I think most people were on the fence about Kav until he gave his testimony. At that point, we saw he was a true piece of shit. I don’t care if he’s guilty or not, I just don’t want someone with that kind of attitude on the Supreme Court. He lacks discipline and self control, and can’t separate his emotions from his business.

To have a Facebook exec supporting this child is really telling about that exec.

American culture seems to have become deeply intolerant of differences of opinion. Everything is now a scorched-earth, winner takes all battle, with no attempt at compromise or de-escalation. Everyone is a combatant, every word and action is seized upon to be weaponised. I’m not talking about the debacle currently unfolding in the senate here either, I mean the entire atmosphere is unbelievably toxic and has been for some time, and on both sides.

Americans are actively dehumanising each other. Everyone needs to calm down and stop hating or this is going to end very badly.

Web-IPFS gateways are not part of the IPFS infrastructure, nor are they essential.

Computers that are ridiculously hard to hack and methods for building them have been available for some time. NSA used to evaluate them for years on end trying to hack them. If they passed the test, the got the TCSEC A1-class label for verified[-as-possible] security. SCOMP/STOP, GEMSOS, Boeing SNS Server, LOCK, and KeyKOS w/ KeySAFE are examples of systems designed with such techniques or certified. I think STOP-based XTS-400 and Boeing SNS Servers have been in deployment for decades now without any reported hacks. They were on the munitions list for export restriction (idk if enforced), some companies sell high-security to defense only, and they all cost a ton of money if proprietary.

Under newer standards and techniques, examples include INTEGRITY-178B, Perseus Security Framework (eg Turaya Desktop), seL4, Muen hypervisor, and ProvenCore. Two of those are open source with one having pieces that were released. On hardware side, the groups developing it often openly describe the stuff where anyone with money can implement it. Some openly release it like CHERI CPU w/ FreeBSD. Some commercial products making every instruction safe like CoreGuard.

So, it's not a question of whether people will develop and sell this stuff. They've been developing this stuff since computer security was invented back in the 1970's. It was sometimes the inventors of INFOSEC developing and evangelizing it. Businesses didn't buy the stuff for a variety of reasons that had nothing to do with its security. Sometimes, esp with companies like Apple or Google, they could clearly afford the hardware or software, it was usable for some to all of their use case, and they just didn't build or buy it for arbitrary reasons of management. Most stuff they do in-house is worse than published, non-patented designs which is just more ridiculous.

DARPA, NSF, and other US government agencies continue to fund the majority of high-security/reliability tech that gets produced commercially and/or for FOSS. These are different groups than the SIGINT people (i.e. BULLRUN) that want to hack everything. Also, they might be putting one backdoor in the closed ones for themselves while otherwise leaving it ultra-secure against everyone else. That's what I've always figured. Lots of it is OSS/FOSS, though, so that's easier to look at.
It's actually 5x the cost. $25 vs $5/month for basic.

Use PostgREST (written in Haskell) and PostgreSQL. No SQL injection, but you get a lot of the power of SQL anyways.
Sorry to hear, but you are not alone [0]. It was matter of time for a new tech to be exploited like that. Providing IPFS gateway is like opening up public HTTP proxy (popular back in 90s). You had good intentions, but there will be lot of nasty things going thru your machine. Of course guys like Cloudflare can absorb arising liability but I think they will shutdown their gateway at some point.

I think the best way to popularize IPFS will be out-of-the box support in major browsers. I think Mozilla may be the first one here.

By confirming Kavanaugh, Senate Republicans are elevating a person that has committed repeated acts of perjury in sworn testimony to the highest court in the land[1].

He stands accused of sexual assault, and instead of fully reviewing the facts and allowing a third party to investigate every lead, Republicans in the White House have tied the FBI's hands[2]. Worse, they've done this and have chosen to mislead the American public into believing that they are not doing this[3].

> At least until the companies figure out how to crack down on whoever leaks internal discussions to the press.

Considering these companies have tens of thousands of employees, that will never happen.

It's impossible to prevent leaks with these kinds of numbers, and you can be sure the media would raise a huge stink if even one employee is punished for leaking. They would ruthlessly protect their sources.

It's just very unfortunate how politics is becoming such a major issue in what's supposed to be the leading edge of American technology. Instead of innovation, technical merit, sound engineering, and all the other things these employments are supposed to be about.

Politics and divisive discourse and posturing are squeezing out the important matters, and making people uncomfortable at work, a place supposed to be about work.
Open source doesn’t mean free. In addition, companies can still offer support, and other companies would still pay for it.

That's the craziness of this whole thing, we're dividing America over an accusation that hasn't been able to be substantiated by any other parties. We're confronted with the most basic form of a "he said, she said" scenario. And you have half the country who assumes innocence, and half who assumes guilt, and these assumptions are made completely on where your political allegiances lie.
Actually, I’d say it’s a good reason to keep it visible. First thing I did after I’d read the first paragraph was hit ‘back’ and open the discussion thread. Who funded the study? Is the science valid? Stifling discussion about something by demoting it to the nether realms is counter-productive.

I hear you, I like the idea of separating out politics from work, but I’m increasingly feeling like everything intersects with politics, and to be apolitical in any area of life is itself a political action in one direction or another.

Maybe it’s just a reflection of how partisanship infects everything, but...it still infects everything, so not sure that pretending otherwise is intellectually honest.

That doesn’t mean we can’t treat each other with respect or consider other viewpoints, of course.

I think the article's point is that the polygraph _operator_ decided that (perhaps not consciously), not the machine itself.

True, but the default parameters of cryptsetup are quite secure with a high entropy password and they are seldom changed. A volume opened with the wrong password will fail to mount with no ill effects, you would just crypysetup delete and then re-create it again with the right password. I've addressed at length the other issues above, initializing an encrypted drive with random data is a widely recommended countermeasure against attacks that exploit the way the filesystem allocates sectors, VeraCrypt does it by default and many graphical setups for Linux offer the option for encrypted drives.

It's not your problem. For the transaction to take place it has to go to your bank and your bank trusts Visa/Mastercard to manage risks. You would be surprised to know most frauds are absorbed by banks.

I don't understand how you believe it's a stretch that these dots are being connected. Why else would he have been there? He wasn't "in the same vicinity" as Kavanaugh. You make it seem like Kaplan decided to shadow a active court case and it "just happened" to be Kavanaugh's.

Maybe I worded it wrongly, sorry. I didn't mean "why does it matter?" as if people shouldn't care about those questions. It was rather a rhetorical question, to show that the "simulation" might not depend on anything "outside the simulation", so the questions would simply make no sense.

Then again, this was just one of many variants of the simulation hypothesis, just something unfalsifiable that shouldn't be taken too seriously. :-)

Why are you so sure that IQ isn't just a useful fiction that masks a large number of underlying factors that we don't fully understand? Why are you so sure that it is the best predictor of success in these fields. Perhaps other traits are equal or better predictors of success in a particular field, like tenaciousness, or conscientiousness, and perhaps IQ doesn't matter as much if one of those aren't present.

Perhaps you have some citations to share?

The comparison to height is quite weak, because height is a far simpler and more objectively verifiable measurement, and the causal mechanism that connects height and success in basketball is plain as day simple: proximity to the hoop.

Why?

As well as being known to be a form of trickery it's also the case that it is easy to teach someone to manipulate the results at will.

All you achieve requiring it for those organisations is that there will be a) some who are rejected unjustly thanks to a false positive, and b) the people you really don't want in there have another bit of flim-flam to reinforce their apparent legitimacy.
The rocket runs on extremely cold fuel. It's impossible to perfectly maintain that temperature in the tank, so the fuel is constantly expanding and venting out of the tank so it doesn't explode. You can keep adding more chilled fuel to the tank though, so the goal is to top off the tank as close to launch as possible.

6502 assembler on C64 is basically what taught me how to program. It was just as important to learn the memory map so that you could access low-level features by reading and writing at special memory addresses. The Compute! books were especially useful.
>For good reason. It's amazing the amount of intelligence and effort that gets wasted in finance. (Other fields too of course.)

Whenever I hear someone say this, I never see an explanation for why it's actually a waste. People are usually just jumping on the 'finance is evil' bandwagon. Well, capital markets are vitally important to the global economy, and the presence of investors like AQR are a huge reason why markets are as efficient as they are.

Sure, if you ignore everything else in tracker1's original comment, which can't be said for Ruby/Rails.
IQ is highly predictive of the outcomes of future IQ tests, and to a degree academic performance (though much of academic measurement is based on similar theories, so this is unsurprising)

There's much less corellation when you consider "future success" in terms of things like job performance, financial success, happiness, et cetera. IQ is obviously measuring something, because IQ tests are quite reliable, but the thing it's measuring does not seem to show a strong corellation with a lot of real-world goals.

It's one of those measurements that people _want_ to use a lot, and so it sees a lot of use, but the idea that you can boil general intelligence down to one number is fallacious to begin with, so many of the things it's used for are not useful.

This is literally one of the things the post we're commenting on is saying. High IQ people are not automatically successful and whatever effect high IQ may or may not have on future success is easily lost in other, more significant, factors.
Exactly. It's a meaningless and even misleading analogy.

If forced to draw a comparison, you could maybe talk about the energy dissipation of a single neuron and compare that to, say, the energy dissipation of a single transistor. And in that case, considering a human brain is powered by something on the order of 10^10 neurons, the energy efficiency of the brain comes out looking pretty good.

And modern alternatives (for example c2t, which is for Apple II) can achieve even much higher data rates. I prototyped an encoding that packs 4 bits per pulse, achieving 23kbps but not reliably. One difference, though, is that this is designed for output from a modern digital sound interface, not designed to withstand degradation from analog tape recorders.

I am familiar with all of the situations you've cited, and they are nothing like this one. You're really misunderstanding Ionnandis' work if you think it is relevant to this. He's making arguments about bad statistics, which is super important and valuable, but this has almost nothing to do with that.

Again, the Mochizuiki situation is quite different. You're really not understanding these things if you think they're comparable. Mochizuiki's work is legitimate and real and serious. Whether or not it is correct is difficult to ascertain, because of its genuine complexity.

The accusation being made here is that these fields are incapable of separating absolute nonsense from genuine content. Which means that their work is indistinguishable from nonsense and absurdity. The work that Ioannidis did demonstrates that people acting within a good framework are producing work with a higher error rate than you might expect given the claims they make. That work is extremely important. But it doesn't invalidate the field of economics, or medicine. This work attempts to invalidate the entire edifice that these disciplines are built upon. It is extremely different and not comparable at all.

Based upon the position of the Free Software Foundation, you may not combine EPL 1.0 and GPL code in any scenario where linking exists between code made available under those licenses. The above applies to both GPL version 2 and GPL version 3.

Since Clojure itself and its core library are EPL, this means you basically cannot write GPL code with Clojure.
How awesome would it have been to be a high performing student, writing programs that a lower performing student would have to execute manually on your simulated computer system.

I agree.

At last Friday’s staff meeting, Mr. Zuckerberg defended Mr. Kaplan’s appearance as a personal decision that did not violate company rules. Mr. Zuckerberg also said he trusted Mr. Kaplan’s judgment, even though he himself would most likely not have chosen to attend the hearing, said two people who were at the meeting.

The messaging backfired. Some employees — particularly women — said it came across as if Mr. Zuckerberg was shrugging off Dr. Blasey’s comments about sexual assault, saying that the chief executive’s remarks had caused “stress and trauma” and were “painful to hear.”

If you have a policy that people can have their own beliefs and opinions, you need to hold to it regardless of whether you like how it's used. It's like free speech (is is free speech), and I suspect all these same people would also be very upset if someone faced repercussions from management for supporting or appearing with a person or cause very strongly associated with liberalism. And they would be right to be upset in that case. But you can't have it both ways.

Freedom of speech is one of our most important rights, and if you find yourself at odds with it, you should really examine if your feelings are just. They might be, but in my opinion, the cases where that's true are fairly rare.
