The US seizes the cryptographic material for a US based root, issues keys and certificates for the domains it wants to compromise and intercepts and modifies the traffic for targeted users. There's some additional asterisks around not getting caught and certificate transparency logs and browser reporting structure, but for many classes of devices, it will suffice to simply also hijack the domains used for requesting the transparency log or the domains used for reporting certificates that don't appear in the log.

Users who are concerned about a government like the United States can use DNSSec to prevent a threat like this by using a non-US based TLD that employs DNSSec, and by running their client in a mode that requires valid DNSSec records for their domains. Of course, such services would practically need to be located outside of the country of concern as well.

Inflation is a worldwide phenomenon right now, but it doesn't help that she is living in Canada. Why Canadians pay much more and have access to less despite living in a country that is 95% culturally, economically, and politically identical to the US, I do not know.

a quick web search would say seem to indicate that the most someone her age could receive from old age security is $700/month?

aslo I personally wouldn't describe old age security and Canadian pension as "assistance" as I imagine its more of an entitlement rather than an something needs based which I would consider more of assistance.

Search engine returns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Imperator , a German ship.

"In October 1913, Imperator returned to the Vulkan shipyard to facilitate drastic work to improve handling and stability, as it had been discovered that his center of gravity was too high (see metacentric height). To correct the problem, the marble bathroom suites in first class were removed and heavy furniture was replaced with lightweight wicker cane. The ship's funnels were reduced in height by 9.8 ft (3 m). Finally, 2,000 tons of cement was poured into the ship's double bottom as ballast. This work cost £200,000, which had to be borne by the shipyard as part of their five-year warranty to the shipowners."

Spending your money is a way of spending your time(expended to acquire the money), so you want to spend as much as you can leaving 0 or at least keep towards 0 as you age. Anything else and it would feel like you are dying early.

Im guessing, once you are in the downswing of life(>40 years) you want to enjoy your money(especially when you have lots of it), because by that definition its also a way of life extension in a biological context where death is inevitable. So you want as many trophy things as possible.

You don't even have to be a billionaire for this. Non trivial millions will pretty much leave you in the same state.
I doubt this is the case but theoretically you can make stupid or incorrect captcha and it will still deter bots if you actually check the pattern of use (I.e how many clicks in what intervals etc...) instead of checking if the answer is correct.

This is more or less what cloudflare and such do now as I understand it (as well as checking browser features and such)
It's really hard to imagine "scale my net worth up to billions" and work out what that practically means - even just your random billionaire can hire people to do things we wouldn't even think of considering, like having multiple houses around the country/world that are identical, and you have staff at each that makes sure they remain identical - if you left the New York Times on your desk in Milan, it will be on your desk in New York when you walk in the room.
That may hold for a trivial device or a perfectly spec compliant device. However, the former is not interesting and the later does not exist. I agree that more test coverage would be beneficial, but I think your heavily downplaying the difficulty of writing realistic mock hardware.

A better way to explain this is to note that at some point late in mission planning, after testing was complete, management decided to change the landing site. Did management allow the engineering team to re-run the tests to ensure the new landing site would work? No the fuck they did not. So when the lander saw the altitude data suddenly change by 5km, the computer decided the sensor was wrong and ignored it. Based on where the computer thought the land was, with perfect precision lacking the the altitude data, it put the spacecraft down perfectly. Unfortunately, managers forgot to tell the lander that it's landing site was 5km lower than it had been programmed to expect.

Bali Tells Tourists: Don’t Pay with Crypto
I don't think fires during projection were responsible for most lost films. If one or two prints of a particular movie were lost that way, surely others would have survived. Rather, Hollywood just didn't care to keep most such films around; many were tossed, reused (nitrate base stripped of the emulsion and recoated), or relegated to poorly run vaults in which they slowly degraded.
So many people overlook the cost of being able to "make change" an arbitrary amount of time with (nearly) arbitrary denominations.

Think about the last time you bought some for $1.27 and paid with a $20 and they took it without blinking.

I live in a developing country where there are still a ton of small mom & pop shops that aren't willing to eat the cost of that externality. So it isn't uncommon to go to one of them and they'll go "sorry, I can't make change for that bill size". Then you suddenly have the hassle of needing to drive to another store or getting change somewhere else or whatever.

In practice you adapt: the ATM only spits out big bills so you make a purchase somewhere to start breaking them up. Go buy a soda at an international chain instead of the local corner store. That kind of thing.

But it is still a cost we all pay, since "making change" isn't free.

Your sense of injustice, while not unwarranted, is misplaced. Both the person in the article and your father are the victims of unfair systems. Poverty exists in the first and third world.

It's not productive to point to someone worse off.

Math has problems where everyone suspects the proof will open doors and give valuable insight- I'm mostly plugged into topology where there are a lot of those. There are also problems that aren't interesting except in their difficulty, which drives the creation of new techniques and tools- Fermat's Last Theorem isn't particularly useful, but the effort to prove it created a vast body of spinoff work. But you also see problems that are more passive, waiting for someone to approach them with new firepower. Tilings are more like that- a testing ground for new techniques, and a way for mathematicians to keep their wits sharp.

Also, they do have some inherent beauty. I mean an aperiodic tiling is crazy right? And with one tile?

Is this really a problem with India or the expectations of such outsourcing?

With outsourcing you look to reduce costs - so much for it to be worth the effort.

A quality developer - whether in India or a low cost of living country is likely able to get a remote job (even back before remote was huge) that pays more than what the outsourcing salary is. The 1s left to accept outsourcing or a local role are of lesser quality.

I see 3 tiers:

1. Those that can move abroad and have the ability to get hired for a better career do so

2. Those that don't want to move abroad or can't but have the ability already take up remote or very high paying jobs locally

3. Those that go with local firms and international outsourcing arms and accept the local pay (which is a LOT less)
Huh, that's an interesting question. I'm not sure.

There was a moment when they broke out the honors tracks and I knew I should be in advanced history/english/science/everything except for math. I was doing fine at the regular pace, but would struggle to keep up with the kids who actually enjoyed the challenge and picked it up easy. But that tells me the split happened much earlier.

On the other hand, I know when I realized I was good at writing. I read constantly as a kid and started writing fiction by age 9.

And from that angle I can relate: I would help friends with writing in college. It's almost always possible to help someone who struggles to capture their thoughts clearly on paper or just approach a blank page, but that doesn't mean they're ever going to like the craft or develop a proclivity towards it.

I believe reflection is usually permitted in tilings- you certainly wouldn't wait around until you worked out a chiral tiling to announce. But it's a direct descendent of the hat tile, and I wouldn't be surprised if they already knew the direction to look before they published the original paper.
> I assume you mean the specific rewrites

Of course. The superoptimizer is too slow to use in the compiler itself.
> The point was that curation is trivially not doctrinal.

What you said is not curation, it's just managing the stock. Having 57 copies or 56 copies does not substantially alter availavbility. If somebody removed all copies of Atkins books, because "nobody needs them anymore" - then yes, this would be a doctrinal decision. Admittedly, since diets (for some reason) aren't part of culture wars (yet?), not a very controversial or scandalous one, but if some Atkins die-hards occupied a political position, or, in the contrary, Atkins were declared racist for some reason, it could become one.

> There are many reasons to have no copies of a book, with the simplest being that nobody has requested it yet

But how I can "request" a book that isn't in the library? Most libraries I've used do not have this function, not at least any that I could locate as a regular patron. On the contrary, I am reasonably sure most of the books featured on my local library's home page, aren't there because some patron came to them and asked for this specific book, which previously wasn't part of the collection and wouldn't be unless specifically requested (in fact, again, I know no way of doing this). Looking at their published collection developing policy I see (among others):

Provide a diverse and inclusive collection that contains content by and about a wide array of people and cultures

Consider the appropriateness to scope of the collection as it is developed

Content created by and representative of marginalized and underrepresented groups

Attention of critics, reviewers, awards and public

Suitability for intended audience

Literary or stylistic quality

Tell me these are non-doctrinal criteria. Of course they are - one's high quality suitable inclusive book is another's offensive bigoted trash. Again, it's about who has the power to make such decisions. Of course, the librarians, seeing themselves as The Experts (TM) would claim exclusive right to make such decisions on behalf of people paying for their library. But are they entitled to that, absent any control and supervision?
