This has been submitted before, but the last discussion was 2 years ago, and the issues raised here remain relevant. I know that, because I've just run across them in a meeting that was, well, rather tense.

It's worth knowing about this to make sure you preempt the issues when meeting with non-technical (or sometimes technical) people.
> Also the longer you use OpenPGP, the less keys need to be verified. The start is very hard, since you start with no trusted keys at all. The longer you use it, the more fluent usage becomes.

This is exactly what scares me and the point of my "I'm giving up on PGP" article. People holding on to keys forever, moving them from laptop to laptop, never rotating them and asymptotically approaching compromise... because it's the only way to ease the pain.

> You are making assumptions for which we don't know the answers.

You are making the claim that Clinton used her private server to skirt FOIA, and your evidence is that the Executive Secretary once sent an email about using a device approved by the State Department. Nowhere in the response does Clinton or anybody on Clinton's team say that they won't use this non-existent device because they want to skirt FOIA, yet somehow this constitutes (the sole) evidence to support your claim. Meanwhile, we have her entire email chain with the NSA and mountains of testimony under oath supporting the other conclusion that she used her personal server simply because she wanted to use her Blackberry.

> Likewise then why do you suggest I simply dismiss claims by taking the other side's argument?

I don't. I'm simply suggesting that you discard arguments that have already been discarded. The side that has been attacking Clinton for 20 years isn't going to tell you which of their arguments didn't hold water.

Edit: This chain has reached maximum depth, and I can't reply any further. Can we agree that there is no reasonable evidence that Clinton used her personal email server in order to skirt FOIA?
I think most of us here agree that ditching the Gulfstream will do wonders for the environment; but this isn't a pitch for "Arnold is living the best life for the environment."

He is a man who is becoming more conscious of his meat intake and taking steps to reduce that and his footprint.

Can he do better? Of course! Does that negate the validity of the argument that reduction of meat intake is a good idea for the environment? Nope.

The overall point is that we can all take little steps to reduce our footprint and meat is just one of them.

That said, it is quite amazing just how much fuel has he used.
Yes, this would be great, but I don't see how they could ever achieve it the way you or I envision. Emulators like Dolphin allow us to play (almost) any game from the associated era. As far as I know Nintendo can't just re-release all the games developed for their consoles; the publishers/rights holders would have to do that. So while yes, Nintendo could release an official emulator for PC (like they do for their consoles) the library of compatible games would be rather small (just like on their console emulators).

Alternatively they could of course build an emulator just like Dolphin which plays normal disc/cart images, but again what use is that? The average consumer can't rip their own images, and downloading images that you don't own the original for is illegal. So there's not much utility to Nintendo's target market. Plus, I believe this could potentially erode the relationship that Nintendo has with publishers. Publishers demand a platform that will help them maintain control over the IP. If Nintendo releases an official, unlocked emulator they're saying to publishers that Nintendo will protect their IP ... but only for so long. That's in contrast to today where publishers are effectively guaranteed infinite protection.

On the bright side, emulation will likely be better for this latest generation of consoles, because they've become increasingly similar to PCs.

Laffer Curve [Optimal Tax Rates]
As far as I know, no one's trying to pass a law banning your consumption of steaks. So this might be what's considered a strawman argument.

As for what dictates the consumption and environmental impact, in theory it should be your ability to afford that steak.

The price of beef, however, from calf to cow to transport to butchering to your plate, is so heavily subsidized all along the way--and the externalities like environmental impact mostly unaddressed--that that steak you're getting is the deal of the millenium.

I'd like to see how much that steak would cost if it weren't subsidized, and its pollutant side-effects were properly assessed and taxed. Maybe once a month is all you'd be able to afford.

I discovered a short memory loss on myself. It's more like an instant blockage rather than a memory loss.

Whenever I have multiple tasks to cover in a short amount of time, my creativity levels stutter. I find myself unable to come up with quick and creative solutions instantly. I guess I need to learn how to work under pressure although I've read that multitasking is counter productive.

I find short breaks helpful but most of the time I can't afford them because of the urgent nature of the tasks. Writing down helps a lot when I do routine actions, but I still believe that this might not be the best method to incentivize creativity.
Maybe a little, but my general energy level was higher than before, if I took into account all the peaks and valleys I was having from my blood sugar being all over the place. But I did really try to pay attention to what I was eating, knowing that less energy was a common issue starting out. I made sure to nail my macros (fat/protein/carb), took vitamins religiously and drank tons of water.

> I am not quite sure what you mean with your comment, as "relying on a DB to do the work for them"

Maybe "to do the thinking for them" would be more accurate.

> sound like a good thing to me.

You did what they do - you assumed based on some your usual workloads that a DB and the overhead of using another language, and a non-compile-time checked language, with poor integration (type mismatch), is the solution for the problem I'm working on.

What I expect them to do is ask questions. How many values are there? Are they complex types or something that would map to tables well? What are the querying requirements? Are there any relational elements to the data?

> Its usually way faster than doing stuff in the application code

If shoving things across two sets of pipes, to a general-purpose app not tuned to your workload, is faster - you're writing your main app incorrectly.

> the declarative nature of SQL usually means less bugs.

A declarative language usually means less bugs. But adding a second mismatched language usually means more. Especially when it comes with a whole new system that takes experts to properly tweak.
The wikipedia page for Sokal Affair has a lovely section called "similar incidents"

> Christoph Bartneck, an Associate Professor in Information Technology at New Zealand's University of Canterbury, was invited to submit a paper to the 2016 International Conference on Atomic and Nuclear Physics organised by ConferenceSeries. With little knowledge of nuclear physics, he used iOS's auto-complete function to write the paper, choosing randomly from its suggestions after starting each sentence,[24] and submitted it under the name Iris Pear (a reference to Siri and Apple).[25] A sample sentence from the abstract for the resulting manuscript was: "The atoms of a better universe will have the right for the same as you are the way we shall have to be a great place for a great time to enjoy the day you are a wonderful person to your great time to take the fun and take a great time and enjoy the great day you will be a wonderful time for your parents and kids"[24] and the 516-word abstract contained the words "good" and "great" a combined total of 28 times (and is available online).[25] Despite making no sense, the work was accepted within three hours of submission and a conference registration fee of US$1099 requested.[24][25] The incident was compared to an earlier case where Peter Vamplew, from Federation University in Victoria, had a manuscript containing only the phrase "Get me off your fucking mailing list" accepted by the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology.[24][26] ConferenceSeries is associated with the OMICS Publishing Group,[27] which produces open access journals widely regarded as predatory, and has been accused of moving into "predatory meetings".[28] Bartneck said he was "reasonably certain that this is a money-making conference with little to no commitment to science," given the poor quality of the review process and the high cost of attendance.[24]

> "Who's Afraid of Peer Review?": In 2013 John Bohannon wrote in Science about a "sting operation" he conducted in which he submitted "a credible but mundane scientific paper, one with such grave errors that a competent peer reviewer should easily identify it as flawed and unpublishable", to 304 open-access publishers.[30] 157 journals accepted the paper. There have been some objections to the sting's methodology and about what conclusions can be drawn from it.[31][32]

> SCIgen program: a paper randomly generated by the SCIgen program was accepted without peer-review for presentation at the 2005 World Multiconference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (WMSCI). The conference announced the prank of having accepted the article as not peer reviewed, despite none of the three assigned peer-reviewers having submitted an opinion about its fidelity, veracity, or accuracy to its subject. The three MIT graduate students who wrote the hoax article said they were ignorant of the Sokal Affair until after submitting their article.

It's pretty incredible how years and years on, techies with an axe to grind continue to milk this story to get their "two minutes hate" on liberal arts.
Thanks for an honest answer. I'd be interested in seeing examples of what's gotten you banned, if you'd care to share. In my experience it's been for behavior and tone more often than not, but I know that can sometimes be a matter of perspective.

David | San Francisco, CA | https://www.senddavid.com | Full­time | Onsite

David is a San Francisco-­based software startup that combines technology and legal research to help customers resolve disputes with their cable, internet, or wireless service provider. The $200+ billion legal industry is still stuck in the 20th century: paper-based, error-prone and slow. With rates averaging $300 / hour, only 15% of Americans with serious legal problems even seek the help of a lawyer. For everyday issues like bogus cable bills, fewer than 1 in 1,000,000 of us seek justice, even though monopolists like Comcast rank in the 0th percentile for customer satisfaction. Class actions used to provide the necessary scale to combat certain widespread frauds, but over the past 5 years, the Supreme Court has allowed businesses to eliminate them.

The technical challenges are hard, ranging from automating the monitoring of corporate misconduct to crafting delightful user flows to building the leading database of outcomes in consumer disputes. In parallel with the software development, a team of Yale Law School alums conducts the deep research so that our users finally feel empowered, rather than intimidated, by the law.

We currently have a MVP (https://www.senddavid.com) and are looking for a Senior Engineer as a very early member of the team.

All operating systems suffer from similar random, minor, glitchy issues. I use all three extensively on a daily basis and while there are things I like about all three, there are also things I dislike about each of them.

Linux is generally a little worse. However, from my experience Windows and MacOS are approximately equally buggy in comparison to one another.

An example of an issue I have with my Macbook is that every single day I have to plug my network cable into it 2-4 times before it will recognize the connection.

"small performance increase"

FT can get 30% more mass to LEO. That is a pretty big performance increase, especially considering that it enables SpaceX to carry the maximum payload of v1.1 in expendable configuration and still land the FT rocket. Even if we assume that half of that performance boost came from the other improvements, 15% is a significant increase.
How do you feel about Yubikey-based keys? Asking for a friend...
Um, no. We are in fact running out of helium. There's only a certain mount and nobody not even natural processes is making anymore in any significant quantity. And what we do have is rapidly being released into the atmosphere and escaping into space.

And given that the nearest natural source of helium is Jupiter, that is a little concerning.
>If I can MITM your http connection, I can MITM your https connection.

No you can't, that's the whole point of public key encryption. Someone could give you every single byte, in order, from the entire two way negoatiation process, and you would still not be able to to MITM your way into the datastream unless you either reverse engineered both party's secret keys that are used to perform the {sender locks lock, send locked data, receiver counter locks, sends doubly locked data back, sender unlocks, send counter-locked-only data, receiver counter unlocks, receiver now has the original data} step. Unless you know BOTH keys that were used in the purely local locks, you can do exactly nothing at all despite seeing every single naked byte involved.

Can you MITM it if you already know the keys? Of course. But that is not an argument against HTTPS, of course. Can you guess or compute the keys if you don't have them? Given enough time, again: of course. Can known shortcomings in a known cypher make the job of computing keys easier? third time: of course. And that's why HTTPS lets you specify which "secure, today" cyphers to use, and which "no longer, or never secure" cyphers you will absolutely not accept. HTTPS with sha-1 was very secure years ago, for instance. Today it's a stupid choice if you want to remain secure, because its too easy to break.

HTTPS makes MITM "the least possible" by using a secure symmetric encryption for both parties to agree on which asymmetric encryption to use. And it lets parties agree on stronger and stronger cyphers as time goes on, so that the integrity of connections stays a moving target. MITM is a theoretical possibility, but unless you literally own a half-a-billion dollar supercomputer capable of factoring large primes in a reasonable amount of time, can you, personally? Plain and simple no.
I'm using Lenovo P50 for Linux development with duel boot to Windows. The trick to get duel boot right is to have two SSDs and install each OS on its own SSD. P50 supports two SSDs + 1 spinning drive. Besides this, its very likely only laptop with 64GB option and 4K display with descret NVidia GPU with 4GB memory so you can even do local deep learning!

If you think of it in these terms, that's about two years worth of rent. But as a renter, you have no chance at benefitting from future appreciation. If you think the housing market is going to be in decline from your move in time, then it might be a good idea to rent depending on your time horizon. Over the long term, it has proven to generally not be a good idea.

Web of Trust seems to be an inherently broken paradigm.

Think about this. Let's say I trust my friends (so when my friends sign John Doe is John Doe, it's really him). It's a big deal (not every friend is so security conscious, maybe he met this guy on facebook and looks so real), but would I trust someone because of a friends-friend's recommendation?

I know which friends are naive. But which friend's-friend's-friend is naive?

And those are the only web-of-trust connection I have with him? Can I trust him? Can I not? How do I tell?
