« Ambarabà ciccì coccò
tre civette/galline/scimmiette sul comò
che facevano l'amore
con la figlia del dottore;
il dottore si ammalò:

The text is a bit more risque than in English. "ambarabà ciccì coccò" is the nonsense part.

I'm not doubting that money buys influence, but it's not even necessary. There are enough potential politicians with enough different viewpoints that all you need to do is find one already pushing your agenda, and back them.
The track record on that design strategy is not good. We've been pursuing designs with cryptographic diversity built in for several decades, and the result has been decades of terrible vulnerabilities --- almost none of which have been mitigated by diversity!
This presentation has little interesting information, maybe internet and mobile innovation have peaked?

Over the years I've always been fascinated to read her internet trends report, and this is the first time it feels tired. Important to understand the trends in China for sure, but few surprises overall.

You assume those that live in small cities work there as well. A large number of people living rural areas or small cities drive to big cities to work. There are very few "small" cities on the coasts (<10,000 people) so perhaps that is what you are referring to by small cities for which this works.

Nah I'm talking about the _ENV variable itself being in lexical scope.
Two thousand years ago people were at each other's throats over "homoousion". One thousand years ago over "filioque". Four hundred years ago it was predestination. The idea that large-scale conflict over ideology is some kind of aberration to be explained by "biases" is just a figment of the modern ideology of "rationality". In five hundred years they will study this time period and ask, how could they have been so worked up over these minor and obscure points, hardly even comprehensible any more, that they tore their society apart? And the answer will be the same as always - human nature: superstitious, tribal, dogmatic, and violent.

> I think this is actually totalitarian left - the right is more about personal liberties etc.

Both the left anf the right talk a lot about personal liberties (though they focus on different specific liberties). Both the left and the right have domains where they generally favor government control. And both the left and the right have factions which are more libertarian (focussing more on the areas of personal liberty favored by their respective side) and factions that are more authoritarian (focussing more on the areas of central control favored by their respective side.)

Historically, the left is generally the side favoring, on balance, democratization of power and greater liberty, but that's focussed on breaking power down from wherever it is centralized which isn't always formal government.
I would start with gentoo. This is a horrible, horrendous distro to actually work with (I will make a few friends here...) but there is nothing better to understand how Linux works.

You have to painfully install every bit of the system and you gain fantastic knowledge on the way.

Then, once it is installed, you can delete it and install something which works, namely Ubuntu (which is obviously the best system on earth). I do not know for desktops, I only use Linux on servers.

Source : I forced all my admins through that 15 to 20 years ago and that still talk to me.
Forgetting costs energy... Human memory seems association-based, and even uses the creative part of the brain so it can also generate details (often false) on the fly. So learning things via mnemonics is so successful even if counterintuitive that you're learning two things instead of one, but eventually the mnemonic seems to fade and you can deal with the thing you were after. But the mnemonic often seems to still be there. How do you deal with sudden recall of a memory or fact from 10+ years ago which you haven't thought about at all since then and that for all intents and purposes is useless and noise? There's a lot of stuff that is still 'there' in the brain, even if you can't recall, but may be triggered by some association, so how do you distinguish failure to recall with actual forgetting and the information not being there at all? The article mentions childhood phone numbers. I can remember at least one right now, it wouldn't surprise me if I could recall others with more careful thinking or perhaps some nostalgic browsing of old photos.

Changing locations is barely given a blurb in the article and I don't see how it would help that much apart from maybe motivation-related reasons (similar to having a separate room in your home for your home office). Is there a study on location changing? I'd bet the location trick's effects are dominated by the fact that spaced repetition is at play, which also gets mentioned in the article. Is there a study that tries to detect a difference between spaced repetition in the same location and spaced repetition in other locations? If there were a difference, then maybe it could work on the idea that you're creating a subconscious association with the place you're studying in and the thing you're learning, and by recalling and learning it in another location you're adding another association and strengthening the common paths. But I have to wonder if explicitly constructing a memory palace to create such associations between facts and things/places is a far superior strategy and again would dominate any effect of different location.
In my current company, the start time is fixed (9) and adherence to it is flexible (probably also a 4 hour window, but with a strong unspoken preference for being reasonably "on time") so our work schedules overlap. I think this is a fairly efficient balance, and I would guess shouldn't suffer heavily from the problems mentioned by the GP if we were to introduce a shorter work day.

On your point on remote work, I don't really think this is true. One day response turnarounds can be a real pain in writing.
The conflicts you list are all conflicts based on disagreements over the solutions to problems rather than based on what people want.

To pick an example: Why is gun control even an issue? It didn't used to be - therefore something has changed that makes people want to ban guns. What is that? Is banning guns the only solution?

You can use the same logic with most of these.
None of these are good reasons to build SHA-3 into a design today, which is the point of the post. He's not criticizing SHA-3's design; pretty much everyone thinks it's interesting and valuable. The point is that the resulting standard doesn't have a lot of immediate practical benefit for real systems.
> It allows you to build all the symmetric cryptographic primitives from one basic element! This means: hashes, PRNGs, MACs, encryption, AEAD, etc

Isn't this true for most cryptographic hash functions? MAC with HMAC or H(key || m), encryption with a CTR-like mode on top of the MAC, etc.
Not just want to say, but have no other real choice but to stay.
Don't forget that this extreme polarization is an American thing. At least Germany doesn't have it to that degree. The parties have differences but they don't demonize each other.
What prevents Brave from, instead of requiring these BAT tokens to show advertising on their network, just deciding to charge $ instead? If/when they do that won't it make these tokens worthless?
I like the idea but unfortunately almost nothing about modern society involve choices that only affect the people right around you. You can't build a modern car without spanning many miles of people. When you shit, it goes into everyone's water supply, when you burn stuff for energy, it goes into all of our air. When you drink water, it comes from finite reserves that are all connected and we all share.

So you are right, I cannot accept this because it isn't compatible with reality.
On the iPhone you can block ads on non-rooted phones! It's awesome.

I use AdBlock Fast, but I say "use" casually since it's just an app you install and you're done with it. I never actually opened it after installing it months ago.

No more ads ever on mobile.
I'd say a middle out is probably more common. Instead of going for Rails or some other framework, or figuring out what's happening in memory and what the compiler is doing, start with writing code with a high level language. You move on to learning frameworks and CS fundamentals. So you're much closer to the top than the bottom, but you're still starting with some pretty basic stuff.

Anyway, learning without building stuff is very un-fun. I can't imagine trying to learn programming by just reading books for months and months without access to a computer.
I work remotely, and it is easier to develop and compile on the same box. I normally compile just the kernel, but occasionally have to rebuild the entire thing.
Stop cunting it up
On Android, the default SSL client settings require the full chain. Simply installing a rouge ca cert won't work for most applications out-of-the-box. If you are interested in collecting the data sent by a particular application, you can patch the bytecode to override this behavior. This also works against cert pinning.
>I wonder who will win...

Ad-blocking had already won. I haven't (involuntary) seen ads for several years now. There were a few regressions here and there, but they were all fixed extremely fast. The new fancy ad-block detectors were defeated in a matter of days.

26% ad-blocking is a nice start, but the real fun begins when it is at +96%, and Google/Facebook/InsertNameHere lose their main source of income.

I think a very strong and concerted push to outlaw ad-blocking is almost inevitable, but ultimately it will be as futile as trying to outlaw the BitTorrent protocol.

Will the ad-supported crap-manufacturing eyeball factory that is the modern Internet crash and burn, leaving only Patreon to stand atop the pile of ruins?

We can but hope.
> It's also hard to imagine building the interstate highway system today but, in general, a greater concern about the environmental impact of infrastructure projects isn't really a bad thing.

Yes, but Japan and Western Europe surely care as much about the environment as the US does, don't they?

Plus a lot of the times you have a incredibly amount of money spent on environmental review for things like, a housing complex in the middle of SF being torn down to make way for a taller housing complex. That's not going to impact "the environment" as the term is usually used. It's not dropping new development in a forest or building a dam.
due to Amdahl's law, it's always better to have a single faster processor than multiple slower ones.

...but do we really need faster processors? i don't know, but i'd like to have one :)
It's a huge cultural taboo to fire anyone without cause in Japan. And even if you do have cause, there's a pretty high bar for what actually constitutes cause. It would be a huge scandal if a Japanese company, especially a large salaryman-style company, fired an employee for anything less than stabbing a coworker.

But you're also not working at a Starbucks or a Chipotle. This is what your parent was talking about: a lot of the jobs in our economy require physically being where your customers are.
I think plague might be a stronger word than I would use, since I think there is always pressure on new entrants to exaggerate problems with existing technology. For example: I have several customers with 200TB databases on a single server. I helped a customer a few weeks ago insert 50K/queries/s sustained on some not particularly special hardware (higher is possible; depends a lot on schema+indexes).

But back to your question - Yes. We are working on improving use cases like insert throughput, and changing the file format so we can support an instant DDL. Having our new data dictionary in 8.0 provides a strong basis for this.

The larger vision is a 4 step mission, described in our Keynote from last year:

TBH the package manager for applications thing that was described is just Docker, you don't need Kubernetes for that.

Kubernetes makes more sense if you're running big clusters of systems.

Royalties are way high compared to some of the other mature commercial toolkits out there (like Altia or VAPS).

Last time we quoted for our smallish product (1-2K EAU), Qt wanted $5 or $6/unit, purchased in blocks of 1,000 licenses at a time. That was too much of a hit on our BOM, so we went LGPL and haven't looked back.
It's incredible how myopic this article is towards web development SaaS products.

There are a whole slew of SaaS products for business applications that have nothing to do with what the author is talking about (think SalesForce, Workday, ServiceNow, etc) that totally eclipse the Segment, mParticle, etc's of the world, in terms of size, complexity and

The "what comes next in SaaS" is predicated on what become before SaaS, which was license software that businesses had to maintain. The next evolution of SaaS, IMHO, is one which requires zero consulting/integration/implementation. I dare say "AI" will change that, but this is the biggest friction to new software production adoption.

Observe also that Chapoly, which is built on a stream cipher generated from a hash running in counter mode, written by basically one of the pioneers of ciphers-from-hash-constructions, does not use its hash core as its MAC; it's simply faster to use a polynomial MAC.

That still would limit the number of politicians who appreciate your niche political issue. Especially considering the cliche politician is a lawyer from a well known private school who gives preference to friends or friends of friends.

Eliminating money from that scenario reduces the tiny number of companies who currently influence politics and push it closer to 'interesting' or 'popular' issues rather than ones backed by incumbent connections and wealth.
All the node names are effectively useless now. A good rule of thumb is that TSMC 7nm ~= Intel 10nm and they're shipping at approximately the same time.
Yes, I realize that in the 'developing' world that's the norm, but the parent comment mentioned 'first world' countries.
KSP has been extremely successful financially. The staff problems likely come from Squad not being a game studio. It was a marketing agency, and KSP grew out of an employee's passion project.

I am using very similar techniques on my hour long bus ride to work and back. An extra benefit to commuting with public transit, if you ask me.

I got so sick of checking the same apps on my phone over and over when I got bored during the ride. Really felt like I was doing my brain a disservice.

I've finished a book or more each month. If my reading slows to a halt, I stop, watch the passengers or look outside the window, and acknowledge my thoughts. Depending on how much is on my mind, it can take a while to begin reading quickly. Some days, I don't read quickly at all. Other days, I don't want to stop reading when I finally have to leave the bus lol.

Because I've been doing this every day for about a month, my habits are leaking into other free time I have in the evenings and weekends. I feel way more aware of when I'm browsing the net for quick bursts of dopamine vs. when I'm actually seeking knowledge and/or conversation.
If your drop shipping I would put that in a shipping section. Also, I personally wouldn't use supplier images.

I think what's really interesting is that the US seems to have so many of these economically broken places, and yet GDP per capita in the US is the highest of any large country (and higher than all but a handful of small countries). I'm not saying you're wrong, I just think it's interesting that we can have these obvious large problems and still be economically successful in spite of that.
How Machine Learning Is Helping Us Predict Heart Disease and Diabetes
I think the point is that the rate of advancement has already slowed (18mo=>3yr) and is slowing even further (5nm by 2025). The treadmill Moore's law is basically over. There will be significant advancements (AllAroundGate, Wafer Stacking), and we might even see a speed increase again, but the steps are more orthogonal and less all improving. The last thing to keep improving is $/transistor, while MHz and power long since (2005=>2010) stopped getting better with each node. However, if the CFOs ever figure out that the return doesn't meet investment ... that will be the end (at least in the west).
Reliable hacker

Also apparently GloFo is developing its own 7nm process (its ancestry was at IBM before GloFo bought them iirc) but not licensing Samsung like with 14nm.
It is simpler, but how meaningful is that in practice? HMAC is universally available in crypto libraries, far more so than SHA-3 is, and since HMAC needs to interoperate (even more so than ciphers do), it's practically never botched in code.

I sort of object to the idea that HMAC is complicated, also. It's more complicated than KMAC which barely deserves a name, but any intern can implement HMAC reliably from the diagram on the Wikipedia page. Hash twice, domain-separating each hash with a simple constant. Done.

The only implementation flaw stemming from HMAC in real systems is shared by KMAC (variable-time comparison functions).
"Freedom" doesn't mean living wherever you want and having every option available to you. It means choosing to live in places that offer the amenities you desire.

Can we try to get through one thread on HN without frothing at the mouth about how much we hate cars? Message received, you happen to be in a situation where you don't need a car — I am genuinely happy for you, as well as envious. But it is not necessary or helpful for someone to bang on about it in every single thread that has anything to do with building stuff. It doesn't help anything, and it just annoys people who don't have your good fortune and feel like you're agitating to take away something they need.
