I think that actually the countries that have successfully fought covid (PRC, Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, New Zealand as you mention, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Iceland, etc.) have done so in significant part by violating the WHO expert advice to, for example, permit unrestricted travel. Your country and mine have about 100 times more deaths per capita than any country in that list, perhaps because they followed the WHO's advice.

Throughout the pandemic the experts, including the WHO, have been very frequently wrong. That doesn't necessarily mean you'll be better off following advice from secret messages encoded for you in game show hosts, or, worse, Donald Trump's actual opinions. But blind faith in experts hardly seems to be justified.

I started with BASIC, then shell scripting, then an internally developed language similar to COBOL. Being self taught I didn't really "get" data types, so the big names at the time like C and Java made no sense. PHP was a crutch that allowed me to learn and experiment with functions that were pretty forgiving. The eventual type related bugs I'd introduce into my code where it would work but not correctly eventually helped the concept click in my brain. I still don't get Java.
Since we're talking about a federated system (xmpp as a whole), I mean "first party" as in "an xmpp ecosystem runner" like google used to be. And "third party" as "any other implementation".

Google had an xmpp system (google talk) for which they have a first-party app which they send push notifications to. No other xmpp app can take advantage of that for google accounts - they all need to run, essentially, an xmpp-bouncer + their own push notification infrastructure and client implementation.

In ye olden days, a google-free version for google-free xmpp accounts could not be built in many cases, as the mobile device's APIs wouldn't let you hold open connections in the background like that - that was unique to the platform-owner (Android / iOS). Now you basically can, but each implementation increases battery use, so there's a fair bit of pressure to use the built-in one instead... which you can't do, Google won't send your app any push notifications that are intended for their apps.

---

The same thing applies to email apps, for example. IDLE just plain doesn't work well enough on phones, so email apps build their own email backends so they can use google's push notification infrastructure to push notifications for google-owned email account events. Google is the first party here, owning the email account and infrastructure, but not sending notifications to other email applications.

And also for basically any third-party app for basically any service. E.g. Talon (a third party twitter app) has to resort to polling Twitter's API to do anything. But those at least aren't federated systems, so though I'm still a bit sad about that, it's much more understandable that it happens.
Proof-of-work consensus mechanism makes sure, as the blockchain grows, transactions become MORE expensive. Discarding PoW in favour of PoS or DPoS just makes 51% attack easier. It's far easier to control 51% of coins than to control 51% of CPU power. We are not talking about single individual but a nation state or a consortium that can control the network. They may not do it for hacking it, but to control it and enrich themselves. Essentially centralizing the token which was supposed to be decentralized and remove the middleman.

> which is based on Internet Explorer's rendering engine and the development or distribution of which is funded in whole or in substantial part by Microsoft

That is not a ban on Trident browsers. It just prevents Microsoft from creating or funding new Trident-based browsers to add to the list. But none of the browsers in the browser choice screen other than IE were funded by Microsoft. The agreement explicitly called for the top 12 browsers by market share to be included in the screen, which included several Trident browsers not funded by Microsoft.

https://ec.europa.eu/competition/antitrust/cases/dec_docs/39...

> but Google definitely did auctions in their equivalent EU agreement for search, so it's likely MS did the same.

Which means it never happened. If it had, there would have been news about Microsoft doing it instead of Google.

In fact, the browser selection was based on market share, and the ordering was alphabetical, and this was documented in the agreement and in the news.

Memfault (YC W19) Is Hiring Software Engineers in Germany
TPMs come with factory "seeds" that can deterministically generate "primary keys" (which are RSA decryption keys, or ECDH key agreement keys).

One of those primary keys is the Endorsement Key (EK). The EK is generally certified by the TPM vendor, and they include that certificate in the TPM.

You can generate your own EKs and certify them. All you need to trust them is: a computer, a TPM chip you trust is legit (probably because you validated its factory EKcert), and physical security while extracting the public key of your EK'.

> If any particular manufacturer would give you the option to just buy the keypair or make it possible to dump it somehow, they would surely get blacklisted.

Yes, well, Internet-scale security (e.g., TLS) relies on the reputation of trusted third parties. The problem is that the too-big-to-fail phenomenon applies here too: what are you gonna do, stop using the one CA everyone uses, the three or four browsers everyone uses, the three OSes everyone uses?

> This whole "trusted computing" thing is treachery to the highest degree.

Oh, it's hard.

The lack of end-to-end security between the CPU and the TPM is pretty nasty. The solution is to use an on-CPU/ME firmware TPM that runs in the ME or in a secure enclave like solution -- no bus to tap there!

But even then, there's just no way to attest to the security of a long-running host. Yes, there's things like dynamic root of trust measurement, but by and large it's hard even to establish what would be a trusted state since, among other things, there's no authoritative list of trusted firmware ROMs or anything like that.

And, oh, right, you meant far beyond the realm of TPMs. Yes, "trust" is really weak.

> You can authenticate to a TPM via HMAC and a shared secret key, ...

> The catch is that the other elements need to be able to store the secret...

Yes, that catch is the problem.

You can also authenticate the TPM to the host w/o authenticating the host to the TPM -- all you need is to be able to record the public key of a suitable primary (say, the EK) on the TPM that has fixedTPM and fixedParent set. Less messy than having to store a secret on the host, but not really enough to solve the reset issue.

Fair point, the online scheme may likely entail more than just checking some boxes. My view of the ideal online scheme would bring the typical "instant gratification/response/feedback" attributes often associated with online stuff, though perhaps its not viable.

Also true that friction with paper is minimal compared to that of doing research. In my anecdotal experience, research can be done while filling out the ballot, perhaps reducing the perceived friction from research alone or making it secondary at least.

This is a very good way to get the job you want. I've known a few people that could not get the position they wanted so they "snuck in" by getting a job, any job, at the company they wanted to work at and then talking their way into the position they wanted. If you show that you are a good worker then managers are more likely to take a chance on you.

Stupid is as stupid does.

As long as business is willing to throw big bucks at online advertising, there will be people looking to tap into the money stream and siphon it off. And by most accounts, they are pretty successful at it.

In most of the world, ad fraud is not even illegal. It's like the perfect crime --- zero risk, all reward.

Instead of trying to prevent the fraud, the ad brokers running the auctions and networks are accused of being one of the participants. This is part of the multi-state antitrust case filed against Google.
That"your app gets initialized and torn down for every request" is _the_ best feature of PHP. This may sound strange first, but it's true. With web applications written in any other language you have a stateful server running all the time with the following "problems":

* If you have a memory leak your complete server will get killed some time later when running out of memory
* If you have a bug which crashes your web server every running request is killed
* You get all the hard-to-find concurrency bugs when multiple requests concurrently can access some objects.

With PHP's model of (1) initializing and destroying all the state on every request and (2) every request running in it's completely isolated virtual space you don't have any of these problems.

And if you really want to have a long-running server with shared space you can have that too, take a look at Laravel Octane.

> Moving away from an inflationary currency that the government is able to keep printing more of and devaluing everyone's hard work, to something closer to the gold standard.

That is Bitcoin creating a problem, not solving one.

Inflation does not "devalue everyone's hard work", deflation does, by pumping up the value of debt relative to labor, i.e. making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

> hopefully in the future the price of the major crypto currencies stabilizes.

Given that their price is 100% based on speculation: not bloody likely.

I don’t find it offensive at all. I do, however, feel like the problems I worked on in many years of PHP were some of the least interesting projects of my career. It wasn’t the language’s fault necessarily but the types of things that language is most commonly used for? Also it was just a different time so PHP is possibly not the issue.
At this point I kinda feel it’s a pointless to try to explain anyone on the values of crypto-currencies (and Bitcoin in particular).

In many online discussions I’ve brought up the values that I see in Bitcoin and then the discussion partner says most of these values are (in their view) not valid.

So I guess people have just dramatically different views on the values of cryptocurrencies that cannot be reconciled.

In the end it doesn’t really matter. I keep investing in Bitcoin and other people don’t. Live and let live. I don’t really see a need to try to convince other people to buy cryptos.
I bet that there is a bigger demand for PHP devs then all the Rust,Go and Elixir combined.

So if you need a job you would probably have better chances knowing PHP then knowing Rust. But if in your area is raining with Rust jobs then go ahead and learn only Rust.

I'd be willing to bet a month's worth of my income that a majority of the population doesn't view it this way. The only people I know who view things this way are very far to the right (and this group is not the majority on the far right by any means).

The only part I'd be willing to bet is shared by more than 50% of the population is that all men are created equal (in theory at least; there are plenty of people with disabilities who would disagree that they are viewed as equals in practice; you needn't think too far beyond who would be sacrificed on a deserted island first and without much conflict).

'The United States succeeds only because a critical mass of us choose to believe in this religion and really want it to succeed.'

Systems ought not require faith in order to be successful. An actor can believe in the good of a system without worshipping it; the kind of 'religion of America' you describe is the framework culpable for many of the worst atrocities the US has committed: Iraq, Vietnam, even Jim Crow or slavery can by tied to a reverence for some fundamental eidolon of 'Americanism'. Separating church and state is meaningless if you turn the state into a church: our systems should be meaningful without the crutch of the founding fathers, the constitution (as a historical object), or the piety of our public infrastructure.

There may be an element of the United States social project which resembles religion, an element that is likely very similar to crypto worship. However, this is not a defense of crypto's legitimacy, but a scathing critique of America's ontological basis.

In my experience/opinion as a programmer, property-bound state tracking (where you say C = A + B, and changing A or B changes C) is easier to understand than push-based updating of C when you change either A or B. Property binding (FRP?) causes the exact set of values dependent on an input to change when the input changes, with no chance to forget (though you can still forget to register a change callback on C). But it's not a complete solution for when you want to take different actions based on what changed (eg. pushing a button to send an email).

Facebook make billions on ads, you don't have to make people believe when you are making wads of cash. And even when Facebook was new the business model was proven to be valuable by Myspace and the many other similar sites making lots of money on ads.

So your post here just strengthens my argument, the fact that you don't see the difference between the two just proves that you have turned off your own sanity checker.

Edit: What we are seeing now is similar to the investment craze in IT before the dotcom bubble. No sanity there, people just invested without thinking. I'll believe in crypto when people starts to think before investing in it.
A public key for a fixedTPM+fixedParent primary on the TPM could be stored "securely" (i.e., read-only) on the host side, and then you can do key exchange with the TPM using RSA key transport or ECDH.

You can also use a shared secret, but storing a secret on the host side is even harder than storing a write-once (at factory), read-only PK.

Here's a choose your own adventure for people new to the field. Pick something you want to build, then see which languages are the best suited. If you want to build several things, see which languages are the most recurring and versatile:

- Web frontend: Javascript/TypeScript

- Web backend: Javascript/TypeScript, Python

- Performant backend (where you manage threads and queues): Go, Java, Rust

- Machine learning: Python

- Command line scripting: Python

- Command line tools (binaries, eg 'ripgrep'): Rust, Go

- Mobile: Kotlin, Swift

- Systems/bare metal: Rust (discourage C/C++)

- Desktop games: C#, C++, GLSL, Rust (in ten years)

Mix and match.

The safest three to learn that give you the most flexibility are probably Javascript/TypeScript, Python, and Rust. You can build almost anything with those three.
