Thank you for saying this. WF needs a half dozen unskilled workers to stock shelves, and about 6 dozen skilled laborers in the trades you mentioned. Do you think a 21-day dry-aged steak can be made by someone that just showed up during a high school job fair with zero training? Would you eat it?

The encryption actually is KECCAK-256, not SHA-3. However, if you are using a library built for Ethereum it'll be called SHA-3.

When Ethereum was being developed, the spec for SHA-3 wasn't finished or something: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/550/which-crypt...

It sounds like you have it under control but I typically point people to Dave @ https://walletrecoveryservices.com/ for the less tech-savvy. He's pretty good. You can look at his site for what he can and can't crack. I know he's super super busy but it never hurts to give him a shout and ask him if he has any pro-tips or open-source code somewhere. A ping from someone who has a basic understanding of encryption might be refreshing.

12 words of 1626 characters is almost exactly 128 bits, which is what is typically accepted as cryptographically secure.

We added a checksum though and then grabbed 256 bits instead of 128, so the numerical alignment no longer applies sadly.

It would take about 0.5 seconds of brute forcing for the library to figure out if you had gotten a word wrong, so that's actually reasonable.

It is common, generally-accepted knowledge in the audio industry.

All the trigonometry symbols look too much alike. (Small round things with small scribbles of size of the ant's leg attached to them).

Likewise, base-8 numerals look fun. However, one benefit of the regular numbers is that they look both pleasant and distinctive from each other in the flow of the regular text. Both in print and also if written by hand (at least if you add the extra horizontal bar to the 7).

Actually, if one were to adopt all of the proposed notation, it appears that one might lost in the forest of slightly different combinations of arrows that mean different things.

The quantifier notation is the only thing I actually might like. (It's also backwards-compatible.)
Not true. It's very hard for restaurants to find skilled cooks nowadays because the salaries they are willing to pay are not high enough. When an artisanal pastry chef can open their own business, setup a Stripe account, and make six figure income, you know a restaurant only willing to pay $45K for a skilled chef is going to have a problem...
Have you ever heard of physics? The pressure that the gasket can withstand is tied to the clamping pressure the circumference of the gasket and its cross section.

It works ok with watches that have a very small area and can use double gaskets which are clamped very very strongly.

The same thing will not work with a mm or thiner piece of plastic that is kept in place by its flex and a few hooks.

If you can design a chassis with a replaceable battery which is waterproof and is not substantially thicker than modern smartphones a lot of companies would like to have a chat with you.
> The problem is the busts probably aren't worth preserving sculpturally (they're competent, but not evocative), and part of the perceived "art value" is being made of a weird material.

> I'll use risky terminology here: If a REAL artist wanted a "chocolate bust" - since the bust is purely a visual artifact - he would sculpt or mold it of a suitable material and paint it to look like chocolate. That's what a movie or theme park would use to convey the IDEA of a chocolate bust.

this is where many (myself included) will disagree with you. i don't think it's reasonable to discount the artistic value of making something of weird material. like any broad category of choice, that sort of thing won't inherently increase or decrease the worth of the piece. but as other posters have noted, that choice can be an inherently important part of the work's meaning, and it's not always possible to achieve the same thing through more durable means.

i think of art as a constant ongoing global conversation. it requires context. it can't be appreciated in a vacuum. sometimes part of the communication is "out of band" for the ostensible medium (think about the way body language or vocal delivery can undercut or augment the meaning of a set of spoken words). i don't believe there's such a thing as an inherently universally meaningful piece of art, or a truly timeless piece of art, and i don't really buy this idea that a "real" artist will do the best work within the proscriptions of the sorts of art that have come before. subversion (and even cheekiness) can be important artistic ideals as worthwhile as any other.

as implied above, i think all meaning in art is inherently deeply subjective. i think it's fun to talk about it like it's objective, and to talk shit about the "other side"'s viewpoint (whoever the other side may be in a given argument). but the other replies to your comment illustrate why i don't actually believe in the ideas of "real" art, or "high" art, or whatever.

i do believe that some art is inherently ephemeral, and some aspects of some more durable art are inherently ephemeral (e.g. performances of notated or recorded works). i don't believe that it's inherently crazy or unartistic to make something out of bologna that's unpreservable, because preservability isn't an inherent component of all good art.
> The fact that I've worked brutal fast food jobs for $3.35 an hour, yet you don't see KFC, McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc, being trashed here for terrible working conditions, while AMZN is, speaks volumes.

If it speaks volumes, those volumes are more about this being a tech-industry biased forum than anything else. We don't really talk about the fast food industry and it's working ccondition nearly as much (though, even so, the whole industry is often used as a shorthand for terrible working conditions even when discussing other things.)

Your idea that the fact that HN talks about Amazon more than the fast food industry is anti-Amazon bias and not tech-industry focus is interesting, but not particularly plausible. (Especially given that plenty of that talk is positive.)
> But the people who want the information want it to be free, so that they can get it for free.

Yes, and I also want every economic transaction in which I am demand side to be priced at zero. That doesn't mean that because I deign to buy something that I am unwilling to pay for it. Quite the opposite! I will pay for it up to what I value it.

> But all it takes is one person who paid for the information to decide to redistribute it for free, and the game is over for that bit of information.

Yes, and that is a problem with non-exhaustive consumption of a resource. This duplicatible nature of data is why data firms have contracts when they sell information. The information existing in their databases has no anthropomorphic yearning for liberty.
Well I guess you should not answer anything that compromise you. But pay attention to what they are saying, because it may prove that you should not trust these people and you now have a leverage against them if needed :)
Hypothesis is different from evidence. Your arguments roughly address the phrasing of my summary but don't back the full scope author's actual conjectures.

1, for instance, is not philosophical. He's literally carrying the metaphor down to additions and multiplications of waveform samples. There's no evidence that this is mechanistically similar to how our brain thinks, nor is there evidence that "easy" problems of addition are easy problems of our mind.

2 is an argument of strong evolutionary force... strong enough to overcome the fact that my emotional reactions to harmony will change my behavior, despite them not being a good signal of how to survive

And the rest is pure conjecture. I'm not saying it's a bad hypothesis. It's just not anything beyond hypothesis.
That's fantastic. My only complaint is that none of the lists' lengths are a power of two, but that's easily fixed by truncating one.
>This is a significant exaggeration, but I'm not going to dox you.

It really isn't. The big number in that charge is referring to coldfusion shells the local CERT was supposedly able to "validate".

At best you could blame the prosecutor for exaggeration, which I entirely agree with, the court however accepted the prosecutors claims.

>Good luck with that visa.

Haven't actually had visa issues anywhere since then :) Good passport I guess.

>Then name it. I have it memorized, and they've changed it, so it's a no-op.

No clue, people within the group disagreed on carding so the person who got it didn't post it on the channel, only dropping the cards of "interesting" individuals. I guess I'll go looking for the logs though.

>It's not brute forceable even by nation states, so you'd have had to extract it by means your entry vector did not give you. Hash it in your reply if you want.

As far as I know someone wrote a quick coldfusion script to extract the decrypted key from memory.

>I've always suspected you had former employee help, and I'm pretty sure I know not only exactly who, but also their motive for assisting you and "HTP".

This was certainly not the case.

>If you do have the passphrase to that key, I can almost promise it was from your assistance. I eagerly await your reply, since the passphrase is a sentence, and once you know it the gist of it is easily communicable without consulting logs.

Don't know, and I'd assume getting coldfusion to spit out the decrypted key is much easier than the decryption passphrase that's only needed once.

And in any case your approach seems fundamentally flawed. Even in some parallel universe where we failed to extract the key, we'd still have been able to use your existing decryption code and the in-memory key to decrypt all the cards in the database.

It would be interesting to do this same comparison with MariaDB.

I wonder if that project has managed to continue progressing while MySql seems to have regressed.

It's super easy for all of us on HN to say "Oh look Oracle ruined another thing". But it would much more interesting to have quantified results to compare from.
That's why there is MariaDB.
> Honestly, like 95% of people... @Raidion

If you have to use the word /honestly/ in your communications, this leads readers to believe that the remainder of your information is falsehoods.

Also, please link to the studies & polls that show %95 of users do not want serviceable, fixable, or user upgradeable laptops.

I doubt the veracity of your claim.

I haven't typed it since 2011 and still remember it; it's a stupidly simple English sentence that is almost impossible to not memorize. I also note that you and your group were challenged for it in 2013 and declined to provide it. But sure, go consult logs. I'll hold.

> but most people would just rather not pay

These people wouldn't pay no matter what you do so it's not really relevant. I'm talking about people who resort to piracy because they can't pay to get what they want. Or the value just isn't justifiable.

For example, I feel cheated when I have to wait months for content to be available in my country. Sometimes years (or not ever). So I go and download some torrent since I can't buy the content anyway. And now I'm one of the numbers on their spreadsheets.

If licensing is broken or too hard to manage, they should spent the money fixing that instead of going after "pirates".
I never meant to imply that was the case. As a person that hasn't been harmed by this company, I see this problem as having gotten out of hand and in need of intervention. As someone who has been harmed by other people, I find it troubling that some folks still continue to utilize a product that is actively causing harm to others, and violating their rights.

The fact is that given the heap of problems seemingly continuously coming out of Uber, the company doesn't seem to be changing, and these problems aren't slowing down.

Uber needs to change practice, and we need to communicate to the market that this behavior isn't acceptable via our wallets; they don't really seem to understand any other message. If it means that this company ultimately folds under the weight of these problems, so be it. The message needs to be clear to others: this is NOT acceptable.
you didnt even bother reading the start of the article, and the biggest reason why Musk wants to do this: to make our species multi-planetary. Not just because it's fun, but because, one day, an extinction event will come to Earth (eventually, an astroid is bound to hit us, its a statistical fact) so he wants to make sure humanity survives that event.

Also, it's a stepping stone to the next planet, and the next, and the next... Where do you want humanity to be in a thousand years, heck, even a million? Still only on Earth? Or out there, among the stars?
Allow me to defend my unicorn project:

Typewriters have some psychological usefulness. It's single function-focused (writing.) And objects which have strong emotional value can be very desirable too - hop over to Instagram.

And this one .. can be easily slipped in the pocket, like Nintendo DS.

With e-ink, even better. Longer battery life too.

You might be able to hook it up to a larger monitor.

As for printing. Micro-printers aren't new, some are as slim as rods. Abhorrently expensive though. Or alternatively that Polaroid pre-inked paper. Or just wireless printing.

One of the best advantages of storing writing in a computer is preservation. And if there's a tree-like elegant notebook installed (CherryTree is quite nice) even better.
Seems disingenuous at best to quote that out of context.

>I know the network and channel where you two hang out, so OK.

Then spit it out, name the network and channel, don't make vague accusations. I'm open about my beef with Linode, but what's your beef with me?

If this is supposed to be more than a pathetic attempt at discrediting me with false accusations, please follow through.
Got to keep those poor people away from the polls.

It's interesting how the government here - NL - makes it mandatory for those over 14 to have a photo ID of sorts at all times and charges money for those. A government issued ID should be free of charge, especially if it is required by the government to have one, and they set the prices.

That's still a lot better than the situation described in the article which seems to be engineered to simply keep people in the hole once they through misfortune or carelessness slip up. It's sad too that it should come to volunteers to correct such situations, you'd think that the government would really like its citizens to be able to take part in society rather than to be pushed even further into the fringes.
There may be competitive advantages to happy employees, but there's always a cost, and capitalism is about minimizing those costs. Again, if a business could get away with it, they would simply not hire anyone to keep costs down.

Simply put, human welfare is directly in contest with maximization of profits. This occasionally can result in being paid well—it's cheaper than hiring two people at a lower rate.

I'd stumbled across this and simply found it fascinating.

Letter-writing itself, as a widespread practice, is fairly new, it relying on post offices, stamps, and paper, and above all, literacy. The forms of letters written in the 19th century were very much defined by guidebooks and conventions.

Business writing itself is also highly formulaic, though it dropped much of the verbosity (and social grace) of earlier forms, discussed in this essay.

Messaging-as-technology, the protocols, conventions, forms, usage, and economics, are all mentioned, in particularly the induced demand created by easier communications, storage, and retrieval (or reversal as practices were limited or discontinued).

There's also the emergence of standard fields -- "From", "To", "Subject", "Date", and "In reply to", which actually predates the other four -- go Mutt and threaded discussion!

The influences on subsequent communications formats, particularly Email and Usenet, aren't mentioned, but are obvious.
This is not some new precedent really. There are pretty well defined exceptions to free speech and this falls far on the side of illegal speech. In specific this was speech explicitly inciting violence with a clear and present danger of succeeding.

This has already been established by previous cases. The only thing that was argued was whether her speech had a reasonable chance of inciting him to kill himself, which was proven in court by the prosecution.

Other than this, the trial is a textbook case of manslaughter similar to asking someone to light themselves on fire or inciting a riot.

You first, "Ryan." My beef with you is that you (a) hacked Linode, (b) dumped everything you found online, then (c) spend your days in every Linode thread trying to shit on them while pulling wool over HN's eyes as some kind of moral high ground just "obligatory warning" a bunch of people about your own fucking actions. You are not the moral high ground. Please stop pretending to be as some kind of authoritative voice. I've watched you do this for years, and it's starting to grate on me. I've disclosed I'm a former employee every time I speak about them, and I've also pointed out that I harbor no ill will for them: the people who run Linode, despite making mistakes, do not deserve this stalkerish behavior from you.

Move on with your life. You hacked them, you got busted, and sitting around like this four years later is just indefensible.

Edit: I'm remaining vague so as not to dox you, given HN guidelines and my own personal ethics. I don't have any stake in discrediting you (you do a fine job of that yourself), but you're welcome to spin it that way. Also, your clock ran out on being uniquely positioned to comment in 2014. (As did mine, though sooner.)
Just a random goal I gave myself (to do 31 consecutive actually) pretty cool experience because for the most part I ran with "Raven", a streak runner who has run 8 miles on south beach every day for 42+ years. [1] Obviously a guy who has run 124,000 miles (nearly 5x around earth or to the moon and back), through pain, through hurricanes, etc... is pretty inspirational. I ran 5-6 miles on the boardwalk on my own before the Raven Run usually having a peanut or almond butter sandwich and water between. I run for fun but that mileage is 3x the month before, all attributable to the somewhat arbitrary goal I gave myself.
I'd think even a dinosaur-killer-stricken earth with all kinds of climate and other problems would still be a lot more pleasant to live on than Mars. I mean, if you imagine an Earth that's been totally ruined in every imaginable way you're basically describing Mars, but still better because at least there's 1G of gravity and a really good built-in radiation shield.
