He's not claiming time isn't real, which the definition of "real" is difficult and troubling to define in itself.

I think he doesn't consider time to be 4th (or part of 3+1 or \R^3 \times \R ) dimension... or in heat equation language: that the domain is a not parabolic cylinder.
>The anti-imperial, Communist-leaning, anti-war Left

If I'm interpreting correctly, either you mean the group of people who are all of those things, or anyone on the left who is one or more of those things.

If you mean the former, then you mean a very small group of people. Very small. No one is a communist these days. People who are aren't even necessarily anti-war, or anti-imperial. The group of people is so small it's not even really worth commenting on for such a macro issue

If you mean the latter, then you're lumping a very large, very diverse group of people together. So diverse that there's very little point commenting on their collective views

Exactly. I don’t understand why anyone would buy their apps. For the money you’ll get an app riddled with bugs, zero useful updates that actually fix those bugs, and near zero support from panic. It happens over and over and over again.

An outpost/local_zone still has to have a home region that serves as the primary control plane IIUC, so I don't think that would be applicable here.

(That said, I think given their experience deploying to China, meeting GDPR, etc, and their focus on whatever it takes to make money, AWS and others should have no problem figuring out a solution to local regulations if that's what it ends up coming down to. That's far more likely than enterprises deciding to restructure everything they do around Cloudflare Workers, or Cloudflare becoming a full cloud platform.)
How? There are many viable alternatives to everything Apple makes. There are plenty of non-Apple laptops, desktop computers, tablets (ok, this is more limited at least in terms of equivalent capability), phones, even the watch.

And Apple, unlike MS at the time, has not been conducting the same abusive policies that put competitors out of business, which is a large part of what raised the cost of entry.
$40000 per missile seems like a decent price to me though. Compared to the property damage it avoids it's peanuts. At this point, Israel probably produces them in bulk, which helps keep costs. AA missiles are a different story in comparison.

Looking at it from first principles:

Information given in the SCP tell us that digitally stored files are affected to. That seems to mean digitally stored text.

Text in a digital form is just a way to indirectly reference pictures to be shown on the screen or printed. Sometimes it's a straight lookup table correspondence (ASCII), sometimes more complex (Unicode); there may be noise (OOXML). I'd guess that, in context of this SCP, a PNG with letters on it would count as text too.

This suggests that the issue isn't with a representation format, but the interpretation of it - or at least in a way the representation is processed by human minds.

I put forward a hypothesis that the relevant recognition criteria is words being recognized from sensory inputs by the human brain, and backtracking to most direct source of these words. This would explain the results of both documented tests. I propose following further tests to be made:

- Repeating Test 1, but blindfolding the test subject before telling them to write words down, so that they can't see them. Expected outcome: like in Test 2.

- Repeating Test 2, but instructing the test subject to not repeat the words heard out loud. Expected outcome: like in Test 2.

- Repeating Test 2 with the test subject incapable of hearing. Expected outcome: nothing happens.

- Repeating Test 2, using a machine recording sounds and replaying them after a delay, in place of the test subject. Expected outcome: nothing happens.

- Repeating Test 1, using a computer connected to a microphone and a printer, in place of test subject; the machine would run a dictation algorithm to print the spoken words. Expected outcome: nothing happens.
It's the Chinese Mind thought experiment
It's a race to the bottom.
You're completely right in your thinking that it's largely ridiculous and avoidable. The answer is generally lack of separation of duties and least privilege. That L1 tech in a smaller organization might be a member of the domain admins group. And to avoid UAC prompts, might sign into his computer as domain admin account. If something runs as him, it runs as admin. Large file shares where every user has edit permissions are also extremely prevalent. Every user has the ability to destroy the shared drive. I've seen a lot of small organizations where the owner insisted on being an admin, despite having no technical knowledge. He clicks something wrong and the malware's got carte blanche. Old line of business applications will often require exact versions of Flash/Java/whatever which are riddled with security holes.

Outside that, there's the 0 days and exploits. But a lot of what I see are setups that grew from small, insecure setups where it didn't matter to big, insecure setups where it did. Combine that with the ROI on security not being immediately tangible, and it's hard to get approval for projects to fix it. Even if you design the most secure systems, unless you've got a seat at the executive table someone will probably overrule you and make exceptions.
There are some crazy experiments involving brain injury or brain surgery patients that lost control of their limbs temporarily, including solving problems involving physical manipulation completely outside their conscious recognition when the vocal centers of the brain are isolated.

It's almost terrifying how only a small part of the brain can vocalize, but all parts of the brain are communicating and "thinking". My takeaway is that we observe ourselves and tell stories about it, but have much less real free will than we think.
> Obviously if the platform wasn't popular then no one would care and this case never would have happened.

Which I think strikes right at the point here. This is practiced throughout the world and throughout industries, but for some reason we think it should be different for mobile phones. I don't see why it should be, especially given that in the overall market, Epic can publish their game across multiple competing platforms: Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, etc. and iOS until recently.

In fact, as you mentioned, if you don't like the Apple Store you can go to: Steam, itch.io, GOG, or host a website yourself. If I can't create an arbitrary game and have access to Epic's user base, I don't see how it's different. Can I use Epic accounts on my own indy game?

I think you are narrowly defining the marketplace as being only iOS, when in fact it's much larger, and you're not taking into account that this is all about access to users. In both of these areas, it's hard to find compelling activity for Epic. They can and do publish Fortnite on multiple platforms, and they also arbitrarily restrict access to their own user-base.

Epic just wants to have their cake and eat it too and I have yet to see compelling evidence to the contrary, myself.
We are just supposed to trust Apple. It's a big problem with the world we've created, we have these unaccountable (to the public) private entities. Their interests are not our interests. We know they share data with the US government, since the PRISM revelations. There's nothing that makes me think that has stopped.
Boycotting centralized stuff because it's more efficient isn't going to work, so if you want to avoid the Cloudflarepocalypse you need to work on making decentralized systems competitive.
I would call it technically correct but useless only because of how ill defined and exploitable national security is as a notion to bypass all objections by turning everything into an existential threat. Everything is in some degree important to national security - entertainment is a matter of national security because bored soldiers are less vigilant.
Apropos of very little, I was in Tennessee recently and at nearly every establishment, the personnel wore their facemasks around their chin, presumably to nominally satisfy some corporate mandate. I say this more as an amusing observation than an implicit judgment one way or another.

Everlasting Options (2021)
That's because it's using the same "network" to track both. It wouldn't make sense to turn one off an not the other. When your device is offline it's acting just like the AirTags and pulling info from other nearby iphones.
Yeah, but it's still a rather awesome product offering. I wish the US government would put as much effort into mass transit as they have with project Cloudflare.
I agree, it absolutely is interesting research, and I appreciate the detailed explanation that was published.

Although the proximity requirement severely limits the possible impact, it does make us think again about the security of our Wi-Fi networks, and as a result we may identify areas to improve, which is a benefit.
>That said, since there are so many vegans out there that don’t have any medical problems...

Where is the data tracking the health of these 'so many vegans'? All of my lifelong vegan friends ran the gamut of health problems from Hashimoto's Disease and other thyroid-related issues, to severe obesity, seemingly from the highly processed food-like-products they ate. Most though were chronically under-weight, and had to take several supplements. Of course, I only know 8 vegans personally and well enough to comment on.
Perhaps the key is that most people do not perceive huge benefits from these, but they perceive huge danger from the downsides. People usually both underestimate their own downstream benefits because of large inferential distance between the thing (encryption) and themselves, and overestimate the dangers of the downsides.

Then we'd have the ages-old dynamic that something that benefits everyone a bit but harms a minority a lot will be pushed out by people.
“ More technically, the impact of attacks can also be reduced by manually configuring your DNS server so that it cannot be poisoned. Specific to your Wi-Fi configuration, you can mitigate attacks (but not fully prevent them) by disabling fragmentation, disabling pairwise rekeys, and disabling dynamic fragmentation in Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) devices.”

So yes, but as you say lots of things can override your explicit DNS settings. Even browsers can do it these days.

Run WireGuard. Effectively treat WiFi as untrusted and VPN over it. Have WireGuard send over your DNS on the other side, and have that DNS use D-o-T or D-o-H depending on your threat model.

Use Ethernet on stationary devices, and WiFi on mobile devices.
> This is does not justify sacrificing everybody's financial privacy and independence.

Agree to disagree haha. Financial records are private unless revealed to authorities in a 4th-amendment compliant probable-caused based warrant. Seems like the right place to draw the line.

> The police should track the criminals via other methods.

Why? I mean it's pretty easy with basically every crypto other than Monero, and Monero is basically Narco-dollars, which are unlikely to find any acceptance.

> They shouldn't be able to surveil everybody's transactions at all times or freeze people's accounts over the slightest suspicions until they prove their innocence.

You mean... probable cause? And offer due process to resolve? Some would argue that's the foundation of the criminal justice system.

> It's better to let some criminals escape than suffer these injustices.

You're just subbing one kind of criminal for another.
Which is entirely fair, don’t you think? If you want to make use of the ability to find your phone while it’s powered off, you should help others to do the same.

Or is it the airtag functionality specifically that’s bothering you?
You can wear another mask, like a surgical mask, to cover the exhale valve.

Or tape over it (securely).
It has been great for the global poor. Terrible for the western middle class.
This is simply nonsense.

Apple asks you every, single time you upgrade your iOS/OSX device to confirm your privacy and telemetry settings.

And all of the features they implement are private by design. They use features such as differential privacy to make sure they aren't leaking private data: https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/Differential_Privacy_Over...
Would be interested in:

1. How you implemented this on the backend? Did you consider using something like Temporal, AWS Simple Workflow, or AWS Step Functions?

2. Interested in how you're avoiding (waiting) on network calls on each action. You mentioned it was coming in next post.

3. How are you managing multiple workflows? Does a common child graph make sense for a common workflow?
> As far as I could tell the world was even more globalised back then

It was not. How could it be? Cheap and fast long range transportation, the Internet, mass consumerism,interconnected financial systems...

What could possibly make you think the world was more globalised in the 1910s than 2020s?

And yes, many people said a war is impossible due to the globalisation. I guess what they missed was telling it to the people in charge ( many of whom,like the Kaiser and Tsar didn't want a war, but felt pressured and like it was inevitable).

A decade ago, I used to go to a local jazz club, ask the performers if they are ok with me recording their performance for my personal use, and if they were ok, I took out my trusty Zoom H4n, put it on a stand, and recorded away. On a good day, I could use an additional pair of Samson C1 mics as well.

The musicians I met there were a friendly bunch, and usually were totally ok, provided I sent them a copy, too.

I cherish these recordings a lot to this day. Not only because I was 10 years younger back then, although that too, but also because the performance sounded more authentic precisely because it wasn't overproduced, thoroughly compressed, denoised, and equalized to hell. There are people talking in the background, the floor boards may squeak sometimes, and it's a very immersive experience.

I like hearing the air hissing quietly into the microphones. When it's not there, the sound is uncanny. When it's there but there's a lot of editing, you can hear it change, and that's uncanny too. When it had been there and got subsequently removed, often a noticeable portion of "signal" is removed too, and the sound becomes very "artificial".

Sometimes I like a good studio recording, too. It's just that I like it for different things: mostly it's to hear what the musicians really intended to convey, provided, of course, that the album had been mastered to their preferences.

Kinda like land-transfer taxes that we have in Ontario Canada.

Except corporations and trusts don’t transfer the land from generation to generation, so it’s basically a tax on people who’s living situation changes (upsizing, downsizing, death, divorce).

So much for being a tax on speculators.
OK, gotcha. Sounds like an interesting problem.

Another area that might be worth exploring is fractal geometry. Many real world shapes (coastlines, for example) have a fractal aspect. And given that there are means for calculating the fractal complexity of a section of such a thing, you might be able to do some iterative thing where you perform such a calculation over a part of your image, then start taking edges out, and see how much that affects the calculated value. It may be that lines that were never really part of the actual real world shape have a different impact when removed, compared to lines that were part of the actual shape. Or if that not exactly, the whole world of fractals and the associated math might have something that would be useful to you.

https://users.math.yale.edu/public_html/People/frame/Fractal...

A clustering algorithm might also be useful. It may be that you can cluster the endpoint locations in such a way that the "artifact" lines will clearly fall outside the cluster, which might make it possible to spot and remove them.
>>governments will stop working

hmm... seems like all positive to me
Another scenario is putting an AirTag on the bottom of someone's car, waiting for them to go home, going to their home, and taking the AirTag off. There's more risk here, but it's impossible to do.

Or to remove the risk, you can drain the battery til it's got just enough to go a few more miles. Then, it'll keep pinging you the location and die when it gets to their house. With 3 days of leeway, you don't have to be too exact.

It's even easier if you know they aren't going to using their car at the destination. Like if they're going camping or something.
Sure it's a bit different (especially if you're concerned with how it makes you feel) than, say, describing tectonic plates or the acceleration of a falling body due to earth's gravity but that doesn't make it not a real thing.

Quantum spin is one that gets me, or the uncertainty principle. It makes me very uneasy, but whether or not I'm comfortable is irrelevant. Those are to the best of our knowledge actual features of the universe.

Abstractions aren't really in the language of the pure sciences. Analogies, metaphors, etc can all serve to help explain but the speed of the propagation of information in this universe is very much defined as the velocity of light in a vacuum in a completely literal sense. There's no abstraction here. Maybe some confusion about what we mean by 'information' but I'm sure there are better resources if you want an afternoon rabbit hole.
I'd bet that higher wages correlate with living in metro areas, which also correlates with voting for Democrats. Not too surprising.
My dad, upon bringing his crashing MacBook back into the Apple Store, was told by the Apple Store employee: "No no sir, Apples do not 'crash'."

(Turned out to be a bulging battery pressing on the wrong parts, leading to random kernel panics.)

So he moved back to Windows for all his music production work and has been satisfied with that move ever since.
I thought this was going to be about adding spatial audio processing [1] to recorded music. One of the reasons recorded music is uncanny is that the act of listening to something with stereo channels piped directly into your ears is vastly different than listening to the same music in a room as it is affected by the room's dynamics.

There is a lot of work being done in VR research labs to simulate realistic audio by using the correct transfer function when playing the audio track. If done properly, listening to prerecorded audio of a concert would be indistinguishable from a live concert. But doing it correctly requires dynamically adapting the audio stream for the user's head & ear shape and ear position with respect to the audio source.

Synthetic spatial audio that passes a Turing test has been done in the lab but we probably won't see it in consumer devices for a few more years. VR headsets and Airpods are slowly getting there, but they don't simulate the user's ears.
