No, it was clear, the point I was contesting was the first point that you quoted. I could have been clearer on why I was commenting.

> The most available first-class address in the system is in a 32 bit address space.

The most available address is a comet. What is the meaning of a "first-class" address? They are all addresses, the motivation of the founders and the concept of a first-class Urbit address is what I take issue with. There is currently very little that you can't do with one of the 0::(64bit) addressed comets, except for "spawning child addresses." The other differences are all theoretical solutions to problems (spam) that we Urbit users in great part just don't have yet, so the idea of a first-class address is basically theoretical too. Having a planet is more like having a /24 if you want to draw parallels to IPv4, but... not really a valid comparison.

Comets are the most available addresses. There are 2^64 of them and it only costs a few CPU cycles to generate you a private key. They have no subordinate "child" addresses. Otherwise they are first-class citizens and you can have as many of them as you want. Go ahead and take your share of that pool of 1.8446744e+19 addresses.

I don't know who would pay $10 for a planet. I know they don't want you to get more than one, in case they need to impose spam controls on these "lower 64" free addresses. I know lots of people have paid for stars, but I don't personally know anyone who didn't get their planet for free at this time.

(Disclosure: I own a galaxy, I don't sell planets, and I did not pay any amount of money for my galaxy. I was in the right place at the right time, and I helped test early releases. I am skeptical that it has the same value as the galaxies that are still held by the founders (it is priceless to me,) but they are active contributors and there is a good reason to give them money if you want to see Urbit development continue.)

There is no such value to be extracted by paying ~del's discount planet shack for stars or planets. I am hardly even a casual hoon programmer.
Focusing on your point: I don't think I am not influenced by advertising, I just avoid it like the plague for the given reasons. That also means that any intended influence to the benefit of the industry is sufficiently undone. (unless of course you can somehow twist my love for adblockers and muting the TV during ads into something that works for the benefit of the ad industry, which I think is difficult to accomplish)

If we're living in a world where BI is a reality, it will be embraced. Once social programs are implemented, they're nearly impossible to remove -- see ObamaCare. Republicans have given up on going back to the old system and have, well, embraced a tweaked ObamaCare under a new name. They'd do the same with BI.

RR 328: Rails Security Beyond the Defaults with Matias Korhonen
I've been thinking about just imaging the Unifi video box hard drive to an SSD and then putting that back in place, hoping the SSD would help improve performance and longevity enough to make it more reliable. I have thought about setting it up as a virtual instance inside a more general purpose "home server", but currently I don't have anything but laptops/chromebooks at home and kind of what to keep it that way. :-)

Thanks for the pointers. I haven't had the Unifi system for a year yet, so I must be running the more reliable software.

I did do an install of the Unifi software on a Ubuntu virtual machine for initial testing, and I agree that it was super easy.

So I assume that if you are installing these systems, that you are more or less happy with them? I was optimistic about it, like the cameras and the promise of the controller software, but wish it was more reliable.

Up until now, oil and fossil fuels have done way, way more good than harm to humans. They have enabled farming techniques that can produce food for billions of people. They have enabled global distribution of goods. They have enabled mass commercial air travel. They have enabled the greatest lifting of people out of poverty in human history. Abundant, reliable electricity most often powered by fossil fuels enabled the digital revolution.

This suit is very disingenuous and nothing but political grandstanding.

Makes sense but I still imagine addicts with UBI will fair better than people with addictions under the current system.

It's _way_ easier to be a functional addict if you have financial stability. The real problems with addiction (crime, disease, etc) start to compound when you can't afford the habit.

I do see a lot of existential crises occurring in people born under the current system who transition to a UBI lifestyle. Probably less so for those born into UBI.

> I'm not sure what the correct solution for a lost PIN should be

Krebs gives an answer in the article and I think I agree:

> I understand if people who place freezes on their credit files are prone to misplacing the PIN provided by the bureaus that is needed to unlock or thaw a freeze. This is human nature, and the bureaus should absolutely have a reliable process to recover this PIN. However, the information should be sent via snail mail to the address on the credit record, not via email to any old email address.

Until we have a way to guarantee our electronic identity to the government (e.g. an RSA key registry so that I can sign a message like "I am $name and $email is my email"), physical delivery is the best option.
I think you are looking at it the right way. If the software you want to run isn't available on some platform, that should rule out the platform.

I've always had an Android phone and an iPad so I've tended to choose applications that are cross platform so switching is easy for me. I think my next phone is going to be an iPhone because I'm starting to feel like a sharecropper on the Google farm.
If you have that view of Apple and don't trust them, then what would be different if the code was open source? You think they couldn't do a special "evil" build for devices where you can't access the binary and then provide the "non-evil" source for it?

This. Chatter on the public web gets scraped and a connection is inferred by some alogithm somewhere.

However, what's an inside joke (or just sarcasm) to the in-ground might not be a joke to google.

A link to a news story to the tune of "boy steals car and crashes it into river" is obviously a joke when introduced as "look it's $driver's son" in the context of $driver's performance at a formula off road event. Sarcasm on the internet is hard for people to read and harder for machines. While the overall percent of straight up sarcasm and jokes are probably pretty small there's probably a lot of other noise signals in there as well that reduce accuracy.

When you start introducing data from other sources (IP addresses, geolocation, usage patterns) it gets very easy to spot correlations.

I'd assume Google is very good at making these sort of connections out to a few degrees of separation.

I initially felt similar. But once I realized that Seveneves is actually two RPG novels [1] it gets much better.

Part 1 & 2 are universe backstory. Like the Horus Heresy in 40k or the story of Lilith in Vampire.

Part 3 is just to advance the plot of the univers. Like the Dragonheart Trilogy in Shadowrun or when the clans get introduced in Battletech.

The first "ICO" to do it with full compliance, useful tech and good business model, will be huge.

Yes, Filecoin raised over $200M. But their troubles are still in the future. The ICO bubble may pop before any of their investors get liquidity. It's probably illegal for Filecoin to trade on any public exchange, so they need to create a "SecondCoin" exchange for qualified investors. And blockchain-based storage has some unsolved problems like low demand.

Being compliant is quite simply going to be much bigger, sustainable and "good business" than all scammers put together.

Any evidence of this? My impression is that 90% of ICOs wouldn't survive any due diligence.

I guess I take a pretty different view of technological progress. IMO, a lot of technological breakthrough is basically just waiting around until the underlying technologies are ready.

The original iPod was only possible because one of Apple's suppliers happened to make a 1.8" disk drive. iPhone and iPod were only possible because flash storage, batteries, screens, and mobile processors all got to a point where the original iPhone was (barely) viable as a product. Apple can't just will that the underlying technologies which will make autonomous cars or AR glasses possible come into existence now. They can nudge things a little here and there, but, for the most part, they have to wait just like everybody else.

Regarding Tim Cook: my take on Steve Jobs is that his most recognized success at Apple was creating the best products in the world. His collaborator for this was Jony Ive. But he had another accomplishment that is much less recognized: he put a tremendous amount of energy into building Apple the company. His collaborator for this was Tim Cook.

IMO, while Tim Cook may not be a product visionary, I think he is unrivaled as a business visionary. Calling him merely a "good" operator does the man a tremendous disservice. Nothing about the way Apple operates is typical. Their organizational structure is almost unheard of for a company of their size, they refresh almost their entire product portfolio every year, they release 3 new operating systems every year, they rarely make acquisitions, but when they do, it almost always works out. They have built an utterly dominating advantage in mobile processors. Etc, etc.

I currently carry a Sharp LL-S201A which is slightly larger than the above ones -- I got a great deal off eBay for once. If I didn't then probably I'd get one of the 17" ones above -- the Sharp needs a VESA mount which makes things unwieldly.
Most people on Hacker News are really not any different from anyone else in their country - they're just in a different line of work. The idea that you're a better/more moral person if you get paid more is a fallacy.

An interesting question is "can we reasonably automate things that people currently get paid less for than a basic income would be, or will we have to pay them more, and if we have to pay them more, what will be the economic effect of that?"

Yeah, though I tend to like breaking it into 'the end of Earth and our efforts to survive that end' and 'what happens to a society that's been through that trauma and their return home' split. The time jump really makes the jump feel more solid between book/acts 2 and 3 to me.

I expect they use metadata to put some sort of confidence/quality rating on the link though.

The primary source might not be metadata but once the connection is made between the two pieces of content metadata is probably used to evaluate it.
" A $1.54-million contract for a new content management system, where all government websites would be moved, was awarded to Adobe in 2015."

If government officials thought that a project of that scale can be done for $1.54 million by a company size of Adobe, then clearly they were negligent in their duty.

It can be done by much smaller group of talented developers in couple years, but I'd imagine it would still cost at least double what Adobe quoted.
It's one planet and one wildlife. Until that fact is noticed, there will be much conflict.
I think it's you who's missing the point.

A big reason for the current rise in real estate prices is urbanisation (centralisation of population in big urban centers) - e.g. London, NY, SF, and plenty other cities. (The other reason is foreign investments, but I'd argue the investment comes after the initial rise in prices, simply because real estate is perceived as a good investment opportunity.) This urbanisation is to a large extent driven by the fact that the most high-paying jobs are available in these cities, which consequently also increases the availability of lower-paying jobs. I.e. people move to cities to succeed/earn money.

If you remove the last implication - if people can earn a living without moving to big, overpopulated cities - then arguably the concentration of population would drop and the "bubble" would pop/deflate.

Running an algorithm chosen by an attacker with extensive resources is foolhardy, because you can never be certain that your resources are sufficient to detect a trap carefully hidden by their resources. We have a history of the NSA performing attacks and standards subversion. Why accept their potential trojan horse when you can have algorithms designed by those without that checkered past, keep up the same amount of scrutiny for potential trojan horses, and have decreased odds of a backdoor being present if the provider is more trustworthy?

It seems that taking motivations into account could lead you into a false sense of security, but that if you keep up the same amount of security and distrust known bad actors that you increase it.

Once you've acquired the content, the marginal cost of a view is very low. So it makes sense to get as many customers as possible even if that means charging a lot less per view. And the stability of subscription income is nice too. I'm sure there are lots of people who have a $10/mo subscription going for years who hardly use the service at all.
This isn't responsive to anything I wrote on this thread. I am interested in talking about cipher design, or about the technical intersection between trust and cipher design. I've already stipulated the politics of the story, which are deeply boring to me. You're addressing arguments I haven't made.
The blockers are that old content that people are willing to pay for is more expensive than you think (tons of competition right now), and that rights management is incredibly expensive and Byzantine even for the big companies. To take the simplest example, what do you do when an attractive property is owned by a company that went out of business, or that can't be reached? And that's just the easiest scenario.
