Yup. These ideas have been kicking around for 25 years.

In theory, you could use DNA-based reactions to solve problems. Since DNA is quite small and the reactions run in parallel (more or less), you should be able to brute-force some otherwise intractable problems. The classic example of this is Adleman (1994), which uses DNA to find a Hamiltonian path. (here: https://www2.cs.duke.edu/courses/cps296.4/spring04/papers/Ad...)

In practice, anything involving DNA is a bit fussy and error prone, and exponential growth means you'll eventually drown in DNA too.

The option to use proportional fonts is a very rare feature in vim-like text editors (the only other way I know of is to use terminal vim in mlterm), so for people who want this the screenshot is good advertisement.

In fact, after reading you comment, I promptly startet to install it (still compiling as I type this). My use-case is creative writing: I'm very used to vim keybindings from coding, but prefer to have a variable-width fonts for writing.
Seems like the ideal use case would be 1) massive amounts of data needing to be stored 2) data integrity is important but non-essential 3) data density is more important than data transfer.

Your scheme requires copying the work, probably several times, and distributing some of those copies, so it won't fly.

I'm pretty sure the fact that digital lending necessarily makes tons of copies of the work—consider live server disk, backups (possibly many copies there), copies in cache across who knows how many devices on the Internet, the copy on the user's device, copies in RAM all over the place, et c., such that there might well be twenty copies of a book before it reaches the eyes of a borrowing reader—is why publishers are able to put license terms on ebook lending in the first place, since technically the whole process, practically speaking, involves copying the book a bunch of times.
This makes no sense at all. A rich person flying doesn't do more damage than a poor person flying. And income and wealth aren't randomly assigned, people make choices about their career, saving and spending as a fundamental aspect of living in a free society.

Your proposal is just an incredibly naive implementation of complete socialism. It's the same effect as saying janitors and surgeons get paid identically like every 12 year old dreaming up communism comes up with, only in your scenario the surgeon still gets 10x the salary on paper but then also has to pay 10x to buy the same thing.

We need to make externalities like global warming and pollution be priced into things instead of passed onto society at large. We don't need to eat the rich to accomplish that.

Why would you use the puppet-esque style of management then?

Just generate the complete list of authorized_keys yourself, don't let puppet modify it for you. But do let puppet distribute the file. It's beyond easy.

But this is a distraction. Anyone that can influence the insertion of a permanent backdoor in authorized_keys is almost certainly in deep enough to not care about any specific mechanism. Being able to populate arbitrary, unaudited data on your hosts is an intolerable situation to be in.

And anyway, you're wrong. The 'purge_ssh_keys' directive can be set to 'true', disabling merge.

> Cert-only auth prevents this class of attack from the beginning.

Cert auth is a subset of pubkey auth, which includes both. You could set AuthorizedKeysFile to 'none' but you'd have to explain how an attacker that can influence authorized_keys cannot also influence sshd_config. Of course these are different files likely populated via different mechanism, but the threat model you are implying here seems overly specific. It might work for some people but, given the tone of the article (unspecified 'you' are doing in wrong), I don't buy it.

I'm no accountant, but I think the bulk of the issues is that profits never last in the auto industry. GM trades at a price to earnings of 1/4 of what the market as a whole gets, because investors expect earnings to be negative as soon as a recession hits.

It isn't. But they're both safe choices.

Both are based on the same underlying principles (AES encrypted database, encrypted using a slow hash of the master password). Both have been audited professionally. Both have browser extensions whose source code you can read (it is JavaScript, just open the extensions directory). Both support a full array of 2F options.

People are moving from LastPass to BitWarden because it is a better product. Plus many dislike LastPass's owners due to the LogMeIn pricing/business practices (like difficulty cancelling/early cancellation to avoid additional billing/aggressive sales people/etc).

The only advantage BitWarden may have is its backend is open source software and you can run a copy yourself (although most choose not to). If you're running it yourself BitWarden is likely your primary contender. If you aren't the difference is largely academic.

A bit of a further tangent but:

I continue to believe that it's very likely that brains somehow leverage quantum computing.

The human brain is able to accomplish computational tasks on only around 40 watts of power that destroy what we can accomplish using pretty much any known machine learning algorithm using tens or even hundreds of thousands of watts of power. Maybe our algorithms are primitive or wrong, or maybe the brain just is not a classical computer.

The power of brains is so "unreasonable" that I've long suspected that there are only three possibilities:

(1) Brains are quantum computers.

(2) P=NP, or for a weaker form perhaps there exist large numbers of undiscovered algorithms that offer massive speed improvements over any currently known algorithm.

(3) Brains or intelligence are "supernatural" or at least tap into something about nature that we fundamentally do not understand.

I think option #1 is by far the most likely, especially given that brains excel most of all at search and quantum computing seems to really be able to speed up search.

There is just no way classical computation can do what the human brain does on 40 watts. To me that strains credulity much more than any of the three options above. It just cannot possibly be so.
Bokeh and Plotly obviously do much, much more than matplotlib, and if you want what they provide, you would go for those. Seaborn is more presentable-looking by default and easier to get things laid out in. I personally haven't used straight-up matplotlib for a long time.
That's a good point. I suppose "usefulness" in today's world reflects the kind of problems being solved today. eg Java had CORBA support for years, just because in the late 90s, distributed objects were going to be a thing. XML/WS support is still there, but it took a while to get JSON/REST, etc.

If you want to remove stdlib packages, I guess you would need Go to ship a tool that automatically rewrites sources to point those package imports to a standard "golang/x" location (or something) that provides the same package.

Or alternatively, some kind of indirection via the go.mod file.
It kinda depends on the manufacturer. Some have done a better job than others.
Oxycontin wasn't just rubber stamped for end of life cancer treatment. You're referring to when the FDA decided to further expand Purdue's drug rights enabling it to be used on 11-16 year olds. Purdue, when seeking this approval, were already facing criminal charges for their marketing of oxycontin. And the FDA's decision in expanding treatment to kids was primarily driven by them asking Purdue to carry out studies evaluating the safety and effectiveness of oxycontin on kids, because they seem like trustworthy guys. Lo, and behold, Purdue's carried out some "studies" and told the FDA it's just awesome. And the FDA said, "Oh okay, cool." [1]

And this story repeats over and over since our entire regulatory system is, when it comes to the big and influential players from Purdue to Boeing, mostly just glorified self regulation. And that leads to a worst of both worlds scenario. We get the lack of oversight inherent in self regulation, yet it's paired with an undue faith in our regulatory systems as many people don't understand the actual regulatory processes, or lack thereof.

Try driving one of the latest cars with all modern driver aids etc. for a few hundred miles: lane departure, blind spot warning, parking sensors, automated parking assist, distance sensors etc. Include routing around traffic congestion and a requirement to stop halfway for some unexpected reason, necessitating use of in-car navigation system.

Then try doing the same with a 1990 BMW. Unless you are being deliberately obtuse you will miss the driver aids etc., as they make the whole experience so much easier. Old cars are simply nowhere near the latest cars for safety, comfort, ease of use etc.
Seaborn isn't usable without matplotlib, nor does it aim to be. It gives you simple high-level calls and as soon as you need to tweak your plot you're back to matplotlib. (Similar to the pandas plotting shown in the article actually.)

Bokeh is nice. And has made huge improvements over the past year or two. But it still doesn't directly compete with matplotlib because it's more focused on interactive plots.
Indeed, one could only imagine the cost of sequencing the dna to retrieve the data (not to mention the current lack of random access). Illumina's highest capacity sequencer will do 6Tb (terabases). The machine costs about half a million dollars and each run is tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention the lab costs of preparing/storing the dna. Additionally, the depth at which one would have to sequence to get _all_ of the data back reliably would be >1 meaning that every base would have to be sequence more than once (to avoid sequencing errors).

The "market" has decided that Amazon deserves a near-total monopoly on the e-book reader market, which allows them to unfairly pressure publishers who have no realistic alternative if they actually want online sales. (Publishers are not a fan of Kindle unlimited.) Just recently Amazon released a book ahead of embargo and they will face zero repercussion for doing so.

A market that had more than one way to "publish" books online would be a different ballgame than the one we're playing now
> Coincidentally, Amazon brand products are usually pretty good in my experience, so this might not be a terrible outcome for users who have already decided to come shop at Amazon's store.

So unbelievable.

Just based on iPhone sales it doesn’t look like many people actually care, but those who do, boy are they vocal about it. Why is this such a burning issue? Just use the adapter or invest in a decent pair of BT headphones and never worry about it again. It’s been probably 4 years since I’ve even used a device with a 3.5mm plug.

> The moment it's possible to sell the mortgages on, that incentive is removed.

It's not. Investors in the secondary market don't want to buy shitty subprime loans. The only reason lenders originate these awful loans is because the government incentivizes them to do so by guaranteeing to buy them via Fannie and Freddie. Fannie and Freddie buy half of all US mortgages, and in doing so dramatically distort interest rates and the amount of liquidity in the housing market. They also guarantee these loans, something a lender would never do, which is why mortgage-backed securities were considered "safe" leading up to the crash in 2008.

If Fannie and Freddie didn't exist, subprime loans would either not exist or would have dramatically higher interest rates in order to properly protect against the risk of default.
