Here is an active deanonymization attack [1]:

> We show how an attacker can take advantage of Monero’s Bulletproof protocol, which reduces transaction fees, to flood the network with his own transactions and, consequently, remove mixins from transaction inputs. Assuming an attack timeframe of 12 months, our findings show that an attacker can trace up to 47.63% of the transaction inputs at a cost of just 1,746.53 USD.

Sounds pretty bad to me.

Here's another attack [2]:

> First, about 62% of transaction inputs with one or more mixins are vulnerable to “chain-reaction” analysis — that is, the real input can be deduced by elimination. Second, Monero mixins are sampled in such away that they can be easily distinguished from the real coins by their age distribution; in short, the real input is usually the “newest” input. We estimate that this heuristic can be used to guess the real input with 80 %accuracy over all transactions with 1 or more mixins.

I don't care what "calculations" say, if so many transactions can be deanonymized then those calculations were calculating the wrong thing.

Not the OP, but a fourth grade substitute teacher made the claim that we always saw the same side of the moon because it didn't rotate. I don't know what got to me the most: that she didn't understand, that my attempt to explain it didn't go over, or that the other kids in the class didn't get it either. In any case, I've been working on improving my explanations ever since.
How do you maintain the will to live?
Consider a compiler that compiles some malformed programs (e.g. replaces misspelled identifiers with a closest match, ignores missing ';'s etc). Will you want your Tesla's software to be compiled with such a compiler or would you prefer they used the strictest compiler available with extra linting with something like Coverity?

The same sentiment is for critical systems in a car: them working when they should not work is not an amazing feat of engineering but a defect.

> putting someone in a skilled nursing facility costs about 10,000/month nominally

Who on earth is able to afford this?

Everywhere I look there are nursing homes full of ordinary people. I can't believe more than 0.1% of these people are literally able to afford $10,000/month. People live in those places for 20 years sometimes. That's $24,000,000. It just doesn't add up, dude.

I think the actual cost is way, way, way less.

The Pulitzer focus on the individual journalist has a lot to answer for sometimes. The amazing stories Greenwald wrote were all edited by an editor that helped refine, focus and potentially correct mistakes.

Would he win a Pulitzer for a piece he wrote entirely by himself? We don’t know. But the emails he released today show him objecting to exactly this process. The editor gave him a number of suggested improvements and clarifications, and he balked.
HTML was never meant for building apps. We took a square peg (document markup language) and jammed it into a round hole (app development.) Most of the problems and frustrations with web development go back to this.

There are some good communities/homes for the elderly. Here's a great example (note these are pretty expensive): https://www.humangood.org/

I'm super grateful my grandmother was able to move to one of these communities while she was still on her feet and doing well. She started in a standalone house that she lived in by herself for about 10 years. With each subsequent step of her eventual decline, there was a smooth transition to a setup that was comfortable to her, and they took excellent care of her until she passed away.

> Sure, Section 230 technically applies to smaller websites, but it is effectively immaterial: Smaller websites and communities have reasonable, defensible human moderation activities.

The reasonability of every word you write tests upon small sites doing an ok fair reasonable job right now, & the contention that is only big sites that do and/or will every have problems. Your post declared that these what folks will forever obviously be well-intended enough to skate clearly & effortlessly through a new legal regine without safe harbor where we suddenly mandate government-regulated moderation that enforces national standards upon all private platforms. This, to me, is hell.
The context of that prediction were the extreme records set by sea ice in 2012, when it did almost disappear. That made some scientists think that we were seeing a nonlinear phase shift and that it would not recover. It did recover, and resumed its linear downward trajectory.

But if your takeaway from that is that scientists are overconfident and wrong, that is insane, because the important thing to know about sea ice is that at its yearly minimum, its volume is a third of what it was in 1980. No matter how you cut it, it's almost gone.

If you read Greenwald’s piece, you will understand why he disagrees with you. I, personally, credit his ethics more than I credit TheIntercept’s editor and this is why I immediately subscribed his substack.
Yes. If you're trying to get all the performance you can out of an A/D -- that's tricky business. Far easier to use a faster A/D with a simpler front-end filter. Getting really high-performance A/D subsystems is... not trivial. There is a reason 'standard' Industrial systems are usually 12 bits. The other issue is of course: what's the unwanted noise on the input signal? If that is not controlled, you'll be wasting some of your LSBs to noise anyway. Here is a good reference book: https://www.analog.com/en/education/education-library/data-c... Analog Devices has much more, too: https://www.analog.com/en/products/analog-to-digital-convert...

A small user base is absolutely a problem, if there are only so many zcash nodes then traffic analysis becomes very easy.

Though, if there are only a few transactions each day that's not as large of an issue as it sounds; the blockchain still has no linkability between transactions. Active attacks might work but few attackers can pull those off, and no attacker is able to go back in time to deanonymize older transactions (assuming the cryptography holds).

This effect can have serious implications for the criminal justice system.

Suppose two men were in an altercation with a woman, and during the altercation one of the men briefly flashed a knife. One man was black and one was white.

If the first person to question a witness asks something like "When in the altercation did the black man flash the knife?", there is a chance that the witness will remember the black man flashing the knife even if it was actually the white man who did so. If the first questioner instead just asked the witness to describe the altercation and any weapons that were used, that same witness would have been much more likely to correctly place the knife with the white man.

There have been quite a few experiments about this sort of thing, not only achieving altered memories but even going so far as to give people memories of whole events that did not happen.

BTW, expectations also can alter how memories are initially recorded. Even without someone asking a bad question like "When did the black man flash the knife?", if the white man is dressed in a suit and the black man is dressed like however the witness imagines a street thug would be dressed, there is a decent chance they will remember the black man as having the knife. If other stuff is going on and the flashing of the knife is just a passing detail, it gets remembered where it makes the most sense.

In our current criminal justice system in the US there are nowhere near sufficient safeguards to make sure that poorly chosen questions will not alter witness memory, or to even detect that it might have happened. I don't know if any other countries handle this better than the US.

If you have resources to support the third child, and you chose to not spend them on the child, you should feel some guilt for slowing down the progress of humanity. There is limited time until a meteorite hits the earth, or CO2 runs out, or some other life ending event happens on earth, and the more people live until that, the more possibilities we will be able to explore leading to higher likelihood that we discover new science and art increasing liveable space and improving everyone's life.

If you look at the history, every discovery was made due to very rare and specific combination of factors, and the only way to create such combinations is by trying many life paths in parallel.

I see that Rebuilding Rails doesn't mention a version number of the book, and sales page is actually very uninformative about the actual content. Elsewhere I see it was first published in 2012- How relevant do you find the 'latest' version to modern development? And what is the latest version, has it been updated for rails 6?

Have you got any other recommendations for intermediate to advanced rails topics?

My god, thank you. I remember as a kid this explanation "the top has to move fast to meet the bottom stream at the trailing edge" always confused the hell out of me. Why do the top and bottom have to meet? How would they know? Even as a 10 year old it confused me no-one could answer this.

You clearly know how easy it is to take someone's words out of context and twist them into something they aren't. A good editor brings clarity and brevity.

The editor was telling Greenwald to focus on the story he could prove and tell effectively. That's not "censorship", that's good writing advice. He wanted to propagate flimsy partisan conspiracies instead.

If he wants to do that in his own name, that's fine. But he is not entitled to put the Intercept's reputation behind it.
I don’t believe you have read even Greenwald’s side. If you read, you will understand his opinion even if you disagree with it.
I could be wrong but that blame will still be partially on this vague and seemingly bias non-profit.

Does federal income tax include or not include FICA? Presumably not. In which case the bottom 90%+ are paying some number of 10-15% more per year. Then the top few percent are paying less extra until you get to the top 1% and beyond where they are paying a fraction extra.

That tax alone completely invalidates the article and makes it seem incredibly biased.

If "safe space mode" is on by default, and you can't see a pundit without turning it on, I don't see how that is different from demoting or hiding a tweet behind a disclaimer. Or, for that matter, how it is really different from having to go to another platform where safe space mode doesn't exist, to even know it exists.

As an aside, the constant bashing of "twitter kids" and allusions to political speech like "all lives matter" being censored (which is not happening, as far as I know) seems counterproductive.
>Some elderly are able to keep their freedom and the dignity and quality of life that go with it by using tech to stay connected, provide reminders and alarms and so forth to mitigate some of the issues that cause us to think they would be better off with supervision in a nursing home.

Yeah. My 83 year old Mom with multiple issues views those tools as something only an old lady needs, and so rejects them. She can use Facebook with the same level of skill as it takes to make and receive the phone calls that the social internet supplanted.

Right now, "elderly" is largely people who were born before most people owned televisions, and technological solutions aren't always greeted with a "yay, more!" attitude. I'm sure a lot of prewar and boomer people stopped wanting to learn yet another piece of "modern tech" somewhere between TiVo and smart phones.

I like Javascript and Express, so in that sense they are OK. I hate the brittleness of the ecosystem, the "flavor of the month" character, and the explosion of options, there are people who like that setup: small programs that you can plug and play to create your whole stack, I find that tiresome, I prefer big monoliths in which the best options and practices are universally agreed upon.

Ah and I hate Typescript, nice idea, but when you spend 30% of your time looking after all those custom types and end up using an ":any" hack to make it work, this leaves a bad taste in your mouth. If I am going to use strong types I would choose an actual strongly-typed language for that, C# is great.
I noticed a while ago that the powers of 1001 encode the successive rows of
pascal's triangle/the binomial coefficients. This is not so surprising, since
we are effectively taking powers of the polynomial (1+x), but replacing x with
1000 (clearly it works the same if we use any other power of ten instead). I
wonder if we can find a relationship to that here. We might start by looking at
this relation:

1/(1-x) = 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + ...

Hopefully this will yield an operator x whose succesive powers are the
fibonacci numbers. Take .01/(1-x) = 1/89, then x = 0.11. Actually, the powers of
x, just like 1001 above, will yield rows of pascal's triangle. So the taylor
expansion above tells us that F(k) = Σ(n=0..k-1) B(n, k), in other words that
each fibonacci number is the sum of a diagonal of pascal's triangle (like here:
https://cdn1.byjus.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/maths/2016...)

More generally, we can compute numbers with decimal expansions of the fibonacci
numbers with 10^-2n / (1 - 10^-n - 10^-2n). Notice that this is just the
z-transform of the recurrence relation of the fibonacci series, with 10^n
replacing z:

Z(f(n)) = Z(f(n-1) + f(n-2) + δ(n-2)) (δ is the kronecker delta)
F(z) = z^-2 / (1 - z^-1 - z^-2)

The taylor expansion of this expression has coefficients equal to the terms of
the fibonacci sequence - which makes sense, because that's the definition of
the z-transform. We can, with a little rearranging, get an explicit formula
for the fibonacci sequence from it too:

Take φ± = (1 ± √5)/2
Then F(z) = z^2/(z - φ+)/(z - φ-)
= ( φ+ z/(z - φ+) - φ- z/(z - φ-) )/√5 (by partial fraction decomposition)
Z^-1(F(z)) = f(n) = (φ+^(n+1) - φ-^(n+1))/√5
