I did the same and my Keiser M3i has been fantastic. Their GitHub repos are current and their lead developer actually answers implementation questions: https://github.com/KeiserCorp

When I'm considering buying a smart device that I'd be uncomfortable throwing away if/when the company ceases support, I ask them beforehand: Is there an open API and/or SDK? Does code or protocol escrow exist? This saved me from buying a smart watch and a smart ring. The manufacturers seemed healthy at the time but were bankrupt or acqui-hired and shut down within a year.
> People like you will be blown out in the future.
> Right now, many Robinhood investors (like you probably are)

First off, I am not a robinhood investor. I've been in the market since 2002, with a significant amount of capital invested now, weathered 2008 and this years Covid action and seen many bear markets. I find the fractional Robinhood "traders" comical and a train wreck waiting to happen. Buying Hertz, Kodak, Nikola.... That ain't me, so don't make assumptions. I have cash on hand, I have large percentage in J.P. Morgan ($JPST) a bond traded ETF which pays a monthly dividend and has a 8% return the last 3 years.
it's not psychological at all. Dividends give you returns that can be reinvested in whatever you want, so it helps with diversification. Now, in the US companies have muddled the field so good dividends don't mean much, but it is still useful to remember this.
They lowered the rates for corona, but they expanded the balance sheet for that overnight lending rate spike before that.

> You have a much more direct impact on the U.S. and making it better than you have on China. Diluting yourself into thinking the U.S. is already essentially "the good guys" prevents you from having the will to actively improve it and over time leads to the fact of it being not as far from China as you'd like.

You’re mistaken, I have little difficulty in acknowledging America’s faults and focusing on improving them. I can simultaneously acknowledge that the US has considerable room for improvement without needing to pretend like our deficiencies are comparable to Chinese deficiencies, and indeed if one’s goal is to encourage Americans to improve, why drag in a China comparison at all? I don’t think Americans need to be diluted into thinking that we are only a little better than China in order to improve; in fact, I don’t think our motivation for improvement should be predicated on a China comparison at all. I think these kinds of nonsense comparisons are an impediment to improvement.
Some interesting info here. I have a Garmin speed sensor and a “dumb” mag trainer (CycleOps Mag). Given the trainers known resistance curve, I was thinking about trying to come up with a script to approximate power based on speed.

Obligatory mention: the Knuth Reward Check. [0]

Singapore is in my opinion the world's scariest dystopia.

There are many dystopias, but few of them are anything but. Nobody moves to North Korea, and the dystopian aspects of other less thoroughly awful places are things everyone complains about and few want to copy.

Singapore is scary because it's a dystopia with many desirable characteristics. It's a dystopia with curb appeal, one that could be sold to people.

The thing about a deal with the devil is that it works. The devil pays out. It only costs you your soul.

As for the absurdly low fertility rate: many creatures refuse to reproduce in zoos. Singapore is a zoo for homo sapiens, a safe environment optimized for every textbook metric of health and built on totalitarianism "with a velvet glove."

> Under ByteDance's new proposal, Microsoft, which also owns professional social media network LinkedIn, will be in charge of protecting all of TikTok's U.S. user data, the sources said. The plan allows for a U.S. company other than Microsoft to take over TikTok in the United States, the sources added.

Interesting. So Microsoft would (eventually) get cloud traffic and user data while the business gets managed by some sort of holding company?

The name is officially "Arm", not "ARM", and that's been the case for exactly 3 years now.
Bloomberg has it correct in the article.
It’s pretty clear the US gvt doesn’t care about the monopolistic practices by big tech, the privacy concerns of TikTok, or that CCP has access to user data. It’s their lack of access to the private user data of this hugely popular app they lack and are after.

Having MSFT buy it means they’ll have a back door to TikTok content immediately just like they do Skype. The US 3 letter agencies have been gunning for this ever since the app blew up, and unlike all the valley apps they have had no access to its user data.

Minimum wage is irrelevant in a discussion about averages. Also, you’re forgetting that increased productivity has led to decreased prices for things that used to be manual labor intensive.

It’s possible to both make less on average (inflation adjusted) and have access to much nicer things. The equivalent computing power of an iPhone would have cost you millions of dollars in 1990. Food is cheaper, any automated manufacturing output is significantly cheaper, etc.

When so many people point something out to you that you think “doesn’t even follow basic logic”, it usually means you’re making a bad assumption somewhere.

Unless a corporation (or cartel) can monopolize an increase in productivity, society will reap the benefits through lower prices even if wages don’t increase. Competitive forces ensure that. If you’re interested in learning more, check out what happened with the mini mills and steel prices.

You don't say much about how much time you want to spend managing your investments. That is an important consideration. On one end of the spectrum, you may have several hours per day to track your portfolio along with market indicators and news -- On the other end, you may not be qualified, or have the time to spend.

No investment advice offered here will be worth anything until you decide where you are on that spectrum.

I’m not sure I really eat rice regularly enough to justify the “expense” of a rice cooker (it was a pretty cheap one, and the only feature is the curie point thing. Works like a charm tho!)

BUT, I’ve gotten a lot of ridicule and pushback from friends and family, as if it’s somehow “cheating“ not to cook your rice in a pot/pan..

These people are all northern europeans... what do they know about rice???

I try to point out how common these appliances are in (at least some) actual rice eating cultures, but they’re usually pretty skeptical about the whole idea.

I’m just happy to get great rice every time!
It's even better than that—closed systems are hackable and vulnerable to cheating, and it's in their peddler's (as opposed to pedallers' …) interest to make sure that you don't know about the vulnerabilities of which they are aware.
TL;DR: Interest rates don't just affect one side of thing. They are tied to all aspects of pricing.

That's very simplistic one-sided view of interest rates. If interest rates stay low or go lower, the stock prices will keep skyrocketing which balances the equation on the other side increasing your stock portfolio returns. The P/E capacity will be much higher than it is today in a perpetual low-interest-rate environment.
The market being efficient means individual stock you picked is priced currently, but you're foregoing the benefit of diversification.
Yes, please.

The original - unencrypted - data from a user, or sensor, pass through encryption layer before going to FHE system.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but to me FHE is purely computational thing - only CPU and RAM are involved, and also operations include input and output data. To prevent the system from learning anything about the data, all operations are of kind

(RAM, encrypted output) = FHE(RAM, encrypted input)

so all data in RAM get there in the encrypted form in the first place. Thus the FHE system never see unencrypted data.

Coming back to an unhackable consumer device - if you measure a physical property, like temperature, or have a digital model of anything - you have to provide this data to FHE system only in the properly encrypted form. That encryption is on the consumer, not on FHE, as well as decryption of results of FHE operations. It's only the processing of data which FHE does.
Thanks for pointing this out, my US-centrism blinded me to it.
Hello there!

Yep, it's some kind of an advertisement, but for an open source project.

I made some experience with parsing command line options when working on an open source traffic simulation named SUMO (http://sumo.dlr.de) and decided to re-code the options library. It works similar to Python's argparse library - the options are defined first, then you may retrieve the values type-aware.

You may find more information on my blog pages: http://krajzewicz.de/blog/command-line-options.php

The library itself is hosted on github:
- cpp-version: https://github.com/dkrajzew/optionslib_cpp
- java-version: https://github.com/dkrajzew/optionslib_java

Sincerely,
Daniel

Is Python the language of choice to teach/learn programming nowadays?

I learned to code with Java like 10 years ago. I haven't touched it again after graduating, and to be honest I was not so fond of the language (too verbose and too much OOP for my taste), but I'm glad I learned the benefits of having static types and a compiler from the start.

Obviously, Python is closer to pseudo code than Java, which is also great when you just start learning.
Importantly its because kids don't want to be a part of the "old" culture. They actively reject entering places with an older established demographic because they want to define their own spaces.

Tiktok by its nature cannot maintain the momentum it has with kids 14-18 now with the kids that are currently 8-12. They will reject it no matter what Tiktok does because thats how kids are conditioned in the west to behave.
Another nice thing about env vars is that they don't appear in the process table, unlike argv. For many applications, that makes them a suitable place to inject secrets, and makes them convenient to inject via wrapper tools.

For instance, the fact that the aws(1) cli tool and the AWS SDKs by default take IAM creds from AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, etc. means that you can write programs like aws-vault (https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault) which can acquire a temporary AWS session and then execute another command with the creds injected in the standard AWS_... env vars. For instance:

aws-vault exec prod-read -- aws s3 ls
aws-vault exec stage-admin -- ./my-script-that-uses-the-aws-sdk-internally

Also, passing arguments as env vars is part of the "12-factor app" design (https://12factor.net/config). That page has some good guidance.
The issue of cheating is genuinely valid one, but so is being able to use the hardware with a variety of software. And in this case, are you sure open APIs are actually in conflict? "Open" doesn't have to mean "forgeable", wouldn't it be possible to have a fully open and documented bike API that also cryptographicly signed output? Software could choose to not care about the signature and just run off the API directly, or to require a signature from a specific set of manufacturer keys, or for that matter both (why not support both casual groups and competitive ones depending on what users want?). Obviously for hardcore competitive types it'd still come down to the security and gameability of the hardware itself, and even if it was fairly solid it'd still mostly be about discouraging lazy cheaters, since as far as home use goes nothing stops someone from attaching an electric motor or something if they really want to screw with things.

But I don't think full open APIs any software can use in this case precludes getting as much security as is possible to get out of the software/electronics side of things. And full open APIs would be super useful for longevity, variety of use, etc.
In some ways, yes; in others, no.

Maybe I was in the wrong parts of Tokyo/Osaka, but I do try to walk all over the place when I travel; there weren't a lot of families going out to eat, or at the malls/shopping areas, or whatever.

However, you'll see train cars full of young kids going to and from school, unsupervised as far as I could tell. There are parks with play equipment all over, and I would run into kids during the day at combinis or 7/11s or whatever being kids. Probably more like what I remember growing up in the 70s was like in the US. I can't imagine a couple dozen third-fourth-fifth graders jumping on a train unsupervised in the US.

A lot more children out riding bikes unsupervised, as well.

I was in Tokyo for the golden week last year; there were lots of kids and parents running around. It might be that Tokyo is an internal tourist destination for that week that skewed my perception, though.
Giving inline SVGs a full green score on “weird failures” isn’t right.

For example, plenty of SVG features, like masks and patterns, use references to ID attributes to compose the effect. If you include multiple inline SVGs on the same page, you now need to make sure that none of them use the same ID for an element, or else your masks can break in unexpected and hard-to-debug ways as some browsers get confused about which element you intended to use as a mask.

If you’re exporting your SVG from a graphics program it’s not unlikely that they’re generating IDs by the same deterministic method on every export, creating such ID collisions that you’re unaware of.
You seem to be pointing at a specific revision and the file doesn't seem to exist anymore in the current version of the repository. I confess I didn't check more than this though.
I asked my oncologists and urologists the same question, and they all gave me the same scripted answer. No one knew if vitamins could help my cancer. No one knew if I could affect my IGF1 levels by diet ("I don't know but I doubt that.").

After this, I worked closely with several surgeons and realized how non-curious most doctors/surgeons are.

We create systems and then train individuals to operate within those systemically flawed organizations. The medical industry is incredibly complicated due to each link in the chain collecting their often exorbitant fees.
One could memorize Applied Cryptography, and still not be qualified to create a new encryption algorithm. That requires advanced education.

Additionally, Applied Cryptography is an outdated (“classic”?) book. It’s most recent introduction clearly states this, and refers the reader to a different book (“Cryptographic Engineering”) for more current information.

Can you give me a bibliography of books readable by a person without an advanced degree, that would teach them how to create brand new, secure fully homomorphic encryption algorithm?

Edit: my spell checker changed “homomorphic” to “homophobic!”
This looks like snoopsnoo ...

Is anyone aware of any third-party project which attempts to audit sum.golang.org (and/or sum.golang.google.cn)?

Its design is similar to that of certificate transparency, in that changes or deletions (e.g. DMCA takedowns or FISA warrants) are supposed to be detectable; see:

https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/master/design/25530-s...

I'm curious if anyone has actually tried to audit it.
Wow no one asked if you have a partner or children or plan to. It isn't clear how old you are, what you want to do with your life, if you have a secure job, if you want to travel, if education is worth it, if you parents/family needs help or if you want to own your own business. Without these things any advice is probably wrong.

How facile to compare the situations of companies "when they follow [China's] rules" and "when they obey US laws" as if they are equivalent.

America is being arbitrary, capricious, and unfair, in contradiction to the neutral and generally applicable law in America. But China's legal system has been arbitrary and capricious for decades, and is rotten to the core, consistently elevating the whims of the ruling party over rights and due process.

To use nonsense numbers: the US is designed to be 0% arbitrary but is being 20% arbitrary here. China is designed to be 90% arbitrary all the time. Clearly means China can keep out all the firms and be virtuous, but when the US keeps out any firms for any reason they're unfair and wicked!
Ah I see, sealioning as below:

Sealioning - A subtle form of trolling involving "bad-faith" questions. You disingenuously frame your conversation as a sincere request to be enlightened, placing the burden of educating you entirely on the other party. If your bait is successful, the other party may engage, painstakingly laying out their logic and evidence in the false hope of helping someone learn. In fact you are attempting to harass or waste the time of the other party, and have no intention of truly entertaining their point of view. Instead, you react to each piece of information by misinterpreting it or requesting further clarification, ad nauseum. The name "sea-lioning" comes from a Wondermark comic strip.

You are asking me to educate you when you could just look at current events. If you're asking me to say "Protest X on Y date led to Z legislation/budget/change" then you know that's impossible, and in fact I can perhaps only think of a handful of times in U.S. history that this could be done. One has to look at the totality of the circumstances. I can confidently say, of course, that none of these changes would have happened without social media awareness leading to protests leading to action, and the social media awareness is close enough in the chain to be considered proximate cause. But, based on your lines of questioning and inquiry in your other comments, I'm guessing nothing will be able to convince you of this. See generally, from the definition of sealioning, "involving 'bad-faith' questions."
Look, much of the purpose of posting things in a public forum is not to directly converse with the person to whom you are replying, but to add something relevant and interesting to third-party readers of the thread.
