Having recently coded 2 demos on the Apple2 [*], I can assure you that the "modulosih-lookup-table2" is a nightmare to work with. Plenty of unwanted color artifact + the modulo and table lookup cost a hell of a lot of CPU cycles (the Apple has no dedicated graphics chip)...

TLDR at the bottom.

It seems the answer is Brian Warner's magic-wormhole. You're gonna see lots of file transfer sites with wormhole in their name, but if you want security you should use the original one, which is BW's m-w.

It is implemented in Python [1], so it's hard to install.

So someone made a Go version of it [2] that has binaries for windows, Mac, Linux, BSD etc. But it's command line so maybe not suitable for lay people.

So another person made a GUI for it that also has binaries for all OS [3].

Also there is an android app [4]. Someone needs to implement an iOS one.

Bringing a civil suit against Amazon will cost you several multiples of $7k in legal fees.
One thing is that we can only move forward in time. I have always heard the second law of thermodynamics (entropy always increases) defines the "arrow of time": you cannot go back to a previous ordered state unless you add work, thus you are forced to march forward in time.
There's an amazing French TV show called "The Returned" loosely inspired from an alpine lake with a submerged town underneath.

(Don't watch the American remake, watch the french one with subtitles)

The pitch being: people thought to be long dead start re-appearing. A twin sister thought to be dead comes back, except her sister had the time to be a teenager by now, so one looks the same as when she "died" and the other carried on living her life. How do you re-instate someone in a society when they've been declared dead? What will the neighbours think?

She's scared, hungry, and never sleeps.

Then more people re-appear.
Electronics is certainly more of an issue - Nobody is shipping empty boxes of toilet paper.

The main issues you get are when returns are put back into stock but haven’t been sufficiently checked.

I used to work for an online retailer who sold things like games consoles and the amount of return scams we got was absolutely shocking. If you sold a games console with a free game (usually a code inside the console) people would take the game code out, or copy it, and then return the console and have the game. Other times they would take an iPad out, put a brick in the box and then shrink wrap it. Or buy counterfeit AirPod pro’s and swap them for the real ones and return the fakes.

The problem is compounded because people want to buy “new” items with shrink wrap around them, so it’s harder to check returns aren’t scams when the scammers have shrink-wrap machines.

BT, one of the largest broadband suppliers in the UK has had a feature similar to this for many years.

By default, a home BT router makes a second Wi-fi network available as a hotspot which any BT customer can log in to.

Means that there are maybe 5 million hotspots available to you as a BT customer.

Nice tutorial. One small tip for the website maker. in the header you have the home button as <a href="index.html">Legion CPU</a> instead of <a href="/index.html">Legion CPU</a> so it gives a 404 because its appending it to the url.

From one perspective, all my side-gigs are for equity: I own them 100%, and I get no salary.

But assuming you mean would I work on someone else's side-gig for a slice of equity ... maybe?

A lot would depend on the situation, but I can see that if it was a project I was interested in, and someone else was working on it in their spare time, I could maybe be persuaded to join in for a decent slice of resulting entity.

I guess it's pretty unlikely that the right circumstances would arise, but it's definitely possible I'd consider it.

Interesting, but this seems to contradict(?) the fact that there are 4+ spatial dimensions.

This reminds me of passage in a book or movie (can't remember which one) which talked about the idea of human beings in 4D as worms, with the tail of the worm being the baby, and the face being our current state. As we go through life we keep elongating the work and overlap ourselves in space.
> Maybe we should call it Turing Machine Science

Nope. Turing machines are arbitrary and rather unmathematical. The lambda calculus is a much better computational formalism, more mathematically grounded and oriented, with far more direct practical applications.
The problem with this is it's only as secure as the password, and most people choose weak passwords.

Well, some common sense is needed. Anything at too-good-to-be-true prices are nearly always a scam, for example.

I buy about everything from Amazon, since the beginning, and have had nearly zero issues. A screw-up now and then is forgivable.
I would anti-recommend running your own business to people with little direction and/or mental health problems. The stability of a regular job is incredibly valuable to someone like this.
Yep, this would also be useful for devs who only care about money, so that they can reach out to the more promising companies of these and see whether they can monetize their extensions as well.

Personally, I feel like that'd be a clear drawback to naming and shaming, even if I also support disclosure in general.

This is straight from the school of Peter Naur.

He called it datalogy, the science of the nature and the use of data.

See Peter Naur: “The Science of Datalogy”, Communications of the ACM, July 1966.

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/365719.366510

Incidentally, he became the first professor of datalogy in Denmark at the University of Copenhagen, founding DIKU, the Institute of Datalogy.
Of course no country of the size of the US has a single experience of anything. But in this case, it's about as close as it can be: 98.4% of births are in hospitals, with 0.52% in birthing centres [1].

Indeed, I don't disagree with OP. I just felt compelled to point major problems with Dijkstra's argument, because it's somewhat generally known yet its very real shortcomings aren't as widely known.

The general response seems to be that "yeah, ideally we should be more mathematically rigorous with programs if we have time and mathematical expertise", but few have sufficient exposure to formal methods to understand that it's far from the panacea the memo makes it out to be and there are more reasons not to do it than just time and expertise.

Is the phrase "audit" a specific Americanism, or is it more widely used? I've never encountered it (beyond the context of American colleges referring to sitting in on lectures in the US system of building credits yourself towards a major) - in other countries with different (perhaps more regimented) university education, I've never encountered the phrase. And personally I haven't encountered the concept either really.

I'm wondering if the phrase itself is also designed to be understood by the fewest number of people possible, in addition to being hidden?

I have an awful problem with iMessage, that also speaks IMHO about the lack of care behind it. I upgraded an iPad Mini 1st. Gen (iOS 9.3.6) to an iPad Mini 5st. Gen (iOS at the time of exit I think), restoring from a backup.

iMessage never worked since the upgrade. I can only send messages, I see them once, but once I close the app and open it again, I don't see anything else. There's absolutely no way to reset the db of an Apple-included app unless I do a full format of the device, which after my full custom-configuration, I don't want to do. It sucks.

Me too but reviews on Amazon are starting to get very untrustworthy. Not because of fake reviews, but because of products that unexpectedly come with a "Give us a review and we'll refund £5!" card in the box.

The latest one I got specifically stated they didn't need a positive review (presumably to get around Amazon's rules?) but it's still a bribe even if it is via an implicit debt.

It boils down to economics and custom.

A few years ago, travelling in the US we, a group of European exchange students) I remember well how we were after lunch or dinner almost thrown out of restaurants by servers (i.e. brought the bill without having asked for it, etc.). I remember it so well because it really felt rude to me (we were not really hanging around unduly and might at times have ordered a round of deserts with a small break after the meal which the business then lost but that is another story).

Of course from a business perspective its better to get 3 parties to have lunch on a table than 2, and esp. in the US with the enormous tips (and lowered minimum wage) for servers, there are strong incentives for that kind of behaviour. Ultimately landlords/markets also factor this in when setting rent prices for restaurant spaces.

So to come back to the Kaffeehause-style establishments I always wonder how they were economically viable back then. Probably a combination of cheap labor, people spending quite a lot potentially in the Kaffeehaus [studying math, I guess they just rented a room (potentially not even heated) and not an apartment, then socialised outside or in cafes].

I think to pull off a Kaffeehaus for hanging out today it would probably work out more in a 'Club' model where you pay a membership fee which allows for stable operation.
I am okay with the balance it offers me about usability and privacy. For anything else, I use Threema.
This this a clear cut case and amazon should process the refund, however, in general refunding is a hard problem for Amazon to solve due to the sheer volume fraud that occurs.

For anyone unaware, go to telegram and do a public search for 'refunding'. There are hundreds of channels where you can pay someone to refund >£10,000 of stuff for you for a 10% fee. Afaik, the main method that 'refunders' use to defraud amazon is to (1) initiate a return (2) modify the return label so UPS accepts it into their system but (3) deliver it to the wrong address. So it looks to amazon as being successfully delivered to the return warehouse, but what actually got delivered was a brick, to some random house.

I wouldn't be surprised if >1% of macbook and iPhone refunds are fraudulent in this way. Someone in a cybercrime lab they should write a paper about this whole ecosystem because it is a huge black market.

People gravitate to the area of highest value. On an information aggregator of sufficient size, with a healthy community, the comments on the aggregator are often of much higher value than the article itself. They are, in effect, a competing article, and one that often wins that competition.

Yes, company has fiduciary duty towards its shareholders. That term applies to any situation where there is trust involved, not only brokers. Though it's mostly applied to financial advisors and fund managers.
I think it was a year or two ago? It was a pretty big deal and in the news for a while.

I get a combination now of Amazon's own service or one of the big third-parties. All of them are great I think. I might prefer Amazon's since they're willing to just leave the package in front of your door.
At the bottom of that article: “[Dick wrote that he was] approached in 1972 by a representative of a neo-Nazi organisation who pressured Dick into placing coded messages involving ‘politics, illegal weapons, etc’ into his future novels. He linked this organisation to a series of robberies which happened at his home in California”. Wow.

If you like, we can generalize and call it "computation science" to avoid the focus on the tool/machine in favor of the process.
Is there specific value in the talks being slide-less?

I see that written reports are much better at conveying in depth information than talks, but if there is a talk and a written report - say a conference paper and associated talk - I judge them as two very distinct things.

The paper may be great, but the talk terrible (or the other way around). But the paper will also take me several times the investment to read than listening to the talk.
Maybe the reason for this is more consumer friendly laws? In the EU you can return any* online/telephone ordered purchase within 14 days (among other laws).

In my opinion, this thread illustrates insecurity over naming that people within this profession exhibit regularly.

The analogies that this argument hinges on are often brought up in a dogmatic manner with historic terms jeered in euphoric tone.

I despise litigation but perhaps that's the best solution to solving this - especially when it also involves lies and blackmail. Maybe people will think twice if there are very real consequences involved.
"We use the digits 0 to 9 to represent 10 unique values, which not uncoincidentally matches the number of fingers on our hands."

I disagree with this statement, humans use fingers on one hand to represent 0-5 (6 distinct values) and fingers on two hands to represent 0-10 (11 distinct values)

Ok, but is there anything that connects it to the word synthesia beyond a connection to the word synthesis? Synthesia means something more specific.

I used to think this but having reread some of the novels recently I tend to disagree. The command of the material and plotting in the likes of ‘... electric sheep’ and ‘ubik’ is streets ahead of his early work and the coherence of the various ideas at play improves massively — the early novels feel like either distended short stories or fixups of multiple different plots. he’s not a fabulous prose stylists but neither is he as bad as his reputation suggests, he’s not a hack and there are some luminous passages in there if you’re looking out for them.

I think he also suffers from being a funny writer, funny writers from PG Wodhouse to Terry Pratchett are often underrated and for me that’s where Dick’s later work really falls down.

Post his breakdown his novels take a much darker edge (i found Valis in particular unbearably bleak), the humour is largely gone and more fundamentally the layered realities now have a single source of truth which in my opinion weakens them considerably compared to the open ended questioning of the mid period.

not a linear improvement perhaps but there’s growth and change in his output over time
Instead of self censoring and deleting our past, we should solve the problem on the recipient's side, and harden ourselves against this kind of attack.

When someone is booted out of office for the wrong reasons (even though it is "the right person", i.e. someone who's views I don't agree with) I speak out against it. If I was a politician, I would pledge before elections to never step down due to anything that happend in my past; if I had a company I would consider adding something into contracts that we cannot fire people due to past controversial statements.

I think we have a unified legal system for a reason, and would prefer if everything prohibited is handled there, after which you are considered innocent again. I don't like cases where someone is legally innocent but yeah he's an asshole and we don't give him a job anymore. You could argue different people have different standards, and it is a free market and people are allowed to choose who they work with and who they deplatform - but in practice, at least in the entertainment industry, the standards are rather monolithic. Companies don't want to offend anyone, and also don't want to get trouble with payment providers, so you get certain behavior. Don't kid yourself, the liberal Twitter bubble doesn't have the kind of power to "cancel" people on their own - big corporations and media companies decide what get's picked up, what get's scandalized, and what is acceptable. And I'd really rather have this decided democratically by some kind of parliament or council than by some companies.
Why would you think that? I believe I’ve read that even Church himself said that Turing machines are a more elegant basis for computations, since they are much easier to mathematically reason about. I’m sure one can prove everything proved for Turing machines for lambda calculus, but I disagree with your statement that it is more mathematically grounded. It may be true in a syntactic form, but definitely not in a mathematical structure one.
> Always keep in mind that everyone will price-match Amazon.

The other side of that coin is that Amazon used to have relatively low prices. Not anymore.
