Once upon a time, the absolute kings where having a grip of iron on population and would jail anyone having sedditious thoughts.
They would spy and jail people for what they were saying regulating every printed media.
But the populations found ways: speaking their own crafted language
Langue de feu (Fire tongue), javanais for some merchants Verlan, (play on rules of construction) for priests and litterates Slang for the thieves (using a lot of ambiguous use of legitim words else sending IA in the wild of misiinterpretation) dialect and patois for various religious minority (elsacian, cevenols, yiddish) François (initial french speaking) for François Villon my favourite polemist Cockney for the dockers in London
Now think of it: what if you learned Navajo? NSA & else may have the capacity to intercept communication, but what if the clear text message is requiring costly human interpretation or making the IA get crazy because of the apparent non sense?
If going apple and pear is going upstairs, what the automatic NLP will understand?
WTF! The coder did what was totally normal for a coder. Just enforce is moral rights. The stuff every authors should defend because that is why our income are that high compared to manual laborers!
Everyone out of JS told them that there was a problem with DEPENDENCY hell.
They said no. The problem is unsound technical practices where basically the assumption that all will go well is made to build everything.
The removal of a module was expectable like a lot of other things still bound to happen. But JS community did not cared to protect for such a small potential problem.
The problem is never someone doing what he is entitled to. It is people using code without understanding licenses and taking stupid risks.
DARPA Robots are full 2.1D autonomous. Cars have far less degrees of liberty and their "environment" is heavily subsidized.
Why are drones (3D evolution) and electric train (1.xD evolution) easy to build?
Well in the case of drones makers don't care about limiting the movements so rules of feedbacks are easy. In case of train, it is even easier.
It is all about the size of the decision tree and the number of input(sensors)/output(effectors) that are coupled you need to control. There probably is a metric to give you the domain of "accessible" low hanging fruits of automation that can be set according to the domain.
General purpose automates are at best expensive, at worst a scam (see the mechanical Türk).
One way to make bots efficient is to specialize them. Hence the Jacquart mecanic computer that created the industrial revolution of the XIXth and set the workers on fights and created the conditions for WWI.
I guess no one saw the problem of efficiency still exists even with infinite R&D budget (thanks the FED and the QE, free K-PEX).
The problem of robots is by requiring quite a lot of investment for their deployment they set an unfair competition between people being backed up by capital and innovative self made man without capital. But it has nothing to do with the robots. It is all about the unfair access to investment/capital and letting the one having the money makes the rules.
I cant sit, I cant stand, like in school, I need to walk from time to time. Else I get crazy. Anyway, my bosses always dislike me for this the same way my teacher did not like me skipping classes.
I don't understand how people can stand being like rats at their jobs. It is clear activity is needed. And my job is coding, therefore thinking, and I think better while breathing, watching, walking looking the sky and the birds.
People are reproducing the bad habits learned at school forgetting their own self interest, their health. I really don't get how people can shut this little voice singing : I want to be outside, I don't like to be closed in the noise.
I prefer to be fired than told to live most of my existence like a rat in a cage. I was not born to be trapped, I wish to help the others, it does not require me to be in a cage even with free soda.
I would definitively would like to hear from how the new team is wishing to make this sustainable ($) and the long term goals.
Since the team changed, my karma is positive. I guess it is unrelated, but on site like HN, I noticed that OP with interest in promoting their contents had also a tendency to fight opinions contrary to their views. Sometimes fairly, sometimes not. It is just a guess, but it could be checked by measuring the total sum of plus and minus per posts per threads on average and compare it between non advertised news and advertised one. (Just curious and to lazy to do it, when I know a DB can do it fast).
So I my intuition is the removal publi-informations is quite a good news and may had a positive effect at least for me. At least, it makes me feel more likely to accept news without a constant questioning on the motives of the OP, which is already probably making me less trollish and a partial explanation of my new state.
What scares me is that given it is harder to recruit black hats and they have access to less qualified work force they do a pretty good job at defeating top notch major in CS.
Our HR recruitment process are clearly recruiting expansive work force, but not a good one.
I feel more and more uncomfortable with the actual lack of practical knowledge of dev/sysadmins/architects that comes out of schools to directly push stuff in production that are shit.
25 years I do this job, 25 years I know how to avoid SQL injections, 25 years I get fired for asking we remove these from our code base, as much as obsolete ciphers, shell injection, cookie theft, mechanism that result in amplification of DOS...
Well, if computer industry want to lose the trust of their customers by not hiring competent workers, they began by losing mine.
And I do encourage people actively to back all their valuable they can from internet nowadays. This industry is irresponsible.
Marie Curie thought she knew well education and institution were sexists crap : French Science Academy & institutions tried to bar her from being the first french PhD and the first ever Nobel prize in hard Science).
So she decided to make a pool of education with other colleagues that resulted in her daughter being a legitimate scientific and the second Nobel prize in chemistry.
So I will say I don't respect zuckerberg, I do respect Marie Curie going on the battlefield experimenting as a nurse the first X ray radiography dispositive to save life.
You also have a big critic of Feynman on modern education and the cult of the expert (Cargo cult science was first written as a critic of US education).
Modern security especially for this kind of amount of money would really worth having an out of bond validation of money transfer.
Not taxing transaction does not means that transactions should have non null costs. So de facto the minimal tax that should be imposed to money transactions on the internet MUST be a strong real authentication of the persons out of the internet plan to validate transactions.
Else, we are just letting frauders have a good incentive to cheat. Especially since the victims are all forced to pay by subscribing insurance covering internet frauds thus internet payment actors have no incentive to stop the fraud since it is pumping their bebefits.
The amazing fact about sparta is they were outnumbered 1 vs 10 by their slaves.
Slaves that oppositely to Athena they would overwork, underprotect and overtrain to be their cannon folder. Basically overpowering and overnumbering the citizens.
And only twice over centuries did they have revolts. Once from the Thebans that valued critical thinking.
Else, every culture seems to be more likely to more easy to exploit the more they were exploited.
The "ilotes" paradox. Exploitation of slaves seems to make them more obedient to their exploitation.
Oh my. No one has noticed the men programming the IA and constantly moving in the code and changing pipes of data?
Just like dwarves in a mechanical Türk?
AI problem is a detection problem : how can you make sure the AI is right? And who will be liable for the mistakes? The problem is AI don't doubt...and they can fail. So they can fail in all the more catastrophic way they are trusted.
Don't put any hope in false Gods.
Anyway the grasshopers of IT have harvested all the monopoly potential of the cloud, so now they are jumping to a new scam to collect new money for a new field that may even not be possible.
Athen used to be fine and non imperialist until it stopped being an imperfect democracy to embrace Plato's "meritocratic" Republic based on fame and money.
Then, greek civilization disappeared in a war driven by the private interest of a few incompetent selfish people.
Such as Alcibiade, the one described as Socrates lover. Plato's master.
Remember Periclès words that echoes Eisenhower's. Ploutocracy is the ennemy of democracy.
Bosses would be safer if they expected themselves to follow the rules. In the army you will not be demoted as a lowest rank soldier for asking any officers their credentials.
In a company most of the security teams/managers expect bypasses in chain of commands when rules goes from top to bottom.
This social engineering attack known since Mitnick is purely exploiting a simple corporate culture bug. And now it is showing consequences at higher levels.
Well, managers should be held responsible and liable for their obvious failure in their own job. Modern corporate management culture are corrupting economy inappropriatly and may trigger a new economical crisis to come.
The tragedy of the multi role aircraft: expansive jack of all trades, master of none
USAF, marines, navy wants a single platform for 3 uses: - air superiority; - infantry support; - projection.
it requires an aircraft that can do every missions for a cheap price. Else if the enemy can counter your weapons with 10 times cheapest option it means you lose one of your advantages.
Think of how russians/chinese provided cheap missiles coupled with radar station to the viet cong in 1970 that countered the expensive jets of USAF for a while.
Since 10 years, IED that are cheap have been killing and breaking far more soldiers than any warplanes. Infantry units with their logistic are still the major forces deployed.
Maybe it is time we all read books and evaluate if military aerial superiority doctrine is indeed the right/cheapest way to solve conflicts.
Our conflicts are resource based (oil, water, food). Maybe a better economy making resources more evenly shared would prevent conflicts better than pure strength. Not only between nations, but also inside nations. Maybe trying to avoid wars is the best way to not lose wars.
It is just a question of costing and pricing peace. Is peace affordable? Would it be in our local selfish interests? Does it beats conflicts? When should we consider conflicts unavoidable? Will the possible conflict of the future require planes or peace keeping? Can we afford the costs of either supporting or letting refugees die as consequences of conflicts?
I think the actuality of refugees (like in Syria) are showing that some indirect costs are widely underestimated.
It is time to consider conflicts as something else than a mutual eradication doctrine. It is nice scenario in games, but there is only one planet we all depend on and which physical space we share, hence the consequences of our conflicts also impact our countries.
Maybe it is time to ask all governments a clear economical analysis of conflicts, because I don't believe any expensive weapons will be a magic wand to solve the problem.
So mozilla exec have been kind of diverting funding for Free/Open Source Software for their own profits with their aggressive marketing technics.
SSL, TLS were netscape inventions. If they had funded openSSL correctly years ago maybe we could have avoided heartbleed.
Google microsoft and apple too have been taking a lot from FOSS without giving back anything more than noise and orders on how to to ship our softwares in way they like to be more "pro" to diminish their own costs.
I am not influent, my code is what it is, but my licenses and my code are in my power to change. I give up doing free or open source software now on. It profits to much to those I consider the *bad guys*.
It maybe time FOSS community test its power by watching what happens when we stop playing the game.
I am french. Okay, this article makes no sense. Yes a new law on the topic was passed, but they are supposed to be 'progressists'. You know socialists.
The guy quoted is from another government from years ago (Pierre Lellouche) a conservative indeed with not much more credibility than a suits (a lot in France).
Yes, the legal archive seems seem legit.
But everything put together makes no sense.
I cannot even find a link to the company targeted and the supposed infraction. I clicked everywhere. Point me to where is it if I missed, else agree with me it is OMGWTFBBQ like.
I noticed economy is bad everyone claim to have a cheap way to solve energy problem. But this is bullshit.
Reversibility is about making energy transformation without loss.
Changing a turbine (generator) into a a collector is no news to physics. Changing a battery into storage is nothing new. It is not called reversibility.
But calling this reversible is clearly the beginning of an intellectual fraud since I hardly think that this huge dangerous battery (Germany greatest fortuitous discovery of 1936) can be used without at least a tad of heat loss.
So using a word to say efficiency 100% while you need water to cool it down is making me VERY curious about the risk of storing pure H and the efficiency of this huge battery both in storage (loss over time, % restituted) and in restitution.
By the way. The more you concentrate energy in a small place, the more you are likely to build a bomb. Purposefully or not. (LZ Hindenburg 1936)
Since the file "abstraction" has not been enough since the beginning of unix, ioctl enables you to add to your "file" extended capacities. And since I guess systemd is coded in something different than shell, it has access to ioctl.
But the problem with LP is not complex: he might be a genius that love spaghetti flying processes but he does not care to break things that used to work. He is a genius.
And at the opposite of linus torvalds, he acts like a dictator (which is fine for a successful design) too, but not a benevolent one that cares about the users' peace of mind and least surprise principle. Linus shout on contributors/devs that introduce surprising behaviours. LP shout on users that complain of surprises.
You may like it, sysadmins hate that. I now work on BSD and reinstalled windows for the rest and my mind is now at peace.
I love the arrogant bulliers that ensure the stability of my system. I do not like arrogant bulliers that mess with my work tools.
spam to get stopped requires the cooperation of ISP from around the world.
So far 2 solutions exists : - bayesian filtering : with false positive and false negatives that entitles the user to consider you responsible for bad tagging (and lot of labor costs for tagging) - black list that are close to useless now that IPv6 gives that much way to evade the BListing.
But, in the Babel tower we live in, you cannot coordinated with ISP especially that ISP makes money out of spam. And try to find a USA ISP where people speaks more than 1 language or a chinese that speaks french or german.
spam used to be 66% of the mail traffic (I don't know the stats today) and even with a 1/1000000 click it is so cheap there are incentives to go on.
But you know what? ISP don't care about ICANN, IANA, RIPE... and the internet. They care about making the one who pays the more happy. And with spam and this undue traffic, it "pumps up" the fraffic, hence the 95th percentile, hence their revenues.
The RULES give incentive for people to cheat, why should they not?
IETF, ICANN, RIRs are broken ; who do they represent? The internet users? Internet is no democracy, it has shifted to an aristocracy.
Internet is slowly dying from a high noise signal ratio.

In their police drama, their super police man get people condemned for giving an order to make crimes.
Trumps' speech are clearly related to riots that are as far as I know illegal, but since it is public, legal liability is none.
So, if Al Capone 2.0 existed he would just have to be a politician gives his order of execution in public to never be jailed.

Now computers could potentially be bricked remotely... progress is an amazing thing.
