My apologies. I thought the "stale" comment was directed at the third amendment in particular. Most of what I was offering my rebuttal on was this:

>all suggest that there are things wrong with the American constitution.

Depending on your interpretation of "Wrong", I'd either agree or disagree. But the general point I was trying to make was that I don't find too many flaws with the examples you provided, and with regards to the third amendment, I was trying to provide an example in which even older parts of the document still have a lot of relevance, despite seeming stale at face value.

I didn't mean to insult your intelligence by providing the history lesson though; when I write a reply I do so imagining everyone in the discussion is reading, so while it is probably not new information to you, it might be to someone else. That's the real value in our talk here.

Sorry about that,

Cheers. =)

There is, and it's been fixed in Linux for a few years, possibly the severity of the issue wasn't even realized back then.

In linux-mainline/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S, at syscall_return you'll find a comment explaining that a more complicated and slower method will used to return to usespace should a few conditions not be met. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/entry...

The original fix is from 2006, then at x86_64/kernel/entry.S
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/7bf36bbc5e0c09271f9...

[PATCH] x86_64: When user could have changed RIP always force IRET

Intel EM64T CPUs handle uncanonical return addresses differently
from AMD CPUs.

The exception is reported in the SYSRET, not the next instruction.
This leads to the kernel exception handler running on the user stack
with the wrong GS because the kernel didn't expect exceptions
on this instruction.

This version of the patch has the teething problems that plagued an earlier
version fixed.

This is CVE-2006-0744

Thanks to Ernie Petrides and Asit B. Mallick for analysis and initial
patches.
If it comes up so often, then that is usually a pretty good indication that it's a topic that requires more discussion. Waving it away is, then, just going to make it come up again the next time.

For what it's worth, I do agree with Uptrenda. I do also want to explicitly highlight that this certainly is racism - and that whether it is justifiable racism is a separate discussion entirely.

Nope, I don't have different numbers. I retract my point in the face of this evidence.
Not just a problem if you spend money promoting to unwanted fake likes - EdgeRank decides who sees your un-promoted content based in part upon your average engagement levels, if half of your fans never engage because they are fake then your stats look worse to Facebook and so your content will be seen by a lower proportion of your real fans, even before you start spending $ promoting stuff.
They never said they were the first to break this barrier (but I had to go back and check).

what regex? content blocking compiles the source regex to byte code which is executed natively.

the 32-bit hang up is because of performance of compiling the rules, not executing them.

Wow, one of these days someone needs to make a russian roulette binary that has a 1 in 20 chance to delete your home directory and post it to HN. Bonus points for including a link to the source without the russian roulette so that people can 'read the source for the binary' before running it.

"The issue is there is so little research on water levels"

That's just not true. Here's one of many graphs on water levels on a global scale: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Post-Glacial_Sea_Lev... . By 7K years ago the major sea level rise was nearly finished. For example, the Persian Gulf was flooded about 8,000 years ago.

Extensive research has been done in part because of how it's coupled to projections of future sea level rise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise .

You imply there is insufficient information on global water rise. A quick search finds this a study on the "Late glacial to post glacial sea levels in the Western Indian Ocean" http://www.researchgate.net/publication/40702427_Late_glacia... . It describes some of the many other studies in sea level rise that were done in places other than the US coasts.

"Keep hoping that someone will build some drones that can just fly around and measure this stuff"

If you read the paper you'll see the aerial photography is not enough. The research also included drilling and submersible dives.

Blaming the Constitution for many of our problems is like getting into your new Tesla drunk, disabling the safety features, then blaming it when you plow into a bus full of school children.

Ben Franklin stated it well:

In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other.
I think this is a well observed phenomenon [1],[2]. At least in the theoretical quantum group I am in: there is very little agreement about the interpretation of quantum theory. (Maybe the experimentalists don't care as much.)

Yeah but specifically for networking, error-detecting and error-correcting codes can make a byte at the app level > 8 bits on the wire, transparently. The capacity of the hardware is independent of that, so they talk in bauds.
It seems this system uses your scheme, except that instead of getting the key from administrator input, it computes it from the first K passwords it gets using a secret sharing scheme.

The advantage is that the administrator doesn't need to manually intervene, the disadvantage is that you can't verify passwords (in a way that is more secure than just verifying hashes) until you get at least K correct login attempts.

If the goal is only to defend against SQL injection, a much simpler solution is to just put the key outside the database, for instance in the configuration or source of the application.

I can see the headline now: "Chocolate one of the three 'staples of happiness' say scientists"
I'll add one other bit, since it's more or less clear now that I am one of those who finds the Constitution to be a remarkable document: I think it's frequently revered for entirely the wrong reasons.

The beauty in the Constitution was that it laid out plans for a very well functioning system of government. It ensured changes had to be made with broad support across the nation, and provided for a very strong judiciary. It at once created a strong Federal system that at the same time was highly resistant to tyranny (again, relatively speaking.)

There have been many constitutions written across the world since, but many of them fall along the same lines as the perceptions and wishes espoused by those who misinterpret ours: They are thick documents that attempt to codify the nation's values and morals, as well as establish rules to live by.

The issue with that is that people and nations change, not to mention it is disadvantageous to the weak or minorities. It's why most of the third world has gone through numerous constitutions...

The U.S. Constitution did none of these things. It lays out a system of governance and conflict resolution. It specified powers. There is only one crime, treason, specif iced in the whole document. And most importantly, it laid out a system to make changes that would ensure the broadest support. That's it.

I groan every time some pundit makes the charge that we don't follow the constitution because of some moral outage or perceived cultural mistake being made that the Constitution is perceived to have provided for. It's the modern day bible, held up to be followed but never read.
The Buddhists approach this a little bit differently, and it's not as easy as taking a pill, but I think it has it's own special benefits. And that's meditation. Not just any meditation, but Vipassana, which is simply being aware of sensations and equanimous with them, allowing all verbal thought to subside.

The mind races here and there, you have terrible (and wonderful) fantasies, you think about the future (personally, I love imagining giving lectures). The mind rebels, sometimes very strongly indeed and in all kinds of ways, against the act of simply observing the breath (or any other single object). Eventually, if you stick with it, something good may happen, and the experience will stick with you for a lifetime - and you can protect that experience with daily meditation.
Good point. But if the only way you can avoid malaria is if someone gives you a bed net, then your ability to improve your own circumstances is still close to 0. You're still impoverished and powerless, you're just not dead. And now you're dependent on a source of bed nets that might dry up.

If plain old reciprocal altruism hadn't somehow failed, there would be a way that you could exchange your labour or otherwise for bed nets. The people paying your wages could be acting altruistically, or they could be rationally self-interested actors.

These are the sort of systemic changes I was thinking of, but I like your argument.

ES: live data migration
IPFS also has IPNS. IPNS allows you to use your peer id (that you get by running the daemon) as a name. So if your peed id is "A", you can point "A" to hash "123" and give "A" to the people you want to share the content with. If you now add a new thing and get the hash "456", you can update "A" to now point to that hash instead. That way, you can update the content seamlessly, without breaking things for other people.

does the R language have an executable also called R?

I think the reason is that this is close to home to Ramda users - the typical name for the Ramda object in Javascript is R.

I'm not familiar with how code signing for PE executables is performed, but I imagine it's done as a seperate step after compilation?

If so, what matters is that the binary pre-signing is reproducible. Ideally we should be able to remove the signature for the binary, build our own, and get a bit-identical binary.

I do hope this is intended as a joke.

I am sure I have just read an article which basically says: bo ho we can't decrypt all the security used. Switch the target from paedophiles back to terrorists, so that we can remove the liberties of the nation.
It is very much like the risk of flying. The media got the message and now, pretty much anytime a plane crashes, will repeat again and again that the risk is extremely low and that it is safer to take a plane than cross a street.

For terrorism (or any disease for that matter) they do exactly the opposite. The message is pretty much "this could happen to you".

The reality is that plane crashes in Europe probably killed a multiple of what terrorism killed the past few years. We have 100+ deads in a single accident at least once a year. Us being afraid of terrorism is like an elephant afraid of a mosquito.
Well, to be fair, AMS-IX is located around the Amsterdam Area (a circle of around 30 km orso), while DE-CIX has locations in the US as well.

The answer is to make your adverts fast, lightweight and battery efficient. This is competition at its finest - those with the fastest and most compact adverts do not get blocked.

Claiming your business model will be harmed by progress in technology is depressing and a cop out. I would like to see resource quotas enforced by browsers. Like billboard space, you have a scarce resource to fill that is prime. How about you fit your advert resource usage into a well defined slot of time that my browser can manage for you? If you're fast and respectful, I see you. Otherwise you get torn down for vandalism like illegal posters.
You are correct. It isn't a magic bullet.

It is still significantly safer than unencrypted HTTP.

Yes, it does. Even if it didn't, it's still confusing I'd say. Why not just call it ramda? Still quite short. Actually, R is the only single letter executable that I can think of. Chances of clashes are ~1/26 :)

People using ad blockers are a small proportion of the market. Shitty click-through rates are just inevitable as consumers learn new ad behavior and grow a blindness to it. Do a focus group study and I bet most people won't even be able to recall that they even saw an ad, let alone what it was for.

In other words, if you choose a business model that requires placement ads, you're doomed. You made a bad decision. Sorry.
Yes. This. I used to have social anxiety for seemingly no reason - my mind would just constantly repeat negative emotions/events that happened in the day, or the week before or the month before or the year before, constantly. It was pretty crushing and I thought that 'well this my life now forever' and it was extremely bleak and depressing.

I tried meditation as an experiment after reading about how it helped people - and from day one I was hooked. As soon as I realized it was possible to 'slow' the mind and take control of your thoughts it was like an epiphany. Realising that all this stuff that was making me anxious was just made up stuff in my head, and meditation gave me the power to observe these thoughts as if they were not a part of me, has completely changed my life.

It's quite amazing to be in a situation where people are looking at you (social groups, doing presentations etc) and have zero anxiety - instead you're just one with your mind and feel so relaxed and natural about the whole thing. I recommend it to anyone has suffered anxiety and can't find a way out.
