That is a pretty poor response, the IOTA team doesn't seem to know how cryptoanalysis works. Theoretical attacks usually are found first, then specialized attacks like the chosen message one shown here, then more general ones. Cryptoanalysis takes time, and it is best to fix your system when you still have time and not wait until a full, generic, attack is known.

The first rule of hash functions is "Don't write your own hash function" writing cryptographically secure hash functions is hard, and even expert researchers get it wrong as often as they get it right. Better to use one that has been analysed already than coming up with your own.
For one thing, I do know my life revolves around programming.

I work from home and so get to spend time with my kids and have a pretty chill time, but everything I do, is calculated towards solving that next problem.

E.g.when I'm stuck on a problem, I go play with my kids to rest and passively process it.

To me, this is a pretty chill life. This is what a "life" means to me.

Traditionally, people's careers have always been their lives. Blacksmiths, farmers etc, why can't it be now?
Perhaps the point was that there may be some transferable technical talent already in place. Plenty of programmers, statisticians, UX experts, data scientists and IT folks needed for modern auto companies.
This is what the world needs.

Seriously, I hate this trend to bloat up websites with the rage of a thousand suns. There is absolutely no value, but it increases bandwith usage, load times and CPU/RAM usage. News websites having "fancy, modern" websites actually make me think less of them.

Fuck this web-bloat shit. The web is broken.
You're mostly right. Unfortunately, there are enough extremists who want actual total "equality" (whatever that means - should beautiful people get scarred to be more equal?) that it's an easy straw-man to use for the regressive types.
> Is your ISP actually doing that to you right now? Or is that just hypothetical?

I was on a Southwest flight earlier this week which did exactly this, using HTTP injection to display an overlay on every HTTP page. It's certainly useful to provide flight information (or Amber alerts, weather information, billing alerts), but it's Just Wrong™ to violate the integrity of a communication to do so. Perhaps there should be some standard protocol for ISPs to send messages to clients, permitting the connected OS to determine how to display them?
In Australia this concept is widely recognised as 'fair go'.
Thanks paulgb!
I only observe certain classes because observing anything and everything is not convenient. Nothing prevents you from doing

`window = new Proxy(window, handler)`

(or more generally, to Proxy the global object) where the handler replaces anything with a Proxied version of it either once a trap triggers (yu-gi-oh style) or immediately.

Then again, I did not write the specification for `Proxy` and Iroh is cool. It probably has plenty of use-cases where Proxy would not do a good job. I'm just showing what we have right now.
The article listed several risks. What would the number be for all risks combined?

I'm not advocating a return to conditions that I have a dim recollection of (I am just old enough to remember my parents having an inside toilet fitted and Jack Frost on the windows looked lovely to the 7 year old me but the 60 year old me really likes his central heating thankyouverymuch). However, I think there is a case for some careful relaxation on what kind of buildings can be used for housing. Still regulations, but allowing (say) bedsits for single people &c

No return to slum landlords, they weren't cheap mind you but often very expensive.
Messenger.com is really buggy, I've had a `Could not display composer` error message for months every time I open the page, so I can't type anything into it. (just double checked and it still exists). Unfortunately, seeing how slowly facebook responds to bug reports I haven't even bothered.
Well, free will is an illusion and the world is pretty much deterministic on the large scale, so the concept of "deserving something" would itself not be fair to begin with.
You are 100% correct. Honestly, it doesn't need CSS even, although that's nice to have.

True but these functionally behave like "roundabout bypasses": if you want to take a right at the roundabout, for the biggest and most engorged roundabouts around here it's common to have a lane letting you turn without entering the roundabout.
It wouldn't stop surveillance, because there are only a limited number of pages it can serve. It's possible for an attacker to download all of them and figure out what you're reading by traffic analysis.

That is a very interesting perspective. It reminded me of the book Scale by Geoffrey West, which I've been planning to read for some time now. From what I've heard and read about it, one of the things it seems to do is examine organizations, corporations and cities as emergent complex systems that both emerge from life and appear to share many properties of life themselves.

The richest people in the U.S. aren't Hapsburgs, Rockefellers, or Kennedys. They largely started out in upper middle class, maybe a little better off than that, and then founded huge empires based on a combination of business savvy and innovative disruption. The Waltons inherited their wealth, but the ones on the richest people list inherited directly from Sam Walton, whose story certainly fits that bill.

"Passed down through generations" makes it seem like there's some sort of grand lineage, and I haven't seen any data to back that up.
partial call tree recording is supported, I think. Take a look at section "28.3.2 Intercepting method calls" from the link I posted above.

More importantly, you are entirely right about ES5 support. Babel doesn't polyfill Proxies, and the google polyfill is not as powerful.
They could encrypt each person's data with a unique key.

Then, purging a person's data would come down to deleting that key from the system and from all backups of the keys.

That makes it a bit easier; the set of all keys will typically be a few orders of magnitude smaller than the data, and could be backed up using separate systems. Those systems wouldn't have to be updated often and access could be better controlled.

You would still need procedures checking nobody writes out non-encrypted data (including database keys), but that's doable; a first level scan would just run strings on your raw disks.

Disadvantage is that this would affect performance, especially for reporting services (a query gathering statistics over your customers would have to fetch all your customers' decryption keys)

A step up would be to hand out not bare decryption keys, but pairs (decryption key, expiration time stamp) encrypted with a private key that only your database knows the matching public key of. That allows your database to detect when your applications reuse decryption keys for too long. Depending on application architecture, that pair could even be a triple (decryption key, session key, expiration time stamp), and 'encryption' of course should use a salt.

It was only a temporary measure, if you ask me. More like a vacuum was created, and a new set of wealthy people took the positions.

http://piketty.blog.lemonde.fr/2017/04/18/inequality-in-fran...

So I'd say no, it's not really a counter. There is something else, something intrinsic in our society, that causes the existence of the wealthy. Or "inequality" as others like to call it.

The problem is that SSN's are treated like a private key. If somebody has that private key, and some basic information about you, they can basically impersonate you electronically.

Meanwhile countries like Estonia use an electronic card reader with a PIN to verify digital identity, making it nearly impossible for somebody to impersonate you. Using this Estonian system, you can tell anybody your personal code ID.

This is cool but for some reason (maybe reading too much HN!) I clicked and expected a demo or research paper about a Convolutional Neural Net (CNN) that you can feed lots of text and it would figure out the content and semantic relationships of all the texts on its own and it would get better with every new text that you feed it.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if someone's already done that...

Locked up for life for crimes they didn't commit
The history is kinda interesting

>Mini-roundabouts were developed by the Road Research Laboratory in the early 1970s as an experiment into whether the success of the priority-to-the-right rule at larger roundabout junctions could be applied to locations where there wasn't enough space to install a full-size roundabout. By summer 1971, 33 were in use across Britain.

>[Frank] Blackmore pursued this discovery, noting that the design was also superior to signalised junctions, following a Peterborough experiment where an extra 1,000 vehicles could be handled every hour by a new small roundabout at a previously signalised T-junction. He started to wonder if several small roundabouts could be linked to improve more complex junctions.

>...Blackmore didn't give up, [...] and in 1972 gave Britain a new design of Ring Junction. It was supposed to be in Birmingham, but the Council there was unable to fund the scheme, and so the RRL was invited to try its new design at a congested roundabout near Swindon town centre. For the first time, traffic could flow both ways right around the central island, meaning that if one side was congested, the other side could take up the slack. After a few days of Police control, in which time RRL researchers logged events from a crane-mounted camera, the experiment was branded a success.

>[It] is one of the few places where the jams have never really returned despite forty years of traffic growth.

>...They also have an excellent safety record, probably because all traffic is moving too slowly to do any real damage in the event of a collision.

Quite a colourful history for a roundabout guy - Born and brought up an expat in Algeria, studied engineering in Switzerland, RAF pilot in WW2 getting an Air Force Cross, became an Air Attaché in Beirut where duties included bugging the Russians next door with holes drilled through the wall. Then roundabouts.

> ...increasing wealth concentrated in an increasingly tiny percentage of the population, while millions struggle to get by...

I think these discussions are immensely helpful. Mostly because they give us clear criteria for accepting and rejecting proposed solutions. Many people, for example, are for confiscatory taxes on the rich to level the playing field.

Your sentence here, for example, implies that the wealth concentrated in the hands of the tiny percantage of the population would relieve the millions who struggle if it were just redistributed. I don't believe the numbers back that up. As rich as Gates and Bezos are, they can't fund healthcare for everyone. Which is why redistributive tax schemes aren't about using the means of some to fund the needs of others as much as creating fairness (or at least the sense of one).

This is complete bullshit. You really don't need any math to make these systems work. Being able to preprocess and scrape data and conduct rudimentary error analysis is far more important. And the math you generally need to know is trivial.

This is just gatekeeping bullshit. Most of the time the right answer is "collect more/better data".

> stem from previous inequality of opportunity passed down through generations

There's a positive aspect to this as well, though. My grandparents (coal miner and steel miller) made sacrifices and investments in order that my parents could be the first generation in their family to attend college and become school teachers. My parents made sacrifices and investments in order that my siblings and I could attain a better life than they had.

My wife and I are making sacrifices and investments to help our children attain their individual maximum potential and satisfaction in life. Instituting a giant red "perfect reset button" for each generation precludes the sensibility of those investments and I believe harms society overall.
I used to live and work in Swindon years ago, the roundabout is actually really easy to use once you get the hang of it. Best thing is there's always a route to keep moving, so it does keep traffic flowing.
Google seems to care more about manipulating the masses than they do performance/profit. The fact they admit to passing over objectively better candidates to hit quotas proves this. I'd say what you mention is probably a side effect of that.
I lived there for five years, five years ago. We used to joke that drunk driving was a minor league sport and that "It's Always Sunny..." is actually a documentary. Literally half the people I knew had at least one DUI on their records, and the rest all had a scare-story where the cop let them go. "Imagine a town in which everyone has at least a little larceny in their hearts," elicits a few proud chuckles from my friends still there. Camden, NJ is the only city I've ever seen with more litter. They booed and threw icey snowballs at Santa Claus at a football game in 1968 and they still talk about it like it proves how great the fan culture is. They are very proud that their sports fans are the loudest, drunkest, and most violent. It's the only town in which I've been challenged to a fight just because I was in the room.

I loved it in my twenties. The food and drink scene in DC is nothing in comparison, and there is a yuppiness here that is interminable. But too many yoga and spin-class studios and too-expensive beer aren't going to literally kill me. Philly earns all of its bad nicknames.
The social security cards here use to say "Not for identification." Then the IRS started using it as a Tax ID instead of creating their own (my Tax IDs in Australia and NZ, two places I had work visas for, were public as well).

Most countries have some type of citizen identification number, which is attached to some ID with a photo and/or finger prints. The US does not, and the political climate for the past several decades would probably never allow this. The Real ID act has been seen as a sign of the beast by religious fundamentalist and a basic erosion of rights by libertarians et. al.

Passport numbers can't be used either because not all US citizens/residents have a passport and the numbers change when you renew them. Most parents get a SSN for their child at birth. Even people I know with dual citizenship overseas have them (all except for one, and you don't really need one unless you want to go to America to work .. and then you'll also need to pay an immigration/tax lawyer to go back and reconcile all your taxes).

dc on the unix command line (linux too), is an rpn calculator. I use its non rpn counterpart bc. I've been told they aren't great (buggy), but for simple math they work fine.

I used a hp 32S in college, less mistakes make with rpn then entering calculations the other way. though newer calculator allow entering of whole equations ((10 *5)^2)/3 made this less useful.

The hand helds are more portable than emacs.
Right: universal (everyone has one) and merely an id, not a secret used for verification.

An important thing is to keep a 2fa tied to each id. An address works, because then mail can be used as 2fa.
Honestly, with a few tweaks (RSS support, titles on pages, getting rid of the 'Breaking News, Latest News and Videos' in every title) I'd pay $12/year for something like this. I'm pretty sure that CNN gets less than that from a statistical viewer of its pages.

Wouldn't it be awesome if pure text, static pages became the new normal, and we looked at video-and-image, JavaScript-laden SPAs in much the same way that we look at parachute pants, bowl haircuts and rhinestone-studded jean jackets?

I'm not sure macroeconomic systems affect the kids as much as socioeconomic ones like household mobility, addiction rates, mental health care, and family structure.
Interesting! One of the main challenges of Iroh was to always keep track of all branches (calls, ifs, loops..) correctly. All listeners provide an indent value which represents the level of branch deepness and can be used in code flow visualizations. When your program is inside a function->loop->if and a return is inside there, then you have to manually leave if->loop until you get to according function to return on.
You missed the entire point of fast.ai. They believe that it's better to be able to do basic, practical stuff before diving deeper. Most people will lose motivation if they have to learn an insane amount of stuff before even getting started with the cool stuff.
In Italy the personal id is computed from name(s), surname, date and place of birth (state of birth if born abroad) and a check digit. Collisions are pretty rare (one every few tens of thousands of people), so it's pretty much a public piece of information.

Electronic identification is available on three levels: id+password, id+password+OTP (the most common), id+password+smart card (everybody has one, but in practice it is only used by officers nowadays). Getting a password is free and takes about 15 minutes plus a trip to the post office. It works pretty well, and underneath it's just SAML2 so everyone can use it.
I grew up in Swindon and learned to drive there, still go back fairly often (by car). The Magic Roundabout is fine, even at rush hour. I don't think I've ever needed to do a full revolution of it, often I just need to turn right (which you can do a lot faster than on most junctions). That's the beauty of the system - there's an efficient route to all the exits while also letting traffic cross you.

Compared to single roundabouts of a similar size, it's really not that bad. You just treat every little mini-roundabout separately and give way to the right.

It's much less confusing than large roundabouts where you need to anticipate lane markings (which are impossible to see in traffic) or you end up going round for another try.
