I’m not gonna bet any money on this and I discourage anyone from doing so. Willingness to bet proves nothing about a merit of a prediction, and only loosely about ones faith in it.

10 years is a long time, and a lot can happen in that time. In 2017 there was an administration in the White House that was quite hostile to public infrastructure projects and withheld all the federal funding the previous administration had promised. For all we know there will be another administration like that in 2 or 6 years which does the same (or even more) to sabotage the project.

In 2018 a new CEO took over the project and took a hard policy against over promising. This is when we saw the initial operating segment being scaled back to only include Bakerfield to Merced by the end of this decade. Since then we’ve actually seen a lot truer projections which have come true. For example Construction Package 4 is almost complete and pretty much on time and on budget.

Hey Mozilla! I would really, really, love a similar add-on that can summarize web pages for me.

OP also glossed over the important distinction between opt-in static types (TS, Python etc) and opt-in lack of them ("dynamic" in C#). When talking about what's permitted, these are functionally the same, but the difference has an immense effect on the actual idiomatic use.

I would argue that something like "dynamic" is preferable in a sense that it gives you an escape hatch with minimal syntactic overhead for those cases where dynamicity is really that beneficial, yet defaults to a safer option that's usually the best choice.
> I'm personally not a fan of such a situation but it's a reasonable one in today's world.

Not a fan even in today's world. Example:

The house next to mine sold for $300k 2y ago. Those owners put about $50k into renovations and sold 1y later for $450k. The current owner did nothing (didn't even mow the lawn!) and 6m later decided to pack up and move across country for a job. He put the house on the market for $650k. It's beyond insulting. That house is going to sit on the market for a long time unless he is willing to make no money or even lose money on the overall transaction.

China's surveillance state power amidst the protest
Thank you for engaging, and I hope that my previous comment wasn't too harsh. I get rather frustrated at the "matter of opinion" statement being used as if it were a conclusion, rather than being used to guide discussions.

Regarding the gasoline/automobile being "obviously two distinct markets" and computing software/hardware being "not obviously distinct", I'd say that's a description of how the markets current are, and not a argument for how they ought to be. I intentionally selected an analogy where two complementary good (gasoline/automobiles) are treated as separate markets, to state that goods being complementary, just as computing hardware/software are complementary, does not mean that they are the same market.

> Consider if 50%+ of people moving from horse and buggy to automobiles picked Ford

Looking it up, Ford did have 56% of US automobile market share in 1920 [0]. Not really relevant to either of our arguments, but was interesting to find.

> and in order to support this new market creation Ford had to invest billions to create gas stations all over the country.

I tried to find history of gas stations, to see what historic parallels could be drawn, but it looks like gasoline was either sold at general stores or hardware stores, with dedicated gas stations being either owned independently or by oil companies, and were started in response to the rise in automobile ownership [1]. That is, the existing infrastructure was used for the automobile.

I'd say this is a pretty good parallel for Apple's App Store. The existing infrastructure for software deployment, the internet, was and is the primary method by which software is distributed to iOS. This infrastructure predates Apple, and is a far larger part of the software deployment. Apple's primary role is not one of enabling software deployment (i.e. enabling deployment where it would otherwise be impossible), but one of restricting software deployment (i.e. preventing software deployment where it would otherwise be possible). That strikes me as entirely undeserving of an extra cut of payments.

Another potential analogy would be in vehicle repairs. Your manufacturer warranty is valid, even if the car is serviced by a mechanic not employed by the manufacturer. This required legal battles to resolve, and established that even closely tied markets such as car sales and car repairs should be considered as separate markets.

Sounds like his employer could have handled it better but I had to deal with this recently (someone close experiencing psychosis) and at the end of the day, it's about family members stepping up. The buck stops with them. If they won't take responsibility, there's not a lot you can do.

I think it's probably wrong to blame youtubers or disinformation. Pyschotics are going to find something to latch onto with or without internet access. If it's not covid, it's the Jews, or the government following them, or talking to God, and any of those things is enough to torpedo your career and relationships.
I don’t see it that way. A lot of folks paid down debt with that money. Some paid rent because they couldn’t work b/c of COVID.
My understanding is that veterinary care has pretty much been taken over by private equity in the last 10 years or so. They saw that it wasn't experiencing the same amount of inflation as other health care fields, they considered that to be an exploitable bug in the marketplace, and they've been investing accordingly.

So it may not be the best basis for illustrating your larger point.

I might be wrong, but I feel that if you're aiming to make money with this, you have three markets:

1. People who just want to put their own stuff on the internet, potentially/hopefully anonymously, but are not making any money from it. In this case it might be better to have free pages with ads (and write a small script that would try to catch phishing/spam — in my experience, the words "PDF" and "Microsoft Office" have been catching 95% so far).

2. People who actually use it for their business needs (one-page portfolios, business proposals, inventory lists, whatever) — then you need custom domains and possibly accounts but I dunno.

3. People who are doing dangerous things. This applies to drug dealers as much as it does to political dissidents. Then you probably need cryptocurrency payments.

Regardless of what you do, I suggest you create some kind of a public discussion forum (FB group, Discord server) for this project. You can do it right now, and you'll likely learn a lot about what your users want and how they are actually using your product.

At any rate, best of luck. I think it's a good idea and I'd like to have more projects in this space (as someone who wants to start new projects all the time and hates small obstacles).
You of course don't have to have a test. Not proposing one simply opens the position to a criticism of vagueness. This is compounded by the fact that this position seeks to empower authority. A vague limit is one of the strongest criticisms for a proposal to empower authority, particularly in a system that relies on checked power. There is a reason that our legal system relies on tests that are maximally well-specified.
> It might come as a surprise, ...

Please don't condescend.

> Yes it's "free" to make a digital copy, but that ignores the cost of producing content.

I am not ignoring the cost, I am simply not respecting it.
They are trying to run a business; the costs of doing so are their problem.
If they cannot capture revenue to offset the mentioned costs, then they do not have a viable business.
Currently, copyright law is required for the revenue to be captured, thus the business is not viable.

It is unfortunate, but I don't see how I am mistaken (I can understand disagreement that copyright law is broken, but it would be disagreement).
People use dynamic typing less and less, though. JavaScript and Python are the two most prominent dynamically typed languages in the industry, and what do we have there? Most JS developers love TypeScript, and Python bolted on type annotations in the core language (and libraries are generally following suit).

With that in mind, your other claims like the 1:3 ratio really need very solid sources to be taken seriously.
I suppose we may disagree on the idea that America or Germany or the UK has an obligation to help China maintain the rule of law.
They mention volt2pwn, but kind of gloss over it. It is probably a variant of clkscrew for intel:

https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity17/technical...

IMO, this is the most damning of the attacks. It uses voltage and CPU frequency overrides to flip a bit a the right time during an AES operation, leaking the AES key.

Although clkscrew was remotely exploitable (!!!) via malicious android apps, I don't see a path forward to mitigate these issues, especially when physical attacks are feasible.

IBM had a piece of AES key management hardware that would wipe keys if it changed temperature, saw voltage fluctuations, etc. It was also dipped in layers of epoxy surrounded by grounded wire mesh (with secret signals, etc for the layers) so it could kill itself if cut into (or before a low temperature bath would freeze the transistors), and also to act as a Faraday cage (to keep stuff in and out).

Good luck walking down this path with cell phones or power-slurping commodity cloud hardware! Even with all that, an attacker could likely irradiate it until the right bits flipped.
> Over the relatively short period of DCA, it will trend upwards.

But this is an assumption!

> If you're saying you know that the rising trend won't begin until a future date, then that's an assumption you're adding

I'm saying I have no idea what's going to happen during the DCA period.

I think at this point its safe to say your view that DCA doesn't work to denoise a signal is predicated on assumptions about what the price trend is doing over the DCA timescale. If the stock is trending up over that period, then you're likely better off buying now regardless of local fluctuation. OK!

It's like user agent strings. Developers didn't fix their user agents, so other browsers just lied about what they were so the website would run properly. Only now they were stuck with the lie as long as devs depended on the user agent string for stuff leading to abominations like this one from Chrome on Android where it basically claims to be every single browser out there.

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 12; Pixel 6 Build/SD1A.210817.023; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/94.0.4606.71 Mobile Safari/537.36

Devs were NOT supposed to use prefixes in production, but they did anyway (best viewed in Chrome). Unfortunately they then proceeded to NEVER UPDATE these as other browsers added support. Non-webkit browsers had the choice of interpreting the CSS or leaving their users with a broken experience.

Major browsers moved away from vendor prefixes between 2012 and 2016 (when webkit finally stopped), but it was too late. Browsers 50 years from now will still be supporting this garbage because of what devs did.

The key takeaway: Never give devs a tool you don't want to be stuck with forever. Also, can we please not do this yet again in the future?
My experience with occasional use over the past four months or so is that newspapers, business documents, and other formal documents often appear to have essentially perfect translation, at least in terms of sounding plausable without understanding the language translated. For more casual stuff like twitter posts or song lyrics it makes plenty of obvious errors, although of course some of that stuff makes little sense as written. It seems to have different issues than Google Translate, although not much if any worse overall from my limited experience.

It sounds like after Bergamot funding ended there were some communication issues and the Translate Locally group that was working with the Firefox Translate group stopped working together and now have their own extension, as mentioned in another comment:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33795141

That one can be installed outside the browser and would likely give better performance, although I haven't tried that yet.

The other interesting open source translation software I've seen is Apertium:

https://github.com/apertium

I don't think they have a browser extension unfortunately but it is an entirely rule based translation rather than AI models. I haven't tried this one yet either but hope to soon. I did try their web interface a few times:

100%, not disagreeing. But it does reduce the risk that you're buying at an outlier price.

> Can I see the source code?

> Sure! Bulwark Passkey is built on top of an open source core called Virtual FIDO, which contains the USB emulation and FIDO protocol code, as well as the credential encryption and formatting. You can view the safety critical parts of the code, as well as easily decrypt and transfer your credentials out of the system.

So... it... isn't? It sounds like it isn't.

Like, maybe I'm just paranoid at this point, but regardless of how exciting this is in concept, I'm not too keen on using an (unaudited) virtual replacement for a hardware security token when I can neither audit the app I'm actually running, nor (preferably) build it from source; More generally, how would I even tell that the library in use by the app as-built is the same as the source on github?

You probably would have never bought the subscription for a single movie anyways regardless of the ability to download it elsewhere. Netflix has an all-you-can-eat buffet model, casual watchers are incentivized to not use the platform because it's not cost effective.

In the economic pricing models, free is counted separately as any other kind of pricing.

This debate has been settled for more than a decade, major copyright holder conglomerates have tried their best and poured a lot of money to try to demonstrate losses and they have failed.
> You might think one protest was more justified than another, but the differential in response works to dissolve confidence in the fair application of the law.

in 2018, the capitol was open to the public, no one broke in. 78 were arrested in the Capitol on Oct 5, 2018 and charged with Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding [1].

in 2022, the Capitol was closed to the public and people broke in. 12 people were arrested on Jan 6, 2021 and charged with Unlawful Entry or Assaulting a Police Officer [2].

Assaulting a Police Office is a felony; Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding is a misdemeanor. Seems there was a differential in severity of breaking the law as well.

Yes you can download the trained model and run it on your machine. The article has a link to a hugging face model when you can play with in the web browser as a toy example and then download it locally and use with code.
In all the countries in which I've worked at universities (the USA, Australia, and the UK), governments have introduced vastly more formal accountability requirements over time. (The article mentions the Presidential Task Force on Inclusion and Belonging: I'm thinking of both that sort of thing and also a lot of recurring accountability requirements.)

Accountability is expensive.

Personally, I don't think it's good value for money, but maybe I'm wrong. Either way, it's very much caused by governments and (IMO) only to a much lesser extent by universities themselves.
No they're not. There are about 100 properties there under $100k, maybe the cheapest few don't have foundations (not clear.)
Timezones and language barriers eat into the profits fast.

What’s with the idea though that 300 million people can just be ignored? Me thinks you’ve let yourself get lost in the economic philosophy and detached from reality.

There is no just shutting down the US economy because economists can’t make fiat currency math work. Such ideas are ludicrous.
