What’s important about this, is that Jones is being sued in other jurisdictions that don’t have maximum punitive limits.

So it sets an important precedent for Jones (and others), that doing this kind of thing can cost you up to $50 million.

Even though Jones won’t actually have to pay that amount, an important example has been made of him.

If the agreement is with the company, and not him as an individual, then he could just shut the company itself down, as it probably has zero assets.
This is completely unrelated to the question being asked by the parent. They aren't asking about the average programmer. They are asking how many people in the world can truly 'prove' (to some reasonable degree) that the cryptography in use and the algorithms that are implementing that cryptography are 'secure' (to some reasonable degree).

Put another way, they are asking how many people in the world could verify that the algorithms used by libsodium, crypto_box, etc. are secure.

> It's absolutely, 100% fine for someone to say that they subjectively prefer the sound quality of a record player to a CD.

I love listening to vinyl. But I’m not gonna lie to myself and say “it sounds better”. The engineer/scientist in me knows it doesn’t, and the pragmatist/experimentalist in me knows that even if I can reliably detect differences between a good digital recording and a good vinyl copy of a song (which I’m not convinced I really can) there is nit nearly enough difference ever to say one is better than the other.

I like the ceremony of playing vinyl. It adds to my enjoyment, but in the kind of way that a Japanese tea ceremony “improves the taste” of tea.

Also, a long time back I realised that listening to hifi _gear_ leads only to criticism and unhappiness, while listening to great music leads to joy. So I mostly have given up critically listening to “gear”. A great song or album can be a thing of joy coming out of your laptop speakers. Coltrane or Ellen Allien or Polyphia are no less amazingly talented in shitty phone earbuds compared to my thousands of dollars of living room hifi. I’m too old to want to argue about “clarity of soundstage” or “time alignment in the tweeter crossover”, I just want to rock out or dance or groove along to great tunes. I can do that with a 100% analog signal path in my lounge room, or in cheap Bluetooth earbuds inside my motorcycle helmet with a 97db noise floor…

Sounds like this would be a fun project to implement with a Raspberry Pi and cheap speaker and a sensor to detect someone in the elevator and just stick it to the roof in a little enclosure and play some music. Would be more fun if you added a camera and got footage of people’s reaction to music suddenly in the elevator.
It isn't really in the best interest of the artist to provide this. The final mix is part of the overall product / work of art. Providing all of the individual tracks (there could be 30 or more in total) would also take up a lot of space / increase processing requirements while benefiting very few.
Yes they can. They cannot enforce their decisions directly. They can certainly influence, and perhaps even form alliances that propagate those decisions. With those alliances, some decisions can be made into law.
> No. I don't think we should rely on formal standards, like FIPS, NIST, and the IETF.

I assume your concerns are with the process of standardization, and not the idea of standards themselves. After all, there are plenty of expert peer-reviews going on in NIST and in the IRTF.

Noise is useful for building your own bespoke kit, but there does need to be an agreement to use it in the same manner if you hope for interoperability. Things like public key crypto are precisely useful because the other side can read the information back out at the end of the process, even if they aren't running e.g. the same email client version.

https://3dprint.com/292186/saint-gobain-launches-parametric-... [..] As with bridges, people seem to have a particular affinity for 3D printed stairs. With good reason: aside from just being eye-catching structures, the ability to print things like bridges and staircases could be a significant factor determining the long-term success of the additive construction sector.

Although stairs produced via additive manufacturing (AM) are becoming more commonplace lately, there’s still something quite unique about the latest such project, launched by Saint-Gobain: they’re engineered with parametric design. The project reduced CO2 emissions by 50 percent and construction time by eight weeks, compared to traditional methods.

Seems accurate. I'm from the UK and I've never heard elevator music anywhere in my entire life. For the longest time, I thought it was actually just a thing in American movies.
NIST is procedurally the least objectionable of all of these standards bodies. Contests are better than collaborations. But NIST itself is a force for evil, not for the lurid message board reason of a shadowy cabal of lizard people trying to weaken PQC, but because "NIST standardization" keeps a lot of 1990s-era crypto in use and prevents a lot of modern crypto from being deployed in the industry.

That's the whole point. Word "natural" is not good in any serious argument because it simply doesn't have well-recognized unambiguous semantics most people can agree on. Ask a bunch of folks if some things are natural and while they'll most likely agree on the basics (wild forest flower is most likely would be called "natural", while a mobile phone is most likely not) the opinions will start to diverge on less obvious stuff (e.g. penicillin).

It's like a concept of "god" - everyone has their own idea what it might mean. (full disclosure: I'm ignostic).

With such words it's best to either start with a definition, or pick some different, less ambiguous term.

I love records (78s and vinyl) for the tactile and visual experience-- and the fact that I can get something for a few bucks at the thrift store and not feel too bad about my toddler ruining it trying to put the needle on. To that end I have stuck to cheap, sturdy, school-grade equipment and mostly secondhand records.

It's so fascinating to me that an inert physical disc is engraved with sound waves that are reproduced by dragging something along to return them to sound, in the case of the 78s without the need for anything electrical in between. It's an added bonus that it has zero opportunity to inspire screen time for my kid, who absolutely doesn't need to stare at a screen while listening to music.
I think you could reasonably think self driving cars exist today, or at least driverless ones with only minimal outside control by humans during the actual drive, because self driving taxi services do exist, though only in well-mapped geofenced areas, and I would not be surprised if they drove all the routes with a test driver first. If they are fake, it's very convincing, as it's clearly not just someone with a TV and game controller a few miles away. A computer is clearly controlling the path of the car without human input for seconds at a time.
If something is well-maintained, it is usually pretty easy to make Nix derivation for it.

Common Lisp. You can redefine any class while your system is running, and you can customize how the data from old instances is updated to be used by new instances.

> An instrument amplified by vacuum tubes does have a distinct sound

Only if it’s pushed into distortion.

Guitar players (generally) like tube Amos because of the way they distort compared to transistor amps.

If you are not pushing the amps into distortion, they will only sound different if they’re badly designed.
I worked in guitar audio effects for a while (the exact opposite of this discussion), but I started playing with stereo guitar rigs and then thought about three speaker setups and beyond.

At a certain point the speakers really start to interfere with each other and you have to worry about the stability of the image at each point in the room...

It occurred to me at that point that you're really starting to approach 3. You're trying to recreate the sound pressure patterns within the room.

That's about the point I moved on to something simpler. Granted my explorations were super simple, but it was a VERY weird thought that got me thinking about the question you've asked.

Two things can easily be true: that NIST mishandled a FOIA request, and that there isn't especially good reason to accept on faith Bernstein's concerns about the PQC process, which is unrelated to how they handle FOIA.

Meanwhile: you haven't actually added any light to this subthread: the tweets we're talking about do not dismiss the suit. Cryptographic researchers that aren't stans of Daniel Bernstein (there are a lot of those) are also unhappy about NIST clowning up FOIA.

You are in a deeply weird and broken place if you think you can divide the world into "people who take what Daniel Bernstein says on faith" and "people who trust NIST". I don't know if you're in that place! But some people on this thread clearly are.

I think the problem is that Amazon returns are not inspected by someone associated with the manufacture of the product. I suspect that return handlers have to handle thousands of products and can only give a returned product a cursory inspection.

I once bought some expensive eyeglass frames from Amazon. When they arrived, it was pretty clear that they were not factory new. I returned the product and gave the company a bad review. The CEO of the company actually sent me an email apologizing, saying that this was an on-going problem. He said people order new frames identical to ones they currently own, swap out the lenses, and return the old ones. Amazon will often accept these returns, repackage them, and ship them as new, and the company which sells the frames has not control over this.

Tesla then resold the cars without FSD unless the new buyers paid for the scam again.

For what it's worth, Jones did have to spend several years consistently abusing the discovery process (across multiple cases before this same judge) before it got to this point.
