Salsa20 / ChaCha20 are quite nice when you want to do byte-for-byte file encryption. It's a good choice in a lot of situations.

The unusually reduced number of rounds is more difficult to explain, since I expect hard drive I/O would be the bottleneck in almost any situation. Maybe it's just a little more "stealthy" to not have elevated CPU usage while the ransomware is incubating.

If you're referring to the quote at the bottom of the article, that's from a different judge than the one who signed-off on this warrant.

In any case, the judge involved didn't have an opportunity to research "Tor exit node", even assuming he is the most competent and responsible judge in Seattle, because that information wasn't included on the warrant. That's... kind of the exact point of the article.
The functional API removes the need for a dedicated autoencoder layer. But maybe in the future we will have a dedicated autoencoder model, if there's interest in that (with autoencoder-specific methods).
App sec best practices: How to assess risks before pen testing
Before I went to university I did a lot of UI and web design with very light programming here and there.

In school I studied computer science because I knew I liked computers and I didn't know what else to do.

Being around a bunch of intellectually serious people (not in my program so much, more the musicians and literature and biology students), I pushed myself to develop a perspective as a scholar and an intellectual. I ended up studying opera for a year and doing a minor in psychology. Both of those experiences, plus the experience of being pushed hard in some key computer science contexts (particularly programming language theory) were immensely formative for me. I can't imagine doing what I'm doing now (designing platforms for software development) without all of those experiences.

I could've easily skipped school and just gone straight into industry. I was already earning $15/hr doing web design in high school (~1998).

I'm not sure where that would've led. If I have to guess, I would've probably ended up a web dev in Boston and I would be a very wealthy WASPy family man in the suburbs now at 34.

As it is I am an artist and an intellectual in California. I am actually "in the world" in a way I don't think I would've been if I hadn't been pushed through the intellectual ringer for so long. But it turns out the world is a bleak place compared to the relative safety of where I started. I think I've gone much further towards making something of myself but I am much less happy than I would've been. The Tree of Knowledge allegory is much weightier and more frightening to me now that I'm older. As a child knowledge seemed like a silly thing to villify.

It's so hard to say what would've been though.

> The ability to run on a sulphur-free fuel offers great potential and provides innovative solutions for the world’s energy needs

What are the incentives here. Can't imagine the price of ethanol being cheaper than marine diesel. Even if prices are equal the energy density and specific energy is about half that of diesel. Or are they anticipating legislation to ban sulfur fuel (or maybe at least get tax incentives in some places for using non-sulfur fuels)?

While we're at it, there are 2 kinds of proposal for guaranteed income:

Basic income tends to postulates that humans have needs they deserve to satisfy (food, shelter…), even if they don't have any marketable skills. Basic income is a kind of charity.

Salary for Life tends to postulate people are productive, even if no money is involved. An elder couple looking over their grandchildren do something useful, even though they're explicitly paid for it. Unemployed people don't just slack off, they often work for free. Work deserves income, and that's what Salary for Life is: not charity, but the recognition of one's worth to society.

There are also practical differences: Basic income tends to be financed with income tax. Salary for Life proposes to be financed with "Non-wage labour costs" (yuck, what a crappy name).

Finally, basic income is mostly compatible with capitalism, and can only increase as much as the need for labour decreases. Salary for Life on the other hand is inherently socialist, and mostly needs the abolition of lucrative property (you can still own your house and your stuff, but you can't rent a house or own a factory).

A great site (IMHO) for keeping up with musicians in the style of these guys is Jessie Scott's musicfog.com. Jessie Scott was the program director for X Country on XM, before it was replaced with whatever Sirius runs there now and it was her programming that really expanded my music base (I would likely have never heard of any of these artists if not for X Country).
That could very well be true!

However, Polaroid has never cost 10 cents (adjusted for inflation) and it's essentially impossible (no pun intended) for that to ever happen going forward.

What I can say as a medium format film photographer is that having the constraint of knowing each shot has a real cost absolutely forces me to become a much better photographer. You just make each shot count and you'll end up remembering why you took each shot.

You'll never end up with 250 shots of a house party with dozens of nearly identical shots ever again. You'll take one shot that captures a moment and then focus on living in that moment.

People ask me if I would ever switch to a D-SLR. I smile and inform them that actually I've already upgraded from digital. You'd have to pry my cameras out of my dead hands.
When I was 16, my mom make me take out (and cosigned for) a $500 loan at our credit union, specifically to ensure I had a credit history. IIRC, I never spent it on anything; I just used it to pay off the loan, and counted the interest as a cost of acquiring credit. At the time it seemed inane, but it makes a lot more sense now.

Do you have a relative or friend who would cosign for a relatively small loan for the same purpose?

Blech. "Do your time" is right.

Just about every recent college grad I talk to complains about how miserable their student loans are making them. Things like, "I would leave this job and do something more interesting if I didn't have student loans."

If education was cheaper and didn't cause that misery, I'd be a much bigger fan of it. But it's not, so now all but the richest and most talented hate it.

The problem with these sorts of discussions is that everyone seems to apply their engineering mindset to everyone else's. You may be smart and successful, but those who aren't will end up with student loans and very little to show for it. All because everyone in every inch of their lives told them to go. As engineers, we need to consider them, too.
I consider opt-out to be an anti-pattern. You should have to give consent for someone to keep data on you.
Well, any card with mic pres can do it, including a lot of older SoundBlaster type cards. I wouldn't recommend mucking around with doing things that way, but it could be done.

Most people rip vinyl using a hardware phono stage (which is a preamp + RIAA eq), but there are some audiophiles who prefer to rip using a straight mic pre, which bumps the levels up without applying any eq, and then applying suitable eq in software.

In theory, this would let you play around with different variants of the eq curve, and it would mean not needing a phono stage but only a (cheaper) mic preamp. In practice, most people who rip vinyl are going to have a phono stage anyway, because they want to listen in addition to rip, and there's just not that much benefit of doing it in software vs. using a cheap-but-decent analog phono stage, so few people do.

The exception seems to be people who are into early 78s, which often have proprietary eq curves.
It's often hard to put that sort of thing into words.

Mimicking things that provoke a good gut reaction or are proven to have been successful is a huge part of the startup game. I think samples like this provide some good 'compost' for developing taste, provoking some gut reactions, and inspiring your own takes on the ideas (a bit like Dribbbbbble et al do for designers) - more than direct advice like 'avoid adjectives' or 'always try to use the active voice' might.

The use of the word "ritual" seems to imply behavioral patterns done without fully understanding them. But a full explanation for human behavior requires a lot more than just understanding monkey behavior (why stop there rather than at mammal behavior, or tetrapod behavior, or RNA replicator behavior), it requires a perfect model of the universe extrapolated over 14 billion years which is forever beyond our grasp.

"Ritual" also implies behavior that is done by rote or under duress. But that leaves out behavior that is done because it is desirable or an expected end of it is desirable. The drive to pursue pleasure does not require an explanation, it is its own explanation, much like the drive to avoid pain requires no explanation either.

> It makes me wonder what would happen to us if we didn’t have any more rituals to perform or standardized games to wake up to.

You describe the absence of all drives, a very unusual state. Sounds like depression, frankly.
Destructuring and Default Parameters in ES6
The really scary thing is that as he points out, it actually seems to be designed with an apparently reasonable amount of isolation between the primary and secondary - it's just that something managed to completely abrade the insulation. Not sure if it was UL compliant as designed because their requirements for transformer construction are quite complicated, but it certainly seems plausible.

He's reviewed numerous really questionable power supplies[1] with a gnat's whisker of separation between the mains and low voltage sides and much more dubious transformers, but somehow none of those actually managed to put 240 volts on the output...

Ok, but I thought they made a lot of money through transaction fees.
Personally, I care more about what an prospective employee was doing rather than the where. If you are a Software Engineer at Unknown Widgets Corp (UWC) that has been heading up a small team of engineers to build a complete product, then I'm more interested than if you're a Software Engineer that has been silo'd in a very specific area at Dell.

All that being said the company you're at does matter for a couple of reasons. One is there is a small level of bias towards known companies. If two engineers have been doing the same kind of work at Facebook or UWC, I'll probably have a slight unconscious bias towards the engineer from Facebook.

Ultimately, I think the best bet is to go where you think you'll be happiest and have the most opportunities to learn. It's good to think about the impact that decisions will have on your long-term career, but the best way to get ahead is to be a stellar engineer. The happier you are in your day-to-day work, the more effort you'll put in to growing as an engineer to meet the challenges. And the more challenges that you're faced with, and the more smart people that surround you, the better opportunity you'll have to grow.

I'm afraid of the moment when they get more clever. Or if they include filesystem drivers that silently encrypt every file... if done right, you can even compromise backups transparently for weeks until arming, so that backups are essentially useless too.

I agree. I am weary when I see big company names on a resume. I've had interviews where someone's whole job was creating DTOs for a service layer or writing queries in a database. That's the worst kind of pigeonhole and it happens in big companies where everyone is in their own silo.

People become their inputs (specs) and their outputs (code) and people are layered in the same way code is, like an assembly line. And since the inputs and outputs are standardized, whole layers can be outsourced. As a business owner, I can appreciate the benefits of predictable results, but as a developer and a human, I can't justify hiring someone who is simply a cog in a machine and happy being that.

Right. So it tells you that typically even when superchargers are needed the driver doesn't need 100% to get where they're going. In order to need the 100% you have to be driving 400 miles in one trip.

The author acts like this is a huge deal. As if every Tesla driver will be filling up their Tesla at a supercharger as often as every other driver fills up their car at a gas station. It seems like a very minor point to most. 400 miles is about the limit of what I'll drive on a road trip, anything more than that I'll take a plane. So if I had a Tesla and I took a vacation once a year within 400 miles, it would mean spending 0 minutes filling up my car for 51 weeks out of the year, and adding an extra hour on each end of the trip. I'd probably be annoyed at the delay if it didn't coincide with a meal but it would probably just remind me how awesome it was that I never have to stop the other 51 weeks..

I'm not necessarily saying that school is useless and that my choice was the best one. I'm saying that there are alternatives that work but are never talked about. I'm saying that "I didn't go to college", shouldn't be a taboo as it so often is.

Wider selection and a fallback that doesn't cause major life consequences is all I'm asking for for others. 18 year olds are smart enough not to make the good decisions, but they often don't have the wisdom to make the right decisions.
Interrupting them is what pushes them to push quality code not just throw it over to ops and hope for the best. It works quite well with deployment velocities that would shock even normal devops shops.
Final Statement on the LambdaConf Controversy
Because these kinds of boards don't typically have BIOS/firmware chips, the booting options are limited to what is provided by the SoC's boot ROM. An USB host stack is immensely complicated and as such something that manufacturers wouldn't want to put in their ROMs (although I recall some Cortex-M0 chips actually implement this).

Many (maybe even most?) SoCs, including at least all previous Allwinner chips do support booting directly from SD cards, though.
Between the time AOL was "the Internet" and the time Google was "The Internet", it was Yahoo.

They introduced webmail to the masses, they pushed user-generated content into the masses via their purchase of geocities. Yahoo Groups was the replacement of usenet as more control was needed for community management.

As a free lancer at the time, every other idiot idea I was approached with was "can you build me a site like Yahoo, but for _____" . Usually the blank was porn or real estate.

I think another thing they are underappreciated for is the industrialization and scaling of placing web ads via ad networks.

As with many big leaders, they weren't the inventor of many of these things -- they often purchased a smaller company or copied a first mover, but brought the idea to "prime time".
> Obviously some end up with bad credit through little fault of their own, but employers (mostly) aren't SJWs so they don't mind false negatives as long as there are more candidates.

That's true but the reason Employers don't use IQ tests doesn't have anything to do with false negatives or them caring about fairness. They don't IQ tests because several protected classes score lower on average on IQ tests, so employers have to prove that an IQ test correlates positively with job performance in order to use them. Most employers don't want to deal with this, so they don't use IQ tests.

Several protected classes also have lower average credit scores. It doesn't matter why, just that they do. Therefore it is likely also discriminatory, and and employer should have to support the assertion that a credit score is an indicator of job performance.

My guess is that there haven't been enough lawsuits to scare employers out of using them yet.
Quotes can vary widely from one provider to another, hence the ranges. Right now we are using predictive pricing based on historical data, so that also can create wider ranges. We are working on integrating with pricing APIs which will make the pricing real time.

Moving companies probably have the largest gaps, with quotes sometimes being $10K+ different between two moving companies. That's fairly typically, so those ranges will always be wide.

The comparisons are based on a common volume. I'm happy you asked this because a lot of people get taken advantage of by simply not evenly comparing options on a volume basis. You're primarily paying for space when you move. We eliminate the room for error by always comparing options on an even basis.
Your reply is kind of off-topic, don't you think? Nowhere on the site do I say that a desktop browser uses OpenSSL. I'm not sure where you got that from.

Either way, thanks for looking at our website!

please let me know how someone can be MITM'ed when connecting to medicalcannab.is over Tor.

When you connect to the domain with torbrowser, the server detects your IP, then redirects to the appropriate .onion site if coming from an exit node. In order to be MITM'd, you'd have to either be using a Tor exit node that was compromised, or my server would have to be completely compromised beforehand.

neither of these seem like likely scenarios, so I'm curious as to what you see that I don't.
