- "A few more iterations and no-one will need to think"

I disagree. A few more iterations people would think more about how to think and improve thinking, and focus more on the root problem rather than nitty-gritty problems along the way.
Looking at the comments here, I'm pretty sure he's telling you the exact opposite of what you want to hear.
Yeah, I think it should be solved in both places TBH. Defense in depth.

But it won't happen because people are dumb and don't care about the issue until the exact moment it bites. This basically applies to every security problem: everything is perpetually broken and therefore nefarious actors can always find a way to achieve their goals. Most people's best defence is to not have any enemies.
The article mentions that tha parts of the Fairphone 2 are not compatible with this version, unfortunately. Maybe future versions will be compatible to the Fairphone 3, though.
I'm saying that probably a very tiny percentage of Americans get 0 IU. Which makes 0 IU a very poor choice of a baseline. Since you need some concrete amount to use for your control group, what would you propose using?
>Every single time I've taken LSD (or other psychedelics) it felt great.

I'm glad you've had a good experiences with LSD every time you've taken it. But even a simple look into the history and culture of LSD and you would know that very "bad" trips are possible. I'm shocked that you haven't done more research into LSD as a whole.

>It is also a well-known fact LSD doesn't work the next day you take it and you have to rest for about a weak before you can repeat the trip (but, to be honest, I am to mention I haven't checked this myself).

Your assertion of "a well-known fact" is in fact false. I'm glad you put the last part in parentheses.

It sounds like you are prime for some reading on the history of LSD & psychedelics, understanding the effects long & short term, understanding how the drug(s) works, and how there were attempts to weaponize it (of course there were).

Apologies if the tone of this comment is a bit down on you, it's not meant to be, I just _really_ hope you educate yourself before speaking again on this subject.

> But for all its horrors, the french revolution wasn’t in the business of mass slaughtering its own population.

The French Revolution was strangled in its crib while it's mass killing was still accelerating, and it's leaders themselves killed en massé by counterrevolutionaries; it wasn't in business very long for that reason, a fact that future revolutionaries were keenly aware of and eager to avoid.

The stated ideology of the 1790s Paris Commune might be more attractive to modern democratic capitalists than that of the Bolsheviks, et al.,, but the main reason that the former has less of a history of violence than the latter is that they lost very early on in their program of exterminating an ever-expanding list of perceived enemies of the revolution, not some greater humanitarianism.

Haha. Okay: Actually didn't see it because that one line landed below the fold on my resolution (960px height, fixed taskbar on Windows). Rookie mistake. But also bad UI design if this is actually something that's important and that users should pay attention to.

But.

(1) There is no informed consent happening here, highlighting to a user, say in Europe, that this would lead to a U.S.-regulated entity knowing a lot about their browsing history. Regular users can't be expected to understand that that is what this setting implies but will think of "DNS over HTTPS" as technical mumbo jumbo that they don't need to pay attention to and that they should keep at default.

(2) The dropdown doesn't have any options besides Cloudflare. In order to use the "Other" option, the user would have to research URLs of providers on the Web, which seems like so much friction that few people will do this.

Actually retail sales at AT&T and T-mobile stores(not third-party retailers) can make mid to high five figures if they're competent salespeople. Maybe low six figures at a high-volume store. Most of the money is in commission but it's there.

>If you hope to upgrade your Fairphone 2 with these modules, we have bad news. Modules and their inner parts are not compatible. But their housings are said to be produced from 50% recycled polycarbonate, so there's at least some reuse!

The cost of transporting a hundred thousand burgers is dwarfed by the cost of creating a hundred thousand burgers. The primary costs associated with meat are in the production, not the transport: compared to, say, Beyond Meat, a single beef burger is 15x more ecologically expensive _before_ transport -- which is the same, and inconsequential in comparison.
Gas should be $20 per gallon. (see economic model below). So b) is super interesting to me.

Obama’s former Chief Economist, Michael Greenstone at U. Chicago studies the social cost of carbon. He modeled the cost of carbon at around $2,000 per ton. That means a gallon of gas “costs” society $20.

Which is a multiple of the current price of a gallon (~$4) today. This isn’t a 10% or 20% tax on gas, this is a nuts and bolts rebuilding of society.

I’m excited to be a part of it. I can understand how some would find that unwinnable or overwhelming. But to me the climate is the largest business opportunity civilization has ever seen.

That's not related to gerrymandering though, which is why I think the post you're replying to is confused.

The unfairly low representation of large states in the Senate is a huge issue, but it's not what "gerrymandering" means.
This is, as far as I know, only possible if you bought it online.
That isn't the sin so much as voting for ones who do again. And even then that has the defense of being a systematic issue resulting from incentives and systems of people. Given an incumbent advantage voting for a known lesser lower abuse of power in spite of professed stance against it may be preferred strategically to the a worse opposition who calls the abuse not far enough (WO or extra bad opposition for short). Primarying them would disadvantage them against the WO in exchange for potential getting someone who actually keeps the promise. A nasty resulting trap in the service of the status quo.

The main answer for how not is pressure to reform the electoral system which unfortunately requires a critical mass of support and fervor for an abstract issue.

The other countries that tax worldwide income: Libya, North Korea, Eritrea and the Philippines. Great company to be in.

You could call it ridiculous because it’s so unusual. But the reason most countries don’t do it is that taxes are a supposed to be a deal - the government forces you to hand over money and pays for services you use in return. Expats - they aren’t using those services.

And your point about tax evaders is moot - taxing global income only hurts law abiding expats, not evaders. Seems like you’re being hostile and skeptical for personal reasons.

Original quote from https://blog.fefe.de/?ts=a3a04f1b
A different angle from the sibling comment's: the hash functions used here are meant to approximate pseudorandom functions, which are functions that, while deterministic, literally have no structure at all relating their inputs to their outputs in any way.

Hash functions used in the real world haven't been proven to have this property (and there are various theoretical limits on how readily they could be proven to have it, and maybe on the extent to which they could actually have it), but in order to be widely adopted, a hash function has to pass every available statistical test for approximating pseudorandomness, and also has to resist mathematical analysis aimed at finding useful structure. That means that ordinary human intelligences fail to find a practical recipe for predicting properties of the output from properties of the input.

In the same way, we would expect that deep learning systems fail to find such recipes too.

On the other hand, it's not absolutely impossible that there are some kinds of regularities that a deep learning system might discover. If so, they would be considered very serious flaws in the hash function in question. But deployed cryptographic primitives have sometimes had problems like this. The best example that I know of is the RC4 cipher

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC4#Security

where there have been a series of statistical biases (which are often forms of correlation between input and output, which should not exist if RC4 approximated pseudorandomness well). Some of these were apparently discovered experimentally by researchers with some kind of hypothesis testing tools, as opposed to based on theoretical abstract reasoning about the mathematics of RC4. This makes me think that some kinds of deep learning systems might also have been able to discover those correlations, although I'm not sure that they would have been the most efficient methods for doing so. (An interesting test might be to try to use deep learning to find new correlations in RC4 that aren't yet known -- which seems plausible since researchers have repeatedly found new ones over time.)

I think there are interesting problems about what kinds of correlations and structures deep learning systems can or can't learn efficiently, and whether those are the kinds of correlations and structures that are likely to exist as genuine flaws within deployed hash functions. I definitely don't know enough about the mathematics of deep learning to appreciate how to begin answering this question; I only know that if it turned out to be useful in some case, it would mean that the application of human intelligence and existing statistical tools to assessing hash functions' security had dramatically fallen down on the job.

After payroll provider collapses, banks drain employee accounts
You might be reading it wrong... everything in law is in a grey area until further defined in court, but legal documents should typically be read with full boolean logic applied to all the words:

"control and direction" - sure, they give you direction. But do they control what tools you use, when and how you do it?

"connection with the performance of the work" - Are they controlling the final deliverable, or the performance, again, as in when and how the work is done?

I suspect that software consultants have a reasonable argument that they control their own work, while their clients have control over the acceptance of the final deliverable, so the above points are not fulfilled.

Edit: And for B, it just seems like having a 2nd client would fulfill that criteria. Your 2nd client is outside usual course of the 1st clients business.
All these people making Uber money on the side ... the whole thing was possible in part due to the low friction in (and also complete disregard for) the regulatory environment.

I’m in NYC and honestly can’t figure out how to legally hire a studio assistant for a few hours a week without being at risk for any of a number of lawsuit vectors.

So I just coil my own cables. And I don’t mentor people who want to learn some things about the music industry.

Not a crippling loss for me, but I miss the relationship building, I miss passing on things I’ve learned, I miss the creative back and forth, being turned on to new stuff ... and frankly my studio is a mess.

I’m not sure why we can’t figure out a way to protect workers without making everything a legal minefield. One effect of this sort of legislation is it gets harder and harder to be a small player. The big companies always figure out how to deal with the rules.

It’s sad.

> It doesn't have all the features but it's fast and much more intuitive to use, even though it looks basically the same on the surface.

The "It doesn't have all the features" part is the kicker here. I agree that Atlassian has fixed a lot of problems with their next-gen projects, but I think they're unusable for a lot of situations because:

1. the missing features (lots of workflow stuff that people rely on, for example)
2. they don't play well with other Jira projects. That's fine if teams are totally independent, but an epic from a classic project can't contain an issue from a next-gen project, as an example.

That said: if you've got projects that can work within the limitations of next-gen, I think it's a good move forward!
“No single thing that a single individual does will have much of an effect on climate change”

Dismissing something that may improve things to some degree but not completely is an old trick to stop inconvenient discussions and do nothing. Happens all the time. Drugs in the US costing too much compared to the rest of the world? Sure but look at how much the insurers make therefore stop asking why pharmaceutical companies charge that much. Reduce carbon emissions at home? would help but the real problem is China therefore let’s not do anything.

Eating less meat is not the solution to everything but it would be a benefit in multiple ways. Less animal suffering, less emissions and better health.

Drivers do choose whether to work, just like employees do. They also choose when to be on the clock, which is the single item from your comment that can even loosely be used to argue they could be contractors. Drivers definitely don’t choose where to work, that’s dictated by the apps’ central scheduling algorithms, and only might be related to the driver’s current location, and not in any way chosen by the driver.

Choosing the route, for example, is a service the ride hailing companies rely on the driver to perform. Like an employee.

Choosing to run an errand, give me a break? You can’t be serious? Employees do that stuff all the time. That type of thing is not related to the distinction between contractor or employee.
Well, if this stuff was easy to understand, we wouldn't be having a crisis because of it, would we?

Probability is highly non-intuitive (kind of like quantum mechanics), so most people (including scientists) don't understand it and just memorize "protocols" and "formulas" and "p-value stuff".

> This depends, obviously, on the code calling allocatebufs

That was my point. The article claims to introduce a backdoor with the tiny change in the second example, i.e. "commit the change from the second example an you're in". But that just isn't true without assuming some other vulnerable code at the callsite.

And arguably, the assumed bug is a bug of the assumed callsite and not a bug of the allocatebufs method!

"See how easy it is to introduce a backdoor into C code which just one small change that looks completely harmless" might generally be true (debatable), but claiming that the change shown in the article (on it's own) is an example of this is incorrect and looks a bit like fearmongering.

I find these archives very useful in understanding how they operate and what methods that use. 60 years later but are they now that different than before? Some things don't change.

Vegetarian is more efficient than meat, but if we use every efficiency to increase the population, we end up hitting other limits to growth.

What Norman Borlaug, who won the Nobel Prize for the Green Revolution, said applies here: "The green revolution has won a temporary success in man's war against hunger and deprivation; it has given man a breathing space. If fully implemented, the revolution can provide sufficient food for sustenance during the next three decades. But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only."

Efficiency is tactical. Reduction is strategic.

This is a gross over-simplification. Cloudflare is required by contract to respect your privacy, which is much stronger than even the privacy laws have here in the EU since it addresses everyone, not just the EU population:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/commitment-to-priv...

The people fighting for the status quo probably know how to run their own resolver, even with DoH or DTLS. But Mozilla's conundrum is how to protect everyone 's privacy (and to a certain extent, security). DoH, despite all its flaws, attempts to do that by piggy-backing on already working infrastructure, so it seems like a good fit to move everyone to DoH. But then, they're the chicken-and-egg problem. How do you make sure people deploy local DoH resolvers if no browser enforces the move to DoH ? How do you make sure those resolvers are truthful, or even respect local law (having both is often impossible).

So, you need to compromise. I'd have preferred to have temporary non-profit third party entity handle this à-la-Letsencrypt, but Mozilla deemed its contract with Cloudflare sufficient to provide enough guaranties. Ideally, name resolution should be done closer to the user instead of being centralized like that. But by arguing instead of experimenting we just keep the status quo. Time will tell if this was a bad decision. But it's not as clear cut as this blog post says it is.
Based on what, that's the question. It's the internet, you got scientists who spent years studying this issue, performed hundreds of studies to reach conclusions, published their conclusions in peer-reviewed journals.

And then some guy from Twitter comes along and says "No it's not" and people run with it just because that's what they want to hear.

Also there are attorneys: a real person acting on behalf of a different real person. Currently many financial institutions seem to be unable to cope with this situation.
