Syncthing doesn't do encrypted folders, at least last time I checked, so you can't keep a server in the cloud if you care about the safety of your files. And maintaining a Raspberry Pi at home isn't what I would call smooth.

It's also endless tweaking and managing of conflicts.

Also it might work out for people on the free Dropbox plan, however I've got over 350 GB of files in Dropbox and growing. Dropbox makes this easy especially with their Smart Sync.

With Syncthing you'd either keep them on only one computer and risk losing those files, or you'd synchronize that 300 GB on each computer you have.
Then they will lose all the advantages of the green house if they get cold air from outside...

Interesting. I think 15 steps sign-up is just way too much, however there's a way to "cheat". Just "sign" the user up after Step 1, give them basic services and have them fill out more information on-demand as they try to use various features.
Awesome, I've been looking forwards to this!
> Science would have to decide whether to devote equal attention to every failed reproduction.

Not to every failed reproduction. Only to failures to reproduce results that Science had previously published. And if that means they end up publishing a lot of failures to reproduce, then perhaps they need to re-think their criteria for publishing the original results. After all, why do you think this "reproducibility crisis" exists in the first place?
I would say that SWIFT international financial messaging platform most likely beats it, in terms of lucrativeness, and - amusingly - it is also in the same industrial sector.

The difference is that TW, KR and SG were/are right wing authocracies and the first two evolved more or less peacefully into functional democracies. Japan too. All of these countries except maybe SG had/have the US as their allies and I'm quite sure it was the US that slowly pushed them in this direction. Japan is the prime example of this as it was occupied by the US. Just look at pre 1945 Japan - it was an aggressive militarist authocracy that occupied neighbouring states, with an ambition to conquer the world¹.

I applaud moving away from UEFI, to something simpler and more transparent, and something not hostile from the start to open source.

I like how relatively simple my Coreboot systems are. The sooner that Coreboot can minimally initialize hardware and invoke an open source bootloader or Linux kernel payload directly, the better. (Bonus, if the kernel doesn't need legacy PC BIOS services.)

Regarding concerns raised in the article, I'd be more suspicious of closed microcode and firmware blob parts, than of open source parts. Many knowledgeable eyes on the open parts can help. Though, of course, open parts could, in theory, be crafted to provide affordances for naughtiness involving closed parts. I have mixed feelings about recent initiatives to push closed updates more widely and reliably, and look forward to more-open hardware.
I got curious and found the post you were referring to (https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2004/10/the_legacy_of...). They tweaked the algorithm, and that tweak turned out to make it more secure; they also cut the key size by more than half, making sure they could brute force it. That doesn't exactly scream benevolence.
This does sound like a dilemma. I think the rules should be different for the web since the web is arguably more powerful than paper mail. As soon as you tell an internet form something, just assume you've mailed your response for that particular thing, even if the whole form isn't done yet.

I think the whole "if something can happen, it will happen" rule works nicely here. You can write on paper all you want, but the recipient will never be able to know what you wrote unless you explicitly mail them or send them a copy of the paper. On the other hand, for the web, it is very possible for the client to send the server information at any time.
"It is really much more like WeChat payments or Alipay or whatever than anything else. The cryptocurrency part is largely a smokescreen and marketing."

Exactly. Why FB added this hocus-pocus isn't clear at all it isn't needed (WeChat does fine without it). A WeChat payment system that would permit individual FB account holders to send "F-Bucks" to each other at low cost would vastly disrupt the remittance payments system.

> If they start publicy recommending coreboot for what they deem senstive installations then their intentions are obviously not malicious.

How can you know that? If they actually did install a backdoor into coreboot, they'd obviously just patch it out of their own installations.

I used to scoff at various art forms (paintings, music, dance, etc). I too am at your place. Extremely involved in a multitude of activities in youth, cold pressed into an engineering job at a big company.

> I feel like my intelligence has been reduced to the next lowest standard deviation

I used to have this same feeling. Especially after watching my junior engineers work through stuff, both in office and online. A lot of self doubt crept up into me regarding my capabilities.

Then I started getting into stuff like arts, politics, physics, etc. I have a natural love of paintings. Reading books about paintings, learning their history, etc. to keep me occupied has helped me a lot. I can't pin point exactly, but I felt more confident. I expanded my leisure by completely stopping any TV or videos (I avoided buying a new TV when moving away from my parents house) and just reading and listening a lot about a wide variety of topics. Engineering, Astro Physics, Painting, Culture, Politics (But not sports, I hate sports). I do it just for 30 - 45 minutes a day.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel more confident. I am not even sure if that's the reason for the confidence.

Jio is part of reliance, a conglomerate in the “more money than god” category.

The walls of a normal modern insulated house are already completely air tight, first layer behind the walls seen from the inside is a plastic sheet to prevent humidity from indoor human activities to get into the insulation. After building a new house they literally try to inflate it like a balloon and measure the pressure to ensure there is no leakage.

Controlling humidity and air freshness is done through vents, usually combined with a heat exchange to not let out all the warm air you just heated up.

Condensation accumulating larger drops might be a bigger issue with glass though, but only if it's already humid on the inside.

I find this odd.

It almost seems a bit like patenting a Ponzi scheme.

While one can make the argument that surveillance via delivery has positive uses; this seems like it's getting close to stalker/PI territory, one which is downright illegal, the other tends to have at least some level of regulation/licensing around it. Also, any data collection capability by the drone swarms is going to be streaming all the time most likely, so I'd have significant concerns w.r.t. data storage/destruction.

Also, what level of due diligence is Amazon going to actually do to ensure someone requesting the service is actually a resident authorized to give permission for data collection at that location anyway? I can see this type of thing getting abused to case entire locale's under the right circumstances.

Frankly, big tech sentiment going the way it is, I sure hope these things stick to the streets; I can see the more trespassing conscious getting a bit more aggressive about unexpected drones over their property.

Very good! I find it aggravating that the word "significant" is thrown around casually to refer to outcomes that are "statistically significant" yet "extremely small".

We would encounter this a lot in performance engineering - sometimes you could isolate that a new optimization was statistically significantly better, yet only worth 0.1% in terms of performance improvement (possibly in exchange for a whole bunch of new code).
I mean, being primarily contributed by the NSA is a great reason to not use SELinux, especially if you're outside of the US. AppArmor exists and does a lot of the same job, so why not use the safer option?

It is actually easy to ruin a home by trapping moisture using modern materials carelessly. It happened to many centuries old buildings in the twentieth century after being renovated and modernized to save on heating. Traditional techniques allowed more circulation of air that avoided mold.
Many smaller propellers can replace a few bigger ones. They'll make noise but not nearly as much as huge twin props. Another thing is that electrical propellers only make noise when you need them to produce thrust. Most traditional props produce noise just sitting on the ramp waiting for their oil temperatures to rise or while slowly taxiing to the runway. Another difference is that the high pitched whine of an electrical engine is very different from rumbling of a jet or piston engine. As I'm writing this, I hear a jet plane taking off from an airport 6 miles away from my house. I doubt I'd be able to hear an electrical plane from that distance.

They basically ask users to verify information about the places they are checking into. This is how they learn about new places and meta data such as categories, price ranges, etc. Google does a similar thing where they ask their users to confirm information about places they've been to.
For this sort of thing, I really enjoyed Scott Alexander's review of The Secret Of Our Success (https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/06/04/book-review-the-secret...), which contains lots of examples of how culture came to solve problems. Manioc is the big example from that article: when manioc was taken over to Africa as a cheap food, the corresponding culture was not taken with it, with the result that millions of Africans started showing the symptoms of cyanide poisoning twenty years later.
If there's a concern about that, then maybe some other governments should be paying people to be intimately involved with projects like Coreboot, Linux, GNU, open hardware, etc. -- such that those people are spending enough time that they can understand and keep an eye on things, as well as furthering the projects with their more conventional contributions.

(I know Coreboot has had at least a few people who seem to be activists or enthusiasts who are not potentially beholden to anyone, but people getting paid can afford to spend much more time on projects than volunteers can.)
Oh, cool. I really enjoy coreboot in principle, but I wish more systems supported it. None of my daily drivers are running Coreboot, as of today. I’m pretty inept when it comes to low level stuff, but I’ve been playing around trying to port Coreboot to an unsupported laptop board. It’s probably futile, but it was pretty exciting seeing some serial output for the first time.

From lurking around, one of the more surprising things I’ve found is that DDR RAM initialization seems to be the single most difficult aspect of the whole boot process, or at least on typical PC platforms. Not to say everything else isn’t also difficult; the debugging tools available to the general public for firmware are fairy rudimentary.

Well just as an example, around here concrete cellars were usually not insulated before. They were storage areas.

In the 80s people started insulating them in the wrong way (on the inside), creating a condensation point between the insulation and concrete => mold.

These days we have learned that cellars must be insulated on the outside (by digging up the garden) or somehow make sure humid indoor air dont make contact with concrete behind insulation.

If you basically don't have plastic and insulation then mold is less of a problem, but you also need to spend a ton of energy keeping the house warm...

I could be wrong but I think mould appears when humidity condenses to water drops. So you need both humidity and a temperature contrast (e.g., hot inside air meets a cold wall).

So as long as the inside and outside of the house has the same temperature, condensation in random spots should not happen?..

Condensation will be on the glass panels, where mould cannot grow.
