I have quit jobs several times in Japan and while quitting was not difficult in itself, I did not like one bit the fact that resignations are almost kept secret to most employees. Like some of my more distant colleagues noticed weeks after I left that I was not in the office anymore and found out by asking around that I resigned. Always amazes me.
That's a pretty shaky definition. A series of fictional letters that chart a narrative are also "Literature" (there have even been books based entirely on this letter format). The letters writers wrote are often considered a part of their canon. Some novels contain fictional or even real news clippings. Some beloved novels today were once considered "cheap", quickly churned out crap (aka "blogspam"), such as the pulp thrillers from the Chandler era. Some great Victorian writers (notably, Dickens) mostly serialized their work.

There is no authority proclaiming something as or as not literature.

My father and our relatives built the house I grew up. My father worked in the construction industry as a construction supervisor and made blue prints for family homes as a side gig. My uncle was a professional roofer. I can't remember them saying anything like "that was a nice thing, let us do it again". Finishing it took almost 10 years and some parts had to be rebuilt because of lack of proper isolation.

Windows 95 had most of the things we use in a GUI environment today and it ran on a 486 with 8MB of ram. When packaged in Electron with a javascript x86 emulator it is still smaller than many modern text editors. Plenty of GUIs ran on significantly less.

Since the modern web is basically one of the worlds most overengineered and crufty VM platforms, I don't expect it would run very well, and that would probably be enough to doom the system in the eyes of many, sadly.

LTO5 is out of date, the prices you're seeing reflect there being a small but consistent demand for enterprise customers needing to purchase these to read LTO5,4 and 3 tapes and to replace failed out of warranty drives .

The latest version of the LTO standard is LTO8 and drives are around $2700 http://www.backupworks.com/Quantum-LTO-8-SAS-tape-drive-TC-L...

Raw capacity of LTO-8 is 12TB at $160, which is a much better value than LTO5

Factor in that these tapes are designed to be written to and then sit on a shelf for years and that such devices are more frequently purchased by enterprises expecting a long service life out of them (say 10+ years) the prices for the complete system do tend reflect this with a higher cost to entry.

Wrong,you're being presumptuous. I would not be 'tolerated' in most workplaces either 60+ years ago. Even now I face difficulties. Please don't be presumptuous.

One of the most offensive things I experienced in a liberal workplace was being treated differently(for my benefit) because of the 'group' I belonged to.

You show up to work to do a job not to struggle in politics. I should be accepted as a human and a coworker,not as a member of whatever group I belong to. You have the right to earn a living and feed yourself and family because you are human and you have the skills and qualifications for the job. Your membership to some socio-political group neither qualifies nor disqualifies you.

You don't need decentralization for a blockchain.

All you need is 1) a reverse linked list of entries and 2) have the list be cryptographic in nature. Even git can be used for a blockchain since it uses a cryptographic hash for commits and can use GPG signing.

Validation, consensus and decentralizations are additional properties that you can add on top that make it useful for certain use cases.
Then maybe we should focus on school reform as a whole and find out what makes mediocre schools mediocre? My guess is that a lot of it has to do with the family and home environment of the students. I teach in the rural South (20% of the county is poverty line or below), and the issue isn't really with the students or the education. It lies in the expectations parents have and cultural values with regards to education. Furthermore, even among the poorer students, you can see those whose parents encourage them at home to do well in school. That's the main issue that affects school quality. With the upper middle class and wealthy you have students whose parents can spend time, encourage and help them (or get tutors), so of course that's going to happen more.

And if you take the kids like that from the mediocre schools, or, really, take what money their taxes provide for the school system, you're just leaving the disadvantaged kids to be more disadvantaged.

Let kids move, sure, but the funding shouldn't move with them.

> Failing all that, you can probably just extract the extension into the Chrome profile folder and on next restart it'll pick it up.

No, this would be a security hazard. All the mentioned ways require admin privileges or even group policy privileges. I'm doing it without any permissions.

Chrome hardened the process to protect their users. They're doing the best they can, but the Win-APIs are too powerful and there is no sandbox (like those for Mac) in place. Officially, all ways (registry keys, files, ...) require admin privileges for a very good reason.

See http://www.chromium.org/administrators/pre-installed-extensi... for an overview of the official methods.

> SandboxIE doesn't run on macOS or Linux.

Mac has its own sandbox and Linux offers SELinux and I was talking about a security vulnerability I have written for Windows specifically, that's why I gave the tip for Sandboxie.

> Perhaps you could drop a couple of them, so I get a ballpark idea of which direction you're going in with that.

> I would be extremely interested to hear some of the ways you'd particularly go about attacking Linux, which I use everyday.

Sorry, I can't talk about this specific attack in detail because this vulnerability can't be fixed. It's conceptually fairly simple and <400 LoC and I'm sure you can find it on your own if you're determined.

For Linux and security: If you're not constantly monitoring your running processes and bash scripts, privilege escalation and others can be easily pulled off (e.g. simply aliasing sudo). As an example, it's extremely simple to extract all stored passwords from Chrome and others [1]. That's the reason I prefer to use separate password managers (most of them protect their address space), although you can easily hack them as well. That's the reason I prefer encrypted virtual drives - it's unconventional and most tools don't cover it so the hacker has to search for them manually. Security is mainly making it more difficult to find the stuff, it's nearly impossible to hide it completely (otherwise the user wouldn't be able to access it, too).

It's a big field, so I don't really know what what you're interested in. You can find exploits on https://www.exploit-db.com and look for things that are interesting for you. For most of the pwnage, you don't need any exploits (except the chain of remote exploits to get in). As soon as you're in, you can do anything without any problems - getting root user, keylogging [2] (very easy for X11), injecting shared libraries (especially easy on Linux with LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and other stuff.

I would recommend sandboxing tools, network- and host-based IDS/IPS, a good firewall which also analyzes behavior patterns and a healthy amount of paranoia. Many AV systems are mainly security risks themselves and add a false sense of security, it's extremely easy to bypass them and their sandbox-analyzers.

Doesn’t this rely on Surety being trusted though? It seems technically possible for Surety to modify documents consistently in and out so the hashes are consistent, but not representative of the submitted documents.

Especially back in the 90s when generating crypto hashes wasn’t as easy for users.

So this is similar to notaries where the trust lies with a different party.

The killer app, I think, that made blockchain blockchain is the trustless nature.

Surety is certainly cool, but just a better version of putting a hash in a bank’s safety deposit box.

I carefully studied the 2.1 and 2.2 versions of the spec. I wrote, in Racket, a miniature interpreter for lists of RISC-V instructions (just symbolic lists, not the byte strings they assemble into), then wrote programs to compute triangular numbers and Fibonacci, and verified they worked. I've built the RISC-V toolchain and compiled a few test C programs and run them in "spike". I don't think I took more than a glance at the "gcc -S" output. I have no familiarity with SPARC or Motorola assembly, but I have decent familiarity with x86-64 assembly, having written what looks like a couple dozen miniature test programs and one medium-sized program, and having tried a few times to write a decent x86-64 assembler.

I found the RISC-V spec enjoyable to read, especially with all the rationales; it felt clean, minimal, and well-thought-out. Writing a program in it was probably not much different from writing in x86-64 assembly. The encodings seemed much easier to deal with than x86-64, though as mentioned I didn't go as far as writing an encoder.

What kinds of important features are present in SPARC or MC68k but not in RISC-V? Are they absent from x86-64 as well?

Why should it need to be decentralized?

A blockchain is a chain of blocks. Tautological, but the words mean something; it isn't just a name. If you hash blocks that contain hashes of previous blocks, you have a blockchain.

At most it might be argued that a centralized blockchain has no reason to exist, but I doubt that's true.

This sort of thing seems really sad to me,

From the site linked in the article, "Proper Etiquette for Quitting Your Job in Japan":

Show your appreciation to every member of the company, or at least those you have been working with directly. Sweets, small gifts such as mugs, tea sets, a thank-you card or other similar items will be appreciated by everyone. Prepare those for your last day on the job. Usually, Japanese companies will see you off by hosting a small party and presenting you with a flower bouquet, so having something to give in return always makes a good impression. You may also be asked to give a speech, so prepare a few farewell words just in case—but keep it short and sweet.

Skipping these niceties in order to save embarrassment makes the world a little colder.

I've been wrestling with this for a while.

First issue with the school is the quality of classmates. It is a small school with small classes, which is good, right? Except there are only six students in his class this year and his classmates are generally low achievers, poor English speakers, and pretty lousy friends. I want him to be surrounded by high achievers and have some choices when it comes to friends. Seems unlikely that will ever happen at this school.

Second issue is that the school is pretty stagnant. At a time when international schools in Thailand are booming, adding new campuses and programs every year, this school is just plodding along with its old tired facilities and pathetic extracurricular offerings. I've been trying to make up for that with lots of after school activities like having our own little Maker Space, doing robotics, and visiting the museums and children's activity centers in Thailand which are very good. But he doesn't get to do that stuff with kids his age because of issue number one.

I was a volunteer judge earlier this year at a robotics competition held at one of the international schools in Bangkok. I got to see what a number of schools are doing and it is pretty impressive. One of the schools I particularly like has a STEM program in association with MIT, and a performing arts program in association with Juilliard. They are also introducing robotics into the primary curriculumn this year. Impressive stuff.

I'm planning to do as you suggested but that is still a number of years away. Need to figure out what I'm going to do near term. And moving to Bangkok just seems so painful.

>A series of fictional letters that chart a narrative are also "Literature" (there have even been books based entirely on this letter format)

That's because it's been explicitly written as such (e.g. Dostoyevsky's Poor Folk). Those letters are in fact just chapters of a novel telling a story. A series of non fictional letters wouldn't be considered literature (and generally hasn't).

>Some beloved novels today were once considered "cheap", quickly churned out crap (aka "blogspam"), such as the pulp thrillers from the Chandler era.

The weren't considered worthy (or high) literature. They however had literary form (and often pretentions).

The same goes for the serialized Victorian (and of course 19th century French) works, whether their initial outlet (newspapers or whatever), they still followed the same overall structure.

Tons of others wrote lots of different formats even then (from manifestos, once a very popular form of expression, to dadaist word collages, lettrism, newspaper joke columns, quips (e.g. from Karl Kraus, or Ambrose Bierce, Brecht, etc.), published travel correspondence, and so on.

But unless they told a story over an extended number of pages they weren't considered literature (whether good or bad).
Eh...

> If you tried to claim that a person's physical strength could be measured with a single number people would think you're mad

I wouldn’t think you’re mad. Many others wouldn’t either. Powerlifting competitions are already close to this. Take your performance across the four major lifts (benchpress, squat, shoulder press, deadlift) and devise a formula to combine it into a total number measuring the “general” strength of a person. You can compete on individual lifts, and if you break out that score some will be better than others at individual lifts, but the larger number remains indicative of well-rounded achievement in orthogonal areas.

That being said, I don’t think physical strength is comparable in any case.

> probably most people in the world would think the concept of "IQ" is mad, and yet, in some countries, so many people believe in it.

I think most people either “believe” in IQ or don’t think about it often enough to have an opinion. In fact skepticism about IQ is, in my experience, a distinct phenomeon on message boards and not at all representative of society in general.
