I would like to volunteer writing binding for as many languages as you can come up with, but I can't guarantee I won't shave off a fraction of a cent in transactions. Or that I'll get the decimal placement right when dealing with that "fraction"...

In all seriousness, I would be fairly worried running someone else's code on my bank account unless it was very straightforward. Even forgoing malice and incompetence, there's plenty of "wow, that's a crazy interaction between systems that wasn't obvious" to go around.
I'd like to think it's because WW2 changed us, for the better. We just want to build great things now and help everyone and not only ourselves. We respect others, independent of race or nationality, and it think we're much less superficial than some other countries are. But that holds true for most European countries so IDK, maybe I'm simplifying it too much right now. It just feels that way to me.

It would be interesting to see exactly how much data is transferred across the bus during training. Of course it would be great if you could fit your whole dataset on the other side but typically a GPU during training will max out at batches of anywhere from 8 to 64 depending on image size and number of channels. So you'll be moving quite a bit of data.

Feel free to email me at arvind.agrawal@huskers.unl.edu if you're up for it! Thank you so much!

>> He'd sit down and take a sip of his tea, a hit of opium, sprinkle some pepper on his eggs and explain that we had globalisation before both world wars.

The globalization before world wars was the type which favored the British through exploitation of colonies. That exploitation led to many small scale wars (armed and civil). Towards the end of the British empire, many Brits lost their wealth and investments in colonies.

>> What we did have was protections so that first world people weren't competing with third world labor laws. Now the thought of any kind of tariff protection is heresy.

UK is nothing special on this planet. God didn't come one day and say, "Hey, you guys are special. You guys deserve better labor laws at the expense of your colonies. Here's all the wealth of the world for you."

The wealth, luxury and healthcare that is afforded by the average British is a consequence of colonization (a form of globalization) which started from 1600s. Let's look at the historical timeline:

1600-1950: This was the time when third world people were fighting and dying for resources because the British empire exploited them. All the labor protections the British people got was because of the massive wealth extraction from other countries. There simply was more wealth per citizen.

1200-1500: Before above wealth, Britain had the same labor laws as the "third world".

Looks like the rest of the world is not a slave to colonization any more and are making the most of it. Do you disagree they don't deserve to try to improve their lives?

If UK recedes from the global market, nobody gives a fuck to be honest. Other countries will find a way to continue trade without the UK and keep building their own wealth.

Frankly, these journalists are part of the problem. Pulling up their publishing history, all you see them writing about is Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.

In that type of PR environment, it is hard to see other startups rising up unless they raise massive amounts of money which gets them PR. Every year the bar gets higher and you never see them writing about new and exciting companies working on interesting projects on a consistent basis. In the end, most of these tech writers are not journalists, but ghostwriters for the big tech titans.

Access is under no risk whatsoever. Encryption is math. It is open source. It will always be there. What is at risk is the legal right to use it, the government's permission for the public to use that math. My point: people with good reason to fear the government will still access and use encryption. This therefore isn't about terrorists. It is about watching the everyday people who want to abide by the law.

Most people I've met who work in security at large companies would rather lose their job than participate in the erasure of security for all. Apple showed this pretty obviously, but I think many companies would have most of their software engineers quit before accepting such a request, even if it was a direct order. The government cannot order you personally to write software, that's blatant first amendment violations, even if they figure out a way to order a company to do so. When politicians see one of their largest corporations disappearing over night, and the associated loss of world power and tax revenue, from engineers quitting vs a police force trying to force things like this... I think there will be some reconsidering that would happen.

Most people today authenticate their email account by typing their password into the DOM and sending it over the wire. It puts a ton of pressure on email providers to be secure. I consider my email password the absolute most important piece of information I have.

So although I do agree with you (and have created sites in the past that do passwordless login), the general password problem doesn't really get solved with this approach.
Try adding it to a startup script.
Yep, this is the only thing that can possibly work. The path of least resistance has to be secure, and in order to do something insecure, you need to know enough about what you're doing to jump through hoops to get there. Right now, we are in the opposite situation. People have to jump through hoops to do the secure thing.

You also have to meet them where they are, not get them to change their ways to suit yours. Otherwise, you're adding resistance, and you'll fail.
they think we can create a system only available to them

Because there are civilian consumer systems, and state apparatus systems. The civilian consumer systems just leave shit out in the open, all over the place, and make a mess, with no obligation to common, clueless people.

Everyone knows that no effort is made to retain military operational security for sloppy, undisciplined non-combatants.

Anyone with clearance to actual hardened systems, sees a clear difference from the other side of the wall, and questions why the charade must go on, when it'd be so much easier to dispose of the pretense that there's "privacy" to be had, and see investigations forced to prosecute with so much parallel construction.

The state apparatus systems, in their minds, deserve preservation of secrecy, because it puts the owners at an advantage. They seek advantage by crippling consumer civilian systems. This is the line of reasoning from their perspective. Render outsiders defective. Create real systems for themselves. Maintain authority by denying useful systems to unknown quantities.

> The high taxes on assets in France and the inheritance tax in the U.S. prevent the accumulation of capital necessary for the formation of a strong mid-sized sector.

I am surprised by this assertion. Allegedly family-managed firms can make long term decisions, but those observations are always subject to survivorship bias. At best I would think this issue marginal. (There's also a bias in the statement, as inheritance tax in the US is quite low and kicks in at a pretty high level).

I would think if anything the ability to inherit reduces the likihood of outside ideas.

(And anyway, in a republic, inheritance is abhorrent. We don't need another aristocracy.)
That's a terrible example.

Encryption wasn't mainstream at all back then and, more crucially, digital surveillance was still in its infancy. The most popular chat app in the world right now implements full E2E encryption. Go back 10 years and having a "chat" consisted of sending your friends SMS messages.
People with a better understanding of the LTE protocols than I do -- is it possible to make an LTE relay (like this "magic box") but without any cooperation from the network operator (so no access to any cryptographic keys/secrets and no special/internal access to the operator's network)?

I know that to avoid self-interference, the relay needs to either implement frequency separation between its link to the real eNB and its link to the UEs it serves, or implement time separation. AIUI, time separation gets done by (for DL) not transmitting to real eNB when needing to listen to UE and (for UL) by not transmitting to UE when needing to listen to eNB. I think this gets more complicated when DL and UL are in the same band (TDD LTE).

Since I have no access to any key material, I cannot read anything that's encrypted and I cannot modify anything that'll get verified cryptographically or gets used as an input to a KDF (changes in KDF inputs will lead to different keys on the UE than the network expects). Given this limitation, is it possible to either:

1. Demodulate signals from the real eNB (on its DL band), replace any reference to the real DL band (in the master/system information blocks) with our DL band, and radiate that on a different DL band to the UE -- and do the same transform with the UL bands. Is it possible to fool the UE this way? Is the UARFCN used as a KDF input or talked about over some signalling radio bearer in RRC / NAS messages (which afaict, is encrypted and thus inaccessible)?

2. Is it possible to intercept/consistently modify/pass-on scheduling requests / resource grants for both UL and DL without breaking anything? Are scheduling requests / resource grants ever encrypted or otherwise protected by cryptography? Does anything above that layer actually know/care about the precise scheduling? Would this be a feasible method to ensure that there's no self-interference at the relay (by telling the UE to radiate on UL at a different time than the relay will radiate on UL to the eNB, and similarly for DL)?
Spending money and cutting taxes are essentially equivalent, though.
Nope, you've got it backwards :) If you really want security, it's something that no programmer should have to think about. Your language/framework/platform/API has to provide it for free. Trying to make every developer a security expert is a laughable proposition. That's my conclusion after 15 years in the security industry.
Well change the passwords to everything except the google account that was compromised. I don't think you can recover the password of a google account through its own gmail inbox.

Although I guess if you had a circular recovery chain of this google account depending on a different email that depended on this google account, the attacker could use your email to recover the other email then use the other email to recover this google account. So it might be wise to change the passwords to everything.
I'm sure there's a YC company working on that right now

Javascript is a tricky language to do this, most libraries don't have types or JSDocs which is somewhat an issue so they need to be way less strict on what's auto-completed/interpreted. I don't see this as a fault in Jetbrains here. I say that wishing it would do more, but understanding it's probably at it's limits.

Try IntelliJ with plugins for Ruby, Python, PHP, NodeJS, Go, Rust - I agree that for the most part it just "works". Although you can "feel" it's Java engine sometimes.
Reading it again, yes, you are right.
You can also get real high quality bearings made in China, but they will not be as cheap, and you will have to verify that you are getting what you asked for.
They obtain an "authorization" in some amount, probably the bill minus tip, then fulfill it later for the amount of the bill plus tip. This is a ubiquitous practice with payment cards - for example, when you pay for gas with one, the POS authorizes some small amount to ensure the account can accept debits before unlocking the pump, and later fulfills the authorization for the price of the fuel you purchased.

Authorizations of this sort count against your available balance, and time out eventually if not fulfilled; when you look at your account and see "pending charges", this is what they actually are. Not all charges use this process - when the total amount is immediately known, it's generally immediately charged as well. But in any case where the amount may change or the account requires validation before a transaction can proceed, this is how it's done.

Presumably, since a valid authorization constitutes an agreement to pay the charge (hence the language under the signature line on your bar tab), the "enable" step you perform via the API would permit the authorization to occur, and fulfillment would work the same way it does now.

Right now everyone is solvent.

But as more Medicaid costs shift to states and they have to face their underfunded or unfunded pension obligations, things will get nasty.

Iirc, New Jersey (recent governors have balanced the cash budget by suspending pension fund payments), Massachusetts and Illinois are in the worse shape.

Other states are a mess, but are more sound. New York pension obligations are guaranteed by the state constitution, and pension contributions have taken place but the high taxes and presence of Wall St have mostly funded the obligations. (They do have an issue with the low interest rate environment and expectation o 7% returns)
