In addition to the standard salting and hashing, they recommend using an additional key stored separately from the data.

> A keyed hash function (e.g., HMAC), with the key stored separately from the hashed authenticators (e.g., in a hardware security module) SHOULD be used to further resist dictionary attacks against the stored hashed authenticators.

I guess using a pepper is a better-than-nothing measure, if you don't have a hardware security module.

I've had this before with my bank, when I've had to authorise a large card payment (for a car). I was asked various security questions about monthly recurring payments from my account (in the UK, so standing orders and direct debits), but I've so many I can't keep up, and I change savings accounts and health, car, home, pet insurer every year to get a good deal.

The rep on the phone kept prompting me when I was unsure. She'd mention an amount, then when I was unsure they'd say something like, "maybe it's for your mortgage...? Maybe the company begins with the letter 'N'?"

It was all a bit silly, security theater at its finest.
A fixed tax is already progressive since rich people consume far more, but I don't really care. Also the tax would be so small that it really would not matter (as long as many produces have this stamp). Only if nobody cares about the FDA it will be expensive.

> Second, all non-FDA labeled products will have a MASSIVE tax applied, to pay for the externalized costs of bad food, such as emergency room visits, death, sickness, etc.

That's another problem with government. Once it does everything, everything has effect on everything else. You can force any health measure on the population with the argument that others have to pay for you if you don't do something. You might as well require that everybody does mandatory sports and eat the state approved diet.

If you as a state want to make a commitment to universal health care then you have to accept people being people and doing unhealthy things. If you as a state don't want to do that, you have two options, don't do it or put a totalitarian policy state in place so people follow your rules.

Even so, there is no way to prove that these MASSIV externalisiere exist. That's simply your assertion. It could also be that these people are exactly the same on avg. It could be that because they abuse products they die faster and thus cost less money to the state.

> Of course we need a state to enforce this system, and it won't work any better than the existing one, but hey, it's a market solution!

You are contradicting yourself. Its not a market solution, its a state run system either way.

What this idea is about is testing if products that are not FDA approve really are worse in the longer term. Because if it turns out that it is the case that they are not, then we can just all agree to drop the FDA.

As long as the FDA has monopoly we have know way of knowing what there actual effects. Seems to me more people should care about stuff like that.

How does libertarianism deal with shell companies and dumping?

The easiest way would be: No corporations. If the owners of a business are liable for the debts of that business, then they will have much more of an incentive to behave themselves.

She was confident in her judgement that the UVA Rape On Campus story that disgraced Rolling Stone was true as well.

Then she was wrong there, and she could be wrong here too. But I think the greater commonality between the cases is that the "very difficult to believe events" turned out in the end to be false.

Decide for yourself then

I did. I read the thread, I watched the birthday video, and I read some of the suggestive emails (I even quoted one in a different comment here). I'm sure I've missed a lot, but my conclusion from the parts that I saw was that it's still extremely unlikely that Podesta is involved in pedophilia, and quite unlikely that any of the other named parties close to him are either.

This is not statistics. It's deduction. Given all of these facts, which hypothesis best fits them?

I think the most likely explanation is that the supposed points of evidence are misunderstandings due to massive cultural differences. In particular, I think the correlation between all the points of evidence you raise and the actual behavior of pedophiles is very low, and the conjunction of 100 such points is still overwhelmed by one's prior beliefs. Section 17 of Scott Alexander's recent article trying to explain why accusing Trump of being racist is counterproductive is relevant to this point: http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/11/16/you-are-still-crying-wo...

> and should accept all UNICODE characters, too, including emoji

Hell no. This WILL lead to disaster, especially if people store their passwords in managers that may or may not mess up Unicode. UTF-8, for example, allows to encode the character "ä" as \xc3\xa4 OR \x61\xcc\x88. They look visually identical, yet fail any string comparison.

Not to mention the support calls "I'm in $random_foreign_country and don't have $random_char on my keyboard, cannot login"... good luck trying to match the kitty emoticon on your Android phone to the random font on a website to whatever input system iPhone uses. Or when they're used a German Windows keyboard and suddenly have to use a German Mac - basic stuff like the tilde symbol ~, pipe symbol | or the (square) brackets {[]} are not marked out on the keyboard.

I believe that it makes sense to display a warning "Your password may be impossible to type in another country/using a non-$current_platform keyboard" when such characters are encountered.
Interesting point. I think job markets don't move as fast as technology itself. Just because a new framework comes out (and yes, in the web world, it feels like a new one pops up daily), doesn't mean an employer will say, "Ok team, let's rewrite everything in React, or Angular, or (insert your favorite new trend of the year)." A search for web development jobs will show openings for frameworks that came out 15 years ago. It's more important that a student learns to code and understands the fundamentals of problem solving and program design than worry about the latest frameworks or tooling.

Yeah, this picture seems really odd to me. Cambria is seeing soaring demand for their products; they're having trouble keeping up, to the point that they're actually losing sales and profit, because they can't staff up their factory; for the most part they don't require skilled labor; so they recently raised wages from $16.66 to a whopping $18/hr. Also their employees complain of poor morale and not being listened to. And on the other hand, they have an attendance problem.

So it sounds to me like, they can't hire people because they're stingy assholes. Am I missing something? Seems like if they set out to share their success with their employees instead of keeping it to themselves, they would have better luck. So pay an attractive wage, like $24/hr, and treat people well (and listen to them), and then if an employee has an attendance problem you fire them, because you're not paying that kind of money for crappy employees either.

Maybe someone can explain why I'm full of it, but from what I read here I have a hard time feeling very sympathetic.
Wage theft is actually the single largest known form of theft in the USA right now[1].

This post seems to over-exaggerate a commonly known mathematical property.

Suppose I have languages X, Y, and Z. My machine currently knows how to translate between X->Y and X->Z. The goal is to turn Y into Z without direct training. The process would be to translate Y into X and X into Z.. effectively Y->Z.

This isn't really transfer learning as much as it is logical induction...Or am I missing something?

FP and OO are completely orthogonal in my eyes. I can utilise immutable data with referential transparency just as well with Objects as I can with Modules + Structs, but only the latter is called "FP".

I think because Java and C++ championed a very impure OO, based around C-like imperative semantics, people regard huge bundles of mutable state as canonical OO. To me that's not the big idea, the big idea is Objects vs Modules + Structs.

But I think I'm on the fringe here.

If you go on strike for a genuine grievance, you generally can't be fired for that. Basically they're asking the court to determine if it's a genuine grievance, or if these people just aren't showing up to work. And if they're just not showing up to work, then the company can fire them.

(NB: I'm generalising. This applies in some other countries, not sure about the US).

There are also some professions where you don't want them to strike, and disputes should be worked out through some other arbitration process (think emergency services personnel - if paramedics go on strike, there can be some pretty severe consequences).
I don't think NPS is all that bad, but the one reservation I have is that sometimes a high NPS might be due to factors that might be unadvisable to emulate.

For instance, Apple has a very high NPS. A lot of Apple customers recommend Apple products to all their friends. Why might they do that? On reason might be that Apple products are high quality and their users have a good experience from using them. Another explanation is that there's a network effect and that Mac users want to be able to share programs and files and be able to get help when their computer breaks from their other Apple-owning friends.

A manufacturer of Windows laptops might see that their NPS score is lower than Apple and take that as a sign that their customers are more unhappy with their products than Apple's (which very well might be true), but it could also be the case that, in general, Windows laptop owners don't particularly care what brand their friends all buy because Windows laptops are more-or-less interchangeable. Company executives might conclude that adding more proprietary features to their products and creating a walled-garden ecosystem like Apple's is a good idea, when it probably isn't.

They aren't fully identical, though. On my motherboard with some Realtek 8xx chip, plugging headphones into front panel jack, green jack, black jack and everything else produces progressively worse quality. Mainly bass suffers and only when driving headphones (no problem driving amps) so either these outputs have lower power capacity on the chip or DC blocking capacitors on the motherboard are smaller.

> One of the nice things about Silicon Valley, is, you all have worked next to an idiot who has gone off and been successful

That sort of under-cuts the meritocracy message by a lot.

I think success is a product of more things than talent, it could be about projected talent as much as what's underneath the hood - confidence as a product of ignorance and narcism is indistinguishable from the real thing, unless tested.

And guess what, some of those people who talk big actually become those people by a mixture of opportunity and hard work - I feel like one of those imposters :)

But asking a lottery winner on picking the best numbers is nearly as useful as picking a loser on how not to pick them - it's what they do after they win a dice roll that matters (invest, avoid going bankrupt etc).

This is not without lessons though - that the failures were made in a consequence-less environment (sic at Nutting & their bankruptcy) and those lessons were carried into aa future success instead of being the opening chapters of a student loan driven panic.
There is definitely some unnecessary negativity though.

The mentioned Japanese->English->Korean combination is one of the worst possible things to do. Both Korean and Japanese are very different from English, while similar to each other to some extent. Direct translation from one to the other would actually have much better results than translating back to Korean the (likely broken) English you get from Japanese.

Edit: I do realize they're not talking about successive translations, but that's essentially how the training ends up happening, isn't it?

A better example, IMHO, would have been three very different languages, like English, Japanese and Russian.
Presumably what you're missing is the fact that this is translating from Y->Z in a single step, rather than doing two separate translations.
Can We Measure Next-Gen FinFETs
>So it sounds to me like, they can't hire people because they're stingy assholes. Am I missing something?

I don't think you're missing anything. I think that almost 40 years of nigh-state-enforced labor glut have made employers very, very entitled about hiring. Now that demographics are running the other way (as the article notes), with the total workforce actually shrinking slightly, they're being bitten on the ass by that sense of entitlement.

A trained, punctual, polite, healthy, functional labor force does not spring from nowhere! It springs from years to decades of cooperation between employers, communities, and organized labor.

Or from sufficient graft to hire prison labor... which is still only mostly going to work in the "slave states" and only for extremely low-skilled labor.

You can't have a shrinking total labor force, degradation of workers' communities, and easy hiring.

I have previously worked in the gambling industry. The worst nightmare of any gambling device manufacturer is a group of people that discover a bug and exploit it on small scale - no one will bat an eye and investigate if a machine pays out 50 bucks more or less.

However, in most cases people are dumb, greedy or the combination of both - e.g. in February 2014, a concerted mass hack occurred across Germany and over 10M € were reported as losses (http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-126511954.html), and most other bugs surface fairly quickly because people exploit them until the machines run dry and the owner/manufacturer inspects them.

So, in the case of gambling machines/casinos, a small-scale hidden compromise is far worse than a "big blow" - thankfully for the industry, greed usually prevails over common sense.

When high position is stolen from you, and access to the heights of wealth and power denied, there is little one can do about it—except write.

It's not hard to see here the tendency for political leaders to write their memoirs in the aftermath of their defeat.
