Swatting is used to mean calling the authorities with a fake crisis so subject people at the address targeted to risk and inconvenience it has nothing to do with the resulting police response.

If Barney Fife showed up to kindly ask you if you were ok you would have been swatted just not very effectively.

This Martin Thompson talk is excellent. I've found time-stamping and handling GTD (good 'till date/time) orders consistently across nodes to be one of the most challenging bits of building an exchange infrastructure.
Either way, you've got to do the tooling work to make your chosen approach work. There's no free lunch here.
Ok.

But, we’re talking home servers and for _most_ people that’s a file server, or something heavy with I/O and SATA is still I/O.

Most (if not all) SATA controllers interface to the CPU with PCIe (lspci will show you a SATA controller on the PCI bus)
You tell the tax office of any unusual deductibles, and they give your employers a 'tax code' which tells them how much allowance to give you (but critically not why, to better protect your privacy).

Even this isn't needed in most cases; things are either done employer side (paid from pre-tax income, like pensions) or directly by the government (basic rate tax is semi-automatically added to charitable donations, so only higher rate taxpayers need to declare it, and they all fill in a short return anyway).
The more impressive part is working with such a tiny screen I think. That takes some real perseverance.
tax evasion: Simplicity the tax system instead. Investigate ways to make it rewarding to pay tax through incentives.

money laundering: focus on catching the actual criminals and stopping real crime instead.

political fixing: privacy tech actually helps here. (Eg Secret ballot)

terrorism financing: terrorists don't need much money. Just a deranged mind, a hand gun or even a sharp sushi chef knife and a social media account are enough.
It seems to me, that this thing combines disadvantages both from car and a bicycle.

What if a kid is taken hostage and manages to call the police? Should we ignore the call because it could be a swatting prank?
Thanks!

So am I correctly understanding this as:

Using identityHashCode() does not prevent locks from working, it merely prevents the performance optimization of biased locking (which Java 15 disables by default anyway)?
Do I understand correctly that charities report contributions to the government, which then adjusts the taxes due from the donors? That seems like a good system.
Theory is all very well, but adding a library to a project is a critical requirement for all projects. A new starter comes over to Clojure from Python and the Deps guide [0] confidently explains too them that they add

{:deps
{clojure.java-time/clojure.java-time {:mvn/version "0.3.2"}}}

to their deps.edn and they're good to go. Raising only the questions of:

1. What are the available keys of this map?

2. Why do I have to repeat clojure.java-time twice? Is this arbitrary? When are these different? (turns out it depends, if anyone is trying to figure that out)

3. What is a ":mvn"?

4. Is there a list of libraries I should be consulting to work out what versions mvn supports?

5. Is mvn my only choice here? Are there other repositories?

6. The map is one of Clojure's most flexible data structures because it can take arbitrary keys. Circling back to 1 - What other keys are supported?

Answering 1/6 is particularly interesting because the Deps reference [1] is long, undecipherable and frankly not-very-well written reference material. It starts off as more of a tutorial than a reference and requires the reader to engage with how Clojure programs run rather than how to download a library.

Someone coming over from Python would look at this, recall "pip install library" and then a lot of them would do the sensible thing and give up. Potentially never realising that the correct thing to do is go with leiningen. I'm not even sure if pip has command line flags, I've basically never been exposed to them.

Simple is all very good, I'm sure the people who struggle through to figure out how deps actually works are the better for it, but it would be better if adding a library were easy as well as simple.

Overloading tends to be different because the first argument gets massively higher priority in determining the effective method.

The main promise of Julia’s multiple dispatch is that it allows the obvious code to do the right thing and dispatch to fast specialised methods for a large variety of types, which tends to make programs more composable.

Another way to look at it is that the language is designed to be able to express a full numeric tower, i.e. different int and float types, complex and arbitrary precision numbers, suitable upcasting when types don’t match. One desirable property is that a + b should generally end up calling the same function as b + a. Try to think about how you would do this with Java-style overloading, even if the overloading was more dynamic and looked at the runtime type and all methods up the class’ ancestors. And how would you extend this to add a new numeric type (say dual numbers.) IIRC, the Julia strategy mostly uses some type-level programming to figure out a suitable shared type for a and b (which basically only runs at JIT-compilation-time), then coerces them both to that type, then adds them.

Scheme and Common Lisp manage to pricide quite big complicated numeric towers but they are basically entirely impossible to extend with custom types.

This is how it is today, but imagine you need to do pre-boarding to trains by TSA one hour in advance, increased density for seating so that premium-economy can be sold at a higher margin, baggage limitations and payment per kilogram, restrictions to wear a belt at all times (no moving around allowed).

These restrictions were added to flying one by one, boiling the frog. It can and it may be implemented for trains also.
Of course. I was thinking man in the middle, but it is not needed here.

Edit:thinking about it, without man in the middle the phisher can login, but cannot make transfers (assuming the SMS shows what transfer is beiing authorized). Still bad enough.

You undermine yourself with statements like this. I explicitly asked for excruciating detail. This response essentially sums up to "because I said so".

No need to change the protocol. It can be done by making unaccounted-for keys unusable, if the regulated industry coordinates. For instance:

- the regulated crypto industry can form a mining cartel that only approves tx between whitelisted addresses and orphans any attempt at doing otherwise (a 51% attack), to save their investment in the "number go up" game.

- the regulated industry can at transaction level reject any output that is not, transitively, formed only of whitelisted addresses. Unapproved transactions could still be mined and used between unapproved participants, but it would cause a split inside the network with a BTC-dark (all contaminated outputs) and BTC-clear (whitelisted only) and an (underground) exchange rate between both would emerge, analogous to some third world fiat currencies with a regulated fixed government exchange rate with say USD that differs from the street rate.

The latter is already emerging in a way with discounts for paying ransomware in monero (which gives an implied xrate between tainted BTC and clean BTC) as a response to the small amount of blacklisting clear exchanges have started doing.

I read that sentence most plainly as having two claims: The IRS has enough information to prepare returns for US individuals. This is similar to the Dutch ability claimed above.

Rather than as “the IRS has the same limitations in individual tax return preparation as the Dutch system”.

(GP then goes on to claim that while the IRS has this ability, they are philosophically opposed to this becoming the standard method of tax preparation, which further biases me to thinking that the first reading was their intent.)

The Crossover Project
All I am suggesting is that "hacker" as used by the Ars author could be a company, or backed by a company, and not necessarily a "nation-state". That is not far-fetched at all, IMO. The article makes it sound like "nation-states" are the only folks who could defeat the protection or would even have an interest in doing so. As the comment on the Ars page points out, that is ridiculous.

Assuming "hacker" could be a company what company would have such a motivation and resources to spy on people. The NSO's of the world, sure. Anyone else. Companies have better things to do than spy on people, right. Not anymore.

What about a company whose businesss is personal data mining, who goes so far as to sniff people's residential wifi (they lied about it at first when they got caught), collect audio via a "smart" thermostat (Nest), collect data from an "activity tracker" (FitBit), a "smartphone OS", a search engine, e-mail service, web analytics, etc., etc. Need I go on. I could fill up an entire page with all the different Google acquisitions and ways they are mining people's data.

Why are security keys any different. 9 out of 10 things Google sells or gives away are designed to facilitate data collection, but I guess this is the 1 in 10. "Two-factor authentication" has already been abused by Facebook and Twitter where they were caught using the data for advertising, but I suppose Google is different.

These companies want personal data. With the exception of Apple, they do not stay in business by selling physical products. Collecting data is what they do and they spend enormous amounts of time and effort doing it.

In any determinism all particles share all future states simply because future states are predictable and there's only one future, which is total statistical correlation. In superdetermininsm these future states aren't any states, but particularly selected states that show skewed picture. And they ended up this way arbitrarily, which is a chance (maybe bayesian).
The only valid advice here is 'lawyer the fuck up'.

Yeah, and their main reason for some proprietary drivers existing is usually 3rd-party proprietary dependencies. E.g. they open sourced AMDVLK by starting with the closed Vulkan driver and replacing the proprietary compiler dependency with LLVM.

The problem with following the don't raise wages strategy and wait for your competitor to do it is if they outlast you - you reach the have to close position first.

>By not raising wages, keeping your employees and staying open you will definitely go under.

unless something changes that will make it profitable to raise wages.

In a small margins business this might not be enough to keep you afloat.

While I don't mean to slight the front-end dev's dedication, there are more than a few of us who learned BASIC programming in the late 1970's and early 1980's... without access to any computing device at all.

We would study BASIC from manuals and other books, and pour over program listings in magazines. Then we would write out programs on paper, and "interpret" them in our heads to see if they worked correctly.

Some home computers like the Timex / Sinclair were relatively inexpensive ($100 USD in 1981, $330 in today's dollars), they weren't cheap even then, and that was the very lowest-end device possible (4Kbytes RAM, no storage whatsoever). An Apple II with a floppy drive and montior would run into the thousands of dollars back then.

actually working on tiny screen is not that hard tbh. When my macbook was under repair I used to use microsoft rdp to connect to other pc.

The good thing is i can use external keyboard and mouse. And screen was somewhat okay. The only issue was battery as I keyboard + mouse drains battery a lot.
Hi :)

I had quite a few reports of this issue. Dark mode on it's own works, however if you also have Increase Contrast (Under accessibility > Display & Text size on as well it causes this issue. I just submitted an update to Apple 30 minutes ago that will fix this issue once they approve it (Usually within around 12 hours or so) :)
This is why it's important to give any 'new' code a few passes before committing it; it's pretty likely it'll be used as a template by yourself or others for similar code in the future.
exactly, but unfortunately the way to get out of a prisoner's dilemma situation is to communicate with the other prisoners and to trust each other - communication about prices is illegal and who trusts their competitor anyway?
The tax relief goes to the charity itself, rather than the donor. They can claim a top-up of up to 25% of your donation from the government, as long as the total amount claimed by all donation recipients does not exceed the total annual income tax paid by the donor. So if you donate £100 and fill out a declaration saying that you 'Gift Aid' that donation, the charity can claim an additional £25 from the government, as long as you paid at least £25 in income taxes that financial year.
It's gotten to the ridiculous state where common phones will very often have more screen resolution than 14'' laptops. So as long as you have a way to comfortably stand close enough you won't be lacking for pixels. Eye strain from focusing that close will probably be higher though.

That's useful additional context and information, thanks. My point was only that without deep knowledge of the situation, many of the allegations sound not so different from things that happen elsewhere in Europe.
That's a great question with a rather interesting answer.

The difference between CPUs actually may not be due to different designs - but due to manufacturing errors.
Intel for example might have a production line only for "tier 1" processors (e.g. i7) but during manufacturing, some of the transistors, for some reason, fail to function. During quality tests they can check which transistors fail and reprogram the microcode to use only the good transistors. Then you end up with a lower tier processor (e.g. i5, i3)

Lots of really good information here:

Didn't read the article (paywalled) but I'm commenting on the context of the title.

People have been saying this for years, but Intuit has invested billions in fighting the idea off.

https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-turbotax-20-year-f...

Not only that, for a lot of people, Turbo Tax "feels like" a great thing. If you have a simple tax situation, it takes minutes to go through, you pay 10$ and get your refund very quickly. The free alternative is to fill out a 1040EZ and wait a few months.

For the comparisons to Europe, I'm living in Iceland now, and the tax filing system is incredibly easy simply because the tax system is incredibly easy - there is only one tier of taxation, everyone pays the same percentage. That's the core of the problem. The tax code in the US is incredibly complex, and that's why software like turbo tax exists.
This looks really cool, I signed up and will definitely have a play with this.

I'm not sure if it's just me but your log in with Google isn't working for me. I put a breakpoint in your function that handles failures there and it has {"response:
{error: "popup_closed_by_user"}} - but I just clicked my Google account as I usually would so I'm not sure why it's saying that. Sign up by Email worked fine anyway but figured I'd let you know in case it's affecting others.

I was quite surprised how many languages you support after logging in, it might be worth adding a list/some highlights somewhere on the marketing side because I think it'd a big advantage. If you're taking requests for one more, Elixir would be great!

The goal of bitcoin was to reduce the barriers that traditional financial systems have set in place.

From a 10 year old in the US to a 20 year old somewhere in Africa, bitcoin has no barriers and can be used just like that.

So no, this statement goes against bitcoin and what it stands for.
My father has had his Twike for seven years now. I wouldn't recommend it, the suspension is not up to snuff, even just for daily commute. Getting repairs done is a major difficulty as there are very little parts or mechanics readily available. He also had to sue the Twike company when they tried to defraud us w.r.t. warranty and insure documents. The legal issues have been on-going and they stalled the repair of the Twike for about a year.

My father now commutes by electric bicycle.
Sounds like you had a shitty pdf viewer installed. Which is not my problem.

Why was I forced to install a substandard, feature-poor, ridiculously slow pdf viewer that I never wanted and which took over as the default pdf viewer against my wishes and without asking me, just because you couldn't be bothered to install a decent one?

>I'm willing to bet the internal PDF viewer has at least 100x (more likely 1000x) the users the FTP client had.

Yeah, that tends to happen when you change the defaults without asking.

In the UK it's possible to see a running estimate of your current tax position and the estimate for the end of the year. HMRC issues you a tax code which is used by your employer to determine how much tax they should be deducting each pay period. This means that in most cases you get no nasty surprises at the end of the year.

I've always found the US tax system bizarre.
No it doesn't work that way, because a re-monetization takes a long time and a lot of resources. Why re-monetize when you can use the system already in place?

In Iran, cash still worked and people used it to get smuggled out of the country, even when you were given 5 minutes to get out of your house and see it burn in front of your eyes, or neighbors would steal everything without consequence because you were now parted of a hated minority, you could still get cash via the minority community and family and get out.

If the revolution happened in 2040 vs 1979 iran or 1930s germany, and all finances were controlled by the centralized state via digital accounts, with your minority affiliation tags matched fairly well through a vast adtech apparatus, would those people really have that much to stand on? No, not nearly as much.

In germany during bismarck's time, they created the first welfare state in the 1880s. 30-50 years later the weimar republic, hitler and the holocaust happened. Just because the state is giving you something of value for your money TODAY, does not mean they will continue to do so TOMORROW in your lifetime.

I feel like you don't need %100 total financial surveillance to properly fund a welfare state about honestly minor amounts of cash, but governments are slowly trying to get there. It's very dangerous, and governments are always at risk to go full genocide. The rich use other methods and frauds and almost never use actual cash, other than businesses with a lot of small cash transactions (drugs). I don't think the current surveillance regime is very good for that purpose either.

Large scale criminal behavior is usually enabled by some other governmental policy. The US war of drugs basically funding the narco gang states of northern mexico and creating instability there is a great example of this.
