I have used ports (if that is what you are referring to) albeit on a mac. It is very basic, without any of the interesting properties that make nix interesting. It essentially feels like a slightly improved "download && ./configure && make && make install" script.
I'd like to see terminals start to mirror sort of how those interactive programming language environments work, like where data scientists have a notebook or workbook. Output should be collapsible, there should be snippets on the side, and most importantly, the history should be easily manageable and obvious to use/re-use.

It's possible a lot of terminals have the features I want already, in which case I have a discoverable-feature problem also. Haha.

He's said in the past about technology and software that "I just don't understand it" then he gives advice to people telling them not to invest.

Source for this please. This claim is repeated quite often, but the only 'source' I've been able to find is when Trump was being mobbed by yelling people(after a debate or a speech), some activist asked him about 'banning muslims', and Trump started talking about how we need to build a wall and secure our borders. Basically - Trump misheard or misunderstood the question, and people take that as him advocating for a general Muslim ban.
PSK isn't really a good solution, mostly because of scaling problems.

Today, all you need is a 32-byte ECDH private key, and a corresponding 32-byte public key. To talk to any of the billions of devices on the Internet securely, all you need is their 32-byte public key, and some means to verify that it is authentic (i.e. certificate authorities + certificate transparency). With this information, you can calculate a shared secret (or use a sealing API given only their public key, if you really want).

Total local storage: PKI overhead plus your own keys, under a few megabytes.

Doing PSK at scale means storing billions of 32-byte binary strings. One for each participant you intend to communicate with. They must also do this for every possible device they wish to communicate with, otherwise others can just eavesdrop on their conversations if keys are reused.

You've turned an O(n) space problem into an O(n^2) space problem.

If your n is small, you might still be tempted to make the move, but it will quickly become unmanageable as n grows.

Furthermore, if a devices loses their key, you must:

1. Generate/share a new keypair with n devices (which at Internet scale is billions), and

2. Do so in a way that doesn't open the door for backdoors, which probably requires digital signatures and therefore you're not actually getting rid of public-key cryptography

I think at Internet scale, we're still years away from having reliable post-quantum cryptography to even recommend let alone adopt, but that's going to be the way to go. Something something baby and bathwater.
No, that's a fundamental misunderstanding of what value is. And a manifestation of a common one!

Things don't have value because of how much it cost to create them. They have value because of how much people are willing to buy them for.

If you and I both produce spoons, and the spoons that we produce are identical in every way, but I have a more efficient manufacturing process and it costs me less to produce those spoons, that does not make your spoons worth "more." And, importantly for people who are drawn to this idea, we should not attempt to legislate that your spoons are worth "more" for fairness reasons -- this fundamental approach to value is exactly what creates incentives for me to find efficiencies in manufacturing.
Thanks for the straight response. I was afraid this might be the case.

I browsed around Waveshare.com and they seem to have posted "demo code" for the displays you linked before. I will try to muck around with them later, but it'd most likely be beyond my understanding of display drivers.

It'd be incredibly cool to have a cookbook for "Arduino + Tri-color E-Ink display for displaying text" - for beginners. If you think you could muster time & motivation to develop such instructions, I can help with (1) personal donation of $20, and (2) Sponsoring a domain and a basic web page describing the project for others to follow with donation options directed to you.
Understanding the technology isn't, necessarily. You just need to understand the value proposition, transaction fees, etc.

One can look at the balance sheets for TransferWise, and without understanding a single thing about HTTP, web services, SWIFT, or any other detail one can quickly get a sense that it is a viable business whose revenues exceed its costs, and whose prices are competitive.

Same is true here. Warren Buffet is famously skilled at precisely this sort of thing. Unfortunately for Bitcoin, he doesn't see the value.
I love how terminals are a universal tool that can do a lot with just the default GNU toolset.

I hate how I can't choose the caret position with my mouse when using a terminal emulator. Nothing seems designed to allow this. Sometimes there's too much input and using the arrow keys or HOME/END gets tedious.
The whole transaction can happen in a matter of hours tho. Bitcoin isn't that volatile. And you have to realize that is a means where there was previously none. Like it's not like the people doing this might have that many options.

That being said, I've also heard of western companies using Bitcoin to transfer money cause it's cheaper than via bank.
>Anything related to mouse support, . . . are anti-features

How does mouse support harm you?

The change I'd most like to see to Apple's Terminal.app is that when I want make an edit to the middle of a command line that has not been sent to the shell yet, I can use the pointing device to move the cursor to the location of the intended edit. How would that change harm you?

Why isn't it enough that you are able to work the way you want to work?

Why are you in addition advocating preventing a different way of working that is preferred by many people?

(Most of the time, I use an emacs mode written by myself to issue command lines to a shell, and that mode allow me to use the pointing device to move the cursor, but when I've introduced a bug into the emacs-lisp code that I maintain, I have to use Terminal.app to recover from the bug. I also have to use Terminal.app when setting up a new Mac.)

> Sending small to large quantities of wealth worldwide quasi instantly and with small fees does have a tremendous value.

Last I checked Bitcoin transactions are frequently prohibitively expensive for microtransactions if the transaction clears at all. OTOH I can send someone in my own country money from my bank account and expect it to arrive within a business day (or less).

Right now it doesn't look like BTC is a good medium for transferring money. It's immutable and publicly verifiable and maybe that's good for some kinds of transactions but I guess most people would raise privacy concerns over that (yes, you can get around that but you basically have to apply money laundering techniques).

You're completely wrong on this entire thing. The ban is not about values, it is about not being able to acceptably vet who is entering the country when they originate from certain areas.

And to your point, even though it is an incorrect analysis of the situation - what makes you think that people just do what is inherently good and right? Prisons exist in every country for a reason.
Somewhat true.

I use abbreviations of several different long sentences with random characters added in random positions.

To me this is far more secure than trusting a single authoritative source with 10 different random character strings that I have no real ownership of, and can all easily be stolen (or lost) at once.
He has a different worldview. He's made his money on old way of investing. Some of it applies, some doesn't. He would not be the first successful person to be wildly wrong about a new thing.
Yes, you are right; Germany should be included, as today Airbus is a consolidation of the European aerospace industry.

My memory was clouded by the highly publicized initial wiring harness problems. The England and France teams were using CATIA Version 5, while the Germany and Spain teams were using CATIA Version 4.

For the other children posts regarding my comment about the military industrial complex, I meant to imply that by being able to build the A380 Airbus as a corporation increased it's own system wide capabilities. Boeing enjoys this same benefit, which ranges from both technological capabilities as well as financial advantages.
Energy expenditure alone cannot guarantee value. I can think of plenty of ways I could expend huge amounts of energy that wouldn't create value.
It's only very recently that he's started investing in tech stocks at all. And he's never on the leading edge. He's always been very clear about this. He doesn't want to invest in things that are bleeding edge and that he doesn't understand, and he's proud to say it.
Trust isn't binary. You need to trust a corporation to use any of their products that aren't solely disconnected goods that can be independently tested. That trust isn't absolute; it's relative. And that's my point: my trust in Amazon is slightly higher than Google.

Excellent points, and I agree that the switch in the market certainly was a large component, and probably the larger component. I still think that Airbus simply could not not do the A380, just as a defensive move and hedge, and that it may have served a commercial purpose even if it didn't manage to be profitable on its own.

> constrained slots [..] certainly money [..]

Are slots primarily a money problem? My understanding was that the constraint is not so much their expense, but simply non-availability. For example, one of the most valuable assets of Air Berlin apparently is their slots[1]. AFAICT, these were/are not available on the open market, they get doled out by some mechanism.

What I'm responding to:

> Having to say "OK, Google" instead of just "Google" (or "Alexa") is a deal-breaker.
I'm sure this is a VERY complex issue. But two things come to my mind.

1 - Maintenance and tooling for the 747 series has been around for a long time; so moving to 380 would likely be a much bigger deal in that regard than moving to the latest 747 variant.

2 - Fewer airport options for 380 vs 747 means less flexibility of how the fleet is deployed.
Yeah, that's like saying that a pound of shredded bills has value. Like, yeah, you can trade it, and yeah, value was spent to create it, but you can't get that back.

It's not like buying bitcoin gives you back electricity.
I don't think that he suggested that he was "physically" incapable of understanding Bitcoin investment.

But, I mean, sure. People get old and start to have difficulty comprehending things that get added to the world long, long after they built their mental model of the world. This happens even to smart people. Even to singularly smart people. I don't know if it's happened to Buffet or not, but if he lives long enough, it will.
Bitcoin is built off of two cryptographic primitives. They implement rights/powers in software.

Here's a good example to grasp the idea: instead of asking the government not to read your emails (petitioning for the right of privacy) implement symmetric cryptography. You achieve the right instead of asking for it. Each cryptographic primitive does so and they can be connected up in ways that achieve more rights (Proof-of-Work>>Mining>>Cryptocurrency)

In general forward security involves generating a new key for each conversation with Diffie-Hellman or similar.

According to https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/5610/diffie-hellm..., Diffie-Hellman is not post-quantum secure, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersingular_isogeny_key_exch... is a DH alternative that is.
I think the biggest roadblock to developing the next steps of bitcoin that could more easily demobstrate this value is the influx of FOMO money bogging down the system and making it less reliable as a stable, fast, inexpensive system. Maybe this is even a necessary stage, but I'd like it to be over: it's the least interestinhnpart of the social and technologic advances offered by crypto.

https://www.fredericjacobs.com/blog/2016/04/07/qc-axolotl/ might be a good place to start answering this question.

If you can break the ECDH, you can figure out the key that was calculated. However, if other unknown data (e.g. past ECDH outputs) is hashed together to generate the key (like Signal does, as a very rough description), it's only post-quantum secure if the adversary ever misses a single message.

Other than weird saved-by-the-bell corner cases, the answer is "No".

The bag already outlasted her last iPhone. It will surely last a few more.

I come from a small city in France, it's not uncommon to see poor children [of struggling parents receiving social benefits] having iPhones or $500 shoes. That's in the order of a month rent.

I was in the US Navy on a fast-attack submarine. As a submariner, we all have a very strong brotherhood/sisterhood due to the intense conditions and rigorous training we go through to become submarine qualified, and so in that regard I identify with my military service very much.

Health insurance is like driver insurance, not car insurance.

Health costs are borne by the community in A&E if people don't pay for it themselves. That's why a mandate is fair from a social contract perspective. Some people might prefer a state that leaves poor people to die on the side of the road after an accident, but not the majority.

(FWIW, in the UK, driver insurance is attached to the car (or possibly multiple cars) and is described as car insurance colloquially. Car insurance may or may not include property insurance, at two levels: damage you're not responsible for (fire and theft), or damage that you are (an accident you caused).)

I think this great advice for teaching, but I'd stress that Javascript should be included as well.

HTML and CSS are great for learning because everything they change will adjust the webpage instantly. This is the web's biggest teaching advantage: insanely fast iteration time. To folks learning this speed feels like a super power. (And when they try iOS/Android programming, they will miss it)

Where Javascript comes in, is it helps tie that fast iteration into a place where variables and functions can exist. Functions are especially hard to grasp, so starting those pretty early matters a lot. Simply put: if you don't understand functions, then all the HTML/CSS in the world won't save you!
