The only time in which you would need blockchain over a centralized DB is when everyone needs access to the DB, but no one trusts each other. Like if you needed to store healthcare information for multiple people which theoretically could be accessed by multiple competing hospitals or something. It's a lot of overhead to legitimize not just using a centralized DB for most applications.

Most current signs point to the hypothesis that humans are now and have been for thousands of years driving a major extinction event. Even disregarding the impacts of climate change, humans are far from reaching the crest of their impact on the biosphere. With climate change accounted for, the impact of our actions today will be compounded into the future.

Life, if it survives us will likely be pushed through another very narrow gap as it has at least 5 other times in the past. In the very very long run, life may be able to rediversify but, even if we significantly decrease our impact through extreme modification of our behavior or through incredible leaps in technology, we have already been a calamity for life on this planet.

The biosphere would take tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to recover.

I mean, yes, that's definitely the case, isn't it? Punching below your weight is seen as unethical, right? The power dynamic is an important aspect of deciding the ethics of actions.
If your normal infra is 80,000 servers which you own, then running costs are quite low. But during the migration, you are renting in 80,000 servers from AWS too, so the two systems can run in parallel, which have a far higher running cost. As soon as the migration is over, workloads can return to cheap owned hardware.

I haven't seen all of The Wire, but as to the character cited as an example, Wikipedia says, "[Maury] is corrupt and unscrupulous, willing to aid his clients in furtherance of their criminal activity." So he crosses your line, and I think that's what the GP post meant.

Unless they found a pushover country and structured as much data to be sent there in the app. Have them get the warrant and review the data and inform you of anything good.

Arbitrage isn’t just for bankers.
C++98 is less fun to code in than C++11, which is less fun than C++20.

But with modern-style library support, C++98 can be quite safe and usable, at least single-threaded. But some things are unavoidably verbose. The only serious functional lack is moves, but that is a performance optimization. C++98 code can be upgraded to current whenever the perceived need to hang back dissipates.

That said, implementing another compiler just for the sake of bootstrapping convenience would be powerfully silly: if you code a new Rust compiler, it should be the very best Rust compiler you can write, and better on at least some axes than the flagship one.

Coding it in C++17 or 20 would be just good sense: Religion notwithstanding, C++ is a mature and powerful language well suited to the task.

One real peculiarity of churn around bootstrapping is that, given good support for cross compilation, you hardly ever need to bootstrap at all. So if that is a thing that worries you, work supporting cross-compiling is your most productive course.

Never thought to test a massive string of byte order marks... Extensive testing always misses something.

Testing on real user data could have been done but has privacy issues (now we can't inspect logs to check stuff is working), but even so, the user could have put the offending data in after the testing was done.
> Your hardware has backdoors, so does your OS, and encryption clients

None of these were exploited to retrieve this data, and the third party app that was installed was not intended to encrypt conversations given that it was a honeypot.

This was a small app unknown by anyone outside of criminal orgs. It had no "legitimate" non-criminal users.

The app was deployed in Australia.

Why distribute a random app when they could have gotten the criminals to use Signal or Telegram and bust them there?

This was not a secure app and any audit would have revealed this (audits such as the ones that Signal and friends have undergone).

Tor was not involved.

None of the apps hyped as "unbreakable" were broken here, so...point still stands, I guess?

Honestly, if anything, the recommended approach from this incident would be to use the walled garden - an FBI-backed honeypot would have a lot harder time getting from the App/Play Store onto a user's phone if it was obviously a scam to collect user conversations, asked for a bunch of permissions, had no reviews, and no apparent update history. Who would download some random chat app that nobody uses?

Gaming of tax systems by large capital players is a big challenge. I have wondered whether bogus assessments could be mitigated through some kind of open market price discovery with unlevered, unencumbered cash with full party disclosure.

Make residential, owner-occupied homes and special categories (like public transit-related or infrastructure-related improvements like healthcare/power/water/waste/telecomms/etc. property) exempt. All other property post their assessments at tax jurisdiction's office. Anyone, at any time, can post to that office cash that is 10% more than the assessment upon the property. If the owner does not challenge the cash assessment, they must accept the cash offer within 180 days or are evicted. The catch is, that cash must be absolutely unlevered and unencumbered, the property is carried on everyone's books as a cash asset of the prospective new owner, and the property cannot be pledged as collateral, for the next 21 years (with an upward adjustment for deep-pocketed backers of offers) or until the property is sold, whichever comes first. The offering party must provide full disclosure and auditability of the source of the cash and the "Source Of Truth" controlling interest, no shell games. The legal jurisdiction enforces this transactional structure by refusing all cases entangling the property.

The owner can respond to the price discovery cash offer by paying the tax jurisdiction the "back taxes" implied by the cash offer, back to the last time the property transacted on the open market. No penalty. If the owner can deliver proof that the offering party hid their ties to deeper (ultimate beneficial controlling interest) funding sources, then the entire offer is forfeit to the owner.

This creates an incentive to discover badly out-of-alignment prices, but the intention is to gate out anyone playing financialization games or asymmetrically deep pockets parking cash badly distorting a small player-dominated market's historic valuations.

Like many web frameworks and libraries, the front page did not make it clear to me what the heck a Fizzgum is or why I should care. The tag line, "The power of an entire Operating System at your fingertips," told me basically nothing.

On the other hand, the "Is Fizzygum for me" page in the docs was wonderful! Good job to whoever wrote it. While not really discussing what Fizzygum is, it nonetheless gave a series of really good examples and guidelines as to whether I should bother investigating further for my use case. So many tools and libraries promise to be all things to all people and shy away from pointing out what they're NOT good for, and so I really appreciate that page. Good job.
When faced with an irrational actor making legal threats the rational choice might well be to back down even if you're 100% in the right but your loss from backing down is minor, so it tells us nothing.
Not to be rude, I'm sure this is an amazing project by brilliant people, but for some reason something about this branding and marketing really struck me as almost satirical on a subconscious level. Unfortunately I can't give an exact reason why. Maybe it made me think of Fizzbuzz, plus the animated plots seem a bit over the top?

Anyhow you did a solid job explaining exactly what this really is in the landing page, so kudos to that

Well the criminal organizations can offer a whole range of addictive non-monetary incentives that a computer expert may desire, so I'd guess that's the main path in.

There's more unemployed tech people out there than many here realize though. People that don't present well in interviews, people that didn't stay employ-ably current in tech, hardware guys replaced by the cloud, people in less hot locations for tech, etc. Criminal organizations are much less picky and judgmental than your average tech startup and in some cases may be the only one's willing to give them a chance.
Or it speaks to Repl.it's CEO's lack of understanding of the technical differences. I wouldn't assume anything about the viability based on this reaction.
Well, yes, because googlebot is the gatekeeper of popularity and income for websites. Got to appease the decision maker.
>Technical people are expensive (and hard to fire if they don't work out), which really raises the bar for minimum qualifications and skills. There's no room to "take a chance" on anyone anymore.

I've never been hired for a permanent job that didn't have a 6 month probationary period, so I really don't see why "hard to fire", even in Europe where it really is hard to fire, is still an excuse companies use.

Surprise telemetry is deeply unethical. Putting it in the README is borderline OK, I guess. However, even supposing it's OK, a "single ping on use" is only really feasible if the system has "main()" and some reasonably persistent usage. If you're a small tool - or a library, like we were, "single ping on use" might result in thousands of systems "beaconing" back to home base per hour.

For the area we were in (pattern matching is basically computer security-adjacent), this would have been equivalent to shipping malware in terms of sheer career-destroying potential.

goodness, it wasn't disrespect. I actually thought the code was incorrect.

I'm also not questioning something I know is right.

Mostly, I just let them code. When they're done, I always say ... are you satisfied? some go back and check, others stand pat, but this lets them take a fresh look.

I then have the opportunity to question something I think in my heart is wrong. I the example, he was right and I was wrong.

For things that look ok, I sometimes start a discussion about embellishments they could add or other techniques.

I really try not to be that guy. I just want to get to know them.

> Again the root cause isn’t the profit motive, that’s just a side effect.

That's just utterly naive or politically biased. The profit motive is what causes those regulations in the first place! It has always been like that, especially in the states.

Don't try and create some sort of a fairy tale place where the profit motive won't try to rig regulations in their favor, they will always try to, this is what the incentive to make more and more profit creates.
This is true for every other domain. When every company calls itself a AI company these days. Therefore value of AI/ML and credibility gets diluted.

It becomes very difficult to classify real orgs using hardcode stats from fake ones. When I hear "we are solving x with AI" or "AI driven", it gives me jitters.
Start your own sub in competition with the original.
I am a big fan of removable batteries but even I can see the huge advantage of USB-C Powerbanks. An additional ThinkPad battery can cost ~$100 iirc. And this battery will only ever work with this specific laptop model.

A powerbank for the same price will probably have a higher capacity, and be able to charge any USB-C device.

All this is not a reason for integrated batteries, but Powerbanks using a universal interface are clearly more practical.
If you're considering using a static site generator for creating something like a personal blog, I suggest trying to create one yourself. The more hacky you do it, the better. It's a lot of fun.

Well even if they was "demanding" behaviour (whatever that even means), there would be no real way for the outside to check if it was true, without relying on the statements of persons involved.

This is why such a statement should have been avoided altogether, especially if the other side seemes to be cooperating.
They should feel threatened. There's nothing particularly special or novel about what Repl.it is doing, also very little in the way of specialised knowledge required to build a competitor (note that I'm not trying to belittle the individual involved here). That they got $20 million to pursue this product in some ways surprises me given the relatively low barrier to entry.
The downvotes will be because the article is about SEO and your comment (while factually OK on Churchill and WW2) is wildly off-topic and ends with a call to action against "cultural Marxism". That last bit is controversial not because people disagree with you, but because it looks like flamebait.
This is great info but I would add that when you talk about the unemployed left out in the cold, you also need to consider the self-employed. Having insurance tied to discrete employer risk pools makes insurance on the private market very expensive for all of those who cannot get subsidies (ACA/Medicaid). It really discourages people from taking the risks to start new ventures. When I started my business I went years without medical coverage.
> anyone find it funny that each criminal group could have been better off relying on a "kid who knows computers" level of expertise and bog standard devices running open source software which at least wouldn't be trivially systematically turned against them all at once quite so easily

Tradeoffs. Traditional tradecraft would inhibit such discovery methods. But it's slow and expensive. Your competitors would outmaneuver you in the short term.

To enable the "kid who knows computers," you also need to train your people in opsec and digital sanitation. That might similarly be expensive and growth inhibiting enough to invite more daring competition.
But isn’t it cathartic when you tell those people to fuck off?

What I don't understand is why does Google continue to use metrics that are so easy to fake and game.

Surely some kind of fairly trivial NN/Not very deep learning system can classify HTML content so that out of context links (like "Learn how to solve a Rubic Cube" in a Seventh Day Adventists sabbath lesson) and content that is copied is ignored or marked down.

Whilst I'm sure GPT-3 could be used to create more realistic looking fake content - this would eliminate 99% of the script kiddies creating low value SEO spamming sites.
If you're not already operating under the assumption that TLAs have full access to your entire online history, there's really no point in trying to start now. Use secure apps like Signal to hide your information from hackers, thieves, and generic script kiddies, not to hide from national security agencies. Especially when said agency can send a van to your house to take all your digital equipment (fully legally if backed by a warrant) until you comply and give up all your passwords and encryption keys.

You cannot defeat the legal system through technical means, your only hope is having some kind of escape submarine or private jet to get yourself extracted to a non-extradition country like Russia (or, if you're Snowden, trolling journalists with your flight so all the goons get on the wrong plane).

But that's not what actually happened when the banks automated. If what you are saying is true, then there should be a fairly large set of educated but unemployed people. There isn't. Unemployment rates are about the same now as they were then.

Which is astonishing because we've also added women to the workforce since then.

It looks like if there are too many people, more jobs get created. Presumably this is why average salaries have stagnated since 1970 - there are more jobs because employees are cheaper.

Both the number of cups of coffee you get out of 200g of Nescafe and the number of washes you get out of 1 kg of washing powder will vary (depending on how you strong you like your Nescafe and how dirty your clothes are). The same is true for deodorant or shower gel. I think weight/volume measurements are fine for almost everything.

Packages for things like dishwasher tabs usually have a number on them (in addition to weight/volume, which is mandated to be on the packaging).
This is a great visualization. I remember playing with generating VGA through bit-banging an Arduino - it was my course project for a class in the first year of my PhD. I sadly never wrote up a detailed explanation of it, but a picture of the setup survives as my Twitter header: https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_banners/20347234/1463010760/15...

The pixel clock (640x480 at 60fps) is supposed to be ~25 MHz, while the little Arduino Nano only runs at 16 MHz, so the implementation cheats a bit and gets the timings somewhat wrong (plus, it smears the pixels a bit, but I hid this by having relatively blocky graphics). Some TVs I tested with didn't like this signal much, but luckily the projector that I did the final demo on didn't mind the spec violation. For the actual demo I had a simplistic version of Tetris running (with sound!); all the computation happened during hblank and vblank because the main picture time was just a handwritten assembly loop shoving pixels out.
