True HSM with active self destruct needs to be constantly powered. On the other hand for many if not most applications, typical secure smart-card is is completely sufficient (and in fact typical POS card terminal stores most of it's long term secrets on SIM-like smart-card).
Applications that perform DLL injection or modify PEB or to try ring 0 escalation can already be detected in some forms by heuristic anti virus. Little Snitch is still useful as long as the other bases are covered. Think of security as a whole instead of debunking a utility because it fails to prevent other types of exploitation

Those aren’t contradictory views; you are consistent, but your views aren’t consistent with those of the “other people” you refer to, which is my point.
Yeah, Little Snitch is quite popular on Mac.

But a much, much cheaper and much easier and simpler to use software is TripMode - https://www.tripmode.ch/ ...

While it is not marketed as an outbound firewall, it does a great job as one. It isn't as sophisticated as Little Snitch and doesn't offer fine-grained levels of filtering but that's a plus for those who are not advanced users - it simply allows or blocks an "app" from connecting to the internet. It can also monitor your bandwidth usage.

(The Mac version is very stable, but I found the Windows 10 version to be a bit buggy).

Maybe it doesn't matter to most people anymore, but these ports are for more than charging. This regulation could stifle using this port for other features. That said, it's pretty obvious where everything is going (wireless), so it's not clear to me that this regulation will matter too much either way.

> That's why I think to be ultimately successful there has to be a grassroots, widespread, decentralized change in consciousness among the masses, and we are very far from that.

As the world stands it is mostly run by people with the most resources, aka money and/or power. I think this has always been the case throughout history and I don't think we have time to entirely change that right now.[a] Also, in this case maybe this is a good thing. Rich people have the majority of the power and influence, and they are the ones that will be the first to experience the Overview Effect[0] as orbital space tourists.

> The overview effect is a cognitive shift in awareness reported by some astronauts during spaceflight, often while viewing the Earth from outer space.

> It is the experience of seeing firsthand the reality of the Earth in space, which is immediately understood to be a tiny, fragile ball of life, "hanging in the void", shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere. From space, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide people become less important, and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this "pale blue dot" becomes both obvious and imperative.

This is exactly what we need. At least it is a glimmer of hope and a great self-selected alignment of people who need a cognitive shift, and those who can afford it.

I’m saying that the analogy is flawed. There has never been a mandate or standard for the device end of a power cord.
You’re saying it requires an even greater level of photographic detail? If there was demand for this product in the market, then the profession wouldn’t be “endangered” (which is also a silly way of describing it, you can train a person to be a botanical illustrator. You can’t train a dog to be a panda).
Assuming that there's even 1% as much atmosphere up there, 20km is like 200m, making some very rough assumptions that I'm not sure are substantiated. If you've got a big camera, you can make out a huge amount of detail. At 20km, with the advanced technology that you'd assume is on this thing, they'd be able to see a lot.
And next to that is a link to https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.10488 "Statistical Consequences of Fat Tails: Real World Preasymptotics, Epistemology, and Applications" by Nassim Taleb which states "Many "biases" found in psychology become entirely rational under more sophisticated probability distributions".

May be "hardwiredness" is not all that hard wired. Or, put it other way, the hardwiredness is not in humans under study but in humans who study them.

I don't think that humans would achieve what we have today being hardwired to dismiss facts that don't fit their worldview.
From what I read I’m not chilled because I don’t trust the special rapporteur on basic facts. For example, he says, “ He will not receive a trial consistent with the rule of law. That’s another reason why his extradition shouldn’t be allowed. Assange will receive a trial-by-jury in Alexandria, Virginia – the notorious «Espionage Court» where the U.S. tries all national security cases. The choice of location is not by coincidence, because the jury members must be chosen in proportion to the local population, and 85 percent of Alexandria residents work in the national security community – at the CIA, the NSA, the Defense Department and the State Department.”

Do some people who live in Alexandria, Virginia work for the national security community? Clearly, but 85% is tin foil hat territory.

I’d like to understand more about the Assange situation, because this guy is not trustworthy.

Why would casting hide errors?
I am having the same problem and I think I am going to go with json schema.

The problem is that a lot of the things you want to validate aren't easily expressible as typescript types (e.g., valid email address, make sure two fields are always the same length, etc). If json schema are more expressive you want to use that as your source to generate the typescript interface instead of the other way around.
> Unless they knowingly and intentionally broke criminal law, that's completely over the top and unnecessary.

Why? If I drive drunk and a cop pulls me over, lack of knowledge is no defense. As the head of a company, why is a lack of knowledge of the goings-on of the company a defense? If you don't know the goings-on when you are in a position to, at the very least that should be categorized as criminally negligent.

> The original iPhone cable, then lightning, then wireless charging

I was under the impression that Apple was behind the curve on wireless. My wife and I bought our phones at around the same time, her iPhone doesn't have wireless, my Android does.

Bear in mind, not all Android do; that was one reason I didn't buy the Pixel when I bought my phone; no wireless charging was a deal breaker.
Thanks for your presentation at that meetup! It's definitely one of the most radically-decentralized & technically-principled projects, so it was good to see it alongside other presenters there, like Matrix (definitely headed in the right direction) & Planetary (built on similarly-principled Secure Scuttlebutt).
Because TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript and works directly with existing JavaScript code.

It’s the same reason that there is any interest at all in MyPy for Python, Sorbet for Ruby etc.
> Most other languages I know of only have a single type for a variable

This may be pedantic, but with subtyping many OO languages can give many different distinct types for a variable. In Java you can assign any non-primitive typed expression to a variable of type Object. So almost any expression in Java can be typed as Object.

What you are describing as novel is rather the phenomenon of type refinement in a pattern match or conditional expression. When an expression undergoes pattern matching, its type becomes increasingly refined. This is a useful feature in intermediate-to-advanced Haskell (known as GADT) as well as dependently typed languages.
That’s my understanding too. You just can’t cast types wily Nily.

IIRC, you don't need cross-product for electrical engineering, and IIRC it (thankfully) isn't (generally?) taught in high school.

Furthermore, later, in college, it would seem that electromagnetics get easier when taught through bivectors rather than cross products (and you avoid the traps with pseudo-vectors and, later, gimbal lock with Euler angles ?).

Maxwell's multiple equations seem to condensate to a single one under GA !

Not a particularly informative or well-written one frankly.

"Also, with more memory, there are simply many more possible features that MIDI 2.0 can try to emulate. More memory should also reduce the chance of the timing between playing a MIDI instrument and digital recording to be slightly off. This should mean music played on MIDI 2.0 instruments will feel more analog, and make it possible for non-keyboard instruments to work better with MIDI."

Eh? What?

"The fact that MIDI 2.0 is bidirectional has two major effects. First, it means that it is backwards compatible, and won’t make the billions of MIDI 1.0 devices already out in the world obsolete."

No, backwards compatibility does not follow from MIDI 2.0 being bidirectional.

"“I think using a MIDI guitar would change the way I make music. The way our brain orients to making music on a guitar is just different to a keyboard layout. I used to have a MIDI guitar instrument, but I don’t have it anymore because I felt like there was a lot of latency and I didn’t really like the results I got. I am hoping [MIDI 2.0] will solve some of the issues I had before.”"

Well prepare to be disappointed. The problems with digital non-keyboard instruments has little to do with MIDI. In the case of a MIDI guitar, the latency problem is an issue of physics, not the digital transport.
The U.S. FCC's fairness doctrine "required licensed radio and television broadcasters to present fair and balanced coverage of controversial issues of interest to their communities, including by devoting equal airtime to opposing points of view." It was mostly repealed in 1987 under Reagan. A few provisions lasted a little longer.

I think some radio shows etc have greater ability to be polarizing with this out of the way, and our respective bubbles freer from outside disturbance.

No you’re completely missing the point. In cooking photos may be more useful than illustrations, but in botany it’s illustrations that are more useful. Therefore it’s on people that want illustrations to find talent not talent’s job to somehow know exactly what skills are required.

Typescript is great but it has its evils because it’s a superset of JavaScript. I really hope we get a modern language like c# where the types are guaranteed compile + runtime and you can’t any-ignore problems.

The more I use typescript I realize I want a more sound and stricter language. Like no prototype overriding at runtime.
Keybase is a little like "Linux on the desktop". I love it, I use it. With my help, even my dad can use it. The underlying architecture is righteous, it's open-source, and I want it to be good enough so that everybody can use it... but it's just not. Too many basic things that "normal people" want to do just don't work well enough.

Keybase's desktop and mobile apps sometimes hang while decrypting old messages, and until you force quit, the messages won't load.

The Mac app gets into this mode where it can't be hidden, and just insists on staying on the screen.

It doesn't work at all, for any reasonable value of work, on the iPad (it shows a tiny little phone-sized window that fills about 25% of the screen, and doesn't support rotate so it's rotated 90 degrees if you try to type into it with the keyboard).

Etc.

OTOH, the underlying platform seems well-designed and that's obviously where most of the effort is going — it's been a steady march of new and valuable features. They only added the chat feature itself 3 years ago. Keybase git, Stellar wallet, Keybase SSH, the awesome new bot architecture...

While I too wish the apps were smooth and polished, Keybase might be right to focus on the platform first. Making a good app using cross-platform UI toolkits is hard.

Those toolkits are evolving fast, too. It's not inconceivable that in another 3 years, the apps they have today will have been completely replaced by new ones based on a next-generation UI library that runs on top of Tauri[1] or whatever the new hotness is in 2023, and maybe those will be smoother and more polished due to general advances in cross-platform app cores and UI libraries, and if that happens we might end up being glad that the Keybase people spent their energy on building out this reliable crypto platform instead of trying to fix Electron's window layering bugs or whatever.

But yeah, in 2020, I agree the Keybase app's aren't even close to being polished enough to replace Slack for most people. (And Slack itself is pretty awful!)

> My understanding is that the core value / principle of libertarianism is individual liberty.

Yes, and libertarians tend to hold that it is right and proper (and even often define “violence” to exclude this use of force) to use any degree of force necessary to get others to observe the individual liberties libertarians see as essential.
Given the rapidity with which the Harvard chemical-biologist was arrested after we received a sample and sequenced it (~36 hours), I think it is possible (possible! not likely!) that we engineered it, and they paid a researcher to give them a copy.

There are actions we can take that lead to escalation or deescalation.

The US used to lead, at least in some ways, towards a more peaceful world. Together with the Soviet Union, the US got rid of thousands of nuclear weapons. Now we are headed back in the other direction. The US still leads, but it's leading towards more conflict.

Over and over again you see countries following the US as it, for example, starts to justify assassinations, wars, and torture in the name of fighting terrorism. The US unilaterally withdraws from nuclear non-proliferation agreements and nuclear proliferation heats up. As you yourself point out, the US starts militarizing space and other nations follow suit. Just today it was announced that the US is reversing course on a ban against use of land mines.

A major nuclear conflict is likely to result in hundreds of millions if not billions of deaths. We have to pull back from the brink rather than always edging closer and closer to it, and this won't be achieved through more militarization.. especially not in a more multi-polar world where the US is daily losing more and more of its technological edge.

Achieving a non-violent world isn't going to happen overnight, and it likely won't happen without setbacks, but the US could take the lead and steer towards peace instead of towards war.

It's funny how all of the threats of Brexit basically involve the EU increasing prices and making it extremely difficult for the UK to do business with other EU members.

Yet, nobody blames the EU. The EU is a bully and starting to become like a de facto federal government for the entire European Union.

I'm glad they had the courage to leave the EU now, which will result in some short-term pain...but much better in the long run. I hope other countries follow suit.

To Quote Bastiat

The Law is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense.

the principle of collective right its reason for existing, its lawfulness is based on individual right..

The common force that protects this collective right cannot logically have any other purpose or any other mission than that for which it acts as a substitute. Thus, since an individual cannot lawfully use force against the person, liberty, or property of another individual, then the common force for the same reason cannot lawfully be used to destroy the person, liberty, or property of individuals or groups.

The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do only what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties; to maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign over us all.
