Europe is not disintegrating. Europe is just geography.

The European Union might be disintegrating. Why it might be disintegrating is then a more complex thing.

But mostly it's not because of Trump or because of populists or because of Russian influence. It's because those who are building a federal state, United States of Europe, are far too impatient and try to rush it. We are witnessing a backlash. I am myself contributing to a backlash, because EU is doing things it shouldn't.

Yes, I definitely don't want to be in a Russian sphere of influence, but EU isn't acting credibly here. And the White House has little to contribute to current development. It's done by the EU itself by trying to legislate member countries over things I and many others don't want to be legislated at.

Starting from things like whether we are allowed to control who comes to our country and lives here. Or to prepare for and resist to Russian attempts to take over.

EU leaders (Juncker, Schulz and many others) act as if they had an empire, before they actually built it.
Disclaimer: Russia is an authoritarian country and not a shining example of freedom.

That being said....

If you were Russian and you'd spent the last century watching the West undercut you and try and control you at every step (for valid reasons in a lot of cases), you'd be threatened, too.

They went from being a superpower to having 100 million more people than California with the same GDP, while watching their own neighboring states get courted by the West.

Russia isn't justified in what they've done, but put yourself in their shoes. Of course it doesn't help that history has been exceedingly cruel to the Russian people, but it's given them a lot of pride and being dictated to by the US has upset that pride.

If the Russians believed that he US genuinely had their best interests in mind, things might be different.
There is still very much a set of users in the incident response community that relies on PGP. These are professional teams that need to communicate with each other. They talk about upcoming disclosures, current abuse, upcoming operations or patches, et cetera.

This stuff is almost all short to mid-term secret. Most of this will become public in a month or so. Leaking meta-data is an assumed risk (or too much hassle to avoid, take your pick).

How so? I'm a backend developer who's about to start build client part of my project and ts looks like something that you can actually use without being disgusted by it.

PS: Yes, I hate javascript, so before I was introduced to ts I couldn't even think about building client part myself.
Yeah, I was thinking about that. Given overpopulation is still a problem there, and given their surfeit of home-grown tech grads, recruiting young talent may not be much of a priority. Still, I think it has to be eventually if they want to be considered world leaders.
This sounds similar to the reason why the Glasgow Subway runs on a 4' (1219mm) gauge: to stop it from being taken over by the numerous (at the time privately owned) railways around the city which were all standard gauge.
If the U.S. military reach and capability were 1/10 of what it is, I think we should expect destabilization to have come from other actors in the last 65 years.
Everyone owns digital transformation: Collaborate to accelerate success
I doubt that the EU is falling apart, but if it ever does, then certainly more because of perceived issues rather than real ones. Although it was created democratically and by countless unanimous votes of its member states, the EU has always been an easy scapegoat for national politicians who did not do their own job right. In the UK, they quite obviously got the revenge for this behavior. (Remember, most MPs were and probably still are against the Brexit, and for good reasons, of course.)

The good news is that the vast majority of national politicians know fairly well how they abused the EU rhetorically and that their own countries would be crushed by global economic pressures if they left the EU. The UK and Germany are quite possibly the only countries who may be able to afford to leave the EU without major harm, and most smaller countries are aware of that.

But I agree that the perils of cheap populism and nationalism ought not be underestimated, and let's not forget that weakening Europe is in the current interest of Russia, the US in the eyes of the current Trump administration, and maybe even China. Anti-EU forces are strong, no doubt about that.

In the end, the current state of discussion is rather saddening anyway. The EU was primarily funded as a way to prevent Europe from being destroyed by inner conflicts again, which makes some sense after two devastating world wars that left Europe in ruins and killed millions of citizens. It's sad that this is sometimes forgotten and only emphasized by older politicians.
The spillway is damaged and eroding as water flows through it. As it erodes it opens up such that more water can flow, accelerating the erosion to the point where the entire hillside erodes away and the dam essentially fails.

Intersting thought...since this appears to be the law of the land, and the border is controlled by the Executive Branch, what happens if somebody who works in one of the other two branches is stopped? It seems they would have a good claim that it's unconstitutional given the Separation of Powers that the constitution provides.

I would think that once a lawyer frames the possibility of this in front of a judge, that the law will be stricken down.
NATO is held together with the unquestioning belief that all countries will strike together if one of them is hit. If there is some reasonable doubt as to whether it will happen or not, will the US really go to war with Russia over Latvia, which I doubt most of Trumps voters can find on a map?

Well what if Putin thinks no, goes in and Trump then says yes?

Having tried to write Java in vim for a few one-off tasks, it's been extremely painful. From what I've seen, most Java code is selected from a menu, rather than actually typed. So I can see the appeal of having that in vim if you're forced to write Java, but at the same time the whole "use vim as an ide" meme has been nudging me away from vim for a while now.
I can't believe I've missed this. The quality of my search results at google has been steadily going downhill, and I'm often left with a thought along the lines of, "But if you just searched for only the words I used..."

2a/ ok, I misread what was the intention, maybe it's a good idea then

3/ it's not about "better maintained", it's about trusting the internet on sensitive data, which you should never do, because dns is easily spoofed and nginx resolver was not written to operate in a hostile environment. if you don't have a local caching resolver on your machine (which you should), even trusting your cloud provider dns is better than trusting goog one. nginx documentation even says " To prevent DNS spoofing, it is recommended configuring DNS servers in a properly secured trusted local network. " on http://nginx.org/r/resolver
The author probably exaggerates, but identifies a very valid point. You really don't want to have this kind of confusion about something that you are planning to trust your secrets to.

Livestream – Oroville Dam Spillway
HTTPS is easy because it only provides encryption in transit. It is analogous to opportunistic encryption of SMTP, which is already in widespread use.

Another reason HTTPS is easy is that it uses a centralized trust model, relying on CAs to vet each website.

GPG is neither. It tries to provide encryption at rest, and relies on a web of trust that we cannot reasonably expect everyone to operate securely.
Down for me, but the main springboard page is up.
WhatsApp has over a billion users. There are big places where its market share exceeds that of SMS --- another big centralized service that has a userbase comparable to that of email. My conclusion is that the people who care about "decentralized" systems are a rounding error. I care about non-technologists managing to send asynchronous messages to each other that are well-encrypted by default. That's a solved problem.

Yes! Thank you.

Email is not and will never be secure. Sorry people but it just fucking sucks when it comes to encryption.

We have many other great communication protocols that were designed from the ground up to be secure as they can be.

> This is more or less what's happened in eastern Ukraine

Here's what objectively happened:

"Encircling Russia has never been just a neocon thing. The policy has bi-partisan and trans-Atlantic support, including the backing of America’s old-school nationalists, Cold War liberals, Hillary hawks, and much of Obama’s national security team."

Also, Soros on CNN in 2014:

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1405/25/fzgps.01.html

"ZAKARIA: First on Ukraine, one of the things that many people recognized about you was that you during the revolutions of 1989 funded a lot of dissident activities, civil society groups in eastern Europe and Poland, the Czech Republic. Are you doing similar things in Ukraine?

SOROS: Well, I set up a foundation in Ukraine before Ukraine became independent of Russia. And the foundation has been functioning ever since and played an important part in events now."

It's already past, but at some moment the foreign organizers of the "colored" revolutions gladly took credit for their activity.
Sure, in this particular file every year in the interval is listed, but in a large codebase that's not always the case. Always listing every year keeps things simple, consistent, avoids complications around extra statement and clauses, and makes auto-generating headers easier.

>But as for everything being fine and dandy, when you get to the point that you've got sub-polities not only seriously talking about secession, but actually doing it, no, that polity is not in good health.

I'd say that any "polity" mature enough to allow member states to leave and not force them to remain is actually in excellent health.
> Encrypted email is pretty much over in 2017.

One could make the argument that encrypted email was never a thing outside a tiny, miniscule, group of folks.

Is it possible those same people probably bought more scrutiny than others simply because they used encryption?
Metaprogramação em Ruby
For what it's worth, I used to use encrypted mail some time ago as much as possible, before realising it was fundamentally flawed:

— the key retention is the biggest issue. You need to keep your key around for a long time, probably storing copies of it. This increases the probability of a leak.

— there is no method to revoke a key with a 100% assurance that nobody will use or trust it afterwards.

— if a key is broken or leaked, every encrypted message you ever received can be deciphered. And I hope you realise it, or future messages are also at risk.

Those are the three major flaws I can remember right now. The way people usually use it make them feel safe while they are not necessarily. It's a bit like reusing a complex password on different websites (although far less critical since the key is assymetric).

The way I use it now (and I never actually needed it, to be fair), is that if some third party want to send me some confidential information, they request my public key via an open channel, and I then generate a key, unique for this conversation (ideally, it would be done on a per-email basis).
Of course, the complex part here is ensuring they receive the proper key (ie, no man in the middle). This can be done by using a side (preferably secure) channel.

Of course, in today's world, encrypted emails are not the best way to communicate privately, in my opinion, but that's another story.

And there are a couple of other issues regarding encrypted emails such as its adoption, it's complexity, etc. But none as fundamental.
> If the EU, designed to be the counterbalance to the United States

That was never the reason for the foundation of the EU. If that's the level of your understanding of European politics, I can't take you seriously anymore.

If the EU fails, which I doubt, Trump would have played a minuscule role, exacerbating existing tensions. I actually expect quite the opposite from a Trump presidency, though unintended by him.
What happened in Crimea? What about a referendum? How is it worse than US annexation of Hawai? As a matter of fact, Crimea was part of Russia since it was taken from Crimean Khanate in the 18th century.

I also think even if Putin may be not ideal leader, he handled the situation in the best interests of his country. I also think the fact, that he is an autocratic leader should not be discriminated against. I think Democracy is not for everybody (as US found out in Iraq and Afganistan) and people in Russia still support him, allthough I think Alexei Navalny would a better Candidate.
I am reconsidering due to the invasive and discriminatory border control I fear I might be subjected to on entry. This started before Trump, but seems to be getting worse with the current administration.
The naming confusion is legitimate (PGP, GPG, openPGP) but it literally takes one Google query "PGP GPG" to answer that question in 30 seconds.

In 99, webmail providers were nearly all using squirrelmail or some self-invented thing and people were using offline mail clients, where GPG/PGG could have been an option. The terminals were behind, cloud computing ahead, and everyone knew your stuff is gone if your are careless and reinstall your computer, since POP3 was still a common thing. (Unlike IMAP, POP is usually used in a mode where no copies are left on the server, so the mails only exist where you pulled them down to.)

The big difference, however, that the world wasn't yet spying on every drop of text you made, and that is why email encryption didn't take off: there was no real need.

Unfortunately, the cloud and web "revolution" happened before people realized they should encrypt _before_ moving back to centralized services and now it seems to be a lost cause.

Perhaps. And surely any country would ponder whether it would be willing to send thousands of young people to their deaths for any cause, regardless of what agreements were signed.

But the point is these things aren't supposed to be discussed in public by the parties that need to demonstrate resolve.
Where by "email encryption" we mean "mail people a link to a service they can register with and then upload messages and file to, so that SMTP is used only to relay links to messages, not the messages themselves, and email is encrypted by dint of TLS connections".

That's what most F-500 companies do to solve this problem. It's a more viable approach than direct encryption of PGP.

Normal people --- and eventually the F-500's, too --- just use WhatsApp.
Yep. And also, about Krimea, there is this game of musical chairs: once the music stop everyone gets its chair but one. Some seem to consider that after WWII and Yalta, no border should ever change anymore. That's not fair, not natural, and too rigid. If no borders are ever modifed, will the Kurds never have their own country as maybe they ought to?

To me border moves are always painful, dangerous, need to be done carefully, etc. but not allowing them at all is worse: the pain and danger accumulates and after a while, we get earthquakes sized changes.

The article on Kristal says "oldest living man". Looks like the grandparent misread this as "oldest living person". He's "only" #19 on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_living_people, by the way.
Making users assume that emails are in _any way_ verified is dangerous because it is far too low of a bar to provide any practical security for PGP keys. Not to mention that PGP keys can be used outside the context of email (so the email could be empty or otherwise incorrect).
But gcc is not.
BRAND new gTLDs: answers from “Nomulus”
That's a good and important question. I think the solution depends on your application requirements. If all you need to do is get the updated current state in the browser then it's enough if the browser resubscribes after each connect. It would then get pushed the new current state and can display it. If you are not only interested in a current state but all state transitions (or events that describe them) then it gets harder, since you would need to store all the events somewhere on server side, and only remove them once a browser has acknowledged that they have been consumed. In such a model the difference to fetching the events via HTTP would probably not be too big.
This article is a good overview on the why of data science and statistical-based decision marking, but doesn't discuss much of the how and the various warnings that occur during the process (i.e. data gathering/fidelity issues which invalidate models)

The article is marketing for a data science bootcamp which likely answers those questions. There has been a lot of discussion on HN about the merits of bootcamps for developers, but not much about the merits of bootcamp for statisticians, or even the entire hiring workflow in that field.

I've been looking into Data Analyst/Science jobs at companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and almost every position wants a Masters/PhD, either explicitly stated as a requirement or implied. If there is a high demand/low supply of data science jobs out there, I'm unsure how a data science boot camp/tutorial would be able to compete.

This is all true, but IM is not email.

What I want out of email that IM does not (generally) deliver:
1) UI optimized for longer form messages.
2) Decentralized system where you can send to anyone if you know their address, which may be long-lasting and not tied to the fortunes of a single private company.

I don't demand compatibility or interoperability with SMTP, but I also don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. It looks like an an email application layer is buildable on top of Matrix, so that's something I'm following and looking forward to.

No. I don't know if it's a generational thing, but people on message boards today seem pretty convinced that Snowden invented concern over dragnet encryption. Get a copy of Applied Cryptography and thumb through it; it's shot through with the mindset that NSA (specifically: NSA) is reading all your mail. The 1990s were the decade of the cipherpunks, the Clipper Chip, the crypto wars, Echelon, and the hacker crackdown. More people encrypted their email then than do now.
