Hopefully the Canadian government will reclassify their software as "dual use" (technology that can be used for perfectly benign purposes, but also abused) and regulate its exportation.

That kind of software shouldn't be used as a tool of censorship.
Doesn't SZ also? The number of expats in all of China is only about what Tokyo has, so I guess it really depends on what you mean by "large."
Unfortunately it is a poor rule set in general.

If the entire stock market P/E goes below 4, you could use it. However when a single stock goes that low it implies that somebody knows something. Don't invest in a company with a P/E below 4 if they are going out of business. (the obvious example that probably never existed: a y2k company in 1999 - they are probably making a ton of money this year, but next year they will go out of business).

There are also "cyclical companies". They have a long history of having boom and bust years, it is well known that you buy when the P/E is high - the bust years when prices are low - and sell when the P/E gets low - those are the boom years when prices are high - but the boom will not last.

There are many other company specific things that can get in the way of any formula.

Markup related to cost of popcorn is irrelevant.

It's revenue related to cost of keeping the theater running that matter.

Even if they sold $1 popcorn for $10, it wouldn't matter much if they needed $20 per head to pay for the theaters fixed and running costs.
This is why you don't withdraw. Just arbitrage back the other direction.

A lot of the hate from me and others is precisely the opposite - it doesn't solve problems. It doesn't bring novel solutions to the table. In fact anything at all blockchain related seems to be putting the cart before the horse. Every time, people start from blockchain and look for somewhere to crobar it in.

In the end it's just another data structure. It may have its niche, but as yet it seems to be hype over substance.

From what I've heard the safety standards are so different and often conflict that it would be difficult for the exact same car to sell in both markets. Bumpers are mandated to be higher in the US because the average car is much bigger. I remember hearing a few others due to Americans being fatter on average and Americans tending to drive longer distances (maybe it was EU focusing more on pedestrian collisions where as the US focused more on car-to-car?)

> Well, it's already 10 years down the line with blockchain technology. Still waiting.

To be fair -- it's 10 years since Bitcoin. People didn't start innovating (widely) on blockchains until Ethereum came along and paved the way for generalized blockchains.

> It's precisely because it's been 10 years and the reality hasn't nearly matched the early hype that people have cooled on the technology, and now want solid results instead of more empty talk. It's long past the point where telling everyone big things are coming is enough, it's time to show those big things.

Excessive hype is normal and expected for any disruptive technology. AI took decades to become fruitful, the Internet took a few decades to become mainstream. We're seeing hype with cloud computing, VR, IoT, synthetic foods, and all of these have very vocal nay-sayers.

IMO, blockchains are revolutionary but also very primitive -- there's a ton of innovation in this space, and its spawned a variety of new areas for very interesting research (in trustless consensus, decentralized economies, stable currencies, algorithmic governance, and cryptographic applications.)

Of course, all of this is my opinion, and only time will tell.

On OpenBSD, RandR xbacklight(1) often just works out of the box, and as the author of the article writes, involves much less magic than the rituals involving systemd on Linux.

Perhaps your Linux bias is showing little as you attempt to justify the complexity of the interfaces Linux provides.. care to go for a round on epoll(2), a botched attempt at copying kqueue(2)? Or how about getrandom(2), a Linux kitchen sink that sprung out of OpenBSD getentropy(2).

Well, you're right that it's an econ 101 thing - because it's not a grad-level econ thing. Real economists understand that the real world differs from those simplistic models, and have (or are working on) other approaches that better model the real world.

It's just like in Physics 101 you're dealing with point masses on a frictionless surface. Later on you learn abut friction and inertia, and still later you get into relativity.

We frequently start with that simplified view of the world, but there aren't any real professionals who believe that's the end of the story. Markets do exist, despite the fact that your assumptions don't hold true to varying degrees.

Have any legal systems weighed in on a dead man's switch?

I get the premise, where typically it's illegal to take an action that releases confidential or censored information.

But, to governments, especially ones that want to keep information secret or censored, I'm not sure that negating that sequence and failing to stop the release of information (that you willingly put in a dead man's switch) will get you out of trouble.

Unless you're dead of course. But, I've seen this process promoted for living people to release information and I'm not sure it's any better than just posting the content anonymously, but with the added risk of accidentally releasing the information.
>>I think a lot of the hate is a reaction to the baseless hype from people just trying to get rich from cryptocurrency.

This is it exactly. People are naturally suspicious of anything that is widely promoted for the profit of the promoters.
Sure, but existing Latin scripts have their own equivalents; your everyday person probably could not read Fraktur, for example, and you'd be hard pressed to find a person who can read the original Beowulf: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Be.... Even scripts that haven't changed all that much, like Classical Chinese, are hard to read for modern readers without training because it is so archaic, even for those who use Traditional.

But that's why we have printing presses that make translations into contemporary scripts and vernaculars.
I struggled with this initially with FB and then decided all posts would be public. Never post anything that I wouldn't want public, and not allow on my timeline posts from other people that I don't want public (I know there are limits to this).

Targeted ads are fine to me. My bigger concern is the vast amount of data sharing on the back end that is easily non-anonymized and FB is a huge part of the problem.
Well first of all I think regardless of whether it's a minor offense relative to other offenses, my crimes did a lot of real and possibly long-lasting damage to some teenage girls and their families. And I think the fact that when you google my name a bunch of newspaper articles come up with reiterate this and force it on the front of people's mind, that doesn't do me any favors. I've tried contacting those newspapers to ask for the articles to be taken down so I can have a better chance at getting a job, but I can't find a phone number where I can talk to anyone at those newspaper companies who even has the ability to take such a request.

> It also takes a certain level of desperation to be vocal about it today because it's so taboo.

It's not taboo though is it. People go on and on about immigration and there are entire media outfits that are devoted to casting foreigners as threats while promoting the idea that 'these people are not as good natives, have lower IQ, are more violent and less productive', which is typically based on outright lies and prejudice. Beliefs about immigrants are entirely warped to cater to a smaller subset of the population which has a hard time dealing with change while they grip with tremendous entitlement to mythical constructions of the past.

> You only have to go back 2-3 generations for homogeneity to be the overwhelming norm

A very curious statement. Europe's history is one characterised by migration and constant changes in demographics. There have always been groups of people at odds with one another because they were different enough to be seen as a threat. Every generation has struggled accepting new groups of people with both good and bad results.

Sure, in a limited sense yeah. I think the Parent's view is that younger designers may be a little more grounded due to not having been worshiped as a god for years. Or just may have different/fresh ideas that are more responsive to current users. In other words if Ive is running amok, yeah maybe he should be replaced/challenged, and that's a failure of leadership, but it's still Ive who's doing the damage.

His criticisms of Dostoyesky do not sit well. I've read several of Nabokov's books -- Lolita, Pale Fire, Speak Memory, The Defense, and Invitation to a Beheading. The last 2 are highly recommended and in general the works originally written in Russian are underrated.

Nabokov's character development and psychological penetration don't hold a candle to Dostoyevsky's though.
Ask HN: Would you prefer your kids educated for a job, or as an entrepreneur?
It seems many education systems are focused on giving kids the skills to work for someone else - some company.

Presuming you had kids, would you prefer they take the education path to a job/career, or do you see some sort of alternative where they learn how to find and make money on their own by seeking out opportunity in an entrepreneurial manner?
It’s Time to Retire “RTFM”
How would this help with any kind of Russian insurgency, espionage, etc. at all?

According to the article there is 20% of ethnic Russians and more fluent Russian speakers (94%) than Kazakh speakers (74%).

Russian is also a co-official language in Kazkhstan and I can't find anything about getting rid of that.

Latin (and Cyrillic) alphabet is also no cipher.

It's easy to learn one when you know the other, the shapes are similar, some letters are shared (some with same, some with different sounds), etc. The difference could be even said to be cosmetic at best, unlike Korean, Chinese or Arabic scripts that are completely different shapes and styles and hand moves when writing and so on.

If you learn Russian in a Polish school as a second foreign language (second to German or English, as I did) it goes at a snail's pace of two or three lesson per week but Cyrillic is like a month or two of that at best.

Any Russian who knows at all any of the big western languages (Spanish, French, German, English) or one of the right Slavic ones (the ones not using only Cyrillic in their writing) also already knows the Latin script.

Moldova and Azerbaijan using Latin script didn't help with Transnistria and Artsakh at all.

Georgian script[0] is also nothing like Cyrillic or Latin (I know them both but at Georgian I can only stare blankly) but that hasn't helped with Abkhazia or South Ossetia.

If a Russian spy, insurgent or whatever wants to blend in, operate or whatever somewhere, he probably can do it easier in Kazakhstan than in those disputed regions.

If anything, sidelining Russian artificially because "Latin = West = good = we want" is only giving Russia a really good excuse of caring about ethnic Russians (not that they needed any big one like that for Crimea where Cyrillic and Russian weren't sidelined at all).

It's also bad from a practicality standpoint, forcing everyone to pick up Latin script suddenly (while before now the two main languages used the same one) and paying for replacing all the plaques and official books and documents and such. It won't help tourists either, if you don't know Kazakh then you just don't. I can read Cyrillic and can read some Russian very slowly by my crappy basic skills from school years and using Polish as a crutch but I can't read Kazakh at all.

You can clutch your way between very many European languages (and the Cyrillic/Latin split in the Slavic group is the only major roadblock in a single group to doing this that I know of, as in - the script is the big problem, not the language itself) but looking at Kazakh is as good as looking at Turkish or Vietnamese or Malay or transcribed Chinese. You get maybe an occasional global-y word like hamburger, pizza, republic or computer at best.

Anyone who would think of using it you need to consider at least 2 threat models.

1) The key castodian can decrypt your Information either willingly or through coercion.
If you use the same key to sign and encrypt the message or if you do not sign it then they may also be able to impersonate you.

2) A third party who would gain from the information being disclosed can force its release through a denial attack.

Never use a deadman switch as a bargaining or as an insurance policy if you do not intend the information to be released to the public and if you are not comfortable with the information being released the moment the switch is set up rather than when it would be activated.

The only manner in which this or any simmilar setup does not expose you to additional risk is if you only use it to ensure the release of said information in a timely manner and there is no adversarial motive to release it sooner.

And violent past mistakes up to a point. I know someone who punched someone when they were both drunk and the other was harassing his wife, and ended up with a criminal conviction. Never been violent before, and not been violent since (it must be close to a decade ago at this point). It would be absurd if he was completely shut out of jobs due to that one mistake.

I think there is a semantic issue where some people use free markets to mean markets run by mutual exchange by agreement between participants, and see the conditions that make such markets efficient as separate factors which may or may not be present, and other who use “free market” to include the combination of voluntary exchange with some or all of the conditions that make such exchange efficient.

A problem with that is that, in JavaScript, case clauses in switch statements fall through to the next clause, whereas they shouldn’t in match statements.

When reading the code, that means you need to hunt for the match or switch statement to know what happens at the end of a case clause.

IMO, if one is willing to correct historical errors, even if they are engrained, Apple’s Swift language makes the best choice here. It requires an explicit fallthrough to fall through to the following case, and goes even further than what you propose by only having a switch keyword (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Sw...)

I don't think that anyone was prosecuted strictly because of speaking/teaching language. But there were Kazakh intelligence (who probably promoted language among other national agendas) prosecuted for opposing soviet regime. Again, I don't think that language itself has anything with it. That said, yes, USSR forced other nations to adapt Russian language and it's understandable that those nations didn't like it. But it was almost a century ago, we are living in current conditions, so it's wiser to remember the past, but plan the future according to current realities, not some 100-year old dreams.

If there are N people who would still buy at BIG_PRICE and M people who would buy if it's LESSER_PRICE and below, even if M > N, you would still be losing money if NBIG_PRICE < MLESSER_PRICE.

There's a demand curve, and if you lower below it you don't get more profit, you just sell to more people -- search for product elasticity curves, maximum willingness to pay, etc., for more info.

Vendors, and vendors like cinemas even more so, have experimented to find the price that maximizes those curves.
My reasoning about the opt-out attribute not being followed would be if you are friends with someone else and they share information about you wouldn't you want that information to be private?

Isn't it better/easier to type at a keyboard using a latin alphabet rather than Cyrilic?

There was once a guy trying to type Russian on my computer and he had to go to a website to type it. While when using a latin alphabet you can easily type Romanian with a US or French keyboard or whatever latin based keyboard.

This benefit is huge.
It will take a while to switch everything from Cyrillic to Latin. Serbian is the only modern language that uses both Cyrillic and Latin right now.
