Classify normal prudence as conspiracy is a classic move from those who try selling freezers to the Eskimo, if we follow such line why having an army and keep radar-monitoring the country and it's surrounding? Why put defibrillators anywhere, why put fire-extinguishers etc, why even design electrical wiring with as much sectioning and breakers as we do?

Such "infra projects" are like, much like, the Desertech scam, a project to deliver p.v. from north-Africa to Europe able just to detour significant amount of public funds to a small set of private players. This one is just a bit smaller but essentially copy the same plot.

Other large infra projects, nearly 99% of all large ones, results in public money black holes for very limited results. At a smaller and more technical size we have had a period where anything must be big, after we learn that many small things are better than few big ones, that's happen for ship (with the sole exception of tourism), planes (777/A380 fiasco), giant road infra and so on. No conspiracy, at least if your vocabulary do not classify "economy" as "conspiracy" and rationality as plot.

Yes.

There are too many use cases for physical and immutable long-term offline storage for this niche to go unfilled, but the niche is too small (at present) to prompt the development of a replacement medium and format, so while I am sure that the materials and read/write hardware will continue to evolve (better data longevity guarantees, read/write speed, physical durability, etc.) the implementations will remain compatible, or at least the reading ones will.

Because it is fast.

Password hashing is better a slow function to compute. Delaying login by e.g. 0.001s (say 1000 times slower than normal) is unnoticeable, and login is rare enough that the total compute impact is quite low. But for a brute force attack a 1000 times slowdown is horrible. Even if specialized hardware makes it only 10 times slower it might still be effective.

KDFs try to be slow, and they try to be hard to speed up with specialized hardware, all to prevent brute forcing.

There is ab interesting parallel with PoW systems. Many cryptos have switched PoW algorithm to remove the advantage of specialized hardware. This is supposed to prevent decentralization.
Can't wait for the History Channel documentary on this... "Aliens"
I think the opposite: that China is a powder keg ready to go off at any moment - and the leaders know it very well and are generally pretty afraid of things blowing up.

There are a lot of protests in China we don't hear about.

Something about Chinese (in China) ... leads me to think they go big on memes. They revolt unlike anything we know of.

Do you remember the video form Feb 2020 in Wuhan? The madness, hospitals flooded?

Imagine all over China.

As long as the economy is steaming forward, people will look the other way.

But as soon as that starts to slow down, then I think it's going to get hot.

Edit, for my naysayers:

"The number of workers' strikes rose to a record level in 2015. The China Labor Bulletin mentioned 2,509 strikes and protests by workers and employees in China."

That's just labour disputes and doesn't include disputes concerning appropriated land, safety issues with products - i.e. the kinds of things where there's some tolerance for dissent. [1] And note that it's increasing every year.

Especially due to the power of Social Media, if China didn't have censorship the CCP would be out within months. They are well aware of this.

Others have mentioned the Internet Archive. There is also Zenodo [1] where you can archive code and have a good chance that it survives long-term. Zenodo is run by CERN and even has an integration with GitHub, so you can easily archive GitHub repositories.

"""But the snapshot of in the UK in the mid-1980s was stored on two virtually indestructible interactive video discs which could not be read by today's computers. """

I can't find the back story now, but if they weren't able to source a working laser disk reader from a member of the public (which IIRC took quite a bit of effort to find), then accessing this data - digitized in the early 1980s - would have cost a fortune.

The inspiration for this project, the 900-year-old Domesday Book, is just as readable today as it was in 1980 (and in 1200 or so). The ability to read data with one's eyes should not be underestimated.

The rule, for a YAML-based no-code tool, would be:

"Any sufficiently complicated descriptive-declarative programming language contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of a Turing-complete programming language".

In Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming, Roy and Haridi define descriptive-declarative programming as:

"The declarative 'program' just defines a data structure. This language can only define records! For example, defining graphical user interfaces. Other examples are a formatting language like HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), which gives the structure of a document without telling how to do the formatting, or an information exchange language like XML (Extensible Markup Language), which is used to exchange information in an open format that is easily readable by all.

The descriptive level is too weak to write general programs. So why is it interesting? Because it consists of data structures that are easy to calculate with. HTML and XML documents, and declarative user interfaces can all be created and transformed easily by a program."

I’m Australian and born in 88. I’m really curious where this is. Is this the Brisbane City beach? Being born in Melbourne and participating in the inter city warfare between Melbourne and Sydney, it took me too long to realise how beautiful Brisbane is.

If you hate the cold (like I do, my physical health suffers greatly in the cold) check out Brisbane. An absolutely gorgeous city, quiet (relatively) and lots of nature.

I have had two separate unlimited PTO jobs where I was gone on an extended vacation for ~2 months and no one batted an eye.

"The Rise and Fall of Worlds Fairs" ... in America.

The worlds fair seems as big as it has ever been. The Dubai Expo 2020, which concluded last month saw over 20 million visitors in 6 month. This is twice of what any Disney theme park can perform.

I don't think Al Wasl dome will be the new Eiffel Tower, but I am pretty sure it will become a permanent landmark to Dubai.

The article even says so much:

> Outside of the U.S., particularly in Europe and Asia, world’s fairs remain popular. In cities like Milan, Dubai and Shanghai, host nations have used these grand expositions to express their guiding values and show off the very best of their countries to the rest of the world. Today, this mission is more vital than ever

...

> Despite their diminishing popularity in the U.S., world’s fairs continue to take place across the globe. They remain popular for the same reasons they were in 1851: Simply put, fairs act as powerful affirmations of national identity that reassure host countries and dazzle international audiences. In 2010, an expo in Shanghai welcomed over 73 million visitors to the largest world’s fairgrounds ever, spanning a staggering 2.5 square miles. Delayed due to Covid-19, Expo 2020, in Dubai, concluded less than a month ago with a spectacular closing ceremony. The fair hosted more than 24 million visitors over its six-month run.

Ah, my mistake. I was pretty sure the UK was a founding member.

> I feel that many in the UK regard it's parliament as the highest authority in law- and decision-making. Any body resting higher than that is going to face difficulty when attempting to claim greater and greater control over laws, and running them from "far away" even if that far away place was Brussels.

That is basically the failure of UK politicians, too. But, as Yes, Minister very rightly put it, perhaps the UK wasn't in there for any kind of unity to begin with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVYqB0uTKlE :)

> The UK also wasn't part of the Euro, and so one of the main benefits of EU membership and coherence was missing

The UK isn't the only country without the Euro though.

> amongst the working classes that the low-wage sector was being undermined by labour coming in freely from abroad, mainly eastern Europe, and this wasn't reciprocal, i.e. they couldn't go to eastern Europe, or basically anywhere else in Europe, and get the same benefit from doing so.

"They took our jobs" is also a failure of the politicians. Though, for them it's not a failure, it's votes for the next election.

In the end, "the EU wants us to be subservient to undemocratic bureaucracy" ends up being "there was a general feeling perpetuated and encouraged by our own politicians and that doesn't really have much to do with reality" ;)
> I am not. Economists specifically cite the liberalization of the economy

Yes. Yes, you are. There's nothing more liberal than no regulations and no state involvement at all, see 19th century as an example. Nothing more liberal than the government turning a blind eye on child labor, or poisoning water supplies, or company stores, or literally all the examples of unfettered capitalism we literally had many, many, many examples of in history.

> That can be dealt with perfectly well within the rules of capitalism, which encourages prosecution of fraud, and impartial civil courts where bad actors can be sued.

Right... Who exactly is going to "prosecute fraud" and where will those "impartial civil courts" appear from? That never happened to child labor until it was expressly forbidden by the government, for example.

What incentive does capitalism have to "prosecute fraud" and have "impartial courts"? Literally none.

Example from very recent times:

"From 1952 to 1966, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) dumped about 370 million gallons (1,400 million litres) of chromium-tainted wastewater into unlined wastewater spreading ponds around the town of Hinkley, California, located in the Mojave Desert about 120 miles north-northeast of Los Angeles... Although the dumping took place from 1952 to 1966 (when Hinkley was a remote desert community with one school and a general store),[1] PG&E did not inform the local water board about the contamination until December 7, 1987"

This is capitalism. They did that. Where were all the capitalists with "fraud prosecution" and "independent civil courts"? I mean, capitalism is everywhere around the world in all its forms. We have a well-documented history of capitalism. The claims you make should be validated, right?

The total global surveillance and all the issues we have with Facebook and Twitter are also the result of capitalism, where are the "market instruments" that surely should've come into play by now?

> says nothing about the broader impact on capitalism, which is captured by statistical evidence like the rate of poverty.

What was that quote about lies and statistics? Statistics show:

- the shift from totalitarian states to democracies

- the spread of widely available healthcare and education (note: neither are provided by capitalism)

And then it's capitalism, but again: not unrestricted capitalism.

And to remind ourselves that we're in a topic on crypto, crypto is about unrestricted capitalism which is "you pay at the company store with the tokens barely provided to you by the company". And we all (well, some of us) know, how well that works.

n=4 for me, but I’ve had the same experience. Unlimited really has meant unlimited. And I take advantage of it, taking maybe 4-6 weeks per year average. But twice I’ve taken a single 6-8 week international vacation in the summer with no complaints whatsoever (and that in addition to other time off during those years). I really do think it’s entirely dependent on the company you’re at, but unlimited PTO isn’t universally a scam.

> For all its failures, democracy at least has taught us to incorporate the human imperfection into the process and the decisions.

Since we’re talking counter evidence:

- Singapore is a benevolent dictatorship
- Japan’s schooling system prepares its citizens to be model minorities, and most of the orderliness or Japan is because of cultural reasons. Additionally, people are expected to not make mistakes.

America does have other ways it recognizes and adapts to human flaws: by embracing the free market. Adam Smith’s wealth of nations mentioned it not out of altruism, but selfishness that everyone thrives.

It’s not entirely attributable to democracy. In fact, many are arguing to remove the electoral college. A popular vote would be more Democratic in the Ancient Greek sense no? But our founder fathers designed America against that, to prevent tyranny of the masses.

> For all its failures, democracy at least has taught us to incorporate the human imperfection into the process and the decisions.

This is not uniquely America or contemporary. Any great past civilization accounted for this if it lasted for a long time.

Horses and Donkeys have differing numbers of chromosomes and yet (extremely rarely) produce fertile mules. In a more common case, women with down's syndrome have an extra chromosome and yet are sometimes fertile. I understand that this is extremely common with plants, but that's pretty far outside my wheelhouse.

I don't think we're disagreeing here, just simplifying like all conversations about biology.

I am working as an educator at an art university. In my perception the shutting down of debate is not at all an issue. Some seem to imagine that students have nothing else to discuss than "woke" issues, but they are actually studying in a certain field and "woke issues" might play different (usually very minor) roles their fields.

Our university typically invites people based on the merits in their field (and whether what they can contribute fits into the existing curriculae), not based on their political orientation. In the US where you have two parties this might be more pressing maybe?

My experience as a former student in theatre, film and media science is however that it is rare to have actual good rightwing scholars in that specific field, but this also translates to the arts. Good scholars have to be devoted to the fields primarily and not to a political cause. Inviting someone just because of their politics is not something that is done, unless their work is good.

The topics people deal with are in themself not unchallenging or "woke", e.g. Film students would also look at films of Nazi filmmakers, soviet propaganda films, other filmic movements, etc. So certainly not a diet that you would show to people if you want to avoid opening their perspective.

So my take on this is that there is enough different perspective here. Sure this university tries to avoid inviting trolls, political activists (from all sides!) and downright destructive people (from all sides!) — but that doesn't hurt the debate, it helps it.
The "when done correctly" is a huge caveat, given that what you're replying to does it incorrectly. If X and Y collide, so that SHA-1(X) = SHA-1(Y), then f(SHA-1(X)) = f(SHA-1(Y)) no matter what f is -- so you get a collision.

Concatenating the outputs of the hash functions fixes that particular issue. But concatenating makes preimage attacks easier.

If you want to keep it secure for at least three decades you should follow the principle of Lockss https://www.lockss.org/ "Lots of copies keeps stuff safe".

You might like to read through the site, but if not then I would suggest keeping it safe via storage in multiple formats and locations. If I really wanted to keep something safe and wanted to put effort into it I would put it on a remote service, an external physical media that I might store somewhere else safe, and whenever I get a new computer it would get backed up to my computer. This of course puts extra managerial requirements on you, which for me would be difficult because of the ADHD problems, but of course you would need to make sure to keep your remote service or make sure if you are getting rid of it that you have a plan for moving stuff etc.

In my case I have multiple computers so I would also make sure important to preserve stuff was backed up to all of them.

All of which reminds me I should update a bunch of my stuff.
