If this is basically comparing readings to a map of the Earth's magnetic field, couldn’t they use lidar and a lidar topo map? (I think cruise missiles used some type of map for navigation too).
Of course, current computers are nowhere near capable to try out substantial portion of all 256 bit keys. It requires massive amount of energy and time to perform single bit operation, much larger than kT for room temperature T (several orders of magnitude). Not mentioning costs of trying out the resulting bit sequence for validity as a key. That should be the argument for "256 bit keys are enough".

There isn't any fundamental energy cost imposed by physics here, however. Both because 1) bit flipping can be done in a logically reversible way, just go systematically from 0 to 2^256 - 1 so Landauer's assumptions do not even apply 2) Landauer's idea has been criticized for being vague/badly reasoned. Most weirdly, Landauer assumes that erasure of a bit register in general requires that thermodynamic entropy kln 2 per bit is acquired by the environment. It seems people are confused and can't distinguish information entropy and thermodynamic entropy here. In real computers, erasure of bit register decreases information entropy by kln 2 and increases thermodynamic entropy (by HW-specific amount) associated with the register. These are two different kinds of entropies.

In short, real world energy costs are far higher than Landauer's limit due to current tech limitations, and possible energy cost savings in the future aren't hard limited by Landauer's limit at all. Landauer's idea is simply too problematic. Don't rely on it for any argument about real world.

Finally, don't learn physics from computer science guys, even if their name is Bruce Schneier. Just as you wouldn't learn computer science from physics experts.
Suppose the data is accessed by one employee who routinely accesses data of this sort for legitimate purposes — but the employee takes a copy of the data (even just a summary) and sneakernets it over to the in-house brands.

How can this attack vector be mitigated?

This isn't true. Josiah Zayner and a few others have been teaching how to make and self-administer a DNA vaccine. Justin Atkin and a group of others used the same sort of vaccine on themselves as well.

There are definitely other groups that have given themselves vaccines of their own creation.

This workflow is still so complex to get right. Really excited to see more tools for it and try it out ourselves!

At visitorX we're building a fairly large bank of comments and a tagging system and Humanloop looks really great for that.
You're agreeing with their point with good evidence. Whatever set of metrics or filters are used to identify 'poor' needs to vary based on the context of the conversation. I think most metrics have been left as is for decades to have consistent reporting like how we can say 'Poverty has fallen X% in [COUNTRY] since [20 years ago]'

But that doesn't give a fair view for all nations. Food insecurity is a metric that would quickly show poor improvement over decades, at least compared to current metrics. Maybe access to affordable housing, water, power, and other items on the first 2 level of Maslow's Hierarchy would work better.

In the end, we may learn a lot about 'first world' economies like the US and the areas failed by capitalism. I think many of the metrics pulled out could be used to argue either way Numbers on food insecurity could be spun as "We need to fund and support our citizens and make this better" or "Look how far ahead we are so do nothing or cut programs to save money!"
Zhuyin is just another way to input Chinese phonetically, so it requires the same feedback mechanism to choose the correct character. You're probably thinking of Cangjie, which was designed to have a unique code for each character, so theoretically it doesn't require feedback but modern implementations seem to have it anyway.
They are probably using A[19] as chip select for one device, A[18] for a different one, etc.

So if you read from 0x000c0000, you get a conflict.

I wouldn't call it a bug if it's done deliberately to save some gates. :-)
We were taught on the newer Coldfire processors which use a modified m68k instruction set.

I never understood the reason for the split address and data registers, it also seemed like the address registers had a few bits intended for segmentation?

Anyone know the rationale behind the split address vs data registers design and architecture? Most other instruction sets use the same registers for both data and addressing, what advantage do specialized address registers give.
The obvious comparison is that American tech companies are forced to do almost exactly that in China. The absence of reciprocity is foolishness.
Such as what? I literally can’t think of a single Kirkland branded item that doesn’t have a name brand right next to it. Toilet paper, water, dog food, clothing, spices, oil, nuts, etc.

That's about the only way to do it, but it's still a relatively easy barrier to get over in my experience (I can't speak to finance).

I work in a heavily regulated industry as well with clear "firewalls" between different groups. You're basically relying on the company's own good faith and fear of being punishment to actually enforce it. And the chance of it being discovered is very low as long as it's not a formal process within the company.
Communists have never been a practical opposition to fascists except in that they competed for the same thing - absolute power over everyone and anything.

You know Nazis were actually socialists, right? The economic order of Nazi Germany was practically identical to that of Soviet Union.
Are we reading the same comment?

>Instead of buying a 20-pack of $necessary_product that costs $20 and will last for months, the lower class buy a 2-pack that costs $5 and lasts a couple weeks because they need the $15 to pay rent.

That directly implies that if they could be lent the $15, they could get the long term cheaper option and save money, even if they had to pay it back plus a high APR.
Not really. In Soviet Union it was possible to have connection to the outside world only in case you were completely trusted (checked by KGB many times).
No one was prosecuted in SU for unauthorized access to western computer resources because they had not a single chance to get it without state permission.
> In practice communism is an idealogy that led to the death of 60 million people, to the imprisonment of millions, and destroyed uncountable lives - all around the world, consistently, within different cultures, jurisdictions, legal systems. While I see your point and agree that the current state of things is not okay, to conclude that communism is the solution is IMHO incredibly naive, sad, and outraging.

This paints such a reductive picture of what went wrong in the development of the Soviet Union. Clearly the answer to why the Stalinist turn happened is more complicated and historically contingent than the paragraph description of communism I pasted above.

Also, I don't know where you're getting this number from, but I'm sure the number is at least as high for liberal capitalist nations (counting up World War I, the slave trade, European and American imperialism more generally, the US's ongoing wars, etc.). And if you weren't aware, the US currently imprisons more people per capita and in absolute terms than any other country.

I clarify my point about sushi going through China. In the Takamiya's paper, one of the links above, the author discussed the Ocean Road hypothesis. I agree with this hypothesis. It'd be difficult for the food culture to propagate through land. It'd have to pass Northern China which is not much of a rice culture. Japan likely traded with Southern China and South East Asia through sea routes.

Rice arrived to Japan thousands of years ago. At the time, Southern China is not part of present day China. The Baiyue people were good naval navigators. They probably traded with Japan and South East Asia. Saying sushi got to Japan through China is misleading. People would think that sushi travelled through China land to Japan.

They should refund half of the 30% to pay for their costs and whatever, like a handling service. Unfortunately that still means the seller is paying for returns, but Apple probably is legally required in most countries to refund the buyer fully, what do I know.
Wait so.

I refund your app and get $10 back. Is Apple taking $10 from the developer to give to me?

Literally the first google result for "antifa communist": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifaschistische_Aktion

> Antifaschistische Aktion (German: [ˌantifaˈʃɪstɪʃə ʔakˈtsi̯oːn]), commonly known under its abbreviation Antifa (German: [ˈantifaː]), was a militant anti-fascist organisation in the Weimar Republic started by members of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) that existed from 1932 to 1933.

In response to what you said about Nazism, communism was the principal political opponent of Nazism in Germany and leftists of all stripes were killed along with Jews, Roma, people with disabilities etc. It takes about 2 seconds of reading to learn this. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism#Anti-communism:

> The Nazis claimed that communism was dangerous to the well-being of nations because of its intention to dissolve private property... In Mein Kampf, Hitler stated his desire to "make war upon the Marxist principle that all men are equal."... Four thousand KPD officials were arrested in February 1933, and by the end of the year 130,000 communists had been sent to concentration camps.
Same here. This is why our (general public) voices are overshadowed by those of politically motivated people and bots on social media.

There are huge debates at Google internally over required vs optional in proto2 and proto3.

Beyond that I think you’re operating from a misconception about JSON parsing in static languages. There’s no requirement to convert to domain objects and reject data that doesn’t fit on a triviality, you’re just required to specify explicitly what happens when you encounter unexpected structure or data.
Long time database person here (~20yrs), probably very much akin to the "Application DBA" in the article.

The solve some classes of performance related issues, especially if you're joining to certain kinds of group-by sub-queries or need to join on the output of a function. If your surrounding query is defining the constraints, you can push that into otherwise unconstrained sub-queries.

There was a minor learning curve, it took me a couple hours for it to be worked into my default mindset. In the end, wonderful technique that can save dropping into procedural code in any number of cases. The biggest danger is that it is a kind of iteration and where the performance can be greatly enhanced in say OLTP style queries, but it may not be a net gain in larger unconstrained queries that will cause that sub-query or function to get hit many times... I think getting that into your head is the larger part and the declarative nature of SQL will cause that to be a little outside of your vision no matter your background.

I'm honestly intrigued as to how this is so morally unambiguous.

Walmart, any-given-supermarket, Costco, etc., have in-house brands (for example Kirkland with Costco). These became prominent in the 90's and there was similar discussion at the time about the ethics of a supermarket introducing competitors to the brands it stocks. Such controversy has died down and now it is commonplace. Looking at some updated articles, in-house brands at those retailers have in many (most?) cases outsold their branded competitors, so in-house brands like Kirkland are actually the largest brands in the country.

So my question is: what makes Amazon different, behaviorally, than Costco, Walmart, Vons, etc.? Both use an (arguably) unfair data asymmetry to introduce in-house branded products to compete with the external brands they also sell. You then have brands like Trader Joe's that go out of their way to have an in-house brand, and make few exceptions.

On open question is: who is this behavior actually hostile to? I think it's now conventional wisdom that if you're a brand selling in Vons or Trader Joe's that you need some special sauce to compete successfully with an inevitably-introduced in-house brand. So what is that special sauce? You have some brands that are exclusive because of their provenance or method of creation (say, a particular Scotch). But then you have many brands that are actually manufactured in the same locations and by the same people as the in-house brands, wherein the brand itself is a middleman who created a particular formulation or price/materials ratio that may or may not be the best one. These would seem to be the most vulnerable to Amazon building an in-house competitor, or Walmart, or Vons, etc.

I suppose, looking for the other side of the argument, that the question would be if Amazon has so much monopolistic market clout that the third party has no way to exist once the in house brand has taken over. E.g. as though Costco were the only supermarket period, or, more accurately, if Trader Joe's were the only supermarket period.
Honestly I saw a headline earlier today using Mackenzie Scott, and I had no idea who that was until I saw this post on hackernews. My only reaction was - "Who's Mackenzie Scott? Well, thats good whoever she is". Now I know who she is
> often times Costco's Kirkland branded item is made by the same supplier as the adjacent name brand.

That's true for basically all store brands including Amazon Basics.
The memory map hurts.

68000 doesn't have a vector base register like 010+. Instead, the vector base is always 0x0, which here is in ROM, which is too much of a restriction. Installing a 010 instead should allow for getting around this.

Also blatantly missing is a NMI switch.

Still, it always makes me happy when I see open SBC designs based on the 68k family. Retrobrew[0] has a bunch of them, and they are less restrictive, or use 030 instead of 000/010.

Interesting idea. The only issue I see with that is that you now have two orthogonal problems: a Starship to get into Mars orbit and back to Earth orbit and a lander capable of landing on Mars and returning to Mars orbit.

Had SpaceX not cancelled their Red Dragon project, they wouldn't even have needed Starship for Mars sample return. NASA should have funded that back in 2014 - there would have been a sample return vehicle today and ready for launch two years from now...
On Costco, it’s not a marketplace for third party sellers to ship to customers. Sure it’s closer to us to make analogies with traditional brands, but Amazon’s position is nothing similar.

Then, the difference between business as usual and market power abuse is the extent to which you do something. The same way annoying someone and bullying is a matter of degree. Here being in a dominant position Is what makes it different.
Well, you should have a little concern. On my switch, I can buy games either digitally or physically for just about the same price. I buy most games physically, as one cannot guarantee the server that downloads games will work in 10 years (my Wii doesn't do this type of stuff now, but its less integral).

Pretty much any online game will be shut down, its just a case of when.
Yeah, and so what? They wanted to replace one dystopia with another, at least as bad one. Should I applaud them? As I said, it never was a practical opposition because all their difference was in that the communists weren't racists (but were nationalist too), but they were just as populist and the proposed economic order was also the same.

I am not sure where you live, but if you are from the former eastern bloc like me, it's very likely your family lost someone and had people imprisoned and unable to study highschool because of communism. Hitler would be happy the communists finished his job!

In Brazil it's definitively a group thing, specially families. Friday night is pizza night in a lot of homes. I left Brazil 7 years ago so maybe some things have changed, but never once I have ordered a "smaller" pizza for personal consumption.

Historically communists were allied with the fascists and launched a joint invasion of Poland with them while providing them with trainload after trainload of supplies.

In Italy the communists literally became the fascists, Mussolini was a high-ranking member of the Italian Socialist Party.
And then hope that it's reply won't be "yo be real".
Kirkland products are actually white label versions of the products they copy, produced by the company they are copying - so it’s an entirely different situation - ie Costco is paying brands for their products (albeit at a lower price), not stealing.

I think this is one of those cases where the most correct answer is simply "yes".
Realistically, the guards were put there to halt the transfer of people, goods, and currency: to be the physical manifestation of a hard border. Although, the motivation for this border (who it benefits, is it to keep "others" out vs "us" in) was a dynamic concept that evolved over time.

However, if you integrate the motivation function over the entire time of separation, which is one way of reducing the complexity, the primary result is to keep easterners from escaping. In the early days of widening division, there was a mass migration of people fleeing "The East"; each person carried a multitude of reasons for their flight. One effect of the border was to halt this flow.
