The entire economic system of the Internet is built on the fact that the marginal cost of every action is essentially $0. It's certainly no where remotely close to 10 cents. More like 10 millionths of a cent.

Japan was the first country to introduce unleaded petrol/gasoline in 1972 and the first to ban leaded petrol in 1986 but, according to the article, they aren't seeing the decreases that Europe and North America are seeing. So that fact doesn't support your hypothesis even though I am sure there have been many other health benefits from the ban.
I suppose that this is consistent with Jacobin's worldview, wherein the US government is morally similar to the CCP. But for the rest of the rational world this just doesn't compute.

If you look at the later lectures, it seems the recreational aspects are a trap to get you to attend thing like: ”Algorithms for unfolding 2D chains, pseudotriangulation, energy; rigid folding of single-vertex origami; locked trees, infinitesimally locked linkages, Rules 1 and 2; locked 3D chains, knitting needles.” Here you are fairly far from ’recreational’ folding, those words paint pictures of serious people gettin very upset at the very notion of folding something for pleasure!

How are those related? I don't understand why you think that some people working from home means that others will be less able to, or that those who can WFH don't care about those who can't WFH.

Given that some people are not working from home, surely it's strictly better for them if the spread of the virus is reduced?

They happen to be situated in USA specifically. It's the world's traffic relay.

Funny. They are terrible on Danish and Norwegian layouts. Like, the pipe is command+i and I always have to look up square and squiggly parens. I think they are on top of normal parens .. or next to. But they are not indicated on the keyboard and they take a modifier, but if you use the wrong modifier, you'll change tab in your browser window. ~ is also not printed on the keyboard and takes a modifier, causing a clash with the command-~ shortcut for changing between windows in the same application.

I am utterly unimpressed and I want to sell my laptop just to buy a new one with US layout.

I ran the Matrix server for HOPE and have fairly extensive experience administrating Matrix. For HOPE, we didn't even begin to approach anything that looked like capacity; any resources that were maxing out were either due to the DoS attack we were enduring (and made numerous changes to mitigate) during the conf, or applications in different threads that matrix metrics were picking up on (bug filed, will fixed in new versions).

Even so, we could easily - without a sweat - get 2000 people on a server. I wasn't even using more workers than we had cores. Make that a bigger box and you get a few thousand more. Then use a few different servers that are federated with each other for DEFCON and you have instant scale.

The matrix.org people run the matrix.org homeserver for over ~200k active users. You can see an outdated version of the stats here:
https://matrix.org/faq/#what-is-the-current-project-status
and they've said their active userbase has grown 300% in the past year.

The original plan for HOPE was to run multiple homeservers, but we didn't even begin to need to.

Discipline requires upkeep and it will eventually deteriorate. You want to set things up such that discipline is not required: either the "right" outcome is the lowest energy state, or the "wrong" thing is logistically impossible. Fundamentally, this is the secret to successful people management in general. Anything else doesn't really work in the long term.
>When the US Government can unilaterally demand security cooperation from Google in any way, shape, or form like the Chinese government can, then sure.

is this not exactly what a national security letter (NSL) is? the government can demand anything of a tech company, including that the company not tell anybody about it, as long as they claim it's for reasons of national security.

It almost strikes me as sort of like a torrent or something like Folding@Home. If everyone signed up to the service and provided their credentials (lets ignore the obvious security issues here), when someone requested a document via RECAP it could use the accounts that have signed up. It would use each account until it got near the $30 threshold and then move on to the next one.

Ahh poop, looks like I was out of date. Apparently a practical demonstration of an attack with complexity ~2^60 was recently demonstrated against legacy GPG (the v1.4 defaults) for less than $50k USD. [1] That being said, it looks like it still required ~2 months and ~900 GPUs versus MD5 at 2^18 (less than a second on a single commodity desktop processor).

So yeah, I agree, add SHA-1 to the list of algorithms to reflexively avoid for any and all purposes unless you have a _really_ good reason to use it.

This assumes that the market rate is constantly increasing. Given the amount of job losses that have occurred recently, there may be talent available at a cheaper price.

South bay anecdote: Rent was ~3.8k, I tried to negotiate on renewal (4- at same rate) saying market conditions dont justify it. The management refused to go below ~3.3k, now they are offering same apartment at 2.8k after I vacated.

That's deep decrease (~33%), I fully expect the effects to show up starting Q4.
> The NSA, however, can and will use data they collect on you against you.

The NSA can't collect your data if you are a US citizen or are a non-US citizen inside the US, and they certainly can't "use [it] against you."

> Have you not heard of PRISM? The US routinely can and does force companies to give up information on citizens in the form of dragnet surveillance.

PRISM does not use dragnet surveillance. It's right there in the slides that Snowden leaked and repeated in the documents the government declassified. https://www.cnet.com/news/no-evidence-of-nsas-direct-access-...
I actually do what you described.

My office is 12 minutes "run-commuting", there are a couple of good restaurants there, if I make a mess on my desk in the office, my desk at home is still clean, I got four whiteboards, I am not bothered by the neighbor's Amazon package, nor coworkers as they are all working from home.

Now granted, if I had to come 2x1 hour by car, I wouldn't do it, but a 30 min walk in the morning is actually pretty nice
Chinas success in doing this can in large part be traced to the unwillingness of the U.S and the west to challenge and stop the pure theft of IP from basically all advanced industries and unfair trade practices. This has enabled an immense transfer of IP which gives China an amazing foundation to build upon. Now China has to do the final push to become self reliant, but it's much more feasible than it was say 10-20 years ago.

As far as i am aware no country except for different eras of communism(specifically Soviet) have operated somewhat effectively on production output plans on the scale of entire economy.
I've been trying to figure out why there's so much heightened concern over TikTok.

This is not, and has never been, the case. Moderators can remove posts and ban users, but they cannot affect the scoring or placement of posts (short of pinning up to two posts to the top of the page, which visually distinguishes them from other posts).

Treason is defined in the US Constitution: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

The United States has not been in a state of war since 1945, so very few people alive could have possibly committed treason, unless they did so as a child. No person under the age of 75 could have committed treason.
This is not the equivalent of weakening the US's stature among allies. And even if that were the only possible outcome of that policy, it still wouldn't be the administration's goal, only an unintended side effect.

> the adjustments to city layouts

This might be a controversial opinion but I think that's a big plus. Look at old European cities with tiny streets that were mostly designed in times before carriages & cars; vs modern American cities (e.g. upper Manhattan) with large streets, a lot of driving and walking space, etc. Sure, the European model might be more romantic but the US one is definitely more functional (density isn't an issue either; London is much less dense than Manhattan).
Don't forget about WeWork and SoftBank (Japan).

I'd say his actions on Chinese trade have been the closest thing to a coherent policy he's had on anything whatsoever, actually. His other trade actions have been, uh, scattershot, to put it very nicely, yes, and I doubt you could come up with an assessment of his presidency as a whole negative enough that I'd disagree with it.

Someone could argue Hsu was effectively demoted but he wasn't even effectively fired. Someone can disagree with the case against him but that isn't a good reason to misrepresent it.

Only a small fraction of the signatures supporting Hsu have any affiliation with his university. And would you care which petition had more signatures if it was the other way around?

What makes you think that the "theft" of tech will slow down at all?
Isn't this obvious? What's China going to do with an American's data? Mine it and store it. What can the US do with the data it grabs from US companies? Land you in jail or worse. What can other US entities do with that data? Raise prices. Blacklist you. Sell it to other companies to do the same. Sell it to the government to put you in jail. Unless someone has ties to China or lives/visit China, the Chinese can't do shit. They could have a data breach as can anyone, but I bet they have better security practices and worse consequences for disclosure (so nations can't get proof of the data collection) than any US entity. This should all be quite obvious.
Fair statement.

Yeah in Rust it's not up to the compiler whether generic code is monomorphized or dynamic dispatched, it's part of the language.

A monomorphized function looks like this:

fn f1<T: Display>(v: &T) -> String {
format!("{}", v)
}

A dynamic dispatched function looks like:

fn f2(v: &dyn Display) -> String {
format!("{}", v)
}

Note that we've added the dyn keyword, which tells rust to treat this as a trait object and use dynamic dispatch.

This is actually separate from boxing (these examples are just using normal unboxed references), although typically you would use trait objects with boxing as unboxed trait objects are awkward to work with.

See https://godbolt.org/z/PvM3ox for an example of the compilation: we get two versions of f1 specialized for u32 and u64, but just one for f2.

> Researchers striving to understand the origins of dementia are building the case against a possible culprit: lead exposure early in life. A study spanning 23 years has now revealed that monkeys who drank a lead-rich formula as infants later developed tangles of a key brain protein, called tau, linked to Alzheimer's disease. Though neuroscientists say more work is needed to confirm the connection, the research suggests that people exposed to lead as children—as many in America used to be before it was eliminated from paint, car emissions, water, and soil—could have an increased risk of the common, late-onset form of Alzheimer’s disease.

Observably false. The Judiciary decides what they want the Constitution to say, and then engages in whatever tortuous reasoning is required to get the desired "reading." The most well known example is when the Judiciary amended the Constitution to forbid the States from outlawing abortion, but there are plenty of others. So, to get technical, Judicial interpretation as it is now practiced is pragmatically equivalent to Congress and the States' amendment power. This is obviously much more than merely striking down an unconstitutional statute.

But, as I said, the U.S. Federal Government just uses the Constitution as a fig leaf at this point. It would be nice if there were a good reference book on how the country is actually governed from an operational standpoint, including who actually writes bills, how junkets are used, the role of lobbying and blackmail, and so on. I don't imagine such a work will see the light of day until long after the end of this government, but it would be interesting.
