The following design[1] uses _two_ pluggable analog noise generator boards (since you don't trust one). The writeup will be of interest to the paranoid in this thread.

Are you serious? Is this just a way of getting out of admitting you don't really care about LGBTQ issues? Because the idea that we'd otherwise be making any kind of meaningful progress on any those issues is stupendously naive.
You're gonna have some similar thing no matter what gets settled on, unless there's a flawless protocol out there but those are pretty rare in my experience.

I think the comparison is more like "is having an ad-hoc semi-standard wire protocol built around the postgres one better than having none at all?" and I think the answer is yes.

But it's not like there's an authority making this choice for everyone. If you think something else is better then use it in your tools and push for it. Postgres is ancient, open source, widely used and adapted for many different use cases. I think those all make it hard to beat in just a practical "worse is better" type way, but I also think people saying "no. we can do better" is good too, esp when they demonstrate it.

>by helping track the supply chain, the same way that having an air quality monitor can help improve your air quality.

It is about making them cheap enough to be ubiquitous in the supply chain. Of course some middle-class-to rich people will also have access to personal devices, but the point is to make it cheap enough to become part of the supply infrastructure. Plus if the devices and do real-time reporting of results via an app, this could also even enhance the supply chain monitoring by red-flagging hotspots early - benefits their poorer neighbors too.

I have a BIL who's job is water & sewage monitoring. He's told me about how they have sensors at key points throught the system so they can identify when someone is dumping (often illegally) toxins down the drain into the system. The idea is to both find it as it is coming in to be able to make quick adjustments, and also rapidly ID the locale and then the source to stop it.

Such scanning systems in the food supply chain could be enormously valuable, and it will require them to become inexpensive and fast. And no, I do not begrudge rich people (even those who became rich via extraction vs creation of wealth) access to the tools - by buying them before they are truly cheap, they help increase production volumes so that it enables the production of cheaper versions.
I do this as well ... except in the apps that break this. (Aarg!)
People build all kinds of layers. Consider for instance

https://www.pcworld.com/article/394895/what-is-valve-proton-...

Proton is a system (based on open-source Wine) that lets you run Windows programs on Linux. Back in the day there was something called Cygwin that worked in a similar manner in the opposite direction.

There is a certain amount of overlap and/or competition between language runtimes and operating systems. Back in the 1970s and early 1980s home computers frequently had a "language system" instead of an operating system, typically it was a BASIC-based environment but it could be FORTH, LISP or some other language. My first computer was a TRS-80 color computer with just 4K of RAM but it was good enough to learn programming on because a language system is thriftier than a real OS.

With the IBM PC however you would usually boot into MS-DOS and then run a BASIC interpreter (initially BASICA but then there was GWBASIC...) and I remember doing the same with the OS-9 operating system and BASIC09 on my Coco once it was upgraded to 64K of RAM and a disk system.

Thus it's pretty clear that "running a language runtime under an OS" is competitive with "running a language system on bare metal."

Java in particular has a sophisticated runtime but you find a pretty high level of services offered by a Common LISP runtime or many other languages.

And of course using emulation, virtual machines and similar methods you can run just about anything on top of an ordinary OS.
Most NICs have one or more CPUs to service offload engines. This could probably happen right now.
The operating system doesn't need permissions to see anything on your hard drive and it is the operating system that is enforcing the permissions so it can filter the results afterwards. Also, an index can be stale and show files whose permissions have changed that you shouldn't be able to see so the permissions have to be checked on the search results either way.
For proper bootstrapping I'm looking forward to gccrs (https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs) alongside mrustc.
Sounds to me like a terrible OS design, to have such arbitrary things as video decoding, require a kernel extension. Microsoft move drivers, such as GPU, to user space, to escape exactly issues like these. This is likely done for the sake of DRM, which is even worse.

Luckily, there are already mitigations for risk of loss, notably backups and multi-signature wallets. Both have tradeoffs and additional mitigations. Backups are additional single points of failure but can be protected by passphrases. Multi-signature is more complicated but has no single point of failure and redundancy.

Future developments like covenants (restricting future spending of a coin) will create even more secure storage, systems that allow you to claw back stolen funds using backup keys for example.

Nearly impossible to fully enforce via tech - there are many ways around a tech ban. Decentralized exchanges, TOR, VPNs, etc. can get a round a tech ban.

A policy ban is also an implicit admission that the government's position on money and finance is weak - if the US bans bitcoin, that implies that the dollar can't compete against bitcoin on its own merit, without the enforcement of violence.
> Koyfin is a competitor

Koyfin is not a Bloomberg competitor.

Refinitiv is the nearest competitor to Bloomberg. (But even they struggle, especially on Bonds).

Second-tier competitors being CapitalIQ, and Factset. (But we are already at the point of quite noticeably not being at feature/data parity).

Third-tier competitors are people like Infront.(By this point we've moved very far away from feature/data parity that its blatantly obvious).

Then we get to the swamp level ....

Stuff like Koyfin and similar are NOT competitors by any stretch of the imagination, not for Bloomberg and not for any of the Second/Third-tier vendors either.
I found yabai to be a little buggy when I moved over to an M1 Mac from an Intel one. Haven't tried it for a few months now so maybe it's time to hop back in. It's an amazing piece of software if you're used to some of the TWMs available on Linux, it made the transition into MacOS much more manageable.

I don't know, but they're comparable in sophistication and foresight to people who keep a large percentage of their crypto wealth in a single-signature wallet. Neither one is a good idea.

It isn't difficult to set up multisignature wallets, where you can lose some subset of the keys and still retain access to the funds. (It's not easy either, but it's not difficult, and there are companies like Casa and Unchained making it easier.)

Just like someone might keep a couple hundred dollars in their wallet/on their person, a couple percent of their wealth in a home safe, and the majority of their wealth distributed across multiple locations with various failsafes to access it, someone might keep a couple hundred bucks worth of BTC in a wallet on their phone, another percent or two of their BTC in a single-sig hardware wallet in a safe at home, and the majority of their BTC in a 3-of-5 multisig setup with only two keys at home, one in a safety deposit box, one in a trusted family member's home, and one in the custody of their attorney.

Yeah, I have multiple sets of some of these sounds in WAV format, as do many others. Hard to believe anything about them is "endangered"

In fact, why isn't this site providing a downloadable link to these files? If he is really interested in preservation, they should provide a download link instead of paragraphs of fluff.

Because the really endangered concept here is the notion of "files", which anyone publishing anything on the cloud seems to want to do away with.

I imagine it's probably mostly learning curve, but having tried for at least a few dozen hours to get over it I'm not sure the pain is worth the possible gain especially when pen displays are pretty cheap these days.

For those that want an (additional) source of entropy, the FSF offers[1] a USB HWRNG[2] that uses ADC quantization noise. It seems to be simple and clever enough to get the job done. True to FSF form the source is available if you want to adapt it to your own MCU. The data provided by mine passed all the randomness quality tests I could throw at it.

I don't know if it's still maintained or not, but the developer proposed a public entropy pool[3] which looks interesting. Full disclosure: I haven't looked at it closely enough to understand how the trust model works.

This is very far off topic, but a user of an Alpha workstation might have had much higher resolutions than 1024x768 available to them with, for example, Intergraph-produced video hardware. The workstation in question (we've actually wandered pretty far past the "20 years ago" mark with this particular machine) might have been ancient enough that an MPEG-2 video decoder would not have been a thing, but just playing a bunch of AVIs on a desktop with 1920x1200, or 2048x1152, or something of the sort resolution would have been available, for a price.

~22% of the US population if you equate being unbanked or underbanked with holding your wealth in cash.

Worldwide, the percentage is similar.

Of course being unbanked isn’t equivalent but it’s likely very nearly so.

Not to mention, the chances of being unbanked are higher for vulnerable populations, especially those who might benefit from uncensorable money.
One "debate me" is pretty cringe, but two, I don't think you'd find anyone who thinks those are serious suggestions.

Not that you're wrong about anything that you've said, but your implication (and that of the blockchain punditry) is that somehow crypto is the solution here, without ever exaplaining "how".

The idea that crypto is "out of reach" of governments, regulators, law and oppressive regimes is one of the fairy tales that crypto pundits believe that is simply not true.

In a country that is unbanked and financially oppressed, even if you were loaded with BTC, and even if all your suppliers of food, housing, energy, clothing, schooling etc were somehow setup to transact in BTC, no-one explains how they'll just "bypass" the financial system, tax system, government regulators or the people with guns. There is a naive certainty that people can "sidestep" the formal system and no-one will ever come knocking. In unbanked, oppressed countries? This fairy tale that the "system" will just keep working but the "nasty government" will throw its hands up and go "YOLO BTC what are you gonna do lol carry on everyone". Please. It's the easiest thing in the world to pass laws outlawing this stuff, and then lean on infrastructure, network providers, suppliers, etc etc..

Nevermind the transaction fees that make this untenable anyway. Perhaps the poor oppressed can just write everything down on paper to settle accounts at the end of the month/quarter/year/never and dodge tx fees. Of course, L2 networks, problem solved.

Anyway. I suppose BTC growth has to come from somewhere. So why not exploit the global south further under the aegis of yet another colonial missionary expedition to save them from themselves. This may make life worse in the end for the savages but hey, a bunch of us will get richer.
I don't think crypto is a pyramid scheme and your statement is an opinion not a fact.
The Cold War ended when the USSR couldn’t fight it anymore. It was expensive for both sides, an expensive war of attrition.

Problem was, making it honest and open allowed all to see, and say out loud, how screwed up and repressive it really was, and it fell apart because it was held together by unwanted force.

Yes, to an extent that would work.

1) Take target image

2) Find the index in π (say) where a matchable sequence of bytes occur, like for Waldo. (If your image is big, this could take several years of computation time.)

3) Transmit the palette, width, height, and index: about 800 bytes.

4) Probably the index is too far out for everyone to have a copy of the data already (it would be beyond terabytes). So the recipient then spends several years computing the number out far enough.

5) Profit!

Note: the palette is optional; you could leave it out and only transmit about 32 bytes. Using a palette also means lossiness, because you're reducing to 256 colors and making compromises between pixels. But using one saves you several orders of magnitude of computation time.
