What is your meaning of "plausible deniability"? In cryptography, this is the fact that data cannot be confirmed to be encrypted. In other words: you see a file or read some raw data and you cannot prove that this is encrypted data vs random bits.

What kind of plausible deniability do you expect from Twitter? The app may leave numerous traces in the phone and this has nothing to do with Twitter but it is just the way things work. Once you know that Twitter was installed, where do you see room for plausible deniability?

Point two: you do not know whether the accounts were deleted. They may have been suspended/masked/whatever.

Point three: well, if you are taking into account internal espionnage, do you expect that the data from within Twitter will only be retrieved after the imprisonment?

Seems like that libtorrent support for webtorrent would be helpful for that.

That was done recently in https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/pull/4123, merged to master, but hasn't been released yet.

Per the master changelog, that should be soon, I guess... https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/blob/master/ChangeLog
The hint file [1] of my 2012 IOCCC entry provides a nice introduction to the binary lambda calculus that this awesome piece of work runs on.

All the lambda terms on that page were manually optimized for minimum blc size. This C compiler term on the other hand was produced by several layers of translation, making it rather large. I suspect that a handwritten version could be written in a thousand pages of lambdas...

Btw, while it makes a nice stress test for LaTeX, I find it a bit odd that "pages of PDF" is the preferred way to express the size of the lambda binary:-)

Looking forward to seeing the binary lambda calculus back-end added to ELVM.

Surely context matters massively?

"Do you even still love me?" "Umm..."

"Do you think Jack deserves this promotion?" "Umm..."

"Do you think this software solves the problem?" "Umm..."

"Surely you realise Donald Trump is the true incarnation of the coming messiah?" "Ummmm....."

Those Ummms may well be massive pitfalls. Alternatively, those ummms might accurately indicate that the entire premise of the question is dubious or flat-out false, depending on your delivery.

A person who uses ummm too much may well have severe problems communicating effectively, and a tool to help them only use ummms deliberately and meaningfully might be useful. A person in a presentation may wish to give an air of humility and approachability, in which case the ummms may be helpful - or they may wish to give an air of authority and certainty, in which case that meta-message is shattered by excessive umms.

Intent-based communication is subjectively valid, and one can argue that expecting and requiring perfectly honed communication might be a form of implicit bias and prejudice. I appreciate the idea that, as a societal issue, reducing our dependence on homogenised thought delivery is worth a wider conversation, but I'd say this is the wrong level from which to attack that systemic change. You don't attack scalpel manufacturers for the proliferation of plastic surgery.

Yet one could argue that a communication is - objectively - only as good as the way it is received. And while the majority of your communication might not need that level of certainty, for many people practice is the only thing they require to achieve the appearance of confidence. And democratising the ability to learn that skill doesn't seem to me a bad thing.
> The normalization error, what you are calling subjectivity, is already accounted for in VSE calculations.

I’d love to see an actual paper of the methodology of VSE (the FAQ is less complete than I would like, but helpful in that it shows lots of problems – for instance, while the brief description claims VSE tests elections with “voters who cluster on issues in a realistic way”, none of the descriptions of the different voter models mentions any tie to any empirical research on how voters actually cluster, instead it simply models three different, apparently chosen because of intuitive/aesthetic appeal, empirically ungrounded, abstract ideals); there are several dimensions of it which seems quite subjective/arbitrary rather than objective, making its conclusions also arbitrary, and, worse, it seems to simply ignore known effects like cultural differences in applying rating systems without concrete grounding (which effects both score-based and limited-ranks systems, but not particularly forced-preference or vote-for-one systems.)

Why is Amazon to blame for this?

Is it not better, assuming a person is set on killing oneself, to give them a way out that doesn't have a relatively high chance of failing and resulting in permanent disability (firearms, overdoses, most ways of depriving oneself of oxygen)? Is it not better to have a relatively less painful method rather than one that, if it goes wrong, you slowly and painfully suffocate to death, should you be so lucky as to die before someone can "save" you and leave you with brain damage (hanging)?

I agree that suicide is inadvisable, but I don't think that this lawyer or families should be able to rent-seek because Amazon allowed people who were set on dying to die with some degree of dignity, by no intention of Amazon's.

If you look at this lawyer's timeline, you see a quote-tweet of concurrence to a sentiment literally saying, "fuck sanctioned suicide. and also fuck amazon. they’re killing our youth together."

It's not Amazon and it's not some abstract suicide that's killing people. It's people that are killing people. Themselves. And they're doing it because life is terrible and miserable and not worth living, not because they just on a whim saw that some online retailer was selling dangerous salt.

Society should solve the underlying problems that end up making life so absolutely and undeniably terrible that killing yourself looks like the more rational option, instead of lawyers using tragedy to make money off of moral outrage in the name of trying to treat the symptom. It's pathetic, disgusting and wrong.

> Have clock speeds really plateaued?

In late 2000, Intel promised that Pentium 4s will hit 10GHz by 2005 – on a presumed 130W power budget –, after the last 5 years saw clock speeds increase from 150MHz to 1.4GHz for the P6 architecture (at a stable 30-40W power budget), and other vendors saw similar increases.

Over 20 years later, we're barely scratching the 6GHz barrier with an opportunistic turbo mode that isn't guaranteed to kick in, if your cooling isn't up to the task of dissipating a record-breaking 250W of peak power consumption.

Same here. Mid thirties. Friends are running successful companies, making 6 figures, in early retirement. I'm still living in a small apartment struggling with a Swiss cheese resume.

My advice to others: don't think "I'm still young, there's still time." Push push push today! You will rapidly run out of time. All through my twenties I did various jobs, I thought that great software job was just around the corner. Turns out it's not that easy and when you're older people expect a lot more from you.
This is one of the most interesting comments I've encountered on HN. Thanks!
As explained in the article DVDs are made by sandwiching the dye and reflective layers between two polycarbonate layers, which are then glued together. The adhesive used is sometimes prone to failure, causing delamination of the disc (this can happen with pressed DVDs as well, I have a few Xbox 360 games that became unreadable due to moisture getting between the layers). CDs do not suffer from this issue as the data layer is placed directly under the label, with no need for an intermediate polycarbonate layer.
Social media and ad networks are so short-term profit driven that the algorithms recommend things to kill off the very users that they are earning money off of.

No, because if a coal plant springs a leak, if you are really unlucky a worker might die from a steam explosion. If a nuclear plant springs a leak the, if you are lucky, reactor containment is irradiated with high level waste, resulting in tens of billions of dollars worth of clean up liabilities. If you are unlucky you leak high level waste into the environment.

Coal plants don't irradiate their steel with neutron radiation either, nuclear plants do, and it changes the material properties of the reactor structure over time.
Seems like the concept would be more useful for emergency response, making e.g. hot meals for a sudden refugee camp.

The general trend of authoritarian intervention around suicide is taking away their autonomy or, in some cases, police raiding their house because they're a "threat."

I'm sure that your proposal would have no adverse outcomes, though.

People should fix society instead of treating symptoms.
They actually make an interesting point if we assume they meant no other employees than oneself. If I can make something entirely on my own with the help of AI and sell it, such as my own movie from Stable Diffusion text to video, then I'd make quite a lot of profit. It's no different than one person software companies, just extended to other forms of creation.
Well sure, but that's precisely what they are doing. Solving the underlying problem is precisely recognizing that in most cases, the issue that is bothering the person trying to commit suicide can be solved by other means, and so one of the first thing to do is to prevent them from doing a suicide attempt

For example, buying a 4K HDR movie on iTunes does not allow you to even cache it locally (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251320670), it is 100% streamed meaning you have to have a very sizeable and stable internet connection to watch it uninterrupted. Downloading it from a side channel means you can buy it on your favourite platform and actually keep it on your computer.

Ask HN: What would you consider to be essential reading for database design?
Aside from a foundational understanding of database operations I really lack the proper knowledge to make proper design descisions for my databases and aplications that interact with those databases. There arent many people at my company that are particularly wise when it comes to this topic and it feels like we are really missing out on some really simple improvements just because we are oblivious to them.

Are there any recommedations for essential reading or proper practice guides for improving database skills? I'm reading 'Database Internals' by Alex Petrov and its really interesting so far but not so practically applicable for me at the moment. It would be great to hear any resources that made a real impact on how you went about working with databases.

I'm mainly interested in SQL databases but resources on no-SQL would be welcome too.
>And it’s really fast. One year to build enough space for thousands of people.

Building Tall building isn't Rocket Science, but building them fast, high quality ( comparatively speaking ) and cheap has not been done yet. And one year to build space enough for thousands of people is not my definition of fast. At least building "On Site".
Shell scripts can be thought like C++. They can be sanely managed only if one adopts a strict subset of functionalities.

The page is probably oriented at situations where one needs to support any version of bash and any obscure/inadvisable functionality (mind that there are still devs that mix sh and bash syntax in the same script), which is very inconvenient and error prone, so manual error handling may make sense.

While there is always something insane behind the corner in Bash, with a restricted subdomain (e.g. bash 4.2+, strict shell options, and shellcheck) it's possible to progressively write reasonably solid shell scripts.

The document conclusion is somewhat biased. "to handle errors properly" implies that `-e` in inherently unreliable, which not fair - strict shell options do remove certain classes of errors, which doesn't hurt.
Proteus Effect
Shh, don't give them ideas!
Exactly the same here, except that I gave all those discs to friends. And I shudder to think how much time I wasted on all that archiving, when it ultimately wasn't worth it at all.

Now, I'm still doing much of the same, but this time downloading movies, TV series, documentaries etc. via Snahp to my archive on an external HDD.

The other day I suddenly had a realisation: Why on earth am I downloading 1080p films to watch sometime in the future when I'm probably going to buy a 4K UHD TV in six months or so from now?

So I need to stop doing so much of this digital hoarding. In the end it's not good for me, and I could instead download whatever I want to watch when I'm actually GOING to watch it.
China announces plenty, breaks ground for less. Announcements are cheap. Likely, they will not end up fueling any they do build, because it costs too much.

China's command economy creates perverse incentives that do not translate to the outer world. And, announced plans often do not reflect reality.

They have also announced >200 new nukes, and last I checked had broken ground on three. I doubt those will end up operating, even if finished, because of cost. But they might be, because [see above].
If it's informed that you will be possibly disturbed by the experiment, I don't think so.

But if you agree to an experiment and wasn't told about it, then yes.

Imagine you sign up to a behavioural experiment, and they put you in front of a tv showing very disturbing images to see how you react, but wasn't told about it beforehand, I don't see how that could be considered ethical.
Why not go with a thin mirrorless? I love the Alpha 6100 from Sony for exactly this purpose.
"Correct" means different things in different contexts. In a fairly standard application of matrix multiplication you don't multiply matrices A and B to get AB, instead you have some floating point approximation to A, and some floating point approximation to B, and you want something that you can be confident approximates AB with some bounds. The two most important characteristics of an algorithm are the runtime and the error bounds you can prove.

Someone smart once said getting the wrong answer in time O(1) is very easy.
I understand it's common for scammers to follow this route. With the modern "tech support" telephone scams, they apparently do the same thing, and if the first wave has scammed you out of money, you'll get multiple additional waves that'll either try different scams, or build upon the first one and pretend to be a police investigator etc.

It's strange to me that there aren't more coordinated investigations. Individually, these will often be smaller sums, nothing that'll justify international police actions, but collectively the damage is huge. Even just one gang will reach millions of USD. They're not criminal master minds, Youtubers are able to track them down.

This already happens, this is exactly how Midjourney (which used Stable Diffusion under the hood) works. You write a prompt, it spits back a grid of images and you mark which ones you like, then it iterates until you decide on your output image.
