I think the idea that it's primarily a security concern is very misleading.

Protectionism can always, always be framed as a matter of national security.

> "Perhaps we should try to help the "ordinary" person keep their servers secure?"

Security wasn't the goal, evasion of oversight was.

Even if it was granted that security was the goal, you would expect the private server to be at least as secure as the @state.gov mail servers, otherwise you're wasting your time. Furthermore, James Comey's statement in July made clear that the private server wasn't as secure as GMail, the kind of email server an "ordinary person" might use. GMail may be centralized, but it's supported SSL from its public release in 2004. The server Hillary Clinton used didn't support SSL until the spring of 2009, months into her tenure as Secretary of State.[0]

The truth is we actually know very little about the operational security of the server because all but one of the IT folks in charge of running it plead the 5th before congress and only spoke privately with the FBI under conditions of immunity. Justin Cooper was the only one to actually testify regarding the specifics of the server, but his role was more administrative than technical.[1]

There's no credible defense for the SoS running a private server to provide email accounts which are less secure than the standard accounts used by the rest of the State Department. The diplomatic role of the SoS inherently requires a high level of OPSEC to carry out its most basic function of communicating with international leaders. Hillary Clinton avoided using the security available to her in order to thwart federal regulations regarding the preservation of public records. That action is no example that any member of the public should be holding in high regard as something worthy of emulation.

Offtopic. Does anybody know of a practical imperative language in which promises are implicit? Often, when writing software, it happens that deeply nested functions suddenly have to return a promise instead of a direct value, and this forces the programmer to rewrite all the callers of that function into dealing with promises, which of course sucks. So it would be better if the programming language would do that rewriting instead (under the hood), so to speak.
> the world is not ready to fully commit to Java 8, as sadly there are projects like Android that are holding us back.

This is only going to get worse after Java 9 and 10 get released.

I imagine by the time we get Java 10, Google might be considering to eventually cherry pick Java 9 features.

They just forked the whole eco-system, and lots of people blindly post links to their Java 8 references, without looking into Android source code, where they are just cherry picking Java 8 features, JVM bytecodes and libraries.

Yup my Kanger Subox Mini starter kit was a great purchase. I cut it down to 0mg nicotine over a few months with ease. I still vape a bit now and then but I never feel the need to do it like I did cigarettes. Plus I don't stink and food tastes so fucking good now!
I believe that the truth is somewhere in between. I'm 27 and own my own home. Where I live it's actually more economical to own if you can accept living outside of the city. Many people my age refuse to make that compromise and instead pay a few hundred extra a month to rent 15 minutes closer to the city.
Can you name a few? Tri-Valley is nice, although Pleasanton and Dublin are pretty much unaffordable already. What would be great is if they could extend BART out to Tracy or even Stockton. They're still semi-affordable, but the commute by car is brutal.

I am not the architect of any large scale system-- that said, I wouldn't expect developers to reach out to GitHub.

However, it isn't bad etiquette and I'm sure Microsoft could get in touch with the devs. Interesting thought.
OpenSSL does not have half the fixes people think it does. Generally what gets fixed is the ciphersuites some people happen to use, and the rest remain broken. For example, the constant time ECDSA signing only works with some curves, not all. It still supports horrific hacks for random number generation, instead of using OS provided interfaces. NSS is not much better on this front, but does a far better job of parsing TLS records in a sane way.
> like it lost the ability to launch people.

The US has not remotely lost the ability to launch people in the context you're suggesting (lost knowledge, lost budget, lost political will). Its literally between launch systems. No knowledge or budget has been lost. On top of it, its doing what no other nation seems able to do, spark a space race between corporations with their own goals and cost-cutting measures. That's on top of NASA's incredible record of space science missions and robotic missions in the interim.

As far as the RD-180 issue goes, ULA buys those engines and re-packages them into domestic launch vehicles that create domestic jobs and keep the majority of the profits local. There's a big difference both practically and politically between this and having a foreign company launch your satellites. So India is not being treated that differently here.

That said, RD-180 purchasing is being phased out. The Delta IV is being retired and that only leaves the Atlas V, which I believe is no longer allowed to buy new engines since an earlier sale this year. That's on top of the Pentagon approving $162m to help fund the AR1 and BE-4 engines which will ultimately replace the RD-180 for the ULA.

> That's because consciousness - at least in the way it's being used here - is not a scientific term at all.

It's not scientific because it concerns subjective experience, i.e. qualia, which are not measurable or observable by someone else. All an observer can do is to observe how the subject reacts. We could either leave consciousness to philosophers (who haven't got much further than Plato did), or expand science to include subjective experience.

> What people think it might be isn't reason enough to postulate a hugely fantastical cosmological mechanism where so far none has been shown to exist.

Agreed.

> I don't really protest against your belief per se, but since you're making claims about reality that are designed to sound scientific when they really aren't, I feel compelled to voice disagreement, unpopular as it might be in this environment.

I'm not advocating any "new age" world view here. My position is similar to that of David Chalmers, namely that there is something which remains to be explained. I have no particular views on how.

That's pretty close to how I do it. I started putting commas at the beginning of a line because when I started doing so I stopped ever having queries error out because I copy and pasted something from one query to another and forgot to remove a trailing comma. Having the commas at the front of the line makes finding those kinds of errors automatic for me.
I don't believe that the contrapositive statement you propose would be inherently true.

But whether it would be true or not, an individual (or organization) working to increase voter turnout without bias is something I would align with. The article references low voter turnout. If that's actually the problem they hope to address, then address that problem, without bias. (Insert note about racism/sexism/other discrimination here, and perhaps the argument becomes more convincing.)

Good luck modeling data to not need this. I have caught myself actively telling people to do this more than once, and I'm really thinking about replicating some data so those changes are less disrupting.

That "Commers Ltd Dallas" probably has differing billing and delivery addresses, points of contact, invoice formats, customers representatives and preferred sellers, product selection, and probably everything else you have on your DB.

For-profit companies at least have the signal of "someone is willing to pay me for this" as a concrete guide to whether they align with anyone.

and non-profit companies have the signal of "someone is willing to donate money to pay me to do this for someone else"
Do you have any evidence to back up that opinion, or is it just your theories on what human nature?

If we want to trade opinions and anecdotes, I personally know plenty of "real men" who have justified giving up on different goals to avoid the pain of continued failure. Heck, I'll admit to having done it myself: many years ago I thought I might want to work in finance but after applying to a few banks and never hearing back I "decided" that it's not really for me when in reality I was just avoiding the pain of further rejection.

I realize this sounds confrontational, but I really do want to know where you're coming from that men don't give up on things due to fear of failure. In my personal and professional lives, I see it all the time.
.. and a substantial part of the Syrian population were refugees from Iraq. http://english.al-akhbar.com/node/19388

This contributed to destabilising the place and offered a supply of Sunni recruits to ISIS. That's why the furthest extent of ISIS territory was an arc across Syria, Iraq and up to "Kurdistan".
Why is this concern not valid for China or Russia ?
I always thought of Einstein's theory of General Relativity as a model. For me it doesn't explain the execution.

This to me makes more sense that at a quantum level there are discreet particles that are being acted on according to relativity. I think of it more like a CPU where this is a clock input.

Had to laugh at that!

In the recent Westworld episode (S01E05), the lab tech was trying to program the bird's AI and his file was called "New Script.wws", where .wws is apparently "west world script".

Look here: http://i.imgur.com/oG9xM8o.png

Immediately, the thought crossed my mind, "Must be fucking JavaScript! No wonder the AI will soon start killing the humans" :-)

In my faux outrage, I went into theoretical scenarios of how exactly JS caused SkyNet. To be fair, once my flash of righteousness passed, I took a closer look and .wws looks nothing like JS. Also, there seems to be C or C++ on the LHS.

I still bet WWS is some kind of duck-typed shite that relies on the cult of TDD to keep the robots' behaviour safe.

Yes, but how? As an American I can try to vote for politicians that are opposed to meddling in the region, but the most that would do is create a non-meddling America. That's not going to affect the policies of other countries. In fact, a non-meddling America would likely open the door for even more meddling by countries like Russia. So: how? I really want to know.
Do people in other countries have to pay to visit the page?
If Thomas has enough time to finish it (bearing in mind the hundreds of hours it will take to bring it to production quality) - and if he has time to maintain it over the years - and if he is able to commit to years' worth of future maintenance - then this could become a very nice and usable implementation.

I think it's great when people write something for the love of it.

For a high quality TLS implementation that is production-ready, and has had extensive third-party verification and certification, I'd recommend mbedTLS from ARM.
This is going to require an international commitment like nuclear disarmament and the convention against landmines. It would also require the US to stop doing it.

I think the point is that improving public transit would actually make the commute shorter. If public transit takes around the same amount of time as driving I'm sure lots more people would use it.

I'm coming from Boston where we have a solid subway system and I massively prefer using that over driving.
A very misleading and poorly researched article. There are dozens of additives and agents allowed in brewing in Germany, but merely because they don't have to be listed on the label, breweries can uphold the illusion of purity.
This western view of Pakistani "parity" is mother of all nuisance. US literally funded Pakistani proliferation with billions of aid, which every one knew was being diverted, while those guys were hiding Osama in their cantonment. Yes, Pakistan would be eating grass if it were not Saudi and American aid.
Unfortunately not, we're a super lean team. There's about ten tech guys for the entire world of ninety offices. I think everyone comes here for school, and expects to leave. Someday, but first school gets paid off.
> "One proposed method of stopping incidents like the Knightmare, and generally to limit HFT from wading too far into ethically grey areas, is by leveraging blockchain tech. For example, front-running—sneaking in trades a few microseconds early based on advance knowledge of pending changes to the market—could be stymied if the market adopted a slightly slower, transactional, blockchain-style ledger."

Adding another layer does not stymie anything - it might add latency but this will be exploited by those with the most resources resulting in [additional] advantages (e.g. on top of the microwave network advantage, a race to write to the blockchain).
Show HN: HTMLComponent – Component-Based UIs Using Only ES6 and Custom Elements
> with the eventual goal of being pure Rust

No, being pure Rust is not the goal. It aims to use Rust as much as possible for the parts that Rust is good at. But core crypto algorithms generally need to be written in assembler, to avoid various timing attacks that could be introduced by optimization. And for things that would require large amounts of `unsafe` in Rust, there's less reason to port that to Rust, and leaving it in C can be more clear.

See the style guidelines from the project:

https://github.com/briansmith/ring/blob/master/STYLE.md#unsa...

The thing that are most appropriate for Rust are parsing, protocol implementation, higher level code that uses core crypto primitives, and providing a safe API to client code. But the core crypto primitives themselves will remain written in C and/or assembler, as appropriate.
Sure, without Web Components is might be, but Web Components and the DOM are the interop layer. As long as your component has properties, attributes, children and events, it's an element and can work with other elements. How it's implemented internally, and what library it uses, shouldn't matter at all.

No, the information they wanted was actually surprisingly reasonable - how many requests per day was my application going to make, how many concurrent connections, how many people would be using my app, what kind of information did I need, what did I need it for, who could they contact if my application turned out to be - intentionally or by accident - DOS'ing the LDAP server(s), and so forth.

I just found it kind of funny that I should fill out a six-page form to get information I could technically access already, anonymously. (Also, it was the first time I saw such a form, that might have been a bit of a culture shock for me.)

It's hard not to see this as a life-and-death struggle between people who think public transportation is the way of the future and people who think cars are the future.

I know which way the HN crowd leans, but I feel compelled to point out that while pro-transit folks may feel comfortable being ideologically "correct", in practice this has just not worked out in the US and any argument about why sounds like someone hammering a bell upon which is inscribed "no true scotsman".

Either there's been a multi-decade cabal holding the entire country in its grip and preventing us from leaping into our beautiful public transportation future... Or Americans just do not want it, kicking and screaming about sustainability to the contrary.

These numbers would be even more exaggerated if San Francisco's city boundaries were drawn similarly to NYC's.
