A few points -

Devils advocate, travel back to the 1950s. The government searches your home and takes a letter or other document that is clearly written in code. Can/would they jail you as in the current case until you decode it? And without even charging you with any other crime first?

At what point is "I used a one time pad" or "I don'remember" sufficient? I'm sure all of us have at least once (probably many) times forgotten a password, even for something relatively important.

The 'lock' interpretation also fails. It is obfuscation, they have executed their search warrant and they possess the obfuscated data. Can they force you to translate your documents written in some obscure language because they can find nobody else willing to do so for them?

Re: Orin Kerr - his argument fails as the government can execute their own search warrant to take documents they believe you to have - they need not rely upon you to voluntarily provide them at their request.
He said it was a stretch :P
That looks suspicious. Unless you are coming home to your own country, looking suspicious is a good way to get denied entry.

Unless home servers were used, in which case you're already paying for the bandwidth for your home internet connection.

All you'd really want to add on top of that is a decentralised identity layer, for managing permissions across all repositories.
That's good!

I found this article describes the problem well: https://medium.com/the-publius-letters/segregated-witness-a-...

I'm not against segwit but I and many other have problems with segwit as a soft-fork. The push for a soft-fork segwit seems to be politically motivated.

> Can you explain why such an obvious refactor that is backward and forward compatible isn't a clear benefit?

If seen as a blocksize increase it isn't backwards compatible as old transactions will not get the benefit. It is also not transparent as all wallets needs to be updated to support the new transaction format. No such extra effort is needed for a blocksize increase.

It is in fact necessary to push for on-chain and off-chain scaling, nobody is against that. The position for "big blockers" has been the same for years: we need actual bigger blocks. See: https://medium.com/@johnblocke/the-importance-of-clear-defin...
I'm commenting to express interest in that citation, and will go looking for it myself if you don't find it.

If I had to bullshit a mechanism, I would say that, for well fed mice, activity increases with the amount of time since the last meal, so mice on the early dinner diet would be more active in the mornings before breakfast.

To test this, I would see if I could get the effect to go away by feeding mice as soon as they woke up, and then 10 or 14 hours later.
Ya I'm not knocking functional programming (I prefer it as well) but I find it frustrating that so much of it breaks from the conventions we are accustomed to in C-style languages. Others around me can’t easily grok what I’ve written. Functional logic is the solution to the problem being tackled, but currently it has to be generated by hand, often in a write-only style. We are effectively writing functional assembly.

Take Swift for example (neat handle by the way!), it's probably the most pedantic language I have ever used. Personally I don't believe that it can be written without compiler assistance, especially when dealing with real-world data like JSON where pretty much anything can be optional. It's a language that makes me feel like anything I try will be rejected outright. It gets us halfway to functional programming with "let" and passing variables as immutable to callbacks by default, but then breaks too far from the contextual assumptions that we've built up in languages like C and javascript to "just work" when we try things. I feel misgivings about Rust for precisely these same reasons.

At this point the only functional language I've found that's somewhat approachable from an imperative background is probably ClojureScript, which is basically just Scheme running in one-shot mode, switching to Javascript to get the next piece of data instead of forcing the developer to use monads. It’s not even close to how I would design a functional language, but it’s substantially more approachable than say, Haskell.

I’m to the point where I am thinking about rejecting all of this and programming in synchronous shell-scripting style in something like Go, to get most of the advantages of Erlang without the learning curve. If languages aren’t purely functional, then I don’t believe they offer strong enough guarantees for the pain of using them. And purely functional languages can’t offer the leverage that scripting can, because they currently can’t be transpiled from imperative ones. It’s trivial to convert from functional to imperative, but basically impossible to go the other direction. They do nothing for you regarding the difficult step (some may argue the only step) of translating human ideas to logic. I think that’s the real reason that they haven’t achieved mainstream adoption.

Are you comparing like for like? I'm a very frugal shopper who will go to both stores in a trip to save $1, and I've observed that the high-end organic products are very similar in price. Organic milk at Safeway is about the same price as organic milk at WF, but there are many cheaper non-organic options at Safeway. Grass fed hamburger or steak is about the same price, but there are also cheaper non-organic, non-grass fed options at Safeway.
I'd really like eight cores, didn't know that was going to be possible soon!
The major players already have enough low-band spectrum. Capacity issues will be solved by densification and securing mid-band spectrum for 4G and high-band spectrum for 5G deploys.

The smaller players were the ones primarily interested in this auction, allowing them to roll more coverage to rural areas with less towers.

Most of the spectrum has some build-out requirement, so no.. it wouldn't make much sense for a company to sink $20billion into it to prevent others from using it.

There's other ways to screw over owners of spectrum. Follow the history of the 700A spectrum in the US. AT&T owned most of the lower 700mhz licenses (B and C but not A: that was T-Mobile and other rural carriers). Someone got someone to issue a report saying 700A might interfere with channel 51 television broadcasters. AT&T and the vendors created a subset band called band 17 that was wholly incompatible. This essentially screwed over the other carriers and caused a multi-year delay in band 12 deployment in the US.

A better alternative is ttyrec + tty-player which doesn't depend on a third party service to host your data.
This is an interesting idea and a real problem.

Not sure how best to market it. Maybe "keep access within a couple" -- emphasize protection from outsiders, people who gain access to one of the couple's devices temporarily, etc.

Then, as an aside, make it so either party can irrevocably end access at any time.

Don't mention "break up" so prominently. "Pre-nup" has lots of bad connotations.

Would be cool if you could cover some other files, too (text, etc.). A way for people to collaborate on something and then delete drafts. Video and pictures are obviously a lot of it, though.

We should definitely be fearful of Trump. The only good thing that can come from this is that he will take full blame, but people will finally realize how corrupt we have become. I doubt that will happen though, because I'm sure the other half is brainwashed to think the Democrats can do no harm either.

"The only thing that really matters is whether you eat less."

Intermittent fasting != calorie restriction - you can eat the same amount. The benefits are from entering a fat burning/low insulin state that occurs by going > 12 hours without food.
The issue here, is that even as LO is firming up, the masses are moving to google docs and o365's online options... Which does reduce some barriers to switching, but introduces other development costs. MS is really good at making software, maybe not the best at UI/UX, but meeting needs in a relatively short period of time compared to competitors. o365 seems at first glance to be a bit better than google docs, and MS was pretty late to the party there.

Government can very rarely outpace private business in terms of getting things like this done.

Yes, I'm thinking of writing my own parser generator / meta-language for the Oil language. Now that I have experience with OSH/bash, I can see what I need to support.

On the one hand, I know how to write the parser by hand for Oil. Now that I've written the parser for OSH, it's not too much work, and not too much code. The thing that might push me over the edge is handling "broken" code like Microsoft's Roslyn, but I may put that off for v2 and just get the shell working.

The first half of my blog is kind of about how nothing off the shelf like ANTLR or yacc will work. I will have to write my own.

There are posts there about parsing in a single pass, undecidable parsing, four mutually recursive sublanguages, lexer modes/lexical state, using two tokens of lookahead vs. arbitrary lookahead, and Pratt parsing for experssions.

http://www.oilshell.org/blog/

Oil won't be as complicated as OSH/bash, but it at least needs lexer modes and Pratt parsing.

I actually thought about trying a bounty / crowdsourcing for a meta-language that can express Oil in the fewest lines of code (with no dependencies). My claim is that no existing meta-language can handle it.
Inherited ACLs take effect only at creation time inside that directory as far as I understand it; they are basically copied to the new child file/directory. You have to enable it explicitly for ZFS with the aclinherit property. Links won't affect anything--you can't link directories.

Regarding using a "proper VCS", it depends upon what kind of data you're dealing with. We use git for all our code, but git has zero permissions associated with it other than the execute bit. We use the filesystem for data files; we have many terabytes of uncurated and curated data for integration testing and other purposes. Some people have write access to curate it; some accounts need read access (CI slaves, developers); other accounts are not allowed to read it (some is public, some is under NDA, and other restrictions apply).

I certainly agree that on Windows this can look horrific (and is horrific). However, all I'm suggesting for this situation on Unix is to add a single group access control entry, and optionally file+directory inherited entries to ensure their propagation. You add them once at the root, and then that's it; they are set and done. Since you are using just one group permission, you're not getting a huge explosion of entries, and it will remain clean and understandable. I've seen repeated problems with the basic Unix perms over a five year period here which require repeated action by the admins or guilty parties to fix them up, plus the issue with access via Samba or NFS on client systems accessing the data. That adds up to a maintenance burden which can now be eliminated entirely, making life easier for everyone concerned and the infrastructure is more robust as well. None of the end users even need to be aware of the existence of ACLs; unless they manually screw with the automatically set ACEs, it will just work. As with everything there's a cost/benefit to consider; there is a cost, but ACLs are not universally bad.
True that unsafe isn't considered too wrong in rust, but auditing the small amount of unsafe code is much easier than all the code.

Different perspective: I live in Canada, next to a Whole Foods (Unionville).

If you compare prices of organic food and quality, Whole Foods is better and chair than any other place. Maybe downtown Toronto would be cheaper, but then I won't travel 35km for groceries.

The only thing I really dislike is the lack of true organic meat selection (only ABF) and they don't have things like lard.
I'm a little unclear about this. Is this a lease or a sale? As spectrum is part of the commons, then amortized over forever the price should be, well, infinite.

i'll admit i didn't read the article but i'm completely sure it's wrong, because i think the skills you ACTUALLY need aren't this new wave shit, I think it's actually focusing on your network as a job, focusing on what you can actually control, and talking to alumni.
What really turns me off is acronyms about internal systems nobody outside of the company offering the job knows about.

Additionally job descriptions full of filler text trying to make the job seem more important than it is. The usual blabber about team players and competitive compensation, etc.

No, and as far as high end instructions then only 128bit AVX is natively supported on Zen, with 256bit AVX possible with half the throughput and no 512bit AVX support at all.
That said because Intel disables AVX2 in half its SKU's at least that will likely not to be a major impact.
As far as other features it's still TBD, virtualization works better on Intel currently, some other platform dependant issues would also probably still favor intel.
Intel makes their storage, networking and USB in house, AMD doesn't, AM3 storage and USB performance were considerably slower than Intel's solution and it's yet to be seen what AM4 will provide.

AM4 will come with USB3.0/3.1 from ASMEDIA and will only support a single NVME drive, so if you are looking for a professional workstation, need high speed storage, ECC, and can utilize quad channel low latency memory then Intel is still likely the way to go even with blue team tax.

If you need multi GPU support and NVME at the same time, as well as other peripherals that use PCIE then you also might need to look at intel still since Zen will only come with 28 PCIE lanes.
Hopefully they've sorted their PCIE performance issues at least, AM3 not only had bandwidth limitation due to PCIE 2.0 support but also had a much higher PCIE latency for unexplained reasons.
The biggest scam is actually the other way around. Intel pulled ECC support from desktop processors a few years ago to force datacentres to buy their Xeons instead.

It's nearly impossible to find a desktop CPU that supports ECC ram now even though 5 years ago it was commonplace.

Trying to run a NAS with some sensitive data is now impossible unless you buy their server chips
Communism and capitalism are both experiments to see what are the most effective control mechanisms.

Communism told you directly what you had to do & think, the other is a system of suggestion that uses indirect often voluntary chosen means of communication, beit news channels, facebook meme, virals, data reports, bills and so on to help you arrive at the conclusion they want you to arrive at.

Its a clever system of control if you cant see whats going on and believe you make your own decisions, whilst discounting how much you defer your decision making to experts, like teachers, Doctors, police, politicians and so on.

Even the politicians are manipulated by the reports they get shown. The puppeteers are banking on your motivation in more ways than one.

No, the US should not be allowed to request or demand access to a US Citizen's electronic devices for any reason whatsoever, no matter what Homeland Security says. The whole point of customs was to insure that goods were not brought into the country to avoid paying duties. The contents of an electronic device cannot be charged a duty. Anything else is beyond their authority. Of course none of this will stop a guy in a fancy uniform from demanding an illegal search anyway and making your life hell. Given the current government this will only get worse.
> whats stopping the price of flights from being halved in the next couple of decades and killing this train service too?

The construction of the high-speed rail system is/will be heavily subsidized by the government. So presumably, the government will have a vested interest in keeping the train service running and will subsidize operating costs if airlines cut prices in that manner.
"The lead author of the study, Dr Gerda Pot, is a Visiting Lecturer in the Diabetes and Nutritional Sciences Division and is also based at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She said: ‘The findings of our study are surprising. We expected to find an association between eating later and being more likely to be overweight but actually found that this was not the case. This may be due to the limited number of children consuming their evening meal after 8pm in this cohort."

So the study is far too small to have the power to come to surprising conclusions, and should probably be retracted.

Also, Science Bulletin has very annoying popovers that will drive the audience away.

They should have more data as to accidents/claims/etc. This is part of the 'free market' wrt sharing that hasn't really played out yet.
