I think we’re about to see an increase in interest in deniable encryption.

A simple solution is to have your encryption software automatically add a large garbage file inside every encrypted volume. When you have something to hide, replace the garbage file with your new encrypted data.

This lets you nest your encryption to arbitrary depth, allowing plenty of room for plausible deniability. E.g. you could put your financial records at the first level, pictures from an erotic crossdressing forum at the second level, and the stuff you’re ACTUALLY hiding at the third level.
Thanks for your response

I had the same reaction when reading that, but I think the author was mainly trying to make the point that there is no reason a priori to attribute direct psychological properties to lacrimal secretions.

There's a while lot more to crying than just the tears.

The distinction is interesting. I wonder if there's a precedent somewhere in which someone wrote a diary in some form of code and was asked to produce the unencrypted diary.
I would further add that JS is becoming the assembly of everything. It is now hip to write desktop applications, server back ends and mobile applications in JS. Pick a language and I will find you a transpiler or 10 that will convert that to JS. There are also lots of new languages invented just for transpiling to JS. People spend months of their life writing compilers and toolchains for free, so that one day some other company can profit from their labours.

There are dozens of JS package managers and packing systems. JS files start with 100's of bytes of boilerplate to try and figure out what defacto module system is being used and then respond appropriately.

Bill Gates isn't getting any heat for meeting with Trump because: 1) he has a track record in philanthropy that speaks for itself, 2) he has been a public critic of Trump's policies, 3) he has at least 10X more money than Trump, which is one of the few things that seems to command The Donald's attention and respect.

Thanks. This makes sense.

Now that it had been published, are teams going to try to replicate and understand it? Or are some seeming breakthrough papers ignored because they "must" be wrong?
My SO is a specialist nurse. She takes screenshots of everything under the sun. She finds it easier to quickly look up screenshots than load a bookmark or even find her own research notes. When I asked about it, she said all the other nurses and doctors do it too and that's where she picked it up.
First: tears are just as "salty" as blood, so they have no net effect (120–170 mmol/l sodium for tears vs 140 mmol/l in plasma). Even if that was not the case, it would have hardly any effect (5 liters of blood v. a few ml tears). Finally, any effect would be dwarfed by the robust homeostatic system regulated by the hypothalamus.

Second: from your study: "Treatment with analgesics and ice packs was established" the infant was crying because the peripheral vascular disease caused them substantial pain.

Edit: I guess your "edit 2" is aimed at me? I mean, maybe? It seems like a huge piece of speculation on your part without a particularly well thought out mechanism, so I'd love to see a bit more work on your part before discussing further. I assume you mean that it would be a change in Na+ concentrations propagated by osmotic difference via the optic nerve, because otherwise I don't know how you'd propose that would work (meninges, blood-brain-barrier, and all). Some kind of quantification of the osmotic difference and the rate that would propagate..

Beautiful written.
I'd say that the motives of the creator have more to do with it than any real or potential use the item in question has. If I pay a bunch of time and money to create a crappy security system, am I doing it to have a security system? Or to have created something for the joy of it? Probably a little of both, but if objects of higher utility are available for cheaper (both time and money), then how are you going to argue that utility is the primary purpose?

Just another generic complaint about Go's lack of bloat. It's all completely naive, never understanding why Go doesnt want generics beyond a simple "b-b-but look, the pattern matching of Rust is simple too!" No it isnt simple just because you say it is. It is the opposite of simple. I've read the Rust docs on it several times and I still dont have a clear mental picture of how to read a match statement out loud. "match result with Some(number) .. then do..? But match HOW?"
I've been thinking of a clearer syntax/naming for match and in my humble opinion it should literally just be called 'if' and any inconsistency that doesnt align with that be removed from the language.
Calling 'match' match is haskell programmers gone wild. Programmers in the real world dont have a clue how to read 'match'
Being put on permanent DNIF and being removed from my AFSC (into 'Awaiting Retraining-Reasons Beyond Control') obviously removed my reason for having an SCI. Talk about pedantry.

Homicides are easy to document, and those are the stats used in the graphs. It's other crimes that are difficult to compare.

Find an old source saying "Blimey, we hath hadd 200 of thee black cryme of murder thys annus!" and cross-reference it against recorded population at the time, and there's your homicide rate.

This. This is actually a good solution. Not cat pictures though, it would need to be something at least shameful, maybe even lightly criminal. This would work as an alibi for why you are encrypting the drive.
My point is: I was fed the line about 'just get help it won't hurt blah blah' by people like you and it turned out to be lies. It isn't and wasn't good advice. The stigma exists for a reason.

Such articles are so frustrating. What is with our fixation to trying to do as little as possible for max. gains. It feels like there is this whole group of individuals out there who are trying to convince (without solid evidence) that exercise is replaceable my other things.Human beings are not efficiency optimization machines. Moreover, everyone who exercises regularly can tell you that fitness is the low hanging fruit. There are so many other benefits of exercise like opportunity to meet new people & benefits to mental health and more.

If you were generating hashes on the gpu for collisions, according to https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-4314.html

A single titanX does 2^9 hashes per second. Suppose you had a 10,000 Gpus (expensive but not impossible) you can do 2e13 hashes per second.

In 100 years there are ~3e9 seconds, so 6e22 hashes. Still magnitudes below 90.

mid-40s here, and I remember growing up under the threat of Mutually Assured Destruction. "a terrorist might get a small pocket of us" as a national fear is small-fry compared to "a superpower might lay permanent waste to our entire country"...

Proving intent in most cases, is extremely costly and difficult. Are you familiar with the concept of 'precedent' in criminal law?

If some goofy, or troubled and confused child, plants jalapeno peppers in his yard, with the intent that that Shia Labeouf hitchhikes across the country, develops an allergy to Jalapenos and trespasses and picks the jalapenos and wipes them all over his face and dies, should the government allocate resources, obtain warrants, and investigate said intent?

The internet contains mechanisms to completely obfuscate identity, to varying degrees, with ease; anyone can access it, there is virtually no accountability in many cases. There are no qualifications required, no definitive rules, no required courses, and there is no required key or credential to partake. It provides more abstraction, more distance between parties, less immediate responses, less certainty of truth, and very few implications are inherently evident to the naive. It is easier to make the decision to take action, and more dangerous, in every facet I can think of, than firearms are. We definitely need to issue certifications, credentials, consequences, training course mandates and massive regulations asap. Aside from the epileptic, I know of someone who experience transient psychosis, often leading to complete mental breakdown, upon seeing images of kittens. The doctors have been thus far unable to identify the root cause of the condition, but kitten pictures are extremely risky. He's only ten years old, and his mom lets him browse 4chan for twelve hours a day, and is in grave danger. I think any condition affecting more than seven people, need be addressed; INTERNET KILLS.

Is the word 'fantasy' commonly used to describe future, similar cases in the legal world? Are you familiar with the word 'implications' or 'citations' in the English language? How about 'money', 'foolishness', 'wastefulness' or 'petty'? The phrase: 'insufferable ignorance'?
I dunno, NT tied IOs to the initiating thread until Vista. This means that you had to keep the initiating thread around or your IOs would be cancelled.

NT also has the same flaw mentioned in the article; it ties the IOCP registration to the file object instead of the file handle. This means that you can't use a handle with an IOCP in one process then hand it off to another process.

The NT IO model has some nice properties but also some pretty serious warts. I think no one got it right.

It sounds like you were on a fairly old United plane (CRTs in the aisle). While there are newer planes with seat-back screens, their newest planes eschew any sort of seat-back entertainment completely. At least on domestic flights, it's been a while since I've flown internationally.

This is a deliberate decision that airlines are starting to make. If most passengers are bringing a wifi-capable device (ipad, phone, etc), then why go to the extra expense (and weight) to support seat-back screens?

Now, my main experience with this has been flying within the US where none of the newest planes have screens. Internationally, there may still be screens included in newer planes, but when screens = weight, and weight = $$$, it's not surprising that they are getting removed. Moreover, screens = depth, which when removed can make room for more rows, which means more money.

If this electronics ban takes hold though, I'd expect for there to be a big rethink about this.

Almost all film animation in the US, sure. But for TV and shorts, hand animation or some hybrid model is still quite common. And just about everything is storyboarded by hand before being animated.
I am not clear on what you mean by "no net effect", and not entirely sure how tears are comparable with blood since tears are expelled from the body; blood (and any sodium it carries away from the brain) hopefully remains in the body (not to mention that blood contains a lot more than just NaCl, compared with tears). I am also curious as to how quickly the hypothalamus would respond to a local drop in sodium ions. What you say is plausible; I do tend to agree with you about the study interpretation. Like you, I really want to hear from an expert in this field.

EDIT to reply to your edit: No, my edit 2 above was made before I saw any replies, sorry about that. Yes, it is certainly nothing but speculation.

(Thank you for pointing me in the direction of further study - I'm afraid this type of thing is a bit beyond my education when it comes to biology)
It's probably possible on an OS level but I'm guessing it's an expensive task. If you're playing a 3d game that's resource intensive and you want to check 'every' frame you'll surely take a performance hit. I think disabling gif/movies/etc from playing automatically would be almost as effective and not as much overhead (toggle option of course)

Many thanks! That's by far the most detailed analysis of Snowflake that I've seen.
> The issues around the downloading of IIOC [indecent images of children] are that statistically out of a cohort of offenders, the predominant characteristic is that the offence will be committed in the main by white males.

That's quite a remarkable statistic. I wonder why.
Wow, that's a lot against this guy, but hypothetically couldn't compelling him to decrypt his drives based on a file hash set a dangerous precedent where police can just plant file hashes somewhere to get access to anyone's drives?

For example, I previously tended to use a bottom-up approach to development. However, SICP showed me the benefits of what it calls "wishful thinking" with a more top-down approach.

It also helped me finally 'get' functional programming. Even in situations where other programming paradigms make more sense, I'll still opt for a functional style a lot of the time and avoid state.

I'm also a lot more confident with higher-order functions and closures after SICP help me understand them better. Seeing how cons pairs can be implemented as functions was simply mind-blowing. I think being able to use some of these techniques have improved the way I code.

There are a lot of other topics, such as the meta-circular evaluator, that I haven't had the opportunity to put into practice, but are nonetheless absolutely fascinating.
The problem with hashes is that they offer a likelihood of collision which in practice and for very large sets, does happen.

Trees don't and are easier to reason about and prove. Esp. Important for critical systems or projects on massive scales,ud want a tree ADT on that Mars rover.

That's the gist of my conversation with my algorithms tutor about why my use of hashing to solve problems, while correct, is flawed.

I did get the points for those exercises and my lower bounds were alot better than what was demanded, but the problem lies in the fact that it's not guaranteed.
For C and C++, what's wrong with using assert() in an integration_test() function or many <func>_test() functions, called when passed a --test flag or compiled as a separate binary?

For me, benchmarking isn't really useful unless it's a profiler in a real world use situation. Otherwise you have no idea how often each API function is called.

Ahh yes, they spell out their interpretation clearly in the companion manual to the constitution.
Yeah, but I doubt that any non-anthropocentric measure of biological success puts humans anywhere special:

Biomass: krill dominate

Individual count: bacteria probably soon by a massive landslide

Evolutionary stability: the Goblin shark had been around for millions of years

When people talk about how special H. sapiens is they tend to always say that we're the only species to have some conjunctive list of traits. But for any given species there is some list of traits that single it out as unique and special, so I find those arguments pretty contrived.

However, perhaps humans do win out in the per capita production of waste heat category.
> Proving intent in most cases, is extremely costly and difficult. Are you familiar with the concept of 'precedent' in criminal law?

Is there an equivalent for the Python runtime? When I started using Lambda there wasnt, but I haven't looked at whether that changed since.
> Except you cannot have static signs from one direction, where the other directions have traffic signals.

I don't know about such a rule. There are some intersections in Germany where there are red and orange lights, but no green for e.g. just one direction. At such a place, when no light is on, rules according to the static signs apply, while other directions still show some light. So what you're saying doesn't hold at least temporarily there.

> This solution is neat

I don't think so. Someone unfamiliar with the place might think the light will turn eventually green, even if it's unclear where one could go if it did. It will at least cause confusion and unnecessarily draw attention away from actual traffic. And of course there's the maintenance and power cost.
