> Sure you can have that with `unsafe`

The parent was talking about the borrow checker so I only was talking about safe Rust code. Obviously if you consider that the entire C/C++ codebase is in a big unsafe {} block it'll work... because it won't do anything at all.
That's not what the broken window fallacy is though. It references the idea that breaking a window generates economic activity which is good for everyone.
The basic income study included 2500 participants + the control group.
Oh, certainly! I meant that the worst case under-30 IFR - the one corresponding with something like 5% overall IFR - is around 0.1%. Something like 0.01% is easily within the bounds of possibility from what I understand. (For reference, the death rate for SCUBA divers is ~16/100,000/year - or 0.016%/year. Yes, SCUBA is risky, but it certainly puts things in perspective)
> If you wanted to make it more meritocratic the populations with lowest IQ would actually be worse off, unless you also increase the minimal living standards.

I agree with this. I'm not sure that making economies more "meritocratic" is necessarily the only solution we have when confronting larger structures that perpetuate inequality. Even if it were, It'd be important to know who or what quantifies "merit." If it is impersonal market forces, the same unjust social systems will still eventually develop as certain families, classes, and countries entrench their economic development to solidify and secure an advantage down the line.
Clearly you never tried the original Firefox for Android, which was XUL-based. It was unusable.

I remember trying it on my Nexus One, back when that phone was hot shit. Constant full-screen checkerboarding.

Mozilla literally had to rewrite Firefox for Android and eliminate XUL from the Android version before it became a usable product.

>>Is the DoD not subject to FCC regulation?

That is complex, but most likely no. Like the FAA they largely respect the civilian agencies but ultimately they exist outside of that civilian regulation

>>Are there multiple bands that different types of GPS signals use (civilian vs military)?

Yes the military GPS is different from the Civilian GPS, the US DOD has the ability in a time of war to cut off Civilian access to the GPS Network where only US military (and approved Allies) receivers will work. This is one (of many) reasons the EU, Russia and China all have their own GPS systems

>>How could any sane human approve an interference with this traffic?

While I do not know if I agree (have not read enough on the interference to form a definitive opinion) the supporters of the new network claim there will not be any meaningful interference, that the DoD is over reacting and if there is Interference they will be required to replace the equipment..
I guess maybe it’s worth remembering that even if someone is an enemy it is in conflict with you, nobody thinks they are “the bad guy”.

If you want to understand why someone does what they do, you can’t chalk it up just to “they’re evil” or “they’re crazy”. There’s some reason why they’re doing what they do and to them, they feel like they’re on the right side.

Hmm, I actually got an idea from your comment and the other comment suggesting to off-load the comments to a social site such as HN or Twitter: maybe instead of hosting the comments yourself, you just have a script that automatically aggregates comments from multiple sites and displays them on your site. I am not sure this is allowed by the Twitter/HN terms of use though.

I think lots of people were interested in the idea of such a project.

Because cable advertising sales reps take you out to lunch, give you box seat tickets to NFL games, and create all of your reports for you. Which is even easier.

Also, some people measure their self worth on the size of their company's ad budget. And those same people tend to have stupid amounts of money compared to their childhood peer groups.

So buying ads is like adding a set of metal balls to a truck hitch. Revenue was never the point.

Also, a lot of entrepreneurs have short attention spans and constantly change things out of fear, taking it from easy to do well to impossible to know.

It looks like keybase has morphed since I've last looked at it. I recall its primary function being that of a Web of Trust-like system for different public keys and addresses.

> Does Handshake have chat, chat room, and team chat functionality too?

That said, with additional tools, Handshake also improves end to end encryption services since you can actually place fingerprints/certificates on the blockchain so you can actually verify these instead of just 'hitting yes' like most people appear to do when using e2e chat applications.

As a bonus, it also improves web security since there are hundreds of actors who can generate 'valid' certificates today. This becomes impossible with Handshake.

Again, 1950's thinking. Most things are automated now. There's only 13M factory workers left in America vs 20M+ in the 70's, and population has doubled since then. So maybe 20% what there used to be. All that due to automation. And what's left is being automated as fast as humanly possible.

After that, we're gonna have a big slug of people out of work, lots of relatively cheap goods, and a few very rich who own most of the factories. How is this gonna play out?

In the best scenario, we go on to a bright future of little work necessary for everyone.

Or, we blame those folks for being 'out of work', let them suffer and die.

The bankrupt notion that somehow 'were funding those people' is meaningless. The factories pour out the goods. Nobody's slaving away to 'fund' that. This is the notion we have to get thru everybody's head.

Shame, some genuinely descent ideas in terms of building science and urban design. 11/10 chance the technology elements would have gone the way of the Google Grave yard after 10years, but at least it will leave a set of interesting buildings to draw lessons from. Now nothing. Lots will stay empty or be filled with generic condo developments with questionable longevity. The Google branding and Silicon Valley outreach style didn't help. Simultaneously, the inability for western societies to at least entertain rapid urban experiments is going to backfire. I'm not a big fan of Google, but they have fuck you resources and at least tried to direct it in prosocial designs with the expected cost of privacy. If they can't succeed in Toronto then it doesn't bode well for anyone else.
Conventional wisdom says this would reduce the value of the USD against other currencies and that would in turn cause foreign investors to cash out. For other currencies that all seems pretty reasonable, investors would be crazy not to go to another currency.

For the USD where you have excess capital imports which aren't offset by corresponding goods, materials or services exports (e.g. the USA buys products from China then China gives the money earned back to the USA in exchange for treasury bills) then what does it mean for China to cash out?

>> We would be the richest country in the world by far

Confusingly, as a nation you wouldn't be richer or poorer and a persons buying power wouldn't change much. This is a long way to say that printing money isn't the right lever to pull to make everyone richer.

>> poverty would be solved

Poverty is only partly a money supply issue, you'd need to fix the other problems that cause poverty too otherwise you'd have limited effect.
Not necessarily the reason here, but to answer your question: "would there be any other reason?"

Another reason is backend constraints. Adding another server might simply cause more pressure on backend systems like a database. So they can't simply add more servers, as then the additional load on the database might cause that to crash, and result in even longer downtime.
I think this works well for people who are interested in both Haskell and hardware design. The syntax is pretty nutty if you're just a hardware designer, but it's ultimately a language embedded in Haskell, so it has the friction of having to be embedded but the benefit of the Haskell ecosystem. I don't think it'll see super wide adoption, but imagine it will have its uses and fans.
That's the main point of Nuxt. You look at the URL and find the page component without going through the routes file. In case that doesn't work for you, you can use `extendRoutes` for dynamic use-cases.
I read it, and besides one paragraph (which presents a straw man) it has nothing to do with whether IQ is a psuedoscientific swindle and everything to do with whether eugenicists used IQ.
I think he mentioned that it must be 1 thing, no dependency, imagine he is already using soem other backend and now he has to switch to Drupal for a good Dratagrid and tomorrow when he needs a rich text editor he needs to switch to Wordpress and the new day when he needs a decent chart he has to use GWT.

The ideal is that Web Technology would have built-in or if not community made building blocks. If made by community it must have no licensing issue, no dependency hell, no 100 alternatives for each widget. In my experience jQuery UI is the one that got close to this. You had only 1 dependency on jQuery, the community was not fragmented to have 100 alternatives for each thing and the included widgets are not incomplete.
Isn't it very similar to something Clang has had for years?
> If you wanted to make it more meritocratic the populations with lowest IQ would actually be worse off, unless you also increase the minimal living standards.

If you're talking about people who have some kind of mental handicap, then this is accurate, but I'm skeptical it will be meaningfully different for people with close to average intelligence or higher, because the effect of IQ will be dwarfed by other differences like how hard they work or how much they delay gratification and save.

It should probably just default the s-box to all zeroes or some other method of deriving it ex-nihilo, but a default is practical just so you don't need to synchronize s-boxes between uses.

I would imagine anyone interested in using this for serious business™ would start with a new s-box hierarchy.

That's a tiny minority of users. And that sort of user probably has an old, slow computer which is crushed under the weight of your vast javascript framework, anyway.

Whatever about a _better_ experience (some subjectivity there, though I don't really buy it) I'm pretty sure the modern web isn't a _faster_ experience for most users than it was a decade ago.
> Everything is political! Everything.

I think what you might be saying is something like, "politics is a fundamental part of human behavior, so all things human must at least be scrutinized through a political lens". Which is probably true. But I can also point out that gut flora are part of being human, so human interaction must be at least glanced at through a gastrointestinal lens. And to some extent, that's true as well; those microbes do influence behavior in surprising ways.

Even a though the political lens has non-zero utility in practically any case, it's still not sufficient to explain the physics of our world or even all of human behavior. There's a little red in any real-world colored object, but everything is not red.

It's in the military's interest to limit the freedom and empowerment of the public as much as possible. I would take their opinions with a grain of salt.

Well, I continue to ask myself what the advantage should be, if there are synthesizable subsets for more and more programming languages, to be able to develop hardware with them. The people who absolutely want to use a functional programming language for this can already use e.g. Chisel or SpinalHDL, for example, which are based on Scala. So now there is yet another HDL based on Haskell (don't forget e.g. Bluespec). There are also HDL based on OCaml or ML. But I think it is not wrong to assume that the task of developing error free hardware hasn't become easier hence.

Deja vu. I think you totally hit the nail on the head with that last paragraph. On-premise ERP systems probably only make real sense for (non-small) companies that wish to avoid relying on the internet (because e.g. their business strategy requires that freedom) and can hire long-term sysadmins/programmers that can provide support to those systems.
i wish this wasn't flagged because even though taleb is wrong, the discussion is useful

I'll admit that I gave up reading the article (due to its invective) and skimmed the rest of it, but I don't recall there being much in the way of firm, mathematical arguments for his arguments, instead being a lot of "look, this correlates! look this correlates! clearly I'm right!" (along with mocking various groups of people).

So it's not a question of being competent to evaluate the arguments, but rather having the patience to actually find the arguments (should they exist) in the article.

Indeed, the DOD can do pretty much what they like regardless of what the FCC says. Of course, it all works better if everybody stays in their own sandbox, so the DOD does, by-and-large.

In general, government frequency allocations and usage are coordinated by the NTIA Office of Spectrum Management. But here again, the NTIA OSM negotiates with the DOD, they can't enforce anything on the DOD.
This is a good point.

But I do think that company values do change.

Zoom is getting the shining light of attention globally. Even human beings, in these situations, start to act more conscientiously, and then believe their own morality after the fact!

I believe the keybase acquisition demonstrates this a bit - because they will get zero public goodwill from this - nobody on Main St. knows are cares what Keybase is, this won't be on CNN so they are probably very much trying to make things better.

Owners of the company want money - now they are popular, they have to behave well to get that money. Wanting money usually transcends everything else including loyalty to state. A Chinese CEO with a popular Western product is going to realize that if his customers are way for CCP grabbing their data, it's a problem to his business. He doesn't want CCP snooping and one of the better ways to do that is to have better encryption as well.

Doing slightly suspicious things doesn't matter if nobody is watching and therefore nobody cares, now that people care ... it matters. Just as a matter of pragmatism.
