This is a symptom of Marshall McLuhan's networked world as "global village": "...the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket." -McLuhan

In a village, there are no secrets. Same online, basically. Anything digital can quickly spread everywhere, far beyond its intended context.

Pre-networking, information dissipated via voice and to an extent via print and the "telephone game" demonstrated how loss formed a natural barrier. Encryption is a temporary obstacle. It contains the secrets until a breach forms which instantly exposes them to the world. And not only is information flowing outward, but reactions are flowing back, see SWATing, doxxing, "leaks", and fake news.

I was initialized impressed, personally at the internet's ability to share information about human intimate relationships at a large scale. This helped mainstream-ize sexual practices, and I personally believe, catalyzed 4th-wave feminism. Lately I'm, personally, impressed at the internet's ability to forcibly interface people of different ages and classes. It sounds good on paper, like "diversity," right? And I think it will turn out well. But in the meantime, we've failed to respect the order created when human interactions and relationships were based in meatspace and incidently more uniform in their ages. Now we have 60-year-olds and 20-year-olds exchanging advice on how to live when they have totally different needs. There are some gains to be had, but also, much confusion to organize. Like Jessica Livingstone, I could say way more about this IRL, but can't share online. In a nutshell, the sudden explosion in age-differences and relationship information is also breaking down certain illusions of power, which were, strictly speaking, false, yet they held society together in a more stable way. Let's hope we have the gift of clarity and the strength to execute it so we don't re-experience feudalism.
The irony is that whilst the standards document was never ratified most people implemented it anyway. So actually, they are a standard. (-:

Yep, this is the big problem. There's simply no viable way to split into urban countries that hold and produce a vast majority of the wealth and the majority of the population, and have a massive swathe of the the most beautiful land in the US as a separate country or countries. It would make the most awkward-looking of maps. Although, on the other hand, splitting off into city-states is a pretty fun thought project. It'd impact the electoral playing field a bit more, as well as provide some interesting effects on congressional/senatorial representation. It'd also very likely deepen the rural-urban divide even further. But rural Californians might like being separate from its more populous city-state neighbors, and I know the city-state of Atlanta would just love to be free of its surrounding rural citizens. Cleveland would likely feel better about holding its own versus the rest of rural Ohio.

It's pretty interesting to contemplate what elections would look like if all states simply apportioned their electoral votes according to Maine/Nebraska rules, or a popular-proportion scheme, and disposed of the unit rules entirely.
This is why you should never trust proprietary secure messaging solutions that offer you both the client and the channel.

The future of trusted secure messaging will be open source, auditable, independent non-native clients that connect and send over third party message channels independently.

Am I only the one who finds "new" (well, it was there for about an year, I believe) "Site Identity and Permissions Panel" panel to be literally useless for the "site identity" part?

It has no information on CA, whenever it's first time you saw this exact certificate or not, whenever a "weak" or "strong" ciphers are used (and if PFS is enabled), etc - things one'd really want to see if they care about their connection encryption and authentication. It's all still available, but hidden after long sequence of button clicks. Heck, it would be useful to have client certificate and HTTP auth status there as well - it would actually make those nice things closer to being usable.

I really fail to understand why it can't be displayed in a sanely concise manner - and why things that were there before were removed. Surely there's a plenty of screen space and it's not like it would scare Joe Sixpack off to Chrome, or confuse anyone. Or analytics show it otherwise?
I hope everybody on HN is doing okay with this recent outage, I'm here if anybody wants to talk.

The token/word distinction is wrong. What the author calls a "token" is a "word" and what he calls a "word" is a "WORD". See :help word.

Ctrl+B and Ctrl+F are "PageUp and PageDown". Ctrl+U and Ctrl+D have no generic equivalent. There's also Ctrl+Y and Ctrl+E for scrolling line-by-line.

Same comment about "token" for *#.

Maybe explaining what a "find command" is wold help the reader understand what nN actually do.

Same comment about "token/word/WORD" for cwcW. (The mistake is repeated a lot so I won't repeat myself.)

c is "change", not "correct".

The description of cwcW is wrong. They unintuitevely work like ce and cE: change from the cursor to the end of the current word/WORD. See :help cw.

One solution to that problem is to run your own local git server, with an automatic process for pulling github repositories of the dependencies you need. Then you can always know that you will have the access to our dependencies even with a third party is unavailable.

Hi! My name is Matthew Rice. I'm a graduate from The Iron Yard's Front End Engineering program in Greenville, SC. I’m looking for a full-time, junior-level, Front End Developer position at a digital agency or marketing firm where collaborative teamwork, mentorship, hard work, mutual respect, and creativity are valued. My experience building responsive websites as well as my ability to bring design comps to life make me a valuable asset. Above all else, I am teachable. The most important thing I learned at The Iron Yard is the importance of being a persistent, lifelong learner.
Just to elaborate, because eukaryotic genomes are so huge the marginal cost of copying excess genes is negligible so the selective pressure against them is as well. But prokaryotes have very small genomes and reproducing useless genes would be relatively disadvantageous for them so there is noticeable selective pressure to eliminate useless genes for them. So you will see the frequency of unused genes in bacteria tend to decrease over time.

On shares that were worth significantly more than the strike price. I would "sell to cover" which meant exercising the vested shares, then in the same transaction selling enough of the shares to cover the tax impact and the cost of exercise. That results in no net money, but you end up holding owned shares at the basis price of the market price when you exercised. I then held the remaining shares for at least a year so that when I did sell them I could get long term capital gains treatment.

Shares that were not that highly valued relative to their strike price I did not exercise until I left, and assuming they weren't under water I did a same day exercise and sell to pay the tax and return what remained as cash which I put into by brokerage (long term) savings account.

If this becomes popular, then some future health and diet doctor is going to do a PBS special where he explains to the crowd that eating X causes knots in your molecules, but eating Y will straighten them out.

That doesn't mean much. They could still correlate and combine information with any anonymized (or rather, what they consider anonymized) personal info. The fact that they even mention that they have permanent logs is quite unsettling.

I would think they'd just dump the data from all of their services into your advertising profile. They won't store your name and such, but they have to have a way of linking this anonymous profile to your google account or something. I doubt that google simply deletes all advertising profile data if you just happen to clear your cookies.
Yes, that's right, for sure. You just need enough people talking about something in a scary enough way to then become apprehensive about it yourself. Once that happens it’s very easy not only to worry, but also to tie all minor negative events that could happen at any given time to the superstition.

I have my own issues and gripes with him, but I feel that Rand Paul was also one of the few who spoke sanity when it came to all these matters. In the only primary debate he actually participated in, when asked about interfering in Syria, his response was "we've done that how many times now - when has it worked out for us?" which, of course, the populist audience did not like.
When you take a big corpus of genomes and split them using impartial mathematics into similarity-clusters, you get clusters that almost perfectly match the continent-scale races that people self-report. That's not "arbitrary". Furthermore, people in these groups differ in characteristics that are measurable and important.

When I say that "race exists", I mean that there are real differences between the k={3,4,5} groupings and that almost always tell someone's group affinity by sight alone. The existence of marginal cases doesn't somehow invalidate the reality and utility of the high-level groups.

When people say "race doesn't exist", the general public reads that as "there are no differences on average between people from the various continents", and this claim is not only false, but it's so false that one doesn't need sophisticated instruments to tell.

I believe that this confusion is deliberate and is part of a misguided attempt to eliminate bigotry by delegitimizing the classification schemes upon which bigotry is built. This strategy is doomed, because you can't take away people's eyes and ears.
They could get rid of google-analytics on their site to make it even more anonymous.

Try with a domain that doesn't exist. The response time topped 10 seconds for me on the first one I tried.

For a handful that do exist it seems like they're almost exactly 10 times slower than Google. ~20ms (Google) vs ~200.

Have a local git server, with an automatic process for pulling in the repositories that are your dependencies. Then use the repos from that local git server instead of github directly.
I build games where the player is supposed to play for hours. Am I wrong thinking that file size matters less for me? It adds 1% to the loading screen.
The specific problem today is that I have changes on my home PC that I finished and pushed up to Github last night, but now I can't get them at work this morning, because my home PC is behind a firewall. Also, my IP address is not static, so there's no guarantee I'll even be able to find it to make it a remote.

Is any of those as easy to upgrade as Debian?

Because on servers, even the huge repository isn't that much of a gain. But running "apt-get upgrade" beats rebuilding a machine by orders of magnitude. Even more for rented VPS where I must either add an instance or get downtime.
It still baffles me why would someone use Google DNS over local ISPs and 8.8.8.8 being advertised anywhere make me cringe.
With all due respect: I don't have time. I just asked because this was an issue last time I tried sway, and I was curious about improvements since then. It was not meant to razz on your wm :)

As a maintainer and contributor to several projects I already use (and thus see the return on) I already see myself too short on resources to follow up everything I'd like to.

Trying to fix shortcomings in projects which (for me) are not yet production ready just doesn't make it onto my TODO list. I hope someone does help you fix this though.

Really. No harm meant. Hope it didn't come off that way.

I generally agree, but would suggest amending "permitting group identity-based 'discussion' to flourish." The issue IMO, is not the activity of the discussion, but the impoverished shortcut of identity as a classification. My apologies if this is what you intended. It came out to me as if the discussion were to be avoided, rather than the lens of identity.

All "identities" are crude prejudice. They're a pair of glasses we put on to try to perceive things a certain way. This is an artifact of "Motivated Reasoning." Anticipating someone's vote based on their melanin is harmful and self-defeating in the long run. As you say, we should discuss content, or "issues." Instead of negating everything e.g. YouKnowWho does, we need to debate each bill on its own merit.

>It's comparable to the task of reading the contents and activity of a CPU by attaching sensors to the surface - but without knowing the type of CPU, OS, what programs are running, what the user is doing etc.

but you could easily map the bulk EEG data of an individual person in different brain states. just have them go through a calibration routine where they are prompted "think about apples" and then you record what comes back. now, you know what it looks like when they're thinking about apples in an intentional way. it's a start.

there's still plenty of noise, but the signal is going to look the same every time, if you can find it. the other question is whether your detection apparatus is going to be able to tease out the difference between "thinking about apples" versus "thinking about oranges". at present, my guess is no, which speaks to your point.

i get the feeling these problems are going to be solved as time goes on...
Indeed. I was thinking they should have held it in Los Angeles, and had drinks beforehand. ;)
Maybe add some discounting statements? The whole article is sort of a discounting statement about what is about to be said, if she does say it. Something like, "I know you might think X, but X is not the case because Y". Head the objection off at the pass.

But will you still be happy if Nintendo bows out of the market altogether? It's no coincidence they are exploring mobile games. They aren't exactly killing it these days. If the Switch doesn't do well, I wouldn't be surprised to see Nintendo go completely 3rd party.

The reason I've been thinking about this, is that I'm not happy with diceware. Five words (64 bits of "guaranteed" entropy) is around 20 characters - and I'm not sure if diceware looses some entropy if you omit spaces (eg: "at hat" and "a that" both become "athat").

My main takeaway looking at the problem, is that 64 bits is a lot to encode in ~26 letters and maybe 10 digits - in a way that is easy to remember, easy to type, easy to read (if eg: given a printed initial password, read/hear (sharing over the phone/double as a way to read out a hash/shared key etc).

My main issue with diceware is the large number of words; almost touching on typical active vocabulary of even native speakers - never mind if your users speak little or no English. One benefit of the system above is that as long as you can come up with four/five sets of 128 words that don't collide among themselves in the groups of 128 - you can adapt the system to any alphabet and preserve any guarantees of entropy. Making a diceware wordlists is a huge undertaking by comparison. (But the benefit is that people have already done this for many languages).

react-redux is definitely super bloated right now. It's packed full with method overloads (that are super confusing if you read their definitions in the doc as opposed to looking at examples), and performance optimizations that involve looking at the function arguments, memorization, etc.

It's cool and needed to cover all of the cases and edge cases, but it's easy to see how, if you don't need that stuff, it can be reimplemented in a fraction of the code.
