"If they had proof they would have showed it already. "

A) They did show 'proof' ostensibly, to the specific agencies of interest i.e. UK/Germany.

B) Your 'a' and 'b' are missing the most important point, in that the revelation of their knowledge may compromise some ongoing intelligence program. The information may very well have been provided by spies who'd be put at risk.

Literally yesterday WaPo published a story on the most comprehensive US intelligence program ever and it quite nicely illustrated the challenges of how to reveal how much you know, and the consequences therein.

This is not 'open source land' where we like complete transparency, it's a different game.

C) There's also another issue, and that this may not be 'black and white'. For example, the ostensible 'back door' may not be clear cut: it may be that it doesn't yet exist, but there are elements in the design prepared for backdoors to be very easily added at a later date.

The title doesn't seem to match the actual article content: it's clear that Betty Shannon was very smart and an important collaborator with Claude, but "mathematical genius" is very strong language and I'm not seeing anything in the article to suggest it's justified.

I haven't yet used AirBNB because the whole thing seems sketchy to me. The behavior of the company itself and the behavior of some of the hosts make my nervous about using them, and the last thing I want to be with this sort of thing is even a little bit nervous. So, at least for the time being, I'm more than happy sticking with traditional hotels and bed-and-breakfasts.

If AirBNB finds a way to fix these issues, then I may become interested in giving them a try. But I will want to see at least a couple of years go by without undue problems first.

there's also a lot of well-intentioned and even purely philanthropic microfinance initiatives that end up becoming a burden on a too-large proportion of recipients too. Tiny short term loans in remote locations create admin overheads which make the exorbitant interest rates difficult to avoid. Somewhere along the line the rationale switched from 'poor people with no access to credit just need one break so they can get the equipment they need to make a living' to 'actually, regular borrowers at 15%/month are good borrowers, not bad at budgeting within their already low incomes' though, and the marketing got more aggressive

This article about the context of Sun Tzu, made me remember my own discoveries about the bible (disclaimer: I am a firmly Christian)

A lot of the passages that seem completely controversial now, can be understood if you think about what was going on.

For example, saw a bunch of people saying it was proof of misoginy the fact the bible consider menstrual fluids "unclean", thing is, that law was enacted when they lived in a mobile tent camp, if a person with a blood-transmissible disease washed on the middle of the camp water source for example, it could quickly infect everyone.

Or Paul in New Testament saying men should NOT cover their heads, make a lot of sense when you find out people at the time decided to adopt a fashion from some roman nobles that started to use robes with head covering during religious events, with the intention of appearing more spiritual.
I really wish they would open the API up and allow third party clients, more competition and choice there could only be a good thing for users.
It's a simple binomial probability calculation. The probability of one or more blind schizophrenic people born in the US, assuming they're independent variables, is 1-0,999998^330000000. I don't have a calculator on hand that can calculate that, but it's more than 1 - 10^-87. So the odds that there is no link between the two is close to the odds of guessing a specific bitcoin wallet's key in one try.
I agree, this is probably not a good question. I think maybe it's indeed a case by case question and I have to master a lot of tools to make good judgement.

For now I'm teaching myself CL tools, and I feel if I need to pipe more than 5 times in one liners I'd rather use Python.
Interesting list. Besides Palantir, I know these: GitLab, Databricks, MemSQL and mongoDB. I don't think "they" are using these to exfiltrate data "Crypto AG" style - I'd be surprised if "big data"/data science wasn't part of their operations, hence it makes sense to invest into some of their core tools. This ensures sustained development and maybe catering to CIA-specific edge cases.

Judging by the company names: Investments into RF companies also are more likely on the "tools we use" instead of the "rigged" side of things. The amount of Biotech makes me assume the decision-makers think this is an emerging market which will make a good investment.

So answering to GP: No, not compromised. I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or maybe even two hiding in plain sight, but I think for each individual company on that list, it is very, very, very unlikely that this specific company is compromised. If you don't trust them, make your sensitive GitLab and MongoDB instances accessible via Intranet/VPN only - but I suppose that's good practice anyway?

The British response has been to still go ahead with using Huawei for potentially over 30% of their non-core infrastructure.

In any case, my point is not that they aren't plausible reasons why they might not make any proof public. My point is that they aren't above using those plausible reasons to propagate disinformation. So their statements are meaningless to us (the public) because it's impossible to discern truth from lies without further information.
There is no current recall for Subaru EyeSight. Perhaps you're thinking of a different manufacturer?

Subaru did have a recall several years ago due to an electrical problem which could prevent automatic braking (not trigger inappropriately).

I'm no expert in aircraft, but I'm guessing that in both cases the relationship between progress and the metric in question is logarithmic: The first bits to be put place represent the bulk of the (weight|LOC), but only a relatively small percentage of overall time and effort.

I have aphantasia and schizophrenia. I've never had a visual or auditory hallucination, but I have had plenty of delusions and cognitive dysfunction. Ever since learning about aphantasia I've wondered if it has protected me from these types of hallucinations. Maybe someone should run a study on this?

A common post among the people over at /r/schizophrenia is that the so called negative symptoms of schizophrenia (anhedonia, apathy, reduced social drive, cognitive impairment, etc) are just as bad if not worse than the positive symptoms (hallucinations and delusions). Unfortunately the negative symptoms are not adequately treated by any medicine and are in fact made worse (!) by medication. This is probably the number one reason why schizophrenics quit their medication - the medications are simply so shitty that people would rather risk the positive symptoms than experience worse negative symptoms.

There's no good research directions for new schizophrenia medications either. Schizophrenia research certainly isn't discussed (or have funds raised for it) as much as Alzheimer's research despite the fact that 3.5 million people in the US have it, and it affects people at a much younger age.

Edit: Before starting medication I noticed some visual disturbances related to schizophrenia often known as sensory gating deficits. I would get an overload of visual sensory information to the point where I would notice nearly every detail in my visual range simultaneously (that's the best way I can explain it). At times it was actually quite beautiful since the whole world would pop out in vivid color. However as soon as motion was introduced it quickly became overwhelming.
Worth a warning: the recent history of GTK theming is pretty tortuous, and the GTK3 theming engine, while extremely flexible, doesn't really lend itself to non-modern (I can't think of a better euphemism) designs.

There are some themes, like Memphis98, that sort manage to create the sort of visual appearance that you're after. However, the GTK 3-ness is obvious even there: the "Open file..." dialog has huge, unresizable widgets on the left, combo bars are long. Lots of UI elements are bulky and oversized.

Consequently, in my experience, you're actually better off with a GTK2 theme and Qt applications with the gtk2 style engine.

I'm not really a fan of old-time themes -- I mean, I miss my Amiga but not that much. I know about this stuff for altogether different reasons -- I spent a lot of time trying to get a more compact layout, because GTK3 applications are pretty much unusable on small/low-density/low-resolution screens (and, IMHO, way too large even on "normal"-ish screens. I have a 27" monitor and, at 2560x1440, everything is so big it drives me nuts). I even tried to write my own, and failed pretty badly. So yeah.

> We need to stop untethering the text from the historical and cultural milieu of its origination

The reason we still read these people at all (Thucydides, Machievelli, Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, etc) is because their work transcends "the historical and cultural milieu of its origination".

Time (and the accumulation of human opinions) is the real judge here and in the case of all of these writers, time has judged that they are, in fact, saying something eternally true about politics and fighting wars that transcends their historical circumstances. If you want to delve into their historical backgrounds, that's great -- and perhaps it will lead to new, valid intepretations. But it isn't wrong to read them as political philosophy, which is what we generally do.
I’ve been on Southwest flights so sparsely full (maybe 40 people on a plane with capacity for 120) where the flight attendants have to repeatedly tell people to “spread out for weight and balance.” That’s about as scientific as their calculation got.

> airplanes have had auto-pilot for a long time... why not highway 80 in the middle of nowhere?

You don’t get a stalled car on a Victor airway in the sky. You also don’t have to worry about obstacle avoidance for the most part, in the sky. If an aviation autopilot can’t hold the altitude or heading (such as in turbulence or in mountain up and downdrafts,) it will simply keep the wings level. Airplane autopilots follow explicit instructions: fly heading 143 at 14000 feet; descend at 500 fpm. Hold over a VOR using 1 minute legs at 200kts.

A car autopilot on the other hand, has to react to the physical surroundings. Not only “follow the I-10 at 75mph,” but also, watch out for incoming traffic, lane closures, or some kid on a bicycle that wanders into the road, or a dead animal in the road, or wet roads, icy roads, etc. There is no such thing as Instrument Flight Rules for driving, meaning a car autopilot has to be aware of the visual, while an airplane doesn’t: it just flies the precise route programmed without any awareness that the route might fly through a flock of geese. An airplane autopilot will fly you right into the ground if you let it. There is a lot of skill and training around airplane autopilot, and while it’s amazing and useful, it’s a lot more than simply turning it on and it flies you automatically to Denver.

Google Joining Hashgraph Governing Council and Further Integrating GCP
I have coworkers who regularly take meetings or text chat/email while driving. It makes me uncomfortable. I have tried hinting that it's a bad idea, but don't feel comfortable telling them directly (don't think it would do anything except harm our relationship due to me questioning their judgement) or reporting to HR (fear of retaliation, some of the coworkers are senior to me in the management chain). On the other hand my discomfort kind of makes me feel like a busybody. 99 times out of 100 nothing will happen and the 100th time will probably just be a fenderbender. Not sure what to do except continue feeling uncomfortable with it.

"Or explaining why they allow those backdoors exist in the first place?"

Nobody that matters needs to be convinced of the value 'back doors'. Only a minority of the American public and privacy types are very concerned.

Certainly the other government agencies i.e. UK/Germany would take it as a given in terms of 'why' such back doors are there.

There's a reference above to the WaPo article yesterday revealing the longest-running and best surveillance program by the US. It was run out of Germany. The Germans were wary of using it too broadly, but they were otherwise fully behind it, and their intel agencies balked at closing it down.

It's not really even very political: certainly, Democrats would be 'mostly' onboard - there isn't really much of a political base against it other than perhaps the Libertarian crowd.

I should add, some major US industrialists like Apple and Google probably do care a lot, and they do matter and do have influence. But probably not enough.

So while many of us may disagree, it's not at the end of the day as controversial as we may think it is.

I will yield to your logic, and thanks for taking the time to explain how my approximation was flawed. I really need to brush up my logic skills... I did say "hint" though, which really means it is hypothesis, not strict logic at that point.

Edit: wait, no, I re-read my post and clearly, I did not make the logical fallacy. You're correct, and I did see that, hence using the word "hints at", not "means that". But my wording was bad afterwards ("is" instead of "would be"). : ) so thanks for clarifying.
Subaru EyeSight will do automatic braking under limited circumstances. It only works to reduce the risk or severity of forward collisions when the cameras can see clearly. Overall it's better than nothing and worth the minor extra cost.
