I look forward to being blocked by you, lol. My network devices have a convenient option already to block all QUIC traffic, and it is one of the settings I immediately sought out. (We also block VPNs where I work, generally.)

Network management is there for a purpose, and the people focusing on bypassing it are generally bad actors. The authors of HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are more focused on guaranteeing delivery of ads than being able to block malicious activity.
I'm genuinely curious if that's the case; can you provide some actual numbers?

> High-quality algorithmic randomness is similar. If we are denied an omniscient perspective—if we can't look “inside the box” to see what is going on—the random numbers produced will seem completely random.

The article touches on this briefly, but I think the distinction between cryptographic pseudorandomness and (unfortunately) "ordinary" pseudorandomness is important here. To get at the difference, we could say that you're allowed to look at everything inside the box, except specifically the bits of the secret seed. If there's still no way for you to distinguish the output from true randomness, other than the "brute force" strategy of trying every possible seed value, then this box gives you cryptographic randomness (i.e. it's a "CSPRNG"). Usually we'd also want to make the seed big enough that we don't have to worry about that brute force attack in practice, 256 bits as a rule of thumb.

> They would then use their spy-craft to combine their message with the random numbers (e.g., by numbering the letters of the alphabet and adding each successive letter of their message to each successive number from the table). They could then send that message knowing that if it was intercepted, it would be unreadable without a copy of their codebook

(I'm sure the author understands the following, but I think it's important to clairfy it anytime we touch on encryption.)

This sort of scenario is tricky if we don't make the "cryptographic vs ordinary" distinction above. There are lots of PRNGs that look random to us but whose output can be fully predictable to a computer program after a few observations. This isn't a rare corner case: most PRNGs have this issue unless they're speficially designed not to. For example, the Mersenne Twister algorithm used by Python's `random` module has this property, and I think the PCG algorithm that this article is about also has this property. If you use Python's `random.randbytes()` to generate your codebook, it's entirely possible and arguably likely that someone reading your encrypted messages will learn enough to predict every subsequent page of your codebook, which lets them easily decrypt all your messages after a certain point.
You need to renew your domain every year. You need to either pay your hosting provider or, in the case of hardware you run yourself, your ISP providing network connectivity, on a regular basis. How is relying on a third-party for certificates any different?

And you do understand the reason why having browsers verify that they're actually talking to who they think they're talking to is important, right?
Exactly. All social democratic welfare states, by necessity, place massive tax burdens on the middle class. e.g. Germany hits 42% marginal rate at around $60K income, and on top of that there's a 19% VAT.

I can't give you answers, but here are a few questions that might be helpful:

• Will you regret it more if you sell and fail or don't sell and fail?

• Do you view selling out your customers as amoral? If so, do your morals have a dollar amount?

• Do you think selling would positively affect your employees?

• What does a perfect day look like to you? Which decision will fill your life with more "perfect" days?

Option for SOME employees.
If/when a recession hits, every single employer is going to use that to force people back into the office. No ifs, ands or buts. You can see the largest tech companies like Google, Facebook, etc. start to enforce RTO, with the veiled threat of being laid off. By the end of next year, I assume most people will be back in the office at least 4 days a week if not 5. Employers will definitely use layoffs as the hammer to get people back in and working under their watchful gaze.

The issue is that producers have no bar at all for the role, and the role is not well defined, unlike software engineers that typically have a 4 year degree, 2 year degree, or at the very least a code camp, before being hired. Would you hire someone for software engineering who had no engineering training or experience just because they can talk lucidly and in detail about what software they like?

Maybe a better software analogy here would be to compare producers to product managers. Great PMs are truly gold, but the PM role’s technical requirements are nebulous, and there are plenty of PMs who don’t know how to write code, and don’t know how to craft a good product, and don’t know how to communicate with customers effectively, essentially having no skills required for the job, but able to talk convincingly to enough of the right people to get hired and keep their jobs.
Close, but the most efficient way to help people is to provide the services they need without depending on the private sector to deliver them. For example, if cash benefits are universally increased by $500, low-end rents will also increase by approximately that same amount, like clock work. UBI would be a catastrophe for many reasons, but this is the most straightforward of them.

Because you’re not just paying for a physical device. You’re also paying for the software that runs on it which is best in class. And before people start saying it’s not, how many people are running 7 year old androids compared to iPhones? In USD, A brand new iPhone, kept for 7 years works out at 32 cents a day - phenomenally cheap for something integral to modern day life. And that’s not even taking into account you can most likely sell it for $50/$100 at the end of that seven years, making it even cheaper.
Re side effects, I can easily see it worsening inequality. Anecdotally I feel like we're moving towards the well-off staying close to home, while a growing servant class brings us our stuff.

> Any action that promotes war between the two

Say it with me:

Russia invaded Ukrainian territory.

Ukraine does not seek war against Russia, they seek to reclaim the territory that Russia stole.

If Russia were to leave tomorrow, the war would be over.

There is no way to "promote war between the two" by supporting Ukraine, because the war was caused (and continues to be caused) by the unilateral actions of one party: Russia.
I don't use crypto or lose my money in crypto at all, you do.

So I'm assuming you know every function and know the control flow of any crypto project or smart contract that your interacting with in detail and reviewing each PR. Unless you use a vulnerability scanner like everybody else and you don't bother reading the code.

The Ronin Network (which is open source) was hacked for $620M even though the code was 'allegedly' solid and those playing Axie Infinity were indirectly affected and lost their money as a result. Where does 'reed the code' fit here?

In the eyes of the law 'reed the code' is a moot point. You can't lose 'money' in the billions and expect no regulation or nothing to happen.
That’s not a conservative take per se, meritocracy was a notion whose popularity came directly from the Enlightenment.
I'm not in Canada, but in my social circles, the answer to "for who" is: "for men". For whatever reason, most of my male friends now work from home. The women I know work in labs, classrooms, and other places that you have to go to for a reason.

It has caused this weird flip where it's now the guys making all of the plans because we're starved for social interaction, meanwhile our wives are more likely to opt for introvert-time.

Taking a week off means somehow having to find a very expensive and adequate replacement for that time. Unfortunately, that's a lot more hassle than it's worth. Honestly, it's easier to just stick to the routine than try to take time off.

I'm surprised that such data wasn't included in the Pew Research poll that the article cites. They seemed to have gotten a good cross section of the economy.

Yes! This sort of thing is always, always a real bug which can sometimes randomly show up in normal usage. Figuring out the root cause is really satisfying, so a good repro case (even if it’s just “spam this button a whole bunch and it usually crashes”) is valuable.

Or you can just shrug it off as a mysterious unknown glitch, and live with software that mostly works but occasionally crashes - like almost all software, sadly.
> Here's an analysis of that claim: https://poverty.umich.edu/files/2019/10/PovertySolutions-Ant...

Why should healthcare spending be excluded from "anti-poverty" spending? The fact of the matter is that in the US, healthcare is privatized and people have to pay for it directly or indirectly (ie. by their employer). Therefore if the government is helping to pay for it, it's an anti-poverty program. It's not any different than food stamps counting as anti poverty spending.

> Only in the 50s did nuclear power find civilian (i.e. non-violent) application.

Many of the early designs like Magnox and RBMK were for producing plutonium first, and power second. Nuclear power was a public relations project more than anything else, at least initially. The UK and Russia continue dual use with their power reactors today.

> their purpose is diametrically opposed

The purpose is decided by those who control the reactors. For example, the power reactors used in Canada produce plutonium, from natural uranium. Canada built a small heavy water research reactor in India; the material for their first nuclear bomb was made in that reactor. This was expressly not the intent of Canada.

This article doesn’t have any actual information about how “screen time” affects kids in it. It’s just a “conversation” about the different forms of panic.

Screen time is an incredibly outdated way of thinking about modern devices and their impact on people, especially kids. The concept was originally centered around the passive viewing of TV. Even if kids are just watching YouTube, the algorithm makes it a much different experience than TV.

Teen girls do look to be inordinately affected by social media. Anecdotally, i worry about boys in particular when it comes to playing games. I have seen multiple young boys spending every free second playing games to the point of obsession/addiction. Between phones and Switches, a game is always within reach. What impact does the constant state of brain arousal and dopamine hits have on the young brain?
Casino games, in terms of reward if not actual gameplay, are a huge problem in adults. I shudder to think how helpless a child would be when presented with games that are designed to be addictive.
No worries. It is a charged subject at it is very easy misinterpret posts.

I absolutely agree with you in terms of principles as they should be executed ( no one is untouchable ). I actually agree on the DA part too ( you are responsible for the area you are responsible for ).

However, between limited resources ( we only have X amount of time and money ) and high visibility investigation target that does have resources ( unlike most people in US, can fight back in regular court and in court of public opinion ), it is simply a bad idea to go for a relatively minor charge ( although I suppose we will know more come Tuesday ). The benefit to society is questionable. And DA has to prioritize.

So real question is why he did prioritize this case if that benefit is not entirely clear? And that is the problem I have with this. If the benefit in fact is 'we got him, because we just know he did SOMETHING', that in itself is problematic. It does not reinforce the 'justice is blind' belief. It does the exact opposite.

This is relevant, because, and this is very much a personal opinion, I am worried about where we stand as a society. The general trust in existing structures is already low. I can't reasonably argue this action adds to trust in those structures. In fact, I personally would argue that it does the opposite AND manages to play into existing narrative used by Trump himself ( 'system is rigged' ).

<< It's so weird to me that the people today who are saying "Well what about Bush!!" are mostly those who voted for him twice, at least in my circles.

I am admittedly a little weird in terms of US political landscape, but then I come from EU ( at the time I left, old country had a bunch of small parties, but that has been consolidating lately like in US ).

I don't want to add my voting history into the mix, but I can openly admit I never voted for either Bush, but I could be an outlier here. I just.. would like the rules to be applied uniformly ( and based on your argument, I get the feeling you want the same ).

<< The year is 2023, and before him he has details of a crime.

We go back to the priorities question. Should just about any charge be prosecuted? Would you accept jaywalking? How about public urination?

It is a practical question. Trump is a (1)former president AND (2)current presidential candidate AND a (3)likely presumptive nominee given point#1.

Is that crime worthy of indictment? It is a crime, but is it.. bad enough to make it worth DA's time and money.

And this is how we get to this particular indictment.

Is it bad enough? Public opinion already weighed on it once based on the available leaks so the case better be ironclad.

Like I said. Priorities and the reality of the situation.

edit: I decided to add something I don't typically do here ( add a jokey youtube video mildly aligned with my stance[1] ). It is annoying how well they capture the lines of tension.

That's what I thought when I was 20, but social interactions don't happen by osmosis. Walking up to a stranger in a coffee shop and talking to them is actually quite strange, especially if everyone there is working.

You're better off with shared interest groups: exercise clubs, hobbies, that sort of thing. It's like the social parts of work, but you don't get paid for it and you don't have to leave when you move to a new job. You can even go out as a group in the evenings after the activity ends if you want to, just like work!
It's a bit rough, maybe, but this old Buddhist story helped me:

The family had finished the new house and went to the monk to get a scroll to sanctify the hearth. The monk worked for some time, and then called the family to see the scroll he had written. It said:

Grandfather dies
Father dies
Son dies
Grandson dies

The family were taken aback, and asked the monk to try again. He called them back the next day and said, "I tried every combination of the verses, and this is the best order."
i wish they'd use si units like kilograms per joule, or joules per kilogram, which works out to s²/m² and permits direct comparison with the energy density of fuels

a kilowatt hour per 800 g works out to 4.5 megajoules per kilogram, which makes it easy to see that we're in the right ballpark (the energy density of coal itself is less than an order of magnitude higher) and that we're talking about delivered work rather than just thermal power
If low-end rents double, building housing looks a lot more attractive.
And that is why I decided not to have children myself. I never want another person to go through the atrocity that was done to me. Yes my parents were particularly horrific, but I even think the coercion of the compulsory education system that nearly everyone goes through, is wrong.

And I don't expect anyone to ever have to care for me, to me that's slavery, and instead I'll down a bottle of dog euthanasia solution when I'm ~80 and cannot survive on my own anymore.
> Ukraine was invaded by its neighbour. Russia started a war.

> The war isn't something that Ukraine wanted, but it was forced on them.

I rate both of these claims to be indisputably true.

> Would you deem tweets that encourage donations toward Ukraine's military defence to be "promoting war"?

> How about tweets that boost morale of their defence forces (well-produced propaganda videos, etc), [are they promoting war]?

The answer to both of these questions is indisputably yes.

War propaganda from the side which I support is still war propaganda. It doesn't stop being war propaganda just because it's also in the right. Remember "loose lips sink ship"? It was a WW2 American propaganda slogan designed to address German u-boat aggression. America was plainly on the right side of that conflict, yet those posters are still cited today in American classrooms as an example of war propaganda, because that's indisputably what it was.

Morally in the right and war propaganda have never been mutually exclusive.

I think it’s because people like offloading blame to an out group, so in this case, the middle and upper class blame the ultra-rich.

My afar observation is that most Americans that supposedly support an European-style welfare state are not ready to pay the required taxes to fund it. For some reason, they want a strong welfare state with their current tax burden, ala, hypocrisy.

Note: This does not mean the ultra-rich won’t pay high taxes too, but taxing them alone won’t fund a strong welfare state.
Not for everyone. A new societal class has emerged, comprising individuals who can work remotely indefinitely (I'm lucky to be one of them). In contrast, workers in industries requiring proximity to their workplaces, such as truck drivers, caregivers, and healthcare providers, face a different set of challenges.

I wonder if the differences in society will be exacerbated due to this or if governments will take measures to make commuting and living near workspaces affordable again.

While I agree with that completely, the "free speech absolutist" narrative that was pushed in support of Musk is that far-right talking points were getting downranked, that platforms should be neutral to "political opinions." In Texas, this notion has been enshrined into law.
