Let's start from the basics: All nation states are invented. You've mentioned Italy and Germany. Let me add the UK (England conquered others), Spain (Castille and the Kingdom of Aragon merged, then Castille imposed their culture over the years), France (many different tribes and many different languages apart from French), Belgium (what is Belgium?), etc

Even some more homogeneous (apparently) countries are melting pots. Romania: Some regions speak only Hungarian (and they're not bordering Hungary) and some others speak also Ukrainian. Their borders have changed a lot in the last 150 years. Hungary itself is nothing like it used to be (and it was the same country / empire with Austria... go figure!). Let's also not start with disastrous examples like the former Yugoslavia...

The difference is that the US assumed and took advantage of the "melting pot" idea whereas nationalistic views in Europe have been making the world think we have some special character or culture (and each of us different than its neighbour). Two World Wars mostly based on nationalism haven't helped either.

In many European countries it is frowned upon to worship the national flag or at least it's considered potentially close to extreme right wing and racism. Why? Because as opposed to the US flag which represents a melting pot and freedom, European flags represent nationalistic ideas. Ask and Englishman about Saint George's cross or a Spaniard about their flag. In both cases they'll only wave the flag during sporting events like the current Eurocup. Outside that, the above applies.

> Though I do think it's telling that a good number of things you offered as components of a shared European identity were invented in America.

Globalisation. Also, America didn't just happen. America is a branch of older European cultures (British, Irish, Dutch, Spanish and French at least), so in a sense the American culture is child of European culture, hence why it's not difficult for us Europeans to make it our own too.

American ideas and ideals come from Europe and / or Christianity. Some of them even predate the idea of Europe, coming from the Romans or Greeks. This is a long heritage than you guys and us have shared for long time. Globalisation is just making the rest.

> Do actual Europeans say that? Sounds more like the typical American who just got back from a vacation in Europe.

Not unheard of, specially if we're talking to someone not European. A clear example is political views: In Europe we consider American elections a choice between right wing and righter wing ;) whereas some of our social democratic (or labour) parties might look communist to you guys.

Times change and this might not be true anymore in a few decades, but a majority of Europeans would always choose Democrats over Republicans (and Bernie over Hillary).
Well, the article on Ars seems to be authored by Adam, so it's probably a cleaned up single piece of his blog posts.
It may use less than legacy solid foods, but it's significantly less efficient than powder in bags. With that said, bottled Soylent is much more convenient. I'm hopeful that they will improve the powder packaging and composition to make preparation easier.
The video in the article says they automatically turn the oven on when they're 3 minutes from the delivery (they have like 50 ovens in the truck). I think that's actually the coolest part of their idea.

What about the people who already have weak passwords, and accidentally misspell their dog's name or whatever? They're probably in the overwhelming majority compared to people using strong, complex passwords. Disabling paste here seems to be more of a convenience decision rather than a security one.

I'm not sure about this, so far it seems that the Greek government is (mostly) of the opinion that their situation would probably considerably worsen should they decide to leave the EU or the Euro zone, as the (significant) financial aid they currently receive from the EU would cease and the new currency that they would be forced to introduce would probably get completely devalued from the Euro (which is not, as many people say, a blessing for Greece). Also, their credit ranking would be such that they would not be able to borrow money on the free market except at a forbiddingly high interest rate, so effectively they would again end up at the mercy of the IWF, only this time they would not be able to count on the help of the EU.

Sure, the Troika and the EU (especially Germany and France) chose a path that created a lot of suffering for the Greek people in the short run, but bear in mind that Greece brought itself into this position by agreeing to become a part of the Euro zone and doing so using highly "creative" ways to mask their bad metrics to fulfill the stability criteria. If anyone is to blame here it's the EU for taking Greece into the Eurozone and the Greek government back then for eagerly grabbing that opportunity while ignoring (or not knowing) the risks. What we should learn from this is that strong political will alone is not sufficient if the underlying fundamental economic values are wrong.
I respond with a strong password for all security questions. It created a cute incident recently when I had to verify my account over the phone by telling the phone rep that my favorite pet's name was 'o(c:Y^u=86U@4k', or whatever. I'll give the rep credit, they didn't care the answer made sense, just that it matched their screen.
So.... when all the people who were cooking the pizzas are out of work, who will be left to buy the pizzas? The same goes for all low wage jobs that are being automated away.

I'm not sure how many people have really thought through the long term implications of what happens when you automate all the "grunt" work. As a successful business, your income comes from customers. Your customers need to make money somehow. All this automation seems like it will actually kill market liquidity.

Edit: the obvious response is "a new market will move in. disrupting the old." However, I don't think the radio->television (and so on) analogy actually applies here, since it is demonstrable that there the new technologies replaced old technologies, rather than employees.
I didn't say people. I said 'developers'.
This whole thread started because of this assertion:

Why should any people have a desire to be a part of a political organization over which they have zero control, but must pay taxes to?

You defended this with:

while not mathematically correct this is what lots of people feel.

I object to your assertion that lies should stand unchallenged just because they illustrate what people feel, especially when it is lies that informed their feelings in the first place. I don't care enough about the Norway situation to involve myself in that.

Another commenter posted http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/euromyths-a-z-index/ , I suggest you take a look at that page and count how many of those myths originated in English "newspapers".

I don't know if it matters, but what I originally wrote was this:

"Why are you saying that Bedouin culture is primitive? By what standard?"

I edited it to better get my point across.

And, by the way, s_b_q, you don't need to be a "relativist" to recognize that using the term "primitive culture" in this context is not only imprecise, but also borders on being racist--regardless of whether we are talking about Jordanian or Bedouin culture--and detracts from the conversation.
Lib Dems are campaigning on not leaving (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-eu-refe...). However I'm fairly sure even they wouldn't be stupid enough to campaign to rejoin after leaving, since that would mean joining the Euro which no one wants.
This follows up on the story of the company laying off 60 workers in Toronto and relocating to San Francisco (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11961182 ).
No, I didn't say that. I said we could train a lot more people. Do you think 10% of the world population currently works in R&D? My proposal was to greatly increase the number.
Fun fact: Dominic Giampalo (who wrote the BeOS file system) is on the APFS team. His book "Practical File System Design" is an excellent description of a traditional UNIX file system design. May be out of print now but I think used copies turn up on Amazon.

Johnny-Five: The JavaScript Robotics and IoT Platform
tl;dr from the article:

"It had been decided that the new institutions would be chaired in turn by the ministers of each of the six member states. Which country first?... A trivial random fact — Belgium starting with letter B — thus gave rise, first quite timidly, next with growing confidence, to a massive, irreversible fait accompli."
That's not as bad as it sounds because the console, preamps, compressors, etc... all cost a ton of money too.
If you understand the problem - that a dynamically typed, interpreted language has performance issues that prevent it being useful in computationally intensive scenarios, but can't be replaced easily - then this solution is actually quite reasonable.
> mixing lexing and parsing is a bad idea

Why exactly? I find it rather liberating to mix lexing and parsing, for any possible language.

> show me some languages like C, Java, Python, etc. expressed as PEGs.

Feel free to browse my github repos, username 'combinatorylogic'.

There is a lot of parsers in PEG, including C and Verilog.

One of the very good reasons to do such a mix is to be able to have nested comments (which rules out regular expressions).

> I don't see them being deployed widely

Do you see any new languages deployed widely? Inertia is very strong here.

> Several of your other points are wrong, but I'll leave it at that.

Mind elaborating? All my points are based on years of practice in writing parsers for all languages imaginable.
Right but isnt the Komogrolov complexity of the reals on average, incompressable?
It doesn't the passwords will be rotated, and they cannot be used for anything without the token.

Such attacks rely on large scales rather than being targeted.

If you target a specific account there are much better attacks out there to do if you target specific individuals or organizations.

Yes this isn't the best method and I've had and still have a lot of objections to it (it requires the password to be stored in a reversible encryption, but that is also sadly a regulatory requirement).

But I've tested it a 10 character password using their random characters random order request method took at the least 413 (that was the lowest in my case, I didn't run a full statistical analysis on it) login requests.
This is because that asking for 1st 2nd and 3rd characters, and 2nd 1st and 3rd, and 3rd, 2nd and 1st etc. are all considered "different" authentication requests by the bank.

Your keylogger would have to be also able to read the page and know that the 1st box wants the 4th character and the 2nd box wants the 3rd and the 3rd want's the 7th.
This isn't that trivial, and this doesn't scale for an attack that can target 10,000's of users over a short time period.

You need to understand that banks constantly change their web pages, they monitor for bank related malware and some of them even use additional protection like for example randomizing the names of the input fields and even the number of the fields to make effective keylogging with full browser compromise even harder.

You also are incorrect when assuming that if i know the 1st 3 characters of a password it somehow helps me it doesn't because you do not have an authentication mechanism to brute force against there isn't some login page that takes the full password, and 3 incorrect login attempt lock your user and require you to initiate a recovery by phone or by visiting a branch.

This system overall is pretty good at preventing direct attacks against the bank's own system, it's resilient to phishing, brute forcing is not an option, and a keylogger can be active for 1-2 years without effectively getting the password.
Effective security isn't black and white, there are is a lot of grey areas that might seem asinine and many of them are but they do work when you have the proper mitigating controls.

But let's ignore all of what we've established so far and go back to your assertion you assert that this attack is effective against high value accounts / individuals.
Well that's great, because from the point of view of the bank it says hey look we've put in a control that can effectively protect 99% of our users, let's see what can we do to protect the 1%.
That's how you achieve good security, you don't pool everyone into the same group, accounts with an average balance of 5000$ do not have the same risk portfolio as accounts with an average balance of 1M$.
Differential security and risk management is how you apply effective security on very large groups, you employ shared controls that cover the basics and add mitigating controls based on the individual risk portfolios for each sub group.
A declared-private but unimplemented method shouldn't have any runtime cost. =delete is just a syntactic convenience.
What about historic works that advocate such? What about Mein Kampf? Communist Manifesto?

> How Much Do New Robots Cost? Complete with controllers and teach pendants, new industrial robotics cost from $50,000 to $80,000. Once application-specific peripherals are added, the robot system costs anywhere from $100,000 to $150,000. Reconditioned robots are a less expensive option. Typically, used robots cost half as much as new robots. Used robot prices can range between an estimated $25,000 and $40,000, and systems with application components cost between $50,000 and $75,000.

Just checked out a random pizza hut and seems to be open 11 AM - 10 PM daily or 11 hours a day or 77 hours a week or 4,000 hours a year. That'll cost about 30k a year at minimum wage not counting overtime, training, hiring cost, taxes, etc.

If you make third party web applications, Javascript or whatnot to include on someone else's page, then Charles or similar is a must-have when you have non-technical and semi-technical people helping with customer issues. Almost anyone can use Charles to make the simple assessments of a problem, root cause, wolf-fencing, etc.

In the technical groups, Charles can usually be bettered for ease of use by custom tools for specific use cases. It is pretty quick and easy to use the proxy libraries in Node.js to throw together internal tools with a command line interface, for example.
Correct—I reached out to Adam to ask if Ars could syndicate the piece, and then I did some minor cleanup and clarification editing on it (mostly style conformance, but also some minor grammar tweaks and a few sentence re-writes). After checking with him to make sure my changes didn't change anything substantive, we ran the piece this AM.

Link wherever you'd like, of course, but the more traffic this pulls in, the more ammo I have to be able to get Adam contributing to Ars as a regular freelancer!

(edit - hi, adam!)

(edit^2 - corrections corrected. Apologies for the errors. I am just a simple caveman. Your mathematics confuse and annoy me!)
Sure, but you haven't exactly taught undergrads how to parse arbitrary grammars until you teach them that automatic algorithm, too, and that algorithm is harder to teach than simple CKY.

Why? (paywall)
The problem with basic income is it transfers the source of the paycheck from a company to the government. Right now, if I have an issue with my paycheck, I can go to the government for recourse. If my paycheck comes from the government, how do I achieve my check and balance?

Also, it's already been established that Silicon Valley is not so happy with the government, so displacing an entire working class and making them dependent on the government would grant the government a power that seems against SV's interests.

when Labour was strong

I don't think Labour under Blair did much more to reinvigorate the rural and former industrial areas. While I very much agree with your general assessment, "blame it all on the tories" is not the right sentiment.
Mostly because you can get it louder, and usually louder can trick you into thinking it sounds clearer or "better". Plus there's the history with the whole loudness wars.
The thing about Black Swans is that they're easy to see, yet very, very hard to time.

There is an asset bubble, for instance, at the moment (houses and a lot of other things are more expensive than justified). Gold price seems suppressed. And a government debt bubble. And a China bubble (China is exporting more than is justified by the economics, probably due to state subsidies). There was an oil price bubble, that could reflate (it would take a 5% difference in oil supply, maybe less, for the price to go back to $100 at least temporarily). Renewables could destroy the energy economy (this is happening, could accelerate. E.g. we could find a fantastic new battery principle, easy cheap large scale energy storage. The world would change to accommodate that faster than anyone can imagine). EU disintegration, and related shocks : e.g. a Deutsche Bank bankruptcy. Central banks switching tactics (either to helikopter money or the other way, interest rates back to 4%). More US states/territories cities going bankrupt. Large scale terror attacks.

All of these would be large to massive financial shocks. They're also very likely all going to happen. Most of them are going to be caused by another one in that very list, like domino blocks all lined up, but currently standing up. Only one will really be set off in truly unpredictable fashion, and cause the other dominoes to topple. The question is, how to find (and time) the drop that overflows the bucket. That is not a trivial question and the answer could be that said drop won't fall for another decade (or two, why not). That's unlikely, but certainly not impossible.

Whilst not many people were expecting the Brexit scenario to pass, ever since the Greek crisis (5-7 years ago now, depending on what event you think set it off) people have been worried about EU disintegration. That the EU, for various reasons, from languages, over border protections to finance habits does not have what it takes to stay together. Apparently they were right. The real fear is that it will cause bank bankruptcies. That may be underway. That may already have happened (a lot of EU banks aren't far from bankruptcy)
I think the upside of this method is not only the efficiency of reducing the human labor cost, but the consistency of eating something made by robots. Above all else, many Americans prefer consistency, which helps explain the popularity of many chain restaurants. Companies like Starbucks and McDonalds go to great efforts to ensure product control and proper training with minimal variability in the product quality. Also other exciting options include A/B testing which can provide a better feedback loop than manually tinkering and trying to tease out consumer preference.
MailYak (golang) – An elegant mime email library with support for attachments
As always, you can copy and paste the title on Google and bypass the paywall or use the "web" link under the title.

For those who won't bother, this is the TLDR version:

"Chinatown’s 80-plus produce markets are cheap because they are connected to a web of small farms and wholesalers that operate independently of the network supplying most mainstream supermarkets ... Because the wholesalers are in Chinatown, they can deliver fresh produce several times a day, eliminating the need for retailers to maintain storage space or refrigeration"
Three letter hash combinations and single letter hashes would all be essentially plaintext. The security of a hashed password comes from the fact that the password comes from a field of 2^(# of bits) possible values (with more useful bits the more types of "characters" allowed). If you only have a few characters that is so easily crackable (by brute force of every letter or three letter combination) that it might as well be plaintext. It is a security failure if they can get at some of the characters in a password.

However this is a memorable phrase (not password), similar to a security question. These are not generally hashed because customer service uses them to confirm authorization to reset a password.

The op didn't even mention mitmproxy is a terminal tool. You're being a little too sensitive by automatically assuming this is a GUI vs terminal war.

People would have less problem if the submitted was an open source tool, GUI or not.

P.S. Terminal application does have tremendous advantage when you work on a headless server. I used mitmproxy and it's great. The ncurse'd interface isn't harder to use than that of a GUI.
The key bit is that it (sounds like) they use it only for identification, whereas the SSN in the US is treated as a "secret" which can be used for authentication (!?). Thus a weird legal limbo where it's officially not supposed to be shared around, as it can prove who you are... yet all kinds of businesses are required to record it to identify their employees :|
