Slight tangent: How can Lazarus/HIDDEN COBRA be such a sophisticated nation state actor when North Koreans can barely access the internet until becoming government employees?

One would think that being unable to access modern security research, open source projects, programming resources, or "wild" malware would not exactly raise a nation of brilliant hackers. Perhaps some who subvert the great firewall are vanned and offered a job in the unit?
Some information in that post is out of date -- for example, MySQL has supported virtual columns for eight years now.

Other things in there are a bit of a head-scratcher. Using multiple storage engines in one table is a terrible idea ACID-wise, since each storage engine has its own separate transaction implementation (if it has one at all). If I was to list meaningful features in a MySQL vs MariaDB comparison, that one wouldn't make the list at all...

In any case, AWS built Aurora on MySQL and not MariaDB. There are numerous possible reasons, but it seems like an important data point to consider.
No need to discuss propaganda. Unlike Japan, Chinese competition is based on national-scale technology theft. No reason to hesitate to sanction China for unfairly competing with stolen technology on a national scale. However, this argument is lapsed because several strong sanctions are already in place.
No, it is not a misconception. How do I apply a patch from gmail to a specific git repo on my computer? (I would genuinely like to know the answer, but it must not involve mutt, gnus, or dovecot!)
Nuance is a dead art these days. It's either I'm right and you are wrong. Its sad that discussion over the internet in general have devolved into this. And politics go this way as well .

American food is OK. I can consider an in'n'out (which I had when I visited the USA) a fabulous meal for some scenario, and a 5 course Italian meal (which I had in Palermo) as well , for different reasons.

Both are culture , just different culture. And both have good things.

Societies would be happier if we re-learned to talk with nuance.
I'm not sure what's "between the lines". The chart shows the bulk of games released (~12000) being limited to the 4 of their 8 categories which have the lowest median revenue. Those categories being: (Visual Novel, ~4000, $1k), (Sexual Content, ~4000, $2k), (Dating Sim, ~2000, $3k), (Management, ~2000, $4k). The other 4 categories have a tenth of the releases and higher revenue. So there's a huge amount of "porn and visual novels" that are driving the median revenue down.
Poor and less educated people already have more kids than middle class and more educated people.

So there seem to be systematic incentives that skew the desire to have kids.

We should work towards counteracting those systemic incentives, by making it easier for middle class, educated people to have kids (an example would be % tax breaks for each child, which would be more money for middle class people).
Yes, Egypt has a high fertility rate, 2.9. But Iran does not. It only has 1.6. For comparison, Japan has 1.26.
The statement is that it is shameful to grab for powers that invade the privacy of law abiding citizens.
You don't think that having children is a selfish decision in itself? I have thought long and hard about whether I want kids or not, and ultimately I concluded that I should only have kids if I myself really wanted to raise kids (regardless of say, whether my partner wanted to have kids). Kids do not ask to be born, and life is not a guaranteed net positive.
> low morals ... behind their employer's back

Employees don't belong to their employer. There is nothing wrong with trying to acquire a potentially better job. The only real problem is they were using company resources to do so. Also, they were completely incompetent by running random executables.
Interesting? Give me some examples. This problem goes beyond the east vs west. This is about humans failing to learn from the past. Add modernity and progress|regress.
I generally feel like we can encourage building up more game development platforms, to solve such financial issues. One such platform was roblox, which i previously worked on, the ease in which they onboarded us to develop a game is pretty good. And due to no upfront cost, developers can quite make some money from scratch and the distribution will be handled by the platforms itself. The downsides i see is the cut they will take from us from the profit as well as bending towards their rules.

For advanced development we are still limited by the technological limitations provided by the platform, so it kind of limits our overall ambition too.
I might be wrong but it sounds like you don't know about the GitHub PR feature where you select the lines, and GitHub allows you to edit them, and posts a diff when you're done, and if the author accepts it out becomes a jointly authored commit.
In this case, 'several' is part of a larger grammatical context: 'the several States'.

It's likely that modern interpretation extends the intent to the obvious meaning 'the collection of States (that are part of the country)'. More modern math and logic terms might not have been in wide use at the time, and a 'group' of states sounds inherently ill defined. 'The States of the United States' just sounds silly.
Reading your posts has made me lose faith in your reading comprehension, so humanity is probably fine.

Currently, this problem is already mostly addressed by animal trials. Granted that that the pharmacokinetics of a given drug in mice, or even monkeys, won't be identical to that in humans, it's more predictive than using isolated tissue or cell preparations.

>It would just require the raw data from a variety of pharmacokinetic trials...

By and large, such trials are likely poorly relevant to the pharmacokinetics of your drug candidate, unless its very similar to an existing drug. And even then, you will still have to test your actual drug in actual people during Phase 0 trials.
>being unable to access modern security research, open source projects, programming resources, or "wild" malware

how do you know they are unable to obtain such things?

also, how do you think hackers are trained? by teaching them how to create a ToDo app with the nightly build of React?

they probably know by heart the ethernet and TCP/IP stack better than the guys who created them and could recite it backwards, and that's already enough to hack plenty of things

As a firmware engineer I’m horrified at the presumption that hardware is always operating correctly. Many times I’ve been told “your new firmware is broken” and the real problem is something as mundane as an improper capacitor or resistor value.

Also just look at the errata sheet for any microcontroller. Hardware bugs are so prevalent we have a special term and semi standardized document to describe them.
> Oh of course they tried to build a high-level CPU too. Still a terrible idea decades later:

I'll bite. A high-level CPU doesn't nessecarily have to add stuff, sometimes a high-level CPU does less because the tight integration with OS and language does more.

If memory safety is enforced by your compiler, e.g by your OS only executing WASM, you can get rid of the MMU. [1]

If you get rid of branch prediction and prefetching logic you get more space for more cores. If you hook up memory in parallel to those cores you get higher effective memory throughput and executed instructions per second.

If you got rid of the mmu you can also use that space for accelerating database indexes. CPUs already contain trie walkers for their page tables, you might as well use that for looking up data in indexes directly.

In the end highly parallel architectures won. It's just that we don't run logic programs in parallel but fuzzy neural stuff via array programming language DSLs.

The VC is OSS Capital, so I'm not too worried about this happening.
No. For a couple of reasons:

- what if you don’t like the cat

- what if you do like the cat, but it doesn’t like you?

- what if the cat has its own mood disorder?

- what happens if the cat spontaneously dies?

- what if the person you are prescribing a cat to is actually a dog person?

My opinion of cats is that they’re selfish, self-centred creatures that mostly sleep. I have (not by choice) acquired a pet cat that for some reason I have decided I actually like because he has cute eyes, but I think a dog would be a way better pet for the treatment of depression. They actually love you, and look forward to seeing you, and even when you’re feeling depressed and moody, they still accept you for exactly who you are and are just generally beautiful animals with the most pure and loving souls. (Except for maybe chihuahuas, which can be loving towards one select human, but can also just be completely demonic to everyone else).
The most recent high severity vulnerability I could find in libjpeg is CVE-2016-6702[0].

If you're willing to count libjpeg-turbo, there's also CVE-2020-17541[1].

I feel this can be easily dramatized in either direction

Imagine sitting down for 9 hours typing, then going home and scrolling through porn and getting high and thinking that's much more interesting than conquering a village, sailing the coast of a new continent, having sex with a beautiful virgin, and teaching your sons to reach even further into greatness.

Or on the other hand, the hard reality redpill that your life in the past would be manual labor on a farm as a peasant, making a lord rich.

I still lean towards a romantic past - working hard with your village friends, then going to the pub with them, and coming home and making babies with your wife, in a home you own, with a tended garden and many children, sounds better than writing Ansible playbooks and jacking off to pornhub. And this is the life of a loser in the past, compared to a "winner" of the present.

Maybe it's anomie, people don't have children when they don't believe in their civilization
I strongly prefer a DAW that I can run locally without an internet connection.

For me the most natural way to incorporate AI would be as "ai people" that

"Master producer Eric"

You can interact with them in much the same way as human session musician, producer, synth programming etc.
Couple also literally (figuratively) means some small plural number, because a couple people (at least a few, several… many even) use it that way. It’s an understandable mistake in understanding, as the word has a couple meanings.
> Having and raising children is expensive (both financially and otherwise) regardless any factor(s). Any parent will corroborate this.

I’m a parent, I disagree. I might have thought in my 20s that having kids is expensive, but in my 30s I make so much money that is not an issue. Buying a house, that is expensive :)

> I do not find life worth foisting upon a new individual; life is nothing but challenges and hardships. I refuse to throw a newborn life into this hellscape.

It blows my mind away that this remark is entirely oblivious to the consideration of physical media.
May I recommend you try Debian and its package `unattended-upgrades`.

Besides, I recommend servicing the device every so often. People create weird failure modes (putting too many files onto the device, clicking at random in menus). I also recommend setting up a backup.

As a figure of speech: Nobody is expected to service a car on his own. You'll get professional help every so often.
Which reinforces my point.

There has been a more-or-less working CPS implementation for Nim for a few years now:

Nobody seems to care though, as it has gained no traction at all and it has been mostly ignored by the core team.

You're absolutely correct.

The US has extremely high standards for bacterial contamination risk. This was a change from standards that previously were similar to Europe. For some food products, these changes materially reduced incidence of bacterial food poisoning relative to OECD countries, so it wasn’t entirely misplaced. I am skeptical of the benefit for some foods because the benefit has not been demonstrated. Scandinavia has similar food standards, so exporting food to the US often requires that it be processed in Scandinavia first, which isn’t always worth it for European food producers.

The main barrier to exporting food to the US from Europe is the higher standard of bacterial hygiene that the US requires. The US government is pretty obsessive about bacterial contamination in food.

I recall the expected rate of return on investments (measured over decades) to be closer to 5% than 40%. Nonetheless, compounding does work - it just takes a little more capital and a little longer.

To add: if you are buying them from a store, you will need to try multiple brands before you find the one that’s right for you. Unlike western-style pickles, the taste can vary very wildly across brands.
That is a completely different usage of the word as far as I'm concerned, like confusing nut ( and bolt) with nut (from a tree), in this case 'a couple' like two people in a relationship implies a link, like they are coupled. A couple of apples does not imply any link, it just means some small number.

>Perhaps also relevant would be United States v. Lafon Ellis [1], where the defendant sought access to the source-code of a DNA fuzzy-matching service.

I'm glad at least in this instance the defendant got access to the source code. He was being helped in pursuing this by EFF so I assume there were volunteers that helped with the analysis. But what if your case is lower profile? What if you can't afford to hire 10 programmers for 3 months to write test cases?

Also I wonder how such a request would go down in a UK court.

They just have mostly the bottom of the barrel stuff, the stuff you find everywhere (Mcdonalds, KFC etc.). France even lost BK from 97 to 2012. I recall seeing only like 1 BK location in all of Paris back in 2015.

> The majority of the population does not have the background to consider the implications of say, banning E2EE, they do have the background to understand that CSAM is bad.

This is all still just framing and you're only falling into the trap.

One of the many strong arguments against this kind of government surveillance is it's the sort of thing authoritarian governments use to commit atrocities. People can certainly understand that Nazis are bad and technologies that protect people from Nazis are good. Now all you need is to point to the proponents of the scanning and ask why they want to help Nazis.

It's the same tactic they're using. And then they use counter-tactics, like weaponizing Godwin's Law even in cases when you actually are discussing authoritarian government policy.

It has nothing to do with the nature of the issue and everything to do with the fact that the proponents of these measures are professionally trained propagandists who know exactly what they're doing.

Maybe we need a corollary to Godwin's Law. Let's call it Lovejoy's Law:

As the length of a policy debate increases, the probability that someone implores you to Think Of The Children approaches 1, and the person to do this loses the argument.
> These are software developers, they can damn well afford a laptop.

Not necessarily. On the one level, you don't know their salaries (as they might have negotiated badly or simply be underpaid), and then additionally they might pay a lot for housing, child support, debt, medicine, or other invisible expenses. Living in a place like San Francisco it can quickly add up.
"Do you think that your country would work is every citizen would need to agree to some law?"

I like how switzerland works. If there is no broad support for a new law, then it does not happen. So not everyone has to agree, but yes there must be a broad consensus. I think this can also work on the european level, but of course not, if every small detail has to decided on the top level. Only the questions of europe wide concern should be debated there. There need to be some standards, but not universal standards for everything. I mean, we cannot even decide for Strassbourg or Bruessel for parliamanet..
a lot of people say things like "ive always wanted kids". seems kind of selfish as well. just pick any of the cliche things, passing on your genes etc, its all selfish in a way
I don't think there's any real mystery on the increase in selfishness, though I think that's the negative perspective of it.

Individualism has been the cultural focus of education and child rearing for a long time. Having children changes who you are and can stand in the way of achieving your personal or professional goals.

I'm not sure it's a bad thing but it's easy to see how that could lead to less people wanting to be parents, especially women who've had a much more dramatic cultural shift in the last several decades.
This really is the crux of the issue, I've found. There is, at least for me and many others, simply no tangible, concrete reason to have kids, beyond the nebulous sense of pride and accomplishment, which is not necessarily always the case (postpartum depression or the lack of people who openly talk about regretting having kids as that's not socially acceptable).
Or, it must be possible to support some kind of reasonable family life on less than two full time incomes.*

* This does not mean "exactly one full time income", aka "woman, get in the kitchen". There are many desirable options between "one traditional full time male earner" and "two people working a combined 90 hours of paid employment". Also doesn't necessarily mean all the trappings of an affluent Western lifestyle, big suburban home with two new cars on the drive, foreign vacations every year etc.
Google, Apple, and Microsoft all presumably encourage their employees actually use their software before it goes out to the public to make sure it actually works. Google doesn't want to find out that some changes to Android cause major apps to crash so they encourage their employees to use work devices as their personal devices in order to get better coverage.
> Some of us have events in our past that we try not to think about, because if we think too hard, we might realize that we crossed the line. This fills men with guilt and uncertainty, but also fear. We know the consequences if our doubts became known ...

> So we lash out in this fear. We close ranks. We demand the most stringent standards of evidence to prove anything, evidence that we know is not likely to be there

Let me get this straight here: sexually assaulting someone -> defensiveness -> expecting evidence

So his criticism of people who expect evidence of assault is that they're really just defensive closet rapists? This seems like a really bizarre take, I wonder why he's making it

Couldn't a more reasonable take be that more egregious allegations require more rigorous proof (and more extreme consequences for lying)? What's unreasonable about that expectation?

If I go around accusing John Appleseed of murder and manage to fuck up his entire life, are you saying I should just be able to get away with that because murder is bad or under-prosecuted?

I left GitHub earlier this year after a decade. I’ve seen mockups, hack week projects and proof of concepts of this for the last 5 years (at least). A lot of engineers there knew this is the future that PRs need but GitHub at this point seems organisationally incapable of delivering these sorts of large improvements (Microsoft is perhaps partly but definitely not wholly to blame for this). Instead, they are midway through porting Rails views to use React, keeping most pages looking identical while introducing bugs and regressing previous usability improvements on a weekly basis. A real shame.
