There are plenty of cultures and practices that did not seek dominance over any and all resources.

Would be worth revisiting and adding that as an alternative. Reshaping culture is not as bizarre as it seems (i.e. womens rights, democracy, egalitarianism, voting, an 8 hr workday, public education, all recent inventions/shifts)
If only we were permitted to view the digital IP rights tyranny as another disruptable industry with latent energy that could be unlocked by a savvy founder...

The economic activity & value directly suppressed by IPR is unbelievable. Hard to even mentally scratch the surface. It's extremely economical (for society) to digitally copy and distribute useful information.

Most Western IP laws are draconic in the purest sense of the word.

Unfortunately their is a very influential sect of "corporate-law fearing" IP fanatics at the heart of many FOSS tech traditions (RMS, et al). Not all of it is pragmatic.
Yes. But that is mainly from a distance in a crowd without audio. This will be eye level, close-up and with audio.
Also not a lawyer, but my understanding is that Job Related only applies if you want to deduct the education expenses from your income taxes.

Employers can provide up to $5,250 in reimbursement tax free for all qualified programs regardless of the programs relation to the job

Over that amount it becomes a fringe benefit subject to income taxation, however if it is job related it can be deducted as an expenses for the employee making it tax free
I understand your position. If enough people think different from you, we will still be able to buy devices with "real freedom". If too many people agree with you, we run the risk of having zero devices that respects our freedom.

Right now, if you want a ryf-certified device, you have to choose a very old device (x86) or pay a lot of money for a very powerful one (POWER9). If enough people join the cause, we may, in the future, get affordable freedom respecting devices.
I've thought about self-hosting, but I don't want to wake up one day to a $100 bill from AWS because a hosted image hit the front page of reddit.
Yeah so if he did as he claimed then he achieved the bypass Apple claims to be paying for. Now if Apple is lying and refusing to honour their bug bounty, that is another matter.

My point is that just because you can get the user to execute your malicious executable under their user account does not grant you access to all their files, unlike what you would expect with traditional Unix permissions.

On the face of it it seems weird to duplicate Iterator methods directly on array (which is iterable), but then it really is a special case because this version (thanks to const generics!) should be able to avoid an allocation, which to my understanding isn't possible with the Iterator version
Yeah sure. We initially wanted to build something to compare the equivalence of two programs written in different languages and for this we started out using KLEE. Unfortunately, we found it didn't quite satisfy our needs and then changes we wanted to make didn't really fit with their architectural model. We also felt like it wasn't as amenable to parallelisation as we would have liked. The core technology is using an SMT solver just like KLEE, but our hope is that Symbolica will be more scalable and easier to use for larger problems.

DeepState looks interesting, we had seen this before and other stuff from trail of bits, but admittedly we haven't used it ourselves. Our impression is that it seems like more of a frontend to various symbolic execution / fuzzing backends. So maybe it's something we should consider integrating with too.

We hadn't come across ForAllSecure before, so thanks for pointing them out. They do appear to be similar, but their focus seems to be on large commercial/enterprise projects in sectors like defence and aerospace. So maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think they have an offering for individuals / smaller teams.

On the logo point, as another commenter pointed out it's the mathematical forall symbol, so I guess we just both had the same thought when it came to coming up with a logo.
It's a good idea to not form opinions about science from Hollywood movies.

I’ve always wondered about this. There are absolutely no strings attached? Even if I’m terrible academically and barely passed school I can still get the state to pay for me to likely just fail university?

I put myself through college, but had jobs I could study on; Security Guard, and a Mini Storage Manager.

I couldn't imagine even working twenty hours delivering a ton of packages, and getting through school, especially if you need decent grades for grad school.

Well, the function should be called somewhere, even if it's ignored when null. I can't think of a legitimate case for an unused parameter - it might be #ifdef-ed out in some cases, but it should still be referenced somewhere.
The only problem recently is they keep running out of stock on the cheaper spec'd versions of laptops so everything was $1200+ when I last checked.
Many college students already do this. I know I did. It’s only the rich with the luxury to not work.
How El Salvador keeps it's physical cash in flow with a foreign mint is an interesting question but it is somewhat decoupled. Unless people are hoarding US dollars, the banks are getting them back as later deposits so the amount of physical dollars has very little to do with incoming and outgoing digital payments.

Yes, nearly: DSA currently only supports a few basic offloads, and all?/most of those only work on some of the supported DSA targets. I think, MT76xx devices are the most "advanced" in that respect right now. But nothing "advanced" like even pppoe-offloading (yet).

I don't think you get it. If someone took a big shit on my lawn every morning and refused to stop or clean it up but I found out they were paying for some kids college I'd still their they were a giant asshole.

Amazon is doing far worse in the world than shitting on my lawn and isnt doing this out of the goodness of their heart. They are doing it for good pr and because its hard to hire workers like these long term without dangling long term benefits over their heads.
Yes. Sorry, I overlook being explicit sometimes accidentally.

I don't think I particular fear death. Fear of death is a monkey brain thing. I don't want to die because I enjoy living. But if I had the choice between dying immediately or living for a few more minutes while being pushed through a meat grinder, I think I, and everyone alive, would choose to die immediately. It's not too difficult to imagine torture and pain so horrific that even monkey brain prefers death.

Human brain can make that judgment wherever it wants. I think the general case that shitty medical routes are just not worth it is often true.

Yeah, crypto = hidden.

In this context, crypto = cryptocurrency, because MasterCard is a major fintech company. The context is obvious.

Don't die on the crypto != cryptocurrency hill. Its not worth it. Language is fluid and words represent concepts that change over time. We use contextual information to solidify the concepts.

There is nothing special about cryptography that owns the word. Cryptozoology and Cryptosporidium are also valid candidates for using the short form.

If you make plastic by pulling CO2 out of the air, then it would still be more efficient to recycle that into new plastic. You'd still be storing the carbon, just in things that are in active use.

There's some potential methods when you can just extract the carbon, which in turn you could also bury, but why not use it for something instead?

I feel the "lets put it in a hole" thing has been artifically boosted by fossil fuel interests who just happened to be emptying a hole as they dug it up anyway. If that wasn't the case I'm not sure storing stuff underground would be an obvious solution.

Using it for plastics, concrete or other things we need that contain carbon seems like it'll likely be always be a better choice than burying.
That is a warped view of history IMO :), America was born out of the idea that we can make a better place for everyone, one where everyone counts and has a chance to build the life they want (historically a big one was to practice their religion without discrimination as well). It wasn't born out of revolution, it was born from people escaping British society in order to live a better life. And, regardless that was a long time ago, we've reinvented it since then, it is a land of immigrants who want to build a better life for themselves.

I believe American Culture is one that supports each other and society, we have just lost our way and we are in a bit of a battle for the soul of America. It is being hijacked by super individualist who forget they are part of something bigger and that they have a responsibility to society as much as society should respect the individual.

If you have a bike accident people will stop to help. If your car breaks down, people will stop and help. If you have a medical emergency, people will stop and help. If you need directions people will help. The media likes to show fear and we think that is the norm, when in fact the vast norm is that we are always going to help our fellow humans. Cops are still human, despite really bad training that causes them to fear everything and everyone. If a cop asks you to stop and the only thing that makes you stop is the threat of violence I would seriously rethink who I am and my values.

The, hah, theory with DeFi is that the 'code is law' ideology and decentralised governance acts as defacto regulation.

Uniswap's dropping of a number of coins / tokens fairly recently proved that a decentralised exchange that supposedly had decentralised governance could still be controlled by a central entity.

DeFi is so young, however, that there just hasn't been the time to run through enough scenarios to see how well, or poorly, it works.

It doesn't help that there have been so many rug-pulls and scams because so many people are blinded by dollar signs they can't see an elephant sized flashing neon sign saying "we will steal whatever isn't nailed down". This is what needs regulation, somehow...

Regulating against greed and / or stupidity is one of those eternal problems: If humans could do it, they wouldn't need to.

The conundrum of DeFi is the lack of a centralised entity to either have a trustworthy reputation or take to court. Uniswap being a counter-example.

My approach is to move slowly and diversify to minimise risk.

Re-reading what I just wrote, I think I just repeated your last paragraph in a whole lot more words.
That's correct. Amazon can deduct the education benefit as a business expense and up to $5,250 is not subject to payroll tax. Neither the employee nor Amazon have to pay taxes on anything up to that sum.

Given the continuing-to-soar cost of education, I'd expect Congress to considerably increase that number. People will increasingly get chained to jobs for education cost reasons like they already are for healthcare cost reasons.

Making semiconductor chips in India, for the world
It is cute. The main issue (which the creators of the previous PalmOS HLE - "styletap" inevitably found), and that any Wine developer will tell you about at length, is that in any HLE, compatibility as per official API docs is only 10% of the work. The remaining 90% is bug-compatibility. The long tail of that ... it is almost infinite in length.

Eg:

"DmNewHandle()" - seemingly a simple API in PalmOS - will take NULL as first parameter in PalmOS 2.0+, but will not in 1.0+. Applications written for 1.0 will expect entirely different behaviour. PalmOS 2.0+ will detect such applications and offer them that behaviour. This is not documented anywhere.

Or, "TxtPrepFindString()". In PalmOS 3.5 and later its prototype is "UInt16 (const UInt8 * , UInt16, UInt8 * , UInt16)", while in 3.3 and before, it is "void (const UInt8 * , UInt16, UInt8 * )". Once again this is not documented, but each app needs to see what it expected of the API it was compiled with. And unlike Android/iOS there is no per-app manifest indicating which SDK version it was built with.

And: some SysTraps over time were entirely replaced with incompatible functions at the same SysTrap number. PalmOS 2.0 changed PsrClose into SysLibLoad. PalmOS 3.0 changed PsrGetCommand into SndPlaySmf and PsrSendReply into SndCreateMidiList. PalmOS 3.1 changed PsrInit into IntlDispatch. A proper HLE will need to somehow detect OS version the app targets to provide the proper functionality when one of these SysTraps is made... Doable, but not trivial... (When working on RetroFix, I came up with A solution. Since these 4 calls are only reasonable in a certain order, an app is flagged as "1.0 app" if it calls PsrInit. But how to tell that apart from IntlDispatch? IntlDispatch takes a "selector" in D2, and at the time of PalmOS 1.0 SDK, writing the selector into D2 was REQUIRED to be the very preceding instruction to the trap, using a MOVEQ instruction. At the same time, PalmOS ABI will not preserve D2 across calls, so if you are calling an API that does not take a D2-selector, writing D2 would be pointless as it is about to be destroyed. So, I check for a MOVEQ to D2 register in the previous instruction to where the trap is.)

This goes on almost forever. This is why an HLE (of anything, not just PalmOS) is a project with no"completion date.
We already kinda do with the military; no other options for high paying work? Join the military for a few years, let them pay for school if you survive.

But, Oscar Wilde's quote here is partially right at the societal level, and absolutely wrong on the individual level. Both can be true. Amazon isn't to be lauded as a company for something that is, ultimately, a competitive advantage, in a landscape they don't seek to change, but the change itself can be lauded as a good one in that it's something they can control
