I actually thought the steel skin would be covered with in insulator layer, such as paper, fiberglass composite, or plastic sheeting, and the gold bonded to that. Punctures and crushed panels would then be detected by changes in capacitance. And now I'm imagining arcs from improperly grounded inner hulls, so maybe that's not the greatest idea for gold.

But if gold resists the barnacle adhesive even a little bit, that's already a major win.
> No one who wants encrypted comms (who I know) wants to use it for chatting, we want to use it for control mechanisms.

As VLM keeps saying time and again in this thread, there are other bands for that.

And even if you really, really wanted to run control mechanisms over HAM bands and didn't want anyone to inject telemetry and control signals, you don't need encryption of all traffic for that. Only authentication. Exchange keys and then just send signed but cleartext messages.

Why would you want to encrypt the control traffic so that no other HAM could listen to it and learn from it? Quit being anti-hacker.
"One could argue that every single component on a device could be replaced to bring it back from the dead, but I would argue it isn't the same device at that point."

This is entering the realms of philosophy. If you get your screen replaced is it any longer your phone? If someone replaced every part of your phone one piece at a time, at teh pace of one piece a week did they suddenly steal it the moment the last piece was switched out? After all, they have "your" phone - if the concept of "your" phone ever made any sense in the first place.

Hi Dima - I'm assuming you're aware of dnscrypt-proxy and wrote nss-tls because you wanted a lighter weight implementation of a subset of dnscrypt-proxy's features on a specific platform (linux/glibc, for example this won't work on linux/musl afaik)? I use dnscrypt-proxy happily but was interested in nss-tls, yet couldn't find a rationale/comparison in the readme.

Consumers and the press were much more forgiving of the iPhone's shortcomings than they were with anybody else. The 2007 iPhone was 2G only (when 3G on Nokia, Samsung, and Blackberry phones was standard), and it constantly dropped calls on AT&T in the US. Steve Jobs was in full reality distortion mode thanks to several successful iPod/Mac releases, and people loved the showmanship. Loyalty to Apple wasn't purely about the quality of the product.

The Blackberry Storm was released in 2008 to compete with the iPhone and was completely trashed by critics, despite doing the basics extremely well (call reliability, high quality capacitive touchscreen). I had one at the time and apart from the fact that BBOS 6 wasn't 100% touch-optimized, it was very usable.
Unfortunately its app store was lacking, whereas the iOS app store had plenty of flashy, gimmicky apps that better served as a showcase for the iPhone's capabilities (gyroscope, motion sensor, etc) rather than useful functionality.
You're free to do all of the above, but it's uncivil to want to forbid any and all possible contributions from someone in all domains because they said some hurtful things.

Not too sure about the difference. The water level would just drop, and the water simply flow away from the shallow coastal areas. I don't know what would salinity the water would have reached after dropping 200 meters but it's not the one you get if you simply let a volume of water to evaporate completely, which would be 100%.
>> I prefer not to focus on the things you would like us all to focus on.

You mean, like what the people who live in the Mediterrannean actually think of this plan?

But, there is no realistic prospect to initiate this project unless those very people agree to it. So what is the point of discussing cost-benefit analyses, if that agreement is almost guaranteed to not be forthcoming?

I mean, it's not even a rights issue. If the people who live in the Mediterrannean don't want it terraformed, then it's not getting terraformed. Realistically speaking.
I don't know, what would they do with a kg of gold in space? I think the only raw materials that would be worth anything in space today is like water, rocket fuel, oxygen, hydrogen etc. We generally only send finished goods into space, like satellites. Raw metals would only be valuable to keep in space if you had some manufacturing capability there. Also I think we are really really far away from doing something like manufacturing a satellite in space. So in general, I don't think that "2 kg of anything" in space is worth 1kg of gold on earth.
RF creates an electrical field across your body, which then causes a current inside you which makes heat. At 50/60Hz the wavelength is planet-sized, so that effect is nil.

Your body also has a little bit of effective grounding just by existing inside a room, but that's modeled as "a 100pF capacitor in series with a 1.5kΩ resistor". Charging a 100pF capacitor to 120 volts 120 times a second comes out to 0.2 milliamps, which is not going to burn anything. 0.6 milliamps on a 240 volt 50Hz supply. And that's only if your current source is badly isolated. The better it's kept away from the local ground, the less flow you'll see.
Sadly it still happens: https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/14/us/florida-children-die-chest... In that case the adults had added a latch, which IME is not uncommon where (e.g. poor or rural areas) people keep freezers outside, such as on porches.

I feel like maybe for hazards like this not only should there be warnings affixed, but testimonials from the parents of victims. Some people are just incapable of appreciating these hazards without being [emotionally] brow beat.

Another HN commenter on another thread last week made the point that for some people empathy (and its effect, like understanding that what can happen to someone else can happen to them) doesn't come easy--they often need someone to make it personal. While not quite the same as an in-person conversation, perhaps written, photographic testimonials would impress themselves upon some of those people. Alternatively, maybe pictorial warnings would help to warn children capable of appreciating the risk if brought to their attention.

Right! The easiest and most productive use of space metals is, in space. To build habitats, more mining equipment etc. It costs so much to lift metals into orbit, once they are there its dumb to drop them down to Earth again. At least not until all the space purposes have been satisfied.

Jordan Peterson has talked about getting something started in the context of "negotiating with yourself" to get past anticipatory anxiety. In short you have a conversation with yourself and agree on some minimal step forward, even if it is seemingly trivial.

Basically it goes something like "Do I agree to update my resume tomorrow?", "No.", "Am I willing to open up my past resume, and just add the companies, positions, and dates?", "Okay, I can do that".

So you realistically go back and forth with yourself until you find some step, even if it seems pathetic, that won't cause much anticipatory anxiety. Then sincerely feel good about getting that step done, because it is infinitely better than do nothing.

I have found that to be a useful mental tool/trick - will edit if I can find the reference because he conveys the concept much better.

Would cryptographic signing be allowed... the CnC message is unencrypted, and you add a signed signature against the message that is against a public/private key pair. The data isn't encrypted, but the signature still proves that you're authorized.

I think it's at least an open question whether humans are fancy clockwork or not. (Unless all you're doing is denying Cartesian dualism, in which case, I agree but so does everyone)

We don't really understand how the brain works, but it does seem that neuronal integration is an analog and probabilistic process, quite different from deterministic responses in computers (or clockwork). Some people have even speculated about quantum mechanical effects, though those hypotheses are very controversial and I don't put much stock in them personally.

It's overly reductive to compare the brain to a computer, and the analogy tends to obscure more than it illuminates.

ISM bands are available to use with whatever encryption scheme you wish to employ.

And as others have mentioned elsewhere: control mechanisms just need authentication, not encryption. Plenty of ways to skin that cat.
Getting large-scale mining operations in space, or any kind of industrial base for that matter, would require us to start fabricating things in space.

Getting something in orbit will always be expensive and prohibitive, even when space elevators are built, so there will be enough incentive to start building things in space.

Sure that’s relatively true but it makes no sense for 90% of new housing to be built for those 10% of individuals (and I think it’s less than 10%). What makes more sense is that direct foreign investment has spiralled prices up because it allows the 10% richest of any country to buy london property (whether they live there or not). I mean I’ve seen ads for London property in Honk Kong and I’ve heard reports of a Russian buying up entire towers in the Battersea development (from a contractor there). I think the idea that current housing is completely unaffordable to the median wage (around 30k) to be incomprehensible unless you account for huge amounts of foreign investment. Sure there’s lot of wealth in London there’s always been. From memory the multiplier between wage-to-house-price went up like 10x in the last couple of decades (let’s say something like from 9x annual salary to 90x) I don’t understand how that could happen without foreign money. People can’t build unaffordable housing to the local population unless they are not catering to the local population.
Good prose often involves misdirection. Making the reader believe something to be one way, while it was something else all along. Then, in a built up climax, undo the knot in a single pull to blow the reader's mind. That, to me, is the antithesis of the article's argument.
The difficulty of giving examples to illustrate what "clarity" means really shows in this article.

For the most part I evaluate software clarity by how many times I had to hit "goto definition" to see what was actually happening. But this takes us away from what the author was attempting to say. In my opinion, 95% of clarity comes down to writing good abstractions, and it is next to impossible to articulate what a good abstraction is.

It's like describing the taste of salt.

Isn't E2E search mostly a client-side matter? Unless using homomorphic encryption, of course, which I don't think OLM is capable of?

Or are you planning on using another trick, similar to hashing the strings client-side when a new message is received, then sending the hashs and later searching those server-side?

I'm curious since I haven't seen that mentioned other than using pantalaimon as some kind of server-side search engine. I can ask or discuss this further in matrix(-spec):matrix.org as needed/preferred.

The concept of clarity is why I don’t like the consequence of SOLID, where you have lots of tiny classes.

It’s easier to understand complex functions and a simple class structure than the other way around. Because jumping between multiple files/classes incurs a high understandability cost, whereas complex functions fit on your screen typically.

IMHO, the equivalence you propose is definitely not spelled out in the semantics of English so you really need to be reading a lot of sarcasm into the sentence to make that leap.
I review a LOT of code, and honestly, I didn't find this article helpful. It's common sense on how to behave in a civil manner, but it doesn't really help with having effective code reviews.

Code reviews accomplish a few things:

- They are primarily a discussion about code changes. ("Why did you do this?"

- They help onboard new members of the team, both in terms of how to work most effectively with the code, and with style. (No style guide is 100% exhaustive, "We normally name variables for that fooBar, not barFoo.")

- They help team members learn from each other. ("That's a cool new function in the new version of XYZ library!")

- They help enforce good engineering practice. ("I'm not merging that until you write tests.")

- They help make code more readable. ("Please add a comment here, and rename that method to DoSomething.")

- They also quickly identify people who shouldn't be part of the team. Everyone sees that someone moves slowly in a pull request, or that someone resists cleaning up sloppy code.

The thing with people who resist cleaning up their sloppy code is that it shows to management. This happens when everyone else in the team gets their pull requests merged quickly, and one person's pull requests pile up with lots of minor comments.
This is a complex computation to come up with.

Ideally we could set up a mining operation that didn't require additional fuel from earth. That would be costly in CO2 if we used that as a measure.

However, after being set up all that would be required for getting gold to earth from space would be de-orbiting the gold. I'm assuming that recovering a de-orbited chunk of gold would probably be cheaper than mining and transporting that gold on the surface of earth.

While you are spot on to question the air pollution to get set up mining gold in space, it would require a really detailed analysis to figure out if it would be a net positive or negative for CO2 emissions.

It would also need to be considered what happens when humans can start re-fueling spacecraft in space. What would that do to the shipping industry where materials are prevalent in space and can be moved to earth with minimal CO2 from earth.
While the asteroid will of course never be worth the quintillions it's worth on paper, there's no doubt it will be worth something. Otherwise, why are people still spending money to dig up gold out of the earth?

But gold isn't that interesting. The only reason it's valued the way it is, is because everybody has agreed it's valuable. But there are many other rare metals and minerals we can mine from asteroids that would be immensely useful. In smartphones and other electronics, for example.

At the moment, rare earth elements are often mined in terrible destructive ways, sometimes under atrocious circumstances. Fairphone is the one phone company that's trying to do something about it, but on their own, they're not going to have a lot of impact. Off-world mining would allow us to leave our Earth intact while still enjoying the smartphones and other electronics that these materials enable.
My rule of thumb has always been "the amount of comments I leave is directly proportional to how clever my code is".

Code that is trivial really needs no elaboration, but occasionally I feel like I gotta go crazy with a bunch of hashmaps of lambdas and all that jazz, and I don't think that there's inherently anything wrong with that.

However, when I do that, I make sure I document it like crazy with comments, so that when I have to look at the code two weeks later, I at least can figure out what I was doing.
I was always taught “volts jolt; mills kill”. i.e. high voltage will knock you across the room but a few milliamps of current across the heart will easily kill you.

The issue is that in Go speak, "clever" means any programming language technique that was invented after the 1970's. We are fortunate that the creators of Go felt comfortable with structured programming, or otherwise they might have felt that function calls with their compiler maintained stacks and local variables were "clever" and that we should all use goto statements since those are much clearer as to what is actually happening.
