Being a (however necessary) part of the toolchain is importantly different than being responsible for the revenue. Such tools often fall under "it ain't broke, don't mess with it". Until they are broke, of course.
I don’t understand why they get taxpayer-funding.
That's not entirely true. They can kill any small and medium business easily. Taking out larger competitors in such a way will likely invoke lots of unwanted antitrust attention. Over the entire world. But they can easily kill any small competitor.
A junky is a victim of powerful actors contributing to addiction? Presumably if we're talking about someone who got addicted to precipitation opioids and then turned to heroin, yes. You do have a point there. It's like the partner that cheats because she feels neglected. Yes that was a contributing factor, but at the end of the day nobody put a gun to their head - it was a (bad?) choice that they made. Yeah physical addiction to prescription drugs is a little different, a little closer to having a gun to your head, but still.

What about those who were recreational drug users that went down a dark and dangerous path? Presumably in this case it's fair to put the blame on them. Yeah, maybe they had issues with their parents and maybe they had some other problems. But nobody put a gun to their head. They made a bad choice and paid the price. That's how life is.

You can't absolve personal responsibility either.
The whole thing has alot of great quips: "Just before 5.1 MR, someone reran my tests and discovered that the performance had gotten even worse. Some effort was expended to tune the software so that instead of being intolerable, it was back to merely unacceptable performance."
I think a better fix for this issue (because, of course, they can seize the other party's phone) is to use Signal's expiring/disappearing messages, so that they are (presumably) erased from both devices after the specified period of time.

I wonder if the method of "disappearing" the messages used by the app is vulnerable to forensic analysis or not.
For those of us who can type very quickly, every movement of the hand away from the keyboard (to the mouse) and back has a high cost in terms of lost typing opportunity.

If speed and subconscious operation are the goal, then it's best to stick to as much keyboard only as possible, or alternately to learn to maximize the one hand keyboard + mouse approach (which can actually be very fast once you know your tools).
They do exist and are still redeemable for Euros at fixed rate. Little weird but germany is a big country that wants people to trust it, so 20 years after Euro was adopted it's still worth 1.95 deutchmarks.
You'll notice users of the silk road who were risking life in prison used BTC, not credit cards, as their form of payment. If it truly was trivial to link a wallet to your IRL identity every user of the site would have been charged with multiple felonies, and yet that never happened.
If you are really paranoid you'd also worry about future attacks revealed through algorithmic flaws, quantum computing, or simple increases in processing power.

I guess our hope is that they won't care what we said after a decade or two.

A great deal of that probably comes down to how much you respect/like your parent. I think both my sister and myself resemble our dad far more than our mom, and our mom definitely demonstrated her personal interest onto us. My dad in comparison, while not really engaging with our interests, certainly didn't actively try to get in their way like my mom did.
Fair point. In europe, say, would that be marketed as low acid rapeseed oil though, rather than canola?

Robinhood hardly, if at all, monetizes interest on non-invested balances anymore. Their cash-management feature sweeps any uninvested funds into FDIC insuranced accounts with partner banks, earning typical Savings accounts interest rates: 2% before Covid, and currently 0.30%.

Venmo, PayPal, and CashApp are the ones monetizing interest on their clients' funds, essentially acting as a checking account paying 0% interest.

The Signal app, to the best of my understanding, does have a built in dead man's switch in the form of the PIN system. You can apparently set the time range in the settings.

Generally shortcuts are far more efficient - navigating via vim movements are incredibly fast for proficient users.

Same holds true if you use excel, shortcut gurus generally far faster to accomplish the same thing.

SPF, DKIM, DMARC are must have for today mail and yet many domain owners fail to make even the first and easiest step - publish a valid SPF record. Some mistakes I commonly see (don't do this):

* no space between directives: "v=spf1 ip4:192.0.2.0/24 include:example.org-all"
* space inside a directive: "v=spf1 ip4:192. 0.2.0/24 -all"
* bad mechanism: "v=spf1 ipv4:192.0.2.1 -all"
* no mechanism: "v=spf1 192.0.2.1 example.com"
* = instead of : "v=spf1 include=example.com"
* Unicode, mostly dashes (but I've seen zero-width spaces too): "v=spf1 —all"
* Two SPF records for the same domain: "v=spf1 mx:example.com -all", "v=spd1 include:example.net ?all"

Don't know where it coming from, but IMHO we see a generation of developers/admins raised by Google search: you can type a search query with mistakes and still get what you want. Or may be web browsers to blame - you can screw up HTML/CSS in dozens ways and they'll render content anyway. And they start to think that all IT systems forgive small mistakes and typos. They just don't get that sometimes you have to read RFC (or at least simplified how-to) and follow it exactly.

Let me predict Apples answer to that for you.

They don’t care.

They don’t have to care. They don’t care. If you are hurt by this decision, you can either change or give up. You can complain on web forums and try to convince other developers but the fact is that you are a force against one of Apples core values, user privacy. They have barely anything to gain from you and one of their core values to lose.

You’d need some serious leverage to make them care and you don’t have it. And even if you had, Apple would simply build their own framework and use their control over the platform, the tools, the stores and the rules to completely crush you. And if you imagine you have an antitrust case, it will take years and you will probably lose.
Like riding a bicycle, there is a whole lot you do without the consciousness forward thinking about it.

Sure pieces of your brain are actually doing the mechanics of controlling your body and thus the bicycle... but you aren't thinking about it consciously (mostly).

Imagine posing a dummy walking down the street in stop-motion animation. You are very consciously controlling every aspect, every tiny movement is subject to your awareness and decision. Compared to walking down the street yourself. You don't think about balancing, placing each step, contracting and releasing dozens of muscles in sync... it just happens. Sure sometimes you make very explicit decisions on where to step, to avoid a puddle or dog shit or whatever, but most of the time all of that is way outside of conscious control, you just do it.
Once upon a time, I was a Vim user. I learned many of the commands, such that a typical day involved swatting at the keyboard like it's a drum set. But I later realized that half of the satisfaction I felt I got out of Vim was just the feeling that I could, more than that it was actually that fast. Sure, some things like macros can be much faster in a given situation, but the amount of savings you get from typing Shift-V % instead of picking up the mouse and dragging over a paragraph is not really that high compared to the amount of time you spend writing and thinking about code.

The type of equipment ASML produces generally gets brought in at a specific time during the construction. They kinda build the cleanrooms around ASML's machines instead of bringing them in afterwards.

Retooling for EUV (or any new generation of such equipment) is very hard. Most (if not all) foundries build new factories rather than retooling old ones.

There is a (popular?) meal replacement product called Soylent. I guess negative association is not bad for business in reality.
Also, it has hardware specs that make it reasonable to emulate. You're very unlikely to see a PS5 or Xbox Series X emulator anytime soon.
> Isn’t most of work browsing code and Googling things?

Browsing code is mostly done in an editor with the keyboard, for me. And Googling things isn't exactly something I spend hours a day doing.

Additionally, I make more mistakes clicking slightly outside what I'm trying to click on than I do using keyboard shortcuts which work without precise fine motor control.
A simple "back of the envelope" power use calculation of the possible power use of the bitcoin network, using the total hash rate from
https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/bitcoin/hashrate-chart
( 151.55 EH/s )
and assuming all Antminer S19 (110 TH/s for 3250 watts)

gives me a total power use of 0.00445 TWH which is very different to the 121 TWH on the cbeci site.. even given the efficiency range of mining gear (like if spread of included hw included stuff 10 x less efficient), cooling systems etc, what am I missing?
I dont do these power calculations often so have a left a parameter out?

I would be surprised if they did not have a back door in the chip's firmware but so far nobody had found or talked about it.

They can intercept post de-encryption data if they hack the firmware during design period and get access.
Signal uses a sqlite database with an encryption extension for any long term storage of data. The key to this database is kept in whatever the phone uses for key storage. So if you break the phone you get everything including the old messages. The moral is to not keep the old messages around and delete them after you are done with them and hope they actually end up deleted.

This is a hard problem simply because of the medium. If you do encrypted instant messaging you need to have everything fairly exposed all the time. You simply can't make it as secure as something like encrypted email where you can lock down everything very strongly and only unlock it when you are in a safe environment. The extra level of security also means that keeping the old messages around is a lot less risky.
As others have written, a block can handle at most (I think 100, but the exact number doesn’t matter) transactions, so to get an lower bound on consumption per transaction we could divide the block’s energy requirements by this number.

This precisely is the difference of having genetic predisposition to addiction, trauma etc.

No, it’s not a choice more than obesity / food addiction is.

If you’re interested in expanding your thinking see the work of Gabor Mate.
Sadly, no.

There’s still some “trust” required in both Whispersystems to not backdoor updates, as well as Apple and Google to not backdoor the distributed apps after Whispersystems submit updates for publication.

There is though, some ability for skilled enough people to “trust but verify” by reversing the app bundles after publication. I believe (but not for any good evidence based reason) that there are “enough eyeballs” interested in Signal that _hopefully_ if a backdoored app update ever appears the white hats will raise the alarm quickly (I have no doubt the black hats will sell the details to NSO/GreyKey just as quickly...)

The difference for me was realizing that Shift-V % will typically highlight precisely what I want - though that's a bad example, visual mode is rare for me. More frequently it's something like `dap`, which works with a level of precision across lines that aren't necessarily all on screen. If I click and drag, I'm liable to select one extra or one less line, e.g.

To defend against on-device attacks or iCloud backups, Telegram would need to do its own, separate encryption of its storage and prompt the user for a passphrase at app launch.

The typical security model for iOS apps assumes that the local device is secure, as its storage is already encrypted by the system based on its passcode/biometrics (on initial power-up biometrics aren't available).

End-to-end encryption within chat apps typically refers to encryption over the network. It does not include encryption of messages once they reach their intended recipients.

This story is a fun read, but the "Chrome could ruin us at any moment" angle is more story telling hyperbole than reality.

At that time on Chrome we were just figuring out a process to remove features and were pretty conservative. We debated a lot about the right way to remove things without causing damage to the web ecosystem. In an early attempt we had failed trying to remove a legacy feature and needed to revert it. It had broken a big company who had then contacted Google directly about the business impact and it taught us a lesson about being careful.

IIRC WebSQL had very high usage and we didn't seriously considering removing it. It's also pretty self contained so the cost on the engine isn't that high.

Chrome still supports WebSQL today because the usage remains quite high at 1%:

At current energy consumption rates for average mining equipment, it took 2.4 million terrawatts to mine Elon Musk's $1.5 billion in Bitcoin. Pretty sure that such horrendous energy consumption would be better used elsewhere, such as keeping the lights on in people's homes.
As a lifelong TX resident, to say Austin gets those three phenomenons in any regular, meaningful sense is inaccurate. They can upon occasion get any of those, but not like Oklahoma gets tornadoes, Houston gets hurricanes, or Denver gets ice storms.

Thunderstorms and wild swings in weather during non-Summer months are definitely mainstream, though.
Which is fair, but the impact is much less.

The bigger issue with GP's comment is that, even if every major country on earth requires PoW systems to use renewable electricity (which won't happen any time soon in the first place) and can't run on the regular mixed grid, then after switching to countries without such laws (until there are none left), the renewable energy will be bought up at the source and the coal and gas plants will continue to supply everyone else. Nothing changes.

We need to change everything else to renewable before this starts to be effective. It would make a much bigger impact if some countries, where users want to use cryptocurrency, make it illegal to use proof-of-work-based goods or currencies (whatever it's classified as). Suddenly a coin with PoS or something else becomes much more popular and we might, perhaps, shift over to a digital coin that is not a climate disaster.
I once conducted an on-site interview with a candidate for a software engineering position whose resume had no software engineering experience or education listed and who politely told me about five minutes into the interview that they couldn't design or write software. They weren't aware they were interviewing for a software engineering position.

Despite multiple resume reviews and two phone interviews (one of which was supposedly technical) I was the first person to pick up on this.

The company had paid for them to fly over from the east coast, too.
In general observation, the kids are going to like what they're going to like.

While nature has its role, and both of our kids are skilled in math, and comfortable with the geek nature of puzzling over that which is unknown and becoming skilled at it, neither of them are into programming computers, despite both their parents having the background.

Instead, one's a visual artist. The other's a theater geek.

I opened the door to introducing them to programming, but with a light touch, as I knew a hard sell would make them hate it. They weren't interested, though I think one is starting to dabble with MineCraft mods. Fortunately, I half expected it, and they're good at what they like to do, so that will hopefully be a source of contentment for them in the future.
PE has a melting point around 100-150c. In house fires, flashover (the point where fires become widespread because hot gasses created by smaller fires self ignite) are in the realm of 3-4x this (~500-600c). Your bricks would literally be loose sand by that point.

>[...] understanding the context of the narrator being a returning soldier and member of the lost generation is important.

This was one of my biggest annoyances about how this book is usually presented and taught to high school students.

Back when I was a HS student myself (barely a decade ago), I had read that book. While it was a decent book imo, I thought it was overhyped. Mostly because the primary message of the book explained to us by teachers was that it was basically a story about a man who was so deeply in love with a woman who he didn't get to date, he had built great riches and life for himself. And yet none of that extravagant lifestyle could satisfy his desire for her, and it all ends in a tragedy. Something something greed something something green eyes are a symbol of his undying light for her or something.

And while the veteran background of the narrator was mentioned by teachers quite a few times, and we were told it was important to know, teachers never went as far as explaining why and how it was important to the story. Or how it was related at all. No connection to the lost generation either, besides it being mentioned once. Basically, the book was treated as a dramatic tragedy about a very quick fall of a man due to his love and desire. At no point when the book was discussed years later with people in real life it went deeper than that.

Many years later, I saw someone pointing out what you've just pointed out in your comment online, and the book had suddenly clicked for me. It all started making sense, and I finally understood why it was regarded so highly. If you view the entirety of the storyline through the eyes and context of the narrator's past, it adds a whole different dimension to the story, which not only adds depth, it straight up transforms your entire understanding of what it really was about.

The only solid analogy I can think of is if someone described MLK's civil rights movement as a simple protest due to a woman being so stubborn she didn't want to sit in the back of the bus, and her friends wanted to back her up, because they were upset about separate fountains and other facilities too. But once you actually understand what it was about, it completely changes the impact and gravity of what it really was.
Er, yes, that was my point: the problem is with the fractions (and especially though not exclusively the 'proper' fractions), not with the choice of metric vs imperial for units.
