I did not say or imply increasing spending makes public schools better. I said taking money away from them does not make them better. Go look at Kansas and Texas and other states where they are starving public schools, and are they cranking out nobel laureates left and right either? No.

The top reason why public schools suck in the U.S. is because of politicization of education. That's why there's more bureaucracy in public schools today than 30 years ago. That's why there are more derivations of school boot titles, where school boards are literally line item vetoing history books to emphasize/deemphasize actual historical facts, and with science. Regional schools are not all on the same page with the same standard, or even the same agreement of how the world is or should work. People move to specific neighborhoods to go to specific schools, and that results in far less diversity today with more small schools than fewer big ones.

Care to elaborate? There does not appear to be anything funny about it.
I could also see this in a suburban neighborhood. Instead of buying "internet" from your ISP, you could buy "computing" from them. Every block has a server cabinet, with fiber video links to each house. Then your ISP is responsible for maintaining your OS.

This could go either way: given the current state of American ISP's, it could be a disaster. But in a "perfect world", it would "just work" because as soon as your OS went down, the tech would be dispached to remote in and fix it, or drive out there and replace a blade in the server. In aggregate, this would drive up demand and evolve a highly reliable OS. In that case everyone should have a highly reliable service (albeit with privacy concerns), as long as the video could keep up.
Are you advocating that we amend the Constitution to strip the citizenship from a class of American citizens?
Great writeup! And actually a fun idea for an intro to rust compiler internals. I'll be stepping through this in detail later.

It would be extra cool if you had a series and did this with Go as well :)
Video is a high-bandwidth way of delivering information at a low bandwidth. But try watching tech videos at 1.5 speed, it makes them much more engaging. Also works for ponderous anime.

In my opinion there's a difference between misleading and factually true.
I don't see how the quote from Suzuki contradicts Culadasa. When concentrating on the breath, the skill is the concentration itself (in fact Culadasa teaches breath meditation).
You're not trying to do something specific with the breath, you're "doing" something only with attention and awareness. You're learning to control the "muscle" of attention and awareness. And samadhi or meditative state, is nothing more than stable attention and powerful awareness. So there's no intermediate action involved.

You confirm it yourself by pointing out that one merely 'watches' the breath. Indeed proper watching _is_ the skill of concentration. On the other hand you can't play Flappy Birds by merely watching it, you have to actually play it. In this case concentration arises as a consequence of repetitively and successfully achieving the game goal (not hitting the pipes).
In case of meditation the reward and meditative joy are the results of the concentration (successfully sustaining attention) itself.

The handout linked above and Culadasa's book explain it in great detail.

BTW I agree that the distinction is far from trivial.

Sadly then Go went and shot themselves in the foot. Originally (I assumed this hasn't changed), you specified dependencies via git URLs. Sounds great, but then they went and said every dependency always used the head of master. So now you're in the horrific situation of your deps suddenly changing whenever your build decides to pull the latest from the git repos.

(Note: I don't use go, but this was the situation about 3 years ago when I last looked).

I really enjoy meeting up with the JRuby+Truffle people whenever I can at conferences. Though our approaches are really different, there's definitely a cross-pollination of ideas: I've taken huge amounts of inspiration about what could be possible from Chris Seaton's PhD work which was on JRuby+Truffle.
I think it looks great. We've been designing this site for a while now and there comes a point where you need to stop designing it and start building it – which is why we still don't have a site :D

Pupillary distance is basically the horizontal location of the pupils. The issue is that pupils can also have a vertical offset from the center of the lens as well. Accounting for PD alone is sufficient for some people. I'm not a doctor, so I'm not qualified to recommend one option over another. It is something you may want to ask your own doctor about though.
> Regarding deployment: between Apple and Samsung they control 75% of mobile all mobile Internet traffic [1]. So with only two vendors deploying, we could see a very fast pace of adoption.

It's the servers that matter for this, not the receivers.
No, the nature of technology building upon itself is the source of exponential growth. As long as storage and processor technology continues to improve - and it will - we will find uses for that space, and network technology will need to keep up.
Hi! I'm the author. You're mistaken about [0] and [1]. I'd like to address your specific point about being a guide rather than a course. I agree that a crypto zoo would be a guide and not a course; although I disagree that either the book or the talk are a zoo. It's possible that that hasn't come through effectively enough. I could understand why someone might think that from looking at the table of contents for example; it's certainly a lot clearer in the talk. The approach is instead to walk someone through the kinds of primitives that exist, but more importantly, why they exist. In that context, when I say "primitive", I mean "block cipher" or "MAC"; not something like "AES". That includes incidentally talking about PRFs, although I dance around that term and use terminology they're going to find in their crypto libraries. Similarly, there's an appendix on modular arithmetic; but I try not to get too lost in proofs about group theory.

I could say "IND-CCA2" with a formal description, but in my experience that makes people's eyes glaze over. It's a lot easier to show them a bunch of reasonably-looking-yet-fatally-broken unauthenticated encryption to drive the point home. My target audience is curious programmers, not new academic cryptographers. If that's your criticism, that's absolutely valid. If you want to be the person to design SHA-4; this book isn't for you.

It's true that I take a different approach than Dan Boneh does. That's not a criticism: Boneh's course is great, it's just different. I think showing people how to break stuff is a useful educational tool. If your threat model is random web apps that have the letters "AES" or "MD5" in their code, I think it's a more effective one than a rigorous mathematical approach that will quickly dissuade the curious programmer.

Carbon-14 is not the type of nuclear waste anyone is worried about. It's barely radioactive, with a long half life and very low decay energy. Disposing of it doesn't pose any issues because it is unable to make anything else radioactive.

You want to make a long lasting low power nuclear battery? Go for it. But don't try to trick people into thinking you are doing anything about nuclear waste.

The nuclear waste that causes problems is the type with neutron decay that is able to activate nearby elements. That is tricky to dispose of, and difficult to store.
Of course. I was also (mainly) posting for the benefit of 3rd parties.
It doesn't need to be in assembly, you could write a compiler/interpreter in any non-Rust language and use that to verify the compiler binary from source (unless you think that someone has already inserted a backdoor into your X-lang compiler with the specific intent of inserting backdoors into the Rust compiler, which is a bit of a stretch (especially if you use a compiler that completely predates Rust, e.g. a version of GCC from 2005)). And even writing your compiler in assembler doesn't provide assurance that your CPU itself hasn't been compromised. :P
This makes me want to create an Eliza implementation that's optimized to waste as much telemarketing time as possible. All that would be needed is a phone that lets you write your own telephony application and use it to answer calls.

One of the interesting points raised in the original Trusting Trust paper was exactly this - that next level of trust can again be subverted via microcode modification, and so on and so forth. I really don't view Trusting Trust (in the original paper) as an attack so much as a philosophical question being asked about trust in general and the way it propagates through supply chains. It's almost a paper more on economics than anything else..
Meh. It was just an intuitive description for laypeople, not a dissertation on the differences between Copenhagen and many-worlds.

Why aren't these kind of hardware driven campaign fully open source?

Why is there not a pdf with plans and clear cut instructions on how to build the wire bender (which at 2500 Euros is absolutely insane)?

I understand using the money for funding more glasses makes sense, but in reality if your mission is for this hardware breakthrough to improve everyone's life all around the world, why hide and hog the design?

I'd like to build this in my machine shop in the other corner of the world, why send 2500 Euros to Germany? I just don't get it. It makes me think of ulterior motives and when that happens I quickly lose faith in the organization. Everyone loses, the cause itself being the most affected.

Although not true in all cases, many of those cities that were built before the distinct concept of urban planning existed were also built and grew large before cars existed. So they grew naturally in in a way that's fairly pedestrian friendly.

In contrast, many cities in the U.S. and Canada grew very rapidly from the 1960s to the present, so you'll often see big cities with a nice (but relatively small) walkable downtown surrounded by vast stretches of generic, car-friendly, pedestrian-hostile suburbs.

In the Toronto area, at least, there are plenty of suburban areas that are nominally served by transit, but it is so inadequate that you'll usually need a car to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time.
Not keen on this idea... I think individual independence in computing hardware is a very important social and technological feature against fascist technocracy. I think sharing infrastructure at the office level could make sense, or within a home, but not across a neighborhood with current technology.

While you may be right that overall availability would increase under such a design, I don't really think reliability is a problem for most people right now.

Maybe it would work in some special scenarios though? For example it may be a viable model to provide 'basic service' computing to individual homes within a low income / government supported housing environment, prisons, or hotels. (Fun fact: In mainland Chinese hotels, they often provide computers specifically so that people can watch porn.)

Identity Transfer and the Rise of Virtual Surrealism

Probably not. Depends on how the core is distributed. Either you'll get HDL or netlists, and they may or may not be encrypted. Obviously the synthesis software has to decrypt it to use it, so like all defective by design DRM it doesn't make it impossible to get at the code, it just makes it more difficult. However, a netlist is just a schematic, so you would have to 'decompile' that back to HDL (and lose the names, comments, etc) if you want to modify it. It's also possible that you would only get the binary FPGA configuration file (this marketplace seems like one more for complete appliances and not IP cores) so you would have to back a netlist out of that somehow and then reverse-engineer it from there.
I suppose the true counter is to write a verified scheme (or forth) interpreter in assembly language, and then write a simple rust compiler in that scheme, which you use to compile the real compiler, and then you can use that to make an optimized build of the compiler.

>So you have a string containing the contents of the module, except for itself

I assume interesting versions of TT would have to avoid this trick, since someone running "strings" on the binary would notice something very suspicious, unless something strange is done to string literals.

And of course engineers and architects are blameless on this - we would not allow for gradual replacement, no, Sir , we need a revolution, tear down this Wall and build a brand new Castle in the sky.

It shouldn't be hard, and I've played with the Go AST before. I ... could :)

This was sort of a bucket list thing though, doing it a second time is less fun :p And I don't have that much time.

Why don't you try? The technique explained in the blog post is pretty universal. Go has an AST too, and while the Folder abstraction doesn't exist in its codebase (as far as I know), you can still tweak the AST. In the case of Go it would be easier to do the injection during parsing. https://github.com/golang/go/blob/5c9035acc1e1540a564ea66000... would be a good entry point. https://golang.org/pkg/go/ast/ should help.

(I am not a Go compiler dev so there may be better entry points)

We need to know the truth about facts.http://www.drasticdsemulator.com/2016/11/drastic-ds-emulator...
It still doesn't work, though. Taking the full scenario into effect, it's:

1. If the site has a CSP allowing JavaScript from "self", and

2. If the site has an upload feature hosted on the domain of "self", and

3. If the site gives someone the ability to inject a script tag pointing to an arbitrary target,

4. Then it's exploitable.

But conditions 1-3 effectively are the "you've already been rooted" case. This is a technically-interesting way to exploit the fact, but in itself is not the vulnerability; it's simply exploiting a vulnerability that was already there and wide open.
It appears to be clearly in the middle cigarette processing phase of actively denying any science, passing state laws prohibiting local control (see for example Dallas Texas).
