It's a long story. Illegally arrested for a crime I didn't commit. Spent almost 10 years in jail because I couldn't get access to my money to pay my bond. Charges were dismissed by the court after five years, but as I was walking out of the jail they arrested me for other charges I wasn't guilty of. Spent another five years waiting for trial on those; finally got out of jail for a few months; was harassed by the police, Tweeted about it, sentenced to five months in jail for a Tweet which basically said "LOL here come the police again to harass me"; went to trial on the other charges, judge is mad about the Tweet, finds me guilty without a shred of evidence being offered. Sentenced to maximum sentence, despite no evidence of guilt; already served all the time so should have been released, but authorities won't accept the address I gave them for parole; sent to a supermax prison for three months, then a minimum prison for another month, then released; waiting for exoneration in a few months on appeal.

I found F# great for dynamic programming, do you recall what tripped them up?
Nonsense, the reasoning is completely sound and you have misread.

The justification for secret powers executed in secret is that the "party in question" might proceed to do something else wrong in the future if they were notified.

It's a classic case of, "We deem you bad so you have no further rights" justification as argued there.

Read it again, it's actually a very important point. You yourself have broken laws in the past.
It's worth noting that eMMC, which is the used as the "hard drive" of most smartphones, evolved from what was originally a removable media format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiMediaCard

I suspect it's possible to design a phone which entirely uses removable storage, but beyond devboard-like systems, I'm not aware of any.

"men's rights" is different from men's rights.

But anyone who has consumed a broad range of media today should understand that the term men's rights is generally highly loaded. Just like reverse racism and white genocide.

‘Diablo IV’ review: A mechanically perfect romp through a shallow world
It's called "cost of market" at my company. Cost of market doesn't necessarily equal cost of living.. for example I make about 20% less in the Midwest than I would in New York or SF, but still way more than if I worked in London. But my cost of living is waaay less than London and also way less than 80% of SF
It's still worth a lot because most people are still on it, so another change of ownership could make it like it was before, i.e. appealing enough to advertisers to be about breakeven. I don't know how long that will continue to be the case if bluesky or something else gets some momentum and actually pulls people off.

Yeah, with drugs being legal now I've been wondering what the next boogeyman we're going to declare war on would be.
No, I will not.

“You just have to do more research to understand” is the crypto founder’s refuge from all criticism.

You have not demonstrated that your claim is worthy of investigation.

While I am not the most intelligent person you have met, I am a very smart person. Someone who claims that the CAP theorem proves the inevitability of blockchains has understood neither, or is perhaps deliberately using words to bamboozle mildly technical people. But perhaps you are ahead of your time and merely look like a scammer. Nevertheless, if you are unable to explain the idea to others who are not as smart as you, at minimum you are incompetent as a visionary or founder. Educating is your job, not mine.
I think the logical flaw is in the assumption that AML checks are a bug in traditional money transfer systems when in fact they are a government-imposed feature (largely following on from September 11 and the expanded scope of the FATF[1]). Therefore the same rules will eventually apply to cryptocurrency financial transactions negating many of the advantages that an unregulated process has when compared to a regulated one.

So the real question is: what is the technological benefit offered by decentralized ledger-type technologies versus traditional ones? The answer for many is that the technology is much worse in fundamental ways. Additionally the governance issues of a decentralized system or organization are very challenging to address.

> I'm really not a beliver in "for your safety" as an excuse for anything, but knowing the proper weight and balance of the plane seems trivially justifiable, and completely worth any intrusion that comes with weighing people.

There have been multiple sensationalized instances where an overweight passenger has been asked to move, to much outrage and outcry. This prevents that for the price of one-time outrage.

From memory, I believe the standard practice for weight and balance is to use a standard average/median passenger weight, which is proving troublesome in a day and age with rising obesity weights.
It’s exceedingly rare to find people who will willingly donate to a for-profit without equity or profit interest.

Generally either doing a non-profit and raising from philanthropists, or a for-profit and raising equity capital, will be much easier.
> If you were calling someone in the US but more than a hundred miles or so away, you'd literally get a bill for every minute you spent on the phone.

Far less distance than that. I grew up in the central city of a small metropolitan area, and in the 80s and 90s, calls from one suburb to another (depending on the exact pair) were sometimes long-distance. As little as 15 miles. All within one area code. OTOH, you could make local calls from close-in parts of Northern Virginia to DC even though they had different area codes.
That is correct, it is both.

US soft power can influence international norms.

US agents not having access to travel devices means US international travelers can reduce their risk exposure. Travelers can chose not to visit countries that will search their devices. If the US searches phones, it is is much harder for a US traveler to manage the risk.

No people just won't be able to find anything on DeviantArt.

Let's not pretend there is not a quid-pro-quo here. If you render to canvas, then you can't be indexed by Google Image Search. If you can't indexed by GIS, then how are most people going to find anything they're looking for?

You could entirely prevent direct indexing by crawlers by simply throwing authentication in front of the image requiring people to agree to a TOS before viewing it but that's not done because in reality 99% of what's there is of no particular value to anyone to be worth the hassle.

EDIT: Although I'm also not seeing how this would protect against anything? The AI generators are de-noising algorithms, and the effect of this is simply to add noise to an image. But their whole mechanism of action is based on whether they roughly know what the things in an image should look like, and then to denoise the image towards that.
Hopefully. But I think “the place” is a thread about this very blog. And refusing to engage is pretty relevant!

As recently as February of this year, weight issues made flights tail hit the runway: https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/software...

> a software glitch was responsible for the incident. According to the Seattle Times, the tailstrikes occurred largely as the result of a bug in a program sold by a Swedish firm called DynamicSource. The program is supposed to deliver “crucial weight and balance data” that pilots enter into their flight computers to help determine stuff like “how much thrust the engines will provide and at what speed the jet will be ready to lift off.” In this case, the tool delivered faulty data that “seriously undervalued [the] weights for the airplanes.”
I am not really sure why the advancement of science really changes the equation. You will surely die as the next human. The advancement of science does not spare you this suffering.

Yeah, agreed. That is way too conservative, especially for an issue which most people can’t easily triage.
Yes, though I feel like noncompetes were pretty standard for several years after that. Certainly in the years leading up to it they were; not only were noncompetes normal, but so too were IP contracts that assigned any side-project work you did in your off hours to your employer.

All I'm saying is that you get well past the Google IPO before it becomes broadly accepted that noncompetes are invalid in California, which certainly rebuts the idea that Silicon Valley succeeded due to a lack of noncompetes. (Noncompetes are mostly very bad.)

This is what I wrote the morning we launched Ethereum.

My mind is not particularly deep, but it is exceedingly wide. If you can find my equal in this regard let me know. I should like to meet them.

What I’m putting together is the technology platform to take the edge off the global humanitarian clusterfuck which is coming when the international refugee system collapses under the weight of climate refugees.

* blockchains and legal contracts get us aid transparency - if we can track the underlying physical assets say with 2D barcodes.

* correctly deployed insurance gets us biometrics without centralised databases. (Guptaoption.com/cheapid)

* unconventional approaches to civilian military cooperation are required to roll out aid on this scale https://web.archive.org/web/20120127093132/http://science.do...

Yes that is an archived version of an official DoD blog post about me.

* I worked for these folks for years https://akvo.org/wash-and-water-quality-data-solutions/ which is how we figure out where the food and water etc. are

I’m mapping and prototyping the systems for keeping hundreds of millions of people alive when the shit finally hits the fan on climate change.

Two molecules thick over a territory the size of a university.

You either see it or you don’t, but what I’m knitting together here is the only remotely viable global plan for managing the worse aspects of the humanitarian damage we are going to take from climate change.

I didn’t say “once in a generation transformative intelligence” lightly. This is about half of the shit that I’ve done in the last 20 years.

I started working flat out on this knowing it would take 30 years or more to develop in 2002.

Do you remember worrying about climate change in 2003? Do you remember how insignificant it looked? A little respect, please.

Shit has to get done. Something bad is coming.

Suppose I had not introduced my comment as being primarily generated by an LLM, how would you have policed this or reacted? And to be clear, my comment is doing quite poorly which seems to show the system is working, but I wonder if the summary, judged exclusively on the merits of its content, would have done as poorly? In the absence of my own personal time and alternate summaries in the comments at the time I posted, I found the two paragraphs from this LLM to be pretty damn good.

And yes, I understand the concern about machines batting around ideas with humans, but it seems like up and down votes are working, admittedly to my disadvantage today.

I had an English professor who turned me into Camus and it changed my life. It put a word (Absurdism; at the time, Existentialism) to my own worldview. Before that, I was just an atheist. I knew God wasn't real (imho).

But I didn't know where that left me. Camus shined a bright light on that terror and shrugged and it resonated with me and it still does, and I am eternally grateful to that Professor and to Camus himself.

I am sure there are better philosophies -- more Humanistic -- but Absurdism has always struck me as the most "true." It still resonates with me today.

Not all companies have public share prices, first off, since only about 1% of all incorporated entities are publicly traded.

Secondarily, well-run public companies do not focus their teams on the share price in the short term. They focus on long term growth that compounds from strategic thinking and focused execution, not chasing stock price that can go up or down randomly based on conditions out of their control.

For anyone wondering, this is what I do personally: for the iPhone, you can have it pair locked (1) with a MacOS (obviously one isn’t accompanied with you during the travel) that way they can’t -even if you were foced to unlock it- they can’t image the OS for further forensics, as that’s usually the case at borders, you wait an hour or two until they copy the image, or worse, planting some malware. This doesn’t work for Android btw.

For laptops, as I mentioned in another comment, using plausible deniability (veracrypt provide such functionality (2)), where you can login to a decoy OS if you were to be forced, keep in mind some deep forensics might give an indication that there’s another OS hidden and encrypted but very hard to do so.

People have been known to write them. In fact it got so bad that the California AG had to issue a press release a couple of years ago as a "reminder" that they weren't enforceable. But they have never had any effect other than to intimidate the stupid.
It is difficult to make any sense out of your claim that internet connected devices can't benefit from CT. The initial claim you made was based on the unreliable connectivity and update channels of those devices, neither of which are especially implicated in enforcing CT --- your belief was that devices went and checked CT logs over the Internet on the fly to validate certificates, which, of course, no.

Ironically, this actually is a problem for DNSSEC validation! It's the literal reason why Chrome pulled its original DNSSEC/DANE implementation from the browser.

What reasons are there to announce that one knows who should've resigned, in an announcement that refuses to identify them? Is it legal? Fear of retribution? Some internal Rust community process? Something I'm missing that the authors of these farewell letters assume everyone who follows Rust already knows?
