Regarding bandwidth, since that is probably the most important resource required by your voice servers: do you strategically use the mixed-calculation-type pricing that some dedicated server providers offer (where you can get large amounts of traffic included in cheap server prices because very few heavy users are subsidized by many users that only use a tiny fraction of their bandwidth share) or are you rather renting dedicated uplinks for your servers that you and your provider expect to be fully saturated most of the time?
"This is not an issue of mental health in America. American society decided that Terry Davis was not a threat to himself or others, and thus permitted him the freedom to choose whether he would get help for his condition or not. That freedom may be clouded by his condition, but it is a freedom he is afforded none-the-less. Terry Davis is a success story in America being tolerant of the mentally ill." --random internet guy

Maybe we should first feed insects to the animals/plants we prefer to eat.
Investors provide at least three separate things:

(1) Cash (2) Credibility (3) Operational help/advice

This feels like a bundle that might get redone.

Already venture capital unbundles cash from credibilty/endorsement. Angel investors provide both. A VC uses their own credibility to scout good investment opportunities, which then receive cash from limited partners. VCs often invest in their own funds, but just enough to make limited partners believe they have "skin in the game": the real thing they have on the line isn't capital, but their reputation as good deal-pickers, which let them raise funds later from their investors, limited partners.

I wonder if someday, there won't be a class of people who are pure reputational endorsers, who say "this company is going to do well", and that signal by itself is enough to attract a big amount of pure cash.

Maybe the "I like this" and the "I'm putting my money in this" have to be the same in order for others to believe the "endorser" has enough skin in the game.

Skipfish and wapiti are quite a bit different than this. They are simply blackbox scanners that attempt to crawl a webpage and look for common issues, mostly by trial and error. This is examining the source code of an application, finding all the sinks, building a graph, and working backwards through the graph to find sources that can pass input to the vulnerable sinks.
I have slaughtered lambs a few times. I came away with a profound respect for the source of my food ever since. Eating meat does indeed has an effect on our ecosystem, and I think every meat eater should at least slaughter an animal once in their life. Vegans might overvalue animal life, but most meat eaters definitely undervalue animal life because they don't conceptualize where the food in the supermarket comes from.
For me insects are a symbol of foul and infestation. Those plates look like they were taken over by what is on them. Can this strong repulsion be a cultural thing, like so many prejudices are?
But it's not uncommon to label someone an asshole for being comfortable saying "That's a bad idea and it won't work; here's why..." rather than beating around the bush.

On the other hand, someone who is willing to "divert the project to advance some personal goals" all too often, will be very likable and sociable and not considered an asshole. There was a phrase at a company I used to work at "he doesn't need the project to succeed, he just needs it to not fail", and there were a lot of people who would drag a project on long enough to move up; really pleasant, friendly people... who didn't care who got hurt once they moved on to the next project.
I see no aspect of reading memos that is better on a tablet or smartphone than it is on a PC. However, I do see some ways in which it is inferior on a smartphone - screen size in particular.

> At its core, it's basically everyone doing themselves.

No, it isn't. Anarchists can cooperate; in fact, rational anarchists will certainly cooperate with each other, to reap the benefits of specialization and trade and comparative advantage.

What anarchists object to is being forced to cooperate when, if left to themselves, they would choose not to.

> there is going to be a certain segment of asshole that will just decide: Me strong, you weak, and just override you.

These people exist whether society is an anarchy or not. The difference is, in an anarchy, they have no way to capture more resources and power by, for example, becoming politicians or regulators or lobbyists or heads of corporations getting government favors. Whereas, in the system we have now...

In other words, anarchists are basically pointing out that trying to "fix" the problem of assholes by having a government is a "cure" that is worse than the disease.

> Someone needs to enforce the social contract.

You enforce the social contract socially: by refusing to deal with people who do not respect it. In an anarchy, everyone has that option; and therefore people who do not respect the social contract quickly find themselves ostracized and powerless.

Whereas, in the system we have now, people can break the social contract with impunity without losing anything, if they can get themselves into certain privileged positions.
> Sure, unless your value objects contain references.

As others have already pointed out, C does not have references. It does however have pointers, and pointers are already copied by value.

> Then you’re looking at a deep copy

There is no such thing in standard C. Objects are copied by value, including pointers, and if you want to "deep copy" your custom data structures then you need to implement your custom cloning routines. However, naturally your custom cloning functions wouldn't be used directly to capture any variable.

> which can be expensive and/or very application-specific.

That's hardly specific to C.

> It’s hard to do copy by value generically.

Actually, it isn't. In fact with C it's quite trivial, and perhaps as trivial as it gets. There's no garbage collection thingy, no RAII, no deep copies, no refcounting... nothing. Just plain memcpy() from one object to another. That's it.

https://nuclear-knowledge.com/detonators.php provides more information, they are designed for fast switching, but still at vast currents re. triggered spark gaps "Typically, compact versions of these devices rate at 20-100 KV, and 50-150 kiloamps, and the triggering potential is one-half to one-third the maximum voltage. Switch current rise times last 10-100 nanoseconds. "

For krytron's specifically it says 'These devices have maximum voltage ratings from 3 to 10KV, and peak current rating of 300-3000 amps' which would have been useful for detonating the exploding-bridgewire, which requires a hefty current.

I wonder if an insect based food economy scales. A few years ago, several of my friends were getting into generating biodiesel - they were so excited to be able to go to restarauntd and try to buy up their grease. But it turns out that once a critical mass of consumers (nowhere near the local population) started doing this, it was no longer viable to “make your own” economically. If let’s Say a cricket contains 10kC, and you need 200 a day, how do you scale that to city size populations?

I suspect the answer will be mushrooms or yeast, ultimately.

> understanding anything isn't required

Things are truly understood in solitude not with a gun to your head.

Also, what a developer knows this second has less bearing on what they could learn than often thought. No one knows everything.
In general, yes. You don't refuse emergency procedures (i.e. you're going to die right here right now without it), but life-prolonging procedures (e.g. without this procedure you have a 50% chance to die within 4 months) are a different thing. And for diseases like cancer, if you show up when you're about to die, then there's nothing much can be done; they can put you in coma on life-support to eke out some more "life" but you can't cure it anymore.

And it's worth noting that in medicine there's no fundamental boundary for 'may cost you your life', or if it is, the bar is very low. Taking an x-ray may cost you your life. Not taking an x-ray may cost you your life. Dentist's anaesthesia may cost you your life. Almost every noteworthy medical decision (including purely preventative things or running tests) has some life-or-death effect, there's only a difference in quantity, not a difference in kind. There are no life-saving procedures, there are only life-prolonging procedures. A widespread recommendation that patients meeting criteria X, Y and Z should do a particular diagnostic test will result in deaths of some people, and a widespread recommendation that they shouldn't will also result in deaths of some other people, and the main question is which number of deaths is larger.

On a large scale, medicine is mainly a resource allocation problem - almost everyone could and would live longer if we allocated more care towards them personally or towards that condition, however, the "price/performance ratio" of such procedures is very, very different. There are things like stopping bleeding from trauma, which are very cheap and prolong your life by as many years as you'd otherwise live, and there are drugs and procedures with a six figure price that give an average survival benefit of a few weeks over much cheaper alternatives; and for most of people who'll die in hospitals today we could extend their life by at least one day with extra care; it's just that it's currently physically impossible to do everything for everyone, even if our economy consisted 100% of doctors and nurses caring for each other, because now we can (attempt to) do so much more. So there has to be a line drawn somewhere; some care will inevitably have to be refused to some people, and the only debate can be about the criteria - whether it's medical criteria (e.g. being refused to be considered for an organ transplant since you'll likely die soon anyway for other reasons, and that transplant can give much more years to someone else), or the ability to pay for certain procedures, or some other ways. On a large scale metrics like $/QALY (price for a quality-adjusted life year) make sense, but on small scale it's difficult to judge.

This is already a concern with regards to other forms of trade, such as export restrictions where the US prohibits companies from doing business with Iran and North Korea.

Also note that country A absolutely can decide what terms upon which company B is allowed to operate in country A. This is true even of them stating what company B can and can't do in country C. If company B wants to do something in country C that company A prohibits, company B needs to decide whether it wants to operate in country A and follow country A's laws, or leave country A so it can do what it wants in country C.

The Internet is by design, and should be, decentralized. The "lowest common denominator" effect is an unfortunate side effect of centralized entities like Google trying to cater to everyone. But Google is the problem, exempting them from the law is hardly the solution. Smaller, localized providers will be able to better meet the needs of a given population's culture and laws, and address the unique problems associated with any given locality.

Yes, that does mean that the Internet won't look the same to everyone everywhere in the world, but that isn't a bad thing. Facebook in Myanmar is a great example that just because a website can be available globally doesn't mean it should. These global entities are not capable of understanding the impact they have on a macro or micro scale on that scope.
yeah, pedestrianizing or making roads into transitways does actually solve quite a bit of traffic locally. The trick is to do it holistically - most of the time everyone on both sides is looking far too short term and pounces on the results after making changes to a block or two.
What does it mean to be "hounded" by collection agencies? I've allowed some of my debts to go unpaid because I considered repayment to be a poor deal.

Fact is, the majority of jobs are "crank work". Whether sewing shirts, flipping burgers, making coffee or, in this case, reviewing NDAs or other mundane agreements.

I'd argue there isn't simply enough "work that people like doing" to give everybody full-time jobs with all this automation.

Nobody in their right might would do boring/uninteresting work if a better option was available to them -- including lawyers.

I suspect most of the US' problems is the atrocious lifestyle most live; overeating and under-exercising are literally a lethal combination.
It's not easy to answer this macabre question. To many people, it's more important not to slaughter animals like that, than that people feel ok about the ugly reality. To people who think human lives aren't the only ones that have some value, this question is grotesque. To me, at least - 'Why is feeling bad about needlessly slaughtering lambs a good idea?'..

I guess there's a utilitarian argument for taking a pill so we'd never feel bad about anything, if we could, though I'm not sure if we'd still be recognizably human. Well, maybe psychopaths are like that.

To the contrary, fear powers the State.

Depends on what you mean by capitalism. Capital accumulation is useless in a market economy if you don't re-invest it (which is a mutually beneficial trade in itself).

Which is a temporary outlet for a select very affluent few Westerners (non-affluent person wouldn't even be able to afford transportation and supplies, not mentioning $500 entrance fee) who drive there for a week (increasingly accompanied by air-conditioned tents and personal chefs), frolic in costumes or negligee, burn stuff down for fun and return to their regular lives. A lot of fun, but I can't see how any sane person can see it as a model for a society.

> The real objective of Socialism is human brotherhood

Somehow in the real socialism it happens in exactly the opposite way (the famous joke is that under capitalism man exploits man, and under socialism it's the other way around). Socialism always produces the nomenklatura (note that I have to use a Russian word for it, because it is so inherent to the largest Socialist experiment in history) and the privilege networks (another Russian word, "blat") which create a complex network of inequality and privileged access to formally "equal" benefits. In a capitalist society, most inequality is monetary - through class, sex and race play its role, ultimately money usually overcomes most of it (especially in a modern society, where things like open racism are frowned upon). In a socialist one, not only money can't do much without privilege, if you are outside the privilege network, the mere attempt to make this money (or otherwise route around the privilege network) would get you imprisoned or executed. Some brotherhood it is.

It is trivial to implement doubly linked list. Just use unsafe.

What is difficult is to implement it in the safe Rust. But then try to proof that, say, C++, code doing the same is safe. It is very hard.

Besides, if one really wants cyclic structures in safe Rust, one can always do ancient Fortran trick and just represent pointers with array indexes. It may even be faster due to more cache-friendly memory layout.
This looks really helpful! How do you do the verification?
The power supplies I worked with on the Model 28 were the typical linear design. They had huge resistors on them that after a while, the heat from them would lift the copper pads off the circuit card. So they'd be hanging off the card, only held on by their solder connection. If the inspectors took a dislike to us, they'd write us up for them. But mostly they knew this was a design "feature" and would overlook it.

One of the cool things about that era of Teletype was the mechanical serial to parallel converter.
