It wouldn't need to work that way. If a law was past mandating that in 5 years paying ransoms would be illegal then companies would be forced to either invest or be held liable after that grace period.

Of course there could be an exception process that involves contacting LE first, paying the ransom, being fined and audited, and having to disclose a report online and in front of the entrances of the when, why, and how this occurred. Paying the ransom w/o going through this process could (maybe?) be treated as conspiring with the attacker (& since the identities of the attackers are almost always 100% unknown, some could legitimately have inside contacts anyway).
The big difference between the two is that Either/Result are trivial to compose and otherwise deal with in higher-order functions. Java has a massive problem whereby any API that invokes a callback has to either require that said callback not throw anything outside of a given short list of exceptions; or else declare both itself and the callback as "throws Exception", and force the API caller to deal with that - even though the specific callback that caller is passing in might not be throwing anything, or might be throwing a very specific exception only.

I'm not overly familiar with American police, but at least in Australia and New Zealand, the police are poorly equipped and resourced for dealing with financial crimes and other "information" crimes, they're heavily biased towards solving violent and property crimes. They deal primarily with physical evidence.
> Airlines will have serious reason to consider other manufacturers if they can’t just throw pilots behind the stick with minimal training.

Hopefully the regulators will seriously investigate if it is safe to assume that the retraining is not needed even with modified MCAS.

Just claiming that pilots will easier deactivate MCAS, or that, after the "fix", MCAS will deactivate itself if there is some problem should not be enough: without MCAS running the plane just doesn't behave as the one for which the pilots were trained.
3% is a solid dystopian show - it's clearly got a lower budget for CG but it tends to use practical effects when possible and the CG doesn't terribly detract. It's also nice to see a Brazilian show get an international audience.

I moved out the year before it was scrapped, but I am not so sure it was because of homeless people. When I lived in Seattle I had literally 0 bad encounters with homeless people on buses. [Definitely nonzero on the sidewalks]

The worst part in my view about the free ride zone was when you would take a bus from downtown to outside the zone. You'd need to pay when you left. Which was hard to enforce, so I think a lot of people walked off. Even if you wanted to play it right, you needed to remember when to pay and when not. I remember hearing from drivers that they didn't care if you pay anyway.

Of course in recent years in towns like Seattle or SF there is always somebody trying to say that the homeless are responsible for the downfall of everything.

And hence the reason they are wanting to build a working prototype.

They have a conceptual model that needs to be tested.
I was imagining just to myself whether the jobs or economic impact of this production suspension by Boeing would be similar or not even close to the disruption caused by the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 fiasco.

In this case, the jobs are much higher value per person, and the supply chain much more dramatic -- big factories and machinery idled. But the Samsung battery disaster probably affected 10s of thousands of workers, and caused Samsung a reported $15B (?) writedown of value.

But then thinking again, Boeing has experience with bad batteries too... Maybe the two companies should share PR disaster recovery playbooks.

Jaynes' ideas are facially wacky it's true, but they're still extremely interesting. I recommend anyone who is curious about the human condition to read The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. I'm not saying he gets everything (or even anything) right, but it's indisputably a really fascinating thesis.

And let's bear in mind that plenty of other obviously absurd theories actually hold up really well, relativity and quantum electrodynamics being two of the obvious big ones. Obviously the science of human consciousness is much more intractable, but even so.

Idk, human neural networks seem to be susceptible to all sorts of adversarial attacks.

Snow-crash is the first example I know of, of the attack being condensed to a bitmap and experienced solely through the optic nerve and subsequently and substantially condensed in the time domain.

Typically the sort of results of an adversarial attack against a human neural network similar to one described in snowcrash is more indicative of long term and repeated exposure to adversarial stimulus that usually starts at birth and last through sometimes as late as adulthood. Snowcrash condenses this effect and that’s whats striking and interesting.

To elaborate, the sort of adversarial attack’s I’m thinking of, are: indoctrination; gaslighting; cycles of abuse (a very nasty one that can go on for generations!); just about anything in the cia psy-ops manual, oh and I shouldn’t leave off entrapment (that’s a fun one).

"Soylent" is an actual liquid food product. Wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting, name gave me a chuckle.
True, but it was just the Snow Crash like ones that I had in mind. There are also adversarial attacks possible on all the other senses once you understand how they work at a physical or pre-processing level. You can make something cold feel hot, trigger speech patterns to go off by pre-setting them with auditory patterns, cause people to hear sounds that aren't there and so on. Given how many of these pathways are buggy it is quite impressive how well the brain can make sense of its surroundings. Mimicry in the animal kingdom is another 'adversarial input' that has potentially damaging effects on the perceivers (hunger!) but it is very much a defensive mechanism so that probably should not count either.
In theory you can get a certificate for anything that vaguely resembles X.500 directory object. Whether some CA will sign such certificate and whether it is accepted by clients is different issue.
> We should stop people hanging out in their cars and congesting our public roads!

And indeed, we should work on that too. Road pricing is a thing, after all - and it's finally becoming somewhat popular in congestion-prone city downtowns. Free public transit will help this, by providing a clear alternative to private vehicle use.

Interesting, didn't know HBO was going to be doing online only shows now like Netflix, Apple and Amazon.

Snowcrash is the book that inspired Philip to create Second Life. Then he moved on to create High Fidelity, but they are now pivoting more for virtual meetings and business use it looks. One thing I kinda don't like about the new virtual worlds, they are disconnected spaces while Second Life tried to have a sense of continued space, but never seemed to get as popular as Facebook and a region can't hold more than 100 avatars at once but even 50 is a limit in some places.

I feel SL was early for it's time though, they started working on it in the late 90s and opened in 2003. High Fidelity seemed more focus on HMDs then keyboard and mouse but I feel that is still a bit early too but it's an interesting space. I have some ideas on my own too I've been thinking about exploring, but still a lot to learn and then getting funding at some point when a more solid plan.

I support any network taking on more Sci Fi. I'd give almost anything to see a proper Foundation series done by HBO. Or culture series, or a Dune series, or you name it. Imagine a gritty interpretation of Fire Upon The Deep done by Christopher Nolan. There's not nearly enough Sci Fi movies.
I'm not sure how this ended up being about wealth taxes. If you get RSU pre IPO, you have to pay regular tax on the value at IPO time.

So, if you get a billion dollar in RSU, then you pay a couple hundred million in tax at time of IPO. Hence, unless you are already rich, you need to sell stock just to cover the taxes.

I'm not sure what kind of stock Uber issues and what kind a founder would have gotten (e.g options, RSU,...)

> If the Max doesn't return to service or even if its grounding is prolonged this represents an existential threat to the likes of Southwest as part of the way they maintain their low margins is by having a fleet with one and only one type rating.

The 737 MAX has the same rating as every 737 that Southwest and others fly. Part of the MCAS controversy stems from the fact that Boeing did not discuss it to avoid needing a new type rating. See https://www.aviationlawmonitor.com/2019/03/accident-investig... for more information.

Infinite Jest is proof the Great American Hype Machine can work wonders

Funnily enough I think DFW would agree, in an interview somewhere (I think it was in Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself) he talks about the surreal experience of seeing all the hype and raves about his book immediately after release, when he knew no one had actually had time to read it.
You're right, that information is captured by the median weekly inflation-adjusted earnings for wage and salary workers, which is actually at historic highs.

While Snow Crash is one of the all time great sci fi novels, it famously has a huge plot hole: although Stephenson saw a lot of things about the future with remarkable accuracy, he did not foresee the ubiquity of the cell phone. A simple cell phone would have undercut the main plot.

What about "ethical meat"?

Are there any flagship models that still have phone jack and an sdcard?

Supposedly there's so many Android phones but all are removing things. You can get phones with these, but then their support doesn't last long and generally no one cares about maintaining a replacement OS like Lineage OS.

My ideal phone would have:

- size that does fit in a hand

- phone jack

- sdcard

- hardware keyboard

- ir blaster

- stereo speakers that actually face the user

- work with frequencies of my cell provider

- easy to root

- good battery life

- easy to open and fix

- recent hardware (I rarely play games but want it to be responsive)

But since then I started giving up on some features though those 3 are still important to me.

It's impossible to find one that has all of those things now, the only phones that I owned and really like and were very close to ideal were Motorola Droid 1, and HTC One M8 and it feels like it only goes downhill.
One of the biggest things that keeps me using IPv4 is that I can memorize all the IPv4 addresses for most of my servers. That alone is a huge mental hurdle.

> Git model is simple.

I strongly disagree.

Let's list just basic git concepts that you're likely to encounter fairly early on: the working tree, staged commits, branches, remotes, stashes, detached heads, tags, submodules, merge conflicts, squashed commits, fast-forwards, rebasing, cherry-picking.

Some of these you could choose to ignore - rebasing and submodules - but on the whole you need at least a cursory understanding of everything on that list to get by without a git angel to get you out of trouble. I still have a person I phone when anything out of the ordinary happens and I've taught git to other people!
We just don't yet know enough about the low-level workings of the brain.

Interestingly, here in Melbourne we have a similar system when it comes to paying fares. It's not the bus/train/tram drivers responsibility to ensure you pay your fare, you can walk onto a bus without tagging on and the driver won't even blink, it's the job of roaming ticket inspectors to enforce fare payment.

In my experience, we don't have a particularly significant problem with homeless people and other "undesirables" on public transport. It probably helps that they have police patrols at most train stations at night.

I once read a piece of text whose contents was so vividly horrific that it caused me to momentarily pass out, falling out of my chair. Granted, it passed through an intermediate representation in my brain, but I would still count it as an adversarial input to my vision that caused lasting damage.

The damage in Snow Crash just happened to be more severe than "short-term distress followed by periodic unsettlement".
Easyjet used to have 737-200/300/700s, but they were completely phased out several years ago.

Now their fleet is entirely Airbus A32x, which are fly-by-wire and unlikely to run into the type certification issues that the 737 did.
Thanks for helping me think on this.

Background: I personally feel that dealing with our collective failings is a collective burden. Your shitty situation is you getting the short straw in the lottery of who feels that collective failing more acutely.

It's disappointing to hear people conspire on engineering situations so that people like themselves simply don't notice/feel the failing personally, rather than hearing them spend energy working through a more complex resolution of the broader failing.

A don't think anyone's saying you're a bad person. But it maybe sucks to hear that you feel it's been shoved onto you alone (which is prob true), and then that others are rallying behind your shoving it elsewhere out of sight.

I had the same reaction. I first read "Snow Crash" and "Brave New World" around the same time (circa-2000), and was happy that both missed the mark. Looking back at them now I feel like the modern world has become a blend of the worst parts of both.
