It sounds like you're implying you are aware of a vulnerability in the TLS 1.2 protocol or in a major TLS 1.2 implementation. If you do, please responsibly disclose this to the maintainers immediately so it can be fixed.

Moreover, you seem to be implying that major enterprises and/or governments are aware of this vulnerability, and will use/are using it to identify leakers.

Generally forward security doesn't give you a lot in a data exfiltration scenario. In this scenario a user is in a hostile network and their machine may be partially compromised and they need to upload data to a friendly server. If the friendly server uses non-PFS cryptography, like static DH, anyone with the server's private key can decrypt the traffic. But if the adversary has the secret keys of your friendly server it's already game over. The advantage forward security gives you is that each individual connection will have a different ephemeral key, so you can't steal the server's keys to decrypt the traffic offline, and if you can break the ciphersuite you have to do so for each and every connection.

I personally think we should keep non-PFS ciphersuites out of TLS 1.3, but I don't think it's at all fair to assume malice on the part of those arguing to allow it

Wow, this article really doesn't even at least mention some of the problems this new boom bring. Maybe ask long time residents of neighborhoods like East Liberty, Bloomfield, or Lawrenceville how happy they are that they got driven out by rising rents due to rich techies? The "revitalization" of Pittsburgh might benefit some, most of them relatively new to the city, but gentrification will hurt lots of its populace who will then be forced to live in the sprawl ghettos around the city where crime is already a big problem.
It's not something they should avoid, it's just something many are not currently prepared to do.

Just curious: do you use an IDE, and if so, which one ?

The thing that drew me in to Object Pascal was getting Delphi back in 1996 (I think it cost $200), and being just amazed at how much I could do out-of-the-box without knowing a thing about Object Pascal. The productivity with IDEs like Delphi/Lazarus is just astounding.

I look at setup instructions for many languages today and just cannot believe what I'm reading. Pages and pages of instructions on putting together a dev environment just to compile a Hello World program. It's just insane to me...

My grandpa ate meat and dairy every day and died after his forth stroke at 70. He had his first stroke at 50, but never even considered changing his diet. My grandma is obese on a similar diet and probably won't make it much longer.

My mom ate the a same since an early age and had very high cholesterol and the doctors warned her that she is on a similar course as my grandpa if she didn't change her diet.

I've since convinced her of going on a plant based diet and I am planning her meals. Her cholesterol has been decimated, she lost a ton of weight and feels way better now.

Am I a qualified nutrionist? No. Am I feeding her the diet my grandma ate. Fuck no. Where did I get my information? Plenty of peer-reviewed studies. There is no denying that dietary cholesterol is a killer and cutting out meat and dairy is probably the healthiest option for the majority of the population.
Why wouldn't the initial search be conducted with the body cam on? This is falsifying evidence, whether the person was guilty or not.
Sure, here's an example - a small startup which occupies an attractive niche, definite market need, product-market fit, and decent traction. The founder developed a software platform in response to market need, but the market also told her that there were opportunities to sell extensive services. Now that the software platform is done and there is a small services team in place, the founder can choose to sell either:

a) the software platform, which might make $20k/year, but you can sell thousands of them without much incremental overhead needed; once integrated, it's also extremely sticky; low customer churn and high customer satisfaction

b) a services package, which might make $50k/year, but for every 3-4 you sell, you need to hire a new employee @ $75k/year fully-loaded overhead cost

Before you say "sell both!" - unfortunately the nature of things is such that, more or less, the founder needs to prioritize selling one or the other. Consciously or not, she is prioritizing the services revenue, and as a result about 90% of new sales are services contracts. I (and the other investors) would prefer that she prioritize software. Even if it makes them unprofitable, it would make for a much better risk-adjusted bet. And this isn't like "it's a much better bet for the investors, because they can diversify risk out in a portfolio, but the poor founder would probably be left with nothing". She understands both sides and says she wants to build up the software revenue, but the culture around her (south-eastern city) is so strongly opposed to it, that the execution has been impossible. This is a classic case of where a smaller PE firm will come in and buy it out for a few million, purposefully cut the services revenue, go hog wild selling software, and flip it a few years later for 10-20x what they paid.
My point about Tejon Pass is that it's a steep grade mountain pass with heavy traffic including lots of trucks. There's no equivalent in PA.

Highway trucking will be the first significant deployment of autonomous vehicles. One of the big challenges is Mountain West interstates.

I do agree that the NE US is a proper testbed for bad weather city driving, since no West Coast cities have really that bad winter weather, I'm just objecting to the claim that somehow Pittsburgh captures all the challenging road conditions that autonomous vehicles will encounter.
I think all the broken links just goes to show that failure in business is the norm or that someone who thought it would be a good idea to promote their company on this service is probably not good at running business.

It's completely possible to setup `pass` such that you can type `pass <name>` and it will print the password to stdout (you might has to pass an extra parameter or so) without ever asking the user to input anything to confirm they approve of this action.

Now if this were to become mainstream, it's almost guaranteed that some percentage of users will set it up to work that way.

And now you have the perfect opportunity to write a script that simply attempts to read passwords using pass and if it succeeds sends the results somewhere on the net.
Well, It was more about strategy :)

> but my team's arguments are purely based on fact

There are no arguments. There is only economic actors that have their own resources and decide where to use them, and these economic actors interact between themselves.

Even communist dictatorships that impose castratingdegree of control on their citizens do trade with other nations, and the degree to which they demand access to some goods and services combined with what they are able to supply o other nations influences how they exchange and use resources.

That's capitalism as well.

The basic inner workings of any economy don't simply vanish just because a communist dictator decides it's a good idea to hold entire nations hostage.
Sounds like you've worked with quite a lot of wannabe rockstar programmers. Look, you're not wrong - there are certainly mediocre programmers out there who have decided that quantity is its own quality, and can bang out lots of buggy code really quickly. However, just like there are a lot of middling to good musicians out there, but only a few truly great ones, there's something that separates the good from the great, and the same goes for programmers.

Unfortunately for us mere mortals, programming is not quite a performance art (despite the existence of /r/watchpeoplecode), so there's not anything to point at globally as this is what a great programmer looks like.

Moreover, a company's culture is the culture - if they put up with assholes who can program a little bit, they'll also put up with assholes in be other positions for different reason.

Personally I'd choose somewhere else to work.
No it doesn't. If you're not losing weight, it just means eat less. Every single fitness board ever knows that its impossible to know exactly how much you're consuming or exerting. Which is why you're supposed to just drop another 250 calories a day until you start losing weight again.
Because shakes are a lot less convenient. I wonder what the difficulties are in engineering a zero carbohydrate protein bar (with artificial sweetener if necessary); there are plenty of "low carb" bars on the market which of course still have a ton of sugar.

Frankly, I agree with Mailchimp.

Under what model?
There's a very similarly sized city on the west coast with similar population, etc.: Portland. It is a good illustration of what can help or harm cities.

Portland lacks anchors like the one put down in Pittsburgh by robber barons. Later philanthropists like Vollum of Tektronix in Portland weren't nearly as effective as Carnegie. Silicon Forest turned out to be a bit of a volatile dud compared to Silicon Valley.

Pittsburgh, on the other hand, has great universities in CMU and U Pitt. Portland's equivalents PDX State, erstwhile Oregon Graduate Institute, and OHSU never reached the heights of CMU or UPitt as they lacked the deep and broad foundation of Pittsburgh's universities.

I like both cities, but just on the basis of Shadyside-Oakland-Lawrenceville-etc. and the intellectual atmosphere there, I love Pittsburgh much more.

Disappointingly, in Portland there's no intellectual atmosphere of any sort.
Yes, that does seem nifty. And it'll be good for pure stargazing scenarios, in which you're not attempting to record an image. For astrophotgraphy, however, it'll be a wash, as all you need a viewfinder for in those situations is to ensure that you're pointed at the desired object; the final output is always going to be best viewed on a proper display.

I suppose what this is really doing is bringing the benefits of some common astrophotography techniques into casual stargazing, which is cool. Too bad the press release doesn't explain it properly.
Compare berlin to any big American city and you would see that the rent-to-purchase-prices ratio is always much lower in berlin.
I couldn't agree more. It's all about problem solving. The coding part is just how you do it. If you have to be told how to write code or architect a solution, you are not a good programmer... yet!
And yet purchase prices are the same. Rents are controlled and purchase prices are not.
> "In terms of efficiency, the solar cells are currently showing around a 2-2.5 per cent power conversion rate" [1]

Since you can probably get 250-350 watts of sunlight (avg) per square meter, it means 1 sq m generates 5 to 8.75 watts. Which is 0.5 to 0.875 watts per dollar (or $1.14-$2 per watt).

I don't think that's cheaper than the current offerings, especially if you don't consider these printed panels take 10X more space. Also the lifespan isn't known.

But consider that the price of these new panels will likely fall, if mass-produced.

Other people say it's $0.40 per watt. [2]

That article and the events and reactions it describes is a neat little encapsulation of the entire Trump presidency. This is much more important than a minor sense of schadenfreude.

Looks like the conversion efficiency is between 2% and 3%, so, pretty low compared to silicon based PV

I did some scraping for a lawyer back in like 01 from other lawyers. He got a c&d and told me to turn it off (we were done anyway).

Funny part was the lawyer on the other side wanted us to return all of the content on disk. Not show what we had copied but literally return it. My lawyer laughed about it. The other lawyer was smart/savvy enough to be effectively using the internet in 01 but didn't really understand the tech.

Other funny part is if he had generalized his site outside of law he would have had a major business these days.

That function does create an object with a well defined interface, but because you are using a dynamically typed language, that object has the type "Object" (or Any, or whatever the mono type of that language is).

If you call that function, you have no idea what the type of that object is. Only the function knows it and that information is lost as soon as the function returns.
Maybe you should try reading the article to see what the article is about.
I help out on Physics Stack Exchange and the Freenode ##physics channel can still be nicely active sometimes, though not as active as ##math is.

If you want that sort of story, one textbook that you might incredibly like would be Griffiths' Introduction to Elementary Particles, which has a very readable first section going into the history of how we came to have the Standard Model that we have today, some names of who discovered what, etc.

A. Zee's Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell is also very nice for getting a sort of pleasant appreciation for quantum field theory if you've got some mathematical background.

It also depends on what you take for granted as a baseline. If you can find Feynman's New Zealand lectures, for example, you will notice that he deliberately avoids introducing explicit complex numbers or explicit integration, and still manages to convey what both of those mathematical formalisms allow the theory to do. (There are also some little gems. Like, if you pay attention to the part where he says something like "I wish I had brought an example of one of these surfaces where we've erased lines of the mirror so that I could show you" -- then you're in the right position to say, "holy crap, I understand the rainbows that I see in the bottom of CDs/DVDs now!" after a second.)

Sussman of Lisp fame went on to write The Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics, https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/titles/content/... .

I'd be remiss if I did not mention that the father of String Theory is on a quest to provide everyone with the education needed to appreciate the current theories of physics; see http://theoreticalminimum.com/ or just look up Susskind on YouTube; e.g. "Susskind Statistical Mechanics" turns up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1RzvXDXyqA .

If you really want cutting-edge sometimes-somewhat-unbelievable stuff, the Perimeter Institute publishes their lectures-for-the-public online; you might for example really like Penrose's idea that maybe someday when all the black holes have evaporated, all of the particles become massless and they no longer experience time so we can just evolve the system to t=infinity after some finite time: so we discover that what we get as our boundary at infinity could be conformally rescaled to something resembling a t=0 Big Bang -- a "conformal cyclic cosmology". See http://pirsa.org/index.php?p=speaker&name=Roger_Penrose for more of that sort of stuff.

Rent control in berlin goes beyond the mietpreisbrmese - most significant is that you can't increase the rent once you get a tenant beyond the rate of inflation and that you (almost) can't kick out a tenant.

I have friends in London whose rent (in the same apartment) went up 10% every year for years until they had to leave the apartment. This is not happening in Berlin.
It's not opinion, it's fact. VISA can easily process over 40,000 TPS today. A single MySQL instance can process 10,000 TPS with very little electricity consumption compared to the Bitcoin or Ethereum networks, which currently use a ridiculous amount of electricity to process somewhere between 2 TPS to 20 TPS.

None of these numbers are hard to find and they are widely accepted as fact, not opinion.

> There is an economic third way alternative to capitalist rent seeking and socialist totalitarianism: distributism.

It should be noted that Milton Friedman, who was as capitalist as it gets, advocated for guaranteed basic income, which is at its source an income redistribution scheme.

Whether the income is financed by taxes (taking cash out of the rich to distribute it to the poor) or through monetary policy schemes (printing away cash) the end result is that such a scheme results in redistributing wealth around the whole society.
