This very year, my sister started college after 5 years as a chef. Her math was shit, especially since it was already not her strongest subject in highschool, 5 years prior. She started very low and ended up average (she's going into biology). With help from me and Wolfram alpha (sry about that advertisement but it helped a lot). She was graded below average even though she showed more progress than at least half her class (since she started almost at the bottom and ended up in the middle). She doesn't care, but still think she is bad at math, when she just had poor teachers in HS and showed learning abilities at 23.
Many computers have TPMs or Secure Enclaves or whatnot these days. Many CPUs have similar or subset functionality built in. Why don’t manufacturers start to add hardware entropy sources? Then /dev/*random could source entropy from a driver, not an algorithm.

Yes, I know that it only fixes things going forward, and I know that the answer to any question that starts with “why don’t they” is “money”.

Sigh.
It’s the price point. You can get BMWs for the same price and they’re definitely luxury cars.
> And while the governent largely paid most.of this grifter's rent, my family member was still out over 15k in lost rent and legal fees.

Not "the government". Taxpayers. Taxpayers bailed out rent seekers.

> you'll see a lot of small, private landlords get out, only to leave large corporate landlords who will have much stricter rental policies.

If this were to happen, it would be a good thing. Consolidation erodes the electoral base of rent seekers, which makes Georgist policies much easier to implement.

But it won't happen, because...

Google blocked our payment profile for Riders App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whitescape...). After 2 months of providing all of the required docs and getting auto-declines, I've talked to their support and they just answered (quote):

"I have consulted our specialist about your account. Our specialist team has determined that this profile must stay suspended due to violations of our Terms of Service. We’re unable to discuss the specific circumstances of this or any suspensions.

Our Google Payments Terms of Service states that Google Payments Corp. reserves the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, including availability of the Services, or any Service feature, without notice or liability."

The app has nearly 25k of positive ratings and currently one of the most popular apps for action sport participants.

I frankly don't have any idea what to do, that's super sad.
So you wouldn't be in favor of a carbon tax? What about a tax on tobacco sales in a universal healthcare system? (to offset tobacco users' additional healthcare costs)
UK has PAYG tax, Australia is similar, if you have a job, perhaps some shares it is zero work. No max salary to worry about.
My employer provides an annual fund for work related software, books, etc. But each charge requires me to file a form and get a human approval. Doing this once a year would be easier than once a month.
Probably worth noting that it's a metaphor for why the government can criminalize opposing a wartime draft.

(Probably worth noting why they can't.)
I stopped using TurboTax after it told me I owed $20,000 to the District of Columbia. I went to an accountant and DC ended up owing me money. Clearly I entered something wrong in TurboTax, but the experience was enough for me to decide paying someone is worth the money and frankly saves me much time as it only takes me minutes to send my information by email and another few minutes to review the results and digitally sign.

Most of my income is from W2 and some 1099 here and there. As others mentioned, America is backwards and the politicians and 1% keep fleecing it towards Romes fate.

I love seeing those on the top get fleeced for a change, unfortunately this will just be a slap on the wrist.
Computers are a tool, do you think builders like hammers?
That is a payday loan that has 100% AAA collateral at loan shark rates, on a system that you are trusting like your dentist to do the right thing. Nice.
Very cool looking editor. Even this vim diehard will give it a shot. I’m always looking for anything new or an improvement that could make life better.

I don’t love the emacs bindings but I’m open minded.

Again kudos to the author.
Definitely. Especially surprising for a long time to me, given that their early songs seem really simple (She loves you...). And while that may be true, what one must realise is that the Beatles kind of started out as a cover band, as a "live juke box" really playing in clubs. So even before they published the first album they had a routine of hundreds of songs from memory. I think this cannot be underestimated as a foundation on which they built in their later years.

Compare that to today, where someone who picks up a guitar learns two songs and can get into a rabbit whole on youtube learning all about jazz harmonies, and song-composing, yet will lack the routine that these guys had when their career really launched.
Given the DSM keeps CPTSD out in the latest version 5, no.

Frankly until it does mental healthcare in the US won’t move forward in a substantial way as they keep trying to treat people with trauma with CBT and medication. Still the PTSD dx works for those with CPTSD, so it’s not all lost. But it gets really tricky since so many diagnoses are almost subsumed with the concept of CPTSD.

Extremely hopeful for MDMA therapy though. It has huge potential.
I wanted to give this a try but...

Not interested enough... :/ Took long enough to compile with its ~260 dependencies. Each Rust project I want to cargo build, I end up fetching & compiling >200 dependencies (the same ones, not sure if different versions though), and then by the end of it all it fails.

I am going to rm -rf it, I need the space anyways.
Stock AMD coolers are also terrible. The one I got with my 3700X was terribly loud. Replaced it by a Noctua and it is barely audible at all (in comparison).
You can buy an induction stove/burner designed for wok use too… These aren’t as popular in the states because - surprise - most people don’t cook with woks.
You could make a website where customers can sign in to download the software. When they click download, the site can create a signed S3 download link that is only valid for a few minutes (long enough for the download to complete). That's what I did for my online store (https://dashboard.vuplex.com). On the backend, it uses the getSignedUrlPromise() method from the AWS S3 Node.js SDK:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.h...

From the user's perspective, they don't know they're downloading it from S3, because my site triggers the download automatically when they click the "download" button.
Probably not, we need more recognition but as of now it's not an official diagnosis :/ I don't meet the official criteria for PTSD because there wasn't just one event. It hasn't restricted me getting treatment so much but you can get misdiagnoses and have to advocate for yourself more. Once this is approved it would probably be available off label for anyone with trauma but I doubt they'd let people with CPTSD in the trial. I have been turned down for trials in my city due to this.
On a separate note, I'm not sure I understood the problem with crediting writes to random as contributing that many entropy bits when the write happens by Admin & the pool isn't yet initialized. It seems like it would largely solve this class of problems without introducing any security issues, would it?

There are existing startup scripts out there that write, as root, completely predictable data (the example given is the kernel commandline in Android).
I like how one of the reader letters is about "Classic Computing", already a thing in '92:

>I enjoyed reminiscing with your article "Gone But Not Forgotten" in the May issue (p.18). I don't use my old machines regularly, but I periodically pull out my Franklin Ace 100 (Apple II compatible) that sits in my basement. It was a powerful machine at the time with a huge 64K. At one time, I hooked up six 5 1/4" floppy drives to run a computer bulletin board from my home. Today I can fit all of that on a single 3 1/2" disk and still have room for my System 7 software. Thanks for the memories.

SVGs can use alt tags.
For comparison, as an example of how other developed/developing countries do it:

I’m a South African citizen, I get an SMS that a pre-filled-in tax return is available online.

I can then log in to their online portal and accept it or amend it and submit it electronically.

Currently I can usually just accept and submit it.

Some years I might need to add or tweak income and expenses, but broadly speaking they are pretty correct.

They have all the income and benefit details from standard corporate employers, expense and contribution info from medical aids (something like medical insurance, but a bit more sane as far as I can tell), investment and banking contributions from financial service providers, etc.

You can opt for extra deductions which require extra paperwork from your side. And they don’t always have income info from side hustles or correct expense info from “unusual” arrangements between you and your spouse. Sometimes your $BIGCORP’s finance department can declare your benefits incorrectly which needs fixing.

But for most middle-class income earners I suspect they can just log in and click accept.

You can pay money and use a tax consultant to see if they can navigate the current rules for a better result, but unless you have a complicated setup you don’t need to.
From MAPS's comments on the Yensen/Dryer case:

"Updated announcement March 25, 2022

This a public announcement of additional information obtained regarding the conduct of former sub-investigators for a MAPS-sponsored clinical trial, initially publicly reported in 2019. We make this information public as part of our commitment to creating a culture of safety in psychedelic therapy and in alignment with our core value of transparency.

The initial ethics complaint was reported to MAPS in 2018 by the participant. The complaint specifically identified the unethical conduct as occurring after the active treatment sessions had concluded in 2015. Yensen and former sub-investigator Donna Dryer verbally confirmed that Yensen engaged in a sexual relationship with the participant. Sexual contact between therapy providers and participants is unethical conduct of sexual abuse in violation of Section 6 of MAPS Code of Ethics for Psychedelic Psychotherapy and generally accepted standards of care. In 2018, as a result of the ethical misconduct, Yensen and Dryer were barred from all MAPS-related activities and from becoming providers of MAPS-affiliated MDMA-assisted therapy if the treatment is approved.

On Saturday, November 6, 2021, MAPS staff were interviewed by a reporter who had viewed videos of clinical trial therapy sessions for the participant described in the original announcement below. Session video is made available to participants in MDMA-assisted therapy clinical trials for private review upon request. The reporter characterized former sub-investigator Richard Yensen’s behavior in at least one therapy session as “disturbing.” This characterization triggered a compliance review which was initiated Monday, November 8, 2021.

The reopened review of conduct during the trial period includes a review of previous documentation, all available videos of sessions from the sub-investigators, and information reported in media accounts of the participant’s experience. Though the review is ongoing, MAPS has provisionally determined that Yensen and Dryer substantially deviated from the MDMA-assisted Therapy Treatment Manual on several occasions during the treatment period.

MAPS has notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, Ethics Committees, and relevant authorities that the review has been re-opened. We will continue to keep regulatory agencies, ethics committees, and relevant authorities apprised of any developments on this case. Changes to MAPS policies, practices, or materials made as the direct result of the review will be reported publicly at maps.org/safety."[1]

Also see MAPS's article on the Cover Story podcast regarding this issue here: [2] It contains a pretty informative FAQ in which MAPS addresses what it sees as misunderstandings in the media coverage of these events.

Where I live real estate developers are building like crazy.

A lot of these houses are cookie cutter aesthetics. The same five designs again and again. I’m pretty sure they mass produce the columns somewhere.

Also, since they only make money on the first sale, a lot of new houses aren’t very high quality. If a house needs $50,000 worth of repairs, the developers don’t give a fuck.

As a homeowner I have an obvious conflict here. But I don’t think “lifting zoning restrictions” is a magic spell.
You've more than likely thought of all these, but ...

Social sports team? Chess club? Book club? Poker night? Karaoke? Political party? Hiking club? Cycling group? Volunteer as a scout leader? Sign up for a class or two at the local maker space? Get a plot at the community garden?

Get started with something formally structured, and you can choose whether to stay or move on once you've met a few people. Repeat a few times, as required.
And the real reason is: we've closed our previous bank account to open a new one. Google tried to send a payment to our previous bank account, it has returned, they instantly locked our payments profile and that's it, the whole story.

> There are towns in the US where the local government consists only of a couple of people who may only do local government work for a few hours a week

How does anyone authenticate anything allegedly issued by such small parts of local government?

"Not very quickly" is presumably one part of the answer?
I don't know that she was especially committed to carrying it off well. She didn't file tax returns at all for 2017-2020, while working and presumably getting a W2? Isn't that just asking for someone to look at your situation?
Gave you an upvote. CBT has done so much damage and really is a step backwards for those with trauma. It's ridiculous how all the knowledge we have about trauma still hasn't hit the mainstream psychiatric institution yet and 9 out of 10 times with the average provider it comes down to "Have you tried CBT?" versus trauma informed treatments that actually work (somatic therapy, IFS, EMDR, ketamine/psychedelics, stellate ganglion block, etc)

The irony is you may not believe you're really traumatized if you've been spent 10 years in standard CBT being gaslit about your "cognitive distortions" and wondering why it's not working...
Some even have instructions to halt and catch fire.
Very different population sizes and land mass. The US is way more spread out than in the UK (730 per sq mile in the UK vs. 93 per sq mile in the US.)

In the US the Top 100 cities (each will have at least one police department) have just 20% of the population.

You have a police department for almost every state, county, city, and town in America. And, the US has about 3000 counties and 19,000 towns (with about 14,000 being 5,000 or fewer people.)

"break" in this case means made less random/more prone to malicious attacks, hence made less secure. The code won't break in the sense of visibly failing; it'd just silently switch to being less correct and more vulnerable - which is arguably worse.
That's not how SVE works. Any given SVE CPU still has a fixed vector width at runtime, but the CPU exposes instructions which tell you the vector width and other convenience instructions for performing loop counter math and handling the "final" iteration which may not use a full vector.

Then you need to write your loops in such a way that they work with a variable width: i.e., doing more iterations if the vector width is smaller.
They currently have more than enough control over the fed to be able to plan this kind of policy. They simply need to choose the next head of the fed to be one that agrees, as they already do.
Interesting bit of background there, thanks.

I do believe in the free exchange of ideas, the right to oppose government etc. All the usual concerns about who watches the watchers, abuse of power if granted censorship rights etc etc etc, are perfectly valid.

But the notion that free speech necessarily promotes positive progression in an honest marketplace of ideas, or the discovery of 'truth', seems naive and really quite outdated.
> it's well known bankruptcies stay on your credit report for 10 years.

But it's less well-known that Chapter 13 bankruptcies stay on your credit report for 7 years, which had already passed. Chapter 13 represents about one-third of all bankruptcies.

Chapter 13 is less common, because it's more difficult to go through, and takes longer, but it has substantial benefits.

The article doesn't say what chapter she filed under, but it's easily plausible that it was Chapter 13, and the bankruptcy had already fallen off her credit report.
Yeah probably, but that doesn't explain why Intel's higher-end coolers do have a cowl. Surely the higher-end chips need VRM cooling way more than budget-mode i5s, especially when run at stock power limits.

FWIW, when I tested (I'm the author), I didn't see any VRM throttling, even on my dinky budget motherboard. But then again, my power limits are set to Intel's recommended values and I'm not overclocking or anything.
Not to mention no criminal history and strong ties to the community. Plus family that would be hurt if she broke bond.

it's the simplified case of score voting, which is even even more accurate with a scale like 0-5. albeit at the cost of simplicity.
MENLO PARK, March 30 (Associated Press) - In what was widely characterized as "at least a dick move", malicious hackers of unknown origin were discovered yesterday to have been spamming the entropy pool of thousands of McDonalds self service kiosks with the phrase "i can haz jalapeno cheezeburger" during system boot.

While the direct ramifications of this action remain unclear, informal discussions are already being held in various constellations in congress to probe whether the FCC should be given an extended mandate to regulate randomness, according to several sources close to the food sales tech stack regulations sector who requested to remain anonymous.

In response to the swift call for regulatory action, several privately held businesses that supply PoS devices for tea shops have pledged to promptly deploy OTA updates that replace all sources of randomness in their systems with an infinite repetition of the second amendment.

Said Harry Parks, 37, of International Teaselling Machines Inc. - "In this country it is the given right of each man to select the randomness that he wants, so be damned, and I will happily sacrifice the security of my customers to make a stand for the unique freedom and liberty we have in this country."
There may be more of us here, even in the FTTH-flavor.

There are some imperfections, mostly related to bonding+ospf and vrrp-grouping but if one does not mind some warnings and a little scripts, one can make things work nicely.

Let's just say that BGP-signaled redundant uplinks and routing as close to the customer as possible are to strive for, instead of starting with a L2 port-isolation-pyramid nightmare.
First, most locks work with batteries and notify well in advance about low battery, they also come with a old fashined physical keys, so in case it dies, you can still use the key instead of your access code. Second, they work without internet, you need internet only if you want to be able to add/remove access codes remotely while not physical present.

About finding smart locks dystopian, I feel like a lock that notifies lock/unlock is far better than say a device like nest cam/door bell with abilities to capture video/pictures and for whatever reason are more widely accepted than smart locks.
Thats not at all the vibe I got from reading this. Instead, the author pretty specifically lists the things they instead choose to spend their time on and why it’s not computers _anymore_.
Yeah, that's a great suggestion.

I'm guessing I'll try to talk somewhat about preagricultural astronomy when I go over the astronomy of paleolithic peoples. But you're right that there's a lot we don't know, and even just talking about what we don't know would be interesting.

The Seven Sisters stories are fascinating. As I recall something like 60 or 70% of cultures enumerate seven members in their story and the other 30-40% enumerate six. (Maybe I have that backwards.) Even more interesting, a small number of cultures have stories about how there once were seven, but one of the sisters died, leaving six. There's a great paper that argues that due to the proper motion of one of the stars there were seven stars visible tens of thousands of years ago, but that it is now too close to another to be distinguished, leaving six.
