Compare it to traditional security. If you want to steal a few dollars you just need a sharp bit of metal and an easily frightened shopkeeper.

Of course when you leave, the shopkeeper (assuming you didn't murder them) can use a phone to inform the authorities. Then a manhunt begins involving resources like police and their cars, radios, guns, protocols, legal justice system, forensic investigators etc.

Is the sharp piece of metal a bug? Is the patch just more force, monitoring and authority?

Edit: And is the cost and risk of trusting an algorithm comparable to the human cost and risk in maintaining current securities "authenticity", which is basically a might is right system?
You could also make money by selling paperclips or by creating satellite constellations. Which path you choose comes down to interest, expertise, and luck/chance.

All businesses have constraints. In this business, you're subject to the Apple EULA. In others, you're subject to government regulation or pricing pressure due to commoditization. That's not short-sighted — no industry is forever, and there's money to be made now. Why not deploy their expertise toward financial success (and, presumably, fun)? There's demand for these services — someone's going to fill it.

For folks who don't value 'open, generic compute systems' over 'putting food on the table', the closed nature of Apple's ecosystem is just the reality they need to deal with. They're not making a moral tradeoff, just a practical one.

Are you suggesting MacStadium and co should shut down their businesses out of principle? Will you employ them once they do? Where will their customers go?

Why are these things starting to sound the same, and somehow being framed as "freedom" and "choice"...

If you don't like Facebook/Youtube/Reddit censorship(moderation), you are free not to use them (they are private platform).

If you don't like installing proprietary blobs to watch Netflix, you are free not to use Netflix (they are a private company).

If you don't like paying taxes / agree with government, you are free to not live here and move to Somalia (this is voluntary society and you choose to pay taxes!).

I'm sure there are few other similar ones, just can't recall them at the moment.
I love the morning, it’s the best time of day. I naturally tend to wake up quite early and have my whole life. However this is the time when I most prefer to do chores. It feels nice doing them in the morning, where later in the day I tend not to have the energy.
I haven't done a long-term trial.

The only things that are legally available here are ritalin and modafinil (only if you have narcolepsy). I tried 5mg of ritalin 2 or 3 times, it made me work and think faster and with more focus, but it also felt jittery and I'm not sure it was all that pleasurable.

So based on that and on worries about causing more long-term damage I haven't tried to take it longer. Maybe I should try combining it with something that's supposed to be fun, but I don't know how I feel about doing this without some kind of a plan. E.g. combining with games that are challenging I would be worried about lowering my frustration tolerance.

Even if banks continue to exist as they are, there is one meaty impact that a purely digital dollar would create: it would allow the Fed to implement negative interest rates without creating a flight to cash[0]. I'm not sure if that's good or bad thing, but it seems more impactful than branding a bank account "Americoins".

I thought barriers were required on x86 also. There are a few cases where ordering is not guaranteed. [Also the consumer should have a barrier between the test and the data read.]

Poo, minimum 32 ETH or at current prices $19k. This reinforces my dislike of staking. Only making the already rich richer. Keeping lesser ETH holders out of the profit.

"observe wavelengths that have so far never been studied by humans"

That's pretty exciting. Historically, every time we find a new way to observe the universe, we discover something that fundamentally changes our understanding.

Sure, but that's copyright for ya. Apple gets to dictate the ToU for macOS. You can say that it shouldn't be Apple's place, and I agree, but macOS isn't free software.
A new Arecibo would only generate mountains of more useless data. This isn't a troll. There is nothing we can presently do with incremental data from observatories beyond what we've already collected. We are centuries away from leaving the solar system - if we placed a moratorium on observatory construction for a century, we would still have fifty years to build new observatories in time for the data to be of use.

The NSF should be focused on the immediate and pressing matter of environmental degradation.
I'm relatively sure it worked without lilo (but that's so long ago I might be wrong).

This stackoverflow question suggests support for this was explicitly dropped from the linux kernel: https://superuser.com/questions/415429/how-to-boot-linux-ker...
The lithium in Bolivia is not going to spoil or disappear if it's not extracted right now, and the demand for lithium is probably not going to drop anytime soon. I believe that in order to persuade those opposed to mining lithium in Bolivia, you'd have to address those issues (what they're actually opposed to):

1) Stealing land rights from indigenous people.
2) Lack of environmental regulations, oversight and rehabilitation.
3) Getting ripped off by big mining corporations from across the world with a strong tendency to corrupt politicians and local police.
4) Ensuring good working conditions and compensation for miners.

But alas, for powerful people "persuasion" is often just a synonym for repression and violence.

It never, ever, hurts to write to your federal representative and senators. They and their staffers do listen and their votes directly determine the funding and oversight for NSF, NASA, and DOE.

I don't have great advice for direct advocacy (A billboard that says, "America's scientific infrastructure is collapsing -- fund science now!"?). At the grassroots level, providing opportunities for people to engage directly with science -- outreach, lab tours, science field trips, etc. help people to learn to understand the world around them, engage with science, see the infrastructure, and take ownership.

Every time I have given a lab tour, I thank everyone who attends for underwriting the science with their tax dollars. Essentially all fundamental research in the US is funded by you, the taxpayer. We are really, really grateful for the opportunity to learn something new about nature and share it with everyone. Thank you.
This is a complete fantasy, people were working on reusable vehicles for decades.

You can answer these questions yourself, though, can't you?

Masks worked the same at the beginning of the pandemic as they do now, but the government did have terrible messaging about masks being (potentially) more likely to infect you, and encouraging people not to wear masks. There was minor pushback on this. Clearly a kerchief is a shitty mask, there is public guidance that you should not be able to blow out a birthday candle with your mask on. The dude at the front of the Target isn't going to argue with you about it, but I think it's antisocial to not wear a mask or to wear a faux mask.

Large protests did spread the virus, but as it was summer, covid is UV-sensitive, and participants mostly young/healthy, the effect was muted. This also occurred with many outdoor "going-to-be-a-superspreader" events like political rallys.

Indoors is the worst case for coronavirus as home A/C systems will recirculate the virus throughout the house. Some hospitals had to rush to overhaul ventilation and filtration systems for COVID.
The standard rate might be at 10%, but from my experience it still varieas a lot. I know of two B2B companies that deviate a lot:

* Company A has a product that practically sells itself - it has been joked that sellers are "just accepting orders" from prospective clients. At that company the commision rate is just 4% (used to be 8%). Most sellers are fine with that because it's easy money.

* Company B is not having such an easy time selling their product - at that company the commision rate is a whopping 30%.

While it's great to have some ballpark figures, you also need to realize that you may need to (or be able to) pay your sellers al lot more/less, depending on your specific situation.
Assuming that shared_ptrs themselves are thread safe is a common error :(.

The standard (and boost) does provide additional operations to manipulate shared pointers themselves in a thread safe way, for example void atomic_store( std::shared_ptr<T>* p,
std::shared_ptr<T> r ) but they are not guaranteed to be lock free (and they are not in practice) and have been deprecated in C++20.

It seems that your scenario would be best be handled via hazard pointers, but if you have an atomic variable per consumer I guess in practice it is the same thing (if not and it is just a shared counter, then consumers will be conflicting with each other).

> prevent abuse by the trusted party

Actually eliminating this problem by using a cryptocurrency requires 2 crucial aspects:

1. The transaction being performed would have to be stateable and checkable 100% as an eth contract. Thus, if the deal is: I mail you my old iphone, and once I receive it, you shall gain a bunch of digital value, then.. how? How do you put in an eth contract that the iphone is real, not stolen, not broken? How do you protect against someone mailing you a brick? If the entire transaction cannot be _completely_ described in the contract, there are still third parties and plenty of room for scams. As far as I can tell (and I'm no expert, so I'm writing this mostly to check if my assumptions are wrong - plenty of knowledgable folks in the thread), bitcoin, ethereum et al make this _worse_: Normally if you send me a literal brick in a box, I don't have to file in court, I can just make some pictures and make a claim with the payment processor. Yes, this can be abused, but right now, today, this is more of a help than a hinder: They _DO_ prevent the 'mail a brick in a box' scams relatively well. With ethereum and such, if we code in the contract that the money will be transferred once DHL or UPS or whatnot signs off that the package was signed for, then what the heck do I do if you mail me a brick in a box? The kinds of middlemen (courts, governments, payment processors, transaction broker, etc) that can help me out are precisely the middle men that systems like ethereum are trying to eliminate!

2. That Joe Random knows how to program eth contracts and inherently knows how to ensure that the contract code seems like it has no leaks. Given that teaching someone to program is difficult, that there are many folks who don't seem to have a knack for it, and that there are lots of stories about faulty contracts that resulted in massive financial loss, I don't see how Joe Random gets to do this. Thus, Joe Random will need to rely on trusted parties: A programmer for the contract, or a website that shows standard contracts, or a security consultant that will review the contract code Joe Random wrote to ensure it is sound. If that consultant wants to scam Joe, how does Joe stop this? One could make overtures that eth itself will solve this (by using it to convey that a whole boatload of parties all sign off on 'You can trust Jane Consultant, she knows her stuff', but now you're just encoding a web of trust, which you can do just as well for current systems ('You can trust paypal, they know their stuff and will fairly treat chargebacks and complaints' [1]).

Combine the two and I'm left with the idea that the problem eth tries to solve is real, but that it is just the technical part of a more complicated solution - a solution whose human parts are not obviously solved.

In other words, yeah, eth as a concept seems misguided and mostly useless to me. But I'm sure I'm missing something.

[1] PayPal isn't particularly trusted. But that's just proof of the current system working: It's not hard to figure that out, and to get an in-depth analysis of what paypal will and won't do for you if you get scammed.
To clarify, "has collapsed" or "was collapsed"? I had heard they were planning to actively decommission it out of concerns for safety, and I don't trust that level of nuance from the auto-translate.
Participants don't see the voting results of any statements before they vote, limiting any potential groupthink herding. Also, opinions are presented in different orders for different users, so any impact of them voting differently on the first one they see gets balanced out as the voting grows.

A programming language is a formalism. The definition of computing is a formalism. The relational database is a mathematical formalism of data.

I've begun imagining that for Defense spending, government money that's spent in a State must have come from that State's federal income taxes.

I understand M1 has a special mode that implements the x86 memory model, which aids in Emulation. Apparently qualcom doesn’t have that, so x86 on Arm Windows is slow, being littered with memory barriers.

Couldn’t one just use userthreads in an emulator and ignore all these memory issues? Sure that would mean every emulated process is running on one core, but as long as blocking io is implemented properly, how bad can that be? (It would be like having a single core for the emulated process)
