Is it "entitlement" to say your opinion publicly?
> Your comment leaves out the danger of advertising security and privacy when you cripple those things.

Nobody is doing this. Calyx is taking a measured approach, as they see it, and is making commensurate claims: "CalyxOS is an Android mobile operating system that puts privacy and security into the hands of everyday users." Right on their website.

I am vehemently against absolutisms on security. Where that road goes is straight into a dick measuring contest and it's ugly. You only have to look at Moxie's terrible public behavior to see what the fallout from that approach looks like.

It's a poison in the security industry and it needs to be called out and stopped now. It rewards grown adults for acting like children. It's enough now.
Ok, let me rephrase then: it's a failure of governments.
So what are some good examples?
> but the whole point of a decentralized crypto currency is it's ungovernable.

Why should governments care about opinions from the crypto industry, if the whole point is to evade legislation?
They published full technical documents of what is happening and what is changing, and this is what this debate is about. It's a bit odd to argue that they are not forthright, this is all documented. They could have updated their terms of service vaguely and never mention that feature, they did not.
Onions too. They used some trade negotiations to put a northeast US farmers out of business for certain onions, which now sell for retail at less than production price.
I've come back to this comment like three times and can't hold my tongue any longer. How dare you say something like "maybe they shouldn't be running a database server". Particularly hilarious in the context of Apple and Macs which has literally built their entire history on making computing more accessible to people. I get it, you're a super ninja rockstar programmer who is comfortable with the command line and SQL and probably wishes he still had to toggle the boot loader into the console. Meanwhile there's lots of folks doing work who appreciate tools that make things more accessible. Including databases.
> I ordered the adapter, outlet, and new wire to move an unused electric dryer service to the garage as soon as I got the car, but haven’t bothered to install them. It just isn’t necessary. (And I dislike taking the face cover off the main breaker box, nothing rational, I just don’t like being that close to the live circuits. If I need to charge a lot overnight, it’s a 30 minute job to install the service.

You could do all of the work except for landing the circuit and pay an electrician for an hour to terminate the circuit for you.
Wow, that’s neat. I hadn’t heard of narrationbox.

I’m also seeing a bit of what look like private podcasts taking off. It’s probably a matter of time at this point.
>>>Where do cyclists and ground-level public transportation go if they're not on the streets?

Cyclists are on the sidewalk, and use little ringer bells to signal to pedestrians to move outta the way. For public transit "off the streets" I was mostly referring to the subway system. Buses and taxis are still "on" the street but the users are out of privately-owned vehicles. I wasn't clear on that.

>>>Wait a minute, quarantined and walked around?

Technically "restriction of movement" not "quarantined", I get sloppy and often use the two terms interchangeably. Quarantine = you are COVID+, inside a specially-designated hotel, which you can't leave. ROM = you are COVID- pending additional testing, can stay in any hotel, but can leave your room for essentials such as groceries/take-out food.
That will likely cause an increase in coal usage for power generation.
You're misreading. They're not being ordered to destroy crops in order to support the medical marijuana price. They're destroying crops because there was a bubble and they've created way too much supply.

Cannabis stocks were a fad for a while, and I know lots of people who invested in them blindly. The number of legal cannabis retailers is exploding. I live in a mid sized town and there are three more opening this month, and the ones I see always have customers.

The system's hardly failing, some speculators just played themselves.

The section on callbacks should probably mention that it's best to allow some sort of context cookie to be passed along to the callback. This allows callbacks to be re-entrant and to target any side effects to some particular context. Compare, e.g. qsort() to qsort_r().
Your guess is correct. I should clean up the code, though.
I agree that is a favorable reading.

But it is especially a stretch in the context of January 6th which involved violence directed at people. And the rest of the paragraph laments that future action must be nonviolent.
Once you learn the system, dispensaries are very convenient. At practically every location you can peruse the menu and place an order ahead of time. Then, at the dispensary, show ID, receive selected cannabis products.
Happy ending here: he was admitted to the country a week later, on his second attempt, in time to start classes.

Until I see it, I'm not going to believe that cartoon is racist. I mean seriously, Asian people have skin that is somewhat more yellow and somewhat narrower eyes. With the way the media manipulates anything, the lack of a photo is a pretty strong sign that the cartoon ISN'T significantly racist (just as the lack of race in the title in a act of police brutality is a strong sign that the victim is white).

Star salaries can definitely bloat a movie budget but it still costs 10s of millions to make a "small" film. Look up Blumhouse productions, they make low budget horror movies (if a big star is involved, they get a low salary and a share of profits/revenue) and it still gets into the $20-$40 million range

Isn’t that as much weed as the Dark Lord smoked per hour?

Edit: english subtitles say „hundreds“ while it is actually „thousand“ in the German version. ~1 minute into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPVKaj9hVcY
Genuinely curious, why? This scanning was already happening server-side in your iCloud photos, just like Google Photos, etc. Now they are removing it from server-side to client-side (which still require this photo to be hosted in iCloud)

What changed, really?
and yet you don't produce an older link to back up your claim.
Here in the Netherlands tax for weed is really high. 50% if I recall correctly.

Not sure I hate the idea -- at least tax money is put to very good use. But for those for whom it's more than merely recreational (e.g.: medicinal use), I wish they'd sell a tax-free version. Too prone to abuse I guess.

However, heading to a coffeshop[1] isn't a big deal. It's a person behind the stand, you pic what you want from a menu, and they hand it over. Very nice and friendly, not dissimilar to ordering at a cafe.

I don't look under 25, and they've NEVER asked me for an id at any of these places. It surprised me in the US that even to sell alcohol to someone clearly over 40, they still ask for an id.

[1]: Stores that sell weed here are called "coffeeshops".
Do you remember a time when you had to make a plan with a friend to meet at a specific place at a specific time and if one of you wasn't there or had a last minute problem there was probably no way to contact the other person? That was annoying, true.

I also refused to get a mobile phone for years, much to the chagrin of my girlfriend(s). It meant I used to come home to an answering machine full of messages and feel much more loved than I ever have with the immediate drip feed of messages I get now.

I wonder, what will I really miss that a book and a dumbphone won't be able to replace in my life? Perhaps the maps.

I don’t have a copy of the cartoon, and I haven’t read anything about this story other than what’s in the article. But that the article is very vague about the cartoon is rather telling in itself: if it is innocuous enough why isn’t it included or at least described in more detail as ammunition? The author wasn’t shy about including the full tweet they’d like you to believe was the smoking gun. It’s also impossible to tell “actual intent” even if the image is provided; pushing a political message is not at all mutually exclusive with contempt against an entire people.

Anyway, this jollybean poster apparently also doesn’t have a copy and posted in bad faith just to mislead people who didn’t actually read the article, or only read what the author intended to highlight. Really tried of this bad faith engagement.
> The business model at that time didn’t demand actual weed sales: selling hype, selling the potential of selling weed, was proving lucrative.

That's kind of everything these days.. Tech, stocks markets, housing, etc. is less about fundamentals as it is the "potential".

Last year lots of people planted hemp around me, as it just become legal and there was a small market opening. Very, very few of these people had any notion what it would take to harvest, process and store their crop, and no notion of how or where to market it once in.

I've seen multiple Craigslist ads attempting to sell garbage bags of wet, mouldy, untrimmed hemp. I've been told that anyone who has a sales channel has been inundated with "buy my crop" offers. Ive heard one guy had grown and harvested several acres or so and had a couple truckloads in round wrapped bales he was looking to sell.

People didn't dive into cotton farming this way, when it became viable in the area again.

Because people here only care about security and privacy, and Signal/Matrix offer some of the best user accessible encryption.
Rights aren't "social constructs" if they're natural rights, that is, those that follow from the nature of what it means to be a human being. Those are recognized, not "constructed". These must be distinguished from those things that are merely asserted as rights and that people like to make up to suit their agendas.

But, given that, natural rights can be violated and fail to be protected from those who would do so. So just because something is natural in nature does not mean it cannot be suppressed. It is natural and proper for human beings to speak, but speech can be suppressed. So yes, a society that stops protecting rights will see more violations of them. Declarations are magic incantations. You need power and authority to back them up.

(Also, w.r.t. freedom of speech, I am here not assuming unrestricted speech and "expression"; this has never existed and cannot exist and so on. Rights are not absolute: you can forfeit even your right to life by murdering another human being, for example. Thus rights must be understood in the context of justice.)

I may have given a too cursory read on this article but it seems to be confusing the higher level concept of frameworks with the lower level concept of inversion-of-control. While IOC is indeed the usual foundation for frameworks, and thus also all programming approaches to IOC, a framework does not differentiate itself from competitors by those, but through a wide range of capabilities offered to users.
But what’s the practical difference between scanning photos when they’re uploaded to iCloud on a server, or on device?
Also, check what the oil manufacturer says. Some oils will last longer than others.
Fully Homomorphic Encryption [1] (FHE) would be one of these services. You could let someone else on the internet do computations for you, without him being able to see what the input/output of these computations are. The idea behind FHE is that the whole computation process will be fully encrypted, and therefore anonymous, while containing usable personal data. From the server side you can apply algorithms like:

// With FHE the server side cannot see the outcome of the if/else statement.
if (encData.authenticate('John Doe')) {
encData.result = addEncryptedResult(doStuffWith(encData.input), encData.pubKey);
} else {
encData.result = addEncryptedResult("Authentication failed.", encData.pubKey);
}
sendBack(encData);

For example, you can use FHE on your income. Send the encrypted data to someone else (could be anyone). They compute the tax reduction computations for you, without seeing who you are, what you earn, and what your tax returns are. Because every computation this person performs is fully encrypted and release the results openly. You download the encrypted results and, because you have the private key, find your tax returns. (I can probably come up with a better example if I think a bit longer)

The only downside of FHE is that it's way too slow to be practical. When I studied the Brakerski-Gentry-Vaikuntanathan scheme in 2011 I remembered that it took hours to compute 3 + 4. Speed has increased a lot in FHE, but it's not at a practical level yet.

My immediate thought was "man, this is going to be so useful for so many people". I'm saying that as a non-coding founder.

One immediate thought for a feature (you may or may not have already thought of this...). A picklist of options for "how did you hear about us?"

That will help marketing and sales to get more granularity than the usual 80/20 split between "referral" and "direct" in Google Analytics. With all the brand-building efforts like newsletters, videos and podcasts going on - traditional "last touch attribution" tools like Hubspot or even multi-touch tools like Bizible don't capture brand.
I think that this policy, and similar ones, will likely hurt the people it purports to protect. The perception will now be reinforced that women or minorities hired to boards are to "meet quota".

Also interesting that this article implied that some of these problems were fixing themselves, with the rate of female and black directors increasing.

If you believe that there is systemic racism, then you believe there is an arbitrage opportunity, which for profit companies are likely to take advantage of.

(This implementation however doesn't appear to be the worst implementation of this idea, so that has merit)
There is barely any viewpoint argued in the article. So vanity tlds may be bad, why??

They were reporting to the authorities before as well with what was found on iCloud photos.
This is really the worst kind of shit. Destroy food so they can charge more, while so many starving people could use that food.

I've heard it a million times, but it'll never stop shocking me to here about this idea: Keeping market value up is more important than reducing starvation.
I read through the whole thing and found out it was a fundraising pitch: a way to get a few clams from the system. At that point I decided to clam up (even though I realised that made me a little shellfish)...
I think the point of the OP is that it was already the case before when you were using iCloud photos. The scan was server side.
> What about the last person that will ever hold that share? How will they profit from owning it?

They will have voting rights on the board and perceive dividends from one of the most successful companies in recent history?

Even if the company stopped its activities today, liquidating its assets: land, patents, infrastructure, contracts, data, etc. would bar the stock from going to zero.
> No manufacturer I've ever worked with would even blink at a requirement for unique serial numbers.

It's easy and even expected to have a requirement. There's a requirement that US SSNs are unique too. A requirement doesn't cut it. The requirement is going to fail sooner or later and what then? How much did the manufacturers you worked with indemnify you against the consequences of non-unique serial numbers?

That's what we're getting at here. When it breaks somebody has to fix it. Or, you could design it not to break.

It's a man's laws versus nature's laws problem. Did you know you can pick up the soccer ball, and just carry it over the goal line? Yeah, that's "against the rules" but you can do it anyway, being against the rules doesn't make it impossible.

Now, contrariwise you can't teleport the ball - doesn't matter whether the rules allow it, can't do it anyway. Nature's law are facts. Design your database to rely on facts, not man's laws as much as possible.
Yeah, it's odd to see that omitted, especially for headaches that are related to muscle and joint issues.
If you say that the current photo is not so bad, you are forgetting that you are seeing a movie, the very start of it. The next frame may not be so bad? That doesn't matter if the movie keeps running, you will get increasingly worse frames next, it won't magically stop because you want.

Think that the warming you are seeing is a second+ level consequence of our action. We emit GHG, the planet keeps more energy than the one it emits because the excess of GHG, the global average yearly temperature increases. Emitting less GHG will keep increasing that excess of GHG. Emitting zero will keep that excess in its place (because the carbon cycle last around 100 years or more). Doing a massive capture managing to do more carbon capture than what we emit will keep having an excess of GHG until we reach the preindustrial levels. All the way till that fantasy point the global average temperature will keep increasing.

And your emissions are not the main drive of that anymore. We reached already a lot of tipping points that triggered a lot of positive feedback mechanisms. Less ice means less albedo and so getting more heat from the sun. Hotter northern regions are releasing methane that were frozen there for millenia. Forest fires emits even carbon and cause even more heat. And there are several more.

And the problem is not just heat. It is energy to fuel extreme weather events, that happens from the equator to the poles. Is disrupting previously stable climate features that made the world livable as it were for thousands of years, the polar vortex seem to be disrupted, the atlantic ocean current seem to be going in the same direction too.

And we depend on more life, in direct and indirect ways. Agriculture doesn't mix well with extreme weather. We are in one of the biggest extinction events on Earth history. Its just not sustainable in the long term.
This is a good question, but I’m not sure if there’s a good answer.

One thing I liked about grad school is that there would literally be classes where students were assigned to read a foundational paper in the field and then discuss/write about it, so my personal go to has been to try and find “Intro to X” grad level courses and see their paper assignments (most professors tend to put most course material online).

It’s not something guaranteed to give you results but often I will stumble into interesting stuff I wouldn’t have otherwise.
They are not anti-systemic

The system will emit one system that will always align with our understanding of reality with constants we cannot violate. The perimeter is programmed; physics. All this modeling is filling in the middle. What it means as far as impact on human agency is up to politics as usual.

This is more of the same “we have this streamlined math model, now what?”

All these things are is confirmation math operators still work within our known bubble of physics.

It’s mathematically true whether we define it or not. Some geometric art project is not a good basis for application of my agency.

Biology science allows us to take the view the application of these ideas is chemical delusion. The cynical take is that managing human agency with models most cannot understand the meaning of is fascist.

Go ahead and draw spirals on a wall all day. I don’t have to pick to politically empower people for it.

You know what saves money and effort? Doing less and buying less. An economical solution that’s untenable or rich people would be normal.
You can choose the topic you’re interested in and either go for “test of time” awarded papers in the field, or pick up a list from a graduate course in any University. That way the professor would have done the curation for you.

Rust is a C replacement not in the "tactical" sense of "I like C but it's a bit shit", it's a C replacement in the "strategic" sense: it aims to displace C in most of its core usages e.g. writing low-level or portable libraries, CLI utilities, daemons, kernel and kernel modules, etc… places where only C (and C++ somewhat more debatably) would be an option and continuously causes issues.

It also aims to displace C++ when that's used in the same space, but in the sense that that's ground C++ gained from C, well C is the real target, if it can displace C there it can quite naturally displace C++ as well.
I did the math on this a few years ago and it came out to be less than 10 farms to supply the entire US with weed.

Edit:. Found my post:

For comparison, bulk price of tobacco is a few bucks a pound. Admittedly I am not an expert in marijuana vs tobacco cultivation, but I doubt it's 1,000 times more expensive. Ultimately, the problem with profiting in a legal marijuana industry is that people simply don't smoke that much pot.

Say that there's 260 million adults in the US and they all smoke 1 joint per day. Assuming:

1 joint = 1 g of marijuana

1 lb = 454g

1 acre can yield 600 lbs of marijuana

1 farm is 1000 acres

If you do the math, that means we need roughly 350 farms worth of marijuana. Or in terms of acreage, roughly 0.04% of all the acreage in the U.S. under cultivation. In other words, even if we assume a ridiculous level of smoking there's simply not a huge demand for pot. Using more realistic amounts, a handful of large farms could produce all the marijuana consumed in the country.
