Near-field worn devices.

http://nfcring.com is an example of what I have in mind.

What I'd like to see is this tied into an identity system, such that the ring (or other very-hard-to-misplace, but replaceable and discardable) token is not itself an identity, but rather an access token to an identity store which can present any given identity to any given system.

That might be a consistent identity across multiple sessions or unique identities on each session. The identity might be tied to some central certifying agency (e.g., a motor vehicles department or national pensions fund), or not.

There are several elements of this which I'd like to see developed further, including how keys might be reconstructed or recovered using a quorum system of trusted sources (divide your key into pieces, share those amongst friends, family, or some local authority, such that key loss need not equal data loss), and possibly via law enforcement.

I'm also looking at the possibility of a public ledger system which might allow for both workfactor requirements and public disclosure of keys being revealed. This may be a viable application of crypto, though I'm not entirely sure of this.

(The feature might also be optional -- you could take the risk of key loss, or allow for recovery. But the present situation with PKI of losing access to all previously-encrypted data in the event of key loss would be mitigated.)

There's also the requirement for devices to have support for near-field readers. I'm told this is alreadly largely a reality, though my reading of specs for various mobile devices suggests otherwise.

The biggest challenges through all of this are not the technology itself, but the adoption, requirement, and enforcement of standards, including availability of tokens at low or no end-user price. Trust of the information ecosystem overall might be a suitable incentive for this to happen.
Then it would have to be a feature of the font, and I am not familiar with any font that does that automatically. Technically, it might be possible, with advanced scripting available in OpenType, but considering how even the most basic of ligatures are unsupported under most Linux and Windows fonts, I would not have my hopes up to have this any time soon.

> This is just like Red Hat. He's put a lot of work into his product, whether free or not, so don't use trademarked name.

Unfortunately when you fork a repository, it does copy the entire source tree. I can't type that fast, so there was a short period when the original README was still there.. there's also probably 400 other repositories on GitHub with the same problem. I knew this needed to be resolved, and it was within a timely manner.

I'll also note Caddy is not a registered trademark.

> Don't do that. If you're going to copy it, change the name.

When I created the repository I deliberately chose a different name and deliberately opened up the issue tracker and created an issue to track the work in renaming e.g. the README references. I created this issue before the "you're violating our (unregistered) trademark!" issue was created.

My intentions were good from the start, please don't talk to me as if that was not the case.
Probably a bit long in the tooth now:

This could lead to an opposite problem - where I am from(Poland) police bribery is still an issue despite years of fighting against it, and I have no doubts one of the main reasons for it is the low pay of policemen. Someone with 10 years of experience in the force takes home about $800/month. So if they are offered $200 to forgive a fine, that's like a week-worth of money for doing less work.
what about FaceID + pin? that would mean someone would have to know your pin as well as have access to your face.

you also wouldn't have to look so paranoid while entering the pin. and pin by itself would be of little value.
Slightly ironically the TLS is broken on that nfcring website.

Right. You're describing your own view there.
If you're using Nginx, MySQL etc for software and Bash3, Python etc for scripting then there's not linux or Apple specific.

> That wouldn't work very well when people go straight in different directions...

That was actually used in my parallel-programming course as the example of a deadlock caused by priority inversion. Of course it almost never happens that there are cars in all four directions at an intersection without traffic lights, so it isn't much of a problem in practice.
For music software you would need script nodes right away.
There isn't one single way to implement filters, compressors, etc. Perhaps that's not the focus of the API.
You'd be eating 'free' in the sense that one of your investments might pay off and as soon as you step into BurgerKing your token will autoexchange to 'Whoopercoin' - purchased by your wallet app refilling your Burger King wallet. In fact there might be subscription services that tell you when the whoppercoin market experienced a pull back allowing you to take advantage and invite your friends. Yes, all speculative but technically absolutely doable.

> What I mean by that specifically is putting things into your feed that nobody actually intended to share. e.g. "XXXX liked this thing!" Or generating notifications of non-events, like "Hey, share a thing!"

I also noticed I get a lot of "this female friend of yours who just like you also doesn't have her relationship status revealed to us is interested in going to X tomorrow" reminders. It's like Facebook wants me to be a creepy stalker male friend.

I started taking screenshots of it and sending them to them - "hey, Facebook wants me to stalk you" style (they're privacy conscious so we can joke about it together instead of them thinking I'm creeping on them)
That seems a marvelously simple idea!

People understand what brake lights are and it's relatively simple to see the car slowing down that corresponds with the lights. Then assuming the driver doesn't use the hand brake then it should be obvious that the car is starting again when the brake lights go out.

All this flickering of lights seems way too complex
For me it's not so much the paranoia or the degree of security (which is an arguable point in itself) but the commodity of it. Touch ID lets me unlock my devices without having to re-position my upper body or move them in (practically) any way, and Face ID feels awkward (I'm typing this on the device that is likely an exception to that - a Microsoft Surface Pro - and Windows Hello's face recognition works beautifully, but I am _always_ facing it when I need it to unlock, so...)
According to the article, the phone won't unlock if you aren't attentive, i.e., looking at the phone with your eyes open with tiny imperceptible eye movements.
Yes, Audio does work. But the Web Audio API has some things more to offer for the simpler stuff. Simple games, timing, effects, detune, etc.

Any idea otherwise is absurd.
The amount of negativity towards the cryptocurrency space on HN is staggering. Even worse is the fact that a lot of comments are coming from people who obviously have no clue how the whole ecosystem works. I guess a lot of them are bothered by the fact that ICOs allowed wealth to move in a direction opposite of them. I honestly expected a lot more from this community.

Those of you that are not yet corrupted by the 'everything cryptocurrency related is a scam' attitude: try to keep an open mind. Yes, there is a lot of shady stuff going on, but that doesn't mean there is no potential in this space. We are witnessing a creation of a new industry with tremendous potential to change we do business. You should be excited!
This is essentially the argument against automation - that a human is so versatile, we can be "programmed" (convinced, paid, trained, etc.) to perform many disparate tasks. Our exception handling is so robust (what happens if it floods?) that it's a problem solving engine unto itself. As with a grocery store, the self-check machines can't sweep the floor or stock shelves when business is slow.
I briefly considered Arch, a few years back that I was having a relationship crisis with my Fedora.

Unfortunately it was a no-go for me for the following reasons, but the situation may have been improved since then:

1) Back then it was only recently that they had instituted package signing and verification for their official packages. Ouch! That was something that most distros had for years back then. So security wasn't their primary concern.

2)There were 2 or 3 package managers. pacman was the one, don't remember the others and I didn't understand their purpose.

3)They were touting abundance of packages, but these were mostly AUR packages. AUR packages, back then at least, were completely unvetted, arbitrary packages provided by... anyone basically. And the official Arch documentation was crystal clear that they don't support them and that the user, individually, should inspect each one for their integrity or possible malicious intentions. Uh, no thanks.

Hope the situation has improved because I was planning to give it one more try at some point.

nice collection! upvoted for "15. `namei -l`" alone, which is far too little known.

a better "20. Randomize lines in file":

(sort -R sorts by hash, which is not really randomisation.)

Absolutely agree. But society has to ways of making sure that there will be a minimum of fraud: let unelected regulators do the job or have a broad range of third party services/companies internationally issue advisories and reviews/audits. The answer to this of course is political/philosophical and crypto in general follows a philosophy of having the market i.e. Private solutions figure it out. That's especially more feasible as it's a global phenomenon.

What? I made one comment. Not only was parent's comment only loosely relevant to the article itself, but they provided no evidence to support their position, all with an undertone of maliciousness. I'm willing to accept it's a racial issue if you present evidence that reasonably eliminates confounding factors like the ones I brought up. As for the opioid epidemic: I care about as much as I care about the crack epidemic, which is about as much as I can care without having anyone close to me be affected.

> Saying "X is X" does not mean you are "making it X". If you think he's making it a racial issue, you might want to consider that it just might be actually a racial issue.

They are "making it a racial issue" because the article is about how to best help someone with an opioid addiction, not why people write so many articles about opioid addiction, or why so many people care about opioid addiction, or why the method of dealing with the opioid epidemic seems different than that of the crack epidemic. Parent's comment is, again, only marginally relevant to the content of the article.
While this is a fun aphorism, it's getting less and less applicable these days since many proof systems (and programming languages that double as such) allow for code extraction to e.g. ML or C code. Naturally, the usual caveats apply: You'll want proof that the code extractor is correct. (But then, you'd want proof that the proof system itself is correct, regardless.)

Nevertheless, the aphorism is part of the reason that I'm (also) sceptical of using proof systems that don't allow for code extraction. Assuming you're actually trying to prove things about programs and just just proving things for e.g. math.

(Disclosure: I learned how to drive in Germany, details may differ in other European countries, apart from the obvious mirroring when driving on the left)

The fallback rule for all situations is "yield to the right". If you're at an intersection with no signs or markings, you get to drive if there's no-one to the right of you.

This creates a deadlock when all roads are unmarked and there's a car on each of them at the exact same time but that almost never happens and can be resolved by slowly inching forward if the person to the right of you doesn't move and then exiting the crossing.

When entering from a road that has a solid line or a yield sign, you always have to yield to the traffic on the road you're merging into. A stop sign means you have to come to a full stop even if the road is empty and slowly approach until you can clearly see there's no traffic and only then merge (after yielding).

Most other rules follow from that.

I'm not sure what you mean by "4-way stop" but if there were a 4-way crossing with stop signs on all sides it would result in a deadlock and be resolved the same way. Except with the explicit restriction that everyone first has to come to a full stop and slowly move forward to determine the traffic situation.
The only place where Windows still somewhat matters is on corporate desktops. And this is for content consumers, or producers in very narrow silos, those generating Word documents or Excel spreadsheets. In every other aspect Linux is the superior tool.

Personally I use Arch and i3, my desktop is riced to the point that is comfortable for me. I can stand up a new desktop in 10m after a clean arch install. I can replicate my full dev environment on any linode, droplet or aws machine in less than 5m at no cost.

It amazes me that people can call themselves 'productive' using microsoft systems. Every time I land on a windows box I feel like I'm in some ancient broken world.
First of all, thank you for sharing your experience. It was insightful, and I completely agree with your criticism of the article.

I would like to make a small, and perhaps somewhat pedantic comment regarding your last statement:

>In my own humble opinion the only "science" that matters on this subject are the opinions of those whom have lived it and recovered. Go survey the opiate addicts that didn't end up dead and find out what worked for them.

There is a problem of silent evidence and survivor bias here. What is important is not what they did that led to their recovery, but what they did differently (or, more generally, what was different in their circumstances) from those that tried to recover, but didn't.

So, IMHO, what is needed is not _just_ the opinions of those that recovered, but a longitudinal study to identify which, out the many factors that were involved in the recovery process, have been the most instrumental.
I agree with your point but that feels like more of a class issue than a race issue, though of course race and class aren't independent unfortunately.
From my personal experience: upstream packages get updated a lot more frequently, even faster than in debian-testing repo.
And he didn't mention that in Arch a routine upgrade can break everything which rather doesn't happen in the release-based distros. It has happened to me more that once over the last 8 years.
I still use it nevertheless, but it's definitely not for everyone.
Nobody is arguing that not to be true. The issue is arguing that NVIDIA foresaw their systems being relevant to AI/DL/ML: they simply were lucky. They opened their architecture to HPC people, concerned largely with fluid dynamics, finite element methods, nbody methods, and so on. To claim that they had any insight into the emergence of ML as a core application of their silicon is simply a laughable revision of history: as we were talking about in an ancestor of this thread.
The binary build from the Caddy website and the GitHub repository are effectively two separate products, as they are covered by different licenses.

The code in the GitHub repository is open-source; but the binary builds from the Caddy website are not.
You're talking in absolutes, with no references, do you have any supporting evidence, did you read the linked article, I seem to some good science on my side.

"For opioid addiction itself, however, the best treatment is indefinite, possibly lifelong maintenance with either methadone or buprenorphine (Suboxone). That is the conclusion of every expert panel and systematic review that has considered the question — including the World Health Organization, the Institute of Medicine, the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Office of National Drug Control Policy."

My read is that the science was principally this 'graph:

That is the conclusion of every expert panel and systematic review that has considered the question — including the World Health Organization, the Institute of Medicine, the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

Thanks for the link, emerongi.

BTW, this isn't just some random podcast -- TLDR was a podcast put out by "On the Media" [0], the (US) public radio show that dissects how news is presented to the public, how the media works, etc. This episode was released in Jan. 2014.

A month later, a version of this TLDR episode was broadcast on the actual "On The Media" radio show [0] -- basically it's the podcast-episode with some added introductory material about the Benghazi story, narrated by Bob Garfield, one of the show's hosts.

(BTW, if you listened to the podcast link from emerongi above, there's no real reason to listen to the "On the Media" link below [1], but as someone familiar with the radio show, I found it interesting to see how it was presented on the actual show).

Nice article. However:

> It's alarming not just because the number is so low, but because Dropbox holds such valuable information for so many people.

I'd suggest that Dropbox users somewhat self select for those not as concerned about security as others. And more concerned about availability.

Dropbox does not encrypt your data server side (or at the very least, can easily decrypt it). And they have proponents of warrantless surveillance on their board:

It's something you kinda have to try to actually feel the difference.
I can tell you a few things I noticed after a few months of use:

-Pacman (their package manager) is amazing - and if you want to install community packages from the AUR[0], you can use yaourt (if they've got dependencies on other AUR packages), or just git clone the package and run makepkg -si

I've never had any problems with it, and I've messed around a lot with my system.

-No bloat at all, you'll learn a whole lot from setting up your own system

-No choices are made for you, it's yours and yours alone.

-It's actually surprisingly stable, though you should be careful before you upgrade.

-It's always bleeding edge (maybe not always a good thing, hence you have to think before upgrading packages)

I have to read the article now though.

> So why exactly is Arch a better Linux distro compared with the rest

I'm a former Arch user, and I can't honestly think of any concrete reason that would matter to most people. In my case it was first and foremost a tinkering project, as Arch provides an easy and thoroughly documented way to assemble a bespoke Linux environment.

A more glib answer would be "because Arch gives you street cred without the hassle of Gentoo"
In my opinion, the selling point is that arch requires you to take interest into how it works and some level of understanding of the major parts.

To get a working arch install you'll be taken through The Install Guide that summarises the steps necessary to have a base install with links to relevant specialised articles. Once you have a bootable system, they provide links for further customisation if your system.

The amazing thing is that by contrast to ubuntu et al. you're by default left with the strict minimal bootable linux system and anything else you want/need on your machine, it's explicitely your responsability to ensure proper operation (dependency versioning, program specific configuration and maintenance). It's fairly overwhelming initially, but the tools arch gives you to cope with the "it's your mess" are second to none (pacman/yaourt is amazing)
- Ease of obtaining opioids compared to crack as a member of the middle class.
- Ease of becoming addicted to opioids when the original intent of use was medical, rather than recreational
- Arguably larger reach of opioid epidemic, specifically that it is less isolated to a few geographical areas
- Socioeconomic class of people that are affected
- More accepting/understanding of addiction and drug use in general, even if the laws yet aren't
