Within various parts of the US executive branch, presidential executive orders that say "do X" without funding to match are also called "unfunded mandates" - at least sometimes. I certainly heard the phrase used that way. I don't know if that's an abuse of the term or not.

It is true that it's different when it's applied within the executive branch. The US executive branch has to obey the laws, but it does have some discretion on how it prioritizes the work. So, for example, it could prioritize some of these activities by de-prioritizing (and thus reducing the funds) of other activities. That's hard, because it's often harder to stop something you're already doing (there are often existing groups in place who will be unhappy if you stop it). But it's officially possible, and if it's important enough, then it can be done. The US government's executive branch bureaucracy cares very much about what the president orders, though when there's limited funding the work must be prioritized.

Some of these steps, such as creating new FAR clauses & adding them to contracts, don't require new money (though their results may impose new costs later). But it's fair to say that others will cause costs, and they'll need to go to Congress to try to get that funding.

But that's not insane. The attacks on SolarWinds and friends have been estimated to cost $100 billion in damage to the USG (that's probably too high, but it shows real harm). The latest Colonial Pipeline ransomware, which threatens the US east coast, is making the news. Congress lives on the US east coast. I can easily see that money flowing from Congress.
It's really hard to evade personal income tax, so why shouldn't the government just give up and tax corporations at 0%, while having high progressive personal income taxes?

Or, better yet, proper sliding consumption taxes. If you want a yacht or private jet, pay 150% in taxes.

Norway already taxes luxury cars at over 100% of their value.
I would want out out out of that stopped car ASAP.

It's very dangerous to be in a stopped vehicle in the middle of a road, while cars and busses whizz by!

And it really was in the "middle" pretty much the whole time, not just toward the end. Note that in the first part of the problem, at the stop sign, a vehicle passed them on the right!

The only thing good that could be said here is: "Hey, we're still better than Tesla!".
> Remove Barriers to Threat Information Sharing Between Government and the Private Sector. The Executive Order ensures that IT Service Providers are able to share information with the government and requires them to share certain breach information. IT providers are often hesitant or unable to voluntarily share information about a compromise. Sometimes this can be due to contractual obligations; in other cases, providers simply may be hesitant to share information about their own security breaches. Removing any contractual barriers and requiring providers to share breach information that could impact Government networks is necessary to enable more effective defenses of Federal departments, and to improve the Nation’s cybersecurity as a whole.

Does this mean hosting providers can violate their own privacy policies if the request is coming from US Gov?

Two years would cause most technical books to miss a market window. Other will have written on the topic, and perhaps be established as a standard by then.

It’s great that the book is improved, but that delay is a killer.
It’s actually rather difficult and costly to renounce citizenship —- you must pay for that privilege. The passport fee should be more than enough (as it is for literally every other country), especially for a passport that barely cracks the top 20 to top 10 in various indices of passport strength. We are being exploited and there’s really no good reason.

Agreed, and I see your point, I just see it as the EO doesn't have the authority to (and thus doesn't actually) require such things from private companies and not that it requires something without funding.

In terms of what should be done, I'm not sure whether companies should be expected recoup their costs by raising prices, reducing margins or expect federal funding. My gut reaction is that this level of security should be a cost of doing business and not require federal funds.
Bitcoin sinks after Elon Musk says Tesla will not accept the digital coin
> To put it another way, if the costs are identical, it's better to have 1000000 transactions than just 100 transactions; "environmental impact per transaction" (or its inverse, "transactions per unit of environmental impact") captures that perfectly.

I don't think it's possible to decouple # of transactions and the price of Bitcoin though. Every additional Bitcoin transaction proves it is a feasible means of exchange, driving the price higher.
That really says it all. However, I am also shocked at the lack of consumer protections regarding such artificially imposed slowdowns.

I am currently in the process of making a game that focuses on these ideas. It's a 2D fishing, farming, mining and philosophy game. I would like to give people the opportunity to practice a calm and peaceful state of mind by knowing that as people we can choose our thoughts and how we feel. Just as people can get stronger physically with physical exercise, I believe that people can become better at responding, by choosing how they think and feel, rather than reacting to what happens. There may be no tears or laughter in the land of Vulcan but we can certainly feel more joy by choosing how we think and feel.
It's true that having a single stack makes things more efficient, but it also makes the process less adaptive. Although Apple seems to have a policy of buying out/copying successful software and integrating them into the OS, they can't buy everything. So eventually the more open/diverse ecosystem is going to have the better value proposition - a computer is a general-purpose device, and the less it can do the less useful it is. Of course this assumes Apple never gets market dominance where it surpasses all other companies combined, but phone sales are maybe 20% of the market and the laptop sales are only 8% of the market, so this doesn't seem likely to happen.

tl;dr 80 developers working on an open stack, even with coordination friction, are going to outperform 20 developers on a closed stack.
The benefit of JWT is only if you are using it in stateless manner.

It's hard to be mad at someone once you realize you'd do the same thing if you were in their shoes.

Loopholes like this should be illegal, but their existence ~obligates executives to take advantage of them (fiduciary duty). You'd just be bad at business if you didn't.

As someone who wants to be good at business, I can't get mad at the players here – just the game.

The basic idea of the older EEG setups is you have a net of 128 or 256 electrodes on your head, and then the program signal processes all of the waves from them. Problem is your skull makes the waves bounce around, adding a lot of noise and making it hard to parse much signal from the data.

Neuralink uses an implant, inside your skull, so that this noise isn’t a problem.

Unfortunately Health doesn't yet store air quality, but I spelled out how air quality scores might be designed in the article. To the user it would be something akin to Fitness apps three rings but for different aspects of air quality: Safe, Fresh, and Comfortable. Within each would be specific air quality metrics (pm2.5, pm10, co, co2, vocs, temp/humidity, etc), which would sum up into three different scores for the three aspects. These would drive recommendations to the user.

I don't have an opinion on what protocol would work best, just that it needs to be localized pretty well to match up with the localization of air quality. My hunch is UWB is a better fit for that.
Do you have sources for those incredibly attractive statistics?
Death toll rises to 67 from Israeli attacks against Palestine
The death toll from Israeli airstrikes in Gaza climbed to 67 Thursday, including 17 children and six women, with 388 injured.

> VIAC decided to take advantage of the high share price by doing a share offering

this is actually what i'd expect a company to do, if their share price grew unexpectedly and "unreasonably". The fact that Archegos didn't anticipate this (which directly led to their demise) is a sign of incompetence imho.
Many in congress literally use shell companies to obtain payments discretely so yeah, shell company laws aren't getting passed anytime soon.
Whose courts and what legal system is appropriate? Progress on the two-state solution has been stalled for years and the PA is at best a quasi-government that is not yet able to enforce its laws or exert control across its entire territory. The PA still relies on the Israeli government to manage the West Bank and they have basically lost control of the Gaza Strip. Has there even been an effort to bring this case before a Palestinian court?

I've had my dotfiles under version control for over a decade (hg for a couple years, then git). I've never used or felt the need for any special tools, and I don't use any extra symlinking.

If you do that stuff, great, but here's what I do if you don't want to use any specialized tools:

My home directory is just a git repo. There's a regular old ~/.git directory. All of the management I do is regular git stuff, like any other repo. Everything I don't want to commit is listed in .gitignore, like any repo.

The only wrinkle is setting up a new machine. You can't clone into an existing directory (AFAIK), and your home directory already exists, so you need a workaround. An easy solution: clone the remote repo to ~/dotfiles, then `mv ~/dotfiles/.git ~`, then `rm -r ~/dotfiles`. Now your home directory is a git repo where the working copy is exactly as the home directory was before, and HEAD points to your repo's default branch. It will be dirty because all of your config files are missing. Use regular `git status` to take a look. It's always looked fine to me, so I `git checkout .`, which effectively installs the dotfiles. Then I'm done until I need to do that copy trick again when I buy my next computer. In the meantime I just commit and push as normal, and occasionally add a new file to .gitignore.

It's the same as any asset or revenue stream. They have to report their overall GAAP bottom line only at the end of a quarter but even then don't need to legally report the specifics.

Usually it's reported for shareholder interest and to attract investors. They can also hide it among other business divisions if they want to, risking investor backlash. Like how Microsoft used to show Azure revenue.

Wealth is competitive. Over time, having a higher rate of return than someone else results in substantial differences in overall wealth. Everyone in his position being on the same playing field and chipping in equally is not the same as him martyring himself and letting more selfish peers acquire more resources and sway.

At 24.6%, the US had an effective average corporate tax rate somewhat in the middle of the pack in 2019. In 2017, at 37.5%, it was the second highest in the world, so which year you look at is very important.

It's also important to realize that a large portion (~10%) of individual income taxes are actually from pass-through business income.

It should be noted that Vice's journalists are all unionized, and derive extra-contractual privileges, and a competitive advantage over competing workers, as a result of the anti-free market laws that beknight unions.

https://variety.com/2017/digital/news/vice-media-unionizatio...

As an example of the kinds of conflicts of interest that exist when media outlets write about unions: Vox writers, who eventually unionized, spent years publishing articles arguing for laws limiting the gig economy, like this one:

"The gig economy has grown big, fast — and that’s a problem for workers" [1]

Three years after the above article was published, its agenda succeeded, and a new anti-gig-economy law was passed in California. That law in turn forced Vox to let go of hundreds of gig economy freelancers, thus reducing competition to the full-time journalists who used their media platform to lobby for the law:

"Vox Media to cut hundreds of freelance jobs ahead of changes in California gig economy laws" [2]

The media being fully unionized means that it is extremely biased in its coverage of these kinds of stories.

Just in case you aren't catching on here, cryptocurrencies are not the future. They are just digital tulips - beautiful to look at and comprehend, but separate from any meaningful contribution to the economic system. You can still get rich from them by hyping and selling them before people catch on more broadly.

Civilization works because of laws that are interpreted by courts and norms which are broadly accepted but not often checked/enforced. Crypto is trying to create a "trustless" future where you do not need society to coordinate and regulate. Our modern financial system needs that squishiness/trust which you get from the legal system to operate at full capacity.

Picture the suspension of a car. In our modern financial world, the legal system and regulatory institutions serve as the shocks and struts of your car. It allows you to drive fast while not having to worry about every imperfection on the road. Cryptocurency is like driving a car where your wheels are attached directly to the axel - yes it's perfectly efficient and there's nothing between you and the road, but that also means you have to be exceptionally careful where you are driving, and you can't do it fast.

There's a reason all cars come with suspensions.

Honest question:

When you have an agenda that wants to spend an additional $6tillion do you really care that much about tax revenues? (On top of the $5 trillion from the past year) At that point does it really matter how much you collect? You’ve clearly given up all semblance of trying to balance a budget.

At this point we’re pretty deep in the new-age progressive economic policy ideology, where taxes aren’t about building up gov coffers but rather taking money out of the economy, so does it really matter how the money is taken out? Why are you so concerned with taxing corporations when it’s much easier to tax people?
> More than anything, the terminology is an unhelpful distraction from the more important things around when it comes up. I wish they stuck with "Judenhass".

We can certainly agree on that point. If nothing else, it makes much clearer the implications of characterizing Israeli–Palestinian enmity as a matter of Jew-hatred: no less than the invocation of Godwin's law as a thought-terminating cliche.
Your history book assertion seems similar to an assertion regarding "Magic". That being it is simply "hidden work".

Stage magicians can spend years conceiving, preparing and rehearsing a "trick". But on stage, when the audience experiences the illusion ... it is magic.

Similar to some workplaces stuff. There can be many man hours of time spent propping up repositories, testing, debugging, logging etc etc capabilities in general.

And when the shit hits the fan and the capability solves the problem ... magic.

Then the audience says "Thanks for solving the problem 10x Dev."

An Android App That Deletes All Your Phone's Data When Police Try to Crack It
I don't know if you remember back when service providers would put customers' entire dataset on a single set of spinning platters. The drive would of course die and the customer would get super pissed off when the provider would say "You were supposed to keep a backup..." So now providers like GitHub and GitLab are basically super-redundant storage, network, and application providers, who also happen to run Git.

If you store 50GB in AWS S3 (US-East-2), download 1000GB, do 100 PUT operations and 1000 GET operations, the cost is $89.68 per month.

Considering that GitHub isn't just providing you with storage, but a complete Git LFS solution plus storage, plus traffic that you can just use and not think about, I think it's worth the expense. But then again I probably wouldn't store binary blobs in Git.

Yes it's being going up overall (a lot), but even if you just look at a chart of the last 12 months, it hasn't dipped more now than it did a few times last year - I can see why some people think it's going to keep going up for a long time, and others the opposite, but I can't see why anyone would think "great it's always going up" until now and be scared by a relatively minor dip down here.
