What about the barriers involving possession of a computer, access to fairly high-speed internet, and the technical knowledge to use Torrents and video codecs and so on?
I guess I should mention Seven Databases in Seven Weeks (Pragmatic).
It's plausible based on public research that any well-funded adversary can break 1024-bit RSA. You should assume 1024-bit RSA is simply broken.
1-bit images should generally be saved using JBIG2 compression (as far as I know the best lossless compression scheme for 1-bit images), rather than PNG. In some cases CCITT Group 4 compression might be used, for compatibility reasons, e.g. in a TIFF wrapper.
Well, some Germans have "returned" to Germany where they haven't lived for centuries. In Czechoslovakia, there were Beneš Decrees[1] which meant the loss of citizenship and expropriation of the property of about three million Germans and Hungarians.

Particularly interesting are the legal opinions around "guilt" vs "responsibility":

Together with the other European states and their governments,
unable and unwilling to counter Nazi expansion from the very
start, also the German nation is in the first line responsible
for the inception and development of Nazism, although there were
many Germans who had actively and bravely opposed it.

> Really it comes down to parent pressure to make the kid do things that they don't really want to by convincing them it's important.

The problem is that a large percentage of the stuff that's taught in schools in fact IS more or less useless in later life, except for very specific career paths. Parents know this and pass on this to their kids.
Even a pattern of just orange and white, the two colors of previous parachutes, raised potential issues. “There’s all kinds of second-guessing questions,” Dr. Clark said. “Like could having more white than orange, or vice versa, mean that the parachute was going to warm up differently and maybe that would change its behavior?”

Amazing. I wouldn't have thought of that. If that same care and thoughtfulness goes into the code that we write...
I get what you’re saying but I wish it were that easy.

Take the requirements for example. If they aren’t airtight, you’ll get into a wordsmithing scenario where the contractor claims they met the requirement and it becomes a game where the team with the best lawyer wins. Write the requirements too explicitly and contractors will push back saying “tell us what you want, not how we’re supposed to do it.”

A somewhat silly example is if you specify you want unit testing on all safety critical code paths a contractor may claim they define running a compiler as “unit testing”. A contracting officer may not be technically savvy enough to push back and when the subject matter experts try to leave negative contract comments (that get reviewed when awarding future contracts) they get scrubbed because its not worth the fight in the eyes of the contracting officer.

Unfortunately, just saying “do good work” just doesn’t...work
Yeah they can't really win - do they try to keep happy a dwindling group who liked Firefox the way it was in the past, or simplify and streamline to innovate more quickly appeal to new users. It's probably impossible to do both. I'm firmly in the anti-customisation camp myself. They obviously aren't ever going to appeal to both of us.
For comparison 500 lb is a medium sized motorcycle.

Those are load ratings. 1/2 ton is still a standard small pickup parlance, but a a true load rating that probably hasn't been true since the 70s or 80s. Back before then it was a good idea of what you could haul (as opposed to a "full sized" 1-ton)
In the US, I don't think you can write-off a space that's used for work, even if it's exclusive use, if you are a w2 employee. Please correct me if I'm wrong though, because I have a dedicated room for my office, and would be able to take advantage of this otherwise.

#AbolishCopyright. Allow people to freely share information with each other and you will allow decentralization to happen. You will stop subsidizing lies.

That is the answer. It really is as simple as that (not easy, but simple).
I have to say I've no idea what I'd do if I couldn't send our child to daycare. I work from home, but past experience has taught me that I cannot work if he's home.

On the rare times he's been sick I stay home and take care of him, and don't even pretend to work. Too much "Daddy play with me", "Daddy look at this", etc. Even if he's basically sofa/bed-bound and sleeping all day I can't work.

At least in Finland we're allowed to have 9ish days of paid leave a year to take care of a sick child.
Yes. The general idea of the attack is always going to be possible in principle. What happened here is they demonstrated they can actually do it in practice, and they gave us some parameters for how easy/hard it was. Other devices can (and in future should) make it harder than this, but it's never truly going to be impossible.

One thing I like very much about Security Keys is that the intuitive experience with ordinary physical keys applies. The idea that if someone stole your key that's bad makes sense.
Yep. I remember using that on IRC and ICQ chat in the 90s.
> Until they fix their serious housing issues with homeless / mentally-ill people camping on sidewalks and creating a hostile environment around the downtown core...

Which SF (and all other west coast cities) can do by...building more housing.

Stop this bullshit of apartments in a small slice of land area and then single-residence detached housing as far as the eye can see. Build gentle density, walkups and row houses and four floors with corner stores. Don’t crowd density near main thoroughfares.

Build it and house your residents.

Once you’ve done that, the remainder of folks who have genuine mental and substance health issues—as opposed to the people who picked up drugs as a way of coping with the crippling depression of being unhoused—can be cared for properly.
The choice of word "victim" is interesting... PR engines full steam ahead I guess.
I’d just like to clarify something seeing as your reading comprehension is atrocious. I asked why they weren’t shot. I never advocated for it I am merely pointing out the inconsistency in response. There is no doubt in my mind that if these were BLM protestors they would have be fired on with rubber bullets and possibly even live rounds. That is all. I purposefully reserved my own opinion on whether this is desirable or not as it is irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Cool! One special case less in the Swift language (automatic differentiation).
I accept your premise and the fact that matchmaking is hard but:

> You could, for example, play 100 matches where you were given the closest opponent but at a disadvantage for every single match.

not really, you'd derank aggressively and end up playing people at a lower level and presumably winning comfortably after some time.
In fact no. Once I send you a message it’s neither yours or mine, it’s owned by the platform. Thus if the platform does not allow for « sharing » without consent you must follow their instructions.

Also if you believe privacy is a right, you should ask that person before sharing this digital content he created that has hid identity in it, otherwise you should hide it.

For a paper letter it’s obviously different, once you received it it’s obviously yours.
This is a general reminder to everyone when engaging in thought and conversation about policy and laws.

Always consider the possible second and third-order effects of your proposal. There will always be people who use (or at least attempt to use) the new policy to their own maximum benefit, possibly not in the intended way at all.

Consider that behavior does not necessarily make them bad or evil, merely agents acting in their own self-interest. Consider then, also, not simply making a list of "if then else" exceptions and bans for these behaviors, but rethinking the entire policy in the first place.

I strongly believe we could all be in a better place civically if we adhere to these simple guidelines before we slap down policies left and right and get trapped in vicious feedback loops where we can't repeal certain laws because they are "grandfathered in".
Is libertarianism of any notable popularity in other countries?
Thanks for the notice, I was taken away by how great the tool was working and making my workflow far easier when helping people with various kinds of IT problems. Uploading a screenshot of something that might contain sensitive information is not something I want to have happen by accident!
not really.. games are made with 3D tools (unity, etc), Form-based "data oriented" apps are made with cross-plateform tools (react native, xamarin, flutter, etc).

The only things left are a very small percentage, and add to that the fact that you either 1/ have the budget for 2 development teams, or 2/ afford to skip the other "half" of the market staying iOS only.
As usual the times is great at telling a story, but in this case one built entirely on a cropped screenshot. See https://i.imgur.com/KZGwIw9.png for the reality of the naked profiteering the mods were planning.

I think it's more interesting how Reddit responded to it. Their willingness to quickly roll the heads of folk pouring months of their lives into moderation suggests perhaps they capitalize on these dramas to shore up control of their own communities. It makes a lot of sense from Reddit's perspective to not have any superstar moderators be seen to 'own' or have excessive user loyalty from the group they're responsible for. Such things could easily lead to exoduses or public spats with the admins that could be overall bad for the site.

Also consider the public rationale ("we don't care why, disruptive folk will always be removed") applied to moderators when in both of these uproars, it was actually a single user ("SpeaksInbooleans") responsible for lighting the fires. AFAIK he is still a member of the group
Yeah definitely. If we assume that advertising works, then it follows that the total sum that all advertisers pay is extracted from all users in aggregate, only in a roundabout way. If we outlawed advertising totally (which is more severe than what I proposed in my first post) then it would just mean the hidden cost (or damage, in some cases) incurred by users due to advertising is made explicit. If that means some people won't use some services, I would say it's only fair, it's better than tricking people into paying for stuff indirectly.
If we're keeping this simple, then I'd say have IP address in subaltnames. Obtaining such certs shouldn't be a problem for CDNs, and possible for others as well (regarding free options: Let's Encrypt doesn't support that, but ZeroSSL does)
He probably means beta emitters, which concentrate in the thyroid and bone marrow.
Could you explain how properly sequestered nuclear waste is not less harmful to the planet as carbon in the atmosphere?

I'm my current view, nuclear waste can be sequestered and stored effecting only a tiny fraction of the planet while greenhouse gases effect the whole planet.
I'm pretty sure it's not my area, I just tell everyone I converse with to use signal and most of them do.

Your form is correct based on faint recollection of what I learned in college Japanese class.
The jump from javascript to typescript is trivial compared to the jump to some sort of framework built on wasm.
People freak out when they hear "nuclear" and "radiactive", but there are 3 types of radioactivity.

Alpha and low energy beta emitters such as those used in nuclear batteries are not dangerous at all if shielded properly. In fact they are MUCH easier to shield than shielding a Lithium battery from the possibility of fire.

It's gamma emitters that are much harder to shield properly.
I have a Chime account. It's pretty good except for one untenable problem. They routinely reject paper check deposits via the app, and will not tell me why.

I recently had a U.S. Treasury check rejected by them. And in multiple messages, they refused to say why. Their reply apologized for both the inconvenience and that they couldn't tell me the reason for the rejection.

I've never had an in-person/traditional bank refuse to explain their actions before this. The rejection might be acceptable with an explanation. The refusal to explain is unworkable. And the explicit apology about the refusal to provide an explanation actually makes it even more frustrating.

The problem with "well I rarely need to deposit paper checks" is that what if I have some other problem? And they just refuse to explain themselves?
Forbidding your developers from using arrow-functions such that you don’t need a JS build process can be justified.
A "bubble" isn't defined as the absence of any irrational valuations.
I am non-American, and I do not understand why (most/some) Americans think think the default/superior housing material is wood. If someone can explain, I'd be happy to learn.

I'm perfectly fine with brick-and-mortar houses (and concrete sky-scrapers). Brick houses have less fuel for fires, better load-bearing properties (pros), although they take longer to construct.
I work on Bazel.

We've put a bunch of work into making sure that we know about every file that goes into the Java compilation, and if any of them changes (and only then) do we recompile. Within Google, we use a form of sandboxing to enforce that.

You're also right that it isn't free - we have reason to believe that larger projects and larger teams will see benefits from using Bazel. Use your best judgement.
>"There is no metric by which Whatsapp is worth 19B, except for the fact that Facebook can spend that much money."

More "did" than can. Something is worth what someone will pay. Why was FB willing to pay $19B? The answer is somewhere between what those users are worth to FB and the threat to FB's (very real) business that WhatsApp represented. This doesn't seem bubblish to me.

'the man' could always get that info, sure.
but now, anyone with access to your phone or computer can.
Funny, I had to go to a location without internet access, but where I periodically have to "mark" where I am so I can reference it later. I was about to write my own app for this purpose when I saw this post. To boot, I had my iPhone on me the last few days anyway, so this will definitely come in handy.

Despite the utility I got out of this, I wish we would be told about it...
Moreover, using an arrow operator, the OP almost wrote a Prolog expression:

Even though Japanese is traditionally written vertically, right to left, modern Japanese is just as valid written horizontally, top down. Latin characters are never written vertically – so code wouldn't be either.

It sounds like rollback could be used to cheat by artificially delaying your outgoing network traffic: the other player has less time to respond. But I doubt I’m the first to get that idea.
Sounds like the author knows a lot about AI and data but almost nothing about economics.

Prices exist for a reason; if power became more expensive that's because it was scarce. People need to stop using it or pay more so that power companies can build more supply.

There are also options like the Tesla Powerwall that will be helped by this event.

Yeah, but then you block everything and not only wasm.
That's a problem with using any personality test for hiring. Not just MBTI.
For the Pauline epistles comment, do you mean Greek? The earliest manuscripts I'm aware of are all Greek, and I don't think it's a debate that they were. Or are you saying there were aramaic scripts that were inspirations?

I'm definitely not an expert, have just studied Greek and Hebrew in seminary, so was curious.
Not exactly. It does make some sense to validate the market you are targeting that is, if the software in question is used by the teachers. Finding the pain in your own product and making it suck less while building a strong relationship with your end user makes solid business sense.

That being said, I work in education technology for state government. I know for a fact that most technology coordinators at district or ITC level are not mostly former teachers. By far the largest percentage of those with purchasing power at the district/ITC level are business analysts and administrative staff. I do know a couple former IT support staff or computer science teachers that have risen to that level but they are the exception that makes the rule.

You best bet for marketing new educational technology tools are working with an state agency specializing in educational technology. More often that not this is a specialized agency or an arm of DoE. They will have solid relationships with ETC/ITCs and most school districts. They also influence substantial policy decisions and usually progressive "think-tank" organizations. Building a relationship with them is not that difficult due to their receptiveness.

Ah, right. That makes sense. If only it was mentioned on the download page!
The great surge of technology patents started around 1990 and had really picked up steam by 1995 [1]. Patents, unlike Copyrights, are not 'renewable' in the sense that once their 20 year term expires they revert to the public domain by law. Further, now that folks have successfully litigated bogus Patent Marking [2] you can't use an old Patent number on your design to intimidate folks into not copying it.

So while filing rates continue to be high (although as you see from the linked graph issue rates have been falling) the patent office has become better educated about what should be and what shouldn't be patentable (not perfect yet but its getting noticeably better, if only because patent examiners are entering the market who grew up in a digital age).

So a side effect is that when the patent claims for issued patents expire, that's it, no more revenue. You can perfectly legally implement the RSA key exchange algorithm now (as an example) without infringing on any patents. This was speculated to be the primary reason that RSA Data Security Inc was trying to get people signed up to use their Copyrighted implementation of same, since if you licensed the copyrighted code, and then decided to stop paying them license fees and implement it yourself they couldn't sue you for patent infringement but they would want to go through your code to see that you hadn't used large parts of their software in your new design. That approach was unavailable if you hadn't been given access to their source code.

So starting in 2010, and accelerating until 2020 all of those patents that were issued between 1990 and 2000 will revert to being public domain. It is one of the reasons I predict a tech boom in 2015 - 2025 :-).

I did not anticipate however that prior to their death that these companies would go all out in try to extract some, possibly any, value from them by suing the pants off everyone. I don't know, but I suspect that this is at least partly responsible for the current fracas.

It's basically accurate. Also, there are upvotes from notable employees at Facebook like Andrew Bosworth
I didn't know it was although you might be right that some people are confusing it.

It's talking about what information itself wants to be not be (as if it has agency), not what people want information to be.

there's another dev that can handle any emergencies or critical bug fixes while i'm out. still i have to be available by phone in case there are questions, but even then it rarely requires more than a lazy login/check at the end of the day.

This post is a condensed version of an already short book I recently read - Breaking the Time Barrier [1]. I recommend reading both.

Like the author of this post says, calculating the value you're adding with your work is the only true way to accurately price yourself. It may not be as easy to do as someone who works in sales but it's worth your time to do so.

Shortly after reading BtTB, I had a new contract opportunity come my way. I doubled my hourly rate.

> That's a problem unrelated to hashing.

It (poor implementation) is definitely related to implementing pepper on top of a secure password hash, though, which everybody is already doing differently.

> I would avoid using any particular symmetric algorithm twice. Otherwise if you have an example of algorithm chaining that can weaken security beyond the weakest link, I would love to see it. (Not that I think nesting is a great idea.)

“algorithm” is, again, really vague. (So is “nesting”.) But for something contrived and not snarky, here:

h = sha512_hex(password)
sha512_hex(bcrypt(h, gen_salt()) +
bcrypt(h, gen_salt()) +
bcrypt(h, gen_salt()) +
bcrypt(h, gen_salt()))

The weakest link here is 374 bits (4 bcrypts), but the output is 288.
That's what is different. When you bought an album, brought it home and put it on, you really relished the moments listening, you put more effort in to listening, you put more effort in to experiencing the entire product... The song ordering, the album art, etc..

U2 gave away a new album last year, it has song great U2 tracks in it, it's a strong album from them. The entire discussion about it revolved around not the music but the delivery. Not about them getting old or how they've only made crap since War or any of the other slags on them, it was about the delivery. Maybe it's always been this way but it seems like the appreciation is going down. Seems like in a few years, people won't buy dedicated audio equipment, not generally at least.
I think it's because the other submission had a trailing forward slash at the end of the URL.
I would suggest a touch screen that supports a professional drawing stylus. There are styluses that can do more features. http://www.sensubrush.com/
which is why a button makes so much sense, auto ordering is bad, this seems much better
This would work great in an office environment. If it's an API, it would be great if there is a chance for an office admin to manage requests as well (i.e. still easier to buy milk from the store; additional coffee cartridges may be in storage locally somewhere.)
