Theft of property is illegal in almost all jurisdictions in a very general sense. It doesn't matter what the property is, and the law doesn't try to anticipate every possible thing a person could own to specifically prohibit misappropriating it.

The practical challenges to tracking hackers or 'hackers' stealing digital currency mean you don't see regular prosecutions, but the ease of getting away with it shouldn't imply legality.

> So in general, use a trusted channel for key exchange separate from the communication channel so that a MITM needs to control both channels?

Yes, this is how PGP verification is supposed to take place.

Someone sends you their public key, and then you meet them in person to verify it.

Of course, nothing stops the government from sending an agent to meet you, but it does raise the effort required to MITM substantially.
> Does that argument still hold up if you're going to have human insurance and human arbitration?

I think it does. You don't need human arbitration, but there are so many cases where having it makes people more likely to transact.

Similarly, a hotel can put up a rack with brochures in the lobby, or can hire a concierge to smile and interact with guests as they walk by. The purpose of the concierge is to create more transactions than would have happened with a rack of brochures.

As for the question in the previous thread, I'm not sure if it's worth the energy expenditure or not, but predictions are that energy will cease to be scarce by 2030 or so.

Fulfillment is a hard thing to quantify. Maybe unemployed people feel bad because they aren't doing anything, or maybe they feel bad because there is nothing for an unemployed person to do when everyone is working. Maybe they feel bad because other people make them feel bad for being unemployed, through their pity or indifference or even well meaning attempts to help.

You are completely right that it sucks to not have a job, but its possible that's a reflection of how social life is structured and not some biological Protestant work ethic. Right now "I work at X company" is shorthand for "I am a a productive member of society". That certainly benefits companies and certain types of people. But it's not the only imaginable value system. And I suspect that people who feel valuable are a lot less likely to find solace in bottle of pills.

No one is stopping you from implementing a URL like: `/feed?include=users`, which is easier on the eyes than the GraphQL equivalent. But clients generally aren't aware of the `include` query or what it does unless it's advertised from the server. There's URI templates (RFC 6570) which let you advertise it as `/feed{?include}`, but few clients understand URI templates. With GraphQL, it's part of the spec, but you must know that the server follows the spec anyways.

Just loading the sysctl values will not switch the packet scheduler on already existing network interfaces, but it will start using BBR on new sockets.

Switching the scheduler at runtime using tc qdisc replace is possible, but then you need to take extra care if the device is multi queue or not. Instead of explaining it all here just rebooting is probably simpler.

This post is very simplistic. A company is defined by its culture. There are many different models for building the culture of a company.

Different cultures prioritize different things. For example, Netflix prioritizes the individual Star culture. Zappos prioritizes the commitment culture.

But isn't that exactly what extensions are for - to enable power users or simply niche use cases to flourish without bogging down the UI and codebase for everyone else?

I would have liked Hello (or really, any decent chat application that's not just some vehicle for the dreams of vendor lock-in by a large company) to succeed, but you're right, it flopped.

Firefox 52 was supported on XP service pack 2 (or later). Version 53 was released April 19, 2017. If you couldn't install FF on XP six months ago, you either were using a really really out of date XP (SP2 was released 2004!), or you misremembered, or you were using some beta or otherwise nonstandard FF.

I mean - I don't really disagree with you; heck I share some of the same frustrations. But what the heck is the alternative? Most of what you're mentioning is worse on every other browser.

What remains is perf and extensions; but I feel that those two issues are intertwined. FF extension APIs were, unfortunately, misdesigned. Not through malice or even incompetence, but because this turns out to be tricky. And so it was really easy to bog FF down with benign-looking extensions, and furthermore, it was difficult for FF to modernize with such low encapsulation. They should have bitten the bullet much earlier - instead, the problem kept festering.

When you say FF was a hog on a 16GB laptop, then it's almost certainly down to extensions - those very extensions you're frustrated they're forcibly modernizing. I don't think there's any good solution here.

> Adjusted bone density at various skeletal sites was 4.5-16.1% higher for black than for white men and was 1.2-7.3% higher for black than for white women

Initially I thought that a bone-density increase of 16% would not significantly affect buoyancy, but the human body has relative-density of 0.98 compared to water... with a margin that narrow I can imagine that a 16% increase in bone density would tip someone to have a >1.0 relative-density compared to water - which then makes swimming difficult.
I have been exclusively been using bluetooth headphones for over 6 years in a city. I have never experienced any of those issues. I ride the bus and live in have a high population density neighborhood. I work in a building with over 300 workers and haven't had a single incident like that.
You are correct. Making drugs illegal has funded the creation of massive cartels who use that funding to pursue other crimes and to war against any competitors.

How Code Vulnerabilities Can Lead to Bad Accidents
Yeah that seems like a huge thing anyway.

LaTeX is from the 80s. I understand it has grown over time, but to >1GB? That's huge, even for modern standards, for just a typesetting program. The documentation is a dependency that seems to be forced on you (it's not an optional dependency in Debian), and fonts are also big. But even without that, you're left with about 600MB if I recall correctly which is still huge for just formatting text right?

> much of the "liquidity" created by high frequency trading is fake

Are you referring to the strategy of placing and canceling limit orders that were never intended to clear?

I think it's just a matter of your definition of liquidity. If you use a trading strategy that assumes that all limit orders will remain there for 10 full minutes, you might turn out to be wrong, and if so your notion of the liquidity of the market will be wrong.

Liquidity is misleading in the same way that price is misleading. The price is the last price that a single unit was traded. Liquidity is the typically thought of as the supply or demand for additional transactions at or near the last market price, or a notion of how stable the price is to fluctuations in supply and demand.

The more volume that trades at a price, the more real that price is. An unfilled limit order contains zero price information, so anyone using it as information should be wary. It may be wishful thinking (typical) or a feint (in the case of some HFT strategies) but it is not evidence of a clearing price unless it clears.

Of course, the same applies to cryptocurrency prices. I spoke with someone who runs a big desk recently and was pretty surprised at how close he was able to come to "market price" for very large transactions.

About the article specifically, it's rather insubstantial and doesn't provide any more insight into company dynamics other than heartfelt paragraphs. Still a healthy reminder though.

But anyway, about the subject matter, from the several tech companies I've been at now I can see that this kind of "exec brainwashing" does happen, and it always seems rather on-the-nose in it's indifference and facelessness. Where I work currently we even have paragraphs like these on our toilet doors! The thing is, people work better when it's "for" something. Something bigger than themselves, such as the "family" or "team" (it's probably something to do with our hunter-gatherer evolutionary genes). Execs, or rather HR and "Worker Performance Consultants" know this, and they (ab)use it to make workers produce more wealth for the company.

I think however that both companies and workers are to blame for past-shift hours, pressures to finish, and such, and both maybe partially for the same reason - a race to the bottom. In terms of companies, this can be for example when company X pushes their workers harder than company Y to undercut their prices. You definitely see this in things like ~[UK reference warning]~ Sports Direct International Ltd, which treats workers rather poorly [1][2][3], just to make their shoes a bit cheaper than that fancy hipster shop down the road who's staff work only their shift hours. In terms of workers, you see the exact same thing, where worker X will over-propose on project A to undercut Worker Y's realistically-proposed project A. So you see that if you don't work crazy hours to finish that big project, then you can definitely bet on somebody else doing it.

In the end it's not always "the evil company and their grubby execs" who are asking too much of their workers to get that good quarter result, but workers themselves asking too much of themselves to get that freelance project, job, promotion, raise, good reference, or whatever, over their job-market or worker peers.

I think maybe the little post misses a few parts of the picture, but like I said, a good reminder of the topic.

Exactly. There's good reason to think that most of human reasoning and the way we attain "knowledge" is not strict deductive logic from firm premises. Rather it's a mixture of Bayesian inference, abductive reasoning "to the best explanation", etc.

Not really. Which pyramids are you talking about?
What we have are some lukewarm explanations which do not hold up to scientific scrutiny of all the historic sources.
If you are talking about the Great Pyramyd of Cheops in Giza then plenty of evidence show that Cheops had nothing to do with building that pyramid. He was a Stone Age monarch at the time when writing and mathematics have not been developed in Egypt.
The pyramid has no indication anywhere on it that it belonged to Cheops, one would think that if a guy spent over 20 years and killed over 20,000 slaves building it, then he'd put his name on it. :)

Sounds like it would be great for wireless ad hoc networks.
Correct. This is what the PGP "web of trust" is supposed to assist with: a trusted key is either one which you have verified, in person, as belonging to your correspondent, or one which has been signed by a number of other correspondents whom you trust to verify keys (and whose keys you have verified in person).
That's why it's circumstantial. It like trying to tie an IP address to an individual. It's, at best, a proxy measurement of "who".

For example, maybe people ordered drugs to their neighbour's address then waited for the delivery guy and intercepted the package.
Over the weekend I setup one of the new consumer mesh products that's available, the Linksys Velop, with 9 nodes covering a good sized area between two homes.

One thing I've been noticing though is that there is considerable latency/packet loss at the moment (there is only one wired backhaul at the primary node and all of the other nodes are connected to each other wirelessly).

I've been running Ping Plotter against to all of the nodes and there seems to be considerable packet loss (a few percent) and spikes in latency (average for the two closest nodes to my laptop is about 15 ms, the middle ones out a ways are about 30-40 ms, and the furthest ones are at about 60 ms) but the spikes can be in the hundreds or even thousands of ms.

The area covered is about a 500 ft by 120 ft rectangle more or less (with my house on the bottom left of that rectangle and the other home on the bottom right of that rectangle).

My question would be...would this BBR algorithm help in some way to reduce the latency/packet loss in a situation like this? Or does it only apply for these other situations that Google would normally be encountering/dealing with?

Thanks for the input!
I can't speak intelligently to your questions, because I have no relevant first-hand experience or knowledge of CPR literature.

My only point regarding

> The average rule is that if heart has not restarted after 6 minutes, brain damage is irreversible

is that it doesn't mean it's worthless to continue CPR. Different people have different preferences about how grievous an injury they would want to survive. Whether to continue comes down to that preference. Have an advanced directive, and make sure your loved ones know what you want to have happen if you are every in an emergency!
Simply saying "Eat fewer calories" is technically correct and completely useless in practice. People simply can't do it no matter how hard they try.

> Is there a benefit on using Python in terms of performance rather than C/++

No, but you can rapidly develop applications in Python and when performance becomes an issue, you just rewrite certain modules in C/C++/Rust/Go/etc.

>The suggestion that there are other kinds of valid thinking besides scientific thinking is way off.

> can you explain how the protocol can tell the difference between a legitimate hardware

From the perspective of the network, there is no difference. When you agree to dedicate some storage to the network, you post a collateral in FIlecoin. If you lose something you've agreed to store (fail to prove that you're storing it when asked to do so by the network), you pay a penalty out of your collateral.

> Is payment only collected upon retrieval

No. Storage miners continuously prove (probabilistically) to the network that they're storing the files they've agreed to store.
