But they're claiming it will require overhauling their infrastructure and cost money to do -- not that it's impossible to support, or that TLS 1.3 will "be illegal" if their demands are not met (this is just nonsense and 100% FUD on part of your comment, honestly -- and I say that as someone who thinks highly of your work). Furthermore there's no clear evidence TLS 1.2 will be deprecated anytime soon, so these people have years to sort out the details with their vendors to have replacements in-flight. Banks have money and connections. They'll survive this and evolve.

In any case, they could have made their concerns available earlier to the standards body. Like, over two and a half years ago (RSA key exchange was removed in early 2014). This is hardly the fault of "cyberlibertarians" or whatever, this is just these people being out of touch. The alternative here would be that these guys get to butt into the standardization process and demand changes at the very last moment, after years of work, with no negative impacts or consequences for them -- for what is ultimately a small portion of the overall internet.

Why would we want that? It completely undermines the authority of the IETF and the entire point of a standards process if "really important" people can just completely railroad it and demand changes on a whim with no consequences to themselves. Frankly, completely ignoring the actual content of the request, this alone is pretty bad behavior on their part.

Why we should worsen the security of billions of people, and introduce complexity into a vital internet protocol, so that those dorks can have slightly higher profit margins -- I dunno. Designing a security protocol is hard enough. If they didn't want to pay attention to the conversation, and now want to cry their pockets will take a hit -- well, maybe they'll learn and be more proactive next time and save themselves some cash.

> Who wins if browsers refuses to connect to web-banking which operates inside the boundaries of the law ?

Nobody ever said TLS 1.3 would be illegal for banks, that browsers are going to immediately drop TLS 1.2 after this (both of these two being a requirement for your prediction to be true -- lol, and also completely asinine) making it refuse to connect to a "law abiding bank", or that moving to TLS 1.3 would be literally impossible for them forever and can't be solved.

This is just complete FUD dude, c'mon. Unless you're actually interested in the answers to completely nonsense hypotheticals made up out of thin air, I guess...
Bully it back with:

$ cc test.c || sudo rm -f $(which cc)

"Listen, cc, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way..."
horrible example on my part but in every day editors to delete 2 word backwards it would either be (what i'm used to is shift+ctrl then left arrow key 2 times + delete or start typing to change. Someone else mentioned ctrl+<Backspace> works just as fast. I probably should have given a much better case. However, my point still stands that pressing db or d2b is within home row or as other mentioned db. and then how ever many '.' you want to repeat also works nicely without have to "strain" my hands out of home row. I find having to extend my pinky constantly to backspace after an 8 or 12 hour day just really adds up I'm trying to find the best way to stay comfortable for prolonged hours with the least amount of key strokes.

I did use plain Emacs mapping for the first few months of learning Emacs but as many have mentioned it's like do acrobats with your fingers and I lost the benefit that I was looking for in Emacs (better productivity). The benefit of not having to lose my thoughts and use the arrow keys or mouse, once those benefits were achieved I noticed that there could still be a bit more improvement and the vim modal editing was the solution. I still use all default Emacs mapping for everything else org mode, bookmarks and standard plugin stuff, Such as C-c C-j for jumping to the declaration in go-mode or things like mapping imenu to C-x C-i.

The most important part about this is the fact Emacs supports multiple Frames (different than windows). So I can work on 2 monitors and use window-numbering to move between windows and 'other-frame' to change what monitor I am working on I usually bind that to M-` as it's in the same row for navigating windows or search across all open buffers and use ace-mode across 2 monitors. (I'm not sure if VIM has that).

one other note, ace-jump originated from vim under a different package, VI(M) does have a lot of neat features and I believe the Ying and Yang need to balance and be in harmony which Emacs allows with vim (EVIL) :)
The paper seems to essentially say the peak will remain near 115, and the average will never exceed. Obviously, some people will live longer than 115 years, but we'll never expect to regular see our oldest exceed that.

It seems some of this is actually opensource.
Nice! I was preparing myself for a rant against yet another proprietary "decentralized" platform, when I read that this is GNU Social compatible :-). This is great, maybe some more (compatible) competition will do the network good. The current offerings like GNUsocial are not quite as polished as e.g. Facebook and Twitter.

One little suggestion, I can't see anything of your network when I visit the main page. I'm hesitant to sign up for something if I can't see it. Maybe you could add a list of users of the instance / network, public tweets, etc. Or even better, publish a link to a (public) profile, so users can get an idea what it looks like in use.

(If I'd make a federated microblogging / social network site, I would center it around the profile page. I'd make it at first glance less about networking and more about presenting yourself. Like the early Facebook, or MySpace. This way, a user has an incentive to sign up even if no or only few friends are on the network yet. You'd be able to customize your page a lot, leave contact data, write (micro) blog posts, have a wall (guestbook) etc... And almost incidentally you'd be able to use your identity to comment on GNUSocial, use XMPP, OpenID, ....)
We had public debate long before Twitter existed. [0] I have full confidence that if Twitter were to close tomorrow that we would continue to have public debate, and it might even be better debate.

[0] You might claim that Twitter is superior to other forms of public debate, but then I'd ask if you're really happy with the way politics are going.
I've done a bit of reading and I believe the blog post you linked is incorrect. For example, it claims that an innovation of C was to have assignment as a generalised move operation, rather than load and store operations (and introducing registers).

One of the secrets behind C’s success is that just about any machine architecture has byte-addressable random-access memory. Moreover, pick just about any pair of machine architectures, and they differ in their register structures. By excluding registers from its computational model, C has hit the sweet spot in being close to the machine, yet not too close. So there is no place for LOAD and STORE in C’s computational model, while the assignment operator is an operation on random-access memory in the presence of an unspecified complement of registers.

However Wikipedia claims this was an innovation of the PDP-11 ISA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11#Instruction_set_orthogo...

Similarly, you can find many C features, like ++ and +=, mirror PDP-11 instructions (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11_architecture, double-operand instructions for instance)

Finally the PDP-11 had 8 general purpose registers, with two taken for program counter and stack. It seems that main memory loads cost about an extra cycle. So register allocation was not a pressing issue. There aren't enough registers to make sophisticated register allocation worthwhile, and you don't pay a high penalty on a register spill. This is in contrast to all modern machines (e.g. current Intel chips have 192 registers internally and a cache miss can cost a hundred cycles [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4087280/approximate-cost-...)

I'm coming to the same conclusion as nickpsecurity: C was designed specifically to run on the PDP-11, taking advantage of its instruction set, and we're still paying the price of those decisions.

It's interesting to imaging what a better low-level for, e.g, the Parallela Epiphany-V currently on the front page would look like.

That's the thing.

As sensors become richer and the data becomes more valuable to the ML, consumers are becoming more aware of their privacy.

That means to get to a 'good seam' in the future instead of trawling through trash, you're going to have to convince millions of people their interests won't be affected.

That means in time there is an opportunity for a Google-killer with a different business model not based on using the raw data OR using by the use of intelligent agents. Google goes down because its stakeholders are contingent on getting to the raw data.
Shaming becomes another power structure that allows the influential to bully their peers. It's not so simple as you suggest.

Not in the least my intention. I could not understand how anyone, regardless of knowledge level, could empathize with the quote as stated.

From your response, it seems then that your quote wasn't meant in the way it seemed to me. It's not even the unsolicited nature of the report, but any error that causes irritation, and while possibly felt in the direction of the messenger, ultimately caused by the system being ... Well. Broken.

Thanks for the in-depth explanation. :)
"using intrinsics" is a cop out: you are essentially doing the more complicated part of translating that sequence of generic C code into a rough approximation of a sequence of machine instructions and leave the compiler to do the boring and simpler parts, like register allocation, code layout and ordering of independent instructions.

>Sorry, what do you mean by "individual control"? Most companies I know are already controlled by a cabal of James Bond villains sitting in a room sipping stuff. It's called the board of directors, although usually they're drinking something lighter than whiskey.

He means each company has independent control of its assets. They may be run hierarchically, but they only get as large as their competency allows. As soon as an individual company stops operating effectively, it stops growing its market share.

>I mean, you trust combinatorially chaotic and unpredictable things called "markets" as if they were anything other than a combinatorially large, massively distributed stochastic optimization method, so I don't see why we can't solve large stochastic optimization problems with computers.

I trust the mutual consent underlying every relationship in a market, which drives everything in markets to greater sum efficiency and value. I don't trust monopolies where managerial control over economic resources is not strictly required, by the incentives that emerge from its underlying rules, to be a product of creating Pareto improvements.

With top down systems, you need an artificial system of incentives to maintain production growth. In a system based on contractual relationships and independent control over the property one generates/acquires-in-trade, incentives are spontaneously and naturally generated.

Thanks for reading the report. This last weekend there was the first Blockchain Healthcare conference where blockchain was pitched as a panacea for a wide spectrum of healthcare problems.

https://godistributed.com/health/

Our report was targeted at a non-technical audience. Printed copies were distributed to about 500 attendees. We wanted to make them aware that while there may some opportunities for using blockchain technology also comes with substantial risks. We want to help them cut through the hype and maintain a healthy dose of skepticism.

Gartner recently placed blockchain technology at the beginning of their hype cycle.

They aren't as high capacity (per cost/weight/volume) as LiPoly, so they aren't as common. Flying vehicles even less so as they are more sensitive to power/weight ratios.
They're not digital advertising in the traditional sense, although they do a bit of that. They're interactive stuff, some physical stuff. And some games and software, which is why they had Filipe on staff when he tendered his resignation to start work on KSP, setting the whole thing in motion.
Tying in to earlier discussion on C (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12642467), it's interesting to imagine what a better programming model for a chip like this would look like. I know about the usual CSP / message passing stuff, and a bit about HPC languages like SISAL and SAC. Anyone have links to more modern stuff?
Hopefully this will eventually bring an end to the GNip mafia.
App.net proved that locking down the API wasn't Twitter's problem. Once people got over the initial phase of trying out every App.net app they stopped using it. It was the thing that brought them there, but it wasn't enough to keep them using it, regularly.

Seriously the value from lobbying is outrageous from a business standpoint. Even if the bribes were 100x what they are now it'd be worth it. Screaming deal for companies working against public interests, as it has been for decades.
Yes. Google is selling you, to advertisers, quite literally.

I like it. Used it for >several months. If you have used mou before it is similar. You can edit the themes (ive downloaded some from github) and you can configure a couple markdown flavors out of the box iirc.

It renders in place in real time unlike some of the ones that load on half of the screen.

Worth a download. They smoothed out a lot of the issues with updating content & cursor movement.

Best markdown editor ive used, if viewing the rendered markdown matters to you. You can export as a pdf and a couple other doctypes which is nice for sending to non-technical teamenbers who have no markdown reader.
Money doesn't cause this; it's caused by people raised during the microwave generation, and people who don't know about Julia Childs.

I am well aware of the tiny house movement. They were put on wheels to get around the fact that it is illegal to build a house that small. It is a legal loophole. It also means they are relegated to being glorified trailers, which means they will never be on even footing in many important respect with a house with a foundation.

Furthermore, because it is "cutting edge," it isn't yet accessible to most poor people. A lot of tiny houses are insanely expensive per square foot, containing quite high quality materials. They are basically aimed at eccentrics, not nirmal people with a limited income. For $50k, you could build a house that is 600-1000 sq ft on a foundation without a lot f bells and whistles.

The average new home today is nearly 2500 sq ft -- more than twice the size of the average new home in the 1950s -- and contains fewer people than the average house in the 1950s.

We don't need eccentric high quality trailers. We need normal houses with actual foundations that aren't trying to compete with the Taj Mahal for grandeur.

This isn't remotely solved and the primary areas that need to be addressed have nothing at all to do with construction technique. They primarily have to do with policy reform and financing mechanisms.
As the other poster pointed out, I was heavily inspired by TweetDeck which I've been using for 6+ years.

And yes, I agree that's a nice suggestion, user/content discovery is definitely a big area in which this can be improved.

Edit: I realized I forgot to answer the last two questions.

Plans for the project: I'm a realist so I don't think that it will be able to compete with Twitter. However I would like this project to become the go-to option for people who are already inclined to prefer decentralized/self-hosted solutions, and simply be better than the other software in that space.

No, I don't plan to monetize. Mastodon is open-source, licensed under AGLPv3. However I do have a Patreon through which interested people could support me while I work on it.

Yep, I'm really wondering exactly how many decades or centuries it'll finally take for people to understand the value of open-source/Free software. All I see is people bitching and complaining about how various proprietary solutions and services are failing them when they get the rug pulled out from under them: Windows 10 updates borks their computer or adds spyware or advertising, Google shuts down yet another service, some cloud service has terrible security or has a huge outage leaving their business unable to operate, etc. It's simple: if you don't control your own software and infrastructure, you have no control over your destiny and are at the whim of some other entity.
Although my main work is in open-source, free-of-charge, concept-based artificial general intelligence (AGI), my side project is to work patiently and steadfastly to overthrow the unelected Chinese government. As a follower of world events, I am still very angry about the Tiananmen Massacre when the still-ruling Chinese government killed hundreds of peaceful young Chinese students gathering each day to plead for USA-style democracy in China. Instead of hustling the young protesters off to detention and "re-education", the still-in-power Chinese government simply shot them to death, or bayoneted them, or crushed them to death with tanks. Having created Strong AI, I want to turn the AI against the Chinese government and replace it with true democracy. I am working especially hard on subverting the Chinese government right now because my alma mater University of Washington is collaborating with Microsoft and the murderous Chinese government to establish something called the Global Innovation Exchange in Bellevue between the U of W campus and the Microsoft campus. "Over my dead body," is my attitude. I don't care what Microsoft does in cahoots with the Chinese government, but I will make signs and go out and protest before I let my beloved Alma Mater whitewash a student-killing Chinese government. I am encouraging Chinese students attending the U of W to return to China as pro-democracy spies to subvert the evil Chinese government -- which is so afraid of any kind of protest, that I know I can get the Chinese government to abandon its plan to set up camp near Seattle. Anybody reading this in the Seattle area, please make signs and protest the Chinese government in Bellevue WA USA.

This may just be me, but I'd rather not watch something, than watch it with ads. Maybe if I'd been slowly trained to accept them, rather than backed into a corner by them until ad blockers and streaming came along, that wouldn't be the case. Once you live a life without ads though... I mean, virtually none at all... they start to grate on your nerves in a big way. I started to realize how much of my time was spent wasting critical thinking resources on dealing with marketing crap, and I wouldn't go back.

At best, people would capture streams with something like a DVR, then FF through the ads. Besides, with advertising comes advertisers, and their predictable responses to pressure groups compromising the actual product. Good luck making 'Game of Thrones' with ad money!
