This was my mistake! It's not too short. I search-and-replaced my h2 tags with h3, which broke the key. Oops.

I've fixed it now.
People who care about encryption are a rounding error too. I care about non-technologists managing to send asynchronous messages to each other that are not controlled by a centralized entity (especially not one based in a country who's interests are often adverse to my own). That's a solved problem that you seem to be trying very hard to unsolve.
Is it still closed source?
>The western powers have been doing most of the invading lately.

That's what you're replying to. Several former Warsaw Pact countries joined NATO. The West didn't invade them.

No, you see, if Russia wants something that other countries don't want, then that's ok.

But if other countries, especially smaller ones, want something, then to hell with them!
Back in the 1990s, NATO reconnaissance aircraft didn't stop flying over Russia, although Gorbachev and Yeltsin were quite friendly to the US. Post-2000 Putin's Russia is a result of the West's decline to treat it with respect. The arms race was started again and additionally fueled by the expansion of NATO in Eastern Europe.
It's literally this simple. Integration has been a disaster to the extent that soldiers now patrol within the borders of France and Belgium.

The great opportunity-cost of integrating populations and monitoring them when it fails has clearly become too expensive and people are saying "enough".

Oddly, the EU doesn't seem to acknowledge the sentiment of the public and just keep hammering on about 'ever closer union'. Clarity from mainstream Parties on this issue alone would shrink the poll numbers of the Far-Right.
Why are Yubikeys so expensive? I have one and use them but the price always gets in the way of having more.
NSA, of course.

But NSA - I really hope - doesn't sell your data for profit to insurance and medical companies, so there's a difference. If NSA picks up something serious about you, you're in deep trouble, but the current data sniffer companies can make your life really hard without you even realizing it.
There's a lot more evidence in the government brief, which was linked in the article.

So Trump spends a year giving Putin all the reason in the world to believe that he can destabilize the Baltics without worrying about war with the US, and we're supposed to trust that Russia will believe our current posturing instead?

> No, I fully understand the problem. If Google Mail vanished tomorrow, a pretty large number of people would probably stop emailing altogether. The number of people for whom that's true increases every year.

I highly doubt that's true. Email is pretty essential to the functionality of the internet, from signing up accounts to getting notifications, to just plain discussions with professionals. It's pretty much the only thing that does what it does.

To use non-nerd examples people in my life have done recently via email: contacting the school registrar's office, updating insurance information, discussing minor problems with a recent surgery with their doctor. Especially for people with anxiety issues who have problems on the phone, email is a life saver.

I lived off email when buying a house through a builder last year. Everyone went through email and nothing else was even offered in many cases. The builder, bankers, lawyers, electricians, everything was email.
Besides the security issues that other people will talk about, it's huge in terms of both RAM usage and storage, so if you have a low-end phone, that's quite significant. It can also be a major battery consumer.
Highly doubtful on both points. As for open up political system

- Xi Jinping is consolidating his power to be the dictator of China. He is removing rivals using routing out corruption as excuse (and not targeting his own supporters)

- China's economy is crashing. It's approaching 300% debt ratio in combined corporate + government + individual. Its gross reserve is down to less than 3T (IMF believes China needs at least 2.7T to operate). Its net reserve (gross - debt) is down to 1.7T. It had a capital outflow of 700B in 2016. Yuan fell the most in 2016, since 1994. It is now trying to close up the internal system via capital control, rights restrictions, censorship, etc

They declared war and did nothing (hence names like Sitzkrieg or Phoney War). Since Polish defense strategy was based on assumption that UK and France will fulfill their obligations it was a much easier win for Germany than it could've been otherwise. I'm suprised it's not talked about more outside Poland, but this betrayal cost millions of lives.
So I save 4 hours out of a 10ish hour door to door trip for me. Nice, sure. But hardly a dramatic quality of life improvement.

I'm assuming you're referring to something like this: https://egtheory.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/ipd/

I think we shouldn't confuse efficient strategies with the chosen strategies. What causes Moloch is the inability to see the big picture, to see outside of the self in the collective (maybe Buddhism has a point).

An efficient strategy may very well be something we'd prefer, such as tit-for-tat. But is that the strategy we choose? Looking at the long history of evolution, I'd say no.
> As has been told, they're the first recording format that was replaced by one with inferior sound.

What about records largely getting replaced by 8-tracks and cassette tapes?

In the long-run streaming services will move towards higher fidelity audio as bandwidth costs decline on both sides. Tidal already offers the option. I also suspect the vast majority of listeners can't even tell the difference between 320 Spotify, 256 Apple, and lossless Tidal, let alone care enough about the differences to switch services.

Some are just plain better, as you state.

Even if they were each best at something, diversity comes at a very high cost. Every additional design of MBT means an additional supply chain for parts and ammunition. Additional personnel are needed for every line of MBT.

Since you have a different logistics line for each tank, they can't support each other on the battlefield without bringing their whole logistics with them.
Those prices for car are heavily subsidized and don't account for all costs. Gas, highways, cost of car and maintnence....

What I don't get is why someone would bother with complex numbers and their silly notation when linear algebra would work perfectly fine. I know that in certain contexts they are useful. E.g. to avoid losing information when solving polynomials. But that's a minuscule fraction of their range of application. Nearly every practical use I've seen of complex numbers just use them as a vector representation.
>> who they were connecting with.

This is why you don't need blanket surveillance on your entire population. Many old hat NSA guys have stated repeatedly that its the connections that matter. With terrorists, you have to monitor the connections to foreign countries that sponsor terrorism, have active terror cells in them and are hostile to the US. Then again, maybe they really don't want to know the people plotting against us are some of our own supposed "allies"?

Had they done that, they could have easily predicted and probably prevented nearly every terrorist attack, including the 9/11 attacks. Blanket surveillance actually allows for more cover for terrorists and the ability to hide through obscurity.
I've been running my email server for a decade without serious glitches. Setting up my own federated XMPP instance is much more problematic and people are already complaining about how hard email is.

I'd love to see an up-to-date tutorial that opposes my statement, eg. setting up prosody (or something lightweight) on debian (or similar) with multiple domains for multiple accounts, sending and receiving test messages from another XMPP hub, so if you know one, please link it.
Wouldn't that make it 3FA? I'd need my password, my physical key and my fingerprints?
That's exactly the point. Take a step back and think about what you just said. It's true: most people don't care about crypto. But here's are two other true statements:

* In modern messaging protocols, they don't have to care about encryption. The protocols are designed to reliably encrypt messages without user intervention, and security isn't "opt-in".

* The people who most need encryption are not the ones who are most aware of the need. In fact, the Venn diagram of "need" and "want" for crypto has very little overlap.
The more this topic comes up, the more I start to wonder if the "difficulty" in email encryption is actually people just being lazy.

We have IM and texting apps like Signal. You install, and if your friends install then you're secure. Most people skip verifying fingerprints, not doing IRL face to face verification. Yes the install process is simple and requires no real work to start encrypting things, but that still doesn't make the process secure. If anything, having these types of security models where you aren't forced to verify the other end continues to breed this lazy mentality. Security is hard and requires all end users to actually put time and thought into what they are doing. We can always make a better mouse trap when it comes to security but that will not change people's minds on how they interact with security when online.
Thank you :-)

I think that the 68k will be more fun to write OS and other software for as it is 32-bit, has memory protection, and can run UNIX :-)
It's an honour based system. There are companies that'll activate SMS on any number. They verify your access to a number, then they have a contract that lets them assert they are allowed to do SMS for you. The owner of the number (the carrier) has to agree to this system so it's not available for every possible number.
It's only a pain if you're still trying to use PGP. You can download Inky (http://inky.com) for any platform and use any email account to exchange S/MIME-encrypted email simply by checking a button. We're focused on large enterprises now (because we've found consumers and small business don't care about encrypting their email, or think TLS=encryption) but there's nothing stopping individuals from trying it out. It makes e2e encryption of email using any email account basically invisible. You can send encrypted mail to non-Inky users as well.
Yes, still closed source.
> 2. Simplify sentences. Cut adjectives. Shorten. It reads academic.

You bring up some valid issues, but I think you're missing the point of the guide: To be friendly. It has a few parts that could use some editing but overall it feels friendly and interactive. Some of the changes you suggest make it seem cold and boring, which (to me at least) would be a reason to put it down and never pick it back up.
It looks neat, can someone share personal experience or recommendations? Is this worth it? Is there a better alternative?
> the key retention is the biggest issue. You need to keep your key around for a long time, probably storing copies of it.

As I get it, this one is a fundamental issue, not specific to messaging at all, but is just a secure storage problem.

You either keep a copy of the message (and need some key to decrypt it, unless you keep it unencrypted), or you throw it away. No amount of engineering can solve this.
I'm not advocating plaintext email. I'm advocating for no email. But since it'll be 10-15 years before email takes its place alongside ICQ among protocols normal people never use, in the meantime, the right solution is to keep email banal, and keep sensitive stuff on secure messaging protocols.

Years ago, working at a friend's security company everyone used Apple Mail with GPG. That is the only time anyone insisted on using encrypted email.

Fast forward to the present: I support and like ProtonMail, but I can't talk anyone else into using it. I don't understand why more small companies, wanting to protect their intellectual property, don't use ProtonMail (or something like it).

Slashdot manages a balance of it. Why can't HN do the same?

While there may be similarities and overlap, Slashdot and HN are different communities and have different expectations and community standards. I don't think it's a matter of HN not managing the balance Slashdot has: it's more that HN's sense of where that balance should be is different. I'm sure there are plenty of members who frequent both sites, just as you do, and are aware and accepting of the differences.
Google's embrace-extend-extinguish destroyed XMPP. They made their chat system XMPP compatible for a short time which caused many people to swap to their solution. When they ended support, most users simply stopped using XMPP.

"EU investigation says Tbilisi launched indiscriminate assault on South Ossetia..with a massive artillery attack"

The damage to the main spillway was "first reported" on 6 February [1] (although it could have existed for longer and gone unnoticed). They had to leave the spillway in use because of the amount of inflow, but on Friday they reduced the spillway outflow to avoid damaging electric pylons [2].

They also had to halt outflow via the main hydroelectric discharge.

On Saturday, the emergency spillway started being used for the first time in the dam's history. The operators thought this might happen, but didn't see it as a risk.

The evacuation order was given when they saw the amount of erosion caused by the outflow from the emergency spillway, fearing that if it carried on, the emergency spillway could collapse. As a result, they've since fully-opened the main spillway (100,000 cfs, rather than their previously reduced limit of 55,000 cfs), accelerating the damage to the main spillway.

So the damage to the main spillway existed at least a week ago. The emergency spillway was seemingly undamaged, but once put it into use, caused damage showing it wasn't really fit for purpose. And in trying to save the emergency spillway, the main spillway is now sustaining further damage.

They're used as second factor authentication, not on their own and are generally linked to a TOTP/HOTP mechanism.

I agree. Sure, PGP is somewhat outdated but it is still solid as long as keys aren't compromised.
There is a good argument for new form of communication that is encrypted by default, but email has such a huge headstart that I'm not sure that's practical.

WhatsApp on the other hand is a proprietary platform restrained by commercial interests, closed source, and lack of verifiability as well as opaque key management.

Georgia has not had control over South Ossetia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. While it's still part of Georgia under international law it's never been under the control of the modern Georgian state.

There's a fine line between being friendly and starting to babble.
All the communities I know that are centered around diff-in-email patch review are quite frustrated by the available GUI tools (most of them are only good for one patch at a time, or treat an entire stack of patches as one change).

I think you are completely missing the point here. The HPC world is mostly concerned with the speed at which you get results, safety means almost nothing in this domain. What people typically do is to test their code against known input/output and check the relative error.

It is easier to debug and improve a fast program when you can have some result in 1 day versus same algorithm implemented in a slower language that takes one week.
