In practice there aren’t any “untrusted collaborative networks” except cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. You either fully trust all the nodes in the network (because you own them all), as in large distributed systems used by Google, Facebook, etc, etc, or you have some way of _verifying_ submitted results. Verification needs to be cheap, easy, and accurate. In Bitcoin every node in the network verifies that each transaction obeys the rules of the ledger (the transaction signatures are cryptographically verified, but also it checks for double–spending and so on). Any transaction that fails verification is simply dropped. Since verification is far easier than mining a new block, this keeps malicious blocks out of the ledger.

Homeomorphic encryption is the middle ground. Solutions still need to be verified, but because only you can understand the encrypted tasks, it is in principle impossible for the other participants to cheat. In practice I think it is still entirely an academic exercise; I don’t think anyone actually uses homeomorphic encryption for anything real.

It is not clear what the role of the RRAM is. I get that it applies weights, but where do the weights come from? Is this a system that you train with lots of known stimulus and location samples? And having trained one, you can read it out and program those weights into another?

> statistical methods DO NOT function on adversaries.

I think this is the essence of your argument. This can be defeated with counter-example. Test cheaters are adversarial to any detection of their cheating, yet statistical analysis can expose the cheater without much issue.

I don’t care that they’re wrong, I care that this miscategorization helped the issue reach “the public” and rightly caused some finger pointing and users switching away from Chrome.

That’s a good thing. Sensationalism works and we all want content blocking to be as effective as possible. While “it still works”, it’s not as good or as efficient as the MV2 version.
You have prove your identity to get a phone service. Drivers license is one way of doing that.

Very nice.

Our home has a rotary phone in most of the rooms (they're cheap on ebay and easy to repair if they're not working). Each one is plugged into a Grandstream HT802, which gets it onto our home network. A raspberry pi runs FusionPBX, which gives each phone a number, and lets them all dial each other. The kids love it!
I'm slightly irritated at how many people have no problem with the salaries of every public employee in the state being public information, from groundskeepers to teachers, to head coaches, yet want to keep their own pay private. Many of us have lived with our salaries being public information for years. It's fine, it's not a big deal. In my experience, it does increase equality in compensation, and that's a good thing.

So, here's the hidden secret to Google: every inexplicably stupid move they've ever done can be described in terms of promo packets.

Every duplicate messaging app? That's someone's promo packet item.

Every ground-up incompatible API rewrite? Also a promo packet.

Google produces new work purely to satisfy itself. Their hierarchy forms its own internal economy where promotions are purchased with headline-grabbing actions that fool managers into thinking they provide business value. We'll call this "Googlestan".

Yes, this occasionally causes problems in the external, "real" economy. Writing message apps as disposable products means you don't have an answer to iMessage or Whatsapp. Breaking APIs every 3 months makes Google Cloud a nonstarter for anything other than easily-migrated guest OSes with a more sensible deprecation policy.

But that's how Google was built, and how Google will continue to be built, because all hierarchies have a rule zero: self-preserve. You cannot build a new Google without disenfranchising the people who currently know how to game the current Google, and those people will instinctively fight against an engineering culture they do not understand.

The only exceptions to this are the core economic vehicles between Googlestan and the outside world: Search, Chrome, and Android. Note how each one of these products have a dramatically more conservative roadmap, with a reasonably minimized number of breaking changes. Hell, Chrome specifically calls breaking changes "interventions", because they're that serious about not making them. These products form a moat around Googlestan that protects the country from invaders, so they themselves are isolated from the kinds of people who would gank them for the sake of a promo packet.

[0] If you're wondering, "how does Google internally handle breaking changes everywhere without boiling the ocean"... the answer is that they have an automated ocean-boiling machine that lets them rewrite the entire Google code corpus whenever an API breaks.
That's interesting. Per the explanation on the FCC page, it's so all numbers that start with 988 go to the 988 line. I guess they want to catch misdials by callers who need the service, but are only able to catch one class of misdial (extraneous trailing digits) without requiring thousands of people to change their numbers. There were obviously some hard conversations behind that choice.
Verification of Identity. That's what these documents are used for. It's also why they're so dangerous.

Actual liability for data breaches? Color me impressed.

When the data companies want on you becomes a liability in case of data breaches, one of 2 things will happen:

1. They'll drastically improve their security

2. They'll stop asking for a lot of data just because they think they might use it later or because they want to sell it to others.
Guaranteed there’s going to be an SNL skit about this one.
That has nothing to do with the runtime, rather with the implementation. Barrier to entry of web development is low so average quality is also low. On the opposite side of the spectrum you have products like Figma, Notion, Google apps etc.

The Roku app allows you to fill passwords via your phone and use the phone as a remote for your Roku. I can also use Roku's private listening feature to redirect its audio to my phone allowing me to listen using the headphones connected to my phone. Roku also has a remote available with a wired headphone jack which automatically redirects the audio to it when headphones are connected to the jack.

Are you including all benefits in that disclosure?

Because that component is usually the highest of any public employee, and thats not usually disclosed. In fact, its by far the hardest to approximate by head.

Defined benefit plans, platinum insurance plans, retirement pensions, vacations, loan forgiveness.

All that comp is anything but transparent.
Isn’t that just so utterly expected that it shouldn’t surprise anyone? It is better to find a quality dumb TV, IMO.

McDonalds went from 400k employees in 2010 to 200k employees just a few years later.
Ok I feel like I can give some good advice here. I wrote 4 Django apps over the last few years some for work and some during vacation/downtime (and sold a couple). One was a car reservation system with reminder emails. The others were covid screening, warehouse management and a car key replacement service.

They all were multi-tenant and had the concept of an admin login and a user login. Basically I had organizations and each org can have admins and users. Each user had a profile with a role/organization_id which determined what UI they were served.

I used Django apps this way:

* core-app - models and common services
* admin-app - admin ui and admin services
* user-app - user ui and user services

Of course you could code up the admin and user projects separately for maximum decoupling but you'd want your common core app to be a dependency for each.

Messages (Email and SMS) to be sent were dropped on a queue and processed by workers.
Each message was self contained and basically was the type of email to send, a map of data and a pointer to the template. I think in the later version I skipped the worker and called a lambda on the message appearing (this was AWS)

Reminders in the future were just put in the db and then a cron job grabbed them when it was time to send. For instance, the time to remind someone that their car reservation was about to expire was configurable by the admin - so you could say 24 hrs before or less depending on the dealer's policy. Anyway you get the picture.

UI was all simple with a bootstrap based admin template that was mobile friendly and mostly web 1.0. I did add some fanciness with intercooler or later htmx. I also used a js grid extensively for reports.

I can't share the code with you (sold it or was for employer) but I can certainly share some poc code on other projects as well as the general approach. My email is in my profile and I am happy to talk you through it and login and show you the some of the systems that I still do enhancements for.

The main point is Django was rock solid and super productive. Deploying was the only hassle and since I know AWS pretty well that's what I went with.

I do know there are products that you can purchase that have a lot of stuff already setup. I haven't used them but this one seems to come up a lot - https://www.saaspegasus.com/
How to Enable More Multi-Touch Gestures in Ubuntu 22.04 Gnome 42
This would be much more interesting if they had to quantify it.

When Amazon sold the "ad-supported" Kindle, with a corresponding full-price unit, it made a pretty direct statement of the lifetime value they expected out of advertising.

I suspect both consumers and investors would be fascinated to know how much value the manufacturer expects to get out of these post-sale bleeds. Would their investors be comfortable with a firm that's willing to compromise their brand equity on halo-tier products to extract an expected $35 lifetime ad revenue on a $3000 set?

In some instances I'm sure they had a couple beers and then had somebody tell oral histories and legends, and maybe made up some of their own. Probably they said "What?

Python programming is simple because I the programmer have to do less stuff. But also, to a really really crude approximation, some asm that does less stuff is both simpler, and faster, than some asm that does more stuff (depends on what it is I'm doing in particular, but, it's a decent rule of thumb).

But there is a disconnect between Python programming simplicity and Python speed, which stems from the fact that under the hood Python is doing much more than its minimal asm 'spiritual equivalent'.

But in a pure abstract theory sense, it shouldn't "need" to. I don't really care about the intricacies of garbage collection or global interpreter lock or page misses etc - what if I just care about "can I make this nice idea into reality in 10 minutes". The reality is that I'm just barely working with the tip of an iceberg composed of 60+ years of computer abstractions. But who can blame me - I am but a mere mortal.

If we could have a programming language that is both simple for the programmer and simple for the computer, it would be great. It's not that unreasonable that people start from the user experience side - making a simple language faster, by getting rid of unnecessary work - rather than the opposite extreme: making it simpler to come up with optimal machine code whose simplicity withstand contact with hundreds of vestigial appendages that just have to be dealt w bc of computer history (spanning from how to do a syscall to how to make a gui in some particular os)

This is fantastic. I build retro PCs and I'm converting one from a 5200 RPM disk to an SSD next week when my adapter arrives. One of the things I'll miss for sure is hearing the disk spin up and access while I work.

Since 2014, all of Blumhouse's movies are owned, distributed, and co-produced by Universal Studios. Well, except for their BH Tilt division, which is partnered with Neon for co-production and distribution. Their most notable low-budget film that kickstarted their rise was Paranormal Activity, which was straight up acquired by Paramount Pictures for an actual theatrical release.

Blumhouse wouldn't be where they are without the juggernaut's purposefully propping them up.
<< Why would Google ever commit to keep ad blockers working. It makes no sense.

We are the end users of this software and, while clearly a minority, we do expect things to work. If a useful feature is being neutered, it is considered bad for the users. Thankfully, Google is not, yet, in a position where it can just force its adoption. Thankfully, there are still other options ( including some recent moves creation of non-G and non-F browser; and interesting variants of Chrome ).

Those vocal end users ( and that includes me ) want things in one specific way. For two different reasons:

1. I recently was forced to browse net without adblockers and it was a horrid experience. I pity the poor souls that live without them.
2. I still basically do everything tech related around the house. If Google starts being annoying, I will drop it like a hot potato. Thankfully, I am not longer local tech guy for my extended family.

In other words, it still makes sense for Google to appease the people, who do the work of converting and then supporting their software, because people sure don't call Google, when it raining ads.

By the by, didn't we go through the exact period with infinite pop-up ads and agreed that it was a really bad idea? Why would anyone think users want it back?
You're right, but when the numbers are so lopsided on the US' favour, there's no way in hell that cost of living can account for such a stark difference.

This is fun but I think it is missing the head movements. This only makes a click noise when there is an hard disk read which is not always the case for hard disks. Head movement creates different noises.
I've been using an Elipsa for about a year with a Renaisser stylus - have not noticed any inaccuracy but the writing can sometimes be laggy. I really like it, all in all though - all of my work notes tend to be on it.
> They're apparently trying to completely get rid of the concept of files altogether

I’ve never followed Android very closely but iOS began with no user-facing notion of files and added one many years and major releases later. Granted they’re not Unix everything-is-a-file, as in you can’t execute them or do all sorts of other everything-is-a-file operations with them. But adding mostly-general file functionality is definitely not trying to get rid of the concept.
Good tips - thanks!

Yeah, the only device with a "passthrough" is the TV itself, via ARC. If I had a 4k capable receiver instead of the sound bar, then it could act as the hub and output everything to the TV.

Previously I did have a receiver, and no Nvidia Shield device. The TV has Android TV built in to it, so I still relied on ARC most of the time. The TV's built in functionality got too buggy (borked video, audio dropouts during loud scenes) and slow to use day to day, so I added the Shield. My receiver didn't support 4k, though, so I plugged straight into the TV and used ARC still. I since replaced the receiver and all the mid-size speakers with a 5.1 wireless soundbar to free up shelf space in that room. Since I know you're curious, the receiver got paired with a 1080p plasma TV in a guest house where it can retire with dignity, and the speakers got moved to a bedroom, connected to a pre-HDMI receiver and a cheap Bluetooth dongle.

There's some trivial truth to it, of course, but specific assertions are laughably false and more complicated than you are claiming.
