So how can adding a few tens of thousands of engineers not affect wages yet "harm the competitiveness" of American business? The only reason business wants these workers is to get them at a cheaper price. This all about price. So if the price doesn't change a whole lot, then the position of the business doesn't change a whole lot, either. If the price changes a lot, then so does the position of the business.

In any case, I fundamentally disagree that our immigration policy is too restrictive or that American businesses, which are already earning record profits, are not competitive.
If you use 1024 bit DH with a common group (old/misconfigured web and email servers do this) then it is suspected nation states can break the DH, get the shared symmetric key and decrypt all traffic.

For ECDHE over P-256, they would need to wait for a big quantum computer (which will break all recorded traffic that used a non-quantum resistant key exchange, which is all current traffic).

Books are distraction machines on a different level. When I become immersed in books I tend to deprive myself of sleep, neglect my daily chores and procrastinate my work. I do feel much better about periods where I read a lot, otherwise I tend to incessantly grab my phone to check blogs, news sites and stock/crypto prices.

Cyberbullying is another big motivator for banning mobile phones. Perhaps even bigger than the distraction aspect.

It's also frustrating for teachers when bullying is happening online, outside of school hours but it still takes place between students in the classroom. It should not be the teacher's business but it obviously impacts schoolwork in the classroom.

I think this is a smart move unless someone can show a study that's showing positive impact from using smartphones in schools.

One good advice our calculus lecturer gave us was:

As someone who grew up in the 80s near Chicago and then moved to California for the second half of my so-far life around 2000, and thereby had to spend an immense amount of time being looked at like I was insane when I went to a restaurant and automatically said "table for two, non-smoking"... no: you smoking in a restaurant is absolutely not a "personal lifestyle choice" :/ it is forcing everyone else in that restaurant--many (if not hopefully most) of whom might have been lucky or smart enough to never get addicted to cigarettes--to breathe the fumes from your cancer-causing death stick, and while you might think "if the restaurant is large enough you can pull this off", once you learn what it is like to eat in a restaurant that has neither people smoking immediately nor the lingering scents of smoke embedded in every porous surface of the entire building it is amazing how sickening it is to return to places that allow people to smoke in enclosed spaces. If you want to smoke as a "personal lifestyle choice" you should do it at home, where the only person you are killing is yourself.

1) Modern LBR might solve this. LWN has a summary (though I've only skimmed this): https://lwn.net/Articles/680996/

2) Not sure for this, though I can think of some crappy hacks:

--A) Timed LBR mentioned in that LWN article (somewhat indirect, but might get the job done)

--B) use perf counter overflow interrupts (for cache misses) and set the perf counter initial value high (which should let you sample the cache miss locations). This can only tell you if a particular load is making up a large fraction of your overall cache misses (which is probably not super useful).

Edit: Forgot about PEBS, which is really what you want for 2).

I think yellow is also interesting, because it so beautifully exhibits the ambiguity of colors; it does exist in the spectrum as a pure color, but in RGB model it only exists as red-green.

But purple and violet are truly fascinating, the way they help construct a circular color wheel when there is nothing circular about color spectrum.
The deeper question is - how do we make it not unusual, but a normal things that kids just do?
That's not my point.

My point is that they're not noticeably faster for the things most people use their computers for. They still run browsers, Spotify, email, word processors and all of that just fine and last "long enough" on a charge.

TP-link is clearly ignoring many of the instructions from NTP: http://www.pool.ntp.org/vendors.html

Notably, they are ignoring the ones that make it possible for NTP to be aware of the problem in the first place. Right now, TP-link's traffic probably just looks like millions of unrelated devices misconfigured. NTP wants vendors like this to make requests to a particular subdomain so they can identify problematic vendors in the first place.
> >In order to generate e, we'll need to find a random prime number that has a greatest common divisor (GCD) of 1 in relation to ϕ(n).

> How can a prime number have any divisor that isn't 1, let alone a gcd? Either that's mistaken, or it's unnecessary to state.

A prime is a divisor of itself. What it is in effect saying is "find a random prime number that is not a divisor of ϕ(n)".

I'm not sure why it is saying that, though, because RSA does not require e to be a prime number. It just requires that gcd(e,ϕ(n)) = 1.

The article is just poorly written, as can be seen by this sentence a little further down:

>> The e value is often made up; it's an arbitrary factor of both of your primes.

I cannot even begin to figure out where that came from.

My kids are still young, but I've been thinking about what is the right moment to give them mobile phones. Ideally, I would wait like to wait until middle school and then hope they will put them into their locker during class. I think concentration is one of the important skills to cultivate, I'm probably biased because it has been so important in my career. Phones are designed to distract and break concentration, responsible phone usage seems important. Also, I see kids cycling while using their phones all the time in Holland. If I would ever catch my kids doing that they will have to hand in their phones immediately.

For client projects we've been using the moneyphp library, but that also fails with rounding when it comes to VAT rates like 19% or 27%. There is a "precise" branch on their github which we have successfully merged into an existing project and solved these nasty rounding issues.

Vanilo will most probably have that included soon.
Nice referral links on your page. I see from your comment history that you've spammed HN with it several times in the past as well.

---

Edit: To be clear, there's nothing inherently wrong with affiliate links. To me, though, it's the same as someone here mentioning their product or service in a comment without disclosing their affiliation.

It's one thing to tell another person "The FooBar 9000 is a good router.". It's quite another to say, "The FooBar 9000 is the BEST router on the market. Oh, look, here's Joe. He sells those and you can buy one from him right now.", without mentioning you have previously worked out a deal with Joe.

It's not the affiliation that's the issue. It's the lack of transparency about the affiliation. (And, in this case, for me personally, it's that the OP apparently tries to work in a link to his page anywhere he can in HN conversations.)
I’d look at this service to see if you can simplify: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/container-instanc...

I’ve run Docker CE on azure vms on individual host, also customized ACS for swarm and they are both a PITA in their own ways.

Either way use terraform or ARM templates to provision where you can. Probably need the ARM templates for the newer container instance service since I doubt terraform is updated yet.
I think this almost certainly is not the reason. You can take something as simple as lotteries to show this. Lotteries specifically target and exploit lower income individuals who we can say are probably not 'professional investors.' And they're huge money. In 2016 $80.55 billion was spent on lottery tickets in state lotteries in the US. [1]

That's hundreds of dollars per person if each and every adult in the US bought exactly an equal share of all lottery tickets. In reality only x% of people play and the distribution is going to he heavily distorted. Lotteries are a major drain on society, but government's love the 'free' money. So we have them.

Neither of those are true, not in any systemic sense.

Yeah, if you want to make better places for concentrated work, how about leaving alone this voluntary source of distraction, which is in a big part a coping mechanism for staying sane while facing the bullshit at work? Maybe let's focus on the second big distractor - other people. As in, meetings, open offices and unnecessary teamwork.

There are way more than three networks in the UK, but BT, TalkTalk and Virgin Media are by some measures the most popular and broad in reach... Vodafone and Sky are two other common ISPs that have unbundled the local loop in the same way as TalkTalk (i.e. they have equipment in BT exchanges so that no BT backhaul is needed).

bash uses readline to handle user input and in readline the completion function is a parameter. Could a more clever completion function be substituted to get the same behaviour with bash?
I think it's mostly posturing. Mobile phones were already banned in class, and this was well enforced. But many kids, especially in cities, take public transportation to get to middle school.
My experience with middle school in Paris is that it's also very unreliable schedule-wise. When school suddenly finishes 2 hours early, I appreciate getting a text message from my kid telling me what they're up to.
It looks to me that it'll be hard to enforce reliably - are they going to search backpacks, and keep phones in lockers during the times kids are in school ?
Ask HN: Explainer/demo videos
Hey folks, I was thinking about creating a 1-minute video that introduces software product. It's a time tracking app so my assumption is that people don't need an explainer video, but instead a demo video that shows what you can do and how it looks like.
I'm interested at what you folks think, namely:
- Do you watch explainer/demo videos
- Why and when do you watch them (or don't)
- What are your expectations
- Examples of what you like and don't like (eg. animation that starts with "This is Jack...")
Because those people vote.
middle school was the right time for me, mostly because their social life became so active that it was overtaking my own phone most weekends just to coordinate their activities...
In a nutshell: OpenWRT existed. They kinda sorta pretty much stopped doing anything. LEDE sprang up as a fork, with several of the OpenWRT folks.

I Just read that paper and while It’s hardly just a microchip it’s damn impressive considering the technology involved and the requirements it’s fulfilling.

We build non-technical SaaS software targeted at anywhere from pre-IPO to Fortune 25 companies. I'd say SSO is a hard requirement for at least half of our new customers (which to them means SAML 2.0 - ADFS, Azure AD, Okta, OneLogin, etc). And this number has been rapidly growing in the last 2 years as companies become comfortable with using cloud-hosted SaaS solutions rather than on-prem.

While it may not be the prettiest protocol, today it is the only broadly supported SSO option that does not expose your credentials to a third party. LDAP was the way to go at one point, but this only makes sense for on-prem software where you can trust your credentials to flow through.

Also, I am pleasantly surprised by the number of orgs that are introducing regular key-rotation into their SAML iDPs.

'Some old people love to grouse about how Things Were Better Then, and how Children Used To Respect Authority...'

I don't know if things were better then but (as a kid in the 70's) we certainly respected authority because the threat of physical violence was a real one.

I am not saying that was a good thing by the way, just explaining.
That applies to teenage years too, when kids start to mark clear boundaries between their world and parents' world.

Keep calling with bullshit trivia at the most socially or practically inconvenient moments, and your kid will soon stop picking up.

I have a project with 36 different entities, 100s of endpoints, and way too many abstractions (coming close to the enterprise-Java levels) and for me, it takes 8 seconds for a cold start on a 7 year old mac mini with an ssd (around the same when running tests). I find it not perfect but acceptable.

Pretty useless for any average looking guy who was able to punch above his weight through better written messages. Now their messages probably won't even be seen at all, so, why bother putting in the effort to write one? Most likely outcome: the few high quality openers that were being written evaporate entirely.

In a world where Gmail can classify arbitrary mail on any topic into important, not important and spam it seems unlikely that OkCupid was unable to order received messages by quality. Seems more like an attempt to Tinderize themselves. The repeated but dubious references to how dating has been changing back this up. Has dating been changing? Or has the market been changing and OkCupid felt left out?

Too bad. I don't need to use dating sites anymore but years ago when I did OkCupid was one of the better ones. And there's nothing women appreciate more on those sites than a funny and well written opening message.
