Paging HN user and product vendor: lisper
I'm not that directly involved in Thrill, so I can't really speak with authority. There aren't any concrete plans on fault tolerance but it would certainly be an interesting topic to work on, partially because the existing solutions seem quite inefficient.
> And you see, that's part of the problem. Stuff should not be designed to be easier to developer or maintain. That can be a beneficial by-product provided all other customer requirements are met. But if they are not, then it does not matter how hard or simple it is for programmers to hammer code. That's their job. The whole purpose of technology is to support the end state - in this case, a seamless and smooth user experience.

Sadly that horse is long gone. After the XFree86 fork Xorg decided to split the X11 code into 1001 sub-projects. Yes, it had some benefits, like being able to add/replace drivers without compiling the whole of X11.

But one benefit from the XFree86 "monolith" was that one could do configure and compile dance once, and get a working X11. Now i have to find just the right piece of everything to get it compiled. And if i complain about it i am likely to be told that i should not compile it myself but use one of the major precompiled distros.

Never mind that with the move to DRI/DRM if there is too large a mismatch between kernel and X11 driver the kernel panics.

Frankly the whole Wayland vs X11 thing is a distraction. The real problem is that the DEs, Gnome in particular, has gotten too much say in what happens to the lower layers. And all in the name of eyecandy and "UX".

Build something stable and they will come. Polish a turd and they will smell the stink and stay far far away.
Yes :-)

Five PCBs cost me $250, but they can be made cheaper. Otherwise the price depends a lot on the components. Ceramic ones are very expensive and the whole computer would probably end up at around $300 - $400. For plastic components, the price would be more close to $200.
Think you're just talking to an AI?

If it's sufficient to authenticate a particular machine, not necessarily a particular user, leaving it plugged in is acceptable and convenient.
You can avoid the bulk of the irritations you mentioned by using a static website generator and hosting content on a shared host. I host a few static websites on nearlyfreespeech.net that get maybe ~5-10k visitors per month in total. NFS.net is usage-based, and static sites are very cheap. My total bill for 2016 was 82 cents.

On top of being dirt cheap, I don't need to worry about maintaining the server or platform.
Coke zero is actually quite nice.
Replace? That's a strong word but it has more or less deprecated paper mail. Everything from insurance cards to my recent W2s are delivered electronically via e-mail now. I recently bought a car and all the paperwork was completed online. The bank uses electronic signatures for everything. The amount of first class mail delivered by USPS has halved over the last decade. Is paper mail dead? No. Is it on it's deathbed? Probably.
Supply of housing on land is infinite. The building of affordable housing has simply been outlawed.

You're welcome :-)
When connecting between different tube lines, much of the time users remain inside the ticketed area of the station, so only tap their Oyster/contactless card when they pass through the entrance/exit barriers at the very start and end of the journey. (Though there are a few stations where there is not a direct tunnel between lines, and travellers are required to connect via a separate street-level entrance, where they would tap their card mid-journey.)

In cases where there are multiple routes to complete a trip (eg remaining on one line vs making multiple connections for a faster journey) it was therefore previously not possible to determine what percentage of people chose which route.
I did not come across that quote anywhere in the link. And everyone here seems to take it ... oddly.

My interpretation of the quote is not literal. Instead as machines take over greater and greater portions of our day to day tasks, we will need to utilize them better and more significantly. They have incredible power and capability in performing tasks of more complex, large-scale, or annoying nature, and the tighter we merge with them, the more useful they will be to us, and the more relevant we will be to them.

And I believe he is right. Put it this way, there are a million tasks for humanity to do in the world. Yet, we can only find the time, resource, manpower to do 10% of them. How can we allow for more people to do more of those million things? By automating the mundane.

What do we automate first? The stuff that is unhealthy, then the stuff that is a tax on the ecology of the planet, then the stuff that is too boring to do.

So what does humanity focus on then? Health, Elderly care, Animal protection, community development, child development, recreation, religion. Maybe the economics of these industries have not fully developed yet. But when they do, that is what we can focus on.

I hate this gloom & doom talk about when AI will take over. Have we lost all imagination about what greater things there is left to do?
Due to climate change air travel will have to be drastically reduced (or we get problems that make California transport irrelevant).
A bold statement like that without a source just screams bullshit.
On Android, the Google Authenticator app handles U2F via NFC. Sadly not possible on iOS.
- Naming Ed25519 is not obvious: I do provide SHA-512 as an option.

- I'll consider crypto_chacha20_stream

- I'll stick with "crypto_", for 2 reason. First, you only need one crypto library. Second, a brutal search & replace will let you use another namespace in 30 seconds. Maybe I should provide a script to do that?
Typo in title. Should read "How to build mobile apps in JSON." And drop the "Yes, JSON" bit.
Why would it matter if mercurial has python 3.x support? For writing hooks and extensions?

The mercurial team prioritized end-user features, like evolve, over moving to Python 3, which would only affect a very small number of mercurial users (mostly devs).

I've personally moved to Python 3 for most development and not once have I encountered a case where I couldn't do something in mercurial that would have been possible if the core code was on python 3.

>Elon Musk is a little arrogant due to his success in business and likes to make 'fun' predictions based on his very limited understanding of whatever field he happens to be talking about. He sounds like an eager undergrad student that tries to demonstrate his genius to his professors and the class. I don't understand how anyone can take him seriously in technical fields.

This is a fair assessment, but I wonder if not being constricted by cynicism is more of a pro than a con in the long run.
It's very easy to setup on linux, but does require a fair bit of setup to get it to work with windows. I haven't set it up on OS X but I expect it to be about as easy as linux.

I've been SSH w/ yubikey key only for about 6 months now and haven't had any issues with it. I regularly move between multiple computers. Once I set it up on one computer I've never had it take more than 15 minutes to get up and running on any computer I've need it on (window or linux).

The only thing I'm really missing is the ability to log into my server from my phone. There was some talk of getting ConnectBot and Open-Keychain talking to each other to get this working but it appears to be stalled.
Aye, you may have commented before I edited and added the line at the bottom but I recently started running a small-site with Jekyll and Github Pages.

There's an excellent change it may become my default platform.
I hadn't heard about this until now. And in my case, I'll be disabling Disqus on the site I use it on. We don't have enough activity to justify a $10/month charge, and I am not at all fond of their ad system. I totally understand the reasoning, it just doesn't work well for us.
Thank you, I seem to recall trying gpg-agent but I'm not sure I went anywhere with it. Will try again.
I think you're being unfair right now. As if our shitty 2-person system boils merely down to racist/non-racist.

There are ~350 million people here, with completely diverse views. Normal daily life here will be fine for you, as most people are hospitable overall. Especially in technological hotspots like California or Chicago.
Very awesome, look forward to digging in. As a digital marketer primarily, I've self-taught myself enough to be fairly proficient at HTML and CSS.

The thorn in my side has always been javascript, which I've started and stopped many times. Look forward to seeing your lessons on javascript!

You could argue Reddit is the natural evolution of Digg, the latter having destroyed itself. But Reddit has matured more or less through expansion and at this point has seen its own splinter groups formed via Voat and others.

At this point in time, an "improvement" to Reddit might be something that makes Reddit obsolete all together, perhaps by making the upvote/downvote system seem old and archaic in comparison to something that provides similar, but more robust content promotion.
>How do you get+trust the other's key?

Snail mail + several other out of band methods. Or you can exchange a one time pad, physically.
As comment sections become increasingly toxic it seems discus won't be here for long.

They seem to be an ok company, but their business model is a sinking ship
There are federated options for messengers, the fact that the current darlings aren't is not a mark against the option itself. Riot exists.

Can you find a security expert RECOMMENDING email? That would be a better example of how it's not a consensus, like you claim.
> The only thing that is dangerous is removing that doubt - which really can only be done via a clumsy statement from one party bound by it. So long as it's guessing about the status of Article V in a Baltic crisis it's fine. All a US administration has to do is keep everyone guessing.

Trump says keeping everyone guessing is his core policy so maybe you guys see more eye-to-eye than you think.
Can't answer the source of the stat, but where they're getting contacted - FB messenger or Twitter, for starters.

I've done most of my non-B2B communication with businesses over the last year or so via FB messenger, Twitter or phone.
Do you know if it will work with a 5X running Copperhead OS (no gapps)? Ie. is the apk available?
Unless I'm misunderstanding, this isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for expandable storage - the ability to add GB/TB by adding disks. Replication is important, yes, but if I can't grow the volume, I'll just plain cry.
No, he's right. The freedom of movement is instrumental in educating people about the other countries, and realizing that they are also normal people, not some evil zombies.

Of course it can only help with preventing incidents between member states and other cooperating actors.
My city attempted a large tax on sugary beverages only, but they ended up compromising with the opponents of the bill and implemented half the beverage tax on diet as well as sugary drinks. It seems like once the regulation for soft drinks is on the table, it's only a matter of time before diet sodas are included
But those are investments, not really "spending." Mars doesn't really have a direct financial payback (although any payback would be helpful in making it possible). And Musk seems to say that's what he plans on using his money for.

Also, the LEO cargo launch tech (which SpaceX is being paid for, by the way) is being leveraged for Mars using the Red Dragon concept, which is using a Falcon Heavy to launch a Dragon to the surface of Mars. Red Dragon itself is being paid for by SpaceX without government funding to SpaceX. (although NASA /is/ providing valuable free assistance to help make the mission a success--including data relay and EDL expertise--in exchange for SpaceX providing EDL data to NASA. This will end up saving NASA a lot of money, since NASA will not need a dedicated supersonic retropropulsion EDL tech demo to prepare for human-class landers).
> Due to their invasive nature and the difficulty of security, I doubt neural implants will ever be a thing outside of curing disabilities. That being said, if we combined data from extremely sensitive EEG style headwear with gesture and expression analysis we could probably make something nearly as useful.

I don't agree that neural implants would necessarily remain disfavored due to the invasive nature. I (and probably many others here) would get one in a heartbeat.

On the security issue and your fix: I read an interesting blog post on the anime "Ghost in the Shell". We see the characters using cybernetic hand replacments with 30 micro-fingers, and a keyboard that supports an unlimited degree of chording.

http://i.imgur.com/tthpnHa.gif

With a standard keyboard, this works out to roughly 2.7 trillion possible key combinations, assuming you can type 24 times per second this works out to a data rate of 6.59e13 bits per second. This is an absurd amount of data, more than a human could ever comprehend without a cybernetically-enhanced brain (in which case - why use a computer?). It's vastly larger than you would need even to represent whole words or concepts as individual glyphs as in Kanji.

Instead, the author posits that this is in fact a digital representation of the (~100 billion) neurons in a human brain. The cybernetic hands might be a simple "passive" device which produces a snapshot of the state of the brain and expresses it physically via the fingers. The characters in this universe do have direct electronic neural connections. However, this analog approach would avoid the dangers inherent to directly connecting "wetware" to an untrusted system using a 2-way connection.

A) Most Crimeans are ethnically Russians, B) The vote was ~94% to join Russia and was done in the presence of international observers (Ukraine didn't challenge the results of the election they challenged it on the basis that it was unconstitutional) and C) the invasion was a reaction to an elected president who represented their interests being deposed.

Regardless of whom you believe is correct, the Russians kinda demonstrated more respect for Democracy with respect to Crimea than the West did.
I guess I should have also mentioned privatization.

Great article, this is the exact process I've observed multiple times.

Incorrect – the defendant had an iPhone which contained indecent recordings of his niece, and had previously admitted to family members that he had a problem with child pronography, showing them a large collection on the computer that was connected to the hard drives he now claims to have forgotten how to decrypt. This is explained in government brief[1] which was linked in the article.

tldr:

"The moment the strike was called, the President, armed with several contingency plans, replaced striking controllers with a skeleton crew of military personnel, F.A.A. brass, new hires ushered through training, and, of course, controllers who had chosen not to strike. Rumors abounded that the skies were plagued with near-misses and flights rerouted to alternative airports, but no deaths were ever reported. (It was ruled that the crash of Air Florida Flight 90 into the frozen Potomac, on January 13, 1982, which killed seventy-eight, was due to errors by the pilot and crew.) The public suffered an inconvenience on the magnitude of a gas shortage or a natural disaster, and for that inconvenience, by and large, the public blamed patco. Although diehards continued to picket for weeks, the strike officially ended on its third day, August 5, 1981, the day that striking controllers were terminated. The Reagan Administration won an order decertifying patco altogether on October 22, 1981, and rewarded scabs handsomely for their loyalty. Many of their rewards mirrored patco’s original demands."
But I have grid electric power and municipal tap water!~
By that logic shouldn't we try to encrypt SMS? Email as a protocol has huge security issues, and email as it is currently used honestly is NOT federated or decentralized.

>If the hardware is more resistant to hardware and software attacks, it seems odd to then deem it less secure just because you don't get source code that isn't guaranteed to correspond to a given binary.

It may be, but there's no guarantee it behaves the way it claims to. There's no guarantee it's not backdoored. There are powerful actors involved in these areas.

>There's so much literature on how this methodology fails, some of it quite famous. There is no assurance that your device conforms to the build you can reproduce, unless you can arbitrarily inspect the state of the entire device at each step. Being able to do that would defeat the purpose of these devices.

Care to cite some of this literature?
A tariff, duty, import tax, or whatever you want to call it, is paid by the domestic (US) consumer on the imported good. Out of the price paid by the US consumer for the Mexican product, the sticker price is paid to the Mexican producer, while an extra amount equal to the original price times the tariff rate is paid by the US consumer to the US government.
This is an unfortunate by-product of the "Google" economy (better say, "VC" economy). Pricing, for the most part, is a psychological thing. When 99.9% of the web products are "free", a $9.99/mo product requires a lot of explanations. If every bar out there would give coffee away for free (to sell you ads in the bar), would you still justify/buy the $5.99 vanilla latte? Possible, but the market would significantly shrink. It also does not help that most of the SV "businesses" do not operate according to business metrics, but following vanity metrics - like monthly recurring active users per square feet (or, worse, by how much they have raised - i.e. debts)
Personally, I'd really prefer to not pay inflated costs for soda, should I choose to consume it.

I am however completely and 100% fine with paying a higher i.e. health insurance premium due to my soda drinking habit (or any other habit that causes my health risk to be higher).

I'm just not a big fan of 'sin taxes' -- though I could be persuaded if they were actually put to use in the same way that the health insurance/risk concept would be; I'm just not convinced that's actually what would happen in the long or short term.
You should go to the coffee shops I go to... I'm constantly amazed at the amount of cool-looking shit people are doing: everyone is either in Matlab, or Photoshop editing some weird looking - advertisement? maybe? or a complicated spreadsheet with lots of charts, or some video or audio editing software, or what looks like a movie script writer, or something that looks like Jupyter notebooks... always makes me guilty when I habitually tab over to HN then look around.
As more, and more people are installing plugins just to hide comments, I can't see this going well.

Can you disable SMS on google? I've tried and have been unsuccessful. Phone is required to enable 2FA. Once that is enabled, I can add yubikeys. After adding yubikeys, I am unable to remove phone as a 2FA alternative.
Not specifically, if there's a new chipset or southbridge it may require kernel driver update (..perhaps as simple as new PCI IDs) or a new driver entirely, but similarly those changes are upstreamed rather quickly to increase the change of landing in a stable release.

AMD and Intel engineers have hardware quite early to work on this, long before the consumer product ships.

There are quite a lot of gems out there in various cultures. Have you read Chuang Tzu? He's deeply insightful.

But a word of caution that the effect of mere words wears off, and more seriously, it is trivial to misunderstand the intended meaning of these various masters. When I was young, it chafed me to read about the novice-master relationship (which is stressed in almost all spiritual schools regardless of time or place), but in mid life I've come to accept that it is truly a necessity if one is seeking truth and wishes to arrive.
I've never liked this counter argument to screen engagement. Newspapers have a very small footprint of data available to the reader. I'd be willing to bet that photo that is paraded around every time this argument is made was taken shortly after the paperboy came through the car, or the car was just loaded at a station. Within 20 minutes, everyone is going to have set down their paper and moved onto doing something else.
SFO back in early 2000 was trying for a runway repositioning that was priced at $3.5 billion (http://www.loe.org/shows/segments.html?programID=00-P13-0002...) . Mind you this was just for repositioning runways. Not increasing fair weather capacity.

I'm glad that Musk is speaking out here on this topic because there aren't enough people doing it, and it's the most important thing (in my opinion) humanity can work on.

The challenge is: How do you get people to engage with the idea and not just write them off as crazy? Well, best to have good spokespersons.

Besides that, Transhumanism isn't new. For anyone in the "Singularity" camp (including myself) this isn't news, it's a basic maxim of how we expect the future will play out.
