I like how you phrased this as a solved engineering problem.
This could be useful for email authentication as an anti-spam measure. Yes, on rare occasions there are fake passports signed by governments, but not in the quantities spammers need.
If you read The Art of Computer Programming or Djikstra's writings they will tell you how this was done. They took a piece of paper, and they wrote down in a high level what their program should do. Then they took another piece of paper and they started to split up the first piece of paper into smaller subroutines. Then they took some more paper and split the small subroutines up into smaller and smaller subroutines.

Then they sat in front of a computer and they wrote the program from the simplest subroutine up the tree and at some point totally trashed everything realizing they didn't fully understand the problem because architecting a program is difficult until you actually implement it. So back to the paper they did the exact same design algorithm using the new experience they had from actually trying to implement whatever they were doing but this time with the added experience of knowing more about the problem they were trying to solve. Then when the chance came to implement their program on a likely shared computer with limited time, they wrote this program the exact same way from the bottom up testing all the way until it was finished. Everytime I've asked a question on stackoverflow/exchange I realized half way through preparing and formatting my question that my program is too complicated, I should break up the logic and then I don't need to ask a question. I swear this is why they make posting there so tedious where you need carefully format and search for existing questions before posting a new one because odds are, you'll figure out what you trying to ask before even asking it.

In my experience, government agencies fulfill requests if it's easy and won't put the agency or administration in a bad light. I suspect this falls more into the latter case than the former, they don't want people to see the logs because they know the bulk of the comments are bogus.

First, I agree with your conclusion. The way to address this is to change the law, pushing individual corporation is ineffective.

However, you DON'T have to maximize your profits above all other corporations. There's no such actual fiduciary duty and there never could be.
That's the point the poster is trying to make - something being legal doesn't make it ethical and acting in a unethical, but legal, manner does not absolve you of contempt.
The feature this talks about isn't free, it requires a bunch more compute capability in the NFC chip, which drives up prices and you most likely wouldn't know if you have it. What's the result?

Passports are expensive documents, but what you'd expect is that even though the document is expensive anyway there's an incentive to cut corner on expensive features that aren't noticed.

Sure enough my actual British passport (issued after it became apparent that idiot Leavers would get their way but before they wasted money having the passports arbitrarily changed colour and removing the words "European Union") does not have the "Active Authentication" feature.

It has the obligatory embarrassing photo encoded, and it carries proof this document was issued by the UKPA, for whatever that is worth, but it isn't capable of "active authentication" and so it would be useless for this PoW trick.

Now maybe the United Kingdom is an outlier. Maybe every other passport authority in the world has been issuing these for a decade. But I'd guess exactly the opposite. One or two security enthusiastic countries have it, or worse, it's available as a demo from the handful of companies that make passports, but the vast majority of people who have a passport don't have one of these.

If you own an NFC reader you can get software that checks for Active Authentication. I'd be a tiny bit interested in the results if you see anything interesting for yours.

Lynching slaves was immoral, unethical and "blameworthy" before it became illegal.
I've posted this a couple of times, and while based mostly on my own anecdotal experience and basic research (I am not an epidemiologist), it still seems to fit the pattern of evidence gradually coming out.

There were a spike in bacterial pneumonia cases in regional Australian hospitals in the middle of summer prior to the known outbreak. I know of 1/2 dozen people (including myself) who caught some highly contagious non-flu virus and had varying symptoms. One person developed pneumonia but tested negative for both the flu and SARS-CoV-2 at the time - which was how I heard about the spike in hospitalisations.

My pet theory is that someone infected with the milder version was co-infected with the bat originated virus in Wuhan resulting in a highly contagious version that can cause COVID-19.

Whether they worked in the lab or got it from the market is a matter of debate. I'm thinking lab as the market didn't have bats and patient zero didn't go to the market, while the lab did have bats at some point. There was a serious effort to hide the evidence which makes it all the more suspicious.

There was evidence of a human-specific immune response mutation which could indicate it was neither manufactured or required an intermediary host.

What I think we have to be careful of is that the milder version doesn't provide immunity for the more dangerous one.
The issue is that even the venture capitalists and the the managers have own oppressors and there is no external solution to the issue that this person is facing.

I remember one time a manager explaining to me how incredibly aggressive and unrealistic targets the CEO sets for them and that is why we were getting the push. The reason is that the CEO is a result-based position and is receiving unrealistic pressure from the board of directors. On the other hand the members of the board of directors are trying to keep the company afloat and avoid this being their next-in-a-row investment failure so that they can officially be classified as "serial loser". In this world you are either oppressed by someone else or by pure reality. The Hollywood image of a 1920s oppressive capitalist smoking cigars all day and thinking of who's life he should destroy in the name of profit is laughable nonsense. That is just not how the world works.

I generally agree with this person's premises, but I reject his conclusion. He basically got the slap that he deserved, since there was a huge disconnect between his model of reality and actual reality. I know because I used to be this person and am currently recovering from what this person is experiencing. The solution can only come from within and as far as I can tell it involves finding inner peace and at the same time adopting a highly disagreeable personality traits.

> That may not happen immediately on release because the fabulous NHSX development team are all working hard on getting the product ready. But it will happen.

That's just annoying nonsense though isn't it?

There are reasonable (well 'ok they happen, whatever') causes for delay in open-sourcing something that didn't start out that way, but... Do any of them take more than seconds of developer time? They mean it 'may not happen immediately, because it's stuck in legal', surely?
No you don't hit memory exhaustion. You hit address space exhaustion. There's a difference and it's an important one, because 64-bit architectures don't suffer from this.

Your builds don't need more memory, they need more address space. You can convince me otherwise by enabling PAE and still running into the issue. Until then I stand by my point.
On the other side, VCs want founders who believe. Would YC fund a group that said they had a 10% chance of success, based on YC's own statistics?
My personal favorite "old science" theory: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminiferous_aether

> Luminiferous aether or ether[1] ("luminiferous", meaning "light-bearing") was the postulated medium for the propagation of light.[2] It was invoked to explain the ability of the apparently wave-based light to propagate through empty space, something that waves should not be able to do. The assumption of a spatial plenum of luminiferous aether, rather than a spatial vacuum, provided the theoretical medium that was required by wave theories of light.

> The aether hypothesis was the topic of considerable debate throughout its history, as it required the existence of an invisible and infinite material with no interaction with physical objects.

This is really interesting, because we had a lot of the machinery in place to make accurate observations, but not a lot of the theory to link them together. We've known about sunspots since the Han dynasty and had accurate measurements of its size, distance, and temperature since the mid-1800s when spectroscopy became available.

But it took Einstein himself and the legendary E=MC^2 equation to demonstrate a theoretical source of energy that powers the sun, well into the 20th century.
Not really on topic but this brings up a pain point that I wish more distros addressed. Sane defaults are obviously important and over time what classifies as the "ideal" default config changes. Most package managers seem to apply a default config on the first install and then never update it again.

At least from my experience, the only distro I have used that has offered any facilities in the package manager for handling config updates is Gentoo. Whenever there is a package update, if the default configuration files for the package change during an update, you are notified to run `etc-update`. This command then allows you to diff your current config with the new defaults, choose to use the entire file for the current config or the new default, or patch certain lines from the new default into your existing config.

Personally I find this super convenient, especially because whenever you perform a package update or install it will let you know whether you have any outstanding configuration files or important upgrade notes to address.

I'd be greatly interested to know if other package managers have these types of config and service management utilities. I looked around but I didn't really find anything.

Legendary Dolphins coach Don Shula dies at 90 01:20
(CNN)Don Shula, the longtime Miami Dolphins coach and architect of the only perfect season in NFL history, died at his South Florida home Monday morning, according to the team.

He was 90.
"Don Shula was the patriarch of the Miami Dolphins for 50 years," the team said in a statement. "He brought the winning edge to our franchise and put the Dolphins and the city of Miami in the national sports scene."
Amazon hates him! One weird trick for 10x-ing your way into the 5 hour work week!
We had a guy like that at my old job. He immediately made everyone suspicious. His first day, he constantly asked about security cameras, which doors were locked at night, how valuable everything was etc. He was frequently found in weird places with no explanation, seemed uninterested in anything about his actual job or even beginning to learn why he was there or what his tasks would be, and just generally gave off the vibe of 'was planning some oceans 11 shit' or something. He seemed oblivious to exactly how odd and suspicious he was being. He only lasted a few days, I'm honestly not sure why the boss kept him around that long. Nobody was impressed.

I guess my point is, if your genuine concern is security, definitely make sure you're not coming off like you're planning some grand movie heist.

He was probably one of the oddest people i've worked with, turns out nobody checked his out of province reference and when they finally did, nobody'd ever actually heard of him at his 'previous place of employment' so who knows.

Their ledger is inherently decentralized. It runs without a central operator. Consensus is formed by independent parties.

No international transactions take place between financial institutions, they just change a few lines in their internal database table.

They serve limited cases and their volume is tiny, only 4B a month. They are no way an indication what international transactions cost.

> Even then, Trump's goal was to combat China's policies, not create a long term system of import and export taxes to protect American workers.

Well, if you consider he canceled the adoption of the TPP, the Paris Climate Accord, and negotiated the MCA agreement, I'd say it was a series of long term changes.

Naturally, there's only so much the executive branch can do in isolation.

Unless you are doing a zell pay or similar thing which transfers money from person to person instantly, there is nothing much you can do. Zell pay has daily limit of 2000.

If you want to transfer money to another account, it would take more than 30 mins for the transfer to happen. Buying stocks needs 2/3 days for the settlement or 2/3 days for the transfer to the brokerage account.

Even if you bought something with debit card it takes longer than 30 mins to settle that transaction.

I would just visit a branch and get a cashier's check. Most bang for the buck and there's no limit.
Re left ctrl, btw, it’s possible now to map ctrl to esc. It’ll map both keys though—-the apple interface doesn’t do left/right.

It’s a “simple modification” (specific type) in Karabiner though, if you use that. I use PC mechanical keyboards so most of my typing devices a) have swapped around mod keys and b) map right ctrl to fn so I can do Mac device hotkeys from pc keyboard.

I'll elaborate --

The first one was a large bank doing agile by coercion aka forced sprints to hell

A bunch of diddling directors convinced an airhead VP that it would boost productivity and then they got an army of middling managers who weren't at all invested to do their bidding

I was there for a year raising a fuss until I was let go and some of my code is still running in production

The things I've seen would make your skin crawl as a client of the bank but you've probably seen your fair share estimating points as days was the least of it and this is from people who call themselves university graduates and senior developers

The next was the largest private software company in North America a telecom giant again with the forced agile shit but with a different spin the motto here is 'initiative is punishable' but I just can't picture myself getting old with this tshirted bunch of wannabe googlers I went on the warpath and was personally let go by a VP how many of you coffee2coders have even sat down with a VP much less been sent packing by one?

I got what I wanted out of them though the memories are priceless including trips to California and Vegas the type of shit that being pliable and compliant never nets you

Finally an agency back home a notorious shithole of a ne'er do well agency so full of their own leadership bravado and entitlement that it somehow manages to hoodwink all sorts of rich clients a perennial start-up with no long term vision except selling out I had the distinction of being let go after showing them all up and walked away from the game with a master's in how false conspiracy has ruined software

A lot of us seem to believe we need to check our emotions and enhics at the door but it didn't work in that great war and it won't work here either

If you're going to give people advice, you should be prepared to take at least partial responsibility for what happens when they take that advice.

If a lawyer, doctor, accountant, engineer, or any professional gives you bad or malicious advice, they expose themselves to liability for the results of it. If you want to present yourself as an expert on some topic and expect people to listen to you, put some skin in the game and stand behind what you say. If you can't do that, you shouldn't be advising people on anything.
And if the real world could even hypothetically fulfill such a requirement, you would have had a point.
The comments do matter. Like another person here said: they aren't youtube comments. The FCC comment system is a part of the regulation writing process, and the FCC is required by law to thoroughly consider public comments when making rules. If the FCC ignored almost all genuine comments and knowingly followed the advice of fraudulent comments, it could be grounds for a court to waive Chevron Deference and order the commission to reconsider with a new comment period.

I saw laser-cut prototypes of something similar at Stanford around the med school at some sort of "science fair" ~6 years ago. The cost is mostly the magnifying bead. What's also great, besides being cheap, is that it doesn't need power, packs down quite small, and can work in the field.
