Sometimes I feel like a lot of managers don't live in reality. Sure, psychological safety as a concept is nice to talk about, but how can an employee be totally psychologically safe in an employer-employee relationship?

How many line engineers at Google let alone a random tech company can question a VP/director's pet project? Heck, how many middle managers can? Psychological safety should mean you should be able to call BS and be okay with others calling your BS (in a non-inflammatory way), but in reality it means stroking others' egos, especially of those in leadership.

> How do you see a system that automatically distributes royalties to authors without having to go through Disney as being worse for the authors or better for Disney?

Phrased like that, sure, it sounds great — but that's because it's begging the question of how you'd dictate terms to Disney.

Once you start thinking about how that'd work in the real-world, it's obvious why it won't: no buyer needs a particular DAO and major sellers have no advantage to offering their content on a new system unless it delivers tangible benefits for them. That lack of demand and ease of replacement prevents DAOs from getting enough marketshare to be influential and, if it did, you'd either see them switch to a different platform. Think about what happened with Netflix, which had far more loyal users and much greater marketshare, and ask what reason you have to think this would be different.

The fundamental problem is that this is not a technology problem. These are large companies with a massive revenue stream to protect and strong consumer demand. Optional systems which are struggling even to be cost-effective, much less compelling, are not going to disrupt that power imbalance.
Sporadic, restricted use of amphetamine tends to retain full effect over the long-term. With regular use, the subtle change in perception it causes tends to persist longer than the physical stimulation. The appetite issue can sometimes be addressed simply by actively choosing to eat more.

I do think that, in the long run, it at best averages out between the unavoidable highs and lows. Some people benefit from being able to time when those periods happen. Probably net loss in many cases. Still, the behaviour you're describing represents the end stages of escalating use and loss of control where they have fallen into dependency and/or addiction. That's not inevitable. Some people do seem to be able to self-regulate their use of strong stimulants.

But you're right. It's clear some people are just innately more driven. In the worst case they're like Elon Musk, always flitting around, perpetually alternating between chipper and enraged, and always with coffee in hand and at most four hours of sleep the night before. I find such people infuriating, but that is probably just envy.

It seems to me that the low-hanging fruit is to sequester the sawdust and scraps that result from sawing logs into boards. I assume that much of that ordinarily finds its way into other products (paper, particle board, etc...), but that it's economically less valuable than usable boards and thus burying it the ground has lower cost.

There does seem to be increasing interest though in making large structures out of wood, so maybe that's a pretty good route for carbon storage.

So for that mechanism to work, the ground level in old growth forests would slowly rise over the centuries, and more and more soil with some carbon content accumulates.

There's certainly a sociology aspect to the whole thing, but the hypothetical second paper is just as much social-exploit-vector vulnerability research as the first one. The only change being the state of the actor involved.

The existing paper researched the feasibility of unknown actors to introduce vulnerable code. The hypothetical second paper has the same basis, but is from the vantage point of a known bad actor.

Reading through the mailing list (as best I can), the maintainer's response to the latest buggy patches seemed pretty civil[1] in general, and even more so considering the prior behavior. And the submitter's response to that (quoted here[2]) went to the extreme end of defensiveness. Instead of addressing or acknowledging anything in the maintainer's message, the submitter:

- Rejected the concerns of the maintainer as "wild accusations bordering on slander"

- Stating their naivety of the kernel code, establishing themselves as a newbie

- Called out the unfriendliness of the maintainers to newbies and non-expects

- Accused the maintainer of having preconceived biases

An empathetic reading of their response is that they really are a newbie trying to be helpful and got defensive after feeling attacked. But a cynical reading of their response is that they're attempting to exploiting high-visibility social issues to pressure or coerce the maintainers into accepting patches from a known bad actor.

The cynical interpretation is as much social-exploit-vector vulnerability research as what they did before. Considering how they deflected on the maintainer's concerns stemming from their prior behavior and immediately pulled a whole bunch of hot-button social issues into the conversation at the same time, the cynical interpretation seems at least plausible.

Well, I’d be extremely surprised if Revolut kept all that juicy data for themselves. The net privacy benefit of their disposable cards is most likely negative over using a more privacy-respecting single card bank.

I had the same dirty feeling whenever I paid with my Revolut cards as I do when someone I legit want to connect with adds me on Facebook.

My largest concern about Coinbase was if they would be able to build a moat fast enough. I thought there would be dozens of competitors. Perhaps looking back it was harder to build and scale than it first appeared? Existing financial institutions who could have pulled it off were too slow to see crypto's potential.

Yeah, for one thing, to be a good analogy, rather than lockpicking without entering when he’s not home and leaving a note, you’d need to be an actual service worker for a trusted home service business and use that trust to enter when he is home, conduct sabotage, and not say anything until the sabotage is detected and traced back to you and cited in his cancelling the contract with the firm for which you work, and then cite the “research” rationale.

Of course, if you did that you would be both unemployed and facing criminal charges in short order.

Based on imtringued's use of the term, "true price" would mean the price (of an asset) that leaves no room for profiting from speculation. If there's no participant in the market left that anticipates the price of the asset to go up (correcting for inflation) in the relevant time frame (and also no participant that anticipates the price to fall), then the current price might be called the "true price" for the relevant time frame.

> Engineers only want to have constructive arguments with each other if they feel committed to the project and happy about their place in the organization

This is not true. I don't need to be happy to want constructive arguments. In fact, the more unhappy I am, the more I need that constructive argument about what is bothering me - to deal with situation that makes me unhappy.

Whether I go into it depends a lot on whether I think/feel it is safe for me to open argument or join it. If I think I will be punished for saying stuff, I don't say that stuff, because I am not dumb.

And I can also be unsafe psychologically and subjectively happy. I can have interesting tasks, fun, I won't be expressing my opinions and there will be risk unsolvable situation will arise. But until then, I will be happy.

Please don't attack fellow users and please omit swipes like "What are you talking about" from your comments here. If another comment is wrong, it suffices to reply with accurate information. Actually it's much more credible that way. If you toss in gratuitous swipes, you discredit the accurate information you're (by hypothesis) adding, which is bad for the truth.

This whole argument is totally bogus. If I'm running a simulation, the whole "clock speed" argument only applies if I'm trying to run the simulation in real time.

Second, the speed of light doesn't manifest itself the way a clock rate limit would. You'd see it as a minimum value of the time difference between two events, not as a maximum propagation speed. (I mean, I suppose you could assume separate hardware for each physical point, and get to a maximum propagation speed that way. It's hard to see how you would get the rest of special relativity, though, so... this "explanation" doesn't explain nearly enough.)

Oh. It says "Opinion" right at the top. So what's really confirmed is that somebody who believes that we live in a simulation talked Scientific American into publishing (as an opinion piece) something that they wrote. Nothing more.

That would be considering they can say virtually anything and pretend when criticized that it was just a miscommunication problem because they don't speak English well enough. Which depending on the consequences, can not necessarily absolve from responsibility even if it would give elements for excuses -- well at least for the first time, certainly not if they continue their bullshit after it!

If they have a problem in mastering English, they can take lessons, and make native speaker review their communication in the meantime.

The benefit of the doubt can not stick for ever on people caught red-handed. It can be restored of course, but they are now in a position where they drastically shifted the perception by their own actions, and thus can't really complain of the results of their own doings. Yes, they can not make mistakes anymore, and everything they did in the past will be reviewed harshly, not for further condemning them without reasons, but just to be sure they did not actually break things while practicing their malicious activities.

I'm usually of the same mind, but this is one scenario where individual action actually can help. For example, driving less won't significantly affect climate change even if most people do it, since the biggest contributors are industrial processes.

On the other hand, nearly all of the animal cruelty from factory farms stems from people buying meat from them. So if most people eat less meat, then factory farms actually will suffer.

No idea where that is so can't comment on it.

However, I do know that some of these sites that report propery taxes do have incorrect information.

In my neighborhood (where I bought before it was built and have lived there ever since and know well who has lived for how long in each house) I see most houses on my street reported with their correct property tax but there are a few outliers which are completely wrong. Those show a property tax far lower than it ever was.

If someone were to take a screenshot of the property tax reported for my street, they'd think there is a 100x difference between the lowest and the highest for similar homes. But those lowest numbers are not true.

The real spread is more like 2.5x from lowest to highest. Which is not nothing, obviously, but way closer than it would seem.

What precisely is the mechanism by which you think a blockchain would change that? Blockchains are easily censored — trivially so in the case of digital media since the blockchains are too inefficient to host it directly.

The more fundamental problem is adoption: you're talking about things which most people have convenient access to, so there's very limited demand for new distribution systems and that means that anything which doesn't give the rights-holder the ability to yank content will largely be ignored. The number of people who are going to tell their kids they're not watching a Disney movie until it's available on a blockchain is a tiny rounding error of the number of people you'd need to make those blockchains viable.
Could you elaborate - what is about the Intel design that makes the decode so inefficient? Is "2b" bits here?

This is insulting. The whole premise behind the paper is that open source developers aren't able to parse comits for malicious code. From a security standpoint, sure, I'm sure a bad actor could attempt to do this. But the fact that he tried this on the linux kernel, an almost sacred piece of software IMO, and expected it to work takes me aback. This guy either has a huge ego or knows very little about those devs.

For IRB human research means humans as subject in the research study. The subject of the study is the kernel patch review process. Yes, the review process does involve humans, but the humans (reviewers) are not the research subject. Not defending the study in anyway.

I think regardless of the circuit split on the meaning of "authorization", it seems fairly well settled that the meaning is not "what the computer system allows you to do".

e.g. Van Buren is about resolving the question of whether someone who is given access to a computer system for their job can be considered to have used it in an "unauthorized" way if they use that system in ways that are unrelated to that job.

The circuit-level decisions both start from the position "authorized" means something like "the owner of the computer has decided to grant access", which is more rather than less.

i.e. X intended to give Y access (this is the part of "authorized" on which there is consensus) but Y used it for purposes that X did not approve of (this is the subject matter of the disagreement)
