It was in 2019 in Canada. https://issuesinsights.com/2019/08/30/media-ignores-climate-...

Something similar happened 8 years ago. https://techcrunch.com/2010/05/05/video-major-facebook-secur...

Good point with broadcast TV. For shows I enjoy on Netflix, I'll usually miss the latest season on live broadcast if I forget to set the DVR to catch the series. If I wait until episode 3, I've already missed 1 & 2. So I can hope for enough re-runs to catch them all or wait longer for the series to migrate to Netflix where I can watch on my own schedule.

I also find entertainment in watching game streamers, but I catch them on Youtube at my own schedule as well. I've never attempted to subscribe to Twitch and watch live.

They're also contributing to traffic congestion and pollution. Does that also make them sadists?

That's a very vague anecdote. If someone affected by mental illness is prepared to harm themselves or others in the process, including "mass shooters", then police being prepared to respond in a way that minimizes overall harm may be appropriate. Saying it "played a role" in 25% of a number of killings, could easily include a set of completely unrelated types of situations and mental illnesses. It also doesn't begin to describe how many lives may have been saved in each of those situations, or countless others that didn't involve "killings". Finally, do you have any idea how many deaths, people we can reasonably call "terrorists", are responsible for throughout the world? Including conflicts throughout the middle east with nearly daily bombings? Or are you only counting a few high-profile incidents in the United States?

As the OP explains, the knives in question are not illegal and not in violation of Google's policies. Additionally, other vendors selling the same items are not being banned.

I think the "evil" part relates to discriminating against certain vendors instead of treating all vendors equally and consistently.

I worry that most of the opposition to this bill is based on FUD that EFF is spreading. Having experience actually working in the security industry and knowing the limitations that this bill is trying to address, the ability of the government and private sector to work together to keep malicious groups out of their networks, I recognize the necessity and intentions of this bill.

This isn't about spying on Americans. This isn't SOPA with a new name. This isn't about stopping piracy or spying on your facebook profile. This bill is about letting government agencies share intelligence on network threats with private companies so those companies can protect their customers information. None of the agencies or companies involved want to share any private information about their citizens or customers. There are lots of lawyers involved in the process to ensure that doesn't happen.

I wonder if some of that exhaustion is also what leads people to not read the bill or understand the context and just assume it's another anti-piracy bill.

Many places encourage the kids to pledge allegiance to the country carrying out those strikes. It seams like that talk should happen before they're taught the pledge.

There's also the "phone story" app that was intended to raise awareness of human rights abuses that go into manufacturing devices such as the iPhone itself.

"Phone Story was pulled from the iTunes App Store on Tuesday September 13 at 11.35am, only few hours after its official announcement."

I personally liked how the examples seamed to start with worst-cast and progress toward their new possibly "best case" method.

What do you think is gained by starting with the new result?

The admin should be logging in as a standard user with sudo access and using sudo for any administrative tasks anyway. This minimizes how much code is running priviledged, it also allows his actions to be audited because they're all logged.

Additionally, if he's using key-based authentication, that key should still be encrypted so it can't be stolen and used by someone with unauthorised access to his filesystem. So he still has to remember the password to unlock his key when he fires up ssh-agent.

This reminds me of anicechat.net but it looks like it uses sound?

If your path requires a participating station for the proxy-connection to succeed, just measure successful and unsuccessful proxy-connections against different network paths and logically determine which paths have participating nodes and which don't. Compare the results and expand your search until you narrow down which hops in your path are required for a success.

My concerns:

* "proxy-less" is a bad term, it sounds like they're still using a proxy, it's just using https encapsulation along the way to hide this from the first few hops.

* The participating entry-nodes (proxies?) could be systematically determined with a scanner for future blacklisting or investigation by someone trying to stop this circumvention of censorship.

* You have to trust the people running the entry nodes, if they have the key to decrypt your traffic. This sounds like a design that governments can use for monitoring.

Will this app show the user how the congressmen plans to vote on current bills?

Could the user upvote/downvote bills as an efficient way of sharing their opinion. Isn't this what letters and phone calls are turned into at best anyway? A tally.

While I agree that it is a problem that the US has a large and growing prison population, I don't think it's a fair comparison to the conditions being described in these camps in NK.

US prisoners are afforded many more human rights than the prisoners in these camps. They are fed and housed humanely. They are also given a fair trial as defined by the constitution before they are incarcerated and they serve specific prison terms with options for parole.

And what is that obscure method?

What data are basing the opinions of "most people" and "average consumers" on?

This worries me more than the malware.

I don't own an e-book reader because books that I purchased could be deleted without my consent.

Still waiting for all of the Samsung Galaxy S variants to get 2.2 officially.

Right, I paniced when I thought the headline refered to Verizon Fios. My next thought was, what if the heavy fios users are the ones paying for higher bandwidth plans?

Maybe the poster should have kept the first half of the original title for context.

The "Motofone" is simpler and would cost less if they sold it in the US. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2143197

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw the headline "minimalist phone". The wikipedia page confirms it's not available from Motorola in the US. I'm curious if anyone has had luck using an unlocked one?

What if the pirates have mirrors? What if they have laser safety glasses with the correct range of filters?

What if the laser that's tuned for a long distance reflects off of something closer and permanently blinds the crew?

This sounds like an expensive and dangerous solution that can be easily circumvented.

That still sounds like a solution when you're restricted to only accessing one side of the door. They might be able to rig something up before they leave the room that is much easier to execute after they close the door and without looking.

A string with adhesive, attached to the end of the chain, run over to the open door and under the edge of the locking plate. Then under the door. Close the door, pull the string, door is locked and string comes off. No evidence, takes two seconds. It might need a little tweaking but sounds plausible.

The hardware to do this exists. http://www.tonidoplug.com/

Edit: This example may lack wireless, but it's close. Anyone know of better examples?

There are tricks for unlocking it with something as simple as rubber bands. ( http://blackbag.nl/?p=1315 )

There are also tools for sale that go under the door for manipulating such locks. I imagine those could be used to replace the chain. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAkJRpKeyYg )

It should be even easier than unlocking it since you have access from the inside to set something up that you could pull from the outside after closing the door.

My first thought when reading about this is I know NVIDIA makes rack mounted devices with their "Tesla" GPU for HPC applications like this. I would feel more confident with hardware designed for what the Airforce is trying to do and it seams like the Tesla servers would have a lot less wasted hardware and may be more efficient in a server environment.

So I googled it and found out IBM already moved from Cell to Tesla last May.

I'm also curious how AMD's new APU will affect this market.

It would be an interesting day if someone could make regular expression searches over a large data set as fast as keyword or phrase searches against a sorted and indexed database.

They also need to make sure they use an implementation that doesn't suffer from exponential time[1] regular expressions.
