From my reading so far, it sounds like ZeroKit's stores the private keys? Am I mistaken? Because if so, this is definitely not end-to-end encryption because ZeroKit is a middleman that can be attacked to gain access to keys.

Edit: It says ZeroKit doesn't have access to the password, so asking for clarification here - is ZeroKit running entirely on the client then? Or do passwords ever get sent to the server (even if they are not stored or are session encrypted)? If that is true, why does one need to make a ZeroKit API call? Edit again: Quote from the article "which enables you to log in a ZeroKit user on the server", perhaps cool that they have this option, but that is a huge red flag to me that there is a server side attack vector.

Full disclosure: I work on a competing system that has uses real end-to-end encryption. It works like this:

- First, PBKDF2 extend a user's password into a proof of work.

- Use that proof of work to AES encrypt/decrypt an ECDSA private key.

- Now use that private key AES encrypt/decrypt private data, or a public key of a trusted user to encrypt/decrypt private messages.

Note: The user authenticates strictly against their device, the password is never sent to any servers. Same with the private key, it can only be derived from a local process PBKDF2 extending the password (to prevent brute force attacks) and decrypting the private key with the proof of work. The private key is never shared or known by any middleman servers.

To read more about how this works, see a working prototype demo, and watch our 1 minute animated explainers on cryptography, check out this link: https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/auth (Note: All our code is MIT/ZLIB/Apache2 and open for auditing).
Hmm. I may have assumed you used it because it's referenced in your Code of Conduct as source material. Googling it more gives me multiple sources:

1. Node.JS (semi-fitting of my post) and Contributor Covenant (target of my post) per current site.

2. Citizen Code of Conduct per Reddit. Looks just like Contributor with same provision that people must follow the politically-dominant group's rules on every forum or be blocked. It claims to be derived from Django Code of Conduct (partly-political/partly-good) and a feminism wiki. The latter mentions things like "Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination" with long list following to be subjectively evaluated according to their politics. Just like my post again.

So, even if your people did one before Contributor Covenant, it's similar to that pushed by the same kinds of people shoving politics down everyone's throat with some of the same content. My post still stands with the correction that you borrowed from different leftist, control-freak politicians initially with minimal modification from the one I mentioned. Each of the source are very clear about their political agenda and intended censorship.

I use BA. I average about one order every 4-6 weeks. I'm also an avid cook, so at first it seemed like cheating/lame. However the workflow I've developed is to watch for weeks where 2 of the 3 options are something out of the ordinary that I'd never normally to think to make for myself, particularly when they use an out of the way ingredient.

Particularly for the latter purpose, I appreciate that they give me exactly what I need, because I probably don't want to use it again any time soon.
You're right, it's most certainly not! I wish someone could tell us how it is "elitist" to point out that some people are "smart" and some aren't. Not every person can be nor desires to be an engineer/surgeon/attorney and that's totally okay, the world needs big dumb jocks too.
It is important to note that not all of the on-chain solutions are cumulative.

Say that increasing the gas limit and swapping virtual machines does get you an 8x improvement each. After both are implemented, you don't don't have a 64x improvement, you have an 8x improvement.

All that raising the gas limit does is increase the maximum number of transactions per block. It doesn't matter how fast you can process those transactions if the gas limit is too low to fit all of those transactions into a block.

Ethereum is useful and novel and I am a fan. But we are a long, long way from being able to run something like Facebook on it. The "optimistic launch" dates are extremely optimistic.

Its amazing that a company whose main product is search has such a worthless search for their store. Its absolutely worthless unless you already know exactly what you want.

You have to use their general search product to find enough info to bring up the exact title you want to buy.

This post reminds me of about 70% of accountants. "Unless the tax code explicitly says you can do, it I'm not going to let you!" Then there's accountant that say "It's sort of a grey area, I suppose that makes sense, are you willing to defend it at audit?"

The whole system is designed to discourage risk; and so many people say "I won't write off what I'm entitled to because I fear an audit."

Then I hear stores about accountants that say "Well you're not flagged unless you're over X% of revenue on expenses in this category, so go ahead and increase it."

Like so many well defined laws, there's a lot of room for intepretation.

Usually the people who take a crap job like that simply don't spend that much time on intellectual pursuits to begin with. What it does do is to drain you of all energy such that it's hard to get away from it to something more decent.

You have the key point, but backwards -- poverty and lack of opportunity are what causes the drain of energy, and taking the mindless job is the consequence.

Then, the mindless, exhausting job keeps you drained so future opportunities are unavailable to you. Then your impoverished children, bereft of hope, walk the same path, ad infinitum.

> the real world does not adhere to economic thought as strictly as many would claim it does

That's absolutely true, and if anything the assumptive concepts that underly how government creates regulations are more dependent on "economic" principles than the assumptive concepts that underly how businesses work.

"people don't always do the most rational thing" is so often used as an excuse for government to intervene and make choices for people. As if government itself is not made and run by people who also don't necessarily (individually or collectively) make 'rational' decisions, only now given a really big stick.

There are other ways besides government to provide for people, even when doing so does not fulfill an obviously incorrect model of human as the hyperrational self-maximizer.

Well, this calculus of protected classes they seem to be using does give off an impression that it was either designed by someone aggressively unthinking or sufficiently opposed to the premise that they tried to sabotage it as much as they could get away with. Under some pretty reasonable assumptions (complements of protected classes are protected; two permissible posts bolted together are a permissible posts), a system where protected ∩ unprotected is unprotected is trivially circumventable: for instance, rather than posting "women suck", you can always post "women drivers suck; also, women non-drivers suck".

Not early release titles that you could buy as the authors continue working on them (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I have bought book(s) that are still not released and have benefitted from them already.

Also the price difference in those websites vs direct from O'Reilly is quite significant. (Twice or more than twice.)

I would have preferred if they would have raised their book prices but kept the same business model.

If your dcache is growing to the point that each bucket has many entries in it, you can also increase the number of buckets in the hash table using the dhash_entries kernel command-line option.

(The latency in this situation is caused not by the sheer number of entries, but by the fact that the hash table is undersized for the number of entries it gets).

Actually, how many low cognitive load, high paying jobs will allow people to work a casual 20 hour work week, and take days off or call in sick with little repercussions? Most middle class jobs, such as the one I have now will require a full time commitment, along with a higher cognitive load and responsility. Oh, and so those people who want to pay their bills and nothing more? When their wages went up, they had the leisure to work less.(I have no clue where UW got their mere 3% raise claim, I experienced a much larger bump) While cost of living has gone up in Seattle, there are countless ways to navigate that, as those familiar with living on less know.

No, studies have been mixed and controversial, at best. This is just another study that shows how empirically ambiguous it is (by supporting the anti-minimum wage position), so again, I challenge the left to hold their evidence to a higher standard since it goes against common sense economics.

Regardless, the minimum wage and most other forms of welfare put forward by mostly the Democratic Party are economically foolish and distort incentives (TANF, unemployment benefits, minimum wage, mandatory social security, etc.) A very basic income is much cleaner and simpler -- I have yet to hear an argument for why our current welfare complex is superior.

You should read the article I linked. : ) It's a very solid meta-analysis including pretty much every peer reviewed article on the subject of the past few decades.

> ... When does an increase lead to a demand increase? Why would employers demand more labor with a price floor than they would without one?

The article explicitly doesn't go into why, but I can think of a few reasons.

Totally off hand, I'd put my money on the fact that businesses that employ minimum wage earners tend to also be disproportionately patroned by minimum wage earners. Add to that the fact that minimum wage earners tend to pretty much immediately spend their paychecks, you're left with businesses having their customer base with more disposable income.

Why don't employers simply raise wages themselves? Aside from the implicit information asymmetry sort of denoted by this very conversation, it doesn't make sense from a sort of game theory point of view for an individual business to go out on a limb without their competitors doing the same at the same time. In my mind, that makes it a perfect opportunity for government to step in, and add some lower bounds of acceptability. This way both employees and employers can have more success.
Surely chocolate coated berries will pick up the slack
As someone who has been through this bureaucracy — DHS, consulate, TRIP, etc. — I can tell you that it's a huge pain.

It's a completely opaque system. There's no way to talk to anyone directly. You can only send letters, and hope for a reply. Even seasoned immigration lawyers will have to go through this infuriatingly slow and obtuse system of sending letters and then waiting a long time to get a vague, unhelpful reply in return for some nameless functionary.

In my case, there was an error in my records, and we tried to get them to expunge the offending information. But every time we clarified to them what had happened, we got a reply back basically summarizing the issue, with no solution. My lawyers had to keep doing this until they finally got a redress number and a notification that something may be happening. Meanwhile, the various government databases are not unified or even talking to each other, so all the information about the error was apparently held by the immigration office at JFK (or something like that), not centrally at DHS, which made everything a lot harder. Eventually we received a confirmation that something had been done to rectify the problem, but — in a kafkaesque twist — they refused to say what, and they could not guarantee that there would be no further problems.

To this day I am still being pulled into the immigrations office for some light interrogation every time I enter the US. Which is whenever I come back, since I now live in the US.

The visa application process is similarly kafkaesque and characteristically unfriendly. For example, while applying for a visa, there's absolutely no way to contact the consulate (or at least there wasn't in my home country). Forget about calling or visiting, there's no way to talk to anyone except by appointment, and appointments are only for getting an interview to submit your visa application. And what's hilarious about both the visa system and ESTA is that they don't even guarantee entry. Visas are issued by the consulate, but you can get a visa from them and still be denied entry by DHS. As a European used to my government being quite friendly and approachable, the cold-heartedness of the whole thing was quite shocking.

> McManison buyers are not socioeconomically disadvantaged.

I never said they were, and that's not the point. Social class and economic class are not the same. Criticizing someone's tastes doesn't just become totally acceptable to that person if they're rich. You're still going to make them feel like crap for spending their life savings on an inferior product. And there are still going to superiority undertones to what you're saying, at least to their ear.

'Objective amount'? What it is is an amount, and growing, that feel exactly what you imply doesn't exist. There are clearly many people that have lost 'faith' in fiat currencies, or the central banks that manage them, or the economies behind them, or all of these things, to the tune of the market-cap of bitcoin. How more objective an amount can you get than that?

I'm a bit mystified by all the downvotes, am I mistaken in understanding that Moore's law can be understood in a generalized context with respect to the rate not the quantity the rate was originally measured from? Basically he observed a particular rate constant or exponential growth profile. The quoted wiki page states: "Several measures of digital technology are improving at exponential rates related to Moore's law, including the size, cost, density, and speed of components. Moore wrote only about the density of components, "a component being a transistor, resistor, diode or capacitor,"[102] at minimum cost."". So essentially when comparing the growth of one quantity vs another it's not the quantities that are being compared but the rates.
