To be honest, when I started reading the article, I thought to myself "Great, another long winded dissertation on the shape of letters", but when I read further, the article goes into so many more aspects of the movie that I was completely enthralled.

Discussion of the ship's scuttling procedure, and the odd 'destruction keyboard' layout in particular I found totally fascinating. I was actually quite surprised at the level of detail the set designers went to with this movie.

If you are not a typography fan - do yourself a favour and push through the initial part of the article and wait for the bits where the author zooms in on particular screenshots to explore tiny details like the ship/company logo on cat dishes and beer cans etc.
> Why are the anti-Trump people chanting in Spanish and waving Mexican flags? Trump frightens me, but his enemies are quite clearly not my friends.

You're frightened by people speaking Spanish waving Mexican flags?
But can they prove that they are operating using your pubkey? If so, then you're back to square one -- your malware will prove that it's operating with Intel's (or the malware author's) pubkey. If not, then there's no security.
I don't see that this answers my question. Why can't, say, Great Britain make such an agreement with, say, Spain, and then make the same agreement (or choose not to) with Romania?

Btw, non-EU countries in Europe are already in on some of the agreements that exist between EU countries, without having to agree to everything else the EU does. Wouldn't that be a working kind of collaboration?
>Frankly, I'm voting for Trump because the working class desperately needs a pay raise or I'm afraid we'll eventually have a revolution.

I'm sorry, what? When has Trump given any indication that he is a champion of the working class?

Or on the other hand, can you find a single economist who implies that building a wall on the Mexican border will cause an increase in wages for the working class?

I'm trying to figure out if your post was ironic intentionally.
> You can absolutely run a company that allows users to communicate in interesting ways, and say you support freedom but also refuse to show content you don't want to.

You can say you support free speech and ban free speech you don’t like. What?
> you could forgo references altogether and code Rust as though it were C, with nothing but raw pointers, and it shouldn't take any more time to write than C

Disagree.

In C++ we have sophisticated debuggers, we have standard C library, STL with its containers, algorithms and lots more, boost and other third-party libraries.

When coding typical Rust, we have descent-quality standard library, also big set of third-party libraries.

When coding Rust as though it were C, we have almost nothing, because the rust’s standard library doesn’t expose unsafe API.

Unsafe Rust only takes same time to write as C++ if you’re coding something trivial, like a “Programming 101” homework. For anything even remotely useful, debugger and libraries make huge difference.

A single bounds checking feature (C++ has that with STL containers in debug builds, controlled by _GLIBCXX_DEBUG or _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL) can sometimes save hours.
Yes, it's pretty easy to bully white people. Of course, you'll be bullying 99%, not the 1%.

To do that, you just have to bill white 99%-ers for privileges that 1%-ers gave themself. Tell white 99%-ers that it's somehow solely them who are responsible both for their own sad fate, for taking 1%-ers to power, and also for every racial and classist abuse there is.
Having seen first hand the British media (both English and Scottish) coverage of the debate surrounding the EU referendum, I can confidently say that part of the British electorate has been mislead to think all blame are on the EU institution. There is also the antiquated notion of Nation-State that does not apply to the UK as Northern Ireland and Scotland have voted to remain and are now seeing their future outside the EU against their will.
It caught me by surprise the other day to learn about this. It's not just Twitter and Reddit and Facebook. It's also college campuses and public events, and weird unexpected places like public radio (Planet Money, I think, or Freakonomics. I can't remember which). It's made me question my political loyalties.
Is there a word to describe the kind of person who gets a hard-on when reading this kind of stuff? I'm asking for a friend.
Even if you do understand how things like prototypes work, you will also need to understand how efficiently a compiler can implement changes to them. And how consistent/predictable the resulting code will be in terms of speed.

No, fear is your invention here. I speak Spanish. It doesn't make these protests any less nonsensical. They want to be able to remain in the country illegally so they can do what exactly? Be Mexican nationalists? There's a great place to do that already.
If it weren't so ironic to say "fighting the last war" I'd say it. After all, isn't that what the EU is doing? Essentially, that is the program.

Nationalism was a disaster in 20th century Europe, but local interests will never disappear, and let's hope local culture never does either. Full unification would be boring and soul-less. The flip side of that coin is that when you have a variety of cultures maintaining their differences, it affects trade and all economic activity. The history of the use of the 'commerce clause' in the US is a good example. It was the "go to" law whenever the federal government wanted to control the states.

The EU has tried too hard and created the inevitable backlash. Can we have nation-states in loose affiliation without the goal of entwining them ever deeper? That may be the thing that some people are scared of the most.
>It's free movement of labour between EU member states.

That distinction is kind of meaningless when thousands of people can enter several EU member states pretty much unregulated, then disappear under the radar and go anywhere within the EU.
Great article, but I have to laugh at the "hamburger" menu which slides the entire screen over just to show two links.
Personally, it's swung me from the left to the center. I never thought the left would be the ones censoring and controlling speech.
That's not an undertaking that should be taken lightly. At minimum, you should have a team wherein one of the people making the final design decisions is a cryptography expert.

And I don't mean "I learned how to do textbook RSA in college", I mean more of, "Can tease a previously undiscovered cache-timing side-channel out of a crypto library". (For example, the recent libgcrypt advisories.)

If the words "padding oracle" or acronyms like AEAD sound strange and foreign, that person is not qualified to fill that role.

I would wager most developers lack the background to make a messaging service that is actually secure. (To anyone reading this: Please don't let this fact magnify any sense of impostor syndrome you may have. You're far from alone. Even the experts won't embark on this endeavor without peer review.)
Most people don't memorize the commands for all of these, and googling for them everytime gets old.
Have you not seen the problems with censorship in r/the_donald ?

Reddit is the largest liberal echo chamber on the net, every character of it's content is actively moderated.

It's exactly the point being made here - liberal strategy as been to define and label opposition as racist/sexist/*ist for a very long time now. So those of us who disagree are just bigoted against incessantly. Many of those in disagreement with liberal ideas just vote instead of debate because it's tiresome having people generalize and stereotype you ad nauseum.
Our genes do influence the development of brain structures that strongly influence general happiness level, sociability, and a variety of other traits. Under normal circumstances, the wiring of those neural structures tends to be reinforced. For example, friends and family members might observe a loved one who is not by nature sociable and say "you are an introvert" or "you are shy" which is a reinforcing stimuli. When that person has heard this enough times, whenever they behave in an unsocial manner, they will tend to explain it by thinking "I'm shy/an introvert" thus perpetuating the neural structure. If instead, sociability is treated as a skill, and correct behavior is reinforced while incorrect behavior is punished, over time those neural structures will be re-wired.

This pattern is observed all the time for tastes. We have genetically predetermined preferences, but overwhelmingly what we end up liking is the result of social conditioning.
David Cameron has resigned as a consequence of the vote. This should give you a hint of why I call this a plebiscite for the Tory leadership (and by extension the most liberal politics they prone at home and abroad).
Anecdotal as it is, I will say this: I saw a number of Facebook posts prior to the election from millennials who said they were voting leave and when challenged replied "well, remain is going to win anyway".

I do think this was the belief held by a sizable number of people voting - they didn't think the vote had any real chance of succeeding, and used it as a protest vote against the current government.

And on the other end of the spectrum, you could imagine somebody in their 60s or 70s whose retirement was heavily invested in "safe" stocks waking up the day after the vote and finding their pension down 20% feeling a little sore.
That is uncontrolled. How many European can come?

Btw the discussion here is better whilst the article is total rubbish. Have studied this kind of paper for 4 decades now. Recycled rubbish. Loop. Not even consistent.

Anyway. Whatever uker has to fight on. Just bought a house and have to fight together.
I'm not contesting any of those views, I am saying that the costs to the North were significant and the drain of resources caused by the poorer South continues to be significant.

Using the civil war to justify another military action against a portion of the country that simply votes out would be an example of learning nothing from the past.

In addition, Labor was against the EU before Blair, recently a Labor leader (Corpyn) who has been historically critical of the influence of the EU was voted in with a landslide (and establishment media called them idealistic young idiots); now the only reason to be against the EU is to be a small-minded racist pensioner.

edit: This is the cry of financial services who were using the UK as an EU tax vehicle, and the uncritical middle-class are following along with their complete blanketing of the media. The only benefit that the EU gave to the left is that British elites on average hate workers more than European elites. This credibility was completely lost by the way Greece was treated.
Please.

Hacker Newsers know the difference between the "Brexit" and a state independence movement, right?
As an open source library, don't worry about it. If Apple causes a big stink about it (unlikely), then you can rename it.

Hey, thanks so much for your detailed and articulate reply. So much goodness here that I am going to take some time to go through and work on. I really appreciate you taking the time to go through my site in detail and highlight the problematic areas. This is gold, and I am really thankful. Nothing overbearing or presumptuous at all - it is 100% nail on the head good advice, and some of the best I have received to date (even after talking to a lot of 'expert marketers').
> Do you really think it's possible to bully white people

> but that's not the same

If you blame a specific race|color of skin for whatever reason yes that's racism.

It doesn't matter if one tries to redefine the word "racism" in order to feel like he is doing something acceptable socially.

Each time I see "white tears" on a mug, or articles online blaming "white people" for this and that like on Techcrunch , I feel like we're going backward , not forward.

I say that as a black man.

More racism doesn't fix racism. Redefining racism to make it politically correct doesn't change the vile nature of racism.

What's next, blaming jews because they are mostly white and more successful than others ? and that wouldn't be racism because they are white ? we've already been there we've seen where it leads ...

But that's where we are today, there is an acceptable racist speech, blaming white people , and the rest. Strangely, the economic system that creates and generate inequalities between races is never put in questions by the "new racism" pundits.
to be clear, I was hoping to build it casually on top of a protocol or library. I would not be planning on rolling my own crypto or anything like that. I want a feature of my application to be encrypted chat which given the large availability or apps & libraries, I was hoping could be more of an integration than a build out.

I didn't say anything about this article.

Someone said they don't like reading about typography in general. I seconded and explained why.
The polling also seemed to suggest that remain would have a comfortable victory. What people are not doing is tracing the source of the statistics. They lead to pro-remain lobbyists. I don't know if the statistics are correct or not, but what I can tell you is that I see absolutely no mention of statistical methods in the various graphs reported in the media.

What I've learned: If I ever need a lobbyist, I'm hiring these guys - https://infacts.org/ (In case you are wonder, they are the source of all those wonderful graphs you've seen in the newspapers on the demographics of voters)

The US little less than half the population of the EU and people can move anywhere at any time. Yet, 99% of the time it does not actually cause real issues with school planning.

So, I have trouble thinking this is your real issue?
When "normal" citizens can find instructions on how to create IED's and pipe bombs on the surface internet, something is very very wrong. This is what causes naive easily-influenced youth to radicalize. They do not even have to seek it out on the deep web, their social feeds are filled with such extremist content.

Then when the police confiscates their computer and finds Inspire magazine on there, they are branded a terrorist and face jail. While there is a difference between curious rebellious youth and hardcore jihadists, it's very murky when there is such easy access to real damaging stuff.

Driving them underground would make anyone seeking them out a solid suspect. Right now innocent bystanders are confronted with their propaganda and may give in (whereas normally they never would).

I know these are American companies, but they are used world-wide. The bill of rights and American standards of free speech do not have to apply everywhere though. Europe faces the consequences of this unbridled free speech. You want free (hate) speech? Fine. Create your own website and host your own content. Don't (ab)use these big companies who hide behind our-algo's-could-not-find-it and do not take their responsibility, because they have so many users they can never police them all.

Real terrorists use both the surface web (for recruitment and propaganda) and the underground web (for planning attacks). No smart terrorist uses the surface web for planning. The damage of surface web propaganda far exceeds the damage of having no intel on surface web propaganda.
You are assuming those that didn't vote wanted to remain.

Not voting shows disengagement, indecision, or disdain. Anyone regretting not voting at the moment is likely reacting to the tone of the resultant hyperbole than any actual knowledge or opinion.
"And a part of me wonders whether the same daily outpouring of hatred you see dumped on Trump/Trump supporters has also created a very large class of marginalized, ridiculed people who are going to let us know exactly what they think come time to vote -- and like the Brexit we may not even see it coming, because we live in the Twitter, FB, MSM bubble that does not accurately sample the people."

I don't know if the scorn heaped upon Trump voters created their marginalized condition or feelings, so much as it amplified and emotionally validated those feelings. Trump's supporters have been economically marginalized for 30 years and running, as have the equivalent Leave voters in the UK. Media polarization has contributed to an increasingly wide cultural gap, as well. And now, our obvious scorn and contempt for these people aggravates their feelings of marginalization; it confirms to them that that we, the system's apparent winners, don't have their interests in mind.
"Try adding an autoformatter like gofmt or IDE completion for Jai, and see how your parser changes (or if you have to write an entirely new parser)."

It would not change at all, and I have no idea why you think it would, except to guess that the model you have in your head of a hand-written parser kind of sucks. They don't have to suck.

"...not knowing what language you've designed." I have no idea what you're on about here either.

Look, I think you are making things a lot harder than they are. I am not bragging ... I used to build lexers and parsers by hand 23+ years ago when I was a student in college and had almost no programming experience compared to what I have now. It is not hard. If you think it's hard, something is missing in your knowledge set.

(I also built stuff using parser tools 23+ years ago, and was able to very clearly contrast the two methods. Parser tools have gotten slightly better since then, but not much.)
No Stoppin' GoFundMe
Are you trying to argue that the states formerly in the Confederacy haven't made huge contributions to the culture and economy of the United States?

Many, many good people in the South would beg to differ and probably find the notion that they're dragging down the rest of the nation offensive.
If they join schengen, that includes all schengen countries. Also, not sure on this, but in your example, Spain would be negotiating with UK, while it is not allowed to (without the EU) as it is part of the EU.
Hello,

I would like to introduce myself as a member of an educational nonprofit organization called No Stoppin', founded by a Washington High School Senior, Moksh Jawa. Our mission is to provide high school students with the tools needed to learn AP Computer Science and develop their own courses, or even publish books about their expertise. Since over 90% of high school students in the US do not have a class to teach coding, we think this would be a great way to provide exposure to this fascinating field. We have the experience and knowledge needed, but we are looking to raise money through our recently launched GoFundMe page, in order to reach out to as many students as possible. We were wondering if we could be featured in any events, newsletters, or other media, as this would provide a huge boost to the GoFundMe Campaign. We would love to provide any further details, if necessary, and look forward to hearing back from you soon! Here is the link to our campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/nostoppin

Thank you for your time.

That would work out very badly. Consider this cold war example:

Somebody high-up in the CIA is secretly working for the USSR. They are passing everything to the USSR. Over in the USSR there is a similar situation, with somebody passing KGB things to the CIA. The guy secretly working for us is able to reveal the person secretly working for the USSR.

Now we grab the person. If we reveal the evidence to him and everybody in unclassified court proceedings, it will get back to the USSR. Our agent in Moscow will be caught. Even if we black out his name, he will be caught. It's a scary enough risk just acting on the info he supplied.

Your way of doing things gives us 3 terrible choices:

a. Evacuate our super-valuable guy from Moscow.
b. Get our guy in Moscow killed.
c. Let the spy go unpunished, thus encouraging others.
With your injection of the wall comment, your post is as text book as straw man arguments get.

Econ 101 tells us that reductions in supply drive up demand.

Reductions in workforce size drive demand for workers. Employers will pay more for an employee when the pool is smaller. We are in the opposite now, employers can be extremely selective because there are 100s of people applying for the job. So why not demand the college graduate with 5+ years experience for the part-time barista job?
> I deeply suspect as well that the one-sidedness of presentation in the MSM

Are you implying the 'mainstream media' was overwhelmingly in favour of staying in the EU? That is very wrong. These are some headlines from The Sun and The Daily Mail (which are by far the two largest newspapers in the country) from the ten day period running up to the vote:

Great idea. I hope it works. Even if it doesn't work, if it provides experimental data, that will be valuable.

One line I didn't like from the article:

It’s obviously difficult to lift people out of poverty. According to the White House, as of 2012 (decades after President Lyndon Johnson's "War on Poverty"), approximately 15 percent of Americans (or 49.7 million people, including 13.4 million children) live below the poverty line. Worse still, "only about half of low-income Americans make it out of the lowest income distribution quintile over a 20-year period." (As the old saying goes: "It’s expensive to be poor.")

I think this can be very misleading. Is the poverty line a good definition? And if everyone's standard of living rises over 20 years, is it an issue to be in the bottom quintile? I'm not saying it is or isn't, just that it's very shabby statistics. (Maybe I just shouldn't read articles like this)
thanks, I did a cursory look a little while ago and have been thinking of signal. Thanks for the resources. Will check out.
