> Making the finance industry smaller would not help society, because it would make lending more expensive

I may be uninformed, but this does not seem logical to me.

I'd say that

1) a smaller finance industry has lower costs, which should more than offset other effects and

2) cheap lending is part of the problem itself, because this cheap money is used (by the finance industry itself and wealthy people) to buy things that are already there (such as real estate, or businesses), inflating its price, after which they will extract more rent from it, as it is now increased in value. This is much easier and less risky than investing money in new economic activities. I understand that only a small percentage of lending actually goes into new economic activities, the vast majority is used to transfer ownership of pre-existing things, increasing the costs for society.

I can think of at least 3 reasons for not using CMS/PKCS #7:
1. CMS is using ASN.1 as others have mentioned. That alone is a deal-breaker and a major reason CMS implementation are hard, uncommon, and ever-so-slightly incompatible.

2. CMS requires certificates, which are harder to generate, verify and deal with than simple public keys.

3. CMS allows you to use any combination of ciphers, including weak one. Experience with TLS told us that this flexibility is NOT good feature when it comes to crypto standards.

Besides that, all the reasons the rationale raised against PGP also reamin true for CMS:

Notes on SFIC (Best) Interchangeable Core Locks
Clustered indexes aren't an all-or-nothing choice. SQL Server allows heap tables without any clustered indexes, tables with a clustered index on the primary key, and tables clustered on a secondary index with the primary key as a non-clustered index. It is really nice to have all three of those options available.

This implies, without evidence, that all of the work that NSA does is directly related to keeping us safe. I wouldn't be so quick to lump it all together like that.

Then, of course, there's also the objection that "keeping us safe" is not an absolute. There are many ways to keep people safe, but they're so extremely onerous that we don't practice them. Totalitarian societies with pervasive open surveillance (think 1984) are very safe, for example, but at what cost? So clearly there's a balance, and one can't just dismiss any concerns about the cost of that safety by saying that it's necessary - it has to be demonstrated that it is (i.e. that the gains from that increased safety justify the losses from intrusiveness).

You can't make assumptions based on a post.

For example, I make money off my own projects, I travel, I have some form of ADD, and I like to batch some of my work into 12 hour binges with the help of some medication like amphetamine.

I love my life, I don't work every day, I don't binge every day. "Work" doesn't always mean you're burning yourself on someone's pyre.

I hope you find something more fulfilling if the mere thought of 8+ hours of work must mean your are "missing the point of living".
Show HN: Social value orientation - like the Cathedral and the Bazaar

Funny you should say that. I thought self-driving cars were a bad example for GP to use because they have almost no down side, especially in the long run. Humans suck at driving, and at dealing with high speed phenomena in general. Computers are great at that. They'll do even better when they don't have any idiot humans in their way on the road. Even if they were more dangerous than human-driven cars, they wouldn't pose anything like the existential threat that nukes, bio-engineering, AI, and nano-tech do.
I use var _this = this
So I checked if this matches their privacy whitepaper [0] that claims to list what they store. It almost does, with one notable exception and one minor one.

* All of your contacts.

Wire contacts, they only store non-wire contacts in a hashed form, and there's an opt out for non-wire contacts.

* Unencrypted profile

(Isn't this just profile picture (which is shown to people you haven't connected with), and name anyways?) They do say so in the privacy policy.

* Every active conversation you have.

Specifically they claim to store:

Who/when it was created, who is involved (which seems critical to be able to route messages), and conversation name

* Every archived conversation you have.

I assume they store the same as for non-archived conversations, seems necessary to be able to add new devices.

* The frequency that you communicate with your contacts ('top contacts').

Ya... that's not listed as far as I can tell. Arguably "aggregated usage statistics"... but it's not really aggregated.

* Every group that you're in.

This is the same as conversations... they clearly need to know this to route messages.

* The unencrypted titles and avatars of everyone's groups.

Titles is listed. Avatars of groups isn't... seems like a minor oversight though given that they're like a profile picture, and profile pictures are publicly available.

If the stakes are high enough, you will find people willing to risk the launches. Missions will just be unable to use very polluted orbits and there will need to be planning around that. You would need a ton of debris to make every launch site and mission type in the world useless.

It's good general advice, but frankly I think it doesn't address some of the major pitfalls - namely the top one: personnel.

In the very beginning it's stated:

"In this report I assume you are (or have access to) a subject matter expert for your application."

In my experience this is where it goes off the rails for most of the crowd that she is addressing. Not because they don't have someone, but because who they have isn't really a "subject matter expert."

It's a muddy term anyway especially in the field of Machine Learning. Excluding for a moment the huksters and bold faced liars, within ML there is WIDE variance in competence, domain specificity and application specific capability within the field.

The biggest capability gap that I have encountered when working with fantastic ML folks is that the ones that understand the mechanisms/algorithms/approaches best, are actually pretty terrible at delivering production code. That's not for lack of capability, it's simply because the bulk of their time has been spent in research - so they approach things very differently than application focused engineers. This is extremely relevant in this case because this is an application specific paper.

There are a plethora of mine-fields in applications of ML, some of which are outlined here from a systems approach, but the majority of which are personnel issues in my experience, and "culture" issues - not to be confused with "culture fit" problems that exist elsewhere.
Don't get me wrong: I love JavaScript, I write piles of it all the time, and I said "was" not "is" because it's been vastly improved since it was originally badly designed, but I still get screwed by accidentally using "this" in the wrong context.

It's such an easy accident to make, and it's so hard to see, because when you're looking at code you wrote, you see what you meant to write, instead of what's actually there. Programming languages are user interfaces, and "this" is a user interface dark pattern, an unforced design mistake that doesn't make the language any more powerful, but lays a deadly trap for beginners that also bites pros.

It's tricky to understand and hard to explain (this is actually a dynamically bound keyword, not a lexically bound variable), so it's fodder for the thousands of blog posting explaining it like the one we're discussing.

Lol. I had to fight my insurance for about six months through several levels of appeals to get them to pay for it for off label use. And it costs, IIRC, $700 a month out of pocket.
> Deliberately suspending one's beliefs takes very good storytelling and/or resources corresponding to a movie budget

I think the "cost" entirely depends on the frame in which the truth is held. It is my belief/hypothesis, that internally visualized truths are cheap to be "rational" in the internal frame. Out here, in reality, those "truths" become irrational, i.e. a lot of expensive work must go into manifesting those truths in the "hardness" of reality.

Irrational truths can manifest "on the cheap" here, I think, if they don't involve speaking for other's truths. Sticking to your own vision, for yourself (or a god), seems to be a common teaching across multiple religions and philosophies. Maybe groups can manifest things cheaply here if it is a common truth for a large amount of the group (and only one or two groups).

I appreciate someone else knows about dissonance. It's a powerful force, when involved in complexity.

Maybe they have spent less time on the school work because they spent more time chatting.

> However, the economists were surprised to find nothing to support the popular theory that time spent on social networks had an adverse effect on children because it left them less time to do other, potentially more rewarding, activities.

Well there are only twenty-four hours in the day, so if they spent X hours on social media that only leaves 24 - X hours for other activities, so that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
To me, "native toolkit" means standard UI elements, not the lowest-level API.
I'd say it's nice to have a 'baseline' that you can operate off of. Life has never for me been so stressful and worrisome that I needed to regress back to a base point where I feel perfectly at ease with all outcomes, honestly more basic stuff like threat modeling at an intellectual level has been more than sufficient.

I'm not going to say that all my meditation has been useless, but there's definitely a diminishing point of returns there where you need increasing amounts of refinement before you can really distinguish differences. Stoicism is really "good enough" for most purposes.

It's like buying $500 whiskey when you can't even tell the difference between $100 whiskey and $200 whiskey, they both taste smooth. Meditation techniques take time and effort to perfect just like anything else, and eventually you start needing more time to move the needle. At some point you just want to get back to the world and accomplish things.

If I go in my preferred slot it's 45 minutes max, usually 33 minutes. If I go 10am, 6:45 pm, it's 22 and 20 minutes. Fastest I've ever made it is 19 minutes and that was doing well over the speed limit the whole time on a motorcycle.
FIDOnet's temporary connections over POTS copper is arguably more resistant to censorship of a populace.

FIDOnet is arguably the precedent to the Internet, certainly Net culture derives more primally from the BBS scene than any IP transported culture.

Broadband connects an IP addy to a blameable citizen.

This produces a fear of sharing a connection ( and thus liability ) - this is concurrent with the demise of public WiFi.

Wynn Wagner III (Opus BBS) reports a support request from a doctor in Vietnam,[1] who states the (Vietnamese) internet is censored but the phones are not.

For similar but different reasons Tom Jennings reports FIDOnet support requests from .ru domains.[2]

The internets current distribution model seems unlikely to survive massive infrastructure attack, major connection bottlenecks are too narrow now.

Radio HAMS remain the likely communication network of first resort after any large scale devastation.

Facebook is not particuarly more than a very large BBS, (with the addition of Jeremy Bentham's panopticon[3]).

"Though actual observation may be discontinuous, fear of observation is continuous. And, this constant fear of observation produces self-censorship, which, according to Winston, is a “habit that becomes instinct”. Consequently, the panopticon’s monopoly on the body gradually becomes a monopoly on the mind." [4]

I as assuming that Canonical support would mainly have to tackle pretty tough problems, because users will solve the simpler ones themselves. That's very unlike Windows support, where quite a lot of people get stumped by trivia.
