Question: Is there a "smart device" in existence which can function well without requiring a remote agent on the backend who watches you? Where do I find such a thing?
Thats Arch and its AUR basically.
When I read the OP, since it was talking about the fascination of Italians with American culture at the time, I was surprised it didn't include a bit about the barrage of Italian covers of English/American songs from the time.

For example, besides the song you were looking for, Celentano himself did a cover for Stand by Me (Pregherò), which is a really weird Christian-themed take on the original.

"Buffering that’s even faster than real time."

What? Buffering AT real time isn't buffering at all. Storing data faster than real time is the definition of buffering, no? I can't make sense of that statement.
The problem with crusaders on either side is that they conveniently ignore or deny the trade-offs. Advertising based business models come with certain dangers and annoyances. Paying for content and services directly also comes with dangers and annoyances.

The reason why I don't use ad-blockers (yet) is that I fear complete loss of anonymity and even greater censorship powers for governments if everything becomes a pay service. Payments are the most tightly regulated and monitored thing on the planet. At the same time you're exposed to credit card fraud and identity theft.

Modern GPS satellites don't know how to do Selective Availability, this feature was not being used, so implementing it in spacecraft (which is not free) made no sense and new birds aren't fitted with it.

Newer models of GPS satellite implement a new variant of COSPAS-SARSAT instead, unlike a Geostationary satellite they pass over the whole Earth's surface, so they can see your rescue beacon from anywhere, and unlike the weather satellites used in the past to cover the whole surface they have powerful transmitters in the right frequency range already, so they could reply.

Today (in testing only) this means faster rescue after triggering a beacon. Search and Rescue resources will know where you are (often to within metres) just minutes or even seconds after you activate the beacon, an improvement on prior models (10+ minutes on most of the surface, up to hours nearer the poles) and eventually new beacons will be able to tell you that rescue is coming perhaps with short text or coded messages e.g. "Mountain patrol on their way. ETA 48 minutes. Stay where you are if safe."
Considering the rich tradition of Bulgarian vocal music, this is hilarious. I've been fan of Bulgarian choral music since I heard the state choir 25 years ago.

There's a famous quote by Linus Torvalds: "Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships."

Even when prototyping, I find that nailing down the data structures from the get-go makes subsequent code-writing much easier. A lot of times, the code kind of falls out naturally when you've figured out the data structures you're working with.

Strongly-typed languages give you a nice way to define data structures.
For those interested in listening to Italian music I’d add Mina to the list, of course, Ornella Vanoni, Mia Martini (whom I’ve discovered only recently, this song where she sings along with Vanoni is pure musical joy: https://youtu.be/TjMUPdnNjsw) and last but especially not least Luigi Tenco (if you google his name you’ll find quite an interesting life-story, and his lyrics for “Ciao amore” resonate to an almost middle-aged guy like me even today, 50+ years after they’ve been written, as for the first time in my life I’m seriously thinking about immigrating). There was a time (from the ‘60s up to the early ‘90s) when Italian music was ruling over much of Europe (just go to an Adriano Celentano YT video and you can see fan comments written in Russian, German, Spanish etc), it was glorious.

Given that an individual or state could implement such an attack, I would imagine it wise to test the impacts of an GPS jam on the otherwise normal running of society. How many delivery drivers don't know how to get anywhere within a GPS?

BeOS did surprisingly little with its tab titlebars. It couldn't even automatically stack them. If you wanted to use them as actual tabs you had to hold down shift and manually move each individual tab to the right spot along the top of the window, and then manually move the windows on top of each other to sorta simulate pages being stacked. No sort of "drag these windows together and we'll turn them into tabbed pages" functionality which would have been convenient.
They're similar but separate. You could jam just GPS, or you could jam all three and still call it in common speech as "jamming GPS".
I guess it's the same as IT switching off a data centre to test its resiliency. It's a bit blunt but that's the only way all sort of unsuspected dependencies surface.
I still think a awful lot of things are left to do that are not moonshots.

Phones physically break a lot. There should be better ways than rubber cases or glued rings to help people not drop the gigantic phones we have now.

Wearable integration is limited and uninspired. Aside from bulky watches and bracelets nothing got attention.

Bluetooth connectivity still seems like a dumpster fire, things like airpod are coming, but it’s far from a solved problem in my opinion.

In the same vain communication among devices owned by the smae person is still primitive. We now have computers, phones, tablets, speaking cylinders, NAS and media serveds and short of buying every single one of them from the same company they won’t speak together.

I thought they also relied on highly precise maps hence gps would matter. Though gps is unreliable if you need to be on the right lane of the road so I assume they have fallback mechanisms.
What about the crazy idea of nationalizing this? If it's a cartel and very hard to open to competition, and reap the benefits of centralization and not only the disadvantages.

Why?
GPS jamming doesn't break maps on the phone, or the compass on the phone.
So no need for paper maps or old-school compass.
You just don't get the "where-am-I" functionality of the maps, but you can move the screen yourself, just like in the old maps.
The ability just to swap in the cuFFTW header for FFTW3's making calls execute on GPU (even though it doesn't give the best performance) is also nice for beginners.
I'm not smug, I think the workers in the US get a shitty deal. It's a major reason I wouldn't want to work there. (The same reason I wouldn't work in the games industry in the UK).
No, you simply write your app in a language that does not force you to write millions of lines of code, a language like Python, for example. I don't understand what any of this has to do with 'web-based' vs whatever though. Yes most systems I tend to work on these days have browser-based front ends, but that's usually a trivial part of the system.

About deployments:

The fast majority of 'web-focused' apps I work on ships in a single docker container. The customer, another department in the big multinational I currently work for, deploys it on one of their docker hosts where it lives behind a nginx emperor with many - up to 30 other vassals. It happens automatically once a week on the release schedule. OK, these are usually trivial little CRUD things - but not always. Bigger systems tend to get their own VM or et of VM's.

Every other third party vendor product I had to deal with in the last 5 years came in either a set of docker containers, a pre-built VM, or both.

One thing that annoys me on macOS is that "set -o vi" stops tab completion from working when logging in as root.

$ sudo -i

That doesn't affect other languages with similar semantics.

Not even alternative Python implementations for that matter.
Gaussian processes are only one implementation of Bayesian optimization- afaict, you have created another using a different prior which has nicer computational properties, mostly due to assuming the function has little global structure, a reasonable one for tricky optimization problems. I wonder how it would compare to a GP approximation using a space-partitioning data structure, only considering nearby points when calculating sample utility.
Except this one actually exists. Beetoken is just an ICO without any working product.

Ted Nelson’s published papers on computers and interaction, 1965 to 1977
For the record, Rita Pavone had a massive success with that song. The translation removed all the original socialist themes, and ended up being a perfect fit for her image: a grumpy, androgynous teenager ready to explode. She was a prototype of rebellious female adolescent, with short hair and an angry mouth, which was fairly scandalous on Italian media at the time. She often played opposite to Gianni Morandi, who was at the other end of the spectrum - the spotless good-hearted kid that every mother would want.

My Italian parents were slightly incredulous when I found out about the actual origins of “If I had a hammer”. For them it was just a fun and unthreatening mainstream hit they used to dance to, and had never heard the original.
That would be like shareholders of Pepsi drinking Coca Cola or Apple shareholders using Samsung tablets.

Why would you think they don't do that? The only Apple shareholder I know uses a Samsung laptop and phone. Being a shareholder has nothing to do with your personal preferences.
Then consider not being able to get a job with a stable employer and pay off your loans. Being pedantic about whether or not you're forced is not constructive, when there obviously exists a power imbalance that is causing a massive rift in society.

UK is 28 days paid leave (includes public holidays).

...although, under the current government many employers have moved workers to be contractors on "zero hours contracts", so you're uber driver, food delivery guy, amazon packing guy etc have basically none of these rights.

On the other hand, if you are software dev you are either employed and have the 28 days - or you are a contractor, less rights but paid more than the permies.

Some IT contractors line up something before their current one ends, or there will be a gap while you find something.

> I just received official confirmation from NASA that IMAGE is indeed alive! See Below!

> Engineers at GSFC have acquired the suspect S-band source using the 4m CTA (Compatibility Test Antenna) here at GSFC (.jpg attached and no I’m not in the picture). They acquired the signal while the target was on ascent at about 2RE. Center frequency (CF) was between 2272.478 and 2273.418. The difference between IMAGE documented CF of 2272.5Mhz can be attributed to expected Doppler. Subcarriers are visible as well 1.7Mhz from CF as expected. The signal strength was oscillating. Plots will be forthcoming. The oscillation is not unexpected given IMAGE’s loss of spin balance.

You can keep your hands in typing position on the keyboard while performing these operations. Using the arrow keys or backspace means you need to move to another part of the keyboard which interrupts your flow.
So you want people who can't afford credit cards with nice rewards, to subsidize those who do?

Also, you are not privy to the contracts between merchants and card processors, so how would you know? And there may have been a law passed specifically forbidding card networks from forcing the same pricing.

Edit:. Cash and debit are allowed to be different price than credit:

I'm hearing people say that "that's impossible" or "it's weird", but I've used this method for ~2 years now. It has become muscle memory.
From my understanding, this should be possible by setting the sys.settrace hook. It would slow down every function call, but I'm surprised it looks like nobody has done it yet.
Your fingers stay near home row so you can type faster. Cursor keys are way to far off and differ very much between different keyboards.
Another valid metaphor though is that video of the leaves can be decoded the same way video of a speaker would. The analogy works either way.
That's a lot of wasted energy.

I think you may underestimate the scaling of global optimization with dimension. You split each simplex into n+1 smaller ones in n dimensions, so even in 99 dimensions, the number of areas to consider grows as 100^k! After only a few subdivisions, the regions may be still pretty large, but suddenly you're dealing with thousands or millions of reasonable candidates. If your optimization problem is particularly easy, you might manage it, but in tricky cases it just cannot scale. This isn't a flaw in your algorithm - global optimization of non 'nice' functions in high dimensions is essentially impossible for the same reasons. Luckily, turns out that in a lot of cases you don't need a global maximum, only something good enough, so the NN folks aren't bothered.
Is it really a problem to wait an hour or two for renting a place?
I hear what you are saying, but it isn’t actually that complicated. Granted, it does get more complicated with larger sums as risk and security requirements increase. That said, if you are an adult, maybe it is time to not rely on a third party to be between you and other economic actors. We don’t do this with information, why do we do it with financial information (who holds what wealth and owes whom how much).
Why would you put all that power towards denying business? All money is good, figure out the ethics afterward seems to be their MO.
Nothing usually happens.
Two-party computation is really amazing. If anybody here is interested in a more "do-it-yourself" approach to garbled circuits, I described an open-source, Python-in/Garbled-Verilog-out toolchain on my GitHub.

The example shows that you can play a game or Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock over the 'net and know if you have won without telling the opponent your move. (And without a trusted 3rd party, of course)

The so called "buffalax effect" (from the username of the guy who made the first such video). There are a few such videos, in different Indian languages.

I'm a Tamil guy, and interestingly enough I can see the effect when it's a Hindi song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLpROhIg9eA, possibly nsfw wording), and understand how they hear it as those English words. But when it's a Tamil song like the one you linked, I can't hear the English words at all, however much I try to shut down the Tamil-hearing part of my brain.
Be careful not to automate the fun out of life
Judging from my experience with other well-polished PR pieces from universities, I would expect only the "oscillating above the finger tips" parts to be real time. The more advanced examples were only shown statically and thus were probably like long-shutter images.

I wouldn’t say it “ruled”, but there was a presence. It went both ways: Italian music would routinely adapt and translate songs from other countries, something pretty rare these days.

Some Italian acts are still massively popular outside the country: Laura Pausini, Eros Ramazzotti... but the industry currently focuses more on the Spanish and SouthAmerican markets.

I've seen some providers like Gmail already using MTA STS records and subdomains, but they don't read the records of my domains yet. Still it's an interesting solution.

I'm disappointed in the mailing lists software and configuration "in the wild". Refusing to just change From address and put the original From into Reply To and breaking DMARC (that I've seen some operators just claim "is badly designed") is a very sad state of the world.

I've read JMAP spec but was not pleased with the RPC style design. I've seen "why isn't it REST" and the FAQ says REST is not mobile friendly. Still, reading all these Foo/get methods looks bad to my eyes (sorry, personal preference) an I don't see how it could improve caching (as the FAQ claims).

I always ask this for "x in crypto", and I'll ask it again: What important problem are you solving with this? Or, put differently: Why is this significantly (i.e. 10x) better than existing solutions?

PS: If my stance is not clear from my comment: I think most crypto-based startups are not solving a real problem, just adding crypto to an existing problem.
It is not possible to move funds unless you have the private key, or if you have broken the cryptographic scheme the key uses.

Since the funds have moved (visible on the overall distributed blockchain system, where everything is public), either of the two scenarios must have happened. It really is that simple, there are no other "moving parts" or "possible human error" in other parts of the system here.
How does one formulate what constitutes a correct response to discovering a fallacy in an argument?
