The legality of them is largely in the implementation. For example, many red-light/speeding cameras don't prove who was driving the vehicle. There have also been issues with shady companies operating them and cities deliberately timing lights to increase ticket revenue.
Don't worry, we have ShotSpotter for that
Would really love to see movement on integrating Temporal better with Scala on the JVM, just like it supports Java and Kotlin now. Would love to collaborate or help making this thing happen if you have many things on your plate.
So shot spotter but for cars. We know how well that system works... My biggest gripe isn't loud cars, but loud motorcycles. Yes there are loud cars here, but 9/10 it's a harley.
In case some people confuse "freedom" with just being a douchebag.

Living in the calm and quiet East Flushing, I now put my noise cancelling headphones on without anything playing, just to walk through the morning Manhattan.

The mosaic of noises is so jarring that I would come to my desk already all riled up, before I even sat down.
It's not generally other drivers that are detrimentally impacted by loud cycles/vehicles (though there have been numerous times I got spooked by a rider gunning it to lane split next to me). The problem is for the people relaxing, trying to unwind in their homes being constantly assaulted by road noise.

Edit: and the idea that a big Harley chopper idling at a stoplight isn't ridiculously loud is absurd. "FUD DUD DUD DUD DUD"
Yes? This proves that the writer thinks that everybody should obviously change from unittest to pytest. It does not prove the writer to be correct in all circumstances. Each project should make their own determination of whether a third-party library is worth it.
Fantastic! I live in south Queens next to the Brooklyn border and good lord the idiots here with their loud cars. Every night it's a cacophony of revving engines, tires screeching and exhaust bangs. You hear the same bullshit sound repeatedly every god damn day. Usually a slammed mustang, infinity or BMW with a two step or whatever that noise making exhaust mod is and either an instagram tag or car club name. And its not just a few cars but a culture around here. You see these clown cars parked all over the neighborhood and I know a few spots where they congregate and street race. The city's response so far has been to install speed trap cameras all over the damn place and nothing else. And people are complaining, loudly, but no one has been seemingly listening.

Though my gripe about this is: Many of those cars have questionable registrations with mostly PA and FL plates. Those guys purposefully gun it for the speed cameras as the tickets go nowhere. The city installed a speed camera the block before me and one night walking home from the store I saw a supra speed down the block, a residential street, at 50+ mph with middle fingers out both windows for the camera. I want these people to die.
The funniest thing is that climate change is now unavoidable and will make nuclear meltdowns even more likely because of the extreme weather events it will trigger. Now seems like the worst possible moment to remove safety restrictions...
extreme anarchist would say "zero goverment" but that different than "default to self-government" which is more consistent with rational anarchism. So I maintain that they aren't too far apart. Both are about choosing the limited scope of the state.
DuckDuckGo and Neeva are feed by Bing.

sudo apt-get install firefox ?
> 1Password got famous for building a great core product. It managed my logins I stored myself and autofilled them wherever I needed. It was clean and simple. Now they are so focused on growth and Product features like this that they have completely lost their way.

The issue is, the "core product" has been Sherlocked - i.e. is now an included feature on many operating systems and browsers. Apple's iCloud password manager is available on all Apple platforms plus on Windows. Android/Chrome and Windows are improving their in-built password managers as well.

So 1Password, as a business, has to pivot to selling to businesses, which is where they expect most of their revenue to come from. This has resulted in individual customers being sidelined, so perhaps you should switch to one of the free inbuilt alternatives.
Hey, that's a great idea!

I also quite like the 'chime' sound when you press the Show Answer button on one of those sites, I think I'm going to set it as my ringtone. It sounds enough like a generic smartphone ringtone to the vast majority of people, but for those select few it will trigger traumatic flashbacks of the time they were caught cheating on an online exam.
It should be noted that self types are non-trivial to implement and if one is not careful when using them, impredicativity can lead to inconsistent or undecidable definitions.
Afaik Perl is not declining in popularity, it's just not growing in popularity as fast as many other languages, so it's market share shrinks while the number of users it has grows.
This is great, I am all for enforcing more quality of life measures over things like street sweeping. Ticket people who take two parking spots by not pulling all the way forward, loud cars, loud subs, etc. All the things that make living in a city that much harder. If you want to live in tight proximity with tons of people it is reasonable that you need to have a higher level of consideration.
Illegal. One has a right to face their accuser per the Constitution. I also knew a guy where the toll booth reader sent him a ticket for a car from another state with the same license plate digits. Took him forever to prove it wasn't him. More draconian AI computer police is not the answer to this problem.
I know what you mean but at the same time I think "toolbox for colors" describes it quite well with very few words. I also think it's best to just try the tools.
But I do think that the tools themselves need descriptions and maybe even a small tutorial, so thanks for bringing that up.
sudo apt install firefox

works just fine.
Not that surprising.

For humans, unlike for computers, adding and subtracting are different concepts. Think about how most people would transform "-3 + 7" into "7 - 3" and only then compute, because it's easier to "reverse" the operation than work with negative numbers.
My default is DDG but I am enjoying Kagi right now and I totally recommend it
I want customizable color schemes and fonts and sizes. It's nice as a user to pick full-on custom themes. Sadly even though Qt is based around theming, I had to turn off theming for semi-customized controls (colored sliders) to make them render correctly on Windows and Linux Breeze/Fusion. And it's more work to verify my app looks good across OSes when QButtonBar and QFormLayout change appearance on different OSes. So finding a good solution is nontrivial.
They arguably violate the right to confront one's accuser in court. Not sure if I buy that argument personally, since there's probably a technician who operates the camera system who could show up to court.
> That installs a binary tool I can run at the command line

No, that install an application in general. You choose to run it from the command line. If you want to just turn your terminal into the application, `exec firefox`. Most window managers provide a way to run an application standalone via some shortcut. On i3 it is Win+D for example.
As I say. I don't know who is counted. In any case, I certainly imagine grocery chains that bake on-premise have "bakers" and there are more of them in that type of job than working in high-end artisan bakeries.
Do you have a reference about Greenpeace taking money from fossil fuels companies? I would be very interested to read it but I could not find anything in my search.
Regular speed-guns have the same issues, though.
Please just give me the option to turn the hamburger menu into a regular menu bar.
Do you know how to use apt? [0] It sounds like you're trying to install software the windows way (download from a website and run).

Some software is distributed as source only, but it's super rare for anything remotely popular to not be packaged (although you might have to add a PPA).

Yeah I think I'm mixing up my stories here. There was a "Disney Version" of Toy Story 3. And there was a very different Pixar version of Toy Story 2 that this story applies to.
It's not that amazing: They do it because they can, and they know that everyone around them has learned to be helpless to stop it. Consequence-free belligerence is endemic here (I'm assuming USA), because it's usually not against the law and when it is, nobody is willing to stop it. And if you take action against it, you're the one in trouble. So the bullies get free rein.
I'll check out Neeva, I hadn't heard of this one. Right now I am playing with Whoogle which I have installed on my server. It's pretty good! Google results without the ads and tracking :D
Why are the wild birds more important than all the insects they will kill? You should be grateful to the cats for helping to protect the bugs.
Isn't OTP vulnerable to MITM attacks?
I dont think there's any justification for this position, really. Density in Macau is 20,000 people per square kilometer. Parts of the NY/NJ metro area like Guttenberg are 22,000. San Francisco is 6,600. Hong Kong is 6,300. London is 5,700. There is a ton of room to increase density before we start reducing demand.
Not if the Japanese person was running at you with a weapon in-hand:

> In addition, the Japanese had organized the Volunteer Fighting Corps, which included all healthy men aged 15 to 60 and women 17 to 40 for a total of 28 million people, for combat support and, later, combat jobs. Weapons, training and uniforms were generally lacking: many were armed with nothing better than antiquated firearms, molotov cocktails, longbows, swords, knives, bamboo or wooden spears, and even clubs and truncheons: they were expected to make do with what they had.[63][64] One mobilized high school girl, Yukiko Kasai, found herself issued an awl and told, "Even killing one American soldier will do. ... You must aim for the abdomen."[65] They were expected to serve as a "second defense line" during the Allied invasion, and to conduct guerrilla warfare in urban areas and mountains.

At the very least it would be a form of self-defence.
Up-voted you because of the high quality comment. Thank you for the provided links.
Public opinion is changing. Someone ran a red light at the intersection of Franklin and Union and killed a teacher right in front of a school recently.

In New York City, speed cameras started in school zones. I think that's an excellent place to start.
Well, I was specifically replying to infrastructure costs. But I can address non-infrastructure costs too.

Most important is that there is no need at all to make an account first. You can stick a "make account" link under settings for the people that want it.

It definitely is some amount of dev work, but it's the kind of thing where you could make an acceptable version in a day or two. Especially if it just spits a secret code at you and you input that code into a different device. Password recovery isn't necessary. Privacy policy can be two sentences. Backups can be a daily rsync.
yes that occupation has changed considerably in the last 100 years. A "baker" today is usually the person who opens Krispy Kreme in the morning. 1914 was a decade and half before sliced bread was even invented!

These days, bread is made very efficiently in massive plants (which is why it costs only $0.93 a loaf at my grocer)
This looks great! Going to talk this over with my co-founder to include in our list (currently have direct TD Ameritrade interaction)

Feature wishlist:
- Include Interactive Brokers
- Support Options in trades
We use JSON-patch/diff internally for our rebase operation. We looked at implementing it on rfc6902 but it turned out to be awkward because of the path descriptions, and insufficiently rich for the kinds of patches that we needed. We could have extended rfc6902 but then we'd be in the embrace / extend / destroy pattern no?
These are decrees, not law
Ask HN: Is there an ad network with visually pleasing ads?
Ads are annoying but is there a platform to monetize a page with visually pleasing ads that are not annoying?
The thing is that the independent voters are independent of each other, as well as of the two major parties. They don't agree on anything, other than opting out of the national discussion and accepting the decisions of the other two.

This is often mis-represented as a "third party". There is no third party. There are nineteeth, twentieth, twenty-first, etc. parties. Technically some party must be "third" but it's so far behind the two major ones that it doesn't matter.

Elections only have one winner. You can have as many losers as you want, but in the end you must assemble a large enough coalition to be the single largest vote-getter. "None of the above" is not such a coalition.
I'm not sure if they are, you did pretty good at exaggerating them.
The Pandemic Isn’t over for Immunocompromised People
I mean, anything past 256 bits is going to have a collision, so that doesn't matter, but you're right that the entire point of a hash is that even if you know the hash, it's very very hard to find what the plaintext is.
Well then problem solved, and both of you don't have to interact with each other?

I am not sure why someone else's preferences would offend you so much.

Sometimes, different people just have different ways of interacting with each other, and that is totally fine, and you don't have to be friends.

There is no need to be upset at them.
Been using you.com for 2 months now. Great for tech queries. I'll be honest - I wasn't into the layout at first but now I really like it. Great stackoverflow results.
Proximity of what?

With a hardware token, it’s very clear that the token is in the physical possession of the user or not. It can only be in one place at a time. With a challenge/response or PIN, you mitigate the risk of the user losing possession.

With a TOTP token, if a user puts Authy or 1Password on the family iPad so their kid has access to MFA for the PlayStation, he has also provided the kid or other household member/visitor with access to the token. The token is wherever Authy is.

The point is TOTP shares all of the risks associated with things like SSH private keys. It has value, but is inferior to many other types of token.
> those same bikers will ignore other items on those safety lists like wearing brightly colored high visibility jacket/vest.

If anything, the black leather jacket is practically a uniform.

> But loud pipes save lives

The argument falls flat on its face when you extrapolate it to any other medium. Cyclists and pedestrians should be going around with boomboxes attaches to their bodies.

I love the sound of a good vehicle. But pump that sound in for the driver, not for the unconsenting bystander.
Anyone know of any plug and play ai cameras that I can put outside and program to yell at the people who don't clean up after their dog goes on the sidewalk. It's gotta be like one or two people In each neighborhood who need to be lightly scolded by a robo voice to pick up after that pet.
Maybe newer stock Harleys. When owners replace stock tailpipes with aftermarket ones, that's when the noise issue really comes in. Straight shotgun pipes are loud and have no baffles.
Those are terrible mileage numbers for a modern gas vehicle, let's be clear. I recently averaged 37mpg with a 200hp VW in Comfort mode on a trip up and down CA 101.
The standard of construction has also changed since 1914. Not only do few people want to build a 900sqft freestanding home, if they did it today with that Sears kit, it would break nearly every building code in the book.

A more equal comparison would be to a prefab or mobile home, which you can get for that inflation adjusted price.
I'm assuming you have never had an 18-wheeler parked outside your window honking non-stop. Terrorism isn't the right word, but that is disruptive beyond a protest.

Also "Honk Honk" has be co-opted my more extreme forces. I think we all know what "HH" stands for. But it has deniability, so it's perfect for them.
The rebuild cost, as estimated by my insurance company, is more than half the total value of my house. And I live in Seattle, where land is relatively expensive. Construction cost is not "almost nothing" by any means.
Well if they go to work at 3am, that probably means they’re asleep earlier in the day. All you gotta do is blast music at that time until they get the message.

For extra fun, automate it to start playing music as early as you can to match their sleep schedule, even when you’re out of the house. Say that it’s to warm up your speakers for when you get home.
This was a machine that would have to be cranked.

The Difference Engine was hand-cranked, but the Analytical Engine was intended to be steam-powered. The thing was going to be the size of a locomotive. Most of that was memory. As I've pointed out before, the big problem in the early days was affordable, fast memory. Babbage's design, at least one version, was to have the ability to store 1000 numbers of 40 digits each. So, 40,000 number wheels, with some kind of mechanism to bring them to the read/write station. Access time would probably have been measured in seconds.

The arithmetic unit wasn't the big part of the machine. It was roughly equivalent to a desktop mechanical desk calculator, after all.

Something similar appears to have happened with Babbage, where he started with a simple calculating device and, thinking about it more deeply, single-handedly came up with a Turing-complete design and was writing programs for it.

Desktop calculators existed long before Babbage. Leibniz built the first mechanical multiplier around 1673. Mechanical arithmetic was known. Babbage's contribution was the instruction decoder and control unit.
Mechanical arithmetic was limited more by cost-effectiveness and reliability than by conception. The commercial breakthrough was cash registers, in the mid 1880s. First really cost-effective application.
Babbage's machine might have been buildable, but not cost-effective.

A few years ago, there was some guy in the UK talking about an analytical engine build. But he never got very far. I'm surprised someone doesn't have one running in Minecraft or Unreal Engine.
Does any agency have the authority to enact a rule that mandates a minimum duration for the yellow light?
You can face your accuser (the traffic cop) and you can challenge the calibration/accuracy of their radar/lidar gun.

If you challenge the accuracy they have to prove it was tuned recently (usually 6 months~) prior to issuing the ticket and tested the day of (usually).

There IS an audit trail for of certificates and logs of tuning for radar guns so they can prove it in court if challenged.

There is NOT an audit trail for traffic cams because the companies don't expose enough information to audit.

If you challenge a traffic ticket from a red light camera, you will usually win because they can't prove you guilty.
um... harleys have a wide range of sounds depending on accessories and aftermarket mods. I can definitely hear one idling if it's next to me.
While driving I-10 through Jacksonville, I witnessed a biker on a Harley splitting the lanes, riding on the dash. Hearing the rumble from well behind, I held my position in the lane as he passed but the next set of cars in front of me wasn’t as prepared. When the biker slipped between the two cars in front, he decided to gun it, scaring the driver in front of me to swerve across the interstate, bouncing off both guardrails on each side of the interstate, like a pinball. Nearly caused a big pile up, while the biker motored off with his obnoxiously loud pipes. Granted most bikes aren’t this loud, but there are plenty that will rattle your bones as they pass.
>Frankly, I strongly recommend that people who think that there was some sort of equivilent between the Nazis and the western powers, or between the Japanese and the Americans in World War 2 put down youtube videos, and really do a deep dive into what these states were really about.

There is no moral equivalence between the allies and the axis. But even a just war can be waged unjustly by the good side. Is it really a good look to compete with the most vicious regimes in history how cruelly one can treat one's opponents, particularly those who are just caught on the wrong side? Is it collective punishment to treat an entire civilian population under military dictatorship as culpable as the members of the junta themselves? Even if it's collateral damage, under what circumstances is it justifiable to burn to death 100000 men women and children in one night? I don't see moral relativism in raising these questions at all, rather a consistent moral stance which applies the same standards to all scenarios, friend or foe.
I think it could help with being vectors for malware. The proposal wants advertising sdks to be uploaded to the play store as separate apks, and run in a separate process with limited permissions with no remote code execution allowed. Perhaps that might help you install apps without the SDKs as well.

But the sandbox does appear to be computationally costly since the spec says it may not be enabled on starter android 13 phones. Also I doubt it will help regarding aesthetics.

Of course the documents have all this as optional features rather than compulsory ones. But it sounds nice.
I see research from 2012 showing it's 10x the price of current methods but maybe the price could come down and then.... the usual nothing useful that ever comes of Nuclear research.
SSH's model isn't very good, either. You can be MITM'ed for free the first time you connect (obviously, that's what TOFU means), and server identities are tied either to network addresses or to domain names, neither of which are permanent.

Tor Hidden Services are closer to a well-designed petname system. The important insight is that, since domain names are too technical for ordinary people anyway, they might as well just be random numbers. If you trust someone to give you the real domain name for the server, you can also trust them to give you a signature for their real public key, and you don't even need a CA any more. The advantage of using a cryptographic signature for your address is that it implicitly forms a web of trust, using the links that people were already sharing.

The biggest problem with this — and SSH doesn't seem to do a better job of it than Tor does — is key rotation. Deprecating an old cryptographic algorithm is a total disaster in any system that doesn't support key rotation — it's fine on the server side (just host with both keys, and serve a 301 redirect from the old one to the new one), but the client side eventually needs to stop supporting the old algo, because those would be vulnerable to downgrade attacks, and at that point you cut off anyone who hasn't switched to the new one yet. CA's take care of this, because it's literally their job, but distributing the responsibility to everyone can easily mean it doesn't get taken care of properly.
And since legislation to have unarmed officers handle non-violent citations has gone nowhere in the last decade the push is now for just eliminating all the minor citations that, historically, have selective enforcement against the already vulnerable and tackling them differently.

Jaywalking is a good example, it doesn't get enforced basically ever and when it does it's overwhelmingly poor minorities. So the city has just been adding pedestrian crossings in areas where people where people jaywalk to reduce the incentive.
