> "Because there's already thousands of times more wasted blades"

Nonsense. You need to consider that the entire plant ends up as waste when it's eventually decommissioned.

Wind turbine blades typically weigh a few tonnes each. Up to around 10 tonnes for the very largest ones. Meanwhile, building a new nuclear power plant (Hinkley Point C in the UK) takes 3 million tonnes of concrete and 230,000 tonnes of steel.

All the wind turbine blades in the entire world would only add up to the waste of one or two nuclear plants!

Setting aside issues about knowing where the data originates, such encrypted data is really really difficult to use if no-one is providing a way to link the possible calculations performed to observables. If all you have are encrypted inputs and outputs, it is unclear what is being modelled, for example.

I don't think FHE is primarily aimed at privacy use cases anyway, more at ways of cooperating etc. where transparency could be detrimental to some or all parties.
Cool idea. Looks like there’s a problem with the data though. The last cat 2 hurricane was Fiona, which has just petered out in the North Atlantic after ripping through my city five days ago.

He will certainly bank big and retire soon , this is not a long-term sustainable operation. I don't think he s pointing to any particular direction in entertainment. He's making a soft versions of a squid game, but after that, what?

It strikes me that he doesnt have competition in youtube currently, because nobody else (?) makes videos with somewhat substantial budgeting that feel like TV. So his videos get all the attention among the various podcast/travel/other kinds of slow-paced, monothematic videos. BUT he might start a trend here of big budget youtube productions. This will depend on his margins, but I m not sure that the relatively small payout of youtube will allow such trend
From what I understand it's not so much a "disadvantaged" problem as it is a time-sharing problem. There are a lot of demands on these and the wait list to perform calculations on these machines starts long before the machines are built.

If you're a researcher waiting on your turn to come up and it gets pushed out four years... and you still don't have an actual end in sight... Well a lot of those grants do expire and you may no longer be able to pay for the compute at all...
This feels more like a press release than an actually insightful article.

Would practical FHE be interesting? Sure. Is it happening? Doesn't seem like it is any time soon.

It's funny to read about all the web app usage of JWT, and here I am dealing with it server side.

For those unaware, JWT has the 2 ways of encoding it: JWS and JWE. Because of these properties, you can use it how people would use it for application level messaging. If you are already on a secure channel, you can sign or encrypt the message so application level checks can happen.

This makes it act like a replacement of PGP for you paranoid people out there.

(Btw, I recommend against this, and think people should use PGP or Tink, as it's easy to footgun yourself with JWS.)
Gilt yields. Truss' government will need to borrow lots of money since it intends to "grow" the economy by just giving the wealthy more money [a plan the market knows doesn't work]. This is done by auctioning bonds, which then trade on a secondary market. The UK's government bonds were once all issued as physical objects literally gilded with metal edges, hence "gilts".

In effect what is on offer in these auctions is a government promise to pay a certain amount of money at a set time in the future. Bidders say how much money they will pay now for that promise. For example maybe the government wants to pay £105 in 2050, and the auction just settled at £86 and I was a bidder, I pay £86 now, and I get a promise to pay £105 in 2050. The governments gets £86 now which it can spend, but needs to find £105 to pay me in 2050 (Hint: It will just issue more gilts).

Gilts are a bit more complicated because they have index linking and there's a whole coupon mechanism so you get a little bit of the money back periodically, but this gets the basic idea across.

The exchange rate stuff has a more immediate impact because it causes import prices to jump, but the gilt problem is actually what means you shouldn't ever do this. It's like using credit card debt to finance a fun ski holiday versus to buy a car so you can drive to work. One of these things is reasonable, albeit not ideal, the other is just throwing away money. Unfortunately it isn't Liz's money, it's the nation's money, increasingly it's the money of those least able to afford it.
No, those made perverse sense. The US was desperate to be seen doing something, anything for the sake of retribution in the wake of 9/11, it would have fabricated an excuse to invade so-and-so country regardless of Cheney's graft. The financial motivation was a convenient byproduct of the geopolitical motivation. But in this case, the financial motivation would be in direct opposition to the geopolitical motivation.
I tend to agree with your logic but a lot of people think they know what rates will be like and what a home will be worth and any number of things in 2 to 3 years. I'd say that they everyone is always gonna pay more then they want and only question is if it's going to the seller or the bank.

My dad gave me these rules for home buying:

* can I make the monthly payment for as long as I own the home?

* don't buy unless you expect not to sell for 5 years

* put down at least 10%

* don't get an ARM

> Describe to me, in concrete terms, ideally using the names of the politicians you think might be involved, the voting demographics, the years and values, etc, how you think the US is going to make a start on paying down its debts in real terms.

The US will continue to carry a debt load. With inflation and a sub-3% borrowing rate, it's essentially free money - we pay $400B a year in interest to access $30T. Again, we've done this for hundreds of years; it's not gonna suddenly stop being a functional bit of monetary policy.

By the end of my loan, my mortgage payments will be worth a lot less in real money, too - $1k ten years ago and $1k twenty years from now aren't the same. Creditors price this in from the beginning, whether it's my mortgage or a trillion dollars in US government bonds.

> pretend there is a meaningful difference between not paying off all the debt and defaulting on debt

This is just a silly statement. I don't think we can have a rational conversation about monetary policy if you think that.
A Reflection on the Small Web
1. You can convert volatile crypto to stablecoins like USDC that will keep their value

Yes, but don't you need a CoinBase account to buy and hold USDC? This is really just another bank account.

2. --- using a crypto ATM to reiceve cash directly.

There are only 1400 Bitcoin ATMs worldwide. Most have transaction limits and high fees. The ones near me charge 8-15% and you have to *register* a phone app (there goes your privacy) to use them. You have to really hate banks to pay that much.

3. --- Wouldn't it be better to get the a stable cryptocoin?

Not if you need to buy something --- like food or rent or cellphone service.

Bottom line: Crypto is for speculation. It's penetration in the actual currency market is near zero which limits it's real world utility to a similar level.

> To hypothetically say, well, sure it's unkind and disrespectful and an assault on their dignity, but it's not unethical to do to make a buck or a laugh -- what is the point of "ethics", then, exactly?

But is it unkind? You're giving them a benefit (+$) and taking a cost (-dignity), and they've calculated that $ > dignity. Assuming their calculation was accurate, aren't you actually being kind? You are increasing their utility.

> I also don't in fact think that people can be divided, in binary fashion, into those who are "rational" and "not rational".

Yes, there isn't a clear dividing line between those who are capable of rationally calculating what's in their true best interest, and those who aren't. A dose of pragmatism is obviously needed. Homeless people are statistically much more likely to suffer from a mental illness which erodes their ability to rationally calculate costs and benefits more than others.

> It shows that it does not depend on state of the enclosing object.

Fine, but that's not relevant to the subject of this document, the "first program", as it would make all fields static, too, and so methods would still be dependent on state. It will just make moving to the next step harder; as the article says: this is probably not the direction we want to go when we scale up from a handful of statements and declarations to a simple class — we probably want to start using classes as classes, not just as containers for static members.

Your history is incorrect.

Universal Studios sued Sony over BetaMax not because it was worried about skipping commercials, it wanted to be able to sell movies instead of people being able to record it.

The first lawsuit about programmatically being able to skip commercials which is more akin to the crowdsourced YouTube skipping creator embedded sponsorship was in 2001 when 28 studios sued ReplayTV out of existence.

mmm, it's a bit more crude than just sign a deal with Russia and just go and make happen not one, but two Nordstreams, not precisely backstabbing those two, but you see the point: Everyone out there is at end looking for themselves.

Hence, there's no guarantee whatsoever than if EU begins to crunch under the winter, it wouln't just call it a day and request please open ND 1 + 2, we just need to refill reserves, then little more, and then they're back to full operational status.

So, it could weaken NATO just if it can be fully demonstrated, no doubt at all, that it was them. If you can't, it is just twitter and inet noise, nobody can base politics over rumors.

I said in another comment, this is war - kinetic, hybrid, cyber -, quite a difference with the usual geopolitical game. Some stuff you just can bet, you need to be sure.

At the end, if Germany or EU as whole steps back from its current status (re-opening ND1+2, or other actions), it could equally desastrous from NATO. Now you have no good choices, just bads ones and worst ones.

NZ is a powerless, tiny country with fewer people than any one of the biggest 20 US states.

After those, India is a close third in terms of authoritarian policies applied to large numbers of people.

Greenwald continues his descent into crackpot contrarianism by criticizing Zelenskyy, Biden, and now even Ardern far more than Putin, Xi, or Modi.

True. It's much better than it was 5-10 years ago, but there's still much more to be done. Some councils are better than others.

Obviously most London roads can't be "expanded", but even reallocating a few parking spaces can often create a lot of space for cyclists and pedestrians.
Well, I'll go ahead and say the Verge's auto editor is wrong on this one. A car is a mechanical device with lots of moving parts which aren't programmable. It's also a safety cage for people and regulatory nightmare for compliance with every jurisdiction's safety requirements, neither of which Apple is prepared for. Finally, cars require a sales and support network which Apple won't be able to build. It's more accurate to think of cars as boxes with wheels. The computer being in charge of throttle, brake, and speed has been a factor for a long time -- before Apple got involved -- and doesn't make Apple a car company.

Yup, the regulations in place with todays technology create some interesting incentives.
If you work at a bank:
* all phone calls & voicemails are recorded 7+ years (if you've worked at one long enough you know the distinct background noise/beep the recorded lines make)
* all emails are kept 7+ years
* all chat logs (slack/teams/etc) are saved 7+ years

Emails & chats are easier to NLP/search/flag. Drop an f-bomb, or use a word like "scam" in chat casually ("that f-bomb dinner last night was a rip-off, what a scam!") is 100% going to get auto-flagged and reviewed by compliance and/or your boss. Saying that verbally on the phone is not, because the tech isn't there to transcribe and auto-flag calls.

Recorded calls are more kept in evidence to produce in the event of an investigation triggered by something else. So a lot of senior people end up nudging conversations to the phone. They don't plan to do any crimes, and they certainly don't plan to get caught.

The next level is that for a lot of senior people, they operate almost entirely in the in-person verbal realm. There are no rules requiring any recording or record keeping of verbal discussions/meetings/etc, and implementing them would be hard if there were.

This is why in big cases, its always some low level guy or middle manager who goes down for the "crime", because they are the most senior person involved in the activity to actually commit any of it to writing. 1000% his boss, and his bosses boss were aware / in on it / even ordering the activity to happen.. they just never put that down anywhere..

Examples of this are the LIBOR "London Whale" scandal, some of the "rogue traders" like at SocGen, "Fabulous Fab", and many more.

I bet at most banks once you hit the MD level, the vast majority of outgoing emails you would see going out are simple one-word "yes/no/approved" or variations of "lets discuss offline / call me / lets meet about this". And 0.0% of them use any chat apps at work.

WhatsApp is a thorny issue because most places stopped giving out work devices but make you download all the work apps. You develop personal friendships with coworkers and feel that out-of-hours non-work chat should happen in places like WhatsApp. Sometimes innocently out of laziness, some people end up commingling a bit. A minority of cases you'll have guys actually using private apps to evade monitoring. No one wants their personal messaging off their personal devices being recorded by their workplace. Maybe the right outcome here is mandatory personal & work device segregation, companies issue "work phones" and thats the end of it.

When I think of how the java streams API is used, it generates lots of garbage (i.e. lots of intermediary allocs), doesn't always make things clearer.. i'm genuinely curious (and in fact i like the streams API, it's just often misused by collecting at the wrong step..).

I agree that treating production vs non-production as a dichotomy can be problematic, but that doesn't mean some systems aren't more sensitive than others.

Also security is not one dimensional. A system's required level of confidentiality might be very different from its required level of availability. Being explicit about this might be better than trying to lump different requirements into a "production" label.

I don't care if the USA has collectively decided that murdering someone with your vehicle is fine: even if small cars and bicycles don't always behave safely around you, you should drive slower or give more distance to avoid murdering people since you chose to drive a huge vehicle.
