“Move fast and break democracy”

I don't think the cost of health care is primarily a technical problem, but a political one.

> Absolutely ridiculous they have all this compute and creative resources and cant make something more intuitive to help people understand it more natively

OpenAI has that too - open their website and ask.


And get some hallucinated slop infotainment?

> The rest of the right wing just doesn't want government slush fund handouts to vaporware companies

Maybe the voters don't, but the businessmen and politicians definitely do, maybe more so than democrats. Just in different sectors (military).


> The point of the law was to generate money for the state to fund the same mistakes France and GB are currently reeling from.

Which mistakes of France and GB are you referring to? The money (90%) will go to health care spending. So, yes - vastly overpriced crap - France spends half for universal care with better outcomes.


Have you kept up with the financial status of France and GB? Read anything about the riots?

"I would have worked hard and started a great company, but since I could only ever reach $900M in wealth, I decided to be a bum instead". Sure.

The way all these billionaires have built up their wealth is by retaining a certain percentage of stock in the companies they built, and then the market cap of these company got into the billions and sometimes trillions.

Let’s assume a founder has 10%. There are two options to prevent them from becoming a billionaire. Either that company cannot grow past a 10 billion market cap. That would destroy retirement for most normal Americans. The other option is to force the founder to liquidate to pay taxes. If so, then yes, they would stop further building out these companies at a certain market cap once they have no real stake or say in them anymore. Why would they work for free once they are at the limit. I wouldn’t and I think almost nobody would.


Check out the work of Gabriel Zucman. Many interviews online. Makes a good case for wealth taxes.

Can someone point the heart of this fix? I see a bunch of change of naming of constants, etc

As far as I understand it's line 1978: `goto saveStateAndReturn;`. Early return that prevents further processing.

Had a short moment to glance at it. My guess would be BROTLI_DCHECK(s>meta_block_remaining_len <= (int)BROTLI_BLOCK_SIZE_CAP) along with BROTLI_SAFE_WITH_STATUS having that goto saveStateAndReturn on non BROTLI_DECODER_SUCCESS.

Doesn't mix up error-need-more-data with error-invalid-data

Yes, why don't they just say it instead of posting videos. Opening a sinister PDF in iOS can give them access to what exactly? anything/everything? What iOS versions or devices, etc?

Marketing by security researchers and companies has gotten unbearable. They only want their name out there and not actually make devices more secure.

We disclosed most bugs to Apple, and are going to disclose the rest. We've disclosed probably close to 100 bugs to Apple in the past 6 months.

We've also been working with closely with the Signal Foundation to help them reduce the attack surface.

It's not true that we don't want to make devices more secure. We do and it's why we do this research.

We also do want our name out there because we're having a lot of fun and want to share that with our friends and the rest of the world.


how are they supposed to get paid?

Check out https://calif.io/research/the-great-glyph-grift, which shows one could go wrong with PDF in iOS.

We're gonna publish more in the coming weeks. Writing these blog posts take time, and we've been busy with another PHP thing.


> with another PHP thing.

oh man...
