Encryption is math.

No it isn't. The algorithm is math, but the application is much more than that. It's design, ux, marketing, etc. Governments weren't calling for an end to encryption when PGP was the best most people had. The thing that changed is how easy it is now, and that lower barrier is what governments are fighting in a very ill-thought way.
Calculate the diameter of two small tunnels that can carry a lane of traffic vs one that can carry two lanes.

Single lane, 12 feet wide, 12 feet tall. Requires a tube 17 feet in diameter. Or 54.3 feet circumference. Two of those is then 108.6 feet.

A tube that can carry two lanes, 12X2 = 24 feet. Diameter is 26.8 feet or 84.3 ft circumference.
But our chief technical innovation was factoring problems into smaller ones. This is such a vital innovation that it's practically synonymous with engineering. So even superficially complex, organic-looking, highly optimized solutions will need to somehow factor nicely in order for us to be able to keep iterating on them. So in the end, it will have to just be a more clever or elegant factoring of the problem (unless we augment our intelligence in some way that lets us solve much more complex systems without factoring).
What I don't get is how someone can hate companies like Oracle, wish that they would disapeer out of the face of the earth, and at the same time jump of joy when a couple of lines get added to the Linux kernel, by the corporation they want to nuke.
OTOH, it's the point of having nation states to allow different prioritizations of values and different legal systems to coexist. It's the same reason the US is proud of being a federation of states.
If that's the case you could give them a pre-built copy of your containers (assuming your builds take a very long time this might be worth it).

There's two commands: `docker save` and `docker load`. It tars the history, layers, etc into a single file. You can further compress it for distribution. I've had a lot of luck with it.

Your client would then download your source, `docker load` your prebuilt copies to warm their cache, make their modifications, and further builds would be much faster.

They'd still pay that first penalty for pushing to their internal registry but that shouldn't take too long since that's essentially just a file copy.

That’s what the govs always try to imply. The reality is, the minimally sophisticated “bad guys” will still use encrypted means and now we can imagine who’s really affected by this condemnation.

That whole system rides on your last statement. Plus that Singaporeans are generally raised to respect others and the space around them.

Trying something like that in my own hometown, people would blast music from their phones because “hey bro we’re just having fun”, chow down and leave their garbage behind because “not my place so why should I care?”, and generally make a mess of everything.

Letting anyone in would be an absolute disaster in some places.
From an environmental POV electric cars will change almost nothing. The energy per passenger mile is still terrible as you still need to move, in the case of Tesla, at least 2500kg of material to move 1 person.

For meaningful energy savings the transportation model itself has to change. Here is one example for Hamburg, Germany, showing over 80% decrease in CO2 emission by shifting to public transport: http://www.mobilitaet-in-deutschland.de/pdf/infas_Vortrag_if... p.18)

Emissions reduction does not necessarily mean improved fuel efficiency. California's insistence on oxygenates, for example, limits some emissions while worsening others and overall reduces efficiency somewhat... and that's not even counting the environmental damage of MTBE.

Mostly time. For workloads that are pseudo interactive (e.g. continuous integration), you're saving developers a 10-20 minutes here or there. That can add up to be quite a bit for a medium to large organisation.
Thank you for this.

First up, have you had any issues with site banning or CAPTCHA?

After I saw your question I wanted to know so I just tried signing into my LinkedIn from https://hk.cloudbrowser.xyz and I'll share my experience.

And first they sent a code to my email because "something seemed suspicious":

https://imgur.com/gallery/2lflmjf

When I put in the code from my email I could sign in and it worked as usual.

I have noticed that everytime I land at https://bloomberg.com I get a CAPTCHA (1 only) and then I could read the site.

I opened a support ticket with BB but they said they don't need to do anything right now.

I felt OK with that. 1 CAPTCHA is not too bad.
Yes, that's true. However in my app this has never caused any problems. Apparently even if the compiler auto-vectorizes anything it does this only with scratch regs or in leaf procedures. I don't have any fp or simd code of myself.
It's cultural; cut and cover is more popular outside of the US. The Shanghai Metro (world's longest) is constructed using mostly cut and cover, and in the Anglosphere I remember seeing some of the Sydney metro being dug that way. One part of the Shanghai approach that I like is that they build their tunnels in advance of development, assuming that there will be demand in the future. This avoids a lot of cost and disruption, and I think it's a safe bet - of course the city's growth will follow the preemptive subway lines you built, that land has subway lines.

I wouldn't characterize cut and cover as a mild disruption to car traffic - it's a shorter duration of disruption than tunnel boring, but a block at a time will be completely shut down.

I would hazard the guess that, in this explanation, the author refers to syllables and not just a combination of letters.

The counter-examples you gave all end in syllables different from those mentioned by the author:

> Dark on Netflix

When I played this for the first time, it took me a while to figure out why their lips weren't agreeing with what they were saying. By default Netflix played the English dub for me instead of German audio with English subtitles.

The subject matter of Dark is good enough that I would watch it anyway, but if it's originally in German? Huge bonus. I have been watching it on German audio with "description" in German (so there's a narrator talking about things people are doing, describing their facial expressions, etc) and English subtitles. I wish there were more content like this available in the States.

I think there's a potential irony here in that the author would probably be fine with stoner teens wandering in, in that they'd more likely be kindred spirits in their railing against the evils of The System.

Stoner teens would grow up to be part of the author's target demographic.

Your analogy would be better if it was along the lines of a corporate boardroom-stalker trespassing their way into the author's home office, complaining about how cramped it is and that the view is worthless, but then still contemplating buying it up as an investment for the future.

The author's argument (and it takes a while for the article to get there) is much more systemically fundamental than "corporate trespass good", "personal trespass bad".
> Sure, there will be a coupling in the sense that they will live in the same VM, but that is abstractly similar to "our microservices all live in {AWS/GCP/K8s}", especially given the level of process isolation that the BEAM affords you.

I disagree that these are conceptually similar. If all my microservices are in a certain cloud, it does not imply that any important state is maintained in those services and not a database. It also does not require me to have my services in Erlang or whatever the actor model is written in. Actor supervision systems (in whatever language) are essentially narcisstic: they have to be in control over the state management lifecycle.

Actors fundamentally are of the philosophy where some state lives in the application, and it's mutated by these incoming messages. This is totally different from systems that scale, where any application "state" is just transient from a request or message in order to facilitate a mutation in a dedicated store outside of the app. There's many reliability benefits to that: language independence, being able to know the operational characteristics of state management don't change out from under you when you release a new version of code, ability to query state operationally without having to run map-reduce across code in your cluster (how fun would it be to write "get me the relevant state of my system" for a custom-written actor hierarchy instead of SQL?).
Hahah! That's awesome to hear you're writing it in the Cloud Browser on your iPhone!

But I'm really sorry about the scrolling. Sounds like it's unbearable. I need to fix that!

I added a "fast mode" for scrolling where if you scroll more than 40% of the screen in one go, it accelerates the amount, so you could try scrolling smaller, but I don't feel that's a satisfying solution for you. Scrolling is really important to get right, I'm very sorry about that!

> I really don't get this desire to outlaw cars.

That's not the point, it's that in this case the infrastructure cost to clean up cities is astronomical. Forgetting air pollution, noise pollution, deaths from traffic collisions, congestion - you also have to consider the shear infrastructural costs that _already_ go into maintaining road surfaces, traffic control, policing, etc. And that's without tunnel boring.

I think we just have to look at the practicality of private transport in cities.

Perhaps this is where public transportation can be innovated on.

Most likely - it's simply the march of progress. As horses were mostly outlawed/discouraged from cities, I suspect cars will be too.
We know from the violations of Bells inequality that we either need to give up locality (fast then light influence) or realism (that facts are objective and independent from the observer), or we have to accept that everything is super determistic and predetermined.
This experiment seems to hint on an absent of realism but it can still be one of the other options. You just have to decide which seem the least weird..

Unfortunately there is no other way to 'configure' a mass affluence society (where most people live in separate homes usually having ample plots). We don't have that awful level of car dependence in Europe, true - but we also force most people to live in apartment blocks similar to those which you can see only in slums in the U.S.
> Several big cities can be interconnected in a profitable way if NIMBYism changes.

It's not even NIMBYism. Consider the utter hate that California's high speed rail gets on HN despite very much no one being negatively effected by it. Then consider what a freeway does when it's run through a city.

So, this is strange. I've thought for a decade that the "pro" in "prosumer" came from "professional". I.e. they're people who want to buy industrial grade equipment for hobby use. I've never before seen it be used in a context where the root is obviously "producer" instead. But the Wikipedia article doesn't seem to even acknowledge the first definition.

I hate how people perceive unequal growth as a bad thing even when everyone benefits on an absolute scale. In particular, it's a completely ridiculous standard to apply to technology. The fact that Google can train a 12 billion parameter model does not make my 2 million parameter model any less effective. And when you're concerned with actually doing useful things to create value, that's all that matters.

I will not go into how completely detached from reality the rest of the comment is except to say there are approximately zero people who cannot learn ML because they don't have access to a GPU.

Indeed, that was my first thought when I saw the title, and since it's a very long read, I just ctrl+f "danger", which doesn't come up once.

When I was a kid, I went into abandoned houses, churches, private land, and on a few occasions I crawled into old etruscan tombs looking for interesting bits (bits of broken vases, coins and such).

It was very fun, and also very stupid, and I count myself lucky that nothing ever happened to me.

Given both the radical and reactionary positions surrounding the Mercator projection I doubt it was accidental downvoting.
Android Java is a subset of cherry picked features of Java and its standard library, with support varying across Android version.

GCC is an ISO C++ and ISO C compliant compiler, plus a set of language extensions.

Any ISO C++ or ISO C code will compile under GCC.

Not every piece of standard compliant Java code will compile under Android Java.

Not only this produces a burden writting portable Java libraries, it creates a false perception to many developers that learned Java via Android and assume Android Java == Java.

The later point is usually used by Google when they sell how Kotlin fares against Java, because naturally if they would compare it against a proper up to date version, some of the plus points wouldn't uphold.
A process is simply a function that runs independent of other functions in the system + a mailbox + a handle + own memory.

So the convenient Syntax to define a process is a function declaration. Plus, calling "spawn" to start the process.

Of course, as other responders pointed out, there is also OTP, an established framework (not syntax) to define processes with predefined, battle-tested behaviours.
Thats really good feedback, thank you for your time on this.

Also, that's terrible! I'm so sorry for you that you had that experience today. You must feel pretty angry to sit through 15 CAPTCHAs!

I have to solve the CAPTCHA problem. I'm sorry I can't explain why this happens or how the CAPTCHA system works. I don't know anything about it.

I'm OKAY with the occasional CAPTCHA, but I'm not satisfied that people are getting hit like this.

I've been told that VPNs have a solution to this (since they need to deal with their clients getting faced with CAPTCHAs as well) but I'm sorry I have not reached out to any VPNs yet about this because, last time this problem occurred[0], after an hour or two I checked and it stopped happening, and there were no more CAPTCHAs. So last time I did not have to change the default search provider to DDG.

I'll send an email to NordVPN now and ask them if they have any idea what I can do.

> something that only works if you’re the only one doing it.

Tangential, but I wonder if there's a name for this, and how much it has been studied. While I appreciate the wisdom behind Kant's categorical imperative, there are many activities in the world that lose all meaning and authenticity if you're not the only one, or one of the few, engaging in them. The current zeitgeist seems hell-bent on normalizing and averaging everything out, but assuming something is bad just because not everyone can do it seems to me like a recipe for a duller society.

> If a bunch of people start doing it then all of a sudden guests start noticing crowds of people outside their rooms, the hotel is obliged to post security guards to stop it happening, and bingo, suddenly life is slightly worse for everyone.

I think the problem here is the hotel choosing an obnoxious way of stopping it from happening. I think it should not be generalized into "if too many people do something, doing it will become impossible, which is bad", because arguably nobody doing it is even worse. It's like with non-renewable resources - yes, exploiting them now makes them inaccessible in the future, but not exploiting them ever is as if they didn't exist; the only utility there is is in the exploitation.

I wouldn't really call APL/J/K "lost" (or "dead", or "useless", or...). There's an active community on Reddit and there's a pretty active circle of APL'ers on Twitter. It wasn't ever a super mainstream language, but it's definitely not lost its appeal -- maybe even as a fun hobbyists' language.
It is weird. At first I thought she meant the same, and was going to say that calling yourself a pro consumer is silly if you aren't paying money. Dictionary built into Bing (accessed via Cortana) gave me the same definition you had. I'm not sure if the Wikipedia article is particularly good or up to date; it uses the term Web 2.0 seriously.
"Coffee houses gave men somewhere to congregate other than in homes, mosques or markets, providing a place for them to socialise, exchange information, entertain – and be educated. Literate members of society read aloud the news of the day; janissaries, members of an elite cadre of Ottoman troops, planned acts of protest against the Sultan"

This feels like blaming coffee for people socializing (in todays world this would mean social networking websites, where people hang out). Its sort of saying (in hypothetical world) Twitter lead to downfall of China.
Which I think is debatable.
What if the energy comes from solar? Then the energy consumption does not matter that much. Also, even a tesla is not 2500kg and many people with family rarely drive with a single occupant.

Also, have you looked at the energy consumption of light or suburban rail? It might look somewhat attractive if you assume that the rail cars are packed, but in reality where they often drive almost empty at night and during off hours, the numbers are actually pretty bad.

Electric buses are much better, but even they have the huge downside that they run according to a schedule, don't go where you want to go, and offer no privacy.
Regarding your fun fact: Same in parts of Switzerland where Swiss German is spoken. Swiss German is a variant of High Allemannic (with some exceptions where Highest Allemannic is spoken). We perceive German as a foreign language that is learned in school and most people are pretty bad at pronunciation (and sometimes at grammar, since some of the tenses and cases are missing in Swiss German.
That is a "feature" of ReCAPTCHA, and I believe there might even be a patent on it. The idea is that if you are sure it's a bot and want to deny them access you still waste their resources by making them solve impossible captchas.
I have been looking for photogrammetry based 3D modeling software. Most existing photogrammetry solutions produce a point cloud, which usually does not result in nice geometry. Often, we as humans know that a certain object as a certain geometry. Adding that knowledge could result in much more accurate models. This type of software should be interactive, using human input to recalculate the 3D positions of certain points. It would be nice if this could be integrated with an existing 3D modeling package, such as Blender.
