In the Fight Against Extremism, Don’t Demonize Surveillance-Busting Tools like Signal and Bitcoin

How Bitcoin Can Help In The Fight For Human Rights - Your financial transactions say a lot about where you’ve been, what you were doing, and what you intended to do — making them a perfect way to surveil you.

Bitcoin with its public ledger of every transaction ever made by a person, as well as a public record of their current holding is "surveilence busting" or fighting the good fight against having your financial transactions monitored?

IIRC, I briefly had a subscription to a Color Computer magazine, but I don't remember the title. It was printed on a thick newsprint-like material, and stopped publishing shortly after I started subscribing. :-( Later I did subscribe to Hot CoCo. I don't recall (30+ years later) seeing adverts for other assembly language books.

I never did subscribe to any other newsletters or programs-on-tape like I had wanted.

I wouldn't call it serious, more like indifference. Microsoft has been watching viruses and malware spread by emailed office files for 25+ years. They listen to their users when users want insecure features, and are fanatically committed to only incrmeental changes and backward compatibility - like they do in their other products. Some of this of course is the field of industry called anti-virus software, where glorified blacklists of previosuly observed harmful files are dressed in security theater costumes and MS users are guilted into paying various large costs for them.

This bit of news shows that there are people at MS who takes the vulnerabilities seriously as well, but they very rarely have the influence to effect change if it's weighted against anything else.

But there was over a decade of frameworks built on the old "collect everything and use it later" model. By default, even Apache collects enough information to be considered a GDPR violation.

Throwing a dialog up and putting one cookie on the end-user's machine was the simplest possible way; the alternative was a mass audit of all dependencies.

> I remember as a kid, being annoyed that you get penalised for replicating. This is different to nature, where replicating gives you more "processing power".

Perhaps you can make your idea work with some more real world ideas?

In the real world, you need resources to do anything. You find resources in the environment. Be that water, food or sunlight etc.

In Core Wars processing power is a resource. In standard Core Wars, your side has a fixed supply of resources. Replicating just divides that fixed supply amongst more agents. Somewhat realistic.

You can steal other people's processing power, if you manage to make some of their threads execute your code. (In that weirder sense, replicating in Core Wars can give you more processing power.)

Your idea was to hand out the resource of processing power just in relation to how many times you replicated. You found that's not workable.

Perhaps you could come up with a way to make players earn processing power?

I have no problem killing animals for food. I generally avoid torturing them to death though. Of course, in some cases suffering is going to be unavoidable - as in some kinds of medical research, but generally there's a high burden and a meaningful ethics committee involved.

Adobe burned all bridges with their customers when they introduced CreativeCloud, that universally hated DRM app that randomly maxes out your CPU.

Also, before, companies, schools, and universities could purchase a few perpetual licenses and use those for teaching. Now, they would need to spend much more on person-bound license rentals.

So I'd say XD never had a chance because it launched after the customers left.

I'm still being held hostage by them to access my old files, but for every new project, I go out of my way to avoid using any Adobe-specific file format. If others do the same, then XDs only chance is a truly open file format that other apps can also use.

EDIT: If I remember correctly, I released my first self-developed plug-in for Photoshop 5 around 1999. So I've been using Adobe products for a long time. Back then, plugins for hobbyist power users were a big market. Nowadays, that market is dead. All the hobbyists went to Gimp and Inkscape.

Similarly, the Substance3D communities became a ghost town more or less overnight when Adobe purchased the company and then removed Indie pricing. It went from $99 one-time on Steam to $49/month (min 12 months, so $588 annually) as part of Creative Cloud. Suddenly, Marmoset - their long-term competitor - became very attractive at a one-time $119 for students for a perpetual license. I also lost access to my old files there.
That some people just shout that "that is a torture", does not mean that some other do not mean it - in fact, it's easier that those who just shout it (without suffering it the same way) speak of a general fact that may be differently impactful to different individuals.

The idea expressed as «“I don’t like change”» seems quite an understatement, mixing acceptable change and intolerable conditions. It is as if saying "John is unhappy about the neighbour playing the drums in the night: he does not like change".

Why would the "breadth of sharing of the concerns" be an important factor? If something is intrinsically faulty that is not determined by the number of those who notice it. I am used to seeing people living in absolutely indecent conditions and them being just contented - this makes those conditions acceptable to them, but not good or acceptable in general.
Fun fact. Immigration was kept open across Europe during the plague. Poland was an exception and kept their borders closed. They were subsequently spared the ravaging death toll.

“One theory was that Poland’s ruler at the time, Kazimierz the Great, effectively quarantined the whole country by banning all foreigners from crossing the kingdom’s borders, thereby restricting the movement of people who were affected.”

> I could very well see a future where we are forced to watch/acknowledge ads before the actual content continues.

I wonder if skipping YouTube ads is already used in a similar way?

Pressing that small "skip" button is a user interaction that acknowledges the users attention to the ad, and there is usually a minimum time the ad has to run before it can even be triggered.

So having an ad run for 5-10 seconds, with a manual skip, might possibly be a more impactful "impression" then the ads just running trough, without a skip, as most likely nobody is paying attention to them in the very first place.
Unrelated to the primary topic, but I have been trying out a new free (as in beer) app called lunacy [1] for prototyping and the experience has been great.

I am not a UX professional so can't comment on feature parity with Figma etc.

It was however interesting to discover that the native cross platform app was powered by dotnet core & the open source Avalonia framework[2]. It looks quite polished and the framework seems to have come a long way since I tried a few years ago.

That's interesting, I haven't used `tramp` seriously in awhile (ditto `sshfs` etc.)

How do you find the experience of running the build remotely but getting error messages in a local buffer, or running `git-grep` when LSP pukes for whatever reason, or any of the other stuff that is fairly straightforward when emacs is on the same box as the source and build tools?

I don't ask out of snark: I'd friggin love to host emacs on my appliance and seamlessly interact with the real machine, and I gather VSCode has a pretty solid story on this, but I've failed to get that result enough times with emacs that I sort of timed out on it.

If you have e.g. dots on github or whatever that make this fly well I'd love to test-drive it.
> Lexical homogenization is not the same as idea homogenization

Actually it IS evidence for idea homogenization. Words represent ideas. Unless you are claiming that the same word is used to represent different ideas, which would be even more confusing than having different words representing the same idea. Therefore fewer unique words => fewer unique ideas.
The NIH has been narrowing the scope of primate research for some time. Several years ago, they announced they'll no longer fund invasive chimp work. There are regular scandals about the conditions or experimentation on primates that crop up every couple of years.

As far as "research outcome value," unfortunately this is notoriously difficult to quantify for all aspects of the research enterprise. Most of the metrics typically used are abysmal for any serious utilitarian analysis (e.g. publication count, references to those publications, patents approved, funding raised, etc.). And you would not be surprised to hear stories very similar to this one quietly passed around in both academic and industry contexts, where consequences are few if any. It makes many people uncomfortable, but the power dynamics are such that they continue so long as they continue to support career advancement and continue to be approved by IRBs and funding agencies. That's not to justify what's being reported here-- far from it. If anything, I would support a broad ban on primate experimentation with few exceptions.

I like watching YouTube stuff on my iPad to fall asleep, but at times the ads can make that real difficult, and I have yet to find a way to block them on the tablet.

PiHole allegedly helps with that, but afaik PiHole is only a DNS blacklister, and I already have blocked Google adservers troguh my router, tho that does not seem to help with ads in the YouTube mobile/tablet app.
A scientist must solve problems for everybody, period.

And the rest about how must behave, (how humble and grateful must be for being allowed to solve our problems)...

or in what language should be an universal problem solved, (don't we have any professional translators in this planet?)

or how must overcome all those --artificial-- obstacles put in their path (just because, so scientific career became an epic "hero journey in pursuit of truth", grab your pop-corns)

or what party should support, or what skin tone, or type of genitals should have, or what age should have when discovering X...

... all this old tribal narrative is just plain bullshit.

We are focusing in 'who' when we should focus in 'what' is discovered. Is like choosing our food by the pictures in the package and then being surprised for the not-so-awesome flavor

> “I was doing what I wanted to do, and there was absolutely no thought of a career. I was just having a marvelous time.”

This is the gentle message what people --expects-- from the mouth of a successful scientist. Any other simply would annoy the public in your TED talk that has come here to hear comforting words, so is out of the discussion. In the reality is a little different.

Ok, do you have some examples of experiments that you think wouldn't make it past ethics committee but are worth doing anyways to help unlock paradigm shifting advances?

Less fluff more buff is something I experience in a variety of products, and the one I interact with a lot on a daily basis (a cloud accounting tool) has this exact problem.

I was just thinking, as a part of the compensation issues of PMs (release feature, get promoted), are we killing the 'back end' teams in favour of 'front end' teams, because they are more visible?

It seems like requests on core and productivity improvement/power user features are always just forgotten about. Not because they're 'harder to implement' or whatever, but because back end doesn't get the resource and manpower they need?
Why wouldn't I save my booster up in case the next strain is extremely dangerous then?

Why do people think this is normal? Or acknowledge this is abnormal then allow it to be put into law and treat the antivaxxs like garbage.
