It's not a question of 'is meat bad for the planet'. It's that the internet seems to be full of people who fancy themselves sharp-minded critical-thinking skeptics running around accusing Big-Ag of motivated reasoning with regards to carbohydrates while ignoring that meat production is part of Big-Ag and has just as much cause for motivated reasoning.

TMG had a similar effect on me after taking it for three months. The effect was repeatable for others in my extended family.

The effect initially was a very intense feeling of being connected with everyone. The intensity faded over time but the effect still remains. For example I actually enjoy small talk.

After some reaearch I believe that TMG facilitates the breakdown of tonic dopamine (background dopamine outside of neurons) and high levels of tonic dopamine relative to tonic serotonin suppress the release of oxytocin.

LSD is serotogentic and may work in a similar way by stimulating serotonin receptors and simulating raising the level of tonic serotonin vs dopamine.

Oddly people on SSRIs complain about reduced empathy as a side effect so there may be a U shaped curve or something else going on.

Maybe I'm a bit confused; if this bill were to pass, would this make SSH illegal? How about geli on FreeBSD? Am I going to be required to hand over my encryption keys on my server?

Renting a car works well for weekend road-trips.

In small cities it's often feasible to live within walking/biking distance from town center even if the public transport is poorer than big cities.
It's a natural monopoly because the government automatically receives copies of your tax information. You couldn't just set up a competitive market for tax preparation software with the government selling access to everyone's W2s.
Many have noted this isn't about security vs. privacy. It's about security vs. security [1] [2] [3]

Also, I think there's something different about getting access to someone's digital communications that makes digital data different from data previously obtained by warrants. Digital databases increasingly contain the entire history of people's communications. That's never been true before and it warrants additional discussion at the very least.

The other argument against this bill is it is unenforceable. Terrorists won't be using the government-mandated encryption tools. They'll create their own.

This is an opportunity for technologists to step up and take a larger role within government by educating representatives and the public, starting campaigns or non-profits, or perhaps running for office.

Indeed. Interest rates affect (a) asset prices and (b) business investment.

Low rates are supposed to affect the economy to increase inflation through (b): businesses buying inventory, building factories, developing new products, etc. This "transmission mechanism" is now broken because there is a shortage of suitable demand. Businesses do not want to borrow to expand because there is no good prospect of a return on the expansion. So we can't push on that rope.

Low rates caused a property boom which resulted in a temporary economic boost to several European countries (especially Spain and Ireland): the cheap money ended up in the pockets of construction workers, who spent it.

We need some means of diverting the cheap money from (a) to (b). Possibly a tax on leverage, if that's feasible.

In the short term, the UK should get a proper property tax and apply punitive rates to property owned by non-EU individuals or companies.
A bus infrastructure? You must mean a self-driving taxi- or uber-like smart car infrastructure.

Yes, I know it doesn't solve the "problem" completely, but it is a step in that direction. The next step would be sharing rides.
It's not really about hacking Touch ID. Apple has published a really thorough whitepaper[0] on the security of Touch ID and the secure enclave. I don't really think that hacking the Secure Enclave to extract fingerprints is even possible.

The problem I see is using fingerprints which are unique to your person, unchangeable, and spread around us in a very liberal fashion as passwords.

Imagine for a second that the San Bernardino iPhone had used Touch ID, don't you find it highly plausible that the US government would be able to find a good fingerprint that could be used to unlock the phone? I guess they even had his body at hand so it would have been dead simple.

The plain-spoken language of the bill is irritating, because it hides how much assistance it provides to the existing surveillance machinery.

For example, it doesn't exempt the FISA court, as far as I can tell, and seems to embrace that use.

I'm having a little trouble with the paradoxes... "Nothing in this Act may be construed to authorize any government officer to require or prohibit any specific design". Is this a fig leaf? If you design a system that makes it impossible for you to comply with the act, you're still required to comply, right?

I pray this can't pass in my country.

So many of my peers, many of whom are up to their neck in student loan debt and have mediocre paying jobs, seem hellbent on buying a house, usually due to the "rent is throwing your money away bro!" argument.

Did you know you don't need to buy a house? Like it's not legally required, even though everyone seems to think its the greatest thing you can possibly do with your money?

Some food for thought:

This is exactly why I see movies exclusively at Alamo Drafthouse these days.

I honestly don't understand why you'd shell out ten bucks to half pay attention to a film. Or, as the article suggests, maybe I'm just too old to get it :)
Because you don't have a perfect solution, you don't want to do anything? Really, as mentioned many times elsewhere in this discussion, a half-assed implementation is better than none. A poor implementation would probably solve not even just a few, but a majority the issues that a "perfect" implementation would. Just disclaim the quality of the solution to the users and be done with it until you can come up with something better.

You cite the freenode mess. All true. Even with that major screwup, it protected their users to a certain extent, even with compromised keys after the fact. (The majority of snoopers aren't motivated enough to store the ciphertext).

1. You won't be getting on a plane then?

2. You fit your life to the schedule, just as you fit existing journeys around the fact your car can't do 300 mph or drive over water. It isn't worse, just different.

3. Perhaps the neighbourhood wouldn't be so shitty if everybody wasn't in a car isolated from their surroundings.

4. Cars have been getting bigger all the time, those efficiency gains have been squandered on SUVs.

5. Maybe, although basing your transport policy around freak events isn't that sensible.
I also live in Philly and totally disagree. Owning a car here is sort of like an albatross on your neck. A car DOES NOT save time in Philly and restricts freedom more than enabling it. If you need to go to a remote corner of philly, it only takes a minute to grab an uber/taxi and you don't have to worry about parking. A bike or a motorized scooter is also a practical option because Philly is flat.

I would get rid of my car if I could but need it to get to work in NJ, even so, I hardly ever use it outside of my commute.
Interesting, this is quite the opposite from Beijing. 7500 RMB/ month rent translates to around a 20,000 RMB/month mortgage (not exactly since down payments are much larger). But we are also at peak proper bubble.
Counter point - it does not for me.

Attempting to use public transport for me would involve an hour walk (in the snow, half the year), and an hour and a half on the bus. A car, on the other hand, is right around a 20 minute drive on a bad day.
Don't forget the politicians. Remember, we're all equal, just some of us are more equal than others.
> GitHub changing the binary being downloaded? They could serve a different signature.
> Another committer changing the tag? They could equally change the signature....

No they couldn't, not unless they have your private key.

(Debian does actually require all keys used to sign debian packages to have a trust path back to them - if you want to become Debian maintainer for a project you have to meet up with a Debian developer and have them sign your GPG key - so GitHub or another committer couldn't just use a different key to sign with).
You are misinterpreting what the paper said and what I am saying in order to oil the axe you are grinding.

First, one can dispute “programming ability is distributed in two humps” without implying that “everyone can program.”

Second, your proposition isn’t even a consistent proposition. If programming talent really is rare, then being egalitarian won’t have any effect on wages: Some people can, some cannot, and the free market will quickly sort out that you cannot build pyramids with thousands of unskilled programmers.

If wages are stagnant, one possible explanation is that more people can program than you would care to admit. Which explains why you are ranting about spreading the myth that programming ability makes you a special, delicate flower. If you can socially engineer people into not becoming programmers, you believe there will be more money for you.

What you fail to realize is that as an industry, “a rising tide lifts all boats.” The more talented people there are, the larger the pie we get to share. More programmers equals more software, equals more tools, equals more companies, equals more hardware, equals more demand for software, and so it goes until software has finished eating the world and it becomes a mature, stagnant industry.

If you feel your wages are not rising as quickly as you like, perhaps you should look into other possible causes, such as a lack of skill in negotiation, or choosing to be an employee instead of an entrepreneur, or wage-fixing by companies with no-hire policies, or the practice of handing out paper stock options in lieu of cash for startup employees.
Github doesn't have your private key, so they won't be able to serve a valid signature.
The only thing they could do is to substitute an older signed version when you request a newer version.

The issue is probably just infrastructure.

"Germany builds another new bike highway in the European bike highway grid allowing anyone to bike from any point in the EU to any other point in the EU easily".

"Average age for kids to get a bike goes down even more to below 3"

Infrastructure and culture over here in Europe are very different – you can easily bike to another country and back, without ever having to worry about finding somewhere to bike. You can literally bike or walk anywhere.

A lot of that obviously because walking and biking infrastructure in Europe has existed for millenia on these scales.
Windows 95 to 2000 and the respective Microsoft software during this time had the best interfaces, hands down. Minimalistic, grey, fast.
Yes, up until it comes to light that there is very little reason to believe that the owner is guilty. More importantly though they wouldn't handcuff him and trash his business when there's clearly no probable cause to do so.
I no longer drive for a variety of reasons, and here in Florida at least where everyone has, it often seems, 2 cars, and there is very little good public transportation, it's not really very fun.

I get things thrown at me by random drivers at least once a month. I have to be constantly aware of drivers chatting on cells not seeing me and literally hitting me head on at intersections.

Trying to date, at my age, with no car is almost impossible.

Pretty much the only other people I see riding bikes are the homeless. And then there is the stigma that if your riding a bike, it means you obviously have DUI and/or other issues.

But I love riding my bike. I've been a constant bike rider since I was 6yo and it has and always will be a source of joy and freedom to me.

Like I enjoy saying "drive a car, burn money and get fat...ride a bike, burn fat and save money."

All these dietary fads seemed to emerge around the same time as nutritional science.
Please make sure to report any issues so they can be fixed.
Fresh vegetables are typically only labelled by society as 'fresh vegetables' because they're so calorie-poor you'd need a fridge full of the stuff every day to feed someone enough calories that they don't lose weight. Efficient calories don't often get called 'vegetables', but some sort of essential staple food. Vegetables average around 100 calories per pound: http://www.beyondveg.com/billings-t/cal-par/calorie-paradox1...

.

Calories we can produce really, really well with various techniques:

Cereal grains - maize, rice, wheat, sorghum / millet

Legumes - soya, various beans / lentils / peas

Some root vegetables - potato, sweet potato, taro, cassava, yam, beet

Sugarcane

Plantains & Bananas

What's your point? If you can afford to rent a manhattan penthouse, you could afford a house pretty much anywhere on earth.

You're just bragging..this article isn't about choosing to live in the city or the burbs - it's about those of modest means who in the recent past have been able to afford homes and now can't.
It's almost certainly true for some vegetables, but I'm not sure any of those crops account for a majority of a vegetarian diet. Soybean, corn, potatoes, rice and wheat are like, really awesome.

But "let's not use any animal products at all" is a much harder sell. "Hey, if you eat mostly chicken and pork with just the occasional steak or burger on a special occasion you can get like 50%+ of the environmental benefits" is a much more plausible way forward for the US.
I was explaining the OP why there is spin. And why spin is taking that shape.

And that was all there was to my post. But since you are playing Tipper Gore to my Dee Snider:

Why I get that impression - because science is also political. As are the people that do it, write for it, fund it and so on. We people are stupid, biased, and conformist. We fall in line. We do what will bring us money or social capital. We twist our reality to fit the desired outcome. We shred to pieces papers we disagree with, but only skim the one that confirm out initial assumption. We love to offer post facts justification how we were right all along.

I am from former communist country - I know how whipping science and arts to fit the party line is done. I have seen it.

In the west it is not different just subtler. People are more afraid of being on the wrong side of society, than being wrong.

That is how the world works.

And with tech powerhouses like Japan, China, Taiwan and South Korea and India that both produce, utilize domestically and export a lot of tech talent - I am not sure how white is tech.
Touch ID is like a bike lock. It won't stop a sophisticated attacker, but it's enough to stop your coworkers from reading your messages, and it makes the phone worthless for thieves.

The biggest advantage of Touch ID is that people who never had a passcode on their phone now use it.

Really? You can bike 100 miles each way to do something active and not be too tired to do it?

Also ropes, parachutes and other adventure activity equipment doesn't bike well.
"for people with socio-affective issues it has some relevance"

It may. It would enlarge the amount of things we use to relate to when we're communicating but it's not essential for a natural-perceived relation. The mechanics may be all what's necessary. From what I've noticed, all that non-autistic persons are really interested in this regard is the belief that the other person is emotionally-empathetic, and that interest can (more or less) be catered for.

An interesting comparison would be how much of the US has a comparable population density and less public transport. The very high density areas of the US tend to already be better served than the rest of the US. You can take a train to rural Massachusetts, but it has ~10x greater density than the US at large (that's a fuzzy number and not carefully determined; it's ~100x for the less populated western states and ~500x for Alaska).
"Certain communication service providers that distribute licenses for a covered entity’s products and services also must ensure that these products and services are capable of providing information or data in an intelligible format."

I'm having trouble understanding the meaning of that, but is it saying if you provide a means of encrypting customers data you must be able to access it unencrypted?
Why not write an interface for getting the radius and a radius sorter for sorting on that interface? I made a modified version of your code to illustrate.

The best thing we can do now without government involvement is focus on carpooling. In private sector that is something we can control and influence independently. Public transportation can be demanded and new options added, however we have delegated that to our government and representatives. We would need to uniformly demand more of it over time.

During interim if we find carpools and try that, in theory we could reduce much of the climate, health, traffic, and deprecation concerns.
we all should be more accepting and this wouldn't happen. my god, let them all in. we are truly to blame here for what we did and continue to do. open up the borders please.

My experiences are from Edinburgh, Cambridge and secondhand reports of various London suburbs. Certainly I don't know very many people who regard renting as a choice which makes economic sense for them if they could buy (which they can't).

London may be a bit strange due to overseas money putting up prices.
May I ask where you live? The countryside can mean any amount of distance. In many parts of the US the "countryside" between cities could stretch hundreds of miles.

I live outside of Detroit, but I'm originally from Indianapolis. That's ~300 miles, a 4.5 hour drive by car. I drive that stretch about once every other month to visit family, do work functions (I work from home; my company is in Indianapolis) and other things.

As I make this drive, through what is almost exclusively small towns and farms, there's no way public transportation could be made affordable enough to cover the vast distances required so that the reliance of cars in this area would be diminished.

And that's in the Midwest, where the cities aren't that far apart (every major city is 2-5 hours away from the others)! Imagine Texas, where you can drive in a straight line for >10 hours and still be inside that state.
Do you have any assurances your paper documents were not immediately scanned? Do you know what kind of access controls are enforced on the file cabinet they're stored in? Are they susceptible to a janitor who gets approached by a shady dude with a briefcase of money? The larger point I'm trying to make is that this is no longer something you have control over and have no guarantees about who else has a copy of it, and therefore should not be relying on it being kept secret, and moreover should assume it has been compromised.
My parents generation all bought houses, watched the prices double, then went on up the housing ladder. Now they all own £500,000 - £1,000,000 houses. Sure it took them 20 years, but that's good money to be made.

So everyone you've ever gone to for advice, all the people you look up to say 'buy a house'

And there's no houses to rent round here.
What's the irony here?
This bill is a joke, right? Right? Anyone?

This would ironically only jeopardize the safety of law-abiding Americans and lawful American interests. It would be utterly useless for anything else, including terrorism, espionage, criminality and foreign interests.
ketogenic diet is a fad.

just like any other diet (paleo and other shit).

This is hilariously absurd.

So let's say Microsoft provides me with a computer.

I go make some cool encryption program on the computer. Now I can use the computer to encrypt data.

One court order later and Microsoft is now required to decrypt the data I encrypted using their computer.

All Microsoft did was provide a programmable computer. Now they must do the impossible. This bill is ungodly horrible.
One is general entertainment (think 16 - 24 demographic, male, using 4chan and facebook). Although it's got a USP, during the time spent coding the competition has increased (which I view as a positive). I do have an edge but it will take time to build user base and to drive advertising money.

Other one is SaaS aimed at power-users of one particular global social media channel. Senior marketing specialists, PRs and similar type of folk. Very innovative tool, narrow niche, big subscription price. This one has a better short-term cash generating prospect compared to my first startup.
... but only if they realize to use it.

Not to say that I'd approve this farce.
