Then maybe, past the very basics, it should mostly be taught alongside science, at least for the vast majority of students.

Not a flippant suggestion—I actually think that might improve the value most students get out of their later math classes. Might even make "I hate math" a less common sentiment.
Right, but a theory's inferred veracity is only as good as its testable, falsifiable predictions.
That $100 billion doesn't vanish into thin air. It principally goes into plant and equipment to build the machine, as well as research into high tech manufacturing for the same.

The world wide web which we are currently using was invented at CERN. You can literally go look at the proposal manuscript.

I used to work at YouTube so can speak to that; I assume the other high-value properties are similar.

YouTube runs many geographically distributed datacenters and can each more-or-less independently serve user requests; there's also sufficient redundancy that a full DC can go down and the rest are able to carry the redirected load. When a link goes down like today it's often not user visible as most requests are already served at least from within the same continent. If a whole data center goes down, users might experience higher latency from longer round-trips and colder caches because their traffic is being routed to a DC further away that now has more diverse traffic, but they also won't experience an outage.

This stuff was fun to work on. :)
Do we pursue knowledge to build a strong economy? Or do we build a strong economy so we can pursue knowledge?

Although I’ve spent a lot of my career working for a strong economy, I lean strongly toward the latter. The highest achievement of humanity is not cheap cell phone plans, it’s more like General Relativity, or the Moon landing.

What “use” is humanity? What is life for? Big questions for sure, and I won’t claim to have the answers. But I feel pretty confident that most folks believe there is more to life than squinting at everyday problems.
I have a launch-model Switch, and it still has trouble charging even on latest firmware. It's very possible that this is one of the "Mariko" fixes; Nintendo silently released a refresh of the Nintendo Switch before the OLED model was announced, dubbed the Mariko models. These had a number of changes, including but not limited to:

- New, more secure boot sequence

- Updated Nvidia Tegra board

- ~20% better battery life

- Reinforced chassis design

It seems likely that they took the opportunity with Mariko to redesign their charging ICs to be more tolerant. I heartily recommend looking up some of the more subtle differences between the models too, it's really interesting to see how Nintendo updated a mass-market product without anyone really noticing.

Thank you -- then chip has a tamper trace that needs to be cut (you cut roughly 1/4 of the note to slice it).

>4: The automation is done, and the company continues paying the employees who now are being paid to do nothing at all. They can relax, or work on hobbies, or whatever they like.

I'm not sure this is a great outcome. It soft-locks them into their current position without any great motivation to better themselves. It also creates resentment in those around them. When the company does eventually let them go, only the most forward-thinking will still have useful job skills and can find another job.

Sure, they could quit or request a different job, but how many people can recognize those mental problems coming ahead of time and avoid it? Most people are going to be fat and happy and do nothing to get ahead. I don't even blame them. It'd be incredibly tempting for me, too. In fact, since I've been at this company so long and basically stopped growing, I kind of already have fallen into that trap. It's a pretty comfy trap since I like my work and I get paid pretty well for it. It's just not forward-looking at all.

It's SUPPOSED to be a shitty/frustrating/annoying process, not easy. This is your "break glass in case of emergency" solution - you don't want to ever use it and you want it to be super hard for someone else to compromise it.

We have plenty of ways to make this easy but if all those avenues are blocked because of some black swan event, you need a backup - and that backup can't be too easy because then it invites attack.
> The point of signing is to do a checksum of the content of the video, not just adding a signature next to the stream (which would be pretty useless).

That's what I meant: sign the video content with some new key in a way that looks like it was done by a device.

> The signature of the politician on a street corner would only be valid if it actually verifies the content of the video; and the only entity that can produce that signature is the holder of the private key.

The hypothetical politician's encryption keys are irrelevant. The point is that even authentic video is going to be signed by some rando device with no connection to the people depicted, so a deepfake signed by some rando keys looks the same.

IMHO, cameras that embed a signature in the video stream solves some authenticity problems in some narrow contexts, but it's nowhere near a panacea that "will pretty much solve the trust issues deep fakes are causing."

If you want Europe to be as attractive as headquarter location of mega-companies as USA is, you may have to compete with USA on a lot of policies (taxes, labor laws, etc) that would turn Europe into a different kind of society. Do we really want that?

Many of these mega-companies are publicly listed. Norway alone owns a significant amount of stock in some of these companies. I'm not sure we have a problem. But I'm not gonna complain about trying to change this and get giant high-margin tech company going here in Europe. I'm just not sure how to do it.

This idea that policy should be set based on a grossly oversimplified wrapping up of a huge surface area of agreements into the term "ally" and vague notions of ethnic similarity needs to die.

It gives the ruling class a mechanism to excuse war crimes of our supposed "allies" and drop bombs on supposed "enemies" for perceived minor infractions.

- custom stickers (and not so limited as reactions on Discord, anybody can use any sticker set anywhere)
- nice bot api (discord offers quite good experience as well)
- works well when on shaggy mobile network. Doesn't send duplicate messages/etc (Messenger does)
- doesn't censor messages. I'm free to send link to any website, upload any file type (again, looking at you, messenger)
- you can quickly summarize different media shared in a given conversation, view all photos, movies, files, URLs, etc
- search actually finds stuff (looking at you again, messenger)

> His prosecutors are not permitted to seek cash bail, try juveniles as adults or seek longer sentences for perpetrators with gang affiliations.

For the kinds of crimes that frustrate San Franciscans, I don't know if any of these things actually make a difference. Whether prosecutors seek a 3 years or 5 year sentence doesn't seem like it will move the needle.

By the time crimes get to the DA's office, the horse has left the barn - agree or disagree with Boudin, SF crime is predominantly an enforcement (and/or cultural) issue.

Isn't moving money around with APIs just moving money around by sending messages, which is what we can do already by sending a check in the mail?

How many hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars of market cap is dedicated to providing: bank accounts, transfer services, security brokerage, options trading, credit default swaps, and other derivatives. You can easily implement the entire functionality of the entire global banking system on the blockchain. Rather than require hundreds of thousands of specialized bankers, you can do it with miners running nodes in the block chain. This is a huge efficiency improvement and allows for a more democratized system. You can think this is cool, or stupid, or dangerous, or all three. But if you aren't interested in the tech, why bother commenting on it?
As someone who was born in San Francisco (third gen) and has bounced around between the city and other areas of the state/country most of my life, I can assure you that swapping one set of politicians for another is going to have very little effect on the deep-seated problems facing the city and the Bay Area in general. Which issues are the most important are debatable, but these have to be considered:

(1) Jobs. There used to be a ton of electronics and garment manufacturing jobs in the region. Most such jobs required no more than a high school education, possible some vocational training, but the R & D and white-collar sections also provided employement for the college-educated. That's mostly all gone to China, Mexico, Indonesia, etc. Right out of high school I actually did a couple years doing electronics assembly line manufacturing in various locations, including in an exciting laser-welding shop, making ridiculously good money relative to my peers (I could afford my own apartment at 18) - and there were people who'd been there decades. Gets boring fast, so I went to college, as I didn't want to be there forever.

When you look at the huge homeless population today, I think it was less than 10% back then of what it is now, and my guess is that the availability of those jobs played a big role in that.

(2) Housing. The reality is, either you are in or near the 1% by wealth or you can't buy a home, and rents are ridiculously high, and there are confounding factors like AirBNB taking homes off the market and foreign investors using real estate as a tax haven / money laundering scheme, etc. Developers don't want to build high-density affordable housing as profit margins are lower. Increased population puts strains on public transportation and traffic. The whole region could turn into something like Mexico City (wealthy center protected by police, surrounded by miles of slums and shantytowns). Importantly, people who serve key roles - teachers, service workers, etc. - generally have to commute into the city, was they can't afford local rents. This wealth/poverty class divide is not very stable or pleasant to be around.

I think what a certain sector of wealthy SF wants (basically the people behind the recall effort) is for the police to mainly serve the role of kicking the homeless out of the pricey neighborhoods and concentrating them in areas where they never go, which will heavily impact these poorer neighborhoods, exacerbating the growing class conflict. Oh, and one job sector that is growing? Armed private security. I don't think the outcome of the recall will affect any of this significantly, however.

The only real fixes I see would be a massive jobs program to bring back manufacturing to the region and a push towards Tokyo-style tiny apartment construction across the region.
I’m guessing he’s from Texas because his username says so.

But I’m from the SF bay area and he’s spot on. We have massive social issues here (homelessness, drug-related crimes, urban blight, etc.) which are being made worse by so-called “progressive” policies.

This kind of logic I would expect only from a bean-counter, and a bad one to be honest... Why would anyone pay $80k/month to solve a problem that could be solved with 0.5 FTE?

Not just that... if I'm working at the IT department of this company (surely they have one) and hear about such deal, I'll have three thoughts:

1. Can I do it myself? Give me a raise and I'll take the extra responsibility. Everyone wins.

2. If they are throwing this much money out of the window, I'll go knock on my managers door and ask for a raise.

3. If they say they can't give me a raise for any bullshit reason, I'll immediately lose trust in upper management and I'll start looking for a job the next minute.
Tips on how to best communicate your project via writing
It's very strange. Some items have a glut of inventory, others are very difficult to find. Weird substitutions are taking place in some cases, like the GE light bulbs from Mexico a friend spotted at a local retailer in Boston.

Prices seem higher regardless, which ties into higher fuel and labor costs.
I stand corrected then, this would probably be a great fit

> But there is a "group of people who have been doing high energy physics that want to keep doing high energy physics".

Apparently it needs to be said because people act like they don't know it: those are the only people interested in answering questions about the fundamental particles! Diverging interests is the fundamental reason people separate into different fields.

> they might not even know about the other approaches

You can easily find the lists of seminars given at CERN and other places: they do know about other fields. In fact people from HEP move to other fields, and folks from other fields move into HEP.

> Try some of the 10 million dollar machines rather than only the 100 billion dollar machines.

They are being built though! In fact there are 2 billion experiments being built.

The argument here is something else: that High energy physics should just stop building big machines at all, and instead magically solve the problem that small machines were built and fully exploited many many decades ago.

The proposed FCC cost is 30 billion.

Can you provide some more details about the types of issues the PD has shifted onto the DA?

As an outsider, the only real issue I'm aware of is the refusal to prosecute theft under $1k (edit: $950), which seems like something that is completely out of the police's hands.

Creating a spec that people don’t want, can’t, or can’t afford to adhere is a failure.

I don’t recall ever seeing prior USB devices fail at adherence.

The problem is that USB C is a massive spec with a lot of things that aren’t always needed in it (display, pd, high data speeds etc). You can either design your product to implement a lot more things (eg Macs) or skimp out and cause confusion (Switch). By breaking the standard, people effectively have to buy your charger or cables to know it’ll work. If I have to either buy a high end product or buy cables and chargers only from the original brand, we aren’t really any better off with this.

It's not about the keys of the politician. It's about the keys of the manufacturer of the camera. The aim of the signature is to prove that a video did in fact come from such camera at such location, at such time.

Of course, if one has physical access to the camera/sensor it's possible to make a fake video with a valid signature. But it's a little more difficult than simply running a deepfake script on some machine in the cloud.

True. A better description would be something like "an auto-parallelizing compiler/runtime for Unix shell scripts" which accepts standard shell scripts and performs automatic parallelization wherever it can.

Why is a letter about crypto referring to Fintech in general in the title? To me this shows a distinct lack of context and the view that these people think they know a lot about crypto, but know very little about finance and moreover the authors don't think they need to know much about finance. For example, the bald assertion that crypto has no real world use cases ignores the work happening within traditional finance to use blockchain for trade settlement.

Do I know everything about these topic? No, but I'm not writing a public letter soliciting signatures.

Am I a crypto shill? No, I think current crypto is a rip off, but this letter isn't a good argument for that. It's too light on details and doesn't acknowledge the areas where it could be valuable.
The biggest benefit of a paid email provider is you have a paid stake in it. If you're locked out, you're still paying for the service so they have an interest in restoring your access so you continue paying.

In light of what you've said, I reread the What Of Strings section a few times.

I've gone from misunderstanding it to not understanding it, which is an improvement I suppose. Because you conclude by saying that the buffer is the same as the string, so that makes the string-based versus buffer-based comparison feel like a matter of terminology. If that section isn't about some tight matching of the data structure to the user experience (including programming) then I don't understand it.

> Emacs is not bifurcated, but a lapse of judgment 40 years ago could’ve made it so: a complex, string-fiddly world for Serious Programmers; and a safe, boring, but disjointed, world that “users” are expected to use.

If the above isn't about the gap buffer (I don't dispute that, you wrote it) then I don't know what's being referred to, maybe that could be bolstered a bit for those of us who don't have a detailed knowledge of emacs history.
I think you describe the conventional wisdom well here.

But: are those really the only options? Paranoid stop-the-world wishful thinking or all-new-trends-are-inevitable?

I realise I'm almost certainly wildly misrepresenting your point of view with the latter label! I don't really mean to ascribe it to you. But I think the conversation often ends up tacitly as a debate between those two positions, both of which are mistakes. But one other option -- as an example -- is to find more complicated ways to stop doing <bad use of tech>.

A striking historical example to me because it's so old it can hardly be said to have been an invention that needed to be responded to -- rather just an apparent invitable fact of life: For the longest time, it seems everyday brutal violence on a level we find hard to imagine was common. At the time, that would have been obviously inevitable. Nothing else had ever happened. Then it basically stopped -- turns out it never was inevitable. Why? We didn't for example ban knives as a technology, but we did a lot of things over the centuries that, to a good numerical approximation, stopped us using them for violence (banning them in certain situations is only one, I suspect not the most important and maybe not even necessary).
