I know a C corp is the bay area standard, but at least in the midwest many startups still begin as LLCs for simplicity. I hope the Atlas team considers this for future work.

There is no reason when it comes to worshiping imaginary beings or hero worshiping people like Jesus Christ. That's not the home of reason, and no my "rant" was not an unfounded straw-man attack on religion. My "rant" was a pretty well founded "rant" on the basis of God or other founding myths used to try to control people with real power.

The official WordPress AMP plugin doesn't currently offer much. It seems to be a simple install-and-go plugin with very little configurations.

There are some developers working on a few other plugins. I found this PageFrog plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/pagefrog/ which AMPs your page but includes a bunch of other stuff.

Particularly PageFrog comes bundled with Facebook Instant Articles support along with configurations for ads and analytics, which seems to be missing from the official WP plugin.

I don't know about that. I saw a picture of a tattooed wrist. I'm not claiming that I'm Mr. Color-Blind Progressive 2016, but that photo didn't lodge a note in my mind that said "the author is black". I saw a photo of a wrist and didn't think twice about it.

That was kind of my original point, the implication that a black person posting a photo of themselves is signaling "I am black" in a way that a white person is never seen to be signaling "I am white".

You're cutting out the most important parts:

> The Court agrees with the government that applicable Ninth Circuit authority precludes the defendant’s success on his motion. SEI’s identification of the defendant’s IP address because of his use of the Tor network did not constitute a search subject to Fourth Amendment scrutiny. The Court reaches this conclusion primarily upon reliance on United States v. Forrester, 512 F.2d 500 (9th Cir. 2007). In Forrester, the court clearly enunciated that: “Internet users have no expectation of privacy in ...the IP address of the websites they visit because they should know that this information is provided to and used by Internet service providers for the specific purpose of directing the routing of information.” Id. at 510.

> In the instant case, it is the Court’s understanding that in order for a prospective user to use the Tor network they must disclose information, including their IP addresses, to unknown individuals running Tor nodes, so that their communications can be directed toward their destinations. Under such a system, an individual would necessarily be disclosing his identifying information to complete strangers. Again, according to the parties’ submissions, such a submission is made despite the understanding communicated by the Tor Project that the Tor network has vulnerabilities and that users might not remain anonymous. Under these circumstances Tor users clearly lack a reasonable expectation of privacy in their IP addresses while using the Tor network. In other words, they are taking a significant gamble on any real expectation of privacy under these circumstances.

> [...]

> The evidence before this Court indicates that SEI obtained the defendant’s IP address while he was using the Tor network and SEI was operating nodes on that network, and not by any access to his computer.

SEI got the IP addresses because the Defendant's computer communicated that information to SEI.

You can imagine that the briefing went something like this:

Government: there is no expectation of privacy because connecting to Tor involves giving out your IP address to random people on the Internet.

Defendant: but the purpose of Tor is to hide your IP address from anyone that might matter.

Government: well obviously that didn't work because we figured out his IP address.

The point of vulnerabilities isn't the basis for the Court's opinion--it's just a rebuttal to the idea that Tor is supposed to keep your IP address secret even though it necessarily involves giving it to at least some untrusted nodes.

Yeah, actually that is true. Enigma worths mentioning as one of MPC references.

Looks like Enigma would have challenges in many practical environments (mainly because it involves a lot of small interactions between nodes, so should be affected by latency). So, it's more like a way to build "Etherium of private computations".

But, as you pointed out, it can have good clues how to solve the problem of active adversaries!

I'm not a fan of the third party doctrine, which IMO badly needs to be updated. To me, it seems like a runaround/copout.

So much of our data today is held in the cloud that it amounts to open season for data acquisition. And for data that isn't, what's there to stop a governmental agency from using the All Writs Act to compel data movement/redirection to a third party site?

Just because something is technically legal today, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

This sounds about right as the US would have hit market maturity much earlier in the tech cycle.

With the math on transducer costs, you've basically answered the question. However, aliexpress will get you 2MHz transducers 10x cheaper if you buy them in bulk. Then of course you have to worry about dodgy chinese website component quality.

I also think you're seriously underestimating the computational cost of converting the measured signal to a usable image. No way is an RPi fast enough to produce a live image with decent quality. There are quite a few papers in the literature about using high-end GPUs to speed up ultrasound imaging and denoising, for commercial vendors I'm guessing it's custom ASIC territory.

For argument's sake, say we have 1000 (high estimate) active cargo airships in the world. To further simplify the problem, let's assume they all have the same volume as the Dragon Dream (17,000m^3)[1]. So 1000 airships would take up 17,000,000m^3 of gas - less than 10% of current global consumption of helium (180,000,000m^3 pa [2].

Yes, this is grossly oversimplified (e.g. how often do airships need to replenish their lifting gas?) and yes we should be concerned about a major growth industry dependent on a scarce resource. On the other hand, is this a price worth paying considering the possible benefits to society it could bring via delivery of goods/aid to hard to reach areas and a reduction in fuel intensive cargo planes?

When I was a kid and learning basic manners, there were certain things taught that separated good from bad.

And you know, advertising methods are starting to look a lot like pure rudeness to me.

It wouldn’t be socially acceptable to walk up to somebody sitting on a park bench and just start randomly bothering them. It wouldn’t be socially acceptable to just start dumping signs all over someone’s front porch and gluing them to the windows of the house. Why, then, aren’t companies downright ashamed (and publicly shamed) when they create a product that feels the need to periodically pop messages in front of the user’s face that are by definition completely unnecessary to the function of the product?

Build a product; make it nice; make it functional; and make it show things to the user only when necessary. Anything else is mere distraction, and frankly taints the product’s perceived value.

We are spiraling down into a cesspool of “free” products that tax users with a thousand needles every day.

We used to know how to pay $40 for software, or even $10, and demand better. We need to return to that.
I agree. I was using that in 2000 to debug C++ code and it was very good.

The cost of components is often not a big part of the cost of producing an imaging device like this. Building hardware and software in a regulated market where human safety is involved requires levels of validation, verification, process control, risk analysis and documentation that can easily dwarf component cost at the sort of run sizes we are taking about.

This isn't the only thing going on, but it is naive at best to think of the price of these units as a parts list.

Hi, Joah Spearman here. I wrote the piece. This was a personal account, my account, on both my own journey to entrepreneurship, to Austin and to fundraising. I tried to touch on location, race, the business, raising money and a few other things that would help convey the position I'm in. Some people are downplaying the role of race or geography and I'm almost certain they're probably not Black founders or in Austin. My goal with the post was simply to give a personal, open and honest take on my experience here. You wouldn't find me commenting about the scene in NYC or LA from a local's perspective because I'm not a local there nor would you see me doing a lengthy Medium post about how gender isn't really an issue for women trying to raise VC funds.

> And you cannot initiate a meaningful query if you are a server-side observer.

But that's only true if you consider the database in isolation. It's a very bad assumption to make when using it as a component of a larger system!

Let's say you build a social networking service which uses ZeroDB to store its data; I'm an attacker who has access to the database server. There are all kinds of ways I can gain indirect control over the requests that users make to the service. What if I convince two different users to open a web page containing something like "<img src='https://supersecuresocialnetwork.com/friend-list.jsp'>"? I've just triggered an operation that will cause the app servers to request tree nodes corresponding to those users' accounts, and those of their friends, at predictable times. I can correlate the requests and determine with some level of confidence whether the users are mutual friends, all without being able to see a single byte of plaintext. If the service is publicly available and I can register my own accounts, that opens up another huge category of attacks.

My point is that you're making an awful lot of assumptions about what strategy an attacker will use. If you don't have provable security against an entire class of attacks (e.g. cryptographic properties like IND-CPA) then the burden is on you to be more imaginative than whoever is trying to compromise your system.

You need to understand that once you commit a crime, you lose many rights you previously had (e.g. to vote). Not to mention that once you're dead (as in the San Bernardino case), you arguably lose all of your rights.

Third Party doctrine isn't a runabout. It's inherent in the text of the 4th amendment:

Information I have about you is not your information, and you can't invoke the 4th amendment to protect it. Data held in the cloud is different. At least arguably, you have a property right to that data even if a cloud provider is holding it for you. You can't say that about IP addresses, IP address logs, call data records, etc. That's the company's data about you. You have no property interest in it, and mostly you don't even have access to it.

LinkedIn is a great example of how your platform can be useful to people in spite of a horrible UI, bad infrastructure, and grossly inconsistent user experience.

The endorsements are begging to be rigged, and the website is absolutely dismal in terms of social functionality - it pales in comparison to almost every other social media platform.

That all being said, I maintain an active linkedin profile and I use it regularly.
