"can you (easily) recover the data"

This rules out encryption+key-deletion as erasure because while you may not be able to (easily) recover the data, someone with more computing power could (now or in the future)

What about old magnetic disks and tape backups ? Even if you erase them they could possibly be recovered by someone else with the right resources
But that already does not happen under the GDPR right? Criminal record keeping still works the way it used to.

And what about the person who was wrongly accused/convicted of murder? He deserves to have his incorrect history forgotten, does he not?
About 10% of the defense budget or 1% of GDP is US military aid that can be spent only on US military hardware.
Thank you for asking more explanations so nicely, and sorry for being so cryptic.

I think that welfare in the US is about philanthropy, charity and "good will", and not about "social rights" as in Europe.

And that comment showed exactly that attitude: the guy is kinda confused on why that woman refuses his "good will". She is asking for rights, he is offering "good will".

In my opinion, her answer created a cognitive dissonance in his mind, and that's why he answers back so angrily. I find that attitude to social welfare super American.

I think that the American approach to welfare has ethical and practical limits. Welfare based on philanthropy and good will is not an efficient welfare: it won’t change much. It also adds a moral dimension that (imho) shouldn't be there…

Sorry for the late answer!
>A neighbor is installing the same type of tech in his house (he's admittedly an early adopter/gadget lover, so he isn't as concerned with the payback period).

My parents used to apply a same kind of solution for our own house. It's called 'turn of the lights when you leave a room'.
At least used in a political context, I've never seen “flyovee state” (which is mostly, in that context, a conservative stereotype of a liberal pejorative) used to refer to Illinois or the Midwest states to its east, only those to its west and the Western States not on the Pacific Coast.
> Australia has documented kites and falcons, colloquially termed “firehawks,” intentionally carrying burning sticks to spread fire.

They literally used interpretative dance to document this.

What a load of shit. Like the entire article.

A great example of really bad western science.

Flying requires more energy. In a world where energy efficiency is only increasing in importance, that's a big problem.

Also, if everyone is commuting to work by landing on rooftops, then streets will no longer be dangerous: rooftops will be because they will be crowded with drones dropping off thousands of people.
As a confluence admin, i can only agree. This looks like Confluence with Hipchat and a colorful CSS integrated. Pretty sure this is where a lot of the inspiration is coming from. One can only hope they will not take the atlassian approach on solving feature-request or bug-fixes, because then it would actually be confluence :) Will give it a test run however.
The DMCA is applicable in Israel via the bilateral trade agreement with the US.
You're right about that. Also, it looks like I'm not necessarily locked to any particular system since most of them use the same underlying structure. I can easily move to something else when I need to.

I've got the domain, gonna end up hosting it on either Firebase, Netlify or GH Pages and I think I'm settling for Hugo since everyone here has spoken positively about it.

Thank you for your suggestions! :)
Using 1Password to store your 2fA seed makes it single factor because your password and second factor are stored in the same place. This is not a good idea.

Yubikeys in U2F mode are better than any OTP because they protect you against phishing attacks. 1Password auto-filling arguably has this property too, but you should disable that sort of password manager behavior:

Guido van Rossum: BDFL Python 3 retrospective
I haven't done the course, but I'm fairly sure that XOR isn't a universal gate, so you probably don't start out with "nothing more than an xor gate." Based on the name, I would guess you start out with only NAND, which is a universal gate.
Accusation of "what-aboutism" is the real BS cold-war trick (notice how it's also one-sided itself: it's an accusation against the other side of which the good people of our side are clear).

It amounts to "put on blinders and follow your side when it accuses the other, and never see things in perspective".

It generally means that only one side has the right to criticize (if the other side answers back, it's "whataboutism") -- and that third parties shouldn't call bot the pot and kettle black (it's whataboutism to even mention the pot), and instead should listen to the pot accusing the kettle of blackness.

Even worse when it's not bloody business of the pot what the kettle does -- but they want to make it so anyway, because they like to boss other kitchen implements around.

You do develop a kind of situational awareness over time.
That is akin to this:

“Hey, your house door is unlocked.”

“What are you talking about? I left it unlocked on purpose, but it is safe, I wired the metal handle to the power plug, nobody bad can get in.”

“What about the good ones?”

“I installed a Coordinator™ that calls me when you ring, and I can open the door remotely.”

“Wait, didn’t you make this house with the promise that everyone with the key could use it?”

“… well, I don’t see you finding a vulnerability!”
Regardless of your opinions on the subject it's a bad thing for the platform. If 90% of the content is highly divisive then it's going to "taint" STEEM by association, people will assume that if you're posting there it's because you adhere to that point of view. Good luck becoming a Youtube-like general purpose video host in these conditions.

See 8chan for instance: I really like the blend of reddit's flexibility (where anybody can create their own board) coupled with 4chan-style anonymity and lack of karma/upvotes etc...

Unfortunately 8chan became the destination for the generally super far-right 4channers who were too extreme even by 4chan standards. It's like 4chan's 4chan if you will. With such a reputation good luck convincing people to join your knitting-themed board on 8chan.

Similarly, Dailymotion is reputed for porn/NSFW/copyrighted content not available on Youtube and Voat is like 8chan but for redditors.

An additional data point:

Some gnuk tokens, such as the Nitrokey Start support Curve25519, also for SSH authentication (I use this). Of course, gnuk tokens have a different set of trade-offs:

- In contrast to Yubikeys, the firmware is open source and can be verified.

- It uses a curve that is considered safe [1]. Some security experts don't trust the NIST curves.

- In contrast to the Yubikey, it does not use tamper-resistant storage, but just a regular microcontroller. AFAIK it does store the keys encrypted though.

- There is no physical confirmation for key use, only PIN confirmation (with a maximum number of tries).

However, gnuk keys are very affordable. E.g. I purchased my Nitrokeys for 29 Euro each.

A completely different approach is to use your phone (and its secure element) as a crypto token. E.g. using Krypton [2]. Of course, this is only viable if you trust your phone manufacturer and operating system.

Well, like eval(), it's only a security issue if you're reading pickled files from untrusted sources (that is, anywhere an attacker could have modified them). If you just ship them along with your Python source files, then it's a moot problem, since the attacker could just edit the source files.

Right? This has been a huge problem for anyone whos's considering starting anything these days. Variety is good, but sometimes I feel that we've just got too many choices and I find them to be exhausting sometimes. Or maybe it's just me? Not sure.

If this is an opern source repo on GitHub/GitLab, I think you could argue that the developer "made the data public" in giving it to you in the first place. That's an exception to the requirement to delete data. The same goes for public ledgers.

The tricky situation is when someone puts personal data not about themselves, but about a third party into a public ledger...
The Galaxy S8* has a "Do Not Disturb" mode which allows you to whitelist contacts for incoming calls and messages, and apps that can create notifications.

It's meant to be a temporary setting, like to turn on while in a meeting or while sleeping, but I have it set to run 24 hours a day, only allowing people in my "favorites" to call me, everyone in my contacts list to message me, and only allowing notifications from a couple apps.

I just set it up a week ago, and I absolutely love how little I'm bothered by my phone now, including no more calls from bots, which I was receiving around 4-6 times a day.

* I assume most recent Samsung equivalents have this feature as well. My S6 had it.

Thanks jxub, I need a short term strategy indeed. In about one year I'll pay a large amount in taxes to the Spanish government so anyway I need to exchange everything within the next 12 months or so. The ETF looks like a good idea, but if you look at the oscillations there are currently in the USD/EUR exchange rate, it is possible to make the same you make with ETF in one year in just a couple of days. This is why I think to have some decent strategy is useful in this case.
It depends on when you need that money and for what without which it's difficult to give you any advise.
What do you do after you've stopped it? Now you have a parked car, you don't have the ability to drive it away. (If you did, you would have skipped the faraday cage net.)

So you need a tow truck to actually take the car into your control where you can do with it what you will (sell it, etc.). But if you had a tow truck, you could just steal any parked car, so how is the self-driving car worse off?
No, they do not. For example, look at Jewish and Muslim food laws. Back at 0AD (and earlier) science didn't know about microorganisms, but the population sure knew that e.g. mixing milk and meat was dangerous. Or that knackers, slaughterhouses and burial sites must be outside city limits to prevent disease spread.

discussing vulnerabilities is misleading since it's in this case not something you can put into a PoC. It's not code that's vulnerable¹. The whole argument is that the math is wrong but more correctly should be that the behavior of Curl has never been defined. You can't proof something doesn't behave the way it should when it was never defined what that behavior is in the first place.

Python 3 uses a new pickling format (protocol) by default. That doesn't mean Python 2 isn't vulnerable.
While Kotlin is a nice language, it doesnt come with a "hot code swap" feature. The goal of flutter was to making mobile development fun and fast again. Dart comes with the hot swapping feature. Changes to your code are shown in the app immediately. This is a big win!

Try flutter for yourself to see how this is a major improvement over Java or Kotlin. If Kotlin has hot swapping it would be a good candidate.

I do like Kotlin better than Dart, but Dart and kotlin look alike a lot. And to be honest, most code looks very similar. But development speed in Dart + Flutter is 10x faster than building an app in Kotlin for Android, and Swift in iOS.

What you're saying is that it's dirt cheap if you have a small amount of data. On the other hand, if for whatever reason you need to back up, say, 1TB worth of video files, it's extraordinarily expensive.

I think it's just the wrong pricing model to have a flat rate per gigabyte. A flat rate looks simple, but far from being transparent or 'honest', it's essentially arbitrary in this case. Other than backend storage, Tarsnap's main non-fixed cost is Colin's time providing support - but that scales mainly with the number of customers, barely at all with the amount of data they're using. Thus, heavy data users are effectively subsidizing light data users, who pay far less than their 'fair share' of costs.

> But it's things from the outside that are falling in, and that make a black hole. Since they take an infinite amount of time to fall in, the black hole never forms in the first place.

They only take an infinite time to fall in once a black hole has formed; OTOH, unless I misunderstand, the time would asymptotically approach infinity up to that point, which seems to have a similar effect.
Right? I didn't expect it at all. It's my first (maybe?) post here and it just blew up. Love all the suggestions though. Quite a lot of them were immensely useful! :)

Generally, yes, though Smil doesn't really develop the concept of complexity and collapse as Tainter does.

Tainter is cited in the book, though unfortunately the citations / notes format is one that makes it exceedingly difficult to sort out where (this is one of my few complaints with this book, and Smil's writing generally -- he follows a social sciences citations format of (Author <year>) inline, which makes finding, and identifying, references tedious -- I'm the sort of cat who really likes either section-based endnotes or page-based footnotes for tracking things).

That said: Smil's citations are excellent, and his books are worth buying for the references alone. They're also far more worth buying (or reading) for the actual text, but good refs are a very strong bonus.

If you're interested in Tainter's view, I would suggest taking a look, if you can find a copy, at Manfred Weissenbacher's Sources of Power, published in 2009, and covering much the same concept. Weissenbacher's approach is similar to Smil's, and the latter cites Smil's earlier book, Energy in World History (1992) extensively. Weissenbacher looks far more into the political aspects of energy regimes, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries, and arguably to a fault.

The book is also extensively researched, though far-less-evenly written than Smil's. Neither author is a native English speaker, but Smil has a far better command of the language, and the discipline and/or editorial assistance to tighten up and clean up his writing. That said, despite the similarities, the works do complement one another.

Another author I'd recommend is William Ophuls, particularly Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity (1977, revised ~1994), which predates but also anticipates much of Tainter's work. Ophul's background and focus is politics and polity, but through the lenses of ecology and Limits to Growth particularly. His forecast of political developments strikes me as particularly good, capturing much of what actually did transpire, with few failures, save the quite notable one that we have so far managed to avoid an absolutely devastating general famine. But his national / regional assessment strikes me as pretty true -- it's based on the US, EU, USSR (still a thing, though he saw trouble for it), China, India, Africa, and Latin America, generally.

Well people still advertise on Reddit next to T_D and other nutjob subreddits. Unfortunately.
By avoiding a service, because it's used by people you don't agree with, you act exactly like those people. You're not one bit better than them.

By the way, you'll find that kind on Youtube and Facebook, too. I hope you avoid both of them. Best avoid Google all together, because they own Youtube and are guilty by association.
As somebody who’s working on a highly related topic, I’m thrilled to see the research explained so well here. But unfortunately I am unable to assess the quality of the findings because the researchers have decided to buck convention and went to the press before publishing their scientific manuscript.

And this immediately sets off alarm bells: Unfortunately experience shows that when researchers skip the “due process” of peer evaluation and go directly to the press they usually oversell their findings. I hope this isn’t the case here, and the findings hold up under scrutiny.

My own experience is that working with sperm RNA is a b*tch because of high stochastic noise. It’s basically impossible to get any clear signal from a whole-transcriptome assay. I’m therefore quite interested in their quantification.

I never got the impression that HN “hates” Ethereum, but I will say that the primary language used for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain has some disconcerting properties.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14810008

It is still not entirely clear to me how much of these things are problems with Solidity (name of said language) only, or if any of those issues are core to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) itself.

I remain hopeful that other languages targeting the EVM will bring to fruition the full potential of Ethereum in a safer manner.

https://medium.com/@Hibryda/why-solidity-isnt-solid-3341af77...

Also some people dislike the fact that Ethereum is executing every program for every message on every blockchain node. I agree that it would be better if it didn’t have to do so but I don’t know how it could be avoided in a distributed trustless system.

1) is a your data relational or document. This should be the top decider if you're going to go for a relational database or a document store. Document stores can be easy to work within the beginning, but they can also get in your way. Many companies as they grow end up with both. What is the best for you today? What's the best way to model your data.

2) once you know that, then you can start asking questions about what type of datastore to use. Don't think too hard about it at this point, once you know what you need to do, the difference between the different engines is unlikely to sway your decisions much.

We started with DynamoDB, and recently ported over to MySQL (on RDS) prior to launch. DynamoDB was SO easy to get started with, but it wasn't too long before we were tripping over ourselves with things we could do very easily with an SQL database.

We'll add in a document store again when we're bigger and need that functionality.
