I'm not saying otherwise.

In fact, when I wrote my original comment, I actually rewrote it multiple time to be sure it wouldn't suggest I was thinking it was some sort of irrational decision (that's why I added the “it's a good fit for what they are doing”), but given your reaction it looks like I failed.

> how did you judge the quality of the stories?

I haven't read them, I haven't judged them.

I'm reporting to you and anyone else who read it that while in attendance at worldcons pre-sad puppies, there was active campaigning for books based on the identity of the author. Sad puppies did not occur in a vacuum. I'm in no way justifying any stuffing the vote or any other shenanigans.

I will say that the last 10 years of winners are certainly more obscure than any 10 years from 1960-2000. Individually an obscure book may be great. As a trend it seems unlikely.

I may be missing out on something from the last 10 years. But after 40+ years of reading, why am I not getting recommendations on anything in the last 10 years (again, except for Three Body Problem)? You dodged that question also. No recommendations from the last 10 years? Why is that?

I would be interested in how did you first hear of Oxide.

I somehow landed on their podcast because it covered <whatever the hell I thought was interesting at that moment>.

The podcast is for me amazeballs marketing - it does everything but sell their product (might be a good idea to add a pitch in for each out-tro!)

I mean they talk about it, like “we had such a tough time getting the compiler to do something something and then veer off to discuss back in the day stories.

Walmart is somewhat notorious in the OTR trucking industry for having high wages, but very high barrier to entry. You need a near perfect driving record among other things.

If that little blip cascades briefly and causes 1000 users to see an error page, and a mere five of them (0.5%) to give up on purchasing, boom you just lost those $700 (at least in the travel industry where ticket size is very high). Probably much more.
It's interesting how people carry their preconceived notions into articles like this, especially when those articles are about entirely different industries and/or contexts than they're used to.

For example, reading any NTSB report would make it quite clear that the actions of specific individuals - from pilots to controllers to maintenance techs and more - are very much mentioned and dissected under the "blameless" style of investigation that international aviation adheres to. But people already have their own ideas of what "blameless" means that inevitably colours their reading - in some cases, colours it so strongly that not even the evidence of success is enough to budge the conclusion that there must be something wrong with the way "blameless" culture is implemented.

If I'm following my intuitions about the math in the right direction, the probability of getting a single-character-or-less edit distance from a given target hash is (56×32)/32⁵⁶ per attempt.

The expected number of attempts to get one success at this would then be about 2²⁶⁹. Even so, a typosquatting victim would be very unlikely to make the exact right typo for the attack to work!

I think my reasoning is wrong somehow because I think there are only 2²⁵⁶ different onionsite public keys, so it doesn't quite make sense that you would have to do 2¹³ more work than trying all of them. But I'm still pretty convinced that it's going to be infeasible without a strong break of the hash function.

In terms of attacks that merely try to generate onion addresses that are merely somewhat visually similar to target ones (e.g. by matching at the very beginning and very end?), these are possible, and it would be interesting to see research about how likely people are to fall for various attacks like that. Maybe that research has already been done?

- Everything is a P0 which will have you working incessantly, at a lower wage, for something that will probably be thrown away
Kind of tangential, but I wonder how sales like that take place. Presumably, none of these parties want to be identified, even to each other, since the one's a criminal enterprise, and the other's being purchased by a criminal enterprise. But acquisitions usually involve enforceable business contracts with clauses like, for example, the purchasee's owners not immediately launching a new news site called "Darknetlive2" or something. Do you just ignore the business contractual bits, set up some sort of crypto escrow service, and go forward that way?

> It’s not about outlawing any app or service, free tier or not.

I agree that your more recent proposal isn't, but your original proposal was--your original proposal was to legally require all users to be paying customers. You have now changed that to only legally require that user information not be sold for profit to third parties. I am simply emphasizing the difference (a very important one, IMO) between those two proposals.

> It’s about making a business model illegal

I'm not sure I would dignify "selling user information to third parties for profit" with the term "business model". Especially since, as you have already pointed out, there is already a context in which it is illegal (phone call information).
Even without full autonomy, truck platooning has been shown to be effective in places where they have been tested. One human driver and "autonomous" followers.

Possibly not.

But I do wonder why cloud and cloud-like systems aren’t more aggressive about splitting the infrastructure and tenant portions of each server into different pieces of hardware, e.g. DPU. A DPU could look DPU could look like a PCIe target exposing NVMe and a NIC, for example.

Obviously this would be an even more custom design than Oxide currently has, but Oxide doesn’t seem particularly shy about such things.

Yep, the DIY may work in an emergency but there are good reasons like noise, size, and power usage to get a commercial product if you're going to be living with it.

The layout of the purifier is important in a crowded space - the DIY requires open space both in front and behind for good airflow, but the commercial ones have a front intake but vent straight upwards, so you can shove it against the wall. No one is going to put their air purifier in the middle of the room away from other furniture.

You have to understand that most space missions are essentially webcams attached to a remote-controlled vehicle. You don't need hardly any onboard processing 99% of the time if you're just executing a sequence of actuator commands and maintaining PID loops.

An example of the kind of token transformation I'm thinking of follows.

Assume RSA signatures from the site that looks at your ID having public key (e,m) where e is the exponent and m is the modules, and private key d. The signature s of a blob of data, b, that you give them is b^d mod m.

To verify the signature one computes s^e mod m and checks if that matches b.

Here's the transformation. You generate a random r from 1 to m-1 such that r is relatively prime to m. Compute r' such that r r' = 1 mod m.

Instead of sending b to be signed, send b r^e mod m.

The signature s of b r^e is (b r^e)^d mod m = b^d r mod m.

You take that signature and multiply by r'. That gives you b^d mod m. Note that this is the signature you would have gotten had you sent them b to sign instead of b r^e.

Net result: you've obtained the signature of b, but the signing site never saw b. They just saw b r^e mod m.

That gives them no useful information about b, due to r being a random number that you picked (assuming you used a good random number generator!).

For any possible b, as long as it is relatively prime to m, there is some r that would result in b r^e having the same signature as your b, so the signing site has no way to tell which is really yours.

b is unlikely to not be relatively prime to m. If m is the product of two large primes, as is common, b is relatively prime to it unless one of those primes divides b. We can ensure that b is relatively prime to m by simply limiting b to be smaller than either of the prime factors of m. Since those factors are likely to each be over a thousand bits this is not hard. In practice b would probably be something like a random 128 bits.
The headline is inaccurate and is meant as pure click bait.
An electrical issue wouldn't be caused by crossing the international date line.
It would be illegal for insurance companies to use it (and questionable how good the data for this is, because it's not collected with this goal in mind). You can't really buy "items that together could form a bomb" or "murder cleanup kit" at Tesco and police aren't regularly scanning all of this anyway, which would be pointless as the data is so noisy to be useless. None of this has a connection to reality.

Store Managers are a very different type of pay structure though. They're more like someone from Corporate vs Retail. They get paid massive bonuses based on numbers their stores hit.

I worked at a few Home Depots and IIRC the store managers were clearing 150-250 while the assistant managers I think were in the 60-80k range. Then us floor staff were 9-15, maybe 20. This was 2008ish.

I remember the biggest HD in my state or somewhere the manager was getting I think 500k-1mil+. You can infer it from the numbers the store does and their bonus percentage whatever that was.

My mom was an HR director there so corporate as well and she made somwhere in 130-200+ not sure exact.

Or, more generally:

> An endowed professorship (or endowed chair) is a position permanently paid for with the revenue from an endowment fund specifically set up for that purpose. To set up an endowed chair generally costs between US$1 and $5 million at major research universities. Typically, the position is designated to be in a certain department. The donor might be allowed to name the position. Endowed professorships aid the university by providing a faculty member who does not have to be paid entirely out of the operating budget, allowing the university to either reduce its student-to-faculty ratio, a statistic used for college rankings and other institutional evaluations, or direct money that would otherwise have been spent on salaries toward other university needs. In addition, holding such a professorship is considered to be an honor in the academic world, and the university can use them to reward its best faculty or to recruit top professors from other institutions.

Nominally, yes, but most of the actual laws we have on the books are regulations written by unelected bureaucrats, not statutes passed by elected representatives. And even the latter serve special interests far more often than they serve the general interests of the people and the country.

I've found that partnerships such as you describe work easily if you are actively building a solution to a current pain in their industry. They then are happy to help guide you, in exchange, perhaps, for discounted access when it launches.

If your helpers are not interested in such a deal, you might already be missing product/market fit, as anyone who will be willing to pay for your solution would certainly be willing to talk about it.
> Some of the homeless people don't want a home.

To understand the problem we should first define what is 'a home' is and then we should ask homeless about what they do understand as 'a home'. People who never actually interacted with homeless in any [bigger than some spare change] capacity would never understand that.

This is about whether or not people might complain about not being able to side-load apps.

As a significant content category is excluded from the app store, it seems very likely that some people would like to side-load those apps and complain about not being able to do so.

[Edit] Another reason why people might want to side-load is to circumvent restrictions or censorship in authoritarian countries (e.g VPNs).
You're right. But one thing to keep in mind, is that with full comprehensive insurance, you're also paying to cover other people's vehicles, so if the average price of a vehicle increases your premiums can too.

My premiums have increases, while my vehicle has remained the same (and no tickets/claims/incidents).
