Yes, absolutely. I often think about whether we should just go to the natural logical conclusion. Using GPS and speed data to automatically fine you if you speed and deduct from your linked bank account - you can contest this but you must pay first.

I dislike cameras as it feels like you're constantly performing and if you slip up, you don't get to learn, instead your mistake is archived and put up for others to scrutinize.

I get that we, as humans, enjoy documenting our world, but the idea a spy which will no doubt store data that is accessible either remotely or locally with the right tool, is now and has become so pervasive will probably be considered one of the most grotesque things future societies will look back on and think we were insane for ever allowing. So much of our history is lost to the ages, and frankly, it's best it stays that way.
> Torvalds added that Rust isn't that terrible in the end; "it's not Perl".

Glowing endorsement from Torvalds right there. I'm really curious about how this will work out, Rust is my favourite programming language by a fair margin and seeing it being used more and more in places where C or C++ has traditionally dominated is very exciting. The future is looking bright (for those of us who like Rust).
In our case, yes. Our balance of around $4k was frozen for 180 days then PayPal said they will keep it all due to "damages", which they did not specify. Subscriptions will fail to be renewed.
Socializing the retirement system would make us MORE dependent on the birthrate. Social security draws from the working force to pay for currently retired. Its already breaking at the seams. If the working force increases and the retirees increase we are in trouble.

It would be better if people saved up for their own retirement over time and did not depend on the government forcing the working force to give up their income.
If anything you need MORE regulation. To prevent services to impose their arbitrary rules via TOS.

They are obviously not going to say that directly in public, so public statements mean little.
IMO VPN services that don't defeat geolocation like Apple's Private Relay, the Google One VPN service and Cloudflare Warp are a good compromise for privacy.

This is because they allow businesses to provide their services without breaking the law eg. gambling is legal in some states and illegal in others, betting services need to distinguish/target users accordingly.

Insurance providers might only be licensed in certain states and not in others and also therefore need to correctly distinguish/target users correctly.

US companies are also restricted from doing business with certain embargoed and sanctioned countries and they are expected to use technological tools like IP geolocation to be compliant.

"OFAC makes clear its expectation that companies consider Internet Protocol ("IP") address geolocation data when assessing whether online customers are located in sanctioned jurisdictions." [0]

These and other legitimate usecases are defeated by VPNs.

There'll be another Cash for Clunkers type program, and there won't be any cheap, reliable old cars.
I imagine that we will see the following:

1. Cars that are good enough to drive themselves most of the time.

2. Remote driving centers, run by the car manufacturers, that will have a human take over as soon as the car hits a spot it is unsure of. To the passenger, this is invisible and is considered self driving. (As long as the self-driving is good enough, one operator can handle a lot of cars. If there is an open standard, one remotely-led car can lead [or at least prompt] all the cars in back of it.)

3. Areas, such as urban centers, that only allow self driving vehicles and have no parking (as the vehicles can leave after drop off).

4. Improvements to self-driving in those areas, as they are geofenced, don't have human drivers, and have lots of cars hitting any given snag - all of which make debugging easier.

5. As problems are solved, and the pressure to move to self-driving goes up (due to said areas) the self driving part will handle more, and remote-control less, in ever widening circles.

It's kind of a moot question. If the US won't put boots on the ground in Ukraine, it will never do so in Moscow.

> the fact that they are in fact making their phones more repairable, which is beneficial to the environment and consumers in reality, and not just in appearance.

The pure fact that they aren't advertising such obvious user-benefiting feature corroborates my hypothesis that they only virtue-signal what they find milkable. Fundamentally, they are making iPhones more repairable a result of the US and the EU being on their asses with various legislation; it's a mere compliance. Advertising it would likely affect their AppleCare+ revenue, which is why I presume they simply didn't.

If they actually cared about being a better company for the sake of being a better company, they would absolutely point out that obvious benefit even at the risk of diminishing their future AppleCare+ revenue.

So, in short, those repairability improvements are mostly to comply and save their own expenses when fixing AppleCare-insured phones. Which is what I meant by it being mostly for the looks. They just know how to play their cards well.

> The property of NP-completeness didn't exist until we invented algorithms and analysed their time complexity [...]

Now that is a bolt statement to make with such certainty :)

Imagine it's 1822 and you're a salesmen, travelling from town to town to sell your wares. Of course you want to save on time and distance travelled, so you'd like to pick the shortes route that covers all towns on your list. Now how complicated can that be?

I'd dare to say the probem you're facing was already NP-complete back then, you just didn't know if you're too stupid (no, you're not!) or if it was in fact impossible without trying every possible route (yes).

In other words: When inventing a new predicate (e.g. is_np_complete) in non-temporal, binary logic, that predicate is always true or false (or undecided :)) for a given input. You essentially say that the predicate only exists once it has been created, but I say it has merely been given a name to reference it. I'd like to present a logical argument why I am right beyond a doubt, but this might be undecidable; at least I'm stuck thinking about it, much like the imaginative you from 1822 (my problem is that I don't know if it's possible to enumerate all possible predicates [that map each possible input to every possible output {true, false, undecidable}] - if it is I think I can make a sound argument). And very much like that fictive person should probably just start travelling on a good enough route, I should also get back to work ;)

Maybe you can come up with a formal proof why a predicate can only exist once it has been formalized for the first time?

If you walk in on a store that has security cameras in it and you accept to be filmed while you are in there, does that mean that I should be allowed and able to access you entire private photo and video gallery ?

What an absolutely twisted view.
I disagree. The problem is the tendency of companies to make use of free/open source software, to build on its functionality and to not contribute back.

If that was the case - if every company returned some of the profits they make by building their business on free/open source software - then the ecosystem would have enough resources to avoid such situations.

But capitalistic businesses will do the capitalism thing and instead take all the benefit while bearing none of the costs. And when something breaks they cry and feel entitled to remuneration.

That's why free/open source software and capitalism are incompatible; free/open source assums that everyone is that is able to is also willing to contribute. Capitalism assumes that it's fine to absorb all the from other's work.
Do you have a counter-argument?

Anything at all to show how right wing ideology is not literally and figuratively destroying the world?
There are special rules for a public companies. I do not see any reason why dominant platforms should not be prevented from terminating customer's accounts for anything that is legal. Alternatively we would have a society which democratic by name but where your life is controlled by few big corporations. Looks like we are heading there anyways.
"We" are not banning anything. PayPal does, and yes, it's most likely because of the positions held by this site. Refer to my earlier comment on why this is problematic. But yes, in this specific case, I agree with the ban because I believe the site to be part of a disinformation network.

Obviously, the positions held by the site are shared by a lot of people here, but that doesn't change my opinion of it. If you believe they are spreading worthwhile information on there, that's obviously your right and my beef is not with you - I think it should be possible to politically disagree with someone and still be able to go out and have a beer together. My beef is with sites like this which are causing harm on a societal scale.

We could eliminate food inspection and driver's licenses. That would increase liberty, but I don't think most people would find the freedom worthy of the cost.
I am sure that you are wrong. For example, imagine if Facebook would promote pro-Russian content and hide pro-Ukranian or pro-NATO content in the newsfeed. Perfectly legal, but how long they will be able to pull it? I don't think it will be more than 1 or 2 weeks.

So it is your server only as long as you ban outcasts like 8chan and don't cross paths with people in the power.

Don't make anyone think you have anything of value on you!

Also don't carry a light, easy to steal bag. The laptop goes into your suitcase.

As part of my routine when arriving at a hotel I study the fire exit map, maybe use the local vending machine, paying with coins from my pocket - gives me time to have the elevator all to myself.

I used to carry an emergency high-value banknote in my back pocket so that in case the worst happened I would at least have some money on me. The thieves that robbed me in the past never wasted time on full checkups.

Yes, I've noticed this crypto/traderbot spam campaign a few weeks ago, and it definitely comes from Gmail itself. It's nice to see that it also affects other Gmail users. Maybe Google will finally get their act together and stop all the Gmail spam. Right now, I get about 100 spam emails from Gmail each month, making it the biggest source of spam for me. If it wasn't that half of the world uses their services, I'd have blocked Google's mail servers a long time ago.

If your only method of communication is a blockchain, you can't know who owns which public key. To know that you would need to talk directly to that person and have them tell you "key such-and-such is mine". You still need that trusted channel. Since you can't know who controls the public key your messaging over the blockchain and they can't know the public key that's messaging them is controlled by you, an impersonation attack is trivial. Someone else can send that public key a message saying "hello, I am a1369209993, let's agree on a symmetric key".

So, no, a blockchain is not a trusted channel. For the purposes of communication, it offers no more security than the public Internet. It doesn't even guarantee delivery of messages.

> I completely get the argument, that free speech shall not be limited by anyone. But as a society we have to decide if free speech should also cover blatant lies and deliberate misinformation.

I hear this position a lot in relation to free speech and it's one I can't understand for the life of me. I guess I don't know what a blatant lie is, and further I know it's something I've been accused of many times in my life when attempting to speak the truth.

I have two questions for you:

* 1: If I say something that I genuinely believe, but is strongly contradicted by evidence that I may or may not be aware of do I have a right to say it?

* 2: If I say something that I believe is factually incorrect would I not have any right to say it?

Perhaps an example here would help. So something I've noticed is there are a lot of conspiracy theory websites which talk about an invisible man that can cure sick people. As far as I can tell this seems to be contradicted by the evidence and these people seem to be either blatantly lying or just completely ignorant of current scientific data. In some cases people who run these website are causing real world harm by convincing people that they shouldn't seek professional medical treatment for their illnesses because the invisible man will take care of them. My understanding is that in some cases conspiracy theorists are even refusing to get vaccinated because they believe the invisible man doesn't want them to get vaccinated.

I'm just wondering if you believe that websites dedicated to the invisible man conspiracy theory should be banned? And if so should those causing real world harm by lying about the invisible man be held to account for their actions?
If you want to get better at geometry a very good start is brilliant.org. They have five great geometry course that's good for learning concepts visually and has some basic exercises, but not enough for drilling.

When it comes to exercises, brilliant.org is lacking in volume. Khan Academy is a great supplement for geometry, single and multivariable calculus although brilliant.org goes a bit further than Khan Academy with Linear Algebra, Group Theory and more.

Khan Academy also has a linear algebra course, but I found it to be kinda crap with no exercises. For linear algebra it's better go with brilliant and 3blue1brown's linear algebra videos, then a good continuation would be Linear algebra done right by Sheldon Axler and also fast.ai's free online course Computational Linear Algebra for Coders.
