Yeah, if you have an array of pixels or hypercubes, you can think of it as a 1D array and leave the details of what's contained below your barrier of abstraction. And that's a useful mental model much of the time.

But I would still argue that an array of pixels doesn't represent a 1D image. If a 2D image associates areas with color or intensity values, a 1D image would associate intervals with color or intensity values (since intervals are the measure of 1D space which is analogous to areas in 2D space). In my mind, those are different data structures, but the difference is pretty nuanced and I would understand if people felt I was splitting hairs.

Given the question, "what's a 1D image?" I'd argue this is the more complete answer. But if we were to ask that question in the context of a real world problem, yours is likely to be the more useful answer.

Nothing stops you from borrowing Bitcoin loans and using that to pay for your house... except the risk that Bitcoin goes up from 40k€ to 60k€ and your loan got 50% more expensive and there you go, your comment becomes pure hypocrisy.

The idea that 11 people bidding up 10 houses is going to radically change if you have Bitcoin or a narrow bank is ridiculous. If people borrow Bitcoin for the loan, they will still have to outbid everyone else at exactly the same price measured in dollars, because eleven people are bidding up 10 houses.

I am honestly quite tired of nonsense like your comment. If the economy is in general equilibrium, then there is no meaningful difference between Bitcoin and the dollar. If there is no general equilibrium, I would expect Bitcoin to be further away from it than dollars.

Airlines and banks do have to have to prove compliance with formal standards via audit to operate. These audits often require revealing some code to regulators under NDA. So our trust in them stands on sturdy ground compared to the offerings from the big tech companies.

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone would frame it in that way. It will just be a matter of saying "to protect everyone's security and privacy, only known good devices will be allowed on the web/internet". Software and hardware vendors will provide the right attestations, but if you write a custom kernel, that device will not be allowed to connect by any attested device.

But, you as a person will not be denied the right to access the internet. It's just that you'll need to use a device that doesn't "risk the security of the internet" to do so. Just like if you build a custom vehicle, you aren't allowed to drive it on national roads, because it risks the safety of the road system and all its participants.

First thing I'd suggest is really getting the terminology under your belt. Everything makes so much more sense when you use the correct terminology. For example, you don't extend a drive. That doesn't really make sense. I suspect what you mean is that you added a vdev to a zpool. Don't think about things in terms of disks and extending them, think about things in terms of one or more disks making up a vdev, and a zpool is, well, a pool of those vdevs. Zfs then works out how best to write data across the vdevs in the pool. Not disks.

> Typically, E2EE messaging services rely on local storage and encryption keys to secure encrypted messages. Messenger, however, has a long history of storing people’s messages for them so that they can access them whenever they need without having to store them locally. That’s why we’ve designed a server-based solution where encrypted messages can be stored on Meta’s servers while only being readable using encryption keys under the user’s control.

I remember Telegrams founder saying they don't use E2EE because you can't store messages with full E2EE, which obviously BS because matrix does it, and now Facebook too.

Now they say there is no "elegant" solution.

My experience is similar as far as big machines go. I have been thinkpads that are easy to work with. That said, the new stuff is definitely built cheaper than what you could buy in prior years, and the small "ultrabooks" are annoying to disassemble.

They use hard clips requiring a spudger/pick, tiny screws, and in some cases solder modules onto the mainboard. Having a portable option that is built around being easy to repair and modify is something I have to support, even if it's not perfect.
I'm not sure why I got down-voted, but I guess I could rephrase and establish my tone better. My previous comment could have come out as being critical. I just wanted to ask, would it possible/worth it time-wise to do a similar thing but support imputing more different strings into the ligature part? This is really cool, and I could totally see using it, if you could a few more chords. Great work! This would cover a lot of different tunes really well, and is a way better presentation then you normally get using plaintext and two separate lines.

A kind of related story:

Polish Competition and Consumer Protection Office looked at the terms and conditions for subscriptions to various Amazon services available in Poland and in a message published in the press yesterday office chairman says:

> "(...) companies Amazon EU and Amazon Digital UK had procedures in place that allowed unilateral price changes from the new subscription period onward. This type of condition is particularly detrimental to customers in situations where a payment card (debit or credit card) has been assigned to the account, and the operator grants itself the right to automatically charge the new amount for the next subscription period."

> "We have been advocating for years that contractual terms should fairly regulate the obligations of the contracting parties. In the case of subscription services, which are gaining popularity, consumers trust the service provider and entrust their payment card data to access and pay their obligations on a regular basis. >>This does not mean that from that point on, operators can, without their consent, charge more than what consumers had previously agreed to<<."

> "It is unacceptable to automatically charge according to the amended price list in the form of blocking the funds from the connected payment card or unilaterally introducing significant changes in the contractual terms,"

https://uokik.gov.pl/aktualnosci.php?news_id=20132 - the message in Polish

It's about Amazon here but the office investigates subscription services offered by other companies as well. Amazon EU and Amazon Digital UK cooperated with the office and now will notify their customers about the upcoming changes allowing them to refuse these and break contracts without any penalites. This work for ISP providers already - they can't change contracts at own whims; tho, they can pest you with phones with "totally new tied for your needs plans".

It's possible to push companies to change their behavior but I doubt this could apply to a specific service that 23andMe is. Although, this data breach might force data protection offices from various countries to look closer what they're doing here.
The solution to this is to encrypt the cloud backup with a key derived from a password that the user remembers and can enter into a new phone. The password has to be strong because the cloud provider has the encrypted data and has unlimited time to do a brute force attack. Unfortunately strong passwords are hard to remember and users hate them.

But there is a trick to prevent brute forcing of a weak and easy to remember password like your four digit phone unlock PIN. The trick is to have a secure element chip in the datacenter, with storage encrypted by a private key that can't be extracted from the chip. The chip stores an encryption key that unlocks your backup, but it can't be extracted from the chip unless you present it with the right weak password. The chip's firmware rate limits and caps the number of attempts to unlock the backup, and if too many attempts are made it ultimately erases the key and your backup is permanently lost. So you're protected against brute forcing even with a weak four digit unlock code. If you know the unlock code from your old phone and enter it into your new phone, the secure element validates it and releases the key so you can restore the backup.

Obviously you have to trust the manufacturer of the secure element for this to work, but it's probably a good compromise for most users because losing your backups when your phone dies is quite bad. I know Google's Android backup uses this method and I believe iCloud does as well. It seems like Messenger supports this too but you have to choose your own PIN because Messenger doesn't have access to your main phone unlock code.

If you're in the Bay Area in California, you're in one of the best spots in the world for birding.

Priit Pärn, a legendary cartoonist and animation director from Estonia [1], has used an excellent term, "mileage of the line". I DeepL-translated (with rough editing) a couple of excerpts from interviews he has given.

First excerpt:

Q: How is your inner self-critic working, are you satisfied with the results of your work?

PP: Yeah, I think I'm a very good drawer. One of the best.

Q: How long do you estimate the mileage of your line at the moment?

PP: For "Gabriella", I tried to calculate how many final frames I drew, about 10 000 to 15 000, 50 cm of line for one frame, so five to seven kilometres for one film. It's the kind of consistent drawing neccessary for an animator to keep his hands in. A beginner animator who is at the beginning of the road with the search for their own line and is making a film is forced to draw hundreds or thousands of drawings with the same rudimentary line. A cartoonist is not limited by his own predetermined rules, he can experiment and search. In most cases, one has reached a line of one's own by the age of about 35.

---

Another excerpt from another interview (rough translation again):

"It has come with decades that you can draw without any preparation in all sorts of angles and dynamic positions. And it also emerges from somewhere that you can draw in whichever way you want, but it's still your drawing. This requires a very high degree of thoughtful line mileage, which means you have to think while you're at a line."

(Priit Pärn is actually a trained biologist, so his way of reasoning is always very precise and synthetic, clearly influenced by an education in the natural sciences. Always a joy to read his interviews. Quite obviously, in addition to his views on the technical process of drawing, this level of analytical thinking also manifests in the hyper-multi-layered black humour and visual language of his animations [2, 3]. A national treasure for Estonia for sure.)
