People don't seem to realize that you need both attack and defense.

Let's take the 4 horsemen: terrorists, pedophiles, drug dealers, and money launderers.

* If you weaken encryption, you can catch more terrorists. At the same time, the terrorists can track down their targets more quickly, and they might even find your personal identity and counter-attack directly.

* If you weaken encryption, you can catch more pedophiles. But how will you be able to protect their victims? With weaker encryption/security, pedophiles will be able to track down information on potential/previous/future victims much more easily. And witness protection becomes worthless.

* With weakened encryption, one can crack a drug trafficking ring wide open. On the other hand, you will not be able to protect your witnesses. Worse, a smart organized crime cartel might be able to crack the encryption used by the police; using the thus-obtained counter-intelligence to evade capture. Witness protection programs become that much harder too, if not impossible.

* Money launderers will also be less safe if encryption is weakened. At the same time, everyone else's bank accounts will be less safe too, allowing for new kinds of fraud to proliferate.

Developer-Led Landscape: 800 Companies, 1000 Products, $40B in Revenues
Over the past decade, I have sought to identify every for-profit developer product.

The landscape contains 800 companies across 22 segments that publish 1000 products which generate $40B in revenues.

Today, I am publishing some of the data and analysis.

It includes products from amazing companies like JFrog, Atlassian, HashiCorp, CloudBees, Red Hat, Snyk, Microsoft, JetBrains, and VMware.

I am hopeful that we can get the community to engage by identifying missing companies, help refine segment definitions, and to bring better awareness on the the influence and reach of developers.

I undertook this effort for a few reasons:
1. Developer businesses are still misunderstood by investors and business professionals
2. To bring clarity on the size and growth of different sub-segments of developers
3. To identify long-lived trends in developer businesses and products
4. To bring awareness to my efforts as a technologist and investor, helping to identify interesting companies I may get to connect or collaborate with.

A sample of what's included:
️Developer runtimes generate 2.5x more than pre-prod
️Early segment leaders usually become dominant
️1 trillion programmable endpoints drives need for lifecycle automation and operations to "Shift Left"
️$5M ARR is the threshold between startup and going concern
️It takes a mega vendor to straddle pre-production and production
️Substantial application server businesses emerge (category creation) around programming paradigms
️Private companies have raised a staggering $50B in venture capital ... though deliver questionable capital efficiency
️Software supply chain industrialization will propel the industry towards autonomous software development
And before that, Intel had XScale ARMs.

Intel decided to leave the low-margin microcontroller business a long time ago. ARM may have gobbled up the market, but there's an entire graveyard of companies who were unable to make it in that highly competitive market.

The Cortex-M world is dominated by peripherals, more so than core performance. A faster or more-accurate 12-bit ADC is what makes your company live or die (or STM's "op-amps on board", which reduce the need of external opamps, a singular opamp + cortex-M3 chip is all you need). Integration is key, not so much performance or even power-efficiency.

--------

In any case, I stand by my primary claim: ARM Cortex-M chips do NOT compete against Intel in any capacity. They're a completely different market. Intel doesn't have the technical expertise needed to make ADCs, Timers, or Op-amps like say, ST-Micro or TI. (Lower-power OpAmps, higher-frequency, lower-input current, lower output impedance, compatibility with a wider variety of voltages from 1V to 5V... etc. etc. ).

We have become used to a world where hydrocarbons are the energy source, certainly for portable energy. Historically it has not been the case that there is one predominant source of energy. I think that we will go back to that state of affairs.

So, yes, hydrogen powered fuel cells are likely to be a major source of power in the next 10 years. It is just that there will be other major sources of power as well. Different energy storage systems have different attributes and are viable in different applications.

Neuroquant imaging filters for MRI are supposed to detect changes like this, but are quite expensive and not readily available. The pediatricians shrugged their shoulders. Functional medicine doctors would be more willing to pursue this approach (they like data). The trick is finding the root cause of the swelling, which is usually an immune response to a protein it does not like and wants to isolate. I am unaware of other locations in my son's body that become inflamed by Annatto, his stutter was/is the first notable symptom.

Is it the Annatto itself that collected in my son's brain/frontal lobe and triggered inflammation? A brain scan at that time would probably help shed light.

Was something else there that Annatto reacted with/killed and my son's system inflamed due to the residual proteins (it's used as an anti-parasitic in native cultures - and yes, herbs can cause a die off as most lyme+ patients have demonstrated repeatedly - and I will get forehead pressure from a die-off, my son might be similar in that regard)?

In short, there's not enough data or an easy way to gather it.

Yes, the cost structure is very visibly more expensive. The problem is the huge amount of additional energy needed to generate the hydrogen. Hydrogen storage is also very expensive. The weight reduction is pretty neglectible, as hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe.
Perhaps, but I think more likely it will have to be coordinated by a few nations. Which is easier, but can still be troublesome.

From the article: “If you’re unable to unlock your car and drive, that’s a problem,” he said.

That's a bogus comment hovering on FUD.

In no general usage do you need app access to the car via the Internet in order to unlock or drive. My wife just drove one of our cars during the outage and didn't even known it was ongoing.

I would assume that even with the Model 3 using the phone as a key, it just uses LE Bluetooth -- not Internet access via the app.
Whether one assesses one or another proposed model as having promise is a matter of debate and not a means to credit or discredit anything. It does not seem as though there is any case here for the assertion that 'psychoanalysis has been discredited', as that issue is no longer being debated.

Instead, it seems that the question you are addressing now is whether psychoanalysis is a promising model. That is a different issue and bears upon a discussion of the theory itself. If you have never read a book about Freud's model without id/ego/superego, you don't appear to be familiar with Freud's work to begin with. Look at everything Freud wrote before 1920, and there is little mention of these things (the ego shows up some because the term in German was just "Ich" and is used anywhere a notion of "self" is referenced, but the "id" and "superego" certainly make no appearance until later). "Interpretation of Dreams", the "Introductory Lectures", the 19th century works on "Neurosis", and the metapsychological works primarily address unconscious processes, memory, repression, and other mechanisms of defense, with reference to hysteria, obsessional neurosis, paranoia, and psychosis. The id/ego/superego organization was introduced later in "The Ego and the Id" and other works around that time.

I would suggest if you are skeptical about Freud, and want to actually evaluate his ideas, and not cartoons of them, you should at least read "The Unconscious" or "Interpretation of Dreams", particularly the third part of the latter text. If you read Freud, you will see that he most certainly looks at data and syntheses solutions. Freud very clearly and methodically deduces most of his ideas from accounts of neuroses, dreams, and other mental phenomena. In the "Interpretation of Dreams" for instance, Freud discusses previous research on dreams, observes many interesting qualities of recorded dreams as well as discourse in therapy, "and then synthesized" a model of cognitive mechanisms that would account for the phenomena, among them condensation, displacement, and regression. He then goes on to further synthesize a plausible model of how these processes work in general, how memory and consciousness plays a role in them, and how these models are consistent with cognition in general. Modern research on dreams actually substantiates this fairly well thus far, taking the position that dreams are forms of memory consolidation and the consequence of "regression".

You really have to read some of this stuff and not just parrot what you have heard others say about Freud. The "Elektra Complex" is not even Freud's idea; it was an idea of Jung's that Freud was critical of.
People adhere to their browsers pretty well. I wouldn't change my browser at home just because I use it at work unless I wanted to synchronize my Mozilla/Google account across both computers (and this is often prohibited on enterprise licensed FF/Chrome).

I had a stutter as a young kid, went to speech therapy, the usual story here it seems. While some breathing and relaxation helped, mentally I always had a distinct picture of why the stutter was there.

For me, it was always the simple appearance that my mind was thinking far faster than I could talk, and that would get in the way the farther I thought ahead and could no longer "multitask" on the two "threads" coherently, forcing a bit of a reset. As I got older, I lost my stutter mostly but I speak quite fast. To the point that many of my friends have to get used to my speech when the see me for the first time in a while. I have to consciously tone down the speed for some public speaking events (which I generally handle well otherwise). This is something I honed mostly over middle/high school. In some ways, I solved this whole issue in reverse - speeding up my speech rather than slowing my thoughts, though of course there was a bit of meeting in the middle.

I wonder if this section might be relevant to my case:

> During the 1990s, Maguire and colleagues were among the first to use a certain kind of brain scan, positron emission tomography, on people who stutter. They found too much dopamine activity in these people’s brains. That extra dopamine seems to stifle the activity of some of the brain regions that Chang and others have linked to stuttering.

If excess dopamine actually speeds up thought, that could more or less match what I experience. I have no idea if it would be experienced that way or not though.

I'd note that I would never seek treatment for this now with the stutter mostly gone. I consider my brain speed / speech speed a bit of a superpower or advantage in many ways and mitigating that as needed for specific scenarios is far more preferable to me than slowing down my brain to be limited to my "brain multitasking" speed limit.

Based on reading other posts here, it seems like fast thoughts tie back to a lot of people. I was lucky enough not to experience the nervous/anxiety part of it. I'm now wondering if that's an entirely separate experience, or simply an addition the mind can add on as one experiences stuttering.
Absolutely. This practically guarantees there will be a port of this to every OS available for years to come.

Providence Hospital in Portland OR (details?) had a big (for the time) data leak about the time I started doing medical records. They settled out of court. I contacted both sides and tried to reach the admins, to ask what fix they settled on.

"Try harder next time."

Terrific.

We geeks creating the infrastructure for electronic medical record interchanges resigned ourselves to the inevitable massive data leak. I spent a lot of effort trying to figure out how to protect patient privacy.

I eventually determined there's only one technical solution, based on strategies from Translucent Databases book. (TLDR: field level encryption for all data at rest, just like proper password storage.)

But there's no social, legal, or cultural protection. And the small legal change (globally unique person identifiers) we'd have to do for the sole workable technical solution is strenuously opposed across the political spectrum.

So. My plan now is to rethink the entire stack. Extend property rights to PII. Let accounting fix what algorithms couldn't.

If someone divines a better plan, I'm totally on board. As in "shut up and take my money". But I'm not holding my breath.

FWIW, one of my besties wrote a book on privacy. My proposal makes his head explode. Apoplectic. So I get the push back. But 15 years later, no one, including him, have a better idea. Better as in feasible, actionable.

That's definitely true up until a pretty obscene level of wealth, but there's definitely a difference between basing all choices around money, and basing major choices around money.

For example, I no longer scour the grocery store for the cheapest available option for every item I select. I no longer have to spend months finding the best value for a pair of shoes, a piece of furniture, etc.

Basically, if I spend a couple hundred dollars too much on stuff one month, I'll hardly notice it. Whereas, when I was poor, that was the difference between making rent or not.

Singapore has a government-run mediation centre for employment-related claims [1], and unresolved cases can advance to an employment tribunal [2] (where no lawyers are allowed) after.

The difference in this case were the criminal charges. Like in most jurisdictions in the world, it would be pretty foolish of someone to represent themselves without being trained in criminal law and court procedure — especially when a failed attempt doesn't mean bankruptcy, but incarceration.

Not the case here, but still a good thing to keep in mind: "Although the term "insider threats" has a negative connotation to it, some insider threats are unintentional and simply exploited."
>I think people miss the point of the article because the article itself doesn't make much sense.

Perhaps that's so. It certainly doesn't directly address scientific issues with the exploration/exploitation of Venus and/or Mars.

Rather, the main theme of the blog post seems to be:
The challenges of exploring Venus/searching for life are metaphorically similar to current issues here on Earth (climate change, SARS-Cov2, etc.), while Mars represents the endless expansion/frontier attitudes of 18th-20th century mercantilism/capitalism.

As such, I found the post to be more about how humans think about solving problems and a plea for a new kind of thinking. As Lincoln put it: "The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country."

While I certainly don't disagree with the sentiment, I'm not convinced that the metaphor is a good one. Exploring/colonizing/exploiting off-world resources, regardless of where they might be, will require us to "...think anew, and act anew."

All that said, perhaps I completely misunderstood the blogger's point. But I don't think so.

Edit: Clarified the amount of sense I think the author of the blog post was making and cleaned up my own verbiage/reasoning.
