I'm reading the FISA disclosure and seeing:

The Court concludes that the targeting, minimization, and querying procedures, as written, meet statutory requirements.

In Part V, the Court finds those procedures, as written, to be consistent with Fourth Amendment requirements.

Particular attention is paid to FBI querying practices, which have been of substantial concern in prior reviews under Section 702(j). 1 The Court finds that the agencies' likely implementation of their procedures is consistent with applicable statutory and Fourth Amendment requirements

I read a paper that looked at Sybil attacks in the age of modern generative AI. In short, the internet is unviable without a clear human-or-bot signal. Until now that signal was inherent: most things a human can easily do a bot cannot; captchas, targeted cyberhacks, interactive realistic phone calls.

> In a JWT, the token is signed and you validate the signature with a cert, and that cert is public knowledge.

JWT is a particular type of token. Not everyone uses JWTs because they have drawbacks — in particular, a self-contained signed token can't be revoked without maintaining some sort of blacklist of invalidated tokens. So you have to resort to expiration to make up for that I guess?

>I don't think GNU has ever committed to any kind of minimalist philosophy

So true. I remember early on when GNU was started, people in the project where saying and developing with something like this in mind (paraphrasing):

"Make sure it works and meet users needs, even if it is too heavy for current systems, the hardware will improve as time goes on"

And that came true, for example, emacs is a lite ballerina compared to current IDEs.
That doesn't help at all if your loop variable is a 32 bit int that your compiler decided to transform away into vectorized loads from a 64 bit pointer.

But that's exactly one of the transformations that get enabled by assuming undefined overflow.
The part where you actually have to do it. And the part where you remember where you put it. What happens when you lose your wallet? Or when the paper gets crumped up and ruined? Or wet? Do they put it in a lock box? What good does that do them when they are in another country? What if they reset their password and have to reset their codes but forget to update the paper? Or what about when you have the old and new codes and can't remember which piece of paper you put on top? How may of them actually go back and verify that the codes work and the process hasn't changed and they can successfully recover their accounts? How about the 50 other accounts they have all forcing their unique and totally different 2FA recovery process that isn't like any of the others?

I keep my backup codes in a GPG encoded document with copies of it in multiple places. It's a big pain in the ass but I know I'm covered. For the vast vast majority of people this is more theatrical bullshit they won't bother with.
Do you feel the same way about sport:

Or entertainment:

If you don't initialize the initial iterator state, or compare with something that isn't a valid iterator of the same container, you kinda end up with the same issues.

The complaint here is that the warnings/errors for the integer case don't seem to be on by default. With the warnings command line flags enabled, this case is easily detected by the compiler, same as if it was some iterator object.
I second this recommendation. I listened to it on my long runs and now I am highlighting through the print copy because it has so many important insights for health and wellbeing through dietary, sleep, emotional and movement interventions.
1. The people creating the C standard were adamant that just following the standard was not sufficient to produce a "fit-for-purpose" compiler. This was intentional.

2. They were also adamant that being a "portable assembler" with predictable, machine-level semantics was an explicit goal of the standard.

3. The C standard actually does have text giving a list of acceptable behaviours for a compiler and "silently remove the code" is not in that list. And this text used to be normative, but was later made non-normative.

So I blame the people who messed with the standard, and guess who those people were?
Lisp of course supported both decades earlier though :)
ISPs collude and have deals on which of them are zoned where. It's not a conspiracy, it's just reality. Go to any area in the US and whoever the major isp is, only has dysfunctional att or a crappy satalite provider as their "competition." if Cox, Comcast, and spectrum (pick three big names) had to compete in every area the consumers would have a lot more options. Yes, you can't force business to sercice areas, but I think the collusion of these companies is what should be regulated. We all know it's happening and when they do, if the regulators treated them as a single entity, we'd have the antitrust violations and breakups consumers are so desperate for.

When Fiber disruptors like frontier, Google, or local metropolitans enter the picture: suddenly the ISPs have a lucrative deals because they finally have to freaking compete. Suddenly the data caps are non issue and consumers can get blazing fast speeds with no infrastructure changes because they are holding out.

Regulators need to prevent this in the USA, but have been captured by the isp lobbies. Cable crooks is what I call them, because that's all ISPs are now, crooks. They'll have techs steal or break your equipment. They'll hide evidence when damage was caused by their techs. They'll lie when outages occur due to their own infrastructure failures despite sending out contractors to repair. They'll say whatever they need to, no matter how fraudulent, to tack fees and monthly charges to your account. They've weaseled their way out of being classified as utilities despite that being exactly what they are.

I loathe the ISPs in USA. Of course they will push bills like this. I see no end to the hell of having them the as tollmen of the internet.

Lots of attempts to standardize procedures, etc., etc. - but East India agents far from home often had enormous latitude, and there were plenty of disasters and atrocities. (Not that either the British Government proper, or other European powers, were notably better. But they could certainly be worse - just look at the Spanish Conquest of the Americas, or the Belgian Congo.)

> But the tendency of compiler people to refuse to take the idea seriously, even for a second, just seems odd.

It's not taken seriously because it shouldn't be taken seriously. It's a profoundly ignorant idea that's entirely delusional about reality. Architectures differ in ways that are much more profound than how parameters go on the stack or what arguments instructions take. As a matter of fact the C standard bends over backwards in the attempt of not specifying a memory model.

Any language that takes itself seriously is defined in terms of its abstract machine. The only alternative is the Perl way: "the interpreter is the specification", and I don't see how that's any better.
I think that's the point, the paper is saying "a linear model was a good fit" when P=0.11. It's not at all a strong fit, compared to e.g. physics where p=1e-5 is desired. You'd think with 300k data points the results would at least be "statistically significant", p<0.05. The only data they present is averages over countries so I wouldn't be surprised if there was a huge effect of which site the worker was at, and their analysis deliberately ignores this effect by averaging, instead of including it as an explicit variable that explains most of the variation.
As someone who's lived in both environments, I think most urban people develop a shell from the constant interaction that's required in a city. People selling wares, hobos/homeless, and a stronger need to protect oneself. You have to be blunt or you'll never get anywhere. lol.

It could be, if the hardware supported it. Consider this quote from that page:

"in some debug configurations overflow is detected and results in a panic"

That's not good enough. We want to always detect it! Many critical bugs are caused by this in production builds too. Solving it at the language level would require inserting branches on every integer operation which is obviously not acceptable.

While you have convinced me that the compiler authors are more culpable than the standards committee, I still feel that they are ultimately responsible - the buck stops with them.

They're free to, and easily able to, add the word "exhaustively" when listing possible behaviours, but they don't. They can even do away with it entirely and replace it with implementation-defined, which makes compilers non-conformant if they optimise out code.
"It's interesting that a lot of performance-critical code tends to be written in C++, which sometimes pretends not to be that low level. The reason is because the actual performance critical code is really running CPU-specific assembly, so C++ just holds the high level intent of the model and the optimization happens on the primitives that the processor actually uses."

Zoning requirements exist for a reason. In this AirBNB hellscape, we now have entirely unregulated hotels in my nominally residential neighborhood. I live in a tourist town and it gets the worst kind of tourists, there to drink and play loud music to all hours of the morning.

These companies can fuck right off. Sometimes they accidentally improve things on one axis by ignoring regulations that are no longer relevant or overly burdensome, only to make something much worse on another. They're blunt instruments of criminality - they indiscriminately tear through both the useless red tape as well as the proper regulations that exist for entirely good reasons.

I was just out there in July. There's an entire class of rich entitled a-hole that hate tourists in Hawaii and they're normally the exotically rich (often they're in the guise of a surfer). Had one yell at my daughter while she was waiting for the bathroom (I wasn't there). Those guys aren't capitalists, they're crony capitalists. They want local jurisdictions to keep the tourists out (kill the economy) so that they can buy up land and real-estate and convert the area to something like a British Virgin Islands tax haven. Zuckerberg is one of these guys. Many of the locals in Maui were saved by the tourist industry when their agriculture exports cratered. They made a seamless transition and there are thousands of locals that are able to live comfortably whereas others have struggled because of housing costs. But even the tourist industry is under attack now. I hope they're able to navigate this so that the greatest amount of people in that area are able to maintain their livelihoods and keep their way of life.

Ottawa doesn't even do ghost towns right.

I had a book on Ontario ghost towns, so while working a gig in Ottawa, I went to one of them. It wasn't so much a ghost town as it was a bend in the road with a forest and a field, and no hint that it was ever anything besides that.

In general, I wouldn't have a problem with this. It was a preplanned stock sale, and the value of Moderna skyrocketed, predictably.

But, this...

"In a congressional hearing in March, Sanders highlighted that Moderna created its vaccine in partnership with the National Institutes of Health and received $1.7 billion in federal grant money for clinical development."

sort of changes things.

> It’s rude to put someone in a position where they have to say no to you

This made me think about a small aspect of Brazilian culture. If someone is selling something expensive like a house or a car, they will probably get mad at you for offering to pay a value much lower (or maybe not even that much lower) than what was advertised.
This literally happened to me. Looked at a house, Comcast said they serviced the address. First I checked online, then I called in on top of that just to make absolutely sure. Bought the house, ordered my Comcast, tech shows up on the day of install and says: "Sorry, we don't actually service this address, not sure what happened". I call in and they basically said tough shit, there's no way we're ever running service to that neighborhood.
I disagree with this one, the main argument is that technology for direct air capture is going to evolve, we are nowhere near the theoretical limit. Having competition between vendors to remove carbon is going to let new approaches flourish. If the government decides up front to invest heavily in one particular approach we might be stuck with something that is a lot less viable.

A good example is the development of uranium enrichment under wartime conditions which led to the construction of the K-25 gas diffusion plant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-25

the construction of which was contracted out to J. A. Jones and the operation of which was contracted out to Union Carbide. Gas diffusion is much more expensive than the centrifuge method developed later and nobody would imagine building one today but enough capacity was built early on that these facilities served the commercial nuclear power industry at the beginning.

Another issue with carbon capture is that there is a strong case for capturing it at point sources such as chemical plants, oil refineries, power plants, and such and this is something that is best done by the factory. The government's plant to build a carbon capture network to accept CO2 from point sources from "refinery row" down South makes a lot of sense, it is a lot like the networks we already use to distribute oil and gas to those sites, the main issue is getting somebody to pay for it.

----

Another argument for that kind of operation being done by a private contractor is that the contractor can go bankrupt which provides a mechanism for shutting that kind of thing down if it goes nonviable, such as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nukegate_scandal

and then there is somebody to sue, some possibility of reconstituting the operation on a new basis, etc. A government agency is way too likely to ask for mo' money and get it.

Something I noticed with my ex was how we differed in asking for help. I guess I am an asker and she is a guesser.

Me: if I need help I will ask for help. I do NOT want you to offer help unless I ask and I especially do NOT want you to just join in and help if it looks like I'm struggling. I feel entitled to the satisfaction of having done it myself, if I can.

Her: if she needs help she won't ask for it but hopes her frustration is apparent and help will come. Finds it very uncomfortable to watch people struggling and feels compelled to offer help or just join in and help. Feels annoyed if help doesn't come when she needs it.

As you can imagine this caused quite a bit of conflict between us, at least until I understood what was going on.

But I think in every other respect I'm a guesser.
The allowance wasn't "tradeoff performance time with developer time".
