> I'm not sure how much of the beach is considered public in east coast states

In the state of SC, there is no such thing as a private beach. Of course if the island is fully gated, it would require boat access.

In the case of Fripp, there is no public parking insofar as I'm aware but one could park at the edge of Hunting Island, walk across the bridge, then access the beach as the gates are inset.

Of course I'm also sure the security folks would try and make you feel unwelcome. One of those "can't beat the ride, can beat the rap" situations.
2. As said in 1, we have export now via multiple avenues. Some are paid, but the import/export tool certainly won't be for the general release and the bridge status may change too. It's taken a little while but there's no vendor lock-in and it has nothing to do with the protocol the tools use to talk to the server.

3. True, but part of open-sourcing is people building stuff to interface with the API and I don't want people building stuff on obsolete interfaces which might further delay dropping support for them.
> the drones are transforming how ordinary people are able to capture and tell amazing stories.

I disagree. Drones are allowing ordinary people to take ordinary pictures, only from a much greater height.
I Grew up near a rez in ND, my dad worked at the tribal college for as long as I can remember. Open enrollment does help. A sizable chunk of the local public school population lived on the rez. The tribal highschool looks more like a prison (not a single window on the outside) and teachers rarely last more than a couple years.

On the note of the sad state of diversity initiatives, I recall a particular quote from a local restaurant owner: "If their last name has a verb or an animal in it I throw it in the trash"

I am a bit disappointed they didn't add some of the features of the OnlyKey - such as passcodes (and having the ability to self destruct the contents).

Those would be awesome to have if someone decides to steal your keys (yes I am aware you need your key + password -> but if someone goes through the effort to steal your keys - I'm sure a hammer can get the password out of you).
It does matter!

* An open CPU ISA without the burdens of licenses means that more manufacturers can produce chips. This leads to healthy competition and more alternatives.

* Open designs make it easier for everyone to put together awesome new products.

* Simplicity and starting over with something that is not bloated means simpler compilers. No legacy means a clean design.

* Open source means that open source software could be recompiled for it. It is just another target so it does not really matter, unless you are running closed source software. If you are using open source software, the cost of switching to RISC-V is very small.

Regarding your argument about as long as there is one turing complete chip family, nothing matters: This argument is similiar to saying that since Windows exist and actually does work, and in theory does the same thing as Linux, then Linux does not need to exist. This argument is just moot. There are lots of arguments for running Linux instead of Windows, very much the same way that there are lots of arguments for running RISC-V instead of x86/ARM.

In the long run, RISC-V will take over, just like Linux once took over.

That Moore's Law has essentially ended probably also means that something like this probably is worth focusing on. It makes sense regarding to economy and optimization to redesign the CPUs now when we have reached this end of Moore's Law.
It's nice to see their own keyserver.

I wonder though if it wouldn't be more practical to support the Web Key Directory protocol [0]. WKD is both more secure than HKP (as it's always over HTTPS and authenticates user's domain), it's enabled by default in a growing number of email clients (Enigmail, GPG for Outlook, KMail) and providers (kernel.org [1], posteo.de), it's used by GPG when locating a key and the setup is incredibly easy (just put binary key in one location).

(to check it out try `gpg --locate-key torvalds@kernel.org` in modern GnuPG)

From my perspective it looks like a perfect match for ProtonMail for both use cases: exposing @protonmail.ch users' keys and fetching keys of contacts on other servers.

Webauthn and WebUSB UIs are very different. Additionally, Chrome has banned WebUSB from claiming Security Keys.

However, it remains the case that if the user downloads and runs exes, or otherwise grants the attacker direct access to the Security Key, then they can ask it to sign an authentication request for a given website. Such an attacker could also compromise the browser and wait for the user to login themselves etc.
What happens when their government compells them to secretly begin siphoning off email, ala Lavabit?
Sure does. Such matters are meant to be decided by those democratically elected representatives; not by popular vote. Referenda, especially with only two opposing options, make bad democracy, exposing one of its most dangerous failure modes; a tyranny of the majority.
100%. They think they are doing agile as long as they have Sprints.

Startup I'm working at right now told me "Agile" is overkill for us. But ironically it's more iterative then any company I worked before that did sprints.

Back when CDs were a thing and VERY slow modems were the norm you could find Slackware in bookstores, places like CompUSA, RadioShack, Circuit City, etc.

This was many folks' first exposure to Linux, Open Source Software, etc. and led many to pursue computer related professions.

Wouldn't European tech companies be subject to GPDR and other such regulations in the European market?

Oh, I put that caveat in there because I am not Asian so I did not want to speak on behalf of Asians. Sorry if that wasn't clear. My assumption is that it is weird for everybody but maybe there were some cultural things I could have been missing.

> For any exploratory drilling, or covering any real amount of ground, you need humans.

I completely agree that we should better fund space exploration, but I disagree that humans on Mars are the best way to do that. It would be great to have humans on Mars for many other reasons, but realistically, the human body is pretty poor pound-for-pound and watt-for-watt as a rover, actuator, drill, sensor, or computing substrate.

Opportunity didn't cover much ground not because they tried to make a 2800 mile robot but couldn't build one that could do more than 28, but because we have been extremely patient and thorough in exhaustively studying those 28 miles. It's a depth-first, not breadth-first search.

> The secret to reading these "Steve Jobs leadership" stories is that Jobs is usually not the only leader in the story.

People can debate the whys and hows, but there's no denying that key point.

Maybe it was by accident; maybe Steve's careful design; or perhaps a consequence of Steve's personality and the kind of people he found himself in the company of--those attracted to him, him to attracted to them, or both. I don't think those questions are easily answered. But you can't even begin to answer those questions without realizing that he was surrounded by leaders, and it probably wasn't a random fluke--that is even if it was accidental, the accident happened once in the beginning and thereafter perpetuated itself, not accidental in the sense that at every pivotal moment he was by chance surrounded by leaders.

And even if by accident there's much to be said that Steve didn't ultimately fritter away that initial good luck. Again, deliberate or not, conscious or not, most people would have frittered that good luck away. It's hard to deny that there was something peculiar about the man. But debates get caught up in our contemporary moral narrative about merit, intelligence, worth, etc. There can't be an objective assessment, if at all, unless we appreciate how that narrative colors our perspective and understanding.
AFAIK intel threatened to sue someone who was implementing an x86 emulator on top of an arm chip. I think emulators are legal because they're not in hardware and so not infringing on intel's market space?

Many hundreds of thousands if not millions of users utilize IMAP to receive email on their phone apps, thunderbird, outlook, etc. Support for it is expected of any mail provider as part of the basic requirements of operating an email service. Extending this with an extra means of authentication is comparatively easy to adding it to your web app.

HT can help fill unused execution units (which are in the order of a dozen not hundreds unfortunately) as they are over-provisioned compared to what a single thread could possibly use [1].

But the biggest win is when HT can fill pipelines holes caused by a single thread waiting for some long latency operation (almost invariably memory accesses). Normally out of order execution can fill these holes by extracting parallelism from a single thread of execution, but that's not always possible when multiple high or unpredictable latency operations are chained together.
Yeah I agree that 23andme name recognition and brand is valuable and maybe best in class for engagement of patients with genomic data. So for clinical trial recruitment and marketing that would help.

I'm less convinced of the value of 23 and me data in drug discovery. It could be quite useful but is not best in class. The regeneron genetics center is a much better approach imo -- sequencing data vs genotyping, access to robust medical data, partnerships with leading medical institutions to get patients and data, and a targeted biology driven strategy that reduces the cost of getting a signal. As far as cost per good potential target, 23and me is probably an order of magnitude or more behind

Not sure how 23 and me would help GSK analyze genetic subpopulations -- GSK could sequence patients just fine on their own without 23and me and get more robust data than 23 and me genotype data. For biomarker discovery once you have a candidate and are moving into clinical studies there are probably much better targeted solutions than 23 andme

Value of 23 and me is 1) brand and 2) data on large number of pts. 2) helps with finding genetic markers with low effect size which isn't really helpful for drug discovery and also finding rare variants with large effect, which is important, but there are better / cheaper ways of doing that (i.e. regeneron)
This insane headline makes several massive leaps:

1. Toxoplasmosis effects adult humans and rats the same way

2. Normal cat ownership causes enough toxoplasmosis to be psychoactive in a human

3. People with the psychoactive effects of toxoplasmosis will choose to use their disinhibition to start a business (as opposed to, say, having sex or eating food)

Basically this is clickbait nonsense.

Not sure about other areas, but in my state "Genetic Information" is among the protected classes with which you may not discriminate regarding employment. Although it's allowed for housing, credit, etc. when race et al are not, which is quite peculiar.

I have a funny feeling that the nontechnical people on my current project would be nodding their heads along to the article, but the truth is that our applications have bugs that 100% of our customers are running into; they simply aren't immediately noticeable to a layperson. That doesn't mean they're not important. The business relies on complying with the rules of third-party organizations and the software is blatantly violating those rules right now. The clients are aware but still choose to prioritize new features over fixing the bugs that are creating these compliance issues. If we're caught out by those third parties before the bugs are fixed, there's a good chance it could sink the whole company. But our users don't "see" these bugs so they're not considered a priority over new products, new features, or anything else marketing might want.

I looked up Pinedo's background and she's not a developer; she's a social media manager. This is kind of what I figured because her perspective on development seemed really out of whack to me. There are many kinds of bugs that can't be measured with a simple stability calculation, and IME there are definitely error states that are worse than death (crashes). Plus 97% of teams are definitely not following agile principles. Every dev team I've ever been on said it was agile, and most of them just meant that there was a kanban board and something that vaguely approximated a sprint.
> similar set of advantages that you've described.

low salaries, high taxes/cost of living, less jobs and less dynamic job market.
You're underestimating the cost of US healthcare per capita by an extreme amount. Universal healthcare would cost a minimum of $3.6 trillion (that's an ideal scenario where the US gets its per capita spending down to other high spending nations), and a more likely ~$4.5 trillion.

Higher education for all would cost at least $600 billion (close to the existing spending for all post secondary institutions annually), more likely $750b+ with the cost expansion that would entail.

You obviously can't eliminate all of the US defense budget. That would be wildly irrational and dangerous. Let's say the best you can do is a 2% of GDP expenditure rate, or roughly $400 billion per year.

That $300 billion directed at universal healthcare would pay for the healthcare of 20 million people, 6% of the US population.
You talk about these things like they're some kind of final solution, like either option is the one single path that humanity must travel, and if we pick the wrong option we're doomed, and if we pick the right option we're saved. I don't see it that black and white.

Many people in Europe stayed and eventually fixed their problems, and ended up with revolutions across almost all of the continent to throw off the monarchy and old religious system in favor of tolerance and democracy. They did that even after people who were sick of the old system left for the New World. The Pilgrims established the system they wanted on another "world", and eventually everyone who stayed behind fixed their problems as well. It can be both.

It can also be neither. Like you mentioned, both America and Europe have a lot of the same problems now that they did back then. They never got fixed. So in your vision, we all stay on Earth, never fix the problems, and eventually die off. Or we send some people to Mars and even if we never actually fix the problems we're facing on Earth, at least we reset the clock to give us more time.

Ditching capitalism and militarism isn't going to stop the sun from devouring the planet. Shunning religion and solving the problem of crime isn't going to prevent a supervolcano. And being in the Garden of Eden won't matter much when an asteroid destroys the planet. What seems like fantasy to me is the idea that we can solve all of humanity's oldest and most deeply ingrained problems if we just try hard enough. What is actually history is that extinctions have happened before, and the biggest one wasn't caused by humans.
Perhaps the author is suggesting that T2D and obesity are usually caused by the same poor dietary habits, at least in the US. The obesity just tends to happen earlier, so it's assumed to be the cause of the diabetes, which happens later. I think the bit about gastric bypass literature is referring to the finding that physical modifications like gastric bypass are not effective in reversing the metabolic damage that results in T2D.

I don't have any studies for you though.
My guess would be the CA Attorney General, department of Consumer Rights. They handle other similar actions.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. Using PGP/GPG has a lot of upfront cost in learning how to create keys, syncing them, getting them signed, storing them securely, etc. To be absolute certain that the private key is not stolen you even need to create them on an air-gapped machine and use a hardware device like a yubikey when using keys on online machines.

I think in the end most computer users will sacrifice a bit of security for convenience. PGP signature and encryption for email will most likely never take off. Encrypted chat services like Signal seems to have done much better, likely because of how convenient they are to use.
It's pretty possible -- most restaurants have steak, fish, chicken, or other meats. Bars/Grills will serve you a burger without the bun, as will fast food restaurants. Sashimi at a Sushi place, Korma with no rice/naan at an Indian place, Tom Yum Soup or other options at Thai... etc.
I don’t think it’s useful to describe ‘Europe’ like this. From country to country you can have large differences in availability of candidates, expected salaries, immigration laws, and regulations and customs around running a business.
When someone's as public a figure as Musk, it becomes nearly impossible to be any sort of human being and still be "decent" according to the standards of the noisy crowd. The few celebrities that are mostly universally liked pull it off by having almost no personality, so everyone can agree, "oh, yeah, they're nice."

After @popehat's tweet the other day [1], it finally sunk in that everyone's favorite hobby today is finding people to hate, and hating them. A lot of people are competing to be the noisiest about it, to make sure that they have an opinion about other people and that as many people as possible know what that opinion is.

We've added audience participation to the afternoon soap opera.

Celebrities can let the public chisel away at them until the only thing left to say about them is that they're "nice", or they can resist being chiseled at and that will only make the public hate them more.

I haven't seen that episode but there were two things that really got the trouble started. First was funneling money from the payday loan company to fund his racing team. The other was his brother Joel selling fake debt to collectors claiming it came from Scott or one of the AMG portfolio companies. A whole lot of people that never had a loan suddenly started getting calls from debt collectors. Not to mention those debt collectors were pissed when they found out it was fake and/or sold to multiple other collectors.

Could it cap the maximum number of generator calls though? Rejection sampling is technically O(infinity) because you could reject an unbounded number of times. This isn't a problem in practice but it sure is theoretically annoying. With a cap on the maximum number of calls, it would be O(1).
