I am not a cryptography expert, so please take what I say with a grain of nacl. The parameters you choose for public key crypto systems can weaken the cryptographic properties of the result. For example, nonce reuse can single-handedly destroy your security. Similarly, with RSA, padding is crucial to security. Even if you write the extension ISAs such that they never choose parameters, there’s still probably some room for their to be broken output that seems to work.

"Audi car keeps nagging car owners who decided against premium features when they bought their car."

Would be appropriate too, I think. It is one thing to just not include a certain feature, but it is another thing to still include a button that only has the function to remind you of a possible paid upgrade.

People thought that they bought a car, but they also bought a relation with a company. Like people who buy a smart TV and think they bought just a TV set. Actually they bought a TV set and a relationship with a TV producer who now keeps sucking up their data and shows ads on top of the programs that they intended to watch. How should I call this? Smartphoneification of everything? Is this a good thing?
>FWIW, my favourite source port is Crispy Doom.

Ditto. I used to use Chocolate Doom, but I want to play Boom compatible PWADs which don't requiere ZDoom (old Celeron+Mobile 4 series user there, GL 2.1 it's a bitch). Also, the changes from Choco to Crispy are almost nil except liming removing support.

Man, I love Doom, Slashem, IF gaming and some libre games which maybe not as graphical intensive as the current AAA games since... 2005? But they are crazy replayable.
We are first familiar with this concept of payment activation in software where all product units are identical and the cost to produce an additional unit is 0. To implement this same concept in a machine is a little funnier. If this means the car units can be produced identically, at a lower cost of production per unit, I understand why companies do this. But it is also a natural human reaction to be frustrated by this concept implemented mechanically where the cost to produce is >0. Both sides have a point.

I am actually sympathetic to this view somewhat. Copyright is not an inalienable right, it's something that we decided as a society to grant to people because we think the benefits outweigh the costs, and that may not be true. Personally I would be in favor of radical changes to copyright such as reducing the duration to something like 5 years. Artificial scarcity is useful but life+70 years of artificial scarcity is far beyond reasonable.

> Professor Michael Clarke, a defence and security expert and a specialist adviser to the House of Commons Defence Committee, has said that the images coming out of Ukraine are clear evidence of war crimes. He told Sky News:

"The deliberate targeting of civilians is a war crime in and of itself, every day of the week. So unless somebody can provide a military logic why civilians are targeted, that is a straight war crime. Civilians who appear to have had their hands tied behind their back and were shot. There’s no strategic rationale for that whatsoever."

As to the response from Russia to the accusations, Clarke said:

"They always deny it. The Russia deny everything like this. They go through three phases. First of all, they deny everything. And then they try to obfuscate, they create stuff on social media, which indicates 'Oh it’s all very complicated and this was going on at the time, and that was going on, and no simple answers are possible'.

And then a couple of years later, they often admit it and they say yes, yes, we did do this or we did do that, but you do the same. And they point to some sort of moral equivalence in the West.

They did it over the poisoning of Litvinenko in 2006 and Skripal in 2018. They did it over the bringing down of the civilian airliner over Ukraine. They always deny it. They always do. And nobody believes them. That’s the point."

Why tacky? I get it, from their point of view, it saves costs of manufacturing and logistics ("Customer wants car with button that does feature X, dealer only has cars without this button, now customer has to wait for a different car to be shipped or the button to be shipped and installed by the dealer, which will cost a few hours of the service department's time").

Of course they should've had a "Customer experience" department who would've told them how this improvement of their workflow would annoy the customer and look bad for them.

Infrastructure as Code Should Feel
I’m a textual person 90% of the time for the speed and flexibility. But I’ve found visualizations of my textual thoughts — after writing them — in the form of a mind map to be quite valuable in some circumstances. Mostly to communicate vision in a way that’s not top down.

At the end of the data, an endlessly tab indented text file is no different than a mind map. Instead of text files I use infinite list tools such as Dynalist, which have a great feature to convert your list instantly into alternative views such as mind maps.

No. We do know this. We know cognitive ability varies between people. It's obvious to everyone who's competed with others in mental competitions, and it's born out by a century of psychological research.

Maybe those people would actually not succeed in Big Tech.

There may be a certain amount of "plays the game" necessary to succeed in one of these roles. If your first thought is "well what I would do for these companies is better than what they would want me to do", then that's exactly my point point---They may actually care more about your ability to take orders than about your ability to solve problems independently (even if they say the exact opposite in their culture talking points).

Is that optimal for the company over 100 years? I don't know. Is it even possible to know?

Just speculation.
> When Apple lies about performance on a stage... It's clearly from Apple and people treat it accordingly. Nobody relied on that information or even believed it.

Different markets require different tradeoffs. Flying things can tolerate higher cost, if it comes with a higher energy density, ability to charge/discharge quickly and (in some cases) higher cycle life. In this respect, sulfur-ion batteries might be viable even at 10x price compared to cheapest batteries on the market.

Grid storage is all about the price per kWh. Sodium-ion batteries ([1]) might become a good fit, while they are absolutely useless for electric airplanes / drones.

This is the best write-up of the Softbank business model:

https://www.readmargins.com/p/softbank-robinhood-and-a-margi...

In short, the background of Softbank founders is in plumbing of the financial system. They intentionally bid up dubious companies into obviously unsustainable valuations, with the aim to make them highly illiquid. Faced with illiquid stocks, many of the assumptions behind trading models break down, and obscurities of the financial plumbing come to fore - the water Softbank knows really well. Eventually, index funds include a portion of the bid-up companies on their balance sheets, FOMO investors roll in - that's when Softbank unloads their bags

There's a point past which it falls apart. I can just lower my expectations to the point that I don't expect my basic human such as food etc. to be met and be happy? Really?

The only way I have seen where this actually succeeds involves believing there is something better than this existence, available on the other side through the deprivation. And at that point, arguably, there is not a lowered expectation, but rather a new, heightened one.

How standard is that in the private sector or non former state owned enterprises? I haven't looked at the NL market in a while but most tech jobs I saw back then were 40h/week.
Most credit or debit cards support offline transactions, so a shop can keep a battery powered terminal that reconciles when it comes online.

This is simply a reflection of the depth of design (visual and user experience). I'm saying contemporary UX and UI mostly ignore, or are ignorant of, the platform being used and its features. That's not necessarily the case with shoelace, the loading is simply a design decision made to look nice and I presume not much more. The shoelace component system is ok. It reflects a lot of work applicable to what has been possible and borrows from what has been possible the past few years. I find it interesting to see the details in systems and approach and would avoid using this product myself. I haven't reviewed it enough to get past the general impression that it's too complex to be worth the investment and has some weaknesses in the system and technical design. If I were doing a masters in visual communications it would definitely be worth a look, or if I wanted to lead a new project like it as well--to take the understanding of the problems and approaches.
That sounds plausible.

So if they want to upsell this feature in the future, the actual cost of installing the physical button (five minutes in a workshop) would dwarf the cost to install the hardware (0, already there).

And so they decided to apply asshole interface design towards these customers. That's not a great solution.

What are some useful tools for running a development environment for each dev?

I think we can be a little less confrontational in the discussion. I also believe that it helps not to impute bad intentions to the other side, but to assume that they make mistakes (like every side), but also try to achieve the best possible outcome under the given circumstances and knowledge at the time.

Especially during Corona I think you have to distinguish clearly between politics and science. Science has the great advantage that it does not have to deal with feasibility. It can call out what works best (after appropriate studies have been done with good study design). Does science make mistakes? Sure. Still it is the best methodology we have. Does politics make mistakes. Oh - absolutely. Also probably some politicians wet their pants in regards to the power trip they had. Still - I think the majority tried to do the best they could.

However, especially at the beginning of the pandemic, a lot of what we know today was yet unknown. So a lot of decisions were necessarily wrong in hindsight. but right under the given circumstances and the goals of the people involved.

Was it known that N95 masks (very likely) help? Yes. Were there enough N95 masks available for everybody? Probably not.

When I look at how toilet paper was hoarded in Germany at the beginning of the pandemic and how there was almost nowhere to get toilet paper, the political action was not so stupid. Because N95 masks would have been off the shelves in minutes.
So letting people wear any masks (at least they help a little bit) and let as many people as possible stay at home as much as possible and in public only gather at an appropriate distance. Not too bad an idea when dealing with too few effective masks as a limitation imho.

When enough masks were available, the requirements for masks were tightened (although not enough, in my personal opinion). But again: I know a lot of people who think wearing masks is important, but have a hard time wearing N95/FFP2 but are fine with surgical masks due to for example panic attacks. The fact that currently quite a few public places like universities demand FFP2/N95 to be worn permanently makes for a bad situation for these people as they can't partake in their courses under this regime. While nearly all over Germany mask mandates fell yesterday.

Also taking into account possible long-term consequences of a Covid disease for children (or anyone), it was unclear for a long time (and partly still today) whether there is/was a corresponding danger. Therefore, one can also see appropriate measures here as a balancing of protection of society vs. individual liberties.

And that people are not the best at acting rationally in groups (sorry - but I have become very cynical and misanthropic during Corona) and to act reasonably in the masses we see again and again. Without coercion, most people (in groups) do not behave sensibly.
“Here we are now”. Oh please, not this rubbish. No one forced Putin to invade and commit war crimes in a so-called “brotherly” neighbour.
There is huge variation in ability.

I was valedictorian. That might be achievable through work. Fair enough. But that's nothing compared to what top-tier minds can do.

I also had a childhood friend who tested 4 standard deviations out on a psychologist administered IQ test in high school. We had similar backgrounds. We sometimes "tied" in grades, but there is a huge gaping ability gap between me and him. You cannot study your way to that level. The raw throughput, creativity, and abstract conceptual ability cannot be achieved through practice. Maybe you have to see it yourself to believe it.

And really this shouldn't surprise us. There is huge variation in athletic talent, and anyone can see it. Why should our brains be different?
I think your question is from 2018 :) Have a look at Delphi Research (https://delphidigital.io/research) and Messari.io (https://messari.io).
It's better to start late than never. You probably have only a handful of high-value accounts. Emails, hosting, domain names, utility providers, social media.

Then you can focus on anyone who has your private data. E-shops and such that store your address. Realistically those can be pretty damaging if they get breached - even if your password doesn't leak in plain text, your name and address would be up for grabs.

But think about adopting the habit of gradually building up your discipline and addressing old issues as you revisit old accounts.
I recently read about a discovery that may explain that preference.

Psychologists have realized that it is easier for humans to remember a list than a set. That is, memorizing objects AND the order in which they appear is easier than just memorizing the objects.

A lot of our memory is based on sequences. We may think of it as extra information that clutter our memory capacity, but it is actually not the case: have things in a given order, in a given place, in a given color, and it is easier to memorize than if you remove information.

A short summary is the British assumption that massive artillery barrage would destroy the German defenses and allow for British troops to walk through easily. Unfortunately they used shrapnel shot which did very little to the defenses and worse, left the barbed wire installations untouched. Advancing troops then got stuck and were mowed down

I'm in Europe too, and I have never seen an imprinter either, but I keep being issued cards with embossed numbers, so I figure they must be good for something, if not imprinting, what else?

I'm concerned about the phasing out of cash too as a separate issue, I just don't think the cashless options should have to be subject to artificial limitations like requiring electricity or a network connection to be able to be used. I guess online transactions with chip and pin are much more secure and should be the default, but retailers could keep a log of outages that they are required to submit along with the imprinted slips. They could be corroborated with the logs of the utility companies as well as other businesses in the area, and if something doesn't make sense it could trigger an audit.
