What about free education and knowledge?

What about culture?

Those things shouldn't be exclusive to people with enough money. We talk about common goods here and especially education and knowledge have to be free as they potentially facilitate a positive development of mankind.

It's unbearable that still parasites like these are gaining wealth without adding real value to their customers as well as humanity itself.
When I had a visual shield between my screen and people walking around.

When there is enough space that some one else's conversations did not cut through my headphones which do not play music by just cancel noise.

When what is the problem is articulated well (I do not mean details for a task, I am ok with a problem with no known solution but there needs to be a common articulation of success..)

When my co-workers are emotionally secure enough to have a discussion where any and every idea is open for a challenge. I hate to say this but "disagree but commit" is a good mantra as long as "disagreement" is not used against you, actively or passively. I burn more energy navigating my path around egg shells and consequently have less for what I need to do.

A CISO's task is thankless.
Beyond financial compensation, which is comparatively lower than the "rock star developers" or executives, the CISO does not get thanked for making the product(s) more secure, ensuring security tends to add more dev time and QA steps which makes everyone working on the product feel like things are taking longer.

The CISO is fighting against the mindset of all other managers in the company who just want to "deliver" the features to make their numbers for the quarter (so they can get a bonus or be promoted), and the developers who are required to "cut corners" both in terms of quality and security in order to ship.

Both Yahoo and Facebook have a history of insecurity that dates back far before the arrival of Alex Stamos, who as others have said, is the "fall guy" when the leaders of the organisation prioritise short-term profits/growth over the security of user's data.

I find the amount of money in these cases so staggeringly high that I can't imagine that a vast portion of 'those in power' are not complicit in some ways. There is simply no way to mix this amount of money back into the system without lots of people of statute being involved.
Please note that the editors of this film interviewed lots of prominent women in the Algorave scene, and then mostly cut them out of the edit, soundtrack and credits.

And then there are civilised countries that do not have national ID, yet their citizens can vote, purchase property, access higher education, obtain employment, access credit, or public health, among other fundamental rights. Hence, national ID is clearly not necessary.

The UK now has half of this: you have to prove your right of residence in order to rent property, and you have to prove your right to work in order to work, but there isn't a national ID system to enable that.

(The decision that people can't "vote, purchase property, access higher education, obtain employment, access credit, or public health, among other fundamental rights" without ID is a political one, it's not necessarily intrinsically required)

Ok it's not a totally accurate comparison. However it's also not a completely different situation.

I get the impression that you have in mind hiring a prostitute, in a well functioning society with no poverty, and with a well fare system that people can fall back on.

Actually I read about someone in the country where I live -- he was working as an artist, made okay with money, and decided to quit his job and work as a prostitute instead. After doing that, he made about as much money as before, and he liked being a prostitute, better than his previous job as an artist. I think he and his customers -- it's fine, I see no problem with that. He also did not have a traumatic childhood or anything like that.

However that's different, from an earth quake disaster site. There, people are struggling for survival and food and shelter, and some of them will do things they don't really want, to stay alive.

I want the aid workers who did not become aid workers to help anyone, but instead to take advantage of vulnerable people, to be fired. And replaced with others who are genuinely interested in helping people -- I think the latter will do a better job. And b.t.w. I think these two groups of people: men looking for cheap sex with vulnerable women and children, versus genuine helpers, are non-overlapping.
Thank you for that. I re-use them myself - I justified it as a harm-reduction technique because I test and inject myself more regularly then. This will make me take the extra effort.

You are very welcome.

Aside from the issues mentioned, there are of course some great people featured in the film, saying great things.

There will be a public response from Algorave community at some point (a blog post or video perhaps) to address the issues.
Every time i see a headline with that wording "we need to talk about x" I just ignore it. Often it's just click bait into something that is not really up for serious discussion and should rather be "I need to tell you what to think". I'm writing this to reduce the usage of it. And no, I will not write an article with that title about that subject.

Not quite; reddit and Imgur are normie-4chan. 4chan was definitely not normie-SA, it attracted the sleaziest of SA from the start; it was more an anonymous refugee camp.

I certainly function (mentally and physically) better in a state of ketosis. Notwithstanding my personal anecdote, I want to add to your observation on energy/atp (in the mitochondria) efficiency and BHB/ketones.

A lot of people counter argue that the body/brain run more efficiently primarily on glucose and glycogen rather than ketones. While it is true if you introduce sugar (glucose) into the blood, cells will generally begin to produce energy/atp primarily from glucose over ketones. However, it is not because the glucose is more efficient, in fact ketones are smaller making them the a more efficient fuel source of the cells. For example, bc they are smaller they cross the blood-brain barrier more easily and are more efficiently used by brain cells to be converted into energy/atp (in the mitochondria).

I think there is a reason we call it “getting knocked out of ketosis” because that is our natural state. That is forget high fat/low carb and abstain from all calories and drink only water to stay hydrated and the body will go into ketosis, which is what we are talking about when we discuss “fasting” as a metabolic state (vs say a culturally/religiously defined “fast”).

I realised why I hate such pieces: It's fanboyism.

In reality, the most recent conflict is/was against the Taliban/Al Quaida/randoms grouping, right? The Taliban's navy is no match for the US Navy, but the Taliban won against the US anyway. The previous was perhaps against those Somali warlords, who also beat the US. The US had better weapons, but the Somali found a near-suicidal tactic that eventually made the US cede. Around the same time, Saddam didn't exactly win but he didn't exactly lose either. Before that, Hezbollah forced the US out of Lebanon. The US had more bombs and weapon systems, but the Hezbollah had enough bombs and good-enough ways to deliver them.

This piece doesn't seem to even try to relate the warships and their abilities to any of these four conflicts. Fanboy crap.

Also, RISC-V hasn't been bought, litigated, and buried. Alpha is great, but we're about as likely to get new implementations of it at this point as we are of the 6809 or v20.

RISC-V's future is looking better and better. Who knows? Maybe TSMC or Samsung or one of the smaller fabs puts out a multicore version on a fairly modern process node and gets a multi-player motherboard market built in Taipei, Seoul, and Shenzen. It could be a player in laptops, desktops, tablets, and mobile rather than just embedded and SBCs. It could even be done without a premium going to Intel, AMD, ARM, nVidia, TI, Freescale, or IBM. The possibilities are exciting, because every time I hear about this ISA and its implementations it's better news.

> The brain runs almost entirely on beta-hydroxybuterate

This is not true.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3900881/

Quote:
The mammalian brain depends upon glucose as its main source of energy, and tight regulation of glucose metabolism is critical for brain physiology.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27826689

Quote:
β-Hydroxybutyrate (βOHB), a ketone body, is oxidised as a brain fuel. Although its contribution to energy metabolism in the healthy brain is minimal, it is an interesting metabolite which is not only oxidised but also has other direct and collateral effects which make it a molecule of interest for therapeutic purposes.

> The most efficient diet for humans is one high in fat, moderate in protein, low in carbs;

This is not true.

Scientifically proven best diet: Whole food plant based high carb, low-moderate fat and low protein.

Unless the body is starving, fat and protein are not converted to glucose (the main energy source for cells) to cover energy needs.

Having kids is expensive (even when health care and education is free, they eat and wear clothes and play sports and stuff!). People also want to work and not just raise kids, I think. I don't know of anyone with half that many kids.

I think the Swedish culture is also very practically minded. (Romance is dead!) Which means the practical drawbacks from having a big family (car size, expensive vacations etc) will weigh a lot.
ParaSail:A Pointer-Free Pervasively-Parallel Language for Irregular Computations
Type 2 is insulin resistance. In other words your body produces insulin to clear sugar from the blood but the body no longer responds (actually clears the sugar from the blood) to insulin.

The resistance (type 2) is built up over time (historically it was “adult onset”) to insulin spikes. I don’t believe saturated fats introduce sugar into the blood, so they don’t cause insulin spikes, which means they don’t contribute to resistance (at least not directly).

In a roundabout way they may contribute to a surplus of calories and the storage of fat, ultimately causing obesity, which does seem to speed up the resistance to insulin. But all things being equal the same surplus of calories on a high carb diet will be more detrimental because there will be insulin spikes and the insulin will also enlarge fat cells allowing the body to store more fat (ie become obese more efficiently).

In the UK we don't have national ID but try and do anything without a passport or driving licence.
The scientific process typically involves making inferences and conclusions based on an observation, whereby the result often include biases and in some cases even ill-constructed hypotheses that are caused by assumptions and imperfect information.

One way to reduce 'fraud' and also increase accountability of the individuals and organizations is to secure raw data at its source which the veracity of the data that will be subsequently used to support downstream conclusions can be easily verified and attributed to its source. I'd say a bottom up approach here is more holistic as it incentivizes people to produce high quality research that future work can then be reliably be built on top of.

This author and her collaborator developed a tool to flag potential issues in papers. It appears to be FOSS, and based on a well-understood piece of bioinformatics code. "Nature" doesn't run material from cranks and misfits, so hopefully this will start a serious discussion.

Going forward, should journals, or the peer-reviewers they engage, test new papers with this tool? Sure, it turns up false positives and false negatives, so its results cannot be interpreted mindlessly. It is also possible to game a tool like this. But it seems obvious some authors are already gaming the system.

Undergrad teachers use software tools to check student writing for plagiarism. Shouldn't information-based science use similar tools?

We hackers can contribute to this kind of effort by encouraging and supporting open-source inspectable tools. Maybe there's even a business opportunity around maintaining and using the tools.

You don't say that a scientist lacks influence based on his/her current papers, or even based on whether they're currently alive.

What we do now is based on SA, 4chan then. Reddit is the influence of those sites, it didn't eclipse them, it amplified them. The part of reddit that isn't SA and 4chan is pretty much Digg, which is why censorship of even the most horrific speech represents an existential threat to the company.

Really misleading headline. It will gentrify like everyone else, the factory has already been closed for two years! Jeeeez!
I have a slightly another idea. Any research activity of a scientist should be recorded by him/her in his/her own repository. Any activity, like reading a paper, or moments like "I have an idea", or "lets try a small scale pilot experiment with fellow scientists of mine as a subjects", or "pilot experiment was unsuccessful, but can be modified...".

Any publication should be forked from the main repository, selecting from any relevant data from parent, and in that fork strict procedures of scientific research are recorded, processed, and finally end up with an article.

In this case you can track how an idea was formed, how it was modified to match empirical data. You can track when methods of data processing was chosen (before gathering of data or after), and so on.

Such a repository can give enough information to decide was the research is a fraud or no.
Bezos Selfie Controversy Triggers Alarm for Billionaires Worldwide
The short answer is NO.

The long answer is that there's patchsets like linux-rt which give it better "soft realtime" behaviour, but no hard realtime (deadline guarantees), thus not actual realtime.

Linux-rt allows "coexistence" with "hard realtime", but it's basically a cop-out: Just reserve a processor to run something else than Linux for hard realtime tasks.

In reality, while linux-rt patchset (not mainline) suffices for most pro audio work, Linux has over a million LoC of trusted code base running in supervisor mode; It should not go anywhere near where anything requiring any kind of assurance is running. This happens to be the case with tasks requiring hard (i.e. actual) realtime, as hard realtime is all about guarantees.

My advice for hard realtime would be to look at seL4 and eChronos, both open source as per OSI definition, and pick the one best suited to your design.

Companies would rather hire less-talented, less-perceptive, less-skilled workers if they will express fealty to mandated bureaucratic marching orders, even if it means paying more money, letting projects fail, losing business, etc.

Companies _will not_ negotiate things like letting developers have autonomy over the process by which the work is managed and delivered, or letting developers have private offices.

This is just standard Moral Mazes 101 stuff. Preserving the property that employees behave like obedient dogs instead of free thinkers is the absolute number one mandate, to the detriment of all else.
I've gone through sample, seems a good book.
Quite. Fortunately we can have our cake and eat it. We can, and do, have for-profit companies invest capital in expensive drug development. We can and do protect their investments for them with patents, and by shielding them from competition from generics for a period. In return we regulate the prices they can charge.

That all seems fair and reasonable to me. The companies both benefit from and are constrained by regulation. They wouldn't exist without regulatory protection, so it's fair that it comes with a cost. In reality the question is what constitutes fair regulation, and that's something reasonable people can disagree on.
