Very cool project! As a python developer, I completely share the concerns mentioned in this article.
From my point of view, building a new project from scratch requires a certain "marketing approach". The idea of having "The PyOxidizer's functionality rolling up into official packaging tools like pip" seems to be key to massive adoption.

I think it's more that the original source is preferred, out of respect to the producer of that content, rather than a "reblog" that doesn't add much substantive new info. BoingBoing is great, and plays an important role, but that role seems mostly to surface stories from elsewhere, highlight the key points and add its own editorial take, rather than generating original content.
My parents bought me a 386SX 20MHz, 40 MB HDD, 2MB RAM just with floppies in 1991.

It was around 1500 euros, when converting directly the price into today's money, without taking currency evolution into account. Back then working as cashier would get you around 300 euro per month, before taxes.

We were really lucky.

No, it's a credit to Bitcoin Core that they understand the tradeoffs involved in increasing transaction rate via blocksize increase. Continuously growing resource usage is a centralizing force and thus an existential risk to Bitcoin. Core is rightly unwilling to trade a little short-term pain relief for increased long term risk of catastrophic failure. The difficulty is that just how much of a centralizing force is difficult to measure, so there's a lot of uncertainty around it, opening the door for the more reckless to complain about transaction prices.

I noticed my boy was happy getting into cold water as a toddler (compared to adults who suffer during the transition from air to cold water).

Now he's four years old, and a few weeks ago we swam together in a cold lake. He was happy to get in, but after ten minutes I noticed that his teeth were chattering and his lips were blue, while I was quite comfortable.
That is an entirely different issue. GDPR is effectively an update of DPA 1998 that it replaces. Most is the same, definitions and scope are widened and modernised. A company that had implemented DPA(1998) was most of the way there for GDPR(2016). If you're going to get pedantic, DPA 1998 is one of the many implementations of EU's DPD 1995 as there is a fundamental difference between EU Regulation and EU Directive.

Clearly I am not calling GDPR (2016) a minor update of a subsequent law UK DPA (2018). That is UK's implementation of GDPR, which thanks to the stupidity that is Brexit may indeed have some issues interrelating with the EU. Probably the least of our issues, but still...

UK ICO's stance is fairly well known, but I don't think they can be held responsible for businesses that liquidate in the face of fine. That seems more likely to be an issue of UK company law.
Clarifying this situation is simple. European nations continue to benefit from the hegemony of the US via NATO but insist on sneering at America nonetheless. I would like to make Ms. Merkel happy and allow European nations to cede from NATO. If we're so dirty and uncooth, please provide for your own defense Ms. Merkel! If Europe is the new superstate she and Macron insist it is, I see no reason why they can't form an army (and pay for it).

In American eyes, Europe will revert to its previous capability of being a very low-tech continent-sized early warning system for Russian aggression. The Russian occupation of Ukraine hasn't impacted Americans one iota and at this point they might as well occupy Berlin too. Maybe it will help clarify "who your friends are" for average Germans.
I was born and raised in a country that was behind the Iron Curtain so please don't lecture me on the history. Russia has a lot to answer for even if we disregard communism entirely.

Russia culturally and historically IS part of Europe, but that's where the similarities end. They're not part of European society and are most definitely an enemy to it.
Good stuff! I'll definitely look for more from you!

While that's true, I do get at least a little suspicious if the repository only contains binaries on a site which is designed to host source. Same if it's a little-known repository. Besides, what is some one going to do, encourage me to "download the update to adobe reader" on github? Source hosting sites would certainly be valuable in a highly-targeted attack, but it is often the case that such actors will simply find another way.

I think it is viable because there is a lot of demand for parts. There are a lot of cars around and they all will need fixing at some point in their life. This large demand ensures it will be filled well.

The EU isn't a small country, it is already a pan-national union.
Those Iranian sanctions aren't for show. I don't think the Iranians share your perspective at all. They're brutally crushing the Iranian economy at the moment and causing the regime to lash out aggressively. The Russian sanctions are more reasonably in the for show category by comparison.

Their oil output has collapsed by 50%, from roughly 4m barrels per day. Their currency has lost 2/3 of its value versus the dollar and is near record lows. Inflation has skyrocketed, around 30% in 2018 and perhaps 40% in 2019. It's hammering living standards:

"In the past 12 months, the cost of red meat and poultry has increased by 57%, milk, cheese and eggs by 37%, and vegetables by 47%, according to the Statistical Centre of Iran."

2019-04-29: "Iran’s economy is expected to shrink for the second consecutive year and inflation could reach 40 percent, an International Monetary Fund senior official said, as the country copes with the impact of tighter sanctions imposed by the United States."

What's your metric to say that ? After all, it's a system language, not a web one or scripting one, so it's not likely to go to the top trending stats very fast. Not to mention we had a stable version for only 4 years.

It would be nice if operating systems would be exactly that, but for some reason "commercial" OS vendors are not able or willing to provide a safe "native" sandbox completely uncoupled from curated app stores.

Apple is going down this route with code signing and granular permissions with Macintosh applications that don’t have to be part of the Mac App Store and there is still whining from geeks that this is leading to a walled garden, even though there are approved ways to work around it.

It's the same with Electron apps by the way, those wouldn't exist if operating systems would come with cross-platform UI frameworks that are actually better than the unholy mix of HTML+CSS+JS. But Microsoft, Apple etc... had decades to get their act together without delivering.

One of the problems with Electron is that it’s the same interface everywhere. I don’t want the same interface on a Mac that I have on Windows.

Yes, that is why I went back to 1980 for the pre-phone model. In 1996 phones were expensive and unusual. Many people wanted one, but only the rich could afford to use them much (a typical plan was 30 minutes of voice a month and high per-minute rates after that).

> By and large, people don't seem to be willing to pay for content on the web. Hence, advertising became the dominant business model for content on the web.

I don't think the causality is right here. People might not be willing to pay for content on the web because advertising enables competitors to offer content for free. If you removed that option, if people had no choice but to pay, it might just turn out that people would pay.

That's interesting. This should bring us to the realization that we should think of this as an engineering problem, rather than having an expectation of humans being "bug-free".
Search is the problem. If you don’t rank in google you don’t exist on the internet. There is an entire economy built on manipulating search that is pay to play in addition to google continually focusing on paid search of natural SERPs. Controlling search right now is controlling the internet.
Sadly, yes. Just a couple of days ago I saw some explicit advice to take credit for things even if you're not sure you contributed enough to deserve it. This was in the context of reviews rather than hiring, but I think it's about equally common. I consider it a form of exaggeration and I'm uncomfortable with it. On the other hand, there's a difference between taking primary credit and taking credit for contribution. Sometimes it's not a zero-sum game, and taking credit for contributing in no way harms the person who gets and deserves primary credit. In those cases it can still be deceptive, but how much that matters depends a lot on how much exaggeration the interviewer expects and adjusts for.
Any business problems that can be shown, objectively, to be better solved by one paradigm versus another can also be isolated into its own code base/module where said paradigm is canonical and ubiquitous.

The problem is, this rarely happens and with a language like Perl and Java you end up with a mish mosh of hard to reason about code bases because the authors at the time were just trying to muddle through as best they could with whatever approach resonated with them.
The idea, generally speaking, is escalating fines. If a fine of this level doesn't stop you, you will get a substantially larger fine for the next or on-going infringement.

>, where all the smarts [...] reside on your device, not in the cloud, is the most promising. [...] An on-device search agent could potentially be the best solution [...]

Maybe I misunderstand your proposal but to me, this is not technically possible. We can think of a modern search engine as a process that reduces a raw dataset of exabytes[0] into a comprehensible result of ~5000 bytes (i.e. ~5k being the 1st page of search result rendered as HTML.)

Yes, one can take a version of the movies & tv data on IMDB.com and put it on the phone (e.g. like copying the old Microsoft Cinemania CDs to the smartphone storage and having a locally installed app search it) but that's not possible for a generalized dataset representing the gigantic internet.

If you don't intend for the exabytes of the search index to be stored on your smartphone, what exactly is the "on-device search agent" doing? How is it iterating through the vast dataset over a slow cellular connection?

Any "social" ranking algorithm is going to sound at least superficially similar to what's already out there.
Part of this is just the plethora of content. There's too much content, too much to savor and focus on. There's always something new, but there's too much to retain. If you were starved for content, you'd pay for it more often, and you'd enjoy it more often.
There are theoretical limits imposed by Dawes' limit. For example lets say you want to read a license plate, which you could do with some fuzzy ability at 1cm. The Amazon Kuiper satellites orbit at 367km which means they would need a 20m mirror to resolve this much. Needless to say these would be enormous and probably physically impossible at that height.

There's evidence strongly suggesting that - for example - Juniper Network's use of the NSA's backdoorable Dual EC random number generator in their VPN hardware is an intentional US backdoor. Not only is Dual EC slower, more complex, less random, and worse in every possible way except for the fact that it allows for a backdoor that can only be accessed by the person who has the matching private key to its public key, they also introduced a bunch of other changes at the same time across several levels of their software stack to make this exploitable in practice: https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/376.pdf

On top of that, when an attacker broke into Juniper's systems and replaced that public key with their own, they simply changed it back without fixing the "bug" introduced at the same time as Dual EC which meant the countermeasures that they'd claimed prevented this attack never actually ran. (They moved the index variable of their existing PRNG function, which was meant to post-process the Dual EC output, from a local to a global, overwrote it in the Dual EC code so the other PRNG never ran, used the same output buffer for both, and added a hidden on-by-default setting which ran the Dual EC code on every PRNG call. The whole thing stunk.)

I don't think anyone has found anything even remotely comparable to this smoking gun in Huawei's hardware and software.

The reason I mentioned that the trust metric should be transitive and distributed is so that it prevents gaming as much as possible. You wouldn't want to have a trusted central authority (for everyone) because that could always be corrupted or gamed if it's profitable enough. Rather every individual would have a set of trusted peers with different "trust" weights for each based on the individual's perception of their trustworthiness, that could be changed over time.

This trust (weighting) should be able to propagate as a (semi-)transitive property throughout the network to take advantage of your trusted peers' trusted peers. This trust weight propagation would need to converge, and when you are served content that has been labeled incorrectly ("high-value" or "trustworthy" or whatever metric, when you don't see it that way), then your trust weights (and perhaps your peers') would need to re-update in some sort of backpropagation.

The hard part is keeping track of the trust-network in a way that is O(n^c) and having the transitive calculations also be O(n^c) at most. I'm quite sure there are ways of doing this (at least with reasonably good results) but I haven't been able to think through them.

>Is the authoritarianism and coercion a necessary part of church

Speaking about religion in genera:

Authoritarianism, no. I don't see how that's related. You can have a cohesive group without being a dick to everyone who doesn't conform to the exact letter of every little thing.

Coercion is required on some level but unless you really don't conform to any of the social norms of the group you should be fine. A religion can always structure itself to have a bare minimum amount of conformity and accept anyone above that. Being able to conform to group social norms or at leas minimize when you can't is part of being human.
