The environmental results of such a project would be devastating, and human civilization in Europe might just be better off with a 10m rise in sea levels.
The company’s importance to the global security market had fallen by then, squeezed by the spread of online encryption technology. Once the province of governments and major corporations, strong encryption is now as ubiquitous as apps on cellphones.

Ah. That puts the export on cryptography limitations in perspective. Don't allow new tech to compete with the source of a lot of valuable intel.

I can write boilerplate much much faster than I can type, either I or the community have scripted that shit :D
This has been tried. It's called Namecoin and it failed to get much traction.

I suspect that using Bitcoin instead would improve adoption dramatically instead of creating yet another token. This can be done using sidechains or something similar.
"Walkable" doesn't mean you can't walk (although it sometimes means that, too, of course).

By most measurements, walkability refers to a pedestrian's ability to reach amenities such as grocery stores within a short time (e.g. 5 minutes). By that metric, almost all of Manhattan is extremely walkable.

Manhattan does have many isolated "deserts" where you can find yourself surrounded by just residential buildings (parts of UWS and UES, for example), or a heavy concentration of businesses, parking, industry (e.g. 11th-12th Ave around Hudson Yards, for example). Until a decade ago or so, the Finance District used to be pretty dead at night. And so on.

There's fairly low "pain threshold" in the US before people discard walking as an alternative and just go in their car. We all know the satiric image of the American who jumps in their car to go one block; in my experience (as a European living in the US), there's a certain amount of cultural indoctrination that has persuaded Americans that transportation by car is absolutely necessary.
I am guessing because there's a lot more to growing and processing algae. What the article is talking about is just moving some of the spent grain to the water treatment plant.

Local farmers already partner with breweries to use some of the spent grain as cattle feed adjunct. I don't know whether spent grain is viable as fertilizer.

Another reason might be that most breweries are likely hesitant to introduce another microorganism in vast quantities into the brewery--especially if that microorganism feeds on the same stuff as yeast does--to avoid contamination of their main product: beer.
Alex’s work is truly prolific in the Rust world. His stepping away is rightly earned, and it seems he may be moving more into WASM side of things, which shows good promise. I’m happy to see he may be involved in other projects in the community.

Never mind that the biggest part of the classic finder experience wasn't the look-and-feel, so just a theme won't help you much.

And speaking of modern screens, even if you get a copy of the OS 9 font (Chicago?), it would look quite odd on high resolution, especially if it's anti-aliased.

And I definitely agree about the weird issues we've got with screen sizes today. I rarely get something in the "goldilocks" zone, either it's all Material/Aero with yuge margins and white space that would make Jan Tschichold blush, or its old UIs that are just a bit too small (try running the aforementioned Worker file manager on a HiDPi screen).
From my admittedly completely uninformed position, this looks so much like academics searching for some profound insight that will win a Nobel prize (or perhaps just guarantee a tasty stream of research grants) when in reality the truth could be much simpler. Let's look at an example of a group that suffers disproportionately:

'The high level of schizophrenia in black Caribbeans living in the UK probably reflects the interaction of multiple risk factors, many of which cluster in the black Caribbean community in the UK. Particularly significant factors appear to be the combination of isolation and exclusion, both within society (living in areas of low ethnic density and reduced participation in society) and within the family (family break-up and paternal separation). These factors seem to be more powerful than socioeconomic disadvantage, which is more likely to be a consequence than causal. Racism itself may contribute to social exclusion, increasing the vulnerability to schizophrenia. Biological or genetic susceptibility do not appear to explain high rates of schizophrenia in black Caribbeans. More research is needed about the role of cannabis, particularly in its more potent forms, and whether this contributes to the excess of schizophrenia in black Caribbeans.'

Perhaps it's as simple as: people that are born blind are to some extent insulated from risk factors that are conducive of schizophrenia.

There are places in the US where this is the rate of appreciation on real estate. While there are periodic setbacks (see: 2008-2012), real estate is remarkably stable across the country, especially in major cities. The small, somewhat rural area I live in had an average appreciation of 13% last year, which is not sustainable for this area but still indicative of the overall trend.
That argument really only works if you're a political activist or even an average citizen. However, if you're a high level executive, defense contractor, or a high ranking government employee, do you really want the Chinese government to have access to your comms AND know your movements?
From my reading, that's still not quite right.

"We know the alum that we saved already is about $16,000 a year for sure. But if that wouldn't have done it, that's when an upgrade around the corner would have been, and then if we have to do an upgrade, there's where you run into the millions," Newfield says.

Using the grain definitely saved them $16,000 a year in using alum, which may not have been as effective. If the alum hadn't worked, then they would have had to make the $1million investment.

The real story is more complicated, and covered very well in a book called "Losing the Signal", written by journalists at the Globe & Mail.

RIM had an engineering-first culture that was attuned to the needs of enterprise customers and wireless carriers first and foremost. Those customers prioritized email delivery over bandwidth-constrained mobile networks. RIM made big money off of Blackberry Enterprise Services (BES), which included dedicated servers to handle push email and compress web traffic for improved speed.

When the engineer CEO Mike Lazaridis saw the iPhone, he thought it'd fail because AT&T's 2G and 3G networks would collapse trying to load desktop websites and online video.

Which they did. The biggest complaint about the early iPhone in the US was that it dropped calls, and that websites loaded slowly (this was before responsive websites, srcset, CDN caching etc were common).

Ultimately it didn't matter, because consumers and businesspeople wanted the iPhone and accepted the tradeoffs.
They pulled the same like when I was trying to buy a little yellow cake uranium. The government is so hypocritical.
I absolutely do not think ICANN, or the registries, "need" any more money, and I don't want them to have it.

At the same time, one could make a very strong case that .com domains should cost more to help combat squatting and speculation. They are a limited resource and too many people (me included) sit on domains "just in case I want to develop the idea" and that has a lot of other unintended consequences we don't want.
All the factors you mentioned are contingent factors that can change, but what can't change is common (recent) ancestry

that doesn't sound like an accurate portrayal of the article at all. "Kernel Read-Only Primitive" and "Kernel Write-Only Primitive" are vague, but as far as I can tell, "SWAPGS", "BadIRET", "SysRet", and "Pop SS" are in core kernel code which cannot be configured out with Kconfig. CVE-2017-5123 is in waitid, which I believe cannot be configured out, and CVE-2017-1000112 is in TCP, which can be disabled, but is virtually never done. I don't think anything in this article talks about exploits from kernel modules. In fact, according to the article, LKRG can be trivially disabled from root by simply running "rmmod p_lkrg".

Deno supports TypeScript out of the box, but still effectively uses the transpiler under the hood.

TypeScript is designed for the JavaScript runtime, with the only difference being additional compile-time type checks. The runtime behaviour is basically defined as the JS runtime behaviour, so any alternative engine will have to be a full JavaScript engine.

That said, there are some projects that take a subset of TypeScript and run using different implementations. One example is https://github.com/AssemblyScript/assemblyscript
However, being a subset, the available functionality will be a lot more limited.
The filesystem APIs are moving in a similar direction if I'm not mistaken? Less and less control for developers. It makes me sad, but also gives me hope that there might be a legitimate opening for a 3rd mobile OS to enter the market, built around OSS and privacy. Sometimes it's hard to keep the dream alive though. So many attempts have been made.
This misses the point I was making. Wearing pajamas is fine, I was referring to the clothes that one slept in. Changing to something fresh is what I meant.

There is the Klabnik one from NoStarch and the Blandy one from O'Reilly. The first one is more towards beginners, the second one is pretty advanced, you build some relatively advanced things. I own both.

Part of the appeal of Rust is that there aren't as many bad parts as with C++.

Socialism lacks checks and balances because it's a decentralized/distributed model of rule. Now in reality it's possible the military could exist as a pseudo "check and balance". But checks and balances do not exist as a defined construct in socialism, by being distributed it argues it doesn't need checks and balances, because it's run by the people.

Secondly checks and balances are arguably anti-socialism even, because it would introduce a backdoor/round-a-bout way of enacting rule that wasn't endorsed and driven by the people. So no, the lack of checks and balances isn't just a Soviet Union thing, it's a socialism thing, otherwise it isn't true socialism.

Jebbit's Tom Coburn on getting big customers [video]
This is a good point, you should expect your diversity numbers to match locally, to local numbers, not some global number or target. If you are creating an unreasonable target, you are only reintroducing bias into the process. Sounds like what OPs company is doing.
- Simplicity

- Privacy friendliness

- Features (like bypassing ad-blockers [1], see which tweets got traffic [2], events, ...)

We have customers like banks and governments who really care about the privacy part. Most of our customers use our tool because it has a very simple interface. One thing that also plays a big role is the likability of the brand. People seem to like it and are willing to pay money for its mission. We even had customers that didn't use our tool but where actively keeping the subscription active.

> Hub, the previous Github CLI, was written in Go too, so I don't think this is much of a surprise.

Hub was originally a collection of Ruby scripts for ±3 years [1]. They later refactored the code to use Go:

• Initial commit on Dec 5, 2009 was 100% Ruby code [2]

• @jingweno started a refactoring using Go on Apr 8, 2013 [3][4]

• The Go rewrite was merged to master on May 23, 2013 [5]

I observed the same and the gist of the article is: "Two very smart people have healthy, happy, and productive marriage." For some reason the headline (but not the content) appears to be designed to elicit the belief that Betty was somehow unappreciated and forgotten. My understanding is that authors don't generally pick the titles their pieces are published under, so I would guess the editor wanted a punchier title for whatever reason.

It's a good piece though and I'm glad I read it.

Which would imply that people with "average ideal" resumes are overpriced and you can get a steal on people who, for instance, are unusually qualified in specific ways but lack some common HR filter like a bachelor's.

Or the algorithms are actually accurate and people who aren't "average ideal" candidates are lousy hires on average.
I feel like .com should be much more expensive than it is. Too many people squatting. I have friends who have dozens of .com, and not even "just in case", they're just collecting them because they like the sound of them. Then when you have a real idea all the good ones are taken, most unused.

The .com TLD is supposed to be for commercial use, so for a real company it shouldn't be a big deal to pay $50 or $100 per year or more, and it would free up good domains to be actually used.
And in the third world (e.g., Mexico), they are an order of magnitude cheaper than a Tesla.
I hope more implementations will become available. It’s a decent start, since the C based light client doesn’t expose any services.

I know the handshake devs/maintainers are active on here. I've heard explanations from y'all about how handshake tries to solve the squatter problem. As far as I understand those explanations:

- Names are released at a trickle, meaning no one can buy all of them in one go.

- Names have to be constantly renewed (it's not a buy-once-keep-forever scheme), and (correct me if I'm wrong), you can't buy 10 years out in advance.

- A large portion of the initial names are reserved for Open Source developers, under the assumption that squatting won't be so much of a problem if they get first pick.

It's still not clear to me how this solves resource scarcity.

- If names are released at a trickle, does this mean I might want to register a domain for a project and there literally won't be any able available for me to choose from?

- If names have to be renewed on a year-by-year basis, is there any mechanism for archival? Won't this be strictly worse for link rot?

- If names are released at a trickle, doesn't this create an even greater incentive for both good and bad actors to grab them as soon as they become available?

I'm mildly interested in Handshake because based on very limited research it seems in general to be an improvement over what we have. I get that perfect is the enemy of the good, I would take almost any improvement over the existing system. But at the same time, I still just don't understand how this helps solve the squatter problem -- every once and a while I ask and get an explanation, and then think about it for a while and end up having more questions.

My perspective is, we want everyone to be online. We want everyone to have their own blog, we want people to be able to create websites on impulse. And we want resilient, long-term links that can serve as permanent addresses for content. The idea of combating squatters is based on the assumption that domain names will continue to be a scarce resource. But you fundamentally can't have domains be a limited resource that are difficult to hoard if you also want random/poor elementary school kids to be able to buy them.

Handshake talks about solving Zooko's triangle: human-meaningful, decentralized, or secure. But the way I originally heard Zooko's triangle explained to me (which may have been wrong) was: human-meaningful, secure, high-availability. Am I correct in assuming that in the second version, Handshake is optimized for human-meaningful and secure at the expense of high-availability? That domains will continue to be a limited, scarce resource that are susceptible to hoarding by people with lots of money? Or are there other mechanisms here that I don't understand?

This is fascinating. I also have aphantasia and experienced psychosis with high dosages of those drugs, however the only lasting effect I received was a profound connection with all living things. I subsequently became vegetarian. Other lasting effects I have experienced from strong psychedelics are mostly social realizations—basically I have more/expanded empathy and imagination and am able to go far enough outside my own headspace to recognize how I differ from others. I envy people who claim that psychedelics have made them closer to cognitive normal; while they have made me happier in the sense that I have less internal conflict, they have never “fixed” my brain, only given me better coping mechanisms.
Frustrated by flawed broadband maps, states are trying to create their own
I remember some of the first time I did salvia. I was sitting on a couch at the end of a room, and I looked up at the corner of the ceiling, where the ceiling met two walls. Then I looked back at the people I was sitting with, but all I could see was the corner of the ceiling, where the ceiling met two walls. Then after... seconds? A minute? An hour? I could see normally again, but the room I was in began to move backward. It detached from an enormous wall, where it was revealed to be one of an infinite grid of identical rooms.

I don't remember the rest. Apparently all I did the whole time was stare with a blank expression for five minutes.

Salvia. It's powerful stuff!
That's just an immediate non-starter then. Nobody is following all of these esoteric systems in the case that one of them gains marketshare, it guarantees that people will be phished and defrauded as soon as they use it. We had this issue with namecoin already, where people went and registered names of prominent people and tried to use that to solicit fraudulent donations.
This can definitely happen after things that are supposed to be relaxing. The key is to plan your day out so you don't do anything stressful right after. (unfortunately you probably still have to drive home afterwards)

Observability for the Missing Hop
The argument from the apparent source of this (Graeber's Debt) is that the progression of "barter, but that's inefficient so we create -> money, and then later we create -> debt" is historically inaccurate—instead, debt comes first, barter also but mostly for dealing with strangers, and then money is a later invention that has to do with sophisticated (relative to what came before) military logistics in large states/empires.

This is an oversimplification but gives you the gist of the book's argument. So yes, it agrees that money is a relatively late development and trade existed before it and was largely barter-based but only when strangers or rival groups traded, but the central argument is that debt (basically) came first rather than last, and effectively precedes money, which is more a tool of debt than debt is a tool of money, if you will.

"Because I can log into my sshd, so can everyone else"...? We are not talking about weak crypto here (though AFAIK 5G crypto is designed to be decidedly not E2E), but rather access to the data processed by these systems. There is no particular reason why granting e.g. the NSA access to a stream of CDRs would immediately give others access.
In my mind, the registration process for TLDs shouldn't cost more than a couple of cents right? Maybe a dollar at most?

This sounds like a purely artificial pricing process to me... But I'm happy to have my opinion changed on this topic.
