For me it's the result of pent-up anger from the popularity of drywall and particle board here in the US.

It's not a big leap to go from complaining about the furniture and the walls being made from what seems like highly compressed dust to also complaining that underneath it all is a bunch of sticks.

It so often feels like a house of cards.
I've always wondered about this. My wife always tells me to close the garage when folks come to the house to give us bids on jobs so they don't see the cars. Not that a Tesla indicates wealth but I guess it indicates something? I tell her she's paranoid... maybe she's not.

The higher frequency of launches seems likely to have a big impact on reliability. It's no different than deploying once per day vs once per month. The more you do it, the more edge cases you hit and the more reliable you can make it.

SpaceX also has a simplification streak: the Raptor engines being the canonical example. Lower complexity generally means less unexpected failure modes.
> Has this solution been audited?

Only insofar as everybody that I’ve asked over the years has failed to find anything wrong with it. But no formal verification has been done.

> In particular, is it safe to replay attacks by actors listening in to the network traffic?

Yes, it is safe, since we make sure to only use TLS with PFS.

> Also from the diagram it looks like the secret key is stored unencrypted on the server, or do I read it wrong?

No, the secret is stored encrypted on the server, encrypted with a key which only the client ever has.

Indeed I forgot Stack-Up!
So there is the Synapse version that is required to get the big money contracts and the Synapse that is pretty inconsequential to the business except as a testing playground. - Makes it difficult to see how "Element is fully committed to community Synapse" can be true in the long run. Does this not spread the development effort & focus even thinner across these projects? And would reduced memory & cpu requirements not benefit all deployment sizes and not just nation-scale ones? It feels very much as a pivot towards a closed stack.

Basically houses in Japan are treated like cars -- as something that doesn't appreciate in value as in most places but rather depreciate over time. Some of this is maybe cultural from the time when houses in Japan were literally constructed with paper.

You're not convinced, that's fine. You're open either possibility and asking for proof. To prove something happens at least sometimes I need at least say 2 anecdotes, which I could scrounge from some forum. But you have already decided it's misanthropic without proving that either, you are just rigging the game to play the fuck fuck game where you want it proven to some level of scientific rigor beyond what's quickly communicated on a tech bullshitting forum, while simultaneously claiming misanthropy without the level of rigor you demand for claiming so.

There are claims made by divorced people. Sometimes is not any exact percentage. The peer reviewed studies have conclusions like "the results [ of studying post earnings loss divorce ] are, however, consistent with role theories, in which the husband’s attractiveness declines if he fails to fulfill a traditional role as a breadwinner."

What would be hard to believe is that people _dont_ sometimes use the courts to lock into income streams they are loosing. That borders on extraordinarily improbable.
According to this article[0] about Stephen Miller's meeting with Zuckerberg, Zuck blamed Sandberg for the encouraging self-expression in the workplace (and promised to change things, which he did).

I have lost what little respect I had left for Zuck.

I understand companies not wanting to antagonize the government who might enact policies that impact them negatively. And I'm okay with the argument that the DEI initiatives at companies went too far in an effort to go along with what they perceived as public opinion and needed a measure of course correction. But the level of groveling going on here is truly disgusting.

Zuck better enjoy his $billions, because he won't find satisfaction in much else.

That seems incredibly dangerous. As you said the wind can pick them up and cause an inferno.

If you want to do controlled fires IN ADDITION to the fire suppression system, you can. If fires are the only way to neutralize the fuel, at least control them, and don’t allow any uncontrolled fire to spread and get out of hand. The controlled burns would be planned in advance, done on good days and isolated from spreading too far. Of course those burns would be excluded from the fire suppression system.

But it seems reckless to just “let the fires spread”. You need actual control over fires if you want to have any chance of avoiding disasters.

Imagine you did this in any other area where you're in charge of a system. For example you run a forum and refuse to implement any sort of moderation or spam control. You claim we shouldn't put anything in place to clamp down on it and need to let things run their course naturally, because sometimes risking spam is necessary to get really good updates about stuff by experts. The proper thing to do, then, is to intercept spam from spreading as much as possible but then carve out a whitelist of exceptions. Not to simply not have an anti-spam system at all.

Yes it does. You have a customs desk at every entry port, complete with a “goods to declare” sign. If you buy stuff online, you’ll also have to pay up if the products are taxed.

You can learn about those here: https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/customs-4/calculation-...

We also have VAT (sales tax) which is levied on top of the import duties (so the tax is taxed).

There are even restrictions on the quantities of some products you are allowed to carry between member states, such as alcohol and tobacco, mostly because taxes on those vary by jurisdiction.

Its Army Reserves. Yes, I am already locked in for a pension. I am not a civilian. I am completely interchangeable with full time military, evidenced by my 5 military deployments.

How does a person get such a job? They join the military.

When I joined cyber wasn't a thing, because I am old. I joined the first cyber organization shortly after it formed and was a member for about a decade. I was promoted out of that organization and shortly thereafter a formal cyber organization was created, not just a few units. By that point I had become an officer doing more generic systems integration and physical communication infrastructure things.

The biggest difference between the military side versus the corporate developer side is that military tends to run towards problems. The goal is have everything working so that you reach steady state and don't have to do high visibility work. High visibility is bad, because it suggests you are failing something important. Corporate developers, on the other hand, tend to be either trend chasers that want high visibility yet low effort work until things fall apart and then they run away or are long term employees that want boring steady constant employment.

School for me was a gladiator academy. Useful for producing gladiators I suppose but at the expense of any genuine intellectual curiosity or love of learning. Thankfully I had an informal opportunity to stay after school when the budding gladiators all went home to torment small animals or whatever it was they did, when I could sit in peace and play on the school’s Apple II. That opened my eyes to an entirely different world, which I now have the privilege of inhabiting.

Some of my siblings liked school, and my parents were wise enough to make the homeschool/government school decision on a child by child basis. I’m very grateful that they had the courage to make that decision in my case against fierce opposition by all of polite society.
This is a great outcome. These types of data interchanges ossify innovation and lock in policy. Insurance is supposed to share risk -- there is too much noise to microsegment. "Big Brother" doesn't have to be only a government, and the outcomes of using this sort of information is solely punitive for a 3rd party forced into the interchange.

The US really needs to strengthen the legal foundations for people's right to privacy.
There is already such a thing as capital gains taxes, which would tax rentier income. Most rich people become incredibly wealthy by taking risks, a lot of risks ordinary people don't want to take. So why do you want to take something from those people?

Instead of taxing successful people additionally with a wealth tax, how about creating new opportunities so there are more wealthy people that pay regular taxes, have employees that pay taxes and so on.

The definition of hard work has nothing to do with a wealth tax. But let's play that game; is it more stressful to lead a company 24/7 and make sure your employees get their paycheck even during bad or turbulent times or simply showing up 9-5 as a dishwasher?
I see, the previous commenter stated the opposite :). Anyway, both numbers are > 1.

If you buy poor software instead of good software (yes, branding, IP and whatever but that's just even more reason for companies not to make it good), complaining doesn't help does it. Commercial software is made to be sold and if it sells enough that's all company executives care about. As long as enough people buy it, it will continue to be made.

Company devs trying to get more time/resources to improve performance will be told no unless they can make a realistic business case that explains how the expense of increased focus on performance will be financially worth in terms of revenue. If enough people buy poor software, improving it is not business smart. Companies exist to make money not necessarily to make good products or provide a good service.

I understand your point but you need to understand that business execs don't care about that unless it significantly impacts revenue or costs in the present or very near future.
This feels unfair if it's implying I'm lying for still taking a 15m discovery call. #nocalls is about skipping the dance, not all communication.

Most of the comments here only make sense under a model where AI isn't going to become extremely powerful AI in the near term.

If you think upcoming models aren't going to be very powerful, then you'll probably endorse business-as-usual policies such as rejecting any policy that isn't perfect or insisting on a high bar of evidence before regulating.

On the other hand, if you have a world model where AI is going to provide malicious actors with extremely powerful and dangerous technologies within the next few years, then instead of being radical, proposal like this start appearing extremely timid.
Insurance needs to be not-for-profit or a government enterprise. Physical projects and infrastructure should not be started until risk is assessed. Speculators and go-go finance has ought to be constrained. As for myself, I am choosing alternative ways to plan, finance, build, and manage infrastructure project. The current systems is a non-starter for most people under 50.
Sometimes, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of a game, only to realize it’s not as fulfilling as I initially thought. With https://buffalokingmegawaysdemo.com/ I had a similar experience. While it offers a lot of potential, I couldn’t help but feel like there was something missing as I played. It's a reminder that not all games or experiences are going to be worth pushing through, and it’s okay to step back and evaluate whether it’s really what you want. Sometimes, it’s better to try something new than to force yourself to finish something that doesn’t truly click.

Both views have valid points. I guess it depends on how quickly you need to get something up and running. Battle-tested libraries definitely have their pros, but then again the surface area for possible bugs is also greater. For sure, most of my code in Rust for instance is quite complex and I wouldn't be able to do it without external crates. That said, in most projects I end up with 300+ indirect dependencies, most of which I don't even know anything about. It adds to compile time, final binary size and most importantly, I'm building my software on top of a huge stack of stuff I don't really know. I guess the higher level we go, the less we can avoid this anyway. Nevertheless some of my points don't necessarily apply to interpreted languages.

I’m starting to think he is like Ulysses S. Grant. There were people in Grant’s administration that just took advantage of his lack of experience. It’s harder to feel bad for Trump since he talks so much shit, but he’s also an old man that doesn’t know anything about tech. Now he has a bunch of tech bros around him filling him with information he can’t assess.

Grant’s presidency was one of the most scandal ridden presidencies ever, all because he was uninformed.

Trump is mixing a blend of Grant and Jackson’s presidency (known for mass cronyism).

It depends how your product is distributed. Is it a static binary or a website where users don’t interact with the source code? Then dependency updates are less important.

Is it an open source package where every user inherits your dependencies? Then dependency updates are important.

The immediate benefits (or lack thereof) all come down to user impact. The longer term benefits are a balancing act between opportunity cost (what could you be developing instead of updating?) and tech debt (if you don’t update frequently, you’ll eventually need to do a really painful one).

I’d say the most important thing is making sure your project will build successfully in five years even if you do
no updates. Make sure all dependencies are cached, versions pinned, lockfiles used, etc. As long as your build process is deterministic, and you control when updates happen, then “when to update” is a manageable problem. You get into trouble when your tools are pulling in minor updates to dependencies just because the author pushed a new version. Don’t do that. Pin your versions.
At atmospheric pressure, yes.

But up at 140km altitude, the pressure is so low that I don't think even pure oxygen would lead to combustion.
The problem is that in American home-buying, insurance is often compulsory for a purchase with a mortgage. This makes sense from the bank's perspective--they want to insure their collateral. However, the system doesn't really have an answer for "what happens when their collateral becomes uninsurable?" Even though lenders have force-placed insurance, even those insurers can deny coverage in certain circumstances (e.g. flood plain). This puts insurers in a position to de-facto foreclose on not just one person's house, but swaths of houses in regions they (as an industry) deem risky.

I'm not sure what the answer is here other than forcing insurers to insure (which would raise premiums for everyone), or creating meta-insurance of some kind (insurance against becoming uninsured).

> In fact, many of those authors called it a genocide before this war.

That's because Ralph Lemkin, who coined the term "Genocide" in the wake of the Shoah, identified 10 stages, and mass extinction event is the final stage. He posited that once mass extinction commences it almost impossible to stop without incurring a significant cost to whoever wants to stop it (and so, he implored powers-that-be recognize it before the event & not after): https://www.genocidewatch.com/tenstages

> If not for Israel and the Jews, we'd have world peace - at least that's what you'd think if you listened to these groups.

I know. And it is totally absurd like you say. Racists (antisemites in this case) will never make any sense. Historians specializing in genocide / Holocaust, on the other hand, are experts in their fields.

> Where is the criticism for Muslims planning terror attacks against the west, and against individual Jews globally?

You are joking? ALL Muslims are vilified by many in almost every Western country and in countries where Muslims are a significant minority (like India). Like antisemitism, anti-Muslim racism is every which where.

> the Muslims trying to destroy Israel

Unsure why you blame ALL 2b Muslims. I mean, you're no different than those antisemites who blame the Jewish people for all of world's problems. As a test, replace "Muslims" with "Jews" in your sentences and see if they read antisemitic to you.

Besides, Pakistan, a Muslim country, has 300+ nuclear warheads and Inter-continental ballistic missiles capability; and if ALL Muslims without exception, like you say, are rabidly hell-bent on destroying Israel, what are the Pakistanis waiting for? Please, snap out of this Islamophobic hysteria.
