"If we substitute the word indifference for the word liberty, we shall come much closer to the real intention that lies behind the classic argument. Liberty is to be permitted where differences are of no great moment. It is this definition which has generally guided practice. In times when men feel themselves secure, heresy is cultivated as the spice of life. During a war liberty disappears as the as the community feels itself menaced. When revolution seems to be contagious, heresy-hunting is a respectable occupation. In other words, when men are not afraid, they are not afraid of ideas; when they are much afraid, they are afraid of anything that seems, or can even be made to appear, seditious. That is why nine tenths of the effort to live and let live consists in proving that the thing we wish to have tolerated is really a matter of indifference."

EDIT: Wow, the entire article is full of gems like this. Most lucid writing I've ever read in the Atlantic.

"But in public affairs the stake is infinitely greater. It involves the lives of millions, and the fortune of everybody. The jury is the whole community, not even the qualified voters alone. The jury is everybody who creates public sentiment—chattering gossips, unscrupulous liars, congenital liars, feeble-minded people, prostitute minds, corrupting agents... If I lie in a lawsuit involving the fate of my neighbor’s cow, I can go to jail. But if I lie to a million readers in a matter involving war and peace, I can lie my head off, and, if I choose the right series of lies, be entirely irresponsible."

The link doesn't directly go to Guido's post. I'll quote it here for reference:

> I have thought about this some more. I appreciate the thought (@thomas, @pf_moore) that you’d like me to be on the SC for a while longer. But it seems to me we have many excellent candidates, and after a brief discussion with the current incumbents I have decided to withdraw.

>

> Part of my reason is that in the end, SC duty feels more like a chore to me than fun, and one of the things I’m trying to accomplish in my life post Dropbox retirement is to have more fun. To me, fun includes programming in and contributing to Python, for example the PEG parser project. But I don’t see participating in the SC as fun. (This is true for all SC members, I imagine, and an important duty it is! It’s just that I’ve done enough duty for Python in the past 30 years, and I want to focus more on having fun.)

>

> I will still be around though! I will be reading and answering mail, sometimes reviewing PRs and participating in issues and discussions on python-ideas, python-dev, or discuss.python.org (and even Zulip and Twitter). If the new SC asks me to act as BDFL-Delegate for a PEP I’ll consider it, and if they have other questions for me I’ll try to answer them. I’ll just not be acting as an official member of the Steering Council.

This happened to a relative of mine.

He was thrown in jail on a rape charge. Fought in court, and won his freedom. Then he received a bill for having been in jail.

Making it worse, this was at a private prison, and the sheriff who put him in jail was on the board of directors for the prison. Can you spell "conflict of interest"?
Cloud custodian is maintained by the community, capitalone has not had any maintainers on staff for around a year, though they still use and occasionally contribute prs.

Just came back from Turkey and have to agree. The new airport is excellent and they are currently building a new metro to/from airport. I was surprised at how well run some of the government services are. Just wish more people spoke English.
> > At that point, the attacker can pose as the router and collect the password hash.

Correct.

Please explain how.

> It is also pretty clear from your reply that you're attempting to muddy the waters by conflating the PTK with the PSK or any other "password."

The PMK is part of the PTK hash. When using a PSK the PSK = the PMK. Not much to conflate, the PTK is a hash of the password with other variables. Exactly as I explained.

> in order to derive it you need additional information which you need to attack

I already explained how the rest of the information needed to derive the PTK is sent in the handshake frames.

> Your post reads like...

Please stick to talking about WiFi authentication.

> Plus is "collect the password hash" really a hill worth dying on for WiFi Auth?

Prior to WPA3, yes - as explained already.

> So it is "incorrect" because I simplified it rather than describing the process in intricate technical detail?

It was incorrect because the password isn't used as a PSK so cracking the PTK gets you a nonce instead of the user password.

> And you won't point out why it was "incorrect" because it is too technically difficult..?

Given we are still trying to agree how the 4 way handshake works and what parts get hashed in it, yes - it is.

I think Karl Popper ("The Open Society and its Enemies") puts it best: a democracy is not defined by how the governed elect our leaders, but how they get rid of them. Popper came to this idea when looking at Hitler's Germany. Hitler came to power through elections and then used the existing laws to become absolute dictator. But clearly his government was not a Democracy, so clearly the fact that elections had been held did not define a democracy.

Wow I wish every major technical project from that early preinternet era had such a thorough and well documented archival website.

Multics was supposed to be the future of operating systems. But it was tied to rather specialized hardware, and when that hardware went away, so did Multics.

One of the last Multics systems was DOCKMASTER, at NSA. Stayed up until 1998. That was their public-facing machine in the early days of the Internet. Only thing they felt was secure enough for even unclassified email and document access.[1]

Venture capitalism is capitalism. The goal of a capitalist business is to deliver profits to the investors, and YC succeeds under that model.

The alternatives are businesses owned by the other stakeholders - workers, consumers, or community/state. Or some mix of the above, there are problems with each individually.
What you say makes sense, but is also pretty clearly sub-optimal, economically, for most people. Which is also totally fine! A utilitarian would say you're just paying for that feeling of ownership and derive most of the value of owning from that.

Everyone feels that way about something.

An anecdote: All the exceptionally talented engineers that I know already left the country (That is like 5 of my friends) and found very lucrative jobs on various European countries. Not only that but not so exceptionally talented engineers that I know also managed to leave the country.

Each week I tend to get so many messages on LinkedIn from engineers in Turkey that want to leave the country...

Funny thing is some of these engineers were actually very nationalistic but even they couldn’t take how the ruling party and Erdogan governs Turkey.

So yeah, personally I wouldn’t bet much money on engineers that are currently staying in Turkey.

Sure the quant funds make money, a few people do well, lots of engineers make 500k. Places like Pimco, Goldman, Baupost Group, Fidelity, etc. the traditional finance firms work differently. For example, the bond market which is massive compared to equities, was rigged like 30 years ago by Goldman and Pimco to stop computerized trading of corporate bonds. What this did was keep the bond trading in the hands of a few firms, the tops of whom all pay themselves 10-50 million a year.

Equities is being run over by ETFs, none of these funds have that much alpha, HFT was just some stupid inefficiency firms realized that could do in like 2008, by 2019, HFT is barely profitable. Whenever these firms make money from fast trading, what they are really doing is stealing money from pension funds and peoples 401ks. Clipping and front running trades shaves a little from the price and puts it into the pocket of some "genius" at Two Sigma. You can shout all you want about how intelligent these people are, but the whole thing is crooked. Secondly, watch how fast these places go out of business when the market tanks. Massive bull runs and "prestige" have these guys claiming to be kings of the world, but really, the financial industry is about raising a ton of investment money and figuring out how these fund managers can siphon it off into their own pockets. Which is why ETFs are so popular now.

When Two Sigma starts making too much money, the sec starts knocking on their door. Because its obvious theyre exploiting the market and extracting wealth. So they dial it back, and keep just some. This kind of thing is never talked about in public, but it happens all the time. Constant negotiation between which trades are ethical between computerized traders and the US government. All that 50 Billion in wealth really came from Goldman. Go look on linkedin, all the top people there jump between TS and Goldman.

I could go on and on about the scam of quant, I know the industry intimately.
A party of the right nationalising a business, considering it, talking openly about it. It was the UK Conservative party who nationalised Rolls Royce, almost immediately sold off cars, and kept Aero Engines a while. Otherwise they'd no longer exist as the RB211 engine had broken them.

Larger government. State ownership does not guarantee incompetent or inefficient. The right used to believe in many of the things that have become unthinkable. The Tories also wanted to improve services, built social housing, added libraries and social care. Pre war UK used to permit the various cities around the UK to form municipal corporations. They were used for power generation, water, rail and tramways among other things, and mostly worked very well indeed -- with the city getting service and income, but being quite hands off from the modern perception of centralised control. See also the various towns and cities that have put in their own broadband, far better than the private sector offer, in more recent years...

Clean Air Act UK was brought in by the Conservatives in 1956. The right used to be much more amenable to environmental and health regulation. Well regulation in general. Now they avoid, neuter and talk down regulation, and slim down the bodies who once oversaw said regulation.

Specific, I think, to the UK, the astonishing degree of centralisation brought in since 1974. Nearly all of it under the Tories. Yet Labour is perceived as the party of state control. Neither party talks of giving real power back to the regions and cities, they both mostly talk against it.

There's other examples on the left, and probably similar examples the other side of the Atlantic.

When recording audio, it is necessary to filter our frequencies above Nyquist frequency to prevent aliasing. It is easier to make a good filter when you have Nyquist freq. at 48 kHz rather than try to implement a filter that can silence everything above 24 kHz and doesn't touch anything below 20 kHz. Or am I wrong here?
One advantage I can imagine would be that it's safer for exiting drivers. They are partially blocked by the vehicle next to them. It also eliminates the cyclist "door zone".
- HiDPI support in desktops

Open source makes it hard. Too many choices. Apple and Microsoft have an army and can decide an API from the top down and have an organization put resources into making a consistent experience. Windows 10 and macOS have absolutely beautiful scaling.

On Linux, fractional scaling crashes often. Wayland and Xorg having to handle it separately adds further fragmentation.

PopOS is nice: https://system76.com/pop.

- Mail clients with streamlined UI's:

Geary is as close as you can get to Airmail (macOS) and Mailbird (Windows)

- Window snapping:

Aero snap in Windows, Magnet in macOS. Gnome doesn't want to do quarter scaling, despite it being a common sense request, and the extensions don't like gTile don't use the same behavior at all - so basically it doesn't exist.

(Correction, Gnome seems open to doing it but needs help? https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/b7f3rl/any_future_pl...)

On the other hand, Linux has amazing:

- PDF readers. Every desktop environment seems to have its own PDF reader that does a better job than any proprietary one. Okular, evince, mupdf, xpdf. Any they're lite. Zero bloat.

- Package management. Every distros package management experience and their stock beats any app store. They don't force you to login.

- Terminals. Kitty is fantastic (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/)

- Input: ibus and fcitx

- Access / Installing shared libraries and headers. No need to download xcode or grab Visual C++

- Not open source, but Spotify, Chrome, Slack, Firefox, Steam all work good

That's just one way to look at it.

Another point of view is that elections are way to make people believe they are represented and therefore won't fight a state that maintains the monopoly of force, which can impose taxation, arbitrary laws, and a lot of other attacks to individual freedoms that people wouldn't be keen to accept naturally.

>The closest economies to real socialism are the high-taxation, high-spending Scandinavian social democracies, which score higher than the US on educational attainment, business opportunity, life-expectancy, and educational attainment - but don't do nearly as well at generating billionaires.

Close, but I would say that socialists don't see it as close enough. Sweden holds a strong form of liberal egalitarianism, as propounded by Rawls in his less 'socialist' writings. But even then, the socialism is beyond its horizon. There is a 'property-owning democracy', and no egalitarian distribution. The capitalist parts of Rawls, without the public ownership of MoP socialist stuff.

The championing of liberal egalitarianism as "good enough" leaves other questions unanswered. Is social democracy still exploitative? Dominating? Alienating? Environmentally damaging? Inefficient? Those questions hold for any form of capitalism, defined as a society in which capital's self-valorization is predominant, and where there is wage labour.

So the question is what kind of argument would justify not only going beyond old school 20th c. death capitalism, but social democratic capitalism, too. Only if you look into whether (1) capitalist societies are exploitative (2) there is a normative reason to do away with it, and the same with alienation, domination and environmental concerns - then there is a good reason for socialism.
I note in this context that threatening to lock up either Hillary or Trump are not helpful. Say that in 2020, Trump loses the election, and feels that if he leaves office, his political enemies will find a way to imprison him. He therefore has very strong incentive to find a way to stay in power. That really might not be what you want...

That's not how I read it.

Some others, with job titles similar to him, speak of "giving 110%" and how their employees are so dedicated to the company, they gladly take on overtime and crunch and whatnot. This seems refreshingly honest to me in comparison.

Using his math, there's 35 creative hours per person per week; assuming a 5-day work week, he's _paying_ for 20 of those and leaving 15 for personal growth. Sure, some might prefer a different ratio, but at least he's acknowledging that there needs to be a balance.

Interesting choice of words beyond just gender. 'Girl' is roughly analogous to 'boy', both implying reduced age. Considering how proficient teenagers are these days, I suppose the terminology is not that far-fetched.
> I assume it will be too late, before people start being truly effected and to the point they act on something other than promoting public awareness.

That's all too likely. I've been following this for decades. Back in the 80s, what we're seeing now -- disappearing glaciers, far less ice cover in the Arctic Ocean, thawing permafrost, tropical diseases moving poleward, etc -- would have been perceived as catastrophic. But now it's largely ignored by the majority.

> I've been living a lifestyle where I always walk to work & back. I don't own a car ...

I was like that for decades. Now I don't care so much. Because it has basically accomplished nothing.

> ... and I somewhat imagine similar steps need to be taken on a larger scale.

For sure. And far more. But the US is screwed, after decades of suburbanization.

> I'm doubtful people will go from being knowledgable to acting.

Enough people will act enough only when it's truly too late. It's just human nature. We deal with emergencies well. But for slowly moving threats, not so much.

> I have less faith on corporations and laws changing so they must act if they even care about being fined.

Corporations exist to make money. If the climate goes to hell, they'll just make money dealing with that.

This is like the engine underneath PGP, but modernized and with the misfeatures stripped out. You'd use it, instead of PGP (which is bad) for encrypting files, and as a building block for the operational tools that really are just straightforwardly encrypting files (ie: not messaging, which has its own distinct needs and has purpose-built cryptosystems for).
