I was being sarcastic. It's disingenuous to use outliers as though they are apples-to-apples comparisons.

It is especially deceitful to compare absolute numbers from a tiny city-state with among the lowest populations againt a giant country with the second-highest population. At least divide by each country's total population to get per-capita numbers.

Vatican City is an atypical country. As other posters mentioned, there are many reasons why no-one with a Vatican City passport wants a nonimmigrant work visa for the US. Every individual who might possibly be eligible to have Vatican City citizenship and who wanted to work in the US would likely use their primary passport--probably Italy.

You're cherry-picking. And the cherry you picked is rotten.
Debit cards exist but credit cards are often the better option if you're going to use plastic.

The problem with debit cards is because certain transactions aren't instant in the US if there's fraud on your debit card at just the right time then your rent check can bounce, your external transfers are returned, etc, and all that stuff comes with fees and headaches.

Credit cards also come with rewards whereas rewards on debit cards are rare and not as good if they exist. Credit cards usually have auxiliary benefits like (depending on the card) return protection, purchase protection, extended warranty, travel insurance, and more, whereas debit cards have nothing of the sort. THere's no interest due on credit cards if you pay your bill in full every month.

The problem with credit cards is, of course, you have the ability to spend more money than you have, and you can dig yourself into a hole if you don't use that power responsibly.

The author points out that it isn't the physical ramifications of less clutter (more room to move, etc.) that improved his quality of life, but that he felt he had more room to think without so much stuff around.

I agree. Clutter isn't just about whether you have to side-step more ottomans, coffee tables, and exercise bikes. It's also about whether you're being bombarded with sensory information from your surroundings.

Whether it's a crowded home, a crowded coffee shop, a crowded social circle, or a crowded desktop, the deluge of in-your-face options and potential obligations makes focus much more difficult.

>An important feature here is that the new certificate has the same subject name and public key as the old certificate, so that its signature on the End-Entity certificate is valid.

Shouldn't it be impossible to generate a new cert (with a different expiry date) that ends up having the same public key as an existing cert?

One could make the point that Wolfram language is really a library of cloud functions which require their proprietary cloud service to be useful. It also looks a lot like a Lisp with M-expressions.

While a lot of those functions are impressive, what makes Wolfram a non-starter for me is the fact that you can't build a deployable app with it with anything but a notebook interface. A notebook might be great for a researcher but it's not a good interface for many other kinds of programs.

I also have an issue with Wolfram's documentation or the lack thereof. Because the functions take weird and unpredictable arguments, it's difficult to wrap one's head around what might fit where. This is a strong contrast to Lisp where the meanings of arguments are unambiguous, encouraging exploration and invention because you can keep the language "in your head." Wolfram creates dependencies on their cloud sever and their doc which will always make it niche.

That is true, but it doesn't exclude the possibility that if a particularly noteworthy event occurred, there should be at least one or more observers attempting to film it along with commentary.

Saying 'for 100 years, it advocated books that advocated for heliocentrism' means very little for an organization that is 2000 years old, and for which, for 1500 years of its existence, geocentrism was considered the correct, scientific viewpoint.

Heliocentrism was first advocated for by Copernicus who was a devout Catholic, possibly even a priest. Other scientists before Galileo advocated for it, and it was a popular enough opinion at Galileo's time, held by other scientists as well. Galileo was arrested (completely unfairly, in my opinion) for disobeying the pope. This places the case squarely under my exception of those arrested for unrelated, tenuously related, or personal reasons.

What we do when things go wrong
1. Mainframes are cheaper then distributed computing. We call them 'the cloud' these days.

If pointless things like solar windows become cheaper then utility solar, then utilities will just build farms of solar windows. You know what's easier then installing a solar window in a house wall? Installing one at ground level, without worrying about walls.

Instead of having a handyman drive for 50 minutes, and then spend two hours tearing apart my house to install 6 windows in it, they could have him install an array of 90 of them in one day at a utility site. Hell, he won't even need to make sure that they don't leak.
No, one public/private key pair can be used to generate or sign as many certificates as you like, as often as you like.
I can talk only for myself, but flat cost games lost me years ago. They either were not making games I liked or did not marketed them where I could find them. Effectively, I was unable to find a game I would enjoy without paying too much for games I did not.

Free to play games with microtransactions I liked were easy to find and whenever I guessed wrong, attempt was for free.

So for all the crumbling, there are people like me who gained on that development.

It's deceptive and unethical. There should be no surprise that legitimate payment providers like PayPal and even Visa/Mastercard would not want to work with them.

PayPal also does not do business with many Porn Websites, which are generally legal.
> The issue here is that this company did not violate PayPal's TOS

Untrue. Often the exact breach is legally prohibited from being publicly shared, but if a company is banned, then a TOS breach has happened. There is an unbelievable amount of red tape and compliance within every process, both digital and human, that occurs with regards to money and transactions. Especially in the fintech space, PayPal internally is bound to governmental regulations and auditing far more strict than any regulations imposed on customers. To suggest that PayPal can just close accounts at whim for any other reason than enforcement of legally binding terms and confiscate customer funds is simply absurd.
It's pathetic.

Looks like a good read. I haven't finished reading it yet, but there's something I still don't get ...

Windows and macOS both have a signing infrastructure for apps. The rules of that infrastructure dictate only that apps must have been signed by a valid certificate at the time they were signed. That way old app downloads don't need to be periodically re-signed just to account for expiring certificates. I can download a 5-year-old version of 7zip or whatever and it runs just fine because it was signed with something valid to the timestamp in the signature. The process of distributing desktop apps would be utterly insane if this were not the case.

Not following this model for browser plugins seems unnecessarily cumbersome. Is it really worth requiring all browser plugins to be signed by a currently valid certificate? Is there a document or blog post where this is argued to be more appropriate?

I get that it arguably leads to more stringent security, but I'm not convinced by the delta improvement of that model over the desktop model, given the additional downsides. And the "let everything expire after a few years and resign it" process should not be used as a substitution for revocation. After all, if it were determined retroactively that a malware extension was signed does it really help everyone that it can't be loaded in a year or two, given the damage it could cause right now?

But suppose they did? Suppose we find a well defined and a very valuable trait. And got a well validated test for that. And uncovered a fact what some group of people are worse off in that trait in general than some other group.

What should be done about those particular findings and that research in general if group of people in question is historically disadvantaged? And that trait is applicable to the areas they are disadvantaged in?

Suppose you want to improve the situation and make outcomes more equal (or opportunities more equal, or say you are evil and want the opposite, or whatever actual effect you want to achieve). Do you think you would have better success knowing the facts or not knowing them?

You can say it might be better not to know some facts because they give people who want opposite things more leverage. Sure. I disagree with that tactics, but it might work if not for the following: how would you know which facts to deny them if you don't know what the facts are?

Only way that move can make sense if you secretly suspect what the outcome of the research would be and think that it will be detrimental to your preferences.
No I'm not talking about the root, I mean they generated a new certificate (the intermediate) (with a new private key) that had a public key identical to an existing certificate -- you shouldn't be able to do this, public keys can't be "specified" afaik, they're derived from your private key and the signer's public key.

Understood, and I explained a bit more of my thoughts in another comment.

Whatever the GIF killer is will need to pass the right click test - I need to be able to just right click and save it.
