> their sponsors wanted demonetized

I understand that’s the intention, but is that actually the end result?

I feel like the de-monetization went way overboard, most likely because it’s either monkeys or a shitty algorithm like the one for identifying copyright infringement on audio or prioritising clickbait in “recommended” videos.

As a result I do believe there is a possibility for a site to offer a better space both for creators and advertisers, where the monetization criteria is defined by humans (possibly even the video’s creator, under threat of deleting their channel if they intentionally mislabel it - instead of monkeys or stupid algorithms).

The obvious way to reach the goal of minimize civilian casualities is to abstain from risky strikes and use smaller yield weapons.

The us military wants technology that justifies them not making more conservative choices, and I don’t see any moral justification for that. Drones are useful for cheaply eliminating risk to one actor, thus allowing more risky behaviour to the side that has them.

But being a cheap risk mitigator is also all they are, they bring no new strategic capability, as evidenced by how easily their use was ramped up and down, so their main effect, the one that could provide some moral justification, is making war cheaper.
Yea, it's an emotional concept that seems to mean things cost more than somebody was expecting. You could say there's a shortage of anything you like, so it's a meaningless word. There's a shortage of helicopters because lots of people want them but don't want to pay the high price they currently have. There's a shortage of petrol because if it was much cheaper, I'd be running a generator to power my house. I want that cheap petrol but there isn't enough for the price to be so low.

>> When HSBC laundered money for the Mexican Cartel [1], just had to pay a one time fine of $1.92B [2] and say "we're sorry".

It was a little bit more than that. They had a deferred prosecution agreement, and had an independent monitor in the company that reviewed all steps to improve their compliance processes and could have triggered the DPA if they didn't improve.

I was working at HSBC during this time, and no-one took for granted that they would get passed their "parole" period.
Hmm, I'm American, so I can tell you Puerto Rico absolutely is part of the United States.

My understanding is that Chechnya is part of Russia in a similar way, but I'm not an expert there, so maybe I'm wrong. If so, then I should have said "murder of gays in the Russian Federation" or "in Chechnya".

But, I mean, I could have instead said "state-sponsored assassinations of journalists and political opponents in Russia".

The specific atrocities involved are kind of incidental to my point that if you decide to operate a DRM-enforced single-source app store platform, you are going to have to get into bed with authoritarian governments if you want to sell your platform in the countries they control.

(That said, I will google the relationship between the Russian Federation, Russia, and Chechnya a bit more, so that I can state things more precisely in the future.)

If the drone program was somehow 100% precise and it only affected people the US government deemed as "bad people", would you still be against it?

Yes! Obviously! Goodness.

Look, civilised societies have many, many checks and balances to prevent government officials arbitrarily killing people they happen to dislike. This extends to forbidding the death penalty in all the countries where I've lived. This is very important, critical in fact.

The USA routinely classifies people as "bad" without any idea of who they are, what exactly they've done (if anything) and certainly without ever thinking about why those people might have gone "bad". And it never can whilst there are people whose salary is linked to killing people.

The basic disconnect here appears to be your belief that there is a finite supply of terrorists/bad people/whatever, generated via some natural process, and the USA needs to be able to take them out with lethal force and no trials, in foreign countries. If it spends enough time, money and skill on this problem it will eventually be done, and thus the goal is to avoid killing "not bad" people whilst ensuring the "bad" people are taken out.

Whereas my view, and the view of most people in the world according to opinion polls, is that the USA arbitrarily reclassifies people as "bad" in order to keep the drone strike programme filled with targets. The more budget the various drone controlling agencies have, the more targets there will be. The supply of "bad" people is therefore infinite and drone strikes will never end, until the day the budgets for them are zeroed out.

I think the embedded browser is where the most bloat is located. Although this particular vulnerability is not tied to it.
Okay, you may be right; I haven't looked through all diffs in detail (nor do I understand all intricacies of the standard).
What I am trying to understand is why this is considered a solvable problem, when essentially you need to devise a method to find a better solution to the problem in order to prove that there isn't a solution.

Aren't all proofs flawed in this way?

Like for example, 2 = fish. Prove that there isn't an undiscovered mathematical axiom that makes this not nonsense?

I would recommend reading "How to get rich" by Felix Dennis. He had a sense of a humour, but was quite wise too.
I’ve been collecting compact Macs over the last year or so. I’ve got 3 SE/30s and one SE.

My most recent SE/30 exhibited this failure, but came back to life after I repaired all the axial and SMD capacitors.

I currently have it working with 80MB of RAM, and a SCSI2SD.

It’s got the following OS installed:

* System 7.5.5
* A/UX 3.1
* NetBSD 6
* debian Linux

I’m currently working with one of my electronics guru colleagues on designing a new PDS slot 100Mbit Ethernet card for the SE/30, using a modern Ethernet interface chip, since working Ethernet cards are getting hard to come by.
I don't have any particular experience with VCs, but personality-wise the guys at SUSA(Susa? Capitalisation is annoying when it comes to logo vs Twitter) and Homebrew are miles ahead of 99% of the others I've seen, so my first impression is to agree with you.
I know very few people that got rich without getting lucky and none of them would have been rich if they had followed this list.

The majority of them simply went into finance, consulting or real estate at a young age and invested their income smartly (retrospectively!). After the first million rolls in if you're young enough compound returns will take care of the rest if you can postpone altering your life-style.

Re1: the problem here goes a bit deeper, classically the NP problem is a problem which requires a non-deterministic turing machine to solve. Ie a machine that can explore multiple outcomes at once, even the entire problem space to some extend.

A non-deterministic turing machine can interprete multiple instructions (write 5 to tape and go to state 2 OR write 3 to tape and go to state 19) and (depending on interpretation) use the instruction that gives the result fastest or explore all instruction branches at once.

Note that the "OR" in there is not a classical if-else, it means literally the machine can pick one. There is no memory value that tells it which is correct.

Basically, problems that are polynomial on a NDTM will likely be NP on a normal machine (with some exceptions depending on the problem).

Re2: As above, verifying is actually easy as you can then simply follow the execution branch the NDTM picked on a normal deterministic turing machine.

Atleast this above is what I learned in CS course 2nd semester.

A proper cryptographic hash function is a one way function, if they exist.

But I'd frame your question the other way around then. You do not want to store the emails in a form that leaks any data. For that we need a compressing function. My (unwritten) assumption was that if the adversary compromise the system to get the data, they'll get any secrets too. This means that a HMAC is no better than a cryptographic hash function.

I know that is quite possible to create a system where this would be significantly harder than just a DB dump. But that is both significantly more difficult, and expensive. I'll admit that the formulation "provable the best we can do" should've had a big fat asterisk with the disclaimer about the threat model.

So, if an attacker have the data set and secrets, and wants to compute if a particular input is a member of this set. Can you do better than a cryptographic hash function?
General knowledge. Have you read the entire standard? I haven't, but I know my machine uses two's complement internally, and C and C++ are generally supposed to be close to the bare metal.

Appealing to mindless outrage is not a rational argument. Please list all of the genocides that the USA’s drone program has participated in.

> I don't understand this logic. Drones are a weapon. They are not any more evil than any other weapon that the military uses. They aren't killing people autonomously. There is a human pilot behind every death. The pilot just happens to be hundreds or thousands miles away from the aircraft. Would we be fine with the military killing the exact same people if the pilot was simply on the aircraft that launched the missiles or bombs?

Not "fine", but I think "maybe a little bit less horrified" might be accurate, because a remote video feed apparently makes it even harder to tell what you're shooting [1]:

What the public needs to understand is that the video provided by a drone is not usually clear enough to detect someone carrying a weapon, even on a crystal-clear day with limited cloud and perfect light. This makes it incredibly difficult for the best analysts to identify if someone has weapons for sure. One example comes to mind: "The feed is so pixelated, what if it's a shovel, and not a weapon?" I felt this confusion constantly, as did my fellow UAV analysts. We always wonder if we killed the right people, if we endangered the wrong people, if we destroyed an innocent civilian's life all because of a bad image or angle.

Another former operator said similarly [2]:

Bryant stared at the screen, frozen. “There’s this giant flash, and all of a sudden there’s no person there.” He looked over at the pilot and asked, “Did that look like a child to you?” They typed a chat message to their screener, an intelligence observer who was watching the shot from “somewhere in the world”—maybe Bagram, maybe the Pentagon, Bryant had no idea—asking if a child had just run directly into the path of their shot.

“And he says, ‘Per the review, it’s a dog.’ “

Bryant and the pilot replayed the shot, recorded on eight-millimeter tape. They watched it over and over, the figure darting around the corner. Bryant was certain it wasn’t a dog.

Though in any case it seems like quite an awful argument that distancing yourself from whom your killing should be fine because killing-isn't-okay-anyway-so-whatever.

"If your problem is with killing people, it should be with the people who ordered the killing and not the specific weapon that was used to carry out the killing."

Drone strikes, as they are used, are a more evil way of taking out identified targets of other nationalities. I find the concept of a nation state summarily assassinating people a bit troubling, but drone strikes make it even worse by making it imprecise and cheap.

Drone strikes without on the ground operators create huge collateral damage [0].

When operating in a civilian area, it's far less precise to handle the targeting based on a video stream and to send in a hellfire missile rather than have on the ground operators identify the target and pull the trigger.

Effectively, they are using civilian casualties as credits to buy military lives and convenient and rapid force projection capabilities. Any calculus that considers innocent lives as accepted collateral - when you have other options that are just more expensive or difficult can be considered evil.

It is also nothing new and not some effect of GDPR, but deeply rooted in culture. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy long had strong laws regarding the right of persons to their own likeness. There is also a big rift, not only legally but primarily culturally, between Anglo-Saxon culture and mostly the rest of the world.

GDPR and other laws concerning informational self-determination[2] never can be interpreted without context. They are always limited by other rights and freedoms, like the right of artistic freedom. So a lot depends on your intent and if you can justify what you do.

I'm not saying this is all well and good. As kind of a street photographer wannabe I'm very sympathetic to the position that the UK and the USA take on this. I'm just saying that the rest of the world has very different ideas about this and this has consequences if you operate globally.
