> that's just shifting the blame onto the user.

Even so, it's the first time I've seen a company actually imply to the public in plain English that they can't protect private info, rather than maintain a facade of security that doesn't actually exist.

As you point out though, if Twitter requires a phone number to sign up and 99.9% of users use their personal number, then Twitter are basically saying "our security sucks and if you want an account you have no alternative...".

Some interesting corollaries:

- Are there any services that will sign up to twitter on behalf of users? (and would they work or would it be merely shifting trust from Twitter to a potentially less trustworthy party?)

- I wonder if Twitter could consider not requiring personal info at sign up so as to avoid this dark UX

- Is there a 10 minute mail for phone numbers?
Consider canceling Spotify then.

Chicago IMHO is just about the only place outside of NYC or Boston that you can live a full life car-free, if you live within the right boundary.

The "Chicagoland Area" is huge and includes swaths of "city" that are suburbs in everything but name. But, if you live within, say, the rough bounds of Rogers Park in the north, to Humboldt Park in the west, to South Loop to the south, a car probably won't be strictly necessary. (With exceptions for some inner neighborhoods that are underserved by transit for historic reasons, like Clybourn Corridor.)

The El subway is great by American standards (but not world standards) and the bus system is comprehensive, with many 24 hours lines. You would almost certainly rely mostly on buses as for historic reasons the El subway was designed to service the inner city loop and not the outlying neighborhoods, so it rarely goes exactly where you want to be, unless where you want to be is always the office.

The bummer is having to wait on a bus when it's very cold or snowing out.

Biking is still quite bad by any standard except the jaundiced American one, but slowly improving after some recent high-profile killings of children on bikes.
Fascinating! Any idea where you came across this?
I am skeptical of this because if they just wanted to raise revenue at the expense of privacy there are a lot easier ways to do it. They could make FBAR apply domestically. Or just require banks report checks and wires over 50k. Banning Tornado Cash is a kind of decision made by self styled counterproliferation/illicit finance/terror finance/anti corruption "experts."

SGX’s per-chip private keys are the “flag” in Intel’s unintentional CPU vulnerability CTF.

Those keys have been popped so many times.

Reading the original they explicitly state that side channels are out of scope for their threat model. As a result, designed a system that was essentially maximally vulnerable to side-channels (and other architectural issues). It’s really hard to trust SGX as a result. Otoh, if I were in a bind and needed to do trusted computation on an untrusted host, are there really other options that don’t suffer similar (or worse) issues?

Good work.

This should become a recurring post and that way we don't have to attempt to continually make a show of displaying the value of bitcoin in every other post about bitcoin.

Invariably, the positive comments are downvoted to oblivion and the naysayers "I just don't see a valid use case" stands at the top of the comments.

The media ($$$) and government tried very hard to stigmatize Bitcoin and for many the conditioning really took hold

I don't think that promoting existing internet standards over Matrix will hurt open communications.

Instead I think constantly reinventing the same thing with slightly different, incompatible primitives is hurting the ecosystem a lot more.

Bridges also won't solve this. The matrix.org XMPP implementation (besides not being mentioned anywhere, not even in the Matrix FAQ about XMPP) is almost unusable and I suspect it will never allow for encrypted communications or A/V calls.
I mean probably not, but given what has come to pass, if I were you, I’d be looking for an actual, reputable lawyer in this area to ask, not some randoms on the Internet.
> Gratitude is when others do things you appreciate, that are generous, for your benefit, roughly speaking.

This is incorrect. You have a definition error.

GRAT'ITUDE, noun [Latin gratitudo, from gratus, pleasing. See Grace.]

An emotion of the heart, excited by a favor or benefit received; a sentiment of kindness or good will towards a benefactor; thankfulness. gratitude is an agreeable emotion, consisting in or accompanied with good will to a benefactor, and a disposition to make a suitable return of benefits or services, or when no return can be made, with a desire to see the benefactor prosperous and happy. gratitude is a virtue of the highest excellence, as it implies a feeling and generous heart, and a proper sense of duty.

KINDNESS, noun [from kind, the adjective.]

1. Good will; benevolence; that temper or disposition which delights in contributing to the happiness of others, which is exercised cheerfully in gratifying their wishes, supplying their wants or alleviating their distresses; benignity of nature. kindness ever accompanies love.

There is no man whose kindness we may not sometime want, or by whose malice we may not sometime suffer.

2. Act of good will; beneficence; any act of benevolence which promotes the happiness or welfare of others. Charity, hospitality, attentions to the wants of others, etc., are deemed acts of kindness or kindnesses

NARCISSISM, noun

An exceptional interest in and admiration for yourself.

----

There's an important word in that definition of narcissism: "exceptional." Showing gratitude cannot constitute narcissism as such.

Please stop trying to redefine words.

During the pandemic, hearing about the shows and movies people watch and reflecting on the same that I consume, I always think about not just the quantity but the density of entertainment these days.

We've been in the "golden age" of prestige TV for years now, right? So people end up following serialized storylines, binging from time to time. Even 9-12 episodes a season piles up. People are (were) following shows like Game of Thrones with casts of dozens of characters. The MCU is just this massive twine ball of franchises and storylines. Multiverses and crossovers are en vogue.

On top of that, you have the stories and characters on social media. Someone might be on Facebook seeing what their grandkids are up to. Others are on TikTok hearting their choice content creators, curating the algorithm for more like them. Following their favorite streamers on YouTube, or Twitch. Even text-based media on Twitter is an endless source of in-jokes from in-groups, memes, different codes of conduct, different ways to get dunked upon.

You can choose to avoid all that, right? But you still engage upon it somehow. You lurk on HN for long enough, you see familiar accounts, with the high karmas and early creation dates. Long thoughtful comments and high community clout. You've entered into another social network without expecting to, another cast of characters, another stage full of drama and conflict.

It's all very removed from the real world- and yet, another thought from the pandemic quarantine- is that not what we're doing so? We work so we can play. We play so we can experience emotions safely, at a distant, from the real physical dangers of the world. Every form of art is a simulation. So then we don't have to bleed on a battlefield, get bitten by a lion, grind away in real toil. So, what-?

I guess we should be looking for existence beyond entertainment, whether it's an active or a passive form of amusing ourselves. The past couple of years have been a unique time that's stripped out so much of the outside world and its complications, and allowed for longer stints of entertainment. Optimized for it, you could said.

It's not exactly a "new" finding that neurons communicate signals to each other by means other than purely electrical signalling. The existence of well over 100 different neurotransmitters has been known for some time, and these are used to create unique signal cascades within the receiving neuron depending on the exact concentration sent. There is nothing equivalent to this in artificial neural networks. Artificial neural networks are not necessarily using binary neurons. Each activation unit may receive and pass on a continuous signal, but this tends to be a single floating-point number, usually normalized to be between -1 and 1 or between 0 and 1. Biological neurons are sending at minimum hundreds of these continuous-valued signals to each other. Likely, the closest way to build an equivalent artificial neural network would to have each neuron have hundreds of connections to all the other neurons it is connected to, rather than just one, but even that isn't necessarily equivalent, as what actually happens internal to the cells in response to these signal cascades isn't all that well-understood, but it involves quite a bit more than just determining what sort of signal to pass on to the next synapse.

Us: We want to move a little ship on the screen

Teacher: Ok, let me get some info.

A few days later, we take that stuff and work out what we think needs doing and then we do it.

Of course it never works, or is slow. I remember the first attempt being slow. We computed all the crazy screen addresses. On an Apple this is far more convoluted than one might think.

An iteration or few later we have lookup tables, now understand why those were in the Apple documentation and a ship moving.

Wash, rinse repeat for all sorts of stuff.

If I had it to do over again, I would collect the bits of code, info and package it up with a lesson in each one.

Students work through those and end up with a library of things they can combine to do fun things.

We would get stuck on big picture stuff. That is where the teacher was super high value.

We would lose interest, or wonder about something else. They would remind us what we said we wanted to do and help us do it minimally.

That itself was an important lesson.
