I agree with the implication that an appeal to Bernstein isn't dispositive. But Curve25519 isn't just credible because of Bernstein; it's also been scrutinized intensively by lots of other research groups.

This is why the RFC 3526 groups use primes derived from Pi: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3526

I don't get it. His website says he reads quite a few books. Why can't he just create an amazon wishlist full of books he wants to read and refer to that? Problem solved. Nobody likes getting random stuff, but getting things you would have gotten yourself anyway is not a problem, I'd argue.

Google likes to populate my calendar with the birthdays of anyone I've ever talked to.
With regards to the birthday gifts, we have friends that have their children choose a charity to support via donations.

An example would be the local humane society, and each birthday party attendee is asked to bring something that could be donated, such as leashes, bowls, or food. Then the birthday boy/girl gets to take all of the donations to the humane society.

It's a win/win. No additional clutter, and birthday boy/girl gets life experience with donation and community involvement.

I don't really find it "reasonable", whatsoever, that someone can't sit beside another human being on a plane because SupremeBeingX doesn't want them to. In fact, "reasonable" may be the exact opposite description of the situation.

Great organization—we have Street Sense here in DC with a similar model. I've done a bit of volunteerism with local soup kitchens, shelters, and transitional organizations for the homeless.

The point is: this isn't about media image, this is about making your point effectively. Justin's core point is "Homelessness is a problem. Something should be done." I believe you would agree with that. Calling him an entitled tech bro—true or not—isn't acretive to finding workable solutions.

I'm chiding the Post for being more concerned with media image all around than on the actual problem. (Because that's the article that was shared here.)

To expand on baking, you're going to need a huge variety of pots, pans, baking sheets, pie pans, cake containers, cupcake trays, mixing bowls, a stand mixer, a handheld mixer, rolling pins, ingredients, etc. I know because my sister is really into baking and she has all of that stuff and more; a whole kitchen full. By the time you're all said and done you're in for over $1,000, and a bunch of cupboards are full.

The same applies to a bunch of the rest of hobbies that you mentioned. If you only care about doing something superficially, then sure, you don't need equipment. But to do something well? For example, making good podcasts requires a full setup of audio engineering equipment -- mics, mic stands, various digital audio equipment that plugs into a computer, etc. Similar for running; the people I know that are really into it have all sorts of shoes, GPS running watches, entire wardrobes of running gear (which you NEED to prevent chafing), reflective clothing, heart rate monitors, travel gear to bring with you when traveling for races; the list goes on.

I've been into a bunch of hobbies in my life and every single one ended up accumulating significant amounts of gear. Even just being into programming or gaming, I've ended up with various mechanical keyboards, mice, computers, computer parts, displays, and more.

I hate to be cynical, but I somehow feel a duty to help (seemingly enlightened) people like you, so... "The way to get to your core principles is to ask yourself what aspects of your company are so critical to its integrity that you would rather shut down the company than break those principles." How would anyone know the quality of the principles obtained through such a rationale - that those principles aren't far-fetched, or don't impose unnecessary hurdles that may hurt the company and everyone in it, or are too unsubstantiated to mean anything, and so on? On the individual level such principles have at least the animal nature to start with - survive (which is not a choice) and replicate, and pretty much everything we do will contribute in some way or another to those two. But how can one come up with similar a reason for a company, the existence of which is in itself optional to start with? For companies I haven't found yet any hard principles (other than companies being a form of group effort to address in the end the same individual survival and replication, which as a goal isn't that often reflected in the actual organizational behavior).
This is always framed as a conflict between the government and "the people" but it's every bit as much a conflict between the government and a handful of hundred-billion-dollar megacorporations. Some of these entities are going to benefit from having enormous quantities of data at their disposal, it's just a question of which ones.

Interesting. I hadn't heard about the DRM, I wonder if that really is a possibility? "This design cannot be printed due to a copyright claim by userxyz". Or maybe "this design can be printed for a fee - credit card or paypal accepted."

Just the fact they would build an online-only laser cutter, is a sign to me of deserved suspicion in other areas of the product. I'm also suspicious of the filter's ability to absorb fumes.

He's not really asking you to adhere to his faith. He's personally trying to adhere to his faith and he's asking you for a favor that will help him. Similarly, when somebody asks you the time, they are not attempting to turn you into a watch, they're just looking for some help from a fellow human being. I'm not saying someone is necessarily wrong to consider the request unreasonable, but I think it's unfair to accuse him of shoving his faith on other people.

In this context, "hold" likely does not mean "accepting". I read it to mean closer to "consider", which means that one is able to consider two opposing arguments, and understand them to the point that one could articulate the negatives and benefits of each side. That is very much not doublethink.
Author, over the course of at least 15 years, worked 2 jobs to fund his way through college and went on to start several businesses. He credits his work ethic and contends that he sacrificed a great deal to get where he ended up. However, he feels like Sanders guilts and scapegoats people like him for being millionaires who "everything was handed to (...)" and "don't deserve the money they made".

He descends into bitter resentment towards "people like the smart Yale student who majors in something useless, travels the world, and then graduates with $100,000 in debt that people like me should pay off via higher taxes." People much like "(...) many of the college students [he's] hired in the last few years. They study what they love — philosophy, political science, art, regardless of whether or not they have good job prospects. They travel. Mostly they seem to go to Vietnam and Cambodia. They eat out a lot more than [he] did at their age. They know all the trendy restaurants and hot bars."

Author's experience exclusively reflects of class envy in the Northeast United States: trust fund babies vs. hard-working self-made entrepreneurs, old money vs. new money, liberal arts majors vs. business majors, carefree (careless) people vs. an adversarial 'the world is rigged against me' work ethic. He unironically suggests "Unfortunately, we've come to believe that achievement should be easy. Changing that attitude is the first step towards making yourself more successful." His worldview is framed along this dichotomy; if you're not one, you must be the other. In his view, socioeconomic background has two discrete states: rich by birth and not-yet-rich, race and gender are not considered, and attitude is paramount.

I am surprised big box hardware stores do not have programs to rent out bigger ladders. Personally, I do need a smaller ladder frequently, though. Community/family can be a good way to share tools, too.

I have re-bought tools/parts I was fairly certain I already had, but simply did not have the time to sift through things to find. Especially for home projects that I had a small window to work on and I did not do my due diligence ahead of time to look for them.

> Code was just the medium with which I could create great user experiences — it was never about the actual code. I’m not saying it isn’t important, but I couldn’t care less about indentation, how the project is structured, or if we use camel case or not – as long as it allowed me to build something interactive that could engage end users.

> Funnily enough, those that tell me I’m good are never actually the developers.

While I think part of being a professional is knowing which things matter (i.e. building a decent, maintainable product) and which don't (indentation style), I can't help but wonder if these are red flags. I've worked with engineers in the past who left in their wake a string of first-version products that were built almost unbelievably quickly, but had built-in maintenance, performance, and dependency nightmares that we're still dealing with a couple of years later. These results made the early stakeholders and PMs very happy by churning out a working product at record speed, but boy did we pay for it later.

"that's all that Colorado is: one big haze of pot smoke"

As a CO resident of over 20 years, I have not noticed any change at all. The only outside consumption I've seen is in people's private yards, just like when I was an undergrad at CU in the 90s.

I think it's easy to blame others, but programmers are optimistic by nature and bad at estimating. Also, I think all of us have had the opposite scenario where a request comes in from a business-minded person that they think will take forever and it turns out to be trivial. It feels great to do a lot of good very quickly, independent of what the project schedule says.
I love Termux, it works remarkably well and gives me real ssh. The app store ssh clients are OK, but I'd rather just use ssh on the command line. It doesn't do X11 AFAIK, but it works very smoothly with all the normal Unix utilities I use.
No, the problem is that they are "should" questions, and thus experiments can't answer them at all. Now, if you assume a moral framework in which a certain combination of consciousness or intellectual capacity on the part of the mother makes her rights paramount (or one which does so for the child, or one which does some calculus on the relative levels of those traits between the mother and the child to determine which is paramount) then you can reduce this to a fact question that is conceivably resolvable by experiment (and, thus, leave only the problem that you mention), but I would assert that there is no such consensus moral framework, so you've actually identified the easy problem with resolving the conflict, while ignoring the fundamental and intractable one.
> "Imagine what your perfect source would tweet, or what you yourself would tweet in that situation, and search for the words that would probably be in it."

This is a technique I used to use a lot more in the days before Google became the dominant search engine, when I was using Lycos, Alta Vista and Yahoo. In those more primitive search engines that were doing something closer to a full-text search, it was important to use the words and verb tenses that were likely to appear in the answer (or target page/tweet), not in the question.

So for example, instead of querying "Which museum is the Mona Lisa in?" it was best to query "collection includes the mona lisa" and similar phrases.

Needless to say, third generation search engines like Google made this all unnecessary, and hopefully, Twitter will get there too, eventually.
While I have friends who read, they admit they don't read as much as they used to. So giving books or even games to them often results in an expensive dust collector.

And while I admire the act of giving books away, either to BoA or one's local library, I like to go back to my book every once in a while to recall a specific section that resonated. E-readers allows me to save highlights in the cloud, where I can go back to find particular interesting tidbits and find the fuller section if need be. This is helpful complicated concepts that often require multiple reads over time to sink in.

They should just switch to showing nothing but ads in the first page of results and be done with it. I'm sure they will find a way to justify how this is "good for the users", but for me, with my widescreen laptop, the 4th ad will ruin usability even further.
Do you really need so many implicits? I actually learned that they will do more harm than good. I try to avoid them, where ever I can. And actually the playframework doesn't take so long to compile, to make sbt publishLocal after a clean takes no longer than 5 minutes (travis needs 40-50 minutes not sure why) for me, which is actually really fast. I mean running every tests every time takes a while, but I think that people should start incremential compilation / test if they want a fast workflow.
JQuery 1.12.1 and 2.2.1 Released
See https://sivers.org/no2 for a little more context.

There are a few programming and writing projects that I've been wanting to finish for years.

So when I look at a new hobby or interest, like the ones you describe above, I think, “Ah... sounds fun... some day... But first I have to finish what I've started.” Not having the stuff around helps keep me focused.

The pain of not finishing my existing projects is greater than the pleasure I'd get from the new hobby.

(FWIW, the few things I own include the hiking gear you describe.)

Actually, on re-reading the piece, the author isn't claiming he thought up this argument on the spur of the moment. I got confused because of the dramatic narrative, which started with the meeting already going on before the author started talking about his thought process. I now think the author is saying this "first-principles" reasoning is a good way to credibly explain strategic decisions, which makes a lot more sense than using it to deduce strategic decisions.

What a coincidence, I was just thinking about how nice it would be if I could start a minimal javascript linux with toybox and start spacemacs with it (< 64M) and a small mounted filesystem somewhere.

Win 3.11 in the browser would be nice too, there is a whole ecosystem of apps. Windows95b would be slower, but still faster and smaller then Windows98.

I wonder how fast civ1 would run on freedos here.
These examples really emphasize how much it depends on the person and the hobbies/interests involved. In recent months, I've become very interested in arcade and pinball history. Those hobbyists are really wrestling with collecting individual cabinets at $200 to $1000 a pop versus just setting up a single MAME cabinet. Many fans are going MAME (storing 3,000 games in a single cabinet), but the hardcore hobbyists are often outright hostile to the idea and denigrate those who post pictures of their custom cabinets to the forums. For myself, the difference between a genuine cabinet and a PC running the same ROM is negligible.

Now, with virtual pinball, people are starting to encounter the same issue. I bought a real pinball machine recently and plan on squeezing another into my home eventually because the virtual machines simply don't feel the same. At the same time, I setup a virtual machine with 50-plus tables on it that I perpetually tinker with and try to improve with custom controls, larger screens, and eventually digital back-glass.

We have to take it on a case-by-case basis. I remember when Marvel started reprinting and digitizing all their old comics in early 2000. Issues in my collection went from $100-$200 to $10-$20 in value very quikly. I hang those old issues on my walls as art, but when I want to read them, I go to my tablet.
> No way ONE state adversary could rig this.

What about multiple state adversaries? It would be hard as hell but it could be done.

I'd still opt for an astronomical source. If God wants to backdoor our crypto we're SOL, but other than that it would be pretty solid. I also don't get what's wrong with nothing up my sleeve constants. Hashing the word "YOLO" is mathematically unlikely to be a rigged constant to almost "probability of falling through the floor due to random quantum fluctuations" degrees.
