I wonder if there is a bit of survivorship bias in this article. Some kids grow up in a non-friendly environment, but develop the skills to deal with the adversity, and when they grow up, those skills become highly advantageous. Other kids whither and fall apart in such an adverse environment, suffer from low self-esteem, substance abuse, and other mental illnesses, and never get the chance to reap the benefits of being an outsider.
Inertia and other standards are a big force here.

The NIST standards recommending this (SP 800-63B I believe, under "memorized secrets") came out in around 2017, many years after large companies had settled on prior standards. Prior standards were closer to what banks / other biggies were doing and they just kept on doing it. In addition you may have other non US govt policies (UK for example likes to publish policy docs, see: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/passwords/updating-your-a... for their slightly different modern take) which the company prefers to use because of either their own HQ location or large customer pull.

Better yet many different countries requirements and a couple industry docs are cobbled together into a frankenstein set of requirements. That requirements docs is then treated as though it came from Mount Sinai and should not be altered without getting the approval of 3 senior VPs, a professor of cryptography, and the head of IT.

I graduated from Lambda. I did... pretty much exactly that. I hit 250 applications total, did that five days a week, spent a sixth writing a medium article on the sixth, and the seventh I spent away from the computer. I targeted around 3 jobs a day, and would do that first thing, any interviews/coding challenges I managed to get were right after.

It was incredibly demoralizing, especially as I watched other people I knew get hired, or worse not get hired.

Does that count duplicates, i.e. if a thousand different packages depend on exactly the same version of some package X, you get a thousand copies and count it a thousand times?

Otherwise I can't fathom how it's possible for a project to have 47000 dependencies. I mean, my main Linux machine has all kinds of old garbage installed and still the package manager only lists 2000 packages.

I think it's a semi-deliberate pun. It was Planet 10 when people started looking for it. Then it would be "Planet 9", which is confusing. So they called it then "Planet X" as in 'ex', nerdily harking back to the good old days when Pluto was still a planet.

I don't. When I see something like that with such a small sample size, I think that the downvoters just got there first. That could be because the YouTube algorithm put the video in front of people who happen to have higher standards, or who are bitchier, or who are familiar with the poster and their disruptive complaints over on the Slack for $X. Could be anything...anything other than generalizable overall quality.

I didn't snoop your comment history. I don't have any preconceptions about you other than what you've stated so far - which is that you have a deep concern for personal privacy and that you place the majority of the blame for this data leak and others like it on political and corporate meddling by Christian fundamentalists.

While I agree that the best way to secure against leaking sensitive data is to not have it in the first place, I can't see how the internet would be as useful as it is today if no one stored any sensitive data. There have been many data leaks where the information was properly encrypted and therefore of no use to malicious actors. In the case of uploading and accessing pornography I think the tradeoff between privacy concerns and the protection of the public from obscenity is an acceptable risk when good security practice is used. I also think that a large amount of the population in the US would agree with my position.
My point being that my position is not just a Christian fundamentalist position and I still don't understand why you want to place the blame at the feet of Christiana.
Everything I do is saved on sharepoint and onedrive. I don't know what the hell sharepoint is or how to access it or if it is even different than onedrive. but its happening at my institution so, hey.

I always attach real docs to my emails though never the editable linky things, and I periodically rename my doc under different file names to preserve older versions, even though I've heard it keeps autosaved versions somewhere inside the document. I guess I just like the "physicality" of separate document files for security.

All these things said, I actually like one-drive quite a bit. It allows me to easily switch between computers etc.

I am not in the US, but I'm a white male in Australia, so very similar culturally, and no, I don't feel alienated in the least.

So, I'm hoping you are not a white male, as I don't think we can have the tiniest inkling of what it feels like to be a minority. Even travelling in Asia, where we're clearly a minority, I feel like we know on a global scale that even though we may not be the majority of the population, we hold the majority of influence.

So, I don't think we will ever know what it's like. I have curly hair, and I remember my young nieces and nephews being terrified of me. They had never seen curly hair before (well, not a huge afro like I've got). That was my tiny sliver of a taste of being different. But I know, that is nothing, and we still have no idea.
So this is a club for kids?

Yep, it has been effectively deprecated for a while, and now gone in new .NET versions. But when it was there, there was a static checker that you could run, and I thought that's where all the Spec# bits ended up in.

I wasn’t using FOMO at all, just saying that when you get deep into decentralised applications, it’s hard to understand why folks don’t see the huge opportunity. I’m also “not running” crypto since that’s impossible ?
Yes, it does include dupes, that's why I use yarn instead of npm. That being said, sometimes it is multiple versions of the same package, so yes-and-no.
As math is becoming harder,we also have better tool to tackle such complexity.For example,it's probably easier to use a theorem prover which supports homotopy type theory to study algebraic topology and synthetic homotopy theory.However,the problem is that we have to understand homotopy type theory first.

I personally am always skeptical whenever I see a "cancelled" program like this. It is a near certainty that some officially cancelled programs continued development in the classified world, such as the SR-72 or the UCAV.

Admittedly I know nothing, and it's probable that I'm just blowing air out my ass. But I would LOVE to believe that the USG has got some crazy tech up their sleeve. Because hopefully one day they will declassify it and allow for commercial development, just like they did with computers and the internet.

Pluto was still considered a planet in the eighties, so at that point an additional planet (if discovered) would have been the 10th planet.
I think the criteria are more along the lines of "gravitationally dominate its orbit", which due to the perturbations of KBOs this object would do. Otherwise, basically all planets would be demoted (e.g. Neptune has not cleared its orbit because Pluto is there, Jupiter hasn't because of the Trojans, etc.)

> If he could, and the function truly produced a normal response to any Chinese phrase in existence, then he would speak Chinese

I don't necessarily disagree, but it's not so simple. Just because the man speaks chinese doesn't mean he understands it. He could have figured out the proper output for every possible input without knowing what any of it means. If the next person asks in English "what did you talk about with the last person?" what would he answer, assuming he also speaks english? Really the question comes down to if the computer is able to write the book by observing I guess, but even then you could conceive of a different book with instructions on how to write the translation book.

I write art reviews as a hobby and have published my theory in a work called Critique of the Last Man in Film. I view taste to be more biologically predicated in that, quality can ultimately be measured according to a gradient of "healthy" and "sick". Immediately we can perceive "sacred" and "vulgar" and its connotations as it pertains to the subject of the representation. Nevertheless, it is the representation itself which can be understood as a biological expression of life and its experience in the minds of others which we can judge to be good or not. Thus, good art is that which positively resonates with as universal a mind as possible. That claim infers an everlasting beauty is the best art. (Notice I am necessarily relating positive resonances with beauty, not as a metaphor but as an actual electromechanical experience of the brain upon receiving neural stimulation from the body's senses)

Now with respect to originality...that's a separate topic altogether :P

None that really come to mind, unfortunately. There was one called Fanbrowser that used to do this briefly a very long time ago, but that project has been torn down and rebuilt from scratch so many times that none of that functionality is left. One iteration of it let you browse through a directory of interests (sourced from the DMOZ). When you found a site, or if you typed in a URL, it would load that page in an iframe. You could bookmark pages and leave comments which other users would be able to see. Unfortunately, it didn't get much further than that, so it never had things like being able to follow other users or anything else. Plus, iframes became increasingly difficult to work with since web browsers started adopting a lot of privacy and security measures like CORS. But for a brief while, it was fun.

I'd be interested though. While you say priors are off, I'd be very interested in quantifying how off if the two of you wouldn't mind indulging a fool's curiosity.

Like I've met people who could actually give a convincing argument that cars haven't necessarily been the unambiguous tradeoff many believe them to be throw knock on effects in infrastructure and planning.

However, there is also the qualitative look at things as well. Numbers in absolute magnitude we're lower back then, so maybe there's something psychological at work with the larger numbers. There was also a smaller population, lower hanging fruit, the attraction of some level of unknown.

The thing I find most interesting in these disengagements is that they always occur right before people come to terms with "oh, I have to actually lay out my priors." Which is generally, in my experience, where the root of every fundamental misunderstanding is to be found.

Understanding that it's OK to be broken and sad, even if it's always like that, is something everyone needs to learn, and the culture is changing to this understanding being the norm.

Have you read Winnie-the-Pooh? I think the book, more so than the cartoon, reinforces that.

Eeyore is perpetually and, seemingly, irreparably sad and unhappy, and yet it's just a trait that Eeyore has, not a flaw. Other characters are there for him, but his sadness is accepted.

Some of us are like Eeyore; and we should treat ourselves the way Eeyore was treated by others.

That lesson was, sadly, ignored.
USDC only has value because it's pegged to a non crypto asset. Is there a crypto asset with its own clear valuation?

And Eth - it is easy to say that it should have value. But what value should it have? What's my investment model for eth? As I said in my original comment, the value of the whole Ethereum system doesn't necessarily make Eth valuable. Beachfront property is extremely valuable, but that doesn't make sand a good investment.

True, if they comply with the requirements. I just wonder if DAOs, which typically have tokens available to any public purchaser, would fall into a category of securities and therefore public securities, which would violate maybe not the requirements of the business entity but other laws.

From what I understand, and I admittedly don't feel certain on this at all, LLCs are private entities where ownership can only be offered privately, not open to be sold on a public exchange, and many DAOs plan to sell their tokens on public exchanges.

Again, I think laws can change and personally think we need more global overarching governance to deal with internet interactions, yet think that some of these things are quite incompatible/contradictory to current law.

Worse: I once set my E*Trade password to something it accepted but wouldn't recognize when I tried to log in… because it was too long.

After changing it I got locked out of my account and had to call support to resolve the issue. The worst part was that after verifying my identity over the phone they kept sending me reset links and I kept using long passwords generated by 1Password (30 characters IIRC) and it always accepted them when resetting but still would never let me log in.

It took many attempts and new reset links until they suggested trying a shorter password, which was eventually accepted both during reset AND login. Of course the reset page didn't mention a maximum length.
