> Binary obfuscation techniques to evade signature detection are a dime a dozen. Fully encrypted programs that can perform and can run on an untrusted platform are not. I think you may have a little more reading to do.

This is a pretty cynical take. I don't think we can possibly foresee all the advances that practical fully homomorphic encryption could provide. It could make it easier for under siege communities in repressed 3rd world countries to ru

Reading the abstract of the "paper" (book) that you linked it looks like what they are attempting to prove is that there are classes of functions in which obfuscation is impossible. My guess is that iO could still be attempted by

They don't have almost nothing to do with one another. Modern American liberalism is based pretty heavily on universal suffrage and human rights. The Rawlsian veil of ignorance[1] that the modern American left is pretty much based on i

Polling is going to continue to get worse, because our politics is deranging. When you poll you have to weight certain demographic groups. What groups though? We’re splintering as a country. There were so many anomalies this election. Bide

France is in a similar position. Granted France is 2-round, but arguably the US is too.

Yes, but why does the US have a structural duopoly. There may be certain features of the system that promote it, but I don't think it is close to provable that the US's system of government innately requires a duopoly. The duopo

I'd be genuinely interested in a paper, citation, article, or whatever for your misrepresentation claim. I've never heard that before (not saying you're wrong).

There is no reason coalitions could not be possible in the US legislative branch. You could argue that they existed here in the 1950s and 1960s, to some extent, when the parties were so race-scrambled that there were liberal Republicans and

Yes, but there are still first-past-the-post governments with viable 3rd parties.
103.
by hacknat 6y ago
Still not a valid argument for why the US couldn't have a valid 3rd party. The same would be true here. No one who votes Green is going to vote for Libertarians or Constitutionalists.

by hacknat 6y ago
Plenty of other governments have first past the post voting and viable 3rd parties. The only argument where this holds water is with executive elections (president, governor).

Ranked choice voting doesn't eliminate the winner-take-all, zero-sum nature of politics. That's entirely my point. All political power is zero-sum (the more I have the less you have), it doesn't matter what voting system you

I'm probably going to get massively down voted for this, but here it goes. I became a citizen of the US in 2011, but I still don't understand why Americans think they can only have a viable 3rd party with ranked choice voting. The

Well there, I was being a bit prickly... It's not a nice word, I'll leave it to everyone's imagination.

I don't think I do (I'm generally not easily put out by weather), but I would argue that the weather isn't free. I have to survive and deal with weather (clothes, shelter, etc) no matter where I live or what I do.

I'm not trying to shame anyone into silence. I'm not trying to shame anyone. However, I would like to see people complain less and act more. Being on the other side of open source software is eye-opening. It can be very dishearten

When the last discussion of X being abandon-ware came up one of the things I wanted to say, being the creator of a highly used open source project myself, is that people are ultimately responsible for software. I was going to speculate that

It really blows my mind how many people are still bearish on ML. It’s fair to argue timelines (although even that is becoming less true), but I think the evidence is firmly on the side of the bulls now.

What's interesting is it's not even close to being a new observation. Taking the blame for the fall of Rome off of the shoulders of "the Barbarians" is as old as Gibbon[1]. Elites got to define history (especially before

I’ve worked with a number of ex-Shopify employees and they all loved it. It sounds like it’s an intense experience, but they are willing to let people make very long bets. Also I can’t agree with point 5 enough. It really is true that the b

Honestly, I don't think the 20-30 year outlook for China is all that great. Japan's bailout of its corporate sector was contingent on its corporate sector removing their supply chains from China. A lot of natural incentives, globa

It's not just untrue is laughably untrue. I'm not a big fan of US military power, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be realistic about it. The US military really is the last global superpower. Pretty much all of the glo

China is, at best, a Pacific power, but really they're just regional. China cannot project sea lane power past Japan at this point. The dirty secret of China's economy is that they're incredibly dependent on the American mili

Dumb question: Shouldn't "room temperature" include in its definition about one atmosphere of pressure? I can tell you that I wouldn't want to experience "room temperature" 30,000 km above sea level.

Also, everyone has anxiety and/or depression right now. I’m trying my best to take everything everyone is saying with a grain of salt. Everyone appears to be having a hard time right now.

Why shouldn't Software Developers suck at UX? It's like wondering why Doctors or Lawyers might suck at UX. It's a completely orthogonal skill set. The same question reversed sounds completely absurd: Why aren't UX people
