Fair point! I think that quote should read "a random coprime to [...] to ϕ(n)". Then it makes sense.

There's a lot of math behind RSA computation and we were trying to distill as much as we could, but it's not perfect. We have added a simple example to tie everything together, but it just means that you might have to plow thru the heavy bits first.

Now, the totient it needed to compute your encryption and decryption values. You start with getting 2 primes:

n = p * q

then you compute the totient:

ϕ(n) = (p-1)(q-1)

then you compute your encryption and decryption values:

e x d = 1 mod ϕ(n)

Then your private key will be be a pair (d, n) and public key will be (e, n).

Then, given that m is message and c is cipher:

Encryption

F(m,e) = m^e mod n = c

Decryption

F(c,d) = c^d mod n = m

This means that people are investing small amounts and going for the cheaper coins using coinbase. which means that cryptocurrencies may be having their facebook moment at this time , and their network effect is about to get a LOT bigger over the next months. While people may only invest small amounts (and coinbase can and should make sure they do), cryptocurrencies will come out of this extremely strengthened if a significant number of people end up owning even a small amount of any coin. Unlike tulips which wither, these people are not likely to sell their bitcoins even if there is a correction. A world scale network of people owning coins can be a giant leap for the world economy, as coins are much more resistant to censorship than the internet itself proved to be, and unless a new kind of gold is discovered , they may prove to be a much better, easier to transfer store of value. This bubble may never burst. All of this is speculation (of course) - I wish coinbase (which seems to carry the bulk of the wave of newcomers) would release statistics about their number of users.

"but I think their point is that we don't have enough information to attribute warming specifically in the Arctic to human causes"

How many papers have you read? There are quite a few that refute your standpoint. When I say quite a few I am really taking the piss: every single scientist, and by that term I mean people who spend their lives studying things, who are responsibly qualified and who use the scientific method which involves observation, analysis and reasonable conclusion.

I'll grant you that there are many sources of bollocks that might distract you but if you stick to decent, authoritative sources you will discover that not only are things as bad as you think they are, they are actually worse.

Personally, I'm a bit of an optimist and I think we can pull back from the brink (whatever that is) but the world is gong to be a bit odd in say 100 years time for humans.

> TL;DR: Someone, at this point, who claims they have never "understood" net neutrality and wants a "thoughtful discussion" is lying to us in an attempt to derail discussions.

This is not a charitable opinion. Reading old threads on NANOG¹ has convinced me that net neutrality is more nuanced and technical than the "people vs big-ISP" narrative advanced by campaigns such as the OP. If anything, the reddit and battleforthenet bandwagons have created a hostile environment for actual debate.

¹ AFAICT, the majority NANOG opinion on net neutrality is that it doesn't actually address the underlying issue that prevents natural competition in the ISP market.

Sigh. No, I specifically said I am not aware of the historical reason that preemptive gatekeeping was chosen in lieu of normal enforcement. I am unsure how you read it as why the SEC came about. Regardless, it was a tongue in cheek way to say it's an abnormal law enforcement approach not based on failure/need.

No, after a court ruling the need for stronger net neutrality laws became evident and they put the regulations in place because of that.

It's a bad way to enforce these laws. I didn't chastise anyone for disagreeing nor did I say anything was different because something happens on a computer. And I never said the regulations shouldn't apply, but that I think they should be enforced like, say, tax or employment regulations and punish the offenders instead of artificially limiting the players. Maybe you're referring to someone else's comment?

Can you help me become familiar with the historical SEC failure that prevents them from accepting applications for non-accredited investment without strict preemptive oversight? Or more simply why can't I register a security like I register a company? Because my historical understanding is RegD has been there since the beginning of the SEC.

My biggest pet peeve about quantum computing is that no one can answer me the question of "what can quantum computing do for me?".

The answer I hear is that it helps solve the traveling salesman in record time, and that's all great and everything, but how will quantum computing be able to do things such as decrease the time it takes to train a RNN, or look up data in a database?
Hi! Thanks! I will replace truffle-contract with web3 1.0 contracts API. Current web3 1.0-beta doesn't work well with TS. The dependency was accidental since I was already using it, while writing codegen stuff took very little time and was just a helper script in a contracts repo initially. Our public API is plain async TS, truffle-contract is only an implementation detail.

Need for such solution seems so obvious given that we have Go ABI gen tool for a similar purpose and JS is the main language for DApps (and probably Node.js for backend is more popular than Go). Also, truffle migration looked like a fragile black box, and testing with `jest --watch` instead of truffle suite is much nicer and faster.

The vacuum, temperature and confinement requirements would seem to be huge problems relative to the exotic material requirement of current gates (Not to diminish the significance of accomplishing this in silicon). As far as I know these 'hard' problems have remained pretty constant in quantum computing. Are we making progress on any of them? Basically, in your opinion how are things progressing in the field with respect to the big problems with making quantum computing mainframe ubiquitous?

These are technicalities that are not important at this specific moment or applicable to the argument.

Interesting to see that Webpack has continued to gain ground on Gulp as the leading top-level build tool that people use, because from my experience it seems slightly over-engineered for 99% of use cases.

Webpack uses the "configure a black box + add a bunch of plugins" approach to the front-end build pipeline, whereas I recently used Gulp to create a beautiful build workflow using Rollup, Babel ES6, JSX, Sass, and a basic livereload webserver in less than 80 lines of very readable, plain javascript code that would take roughly 5 minutes to explain to a new developer on my team faced with build pipeline modifications.

I also don't think many people understand that using Webpack encourages non-ES6 import semantics that will break your source code if you ever decide to switch from Webpack. Encouraging things like "import app.css" seems like it might confuse junior developers who don't understand what's going on under the hood, or have to eventually work in non-Webpack systems.

Sorry for the rant here, haha, I'm a huge fan of these surveys and love taking the opportunity to talk crap on build tools / frameworks :).
The other point to keep in mind is that this is a USA issue.

> Thats why it is so important that crypto startups leave the usa to be outside the jurisdiction of the sec.

So they can all run their scams in countries that don't care? I mean, doesn't this just show that crypto startups are all about providing services to entities that, for various reasons, do not / cannot participate in the aboveground economy?

Like, what reputable, real company would have any problem existing inside the USA's jurisdiction? You could argue drug trade, which is supposedly a "victimless crime" (note: it isn't... depending on the drug, even "non-violent" drug use can fuck over a lot of people outside just the person who choses to take said drug (eg: meth, herion, oxy, etc...)). Anything else though, it is almost certainly a scammer scamming people. Why should above ground society tolerate people wanting to run ponzi schemes, people trying to cash out crypto-ransomware revenue, or people who want to deal in murder-for-hire?

Lets say I'm an ISP and I build out 2 networks. 1 is 10 times faster than the other. Both end up at the same place and then go out to users.

If I offer companies the option of paying more for the faster network, why is that a problem?

In your scenario it certainly seems reasonable that I should be able to just switch off the slower network, and keep the new prices under the argument that I put in significant amounts of money to upgrade.

Is there hard data showing sea ice melt causes ocean levels to rise? Because water will displace the same mass whether it is frozen or not. The best explanation I've heard is the loss of reflection from the sea ice will cause the water to warm, and warm water is less dense. But most sea ice is underwater, so am not sure just how much reflection is lost, and how much that affects the sea water warming.
the finance system doesnt produce anything of use to most ppl. "Liquidity" is not something you can eat.
The argument that video streaming results in tremendously one way traffic, making peering agreements unfair, seems worth considering.
The main concern for sea level rise is the melting of land ice in e.g. Greenland and Antarctica.

Here are a bunch of potential applications.
Project Golden Gate: IoT Security Platform Demo
Project Golden Gate is designed to care of the security, management, and other services so that you do not have to – letting you or a device maker focus on building and deploying their intended system.

We use micro-virtualization built on-top of a type-1 hypervisor, enabling us to build modular architectures and reduce the impact of security threats. This means we can do really cool things like separate and isolate functionality such as network/VPNs, storage, and micro-services from one another. We’ve got a lot of exciting stuff coming including support for protection against remote code exploits (without you doing anything), integration with third-party cloud providers, and we’ll be incorporating a lot of other exciting technology into the platform continuously.

As part of the beta program for Project Golden Gate, the first 100 unique downloads will receive a free Raspberry Pi 3B, so please download the demo and try it out!

Demo images and tutorials are available from https://community.cog.systems/
That is a great idea. To go one step further, it would be cool if those suggestions had budget tears. Because every implementation has some cost.
Honestly, this is just very confusing.
That would be a good step, but I don't think a preprocessor alone is enough to make this a good idea. You want good compiler error messages, static analysis tools, debuggers, code editors. You want a whole language.

On the upside they provide real world prototyping and testing of protocols at a scale that's never before been available. Standards they submit for consideration will have had a lot of real world usage to iron out kinks and be battle tested. This is a good thing, IMO.

Bitcoin looks like a bubble to me.

The way I think about investment is that you should only invest if you have a clear and rational reason to do so.

There is a rational reason to use fiat: you need to pay taxes in it. The government also provides all sorts of guarantees about your cash when deposited in a bank. These are solid, irrefutable arguments.

Investment in bitcoin seems to be based on an argument along the lines of “we need to change currency because centralised is bad” or “it’s just another form of gold”, or worse: “because it will keep going up”. None of these arguments make sense. Yes, maybe bitcoin will become a big currency. But why? Can you give a watertight answer as for the value of fiat? Some people answer “it’s decentralised”, but that is clearly untrue. Miners and exchanges are the centralised concentrations of power in bitcoin, but they are unregulated.

The idea of cryptocurrency is interesting and exciting, but investing in something purely because it’s interesting or exciting is only a good idea if you’re happy to lose that money. No doubt bitcoin is important as a technological milestone, but that does not make it a good investment.

When bitcoin crashes, it could undermine various startups, which will have a knock-on effect to the startup bubble we’re in. Presumably that won’t be enough to crash a stock market, unless bitcoin reaches astronomical levels.

Hmm. Maybe I should buy some gold.

If the company in question is a customer of the ISP, there is no problem. The problem I mentioned was when you, as a company, have to pay money not just to your own ISP, but to your customer's ISP, just to give them their data.
