The good news is that at scale, the days of compute, storage, and data management becoming easy to use utilities to plug into are here, or near. The bad news is it still feels a bit too 'big' to plug small lamps into the main AWS or Cloud Platform grids, but I suspect those days are numbered as well.

2.4 The Start Out As Friends Protocol
The Start Out As Friends Protocol (SOAP), as presented by
[9], is summarized in Figure 1. In this protocol, Alice and
Bob participate in many exchanges over a long period, transferring
pieces of information that provide only incremental
evidence of their responses. Over time, each party can become
more and more confident in the other’s answer, until
the probability of a mismatch is low enough that a JMAP
exchange becomes feasible.
Unfortunately, the runtime of this protocol may be inordinately
long in some cases, and deriving evidence from the individual
transmissions can be difficult. There are also highly
complex failure modes when dealing with a malicious adversary,
as Munroe illustrates in his paper.

>Let's say person X has lots of bitcoins (potentially mined from the early days, when it was very easy to obtain). They go and sell it for $30,000, in cash. Let's assume X has the intention to declare the gains in their upcoming tax returns.

it's not what's happening here. i haven't seen where that was implied either.

>it seems that in this case they were trying to entice the guy with stolen credit cards. As that didn't work, they tried switching to money laundering.

no, they didn't entice him stolen credit cards, they, undercover, purported the sale of bitcoins/cash to him for the purpose of laundering the proceeds of the crime ( stolen credit card). Therefore, if he engaged in that sale knowingly, he willingly engaged in the laundering of proceeds of crime, i.e: money laundering. What they were weak or unable to demonstrate substantially was that his transactions thus far before the sting, were largely derived in the operations of aiding and abetting the laundering of the proceeds of crime.
> by creating a God-like super-architect.

Interesting point of view, never thought along these lines. On the other hand, thinking a bit about it - I don't feel that this approach requires a super-architect; what it requires is a DECENT architect (which is a prerequisite for any successful project anyway).

In other words - sure, architect should be one of the best coders - but if he isn't, the project is doomed anyway (and having "the best of the bunch" is always possible - by definition).

No one looks at those. I always scribble, never doing my actual signature. Hell on those digital pads, I literally just draw a horizontal line. Never had a single problem.
> Each of these system calls incurs a context switch

System calls are not context switches. I wish people would distinguish between them. A system call is just a change of privilege level and is efficient --- there's no cache invalidation required on almost any system.

A context switch, on the other hand, involves a call to the scheduler, saving and restoring of much more CPU register state, and various kinds of cache invalidation. (It's even more expensive if you're switching between different processes instead of different threads in the same process.)

The kernel may perform a context switch while executing a system call --- this context switch is what makes blocking calls blocking. But even IO system calls do not necessarily cause context switches, especially in the case where an operation can be satisfied by accessing only the page cache.

tl;dr A system call is not necessarily a context switch
In this case, EMV = EMV is the better comparison.
When I first got an iPhone with Apple Pay, I felt ridiculous pulling it out to buy groceries. It felt gimmicky, like I was showing off. That changed when my grocery store started requiring chipped cards to use the chip. AP easily shaves 20-30 seconds off the transaction. I can pay while items are still being scanned, I don't have to remember to remove the card, and the auth process is just faster. Works well enough for me that it's now my primary payment method when it's accepted.
This makes sense; furniture is big, heavy, and difficult to transport. Outsourcing is easiest with small, pricey items that can be safely packaged in rectangular boxes. Like phones.

Furniture, cars, houses etc. are cheapest when produced semi-locally, which is why even Japanese and Korean car manufacturers have assembly plants in the US and in Europe.

That depends on the implementation of the queue. Most queues have a "failed/retry" concept, where they mark failed jobs to be retried in some set future point in time. So one failed job does not hold up your entire queue processing.

edit: this is all wrong:

The Australian banks make a lot of money off interchange fees. Apple wants a cut of the interchange fee to get access to Apple Pay (which is what ANZ did recently). This has slowed the Apple Pay rollout, but not because banks don't want to share the fee.

By all accounts, the banks do want to be on Apple Pay, but each bank wants to give Apple the same cut as its competitors do (or at least, not a higher cut). And that's a problem because if they collectively negotiate the same amount, they could be accused of anti-competitive behaviour. They've recently gone to the competition regulator to get permission to negotiate with Apple as a bloc.[1]

Not necessarily, and that's the whole point. Initial development (as noted in the article) is one of the exceptions - but "sketching a thing that will be improved" (which I agree with) is VERY different from "working day in and day out on improving it" (which I do NOT like). And this difference is the whole point of the article.

I'm curious what happened to paper number 6
I've run into two setups here in Oregon that require you to swipe first (inserting wont start the process at all), then it tells you to insert, then waits for ever, then pin, then another long wait, then approved. No idea how they managed to screw it up that badly. I've used it elsewhere and it was really fast.

Whats worse is some stores have it where you can insert, but when you do it says "swipe card". Like it detects you inserted but refuses to run it that way. I really just don't get it.

I think the main reason I started using Apple Pay in my regular shopping is because paying with chip takes so long to process. Sometimes it can take 20-30 seconds for the chip transaction to complete at the grocery store, while Apple Pay takes 5 seconds or less.

Speaking of uncountability, here's a similar one for why the set of functions N->{0,1} is not countable. If f:(N->{0,1})->N were a bijection, let g(t)=1-f^(-1)(t)(t), and compute g(f(g)).

Anyway, whether something counts as a proof is a matter of whether you (logically) accept it as irrefutable evidence. As with any genre, you have to consider your audience. I hear gauge theorists are content to have as a proof a couple of references to a couple papers which have techniques which apply, with minor alteration, to the current problem.

Can't upvote this enough. The new "insert card" bullshit is a perfect example of a small group of powerful companies having a monopoly and being completely out of touch with the wants of their users. We took an obsolete magnetic media that worked fast and efficient and somehow made the user experience much worse. Top that off with the fact that fraud protection is much better on credit card purchases thanks to automated data analysis and we end up with an inferior product that didn't really need to be upgraded in the first place. I bet this credit card insertion issue is going to become a case study for business students everywhere in a couple of years.

You are pretty much totally wrong. Australian banks make much less from interchange fees than their US counterparts. Apple wanted the same fee in Australia as it collects in the US. With interchange fees being smaller in Australia this cut represented a much bigger portion of the total fee. The banks here have also already invested a lot of money and effort in driving contactless payments by issuing all cards with the technology for at least the last few years plus providing the payment terminals. They therefore think Apple is providing less value than in the USA and should thus be entitled to a smaller cut when an Apple Pay transaction happens.

When they banks applied to the competition regulator for permission to collectively bargain with Apple they specifically undertook to negotiate about fees individually. What the banks want to collectively negotiate is access to the NFC hardware on Apple devices so they can provide their own digital wallets and bypass Apple Pay.
China's growth sucks in more debt bucks for less bang
I find it's useful to stick to cash as a budgeting measure. It's too simple to lose track of how much you're spending when the amounts are effectively invisible. I'll make a cash withdrawal and then try to make it last without contactless payments.
Geez, this is rather sexist towards men:

'If you have never thought to yourself “gee, there certainly are a lot of men speaking right now,” then you are probably a man who is speaking right now, and you should maybe consider letting a woman speak.'

"Full-stack" was never a reference to the OSI model.

You can spend your whole career deep in the layer 7 weeds nowadays. A legit "full-stack" technologist will dive into layers 6 and 5 occasionally.

Below that you're talking about TCP/IP, BGP, Ethernet, and fiber. The beauty of the model is that each layer doesn't have to care about the implementation details of other layers, and that's reflected in hiring as well.

Nomenclature aside, some of us really do span layers 1-7. But layer 1 is pretty boring, and there's not a lot of value to add in layers 2-4 honestly, except in extraordinarily demanding environments.

Even the people who think they work at layers 3 and 4 are usually just using layer 7 tools to manipulate configurations for layers 3 and 4.

Many of the strains they sell aren't healthy. If you enter a condition or disease like 'lung cancer' or 'paralysis' in https://www.jax.org/mouse-search, you'll find they sell a mouse that's susceptible to a form of it.

"Homozygous Snap25 knock-out mice exhibit neonatal lethality. Late embryos lack spontaneous movement or sensorimotor reflexes, and abnormal innervation and muscle fiber development is observed."

Breeding mice that die at birth is an unsolved problem I'm sure they are thinking of, so they sell the heterozygous variant (carriers of the gene)

Maybe in America. In the rest of the world, we have had chipped cards for years (Canada, Europe) and people don't have a problem using them.

At least in England, same for contactless payments with cards issued by the banks.
