Uh, it's been 4 years... I know, time flies.
Thank you. Sort of. Now I have to waste my time figuring out how Scantegrity is flawed.

With the prior Punchscan system, voter privacy is accomplished thru hash collisions. Hiding your ballot in a herd of ballots cast. A trick that works only if your herd (precinct) is large enough and your ballots are simple enough. Definitely would not work (protect voter privacy) in my jurisdiction.

Side note about IRV, as used in Maryland Park: It's now a non-starter. After the handful of well-studied experiments, election administrators are dead set against it. Ballots are complicated, voter education is tough, and IRV necessitates electronic tabulation, which rules out legally required manual recounts. (My jurisdiction often gets over 500k ballots. IRV is not feasible here.)

I was doing all kinds of mental gymnastics trying to figure out how this would work; thanks for explaining it so clearly.
Lastpass can report which sites are sharing the same passwords (and also which are not using a random password generated by it). For some sites it even automates the password changing for you. It doesn't work for all sites (including this one) but it saved me a load of time just recently.
Given Yahoo's security policies, whose to say someone wasn't just sending it from Yahoo's SMTP servers without any access to user's email accounts?
The collision generator behind that link does not implement a preimage attack (given a string X, come up with another string Y with the same MD5 hash).

Instead, it implements the much easier collision attack (come up with two strings that have the same MD5 hash).
Nothing is "easy as hell" at scale.
Were your IQ tests run on a 1:1 basis with a trained practitioner over the course of several hours? If not, they're not one of the actual formal IQ tests, but either some form of proxy or some random unrelated test that someone has slapped the label on.

This is why there's so much confusion about "how can the IQ test be considered studied and reliable, bah!" - because the ones that are properly performed are labour-intensive and require a lot of training - and this is why results are all over the place. It's just not the case that $RANDOM_YAHOO[1] on the internet knows more about the caveats around IQ tests that the professionals who apply and study them.

Disclaimer: have formally studied 'intelligence' (and cognition, perception etc) and been given a partial IQ test myself by a properly trained professional, which came with the caveat "the results can't be properly used, because you're familiar with the process, which confounds the results".

> I especially hate their lack of folders

GMail supports labels as folders. When you create a new label it will ask you if you want to nest the label under another label and you can do this repeatedly to make a nested folder structure.

Crucially, this will show up as nested folders via IMAP.

>> if it works right

this is the crux. Current-era chatbots, and chatbots for the forseeable future (barring some radical breakthroughs in the understanding of intelligence and natural language), are all the same terrible APIs people grapple with now, with an added layer of indirection because at least you can look up an API spec. Just because you can type out full sentences doesn't mean it's a conversation; it's still precisely the problem of API design, i.e., trying to imagine your user's use cases and writing brittle dialogue trees to accomodate them. Except now, the interface layer (Natural Language) is an extra layer of noise.

Your analogy to business communication does not hold, because there's still a human being on the other end of the line in all those communication forms. At the very least, it's someone to scream at when you repeat the same thing 30 times and they don't understand. Instead of a steady refrain of "I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that; could you rephrase it ;)?"
Hey Sean — I've been away from JS for a while and I'm just getting back, so I used Webpack for the first time this week.

I always felt indifferent about it, and the config style felt a bit like Revenge of Grunt, but after using it and especially after reading your tweets and responses to issues on github, I finally understood why Webpack is so popular.

I know project maintainers often work hard for little reward, but you're consistently gentle and helpful with beginners and people with complaints about Webpack. Thank you.
Seems that anarchy is contrary to government, and out of necessity a government is needed to have a court. Those pure free market types I'm referring to self describe exactly as anarcho capitalists and say all disputes are resolved by insurance, exactly zero government. If there's a court, maybe that's a venue the insurance companies all agree upon. But if you don't have insurance or don't have good enough insurance you don't get as much representation or as much of a payout and that's your choice, sometimes life is unfair and you get screwed over.

And as it's describe to me I almost immediately start thinking of Gangs of New York and axes. It's such a total departure from anything remotely civil I can only imagine this leading to a bunch of heads being chopped off. But hey, there's insurance for that too I guess.

I do almost 100% js dev these days, and I've been switching back and forth between Sublime and VSCode for the past few months. The one major issue I have with VSCode is lack of completions for strings and words which Intellisense doesn't understand. Sublime's CodeIntel dose an excellent job of picking up all the "words" I've used in open files and saves me a lot of typing and typos.

Maybe there's some config I'm unaware of, since VSCode's site does mention "words" as a type of completion, but I've never seen it work for js files.

What good is requiring you to change your password on the next login? How do they know it's not just being re-compromised? There are a lot of accounts that are orphaned, but the contents are exposed and still a threat to the original owners.

Why not just lock the accounts?
on the surface, it's easy to say "all bets are off" in a crash/recession, but would you say the same for retailers like gap and tiffany?

the business models are conceptually similar: buy a product from suppliers (clothing manufacturers for gap, home owners for OD) and hold in inventory until a seller is found.

the key difference, of course, is cost of goods. each product costs OD hundreds of thousands of dollars (and eventually millions) while each gap product only costs a few dollars.

like gap, OD can directly control how much it buys from suppliers while indirectly controlling how much it sells via discounts.

predicting home demand is obviously much more difficult, because both the buying psychology is different and the sheer volume of apparel transactions makes forecasting demand more reliable.

nonetheless, the principles of managing cash flow and inventory risk remain the same. provided OD isn't carrying excessive inventory, the business model can survive downturns in different geographies. (what they can't survive is an environment where homes everywhere perpetually depreciate.)

put another way, if people can earn money in the stock market during a recession, why can't OD do the same for the housing market? OD can treat homes like equities in a stock portfolio where they try to balance losses in one area with gains in another.

in summary, OD's fatal flaw won't be a housing bubble (unless it's global and permanent), the fatal flaws will be the risk, pricing, and inventory models. and until you have insight into those, it's impossible to properly assess OD's prospects.

it's also important to note that inventory risk could decrease over time, as once the pricing and demand models are honed, they could allow third-parties to finance some transactions (e.g., home X has a 80% chance of turning over in 30 days).
And to clarify, some Yahoo Groups require a Yahoo account to participate. You cannot participate with a regular email address, you must sign up to a Yahoo account.

If you join a real-world social gathering which happens to use such a Yahoo group, you may find yourself excluded from online communication with that social network unless you agree to sign up to Yahoo.
Yes, but these are the benefits of chat/messaging. Not the benefits of bots.

Development on Linux. Xamarin dev on Linux is limited to MonoDevelop, instead of Xamarin Studio which is the one where you actually get some tooling for the purpose; and I'm not sure it's even possible to get anything of value done with Xamarin using Linux alone.

Xamarin thought it was a great idea to fork MonoDevelop but completely drop support for a platform the application was already running on. Something that would blow my mind if I didn't know better the people involved with Xamarin at the start. Rather, a specific person. No points for guessing correctly who it is.

With that said, there are a lot of alternatives for Xamarin. Last year I tested a bunch of mobile frameworks on low-end devices and it really doesn't compete with native, and in fact lost to Kivy in runtime speed, a Cython-based, community-run framework. Worth mentioning that it was about on par with React Native.

> hash = sha512(salt + MD5(password))

Passing the password through MD5 reduces the complexity to 128 bits, you can't get that back.

So the security level is not the same, though it may be resistant to some attacks on MD5.

And it's probably not important for most people, since there are less than 2^56 eight character ASCII passwords.
The article is from Yahoo, it's a notification from Yahoo, announced by their head of security. They're not hiding the event.
I used to work at eBay Trust and Safety. The place is a nightmare and will not improve. The culture was destroyed by Meg Whitman and never recovered.

This kind of fraud sticks out like a sore thumb in click stream. I had no trouble finding fraud and building algorithms to automatically detect it but I did find it impossible finding someone at eBay who cared enough to do anything about it. eBay still gets paid so no one wants to be in charge of a revenue hit. I doubt that's changed.

My favorite part of moving to the US was when I found out starting a sole proprietorship takes literally nothing. You just start and in your tax return you say "self employed" or "partially self employed" and say how much of your income was from that. Then you get to deduct business expenses too.

In Slovenia starting a sole proprietorship was a weird process of starting a corporation that doesn't bring any benefits of a corporation[1] and a bunch of complications with taxes and social transfers and such.

In the US, at least, we tolerate a fair amount of error. See the WI recount this election, which exposed the totals to be off by over one hundred votes. I'd be willing to bet if you recount again, it'd be off from that total as well. It isn't absolute is my point.

Interestingly even if the password has infinite length, an MD5 hash has a fixed finite length. You can think of it as a glorified modulus operator, beyond some point the longer passwords will have hashes that match shorter ones.
I can kind of understand that reasoning, but one of the nicer things about strong passwords is that there are a lot of them. In some sense that's what makes them strong passwords.
I really hope California isn't overreacting, possibly due to industry pressure from taxis etc. The state should be doing all it can to support, grow, and encourage this innovation.

Do you use any extension to use emacs keybindings? I've tried out VS Code a couple of times and wasn't able to find an extension for emacs keybindings that had everything I use in it. When I tried out Atom, one of the packages for this worked fairly well (although I have other issues that prevent me from using Atom as my full-time editor)
1) I'd be flabbergasted beyond belief if there was ever a Yahoo! engineer who had user passwords on their laptop / Dev box. The technical hurdle for that would be a stretch, let alone the fact of the other ramifications of doing this.

2) there's no SQL database involved with Yahoo!'s storage of passwords. It's a custom built db system with proprietary access and replication protocols.
He doesn't need to memorize it. He mentioned he used 1Password to generate it. I'd assume he's storing it there too.

A sole proprietorship doesn't give you the same protections as a corporation. You have unlimited personal liability for your business actions.
Uber is a company built on ignoring laws. Everything they did in the beginning was against some form of taxi or car hire regulation, in the name of disruption. (Regardless of what you think of the laws in question, they were still being broken in the eyes of most regulators)

I don't know how I feel about that type of corporate philosophy (or Facebook's "move fast break things") in light of projects where people can actually get killed.
I'm guessing what was meant by culture was "cultural life", as in "things to do outside" (think the Arts & Culture section of the newspaper).
Was the car in this video in driverless mode, or was it in manual mode with a human driver controlling the vehicle? AFAIK, most current driverless cars still have a manual mode.
No, no - I understand that you can think this, and that they claim it, but from a UI angle, it's wrong. I hate the implementation of labels.

They don't actually disappear when I click on inbox. When I want my inbox, I want just that folder - all filtered content goes elsewhere and disappears until I want it. That's not GMail's way.
Can't disrupt these days without breaking some laws.
The only thing that might surpass Google's inability to execute on their autonomous cars is Uber's congenital need to break the law for no reason at all.

From a certain point in life living at your own place (no matter if rented or not) with no room-mates is non-negotiable, given the financial means to do so. I'd rather live in a studio apartment at the edge of the city (been there, done that) rather than sharing a villa in a beautiful neighborhood with 5 other strangers. If it matters I'm in my mid-30s now, but started feeling that way immediately after I broke up with my wife 5 years ago.
My figure is for testing all possible ways of changing two characters by one each (and the ways of changing only one character are a tiny subset of that). This doesn't catch people who change 3 or more characters, or who change characters by more than 1, but at that point is it really still so easy to guess?
Quoting Mises who is the Marx of anarcho-capitalism:

> To be opposed to the state is then not necessarily to be opposed to services that have often been linked with it; to be opposed to the state does not necessarily imply that we must be opposed to police protection, courts, arbitration, the minting of money, postal service, or roads and highways. Some anarchists have indeed been opposed to police and to all physical coercion in defense of person and property, but this is not inherent in and is fundamentally irrelevant to the anarchist position, which is precisely marked by opposition to all physical coercion invasive of, or aggressing against, person and property.

and

> An important point to remember is that any society, be it statist or anarchist, has to have some way of resolving disputes that will gain a majority consensus in society. There would be no need for courts or arbitrators if everyone were omniscient and knew instantaneously which persons were guilty of any given crime or violation of contract. Since none of us is omniscient, there has to be some method of deciding who is the criminal or lawbreaker which will gain legitimacy; in short, whose decision will be accepted by the great majority of the public.

(Note: not defending this stuff, just pointing it out for sake of discussion).

Elsewhere someone pointed out the book "Anarchy, State, and Utopia" which has a better overview of what libertarians believe in. Which is a "night-watchman" state, a minimalist government which includes courts, police, and border control.

Mundanely speaking, launching from high-altitude planes or balloons, and using space planes, could save a lot of fuel, as well as allowing for a wider selection of launch sites and, as a consequence, wider launch windows and the ability to change where one launches from at short notice, all of which could help reduce launch costs.

I don't think I'm getting my point across correctly. Sure. There are niches in the bay area that are great, and I'm sure I'd meet many interesting people there, if I decided to stay.

However, there's a certain point where enough is enough. It's not like this problem I'm describing is just the effect of a one-off bubble that will go away soon. It is going to get worse and worse; like it has always been. Housing prices / COL are going to go up and people are going to be constantly forced out of their homes and have to relocate and compromise. If you fuck up in your career or make one bad move with your finances, you are done. Bye bye bay area. If it doesn't happen to you it will definitely happen to your friends. It's just a horrible existence and I am honestly baffled you don't see this despite living there your whole life. The only way I could conceive of you not seeing this is if you and your friends have something like $2M saved up and don't need to worry about finances.

Migrating e-mail is very difficult, especially if you're like me and decide to setup your own e-mail server. The biggest problem I had was my e-mail getting falsely classified as spam:

I've also occasionally found really old services that use my old e-mail account. Even thought I have the password, they still require e-mail verification; which can't be done because the gmail account doesn't exist and it bounces.
Seems like the best way to quantify such claims is a small daemon that listens to your keystrokes. Which would use a config file to configure which finger hits which key. Then with the logs you could record top typing speed, and total finger distance.

Then users could contribute their speeds, accuracy (number of backspaces), and finger distance for whatever mapping pleases them.
