> What about not getting into this and, thus, not being exposed to any risks? Sex-work nowadays is the matter of choice, it's not how it used to be in pre-internet era.

Unfortunately it's often the only choice, If not we wouldn't be still finding women from poor countries dead in locked shipping containers in the harbors of developed countries.
Having a separate account for work and private stuff should be common sense. No surprise your employer wants to access it when you used it for work related reasons. This can be as trivial as some business contacts having your mail and trying to contact Apple.
"Do people work harder in groups or as individuals?" is not a yes/no question. It's a question they study, but they're not looking for a simple answer.
If PCCCI conformity and compliance can be done programmatically and the interfaces and tAPIs standardised, a uniform hardened virtual machine created commercially with multiple levels of support for complimentary up and down stream support / integration / development / consulting / services brokerage, isn't it possible to finance a very significant development in Linux security and privacy when some kind of economic opportunity like this comes along with just the right characteristics to attract sufficient attention and commitment?

Basically only just a image problem is keeping this industry from a huge amount of important infrastructure development.

Imagine that YouTube was to shut down next week.

how many startups do you think would be created to address that market?

How many uniquely innovative new ideas for attracting the former YT user base would be executed with lasting qualities that are beneficial to society and video producers and professional consumers?

Homogeneity is the developer crown / throne.

But homogeneous behemoth oligarchies prevent any serious development in any way capable of being subsumed by the oligarchs at marginal and not meaningful cost?

Can't any number, if a multitude is necessary then how about a multitude of global entrepreneurs less worried about their CVs appearance and capable of the work that we do for very much less for the same lifestyle, can't we find enough cut away / vanity intermediaries to take any public rap to enable the creation of a host of new companies in this sector all wanting to hire American talent and use American IP to develop the most advanced features for video sites serving this user base right now and just step in?
The use case you're describing is impossible with other packaging tools, so really the choice is either "nothing" or "write a nix script".

(Tool support would be nice, but nixpkgs has no standard way to specify packages across languages and runtimes, so not possible right now.)
On the one hand hibernate could just zero out the secret memory instead of storing it, which would be trivial to detect by an application by checking if guard values were set to zero. On the other hand using hibernate significantly increases the risk of leaking parts of the secret that might temporarily end up on the stack or other less protected memory regions. So the tradeoff in program complexity might not be worth it, of course at that point you could still disable hibernate system wide.
The Visual Studio team totally needs to steal your ideas and deliver implementations for sharing your workflow.

A graphical development environment and TS library set for something like UML wanted to be for OOP only for everything we need to do and want to do with our codes in any development environment from the enterprise VS group wallet grab setup we still run, to a "redmode" for working from Emacs.

It's not all as bad as XKCD says about creating new standards : the world of code writers is big enough now for many equivalent standards to thrive in coexistence. We're probably still too emotionally scarred from the very recent years when anything that smacks of making standards and arguing betweent them had much more serious consequences than possible today.

You are missing the forest for the trees. This entire feature is a privacy violation.

No, the alternative is to not do any scanning.
Boston Dynamics has made some pretty incredible progress. The very first videos had Atlas and Spot "walking" but really more like controlled tripping. It was cool and impressive, but definitely in line with my idea of what was possible in robotics. The most recent video has Atlas doing parkour. It's skin crawling. It looks fake. It can jump and flip better than I ever could. It is suddenly out of step with what I ever thought a robot would do.

Conventionally, I would agree that this sounds like an insane overreach from Musk, but it feels like the ground is shifting under my feet and the previously preposterous is becoming suddenly possibly with increasing frequency.

Anyway, better that it gets me my groceries than hunts me down through the forest.
Sure, your proposed attack, that requires the victim to have a 15 year old girlfriend, to break an (admittedly silly) law by having nude photos on their phone, for you to call the cops, and for them to take such a call seriously is clearly comparable to a vector that can be used to target innocents, groups of individuals, etc. who did not break the law in any way, and that do not require the attacker to handle prohibitex material at all, and requires Apple to keep a ton of information completely obscure to even provide a weak semblance of security (it was shown to be completely broken except possibly for one unknown hash, in two weeks). Clearly comparable. Sure. Clearly.

For one last time, the NeuralHash collisions make this tool perfectly unusable for catching pedos: all of the next generation of CSAM content will collide with hashes of popular, innocent images. Two weeks after it was deployed, Apple's CSAM scanning is now _only_ an attack vector and a privacy risk. It's completely useless for its nominal function. This would be a massive, hilarious own goal from Apple even if the public reaction was over the top (although it isn't). They just reduced the privacy and security of nearly all their customers, further exposed themselves to the whims of governments, and for no gain whatsoever.
But not banned because of it, as you implied.

I just checked, and it looks like the website they moved to lasted only months, before the operator shut it down over concerns about racism, concerns from their host, and FBI inquiries. Painting it like it was just media matters picking up on one thing is far from the whole story. The place was septic.
They're framing their position as wanting to "help their colleagues" and not be a "mercenary", while in actually they're harming those colleagues for the sake of their "big promotion"; they're not just embracing a different value system but performing allegiance to communal values while actually undermining them. I'd have a certain respect for someone who openly acknowledged that they were trying to win a race to the bottom, but not for that kind of disingenuity and hypocrisy.
I think we would keep the top 5% scores, and the remaining 5% would be filled with the people able to "affect the randomness" (read bribe) the best.

There is already a degree of randomness inherent, since for example students don't all study all the material with exactly the same level of attention to each individual part of material. And some will be tired the day of the exams. Some will have something else on their mind while studying due to their relative being in the hospital. Some will by chance happen to guess right on some difficult task. etc. So you already have randomness.
Considerations:

1) First, questioning the premise—you may encounter a whole lot more pop-social-science writing than the Real Deal. Consider, for example, what a smart and thoughtful person, whose main exposure to the work of historians was watching Ancient Aliens, might think of history, as an academic field. I don't know what you've read, but it's possible a lot of it's way toward the entertaining-but-wrong end.

2) As for "rigorous science", the social sciences have many limitations that something like chemistry or physics do not. They are necessarily based much more on observation and comparison of complex real-world systems. Limited ability to perform controlled experiments doesn't make them not science, as there's more to science than just that, but it does mean it can be very difficult to prove solid, definitive results in social science. It does also mean that the edges of social science are a great place to hide and nurture some serious bullshit, and if it's politically convenient for someone maybe even get your bullshit a few well-funded think-tanks—that in addition to how much the heart of it's full of bullshit, too, due to careerist game-playing by researchers, but that's not so different from other fields.
Are you perhaps projecting a US experience?

In the UK, the head of state is also the head of the state church, and things aren't too bad.

In Germany, the government is currently run by the Christian Democratic Union (and a few allies), and things seem reasonably secular.
Again: as an obstacle to articles about scientists, we're talking about something applies essentially only to the first article you create on the site.
"A key takeaway is that our algorithms are not impartial." Of course they are, they just underperform on the data points from the long tail of the empirical distribution, as show basically all real-world examples from the paper. Underfitting on the samples from the long tale (aka blinding the model to ethically bad features) removes bias sensu strictu but increases variance, which leads to more errors, which is perceived as "bias" (did someone say catch 22?).

This is somewhat paradoxical, but I think leadership requires some level of delusion. If one truly sees things as they are, it’s hard to create narratives and mythologies requires to motivate/lead people.

I cannot disprove that individual rationalists believe this, but to my knowledge it is not a community opinion.

The problem with emotions arises when you attach emotional valence to beliefs and conclusions, rather than outcomes.

Inasmuch as rationalists can be seen as down on emotions, it is because lots of people allow emotions to distort their thinking about reality. In other words, rather than having emotional preferences over outcomes, they have emotional preferences over beliefs and modes of reasoning. (That's why a core of rationalist technique (short [1] long [2]) is learning to emotionally tolerate the possibility of being mistaken.) This is indeed antithetical to rational thought, but it's hardly the only thing emotions are for.

There is nothing wrong with emotions. They just have no place in the process you use to arrive at beliefs about reality. In other words, rationality rejects the Pratchettian claim that you have to believe "the big [lies]: justice, mercy, duty." [3] Instead, it reframes those as evolved game-theoretic adaptations that are part of the iterated game you are playing with your peers, called "society." This places emotion in its proper context without invalidating it. Quite the opposite, it views emotion as a vital, useful part of human interaction and decisionmaking, rather than the generic default of "just part of what it means to be human".

>Meanwhile the argument in opposition says that they were lying about the cost- instead of the $20 billion proponents were promising (they rounded up, of course, and assumed 1:1 federal matching funds), it would likely cost $90 billion, according to the opponents, which would make it “the most expensive railroad in history”. This is a rare situation where participants in a public debate understated their argument. In fact, the full cost of the train, according to the Los Angeles Times this past February, is now over $100 billion! Even the initiative’s opponents underestimated what a boondoggle this was!

One thing you don't see clarified very often when talking about the costs of megaprojects is inflation. $90 billion in 2008 dollars is $114 billion in 2021 dollars, meaning that the apparent cost blow out (against the opposition estimate) could just be an inflation induced illusion.
And yet, it is the rationalist ethos. This was GP's point - many rationalists believe some quite misguided things.
What's with all the cynicism and negativity in this thread?

Jeff Bezos launches a rocket - it's not impressive enough of a technological breakthrough for people who watch and judge from the sidelines. Jeff Bezos isn't using his money right.

Elon Musk spends his money taking moonshots and succeeding a lot of the time, announces that he's working on an extremely exciting science-fiction-level technology - it's not realistic enough, he's sure to fail this time.

It's like there's 1% of people who are trying to take advantage of the amazing time we're living in, working hard, often succeeding, making things and getting things done. And everyone else just watches, judges, complains, and tries to score some points by dismissing the achievements of others. Surely if THEY had the intelligence and discipline to spend decades building businesses and make billions of dollars, THEY would have spent all that hypothetical money better.

What does a person have to do to impress you people? What happened to the culture of respecting and encouraging human achievement in America, to optimism about the future?
Slice units only help with resource allocation, but the main draw of Docker isn't that, but the fact that you can be running a completely different distro with a completely different stack since a container is basically a glorified chroot and that the image can be built from an easy to understand script and then shared with others.

Sure, you could publish your app as a .tar.gz of the filesystem root and then users could extract it and have a script to bind mount everything and chroot into it. You could then set up a systemd service(s) for that script and set up a slice. But then you're just reinventing Docker from scratch for absolutely no reason. You could also use systemd-nspawn, but then you're losing out on a bunch of really useful features that the devs omitted because of philosophical reasons (as usual with systemd, they think they know better than you).
[citation needed]

Sorry, I don't mean to be snarky, but you can't just make baseless claims and expect others to believe them. It's far easier to make claims than to verify them so there's a significant asymmetry at play here.
Whatever ‘human nature’ is, cultural and social layers make any answers rarely applicable to anything other than a relatively small universe of people, not universal truths.

“Do people work harder in groups or as individuals?” For example can be answered in one way or the other depending on social values, cultural traditions, and those even change thru time.

Ask your parents, ask younger generations, ask other ethnics groups or even ask yourself the same question in twenty years.
Is this article trolling?

> He stressed that individuals who scored high on tests about human nature do not possess the same knowledge and skills as trained social psychologists. However, he also noted that while “natural” social psychologists will not replace actual psychologists, they could be important players in the real world.

Why do the tropes persist? Do the people writing these articles not know anyone with an accounting degree from a state school?

It does feel like people like me are forgotten, ignored and dismissed by these cosmopolitan selective school elites.
Very cool! The code looked very readable and clear too, from the little I looked at (mainly expr.c).

One minor stylistic observation is that even though it's a C11 compiler, itself written in C11, it holds on to the very Old-Sk00l convention of declaring a function's variables at the top, instead of at point of use.

It's at least very consistent, even the statement after the declaration is an assignment to a variable, that variable is still separately declared above. Example (again, from expr.c):

static struct expr *
mkexpr(enum exprkind k, struct type *t)
{
struct expr *e;
e = xmalloc(sizeof(*e));

Really glad [1] it doesn't cast the return value of the alloc function, at least. :) I would write the body code as

{
struct expr * const e = xmalloc(sizeof *e);

The 'const' there makes it impossible to re-assign e, thus leaking the memory, and is IMO a good thing.

NOTE: I realize the separate declarations is a stylistic choice and I'm not being critical, I just think it's fun how enduring some theoretically outdated stylistic choices are in C.

> Whenever a crypto company uses the word "liquidity" that's a red flag that it's likely some kind of a scam.

That’s really not the case. If you deal with investments on any real scale the utility of liquidity becomes very clear.

If for any reason I decide I need to move a large sum of money (let’s say 100k), and god forbid I need to do that internationally, you’re going to have to wait. (too bad if it’s the weekend) Meaning your cash isn’t as liquid as it could be.

Tether and other stable coins primarily make moving sums of money within minutes internationally possible. If I see an investment opportunity and want to act, waiting on a wire might be a no go.

The vast majority of Tether and stable coin use is for that. People holding tether as some kind of investment is practically nil (it’s a horrible horrible investment even if it’s backing was physical dollar bills in a vault)

The reason services like Nexo provide 12% interest is not to hold, it’s to facilitate trade and moving in and out. If I want to have cash available for trading, moving it as USD is very hard. Moving it as stable coin is simply and allows trading quickly. The 12% is a bonus/hedge so you don’t feel like you have to immediately convert your liquid positions (dealing with taxes etc). With the interest, one can keep some stable coin on hand for trading and minimize losses. With Nexo, people are also taking out collateral loans. If you take that as USD, then tour waiting on banks to use it. Take it as stable coin you can use it immediately. The 12% also offsets the loan interest so you don’t need to pay it back immediately.

So maybe tether’s strength as a stable coin can be scrutinized, it could be more arable with better backing… but again the concept isn’t a scam, and certainly nothing to do with pyramid schemes etc.

Most people who talk about tether as a scam (or other stable coins) have no experience in using it.
Could it be that you hesitate to "write" because you've accurately "read" the room?

E.g. a toddler may find it easier to kick around a ball on a lawn vs. a kid kicking it around on a soccer field with boundaries, goal posts, and rules. To extend the analogy, everyone thinks the toddler is cute and doing a great job, but only the kid's parents think she's playing well.

Any rational or truthful reporting will, of course, be highly critical of the government. But most reporting on China in the US and Europe is very far from this ideal, and swings over into demonization and absurd caricature.

Nearly every story on China is intensely negative - even reporting on things that are mostly positive, such as the reduction of extreme poverty or the successful epidemic control measures. By all means, report on political repression in Xinjiang, but don't try to manipulate people by throwing around absurd accusations of "genocide." This is causing a backlash in China, and among people who know about China to any extent.

There's very little attempt to explain to Western audiences, in broad outlines, what Chinese society is like, what the major government policies are, or what the background of various conflicts is. That's what I miss most in reporting in the US and Europe. It comes across as a crude attempt to demonize a country, and to manipulate public opinion into supporting an aggressive posture towards a geopolitical rival.

Yes, no internet for them until they either fill out the form or fill out the other form.

This seems like an effective, if harsh, way to make students show up in the right office with the right form. I say that as a former student, if you see what I mean. So my question is: For which class of forms do you think this is "completely ridiculous" and for which is it acceptable?

Well, the study suggests that fructose screws with your intestines in a way that promotes obesity, that glucose does not. Slow glucose is fine except when it isn’t fast enough, so there are definitely circumstances to consider like hard mental or physical labor. I wouldn’t recommend zeroing out all sugars and switching purely to bread. Fruit has been cultivated for thousand of years. It’s generally good for us; yes, it has some fructose; eat whole fruit anyways.
