Not ExaMesh, but there are a variety of ways to encrypt the card and remotely unlock it.

You can use dropbear to ssh into the Pi and provide the key during boot.

You can have the Pi connect to a remote system to retrieve the key.

Some methods are obviously not perfect, but it'll definitely make it more complicated than just "copy the card." Remote key retrieval would let you audit when the system was booted and so on.

There's a more complex purpose-built open source software package specifically for handling remote disk unlocks but I'm blanking on the name and my google searches aren't turning it up. I vaguely recall it had fairly high levels of paranoia in its design.
I should've realized this earlier but I think I understand now the reason for the confusion.

GDPR handles all kinds of data related to a person, so yes: a username is personal data wrt GDPR

personally identifiable information (PII) on the other hand is only a subset of data handled by the general data protection regulation (GDPR)

>simply switch teachers

I think you’re on to something. 10 years ago, what you describe would have been entirely infeasible what with forcing teachers to move places they don’t want to go. Now, with KhanAcademy, you can have top-notch teaching on virtually any subject anywhere.

That’s not to say e-learning is a suitable replacement but as a supplement, it should certainly be able to bridge much of the gap.
The Youtube channel "Life where I'm from" recently put out a video (one week ago) about how Japan keeps itself clean.

In some cases it's even the elderly living in the smaller neighborhoods who will "find something to do", such as tending to the public area near the street outside of their home, sweeping and washing it clean, throwing away loose trash (cans, bottles, etc.).
It definitely is not fully reversible. The sort of changes which happen highly stress your body, and going through it twice is not going to leave you the same as if you’d never done it at all.

When they say it is reversible they mean you can go back to looking like a man, not that you can go back to being exactly like you were before.
> The Fappening is case and point. These celebrities trusted Apple and completely outsourced their security only to find their privacy violated in shocking horror.

The fappening happened because people got spearphished into sending others their account passwords. That jump started the 2FA push, but there is not much a company can do if you willingly give your authentication details to someone else. If anything, the fact that apple does not allow passwords to be reset haphazardly and makes you wait 7 days means they go out of their way to prevent regular people from being victims, possibly a result of the fappening.

That doesn't sound pleasant but college students aren't prisoners locked in their dorm rooms.
> The CDC claims they redefined it away from the word “immunity” towards the word “protection” because no vaccine grants perfect immunity. Personally I find that to be a bad answer. By taking a weighty word like “vaccine” and redefining it, the expectations of risks and benefits the public holds were exploited.

This isn't anything new though. Vaccines have always had varied amounts of effectiveness. While some, like the polio vaccine are essentially 100% effective, other common ones like the MMR vaccine (components range from 30-90% effectiveness) and flu vaccine (40-60% effective based on year) are about as effective as the covid vaccines, and its never been controversial to call them vaccines.

I personally think a lot of it is understandable and doesn’t necessarily result in negative discrimination like you might imagine.

Understandably, usually foreigners like myself don’t understand all the rules of politeness in Japanese culture, and it takes a lot of time and labor to do so - I try my best, but most Japanese people will expect that I will fail to abide by those rules all the time.

The reaction to this sometimes is critical, especially in private (foreigners often have trouble rising the ranks in professional organizations because of this), but often results in people just being lenient on you as a foreigner - if anything it’s much harder to be a Japanese person in Japanese society since people don’t assume that you won’t follow all the norms. I think it would be exhausting to expect all foreigners to abide by all the social norms, and get pissed off everyday when 95% of them fail.

This extends to a lot of things, like foreigners failing to follow the complex recycling system, or doing things as simple as jaywalking or biking through a red light in an empty intersection - things which most Japanese people wouldn’t do.

So while I agree there’s definitely racism, it’s not quite as clear cut as what you’re saying - there’s also just pure practicality at play.

I actually like the organic layout of the streets. Maybe sucks for driving, but it seems to be conducive for walking because the paths radiate out of transit hubs. For a grid layout it would force people walking to take suboptimal zig-zag paths.

One anecdote about the grocery stores and organic planing versus central planning:

In Japan the grocery stores are often placed closer to stations and transit stops or often in the station itself, so it covers people during their commute walking back home.

In San Francisco I have no idea what the logic behind the placement of grocery stores is. I bet it has something to do around the ownership of cars because they are not placed in very logical positions and all include giant parking lots despite being in the middle of the city. So this very feature resists any motion towards usage of public transit because they are never designed with transit in mind. For example my route in SF to the grocery store would be a 25 minute walk from the BART station because I have to go past my house to the middle of nowhere, and then walk 15 minutes back. To add insult to injury there is no parking for my apartment so it's like the grocery stores were designed for people who driving in from outside the city for some reason.
Can't you just ask the clarifying questions in the first minute and then code it up if you understand the problem? That is what I did when I got hired at Google, I don't think the other steps are necessary, a problem you can code a solution for in an interview doesn't require planning.
What a strange comment. Care to elaborate on "Sparta was Roman" ?
>sorry carbon accounting software doesn't move the needle

I think the place where software could be really useful is with demand response and grid management. There's tons of work in that space already.

Seems to me that long-duration storage and electrochemical production of fuels/chemicals/materials are the places where new technology is really needed, thinking ahead to when we get to 100% decarbonization of the grid and beyond that to when we try to decarbonize everything else. If the exponential growth and learning rates of solar keep up, in 15-20 years it will meet our entire projected primary energy demand and cost 5x less than the going rate for electricity right now. (Those are big 'if's, though!)

Alan Kay[0]: "The key to the Parc approach was to be able to do many experiments in the future without having to optimize." What technology are we going to need 15-20 years from now, when solar energy is 5x cheaper, that doesn't exist yet? My thinking is that electrochemistry is the big missing puzzle piece. If we totally dropped fossil fuels, we'd need to pump something like the entire present-day electric grid's worth of power into making chemicals/fuels.

Some companies with new technologies in this space that I like:

-Form Energy: low-cost iron-air batteries

-Prometheus: solar fuels from CO2

-Boston Metal: zero-carbon steelmaking

-Twelve (formerly Opus 12): other chemicals from CO2

-Carbon Engineering: air capture of CO2

As I was 14, I thought, I'm grown up and can decide. As I got 18: finally!

With 30, I look back and realize how stupid it was :)
With 40, I look at 30 and think, how could I've not realize, that 30 is not much away from 18 ..
And now, with 40, I think I finally know what I want. All that was important earlier is quite a result of all the pressure the society lay upon individual members. Like, a mirror you look into and see each individual member of that society - similar style, similar hair cut (the one "in" will be seen oftenly, in contrast to the "out" one), body shapes and so on..

As everything in a mirror is being mirrored back smaller by a factor of root(2) - so will be the image you see of yourself.

I want to be bigger than that and train the parts of me which can't be mirrored easily, rendering "the surface" not important.

Which is really not.
That’s a quite pithy description of America of late.
Many independent repair shops use high-quality parts, and consumers can check reviews or rely on past experiences to determine the quality of the repair before choosing a shop that works for them. Risk-averse consumers who are able to afford the higher upcharge can still choose to go to Apple for repairs if they want to. Obstructing independent repair options does a disservice to the consumers who prefer them.

>and its never been controversial to call them vaccines.

They've never been mandated by law before (let alone a unilateral executive order). That it was done by executive fiat rather than legislation makes it especially troubling. If the president can unilaterally mandate a forced medical procedure, what can't they do? This isn't a question about vaccines or vaccine effectiveness, its a question about law, Constitutional rights and executive power.

Even with "infinite scale", you should still be monitoring, and be doing some form of budget monitoring.

The difference is that application performance metrics are generally available in near-real time, whereas billing metrics are 1) very platform specific, and 2) generally not even close to real time.

It's hard to react quickly when your platform has effectively transformed near-real-time performance alerts to delayed/rolled-up billing alerts (which would also be much more difficult to use to pinpoint where the underlying issue is)

See, here is the thing. What you said is completely true, some people grow up in a really shitty environment and the achievements of children needs to be compared with the achievements of those around them.

However, without going into details, I have spent enough time at one of these ivy league universities to see first hand how it works it practice. The black people I met who benefited from these affirmative action policies were some of the richest most privileged human beings in the country. These policies are in no way actually implemented to help disadvantaged people.

A simple test would be your family income, for example. But MIT openly avoids this. These universities definitely don't want "those lower class people" corrupting them with their lower class ideas. They just want to feel virtuous, and the best way to do that is to have people there that "look the part" whether or not they are actually disadvantaged.

It’s interesting to me that my wife, who is Japanese, believes that in truth Japanese people are very unhelpful and unkind - she says that the politeness and helpfulness is a show that people do for foreigners as guests, but rarely show to one another.

>I think to achieve equal opportunity it makes sense to make education equal.

It's doable. Make it online and free. The HTTP protocol doesn't care about your social background.

I absolutely can't understand why would any country require its citizens to pay for education in state-funded schools and universities. Educated people are the best and the biggest national asset. Anything that creates a barrier (monetary or not) to education harms the country directly.
One thing I was surprised to learn about spinlocks is that not all spinlocks are spinlocks! At at least one company I have worked for, spinlocks are actually just locks that are biased to spin, but still fall back to kernel-based locking and scheduling eventually. Likewise, that company's main mutex class spins for a while before locking.

When I asked why the rationale was something like, "If a spinlock is ever held more than such and so number of microseconds, it's an error that it's a spinlock and actually it should be a mutex." Instead of doing degenerate behavior in this case, they just made the spinlock actually act like a mutex.
The Iraq, Libya, Syria reference makes me think you are conflating neoconservatism and neoliberalism.
"The answer and the future is kids will be raised by the state and given an equal playing field."

I read this as sarcasm, but I re-read it and am not so sure?

I hope you're will to pay for that in blood because there will be war over it.

We get that there's no such thing as a perfectly level playing field, but we're not going to allow children to be raised by the state to achieve what will be frankly in all likelihood not much of a gain in that regard, and a loss of basic freedom, and that's before the obvious risk of totalitarianism.

If you're worried about the state reading your emails, or net neutrality, you should naturally be 100x more concerned about what the state wants your child to believe.

While I am actually in support of good basic public education, I suggest the issue is important enough so that it should be at 'arms length' from the politicians, much like the Central Bank, but with more public input.

We need to get rid of this notion that there's really such a thing as 'perfectly equal' anyhow. Comparative Value. People value different things. Instead, take the approach of 'if there's a will there's a way' i.e. every kid gets access to good, basic, core schooling, and if a kid is motivated and has basic talents, they should have access to basic higher education.

Finally, most of the needle has nothing to do with quality of education, which most kids have access to, it's the quality of their home life. I'll bet material improvements in minimum wage and some kind of basic 'healthcare for all' would yield materially better results for kids than any specific changes to schooling, other than the cost of higher ed.

Edit: thee are enough examples of great public schools i.e. Norway, S. Korea, Canada, we don't need to get all theoretical about it. Work on 'all the issues' and the kids will be mostly ok.

> It's mildly understandable that Intel didn't want to implement (1) on the E cores (though it would arguably have been better to just dual-issue them, like AMD did for 256-bit vectors on the original Zens). But there's no reason not to implement (2) and (3) on the E cores.

It is very likely that all these aspects are very hard to separate from each other.
I think that, in a past era in which humans were largely immobile and thus everyone who shared in certain situations looked the same way and was from the same place, this was absolutely true. It’s interesting to ponder what will happen in the future as we have both increased mobility and reduced birth rates, which seems to lead to people who espouse certain values concentrating in certain places. You can’t have “tolerance” of the same values the Miami Is The New SV / Crypto Puerto Rico types have, and allow them to take over a society, and still end up with a place like Tokyo.

We are living in the weird messy middle of a world learning to figure out the fact that “race” is, when used within members of humanity, a problematic concept. Differences in values will remain, and should remain, because nobody has the right to force me to live in their Ayn Rand fantasy and I have no right to assert my We’re In It Together thoughts on the Miami tech types. Maybe that’s a “culture war,” I don’t know — whatever it is, it’s not going away as long as humans have the ability to think freely.

It is inherently so. A reference count is an atomic mutable value that must be updatable by any thread.

A significant selling point of ARC compared to traditional ObjC reference counting was that the compiler could elide retain/release calls better than the programmer could, thus preventing a ton of stalls.
It's my personal belief that a lot of the quality of life benefits come from the better income equality over there versus over in America. High progressive tax rates is probably a feature that enables this, so it's just a cost of living one has to accept if they want the benefits. You can't have that "we're in this together" if your neighbor has so much more than you.
The view that function is strictly tied to some particular piece of the brain like a machine is simplistic.
People in New Orleans still give directions by means of that 1982 crash site (i.e., a guy I wanted to buy a bike from told me, "turn left where the plane had taken out all those houses...").

I repaired a lot of iPhones (mostly screens) in the past. I would say that screen durability started getting significantly better around the iPhone 8. I was replacing screens for the various 5/6(s) phones constantly. These days, I’m hearing about fewer and fewer broken screens. I’m pretty confident in the 12’s screen at this point, after dropping it several times with no problem :p
