My line of argument is one where the role of a prosecutor or judge or LE of any kind is a very serious one

These people should be spending their free time reading papers and books on how Romans enforced their laws over remote German provinces of the Empire.

Instead they open all sorts of media and like hunters in the forest they pick a trophy that suits their liking and then they just use all their means to collect that trophy.

Or even worse they are not even creative in their trophy hunting quest, they all pile on Trump because by the way he looks and acts he looks like a fraud and advertises his nature thanks to his huge megaphone . So every prosecutor in the Nation piles on him because they want to be the one uncovering this big revelation to the American public...pathetic.

Their goal should be ratio of Money recovered from criminals to money spent for investigations/proceedings. No one operates this way because they are essentially predators, much like SBF and Trump are, just a different kind, but they receive a salary paid for by taxpayeyrs.
It's not about the size of the company, it's about the barrier to entry of the market they're in, how much competition they have and the amount of vendor lock-in.

And civil aviation in general scores top marks in all those fields. It's a duopoly with an insane barrier to entry both technical, legal and financial with very long and complex vendor lock-in.
If you’re in Boston we’ve still got a few great ones. I’m partial to used books

- Commonwealth

- Brattle

- Brookline Booksmith

- Harvard

- Rodney’s (though it moved)

Also if you like old bookstores you’d probably find The book “in praise of good bookstores” a delightful read.

Which law, passed after the ACA, would you say best reflects Congress identifying a serious national problem and attempting to comprehensively deal with it?
It's difficult to see what you actually want.

If your looking to understand people better, their aspirations, desires, reasons, I would recommend reading fiction, complex or realist/naturalist fiction in particular.

Otherwise, you might look at conflict resolution books which often have step-by-step examples and suggestions.

Also I would not be super hard on yourself. A lot of this simply comes from practice and trial and error of actually interacting with people. You can read all you want, but putting it into practice is different.
In addition to being Digital Minister, I was aware of Audrey Tang in work done with Perl6 (preceding Raku)[0]. As I understand it effectively it was a testbed for Perl6 changes that implemented the spec in Haskell/GHC.

It can be. This this case however it is limited to eth0, tcp, port 22. If any of those don't match there will be no parsing and thus no impact. Another mitigating factor is that we are only looking at specific byte regions of the packet so parsing is minimized. On busy SFTP servers I would probably avoid using such rules if CPU load is becoming a problem. For most people this will not even register in htop or vmstat. There are also ways to use this string check in combination with ipset and/or xt_recent to minimize the times we see a packet from a bot. Here is an example using an IPSet called "bots" that we drop early on in the raw table and also use in the filter outbound rules to reset openssh trying to respond the first time we see the bad string so we close the socket earlier.

In a startup / init script / systemd unit file:

# IPv4
ipset flush bots 2>/dev/null
ipset create bots hash:ip hashsize 2048 maxelem 65536 timeout 604800 netmask 24 2>/dev/null

# IPv6
ipset flush bots6 2>/dev/null
ipset create bots6 hash:ip hashsize 2048 maxelem 65536 timeout 604800 netmask 64 family inet6 2>/dev/null

In this example I am using a bigger netmask much in the way name servers rrl rate limit.

In the raw table, drop bots we saw for a week:

-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22:80 -d [server ip] -m set --match-set bots src,dst -j DROP
-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -d [server ip] -m string --string "SSH-2.0-libssh" --algo bm --from 10 --to 60 -j SET --add-set bots src --exist --timeout 604800

In the filter table outbound rules:

-A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 22 -m set --match-set bots dst -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

This should only be performed on servers that one has console / out-of-band access to, after exhaustive testing.

> Our national health and public health systems should primarily focus on prevention

In theory, this is obvious. The reality is no one, not a single leader - political or socio-celeb - is willing to give the American ppl the bad news. That is, yes the healthcare system needs work. However, the general health of the biggest component of that system (i.e., the patients) is 5x worse.

You can't have your cake and your low cost effective heamthcare too. If Obanma couldn't say it? Who will? Even the CDC and the Covid fear mongering rarely addressed the *preventable* pre-existing conditions. It's simple not PC to suggest that most people victimize themselves.

For years the healthcare system has been sold as The Problem. It's been demonized. Anyone expecting the citizens to pivot and suddenly be accountable for their diet and lifestyle is just damn naive, at best.
What does "open source" mean here?
I expect it to save a lot of CPU by only needing 1/3x of compactions. You might want to do a benchmark on that ;). An example is quickwit (building inverted indexes is very expensive).

That's the future guy's problem. So long as it is possible to cash out before the consequences happen that sort of regulation won't move the needle much.

Making it illegal to be a bad CEO is one of those things that sounds intriguing on paper, but would be a nightmare to implement in real life.

Prosecutor: "You inflated investor returns by sabotaging the future survival of the company and made shoddy products that killed people."

Former CEO: "So what?"

The worst part is that this is a real problem. So many formerly strong companies have been brought down by this behavior that it is becoming notable when it doesn't happen. We are allowing these guys to destroy the American economy slowly just because it makes them and their close buddies ridiculous money. And of course the government is largely captured by these same people, so Washington isn't going to help. Just so frustrating.

And none of them have the sort of checks most western governments do, including heavy protection for whistleblowers, many have a statutory period after which all documents are declassified, right to information laws.

And from what I can tell based on the following link:

Canada appears to require federal court approval for classifying certain aspects of the report.

So it appears the only agenda here is by TFA which deems this as the action of “government censors”.

Maybe Canadians would prefer a system that is even more open and can vote accordingly, but it appears that the current system does have decent checks and balances, and is very clearly much more transparent than likely any other institution in Canada (which is indeed how it should be).
When it was generally a pain to order books that weren't in stock. That were generally not discounted--and when they were, not by much. No ebooks. More people used to read more books.

Buying a load of used books was pretty much a monthly thing for me at one point. Now I might go to my library's annual book sale when it's $10 a bag.
Between laser printers and photo copiers (built on laser printer tech) Xerox did just fine.

If anything, Xerox's "willingness" (intentional or not) to allow the root ideas to grow in various places has been a blessing to the IT industry as a whole.

What you are suggesting is they could, or should, have become all the companies you listed. But that would gave been both impossible, and counter productive.

Steve jobs saw the GUI, and Ethernet, and object orientated programming, and laser printers, and office software, and yet Mac is famous for just the GUI. Others would run with networking, programming, MS with office and do on.

And in addition to those major players there were lots of others competing too.

So no I don't think Xerox management needs to be embarrassed. They saw the value printing and ran with that. They left others to develop the other ideas. And in the long run we are much richer for that.

So, from me anyway, there's no shame on them, rather a tip of the hat, and a nod to the vision they had to create PARC in the first place. They are the giants on whose shoulders we stand.
No. Distilling societies to material conflicts between anarchist actors for their own good is how Marxism as a school of thought (historical materialism) distills colonialism, which is really close to realism.

https://content.csbs.utah.edu/~ehrbar/valmat.pdf

I said Marxist and not Realist because most people know about Marx and people confuse realism in political development with the common definition of realism.

Strawmanning.
> A large part of the money that was funned [sic] into research at Xerox came from the government itself

Do you have any support for that? For example, Xerox's financial disclosure forms should still be available.

Because I think it's wrong. The government funded academic projects, not commercial ones.

It takes Edgar 54 days to build a swarm taking metallic elements from all sources, including living organisms. But then when instructed not to harm living organisms, it still takes Edgar 54 days to do the same. Extracting metals from humans can't be the most efficient - or even in the top 100 of most efficient, likely - way to get metals. So why would Edgar do that?

Also, how Edgar is supposed to be responsible for ensuring humans do not go to war for energy sources and that new technology can not be used ever to harm humans? Pretty much any high-energy technology (and by high-energy I mean something from the muscle power of a human upwards) can be used for harm. These conditions are clearly impossible.

> Once AI takes hold, we will no longer see such extremes of income inequality.

That's a very optimistic view. From where I'm sitting, it seems like the rich people control all three of the important AI companies (OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic) and all one (Nvidia) of the important chipmakers, so they will likely get even richer and many comparatively poor people will lose their jobs.

> The power efficiency difference may be explainable by the much slower frequency of brain computation (200 Hz vs. 2GHz).

Or by a more static design. A GPU can't do a thing without all the weights and shaders. There are benefits of this, you can easily swap one model for another. Human mind from the other hand is not reprogrammable. It can learn new tricks, but you cannot extract a firmware from one person and to upload it to another person.

Just imagine if every logical neuron of AI was a real thing, with physical connections to other neurons as inputs. No more need to have a high throughput memory, no more need to have compute units with gigaherz frequency.

Well, it was created before Flutter, so it wasn't built for that purpose. They did however steer Dart's direction in a way that would be more suitable for Flutter than as a JS replacement which is what it was created for. I don't think it's fair to criticize Dart in the way you have without giving any examples. I haven't found it to be trying to be powerful at all. For example it uses async-await, defaults to dynamic arrays and doesn't focus on classes as much as eg. Java. So I find it to be simple on all accounts. And the developers have specifically stated that their intention with the language is to be as intuitive as possible with the smallest amount of surprises. And I've found that to be the case. I almost never need to actually look at the documentation. Meanwhile I always find myself in MDN looking at some strange JS API (`Date`, for example) despite using it for much longer. And don't even get me started on Java.

I think culture is underrated. Acting like he did should not be considered a dignified behavior and I think that will meaningfully constrict behavior even in the absence of new laws. Think about how business culture varies across jurisdictions: there's more than just profit-maximization at work.

Also, to be clear, Boeing's safety record is still good. The only recent deaths are associated with less-trained pilots in the earlier days of the 737 MAX. My frustration is they took this organization from an engineering leader to an organization that can't ship a plane. The 787, 737 MAX, and now 777X were/are insanely delayed.

The nightmare scenario of a US-China war and Boeing being unable to ship a plane honestly haunts me. Boeing is extremely important to the West, broadly defined and this jerk didn't uphold his commensurate responsibilities.
I’ve been building Packj [1] to detect such attacks. Packj can flag malicious, abandoned, typo-squatting, and other "risky" PyPI/NPM/Ruby/PHP dependencies. We use static, dynamic, & metadata analysis to scan for indicators of compromise (e.g., spawning of shell, use of SSH keys, network communication, use of decode+eval, etc.) OR presence of vulnerabilities.

Bag of words models use a context that is a "bag" (i.e. an unorder map from elements to their counts) of words/tokens. GPT's use a context that is a sequence (i.e. an ordered list) of words/tokens.
I also use TripIt and am a big fan of:

- You can subscribe to your TripIt calendar, so that all of your trip details automatically show up on your personal calendar app. You only have to do this once (not for every trip). If like me, you use your calendar to run your life, this is a huge productivity benefit.

- You can forward your flight confirmation emails and accommodation booking emails from most hotels, trip booking sites (e.g. Booking.com, Kayak, Amex Travel) and even Airbnb/VRBO/etc. to TripIt, and they parse the contents and add the details to your itinerary

- For me, it's now become my source of record for when I was last in/out of the country, which I find super useful for US immigration stuff (green card, global entry, citizenship applications, etc.) and some non-US visa applications too

- If your company uses Concur for travel/expense management, you can link your work account as well so that work trips show up there too

- I think this might be a Pro feature, but you can get alerts of gate changes, flight delays, baggage carousel assignments, etc., oftentimes even before your airline informs you

- I don't use this as much, but you can also invite people to individual trips and they automatically get all itinerary updates

There's lots more benefits, but these are my top ones that come to mind. The UI is super old school, which I don't love, but the convenience far outweighs this and some of the other cons for me.
I think you maybe answered a different question than what I intended to ask. I meant to ask - if I only transmit encrypted communications while I’m legitimately transmitting legal content … how would anyone differentiate illegal high-entropy encryption from legal high-entropy noise?

Obviously anyone can track my transmissions with “fox-hunting”. But my transmissions would superficially be valid and legal. How would they notice the well-encrypted communications which theoretically should look like random noise?

No. We don't define "zero trust" that way. That's the opposite of what I just said. "Zero trust" is a marketing label for the ideas in Google's Beyondcorp strategy. It's not a principle that you can extrapolate from this way.

I wouldn't recommend reading more books, psychology, theories or how to step guides. I've been in your shoes, good awareness but still offending or rubbing people the wrong way despite genuinely not intending to. I recommend a more experiential approach, which would obviously make more sense for something like our emotions. To be mentally capable one has to think more, to be emotionally capable one has to feel more. Therefore, I recommend meditation that is focused more on introspection, self-realisation. These processes will help you empathize more deeply with yourself, understand yourself deeply (much more deeply than merely in an intellectual manner) and then apply that to others. This way the dynamics between yourself and yourself, yourself and family, and finally yourself and others in the wider community will be clearer. The dynamics will then naturally resolve themselves over time. Good luck :)
