Public keys are identity, so, a remote server can (and a famous one does: https://github.com/FiloSottile/whoami.filippo.io) tell you if e.g. you connect to it while offering to prove your identity with keys github knows about, because github provides a list of those keys. That's the extent of the interesting consequences of knowing your public keys.

You can't realistically MITM SSH because you will have a session mismatch. You may be able to convince a naive visitor (coming to some.machine.example with no prior contact, and not using either certificates, or secure DNS protected credentials to verify the identity of the machine) that you're some.machine.example but you can't successfully splice this to a connection with the real some.machine.example if they use public key login.

The reason is, during connection you persuaded the client that you are some.machine.example, but to do that you needed to make up keys since you don't know the real keys for some.machine.example. However the real some.machine.example does know its keys and they're different. The credentials the victim client gives you only work for your keys, they won't work for the real some.machine.example keys, and the client has no reason to present you with credentials that would work for the real some.machine.example, so you can't authenticate to the real some.machine.example as them.
I skipped out on AP English Lit and composition because i didn’t want to deal with all the writing, and I regret that.

I was physically in the downtown core in Ottawa last week. There are plenty of roads with no lanes open for emergency vehicles. My bank is closed because employees can't get into the parking lots they normally use. One of the restaurants a monthly meetup I am part of frequents doesn't feel safe opening up.

If I left my car parked in the middle of the road in Ottawa it would be towed within a couple of hours. It's complete bullshit that there are no laws for the police to enforce.
There is. Last christmas I had the idea to buy iPhones for my parents, side effect of that was finding out that there is 1000+ page manual for every iOS/iPadOS release which is localized for every country where the relevant thing is sold (well, there even is 200+ page manual for AirPods…)

Yes, this is a tiny tiny fraction of outstanding student loan debt, in this case nearly all likely issued under fraudulent pretenses. Since Biden has taken over, similar specific, targeted actions have been taken on small portions of this enormous space.
Presumably if the average earnings of "people who obtained a philosophy degree" is higher than those who trained as a chef, then lenders would be willing to pay more for that education. That seems like a trivial thing for lenders to track and learn over time.
My favorite thing about Gnome is that I don't have to use it. It's there so that the subsystems get used by normal people and bugs get hammered out and I can do the same thing with a small shell wrapper.
Yes, you're hitting the core of the problem. Loan issuance should be based on ability to provide a career with a return that can reasonably pay the loan. No bank would issue a loan for a major with crappy earning potential, so why does the government?

Why would they not have done this before, if they could? Landlords aren't trying to maintain some fixed margin, they want as much as possible, always.
This is a great example of how money and market does not encompass all of life.

I didn't read the book, regrettably, so I'm not sure if that's besides the point, but the value of education is a sum of many values for the society as whole that seems a bit hard to put a numerical value on in a spreadsheet. I think the reductionism is kind of obvious.

Do you think that soundness is enough to convince the people being born now to pursue BTC when they're older?

They'll see it as this thing that the old people are all hoarding, and they'll have none of it... Why sign on for an uphill battle for BTC over any other token?

Seems to me that crypto projects should have tangible side effects, so that future generations can value them (or not) based on whether they want to see more of those effects. Compared to that, a fat BTC wallet in cold storage looks like somebody who sucked value out of their community rather than reinvesting it to make positive changes. Why reward such a person by valuing their tokens?
I think, in part, Caplan has made a fairly classic error in attempting to figure out the optimal strategy for an individual within an existing system, where small numbers of individuals deviating generally doesn't matter, and then using those results to make a policy recommendation about how to change the system en masse in a way that will radically change the system. His spreadsheets don't answer many questions I might have about such systemic changes, for example, would the reduction in college graduates reduce our nation's economic competitiveness? If it did, how would that effect overall quality of life for average Americans? I don't find compelling answers to these questions in his spreadsheets (nor his book).

This is not an attempt to defend the system as it exists now but I think Caplan does a much better job outlining a problem than making his case for a solution.

The CARB standards are per-mile. CARB standards for motorcycle total hydrocarbons + NOx are 800mg per km. For light-duty vehicles (cars and trucks and SUVs < 9000 pounds) the standard is 12 mg per mile (no, I do not know why one is in miles and the other is in km). So an SUV that holds maybe as many as 7 people emits much less.

Of all NOx emissions statewide from on-road cars and motorcycles, the motorcycles emit one third of it, despite being only 5% of the fleet and putting on < 1% of the fleet miles.

Of course motorcycles are usually a lot better on CO2.

This board has a real hate-boner for the PinePhone for some reason. Any phone that isn't 100% as capable as a flagship iOS or Android gets defined as "not ready to be a daily driver", because people think their definition of "daily driver" is some universal constant that everyone abides by. The rest of us who happily use it as a daily driver apparently don't exist in their worldview.

Already in this subthread there's "We're not there yet", "I couldn't conscientiously hand it to a non-techy", "It's nowhere near ready to be used as a phone outside of tinkering", "something that falls apart in their hands like wet sawdust", ...

Yeah, I think Graham was being a little hyperbolic here. Certainly Elon's engineering genius helps the companies, but my guess is that it's primarily through attracting other brilliant engineers, rather than singlehandedly doing all the innovation himself.
What about actual transfer speeds? The signaling protocol gives the max speed. If something is I/O bottlenecked inside the phone it's still slow.
I would argue dynamic linking in itself is still very important, in the sense that if some nasty security vulnerability is discovered in an important core package (OpenSSL or glibc or something), a patch can be pushed out without requiring downstream applications to be recompiled.

To be honest, I don't think most developers have a robust mechanism of tracking vulnerabilities in the projects they directly depend on, let alone the dependencies of dependencies.
I agree that some things seem hyperbolic, but I'm not convinced that audio recording devices scattered around a city is one of them.
Something being the future isn’t very interesting if it’s always in the future. After playing the VR game Dactyl Nightmare in 1992 I figured VR was the future of video games. Thirty years later it’s still the future of gaming. By the numbers, a lot more people play VR games today, but by percentage of gamers, it’s still a rounding error.

Wow, that's one of the most dismissive remarks I've seen here in quite a while. It also does not seem like you could possibly believe it yourself. Education is a huge chunk of everyone's life, of course it's important to know the upsides and downsides. The returns are one aspect (I haven't read the book, it honestly sounds depressing, but I'm also intrigued) and calculating those with the highest reasonable precision seems like an important input to me, regardless of whether we like the answer. Why would you dismiss this altogether as not even worth anyone's time to look into?
Yeah it's a shame people are really limited in their scheme vocabulary. Ponzi is like the 4th best option for a scheme you could compare crypto to.
> otherwise none of the skills or knowledge are transferable.

While I understand the source of this statement and why people often say this, I'm not entirely sure I agree with this, at least anecdotally.

For example, I have a degree in Theater. Which, on the surface, doesn't transfer well to, say, software engineering or law or accounting or teaching or social work.

But is that really true? To pick a popular theatre-related discipline, consider what an actor does:

- They show up on time (to scenes, to rehearsal, to performances)

- They can memorize vast amounts of material in a relatively short period of time verbatim

- They work well with others

- They work well individually

- They can take direction

- They can take constructive criticism

- They meet deadlines under pressure (the show must go on!)

- They can put themselves in other people's shoes (Method acting, ftw)

- They know how to do research (how does a 1940s soldier talk, dress, walk, act?)

- They are comfortable speaking in front of groups

- They can speak clearly and enunciate appropriately (especially good in a remote world with fuzzy tech!)

And so on and so forth...

I don't really care what industry you're in, those are desirable qualities for ANY hiring manager! I would be THRILLED if candidates metaphorically walked through the door with evidence of those skill sets under their belt! This is the holy grail of "soft skills" that everyone looks for, whether you're a doctor or a restaurant manager or a postal worker.

I've had a lot of jobs in my career, but I've never in my life walked onto a job and known everything I need to know. There's a LOT of on the job training -- so much that I might as well be taking a boot camp at every new job!

And so from that perspective, someone who walks in with a theater or really any kind of arts or social science degree and a modicum of Python under their belt is a very, very attractive hire to me. I can teach you our framework of choice and how to run tests and how to use Jira, but I don't have time to teach you how to learn or how to communicate or how to take direction.

Anyway, my two cents.
> If you just want to forgive debt, why limit it to student loans? Why not forgive healthcare debts?

Now we're on the same page! We should absolutely have universal healthcare.

Religious holidays and gambling do not improve our society. An educated, healthy populace does.
It is not. But the furnaces and turbines are already built out. So, everybody continues spending a lot more on power than they should.

My understanding is that the trees no longer exist. We cut down ancient hardwood forests that took hundreds and thousands of years to grow. All of that is gone now except in a few places like national parks and monuments. In its place are tree farms that are harvested after growing for a few years. Instead of cutting down trees that are 4 feet across with beautiful straight grain knot free lumber, we get crap heartwood with knots that bows and warps.

To get that beautiful wood again, we would have to plant the forests, let them grow for hundreds of years, then harvest the wood. Well, that's not going to happen, so we end up in the situation we are in of having to use a very poor substitute.
> Eg is gold a ponzi scheme? "Dug up, refined, buried again somewhere like fort knox with a very small use other than as a store of value. (eg some electronics). Whether you decide yes it's ponzi or no it's not, then look at what other difference there is or isn't between gold and btc to justify the conclusion if that conclusion differs.

It is completely different.

Gold is useful. For electronics. For filling teeth. For industrial uses. This is why gold is valuable.

Gold also has properties that make it a good store of value and good currency. It is durable, portable, uniform, and divisible. That is why people "buried again somewhere like fort knox"..."as a store of value". Any commodity with these properties is treated in the same way (mostly other precious metals).

If there is use value and exchange value, gold has both. Bitcoin currently has exchange value but it has no real use value. So they are not the same.

That is, perhaps unfortunately, not a thing limited to tech companies.

My personal theory is that a lot of executives seem sold on this idea that they'll somehow hire a staff of people enthused to work there, for whom it's their dream job. People who act like that's true get ahead in those companies.
I don't know if I'd say that people can afford schools when the debt mounds are so high for many people who are unable to pay. Strictly a hypothesis, but I would say that while more people are going to and completing school than before, the affordability is actually worse than it was previously because schools no longer have to compete for tuition.
California is no different than the rest of the US in this.

Probably because motorcycles account for nearly nothing in terms of actual miles driven/ridden. It’s incredibly common to find 10+ year old bikes with <10k miles on them. This is ignoring that bikes are basically declining in sales overall too since the 90s.

People just notice them because bikes are novel when on the road. No different than seeing an exotic car.

See: https://www.bts.gov/content/us-vehicle-miles

They’re less than 1% of miles accounted for. Trivial amount. I still think we should adopt Euro5 type standards or something but it’s just not worth fighting over for most of the US. Especially since a large portion of the motorcycle audience is boomers on Harley’s - and that would go counter to their whole lifestyle.
So you knew going into college that tuition/books/boarding was $X and said yeah I am going to do that, you did the math and figured that after school it was going to be paid off in $Y years due to a college educated profession making a certain salary. Now that college is done you now want your financial obligation cleared because you have decided that college degree was too expensive.

So whats the difference between that and someone else who buys a house and realizes that they actually don't want to pay 40-50% of their income on housing payments and demands the Government/or bank give them the house for free due to it being unfairly priced?

Where I have a problem with this line of thinking is it totally throws personal responsibility out the window. You knew the costs and you signed up anyways. Do I think college costs are criminally high? absolutely. Do I think for profit diploma mills are predatory and should be shut down? yes.

I just have a huge issue with people who paid $200k-300k for a liberal arts degree where the jobs pay $30-$70k a year and then demand the government cancel their student loan debt due to it being too high. Its a slap in the face to the millions who never could go to college because they weighed the calculations and realized it does not make financial sense or came from background where they had no support for such an endeavor.

Diving into Wikimedia's Deployment Data
Well from the schools perspective is that they can afford it. I was thinking of it from the schools perspective rather than the student.
I read Blood Meridian a decade ago and still have some mental images burned in with perfect clarity. My favourite (not to say I'm fond of the violence, rather I'm fond of how a novel created such vivid images in my mind) is when one of the gang's horses gets gored. The rider extracts himself from the fallen horse and walks away in a daze, but then stops and returns to unceremoniously shoot the horse. It's analogous to someone being in a car accident and in shock, then realising the engine is still running. I picture it in my head like a Sidney Nolan painting.

Great book. One of the biggest hurdles, besides the violence, is the lack of punctuation, but I encourage anyone put off by that to stick with it. Once you adjust it flows very well.

And with that said, I like the Border Trilogy more and find those novels better westerns, but that's because it's more romance and less apocalypse.
