The thing I find most obnoxious is the "a better end naturally justifies removing liberties" concept.

Suppose there was positive correlation between racial diversity and violent crime in the US. Would you support de jure segregation, because it reduces violence? Even if there seem to be good effects from segregation didn't necessarily mean the government should dictate living locations.

Even if there are good effects from legislated prices, that doesn't necessarily mean the government should dictate employment contacts.
Yeah, the frequency shift "time dialation" of Radar & Lidar for traffic tickets and even Time-of-Flight imaging for your FaceID all involve the constant speed of light or special relativity... but yes, all of magnetism can be derived as a special relativistic case of electro-statics (relativistically moving charges).

For me, the more annoying aspect to this is that the "it's all relative man" has infected even more techincal discussions to the point where engineering and settled science is treated as just more "woo woo" by people who could know better.
It's similar to a centrally planned economy but at a smaller scale. Imagine if your whole economy was organised like that, along with politics and you've got yourself a dystopia.

So we're conveniently going to ignore how Apple violates user privacy by handing over their cloud data to the Chinese government? It goes both ways. If you're going to be a proponent of user privacy then don't be a hypocrite and bend over to the Chinese government. Apple clearly values their Chinese profits over the privacy of their Chinese users.

The obvious alternative is to have metadata about file in a separate descriptor, which could be saved either in first N bytes of the file, or in the file allocation table itself. However implementing this in this age would be impractical as it would break interoperability with every other (still alive) OS out there.
I'd like proof of the connection to which you are implying happened in your original statement. And I don't think corollary means what you think it means. A corollary is something that is a natural progression from one thing to another. Two things that go hand in hand and what you said does not in any way match that. It couldn't be farther from a corollary. What you said is an absurd conspiracy theory that invents a connection out of whole-cloth and discussing it without calling it out as such (as you did in your first comment, and as you appear to be ignoring in this comment with a laugh) is extremely dangerous.

It's the same as saying 'Lot's of people are saying X' where X is a crazy thing and then just going on about your way. You are basically stating the X and giving it credence but pretending not to with a 'FWIW.'
I dont know if it counts, but I have used a version of this (without the decryption) to restore all my settings after I reinstalled Chrome. (I dont use chrome's google sign in or auto sync). Here is what I did. I am sure you can write/execute code on any computer to do that.

1/ Take the backup of Data/Profile X folder under AppData/Local/Google.

2/ Did a fresh Chrome uninstall and install.

3/ Copy paste and override the folder.

It worked flawlessly and I got my old settings/sessions etc. back.

I have tried it doing it from one machine to another - it worked, and with certain subfolders. You only need a few files. I took cache folder just to be safe and things like history, session, bookmarks, along with Cookies, Cookie journal, and local storage. (you might not need the last two.). Of course, this is a year old, and could be patched. But I was able to get my logins back with no debugger needed. A handy way if you are looking to do a fresh install and get rid of faulty chrome. But someone somewhere can write a powershell script to do this (and transfer on cloud) and a lot of gullible folks can fall for this in the promise of things like 'Faster chrome', 'improve speed of your chrome' etc. and should be patched.
That ultimately doesn't matter. The bill has zero shot at passing and becoming law. Wyden doesn't have anywhere near the votes he would need, so it's essentially his fantasy idea of a bill.

There's no privacy law that is going to get passed by the US Government, focused on large corporations, that involves sending violators to prison for up to 20 years.
There weren't many Latin letters in Russian at that point. Greek, maybe.
At this point, we've scaled back the argument from "this bill would kill startups" to "any bill would kill startups".

That's a coherent position, but not one we can reasonably hope to debate about between each other.

There are a few things to consider:
One is - the point of diminishing returns.

From my personal experience (which would depend on the geographical location and one's spending habits), that point is at about $100,000. In my 9-year career path I went from $40,000 -> $60,000 -> $85,000 -> $90,000 -> $100,000 -> $120,000 -> $120,000+.
The change in general appreciation of the raise that happened below $100,000 felt substantial, it almost felt like it made me happier.

But once you reach the level where you can comfortably spend and save large portion of your paycheck, additional $n,000 starts to matter less and less. Sure, it's a good feeling to earn more money, but it doesn't define your happiness anymore. It's become a norm. So going from $150,000 to $200,000 feels so unfulfilling compared to going from $50,000 to $100,000.

The other thing to consider is comparing yourself to others. We all do that to some extent. But if it's an obsession then one will always be unhappy.
The thing to realize is there will always be someone who makes more money and lives a wealthier life.

Here's how it goes - if you make $60k and live in an apartment complex there's some neighbor that makes $80k, and drives a newer BMW than you, has a bigger apartment and newer grill.
Then you get a raise and make $100k, you buy a small house in a different neighborhood. Once you settle in you will start to notice that there are neighbors that have bigger house/drive Tesla model S, have bigger backyard.
You get another raise and start making $200k, you buy a 2500 sqft house in a different neighborhood. There, a few neighbor(s) make $500k, and drive Lambos.
Then you work hard, and you start your own business and it becomes successful, and you start pocketing in $500k, and buy a Lambo yourself, and also move to a beachfront house.
Then there're beachfront houses that are bigger than yours, and some neighbors have 5 supercars.
Then your business grows, and you start making $2M a year, and you upgrade your beachfront house to a bigger beachfront house, and buy 5 supercars.
Now there's a neighbor that has a few luxurious villas in different states and internationally, then there's another neighbor that has a private yacht, and another one that has a private jet. There's another one that has 3 private jets, then there's another one that owns a football team, and so on...you get the point.

Chasing specific amount of money that would make you happy will ultimately leave you unfulfilled because in comparison to other people there will always be someone who makes more.

Of course, there are exceptions to that like - Zuckerberg, Gates, other billionaires - but being a realist how likely is one to become a billionaire in a lifetime. I mean, if that's your ultimate goal - good luck. But something tells me most billionaires didn't have a goal in mind to become a billionaire, it wasn't their primary focus but rather a byproduct of their success and passion.

I find that the best way to take notes without slowing down the velocity is to minimize the context switching by embedding note taking to the environment.

Note-taking shouldn't be done by an external application because then users have to switch context from their current work. Rather, the tool should be available in the command line, browser, and IDE.

I have been making and using dnote [0] for the past two years to build a personal knowledge base, and this seems to work. I could just jot down things inside my terminal or web browser within seconds and get back to work.

Standard output for errors is for errors. If you need one more stream with your own rules, just open it.

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
/* Open third stream. Stream must be opened in shell using 3>... */
FILE *user = fdopen (3, "w");
/* If third stream is not open, then print to first stream. */
if (!user) user = fdopen(1, "w");

printf("Output.\n");
fprintf(stderr, "Error!\n");
fprintf(user, "Important message to user!\n");

fclose(user);
return 0;
}

$ gcc test.c -o test

$ ./test
Output.
Error!
Important message to user!

$ ./test 1>out.txt 2>error.log 3>/dev/tty

Why Your Server Monitoring (Still) Sucks
Barely but importantly. With bitcoin for every user it is still feasible even on raspberry pi to download and verify the whole chain for themselves. Not so for ethereum even with high end computers. I guess that is their way to phase in PoS scam, but it has nothing to do with “preserving the security model”.

Utxo commitment is definitely a shortcut that bitcoin will eventually implement, but it can only work reliably for long timeframes especially when you have “disturbances in the force” like what happened with BCH last year.

“Known” blockhash from several months back is something that can easily be faked unless you actually fetch all the history and verify.
>I disagree - sortof. "money-hoarding" is very useful - money lets you do all manner of fun things.

Microsoft provide file system access which is not impacted by MAX_PATH and that is what git is using when it writes to the file system. If anything I think Microsoft should fix Explorer which they kind of have in Windows 10 with the long path option.

I don't know enough about why Microsoft still have the MAX_PATH problem. I am guessing, like most things Microsoft, it is due to legacy compatibility.
Copyright issues aside, my impression is that this solution is mostly in the spirit of GDPR. LA Times doesn't want to take the legal risk of being accidentally non-compliant (or doesn't want to go through the effort just yet), and outline.com is willing to act as a "wrapper website" that serves LA Times content while also following all EU rules around cookies. That means people in the EU are able to access the content without losing any privacy rights around cookies.

But you're right that it does validate the LA Times's decision to not spend resources on it, if there's an easy way to offload the legal worry to another company.

> iterate until something works... craft or trade over a scientific discipline.

Huh? Science is the quintessence of iterating "until something works", i.e. until you have a theory that appears to fit the observations, until it doesn't, and then you iterate again to find a new theory.

Science is exactly the turning away from a "first principles" approach, and only when we did turn away from that "first principles" approach did first the scientific and then the industrial revolution take off.

And of course in Software, the "first principles" approach was what we successfully overcame with agile approaches that stress quick feedback loops, and of course the same thing happened in manufacturing and other disciplines as well.

Nit: Clojure does not have user-defined reader macros. There are quite a few built-in reader macros, including #? added for reader conditionals.
Tangent: scribal errors are often classified as to whether they are committed by scribes who do understand the language they're copying or scribes who don't. (Some errors can be committed by either kind of scribe, but will still tend to lean one way or the other.) Copying "persistent" where the text has "pertistent" is a good example of a kind of error that only a scribe who understands the text will make. (Though this particular case might not even be considered a scribal error.)
I didn't mean to imply that The Feynman Lectures in particular were "pop science". They are more akin to a very condensed overview of an undergraduate curriculum with interesting motivating examples hand picked by Feynman. They are not a substitute for undergraduate courses, and I'd advise most students to read them after they finish their core undergraduate courses.

This is a frustrating thread.

It starts with the claim that this law could put Flappy Bird on the hook for decades of prison time. I rebut, and you say (paraphrased) "no, read the law, anyone with 1MM users could be sent to prison for failure to comply". This is obviously not true.

Then the claim becomes that pp26-33 of the statute has so many burdensome requirements that it would be impracticable for many startups to comply. I ask for specifics; none emerge. Instead, a new claim appears: every startup would be on the hook for "a couple hundred hours" of legal to verify their compliance.

But the proposal as stated doesn't require formal compliance reviews, making it hard to support an argument that this proposal would somehow cost more than many other regulations that do have that requirement, and for which my firm has done significant engineering and compliance work without spending a hundred hours talking to legal.

But, no, it turns out that's not the argument. The real argument is that the proposal requires auditors, for which legal will have to be deployed prophylactically. Now, the proposal does not in fact have an auditor requirement, but also, the clause that discusses auditors goes out of its way to make it clear that the types of third parties they're referring to are technical experts, which startups already use.

So the argument changes again. Now the argument is that regardless of the specific construction in the proposal (again, these specifics were all brought to the discussion by you!), it would be prohibitively expensive for startups because a lawyer would have to take time to verify the meaning of the law for the startup.

I point out that this is an argument that applies equally to pretty much any privacy or security law, and you respond that this is one is a special case because of the prison time and fines (the "breathtaking" fines are part of the same clauses as the prison liability) --- thus resurrecting the original false claim.

This doesn't read to me like a good-faith argument.

It's of course fine to make the argument that any new regulation would impede startups and would therefore not be worth the trouble (there are other arguments against this proposal you could just as easily make; for instance, that the field isn't mature enough for us to have the FTC use rulemaking authority to establish cybersecurity requirements for startups).

But if those are the kinds of arguments, you're making, make them. Don't move the goalposts.
