Ask HK: How can a programmer help small villages?
I'm talking about your typical Eastern Europe village, like 5000 people small, where almost everybody has internet access and a car.
I have an opportunity to help the local government, at least remotely. And they are open to any ideas(let's just assume the budget is really small).
What value can I bring that would positively influence such a small community?
Or maybe the Engineer could have been in mainland China? The parent comments assert that an engineer would only do this if they have no morals or are under some pressure -- but it's possible that they might actually agree with this.

I'd say an interesting question could be what was the reach of Stallman's leadership. I haven't followed GNU and FSF at all in my years while I am a comp sci guy and I do wonder on each new project which license to take. Free software is something which affect pretty directly every person on the planet yet few have heard about these movements. Software piracy is an example of a similar movement to free software which has had way more publicity with regular people. I'd say this has a lot to do with the persona of Stallman and the way he interacts with the world. People learn about who made the telephone and who discovered Americas but no high school coursebook mentions who created Linux or Python. Software has in many ways been instrumental in shaping the last 20 years yet people have never been more detached with the technology they use. Everything is a black box nowdays. Even concepts like client server communication is completely unknown to a laic. This is a failure of computer and software movements which have alienated themselves and the rest of us programmers from the public.
I wonder how far apart Inuktitut and Greenlandic are, could Greenlandic use the syllabic script w/o changing much?

Wow... this is a completely bullshit maneuver by the U.S. gov that will certainly make anyone anywhere outside the U.S hesitant to purchase from Adobe.

Aside from that, the only reason our Gov meddles with Venezuela is they have so much oil. We wouldn't care what their gov did if they paid our US oil corporations a cash tribute for every barrel pumped and sold.

Dragging Adobe into that this way is a frightening precedent that may well come back to bite us all in the ass here in the U.S.
Well, that assumes the DRM is stringent. I don't think Adobe's ever was, it was certainly cracked easily enough. CS6's activation system has also survived _many_ macOS updates, up until this moment when Apple outright ripped out 32 bit. Maybe that's because Apple was purposefully maintaining compatibility with CS6 explicitly, but given how they operate, I kind of doubt it.
As unpopular as it is in general-subject tech forums, the solution is data stores that provide decentralization and censorship resistance through distributed consensus enabled by crypto-economics, namely the blockchain.

One day, the provision of every electronic service in the world could be coordinated in a censorship resistant manner on the blockchain. Before that happens, the cryptoasset/blockchain space's software suite needs to be improved, with solutions to problems like stolen and lost private keys, and scalability needs to improve a few orders of magnitude, but seeing all of the development on dApps and smart wallets, and all the work happening to enable layer 1 sharding and to develop layer 2 scalability mechanisms like zk roll-up, I suspect it's inevitable.
It would be fascinating if Adobe quietly started selling license keys and offline-friendly software again. They couldn’t sell directly to Venezuela, but software, ah, finds a way.

Those are also a tax; if you import a million dollars of something subject to a 10% tariff, you pay 100k to the government for the privilege.

One thing that complicates the above is that the US does tend to run a larger deficit than Canada.
Defined benefit for sustenance level probably makes sense (which is more or less what Social Security is if you've worked a typical career).

Defined contribution allows for the transfer of wealth to heirs at death, which many people find a preferable and more fair-feeling way to deal with the fruits of one's labor than to have it revert to the annuity provider (private or public).

I wonder how many people even know what Stallman said about Minsky. Most of the media I read reported incorrect summaries that leave out critical details.
If you upgrade and wonder why fonts in Chrome look just a little bit off, there's a bug in Chrome/ium (HarfBuzz). Most text will look a tiny bit too narrow, some text will be slightly too wide.

> It's pretty likely that Paul Le Roux was behind TrueCrypt.

He worked on E4M, but I can't imagine that he did TrueCrypt, given the stuff he did at these (post-E4M) times. It simply doesn't fit. Also, from Wikipedia link:

"Le Roux himself has denied developing TrueCrypt in a court hearing in March 2016, in which he also confirmed he had written E4M."

The role of government is to protect its citizens and their property. By that measure, the wealthy have a lot more to lose than the poor and thus receive a proportionately larger service from the government. They have more to lose if the government fails.

Thus, the wealthy should pay more for that protection. In fact, most of what the government does is protect the wealthy from the poor within its borders.
> In the past, in the US, capital gains wasn't taxed at all because it was considered double taxation (since the investment was already taxed)

The same thing can be said about every tax ever. Every time you tax money as it changes hands, that same money has changed hands before and was probably taxed then.

By accessibility I didn't really mean "commonality in terms of numbers," I mean that they are generally more easier to configure and work with (on top of being readily available). x86 PCs and ARM-powered mobile devices are very plentiful, are fairly modular without requiring more sophisticated tools, and avoid a high barrier of entry (i.e. deeper EE experience).

The author thinks that when their imagined Mad Max society comes to be, they're going to be picking up a soldering iron against old Segas and TI-84s. If for some reason that you need to use computers in a developmental capacity (since the author's OS has an assembler and an `ed` clone) in a "post-collapse society," I don't think it would be that hard to find some discarded HP desktop or laptop to work on.
I have no expertise on this subject, but here goes. First, I don't think the technique can see electrical charges, which is how any chip stores volatile state. Second, if such chips rely on security by obscurity -- and judging from the NDAs typically required to get any official information about them, I'd say it's part of their defense in depth -- then that security would now be weaker. Finally, this technique would arguably enhance security if independent labs were now able to verify that a chip is devoid of back doors and implementation errors.
against the tidal wave of ML this is quirky and refreshing and neat, thanks
In Puerto Rico it sure does a lot of butchering, after having taken Ubers there
A bit of a tangent but in the novel "The Windup Girl" they live in a post oil world which essentially ended up more of a total societal restructuring that pretty much resembled what we'd consider a collapse. Nations fell and in some places companies took over. Cities collapsed as the population shrank and technology shifted to focus more on bio engineering to make up for the loss of all the mechanical/electrical technology that ran our world since powering it all got a lot more expensive after the oil was gone.

In one part a high security government installation was described with "ancient" PC's. They couldn't make new ones so they kept whatever they could running and the narrators mind was blown thinking about how much energy they wasted.

I think one of the top priorities for a project like this should be making it easy to implement considering practically everything you would use now days to get help getting it working won't exist. No websites or forums or anything like that.
Isn't that basically ForkDelta with fees?
I'm not worried about GNU projects or any project, I am worried about the idea of free software, which has and has had many supporters but only one champion.

I don't think it will survive. Rich corporations like Google or Microsoft will continue to fund open source projects when it suits them, while locking out users through the cloud and hardware. Those other supporters will play along, because the corporations are paying their salaries or donating to their projects.
That's fair. Pro Tools crashing during a session has been a meme for awhile, despite it being pretty stable for the last 5-ish years.

But keep in mind these companies are usually pretty small, a lot of sole-proprietors out there, and their revenue comes from new products/sales not maintaining projects. So there's logistical and incentive problems in deploying fixes quickly.
Many studios and many musicians are not wealthy enough to throw out a roomful of working equipment just because it doesn't conform to industry trends.
It’s not as high social status as the UK, but there are plenty of officers who come from relatively wealthy families. The officer corps skews upper middle class, with 40% of ROTC recruits coming from the top quantile of households in terms of income. (At Harvard or Stanford, 65% are from the top quantile.) The other major entry point for officers, the service academies, requires excellent test scores and two letters of recommendation from the Vice President or a Member of Congress.

By no means are officers all from wealthy families, but those folks are definitely over represented.
Oh. My bad. I should have kept up to date.

I have no inside knowledge but what I’ve heard is that Apple’s cloud generally does not hold any keys. Keys are derived from information available only on user devices including the user password, and do not leave the devices. There are exceptions for cases where required for some cloud based functionality but that would not include simple storage and retrieval.

However this may be different in China. Just saying it’s possible for the cloud to be kept in the dark in some cases and that’s what Apple supposedly does whenever they can. Yeah some weasel words there, I realize.
No watermarking besides the standard AAC tags saying who the owner is.

Steve Jobs argued for DRM free music as a means to interoperability instead of licensing FairPlay way back in 2007 in his “Thoughts on Music” post. He argued that most music was already DRM free and easily copied and only a small percentage of music on most iPods was bought from iTunes.
Good point. The original draft included this as a value proposition because I generally find that bold opinions are a good starting point for developing valuable insights. Sometimes, that insight comes from those with dissenting opinions. I've since edited the post to emphasize more "R can be a great CLI tool" and less "cleaning data in R is bad".
Speaking as someone in a higher-tax state whose taxes went up as a result of the state tax deduction restriction in the 2017 tax bill, I wouldn't mind that if the difference were visibly going to help educate children in poorer states. Instead, it seems that a lot of it is being pocketed by people who already have a lot more money than I do. So although I can see the argument for restricting or eliminating SALT deductions, on the whole I still think the bill was terrible.

I don't think you should feel bad about accepting the EV tax credit. The purpose of that is to help jump-start the industry; restricting it by income level would have diminished the desired effect. I haven't bought an EV (yet), but I'm glad you have.
I don't believe that employers can pay a "match" into IRAs. (Now, whether allowing them to do so into 401(k) is a good idea in the first place is a fair question. It's great if you're a solo employer, and serves to encourage some level of savings as an individual, but I wonder if we couldn't get some of the benefit of the second in another manner.)
I've just checked which 32-bit apps I have (system information/software/applications if you wonder) and turns out if I upgrade I lose:

- My scanner support (they have new version, which is insanely buggy and can't even detect my scanner properly)

- All my games (literally every single one of them turns out to be 32-bit) - I don't play that much but still, would be a shame to lose all of them

- Postal label printing app (no idea if they have an update, need to check)

- App supporting my stand-alone disk array (not using it too much though)

- My niche learning apps (pretty old, from small providers, not sure if they'd ever be updated)

Much more than I expected, given that I don't have any exotic stuff like music instruments, specialized equipment, etc. So I personally probably would hold off upgrading as long as I can.
Thank you for the reference! It was quite eye-opening.

Going to 64 bit can be a lot of work. So there is quite some software which is still lightly maintained for which there isn't a 64 bit update available. Software which has worked perfectly fine up to date.

Up is very much not free. It costs a lot of energy to keep something suspended in mid-air. Airplanes that move hundreds of people are already under scrutiny for how much energy they use, there's absolutely no way we'd accept personal flying machines. Personal automobiles that can rest firmly on the ground are already criticized for their consumption even without having to lift off the earth.

Numbers is actually the best spreadsheet for stuff where presentation matters. For example, me and my friends use it for our D&D (and invisible sun) character sheets - the formula language is powerful enough to do what we need, and its ability to manage multiple tables per sheet is uniquely powerful.

And the icloud version of Numbers is pretty handy when you don't have a Mac around (but the collaboration capabilities suck compared to Sheets).

Piracy? Surely this doesn't count as a "solution". Just because you can evade a ban doesn't mean that they "still have access" - I mean they do but it's not legal.

I am no fan of RMS for many reasons, but one thing can no one can take away from him: he totally foresaw the curtailing of freedoms decades before anyone else did.

I expect the next step to be: if you use an unrestricted platform (Linux, OpenBSD, etc...), you won't be granted access to major chunks of the internet.

And then next: if you want to use Linux, you'll need the IT equivalent of a carry permit from the govt.
Well, this is what the ISPs and providers asked for... FCC could either take on the role of they have the authority (and keep NN) or that they don't, and the states then do have authority.

I'm happier the way it is... now as states lock things down, ISPs that cover multiple states have to either have wierd rules, or comply with the most restrictive (to them) implementation more broadly. They deserve what they get.
Adobe had a choice, and opted for the one where a single point of failure could cripple an entire nation of users.

"Failure" in this case is legal, not technical (distinction without a difference to users).
