Hey, this is the realm of easily provable fact. If Google isn't manipulating results: Prove it. It's easy to do, just open source the algorithm.

Long as you can't do that, you're not really doing much to advance the conversation. Just being a paid shill for your employer.
(a) The fact that I can't (or won't) get a fake cert for Google Mail doesn't really prove anything. I am not the NSA. I assume you wouldn't accept the challenge if I asked you to produce a fake (but cryptographically valid) DNSSEC response for mail.google.com.

(b) Waiting a few months after an attack for a CA to be shut down is not as much comfort as being able to choose in advance which ccTLD or gTLD you are under. As I keep saying, with DNSSEC, the malfeasance of a third party trust source has no effect on your security, unlike the existing case with CAs.

(c) Switching from a "chain is as strong as its weakest link" model to one where you can be free from any subset of governments you choose is a strict improvement and very much the right direction to be going in.

In response to your note: you have made many claims on this site, and I have rebutted those made in discussions I have been involved in, but I don't remember you making the "escrow" claim in one of the discussions I was involved in. I do remember seeing it recently, though, and laughing to myself about it, trying to work out what was going through your mind when you made that claim. Eventually I realised that by "escrow" you mean "The US government could force Verisign to issue a fake DNSSEC response for a website under .COM", i.e. a situation which is strictly better than "The US government could force Verisign to issue a fake TLS certificate for any website with any domain name." Presumably you would call that key escrow too.

I hope I have understood you correctly, and that this counts as a rebuttal, but it's 03:30 here so I'll have to leave this interesting discussion for the night. I look forward to hearing what you have to say in this or another thread soon.
You just make up some meaning from thin air. All meaning is made up. Meaning is a human construct, as any other concept.

Even if you disagree with me, you may concede that for all practical means the universe is infinite and the human mind is finite. Since something finite can't contain the infinite, how foolish would I be if I pretend to understand the universe?

Not that I agree with the creationists, I would love to believe that I'm special because some big guy in the sky gave me life. It is a comforting idea, but in order to accept the concept of an anthropomorphic god you have to believe that humans are somehow special, and this is very pretentious. I'm living in this tiny little rock floating in space which existence is barely a drop in the ocean of time. I'm not special except in the minds of the few people that manage to like me.

But I will not pretend my own version of god is less made-up: the Tao we talk about is not the real Tao.
Sentience being a continuum also suggests that there might be points where man overlaps animals. For example, an adult crow might have more ethical value than a newborn human baby. Taking such a notion seriously would require restructuring a lot of society.
> For some of us philosophy majors, we are just genuinely curious about some notions in life that are often taken for granted. For instance, is our ability to have rational thought just a product of our brainwaves, the interaction of different neurotransmitters? Or is there something more going on, something "supernatural" that allowed humans the capacity for rational dialogue?

What a shame a philosophy education confers no ability to address such a question meaningfully.

It's very rare that an instruction gets removed; the few instances that I can think of are XBTS/IBTS on the very first stepping of the 386, and the CMPXCHG on early 486s that occupied the same opcode briefly. Do any CPUs have this instruction?

It looks like the encoding of PCOMMIT (+66 0F AE/7) is basically the same as CLFLUSH except with a +66 prefix, so if a CPU doesn't know about PCOMMIT it'll probably try to execute it as a CLFLUSH with an ignored prefix.

But hopefully this "deprecated" information stays around, if for nothing other than "archaeological" purposes:

Unlimited time of is nothing more than an accounting trick used by companies. In many jurisdictions accrued PTO belongs to the employee and is a liability to the company. If an employee quits the company in such jurisdictions are on the hook to payout the accrued PTO. Many of these companies don't really like or want their employees to take time off so the PTO just accrues until the employee jumps ship for their next endeavor and the company now has a month or two of salary to payout. Some companies will have a use it or lose it policy where none or only some carries over at years end. This helps limit the liability and amounts employees can accrue but again if the company really doesn't want their employees taking time off and only use this to cover the liability then employees will start calling out the company and it will get a bad name... so that is how and why we now have unlimited (and non accruing PTO). Eliminating a month or two of salary liabilities helps make the balance sheet look better (to investors)...
I don't know. I haven't been everywhere, of course, but I have traveled extensively for my job, and I think American women have it pretty sweet in the workplace. If they were in Japan, for example, they'd probably be fetching tea all day and getting groped; if not at the office, on the train ride home.

I've seen women objectified and discriminated against a lot more abroad than I have in the U.S.

Whether it does or it doesn't is itself a philosophical question. If you are interested in that question, you are interested in philosophy.

The same goes for a lot of other questions that people might not at first blush consider philosophical questions, such as most any questions containing the word "should".

I've found it interesting to see what extreme negative reactions a lot of people have to the very idea of studying philosophy or even being interested in philosophical questions. They're really outraged and think it's a complete waste of time, usually not realizing how much of what they believe and of the world around them has been and continues to be shaped by philosophy and philosophers.

In a DANE world, every TLS certificate for a site under .COM is validated through the DNS, and the USG, which controls the DNS for .COM, can silently swap in its own identity for that of any of those sites.

They don't get the bits of your private key exponent. They don't need them; the DNSSEC key escrow system is subtle enough to let people think their secret keys matter.

When The Ramones started out, they decided that each rehearsal they would write a new song.

Probably more because they didn't know how preposterous that was than as a desire to create a new paradigm.

And so, when their first album came out, they already had most of the songs for the next three albums written.

Correct, but a LOT of developers today write code that eventually runs on Linux in the cloud. With WSL, such developers using Windows will not leave for OS X/Linux
"they're the heavily armed ones that spend their day in cars or in confrontation"

This is simplifying quite a bit. Right now, most LEO are not in positions that require being heavily armed or in confrontation. The vast majority of LEO currently are in positions where being armed is not a benefit, if not a outright detriment, but their training and regulation require them to carry weapons unsafely (see for instance court security police who must carry weapons, except when they are in the courts where they actually work and where they must not carry weapons, leading to them all walking around with empty holsters all day).

The other side of this is of course corrections officers, who have objectively the most dangerous jobs in LEO but receive the least training, the least pay, and the least equipment.

It turns out this is quite simply a cultural problem. The culture of law enforcement in the United States right now is quite simply dangerous and irrational. Without fixing that culture, renaming titles isn't going to go very far.
Why does it seem like every time someone gets offended about something there are calls for people to get fired? There are other ways to address workplace conflicts than to put heads on sticks. As reported in this article, none of these incidents are grounds for termination- not even close.
Worse still, some people are more sentient than others. Its a deep rabbit hole that will lead you straight into conflict with many prevailing orthodoxies. Also very easy to abuse to create some very dangerous ideologies. Put some in the chamber of your Godwin accelerator and its damn near hypergolic.

Almost enough to make you shudder and try not to think so much.
It completely depends how it is said, the tone and the non-verbals. It can be creepy and sexist as well. Some component of it is not just that it was a man vs woman but that it was a manager. Then it can feel patronizing. "Come on! Amuse me with your smile. I don't want to have frowning reports. If you don't smile, no good review at the end of the month" kind of idea

Besides cheering someone up by telling them to smile is like telling a quiet person that they are so quiet. Haven't seen that ever help except make the person even more quiet.
Same here. Small footnote: I was the one who made the transcription of 1997's Spirit of Xmas (soxmas) which was going around our university at the time. A classmate digitized the videotape we had gotten.
You're right in general, but you gave the example of jpeg, mpeg and mp3 which are all lossy compression. LZW/ZIP compressed images are lossless. I suspect that applying Zip compression to font files might not reduce file size enough to be worth doing for the reason you initially stated.

Reminds me of how I discovered that some hosting company's FTP server supported the somewhat obscure `cdup` command (which should work identical to `cd ..`), but didn't check if the connecting user actually had access rights to poke around that parent directory (it did for `cd ..`).

Much mischievous grinning ensued as I showed to my colleagues how i could "escape" from our allotted home directory and look at directories of some of the other clients, before I reported it to the hosting company. I don't know if they ever fixed that loophole...
I know this is beside your point and not to be the Coloradan in the room, but has she tested the efficacy of marijuana to ease her pain? I'm not a doctor, which is who she would want to talk to first, but from my understanding, pot is so harmless that can be taken in conjunction with Opiate pain killers. It's not addictive or potentially life threatening like opiates. There are strains that leave you mentally functional while killing pain. And depending on how much she needs, the retail cost would probably be in area of $70 - $200 a month and would be going to local entrepreneurs & farmers. If you grow it yourself, the cost goes down to maybe $10 - $30 a month depending on your state's MMJ regulations.

Now I just some way to use it with TypeScript! Unfortunately, it seems support for Higher Kindred Types is lacking. Apparently you can use some neat trick to kinda fake HKTs in Flow, but not in TypeScript, due to its lack of nominal typing. (I don't know the details, though.)
It's possible to be interested in philosophy while criticizing the field as it is taught. If you want to know how and whether the workings of the brain can produce rational thought, you'd be better off pursuing a neuroscience education.
I use CL/Scheme/Clojure at work. I generally prefer comprehension style ('for' in Clojure, srfi-42 in Scheme) but sometimes CL's loop let me save a few nestings.

One of such patterns is when I have to accumulate multiple kind of things while I zip through the input. Somewhat contrived example: You have a hashtable that maps integer key to a list of strings. You want to scan it just once and build two lists, strings associated with odd keys and strings associated with even keys.

;; populate input
(defvar input (make-hash-table :test 'eql))
(setf (gethash 1 input) '("ichi" "hi"))
(setf (gethash 2 input) '("ni" "fu"))
(setf (gethash 3 input) '("san" "mi"))
(setf (gethash 4 input) '("yon" "shi" "yo"))
(setf (gethash 5 input) '("go" "itsu"))

;; loop
(loop for k being each hash-key in input
when (oddp k) append (gethash k input) into odds
when (evenp k) append (gethash k input) into evens
finally (return (values odds evens)))
; => ("go" "itsu" "san" "mi" "ichi" "hi") and ("yon" "shi" "yo" "ni" "fu")
That is why I never talk about what people should or should not do - I talk only about some mind tricks that work for me.

That said, I can concede a lot without pretending the universe somehow cares for me. I eat good food, and drink good wine, and just enjoy everything I have.

Well, I think some part of the negative reactions stem from the fact that the scope of philosophy is incredibly narrow these days, and largely limited to speculative analyses.

For example, experiments that detect electro-chemical impulses in the brain and compare them during various moods would classically have been squarely in the center of a philosopher's work. But today, they are part of biology, or psychology, or some other science that has split away from what was once philosophy. As a result, (referring to the original example), literally "Whether it does or it doesn't" is the only problem that is under the aegis of philosophy -- everything else has been delegated to some science or the other.

I like how Atlassian handled an incident that was different, but also included calls to fire the engineer:

http://blogs.atlassian.com/2014/06/failing-values-team-indus...

> I know the engineer responsible well. I hired him. I know the slide does not reflect his values any more than it reflects Atlassian’s, and he is as deeply sorry as we are. It was an error in judgment, but one the company shares responsibility for making.

> As Atlassian, we don’t stand behind the slide – but we stand as a team. When we do good, and when we do bad. Today, we failed as a team. We will help him learn from this, as we all must. Our engineer, our event, our issue, our learning, our growing – as a team.
For me -- apart from dreams of a society where we treat ourselves and each other with honesty instead of sleaze, and what synergistic effects that might have -- the main issue by far is that once the data is there, once the channels are established, it takes very little to use them for other things. I can't find it right now, but reading either Hannah Arendt or Sebastian Haffner I stumbled across a bit where it's pointed out that the dream of a Gestapo officer would be a map that shows the relations between people. Maybe I misremember it a bit, but not much.. it was something that really was uncanny and creepy, because it wasn't written with future technology in mind, the kind we already have spanned the planet with. It showed out that we're far beyond what even the people worried about Nazism 2.0 could dream of. Yay, what a treat for us.

The current state of things is a wet dream for for totalitarians in some ways, you can simply record everything now and then use whatever algorithms you like on it later. Some of the people who warned about the technology and our apathy even back then might say it's way too late now. The fact that we now say "Is it even a problem? Why worry about something that might not happen?" kinda shows something doubleplusungood is going on. Once the only thing between you and a totalitarian hell is how the wind blows, with no other recourse than hoping for the best... well, that's kind of a vacuum, nature abhors and is filling it.

I'm going to reproduce a reddit post I made recently that I think is relevant:

Analytic philosophy has made my mind a razor. It forged in me the confidence and mental discipline to learn anything, and I'm now dominating the tech scene despite having little in the way of formal coursework.

I was lucky to choose one of the few disciplines that can be fruitfully studied at Brown. As any student of a rigorous discipline, I was ultimately responsible for my own intellectual growth; everything I ever truly learned has been in solitude. The less-than-brilliant technical faculty, weak course offerings, and charlatan arts professors had little negative impact on me. In fact, being forced to retreat within myself was necessary for my success, because it allowed me to look at reality more critically, unmired by the prejudices and preoccupations of the misguided or less thoughtful around me.

I have nearly everything I want in life, but I was lucky to (1) pursue rigorous scholarship and (2) be born with the abilities and personality that made such a pursuit feasible at Brown. The less intelligent[^] or more impressionable will be made failures at Brown. Those are the people I'm trying to warn.

[^] For example, those who were not invited to attend a better Ivy League university. It's very tempting for someone in this position to choose Brown over a better option simply because it is wrongfully perceived as prestigious for technically being an Ivy.
