Fine? The spec is not enough to implement the protocol. Right now, it's not meant to be implemented from its spec. The spec documents what the protocol is doing, because you want to know that in order to analyze it. It's not meant to facilitate clean-room interop.

WireGuard isn't an IETF protocol. In fact, it's a repudiation of IETF protocol design.

Right now, you should use WireGuard implementations Jason endorses, and avoid implements he expresses concerns about.
Not a single parent but I think everyone’s parent experience is different. Mine is that even with two of us we always feel short staffed.

I like your thought about data collection. I think the problem is more psychological. I cannot get deep into things if there’s a chance I’ll be interrupted. I’ve tried for years. The only video games I can enjoy are ones like Zelda Switch where small chunks are meaningfully fulfilling and I can pause at any point.

I was in a curling league last year and felt guilty and distracted every single time knowing my wife was on her own while I got to play.

Indeed this is very much a social and psychological problem with me and my family unit’s “free time” structure. But I look for external helping hands where I can, such as a “we have made this friendly to people who have to drop out”.

I used to love DOTA like games. God... when my first was born I was perpetually getting banned because I kept dropping out of games, screwing over 9 other people. :)
> Don't assume people are being stupid and you're the only smart one.

Sometimes really smart people do things in really suboptimal ways because of tradition or other blindspots, and an outside perspective can break a person or a field out of a local minimum.

Maybe it's already being done, but installing a low-light camera above whatever workbench they use to analyze these ancient books with a footpedal or something to capture an image would provide some insurance against loss before proper archival, even if they don't open every page due to fragility.

> A phone light may not be healthy.

Modern cell phone cameras are quite capable of taking images without the flash in very low light conditions, either through high ISO or long exposures.
I just checked my records for when I last flew, because I remember that every single person in the airport (myself included) were wearing face masks, and there was a genuine feeling of concern about the situation. It was February 4.

This was in Thailand, which was the first country outside of China to have a confirmed case (on 13 Jan). By and large people here were taking it quite seriously at the time (and continue to do so); nobody waited for the government or health authorities to tell them to wear masks, they just did it. It was clear to me back then it was going to spread to the west pretty quickly and be a massive problem if countries didn't lock down and lock down fast.

According to the Johns Hopkins dashboard, Thailand has had 3,691 cases and 59 deaths out of a population of ~70 million. At one point we reached 100 days with zero local transmission. Watching how it's been handled in the US just completely blows my mind.
> That sounds like a kind of "everybody is a criminal unless proved otherwise" argument? How about arguing, bitcoin makes simple privacy the default? You don't have to be a drug dealer, to want to keep everybody else's nose out of your business.

IIRC, Bitcoin doesn't make privacy the default. It's easy to trace transaction on its blockchain, hence the need for mixers if you want to obscure the origin of some cryptocurrency.
Listen to my doctor, treat my medication regime seriously and with respect, and respond to warning signs promptly. It feels completely normal to ensure I have medication with me at all times, despite the fact there's an outside chance I could die if I forget. That being said I am generally a laid-back person, which is probably why I don't fret about it.
Sure, some do better than others. However none are good at it, and therefore the bar is so low that it's better to assume it's all false until proven otherwise.

It probably won't help you diagnose yourself but my 8 year long migraine was PSVT and having a very unstable blood pressure as a result. Neurologist asked how often I had a migraine and I said "once" and then he asked how long "4 years so far". The cardiologist was much more help when we figured it out eventually. Heart surgery fixed it.

Chronic pain on that timeline does a lot of harm to your physical and mental health. I'm still re-learning how to relate and respond appropriately respond to pain as a stimulus. I'm dangerously used to ignoring it. Empathizing with other people's pain took years to re-learn despite recognizing my failure fairly one in the process.

That can still mean that you may be vulnerable to civil forfeiture, since your pile of Monero doesn't receive the same presumption of innocence.
If that's your definition of "desirable," come to Upstate NY—and the non-urban Northeast in general.

There's vast amounts of "natural beauty" here, nearly everywhere you could look. And while, sure, the lakeside real estate has a higher tendency to be owned by the wealthier people in the area, there's loads of land with fantastic views and easy access to beautiful woods, streams, hilltops overlooking wide valleys, etc.

The caveat is, of course, that it's rural—you can't have this sort of thing and still be 5 minutes' walk from four different top-quality restaurants, or even, in some cases within a half-hour's drive of a Starbucks.
If transaction obfuscation violates laws regarding trackability of financial transactions, then and cryptocurrency that builds obfuscation into their protocols has a product that is inherently illegal. It would be no different than building any feature into software that violates the law, say DRM circumvention as an example.

However I don't know if obfuscation alone would be considered illegal: In this case, the services went beyond merely facilitating obfuscation. They were not properly registered as a Money Services Business, and they specifically marketed their services for use in illicit transactions. Going back to the DRM example, it's the difference between software that has legitimate uses but could be used to break DRM (Think binary editors to crack a video game's DRM) as compared to advertising your binary editor not as a general purpose tool, but for that specific illegal purpose.

(Disregarding, for a moment, the philosophical issues surrounding the use of DRM, on which I tend to lean more towards less use of DRM)
It's not a very glamorously-designed site but I've found https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ to be pretty solid.

I'm glad they rate political inclination separately from factuality because I've gotten to the point that I only care about the latter, and not the former, and highly suggest others do too. Nothing rated below "HIGH" in Factual Reporting should be passed along, IMHO.

They always link to the evidence for their ratings.

Obviously not legal advice, but FinCEN's guidance is quite easy to follow here:

https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/2019-05/FinCEN%20...

> Providers of anonymizing services, commonly referred to as “mixers” or “tumblers,” are either persons that accept CVCs and retransmit them in a manner designed to prevent others from tracing the transmission back to its source (anonymizing services provider), or suppliers of software a transmittor would use for the same purpose (anonymizing software provider).

> An anonymizing services provider is a money transmitter under FinCEN regulations. The added feature of concealing the source of the transaction does not change that person’s status under the BSA.

> An anonymizing software provider is not a money transmitter. FinCEN regulations exempt from the definition of money transmitter those persons providing “the delivery, communication, or network access services used by a money transmitter to support money transmission services.” This is because suppliers of tools (communications, hardware, or software) that may be utilized in money transmission, like anonymizing software, are engaged in trade and not money transmission.

Thats probably the real interesting story here...
I guess I shouldn't use a VPN, because that might look like I have something to hide. Using cash? No way! If I use cash I might look like a criminal. Leave my cell phone at home? No way, I wouldn't want to be suspicious, would I? I need the government to surveil me every second of every day, because if they don't, maybe I'm a criminal.

Amazon Introduces AR Packages in Celebration of Halloween
I had an allergic reaction to fluoroquinolone antibiotics when I had a kidney infection. It resulted in visual disturbances, snow looking at bright colors and floaters. Some neurological symptoms, fatigue, numbness, tingling. Some musculoskeletal issues, such as tendon/muscle pain and cracking in many joints. This has been a constant struggle for 8 years now. I have met others who had the same reactions, some recover, some find help through diet, some can't walk at all. Doctors usually gaslight you, even though all these symptoms are now on the black box label, which these antibiotics carry.

I have gotten some relief. Initially, could not walk for few weeks due to severe pain. Remote work helps. However, as long as I keep consistent eating schedule, low sugar diet, and eat clean I can my symptoms pretty mild and can do enough to feel "normal". Sometimes I do get hit with nasty tendon flair up and need to brace it. Brain fog is gone and neurological symptoms have improved.

Apparently, there have been cases of individuals recovering after 10+ years. There was a doctor who did a lot of work with people affected by FQs but he unfortunately passed away. Thankfully, surgeons and other doctors are now coming forward discussing the issues and trying to figure out how the damage can be reversed.
Probably going to be braindead in my early 60s. I've had multiple chronic pain issues and I'm just turning 30. I had a lot of maladaptive coping mechanisms for pain, but I found coping mechanisms. Knowing I'm not likely to live to an old age is more motivating than disheartening, I need to get things done and live life now while I still can.

No you're very wrong.

>No, one kind of technical debt arises that way. Not the only kind. There's another kind that arises when everything is in such small pieces that nobody can tell how the pieces relate to each other. You can easily understand each piece, but you have to go through a chain of a bazillion function calls to see what's actually going on.

All this logic must exist regardless of whether it's coupled or uncoupled. You do not alleviate the logical burden by coupling logic together or uncoupling the logic. If you call this "technical debt" then you cannot get rid of it. Why even call it debt then as logic is intrinsic to application.

In fact decoupling logic can improve readability as it marks each piece of logic with a contextual function name. Either way you do not alleviate complexity by coupling logic. You alleviate this complexity problem by providing logical layers, using namespaces, and using good function naming.

Coupling logic into Objects does nothing objectively as it does not eliminate complexity it only makes sure that the complexity is LESS modular.

Let's be clear though. I am saying that the lower levels of your application should be ALL uncoupled logic. Then you build logical layers on top of your primitives that consists of compositions of your logic that build higher and higher. So a person on layer 5 only needs to go to layer 4 to understand it, and does not need to go to layer 1 to understand every primitive.

>This is like economists, who have correctly predicted nine of the last two recessions. Sure, you're prepared for when the change comes (if you can find where to make it - see above). You've also prepared for all the changes that never come. That's rather wasteful.

Analogies don't offer proof of an argument. Additionally it's not a good analogy. Economists don't completely understand what causes recessions and how to prevent them. We do, however, completely understand the difference between uncoupled logic and coupled logic.

>Sure, it may. And when that happens, we'll decouple it. And in the meantime, we'll enjoy the coupling that, at the moment, is the correct thing.

This is the main point of tech debt. It is hard to decouple. You can have all logic decoupled at the lowest layer and still have everything be readable. I think the previous sentence is just a type of programming you haven't dealt with. You've never wrote a program with decoupled logic that was readable. Think deeper. There is no reason why coupled logic should be more readable then decoupled logic. The Logic still exists either way, you either compose two modules and give it a name or you don't even use modules shove all your logic into a module with a single name.

>See, this is all in the context of SOLID, the very first piece of which is "Single Responsibility". We don't couple things on a whim.

The problem is OOP does this all the time. It couples state with logic. These two things should be uncoupled.
I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. But at the end of the day, this defense is predicated on making a US federal judge understand all those technical details.

I think the most commonsense reform is to have computer crime handled by specialized courts, much the same as tax law currently is. These domains are simply too complex to have them handled by legal generalists, who are expected to learn it all from first principles on each and every case.
I appreciate your insight into the 3rd party aspect of BB programs but I fear you're also setting a dangerous precedant of _outsourcing liability_ from major companies to small open source devs.

If I get hacked and find out Discord was the vector, I'm not going to let them off the hook when they shrug and say "3rd party code man, it happens". In the end, I'm a discord user, I don't want RCE exploits in software I use.
I think the argument is that, given that climate cycles are natural and not a result of human carbon (etc) emissions, reducing carbon emissions is not a effective way to combat nature, and there's no political will to undertake strategies that would actually be effective. (To be fair, it is actually true that reducing carbon emissions is not a effective way to combat nature; the position of non-stupid advocates is rather that it's the least ineffective method.)
Re>> "The scientists who undertook this project knew it was the next generation that would benefit from the knowledge"

Yes. The scope/lifetime of the spacecraft was only to explore the outer planets. The scientists and engineers who designed and built it took it upon themselves to ensure it could stay within the budgetary constraints and exceed the mission scope. Everyone interested in Voyager should watch the documentary "The Farthest" - great documentary!
> Blocking content on a political basis as a non-internet content provider would be more than enough to get you treated as a publisher.

The key point here is "in pre-section 230 law". Prodigy Services was one the cases that prompted Congress to pass Section 230. Why cite outdated cases to try to prove your point? What's next, Dred Scott v. Sandford?
I actually watched a couple of videos by Yannic Kilcher in the recent days, but that is a completely different format. There is probably a reason he does videos and not audio only, why he is not interviewing (and interviewing a different person with different expertise each episode).

What I value in Lex's content is that it is not complete pop-science level, that he is very neutral and especially that he leads his guest to make opinionated statements. The last point is usually the single value nugget I can extract from the episodes. It is basically a shortcut for me watching Yannic Kilcher like videos and getting deep into a topic through the proxy of a person who is not rarely one of the best in his field. I do not have the time / energy to get deeply into compilers and programming language design I just want to get a feeling in broad strokes where the field is heading, what are the key developments and bottlenecks that have shaped the past and especially future of certain technologies and applications.

I will probably dig a (tiny) bit deeper into MLIR after listening to the podcast because it seems to me to be the 80/20 kind of way to get a better feeling for the developments happening in compilers and how ML workloads are mapped to accelerators.
The payments landscape is under great flux for those of us that live it and know extremely well first hand. As a serial entrepayneur having been in this "game" for many decades more and more business' are coming to realize they need to own and control the process from customer to bank in order to offer better support in this now nearly complete digital online world. The middlemen are jockeying for position through value added service functions and customer lock in through such technologies as tokenization while the card brands and competing FinTechs continue to buy up all up and coming payments companies globally. If you want control you need to own it yet very few seem to understand this thinking as most believe payments is more than just ones and zeros which it is not.
This is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with modern sociology.

Any aspect of good experiment design that is involved will go into the first half here: and so it shows women not being exactly equal or superior to men at some very specific task. Fine, that might be true; it might not; further experiments could probably get more conclusive about it, but you'd need a much wider number of people and a wider array of different situations and contexts to ensure it's a fair study.

The problem is the the interpretation of the data out the other end. "Suggestive evidence" that this is driven by "stereotype threat"; this belies an implicit assumption that there's no reasonable biological explanation for this situation. This assertion is borne out by no actual evidence; but this paper itself becomes yet another piece of "evidence" supporting the idea, because it can and will be cited as such despite not proving it at all. Slowly, a mountain of these papers develops, and consensus builds, but there's no there there.

There's no attempt here (or really anywhere, anymore) to find an evolutionary-psychological reason for why this observed behaviour occurs.
Not strictly environmental, no, but an economic externality nonetheless. I agree it's a stretch to use it in an argument about CO2 emissions, though.

I agree to some extent, except that lower cost food means access to higher quality lower cost food. That's a good thing.

Growing up in the UK in the 80s most people were eating a post war inspired limited diet.

> But we do know that the Western diet is bad for people's health, and we do know that it's hard on the environment, so it's worth considering alternatives.

The western diet is all things to all men. In my circle the "Mediterranean" diet is largely what people aspire to on a daily basis with everything else enriching their food experience on a less frequent basis.
1. Legacy

2. Trust Domains (half completed, but littered throughout the code as nss3 prefix). This was being lead by Sun and stopped when Oracle acquired them.

3. libpkix: This was done by porting Java code to C using preprocessor macros to simulate exception handling. It implemented path discovery, and not just verification, and was used by Firefox for EV processing (AIUI), and was always used by Chrome on Linux/ChromeOS (until recently replaced with the Chromium built-in verifier)

4. mozilla::pkix, which started off as Brian Smith’s insanity::pkix rewrite of a minimalist path builder/verifier. I can’t remember if this launched while Brian was still at Mozilla or after he had left, but Brian would later take the approach he used for insanity::pkix when writing the Rust webpki project ( https://github.com/briansmith/webpki )

Each of the above APIs had significantly different interfaces for controlling verification. The trust domain stuff wasn’t as visible, because it was only half-completed.

> You can go argue with Neil deGrasse Tyson

Show me an actual textbook or peer-reviewed paper Tyson has written where he makes this claim. Pop science videos don't count. (Tyson is by no means the only one; Brian Greene is notorious for the same thing.)

You won't be able to because there aren't any. No scientist who talks about a photon "experiencing zero time" in informal contexts will try it in a textbook or paper. That's because they know that if they did, other scientists would call them out on it, so they confine such claims to contexts where there are no other experts so there's nobody to call bullshit.

Another point is that if this concept were actually scientifically useful, somebody would be using it in a textbook or peer-reviewed paper. The fact that nobody is is a huge clue that the concept is not scientifically useful. It's only useful for selling pop science books or getting views of pop science videos, where, again, there are no other experts around.
