The problem with root certificates is there are so many of them installed by default with your operating system.

As of writing this message I currently have over 170 root certificates on my macOS. Some of them are from companies who are known to care very little about your privacy. There's even a "Federal Common Policy" certificate which is actually run by the US government [1]

If the government did MITM you're traffic, it would still show in the certificate chain. But how many people really check this every time they visit a site?

It's amazing watching the mainstream (sites like MarketWatch/Bloomberg) try to make sense of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I spent some of my career in finance and a market move of double-digit percent in anything apart from exotic stuff like peakload power futures is unheard of.
treating the problem as an inevitability is taking the easy way out.
To respond to your question:

> So let me ask you this, on what basis would you attempt to study or possibly falsify any UFO claim, or even find the truth behind it, if skepticism and science can't be trusted?

You would be unable to conclude anything about a UFO claim if your own methodology is not falsifiable. To believe any one tool of reasoning is infinitely powerful, strikes me as zealous and closed-minded.

By the way, your premise that "skepticism and science can't be trusted" is a straw man. I didn't say that.

Science is an epistemological philosophy coupled with a method of empirical testing. Just because a good scientist comes up with a theory, doesn't make his theory science.

If I observe something and I create a hypothesis, that hypothesis is not "science." It's an idea, a proposition. I have to exhaustively demonstrate its validity empirically, or (if I can't be exhaustive) express the limitations of its validity as demonstrated.

Thus, if I draw a conclusion that is later disproven, I failed somewhere in my reasoning. I drew a conclusion that, while perhaps supported by my evidence, was later shown to be an overreach.

If you support skepticism, you also have to be skeptical of science. A good scientist is a critical thinker, always trying to find holes in his own work and determine how he could disprove his own conclusions.

Since science is empirical, there isn't "better science" and "worse science." There is only a complete demonstration of a phenomenon or method, an incomplete such demonstration, and a totally theoretical conception.

"To the best of my knowledge" is a smart phrase to hear out of a scientist's mouth. It would be naive to assume that everything we believe to be correct, is actually correct. This has never been true in history, and it will not be true for the present set of scientific beliefs.

Thus, we should be skeptical about our own findings and beliefs. Scientists should be philosopher-experimenters, not zealots.
I'm aware of that, I was more thinking in the general case, as comes up in machine learning for example, where you have sizes like 128, 192, and odd shapes like 12x3x100x100 4-tensors, etc.

That is, generalized matrix types, not simply rotation matrix types or whatnot for special cases.
Nah, solutions to that class of problem have been around a while. BFT software for these type of faults are built into airplanes and other critical systems. Its use in blockchain is novel, and interesting, but not a brand new or first solution to obtainin Byzantine Agreement within a system or the associate algorithms involvedinvolved.

Lowest-common-denominator for linux and mac, mostly just "make it work if you notice it's broken". I have one file that's bash magic, and link it to everywhere it might be needed - bashrc, bash profile, etc. It's kind of monolithic, not great but at least 100% consistent for what ends up where, and avoids sourcing external stuff or requiring N different files to work. You'll see some of your pain in the repo history, change X to Y to make it osx or *nix compatible based on whichever is my primary platform.

Same goes for vim, just absolute basics for vimrc and a few very portable plugins and niceties hardwired. No package manager, just a bare directory.

Nor do you in python in many cases, it's type inference is quite good, certainly better than c++ or java, which is what I was speaking of.

Fascinating stuff there!!
I used to have this mindset, but now that I've got all my dot files on github I can get a machine set up pretty quickly. And for those times where I'm SSHing into a machine for whatever reason, using plain old vi hasn't been a problem. I typically do avoid overriding any of the main key bindings though so that I don't get confused when I do have to use plain vanilla vi.

The "no laws and/or regulations in KWC" is a bit of a myth though, HK police began patrolling the place in the early 70s, plus despite its legal status it benefited from HK's infrastructure, such as postal services or the electric grid. It was lawless mostly in its number of unlicensed dentists.

Wow! I will join the IRC channel right away. I always wanted to learn and explore Rust.
Looks great. Love the idea behind it, but...

There is at least one country (mine - Switzerland) which is not able to use software like yours. The problems are the current laws that force people and organizations to store physical copies of the documents (for several years). Electronic documents have no value in front of the law, which is why we have no choice but to do all of that offline, manually.

I've tried many archiving solutions, but non of them saved any bit of time. The one single, missing feature was an automatism to print a serial code (the electronic document ID) back on the original document. This way you could just scan it, print it, put it in a large box where you sort it by its ID - that simple. And this would even work if you would use spacers to split the documents on the scanning process.

Yep, there are definitely large companies using Algorithmia, and here's a quick summary of why it is important to them: https://algorithmia.com/enterprise ... short answer: increase server utilization from 20% -> 80% or higher, interoperably support heterogeneous languages & frameworks with no friction,
and give their data scientists an extremely fast (< 30 seconds) way to make their models available to the app-development side of the house.

For people developing only a few algorithms and using them only themselves, on in just a few apps, setting up a VM can definitely be a good option. As soon as significant scaling or breadth comes into play (for example, dozens to hundreds of algos in different languages and frameworks), the maintenance time/cost begins to become a very serious factor. And while setting up a VM to support your custom framework set isn't insurmountably complex, it still takes tens of minutes to hours. In many cases, models can be fully deployed and ready in under a minute on Algorithmia, merely by uploading the model file and listing the dependencies (60-second signup-to-deploy video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcsrPY0koyY )

As to specific algorithms, there are some awesome ones out there, but many are hosted by individual separate providers or, for the big providers, there may be just one variant of a solution. The beauty of Algorithmia is that it is a true marketplace: In the same way that GitHub allows any developer to provide and utilize code in any language (often with competing solutions to the same problems), Algorithmia allows developers to host algos in an interoperable marketplace, where there may be many possible solutions, some better in different situations, but they can all be utilized freely without changing anything but the name of the algo being called: https://algorithmia.com/algorithms/
> I'm not sure why content creators are feeling the need to go multi-media

I was around for BBSes and the early public internet, and I do appreciate text interfaces... that said, I've always felt there was something quite magical about graphics and audio. The web allows the author quite a bit of freedom in this regard, so it ends up pretty chaotic and uneven.

I find that graphics help to get a point across quickly, even for folks who are very comfortable with tons of text (most people in the world really aren't, and the language you prefer is likely not their first anyway so it's quite a bit of work for them)

It can be misused just like anything else, and tastes can be subjective. It's nice, then, that web browsers being at their core agents for the user, you can also get a fair bit of control on what you want to block by default, or have animations be click-to-play, and so on, which override the author's design.
There's a certain element of myopia in SV, I think, in that people there seem not to understand that places like Austin, Fairfax County, and the Rt 128 Corridor do in fact currently exist and are full of startups doing startup things.

This is OkCupid saying they will ditch usernames for real names, essentially because they did not like some usernames people came up with. What could possibly go wrong?

This sounds line a really bad idea, given that OkCupid knows way more deeply private stuff about their users than even Facebook. Their matching algorithm is based on users answering questions, which can be anything from "do you like the taste of beer?" to questions about pretty much any sexual preference out there. Will be interesting to see if users will want this associated with their real name...

Sure, I wouldn't refer to Edge as 'IE', but the notion that IE "doesn't exist" is equally silly. I think you'd be shocked to discover: Most corporate environments still default to IE, including if they use Windows 10.

This is mostly because of archaic things like Java applications which tend to insist on it, or even in some cases, dependencies on ActiveX controls in legacy software. I think everyone in the corporate space is counting the days until they can switch, but the light at the end of the tunnel still seems somewhat far off.

One thing worth mentioning is that an orchestra performance may resemble a rehearsal more than the audience is aware of. Even for a regularly scheduled performance of a major orchestra, there may be relatively little time to prepare for each performance. There will be a few players in the sections who have been hired as substitutes, with or without having been present at the rehearsals. A typical contract gives each player one or more performances or "services" that they can take as vacation.

For lower profile performances, such as pit orchestras or something thrown together for an event, the entire ensemble may consist of hired hands. A few hours before the show, someone may be looking at parts that they've just received as PDF's and hoping to hell that the conductor will get them through it. ;-)

Rather than having the conductor be optional, always having them on the stand creates a continuity between rehearsal and performance that may be unnecessary in some cases, but is a welcome insurance policy for the kinds of vicissitudes that Murphy's Law can unleash.

Disclosure: I've been one of those hired hands, not in classical orchestras, but in large jazz ensembles. I actually enjoy the challenge of coming into a situation with no preparation and having to figure things out on the spot. For jazz bands, somebody in the saxophones or trombones will often "conduct" through their body language, or even stand up and lead the band through a tricky passage.

That's one of the more convincing arguments I've seen.

I still hold though that Bitcoin was an early prototype and its value will sooner or later approach zero.

I do however think that blockchains and cryptocurrencies are a good idea and here to stay.

To build on your example:

Linux is here to stay but a number of the old companies, distros and packages are either gone or on life support and newer companies, distros and packages are making our wishes reality.

If we are talking about an individual contributor, who only contributes code, who doesn‘t talk to press or customers, then I agree, their political beliefs shouldn‘t get them fired.

But if someone represents an organisation, whether internally or externally, their political beliefs are relevant; their actions are reflected as actions of the company.

Humans don‘t differentiate between personal and official life as much as you think they should, so unfortunately companies and organisations can‘t ignore what their representatives do in their spare time.
