Funny thing about that - I suspect doing either of those would be 10x harder than terraforming Mars. Why? Because there are no Martians to complain about the ecological havoc your changes are making, or to complain that you are depriving them of their livelihood, or possibly destroying culturally significant land forms. I can only imagine the ecological impact reporting that would have to be done in Australia, and I imagine the countries that own the Sahara have their own equivalent.
Maybe if there was some awful Windows virus that nuked boards with bad implementations they would fix their crap.

The "egalitarianism of sexes and races" is based on bible. West didn't agree on many single issues, but for couple millenia west agreed on bible as moral authority.

In the future if there is something that deviates west from those values, there is nothing to turn us back. For a long time there was bible and "god created all men as his image". But we don't care about that shit anymore. We only care about money.

Nazi Germany could not happen before 1930 because people were too religious. It was pushed back by outside forces, still clinging on religious moral framework. When memory of concentration camps fades eventually, there is no such thing left.

The only current challenger for moral framework for the atheist is utilitarianism. Which happens to he hopelessly inapplicable to real life. So we can't really rely on any "western values" endlessly. Which could be good or bad thing.

The problem is that this doesn't fundamentally change prison, it just takes the two metrics of cost and violence, and analyzes ways to minimise them (by reducing to a minimalist food system and isolating sources of violence from eachother).

The comments being overwhelmingly negative are due to two reasons: 1. it's a solution that doesn't fix the main problems in the prison system, and 2. it's at the top of the freaking front page, indicating a lot of people are taking it seriously.

People laugh at idiotic ideas that nobody take seriously. People take out their pitchforks at idiotic ideas that everyone take seriously, because it's a serious danger to them and everyone else.
I suspect that making something that meets those guidelines would produce better feedback since it would be on execution over an idea.

Good luck.

I work at a company where the logo is the founder's last name, in Arial Black, the aspect ratio slightly squished because the original designer was an ME with no software experience to know how to preserve aspect ratio.

I think the series "No Game No Life" covered this best -

"There’s no way to know the rules or the goal, yet there are 7 billion people making whatever moves they want. If you lose too much, or win too much, there are penalties. You can’t pass your turn, and if you talk too much, you’ll be ostracized. There are no parameters and no way to even know the genre. This world is just a crappy game."

I would imagine the most important thing from a distro is the support from the downstream vendor (i.e: canonical or red hat) that comes with it. Downloading and compiling from source to a minimal distro (like what alpine does it seems) is nice and all but would be limited for toys/dev deployments and not sure how i would get my CTO convinced to use those images instead of officially supported one from a reputed vendor cause the benefits are a few mbs (and freeness obv) gains

One of the reasons why programmers and computer scientists love their job so much, relative to many other fields is that CS was not part of the school curriculum.

I hope CS and programming is integrated into science and Math. I bet most students would love to solve real-world science problems instead of solving abstract puzzles. I wish I had exercises like:

1. Write a program to predict the trajectory of a free throw.

2. Collect Fitbit-like data from every student, find interesting correlations and perform qualitative analysis too.

3. Perform basic image processing tasks using matrix multiplications.

Instead of:

1. Integrate sqrt(tan(x)) [IIT 94] (Yeah, Indian text books highlight questions from previous years' exams).

2. Memorize a bunch of chemical equations without understanding how they work.

3. Find the determinant of this ridiculous matrix using an arcane trick.
That's not really accurate. There are many stakeholders in bitcoin that are part of the ecosystem and all can determine its future. Mining is one part of the equation, there are nodes that validate transactions, there are exchanges that give bitcoins value by providing on-ramps to other currencies, there are merchants who accept bitcoin for goods/services, there are core developers, and finally the end users, investors and hodlers. If miners decide to damage the network through collusion, then it's unlikely the other actors will allow this for long without altering the code to mitigate the threat. What good are these ill-gotten coins if exchanges will not give them dollars for it, or users have no demand for them? Contingency plans have already been developed for this scenario and, so far, they've not been needed because the miners are as invested in the long term success in bitcoin as anyone else.

>How?

It's unlikely that one would be corrupt against ones squad members. So as squad member, you only have to worry about corruption of outside shit. People who affect you and are not member of same in-group are the problem from any individuals point of view.

>How would that approach stifle it?

Most people are good by nature. The only instance I've stolen from work was a situation where it was expected that I might steal from work. So I kind of showed to them that I'm more cunning than they are careful. A challenge. Another point comes from self image, if everybody sees you as corrupt asshole, you see yourself as corrupt asshole. So you might as well act on it.

In general people have strong tendency to act as is expected of them. Stronger than the tendency to act as they are told.
Yes, but to be the first person to climb a mountain takes tens of thousands of dollars of gear, extensive research, and lots of experience.

Smart dreamers don't exit high school with that dream, make a hundred bucks at the drive-thru, and buy some rope and a few carabiners at the hardware store, see how high they can get that weekend, and repeat for decades. They re-invest their $100 until they can buy or commission the gear they need, gather experience on other mountains, and spend time learning about their target until they can make the climb.
There are a lot of Non Profits who are doing amazing work but are often faced with lack of funds. There are also a lot of people who did like to help but refrain from doing so for lack of motivation, empathy or trust on the organizations. Sometimes people feel a sudden urgency of doing good but because its not as quick as calling an uber, they end up not doing it. That lost dollar could have fed a kid somewhere.

I believe human race can be uplifted with numerous enablers and doers on the ground. But there needs to be work/research done on the best framework to make the whole process as seamless and rewarding as possible.

Companies like google have attempted this with OneToday App. More companies and startups should come together on this problem including YC.

Yep. Emacs builds and runs (and presumably unexecs) on many non-glibc platforms. This is more likely an optimization for it on glibc.

"According to Paul Eggert, making unexec more portable has been on the to-do list for a while, "and this will light more of a fire under it". Concerns that Emacs might not build using a new Glibc API (which has not even been written yet) that came up earlier in the thread are not a problem, he said. "Emacs should still build and run even if the glibc API is changed, as Emacs ./configure probes for the glibc malloc-related API and falls back on its own malloc implementation otherwise.""

And there's the dreaded autoconf doing it's job.

This is definitely a step in the right direction. It's bugged me that vendors are leveraging a commercial and proprietary system to secure sites. If we are going to move forward with this as the baseline of security for public facing sites then it's good to see a free and transparent solution pop up to help lower costs for students and the developing world.
Inventions would count as Schnapsideen too, so most Chindogus could probably be called a Schnapsidee ;)

The idea is to go see your doctor when you have symptoms. If you go see your doctor every time some parameter is out of what you consider to be your personal error bands you'd be spending all day in the doctors office. Tests are useful to rule out things you don't have and to close in on the things that you do have once you have something that doesn't function well enough to notice. Until then it is a waste of resources to spend a ton of money and capacity on testing people without symptoms. Eventually those will clog up the system to the point where those that do need medical attention will end up without it.

My big problem at the end of the day is while we can help prevent users from killing their own boards - we still NEED to be holding these firmware vendors accountable.

Speaking from direct experience, both Square and PayPal are terrible for accepting cards.

Go for it. My $0.02: complex shading and frost damage as well as water getting into the system, overload from excess weight vehicles and so on seem to me to make the roads the very worst spot where you'd want to place a solar panel. Unless you place them on the sound barriers in Urban zones (and there you're going to have a reflection issue impacting safety).
This is asinine for all the reasons others have already stated.

That said, I do think roads are a prime place to combine with energy distribution infrastructure. On top of energy distribution, we don't need cars with batteries if they can instead function like slot cars getting their energy from the road surface below. This greatly reduces the weight of cars such that they are much cheaper to accelerate and decelerate and the stored kinetic energy is much lower making them much safer. Basically roads need a safe "automotive third rail". PG&E in California in partnership with the California DoT is the ideal company to pioneer this approach.

Energy distribution is actually a power company's biggest strategic asset and they should be focusing on this, especially in the face of a world where energy production is being massively distributed through such approaches as home solar.

Moving batteries around is great short term, but long term we really should be electrifying roads.

I've always found it better to emulate high-security engineers at defense contractors and IAD instead of listening to their hackers. The hackers are good for spotting problem areas. As in my other comment, the defense side in academia and high-assurance market has been effectively countering them for decades. People just don't apply what was learned.

On my end, being limited back then, I combined whatever proven method I could with obfuscation across the board. That by itself, per monitoring, stopped very sophisticated attacks that common approaches failed to. They'd have to hack it to even figure out how it worked and was configured. Then they could hack it normally. See how that doesn't work out for them? ;) The attacks would transition to physical infiltration (never happened I think...) or social engineering (mitigated many).

Examples for your amusement: (a) using obscure processors + OS's + network-layer guards while advertising they're x86 Linux boxes; (b) sandwiching a custom, randomly-generated, messaging protocol or middleware w/ security features between others; (c) my polymorphic ciphers w/ several AES candidates, random iteration, and random counter values; (d) real port-knocking like SILENTKNOCK variant that doesn't advertise itself; (e) hiding authentication or taint (for tracing) data in checksums at various layers; (f) straight ripping privileged code out of a system while using minimal, unusual libraries for stdlib etc; (g) tools like Softbound + CETS to automatically make stuff safe or languages that do by default.

Lots of tricks that require almost no work, don't negate the security of proven components, require almost no maintenance (outside OS stripping) once you deploy them, and stop or detect all kinds of attacks. Proven against nation-state attackers time and time again. Just wait till I integrate stuff from SecureCore, Air Force's HAVEN, SAFE, or CHERI processors plus my randomization/obfuscation shit at HW level. Need funding & specialists for that but I'm still doing high-level designs & research in case I ever get it. NSA already failed to breach weaker versions of that. TAO gonna scream when next-gen versions get rolled out into production. ;)
I still can't understand why several BSDs so stubbornly cling to ports as a "solution" to package management. I ran into this problem, and variants of it, over and over again when trying to support FreeBSD in our products, in the past. Though pkgng may resolve some of my problems with package management on FreeBSD (it at least allows third party repositories, the lack of which was a big pain point for me in the past), I haven't tried it yet, and from what I can tell FreeBSD still favors ports, and several other BSDs are still using ports exclusively.

I've even seen this library mismatch happen on a couple of occasions in a fresh install, where installing a variety of ports leads to one or some of them being broken immediately after install because several packages called for different versions of libraries. And, the longer a BSD system is in service, the more likely some portupgrade, or installation of a new package, is to break some other thing on the system, requiring far reaching rebuilds (and sometimes, manual intervention, because the dependencies specified aren't sufficient to allow the system to automatically fix itself).

I begin to feel like a broken record saying this again and again, but: ports is a clever tool, but it is not a solution to the problem of package management.

There's so much to love about the BSDs, but lack of effective package management has always made it a non-starter for any purpose, for me. Effective package management is not esoteric or bleeding edge or experimental stuff, at this point. deb-based systems had apt 20+ years ago, RPM based systems had yum ~12 years ago. Slapping a band aid on the darned thing doesn't fix it.

And, so many conversations about packages devolve into ports proponents missing the point, and saying, "Well, you can install binary versions of ports, so it's fine." When the availability of binary packages is utterly orthogonal to the problems I'm talking about (though also a big deal, and building from source on a production system is silly and potentially dangerous).

So, I think I need to stop complaining about it, and start asking the right questions of BSD users. Why is ports such a fiercely defended thing when it has so many weaknesses compared to modern package managers? Does pkgng actually solve these problems (I can't really tell, it seems to be a meta-package system that still sits atop ports)?
Not necessarily. Read Eric Raymond's description of cathedral-style development in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" and keep in mind that he had Emacs in mind. It wasn't until Linux that an open, public development process became closely associated with free software.
It's a familiar story that the innovators are not the ones to capitalize on an idea.

So, the trick is, wait for a new fragmented market to emerge. Once it gets enough tracktion swoop in and execute really well and become the market leader.

I mean, that's cool and all. But why build the road surface out of fragile panels? Why not just build a regular road and provide it cover with a roof made out of panels? Now drivers get to drive in the shade and it's probably less expensive.

Even cheaper, just put the panels up along side the road, perhaps on shoulders or other already owned rights of way.

Even cheaper, just give the money to everybody so they can put panels and batteries on their houses and businesses and over parking lots.
