Dave Kleiman had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of Bitcoin.

Prior to his death Kleiman was IT support staff for a small county sheriff's department in Florida. He has no relevant expertise -- e.g. the only evidence of Kleiman ever writing any program ever was a simple visual basic script to automate checking the windows registry for forensic information. Literally the only thing remotely suggesting any connection is documents from Wright which are provably forged and created after Dave's death.

[Wright's forgeries tend to be extremely bad: Stuff like changing the year in emails but not fixing the day of the week and misspelling Dave's name -- in emails supposedly from Dave. Accidentally producing unmodified originals, citing laws that didn't exist until years later, using software versions that didn't exist until years later, referencing URLs on his own domain names that he didn't register until years later, accidentally producing "dave"'s private keys in discovery ... but they're also extremely numerous, so it's easy to get smothered under the total mass of them.]

Wright invoked his former friend in his scheme posthumously to solve a specific logistical problem: Wright himself can't program (certainly not in C/C++). So in his forgeries he included someone who couldn't contradict his stories so that Wright could beg off his inability to answer questions as "Dave did that part". Fortunately for Wright, it turned out that none of the eligible victims asked any hard questions. Unfortunately for Wright, Dave's family came after him for their share of the fortune Wright claimed they created together. Fortunately for Wright, Dave didn't actually help him (because neither had early involvement in Bitcoin). Unfortunately for Wright, all the easily proved forgeries in the case with the estate end up making it look like Wright is covering up the involvement to hide what he owes. Wright's frogurt is cursed, but also doesn't exist. (So that's good?)

Kleiman isn't the only deceased person that Wright involuntarily enlisted into his con-- Wright as also claimed that he was aided by Gareth Williams (some MI6 spy that was in the news at the time Wright started spinning this yarn) and David Rees -- an older academic who was disabled and unresponsive in a care home at the time Wright claimed to have been working with him.
Sure, there may be some larger process going on too -- but that has nothing to do with this. According to the article: SoftBank started "ARM China" as a joint venture with a Chinese consortium, and later sold more of it to them, so they now hold a controlling 51% interest in it. ARM China isn't "going rogue"; it's doing what its owners want it to do, just like a good obedient non-rogue subsidiary should. The article not mentioning this basic fact with a single word doesn't mean what's happening is weird; it means the article is bad.
The RISC-V folks are in the process of ratifying standards for vector processing ("V") and lightweight packed-SIMD/DSP compute ("P") that should make it easier to expand compatibility in these domains. As of now, these standards are not quite ready and Esperanto are still using proprietary extensions for their stuff.
Just to add this explicitly, to expand on some specifics, motorcycles have the added complexity of angular momentum and its effects. As you mention, turning the wheel effects your lean angle through angular momentum conservation. The cone then is the dominant factor causing the bike to turn.

The speed matters because as the speed is faster, a smaller angle change in the handlebars corresponds to a bigger sideways tilt motion of the bike.

Apparently I also still have a sense of humor. Or maybe I don't, because perhaps pretending one doesn't get the joke of doubling down on xkcd silliness is perhaps a joke in itself, which I didn't get.
My understanding is that many safety critical systems in Ada don’t allow for dynamic memory allocation or use of Unchecked_Deallocation. That’s fine for systems where much is known at compile time. We were building software that could simulate thousands of entities. There was a lot of dynamic allocation. As soon as someone calls Unchecked_Deallocation, all bets are off with regard to safety.
Well, at least this speaks well of him not having been a corrupt minister who stole whatever funds he could during his tenure and stashed them in portable or overseas wealth. I'd find it hard to believe him fleeing to Europe with much money and then deciding to work as a courier just for kicks or cover.

Yes, the cars' weight rests on the end of each axle via a "bogie" that holds the suspension and brakes and such, and then the multi-axle bogie itself rotates on a center pin:

Sometime in the last two years? maybe? it has become "Jeff Bezo's" instead of just "Blue Origin", in almost every headline. It's not an indefensible choice but that fact alone has an impact.

Suing about starlink (and other shit), the joyride to space, the sudden emergence of "Kessler syndrome" as a press matter just when it's convenient to his purposes, a history of scummy behavior... all those kinda have an impact too.

So where does the waste heat go??

That ice-making would violate the Law of Conservation of Energy. If you take heat-energy away from some water to make ice, you have all that heat-energy to put somewhere. Where exactly?

And, seeing that ice-making itself is not 100% efficient, the overall operation would melt more ice than it makes.

The whole idea smacks of cooling your house by leaving the fridge door open.
How could you possibly think that this makes it ethical? This is a troll-level comment, but somehow I think you're being earnest. Please sit back and reflect on what you're saying here.

This really raises the question, what is the role of a chaplain anymore?

At a school tolerant of religious diversity, I don't imagine a Christian chaplain would be of much help for explicitly religious matters for a Muslim student. Nor even would a Catholic chaplain be of much help to a Mormon on explicitly religious issues.

Part of me thinks this position is a bit of an anachronism in the current day. However I do know that chaplains provide a lot of value as councilors and "life guides" on a host of topics including moral ones for military members. And it often doesn't matter the religious beliefs of the chaplain in that context, they are often simply someone outside the chain-of-command who is credible on moral issues who is not obligated to report the things you tell them (e.g. suicidal thoughts, being a victim of sexual assault, etc.)
Sure, I wasn't suggesting it was an improvement. I also assumed the actual pattern isn't important in a strict sense, just as an indication of when and frequency?

But of course, in general either could be the case. And perhaps don't want to wear earphones (or disturb colleagues) etc. only meant it as an additional similar idea.

Most GC languages invented before Java went mainstream had value semantics as well actually, and this is one of language defects that .NET improved over Java.

Many forget that MSIL is like LLVM, having all semantics to compile C++, alongside GC.

Some of those capabilities weren't exposed to other .NET languages, however since C# 7 they have been improving it.

As of C#10, there is little left to do versus Modula-3 or D.
We are still facing challenges with the reliability of background syncs on iOS. There is a threat of the OS blocking our background tasks altogether and we end up having to be very conservative when it comes to uploading data in the background. Which a lot of times results in 0 files getting synced until the app is in the foreground. These constraints don't seem to apply to Apple Photos though.
> You were one of the people who had a comment edited in that 1 hour period mentioned in that news article?

No.

Or are you saying there was a different comment editing incident?

Yes. I have commented that they should try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine_(PaaS) but I guess they didn't click the link and then they have altered the meaning of my comment. At that point of time I was aware that Huffman have edited some comments in Reddit in the past, from the news. Thus I was not surprised.
I received my Helm v2 last week and it has worked great for Android photo backup and email subscriptions like substack. I have not been bold enough yet to move my primary email domain over yet. Apple mail and Fairmail on Android give a nice non-web email experience.

I like the product concept, the execution seems solid, and I like the auto update flow compared to manual update of most NAS products.

I really want this product when my kids get their first phone to keep their photos, calendar and emails off the cloud. At least until they can make the choice that they want that stuff being tracked.

Edit: Oh and I really like their user experience around creating generated device specific passwords for each client device (phone, laptop, etc) a user owns.
Sounds good!

In the future, if you'd like even more precise measurements, theoretically you could use 2 different frequencies or a reflected source, and look at the interference or superposition of the waves.

I'm by no means an expert in this, but I've heard that optical measurement (eg: laser + Michelson interferometer) could theoretically take you down to the nanometer range.

But it's easy to go overboard with this, haha.

Thanks for the detailed responses! Some more questions:

a) I note the pricing is somewhat higher than Google/Dropbox, which is fair. But is there a way to compress the media (esp. videos) before uploading it to conserve some storage? (I wish when Google still had unlimited 'high quality', it was possible to store photos in original and video in hi quality).

b) is there a way to detect duplicate photos, including of lesser quality, and only store the higher quality version? (E.g. photo comes from original device but also in a WhatsApp image folder because it was shared).

c) assuming search is on the roadmap based on feature detection, are there ways to find photos based on date/uploading device/camera/geolocation?
Georgia did two full recounts that didn't use machines[1]. It was observed by Republicans, Democrats, and independents, and it was organized by Republican state officials.

Fascinating that there is a hand crank somewhere on the machine. However this example is a tiny bit off as the point of failure in all the cases they mention in the paper were external power. I was asking more about redundancies in the equipment itself.
Although that's probably also because of the rise of "Elon Musk's SpaceX", which sets up the conflict with named people instead of companies. (And I guess maybe more mainstream headlines now, where Bezos name is the more well-known touch point?)

YouTube allowing creators to change Title and Thumbnails as many times as they want after a video has been uploaded, and providing realtime analytics after a change is what is driving this. They basically are constantly optimizing, until they find what sticks. The crap you describe obviously does very well. Veritasium does a great video on this.

As much as I enjoy quiet computing (finally!), I have to admit that all these noises (hard disk access, fans spinning up, etc.) provided important feedback. I could think of a thin, rather dimm light bar with various sections for indicating processor load, bus and IO and network activity, etc.

I've worked on a variety of vital systems including some in health care. We defined vital systems as severe injury or death could occur if the system failed or failed unsafely.

The article dharmab linked is pretty well known and I think does a fair job of describing one of the key differences. Redundancy, reliability, durability and safety are not all the same thing in vital systems. In web systems and many other types of systems which are software driven, being redundant is good enough, not true in vital systems.

It is critical each device being designed must define what it means for that device to be reliable, redundant (if necessary), durable and safe. In some medical systems failing to a known safe condition is all that is required, in others the device needs multiple redundant systems to prevent a failure under a defined set of normal circumstances.

In health care failure of systems does happen, when it happens there are processes and procedures defined to manage them generally. In almost every case when a machine fails there is a manual method to take over. I've not worked on the radiological side (outside of some CV work), but I would assume they have separate systems monitoring exposures and causing fail safe shutdowns etc. That is generally the requirement (and common pattern) for any medical device that isn't supporting life, e.g. if it fails it needs to fail in a known safe state.

Honestly this is a huge topic I could ramble for a long time about, but in the end it comes down to defining requirements, defining outcomes, defining testing, testing and good processes to handle failure conditions.
can I point out that the person writing this article is making money by pointing you to their "how to make money" article, which is pretty much the exact thing they warn you about?
All fine for Big Tech workers, but let's not forget about the large array of others who work in more "pedestrian" parts of the IT industry, ie those working for enterprise shops who are still working through the early stages of cloud adoption.

I do wish access times were disabled by default. In my experience, they don't generally provide any useful information, but place unneeded stress on the storage.

No, the case is not having their model. I understand it's a game of cat and mouse, but this one case is gonna have a very quick iteration cycle, so I'm not sure if it's worth trying at all, it's not the same thing to test an adversarial attack on a self driving car once.

7% is insane when you can do the same thing with banks for free.

Also, your bank and credit cards don't just give you free purchases. They pay you to use their cards in the form of guarantees, safeguards from fraud, and points.

> Six decades ago, Fred Schwed wrote a book called Where Are the Customers' Yachts? The title came from a story about a visitor in New York more than a century ago. After admiring yachts Wall Street bought with money earned giving financial advice to customers, he wondered where the customers' yachts were. Of course, there were none. There is far more money in providing financial advice than there is in receiving financial advice.

> The title is as relevant today as it was back then. There are few industries that pay themselves so much for doing so little as financial services.

I know it's uncool to do this, but I'm gender-swapping it and I simply can't imagine someone making a statement like this regarding statutory rape and being able to keep their job afterward:

> "There’s no such thing as consensual sex when you are supervising someone, regardless of their age, but the reality of it is that some of the girls in prison are very persuasive and some of the men are very persuasive,"

These boys are being raped. It doesn't matter if they're perceived to be instigators, it is incumbent upon the staff to show them that there are boundaries that should not be crossed.

At the very least, juvenile victims of sexual assault are more likely to become adult perpetrators. Tolerating rapists operating as guards in male prisons will likely result in the creation of future rapists.
People do, of course, create new vocabulary, but that's not modifying language on a deep level. And, in part that's a convenience: even when you don't have a "word" for something, you can generally describe it. But if it's something you're going to refer to frequently having a nice lexical entry for it is more convenient. We have memory limitations, so sometimes having convenient handles can free up resources.

And your example, I think, also speaks to the point: you're able to reason in mathematical ways; being a speaker of English doesn't block this, even though English perhaps doesn't offer convenient vocabulary for this in all cases.

I used many old school forums in the pre-social media days. "Mature voices and thoughtful people" were quite rare.
/If/ it was meant to be a joke. It can easily have not been one: it can easily have been unaware and/or insensitive of the expressed four points and more - many people are (see the diffusion of the "nothing to hide" stance). The content you called "absurd" is pretty literal.

The unawareness of the importance of privacy even as a cautionary stance is spread even in the learned, some convinced that we live in a riskless fair world of free thought and expression without consequence - there are people of prominent intellectual profile vocal against online pseudonyms, for example. There are political representatives proponents of the end of online anonymity.

So, no, when somebody makes those statements about child abuse and drug trafficking, they may not be joking.

The first Gotlands were launched in 1995, and I'm fairly certain that German-made diesel subs (Type 209s) were being retrofitted with Stirling engines well before the Gotlands begin construction in 1992.
I'm in automotive, but we have similar requirements to medical.

There's no "100% fail proof" solution, it's about determining the modes of failure and addressing them individually and combined, minimizing the risk and defining an acceptable level of it. If you accept that failures are inevitable, which they are, some are likely, some vary rare, you can prepare for them via redundancies, fault tolerant design, etc.. It's also about doing proper system design and performing certain methodologies such as "Failure modes, effects, and diagnostic analysis" (FMEDA)[1], "Fault Tree Analysis" (FTA)[2] and accounting for those.

There are standards like IEC 61508[3], or its automotive adaption ISO 26262, with which certain engineering disciplines and fields must be audited against in order to pass certifications and be able to market the product. In case of ISO 26262 it's not mandatory (will be soon), but good luck explaining any judge or jury why are you the only company in the existence not applying it in your vehicle design.
