>But death threats to someone because they made a tweet you disagree with or abusing your power as a bank to control speech isn't about protecting yourself from violence -

It's about causing violence. It's no different than "You happened to say something against our religious book, don't do it again or you'll get hurt".

Outsiders are a useful target because sometimes they are also the monster. This is the effect of existing in a reality with uncertainty. Accept everyone uncritically and you may be attacked by those you accept, this leads to fear, that fear is then manipulated by those that want power. There is no solution here, there is only the attempt to balance between malicious outsiders and malicious insiders.
There's also no take backs on Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App.

Thanks for the title. Went right up into my alltimefaves.
I think that's mostly due to consumers rather than the industry. The industry keeps inventing new stuff that they can charge more money for because that's what the people want.

You can go buy decent t-shirts with no logos for €2.50 right now. And yet most people walk around with t-shirts that cost €10-50 with some logo on them.

This becomes apparent when you look at common food like potatoes, milk, cheese, bread etc. All the competition more or less provides the same product for about the same price. If they could go cheaper while still being profitable they would.
Why would they want to do that? How would either your employer or the fed have the grounds to justify doing that?
Prime social engineering.
The point isn’t that it has judicial safeguards. Everyone thinks judicial safeguards are a good thing. The point is, once you weaken encryption to enable the bypass even through judicial safeguards, you weaken encryption for everybody and bypasses will be made, with absolute certainty, without judicial safeguards. If you enable encryption to be overcome through legitimate means, it will be overcome through illegitimate means. Which means encryption is effectively dead.

Uh, the Juicero was spectacular hardware. The mechanical engineering in that beast was absolutely beautiful.

I don't recall what the software was like, but none of that is why it failed, it was simply a moronic business idea. An overpriced subscription for low quality fruit in a DRM-laden pouch. Nobody wanted it then or now.

Completely agree. I find this attitude toward (against?) comments is common in fields where code churn is the norm and time spent at a company rarely exceeds a year or two. When you have to work on something that lasts more than a few seasons, or are providing an API, comments are gold.

I think that's a valid point - and actually in their terms of services say that they are not responsible for the signer authenticity.

Here is a summary from their TOS:

"DocuSign provides tools and features that help to establish the authenticity of a signer, such as email verification, access code, SMS verification, phone verification, and knowledge-based authentication. However, it's important to note that while these tools can enhance the security and authenticity of the signing process, DocuSign itself does not guarantee the authenticity of the signers. The responsibility of ensuring the identity of the other party lies with the user"
Hmm I don't see a real leap in innovation with this, it's just saving state across all chats.

Whenever I want code generation I just type "React and Tailwind" or "Django".

Whenever I want code optimization I paste the code in and it figures out what language I'm using 99% of the time.

If they want to save state they should go a level up and allow collaboration across chats and save those states.
>That leads me to the heart of your comment. Sure you could institute some kind of dystopian dictatorship that makes sure nobody dies of the causes we deem preventable now. But it would be a cure that kills the patient (free society).

>So, there are always trade offs. What I was saying is that looking at other countries and what they've done you can see the trade offs in advance and decide if they're worth it.

I'm struggling to follow your point here. Your argument is any country should only try things other countries have already tried?

Doesn't that get us into a loop of sorts? How did those countries get to the better/worse point without doing things on their own?
The problem is 2 faced. Quality doesn’t sell as features do and why would someone sell a product for $10 when it can be sold for $50.
Is this a project that “manages docker” or is it a project that has an overall design and command line interface that is inspired by Docker?
I'm no expert on this so this is pure speculation, but what immediately jumps out from this document is the amount of security- and availability-critical work that depends on each member bank. With wire transfers this has historically been achieved by gating transfers behind physically visiting a branch (not universally true). The synchronous nature (recipient must confirm transaction in real-time) of transfers may also cause annoying failures when recipient banks do maintenance or something at inconvenient times.

> the government used force on its own citizens

The government is authorized by it's own citizens to use force on some citizens (such as criminals).

That being said, your point might have been when did the government last use force in an unjust manner? That's a matter of constant political debate.
I think it depends on the structure of the group and its emotional ties. For an average group, communication can most often be interpreted negatively, but a good group is one that has a natural reflex and the energy, to right away, clear any ambiguity and restore the joy.
Ok, sorry for the confusion. It seems like all your previous posts were about it being a means to something else like resources etc.

If “nothing is an end in itself” it certainly implies “everything is a means to some other end.”

> One view triggers an update to a model,

I think it should be only the Controller which changes the Model. That can cause views which are dependent on the "aspect" of the model that was changed to update themselves.

But a view updating itself should NOT cause the model to change and thus not cause a cascade of other views causing other views to change.
Yeah thats what I was thinking of, I forgot the distinction (and the other HEIF variants)
Honestly, Meredith Whittaker came across very poorly. She made one point well, that one can't make a safe backdoor. However, she essentially refused to answer any further topics once the conservative politician said they wouldn't require a backdoor in encrypted messaging services.

Signal, Whatsapp, and iMessage threatening to leave the UK over this bill indicates to me that the bill is unreasonable. However, Meredith Whittaker did a very poor job of demonstrating that during this debate.

I'm only nominally a grown-up, but I've lived in the US my entire life and I don't think I write a check more than once a year. Most stuff I buy is done with credit cards (which I generally pay with their respective mobile apps with bank transfers), my mortgage is automatically withdrawn from my checking account, and I use CashApp or Paypal to send money to people directly.

I think the last time I actually wrote a physical check was when I refinanced my house in 2021.
You're placing a lot of faith in a system whose power would have long-since been stolen from the people.
Have a Constitution that limits government power.

That said, it has become apparent to me that we need to impose further limitations because apparently the whitelist/blacklist approach we have thus far is insufficient and the Anti-Federalists were much more correct in the long run.
"any-sync networks are permissionless. This means that anyone who knows the IP and port of the coordinator node can connect to it, create new spaces, or download existing encrypted objects. Data inside spaces is always secure, as it requires space encryption keys to read it."

I don't understand at all what problem ActivityPub actually solves. To my mind it's a similar spirit as Blockchain which is equally as impressive as it is useless. There are tens of thousands of people smart enough to clone the basic functions of Twitter or Reddit but features don't make the platform. Unless you are a master at digital marketing and can solve moderation and monetization better than everyone else, you're not going to code a better platform.

Arguing the personnel politics of the hypothetically fake Moon landing addresses a different argument than the one that I and the OP were addressing. Whether or not I agree with your assessment.

In regard to the need to "fool" the USSR, I'd point out that you are making a large assumption that governments are always as antagonistic at the top levels of leadership as the public is led to be and believe.

To illustrate, do you think that US alphabet agencies haven't uncovered critical top secret and massively damaging information about the USSR / Russia since WWII? And vice versa? Perhaps uncovering such information on a constant basis?

Why don't these agencies ever publicly reveal it? Virtually ever?

The public's concept of government is not the same as that of leadership.
Well, technically, nearly all news reporting is "reporting on other people's actions" — e.g. Seymour Hersh didn't witness My Lai nor did he even find out about it on his own: Lt. Calley Jr. had already been investigated by the military and charged with mass murder of civilians; Hersh got interested after an anti-war lawyer tipped him off [0].

> I don't see any evidence that these articles were a driving force in this set of events.

One day after Baker published his investigation in the Daily [1], Stanford announced an investigation into MTL's research. You think that's a coincidence, or that the university was pressured to act that quickly b/c of the Daily simply reporting that The EMBO Journal was looking into allegations about a 2008 paper that MTL was third author on? No need to speculate; the university explicitly credits the Daily's story [2]:

> According to spokesperson Dee Mostofi, the University will “assess the allegations presented in the Stanford Daily, consistent with its normal rigorous approach by which allegations of research misconduct are reviewed and investigated.”

It is true that Baker's first story led with the news that "A prominent research journal [EMBO] has confirmed to The Daily that it is reviewing a paper co-authored by [MTL]". But that's not the meat of the story, and most definitely not a catalyst for the university to announce an investigation. EMBO itself told the Daily that the review was still too early to comment:

> When asked about the specific allegations and the timeframe of the investigation, Batista wrote, “We currently cannot comment more substantively before we have a better assessment of the full situation.”

> It is unclear how long the review will take, and allegations can go without a response from the journal or authors for years. But an investigation could carry serious consequences for Tessier-Lavigne even if he is absolved of the alleged manipulation or other direct wrongdoing.

I guess I haven't seen that at all. Certainly "For All Mankind" is presumably intended ironically as it very deliberately plays up the Cold War vibe but that seems understandable given the premise of the series. Of course, we can't really know what would have happened in this scenario but I wouldn't expect a great atmosphere of cooperation between the superpowers.
I mean, they can't all be mind blowing releases that change everything we know about interacting with computer science... but this still seems like a useful feature.

>> You're assuming I'm not aware of that, and didn't try multiple times.

I'm not! What you describe is perfectly normal. Of course you'd need multiple tries to get the "right" output and of course if you keep trying you'll get different results. It's a stochastic process and you have very limited means to control the output.

If you sample from a model you can expect to get a distribution of results, rather tautologically. Until you've drawn a large enough number of samples there's no way to tell what is a representative sample, and what should surprise you. But what is a "large enough" number of samples is hard to tell, given a large model, like a large language model.

>> Doesn't matter how many times I try it now, it just doesn't work.

Wanna bet? If you try long enough you'll eventually get results very similar to the ones you got originally. But it might take time. Or not. Either you got lucky the first few times and saw uncommon results, or you're getting unlucky now and seeing uncommon results. It's hard to know until you've spent a lot of time and systematically test the model.

Statistics is a bitch. Not least because you need to draw lots of samples and you never know how close you are to the true distribution.

> All they need to do is refactor it and turn it into an application. That's not a trivial effort, but all the functional code has already been written by the IRS.

That "not trivial effort" sure sounds like "will not be free – not free to build, not free to operate, and not free for taxpayers" to me.

Don't get me wrong; I'm entirely in favor of this action, but I have no illusion that it will be free to build, nor free to operate, nor free for taxpayers.
Shares in a company only have value because society assigns them value. If you hold them until the company no longer exists or go back in time before the company existed they are inherently worthless.

If you have more gold than everyone on earth and you flood the market people can use it for any numerous uses that help humanity instead of making people rich.

Science research is often hurt by the fact that materials like gold and diamonds have such high prices.
