If people in the EU want to run software on their iPhones from any random repository willy-nilly then by means knock yourselves out.

Admittedly, Apple has maneuvered themselves into a very convenient and profitable position, which is, "We'll keep you safe as long as you stay within our walled garden."

That might sound unreasonable to a lot of folks, but the truth is that this approach has a proven track record of actually keeping Apple devices secure. Take a jail-broken iPhone for instance... people are just downloading shit from anywhere just to play around. Keep in mind, downloading software from a random repository this way isn't the same as navigating to a specific website on a computer and downloading software directly from the developer. Software developers might provide package repositories for their own software, but when we talk about "App Stores" we're not really talking about that sort of repository, right? We're talking about a full on application store that provides software from a multitude of vendors. Like I said though, knock yourselves out. It'll be your mess to clean up when your devices are inevitably compromised, not mine.
> No one is waiving legal recourse when they're using Web3.

I've seen quite a few people do this. May not everyone, but a lot. The "commentary added by a random law firm" is the general sentiment I understood when people were hyped up on smart contracts. There's an industry of smart contract programmers who write code under the assumption that there may be no recourse (to the legal system) if they introduced bugs.

If your attitude represents the sentiment of "web3" these days, it is really a very hilarious backtrack on the previous (hyperbole) claims...
Thanks for bearing with me. I think some of the examples you gave good and rational reasons why some people might defer contributing to a valid cause on an individual level. There are a class of problems that do require scale, and some cases were the individual is preoccupied with mitigating their personal harm instead of addressing the root cause of the problem.

I think there are some cases where this is certainly the case.

The topic at large is a bit of a sore spot for me because I think many people use aspirations to collective action as excuse not to take personal action. There are also tons of problems where immediate action can be taken on on the individual or local level, and instances where individual or local action is far more effective than top down solutions!

There is a class of people that would essentially see a starving child, want to help, but do nothing while waiting for 350 million people to (maybe) come to consensus on some federal solution. It is some sort of learned helplessness where people are scared to take personal action. I think the free rider concern also plays a part, but don't particularly respect it. It is like saying I'm going to let the child in front of my house starve until my neighbor agrees to feed the child in front of their house too. Sometimes people should do the good thing because it is good and lead by example, and especially so when the valid situations you raised do not apply.

Because it’s price is speculation on future profits which would create future dividends

Not really, but we can make the implosions less severe

No

Seems dubious to me. We will do better on some select issues but mostly otherwise the same
Yes, we're asked, repeatedly and specifically, to avoid generalizing about large groups of people --- nationalities, religions, &c. I get that you may have a vantage on this that we don't have, but you still have to be careful about how you communicate it. Some things are tricky to communicate in a forum like this; some things may be so tricky that they aren't worth communicating. I don't know. I just did a double take at the first sentence of your last comment, thought to myself "how would I react if anyone but Rayiner had written this", and told you so. That's all.

Pretty typical for the US these days to treat systemic problems as solvable by individual choices. See e.g. covid, global warming, recycling, privacy, and misinformation.
No natural person willingly enters a contract for binding arbitration; we only do so because there is no other choice.

I worked at my previous job for five years when they asked me to sign a contract for binding arbitration. Of course I signed it, not because I was enthusiastic about the prospect of fake judges hired by the company, but because the other implicit option was looking for a new job in an “at will” state.

See why people don't say this even though it's true? Because the only reason to point this out is to imply causality and to point out that it's different than some other system.

That's obvious correct but what's the point? The whole discussion here is that there exists these "crypto anarchists" and their ideal world seems ridiculous to at least a couple people here...
Lawsuits are an astoundingly inefficient way to resolve these issues. It can easily take more money than the worker will earn in his/her career to take this to trial, and the trial will rely more on caricatures and stereotypes than the worker's actual day-to-day experience. Imagine trying to convince the next 6 people that you meet that your side is right -- it comes down to looks, sympathy, emotions, etc, all of which have no relationship to what actually happened.

The reason that employment lawyers want to get these things out of arbitration is that juries are more susceptible to emotional arguments, and the lawyers can sometimes get the company to pay their (inflated) legal fees if they win.

Arbitration is quick, fast, final, and doesn't require all the legal machinations of court. Hopefully this is not a precedent.

I'd estimate that there's an easy order-of-magnitude improvement (~10x) just from implementing a simple error-correction mechanism -- a Reed-Solomon code ought to be good enough that we can take the squares down to 10x10, maybe even 8x8 or 5x5. Then, if we really work at it, we might be able to find another order-of-magnitude win (~100x) by packing more bits into a frequency-domain encoding scheme. This would likely require us to do some statistical analysis on the types of compression artifacts that YouTube introduces, in order to find a particularly robust set of basis images.
Nathan is talking about std::random_access_iterator which is a C++ 20 Concept, whereas the text in the blog said RandomAccessIterator which was a C++ 17 (and earlier) Iterator "category" now named LegacyRandomAccessIterator which doesn't actually do anything in code and so yeah you could just as well write T.

C++ concepts are just duck typed, whereas Rust's traits have actual semantics.

For example in C++ a float (the 32-bit floating point type) is std::totally_ordered because it has the necessary operators so "quack" - even though of course this type isn't actually totally ordered. If (when) you rely on this sort of promise your C++ program is "ill-formed, no diagnostic required"...

In contrast Rust's 32-bit floating point type f32 is not Ord, because well, it isn't totally ordered is it? NaN. So sort() doesn't work on say a slice of f32, because sort is defined over totally ordered types. You will need to provide an ordering function to explain how you think they're ordered.

C++ had no choice, you can't show up decades late to the party and say "Now we're defining these semantic traits" when there's so much code out there without them. Rust started from a fresh slate. Now, Nathan here (and many like him) would prefer to make a virtue of this necessity.

Once upon a time (before Rust 1.0) Rust did actually have a trait named RandomAccessIterator but it was not well loved because it wasn't practical to do the optimisations you'd actually want (they'd be unsafe, and an unsafe trait here is a big pain point), yet without them it was too slow to be reasonable to suggest anybody use it. So it was abolished.

In practice the slice type [T] is fine here, and the Ord constraint means this sort, like the real one defined on slice, enforces the requirement you'd actually expect.

The Rust sort() implementation is safe here too, unlike the C++ one. It is also stable, because Rust chooses to give you a stable sort, and have people who know they need it write sort_unstable() when that's what they meant, whereas C++ assumes you'd better know exactly what you need or else too bad here's an unstable sort by default...

Haven't heard of you.com before, having a quick look at it:

- You.com uses affiliate links.

- My ad blocker (uBlock origin) shows that you.com has tracking in the form of analytics (https://plausible.io/api/event).

- you.com makes a lot of requests to many 3rd party domains.

- Kagi lets you quickly create rules to customise results such as domain/url weighting, term filtering etc...

- I personally find the UI/design off-putting - it's very busy and the round style elements immediately remind me of the windows XP theme.

- The popup in the right corner nagging to "Make You.com your default" is very off-putting.

- you.com promotes the use of Google Chrome.

- you.com loads results slower.

- I'm not a fan of the square cards on you.com.

- Kagi has a clear and transparent business model, you.com seems pretty up in the air as to how it will be funded in the future, including statements such as "You.com currently has no ads." - currently is the key word there.

- It's not clear if you.com uses data from other search engines.

No offence intended with any of my remarks.

This is untrue in my experience.

I know several people who have worked as software engineers for local governments in California for the better part of a decade. Both of them had previously worked for large tech companies which you have definitely heard of. They both preferred the work environment of the private sector and there was a lot of stress in their government jobs over the same things that stress people out anywhere: interpersonal relations, bad management, deadlines, projects going off the rails, etc.

That stress was harder to deal with than it should have been, at those government jobs, because the environment is less flexible and a lot of the coworkers are, shall we say, not exactly top talent and underperformers stick around until they retire -- a PIP process would have been very handy! The level of drama at those jobs, over things that would be considered minor issues where I work, was unreasonable.

On the contrary, I have been at a large tech company for almost 5 years and I usually stop working between 5 and 6pm. I see the parking lot empty out around the time I'm leaving, so I know it's not just me. I've worked on a weekend twice, and one of those times I volunteered to do it. I have never been on call. I work in an org that employs hundreds of engineers and I know that most of them have a good work-life balance too -- and those who work on the high pressure teams have chosen to do so.
I don't think that analogy works

Historical Street View is the main reason I hope Google is still around in a hundred years. It is the single most comprehensive record of the built environment ever assembled, and its simple, broad accessibility belies the depth of its value as a historical tool.

In Chicago, there's no more profound Street View experience than virtually walking the streets of the infamous Cabrini-Green housing project in its twilight of 2007, just as the last tenants had been moved out and the towers were beginning to come down. Even through the grainy, first-generation Street View camera, the haunting specter of neglect and despair comes through clear as day. Jump forward a few years, and the towers disappear, leaving greenfields. A few more jumps, and construction fences appear, quickly followed by condos. Less than a decade later, the area is completely unrecognizable.

And now – can you imagine what it would be like to look back fifty years in Street View? A hundred?

I'm not assuming they are not real images, I'm questioning whether to get to any information density that even out-performs "big enough colorful pixels", you might get into territories where the lossy compression compresses away what you need to unambiguously discriminate between two symbols.

And to get to that level of density I do wonder what kind of detailed "real image" it would still be.

If your algorithm were for example literally the example you just noted, then the "big enough colorful pixels" from the example video already massively outperform your algorithm. Of course it won't be exactly that, but you have the assumption that the video compression algorithm somehow applies the same meaning of "looks like" in its preservation efforts that your machine learning algorithm does, down to levels where differences become so minute that they exceed what you can do with colorful pixels that are just big enough to pass the compression unscathed, maybe with some additional error correction (i.e. exactly what a very high density QR code would do).

For all the complaining online, the last 14 years have been an amazing run of economic growth. I can remember in 2008 when people were saying “the US is finished”.

I do think there's kind of an element of truth to this, though it feels very broad to say so. American absurdism does exist, just maybe not as much on TV? Screwball comedy is very much a thing in film, and occasionally reaches for the same feeling.

Stuff like Airplane! or some of Mel Brooks' stuff or National Lampoons movies, and later the "Scary Movie"/"Teen Movie"/etc. things... but it's like when they go much deeper than an average SNL sketch they almost always go too far and suddenly reach into trying to offend or anger or even disgust (though the new KITH has a bit of that too).

Kratom is available in many different forms and types. The most common forms are: Kratom Capsule, Kratom Powder, Kratom Extracts. Many Kratom users usually want to fly from one place to another by carrying such products to themselves. There have been many controversies related to the consumption of this product in the recent past. It was believed that this is one of the most Contraband items that one can consume. Therefore it is likely to have various types of negative impacts on the health, and consequently, the consumption of the same product should be regulated to the possible extent.

Why is it so controversial?

However, various research has been conducted to prove that this product is not so harmful to the human body. As a result, it can be ultimately concluded that you can buy Red Vein Kratom for stress relief. In addition, any kind of kratom is well known for providing these types of health benefits.

Because of the additional health benefits that the consumption of this product can obtain, it becomes crucial to mention that such a type of consumption is likely to provide the maximum amount of facilities.

That is why people usually want to travel by carrying this product with themselves. However, various types of factors need to be considered before undertaking travel with this product, which have been described in the following way. Read more.

I don't think PE is acceptable measure of value for a company like Tesla.

The real reason for the decline is money is becoming tight. Also you have increasing competition from Ford, and GM and other automotive companies that can sell cheaper than a Telsa due to scale.

The F150 Lighting is cheaper than the Tesla Model 3.
Mustang Mach E is a third of the price of the Model Y.

So as money is becoming tight, people that have any interest in owning an EV are more likely to buy cheaper alternatives. This on top of cars sales being in a free fall lately. Most car companies are seeing massive decrease in sales Y/Y.

But the billionaires in USA are international, they "stole" wealth from workers all over the world, your solution to give that to Americans still results in those workers having their labour stolen by Americans. Constantly stealing labour from workers all over the world and giving it to American workers seems just as unethical as giving it to American billionaires, both situations results in a small number of people hording all the wealth.

And then if you distribute it fairly among all the workers who actually did the work to amass that wealth, then there is very little left per worker. And you do it so the poorer gets more since they got less initially, then the American workers wont get a single cent since they are all rich and most of the labour is done in China and India.
Under common law jurisdictions (and as I understand it in the US too), "intent" of the accused is an important element of the crime. The definition is broad enough to cover crypto theft, but it might require the court to interpret whether the alleged actions were done with "dishonest intent" etc.. which can be a rather subjective thing.

Higher courts, due to their inherent ability to set precedents, usually also consider broader policy concerns eg. whether the decision makes sense from enforcement perspective, how the ecosystem might be affected etc..
