> society and experts are more and more unable to make something new by themselfs

Are you sure that's not just your view of some specific group you know? People are definitely able to learn. Experts even more so - but they choose their discipline already.

Anyway, I'm not sure why this is a response to "here's an example of people whose income is directly related to the quality of their crypto implementation, see how they fail".
I feel like everything I do with ffmpeg is the hard way.

It is really an amazing piece of technology, but whoah does it have some gotchas.

I don't notice anything in your post supporting those beliefs, aside from Intel having a motivation to make them true.

Why Understanding Space Is So Hard (2016)
I've been reading some New Realist philosophy recently (Maurizio Ferraris). The basic idea is that although we don't have direct access to reality (Kant), we are constrained by it in ways that give us insight into it and it provides affordances for us that further reveal its nature as something independent of our perceptions and inferences. Sort of an anti-Foucault outlook but informed by Deriddean deconstruction.
I think you're standing pretty far outside the mainstream of academic cryptography when you suggest that covert channels are the "the same thing" as side channel coerced extraction of secrets, but then, maybe all the academic cryptographers are misrepresenting and slandering the pioneers too.
Thank you! I would love to discuss my idea with you, when you have the time.
For this one I dig into the linked articles because I think that the “law” itself is not exactly actionable. As a matter of fact it actually concentrated on logo design. The way I interpreted it for interface design is that if you need to present a lot of detail, you need to give it appropriate space. For example if you have a graph with many curves on it, people will be able to see the general trend but they will not be able to make out individual differences.
It’s interesting how we use individual-inspired predicates when refering to the complex identity “Google” in this thread — “Google wants ...” “Google should ...” —- would Google get mad at you and stop talking to you when you do something bad? I guess it would.

Who is Google? The alignment of the agency, benefit, desires, ... seems to lie among various “actual” humans, it’s a distributed system across human identities much like its actual software is distributed across servers.

I keep wondering whether interacting with it while assuming it to be motivated in similar ways that individuals would be is a sensible approach in general, and how we have constructed it to be so given our incentive and preference systems (buying products, paying for services, etc.) It’s very much a mirror of the human self: self centered, attached to its ego.
Writing for a close friend.

When he was 15 (about 15 years ago), he had the chance to do a lot of damage. He roamed in sites that store credit card information in an Access database (they didn't have PCI back then). He roamed in servers that have everyone under a www-data account and "partition" people with FTP accounts, so a script that allows you to traverse the .. dir would get everyone completely screwed. He used to ship items to himself. He got someone fired from his programming job because of his shenanigans.

Oh my gosh, he would have been so screwed if anyone ever made a big deal of anything he did.

But somehow that friend of mine didn't make the news - He went unnoticed. He went on with his life, and now he has a relatively normal life and does well for himself and everyone around him.

From his story, I always have the belief that adolescents will change, if they are forgiven and shown the way by seniors.

> About 95% of the world (not counting the US) has a lower per capita income than the poorest US cities.

Sure if the average salary in Vietnam is $150/month then yes per capita income is going to to be lower than the poorest cities in US. $150/month is a different story in NYC or SF. It would have to be adjusted for purchasing power or maybe just looking at poverty rates.
Then why do we need UBI?

I work remotely. I moved someplace cheap within the US. I am still struggling for various reasons, but I currently live like you describe.

So if it can be done without UBI, why do we need UBI?

Either we need UBI because you can't get paid work and you need to live off UBI, or you can get paid work, in which case we don't need UBI. Please pick one
Agree with props! nit: Maxime is a boy's name, so his mates.
It might have something to do with a lack of vitamins/minerals, as for most things. Plus, as you get older, your absorption of vitamins/minerals is weaker, too, so you'd need more, even if you consumed the right amount of everything every day (most likely you did not, because it's impossible to get everything your body needs just from food ever day).

You can get their MacBook Retina with low TDP cpu's already (A1534 model). Reality is - usage experience is hardly acceptable, everything is way too slow.

Intel seems to be way above everyone in pushing performance/TDP. Apple might have comparable CPU's in iPhones, but they are only comparable for first 10 seconds - then they overheat and throttle. If we put good cooling on their CPU's then you have TDP in 15+ watt class which means poor battery life regardless of who made the CPU (Intel or Apple).

The only reason why all of this works with iOS in a first place is super insane power awareness on OS level: as soon as an app is not in view it basically stops almost all work (except for background handlers), and also their browser capabilities are very limited. To achieve 20h+ class of performance on laptops we either must accommodate the same principles (but hey that will probably kill almost any background web apps, like soundcloud) or invent better battery tech :(
"high quality home care would really help."

I am in complete agreement. Not only would high quality home care help, it is, largely, the only thing that helps.

"I would choose hospital care over home care any day of the week..."

I think that's a very bad heuristic that is widespread in the US - across a broad spectrum of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. If you just have the flu a visit to the hospital is useless at best. At worst, that secondary bacterial infection you're (rightly) worried about is alive and well at the hospital. Hospitals are breeding grounds of such infections.

"I think you are being too directly logical and not thinking systemically."

I am indeed thinking systematically - as I have witnessed emergency rooms full of kids with colds and flu who will be given comfort and/or placebos and who are racking up healthcare costs and displacing actual emergencies. And then there's the exposure to bacterial infections ...
One might ask why it is that Project Zero's 90 day disclosure rule was waived for Intel in this case and the were apparently given an indefinite amount of time to do nothing about it.

Why is it that if the disclosure (after it was found by someone else) was scheduled for early January that everyone was still not ready and the patches still aren't released and they are still buggy and broken?

It is clear from the fact that Google broke their own disclosure rules that they were colluding with Intel to a certain extent to manage the fallout from this.
> What exactly is the "performance" you're talking about? How do you define it?

You can see that that was precisely my question, right? Did you mean to reply to the parent comment? The article says the reason to use C++ over rails or node or another scripting language is "performance", the parent comment to mine said that the performance difference would be "notable". I'm asking exactly what you're asking -- what is performance, what is notable?

On top of that, I did define performance loosely in my comment -- as something that is noticeably faster to the user. If a user running Chrome can feel the difference on a site, and the only difference is the language it was written in, then I could buy that C++ gives better "performance". I suspect it's rather difficult to write a custom C++ web server and make it load or run any faster, from the point of view of the person on the other end, than a generic rails/flask/nodejs web site, for most sites.
Intel still has the advantages that allow them to screw up and survive.

1. Process knowledge and manufacturing capacity. You can buy from others only as much as they have manufacturing capacity. Only real threat to Intel comes from combined volume of GlobalFoundries, TSMC, Samsung and UMC. Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, ARM and Qualcomm can get past Intel only trough these companies.

2. Profit margins. Intel makes 60 percent profit margins, AMD struggles from decade to decade. That's not a coincident. It's the direct result of pricing decisions by Intel. Whenever AMD gets ahead Intel in uP technology, Intel has always the option of cutting profit margins and prevent AMD from gaining more market share.

I'm also working with ffmpeg and am wondering what I'm doing wrong. I have a HTML5 canvas animation editor, and I use node-canvas to convert the canvas to images at 30 fps and then attach audio at the correct times. ffmpeg takes too long...

There are Facebook bots, Twitter, Amazon bots (like, bots that generate book contents), even Youtube bots with (sometimes super-weird) machine-generated videos.

BTW they do get clicks, so this is not some AI research moonshot, it is more like a little cottage industry popping up.
I was interested in your service and decided to create an account. I stopped when I read your "Terms of Service" and noticed this provision:

Also node is memory-safe and Imagemagick isn't. Somewhat surprisingly to me, the two dependencies (get-pixels for reading and gif-encoder for writing) are both written in pure JS, meaning that using this solution is vastly more responsible than using Imagemagick, if you're handing it untrusted input images.
To calm your soul don't forget Hanlon's razor.

Since they're growing so fast you probably just fell through the cracks, some idiot pressed the wrong button, something about your account was misspelled, your entry got caught between one version and another, or some other tiny mistake that exploded out beyond all reason because they're still a young company and growing quickly.

Now, if they're worth their salt they'll eventually make it right by you, but you might have to escalate it a little more before they budge.

The implicit idea is that the courts uphold the letter of the law (an unnatural death is always somehow murder, prosecute impoverished people with a blanket policy of lenghty jail terms for any manslaughter at a minimum) without considering the spirit of the law (maybe some murders should be counted as self-defense, given that the constant ambient background noise of implicit corruption and disorganized chaos creates an environment of death by a thousand small cuts, making it profoundly difficult to obey the rules perfectly while keeping one’s head above the proverbial water).
I wouldn't say that. One of the main ways flu can kill you is secondary bacterial infection (e.g. pneumonia), and we now have antibiotics for that.

> And the notion of a secure financial system where if you don't move your money for a year your whole account is confiscated seems rather unappealing!

This is why conventional money has a low amount of inflation. It incentives you to invest your money instead of putting it under a mattress.
This looks like a normal postfix to infix notation converter. It transforms "abc++" to "a+b+c". You can call it a decompiler for a very simple stack machine. But it neither accounts for branches nor loops.
I believe other factors are at play, neither the anti-smoking campaigns or the affordability of the cigarettes is representing the data. A mixture of contraband, alternatives and other factors are at play, unfortunately Greece is going to battle cigs for a long time unless drastic measures are taken.
Fliffr is a previous brand of our company, we used the same ToS and obviously didn't replace all references. Thanks for spotting that mistake.

Why or Why not?

Nobody can retain the material that way. Each thing you learn has to be attached to other concepts you already have, and your skills build on one another.

Nobody teaches Peano's axioms of arithmetic to kindergarteners; they're still learning how to identify shapes, to compare quantities. When they eventually learn even the simplest proofs, they'll build on the basis of careful attention to detail that they learned while mastering basic arithmetic.

Nobody teaches general relativity on the first day of college-level physics class. Students are still learning calculus at that point; even if they already had a calculus course, this is their first opportunity to apply it.

And nobody teaches the fundamental proofs of calculus on the first day of calculus class; you can use sloppy language like "infinitesimals" to establish a good intuition for how to use derivatives and integrals.

If you tried introducing this material from the bottom up, it wouldn't take. But if I'm wrong, sure, go try it and see how it works.
I believe that this project would also run in the browser (via browserify). Do Imagemagick and your shell work in wasm yet?
I didn't say he was a socialist, I said he expressed socialist ideas. For example his calls for universal healthcare and free college.

As for Trump, the discussion was specifically about what people can _say_. Trump said things other politicians didn't dare say, and by doing so he made a big impact on the political discourse. As for his agenda, in a country of 325 million even small differences between republican candidates are really significant.
As always there is some truth from his piece. What would SV do, when their competing edge is waning? How do SV keep its perks when employers discover they can do the same thing elsewhere with less money? The realization should be, software is not a novel technique it uses to be, more people and more countries can do it now possibly cheaper. To justify the money, SV needs to do better. Whether it is to take the perks away and work longer, or find a new competing edge, only time would tell.
After relating an anecdote, that comment mentions Carol Dweck's work on growth mindset: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Dweck
"In a fixed mindset students believe their basic abilities, their intelligence, their talents, are just fixed traits. They have a certain amount and that's that, and then their goal becomes to look smart all the time and never look dumb. In a growth mindset students understand that their talents and abilities can be developed through effort, good teaching and persistence. They don't necessarily think everyone's the same or anyone can be Einstein, but they believe everyone can get smarter if they work at it.[3]
This is important because (1) individuals with a "growth" theory are more likely to continue working hard despite setbacks and (2) individuals' theories of intelligence can be affected by subtle environmental cues. For example, children given praise such as "good job, you're very smart" are much more likely to develop a fixed mindset, whereas if given compliments like "good job, you worked very hard" they are likely to develop a growth mindset. In other words, it is possible to encourage students, for example, to persist despite failure by encouraging them to think about learning in a certain way."

As a previous smoker, I could get by without eating much (intake less than 500 calories)

Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels settling provides a similar sensation to hunger, that would be satisfied for a short period with a cigarette.
You start confusing this with hunger and default to wanting another smoke.

I could go 16+ hours without eating anything and thinking I am hungry

Also you notice with ex-smokers they tend to gain weight because they are satisfying this sensation by eating more
That would be true if they were measuring sales numbers, but they're asking people if they smoke, which includes those who smoke contraband cigarettes.

There are a fair number of people buying Apple Laptops that use them for virtualizing Windows. I'd expect that a transition to ARM would only be able to happen for some of the lineup. It couldn't be across the board as it wouldn't run Windows.

Does this model DIRECTLY account for the research from this paper:

Last time I checked, most myopia research didn't and sidelined it although it explains so much, I consider it an extremely underrated paper.
It is a good thing in countries that are fairly low crime. In places where the criminals operate with impunity, we need a bit more reactive violence. If the police are useless, criminals should at least be worried about being summarily executed during their attacks on other citizens. Instead, it's backwards. Law abiding citizens have no recourse.

Civil liberties aren't worth much when you can't freely travel and live in the first place. Sure, a few innocents will lose out with an abridged justice system. But that's already happening at a high rate.

And sure, they could also just turn the country around. Get foreign countries to run ministries, get a whole new police force, increase resources to the justice system 10-fold. But tell me what's more probable, that, or just taking a hard stance, have swift summary justice and giving citizens strong defence rights?

The exercises are easy to try and have almost immediate (temporary) positive effect. They work for some people. There isn't an economic incentive to fund studies to determine why they don't work in others, since this could hurt various revenue streams. Standard big pharma vs. wellness dilemma.

I think "examples in the media are not representative" is exactly it. I regularly hang out with grad students at UC Berkeley, which I suppose is the perceived center of American liberalism. As far as I can tell, nobody's apoplectic about that kind of stuff here. Yeah, sometimes people get angry when the university appropriates valuable funding to invite unpopular, rabble-rousing demagogues to speak against the wishes of the student body — but that level of public protest has always been present, here and on other campuses across the nation. And in any case, there's plenty of students grumbling about this kind of behavior whenever it happens.

Somehow, the media spins "a small group of people wants a place to occasionally discuss very sensitive issues" to "SAFE SPACES HAVE TAKEN OVER AMERICAN CAMPUSES". I dunno, maybe there are one or two campuses that are especially bad in this regard. But I can't help but roll my eyes at this kind of conservative pearl-clutching.
