Keeping Zurich industrialists on their side was essential to helping supply German war efforts-that's how Dehomag laundered its purchases of Hollerith cards from IBM, and I think how GM Europe's part-ownership of Ethyl Inc.facilitated getting TEL to the Luftwaffe.

In addition to losing all that, it would be a costly and drawn-out war against an entrenched enemy on hideously unsuitable terrain. The desire was absolutely there, Hitler hated Swiss Germans, but cooler heads prevailed, apparently.

Just for clarification from someone who is familiar with GOMAD (Gallon Of Milk A Day):

The purpose of GOMAD is to pair a intense workout program (Three or so lifts per workout, workouts every other day, 3 rounds of 5 reps per lift, adding 5lbs to your max each workout), with more resources than the body can possibly utilize. GOMAD + a normal diet comes out to roughly 4000-5000 calories a day. This is typically enough to allow your body to fully recover from every workout in such a short period.

The system is designed so calories are "left over," which adds fat. Then after you're done with GOMAD, many people typically go on a paleo-style diet and then lose that fat they gained.

Just some info from someone who's done it!
I don't think the 'magic' is rails' real problem. It's the fact that all of the effort that went into making everything happen 'automagically' gets in the way when you want to do something the core developers never thought of.

100 %. I’m in Berlin right now. Compliance with mandatory mask rules here is now basically 99 % on public transport and in public indoor spaces. I would have never thought this could happen in such an otherwise rebelliously spirited city. But most people seem to understand that mask use is about protecting others as much or more than about protecting oneself.

In Sweden on the other hand, mask use is neither mandatory, nor has the messaging been about that mask use is about protecting others primarily, nor seem Swedes to care a lot about protecting others. This whole mask issue has revealed a rather ugly, selfish side of Swedish mentality to me. In addition to the stubbornness and widely internalized national exceptionalism.
Most of these points are also true for other cryptography related projects (e.g. Tor), simply because the majority of all non-profits, regardless of agenda, is funded by the government.
I think you misunderstood my comment? I don't think it's useless. It's annoying and not perfect but airport security has improved safety of aviation by a lot in my opinion. The lack of any successful onboard attacks on aircrafts in the past decade (when other terror attacks happened frequently in Europe) are a good indicator for that.
"Unions can only raise wages by constricting the supply of labor."

SAG doesn't make it's 'wage' because production companies are forced to hire from a smaller pool of SAG workers.

SAG sets prices.

There are actually an 'unlimited number' of SAG workers who would, if it were note for those numbers, also work for $0.

Also - unions don't set their wages by 'restricting labour' - they negotiate directly using the power of being able to shut down production. (Ok, arguably this is 'restricting the labour pool to current workers' but that would mean something different).

For Doctor and Nurses - you could argue that those guilds do actually restrict the number of workers in the field to keep prices up by supply & demand, but that's generally not what unions do.

Sure, it wouldn't work for all aspects of all sports, but it certainly would for a lot of athletics and field sports (i.e. most of the kinds of sports that the ancient Greeks would do). And with other sports you'd level the playing field even if there were aspects you couldn't control for.

This situation makes up a good portion of an intro game theory course - the section is usually titled "games with asymmetric information", the problem is described as "the market for lemons", and the solution is described as "signaling devices", all of which are ridiculously un-Googlable terms, unfortunately. The economists who noticed this phenomena won a Nobel Prize for it, so there's a good indication that it's well recognized.

Also, a ridiculously amount of money is already made compensating for this, and we tend to hate the industries that make it. Consider this: almost the entire higher education industry is devoted to letting unemployed young people signal that they are, in fact, fit for the labor market despite never having held any job. The certification industry takes over that function for older workers, letting them signal that despite being out of work or wanting to switch fields, they can perform the job they're being hired for. A major portion of the open-source industry is driven by programmers who do that more directly: by writing code on their own time, not locked up by NDA, they signal future employers that they can write good code and increase their value on the open market.

Another interesting observation: one way to get rid of the problem would be to make all information public. If all of your past work products, private statements, interactions, personal beliefs, etc. were always available to anyone who wished to look, then prospective employers could always completely and thoroughly evaluate whether they wished to work with you. And vice versa: companies that act blatantly stupidly or crookedly would have their stupidity and malfeasance exposed to the world, and everyone would refuse to do business with them. It's like Foucault's Panopticon, yet instead of having a single authority watch everybody, everybody can watch everybody else.

Somehow I don't see this being politically acceptable, though.
I know there are more than several of us on Hacker News, who work in the field of information security and many ask who ask how we got started. Dan Guido created this guide for recent college graduates looking to break into information security as a career path. Before, Dan put together a class on penetration testing and vulnerability research, where some of the world's top leading researchers are guest lecturers.
I've noticed that for my team, some of the bigger meetings seem to attract the problems described in the article, whereas our scrum meetings are more on-topic and brief. It would seem that for our case the 'everyone calls in' solution would work better in the bigger meetings, while we keep the face-to-face interaction in the scrums.
Not sure why this is being down voted, but it seems pretty fair to me. DRM is the reason why YouTube still uses Flash as the main player, the same for Netflix with Silverlight.

Given Twitter will mainly be doing this from a commercial angle, I can't see them being any different - if anything their technical might will lead to stronger DRM technologies.
Somebody realizing that the key to AGI is to duplicate the human brain's efforts. The human brain is a copy machine, it duplicates behaviors it sees.

We should have more research into behavior duplication algorithms.
Airplane mode is not fair. After all, "dumb" phones last for many days even without airplane mode, as long as you don't over use them. The fair test is this: how long will it last when used as if it were a dumb phone. Answer: pretty good, but much less than an actual dumb phone.
Maybe that's something we could have figured out before it started, but maybe we had to go down the path to know that it was a bad path to go down.

> I agree for the most part, as I'm somewhat of a mathematician myself (theoretical computer science).

Haha, see? You can call yourself a scientist and nobody will bat an eye! Computer Science was once a branch of mathematics; and now it's a full-fledged field. But as you note, the pure-math roots still shine brightly. I'm somewhat of a computer scientist myself; I peddle in algorithms, graph theory, and more generally discrete math. Which brings me to a point I forgot to make: fundamentally, I'm an experimentalist. Not all mathematicians are.

> However, you state "mathematics is one of the only sciences that finds absolute ground truth", which I would argue sets it apart from being a science: science does not deal with absolute truth.

Happy to live with this disagreement, but not all mathematicians find ground truths. For example, there's a significant industry on "conditional proofs" in number theory -- they assume that the Riemann Hypothesis, or even the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, is true, and discover results based on that. Others work on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. They collect evidence, and report on it; similar to the 5-sigma proofs I derided earlier -- the distinction is that they only call things proofs when they're actual proofs.

In our shared world, there is the question of P vs NP. We've got a hypothesis (I tend to believe that NP won't be constructively equal to P; but I wouldn't be terribly surprised by a nonconstructive proof). Folks devote their lives to examining this dichotomy: given a problem class, resolve it into P or NP -- I call that an experiment!

I claim that endeavors like the above are actually following the scientific method. Only we use somewhat different language. I've seen snobbery on both sides^ -- scientists and mathematicians are happy to build and maintain a fence. And I find that sad.

^and, oops, I did that with my 5-sigma dismissal
From my brief reading of the spec, the three modes are mostly just a matter of where the keys are generated and stored. I think the messages themselves are indifferent to the mode (and therefore intermediaries can't determine between the three).

I think another interesting quote is:

"I used to trust John Gruber. Now I will just read him."

I'm not certain what there is to trust about Gruber--follow the links and read things through if it is interesting. I'm mostly a fan of "claim chowder," so maybe the author is focused on other things.
I'm using a linear columnar split keyboard now (moonlander from zsa, redox from falbatech before that). That has done much more to reduce strain than anything else I tried.

> 1/6 was the beer hall putsh

This is ridiculous, this is unbelievable. There wasn't even a leader on 1/6 - there was Trump telling everyone "go march, I'll be there with you" and then he didn't even go.

If there had been a leader, if there had been some person that the crowd knew and was rallying behind, it might have been a different story, but there was nothing of the sort. No speech, no actual politics, just pent up rage.

> The same man who spent the last four years directly attacking the free press

The press is not free, the press is captive, it's run by billionaires who want to keep their position entrenched no matter who is in power or what is in vogue. \

That same man abdicated, too, so what are you afraid of? Yes, he was stunningly incompetent. You should be glad of it.

> I would have loved to read your comment if we had had an assault on the capitol from liberals because they lost the election.

We just sat though four years of lies about Russian collusion, piss dossiers, allegations of election tampering, and BLM. It's basically the same thing. The problem is that you don't understand that the people who were protesting on 1/6 are actually much closer to being your allies than you realize, because you have been blinded by partisan politics.

As a Canadian, this is all much easier to see from north of the border. Democrats huff Democrat propaganda, Republicans huff Republican propaganda, and then working class people on both sides somehow arrive at the conclusion that their peers are their enemy.

Your country is broken and NPCs parroting rhetoric like yours is a key component of why this is so.
Somewhat related, I had a couple of their members use speedtest [1] to get the bufferbloat score and each of them received an "A". I think it will be interesting to see if that remains the case when many people are on the Starlink network.

I have a 2021 RAV4 Prime PHEV. It's fantastic - consistently gets over the 42mi of expected range, build quality is excellent, car is almost silent, etc, there are real buttons and screens (and a HUD!) in front of the driver. It also has a 1500w inverter/plug in the back so you can tailgate a microwave / refrigerator / TV :).

The two downsides are:

It's kind of rare (although getting better) & dealerships suck

The infotainment/driver assists, while decent (and including Android Auto!) feel mid-2010s.

I'm fine with this except I do wish the lane-keeping assist was better at staying engaged on the freeway.

What's usually missing from these conversations is that the moment clean energy becomes cheaper than fossils, bitcoin miners will instantly switch to it. So yeah it's bad right now, but the problem will likely resolve itself (unlike in many other industries where there is significantly higher friction in switching to clean energy).

> For these teams, choosing Node certainly wouldn't cost an innovation token, while deciding to build some service in Python, Ruby or PHP (if we take at face value that this is more "boring") may end up being more costly.

It absolutely does if it is only one team in the organization. If the entire organization is using PHP and, let's say, you acqui-hire a team based on NodeJS, unless they are doing something absolutely fundamentally different they should learn PHP and push code in your existing infrastructure. This way you have one way to deploy, one type of application server to support, one set of gotchas relevant to your domain, one set of QA tools etc. Building good products is about far more than just shipping the product, it's also about the cost of long term support. Because what you are doing is fundamentally automation, the less you have to manage the more benefit of the automation you are getting, the more you can forget about it and focus on shipping other things.

What you are describing is pretty much definitionally local optimization and is exactly what you shouldn't do in large engineering organizations.

“Close to true” is still false. The medical community isn’t doing itself any favours (with regards to their credibility) by espousing false “almost truths”. The fact is that vaccines are not (100%) safe (no medical procedure is) - it’s just that the tiny risk vs huge reward makes them worth it.

Brief summary for those in a hurry:

GHCQ and CSEC sniffed unencrypted analytics data in order to uniquely identify individuals. This capability was present at least 4 years ago. The analytics data included, among many others, Google's Admob, which remains unencrypted by default, states the article.

The slides show the same light-hearted treatment of people's privacy as in previous disclosures. Perhaps this could be explained by the agencies believing themselves to be 'good guys' targeting 'bad guys', but IMO it just reveals their naivety and/or culture of arrogance.
I want to point out that the system that HEMA teaches (all though done usually by teaching longsword first) is a multi-weapon + unarmed system. A given technique that you can do with a longsword can also be done with a pole-axe. A pole-axe us better suited for armored combat (Harnischfechten) and a sword is better suited for unarmored combat (Blossfechten).

Although its worth pointing out, there are Harnischfechten techniques for longsword commonly referred to as half-swording (and you almost NEVER see these in movies). Btw, the unarmed component is called Ringen.

P.S. There are two similar schools for HEMA, the German and Italian school, my terms used above are the German terms. Most of the difference is either style, terminology or quite subtle.

Ideas about ratios between note frequencies, overtones of different notes co-inciding, and how those overtones affect the cilia in the inner ear and hence our perception of sound could perhaps be called a theory proper. e.g. Octaves are fairly universal in world music, so there might be a physiological basis for that.

Having been exposed to more sane systems I can't begin to think how the Indian system can improve.

- Bad reckless drivers who don't know any better.

- Bad road design. Gurgaon has an expressway running through the city, whose exits and entrance were designed by a madman.

- Unsafe vehicles. Seltos sold in India has a 2 star child safety rating. Same car in Australia is a 5 star.

- Culture of fatalism. "My life is not in my hand, but in God's hand".
While I really enjoy Hey, I think a $99 per year price tag is insane. You‘ll likely use your email for tens of years to come, so that‘s multiple thousands of dollars for a software that doesn‘t need to change. Running a mailserver isn‘t expensive, either. It could as well be an email client with a one-time payment, in my opinion. Would I pay $99 once and use it with my existing providers? Sure! Would I pay yearly and switch all my emails so that I am basically trapped inside a subscription? No...
Second Chomsky so hard. He's so right, in all the painful ways that people don't want to hear because it questions their cherished bedrock beliefs.
Before remote working becomes a trend recently, location-based pay is just a result of price being determined by supply and demand, plus the fact that location is a major constraint for both job seeking and recruiting. For anyone believes their work has intrinsic value, if you try to calculate this value into a number (salary), ultimately you need to use some kind of market reference (Like, I am able to get an offer of $xxxx from another company). This market reference is heavily based on location if remote work isn't a viable option to you.

Now, why do companies still stick to location-based pay when many other companies are embracing remote work? I think that's just cultural inertia and eventually software engineers will be paid without taking their location into account. But that's not a good thing for everyone, because the salary at that point will probably be much lower than what people get paid in SF area today.
