do not address any of my points. It sounds like “It’s as silly for me to write about urology […], I know nothing about urology […] urologists don’t write software […] I urinate everyday so I’m going to say something about urology […] blablabla”
I was on the ISO standard body for a short time on this. Not sure how much impact I had, but I advocated for this. There were also proposals for letting you only disclose subsets of information, although I don't know the state of that adoption. This would, for example, let you present your verified ID at a supermarket for restricted items purchase without disclosing anything other than that you are of a sufficient age and a photo (no name, address, etc).

RDW (the Dutch DMV, except allowed to be technologically competent) allowed the excellent prototype work that they funded (built by engineers at UL) to be open-sourced (https://github.com/mDL-ILP).
Yeah. I've been able to do this for years. Not immediately, but with some concentration and focus when standing in front of a mirror. Works probably 75-80% of the time.

So, "impossible feat"... how would they even think that?
Did they get sudo rights? I doubt that if Linux Desktop really comes if there won't be same or bigger amount of crap on it. Or bad instructions just bricking it... After social part the attacks are pretty trivial. Copy this nice command line thing that downloads all the crap from Internet...
In general you're correct though the US was probably a special case during WW2.

The US benefited enormously from being the only industrial power to end the war with no significant loss of territory or industrial capacity. Casualties were also relatively light with only 0.32% of the population dying due to the war.

During the war making use of women and other groups that normally wouldn't have been working would have also offset some of the production losses incurred by sending young men off to fight.
It is already implemented. You need to use a VPN.

If they want to verify my age, that is fine.
But I'm not fine with using credit cards, they where never meant for that and that is a hackish solution.
Not a fan of photo id's either, I've used that once, and it was a ridiculous blast from the past.
We have proper electronic id's where I live, so used that or nothing.
Its largely a political issue in which the republican party claims fraud is rampant without voter IDs but simultaneously makes it difficult for poor people to get them. In many locations they're not free. In some, like Georgia I think, it is free, but you still need to gather documents and go to a DMV and register, which is, frankly, difficult to do when you're poor and don't have a car.

The effect of requiring voter IDs when they're not free AND easy to acquire is disproportionately preventing the poor from voting vs. stopping fraud.
Certainly off topic, but gotta say I prefer “MADDLESS” over “MADDNESS” for being more… obvious. It still sounds close enough to me, but again I might be just letting my Southern-Chinese ear loose with the n/l confusions…

150+ Open Data Tools on GitHub
This is a hand-curated list of open source data tools that have come in handy for me.

Drop a comment if you're like, huh I didn't see X project, this way we are all aware of the excellent tooling that exists!

I think it's so important to understand the problem that you're trying to solve first, but just as important as that, is knowing the tools that exist, how to use them, and those that will get you there 10x faster, 10x less cost, and 10x less friction .

I do hope this list helps! Last, if you think it would help, I am thinking about writing an article about the top 25 repo's (shortlist) that you should be watching or using in 2022!
Good point. Another issue is how many people outside the US have gotten disposable income over the last 50 years. Those people all can now invest some of their income, creating massive demand for investments.

Like what robinhood did, but at a much larger scale.

Which isn't anything to do with income inequality, in fact it's about how many many people have gotten richer in the world recently.

This has been an issue for some months now and has led me to think that it’s already almost too late to save content worth saving from the siloization of YouTube (age restriction also kills youtube-dl).

And were such a study published, why wouldnt it be printed in the BBC?

per the article's central thesis. If Income inequality changes direction births will rise.
THIS is what strikes me as the use case for this, and 100% absolutely not using it with any interaction with the law. Preferably the only way I ever go through any law interaction with my phone on me is if it's turned off, or at the very very least have used the emergency function to disable Touch ID/Face ID which also discards the transient keys for decrypting storage (and no I don't use iCloud Backup or iCloud Photos). Smartphones and computers at this point fare essentially exocortexes, but the law does not protect them the same way it protects the contents of our minds.

However, there are lots and lots and lots of private interactions where cryptographic assertable proof of identity would be enormously valuable and a big win for privacy, fraud reduction etc, but the other party certainly has zero right or capability to demand your device, go through it and use force against you based on what they find there. Not just in retail but particularly online the state of identity verification in the US is just fucking abysmal even now. Common workarounds include stuff like literally taking a photo of your government ID and then emailing it, which of course is terrible in every respect.

From the description and example screen it appears this offers reasonably fine-grained information options. So if there was a secure generally available API ala Apple Pay wherein sites could simply request the minimum needed like age verification and address verification (obviously I'm supplying the address anyway to have things shipped, but this would help assert that yes that was my address) that could be quite valuable if still imperfect.
> I find the idea that everyone needs an address is outdated and harmful at least to some groups.

The #1 thing the USPS could have done to retain customers would be to have an actual sane forwarding service. I just had a company I worked at 10 years ago call me for an updated address because I had mail that kept going there after being returned from an address I had 5 years ago...

I wish I could just tell the USPS my current address, and instead just list an address for leters that would forward to my actual address.

(yes this exists as a forwarding service, but we could skip all that)

I've heard of inverse kinematics but I think it's more focused on "modeling" than statistics/probability? That is, you would have to model each muscle?

If you want to suggest your own version of the Midwest, preface your claims that you are straying from ordinary/conventional usage. If you don't know what the Midwest is, allow me to inform you.

Chicago is the center of the Midwest, geographically and culturally. Always has been. Draw a big circle around Chicago, and that's roughly your Midwest states. Another good proxy for the Midwest is to look at the original members of the Big 10 athletic conference.

Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, and Minnesota are the Midwestern states. Maybe some of Nebraska and the edge of Kansas and Missouri, but that's as far as it goes.

But ML relies on GPUs with lots of parallelism, so e.g. O(N^3) becomes O(N^2) for N smaller than the number of cores (roughly speaking).
re #1 - to be fair, even if you have to use `unsafe`, it's not that bad [1]:
unsafe struct FixedBufferExample
{
public fixed int _buffer[1024]; // This is a fixed buffer.
}

Sure, you need to be careful, but given that you'd be doing systems programming anyway, you probably would prefer to have explicit control over bounds checking, since the compiler/JIT is (unfortunately) not sophisticated enough yet to elide bounds checking in many cases.

Well, aren't you "loaning" the bank your money when you put it in an account? If everyone wanted to withdraw all the money from all their accounts at once the bank would be unable to pay; you get paid interest because you take on slight risk.
The Pitfalls of Media Literacy
How do you want a savings bank to invest?

Government bonds? Corporate bonds? Stocks? Crypto?

Are you willing to cover their potential losses with government guarantees?

Savings accounts are supposed to be a safe storage of money. They have certain insurance guarantees because of that. Encouraging banks to use that money to speculate is exactly what you don’t want them to do. Savings banks are not known to employ the most brilliant investment minds.
The priorities we have are so whack. We should be verifying age for social media usage. Minors shouldn’t be allowed to destroy their digital personas with incriminating posts.
I don't even think its advertisement revenue, an more. I think its entirely a fatigue with political and social pressure.

Its so much easier to let go of your beliefs when it just becomes far too painful to keep fighting politicians and public scrutiny. Scares investors, hurts your staff, and I guess hurts revenue.

Typically better because the phone is locked & the data is stored within the SE, which puts it out of reach for most people. The proposal (not sure if adopted) was also that these have extremely short expiration times (like on the order of a month) so that you need to resign the credentials through the government body regularly. This further limits the damage - just report the device is stolen. This should put it on the revocation list & will prevent the government issuer from reissuing the ID (this also keeps the revocation lists shorter as they can be pruned).
This is a great write-up, not just for the ostensible goal (more privacy and security with maintainable infrastructure) but also because it lays out some reusable primitive for other “home lab” type projects.

The next stop down this fun slippery slope is kubernetes :)

That said, it also is worth mentioning NextDNS as an option. It basically is “pihole as a service” and is reasonably affordable. I ended up going that route to achieve similar goals as to the author and have been happy with it.

There are plenty of cases where exceeding the requirement is cheaper / easier / simpler than to try to match it more closely because you have some common and standard, hence cheaper, parts available.

Democratic party has relatively poorer voters. Some of these voters do not want to take off and get their voter Id, because if they do, they will loose their wages for the day.
Republican party wants to make IDs mandatory so that these guys won't come and vote.

If you look at percentages, these voters will be less than 1% of the electorate...but important American election results are decided by a single county or a few 1000 votes, so these issues make a lot of headlines. In India, the victory margin is higher, so it doesn't make headlines yet

Before Building a Connector App on Shopify You Should Know
If you are planning on building a Connector App on Shopify, you should know you must have the company you are connecting Shopify with also agree to Shopify’s API terms and conditions.

For example, if you are building an app to connect Shopify to Google Merchant, you will need to get Google to agree to Shopify’s API terms (https://www.shopify.com/legal/api-terms). As you can imagine, this is next to impossible.

Surprisingly, Connector Apps already approved and in the Shopify store have not yet had to abide by this requirements (only new submissions). We recently had ours rejected for this reason, so just want to give everyone a heads-up.

It is become ever more difficult to develop for the Shopify App Store.

Semiconductor Foundry Revenue Reaches New Historical High
I can see the logic of this statement, and it is in line with a lot of economic thinking... but I disagree with the jist.

First, the "price of money," is not set by markets if by "price of money" we mean interest rates. Interest rates are set by a central bank, which is a monopoly. IE, only the ECB can make euros. Only the Fed can make dollars. Exchange rates are set by the market, but the interest rate is a decision made in a boardroom. Money is not a commodity, like other commodities. It's price (interest rates) is not determined by supply and demand. It's determined by monopoly price setting.

Pegged currencies work the opposite way. CBs set the exchange rate, but they can't control interest rates. You could make the argument that the "price of money" is represented by exchange rates in the former, interest rates in the latter. But semantics aside, I think it's important to start with a recognition that CBs set interest rates as they see fit in most major currency markets today. Fed interest rates are not market determined.

This is also (a not unrelated) thing that has changed since 1980. There was also a shift from pegged and semi-pegged currencies to floating exchange rates.

Second, interest rates are not the actual return on savings in most cases. Most "savings" are in assets. Pension portfolios, private wealth funds, real estate, etc. These are the returns that "justify forgoing consumption," not interest rates. Returns on such investments have been high in recent years. CB interest rates translate relatively directly into the cost of borrowing, and the cost of repaying old debts. Interest rates do not determine the return on savings.

Third, and this is where Thomas Picketty makes his controversial points... there is not much give in the "money now vs money later" market. For the most part, ordinary people spend their income. Wealthy people save/invest their money. When wages rise, the volume or price of goods may rise. When investment returns rise, the value of assets rise and inequality is increased. Regardless of profits, losses, taxes or such, Bezos' lifestyle will not change. Only the value of his assets will change. At the extreme end, poor people spend all their money and have no assets. Rich people save all their money and have negligible spending.

The fact that market returns, the real "savings rate" have been high has not, on average, encouraged middle class guy to save more.

That said, if you aren't already, you may interested in Hayek. His most famous work is all about interest rates as prices, and choosing between money now and money later. I disagree, at least in regards to 2021, but he was a clear writer and worth looking up.
