You're right: our only two options are (A) extreme libertarianism where the Government exists only to protect the interests of the rich, and (B) the government literally exterminating its own citizens. We better be careful not to increase taxes on the rich or we risk immediately turning into (B)!

Also, didn't I just say that eugenics was a horrible thing that was in-vogue in the early 20th century? Isn't that exactly what you're saying?
Don’t worry; they’re getting rid of cash too. I don’t understand the crackdown though. Crypto is a dream for tracing criminals. Even the privacy coins.

> Honestly, this is a bad argument.

It is a protective heuristic for the non-tech people.

Basically, the more something mentions crypto coins, the higher the likelihood that it is a scam of some type.

It is not always true, but it is true enough for the average person and , in general, functions pretty well as a heuristic.

Thus, they hear about this new, previously unknown, chat service, and see an association with crypto coins, their scam detector immediately goes off, and they don’t want anything to do with it.

Imo seems reasonable. There are plenty of other government agencies with far more power in their respective industries. FDA, Public Health Departments, the myriad of banking regulators.

In may of those, the respective regulators can shit the entire business down. Here, the FBI didn't even power the servers off and they got a warrant without going through a secret court

Companies have had plenty of time to address the issue on their own, at this point
I use Wire with some family members. The web client takes an age to load, and the best way to describe the UX of their mobile (Android) client is "Like wading through molasses".

Swiping or hitting the back key to leave a chat, entering a chat from the group/contact list, and tapping on a notification to reply in-app is absolutely painful.

Some inspired soul will say "Great! That's a golden opportunity for a Matrix bridge!" And it would be, if that wasn't explicitly against Wire's ToS. As such, it's the absolute dog of an app, or nothing. iOS must be better though, as nobody else has suggested switching. And between poor performance on Wire, or all the drawbacks of Whatsapp, I know which one I choose.

Statistics (merely observation and counting) cannot establish or even discover causation in principle. Period.

No matter how many per reviewed gibberish papers will be published, the philosophical principle will stand.

What you observe are effects. Causes are not there.

Only discrete, fully observable, simple systems, like dice or a deck of cards, could be modelled adequately.

Most of real world complex systems with multiple causation cannot.

With the right malware, your CPU rents itself as part of a Botnet.

I remember doing the Seti at Home and Folding at Home projects as a screen saver that used CPU time to solve problems. That was for charity.

How is this different than mining for Bitcoin or any other virtual currency? I want to make sure my CPU is not used for illegal means and then the FBI busted down my door because my CPU was part of a peer to peer network serving kiddie porn?

Isn’t data collection and mining better managed with policies and enforcement than a poor technical solution like cryptocurrency transactions?

Thanks! Looks like they link Facebook's 10Q filing. Can't tell how they arrived at the number though.

I agree that their losses were surprisingly high at the time... especially given how lean their engineering team and operations were supposed to be. (https://blog.whatsapp.com/1-million-is-so-2011/?lang=en)
Rust and Firefox are important in very different ways. Firefox is still critically important to the Web as a standards-based platform, which is really important to stop client applications collapsing into Google/Apple walled gardens. People just care less about the latter than they should (and did).
Also, _even if_ we steel-manned the design and imagine SGX is truly only used as a "defence-in-depth" layer on top of a ringct blockchain, using SGX to prove that SGX Lightning nodes weren't keeping transaction info would still be better privacy under many circumstances.

Lightning transactions are ephemeral: once the transaction happens, _no_ data about the transaction actually needs to be kept by anyone, let alone on a public blockchain. And only the peers directly involved in the route ever learn about the transaction directly.

Whereas with SGX, if SGX is broken in the future - and it will be - the statistical analysis on the underlying blockchain data is still possible. And unlike MobileCoin, this design wouldn't put SGX in any kind of trust or custodial position at all: if SGX failed, you'd just close the Lightning channels the same way any other Lightning implementation would, and open new channels with non-SGX peers.
Usually warrants have to be pretty specific. This one is, as to the thing that they are searching for. But it isn't, not as to the places to search. Anyways, I doubt the warrant will be challenged, so it works. It's quite the innovation. I... like it, provided they really do only uninstall the malware and close the vulnerability.
That's not really surprising, is it? The M1's eight cores are in a big.LITTLE configuration, half of them are not as powerful as the other half.
Generally people probably wouldn't be so hostile about making a new cryptocurrency in general, there's well over 1000, but premining and bring up front about the premine is very important info.
>Because - and correct me if I'm misunderstanding things - so far as I can tell it wasn't really an "agreement" to begin with.

Your somewhat understanding things. It definitely was an agreement, passed by the UN, the EU, and thus somewhat the US.

The disagreement is whether a congressional vote is necessary as well, which most UN agreements don't require but allow for congress to vote against them. There weren't enough senators against the agreement for that to happen, but because there weren't enough to vote in favor of it either Trump's team argued it wasn't an official treaty.

So whether it was an official agreement is somewhat unclear, but your description that it was an ad-hoc trust building exercise is not correct.

Integrity checking & lock files https://deno.land/manual@v1.9.0/linking_to_external_code/int...

The same problem (and solution: package-lock.json or yarn.lock) exists in npm if you use semver version specifiers, or npm itself could be hacked, it’s just a bit more acute in Deno since it’s easy and common to load files from arbitrary hosts that don’t enforce immutable versions.

Nice response. Part of the problem is "pull yourself up by bootstraps" PG-tier p0rn. With a king, an average person isn't being told everyday that they too can become a king, if only they worked harder. With people like startup founders, VCs, Musk, Bezos and the like, constantly writing articles on how you too can become rich like them: http://paulgraham.com/richnow.html, average people view this life as achievable and it harbors disappointment and insecurity to not achieve those levels.
I asked some of my interviewers, who had been around their companies for a while, if the interviews were as tough when they got hired, I think a few said said no it was easier, and iirc one said when they got hired they just shot the shit for a while and got hired right away, but he joined before the company was acquired by a FANG.

It's a common malady to think oneself a world-savior. "I know what the world's problems are, and how to solve them." If you realize this kind of tendency in yourself, it's important to try to conquer it, because it's been disastrous many times in the past. The Khmer Rouge thought they were going to fix the world's problems. So did Mao. They loved their own ideas about how to fix the world more than they loved the lives of their countrymen. They were so sure they were ushering in Utopia that it made perfect sense to them to order people to do things at gunpoint.

I think the core mistake is essentially hubris. Thinking highly of oneself, and having a low opinion of others. This naturally results in wanting to substitute one's own intelligence for the higher-order intelligence of all people working together. But no one, and no group, is as smart as everyone. So this kind of intelligence substitution tends to have terrible results.

Hubris can be corrected. Meditate and study other people and you'll find out that 1.) you're crazy and need to work on yourself and 2.) other people are astoundingly intelligent and talented. The natural result is humility and gratitude.

Or, hey, perhaps I'm wrong. Then I suggest you do something much more persuasive than making a web site: implement your ideas at small scale and simply document the wonderful new way of life. If it's good, people will want to take part in it. There won't be any need to persuade anyone with arguments; the results will speak for themselves.

But this kind of person never does that. If they could, they would. They can't, so they don't. Despite not being able to make it work with ten friends, they want to roll it out worldwide, and, funny thing -- it tends to require the destruction of stuff that's already working.
While drums often have stereo overheads, having a mono drum overhead is completely normal for a recording. Even on today's records. Not every recording needs a stereo drum kit. Especially if it's a big mix with lots of parts competing for space.

While drums today can often be mixed with upwards of 16 microphones, a skilled recording engineer with an excellent player (Stevie) on a well tuned-kit in a good room can capture a fantastic drum sound with a single overhead microphone and a spot mic for the kick. You'd be astounded how minimal it can be when the ingredients in the room are correct.

That said, there's a third possibility. That they tracked the drum kit with a full compliment of 8+ mics and then recorded the blend of these mics to the three channels of tape that ended up on the final 16-track reel of tape. I have a copy of these exact stems and it's very clear to my record-engineer ears that these were indeed, just one mic per tape channel. No summing was done.

Frankly, it's not even a good drum recording by the standards of that era, but Stevie's writing and performance are so brilliant that the record is great anyway.

Also, to chime-in on whether or not Tonto is featured on this track; The only possible candidate is the Moog synth bass. But the performance is no different than what you'd get with a Minimoog. So even if they performed it using one of the Moog modules on Tonto I'd say it's not a usage that highlights anything extraordinary about what Tonto was capable of.
That's not how it works. It's more like there's this shared network of participants that has strong incentives to consistently agree that you own a numeric measurement of "value" and that you have the agreed-upon ability to elect to transfer portions of this value to other participants in the network (because you _know_ a specific private key and can irrefutably demonstrate that you know it even without disclosing it).

EDIT: I get that you don't necessarily mean that it's(playing by the rules) really the case, so I apologize should that be the case. Either way I've heard that global foundries is having an intake on orders because of the situation. So you're right in your conclusion.

You mean like when the US slapped tariffs on Bombardier which were illegal but forced Bombardier[1] to sell off their assets to Airbus?

Or when they pressured Germany into lifting their patents on Anthrax treatments[2]?

Or when it signed into law the Hague invasion act should an american ever be held by the International Court of Justice[3]?

Or when they decimated HTC but granted Apple a pass?

Or when it effectively embargoed Iran and NK from the world food, medical, plane replacement part supplies?

Let's be real here. The US plays fair when it CHOOSES to. Yes, I'd rather live in the US than in China. But you need a mirror to understand why countries outside of Russia and China give them a pass. It's because geopolitically speaking the USA has always been America first at any cost. The Chinese were just smart enough to play dumb until they amassed enough power to flip the table, as opposed to some other countries who've been threatening and cursing the US and as a result have had very limited access to modern technology.

The amount of the pie you have doesn't matter. How could it?

What matters is purchasing power.
I had a laptop with a similar amd cpu and even though it was rated for the same wattage, it was a lot more inefficient. The laptop would get warm just watching youtube videos and the fans would always kick on.

In contrast to the M1 which is so efficient that Apple doesn't even put a fan in it on its lower end models, and it still barely gets warm.

Also the battery life is a lot better on the m1.
You are right, I have made a mistake there.

AMDs chip peaks at 4.4GHz vs 3.2GHz. Together they imply 30-40% better IPC. 5nm only offers 15% better performance OR 30% lower power consumption vs 7nm.

In truth though, the A14 design isn’t too much faster than A13 or even A12 despite them being 7nm. Most of its advancements were from clock ramps. I wonder if the hardware layer for x86 kept a lot of resources tied up on that instead of advancing the architecture performance more.

I see a few answers here touting the use of a fee and I couldn't help but ask for feedback on my in-production solution with a few thousand users. It uses a refundable $0.05 fee, which is refunded if a call lasts more than 25 seconds. [1]

The participants in the study didn’t self-evaluate directly, they self-ranked, against the other participants (all Cornell undergrads volunteering for extra credit).

There’s a very important difference there, because self-ranking requires knowledge of other people’s skills.

Do note that the DK paper found a positive correlation between confidence and skill. Most people here and elsewhere seem to believe the DK effect shows a negative correlation.

Also note that the skills people were self-ranking were all easy. Ability to get a joke was one of the 4 tasks. How would you rank your own ability to get a joke against those around you? The question barely makes sense.

I think it’s a big mistake to take any lesson from the DK paper other than sometimes people see what they want to.
I don’t think I’ve picked up a phone call in 2 years. Text me or email me no exceptions. So much spam I see increased on voicemails the past year. Clearly all scam.
As with most things in life, those that are at the top have little reason to switch to something new. When everyone else moves on and new talent comes up, that is when you see things change. I wouldn't be surprised though if both games and pro scenes co-exist successfully.
Is the average number of daily calls even 5? The poorest are probably not on the high end of that distribution in any case. It also doesn't need to be applied to regular mobile numbers - just VOIP numbers. At the call volumes these spammers use there is no way they are using diverted SIM/mobile numbers.

Another solution is to make the call cost $0.05 or some nominal cost unless the call duration is longer than 20 seconds. Or make calls that are unanswered cost more, etc.
How could the telcos enforce this if they can't even stop spammers from spoofing numbers?

There's no reason these parameters can't be changed on the fly with a digital instrument. They can have knobs too.

Also, many synths today will allow you to dial in a degree of noise, interference, pitch drift, or other artifacts if you want. People still inject those qualities deliberately into their recordings. Even when the original recording was crystal clear.
