Yup, we just ended up building ours from scratch. Glad we did, in retrospect.

Seems like the Russian equivalent of ITAR.
On a side note, I’m starting to suspect that Bitcoin, and Satoshi Nakamoto, is an internal NSA job.

And Satoshi must be the alias name for some cryptography expert, or experts, inside the NSA itself.

Hah, and even if you rearrange the words, its acronym is NSA. Like, Nakamoto SAtoshi.

I just noticed that.

And maybe the architect behind it, used a Japanese origin name, to throw people off their trail. To pin it to some foreign country, instead of the United States government.

After all, who else can keep a big secret like this? And laugh all the way to the bank. While trolling the entire world, at the same time.

Some ideas:

1. The Satoshi Nakamoto guy on the message boards, wrote in perfect colloquial American English. Even his sense of humor was American. His grammar was perfect, and similar to a Millennial/Gen-X aged American. Like, he grew up chatting on AIM and ICQ back in the 90s and 00s. And probably on BBS message boards back in the 80s and 90s.

2. Satoshi mined the originating Bitcoins, and they are incredibly valuable now, and worth around $8.8 billion dollars in mid 2020. Who wouldn’t cash out on it, and realize all the gains, or even some of the gains? How about some super secret organization, that specializes in cryptography. And especially an organization that doesn’t immediately need the money.

3. Bitcoin mining is consuming a ton of electricity. Increasing carbon pollution, and depleting natural resources. There is only one other country that is generating so much electricity, that a large percentage of it, goes straight into Bitcoin mining. You can guess for yourself which country this is.

I don’t think this was intentional, but maybe a side effect is that it will bankrupt other competitor countries that the USA does not like.

4. Maybe another strategic end goal is to trick others to put their money into Bitcoin, and wait until it becomes very very valuable. Like, 100 or 1000 or 1 million times more valuable than it is today, it’s a very long and patient wait, then the US Federal government will pass a law declaring the Bitcoins to be illegal tender. And will then pass another law to forcefully seize all private Bitcoin assets, like the way cops take candy from a baby, with their Civil Asset Forfeiture policy.

Who knows. All this is just fun conjecture. Maybe there really is a Satoshi Nakamoto out there. But, I’d probably believe Santa Claus is real, before I believe that cover story.
Only because we changed the goalposts. My 2007 iPod has more hard drive space than my current phone, but it was slow noisy disk storage.

Meanwhile my phone's storage is basically now just a high speed cache for the internet.

Whether it will go back the other way again in the future, I don't know if anyone can know but tech does tend to be cyclical.
In a democracy, isn’t having an educated citizenry enough of a return? Or at the very least a significant factor?

I’ll also throw in the idea (as an addition not a replacement to what you say) of national service in some form which isn’t military service (lots of ways to help the country beyond the military) and the government funding a university education to some degree in exchange for that.
I agree with you 100%, Regulations are typically never the answer. However sugar is so damn bad for not only the user, but the economy as well, that I'd be willing to limit the impressions sugar gets when every parent brings their kids through a check out.

If you're interested at how bad sugar is all in, check out Robert Lustigs "Hacking of the American Mind" on youtube.
No, you misread, it's 16 cores at 2ghz. It also has 10GbE and many PCIe 3.0 lanes. Are you alright?

Yeah, I got the concept for platform level censorship. If you have adversaries actively trying to shut you down, they can just follow you to the next platform. Government level censorship could still be possible.
A 12 TB HDD requires 10 GB/day for three years to be filled. This is not home market, it's professional market or hoarding (by today's standards).

Objections on the failure rate of HDDs are absolutely valid, but then one should also need to consider the bigger picture (e.g. storage loss), in which case, having a remote copy is also important.
Except for a brief period in nineties, tape never been aimed at consumer storage.

I think the market for tape will always be the same few giant companies for whom it will be priced just a bit less than the next cheapest option.
Comments like that make me sad. They illustrate that phenomenon where zealots often have these curious blind spots in their understanding of the focus of their zeal.

For example, I would personally not consider macros (let alone reader macros or gensym) to be something that a language must have in order to be called a lisp. Such an opinion implies that the first true lisp was not introduced until a 15 years after the first language that called itself lisp, and tacitly casts McCarthy himself as one of those hapless poseurs who tried to pass an unconvincing lisp wannabe as the real deal.

(At least according to the timeline given in Steele and Gabriel's history of lisp. https://dreamsongs.com/Files/HOPL2-Uncut.pdf)

Getting twitchy about the syntax also seems somewhat odd to me, considering that Lisp 1.5 did things like

cons (x (y))
=> (x y)
It makes me hate my partner for all the ways they aren't minimalist. For every article of clothing or trash they hoard so as "not to waste;" for every kitschy trinket pasted on our walls or populating our bookshelf because "aesthetic;" for all the ways they think I am overly needy or consumerist or otherwise non-minimalist. It becomes another reason to hate people you live with for not living like you.

I share your childlike optimism. But another thing (that neither of the sibling comments mention) is write speed. Having a ton of capacity to store massive amounts of data at rest is not the same thing as being able to easily make near-instantaneous (or even slow) copies. Getting all that data on there is going to be a problem, and so it would only be economical for data sources in high demand, not unlike the way that optical media get the pits and lands stamped in at the factory based on an expensive master. "All of YouTube" might be (probably is) in high enough demand, but it would also require cooperation from the gatekeeper of that content, who at this time has adverse incentives because it's making (many times) more money selling ad impressions for basically every view that it's able to. Even aside from that, what other large datasets are in the same demand category such that the work could or would be subsidized in that way?
Agreed on iOS autocomplete. I recently shut it off - unaware i could simply reset it.

I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but the feather on the camel's back was a word I commonly use autocorrecting to 'ducking'. Infuriating.
I remember listing to a podcast with Ken Kocienda - former iOS engineer who wrote the original iPhone keyboard with the dictionary; it was intentional.
Round half up is a reasonable thing to do with many data types, but it's not something that's typically done with time. Any sensible time handling solution will truncate instead of rounding.

Which is not to call apple's timer nonsensical. I agree with the author that it's a nicer experience, but I think it's likely an intentional decision to make the display look better, not a consequence of naive rounding.
As long as there are no rules against a Harley Davidson which can be heard by anyone within a mile radius cruising down the street at 10pm (same goes for loud muscle cars, trucks etc), it seems like we shouldn't go arbitrarily restricting drone noise.

With regards to cameras in public places, I'd be far more worried about somebody hiding in the bushes quietly with a DSLR that nobody knows about. At least with a drone you're very aware that it's there. If you want to change the laws about taking pictures in public places - fine (and good luck!) but again, singling out drones doesn't make much sense here.
Well, at least we can be certain that there hasn't been any contact made before that's been kept secret for decades.

I think the biggest problem is nitrous oxide accumulation in the atmosphere (it comes from denitrifying bacteria acting on nitrogen fertilizers). But there may be ways to address that directly.
That $300 drive is an LTO-2 drive. It's so old that it's parallel SCSI.

I'd be surprised if you could even get tapes for it that aren't sketch grey market stuff that you wouldn't want to use for backups anyway.
More funding can mean more people working in the field with the same amount spent on everyone rather than more money spent on the same number of people.
I don't think it's costly. HikVision is one town away in Dongguan, and their foreign market just evaporated due to US sanctions. Cameras here are dirt cheap and many of them come paired with ICs that provide 'AI' as standard now. The only thing different in this case is overall resolution to cover an entire intersection (probably done with multiple cameras) and the face feature extraction code. Example Huawei product https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=id=618652543962 1080p SD card logging and 'AI' (probably event detection/trigger zones) USD$25 ordered at a volume of one.
Sounds like a different take on David Brain’s Uplift series.

Actually nearly every enterprise backup system my company has deployed in the last 5 years is tapeless. Most systems involve snapshot backup management that are replicated across multiple disc/SSD systems. (I'm the network guy, so not my focus area)
The first tape drive is a 200GB (native / uncompessed) internal SCSI drive. Not so easy for a consumer with a laptop to use.

The tapes are pretty cheap at $8 on Amazon if you buy 20.
Wondering the same thing.

I learned about DeFi recently and am now curious to learn more about smart contracts, the underlying code and everything surrounding it.
People act differently when they pay for a service rather than get it for free.
In rightsholderworld, the application is a mere irritation that must be paid for in order to retain absolute control over distribution for as long as possible. They probably don't want to pay for it -- why can't the customer just be happy with whatever we were already giving them! -- but they want to cede control to a third party platform even less.
I bet that's to make it harder to track domestic surveillance planes more than anything to do with wealthy privacy concerns.

If you bring any group of people and show them a variation of dogs and ask which ones are "pit bull", 95%+ of them will agree on the same dogs. Just because its multiple breeds doesn't make it an "incoherent concept".

DNA tests exist for dogs now, same like humans, and can unambiguously find if a dog is a pitbull mix.
The ceiling method matches with the expectation of how much time is left when the major digit changes, which is the same as how we do countdowns verbally in English.

We say, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0", not "4, 3, 2, 1, 0, done".

I would be super strange and non-intuitive for AWS to impose something like this, they have nothing to gain and a lot to lose (actual customers, image, as people will make fun of them for this silly limitation).

The keyword being had, but Apple has always been on the more closed side --- Inside Macintosh was far more pretty but overall less informative than the corresponding IBM PC Technical Reference books.
In-person social organizations.

Social isolation is probably the biggest cause of unhappiness in advanced countries. Having a strong social network has lots of advantages including providing better romantic and career opportunities, as well as improving physical and psychological health.

Humans have a long history of dishing out lots of money to be parts of strong communities too--country clubs and fraternities have high fees. Church goers regularly give up 10% of their (gross) income to be part of that group. Cult members might even hand over ALL of their possessions to join.

The camaraderie and experiences that go along with being part of a strong, long lived community tends to be the thing people value most in life. Yet finding those communities has become increasingly difficult in the modern era. People move away to different cities, or just don't run into the same set of people everyday. With the rise of remote work, social disconnection is only going to rise. I think there's a lot of room to create new social organizations with pretty minimal technology, and make a pretty profit from doing so. Humans are still human--they want those connections--they mostly just need an introduction.

The game sold about 5 million units in the first week. IIRC the game's budget was about 130 million, so yeah, there are lots of profits, with more to come next year when the next gen versions are released. And there will be single-player expansions and a multiplayer mode. Profits indeed.

Almost all state and local drone laws are invalid in the United States. Congress has provided the FAA with exclusive authority to regulate aviation and there is specific preemption in the federal code. The FAA's stance is that voyeurism is a crime, and the use of a drone is irrelevant.
I'd say most consumer software falls in the third category, including yours.

"Fast enough for the users" is apparently, in your case, "fast enough to give you competitive edge."

Your wonky polygon was apparently a bug with sufficient impact to not make the program act in the way the users expected it to. Aesthetics and UI is really important to a lot of users.
The original Doom is super interesting in the design. You can't aim up or down because there is no up or down. You shoot at a guy at the top of a stair case and it will hit, because it's actually the same level. There's only one level. All the up/down perspectives are faked. In the original doom, you could never have a room above another room.
I grew up in southeastern CT and visit there occasionally. It's hard to describe how dead it is for commercial software development, even compared to Boston.

Even if one was inclined to open a good software shop in CT, you'd have neither low property prices nor an existing pool of highly skilled labor.
The first several links all say they make a big difference. Face masks are already known to stop the spread of coronavirus. Apparently, they can also make it much harder for facial-recognition software to identify you, too. (cnn)

It’s true accurate identification in ideal conditions is still possible, but catching random jaywalkers is hardly ideal conditions.
So what if instead of being on a hill, we accelerate the drones on launch straight up? Make them bullet-shaped so they don't lose too much momentum. If we lose the requirement of them returning on their own we could also simplify the shell quite a bit. Small wings, guidance electronics and a parachute. Then do curbside collection of the shells once a week.

In summary: Rain the deliveries onto the neighborhood with a railgun.
The Apple II was useless on arrival unless you could program it yourself. The iPhone is useful for 99% of customers while providing no on-device programming. Weird analogy.
Our lawyers didn't think that sufficient to cover ourselves. Upon finding out it wasn't going to cost many millions to simply scrub the actual data rather than the keys, they came back that it was money well spent to delete the actual data.

It was mostly because a user might share data with another user, for example two users at the same postal address. Our fraud team needs to be able to look stuff like that up, so there need to be database keys on stuff like that, both in the backups and in production. If one of the users with a specific address has a GDPR deletion, we need to delete that users data, but if another user has the same address, we still need to keep the address itself. Yet if both users have a GDPR deletion apply to them, as well as deleting the address, we need to delete the fact both deleted users had the same address (even if we don't know the address, because the pattern of which deleted users shared info with other deleted users could identify them)

See... it's complex! Simplest solution properly delete the data and rewrite the backups!
It hasn't officially been formulated this way, but whatever owns a value will have the power to decide if its destructor should run or not.

nVidia is notoriously closed, a better example would be AMD/ATI --- which do have a lot of docs on their GPUs:

In terms of security, the answer is a clear yes. Xen is kernel of 100+kSLOC of unverified code, while seL4 is verified. On top of that, Xen has Dom0 and thus a complete Linux system in its TCB.
What Xen has over seL4 is the management/admin framework.
But there is a project to port Qubes to seL4, waiting for the funding to be cleared.

I liked the ending, but just a second... did the main character actually say "in 1990, we're gonna be 21 years old" in 1978? That would make him 9, and he was dreaming about driving around visiting never-ending orgies in future pleasure domes?

Well, I guess some kids grow up earlier than others ...
If you really want to spy on somebody, you don’t use a noisy buzzing drone right outside a window, or hovering in an otherwise empty sky. Even something as crude as a smartphone on a stick could be more covert.

Surprised that even tech enthusiasts are often so fearful of drones while not worried about the hundreds of cameras already filming their activities in most public places.
Some fear, but also jealously. My mom gave me some old pics last year, and there are maybe 20-30 of me being a kid with my friends. I would love to have more, but they were lost to time. Of course, to your point, the pics that should have never been taken have also been lost...
My suspicion has always been that people would probably rarely chew gum from single small packets if it wasn't there where you line up for checkout. Instead, they'd buy the same-size packets that come in bunches of 5 or whatever, and usually cheaper per pack anyway.

You often see batteries there along with them with the gum and chips/crisps. At least batteries practical sense - the last moment things people tend to forget, but actually do need or want.
I second that :-)
Agree. Roofing is a more dangerous occupation. Cops are cry babies and overpaid high school bullies. We should require a college degree and more professional training. American cops are worse at their job than cops in almost any EU country.

... and in the CUPS case I could see it more of a situation where they wanted good printing support, saw that unix printing was a horrible mess, but that CUPS had promise, decided to bring it in-house in order to make it work well on macOS, and then after that was done, stopped really caring about it all that much.

Because printing is just so unsexy in general, and tends to get neglected everywhere.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra - I think I was finally ready to read it, and what a delight it was! I only wish I didn't have to rely on the translation. Looks like I will finally be able to delve into all the works I futilely attempted in my early 20s. I will try Walden next.

Maybe the author should look up different modes of rounding. Round-to-nearest is what's the "intuitive" choice Apple made here. It's not "fake time". Srsly..

Besides, instead of truncating, it would even be sensible to do a round-up here, so that you get "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, done!" Non-mathematicians and non-programmers don't want to stare at 0 for a seconds. They likely don't want to stare at a 0 at all. That wouldn't "fake time" either.

It really gets to me that he writes such an article and his self-description is "I'm a Maker and Full Stack Developer who loves working with the Frontend, Vue.js and User Interface Design." Not a great ad for yourself..
In C++20, e.g. std::vector is constexpr, so this keyword may be similar to your hypothetical "pure" soon.
STOW is great, it is simple and works well especially combined with git. That's what I do [0], and recently combined it with org-mode for literate programming, so each program has just a README.org that then generates all the files via org tangle [1] [2]. For example, here is my file that generates my Xorg configuration [3] over several files, nicely readable on GitHub, in Emacs, or just as plain text.
