I am quite familiar with the material, and I am convinced you got the entirety of it wrong, like somebody gave you a carefully picked and edited selection of it. Here is the wiki chronology on abolition efforts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolition_of_slavery_timeline Just a cursory reading of it leaves no room for Englightment as [the main, ed.] explanation - it is clearly a faulty one.

MD5 is easy to generate collisions for (multiple chosen inputs with the same hash value), and SHA1 also just recently failed in collision security. Nothing odd with SHA256 for somebody like Snowden.
Why is green space also labelled as "dead space"?

I thought having trees and green space in an urban environment really lightens up the whole feel of concrete structures.
I get that sentiment, completely. But what happens when breeding becomes irrelevant in the face of genetic engineering?

Doesn't matter to me; I prefer polo.
>What they saw was that, not only did the star's light output occasionally dip by 20 percent - the weird behaviour scientists first spotted last year - but over the course of the observations, its entire stellar flux actually dimmed.

It would be interesting if this turned out to be like the OnOff star from A Deepness in the Sky.

Only 3 years between conclusive evidence for the Higgs Boson - a Nobel Prize-winning discovery, and the culmination of a 40 year search - and the nightmare scenario that all they've discovered is the Higgs Boson.

Oh well, perhaps they'll build an Even Larger Hadron Collider?

Agreed, and much respect is shared.

Of course I agree here too. My apologies if it seemed as though I was implying otherwise. I have concerns when someone tries the make the case that one way is better than another; I don't see that here.

> I certainly don't want you or anyone to feel like I am cramming something down your throat. If I you have made you feel that way, please accept my apologies.

No apology needed. I don't, and never have taken, these kinds of discussions in an offensive kind of way. We're all entitled to our own decisions.
This is excellent. Thanks for posting.

Because SSL is intricately tied to the CA infrastructure and thus able to be meddled with when the government decides it has national security concerns?
Not entirely sure why, but I suspect because they haven't been able to determine if there's any lensing going on of the star that you'd expect to see if something like that entered the system. But I do believe that they'd see higher energy (x-ray, gamma?) bursts if it was removing material from the star which would lead to a different kind of variability. We know roughly what that should look like because of other binary systems where one star is being consumed and I don't think I've seen anyone say this looks a bit like that.

Though I'd love to have someone that's actually knowledgeable on the subject to weigh in and tell me how wrong I have this.
Didn't the sheriff just prove he was corrupt?
In reality, most people enjoy spending time outside - and outside doesn't mean in their car, it actually means outside. The more you assume people have and want to use cars all the time when developing a city, the less time people are reasonably able to spend outside. There's very few people who actually enjoy being in cars in the middle of a city.
TL;DR: All the hype and rumours about a new discovery at the LHC [1][2][3][4] that looked like a particle outside of the standard model was for naught. As the LHC detectors gathered and processed more data, the "diphoton bumps" turned from interesting anomalies to statistically insignificant noise [5].

When I was a kid I played a game on the Apple ][ that years later I realized was secretly an introduction to digital design with propagation delay. In the game, little sparks/pulses would travel down wires, and there were various objects (primitive elements) that would manipulate the pulses (and gates, or gates, delays, relays, etc.) If memory serves, each level had a set of pulses that needed to be generated to progress to the next level. I have no idea what it was called and I've looked for it occasionally without success. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
I'm on the "encryption is a right and essential to functioning software systems" train with you. But I don't want stick my head in the sand and pretend the other side doesn't have valid points.

If all network devices were trivially penetrated by government surveillance, a hypothetical terrorist plot with a WMD has chance A of being discovered. If network devices that are impenetrable to government surveillance are used, I'm not going to argue that the same plot doesn't have < A chance of being discovered (ceteris paribus).

I happen to believe that's a good and just tradeoff to preserve the values of a democratic society, but I accept that others might think otherwise.

The US (and France, and the UK, and everyone else grappling with this that cares to pretend to be a democracy) should absolutely have a thorough, resolute discussion about our options.

Huh, just the other day i was pondering delivering the OS on a card/chip with a bit of flash space for storing patches and drivers.

Right now it seems we get into a whole lot of problems because we have the OS sitting on the same RW space as user files and programs.
Instead, they have to deal with the complexities of finding new rental properties and moving on a regular basis in order to keep the rent in check (or just sometimes randomly because their landlord decides to sell up), convincing their landlord to actually do maintenance, put up with the fact that they're not allowed to make any modifications to the property, etc.
Autonomous cars could be part of a service where you book a fare on an app and prices are stratified by how long you're willing to wait and how many people you're willing to split fares with. Then you have a spectrum from taxis to buses.

The LHC is a multi billion dollar project designed specifically to help physicists build physical models that are more accurate than what currently exists. Countless man-years have been devoted to its operation. Apparently, the only thing it has done is confirm what we already knew decades ago. The nightmare scenario is the waste of billions of dollars and a decade of your life, with no alternatives in sight. Remember, the article is from the perspective of a theoretical physicist. This stuff is her life.

Thanks for the information and it's always good to have context.

I was going to say that the original meaning doesn't take anything away from the quote as currently used and the power of that meaning. But Wittes already said that too, in the article you linked:

> "... maybe it doesn't matter so much what Franklin was actually trying to say because the quotation means so much to us in terms of the tension between government power and individual liberties."

I also disagree with Wittes that this means "not quite the opposite... but closer to the opposite [than the usual usage today]."

Franklin was arguing that the state ought to have the right to tax in order to defend the territory on the public's behalf. The Penns were trying to offer a one-time fee in exchange for not being taxed going forward.

Thus, Franklin's implication seems to be: do not trade temporary security in exchange for long-term liberty.

And so, I think the quote's modern usage and its originally intended meaning are very much in alignment. Just as the Penns offered a short-term benefit to security in exchange for a longer-term loss to prospective liberty, the FBI here is offering a short-term benefit (of debatable potential) to security by disallowing encryption or having master keys/backdoors, in exchange for a longer-term loss to prospective liberty.

It seems to me Wittes (and the NPR reporting) just isn't thinking about it deeply enough. It's not as simple as "oh, Franklin was original discussing a security matter and arguing for the state to provide security"... in fact, it is more nuanced and Franklin was saying that the state (and the public) should not accept, let alone advocate for, short-term security at the cost of long-term liberty and security.

If the user has difficulties, it's usually your fault not the user's. Now that doesn't necessarily mean you can realistically do anything about it (time, budget, lack of UX people, etc)...
I have to say, it kind of blows my mind that someone could not see the difference in user experience between a bus and an Uber/Lyft... Even in the absolute best case scenario for the bus, where there's a perfect bus route from where you are now to your destination and there's a bus leaving exactly when you get to the stop, Uber/Lyft is still clearly better, and that best case scenario for the bus almost never occurs.
But their stupidity persisted. They did things that
were so wacky they boggled my mind (like putting a
credit card number in with spaces between each
number)...

Not allowing spaces in a credit card field is a pet peeve of mine. It's a trivial problem to solve in code, and almost nobody does it. Whether it's a space every 4 numbers (the most logical to me) or a space between each number, it really shouldn't matter.

There are spaces in the number on the card itself. Entering the number with spaces makes it easy to check if you've made a mistake in only a few glances, instead of painstakingly going number-by-number and losing your position a few times.

It shouldn't be the user's fault.
I was about to say something similar, just checking out if someone had already said it.

I just don't dig the obsession with "aesthetics". It just doesn't compute. I understand the need for simplicity, but there's JUST NO PLACE for aesthetics in science. We need simple verifiable experiments and results, no "my model is more beautiful than yours" stupidity.

One important thing: scientists need to recognize where science ends and passion/preference begins. Scientism is the greatest foe of science.

Disclaimer: I'm not a scientist.
Maybe the FBI should spend less time suing Apple and more time finding out where the wife of the Orlando shooter has disappeared to given she was proven to have assisted him with the crime and knew about it in advance.

The FBI might also do well to look into the mother of the San Bernardino shooters who lived with them in a house full of bombs and guns and yet somehow never had any idea what was going on.

These seem better leads than this constant obsession with searching everyone's phones.
Now You Too Can Buy Cloud-Based Deep Learning
It's an interesting situation that has broken quite a few other pieces of the puzzle. Companies can now raise money while private for a decade. Stock options become useless, because nobody is going to work somewhere for 10 years, or save for the taxes on the options that one can't sell. The stock market doesn't even get to sniff these companies until they are behemoths either. Along with it, the SEC loses power, and aggressive investment opportunities become harder to access for all but the very rich.

Everyone that isn't a venture capitalist of a founder on one of those companies should be concerned about this.
My point is it is ridiculous to make statements like "the city is ruled by the car." The car is not a living thing. It cannot rule anything.

All the cars are there because they serve people. People find them to be useful.

What people are really saying when they claim the city is "ruled" by cars is that they believe there are too many cars--which is a rather odd statement, seeing as cars are useful and people voluntarily buy and use them.

It's odd that these people are motivated not by their love for walking, not by their love of particular kinds of spaces, and not by their desire for a certain lifestyle. Rather, they are motivated by their dislike for cars. This is an immediately off-putting argument since most people do not hate their cars. If they would focus on getting more of what they want, rather than less of what they do not want, then maybe they would be able to craft winning solutions that do not rely on taking useful things away from people.

Most of those concerns are because you opted into the Insider program. WSL was included in the Anniversary Update, so you don't have to be an Insider to get it, now, and the instructions are straightforward (no OS updates or lengthy reboot cycles involved.)
I'm guessing it would be easier to understand the stuff than come up with it. If it did come up with a model that predicted something like particle weights we could then try to figure what it did.

You still can't just ignore BIOS. It might be on the deathrow, but it's still got plenty of life in it. Hell, knowing Intel, x86 BIOS will be supported until x86 itself keels over.

Is it okay that I fantasize about that?
I don't think I've ever felt that users are intentionally trying to annoy me, it's more that it feels like they're not trying hard enough. The sense that the application is not impossible to use, lots of their peers have apparently been able to use it with no problem, and that they need to meet me halfway. A kind of unspoken contract where I try and make it as easy as possible for the user, and the user puts in the effort to read the directions rather than just immediately clicking through.

This is not to say that it's their fault or that I am not always working on improving my own work to better take into account human nature as part of interface design. Merely that the post focuses on "intentionally piss off" as the prime motivator, and I'd be a surprised if most developers attributed it to that.
Along with everyone else here, I had the same issue with my wrists, took a gamble, and got the keyboard. I haven't looked back. It's awesome.

I let a co-worker borrow it, because he was having wrist issues, and he had the complete opposite effect with him. Wrist was turned down when he said it needed to be turned to the side. So he tried it for 15 minutes and returned it to me. So I guess it's not for everyone.

I'm Ryan, one of three devs that built FraudGuard.io. The answer is basically price. We do EVERYTHING ourselves and try to keep price extremely fair. We have plans that start at $10 /month and we also have a small free-for-life plan too.

Thats the best answer. The secondary part is we want a simple way for any dev off the street to integrate with api.fraudguard.io in 5 minutes. Imagine you are a small company and you want to limit back office access to you CMS to only IPs outside of Germany. That takes just a couple minutes. Or you want to allow back office access to you CMS from everywhere but you want to decrease the session timeout to only 30 minutes if the originating IP is a tor node or public proxy, etc.

We just got out of beta (literally last night) but so far thats the majority of use cases that we've seen so far.

The Despair of Poor White Americans
Encryption does not confront safety. It is only FBI that wants us to think this way. Encryption IS safety against people in power holding too much power.

I have the right to have private conversations with my family, friends and coworkers, specially if I work from home using teleworking tools. I will fight to defend this right if necessary.

If someone believes anything I do is illegal I have no problem when they have a warrant, but massive surveillance is criminal.

It is a crime they had not paid for yet, like Hillary Clinton or all the financial dome they are used to do everything against the law with no consequences.
Meh. This is just as problematic of a way of looking at it, honestly.

If the user is having a hard time getting something done. It is probably a difficult problem for them. The job of the developer is to work with the user to make it easier. If you are lucky, you can make it easy. But, incremental improvements are huge.
That looks really, really interesting - but the shipping outside of the US is a bit scary/expensive. Any idea if the creator teamed up with a European person/store as well?

That is true. Thanks for pointing it out. My point is that outside of the techlabs, Detroit culture is very bland. Moving from tech to automotive is a big culture shock.
Why would you use GAE in this scenario, over, say, GCE or even AWS? And at a smaller scale, DO would be far cheaper.
> But on the other hand, doesn't it necessarily seem the case that there should be something existing somewhere, for at least some time? How can nothing exist... ever?

Funny you mention it, this was Leibniz's exact dilemma. He realized there must be two classes of existence: necessary (things that must exist), and contingent (things that don't have to exist). Not many things must exist, if you really think about it, and he came to the conclusion that God is the most reasonable explanation for why any contingent thing exists at all.

He's banking on the fact that most people don't care about privacy and are more easily swayed towards giving it up for vague promises of safety when scared by threats of terrorism.
It's past time this was said: we need to start shaming people who voluntarily work long hours. Not those for whom the alternative is unemployment, of course; they are victims to be pitied. But those who work long hours when they could have chosen otherwise, are harming not only themselves and their employers, but everyone who has to interact with the economy, which means pretty much everyone. That behavior needs to stop being considered socially acceptable.

By the way, from the look of it, if you like this game at all, you will love TIS-100, and should totally go buy it.
The problem with using that quote is that it's usually employed as an argument from authority, implying that Ben Franklin was explicitly warning that personal liberty and government force were mutually opposed, when he actually wasn't. Its modern use comes dangerously close to being propaganda.

You pose an interesting question - one you'd think a god would be able to answer, especially if that god supposedly created us. In fact, if he can't answer it, I would question whether he is a god.
I don't think it's that much harder, unfortunately. They just take a million or so of tax payer money and hire a firm to crack the target. I'm not sure they're too worried about the constitution, sadly. Why they need to have a 'discussion' about it, I'm not sure.
