> I'm not sure what you mean by this, because "to come from" isn't a verb, and you can't simply declare that it is.

"ab·fahren" is analyzed as a verb in German, even though it is clearly a verb with a detachable prepositional particle which modifies that verb.

Let's look at some English examples:

stand up, stand out, stand in, stand down, stand by, stand back, stand for

These all have drastically different meanings from both each other and from the verb "stand". I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be analyzed as individual verbs, same as the German ones. Do you have an actual reasoning behind not analyzing them in that way?

And this isn't just some strange idea that I, random internet person, am spouting either:

It is better.
In my state, a contractor was paid to build a major highway using concrete pavement. If done properly, such a road should last 40 years or more, and without the thumpity, thumpity sound you get when the concrete is not put down properly.

The contractor was not experienced and totally muffed the job.

Rather than penalizing the contractor, they paid the contracter to build the road again, plopping asphalt on top of the concrete after grinding the concrete and redoing the joints that they screwed up. The asphalt hasn't lasted that long, so it will need to be redone again soon.

So, the contractor was inept, but so was the government overseer.
The use-case in which I got to see a lot of CSVs was in a data importing tool. Personally, I think that everyone should just use UTF-8. But since a lot of people don't do that, we were forced to try guessing the encoding while providing a preview, along with a way to try manually try other encodings.

I think the only other time I've seen something that hacky has been with a date parser that would try to guess the format for you. That pushed me to the firm belief that ISO8601 is the only sensible way to store dates.

SHA-2 of vulnerable to length extension attacks.

SHA2 is vulnerable to length extension attacks the same way as bread is vulnerable to being buttered. If you're using bread and you're worried about buttering, you fundamentally misunderstand what bread is.
Speaking personally, I've never managed to work out any real, practical concerns with devices, services, and situations like this. To start, I haven't seen any reason to be more concerned about Google Home than I am about my Pixel phone, which is not only "constantly listening", but also accompanies me everywhere I go outside my home.

I never leave my phone somewhere else when I'm at home, so... what's the difference if I add an extra microphone/speaker to the system already in-place?

Even besides that, I've never managed to work out what people who cite privacy concerns are actually worried about; I've never managed to come up with any scenario that both seems worrying and seems to me like it has any plausible chance of actually happening.

If we imagine a hypothetical counterfactual world where Google records everything ever spoken in my home or near my phone, retains these records forever, and analyzes them and uses the analysis to choose which ads to show me, and promptly responds to any requests by law enforcement for recordings with no hesitation or review process, and recordings are available for people at the company to listen to... what would happen that I would be upset about? Fewer poorly-targeted ads? Law enforcement having a slightly more-trivial time than usual locking me in a cage if I happen to offend a law-enforcement officer? Someone I'll never meet listens to me having sex?

It might be the case that I just happen to have a life situation that's uniquely stable and not susceptible to being fired for political opinions or whatever the risk is... but I don't think my attitudes and risk evaluation here are really all that unusual. I speculate without evidence that most people just really don't care if they're being watched unless it's going to have practical consequences.
I don't understand this mentality. Apple often enters into "crowded" markets and then establishes either a clear winner, or a strong contender. The market's existence removes any question of whether people are buying, so... what's the problem? They just shouldn't do it because other people make them already?

Lots of others make laptops, smartphones, headphones, set-top boxes... and yet, and yet. They still turn quite a profit.
>the Jews can pretend that they aren't playing up a minor holiday just so their kids don't feel bad around the solstice

Who's pretending? We know that's what we're doing. The real thing going on is that in the Diaspora we play up Hanukah because we're playing down the High Holy Days, Sukkot, Passover, and Shavuot -- which are actually the religiously important holidays.

If you visit Israel, society basically shuts down for varying lengths of time around all of those, depending on how long the religiously prescribed holiday actually is, what restrictions it entails on observant lifestyles, and how quickly it's followed by another holiday.

If we tried this in the Diaspora, we'd all be fired for taking too much time off.

The really interesting question - does the modest increase in initial velocity and altitude with a boost out of the lower atmosphere make it practical to build a Single Stage To Orbit rocket? If they can, then it's an impressive achievement. If not, then it doesn't really seem worth the trouble.
Very interesting. Thanks for the demo and references!
It sounds like you're right.
You can also fly towards the equator before the launch for more boost. Further from the Earth's axis.

For example Cape Kennedy is 28 degrees north. If you fly to the equator, you get another 200 m/s.

Depends a bit to which orbit you're launching though.

Another good thing is flexibility if you are more constrained by launch windows in a stationary launch location. Hard to explain.

I disagree. Look at Portugal, which decriminalized opioid use and started viewing it as a treatable medical condition. They went from the highest to one of the lowest rates of opioid use in Europe.

In theory, its hard to say addicts don't have treatment options. If you're ensured the same guys will give you methadone, and public clinics exist. If you fall off the grid its much harder, especially because public treatment options which are mostly free, do require tedious screening. In that case its a matter of implementation. The real issue is that many treatments have a poor success rate.

More than that, a block cipher is a keyed permutation — that is, many permutations selected by the key, soooo by fixing the key we can have an unkeyed permutation and use it for sponges!

Or... BLAKE2 uses ChaCha permutation, but includes additions of key words to turn it into a block cipher, and then uses this block cipher in a MD-like construction. Metamorphosis...

Of course, if you take some block cipher, fix the key, and make a sponge from it, nobody guarantees that it will be secure. Just like trying to build a block cipher from some permutation will not result in anything good. So it's not on the same level as building higher-level secure things (such as PRNG) from a primitive.

I think what I'm trying to say is: in crypto you can indeed build many things from other things.

European doctors didn't prescribe the same stuff American doctors prescribed, and unlike the US if you did get something prescribed it was easier to keep the prescription (so you didn't turn to heroin, etc).
The Cortex-A series are big processors. They're generally used when compute power is more important than power consumption. While it's a promising benchmark, the RISC-V will need to compete with the M-series (and other 8/16 bit cores) to break into the IoT market.
Do you have anythings to say about nats.io?
I disagree. If we want to get into numbers sure there is some percentage who first had a prescription. I'm also sure there are plenty of people who started using when they were flowing freely and cheaply as a recreational drug. I know where I grew up, plenty of people were using without having it prescribed. It was incredibly easy to get bulk amounts across the country, for example Florida: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/us/01drugs.html

What the other poster is talking about is the reaction to someone being hooked, looking the other way and/or not treating it as a mental health issue and putting them in rehab instead of jail.

Then, imo, if you really want to get into it, destabilization in Mexico has created the actual heroin epidemic we see now, as the pill mills and doctors involved have had their operations closed.

It seems like air launch doesn't buy you a whole lot, but it turns out that a small win on delta-v can result in a fairly big win on payload. This might seem counter-intuitive, but you have to remember that in orbital class rockets, payload is only 5% or so of total mass at take-off.

When he issues a bond, he takes a piece of paper (perhaps not literally...) and stamps "Venezuela will pay bearer $1000 on 1 January 2025" (or whatever) on it. When he sells it, he gives the piece of paper to someone else and in return they give him money, theoretically the present value of the bond. The discount between the two amounts is mostly an indication of Venezuela's creditworthiness, but of course a portion of the difference is just a reflection of the discount rate for assets to be delivered in future. This is exactly the same as when any other entity issues a bond.
That's the obvious part of it. One would except laguage spoken by non-native speakers to lose most of the complexity in inflection. But what about, for instance, how the same word can be used as distinct lexical categories. The extreme case of the phenomenon is to use proper name as a verb: Houdini yourself out of a situation. In Chinese I've seen a text describing how killers of king Wu were going to "wu" his minister.

Just as dangerous as terrorists? According to this https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm655051e1.htm, in 2014 alone, there were 28,647 deaths from opioids in the US.

In the last /decade/, it depends on how you do the math, but it was less than 100 people. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/oct/...

Portugal didn't have pharma companies and doctors selling opioids as being safe to regular people.

That is what makes the USA unique - it's almost impossible to be prescribed strong opiates anywhere else in the world, let alone to be told that they're safe.

We're using nats for synchronous communication, sending around 10k messages each second through it.

Must say that the stability is great, even with larger payloads (over 10MB in size). We're running it in production for couple of weeks now and haven't had any issues. The main limitation is that there is no federation and massive clustering. You can have a pretty robust cluster, but each node can only forward once, which is limiting.
People need to be able to replace opioids with safer alternatives. Cannabis, kratom, etc. Not going to work for everybody of course but many people will probably be saved that way.

Doctors initially started recommending patients take it more frequently​, but the drug maker new it's only real benefit was the 12 hour pain relief.

So they mounted a campaign to convince doctors to increase dosages instead. This was apparently the more harmful of the 2 options.

OT, but there was a great site from this era (2005 or so) that I cannot remember the name of. I think it was the portfolio of another japanese designer, or at least I think it had a japanese name. The whole website was in Flash, and it consisted of literal hundreds of small demos (labeled with a progressive number), for example I remember a series of different clocks with creative design and animations, or many pseudo-games where you moved your mouse or click on abstract shapes and stuff happened. I think at some point it also had a page where users could move a pointer with the mouse and all other online users could see all the movements in real time, or something like that. Does it ring a bell for anybody? I've been thinking about it for years but I absolutely cannot remember what it was called...
Apologies for what might be shameless self-promotion, but if you're interested in this idea, you might like my 2012 project , "The Kuramoto Model (1,000 Fireflies)."

Since the Orbital ATK Pegasus already exists and already has a customised plane it launches from, can we assume launching Pegasus is just phase 1 for this plane? If that's all it's going to do there would be no point. So presumably this has capabilities the current Pegasus launch plane doesn't have, and eventually we'll see it launching something like a Pegasus XL Plus? Do we have any indication how big a rocket this thing can carry?

Also, I wonder how this compares in capability to the XS-1 currently under development, which will be a vertically launched first stage rocket that can fly back for a runway landing.

What do you use to give technical presentations?
We introduced a lunch-n-learn in my team, and I often find myself bouncing between various presentation tools. I often demo code, and use graphs (e.g. for performance testing). I haven't really found a tool that suits me for this.

I've tried using reveal.js [1] and writing HTML slides, which is fine, but really slow. I've tried keynote, but it's slightly irritating and it annoys me that it doesn't have nice, plaintext files that I can easily store in a git repo (and use across platforms). I can't stand powerpoint so that's out (and I don't even have it on my mac). I have contemplated LaTeX, but haven't tried it for presentations (I've written many papers with it, however, so I don't imagine the learning curve will be that steep).

There will be loads of people on here who give technical presentations, so I ask you: what do you use and why?

Anecdotally Oxy has been in short supply for nearly a decade. Purdue was sued in 2006 iirc and OCs were scarce within a couple years of that.

If we accept your point; which I do; why the fuck didnt the doctors catch on for 10 years w/ similar generics.
I feel that tptacek's point is that excessive cipher agility in TLS precluded adoption of AEAD (and "unconventional" modes in general), because it was built on assumption that the interchangeable primitive is the block cipher itself (ie. keyed primitive that transforms n bit input to n bit output) and not the combination of cipher+mode (which transform arbitrary length input into some, preferrably longer, output). You cannot plug AEAD into framework that expects block cipher and MAC.

(Due to how all this is really implemented, this in fact was not technical problem, but problem of "design culture" or something like that)
Yes. But did he know that?

This is the Renaissance we're talking about; I wouldn't be at all surprised if he just picked the experiment he wanted and laughed off the rest, applying Petrarch's style of rhetoric in the sciences.
Their patients did tell them that it wasn't lasting long enough, and then Purdue leaned heavily on doctors to just increase the size of the doses rather than decrease the interval between then.
