Nut milk can be made at home, so can peanut butter.

This is highly processed fake food thats designed to trick you into thinking it "feels" like meat. A process that is not designed to make it actually healthier for you in all the processing.

This is the English language so yes there is nuance in how we use it.

It's important to me that we not start to label industrial food pastes as X when they are still just industrial food pastes.

What's the "veggie" in "veggie burger"? It's not ground chickpeas anymore, don't conflate the two very different things.

Whether I agree with you or not here's the difference. Stricter enforcement of who gets a firearm is not the same thing as putting a vulnerability into every firearm that allows police officers to cause the weapon to backfire into the legally purchased firearm owner's face. Breaking crypto literally makes it dangerous to the people who use it. I'd be opposed to remote police controls on firearms that caused them to fail as well. It's an unnecessary danger that circumvents the purpose of the device.

Fine. Here's my contribution to the conversation: Mr Barr, your entreaties in this regard are based on the presumption that the government can be trusted. But our nation was founded on a mistrust of government, and your own actions demonstrate that the government cannot be trusted. Your own special counsel has issued a report that implicates the president in a felony (obstruction of justice) but you have failed to follow up in any way except to imply that there is "nothing to see here, move along." The fourth amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees that the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and the ninth amendment to the Constitution guarantees that the people retain un-enumerated rights. I, as a citizen of the United States, maintain that one of those unenumerated rights is my right to employ technological defenses against government overreach. Those are rights guaranteed to me by the Constitution. The right of the government to catch those it deems to be "the bad guys" is not.
Why is it _better_ to do tricky message processing before we achieve confidence that the message is legitimate/ genuine?

Or is the argument that even though this is worse it's so useful we might really want to do it anyway?

when you are growing up like that, with this being your social responsibility, and everyone else does it, and you also love your parents, you'll feel it as totally normal.

you'll also get the full love of your parents. you are first, your sisters are second. your wife will be more important to your parents than your sisters are. the difference is noticeable. though you may not notice it as your sisters will be married and get the same treatment from their husbands family.

your parents will provide for you as long as they can, and then when they no longer can, it's your turn to provide for them, and for your children. but by then your parents will have done more for you than most western parents would have.

your parents don't have pensions they can live off. neither will you. so one day your children will take care of you...
Way late reply you'll probably never see, but I'm fairly sure it's possible with the U2F protocol and existing hardware. I simplified the algo so as not to obscure the big picture, but I have actually worked out all the details and identified hardware I think would work. (I seriously considered trying to build a business around the idea and worked through the feasibility in a lot of detail. In the end I decided it was completely feasible but a crapload of work and limited marketability.)

You've correctly identified most of the tricky bits: the real algo involves key agreement plus symmetric crypto, it's a tight fit size-wise, and not all hardware has the necessary capabilities. However I think you're wrong about the conclusion. Can't say for sure though, as I didn't produce a working prototype. If you actually see this and want to discuss it in more detail you can find my email in my profile.
> Shouldn't it be more efficient with mass production of meals?

It already is: McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, etc.

The difference being that in the examples given the means of production are also controlled by the business. With fast food, and
McDonald's as the example, they control their own supply chain[1]. It's the reason that everything tastes the same no matter which McDonald's you go to. Many fast food businesses emulate this process because it has been so successful for McDonald's.

With your example of a Soviet kolkhoz, the state owned the agriculture and determined the prices because they had control over the whole supply chain.[2]

I would also argue that this is what people are buying when they buy pre-packaged frozen meals. People seem to forget that home refrigeration wasn't a thing until it became really accessible starting in the 1930s. Then with the invention of the frozen dinner in 1950s changed how a large set of people looked at meals. You suddenly didn't have to cook and didn't have to pay someone else to cook you a meal on demand. For a price comparison, a frozen dinner in the 60s was around a dollar[3] or less [4]. Whereas a restaurant would have cost approximately an extra 100%, 200%, or more[5] "1964 A one-plate turkey dinner at Howard Johnson’s $1.49" (specifically the standard fare, not fine dining).

Despite how much I agree with you, this is never going to happen, because the real purpose of tips these days is to allow for variable pricing - the "base" price stays low, while people who can afford to tip more often do.

I've seen lots of restaurants implement "no tipping" policies, only to revert back to tipping within a year or two. The reasons:

1. The higher base prices do have a negative impact on sales.
2. The best servers usually want tips, because they can make more at a tipping establishment.

In the past 10/15 years I've changed my attitude around tipping now that pretty much every place I go to "flips around the iPad", asking for a tip. I no longer really think of it as a reward for good service. At the end of the day, I can't imagine trying to survive in a major city on barista wages, and I can afford it, so I tip.
>The usual explanation for tipping is that the minimum wage for tipped employees is lower than the non-tipped minimum wage (sometimes as low as $2.13).

People get the cause and effect backwards on that. The minimum wage is lower because lawmakers knew they were already getting compensated by tips. It's a social custom, not charity.
Slight generalisation: many of the emacs keybindings work with commands whose command interpreter is built using the gnu readline library (bash is one of those).

Also, iirc the readine library cod also be switched to vin-like keybinding.

Also, a nice surprise thst i found in macOS is that come keybindings like C-a and C-e work in textboxes in macOS.
Do you realize how condescending it is when someone comes to you with a problem and your answer is that "is not a discussion worth having"? Warrants losing their power in the digital age is a problem and our community's refusal to recognize that just pushes the government down alternative routes to something like PRISM.

Also focusing on enforcement is making the perfect the enemy of the good. What percentage of communication in this country flows through either Apple, Google, Facebook, or Amazon? A solution that works for those 4 companies would be a huge step even if it wouldn't result in 100% coverage.

And just to be clear, I don't think the answer is necessarily backdoors in encryption. But I recognize that there is a problem and that we should be open to talk about ways to fix that problem.
Why Outsourced Payroll Services Is Preferable for Business?

It is most likely over simplistic, although I guess it would be nice for an explanation of why the down-votes happen.

I like to believe that I didn't try to personally attack anyone just try to show that they've been sued for Libel dozens of times, with 97% of them thrown out/dismissed.

The above Wikipedia entry makes it sound like the libel case was a one time deal painting him guilty on all videos when in reality it was a one time story he got wrong.

Not saying this guy speaking about google is credible or true, just trying to point out that if you win 97% of your libel cases there is more truth to their investigations than what the initial wiki entry made it seem.

Self-pity? Nah I could care less whether this guy is right or wrong, just trying to point out that everyone is painting him in a negative way and maybe it wouldn't hurt to look at the other side.
This is another clear demonstration that traditional government has become obsolete in the technological era. This is one reason that decentralized solutions such as distributed autonomous organizations are so interesting.
There are restaurants that just tack on a 20% surcharge, do staff get paid less at those establishments?
A specific claim of the AG, and one that I've seen relatively smart people assert before, is that software update systems could be adapted to insert these backdoors into individual phones, securely and reliably, upon receipt of a valid warrant.

Software update systems have been successfully exploited to deliver malware:

> On a normal day, these servers push out routine updates—bug fixes, security patches, new features—to a piece of accounting software called M.E.Doc, which is more or less Ukraine’s equivalent of TurboTax or Quicken. It’s used by nearly anyone who files taxes or does business in the country. But for a moment in 2017, those machines served as ground zero for the most devastating cyberattack since the invention of the internet—an attack that began, at least, as an assault on one nation by another.

https://www.wired.com/story/notpetya-cyberattack-ukraine-rus...

Presumably the software update systems for major operating systems, like for Android or iOS, are typically more heavily secured than M.E.Doc.

But they are also targets of limited value. To insert malware into iOS, you would need not only access to their software update system, you would need access to (and understanding of) their source code and build system, and access to their code signing key.

And even then, it's not clear that these software update systems are even capable of targeting patches down to the level of the phone of an individual person. There's no reason for it now. The central system really just needs to make the update available in its various OS flavors, and each client can request what it needs.

If we force these OS companies to create a targeted backdoor system, all the hard work will be done for the bad guys. They need only achieve access to the special "law enforcement access" system, they will have everything they need all ready to go.

Under these conditions, could Google or Apple keep out the bad guys with 100% success? I have great respect for these teams, but those are very long odds.

It's far safer, for them and for us, to just not build that functionality. This was the point that Apple so forcefully made when Jim Comey came after them to decrypt the San Bernadino iPhone.

EDIT to add: these companies operate in more than just the U.S. If they build a targeted backdoor system, you don't think other countries will demand access to that system as well? Look: Apple already compromised on iCloud hosting to maintain access to the Chinese market.
Why even use sign language, when you could just do real-time speech to text, and just read what is being said? Is that actually less efficient than signing?

Edit: So rather than being entirely uneducated on this topic, I'm googling it. There seems to be some disagreement between which is better, and it also appears to be a somewhat sensitive topic (according to non-deaf people who are writing articles about deaf people on the internet. So take that for what its worth)
What about Almond Milk?

First I'd say its in long use and common understanding.

Second you can make both of them at home.

Third I'm really broadly objecting to highly processed food pastes being labeled as "burger" or X. I also object to Taco Bell being able to call their products even "meat" to be quite honest, I think we should change that.
I have a colleague who's a brilliant developer, but trying to wade through his codebase is literally like going through a session of Chinese water torture. And the 'comments' in his code are more mind-boggling than explanatory.
I run a game server hosting business that does ~$600k in ARR, and I love focusing on the software side of it. I have a simple payroll with 2 recipients, and I love how Gusto is something I never have to think about. I enabled automatic payroll and muted their automatic emails, so the whole thing just runs every 2 weeks without me having to remember that it's happening.

I wish someone would do my regular tax filings in the same way that Gusto does the payroll tax filings: quietly and correctly, without making a huge show of it. Bench.co falls far short of that, for reasons I explained in an adjacent post here. They still make me go and manually classify the same transactions every month for some weird reason, and I have to double-check everything since I've seen them make plenty of simple mistakes. And they don't handle the tax filings themselves, either, which means more brain cycles on my part.
eBPF is specifically not Turing-complete because you can not prove any property of Turing-complete language code.
You say that as if it already happening makes it okay. Libra is getting hounded because the flaws are visible, frankly because people are suspicious of Facebook now. But the credit agencies doing similar things that we consider unethical, but operating in the background and hidden, doesn't make it right. I remember my mother telling me as a child "just because someone else does something doesn't mean you should." I'm pretty sure many mothers told many children that, but it seems many forgot.

What is happening to Facebook can be good for everyone. Because if the FTC cracks down on them then it sets a precedent to crack down on the credit agencies. Clearly people will go after them if that happens.

Sure, this should never have been an issue, but just because someone else is currently doing something doesn't mean that it ever was the right thing to do. Even if legal. Let's stop this BS "but they do it" and change the conversation to "they're doing it to, let's make sure they also are stopped."
This sounds really helpful, can you provide any links to read more about setting these helpers up?
GPUs have been shown to be very good at complex math problems. A nation state with unlimited money could find a weakness built into crypto in a matter of days at most. A bored hacker would probably find it in a few hours.
Running C# on my favorite JVM
The rest of the world's solution is fewer, higher paid, and better trained waiters.

Restaurants in the US are run like a factory assembly line, with every person manning a portion of the line being incentivized to get the table out of the door as fast as possible in order to maximize the amount of scraps they get out of tips. In a fixed system, you might sometimes have to flag down a waiter rather than have your glass endlessly refilled even when you're done drinking, and folks might stop walking by asking (if you're lucky) to take your plates away before you're ready.

If you're a person who travels, count the amount of visible staff at an average German restaurant, and compare that to what you see in the US. It's drastic. Orders of magnitude drastic.
He hints to as much in the book itself...

https://www.wolframscience.com/nks/notes-0-1--citations-and-...

In developing the ideas described in this book I have looked at many thousands of books, papers and websites—and have interacted with hundreds of people (see page xiii). But rather than trying to give a huge list of specific references, I have instead included in these notes historical information tracing key contributions. From the names of concepts and people that I mention, it is straightforward to do web or database searches that give a vastly more complete picture of available references than could possibly fit in a book of manageable size—or than could be created correctly without immense scholarship. Note that while most current works of science tend to refer mainly just to very recent material, this book often refers to material that is centuries or even millennia old—in some ways more in the tradition of fields like philosophy.
Given SF's reputation for feces-free streets this does seem rather odd.
OK, I have a probably dumb question. In TFA, I see:

> Following a yearlong investigation by the FTC, the Department of Justice will file a complaint[0] on behalf of the Commission alleging that Facebook repeatedly used deceptive disclosures and settings to undermine users’ privacy preferences in violation of its 2012 FTC order. These tactics allowed the company to share users’ personal information with third-party apps that were downloaded by the user’s Facebook “friends.” The FTC alleges that many users were unaware that Facebook was sharing such information, and therefore did not take the steps needed to opt-out of sharing.

So does this settlement correspond to that complaint? I'm guessing that it must. But then, that means that the FTC negotiated the settlement with Facebook based on an unfiled complaint. That rather implies that Facebook had some influence over the complaint.

I guess that's not very different from plea bargaining in criminal cases, however.

Presumably the IMAP or Exchange server is only exposed to the LAN. (It's non-trivial to configure these properly to be exposed to the internet...)
More about use case than how to do it: client side certificate authentication is not a rocket science.

Unless you 100% need to use signing for the use case like a client side ACL, there is genuinely no need to overengineer your web app with your own authentication scheme.

But if your scale already mandates doing operations without server side ACL lookup for performance reasons, doing it over HTTP and web stack might already be inefficient by itself for the task.
Cool, but I would rather use a better supported static site generator with an ipynb plugin (ie, https://github.com/danielfrg/pelican-ipynb) than a tool just for notebooks.

Especially because this looks like an nbconvert workflow under the hood.
Not the user you replied to, but there's no harm (and in my judgement great benefit) from diving right into Kant, or more generally, German idealism - so Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel. Marx is also worth visiting for his "Hegelian" materialism (in this case opposed to idealism). That'll provide the basics to know what Foucault was talking about.

The Cambridge Companion to German Idealism (I forget which year) is also highly recommended though I haven't looked into that myself.
No, that's not the explanation for tipping.

Those reduced minimum wages are justified because the jobs include tipping.

The reason you tip your waiter is (ostensibly) because it creates a direct incentive for better service, by leaving some of the compensation up to the customer.

Let's not have a bunch of replies that ignore my caveat please.
What really struck me about this book is just how obvious almost everything in it seemed. I guess I found it pretty boring precisely because it's such good advice (since the best ideas usually sound obvious once you hear them).
Or maybe the fact that Feigenbaum was an avid user of Mathematica partly for the reason stated there is why it was included?
To the extent that "the what it's like to be conscious" is part of physics - that is, to the extent that it enters into causal relations with the rest of the universe, it can of course be described as such. However, the way by which such casual relations occur is itself of interest, since it opens up other means of description that are not dependent on the inherent limits of an "outside" observer, acting through known physical mechanisms to make her observations.
