*fastest in software on 64 bit platforms without hardware instructions.

Note that it doesn't have the hardware instructions that are going to be common place for SHA-256 and SHA-224. Also if you have a 32-bit ARM phone (which is most phones in existence), it will take a hit on performance. That's because SHA-512 has 64-bit word size while SHA-256 has 32-bit word size.

I thought I had the winner with SHA-256, but looks like I blanked on the fact that SHA-256 is susceptible to length extension attacks while the truncated versions of SHA2 are not.

So I'll say SHA-224 is the optimal choice because even if you are running on 64 bit platforms, the hardware instructions will make it faster than SHA-512. Also insisting on higher security than SHA-256 is not a very smart move. SHA-256 offers more than enough security margin.
Admittedly, that belief was driven by the repercussions of failed bets on the future. Just look at pension contributions and retirement returns from the 60s to the 80s.
Amazon refuses to even sell Chromecasts or Apple TVs and lies about it if you contact customer support. I've been told that "it's just out of stock", that "we had too many complaints", and even "Apple refuses to let us sell those products".

It's why I canceled Amazon Prime (Funny, after being a customer for over a decade, with Prime since it was offered, cancelling was a single click, with zero follow-up or attempt at retention. Not even a "Oh, hey, why did you decide to cancel after so many years?")
Any reasons why?

How to take control of Kubernetes in Production
Imagine you are trying to use a neural network to classify single bit data as either being 1 or 0 (I know you obviously don't need a neural net for this, but it's an example). Aside from not needing a very deep network, you would not need much training data.

Then imagine classifying the color of a single pixel as "light" or "dark". There's three dimensions-- red, green, and blue. You would also need much less training data here than if you were trying to train a network to recognize a car, right?

I think this is what zeroxfe is referring to
I would recommend updating this to describe ReplicaSets[1] over ReplicationControllers. They are very similar and serve the same purpose, but the huge difference is that ReplicaSets have selector support -- meaning that you can require N replicas of pods that have X selector (rather than requiring N replicas of pods with the exact same spec).

Unlike the self-driving car project, a voice-driven assistant is not an option for Apple. It's an essential piece of the next-gen OS, and if they get locked out of it, the iPhone is not going to be enough to save them. They need to be in the car and on the TV (and everywhere else), and voice is key to that kind of ubiquity.
Federal Highways in the US are designed to increase national security. The best example is certain bridges are in certain places so that their destruction would cut off the easy path for mobilized enemy armor. They're designed to be easily blown up on purpose.
I think even in Sweden, Norway, and Finland the population is concentrated in the warmer south part of the country.
UC Berkeley has had functional RISC-V silicon for years now as research devices. RISC-V hasn't really been a thing outside of their architecture research group for more than a few years now. The UCB-BAR also has some fairly decent RISC-V cores (BOOM and Rocket) available as open source RTL.
Some of it is PR: some parts have gone badly (redevelopment of Whitechapel station comes to mind), but by and large it has gone to plan (albeit using almost all of its risk time, AFAIK!). They've by and large kept their cards quite close to their chests about things going wrong, though.

The worst parts, by and large, have been around the existing railway infrastructure: dealing with long-disused parts of railway infrastructure (partly buried and exact design and current state unknown) and with currently used infrastructure without long-closures (as well as Whitechapel, the electrification of the GWML out to Reading comes to my mind, with all its problems, which is really a separate project but Crossrail cannot run beyond Heathrow Junction without it complete).

> You can trust Amazon to be better at security than you are.

Unless you have more access to Amazon internals than everybody else, then you can't really know that for sure. Even if you did, it's only true if you've decided to let it be that way. There's nothing stopping a company from hiring great security people, and implementing their own great security.

Also, there are many scenarios, like a defense contractor handling sensitive information, where I would expect the the in-house (or in-government, I guess) security to be a lot better than Amazon's.
Speaking at a conference vastly increases its usefulness, especially if you get a slot on the first day, as people will then come to you for the rest of the conference to talk about stuff. It takes a bit of work up front (although - are there really people who rehearse for hours, apart from TED style performance-talks?) but it makes the conference itself easy cruising, and you get information and energy from it you never get when you're just listening to speakers and having to go 'hey, so who do you work for' a few dozen times over coffee breaks.

Venezuela cannot produce USD dollars out of thin air. If their monetary regime allows it, they may print Venezuelan bolivar at the cost of raising inflation in the country.

When we say "Venezuela issues a 2.8 billion USD bond" that means that the central bank sells new bonds denominated in USD on the international market (most likely an auction among bank players in London or NY).

What had happened here is that they did that and then unbeknownst to them one banker sold their bonds to another banker. The act of reselling that debt on the secondary market does not magically increase that debt. It just changes whom you have to repay it to.
Yes, quantum tunneling is a real problem and has been an increasingly dangerous issue as the nodes shrink. Three interesting proposals to try and mitigate the issue are:

1. TFETs, aka Tunneling FETs, harness the leakage current itself to drive the transistor.

2. Quantum well FinFETs, use the quantum well to constrain the electron movement and circumvent the problem.

3. This is more of a stopgap measure, but the usage of SiGe FinFETs with FD-SOI.
Databases run fine in containers; conceptually there's very little difference between that and running outside of one. The burden is on yourself to know how to manage it.

Specifically, Kubernetes provides the tools to "pin down" the database to the extent you want/need: Stateful sets, node affinities, QoS classes, nodepools and so on. You want to avoid OOMkilling the database, you want to dedicate the appropriate amount of resources to it, you may want to dedicate a specific type of hardware to it, etc.

It's not for beginners, but nor is it anything like the disaster you portray it as.

The more traditional route converts dirty USD into game company revenue.

Step one is recruiting some people to be a "customer" of your game. You give them $500 of dirty money, they go visit various retail establishments and buy $450 worth of pre-paid cards, then spend the balances on those pre-paid cards buying stuff from your game. Various banking institutions and app marketplace owners take their cuts, you wind up with clean money earned from selling premium coins to your "customers", which you then report as taxable income and use for whatever legal-market purposes you want.

So, the short of it is that it's a two-part scheme. Part 1 converts undocumented cash into pre-paid debit cards. Part 2 converts the balance of those cards into business income from selling digital goods. The receipt of cash gets offloaded to retail establishments that routinely handle such transactions. The delivery of goods is cheap and verifiable, and the payment for those goods goes through legitimate channels.

Compare to laundering money through a literal laundromat. If you double the sales through putting dirty money into the laundromat's cash deposits, you ought to be using twice as much power and water. Auditors can find that out. Selling twice as many virtual battleships, though? You've got customer accounts you've "delivered goods" to.
>I didn't exactly invent a feudal power structure from whole-cloth, here.

No doubt. You did posit it as the alternative, however. Mentioning the idea that some people are ok with indentured servitude (freedom to relinquish your freedom) and try to claim that liberty is the ultimate virtue of these same people seems quite odd.

If the price of the service working (or not working) is disproportionately large compared to the price of your lost business, that's a problem at your end: you needed to calculate the risk vs return for redundancy.

Eg, if your Internet costs $100/mo, but you'd lose $100/hour when it's down during business hours, buy a fallback connection from a competing ISP. ;)
> You" as an entity are really just a process emergent from chemical reactions on some area, and your "will" is just the result of feedback between many regions of that process and outside stimuli.

Agreed.

> Biological evolution is a process happening in more dispersed reactions, but still has all manner of internal feedback mechanisms and responds to external stimuli.

Disagree. Evolution does not "respond to external stimuli", there is no "internal" or "external" as far as evolution is concerned, that's like saying "erosion responds to external stimuli"; "it" does not respond, "it" is a description of a process.

> I don't see how you've drawn a meaningful distinction between them, except to say that one os easy to observe in total (eg, you can draw a box around it) and is sort of like you, so you feel you can understand it.

I can't draw a box around it because it is not a thing with a position in space unlike "you" which is.

> Homeostasis and physical locality don't seem partocularly germane traits when discussing whether or not something has a will.

Of course it does, if words are to have any meaning at all. Whatever it is you're trying to describe that is common between an organism and the description of physical process is not called "will" by any useful definition of the word. It's like if I said "evolution has no guiding principles" and you replied "well neither do humans really because our 'guiding principles' are just the result of a deterministic evolutionary process", but that's not true because "guiding principles" is a human concept that applies to beings that reason about their environment, even if the foundation of that reasoning is determined by constituent factors.
English in those different places is still English. There are different accents and dialects, but they're generally considered the same language.

$4000 in repairs a year? What kind of clunker are you driving?
Is inefficiency inefficiency when it's done on purpose? That's what the article misses. The salaries of workers might not be higher than in other countries, but I bet what we pay contractors vs. what they produce is beyond astronomical. It certainly is when government contracts out software. With modern computing, I don't see why we don't keep track of costs down to the penny. A new hammer is bought to continue construction? The receipt is scanned and everything is tracked. You don't scan it, you don't get reimbursed. All actual costs are known and the profit margin can be calculated from there. It might not help that much until more data is collected and future projects can be estimated better using that data, but it sure as hell beats the current model of guessing the lowest estimate to get the contract, getting the contract, and then spending 10-1000x the estimate.
I love the 10 minute or so montage in wargames where David just goes to libraries to do basic honest research on falken, in order to figure out what his password is. Of course, he should have tried Joshua like a week before he actually did, but you can't have everything.

And that's not counting knowing where the school password post-it note is kept, and getting yourself sent to the principal on a regular basis so you can keep looking it up.

Or just letting your computer run for an entire day to determine which phone numbers in a given set of area codes have modems on the other end.

Wargames does take a few shortcuts for storytelling, and it is a bit silly in the best possible way, but the actual hacking is genuinely good, and not boring.
Retired as govt engineer. Reported a security violation, employees sharing passwords/account on a secured network.
The 2 contractor ITs claimed to know nothing about it. At most only a handful of employees have access to the network and at most, but rarely 3 work on the network at the same time. If the contractor ITs were not aware, and they never are more that a few feet of the activity, they should have been fired. Management moved me to an isolated area and began the slow process of retaliation, so as not to look like retaliation. To their surprise, I walked away from my job. BTW, the supervisor I was reassigned too, told me not to report any more observations. I am not a fan of contractor support, and I see no reason to use such infrastructure such as Amazon to store any data, especially sensitive data.

I do similar things with my iPhone 6S. I say "Wake me up at 7" just about every week night, and then "Turn off my alarm" when I get out of bed in the morning. Realizing I could do this is why I started using my phone as my alarm; I wasn't about to fuss with the app every night and morning.

What baffles me is that opening some apps is not allowed without unlocking the phone. I should be able to say "Hey Siri, open NPR One" while washing the dishes. And I can, but it tells me I need to unlock my phone - but I used my voice because I have soap all over my hands, so no thanks.

> What is regularly?

That's really the relevant point here: at what point do the savings of an electric car make it such that renting another car for the longer trips still ends up with that coming out on top?

There's definitely a long tail of people who drive further regularly for whom electric cars won't be so practical.

Interesting view. I would myself say I've tried a lot of things and I wish I could be contempt with what I have, but it just never works out this way. However I'm totally open for suggestions, since I'm really willing to try anything (but "suck it up").

Also I have tried figuring out what's wrong/different about me and I have no answer. I've actually have had situations where I'm grateful for having a job at all, but the positivity only lasts a few weeks.

KSP taught me that orbital intercept to rescue Watney was nosense. (The book was slightly more believable here). also the whole swing by Earth and head back at the last minute was wrong. Orbital intercepts between planets requires very precise timing and alignment. A transfer from Mars to Earth is never going to line up with an instant return transfer window back to Mars.

On KSP itself, huge weakness for me in the game is that it is virtually unplayable stock. Absolute minimum you need to install a data providing mod like Kerbal Engineer Redux for both building rockets to quickly assess dVs and TWRs etc and in flight to help with figuring out burns etc. In stock you are reduced to having to use spreadsheets to build rockets and trying to land from visual clues only. The stock game badly needs something like KER. KAC is also helpful to quickly find transfer windows etc.

The article says that the developers expect companies to add their own features and support, so I guess we're just waiting for some established player or startup to pick up the ISA and roll something out with it?

But it specifically says "same model as Linux", and that bothers me because RISC-V is not an operating system, and I'm not sure that Linux's business model is appropriate here...

Because Modern Hebrew has been learned by a significant amount of adult learners who speak languages from different families, it has undergone a great deal of simplification. Modern Hebrew reference grammars of the 1950s have a number of rules that are no longer observed.Sociolinguistically, too, Hebrew feels easier to learn because with a huge foreign-born population learning the language in adulthood, Israelis are perhaps more tolerant of mistakes than speakers of other languages.
Fair enough.

For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that arm, mips and riscv also have 16-bit ISA extensions to achieve better density.

Move? Yes. Store? As little as possible. Chinese capital controls just means that the USD/Renminbi trade gets split into USD/BTC and BTC/Renminbi with an "arbitrage opportunity" against the official exchange rate that fairly compensates people for eluding capital controls.

With this process, it doesn't matter if BTC is trading at $1 or $1000. Chinese citizens can convert the maximum allowed from Renminbi to USD, buy bitcoins in USD, sell those bitcoins for Renminbi, and pocket the spread.

It's a lot better than people think fusion rockets would be in real life. But the writers actually acknowledged that, in the episode that goes into the drive's history. They had fusion rockets before Epstein, they just weren't near as good before the breakthrough.

And most of the story wouldn't even change if it took longer to go places. The only difference would be that they couldn't show normal gravity inside a spaceship and attribute it to acceleration. It's a slight distortion that saves them money on special effects.
