Their terms are awful.[1] They can do whatever they want.

Compare the terms from Bank of America, especially the "Withdrawal" section.[2] There are restrictions on how soon you can withdraw how much, and they tell you those up front. You can get at least $225 the day after a deposit. For new customers within 30 days of opening the account, withdrawals over $5,525 may be required to wait up to 5 days. For large cash withdrawals, you may need to go to a "cash vault" center and provide you own armored car. Stuff like that.

I mean not to be a conspiracy theorist, but I am pretty convinced they and other gov orgs (US, UK) are probably doing it already if I had to guess.

This makes the stuff they find legally useable for evidence I guess.
I get it, but it also means values will appear to be correct, instead of obviously wrong, if the data is cast without concern for the value range. Then one day someone enters a value and exceeds that range and BOOM

I think that people are more quick to react against Chime than they are the folks who also hold their insurance, mortgages, and possibly other things. Lest they have even more issues with the bank. I don't doubt Chime handles things wrong, but I do know that every person on that team when I was there did there best to try and resolve the issue.
I have a feeling it's going to have C-like syntax and frankly I hope so because using an `end` keyword instead of braces makes no sense to me.
Yeah, but how sustainable is the EU really, in the long term? I’m still convinced it will either dissolve or devolve into a rump organization within my lifetime.
You think Europe will allow end-to-end for much longer?
> But to oversimplify, under the Mirror Protocol, the idea is to keep prices of the synthetic -- or “mirrored” -- equities in the ballpark of the real thing by offering incentives for traders to arbitrage price discrepancies and manage the actual supply of tokens. Users can create, or “mint,” new tokens when prices are too high by posting collateral, and destroy, or “burn,” tokens when prices are too low, driving the price up or down.

This seems pretty similar to the authorized participant model used successfully with ETFs, so not sure if it's actually an issue.
Can you expand on what do you mean by "just popped open the kernel"? I'm genuinely interested in this kind of "tribal knowledge" you talk about. Maybe there is something we (those reading this thread) could learn and make use of.

The limitation is more practical than theoretical or philosophical.

What does that mean to you?

Disembodied computers don’t get the experiences required to gain that intelligence, and even if they could go along for the ride, in a helmet cam, they wouldn't experience the tingling in their heart, lungs and genitals that provide the signals for learning.

Yeah for some reason this explanation which should be simple just blows my mind. I’m probably too experienced in imperative languages. It took me a long time to grok plain old monads. And when you get those GHC compiler errors from heavily stacked up types I find it very hard to work out what went wrong. For practical purposes I prefer OO even though it might be more limited in some regards.
GoldenEar has a very nice passive soundbar that I recommend if you don't have the room or a high WAF criteria for separates. Pair it with some solid in ceiling speakers and you'd be surprised how well it performs.
The good thing about this is that within a decade there will be no more corruption, no more forced prostitution, no more corporate abuse. It will be utopia.
>How do you reconcile expecting the rewards of other people's labor if you wouldn't be willing to do the same labor yourself?

I pay them directly for their labor, as simple as that. I guess I'm not sure what the confusion is. Everyone wants the best job they can get given their skills and luck. Nobody is going to be shoveling asphalt in the sun for fun if their part time astrophysicist gig covers their expenses.
First, your statement that he "cares so much about the bias he can't be bothered to find it" is objectively false. He found two examples in the summary, which is what 80% of people will read, and will anchor interpretation for all readers. Bias in the summary is much more significant than bias in the main article, even if it returned to even-handed interpretation later.

Also to your point: "This is largely how people operate today, they start with what they want to believe then they go looking for it."

If he went looking for it, he certainly found it very easily. I would agree with you if he had found the bias in niche topics and in later sections of articles much less likely to be read. But when the articles with the most traffic and most contributors demonstrate bias, its clear there is a problem.

People like this should be using credit unions, not banks.

Credit Unions where created to service customers that would not profitable for a normal bank, many decades ago I was one of those customers... Still today, even though my financial situation is far better, refuse to put any of my money in bank after the treatment I received from them. I have been with my current credit union for 20+ years, I love them, every loan I have gotten from auto to mortgage in the last 15 years is also run through a credit union...

Credit Unions is where it is at, people need to be educated to use them
True, and I included 'arguably'. There isn't a consensus on this and I admit my perspective only casual.

I know of a few people that live in dugouts in west texas.

One of them has had the property in their family for generations. They say that it stays relatively cool during the summertime and warm in the winter.
That is one of the many reasons I oppose mass immigration; a constant influx of new people makes it far, far more difficult for a single locality to figure out how best to reduce its own demand and come to a reasonably stable local identity, with an attached reasonable level of demand for goods and services.
That was because some RSA tokens had identical seeds, it was only affecting some of the older time based tokens.
The backups aren't. Same with iMessage. end-to-end has become a marketing buzzword, any large scale deployment gets backdoored (via either key or plaintext escrow) at the endpoints, to FISA/PRISM providers who have to turn it over to the state without a warrant.

China has the same setup with providers in their country.

WhatsApp and iMessage simply aren't private when the providers get ~100% of the plaintext transiting the service within 24 hours (immediately in the case of iMessage, as thanks to "Messages in iCloud" (cross-device sync) being on by default, the MIC sync key is escrowed to Apple in a non-e2e backup, permitting them to decrypt the sync traffic in realtime).

Truly private, easily accessible, society-wide private communications are a threat to sovereignty, and governments know this, which is why even europe (leading the way on individual privacy and rights on this planet, in general) is reluctant to permit it. Same goes for truly censorship-resistant, easily accessible payment systems. They allow you to coordinate (private/uncensorable messaging) and pay for (uncensorable payments) an army outside of state prerogatives, in theory.
>Previously secure end-to-end encrypted messenger services such as Whatsapp or Signal would be forced to install a backdoor.

Isn’t Signal FOSS? I don’t know how they’d police that when everyone can just fork it and remove the back door. Also don’t VPNs circumvent this legislation as well? How will they police self-hosted email servers?

I know the response to these questions is usually “You’re right, this is what happens when the techno-illiterate write laws” but I genuinely can’t think of how I would go about doing this if I was the one who wanted a back door.

Something that doesn't store the chats in a decryptable form on their servers is probably preferrable. So Telegram out and Signal, Threema or WhatsApp in.
Well, I'm assuming that's one of the things that total pervasive surveillance and control of communication is meant to address.

I argued this constantly, I was in charge of mobile and it made me furious when bad CSR resulted in our actually pretty great mobile apps getting bad reviews. I am also guilty of creating the chat bot that is used by Chime, though I created it for a very different purpose from how it is used today and management basically mutilated something that actually worked pretty great.

Brave New World was not written initially as a dystopia. Huxley was a member of the elite and was writing what amounted to a pamphlet of where we were all going, influenced along the way by the writings of Carroll (Tragedy & Hope), who told the tale of the elite cabal of banksters and other social engineers and how their various iterations formed and dispersed, their history, in sum.

Huxley's editor said it'd never sell, so he added the plotline from the perspective of one man who wanted to break free and made the entire thing dystopic.

I believe the signs are all there that many of the real Team Elite really do want Brave New World-esque domination, with a tiny group of truly free elite managing the masses as though they were cattle.

Ugh. Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere (there's a couple of things like this lately, that I remember being discussed a lot on HN and being covered in the news, and now have disappeared in the ocean of the internet).

However, these discuss or demonstrate very similar things (especially the first two):

It's weird to me I can't find it because it was picked up in some large news and economics outlets. Basically, there was an agent-based simulation with really simple conditions that showed that even when everyone starts out with the same income, and you have some really simple exchanges of income that are essentially random, you end up with income distributions that look really similar to actual income distributions in the US.

I think the Scientific American piece discusses some of the same phenomena, and a similar simulation is discussed in the Medium piece. The paper that was going around was very simple in its assumptions, though, and very clearly written.
Flora, fauna and the whole ecology have adapted over tens of thousands of years to the current environment we're in. Sudden massive changes is more likely to lead to mass extinction, adaption due in thousands of years for entirely new species. To massively try to force adaption, will lead to lots of instability and even worse damage than letting nature take its course over a longer timespan.

I'm not sure the dish can continue to work if it doesn't have a real GPS lock. That said, this is a mechanism that they found on the dish side in the firmware - firmware that is unencrypted stored on that flash chip - so you can obviously manipulate the firmware side to ignore the debug fuse stuff.
>I can’t help but feel that society has lost a critical social regulatory mechanism, in the form of being able to physically beat up people who repeatedly exhibit scummy behavior.

Yes, beating up the low level, minimum wage employee who has zero power over your circumstances is definitely the right way to resolve disputes with a corporation.

Eliminating pain != eliminating stress

Though more broadly your point is likely correct that it will change some people's behaviour to do dangerous/stupid things because there's no negative feedback.
Yup, that makes sense.

Really I find the whole topic just infuriating… so much of the bullshit we've been dealing with since the nineties, from browser incompatibilities to javascript stagnancy to CSS layout (grid, flexbox) has gotten immeasurably better over the years. I never would have imagined that we'd still be stuck with JPG/PNG forever, though. (I hope that WebP is the savior but people still seem to be waffling on it.)
The problem with email is that it’s federated; any email is as secure as the least secure mail server it’s being sent from or two. Even if you use something super duper secure in a polity that respects privacy, it does you no good if you send an email to Gmail who immediately hands it over to one or more government bodies.
Cause many non-technical people have no useful skills. There's really only two things to solve, technical and sales. I can handle the technical.

Ideas are cheap and most suck (that is, not innovative enough to really be something special). I want someone highly skilled at the process of taking something small and good, getting people to invest, and making it bigger. I can build <whatever startup> faster and cheaper and more solid than you could ever imagine, but don't have any desire in schmoozing or learning the VC game.
Obviously troll comment from a throwaway account with negative karma. I don't know if i should even bother replying.
Totally agree.

I do find this illuminating, though, because if someone fundamentally believes problems are caused by a lack of resources - or more specifically a lack of access to resources - then it makes perfect sense to them to think post-scarcity will be a paradise. They're looking at the problems in a fundamentally different way than you or I are.
I apologize for the short comment.

I do believe this to be the only humane and effective resolution.

Modern computers and networks are impossible to fully secure against hacking, just like it is nearly impossible to fully secure a building. The solution is deterrence, not trying to move computers and buildings into Fort Knox.

A few strong examples of what happens to criminals will prevent endless more attacks.
Fine, but it is completely false that C++ offers nothing useful for kernel coding. You can see, for example, SerenityOS kernel making good use of modern features.

Any feature useful for coding libraries is equally useful for kernel coding, because the overwhelming majority of kernel code is identical to what goes in libraries, and much of it is, explicitly, library code.
Imagine if you could turn down pain like hitting the snooze button on an alarm. "Yes, I know my bone has been broken and I'm working on addressing it, please snooze all pain signals from that area for an hour."

Crypto is just about worthless without personal computing.
If you want your email reliably encrypted, encrypt it yourself. GPG works the same regardless of the provider.
Maybe. In practice though being difficult-to-clone is already rarely a moat for software startups; even if it's true, usually a sufficiently funded competitor can at least fake having working technology for long enough to steal market share.

I'd bet money that the bigger factor here is going to be the fact that there are a lot of "big if true" ideas, where the current difficulty of implementing them prevents them from getting implemented, because it's hard to go out and raise money for something when no one has strong conviction that it's possible to build or that there will be market demand. But once they get sufficiently easy to build, then suddenly it becomes rational to go out and try them.

Whereas currently, I have lots of ideas that would yield fuck you money if they worked, but it's too disruptive to have to clear my calendar for six months to go out and execute on any one of them.
That can't happen with open-source, whether it's "free" or not.

Having designed one I can tell you it's not that hard.

Thinking from first principles helps. First, simplify the problem domain. The challenges are generally oddball shapes (think: heavy golf club), heavy items, speed, spatial efficiency, specialist handling requirements, environment, reliability, mobility and cost. If you have unlimited patience (retries allowed, no hard speed requirement) and less limited space (more power, better viewing angles, opportunity for stereoscopic vision), roughly similar form factor SKUs (=CPG), a purpose-built environment and no special handling requirements (nuclear waste/fresh food/fast-melting ice cream), no mobility requirement or cost sensitivity, then it's much easier.

Second, simplify handling by batching items in standard containers. What these system vendors never show you is how much they overcharge you for plastic boxes and how much energy is wasted loading, unloading and cleaning them.

Third, a grid-based system is clearly the most spatially efficient, so design around that.

In these systems the true spatial efficiency for most items is probably poor as Dematic Autostore for instance only offer 3 bin sizes. The true spatio-temporal efficiency is probably middling except when considered in parallel for huge order throughput requirements and a large number of SKUs because an untrained primate can pick faster than a bot for arbitrary items in most cases. Capex is very high, so these systems only make sense if you have a guaranteed large-SKU picking problem that won't go away, and you don't care about owning the knowledge to implement it cost-efficiently (eg. you are a manager looking out for #1 instead of the company's long term bottom line).

These things are terrible for the world, however, as they basically enable the accelerated consumption of single use plastics which is the CPG industry as a whole. I predict that in progressive countries such systems will be taxed or outlawed within our lifetimes, probably first in Europe, probably first in Holland as they are so good with agriculture and logistics.
Sure, but to do this would require firmware support (due to the timing requirements) in the satellites themselves, I believe. I doubt that's happening right now.

Just reading the thread now, and the silent downvoters might be objecting to the "eventually" part. "Find the busy beaver program for a 20 state Turing machine" is easy to specify, but could take quadrillions of years to return a result.
Do they? I mean, even if that's how someone talks to their friends, from some faceless company's mass communication it's at best inauthentic and try-hard.
> It seems biased to assume apocalyptism.

You might be right. And that is the whole point; how do we make sure we are not making proportionality errors in either direction? What is the objective measure? What is the criteria to use to find out if and in which direction we are making such an error?

> It is perfectly possible to predict mass negative outcomes in a cool headed and honest way. Like predicting massive overspends on a major construction project.

I don't think you're necessarily wrong, but also can't ignore that the non-linearity and complexity of climate science is an unknown quantity more than that of a construction project. The reliability of predictions will have different upper bounds, and our conveyed sense of confidence should reflect that, not the romantically moving horribleness of the worst case scenario we can think of.
> Isn’t Signal FOSS? I don’t know how they’d police that when everyone can just fork it and remove the back door.

If the goal is large scale surveillance, it can be combatted fairly effectively as has been shown with e.g. kino.to and other streaming sites which have gone practivally extinct. The same would happen to websites hosting illegal apps.

If the goal is to go after real criminals this is of course useless. But EncroChat [1] has shown that at least large parts of the criminal world don't seem to have great operation security practices.
