I'm generally supportive of privacy providers being required to forward important communication to the registrant. I hope the finalized requirements will be sensible, and I hope there will be no attempts to equate contacting the privacy provider with having given registrants sufficient legal notice.

I, like most of people, live outside the EU and lack experience with EU privacy protection laws. So it is difficult to evaluate your optimism.

Here in the USA, for example, we'd be concerned about not only LEA requests but also requests by individuals and corporations. We just don't have privacy laws that are sufficient to protect against inappropriate disclosures to such parties.

Here, and in many other places I suspect, the best case would be privacy providers voluntarily adhering to a standard where they refuse to disclose registrant information to any party unless compelled to do so by law. If language like "Disclosure cannot be refused solely for lack of any of the following: (i) a court order; (ii) a subpoena;" remains in the final cut, privacy providers won't be able to do this and remain accredited.

Thanks for the feedback.

The real key is that you get stuff done when you don't feel like it. This rewards you for getting the smallest amount done to keep you on track.

The real progress is made when you do large amounts of work, but the small amounts keep you invested.
It would be awesome a section like this on Hacker News. Something like Reddit.
I've skimmed through this a couple of times, and I think the answer is: it doesn't matter, because this article is actually about ending orca captivity by the Sea Worlds of the world. The personhood premise is just a macguffin.
It had four completely different controllers. One like the PS1 with no analog stick, another like the N64. The Logitech aftermarket one was more like an original Xbox controller with D-pad and analog on the left and six buttons on the right.

This console had only eight games. One was region locked to South Korea (and you couldn't play the other seven games in that region). Another one of the games didn't even work properly on all of the controllers.

It always seems weird when people are talking about whether x is a "word", and at the same time changing the definition of the "word" to mean "x".

Of course if we redefine the word "person" to mean something else, orcas can be considered "persons". We can even redefine it in such a way that a chair will be considered a "person" - but should we?

And if, as it currently stands, we have many different definitions, and are not even sure what the word means - of course we will not be sure whether orca is or is not it.

It's the same as with the debate of whether computers can be "conscious". A word is just a label, if nobody clearly understands what it means - conversation about whether or not something can be described by it is pointless.

Having said that, aside from the clickbaity title, article is pretty cool and interesting.

Edit:

Haha, I can't help but imagine that in 30 years human ethics will take another leap, orcas will be deemed sentient, and I will be denied some high status job for such an ignorant and speciest comment. And I'll have to give some apologetic speech "I deeply regret that I held such unenlightened beliefs, I profoundly apologize to the orca rights community, but I'd like to state for the record that I had a horrible day, and did not mean at all to offend the feelings of this oppressed minority by comparing them to furniture." And then the orca judge will sentence me to 10 years of eating algae of shame or something(a proper punishment as their sophisticated culture requires).
I wasn't aware of the original, more useful meaning of "capabilities". Linux really has spread the "posix capabilities" meaning most widely.

But I was aware that most linux capabilities can pretty easily get you full root: http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2522 (I'm really not a fan of linux/posix capabilities, they should probably just be forgotten.)

There's also this thing that's primarily on FreeBSD called "capsicum" which is also a "capabilities" model which I've heard is more secure/useful but really don't know anything about. Lots of relevant links: https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2013/12/20/2013-capsicum...
Just some suggestions through the tough times:

- Talk to friends and family who understand
- See if there are ways that the work done can be absorbed into another company
- Drop a note to mentors/ advisors when you are professionally ready
- Do some small projects for companies in your network who can pay on time, and hopefully also let you slowly ease into a different team and environment
- Cut down on expenses
- Plan your project portfolio and resume
- Try to do at least some light exercise regularly (e.g. 3 times weekly)
- Try to see how you close the loose ends (tough, but take as much time as you need and take into account your mental state)
- Don't force yourself to go all out socially
- Write down thoughts about why you think the startup failed, organize it later when you can look at it calmly
- Don't try to over-analyse the situation
- May want to explore meditation
- May want to explore religion as a way of thinking about life's meaning and putting things in perspective

Sorry to hear this. Condolences and best wishes
I think what you're witnessing is the Perth "blow-hard" effect, wherein the culture has a proclivity towards hype and hubris if it thinks something is "world-changing", because Perth is an underdog city in the context of Australia, an underdog country. Perth culture promotes the idea that its citizens are bound by destiny to have a big impact on the world, since its literally a city on the edge of the world, very far from most of the major civilizing actions, and very isolated from most of what is going on. So it "has to be" a very progressive, "forward-thinking" place. Whenever someone in Perth invents something neat, its a "world-changing thing, invented here in humble Perth" .. usually turning out to be exactly the opposite.

(Disclaimer: Sandgroper.)
I guess you could stick to the strict definition, but then you're sitting in the lunch in awkward silence.

Or you could say "I love fixing up my old house. I'm a big fan of Bob Villa, and he inspired me to get a fixer-upper. Most recently I've been putting in a new hardwood floor. It's a lot of trips to Home Depot, and a lot of reading old Time-Life books..."

I'm not sure I agree much at all, but I take issue with your last statement. Why on earth would I ever want to move to anything remotely like ReactJS when I'm building a single user application? You must carry state information, and in that case explicitly having state is both often conceptually simpler, easier to modify/debug, and require far less code than using something literally insane like using js + DOM.
Good news @Sfi81, there are some tools for this.

>One way it could be useful is if you can trace a set of ivory back to a single poaching network, to understand the network's reach.

And that is exactly what they're doing - mapping the ivory trade back to the regions where its occurring, so that they can indeed find out where the network operates and therefore allocate resources to stopping it.

Discovering that a majority of the tusks came from a particular park is stopping the network where it operates. Governments can go to those parks and start their investigation into why there is so much ivory coming from their area - uprooting the corrupt networks that allow it to occur.

Thank you. I usually use, see *nix. Arguably Android sans Google apps, over-the-air updates fit into that box.

The idea of three nodes, trivially separated and air-gapped is interesting.

One should be able to do the input with an adruino or something (most obvious choice, a keyboard, but could also tack on a mic/camera for audio/video).

Link that with a "one-way" cable to a rpi2 (the "compromised"/networked node), and a cheap android tablet w/o baseband/gsm chips -- and perhaps solder off the antennas/kill the wlan/bluetooth. Preferably one w/o NFC. Use the tablet as the screen, and the "out" node.

Use lobotomized usb-cable for power from the Android-devices battery, and run everything off that.

I do like the idea of having the separation be obvious and simple -- easy to audit.

Suppose one might as well run freedos on the two nodes -- but Linux/BSD is probably less painful.
As a former Google SRE, I'm pretty annoyed with the number of abstractions, indirections, and arbitrary features being pumped into docker. The core concept of Containers is supposed to be that you write to the unix process model, and the process model alone; Not create new systems from whole cloth in overly abstract ways.

This doesn't work for a lot of legacy systems, but rather than port or write new systems to do those functions, the Docker model seems to have absorbed all the hacks without documenting any of the best practices, allowing anyone who's going about creating new systems to wander off into the weeds of subfeatures and hacks.

Unfortunately, the LMCTFY project seems to be dead; They're porting features into the already bloated libcontainer, though I'm certain the borglet it is based on stays fairly pristine. LMCTFY and the google stack are a very different style of systems administration than is currently in vogue; but together they create a beautiful and pristine ecosystem with very few rough edges.

Anyway: If you want to know what you should be building with Docker, figure out how you would build it with just what LMCTFY provides. Some of it is non-obvious (Service discovery is a core service that exists in many forms, but few that are analogous/replacements for what the google stack needs), but by paring down what you work with, you ultimately create much tighter, more reliable systems.

Dunno it feels like they invented the steam horse; laying briks after briks seems grossly inefficient when one could drop entire wall sections at once, especially if they start building them with self connecting piping
"An important difference between HN and other fourms I frequent(ed) however is that instead of taking offense and going on the defensive when 'attacked' by 4chan, they recognize the joke and find it funny. That alone puts HN lightyears ahead of those other organizations."

I'd consider telling an autonomous citizen what they can and cannot do with their bodies in the absence of disparate impact to the rest of the social community at large to be pretty abhorrent, and the definition of "personhood" was used to do exactly that in US abortion debates.

I don't think that capturing killer whales is a thing we should do, but I don't like this line of reasoning: "They have big brains, complex social structures, rich emotional lives -- how can we still hold them captive?"

That line of argument is based on the idea that the rights of an individual are based on the intelligence or capability of the individual. That shouldn't be the case -- if a human being has a impaired intellectual capacity, or no social relationships, that's not grounds for abridging their rights.

The craziest part of Project Fi is that phone calls and network connections do not drop at all while it is switching carriers/WIFI underneath -- there is a lot of low-level networking magic happening here, and the crux of this tech.

It sounds like this is how its supposed to happen. Now if the leftists would get this fixed pie ideology out of their ass we could move on to greater things like we've already done in the last 20 years.

Contracted for a bit. When I had enough cash in the bank after a month or two I took a few months off and did some travel.

I couldn't even bear the thought of another startup (while it was always a long term goal) until I took a break. Now I'm back in the grind.

Shit happens unfortunately, its how you pick yourself up and dust yourself up that separates us. Best of luck.
In an environment with little social welfare, a minimum wage will disproportionately negatively affect workers with disability because they can almost never get hired, and do not receive sufficient support from the government. They will be at the mercy of affection or pity from family and friends.
That is the fear, certainly. But I don't think so. I am thinking that advertising will become more aligned with the content, and ad-publisher relationships will become more organic. Now, I'll also readily admit that I think cooperatives are the future of business, so I can see where people wouldn't agree with my crystal ball vision of the future of advertising.
Higher syrup ratio or less water pressure results in more syrup, and therefore sweeter.

> an era of controlled experiments with minimal data

This world hasn't disappeared, y'know. Many of the specialized packages on CRAN deal with things like missing data, removing selection bias from longitudinal studies and distinguishing mediated from direct effects. These concerns are by and large not even applicable to the data the average data scientist deals with, so why even bother making them scalable?

On the ML front, on the other hand, R has never really been a forerunner.
The lexical scoping rules are precisely what causes this behaviour. The first example defines a nested function which has access to the variables in scope when defined (as you remark).

It's little different than this block defined outside of any function:

{
my $v;

sub b { ... }
}

Whereas an anonymous function is "defined" each time the enclosing scope is evaluated.

Out of interest, do the Firefox team and the Chromium team compare notes on decisions like this?

Purely in this one area (IDN homograph attacks), it might be an idea to look at the Chromium Unicode vetting rules (Which characters and combos get "punycoded") as they seem to be more conservative from a "Latin" perspective.

I'm not sure if a "blacklist" (mentioned in the bug report) is the best way of handling this. Perhaps only direct-encoding the "exemplar characters" for the language setting, and punycoding everything else? I'm pretty sure it would have eliminated the mid-dot issue, but perhaps this "whitelist" is too prohibitive.
The storage is exactly the same, the difference is only in what will happen if the name is encountered somewhere.

I highly recommend taking some time for yourself first, just to reconnect to your loved ones and find some kind of stasis in your life. You're going to need the space to rebuild your confidence levels to be able to show the moxie needed to land the right position.

I have found that taking consulting work is a good way to buffer your income for a while, until you find the position that is right for you.

I don't know if e-lance is the correct way to go about it tho, because there is an element of social branding and networking related to all of this.

You could start blogging, or do some presentations at local user groups of various techs. Writing about experiences like what you have been through can actually be very freeing.

Instead of getting a more efficient car, how about spending it on moving somewhere where you don't need a car? That $20k could go towards a more expensive home that is closer to downtown or public transport links.

Thank you so much for that. I guess this is basically why I am able to order LED bulbs from China on eBay which are better quality and about 1/2 to 1/4th the cost of a locally purchased bulb, plus they come with free shipping.

I had no idea how they could possibly have shipped them to me, in just about 10 days time, when the cost of the bulb seemed lower than the cost of the shipping. So I guess this is another reason why USPS is bankrupt, because they are legally obligated to deliver the parcel, basically for free, after a few cents were paid in China to put a stamp on it. Amazing!

Personally, I think there is a lot of magic yet to be discovered in dynamically manipulating the CSSOM (CSS Object Model).

Case study: If trying to manipulate some ~100 inline-block elements into a grid, with dynamic (say, zoomable + pannable + screen size dependant) width, height and offset. It makes way more sense to programmatically modify the stylesheet using the CSSOM API with fast calculated values, rather than applying unique styles to each of those 100 elements in the DOM, O(1) vs O(n) - yes?
