It's true that trade of physical items in the end is just a social convention. But the current legal status of bubblebum theft is based on depriving someone else of their physical property. It is not at all related to the shoplifter ge

European social democracies have made it work by continuously re-constructing it. Employees and citizens of the welfare state are at the table when negotiating how to set rules for the managed capitalism. Check out Sweden for example.

GDP will become increasingly diverged from technological progress and standard of living I think, though it's quite a poor metric even now. Mobile phones getting internet access doesn't show up for example. Software mostly shows u

Human nerve impulses travel at ballpark of 1e-7 c though, so limits of physics let you keep the relative signaling speed constant while making the system between enormously larger in radius. And the volume (and hence number of neurons) of c

I think functional and declarative are widely regarded as closely related paradigms, certainly you might call a FP program a declarative program. After all a declaration of a value as being derived from some inputs is very similar in concep

I agree in practice QML apps are typically less functional than React apps, but QML-the-language (without connecting JS functions) is functional, like CSS.

QML is declarative so it's really more functional than React's JS with some FP conventions.

Then you just have a system that has no security advantages but is harder to reason about due to the additional level of indirection in overloaded addressing (because of ambiguous addressing, management of forwarding rules, etc) vs normal f

It's hard to understand why so many cloud service providers and software stacks are still v4-only considering the operational and development cost of v4+NAT (complexity, management, scaling limitations etc). For most systems it would b

This seems the obvious threat model when thinking about a "no action requred" wireless token, same thing as contactless payments and RFID passports etc. To be secure against this type of attack, such a device has to be designed as

Most SCTP use (WebRTC) is UDP-encapsulated, needs no kernel support, and works just fine with NAT. The UDP encapsulation doesn't add any "trouble" compared to your own ad-hoc UDP-encapsulated protocol, but you still get the a

There is something about the hopeless nature of "security software" that makes it inherently prone to this kind of antics. In any reasonable world people would balk at the idea of "antivirus software" being needed, and j

Something like Qubes OS is better defense against remote attacks, there is a lot of other mayhem that kind of compromise might cause. (Also passphrases don't really help there).

Interesting point. I hope this threat is something GPU vendors address, since secure virtualized GPU access has been a marketed feature for a while (at least from AMD). Quick googling drew a blank sadly.

I thought the PCI passthrough security model assumes that the guest does compromise the GPU, and the guest-controlled GPU is isolated from the rest of the system using the IOMMU. Do you mean these controls are porous by design or are you ta

If there are too few jobs, it's just a game of musical chairs. The number of jobs is not a natural phenomena, but a varying outcome of the parameters of our economic system of managed market capitalism. It's very natural for citiz

For makers, it will hopefully look like the internet of the old days where you can just configure ACLs and/or crypto keys to allow traffic from one place to the other instead of using a towering stack of configuration tooling to manage
