In addition to fpgaminer's excellent explanation, I highly recommend the book "Cryptography Engineering: Design Principles and Practical Applications" by Niels Ferguson, Bruce Schneier, and Tadayoshi Kohno. It's an excellent overview of how to use crypto primitives and why to use them that way.
For example this?

Ah yes, being called a troll by a systemd dev. At this point i would consider it a badge of honor.
Neustar Research has a good article on this which may be of interest to you. However, I think the approach they took was still based on the inclusion-exclusion principle (still a good read though).

Another approach if you have the flexibility of changing your implementation, is to use a different type of data-sketch that is more amenable to set expressions. There is some discussion (and references) here:

Maersk says global IT breakdown caused by cyber attack
The point isn't that having the central bank backing makes fiat infallible, it is that people will trust a private bank with the backing of a government controlling an economy on the scale of the US more than something without any guarantees at all.

Of course, with bitcoin, ether, and fiat, you don't need a bank. You can always keep your money yourself. Except with bitcoin and ether the ability to secure your own money is much more attainable for average people.

On the flip side, a lot of people conflate trust in web exchanges or bitcoin banks with the stability of the currency itself. Isolated, you have a reason to trust bitcoin way more than any state actor - its math, codified, and nobody can erase it now. On the other hand, state actors have force of violence if anyone breaks the money. If someone breaks bitcoin with an exploit in the blockchain, you are screwed without recourse. At this point, with the amount of participation it has, the bitcoin protocol should be considered robust - but that also is what translates into its valuation. It is only worth so much because it is proven through its long years of use.
Every minimum wage increase is different!

Even the staunchest free market economist wouldn't claim that a hypothetical minimum wage increase from $.10/hr to $.50/hr in Seattle would increase unemployment. And even the staunchest socialist economist would not claim that a minimum wage increase from $8/hr to $800/hr wouldn't increase unemployment.

Similarly, how can you compare an increase from $5-6 in New jersey in 2005 to one from $11 to $13 in Seattle in 2017? You can't extrapolate this stuff.

The question is not "Are minimum wage increases good in general?" the question is "Given the potential tradeoffs, is this specific minimum wage increase good?"

I'm just saying social constructionism isn't science but portrays itself as science. Biology is _specifically_ left out of the conversation on purpose because it conflicts with the theory. The theories found in a women's or gender studies course would be more valuable if they included relevant hard science instead of purposefully avoiding it. Just like how an EE program utilizes relevant sciences. Or linguists for another example.

I'm not a disgruntled person crack-potting here. This is a complaint of many highly regarded people who spend considerable time studying and critiquing these disciplines. Camille Paglia comes to mind.

So this is the part 2 to the "how to retire at 34" article from a few years back..

As the saying goes, “Insanity is repeating the same experiment over and over again, and expecting a different result.”

Respectfully, I don’t think you can attain a middle class income in CA by blogging. I pay $15/month for a New York Times subscription – and the NYT is still struggling.

As for your resume service, again respectfully, you don’t even provide your own resume (or even a URL to a LinkedIn profile) with your qualifications and education to prospective customers. Instead, you provide a rambling personal account as the basis for why people should hire you. If I did that to a prospective employer, my email would probably get flagged as spam and deleted.

Either you, or one of your sons (preferably all 3) needs to get a part-time job. Skimming your blog, you appear well enough to eat at McDonalds, Taco Bell, Starbucks and Dominos Pizza. Why not get a part-time job at one of them? You could probably score free meals, too. More importantly, it would build your (or your son’s) paystub history. Landlords and banks like to see a stable employment income.

In essence, you are already doing something that many employers like to see – showing up at the same place (the library) at approximately the same time, every day. Yet, you are getting no credit for this level of accountability.

You’ve mentioned that your income is trending upward. Unfortunately, “trending upward” is not enough for most landlords and banks. If you want the path of least resistance, your family needs to establish a regular, incoming paycheck.

Look, you've been on this path for 5.5 years. Maybe it's time to consider other ideas.
I was lucky enough to attend the NZTech Education Summit on the 26th and 27th of June.

And can speak to even cooler changes happening in NZ classrooms. In Campbell's Bay school they are running their classrooms similar to how scrum teams work. Teachers act as facilitators and the learning is student led. At the start of the week students get to choose their learning outcomes from things that must be done this week and optional subject areas. And the week plays out like a sprint where students plan it out, some like to do the most difficult things first others unwind on a Monday with group activities with friends. There a 4 classes that all share the same space for this, which is broken in a quiet zone, a collaborative zone, the makerspace and a few smaller glass rooms dotted around. Once kids are happy they have completed a learning outcome they just supply their learning evidence to their teacher and it gets ticked off (BAT).

I also got to here about Kauri Flats primary school that uses design thinking and works with local communities on projects as part of their learning.

These big changes are limited to primary school levels for now largely because of the regulatory assessments put in place at a secondary level. But after hearing from representatives of the ministry of education and the NZ Qualifications Authority, there is definitely room for change in the coming years.

Super cool stuff. And a big step towards the kind of skills needed to succeed in today's society.
The pervasive drinking culture in this country is a problem. More than 5% of the population suffers from alcoholism, and the more drinking is encouraged in the culture, the more likely someone will have a small problem turn into a full blown problem.

Young people especially are unlikely to judge their own propensity for alcoholism, so "encouraging a fun workplace culture" is not a good enough reason to use alcohol to attract a younger generation of workers.
If it's important, I've used https://cronitor.io/ in the past to make sure that it finished successfully (single monitor is free).

If it's unimportant, I'd probably just use a Slack webhook like pigpigs mentioned or a growl notification.
until we then add even more people to the earth and arrive at the same problem.

all these kinds of solutions need to be coupled with population management solutions.
Alright, let's consider that I'd generally not recommend saying "fuck you" to a colleague. What if I say "that's fucking weird" or "that's bullshit" — not really comparable to sexual harassment or pushing religion.
What do you mean by dynamic here, exactly? From what I understand, in Scala, types are statically inferred (at compile time, not at runtime). I'd call this a very nice feature to reduce boilerplate.

The employer is paying for that time, so... he should be doing something for the company.

Ideally, he'd tell them of his accomplishment and get a raise and a job helping other people automate their jobs, or something like that.
Most people would be pretty normal, a few smart a few stupid - normal curve.

But at least every single one of them would recognize that this short term is the most important of their lives and would not want to do things to piss off their friends & families when they return to their lives.

> The cost gets passed on to the consumer. So if everything costs more

What you are describing is a mythical concept that in economics is called the "price/wage spiral." This is not what actually happens (indeed one of Friedman's central theses was that inflation is driven by monetary policy and not by wage increases or increases in the price of natural resources). There are a bunch of factors that come into play - in a competitive market the salary increases would not be passed on to the consumer but would come from the profit of the business owners, increased automation, product and service substitution, etc.
You get to spend more time with your son. In a country with a terrible maternity and paternity leave policy, it's morally right to do whatever possible to spend more time with one's children. You are doing a great service to the country, as your child will turn out to be a more mentally healthy adult. Just for that reason (besides that you are providing value to your employer), keep going!

There's Redox, which is progressing nicely, already boots in a VM and on some real hardware, and has a GUI and networking, and is intended to be a real general purpose OS someday.

There's also intermezzOS, which is a (still being written) "build-your-own-OS" tutorial project that uses Rust.

It's also worth noting that Rust isn't magic and especially when doing very low-level stuff the use of unsafe blocks is unavoidable. On the other hand, by isolating unsafe behavior you know where it is and can test it very carefully and keep it as contained as possible.
My reply would probably be something like this, after checking it with a copyright lawyer:

Dear whomever it may concern at Zillow group,

As you do not have rights to the images are you authorised on behalf of the rights owners to issue DMCA take-down requests under title 17 of the United States Code under penalty of perjury?

Should this be the case I suggest you read Lenz v. Universal Music Corp., 801 F.3d 1126 (2015) in the 9th circuit which has just been refused certioari in the US Supreme Court (2017-06-19).

If you wish to continue this matter please submit a properly worded DMCA take down request.

Regards, ....

P.S. If you do continue this matter you obviously didn't read Lenz Vs. Universal and therefore I'll see you in court.
> The absence of evidence is not a proof, in either direction.

Not actually true! A common misconception. Absence of evidence when you'd expect to find it is actually extremely suggestive that a hypothesis is incorrect. It's key to the criterion of falsifiability.

> If someone believes something without evidence, and you do not believe it because of the lack of evidence, then you are both guilty of the same thing.

Also incorrect - the former is taking an unjustifiable position whereas the other is justifiable (and, in most cases, the null position).

Your coin example suggests you don't really grok this topic if you think it applies at all.
Except the same applies to translating almost any currency into any other. The Eurozone is fairly unique in the world in terms of lax currency exchange within itself - go try converting Yen or Rubles into GBP and see if you don't have to file anything.

Bitcoin absolutely is valuable. Some people even take it as payment, making it a currency. And moving around that currency is way more transparent and unencumbered than moving any form of fiat. Currency exchange is wholly up to what you want to convert it into and what exchange you are working with. And if that ends up involving your government... people in other parts of the world don't have that limitation. You can't blame the tech if your society chooses to inhibit it (as your PM is trying to do right now...).

Anyone agreeing with this should read The Next Revolution by ya boy Murray Bookchin. Libertarian Municipalism has the members of democratic citizen's assemblies of a town or city creating laws directly, and the representatives form a completely administrative role. By separating legislation and representation he even suggests that randomly selecting the delegates is completely reasonable.

The way I see it, this is the employer's problem. In a good company, what benefits the company, also benefits the employee. In this case the employee and the company have different incentives, and the company does not care enough to solve the problem of incentives.

There are many, easy ways the employer could solve this problem so that both parties benefit. The employee does not have the same ability to pursue mutually beneficial solutions, and is acting like a normal profit-seeking business would.
Male and Female Entrepreneurs Get Asked Different Questions by VCs
Fan broken after 6 months.

Keyboard broken.

When in sleep-mode, powers up, does bios self check, if something is wrong (e.g. fan), does a beeping noise on the same level as our smoke detection (!) alarm. But doesn't find the defect when booted with the Dell self test support app in Windows 10.

Very low battery time after 1 year.

Display is flapping up and down when opened.

Rubber bands at bottom fall of b/c glue doesn't hold.

Very load and strange noises when under moderate load - no clue where they come from (not the fan) - they depend e.g. on what is displayed (white, black, video, ...).

My mistake: I thought the GPU (most expensive available in the XPS13 back then) was more powerful.

The display is really nice though when working with Lightroom.

I can't attest to any legality of what McMansion Hell was doing. And I think she was well meaning in her goals--to keep people from buying and building oversized, poorly built houses--but there is still an underlying social class issue here. I was always hesitant to talk about McMansions with my friends, many of whom probably grew up in McMansions (and they already think I'm a snob).

Additionally, have you ever had a friend who came to you showing off a new purchase and you were tempted to tell them that there was an objectively better choice for them? If they don't take it personally and get offended (they probably will) then they'll at least feel really shitty and probably embarrassed. It's best to let them live in ignorant bliss.
DBus only uses XML for its introspection interface. There’s really no reason why you couldn’t switch it to anything else like tomorrow.

Specifically, DBus does not use XML for any message passing or data serialization. It uses its custom binary on-wire format.

Also to consume or provide DBus services you do not need to interact with any XML whatsoever (except maybe for Polkit but that’s not DBus).
When I read the first article I was torn as well; is it fair use? Maybe. Regardless of that, the most ridiculous thing is that Zillow doesn't own the copyright on these images either, so they have no standing to sue, and should just stop sticking their noses where they don't belong. Clearly they're just trying to silence someone who is critical of particular types of housing, which presumably they believe can have a negative effect on their bottom line.
"Big media corporation" is an exaggeration in that case. Peter Thiel's personal wealth is such that he could have bought out Gawker dozens of times over if it had been a publicly traded company. Gawker actually settled because THEY ("$BIG_CORP") lacked the resources to fight through the whole process, and decided to cut their losses.
Of course I'm not the arbiter, but there is a consensus (based on what works and is repeatable and doesn't require simply trusting based on faith) of what consists of reasonable evidence for a phenomenon. There are some gray areas, but psychic energy falls decidedly in the "extraordinary claims with a lack of evidence" camp.
With this method, you should be able to get major (ie. not colour) errors in sets of 300 to below 3%. Make that lower still by including a couple of extras of common and cheap parts.

For the remaining 1%, just send out a new pack entirely if the customer complains. It adds 1% to your costs. Big deal.
More likely that The Guardian weren't very good at finding any experts before or after the story. Apparently if you don't expose a distinguishable interface to the rest of the world journalist won't find you.

I moved from a small company to a large (IT for non-profit / University) and it was kind of an adjustment for me that when we all go out to lunch, at a pub, nobody orders a drink!

Admittedly we go out for lunch more often as a team here than at my old job, and there's a conference/travel budget for everyone in the whole group (which we didn't have at all at my old job, unless you were in sales). And we have seasonal gatherings where alcohol is provided, and we are allowed to put drinks on our expense report when traveling for conferences, although usually in my limited experience here, nobody would dare order more than one drink per meal and try to expense it...

So not really the same thing at all. But yeah, I've never seen anyone order a beer at lunch since I came here, and it was a bit shocking coming from somewhere with no conference budget, where a beer at lunch whenever the boss is paying was one on a short list of perks we did have!
> In a country with a terrible maternity and paternity leave policy, it's morally right to do whatever possible ...

This seems like quite a slippery slope. Who gets to decide what counts as an acceptable maternity/paternity leave policy? And surely you don't mean it's morally right to do literally whatever possible. Suppose I show up at my boss' house at night with a gun and tell her than unless she keeps paying me full wages as I spend all my time with my family, I'll shoot her. Is that okay? (I hope not!)

At best they could stop you from using their site. If they put terms in their ToS that are not legally enforceable, they'd never win a suit for breach of contract.
Zillow claims "we have an obligation to protect the interest of the copyright holders". If that obligation is contractual, they are acting as the agent of the copyright holder and should have the right to take legal action on their behalf. In fact they might be compelled to take legal action, even if that action puts them in a poor light as it does in this case. This is where I think Techdirt is missing the picture.
