Moonshot CVE: Using technology to disrupt, and ultimately end, violent extremism
"We reach people at risk of violent extremism and offer them an alternative path. Our work is rooted in evidence, ethics and the fundamental belief that people can change.

From digital capacity building to counter-messaging campaigns, we use data-proven techniques to ensure our clients respond to violent extremism effectively all over the world."
I agree with your general sentiment but please don't you use "gaslighting" when you just mean "exaggarating". Gaslighting is a very specific process of denying reality to abuse someone, it's not just any bad faith argument
These are not the toughest problems. Here's a tough one: managers that compete with their employees for credit and rewards. Does the company reward managers based on the total output of the team they manage, or do they reward managers on their contribution to the success? If the former, managers will try to hire the best, and help their employees do the best work. If the latter managers will not necessarily try to hire or retain the best, since they are competing for rewards.
Yeah, they are. Recursive checking of libs as suggested doesn't take 30 minutes, or otherwise nobody would complain. And what if you missed something because nobody checks thoroughly the library code in 30 minutes - one will certainly obfuscate any malicious procedure.

Also you can outsource the tests and its easy to do. Depending on the contract, they can even be held liable if you come to get owned via the method that should have been tested.
In Maine for example, when the boards are looking into renewing a charter school's license, their test results on the state exam is heavily weighed. Schools that are not performing well on the tests may get their charter revoked. So the benefit is saving children from incompetent management.

My town's school department had 5 elementary schools. During 4th grade, my elementary school which I lived closest to was underperforming in state evaluation tests. This meant that they allowed anybody attending it to transfer over to any other elementary school. I opted for this option and was able to re-attend my original elementary school before I had moved.

My (charter) high school consistently performed in the higher ranks for SAT & state tests. They didn't have any classes to prepare us for them, although that probably would have been useful from a college admissions perspective. If a school is performing really badly it's probably that their curriculum is flawed or that management isn't doing a good job. Competition applied to learning helps light a fire under people doing a bad job running a school.
> if I live in a place with cheap power, I don't want some outsider to come, take advantantage of that fact, and use so much power until the prices approach average power prices.

There is no way someone use so much power until the prices approach average power prices, without making other changes. Maybe they offer lots of job positions? Maybe they pay lots of local Taxes?

Yes. Money is not everything, but good people can use those money to do "moral" things.

Prior to this article, I’ve never heard of the theory that SSRIs works by improving BDNF. Was this actually a widely accepted possibility?
Germany is a counterexample. Much progress was lost with the decision to accelerate retirement of (rather than extend) nuclear power plants. The rule ought to be we retire all coal, then all (or virtually all) natural gas before considering retiring nuclear. Extend or even upgrade existing nuclear to ensure safety and productivity.

(The US has mostly been doing a pretty good job of this, upgrading and maintaining the existing fleet and even adding a reactor here or there, although we have had some unforced errors like how some nuclear power plants in California were shut down early.)

It's entirely possible to extract value from a stock if the company represented by a stock is doing productive work.

Companies exist to make a profit and many of them do so by providing a service or by selling goods. The profit is paid out through dividends or stock buy backs. As an owner of a stock you have to do absolutely nothing to extract value from that stock. The company is automatically paying out money to you. There is no need to worry about finding a future buyer of your stock because you are assuming that people are analyzing the value of the company and buying it based on that analysis, because if the company keeps doing stock buybacks forever eventually your shares will be the only ones left and if you sell your shares you have cashed out your money without selling to a different investor.

With Bitcoin there are no dividends or buybacks. The only way you can realize value from Bitcoin as an investment is by hoping another investor is buying it from you. These complaints apply to gold as well. It doesn't generate revenue, it produces little value beyond industrial uses, all it should do is track inflation and tracking inflation is a very low bar and in practice cryptocurrencies and gold are outpacing inflation. Stocks too but if you were to invest based on fundamentals there will be a day in the future when your analysis will be spot on. Fundamentals would tell you to stay away from Tesla stock.

But this isn't where problems end, it's where they start. Currencies are not supposed to appreciate. They are supposed to stay the same over long periods of time with a small amount of inflation (around 2%). Bitcoin failed to become a currency and that's why it's worthless.

>you don't seem receptive to another interpretation to intelligent people thinking a technology is promising

I know you are not talking about me but I specifically stated that literally any other cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin is fine, even Ethereum is better than Bitcoin. The insistence that a single specific flawed cryptocurrency is worthy of defense is what really irritates me. There is no need to defend Bitcoin. Stop defending it. You can talk about any other cryptocurrency. You can talk about decentralized apps, you can talk about lightning, you can talk about defi, you can talk about uniswap or rubic, you can talk about prediction markets. Please, talk about anything other than Bitcoin and if you do talk about Bitcoin recognize its flaws and weaknesses.
Then you need to use the word "streaming" correctly. Video streaming is not copying data to a different frame buffer. Nvidia with their Optimus technology doesn't call this "streaming". You used the same term for both.

> If you are so shocked then please explain why Bitcoin miners refused to increase the transactions per block to a level that is suitable for Bitcoin?

I'm no Bitcoin maximalist, but this problem cannot be solved by increasing storage requirements in a linear fashion to accommodate more transactions, as then you are trading one problem for another.

Case in point Bitcoin Cash which, (if actually used) with a block size of 32MB could grow at 1.6 TB/year, prohibiting most individuals from running a node.

There's also the problem analogous to road planning where adding lanes does not decrease congestion, because the level of congestion than exists represents what people are willing to tolerate before giving up on driving.

That being said wrt your question there's also an element of greed in that there's money to be made selling level 2 solutions, but it's not as clear cut as the big block crowd would have it.

The Georgia Tech OMSCS is one option I'm considering which would be more flexible, but I'd definitely need some more courses under my belt before they'd accept me. Unfortunately it'd probably take longer, 3 yrs or so part time I'm guessing.

The kind of 1 year MS in CS masters requiring little or no background that exist in the US aren't really available in Canada as far as I know.

Gatsby at least spends a lot of effort playing cat and mouse with Google's Pagespeed algorithms so you don't have to. That by itself has tons of value.
The hardware signing is not enough for transaction to be accepted. User signing is also required. You need two signatures, that are linked to each other.

As for IDs, this is the right question :)

You are not allowed to have gaps in transactions counter. You have to submit all of them to the network. Sure, you can have some transmission failure due to broken connection or computer failure. For such case a device can have memory of signed transactions (at least recent ones) and re-transmit them until they reach the network.

Except the point is that some parties are more oppressive in power than others, and as it happens the party that is ostensibly against oppressiveness becomes far more oppressive - which we're already seeing online with people using justification like "the paradox of tolerance" to silence others, which is a decidedly leftist/progressive refrain. Ted was prescient. One of the most interesting aspects of the manifesto, IMO, is how little the progressive mindset has changed so many decades after it was written.

Moreover, if one accepts that human ability has some distribution with variance, then it follows that the only way to enforce total equity, which is in fundamental contradiction with human nature in a scarce universe, is by extreme authoritarianism and oppression. But idealists don't see that part of the picture until it's far too late - which is the pattern of color revolutions across time and space.

Same as Facebook or Twitter or Instagram. They may use less power but their negative influence is far greater.
> It's almost entirely a speculative bubble.

Just the other week an older relative asked me to help get them set up so they could buy Ethereum. Another friend asked me to help them setup an account to buy Doge. Neither have any intention of using it as anything besides a speculative store of value because they hear other people are buying it, which would be fine if it didn’t actually have such poor environmental externalities.

What a time to be alive.
Other people have talked about skin in the game or whether you’re ignoring valid criticism. I think the thing that’s been bothering me recently is the asymmetry of some ‘commenters’. My job is hard, we’re under water in terms of critical things to do vs people who can do them. Which is a point at which someone who has no expertise coming in and going “oh well what about this” becomes toxic. It is incredibly frustrating to have to explain to a dilletante the 20 different things going into a decision and eventually bring them to the same conclusion you already made because it’s actually your job.

That’s not every situation - some times people really do have experience and know better or have tips or suggestions. The likelihood is though- if it’s my job, I’ve probably spent more time thinking about it than the person just coming in.
If you interpret a grammar (in this case, a list of dimensions for evaluating one's choices) in the terms of another grammar (in your interpretation, the ranking order of horse race or other competition) you impose a structure on the conclusion and what logically follows, that is orthogonal or irrelevant to the original statement.

There is no reason I see that placing morals last in that list places it below the technical or business dimensions, and assuming good intentions would seem to require that they were ordered that way because morality is in fact the bottom line or last word, rather than tacked on as some also ran, in itself requiring technical and business success to be actualized, while in fact standing as the higher goal.

The most charitably I can view your response is that you discount technique and business due to some prevalence of corruption in them but do not likewise discount moralism.

What shall it profit a man to lose the whole world? Immorality itself often follows failures to thrive, ie cheating to get an edge in one way or another.
>The thing is... Bitcoin solves a problem for almost nobody. It's almost entirely a speculative bubble. Citizens of stable countries are almost entirely better off with traditional currencies.

Tell that to citizens of countries who have experienced hyperinflation and whose currencies became worthless almost overnight.

There is a reason every asset is going up right now. Real estate, stocks, commodities, and crypto. More money is being printed this year than ever before. The financial media and the fed can claim minimal inflation but the markets are exposing that claim as dubious.

I would be much happier if there were no innovation. Instead of just wasting electricity, we are wasting lives and minds. We have teams designing custom silicon to print Bitcoin. At least it's better than them working for Google, I suppose.

A "mine" is just a big warehouse full of jerry-rigged infrastructure. It will employ maybe two people and will pack up shop in an afternoon if the owners find cheaper electricity elsewhere. It doesn't provide any value to the local economy.

I beleive you're saying this sarcastically, but I personally think this is quite true. Most modern memes grew in the morass that are the 'chans, as have a lot of beneficial movements.

Now, with the good has come the questionable and outright bad. Q-anon being only the latest example.

The chans are the modern equivalent of city parks with their soapboxes. There is both good and bad, because speech on the 'chans is almost completely free. And, IMO, that's a good thing.

I firmly believe that civilization in general would benefit from more truly free spaces online. Free and anonymous speech is one of the cornerstones that the US was founded upon, after all.
When I've played it I've played it with my DnD group and playing it as roleplay can take the sting out of a lot of that. But yeah, it can be tough. Twilight Imperium can have a lot of the same diplomacy fun but feels less edgy -- the downside being it's quite a bit more complex.

Same thing happened when it peaked at 20k - the hairdressers were talking about Bitcoin and altcoins. The difference this time is big time investors started gambling with it - so who knows where it's going to go.
Doubtful it will doom it. Bitcoin and similar crypto scale difficulty based on the amount of power spent.

So if a bunch of miners drop off due to electricity prices or such concerns, the network will simply readjust and keep on going.

BTC has a lot of issues, but nothing forces it to be ever power hungrier. It can scale down the energy consumption and keep on existing just fine.
Constructive mathematics rejects the law of excluded middle.

In a non-constructive mathematics it is true that 'either A or not A is true' and that allows you to prove existence of objects with certain properties by disproving their non-existence (if it cannot not-exist then it has to exist, by the law of excluded middle). Constructive mathematics, on the other hand, says that that's not enough and to prove that there exist objects with some properties you have to prove their existence.
This really isn't true, and TypeScript is fundamentally different from most other typed languages (except perhaps for typed Scheme / typed Racket) and as such is often used in different ways. You should look into the differences.
More likely to be anything else but CS (and frankly, medicine). A doctorate in almost anything plus a smart suit gets you into management track quickly. There's a reason why Germany had quite a number of fake doctorate scandals in politics. And probably will continue to do so for a while...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuitionistic_logic

If you are familiar with "Classical" logic, constructive math omits the law of excluded middle (e.g. "A or not A" must be true). In ZFC, the axiom of choice is omitted.

This leads to proofs that are not only a verification of some idea but also gives you the mechanism to compute the evidence. This is often described as "the computational content of proofs" and is especially valuable in the context of the Curry-Howard isomorphism: for every proof, there is a corresponding program (and vice-versa). This is the basis for formal verification of constructive proofs. When creating a proof in Coq, you are actually writing the corresponding program. And you can even extract the program in another general purpose programming language (usually OCaml in the context of Coq, but Haskell is also supported).
I've never witnessed rogue engineers. If the team has business-driven objectives how could they possibly have enough time to chase rainbows? Any time a rewrite or refactor has been done in my org, it was pitched up the chain of command and explained in terms of business value (ie performance, maintenance, retention).
With the proviso that the non-constructive statement '∃ x such that P(x)' can also be understood constructively as '¬∀ x ¬P(x)' which does not require constructing a suitable x, so classical proofs can be modeled without adding any extra axioms to the logic. (Clearly the two statements are classically, though not constructively equivalent).

Similarly, all classical uses of LEM (A ∨ B) can be understood as constructive statements of the form
¬(¬A ∧ ¬B).

It's a special kind of "wellness" that wants to expose a bunch of people in close quarters in an enclosed space to a deadly virus.

Probably not a representative sample, but the NYT photo of the recall protest shows precisely zero wearing masks.
I used to be of the same opinion, but I gotta say that Fukushima really did have an impact on me (on the long-run, it didn't have an immediate impact). But I have been wondering, if an incredibly advanced nation such as Japan faces very serious issues with their nuclear power-plants, is it really the right choice? Can we really guarantee that nothing goes seriously wrong, ever? Cause that's the standard those plants have to operate under, what if there's an earthquake in Indonesia right next to one of those nuclear power plants, is Indonesia in a better position to deal with such a disaster than Japan?

Nuclear power plants have zero tolerance for serious accidents. And zero-tolerance is never a good margin to operate on.

There is a solution to the additive API problem, but C and C++ do not allow it. The solution is to create separate modules like x11/v1, x11/v2, etc. which live in the same distribution. It is therefore permitted for module A to use x11/v1, module B to use x11/v2, and module C to use both A and B (you may need to also provide a shim between common types like a to_v1 function). In this setup x11_v2 probably exposes many of the same bindings as v1, but that is ok since it is low effort to wrap a function or to re-export a private module with the common bindings.

This doesn't work in C/C++ due to how the C ABI works. There needs to be an easy way to say that even though A and B both have a foo function they are not the same foo and a way for module C to use both versions of foo by renaming one of them in its source. This is the greatest sin of the C ABI in my opinion, not even the lack of overloads.
This isn't a great argument for building more nuclear plants. It might be an argument for hiring someone else to build them...
