If anyone wants to dig deeper, there is an excellent lecture on YouTube by Leonard Susskind. This goes into some details on how fields in general give mass to (composite) particles, and how the Higgs field has certain properties that allow it to give mass to elementary particles. It goes only into a tiny bit of math, absolutely intelligible at the high-school or at least undergraduate level.

Trust is established through interaction with the ransoming party. The interaction will be some version of a trial solution that will decrypt some subset of the locked systems to prove that they can in fact recover your systems.

Maduro's regime won't release the tally sheets that show the election results, but they claim that they won. The opposition is releasing (80% of) the tally sheets, and claim that they won. The Supreme Court, which is in bed with Maduro, says that Maduro won. And they're trying to arrest the opposition presidential candidate. (For "conspiracy, falsifying documents and usurpation of powers". I guess showing the evidence that you actually won is falsifying documents. And claiming that you are the winner is "usurping power".)

> Any particular reason/mechanism why the Higgs field suddenly (gradually?) switched on?

"Switched on" is not really a good description. According to my understanding of our best current model, the Higgs field was not in its vacuum state in the very early universe--there were lots of Higgs particles around--so it was not "switched off" any more than any of the other Standard Model fields were. But in the very early universe, the electroweak interaction worked differently than it does now. As the universe cooled, there was a phase transition that changed how the electroweak interaction worked, and after that phase transition, the Higgs field acquired what is called a nonzero "vacuum expectation value", meaning that even though there were no longer any Higgs particles around-- the Higgs field was in its vacuum state--that vacuum state now corresponded to a nonzero value of the Higgs field, meaning that the field can interact with other fields, and that interaction is what we observe as mass for those other fields.

No, it didn't. Mass is not required for gravity; only energy is. The energy was there before the electroweak phase transition; it just wasn't in the form of rest mass. It still produced gravity.

This article is suspect as it mentions a "stationary electron". Such an electron would have precisely known momentum, and so exist throughout all of spacetime. This is a common starting point for solving the (e.g. Dirac) equations, but it's not physical.

What do you mean "did not commit"?

Anyway I think you're right that the US would strongarm EU governments in to getting their way (look at privacy shield, etc.) but I still think "you're allowed to continue breaking our laws that affect people in our country while you visit us because it happens to be running on a computer you left at home" is a weak defence.
For sites that use a resident webauthn token like GitHub, you can list the known sites on the key. The UX for all this is not where it should be, however.
That hardly constitutes a precise definition, but at any rate the lecture I linked to goes over the history and I quote, once again from Einstein himself:

>The next position which it was possible to take up in face of this state of things appeared to be the following. The ether does not exist at all...

>More careful reflection teaches us however, that the special theory of relativity does not compel us to deny ether. We may assume the existence of an ether; only we must give up ascribing a definite state of motion to it

This is about half way through the lecture before Einstein touches on general relativity. Towards the end he is quite adamant that a theory of the ether is necessary to fully appreciate general relativity.

With that said I do not want to fall into an argument from authority, certainly much of what we understand about relativity today along with its implications differs from its original formulation, but I present the lecture because I think a lot of people don't quite have the appreciation or historical understanding of what the ether was or wasn't, they just read about how the Michelson-Morley experiment proved that it can't exist along with sensational views that the experiment represented some kind of embarrassment or catastrophe in physics and the ether became a fall-guy of sorts that we must entirely rid ourselves of.

But if you read through the actual primary sources you get a very different picture of how physics progressed bit by bit.
> Show me a FLOSS implementation of this standard and you will have a point

I've had a point from my first comment and it hasn't changed in validity. It's just taking time to convince you, but I think I'm making progress :)

I referenced several open implementations in my last reply, an a cursory search reveals more [1] [2]. Besides, this still doesn't help you trust the hardware, even if that hardware is entirely open like some sort of RISC chip. Can you verify every step in the supply chain? At every stage of assembly? No? Or, assuming a trusted device, can you be 100% confident something wasn't added, a simple keylogger? Most keyboards can be removed from laptops without leaving a trace, so can screen casings, speakers, batteries, etc. Plenty of places to hide something tiny.

> At the moment, I would have to trust a megacorporation obeying NSA,

That's less likely than the software you use having been compromised, for example by introducing an obfuscated bug, or MitMing as you perform a software update (many software update mechanisms have notoriously weak security, search some defcon talks on the subject).

> Your threat model may vary.

No, what I'm saying applies to all threat models, and I challenge you to name one to disprove that.

Secure boot is an open standard and can be implemented in a trustworthy and secure way, you just need to put in the work to do so. It's entirely possible to do so.

Of course if you are putting in all that work, if you are that at risk, you would need to switch your software stack entirely as well and use something like seL4 as a starting point.

> If the higgs field did not exist, particles would not have enough mass to attract each other, and the universe as we know it would not exist.

This is not correct. Rest mass is not required for gravity. The source of gravity in GR is the stress-energy tensor, which was nonzero in the early universe even though all of the Standard Model fields were massless. Indeed, a vacuum electromagnetic field today has a nonzero stress-energy tensor even though, at the QFT level, it is a massless field (the photon).
Is this supposed to be cute? Just seems like a pathetic relationship. I don’t understand the context.

"How the hell did I not realize this before?"

There was a concentrated effort to blow the problem of landfills massively, massively out of proportion in the 1980s and 1990s. I have not seen in active in a couple of decades, but the cultural detritus of the effort still floats around, and few people are terribly motivated to go correcting it since it's a dead issue.

There have been some legitimate improvements in the space since then. A disturbing amount of Grady is talking about is relatively new, not something we've been doing for a century now.

But the propaganda in the 1980s and 1990s was definitely around running out of space on Earth itself to store garbage itself because we're just generating so much. There's a picture I doubt I could dig up that has been injected into my brain of a field of garbage as seagulls fly over it and a lone backhoe in the distance tries to contend with the field of garbage. And, sure, the actual garbage dump isn't a pleasant place, though to be honest I was always sort of impressed with how little smell they tended to generate even in the 1980s. But there's a lot of unrepresentative places on Planet Earth to plop a camera. Give me a million dollars and I'll make a documentary proving Earth is uninhabited and uninhabitable. Chromecast's default photo screen saver is full of pictures of dozens of square miles of uninhabited wasteland that are very pretty colors due to the local chemical composition. But that's not a great way to understand the world in a proportional manner.

Speaking for the US at the time, in a semi-rural area, the plausibility of this was enhanced by what you would find walking through a forest. People threw a lot more stuff just straight out of their cars on the roadway, dumped cars and mattresses in state forests, all kinds of things like that. Times have changed on that front. But even then, it was really only where the people were. Most land was not full of garbage. But, pretty much by definition, the people are where the people are, so it stood out, made it a lot easier to feel like we were drowning in garbage, when all we really needed to do was take a bit better care of where we actually lived.

(This comment is about land garbage. Oceans are a completely different beast for many reasons and I'm not speaking to the issues of plastic in the ocean.)

Great post.

There is third option with excess solar energy production - send it elsewhere.

This is partly what China is doing with solar - concurrent with massive solar installation there is also extensive ultra-high-voltage electricity transmission lines being laid out, to load balance excess production in the sunny but sparsely populated N and W, with the excess consumption in the heavily populated S and E.

Australia, Morocco, Spain I think are also getting into this game, though in these cases for energy export

Yep. I empathize deeply with these people, but I also can't feed their delusion of grandeur if it very clearly causes them discomfort. I feel a human need to "rescue" someone from false senses of persecution, even if it ultimately feeds someone's belief that they're a subject of interest.

It's also tough, because I realize that all of us are somewhat responsible for this. The proliferation of technology, advertisement and security marketing has kinda destroyed the concept of being alone. People who suffer unjustly, or who are insecure/anxious about their environment can easily fall down a rabbit hole that never ends. It's the product of indiscriminate profiling and constant dubious marketing of "security" that people become disillusioned and paranoid with tech. The part that really fucks me up is, what if they're just expressing the most rational, conscious human reaction to the information superhellscape we all share? What if we only think the water's fine because we felt it boil slowly?
I own both a Cherokee and the model Liberty that replaced it. It's dubious whether or not the added height solved that rear door entry. That almost needs an extra long hinge to allow it to open out further, and even then the trim would still probably get in the way.

I just wish it got the I6 instead of that V6. Good V6, just doesn't communicate its power very well.

That independent front. Even though I don't like how it feels on the road at all. And the non serviceable sealed bearings are annoying. And the sealed upper ball joints. It did kind of set the standard for most modern trucks and heavier SUVs. Since it's not too much of a fatty with a relatively good wheel base you could generally get around off road pretty well stock.

That's the thing about Chrysler's engineering which I appreciate. They were quite good at picking fairly modern technologies to go with. When the parts bin dries up.

The revised Liberty and Nitro adds two inches to the wheel base. Actually looks like they lowered it a half inch too. It's debatable whether it had a significant increase there. Probably doesn't make much of a difference now these days when they replaced it with the Cherokee SUV in '13. Admittedly having seen a few videos of people throwing those rentals into at questionable rock climbing situations* I do tend to give those a pass on the "trail worthiness".

Flags are submitted on posts by individuals for reasons that are of their own choosing.[1] If enough users flag a story, it goes into the [dead][flagged] state you see. But unless the users who flagged it choose to chime in, there's no real way to be sure why it was flagged.

That said, if I had to guess, I'd say @Udo nailed it. The topic just doesn't seem like something that is going to lead to high-quality and interesting discussion. I mean, I wouldn't have flagged it myself (I'm pretty laissez-faire on that kind of thing) but I can see why others might have.

[1]: within reason. I don't know if it's been explicitly stated or not, but I suspect that if a user kept flagging stories for no good reason, they would lose their ability to flag, or have some other consequences. But that's just a guess, I have no insider knowledge or anything.
Sometimes you want it, sometimes you don't, so it needs to be in there, and sometimes you remove it yourself if your context of the moment doesn't want it.

And neither the want-it nor the don't-want-it case is such an outlier that you can disregard and not serve that case.

Sometimes you're talking to the user about general usage and the full path is a distracting detail and not the important part of the message.

Sometimes the full path and truthful invoked filename are an unnecessary security disclosure like telling a web viewer details about the server.

Sometimes the full path and truthful invoked filename is a necessary fact in debugging, or in errors, or even ordinary non-error logs that aren't public.

Why is everyone so extreme?

The guy at the start of the article went from being vegan for decades to now consuming "nine eggs and a handful of sausages for breakfast, a few quarter-pounders for lunch and whatever meat he can stack up on for dinner."

That's insane and I think gets to the heart of the issue - extreme diets.

I'd been a lacto-ovo vegetarian (lacto: milk, cheese and yogurt, ovo: egs) since 1990. Recently, my doctor wanted me to add fish for Omega 3. As I did that, I also realized adding grilled chicken would be smart - insane amounts of protein and very little animal fat. I'm still primarily a lacto-ovo vegetarian, I still enjoy many vegetarian meals, and now I've added fish and chicken to the mix. On the upside, I've dramatically increased the number of restaurants I can go to when going out with friends!

What I'm not doing is eating a pound or two of chicken every day along with lox for breakfast! I've just added some fish and chicken to my diet. I really don't understand the extremism.
