'California’s illegal market prices are equivalent to legal prices in Colorado.'

That's absurd!

What basis are you supporting this on? I just went back home to SoCal in the Summer and I bought 2 pre-rolled joints of high end CBD dominant strains for $6/each in Downtown LA before a show. Which is a really good price.

I live in Boulder and a single pre-roll of whatever will cost you about the same if not more as CBD has been put on everything to make it more expensive here. So anything that has a higher number than 0% of CBD will command a higher price.

The truth is, once you're in the Industry paying for weed itself becomes absurd as you get to know too many growers (pros and amateurs alike) who just want you to experience their harvest and are too happy to just give it to you, in addition to growing your own you may exchange for fun.

Your statement is an outright lie, though; yes, CO MJ Industry already went through its saturation period, and prices have adjusted, but the taxes are upwards of 50% for the Dispensary owners and that is reflected in the price.

Personally speaking: I honestly thought more people would have gotten their hands dirty and grown with the advent of legal recreational in both states, but most who do use seldom do. Its odd dilemma, I was never a stoner so growing it was always the most fun of the entire process.

Source: I live and work in Colorado, and I was in Fintech within the Industrial Hemp Industry for the past 4 years. But I grew up in SoCal all of my Life, where weed was always more accessible than alcohol or cigarettes.

This is not correct. Per the DAC literature I've seen, the fully burdened energy cost to capture a ton of CO2 is around 12 MWh. The numbers you provided appear to violate the laws of thermodynamics on their face, whereas the 12 MWh number does not.

The 250kWh number likely only accounts for the operational energy requirements, not the fully burdened energy requirements of creating the consumable inputs.
I should hope not. Chronic stress and PTSD do have shared symptoms with ADHD, but do not cause it. ADHD is genetic and neurodevelopmental in origin. Functioning and symptoms do vary with stress though.

Of interest though is that the causality does run the other direction, with those who have ADHD at a higher risk of incidence for psychosocial trauma and development of PTSD subsequent to traumatic events.

Keep in mind that the Netflix and Amazon prime apps on the TV work fine. Even the Plex app works well. Just the Hulu app that stinks. I don't disagree that it's likely a tough platform to develop for (and having a htpc is super useful still) but it's really just the Hulu app that is unusable.

All this does is ensure only mediocre people are hired. What you described is how you might hire for McDonald’s, not a high growth company that is building something massive/valuable.

Hmm. I don't have an examined opinion on this, outside of general hesitation to go looking for problems for reasons such as confirmation bias and whatever the name is for what self-fulfilling-prophecies looks like this in kind of situation. Well, and maybe that if you're looking for justification you've already messed up. Just because you can somehow find a consolation prize doesn't mean you should have done something in the first pace.

> Except that you load code from multiple sources and one could eventually have a piece of JavaScript code that makes use of such behaviour to have access to some feature that by default is not accessible.

With all due respect, that doesn't make WebAssembly unsafe in any way.

By the same logic, any program that takes any kind of user input is unsafe because the program could trust data it should not trust and then execute incorrectly.

If a program does not validate (untrusted) input then it is the program's fault. Not the input's fault or the input-producing-method's fault.

I agree with where you're coming from though. People are going to make mistakes and if the average developer has to interpret blobs of bits as meaningful data structures just to get things done, then we are going to see a lot of these types of problems. However, there are already projects in the works that are automating the $LANGUAGE to Wasm glue code which should completely mitigate this issue.

There are probably examples (I can think of mentorship), but that would not be common.

On "strategic long term decisions", I think this needs clarification. There are many areas in which such decisions can be made.

To give an example, think of a flying airplane. Would you give a power to make "strategic long term decisions" regarding the flight to someone who bothered to go to flight school, ground school and had been certified as a pilot? Or to someone who hadn't done it, but is an excellent politician, people's manager and could mediate conflict well?

To give another example, if a conflict between passengers and crew had happened onboard of a flying airplane. Would you prefer a pilot (say, with no political or mediation skills) to stop flying the airplane and engage into the conflict? Or would you prefer a professional people's manager and mediator to step in?

This phenomenon cannot be avoided as long as papers can help kids go to universities.

Maybe we can prevent parents from buying papers for their kids (this can be charged based on evidence more easily). But when the parents themselves are professors, it is just difficult to determine whether the credits are assigned appropriately.

Skills that can be accessed and learnt by the majority should be the criteria for university admission.
What comes after is the interesting part. Because that's where the attacker will try to gain access to production and the clock for response and blue team for detection and eviction starts ticking.

Assume Breach mindset that Microsoft developed for instance - in case you are intersted to learn more. There is an entire domain/world of security engineering that starts when the initial compromise has happened. And it does/should not mean the adversary won, just because they have code execution on one host.
I don’t believe ssh multiplexing talks to the ssh agent. That’s the whole point, really. You just connect through an already authorized ssh connection. This eliminates the initial key handshake stuff at the beginning and makes subsequent ssh and scp connections really fast.

If I’m correct, your mitigation doesn’t affect this particular kind of attack.
Actually, that's not accurate in this case.

If you inform me, then hand me a pre-printed document with a huge set of conditions on it, or worse as another response notes, simply collect my signature, it's not that I'm not enformed. It's that I'm not empowered to act on the basis of that information in any meaningful way.

It's a sham.

I'm a fan of the power of etymologies to reveal if not necessarily the present meanings of words, the paths by which they've arrived to the present. In the case of consent:

c. 1300, "agree, give assent; yield when one has the right, power, or will to oppose," from Old French consentir "agree; comply" (12c.) and directly from Latin consentire "agree, accord," literally "feel together," from assimilated form of com "with, together" (see con-) + sentire "to feel" (see sense (n.)).

It's not even an unusual condition. At Dropbox, starting some time in either 2018 or 2019 we had to install a remote administration app on our devices if we wanted to connect to corp vpn or to log into corporate google accounts. Mostly so that the device could be wiped if it was lost, IIRC.

The charge controller doesn't allow simultaneous charge and discharge. It might allow simultaneous charge and power. The concern is, if your power pack does let you power devices while charging the battery, it's passing the power straight through from the wall, not via the battery. Is it also passing the data lines straight through? Not sure, you'd have to check the schematics. Here's an example... a great board, I own one, but I have no idea if the data lines are isolated: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2465

The Google policy probably applies to personal devices used in BYOD work settings.

Lots of people at tech companies use personal devices for work. This includes things like having your work calendar, email, or corporate applications on your personal phone. In my company's case there is some kind of enterprise iOS policy that gets installed as part of onboarding a device to access company systems. This has the ability to enforce a password policy, monitor installed software and software versions, to lock out devices that are running known vulnerable apps or iOS versions, as well as the technical ability to remotely wipe the entire device (never heard of that being exercised). Company data resides on the device (via email, documents, and other means) so it's reasonable for them to want to have some oversight. An attacker could attempt to get into company systems via the device, after all, since it has (some limited) access to my corporate account.

I use my personal phone for work because it's extremely handy to have work email and calendar on my phone, and I don't want to carry two phones.

This looks like it's going to be a really big deal unless they totally fuck it up. Autodiff greatly simplifies all kinds of continuous mathematical optimization algorithms, and using mathematical optimization means you only have to write code that can recognize things that look similar to a solution instead of code that can find the solution — in a sense, mathematical optimization derives your code from tests.

Autodiff is useful for other kinds of things too, not just mathematical optimization, as they mention in the manifesto. This weekend I wrote a real-time SDF raymarcher in a page of Lua (https://gitlab.com/kragen/bubbleos/blob/master/yeso/sdf.png https://gitlab.com/kragen/bubbleos/blob/master/yeso/sdf.lua), but the surface shading is pretty lame because without sampling the SDF multiple times it doesn't yet have any way to calculate surface normals. Guess what a surface normal is? It's the gradient of the SDF, and reverse-mode autodiff can sample the SDF and its gradient in only double the time of just sampling the SDF.

Pretty much anything you do in continuous domains can get simpler and/or better-performing with autodiff. This is why I've written so much about it in Dercuano.

It's worth pointing out that you don't need to redesign your language to get first-class differentiable programming. Source-to-source transformation has been used to do autodiff in FORTRAN for at least ten years, including on pretty massive applications. (This is mentioned in the manifesto.)

So I do not believe that ESPN or Hulu have the scale numbers of Netflix. Also in the case of ESPN when they do a live stream at scale the method used is much different setup then video on demand. For example, in a live stream because everyone is watching the same thing you can use multicast replication to your edge pop which dramatically lowers BW and overhead. It would be great if it worked to the end user but ISPs are not setup to handle it.

Just checked the numbers: Netflix ~700M, Hulu ~28M, ESPN depending on the source ~6M.

git config --global commit.gpgsign true

this turns commit signing on for every commit, you don't have to explicitly sign commits as a separate step.

the criticism I've always heard of this practice is, what do you do with those signatures? github displays a little widget showing that the commits are signed, but beyond that I don't think it cares which public key they were signed with, so it's not really helping anything.

Doesn’t matter. We turn mediocre generalists into skilled specialists with niche knowledge of different domains within a year. And because the things we teach them don’t have much application outside the company they are very loyal.

Talented people with social activism fantasies are overrated. They can’t always be trusted to simply do what you tell them. They think their talents give them leverage, and that if they see anything they deem improper, they have a responsibility to resist it.
Actually, the bigger issue is Banking.

If most businesses had to deal with the myriad of weekly/monthly legal changes and expenses that those grower/dispensary owners do most would just pack it up and exit, add to that they have no real choice in banking and remain largely a cash based business.

The thing is, as we have seen with Canada, even if it is legalized at the Federal Level access to banking will still not be a sure thing. Most dispensaries still cannot have normal bank accounts to pay vendors/staff/bills etc... this kills their productivity.

Honestly, their is no cure-all to it, unless you see a massive resurgence in community based gardens specifically for cannabis, which would be my personal ideal situation.

But, Career politicians backed it despite having a very good Medical system in place, in order to get as much tax revenue from what was otherwise an illegally sourced substance.

If anything, I think they'll continue to tax more as they will have to pay for 'task forces' to monitor and stomp out these 'illegal' grows. Businesses will have to continue to add Value Added services to compensate for the added expenses and you'll have am eventual race to the bottom and consolidation (like in Colorado) of Market Share from a handful of players/cartel which may fall into the hands of a Phillip Morris type conglomerate--think juul vape.

CA had proposed a novel system in place that would, on paper anyhow, protect the Mom and Pop shops; but the taxes and regulatory framework and legal landscape is not hospitable to a small business venture unless you have substantial financial backing anymore.

I was against recreational being legalized for that reason in CA, and I preferred it stay Medical only. It wasn't a perfect system, but it allowed for competition with existing and mature legal framework enabled by the Compassion Act in 1996. The only thing it seemed to offer was some degree of protection from the DEA raiding a legal and compliant business, but I'm doubting this may be the case anymore as these task forces will need something to do to justify their existence.

No. There are two different things, Secure Boot (which prevents the device from running unsigned software) and Trusted Boot (where the device can run anything but can prove to a remote party that it's running a specific software).

Because this would only leak private keys inside the device, you can only attack Trusted Boot (where producing trusted signatures is important), not Secure Boot (which only verifies signatures that were produced elsewhere).
