haven't followed matrix implementation for a while. Last time I checked their e2ee was still not quite ready to deserve that name[1]. is it a solved problem now and is crypto used in matrix now truly e2ee so that it can be comparaed to Signal. Maybe I've missed the research papers suggesting otherwise but it seems comparing Signal w. Matrix is apples and oranges (even when just talking about e2ee and ignoring the centralized/federated aspects of the 2 technologies)

what is the actual state of matrix e2ee today? (or is that question silly because it depends what the individual matrix clients chooses to implement).

I'm extremely excited about having a federated e2ee messenger, however as a "Lawful-Intercept" realist, I don't have a lot of hope that it will not get forced to comply with current EU regulation proposals, that prevents Matrix from fulfilling its promise as fully e2ee. (e.g. the future that we're heading to in the EU is the same as 5/9-eye countries: there will be a "legal" way of encryption and another one that is illegal, all depending if access can be given to 3rd parties / LE...)

They want to sack the math department to create a machine learning department. But they still need people to teach the math classes for machine learning etc, and without the math professors they'd need machine learning professors or so who aren't as good at maths.

> So is this real? It's somewhere in between real and fake. Anyone can craft something out of plaster. Anyone can apply to be verified. Anyone can make a landing page. Is there an entity involved and is this being rolled out across Bay Area neighborhoods? No.

Everything and everyone gets slapped with the term 'tech'. Airbnb is considered a tech company, Casper the mattress company is considered a tech company or at least they act like tech companies. But listings and mattresses have been around for years it's just now 'tech' adds more VC funding.

The running joke is that AI actually stands for Anonymous Indian's rather than the tech we wish it to be.

It's PR and investors jumping on the word 'tech'. This is the best example of non-tech getting tech love - https://www.wired.com/story/how-the-trendiest-grilled-cheese... (grilled cheese food truck btw)

Hm, I might be biased from researching the topic, but when I read "busts myths", I was expecting the myths to be busted to be exactly what his answers in this interview are.

It's like if an article was about busting project management myths, and the myths were "you can do all requirements engineering up front". We've moved on a lot since then.
The maginot line worked rather well, at the end the fortresses were surrounded, and yet most them surrendered after the armistice and were not conquered.

I seems a little bit like a combination of surperiour command and control and luck on the German side, and bad luck combined with bad and lacking C&C on the allies side. I always wondered how thins would have played out, if the western allies would have invaded the western part of Germany when the Wehrmacht was still busy in Poland. Same way I wonder how the Pacific war would have developed had the Japanese destroyed the oil depots in Pearl Harbour or even launched an invasion. I guess it would just have prolonged the war and killed even more people, in case of Pearl Harbour.
Can't you just use a web app or any other matrix client if this happens?

If Google were to "ban" slack from their store, their browsers, etc. then you would be quite in trouble.

But with matrix, just pick a different client and move on.
One of the craziest things is that we still fund EU students 100% as long as they go home after graduation. I actually considered doing the same but I was to wedded to my UK friends and family.

We used https://coffeescript.org/#literate for some products at https://forestpin.com and it was so much easier to maintain.

One of the problems with notebooks for literate programming is that it kind of breaks down when you define a class or a long function. The entire code has to be within a single block.

5%-10% is typical performance for a pure interpreter; a good JIT can hit 30%-50%. After that the main issue is going to be the MMU that I mentioned, and having hardware support there gets you to nearly native.

Exactly, this is the point that I am trying to figure out. Moderators control the conversation and that's it. So what is the difference between CNBC talking heads pumping up a stock VS subredditors who are, as you might imagine, everyday people just having some financial fun and sharing ideas. One can get paid off whilst the other cannot I imagine is the difference.

I think the way to go is a mix of the two. It is covenient for companies to get guaranteed money in advance. As for customer it's way cheaper to start with usage based model. This is because a lot of users are underusing their services.

This at least is the case in hosting industry where overscheduling is a big thing.

So best scenario for customer would be a pay per usage for low usage and subscription for moderate to high usage. At least this is what AWS is doing and I believe this is fair for both bussiness and customer
CGI isn't quite as efficient as PHP with, say, FastCGI. PHP has inherited a CGI-like model but improved it.
Proof, please. The US started Lend&Lease in, what, 1940? That was geared exclusivley against Germany. And all US actions were geared against Germany as well, the war against Japan being, strategically, a second priority. As agreed upon between Roosevelt and Churchill.
Where do you get the certificate from? If you get the APK and certificate from the same source, there's no security benefit of verifying the certificate on top of having a proper TLS connection.

The EU has been slow to order doses from viable partners and always seems to be the last to approve new vaccines. Some EU countries are only now giving their first vaccines.

What shady tactics did other countries use? To be fair it’s not reasonable to demand someone show data and then allude to “shady tactics” without providing evidence, though I don’t doubt that shady tactics were probably used all around.

Yes, it is possible. If this lockdown is going on for much longer (here in CZ it probably will), I might take up the practice out of boredom.
>It just means that if there were, say 100 shares of a company, and 120 shares sold short, it would be "120%" short. But all this means is that there are 220 shares "owned" by others. And thus, to cover, the "shorts" need only buy back 120 of those 220 shares

Can someone please explain how the original 100 shares turned into 220? Does this mean that after borrowing a share and shorting it, the original owner and the one who shorted can both sell it?
These tech monopolies were built on adversarial interoperability!
IBM made their "PC", but a lot of Silicon Valley's growth in the 80s
and 90s happened because businesses had the freedom to innovate
adversarially, creating the IBM PC clone.

As Cory Doctorow recently explained[1]:

>> It's how we got Gateway, Dell, Compaq and all of the other PC
vendors that might have sold you that IBM PC clone in 1984 running an
operating system that IBM hadn't made, on phone lines that had been
broken up from AT&T.

>> And so it felt in those days like maybe we'd found some kind of
perfect market, a market where you could make your products with low
capital, just with the sweat of your own mind, by writing code. That
you could access the global audience of everyone who might want to run
that code over a low cost universal network. And that that audience
could switch to your product at a very low cost, because you could
always write the code that it would take to to port the old data
formats and to connect the old services to your new product. It was a
market where the best ideas would turn into companies that would find
customers and change the world.

>> as these companies acquired new monopolies, they diverted their monopoly
rents to foreclosing on competitive compatibility.

When talking about monopoly, people tend to focus on price, but modern
tech monopolies don't need to use traditional form of rent
seeking. Exploitative prices don't make sense when the monopolist
undermines the entire market with "free services". Instead, tech monopolies are
about control of what is allowed to participate in the market.

You are both right. After Germany declared war on the US, the US full transformed into a war economy. Something they wouldn't have done without that declaration. And Germany never switched to a full war economy, not that it would have changed a lot, so, if they did.

Somehow my brain works the exact opposite if I already know how to do something without googling it then it's not interesting anymore and I move on to the next thing outside of my comfort zone.
I mean, yes, it was part of Chesterton's defence of Catholicism,; more specifically it was the opening to his defence of the traditional nuclear family.

The two different vaccines the UK has administered had different contractual and manufacturing arrangements - the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine has separate manufacturing facilities for the UK and the EU, with each being contractually tied to the supply of vaccines for that area, whereas the Pfizer/BioNTech one both contracted for supply for the same manufacturing facility. As I understand it, the UK wanted at least one locally manufactured vaccine as a precaution in case Trump went and banned exports (and I suspect the EU also wanted theirs manufactured locally for the usual reasons).
Every Single Day I am leaning more towards non-App Store distribution model.
Agree. And it is important to note, that Russia did no recieve a lot of lend-lease stuff at that point in time. After that, sure they did get a lot.
Given the huge wealth gains the top .1% has gained during the last year should this be a global standard?

Most "professors" (or maybe TA/Instructor is the better definition) are temporary positions paying a bit more than your retail position.
It's almost as if a capitalist system rewards people who seek dollar signs instead of real progress, and is antithetical to what is genuine and good. Progress is merely a side-effect of capitalism. If people can gain capital without it, they will.

Re outages, it is not about the blockchain itself necessarily, but all the services and systems that interface with it.

Errors occur because humans are humans and fat finger trade details.

That aside, as I mentioned in original comment, instantaneous settlement has other problems, e.g netting is important in managing liquidity.

And to your point about crypto managing billions of dollars of tokens - it's an absolutely trivial amount compared to what's moved in the markets every day. Blockchains are incredibly inefficient and transaction rates orders of magnitude lower than what'd be needed.

I can imagine a future in which Universities just pay someone to create online courses which they can reuse over the years and then just keep the teachers for courses which have a practical side (e.g. Robotics, biology/physics/chemistry experiments).

I was just asking for an example. Sweden is one. Now I know.
That’s not really true as long as you keep pushing yourself and aren’t aiming for extreme performance. Wind sprints for example are still useful if you want to compete a marathon in say 6-8 hours.

As to pushups and pulling things, back strength from supporting your body weight on your shoulders would help you pull things. Clearly practicing the motion you want to improve is optimal, but controlled motion generally involves a lot more skeletal muscles than just what’s being targeted.

While technically you can do anything, there's no community discovery of CI scripts like with GitHub.

Afaik there isn't a Checks API equivalent, or it's not uses by the limited range of built-in CI functions.

And finally, the caching is terribly slow. It's faster to reinstall packages than to cache them, meaning you can't run a build in less than 3/4 minutes.

I agree with you analysis, but is this necessarily bad (or rather, is all of this bad)?

As a young researcher, my peers and I already noticed the "customer-ification" of academia. Taxpayers are investigating in academia, either via tuition fees or research grants, and expect to see returns: Either more jobs, more competitive national economy or a better life.

So far so good. Unfortunately, too much "customer-ification" leads to job insecurity for more junior academic members and kills "moonshots". However, without "customer-ification" the system ends up with dinasors that do research "for fun" on taxpayer's money, with no real return.

Now, I'm unsure how much "customer-ification" is healthy. I would argue that both too little and too much hurt. I was fortunate enough to see some of my more junior peers striving with "just the right" amount: They managed to get themselves on R&D boards of companies, yet do research on fundamental theories. Think "to truly make airbags reliable, we need a theory on controlling non-linear systems of type X".

I'm not sure what happened in the case debated here, but I genuinely hope that the departments that are under thread have some evidence for their usefulness (e.g. public outreach for medieval literature, joint-articles for pure math).
I feel like the "App Stores" are kinna on war with the minority recently
Well, if technological advances is the only thing you care for, sure, then go ahead and get rid of stuff like pure maths.

However, are you sure that these advances would not have been made if the US had a different system? Like I argued before, Europe has pretty much copied the system by now but I don't see much in terms of catching up. Take A.I., for instance: completely dominated by the U.S. and China. Europe?

Like in many things in life, copying someone else's successful model is by no means a guarantee that you're going to be successful too. Why? Because your circumstances are usually completely different from whatever you're copying.
That's a very hand-wavy answer, no?

"The market price of the integral reward"? What is that supposed to mean? Filecoin is just a medium of exchange for people buying and selling storage services. Filecoin does not offer anything specific and its platform has to compete with plenty of mature, efficient alternatives.

> the value of the coin is driven by the interest in the tech it provides.

What "tech" does it provide? Not IPFS, for sure, that already was under development and could have come to fruition as a regular open source project. A decentralized market for storage, "proof-of-spacetime"? These might be interesting. But again, if we want to fund these things there are surely better/cheaper ways to do it. $250 million is a lot of money for the tech that was developed so far.

More importantly: there is nothing about the "tech" that requires $FIL to make it work. The market dynamics will be the same whether they used FIL, DAI, ETH, wrapped BTC or even a dollar-pegged token they decided to issue. People are not going to pay more or less for their storage because the price of the token went up or down.

> Currently at $22, not bad for a random coin.

These are the kind of statements that almost make me side with the buttcoiners. At this point, with all the speculation, market manipulation and naive FOMO "investing", there is no useful information to be had from the price of the token.
Which allies are you referring to? those that made up the dominion of the empire such as Canada and Australia? then yes. But they can only really supply some troops and resources.

The UK needed France and they were not nearly as cooperative with each other as you might think, and France had little to no interest in an offensive war.
I don’t see how that term is applicable to a grassroots phenomenon when it purports to describe an explicit corporate strategy.
Maybe, but something is constantly changing in the worrying direction. Humans are becoming slaves of the tools they build, not vice versa. Our biological abilities fade away in the presence of technological progress. People may fantasy about some cyberpank future, but I have doubts about it. Simpler organisms can't control what is superior to them. And I'm pretty sure general AI is a real thing, at least in the future. So, the confrontation between humans as biological species and tech progress is quite justifiable.
Doesn't this all break down once you use eggs? Absolute weights don't help much if you have to add one egg yolk since they don't have a fixed weight.

For cakes, all other ingredients should be measured in multiples of the used egg parts.

I'm trying to work out a set of fundamental principals are would distinguish good discrimination from bad. I often see people, such as yourself, adamantly insisting that some kinds are good or some are bad but the distinction seems arbitrary.
The Principal leaves money on the table if they only do academics. You get paid based on the budget of the organisation you run, and just doing academics for 1000 students obviously needs a smaller budget than doing academics, sports, entertainment, lodging etc for 1000 students.
