I work for the tech division of a non-tech related branch of public service. It's scarier than you think. People passing by in the hall are sometimes literally added to the meeting taking place and get to (are obliged ?) voice any advice they might have on the subject being discussed. Boom, they are now an expert and project leader. It's not about legislation though but the consequences are very real (how to project gets implemented with all the dance with contractors and other branches and how it will impact everyone in the country).
But even the price of a diamond has a limited range. Art on the other side has no upper limit. A little canvas with something conceptual drawn on it can easily reach tens of millions of dollar.

I always thought that part of the pleasure people get by shopping is purchasing things that are stlighly more expensive that they can afford. That goes from buying the cheapest scarf at Hermes to buying an expensive car and anything in between depending on your means.

Problem, how do you get that pleasure when you have over $500m at the bank? Comes art dealers, who will happily make you believe that this really exclusive conceptual thing is worth more than an entire building. I don’t think most wealthy buyers care the slightlest about art. But they can finally access that same stingy pleasure a secretary can get buying a Hermes scarf.
Story has it that she revealed her chest long before any promise of title was made.
I'm not in the 1%. The reason I care is because the primary reason for still so many people living in poverty, is the people hoarding money and doing what they can against anything that could change that.
That's what lobbyists are for, and the reason that they aren't inherently bad.

Not an expert by any means but I would imagine you simply prefix your time with a specific „large-sclae time zone“ that you are moving in, e.g., it could be earth, another planet or your spacecraft. Wouldn‘t solve it completly but seems to be a pragmatic solution that could work alright for most cases.

However, a total ordering of events seems plausible only from the relative perspective of an observer and we would need to figure out, how to think about how things like transfer duration affect each oberservers understanding of ordering.

Most trainers are worthless. Source: trainer.

A good trainer is basically there to evaluate and fix problems. Programs are pretty much the same for each particular goal, available for free on the internet. Want to ‘get in shape’? Great. Get your HR above 120 for an hour every day. Doesn’t matter how. Snatch stuck at body weight and you want to get to 1.5? Okay, go see a trainer.

But you need one anyway. Source: human.

Most people do absolutely nothing of value in the gym. They’d be healthier using the time to get more sleep. Enter the trainer. Something about a human telling you what to do is comforting and allows you to put your brain away and just do it. People that train with a trainer will see results. People that don’t, might. A trainer is required to be the best in any sport. Lots of people that are pretty good don’t use one. But if you’re at the bottom of the pile in where you want to be, get a trainer.
Paying more is the one real way to keep good software devs. Everything else is secondary. The real problem is every companay big or small is under risk of getting vanished.

A mirrored chirality human is a major plot point of Daniel Suarez' "Change Agent" book.[1][2] It has interesting use in the story as mirrored chirality gives the character the ability to be immune to many toxins that would normally harm humans.

Last month returned to my parents' house while I search for a new job. They offered me a desk in the computer room, and cleared it for me. But every day I came down to use it, my mum or dad had put something (papers, clothes, wires) into the empty space.

To establish that this is "my" space, they told me to put "my" things there. Then it won't be a vacuum.

On the contrary, my colleagues in Taiwan were surprised that I always filled my desk with all kinds of things, mostly electronic. They thought it looked "messy", but I thought it's just my way of showing that I still exist.

For a long time, I considered my girlfriend's opinion of my room to be very hypocritical. She has so many plastic bottles of random creams that she can't see her TV. Instead of tidying, she stands up for 20 minutes while watching her shows! It finally dawned on me that she thinks wires are messy, and I think plastic is messy.

The key example justifying the need for this bill is as follows:

> A high risk Registered Sex Offender (RSO) was placed on the register for raping a 16 year old female, served nine years imprisonment and is now monitored by Corrections via two ankle bracelets whilst out on parole. Victoria Police received intel that he was breaching his RSO and parole conditions by contacting a number of females typically between 13 and 17 years of age. Enquiries showed that he was contacting these females and offering them drugs in return for sexual favours. The suspect was arrested and his mobile phone was seized but despite legislative requirements he refused to provide his passcode. Due to an inability to access his phone as well as the fact that he used encrypted communication methods such as Snapchat and Facebook Messenger, Victoria Police was unable to access evidence which would have enabled them to secure a successful prosecution and identify further victims and offences. These are high victim impact crimes that are being hindered by the inability of law enforcement to access encrypted communications.

The limited information reveals they identified some targets, which means they would know (some of) his Facebook and Snapchat account names.

While the content of messages can be encrypted, the connection graph is not, so why couldn't Victorian Police request details of accounts the suspect's account had communicated with and request the parents of those users provide endpoint access to the encrypted chat history?
I do not like the GOF book. Some of the patterns appears sometimes in my code, but the book has never helped me to program better or helped me to think about my code. The single benefit I got from this book is that it gaves me words to explain my code to other people.
Where is value removed? The money ends up in the hands of casino companies that spend it on architecture and arts or it is paid out to shareholders who will invest it in new opportunities. It's really difficult to remove value from society. Even if they burn bills, it will only increase the value of every other Dollar because the supply of Dollars just shrunk. You have to maliciously commission bad art or create toxic waste to remove value.
If you "appreciate art", you're going to buy $20,000 pieces from brilliant artists, not the name brand stuff that is only marginally more merit worthy if at all.

Most of the time such laws are passed on Christmas or New Year's eve (Obama literally allowed the NSA to share Upstream surveillance data with all the other 16 agencies like 3-4 days before his presidency ended - how exactly would anyone have stopped Obama then?!), or people "allow" them to pass through inaction, which I think is not quite the same as actively supporting something. Governments of the world simply take advantage of people's inaction or their lack of attention to certain issues. This is a problem with how most democracies work (the democratic processes are not democratic enough, but we've failed to improve upon them due to complacency).

And 10 years later when people wake up to it they come out and say "but we've been using this for a decade and it's been so helpful in our investigations!". And even if that was true, often they don't provide real proof, and also the government is almost never interested in doing a cost-benefit analysis for such things. Like it may have been "helpful", but how much damage did that lack of privacy and the existence of backdoors caused, too?
Exactly! My troll-sense was tingling when reading the original article, so I was skeptic about the content claims of the original article. But the author had a good point: the NYJM screwed up by not publishing a retraction.

A retraction would have made clear what the problem with the paper was. Sure, publicly saying "we made a mistake" sucks, but not doing so empowers the author of the paper to claim they are being persecuted for their beliefs.
> some of this money will make it into hands of other people, but most of this is just removing value from society.

I'm not an economist, but... surely near-as-anything 100% of this money is going to other people? Some tiny fraction is paid to the electricity company to keep the lights on at the casino, and some tiny faction of that is the cost of the fuel that is literally burned for that purpose. I think basically the same goes for the various luxury consumables the casinos are comping to these guests. The actual cost of the base raw materials that are consumed is going to be tiny (relative to the huge sums being gambled, anyway).

Sure it would be better if these gamblers gave their money to science/charities instead. If you think you know how to convince them to do so, then go for it.

Fully agree with this. The link to identity is not often brought up. I run a university lab focussed on re-decentralisation of the Internet as a day job. We focus on identity & p2p + trust.

Beaker browser is impressive early work focussed on the raw bit transport. It re-uses DNS for global discovery, its hard to do everything decentralised at once. How to do global search on a decentralised Twitter or spam control?
