Interesting. But then it wouldn't really be compilation, but parsing + serialization. I guess the distinction is rather pointless.

External boot enables me to carry encryption key on it secretly so that I don't need to enter it manually. With on-machine unencrypted boot, you cannot do like that, because it's pointless. Anyway, another important issue is Evil Maid Attack. To recap, if you leave your device alone for a moment, an adversary may edit your bootpath (BIOS/EFI, or just your boot partition) to insert keylogger. Then, as long as you enter your key once, the game is over.
BIOS/EFI hacking is not possible if you have trusted stuff setup properly. Hacking an unencrypted boot partition is just piece of cake.

I believe Linux or BSD can do whatever you want, just be careful with what you want.

To be fair it doesn't prevent an ELE at all, it just means that one would destroy 99.9%+ of the human species instead of 100%.

Shotgunning even a few tens of thousands of people in all directions would not meaningfully change the end result of an ELE on Earth unless you wound up with 100-200 of them on the same hospitable rock.[0]

No worries -- your question was totally reasonable (and an in fact, a perfectly good question).
I think it is about equally useful.

It shows something slightly different than a github profile since it doesn't typically show full projects but both can show off competence pretty well IMO.

Someone with a well written technical blog or good github portfolio is definitely going to have an advantage in any hiring I do.
It's also easy to see all the issues in hindsight. Perhaps at the time they thought there's a market for less-healthy-but-cheaper food, and perhaps they were right and messed up the execution...
Considering German labor laws, that sounds like it should be extremely illegal.
DonHopkins pointed out that wasm will eventually support serialization of arbitrary js. So you wouldn't need to include the js runtime at all, but still get a much quicker download and parsing.

All I argued for was "common sense" gun laws. If guns were handled correctly (by law) this article or discussion wouldn't exist - gun advocacy would look good. Under the same conditions gun control advocates would have a shorter leap up to strict legislation. This is not a net step forward or back for either side.

Gun advocates see it as a step toward limitations of their freedom. Control advocates see it as not a large enough step. This is depressing because people are at risk around idiots every day. Everyone is fixated on the end-goal, instead of saving lives - which is why both sides are having this argument in the first place.
If this were an actual police state, the police would not be arguing their position in court, and if they did, the courts would never disagree with them, or charge them with crimes. Police corruption alone isn't evidence of a police state.

There are people who think that because they were able to "monetize" content, they have a right to do so indefinitely. That may not be the case. If ad blocking makes the entire third party ad industry go away, that's a win.

(Thought for the day: the main use case for WebAssembly will be to lock down content tighter and break ad blockers. That was the main application for Flash in its later years. Flash died because abusive Flash became more prevalent than useful Flash, and everybody started blocking it. WebAssembly may be headed in that direction.)

>Lastly, what I'm hoping for is the "Airbnb" of food, where regular people could cook meals and sell them to neighbors on a marketplace with reviews, pictures, etc.

I really don't want to buy food from random strangers that are not regularly being inspected for the cleanliness of their operations. A dirty room or a car is an inconvenience. A meal prepared in an unsanitary way could potentially kill you.
Once wasm supports some access to the gc (on the roadmap), It should be feasible. You wouldn't reimplement the entire runtime, but reuse functionality (like the gc) from the js runtime.
One aspect that I miss in these conversations is that of energy use. Brain sure is a energy hungry organ in our body but it still quite small compared to say IBM's Watson. In this particular case I agree with Chomsky. Watson is as impressive as a huge steam roller. I am positively impressed by Watson, but I want to be impressed on different axes as well.

I am curious if a program running on a energy limited device would be able to beat a high ranked chess grandmaster in a standard competition setting (by that I mean the same rules about time etc). My hunch is that the answer is still a resounding no.
"I have no problem following regulations and paying for licenses. The problem is getting blind-sided by it. I still don't even understand if I need a RoHS certification to ship in my home state of California. Is there any resource you found helpful ? Thanks in advance."

At least in my own work this has been something that pops up time & time again. Not only are there regulations that are tricky to nail down, there are things like intellectual property that you may not even be aware you're using. Build a blinking LED to detect activity on a data line? Wouldn't be surprised to receive a letter from a law firm. And unfortunately I don't know of any great ways to avoid the nasty surprise of receiving patent-backed threats. Personally I think this is why the big companies bulk up on patents, so that they can at least promise Mutually Assured Destruction against each other. For smaller companies & people selling products, you're probably infringing on some patent that they own without even realizing it.
What is Your thought on shiping prototype stage products to early backer as a way of getting user feedback. Even if product is not yet certified, with the promise that you will ship them the finished product?

This way you are not selling the product you shipped them, so I'm not sure what are regulations regarding this strategy. The product would be clearly labeled as prototype version and not fit for end use.

Bonus points for complexity: The product is intended for children age 6+.

preprints are free but when they are added to an issue of a journal, that issue might not be free. so journal X agrees to free preprints (rough drafts) and then charges for the actual issue. if the library drops subscription to the journal, maybe the journal/society/publisher pulls the library's permission to use the preprints.

Also : if you want to ensure humanity's long term survival, spending hundreds of billions to go live on a desert, rusty planet with an oxygen-less, tenuous atmosphere is a weird idea. If you're afraid of asteroids, build a shelter and store food.

Seems to me, Neighbors would be less likely to have an inspected kitchen. I'd much rather get food from a kitchen 'vetted by SpoonRocket or some organization. In fact in my state, its illegal to sell food out of your kitchen. Unless it passes inspection, which no home kitchen could (e.g. need 7 sinks minimum and so on).

Thanks for that, I had no idea! It sounds like I've been using S4OS with Linux. Do you know what the difference is between S4BIOS and Intel Rapid Start? They sound very similar to me. I'm wondering how the BIOS identifies, when it powers on, that it should resume and where it should read the contents of RAM from.
I believe that it is indeed a new precident about compulsion. If say, I want to make airplane parts I need to satisfy regulatory requirements. I know those requirements in advance, and can decide if I want to be a parts manufacturer or not. Lets say I instead decide to make drone parts for hobbyists because there's less regulation. Should the government be able to compel me to obtain an AS9100 cert so that they can bolt some of my hobby parts on a DHS operated drone? I would call that slavery. The FBI is attempting to compel Apple to do work that they never anticipated in order to comply with laws that do not yet exist.

> I'm assuming the objective is to minimise the service's unnecessary knowledge of non-service-user contacts.

Right, so an honest-but-curious adversary model sounds like it's a good fit for the server. Then all these attacks where the server lies about something are out of scope.

Again, I like this idea so I think it's worth thinking about it some more. Not trying to nitpick here, just trying to help think through what you can do.

What about the clients? Do you want to limit what they can learn?

Given any telno, a client can quickly tell whether that telno belongs to the service, even if the client doesn't really have that number in its contacts. Does that matter? I guess we come to a sort of meta-point here. What does it mean for a number to be in someone's address book? Anything? A fundamental part of the problem seems to stem from trying to make this work with identifiers that come from a (cryptographically speaking) very small space.

Extending the attack above, really the client can get a pretty decent approximation of the entire list of telnos in the service. If he checks all 10 billion telnos against the BF for L0, he gets a list that includes all subscribers and several false positives -- each number in the list is only 90% likely to be a subscriber. If he wants to refine his estimate for the likelihood that any given number is a subscriber, he retrieves the corresponding BF for L1. So he starts with a decent estimate of the subscriber list, and with each BF that he downloads, is estimate improves. How bad is that? I'm really not sure...

Professional team builds the MVP for your Startup
Removing malware has always been hard, it's always persevere or reformat. I always favored reformatting since historically that came with some performance perks too but sometimes I used to get lucky and there would be a program that cleaned it up by Symantec.

These days I use Ghostery + uBlock Origin to shut down two popular vectors for malware to reach you. It pays to be diligent about what/where you download stuff too. I also leave on OS X's security setting that prevents unsigned apps from running until you've clicked around a bit.
Well, i think, at that time, they thought the answer was: 'no'
By the time we have generative neural networks capable of replicating human voice with emotion and nuance (way more difficult than neutrally reading a text on Wikipedia), I think it's fair to assume we'll also have decent "thought vector" networks that – much like how neural networks can turn words or even sentences into vectors and back (translation) – can turn the meaning a character wants to convey into multiple sentences arranged in unique ways. Basically taking your example a bit further.

I use a System76 Gazelle which I bought a year ago. Upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10.

Yesterday I had to connect to a new Canon scanner. The standard Ubuntu SANE package did not have the driver, but the Ubuntu PPA package did, and it worked without a hitch off the PPA.

I have been very happy with it for my purposes. I should probably increase the space bar sensitivity. Also, the 15.10 upgrade went well, except Firefox became more crash-prone so it took a little fiddling to fix that.

I have been happy with the battery life as well, it is much better than their models from years before.

> assuming the existence of a "superintelligent AI" without addressing how a goal-optimizing machine becomes a superintelligent AI

I'm just talking about the fallout if one did exist, saw ways to achieve goals that you didn't foresee, and did exactly what you asked it to do. I have no idea how the progression from better-than-humans-in-specific-cases to significantly-better-than-humans-at-planning-and-executing-in-the-real-world will play out. It's not relevant to what I'm claiming.

> why wouldn't it be just as dedicated to any other order?

It would be just as dedicated to those other orders. The problem is that we don't know how to write the right ones. "Don't throw me into that incinerator" is straightforward, but there's a billion ways for the AI to do horrible things. (A super-optimizer does horrible things by default because maximizing a function usually involves pushing variables to extreme values.) Listing all the ways to be horrible is hopeless. You need to communicate the general concept of not creating a dystopia. Which is safely-wishing-on-monkey's-paw hard.

From my understanding of publishing, most of the cost is in creation, editing, design, and marketing...not in actually printing it.

It's common to assume that electronic versions of paper media should be cheap (if not free) but that's very mistaken.
99.9% loss is infinitely better than the current expected loss rate. The most effective technique for lowering the total loss likelihood is to have as many independent populations large enough to self-propagate indefinitely as possible.
