None taken. Believe it or not I'm mostly on your side. I published this because I've managed to do this in 4 hours, for fun. It exploits the url based blocking which is so prominent but so easily subverted, and If I've done it anybody can, so I wanted people to know.

Having said that, I must add, I don't think this is malicious software. Beside the legalities and the GDPRities which I may have overlooked, when you ask a website for its content that comes with analytics, but you want to block analytics. I don't think you can complain about the content provider bypassing your attempt at blocking it. Don't get me wrong, when I come across websites that stop me from browsing them because I use uBlock I usually bypass their block, or close the tab, but I can hardly complain at their attempt, or deem it as malicious, IMHO.

Not sure about big bang, but there's a scene in the most recent season on Silicon Valley about this scenario.
Methinks Lisp-machine is just a memory, which is CONS-structured and infinite and has garbage collector built-in. The processor sees only CAR- and CDR-ports and also a command port, where the memory hardware can be ordered to do LAST and ASSOC and other memory-intensive operation. The processor(s) are regular and do what processors do best, like adding and multiplying numbers. Every processor has its own access ports to the Lisp-machine, which is challenging but interesting.
I also find it a much more helpful section than 'recommendations'.

Something simpler is more effective in this case, in that it gives me much more relevant results. Why is that unfortunate?

> Such processes rarely are memory-bound, and from what you write (it would use CoreFilters that support GPU acceleration "when available"), yours aren’t either. So why would you want to limit the number of consumers by looking at memory usage?

In my case it was clearly memory bound. I demonstrated it through instrumentation and profiling, then addressed it by using an admission control scheme exclusively built on memory.

The stream isn't unencrypted, though. Chrome's cloud spellchecker sends over HTTPS, for obvious reasons. (It's also an opt-in feature.)

I strongly suspect grepping against inbound production traffic to Google's spellcheck service is fairly difficult to do unnoticed.

Malware, on the other hand, is quite prevalent. Plenty of folks lose their crypto on a daily basis in that manner.

You're right that crypto is pretty useless for people like you and I who have access to high quality bank services. But to people who don't really have access to legitimate bank services they're a godsend.
Your issues with geo limiting around content are almost entirely an artifact of the publishing systems. Having had to work on those things, amazon does not actually want to waste time implementing them except that it's a requirement to get the content people want to buy. Put the blame where it belongs.
A blockchain is just an immutable database that can be appended to or overwritten by majority.

It doesn't have anything to do with trust and definitely doesn't provide any form of it, but trust is at the core of several human concerns like currency. Thus, blockchains are fundamentally unable to serve those uses regardless of how much hype is thrown at it.
Lol that’s open source marketing 101, GitHub issues are the main source of outreach.
If I had all places where memory is allocated under my "jurisdiction", I think this would be a very applicable solution.

Unfortunately when calling APIs to process images, some opaque code that you don't see ends up doing allocations on your behalf, and you can rarely pass your own pool to allocate memory from.
How Much a Dementia Patient Needs to Know
As a developer who has recently been through the hiring process, I think the problem is not a shortage of talent, but rather that companies are awful at hiring. Here are a few of the main issues:

1. Don't limit your potential talent pool to the miserable and the unemployed. In theory, any developer who is currently employed might be interested in leaving their job to work for you. Perhaps you will offer them more money, or perhaps a better quality of (work) life. However, most developers won't bother to talk to you if they already have a job. Why is that? Simple, if they do talk to you, you're going to offer them a homework assignment. You're going to tell them that it shouldn't take more than an hour, but it will actually take two full days to do right. Giving someone a homework assignment isn't a way to woo them away from their current job. So you are left with a candidate pool that consists mostly of people who are desperate enough that they have to agree to jump through your hoops (i.e. unemployed, miserable in their current job, etc.)

2. Don't discard capable people. The average interview begins with a remote code challenge whereby the candidate, who is probably nervous, has to pair program a completely contrived problem with a complete stranger watching them over a webcam. There are tons of developers who are good at coding solutions to real world problems in real world situations but simply don't perform well in this type of situation. This type of scenario is not really assessing a candidate's skills. It's assessing their familiarity with specific contrived interview problems and their ability to perform under duress.

Of course, the points you raised are fair as well. Recruiters are not technical people, they are sales people. You will have to find a good recruiter. They are out there, you just have to find the right ones. But my point is, once you find the good recruiter(s) don't waste the human capital they can being to you by having a terrible interview process. Here is my advice. Once your recruiter has a handful of resumes you like, carve out half a days worth of 30-minute sessions to meet with them at the recruiter's office. Ask them about projects they've worked on. You'll find out much more about what they know and what they're like to work with than you would with the typical remote code challenge. One you narrow the pool down a bit bring them in for on-sites.

Best of luck!
Catch up???...

Anyone even semi educated or over 55 recalls that when they grew up, most items came in glass containers, containers that you were required to place a deposit, and return for a refund.

It's only recent history, that a non conservative society which values expediency at a price of disposability and non ownership for freedom has become the norm.

More than this, the recycle scam is finally being exposed, and not soon enough in my estimation.. Islands of plastic in the Pacific ocean, so that people in cities feel better about themselves while driving to and from yoga in their prius while finger wagging truck driving hillbillies in the middle of the country.

Meanwhile, mayors, local reps, and governors try to export the problems somewhere else while millenials look to the federal govt and the administrative state as their saviours, so nothing really has to get done. Cue the food/milk/bag/whatever delivery as a service folks. This has cash cow written all over it..
Deposits and glass work well for fairly local industries; the big soft drink companies have a broader geographic reach and so are motivated to make a lighter bottle to reduce shipping costs. Legislation would probably be needed to require reusables or make disposables unattractively expensive to corporate HQ.

And that's before we even mention sachets. The very devil.
The MIT Lisp Machine didn't have lisp primitives in hardware. It had two extra hardware features, it could fetch two 16bit instructions at a time, and a fast multi-way branch instruction. Other than that it looked very much like a modern RISC architecture.

I would say that the main feature of a Lisp Machine is that you do everything from within Lisp.
Sounds like it is slightly higher power. From the article:

> Asked if there is any tradeoff by integrating a BAW resonator in the wireless MCU package, Wong noted a potential power delta at about 2% — “a couple of hundred microamps.” He called it “a reasonable tradeoff, [considering] its benefits outweigh [it].”

But, I guess if you can invest the money and area you saved by not having an external crystal and buy a 2% bigger battery, which is probably a net win.

How does that stop others from gaining access to your private keys?
Yea, it's something that we want to do at scale (rollers, dice) via machine vision so all the "well actually" people that pop out of the woodwork with edge cases can be addressed ahead of time.

Hahaha, not ready to dox myself yet but you can probably figure it out with a little digging.
Ah, thanks. My bad.
The same could be said for any number of things we consider to be private property. Unless you physically can see with your own eyes everything that you "own", how do you know some bad actor hasn't run off with it? Well, our society gives us a whole bunch of protections in place which give us some peace of mind (security systems, laws, etc.), but you can't know for sure without some verification.

So if you have the private key in your hand, and the address with your Bitcoin still has Bitcoin, while someone else could have your private key, why wouldn't they just transfer the money out?
Depending on your data I'd also wonder about the security restrictions between tenants. It's a thing I consider on AWS as well depending on what I'm doing.

That's different from 'real' yoghurt though. In Dutch we call yoghurt.. well, yoghurt, whereas if you strain it through a cloth it loses much of its sourness and becomes a lot thicker. Its then called 'hangop' as its become a different product, but I have no clue what the proper English name would be.

For a fun variation: Nordic yoghurt cultures work at room temperature. Viili (Finnish) and filmjölk (Swedish) are a bit more kefir like, and (fair warning) not to everyone’s taste. They are a combination of leuconostoc and lactococcus strains.

It might be harder to get a good starter for these in the US. Keeping a yoghurt culture in good health requires commitment too. It’s like having a pet, it needs regular maintenance.

MIT Tech Review: Breakthrough Technologies 2019
Riseup previously received an NSL and stopped updating their canary for a few months (only to resume later with new wording).

The NSL was most likely related to getting access to WikiLeaks' Riseup email address and to get r/w access to WikiLeaks' direct messages on Twitter. WikiLeaks had a Riseup email associated with their Twitter account.
TL;DR: Everyone knows that solar can provide electricity at 20% efficiency or heat at 80% efficiency. Almost no one is aware that windmills can do the same.

Instead of connecting a windmill to an electric turbine, you can have it churn a pool of water where friction raises the temperature without the conversion loss.

Fascinating article. I had never considered this.
Plants adapt. The ones that can tolerate the extra heat will survive better and therefore propagate more than plants that don't.

I loved HyperCard is got me interested in development and I spent HOURS working on the perfect stack.
> Hypercard was a thrust in the direction of the Engelbart/Kay/Papert vision of personal computing, one where there wasn't so much of a division between "programmers" and "users"

I couldn't agree more with this conception, and I wish that philosophy was more widespread within our industry. Sadly, it seem that the predominant philosophy is the opposite: users are mere consumers, cattle really, who should be grateful their programmer masters deign to provide them anything.
It seems odd though to suggest the same item I just bought over and over again.

FedEx Unveils Autonomous Delivery Robot
It’s not done for small bottled water in the US, but it is done for multi-gallon “water bottles”, i.e. the things you use with a water cooler. Mostly you’re not returning them, though (although you can return them); you’re just reusing the ones you own.

I feel like that might be a more sustainable system: a grocery store where everything is shipped to the store and held in large bulk containers (which can be reused between the store and the supplier), and then, when purchased (through a deli counter or machines), some of the contents of the large container are transferred to fill up a small reusable plastic container you’ve brought from home. (Either by plugging it into the vending machine—like with refillable water jugs—or by handing it to the deli clerk to fill. Or, in the case of bulk bins, just filling your containers yourself, and then weighing them at the self-checkout. [That presumes each container has some sort of standardized tare code on it you can scan so that you don’t have to weigh every container empty when you first come in.])
While 10.1 did a decent job of patching up more egregious issues, 10.2 Jaguar was the first truly usable iteration of OS X, and it incidentally also brought the first bits of toning down to Aqua.

A lot of folks fondly remember Snow Leopard but for me the golden era for OS X was 10.2 - 10.4. 10.5 and 10.6 were great too, but honestly speaking I wouldn’t be bothered if I had to use a modern version of 10.4 for day to day work.

part of trust is eliminating double spend. you can "trust" that when you received ownership of the digital asset, that somebody else didnt also get a copy or equal ownership. the decentralized trust replaces an authority saying "so and so owns this" or "you already spent that dollar." this happens in an environment where participants DONT trust each other to not cheat.

Normally I agree with that principle, but in the case of surveillance capitalism I've learned it's often the opposite. Any excuse whatsoever to hoover customer data to feed into marketing analytics is taken, with few exceptions. It's become the primary business model of the Internet and of consumer-oriented computing. Consumer oriented Internet services that do not productize the user are the exception.

Things like mobile apps and cloud-based assistance services are guilty unless proven innocent and I only use them if the value proposition is so high that the cost/risk is acceptable. I also try to limit their permissions as much as I can.

I tried Grammarly for five minutes. It was cool, but I dropped it when I realized that its business model was obvious. It was uploading every single thing I typed into anything to the mothership. Not only is this invasive as hell but it's also a massive security vulnerability. I don't feel like having my company's bank accounts emptied because someone hacks Grammarly or a disgruntled employee dumps the database and sells anything that looks like an account number on the dark web.
In the context of wallet word seeds you are correct. The dictionary is a 2048 word list that is standardized. If you want to spell check that you can roll something offline. Furthermore, the whole phrase has a checksum step so you'll know if you got one of the words wrong after you're done inputting the words.

> If you also sign off a different certificate saying we are a commercial entity that offers "support" (however we define that) for this software

There are companies that do that already. What's the issue? People that say "there's no support" either don't care to look, or have custom stuff that is not supportable via 'average' support companies.
> The same could be said for any number of things we consider to be private property.

Except if we are wrong in those other cases, we can usually use the legal system to help us recover our stolen property.

> So if you have the private key in your hand, and the address with your Bitcoin still has Bitcoin, while someone else could have your private key, why wouldn't they just transfer the money out?

Maybe they are waiting for you to deposit more bitcoin into that address, or maybe they are waiting to collect more private keys before exploiting them all at the same time, or maybe they... why speculate?

The idea that money can disappear without recourse because of one mistake in security or one highly motivated targeted attack is not, in my opinion, a desirable property of a currency.
