Well, for your exact GOOGLE.IO example, it's very likely the answer is nobody will issue but I suspect you misapprehend why.

Let's Encrypt absolutely would be happy to issue you a certificate for my web site if you can use DNS to convince them you control it.

Why not for GOOGLE.IO? Well Google is very famous, and CAs are obliged to have a "High risk" policy that identifies some names as "High risk" and requires human oversight for those names. Google is probably on every high risk list ever formulated. For Let's Encrypt since they have zero humans in their validation process, the "High risk" list is a blacklist, you just get an error "Policy forbids issuing" instead of your certificate.

But "High risk" doesn't scale. It protects Google, Microsoft, HSBC, Amazon, but it's not going to protect me or most other people.

CAA protects more broadly, but it doesn't protect you against somebody with control over DNS, because it needs DNS records to work, so they could just remove or alter the records. Also CAA is only just recently becoming mandatory, it can't save you if it's ignored by the CA.

This is rather short-sighted. The intelligence community is accusing WhatsApp and other apps that provide end-to-end encryption of providing a "place to hide" for terrorist. But what's stopping a terrorist from writing a letter in some kind of code, or develop their own encryption? Who knows, maybe they are already doing this.

Banning end-to-end encryption would be a completely ineffective measure.
You are assuming a gently 2m rise over the next 180 years, because the earth has been in a locally stable place with respect to climate.

Humanity has "jumped the edge", and the equilibrium will not necessarily settle back to the a similar pattern. Specifically, run-away positive feedback loops are lurking out there, which will push us to a completely foreign part of the parameter space for climate. In fact: it's not even climate - we are talking about the pH of the oceans and the composition of the atmosphere.

If this happens, your life will change catastrophically, very quickly.

Methanes and clathrates are just two well-known positive feedback systems in play; if we touch one of them we will be miserable. It probably won't end our species, but it will absolutely result in mass extinction of thousands of others.
Arguing that someone should give you something is much easier to communicate than arguing that someone should redo its tech to be able to give you something.

Policywise it is beneficial to conceal your own knowledge about their technical barrier and frame it in the easiest way possible to produce the highest public pressure.

Don't know about other UNIXes, but at least on GNU/Linux, neither IMEs nor filesystems are working with text data - it's all binary strings (with a few restrictions, like unacceptability of NULs). The only place where those binary strings are converted to text is when they're rendered (and this may cause some encoding-related oddities). So, sure one can do that.

I would've actually preferred for identifiers to be Unicode text strings.
WhatsApp will not hand anything over because they can't. This article fails to investigate and explain the reasons why, rather casts fear and hate on the reader by making US tech companies look and sound unreasonable.

C++ and C will still remain alive for a long time. C++ for reason of legacy code in business, and C for its unique feature of being the standard "high level assembler". There is always at least a C compiler available for every new platform.

I believe that Rust has the power to take a significant part of C++ in coming years. Maybe that also Ada will increase due to the rise of public interest in code safety. C will remain as it is because there is no easier way to port system software to new platforms.
It can become asymmetric based on how onerous the application process. Some tech companies have candidates do online exams, some even projects. The exam/project can take a day to complete. The company can just ignore the results for all but a handful of candidates...that is pretty asymmetric.

Ideally, the company should only push onerous application processes to applications once the list has been whittled down a bit, or only push them in cases where the results will actually be reviewed.
FYI: A while back I've started to put together a world classics bookshelf using plain text w/ markdown formatting and auto-published with a GitHub Pages (Jekyll) theme - see http://worldclassics.github.io Still early (e.g. world classics for now include The Trial by Franz Kafka and

This article didn't mention it specifically, but Betterment already put in a rate hike. You used to be able to get 10 basis points if you had over 100k and they just increased that to 25 in a really underhanded way. I had been using Betterment for about 2 years when they did this.

I had been happy with Betterment but it's clear that they want to get as many people in under the low rates and slowly increase it on you, knowing that you can't easily move it around to another provider (especially if you're dependent on their tax loss harvesting etc).

My first question is what will they change with regards to UI and pathfinding? The original SC is very finicky by today's standards which means it'll be tough to get anyone interested for reasons other than nostalgia. But the particulars of strategy and tactics are strongly influenced by things like the maximum army size selection, the frankly bizarre path finding, etc. So making any change will alienate long term fans.
Yeah, the title here should be changed. The Home Secretary is actually arguing that end-to-end encryption should not be permitted. From the article:

"Referring to Whatsapp's system of end-to-end encryption, she said: 'It is completely unacceptable. There should be no place for terrorists to hide.'"

The article's headline is "WhatsApp accused of giving terrorists 'a secret place to hide' as it refuses to hand over London attacker's messages." That's misleading/inaccurate to begin with. But the way it's been shortened here just makes it completely inaccurate.
> You've got to come up with a system or context in which being prejudiced isn't useful

That's usually regulation. Child labor is useful, no vacation time is useful and 16-hour days until your workers literally start dying is extremely useful. You would make a ton of money that way. There is no way you can spin the argument such that the company would always derive higher profits by taking the moral choice.
Listening to some old episodes of 'The News Quiz', and I'm struck by the fact that this is not a whole new level of anything at all. If anything, this is par for the course, and Theresa May being in power at all is a result of that.

> You don't need to keep saying variations of "western economies are improving". I know what's going on in the world.

No, I keep telling you unemployment is going down on EU countries. I won't fall for your trick - I'm not talking about the economy (so you can't talk about "economy is good only for big companies that employ migrants" or some other conspiracy theory).

Unemployment. Is. Going. Down. "Despite" (or partly thanks to). Migration.

> More specifically it's to do with EU membership, and stimulus packages arising from membership.

Stimulus packages that come from wealth created by having access to a bigger workforce and a richer market. Yes, I know how the EU works.

Do you think rich countries don't benefit of the EU? I know it's a complex topic that requires an active interest and probable some research, so let's do this: Sit back and watch how the UK tries to cling on to Single Market's membership. Even UKIP is already asking for it. UKIP, the anti-immigration party. Yep.

> It's not solely related to trading benefits within the single market, and in fact much of the improvements that have taken place in poorer EU countries are due to exports to non-EU countries (Russia/Ukraine etc), i.e. completely unrelated to the single market.

Yeah, Romania definitely started improving their economy when they started trading with Russian and Ukraine. Same for Poland and the Baltics, too. Or maybe we should ask Czechia and Slovakia?

The Single Market is not just a free trade agreement. I would recommend you to read up on how it works as it is a complex topic.

> But anyway, how is stimulus meant to work at a global level (bear in mind though that this conversation only started because somebody said anybody should be able to work in the US without restriction)

Now I've got a surprise for you: I don't think the US should do FoM with the world. It might make sense for them to start with Canada and maybe the UK in about 10 years, when we see how Brexit is panning out. Then in 15-20 they can look at the EU and analyse if it would make sense to extend it to the EU too.

Immigration is good, but you have to account for how fast can you scale up your infrastructures and services. Opening up FoM between US and EU could be quite impactful for either. US culture is very attractive for EU citizens and there's a lot of love for places like California or New York due to movies, etc. None of this cities would be able to take a couple of million new inhabitants in 12 months.

But my opinion on US FoM is based on weak research. Maybe a serious study shows there's less desire to move than I think. I would personally don't move due to the healthcare mess the US is - but that might mean US citizens from depressed areas might prefer to rely on Canadian or European healthcare instead.

Sure, but which bit is surprising?

1) Upper class men find it easier to get interviews at elite law firms - Well, sure, we could all have guessed that!

2) Men find it easier than women to get interviews at elite law firms - Not as obvious, but ok, sexism is a real thing so not staggering.

3) Upper class status actually hurts women despite massively helping men - That's actually surprising, isn't it? If privileges were simply additive then you'd expect upper class women to be somewhere between upper class men and lower class women with the exact order depending on whether class or gender prejudice was stronger.
That should be a canonical test for the implausibility of any policy. "Do we need to invent a time machine for this to work?"

Funny to read press release dated for 27th March a full day before that day.
The article suggests they aim to make this version pretty much bug-for-bug-compatible, to retain the original feel of the game (and original strategies, which often took game's idiosyncrasies into account).
The article literally states:

End to end encryption is a way of transmitting a message so that it can only be read by the intended recipient, and not intercepted by accessing the servers or the networks via which the message is sent.

Rather than being sent as plain text, the message is scrambled as a long series of digits that needs a key only held by the sender and the recipient to understand it.

The keys are ephemeral, meaning they disappear after the message is unscrambled so that it can not be unlocked afterwards.
This is brilliant, thanks for sharing.

Yet networking, in one form or another, is how many if not most people land their jobs. Perhaps a poll is in order here?

I suspect your definition of what constitutes "a network" is what makes the odds you calculate look like a search for extraterrestrial intelligence. It's nothing like that.

If we did a poll right here, I would wager that more people got their current position through a third party lead or inside contact than through submission to an online job application.

There's often a conflict between effective and practical advice to individuals on the one hand and dealing with broader social issues on the other.

I might believe that cleaners should be paid more and that there's nothing wrong with manual labour, that doesn't mean I'd tell my children - living in today's world as it is - that there's no reason they should prefer a job as a cleaner to a job as a lawyer or an engineer.
I am also moving from Betterment to Vanguard. I like Vanguard's selection of funds better than Betterment's one-size-fits-all option.

For example I am a cautious investor right now. At Betterment this means I have to lean more towards their Bonds option, which yielded a very low return over the past year. At Vanguard, I can invest in the Income fund which is a mix of high dividend paying stocks and bonds. Still cautious but much better returns.
> You can finally concentrate without fear of distraction (which is itself a distraction)

This is a very clear articulation of something I have been trying to put into words for years. My family doesn't understand why I can't get anything done when they are around, even if they aren't speaking to me. It's because I know there is the potential for interruption, which in and of itself is enough to prevent me from truly getting into the "deep work" state.
StarCraft is a successful franchise. Both Starcraft I and II are excellent games with amazing playability. It never stops amazing me how creative strategies get.

Blizzard itself is also a very successful company.

Now, in fairness, Blizzard itself could be more successful if they paid more attention to successful mods. Defense of the ancients started as a Warcraft III map played in Battle.net, and multiple standalone versions of it were developed before Blizzard decided to implement their own game (Heroes of the Storm).

The Problem with “The Seven Keys”
Have you been paying attention to the Middle East and North Africa? Dire is already here.
Really enjoyed the metacognition portion of this article. It seems like the key here is...

1. people overestimate how much they'll remember.

2. this is due in part because in the moment you've learned something, you can recall it easily.

3. switching between things, pushes them out of immediate memory, so you can practice retrieving what you learned from while its less active (and competing with other things you're learning).

Thats it guys. Mommy says no more maths.
Probably more blackmailed than led by the intelligence services. This is why the deep state is so intent on surveilling the politicians. And why when they discover the political class engaging in crimes they do not bring them to justice (like the Westminster paedophilia scandal). They like to keep all their dirt on file so they are easily controlled and can be forced to enact the draconian laws the deep state wants.
only if it involves something deemed legal by the Thought Police and the Party.
Long term player here (haven't played in years though), and still having my original key and CD just one meter away from this laptop. Should we consider this version as an upgrade or a sole new game?

You're forgetting that this has always been possible, and not all adversaries are capable, bother, or aware of what they could do.

I expect it's quite likely this one was using WhatsApp because that's what he used; not because he read about its end-to-end encryption.
You're spreading antiscientific misinformation with your claim that Freeman Dyson asserts that we don't have a good explanation for why bicycles don't topple. The linked article doesn't support that claim.

What Dyson says is that it's hard to design a technological artifact, like a bycicle, from scratch, using theory only. We know perfectly how and why it works, but it's very hard to design something the behavior of which is actually governed cleanly by the fundamental explanatory principles in predictable ways. That doesn't make the principles of the explanation wrong: it's recognizing that reality is incredibly messy. It's about how hard technology is, not about science.

> You blame unemployment on immigration, yet there's barely no unemployment. At all.

You must be trolling but I'll say it once again, I know the general state of western economies. I understand that we are NOW in a period of low unemployment. I'm talking about the effect that immigration to certain western countries (half of OECD countries) had on employment levels, which you can verify in the study above whether you want to or not.

And as for the rest of your post...of course unemployment grew for all demographics during the recession.

Perhaps you're completely misunderstanding my point, because I never said that immigration caused unemployment, I said that it affected employment levels, i.e. the rates of employment between migrants and nationals, which again you can verify from the OECD study.

One of your co-defenders on here also pointed out another OECD study which says:

> An OECD study of the impact of immigration on the unemployment of domestic workers in OECD countries (including the UK) during 1984-2004 found that an increase in the share of migrants in the labour force increases unemployment for those with skills most similar to the migrants in the short to medium term (over a period of 5-10 years), but that immigration has no significant impact on unemployment in the long run (Jean and Jimenez 2010).

which again verifies what I'm saying and corroborates the data from the other study. So you keep saying you can't find any evidence of migration having any effect on employment and you now have two Europe-wide studies from the OECD showing that it does.
Lately I've been writing a lot of LaTeX rather than programming. Nvi has macros, mappings, and abbreviations so it's not hard to deal with verbosity. In the past, I've written in languages like python, Haskell, SQL, R, and even HTML. It's never been a problem. I've never had to write Java though, so maybe I'd use something else if I were forced to.

Code completion, like syntax highlighting, seems to be one of those tools that changes how you think and I'm not sure it's for the better. Being able to quickly bang out a bunch of glue code may be great for a 9-5 but I think it gets in the way of the creative process. That's just my opinion, though. I'm not aware of any research into this idea.
