The antitrust congress committee a couple weeks ago is head by a democrat and was bi-partisan so I don’t suspect it’s the administration leading this, but perhaps are working with congress

>> What happens when the ultimate heat sink is lost?

What's an example event where the ultimate heat sink might be lost?

> parallel pilot randomized open label, double-masked clinical trial.

Dumb questions: What is a parallel pilot | what is open label? And Is double-masked the same as double-blind?

No, it sounds like a rogue IC agency. The textbook definition of fascism doesn’t apply here. This word keeps appearing on HN without any reasoning

I don’t think they intent is to use it for a daily driver OS, but rather to teach/learn how Linux works,Or at least that’s what my mentors have told me

>> Contrary to popular belief, most skyscrapers have a strong economic rational.

I doubt there is a popular belief that says "tall skyscrapers do not have an economic rational". Really weird starting point to make this article

After watching this video, I now get why this exists. That was pretty cool

There are youtube videos of ATC recordings (with transcripts) of pilots losing their cool. You are right, I don't think any ATC lost their cool in any of the recordings I've listened to.

This quote from the article made me smile:

>> Another pilot chimed in: "Only in LA."

Wouldn’t you also want the ability to revoke just certain binaries? Let’s say a large company like Microsoft accidentally somehow got malware on their Excel app, you wouldn’t want to terminate the dev cert because that would also cancel Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, etc

> You can sign transactions offline and hand deliver the file if you felt so inclined.

How big is that signature/file? Can it be encoded in a QR code or something simpler to bridge the airgap?

Thanks for the response. After reading it I think I may be less clear than in my initial reply now.

Question: Can a sentence be provably true in one arithmetic system but not another?

If so that means there are provably true sentences which exist, but not provably true with the axioms that I have at my disposal right now?

> so I really don't like describing logically independent sentences as "true but unprovable":

I don't see a particular problem with it. It can be "true but unprovable" within a given system. I feel like you may be arguing semantics, but the sentence is still clear and accurate to me, while your lay audience definition is less clear and steps further away from the theorems than necessary

ELI5?

I get that a browsing history C is unique, but if I clear it, how can you identify that my new history D is tied to C and not unique?

> What do you mean plain text?

This: "We will send the ciphertext through Signal and the one-time pad through WeChat."

You're sending the OTP in plaintext. This is the age-old key distribution problem, and that's not magically solved by using a separate channel.

> This encryption is perfect secrecy

Sending your key in plaintext over a separate channel isn’t really perfect secrecy but okay... it’s interesting, but laden with assumptions.

That video does not appear to show anything for four minutes. Did I miss something?

Edit: Now I have a feeling that I got trolled and that's the point of the video

> They have nothing on the current financial system

Ok, so you have some grief with how the banking system works

> These are nonstarters that would get laughed out of the room if pitched today.

How is this related? No one is pitching building a KYC government regulated financial banking system?

> destroy privacy and fungibility on the network

Do people expect privacy from the bitcoin network?

Offtopic: There was a compiler a decade ago named "Orange" or something with Orange? Orange-cpp Orange c++ or something similar for C++ that I've been trying to find that visualized data structures. I can't find it, I may be forgetting the correct citrus. Does anyone remember?

Ya, that is the first time I have seen that. Interesting idea.

> I find it a bit odd that people think Netflix is worth more money than a tool that might transform your creative output.

While the price is nearly the same, Netflix pays for thousands of employees and hundreds of actresses & crews to produce entertainment.

This app doesn’t have hundreds of employees doing my thinking, reviewing my notes, or making suggestions. Apples & oranges

how did you exit?

I'd consider $100, but not a $100 per year subscription? Come on!

For someone who is not British, wouldyou mind explaining who/what the both are?

Same here. I have a “No Hello/Hi/Hey” policy. I just ignore it

+500/month health insurance payment? I heard it was more like $1400-2000 for CA startup founders and their families

Borders, customs, and immigration forms, fingerprints, cameras, and passports, airline tickets. There are much of paper trails

Ya, there's no evidence of this. There's some hand-wavy quote in the last sentence saying it is happening, but you can't just switch in a week. This isn't like swapping a CSS file on a webpage.

>> call everyone who they can think of that they've had contact with in the past few days.

How do I call the subway travelers? How do call the people at the pizza parlor? How do I call the people who bumped me in line at the grocer?

What if I told you there are successful Fortune 100 corporations in the US where executives don’t bring laptops/tech to meetings, but rather paper & pen (there are). Tech isn’t really relevant, it’s a medium, and there are many mediums
