For many attempts, like Rust, I don't think the problem is related to Moore's Law at all. It's more a matter of dev time, effort, and expertise.

And even then, I don't think Rust's mechanisms even can be 100% as they are now.

Ada's pools are probably the one that is most related to Moore's Law and actually capable of 100%, or so I'd expect.

This reminds me of that time the Italian Government decided to regulate the price of face masks (about a year ago, in response to the COVID pandemic).

The result was that (my relatives in Italy told me) it suddenly became impossible to find masks anywhere.

Most producers decided to keep stock unsold hoping that the regulations would change in the future, and some smaller producer actually stopped production altogether or went out of business because it was no longer viable (source, in Italian) https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/mascherine-primi-espulsi-mer...

Yes, that's what I meant with dated. So the linked paper is a work in progress from half a year ago, but presented today on ePrint and with an abstract that has extra text added.

I can not determine if this "discovery" could actually break any practically operating RSA systems. Considering how that is probably true for most people, that could even be the intent here.

The claim that this will destroy RSA cryptosystems, so all of them categorically, just feels like a big red flag to me. If it said it could break RSA under certain circumstances .. then maybe.

Don't get me wrong, I think there are plenty of things wrong with RSA. Not least of all that determining if a key pair has a backdoor (when only having access to a public key), is essentially just as hard as deriving a private key from a public key (both require you to factor the product of two primes). It still puzzles me that apparently only cryptographic strength has been an argument for the adoption of RSA, but not the ability to detect any (trivially simple to add) backdoor. Apparently we are all supposed to trust whoever generated an RSA key pair (and only supplies a public key). Something I'd rather not do in this day and age.
> Thats a good demonstration of ignoring the interests of everyone who doesn’t share your opinion, but it’s not how representative government is supposed to work.

No, not really. Democracy relies on the idea of majority rule. Frameworks for ensuring minority rights aren't trampled on are created but for the most part it is in fact the needs of the many that take precedence. That is mass transit, not individual transit.

> Again, this is not an answer for the problem, and pretending it is just ignores the reality that billions of people live with every day.

This assertion is completely unfounded. Generally folks who have no money spend all of their income on necessities as they receive it. Folks who have money have access to places to park it.
The hard part of modern diet isn't macro composition, it's measuring caloric requirements and sticking close to them over long periods of time. Macro composition can help with that, but eating way too much of the perfect diet is still going to be bad.
Yes, you've posted this elsewhere. Your sourcing is very poor on this, and you don't make it clear that it's residue, rather than an ingredient (further, you exaggerate the hazard substantially, this is something that is consumed in large quantities for treating constipation).

To be clear, it is not an ingredient, and it is Generally Recognized as Safe in multiple applications (https://www.fda.gov/food/food-additives-petitions/food-addit...) and it's pretty obvious from the product this is food equipment lubrication.

> That's literally Trudeau in a nutshell. He has done every one of those.

Good. That's sensible social policy for any developed nation. If the Liberals weren't in the wilderness in the early 2010s they should have done those things then as well. They felt overdue in 2015.

While I can't debate the high-level ideals of the first paragraph of the New Left article, its examples of student movements and grassroots activism don't seem like the sort of thing types like Trudeau, Friedland, or Morneau would associate with. The Federal Liberals are far too pro-business and pro-establishment.

> I find it quite difficult to see anything in that list that Trudeau stands for.

Really? I think the Federal Liberals' attitudes tend to be closer to those ideals than their opposition. The SoCon base of the Tories seem a lot less keen on secularism, individual rights, and freedom of speech.

> He's not a Liberal. That's the clear confusion. Yes Chretien and others were liberals.

I agree with you, I don't think Trudeau's a liberal. I don't think him, Chrétien, or the Federal Liberals are ideologically that much liberals either. I think they're incredibly centrist and are interested in popular policies that strike them as good government. The good things about that include Medicare in the 60s and fiscal reform in the 90s. The bad things include security theatre like the recent firearm legislation. If you're less inclined to realpolitik and more principled about something you'll likely end up with the Conservatives, NDP, or Greens.

> If anything, this is worse than the NDP.

What makes you feel that way? I feel like the Federal NDP would have a different paradigm towards spending than the Liberals. Their 2019 didn't even entertain the idea of a balanced budget.
Jinx! :-)
Your friends probably don't like the fillers they use. The turkey bacon for example uses ground up cherry pits to bulk it out and reduce cost.
The incomplete protein thing is a myth [1]. With anything close to a normal diet with a sufficient quantity of protein, the completeness of that protein has no effect on your physiology. Completeness becomes important only in severely deficient diets, where essential amino acids remain deficient for days or weeks.

Likewise, bioavailability is not an important consideration in any reasonable diet. Your body can use only a finite amount of protein daily, and the vast majority of people in the developed world consume more protein than they can use. Increasing the availability of that protein only requires the body to excrete more "unused" nitrogen.

What makes you think the fats in beef are superior to those in Beyond or Impossible?

Springer did this awhile ago for a weekend, not its entire catalog but many books were free to download. It was wonderful, but brief. From down thread, https://mitpress.mit.edu/blog/mit-press-launches-direct-open

I think it is important for folks to recognize how hard this must have been and how many heated verbal battles were exchanged inside of MIT over this. Thank You.

I've completely given up judging technical decisions as representations of the person who made them's skill or ability.

I still judge the technical decision on how it's impacting the system today (specifically around whether or not it's sustainable), but trying to ascribe intent or brand something as "dumb" is almost always done without the relevant information that went into the decision being made.
It's always worth remembering that there's a difference between employment and a university degree. Universities don't grant degrees until someone has proved they have whatever competency the degree indicates. Employment means you got paid by the company, but what you did to get paid could be lots of things... And it's pretty easy to lie on a résumé. Universities have a reputation to lose if they grant a degree to someone who goes on to mess up badly; corporations have no such ties to a former employee, and Mr. Marotto making a major error when he's no longer employed by Facebook doesn't reflect poorly on Facebook.

"Former Facebook engineer" means Facebook paid him... No more and no less.
That's a really interesting comparison. The part of SST that I didn't get a chance to touch on in the post is the higher level constructs. These give you more of that framework type feel.

Currently we do APIs, queues, cron jobs, and pub/sub. We won't force people to use these but we'll be adding support for more serverless use cases as we go along.

> In Germany there is a growing demand for vegan products, and this demand seems to be very strong, because every grocery store has a growing number of vegan products lately.

As somebody who used to live there, I think this has more to do with the Zeitgeist. Most Germans feel nowadays that one should cause no harm, no offensiveness, and be completely environmentally & socially sound. Which sounds great on paper, but I've found it a recipe for a soul-draining society of "holier-than-thou" people. I do not mean this in the mean sense towards you, but it is one of the reasons I moved from there.

> frequent mass transit is plenty flexible. If a bus comes by your stop every 5 minutes, you never need to worry about planning.

I never once missed my car when I lived in London. Pop along to the end of the street for a bus every 5-10 minutes, or just a little bit further away and I was at a tube station where I could be on a train within 10 minutes that took me right across London far faster than any car could.
The one or two occasions I needed a car, I could rent one, and still be better off than if I'd been paying the month-to-month expenses of keeping a car on the road (insurance, MOT etc.)

This is being discussed in CryptoHack Discord. We are struggling to understand the paper, it is written in a very dense style and the difficulty is compounded by the fact that lattice problems can be a challenging topic even for cryptographers.

Either way, we think that the title "this destroys the RSA cryptosystem" is sensationalistic and probably incorrect. It is presumably based on the fact that the paper claims to reduce some forms of integer factorisation to a lattice problem which can be solved in polynomial time. However, whether this technique applies in the general case to RSA moduli is not argued here and the claim seems to be premature.

7% isn't necessarily better, it could just mean USA adds more additional unnecessary GHG emissions to their agricultural production.

I can't quite recall from the IPCC reports but isn't logistics, particularly shipping, far bigger a contributor. Not that we can only address the biggest contributors. So perhaps shipped soya/maize/whatever is worse than local meat?

Yeah, I recently realized this and am now on a much more streamlined technology (and most products) diet. It definitely sucks because I feel like I'm always missing out on stuff, but it no longer feels right.
This topic gets complicated fast but it boils down most simply to:

1. Options in representation. California is essentially a single-party state. Switzerland has substantially more options in this regard.

2. California is freaking huge, Switzerland is not. Because of this, you have dramatically different interests between different regions in California contrasted with more homogeneous needs in Switzerland.

3. The population of Switzerland is not nearly as diverse as California. They speak several languages there, but overall you have a group of people with very similar cultural and historical values.

4. This point would require a small novel, but in essence California abuses the system to go around the process rather than go through it. You could describe this as the contrast between cooperative governance (Switzerland) and adversarial governance (California).

In short, if we stuck with George Washington's suggestion to lower the maximum size of congressional districts to one representative per 30,000 people, California might be in better shape. It probably would have also been beneficial to listen to Alexander Hamilton when he called parties “the most fatal disease.”
Also worth mentioning that the tooling and language follows the culture to a degree.

Java has incredibly high quality tooling because the engineering culture demands it. (also they tend to pay for it which creates a market. I myself pay maybe ~$400/yr total for my professional tools, Jetbrains Toolbox, Yourkit, etc)

The changes to the language and runtime also follow from this.

I would say Java and it's periphery ecosystems show the most promise in 2020 bar maybe Rust. There is also great things going on in C#/.NET space but I'm less involved there than I was previously so can't speak to how fast it's moving.

The average hourly US wage has not increased or barely so.

Therefore, the inflation adjustment done above corrects for it.

If you want rent increases to stay in line with wages, they will need to be held off entirely.

I had cousins that raised cows until the butcher needed them. This was a long time ago and I’m not sure how the arrangement came about. But they raised the cows as pets and the cows expressed happiness at seeing humans. They were basically giant dogs. And everyone was sad when they had to send a cow to the butcher.

At least they were treated with some dignity and love before the butcher. I wish that system was scalable because it’s hard to view the food industry the same way after looking animals in the face. But I still think it’s morally acceptable to eat them. They are so domesticated, what purpose would they serve if not for food? They can’t be reintroduced into the wild without harm to themselves or the environment.
> Except, i don't think i've yet met a vegan that doesn't consume ultra processed soy and or gluten based products.

Yea, the term "vegan" is pretty silly and meaningless, since it only describes what you don't eat.

I'm fond of the whole-foods-plant-based diet (which is a vegan diet) and is more in line with what you're describing—eating real food. Avoiding processed junk.

While I think eating local is a decent rule-of-thumb good thing, it's also overly-simplistic. Bananas are often used as an example. They're obviously not local to the U.S., and are shipped from long distances. But the environmental impact of bananas is minuscule (not to downplay the other political and agricultural issues with banana plantations).
