> There's a discontinuous boundary? That's news to me.

I too find it unlikely that there is such a discontinuity. Quite a large number of physicists (and quantum computing people) seem to speak as if there is one.

> Finally, decoherence has seen plenty of study

I get the impression that decoherence is treated as merely a problem for technicians working on experimental apparatus, or an engineering issue to be dealt with on the road to quantum computation. Are there any results on fundamental limits to the degree of entanglement in a system? We've been trying to get that damn cat into superposition for ~85 years now, with no luck.

>There are scientific models that make predictions and can be judged by the accuracy of those predictions.

That's neither here nor there though.

Those models might be abstract (in the sense that they're not concrete object) but they are still an example of concrete practice of science -- they were thought and formulated into specific words, measurements and papers.

In other words, models come to life by the concrete practice of science by humans (with all its faults). They don't manifest by some abstract science.

>Those models are science separate from how science is practiced as a human social endeavor.

It's the opposite.

Those models were built not "separate from how science is practiced as a human social endeavor" but exactly by people practicing science as a human social endeavor. And they were shaped by exactly the things you say they were not: who built them, what credentials they had, their beliefs and imperfections (e.g. lack of statistics knowledge), etc.

For example, if the scientists (actual persons) creating a model is greedy, they can create a model that advances their financials (rather than science) by optimizing for grants or publicity or "fancy results" or sponsors, against accuracy.

One might still agree, sure, but the model can still be verified independently of those bias and personal faults etc.

But that would be wrong too. Because there's no abstract verification. Verification also happens by actual people, as an actual process, and prone to the same issues: slopiness, greed, shallow peers merely linking to a paper they don't understand well, ideological biases, simply not caring, and so on.

They're not the abstract idea of science.

>If the experts are basing their expertise on models with a good predictive track record

Even that is not some fool-proof criterium.

Because you can always either make the model vague enough or shape, manipulate, skew, explain away the subsequent measurements enough to get a "good predictive track record". It's much easier in science than it is in sports bets where a team either wins or doesn't.

See, the verification of those predictions also happens by humans (with all the above issues).
To quote a violent rioter screaming at the police on January 6th, "We're the business owners of America, and we don't have your back anymore!"

Nothing worse than Janet Yellen getting paid $500k speaker fees to talk to Citadel and a long list of other Wall St companies she will soon be directly regulating at the treasury dept.

She wasn’t getting paid the $7M total because of her deep interesting take on markets. They wanted direct access to the power players and to see how their mind works.

This revolving door with industry and policy makers gets a very uncritical eye by the media (especially compared to other frivolous background details) and obviously by the self morality of the participant speakers themselves.

I personally hope Chandrasekaran gets in trouble for hiding evidence. But nepotism and conflicts of interest seem to be super common in the upper tiers of industry and politics, which Theranos famously surrounded themselves with, right down to their board of directors being politicians and ex generals.

> i don't buy that narrative now.

That narrative was 20 years in the making, at least. My father stopped working in 2002, at 52. He was essentially force retired, as the glass plant he was a technician at moved to India, but he had no retirement planning that accounted for starting retirement at 52. And, for the record, they're okay today, but it was in no small part to my own sacrifice, in my 20s, to help them keep their home and get back on their feet. The fact remains, he was simply unable to find work. And he had a health condition, to make matters worse. His story isn't unique, at least not to the places I am speaking about.

I've heard this "voting against their own interests" rhetoric my entire life. It's misguided. These people have voted their entire lives and where did it get them? Broke and unemployed, forced to scrape by however they could.

Trump won specifically because he was a vote AGAINST the status quo, which had stopped working for these people decades ago... Nothing more, nothing less.

> Have eg Tor exit nodes been held legally responsible for eg copyright infringement? Sounds highly counterintuitive.

In Germany that's the case. Up until four years ago, it was legally impossible to offer free Wi-Fi for restaurants and other venues; and they now have to track at least every legal name of customers that use their Wi-Fi in order to not be held responsible as the Wi-Fi owner.

Technically they would have also to track a photo/ID of each customer if there weren't the GDPR/DSGVO in place that prevents that.

There's also still debate whether or not you have to have passwords in place in order to be not held responsible, which means that customers would have to "register a personal Wi-Fi account" as it's the case with city-provided Wi-Fi access points that are linked to your legal name and address.

That's what the EuGH decided with [1] and [2], the German Bundesgerichtshof before that decided that it's enough to track names only which led to the case being escalated to the European court by Sony Music.

That said I don't hear the best about the company (long working hours, not the highest pay) and have declined a job offer there myself.

To the contrary; this is exactly what you should be doing. Isolated subnet for these untrusted devices. Block by default. (Whitelist only)

I used the word invisible to describe it missing in the ui.
I used the word invincible to describe your lack of “management” (ie; blocking) of the device.

> Like healthcare, affordable housing, decent schools, and jobs that pay a living wage. Nothing crazy. These things were the bedrock of the Sanders campaign, both times.

The hard one is jobs, it seems like acceptance that jobs aren't coming back might be the only solution. The worldwide trend for many decades has been people moving from rural to large urban areas with less and less people involved with primary production. It's really hard to see an end to that trend anytime soon.

I don't know what form that acceptance will take, but I doubt Trump voters will be keen on UBI.

no, he was bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher. you might be thinking of the other cop who died, the one who committed suicide afterwards. but that was probably not a pre-existing condition either. more likely it was PTSD caused by the event. and there certainly haven't been any reports indicating any pre-existing condition for him.

actually, you're probably thinking of the four rioters who died. all of their deaths were linked to pre-existing medical conditions. but you were replying to remarks about the police officer who was bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher. being bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher is not a pre-existing condition.

Went through something similar, and now I’ve been working in a corporate job for almost 3 years. It’s not mutually exclusive, you can have a corporate job and run a gig/startup on the side, it is possible with some tradeoffs. Over time, I actually prefer this approach over going all in at first. It let’s you earn money, gradually build/develop your idea( something I’m doing now). I find I’m also a bit more conscious now of optimizing my time and willing to delegate, pay for stuff to be done.

Regarding interviews, most tech role interviews tend to focus on looking for specialists vs generalists, this has stung me quite a bit. I’d say to favor this in early on when searching, and be very upfront with interviewers in breadth value depth of knowledge

> I don't see how this is any different from Valve "reinventing" SSL by using RSA.

What Valve is doing is layering cryptography to make it possible to do access control more granular than a pure binary. What you are proposing is layering hashing in a way that does not introduce access control.

I hope this is clearer!

> I just don't want my password to be in plain-text. The only thing the server should get is the hash. If you are using RSA on the password, that means your password is going to be in plaintext on their servers eventually.

OK. Now your hashword is on the server. Your hashword now has essentially all the properties of your password that you were trying to get away from in the first place. It is de facto your password now.

Sure, it's a different string now. Your goal is accomplished and the server doesn't have your magic string. Instead it has a different one that's equally magical, equally came from you, and equally security-sensitive.

That's why pass the has was brought to your attention. Network security has been down this road before. We had login systems where the server only ever had a hash, and never the original magical string. They were not safer.

> The original password? Ok go ahead and encrypt it (and also hash it). But only do it once and not every login.

OK. So now we have a new thing that's identical to a password in all of its properties, except that it requires extra work client-side. Again, what have we gained? This is not an idle question, it's the only one that matters.

Valve has an answer, and it's a reasonably compelling one that speaks to real-life use-cases.

> It just seems strange to me that you would have trouble trusting your administrators to accidentally leak logs.

I routinely see developers do things like dump full web request contents into logs without thinking about consequences. With that in mind, I think it's very possible that exactly this kind of scenario could happen. Indeed, I think it a virtual certainty.

The plaintext of passwords being stolen from the memory of servers that handle logins is a comparatively uncommon event, as far as I know.

> What happens if they need to debug or log the app server behind the SSL layer?

A great question! That's critical info. In this scheme, they can. They just cannot access the most sensitive contents, such as passwords. Literally every other part of the request has been decrypted and is available for use.

I hope this has answered your questions.
Considering the countless chips on most standard SoCs this is the correct answer. And presumably what the NSA does when they reroute your Dell or MacBook for an overnight session in a sealed off room at the post office.

Doesn’t even need to be at Amazon’s factory in China of where ever. But that is largely feasible too.

The difficulty is more about data exfiltration. Has to be appended to some real ‘normal’ request the next time a legitimate use of the mic is made, then piggybacks uploads on that connection.

Recording all times when a voice is heard would also massively increase the payload sent to the server. If you were just passively network monitoring it could stick out. Which is not something nation states want.

Forget these smart home mics, if I was a nation state I’d just stick with the mobile phones and laptops every person uses.

People are already paranoid about their Alexas inherently (and far more likely to potentially care to look) making them a poor target for hacking. It’s far more useful to turn the thing they carry around with them 24/7 into an active microphone with GPS, and plenty of more exfiltration possibilities with any mobile and desktop OS network traffic.

If some some search engineer at Google has decided to move Rumble down in the search rankings, then sue away. But what if it's just that Google's algorithm, designed by someone who's never even heard of Rumble, just doesn't like the Rumble site as much as other sites? If that by itself constitutes a violation, it seems impossible to make a non-violating search engine. Like how could you possibly ensure that for every possible search, the "correct" results appear first?

Google does its fair share of shitty things with search and ads, but I'm kind of skeptical that this is one of them.
Can someone fill me in here. I have tried my best to read, and educate myself about these mRNA vaccines. But I have yet to see any conclusive evidence or proof that having the vaccine for COVID-19 prevents you from actually getting COVID-19. And i've seen many people debating this in the comments of other HN threads. It might mean you are asymptomatic, and _less_ likely to spread your symptoms - but it still means you can theoretically harbour the virus and spread it on to others (e.g. through kissing)

So, the question is, given we already have medication which works well as treatment for those with HIV - what exactly will this vaccine do for HIV - if not stop the transmission? My understanding is HIV is primarily spread through sex and sharing of needles. A vaccination program won't stop that.

Thanks in advance. I would love to read more about this.
