Not a fan of all this fear-mongering around China. Any competent country has stolen/will steal IP from other countries.

It's also pretty hypocritical for the US to constantly blame China, when Samuel Slater stole the designs of a textile factory and arguably kickstarted America's industrial revolution. Of course, now that the US is at the top, it tries to act like there is some natural law protecting IP, and that there's something morally wrong about it.

I like this quote by Newton: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."

Note: I will concede that some balance needs to be struck so that people aren't completely disincentivized from making new inventions. But I don't think China is running that risk, considering its cutting-edge 5G technology.

Isn't that also the official name of the feature in Rust? Isn't &T in Rust pronounced "reference to T" and "&mut T" pronounced "mutable reference to T"? That is the impression I get from: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrow...
> A fine position if you don't care about businesses abandoning the European market and the US government using it to justify retaliation against EU companies in the US market.

Oh well. We might become as isolated as China. Businesses don't care about rule of law when there is profit to be made. Also most people are capable of understanding how laws and courts work.

Tor is as close as we might get. Onion services (especially v3) are arguably even more anonymous than browsing clear-web sites because there isn't a clear exit node. Tools like Ricochet and OnionShare allow for ethereal onion services that can open the door to some interesting usecases.

Look I'm not defending anything our country does and what they did to Manning was unconscionable. I think Manning acted in good faith, she may have crossed the line some but the punishment far exceeded what the situation merited. But I can't say the same about Assange. Now I'll admit the espionage charge is very "odd" for attempting to crack a password. But Assange did some stupid dangerous crap and got himself caught up. Simultaneously embarrassing and royally pissing off the CIA, NSA and the DOD is an epically dumb thing to do. I don't know what he was expecting to happen or what his game plan was. What the hell was he thinking? Manning got thrown under the bus, Assange stood in the middle of the road and dared it to run him over. I don't know how sorry I should feel for him at this point.
It's not exponential in cost. It's just not linear in cost. It must be polynomial then.

From some family experiences, whatever intelligence services reported to Party bosses, if it did not agree with the Party dogma, it would be ignored.

Besides, they lived much better than the average Soviet citizen (degree of inequality was far greater than that between a ghetto dweller and Zuck), and that's what they wanted to preserve.
If anything greater than 2-3 months is long term and challenging your motivation and discipline then programming might not be the right path for you.
> Assange is quoted saying to Manning that he was "still trying, had had no luck yet, trying different tools".

Which is evidence that he probably wasn't trying at all (and was lying to Manning) because any moderately-competent teenager with a computer can tell you that the only tool you need to use is johntheripper.
>Everywhere in the world where knowledge is being suppressed, knowledge that, if it were made known, would shatter our image of the world and force us to question ourselves – everywhere there, Heart of Darkness is being enacted.

Indeed. We're watching concentration camps form and fill right now in China and nobody cares because it isn't Westerners being "re-educated" and we like our cheap televisions.
America is in the world. Next question please.

Seriously though, there's millions of people here who have been left out of the exclusive and rich club. The UN repeatedly dings the USA for the standard of living of many of our citizens and our terrible legal/justice system. So much of our government meant to help those people is either deliberately underfunded or mismanaged and can use all the help it can get.

How the heck can we figure out how to help government abroad when we can't even get our own right?

I was working in adtech company and heard that a lot about GDPR. Oh, we had some loses due to GDPR, it is ruining the ad industry etc. Guess what? The population didn't change there's the same number of internet users. What changed is how much information you are able to collect about users, and not just you but your competitors as well. You might need to adapt, but that happens in every industry.

Frankly laws like GDPR might actually be saving the industry, because the arms race to figure out how much information you can get about users is why users start using ad blockers.

CCPA -- the California Consumer Privacy Act -- has real penalties for data breaches [0]. When there is pure negligence in play and the business doesn't cure with 30 days notice, the law seems to explicitly provide for a minimum $100 / person penalty. And up to $750. There are amendments in play to remove the 30 day cure grace period; whether they pass this year or not, we'll have them within 5 years (personal bet).

Basically, breaches can be an extinction event for a company in California starting 1 January 2020. A couple companies are gonna take one for the team, and shortly thereafter, boards will be very interested in security postures.

...in exchange for a partnership between private companies offering a free service. Other than the non-compete from the IRS, I'm not exactly sure what these private companies get out of it? If they're hiding access to their free filing, then its not to up-sell. In 2007, they stopped allowing things like loans against returns.

Feel free to have a different opinion on this. The program has been around since 2001. This bill just extends the same program.
The government hasn't historically had a great track record with developing web services. I see things getting better with things like the USDS, but that was only formed in 2014 and Congress keeps cutting back funding of the IRS.

The current contract expires in 2020. I can't see why its a big deal to extend it. The specific language is “to not enter the tax preparation software and e-filing marketplace.” and my understanding is that it doesn't preclude development, just launching it.

But I would love if the IRS would develop a first party solution.

I once had a beer with a RAAF engineer who used to maintain the old Caribou transports. He'd been doing it for so long he said he could remember the catalog part numbers of almost every engine component off the top of his head.

He said maintenance on those huge radial engines (The Caribou uses pretty much the same engines as the old DC-3s) was phenomenally time consuming and expensive, and spare parts are increasingly harder to find.

Yes I did come across Gibsonenv and it looks great for indoor scenes.

As far as photogrammetry of forest trails, I found it to be very computationally intensive (taking a GCE 32 core instance 30+ hours using 90+GB of ram to compute a scene, only with errors that made it unusable). It felt very heavy handed and given all the great work I've seen in scene understanding using neural nets, it seems like deep learning would be a promising approach here. Maybe there is commercial photogrammetry software that has better pipelines, but I want to be able to compute my scenes on linux and use hundreds of images.

I did my computation with OpenSFM and OpenMVS. Both wonderful projects for being free and open source. I did get a lot of great results. But I am convinced a simpler way is possible with deep learning.

I worked at Mozilla Research in the early days of Asm.js and sat next to that team. I would frequently tell them that they should support arbitrary control flow, and that there were better ways to achieve it with Emscripten than the Relooper. There wasn't much interest in improvements at the time, although it appears that the LLVM WebAssembly backend now uses a better approach.

While SpiderMonkey itself might support fancier things with control-flow, they were writing a separate compiler for Asm.js that relied on structured control flow for SSA construction, but I have no experience with how things evolved after that. Reading the thread at https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/796, it seems that V8 and SpiderMonkey have roughly equivalent design constraints.
Some of these absolutely makes sense and are justified; others...are actually sane to have in c++. For instance:

> int foo(void)/int foo()

In c, int foo() means that foo takes any number of args; c++ rightfully realised that that was stupid and removed that feature, which means int foo() can now be used to mean foo takes no args. Also, int foo(void) is illegal in c++.

Varargs in c are a complete pita to use, not to mention they literally do something different from function overloading/default args.

Constexpr is much nicer and safer to use than a macro.

Using malloc and calloc to make class instances means you can have unconstructed objects, which is a Bad Thing, and while introducing a new operator to do that is not necessarily the best way to handle that, it's a perfectly valid way of doing so.

Libc random is just garbage, and libc++ random is actually decent.

setjmp/longjmp are more complicated to use than try/catch, and don't have all the same functionality.

<iostream> functions are type aware (although really they should have used fmt).

I'm no c++ apologist (it's an awful language), but this listicle is just...not great.

Mail fraud, wire fraud, intellectual property theft, copyright infringement/piracy, subpeonas, a law from 1806 about people with white hair, i-dont-like-your-face, etc.

My point isn't so much that this one specific violation wouldn't qualify for extradition. It's that the laws are so intentionally vague and broad and numerous that they can be interpreted in such a way to charge _anybody_ with _something_ if they want to.
It's a bimodal distribution; if you have mechanical or electrical issues, they are generally quite good with service.

Magnificent aircraft. A local airline here used to have an airworthy example, and I am so glad I managed to take my 10 year old son on a flight on it before they retired it.

This reminded me a little of the story of Raymond Scott's
"Electronium" machine, which was not a digital synthesizer, but a very early analog "algorithmic composition/generative music machine", back in the 60's and 70's:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronium

https://www.laweekly.com/music/raymond-scotts-electronium-ne...

He worked for Motown for several years as a creative director, but it seems no music that used the Electronium was ever released by them.

Scott himself was a very interesting man, having earlier lead jazz bands and some of his earlier compositions were frequently used in cartoons of the day, the most famous of which are probably "Powerhouse" and "The Penguin".
Yes Equifax has accumulated employment and income information through their purchase of The Work Number (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Work_Number) in 2007. They have 200 million of employment records and likely a higher multiple of paychecks.

They have a large share of the fortune 500 companies in the US. If you have worked for a large firm in the past, it's likely that every single one of your paycheck is somewhere in their database.

I believe this is less of a technology issue than a culture/adoption issue, and if widely adopted, could really improve consumer efficiency.

The idea makes plenty of sense from both a producer and a consumer standpoint. Packaging, especially when not automated, accounts for a significant portion of the cost of goods for many basic goods.

You already see this in grocery stores: the deli counter and often the nuts/grains sections, and I'd argue the produce section use minimal packaging. Expanding this to other sections seems like a pretty straightforward to reduce deadweight, if consumers adopt the practice.

Like Spotify, is their catalog often arbitrarily populated with whatever the most recent remaster is, or some other random release? There is value to having a lossless rip of a specific pressing of a given album. Especially with the case of albums that were mangled with limiters etc during their "remasters."
