The author seems confused about the nature of this attack. It has nothing to do with using the go language or any other, it's purely about the choice of consensus algorithm and the vulnerabilities of a small ecosystem. In a small blockchain, it's much easier for bad actors to gain enough hashing power to control proof of work. I do see they are moving to a proof of stake algorithm, I hope that works out.

Still unclear to me why some of these smaller coins exist, except perhaps for rampant speculation. From the krypton site: "$KR is my vision for an ultra-fast blockchain that can realize all of the features of Ethereum with fewer initial coins, faster speed and lower inflation." That sounds ok, but right now none of those things are the primary problem with Eth.
It does however provide a limit on how much money each publisher can extract from a paper, and makes things far more transparent.

It also makes free or cheaper services more competitive.

"Will this paper increase my impact factor or not?" It now becomes literally necessary to spend money to increase the metric used to determine if you get any money.
Right now we don't have a maintained, release version of bootstrap. That's not really reasonable at all, imo. I understand wanting to focus on the next version, but maybe continue to maintain v3 until v4 comes out? Ditching support the day v4 drops is still kinda premature, imo, but still better than this limbo we're left with. Frankly this seems incredibly unprofessional.

Shift cost to author and grant agencies then. A couple of studies I have read says it costs about $1500 to review edit and publish an article. In addition several thousand dolars of volunteer time is provided by editors and reviewers. If the subscribers wont be paying, then costs will shifted to the author. Some free online journals already only charge the author.
Not in the popular sentiment, but the first known scientific prediction of potential global warming was by Svante Arrhenius at the end of the 19th century.
Yeah. It looks like a memory optimisation to squash more code and data into the gamecube's 24mb of memory.

It was one of the earlier gamecube games and it looks like they rolled their own custom solution rather than using one of the standard nintendo libraries for advanced memory management that most other games use.
Numbers of this sort are usually fucking worthless because of the manipulation applied to them in accordance with political goals.

Forget the government figures and look at the market. Sure you might make a buck more an hour but the price of meat has doubled (roughly) in the past five years.

But the curious thing is we live in an era where being poor isn't as fucking horrible as it was in the past. While homeless I was able to have a smartphone, a laptop, and a couple of things of liquid nicotine. That's a sanity keeping pack right there.

I don't care if the rich guy can order custom-made marbelized sculpted horse anuses, my quality of life as a homeless man was increased precisely because rich men were assholes enough to create products general and well-built enough for many environments.

The problem of course is the almost never-ending stream of propoganda which tells people to eat sub-standard food and adopt sub-standard lifestyles. You stuff a population full of terrible diets, little personal physicality, and constant dopaminergic stimulation...

Well I suppose if I were a rich man I'd be chuckling at the peons who are literally segregating themselves physically as a separate species. It'd make breeding and consolidation a bit easier if you could tell a peon visually by their body fat ratio.
Yes Bootstrap4 has been taking too long to the point I wanted to find an alternative.

Maybe a fund-raise to have someone work on it full time, the way like what vue.js does?
I agree. I wouldn't want people doing that.
Personally, I think you're on the right track with rewriting rather than copy pasting. Not necessarily because rewriting is the best answer but because it is a concrete change in process/work-flow. 'Improve attention to detail' isn't a concrete change; it isn't testable; and it isn't implementable.

Generally, the sort of mistakes sound like things that go away with experience [and in the context of a professional career, three years is not a lot of experience even if the world of software development acts as though it is].

Good luck.

Not trusting a chart because it's numbers seem to contradict other numbers is perfectly valid and reasonable. Your comment about gains going to people who own capital (who, incidentally, are primarily middle class homeowners) is not a refutation of it. In fact, it's completely irrelevant.

A refutation would be explaining why GDP and income don't necessarily correlate, which is more a matter of accounting identities. Specifically, GDP != income, income is merely one component of it.

To be fair, my OpenCL distro follows the same approach http://github.com/hughperkins/distro-cl Mainstream torch is kind of like 'sid' debian: it's cutting edge, but not always as stable as one would like, if one wants to tweak it a bit, eg add OpenCL.

As far as the title of this news thread, note that the 'self contained torch folder' title of the intel distro comes from the original distro that Soumith made https://github.com/torch/distro It's not something that Intel wrote/added/assert.

You are thinking of the rhythm method, that has nothing to do with fertility awareness, which is finding out for sure when ovulation is occurring, not guessing based on dates.

So who funds this free research that the papers are based on? The answer in Europe is clear, the common citizens, who's pay is taxed around 50% and who pay massive sales taxes while having zero say in who gets research funds and for what. But what about the parts of the world that don't believe in nepotistic systems or corruption and academic cronyism or are at least trying to fight it?

I work with many academics in many fields, I can tell you that outside of the "hardest" sciences, and then only from some select institutions, is even remotely valid, let alone accurate or precise. How many more investigations do we need to reveal that way more "research" than not (even though it should be the minority) does not abide by even the most basic scientific principles.
No, it runs nc(1) plus a shell script.
It has nothing to do with Ethereum. This Krypton chain has a very minuscule hashpower so it's susceptible to attacks. It would happen with any Proof of Work chain. She is moving to a Proof of Stake which requires +- 51% of the ownership total coins to execute an attack like this.

It seems to me that the regular expressions used in the module's "regexp" and "insertafter"/"insertbefore" parameters could mess it all up in case the config files contain comments with the used strings, e.g. "# Following won't work without SSLEngine enabled".

Perhaps use the beginning-of-line anchor, e.g. "^[ \t]SSLEngine on[ \t]".

The trailing whitespace can be problematic as well - what if I have a line " SSLEngine on", that is, no whitespace after "on" ?
The main reason why "cool stuff" is made in America is because of massive government subsidy to the computer industry in the 50's, 60's and thanks to publically funded research (Bell labs, PARC etc). Again in the 80's under Reagan there was big investment in the computer industry as they recognized that Japan was starting to take the lead in tech industry.

I never really tracked down what exactly causes the vulnerability, but it's a rather common bug in various SSH implementations (millions of affected devices). Dropbear is the most commonly affected.

I guess easiest way to demonstrate it is like this:

debug1: Next authentication method: password
root@117.243.179.217's password:
debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).
Authenticated to 117.243.179.217 ([117.243.179.217]:22).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Sending environment.
debug1: Sending env LANG = en_US.UTF-8
debug1: Sending env LC_CTYPE = en_US.UTF-8
login failed: please enter correct username and password
Login:

Notice how for the initial login attempt the SSH server itself will accept any password, but subsequently the login is handled by the binary set as the login shell? After the initial "failed" login attempt you can freely open as many SSH tunnels as you please. You can most likely get RCE from here
In the past, I went the way of 3rd Immutable Law Of Security: unscrew a few bits, take out a disk, connect it to a computer, assemble into a single-disk RAID1 array (there were two disks in the NAS, changing one was enough), mount the ext2 fs, mess with anything.

Less fun, but also significantly less terrifying (you forgot WHAT?!?). If the NAS on question were using some proprietary FS, this wouldn't work, of course.

You can horribly engineer things, regardless if you use haskell or Java.

I've seen Java code like you described, but I've also seen big java projects written in clear, no-nonsense style. For example, look at any open source Java projects released by Google.

I've also seen FP projects that require all engineers to learn category theory. Even when armed with programmers proficient in FP, project did not seem significantly more productive or less buggy from the outside. The approach-ability was lower - you couldn't just quickly glance how something works, even if you knew FP.

The most successful approaches I have seen involved adapting good functional concepts - referential transparency, immutability, compos-ability, minimising local state, functions as objects. They rarely went dogmatically all-in on pure-FP/category-theory/DSL-all-the-things. I strive to write code adhering to those rules, even in non-FP languages, but ultimately favouring practicality and I believe that I get the best of both sides.
>> researchers is poor countries

> they definitely can publish, but they will have to pay a decent amount to publish in a big journal

Yeah, okay.

This is exactly what I'm saying this system is wrong. The decision to publish a given paper in a big, notorious journal should only be based on the scientific qualities and contribution of the paper. Not on the money (grants or not) that their authors have.

And by the way, grants, and generally speaking project-based funding, are not a good way to distribute money for research. It is okay to fund big experiment requiring a lot of money on project-based grants, but it is totally poisonous to need grants for daily operations (paying people's salaries and publishing being typical daily operations). Research can't work long term if even the basic necessities for a lab to just exist depends on grant money attributed with respect to current trends and other random factors.

Why did it take so many months for the orbiter to get a photo?

Compared to the rest of the achievements of this mission, it seems like this should have been relatively easy: 67P is all of like 2.5 miles wide and the orbit is at like 10 miles. You'd think that a few high res photos in a single orbit would capture nearly every inch of the entire rock.
Well it's the question on who this "regulation" is going to target, if it is going to target publishers then it makes sense for publishers that work within the EU to simply allow Open Access from within the EU only, pretty much every content delivery solution has geo-blocking built in, so publishers already have this capability.

If it's going to target institutions/grant recipients then the only thing they need to do is allocate funds to pay for Open Access which is a bit silly and it doesn't solve the issue, if anything it can make it even worse because publishers could then squeeze authors for even more money because now the public is the one who pays the ransom.
One way or the other, to the extent that there will be a cost associated, it is going to be borne by taxpayers in open access (in fact, the taxpayers in the richest countries will probably subsidize the research of the poorer ones during collaboration).

But your point is very true - at some point we need the top publishers to be thrown out of business and for new ones to emerge AND the new publishers need to maintain costs which reflect true costs rather than the current 'what can we get away with?' prices they charge. Strangely, competition will be really good for this situation but it will not be so great for the researchers. (It would be like determining the quality of a webpage when no website has a PageRank higher than 3). Isn't that why there is so much hair pulling over this issue amongst researchers?

Isn't this ruling going to at least help a little in the sense that the researches now have a legal reason to push back on publishers who charge the exorbitant rates, plus as the sibling comment says, introduces a bit more transparency into the process?

I am interested in getting your thoughts on how to kickstart more competition amongst publishers.
The effectiveness is fine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_birth_control_me...

You don't need to have regular periods, I am not talking about the rhythm method, I am talking about fertility awareness. You accurately detect the hormonal changes which precede ovulation. It does not matter if you ovulate early or late, because you are detecting the changes that precede it, not guessing when it will happen based on days passed.

And there is absolutely no doctor who will refuse to sterilize a woman whose life would be at risk from pregnancy.
Seen as its a Californian company and most of the execs are very cargo pants-ish I also don't think they're designing products taking into account people in other parts of the world like to wear smarter skinnier fitting clothes.
> * DANE is effectively a key escrow system. COM's keys would be held by the USG.

They already are doing this, see first point.

Run a local resolver. If you have trusted server some you can use DNS over TLS.

* DANE doesn't actually work in practice, because of all the networks that block odd-looking DNS lookups; this is Adam Langley's point from "Why Not DANE In Browsers".

Then these networks are bad. For what reason network should be interested with more than UDP/TCP layer in DNS packet? Again, you can use DNS over TLS.

I think you're half right.

First the emotional part. I think you've nailed the emotional tone of whatever response the conference makes. We're friends here. We want you to feel safe and relaxed. Here are some things we've done to help you out if you don't feel that way.

But the emotional part only works inside a logical context. It can not exist on its on. Otherwise we're just swaying wildly in the wind, responding to whatever discomfort anybody feels anywhere. That's not workable.

So the question really becomes this: what is the minimal logical construct we can create in order to facilitate each of us being nice to others so that they can feel safe?

Reading the comments here, surely there are a lot of folks pissed off that they disinvited Crockford. And there had to be some folks who were pissed off that he was invited in the first place. That leads us to our first rule: no matter what we do, somebody is going to be pissed off. Therefore, people being pissed off cannot be a motivating factor one way or the other. Otherwise conferences just become big battles of who can get more pissed off.

How about this for a minimalist rule? If you are a conference speaker, and you are bothered by another speaker and are threatening to boycott the conference because of it, make your case in public. After all, if you're not going to show up, that's a public statement. So instead of putting all of this on the conference organizers and expecting them to sort it out, you get online and make the case yourself. You are the person who was invited to speak in public. You are the person threatening to make a public statement. You are the person causing this public furor. So go head and do that: make a public statement. Don't use somebody to do so in your behalf. That's not fair to the conference, the other speakers, or the attendees. (Or to rest of us, trying to sort through all of this to see if there's anything really there.)
