great effort and very interesting. However, I go to Github and I see "This organization has no public members" .. I do not know who you are at all, or what else might be part of this without disclosure.

Overall, I believe there has to be some middle ground for identification and trust building over time, between "hidden group with no names on $CORP secure site" and other traditional means of introduction and trust building.

thanks for posting this interesting and relevant work

I would argue the jury was lied to here. Having been a juror on a murder trial, I witnessed first hand how much people are willing to believe prosecutors. In my case there were very obvious timeline issues and jurors just looked past it without a second thought.
You can definitely do that. This is just a different mechanism to do so. Your statement could be applied on any secret sharing system that 1password, Bitwarden, Lastpass have. They have a place in the world, and I'm not sure everyone is comfortable with E2E encrypted comms as a way to share secrets.

The whole idea around this was an open-source research project that people can use day-to-day or enhance to share secrets with a zero-knowledge system. What makes this unique is that it's minimal work to do this with a big level of security that you can run on your own.
> Why is a person accused of robbery, who just had charges dismissed against them, in jail in the first place, and furthermore, why are they being housed with violent criminals?

Working backwards: robbery is a violent (or threat of violence) crime. That’s why we permit pretrial detention more liberally for those charged with it; to incapacitate the potential for more violence.

As for why they can’t walk out of the court room, I agree it’s ridiculous. He may have had to claim personal effects at the jail and process exit paperwork. But that should be the jail’s responsibility to deliver to him, not the other way.

It's because you lose the ability to form new abstractions once your neocortex shuts down. The sensory areas begin shutting down quite early (around five) for most. You can only hear which category the sound belongs to + the error ("accent" in this case) and lack the ability to perceive finer nuances after it happens.

I had hoped that the old continent would not succumb to fear once. Hate speech laws are not productive and will be applied subjectively. They serve little purpose and solve no problem. You could as well make hate and stupidity illegal and we would still get legislation like this.
I hardly disagree here.

If we stop using some word just because some con-man said them, we'd run out of words much faster than we could agree on new ones.

And worse yet, we'd give the con-man the power to decide what gets discussed or not, and would legitimize the behavior of switching words like they were fashion accessories, that is one of their main strategies.

> The Phantom of Heilbronn, often alternatively referred to as the "Woman Without a Face", was a hypothesized unknown female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at numerous crime scenes in Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009. The six murders among these included that of police officer Michèle Kiesewetter, in Heilbronn, Germany on 25 April 2007.

> The only connection between the crimes was the presence of DNA from a single female, which had been recovered from 40 crime scenes, ranging from murders to burglaries. In late March 2009, investigators concluded that there was no "phantom criminal", and the DNA had already been present on the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples; it belonged to a woman who worked at the factory where they were made.[1]

That's not what led to lack of taste and nutrition. It was consumer preference combined with food supply chain logistics. People wanted redder apples, and stores wanted apples that stored well, shipped well, and were cheap. So they grew, shipped and sold Red Delicious. It's not tasteless because of farming, it's just a shitty apple. The marketplace gave the consumer (and seller) what they asked for.

Other produce does now has less nutrition (due to the farming methods you mention), and they could improve the produce if that was their goal. But it's not, because people aren't demanding improved produce. They demand "Organic", because they fear unorganic, because they fear it's going to make them sick. They don't fear a lack of nutrition (or taste), so they aren't concerned with it, so they don't demand more nutritious or delicious food, so it isn't made that way.

Americans have been programmed since the 1950s to prefer convenience, salt, sugar, and fat, over quality. Go to France, see how they eat, what produce they have. It's not because their farms are different. Their consumers just want good quality, local, seasonal food. So they get it.

As an engineer and a lover of coffee with a barista certificate...

* soil,

* climate,

* harvesting process (for example, you get different results if have somebody harvest by hand the ones that are ripe vs when you send a machine to harvest an entire side of a hill),

* fermentation/preparation process,

* roasting process,

And that is before even you choose what you do with your beans. Any grinding, brewing method will produce potentially very different flavour profile because coffee brewing is notoriously sensitive to minute changes in grind sizes, grind size consistency, temperature, pressure, duration, level of flow of water through the grinds, etc.

And then the question of how much you dilute the brew or what you add to it.

You can get very different results from two different processes:

a) make espresso into the cup, pour milk, add ice

b) put ice into the cup, make espresso over the ice, pour milk onto it

which is exact same ingredients, just a different order.

You can get the coffee to taste very, very differently based on what you put in your mouth before you drink the coffee. Try drinking a sip of coffee, then put a piece of cake in your mouth, eat the piece, then make another sip of coffee. You will find the coffee now tastes completely different.

The dimensionality of the space of all parameters is enormous.

Your script doesn't do the same thing as duplicity. Your script mirrors the local directory with your bucket. It loses all history. Duplicity does backups (ie with history) but not just that, it does differential backups to not upload everything all the time.
It would enhance HRV/ERV setups.

Just as old temperature maintenance was done via "no moving parts" (mainly large thermal masses), so old ventilation was done via "temperature drafting". For a long time we've overcome temperature maintenance via just forced air induction heating/cooling, which is not the most efficient. We're now saving some heat by using HRV/ERV but there's likely ways we can utilize things like this is talking about to reduce the energy needed to do it.
Do people know about the Phantom of Heilbronn? For 15 years, police in Germany found DNA of one and the same person on about 40 different crime scenes. The crimes seemed to be completely unrelated, including murder, burglary, theft and even disputes between neighbors. This person was labeled "The Phantom" and all that was known aws that she was a female (XX chromosme type female). Everyone agreed that she must have been a true monster.

To keep it short, it was all a contamination of the swabs used by forensics. The DNA belonged to a worker in a factory where the swabs were produced. It took the police 15 years to find out. 15 years!

I sometimes wonder what would have happened if that woman had by accident become a suspect in a crime and her DNA run through the police's DNA database.

If that's your angle your most direct attack would have been questioning GGPs criticism of the Quality Inspection staff. It's telling you severely undercut your argument by searching child nodes of a parent thread for your pet disagreement rather than your true contention against GGP that assembly quality control wasn't the issue.

That is, the whole predication of GGP was quality inspection was a factor, which you baffling instead chose to only argue against here in selected predicated children (of course we probably know why).
I know at least two people who bought such a doorbell for the sole reason of "being able to talk to the package delivery guy when I'm not at home". And not for security or to aid police in murder cases.

I think these two people are naïve at best. But I think it's wrong to assume everyone who buys such a camera, thinks about "providing evidence of crimes".

I've moved to using backup tools using content-based ids with rolling window hashes, which allows deduplicating content even between different hosts—and crucially handles moving content from one host to another efficiently—even though in other scenarios I'm guessing rdiff-algorithm can produce smaller backups.

The problem I have with duplicity and backups tools of its kind is that you still need to create a full backup again periodically, unless you want to have an ever-growing sequence of increments from the day you started doing backups.

Content-addressed backups avoid that, because all snapshots are complete (even if the backup process itself is incremental), but their content blobs are shared and eventually garbage collected when no references exist to them.

My tool of choice is kopia. Also borgbackup does similar things (though borgbackup is still unable to back up to the same repo from multiple hosts at the same time, though I haven't checked this for a while). Both do encryption, but its symmetric, so the client will have keys to opening the backups as well. If you require asymmetric encryption then these tools are not for you—though I guess this is not a technical requirement for this approach, so maybe one day a content-addressed backup tool with asymmetric encryption will appear?

Well I agree that programming Max is weird. And if I didn't like code better, I wouldn't have made Scheme for Max or the csound~ max object. :-)

But... we teach max to a high level at the university where I'm doing my Phd in music and CS, and I have seen tons of great stuff built with it by non-devs. I would argue Max is counterintuitive to programmers. My experience with non-coders is that they take to it usually better than to things like Chuck, Csound, SuperCollider, etc.

As a programmer, Max and Live provide me with an outer container layer and environment that is far more productive compared to code-only. but this of course depends on what you are trying to do and how you like to do it!

Submitting a plea is part of court procedure, and I'd also point out that the data you shared is for US federal cases, which have a notoriously high rate of conviction which could explain why people are quick to plea out.

> In fiscal year 2022, only 290 of 71,954 defendants in federal criminal cases – about 0.4% – went to trial and were acquitted, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of the latest available statistics from the federal judiciary. Another 1,379 went to trial and were found guilty (1.9%).

So 1669 defendants went to trial, and 1379 were found guilty, roughly 80%.

> Take a Map or Dictionary for example. C doesn't technically speaking provide one, so you learn to implement them pretty quickly and often.

I take issue with the "quickly and often" part, but you do learn to implement them! And that provides valuable insight when it comes to other languages.

I've had senior devs who, like past me, didn't understand why removing an element from a vector or map invalidates iterators or indices on it. I learned precisely why when implementing vectors in C: the usual implementation of those collections shifts everything around to maintain element contiguity in memory, so now your iterator/index is pointing to a different element (which incrementation will skip) or possibly past all the elements!

And when you're presented with these fancy data structures in Java or Python, that feels unintuitive and wrong. "Come on; I should be able to just iterate through this and remove certain elements as I go," like you would remove objects from a shelf. The shelf doesn't rearrange the objects after you take one out! But the reason it feels like an affront to common sense is that you've been trained to take the fancy data collections for granted and not forced to understand the complexity behind them that makes them efficient.

Of course, the real answer is to do that with some functional algorithms, like `std::remove_if()`, instead of via iteration. That way, you'll really be in the cloud-scraping ivory tower and never have to think about what's going on below. https://youtu.be/ggijVDI6h_0 :p
Education is a cog/mandarin factory in most countries.

Honestly that is such a minor change (pay the project upon completion of a feature rather than the dev who did it) which eliminates all the problems they state with the added benefit of allowing the project to plan on that money.

If a donor wants feature XYZ but that’s a lower priority for the project, the project leadership could still budget for it because once the feature is done they will get that money, allowing flexibility on how the project team pays (or not) for that feature.

Project leadership gets to set priorities, developers collaborate rather then compete, and the donor can make a feature happen faster and probably at a better deal then doing the contribution themselves. Seems like such a winning combo I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it until now.
The headline isn’t the original paper authors’ fault, rather the news side of the Nature editorial office. Sadly it leans on an all-to-prevalent crutch and oversimplification of the genetics field.

Fibre is relatively futureproof; this would be a fairly long-term investment. In 20 years, the same fibre can likely serve the connectivity needs of 2045; it is far less clear that satellite can.

In this country we messed around with various rural broadband schemes; one common solution was subsidised fixed microwave broadband. In the noughties when this was happening it was kind of "good enough", but it very much isn't now, and the rural broadband strategy has now largely shifted to fibre, rather than burning money on short-lived half-measures.
