> if you can't trust a browser's P-curves, you can't trust their GCM either.

Is that true though? I mean, from what I've read GCM seems much easier to implement than a full ECDH. I mean, have a look at some of the things published by Bernstein and Lange, https://www.hyperelliptic.org/tanja/vortraege/20130531.pdf

They do certainly have a horse in the race, but it's still interesting. They and others have also raised concerns about potential backdoors in the NIST curves, which is, while still unproven another reason why one might avoid them. They failed to do things as basic in the cryptographic community as using "nothing up my sleeve" numbers, it just seems sketchy at best to me. The random curves at least. The others are probably still just fine but the random ones are the most popular in TLS.

Depends on what you mean by "outskirts of the Bay Area" and what is the school district.

Say you have 2 kids under 5, you have to pay around 1200-1500$ for education for each of them, 3200-3800$ is rent.

Doable? Not really

[edit]
Even if your kids are not in school yet, good school district means better neighborhoods (for most parts).

My last few jobs were heavily Postgres-based. From what other stuff I've read on NoSQL, the benefits against relational databases just didn't outweigh learning a bunch of new NoSQL concepts. I know the MonogoDB drivers had some data loss issues (you were required to check an error code each time) that they've since then fixed.

But the general consensus from blogs I've read say that NoSQL should really be used more as a quick cache. Redius seems to replace memcache more than it acts as a real data-store. People who try to go the full NoSQL route tend to have to use several systems just to get what they had with a regular relational db.

What bothers me more than anything is that it seems like PostgreSQL is it. MySQL/MariaDB/Percona show the fragmented former MySQL landscape.

I've heard some people talk about Firebird, which I really need to check out. But is that really it? In the OSS world, are we down to PostgreSQL and Firebird (will MySQL really continue to grow under Oracle's control? Or is it on a dead end path?)

Repetition is also heavily employed in marketing. Why does the same brand run the same commercials over and over, every commercial break, sometimes for years at a time? Why do you see billboards, signage, and corporate sponsorships whose only goal is to get you to see a specific logo repeatedly? Radio commercials will often repeat the same line 4-5 times in a row, literally. Why do politicians post signs showing just their names and the position they're running for in every conceivable nook and cranny? It's obviously not about convincing you that they're most the qualified candidate, as the sign makes no argument.

Repetition certainly seems like an extremely effective method for drilling something into someone's subconscious, even if that person is making overt assertions that the brand's pervasiveness annoys them. I would guess that people have a natural bias toward things they recognize, so even if one thinks he/she is annoyed, they're still more likely to patronize the most familiar identity. I'd be interested in reading a more thorough treatment of this topic.
Adding composer support doesn't make the package incapable of being used exactly as it's being used now. It merely adds support. You can theoretically install any composer package without using composer. Though, those with complicated dependency trees would be more difficult. That, though, is not an issue here.

Your advice on how to lose of little interest.

The proposition that "if you do X we will kill you" is not a strong argument?

My reading of history indicates otherwise. As of late, look at almost all the West cowering before another subgroup's much more stringent censorship demands on pain of death (that's often enacted), when freedom of expression is supposed to be one of the West's most cherished values.

You may consider that the "Three Percent" of my side is overreacting the other sides' threats of naked force and murder, but they'll still be just as dead if we'd kept the "discussion" to the level of a faculty lounge. We simply don't care if you consider this truth (not "stereotype") as "negative". It is what it is.
Employees these days have a paradoxical role to fill. On one hand, the value in an employee is the ability to solve a problem. On the other hand, they have to market themselves as passionate people. The only way to do so is to exclaim interest in interesting subjects which often are directly tied to company concerns.

Say a company needs good testers. I would find it very hard to sell myself as a passionate tester. Instead I would say something that's actually interesting to me like AI or machine learning.

In order for something to be interesting, it has to be somewhat unknown. How can you be interested in something you have completely mastered and know everything about. It just becomes process for you.
Morality is not purely a matter of opinion, not more so than say the theory of evolution. You can say that evolution is just an opinion of how things work, but you have to be willing to take very unreasonable or illogical assumptions for your reasoning. It is the same with morality. To say that all morality is relative requires unreasonable assumptions, like saying that minimizing harm is sometimes harmful. Let's say that morality aims to minimize harm, well, we can make some definitive conclusions from that, like saying that killing people is bad unless it is to prevent further harm they or others would do. That throws a completely different light on the death penalty, where it is hard to argue that it is morally justified, unless you again force your way through contrived reasoning.

I think the biggest cause of immorality is that we assume morality cannot be treated logically and scientifically, and instead call it the province of faith. Faith has proven itself wholly unsuited as arbitrator of morality. Maybe it's time to give science and logic a go at it.
From my own military experiences, I would not be at all surprised to find people deployed with deficiencies in equipment, training and oversight.

I never said he wasn't a racist. I said he wasn't a member of the KKK. You haven't provided any evidence that he was.

"Not being a member of the KKK" doesn't mean someone wasn't a racist. If he was a racist, we can say that without saying he was a member of the KKK. You'll note that I linked an article titled "President Woodrow Wilson was a Racist", which successfully accomplished this.
>what is moral is a scientific question

I'd argue that this not the case, that morality is a philosophical question. In some cases one must draw on scientific knowledge to make moral judgments, but that's as far as it goes.

We often overestimate the roll of science and underestimate the roll of philosophy. Most religious philosophies are obvious, while secular ones are over looked and just assumed correct by those who embrace them.

Curious that Schneier recommends discrete log crypto in response to a report that the NSA was breaking most crypto. In hindsight, there's a very good chance that the NSA attack in question was the logjam attack against discrete log DH. But, sure, stick with plain DH if it makes you feel safer.
Well sure, with a tautology like that.

The problem is, for example, that gang violence is exempt from "mass shooting" classification. So yes, we care because there was a mass shooting. It's called a mass shooting because it wasn't poor people shooting at each other.

And still, you're missing the point. Mass shootings make up a tiny fraction of gun violence in this country. We clearly do not discuss gun control due to gun violence, so clearly the goal of gun control is not to curb gun violence. We discuss gun control due to specific, exceedingly rare types of gun violence. One can only assume that the goal, then, is to prevent those specific, exceedingly rare instances of gun violence.

Congrats on your approach to managing your condition. Couple of things to think about.

First, you may find a continuous glucose monitor helpful to get a more granular view of what's going on. Dexcom [1] makes the most popular one, which is also hackable [2].

Second, keep in mind that all carb avoidance isn't equal. If you up your protein a lot, you could still get postprandial glucose spikes due to gluconeogenesis from protein breakdown. A good low-carb diet for you will be a low-carb, high-fat diet.

Third, for extra bang for your buck, go for a walk after you eat. The CGM, if you get one, will verify the efficacy of that.

Fourth, look into high-intensity exercise, which will help combat your insulin resistance. All exercise is not the same. Weight training is particularly good.

Your MD's reaction is sadly typical. You're taking the right approach by taking matters into your own hands, using her as a backup.

> Except that when you say "failure to obey God" you mean "failure to behave as christians have defined a supposed god wants you to behave",

Its a not-uncommon bit of Christian theology that sin is not acting how God has specifically and personally directed you, individually, to behave.

Now, Christians holding to that model have (varying, even among Christians) beliefs, to which they ascribe varying degrees of certainty, about things which they thing God commands of all people generally, which are therefore incorporated into that. But those beliefs are conceptually separate from the definition of sin.
Thanks! This is actually already available, and a demo of our new Gyroscope Pro offering, which is $7 a month and includes things like this new theme, custom domain name support (which is how I have it going to aprilzero.com), our healthkit iPhone app to power it, etc. Check it out at https://gyrosco.pe/

We want to build this as something that anyone can just go and sign up for and start using. I would love to get more athletes using this. We recently released a running app powered by the Gyroscope data — (see gyro.run) — and it's been really exciting to see people use it to share marathons, training, etc. We still don't have a good solution for things like gym training, which are hard to passively track, but that's something we're definitely thinking about.
Except the GUI of all the programs. I still can't use some dialogues in Eclipse because panels are cut off and buttons are outside of the not-resizable window. This stuff happens way too often in Gnome.

That's hardly 'canonical', and goes directly against many budgeting/tracking philosophies. It definitely doesn't solve the 'where'd it all go' problem, and teaches you nothing about your spending habits and patterns.

Of course if you don't have any money problems, and don't need to break bad spending habits, then go ahead and do it that way - I often do as well.

>> [mental health checks] will not significantly decrease gun violence because most gun violence is not committed by people with mental health problems. Rather, it is committed by people who feel they are morally right in committing that act.

That strikes me as a non-sequitur. Aren't morality and mental health orthogonal?

For example, if someone believed that his refrigerator is God and it speaks to him via the expiration dates on the milk, that would be barking mad. If he based a system of morality on those messages and it told him that bald people are evil and need to die, then he's got moral justification and motivation in his own mind. But he's still barking mad, and a mental health check would show that, right?

Baidu’s Self-Driving Car Takes on Beijing Traffic
Full disclosure: I'm on the iOS team at PlanGrid.

We're a YC-12, VC-backed company. We were profitable within a year of the seed round. We still have the bulk of our Series A in the bank but went ahead and raised a $40 million Series B because terms were extremely good (low dilution plus we can ride out any downturn). I suspect some of these high valuations are simply investors paying a premium to buy in, not an expectation that the company is or isn't worth that much.

When I walk around SF with my PlanGrid shirt on it isn't other people in tech that say hello or know who I am... it's the guys working at construction sites. People in hard-hats and boots who tell us our software has changed their lives.

The tech press and insular SV community obsesses about the ultra-unicorns. Some of us are just busy quietly solving people's needs (usually in industries that have been long-ignored by SV/tech) and we're doing quite well for it.

There may be a bubble but if you build something that provides real, immediate value to customers then the rest of it is just noise.
Kid wants to be a hero, understandable, sometimes kids join the military having been groomed on cartoons and cereal then realize the military culture isn't like GI JOE.

State of mind for him was to expose corruption, again, laudable. From his narrative he attributes previous deaths in his unit to said corruption. Life is at stake.

So kid decides to trigger the most extensive exception in the active theater, attracting the immediate attention of his unit, area command, the air force, the navy, and the marines.

Now the reveal is the narrative is kid quixote but the conclusion--after exploring the why--is going to hinge on the critical question: was it worth it?

He survived. He has the stage he sought after. What was the message he needs to deliver?

Do you, or anyone else, have personal experience with customizing Atlassian's products?

The customizations I've seen at rather big companies have required multiple devs, many months, and the end result has had some rough edges.
