Ask HN: Encrypted Group Mailing List Service?
I am looking for a web app with the following features:

1) It should enable long-form, small group communication, just like a private forum or mailing list. It should support at least 100 users in a group.
2) Client-side encryption -- should be zero-knowledge on the server-side.
3) Usable via a desktop.
4) Does not require a phone number or smart phone to sign up.

I'm not looking for something secure against the NSA or FBI, I figure nothing is secure against the government if they really want you. I am just looking for something that will protect my privacy in the face of attacks by normal hackers, leaks, rogue employees at the hosting company, etc.

Does anybody know of a service that meets the above requirements?

On Trade, Angry Voters Have a Point
Good point. The "book format" in particular has a lot of future. For example, packaging a series of blog posts into a short ebook on a topic, then investing time to polish the content can turn into an excellent "product" to be sold through the website. Fuck ads for other people's products, advertise your own!

It makes sense for blog posts to be free since they are "draft quality," but once an editor has put some thought into making a coherent and comprehensive guide to subject X, it's totally OK to charge for this extra work. And I mean "OK" not as a moral "is allowed to," but in the market "people will buy"-sense.

The extra work the author invests is called information distillation. The author "processes" a lot of information (primary sources like books, research, other webpages) and produces a comprehensive summary of the topic in question. Blog posts are "best effort" acts of information distillation; books are more thorough and deliberate efforts.

I can attest from personal experience that people are interested in information distillation today (I sell math books). I think this trend will continue into the future—the more information out there, the more people will need secondary sources to help them make sense of it.
You seem to be dividing people into "law abiding" and "law disregarding". I posit that it's more complicated, and a law can disincentivize an activity even for people who break other laws.
Yes, this is what I meant -- but the other commenter (cyphar) was correct -- it does not apply to code (as opposed to content), and was not built for that purpose.

It seems like the more likely solution is to just not do open source, or do open source and add some value (support/custom extensions/etc)
Congratulations to both the Servo and Rust team for making it this far. You set out to slay not one, but two of the biggest dragons in all of software engineering, at the same time, and while you may not be done yet, you, uh, err.... have the lance definitely sliding pretty far in and the dragons are definitely noticing and quite upset?

Sorry. The metaphor kinda broke down there. Point is, congratulations. Rust+Servo is one of the most absurdly ambitious projects I've seen in the last twenty years, to make a new browser engine and a new systems-level language. The level of success achieved even to this point is astonishing. I know the road is still long, but I wish you the best in finishing this journey!

I think you are thinking a group of things as a group of types. Those two concepts are separate. A group of things has its own type which is not necessarily related to the type of the things in that group.

If you want an Everything type that is different from the Any type, the only type I can think of would be a type whose instances behave the same as every type. That doesn't make a lot sense to me.
So is this a service or is this open source? Can I set up my own Plotti instance?

Size of installed base matters because it is perfect argument for why using some weird custom hashing does not solve anything as all clients have to use the same algorithm and when your network is interesting target it is also big enough to account for whatever effort is required to break the hash by brute force or generate useful rainbow tables.

I miss ICQ. Well, I still use it occasionally, since it's part of my MirandaIM setup. But I miss it whenever I use Skype for IMs. For starters, I can aggregate ICQ, Jabber and a bunch of other services inside one lightweight open-source client. Also, it had an entirely different social vibe, which is missing from Skype. It was okay to chat with near-strangers in ICQ. It was okay to add people from some random forum to your contact list. It was okay to say "hi" to people when they went online (as opposed to always-online on 10 different devices Skype mentality).

Many go professionals, after reviewing the 2 sets of games, have stated that is quite clear how much AlphaGo has improved in those 4 months.

JavaScript Module Systems Showdown: CommonJS vs. AMD vs. ES2015
I think I've put my finger on why it doesn't seem to explain things.

Let's say guns were solely about entertainment, no other use. Alcohol is also solely about entertainment, so it should have a similar risk/reward ratio. And in the US, about the same number of people (~10k) die of DUIs every year as die of gun homocide (~10k). Yet alcohol does not raise the same fear and terror in the population as guns. The original article even cited drunk teenagers as something we should not care about when there are people who own guns.

It feels like there must be something else driving the fear and revulsion of guns.

>Google can in fact maintain high and consistent standards for incoming developers. But because their processes are so dysfunctional, they overpay to do it.

But there's no evidence that switching to self-paced work samples would cost them less. With Google's popularity, they'd get more false-positives from candidates that copied the code from widely disseminated previous projects. False-positives cost money.

Your medium size firm with smaller volume of candidates won't have that problem of increasing false-positives.

Sure, with whiteboard interviews, the rejected candidates (and even ex-Googlers) can write a "brain dump" blog with blow-by-blow algorithm questions but history seems to show that these don't work so well as cheating mechanisms.

What kind of work sample project could Google realistically design for 10000 programmers to complete? (It can't be as hard as "solve this Clay Millennium problem" or as easy as "reverse this string". Anything between those 2 extremes is trivial to copy to github.) How often do they need to redesign the work sample? What about objective "comparisons" which was touted as a feature of that method? What about the programmers that don't want to do the work sample? (They do exist!) Is there also a cost to filtering them out?

It's great you're really enthusiastic about work samples and want more companies to adopt it but I see no slam dunk evidence that they are the universal best method for every company.

"Actually, the most ironic thing about this part of the gun debate is that the people who are least persecuted by actual systemic violence against subpopulations of the United States both 1) insist that this violence doesn't exist or is justified; and 2) worry about their own non-existent completely hypothetical persecution at some vague distant point in the future.

All the while, people who are in actually persecuted groups (poor, racial minorities who have double digit odds at incarceration) don't get involved in the gun debate because they know the "standing up to the man" fantasy is dangerous bullshit."

I regret that I have but one upvote to give for this.
Rather than two events which, however horrible, are an anomaly.

How many mass shootings per year over the last decade? Two decades? And so on?

It's like those who pointed to Australia banning guns after the Port Arthur massacre:

"Homicides went up three per cent the next year! Gun control doesn't work!"

1. "Homicides" encapsulated other methods than "with a gun", and most importantly,

2. Whilst there are 17,000 homicides a year in the US for which a three per cent rise represents over five hundred more deaths, the conveniently omitted fact was that that same three per cent rise in Australia meant that deaths went from 94 to 96, in other words, an anomaly.
> Even if the government is able to mandate back doors be put into phones, criminals will simply change to use other software.

People say this a lot. But I'm not so sure. I'm sure they will some of the time, but I bet there are a lot of unsophisticated criminals out there who will use whatever consumer software I use to message my wife about who's picking up milk on the way home today. It's just easier.

We've actually seen evidence to support this position as well. The Paris attackers coordinated over unencrypted SMS when, even now, there are far more secure solutions that one can easily install.
To this and all such similar analogies, sure, anything can be used to kill, but let's talk about only the things whose primary purpose is to kill. Like Guns. Bombs. Canons. etc.

Now one might argue that the "primary purpose" for them is their safety and not killing, but no, it's not. That is assuming safety by creating a 'threat of getting killed' to the opponent.

I know this punishment is little harsh (and should be decided on per case basis based on the level of negligence) - but we should also agree that if there's no punishment whatsoever - this will continue happening. Mass killings is a real problem that needs to be solved, and most of them get access to guns in their mom's drawers or something like that.

> you would have to have the CPU involved in setting up and negotiating transfers between the NIC and FPGA and a second driver between the FPGA and software

Plenty of "kernel bypass" and RDMA type functions use shared/user-space memory for "zero-copy" (in reality one copy), operations between NIC and software. If a similar scheme can be used with the FPGA then it would not have too much overhead.
I agree, not as direct/efficient as having FPGA serdes I/O go directly to some SPF+/network transceiver, but then you'd also be taking up valuable FPGA gate capacity to run NIC PHY/MAC and standard L2/L3 processing functions that you get from a NIC.
That is a classic. I would think the default is just an old vestige of mesozoic machine limitations. And its not like everybody is scaling up, most of the time it is indicative of a leak, and you would be happy to get the heads up.

The problem with Go was evaluating leaf nodes. Sure, you could quickly innumerate every possible position 6 moves out, but accurately deciding if a position 1 is better than position 2-2 billion is a really hard problem.

In that respect chess is a much simpler problem as you remove material from the board, prefer some locations over others etc. Where go is generally going to have the same number of pieces on each board and it's all about balancing local and board wide gains.
I find it strange when companies use this terminology:

> There's no doubt that with further refinement, we'll soon see AI play Go at a level well beyond human

Why is there no doubt? I strongly doubt there even exists a go level that's well beyond human. There is hypothetical perfect play of course, but there is absolutely no way to guarantee perfect play. And while I have no way to judge, I've heard that 9p players may not be all that far removed from perfect play. One legendary player once boasted that if he had black (no komi, I assume), he would beat God (who of course plays perfect go).

There is of course no way to know if that's true or gross overconfidence, but it's certainly possible that there's not all that much room left beyond the level of 9p players.

AlphaGo will no doubt improve, and reduce the number of slips like his move 79 in the 4th game, but it's never going to be perfect, and there's always the chance that it will miss an unexpected threat.

While I understand what you are getting at here, basically, this is still just a complete information game, and didn't solve AI. You are drastically understating the complexity of Go. It isn't actually possible to evaluate a significant fraction of the state tree in the early mid game because the branching factor is roughly 300. The major advance of AlphaGo is a reasonable state scoring function using deep nets.

Unless you have or are a PhD student in AI who has kept up with the current deep net literature I assure you that the whole of Alphago will be unintuitive to you. However, if you were an AI PhD student, you likely wouldn't be so dismissive about this achievement.
You don't, but only because you have experience seeing footballers playing well to compare against.

As for mobile phone numbers being randomly placed inside larger space of all phone numbers, while this makes some sense for US/NANP, in most of the rest of the world mobile numbers have some semi-well defined prefixes (as in "number that starts with 6 or 7 is certainly mobile phone, discerning what operator is sligthly non-trivial") and even for NANP there probably is some publicly available database that says whether given number is mobile or not.
