Then you should already be gravely concerned because, as I've stated: Apple is last to the game here. Google and Meta each with significantly larger audiences than Apple are already doing this. Since Meta in particular is social media and the main source of casual political dis/information for the masses this would be the low hanging fruit that you're worried about.

The vague "this is a serious concern because my government is shit" requires a person to ignore a lot in favour of a little.

>QUIC improves there, TLS handshake starts immediately and UDP setup needs less round-times compared to TCP.

hmmm abit skeptical on the less round-times. Are the all the round-times in TCP to ensure the integrity of the connection. With UPD it is my understanding that no confirmation of receiving packet is issued. So a server can send out a signal, but never can be sure if the client got it. I can see it can be great for multiplexing/broadcasting, but the switch the whole http protocol over like this, I can't imagine there won't be tons integrity and security issues.
It’s much more likely the central bank is worried for the stability of the UK banking system in case of a Bitcoin collapse than Bitcoin somehow making the monetary system redundant.
If bitcoin keeps dropping 50% every week for the next 5 years, it still won't be zero. And every 50% drop, someone's thinking "Now could I double my money?"

I dunno, there are feedback mechanisms that could keep this thing alive for a long time. And if not BTC then certainly some crypto based on the concepts.

Jokes aside, I wonder does the fish comprehend that it's seeing the world from under a cover.
And you think the above are genocides like the Armenian genocide or the holocaust? Organized and mandated as an official part of the church trying to eliminate a certain ethnic or national group?
The only one that seems to fit the bill is the ethnic cleansing in Rawanda which didn't enjoy support of the international church hierarchy and is pretty recent. EDIT: This is actually a terrible example, the massacre happened at a catholic church where lay people and religious sisters were killed by another ethnic group. this is not fairly a 'catholic church' genocide but rather a masssacre at a catholic church during an existing genocide.

Was the purpose and intent of the school systems were to kill the pupils? I'm unconcinced the narrarive around the schools in Canada is pretty weak too - theres really no way to call that a genocide without deliberately hiding some or all of the facts.
I'll have to double check but I think you're stretching things a good bit.
I will admit this is useful, although the fluctuations is a PITA and if you can do GUSD it is better. I've done this to pay contractors in Brazil and other places with high banking fees.

Random choices, permutations and timing of vendors will make it difficult to determine cause and effect. No control groups. If there are future adverse events, they may be attributed to a specific human rather than a cohort of peers.

This could justify more observational surveillance and testing, laying the groundwork for future personalized treatments, including unique vaccines. In that hypothetical scenario, rare injuries could lead to more live trials on those humans.

> And you better be damn sure that your changes are correct, crap rolls down hill very quickly when it involves very senior people.

That's an organizational problem though. We have a culture where, given a choice between "let it burn" and "quick fix with potential to blow it up (rather than put out the fire)" - responsibility for fallout in case it blows up lays with the person making the decision (the senior manager/cto) - not the person doing the work and describing the trade-off(s) (this should work - but there's a non-trivial chance it can blow up).

That said, work for fixing the aftermath does flow down hill.. It has to.
Agreed, chartalism as the only explanation for assigned value is clearly empirically false. But as one mechanism, or perhaps one of the stable or reliable mechanisms, is somewhat convincing to me.
It seems that many of the arguments against this system rely on believing governments (or similarly powerful groups) will strong-arm Apple and fabricate evidence.

I fail to see how this system (which I'm not a big fan of, to be clear) makes it easier if you assume governments can and will fabricate evidence. Doesn't seem you need an iPhone, smartphone, or to have owned or done anything at all in that case.
How much packet loss does average internet traffic has on average?
As mining bitcoin is only worthwhile with ASICS there will be no flood of electronics entering the market at low prices, being used for something more "worthwhile". You could argue this is a feature and not a bug. I, as many people before me, thought about a cryptocurrency with a "useful" PoW like protein folding but if you would create such a thing it would be very susceptible to attack by govt or any big private actor because if you could mine cryptocurrency with general hardware then acquiring said hardware for an attack has 0 cost. You could acquire hardware for the attack, crash the currency then just use it for the protein folding.

So the fact that the mining hardware can't be used for anything else is a feature which makes bitcoin more secure against attack.
There's a fundamental difference between you sending files to a company server which are then scanned, and your own hardware constantly monitoring you for illegal activity so that it can report you to the authorities.
we might be underestimating the market for drugs as that seems like the primary use
It will likely just fallback to http on networks like that. Shitty ISPs and corporate networks are why we need fallbacks like that. I would suggest using a VPN if you are on such a network.

The only downside with HTTP 2 & 3 is software support. If you are in Google, you probably already use it just because the load balancer supports it. With self hosted, you are dependent on whatever you are using adding support. I remember playing with SPDY way back on nginx for example. It wasn't that hard to get going and it made a difference for our mobile users (who are on shitty networks by default).

With anything self hosted, security is indeed a key concern; especially if you are using alpha versions of new functionality like this which is what you would be doing effectively.

Wasn't that a computer virus?
Also worth remembering that in many locations people will get a survey about side effects after vaccination. That means they be asked "did you experience any heart issues" which is not something they think about every day. If they really think about it, maybe they did that week. And it may or may not be something they experienced before.
I never understood the big deal about this. If you use most cloud file synching services you are already being scanned, and if you don't, this (CSAM) thing wouldn't have affected you anyway.

The main rebuttal is that people claimed that Apple could expand the scanning to photos you aren't sending to iCloud. If you believe that though, then not using Apple devices (regardless of whether they implement CSAM or not) is clearly the move.

tldr: if you trust apple, this doesn't matter, and if you don't, you shouldn't use apple devices anyway.
You are right we don't need more studies, your hunch is sufficient.
At first glance ransomware might seem like a perfectly sufficient reimplemention of the taxes/violence thing. But that breaks down completely when you realize how willingly that particular Caesar would be taking whatever form of payment offered. I suppose it fully reverts to the theoretical grounding on taxes/violence of fiat once that ecosystem of shell consultancies set up for embargos and tax deductability comes into play.

Surprisingly very few attempts via http calls, and while some are on default ports, most aren't.

I think most obvious attack methods will have been closed. It's the routes like "naming a rogue AP" method that will be interesting.
Ask HN: Tool for doing embarrassingly parallel processing on cluster
I'm looking for a tool that surely exists but I can't seem to find it. I have thousands of small video files, and I'd like to process each one independently across a cluster. The processing can defn benefit from GPU for some parts of the workload (e.g. object detection); it is all pytorch code. Ideally, would like to use cloud computing for this (so EKS would be preferable but can also spin up machines and setup slurm, etc. if need be). I've looked into GNU Parallel, Dask and PySpark. I'm a bit frustrated that most examples assume you have numpy arrays/csvs at the start .. surely there exists a tool that deals with this at the "files" and "scripts" level? I feel the closest match I have seen is Hadoop but again, one where I can chain scripts together.
Having a USB kill switch in this case could (would?) have escalated the arrest method to something more violent.

I love Joe Rogan and his podcast, but be aware that we live in such a complex world, any representation will be a mis-representation to some extend.

How much of a mis-representation is extremely hard to judge, because often it's not done deliberately.

Wikipedia says about Peter McCullough:

"During the COVID-19 pandemic, McCullough promoted misinformation and falsehoods about COVID-19, the COVID-19 vaccine, and COVID-19 treatments."

That's definitely concern to be very skeptical.

Do you want Java to do deep packet inspection on all network traffic?

Because Java supports naked sockets [1], so that is what you would have to do to block the network traffic from containing .class files.

(Or remove the capability of real networking. I suppose we can agree that a language which doesn't support networking is quite limited in its use nowadays?)

“One state is doing terribly” (or even a handful of them, before someone mentions the Weimar republic) really is not equivalent to “it is impossible for a state to do it well”.
> If you want to lose, share everything and expect nothing in return.

Interesting philosophy from someone with their open source projects on their profile...
> That's like saying the $ or any other currency is entirely replaceable.

No it's not. That's just another reduction missing the point.

If the dollar was to be replaced, a new currency would be issued, there would be a period of trade-in for old currency, all systems of governance, regulation, etc would recognize it and issues could be handled.

Gold would still be used for everything from electronics to satellite coating to who-knows-what.

In the case of Bitcoin it would just disappear. You're arguing it's hard to replace because of its participants, which may be true, but is far less likely than the participants in the dollar.

Some businesses dependent on it and a lot of individual participants would lose their value in their wallets, and that's it. Believing in Bitcoin is betting on that being enough to prop it up. Gamble accordingly.
I tend to agree. I sometimes fantasize that it were otherwise, but I don't think it's really possible to maintain a society of any size or sophistication without a state to do a lot of the fundamental things that keep things moving.
Obviously not everyone assumes that Bitcoin will be more valuable in the future.

I left Twitter because I got bored of the conversation, too much noise and irrelevant chatter. When I joined clubhouse I was disappointed to see the same people and chatter, and a lot of crypto everywhere.

It also felt somewhat formal, I felt uncomfortable seeing myself as a listener in a square. It was ambiguous whether I was a passive listener or I had the possibility to be active. I have a thick accent so I prefer to communicate by chat.
What’s great about HTTP 1.1 is it’s simplicity. I mean, you can explain it to a complete newby and have that person write a functioning implementation in a few lines of shell script, all in one afternoon.

In fact, you can probably figure it out by yourself just by looking at what goes across the wire.

And yet, it runs the whole modern world. That’s beautiful. I think simplicity is underrated and it’s something I really value when choosing the tools I use.
You could namespace the Pico styles using SASS. Basically like [1] but you'd extend it to be e.g.

.pico-enabled *:not(.piko-disabled) {
@import "layout/document"
@import "layout/sectioning"
@import "layout/container"
...

Then you can do this:

<div class="piko-enabled">
...
<button>A button with Piko styling</button>
<div class="piko-disabled">
<button>A vanilla browser button</button>
... and any 3rd party components/elements etc ...

I knew this was going to turn into a debate on polyamori lol. I'm not going to answer your comments, but it suffices to say you probably don't suffer from your open-mindedness :)

(Agreement or disagreement on open relationships being immaterial to open-mindedness. The open-minded attitude is to consider what might make a stance true. Instead, to preserve your priors on open relationships, you're forced to assume a bunch of things, such that I am lying, and that I am unhappy, etc...)

Your comment about the social zeitgiest is interesting. Where I live (in western Europe) open relationships are quite unpopular (despite being more popular than they've ever been). I actually expect the same to be true in the US, outside of some affluent circles (if we're talking about in-the-flesh relationships).

How would you define conservatism?

(I don't consider my definition as negative btw. I have a conservative mindset on quite a few things where I think improvement is hard, or we're stuck in a local optimum and the cost of getting out would be currently unbearable.)
>> Think a bit more about this. How many countries, how many people, how many hospitals you would have to silence to make that happen.

I'm generally with you on this point - governments just generally aren't that competent to EG fake the moon landings. However, I do look at how the narrative over the COVID 19 lab leak theory has changed from "You are racist and cancelled for even saying it" to "This sounds at least possible, if not probable."

So I don't think (if it were the case vaccines had harmful side effects) that it would stay secret forever, but it might stay secret long enough for people to take the vaccines.

yep, Israel is one of the data point i used:

https://www.science.org/content/article/grim-warning-israel-...

" Israel has among the world’s highest levels of vaccination for COVID-19, with 78% of those 12 and older fully vaccinated, the vast majority with the Pfizer vaccine. Yet the country is now logging one of the world’s highest infection rates, with nearly 650 new cases daily per million people. More than half are in fully vaccinated people"

more-than-half. Say 55%. 22% gets 45%, 78% gets 55%. I.e. the 1/3rd as i said.

When I read a book once I learn from it, but I miss a lot (understatement!), too. Why would it be any different from a video? What I should like about a TED talk is that its to the point (lunchbreak amount of time so not requiring long attention) and uses a form of humor or cleverness to bring a (or multiple) point(s) across. Such helps with information sticking, forming a long-term memory. Some books do this too, many don't. There's a lot of bad books out there, and a lot of bad videos. The good thing about a video which contains noise is that you can combine the content with something else, and focus on the good parts, but it doesn't help with forming long-term memory because you can only focus attention on one thing (there's no such thing as multi-tasking, just like how a CPU quickly switches; we're single core.). I do this all the time with podcasts, Netflix, etc but not with a book (nor audiobook). A book requires my full attention, even when its boring. I can't put myself to skipping stuff in it, even if its boring, even if its fiction (I'm missing stuff regardless, but not knowingly). Knowingly skipping feels wrong, except quitting. Quitting is always OK, unless its mandatory content from some authority (boss, teacher, mom, child, etc). I feel like a reference to Learning How To Learn (Coursera course) is also appropriate given its a solid foundation on the subject of how to learn, how learning works, and how to improve such. When I went to private high school, the first course day contained similar content, and its valuable. Anyway, a TED talk is IMO meant as a short summary to learn about a subject. If it interests you, you dive deep into it, and people who watch a lot of TED talks are akin to generalists who want to know a little bit about a lot of things (akin to refusing to specialize). Which has its pros and cons. The world needs both, e.g. both 1st and 2nd line helpdesk.
The nominal interest rate doesn't account for inflation. Suppose countries A and B have nominal rates of -1% and 2%, respectively. Now suppose their inflation rates are 2% and 6%. That makes their real interest rates -3% and -4%, so if you borrow from country A and park the money in country B, you are losing money despite B having a higher nominal rate.

Moreover, what OP is describing (infinite money mechanism) is an arbitrage situation, so any risk-free profit opportunity would quickly vanish and parity would be reached.
