Assange has not been on the wikileaks staff for 6 months, reportedly. It’s not even clear whether he has internet access anymore. And obviously, if they had been silent on this matter people would now throw accusations of a convenient coverup.
It stands to reason that they weren't identical because if they were they would both have worked.

The thing separating you (in this case) and Amazon/Google/* is that they make sure their processes produce predictable outcomes that if they were to fail can be shutdown and the process can be redone until it yields the correct outcome.

I’m using Bitwarden [1] and am happy with their product.

It’s open source and you can self-host it quite easily if you don’t want to use their cloud. They do have a free tier and a premium one for $10/year.

It’s been a while since I set it up but if I remember correctly I didn’t like the official implementation due to performance reasons and am now using bitwarden_rs [2] instead.

I used to play with an idea of a science fiction novel, where the united Earth's currency is essentially kcal/kJ. The problem is that if you have a flammable and radioactive material, do you count the energy you get from it by burning it, or the energy from throwing it into a nuclear fission reactor, or the energy of throwing it into a black hole in a particular angle[1]?

There may be a little bit of a selection bias going on - as you described - but it is worth remembering that back in the 50s and possibly 60s system administrators did used to be quite a female dominated role because they used to manage the cypher machines during the second world war while the men went off to fight and thus that trend of seeing women in server rooms continued a little while after.

Sadly the designing and building those machines were still male dominated - the female role was more administrative than what we now think of as a "sysadmin".

As for what caused the shift to become so male dominated. I couldn't say for sure. I have a few theories but I wont share them as they're largely speculative.
This technology is fundamentally non-scalable because it relies on potassium hydroxide chemistry to sequester CO2. Let me explain:

Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is manufactured by electrolysis, which is electrical power intensive. The amount of KOH manufactured every year is a microscopic fraction of the total CO2 emitted every year. Scaling this up to the same scale as CO2 production isn't simply a matter of building more KOH factories: the implied vast electrical power generation capacity and infrastructure simply doesn't exist at this scale. You would need to build massive power plants along side your KOH manufacturing. This is the kind of thing that only works when you have access to cheap excess hydropower.

And this ignores the secondary issue of scaling potassium supply sufficient to support throughput at CO2 scales, even with recycling. Potassium is a mined mineral with limited reserves that is critical for agriculture. Reliable access to mined potassium is already a major concern for food security and this would require increasing the rate of mining (and depletion) of potassium reserves many-fold. No one is going to care if we've reduced atmospheric CO2 if billions are starving to death.

tl;dr: This CO2 extraction process has severe practical limits to its industrial scalability. Its feasibility relies on leveraging the excess capacity of existing industrial processes, which is only possible at tiny scales for use as a point solution.

Atmospheric CO2 sequestration is a bitch. The thermodynamics and chemistry rate limiters are extremely unfavorable to an economical engineered solution. Fortunately, the planet has a prodigious background sequestration rate that can be leveraged for free if human CO2 production is reduced sufficiently.

My recollection as a nerdy teenager who had a Voodoo 3 at the time. The Voodoo 4 and Voodoo 5 series were highly hyped and anticipated and after the success of 1, 2 and 3 this kinda made sense. They were quite delayed however and before they made it to market they were slightly blindsided by the NVidia's release of the Geforce 256, which was (iirc) the first graphics card which had its own onboard transform & lighting support, which when supported gave an insane performance bump. In the end the Voodoo 4/5s were released late, board + driver quality was supposedly not great and the range of cards was far less than originally promised (only the low end Voodoo 4 4500 and upper-middle Voodoo 5 5500 were released, the lower-mid range Voodoo5 5000 and ambitious top-end 6000 never saw light of day). Performance wasn't great either, it was generally slower than the G256 even in games that didn't utilise the G256's T&L unit. Then shortly after NVidia released the Geforce 2 series (I ended up getting a Geforce 2 MX, which was insane for the price) which was so far ahead of 3dfx's offerings it wasn't even funny.

Hope I remembered this rightly but I really remember that Geforce 256 being so much better it was like night and day. I stopped playing PC games when I went to university around the Geforce 3 era, so that's when my knowledge of the topic drops off a cliff :D

Valve has their DRM solution ([1], "CEG"), but the DRM is fully optional, as it needs to be applied by the game developer to their executable before they upload their game.

I don't have good examples in mind right now, and I would need to double check, but I am pretty sure I was able to launch Supreme Commander 2 trough wine directly with the game executable, without launching Steam some time ago. I also recall "Tyranny" doing a free week-end, after which I could still launch the game trough the executable (although steam refused to launch it). That was a Linux game, though, and could be slightly different.

I would roughly estimate that more than 20% of my Steam library does not have DRM attached to it. There are a couple lists out there that help find DRM-free games on Steam [2][3][4], etc.

Some game developers advertise this as a feature of their game on Steam. For others, it could be an oversight. I find it pretty convenient in any case (example: copy FTL on a USB stick for playing on the go, even without internet connection on an underpowered computer). It also helps with wine.

The only success the drivers had were the lock-in they created to the hardware with Glide, which itself was a thin layer on the underlying hardware. Many games used Direct3D or OpenGL without Glide support and worked just fine.

Hell, Quake itself was written on miniGL which was a subset of an abstraction layer built (IIRC) on top of Glide.

And really, OpenGL at the time was simple too. [Check this OpenGL 1.1 reference](http://www.talisman.org/opengl-1.1/Reference.html) which also includes GLU and GLX function and even with those, the number of calls is very small.

I use my own password manager and would not trust many proprietary third-party developers to get things right. Most of them have a long history of failures.

It's safer to self-host and store encrypted backups elsewhere for integrity. If you're not familiar with encryption or cryptanalysis, then you can use some open source encryption programs and a text file on an encrypted partition. That's a thousand times more secure than any proprietary online password manager.

For some passwords it is also more secure to keep them in plaintext on physically secured notes. It depends on the threat scenario.
What really bugs me about this is that it reminds me of the dotcom days. Microsoft ASP stacks made it easier to find less experienced developers to quickly develope sites, no one having an awareness of optimisation and instead would throw hardware at it. Large clusters of DEC Alpha servers would handle the same amount of traffic as a single FreeBSD on a PC, but this cost difference wasn't a problem when investor cash flowed easily and shifting Microsoft and Cisco products fed into the revenues of the system integrators which was fine since revenue growth mattered more than profits.

I've seen this with many AWS deployments, which on a pure hardware cost is 3-5 times more, but with the way it makes it 'easy' to scale instead of optimise instead costs 10-20 times more. When the investor cash starts drying up and the focus is going to be on competing for profits in a market that is much smaller in general, many organisations are going to find themselves locked into AWS and for them it's going to feel like IE6 and asp.net all over again.

I understand it's anecdata, but I still do not completely get how you can die from slow heart rate?

Why heart shouldn't get a signal to beat more frequently if body starts to lack oxygen during sleep? Is it just because the blood is so thick and moving so slow it will clog and may produce a sudden heart attack? Thus you need to "manually" keep up the heart rate?

Seconding Bitwarden. I moved to it from LastPass a while ago and I'm glad I did. It's simple and easy to use, open source, and they keep improving it.
I think I've spotted a paradox.

I'm generally pro-markets, but I don't think they're a panacea. They mostly seem to concentrate rather than decentralise wealth. If you're poor, you can't enter the market at all. If you're middle class, you can make some bets in the market: maybe you win, and maybe you lose, and if you lose enough then you become poor and are knocked out of the market for good. But if you're rich, you can afford to hedge and diversify your bets, staking out positions along the whole of the efficient frontier, hiring analysts to figure out exactly where that is, and perhaps paying for a bit of regulatory capture so that you can tilt the market in your favour. Of course even the rich can still lose money on the market by being complete idiots -- but that's basically the only way they can lose money.

So, anyhow: betting markets centralise money.

Now let's say that society votes on a value: "we want to decrease inequality". So they create a futures market which rewards policies that decrease the society's Gini index.

The market responds with a variety of policies. Some work, some don't. The policies that work increase the wealth of the people who bet on them. Per the above, none of those bets will come from the poor; some of them will come from the middle-class, and a disproportionate share of them will come from the rich.

Hence, in this system, a policy which reduces wealth inequality is one that makes the rich richer. Seems like a variant of the Liar's paradox.

A potential solution would be for everyone in society to be given a basic income that was only usable for betting in the future's market; this would keep the poor in the game. Moreover, you'd need a cap on the amount of total assets one could have in the market (say, 4x or 10x the UBI), to eliminate incentives to game the market via regulatory capture etc.
> The petrodollar hypothesis is a myth. The United States, now a net oil exporter, does not depend on Saudi oil.

The notion that the United States does not depend on Saudi oil (or that it's energy independent) just because it's a net oil exporter is a myth. Not all crude oil is equal. The US has an abundance of light oil which it exports but it still imports a lot of heavy and sour oil from OPEC and Canada.[1]

[1]: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=727&t=6
> Last time the US was a net oil exporter was in the 70s

Pardon me, edited. Point being that the net oil imports the U.S. economy requires are too small to be entirely dependent on Saudi oil. As long as the KSA is selling oil, the critical factor to the American economy--oil prices--will remain roughly stable.

James wasn't invited because she believes Obama-killed-his-friend conspiracies; so that argument doesn't make sense. Those conspiracies are clearly unrelated to AI ethics and so she was clearly representing something else. She was likely included because she is obviously great leadership material given what she has achieved as an African-American women. Someone of that caliber, and representing a conservative viewpoint to boot, was obviously a reasonable addition to any ethics group.

> The notion that the United States does not depend on Saudi oil (or that it's energy independent) just because it's a net oil exporter is a myth

One, this has nothing to do with the petrodollar hypothesis. The U.S. dollar is fine with or without the Saudis dollar denominating their oil. If anything, the causation goes the other way. The large American consumer base generates dollar supply, which creates dollar-investment demand, which leads to economies of scale across the dollar financial system.

Two, yes--switching from Saudi crude would be painful. But within the scope of foreign policy, it's not unprecedented. Moreover, switching the Saudi military and financial system off American support would likely cost the House of Saud its country. Long story short, NOPEC is a low-probability bill. The KSA should have ignored it instead of levying empty threats.
The US doesn't need to invade Saudi Arabia because it already has a major Air Force base there.
> Part of the problem is that many software developers work in organisations where that kind of information - dollars saved or made, time saved, steps reduced - isn't shared.

It's not even that they are not shared. It's that the importance of projects is often measured in dollars spent, complexity, amount of people working on them. Which means that often the inefficient teams and solutions are considered more important- their managers and tech leads have more people under them and they are more visible to the rest of the business.
That looks to be the issue though, it’s a generic Android TV update so any generic standalone Android TV box is just as likely to get it unless you run custom firmware.
The waters are muddy. This, strongly suggest that their point was what I outlined:

> Deduplication is really hard to get right. And it prevents retrying an operation. When someone says, this is safe to retry, its actually saying, you can't retry this, subsequent calls are noop.

The comment you replied to was seeking opinions on whether there is a better way to refer to the case where we an operation with potential side effects are guarded against executing twice for a given input.

This is a common use of idempotent in software development, no matter how much people with a maths background might dislike it. But it does muddy the waters, hence the question that was raised.

It is very hard to get a company to sponsor you for the appropriate visa. Whilst your skills and experience might be very attractive, there are many people with comparable skills who get visas at their own expense, come over and then apply for jobs. Perhaps your company might have projects in Australia that could be assigned to work on. That would overcome both the visa and employment hurdles.
