"a subset of the x-y plane with a large cardinality need be neither measurable nor of large measure. For example, the entire plane with its 2^ℵ0 elements has an infinite measure."

This should be ℵ0^2, since we are talking about plane defined by two axes, x * y, each with measure ℵ0, so the measure becomes ℵ0 * ℵ0 = ℵ0^2, which is the same as ℵ0, right?

Edit: maybe they don't mean elements as points in plane, but subsets of the plane, in which case the statement would apply?
Same old same old?

It's a big part of the history. Linux has been compared to its competitors all along after all.

I remember FreeBSD being ever present all along. Ultimately, Linux won on many fronts, the biggest one maybe the vast hardware/driver support.

I've used both extensively in the 90's and early 2000's, both on the server and workstation side. Ultimately settling 100% on Linux around 2004-5.

Still, competition on this space is very healthy. Who wants an OS monoculture?
The choice is not black-and-white as you insist. Yes public policy pronouncements ("get vaccinated") must be simple and unequivocal, but my personal, informed, personal-biology choices do not need to be so.

Further, governments and big pharma have made huge mistakes or have perpetrated ulterior motives ask through their history. Recent science is no more immune to politicking and groupthink than the hamfisted past.

I'll rationally take my natural immunity as sufficient and not alter my biology further and superfluously with an experimental, non-recourse drug.

Side-effect databases severely systematically underreport mild chronic harm, such as, who knows, a couple points of IQ decline or vascular damage in certain internal organs. No thanks. I'll avoid the untestable hypothesis that the my harm is worth the societal good.
How could this be combatted? I assume just through legislation and possibly some type of random audit or bounty system to catch violators?

Or could it be beaten by high privacy browsers like Brave and a system of shuffling through and sharing random anonymous online identities with strangers like Tor does with IP?

Just to confuse the hell out of the ad platforms…

What would the legislation even be though?
Thank you for this thoughtful response! I think I see what you mean how values are not necessarily universal and that imposing them across cultures can go very very wrong. You’re totally right that we don’t have to look past the last several weeks’ world news for examples.

As a “value” democracy gets tricky. What does it mean exactly? Even within the US it takes on many contradictory forms. And why does democracy matter? Is it a worthy value simply because it’s the least bad political system? That’s not very universal as a reason, and surely not a good reason to make war.

Where I suppose I diverge is that I think freedom of expression (and, inextricably, guarantees of privacy) actually are universal values that cross whatever kind of boundary. What has nationality to do with it? Call me a myopic American but its hard for me to accept the idea that freedom of speech could be a culturally specific value.

Now should we enforce values with coercion? Generally I think you and I agree that we shouldn’t. But information technology (and, to a great extent, strong cryptography) provides an enormous (peaceful) opportunity to durably promote those values at an anthropocene scale.

Maybe nobody externally taught these values in the formation of the US, but it’s maybe also worth remarking that the formation greatly benefited from an unusually free press for that time period.

Their response to any such demands would be (and has been) "we don't have the capability to do what you're asking".

No judge is going to burden them to spend their own dime to build a massive new feature like this and deploy it to every phone out there to comply with a demand arising from a prosecutor of an individual case.

Government does not care one bit about how much it costs or if it is even possible. They demand the data with an ultimatum: deliver it as we requested by our deadline or we send in our IT people to take it.

The Jan 6 commission is using the riots as a pretext to collect and inspect private speech/communications from a huge list of people who had absolutely nothing to do with January 6 [0] but were politically active for Trump or his campaign or just posted memes on Twitter etc.

The massive list of people they're demanding records for is shocking. Privacy doesn't mean anything to the current establishment, if people could just take off their partisan blinders for two seconds they would realize this and we could probably form a plea to congress as unified voice.

Give this CSAM system another few years and they won't even have to subpoena for most of the private communication they're already going after today.

Their response to such demands has not been we are technically incapable of doing what’s requested. The demand from the FBI in the San Bernardino case was a very small change to passcode retry constants, because the terrorist’s device did not have a Secure Element.

Which laws?

I'm uncomfortable enough with US laws or Australian laws deciding what images are "illegal" to have on my phone.

But China also have laws. And Iraq. And Saudi Arabia.

And Afghanistan had one set of laws last month, but new different laws since then.

Multinational Corps may like to think they've lifted themselves above petty regional political and legal pressure from elected governments and regional law enforcement. But Apple is 100% capable of being destroyed by either of China or the USA. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves. If you shut down Apples manufacturing in China, or head office and server farms in the US, they'd be finished.
In men, there are complications with your body’s natural testosterone production. If you inject test (the most basic anabolic steroid) then in order to maintain a sort of homeostasis, your body will lower its natural test production. The same goes for any other anabolic steroid, as they are all test derivatives.

As a result, when you end your cycle, your body needs to restart its natural test production. There can be a delay while this happens and it leads to unpleasant, though temporary, side effects, like weight gain and a loss of sexual appetite. This can be mitigated somewhat by taking estrogen regulators such as Clomid, which is a prescription drug for women.

Anyway, the upshot of all this is injecting steroids in men is sort of complicated. For your rehab scenario, your doctor would have to monitor your test and estrogen levels as you end your cycle. For moderate cycles like with your calf rehab, the dangers are vastly overblown in the media, but the short-term side effects can be bothersome.

Note that women don’t face these issues and indeed women can take convenient oral steroids like eg Winstrol without having to inject test to compensate for their natural production getting shut down, because they hardly have any natural production to begin with. Indeed, ethics aside, the arguments for women to do a very moderate cycle for your rehab scenario or just athletic performance are pretty strong.
> "The greater benefit for society" is actually negative if you've been confirmed to have natural immunity.

No, it's not. The very linked article and many others agree that people exposed to both scenarios have more effective, longer lasting immunity than the ones affected by either scenario individually.

And the adverse effect risk of a vaccine is not a lottery. At this point with billions of people vaccinated around the world, the risk profiles are pretty accurate, the side effects very well known and unless you are a kid under 18, all vaccines being widely distributed in western countries - which are the ones I cared to do any research on - are effectively zero risk.
This says that natural immunity is 18x better. There is virtually no need for the vaccine.
Your comment makes no economic sense to me. At what point in time did workers ever get paid in terms of how much revenue their company had per employee? If that were the case grocery clerks should be earning 6 figures.
> I imagine as the extra added-cost of pollution gets funneled back to the producers, they will have a financial incentive to adjust their processes to pollute less

I imagine the added-cost gets passed on to the consumer.
I had the same thought, but I just started messing around with Pico8.
Technically speaking, no there isn’t. It’s just a little bit if metadata you’re sticking on an already long tail of metadata that they’re doing as they index.
So - twice the cost of the war in Afghanistan per year, after financing is calculated?
Sfba is one of the most expensive areas. The 250k tc number is completely reasonable for sr level (~10yoe) engineers here especially if they changed jobs in the pst few years. If that’s your family’s single source of income you can barely afford a mortgage here.
> Kentucky residents who were not vaccinated had 2.34 times the odds of reinfection compared with those who were fully vaccinated.

Simple. Not vaccinated != infected previously

Those who are both not vaccinated, and not previously infected, will raise that number significantly.
Malaysia is very doable as a single person. Everyone speaks English, lots of good food. Coliving spaces were quite popular before the pandemic, where some entrepreneurs would rent an apartment and work together, but I don't know where you'd meet people like that.

Foreign visas are also quite loose. You could get an entrepreneurship visa (see the MDEC site). There's a rapidly growing games and animation industry too, so you might be able to find people you'd like to work with.
> If the virus never really gets to take off, you won't be spreading it to others.

That might be true for some virii, but unfortunately not for sars-cov2. It became clear early on that asymptomatic and low-symptom infected people can spread the virus. And there's evidence that vaccinated people-- who can still be infected, but are less likely to fall ill-- can spread it as well.
I quite prefer discord over lots of other solutions (slack or zoom). But their place as a forum is interesting and you make an excellent point for the concern that it pushing lots of good content out of the public web and into private spaces. I wonder if discord could add a feature that publishes chat logs in a way that could be crawled by search engines.
This is known as the Wait Calculation (sometimes referred to as the Wait/Walk problem) but it only applies to scenarios where a better option B, if done later, can overtake an inferior option A; for example a future spacecraft might be able to beat a less advanced craft to its destination, rendering the first a waste of resources. In the case of carbon capture though, the results are additive: whatever carbon an inneficient gen 1 plant removes before gen 2 is developed will remain removed when you go to implement gen 2, and any number X gen 2 plants plus Y gen 1 plants as well will always outperform just X gen 2 plants. Now if you were putting money (or some comparable resource) into escrow to be used for future carbon capture plants and the total resources allocated to carbon capture were fixed, it might make sense to save it for those better gen 2 plants, but for the moment no such system is in place.
Most importantly, people are arguing that there is new technical risk, so a difference in intent or beneficiaries is not relevant for that argument.

Great question - Carbfix seems to be saying they already achieve $30/ton, which is already more than 10x better 5-6 hundred per ton the article cited as a goal. I'm confused.
I mean, as soon as the platform IPOs, I'm going to move to something else. It is the way.
What was the real relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates?
Uhhh... Is that the only metric by which a vaccine is evaluated?
Functionally yes: If apple receives an administrative subpoena to turn over the unfiltered initial matches, then they'll be divulged without further processing. Literally, presumably not, otoh they've outright lied about this system already but I wouldn't think it likely. And when your privacy is compromised your situation will not be improved because the material that mislead you happened to be "technically true".

Couple things of note, outside of the vaccinated vs natural infection debate:

First, even group with the largest infection rate was still under 1.5% in all applicable models. Whether immunity is achieved via vaccine or natural immunity, it appears that it will overwhelmingly prevent you from being re-infected. There's obviously a ton of variables here (are vaccinated individuals being overly cautious or reckless after vaccination, are natural infections more likely to receive repeat exposures to build immunity, etc).

Second, by my count there were a total of ~106k-152k subjects observed in that study across all groups and models (not sure if there is overlap between models). Across all subjects, only 34 hospitalizations were reported, and there were no recorded deaths. A hospitalization rate of <= 0.032% is pretty damn impressive. Zero deaths is phenomenal.

Finally, across all models the only factors outside of immunity type affecting reinfection were socio-economic status and age > 60. Comorbidities don't appear to affect the chance of reinfection, though I'm sure a breakthrough infection/re-infection would still likely be more severe in cases with co-morbidities.
Not exactly the same, but that quote reminded me of quote from the Donnie Darko movie: “everyone dies alone” [0]. I believe this is very much true.

> it also seems wrong that assets gained through criminal activities are now being paid out completely clean to the convicted criminal.

That's the key indeed. I think I get it now! Anyway, the simple thing would be counting btc if btc is confiscated and counting cars if cars are confiscated. Then I don't see how it could blow up, but I guess it just can't be that simple.
The Tandy 2000 had monochrome and color display options that plugged into separate ports. They had the same resolution (640x400, high for 1983!) and if you plugged in both a monochrome and color monitor, typically they would be clones of each other (but without color on the mono display). At least one program (AutoCAD) knew how to show different things on each display: AutoCAD would show the drawing in graphics mode on the color display, while keeping the mono display in text mode to display a full screen of command line logs rather than the three lines at the bottom a single-display configuration would show.

In the late 80s and early 90s, it was relatively common for designers, engineers, and other professionals who worked with graphics to have a workstation with a Number Nine card installed alongside an ordinary EGA or VGA card. The Number Nine could do high resolution (1280x1024) and color depth, but was incompatible with standard PC video adapters except for CGA through emulation. When attached as a secondary card, programs with driver support could do the fancy graphics on it while presenting menus and UI on the primary EGA/VGA card.

Number Nine boards were AWESOME in their day. Instead of writing to a frame buffer, you pushed a display list to the card which it would then draw -- fast. A sort of proto-GPU.
Not sure what that is meant to convey except scorn. Discord's UI works fine for lots of us and I don't see any relationship with Chuck-E-Cheese here.

You are a name caller. There are downsides to getting the vaccine. I know people who were down and out with side effects to the vaccine for a week. If this is accurate, then people who had covid are 18x protected vs those vaccinated.

Maybe we should introduce a covid card and only let those with them into restaurants. After all, it is likely that the combination of the reopening and breakthrough caused the spike.

Since reading about olivine beaches, I don’t understand why DAC makes any sense. Can anyone explain why we would want to build machines to slowly capture it from the air compared to letting natural processes capture it from the oceans?
> Making CSAM illegal isn't merely about preventing the material from being publicly visible. Having a ring of child abusers privately circulating CSAM outside of clearnet by using Tor or by exchanging thumb drives is just as damaging of an act to law enforcement agencies, because it means the market can still exist in a different environment. There will always be other ways to distribute CSAM, but what the law sees as within its reach in order to prevent the spread of CSAM to the greatest extent possible is to pressure companies that offer user data storage into increasing the amount of scanning for such material.

How do you know what "the law" sees as being within its reach? Law enforcement and rights are always going to be at odds with each other.

> Unfortunately this is a matter of public opinion, and there are many people out there that would argue instead that we need to give up some amount of privacy in order to better protect the human population.

I don't really care so much about this hypothetical public opinion. Refrain from using this unknowable nebula of consensus to argue your points for you. Even if there is massive consensus that would not change my argument that it is wrong.

If a company has no means of which to know what is stored on their servers, they have no reason to presume that it is illicit material, even if it in fact is. Removing those liabilities by restricting what Apple can know has been how Apple's been operating for quite some time. Even this implementation could be argued that this is what Apple is attempting to do. The issue is that ultimately, Apple is installing software on your device to work only as adversary to its user by violating their privacy.

> What are the names of these companies? Are you sure there isn't a clause in their terms of service stating they will give up your data to law enforcement if requested, including the contents of encrypted files?

By definition if the third party can decrypt your files it is not end to end encrypted, the third party in this case being Apple. Many files upload to iCloud already are encrypted but since Apple also has access to the key it can decrypt and examine the contents of the files on its servers. With E2EE the only person with access to the private key would be yourself. They could certainly hand over the encrypted files and if law enforcement gained access to your private key they could then decrypt those files, but (hypothetically) not until after they've obtained the private key.

I have the same problem reading emails on my small screen phone. This in spite of the fact that emails contain a text representation of the message in addition to the formatted version. The default mail client on iPhones can be improved a lot but it doesn’t look like it’s getting any attention at all.

This is the part of the thread where we bikeshed a bit over the name of an app.
For comparison, the Gross World Product is about $90 Trillion, so a global sales tax of about 3% would cover the lower figure.

Another way to look at it is that the GWP has an average growth rate of over 3%, so economic growth could continue even if the $3 Trillion spent per year was considered economically unproductive.

Small price? Are we talking about the same thing? There are many millions of infants and small children that have appeared in photos and film. How much compensation do you think each should be awarded? How much might that add up to?

Going forward, do you propose we ban all infants and small children in movies and photographs? Do I need to apologize for letting my kids watch Look Who's Talking because its main characters were infants?
Yeah, to me that is just conveying a total lack of awareness and tech snobbery. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of adults using Discord.
