I'm working (finishing paper) on an algorithm compatible with deflate/gzip that is safe to use before encryption (i.e. it is guaranteed to not leak random secrets cookies). It's a bit more complex than your suggestion - matching common substrings longer than key length would still be vulnerable as substring boundary may still fall inside secret.
I think as we are continuing to balloon request sizes, stream more and higher quality video, increasingly populate urban cores, etc. finding more spectrum to pollute is an untenable long-term solution.

I think a more reasonable approach is to start putting wire in house-wrap, and perhaps putting a repeater antenna outside the Faraday cage for cell signals.
Can't say I'm surprised, nor disappointed. I'm a fan of high-speed rail, but this project is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with such projects in this country. A high-speed rail link between LA and SF seems like a great idea, but the plan is way too expensive ($70 billion! holy shit!) and the route is idiotic, veering out of the way to make far too many stops.
The alternative is hunt-and-peck, aka "look down at the keyboard, find the key you want, and poke it with your index finger." I started programming at age 7 and wasn't taught to touch-type until 11 or so; you definitely don't need formal QWERTY training to input text at a pretty rapid rate. It's still not as fast as touch-typing, though, and being able to type without looking at the keyboard is a huge advantage.
Actually in the context of security compressing the data you're about to encrypt still matters. The problem exposed by the CRIME exploit (and anything similar) is that the size of the payload also can be an indication of the data within it. To combat this, systems which are exchanging data interactively (in a stream) should further pad messages /up to/ a target size (which might be random per message).

As I mentioned elsewhere there's no reason that data can't also be potentially useful (though it does become difficult to ensure that this isn't also a source of attack).
Colin Woodward wrote "American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America (ISBN-13: 978-0143122029)" and basically, the people who settled the center of the tech industry were Yankee Progressives, the sort who send third sons to be missionaries around the world. You have to accept the premise that somehow, the past stains present-day thinking more than is easily explainable, but this does not stop people who have demographically interesting professions from using this sort of thing.
Should I stop hoping that we'll get consumer grade ultra-wide band devices, mooting the whole frequency licensing issue?

It is an editorial -- in other words, opinion not news -- and the strongly worded title really does not fit with the content. This should not be getting taken so seriously here.
If I understand your scenario, the problem is that you would have to remove all the canaries as soon as you receive your first NSL. As soon as you receive a NSL, you may only disclose the number of NSLs you have received in the buckets I mentioned above, so you would not be able to say "we have not received more than 50/100 requests;" you would only be able to say "we have received 0-249 requests." So the canary still only works to tell people that you have never received an NSL.
Wow. Talk about overlooking the obvious. Thanks lol...
The federal gov collects $30-$35 billion in taxes and fees for the Highway Trust Fund. 5x that number covers most of the $205B.
IANAL, but I believe you could say "I've had zero" until you get one, at which point you can only say "I've had between 0 and 249".
If we let the market price of helium go up (paired with the carbon credits), could CO2 extraction from the atmosphere become an economically feasible way of counteracting global warming?

What's your source for the 'myth' of the Bataan Death March? Even the Japanese have apologized for it....and for other extreme militarist stuff. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/39145098/ns/world_news-asiapacific...

There are people who say the German concentration camps were 'myths' too. There are memes that propagate because they serve someone's agenda... maybe the same applies to the narrative that the "allied soldiers [i.e. Americans] in the pacific were from some of the most savage and racist societies on earth."

Fortunately, there are professional historians that try to sort through this stuff.
I had heard that even a brief bit of HIIT has all of the benefits of longer exercise times... Does this refute that or give evidence in support of that?
I'm not sure what the point grading aptitude in intro courses even is though? Either you learn the material or you don't - in case of the later you are going to really struggle in upper level courses.
I think it's interesting that you consider my drivel "populist". I don't think I'm a populist, in the general case. And, I'm not sure I would put this in that category, either.

I'm not, at all, anti-corporation. I'm anti-criminal behavior. How is wanting the rule of law to apply equally a "populist" notion?

"Equality" is, admittedly, pretty tricky when talking about a fictional construct. But, when a company kills people we can't put the company in prison to protect people from it and to dissuade other companies from doing similar things. So, I think there should be other tools that can strip away the corporate veil that executives are hiding behind and stop the criminal company from being in a position to cause further harm.

Here's my "free market" question for you: Do you want to be in an industry where you're competing with companies that cheat on health and safety standards? They have lower compliance costs because they're cheating. What do you do? How do you deal with that? Do you want to have to cheat, break the law, and lie to customers, in order to compete effectively with them?
The problem with roads is induced demand. The increasing trend towards urban density requires moving more people around increasingly denser urban areas. Freeways were great in the 50s and 60s but have proven their limitations in sprawled, urbanized areas like Atlanta, DC, and Southern California.

Rail moves more people over time than freeways in urban areas, but with less flexibility for destinations. Urban planning should prioritize building transit-oriented development around these rail corridors allowing for more people to live within a reasonable commute time to jobs.

Freeways should not continue to be built and expanded in urban areas. Wrong tool for the job.
Holy shit. People in the land of the free discussing what they are legally allowed to say. Such tricks sound like stories from Soviet Russia that still linger around.
I was also surprised by the lack of battery indiciator in awesome-wm. But it took <10 lines of Lua to add. It was a pain at first but now I really like how extensible awesome-wm is.
Agreed. MVP would have definitely been the way to go.

However, getting anywhere from San Jose to the rest of the Bay Area is pretty slow. Yes, a considerable number of jobs do exist in the San Jose & Santa Clara valley area, but commuting to the peninsula, city, or east bay is slow.

Frankly, it is insane that the Caltrain takes more than an hour to go from San Jose to San Francisco in 2016 and only runs a handful of times during the day.

I wonder how the HSR MVP would have looked local to the Bay Area travel from Stockton/Tracy to either SF or SJ would be in less than 30 minutes, opening up San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties for housing.
Go, super stable, reliable and fast. I also love the ideology.
A couple possible reasons: surviving to hunt, fighting/battle and celebration/training/building activities.

If you have an elevated heart rate and exercising in the past that might mean going after food where you have to outwit, thus the brain needed to fuel/prepare for that.

Additionally, exercise could be fighting, you might also need elevated brain performance during a battle for survival.

It might also mean you are doing some work to get a system in place for food and providing that for others in the group.

Exercising is probably tied to survival, nourishment and providing. The brain probably has a reward system because it can expend more energy if there is more to be had soon.
>So first he's criticizing techies for not fixing the pathologies of Oakland. Then he's saying these problems are rightly the domain of politics. So what's the problem? Those are political problems, should be left to politicians, and techies are doing exactly that.

No, he’s saying that techies should not be separate from the political process.

Techies, as a general rule, do not like politics. Here is a problem, here is a solution, implement, boom, done. Next problem. Politics is so much arguing and posturing and creating compromises that benefit nobody, just because somebody is passionately mistaken about something.

Google famously did not fund a lot of lobbying in Washington until Microsoft pushed a bunch of anti-trust regulators at them. Now Google is one of the major organizations in Washington.

Sadly for San Francisco politics, a huge proportion of the techies are not allowed to participate, because they are not US citizens, and the self-inflicted harms of 9/11 are keeping a bunch of my coworkers from even getting green cards.
My problem with this project is:

1 - if you want to spend $80B on public transport infrastructure, there are productive places in CA to do that. This project is not in the top 20. You could, alternatively, build out bart/muni/caltrain/vta/LA metro. I'm sure San Diego also has transit projects available.

2 - the ridership numbers for this project are created in what can only be described as a crack-aided manner. It's already $80/pp, up from $50/pp. By the time it's actually built, I'd guess tickets will be well over $100/pp. If you have even two people, you may as well drive. How many people need to commute between LA and SF? The HSR estimates are between 18m and 31m passengers annually [1] which seems unlikely. Also note the $86 far comes to about 20c/mi, while amtrak on the east coast charges 50c/mi and most european long haul trains charge 45+c/mi [1]. Which should make you suspicious that tickets will cost far more than $86, or the ridership numbers are farcical.

3 - when these projects are sold with transparently fake numbers, it poisons public support for all transport infrastructure projects. Currently the part of the project under construction is pure bait and switch rail construction for amtrak, which will use the track until at some unnamed date HSR starts using it.

4 - the local transit projects in sfbay, san jose, LA, or probably san diego have much less risk: we can reasonably project usage.

I just purchased this recently (having used it ages ago) to drive a second computer on my desk.

My problem is that once the guest machine goes to sleep, I can't seem to wake it via Synergy. Is this expected behavior? I have WoL enabled, so theoretically I should be able to just move my mouse over to the sleeping monitor to wake it up.
Yes, recently discovered Reaper after using Audacity for a while. Works so much nicer and no surprises.
It's valuable farmland, but most of the right-of-way is next to existing railroads and the surface area of the track is small. But how does the second point relate to cost?

Stronglifts.

3 days/week. Takes about 30-45 minutes. Alternate A/B each week. So week 1 is ABA, week 2 is BAB, repeating.

A: Squats, Overhead Press, Deadlifts
B: Squats, Brench Press, Barbell Row

All exercises are five sets of five reps except Deadlifts which are one set of five reps.

Ignore the marketing speak: http://stronglifts.com/5x5/ - has all the info you'd need and a free app to track your exercises. I highly recommend it.

Still tiring. Not painful unless you have bad form, and 3 hours/week isn't that time consuming (IMO).

You might not necessarily lose a ton of weight - but you will feel stronger. And you'll notice when you go from struggling with light weights to effortlessly lifting triple that.
It's used for screen layout in MacOS Lion and Grid Style Sheets.[1] There's also a subdomain that goes faster, and simple layouts should be in that subdomain.

The idea is to get away from programmer-oriented layout input.

7 Industries Who Should Be Using Enhanced Communication Services
The article and data flatly contradict what you're saying. HSR often loses money. In this case, any reasonable belief that it will run without subdies has completely vanished. The data say it will not be used, it will cost too much, and is a waste of everyone's money. You want to pay 68 billion dollars for some symbolic money pits just because you want to beat Japan and China? This isn't about elites beating down everyone else. Elites, like the HN crew here, are the people who care the most about regularly traveling back and forth between SF and LA. Everyone else would just be subsidizing them.

Huge pity, otherwise, as I still love the thing. I wish they'd just open source it so someone can future-proof it for Hi-DPI displays.
I'd highly recommend learning a functional language.

If you're coming from Rails, Elixir + Phoenix, would be a logical step into the functional world. It's a world that-- at least for me-- changed the way I think about programming and improved my OO code along the way.

Another useful tool for your toolbelt would be a statically typed language. Go, C, C++, C#, and Java are probably the biggest contenders, but there are arguably more interesting candidates out there (F#, Scala, Kotlin, OCaml, Nim, Haskell).

I come from a C# background, but do mostly JS and Ruby these days. I really miss static typing. It's something everyone should try at least once. It's not for everyone, but I feel 10x more productive with a good compiler and IDE.
Eschewing religion and promoting "rational thinking" gives us, perhaps, the most dangerous outcome of all: nationalism.

The point in that case is to combat plain text (known value) attacks.

Precisely how the padding / extra padding is distributed within the data stream to be encrypted is also an issue. The goal is to make it very difficult to guess where data will be represented if you do happen to know the plain text.
Omniplan is indispensable for me as a project manager. I just wish there was something online as easy/fast to use with support for multiple project managers/projects.

Why are their targets other AI fighter pilots? That's a very, very big assumption. Can we safely assume that the AI pilot won't target buildings/ships/etc.?

Yes, that's correct - although for corporations, you typically don't have to pay it for the first year (as long as you foreign qualify in CA for that year). So at least you get a small reprieve there :)

Its politically unacceptable to state any public opinion about HSR other than fawning endless praise. The painful truth of the situation cut and pasted from the article:

"The high-speed rail project is a classic example of how concentrated benefits and diffused costs shape public policy, even when the general public has a direct say."

Clearly the general public isn't doing enough to help our poor starving elites get even more elite.

This does show an interesting business model, try to find something blindly loved by social media signalling, then cash in with no intention of ever doing it. There are people making millions off the CA HSR phenomena.
Okay, that's fair. I took your original post to mean something along the lines of "Trump supporters believe something stupid, and when you talk down to them, they just dig into their stupid beliefs. If you would come at them nicely, you would have a better chance of teaching them how stupid their beliefs are"
The nice thing is that you can mix and match D3 components as needed, e.g. require certain layouts or other pure functions but use React in lieu of DOM binding (if that's preferred for one reason or another) and not use the D3 selections.
I spent a long time ruminating on this awhile ago and came away very depressed. Deep down, I believe that human nature simply does not allow complex civilizations to live indefinitely. The interplay between selfishness which ensures individual survival and empathy which ensures survival of the species (thus indirectly increasing chances of individual survival) is tuned for sharing a living space with a few dozen other humans, not a planet of seven billion. Evolution found a local maxima sufficient to allow us to spread very rapidly, but it's not good enough for the state that we are in. Although advanced technology could allow a large number of humans to thrive, the lack of empathy will perpetuate an imbalance in resource and standard of living that, like a washing machine with an imbalanced load, will spin wildly out of control (and in this case tear itself apart).

I hold a sort of vague hope that a techno-Utopia is possible, but it's with the understanding that a great many cultural and political changes would need to be made first. Given that my talents lie in programming, I do my part in that arena and hope that others with an understanding of things like economics, security and human psychology will do theirs.
I think that's part of a different package, i3-status or something, which is not strictly required but recommended in docs etc. Possibly it's also installed by default if you just choose 'i3', depending on your package manager.
I absolutely do get to complain. I also vote against the nimby council members who refuse to build residential in lock step with commercial in Mountain View which led to half the board being replaced a few years ago... Things still have not gotten much better and now they are collecting signatures to get rent control on the ballot which in general I am opposed to but clearly something needs to change.

Everyone has different ideas about how much space is necessary. Up until recently homes were really tiny and it varies greatly by country (ref: http://shrinkthatfootprint.com/how-big-is-a-house) I agree that the kids should be outside playing in parks and riding bikes and all that jazz and not in a tiny apartment. But then we have the "safety" fears when the world is far safer than when and where I grew up.

In my life I have lived in townhouses, an efficiency, rented a room in 2 houses, rented a whole house, lived in a dorm with roommates and lived in a big house with an acre back yard. They all have their plusses and minuses. I have not yet owned a house myself though. I would argue it's better the kids live in a small apartment than their parents have 2 hour round trip commutes because they had to switch jobs after they bought a house. I put a lot of value on the ease with which I can move closer to my job.

In a country with the size/spread/population density of the US, it's generally not possible to have a single-mode transportation network which reaches everybody (or to within reasonable distance of everybody) without subsidizing some routes that would be unprofitable due to low demand.
