There is actually a very real concept that known penalties deters crime. If you stop any significant punishment, criminals are aware, emboldened, and crime increases. Milwaukee is recently reeling in thousands of reckless car thefts, and this is what the perps say themselves:

"I know people who have got 200 car thefts, 300 car thefts."

Interviewer: "Have you thought about how you would do that time?"

"Shit, you only get 3 weeks. It's a misdemeanor!"

Interviewer: "You only do 3 weeks for stealing a car?"

"Hell ya, it's a misdemeanor."

The test matters. You don't find the top 2% of ability by a test designed to measure competency, for example. This distinction may or may not be relevant in the context of gifted programs within a single school, but it is certainly relevant when comparing the utility of state competency tests and SAT tests.

BS. I have never seen anything like Trump’s attempt to “find” votes and install his own electors, with most of the party (implicitly or explicitly) standing behind him, in my political life.
Does political affiliation affect integrity somehow?
Now try to define "affected" and that's where the war will be fought.
You had me at finite.
does this notion solely come from people who live in states with ridiculous taxes on everything?

here in SD it just cost me somewhere around $22 to get my driver's license renewed. when I lived in WA I went to the DMV with a friend who had to get her license renewed one day and I said screw it I might as well get a WA license while I'm here. my jaw fell to the floor when, at the end of the process, they said it would cost me $80.

$22 is not hard for anyone to save, especially with all the generous welfare programs we have. if you're impoverished, you can easily get EBT to buy food, WIC to buy baby formula, and, here at least, Section 8 housing and other programs to get a place to live. no amount of "think of the poor people whom I've never met but assume exist somewhere despite me never interacting with them directly" will ever convince me that someone who really wants to vote can't save $22 to acquire a legal ID.

hell, if it's that big of a deal, then start some charity program to pay for people to get legal ID!

> That open source software forms some part of a commons is not really a thing in practice. Open source software is ran by maintainers, those maintainers own the projects, and they do with the software what they deem fit.

One should make a difference between (1) access to the source code to look, find bugs, make minor adjustments and (2) everybody with that access to be able to actively participate in the development.

In the sense of (1), open source is "some part of a commons". That's what the license gives you.

In the sense of (2), open source may or not be open to a community approach. It's fully legitimate for some company or other group of maintainers to provide (1) but deny anything related to (2). You are free to fork and make your own community, but there is nothing that guarantees you that your pull requests are accepted or even looked at, bug reports reacted to or anybody listening to wishes, concerns or other opinions about the project. It's nice if that's provided, and one could argue that some part of the spirit of open source is to enable a community, which in turn helps the original creators (and could be a major motivation to open source something), but nobody should be upset if maintainers choose otherwise.

It's nice if it's clearly communicated how maintainers see this though.
The law which extended American sovereignty to include American Samoa also said that normal American land laws do not apply. https://archive.org/details/modernsamoaitsgo00kees/page/266/...

Thus, in American Samoa, there are restrictions on what non-Samoans can do with land. https://asbar.org/code-annotated/37-0204-restrictions-on-ali... .

This sort of discrimination is illegal in the rest of the US, and allowed because of the insular laws.

If the insular laws are found unconstitutional, then those restriction on alienation of land are illegal. Which means we'll be breaking (yet again) an agreement we made with indigenous people.

The article mentions the American nationals on American Samoa who want American citizenship. While (as I understand it), others in American Samoa want to preserve their traditional landownership practices, instead of letting wealth decide, and don't want this to change.
The article tries to come to the conclusion that correlation equals causation. The title reads "A growing gap in premature deaths along party lines underscores the collision of politics and public health" which implies politics causes premature deaths. In reality it's more likely that the average Republican voter skews both lower income and rural which is the true causation of deaths.
There is a whole layer of security and compliance around the handling of credit card numbers that anyone who processes them has to go through. They are not considered publish information.
It sounds like you haven't contended much with the context behind the distinctions, maybe because you've been socialized into believing you willfully and freely consented to the coercive structures you inhabit.
Actually, there's plenty of evidence of fraud. This article is an announcement of the prosecution of some of it.

What's lacking is evidence of widespread fraud sufficiently coordinated and systemic to sway the results of a national Presidential election, which we aren't seeing because the system is already set up to monitor for it. 2020 wasn't the US's first time to the election roe-day-oh, and there's been 200 years of infrastructure put in place to detect and punish fraud, malfeasance, and attempts to infringe, dilute, or steal people's right to vote. That's why the claims one candidate made are extraordinary (and they failed to pass a smell test, much less bring actionable claims or evidence that would withstand legal scrutiny).

Most claims we see bandied about online are so risibly ignorant of the existing process that anyone with basic knowledge of how elections work does not take them seriously. They're equivalent in credibility and grasp of the system's machinery itself to saying foreign agents can compromise your computer by infiltrating the 1-bit.

To be clear: I'm excited that people are interested in the process (welcome to the club! There are literally t-shirts!). But I'm disheartened how many people come to the conversation thinking they already know how it works when, no, they don't; like many large and old systems, it has non-obvious quirks and Chesterton's Fences, and common sense doesn't always match up with the how or why of the system. Screaming "fraud" every time one sees something one doesn't understand isn't how one learns; it's how one guarantees continuation of ignorance.
Logs are there because any person at any CA can generate a cert for your domain and we want to know when that happens. We should fix that.

A new standard could dictate that registrars and CAs have to work together. Specifically, customer uploads a public key to a registrar, and a CA has to use registrar's public key to validate a CSR. This makes it impossible to create a valid certificate without the domain owner's key - and not whoever took over the domain record for the moment that the CA validated. The browser should validate that the cert was signed using the key from the registrar.

In this way even a rogue CA cert can't work on a client. Only a cert created by the domain owner will be valid. So only one CA and one key can create a valid cert.

It absolutely was not clear, which is why I checked the website and then pointed out the lack of clarity.

At first my thought was "Wow, nice, another UI toolkit that uses native widgets, that's good!" But, alas, it was not to be.
I very much agree with this and did exactly the same thing not too long ago. I have a few small apps running on my Raspberry Pi. I converted it to run from a flash drive and it has been very, very solid for about a year now.
It’s not about the victory or loss of either party. It’s saying there are two Americas developing simultaneously and people in each have different health outcomes.

Are the parties causative? Or are they just the labels that we have to describe the two groups currently? We don’t know.
You can never be sure that people running the precinct, or any office, are not corrupt. The rules should be such that it doesn't matter who is in office. Violation of the rules must be met with stiff penalty or the rules are not really a deterrent.

AFAIK most players quit after the price tanked. Axie was only employing people for a few months.

You need to ask where the money to pay those players comes from, and the answer is a mix of speculators and new players buying in to the game. So it's just another tulip/ponzi mix.
Certificate transparency only uses a blockchain if you redefine a blockchain to mean "any use of a merkle tree", which is all certificate transparency logs are.

You will notice the certificate transparency website makes zero mentions of blockchain anywhere: https://certificate.transparency.dev/howctworks/

What a blockchain normally means is something that has added some sort of attempt at solving the two generals problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Generals%27_Problem), as the original bitcoin whitepaper outlined.

That is to say, blockchains have a consensus mechanism to resolve multiple writers, with some of those being potentially untrusted.

If Certificate Transparency is a blockchain, than so are the zfs filesystem (which also uses a merkle tree internally), git, and dynamodb.
This caused our servers running docker on Ubuntu 20.04 to start entering reboot loops after our security update today. Showed up in the serial console as a Kernel Panic. Per this bug report, it affects AWS, GCP, and Azure.
If the protocol is that the server returns a specific "index N deleted" result for deleted N then the client can at least trust a valid response from the server as opposed to a DDoS or unmasking attempt. Any server that returns something other than a valid document or "N deleted" should no longer be trusted or communicated with, but retries for communication failures or timeouts should still be safe.

Edit: this assumes that the client gets a trusted index from a set of trusted servers who are at least as up to date as the latest index that is made available, which timestamped signatures or similar should suffice for. Or the client can supply the timestamped index signature and the server can reply with a different message if it's too old.
That is an excellent question. I carefully did not answer it because as soon as I do, no matter how wasteful and useless the program someone will come to defend it and I don't want to get in that fight.
Where you live, sure. But I can drive just a couple hours north of San Francisco and lose all cellular connectivity, entirely. In fact I am doing just that tonight and my friend and I have made contingency plans for meeting up at a festival going on in the mountains off the 101, where we expect to have no cell service.

I really wish people would set aside their "well it's always worked for me, surely it must work for everyone" attitude, because it is tragically and obnoxiously false.

I thought it was very innovative that my kids started "writing" in kindergarten using whatever phonetic spelling they could come up with. Interesting to see these children were doing the same thing long ago. Encouraging children to write this way must be more common than I thought, I don't recall doing it when I was a child.
Which just furthers my point, that "coercive" is in the eye of the beholder, making your statement tautological: "we only oppose structures that we oppose". No, fyi, most people would not consider prisons, taxes or the military to be "coercive", and neither would I.

Sorry for replying very late. I've used a similar technique of locking a "parent" row while adding items to a corresponding set. It works great as long as you can figure out a relationship like that and it's fine-grained enough that you are OK with the locking.

In traditional databases, the number linked to the commit order is usually the LSN (Log Sequence Number), which is an offset into the transaction log. Unfortunately, you can't figure that out until your transaction commits, so you can't use it during the transaction.

A hypothetical database where you could see your own LSN from within a transaction would require transaction commit order to be pre-determined at that point. An unrelated transaction with a lower LSN would block your transaction from committing.

In non-traditional databases, this could work differently. E.g. in kafka you can see your partition offsets during a transaction and messages in that partition will become visible in offset-order. The tradeoff is that this order doesn't correspond to global transaction commit order and readers will block waiting for uncommitted transactions (and all the other things about kafka too).
This uses dense (soft/weighted) transitions from any state to any state, and then some regularization to guide it to more sparse solutions.

In practice, the number of states can be huge (thousands, maybe millions), so representing this as a dense matrix (a 1Mx1M matrix is way too big) is not going to work. It must be sparse, and in practice (all FST you usually deal with) it is. So it's very much a waste to represent it as a dense matrix.

That's why there are many specialized libraries to deal with FSTs. Also in combination with deep learning tools. See e.g. K2 (https://github.com/k2-fsa/k2).
Something brandable is worth holding on to IMO, especially if it's distinctive enough to trademark which likely means there isn't a lot of search competition either.

This is a terrible argument. Yes, gambling is less bad than hyperinflation. But a well-designed stablecoin like DAI, RAI, or RSV is far less risky than gambling on tulips.
That’s definitely Uber’s biggest obstacle.

But in some ways, until autonomous vehicles can go everywhere, they need a blend of autonomous cars and human-driven cars to be the first stop app for rides. Then they can route an autonomous car or human driven car depending on the ride needed.

Otherwise riders will hit a wall if they request a ride outside the autonomous service zone.
1. Say you have a society with such a custom. Say someone violates it, passing that level of power and wealth and still trying to get more. Now what? In particular, they have significant power. How are you going to enforce the custom on them? Or can they freely violate it if they're willing to break societal norms?

2. Say your society doesn't have such a custom (which is most existing societies). Now what? How do you mold society into such a consensus that nobody will think of violating it? Do you think that creating such a consensus is easier than creating a government to limit the power of the powerful?
depends on how the system works. What are the timing requirements? How powerful is the CPU? How much memory do you have? How often will the system be reset? Embedded isn't just 8/16 bit CPUs with < 128k of memory these days.
Poker is gambling - winners make money by taking losers' money, that is well understood.

In Play 2 Earn my understanding is that it's not gambling, instead money "magically" appears from merely playing the game.

The only way for this to be sustainable is if the output from playing the game is something that someone else finds valuable and can't be automated (otherwise why not automate it?) like Mechanical Turk or the various captcha-solving services.

I don't believe this is the case, so the only other answer is that the buy-ins from newer players are used to reward existing ones - aka a Ponzi. Alternatively, it could be that the system isn't even a Ponzi and is instead bankrolled by the parent company which itself is bankrolled by clueless investors not realizing the above (Play 2 Earn will only work if the entire system produces an output that someone else values enough to pay for and can't get said output elsewhere for cheaper).
From the point of view of climate change, the fact that data centres are often and increasingly carbon neutral (because that’s the cheapest source of electricity, no carbon tax needed) while jet fuel isn’t usually derived from biofuel means there’s a significant possibility, albeit not a certainty, of a divide by zero error.
Yeah...it really sucks when the current generation doesn't rebel in a way approved by the 'rebels' of a previous generation. You should do something about that...tell them to get off your lawn or something.
But if you add a huge number of nodes and put regularization on the sparsity of the edge weights, you have essentially a model which can adapt to problems using subsets of its structure. Somewhat like the "lottery ticket" hypothesis in NN theory. Then you can think of each traversal choice as a conditional branch and voila, the program runs!

You can see this in effect actually in the article when the author uses the penalty on the entropy of the transition probabilities.
I hope it will be much faster. I try JetBrains IDE every couple of years and the sheer latency and lack of text rendering quality is turning me away every time.
Apple should read its own Guidelines
I don't want to downplay such things but I am curious if this is a case where some politician was trying to appease some group of constituents or are they actually enforcing this? What happens when someone breaks this law? Must the windows be removed? Will the owners be fined daily? Who is enforcing this law?

I ask because similar things are occurring as we speak with body armor. Canada and the US are trying to make it illegal for anyone outside of law enforcement to buy body armor. It's silly of course, since anyone that has any sewing knowledge can easily make a plate carrier and anyone can get plates of steel cut to fit the plate carrier decorated with kittens. One could even use books instead of steel plates as Demolition Ranch demonstrated.
There is a huge cost to losing the most talented people in the workforce. Exit these days means that very talented people often lose track of their field and face a harder re-entry point with lower salary if they decide to return.

What I'm most worried about in leaving my career as a solutions architect is that the ability to start and build a business of my own seems insurmountable when you consider the world's reliance on social media and popularity/wealth as a requirement for success. There are so many people doing absolutely the same thing these days, and so many people that present the image of success and popularity in being an entrepreneur in pretty much every field that valid/great ideas get drowned out so easily... If everyone is doing the same thing, and many people are faking their success, coupled with wealthy individuals that can easily copycat ideas, it creates massive barriers to organic success.

There is usually only one page on most sites for publications, that's often a wild and crazy mashup of posts from all disciplines and fields of interest. Our attention spans are also shrinking because of short form content, that makes it very easy to view something important, but also forget it 5 seconds later, so even marketing is overwhelming to most of the people that would support independent business.

Sites like Reddit started out great, but now subreddits are often run with other intentions than open communication... Many mods secretly steer business in their own directions because of the flood of competition, and it feeds deceptive marketing techniques and brigade culture.

I don't want to be stuck in complaining, I think the world really needs to evaluate how much we are fostering "monopolistic dynasty" culture and nepotism on the Internet, and how it's destroying capitalism... We all really need to bring back a sense of distributing speaking time among wider ranges of audiences and speakers, and fostering discussions that aren't based on popularity and wealth as indicators of validity... The very same culture that has negatively infected the workplaces we might want to leave.

> To me he's saying that SUVs make no sense (rightfully so)

By "SUV" are you referring exclusively to archetypical American models like the Escalade and Expedition? Or do you include somewhat more "polite" vehicles like the Range Rover and Honda CR-V? How would you categorize larger crossover models like the the Model X which Tesla always refers to as an "SUV" despite its shorter wheelbase and noticeably less rear-pax legroom (and doesn't even have seatback pockets...)

Honestly curious, thanks!
