Actually, that is 100% the natural conclusion of capitalism. It doesn’t care about states or boundaries, all you really need is the ability to control capital.

Has WSJ released any figures as to the prevalence with this or are they just presenting individual accounts? If I’ve gotten counterfeits they were certainly of the quality i was expecting from the brand name and I really don’t care, that’s

Maybe online, but I don’t see many products at best buy worth counterfeiting. Do you have an example?

Wow so all I need to do to make the app store viable is have a brand worth more than anything else on the app store.

Sure but then you have to deal with a real estate market resulting in irrational collective decision making. Also, by all observation, the market is restricting the freedom of people to live under a roof in their own city.

Sure, but presumably they’re both more expensive than fresh produce, which has a fraction of the carbon emissions. Furthermore I really doubt that the carbon emissions of transportation dominate the carbon output of beef production, so the

I’m fairly certain a conventional company was the plan all along. Why else bring in Eric Schmidt? Any perception that it was not is marketing to push down engineering salaries.

Err are you neglecting beef?

Or, just abolish any ownership of property except demonstrated by active personal (or organizational) use. We could have been planning cities decades ago and avoided the current real estate hellscape.

The only way a UBI makes sense in terms of increasing equity in society is either a) printing the money to intentionally induce inflation, which american economic common sense seems allergic to, or b) reclaiming the wealth from the wealthy

UEFI makes this problem much easier—even if you still use a bootloader (no need!) there’s not much need to update it after it starts working.

This is why you encrypt, it’s not impossible to bypass but it would make it a gargantuan task.

I mean he could mention what controls they do have to prevent this, that’d be a decent start.

How does this interact with method_missing, the soul of rails? Obviously much of the rails api is defined dynamically, not statically. I could see runtime checks having some value but I’m not sure how an IDE could take advantage of this, pe

Of all the chatter around anti-trust, has anyone broached the app store and apple’s monopoly on iOS software? I am using the term in a colloiquial, non-legalistic sense. My fear is that politicians are invested in tech stocks, like the rest

Alright I guess I see what you’re saying, and this does seem like natural progress from address sanitization.

Seems like a low-quality signal.

Why does this point to a hardware-level protection rather than simply removing the dependency on C? I mean wouldn't moving to rust mitigate most of these vulnerabilities? I can't help but think that if hardware protection from vul

Sure, but hardware memory tagging is also not proven to work. Anyway, it's unclear with which criteria you're judging "proven not to work" with as we're both typing via the software right now, unlike a hardware solu

Have you considered using qcow? Sadly I’m not terribly knowledgable if this is easily implementable or not but theoretically you don’t need to allocate all the disk space, just the parts you’ve written to.
352.
by monadic2 6y ago
I used to agree heavily with this, but nowadays we have effective techniques of memory safety on the software level and I find myself ambivalent on which level of abstraction this occurs. I do think it means C is probably eventually doomed

I mean this is fair but I don’t see much point in comparing Apple to a single commodity pc manufacturer, no disrespect intended (I love my xps 13). I suspect coffee shops and universities are simply full of the professional class I implied

I'm not really sure you can call macs "popular" even here in the US.... they're a professional luxury for the most part. I say this with three macs within reach of me.

Hah, and arm servers were already gaining an economic edge before Apple’s consumer product switch.

Yea most of the wind about “taxpayer dollars being wasted” is just flatulence but this is a straight up robbery.

It’s really just the browser that becomes difficult to use. For everything else you can find a decent lightweight option. I've been doing most of my computing on a raspberry pi 2 recently and it's just as productive as my main lap

I’m open to a slow but secure processor. Certainly for my personal computing.

Ahh, I see the error of my ways.

Hah, perhaps the best case to optimize for!
