Multihash is nice, but it solves exactly two out of many problems with migrating to a new hash.

First, it carries the information of which hash function was used to produce the digest "in-band", so that this information does not need to be obtained out-of-band, or from a different input, or inferred from context.

Second, because it carries this information inside one data item, it essentially domain-segregates the information space of the digest by hash function, which ensures that two digests generated by two different hash functions never collide into the same value. While this property seems very useful, in truth this can only happen if the two different hash functions in question generate digests of the same length, and because the hash functions are different, you can't mount a collision attack, so you must work backwards from one of the outputs to try to break the other [1].

This then shows that the hard part about "migrating hashes" isn't usually the data structures, but rather the policies and practices on how you affect access or treatment of data items identified by or checksummed by the now-insecure hash; whether you have enough data and knowledge contained within the closed system that seamless migration is possible internally; how you communicate changes in content-addressing to users such that they can evaluate the trust and risks (similar to "seamlessly" upgrading HTTP to HTTPS), etc.

[1] I'm not a crypto expert so I'll avoid commenting in precise, technical terms [2] of which exact attack this would entail.

say you want to "sprinkle" cryptocurrency on a really bland idea.

What is the fastest and cheapest way in doing so?

Just so you can put "cryptocurrency" on your website to get marketing exposure.

That's about the only value I see with the current crypto business. Hype.
You seem to be missing the point.

If the company is handling sensitive data, such as credit card information or medical information, there's already regulations to handle that. There's literally no point in trying to add regulations around Flexible SSL specifically, since the usage of Flexible SSL likely already contravenes the regulations for that sensitive data and therefore companies handling that data shouldn't be using it.

If the company isn't handling sensitive data, then again there's no point in adding regulations around Flexible SSL, because what possible benefit would that serve?

Flexible SSL is simply one tool that websites can use. It's intended to be used by sites that would otherwise just be using http://. Sites that do protect more sensitive information certainly could use it, but that would be a bad decision on their part. And we don't need regulations around it specifically, because there's also a million other bad decisions that company could make that would expose that data, and there's really nothing special about Flexible SSL that makes it in particular need of regulation.

Hmm, we'll need to wait for the source code and a detailed analysis of the exploit, but 6500 years of CPU time suggest a high degree of parallelism right of the bat.

Depending on the demands of the algorithm, an ASIC could outmatch an x86 farm —possibly by even more orders of magnitude than they do GPUs.

Possible hurdles for the ASIC are memory hardness, (memory costs the same no matter the architecture), branching, and complex operations such as multiplications. They could destroy any advantage the ASIC have.
This basically postulates that language learned is a process similar to a supervised machine learning algorithms, and this, perhaps, is a more realistic view that Chomsky has. The machinery has been evolved, but "the training data" is required to make it work.
I really think this is the sort of thinking you could have done not out loud. It seems obvious to me that someone who orders a jacket that fits them did not choose the shape of their body, and someone who orders a steak and lobster meal usually (in the absence of some medical condition) did choose to want a steak and lobster meal, and that there's a fundamental difference between being inclusive to people of all body shapes and being inclusive to people of all lunch preferences.

I make this comment out loud because I might be wrong, and if there's some insight here about how this train of thought does not occur to you, I'm genuinely curious.
Thank you for that very informative comment. So that's why those sweaters I bought in the women's section at Uniqlo don't seem to fit me very well!

Edit 2: Never mind the above two links. The apparent lack of change is due to some problem with Archive.org.

Maybe that unprofessional looking doctor is actually the son of a rich benefactor and got the job because of his connections.

Maybe he kept with appearances until he got tenure and now he's slacking because no one can fire him.

Maybe the hospital was short on staff and took anyone willing to apply at the time.

Or a hundred other reasons why, if you can choose a doctor, do research on them, if you dont have time, pick one by virtue of conversation, if you can't do either, you are just trying to make a pattern out of randomness.

I don't disagree. I was thinking about how Java is typically taught in computer science contexts where Fortran in any language is not uncommon because that context seemed the relevant one to nest inside the context of junior programmers using Java.

One of the difficulties of learning Java is that because it has been around so long, old idioms live on on the internet. For example, the Java examples of flatteing a list (which I recently looked at) do not include flatmapping a stream. It does not surprise me that it is there since I believe Java is an incredible and sophisticated language.

My granddaughter (1y 8m) uses flossers without instruction. Clearly, there is innate tooth hygiene in humans.

No, what's happening is she's mimicking the adults in the house. She's observing and repeating. She's done the same thing with dolls: put them on her shoulder, pat them, make shushing noises ... because we do that with her; because she see's others do that with other babies.

"Instruction"? No. But the only "innate" behaviors this child has involve eating and curiosity. Everything else is spurred by that innate curiosity.
My post is not about my preferred option; I am trying to 'triangulate' where the limits of discrimination are.
Yeah obviously, but I don't think the blog post was really suggesting otherwise. Of course if a man wants a women's jacket or vice versa than they can have it. But from a logistical point of view it's safe to assume that most of the men will want a men's cut and most of the women will want a women's cut.

A lot used to be different about Amazon Affiliate program. 7 years ago I used to make ~$100 a day off of it (although I did get banned a few times for sketchy experiments I was doing with it, my own fault for exploring the edges of what the TOS allowed.)

I think all that bad behavior of us early pioneers resulted in the program being severely limited and audited.

Which is a really weird thing to have to deal with when the only reason I wanted an Amazon Affiliate account was to use that account to access their database of album art from XLD.

Here's another hypothetical: suppose a manager makes a practice of emailing all their male reports every week with "Just wanted to say that we appreciate your work at this company. Your work this week on ___ was fantastic," and not their female reports.

Then there is no question of cost or value or function, other than the five seconds required to figure out something the female reports worked on this week.

Would this be an acceptable thing for the manager to do?
Pretty sure the evidence is that the women didn't get a jacket and the men did. The discussing was just about the complaint, but that core fact remains.

It definitely isn't a "he said, she said" situation when there is a physical item (jacket) missing.

Yeah, that seems vastly more reasonable. I was quoting AdWeek (I know...) because it was the most conservative number available.

So yeah, let's be more realistic and say that advertising makes up 2% of GDP. There's got to be an ethical job in one of the industries making up the other 98%. I've never worked for an ad-supported business and I don't find employment difficult to come by...
I don't think #1 is as easy to deal with as you may think. In any other normal company, sexual harassment normally stems from isolated individuals, or at worst a particular department.

But from Fowlers account, it sounds like the culture is well and truly embedded through the whole company. Heck, even HR is burying the issue.

Company culture (what is enabling both #1 and #2 issues) is established by the CEO and board through what they explicitly and implicitly (through omission of action) allow. That means, the problem is at the CEO-level - that's not an easy problem to solve.

Sure you can fire the CEO ... but now #1 is as big a concern to investors as #2.

That is blackly humourous to me. Wow. Thanks for the link.

"The researchers found that certain intensive procedures were performed less often on the high-risk patients in the study during meeting dates than outside meeting dates.

One explanation for these findings, the researchers said, is that physicians who don’t attend the conferences take a more conservative approach for high-risk patients; another is that the physicians who stayed behind were reluctant to perform intensive procedures on another physician’s patients while that doctor was out of town. Survival rates might be higher because, for high-risk patients with cardiovascular disease, the harms of intensive procedures may unexpectedly outweigh the benefits."

This sounds a little like the programming conference effect. Where someone comes home excited about a new way of doing things, and applies it without first proving it out in isolation. Except people die.

There is a lot to worry about.

Most are forced to correlate crime and migration because they can't write online that the real thing bothering Westerners is the virulent growth of an anachronistic religion that makes both men and women subservient to an old book or wizard in the sky.

Neglecting the violence that happens to them when they don't dress that way.

Ask HN: What to do when you're denied to every New Grad position?
I have been absolutely denied from all new grad positions.

What do I get interviews for? 2+ years of experience and startup positions. What's so bad about that? These companies try to pay you the lowest, while trying to get you to do everything.

One example of a current company I'm interviewing with:

Retail company making at least $1 billion. Associate Developer. I have an interview with the hiring manager, and I have to somehow convince him that I'm the right choice for a $40k position that requires 2 years of experience in Hoboken, NJ (that's about 10 minutes away from NYC, for your information).

What else is aggravating? One day it's ASP.NET interview, next day it's NodeJS interview, next day it's database + C# interview, then back to developing an API in NodeJS, then Ruby, then Python. These aren't even new grad positions. How in the hell am I supposed to know everything? Practically no one asks algorithm or data structure questions.

Finally, sometimes I even pass HackerRanks, but those end up being rejections, and sometimes companies don't even pay for airplane + hotel, so I don't go because I can't afford.
Fair enough. I think unconscious bias like this is incredibly frustrating for people who can see it and feel its effects.

When you're on the other side and aren't affected by these issues, it's easy to critique legitimate concerns somewhat academically, ignoring how insensitive it looks to others.

If they are going from a volume based approach to a margin based approach that is rational, and good for everyone.

(i.e. why payout more for 1000 rubber bands that makes them uncompetitive to sell, and you should pay out more for that high end tv).
This is a combination of a) short-sighted unit cost calculations and b) an idiotic response to A.

Let's say each jacket is $100. You need 126 of them (120 men + 6 women, per the article). Let's say because you're buying 120 men's jackets, you get a 20% bulk discount. That's an $80 unit cost for men's jackets and a $100 unit cost for women's jackets (where you don't qualify for a volume discount).

The idiot manager says, "Wait a second, we said we were OK with an $80-ish per-employee cost... I can't go spending 25% more on some versus others!" This, on its face, is a fair statement.

But the real answer is, "We're buying equivalent goods and our per-employee unit cost is $80.95. Cool? Cool." ($80.95 = [$80 * 120 + $100 * 6] / 126)

So instead of doing the real per-employee math, they stopped at the per-item cost, where it looked out of whack.

Then they were even more idiotic. Let's say the per-employee cost argument was legitimate (remember: it's not). The right answer would then be, "OK, we need to find something equivalent for $80 unit cost." Instead, they opted for a $0 unit cost for women ("no jacket for you"), a 100% differential.

That's not bias or sexism or any of that... it's just idiocy. But it is discrimination, so lawsuit for you. Fire that idiot manager for being an idiot on both risk management and being incompetent.
> Holy crap computers have been around for 100 years?

I'm guessing you weren't able to read the "and outside" part of the sentence you glibly quoted. If anything, claiming that it's less than 100 years is the major failure of that statement.

I agree that there is a difference, but I'll bet that larger people (in height, weight, or both) order larger meals, so you could make a case that not paying for the larger meal was discriminatory.

I agree that the meal analogy is not a great one, but I am using it because it was in the article, and another commenter replied to me with it. I try to avoid 'fighting the hypothetical' by changing the example.

Well if you use the Bitcoin network as a metric, there's roughly 3 billion GH/s (which is really two chained SHA1 in hardware), and realtimebitcoin.info claims this is ~2000 MW. If you compare that to the 9 billion GH that the shattered article claims are needed, then that indicates it would take a network equivalent in size to the Bitcoin network ~3 seconds and ~1'600 kWh. There's no indication how "lucky" a 9 billion GH collision is, so perhaps it would be longer or shorter based on the statistics.

Looking at it from the other direction, they claim 110 GPU-years. A GeForce GTX 1080 is claimed to be 180 W. That's 175'000 kWh. If you assume that dedicated hardware ASICs are 100x more power efficient than the card I claimed, that has at least a similar order of magnitude. To do it in an hour would take a million graphics cards, and ~200 MW.
How is a YCombinator batch monetized?
I'd recommend a DO instance, or one of their competitors. IIRC there's a VPS provider out there that does $3pm VPSes, but I'm not sure the $2pm difference is worth it over going for a provider you know.

Alternatively if you really want to minimise your costs right down, migrate from WP to Hugo. You can do so without breaking any links if you pay attention to your permalink structure. Then host on S3, where your bill will, for a low-traffic site, be more like $5 per year.

Additional upside to that since you mention having to deal with the hassle every couple of years: HTML isn't going to go out of date any time soon.

I find that videogames fill my "brain in neutral" space very nicely. If I'm just not in the mood to read, or get out, pick up some new skill or polish an old one, hang out with friends or do something productive (and sometimes you truly want to do nothing)... I find that videogames are a nice choice. I especially enjoy combining them with unabridged audiobooks that I might not otherwise bother reading/listening to otherwise.

The trick is to make sure that you resist the temptation to allow that empty time (like empty calories) to dominate your life. It's like ice cream... a little is great stuff, but don't make eating it the center of your lifestyle.
