I’m sure reproducible builds has some small part to play in supply chain security, but I think it is massively over-emphasised.

My own view is that all of supply chain security is somewhat of a red herring anyway. I don’t want to have to trust software vendors at all, whether I think they may have been hacked or not. I shouldn’t have to trust log4j or any other legitimate dependency. And I shouldn’t have to audit the source code (or delegate that) to find out if I should trust it. We run all software with far too many privileges by default.

> Men:women are born at 107:100

107:100 is either the high end of the range or outside of the range, depending on which estimate you look at. 105:100 seems to be closer to mid-range. [0]

> This only evens out by age 40.

Globally, it's actually closer to 50. [1] In particular countries this varies a lot from the global average, and, yes, the US is around 40. [2]

> This is due to suicide rates among men being wildly higher.

No, it's not. Boys have significantly higher infant mortality and males have higher rates of violent (even excluding suicide) and accidental death at all age ranges. Suicide isn't the main differentiating factor.

And my point is this could have been done 40 years ago nuclear and we would be a n far better position regarding climate change. It could have been done 30 years ago after Kyoto protocols. It could have been done 20 years ago when everybody started to take it seriously.

And if nuclear had really involved at all since the 1970s nobody would even think about deploying solar and wind.

Next generation nuclear plant based on first principle analysis have no reason to be more expensive. The reality is such plants can run with little human intervention for potentially decades and the total land and materials requirements are not very large.

The fuel has the potential to be essentially free as thorium is a waste product and if you can run on natural uranium its also basically free.

The key is reducing the total investment to build a plant and the time it takes to build it. Both are very likely if you build plants that are only 1/10 the size and require far less safety and cooling equipment while being able to run on commercial turbines from gas and coal.
I didn’t intend to express it as American exceptionalism, but rather to pick examples that were relevant to my own context. I’m quite certain there are examples all over the world where illegal actions have become celebrated. The last point you make is much closer to my intent: when the law is immoral, it is sometimes moral to challenge it by breaking it. And I intentionally added examples which are not as celebrated because, well, they should be.

It’s odd to frame actions by some in the US to right wrongs in our country as “issues that the US created for itself”. I mean yes, as a country slavery is a horrible stain on our history. But the abolitionists who fought it since before the US even existed and continue to this day are not implicated in that. And that’s my point: rejection of immoral laws and power structures is valid, and equating legality with morality is sometimes and even often wrong.

I think it handles all standards-conforming uses of pointer arithmetic. Even systems-level stuff like coercing an address used for memory-mapped IO may work. For example,

struct dev { int a, b; } *p; p = (struct dev *) 0x12345678;

should be able to set up p with bounds that allow access only to the a and b fields - eg, producing an error with

int *q = (int *) p; q[2] = 0;

Of course, it doesn't fix logic errors, such as setting a flag to true that shouldn't be set to true.

I agree, as the original poster could try watching movies they would enjoy. From the original post: "That said, recently I have some strange discomfort inside when, for example, watching a movie in the evening. It feels wrong to spend time this way when there are so many things I still don't know or understand...".

I feel the same discomfort when watching blockbuster hits (if people really do enjoy them as an escape, that's great that the movies can create enjoyment, but for my personal tastes, it's just not enjoyable), but don't feel the same way when watching classic films (e.g. stuff like the 1931 film "M"). It's a goal of mine to better understand classic film, so I'm making progress on a goal instead of letting time pass by.

So, OP can try watching the American Film Institute (AFI) Top 100 List [0] as a starting point. They can also consider classical books, exploring musical genres, and any other type of artistic medium where there is a sense of reward from enjoying the works.

We mostly use Google at home, and we have Family Sharing enabled. We have a family calendar where we put appointments, recurring payment reminders, and where we note info that could be useful when you look back (ie: gave a specific medication to one of our children, etc).

We also put and maintain our work schedule into it, that way it's easier to plan for vacations.

We also have a shared Google Drive directory with documents related to our home (tax documents, manuals for some appliances, even a document with all the colors used for painting the walls along with the color codes and the finish used).

For sensitive info, we have a Bitwarden "Organisation" set up with info like Health Card insurance, passports, SSN, driver's licence, etc) just in case one of us needs the info when filling up some paperwork.

Now my next hobby project is to build a decently sized ePaper-based calendar/organiser to display our family calendar and other info dynamically in the kitchen.

Are we seriously gone pretend things like putting solar panel on the white house and putting so much emphasis on that was more likely to save CO2 anytime soon?

And it was in fact under Nixon and more under Carter that a number of nuclear efforts were stopped and replaced with things that had absolutely no chance of having great returns anytime soon.

I'm not saying Reagan was better, he clearly didn't turn that ship around. But the assertion that if it wasn't for him we would live in a CO2 free paradise because of carters investment in solar is totally delusional.

As the other commenter said - you need a sense of agency with the actual agency itself.

Intergenerational poverty like mine was able to be overcome because I was given a full ride to college. I took that and rode it all the way to 7-figure jobs. But many in the US aren’t given anywhere near what I was given even if they get assistance. (Tuition waived, monthly stipend, insurance.)

I’ve already put someone else through college and can tell you that changing intergenerational poverty is an incredibly hard thing to overcome. If it wasn’t for me working with my spouse so closely for years - there’s no way she would’ve gotten anywhere near where she is now. That and I poured well north of $100k+ on her for it.

I firmly believe the overwhelming majority of people need a strong positive influence in their life. Normally this would be the parents but poor parents typically ain’t that. I’m an exception - someone who made it out without any positive influences. But I should be treated as that - an exception. (It’s why when I tell my stories they seem unbelievable and unrelatable. It’s just not like any kind of common narrative that exists.)

I think this actually points out a great common ground between the two notions this article is comparing.

If one aspect is education and mindset, but the other aspect is having the financial empowerment required for the education and mindset to be fruitful, then giving assistance that takes away the burden of "getting by" while still empowering the recipient to make her own choices (along with proper education to do so) seems like a great melding of solutions.

Production is of military value even if its not a purely military target.

> Yes killing however many thousands of people will drive down production. It doesn't end the war and it only makes the post war stage more difficult.

If your enemies have more weapons to kill you then more of your people will die. This is a simple reality modern war.

Suicide bombers and suicide submarines were being mass produced and a single one of them could literally kill 1000s of sailors when they hit a ship.

Reducing the number of such weapons existing by a large fraction is of clear military value.

Had an invasion taken place finally (as it would have to without nukes) then the destruction of that production would have been even more essential.
Well, UNIX is surely responsible for C becoming popular (if not its being a thing in the first place).
In your scenario, the app would be incentivized to find you poor matches and to keep you on the app for as long as possible to maximize number of daily active users. After all, who in the world would pay for unlimited access to an app if you only needed it temporarily until you found a great match? And who in the world would pay unlimited access for an app that wasn't full of active users?

The only thing it should be incentivized to do it find you a great match. There is no real reason why it needs to be profitable.
> Barring actual fraud and wholesale theft of art assets, if your idea is copied so easily and consumers apparently can’t team the difference between your game and a clone, do you really have a viable product or were you just the first person to think of an easily commoditized idea?

Under U.S. copyright law, game clones infringe copyright. See Atari v. Philips: Philips developed a game, K.C. Munchkin! for the Magnavox Odyssey2, that looked and played like Pac-Man (which Atari had exclusive home console rights to). The sprites were completely different, the maze layout was different, and there were a few different mechanics. Nevertheless the judge determined that K.C. Munchkin! was similar enough to Pac-Man as to be infringing.

Another example: Tetris, one of the most heavily defended game IPs of all time. The Tetris Company claims copyright on the concept of a falling-tetromino game with the characreristics of Tetris, and has won court cases (e.g. Tetris Holdings v. Xio) defending that copyright. Writing a Tetris clone is asking for contact from TTC's lawyers.

> The example at the beginning of the article looks like it’s different art in the same style. But if it’s a game and not an actual scam, so what?

It's "substantially similar" under U.S. copyright law, which may make it infringing.

> Just another step towards you not owning the hardware you already paid for.

I understand the sentiment, but Intel will argue you didn’t pay in full for your hardware, so you didn’t pay for the features you won’t be able to use.

I see this as a continuum. At one extreme end, you pay a lump sum for perpetual use of the hardware (“buying”). At the other extreme end, they lend you the hardware as long as you have a subscription to their offerings (“renting”). Somewhere in-between, they offer you some basic functionality or a lower subscription rate if you pay a sum up front.

We have that intermediate with cable subscriptions. You get X channels with the subscription, but have to pay extra for others, or for a higher quality signal.

Again, I understand the sentiment, but I don’t think that you can claim you paid for something if the seller says you didn’t, and the seller advertised that you wouldn’t get what you think you bought for the price.

And yes, I can understand customers not being happy about this.

I cannot imagine this bet paying off for Intel, because I will be choosing AMD in all of the workstations for my engineering group. Beyond my own group, I will use my influence to be sure my entire organization avoids them as much as possible.

If anything, I expect this will hurt them where it counts. IT folk will not be amused and find other places to spend their money. The decision to lock up working silicon is radioactive and will have long lasting consequences on buying. I like to imagine this sort of decision being made across the world, as other engineers learn of these anti-consumer shenanigans and make waves in their own organizations.

Now that an annual SF convention isn't the status-quo, the billions in Convention spending aren't going to come flooding back either. The crime, homelessness, drug use, high cost & lack of hotel capacity make it an odd choice.
