After using any type of force, lethal or otherwise against a trespasser that type of sign would be used against the owner in court to their detriment.

There's a requirement for "no trespassing" signs to be posted around property but the "will be shot" verbiage could be construed as premeditation since non government land owners aren't allowed to kill trespassers merely for the act of trespassing itself. It literally suggests that the property owner is waiting to shoot anyone who trespasses, which isn't kosher.

Trespassing on government land such as a military base could result in the trespasser being shot accidentally or otherwise and there are typically warning signs posted that will say things like "Use of deadly force authorized".

As a rather privacy-conscious person, I find this argument rather troubling:

> asking for [consent] afterwards almost guarantees you will be turned down.

In other words: I can't ask for people's consent because they might not give consent.

> Even I, as a photographer, would feel suspicious if a stranger came up to me saying they just took my photo and would like some kind of retroactive permission.

The fact that most people would not explicitly consent to being photographed is (prima facie) a pretty strong argument against taking such photographs.

It's worth noting that some people have particularly strong reasons not to want to be photographed. Among them: some religious traditions forbid photography, and some people (e.g. closeted LGBTQ people) need to keep aspects of their lives private.
Yes, and for the reasons I expressed it doesn't work that way for most libraries under Linux.
Greening of the Earth Mitigates Surface Warming (2020)
i would love to have one in my office.

We raise money for political campaigns, could show in near real time how much we're raising. Maybe even show top campaigns or staff.

But that would buy a laptop, and most of our (relatively few) staff don't even come into our office anymore!

A large TV could maybe do both actual real time every second update and maybe splice in some news feed or something.

Alas it's just like seeing the amazing Apple monitor. Then look at price and think rationally; it's not worth it by how much money I make.
Can it really be that decoupled from being ready and willing to improve? What's a skill you enjoy doing that you wouldn't want to improve on? I'm thinking a wide area of topics here from cleaning the kitchen to chopping wood to greeting strangers to writing software.

And the original question wasn't even about that, it was about receiving tips/pointers about improving. It doesn't have to be a "never-ending quest" (although isn't life supposed to be just that?). If you're doing some work, and someone points out how you can do it better, he's either wrong, or you refuse to improve... why?

One "why" is simply because people don't actually like doing what they do. They've simply accept it as a worthy tradeoff for the money they get/need. But they're certainly not willing to do any more than the bare minimum.

Do you have other "why's" that I don't see?

I mean sure, if you like chopping wood with a small axe between your toes and someone tells you that holding it properly with your hands would yield a better result then you're fine telling him that you prefer it your way (because you enjoy it), but if you work in a company where you're expected to perform up to a certain level then you can't really use that argument. Feel free to start a competing foot-chopping company!
I think it very much depends on the circumstances. If people are sitting down and are in an environment where they feel safe, you can walk over with a friendly smile, chat a little, show them the camera and btw, I took some pictures of you that I hope will turn out really nice. I hope you don’t mind, I’ll be happy to send you a copy. Few people say no.

On he other hand, people who are in a hurry or feel vulnerable mostly say no just by default. Does it reflect their true feelings about the matter if they had time to reflect? Hard to know.

In the US the situation should be simple. The first amendment must trump any right to any expectation of privacy in a public space.

People love to say this, and while I agree with the general gist, there are a couple problems with this statement:

1. For large swaths of the population, hardware key-based 2FA or TOTP-based 2FA are too difficult to use, and they can also be more difficult to remediate if the user loses the hardware key or TOTP secret.

2. SMS 2FA is much better than nothing for most people. The bigger problem is when SMS can be used as just a single factor in account recovery scenarios.

3. There is a push to make telecoms more responsible for sim-swapping fraud: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/fcc-proposal-targets-sim...

I shouldn't be arguing with the trolls - but in case anyone was curious about these (nonsense) allegations:

Your links do not document cooperation with PRISM other than that the NSA believed they got information from them, which is very different. For all we know, it could have been the NSA abusing an API endpoint. Also, it said that it got lots of stuff like email, address, and so on when all of these services were combined which made it PRISM.

For all we know, it could have been checking the emails from Apple (because of FaceTime), getting address from Facebook, using address to look up other info on LinkedIn, and so forth. If anything, PRISM shows NSA abuse of services more than intentional compliance.

> definitely more secure devices you could be using.

I hate that I have to say this, but Linux phones are not more secure. They do have a company they don't phone-home to, but if a Linux phone was found on the side of the road, I have no doubt that the NSA would find a way in (unlike the iPhone, which as lately as the Rittenhouse trial, the latest model has not been cracked and the government ultimately struck a deal with the defense for a PIN code).

Linux phones are only secure by obscurity in that less research has been done on them and they are less common - but if government agencies were (or are) putting some research cash into them, I would not be surprised if they burst open from a million attacks that iPhones and Androids have found and fixed over the last decade.

> It's no coincidence that MacBooks force you to use NIST-designed crypto

Stop being conspiratorial - almost everyone, including many companies outside the US, use Curve25519 or P-256, and a big reason why is that the algorithm is very fast to calculate while being reasonably secure, which is a plus for fast encryption. Also, nobody has seriously alleged that Curve25519 is backdoor, unlike Dual_EC_DRBG which was suspect almost immediately. Also, NIST did not invent Dual_EC_DRBG. The NSA did and submitted it to NIST as a standard which NIST reluctantly accepted.

> Shied away from that kind of compliance with a known abuser of human rights

Yes - but Microsoft, Google, etc still make their phones in the same factories, and the reason they didn't hand over the server keys was because they don't really offer any services in China. Google doesn't work in China, and Microsoft's involvement is minor and China doesn't care because Windows doesn't encrypt data unless you have the Pro version and it's switched on. Also, your bias is showing in your use of Apple "happily" complying. How do you know that?

I can go on.
I'm not sure, especially if everyone's house drops in value in a locality. Services like garbage, police, fire, and schools would still would cost the same, right? So the municipality would need the same amount of money, I'd assume.
My strategy for people that need to reach me by voice involves a one step IVR on my own asterisk system. This IVR is linked to a DID that I give out for this purpose. It answers and has a voice greeting prompt that says something like "press five zero zero to be connected". If someone does that, x500 initiates a new outbound call to my actual number, preserving the calling party's caller ID.

There were plenty of cool oddities back then. I had a CD-ROM drive which had a full set of playback and volume controls, a headphone jack, and an IR receiver for the associated remote control. Since back then most CD-ROM drives also had an analog audio path directly to the sound card (through a separate thin cable), you could play a music CD without involving the operating system other than to adjust the master volume (though the operating system could also control the playback if it desired).

Nowadays it's all gotten boring, all we can do is rip the digital audio data through the operating system and write it to the sound card.
Regarding scale:

Bitcoin is a ledger of transactions, it has in the last 12 years had 690m transactions.

Facebook has 2.9B MAU. ~4X the number of transactions ever done on BTC.

Each user probably generates tens of “transactions” (changes to a DB) per month.
Not sure what you mean about layer 2 solutions being similar in cost to layer 1 transactions. See here: https://l2fees.info. Arbitrum and Optimism are both running in "safe mode" so their tx cost will continue to go down.

I agree that the twitter solution isn't great. Just pointing out that Lightning network is a tech that can be used for cheap transactions.

100% agree that none of these solutions are accessible to the masses. Tons of UX issues, most people don't want to self custody, layer 2s can require bridging, etc. But, I don't think it's terribly hard to see how these issues will be addressed and they are actively being worked on

There was no holding. It wasn't an asset I was interested in holding, it was a medium of exchange to purchase a good I couldn't otherwise get.

The coins would sit in the wallet for as long as it took me to figure out how to place an order on silk-road again, where I would buy down to as small an amount of bitcoin as I could.

I got unlucky the last time through and hit it right when the service went down.

Which is funny - because the attitude that I should be hiding my coins away as tightly as possible is exactly why I'm so non-plussed on bitcoin: It's no longer an medium of exchange, it's a speculative asset with price completely unhinged from utility (which in my opinion is basically just buying black market goods).
A "perfect" CoL adjustment can't exist. If it's fairly applied across distinct individuals then it won't be perfect for some of them, and if it's applied consistently to a fixed individual that person has enough tweakable parameters to warp the situation to their advantage and actually prefer one location over another. E.g.:

(1) Bob is optimizing long-term savings, and Joe is optimizing purchasing power for nearby activities like bars and restaurants. After subtracting other comparable expenses, any salary surplus strategy which is a "perfect" cross-city CoL adjustment for Bob will when applied to Joe cause him to prefer a cheaper CoL location because his dollars will go further. Supposing the employer doesn't have power to discriminate based on such preferences, no fair CoL adjustment is perfect for both individuals.

(2) Bob is still optimizing long-term savings. MegaCorp chose a "perfect" CoL adjustment based on Bob's preferred standard of living, but the multiplicative nature of price increases in a high CoL city means that Bob can save a ton of money with a mild decrease in his standard of living. He's incentivized to live somewhere more expensive because doing so will maximize his potential savings with minimal impact elsewhere in his life. If the employer isn't discriminating based on what's paid for rent and other expenses, the CoL adjustment is gameable.

> will get increased income along with inflation.

By magical means of course.

Inflation is a sneaky way to give the poor a wage cut. How else do you suppose the fed is supposed to be able to increase employment using inflation?

Edit: down voted, ok here is a citation from an economics Nobel laureate:

https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/the-case-for-hi...

> when you have very low inflation, getting relative wages right would require that a significant number of workers take wage cuts. So having a somewhat higher inflation would lead to lower unemployment

By its very nature, giving laborers inflation-matching pay raises counters the explicit, intended policy effect of using inflation to increase employment. Or, your employment model could be relying on "let's use increasing prices to light a fire under people's asses to get them to look for jobs". Which, if you ask me, as a neoliberal programme is far crueler, far more pernicious, than any slash-public-services scheme that fiscal conservatives dream up.

Yes, that was my poorly-explained point: given that some people prefer to add the cost and time of commuting (possibly in order to rub elbows or attend happy hour), and others prefer to add the cost of a home office (possibly in order to retain focus or make lunch for the family), the costs might turn out similarly, and therefore I hope that remote working doesn't result in systematically lower salaries for those who prefer it.

In typical SFBA companies I meet mostly token Americans. So there's a huge foreign workforce with many years of local experience, a non-trivial proportion with already with citizenship.

At a certain income threshold, rent becomes irrelevant. The difference in top decile salaries between, say, NYC and Pittsburgh is far more significant than the slight difference in a rent.
I'm sorry, but the final version is FAR AND AWAY the worst version of all the code examples on the page. This tiny class in the stack-allocated version is lightweight, takes up very little space, has great cache locality and performs fantastically: all operations on it will probably compile down to one or two instructions touching memory almost certainly in cache.

The heap-allocated version is so much worse! Not only do you have to pay for allocating and freeing it, every time you reference it, you're gonna have to chase a pointer. Imagine if you had 1000 of these in a vector: the stack allocated ones would be right there next to each other, incredibly cache friendly. The heap-allocated ones are gonna cache miss constantly, and there's ZERO chance the loop is going to auto-vectorize. Show this to a data-oriented design person and watch their eyes start bleeding.

And for what? So you can return null? Just return a std::optional from the factory method if you care so much (or boost::optional if you're on pre-C++17). Or use exceptions. Or just accept the fact that it might return the default value. All of those options are better than the final one. If you're choosing to program in C++, it means you should care about performance. If you don't care about performance for this kind of stuff, just use a higher-level language.
