"It's unfortunate that big tech decided to make this place their home"

Big Tech was established when much of that area was literally little bits separated by fields and farmland.

I think our living spaces are more important than industry, if we need more housing for Googlers etc. well, there's tons of room in Cali. There are even many areas amenable to more density, it's just not SF or Palo Alto.

I'll bet that in Oakland it's much more possible to build semi-high buildings and fairly dense, modern 4 story buildings for the middle class, it's just that fewer people want to live there.

I wonder if Apple and Google get together and bought a large plot of land south of Morgan Hill, they could build a mini city to house 500K people and frankly run the gauntlet of whatever they wanted in terms of setting the rules, and there are at least 500K migrants who'd be happy to live there.

Imagine 'Facebook Campus' but now, your home as well. What's Orwellian to you and I would probably be fine for others. And of course, less cynically, it wouldn't need to be like that either.

WinRAR still has a very useful feature/option that 7zip I don’t believe has. It has an auto-delete the archive after extraction option, which is great if you are bulk extracting a huge number of archives but are low on disk space.
It’s not just a California issue. Pretty much all of post-war (World War II) American development is functionally insolvent. Actually, not having enough residents per square mile is a leading driver of the need for more tax $.

do you need any external resources to go through this book?
I am surprised that they don't do just that.

But, they do something similar - they open offices in other cities until the cost of living rises to match San Francisco (see Portland and Seattle). It's just not in California.

Larger political entities can consider more than the narrow, selfish interests of a few "I've got mine" NIMBYs, such as future residents, the racist history of zoning, and the impact on the environment of forcing people to commute a long ways.

Local control in places like Palo Alto is two wolves and a sheep voting for what to have for dinner.

I used to be big on OSS and free for all (maybe because I'm an incredible cheapskate) but I changed my mind.
Every service provided for free is maintained by someone working for free.

After being on the maintainer side, working my ** off and not getting anything but more work without recognition or even a "thank you", I can't say I'm happy or positive towards OSS or services that can't sustain themselves.
The human cost can't be ignored.

At the same time, working for free is rarely conducive of high quality, even when good engineers are behind it.
Even when the quality is good, you can't expect maintenance.

Most of the OSS I use is either unmaintaned, of questionable quality or fake OSS maintained by business to attract/retain developers.
There are famous exceptions in OSS (eg. Linux) driven by a few exceptional (and well off) individuals, but that's not the majority of the community.
Students doing CV building are another segment of people doing OSS and hoping to get paid in recognition.

If it wasn't for the low level OSS got us used to, it would be easier to have a market of small independent developers selling software and maintaining it.

The same goes for wiki.

Couple of other ones:

- If you're going to do chemo and nobody recommends a port, ask about them...particularly if you are a tough stick. What used to be 5-15 minutes of agony and stress that would regularly involve bringing in the good hands team with the ultrasound kit turned into basically nothing. Ports can be used for labs as well fwiw.

- If you are a tough stick and don't get a port, don't be afraid to ask for the ultrasound.

- If you're inpatient for some reason and your chemo appointment is getting close, begin asking your doc and the attending about it ahead of time. Some hospitals will do an infusion in your room, some won't...and in those cases you might just miss a dose.

- If you regularly need saline to keep up hydration there are in-home nursing facilities that can do this rather than having to go to the hospital every time. They can teach you to 'de-access' the port as well, so that they don't have to hang around for the hour to get through the bag.

- Emesis bags are available on Amazon by the case.

- If margins are starting to thin, make sure that there is regular bloodwork being done that covers iron, liver function and other diagnostics that are relevant to your situation. Some of these things are slow-movers and can interfere with your treatment plan when they get out of whack. Most of these are available without a referral/prescription from a local hospital or lab.

- If you end up with a hysterectomy or because of your treatment have hot/cold issues in bed, the BedJet is absolutely amazing. https://bedjet.com/
> That's medieval and doesn't belong in modern civilization.

The concept of retribution as justice goes far back beyond medieval, to at least the Bronze Age (see Hammurabi).

In addition, it seems a common component across cultures. The utilitarian view is by no means nearly as universal.

Here is a modern example: every few years you hear about some former Nazi Concentration Camp guard that was arrested. From a utilitarian point of view it is completely useless. The old guard is never ever going to take part in anything like that again. However, from a justice as retribution for misdeeds, it make perfect sense.
Ex-Mod that tried to monetize. Further, a bunch of the recent mods started doing the same exact thing, though I think they sorted it out as well.

The fact that this guy is on the news let alone has a story is ridiculous. That or the people that offered him money for the story, didn't do their due diligence.

What if we used the 1Gbps lines we have to our houses to sync data to a neighborhood level tape back system. We could just swing by the minimart and pickup some beer and our weekly backup on a datacart.
This article starts off with an ambiguous premise. The SEC Enforcement Division asking about Mt Gox in early 2013 has nothing to do with Mt Gox being in securities trouble. It more likely means the SEC was following funds in a bitcoin transaction that were deposited or transferred to that exchange. Or fiat transferred by an investor following a securities promoter’s instruction on how to invest via bitcoin.

The article then switches to other issues about Mt Gox that also never involve the SEC or securities issues again.

There is a pervasive meme amongst cryptocurrency enthusiasts of the SEC being an all encompassing police. It is weird and counterproductive.

Yep, I changed my view on electronic voting for this reason.

Even if we create a perfect, provable, electronic voting system, a very small percentage of the public is going to be able to understand the proof and even fewer will be able to verify for themselves. Most people will have to rely on experts to tell them if it is secure or not.

For voting, we need most people to be able to both understand why it is secure and be able to verify for themselves that it is. Paper ballots provide that, electronic voting doesn’t.

>>“It could’ve been a trillion-dollar company,” Vessenes said. “It’s so sad.” The current $16 billion CoinLab claim against Mt. Gox is based on what the company thinks their portion of Mt. Gox would be worth if it had been managed well, he said.

Quoting this part of the article to emphasize the absurdity of CoinLab's assertion.

>>Peter Vessenes has spent years trying to recoup lost coins

This article byline is strange because the CoinLab claim is entirely for cash/fiat damages, and not for the remaining cryptocurrency that the estate holds. Creditors know this because CoinLab's claim is evidently still incurring delay and interest, which the Tokyo District Court only affords to monetary Mt. Gox claims.
Not quite so simple.

It's not like mega-ice cream companies like Breyers don't already have an army of chemists, food scientists and mechanical engineers on staff to solve these problems - and yet they still have a tough time producing real ice cream at everyday prices.

From this thread, it seems like the society itself has voted to allow crime.

So, let me get this straight and state curtly - A city allows crime, then complains about rising crime!?

May be people of this city should question their understanding of how to run a good society.
The problem with trying to suggest that Bitcoin is a fundamentally flawed idea is that you will be down voted to oblivion.

As a computer science concept it's rather mundane. We know what merkle trees are.

It's an extremely wasteful form of computing. Mining is an exercise in wastefulness. Proof-of-work is one of the worst concepts I've ever seen.

Ah, Tether.
I worked at Blizzard and there was a joke that we didn’t have drug testing because we would lose the design team and half the QA testers. In gaming QA getting high is kind of a prerequisite.
While I think most people should probably leave a toxic environment, it fixes nothing. If boss is bad, it's the best advice though! You must give energy to what works for you, then shelter is possible in any environment.
Yes, I'm sure, it exactly like that on this very machine where I type this comment. However, the Apple Silicon version installed into /opt/homebrew creates the repo directly in its prefix, just like yours installed into ~/brew. Here the content of Homebrew dir is mixed with Cellar, Frameworks and Caskroom, which are normally one directory up. So it looks like it behaves differently when the prefix is /usr/local.
>I call bullshit on this email being sent by the firm until I see it

The firm didn't deny it. It issued retraction. So, it is genuine. And the firm wants the Russian regime to know that it is genuine. All that absolutely not surprising given the Russian environment.

>- it goes directly against several key employees rights policies which we are reminded of by the firm itself several times a year

nor policy nor "employees rights" (who is going to enforce them? Russian gov-t?) are worth losing GazProm and Norilsknickel as clients and becoming political enemy of Putin. People in Russia are arrested today for just retweet of a thread mentioning the date of protests (like that RBC editor).

Some of us would like our children to be able to live in the place they are growing up. And we value what newcomers and immigrants bring to the table in terms of hard work, new ideas, energy, and so on.

Also, one of the easiest ways to make people better off is to let them move to where the jobs are. That used to be very common in the United States. That has been stunted in some part by rigid land use laws that pull up the ladder behind the people who got in while the getting was good.

There is a lot of work in economics showing the benefits of clustering, rather than having a talented up and coming person move to, say, Cyanide Springs Oklahoma because it's cheap.

https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/australia
it seems a fight broke out over whether the person should have been outed, with critics calling it defamation. This feels not right. There has always been a deep distrust between those of us working in the industry wanting to innovate and create more secure products, and those who get incentivized to subvert and break this work. I'm not judging them since they're also just doing "their job".

Only difference is, they have erected the biggest surveillance state that every despote around the globe is now in a rush to emulate (or has already done so - a lot of this here is already past tense). An agency that isn't accountable to anyone within the US and even less to those outside and which gets away with breaking international laws. (because why would you follow norms if you can create your own?)

Obviously such people would be viewed as a threat. They say once burned twice shy. Only in this case the industry and the public got burned hundreds off times. When people raise concerns or hold back excitement that this person now has one of the most powerful jobs in Crypto they shouldn't be reprimanded - especially by people from the industry who should frankly know better. (or maybe the real problem is these "thought leaders" are eyeing a future for themselves where they parachute from the industry into a cushy government job or perhaps consulting position.

But this isn't about calling out this one person and have them barred from entering the industry after a stint in "public service" (even if that included illegal wiretaps and dragnet surveillance), it's about the principle that anyone from these agencies receives a welcome by the industry in the first place, and _NOT_ about an individual. It's even more sinister that people defend this move by personalizing it as if a mob were chasing a poor worker who was just trying to make a living and pay their bills like the rest of us. This isn't about culture, career, gender, "wokeness" and least of all about making "infosec more inclusive", or any other garbage people might come up with to place themselves into the conversation.
I think it would be helpful here to describe how very sick people looking for a fecal transplant usually are. And also how - even though it's only been clinically approved for Clostridium difficile infections - there are also controlled data that indicate it's effective for other intestinal illnesses.

Not the case for sci-hub
The first half of the book is about digital design, which is part of electrical engineering. They call it "Hardware Land" in the book.

From page 6 (1st ed.): Of course the layers of abstraction don't stop here. Elementary logic gates are built from transistors, using technologies based on solid-state physics and ultimately quantum mechanics. Indeed, this is where the abstractions of the natural world,as studied and formulated by physicists, become the building blocks of the abstractions of the synthetic worlds built and studied by computer scientists.

Yeah, Vessenes is so far inside that he has a massive conflict of interest in this case. He's also acted in pretty bad faith. Here's the story from a knowledgeable outsider: https://blog.wizsec.jp/2019/04/coinlab-v-mtgox-imaginarium-o...

Even putting aside the Mt. Gox bankruptcy, the original contract with CoinLab looks pretty bad: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.192566... They agreed on damages of $50M if either side breached the contract but neither party ever had nearly that much money and the deal was only worth less than $1M per year. IANAL but this seems like a dumb suicide pact.

I feel like we need to find peaceful ways to resolve our severe differences with China. Either that or stop depending on China's neighbors for critical technology.

I just hope that there can be some kind of progress with the new administration in Washington.
The HK protests were well covered in mainstream Chinese news. Was this tour from a part of China without TVs?

There was wide National Support for the crackdown on HK protests, it wasn't controversial at all. The government didn't need to censor any of the media.

> I portray all major Chinese corps as the worst possible alternative in most cases because they are backed by a government with modern day concentration camps

So half of Europe and South America have modern day concentration camps, they just call them "Refugee Camps". In other Asia Pacific Countries (including Australia) they have "Immigration Detention Centres" (prisons for the persecuted). In the US they have Gitmo AND immigration detention.

In China they have Work Camps and Re-eduction camps.

I fail to see the moral high ground. Are you from a part of the world I missed?
GPU improvement rate does not look to be stalling. Nvidia is still introducing impressive new features (support for HW accelerated ray-tracing, NN acceleration for stuff like DLSS, etc.) while steadily improving performance. It's just getting harder to make games look nicer, because they already look really nice. Artists/Graphics devs have learned to do really impressive things using just rasterization. As someone who is interested in GPU programming, ML and rendering, I personally find it really impressive what Nvidia has been doing over the last couple of years.

Though I have to say, for all its faults, CP2077 really blew me away graphically (using the RTX support) like no other game did so far. Also, VR would also really benefit from better GPUs. And 4K gaming is also not quite there yet. So actually, I maybe wouldn't even say that. Performance improvements are still welcome.

The problem is more that there is an unprecedented demand for compute. ML, Crypto mining, Gaming being more popular than ever with Corona, etc. just means that demand is higher than ever. Combine that with the new console launch and exhausted semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and you can easily see why customers are biting the bullet and going for less pricy, older cards.

It's just my personal interest. I could potentially put my own research up somewhere, but it would be something fairly casual at this point. I just don't see it discussed very much, despite the ramifications for long term preservation of cultural art. There is so much music that simply doesn't exist in any library in the world. Yet it was on what.cd. How does society determine fair use? It seems to me like a clear cut case of it for archival purposes. I wonder if what.cd maintainers would have had any real legal basis as a archiver if they had gone to court.

Also, libraries are poorly resourced, and if they are the only exception allowed for archiving, how do you scale archival? It seems like if we as a society don't do something about it, then so much will be lost. It seems like the what.cd model actually worked, and I wonder if it could be replicated for other types of media in a legal sense. Like non-profit crowdsourced archival websites, something akin to Wikipedia but for digital media.
Funnily enough the Ahamdis don't consider normal Muslims to be Muslims too!

Statements of Mirza Basheer-ud-Din, Ghulam Ahmad’s son and successor, including what he wrote in his book Ayena-e-Sadaaqat (p.35):

“Verily, every Muslim who does not pledge allegiance to the Promised Messiah (Mirza Ghulam Ahmad), whether he heard of his name or not, is a disbeliever and outside the fold of Islam!”
He is also quoted in the Qadiani periodical, Al-Fazl (30th July 1931) as reporting from his father, Ghulam Ahmad himself that he said:

“We disagree with the Muslims in everything: concerning God, the Messenger, the Qur’aan, prayer, fasting, hajj and zakaah. There is a fundamental difference of opinion between us in all of these things!”
