Look, developers who cared enough to write some documentation. In 1971. With a highly constrained environment. They documented more than some developers do today :-).
I just really wanted to launch my software. Which when I began coding it, seemed completely legal and possible in Costa Rica. As the laws started to change - and even before Bitcoin came on the scene - I looked for how to do it without running afoul of anything. So it's not like I set out with a plan to exploit all the legal loopholes in the world, I just adapted my code and split it apart as necessary. I never even meant to take Bitcoin, let alone make it the only currency in the casino. It was just the only option if I wanted to launch. I had very little money and had written a giant gaming platform. I wanted it to see the light of day.
Now put this on the Blockchain and you will have miners across the world hosting it for you.
It’s written in the first page of Security act 1933. It’s quite clear, actually.
Yes, "droplet" is what DO calls them.
Australia seems on a steep decline and a testing ground for western authoritarianism. Look at the requirements to leave the country, you need to jump through hoops and prove that your presence is required outside to be granted permission to leave. This should be unacceptable for anyone, whether you are Australian or not.
I really like them as well. I enjoy them as a digital art form.

From what I understand, Scott Turner (Here Dragons Abound) got his inspiration from Martin O'Leary[0]. Lots of interesting reading on his site.

Another one in current development but as far as I know doesn't have a devlog quite like Scott Turner's is Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator[1]. He did keep a devlog until 2018 sometime though[2].

Watabou's Medieval Fantasy Map Generator[3] is really good.

I'm sure I've seen more over the years but these are the ones I can remember.

The keyboard is a Dell K07M, but beside the cute form factor I will NOT recommend buying it. Maybe mine is damage, but I got a lot of ghosting in my key pressing. I’m looking to replace it, maybe with a K3.
It is charitable to call it childish. It is unprofessional. And it indicates a culture of "the rules don't apply to us because we are so cool".
What really made me change my mind on NFT's is collectibles. Not so much random pixel art, but actual collectibles (e.g. think stamps, baseball cards, basketball cards, pokemon, etc). The success of NBA Top Shots is a case in point. The blockchain allows for decentralized verifiability of a collectible's origin/authenticity (making fakes impossible), and even more importantly: seamlessly allows to create a marketplace around the collectibles without needing to rely on ebay and shady sellers. I definitely think this pixel art fad will pass or remain a niche, but the concept of collectibles has been around for a long time and will stay for a long time to come.
Read the securities act for once.

The exceptions make the rule.

Especially the big glaring exception for securities maturing in less than 270 days being completely exempt from the act no matter the nature of the transaction.

There is a difference between excepted practice, regulator musings, and using a plain reading of the law no matter what people think.

Protip: the regulator has no idea which part of the law you are using, and legally cant know when your lawyers have all the supporting documents. Make it more expensive for the regulator to find out, so they’ll choose to go after people without lawyers instead, who cant afford their rights. USA
If registration fees for large trucks were increased it is likely that the costs would be passed on to the consumer. We would see higher shipping fees and potentially higher prices for goods at stores.

We can debate which we'd rather pay but one way or another the cost would come down to us.
Indeed they could. However the linked page says:

> A DATA DISRUPTION WARRANT enables the agencies to “add, copy, delete or alter” data on devices.

With the exception of the word “copy”, this makes it seem like the plan is to make it not merely possible but also legally acceptable for anyone given such a warrant to create/place that evidence (or delete things to make real data look incriminating by lack of context).

Again, I really know I can’t trust my interpretation of any legal text, all I can say is it does sound bad to an outsider like me.
Nothing stops it from sending the unencrypted version when someone reports a message they can read, it's just grabbing the plain text and sending to moderation.

Completely abusable... So E2E encryption doesn't really save us here.
I've personally witnessed a single gunman absolutely shutdown and preoccupy the entire Philadelphia police forever for several hours. One guy.

You all seriously overestimate the capabilities of the police.
Simple solution, take an odometer reading every year and use that, and accept the slop from not knowing how many miles were on restricted access highway vs dirt road vs suburban street.
I cannot accept a policy where people are imprisoned within their borders and not allowed to leave as ethical. Free countries don't have laws to stop people escaping, and there's no threat on earth where a genuine police state is an ethical response.
Depends, some time it does matter when security and performance are part of the non-functional requirements, validated on project acceptance delivery.
It's just a scam. There's not really any more depth to it than that.
Minor nitpick: They were used for low explosives (not high). See [1] for details, or [2] for a video. Surprisingly, high explosives are harder to ignite than low explosives.

In fact, Chrome does use its own TLS libs and don't have any trouble connecting on TLS 1.2 on Android 4.4.

> What I’m willing to bet, however, is that you’ve heard of deliberate practice in the context of Malcolm Gladwell’s ‘10,000 hour rule’ — the mistaken notion that 10,000 hours of practice would turn anyone, at any age, for any skill, into a master practitioner.

Ericsson spent a lot of time and page space trying to distance himself from this "rule", but it's clear from his writing that he introduced it.

See his 2007 HBR article (which lists it as a necessary condition):

> By now it will be clear that it takes time to become an expert. Our research shows that even the most gifted performers need a minimum of ten years (or 10,000 hours) of intense training before they win international competitions.

It's a confusing enough situation that Macnamara et al review the many places he discusses 10k hours (or 10 years) in their book chapter The Deliberate Practice View.
It makes sense to regulate things that can actually kill people... like giant molasses vats. It makes little sense to regulate web frameworks used to display pictures of funny cats.

I'm afraid this isn't completely true. You can still be interrupted for capacity issues no matter what your bid is. It's quite rare on more common instance types, but becomes a problem if you have more than a few GPU or high memory type instances.
True, but I think the question at hand is how do you apportion cost to those most responsible for it
What I find the most shocking about all this is that people believe Facebook when they said it was E2E. If you can't inspect for yourself the default assumption should be that they're lying.

I even recall recommending Signal to friends -- nope. We use WhatsApp it's E2E so even safer than Signal or Telegram that are deceitful as you have to use secret chat to get E2E! All these FB messenger advocates seem to have the same arguments and yet none of the knowledge about how it works and this ludicrous "trust" in FaceBook.

At least authoritarian regimes are distrustful of Telegram and Signal -- banning them.
I agree that the actual barriers are probably lower than ever, e.g. with Scratch, Playgrounds, replit or even the browser JS console. I think the bigger issue is that the competition for (child) attention and interest is much fiercer nowadays. In the 1980s we had a few channels of fixed TV programs, maybe a handful of expensive computer/video games, LEGO and some plastic toys. Even back then, interest in programming was only for a select few.

Lets not fool ourselves, programming has a steep effort-reward curve, maybe even steeper than chess or music instruments. Nowadays it's competing against an infinite supply of deliberately tuned shallow-curved attention seekers like youtube/tiktok videos and app store quasi-games.
It's certainly better than simply compromising everyone but it's not like they're going to stop their mass surveillance activities. This is just a step towards legitimization of those activities.

It's time for computer security to include nation states in their threat model. We need tamper-evident hardware.

I'm genuinely curious about this. My questions are:

1. What do you do for a living in Perth? What I guess I'm really trying to determine is what income bracket you're in.

2. Where in Perth are you looking at renting or buying? and

3. How much of your ability to buy is because you sold a house in the UK so have a huge deposit to put down?

I've known quite a few British people who have moved to Australia and pretty much all of them had (3).

I would say that QoL is generally much higher than the UK though. Houses and blocks are of course larger. Earning potential in London at least is pretty high though. But if you want a house you're probably commuting for an hour each way when the trains are running, which they generally aren't. Crossrail will be interesting.
One of my coworkers uploaded all his high resolutions photos to some site (probably Yahoo!Photos ???) and lost the local copy. He was surprised that the site only stored the photos at a lower resolution than the original files.
If someone other than sender or recipient can read messages -- it's not E2E.
Did Uber not fundamentally change the taxi and limousine laws? Did AirBnB not fundamentally change hotel and rental law? Did file sharing not fundamentally change copyright enforcement? Did Internet pornography not fundamentally end obscenity laws? Does delta-8 not fundamentally change cannabis prohibition?

The point is that technology very often can and does magically change the tenets of an activity. This is just a fact of legal realism. The law can say whatever it works, but if the government is no longer capable of enforcing it, because tech moves faster and is more agile, then for most intents and purposes the law has fundamentally changed.

> That doesn't apply to web applications, which of course use JavaScript heavily

I propose that rather than ‘Web applications’ these be called ‘browser applications,’ because they are applications that run within the browser runtime. It is basically a coincidence (and a convenience) that they happen to rely on the same technology used for the Web.

What I don’t understand is why folks write browser applications for things that the Web platform already handles well. The Web is pretty cool! Not perfect, but then nothing is.

Instant Apps Development: How to Create One for Business

However, many businesses still haven’t discovered the real power of such solutions and the benefits they can get. In this article, we’ll talk about how to create an instant app for Android and why businesses should consider this option.

By your logic signal is not e2e because I can copy a message from a friend and post it here.
Correct, it is e2e, the messages are delivered intact to the receiver.

It's just that the receivers are leaking.
Amen, I think if memory serves correctly HTML was SGML inspired and once XML became popular there was a XHTML standardization push for a brief time.

I think you could argue that the ubiquity of HTML led to people see value in something like XML back in the late 90's / early 00' and HTML drove XML invention and adoption and not the other way around.
> We use WhatsApp it's E2E so even safer than Signal or Telegram that are deceitful as you have to use secret chat to get E2E!

Just a minor correction, Telegram is the one that is only E2E encrypted via their secret chat feature. Signal is E2E encrypted at all times, and open source.

Fairly sure GP wasn't implying it's not possible, but also venting the sentiment (shared by me) that availability of effective mitigation will preclude any actual solution by taking the pressure for change off the societal systems.
A lot of martial arts training is focused on practicing techniques in isolation and developing "perfect" form (punches/kicks in the air, doing the same throw repeatedly against a cooperative partner). The problem is that any technique you want to apply against an opponent in a competition (or self-defense situation) also has a significant tactical/decision-making component, which is not really trained by that approach. You have to learn when to do a technique, how to set it up, and how to adapt the movement to your specific opponent. You can learn the tactical skills in sparring but it's difficult because there's so much going on.

So when you try to jump from isolated technique practice to sparring, there's a disconnect because you haven't built the tactical skills. Even worse, the movement you practiced in isolation may be different from what works in sparring, so all that isolated practice can actually be counterproductive. You can see this pretty clearly in combat sports like kendo and fencing which have a strong component of tradition -- the movements of high-level competitors tend to be very different from the "correct" form taught in class.

I'm not sure how much this would apply to aikido, which as I understand it is not particularly focused on competitive or self-defense applications.

If you're interested in pedagogy for martial arts (or sports in general), I highly recommend "Development of Technique and Tactical Skill" by Luis Preto and Spyridon Katisgiannis.

"Principles-Based Instruction for Self Defense" by Rory Miller is also pretty good, if a bit rambling.

Technically the communication between both ends is encrypted. What each end does with the unencrypted content is out of the scope of E2E encryption.
But why are we desensitized to move on with life and letting a company lie about what their product offers? Isn’t there a law somewhere about fake claims? I’m sure it’s somewhere in the policies but if a bread company said they were gluten free and they weren’t, they would be in deep shit no?

I'm sorry to be this blunt but you're completely out of touch with reality.

In the whole of Europe electricity prices are currently through the roof, marking records on many countries... daily. [edit: mostly because CO2 emission taxes and because gas producing countries can charge whatever they want because the whole continent (but France) depends on them] Just because people (normal everyday working-class) people pay higher prices everyday for what they need to live, electricity doesn't come from cleaner sources suddenly; and it sure won't in the short/medium term. We are decarbonizing but in the meantime we have to use gas; the other alternatives (eg: nuclear, which is currently the only solution) are expensive as f* and take a looong time to be build. Renewables are not constant and there lies the problem, they also need a lot of ground allotted to be installed and account for a reasonable part of a country's usage.

We're stuck deep and there's no easy or quick way out. It also isn't "people just don't want to", people can't. Electric cars are very expensive to be adopted massively, and if they were comomn, the energy wouldn't be clean anyway, we have to change the infrastucture. Where do you suggest we get the energy from?

There are no easy and quick solutions.
From ICOs to Tokens (ERC-20) to NFTs (ERC-721). I see another over-supply of 'randomly generated' art created by anyone, just like the tokens.

This reminds me of the tool to generate your own ERC20 token [0].

Won't be surprised to see them add NFTs. One scam after another.

I disagree, the use of MongoDB reflects poorly on the future of the project. In my opinion, a custom protocol does not. They intend for the app to be an alternative to a giant like Discord, so the protocol being custom leaves them with the freedom to introduce features Matrix didn't consider.

In opposition of NIH syndrome, using others work often locks you into the framework of their thinking, which can often be flawed. So to make improvements within the framework, you must think outside of it. Matrix might not be flawed, but it is purpose built for a specific task, a task that likely won't capture all possible use cases of this project. Perhaps it would be the right move to use in the beginning, but once the project matures it may become a limitation.

Not a black belt myself, but agree with GP. Sparring frequently tends to be "people trying to murder each other on the mats in pursuit of their egos". There's a level of dynamism in good sparring that can immediately get shut down if one or both practioners are overly motivated by "winning". You need to take a lot of risks to learn in practice even if it means getting clowned by someone who you could beat if you had to, but you do see people sticking to conservative games in order to dominate. Which often doesn't teach them (as they aren't learning new aspects) but it also doesn't teach their opponent (as it's very hard to learn new stuff when trapped in someone's well-rehearsed "A Game").

The advantage of positional sparring (i.e. go from one position and stop when someone gets out of it to some outcome - not necessarily a tap) is that everyone gets to sharpen a single position. The ego motivation isn't as strong there as it is with full sparring.
Because it doesn't sound like a lie to me? They're saying "we don't read your messages - unless you explicitly send us a copy".
Having the people in a position to reduce the damage be responsible for the cost means they can make sensible decisions. Right now, for example, it makes sense to ship something much farther so you can have a really cheap distribution center outside of town, even in cases where this is more expensive overall.
