"Imported inflation" listed as "2." under "Causes of Cost Push Inflation".

http://www.economicshelp.org/blog/2006/economics/cost-push-i...

However, it misses the other side-effect of imported inflation, namely the effect of substitution. If good or service A is imported but priced in a relatively appreciating currency, and service B is non-imported and priced in the local currency, the price of B drops, driving demand upwards. If B is also exported, the export markets seeing a relative drop in the value of the currency B is priced in will also buy more of B, further driving demand upwards.

Consequently, imports become more expensive even without a drop in demand. Exportable items (or even just substitutes for imports) become more expensive in response to increased demand.

It's a very interesting combination of factors here, and they're also making the observation that this could be how the original XX/XY split occurred.

Sexual genetics are actually a lot more complicated than people think. There are YY "supermale" people, though it's more common in fish which gender-flip depending on population balance leading to XY males breeding with XY females. A YY male will always produce male children.

There's also XXY, XXXY and so on which is where things get even more complicated.

The issue of trust is solved if you can find a trustworthy intermediary, like an insurance company, to financially guarantee your products against compromise. Insurance is the tried and true method for transferring risk from one party to another. I'm certain there are plenty of customers who would find an insurance by eg. AIG sufficient to do business, without needing to know the internals of the hardware you produce. I know I would.
I used HSMs for a code signing project, and once someone can borrow your key to sign malicious payloads, it really doesn't matter if they have your signing key or not. You still have to get a new key, and clean up the mess.

Separating art from the artist (or code from the coder)
Say there are two vote options, 0 and 1. We use addition modulo 2, i.e. XOR.

I vote for candidate 0. The voting machine tells me the random number 1 (out of 0, 1). When the voting results are published, I can check that next to my name it has 0^1 = 1. When someone asks me what my random number is, I can either answer 0, to pretend I voted for 0(random number)^1(public list) = 1, or 1, to say that I voted for 1(random number)^1(public list) = 0.

"I would not recommend writing this style of Basic if you want a simple language these days. Basics are a nightmare of ad-hoc parsing with too many edge cases.

Same sex birds adopting eggs from other breeding pairs are quite common in the avian world, especially among populations that nest in close proximity such as penguins.

There's no "origin" to homosexuality. If anything having differentiated sexes is an aberration, the majority of plant species have both as well as many of the precursor species to modern mammals like snails and flatworms. In situations where the separation of the sexes provided some kind of evolutionary advantage it took hold. In others it never happened.

Also our preconceptions about gender goes out the window when there's four possible expressions as in the case with these birds.

Making a Man of the Mad Monk: A new biography of Rasputin
Not really. Just put the clearing function into another translation unit.

clear_memory(secret_key, sizeof secret_key);

(And don't enable any wacky whole program link-time optimizations. Those violate ISO C by continuing semantic analysis into translation phase 8. ISO C makes it clear that tokens are "syntactically and semantically analyzed" in phase 7, as translation unit. Then in phase 8, only references are resolved to link. Doing any semantic analysis to optimize things at link time violates the conceptual model thereby given. GCC has support for this but it has to be explicitly enabled; moreover, there is more to using link-time optiizations than just passing options.)

The current translation unit must really call clear_memory and really pass it the pointer to the secret_key, whose contents have to be settled. The writes performed by clear_memory really have to take place, because the caller depends on it; clear_memory has no idea that the object is dead (having no next use) in the calling translation unit.

The main problem is not getting the clearing not to be elided, but with stray copies of the data being elsewhere. The C programmer doesn't have visibility and control over all the storage areas where a datum may end up. If secret_key is really cleared, is that enough?

Ask HN: SaaS plans: One without encrypted data at rest, and one with. How to?
Hi!

I was thinking to include in my highest plan to encrypt all customers data at rest.

A solution could be to have 2 DBs:

- a DB for the lowest plan without encrypted data (MySQL)

- a DB for the highest plan with encrypted data (MariaDB?)

Do you think it's a stupid idea? If no, do you have a better solution to achieve it?

Yep. This also demonstrates way of thinking in Russia. Their lies are at one step ahead of common Joe (no more, no less). Russians even has special word for this kind of lies.
Engineering simulators are used for this purpose, I have worked on them, and seen them being used precisely for trying to find unexpected system behaviors under sensor or other subsystem failures (valves, computers, motors, power,...). This is quite costly. In commercial aviation there are teams for developing the simulations and separate teams just trying all kind of strange scenarios. In less critical projects, say for example drones, I have seen it done too although with smaller teams.

As I see it with the limited information we have right now it seems that either the error was made when writing the requirements for the IMU or the IMU wasn't the correct one. Having worked writing navigation software I cannot help siding with the software developers. The IMU is usually the central piece of the navigation system, at best they could have flagged it as failed but that is usually way more improbable that the altimeter failing. And even if they discarded the IMU measures I don't know what other sensors could be used to get at least the vehicle attitude. I think that after the saturation they were doomed and a software solution is not realistic.
One solution is to make blackmailing people's votes illegal. Then the risk of someone recording him with a phone or hidden recorder would discourage your boss from blackmailing you. You could also make it illegal to reveal your vote to anyone else, to make it easier to spot coercion.

In extremely dishonest countries where the local courts, police, and election officials are all corrupt, a large mafia-style presence could coerce a lot of people into voting a certain way. But if any of these are at all trustworthy, it seems difficult to coerce anyone. And even then, the mafia abusing too many people(>5%) would cause them to riot.
Yes, but then you lose the whole benefit of a HSM -- that keys generated in the HSM are physically protected from being extracted. Aside from that, a HSM is just an implementation of regular crypto algorithms.
I mean, the swing states were known beforehand. A concerted effort to fix the elections there would decide the election, surely?

Scrutineers : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrutineer

You have a number of differently affiliated persons watching the proceedings, and having at the end a rough idea of the number of votes that were returned per polling station. Then (with some coordination that should be trivial for the smallest of political parties) those results can be independently reckoned and compared back to the official totals. Any irregularities should be quite obvious. Recounts are probably the Achilles heel of paper ballots, as you need a way to verify that they were not tampered with in the meantime
Check out the many threads about this on HN about why electronic voting is not going to be secure enough
Edit: I now see that you are referring to someone attacking the module, rather than the module having a backdoor. I agree that insurance is a good way to avoid financial loss, but it doesn't at all address the backdoor issue.

> The issue of trust is solved if you can find a trustworthy intermediary

No it isn't solved at all, because that assumption breaks down very easily, especially now that we know for a fact how invasive surveillance and backdoors have become.

For example, a Chinese company who would like to use such a product would reject a certification by a US or European insurance company, and rightly so. The same applies to a US company with Chinese insurance. The requirements for trust become exceedingly more difficult to meet once you start dealing with military contractors, law enforcement, etc. So where do you propose insuring the hardware module? The US? What if China proves to be a larger market? How about if you want to sell the tech in the EU? It's a rabbit hole of "trust" imo.

This is why an objective verification function would make things much more straightforward for chip designers and fabless semiconductor IP companies. And if you can objectively verify the hardware at runtime, you get even more useful guarantees.

I completely understand that the use of a trustworthy third-party is sometimes necessary, such as in X.509, but when it comes to circuit design, I think we need to and can do better than that.

20 brands in the same area? Or in different parts of the country?

Wikipedia has this list, which shows a lot of variation, but I'm not sure how reliable it is with smaller chains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fast_food_restaurant_c...

Also depends on where you visit: the largest cities often have a lot more brands than more average places.

Frequency and traditions of eating out/cooking at home very likely play a role, as do food preferences (does a bakery chain count?).
If your definition of an HSM is just "hides my key material from my application server", then sure. This is basically the idea behind HashiCorp's Vault.

However, you'd still be vulnerable to someone gaining root access on your Vault server. A true HSM uses physically secure memory and a dedicated cryptoprocessor to make it impossible for the secret to ever be leaked, even if the host OS is compromised. This isn't really something that's possible in software alone.

(In fact, the Vault documentation even mentions that you might still want to use a dedicated HSM for security, since they implement a plugable mechanism for secret storage.)

That said... you could use a TPM chip or ARM TrustZone to implement true TPM functionality. It's still a hardware based solution, but it's hardware that's much more affordable and possibly already inside your computer.

> If you know whether your model is consistent with the data, you know whether it is inconsistent...

No, that's not true. And in fact I got it wrong earlier when I agreed with you that statistics can tell you when data is consistent with a model. They can't. At best they can tell you whether the data are not inconsistent. That sounds like the same thing, but it isn't. It's like the distinction between "not guilty" and "actually innocent." At best (or at worst depending on how you look at it) a statistical test can tell you, "This theory cannot be confidently ruled out on the basis of that data under the following assumptions..."

> I think you are talking about some other issue than I am.

That is quite possible.

[UPDATE:] BTW, I read the Meehl paper, and I completely agree with what he says. So you and I may be in "violent agreement" here.

Please stop with these unsubstantive comments.
If we have to use machines why wouldn't we just source two machines from rival vendors. One machine takes the vote from the voter through whatever method, records the vote and prints a receipt that clearly states that voters choices. Machine two reads the receipt in front of the voter and keeps a second tally of votes. The two tallies are then compared at the end of the night.
Don't shoot the messenger! I am just passing along the one story I remembered / found interesting.

I'm not saying this scenario is plausible for swaying the outcome of a presidential election (which is what I am sure is on many of your minds right now). But for locally elected officials? Seems at least plausible to me.

At the end of the day I imagine electronic voting is all about speed. A quick wiki search brings up the following anecdote:

> The voting system has been widely accepted, due in great part to the fact that it speeds up the vote count tremendously. In the 1989 presidential election between Fernando Collor de Mello and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the vote count required nine days. In the 2002 general election, the count required less than 12 hours. In some smaller towns the election results are known minutes after the closing of the ballots.
The interesting part for me is how individually rational decisions can have weird consequences. The culture of secrecy infecting everything else.

Also, the conspicuous absence of spheres would tell someone that spheres are critical to weapons design.
This sounds a lot like video games like StarCraft and Overwatch today. Korean competitive gamers have achieved the same kind of machine-like skill. In the Overwatch World Cup this year, not only did the Korean team go undefeated, but they massively crushed their opponents (even in the final game!).
There are two different types of polls we're talking about here. One are polls conducted during the campaign to capture potential voter sentiment and perhaps predict the outcome. The second are exit polls attempting to measure the election outcome based on what voters say they cast. (Nearly?) all complaints about polls I've seen have been about the former.

There are different sets of issues with both categories of polls. If anything, I believe the issue is not a measurement issue as much as it is educating the public about what the different types of polls are, their limitations, and their usefulness.
Can you do that with an F4? If so, I'd like to take you up on your offer. I'll even pay you if you tell me how you did it.

> Controversy surrounding the dish resurfaced last month, when Antonio Carluccio became the latest in a long line of chefs to complain that one of Britain’s favourite “Italian” dishes did not, in fact, exist in Italy

Food snobs like those really get on my nerves. I mean, it's one thing when one starts adding cream to carbonara (or make it with just cream, like they do in the UK) but swapping spaghetti for tagliatelle is hardly a crime. And like the article said, people in Italy are not that anal about the type of pasta - ragù is one of the universal sauces you serve with anything. I grew up eating Spaghetti al Ragù on sundays in my local trattoria.

Besides, ragù alla bolognese is only ONE type of ragù. There are others, even if we just to stick to the traditional ones, which are eaten with all sort of pasta shapes: hare ragù (pappardelle), sicilian ragù (eaten with small ring pasta), neapolitan ragù (maccheroni or rigatoni), lamb ragù, pork ragù...

And throwing a hissy fit for adding a bit of garlic, surely, it doesn't go well with the sauce, but it's hardly a crime against humanity.
Not really, no. AIUI, the whole point of having a hardware security module is that it only leaves a very narrow attack surface (ie, the protocol for communicating with the device) for malicious software to try to exfiltrate the sensitive data through, with no way to get around it - so if that interface is sufficiently hardened, you should be secure regardless of any weaknesses elsewhere in the system.

In contrast, while you could think of, say, an ssh key agent as a sort of "software security module", such things are inherently vulnerable to low-level attacks that side-step the intended interface. Say, a kernel exploit that grabs the decrypted key straight from the agent's memory.

So if you need to keep your secrets safe even if you unwittingly use them on a comprised OS, you can only pull that off with a hardware module.
