Yes, exactly, perfectly secure steganography would be like a philosopher's stone of perfect compression for the underlying media. If you want to send something steganographically, you just encrypt it and then "decompress" the ciphertext into a cover message. The alternative--the channel oracle concept--is a non-starter for arguing real-world security because it assumes that one can efficiently draw repeated independent samples from some arbitrary "history" of the channel, which is like saying you can pause time and take as many photographs of a particular scene as you want, each with its own random observed quantum states, before deciding which picture to post to facebook.

The way around all this, of course, is to just communicate over an encrypted channel, which is exactly what Tor and other censorship circumvention systems do. But even then you have to rely on unprovable statements about the plausibility of the fact that you are using a secure channel under the given circumstances, or about the inevitable leakage from the particular implementation of the channel.

This is actually exactly my current line of research: building a better framework for separating the components of real-world steganographic systems into the parts which can be proven secure, and the parts which cannot. Your last statement does a surprisingly good job of capturing why arguing the security of steganography is so hard: information-theoretically, there is no way to prove that some observation in nature has zero mutual information with some other observation. The entire field of machine learning is devoted to finding signals in massive piles of seemingly meaningless noise, and any real instantiation of a stegosystem will inevitably make some noise that could, under the right circumstances, be detectable.
This helps control evaporation losses as well, the water flow in canals is more predictable which helps. Also there is a great potential for floating solar especially behind existing hydro as the grid infrastructure almost exists.

I mean, you don't have to take his opinion seriously, or more importantly, as a final answer to the issue of addiction.

I personally don't think that just because he's a journalist without those backgrounds, that he's not capable of learning and presenting truth in those spaces—I see a lot of value in journalistic skills of investigation and interdisciplinary exploration. That being said, it doesn't necessarily mean he's right or that he's not exaggerating or oversimplifying.

I found the podcast episode to be quite compelling to get me more interested in looking up other sources to see whether they agree with him, or if they differ, and in which ways. Even you posting this, questioning his credibility, inspired me to search a bit of what people with more experience in directly related scientific fields have said. Some have questioned whether the studies done with rats extrapolate to humans, some have questioned his seeming disapproval of antidepressants, and more.

I guess it just depends on who and what you trust to give you the truth about this issue. I found the interview illuminating, but that doesn't mean you would or should.

One guy was dual citizenship costa rica ( the ALLEGED darknet/bitcoin drug dealer ), and U.S.A., the other was a costa rican citizen ( the pharmacist ALLEGED to be selling the opioids )

The charges were "conspiring with persons to distribute controlled substances, distribution of controlled substances, conspiring with persons to import controlled substances, conspiring to launder money, and laundering of monetary instruments"

I'm pretty sure money laundering, illegally purchasing narcotics, packaging and shipping same internationally are all crimes even in costa rica?

I'm all for tempering goverment oversight, but c'mon... they were ALLEGED drug dealers, and by world standards at least if they get extradited to the USA they might stand trial -- I can think of a few countries where they would just be summarily executed...

"It is very important to understand the following point. Probability theory always gives us the estimates that are justified by the information that was actually used in the calculation. Generally, a person who has more relevant information will be able to do a different (more complicated) calculation, leading to better estimates. But of course, this presupposes that the extra information is actually true. If one puts false information into a probability calculation, then the probability theory will give optimal estimates based on false information: these could be very misleading. The onus is always on the user to tell the truth and nothing but the truth; probability theory has no safety device to detect falsehoods."

Some envelope math. From https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=74&t=11 , I get .99 pounds of CO2 per kWh. That converts to 449 grams. Splitting the difference between 1.2g and 3.6g, we get 2.4g. 2.4/449= 0.00534 or ~0.53% of 1 kWh consumed, or 5.3 watt-hours. Which does strike me as rather high.
I think each solution brings something different to the table. I've tried Foam but not Memo and here are my thoughts (disclaimer: I'm the author of Dendron so have some bias here)

0. foam pieces together a bunch of different plugins to create a markdown note taking experience. it's highly flexible and as the creator has said (https://github.com/svsool/vscode-memo/issues/9#issuecomment-...), is currently a testing ground for many different ideas.

1. dendron is a highly opinonated note taking tool that focuses on "structured note taking". it supports arbitrary links between notes while also organizing notes into canonical hierarchies. these hierarchies can be enforced by schemas, an optional type system for notes, that guide what notes hierarchies accept. dendron is all about letting you work with notes at scale - I created it to handle my personal knowledge base of 20k markdown notes.

2. memo i've never heard of until now. it seems like it provides a 'roam' like experience inside vscode. the gifs look great and will definitely play around with it.
I like this, as scientists need hypotheses to test and often those can come from non-scientists. I wonder how many of our scientific discoveries have come from suggestions (or bold statements) from people in other fields. Sure, many may prove to be false, but I like how you've framed it as a novel opinion that could spur further research into a topic.

What is science, if not a never-ending quest to learn more about the universe?

of course it does nothing to stop it, because you start your scenario after the stop has been made. you don't know the ip of the lan machine. the public machine receiving it's outbound packet doesn't either.

but here's your simple test for the home of why nat helps with security.

take a winxp machine. connect it to your lan. come back tomorrow. it's not infected.

now connect it to the wan and wait about 2 minutes. you have several viruses.

then, go back here, and tell us how despite nat protecting you from viruses, it does not.

then we'll all laugh.

you lock your door. but a guy can pick the lock. so why do you lock it?

in the real world, nat adds security. wep for wifi is enough security for your home lan. and dvd encryption works for preventing copying. just like your house key. by reducing the attack surface by 99%.

but i know i won't convince you, so stay with your opinion. but apply it also to vaccines.

> I believe that a phone is the superior device since you can communicate the severity of your emergency to emergency services and they can respond accordingly.

Agreed -- if you're able to get cell reception, and the emergency is not life-or-death time critical, you should try using the phone first.

> I’d like to read more about this if you have some links:

> > ”now rescue organizations all over the planet are asking you to please...carry a goddamn PLB”

Basically, the search part is really really expensive and time consuming for rescue organizations. You need a lot of man power and a lot of fuel, and the search can go on for days, and you may not even be sure that the person is in the area where you're looking.

If you can eliminate that part, all that's left is a direct flight to the location. It can be done quickly and relatively inexpensively, and is an easy win for both the rescue organization and the parent government (deaths and called-off rescue operations can be politically expensive).
It's really not when you consider what else you have to do to accept payments from other providers. Do you research.

Starting with scheme for most people I talk to seems to follow a similar path: start with one implementation. Write some code. Try it in another scheme. Discover r6rs. Either like it and switch to chez or guile or keep using whatever it was you are using.

I have a pretty small data set (5 people) and three of them are guile users.

Scheme is however willfully underspecified, whereas most other languages lack specifications of even a proper base language (except for code). Implementing scheme is pretty easy apart from continuations and macro hygiene, but those parts are very well specified somat least you know what you are aiming for.

Ask HN: How was this 30 mil views video generated?

The creator has 30 million combined views for this type of video, which is their only type of video. No other video on youtube seems to do anything similar. I'm most interested in how they generated the sine wave to be played. Does anyone know how they achieved it?
Actually, you should say:

"Massive indirect unguided subsidies of money by the government."

Where the government does something directly, the results can be good. Look at Medicaid, which is generally thought to be the most cost effective form of health insurance that exists in the USA. The government overseas that directly.

But everywhere the government tries to offer end consumers a subsidy, so they can then try to use it toward some social goal, the result seems to be inflation.
Let's dissect this a little bit...

> I have been spat on called a "white cunt" ... for just sitting on a bus doing nothing.

I am sorry that happened to you, that sucks.

> by a person of color

If that person was incited to attack you because of something they read online, would this world be better if those websites did not exist? Or at least, if they were not returned as search results in Google? I think the answer to that is yes.

> However, black people can't be racist.

Everyone can be racist regardless of race.

> And all white people are racist.

It is stupid to deny that being a racist was normal and socially accepted until just few decades ago, and that a portion of the population today do not agree with desegregation, and do not agree with diversity. Are those the majority? No, but they do exist and their numbers are significant enough to be a problem.

> I should have been born to parents of different skin color. Then no matter what I did I wouldn't be a racist.

Yes. I once calculated that AWS is the fastest ever b2b in history. Only marginally slower than FB, which is a consumer business (and the fastest ever).

One more thing I'd like to mention in this context: ask 100 people why AWS has been so successful.

Think of your answer.

My answer (6 years at AWS; met with ~5,000 AWS customers, so big data set): lowest barrier of entry (swipe credit card, EC2 is up in 2-3 minutes), and lowest barrier of pausing the service (and the billing).

Most people would say any other thing, but not this one. In fact, EC2, S2, EBS were initially quite bad, in terms of performance or price/quality, compared to pretty much anything out there. But you needed 2 minutes to spin up an EC2 instance, vs 2-3 weeks anywhere else.
It lessens it for the author because they're looking for validation from someone in some type of way, the same way the breakfast people do. If you're content being someone that needs validation from other people for your actions, then sure, it doesn't lessen it for them.

Calling an article from the Cato Institute, which was published in the Washington Examiner (you know, the same one that published op-eds claiming that most climate models are worthless, by an author who received hundreds of thousands of dollars in fossil fuel company money?) is hardly a less-biased source. And the author's own funding is hardly independent and unbiased.

Lack of money for pens and paper is not fake. I'll link a few articles below to help you, just from this year, but it's not. I mean, it's just not. That's the reality of public schools. I don't know how else to convince you. Feel free to Google News or DDG "lack of school supplies" and you'll hit a ton of additional links from all over the country [1][2][3].

In any case, your last couple paragraphs are getting a little of base, but yeah, it boils my blood to see that much money spent on football stadiums too. No argument there. Yes, programs for the gifted and high-achieving are needed as well. But refusing to get kids the basics of what they need to even start being successful simply because they come from a poor family isn't just unethical, it prevents kids who would otherwise being high-achievers from even getting in the race. That cuts society off at the knees.

Fair enough! I had forgotten about that. The site made it to the #1 spot on HN one day and I must have added it then because I was curious about the traffic.

Come to think of it, I vaguely remember using my web host’s built in editor to do that which felt like it dated back to the 90s as well.
Very unlikely. They could if you go to MS or GCP or VMware. Note that some people might know stories about it, but most of these people wouldn't be able to talk about it.
Thats very illogical since there is no acceptance criteria or review of books on Amazon.

Ignoring that the DACH region only has ~100 million people and that if every last man woman and child were monthly FF users it still wouldn't be half of 210 million users... according to Mozilla's own stats at https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity
regional MAU is:

10M Brazil

13M China

12M France

20M Germany

12M India

9M Indonesia

6M Italy

7M Poland

7M Russia

30M United States

It's honestly a bit frustrating how even on HN everyone thinks they know who around the world uses something more than the actual public data on it. On one hand you have people insisting the data is missing huge swaths of people and on the other you have people insisting a region has over half the users when that would be less than half the users according to the very data the other person is trying to say is missing lots of people!

> Determinants are kind of abstract and even inelegant.

No they really aren't. Determinants represent the change in volume in a transformation.

> Ideally [determinants] would not be taught at all, but it's useful for doing exam problems.

This is outright ignorant and wrong. Determinants are fundamental to a myriad of central concepts in calculus and also in engineering fields. For instance, volume integrals or any integral over a parametrization rely on determinants.
TL;DR (not necessarily from the article, but from various sources):

- Jio is basically a monopoly

- It prints an absurd amount of money

- It's only "tech" because it can essentially control the smartphone market in India (INSANELY HUGE GROWTH)

- Ambani is the most powerful man in India, but also was over-leveraged on his oil business and needs capital for growth. He wants more global control/influence and US tech companies want more control over India. It's a win-win for both.

- $100B in 5 years is probably a lowball figure

In other words, imagine Google, AT&T, and WeChat all controlled by one company in one of the largest potential GDPs in the world.
I am the same; what helps me is being very cognizant of how I feel after over-indulging in Reddit or HN and how I feel after some exercise/time spent outside/watching a good documentary.

Well, water is relatively cheap, if your "community" can produce and sell high-value stuff, like "art". They sell bells, for example [0].

Not enough, I'd guess, but you could afford basic water and food if you can sell something else at a high enough price.

Would be curious which site that was and if it falls into the target demographic stuff mentioned.

Also to note the above % for FF share isn't just from 3rd party analytics anyways, places like Wikimedia report similar numbers. Different services different amounts but again, target demographic usually and not by much unless it's extremely tech niche or something.
I strongly recommend https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools to solve this. It provides a simple script to take a requirements file and "compile" a full specification of all transitive dependencies. You check both files into the repo, point pip at the generated file, and manually modify the other one. It means you often don't need to pin requirements manually at all, and the versions will be explicitly updated whenever you choose to recompile your requirements.

I get your point, but don't be too down on yourself. Nobody is running around the Against Malaria Foundation saying "quick, buy 125,000 more nets!". Rather, they take in money, and they assign something tangible (in this case, a net that's extrapolated to a life) to each donation so it feels a bit more connected.
