That seems like a bit of a blanket statement. There are plenty of situations where someone may have not just the right, but a responsibility to force to you to do something against your will. I hate to use the police as an example, because there are plenty of cases against them because some of them abuse their rights and fail in their responsibilities, but police have the right and a duty to stop you driving while you're drunk for example, preventing harm or attempted murder, rape, or fraud. They are supposed to be properly trained for this. This is why we all have rights AND responsibilities, you can't just do whatever you want at the expense of others if you're thinking only of your rights. This is the point of encouraging, and in some cases enforcing, stay at home orders, wearing masks, social distancing.

Melbourne in Australia enforced strict stay at home orders for a number of weeks, against the purported rights and will of many, because the state government decided it's the responsibility of citizens to do what's best for their city, or country, or society, to ensure the wellbeing of their fellow citizens and avoid country wide calamity by the pandemic. The people made a sacrifice of personal time and liberty so that the sacrifice wouldn't forced upon others by the personal choices of selfish individuals, in the form needless death and illness for hundreds or thousands of people, it also likely prevented more severe economic ramifications, and I think it was heroic and responsible that they did so.
Frankly, I think Apple sued Samsung because Steve Jobs was still CEO at the time, and he sometimes acted emotionally instead of rationally.
That seems awfully short sighted. Sure, I think it is really bad to give/get an experience that you don't want (if someone got me tickets to a concert of a band I dislike, I would feel frustrated/guilty). But it sounds like very reasonable gifts that just didn't pan out. Do you not go to baseball games now because of that experience?
Meaningful how ?

If product A grows by 20% and product B grows by 50%, what are you going to do with 1.2 and 1.5 exactly ? (1.2+1.5)/2 has what meaning ?
More like innovated fun in the desert!
"Avoid premature optimization" applies to gift-giving too.

There are many areas where you could optimize the gift-giving process. I imagine you could also turn it into a science, with carefully researched formulae and experiment-driven results.

This, to me, seems to miss the point a little bit. You're not supposed to give the perfect gift. You're not supposed to generate the optimal amount of joy in the recipient. You are supposed to form a connection with the recipient, and have that feeling reciprocated. That's the real test of a good gift.

It doesn't matter if they never use the gift after tomorrow. It doesn't matter if they have the same dollar valuation of the gift as the giver does. What matters is if they genuinely appreciate the gesture and, at least for the moment, enjoy the feeling the gift gives them.

Yes, and gas fees for failed transactions ensure you can’t just take unlimited shots at it either. However, if you are monitoring the markets and your code, connections to the network, etc. are fast enough, you can make a fortune using flash loans. A few days ago I found a trade where someone made $17k on a single trade [1] with the only necessary capital being a ~$170 transaction fee. They took a $250k flash loan that they successfully arbitraged. Smaller amounts are made all day every day.

Yes, I would think static linking would lead to higher disk usage for binaries.

That analysis doesn't really answer the question re: disk usage and doesn't really quantify how much sharing there is from shared libraries, just how many shared libraries don't get shared... basically "Do your installed programs share dynamic libraries" is answered as "not really" because there s a long tail of libraries that are not widely shared.

Drew's stats shows 80% of binaries link to libc (1.8MB on my system), which by itself could be "a lot" of extra storage. It wouldn't be 80% * 1.8MB per executable if unused symbols weren't linked, but still

That's your interpretation but it doesn't change the fact that physically you cannot add temperatures. You can take the numerical value of one temperature, add something to it, and re interpret it as a temperature; But the '+' operation on temperature does not have any physical meaning.

Replace "temperature" by "speed in kilometer/hour" in your sentence : "we cannot add 18 km/h and 20 km/h but I can add 2 km/h to 18 km/h because +2 km/h is a vector" it doesn't make sense to me
Even without being able to compile it I've successfully used their source dumps to debug problems in my code quite a few times (and occasionally find bugs in their code which I have to work around). Having code with comments to read is a huge step up from having to rely on decompilers.
It just seems like someone here would be able to figure it out somehow.
Maybe it was because you were trying to talk to a human in the first place?

One very common one is for situations where you might have a multi-step pipeline to process data

- step 1 generates/processes data, stores it in S3, overwriting the previous copy. triggers step 2 to run

- step 2 runs, fetches the data from s3 for its own processing. However, because only a few seconds have elapsed, step 2 fetches the old version of data from the S3 bucket

You can work around this by, for example, always using unique S3 object keys, but then you have to coordinate across the data processing steps, and it becomes harder to manage things like storing only the 10 latest versions.

The Argo workflow tool (https://argoproj.github.io/) is one example of a tool that can suffer from this problem.

> Pebble had the right idea. But they executed too slowly and too late.

They were also _way_ too small to compete with the industrial design, manufacturing capability, and marketing clout of Apple. Or even Samsung. They were inevitably gonna get crushed.

And I say this as a four time Pebble Kickstarter backer who could see it even back then. A couple of kids with an amazing YC pitch deck and ambitions-untempered-by-experience-or-reality? They were never gonna "win" if Jony Ives and Foxconn ended up in their market segment. I don't regret a cent I spent with Pebble. I hope the founders made out like bandits when they sold out, and I hope it launched them onto spectacular career trajectories. But they never really stood a chance of being the top player in any sophisticated consumer electronics space...
They are primarily used for arbitrage transactions. Token swaps on decentralized exchanges are instant - there is no order book. So you can compose a single transaction that involves many exchanges, swaps involving different tokens, flash loans, etc. If the transaction ends with a profit after the loan is paid back, at the market prices that exist at the time the transaction is executed, the flash loan occurs, and profits are collected by the person that created the transaction. If it does not end with a profit, then the transaction is reverted as if it never existed.
I'd be curious if anyone knows what this tool may be or if it still exists?

I don't mean they'll make excuses toward customers but say they can simply blame AWS toward content providers when something happens to the infrastructure instead of begging them to wait while they prepare for a damage report on their custom infrastructure.
If a validator signs two blocks at the same height, they will be slashed, lose their tokens, and not be able to participate in consensus. They get slashed when anyone submits evidence of them doing this. This trivially solves the "nothing at stake" problem from 2014 that you wrote your long original comment about.

If I understand it correctly, you are now saying that someone would DDOS the entire gossip network, completely halting any more production of blocks so that their slashing doesn't go through?

We're not even talking about "nothing at stake", or anything having to do with PoS anymore. We're just talking about a massive DDOS of an entire network. Node operators in PoS networks, as well as Bitcoin, have ways of dealing with DDOS which are the same as how anyone deals with it, and I don't need to get into them here.

If someone was able to overcome these DDOS mitigations and completely prevent a PoS network from receiving any legitimate transactions, they could do this to Bitcoin as well.
The problem is that people in academia and outside of it were saying the same thing in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00's ... so if you really want to make the claim that "society is not getting return on investment for basic research", you need to claim with a straight face that this also applies to the last 50 years of academic basic research (at least). Alternatively, explain what has changed and when.

Refactoring the Tuplex programming language to be indentation-based
I was referring specifically to the list of `IO80211AWDLPeer`s the author was reverse-engineering. His assumption was that the `IO80211AWDLPeer`s were in a linked-list type of data structure (which is a pretty sensible guess). In fact, it ended up being more akin to a priority queue:

> The data structure holding the peers is in fact much more complex than a linked list, it's more like a priority queue with some interesting behaviours when the queue is modified and a distinct lack of safe unlinking and the like.

I amended my post for clarification, I'm sure Apple uses linked lists all the time :)

They call that "flash fiction" these days.
Trezor is open source, and you could generate your recovery seed on a computer and import it onto your hardware wallet. I believe Ethereum and some other cryptocurrencies prefer to use deterministic signatures on transactions, so in theory it's possible to check that all of the signatures generated by the hardware wallet match the expected deterministic signatures so you can know that the wallet isn't secretly leaking information through the signatures it's generating.

Canadian startup here. Yes; our general liability insurance has cyber provisions in it.

Usually upper management asking is either because a customer needs certain provisions or they want to make sure a certain class of risks are covered. I’d suggest you clarify what they need and then talk to your insurance broker.

Case in point: general liability could cover a breach but might not cover ransomware attacks.

"Prodigy" simply means you hit your 10,000 hours as a child.

And the "youngest grandmaster" title simply keeps moving downward, so apparently you can convert random 5 year olds into chess experts.

I really don't understand why people still cling to the notion of "talent" in intellectual pursuits. It's pretty clear that "number of hours" is what places you in the top echelons.
well they might be trying. they recently hired Brandon Azad from p0, who definitely is up there. The problem is, that a lot of high calibre security people simply don't want to work for Apple. It suppose its out of spite for all their shitty policies..
I'd say the best solution here is if a really nice money data type was developed that is configurable as necessary to hopefully satisfy the MS SQL idiosyncrasies while also maybe supporting a bit richer superset of desirable features you'd want in a money type. You could even have things like temporal currency conversion type queries if you had the right feature set.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you would only need greater than 2/3 of the amount of Ether currently staked, not 2/3 of the total amount of Ether. The amount of staked Ether probably would be less than 10% of the total issued Ether, maybe much less as staking rewards go down.

This might be as good a place as any to ask, since I'm completely out of the loop on the scene: Are there any successful crypto schemes that use human effort (labour) instead of capital/computing effort? Something like Captcha or Mechanical Turk, hopefully something generally useful to society at large. Solving problems that computers can't (yet).

It would seem to be a way to avoid the rich-get-richer aspect because hiring people wouldn't make sense - they'd get more value going it alone, so existing capital has reduced influence.

Good advices and a well written article.

To add one advice about a common occurrence the author mention:

> you might knock it out of the park one year and I might give you something that’s nowhere near as good. Next time, I'm going to want to do much better. This imbalance leads, in part, to the continuation of the tradition

When the cycle escalate I like to call that gift inflation. In case it's desirable to avoid it (it often is), simply agreeing to a spending limit helped me a lot. It might be awkward at first because we don't usually talk about the monetary value of gifts, but in my experience with siblings and significant other we're all better off.
