One of my favorite quotes is one that was made famous by Will Rogers and Rita Mae Brown:

"Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment."

I have seen this "attributed to Nasrudin," which means no one really knows who came up with it, the first time.

Agreed. I am also an avid bike rider and 50mi is my standard Saturday morning ride (the more hills the better!). It does feel great, both while doing it and for the better part of the day afterwards. There's a clarity in it that I lack in my day-to-day existence. But it never lasts.

I've had a tough time lately, mentally, and went on a bike tour with my dog to a state park 40 miles away for 2 days. Over 100lbs of load. Hiked a good 10 miles while there. Rode back. It felt great and life had clarity for all of 24 hours after.

There's a lot of good reasons to exercise, but alleviating depression isn't one of them in my experience.
Its possible, if theres a full database dump that direct messages could also be leaked, which could be incredibly damaging. I'd guess that these would be in another storage medium however.

Comparing to SF you have an island 20x30km which you cannot leave (or rather it’s quite difficult to return back) vs the enormous country with plenty of places to travel. Before the pandemics you could at least travel around Asia etc, now you just stuck there. In addition to that, Singapore has quite chaotic “covvid prevention” rules that make life even more depressing.
America, especially at this time, strikes me as rather very focussed on 'winning'. They're also extremely used (in that it's been that way for almost the entire existence of the country) to a 2-party getup. (That desire to win would strongly indicate that voters want to vote for a winning party and are thus unwilling to go out on a limb and vote for a long shot like this; it will be reflected in the polls which further highlights that the party can't win, and thus, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy).

Thus, unless I'm really missing something, this party can't actually win anything and will just siphon off a few votes. I don't think it's particularly easy to determine which party gets more votes 'siphoned out', but any effect on actual winners of elections that this party might have is focussed solely around:

[A] if it siphons significantly more votes off of one party vs. the other, and

[B] if either major party is afraid of getting the short end of the stick in the above, and will slightly change their platform (or at least their message) in order to prevent it from happening.

I can see an argument that engendering change in politics can be done even if you stand no chance of winning by changing the focus of public discourse, but given the polarized nature of the US, shouldn't you first, I dunno, start a party that tries to fix elections e.g. by applying the ranked voting system as used for e.g. New York majoral elections, or Maine's governor, to presidential elections?

Until then whatever message Yang cares to put out there will just be drowned out by the masses eager to just paint them as an insiduous tool of the opposition, where all they will accomplish is to siphon votes off of the party that they are most similar to (probably the democratic party at this point in time). Thus, giving Yang and whomever likes his points the opposite effect: A vote for Yang is actually like half a vote in favour of the party you'd least want to govern.

Even if you think that's an acceptable sacrifice on the road to a new party / a change in politics, it's not going to work simply because the news will obviously paint this new party as utterly irrelevant except in regards to which party it siphons more votes off of. Nobody will even be talking about what this party stands for.

Am I missing something, or is it all just doomed, in that such a party can neither win, nor meaningfully influence the topic?

Maybe Ross Perot had the right idea by tossing down a giant bag of cash to air very long ads that explained his idea to the populace. That way, his take on things was at least part of public discourse (regardless of how you feel about said ideas).

In this situation I think it’s more newsworthy because of the nature of the violation is more unusual since a law against pornography seems to be intended to punish producers but this person isn’t a producer.

I got the comparison wrong, saw that it sorted backwards, and just changed > to < without asking myself why it worked.

No, not the only one. I don't like the recent narrative that Facebook is an extremely evil corporation and responsible for most issues in the world. I think people overestimate the influence of Facebook and just want to live in a world where everything they don't agree with is fake news, controlled indirectly by Russia and spread through "useful idiots" (usually defined as people from the opposite side of political spectrum, because my political spectrum only consists of highly intelligent, emphatic people who analyze every news article in detail).
Exactly, practically it makes no different that the method could be fooled with a very tiny probability, but when making these counterintuitive statements I think it is important to be precise.

Ideally the reader should fully understand the statement and still feel amazed, rather than doubting the statement for a valid reason: perfect zero knowledge proof systems (which do not fail sometimes) are impossible and a reader would be right to think so
It's not a lie. They're not allowed, and it's not just about marriage. They're also prohibited from getting pregnant and are routinely tested.

Work permit conditions:

>Not marry a Singapore citizen or permanent resident in or outside Singapore without MOM's approval. This applies even after their Work Permits have expired, been cancelled or revoked.

>Not get pregnant or deliver a child in Singapore during the validity of their Work Permit unless they are already married to a Singapore citizen or permanent resident with MOM's approval. This applies even after their Work Permits have expired, been cancelled or revoked.

>As an employer, you must send your female Work Permit holders for medical screening every 6 months. This medical examination screens for pregnancy and infectious diseases such as syphilis, HIV and tuberculosis.

Note how they prohibit marriage outside Singapore even after the permit expires. It's clear what it means. If you've ever had a work permit, you're marked as unfit until proven otherwise.
First time about TAO, was in EDGE magazine in the early 90s IIRC about their OS TAOS sounded something from the future , could run on different processor even over a network, they had it running on a machine using transputers. It looked like sci-fi to me.

Are you running your own personal web site and have LetsEncrypt certificates set up? It's not all roses, and most obvious tools like certbot would frequently barf on upgrades or what have you when run from a cronjob. And you need to stop your web service for the duration of the "verification" or switch to DNS-based verification, which is not supported by all DNS providers. And I am sure there are different tools to integrate into your reverse proxy so you do not have to stop the service...

But just figuring all this out is additional complexity, and there is regular maintenance work involved. It's not hard, but for my personal websites, other than dealing with certificates and pushing new content, I don't need to touch them for months or years even.

Thus, even though I do invest time in having Lets Encrypt certificates on my personal server, I fully buy their "complexity" argument. It is the most time consuming part of my setup.

> ...about having everything under your control is leading to additional complexity. That's fine. Just own it. The whole thing boils down to "I don't want to do HTTPS and I don't want to let someone else do it for me because I don't want to and that's what I want". You do you, dude.

There is another problem with "I want to control stuff" argument: DNS is, ultimately, not under their control either. I, personally, hand over reins of DNS and certificates to "other parties", and draw the line there.

Still, one can use self-signed certificates to keep full control, and yet allow conscientious users to be susceptible to tracking/MITM only once per browser (or those extra careful who really love this web site could simply trust their CA, though it's unfortunate no browser allows CA-trust to be established per domain IIRC). The validity date can be pretty far in the future so the maitnenance burden is non-existent (unless your CA cert or private cert leaks).

That's a suggestion I'd make for them.
Not really. Though this guy has received a grand total of $19.52 dollars from one single transaction, so I think it's fair to say this problem is a bit of a edge case.

They do accept self-signed certificates. The challenge is you need to distribute the root CA and have your end users set them up on their OS as trusted.

If you aren’t using some centralized platform like LetsEncrypt, you’re lacking that layer of known trust that is required with the SSL system. It is not a trustless system.
Now maybe if they were using some decentralized blockchain DNS (is Namecoin still a thing?) and hosting all their files on IPFS, they would be putting their money where their mouth is.

Heck, why not just use GNU Freenet?

Until that happens, this sounds more like religious fervor than reasoned argument, and this article is one big post-hoc rationalization.

For what reason do you need to scale it beyond a single instance?

If all you need is to alleviate the high read load (many selects), nearly every SQL database (even SQLite!) has a free and supported way to create read replicas, usually out of the box.

If you need distributed transactional updates, MySQL / MariaDB has Galera (GPL), and Postgres has Citus (proprietary with a few AGPL parts).

And, of course, there is CockroachDB that prioritizes reliability over speed, but is truly distributed out of the box.
I mean it's not cynical (at least not anymore than your initial comment), it's what we're doing and why I used another entertainment option as a point of comparison.

The issue is that this local law Is flawed, and this flawed law double tapped with criminal activities to hurt female citizens. That is why most of us emphasize with the victim here, but concern less about an underage getting beer from some barman exposed.
This is hearsay, but from what I understood from talking about this long ago with someone deeper in the business, the issues are more organizational than technical, with Apple getting huge benefits of both vertical integration and avoiding possible anticompetitive probes.

This results in Samsung's SoC team having to design each Exynos like it was a la carte offering, and mobile team having to "shop" like normal client, without being able to do SoC and device design in lockstep. Which means mobile team can't specify every last bit of feature they want, and SoC team can't splurge on cache and the like because then the prices might go beyond what would make the SoC theoretically profitable on "open market".
I agree, the stigma around legality is just a breeding ground for panicky experiences. “Is that the cops?” “Do they know?” Etc.

> This algorithm ... finds the largest and places it at `i` instead of the last place in the array.

This is immediately where my intuition for the correctness of this algorithm falls down. When `i` is 1 (in a 1-based array) this algorithm starts by putting the largest element in the 1st location.

Then it proceeds by putting the largest element in the 2nd location, then the 3rd, then the 4th, and so on, so I can see that the largest element ends up in the last place. What is harder to see is that in all the swapping about, it's guaranteed that the smallest ends up in the 1st location.

> * You’ll find that as it does it’s thing the array from 0 to `i` is always in ascending order.*

This requires (a) noticing that it's the invariant you want, and (b) showing that it's true. It feels like a lot more work than proving Bubble Sort works, and to me, it's a lot less "obvious" (for want of a better term). But in particular, you refer to "making steady, obvious progress." It's not obvious to me that in the mid-phases we are making progress. The largest element continues trudging upwards, yes, but it's not at all clear to me that what it leaves behind is ordered, and not chaotic.

I recognise that I'm not you, and I'm not in the same position as your students, but I still find this algorithm requiring a lot more work to understand than the Bubble Sort.

Is there any particular reason you use this algorithm as your starting point for teaching sorting?
Sounds like a set of excuses tbh. I am running an ancient Solaris VM in internal network, and still have HTTPS for services, without any issues/added complexity. Unless you call a single cronjob that.
Anecdata:

The only times I've got dizzy when '24h water fasting' are when I've been eating normal/high amounts of carbs in my diet around the fasts.

I've been doing a few days/week of 24h water fasts again, but on a very-low-carb diet, and can report no dizziness whatsoever.

An additional benefit (also mentioned by others) is that I don't have any insatiable hunger pangs on the water fasts (which I did when I attempted them on a normal/high carb diet).
Interestingly, the same logic applies to vaccination rates. Going from 0% to 5% vaccination has no impact on the course of the pandemic (except for those few vaccinated people, of course). Going from 75% to 80% has a much larger impact, and could stop the pandemic in its track (depending on R_0, and many other real-world complications of course).

(And the reason is just the same: what matters is the remainder.)
If a law is considered unfair that's a perfectly fine topic of discussion. You are being obtuse on purpose.

I do run my own Web servers on dirt cheap VPS systems, with Certbot on a Systemd timer. Under Debian Stable at least, I've never had an issue, across multiple major versions.

That, and Borg backup. The hardest part about setting up a new machine for me is remembering the incantation to append my SSH public key to the authorized keys on Rsync.net. I never think about Certbot.

Then again, my needs are very simple. Maybe with more complicated set ups, you have issues.

People have made a reasonable rebuttal to the article here... But there's a double edge to the HTTPS sword that I don't think is being discussed. Automating things with cron is the weak and easy argument to defeat. There's a much harder one he's hinting at though.

The year is 2040. HTTPS is by and large well adopted, and certificate authorities have waned under the power of let's encrypt. Firefox and Chrome have progressed from showing a warning, to refusing to load sites that are insecure, much like how expired certificates are handled today.

However, the government has adopted control over much of the internet. Facebook is now run by the federal government, and most online interaction requires a government photo ID. Further more, comments you made in the past have damaged your social credit score, and Let's Encrypt will no longer issue you certificates, and traffic to your static blog has dramatically dropped to near zero. Not to mention, the hit your site takes in page rank for not offering https any more.

There's a million things that can be said about how to operate in such a world -- and by and large it seems we're headed that way. But this fact remains: certificate authorities are a centralized power that the public can't control. And that means you're at their mercy.
