OP here. Very cool. Yes Payments space is huge. I'm looking forward to the future of payments for sure. Will checkout JotForm, congrats on your success brother.
Great job in pushing through though. Where have you been posting for help, I am no ways an expert, and have been learning Rust, but all I have heard is the welcoming nature of the community, and would love to at-least try and help. Its a great language, but yes, a stabilizing and emerging ecosystem. But this is the way it will mature; implement tasks that push the language and hopefully come out with good solutions. The Go ecosystem evolved in this manner as-well, and others as well.

IANAL but running a story about how a bunch of companies' products are insecure if Bloomberg knew it was false and those companies could show that Bloomberg knew it was false could be libel.
Bloomberg probably has its own political agenda (guess who's administration is behind this?) for fabricating such elaborated fake news.

Mysteries of the Horned Helmet – Royal Armouries
The system's peak _usage_ is 60kreq/min (avg 1k/s), the Python code it's written in can handle maybe 850/s per instance at 100% CPU.

Rust is fine, rust is managing almost 2k/s on the same hardware. And this is when I know practically nothing about Rust, I expect I'm likely able to do better given time.

Short summary of the difference between supply-side (Milton Friedman) economics vs demand-side (John Maynard Keynes) economics:

https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/012615/what-differe...

My main experience with this on a microeconomic level was during the housing bubble and recovery. I tried working at home flipping used Macintosh computers to sell on eBay and found that as money got tighter and tighter around the country, prices kept falling from $300-500 in the course of a year to $150-300 and eventually I couldn't make any money at it.

Part of this was the natural drop in price of electronics but part of it was also the fact that everyone was broke so demand for computers fell. I think we could do a lot for the US economy by putting more money in the hands of consumers and raising demand. We could also think about what people are buying, and start investing in projects that pay off in the long run (renewable energy, permaculture, automation etc) vs projects that are unsustainable (coal, monocropping, the service economy).

The fact that most people have never really heard of these sorts of government-driven public works since roughly the late 70s tells me that supply-side economics won. But I think on a local level, we might see a resurgence in demand-side economics with recycling, cooperatives, some level of universal basic income - things that make life easier for working people. At least, I thought that before the last presidential election. But if people are looking for hope in these times, Keynesian economics is a great place to start.

Well, "Tor Browser", which shares code in both directions with the Firefox project, is already available. So that's already an option.

It's not ideal though. A large fraction of the web blocks access from Tor relays, or makes you jump through extra hoops, like completing onerous captchas. It's not a great experience.
That's already happening.

Tor and Firefox are working together to make Tor network the default within private browsing mode. A number of privacy-related patches from Tor have already landed in Firefox (example: Firefox now has first-party isolation). It's a slow progress, but it's on its way.

Things are hacked often with a specific facility or installation in mind. It could be as little has a handful and that'd be enough to compromise a lot.

I actually don't care what the truth [edit: truth of this specific BMRG story] is - the West needs a 'wake up call' on this one and any company installing hardware should be inspecting everything that comes in.

Too much lax security out there, sadly, the US gov I don't think is competent enough in this area to provide guidelines.

I wish there was a CIO right in the White House cabinet, who could work with the Valley + Security experts to provide minimum guidelines for everyone, and to make everyone aware of certain things.

I'm glad the internet was designed to be 'open first' but not glad it was designed to be almost inherently insecure as well. 'Open but Secure' by default would be nice :)
We should charge oil companies an extra environmental tax and use it to pay for the cleanup. It should increase the price of oil, something more inline with the actual cost. The earth is our only home we cannot afford to f—k it up.
I never got what drew people to the I heart radio app. Once im no longer listening to radio, and am using my phone's mobile data, it feels like either spotify or pandora would be much more preferable.

WASM does let you choose between 32 and 64 bit floats. SIMD and threading are mentioned in the article as things that are being worked on now.

GPU access is about browser APIs rather than being something tied to WASM. We have webgl now and it seems like there's more coming hopefully (https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb).

>and above all is simple enough that you can figure out why the compiler isn't performing the optimizations you expect.

Reading WASM seems easier to me than reading real assembly, so double-checking a WASM compiler's output seems much easier than double-checking a native compiler's output. Of course it's on the compilers to support WASM well, but hopefully that simplicity aids them too.
It seems like you would still want those 4 people, just to keep an eye on what's happening with those 10,000 acres, whether the robots are working correctly, selling and marketing their harvest, researching new opportunities for improvement, etc. With just 4 people, you also have a worryingly high bus factor if one gets sick or takes time off for any other reason.
Palau has weathered the weather (unintended aliteration) of typhoons before.

Where the individual can go into their own world. With time dilation to engage in whatever they wanted.

Imagine spending 5 years working on a startup, where in reality 8 hours passed by.

Even better, if you had something like neural lace, where you could have a simulated reality and interact with other dreamers and even save your progress to the real world.

This would change everything.
> Actually Bitcoin was built to address the print on demand fiat currency driven by debt and unaccountable fractional reserve driven economy we have today. Giving people the ability to actually own their money for real and not just IOUs.

Bitcoin only has value because it can be turned into those fiat currencies, and is thus only valuable as an extension of them. So either Bitcoin is worthless, or it's essentially a super-encumbered fiat currency. Unlike basically everything else, it's neither a service nor a commodity. So sure, insofar as you can own ones and zeros you can own Bitcoin. But it doesn't matter _at all_ if you can't turn it into Dollars.

> As opposed to the planet-destroying energy consumption of the fiat institution today? Or the tobacco industry? Or the military? Or any number of stupid usages of energy (which dwarfs the Bitcoin usage) we have today?

This is all whataboutism.

> It may be inefficient but it's self regulating and it cannot increase endlessly.

By "self regulating" do you mean "requires more and more energy use to add new blocks"? That's not very comforting. Plus "it cannot increase endlessly" isn't an argument that inspires faith. "Sure the flu might claim a lot of lives. But it can't claim _all_ of them." See?

> Please see Monero or the shielded transactions of ZCash for how real anonymous payments look.

> it's amazingly stable compared to the inflation of 4000% in Venezuela. It will also become more stable as it becomes adopted more.

I think it would be a bad idea to denominate your wealth in the currency of an unstable government. I also think it would be a bad idea to denominate your wealth in a currency with no regulation and no backing whatsoever. The only good idea here is to denominate your wealth in a currency backed and regulated by a stable, liberal government.
Fine, McConnell is talking. A lot of people have talked, over a lot of years. Let me know when actual cuts to actual budgets happen.
>most likely came from a ton of rumors that got conflated, hence why they had to go with anonymous sources

Just noting that anonymous sources aren't unknown sources — if Bloomberg says that these are people working in US Intelligence then they've very likely validated it, but are protecting their identities by request.

Also worth noting that Amazon and Apple have a tremendous amount to lose here. That doesn't mean they're lying, but based no what we know, they have more incentive to lie than Bloomberg does. Also possible that they're already working with the government and have been asked to lie about it due to national security.

Totally possible that Bloomberg was intentionally mislead or flat-out wrong either way. It just sounds like they've done the due diligence of checking with an abundance of sources, so it would be odd. They've made mistakes before, but I don't know that they've ever made one of this magnitude. The decision to publish or not publish a story like this isn't something that one person working at Bloomberg does on a whim, many people are involved.

All other things aside, I tend to trust journalists more than corporations. There's not a lot of room to jump to a conclusion either way. Very solid 'maybe' territory all around.
Personally I feel like gaming is the least interesting application for VR/AR/MR. There are plenty of use cases I can imagine where the user does not have to suspend their disbelief to forget they're not actually running, walking, jumping, shooting, ducking, etc. And most of those use cases are in industries where buying a $4000 specialized tool would be considered cheap and easy to get a return on investment.

I'm still waiting for "virtual monitors" in AR/VR so my entire office wall becomes a giant screen.
I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of olympic level mental gymnastics I need to engage in to be able to view a butchering of a US permanent resident who works for a major US newspaper in a consulate on a territory of a NATO country and lying about it being a "progress" but I'm probably just not understanding the delicate picture
One of the reasons for this, about seven years ago Russia put a 30%+ import tariff on any mobile phone that didn't work with GLONASS. Thereby motivating chipset makers like Qualcomm to integrate GLONASS receive features into their existing RF chipsets.

> Slug has the same pitfalls as Pathfinder 1 (late-Z & overdraw)

Are you sure about that? I’ve looked at their demo with renderdoc. They’re rendering a small polygon for each character, i.e. they’re rejecting invisible characters, or parts of characters, early before PS. And because they cut corners of each character the overdraw is minimized as well. Symmetric band optimization further reduces time spend computing the PS.
People being far too literal here about the "Love the Lord God". Your God is whatever you worship, and yes even the Atheist worships something. The commandment is two parts: (a) Jehovah (The Lord) should be your God and (b) your God should be the priority in your life. If you're Atheist or another faith then replace A by identifying "your God" and make it your priority. Live with purpose!
Probably if they could prove it - but it's hard to imagine what they could find that would constitute proof.
Maybe replace something you would write as a shell/perl/python script for automation with a rust binary.
would you have purchased it?
I still remember the moment when I read that fossils weren't bones. Actually, I had read that several times before, but this time the text told me HOW they weren't bones.

I 'm glad people are finally quitting the VR hype. The amount of money thrown in the hopes that people would strap a horrible vomit-inducer in their skull is astonishing. What's worse, it has distracted people from incremental progress in what is "classical" metaverse and kept it behind by a few years. Example in point is Second life's pivot to VR called Sansar and its open-source twin called HighFidelity. Both are going nowhere, and the only thing that kept people from seeing their obvious flaws was the mountain of money they got thrown. Highfidelity now pays its users with cryptocurrency in order to be able to stress-test their servers. The project has received 75M to burn, and is unable to retain any users after 4-5 years of trying. Its users are complaining about the lack of a decent desktop experience, yet they are stubbornly refusing to listen. On the other end, opensimulator, a poor secondlife-clone is struggling to fix its bugs with $0 funding, yet it still keeps thousands of users interested. Someone should just knock some sense into all this hype.

I guess the guys leaving oculus are smart enough to know that the party is over ... for now.
Most founders of major acquisitions leave after a year or two. The founders of Instagram and WhatsApp were at Facebook for more than 5+ years. That's very rare.

Addressing this study, it was a N=1038, cohort study that seems to only have adjusted for education. Further, there's a link on your cited article to [1], which is a response that suggests that the determining factor may have been personality, rather than cannabis use.

There are other studies that indicate a similar conclusion, but I'm not clear how it's any different than any of a dozen socially accepted factors. The developing brain is very fragile. Playing football, or not getting enough exercise, can do similar damage.

Not necessarily received, but at least seen them and verified that the described thing actually exists. If they don't even have a single frigging photo that they can show us (up until now they have only shown CGI renderings that they fabricated themselves showing how it might have looked), then that seems to imply that they haven't done any due diligence.
It's not that he's unwilling to make it run on stable, it's that he has to sacrifice ergonomics to make it run on stable. Despite it not being async, yet, Rocket is my go-to because it has the best ergonomics. Something like actix-web may be more performant, but it's ergonomics are poor in comparison.

Regardless, Rust is stabilizing procedural macros which just leaves the never type as the last stabilization required for Rocket to be able to run on stable Rust. Additionally, I believe their next release is targeting the rewrite to async. A lot of it has to do with Rust firming up its own story around async.

You're right, that using deepfakes would be difficult to manipulate the general public with. There are plenty of dangerous cases where deepfakes could be effective, especially in the military or in business. The article sites two examples:

what if you see satellite images of a country mobilizing or testing nuclear weapons? What if someone synthesized sensor measurements?

Another example I could think of is a highly sophisticated spearphising attack. What if someone impersonated a boss's voice over the phone? What kind social engineering/manipulation could that type of adversary get away with?

Porn, sure. That's a place where being immersed in the scene is unique and possible desirable. Movies, though... I'm not convinced. 3D movies already suffer from having to force the viewer's attention to the appropriate part of the scene by changing the focus so undesirable locations are blurred out. How do you represent an action scene where the viewer could potentially be looking 180 degrees from where the action is taking place?
Accessibility is a big problem.
Pretty much any dictionary on the planet will disagree with you.

I just love the concept of modular spacecraft. Even if we can get better performance out of custom designs for space probes, there is a compelling case for building more probes sharing the cost of a common architecture with mission-optimized sensor and communication packs riding commodity boosters.

And even then, the communications package for Neptune or Pluto or for KBOs probably would share a lot of common parts. As would power and guidance.

Yea you just “stitch” the data together to get your perfect customer data profile.

Actually you end up with about 5% of your customer base properly tracked, and those people are already buying the most stuff anyway. I would bet that nailing the supply chain and focusing on your margin would be a better investment in most cases.

The Norden Bombsight was an early analog computer, made of around 2000 parts including gyroscopes, and designed to precisely drop bombs from a moving aeroplane. The bombsight was regarded as such a strategic advantage that all efforts were taken to keep it secret - such as embedding an incendiary charge inside the sight which would destroy it in case a plane was shot down.
