The USA's politicians can stand to be bullied a lot more than they currently are. Many of them got to where they are now by being bullies themselves - Twitter bullies in particular!

They say the United States Congress is really just Hollywood for ugly people. In a sense, social media is really just Hollywood for smart people. Given Elon Musk's circumstances, and no matter what his motivations, they seem to be the correct ones to maximize his possible outcomes.

> The only alternative is to get users to install their own keys, which is fiddly and technical.

It's a bit worse than that actually; it's actively scary and dangerous, as with much EFI stuff. Quoting the Arch Wiki:

> Warning: Replacing the platform keys with your own can end up bricking hardware on some machines, including laptops, making it impossible to get into the UEFI/BIOS settings to rectify the situation. This is due to the fact that some device (e.g GPU) firmware (OpROMs), that get executed during boot, are signed using Microsoft's key.

The key process creation itself is extremely manual and finicky, and probably prone to error.

The process of enrolling your platform key involves deleting all enrolled certificates. Let's hope your hardware provider implemented this properly so you didn't just brick your system.

> Once Secure Boot is in "User Mode" keys can only be updated by signing the update (using sign-efi-sig-list) with a higher level key. Platform key can be signed by itself.

So any loss of your platform key (e.g. by cosmic ray flipped bit, or hard drive failure, or simply user error) results in effectively bricking your hardware, right? (Unless and until you can rewrite the firmware with a hardware device.)

I'm sure some folks have worked out a good process for managing all this, but it feels so flaky to me and I don't have a good handle on what is required to do this right. Back in the day, installing Linux for me used to involve 2-3 cycles of screwing up something with GRUB, having to boot into the LiveCD, and fixing things. Right now it feels like one screw up could be fatal to hundreds of dollars of hardware. That's before you get to the issue of having to mess with the EFI variables, which has resulting in bricking hardware in the past: https://www.theregister.com/2016/02/02/delete_efivars_linux/

Again, some of the above could be based on my misunderstandings, but that's kind of the point as well - the scary thing about secure boot / UEFI for Linux users is that it's a new area of required knowledge that you seemingly need to be 100% right about or risk burning hardware.

When Netflix began original programming almost everything they put out was interesting even if I wasn't the target demographic.

Their recent programming, beyond a few good shows and documentaries, is mostly lowest common denominator garbage. I think Netflix became data obsessed. The problem with that is good art or even entertainment is rarely made by analyzing a spreadsheet to determine what audiences want.

So now they have an app where it is hard to find things, because I guess it is more "sticky," and content that is brain dead, because I guess their data suggests a lot of people will watch it relative to the cost.

They should have remained focused on premier television. Big shows people want to talk to their friends about. Not Movies, because they do a terrible job promoting them and not reality TV, because no one is subscribing to a service to watch reality TV (though they will probably watch it once subscribed).

I do think that the pandemic disrupted filming so they bought what they could to fill the gap, so hopefully the quality picks back up.

I'm hesitant to advocate taking something down. I'm not saying it should never happen, but this doesn't cross the threshold for me. In this instance the video creator wasn't encouraging people to do this and the audience response wasn't to jump in and do the same thing. Also videos that would fit this category-- filmed evidence of illegal activity & subsequent consequences (which I think Google should add to the video)-- are not likely to become popular in the thought experiment you describe. If they did, maybe I'd revisit my opinion.

On the other hand, if content is encouraging people to do harmful or dangerous things then that becomes a different issue. I'm less uncomfortable with YouTube trying to stop Tide Pod Challenge videos which were basically encouraging such activity: The first two weeks of 2018 saw about as many poisoning reports from this as most entire years before then.

It's worth pointing out the reasoning: the bigger factor is the exclusivity that the cable providers get for carrying CNN. The cable providers don't want you dropping them because you can get CNN elsewhere, and CNN doesn't want cable providers to think about dropping the channel because customers can get it elsewhere.

This is not about fabs. This is about expertise. A TSMC fab in Arizona is nowhere close to being enough to satisfactorily address our security concerns with respect to critical infrastructure. We won't stop until we can stand up the entire supply chain using domestic intellectual capital. In fact, we aren't going to stop until that domestic intellectual capital not only exists, but is safely redundant.

None of the other nations will stop at a domestic fab either btw. This issue is not going away, and I suspect the EU is as determined to stand up a domestic supply chain as we are.

And don't even get me started on China. We can assume they are probably much further along than is generally known. Because they always are.
I suspect most of these people don't really hate each other as much as they pretend on TV. That goes for politicians too. There are exceptions I'm sure.
Let me tell you a story about the long-term value of fiber. I live in an area where the incumbent teleco is CenturyLink, though it was originally AT&T (pre-breakup) and then USWest (post-breakup) then Qwest (after a merger with a telecommunications spinoff of Southern Pacific Railroad). In the mid-00s Qwest's management realized that copper cables were a dead-end technology so they began rolling out Fiber-to-the-Node (FTTN) with VDSL service across their network. This allowed them to offer speeds of up to 140 Mbps on their legacy copper network and lay the seeds for an eventual Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) rollout.

In the middle of this rollout they got bought out by CenturyLink, one of the biggest telcos not descended from AT&T at the time. CenturyLink's management did not invest in rolling out fiber (I guess this is where they got the buyout money from) and basically froze the rollout of new fiber for 10 years after the merger. Fast forward to last year and CenturyLink announced they were selling off half their customers to a private equity firm. Coincidentally, the half of the customers they were selling off were primarily in the areas that CenturyLink owned before they merged with Qwest, and the areas they kept were mainly the ones where Qwest rolled out fiber. Apparently their customers on fiber were where all of their profits were coming from, while the customers stuck on their legacy copper network were extremely unprofitable to serve.

I'm lucky enough to be in an area where they offer gigabit fiber (from which I can get 800-900 Mbps down and pretty much exactly 940 up) but I feel very sorry for the customers on their legacy copper network as I can't imagine a private equity firm will be any more willing to invest in upgrading them to fiber than CenturyLink were, and many of those customers are in remote locations where their only non-satellite Internet option is CenturyLink DSL.
> Is Musk known really for his shrewd political skills and sharp maneuvers?

He should be. Solidly Republican-leaning Texans are buying and driving electric vehicles, in some cases believing that doing so is "owning the libs".

Tesla seemed like an impossible long shot 15 years ago, not just for the considerable technical and business challenges but also because most Americans were happily buying gas-gusslers and even fantastic hybrids like the Prius were still somewhat niche. At the time, not a single major car company was willing to invest seriously in building electric vehicles.

Now there's gigafactory right outside Austin. It's something I did not think would have been possible. Tesla has threaded a nearly impossible needle to get to where it is in 2022.

Premium fabs, premium chips, and shortages of everything, from modern ("premium") graphics, to shitty DIP AVRs (relatively old tech). New fabs can still produce old chips when needed, and we need all of the chips now, and a bunch of the "new tech" chips, will still be needed in 20+ years, so that fab line can still operate then.

This is pretty misleading. Don't you think the government's forcing "income" to be defined as w2 salary has a lot to do with why this happens, and is therefore an important qualifier? They literally invented a new industry by arbitrarily restricting terminology. Those loans would never exist if we did not pray on individual earners to "fund" the government's "services."

Yes, even offensive things. If you are a free speech absolutist, there are no boundaries.

So far you are railing on imagining the worst possible implementation of my idea. I won't speculate why you are that way.

I also think (a) nobody would notice my twitter account, (b) they'd probably block me, which would make my point, and (c) the people who did read my stream while it was active would clearly understand the context of my statements.

Think of it like The Satanic Temple. It exists not to glorify Satan but to test whether laws really are favoring some religions over others, in contradiction to the constitution.
I too grew up outside the USA, I'd say in a culture very different from any western ones and not just America. We didn't have anything like dad-jokes as far as I can remember.

Both my children (almost teens now) have only lived in the USA, and they yell "dad-joke" at any attempted humor that fails to make them laugh. On my part they're mostly sarcastic remarks veiled as a joke to keep the conversation pleasant or makes a fun one more interesting, by showing my participation. Sometimes I also initiate it because I simply want to bond with them but I don't know how to talk like their age. I don't want conversations to be too serious.

I guess, my ultimate motive is to bond with them with humor but I have to choose ones that isn't too confrontational, aggressive or other negative connotations. I pick these almost silly bad ones on purpose because they're light-hearted, they have been used it since they were very small and I really don't feel the need to be perfect around them, they're too young for me. Lately I have also been thinking that maybe I do want them the opportunity to laugh at me, instead of seeing me as authoritative, all the time.

In the culture I grew up in fathers were supposed to be quite strict so even talking to them was a big deal so jokes were rare. Even then we used talk about silly things our old men did, on rare ocassions in front of them so the last one might be a big part of it.
>whether it's the result of massive subsidies

I think the key thing here is that probably yes, however it is essentially once off. Not that expensive to keep shooting photons down the fibre once its in the ground.

So from a country perspective that's a pretty grand deal compared to say farming subsidies that you need to do annually.
I see a lot of bad faith assumptions made about Musk's supposed plans with Twitter in the case he should control it.

Although I'm not suggesting to trust a character like Musk purely on his words, it's at least interesting to be informed of plans he openly expressed.

First, he clearly expressed there's no economic motive. Which makes sense as Twitter is a terrible investment. A pessimistic interpretation is that it's about prestige, a positive one is that he genuinely wants to improve Twitter, whatever that means. Personally, I think it's a little of both, they are not mutually exclusive.

Regarding free speech, he stated that the first goal was to understand current "censorship" mechanisms and policy, and to make them more transparent. It's hard to disagree with this one no matter your leaning.

Further, he intends to be fully compliant with free speech laws, in every relevant country. There isn't much choice in this matter, but still.

As for what any new policy would look like, he stated that in the case of a grey zone, not censoring it is preferential. The grey zone is not defined, but in any case it means less censorship.

As for any political direction, he stated to have none. His ideal would be for both extreme ends to be equally angry, so in balance. This suggests that it's not some play to revenge-censor the far left or steer things in any explicit political direction.

Other than this, he has plans to improve/cleanup the broken parts of Twitter, like bots.

Like I said, you can take all of these public statements with a grain of salt, and you should. I personally give them the benefit of the doubt, as pretty much all of the "worst case" interpretations make no sense. It's not an economic play. It's not a play to only allow speech that benefits him directly as what possible Twitter speech would benefit him directly, given the position he's already in? He's also not turning it into a 40 billion dollar 4chan, there's just no rational basis for such pessimistic takes.

Perhaps a simpler take is that Twitter is so broken, dysfunctional and toxic that he can't possible make it much worse. And if he still does, let's hope it fully sinks. The world would be improved.

> You can (and folks do) authenticate in ways that don’t make individual blocks bigger.

First, name one example.

Second, what do you mean by "individual blocks"?

AES-GCM adds one authentication tag per message. A single message may contain millions of AES blocks, and the total overhead of AES-GCM over it will still be a single authentication tag (16 bytes). That makes it very similar to pretty much any authenticated encryption scheme out there.

Netflix has gone from costing $9.99 CAD to $20.99 CAD over all these years, with loss of content like Friends etc... For which I'd have to go to another service.

As a subscriber, I'm essentially footing the bill for Netflix's "spray and watch" technique which is getting hard to support when the content doesn't appeal to me. So maybe focus is key and perhaps don't cancel so many shows I was into before (Marco Polo, Daredevil, etc...)

I'm keeping Netflix around but if they start preventing my family from using a single account which we've had for a decade now, that's the last straw and I'm cancelling the service.
Disclosure: I worked in the "anti-piracy" industry for 6 years at one point. It should be renamed the Big Content Fluffing Contingent, but that position is itself revealing on my part.

It's all just anti-competitive and bullying trash-baggery from an industry stuck in the 1940s for business practices (read: Mafia accountancy) with a 1980s business mandate (read: "greed is good" when its us, but for anyone else is bad).

They dedicate huge sums to lobby whomever will do their bidding (e.g. over history, folks like Sonny Bono, Claire McCaskill, etc) and demand total, stupid fealty, because the execs in Big Content really are like d-list extras from an episode of Entourage (or the Tom Cruise character from Tropic Thunder).

They have no understanding of tech, and don't care, because they feel all of reality can be warped to their vision via contractual enforcement and litigation threats.

It's a human centipede of stupid.
