> The agency also prides itself on an almost obscene reliance on Polygraphs, a technology no more accurate or scientifically sound than a babushka shuffling chicken bones and reading tea leaves.

I can't find out why I see smart people repeating this all the time. It's not true. Polygraphs are very flawed, and they are especially vulnerable to preparatory countermeasures, but they have non-trivial predictive power.

When I ask people to justify their dismissal of polygraphs, they generally point to the fact that they are not allowed in court, but this is a terrible reason. Hearsay isn't allowed in court either but that doesn't mean it isn't useful.

They aren't. Most of what you hear about people being "eager and trigger-happy to sue these days" is due to two factors.

First, the US has weak consumer protection agencies, which means when a company does do something wrong, the only effective resolution is through the civil court system.

Second, companies hate class-action lawsuits and have spent decades promoting the idea that people sue too much and that the court system is full of frivolous cases.

Remember, most people can't afford a lawsuit. It's very expensive, and there's always the chance of failing. Class-action lawsuits are the only way to make it practical when a company actually does something seriously negligent.

Which is why companies don't like it. What they really want is to minimize consumer protections. Hence the trend to switch customers to mandatory arbitration, which keep people from being able to file class-action lawsuit. Hence laws like the Texas damage caps, which make it easier for a company to carry out grossly negligent practices with out worrying about punitive damages.

And why they publish lists of "outrageous" court filings. They want people like you to think it's a problem, so be biased against lawsuits and those who file for lawsuits.

SpaceX for sure. Tesla, maybe. SolarCity? What did they do except destroy a bunch of investor's money?

Evidence is that as more women enter a field, or start gaining visibility, salaries typically go down. This is why people assume "women choose lower paying roles" - the reality is that people see any jobs that women do as less valuable and compensation over time adjusts to meet that belief.
Well, he's definitely discouraging using it in the post. He also strawmans the usability with his power, flexibility, and huge man page argument. Here's how easy it is to use after you swap keys with someone:

1. Type message in a text file.

2. Use one command to encrypt that.

3. Send the encrypted file to the other party using what medium you deem convenient or necessary.

4. Other person uses one command to decrypt it.

That's all. There's people in police states that communicate with me regularly with that method. Non-technical people I've shown find it simple but tedious. So, that's what we should recommend if we want to avoid the complexity. If he's being fair, that's what Moxie should be comparing any new solution against when assessing how easy it can be (or isn't) to use GPG.

Further, we can either modify the program and/or put a front end in to remove what little complexity it has. Especially knock out the ridiculous delay on randomness, pick good ciphers by default, and eliminate putting the sender/receiver full name in there. Just click a person's name for the latter. I'd have already done the stuff myself if I could stomach learning C++ plus whatever the author's style is. Maybe add SaferCPlusPlus or something like that to further reduce likelihood of code injection. If preventing injection and using isolation mechanisms, one could just freeze the forked codebase not adding anything else to it past protocol-level fixes that are required over time for just the features one uses to encrypt or decrypt a text file. Then, slowly rewrite and/or subtract pieces from it to make it simpler over time.

That should've been the response a long time ago. It would've saved cryptographers and security professionals that know C++ a lot of criticism. They could've just posted a link to the simplified program I just described that's a two-step process for each party when sending messages.

I hate the pattern primarily because it overloads the name "pkg" which is already used in your go workspace at least one directory up to store compiled library files.

Do we know that? There is a lot of speculation but the embargo is not lifted yet afaik. There are obviously elements of this that are remaining intentionally obscured pending embargo expiry (redacted comments), so it could be that a smaller contingent of chips are affected and no one is bothering to correct the damage/limit the patch only to applicable components so that the cat doesn't get out of the bag too soon (side benefit: so that an extensive emergency fix like this can be widely tested before it's applied to a relatively limited set of hardware).

Seems just as valid as any other speculation to me.

The structural core of feminist argument patterns is this: Let's divide humans into two disjoint sets, let's call them A and B.

- If a member of A acts in a way leading to success: unfair privilege

- If a member of A acts in a way leading to failure: well it was an A choice.

- If a member of B acts in a way leading to success: you go Bs!

- If a member of B acts in a way leading to failure: anti-B bias.

Listened to an FT article about this yesterday (https://goo.gl/2p8fDH) on the back of a VC's prediction of a tie-up in 2018. It would definitely place added competitive pressures on Walmart and, I imagine, allow Amazon to build a bigger/better Click and Collect business.

You Got Priced Out of  Philadelphia? The Spread of Hot Housing Markets
> My parents wouldn't let me go _anywhere_ by myself until I was at least 17.

My parents were early adopters of this, about 20 years ago. They wanted me to be 15-16. I don't remember exactly, since by that point I was well practised at lying about why I'd be late home from school, who I'd be with, etc, so it didn't make much difference.

Age 10, my friend's parents let him take the public bus home alone (like most parents, I think). Mine didn't, and I didn't like being in the 2-3 kids waiting at the school for my mum to collect me, especially as she was always late.

So there was "computer club" on Wednesdays, "robot club" on Fridays, and "technology club" erratically. They were (or had been) real after-school clubs, so I'd sometimes show up for a few minutes, in case my parents asked a teacher about it. Mostly I'd spend the hour walking around the weirder streets in the city. (Unusual example: going to the fetish/bondage with my friend so he could buy the net shirt to dress up like the main character in Rocky Horror.)

Weekends were more difficult, it needed good co-operation from friends and their parents.

Essentially, by restricting my independence far beyond the average of my peers, I lost a huge amount of trust and respect for my parents. This has still not recovered.
Same, my mom would regularly write a note asking the clerk to sell me cigarettes (for her). It worked.

I can't even imagine how that would play out in current times.

That is a very interesting conversation, although OT. But it is interesting to think about whether there should be an alternative for those not wanting kids such as getting the leave anyways to use on whatever.

On the other hand there might be reason that we should give incentive to give birth to more kids.
I ran into SIP yesterday trying to disable the notification center. Why there's no way to turn it off like every previous version of osx is beyond me.

> Is the Kentucky State going to call a school in Bangladesh to verify the transcript? Wealthy people who can afford to send kids to school in US with full tuition can probably find a way to "buy" a good transcript from a local school. Maybe you meant that SAT is a requirement, then yes, it thing might have changed and it is more challenging.

They often do. And admission committees learn from experience: if they admit students from a school and they don't perform well, they recruit less from that school the next year. Conversely, if they have students performing well, they will continue to admit more. There is a chain of trust.

I'd go further. We need to get back to: "If you have a problem, pick an adult and ask for help." Really. Most threats to children are people they know. Random strangers are almost always helpful in a situation.
From my experience as someone having moved to California from Canada, it seems there is quite a large homeless population which actively chooses to be in California as opposed to other places owing to its extremely mild climate.

Since I moved to San Jose, it's only rained a handful of times, and this place's harsh colds of winter have reached such dreadful temperatures as I'd witness on a mild fall day in my former country of residence.

That certainly can't help those numbers, even if I do think the absurd costs of living are quite bad, depressing the QOL for everyone outside of the engineer class here.

A majority of Division I programs. Only 252 out of 674 football programs and 351 out of 1099 men's basketball programs are Division I.

Division II[1] football and men's basketball programs are universally money losers. Every single one lost money. The Division III report[2] doesn't include as much detail, but I doubt that any of them are profitable either.

Pointing out apparent independence in a variable is not whataboutism, it's ideal deconstruction.
I think you are correct. I am in the UK and I saw a change happen to the students that went to university after I left. This was early nineties so pre-internet. Nothing to do with screens. However, my generation created and participated in untold amount of parties. We did not go to official organised events most of the time, more things we did. So no fancy concerts with known acts, just some of us playing records, everyone else dancing or propping up the bar (or taking drugs). In fact even the drug taking was different, it was about the 'raves' and not the drugs. People didn't take the drugs outside of the events. Undoubtedly the drug scene was a huge appeal to some but more people were happy on regular alcohol.

The generation that came along after just did not have the aptitude for getting together with a few hundred close friends for beach parties or illegal raves. At the same time the 'rave' scene or proper party scene had been killed off by capitalism, with larger venues in big cities - nightclubs - being the new thing.

In the days of partying the idea of spending a Friday/Saturday in front of a screen and not going out would be tantamount to hell. Also, back in the day, it would be possible to physically see a party event and hear the music. Nowadays that never happens, I don't see house parties as frequently as how they used to happen, e.g. on a Saturday night walking back across town there is no party to be heard, everything has to be properly organised now.

I think that the change happened with Reagan/Thatcher and how the individual mattered more than society, we become atomised then.

It would be nice to know how teenagers partied before the invention of the teenager to see the whole pattern and not assume everything is due to me being 'getting old'.

First and foremost, dont buy Intel stock. This doesnt help, but I long considered Intel as a company that doesnt know what they are doing. Here is why:

I owned Intel back in 2010 when they bought McAfee for 7.8 billion. They said the future of CPU's and chip tech was embedding security on the chip. the real answer was mobile and gpus.

Not only did I immediately know this was a horrendous deal, it clearly showed that the CEO and management had no clue on their own market's desires and direction. At the time, I was hoping they were going to buy Nvidia, it would have been a larger target to digest at 10 bil, but doable by Intel at the time.

The MacAfee purchase turned out to be one of the worst large cooperate purchases in history. Had they invested the 7.8 billion $ blindly into an sp500 index fund, their investment would be worth ~19-20 billion.
I've seen that message. It acknowledges the same problems: do-nothing problems over a local unix socket.

I’m not (yet) clear on if/how this impacts aarch64 (ARM architecture) chips, the distinction between how it affects Intel vs. doesn’t affect AMD reminds us of a fundamental lesson we seem to have conveniently forgotten: monocultures of anything are bad. We need diversity and diversification in order to have reasonable amount of robustness in the face of unknowable, unpredictable risks.

I’m wondering whether ARM chips are affected if they are whether they are uniformly affected or whether it depends on vendor implementation choices.
Old multi-user time sharing generally had agents that were 'somewhat' trusted. Most systems that had 'secret' data didn't allow time sharing with data of less privileged. Also, outside of the timeshared server users attempting to exploit this wouldn't likely have the processing capability to deduce the contents of said cache.

While vitamin D can help with sleep overall, I've read that vitamin D can temporarily interfere with melatonin production immediately after ingesting. So you shouldn't take it at night, too close to bedtime.

Of course, I've also read many people take it at night with no negative effects – and that, as a hormone, it absorbs more efficiently overnight in a sleeping state.

So, this is probably one of things that affects people differently, but it's just something to be cognizant of. If you take it a night and feel restless, try switching to the morning.

I also have a close friend who gets severely constipated with most vitamin D. It took her a lot of trial and error to find a brand that did not constipate her, which I cannot remember right now.
There are places in the US that offer that type of experience, as well as several other alternatives to crowded noisy bars. Although it could be location dependent on what your options are.
