You can't have "privacy-preserving advertising". Either you track users to ensure ads get displayed (because the places you'd serve the ads wouldn't serve them if they could/claim more ad views than happened), or you have no clients (because their ads aren't displayed). Broadcast works for ads because the clients can verify that you are broadcasting (and it means you can disconnect the group serving the ads from those who verify "views").

I wasn't aware of CBOR as I have yet to come across a project that needed an alternative to MessagePack or even MassagePack (only considered using it once in the past). However, based on my experience on various projects, if you have to get approvals and buy-ins from architects, legal, and security teams, using something that has an RFC helps you win those battles regardless of the technical merits of a RFC or non-RFC backed project/tool/protocol.

At first its hands on help, after you know what people need to get working with it, pop the common things into a doc and point people at it when they ask for help. adjust doc if insufficient.

Ask them how best you can support them.

A classic machinist apprentice task is to take a rough steel cube and make the sides flat and smooth using a hand file. That teaches you how steel behaves and can be worked. Life was slower a century ago.

High school students can learn CNC with smaller machine tools. There are little desktop CNC machines in the US$1000 range. You can cut aluminum, brass, and plastics, but not steel.

Why is that unacceptable to say to women, but acceptable to say to men? When people say that to women they call them sexist, but the same people say that to men themselves, so obviously there is sexism here.

> 250 years ago George Washington

His wealth was mainly in very illiquid land. A lot of it was near worthless unless US won the war since it was beyond the line drawn by the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and white settlers were generally banned from settling there.

Otherwise like many landholders back in the day he was semi-broke and had limited access to cash.

Of course after the war of course he was both compensated for his expenses and got “his” land in Ohio (more or less)
so how does this align with your opinion/idea that a stock market crash today would reduce inequality? more likely the same thing would just happen again.

Not only complexity per se, I'm firmly on the camp of Byung-Chul Han's take on the lack of unifying narratives in the contemporary age. Living through the information age I do subscribe to his views of information being only additive, incapable and incomplete to form overarching narratives for us to hinge on.

Recommend the read of "Psychopolitics", "The Crisis of Narration", and "In the Swarm", those books eloquently described feelings I've had since the social media boom of mid-2010s. We are living through a data totalitarianism, missing overarching concepts in the noise of never-ending additive data that never concludes into a larger concept for us to grasp, just pure bombardment of more information without having any respite to put all of that together in a sense of deeper knowledge, to understand the world we are actually living in.
I don't think FOIA is broken, it just needs some tweaks. One of the tweaks OP is involved with is changing the FOIA law to allow for the type of request he made. This is the only way to fix the poorly-decided Ill. S. Ct. case now.

Hmmm, I wonder if there are similar tricks for newer hard drives. I have a 2010 iMac that has a seized or "otherwise non-booting" hard drive, just randomly wouldn't boot one day. I can only guess there is a mechanical problem like this, because those aluminum iMacs were notorious for running too hot internally and basically overheating the HDD. Same problem on my wife's 2008 iMac, that machine burned through 3+ HDDs due to the heat issue.
No, not as far as I know. And definitely no tax-deductible way to do it.
If the Universe is computable, then human thinking is computable. All due respect to Penrose for his stellar achievements, but frankly the implications of Turing Complete, the halting problem, Church/Turing hypothesis and the point of Godel's Theorem seem to be things he does not fully understand.

I know this sounds cheeky but we all have brains that are good at some things and have failure modes as well. We are certainly seeing shadows of Human-type fallability in neural nets, which somehow seem to have a lot of similarities to human thinking.

Brains evolved in the physical world to solve problems and help organisms survive, thrive, and reproduce. Evolution is the product of a massive search over potential physical arrangements. I see no reason why the systems we develop would operate on drastically different premises.
Top 10% is actually a lot of people!

That is the argument made by Piketty in his book.

I don't get it, is there priviledge escalation attacks for windows? I haven't logged in as an administrator since 2005 or so.

We know we can hit the windows key and type "sandbox"? (May need to "install" it from windows features.) Right?

There are software packages that let you snapshot the files and checksums, then compare again after you've run your test program / installer / whatever.

You can make this software "portable" so you don't have to install it every time. You can copy and paste into the sandbox from your windows desktop and drives.

Obviously this isn't sanboxie or nix or an immutable file system or anything, but let us not pretend it's 1996 and "GoBack.exe" hasn't been invented yet.
> Everything about CBOR is uncool. It was designed by a committee. It reeks of RFCs. Acronyms are lame. Saying "SEE-BORE" is like licking a nickel. One of the authors is "Carsten Bormann", which makes the name feel masturbatory.

Carsten Bormann was my professor for Rechnernetze (computer networks). He is also one of the authors of GNU Screen. I mentioned to him that I use tmux, and he asked what was wrong with screen :). His wife is also in the same IT department at the university, where she was the dean. She helped me sort out a problem regarding my course selections, a very kind person. I think he is a decent teacher and knowledgeable in his field, but if you look at his work over the past decades, it's evident that he has a tendency to author RFCs that are rarely used.
> no longer having to pay taxes to the British for the economic output of his slaves.

This suggests that taxing the slaves would have better helped the poor. Was it helping them before the war? Were the poor suddenly worse off because of the revolution?

HN is binary. If not laissez-faire capitalism, lets talk about communism.

Let's talk about non-hypothetical real world, like Nordic model or Europe in general. Capitalism produces growth, redistribution (free healthcare, education, etc. spreads the wealth).
The CSV CV strategy.
Money is relative though. If we stopped printing money today, the dynamics of wealth can still exist so long as we keep the delta between "Kinda well off" and "well off" relatively fixed. I have to be careful here, because I'm not arguing against Capitalism. I'm merely pointing out the infinite nature of this thing we call a "wealth gap".

There's two ways to stay the richest man in the world:

a) Get more money.

b) Stop people from getting more money than you.

And I suppose c) Do both. If that's what you are about.

A lot of people characterize corporations as a sociopath because it expresses a lot of clinical markers. I think if you frame the economy as war, you'll find similar markers. People are exhausted, shell shocked, constantly insecure, attrition or the feeling of attrition (feeling of no progress). PTSD from this everlasting war.

>> Obviously MessagePack is what cool kids would use.

What’s “cool” is not important but being “cool” _can_ mean there is a larger ecosystem around it. It can also be a proxy for how well your stuff will interact with other systems and how many people you can hire that will just know how it works without having to learn another new thing.

On the other hand, none of that applies to this person’s personal project. And in that context, I think your comment stands.

I was very surprised by the holiday budget. Less than 2500$ for 80% of the population? Does that mean that no one from these 80% stays in a Hotel or AirBnB for longer than a week with their family? No one travels overseas, or if so, only every 5 years or so? 2000$ is what you can easily spend on plane tickets for a family of 4.

They can - if you write the sandbox and adapt applications to it. What I meant is that the sandbox should be built-in into a distribution.

Also, I did some research and the sandbox is difficult to implement because you need to stub literally every facility (because Linux was not designed for sandboxing). For example, I had to write an emulation of /proc in Python using FUSE because many apps rely on reading files there but granting them full access leaks too much information about your system and is not secure. Now think how much time you need to stub every API, including undocumented APIs like /sys, ioctls and so on.

From a socital stability point of view, i think it still matters. Too much inequality (especially when combined with lack of class mobility) leads to class resentment which is bad for sociatal stability. Humans get jealous even if their wealth increased in absolute terms.

one of these possibilities seems more likely than the other if you ask me.
