While I also believe what you’d at to be true, I fail to see how this is any different than Tim Ferriss or many other people like him.

If Tim says X works, how many Silicon Valley types suddenly start doing it?

In fact, given that former Navy SEAL Jocko Wilnick is all the rage in the business world and Tim Ferriss is also followed by the same crowd, the crossover between those two groups is probably larger than you think.
Let me know when everything on iCloud is fully end-to-end encrypted. Until then, Apple are still knowingly compromising security in the interests of other priorities.

Maybe those priorities are well-intentioned, helping to make sure their customers don't lose access to precious photos because they lost some important key. Maybe they are driven by more nefarious motives, such as the endless rumours of government interventions. It doesn't really matter, because the gaping security vulnerability is there all the same, and much of what Apple does actively pushes users into it, and at the same time Apple makes a big deal about the security and privacy of its devices.

At least if you are technically inclined you can read their more technical documentation to understand what is really happening, which is to their credit. But it seems likely that most people potentially affected by that vulnerability won't have done so.
Huh? Their rest mass is 0, but, they have energy, E = h * frequency iirc, so, shouldn't they therefore have a relativistic mass? (if one is going to use the concept relativistic mass at all that is)

They make it either illegal or costly and impractical for someone who worries they might become suicidal to hand their guns to a trusted friend or relative for safekeeping.

This is not an academic point - I have had a friend who was worried about needing to do this, and I have heard of veterans who have asked their friends to take their guns temporarily.

> No (and sort of yes). The result of the timestamp is instantly verifiable against the timestamped data, meaning the results of the timestamp can be viewed on a public blockchain explorer or using an API that interfaces with the blockchain, without trusting our code. If another party doesn't trust our frontend code, they can build their own frontend logic that interfaces with the blockchain in the backend to independently verify results. If someone is using our app, they implicitly trust our code, yes, but they don't have to trust our database. That's the difference.

I think you misinterpreted the attack I was describing.

Let's say you rewrite your front-end code to change the timestamp. Sure, someone could read it, but reading source code every time it's updated is not a sustainable security practice. It's also especially easy to hide malicious code in JavaScript.

How does blockchain prevent that attack? Your blockchain is memorializing data that you have interfered with. Someone can definitely verify that whatever photo is on the blockchain was really added to it at whatever timestamp. But how does that give them any proof that the photo was actually taken at that timestamp?

All the blockchain does is say, "At [timestamp], this photo was added to the blockchain." It doesn't offer proof of who took it, where it was taken, what the subject was, or (crucically) when it was actually taken.

And that basic guarantee (that the photo was taken at a certain timestamp) is just as easy to accomplish with an append-only database.

Regardless, this is all about mitigating an extremely unlikely attack: your own company. Why do your own clients need to verify that you are trustworthy?

> What our app does is require the photos to be taken in-browser

> We ask the transporters to take a photo of the VIN in the frame, along with other photos (body, odometer, etc.).

I agree that these measures likely stop close to 100% of attempts to defraud you, especially because there is a chain of custody that makes fraud more difficult.

But I still don't see any reason this couldn't/shouldn't have just been built on a vanilla RDBMS. Hell, if you want to verify the timestamp, you could just instantly email the photo to someone via Gmail, since you can't fudge Gmail's SMTP timestamps.

As I said before, using blockchain here decentralizing trust in a situation where the source of truth is... you. And it still doesn't make you trustworthy, since you can alter the photos before ever hashing them.

There's plenty of workflows that work just fine with large files. As long as you're segmenting the code somehow and have a quick way to navigate to a specific section, it doesn't really make a difference how code is layed out.

It could be that his workflow is to always navigate by searching function names. Then it doesn't really matter if the project is 1 file or 1000.

Unfortunately, I don't see that the West, and the United States in particular, is in a position to do anything in the near future. China seems to know that. They have by-and-large solved their Coronavirus problem months ago (with some pretty draconian methods), but the West is still reeling.

The US is heading into a pretty contentious election, nobody is sure whether or not we're on the brink of a recession, international diplomatic relationships are in tatters. If the CCP took Taiwan right now, I don't see the US lifting a finger.
Tibet really is the perfect case study for US agitprop. The typical audience for this material literally know nothing about the region outside of state dept/cia pr. For example, the Lamas ran a feudal theocracy but get played up like disney characters. I guess those are only supposed to be bad to the atheists here if it's scary Muslims. Or how it's portrayed as some invasion about as much as the union "invaded" the confederacy.

It's also a perfect illustration of how otherwise supposedly intelligent people in tech are just as easily manipulate outside their area of expertise as the fox news audience.
So the above advocates for a "complete owner-controlled" system, but the users in the market (every human) is also buoyed with cash and information where they can make market decisions not solely based on their income and thus market decisions that may, if they wish, be based on non-survival based values they have and by nature of increased demand, increase their market prevalence.
"Lee, who told employees to “change everything except your wife and children” during his drive to foster innovation and challenge rivals such as Sony Corp., was South Korea’s richest person. He had an estimated net worth of $20.7 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Samsung, the biggest of South Korea’s family-run industrial groups, known as chaebol, has been led by his only son since the heart attack.

“Chairman Lee was a true visionary who transformed Samsung into the world-leading innovator and industrial powerhouse from a local business,” the company said. “His legacy will be everlasting.”

Named one of the world’s 100 most influential people by Time magazine in 2005, Lee began overhauling Samsung Electronics after he saw the company’s products gathering dust in a Los Angeles electronics store, according to “The Lee Kun Hee Story,” a 2010 biography by Lee Kyung-sik. The Suwon, South Korea-based company had become known for cheap, low-quality electronics gear and was in the “second phase of cancer,” sending out 6,000 people to fix products made by 30,000 employees, Lee said in 1993, according to the biography."

No, a spade is a spade, the patient clearly said the Doctor didn't _believe_ him.

This isn't an in-the-zone 'tunnel vision' moment from the doctor, this isn't high stress shutting off the outside world, or CSR type reaction. This is someone _assuming_ a patient was telling a lie, who then lacked the duty-of-care to confirm it, before inflicting unnecessary pain.

I am all for checklists, they are a big part of my work processes and they are desperately needed in many medical and nursing workflows, but this particular case is just lack of common sense and duty-of-care.

Where our culture used to dream of flying cars, we seem to be leaving our technocratic utopian bull run. In my opinion, we are entering a cultural period of “cementing” the gains from the switch to digital life. For example, over the last ten years we all got cameras in our pocket and over the next ten years we will figure out new ways to use the pictures.

That same process is happening everywhere...how should companies use Slack? How do small companies measure digital ad effectiveness well? How do we limit phone addiction?

As a result, innovation may be slower as we collectively optimize and distribute new technology.

P.S. learning how to retrofit a US city away from car-culture and toward a city that works for everyone is simultaneously iterative and radical.
Accordingly to my Korean colleagues, he has been in a coma since 2014 and has been just the chairman in name. There are no pictures of him after 2014.
Wow - "Enter Korean tax code. Korea has 50% inheritance tax on assets above $2.5m. When Lee Gunhee dies, his family will owe the government $7b. The family will have to sell personal stakes of Samsung-controlled assets, weakening the strong, complex investment structure they built."

That's pretty impactful in terms of potentially forcing the family to sell off control, isn't it?
I have a Four Phase chip that I'll write about at some point. (Not the AL1 arithmetic/logic chip, but an I/O chip.) I think the main reason that Four Phase's AL1 didn't get more attention is that the processor was used as part of a proprietary computer, so it didn't have much visibility. In comparison, the 8008 was sold as an individual product with extensive documentation and support (essentially creating the microcomputer industry). The other factor is that improvements in NMOS made four-phase logic the losing technology, so it was mostly forgotten.
Maybe our best hope is to get more children enthusiastic enough about programming that they won't want the locked-down devices that Big Tech is selling.

Well, the saying goes that democracy is the worst form of government, besides every other form of government we've tried.

Freedom's no elixir, but proprietary isn't either. You have to trust someone, but in a better world, that's a community of experts reviewing freedom respecting software.

Sometimes, the benefits of that centralized control are real, but the concomitant abuse of said centralization appears almost axiomatically inevitable at this point, so you have to ask yourself if the benefits are even worth it. Microsoft's OS itself has nearly turned into spyware. It'll be signed spyware, assured that it's doing what Microsoft wants it to do. If I'm going to get exploited, I can at least get exploited while remaining free. There's a real chance that maybe I'm not getting exploited if I'm free, but just about 0% chance if I'm not even free.

I'm no ideologue, just sayin'.

What a brutal way to go. It has been widely speculated that he has been in a vegetative state since 2014, kept on life support to give the company time to restructure its assets and consolidate power under Lee Kun-Hee's son, Lee Jae-yong, so that their family's power persists even in the wake of paying South Korea's enormous wealth taxes.

Samsung undoubtedly played a key role in South Korea's economic ascendance, but Lee Kun-Hee will leave behind a complicated legacy of industrialization mixed with corruption and hyper-crony capitalism.

The reasonings assumes I don't know what's going on. This approach is precisely why I never tried ZMQ.

How do you know my circumstances? Maybe this system has tuned rmem_max/wmem_max so I don't care about kernel buffers? Maybe my programs have problems with multi-gigabyte queues? Why are you assuming stuff for me?

The right answer of course is you don't expose a single "queue size" value, but you don't hide it either. Instead, expose something like "list of sockets: for each, here is an fd and a size of userspace queue". I'll then query the kernel myself to get sender's and receiver's kernel buffer size and so on.

Life is hard enough without libraries hiding stuff from you!

Atheism, or a disbelief in a lack of an afterlife is as much a belief system as theism. There is no way to prove it one way or the other, so I still caution against subscribing to such a hardcore position. Especially because that afterlife does not need to be immediately after death but could be in the far future, but you would have no concept of time until then.

I don't see why it's so fantastical to think that it's possible that eventually a sufficiently powerful computing system will be developed in the far future and we will all be recreated in simulation in it, from which in our own perspective it will seem and be for all practical purposes an afterlife.

In fact maybe the eschatological doctrines of many world religions throughout history is just to motivate mankind to reach such a technological state and then effective "revive the dead".

That might indeed be unrelated to the very central point, but I'm going to be slightly pedantic since this HN anyways.

So, you might not realize this, but actually the modern view of feudalism as a class system arising from the need of one class to control various factors of production, thus necessitating class warfare, is also Marxist. Marx did not just write about capitalism, he was basically one of the first sociologists writ large.

The general idea that the purpose of the government is to assist in class conflict is 100% Marxist. In fact, the definition of class in the modern sense that allows class warfare as a concept to really make sense is also Marxist. Indeed, the Marxist idea of class warfare wasn't just to explain capitalism, but also as an analysis of history, it provided the insight as of why changes in systems of governments seem to coincide with major economic developments, and so the first example of class warfare according to Marx goes all the way back to the invention of agriculture.

I don't mean this in a derogatory way at all, Marx's definitions here are generally accepted to be true even today in social sciences in general. In fact, I generally agree with your point, that the private sphere is not inherently good and the public sphere not inherently bad.

The logistical cost varied depending on how deliberate the action was. Some killings, like the famous one in Romania, took a lot of planning. Others were more ad hoc, mostly using squads that would have been operating anyway, or using groups of nationals that could not have been turned to a more “useful” purpose (forgive the cold language!) It’s a large topic.
A guy I know uses 5-axis milling machines and special forges to make replica teeth from different substrates. According to him the cubic zirconia is the better option. I have seen many of these scans, and the instruments he uses are pretty impressive.

The software that runs the scans allows him view them in 3D with full rotation, correct for scanning errors and make adjustments in real-time, and has a library of cadaver teeth which can be used to automate creating a suitable replacement, which can then be modified to suit. It’s really amazing.

Then the milling machine picks its tools and does the carving out of a circular puck of the desired substrate. It’s a closed box and talks to the software over the LAN or USB.

After milling the tooth, he color matches it with powders and color swatches and then cures it in a desktop forge. Really quite amazing technology, and it fits in a couple small rooms in his home lab. He makes good money and employs his wife and another tech. Not bad for being your own boss. He gets orders from local and distant dentists, and he loans out his own scanners, as many dentists still use older or lower resolution units.

Apparently the milling machine costs around $150K, and the software is also pretty pricey. Not sure about the forge, but it’s also expensive. Not really sure how you would get into this field, but many of the skills seem to be something you can learn on the job. No idea about qualifications or licensing requirements, etc.
This is thoughtful but stupid because it goes in the wrong direction - new York is already at being close to the pinnacle of protecting people from their own stupidity so to speak - does this person take zero responsibility for ambling in the dark on an unknown terrace without looking _while_ drunk? When do we tell people they are just clumsy and need to own up to it? Many new york rooftops are closed for this reason because their insurance premium goes up, thanks to people like this author.

We definitely lived through times when not everyone was attached to a safety harness when going to a protection less terrace. I understand the absolute need for employee protection in a work environment, but as long as precautions are taken so that truly vulnerable populations (kids) can't be harmed even when they are paying attention, communities need to grow up and not coddle everyone's laziness to pay attention to their surroundings like this.

See for example rules done right in this regard - Amsterdam doesn't mandate helmets for bikers.
In a system like this, parties would look very different - instead of "big tents" that promote groupthink long term, you'd have multiple small, often single-issue parties. And similarly, voters would pick different parties to represent them on different issues.

One would expect the rate of police killings to be proportional to the homicide rate, since that is what is supposed to drive dangerous police encounters. Looking at police kills per 10M, divided by the homicide rate per 100k:

Australia: 9.55
Egypt: 8.45
USA: 6.75
Canada: 5.57
Sweden: 5.56
Norway: 4.04
Netherlands: 3.90
New Zealand: 2.86
Germany: 1.37
Japan: 0.77
England: 0.42

So 41% less than the rate of Australia, 21% more than Canada and Sweden, 67% more than Norway, and 73% more than the Netherlands. Not great, but not terrible.
