It should also be noted that the federal carbon tax is a tax-and-rebate scheme. Ie you get taxed on the carbon and the revenues get refunded to the consumers. If you make a lower-carbon choice, you keep your money. If you don't, nothing really changed. It's also slightly progressive, since lower-income folks will actually come out ahead by a bit without making any changes.

Warning: strong political opinions below.

What we're seeing is really a replay of the ACA reaction in the US. Obamacare was a rejigged Romneycare, which was a rejigged Heritage Foundation plan which was a reaction to the Clinton's healthcare plans. It was a conservative, market-friendly approach to solving an issue... until it was actually implemented. Then we found out it was just a talking point meant that was never meant to be acted upon, a mere cover that allowed conservatives to pretend they were interested solving an issue.

Likewise, the tax-and-rebate scheme is basically most conservative and market-friendly approach to tackling climate change that actually produces results. But now that it's actually been implemented, the Ford/Kenney/potential-Scheer governments are reacting by repealing it and replacing it with nothing that produces results. Because they don't have the guts to say simply "No, we don't believe in this and we're not going to do anything about it"

I lived about 300 km from the epicenter for many years. Large parts of that region are nothing but jungle and rivers, with little villages spread around. The natives build their houses/huts mostly using tree trunks tied together with vines, which are surprisingly resistant to strong earthquakes because the structure is so flexible.

Yurimaguas and Tarapoto do have a sizeable population, but still, from what I heard so far the damage is nothing compared to the 2007 M8 quake that destroyed 85% of Pisco and killed many hundred people.

Last I checked, make only handled dependencies with multiple inputs and a single output.

If your build step's command produced more than one output and you wanted to model that in your DAG you had to resort to some questionable incantations that never really worked perfectly (or rely on non portable constructs).

There's currently no known "public" exploit for this vulnerability, but when it arrives it's going to be a nightmare. This subreddit is tracking BlueKeep progress.
Not a founder, but I worked for a small company which was buying hardware and rented it out to their (much bigger) customers. Usually they didn't have the money for getting the hardware and had to get a loan from the bank. I don't think, there was much risk to it for the bank, because the company would get it back over time with the signed contract. But that might be my bias.

The founder told me that they were lucky because if the customer would have wanted even more expensive hardware but the bank wouldn't want to lend the needed amount of money that would be a problem. Also timing was important for contract signing, securing the loan, getting the hardware and installing it.

I'm not an entrepreneur myself, but I vaguely recall an interview with a tech executive of some sort in which he said that he regretted buying servers instead of leasing them because the latter would have given the company a more solid credit history.

I don't quite the distinction you're making. A paper being published in a reputable journal is almost by definition relying on its authority. Even if they allow you to download the underlying data, it won't contain any personal identifying information of trial participants that you could verify.

> Newspapers exist to make people trust them, to appeal to authority so they can influence people's opinions arbitrarily any way they see fit and sell that influence

That just reads like some conspiracy theory. Newspapers get people to trust them by being reliable. I don't need to evaluate every single story they run when I have done so with some subset and usually found them to be correct.

If you think LISP is cool (here comes a shameless plug), I think you might be interested in Tree Notation (http://treenotation.org), which you could call LISP without parentheses. In the same way that a Tesla is a car without gas, LISP without parentheses can be drastically better. Imagine you get the power of LISP but you also get clean data, program synthesis, visual programming and more...

Clearly not all of them will be invaded by the germans, but there are nevertheless strong similarities, and quite general lessons to be learned about human behavior. Just concluding that that Russia does bad things misses the point.

Political control of the economy inevitably means an enormous concentration of power. Instead of your boss, your landlord, your mayor (and your priest) being independent forces, if they are all one person, then that person has tremendous, almost total, power over your life. The history of what people do to others when they have total power is not pretty.

The US founding fathers were keenly aware of this, although they lived too early to imagine that economic control was really something ought to be included in the list. Their concerns about un-opposed power have not been proven ill-judged.
Thing is they're probably not living in big constructions, just small huts which is much easier to survive these tragedies I think.

Remember that drums are two dimensional, but circular, so there is at least one more thing in their response: the timbre if the sound is affected by the radial location of the hit, which encourages different harmonics and hence a different sound. You can also hit parts other than the drumhead - and the rim and head (nearly) simultaneously.

My theory is the fed isn't all powerful with interest rates. They have target rates they wish to achieve and one way is to buy and sell treasuries on the open market. Treasury prices are still up to the results of an auction process. But there is usually a secondary market you can buy from from treasuries that have already been awarded to someone.

The debt itself is not fearful. Being unable to sell treasuries at low costs will be a big change. The fear is that todays political climate could indeed be too messed up to act in time so that congress has the authority to spend. Missed payments are going to be a problem if it happens.

But I'm not a finance expert.
I relied on a line of credit for my solo consulting business. Was fine for many years until 2008 struck. Lost in the static about 2008 is that from approximately October through the end of the year many businesses couldn't get commercial paper debt, no one was buying.

In my case both of my clients failed to pay routine invoices, which lead to my being late with a single payment on the LOC. The day after I paid (albeit the bare minimum), the lender closed the LOC and my affiliated credit cards and demanded repayment of all outstanding debt. I ended up digging into my IRA to clear the debt as prospective clients were calling out the debt as a reason not to hire me.

I had relied on the LOC to smooth out month–to–month invoice zaniness with client purchasing departments. It had never been a problem until 4Q2008 and then it was a critical problem.

One of the two clients never paid, the other paid about six months into 2009.

I refuse to float clients any more and require all hardware to be paid for before I buy it or purchased/leased directly by the company.

Took me over a decade to clean up the hit to my personal finances and credit rating.

It looks like the app only sent song selections so there's no "communication" in general.

Honestly I think it might be worth looking into the idea of metadata collection as eavesdropping. Unless there's an implicit technical requirement for data, the company should need to explicitly request it.

For phone lines it's obvious why the service provider is party to the communications:

caller --> switching equipment --> callee

The bose situation is more:

user --> bluetooth --> headphones

+--> bose

Though this sort of ruling might just drive everything to an even more disgusting state of centralized services so that companies can claim an implicit technical need for data.

Not quite. TI$ on the C64 was maintained by the 60Hz Timer A interrupt (in fact, remarkably similar to this method, but using IRQ instead of NMI and built into BASIC). You are correct that the CIAs have Time-of-Day clocks, but BASIC doesn't leverage those. However, some apps like GEOS do.

I think too much experience can also cause this. I see this from time to time when we design new systems or products: everyone is optimistic about the idea but the more senior people you have in the room there's more chance someone paints vivid pictures of how everything could fall horribly into pieces if we meet this one corner case that they saw in a slightly related project 2 decades and 5 companies ago.
It's not really off topic because you're hiding a super niche use case behind misleading language. e.g., You present two choices: "audit Cargo" or "copy some source files." But those aren't actually the two choices in practice, because in order to copy the source files, you actually need to obtain them first. And in order to obtain them, you very likely need to use some software to do it. And the most common pieces of software you might use to obtain said files are likely just as hard (or harder) to audit than Cargo is.

So upon further clarification, it's much clearer what your position is: "auditing Cargo myself is much harder than trusting the security of some other piece of software that has been---and continues to be---subjected to rigorous auditing by either teams of people I trust or by systematic processes that I trust." But of course, this doesn't sound nearly as nice as, "why would I audit Cargo instead of just copying some source files." Hence, it's misleading.

Once you expose your actual stance, IMO, it's pretty easy to say: "oh okay, you are in a particularly interesting niche which, while may be important, is likely not possible to serve right now. So you'll have to continue avoiding Cargo or otherwise wait until it has met your arbitrary requirements for auditing." But it should be supremely clear that the vast majority of people are not in your position. (And I suppose that would be your cue for some snarky response about how this reflects poorly on the state of software engineering.)
It reminds me of Mark Fisher’s concept of “capitalist realism” — it’s easier to imagine the end of the world (voluntary reduction of the birth rate to zero, clathrate gun feedback loop) than the end of capitalism.

Analysis of German election software security (2018)
I've encountered a paper before that argued the opposite, that Hitler's rallies didn't appear to actually have much impact on voter preferences, but now I can't find it. Too bad.

Firstly, where did you get that abstract? It appears to be selectively quoted and also phrased much more strongly than the copy of the paper I found. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you got it from a different source to the paper itself:

https://poseidon01.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=6120850860711060...

The final two sentences which you missed out are rather important in any discussion of the effectiveness of propaganda:

"The effect of anti-Semitic propaganda varied depending on the listeners’ predispositions toward the message. Nazi radio was most effective in places where anti-Semitism was historically high and had a negative effect in places with historically low anti-Semitism."

Later the paper authors draw the obvious conclusion:

"This result highlights potential pitfalls of propaganda: it can backfire, if listeners are unlikely to believe its message."

It's very unfortunate that this part of the abstract went missing - one might say it was censored to strengthen a political message ;)

I also don't think this sort of pseudo-scientific historical analysis is much use overall, to be honest. No criticism for raising it though, as Adena et al are of course welcome to contribute their views to the debate. But consider the replication and statistical failures in fields like psychology and biology, where experimentation is possible. Now consider that this paper in the field of history, where experimentation is not possible, makes claims like this:

"In the absence of radio during the campaign for the September 1930 election, the Nazis would have got additional 4.1 percentage points, i.e., 22.3% instead of 18.2% of the total vote."

Two problems with this.

1) The version of abstract you quoted claims "significant negative effect", but the paper itself says the opposite. It says the modelled effects on the outcome were "modest", "not big" and "such a small difference".

1) They specify precise numbers but can't possibly know this: it's wild conjecture made to look scientific by the use of extremely high precision. Modern opinion polling in contemporary elections routinely yields numbers far off the final result - we can't even accurately measure or model things happening right now, but here they're making claims to 3 significant figures about a parallel universe that never happened, on the results of an election that took place nearly a century ago.

It makes intuitive sense that campaigning and speeches have some sort of impact on voters, if only to inform them of what politicians believe. But it's not clear that trying to censor such speeches works in an environment with many other ways for people to find out what candidates stand for, like word of mouth.

This is a very complex topic that’s been studied and discussed for decades. Further study and discussion is great, but this article didn’t add much beyond some opinion.

The author misses half the concern of button layout: target acquisition, or “how long, once I’ve found the button I want to use, does it take to tab to it/move my mouse to it/tap it and how likely am I to miss (and potentially hit a different element/button with potentially frustrating or disastrous results)?”
You? Yes.

"Tech" companies? Nope.
"Appeal to authority" is a fallacy in the case where someone asserts authority where they have none, e.g. taking a scientist's advice on a subject because they're a scientist, even though their specialisation is completely unrelated to the subject at hand.

Deferring to relevant expert opinion is really the only thing you can do for the vast majority of things, since you can only be an expert in so many things. Unfortunately, "appeal to authority" is sometimes interpreted in a way so as to discredit authority in general.
