In comic-book voice, then: what would an intelligence agency or police force's response to a suspect known to be using Tor be?

Traffic analysis, at a cost, could establish that the suspect is using Tor.

TorMetrics shows slightly more than 1,250 currently-running Tor exit nodes. I'll presume this is typical, history shows it's pretty consisten over the past 3 months.

https://metrics.torproject.org/relayflags.html?start=2021-06...

I'm going to presume that a court could conceivably issue an order to log all Tor-based traffic. A state actor / APT might then be able to correlate a known IP and traffic at a given point in time with other data to identify a source IP. This might be combined with other measures to encourage circuit-jumping until the suspect is on a specific known or monitored Tor circuit.

Yes, costs increase. I don't see this as technically infeasible, however.

Might not be rolled out just for a house-squatter, however.
> can you change your opinion at will? Can you right now choose to believe people are not responsible for their situation in life?

Yes and yes.

But there are consequences to the opinion you choose. If you choose to believe you have no responsibility for your situation, odds are pretty good you'll have a life of mediocrity and failure.

I don't know where you're getting these numbers. They seem way on the low end. If you're going by CDC tracked cases (seems like 12% there, 40m cumulative cases/328m pop=12%?) to infer the total number of people infected then you're making a huge error. I'd also point out that the CDC said earlier this year that it would not track asymptomatic/minor cases among the vaccinated (bad decision IMHO).

I also think extrapolating from those numbers to 10 years doesn't make sense given the multiple variables involved.

> With all the gender equality campaigns going on these times, why is this issue getting so little attention? It relates to a huge number of people.

Because they're not writing endless reams of opaque masturbatory papers about how oppressed they are. Because they're not a visible minority, as ironic as that is. Because a lot of the sustained outrage for equity isn't actually about the number of people being oppressed.
Yes, that is the promise. Try it for a while, you'll see what I mean.
Perhaps the whole notion that there exists some path to financial freedom that anybody can pursue is just misleading wishful thinking.

There are some paths that lead to financial freedom, but most of them have some barriers that not everybody will overcome; and universally applicable suggestions (like the financial literacy suggestion) may be helpful and make people a bit less poor, but they are not going to have a sufficiently large effect to lift someone out of poverty and into financial freedom; that will need a bit more and that "a bit more" might not be feasible for all people.
It's not about newness; it's about things that are obviously wrong when one thinks about it, like space combat being just like WW1 / WW2 naval warfare except with spacecraft. Mr. Stross is musing over whether it's possible to do space opera without omitting the "science" part of "science fiction".

Another way of saying the same thing is enough people just havent died to justify the cost. We can't keep reasoning about how to safely build cities by how much money is justifiable. It's madness.

It's kind of an abuse of the term. The technical definition is a storm that according to historical records has a 1% chance of happening in any given year. So you'd expect to see it at least once in 100 years. As climate change increases the severity of all types of weather those level of storms will get more common than in the past in a hard to predict way. The storm percentages are also based on the historical record instead of future predictions so it will inherently lag behind the expected increasing storm frequency/intensity.
I don't know what it's called when in crime related tv or movies the connections between all the people of interest are illustrated by putting their pictures on a board and linking them with bits of ribbon ?

It's not easy when it comes to colour pallets. I have tritanopathy - full on yellow-blue blindness - in my left eye. Thankfully my right eye is able to "fill in the blanks" for the most part, but there are times I really notice it.

For example, at night green and blue lights from the traffic lights and the bus are the same colour - teal. I only know this because my right eye can see the blue properly, but if my vision is partially obstructed (visible only to left eye), I can't tell the difference. The bus line has probably never considered that in their choice of blue lights at night could be an issue for anyone with sight. But people with tritanopathy won't be able to see the difference between a stoplight "Go" signal and the bus, except of course by context.

CRDT is just a fancy term for the strategy that still has to eventually merge data. In case of CRDT the data organized / designed in a way that makes it easier. The keyword here is "merging" which by definition kills "infinite" scalability.

Qlder here.

I and my bubble all use the app.

The alternative was writing personal details on a sheet of paper that was open to the public. In some cases, it was used for remarketing.

Not sure if I read the article correctly, but my understanding was the opposition and current state governments condemned the use of the data for police use, as they should.

It’s utterly short sighted to do otherwise.
I sometimes wonder... Do the leaders of such corrupt states think that is a better way to run things, and if so why? I might guess it's as simple as "anything else would be worse for me personally" but that seems to simplistic for a guy like Putin. And if they dont think it's better, then why not change it? Inertia? Backlash? Don't know how to get there from here?

In this case, it's not the rush to excuse that is dangerous, it's the rush to accuse that is dangerous. Innocent until proven guilty is a fundamental principle of justice. You have not demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that this is in fact the doing of a racist, so anyone coming up with plausible alternative explanations is only doing so to prevent the discussion from devolving into a witch hunt where the guilt of the accused is simply assumed and our biases and perceptions stand in for evidence. Repeat the witch hunt scenario often enough and eventually you end up with a boy who cried wolf scenario and now you've lost your credibility even in cases where you do have evidence to back up your claims.

When people are careless in making accusations that's incredibly damaging to society. You as a black person should know how divisive and damaging false allegations can be, since that was a tool racists used to instill racial hostility in society. Let's not repeat those mistakes. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist or that we shouldn't do anything about it, but knowing in your heart of hearts that this must have been an act of deliberate racism is simply not enough. We need a smoking gun, or else it's best to withhold judgment.

The fact that no one thinks the mislabeling by the AI is acceptable should be enough. That shows you that no one would defend a person who deliberately designed this. The 'rush to excuse' is not because society doesn't want to condemn racism, but because most of society still cares about fairness and not making false accusations.
I had no idea. Is there anything that's open source, or is it all still being kept proprietary?
Ivermectin isn't a magic cure for covid or there wouldn't be so many trials showing it doesn't work. Even if future studies prove its useful the effect size is small. So other mitigation efforts will continue.

I got through about the first paragraph.

> If Albert Einstein were alive today, he might well say that we are living through an age of boundless chance.

Is this what constructive journalism is? Inventing quotes?

> After all, he was said to have uttered, ‘In the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity’, and there seems to be no end to crises at the moment.

Okay, the fictitious attribution is based on an apocryphal one? Also, opportunity isn't the same thing as chance - please be careful with your thesaurus.

> The coronavirus pandemic, accelerating and intensifying climate change, debilitating cyberattacks, doubts about the health of democracy.

Technical solutions exist for each of these problems, and in fact the health of democracy has never been stronger (in societies with representative governments): the people elect not to pay upfront for these solutions, and instead bear the piecemeal cost of leaving the problems unaddressed.

> Watching the news or scanning the headlines online often feels like looking into the abyss — and this feeling makes many people turn away.

I don't want or need constant exposure to the news - and you can't seriously be claiming news exposure is correlated with 'positive' choices.

> And yet, it we trust Einstein (and he was definitely a smart guy!), the same situation can offer very different takeaways. Times of great challenge hold the potential for positive change.

Ah, so you are. Hard to argue against, at least long as we trust the words you've stuffed into Einstein's mouth.
It looks like Copilot is an EDSL for making C99 programs. I would think both OCAML and Haskell (and Java for that matter), as GC'd runtime langs, would be unsuitable for realtime "out of the box".

The best marriage of functional concepts and realtime I've seen is Supercollider (https://supercollider.github.io/) which basically has a smalltalk-like lang control a realtime backend. I'd love to see something like this for Haskell + Faust!

The article now includes a tweet referencing the Hospital's statement as though it was expected, without an extra heading or correction notice or title change. Then they pad out the statement again as if to address the concerns of falsehood it raises, before getting the same doc to restate his concerns for the ignorant masses in more detail.

Presumably this time they prodded him for something that does not require confirmation, there isn't an hour to waste in getting on top of a backlash.

But when the meta-discussion about how to compensate for it gets shut down, then the dialogue simply stops.

No longer is the perpetrator the primary target, but the person who makes a statement questioning some part of it.

Many of those cited in the article are actually on the left, and would generally agree with the broader positions, but now find themselves attacked with no recourse.

A little exhausting to, as always, have to thread the needle and calm things down, but let's try again.

My insistence on what I said isn't about anything permanent or immutable. This is about what I hope to be a temporary state of affairs, namely that -- it is at least plausible that the lack of black folks in tech today is leading to unintended negative consequences, and perhaps we should talk about that directly without having to worry about the fragile torpedoing the conversation by confusing this hopefully temporary state with some bigger overarching "statement about people."

And maybe I didn't quite say this in the exact way that won't set people off the first time, but you know (or should know) that we have to do this A LOT. I was hoping to be able to skip it, but hey, guess not for now.
What kind of work I want
I work at AWS. The service teams do own and write their CloudFormation providers, although if you've written a custom provider you'd see it is somewhat clunky, so it's sometimes considered more of an operational burden, and you can tell.

We dogfood both the SDK and CloudFormation internally, we just deal with its numerous gripes much the same way you would externally (although we can also contact service teams directly if needed).
That canary statement would kill their userbase. Seriously, who expects a company to admit the value they provide is not much? They expect the more savvy users (ie, those who need the privacy, typically) to understand basic OPSEC.

I admit that the marketing is bad, I do not agree with it, and I do not tolerate it in terms of my own OPSEC. But, there's just no way they would just admit they provide hardly any value besides, in a VPN's example, being a tube to another place, and just another tube with ends that can be stopped.

> Actually, I feel like most of stories do not have anything about money. A writer makes a choice. If everybody made choice to create world without money, would you be nitpicking about it, too?

The Star Trek TNG formulation for this is that scarcity of everything was eliminated with the invention of matter-energy conversion technology, along with limitless energy-generation tech like matter-antimatter reactors.

In a universe where all advanced civilizations can convert energy into food, clothes, equipment, etc, and energy is effectively limitless, at least relative to human needs, then money becomes obsolete and people no longer use it for anything.

At least one episode covers it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQQYbKT_rMg

I've always assumed any other post-scarcity sci-fi adapts the same premise - unlimited energy + matter-energy conversion = money is non-existent.

Anonymity (which is different than privacy) is something that can only be achieved in very particular circumstances for a limited time.
