That distinction might be more subtle than you think. Just picking on your example first: The math describing that cosmological horizon is actually the same as the one describing the black hole horizon (including things like Hawking radiation). The question of what that photon does is pretty much equivalent to the question about a photon falling in a black hole. That question probably matters to a grand unified theory (and has an explicit answer in it), but at the level of sophistication of current physics, the question is mostly moot.

But notice that this particular question is something we can at least contemplate mattering. While on the other hand, we hardly can even make up an imaginary setting in which the speed of the "teleportation" matters. It is more of a sign that the mathematical treatment we are using is unnecessarily obtuse, because in a "good and proper" mathematical theory describing the effect, such "nonsensical" questions would not be able to appear.

Of course, it might turn out that the question matters in some extension of quantum mechanics that leads to a grand unified theory, but that would be a surprisingly boring outcome. It is more probable that it does not matter and we need to find a language which explicitly shows it does not matter.

Speed of Light does a pretty good job of creating a natural bubble. An advanced galactic society may have the knowledge and tech to detect patterns in solar systems that may produce life in the future and predict which star systems may have life.

Is humanity even generating enough radio signals that may be even remotely possible to detect on Alpha Centauri (4.367 light years away)?
From my reading of probably unreliable/fake sources, a "hit" on a normal civilian typically ranges from $10-50k. Cost increases with difficulty of accessing target, risk of detection and making it look accidental.

A hitman may wish to delay use of payment for opsec reasons, but I think it's odd to think their desire for speculative risk would be much different than the general public.
Often many companies and organizations from many countries are getting informed about such security problems under the embargo. I assume that the intelligence agencies form many countries are also getting these information. Either they are officially informed, because they also protect the government networks or they have just good working relationships with their local companies.

I assume Microsoft would inform the NSA about such things, Huawei would inform the Chinese intelligence agencies and Siemens would inform the German BND.

Review from the Lulu page:

This book is nothing like anything you've ever read before. The author himself doesn't read at all, so the book basically reinvents the concept of the book, built on a background of video games and a serious obsession with numbers. If you are a very 'literate' reader and unable to read anything without seeing it against the conventions of a thousand years of literary tradition, you'll have trouble enjoying this book. If you can keep a very open mind, you'll get a rare glimpse to a world seen by a mind that doesn't work like most of ours. I would like to call this a gem of outsider literature, but the term suffers from association with lunacy and incompetence. Nick Smith is neither. He is very conscious of the peculiar workings of his mind, and follows confidently the path laid out by those peculiarities, and the result is something wonderful. Highly recommended!

Exposing vulnerabilities: How hackers could target your medical devices (2018)
The universal limit that results from relativity (c) is the speed of massless particles. The photon is believed to be massless; if it is, its speed must be exactly c. All experiments do far have shown the photon to have 0 mass. However, if it turned out it had some very small but non-0 mass, that wouldn't directly contradict any fundamental theory (though it may have more complex indirect implications on the Standard Model etc).
It is the moderation part I al concerned with. Facebook is incentivized to create UX that draws your attention back to the content. The algorithms doesn’t care which content, just that you keep going with it. That kind of vapid interaction is not engaging meaningfully or socially with other people ... instead, it turns people into social media zombies.

The old school online forums were not designed to create such attention. Posts are made asynchronously. Absolute instead of relative timestamps are used.

There are purpose-designed social media software with UX designed to bring people to consensus rather than dissension. They have been used in highly contentious political debates and bring about policy consensus. But you cannot monetize that.

I don't think that's privacy fatalism? Did you know that Reddit's entire graph has been cached on some dudes servers and up until fairly recently allowed search by username? That includes deleted posts and edits.

Reddit is not unique. People do this with Twitter too. I forget the name but there's an entire service for caching changes to your Twitter bio.

> No, it isn't, if a service is properly secured and does not sell it's data then there is no reason to think this

Citation needed. Reddit and Twitter aren't selling data to those people. It's an open API.
> Cryptocurrencies are almost entirely used for illicit activity and investment frauds

This made clear that this guy has __no knowledge__ about cryptocurrencies. The article is just bogus.
That's not how the world works my friend.
I like it because it provides explicitness and readability. There is no guessing or following a flow chart of implicit type conversions to see what's going on.
If they're on Find My Friends, they had to consent to that proactively. The dog's AirTag is less accurate or constant than what they're providing already.
The author has multiple articles calling for an outright blanket ban on all cryptocurrencies. So in the author's own words, he is calling for a ban on all cryptocurrency.
What Can We Learn from the Colonial Pipeline Ransomware Attack?
Almost the entire comments mix "crypto" with Bitcoin or "all cryptos are the same" which is factually false. Please explain how different it is in comparison, the thread is flooded with baseless claims. This is analogous to placing your money under the bed vs. in a bank vault, they're both unsafe technically, but the difference is vast.
For something more real-time, I really like the Whistle that our dog uses. It's a GPS-tracker that uses a cellular connection. You do pay a monthly fee (so more expensive for sure than an AirTag), but if the dog is running in a field you can find it. It also lives on the collar and includes an activity monitor, which has been helpful to know in the past that previous dog walkers didn't really do much with the dog.
It's an appeal to authoritarianism. The author wants "someone" with power to tell everyone what they're allowed, and not allowed to do.
"
The free flow of money from US banks to cryptocurrency exchanges is the root cause and needs to halt.
"
Direct quote. Author is in London, but believes that #TeamAmericaWorldPoliece needs to step in because the only viable on/off ramp to cryptocurrencies is the US Bank System.

The article has the veneer of being well thought out, however if you look at their other writing & twitter there's definitely a I think I'm smart & didn't invent/make money/gain referential power from crypto so it's a scam & they now have ego tied up in being right/seeing the state clamp down on it.
This sounds great, as long as all the organizations putting money in get commensurate equity in return.

If not, that's going to be a hard pass from me.
lol thanks for the body builders link
It's not privacy fatalism. I'm referring to the public internet, which is now mined and stored as input for AIs, if nothing else.

We can only speculate that data breaches will be used for such purposes eventually too.

The best you can get is E2EE communications. I find it ironic someone commenting on a text based public forum would argue this.

What's sad is, the current duopoly actually has a nice division of labor. Google tossing any brain drippings of some random web dev into Chrome to experiment with, Apple plays the conservative role examining what is going on and waiting for things to go through a committee. The only place this breaks down is where the Google missionaries go around and lambast Apple for not rushing out to implement every half-assed feature that ships in Chrome.
Semiotics for Beginners (2014)
What Is the OSI Model?
So I am an evil stalker, and I want to find out where my target lives. I know the Target has a Spouse. I stalk both, and spot that Target uses an iPhone, but Spouse uses an Android phone. I attach the AirTag to Spouse's bag/jacket, in hopes they'll bring it home. With luck, from the POV of Target's phone, the tag will look like it just "showed up one day", at least for a while. End of story.

As a real me, I'd hope that one could bring the tag to the police, and law enforcement would be able to get the details on the person who owns it? Assuming the answer is "yes", this should deter most malicious use, as even with a burner iPhone/Apple account, the owner of that tracker would be exposing a big trail of their activities.
You know. I looked it up, and it seems that there was a plan by Trump to list the Mexican cartels as terrorist orgs, but it never went through. Now Biden is being asked to do the same.

No, these are reasonable questions, they just miss the fact that Apple ships JavaScriptCore with a JIT. By not allowing JITs in third party apps Apple claims they are the only ones who can write a secure JIT (obviously false) and that their platform sandbox is too weak to stand up to arbitrary code execution. Plus, it’s not like normal code doesn’t have buffer overflows or other security issues. As for the tuning on the VM: perhaps in isolation. But again, the high performance JIT exists; it’s just not available to anyone else.

Because even though I'm a programmer, I don't want to have to think about every device that I own. Apple's locked down control of the device has a very clear and very real value proposition, even for developers. What's missing is not Apple opening up, but a lack of more customizable phone hardware that is more like a true Linux machine.

> This implies that brown skin is an indicator of diversity. To use your method of reductio: ...only if you think that diversity is determined by superficial attributes like skin color.

I started my comment by mentioning skin tone. It's you and the comments I quoted who decided to label this "diversity" with scare quotes, and now you're arguing about the definition of a term you brought into the argument.

> I don't, and you chose the value-laden term "abnormal" instead of "demographically atypical".

That's not a counterargument, you're just nitpicking word choice here. Regardless of what you call it the skin tone distribution matches that of the people who make these graphics. It's also not far off from the national average.

According to Wikipedia 60% of the US Population is non-hispanic white[0]. I imagine the number of Hispanic and Asian people with light skin is around the same as white people with darker skin so this is a good proxy for skin color distribution. If I count one of the first Google Image results for "corporate memphis" about 54/71 = 76% of them have light skin and look white to me. So no, it's only statistically abnormal in that there are probably not enough cartoon brown people.

> In my opinion, the convenience of auto-dereferencing "as much as possible" to make method call syntax magically work through the indirection of references is not worth the lack of stability guarantees that it causes.

Auto-deref is just one way of many that the dot operator can resolve to an unintended method. This problem would still exist even if auto-deref were removed. What you're really objecting to is the existence of the dot operator at all. I think the dot operator pulls its weight, given how often it's used: I encourage you to check out Simon Peyton-Jones' thoughts on "the power of the dot" [1].

Good article, I feel people don't spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff.

The gap here for me is that AWS, GCP, and the like are perfectly equipped to build infra "from the edge in" as well. It's just not an advantage for Cloudflare -- I'd actually argue that AWS has the comparative advantage in building "from the edge in" given the clip at which they can turn out datacenters.

With the new Outpost model as well, I don't see too many hurdles for AWS to just start deploying their whole feature set in any old colo, in any old country, in a matter of months. They do have to set their minds to it though. At the very least, they should definitely have their storage services in every country with actual data locality laws.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but on the infra side I don't see what Cloudflare is better at in this regard. I'd also argue that AWS storage migration is just as good or better than Cloudflare's offering here. I won't comment on how users perceive/value each service because I don't use either much.

What I definitely DO agree with, is that infra "from the edge in" is a major threat to existing public cloud business models. At the point where you have your whole stack portable from colo to colo (or, gasp, as a dAPP), it starts to sound more like public cloud as a library, rather than as a centralized managed service.

Open source communities, unbundlers, and new-age cloud companies together will have a field day building 'library' versions of common cloud services and I think Cloudflare will pair nicely at that point. The question is when that becomes a reality.
TMSC would be the one of companies building / operating fabs. You can argue it's against Taiwan interests, but again they gonna have more leverage if they own US fabs.
In other words, there is auto-ref in addition to auto-deref, and auto-ref causes the same issues of possibly-surprising method resolution. As I mention above, auto-deref is just one way that methods could resolve to the "wrong" implementation, and there would be no solution that I can see other than to remove dot entirely, which isn't viable.

Theo de Raadt did the right thing for KRACK. Shame it would be his only chance to do so before getting kicked out of Mathy Vanhoef's secret club.
> I mean yes in our world, but also no, the bottleneck if the universe is literally the speed of photons.

Not literally, no. The bottleneck is the speed of things with 0 mass, of which the photon is just one example (as far as we know).

I also think it's very likely that, had there been another force that was ubiquitous but carried by a particle that traveled at 200 km/h, that would be easier to detect than photons or happened to have other favorable properties, we could have easily evolved to detect that instead.
I'm hesitant to ask because of the implication, but also slightly afraid of not know about these threat vectors.

So what methods are you talking about?
Thanks, not to worried about the downvotes for factually true statements. There are plenty of people on HN who downvote statements that don't comport with their imaginary view of the world.

PWC's summary on Swiss tax system includes 2 of the cantonal tax systems: https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/switzerland/individual/taxes-on...

India does not have state income taxes, but they had wide variation with respect to state indirect taxes (which was eliminated in 2017 and replaced with a standardized federally-run GST), and the states are still free to impose more than a dozen other taxes, including land-use taxes, including a number of taxes not levied anywhere else in the world, such as agricultural estate taxes.

Canada's provinces have their own property tax and income tax rates (for example, compare Alberta, Sasketchewan, Quebec, and British Columbia rates), and generally also set their own PST rates (provincial sales tax, when combined with federal GST it is referred to as HST).
