This is pretty common in the US, it generally goes under the name "community supported agriculture" (CSA) or "farm-shares". People usually pay a yearly fee or pay a monthly subscription and get a weekly box of produce and whatnot mostly from one or a few local farms.
>There are morons on the internet and there need to be ways to enforce a takedown for hate speech IMHO.

No. God no. This is functionally no different from every justification for censorship since the invention of the written word. How can the expansion and flexibility of the term "hate speech" not tip you off to the foolishness of this position?
Hi Christian, great to have you replying directly like this; I hope my criticism came across as constructive, since I'm super excited about and impressed with this work, as someone also chasing the dream of molecular nanotechnology.

Re: rigidity; I'm curious (apologies for not having read your papers) how you define "just enough" flexibility, and how your design tools take freely moving components into account. Would you agree with my intuitive feeling that there's a tradeoff between designability and functionality, and that your spiroligomer work sits between rationally designed protein structures (very hard problem) and Drexlerian molecular-scale gears and ratchets (similar, determinsitic design rules as in macroscopic systems)? Or, do you feel that anything protein "machines" can do, spiroligomer machines can do too?

I recently started a startup that has molecular nanotechnology as the end goal, and my thinking has been that the flexibility of proteins is an essential element in achieving the capability to design and manufacture with atomic precision, and that the concomitant complexity of the large numbers of degrees of freedom can be tamed with a data-driven approach leveraging machine learning algorithms. I'd love to hear if you have any thoughts on this, and how it relates to the spiroligomer approach.

Because big-endian matches how most humans have done it for most of history ("five hundred twenty one" is written "521" or "DXXI", not "125" or "IXXD"). Because the left-most bit in a byte is the high-order bit, so the left-most byte in a word should be the high-order byte. Because ordering two 8-character ascii strings can be done with a single 8-byte integer compare instruction (with the obvious generalizations). Because looking for 0x12345678 in a hex dump (visually or with an automatic tool) isn't a maddening task. Because manipulating 1-bit-per-pixel image data and frame buffers (shifting left and right, particularly) doesn't lead to despair. Because that's how any right-thinking person's brain works.

The one place I've seen little-endian actually be a help is that it tends to catch "forgot to malloc strlen PLUS ONE for the terminating NUL byte" bugs that go undetected for much longer on big-endian machines. Making such an error means the NUL gets written just past the end of the malloc, which may be the first byte of the next word in the heap, which (on many implementations of malloc) holds the length of the next item in the heap, which is typically a non-huge integer. Thus, on big-endian machines, you're overwriting a zero (high order byte of a non-huge integer) with a zero, so no harm done, and the bug is masked. On little-endian machines, though, you're very likely clobbering malloc's idea of the size of the next item, and eventually it will notice that its internal data structures have been corrupted and complain. I learned this lesson after we'd been shipping crash-free FrameMaker for years on 68000 and Sparc, and then ported to the short-lived Sun386i.

Correct. I wanted to qualify that you can't just 'trust encryption'. You must know what you're trusting, top to bottom; otherwise I would say that the trust is misplaced.

Solution: Remove all private ownership of vehicles in an urban and suburban area. Have reasonable leases for rural areas and specialized vehicles. Remit 99% of the urban vehicles to municipal level. Somewhere between (car2go/modo/etc) and taxis and busses.

I'm not sure why you're excluding driverless cars. It seems like a clever solution to me. And it leaves the door open to a car monoculture, which I think would help things a lot.

But I'm highly skeptical and think it'll never fly because people love THEIR cars. Even though they sit on the street 95% of the time. The fact is Henry Ford and the rest of the car-world founders never designed their systems to be sustainable. They were designed to make their makers money.
Yes, words really affect people that much, but not in the way you're thinking.

The problem that these laws are trying to address isn't (only) that some people might get their "panties in a bunch", but that those comments are often posted with the intention of promoting underground political movements with roots in the hateful ideologies that have provoked much of the violence in the past century. This isn't dead history, it's very much alive and growing, particularly since the crisis.

Now, I personally think free speech is a crucial value, and besides I don't think these laws will help much with the real problem, but I don't think it's helpful to characterize this is just some easily offended people trying to avoid reading bad words.
I personally knew an H-1B holder that was ratted out to their current employer by an unscrupulous HR department as punishment for not taking a poor offer and refusing to switch! His "punishment" lasted years and definitely affected his income. I say the term "indentured servant" definitely applies.
I like and use 1Password too. But maybe someone smarter than I can explain what Goldberg is trying to say re 1Password and the paper "On the Security of Password Manager Database Formats" [1]

[1] https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/comment/127847/...

One thing, I never liked about the 1Password file format was it's insistence on leaving certain fields unencrypted in order to allow the app to search using those fields. I've pushed for a "high security" preference option were all fields are encrypted to not avail.

I'm willing to trade off the search convenience but that's a choice that Agilebits should allow me to make.

Rather than take a z-score, which is symmetrical, one idea for a small improvement might be to use a critical value from a chi-squared distribution. Since it's asymmetric, it'll probably fit the distribution better and offer a higher signal-to-noise ratio.

EDIT: or actually, since this is a count, might as well go straight for the poisson distribution or negative binomial -- same idea.
A typical project where I work usually runs for 18months to 2 years. I wouldn't hire someone who changed jobs every year because IMO people who never stick around to see a project to completion have a tendency to make very short term project decisions and leave before it negatively impacts them.
> in the US, the accepted solution for speech you disagree with is more speech, not less.

Although, I respect the argument you have made here, you may find that this is a cultural difference between the US and the EU.

In the US, you have Fox News. Whatever you might think about the message Fox News is sending out, they control the message that people hear. In general, the media controls the narrative. A small number of media outlets are the real beneficiaries of free speech. In what way are their opponents able to speak?

A small number of powerful elites have unrestricted control over what speech people actually get to hear. This happens on scales large and small - it's notable that cults are protected by the First Amendment. And, this is the public's loss.

It's not too much better than that in the EU but at least we can prevent a television station or media baron or cult leader from broadcasting hate speech.
Playing Devil's advocate, just because the term "hate speech" is vague, doesn't mean the laws must be.
One person saying hateful things can be ignored. A whole mob cannot.

I've ignored mobs of people saying hateful things plenty of times (pro-lifers, 12 tribes, unions). Sometimes I stop to make fun of them, but as long as they don't get violent there's no problem.
I agree with you that they're a private company so they can do what they want with their business–I actually think private entities don't have enough rights on that front in many regards–but that doesn't mean that it isn't a conversation worth having, and or that they aren't unregulated entities–there are legal limits to what stores can do in their relationships with customers, how is this any different?

And walking in doesn't give implicit permission that I agree for them to store, analyze, sell, leak, publish or otherwise use that data however they please, in perpetuity. Are they allowed to disclose my presence to law enforcement without a warrant? Can they tell my health insurance provider that I spent an unusually long amount of time in the dessert aisle?

I'm sure a lawyer could argue (probably quite successfully) otherwise, but from a let's-address-the-problem-before-it's-fully-mature standpoint, these are the kinds of conversations we're supposed to be having right now.

Because only boring people get bored. And that's not just a pithy maxim. I find most situations people become "bored" in are just a moment of peace, a chance for creativity, a need for a challenge, and a chance to be alone with one's thoughts. Though, it's been found that many would rather be in acute physical pain than be alone with their own thoughts. I wonder why.

It would also be fascinating to know what sort of compromises if any are needed to allow this change to occur for operations in China.
And what would take their place?
"Ferguson and Schneier, in their book Practical Cryptography, have argued the opposite: that MAC-then-encrypt (or MAC-and-encrypt) is the "natural" order and that encrypt-then-MAC is overly complex. The sore point of encrypt-then-MAC is that you have to be careful about what you MAC: you must not forget the IV, or (in case the protocol allows algorithm flexibility) the unambiguous identifier for the encryption algorithm; otherwise, the attacker could change either, inducing a plaintext alteration which would be undetected by the MAC. To prove their point, Ferguson and Schneier describe an attack over an instance of IPsec in which the encrypt-then-MAC was not done properly."

Hot arrogance is that of the "rock star" who can't work well with others, leaves scathing code reviews, and who changes APIs by the hour and doesn't bother to tell anyone because everyone else should consider themselves privileged to work with his hot-shit code. The hot arrogance pattern tends to have a manic-depressive rhythm to it: 16-hour code binges (producing buggy, undocumented code, generating a lot of technical debt but impressing middle managers by just-barely completing a lot of features)

I feel like Michael and I have worked with the same people.
I just tried it, the whole process is a bit confusing. There's no store/location ("assembly") in my city (Germany), but my s/o lives in a somewhat more hip city which has a few.

To get any details for any individual assembly -- including finding out what's for sale! -- you need to register (full name, password and email). After registering, you still need to "join" each assembly individually before you see any goods, which feels a bit weird: I thought I was shopping for groceries, apparently I'm now in some sort of club. Or rather three clubs: the first two I tried had nothing for sale, which almost had me give up, but the third one does have some stuff:

A variety of vegetables, ranging from very to extremely expensive, think 2 to 4x of what you'd pay in a regular supermarket -- I guess they're artisinal or something. But the potatoes I bought earlier today were the same kind, also sourced from the region, and still cost half of what they're asking. They do have a huge variety of tomatoes, and I'd be happy to pay 3x the regular price for a tomato with an actual taste.

Apart from the veggies, that assembly also has wine and bread for prices that are average for good quality stuff, and overpriced chutneys and condiments, the kind you only buy as a gift.

This is not a terribly convincing display, to be honest, but I imagine the experience is very different in France, where they seem to have a much higher concentration of assemblies. Not completely different, though, since I can't imagine they have any chance of competing on price -- the regular food retail chain is bound to be ruthlessly efficient in that respect.

The whole concept has the huge downside that you have to pre-order AND be at the assembly location at a specific time, compared to the supermarket (no pre-order required, open all the time), the farmer's market (no pre-order required, open more often than any single assembly) or, I guess, web deliveries (though I don't intend to order a tomato from the web, ever).

That's good point. I'm sure she probably has that mentioned in her post.

I wouldn't take on the pessibimist's attitude like the author, but encourage folks to keep trying new ways of interviews and sharing what worked and what didn't on both the ends on the web.

Just like other software processes like Agile development, Code Review, Release process - the more open companies can be in sharing their strategies the more input others can add and experiment and who knows maybe come up with something a whole lot better than what has been the trend for the past 20 - 25 years started by Microsoft.

Balcony Collapse in Berkeley Kills 6 Irish Students
They missed one of my favorite (least-abusive) tactics, the paid trial project.

I.e., pick a real project that will take 10-40 hours. Pay them to do it as a contracting/interview project. That even works for someone who already has a job, because they can do it in the evening/weekends.

Asking me to do a 5 hour homework project is an insult, but a paid short-term contract is fair. (However, some people have employment contracts that forbid side work.)

However, even that is abusable, because the person might find a more-qualified friend to help them on the trial project, who wouldn't be helping out for real projects.

I read another interesting post by someone else (I think it was the Monsanto guy), who said "Don't filter people out at the phone interview stage, unless they really fail the phone interview." His reasoning is that you're selecting for people who sound good over the phone.

If .onion got more acceptance and browsers could, by default, connect to .onion sites, that'd be a nice first step, wouldn't it?

Incitement to violence shouldn't be a limit on free speech directly, but illegal in the way other things involving speech are illegal. Fraud, conspiracy, etc.
I don't know. I skimmed Gasti & Rasmussen 2012, and reread Goldberg's comment; unfortunately, I also just skimmed the source for for PasswordSafe V3, the "only one" that achieved "MAL-CDBA"; it appears to be cryptographically unsound (MAC-then-encrypt of an idiosyncratic AES-CBC).
Yes, save-session is good, but it has no idea how to handle multiple window panes. It just throws all your shit in one big ole pane and you're left to pick up the pieces.
Speech is too complicated to spell out things explicitly. There are too many ways to imply things ambiguously, particularly when you take context into account.

In practice what you do with hate speech laws is give the government tools to arrest people it doesn't like and ignore the sorts of speech you thought you were banning.
Firstly, yes! Typically what you're seeing are smaller companies where everyone on the team needs to be able to contribute and review everyone elses work. That's not to say that's all that's out there.

We have whole swaths of teams that just do backend development.

Basically, get in to a larger organisation that allows you to specialize a little more. Or go work for a company that just sells backend infrastructure / middleware :-)

>what's stopping someone from producing an all in one device: Desktop/phone/hobbyist micro-controller

I can't even physically imagine that device, any more than I can imagine a trailer/motorcycle/airplane. (Well, I mean I can - just slide your phone apart to expose not a keyboard, but GPIO pins, and have an ugly HDMI out on it that turns it into a "desktop" stick. If I stretch my mind I can think of exactly one really good use for these specifications: handing them off to design team on April 1st. Few things are as exciting as the maker movement, Apps and phone development, or as powerful as desktop computing. With this in mind, this December we will be announcing the Android Phone and PC Environment Stick with Hobbyist Integrated Telemetry. Positioned directly at the intersection of desktop computing, a sleek and powerful phone, and an undergraduate electrical engineering course, project APPESHIT will do more than you ever thought possible in a mobile desktop phone microcontroller...)

Clojure Repl in Excel
Cool project; interesting to try to visualize something like a personal relationship. It's not clear, though, if the "transit time" -- the period between when the message is sent and when it is read -- of the message is accounted for; that is, all the message "comets" seem to move at the same speed, and in many cases the recipient appears to fire off a new message before the incoming message has even arrived.

Maybe there are some external circumstances that frequently caused both users to simultaneously message one another, but I would have expected to see more of a clear back-and-forth pattern where each message provokes the following response.
Just to follow on with the OPs question, I don't understand it as well.

Given this example and considering yourself as a self-utility-maximizing-agent (just as a company considers itself), why would it be bad to walk away from 1 job to another when you are being rewarded with some financial gain that warrants it?

Eg. Working for a sweatshop earning $20 an hour and then getting a chance to work for a high-end firm that offers remote-working at $80 an hour?

Are you that bad for leaving?
