> If I receive coins in my desktop wallet for the cookies I'm selling, how will anyone know who I am?

If I bought cookies from you and paid with crypto you have to know the address I want you to send the cookies to. Or I have to pick them up in person and you'll see me. Either case greatly reduces anonymity.

This vulnerability doesn't exactly exist for all crypto. Privacy coins aren't necessarily unique (or at least for practical purposes). The uniqueness of the coin is what allows it to be tracked. That's why we know where the GOX coins are and this is why that hacker can't use those coins. As soon as they try to turn that into real money we got 'em.
Author here; #3 also defies the use-case for a duress word. The attacker is supposed to be presented with what appears to be a normal login scenario while in the background sensitive data is being scrubbed or even have the routines remove the pam-duress module completely so there's no evidence there was a duress routine in place.

Real law enforcement agencies would also simply confiscate the device and hand it to a forensic team to pull a "golden image" from it to work with in lieu of a user session.
I truly don't understand this reasoning. If lobbyists buy politicians, the sell out are the politicians, and then healthcare administration must be taken away from government..
> Medicare bases its payments for physician-administered drugs on their average private market price.

Medicare is driving up prices by… paying market rate?

This reasoning seems to imply that Medicare somehow has the ability to time travel backwards and influence the choices of drug companies and private insurance to inflate prices which they then agree to pay. It literally implies that Medicare reacting to private market is exactly the same thing as controlling the private market. This strikes me as completely incomprehensible at best and a nakedly bad faith attack on Medicare at worst
+1. Their droppers are whitelabeled TransX, but the other components appear to have actually been designed by PNW and manufactured by various suppliers in Taiwan like most high quality, high volume bike parts. But they're still a business "making things" in the same way that most other companies that sell consumer products are.

I have a Loam lever, a Rainier dropper, and Range stem. They're all excellent parts with tasteful branding. PNW's customer support is excellent, when it comes time to inevitably replace a sagging dropper. The stem's bottom has an unusual design that excited some bike wizards on bikes.stackexchange when I had questions about using stems without spacers. That certainly isn't a whitelabeled, off-the-shelf component.

With the state of Amazon being what it is, I would never even have thought to look for bike parts on there. The likelihood of accidentally buying a counterfeit part is way, way too high. I buy all my bike parts direct from the manufacturer, whenever possible. PNW has a nice Shopify site, why give Amazon your money?

Just replying to say I did read your reply, and I apologize that I've upset you in my replies. My intent is/was never to distract from the data at hand. I care about the issue greatly, but am not super educated on the topic. I am, admittedly, mostly speaking from how I view this data and presentation, as a layperson. I'm not interested in arguing, so I'll stop on the topic.

The altitude of Mexico City would also have an effect, compared to a location like Singapore at sea-level.

Time-of-day would have far more bearing than latitude, since most human population is within ±45.
This is nowhere near new. On the right, it’s a running joke - if there are five people in a “milita” group, two are FBI agents, one is a sheriff’s deputy, one is ATF, and one is a reporter. The ATF agent is the one that always wants to blow something up.

There was an attack at a “Draw Mohammed” event in Garland, TX in 2015 where not only was the FBI “monitoring” the two gunmen… there was an FBI agent present at the attack. He tried to flee and was apprehended by local police. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Culwell_Center_attack#L...

We think we're starting at about the right time to skip straight to aviation hydrogen. Several companies are working on fuel cells and infrastructure specifically for aviation. We're starting with the battery version, and by the time we deploy the hydrogen version in the middle of the decade we expect the cost to have come down a lot.

If we're successful, these airships will be flying for decades to come. The extreme weather this summer and the recent IPCC report has driven home how important it is for new forms of transportation to be zero emission from the beginning.
Of course it doesn't. But a lot of the time, those people will not care whether you blame them or not. They'll just keep doing it. If there's a loophole, some unscrupulous person or company will always exploit it. Go ahead and blame them. When you've gotten that out of your system, change the law.
Rationalisation mostly. It is fairly easy to rationalize almost anything.
You also can't pay taxes with US$ in most countries outside the US. They only accept local currency.

The IRS not accepting cryptocurrencies is irrelevant; you can take a look at any trading platform and find that there are people, right now, willing to part with more than 49000 of their "government backed US dollars with their intrinsic value and ability to pay taxes" to acquire a single bitcoin.
That's a misunderstanding that I see a lot, they do not have a legal duty to maximize returns to shareholders.

> and as a corporation beholden to shareholders they have a legal duty to maximize returns

I never understood this point. If there is a legal requirement to maximize profit, CEOs should be legally required to have low compensations so as to maximize profit. But that is not the case. Why "maximize profit" does not apply to wasteful hyper paid CEOs?

Worse even. Most companies reduce profits by moving them to other countries with lower taxes. Would not that be against the law?

You mean unquota'd H1B? As in allow 10x or 50x the immigrants through that program?
I don't see why the two should be connected. Consistency and utility are somewhat orthogonal.

Here's a counterexample:

Einstein chose hyperbolic geometry for arguments about space ships traveling near light speed, but we use spherical geometry for arguments about the shortest path an airplane should take. Those theories disagree about the playfair postulate, so they're inconsistent. Yet we can pretty reliably pick the right one for the job.
Standard drone regulations in the U.S. allow mostly unrestricted flight up to 400 feet. We think that's about the right altitude to stay below general aviation - no obvious advantages to flying higher - but TBD depending on how regulations evolve
So you hold both parties accountable. Neither is being held at gunpoint here - both are mutually consenting to an exchange, and thus both are responsible for the consequences thereof.
This is true up and down the market. Here in New Zealand we've had a lot of squealing about "shortages in essential skills" from, I shit you not, cafe owners, bottle shop owners, you name it. We have restaurants who charge, I am not making this up, $300/head claiming that if they can't import cheap waiters paid $18/hour they'll go out of business.

The sad thing is that workers - and we see this in this very thread - end up attacking immigrant workers (who are merely trying to improve their lives), rather than employers who are exploiting workers on employer-tied work visas (both in terms of up-front pay, but often in terms of kickbacks and the like) to drive down local pay and conditions.

The answer would be that if there is a genuine labour shortage in local skills, the work permit should be in that industry/skill set, not employer tied. That would allow migrant workers to better their lot (and, given that many support extended family on remittences, whole communities) while allowing them to avoid being exploited by agencies or shitty employers; it would also avoid migrant labour being mis-used to depress local terms and conditions.

Unfortunately it seems easier to convince people to vote for anti-immigrant, often bigoted, political platforms than to convince workers to see their common interests.

The NHS manages to negotiate some of the best drug prices in the world. I bet drug companies just love the opposite of Medicare and nationalised health. As I understand it other countries have an agency that stops drugs coming into the market if their cost doesn’t justify their improvement in outcomes. America just lets all drugs that are safe come onto the market at any price. https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/science-and-health/2016/11/...

> the exorbitant cost of drugs that need to be administered by physicians

Can someone with more familiarity explain why some drugs need to be “administered by physicians”? Why can’t patients self administer or why can’t a less expensive job role be imagined for a simple 5 minute visit for drugs administered in an outpatient setting?

Also, for regular drugs and prescriptions, why are doctors involved at all and why does the FDA regulate access to them, creating time and cost barriers? I feel like much of the time, my physician or a physician’s assistant aren’t providing any useful diagnosis or guidance toward a prescription that I couldn’t have figured out myself. The gatekeeping almost always is frustrating because I get no value out of them. I’m especially annoyed since some of the drugs I’ve been prescribed aren’t even controlled in the EU but are in the US.

Years ago, I became immune to having reactions to mosquito bites after getting bitten over a hundred times in a 20-hour timespan by at least 3 types of mosquitoes, one of which was Aedes Aegypti (the stripey bastards that carry Dengue Fever).

I always knew that the redness, itching, and swelling was an autoimmune response to the introduction of certain proteins present in mosquito saliva, so I'm wondering if it's possible to override that response by introducing enough saliva (with myself as a prime example), and what the wider implications of that are.
A quick glance at any exchange disproves this. The common agreement right now is that a single Bitcoin has ~$50000 value.
This is exactly the potential danger of countries creating their own digital currency. If they aren't privacy coins then said government has a ledger of every single transaction that its citizens have made. And in that case the gov will know what IDs correspond to which names. Of course if the country adopts a privacy coin this would in turn be a great win for privacy. Of course there's still the danger of if we can ensure that privacy and ensure that it stays that way. So this is something many need to consider during discussions about the FedCoin and Digital Yuan. The "crypto" in "cryptocurrency" isn't necessarily the same "crypto" as we understand in privacy. E.g. Bank transactions are cryptographically secure, but not private.

I'm happy to pay for the skilled labour of bike servicing and parts fitting. I wish bike stores would acknowledge that that's what I'm paying them for and fit parts that I've bought myself (probably off Amazon), charging a fair price that lets them make a reasonable overall margin. Don't try to keep a parts selection instore, use the space for the mechanics and just those parts that people might need urgently (i.e. some pedals that are good enough to ride home on if you broke off your current pedals - if I'm upgrading to fancy pedals I'm going to want to choose them specifically).

Neither bike has a matching bottom bracket tool, the cups are different sizes. The mountain bike i have is different again. So thats three different tools. It drives me nuts!
> "using technologies we have today[..]"

I feel this limitation is where we lose most of the public. For example I am convinced that if we bid the bullet and banned burning fossil fuels starting next January, things would suck in the short term. However, I am also convinced that the progress we'd make in alternative technologies in the next 1-2 years would be unfathomable. I think we underestimate the miracles mankind can do given strong incentives like this. Yet we are afraid to create these incentives because of our low faith in our own ability.
To be clear, I am no education expert either and it was my personal opinion. Maybe I have been around the people naturally good at math, and everyone found scratch clumsy and irritating than python. Python was pretty natural for them.

Or we prevent politicians from being bought out. Otherwise this can apply to anything and everything as it already does.

I am not an American but I think you have it back to front. It seems because they know the biggest customer (medicare) will have to pay what smaller customers pay, they simply charge huge amounts to the smaller customers.

From an economics perspective the demand curve is inelastic. Medicare will pay whatever the price is as long as there is one other buyer paying that price.
I'm under the impression that this isn't true if the currency is converted to a privacy coin first and then tumbled. Though of course if not done properly then the chain's state can be determined. Though I'm sure this is even more time consuming and expensive to determine.
I'm in my mid/late 50s, and had grandparents from Ireland, that is, I'm light skinned. As a kid my brothers and I would compete who could peel off the longest continuous strip of skin a day or two after going to the beach.

Anyway, the skin on my exposed arms looks like "old man" skin -- lots of blotches, and more importantly not elastic. However, the skin that lives under my short sleeves is not only unblemished, it is as elastic as when I was a teenager.

In short: yes, it will help against cosmetic damage as well as skin cancer.

Yes, this is a general argument against government. Government always tends towards corruption, so allowing it the total control of anything ends badly.
The point wasnt to only assign fault at engineers but to show that the problem is more broad then its the "governments fault" or "corporations fault." That we assign agency to these vast things but dont acknowledge individuals.

If someone sold drugs for rare artwork, would the government keep the artwork? Would they sell it? What if during trial a museum burns down and now this is the last painting buy the artist and the value skyrockets. Should the government let the person get a portion of that value?

If someone sold drugs for cash, and used the cash to buy a lottery ticket - should the government demand the cash or the ticket? What if the ticket ends up winning?

If someone sold drugs in addition to a legal business and invests all the profits into the SP500 should the government take the entire stock portfolio? A percentage equal to the amount of dirty money put in?

What if the person appeals and wins after the asset has been liquidated? How do you make that person whole again? Do you?

I can't believe this problem hasn't been figured out before crypto. Tbh it probably has, but because it's Bitcoin we will write an article about it.
Can someone explain to me why I should care about drug prices when they're covered by medicare (as a private person and an American, which I am not, thus asking).

It really depends what you mean by making it "beginner friendly".

A lot of work goes into refactoring and cleaning up code, making things cleaner, adding documentation, adding static and dynamic checkers for locks, memory errors, and various other things, making useful common data structures and code into libraries, inspection and debugging tools, reimplementing as much hand-coded assembly as reasonably possible in C, adding a staging area in the tree and moving to a distributed vcs, there are automated CI tests that get kicked off when you post a patch to a mailing list.

In my opinion it is far nicer to develop for, and a lot of code is far nicer to read than it was 20 or even 10 years ago. It's simpler to write some basic hello world filesystem or device driver module because APIs have become a lot cleaner and there are a lot more checks. It is also now far easier let's say to develop a high performance multi-queue block IO subsystem that is mostly lock free and can steer interrupts to specific CPUs based on context and have all the platform specific PCI and interrupt issues and the different memory ordering behaviors of different CPUs all just work. Linux already has one of those though.

Outside of device drivers and new hardware enablement for really simple device types or minor updates to an existing device type, what the kernel is doing now is vastly more complicated. So it is a lot of work to make a significant useful change. This isn't because there is no interest in making it beginner friendly, it's because a lot more of the "easy" things are done.

You're right! We should do a randomized controlled trial to make sure that "obvious dangers" like jumping out of a plane without a parachute are really a bad idea.

That's because startups (by no means all, but far too many) are often run by people with very little experience (technical or business) and so they cargo cult their practices from the big players. They lack the acumen to filter and fine-tune these practices to their actual needs and means.
