This is wild. Researchers are simply pointing out how bad the security system is for the City of Columbus, OH.

> On Aug. 13, Mayor Andrew Ginther said the data stolen by hackers was either corrupted or encrypted, meaning it was likely useless. Hours later, Goodwolf told 10TV that wasn't true and he showed what kind of personal information he was able to access.

lol - the entire city leadership needs to be recalled. They get caught with their pants down (no security), lie to the public (“it’s encrypted bro!1! trust me I’m a politician!!), lies get rightfully called out, and their response is to pour gas on the fire with this silly lawsuit funded by the local tax payers.
What if you're a public figure, maybe one critical of the government and you're still tweeting while in Brazil?

Seems pretty easy to enforce to me regardless of the technical ways people circumvent it.

Very exciting! I wonder what the first set of motivating applications are and what kind of performance gains are they expecting.

I don't think it is about judicial systems and what not. The judge is only able to take dictatorial powers in Brazil because the society as a whole is not in a position to fight against it and kind of accepts it as something unfixable (lots of people might even support it). I doubt the Brazilian Constitution gives him such vast power.

The "people stay inside, which makes crime rates lower" doesn't make sense. A mugger out to make some cash is going to hit SOMEONE, whether there are 2 or 20 people out walking in a town.

Staying in may increase your personal safety but won't decrease the crime rate. In fact in a "prisoner's dilemma" kind of way it probably makes the empty streets more dangerous.
Yes very nice to see a court acting as judge jury and executioner all at once and fining random VPN users random amounts without needing boring things like law. Maybe Plato was right and philospher kings work best.

> In the US the more mainstream position is to support Israel

The lobbyists for the military/industrial complex are numerous and exceedingly well-paid.

> That's why both major parties come out in support of Israel.

Which is how and why campaign contributions have become a systemic evil - it chains the platforms of politicians to the desires of the wealthy and powerful, thereby eliminating any ability for politicians to “do the morally/ethically correct thing”.

Most of the western world was philosophically “on Israel’s side” because of the unrelenting evil of Hamas -- Hamas does’t care if every single Palestinian dies, so long as they “win”. Plus, genocide of the entire Israeli population has been baked into Hamas’ DNA from the beginning. But with this war, Israel has gone all “hold my beer and watch this”, and is making a legitimately successful bid at becoming the materially greater evil.

It’s an ESH situation, with the Palestinian people caught in the crossfire.

In what way? Musk decides what's OK and not OK on twitter.

Twitter isn't a platform to promote democracy, it promotes what Musk wants.

Twitter has turned into hot garbage. For years my feed was pretty clean as it's almost exclusively tech. Gave it up recently as it was clogged with right-wing conspiracy, odd videos and random made up AI young women randomly following me occasionally.
Ops, make that “fit for solar”
This is the way a lot of people feel lately, and it's nothing to do with being a dinosaur. It's a whole movement.

I'm wary though, because lots of things start nicely but fail to manage complexity of even a moderately sized app, and everything grows over time. I feel like a lot of people are going to rediscover why we started making everything a SPA.

There have been a lot of approaches on the frontend over the years and it's been my job too many times to clean up where that approach eventually collapsed as the app grew larger or ran into limitations. I am looking for the upgrade path -- I want to start simple but not risk an entire rewrite when the complexity exceeds that pattern. To date, very few of these things work well enough together to consider it seriously. (htmx+react would work fine but you'd pay a large cost for upgrading a single component, like rewriting it and a chunk of new runtime code. And if everything eventually gets more complex, somebody starts asking "why we have two ways of doing things?? We should consolidate!" And the rewrite cycle continues...)

It's a balance between hard-won experience and becoming too wary of new things. It's hard to see new frameworks completely based on events, for example, and not cry does nobody remember that we tried it already? Having a glob of untyped context in Angular v1 was always bad, and I refused it even when it made me look like a dinosaur back then. But React was a great pattern for complex code, and I immediately switched to that. I would switch to something tomorrow if it kept those good parts, like handling complex apps, but didn't have to render everything a minimum of two times server and client. Maybe a new winner will emerge.

Experience is still good to have. It doesn't === dinosaur. Instead, it has saved me a lot of misadventures.

On paper, the Congress is perfectly capable of removing any supreme court minister for any kind of wrongdoing. They can't exactly reverse the decisions, but they can make them ineffective too.

On practice, well, they are clearly above the other powers, and only the supreme court plenarium can do anything about the individual judges.
I am not sure anything that ends in punishing Elon Musk is going to deter a socialist.
QubesOS is significantly more secure than the individual VMs. The vulnerability that the OS is compromised at the distribution level is a very special case. First of all, if Debian is compromised at source, it would be everyone that is compromised not just Qubes. This will be big news.

Qubes VMs are ephemeral. If they are compromised by the user installing malware, obviously the malware is jailed to that VM. It will also be cleared from that VM in the next reboot.

Qubes implements strictly separate compartments. Like, your password manager has no business to be in a VM that runs your media server.

Pull up a list of all known BR notable people on twitter. See if they tweeted anything since the ban was in effect. Fine them and rake in the $$$.

The govt probably WANTS it to be circumvented.
That was not the point I was making. In any case your point applies to defying the monarch too, which might be more applicable here.
A quick google search on Mike Benz came up with his recent interview by Tucker Carlson titled "The Deep State's Step-by-Step Plan to End Free Speech".

You know Tucker Carlson is such a big fan of Putin, he was the only western journalist allowed to interview him, which he did. Just listen to the interview, they both just spew fascistic nonsense for two hours. Tucker desperately tries to have Putin condemn the American "wokeness", while the later doesn't listen and lectures Carlson in a "blood and soil" rewriting of 20th century history.

So yeah, I don't think anyone should be taking their informations from either of those clowns.

> which is proven to be impossible.

'Technically' intractable problems are solvable just fine in a way that is almost as useful as solving them completely if you can achieve one of two things:

* Reliably identify when you've encountered an unsolvable case (usefulness of this approach depends on the exact problem you're solving).

or

* Reduce the probability of unsolvable cases/incorrect solutions to a level low enough to not actually happen in practice.

'Technically' GUIDs are impossible, reliable network communication (TCP) is impossible, O^2 time complexity functions will grow to unusably large running times - but in practice all of these things are used constantly to solve real problems.

Both are owned by Musk. I know that is too simple, but that is relatively common in Brazil (to easily link companies because they share owners or shareholders)
That's ridiculous. You think Elon Musk goes around reading people's tweets and deciding what he wants or not? Or trained an AI model to only allow content that suits him?

The guy literally gets community-noted every once in a while. It's free speech.
You don't actually need to have the "adjust priority of element" operation to implement Dijkstra or A-star. The standard description of the algorithm always include this, but it is not actually necessary: instead of adjusting element priority, you just push duplicate vertices with new priorities on to the queue, and when you pop the queue, you just check if you've already seen this vertex before. If so discard it and pop the next one. The algorithm still works, since the first time you pop a vertex that is the shortest path, and the rest of the time you can ignore it. Simple to implement and plenty fast. There's no difference in time complexity: you have to consider the "duplicate" case at some point, you're just pushing to a later time when you pop it from the queue.

You might argue that is wasteful of space pushing these duplicates, but your other options are either to graft this functionality on to a normal priority queue in which case you're using that space anyway, or to use a much more complex and usually slower kind of priority queue with this operation naturally (e.g. Fibonacci heaps). The space wasted is quite small in practice, since the only time this happens is if multiple nodes on the frontier points to the same element, but most nodes ("in practice") have small degree of incoming paths. The benefit of being able to use standard (and very fast!) priority queues without this weird operation is well worth it.

In my experience of implementing Dijkstra and A-star a couple of dozen times (I like Advent of Code problems!) this has always been the better way to do it. I mean, I haven't put Dijkstra/A-star into production or anything (I don't work for Google Maps or whatever), but in my experience this is the simplest and fastest way in practice to implement these algorithms.
I am glad to see Brazil is not afraid of these billionaires. If only the US could start enforcing laws the same, no matter what your worth or who you are.

I wonder if Brazil is finally going after corruption that I believe exists there.

>“implement technological barriers to prevent the use of the X app by users of the iOS and Android systems” and to block the use of VPN applications.

I wonder how they can selectivity enforce the VPN part of the ban ?

Thank you very much for posting this document.

From what I'm reading, it also orders Apple and Google to DELETE VPN apps already installed on users' phones!

(I think this has been done in the past, in Brazil)
Reminds me of a story on Dark Net Diaries. Researchers are hired by state to do physical penetration testing at some court house in the middle of nowhere. Pentesters get caught. Pentesters comply with security and local PD and explain situation.

However some other asshole shows up to the scene claiming jurisdiction (county sheriff?), raises hell, makes a random call (county officials?), then arrest the pen testers on the spot for B&E.

State leave them out to dry in some county jail cell. I think the state ultimately ended up getting embarrassed and tried to sue the company and pen testers for some civil damages and pursue criminal charges.

In the end, they end up getting dropped and reputation of pen testers were ruined for a period of time.
Sure but I'm asking in theory, what is the power of justices according to their constitution.
The listed VPNs are just examples. The order to take down VPN apps affects every VPN provider.
As amusing as this is, I could not tell you offhand how to express 121 as a sum of fibonacci numbers. I mean I could figure it out, but I could also either multiply by 1.5 (121mi ~180km) or by 2/3 (121km ~80mi) and it would probably be a little bit faster than the fibonacci way.
Maybe people just don't realize how little pain you can feel with a needle. I switched from the old formulation of humira to the new one (smaller needle and no citrate) and the difference is night and day. Before, I was dreading it every time (though objectively it didn't hurt that much), and after I sometimes don't even feel the needle.
Laws don't even seem to be applicable at this point. It is one supreme court justice that is issuing court orders as if he were a king.
I wonder what all the walled garden lovers have to say about this. Would have been nice to be able to install apps and VPNs on your phones without Apple's or the government's ability to block it right? Or are you still going to stick to the "it's for our own safety" party line?
Tornado Cash Is One Step Away from Full Censorship (and a Solution)
On the other hand, Japan is currently rolling out a digital ID scheme which is probably years ahead of the US.

I don't think the fax machine or floppy disk anecdotes are by themselves evidence of any larger trend – most countries I'm familiar with have both systems firmly stuck in the past as well as those that have kept up with time.

A good part of the "stuck in the past" technologies are probably nothing much other than "first-mover disadvantage" (where organizations just stick with the first iteration/solution to a given problem and grow so used to that specific implementation that it's never quite worth it to adopt what would now be state of the art).
Currently, there are about 50% of Post-Merge OFAC Compliant Blocks on Ethereum, which means there’s a half of the whole network that doesn’t want to deal with Tornado Cash transactions. For now, they only block such transactions from their own blocks but are still okay to build on top of blocks that include them. However, if pressed to do so by governments or out of an abundance of caution, they might adopt stricter censorship and start refusing to build on top of such blocks as well. That’s the one step needed for Tornado Cash to be fully censored.
that already exists, it’s called doing research chemicals. You can do survodutide or whatever other next-gen drug right now and “do your own research” on the supply chain and efficacy and safety. They’re everywhere and functionally the FDA can’t stop you.

should that be officially legitimized in any way by the FDA? fuck no.

As soon as you break down the barrier in any way, companies will spring up exploiting it and promising miracle cures etc. even if you want to do RCs the FDA keeping a minimal wall there benefits you.

This would be more applicable if Brazil had a monarch after 1889. Calling a judge that you don’t like a king does not make him one.
Smaller nodes (generally) translate to lower power consumption, more transistor density, and faster transistor switching speeds.

It allows for an architecture to deepen pipelines, add registers, add cache, and pull off tricks like SMT.

That's somewhat my point, the limiting factor for ISA performance is the physics surrounding the transistors.

The big thing i see missing from long ago times is a real sense of community and an all in one site ( article , forums etc). They try and some are decent but there just isnt the connection and i dont think that will ever return. I think reddit and the like sucked all that away from sites and the audience is much much broader so i feel they lose some of that “likemidedness” i dunno im just old and cant really relate to the younger “techies” of today.
I'm sure that if Xwitter dispatched a "legal representative" to North Korea who has full moderation powers and will agree to be subjected to anything that a North Korean court orders, even an unblocking of it in NK could be negotiated. Does that mean that it is Musk's fault that his site remains blocked in that country, too? Conversely, is it actually normal for countries to personally punish legal representatives for actions that their employer performed, even if they did not have the power to prevent those actions?
