Ah, that explains why I saw various catalán sites being pinned on the IPFS pinning service I run (https://www.eternum.io), which also runs a public writable gateway (so you can access IPFS files, including the banned catalán websites, through it).

Having just gotten back from Barcelona, I have to say that the way the Spanish government is handling this is far from ideal. I don't very much support the Catalonian plea for independence (I haven't heard any good reasons other than "but our freedom"), but blocking sites seems... suboptimal.

As for the crypto itself, why not use bcrypt? Your users don't care if it takes three seconds, but it makes attacks entirely infeasible.
true I forgot that (although it seems they forked brave but that's still webview)
It could be argued that this platonic view is not very factual. If you look at how corruption is dealt with and the reticence to apply the same constitutional laws you can get a sense of how things work. There were numerous members of the royal house we could talk about, or politicians...
I would advice against linking that. JWZ do not like HN much, so he has set his site to refer-filter every incoming connection to a less than pleasant image on imgur...
Looking at their commit history, it's not a fork in the sense of "we're actively developing our own new features and diverging from upstream", it's a fork in the sense of "we've taken a stable release from upstream, applied some of our own patches, some backported patches, and some patches from other forks."

It's a fork as much as the stable packages that RedHat or Debian ships are "forks" since they have a few patches applied to customize for their environment and fix a few issues that hadn't made it upstream by the time they picked a stable release to base on.

MariaDB is an active, independently developed project. They are probably funding MariaDB because working with upstream developers of an actively developed fork can be more efficient than striking out on their own with another actual fork. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually start using MariaDB, and either rebase their AliSQL patches on top of it or drop AliSQL altogether (much of it just looks like backports of bugs or features).

They have not delivered "orders of magnitude cost reduction from already mature technologies", which is what I said in my parent comment. They've instead made (valuable!) incremental advances, usually by relying on immense government subsidies.

Thanks, you're right. Apparently there are several US Persons definitions!
Mozilla (the foundation) is a non-profit corporation, but Mozilla (the corporation that creates the free browser) is a for-profit corporation. They're separate entities.

Of course, non-profit corporations are still able to turn profits as well. They just can't distribute dividends to shareholders.
> You might have missed the non-stop concentrations of people claiming for independence.

Are you saying that the Spanish have the right to free speech because they claim independence? Any person can do whatever is within their power (such as speak their mind or kill somebody); the right to free speech is the assurance that the Government won't interfere (as they should with murder).

Keep your assumptions to yourself, especially if you won't the time to add anything to the discussion. The advice I gave is more or less paraphrased from advice I got from a medical professional as well as first and second hand experience. I was very straightforward when I said taking care of yourself is not the ultimate solution, but it does help significantly, and more importantly not taking care of yourself amplifies the condition.

The people I've known who have had the biggest problems with mental illness were the ones who wore their diagnoses like a badge and used these sorts of 'no true Scotsman' arguments to isolate themselves.

To put a finer point on it, if you want evidence behind my "platitudes" mountains of scientific literature can be found reinforcing the benefits of sleep, light, and exercise and their effects on depression.
Uridium and Paradroid are included, at least.
I don't disagree. For me, if I really cared about GPS, I would buy a GPS and drop it in a pocket. I would not tie a camera decision to its availability or unavailability because GPS does not really affect how I rate the quality of my photographs. On the other hand, if I was taking crime scene photographs where geolocation had evidentiary value, then my concerns might be different.

Agree, somehow, high quality journalism sources like the main broadsheets need to move away from the cathedral-website model to a pay-per-article model. Realistically, people aren't going to spend more than $20-$30 per month on journalism. And realistically, given the enormous variety of high quality (and often free) content available, people certainly aren't going to spend that $20-$30 on a subscription to one or two newspapers. Healthy society needs free journalism, journalists need to be paid, people nowadays ain't gonna buy subscriptions to entire websites when they can read, like, the internet.

There are an awful lot of green user names lately shutting down conversations using things like "citation needed" or "prove it" on subjects where it's completely inconsequential or the conclusion is obvious.

Apologies if anyone here isn't willing to bend over backwards for the demands of an account that wasn't even created the last time I filled up my car's gas tank.

Google made a name for themselves giving away very expensive products for free because it furthered their tracking and advertising network. It's not only safe to assume Chrome is the same way, it's dangerous to think otherwise. Google paid $3b for DoubleClick 10 years ago, that wasn't wasted money.

> Yeah sure, people believe what they want to believe. Or we could just accept that until 2013 he was just another wheel in the giant machinery that is the NSA and that his morals changed - for whatever reason.

His motives and how he ultimately ended up leaking information is well documented in the 2014 documentary Citizenfour [1] and the 2016 movie Snowden [2].

> But he was with the bad guys.

Are there shades of grey or nuances or is the NSA the root of all evil? Its impossible to care about security as NSA employee? Teaching US civilians how to use GPG means you're trying to protect civilians against the NSA? The world isn't black and white.

Right, and even if its latency is, say 1.5X that of Chrome(1), it's still better, for the same reason.

On the contrary it's a wonderful test because it establishes indistinguishability; namely if you pass it, the whole point is that a person can't tell the computer from the intelligent thing. Meaning that you can't really argue that the computer is different than the intelligent thing. Because how would you tell them apart?

Besides, the original claim was that the goalposts are moving. And even if you hate the Turing test, it's clear that the goalposts are not moving.
This claim needs some scrutiny:

>> * the first to prove out supersonic retro-propulsion

> Here the key is supersonic retro-propulsion. They really were the first people to light up a rocket engine facing the 'wrong' way of a supersonic spacecraft. NASA's interplanetary systems have all used parachutes to get into the sub-sonic regime before firing retro-rockets. Neither retro-propulsion in orbit (nominally a vacuum) or on the Moon count as supersonic.

All retropulsive landings are rockets facing the "wrong" way. That's true on Mars, the Moon, or Earth.

By the semantics of your argument, neither does the Falcon 9 experience supersonic retropulsive landing, since the only time it fires at supersonic speeds is in the near vacuum state of the upper atmosphere. The descent down to Earth is a guided free-fall and the last step happens at subsonic speeds.

On Mars, terminal velocity for a probe is supersonic, so the parachute stage is required to reach subsonic speeds. It basically replaces the guided free-fall of the Falcon 9 rocket, and make things harder, not easier. It should be pointed out that the full process of landing on Mars involves an insane Rube Goldberg contraption of heat shield, parachutes, retropulsive rockets, airbags, and sometimes a skyscrane. Claiming that what SpaceX is doing is a harder problem than this is simply wrong.

Finally, the Delta Clipper did pretty much exactly what the Falcon 9 did, and so did Blue Origin with their New Shepard rocket. So the concept in its near entirety was well-known for a while.

> They are also the first company to launch two rockets into orbit in a single weekend.

Not from the same launchpad. Many organizations have launched rockets nearly back-to-back, some even from the same launchpad.

> So at what point would SpaceX's achievements become "impressive" for you without having to add context?

Not really what was being argued here. Certainly, what SpaceX has done is impressive with or without context. But the claim that they are magically beyond everyone else is just wrong. Looking at their achievements in context shows their limitations, and that they are not exactly the "first to X" where X is something someone else has long figured out but the poster is unaware.

Out of curiosity, how do the Catalan constitutions Charles promised to uphold compare to the current autonomy?

Also, is it historically accepted that, if Charles had won, he wouldn't have done the same to the other regions with fueros / constitutions?

I wish containers could be tied to which space (on macOS) I'm in. I keep all my work in one space, and all my personal stuff in another. That makes it really easy to keep things apart.

The current container extension uses the default container for new tabs and windows, which is a bit cumbersome, because you have to remember to open new tabs and windows in the current container. If it were associated with a space, it's just inherit the container from the current space.

After seeing the reactions to his comment, I felt it would be helpful to emphasize both: the possible benifits of his suggestion, and that I don't think he intended to be critical of depressed people or kick them while they're down.
By calling depression "a narcissistic condition", many people seemed to be viewing it that way.

Thanks for the reply.
You say "the code recurses a sha256 computation 1714 times to get a password for decryption, and then once more to get the lookup key", however in the code above the search string is computed as var search = sha256(key);, note it's using key and not passkey, which means, assuming that is correct, only one round of sha256, so roughly 1715 times faster to crack.

It seems weird that the sensitive part (ID number + birth date + post code) would be encrypted the most weakly, and the public part (voting station) would be encrypted the most strongly. Maybe I'm reading this wrong or the code author involuntarily made his encryption quite weaker.
I've been watching tutorial videos on software packages recently, and one really nice use case for annotations is that if there is out of date information in a specific sentence, they can just annotate it with the newer info instead of redoing the entire video.

It's also helpful when they use the links as intended, like the video links to its own follow up video at the end.
I think he's talking about the "how" (blocking internet, policialization) not about the "why".
It might not be a requirement to memorize all of the words, but then again it's hard to tell which ones will still be important later on. It does add a significant mental load not only trying to pronounce the words, but try to remember them and then try to recall those memories when the word is referenced later in the story.

I had a hard time with Game of Thrones for the first few seasons too, because of the absolutely massive cast of characters. It became easier when most of them died off. It's one of the reasons I don't read a whole lot of fantasy novels, every author considers themselves a Tolkien and has to show off how much work they put into world-building.
Medical research hasn't cracked step 1 either, at least not to a point of accurate simulation.

Besides, if you could simulate a human brain, you will end up with something that needs to sleep, something with limited and unreliable memory, something that gets bored and distracted, something emotionally needy, etc.

Then the extending of this chaotic, messy system is wildly unknown even if we could get a piece-for-piece replication to work. Such a thing would be of great benefit to medicine, but not really for AI to even start with until medicine is done reverse engineering it.
That's as a bit unfair conclusion.

This analogy is not good, because for a vegetarian there are other easy-obtainable things to eat. On the other side, in the case of handheld portals into the digital world, we do not have easy-obtainable alternatives.

Besides this weakness, the analogy relies on fanatism. One can easily become nearly vegan and have virtually all of the benefits while not needing to be totalitarian nor fanatic.

What? As long as you compile it in the virtualenv, it is. And now with wheels that's basically the case for any modern library. Yes, you will share the C libraries in stdlib, but if you really want you can isolate those too.

- there has been no evidence of collusion between trump and the kremlin. And unless they find hard evidence then he can't be impeached

- James comey leaked classified material to appoint a special prosecutor as he self admitted. He also perjured himself by lying to congress about deciding not to prosecute Hillary Clinton months before she was even interviewed. Congress now has two witnesses coming forward to prove this

Download and run the IPFS daemon for your OS (from ipfs.io) and access the banned websites/files locally. That will make you serve them to other people.

Its different because Snowden has credibility.

He didn't receive any money for the movie Snowden (it was donated to The Guardian instead) [1]. He didn't sell any of the NSA data. He doesn't have a track record of profiting, apart from working (like we all do) and receiving some donations.

So the claim that Snowden is a proponent of Zcash because he has invested in it has no merit. There is zero proof for such statement, and his track record doesn't suggest it either.

Our experience with ExtJS version 2 (later upgraded to 3), was even with one of the people who literally wrote the book on it, the application still descended into spaghetti code of a homegrown (very much "grown") framework around it.

Our later rewrite in Angular was more structured, though I do admit at least some of that is because it was much of the same team who were now more experienced (and also no longer treated it as an afterthought to the backend), and it being the second time round.

Also much like the Angular 1 -> 2 change, Ext 3 -> 4 was a very large change, and while it was a change for the better (providing many of the features of our homegrown framework in the core), it was still difficult to upgrade.
