Is this sarcasm, or did you just reply to the wrong comment?

As an opt-in measure under the control of the user these changes are not unreasonable for certain security contexts, but to the extent that they prevent users from loading the modules they wish to load—including anything (not just proprietary code!) that needs to call arbitrary kernel functions via dynamic dispatch—it's user-hostile and contrary to the principles of free software, not anything to celebrate over.
It's not illegal in the U.S. to hide your assets or to hold cryptocurrency, and I'm sure a prosecutor would try, but possessing cryptocurrency is hardly evidence of crime.
I definitely agree with your second point though, it would be a much better solution to criminalize civil asset seizure, but that is a much harder thing to achieve in the short term.
For those outside of Europe, could you explain how this works? Are these Hungarian citizens living abroad who are able to somehow vote from polling places accessible by train within the Netherlands? Is this an EU organized thing?
I don't think so. Anyways the same dictatorship (Viktor Orban) got full control again of the country.
Why do you think you can pressure me into accepting your opinions? I don't want to argue with you so how about this - you do it your way and I'll do it my way. But, thanks for your concern.
The irony is you're using a public platform to apologise for this, whereby people chose to come - it's not been foisted upon them. I'd imagine it gained you quite some interest in the project at first. You could have used the same means with some extra content to make the click worth it. This just looks sketchy and you may have alienated a number of potential users. Yes it's only an email but the demographic here is a little different to the norm.
Indeed there is. I've been using this vim plugin for over a decade: https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2720

Which IDE do you like? I'll see about getting some highlighting for it.

As for actually running arc, it’s hard to run the original arc3.1 due to racket updates. I’ve made a few branches over the years that try to preserve the original spirit of arc (no significant changes) while making it easy to run. Try this one:

https://github.com/tensorfork/tlarc

I believe you can simply install racket, then run make && bin/arc and be dropped into a repl. From there you can follow the arc tutorial, whose link I’ll dig up after I’m finished driving home.

EDIT: That fork is actually a lot different from arc3.1 proper. I’ll try to locate a more faithful one.

EDIT 2: Unfortunately it's quite a lot of work to remove the mzscheme dependency from the old arc3.1 codebase. And I'm not sure it's even possible to install the mzscheme lib on the latest racket (e.g. `brew install racket` doesn't seem to have it).

So the above instructions are the best I can do for now.
I wonder if this is a function of you bringing the item to a store. I contacted Patagonia online with a picture of the damage when I ripped my jacket on my chicken coop, and they had me send it in for a patch and restuff.

It's also possible that the type of damage to your gear (peeling laminate) was not repairable, but I would have at least expected a replacement.

Disinformation, and a huge number of families decimated by a massive drug addiction problem in the US

Law Enforcement, and the Policing for profit supporters have massive budgets to convince victims of drug addiction that law enforcement is the proper place for the "war" on drugs to be fought

As such while under normal circumstances American's do have high aversion to government overreach, Americans have allowed massive amounts of overreach under the guise of protecting people from the surge of drugs

However after nearly 50 years of this "war", all we have to show for it is higher and higher drug addiction rates, and a Militarized police force that is more fitting for dictatorship than a democracy
I worked at a financial company that had an exact copy of its largest datacenter deployment in a lab for full-system testing. They recorded packets from the exchange at nanosecond precision, and had the equipment to do exact playback of those packets in the lab.

It was an amazing engineering tool. You could test all sorts of end-to-end performance tweaks there, and have great confidence that you were right.

I also worked at a financial company that did not have one of these. The computers ran substantially slower, and lots of end-to-end performance improvements were left on the table and mired in debate. The mock datacenter cost about $10 million, and was worth every penny.

>3. Police departments have a direct profit motive to seize assets without due process as they get to keep most or all of the proceeds.

The federal government incentivizes it as well with a profit sharing program. According to the video, its over 68.8 billion seized and the average amount is $1300. It'll cost you $5000 in legal fees to get it back, so most people won't bother. Just raise taxes already and quit with the literal highway robbery.

- Gratitude sort of feeds into this. People make lists of all the kindnesses they received from others - just making a point to remember them, maybe even conscientiously reflect on them.

I think the same skills transfer to optimism. If you look at all the times you received what you wanted -- that you got your desired outcome in the past -- it'd make it easier to anticipate it continuing to happen going forward.

My other advice is just straightforward: exercise. I think the endorphins one gets from exercise can somehow be converted to positivity/enthusiasm/optimism. Just remember it's a three-part system. It's exercise + good healthy nutrition + plenty of sleep. (And some people also add in a positivity practice to top it all off...)

If the focus is on skimming off the top instead of actually stopping the flow of drugs, then the cops become a component in the illegal drug market. They are essentially running protection for that market... from themselves.
>this is a best an outrageous slight of hand playing with semantics, at worst you are the one not understanding how they work.

It's neither. Sorry. This is literally how a distributed system works. There are always other people along the line that hold responsibility to keep the system running. That's the whole point of it being distributed. Nothing about this changes if you decide you want to run code on that system or use it to manage your finances. I don't want to talk about semantics either, this is usually the point where someone starts nit picking about the meaning of "distributed" versus "decentralized" or something like that. I don't care what term it is, use whichever you want. The limits are still the same.

>/I/ have control which smart contracts I interact with - no one else.

No, you don't. Again this is absurdly wrong. The blockchain controls which smart contracts you interact with, and the blockchain is controlled by its miners and its whales.

>Number one, the miners cannot force me to interact with anything

>miners cannot force invalid transactions, not even if 100% of them work together

Actually they can, by blackmailing you and threatening to remove your transactions from the blockchain. You don't seem to understand what the point here is. If bad actors are intent on doing this they won't care if you lose other money in the process or if you have to destroy your keys to stop them. In some ways this type of distributed system is actually more vulnerable to these attacks than other systems. And of course there is always the classic $5 wrench attack, which no amount of blockchain engineering can stop: https://xkcd.com/538/

You're making the same mistake that a lot of system designers make. If you look at the system in a vacuum then yes those claims are true. In practice, they aren't true at all.

>A large point of blockchain design is to ensure that this will not happen in practice

No it isn't. There is absolutely no reason to believe that this would continue to be the case, any more than you would expect a bank to do the same. The answer always comes back to the same thing.
Only in Amsterdam inside Netherlands after waiting a long line. At the same time Hungarians in Romania could vote by mail and the government was using Fidesz to collect the votes and threw out votes of the opposition.

The soft dictatorship works very well, Hungary will go even more down in the future. I'll probably leave Hungary before Hungary leaves EU/NATO and gets into a war.

It is not separately illegal to hide your assets in the US, except where doing so involves committing other crimes (such as not paying your taxes.)

However, hiding your assets is functionally illegal in the circumstances that are interesting during civil asset forfeiture: civil cases have discovery available to them, and the standard for compelled information during civil discovery is extremely low (the prosecution only needs to show that the information might reasonably lead to admissible evidence). Hiding your assets during discovery means perjuring yourself.
Zines are great. They are certainly still thriving in various punk and underground music scenes. I actually just got some in the mail recently from Snare Rush / Intrusive Signals, a zine that focuses on noise and experimental electronic music, mostly putting the spotlight on specific artists through fun interviews.

It's the harsh reality but I completely agree on your take. As you summed it up, "You wouldn't drag around a broken leg".

How did you approach this issue? Did you manage to create a strong social circle outside of work? Any helpful tips for the lost me would be appreciated.
There is literally no legal way to stop this from happening. Even if it is made illegal everywhere there are effectively zero DAs willing to prosecute police for anything they do on the job.

I'm curious how you arrived at that impression? YC has funded thousands of startups and as far as I know there have been very few bad eggs. Occasionally they've had to disown one, but it's surprisingly rare. I don't know if there were any signs of uBiome being bad when YC funded them in 2014.

I could fill ten lifetimes with all the things I want to do other than work. The world is so interesting and there are so many joyous activities I'd like to master, music I want to really hear, books I want to take the time to read and understand properly, history I want to see then ruins of, cultures I'd like to experience, artistic works I want to create. I struggle to keep all these distractions at bay in order to be capable of keeping my job.

I don't want to discourage anyone who loves working and loves their job, but I also wouldn't want anyone to look back on their life and see an emptiness of the richness the world has to offer.

I see my work is an enabler of life experience, but I'm also aware others see their work as the meaning of their lives. Make sure you're happy with wherever you fit on the scale (which it sounds like you are, but maybe look a bit harder at things outside of golf, gardening and grey-haired tourism).

There won’t be a source. It will take a decade of research to show my hypotheses as valid or invalid. No way can it be measured now… too many hot heads.

> My understanding is most of the mid career pay gap is due to women prioritizing child rearing over career.

This phrasing is bizarre and reflects a cramped notion of gender equality. Child rearing is something that has to happen. We will already face economic challenges due to our increasing ratio of retirees to workers, and bad things will happen economically if our population begins to contract.

Now, Americans can allow the fertility rate to drop below 2, and bring in immigrants, but that’s not a sustainable equilibrium. You’re just outsourcing the burden to immigrant families from cultures that don’t have the same notions of gender equality.

At the end of the day, women (as a group, not necessarily individually) have an indispensable role as mothers. They’re not “prioritizing child rearing over career” they’re attending to the essential work of society that only they can do. We should approach discussions of how to keep women in the workforce long term recognizing those facts.
Stuff that people in a community/scene tell each other and treat as facts that sounds like it could be a thing, regardless of it actually being true or not.

Hey man, giggle away. You do you. Glad you can put off having to deal with how the world operates that much longer. Lotta people go their lives never noticing it, or putting a finger on it. Fewer still are ever in a position to put a finger on it and do anything about it.

I gave concrete examples of instances where an institution or root of authority implements by dicta a distortion on how information, and what information will propagate. If it's any comfort, I reacted the same way when someone pointed out to me the absurdity of duck and cover, and the impossibility of that squaring with the concept of a government conducting itself with integrity when I was more gung ho with regards to the integrity of my own government. It took a while for it to sink in that yeah, there's just stuff that ends up getting done because the unfiltered truth is so much more destructive to the status quo, that the ability to just waltz it in front of consenting to be governed people really seems like an idea that's pauseworthy.

Russia with their propaganda mill, China with the Great Firewall, media/copyright industry with DMCA, U.S. Government with executive privilege/classification authority.

It's universal. You either drive yourself mad, ignore it, work around it, or just deal with the fact info asymmetry is one of the fundamental pillars of power, and play along with the dog and pony show, trying to help the next group of sods not get burned so hard by it.

So tell ya what. Lemme turn it around on you.

How are any of these not things that if just about everyone knew about them in intimate detail would not have substantially changed the way things are today?

MKUltra

The Tuskeegee Syphilis Experiments.

COINTELPRO.

Operation Mockingbird.

The Sugar industry's great success at just conveniently not reporting studies that didn't make their cash crop seem the best way to go. Tobacco industry too. Hell, lets throw in pharma. Thalidomide happened too.

IBM sold machines to facilitate concentration camps.

DuPont happily working with IG Farben to scale Zyklon B production.

Petrochem, burying climate analysis over the last century.

19th-20th century capitalists hiring Pinkertons to bust union organization or get dirt on prospective partners/hires/competitors.

The American Fruit Corporation, and the Banana Republics.

Each one had it's veneer. Each one, frighteningly, may have had a legit claim to "being the right thing to do at the time" from the understanding underpinned by the information that was allowed to propagate for consideration at the time.

I can go on. I'm just weary of it. I see more banal and lower impact examples every day.

Coworker X not doing something because it won't be his problem by the time the consequence comes around, and fuck it, management doesn't care.

Management doesn't care because they've got an acquisition on the hook that'll just shitcan the business to keep it from disrupting the same old business model.

Like I said. Just look around. Info asymmetry is everywhere, and the benefactors (of which the little guy makes up not an insignificant number) like it that way.

It's bugged me for the longest time. Still bugs me.

I'm not seeing the irony. The file you linked to is only ~2600 lines of code and seems to be well-modularized and fairly well commented. Assuming that's the whole site, I think that's pretty reasonable.
On top of that, if you have dual boot and you boot into Windows, it always sets boot order to be Windows first from BIOS/UEFI.
No disrespect but you can do this for an analytics dashboard or a content web site with canaries (Facebook). May not be the best for high liability sites like financial systems.
Coming from win7 to win10 ltsc is still pretty gross and a downgrade overall.

Working with centralized technologies is much easier than working with the blockchain. Additionally, web3 is not very advanced for its costs. Needing to pay money (even a fraction of a cent) to do basically anything is not a compelling model, especially considering that most of the “fast” blockchains still take a couple of seconds to do anything.
The API may get harder, but that's not a huge deal. Not saying that's a good thing, but APIs are far from the hardest thing in 3D graphics.

In my experience using WebGL, the hardest thing is all the missing parts compared to modern APIs and the fact that, whenever you want to implement something, you can't use the newest techniques and have to go hunting around to find out how the game dev community used to do things 20 years ago. I would take a jump in API complexity in exchange for access to a modern graphics pipeline and I'm excited by the new opportunities WebGPU will afford my work.
Looks like the device is a card reader with some sort of backend api to freeze/seize accounts. Presumably the the only way it works is that the issuers are willing to give law enforcement a blank check to do whatever they want. I don't see how that's the case for cryptocurrency wallets, which are at least password protected.
That is unusual for a modern system that uses UEFI. The windows bootloader may set itself as the default EFI program, but other bootloaders should remain in the EFI partition. It's just a matter of changing the default back to Linux bootloader.

If windows does wipe out other bootloaders, then it's something serious to be discussed. Are you sure that's what happened?
Yep. Armor and ground support A/C have been shown much more vulnerable to shoulder-launched countermeasures than they were even ten years ago, and it isn't even close, though I hate to see A-10s rendered obsolete - for that is what they are, now.
Ok? It is still all more than is necessary.
