I think the concern is more about man-in-the-middle attacks. Even then, though, doesn't apt verify the hashes of downloaded packages?

I took it as a metaphor. The argument makes perfect sense in that light. Engage with the argument rather than its presentation, and you might just move the conversation forward.

If only a small fraction of the population has the organ, then yeah, possibly.

Does the fact that the RIAA is packed with stodgy, old corporate lawyers who most likely lack even superficial understanding of the term "version control" lack appropriate explanatory power?

I wonder what this means for mixers which themselves run on blockchains (specifically thinking of Ethereum's Tornado.cash). Would they go after the developers who wrote the code and published it on the blockchain? Or would they go afte

I actually very much would like the ability to do that.

Wait, how do I reconcile "always be knolling" with "avoid premature optimization"?

Not really. Did you read the issue thread? He's enforcing the spec. If anything, that improves accessibility since that's what specs are for, maximizing accessibility.

He's not wrong, though. He's following the spec, and users are asking him to violate it to be compatible with programs which also violate it. If everyone just followed the spec, however, colors would work beautifully for everyone

Just a heads up: sites built with Wix and Squarespace come with tracking by default, even if you don't use it, and it's impossible to disable.

This post is about Tribblix, the Slackware of Illumos, a well-supported fork of OpenSolaris. The ecosystem is alive and well.

Whenever I read Vitalik's work, I find myself convinced that all of society and its various problems can be boiled down to incentives and their alignment or misalignment.

Yes and yes. GPT-2 is pretty capable of this as well. You can try it yourself here: https://bellard.org/textsynth/

I wonder if medical tourism provides a capitalist solution to the healthcare problem in the US. Could it be cheaper for a health insurance company to pay for flights to and from other countries along with procedures in those countries? Ther

Regulation often does more harm than good, and I'd agree with you if intellectual property didn't exist. Apple's entire business model rests on copyright and patents which make it impossible for competition to challenge their

Why haven't analog circuits taken off yet in mobile computing and other spaces? They seem great for things like machine learning and possibly superior to traditional digital circuits. What are the trade-offs?

I don't think there's a better stack in all of scientific computing than Julia + Jupyter Books. Lovin' it.
