> In tragic irony, unskilled workers were often far better off financially than highly-educated ones, and many of the latter dropped out of their careers to clean tables or pick people up from the airport to get access to the CUC economy. The dual currency system institutionalized inequality, creating clear classes of haves and have nots. For many people like Lucia, this as much as anything else showed that the revolution was a sham.

The second part of this paragraph feels like a really weird framing of the first part. As far as I can tell:

- workers in what the author considers less-skilled jobs are making more than those in higher skilled jobs

- some workers are quitting to take up these "unskilled" jobs, and it appears they're fully able to do so

On the one hand, it seems the incentives aren't great for people to work in certain professions. On the other, it's kind of hard to argue that there's a fundamental class struggle going on here when a doctor can join the "privileged" class by simply quitting their job and wiping tables. Clearly there's more going on here than somebody is letting on. It would make more sense for people affiliated with the government to have a privileged position (perhaps by being able to access foreign currency more directly).

Either we start giving get out of jail free cards to specific sectors and so on or we agree that everything needs to reduce its emissions by ~8%/year from now on, regardless of their share in total emissions, and of how hard it is technically to decarbonize.

Canada has excellent brain surgeons. The reality is immigration isn't as simple as picking up and wandering across a border. There's nativism, protectionism and of course the ties that keep you bound to your local community. Friends, family, shops, restaurants, a house.

Further, why isn't every brain surgeon in America located in NY, SF and LA?

Broadly, America has a pretty bad healthcare system, ranked somewhere in the mid-20s globally. The vast majority of the healthcare systems ranked higher than America are socialized - somewhere between single payer and two tier. With capped pay. Why aren't all those doctors in America?

The least of the biases at play, here, is the change aversion bias.

Making things "opt-out", without even making it hard, dramatically increases the number of people who opt-in. It can be used for many reasons.

For example, the UK switched it’s organ donation laws from opt-in to opt-out.

Another example, my government has decided that them selling their citizen's personal information to garages, insurance companies, etc, when we buy cars, should also be opt-out.

So they freely sell the car make, acquisition date, buyer's name,… [1][2]

Unless it has changed with GDPR. I’ve never bought a car.

While we're on the topic of GDPR, that is exactly why it insists on making cookies, tracking, and the "sharing of information with partners" opt-in.

And that is without hiding what you’re doing, making it unclear or confusing, or requiring multiple actions to change it.

Headline is hyperbolic as the article itself states crypto usage in Cuba is on par with other countries, about 2.5%. There may be some variance in use cases and good future potential in Cuba but it's certainly not yet an active "revolution". There are certainly good use cases (and existing solutions) across the world for alternative banking systems, especially for international remittances.

The problem with positing Bitcoin as the solution is something that this article highlights as the problem with the Cuba's currencies - both Bitcoin and Cuba fiat are incredibly unstable. People living on tight margins in poor economies cannot afford to gamble with their daily cashflow. Every currency fluctuation has a direct effect on their daily living standards, including what they will be able to afford to eat. In the past few months we've seen massive drops in the value of Bitcoin, such as 25% over 10 days and 40% over 14 days. These are the kind of currency devaluations that poor people on very low incomes cannot afford.

The article would have been better if it had talked about cryptocurrency in general, not specifically the one used for financial speculation by millionaires (speculation in which Bitcoin Magazine plays a part in and it's founders & CEO financially benefit from).

Centralized financial networks and stable coins (if we insist on using a blockchain) are more likely to be the answer for these use cases any maybe the hype around Bitcoin helps that but as-is, it's not a good solution for those who would actually benefit from alternative financial networks.

The "bug" is that some developers think of matching function signatures as some form of authN / authZ.

A few years back I wrote https://medium.com/coinmonks/lashing-out-at-a-spank-channel-... about a similar hack where a contract "trusted" a given (user input) contract based on nothing other than verifying a function signature. This latest hack was smarter but ultimately it still exploited a 4 bytes hash "security" feature...

Apple privacy focus was always opportunistic: they couldn't get a foothold into online advertising so they decided to make that weakness a selling point instead.

They'll ditch privacy in a second if they can sell you enough ads, just as they ditched privacy for Chinese customers when the Chinese government asked them to.

Unless you are peering a VPN is just another ISP and like any ISP they are in complete control of your traffic.

Imagine you are in a hotel. When you order room service your food hygiene is in the hands of the hotel chef — the In-room-dining Service Provider (ISP) if you will.

You can order takeout instead, but you’re really only delegating food hygiene to a different chef, one that’s harder to track down and with a considerably lower stake in your well-being than the one provided by your hotel manager.

Maybe you can answer a few question since the public available information is a bit limited. With a solar + Li-ion battery solution currently in use I often hear about 4hrs capacity at 80% output. How many years does it take for such installation to get a complete return of investment on the batteries, and how on average how low do they need to discharge every day?

With those number we can then look at rust batteries. If we take a country like Germany we can estimate the longest period of low wind conditions in order to estimate how long capacity is required to have the country exclusively run on wind+batteries, and how often such periods occur to calculate the charge cycle. Can rust batteries create an return of investment within a reasonable time frame (with nuclear energy prices as the economical limit for what the market will bear).

It would be very interesting to read a reply.

> If apple was losing [...] per iPhone, would you change your stance?

No. They should change the phone price to match the cost instead of hiding additional charges in app fees.

> the profit model for both iPhones and gaming consoles includes post-sale revenue since they know most people won't purchase it if the cost was all up-front

Just because a profit model is convenient for a corporation is conveninet does not mean it should be accepted. If they want recurring revenue for a smaller up front price they can offer loans instead of being dishonest. But that would allow people to make an informed choice based on the true price they will be paying, and Apple / Sony don't want that.
Per-display scaling works in X11. I happen to use a single DPI setting that's an in-between for both monitors, but that's not a requirement, you can scale per-monitor if you prefer that. Wayland will handle this a bit better, but even in X11 you have options.

I agree that "just use Linux" isn't an answer to privacy concerns in the mainstream, if for no other reason than that the current conversation about Apple is a conversation about phones, a platform where Linux is not currently usable. Purism/Pine phones are exciting, but they're not usable smartphone alternatives yet. Really if we want to talk about Apple's recent changes, I'm not sure any desktop OS is relevant to that conversation.

My frustration here is that a lot of the people who use "year of the Linux desktop" seem to have a really outdated view of what Linux is actually like as a daily driver. HDPI scaling was a huge problem on Linux for a long time. It's a lot better now.

The main barriers for Linux adoption at this point aren't technical. The barriers aren't trying to handle multiple displays, or projectors, or wifi cards, or even getting hardware -- there are multiple companies now that sell good preloaded Linux laptops. That doesn't mean the market share is magically there or that we're going to see a mass migration to Linux any time soon, but the market share is good enough that Linux gets decent support, and stable enough that Linux gives me generally fewer problems than Windows used to (that may have more to do with the quality of Windows degrading though). For a long time that wasn't the case; even until a couple of years ago I would have said that Linux was way behind the curve on touch/tablet support. That gap is pretty much gone now as far as I can see.

That part of the meme that's related to grishka's "sure Linux is a workable desktop, just don't hook any monitors up to it" comment -- that part is dead as far as I'm concerned.
Those being outraged about this decision haven’t accepted yet that one can’t solve legal issues around encryption with technology - not even with open source.

The UK for example can throw people in prison if they don’t hand over their passwords/keys.

Admitting this however would by necessity lead to admitting that citizens of the US/EU have almost zero say in how their government legislate encryption. All these countries wanted to subvert encryption for decades already and they have all the time in the world, unlimited budgets and every other possible tool in their arsenal.
The precedent established by Apple, narrowly read, is it’s ok to scan data that the user is choosing to store in your data center. As you pointed out, this is at least partly a legal matter, and I’m sure their lawyers - the same ones who wrote their response in Apple vs. FBI I’d imagine - enumerated the scope or lack thereof.

Apple’s claim, further, is that this approach is more privacy-preserving than one which requires your cloud provider to run undisclosed algorithms on your plaintext photo library. They don’t say this is not “violating privacy,” nor would that be a well-defined claim without a lot of additional nuance.
People will just go back to use normal cameras for photos where there is no scanning, the bad guys will use that anyway. It makes no sense for Apple to do that, unless they are preparing for something more big.

This is incorrect.

Apple has been saying—since 2019![0]—that they can scan for any potentially illegal content, not just images, not just CSAM, and not even strictly illegal.

That's what should be opposed. CSAM is a red herring.

Not sure I noticed anything like this myself. I did see however, around 30, a massive change in work/life balance.

I went from a rather care-free person in my twenties, who took all vacation days he could, worked part-time for stints in junior functions, to becoming a manager and working 55 hour workweeks and less vacation. That tripled my disposable income and reduced my free time by a third.

My caloric intake before this had been somewhat restricted by these two factors: not enough money to have 'eating out multiple meals daily' be an affordable habit. And not limited enough in time to make that habit-of-convenience a necessary one.

Now I can both afford it and time-wise it helps not to have to prepare every single meal anymore. But for my caloric intake this new habit doesn't help.

We're not talking about massive changes here, but even a 5% increased daily intake stacked over the course of years adds up.

Not to mention changes in non-base metabolism caloric expense. Spending so much time on an office chair definitely leaves less time to move the body. Lots has changed about my behaviour. e.g. in my twenties I often spent two nights a month dancing from 1am till 5am, nowadays I'd still go out but it'd be more of a pub-setting, sitting & drinking.

So I do see changes, but I wouldn't necessarily relate them to base metabolism rates. In your case diet and exercise are almost identical but it definitely wasn't for me.
I have quit using exceptions in my own code, making everything 'nothrow'.

Assuming not all code you use is your own, how does this work in combination with other code (like the STL) which is not nothrow?
In particular, this kind of mini embedded language interpreters can be great to build upon. For the folks who think LISP is dead and irrelevant (spoiler, it is not), think of https://www.lua.org/ as a prominent embedded language. Lua is based on a stack based programming idiom/VM. In a similar spirit, LISP is somewhat the lingua franca for intermediate code representation and therefore omnipresent in compiler contexts.

You can even write LISP interpreters in less lines of code. Norvig required 90 lines of Python: http://norvig.com/lispy2.html :-)
