You seem intent to couch your armchair predictions as ineluctable.

Sticking with the steam engine comparison it was 320 years ago that we had the first proper steam engine (arguably some variety existed ~2 millennia ago, but that'd just support my argument even more).

It took 70 years, though, before we had a decent one (Watt's). And that was before anyone had worked out how to bore accurate holes in cast iron -- so even that was version was a bit clunky.

In contrast it's less than a hundred that we've even just known about neutrons, and the complexity delta between boiling water and fusion reactors suggests that we (you) should not assume that if we haven't solved all the problems around them yet, then we never can or will.

Statements like this:

> Steam engines clearly produced power at a huge economic benefit.

invite questions as to why we hadn't been doing this for thousands of years.

Everything is clear in hindsight.

> And all of that is wasted funding, that should go into battery, solar, wind, electrical transmission, and other storage means, which are beating coal (thankfully) and will hopefully beat natural gas soon.

How society expends its resources isn't a consensus arrangement - sometimes very frustrating, other times it works out well.

Fusion research has a huge positive benefit if / when we get it to work. It's also probably going to be very important for the initial extra-solar expeditions. Doubtless there'll be other, currently unknown, benefits that come out of fusion-related research.
I really like Zvi's article on bringing back the Sabbath as a secular tool for disconnecting and ensuring your life is balanced enough that you can survive a day offline: https://thezvi.wordpress.com/2017/10/07/bring-back-the-sabba...
If we're talking about normal security consultants and not h1, yes?
Do you have a link to the video? There is a difference between saying things like "manufactured to Apple spec" and claiming they were actually manufactured by Apple.
I didn't know AT&T was just selling real time data in defiance of the FCC rules and I'm quite inclined to just terminate my service after holding an account for nearly 20 years with them over it.

That's beyond unacceptable.
How so? The author is a woman.
Maybe they did, but this lawsuit isn't about that. The lawsuit claims only that they lied to investors about how they were managing the financial risks of increased climate regulation.
Are there any laws you bump into selling 0-days? Honest question, I know their are laws about the actual hacking part but is it illegal to sell the payload? Obviously this is ethically dirty money I just was curious if it's actually dirty money in a criminal sense.
Ah, that must be a change with the more recent revisions then. The original version was definitely using Cloud Build.
I don't know many people here who believe Zerodium's price list, and while I can't speak to Zerodium's payment terms, the norm appears to be tranched payments, apparently ofter over a year; selling the same bug on the grey market for "more" money (whatever it is brokers actually pay) is a gamble that the bug you've sold isn't going to die.
1. How relevant is open space when a majority of prospective low-skilled immigrants want to live in already-heavily-populated areas, not North Dakota?

2. I already mentioned that the other countries most comparable to the US (Canada and Australia), including on the open space dimension, make the same hard distinction between high-skill and low-skill immigrants... and they are doing conspicuously better than other Western democracies at simultaneously maintaining high immigration volume and avoiding populist revolt. It is not my problem that you failed to parse this. New Zealand did see a political turn in favor of more restriction recently, but it was from the left. If anything, it's Singapore's lack of space that makes it practical for the Singaporean government to enforce the conditions under which they can keep so many guest workers around to mutual benefit, such as no pregnancies.
How feasible would it be to find bugs in the iPhone kernel’s network stack? I imagine this is pretty battle-tested stuff, but it would tick all the boxes for remote and no interaction.

Edit: Since it's XNU, and it's open-source, and it's been around for a really long time, this seems unlikely. But if something was found in here, for instance, everything would be practically compromised: https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/blob/master/bsd/netinet/...
ELI5, how do banks make money if they don't charge interest?
Salary and benefits? Seems like you are not concerned about people who benefit from driving for Uber as a part time job.

Surely this is an additional $500,000 if she finds a kernel exploit (which would net her $1 million)?
Another thing to keep in mind is that these devices already exist (used by Apple internally), only on the black market. A lot of these development fused devices are stolen from the factory and sold to black hat/gray hat hackers (and companies) already.

I think one of the intentions here is to lessen the demand for black market dev-fused phones, which is already a huge problem for Apple. This is similar to the idea of officially allowing Linux on the PlayStation — give hackers no legitimate reason to pwn your console
*$1M reward for highest vulnerability
I'm a big believer in apply postel is interpersonal communications. Particularly in the emotional realm.
Even if it's neither one, I'd still rather someone with political/socioeconomic power spend time arguing for sound science, rather than against it.
I've managed to make a (insert politically correct term for "gypsy" here) beggar in Paris turn around and walk away a few seconds after she bee-lined towards me with my scowl, which makes me wonder what look I had that was so effective...
USB Power Delivery is just flat out great. You get various voltages including 5, 7.5, 9, 12, 15, or 20V up to 5A.

I have converted a load of stuff to run on USB-C PD.

My most useful one is a travel CPAP. It consists of a USB PD trigger and a boost converter to step 20V to 24V. The trigger board is integrated into the USB-C connector and there is a small 3d printed box for the boost converter inline to contain it and provide space to adapt the output to the proprietary DC connector. Anyone wanting to DIY something similar can find PD triggers or PD trigger cables on aliexpress or ebay easily.

There are tons of products right now on Amazon and elsewhere that are basically nothing more than USB-C PD input, DC barrel plug output. Super useful, especially paired with a compatible power bank. Unfortunately for some reason all the suppliers set them at 20v despite the ICs they use in them being able to request a different voltage.
If you sell a bug to someone you know is going to break the law with it, you're getting close to the line for liability. People who sell bugs to the western IC are, as I understand it, virtually always selling to broker firms designated by governments which offer a veneer of plausible deniability; selling to a well-known broker is probably not legally all that risky.
If it's just a matter of turning off device-level notifications, then I agree (my office used MS Teams, not Slack). But actually blocking people so that you don't see their messages at all, or that they know they've been blocked? Not an appropriate feature for an internal comms tool IMO.
There is a big factor that you are missing when it come to huge taxes. And that is the fact that people, especially the wealthy, are mobile.

Tax the wealthiest 0.01% at 99% and watch how fast they leave the country for low tax regions.

It already happens with people like the Facebook cofounder that renounced US citizenship.
I am afraid that this does not apply to intellectual work since the marginal cost of new AI is 0. Hence, in theory, any new work given to lawyer, will be soon covered by more AI models.

Another effect of deploying AI, is that once a model learn something, ALL the other models become better - this does not occur in nature. I.e. once a human doctor fix a mistake other doctor can repeat this mistake.

However, once an AI doctor fix a mistake, all the other AI doctors learn from this mistake.
The reality is that the passengers don’t care about the driver, and the drivers are businesses looking for the highest paying passengers there are, with a choice of Lyft or Uber or any other matching service. This is like how northern America was back when it was full of farmers. People were self-employed, their own masters, and nobody buying their crops owed them charity.

This is one of the key interesting aspects of cryptocurrency to me. Anyone with a little knowledge can generate their own private key and store/move any amount of money in it securely.
This is great. Every company should be responsible for paying market price for security vulnerabilities in their own products. If you make something that carries significant market value, you should be paying the security tax in the form of a security team or bug bounties.
Slavery was the norm. Slave societies, where slaves made up the vast majority of the population, were definitely not the norm.
"Living off the land" is a technique used by attackers to evade detection. It's easy to monitor for new binaries, or unsigned ones. It's harder to monitor for legitimate binaries that are generally used in your environmet - it requires extra context to determine "is this suspicious".

None of these programs are exploitable, they are useful to attackers. This is great for me, as someone whose job it is to protect a network - I can start thinking about how I can monitor these binaries.
I wonder how loose the "application" will be.
I couldn't agree more. I honestly find it rather baffling that someone would write a book on not just regular expressions in general, but one particular variant in one particular language.

I've been writing code for over 15 years and if I said I had reached for regular expressions maybe 10 times in that entire time, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be off even by an order of magnitude.

There are very few cases where they're the appropriate tool, I think. They don't compose(unless you use a higher level library that lets you construct them declaratively maybe), they are hard to read and hard to debug and nearly impossible to extend.

In my opinion, parser combinators are state of the art for building parsers. They can read like prose, are very easy to extend and usually easy to debug as well since you can easily get detailed error messages.
