Shameless plug,
I created sewer[1], which is a letsencrypt client that you can use both as a (minimalistic) python library or as a command line application.
And I just added ACME v2 support. Check it out,

I really enjoy phrasing the problems in terms of where the state lives. The implicit state machine of where in the code you are and all the crud in your stack is so ingrained in how I reason about code, it's like it isn't even there at all! But if I have to think hard about state and state transitions on every yield point or whatever, it's a bit of a headache.
CTS-Labs is very forthright with its statement, having seemingly pre-briefed some press at the same time it was notifying AMD, and directs questions to its PR firm. The full whitepaper can be seen here, at safefirmware.com, a website registered on 6/9 with no home page and seemingly no link to CTS-Labs. Something doesn't quite add up here.

Anandtech is reporting on the situation more than the flaws. That does require covering what the flaws are though. Not covering it at all isn't exactly performing good journalism either.

Warren’s ‘Native American’ Problem Is Only Going to Get Worse
The point is the counter balance the other side - companies have an incentive to overstate their upside and understate their risk.

Short sellers want the opposite. So they both present their best cases and let the public decide, much like how lawyers will defend their own clients to the last breath regardless of the amount of evidence against them
Why rural Americans are so pissed off
because you need food to live. no amount of tightness on spending can delay the necessity of food.

it always boggles me why people scoff at deflationary economics with this line of reasoning - i see little evidence that the average person is so wise with spending money today.
Yes we aim for 2 seconds loadtime irrespective of the environment (we maybe a bit of the mark in some cases but not too far off) and part of the post was about reassuring folks like you that although it will increase in power it doesn't mean that it will be slower or more complex.

What is spotify’s Discovery weekly playlist? Apple has a weekly, personalized New Music Mix every Friday. They also have “see what friends are listening to” as well as human curated playlists. I have found all the music apps to be lacking but Apple Music really needs to work on the app, it is a pain to navigate on many levels.
When I was in the point-of-sale software industry a decade ago, this was one of the rules of the fraud-detection system our software offered.

Employees in cahoots often "returned" unsold merchandise shortly before, or immediately after, store closing. Mainly due to legitimate customers not being present.

There were a surprising number of rules that we had developed over time, usually in response to discovery of all the various schemes that people came up with.

Buying-then-returning-within-X-minutes was another.

I didn't know that, that's pretty damn awesome and excellent foresight.
I think there is. If you cloned me while I'm sleeping and I never knew about it, you could torture and kill the other "me" and I'd be none the wiser, so that definitely seems like it isn't "me" because for whatever definition of me that I have, it involves this particular instance of conscious experience. Other conscious experiences, even if they are similar, are not me if they don't share my conscious experiences.

Programming wise, I'm an instance of an object, not a class.

I don't think you understand the dynamics here. I don't think anyone knowingly shipped vulnerabilities. That's an impossibly low bar: all you have to do to "not know" is to not spend any money on security verification. The complaint here is that AMD was outdone on verification by 4 dudes in a basement.
Yep. The kubelet ports were exposed. From the article:

As it turns out, our coworker’s server was also publicly exposing the kubelet ports (tcp 10250, tcp 10255). Although the problem here was obvious, it should raise some questions about your own Kubernetes deployment, as it did for us.
this is absolutely hilarious.

People here seems to be mentioning short sellers being connected to this research as if there's some sinister collusion going on.
This is the entire point of short selling, and SEC encourages this type of activism. It allows people who can provide expert knowledge to profit off a trade if it can reveal damaging and legitimate information about a company

For example, a short seller last year revealed (through extensive research), that Valeant Pharmaceuticals was stuffing its channels and faking its finances. He placed a huge sort sell and went public with the damaging info - tanking the stock from $270 to $12 and made a ton of profit off of it: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/08/magazine/the-bounty-hunte....

Without this incentive, why would anyone bother to reveal damaging info? You're placing your self as a target with no reward. The payment is the natural balance of the market.

So yes, this research firm is connected w a hedge fund, and they have a very vested interest. But that doesn't make their claim untrue
Why would you complete a MOOC "cover to cover" when they offer no accreditation? People just pick up what they need and move on. If they were offering a complete program and degrees, millions would complete them. MOOCs are amazing, but a simple VOD system can't replace the education system on it's own.

Yeah, but...then it isn't liquid. CEOs of big companies pre-announce stock sales all the time, and prices don't often move >5%. An announced sale of bitcoins shouldn't move the prices in a liquid market. It suggests a buyer/seller mismatch.
Under current rules, after 1-yr lockup period investors are able to sell to other accredited investors.

Hopefully by then we'll have some new, regulated exchanges that can automate the process.

> And now your frontenders need to know how to write code in whatever your backend is written in

Wat.

Frontenders can write their frontend code in whatever they see fit. REST is a contract on data and format of the data between frontend and backend.

> Also, your backend guys are tied up constantly doing stupid endpoint changes, and both teams are wasting time messing around with extra effort to allow one side to be deployed before the other, instead of working on actual functionality work.

Well, if your teams are dysfunctional, then of course, that's what you will end up having.

Now tell me:

- what will you do when your glorious ad hoc GraphQL query ands up bringing the database to its knees?

- what will happen when your glorious GraphQL schema doesn't have all the data the frontend needs?

Yeah and what do those hobbyists do? They go to a blogging service provider or something like a wiki provider and they put their stuff. That stuff still happens today. And of course those users wouldn't want someone else coming along and tampering with their collection, so https everywhere is a must. And these users won't even know or care.

> The industry needs more regulation because right now most investors are getting fleeced and getting left with nothing because there is a large pool of unsophisticated investors.

I agree with the premise

> The industry needs more regulation

but not the reason,

> unsophisticated investors

If you are an unsophisticated investor trying to invest in an ICO and you lose out big, I think that is on you. I don't try my hand in algorithmic day trading, or long term value-based investing either because I know I am not informed enough to be able to make money, so I stay out.
Yeah, definitely wrong terminology. ETH isn't liquid at all, it's gas.

No I would say much investment is not about "greed". It is wise and prudent to invest in good things. A farmer invests in the seeds and time it takes to grow the crops.

But yes I agree fraud should be illegal and misleading advertisement is a bit of a fraud already, mis-representation of facts.

But informed people are hard to mislead, the question is who can you trust to give you correct information? I say that is best done by a democratically elected government.

The job of government is to protect us, not only from hostile foreign powers, but also from fraudulent information. Sometimes the two go together. Not all governments will protect us against fraudulent information, only the representative, democratically elected ones will.
I was in an experiment with him for the Radboud University back then. It was kind of like a swim or die moment, almost literally since we had to swim in ice water. The first two days swimming in ice water were not pleasant. The 4th day we were walking on a mountain with -7 degrees celsius, only shoes and shorts.

For me, I got the idea of the breathing on day 2 and really integrated it on day 3 and day 4. I think what also really helped is being in a group who's commited for more than one day. If you happen to live in The Netherlands, I would be willing to train with you for 2 days. I haven't done it seriously for a long time (other than DnB parties, don't ask).

Edit: oh wait, it was 4 days (can't edit my parent comment). Memory got the better of me, it was like 5 years ago or something (or 4 or 6, definitely not 8).
Transfers between accounts != liquidity. Liquidity is selling an asset without moving the price. If you sell $50m of AAPL, a highly liquid stock, the price may move a bit, but not a ton. If you actually sold $50m of bitcoin, you would probably have trouble getting the buyers AND the price would fall.
I've heard this is common in business world too. Due to management & bean counters not comprehending organizational needs and leading-without-understanding they just cut your budget to what you last used. Nevermind if something made the spending leaner last year because some expenditure happens on a greater cycle than the 10-K form can handle. This gives better quarterly numbers while crippling the flexibility of that department. So the lower ranks compensate for such an incompetence by spending all the budget they can if there's any left.

When you see it you immediately look to the top and question their actual leadership capability. In this instance, it is politicians arguing about budget, but we all knew they didn't know squat about the consequences of cutting a budget.

Words aren't defined by any authority. Their historical and present common uses however are documented by dictionaries et al. The most authoritative source on the term "black hat" is probably esr's jargon file: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/B/black-hat.html

Your (and hdyr's) looser version is not in common usage and in that sense is wrong.
It seems to me that disclosing vulnerabilities is in a different category from disclosing fraud. In the latter case, the only entities that suffer materially is the fraudulent organization and its investors, in the former you have the additional potential to expose all users of the vulnerable software to risk.

That's because there aren't any. The one you have happens to be the exception - it's the only FPGA line with an open source toolchain AFAIK. FPGAs are the realm of large, heavily proprietary build environments.

ETH and BTC are highly liquid these days. You may be saying that ETH's "intent" is to serve as "gas" but irregardless the markets are highly liquid and the order books are deep.
My point is that those sites don't need to be any more secure than they are. A hobbyist website written in HTML in Notepad with only text and images that can be run on IE 5.0 might not require HTTPS and Google and others might change that.

The learning brain is less flexible than we thought
In old days at Frys (around 2001), Fry's used to check the returned products (mother boards, memory, hard drives, etc) and check the serial number of mother board/memory/hard drive against the serial number on the package. They also used to do quick retest of returned motherboards, put them back in the package, shrink wrap it, then place them back on shelves. People started complaining about this, as customers have no way of knowing whether a package is new or not.

Around 2007, Fry's started putting lables on returned packages. This way, one can know whether something is returned or not. Some customers used to replace things by keeping the same new package.

That's true of a stationary Poisson process. But this is more like a race between two processes: developing the restoration tech vs. society collapsing or a fire in the storage facility.

Blade, the company at the end of that video, had a fatal crash this week.
It would wind up being visible to a large chunk of users simultaneously. Furthermore, since we're relying on the wisdom of the crowd rather than a true CA, you'd be able to trust companies' own CAs rather than delegating off to a not-so-trusted third party.

In other words, if someone claiming to be Facebook has told a significant number of people all over the world that Facebook's cert fingerprint is ABCD124, and that fingerprint matches what they're getting presented, it's probably legitimate. We can add additional points for the cert signer being the same one as the previous cert, lack of listing in a CRL, cert transparency logs, etc.

There's no reason this system couldn't bolt on top of the existing CA infrastructure to avoid a bootstrapping problem either.

It adds a probability value into the mix, in other words. That value has always existed, but now we expose it to the user in some way and stop pretending that it does not.

Here's the paragraph the title refers to:

"Arguably, the most significant and plausible financial
stability risk of a general purpose CBDC is that
it can facilitate a flight away from private financial
institutions and markets towards the central bank. Faced
with systemic financial stress, households and other agents
in both advanced and emerging market
economies tend to suddenly shift their deposits towards
financial institutions perceived to be safer and/or
into government securities. Of course, agents could always
flee towards the central bank by holding more
cash. But a CBDC could allow for “digital runs” towards the
central bank with unprecedented speed and
scale. Even in the presence of deposit insurance, the
stability of retail funding could weaken because a
risk-free CBDC provides a very safe alternative."
