What do you mean by that? What I meant was that a lot of the sources for Novoya Gazeta regarding the murder of Anna Politkovskaya (as an example) who was one of their co-workers was Wikileaks. The very openly blamed Kreml/Putin. I don't know how else can I phrase it, I answered to the statement that "publish anything that would embarrass Russia".

Also "Spy Files Russia" aka a national system of online surveillance. That counts too. You can call him an asset all you want and you might be right but the statement that is repeated by the media and a lot of the Americans that they never publish anything on Russia is simply untrue.

The goal is to build housing that is actually used as housing as opposed to a vehicle for speculation.

Legislative policies determine the type and terms of the "market economy" that is lived in.

If today's luxury apartment had a decent probability of being tomorrow's affordable one it would not have demand. Unless of course one assumes that luxury buyers are seeking to lose money.

True. People didnt care about who had their data until the data started being used unethically. But now these unethical practices are so common, they are considered ethical.

Well, currently, it's public whether someone voted (though of course not what their vote was). Assuming that's still true in this fancy system, that count would then have to match the count of how many encrypted votes there are, so you can't forge fake ballots from whole cloth (without people noticing). The best you could do is to try to defraud both systems, by identifying who won't vote and then submitting a fake vote for them.

Sure, you can't verify every single vote, but it doesn't take that much time/money to call up, say, 100 people (relative to the expense of running this whole system). If you contact 100 random people from the public record of who voted, and all 100 say "yes, I did actually vote", then the real result (excluding fraudulent votes) is unlikely to differ from the recorded result by more than 1%. And, obviously, you can drive that probability down as far as you want with more expense, but that'd only be important for rare close elections.

I've been exposed to air toxics risk assessments through my work. The problem, in my mind, is not the toxics we're facing in our homes (or even outdoors). It's that humans are really bad at understanding risk. Let's imagine an annual Thanksgiving dinner presents an excess lifetime cancer risk of 2 (made up number -- probably much lower). Many people would find that unacceptable. But why? Many activities we engage in every day present much more material risk. For instance, this article says the odds of dying in a car crash are approximately 10.7 per 100k. That is 10,000 in a million. Yet we gladly get behind the wheel every day.

Noncancer effects are gauged in terms of multiples of the lowest observed effect level or the no observed effect level. If across a spectrum of exposures, we observed no effect at a certain level, that would be our NOEL. Of course, the observed effect could be a runny nose. 100x the NOEL could still be a runny nose (it could, in fact, be no adverse effect at all), but people see 100x the benchmark level and freak out.

In my mind, we really need to reshape this discussion around toxics. People are willing to suffer great costs to avoid hazards that do not, in fact, present material risks.

The one we can dispense with is encapsulation.

Polymorphism, no; I mean, how can we substitute different kinds of objects into the same situations dynamically without polymorphism. OOP is almost synonymous with polymorphism.

But we do not have to bundle code and data representation together; there are other approaches to OOP, like generic functions.
OK, but fascism also isn't conservative or right-wing.

Benito Mussolini: “If the 19th [century] was the century of the individual (liberalism means individualism), you may consider that this is the "collective" century, and therefore the century of the state.”

Benito Mussolini: “Against individualism, the Fascist conception is for the State ... Liberalism denied the State in the interests of the particular individual; Fascism reaffirms the State as the true reality of the individual.”

Benito Mussolini: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."

Benito Mussolini: "It is the State which educates its citizens in civic virtue, gives them a consciousness of their mission and welds them into unity."

That sort of government-oriented thinking sure isn't conservative or right-wing.
It's a good question.

I guess one part of it is that alt-right sources pre-inoculate readers against potential sources of truth, by calling them liars.

For instance, Snopes is often held up as a good place to go to debunk things. Except one of the things you learn early on from even moderate right-wing sources is that Snopes is apparently massively left-wing-biased, and since they've been wrong or biased on a couple of things, it means their entire worldview is suspect. And of course you can't trust any of the lying mainstream media.

So at that point you hit up Google and - surprise - the only sources of truth remaining are right-wing sites, and left-wing blogs trying to discredit them; but the left-wing blogs have a very obvious political bias, and they're just written by some guy in a basement, so of course they're lying too. So you're left with only writing that confirms what you suspected in the first place.

I guess the only way out of that is to be smart enough to notice the internal inconsistencies or plot holes, or that some of the facts that are being asserted simply cannot be true - and then principled enough to care about that. Both of those are probably quite high hurdles for a casual news-reader.

Certainly in less extreme circumstances, when I have occasionally checked moderate right-wing sites to fact-check my own left-wing news sources, I have found it very hard to trust that those sites might be correct, and that my favourite news site might be mistaken. And I don't do that anywhere near as often as I should do.
I assume this is sarcastic?

I wasn't saying any thing about the EU. It's quite different from America, if for no other reason than because citizens of EU nations see themselves first and foremost as citizens of said nation, not the EU (which is understandable, as that is the case). The question here was concerning America. Do you really believe the bulk of federal overreach in America is comprised of "standardization"? The Constitution authorizes such measures: weights and measures, currency, etc. That's not part of it.

Brand new luxury housing stays brand new forever?
I hear people make this argument all the time, but it makes no sense to me.

How does a car "put you down in one place" or "prevent you from moving easily"? A house prevents you from moving, a car literally moves you to many places. Cars are inherently mobile, that's kind of the whole point.

Similarly, a car is not a huge investment. A house is a huge investment. College is a huge investment. Any trip to a hospital in the US is a huge investment. Cars are cheap, all things considered. It's a climate-controlled, roll-cage-protected closet, with a built in luxury couch + radio + satnav system + emergency cellular connection, that can also propel itself quickly and reliably for hours at a time. And the total cost of ownership for most people is somewhere less than $300/month or so (even when including a loan payment for the upfront price). That's pretty darn cheap.

I could own 5 extra cars, for less than the cost of a single tiny 1bed apartment. I could own 3 extra cars, for less than the cost of daycare for one child. I could own 3.5 extra cars, for less than the cost of health insurance. Cars are pretty cheap, all things considered.

And unfortunately, there's literally nothing that can match that on comfort/speed/reliability/coverage right now. Just to get those same trips out of a train or airplane would easily cost 5x to 10x higher price. Busing can occasionally be cheaper (because a bus is literally just a shared car), but it only does that by making huge sacrifices on comfort/speed/reliability/coverage.

> I personally enjoy taking a train to where I’m going much more

I mean, I totally get that. I love trains too. (I ride Seattle Light Rail, just for fun, and we take Amtrak to Chicago semi-regularly). Trains are fun. Trains are cool.

But trains aren't really good at transportation of people. Trains go almost nowhere, almost no one has access to trains in the first place, and the cost of trains is significantly higher than cars (both on what a single person has to pay to ride either, and on what the total infrastructure costs are for the entire system). It's pretty understandable how a car would give people a lot of real-world freedom, in a way that a train never could.

Yeah, good point. It makes me doubt that they will issue bucket-specific certificates at all. Perpetually exposing every single bucket name seems like a bad trade-off just to satisfy certificate verification.

The US reacted to the end of the first world war by retreating from global affairs. They didn't even join the league of nations their president was instrumental in creating. WWI was terrible, but it simply did not result in the drastic societal changes that WWII caused.

WWII was the start of a new world order with the USA at the forefront.
He wasn't. He produced a show and RT aired it. As did some Italian television program. Journeyman Pictures was the distributor. They have a good YouTube channel by the way. Noam Chomsky also took part of one episode.

A lot of people have appeared on RT. Yes, it's a Russian state owned television and obviously propaganda, but so is any other state (or private in fact) owned television/news reporting agency. BBC is being broadcasted in every language you can imagine in. No doubt Russia took advantage of the situation, but there's nothing suggesting that Assange is a Russian agent that gets parroted everywhere. Heck, not even the Mueller report said anything like that and it was very long. At least not the redacted version.

Recent... and interesting...

> Respondents in this case do not dispute that passage of the CSA, as part of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act, was well within Congress' commerce power. Nor do they contend that any provision or section of the CSA amounts to an unconstitutional exercise of congressional authority. Rather, respondents' challenge is actually quite limited; they argue that the CSA's categorical prohibition of the manufacture and possession of marijuana as applied to the intrastate manufacture and possession of marijuana for medical purposes pursuant to California law exceeds Congress' authority under the Commerce Clause.

Seems to me that this is actually arguing against the federal government.

But then...

> the diversion of homegrown marijuana tends to frustrate the federal interest in eliminating commercial transactions in the interstate market in their entirety. In both cases, the regulation is squarely within Congress' commerce power because production of the commodity meant for home consumption, be it wheat or marijuana, has a substantial effect on supply and demand in the national market for that commodity.

I will have to dig into this to understand the nuance, but... it seems that it might be slightly different.
It becomes affordable after an extended period of its price decreasing, or appreciating slower than inflation... Which we're all waiting to see!

In psychology/neuroscience, many refer to this generally as heuristics. It’s astonishing how much the mind relies on these heuristics from aspects like language (as you’ve pointed out) to visual perception. Many think the main purpose is to speed up processing tasks and require less “resources” so that cognitive load is freed up for other things. One of my favorite examples of this is how car drivers seem to fall into a sort of “auto-pilot” mode freeing up resources to think about random things like what you’re going to eat for dinner once you get home.

I think the ELI5 way to look at it is pattern recognition and then using those patterns for not only prediction, much like ML models, but also in other things like physical actions, emotional response, etc.

Many theorize it is that these heuristics are trained and the “path more taken” is the default. It’s when a stimulus doesn’t fit that path that the brain has to decide whether:

1. Is something wrong with this?

2. Is this a new path I need to start paving to speed up future processing?

Whether or not that second choice is made is dependent on lots of things co-processing at the time: Emotion, attention, attitude, etc. How much that path is paved is also dependent on those things.

This idea is fundamental to areas of study like symbolic systems at Stanford [1]

This approach isn't incompatible with an HSM, as per:

> The signing keys (hardware or software) are kept exclusively on this device.

We still want to make very sure that the build environment itself hasn't been tampered with, hence keeping the build machine itself isolated too.

A much better approach would be to use reproducible builds and sign the hash of a build with a hardware key, but we didn't want to block an improved build setup on reproducibilizing everything.

Edit: we may be missing an HSM trick, though, in which case please elaborate :)

Nice work on this! I think apart from the very valid points raised by Joel Gru in his presentation slides, Jupyter Notebooks are woefully inadequate for exploring and understanding code that utilizes libraries. I'll take the FastAI library as an example since Jeremy Howard is the one who took Joel to task regarding criticizing Notebooks:

If I view any fastai notebooks taken from their repo, there are a million imports (having a bunch of `import *` statements in the fastai lib doesn't help things) and methods and classes keep popping up out of nowhere. Good luck making sense out of them in a notebook. At least in Pycharm or VS Code, it's one Ctrl+Click away from viewing the relevant source code and having a somewhat better idea of what is going on.

Debugging is woefully inadequate compared to the Pycharm experience (VS Code is slowly catching up with Pycharm on that front).

I've only found 2 good uses for Jupyter Notebooks:

1. As a scratch-pad to try out things without any plans to utilize directly or share the code with anyone

2. As a means to write well documented examples/code with a bunch of markdown...especially when I'm modeling things that have a lot of equations, where the LATEX support is a boon and makes the documentation in the notebook far superior to what you could achieve in a regular .py script.

In almost every other instance, you are better off using a full-blown IDE with a far superior development environment, ability to have venvs, superior debugging, superior code management/refactoring and most importantly, much better reproducibility.

All that being said, I think the direction in VSC is definitely a great step in the right direction. I honestly love VSC but can't give up PyCharm yet as it is still a long way ahead of VSC when it comes to Python features (much better linting, much better management of venvs and run configs, more powerful debugging experience... though VSC is getting pretty good, much better refactoring support and PEP-8 reformatting/linting). I really hope there is more of a push within MS to continue improving the Python experience in VS Code. Nothing would make me happier than to consolidate my work in VSCode! Keep up the awesome work!
