I think the argument that locking down hardware is unfair to thieves is not likely to garner a lot of support. But the larger argument that it's unfair to users should. The majority of whom didn't know they were signing up for a machine that is so theft-proof they can't give it to a grandparent or donate it to a school. I don't think it's unreasonable to say that easily-bricked hardware leads to more sales for Apple (and I hope I don't need to wipe my Mini any time soon...)

It is a sidecar which sits alongside your application. You can access it via http or grpc. They additionally provide multi-language sdks for it. Think database + sdks but for distributed systems.

It's neat to think about how that would evolve. I'm assuming as the beginning those two surfaces where without gear teeth and only relied on friction. As the insect evolved, the insects with a more tougher surface there would be able to get more friction and thus force transfer leading to further hops. Take that to the extreme and you've got gears!

I sure don't want to answer the question for the guy but as a response to your chain of comments, first let's get it straight that telegram is not E2EE everywhere, it is only E2EE in secret chats. Also it is not entirely proprietary, most of the client's code is open source which is a huge bonus when you know that only your messages are not super private and not all of the data on your phone or computer.

Having Facebook owned crap in the same sentence as telegram is doing telegram dirty, telegram has shown that they stand up for censorship and the program provides a pretty basic privacy level that i think should be the absolute minimum. Whatsapp on the other hand is facebook owned and we all know what that means so no need to elaborate.

E2EE is not everything, it doesn't mean that your conversation are private. Even if you can prove that the proprietary app uses E2EE (Discord said they did use it for voice calls but then they posted charts of what people talked about...) there is the metadata part which is still super goddamn important.
Knowing: (who talks to who, when and where, with what device...etc) is still super effective to fuck someone over.

Lastly, there shouldn't be any privacy guarantee with proprietary apps because you can never know what the app will do, you can make speculations based on intercepting network packets and looking at system logs on it accessing memory places and stuff. But there is always the nice surprise of it doing not what it is supposed to do which is considered by all means malware. Remember even on a pixel with Graphene OS Proprietary apps can still use super sonic tracking if worse comes to worse for them.

It was not a 1B transaction. It was supposed to be a 7.8M transaction. Not trivial, I admit. But from what is written in the article, it seems that even if they had transacted just 1$, they might have ended up in the same situation of losing 900M. With 1$, there might not have even been the added layer of 3 people checking the transaction.

Well but how do you get the money to buy any bitcoin in the first place ?

You don't invest in crypto currencies, you join early enough to sell to the next level of the pyramid you convince via social media post :s

But well you're right to say people should balance portfolio, I however don't see the value of the lottery, it's like paying taxes twice, with no chance of winning ever. At least bitcoin slowly loses value, a lottery ticket will lost its entire value a few days after purchase in 99.9999% of cases
In what way is 'cancel culture' different from 'the opinions of, and respect held by, other people'?

If you do something, or say something, and when I hear about it I feel less respect for you then I had done previously - is that cancel culture? Am I cancelling you?

If you're a musician or film maker or author who I appreciate, but it's then revealed that privately you have expressed racist views, and now I feel less respect for you and decide not to listen to your music or watch your films or read your books - am I cancelling you? Am I morally obligated to keep supporting you financially?

Fear over being "cancelled", in my opinion, is simply fear of a boycott. It's nothing new or scary.

If the email account you use for Amazon is a Gmail account they email a receipt of purchase to that account, which Google will use for 'relevant ads'.

But of course in that case you are expressly granting permission for Amazon to contact google. If it was done via a TOS agreement or something then yes I agree, that would be concerning.

What do you think of our new PDF Service?
So after looking for an easy to use Puppeteer service that was hosted in the cloud, was affordable, and didn't have an awful API and Dashboard I decided to create my own.

I had a couple goals in mind:

1. Make it affordable, as all the other services seem ridiculously priced.
2. Add my own solutions on top of the out of box experience to solve some of the more common issues. So we added customer header/footer solution and the ability to auto-scroll a webpage to force lazy loading. We will keep adding these types of features.
3. Give a rich Dashboard to allow people to get live feedback, for troubleshooting, and monitoring of their jobs.

We have many future goals as well, we plan on expanding this past Puppeteer and offering non-code tooling so you can convert documents using the user interface, and much more.

Let me know your thoughts, this is a very niche category so I don't expect everyone to understand the need for a service like this, and I get that. But if you do think this is useful, and we are missing something, please let me know! We are looking for feedback, so we can create the perfect solution.

The wast majority of people out there have no mental capacity to imagine how data they post online and provide to various orgs could be and most likely eventually will be used against them. This is evidenced by the continuing proliferation of dumb comments along the lines of "I am boring", "I am doing nothing wrong", etc.

There is a tremendous cognitive bias in play here. The idea that because most people around you don't weaponize certain types of information means no one anywhere will ever weaponize that information, even if it is globally and indefinitely available.
There's a good argument that these are still system failures. If a single individual can intentionally blow up a nuclear reactor, that's a massive point of failure. Humans are often irrational and prone to anger, depression, malice, and greed. Any of those impulses could be motivation for destructive action. Nuclear submarines avoid this by requiring multiple personnel to simultaneously coordinate in activating a launch.

On Chernobyl, my take away from the excellent Netflix mini-series was that there was a massive cultural failure, where everyone abdicated responsibility, and there no ability for employees to counter poor decisions from superiors. Culture and organizational design are also important components of complex systems
This concept is elemental to any competent manager. Which is funny, because I've had very, very few managers who've ever understood it.

Oddly enough, the ones who utilized it most were in the military, using the "Swiss Cheese" method of failure analysis. In order for a failure to actually occur, there had to be a complete path all the way through the "cheese", where the problem wasn't caught by any "slice". So a failure at the lowest level was also a failure at each level all the way to the top, and each level was required to figure out why it wasn't caught at their level. Very effective system.
From coq FAQ:

Some French computer scientists have a tradition of naming their software as animal species: Caml, Elan, Foc or Phox are examples of this tacit convention. In French, “coq” means rooster, and it sounds like the initials of the Calculus of Constructions CoC on which it is based.

Agree on your points, tech WFH/remote policies should benefit a city (especially more car-centric like Atlanta). If they can prioritize proximity to public transit, mainly rail or core bus route, that really helps, but if not, could also be a reason to make investment in transit to that area.

I think you are missing the fact that the solutions are already in place for all of this.

> One is the highly dynamic nature of cargo dependencies. libfoo might depend on a myriad of crates transitively and rust simply is too young to provide any experience in how long they will be available or supported. And no, it is generally not a good idea to update to new feature releases for security updates. This is something that stable distributions explicitly try to avoid.

crates.io is designed so that dependencies put up on it remain available forever, and that the only other cargo related dependencies also have to be hosted on crates.io - solving the availability problem.

Of course if you're trying to backport a security fix to an old version of a transitive dependency that (like the non-transitive dependency) is no longer supported, you do have to make that backport. Once you make that backport it's easy to update the version of the transitive dependency with a [patch] section in the top level Cargo.toml.

> The second problem is the compiler itself. Any change in libfoo-1.2 might require a newer version of rust.

This is already mitigated in multiple ways. As discussed before, people do make sure to support old versions of compilers, you don't need to have a compiler on your target platform anyways. But moreover, the amount new language features make backporting difficult is dwarfed by the amount that internal library changes do.

The reserve rate is currently 0. Yes, 0. That means banks can loan infinite money, and are limited only by the amount of people that can afford to hold more debt.

>68% of personal debt is mortgage debt. Another ~10% is auto loan debt [1]. Most home owners aren't considered poor. A (largely) disproportionate share of poor people don't own cars, don't have access to credit, and also didn't go to college.

The idea that poor people could hold a large percentage of debt is - in itself - paradoxical / ridiculous. In order to have debt, you need something to service the debt with. Otherwise, you're bankrupt.

The major caveat here is student debt - anyone can load up on student debt regardless of ability to service - and there's no way out of the debt. You can't file bankruptcy.

The book Never Enough by Judith Grisel is a good addition this field, and probably this book.

Short version - your body longs to be at equilibrium/homeostasis and drugs (alcohol, stimulants, opiates, etc) upset that equilibrium, so your body attempts to return you to your previous state.

There is no free lunch, and a high will be accompanied by a low. The lows come in numerous and surprising forms.

The book is significantly better than my description.
"If you’re not wearing a mask, when we have this highly communicable disease, then you’re potentially impacting the rights of other people."

The same argument could be made for heroin. The point is that 'not wearing a mask' does not endanger someone's life in any way unless someone is infected with covid. yet the author suggests that not wearing a mask is "potentially impacting the rights of other people" Then surely the same argument could be made for people using heroin, you're not endangering anyones life by using heroin unless you're causing drug-related crimes. Which is the exact argument the government used to declare war on drugs. This is quite a contradiction by equavalency.

The rest of the article is reasonable. I dont think he has said anything that fell outside the mainstream medical and psychological view.
There is one additional factor which is used in practice. Fossil fueled plants like those operation on oil can get paid to operate in backup mode. I know plants here in Sweden does this, and I suspect it is either tax funded directly or by the grid connection cost that get added on top of the metered cost.

This way a traditional fossil fueled power station get paid to maintain capacity regardless of current demand, and the response time is kept low in case of changing weather.

From the perspective of the government, they are simply paying for a reliable power grid. From the perspective of renewable energy plants, they can sell energy at a lower price than fossil fueled power plants with smaller investment. From the perspective of the fossil fueled power plant they get paid twice, once for being backup and then any power they then happen to sell when the price goes up because of the weather. From the perspective of capacity, both renewable and fossil fueled power plants tries to have capacity close to 100% of demand and thus get invested and built accordingly.

From my own perspective I am not sure this is the cleanest, most stable or cheapest way to run a power grid.
Nit: Gaelic is the wrong word here. They spoke Brittonic. "Gaelic" is "Q Celtic", spoken exclusively at that point in Ireland (and then later by Irish settlers in the north of Britain which became the Scotts).

The Brittonic speakers later became the Welsh, Cornish, and (as emigres to the continent) the Breton.

Very different branches of the Celtic language tree. Not mutually intelligible. Brittonic has more in common with (extinct) Gaulish ("P celtic")

Also the Romans established a landholding system in Gaul that took its agricultural lands under Roman control, so in a sense they definitely had impact on the local population. The rich farmland of Gaul was one of the key reasons for the conquest in the first place.

Though service in the Roman military by Gauls themselves meant they could in turn have rights to access the land as Romans. A further method of Romanization though.
