Right, but the sentence start is taken from the first word of a random state transition pair, not the first word of a random sentence.

That ignores the plain fact that certain "groups" commit certain crimes more than others, which is often a source of "group" correlation with crime and punishment.

Assuming oppression is usually just the result of a superficial reading of the data.
In dialup, you (or your modem) would dial a POP server, or point-of-presence. That was a modem bank on one side, and Internet backbone link on the other, generally as a local call. The website was reached via the POP, but you could reach any website anywhere on the public Internet without having to dial up each individually.

More specifically, PSTN is a public, switched, telecommunications network, in which each communication occurs over a direct, and until recently physical, circuit.
The "switches" refer to how those circuits are set up and broken down. By contrast the Internet is packet routed; each data packet is routed across the network by the best available route. Users don't have dedicated circuits (though there are dedicated addresses), but rather data from multiple communications is commingled on common transmission channels.

There were BBSes which you'd call directly (the job board DICE ws initially a BBS), but BBS != website. Similar in ways to today's SPAs though.

Frustrated UK user here. I hardly ever answer my phone anymore it just isn’t worth it. We get hounded by insurance, PPI, investment scams, trading scams, there is a new one going around now for windows. I don’t even answer my mobile any more just in the habit of checking voicemail and my reception catches dozens of calls a day. We have a virtual reception that charges by the call they answer and sometimes these add up to over £100/ month. Vodafone block outright scams now I basically get a call try to answer and it gets cancelled. Vodafone sent me a text regarding it. My landline is off just a voicemail box now. The telcos are dead if this continues, whatsapp, facetime, facebook, ios and android messenger, slack, hangouts, MSTeams, Wechat are how I communicate now. Is that a sign of things to come?

I was very very lucky, a couple times, with the timing of what I was passionate about and what the market was interested in. And plenty of the people I know work longer hours because they're so in-demand. But I think the underlying principle is sound: if you have the market power to command high salaries, most companies wont push you away for wanting reasonable working hours.
PSTN is likely dead soon regardless at present rates. My guess is within 5 years though that may be slightly optimistic.

I propose we introduce a clever new concept we can call your "Fizz". You get a first fizz, and a last fizz. You can change it whenever, but you need to have one. But a fizz can only be ascii characters without case and no spaces.
We just need a way to map (with some but not perfect reliability) your fizz to your identity as proven by some authorative third party..

The point being that 'name' is a term interpreted in culturally varied ways... which when I design most systems I dont care about. so to make it clear, lets not use that any more.

What a terrible article. The thrust is that it's bad that:

- Facebook leads in reporting, with 45M possible cases, but apparently even that isn't trying hard enough

- Facebook is moving toward E2E for messaging

- Amazon doesn't intrude on customer data

- Dropbox, Microsoft and Google do not sufficiently intrude on their users data

Imagine AWS started scanning your VMs for digital contraband... How many customers would actually put up with that?

Or perhaps you've not lived in other countries. Don't get me wrong; the US is doing fine, but honestly it's no so unique or even the best place for an average immigrant. For some highly-skilled immigrants, however, the US is unique in terms of opportunities.
Ok yeah I understand what you mean. Yeah it would be super interesting to have closer integration between Swift and Rust. For instance, if you could treat Rust traits as protocols or vice versa. It seems super compelling the idea of writing low-level memory handling in Rust and then operating on it with high level Swift code.

> LuaJIT as a backend for another language, not primarily Lua programmers

Not exactly backend but that kinda fits my use case. I have a C embedded application that I need scripting on. Nothing unsecure from the user, from my own backend, but it requires a foreign function interface, and its a super constrained device.

Lua, JavaScript, forth, etc. None I’ve been able to find anything I like under 50 kB flash or are even slightly “friendly”.

Found one in JavaScript was close, but it’s an interpreted language which means every letter of code is a byte I need to transfer then have parsed.

I’ll look into this. Esp if it’s still possible to send just bytecode in.

Boulton's patent covers vanes attached to the wingtips, hinged at their center, and used to keep the wing stable about the roll axis. He describes a weight hanging from the center of the airplane attached to cables that rotated the vanes to make it stable.

The weight-hanging thing is clearly unworkable, as it would be gyrating and swinging about in the breeze.

Wing-warping and ailerons are far more workable, as the control force is in proportion to the amount of their deflection. This makes control natural. The vanes, being hinged on their centerline, have no such feedback.

As far as I know, no airplane has ever used such a device. I wouldn't call them "modern" ailerons at all. None of the Wright's contemporaries used it, including Charles Manly, the pilot of Langley's Aerodrome which had no longitudinal control at all, yet later argued that Boulton invented it.

I think there's a LOT to be said for inventing and building a system that actually works and flies, rather than a sketch on a piece of paper.

All modern aircraft can trace their designs right back to the Wright Flyer.

Members of this organization need to be pursued as criminals. Internal reform of a criminal organization is a sick joke. They're all accessories to murder; changes to company policy don't change that.

If their government is intent on protecting them from prosecution, then extralegal retributive action taken by an competing spy agency could be suitable payback. Unfortunately that assumes the existence of a competing spy agency that isn't equally morally bankrupt.

I have the suffix III which often gets written iii, and sometimes get attached to my last name so they just say it and then and accented "ee" sound on the end. There have even been other variations, but those have all been one-off exceptions.

Even at the government level, identity isn't solved. I have two government issued IDs, both current, that contradict each other and once barred me from getting on a flight. I also have to visit the IRS in person regularly to confirm my identity. I had multiple issues with standardized tests when I was younger, including one instance where they both wanted to delete my score because they thought I couldn't fill out my name correctly and they also wanted to give me an award (which ultimately made me a National Merit Scholar) - the best part is because of the confusion on my name they had a hard time figuring out whether or not they were supposed to give it to me (as in they thought I both did and did not exist in their system due to the naming error).

The above are just a handful of examples, there are many more and those aren't even necessarily the most extreme. The only thing I know for certain is my children will not share my name, or have any weird shit attached to it.

Here's one thing I don't understand: In addition to enabling dynamic linking, this mechanism allows Swift to compile less code (generic functions only need to be compiled once) and therefore reduce instruction cache misses.

But certainly the tradeoff for this type-info-vtable "witness table" and much more heavy boxing must impact the data cache miss rate. What's the tradeoff end up being in practical terms? Is it worth it?

Also, although it seems there's features that let you "freeze" a type, is there a practical way that a non-language expert could ever profile and discover that they may want to use such a feature to improve performance?

Especially given that Swift programs on iOS probably only dynamically link to the system libraries, this seems like a powerful language feature to enable something that could have been achieved by writing the Swift system libraries as typed facades around a typeless core, which you so often see in C++ STL implementations.

Not in all cases. In Germany and Finland (maybe all EU passports???) ä is spelled ae, ö is spelled oe in the machine readable part (umlauts shown in the "human-readable" part). This is important to know when you need a visa.

For Germans this is not a big problem because it has been like this forever if the umlaut is not available for technical reasons. For Finns this is a problem, because this "transcription" is completely unknown in Finnish. For a couple of weeks now it has been possible to get an electronic visa for Russia on the internet. Reportedly many Finns with an ä in their name (that's not uncommon) dropped the dots when applying for their visa, because an ä is not accepted. At the border they were not allowed to enter, because the machine-readable part of the passport has ae instead.
Number Shield on iOS will allow you to block all calls beginning in an area code, but lets through any numbers in your contact list.
Calling is broken. I wished Apple would just add an option "Block all calls unless their number is in contacts". It's ridiculous that this option is only available in Do Not Disturb. It's like Apple was trying to somehow profit from robo-callers.

It's time to put calls into the grave. The next step needs to be something like we have for websites. You need to get a personal SSL certificate to call and it will be bound to your identity. Then whenever you call, a random certificate will be generated to authenticate yourself to the callee. The callee will verify that the anonymous root certificate of the caller wasn't revoked. And then either block the call or let it through.

Robocallers would simply get their root certificate revoked and would be unable to carry out ANY other call in the name of that company until they paid the imposed fines and re-imbursed their victims for the lost time and annoyance. People creating these companies would lose the ability to obtain another certificate for another company until the previous charges are resolved.

This is just a momentary brain dump, but essentially all problems in our society revolve around a lack of accountability. We have the technology to anonymously impose accountability in everything digital. Let's start using it!

There are few available phone numbers which aren't already on numerous telemarketing / robospam systems. Exhaustive wardialing is highly tractable.

Not exactly what you meant, but I believe the interstate highway system was designed for redundancy for military mobility as a primary concern after WWII because of how easily rail could be taken out.
> Block all calls unless their number is in contacts

I just implement that option manually - never pick up unless I know the number. Worst case, they'd leave a message. If your business is not worth bothering to leave a message, we probably din't need to talk anyway.
factual frog behavior is irrelevant to that analogy, but I appreciate new frog facts nonetheless
> I wished Apple would just add an option "Block all calls unless their number is in contacts".

They added it in iOS 13 under Settings, Phone, Silence Unknown Callers. "Calls from unknown numbers will be silenced, sent to voicemail, and displayed on the Recents list. Incoming calls will continue to ring from people in your contacts, recent outgoing calls, and Siri Suggestions."
Hmm cool :). Not the ultimate solution, but this sounds useful!

I was working on a system like this years ago. I called it choicelist, and submitted a paper to the FTC spam forum.

It was a user configurable white list solution in which an entity can specify all the ways they may contact you (numbers, addresses, and optionally signing or encryption public keys), and you can white list the organization as a whole.

Messages purporting to come from one of these organizations that fails the self specified check can be safely ignored.

At the time, blockchains didn't exist, and the missing piece of the puzzle was a distributed database not controlled by any central organization.

Without any particular rancour, this sort of thing is why the environmentalists keep experiencing a mysterious and conspiracy-like resistance to their plans. Their plans are ineffective and expensive.

France has cheaper, more technically excellent, safer and cleaner energy than Germany for military reasons. That is a massive egg on the face of the German environmentalists. And it turns out the people saying solar was very cheap were not being straightforward; although hopefully the march of research will prove them right in time.

My personal belief is that the people complaining about nuclear waste are struggling to tell which of two numbers is bigger - I'm happy to guess that waste from solar panels is more damaging due to the large scale they are produced at. Lead-acid battaries too.
