That's a lot to respond to at once. :-)

I will say it's important to understand how the Salt we return is generated. We use a massive pool of data as effectively the internal state of a hashing function. This means you need all the data in order to perform the same calculation.

The value sent to us is just the hash of a salted hash. By itself it is useless. The value we return is Salt2 -- also useless on its own. This is very purposeful. If the TLS channel is owned, nothing of value is lost. The Salt1 is still private on the site's server, and no passwords can be cracked without it.

Availability is a legitimate concern. Similar to SMS multifactor, this is an added 3rd party dependency. We direct peer to many of our customers and route over private IP space to avoid a potential DDoS.
It's a matter of credibility. /r/the_donald exists solely to attack Hillary and spin Donald's scandals. Without moderation this thread would devolve into baseless accusations and personal attacks, which have nothing to do with the posted topic.
Along the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, there are hundreds of cabins, some now turned into year-round homes, that are on land leased in the early 1900's. In recent years, a number of issues have arisen to change the lease requirements and renewal terms. At least 100 of these properties are on land that has been given to conservation groups by the power company and those leases are not being renewed and the cabins are, slowly due to court battles, being razed.
>As far as I understand, actually both the hashes and symmetric ciphers will continue to work "after quantum" and "just" increasing the number of bits can be enough to keep them secure. And the whole cryptography can be (re)based on these two?

I don't think so -- that doesn't cover public key cryptography. I'm pretty sure that one-way function and a symmetric cipher (which is basically just a secure RNG) are enough to produce a public key cryptosystem, which requires a trapdoor one-way function.

When Sina launched Weibo in 2009 it was very much a 'clone', however, I agree not so much now.
First, the argument isn't over whether Graham and Altman can drop ties to Thiel, it's whether they should.

Second, if you think that firing an employee for their political beliefs is a straw man, you should be standing up for Palmer Luckey in this case.

Indeed. And in this world now, information asymmetry is greatly reduced. Politicians can live with it.

The fairy tale is you can hide your dirty laundry until you've fleeced your negotiating opponent.
Indeed. There are some odd numbers in these graphs which make me a bit skeptical of the conclusions.

>Your comments are infuriating in another way, because you're not actually debating what many people here are trying to talk about.

tptacek is focusing on the article. He has a very simple argument that Altman is acting shamefully.

This argument depends on Altman believing that Trump is a threat to democracy. It does not depend on anyone else believing that Trump is a threat to democracy.

tptacek wants to settle that, rather than get mired in arguing about Trump.

It's not preaching and dodging. It's focusing.

Comparing Chinese repression to American repression and saying they are similar is like comparing North Korea repression to Chinese. Yes there is an element of truth, but the scales and natures are completely different.
Australia had a mass shooting with 35 people dead in the mid 90s and basically the very next day they all handed over their guns and went almost completely gun-free.

Yes, Trump is extremely valuable. He's exposing America's dirty laundry in a way that couldn't happen otherwise. There is a significant minority who want some autocracy in their government, or they don't care if that's what they get as long as the dear leader calls it like he sees it, even if how he sees the world is demonstrably wrong, and will give the undeniably very wealthy a tax break they may want but don't need.

He has some important points. White people are scared of the brown? They like their white privilege and don't want to give it up? They're attached to their misogyny in ways they can only articulate when off camera? Yes. Important. Just like it's important to look for blood in your stool.

I generally agree, that America since roughly the 1980s, has regressed politically. It puts its dirty diapers into the hamper, out of site out of mind, until the next election. It increasingly likes emotional tug of war, stoking anger and acrimony, rather than persistent converse. And that's how a con man has so impressively conned so much of the country. He couldn't care less about the gripes of those who have a legitimate complaint about how things aren't going all that well for them, but he's all too happy to exploit it. He can't fix any of these problems aside from obsoleting the Congress. I think he'd like that.

Trump TV, the next con. I think the original idea of running in the first place was just to sell his brand, not lead a country. He doesn't act like a leader at all, rather an ordinary stick that just likes stirring the pot. He's done nothing his entire life to make this country better, or the lot of those he now claims advocacy.

What's really at stake is making the leader of the country someone who resorts to name calling as his primary art of diplomacy. He was easily manipulated by Howard Stern, and there will be more gifted manipulators on the Hill, and around the world. Donald is out of his element. There is no bankruptcy lifeline for him at this level.
> I guess the fact that he's a billionaire means he can be bullied

No, the fact that he is supporting a republican means he can be bullied. The tolerant left is on some radical moralistic high ground right now and it's far more dangerous than any words Trump has said.

When the campaign of a presidential nominee (Hillary) is recruiting the homeless and mentally ill to cause violence at Trump rallies, simply condemning and attacking someone for having different political views is all but normal.

I don't get it. What is the status of mr. Assange? Has he communicated with anyone in the past 24 hrs. If so what did he say?
Just curious, where do you get your summary of the leaks? Certainly not on mainstream media because they don't talk about it.

Until the thousandth time you use this tactic, and the number of people shunned begins to outnumber the ones doing the shunning.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope in time you can come to focus on the similarities you have to your fellow humans rather than what sounds like a myopic focus on purely ideological differences.

If it was so important, why the casual nature of infosec here then? Email is not secure. The real reason here is the Clinton/Goldman leaks and everyone knows it.

> Trump doesn't care about homosexuality (literally when asked what he would do if he found out an employee was gay he said "it makes no difference").

Yeah, right. You do know that Trump wants to appoint clones of Scalia to the Supreme Court, right[1]? The same Scalia who was opposed to gay marriage and gay rights? [2]

> I'm a gay guy who wants to legally marry and I'm not going to vote for someone who has denied me my rights.

... but you don't mind supporting someone who will continue to deny you your rights?

I really don't know the answer. When I use "self-aware" or "sentience" in regards to AI, I mean something along the lines of "does the AI posses "knowledge about itself" and does it have some form of inner monologue.

I think it's probably a blurry line. Great apes are probably just on the non-sentient, non-self-aware side, but boy are they close by some measures.

Sorry for this small rant ....

I dont understand why everyone is so caught up with answering emails on vacation. Yes - it's not ideal, but as long as your not expected to be on your phone all day, and in my experience, you are not unless you own your own business, are a doctor, etc. then what is the big deal? 5/10 minutes of email's in the morning means Europeans have a better work/life balance ?

If you work for a small company they might need you to be available because you are an integral part of the operation. Id be surprised you are expected to answer emails on vacation if you currently work large company in the US where you are 1 of N team members where N > 50.

Technically routing gets easier with more layers available. If a 16 layer board cost the same to manufacture as a 2 layer one I would just always use that.

Of course today they are still magnitudes more expensive so generally such a high layer count means you are routing evil high frequency signals..

There is an atheist community no doubt about that.

The possibility of extending the Mercurial core with a well-defined API is one major reason. In fact, most interesting features are extensions, bundled with Mercurial, and after several releases and experience, the functionality usually gets integrated into Mercurial proper (most often than not still as an extension). This is, unfortunately not an C API but Python, but it's still an advantage Mercurial has for now. Git has various efforts to build reusable libraries to write tools with, but there isn't an officially sanctioned _and_ complete one that works across all platforms. Microsoft has removed their reliance on libgit2 and shells out to git in Visual Studio now. If the git project had an official libgit, which exposed all functionality, is reused by git itself, and worked across all platforms, the situation would be in favor of git because consuming a C API is more broadly supported than, say, using a Python API inside a .Net application.

tldr: Git is still faster overall, but those who want to extend a dvcs choose Mercurial for its API that exposes the data structures in a stable manner, albeit in Python, which limits use cases.
Funny you should say that, since you're the one hallucinating something other than what I wrote.
Very much is. As well as a lot of other cities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irvine_Company says that the company owns about 1/5 of Orange County. Including several cities.

One of those cities is Anaheim, so that suggests that Disney is leasing the land for Disneyland from the Irvine Company!
I was like you, and at first I enjoyed it a bit. But then I realized that the game only has one goal: get resources to fly to the next planet. That's it. Nothing else. And then you start to see how 90% of your time is simply getting resources to the fly to the next planet to get resources to fly to the next planet to get resources to fly to the next planet, etc. Its a procedural terrain generation tool with heavy-handed resource gathering. Your ship can only lift off the ground a few times before needing to be refueled. Its absolutely ridiculous. All of my time spent was getting fuel to get more fuel. The creatures are a joke. The weapons and gear are a joke. There's no point to bothering with that. The ships are a joke. You don't really fly it so why bother? If you could really fly through the planet on your own and not have to worry so much about fuel, I could totally see your point. But the game is just so heavy that I can't take time to enjoy anything. They literally put your ship on rails when you get to a planet.

If anyone has skipped this game because of negative reviews, be grateful that you didn't waste your time or money. Its a terrible game after a few hours. The dev team absolutely lied about it.

Oh and as a side note, before the first patch, you could use your "afterburners" to fly quickly over a planet from place to place. But then Hello Games shut that down so you have to either take your time or fly out into space and then fly back down. Its a time sink.
The real story is that he considers women, military officers, Hispanics, and blacks to be "food groups". Good god, but the press would have a FIELD DAY if a Republican labeled such groups with that term. Remember "binders full of women"?

Of course, they're thinking in terms of strategy--in the old days, you'd balance the ticket geographically or politically (and so very different people like JFK and LBJ would run together) but now you do the same but with respect to identity politics. Fun times!
If this an option it's obvious why any administration would prefer to take it but it's an abdication of duty for Congress and the courts to do nothing about it.

I only heard the term "deep work" yesterday, listening to Cal Newport on James Altucher's podcast.

It's a pretty good introduction and he talks about his own approach to work. He's also a professor of computer science!

They talk about his other book first (also interesting), so you need to skip a little way ahead for the deep work stuff.

> Even most leaders of the Republican party refused to get on stage at the RNC to support Trump. Thiel did.

The reason for that is very simple. They don't have "fuck you" money or "fuck you" careers. They need to be careful of what they say and what they do. Peter Thiel doesn't and to a lesser extent neither does Sam or Paul. They probably will still have an oversupply of highly qualified people acting in their own self interest who want to take advantage of YC and all it offers. Ditto for investors and so on. A much different situation than a politician.

> But we are all very much entitled to criticize what Altman is doing, and we would be doing Altman no favors by withholding that criticism.

In all honesty Sama goes up many notches in my (non-important to anyone but me) ranking system for what he is doing. Even given my previous thoughts on the actual impact to him business wise or personally (I am sure anyone who needs him will still seek him out and forget about all of this.)

No, not at all. It's basically just a discussion of what it means to be conscious and the ethics of creating sentient machines.
Thinking there is a lot of good in "what Trump has said and done", that his horribly racist, sexist and insane opinions and ideas are an acceptable price, and that Clinton would be a worse president is a legitimate opinion, but comparing Clinton's reckless behaviour to Trump's reckless statements is not. Forgiving past errors isn't the same as accepting future policies.

You mean the philosophy that has him releasing material with carefully timed consideration to maximize attention to his own pet cause?
I disagree. All those things you mention are entirely optional and it is very possible to create high quality code without them. My rule is, don't use them until you run into a problem that the tools solve, then you can use them while understanding exactly what problem the tool is meant to solve.
To be charitable, you're full of shit. Does Hillary encourage violence at rallies? Does she stoke resentment at minority outgroups for political gain? Does she threaten to imprison her political opponents? Is she preemptively calling the election fraudulent and encouraging polling place intimidation and violence?

Also you mixed up "kind" and "degree". The difference between them is, in fact, one of kind. Sure, she's a bit of a corporatist shill, but that's par for the course for most presidents since the 1900s. The case against her is built from years of strident exaggerations and lies, amplified by misogyny. She's a completely normal, if less than thrilling, politician. The case against Trump is sufficiently built on things he's said in public in just the last few months alone. He's an American proto-fascist.

There's a rationalist proverb: a bad argument gets an argument in return, not a bullet. Using economic force in debate starts edging towards the "bullet" end of the spectrum.

This shrinks the range of discourse and makes the collective brain more stupid. Call it "racism" or "fascism" or what you will, but every political movement that persecuted its opponents thought its opponents were worthy of persecution. This is called "demonization". You use current morality to turn your opponents into demons and justify raising the stakes against them.

We'd all be better off with a precommitment to civil debate. This would include engaging with Trump's specific ideas instead of using mere labels to refute him.

Did she? Or were these just some names on the "first cut" list that one of her advisors sent to her?

If you actually read the email, it's the latter.

Quite a lot of the reporting on the Podesta emails conflates what Hillary Clinton thinks and does, and what her staff thinks and does. The press does that because it makes the reporting more interesting. (But less accurate.)

"John Podesta Sent Hillary Clinton a List of Names" is not as compelling a headline.
