1. The attack the MIT team developed on IOTA was a way to efficiently brute force wallet key combos to forge transactions of funds.

2. Every other cryptocurrency has implemented the seed generator as it's the most basic and fundamental feature necessary for this type of software. It's so trivial to implement, it really begs the question of why the IOTA team didn't just include it in all their software releases.

3. The comment CEO David Sønstebø was directly replying to was just commenting on how confusing the software is compared to other cryptocurrency wallets:

I know it sounds simple newb mistake, but even me I
probably would have made that mistake and having been
using crypto for a while.

So to sum it up don't use same receive address in IOTA.
I'll try to burn that in the back of my brain.

To add insult to injury regarding the OP who lost $30,000, it sure sounded like David was indirectly referencing that users loss with his response to the above comment

Might be slightly off topic, but have you used Clatter from the Windows Store? Logs into 10 or 15 web clients at once. URLs can be added. Looks to be encapsulated edge, but highly useful.
They are on the "tip" tree (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/...), so they'll probably be sent to Linus as soon as the merge window opens (Linux 4.15 has just been released, so the merge window should open soon). I expect these patches to be on 4.16, and also to be backported to the stable releases (4.15.x and others).

But yeah, upstream Linux kernel development is taking it slow. As far as I can see, variant 3 mitigations (PTI) are already in, variant 2 mitigations are partially in (retpoline) and partially not (the microcode dependent ones), and variant 1 mitigations are still under discussion.
It was a hack. I knew the C compiler could do these optimizations at compile-time that would take me longer to implement at run-time and would probably introduce mistakes. I could well have used the C-processor, but the parameters needed to be taken from a file for each program.

The simulation was run about 100 times with different parameters. Instead of taking about an hour each they instead took about 12 minutes each, with the only difference being baking in all the parameters as constants and letting GCC do the rest.
I tend to think it's because the folk who trade with stock very well know that these "issues" are actually features.
I can also bet that that "grilling" they get from US government is not about the mess the chip flaws are doing , it's about why the "flaws" were publicly announced.

I use Google Docs. It's very simple but effective. In it, I have:

* a packing checklist (peace of mind and helps you to not forget to pack certain things like pills, chargers, etc.),

* daily outline of spots I want to hit (collected through a combination a Wikitravel and friends' recommendations)

* important phone numbers (AirBnB hosts, emergency etc.), URLs to museum ticketing sites, admission ticket discount sites, etc.

* a png of my passport.

I also have a printed copy of said document in case my phone dies or whatever.

I duplicate the doc the next trip, delete the irrelevant bits and add new relevant bits. Most other data stay the same.

It's important for me to keep things simple and dynamic. I used to have more complicated systems, but simple lets you explore but still have peace of mind. Travel is a dynamic thing, and one has to allow for serendipity.

The project doesn't currently come with it's own seed generator so users are left using (sometimes) shady third-party services, such as this website.

The developers insist that it's not a currency intended for 'speculation between users' but rather for a particular machine-to-machine usecase, which is how they attempt to dodge lots of the criticism regarding the flaws in both the crypto and UX.

I was just thinking there should be a note that "Artificial Intelligence" doesn't mean improved morality or reduce bias unless someone consciously builds those into a system.

Likely it will be used to implement/enhance whatever goals the owner wishes, likely uses will be waste reduction (or profit maximization) in areas like manufacture, transactions, and human labor.
From the documentation[1], it looks like the underlying storage requirement is similar to what would be required to store the string representation of the JSON in a TEXT-type field; however, unlike TEXT fields, there is no length limit other than the global system variable max_allowed_packet (which defaults to 4 MB).

Not really. The system certainly isn't perfect, but the vast majority of people convicted are actually guilty.

Is the system vulnerable to a person being targeted, evidence fabricated, and a false conviction obtained? Yes, assuming malicious intent or corruption. I'm not sure AI fixes that.

I think there's a "social proximity" effect to it.

If you see someone you consider immensely superior to yourself on TV, for example, you're likely to consider yourself either disconnected (and not threatened) by them, or entertain a fantasy of "I could be that someday" (see: most Americans).

Alternatively, if you see someone you consider even slightly superior to yourself who is situated similarly in social hierarchy to you, or who you encounter as a peer or near-peer in your everyday life (e.g. a classmate, friend, or sibling), the threat response is much stronger.

I don't know why this is (maybe "this person maybe could take my food/resources/whatever, notices me, and is materially able to take from me" versus "this person definitely could take my food/resources/whatever but does not know me and is not materially able to take from me" brain-stem thinking?)

there is no preprocessor template overloading, or overloading at all really. The preprocessor has nothing to do with templates.
I could easily see a chat thread with Alexa where I can ask things I don't want to say out loud.

Like:

- "Number for city of [myCity] utilities"

- "[what's the current] bitcoin price"

- "what's my checking account balance"

- "remind me on the first to change the air filter every [X] months"

Etc. Essentially this would be used while I don't want to bother people around me. I'll be eager to use a voice assistant when it becomes convenient for me. Siri isn't there yet, but my Alexa interactions are damn-near close already (No experience with Google or others). If this saves me from opening up a google tab, or some little-used app then I'm all for it.

What Alexa considers Utterances can simply be interpreted as text instead of speech[-to-text]. The testing tools for Alexa Skills already allows this. Hell, I developed a skill with a strong user base without an Echo device at all.

I use Alexa/Amazon in this case because I've used it first-hand. Any other AI would work just as well (as talking directly to it).
I knew my username would be exposed at some point :)

The robot will absolutely have to weigh as much as a Marquez - just look at the disadvantage that a super-light rider like Pedrosa has on some tracks - he just can't get enough heat into the tyres to generate enough grip.

Humans adapt quickly to changes in the bikes and variations in tyres and surfaces, the robot however, could in theory be directly linked up to the electronic systems to get direct rather than physical feedback (I'd call that cheating)...
That's interesting. I was told to eat and drink nothing except enough water to swallow the pills I needed to take beforehand (pain killers and an antibiotic).

It sounds like you're using one of the older builds. Right now Zyn has VST/LV2 builds for OSX though a jack style standlone isn't included in more recent builds.

As per AU support that largely depends upon it getting implemented in the plugin abstraction layer which is borrowed from the DISTRO Plugin infrastructure: https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF

If you find the idea of using a Raspberry PI for live use interesting I'd recommend taking a look at the work that http://zynthian.org/ have been working on. They're a pretty cool open hardware/software project that does just that (for Zyn and other synths/effects).
From their Learning IOTA FAQ:

What makes IOTA quantum-secure?

IOTA uses hash-based signatures (https://www.imperialviolet.org/2013/07/18/hashsig.html) instead of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). Not only is hash-based signatures a lot faster than ECC, but it also greatly simplifies the overall protocol (signing and verification). What actually makes IOTA quantum-secure is the fact that we use Winternitz signatures. IOTA's ternary hash function is called Curl.)[1]

Curl is designed by Genetic Algorithm. I wonder how they could test this? Did they 'do the math'?

Segregated networks are hard, and usually end up punctured very quickly when someone wants remote access to the segregated system. Or builds a bridge using a system connected to both networks.

Ask HN: How to leave client on a good note?
I am a full-stack developer based in India. I have been working with a client for over 2 years as a solo developer.
I am REALLY proud of what we have done and the kind of product we have developed.

I want to leave the client and focus on better things now, majorly because:

1. The client is very slow in launching their first version (they have taken 2 years already) 2. Clients are doing it with their full time job (as a side hustle) 3. They are usually slow in paying 4. They have not increased the pay in last 2 years

Although they agreed to pay for another junior developer, but within that budget I could only hire a fresher that needs guidance all the time. Basically increasing my work even more.

I kind of feel stuck in this whole thing now and want to do something more productive. (I have other clients willing to pay more). But, I want to ensure that client is not losing on their investment just because there is no one to maintain their product.

What do you think are my options?
Belief is real.
GnuPG however lacks forward security, and that is seen as a downside compared to alternatives.
Pretty much, except with more parameters taken from a file. The substituting in of parameters was done in Python just so that I could manually check the output for a few cases.

I think if I had to do something similar again today, any script would output a shell script that used command line macro definitions. That didn't really occur to me at the time.
> institutions lend .. on many multiples of what they actually have in deposits.

That is not true at all. You are probably thinking of the minimum capital requirements (banks leverage) which measures all lending (bank assets) against their common equity. Deposits and credits are roughly equal and the minimum capital is required to cover mispricing on their assets. And no, banks are not being deregulated in this regard. In fact Basel III which regulates those reserve ratios is much stricter and it took several years for banks to recapitalize to the new minimum levels.

Or you are thinking about the bank's deposit with the fed (the fractional reserve part). But those reserves are not a problem for banks because if there is lack of reserves on the interbank market and the price (interest rate) of borrowing reserve increases above the fed's funds rate, then the Fed steps in and provides the reserves at the rate it wants to keep. This is part of central banking because a central bank cannot simultaneously control the amount of reserves AND the interest rate.
1) No, the whole implementation of the ledger is written in ternary. Its current hasing function is called Kerl. The vulnerability that DCI claimed existed is impossible to be used in the wild because an attacker would have to have seed level access to the wallet at which point, any attack vector becomes moot.

2) The IOTA Foundation and the community expressly warned not to trust unaffiliated sites. Saying they relied on them is just shady. Would we hang TBL for inventing email because people had their money stolen by nigerian scammers? No, because shifting blame on the man would be even more stupid than wiring thousands of dollars to someone you don't know. Seedgeneration is, in this current non-feature-complete implementation simply not a priority. Creating a seed is not hard and if you can't muck one up, nobody is forcing anyone to try and feed their greed trying to "enter at the ground floor, lambo lol!!!" using IOTA. I would wait for a wallet implementation that comes with a generator.

3) IOTA is very very young by far not feature complete. Hanging it out to dry because it isn't yet isn't exactly fair. Everything had to start somewhere. Though, with all that in mind, it still works rather well in my experience and it scales. It solves a lot of problems inherent with blockchain and it has a future market goal it wants to service. The rest is speculation. As always, I guess.
You’ll be able to develop everything except iOS apps. What if you want to build one at some point?
Erm, maybe I made that not clear enough, but I was arguing from the point of view of the common people.

Not my point of view.

My point of view is now spread out all over this thread. That it is indeed complex.

But of course, I also agree that there is also truth to that statement, the stronger your (ethical) terrorists fighting agency, the less terrorism.

But yes, if you fight terrorism by bombing villages somewhere else, maybe you have a bad long term strategy.

The designer for Curl was a Genetic Algorithm.
You can build Harvey with clang if you prefer, or possibly even pcc. Getting Harvey compiling with GCC/clang meant translating Plan 9's C dialect into ISO C. The translation process means there wasn't a lot of opportunity to introduce GCCisms, so any standards-compliant C compiler should be able to build Harvey. I say should because you may run into one or two small nits that have to be fixed before it'll work, and of course you have to find an up-to-date C compiler that's not GCC or Clang (I guess it would be good to try icc?)
For the record he stopped standing by those terms back around 2006 or so.

I build a $3000 beast like half a year before i bought the laptop. I also had a MBP 2015 before. While given i dont do compiled language very often i dont fully agree. My VM startup times barely differ (dont most scripting languages boot single core anyway?) but i notice a real difference when working with huge databases compared to my MBP because i simply have better RAM and a faster SSD. However surely my desktop build was even faster.

Very true! I wish D's metaprogramming was slightly more structured instead of relying on raw string concatenation. However, it's not so bad, and it's miles ahead of C++ metaprogramming in terms of ease of use. It's nice that it's so much more deliberately conceived. There's static if, static for, compile-time function evaluation, template and string mixins, and more!

I think D's metaprogramming is very close to lisp, possibly as close as possible without having sexps.

I'm more in your camp, but I bought my dad an ipad for xmas and Siri has made all the difference with him. He's very smart but not computer literate, so the typing, tapping, apps, settings, app store—all that just confused him. Being able to control the ipad with voice really opened it up to him. Though I do get some weird emails now :-)

I do think that there are people who actively try to divide the country on racial lines because it personally benefits them. Most notably, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. David Duke gets media attention every time there is a national election because for some reason his opinion means something. I think there is currently a hysteria about a racism epidemic in the US that doesn't really hold true.

A lot of what was said in parent comments is true and I agree with. Though I don't think it really reflects today. At least not where I'm from. Perhaps there is more of that on the East coast, but I think as you go to the midwest and west coast you get less of that kind of division. There are definitely racists, but there are a lot more who live with a "live and let live", or attempt to adopt a "colorblind" (which is now racist apparently), worldview.

I think most whites in the US feel like they are the scapegoats for some other groups misfortunes. When no one alive had much to do with past injustices. Can you really blame past injustices for decisions of people today? In 1965 the out of wedlock birth rate was 25% and now it is almost 75%. Single parent homes come with a host of problems and much higher rates of crime, drug abuse, and lack of education.

So the likes of Jesse Jackson and Sharpton look at things like police shooting statistics (which is misleading in how they characterize them) and act like that is the biggest problem facing black people in the US. People feel enraged by what is perceived to be "unjust" police violence, sometimes rightly. Jackson and Sharpton raise their own profiles, and essentially run a "don't get called racist" money laundering operation through foundations they run.

The real problems don't get addressed and those who attempt to are called "racists" or "uncle toms" and the cycle continues. It is disgusting and sad.
It's weird that you're blaming my operating system's problems on me.

No one is blaming you specifically, it is a common way of saying, “if you write operating systems, and you do $THING, you will get $RESULT.” Common, but wrong, which is why your high school English teacher will ding you for phrasing something that way.
I think looking at this through the lens of building startups is why your judgment of it is different to mine.

I agree with everything you've said, in the context of startups, but I think this is just a one-man side project. If it makes any money at all, it's a winner.
Template metaprogramming just shifts the burden of computation to compile time. Sure, I could pre-compute the first 10000 factorials, put them in an array, compile and then print the answer in constant time. But it'll work for the first 10000 numbers only.

Having some external entity be the gatekeeper for basic use of your device increases the potential for being locked out for no fault of your own.

Maybe I skimmed the article too quickly, but AQ seems like something the author made up without any sort of scientific backing, with only vague anecdote-likes:

We all have that friend who loathes change and another who thrives on new experiences. We’re already aware that AQ exists and varies from person to person, but we’re not talking about it enough–and don’t have a compelling way to test or improve it.
That attitude of "technical sweetness" is alarmingly immature. The reason to pursue dangerous technologies is because Pandora's Box is open, and it is every technically able person's duty to know and understand dangerous technologies so they can be understood, defused when necessary, and maintained without this damn theater the powers that be use to project everyone into children who must be coddled by the state.
