"Theoretically, an ID-card can be used for person identification and digital signing - without having a card and not knowing PIN-codes. It is not enough to know public keys to crack the ID-card, an attacker would also need a lot of processing power to compute the private key and special software to put a digital signature."

"In October 2014 ID-cards began to use a brand new faster chips, which are based on new technology and therefore more secure. That new chip has received French and German safety certificates, which confirm the compliance of the chip with safety requirements. The same chip is currently used in several other countries, as well as on payment cards and business certificates. The vulnerability risk arose due to the combination of chip operation and software."

"We took a number of steps to minimize risks: closed the ID-card public key database, our experts analyze the situation and are looking for a solution to restore the highest security level."

I actually have grown to like globals because of this writing style. I'll note that most of what he writes is self contained in the section they are in. However, some things require you to have knowledge of how the system works. You can try and limit this from folks locally, but you wind up having confusing state passing tricks that can, amusingly, lead to bugs.
Aqua Elegante Shower Filter Review
But the same could be said of any snippet of bug-ridden computer code if we let computers run our ICBMs (and to some extent we do). Doing really stupid and self-destructive stuff doesn't require a lot of intelligence. Doing semi-random stuff, well .. a lot of code that I write seems to behave that way until I get it somewhat debugged.
A lot of comments in this thread about struggles with setting up a config.

My intuition is that this is because we are using a declarative programming model: a config file, rather than code.

I don't really understand why we would use, say, Ruby to encode a web server, and then use JSON to encode the build process. We choose our programming languages very carefully for their ability to express powerful control structures, ease of maintenance, debuggability.... and then we use a brittle, underspecified language of flags, nested keys, and filesystem tests and side effects to program our build system... Why?

Can someone who believes in this declarative config build system explain why, in the abstract, it's a good fit for build processes, when we'd never choose a language like that for our actual codebase?

I'm influenced here by Jonathan Blow, who designed into Jai the ability to run arbitrary Jai code during the build process, for this exact reason.
He was under 18 at the time of all evidence of illegal activity presented by Krebs, yet Krebs included his name. Normally in legal indictments, the public documents redact names of any minors. Krebs is acting in a journalist capacity here, but he's accusing people of crimes. Shouldn't we hold him to the same standards as the justice system? Isn't this the basis of libel law?

IANAL but looks like Gupta could have legal standing for libel against Krebs. Granted, he may have skeletons in the closet preventing him from pursuing that avenue...
Professionalism entails keeping promises. If he didn't do that, people saying he isn't good at his job isn't totally absurd.

Its Rob Pike talking about the go assembler and he answers a few of your questions.
Once built a docker container is not expensive, but the idea with Docker is to create immutable, layered containers and rebuilding every time there is a change. Unlike with nodejs, it's harder to volume mount python packages installed in the docker container and so no one does it.

Change in requirements means rebuilding the container which is a very computationally and IO expensive process. So if you can get away with it virtualenv is better, but putting everything in a container so you can simply ship a container is also useful. It's a compromise.
I had a teacher that was fond of saying that the only thing he needed to work as a computer scientist was a pencil and paper. That was around 1989, so maybe things are different now. That was usually when we were complaining about using Prolog or SML for some assignment rather than C.

The atmosphere can hold more water, and the oceans hold more heat. Hurricanes thrive on warm water (especially deep warm water, as the hurricane will churn up water from deeper levels, which can weaken it significantly if it's stirring up a lot of cold water).

One of the reasons Harvey intensified so quickly is that is passed over a _very_ warm section of the gulf:

Irma will be passing over similarly warm waters for the next 4-5 days:

http://isotherm.rsmas.miami.edu/heat/images/irma/ohc_aQG3_20...

The northern Leewards and Greater Antilles are in for a _really_ rough time. It's likely a direct hit (or close brush) with either Hispaniola or Cuba will weaken Irma before it turns north into Florida, but that's still really bad news for folks in the northern Caribbean, and it's still going to be a very serious storm when it hits Florida.
It's not a contradiction - if your parents made financially poor choices, you are more likely to as well, but that does not change the fact that good choices usually lead to better outcomes, and that you can still make those good choices, in spite of your parent's choices.

For example, an acquaintance of mine got a pay increase by getting a new three month contract job (in the $30,000 a year range, no heath insurance included). Before starting work, she traded in her car for a new Toyota Camery on a five year loan with 7% interest.

This was a terrible decision. She's taking home less now money now then she was with a lower paying job. She can barely make the payments. If she sells the car, she loses thousands of dollars - if she could even sell it. And if this job doesn't renew, then she's really sunk.

Importantly, it doesn't matter at if her parents were rich or poor. There were plenty of other options. If you can learn about the other options, and spend wisely, you do better.

Yes, sure, but the correlation isn't absolute in the first place. As you can see, for instance, clergy members have anomalously low divorce rates for their income level; I'm sure you can imagine why that might be.

Even if their examples are ill chosen I think the point stands if you take two jobs with similar income and a big difference in divorce rate.

Virtually no company would do it just for that.

Many companies use those kind of rules, however, to fire people that are already in their cross-hairs. If a server logs the message, and employee handbooks says, "personal email blah, blah, blah"... it is pretty cut-and-dried from an HR-drone point of view and much easier than firing someone for the things they _really_ did.

To expand/paraphrase, the industrial Revolution was about improving the productivity of human labor. Automation and AI is about replacing human labor entirely.

If economists said that as a rule, automation improvements lead to better jobs for horses you would call them crazy. But when they say it as a rule for humans it suddenly makes total sense. Horses were replaced by cars. Humans can be replaced by AI.
I have heard a few different version of the intention behind ZFS license, through I can't say that for a legal case I have enough information to have a definitive opinion. Some people say that ZFS license was created with the explicit purpose to be incompatible with linux in order to not compete with solaris, but I would agree that Oracle has a thought case in court if they want to wait only to sue later. That is a practice that the legal systems tend to strongly dislike.

The other side is of course each one of the linux developers, each holding the full power of copyright. To cite SFLC, no free software developers have ever sued an other free software developer over license incompatibility, so its very unlikely to happen with ZFS. Such court cases really on happen between companies.

So to sum up, a case over ZFS is very unlikely, but I would not bet on what would happen if android suddenly started to use ZFS.

It's hilarious because people have been jumping into running services without necessarily considering the legal liabilities they've been signing up for.

It's like if someone started a point-to-point delivery business where they take anonymous, secure packages between different places, no questions asked, and then are surprised when the police show up and say they're pretty sure that a good portion of the packages they've been carrying are drugs and pipe bombs, and ask them to roll on their clients, or at least stop delivering packages. And then the delivery man tries to make a philosophical argument that they aren't morally or legally responsible for the contents of their packages, and in any case it really shouldn't be illegal to distribute drugs or pipe bombs.

To avoid the HN snark police (oops), here is a relevant passage:

> They are definitely right about the long period of painful adjustment! The aftermath of the Industrial Revolution involved two major Communist revolutions, whose death toll approaches 100 million. The stabilizing influence of the modern social welfare state emerged only after World War II, nearly 200 years on from the 18th-century beginnings of the Industrial Revolution.

If you want to verify that a particular operation on the data was done by the person who is allowed to do it, you need some sort of public key crypto, right? If someone steals your private key, they can pretend to be you on the blockchain. Whether that private key is called a wallet or something else.
I think the general trick is there are always enough people in the world in need of charity to make pre-funding private disaster relief seem like wasted potential.

This is supposed to be something governments account for. They budget for and provide the insurance on giant disasters of this scale.

If we want to do anything about improving the preparation and recovery from natural disasters, it will have to be a political engagement. The total costs of some of these incidents push tens of billions of dollars for the whole recovery. If there is anything governments should be accountable for, it is acts of nature.

I think the parent is saying is that, if you consider the circle traced by the outer tips of the windmill blades, the windmill blades themselves take up a very small fraction of the surface area of that circle. Thus, the windmill is fundamentally only capable of capturing a small fraction of the energy that flows through that circle.
This seems like a good start, and it could help provide more choice in cross-platform data storage and data exchange. Recently I looked once again, as I usually do once every few years, at options for exchanging data through external drives between Windows, macOS and Linux (I prefer USB drives, which are faster than speeds I can attain over the network). Shockingly, it seemed to me like NTFS was the easier filesystem to go with (Linux has good support for it, and macOS needs a third party driver for write support)!

Back to this project, I feel there is a strong need to have a set of GUI tools (beyond Windows Shell Extensions) to take advantage of the btrfs filesystem features (like creating snapshots, sending snapshots to backup storage, etc.). I use btrfs on Linux, and the lack of good, up-to-date GUI tools to use its feature set has been a source of frustration (yes, I can use the command line, but then that would restrict the usage only to me, leaving out the other not-so-tech-savvy people around).
> Last time they decided we needed more supercomputing power, and they got it. Did it help?

Per a few sources I've seen, no, it didn't. One big cause of the GFS (USA) model's inaccuracy is lack the of computing power, which we've addressed a few times with new supercomputing clusters.

The bigger problem is that the GFS model uses bad underlying physics. Decades ago we made several choices to optimize around the current architecture and processing ability, which was probably okay in the mid 1990s. Today, it just results in greatly inferior predictive ability compared to the European models. When you combine the poor model physics with lower resolution compared to the competitors, it becomes clear that we need to reboot the whole thing.

Clearly some language is being used to reason about these things, and evidently, this language is reflected in some SQL-like surface syntax. It would be no more a burden to provide an extensible AST than an extensible SQL-like language. In fact, it'd be considerably simpler since tokenizing, parsing and verification would all be simpler.

Whenever I open up about some of the hard times I've been through (usually trying to motivate or encourage a freelancer who is experiencing a rough patch) somebody inevitably pipes up claiming I don't _really_ know what it's like to be poor, one time somebody told me "You don't know anything, you only have the backs of your eyelids to go off of". I'm not even sure what that means, but it can be frustrating for those of us who HAVE been to rock bottom and found a way up again to try to show the ropes to others if every time you get questioned, disbelieved, and even shouted down because somewhere at this moment there's somebody poorer than you, or a spectator doesn't truly think you've experienced hardship.

When somebody says they've been through hard times and is trying to help another person out - that's NOT the time to interrogate them and try to disprove them, it's the time to focus on the person presently in need, and to find ways to help them get back on their feet or at least get their wits back.

Please don't be a 'poverty skeptic', it's a little hurtful and a lot unhelpful.
The argument that "most people wouldn't know what to do with papers even if they had access" is what perpetuates it. If discoveries are important enough to report about in the news, they're important enough for me to read the underlying research.

My formal training hasn't taught me the first thing about atmospheric sciences or gender studies, but my access to papers has allowed me to explore them. I'm no expert in either field, and I understand half of what I'm reading, but it's information I just can't get in a textbook.
