You can further reduce this to "all humans will lie and manipulate when it suits them". As a statement it's just as true, but it obfuscates the concept of scale : some people lie more, more deliberately and more frequently than others.

By declaring everyone an offender without further distinction, you are effectively excusing the behavior of the worst actors while minimizing the good faith efforts put forward by others.

Explains a whole lot of the the anti-Google sentiment here.

I think a lot of us thought for once we had a smart, nice, funny tech giant and they just had to prove us wrong.

We now

- don't have any really good search engine anymore, no Reader, no Desktop Search, no Google+. It seems Google after 2009 is incapable of maintaining what they once built.

- Google long ago abandoned the idea of not being evil

- and even Microsoft is wittier and more playful in their messaging at the moment

So why am I writing this? Because I hope they will change their ways or that someone else will pick up the really nice niche they left behind:

- to find results for the things I actually ask for. (A bonus would be if they or whatever replaces them also implements the ~ operator for "something like".)
Which is exactly what I did in my previous job before Kubernetes existed. When you're cobbling things together yourself you can leave features out of the design of your deployment / orchestration system. That is a blessing and a curse. A lot of the time you just end up ducktaping that feature on later because "oh shit, it keeps breaking". Eventually your "simpler" system is just as complex a design, but the system has lots of major flaws:

* It doesn't work as
well

* Nobody outside your company has heard of it

* Most of the code is once-off hacky scripts that nobody really maintains

* Breakages will occur when underlying dependencies get upgraded when you patch your OS.

I'll even wager that nobody inside your company completely understand how it works. And when it breaks, you are 100% on the hook for it. There's no chance of official documentation or training, and no point asking for help on stackoverflow.
I’d like to know more about the bug mentioned in $ZEC, if you have a link?
Yep. Nowadays a kubectl port-forward makes something like this all too easy. They accidentally had the kubecontext point at the production cluster instead of dev, set up the port-forward to the database, and whoops! At least that's how this could happen to me, even with my years of experience in doing unexpected things to production databases.
It was public knowledge that Apple had a shipped implementation using this instruction before that patch was merged.

I also don't really see any indication that the project maintainers don't know about the instruction.

Oh definitely, I've never met a deadline that didn't inevitably evaporate, but for management they're still very real up until that moment. It's comical, but also you come to realise that the deadline isn't for you anyway. It's for everyone around you so they can plan their tasks. When the deadline is once again pushed due to reasons outside of your control, just rest assured that everyone saw it coming and the blame probably isn't on you.
For anyone that says people need a material incentive to do work. No we don't. Humans will do what is right and what is good for goods sake, when you steel away their humanity and their dignity then they will have the material incentive as the only motivator to do work.

I think I've seen this already, but I'm not sure.
Anyways, what was mentioned in the context of that cave, or another one "nearby" in Europe is that they used that cave for thousands of years. That is no single snapshot of the past, but of a timeframe of several thousands of years of continous use.

Can't remember exactly anymore, maybe even 5000.

Astonishing. Do we have a gathering place used that long?
I feel compared to that we are the nomads.
Hard to be excited about this when ASAN only catches a small fraction of only the easiest to debug memory safety issues, and when hardware support for these like the one in SPARC or in ARM CHERI require a significant amount of programmer and toolchain cooperation, and still do not manage to reasonable speed up Valgribd, MSAN, etc.

If you're talking about a web application or API back end with a smallish startup team, time to market is definitely going to be much longer for a microservices architecture compared to developing a "monolith" in a batteries included framework like eg rails, using a single database.

> If Latin today is really unchanging it's probably because there are few people who aren't classics scholars or in the Vatican who actually produce anything in it.

That's probably a big factor. Maybe Esperanto would achieve similar stability if it were only used by ISO working groups or in other official environments. But if that happens, it ought to come under fire for its Eurocentrism, its sexism, and its general quirkiness, all of which it has been able to skate on because it's never been taken seriously before.

Work smarter, not harder (as a developer)
As the wikipedia article illustrate, the scope is very narrow and depend on the country. A broad interpretation would have a significant impact.

A trivial example would be a divorce where one partner has been caught with a false statement or action. Any sexual intercourse at a date between the lie and the other person finding out would potentially be rape since consent might have changed if the person has been truthful. If both sides are cheating on each other then we would be in the weird state were both were raping each other at the same time, as both would be using deception in order to obtain the victims agreement before the act.

The wast majority of cases described in the Wikipedia article is when one party is asleep, which to me is not about deception at all but rather the state of the victim and their ability to consent. Further down the article, the California case is interesting but involve other crimes in connection to the act which muddles the definition. Last we have the Israel one with the religious aspect, and I strongly doubt a similar case would be allowed in places where such religious aspects would hold less weight. Being consistent under the Israel case, a gold digger would similar be raping it victim since they too would have lied about their interest in a long-term relationship.

"Behind every great fortune there is Crime" --Balzac (b. 1799) https://archive.is/5zz1b
You can see the failure of American leadership and an inability to engage in global crises in a decisive manner since Vietnam due to our inability to get over our incompetence and total misunderstanding of the political situation during the war there.

I have a strong suspicion that American foreign policy wonks still don't understand why we failed in Vietnam; why applying the lens of containment and the same policy everywhere was an asinine idea cloaked in arrogance that has haunted us for decades because of our inability to accept our mistakes. I think this refusal manifests itself as a steady refusal to engage in well-reasoned policy engagements and wasted opportunities to exert US influence in a positive direction.

You see this in the way we celebrated "liberating" Grenada. You see it with the weak humanitarian effort in Somalia. You see it with the increasing reliance on air power and a failure to have firm policy objectives when we do commit land troops.

Yeah, a VPN gateway on a VPS does away with a lot of that complexity. Having your LAN devices in the same virtual network makes dyndns, hole punching and port forwarding largely unnecessary. However, I still view wrapper scripts that you are supposed to curl | bash with some suspicion. I have a simple IPSec setup with strongswan and frankly I did not find the documentation to be as daunting as people make it out to be.

If there is a certbot plugin [1] for your DNS provider's API then renewal of TLS certs is a matter of a single cronjob with some hooks for other services. I set it up 18 months ago and it has never failed to renew.

From looking at Atlassian's website, it doesn't seem like they're doing anything that would be adequate for FOUO data, let alone classified
I should clarify science does require data, does descriptions and so-forth. But if scientists are free to fake data until caught and to essentially be untrustworthy, it becomes impossible to make progress.

That someone has engaged in bad faith and bad methology previously doesn't invalidate their findings. It doesn't prove they're wrong. But it makes people justified in ignoring them.

The world is full of, uh, bullshit, full of unjustified claims on this and that. These have to be ignored because otherwise you waste all your time. Being a credible scientists engaging credible research is a reason to take someone out of the this category and pay attention to them. But once someone has discredited themselves as a scientist, they're back in the bullshit category and no one has an obligation to look at their stuff. Sure, maybe their stuff is true, who knows.

That already exists, and it’s called the „platforms C ABI“.

Every language that supports C FFI can talk with any other language that also supports it.

All these other efforts are just really higher level wrappers around that, but given that there are a million tools for generating the glue code to bind APIs using C for most languages in use it is hard for me to see the value here.
I am generally a very privacy-minded person, but serious question here: is there any legitimate use case for financial privacy from the authorities? I don’t mean “ideologically, I am upset that the government can see I buy too many pastries”. When we look at cryptocurrency, it is used for a small collection of things:

- Speculation on a high volatility, unregulated market

- Money laundering

- Distribution of illegal material

These all seem like things Im fine with the government having visibility into. Perhaps this is ignorance on my part, but all legitimate uses I’ve ever heard of seem like rounding error next to the above. No one is buying pizza with bitcoin in 2020. The uptake for real transactions seems like it’s near zero.

About the best I can come up with is that financial privacy permits low level lawbreaking for laws generally regarded as stupid or unethical (e.g., marijuana). I think it’s safe to say that people who want to feed their drug habits will find other anonymous ways to to pay, e.g. barter or proxy goods.

The types of folks who are deeply affected by large governments having logs of their transactions are not the downtrodden masses. They’re the moderately wealthy engaged in corruption and trafficking. Cry me a river.
Thanks for this. Especially the PDF link.

To anyone reading this:

Pages 100 onward, you get to see diagrams of how it was built, and pics of the retrieval system and info on methods.

Page 120 onward talks about that return unit in more detail.

Page 122 I found interesting, details about measures to prevent the return unit from falling into enemy hands.

Page 128 is a good summary image, with some details on the lower right.

Page 165 onward, especially 168 have actual shots. 168 looks better than the first Google Earth images, and you can easily make out and identify how many 'things' the enemy has.

Sadly I have no more time currently to read, and more sadly some details are still redacted. Understandable, when I ponder the nature of some of those redacted parts. EG, privacy, current contractors still employed, tech methods still used on newer gear, at time of declassification.

> unrestricted 'say anything lmao' free speech does not exist

I am baffled by everyone here talking about algorithmic platforms like Facebook and Twitter as if they are a bastion of free speech. They are designed to promote only the most engaging content (IE most outrageous and in some cases literal misinformation meant to feed on your biases).

These services are not a free marketplace of ideas, they are companies which are designed to make money. The more eyeballs on screens, the more money they make, and it is not well reasoned discussion with a diverse representation of viewpoints that keeps people glued to their devices.

Consider how you respond to someone making an incorrect statement on Twitter. You reply to them, and by replying to them you amplify the audience of the incorrect tweet. The fact that your correction causes misinformation to spread isn't a bug, it is exactly how the platform was intended to work, because it causes "engagement."

"The solution is more free speech" doesn't work here because the platforms don't have free speech and never did to begin with. All people are asking is for those platforms which currently promote outrage above organic content to sort themselves out. Not any of these strawmen about creating a "bureau of truth" or "state censorship boards" and certainly not notions of making an American KGB which I think I saw mentioned somewhere.

I have no idea of the best way to do this. Treat the negative effects of algorithmic platforms as some sort of externality? Develop strict regulation on what types of methods to keep people hooked on social media are considered ethical? Similar to how drugs or gambling are already regulated? Just straight up ban this type of business model?

It's going to be one of the big questions of the next decade. Even something like a user generated flag where if enough people press it, a tweet has a big warning over it saying "this is a contested matter" or something would be better than the current situation.
It is obvious Zamenhof artificially selected the vocabulary to equate grammatical and natural genders. This artificial selection also applied to all words being positive by default: to say bad, you need to say ungood instead.
Do all of these cars and TVs make you happy? Rhetorical question; if they did you wouldn't need more more more.

A minority is rich and comfortable. This elite uses propaganda rhetoric such as polarisation by a platform such as Fox News to manipulate people into a political candidate which, ultimately, does not serve in their benefit but in the benefit of the elite majority.

Then there's the other party who are only marginally better. The poor get to pick the best option of two terrible options, and they could have achieved so much more in their life with just a minor bit of compassion from said elite. If greed is one of the seven sins, none of these elites are the devout Christians they claim to be.

I normally don't speak out about this; thanks for the inspirational post.
