> If it's not standard DRM, then it's Apple DRM and Windows DRM... like we already have.

which is fragmentation, and bad for businesses that want DRM, but don't want to _pay_ the cost of fragmentation. By adding it to an open standard, they no longer need to deal with end fragmentation (which causes end user a bad experience). But the solution was never to standardize on DRM, but to standardize on _non-DRM_ formats! The pirates can obtain content regardless - DRM only hurts consumers in the long run.

Yeah okay that doesn't exactly equate to lacking moral fortitude. Think you're projecting a bit there.

Well said. It's like iterating prototypes: why would you spend time and thought engineering it properly? The point of prototypes is they're quick and cheap.

SEEKING WORK - Northern Utah (SLC to Provo) or Remote

I've mostly been doing backend work, and most of that in Scala, but Clojure is my first programming language and I have been learning it for close to 10 years.

I've built a wide range of things from an interpreter to update business logic code for an upgrade of a proprietary enterprise application for medical billing/coding software.

A couple Scala/Play microservices (one a financial/mortgage industry calculator and the other to oversee some GUI automation tasks against an old Windows app).

I've created a completely normalized relational schema with over 330 tables.

Presently I'm creating a Clojure/script, Om Next & Garden based library for declaratively creating composite css shapes with their corresponding html.
You missed his point. If a person is getting something for cheap (coal fired electricity) while allowing the rest of society to pick up the tab (dealing with climate change), perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to. Putting a dollar value on the damage being done through burning coal and adding that to the bill of the people who prefer to burn coal is the best way for them to take responsibility for their actions.

Your arguments seem to be straight from the conservative playbook. No doubt then you would also object to people getting handouts from the govt. A situation where a person gets cheap electricity and allows someone else to pay for it sounds exactly like a handout.
I bet you could make money on this now, today, by creating a code consulting service, where people would come to you with "that one bug they could never fix". They would send you their code, you would go through the debugging with them, and provide them with a video of your application showing how the data moved around and explaining to them the bug. Like debugging as a service. This wouldn't scale, unless you brought on a team of consultants who were all able to use your buggy debugger, but it would be lucrative.
Profit doesn't need to have anything to do with it.

It doesn't make economic sense to spend, as an extreme example, $500M of public money to save one life. If we did whatever medical treatments we could, at whatever cost, we'd go broke as a society very quickly.

Utilitarian optimization places some upper bound on the amount of money we should be willing to spend to save a life. Making people pay for their own care approximates this bound but with more variance.
Oh wow great to hear. It's really an alpha version. Some more things that are really required for beta are allowing editing workouts and lots more progress charts!!!

However, I think that for data entry it is good to go. There will be some improvements there as well like for e.g. better superset indication and allowing copying workouts.

I'm also very happy to get feedback so don't feel shy.

Cheers!

You are paying extra, you are just not realizing it. The environment is subsidizing your "cheap electricity".

It's not about businesses failing - content disappears from Netflix and other services all the time. Shows people were watching previous month regularly disappear even though people pay for service. And DRM prevents them from exercising the legal right (in most juristictions, even US) to make private copies and watch them later. Remember VCRs and DVR devices? We changed laws to explicitly allow that.

Hmm, not sure about cycles too. It sounds more like CPU clock cycles, may be confusing to those who see it that way?

Note that there is also one more limit, the max gas per block limit..

Personally, I quite like gas, not too hard for a casual dev like me to understand. However, perhaps in the future it could be something that is totally abstracted, since asking everyone to understand how gas works is too much.
Actually, there are protections built into the our system of justice for incidental violations of the law like this where there was no criminal intent. Killing someone with your car is a potential violation of a whole host of serious statutes - potentially all the way up to first degree murder. But if it is determined to be an accident and there aren't other factors (intoxication, extreme negligence, etc.)...you cannot be prosecuted for that.
I'm a programmer, obviously I know what a back-link is, and obviously when you're referring to them you're doing so in reference to how Google uses them in page rank, please don't pretend otherwise.

Whether revocation works has nothing to with my point about StartCom, which is that they weren't honest about what was free and what wasn't. I know this because I was annoyed with it at the time and actively looked at how they presented themselves.

On the topic of revocation, you're missing a couple of aspects:

- First, both end users and CAs are required to revoke certificates that are compromised; it's not an option. It's a fundamental part of a CA's operation.

- Second, CAs provide revocation services like OCSP for revoked and non-revoked certificates alike. So, certainly the costs for running OCSP are comparable in both cases. You could argue that CRLs cost a bit more, but largely only because of the bandwidth cost (as CRL is just a file).

In what way does wanting to keep what I earn mean I "hate others"? I feel sad when I walk by homeless people, but I don't stop and give them everything I can afford until I'm impoverished. Do you? If not, why do you hate others so much that you want to "keep them from getting housing"?

Hopefully you see why your argument is disingenuous. If you're really so hard on hypocrisy, you should go out right now and give every last penny to someone else's medical expenses. Or are you only generous enough to spend other people's money?
> whether or not the DRM is in the spec changes nothing on the ground.

no, having a sanctioned DRM mechanism in an open standard means DRM is being normalized (and by extension, acceptable). The fact that DRM already exists as plugins isn't the point - but making DRM part of the web standard gives free reign for the pro-DRM camp that it's acceptable, or even desirable!

The only acceptable standard is one where the user benefits. I don't see how a user can benefit from DRM, except that this standard makes DRM less difficult to swallow for an end user (who, let's face it, don't give a shit about DRM). The added convenience of standardization means we can never get to a place where DRM-free content is the majority/norm.
I wish there was a better way to connect entrepreneurs of varying skills together. I am in a similar boat as you, but on the other end.

I am a marketer and at times I have ideas (for websites or apps) that I would like to get built, but since I have to pay for that and since not all ideas are going to be winners it can become an expensive proposition.

Although threads like this can be valuable since I can reach out to developers who have created a product that I see addressing a real need in the market and reach out to them to see if there is any scope to work together, but these are few and far between.
The costs to subvert SGX are unfortunately far below millions. Probably hundreds or thousands after you have some one time research.

It is a viable additional client protection, especially against remote malware, software-only tampering (unless there are implementation bugs or backdoors), but not a viable server trust substitute.
The judge explained it thus:

>In short, the cases cited by the State answer the question of whether a landowner can remove someone from her property or sue for trespass even when the person wishes to exercise First Amendment rights. And generally, as the cases make clear, the answer is yes. But that is not the question before the court. The question here is whether the State (not a private landowner) can prosecute (not sue for damages) a person based on her speech on private property. [...]

> In sum, the fact that speech occurs on a private agricultural facility does not render it outside First Amendment protection. Nobody disputes that owners of an agricultural facility can immediately remove from the property any person speaking in ways the owners find objectionable. But if the State wants to criminalize the same speech, it must justify the law under the First Amendment.
The best argument against dynamodb is the aws "well architected" guidelines - how are you designing for resiliency with your single region, active-passive database with clunky bolt on replication using kinesis?

Can you explain how your bot worked from a technical perspective? And/or what did you learn from the whole experience
but what part of the pipeline is responsible for the verification of the 'unmodified' trait?

If it's a part that's open-sourced (hardware or software), then won't it simply be _modified_ to allow it to pass and allow extraction of decrypted content?

If it's _not_ open-source, then you don't have a fully open-source DRM scheme.

That is good point, so far I see one potential explanation, but it presumes that clients are on equal footing with other peers in the system.
Whenever you send a write and destination discovers that it doesn't have all of writes operations this write depends on, you send them as well.
On the other hand, if clients are tracking only dependencies without actual data behind them, then I don't see how to ensure availability - maybe with fixed entry point to the system (one for each client), but then it is not exactly available.

EDIT:

I did look at the actual paper [0], they provide a strong consistency within local data center, and a causal consistency with convergent conflict handling across data centers.
They presume that each client resides within a data center, so it is essentially a variant of fixed entry point solution I mentioned earlier.

Additionally, what it quite important, you lose causal consistency if client connects to different data centers.

> "But it seems tenuous to me to claim that the state can criminalize trespassing, but not trespassing for the purposes of X, or conspiring to trespass to commit X, regardless of X."

In this case, X is speech protected by the First Amendment. The state cannot make "trespassing for the purposes of making legal speech" a worse crime than trespassing in general.

Battery technology will continue to mature and at a certain point it will undoubtedly be the better option in most cases. Instead of a giant one-off civil engineering project every time (with all the ways that could go poorly), it would presumably be a relatively straightforward and repeatable install. Unless there is a dire need to bring a ton of storage online right now, it seems that investing in batteries is the better option.
>Musk would have tons of customers(including power companies), to supply power during peak hours and save them a lot of money.

Assuming such customers don't already have existing contractual obligations with existing providers nor assets whose valuation depends on no significant changes to current operations.

People wouldn't be as upset if this were just "5 minutes" or just happening at one place. It's systemic and widespread, and for more people to know that it is indeed systemic and widespread, more investigation and exposés are required (even if the abusing parties don't like it). Otherwise people just brush it off saying "this is one isolated instance", "it's just two different places" and all sorts of excuses to avoid confronting the truth.

Isn't that natural?

There are obviously certain sweet spots in projects where you're at your best. For me, that is after the initial coding on the project, but before going into maintenance mode. Adding big new features to a project is what I like best.

However when I step into an existing project with a huge amount of code, there's a lot of uncertainty. Did I grok the existing architecture? Will I use the existing code to its fullest? Do I make it better instead of worse?

The problem is your statement is that CO2 is not poisonous. It is a natural gas that is produced by human breath.

I built https://www.indoclinic.com, an online doctor consultation service. The idea is pretty similar to Healthtap/Practo.

We managed to sign up some doctors and got a few users to consult via the platform but ended up closing down the project eventually, mostly due to lack of traction and avenues for differentiation.

Lessons learned:
- Do proper user research before starting to code
- 'Better customer service' is not really an advantage unless you know how to spread the word and/or are willing to spend years on your product

The story itself was iffy, but the campaign's aesthetic and maps were AMAZING.

I still remember the "defend the harbor" mission where you had one Moho mine and you had the long range destroyers showing up and desperately salvaging the long range Ranger missile ships for minerals because they were utterly nonthreatening but super valuable..

The map with a giant crevasse. The map with a ton of gunships. It was a really solid campaign. It felt like an amazing story even if the writing was simple to the point of parody just because everything was so well designed and fit perfectly together.
If you have no interest in what's being said, nor anything to say, then we can all agree it's not in your interests to bother with a trade language.

The discussion here is pretty clear evidence that something has been said. You may find it unnecessarily obtuse from a layman's perspective, but so is any legal contract, math textbook, or CS theory article. Trade languages exist for a reason.

Legality and the morality of the times may be different species, but speaking only on the latter, would you say the same thing about people who do undercover investigations in other areas (like sweat shops, child labor and many other things that most people would agree as unethical)? Shouldn't it be the law that should catch up?
You can do all that and more if you don't take everything literally.
It's NOT fiat currency, it's a product that can be used to exchange funds, evade taxes, go around a country's poor economy, make a buck via day or long-term trading / investing, etc. It's an investment product; nobody uses it as fiat outside of dodgy darknet websites, and whatever webshop does accept it only does so to hold onto it for a while and hope the value increases.

There's too much inflation and uncertainty for it to be a fiat currency. I mean the value of BTC fluctuated 1000% in the span of just a couple of years.
>you only have one credit-card

nothing inherently wrong with that. You won't have maximum access to credit and multiple bank relationships but those consequences may not be relevant to you.

> you make sure you don't overspend

That's great, but not related to the number of credit cards someone has.

> never paid attention to how many points you accumulate.

Some people obsess with points but there's a difference between not accumulating optimally and not accumulating at all. It's incredibly simple to get a 1-2% discount on all money you spend by using credit cards. But, again, that opportunity cost may not be relevant to you.
A good litmus test is the level of technical depth of discussion, it's very easy to discuss hypothetical achievements at a high-level of any cryptoasset, but to be able to get into the details demonstrates knowledge beyond any regular trader as well as provides possibly objective reasons to be argued with.
Kotlin's equivalent of Java Streams are succinct and beautiful
"Individual" and "single human being" are abstractions. So are "cells" and "skin" and everything else. If you remove abstraction, you remove language, but an undivided landscape of activity of nature remains. Language is just a layer and for our convenience.

But where ever there is communication, abstractions are required to compose a coherent and persistent message. So DNA and proteins and even subatomic particles that entangle can be considered to be tapping into natures capacity to abstract, and to compute those abstractions.

And if you consider nothing exists in a void, and the innate connected-ness of an undivided and unabstracted universe as a whole, everything is coming and going; everything is itself a message and the subject of computation; and nature is engaged in a never ending conversation with none other than itself. If it's messages can be any size, and last however long, then you and I too are just one of its many messages.
