They themselves abused it as anyone in military service is well aware. Then they required you to put it on your IRS forms, even though the Social Security Administration is a wholly independent agency. Then they required banks to capture it for any customer.

It goes on.. third parties weren't the worst and they didn't start it and some are required by law.

Imagine if Credit Card companies were as blatantly incompetent and as reckless as the government? The reason they aren't is because they hold most of the liability at all times, and there's a lot of good laws that set them up for huge damages if the make a mistake. The reason the government doesn't care is because no one holds them accountable.

If you have an interest bearing account, you need to provide an SSN, and even though the regulation has since been changed, you needed it for any account for 30 years or so. Anyways, if my SSN suddenly starts being used 12 states away from where it has been the last few decades, _nobody_ notices. The government is the only agency that could and they just don't.

That writer didn't just sit in a room dream this all up. Unbelievably many hours went into the making of this piece, including flying back and forth across the country to dig up information, speak to people, connect the dots, finding all the background information, staying persistent.

That's hard work. You may not like the style, but it's quite offensive to just brush it off as "nah, paid by the word, ridiculous"
There really was always only Map and Shuffle (Reduce is just Shuffle+Map; also another name for Shuffle is GroupByKey). And you see those primitives under the hood of most parallel systems.
The jury system was never about truth and fact finding, it was always about community justice. If the community feels safer with the accused behind bars the accused is sent to jail, evidence is only there to inform the jury in their decision. It's a terrible system that should've been relegated to the past.
I didn’t get it but I recently did a couple of things that changed my mind. Drove an EV and switched to an iPhone. EVs are not cars as we know them, they are scaled up phones whose only real traditional car bits (tyres, brakes, Air conditioner) the major manufacturers already outsource. Once the engine and gearbox are gone you are only left with one point of differentiation and that is styling/user experience.

Apple kills it at those things. All the stuff you don’t see will be outsourced. All the stuff you do see could be amazing. I am no Apple fanboy but get in a Tesla and think how good it could be if fancy stylists and designers made it.

I am a car guy but really, now you can’t differentiate on power trains the EV market is ripe for an Apple style product.
After reading this article, you would know when DIs are not the right solution and the better design to use.

This is part 2 of the series: ShapeSecurity's VM.

There will be many more parts to come guys stay tuned.
The two concepts don't preclude each other, but they're not the same concept.

Assembly theory is a theory that tells us that when we observe the complexity of something that is not unoque, we can determine probabilistically from it's complexity the likelihood of it being created by some type of active agent, mind or something. Lee continues with this to speculate a lot more (and I think he's on to something) about time being fundamental and what a mind is. It's sort of a computational complexity theory applied to intelligence.

This "phase transition" hypothesis is basically saying that life is emerging in the universe in a stage akin to recombination[0] as a more stable state, and that the universe without life is a metastable state[1]. This would mean that life will ultimately absorb all matter in the universe, as if it were a phase transition the cosmological principle says that the universe is uniform[2].

It sounds like a pretty idea but I'm not really convinced, phase transitions propagate at the speed of light. An exponential curve where the transition ramps up is am interesting idea to ponder. There are existing fantastic explanations for life that exist that are very interesting that don't require the universe to undergo a phase transition. Simple entropy and the red shifting of energy explain it's existence just fine. Nevertheless, all this research and these attempts to understand what life, consciousness, minds, creative agents and all that are in the context of our universe are really fun and I think all this exploration will bear some delicious fruit.

> Why is it that so many companies seems to regularly make the same mistake of over-hiring and then "needing" to downsize?

Perhaps the issue is with the assumption that it is a mistake. Or rather, that it is the kind of mistake that is readily foreseeable or a mistake where incentives didn’t force you “over hire”.

When there’s rapid growth the be had, why would you not staff up lest you lose share.
I've been to "the south" as recently as 2018 and the way some white guests in a taco restaurant conducted themselves towards the hispanic waiters was appalling. The entitlement..

I'm not at all surprised by this recount and wouldn't even be surprised if this happened today.
I am getting increasingly skeptical of juries.

For one, I just don't think we are very rational. And I am including myself in that.

And, like this case, the personalities reflect exactly what happens when you gether a dozen individuals. One or two are loud-mouth bravados, a few don't speak, and some are just apathetic. It's nice to think that I would be that disagreeable person who would stand my ground, but I am not sure.

Sometimes I wonder what we would do if the courts were designed today. I am pretty sure we would not come up with a system where we gather 12 random people. I don't know what we would decide on, but almost certainly not this. But like many things, it varies on because no one has an obviously better way.
You're right -- there are some that do. I have a 6-foot giraffe unicycle with a chain on it, but I never rode that to commute.

Most regular unicycles don't have chains or gearing -- they're just direct-drive.
It’s just a reflection of how society works. Are you suggesting an even more concentrated arbiter of truth?

Yep as an American living in Europe, my experience is that most people here are shocked to learn we put the lives of accused people in the hands of non-expert random people from the street. It's not a great system, but it's still only a tradeoff between the bias of one person (a judge) and the average of the bias of many (a jury)
In American chattel slavery, women were kidnapped, stuffed into boats where malnourished strangers died around them, beaten, forced to change their names and religion, and raped. The children of those rapes were routinely sold at auction, and their parents would never see them again. If the children were caught secretly learning to read, they would be beaten. Income taxes are annoying, but they are not slavery.

Rewarding emissions reductions is a pretty weird perverse incentive. Those who emit the most await the greatest reward. Carbon credits are in general pretty stupid, a carbon tax is what is needed.

Sometimes I think we should have only an LVT and a carbon tax. Every year the government would tally up how much it spent and send out bills for land ownership and carbon emissions. There would be no deficits, the goverment would necessarilly collect as much as it spent (with the exception of non payment), and it would eliminate all need for any tax beurocracy and record keeping.
Recentemente sono stati scoperti due pacchetti NPM malevoli, warbeast2000 e kodiak2k, nel registro dei pacchetti npm. Questi pacchetti, pubblicati all'inizio del mese, hanno attirato rispettivamente 412 e 1.281 download prima di essere rimossi dagli amministratori di npm. La scoperta è stata effettuata dalla società di sicurezza della catena di fornitura software ReversingLabs.

Entrambi i moduli, warbeast2000 e kodiak2k, sono progettati per eseguire uno script post-installazione dopo l'installazione, ognuno capace di recuperare ed eseguire un diverso file JavaScript. Mentre warbeast2000 tenta di accedere alla chiave SSH privata, kodiak2k è progettato per cercare una chiave denominata "meow", suggerendo la possibilità che l'attaccante abbia usato un nome segnaposto durante le prime fasi dello sviluppo.

Il secondo script dannoso legge la chiave SSH privata memorizzata nel file id_rsa situato nella directory <homedir>/.ssh e successivamente carica la chiave codificata in Base64 su un repository GitHub controllato dall'attaccante.

Versioni successive di kodiak2k sono state scoperte ad eseguire uno script trovato in un progetto GitHub archiviato che ospita il framework di post-sfruttamento Empire. Questo script è in grado di avviare lo strumento di hacking Mimikatz per estrarre credenziali dalla memoria del processo.

Questa campagna rappresenta l'ultimo esempio di come criminali informatici e attori malevoli sfruttino gestori di pacchetti open source e infrastrutture correlate per supportare campagne malevole nella catena di fornitura software, prendendo di mira sia organizzazioni di sviluppo che utenti finali. La sicurezza informatica rimane cruciale per proteggere le chiavi crittografiche e garantire l'integrità del software utilizzato nelle applicazioni quotidiane.
Watch a few lower court cases on YouTube, and your opinion of judges might drop so low you'd be happy with juries again hah.

Yeah, so I'm going to say this squarely falls in the "don't be an ass" category.

Make yourself known, wait for the acknowledgement, pass at a reasonable speed.

If you can't do that then wait for 20 seconds.

It's not hard.

I'm also going to say that "it's vastly safer" is nonsense your brain made up to self-justify your crummy behaviour.

It's a footpath. For pedestrians. To walk. I don't mind if people use it for other things, within reason, but not with this attitude.

And look, people misjudge these sort of things all the time. I've almost certainly done that myself on occasion. It happens. But when you intentionally do it, and try to justify it ... it should be obvious I'm not especially impressed by that.
I eagerly await your proposed improvements to the criminal justice process that you didn’t post in your criticism of the current process.
Thanks I appreciated so much. This project took many months for me to do as I had no guidance or proper knowledge on how to approach the problem.
That would probably create a lot of hung juries which wouldn’t be ideal from a very time and cost perspective.

That's exactly my point. Cross dependencies is exactly the problem I want CI to solve.
I want to see stoves that can burn wet wood, manure, fresh leaves, etc.

It is clearly possible to do from a physics standpoint - but the trick is how to do it in a robust, easy to use, and low particulate emissions way.

High efficiency stoves also tend to be very hard to get lit - since they only really function when everything is at operating temperature. That problem needs to be solved - perhaps for example by storing gasified fuel from the previous use to start it next time.
Who are you to require pedestrians to only move about "predictably"? Pedestrians don't expect anything fast behind them approaching at crushing speed*, and might ultimately decide to move or do random things because of a million different reasons you cannot know. If you at least somehow make pedestrians aware that you're coming, they can either get out of the way (I wouldn't, who are you to dictate me to scatter on a pedestrian way) or make an effort to move in a straight line.

> and pray you move predictably.

You even admit it yourself. In traffic one generally cannot take unnecessary chances with other people's safety.

*: it's very different in most other activities, I admit. When I ski, I have to be intensely aware of anything rowdies behind me might be doing so we can be safe when they zip by by less than two meters. A similar reasoning is probably at play here, but wide carving turns on easy slopes are still best reserved for early mornings or weekdays. Well-disciplined short turns look good too :)
Apparently that doesn't matter to US companies always eager to build in China as means to avoid paying US salaries.
This comment got me excited for something that’d actually be useful to say to people, instead it’s needlessly hostile.
Quality over quantity, for trails of this severity you have multiple judges decide the case. I am not convinced that having a random selection of people with no experience in law results in more accurate verdicts, in fact there is plenty of evidence of the opposite.
I have to admit this broke my brain. This is the first time I'm hearing about content addressable languages, and once you get over that barrier, a distributed language doesn't seem far fetched.

As a big fan of functional programming, is this something that is going to just end up being an esoteric language? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the vision of the authors, but after being bitten by the Elm bug and that crashing and burning, I'm just cautious of getting invested in new languages and tools.

I didn't mean to bring focus on the randomness of jury selection. (In fact it's obvious that in this particular case, it was very biased, which was a big part of the problem.)

Rather, "juror" should be someone's job.

People pulled off the street are not going to have the critical thinking skills, and will be broadsided by pressure tactics and manipulation.

Also, some people who are inconvenienced by jury duty will be resentful and just focus on their personal exit strategy (get it over with ASAP).
I understand that the state does not want to pay $2M, yet I wonder why it is so difficult to prove the person innocent of the crime they were convicted for. The mismatch of the DNA evidence from the rape scene is bullet proof as far as arguments go. All the other supporting evidence, including the strong alibi help for sure, but DNA is a detailed signature and there is no way to get an accidental mismatch?!
Why don't you actually put effort into actually writing out the problems?

I'm supposing then as part of this restructuring of society that will never happen there will also be a restructuring of how judges get to be judges in America which will also not be happening so that this "quality" will be achieved.
Nah. They could have taken the time to condense it down to something useful, but nope... they decided to pad it out as far as they could.

In Norway we long had two systems to determine guilt. One was a jury system. A careful examination of the performance of both systems over many years concluded that the jury system was the worst. All serious miscarriages of justice we have had happened in a jury system.

A key reason identified was that juries don’t have written statements giving the reasoning for their judgment.

The jury system ended several years ago and nobody miss it. A panel of judges professional and selected among citizens akin to jury duty determines guilt.
I think you can argue that it’s both a special case of an OT system, and a special case of a CRDT at the same time. It stores the original operations rather than transformed operations (like an OT system would). Then it does OT in bulk on those operations on every peer by constructing a crdt state object on the fly.

So it’s very closely related to both crdt and OT based systems. I think if you squint your eyes you could argue that it’s both. It’s a grow only set crdt, storing operations that we do OT on. We do OT by embedding another crdt implementation inside each peer.

Android was interesting in the begining (minus Google screwing up Sun and not being there to collect the prize), however the way they started pushing Kotlin while bashing Java (which Kotlin depends on to exist, alongside Android Studio and Gradle, what an irony), kind of killed by motivation about the platform.
The Rust compiler statically links everything into a single binary. This can be changed, but is generally discouraged as there are no ABI stability guarantees at this point.
I still don't understand the point of wearing a crazy expensive hunk of steel on your arm. Sure, its a very well-made hunk of steel by very skilled people. My phone is more accurate, as is literally any synced clock on ubiquitous computers. I guess its about flexing wealth or personal reward.

Yup that's exactly what I mean. Nobody ever mentions that flag when recommending stripping, and it's frustrating when you realize it's broken. It's been a few years, but even when I finally discovered and tried that flag, it still didn't quite do the right thing. Either it failed to strip stuff that -s stripped, or it still produced a binary that didn't work... I forget what exactly the issue was. I just remember failing to find an alternative to cc -s that was guaranteed to work.
Fair point. To quibble though, I guess you are only thinking of iPhones and iPads. There are other mobile devices with built-in support for sdcards, and even USB drive, that easily allow you to save your data on them or use them to create backup of your data. These features allows the user to have better control of their data.
