Have you tried interval training? I've had the best return on effort with that out of everything I've tried (jogging, traditional gym work, cycling). It's light on broscience and seems to be supported by all the 'real' scientific testing. It only takes 10-15 minutes per day and it's completely self-guided (I use a timer app on my phone to keep track of intervals.)
The one thing I have always found is that usually, when there is an actual example of one individual who is directly hurt by someone else's prejudices, there aren't two sides to the issue: it's pretty clear to neutral observers that the prejudiced person is in the wrong.

But in almost every case of people being chased up online for this sort of un-PC behavior, there are no examples of individual people who claim to have been directly hurt by them. There's just the group saying that they're "problematic" in some vague sense.

If we could de-legitimize any conversation about injustices that isn't couched in concrete terms of pain caused to non-hypothetical people by non-hypothetical actions, I think there wouldn't be any "tempest" left.

Thanks for the shout out, Ben! I sadly have to correct you though: our $300 free trial for all of GCP is time limited to two months. That said, you're right about App Engine and it's free tier, it goes a long way! Since Firebase is built on Google Cloud, you can easily still use Firebase for the "front end" / client, and serve it up as a json response as suggested.

Well, not "of all people".

Hunter S. Thompson has that reputation from younger people as "crazy guy who did lots of drugs". That was part of it, but his reputation came from his writing and journalism. He created a new, influential style of gonzo journalism[1] where he was openly opinionated and wrote with emotional attachment, and certainly some exaggeration.

That he's remembered as "crazy guy on drugs" instead of "great writer" or "trenchant journalist" shows very well the pop culture drift that happens with public figures.

Thompson was a standout writer with a brilliant critical eye towards society and found much of it disagreeable. That he found a way to relate that to his contemporary generation is shown by his body of work.

That he's remembered as a "drug guy", so a critique of Timothy Leary is surprising is ... too bad.

Check out "Hell's Angels" or "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72", if you've got the time.

According to another comment here, the anti tamper mechanics on those projecters are not limited. They are in fact quite aggressive.

If they have been any kind of smart when designing them, the decoded stream takes a limited, shielded, and highly tamper resistant path to the projector chip, and each and every critical component are paired with each other such that switching one of the out automatically destroy all keys.
> Fans would easily spend on the roadshow cut of Hateful Eight or the integral cut of Kill Bill. Both are not available to buy.

Why might that be? Maybe the market is too small. But in that case, why would they care about piracy? Strange.
I suspect that the Hateful Eight compresses considerably better then most movies due to the amount of time outside in the endless snow. If it compresses 20% better then a movie of a similar length (like one of the LOTR), one of those movies could go over the 50GB size.
Co-ops still have boards and often employees that report to the board (or another employee). There's a structure there, but they also tend to be smaller so the structure has less impact.

I was treasurer of my housing co-op and we had one full-time employee who reported to me and the board. That employee (the coordinator) hired contractors for maintenance, bookkeeping, as well as things like the laundry machines.

Even large co-ops (like clothing stores) have the members vote a board in that sets up the structure.

So about the same price as a brand new Hilux? Which are already produced 100's of thousands per year and are already all over the place in the developing world.

I've got much respect for Gordon Murray but did I miss something here? At something like 1/3 the price he might be on to something, but like this, its just another rattle-trap diesel truck only suitable for 3rd world use. They've got lots of those already. Plus at a cost that high to start with, I'm not sure "you can save a few bucks in shipping if you put it together like an IKEA couch" is actually a feature.
When I worked at Bell-Northern Research (and Nortel) they had two tracks for advancement. One was the managerial track where you were promoted from a technical staff to a manager, the other was the independent technical adviser. If you did the latter, you basically became a manager without any staff and you worked with the managers at your level to direct the products. There weren't many in my division, but there were some. I was unofficially one because my department manager left (after the rest of the members left) so I reported directly to the manager the next level up and sat in on the department managers' meetings.
Show HN: sdees – serverless decentralized editing of encrypted stuff
When it comes to watching movies, I will take the path of least resistance. Not even for moral or philosophical reasons; I'm just lazy. Netflix/Amazon/[streaming site] is easier than pirating is easier than buying a Bluray disk at a store, so that's the order I'll do things in if I want to see the film badly enough.
To add to this - a typical cinema release is a pretty big file - frame-by-frame encoded as jpg2000 in 4k. Often shipped on hard drives, or downloaded via dedicated fiber lines. They key material is distributed separately, and allows for fine-grained control of play back (eg time of day - to the point that if a screening is sufficiently delayed, it may sometimes have to be cancelled if a new key can't be acquired in time...).

This all works due to proprietary hardware - the modifications to the 4k cinema projectors that enable decryption almost at the lens/imaging chip can cost as much as the projector itself, doubling the price of the projector (last I heard from around 15k to 30k USD).

With a more sane key distribution (no master keys in equipment, like with dvds) - I don't believe DCP is likely to be cracked in the same sense CSS was: probably the more likely scenario is that some insider leak some of the distributors private keys which would allow certain releases to be cracked - but would likely also trigger key roll over.

Also worth nothing that the DCP format is pretty nice, has optional encryption - and you can make your own. With the right contacts you can view your own footage on on a cinema screen :-)

400 Years of Equator Hazings: Surviving the Wrath of King Neptune's Court
1) Define "enough" in terms of each and every specific piece of hardware, combined with the mixing heuristics and functions in every kernel of interest. It's one thing to say you want N bits of entropy; it's quite another to accurately quantify it. (Count the number of times you see a word like "assume", "estimate", etc, in papers discussing kernel entropy estimation, and you'll never look at entropy estimation the same way.)

2) If you managed that and were able to conclude in the negative for a specific combination of kernel, kernel revision, and hardware models and revisions, what then? Are you going to recreate all that infrastructure in your app or through a gargantuan dependency along the lines of egd or havaged (which we've already learned from experience is a poor idea)?

My point being, the question is arguably irrelevant. If available entropy at boot time (usually first boot, as the shutdown/startup process recycles entropy pools) is insufficient, better to pressure vendors (software and hardware) to address it than to add another layer of cruft or a complex mitigation. The fix will probably be out in the next year or so (indeed, with RDRAND has been out for years); the hack will linger for far longer, perhaps eventually becoming the weakest link in the chain.

For similar reasons I think the article's as well as libsodium's choice to only use the most recent arc4random implementation as shipped in recent OpenBSD releases is misguided. Every other *BSD provides arc4random, and arguably applications should always prefer to use the libc's arc4random implementation. Eventually they'll be upgraded, at which point your application will have a useless dependency adding at best needless complexity and at worst vulnerabilities.

Once you look behind the interface of arc4random, you're obliged to look behind the interface of /dev/urandom, etc, and I doubt it will look much better. Until the recent overhaul (last month), the PRNG infrastructure in Linux relied on SHA-1, which isn't much better than RC4, especially when considering that the RC4 used in the classic arc4random implementations discarded the first 1k of output and reseeded regularly. SHA-1 hasn't been recommended for cryptographic purposes for several years, and while you could make pragmatic arguments for why it was still acceptable, you could do the same for the particular use of RC4 in older arc4random implementations. I don't see libsodium skipping /dev/urandom for kernels before 4.9. At some point you have to stop bending over backwards to support platforms with poor QoS and leave things as you found them as long as they're not utterly broken. If experience with egd and, more generally, the boots-and-suspenders approach to security is any measure, classic arc4random is well within the bounds of reasonable. Simplicity is the rule of the day; experience has taught that complexity is invariably a net loss in security, especially when the weakest link remains unchanged.

1000 Volvo's for 300 million, that's 300,000 euro per Volvo.
Granted, the article says 'adjusted for interest and inflation'. But that seems wrong, if you had the choice in the 70's to buy a Volvo but instead you put the money on the bank, you would have only the accumulated interest by now, not anything else to offset the inflation.

Calculating backwards with an average 4% interest rate for 45 years gives an original price of about 55,000 euro in 1971. For that money you could buy a villa in Sweden around then.

Conferences are for-profit things, yes? Companies don't owe their customers anything, but if they don't give their customers anything, then customers don't have any reason to give the company their money.

Or, to put that another way: a conference about Javascript that kicks out Douglas Crockford is pretty much in a default state from the moment they decide to do so of "so why should anyone attend this?" until they provide an explanation that serves to ameliorate the bozo-bit they just seemingly flipped.

> If you can view it, you can copy it... it's just a matter of time, motivation, and desired quality.

And exactly the time and motivation needed is why DRM can work in the end. Modern DRM schemes like AACS employ methods to change keys for new works. So when crackers find a key that allows them to circumvent the DRM scheme they can't publish it or it would soon get useless and they would have to do the work to extract a key again.
This is probably what we're seeing here.

This means that for consumers the DRM stays effective. They can't do copies of things they legally bought.
8080 Simulator for 6502

I'm the original author of the 8080 simulator...

Yes, it ran; originally on the Kim1 and later on the Apple ][. My quote from the earlier article meant that the assembly LISTING was faked, i.e. hand-typed for clarity. Yes, it may contain typos; but it is definitely real, and should be pretty easy for anyone who may care to debug... ;)

Not the OP, and I do not live in Africa, but in Eastern Europe, where paying 10-15,000 euros/pounds/$ for a car is also seen as expensive by a lot of people (I couldn't afford it, that's for sure).

Looking on the roads around me the VW T3 is really popular around here for people who want to get things done, you can find decent enough examples at around 800-1000 euros (I know because I also looked at purchasing one). The repairs are easy to do, lots of spare parts available, and if you think diesel is too expensive you can always install a LPG system on it and now it becomes even cheaper to run it. Unfortunately the next T4 model is a little too big.

For a similar example that comes from Eastern Europe also look at UAZ-452 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAZ-452), that's a very durable and reasonably cheap car that can handle almost anything.

A suggestion to the author: the documentation must be in HTML pages, not PDF files. That would help search immensely and make references much easier. Furthermore, how about loading the code on GitHub or the like instead of distributing tarballs? Both PDF and tarballs smell of 90s.

Actually I remember tuwien.ac.at from the times where I was downloading software sources from FTP mirrors in the early 90s, so that's a good nostalgic fit :-)

A suggestion for other researchers: start with a git repository and documentation written as .md files. Then write your thesis with LaTeX and export a PDF if you feel like, but for all the developers the source of truth will be the repository and the mds.
Lol, I've seen that issue myself, but only at maybe half that (ridiculous!) number of tabs.

> I'm also a little surprised there hasn't been an attempt to launch a completely new Firefox from the ground up.

It's interesting how the history goes.

We had Netscape 4, and it was crap (remember when resizing a window reloaded the whole page?)

So they was a ground-up rewrite of the rendering engine, resulting in Gecko, which was put in Mozilla.

Gecko was great but Mozilla was a bloaty amalgamation of features, so this was created a pared-down Gecko version called...

~Phoenix~ ~Firebird~ Firefox, which had the great rendering engine and a lean, native-like UI.

Then there was KHTML/KJS which was built for KDE, which had a lean architecture but didn't have the investment to get the compatibility 100% there...

Which Apple then poured into the project in their fork to WebKit, which paid off in spades on the resource-limited iPhone a couple years later.

But Safari was only on the Mac (aside from their "Cocoa on Windows" version and a few open source ports), which Google took as a reason to create...

Google Chrome, where the biggest innovation was rendering each page in its own process (since Safari could freeze up due to one page going in an infinite loop in JavaScript).

So will someone out-Firefox Firefox and do what Chrome was to Safari for multi-processing? Take the rendering engine and put a new chrome on top of it?
They are equivalent in zero-sum games, but not in non-zero-sum games. For example, consider a game between Alice and Bob who are sitting on a bomb. Each of them has three options:

1) Enjoy a nice latte

2) Trigger the bomb, killing both

3) Disarm the bomb, stopping the other from triggering it

The min-max strategy is to disarm the bomb, but there's a better Nash equilibrium where both players enjoy their lattes.
Totally awesome, a true philanthropist.
