Watch the movie Dominion if you’re interested in having your eyes opened as to just how cruel and gruesome factory farming is. Whatever you think is going on, it’s almost certainly orders of magnitude worse than you can imagine. The sheer scale of it boggles the mind.
A public key signature works by encrypting the hash with the private key, to verify you decrypt the hash with the pubic key and check it against your own hash of the payload.

Edit: No argument with your second point, just pointing out the mechanism does involve the signature being an encrypted form of a plaintext hash/message digest.
Yesterdays news was that this result was leaked to the FT with apparently preliminary numbers. And today there was a press conference that had somewhat better looking numbers.

I would believe it if the signature came from one of Satoshi's addresses, but this is not it.
If this happens how will the 15-30% Apple tax work? It seems excessive to me but what is the likely outcome here, a reduction in costs maybe or some crippling of Apps in external stores?
Thanks for sharing that important context and perspective.

Not exactly what You ask, but, Erlang is based on Prolog syntax, though lacks many features, and different paradigm.

And yes, I've used in one of my projects, packages written on Erlang.

Project was, to create LoraWan IoT network in Kiev (Ukraine).
Erlang parts where RabbitMQ, and I considered it for payment processing web server.

Unfortunately, finances ended, when just one node started.
Unfortunately the only thing to motivate most people is greed. I am aware of the legacy, but the way to sell this is by highlighting the profit that can come out of it. And fortunately there is nothing to kill on mars in the process. It’s a win win.

No it's not, the total amount of forest in the USA is increasing.
Huh? Yes it is -- that's what insulation sheathing is for, a layer in between the wood and the exterior. They're the gigantic pink foam panels you see covering buildings under construction.

Balloon framing is extremely thermally efficient, which is why it's used in places like the northeast US which have freezing winters!
No, that particular message could be created by anyone (including people who are not Paul le Roux), who has the key to the 1Q2 address, at any time, past or present.

All we have to go on right now is that someone knows the private key that corresponds to the 1Q2 address and used it sometime before the last hour to generate a hash of a message that says that Paul le Roux sent bitcoin to Hal Finney.
Your Ford comes with a particular operating system and performance parameters. If you want to run something else, you have to jump through a few hoops to change that. Those hoops might be more or less difficult to clear than jailbreaking iOS, but the option/requirement is there in both cases.

Everything intelligent comes with a set of software. You can replace that software (on almost everything?), but then it's up to you to maintain the setup how you like. That's not unique to iOS.
Yes but you'll probably survive a house fire.
It could also be that Hal Finney lied about who it was, or was deceived about who it was. I find those to be plausible as well.
Also, my question means: How did he figure out how to decrypt that hash into the plain text message?
Is energy on the order of 300MJ so cheap? You’d think that cutting it down to 150MJ would allow them to do more experiments.
Would that help in cases like these? It’s been several days since it was first posted.
The original price of .com, .org, .net, etc was $50/year, then $35, then network solutions lost its monopoly and today you still pay less..

Of course the other issue is the future popularity is unknown. I think a lot of the first wave of new TLDs are not so hot today, but maybe they aren't lowering their prices if their last cash is from domain renewals of those reluctant to move on.
However, I couldn't find this signature:

HM7vpPSUbNsfDHRX6gv8xxWcVNHEc/3pOk0YrVehaGoUdbWizznfzOdELkLd1EjSXsW1oE5vHAkNAPzrAVzhuoI=

... anywhere on the blockchain:

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/search?search=HM7vpPSUbN...

Why not?

Update: I get it now. It doesn't have to have been on the blockchain. It's just a message that was signed with a private key, and...., using Hal Finney's public key (wallet address), the message, and the message signature, we can confirm that it was signed by Hal Finney's private key.

You are pointing to a different set of dots than gbronner.

They are talking about the advantages of post-and-beam construction - extremely tolerant of heterogeneous and uneven lumber, can avoid using nails, etc. This article gives the impression that post-and-beam construction needed tons of expensive materials and skilled laborers - but they are saying it's not the case, it just was less amenable to economies of scale. You can't ship in hearty lads to hew logs the way you can ship in boards and nails.
Well Helios is there, the biggest hospital operator in Europe.
But they use the crappy Oracle Cerner i.s.h.-med SAP Add-On.
Then there is Asklepios not far away in Hamburg 2nd biggest operator in Germany, they develop their software inhouse (Meierhof).
And the big university hospitals use usually something they developed on their own (which is sadly nicer and usually more user friendly and useful than the vendor solutions).

And? There are plenty of apps that are exclusive to F-Droid, as well, and the sky still hasn't fallen.

Meanwhile, two companies have kept a stranglehold on all mobile app sales and mobile app payments, ensuring that businesses can't exist that can't afford a 30% cut into their margins.

It's been over a decade of this insane profiteering on behalf of Apple, and in some respects Google, it's about time that the mobile app distribution market and mobile app payments market are allowed to compete and flourish.

Nothing that requires my own server. At the simplest, someone can just send me the amount of my price, and I send them their stuff. Otherwise, PP can create button code that I insert into my html.

If I could insert trustworthy code such as javascript into my page, that executes on the user's computer, that would be a fine compromise.

I'm not anti-tech, but I feel that spinning up my own server (even on a cloud computing instance) would be a lot of complexity for my tiny business. I don't even know where to begin, should I want to secure such a server. I'm a good programmer, but have not done that kind of work before. I also don't trust my own skills to protect my users' security.

Finalizing the transaction does occur at PayPal's site.
The question is where did he get the signature from?
Exactly! They run into "that other guy" who tells them "Oh, you should delete Safari and Mail and always use these other programs!" Then I get to help them with why "other browser's" keychain integration is rubbish and it displays blanks instead of web pages for some sites, and the content filters don't work right… and something weird is happening with the UI of "other mail".

They will totally hand their phone over to "other guy" who will "do something, I don't remember what he did"… and they'll be subscribed to SketchyAppStore2023-HGTWRE.
I heard he gave millions of dollars to his dev team. What did he do wrong?
This sounds more like optimizing for different features than "worse". Being easy to build with easy to access materials is advantage all on its own.
> The technology needed to get there doesn't carry over to any other destinations except the Moon and Venus.

The technology for living there, and some of the technology for going places, does. Would you really want to try to go to Epsilon Eridani without going to Mars first?

> it's much easier to build next-generation rockets on Earth

Ultimately probably not; Earth's gravity well is too deep. Mars is, AFAIK, the only place we could conceivably build a space elevator with current materials technology, so if we assume interstellar rockets will need to be built with materials from both asteroids and planets then Mars orbit is likely the best place for that.
Ratliff in the book said a lot of people suggested this to him, and he never found any evidence of it.
Not only does it perform better as a generalist, it also groups embeddings for the the multiple modalities of the same concept close together (keeps bird sounds close to bird image in its internal representation, etc). This way it can learn in different dimensions, just like humans do.

You could ask it to sing like a bird in text, and it could respond in image + sound, or just sound. This allows for better general understanding of things. Deepmind did the same with Gato: https://www.deepmind.com/publications/a-generalist-agent

Worth noting that Rust also supports "Shared Ownership, Immutable" data - that's what Arc<T> gives you when T has no interior mutability, and thus implements Sync by default. (By contrast, a T with interior mutability needs explicit atomicity or synchronization, or else cannot have its access shared by multiple threads.)

That didn't happen on Android because while Android allows alternative app stores, it doesn't go out of its way to encourage users to them. So Google still has a lot of power via Play store user count.

Sometimes, we get a good outcome because titanic companies' competing interests are balanced... but that doesn't mean we should forget that if that balance were upset the winner would screw over users in a nanosecond.
Nice comment. You hit the wood dowel on the head ;) regarding the chisel work being more intimate.

I think it comes down to commodity vs craft - and if the goal is to simply produce a house or to produce a house where the process and craftsmanship was good for your soul.
I hope they turn this into a more agnostic data residency and privacy bill. I dont see much merit in targeting just tiktok or even just social media companies.
It might sound condescending, but the daunting is part of the !fun!

I strongly recommend just digging in, and it's never been easier than right now. The DF Wiki is one of the most comprehensive video-game wikis that exist due to a very passionate, very tight-knit community; and has excellent guides on how to play your first game.

I'd recommend playing one fort while strictly following a guide so that you can learn the interface and concepts, then try another fort totally on your own to experience the chaos in full.

It seems there’s sometimes an arms race in the comments section here to see who can produce the edgiest, most contrarian point the fastest. I’m waiting for the one that says extended, lifelong torture is actually healthy for the animals.
You need to prove that first, it is not a given. Because a n=1 counter argument is seeing my triglycerides, blood pressure and heart rate drop significantly in 2 weeks, while still being overweight on a very low carb diet and having lost a negligible amount of weight (can't do much in two weeks).

It is possible that some markers improve as a function of weight, but it is not necessarily so.
Your reaction was my reaction, for what it’s worth. It seems like everyone more or less is suspecting the same thing. (Private key leaked, no way to backdate the hash, therefore this proof isn’t as newsworthy as it seems.)

On the other hand, if it does appear somewhere in the blockchain, it’s a pretty big scoop.
Not really. IIRC the NIF needs to pretend that it's about nuclear weapons to secure DoE funding; they (like us) know that it's really about developing fusion as an energy source.

But the device consists of the hardware, the os and the app store. The is no "hardware" in the Apple universe. And that is good. If you don't like it that way, buy a Nokia.

Thanks, I have been on Linux for 10+ years but really haven't played much games yet, I did buy Portal on Steam for Linux ages ago. But, I hadn't heard of Proton until just now from you all! I guess I'll go see how to get that up and running.
I'm curious to know more. Sure, they're not well-tested theories and never will be, given their nature, but broadly it seems to track. The powerful forces of climate and geography on a people's culture and the effect of that culture compounded over generations seem at least an adequate explanation between the wealth gap of equatorial countries and those in colder climes.
Will not be a silver bullet, electricity production contributes less than half of global CO2 emissions. Still need other solutions for transport, industrial processes, agriculture, etc.

Further, it's possible that fusion plants might be prohibitively expensive to build and maintain, even if their fuel is cheap.
I love lnav and use it constantly, but it crashes a lot. I do wish there was something like lnav that was a little simpler to use, and written in a more resilient way that crashed less.
I can cut lnav some slack for the crashes because identifying and parsing arbitrary log formats seems like a messy problem. Still it shouldn't crash 1/3rd of the time I use it.
From your experience with him, do you think he has the academic background to write the Bitcoin paper?
That iOS polish is largely a byproduct of the walled garden approach. Users are incentivised to spend within the ecosystem due to the safety, security and support provided by Apple.
No, google wrote a blog post about how they're moving their new code to safe languages. The vast majority of Google's code is in C/C++, and will be for the foreseeable future. The same is true for Apple - there's a huge amount of existing C/C++, and new code is increasingly being written in Swift.
>This didn't happen on Android, macOS, or Windows, despite all of them allowing alternative app stores.

I'm guessing you aren't a gamer. This absolutely happened on Android and PC. Fortnight is the most obvious example on Android and the various PC game stores are constantly battling over exclusives which has led to bizarre and annoying situations like this[1]

Short-term thinking.

I give it less than 10 years before Chinese semiconductor manufacturers kill off the Western semiconductor manufacturers just like Chinese manufacturers have killed off other whole industries in the West. (Textiles, Paper, Steel, Electronics, Home Appliances, Cabling, Building Supplies, Tradies' Tools, etc, etc, etc)

It's the old easy 'buy-built' or difficult 'roll your own' dilemma that every manager has to decide on. The Chinese had been very content to purchase lots and lots of 'buy-built' semiconductors from the West. No longer.
Maybe that'd work too! I'm honestly not very familiar with ActivityStreams. My main concern is figuring out a lowest common denominator/the simplest thing that works, and I think RSS is sufficient. I'll have to do some more reading + thinking on ActivityStreams.

This is the rare occasion where the hype sentence might actually give you the spirit of how serious the charges are; he's "really exploring the space", as Bruce Dickinson might say, of how severe you can make a wire fraud charge be.
Yep. My dad is one such person - smoking has destroyed his health but it's so addictive he didn't even give it up after multiple strokes, heart attacks and surgery.

The idea that he's still smoking because "he chooses to do so" and "he likes it" makes me fucking laugh.

This law doesn't even try to wean addicts off cigarettes, accepting that many of them have no hope of giving up or even just moving to vaping. It seems like a fair approach to treat this population of addicts as something to be managed as they age out.
I don't see any reason why a foreign bank account shouldn't work, maybe that was before SEPA-Times.
But it would be very stupid because Sweden hasn't adopted the Euro yet, so they would pay double the conversion fees (when they get money from their employer it would get converted to SEK, and when they buy stuff in Berlin in card it would be converted back to EUR)
The number 1 thing they are paying for by a mile is reach. Not any particular service offering. Your listing the app store can be nearly as important as your SEO ranking of moreso depending on your business. It's why Google can still charge pretty hefty fees despite not locking users in nor doing all that much for app quality. If you're not in the Play Store, users won't find you.
You only need a pool of servers behind a load balancer for extreme reliability or for scaling out.

Most small to medium web applications can handle:

- Only being reliable for 99.99% of the time (using a single cloud VM where the cloud provides the hardware level failover).

- Scaling up instead of out (adding CPU, RAM and faster disk).
Corruption works when one is still rich. If the dude's got nothing now (or nothing he can get access too and others can't), he's not worth very much.
“User freedom” doesn’t work in this argument. Apple’s restrictive App Store is a big reason of why I use iPhones and why I recommend them to most people who ask.

There are effectively only two smartphone platforms available to users, and destroying one of the only meaningful differences between the platforms in the name of “user choice” is nothing if not ironic.
macOS has SIP (System Integrity Protection) which can be disabled.
Your mom would not disable it. No non-technical person i've ever met, even knows what SIP is, let alone has disabled it.

Security researchers, for example, can disable it. And use this to find security vulnerabilities.

The point is, as users we should have the ability...
Apple (or any company) should not be allowed to dictate what people are & are not allowed to do on the devices they own.
If we get an order of magnitude more energy, we can do an order of magnitude more things; fossil fuels gave us the Industrial Revolution, and nuclear fusion may unlock something similar.

There is a Controversial Views section
I don't see how is this comparable to "worse is better".

It's just "simpler is better for simpler things", which is hardly controversial. Use two dimensions of wood, simple connectors like nails, simple hand tools, less precision work. Heck, you end up using less wood even if you heavily overprovision and thus tolerate local faults, compared to large-beam construction. It's an aerospace-grade win.

What "worse is better" means in the software world is that an easy-to-do solution overtakes all, from simplest things where it belongs to the very top. This way PHP, which was a poorly-made thing even according to its creator, not just took over the space of simple dynamic websites, but also ended up powering world's largest services, such as Wikipedia and Facebook. (Now PHP looks hip; back when Wikipedia and FB experienced their meteoric growth, it sucked as hard as the legends have it, at everything about programming craft, but was a piece of cake to run and host.) For the author's analogy to hold, the Empire State Building would have to be built with balloon frame technology, and somehow stand.
Seems like it's the default that employees have privileged access like this unless it is explicitly designed out of the system. It's hard to do that even in domains much simpler than a cloud.
Couldn't Meta follow the same path as Epic? Doesn't that have potential to create a situation that is worse off for consumers because their device theoretically would be less protected in terms of both security and privacy?
