> If you take this argument to its logical conclusion all laws and regulations are good and freedom does not exist.

This doesn’t check out. The existence of good laws doesn’t preclude the existence of (other) bad laws.

> It is nakedly authoritarian for the government to restrict, at the point of a gun, consenting adults from choosing their own method of transaction.

This doesn’t factor in negative externalities (e.g. climate impact).
There are so many websites, apps and media services that are slowly being affected by what I call "information ochlocracy", where those types of organizations which rely on large numbers of people for their existence, will naturally start to target the widest audience/viewership/user base, and the quality of the service as a whole suffer as a result.

Here's the law: "The value of information is inversely proportional to the size of its intended audience." And its correlary: "The wider the audience, the less valuable a piece of information will need to be." These both stem from the basic premise that accurate information is more valuable the more scarce it is.

What this creates basically is a situation in which the quality, depth and timeliness of a piece of information or media service will, over time, always tend towards the most broadly applicable content, despite being less and less specifically useful.

In Google's case we can use cars as an example. Ideally, depending on the exact search term, you might want results providing information about buying them or maybe fixing them. However, maybe more advertising money can be made from using that search term to sell Forza or Gran Turismo video games, so the algorithms will detect this and shift accordingly. And since these games are being talked about on social media a lot, the algorithms pick that up too. Maybe some news mentioned the car or a celebrity bought one. The result might be that you're scrolling through ads from Microsoft and Sony, online shopping results of all the related gaming products, summaries of tweets about it, news snippets, etc., and almost nothing about what you were originally looking for. Searches for historical events like Pearl Harbor could have you scrolling past movie reviews before you finally get to a Wikipedia link.

Ochlocracy is mob rule. It's the evil flip side of democracy, in which people actively make a choice based on considered opinions. In an ochlocracy, the choice is made by the whims of the mob as a whole, and they themselves don't even know the choices they're making. As Google and other companies optimize their services, the numbers will always lead to targeting the largest swath of people and as a result the overall quality naturally suffers.

There's more to this, but this is the general problem. In order to keep growing from now on, every year Google's overall quality will have to suffer in order to be more applicable to larger numbers of people.
I think you've perfectly summarized my experience teaching during the pandemic and our goal here.

Something I'm very excited about is the collaborative potential, developers can make modules without worrying about any infrastructure and ship as portable black boxes, while teachers can simply add the modules with no technical knowledge. For me this would have helped tremendously, especially when trying to share tools with other teachers without having it become a full-time job maintaining and bug fixing basic infrastructure.

Hopefully this can help push us away from the proprietary one-size-fits-all tools that have become unavoidable over the last couple of years.

Thanks heaps for the encouragement, it goes a long way :)

> Yeah... re-read history without the biases, and you'll see that that is absolutely false.

I have re-read history. Who has committed more genocides than the US? What non-democratic country has nuked a city? I don't think I'm the one with the bias here. Just in the post cold war era, almost all the invasions have been carried out by democracies.

> Well, Russia has elections. It also jails those who are trying to run against Putin, and Putin controls the media. So you wind up with the trappings of democracy without the reality.

Right. And who do you think controls the media in other democracies?

> (At least today. I think the original election that he won may have been fair.)

So ultimately, democracy gave us Putin? So democracies are bad.

Instead of just blindly accepting propaganda, maybe you should ask why the propaganda doesn't align with facts and reality. Perhaps, as socrates said, democracies are not good to begin with.

If the company does not share its profits in any way with the shareholders, then I agree that it's not different from crypto. The thing is that usually there's an expectation that you will start paying out to your shareholders eventually. There are also companies that already pay out dividends - you can always invest only in those to dodge the "greater fool" problem, at least partially.

Crypto is the evolution of money. It's early days now. The one thing I know is that people are greedy and it's that greed that will make crypto function as part of society.

It reminds me of the early days of the personal computer. Early PC's were useless to most people. But they were the greatest tool/toy to some. They couldn't get enough of it. Now it's crypto. It's mainly useless to most but some people can' t get enough of it. Add greed to that and there's no way people won't find a way to reduce its drawbacks and create useful tools.

Crypto's blockchain brought about the technology that lets complete strangers collaborate on a problem and be sure with high certainty that it's trustworthy. People just don't get how mind blowingly important that is.

It's slow in its development but it will have a great impact in our future. Give it time.
So you're opposed to dividends as well?
tilapia actually refers to a large group of fish from the cichlids group.
The whole plant has to be taken apart at regular intervals (2 years? 1 year?), all the fiercely radioactive "blanket" plumbing and reactor wall replaced by robotic remote control (and the old stuff put where?); and the thousand tons of molten radioactive lithium/beryllium has to be continually sieved for tritium to use for fuel.

If the thousand tons of molten radioactive lithium/beryllium gets loose, it it distinguishable from a fission meltdown by being worse. Ordinary beryllium oxide dust is worse than radioactives; radioactive beryllium might be worse, or only just equally bad. Molten lithium burns on contact with air and explodes on contact with water, and lithium oxide vapor turns into drain opener on contact with your nose or throat.

"Hull maintenance" is I guess your name for dismantling and replacing the whole hundreds-of-tons and miles-of-pipes radioactive innards of the reactor using only R/C robots.

I had to look up what prototype pollution is. This post has a good explanation [1].

The attacker construct an object on your server which contains an own-property '__proto__'. This is straightforward to do if you decode user-supplied JSON (e.g. a REST API) but this alone is not a vulnerability.

The vulnerability occurs when you iterate over this object's own-properties and use the resulting keys on another object. If the attacker can arrange for `obj2[key].value =...`, where 'key' is taken from the first object, then they have modified Object.prototype, which affects all other objects.

This is definitely not the case. I purchased a 32GB 8-core AMD CPU laptop (1060 NVIDIA GPU, unfortunately), in 2019, for $1100. There wasn't, and still is not, an Apple SKU that approaches anywhere near to the performance/dollar.

Apple products have a very distinct and precise market. It's "good enough shit" for "I'm not willing to bother" price. That has _extreme_ value in the modern market. If you're asking anything serious of their hardware then you are, either, ignorant about what else is on offer (having only used Apple hardware for the past <many> years), or have workloads that so-happen to fall into that extremely narrow niche.

I agree with you.

The capability added by crypto doesn’t mean everything else can’t exist or isn’t preferable a lot of the time for most people.

I do think there’s a lot of room for the current tooling to continue to improve though which may make it more of an option for more people.

No other shell or programming language comes close out of the box at the versatility that Bash has. I say this after having searched high and low for shell programming languages, maintaining big bash projects for a multiple organizations.

There are idiosyncracies to java, c, go and rust too. This monoculture of bash is bad is tiring. Paired with the monoculture of go is the new hotness. I rewrote at 500 line python project in 100 lines of bash for more functionality, but at a cost of more external dependencies but they are system deps with a standard abi without having to deal with python. APL has its strengths where Go/Rust is terrible.

Just use the correct tool for the job. And no more of this monoculture. Diverse problems need diverse solutions
Googles priorities have been long shifted from products to money. They are now deliberately doing evil things for more money.

It is like taking small dose of drugs for fun, for sure it won't kill you immediately but it eventually will as people can hardly resist the temptation. Google has been came such a monster, even we know it's dying, but its momentum will keep it going for a very long time. And if it can correct its trajectory just a little bit, the collapsing process will be even longer.
1. A pharmacist might justifiably believe giving a medication to someone when the FDA and CDC have explicitly said not to is a form of doing harm; that they've got good reason to make the recommendation. They, like medical doctors, are empowered to make judgement calls.

3. Strawman. I don't doubt that there are ivermectin-flogging pharmacists just like there are ivermectin-flogging doctors. Your question was "why is it the case that patients with the prescription can't make their own decisions based on their own risk tolerances?"

4. Your question was "Doesn't the prescribing doctor have a better understanding of the patients needs and situation than a pharmacist?" I answered that; they do not always, no; this fact is part of the reason they exist.

This goes a lot smoother if you follow the chain of the questions you asked through to my answers to them, rather than mixing up the context with a blender.
So proton is basically wine, and wine is not an emulator, so there's the first clue. :) It doesn't change cpu architecture.
This vulnerability does not require the attacker to have execute permissions. It relies on the server decoding user-supplied JSON (which should be safe), and then having a code path which assigns "through" those keys. Any sort of object-merge library is a candidate for being vulnerable.
One of the major things that led to the internment camps was an incident where a Japanese fighter pilot who was shot down during the attack on Pearl Harbor was helped by Japanese-Hawaiians who had lived in US terriorty for years. The Japanese-Hawaiians attacked the guard, helped the pilot escape, burned down a neighbor's house, and took hostages. This caused many Americans to fear that the war effort would be sabotaged by ethnic Japanese (and Germans/Italians, who were spied upon but not placed in camps in large numbers as it would have been infeasible to do so due to their high American population) citizens who had more loyalty to their homeland than their country.

>The behavior of Shintani and the Haradas was included in an official Navy report dated January 26, 1942. The report's author Navy Lieutenant C. B. Baldwin wrote: "The fact that the two Niʻihau Japanese who had previously shown no anti-American tendencies went to the aid of the pilot when Japanese domination of the island seemed possible, indicate[s] [the] likelihood that Japanese residents previously believed loyal to the United States may aid Japan if further Japanese attacks appear successful."

What is the vagueness present in a basic credit card transaction? (Not saying there isn't any, just curious what you mean)

Not every transaction needs that level of customer protection, but it's very nice to have. Currently, banks that provide consumer protections are motivated to hunt down fraud, which helps everyone, not just credit card users. It keeps the level of fraud overall low.

And while I do agree some transparency would be gained through smart escrow contracts as opposed to credit card transactions, I disagree it's any more "sovereign". For the system you're describing to function, you need established third parties that both you and sellers trust. These third parties may choose to revoke your access, restrict your purchases, etc in the same way banks do now. In short, crypto still has not solved the trust problem.

(Also, while smart contracts do work for cancelable contracts, being able to "issue" a new credit card for each company as a consumer and then cancel it whenever solves it better and without any blockchain this or that)

The space being wider and the spaces being close to the door are two separate accommodations. Leaving it gravel leaves one solved (distance) and simply avoids the other (width) completely while ignoring that caused a 3rd (gravel if you do manage to get out). The guaranteed width is so there is a standard amount of space to exit the vehicle, see the drawing at https://www.ada.gov/restriping_parking/restriping2015.html

But yes it gets increasingly hard to have a good solution for everyone when there are so few spaces.

That’s only true if you must transact in fiat. It’s mostly true today, may be less true in a future with this kind of restriction on on-ramps and off-ramps.

Even so, it’d have to be a global restriction on all exchanges which is more challenging to coordinate.
The interesting thing is that the equivalent is actually true for Japan and South Korea. The metro populations of Tokyo and Seoul are enormous relative to national population.

Minor note.
If the original data is a time-signal like in electrical engineering (amplitude vs. time function), then the "frequency domain pixels" (its transform) are different frequencies (points in frequency domain: how many repetitions in a second, etc.) and the time-signal's transform function becomes an amplitude vs. frequency graph.

But if the original data is an image (matrix or grid of pixels in space), then the "frequency domain pixels" are different wave-numbers (aka spatial frequencies: how many repetitions in a meter, etc.) and the Fourier transform (of the pixel grid) is a amplitude vs. wave-number function.

Also, note that "take their stuff through extra-legal means" has become an uncomfortably common strategy in the west. Things like asset forfeiture, debanking in a myriad of forms, increased government intervention in financial systems, changing the rules suddenly every time a totally forseeable at some point financial crisis comes up (there is one every 10-15 years! they aren't surprises).

It is completely reasonable to have some assets that the government cannot take away from you without actually going through the court process, putting the screws to someone and arguing to a judge that a crime took place. And that inflates in a predictable, controlled manner.

The last 3 years has convinced me that I will own crypto by the time I die. Not bitcoin - indeed, I don't know what protocol it will be yet. But something.

With less cars on the road as time goes on, I hope walking and public transit becomes a viable option. You ever seen kids going on the metro busses or light rail? I’ve only ever seen this in cities, and never in suburbs where I live now, except the kids who live across the street from the school.
1. I love the design decision of using composition to expose mutable file system features in a way that nicely mirrors design of io/fs.Fs

2. the addition of a standardized test suite is a nice touch. I might start doing that with my own projects. This is the kind of thing that could really help accelerate the plugin ecosystem around a library or application. Plus, it can double as API documentation.
There’s also the risk of more advanced attacks that exploit the WiFi chipsets themselves, which are a real problem when they muck with the driver (which usually have DMA access to the os) and trick the os into overwriting kernel memory.

That said, this is more a problem of connecting to untrusted WiFi than unencrypted WiFi.

> transact against the will of a powerful adversary such as governments.

I would not personally be quite so confident that a state actor (or a well-capitalized non-state adversary such as a criminal organization) would not have the ability to severely curtail, if not outright eliminate, some other party's ability to execute cryptocurrency transactions. Most of us have no idea what unexploited vulnerabilities these sorts of organizations have found, and they didn't get to be as powerful as they are by habitually playing an ace up the sleeve when a three will do.

Compare with the proverbial suitcase full of cash. From a security perspective, it has the interesting property that transactions involving one don't have to be publicly recorded and processed on a public, global, openly accessible peer-to-peer network in order to complete.
