Not sure what to think about Japan - there was never any real lockdown, people were still riding crowded trains in rush hour to companies that wouldn’t let them work remote. But it nonetheless didn’t spread much. Perhaps it’s that people obediently wore masks all the time from the very beginning? But it’s all guessing still.
My argument is entirely facetious, of course.

But you have no reason to believe a teapot orbits the sun somewhere. There is no reasonable way to believe that a teapot could have "gotten there". No space programs launching teapots just for laughs. Space programs in general being far too expensive for someone to launch something without government oversight.

Etc, etc...

My point is that the NSA does exist. They do degrade cryptographic algorithms, either through national security letters or simply bribery. The Dual_EC_DRBG fiasco happened. It really happened. Private United States based organisations do cooperate with these programs, either willingly or because they are forced to.

Now, ask yourself: What would it look like if Microsoft was -- hypothetically -- cooperating with the NSA?

Since Windows is so widely used, any weakness in its crypto would be a problem for the US itself! There's no separate "export version" any more.

(Which reminds me: "Export-grade crypto". Remember that? That happened too. That was not a "conspiracy"! That was law! Recently.)

Back to my point: how would you degrade the crypto but protect US interests?

Well, one method would be to have strong crypto in the software, disable it by default, and mandate that all US government organisations turn the strong crypto on. Simply rely on IT administrator lazyness and tight budgets of most organisations to ensure that 99% of the world outside of US Government remains on the weak sauce.

Exhibit A: FIPS mode.

Exhibit B: TLS 1.1 and 1.2 available but off by default.

Exhibit C: AES for Active Directory available but off by default.

Now do you get it? It looks suspicious.

It's one thing to accuse a neighbour randomly of murder. It's entirely another thing if you see them putting a shockingly large and heavy rolled up carpet in the boot of their car at three o'clock in the morning.
All those tobacco, oil and paint executives retired with their $millions untouched, despite millions of deaths laid right at their doorsteps.

Shoot up a Walmart, though, or crash one plane, and the nation goes on a rampage.

I am sure there would be regulation and consequences that would apply to Movies, Cable TV, airline flights if misinformation being pushed about Earth being flat to commercially engage them.
Although not mentioned clearly in the complaint it's very possible the initial matching was done through the FBI's or another automated query system. This is a standard practice used in law enforcement investigations - capture fingerprints however you can and submit them to the FBI, which returns a report of possible matches. The automated matches would need to be followed up on with manual comparison, esp. due to the unusual nature of the fingerprint capture here, and this manual comparison is going to be the part mentioned in the complaint because it most clearly establishes a link.
Exactly, it's a class thing. People who can't afford to pay for services have less "trouble" with being exploited in return for a free product.

Right, except in this case Google and Facebook are not paying the people who create the content (so-called "users")^1, however Google and Facebook are the ones getting paid by the advertisers. The so-called "users" are also paying for the internet access and bandwidth over which the ads are delivered.

In sum, the "users" are the ones paying for the costs of this particular advertising vector (the internet and web).

1. In most cases. There are exceptions where original authors can get a cut of Google/Facebook's take.

There's a big difference when you take informed consent into account.

When I go to the doctor I understand the scope and goals of my healthcare provider. I'm not surprised when my behaviors are changed to enhance my health.

When the average person uses social media to connect with friends they aren't informed on the scope or goals of the social media provider. When I RSVP to a birthday party I only expect that my response will be sent -- I don't expect that I'll have birthday gifts suggested to me or have my relationships tracked by surveillance organizations.
I think you and the GP are talking about two different things. Chrome’s early adoption on desktop was partly due to people finding it a faster browser, and partly users switching browsers without particularly thinking about it because they were exposed to incessant advertising for Chrome on Google properties. But Chrome definitely went to a whole new level of dominance with the rise of mobile, where a substantial number of people around the world use primarily Android phones for browsing, and thus they start off with the stock browser and never think to change it.
I like to think of Java as 'a reasonable choice for almost any problem'. Almost never the best one. If you're looking for a single language to standardize on for all the things corporate-wide, it makes sense. But don't lie to yourself thinking you've picked the best tool for any job.
It's not really looting it if everything is recorded, carefully studied, and what's learned is made available to the public via museums. Looting would be something smashing in the door to run in and grab a handful of artifacts and or a mummy body part and selling it to a private buyer. Big difference.

Maybe it lacks dignity in that it's not what the ancient Egyptians would've preferred for us to do with their remains - but I think it's fair to set some statute of limitations on that kind of thing.

Banks don’t really borrow from depositors[1]. That is a great description from an authoritative source. The US system is substantially the same. Having a banking license has huge advantages, namely being able to create money out of thin air and borrow at extremely low rates from the central bank. I don’t know if a Wyoming SPDI has those privileges or not though. Reading through the description[2] it looks like they do though.

Modules are supposed to make much of this now quite useful info irrelevant.

Unfortunately modules are several years in the future, both due to lack of implementations yet and the fact that few projects are being written in C++20 yet. I also harbour a suspicion that tricks like these will still be useful with modules.

China has far harsher immigration restrictions, and they're not falling behind. The article is generally confusing, criticizing the US' belated adoption of China's approach as a "fall-behind strategy", while praising China for that same (albeit far better executed) strategy.

> 81% of electrical engineering grad students are international, 79% in computer science are, and in most engineering and technical fields, the number hovers above a majority. It’s great to believe the fantasy that if only these international grad students would stay home, then “real” Americans would somehow take these slots. But what’s true of the strawberry pickers and food service workers is also true for EE grad students: proverbial “Americans” don’t want these jobs.

So the jobs "Americans don't want" have now expanded from manual labor to STEM. I wonder which jobs we'll be told they don't want next. How the US got anything done from 1900 to 1970, when minorities were only 12% of the population, is a mystery.

> If that person thinks abortion is murder they shouldn’t let you know that other doctors will happily murder your fetus to save you. If you die it’s god’s will. If the baby dies in 30 weeks, that’s also god’s will. You’re saying that the doctor should be held harmless withholding that information?

Obviously not. To begin, no religion I’m aware of would preclude informing the patient in that circumstance. And few libertarians believe that individual freedom requires allowing deception of others, as in your hypothetical.

Apart from that, weighing individual liberty interests is always context-dependent. E.g. consider the various wrinkles when it comes to self defense. For a libertarian, forcing doctors to perform a procedure that involves killing something (whatever you think that thing is) in non-emergency circumstances just because that might leave too few people in an area willing to do that probably falls too far on the side of ignoring individual liberty. It’s the basic libertarian position: you may have a right to something, but you don’t have a right to make someone else give you that thing.

It's not actually obvious in "Economics 101" that wages are depressed by the best and the brightest coming to the US.

These "best and brightest" are unencumbered by student loans and voluntarily put themselves in a very bad position at the negotiating table for the salary. If that doesn't depress wages it's hard to say what would.

Last time I checked somebody working on modules said something along the lines of "don't expect modules to speed things up". The goals were different, apparently (stop #defines from leaking everywhere, large-project management, libraries). Has this changed, are there any benchmarks available?

My understanding is one of the main reasons methamphetamines are so widely used and sold is because meth is cheap and easy to make compared to safer possible alternatives. That indicates to me that this seems like a market that needs regulation, not prohibition.

I'm not saying meth should be legal, I'm saying the drug market can be regulated to reduce harm. If that regulation means disallowing certain substances that do cause excessive harm, that's a good thing too.

Please just say whatever it is that you're trying to imply.
Can't anyone still share information using the normal internet? You don't need the blockchain in order to set up a website and start sharing information.

Few choose to do this because it is more work than using a centralized system. Using Facebook or twitter is much easier to use.

What does the blockchain really change? So far, it doesn't seem to be any easier than sharing information the traditional way.
People can already choose what kind of certificate they want issued to them, because the CA does not generate your private keys.

Them giving you a certificate with an RSA public key in it is impossible if you submit a Certificate Signing Request with an ECDSA public key in it (or vice versa).

Then it's only down to what intermediate certificate you want to serve. That's the constraining factor; since you don't get to choose which private key the CA signs your certificate with, you have to use the intermediate certificate whose public key corresponds to the private key that made that signature.

The sensible thing for a CA to do is to sign with (and supply) an ECDSA intermediate if they get handed an ECDSA CSR, and an RSA intermediate if they get handed an RSA CSR. I imagine this is what Let's Encrypt does already.

This is a breath of fresh air compared to modern ecommerce sites that ‘require’ you to send over a truckload of personal information, create a login, verify your email etc just so you can purchase a single item of clothing.

And not only do flat earthers not read reputable sources to soberly reflect on the matter, but often the truth or falsehood of their preferred conspiracy theory is not really the point. A lot of people are getting into Flat Earth, QAnon, or 5G-causes-whatever because those forums offer them a sense of community that satisfies their emotional needs. Perpetuating the conspiracy theory is just the ritual they must perform to keep the group vibe going, but in itself the conspiracy isn’t all that really important (as destructive as its side-effects are for the rest of the world).

I think the challenge for defeating those theories is providing the poor, undereducated and marginalized a more wholesome way to spend their time among other people. That is a hard challenge when community centers and churches are no longer a significant thing in many locations, and now the COVID lockdown means even less real-life socializing.
I don't know how I missed this but you really made my day! Serde is much slower in debug builds so I have been using release for everything. That works but the builds take a looong time.
> such as extensibility

That's a fair point. I very much value FF's extensibility.
Just use a build system in which reliable incremental builds are possible and are the default. Your compilation will take seconds most of the time.
'Protestant work ethic' is 'hard work', diligence, consistency, frugality, but not necessarily 'work all hours' esp. not family time or weekends. Also, those who have come from humble means towards building themselves through capability and integrity ... as opposed to being handed their station.

I'm for legalisation of "most" drugs but I can't stop thinking that paying taxes would be the last thing most heroin users will have in mind.

We also have the recent opioids crisis. It didn't work out very well.

You must realise that there is also cost for everything including legalisation(i.e more people will get hooked on (hard) drugs).
I work on the video game factorio, which is a c++ project. On a 9900k a rebuild takes about a minute, so it's pretty sizeable but not something ridiculous like oracle db or unreal engine. I tried using zapcc on it, and it was a complete failure. I don't have measurements to hand, but iirc it was actually slower than stock clang. I tested it on a threadripper 2950x with 64gb of ram, running Debian.

I need a service to summarize pop non-fiction books in some similar way, cut out all the bullshit and leave the perhaps blog length substance and list of references.

I can’t stand where a good 1/3 to 1/2 of the book is spent on trying to convince me to read the book, extolling the benefits I’ll get from reading it. I don’t need to be sold on it, I already wasted the money for the book, now all I want to do is avoid also wasting time on filler.
Both comments are true.
What Are Trademark Classes
Regarding your last point, even if you can monitor (but not alter) all traffic on the Internet, in real-time, all of the time, forever, that does not let you decrypt any traffic (now or in the future) if the parties are using forward-secret ciphersuites (those whose key exchange is performed with ephemeral private keys, instead of the key corresponding to the public key in the certificate).

At the moment, these are the DHE- and ECDHE- ciphersuites in TLS1.2 and below, and are mandatory in TLS1.3 (RSA key exchange was removed).

This only becomes a concern if your adversary can alter traffic in real-time (because they can use a compromised root to obtain their own certificate for the service you're talking to, and pretend to be them to you, and you will then negotiate your keying material with them instead, which naturally gives them the ability to decrypt the traffic before forwarding it along to its intended destination). Several technologies, such as HPKP, CAA, and CT, are designed to eliminate or mitigate this.
Zahi Hawas has quite the reputation of being a phony. Many lay blame directly at him for refusing to allow the exploration and analysis of some ancient sites and artifacts that would run counter to the narrative he supports. An example is that a civilization that existed before the Egyptians is responsible for things like the Sphinx and Great Pyramids. He also refuses access to certain areas of these sites to prevent further exploration from what I understand. I know many folks can't stand him and say he is full of shit.

I don't know enough about the subject to have a strong opinion but would like to understand what is gained from not allowing more exploration of the tunnels and rooms under the Sphinx, etc.
Can you provide some more detail about your experiences with these speakers? I’ve seen the designs before, but they’re so exotic they seem like a gimmick.

I want to make two sets of speakers. First, a two channel set up for my home office, to play high-quality music while I work and handle conference call audio. Second, a monitor for my synthesizers. They produce a crazy range of detailed sound, and I want something that reproduces all that detail across a full range, even at lower volumes, and ideally without strict placement/listening position constraints.

I dream of building a battery powered custom speaker bank for synth busking / disturbing the peace.

> One major problem I experienced in my last job (where I worked on production rust) was the insane amount of macros and proc macros used.

Is there any language that allows full-fledged macros that doesn't have projects that descend into this?

This seems like a standard problem with programmers deciding 1) they don't like the language semantics and use macros to adjust that (then why are you using the language) or 2) over-factoring before you really have enough reuse.
