The biggest problem is that you could comply in that an ssn could be attached to each transaction, but ssns are both usernames and passwords that are used to authorize transactions and identify a person, so they can't be stored where everyone can read them.

Perhaps if the government switched over to digital signatures instead of SSNs compliance would be possible.

The requirement for secrets only shared with the government in each transaction is what breaks crypto in this instance. Perhaps someone could figure out a way to easily attach secret information that only the government could read to each transaction?

One solution would be that each transaction would have an identity broker attached to it where you would store your verified identity that would send the tax records to the IRS for you on the person the transfer was going to on their behalf, so you wouldn't have to see the SSN of everyone you did business with and likewise.

The key here is to separate custody of funds from knowledge of identity.

Edit: downvotes? Why? Can someone tell me why I'm at least wrong?
Feel free to expand on why that is. I'm genuinely asking - this is the first time I've heard that portmanteau.
Met Mitchell at a smaller Perth conference in 2019 where he did a talk on how Vault came to be.

Could tell how much he enjoyed what he was working on and the obvious passion for making better software, actually being down in the weeds and writing innovative things.

All the best to him and HashiCorp going forward.

Historically perhaps! I'm not sure how so.

These days, the only entity I'm aware of trying to help the web forward with 3D that I have seen is a company I criticize frequently for holding the web back, Apple. They have been working to add a <model> element[1]. I'm not sure exactly what the intent is, but off the bat, one interesting contrast was that VRML feels like it's own totalizing element, defines a whole environment. Whereas model feels like a thing on a page. If you have a tree, ground, and a house, those are three models on a page, potentially, I hope, which is something I never felt like the old attempts appreciated: they were the Flash/Applet model, a sub-experience.

Also happy to see Apple add BroadcastChannel and File System Access in Safari tech preview 131.

I'm still uncomfortable/alarmed having a general purpose device that's incapable of running all but a single possible web browser engine, and it's frustrating that incredibly empowering rich capabilities like Web MIDI are simply discarded (on valid security grounds, but still a vital capability I think we need to figure out how to allow). But Model or something like it is good solid declearative web innvoation (clawing back what's been javascripts). Templates were good, solid, declarative web innovation (clawing back what's been javascript's). And a lot of nuts and bolts to eventually finally seem to make it into Safari. I think I might be able to go to DEFCON 3 some day on my Safari feels.

Blink reflex doesn’t really matter. If it’s anything like my Lasik surgery, they insert devices (like Clockwork orange) to make it impossible to blink — who wouldn’t have the urge to blink when something is approaching their eye? It’s an involuntary reflex for self preservation. They also put a ring in my eye that made it impossible for me to move my eye whatsoever regardless of my urge to look away.
How can there be defense against this? The US does this but the military contracts aren't executed shoddily, although it seems that many others are.

Why would they make such a crappy program, don't they have any incentive to have a good reputation or to get more contracts? If it sucks and their history sucks, why would anyone want to hire them?

I think there's a difference in that a cryptocurrency can still be centralized, such as a government that creates its own crypto and manages it through its own exchange.
You don't have to - you can use an Android Emulator. But it will suck.

If you don't like it, it's not very hard to make Genshin single-player only. Most of the game is client-side, except for the spawning of enemies and resources. If you can figure out how to replicate it, you can get a 100% server-less Genshin Impact. I can definitely help with that if you want.

People have tried in the past to get the game running in single-player mode, and managed to get everything working except for mob spawns.

You'd also need to figure out some progression system to unlock characters, but that's not too hard.

If we could find some people to maintain the patch I'd be very willing to contribute to this too.
Thanks for the insight. Losing 10 lb sounds actually like a negative to me since I don't aspire to have a BMI of 18. But I would like to test it for the energy level. Well, maybe I should try it a few Saturdays.
When testing games, CPU reviews tend to test reduced resolutions and quality settings with the highest-end GPU they have, as a means of highlighting the differences between the CPUs.

While there aren't any nefarious intentions on behalf of the reviewer, this approach runs into the following problems:

- People buying high-end GPUs are unlikely to be running at resolutions of 1080p or below (or at lower quality settings), and won't see as much (if any) performance difference between CPUs as what reviewers show.

- People buying lower-end GPUs are going to be GPU-bottlenecked, and won't see as much (if any) performance difference between CPUs as what reviewers show.

- Each frame being rendered needs to be set up, animated, sent to the GPU for display, etc., and like all workloads, there's going to be portions that can't be effectively parallelized. As such, the higher the frame rate, the more likely the game is to be bottlenecked by single-threaded performance, which is an area where Intel CPUs have traditionally been strong relative to AMD's. However, as frames get more complex and take longer to render, the CPU has more of an opportunity to perform that work in parallel, and raw computational throughput is an area where AMD's modern CPUs have been strong relative to Intel's. So just because a CPU has leading performance in games today, doesn't necessarily mean that will hold in the future as game worlds become more complex (and reviewers revisiting the performance of 2017-era AMD Zen 1 vs. Intel Kaby Lake in recently-released titles have already started seeing this).

In short, the way that reviewers test CPU performance in games results in the tests being artificial and not really reflective of what most end users would actually experience.

After all, a graph showing nearly identical CPU performance across the lineup and the reviewer concluding, "yep, still GPU-limited," doesn't make for an interesting article/video.
I'm not sure there'd be much to write about to be honest. There are a lot of resources and Facebook groups but we all basically use the same exact process. What are you curious about?
Yeah my GPD Pocket 1 battery swelled as well after a year but I was able to pull it out and replace it with a new battery from AliExpress. It's still going strong with the new battery.
Apparently Intel used an older build of Windows 11 that has bugs that slows down AMD processors, even though Windows has fixed the issue - https://www.neowin.net/news/charlie-demerjian-intel-used-uno... ...
I have stopped using emacs from the last 5 years since I had problems with its key bindings. My left little finger ended up paying the price as that is what I use for control key. I still miss org-mode which I used for more than 10 years.
It is one huge reason why I kept coming back to emacs even after all the hurt.

From then on, I used sublime and now vscode to do text editing and an IDE like IntelliJ for development. My left little finger has gotten a lot better.

Sorry, but I have to correct this every time I see it on here: TypeScript is accommodating to C# developers, but it's equally accommodating to developers who don't want to touch classes with a ten-foot pole (and to everyone in-between). React benefits from it just as much as Angular does, etc.

> I don't think it's the business of a company to set the standards of communication world wide.

Facebook isn't setting the "standards of communication world wide." It's a privately-held company headquartered in the US. If it doesn't want ayatollahs in Iran posting virtual "death to America!" chants, it doesn't have to let them post them.

If Facebook moderates content in ways that authorities in other countries don't like, but Facebook doesn't actually have a physical legal presence in those countries, that's basically tough luck. Realistically, those authorities have little choice but to accept it, block Facebook or find a way to convince Facebook to give them what they want.
I always knew he was putting on half a persona for the videos but seeing him talk about advanced serious topics in that voice is genuinely surreal.
You can give a 5950x all the wattage all day but it really doesn't get much faster until you start dropping the temps to sub ambient. I have a 480mm radiator dedicated to my 5950X along with high quality RAM and extensive tuning (sub timings, fabric clocks) and I'm not able to get anywhere near 6 GHz at room temp without a voltage level that would destroy the chip after a few benchmarks.

And while I think my highly optimized 5950x setup could probably eek out the 12900k cinebench multicore score I'm sure if you gave me 10 minutes to also be fair and tweak a few settings on the 12900K I could get that to win again, even without messing with max power.

I do agree the Ryzen numbers in the article do in general seem lower than normal though.

Given this is Intel's "Catch up multiple nodes, new performance design, 300 watt class, ddr5" CPU and it's only able to get this eek ahead vs AMD's CPU from last year which is about to get the same litany of improvements plus their stacked cache improvement I'm not holding my breath Intel is really innovating fast enough again but at least they don't seem to be sitting still anymore.
Yes, but thought the electric car part market should have scaled by now. That leaves a smaller job of building the chassis. By how boxy it is should be easy pretty shortly. Hopefully price will come down quickly, because a simple no-telemetry e-vehicle is what I'm interested it.
Wow, and 2 FMA units/ports as well? Gotta love that the first consumer chip with 2 x AVX-512 FMA units doesn't officially support it.

> From what I understand, all this started with SecDB at Goldman, which was a the prototype for all these systems but wasn't Python based.

Correct. SecDB has its own language, S-lang, which you could probably best describe as a "lispy Smalltalk, with a hefty sprinkling of Frankenstein". The concept of SecDB was so good that other large banks wanted to get their own. Athena and Quartz have been mentioned several times in this thread, by people far more knowledgeable than I could ever be.

It's not just banking, I know of at least one large pension/insurance company who are building their own version of SecDB, with direct lines to GS. (They don't try to hide it, btw: the company is Rothesay Life.) The last time I talked with them, they were looking for Rust devs.

Disclosure: I work at Beacon.
Ha! I thought "they meant literally" when I read the headline...
>Google maintains the Safe Browsing Lookup API, which has a privacy drawback: "The URLs to be looked up are not hashed so the server knows which URLs the API users have looked up". The Safe Browsing Update API, on the other hand, compares 32-bit hash prefixes of the URL to preserve privacy. The Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers use the latter.

>Safe Browsing also stores a mandatory preferences cookie on the computer.

>Google Safe Browsing "conducts client-side checks. If a website looks suspicious, it sends a subset of likely phishing and social engineering terms found on the page to Google to obtain additional information available from Google's servers on whether the website should be considered malicious". Logs, "including an IP address and one or more cookies" are kept for two weeks. They are "tied to the other Safe Browsing requests made from the same device."

Looks like it works exactly like I thought it did and is not useful to me and a privacy concern.
What about using some 3D models as your reference?

As someone who has screened thousands of resumes, this is a terrible idea unless you're a government contractor or something where you need to give a full accounting of everything you did. If you can't summarize it in 1-2 pages, and you think every small thing you did is important, its already a red flag for most. At best it will just get ignored.
A few lifetimes ago, I worked at a small company where the VP shared with me why we had some "caddilac" service plans (ie, super expensive, cost/benefit=unreasonable).

His reply: These are the showroom-only models where customer won't buy but will feel their (already expensive) not as high end plan is more reasonable.

Essentially it's a part of product marketing segmentation where you create an unobtanium segment that's only there to sell other segments.
Hardware ecosystem yes, but Macs continue to ship with unlockable bootloaders and I expect Asahi Linux to be extremely usable within another year.

Snowplow CEO here. We haven't used Jitsu before but are very familiar with Segment. It looks like Jitsu sits in the Segment product family, along with Rudderstack: basically a Customer Data Platform bundle of simple JSON event tracking, Fivetran-style transactional/SaaS data ingest, and then relaying of data out to various SaaS endpoints plus cloud DWs.

Snowplow started at the same time as Segment (2012) but has evolved along a separate tech tree. Micro-service architecture, cloud native, using Kinesis or Cloud Pub-Sub as the data transit, enrichment framework plus a Confluent-style schema registry supporting very rich and versioned JSON Schema-based event payloads. We are built by and for data platform teams; our open-source behavioral data engine doesn't have a UI (our commercial Behavioral Data Platform does). Hosted trial here https://try.snowplowanalytics.com/

Definitely room for both product families in the market! I'm sure Jitsu will do great.
> one of the reasons nice neighbourhoods aren't built is because it's so easy to make money...

Neighbourhoods require infrastructure, which require a functioning government. Easy money will always be made one way or another - neighbourhood quality is a political problem.

It's like creating new software vs maintaining software.

Most people can only maintain, sort of. It takes a different breed to create and an exotic, rare breed to create well.

I'm not surprised that most politicians are pouring money from one government program bucket into another. That's all most people can do, is maintain. I'm surprised there hasn't been a single political movement worth a shit within my lifetime.
That's super weird. It really recontextualizes the term pay to win. Traditionally it's meant "pay to get an unfair advantage", but now it's quite literally pay to become a winner of a non competitive experience. What mental gymnastics are required to make this seem rewarding? Would it be perceived differently if you were unable to pay other players but could pay NPCs to accommodate the same task; in which case it is a direct 1:1 exchange with the game company? Or if you could pay to just auto complete it, sans the experience of being carried? Bizarre.
> it's just not something I or any other sane homeowner go around thinking about.

> Nor frankly do I have any influence over that.

Very much this. There is no cabal of homeowners opposed to lower prices despite it being often repeated. People buy a house to live in it, they're not paying attention to who is building what. Also nobody is asking homeowners opinion on what build sites get approved or not. If there ever was a proposition related to housing approval it would be in the ballot open to all citizens. Early in the history of the USA only landowners could vote, but it's been a very long time since that's been the case.
> You’re missing a key fact, which is that the best way to increase profits is to have more players playing. How do you do that? By making a game that people actually enjoy playing and tell their friends about.

That's only true till the baseline. After that point, you need to focus on specific players, or you will risk compromising your game by catering for too many tastes, making it generic and bland. Ultimately you will drive people away anyway with your decisions, so there is no real harm in focusing on the money-pots, as long as you stay about the baseline of fun.
this is even worse than what you originally wrote.
Hashicorp makes some incredible software and I love their open source culture. Pretty much everyone I know genuinely enjoys using their tools. Congrats to Mitchell, Armon, and the whole team.

FWIW I have a similar device (Chuwi minibook) and it really is pocketable. However I realized that at least for me, a better keyboard and more screen real estate would come in handy more often than extreme portability (plus support from some of these small brands is pretty bad)

The 90's web was broken with bad assumptions about the viewport for what was supposed to be a flexible layout engine. This is no different that hardcoding for 640x480 and making everyone else suffer.
Ha really? I mean, no one paid me, but thanks?

Seriously, have you ever worked at a place where people (outside of leadership) care strongly about making sure the company does the right thing rather than just accepting the status quo? That's pretty rare I would say and it was very surprising to me.

I'm not saying that Facebook is good. I'm just saying that people paint it like everyone who works at Facebook made a decision to support an evil empire, which does a disservice to all the people there who are working really hard to do the right thing.
I’d say cryptocurrecy has created DeCentralized Finance would be more accurate one enables and furthers the other. DEXs, DAOs, stuff like what AAVE and DAI stablecoin.

There are instruments on instruments cross referencing each other creating entirely new instruments.

Maybe a defi ecosystem empowered by cryptocurrency but one doesn’t necessarily equal the other. The picture is much much larger now with the meta verse angle.
Then they can just say so and spin it as a PR win - "look how security conscious we are these days". Very publicly removing a formerly-headline feature with no explanation and then even failing at that is just mind boggling.

Also known as Angular 1 and Angular 2+ for those confused by the (very confusing) branding. Angular 2 was a ground-up rewrite in a very different style.
While I agree with you and the way you’ve stated it, it should be widely known that tiny groups of highly technical people can unlock huge understandings about how to improve.

Look at the speedrunning community for example: sometimes it’s not just a tiny group, but a single person that sees something that the devs did not, and that can lead to fixing “wtf” bugs for everyone else.
Oh wow, I remember Quartz at BAML… Though this was several years after initial deployment and when core devs left.

One day I will sit down and write a small poem about the insanity of software development based on my experience with Quartz. It will be an intriguing story of love and hate being told through a sensual dance between sales and engineering. The battles will not be epic but the consequences of one’s actions will be far reaching.

It was indeed and experience worth having.
I had a detached retina a couple years ago and it was super scary experience. I am back at 20/20 with some wonderful work by my doctors (and some intraocular injections, for sure), although I am terrified of it happening again with permanent vision loss
