Is there any requirement that one's signature be a handwritten version of the printed version of one's name?

My signature is pretty legible at least if you already see my name in print, but I know lots of people who sign a squiggle. Your name could be ʤᔙ but you still might sign it ᠼ and I doubt anybody would care.

(Made-up examples here, obviously.)
> why does it matter what version of python lambda supports (or any framework / language for that matter)?

Python 3.7 is a lot faster (30 - 40%) than Python 3.6 for certain types of functions.

And you can't (easily) just install Python 3.7 from another runtime, because it has a ton of dependencies and takes minutes to compile. So even if it's technically possible, it precludes a lot of use cases.

Hmmm... not sure about tutorial. One of the best books I read when learning to program was "Effective Java". Was an awesome book about API design that would still be relevant today even if Java itself isn't exactly cutting edge any more!

Also... I recently wrote a course on Building an App from Scratch with Ruby on Rails. It still has a ways to go to be "Best" caliber. Check it out and let me know what you think: https://www.nimblehq.com

To be fair Google’s TPU design is mostly a technical thing (I’m not a hardware guy and as such I had to search what it really is) so it’s understandable that Google’s legal team might be left out of it until the later stages of product development. On the other hand Google thinking to launch a censored search engine in China “screams” about needing the assistance of the legal department from the very beginning. I mean, who’s going to guarantee me, as a potential Google engineer working on this project, that I won’t be dragged in front of a Senate committee in 2-3 years’ time for “helping the enemy” or any such thing involving future US - China geo-political shenanigans?

A while ago some article had a great example of what can happen if the majority of shares of most companies in the same industry are held by the same investors: It punishes competition within the same industry. The example was about the airline industry where investors don't want airlines to go head to head on pricing. While some companies might benefit from this, it would lead to lower margins and thus profits for the industry as a whole. So this in essence might form a cartel.
The risk is because index funds don't do stock analysis (instead they buy and hold all stocks) they will invest in bad companies and prop their price up. Then when the bad company goes bankrupt (as everyone paying attention knows will happen) the index funds are left holding all the stock suddenly worth nothing.

Which is to say the traditional more expensive managed funds that actually pay attention to the fundamentals of the companies they invest in should see a comeback. While this style of fund is more expensive (because a human can only examine a few companies in a year in enough detail to decide if they are worth investing in - as a full time job you can maybe do 50) by investing only in companies that will do better than average they can beat the market (or shorting if you want to play companies that will do far worse than average). So far the low costs of index funds have made them a better investment despite them not investing in strong companies, but we should see the day where a managed fund can beat the index funds just because the index funds are leaving the advantages of analysis on the table.

You can argue [meaning this might or might not be correct] that historically managed funds have done worse than index funds because there are so many managers that anytime there is a slight deal someone jumps on it before the deal is large enough to pay for the costs of finding it. However if you don't jump on it someone else will and they make something on the deal while you make nothing. Thus as index funds take over there will be more and more deals for the managers to find, and managers can wait until they are large enough to be worth the price.

It will be interesting to see when/where the line is crossed.

For Bitcoin, BIP 70 was proposed (and quite widely implemented) to take care of a lot of these issues. I assume many other cash-style cryptocurrencies have something similar these days.

The DICOM standard has rather more to say about names than that:

A character string encoded using a 5 component convention. The character code 5CH (the BACKSLASH "\" in ISO-IR 6) shall not be present, as it is used as the delimiter between values in multiple valued data elements. The string may be padded with trailing spaces. For human use, the five components in their order of occurrence are: family name complex, given name complex, middle name, name prefix, name suffix.

Any of the five components may be an empty string. The component delimiter shall be the caret "^" character (5EH). Delimiters are required for interior null components. Trailing null components and their delimiters may be omitted. Multiple entries are permitted in each component and are encoded as natural text strings, in the format preferred by the named person.

For veterinary use, the first two of the five components in their order of occurrence are: responsible party family name or responsible organization name, patient name. The remaining components are not used and shall not be present.

This group of five components is referred to as a Person Name component group.

For the purpose of writing names in ideographic characters and in phonetic characters, up to 3 groups of components (see Annexes H, I and J) may be used. The delimiter for component groups shall be the equals character "=" (3DH). The three component groups of components in their order of occurrence are: an alphabetic representation, an ideographic representation, and a phonetic representation.

Any component group may be absent, including the first component group. In this case, the person name may start with one or more "=" delimiters. Delimiters are required for interior null component groups. Trailing null component groups and their delimiters may be omitted.

Precise semantics are defined for each component group. See Section 6.2.1.2.

For examples and notes, see Section 6.2.1.1.
Alberta created a free 1-800 number that you can call to discuss symptoms with a registered nurse.

If there is any hint that the issue is serious they tell you to go your doctor (or emergency). But for many minor ailments advice over the phone is sufficient.

I suspect the service cuts down a lot of unnecessary visits to emergency.

Getting there is definitely the hard part. Even in the show they had to go through nuclear apocalypse and rebuild society in order to get there.

Another problem is getting people to think "contributing to society is virtuous". It's possible that this idea may be at odds with human nature (similar to Soviet and Chinese implementation of communism).

Fair enough; it would have been more accurate for me to say that bees don't necessarily have a conscious experience based on what we see.
Quoting my previous comment:
"I think it also useful to semantically separate cognitive consciousness (i.e. Knowing and expressing the existence of your thought processes through arguably higher, more abstract thought processes - which might even go on recursively - knowing that I know that i am conscious, etc) from the externally unmeasurable 'conscious experience', (i.e qualia, the awareness of sensory or thoughts at the most essential level, 'seeing' what one sees, etc).
One could imagine a living being with one but not the other, for example qualia without cognitive consciousness (if I had to guess, I would imagine this experience to be similar to being drugged to the point of having no internal monologue, no complex thought process, but keeping your sensations and vision, etc, or being a barely-sentient animal in purely instictual mode of thought and action)

The opposite, cognitive consciousness without qualia - a.k.a the philosophical zombie - or a computer which can argue the existence of it's thoughts without feeling them is, I gather, a more controversial state of being.

What I find interesting is that in separating the two 'consciousness's, the former ends up taking almost all of the importance and the latter none - anything which can be externally measured ends up in the first category (which is a computable logic process), which leaves very little of utilitarian/evolutionary/algorithmic importance in the second. However, in much discourse about consciousness the latter takes a disproportionate role (i.e fear of losing your unmeasurable consciousness when teleporting, etc, though the cognitive consciousness, being by definition a logical and measurable process is theoretically preserved)"

In this case although the article, to get quick views, appeals to our love for the mystical attributes of the 'conscious exprience phenomenon', the paper actually studies the (in my opinion much more) interesting empirical characterisation of the level of cognitive consciousness in insect 'brains' - i.e., how elaborately their software models its own processes.
All these 'plugins' are simply scripts and tools which configure the linux kernel iptables and network forwarding rules right?

None of them actually handle packets, connections, routing etc directly I assume?

Given that, it seems disingenuous to benchmark them... You're simply benchmarking the Linux Kernel vs the Linux Kernel.
(Index) funds solve a problem that we shouldn't really have anymore.

The problem is that (semi) manually trading securities is inherently expensive.

Funds solve that problem by massively reducing the number of transactions that are required: 1000 people investing in a fund investing in 1000 companies needs 2000 transactions instead of the 1000000 transactions needed when 1000 people invest in 1000 companies directly.

But there really is no fundamental reason anymore why you shouldn't be able to just buy small numbers of shares from a thousand companies via electronic systems. A million transactions is not really a problem for modern IT, nor is managing 1000 positions in your account.

Yes, there are some more practical problems (the valuation of individual stocks being too high for small investors to buy even a single one, preventing front running on index changes, tax refunds, ...) - but I would think all of those should be possible to solve in a way that is both economically feasible and has the individual investor holding the actual stock to prevent those accumulations of power. And you still could have the possibility to delegate your voting rights to some organization you trust--but that could be decoupled from the investment "product" or account itself, plus you wouldn't be required to delegate the power for all your investments.

Or we could just make laws that mandate that funds must delegate voting rights to their investors, i.e., make it as if they were holding the stocks directly in that regard?
STEM characters in films reinforce racial and gender stereotypes
Code128 has special control symbols that are distinct from ASCII control characters which are used for framing/formating in context of GS1. Datamatrix also has special symbol that is equivalent to FNC1.

The fact that scanners often encode FNC1 as some arbitrary ASCII character, with GS and ^ being common choices or even reformat the data to something resembling the human readable representation (ie. "(01)..." instead of FNC1 0 1 ...) is only about the scanner interface.

But IIRC QR code does not have any special out-of-ASCII control symbols and GS1 structures are encoded with ASCII GS instead of FNC1.

No one is saying you should use SCP for anything or that it's an alternative to any of the others - none of the tested protocols are practical alternatives to each other. It was included to provide a comparison point for the encrypted version of WeaveNet.

Encrypted WeaveNet handled plain TCP traffic at 1,330 Mbit/s. Without the SCP comparison there's no way to tell whether that's really really good or really really bad. Seeing that the unencrypted version of WeaveNet handled SCP at 1,594 Mbit/s shows that it's not horrible, but could probably be better. It's good for WeaveNet folks to know they have some room for improvement and it's good for you because you might want to consider alternatives if you require encrypted traffic and are very bandwidth sensitive.

How to Use Basic React Hooks for State and Effects
Yes, I was livid when they did this because there was an extension (Pentadactyl) where I had to maintain compatibility myself by recompiling it.

I wrote this Hitler parody about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taGARf8K5J8

Text version: officers tell Hitler that he has to upgrade FF because of bugs but warn it breaks his extension again. He dismisses the importance until they break the news he can't install the recompiled extension even if he says it's okay in about::config. Hitler goes ballistic about how that defeats FF's mission to give control back to users.

Climax: "If every tweak must be personally approved by Mozilla employees, why not just shrink-wrap the browser and make me buy it from Microsoft at Best Buy?"

Epilogue (real-life): Mozilla has now broken extensions so badly that you can't recover some of Pentadactyl's functionality, like customizing key commands. (At least, they won't take effect while on a tab until that tab's JS has loaded. Seriously?)

But hey, at least I get Looking Glass forced on me with a cryptic message that makes me think I've been hacked. That's worth the tradeoff, right?

Ah, true. I hadn’t internalised that you only have to announce it publically in cases with “a high risk of adversely affecting individuals’ rights and freedoms”.
Same experience here, perhaps there's a different agreement for social visits and commercial meetings.
Thanks for the detailed reply. Was a very interesting read, and definitely helped soothe my scepticism.

Regarding benchmarking -
I think boot-time is not a very good test, as it varies greatly depending on the guest VM. A fresh install will be pretty consistent, but it's not a very reliable and repeatable test.

You need some hard data - graphs, charts and counts.
Maybe check out DiskMark or some other tool like it,
Then run test inside normal VM and your encrypted-disk VM.

Second -
I wonder if there's a way you could let people experiment with your solution without "giving it away". for example-

1. Compression-As-A-Service - a simple website, people can upload a file, get the compressed file back.
This way they can compare the size to Zip/7Zip/whatever,
And you don't actually give them the algo
(You'll probably say - "without my algo they can't open the file or use it, so they won't see the crazy fast IOPS." ,
But it might be enough, at least as a first step).

2. Compiled algo, limited distribution -
I have a feeling you wrote this in some low-level programming language, not Python and such.
Could it be compiled to a binary?
If so it might be safe to distribute, as it will require serious reverse-engineering to decipher.
You could also "watermark" each executable you send someone, so it has to "dial-home" via internet before it works, and will help you identify who released it to the public in case someone does.

Hope this helps, and please feel free to connect with me on other channels as I'd love to help some more :)

Radium, the wonder drug!
Getting a card cancelled is a massive inconvenience - not least of all because you're without a card for the short term - but then you need to update your payment details on every service you use (that isn't a direct debit). Having one place to enter your details is way more convenient.

Plus you get the bonus of having an auditable trace (ie via unique virtual cards) of who made what payment. This would be invaluable if you then want to contact the business that compromised your details. For example in some instances they might not even be aware that they've been hacked - eg if they're running an off the shell solution like Magento but not kept up with security updates.

So there are still some benefits to the aforementioned service even aside the topic of liability.
> You can't eat food grown in huge areas of Europe.

Do you mean Tschernobyl? It depends how you define 'huge areas in Europe', there is a good overview on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster#National_an...

According to this table, 10 % of Austria is contamined with 37–185 kBq/m2 (lowest contamination of this table). You can eat food grown anywhere in Austria, I do not know where 'food not edible' starts.

But just the fact that you now have to discuss such things is wrong enough.

The risk is that Vanguard, State Street, and Blackrock, employ small 'governance teams' whose job is to vote on your behalf. Since they don't have an explicit fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the index funds, but do have an implicit one, it can be argued that you don't actually have a vote in how the component companies are run.

But what about the whole "give users control of their machines again"? What if I have an extension originating elsewhere -- say, because I'm a sympathetic person Mozilla claims they encourage learning to code -- and I want to bypass the usual protections.

* these are called promos\promotions and match you see similarly on https://www.google.com/
* promos are also used to include PSA's such as advertising a link to assist in disaster recovery efforts
* this has actually been around a while, the capability to include promos has been around in code since at least 2011 if not longer
* the local NTP page does not currently have a way to include promos, try enabling chrome://flags/#use-google-local-ntp and you should notice all promos disappear today
> Mozilla is, to some extend understandably, concerned with the image of Firefox and patrolling what Addons are available in the store is part of that.

This is a non-sequitur. Reviewing things on their addon store has nothing to do with requiring a mozilla signature for sideloading.
You might want to see the comment I just made above. The two dpdk based plugins will give you the best latency and throughput. Vpp is a full-blown virtual switch, so I'm not sure if you need something that extensive.
the issue arises because typically the fund acts as your proxy when it comes to voting rights (most index investors are looking for a reliable and easy return, not a voice in corporate governance).
So long as the two broken up funds are both index funds it won't matter. Index funds all work the same way so a million tiny funds will have the same effect as one large one.
