"... (whether of not you choose to include OpenSSL's line count)..."

Why does someone just assume everyone wants to use OpenSSL?

I have never intentionally chosen to use libssl or other SSL/TLS libraries and I never will. (That wont stop this person from replying to a comment that has nothing to do with SSL/TLS from telling us how we can use SSL/TLS to get whatever it is we are after.) Not gonna happen with this user.

The reason I am interested in Curve25519 is precisely because I am not interested in OpenSSL. I am interested in Curve25519 because I like the type of software the author writes.

That author writes what I consider to be relatively small, fast, portable, flexible software. The authors of OpenSSL write the sort of software I do not like to use, for a variety of reasons. There are too many to list. OpenSSL, and SSL/TLS in general, is nothing more than a PITA to me.

It is a nuisance.

I do not care if SSL libraries offer Curve25519. I was already using Curve25519 before they adopted it. I am not interested in SSL/TLS. I do not care how much anyone else likes it.

I am interested in alternatives to SSL/TLS and the prevailing web PKI. The author of Curve25519 provided prototypes for one such alternative.

I do not care what someone else thinks of these, when that person can offer zero technical analysis to support his snarky opinions. The only thing that matters to me is what I think of the software. If I like it, I use it.

I use CurveCP everyday on my own network. If somebody giving free "security advice" on a web forum has a problem with the fact I like some software, then they should take it up with the author of the software who published it.

Me, I am just a satisfied end user. I know nothing.
Trump's Campaign Payments Totalling $130K

The idea that real users will only be slightly inconvenienced is something I see often. However, that imposes real costs. A significant percentage of those users will not be determined enough to solve a captcha every time they login, and their usage will drop off.

It's the reason I will never use CloudFlare for any product I build. Their DDOS and spam protection does protect you, but it also literally drives away users.

The question Twitter should be asking is not, "Which accounts are bots?". That would just be bad business. Instead, they should be asking at what point does the presence of bots hurt the user experience more than imposing barriers on usage.
George Hotz's comma.ai started as something he built in his garage. (From the original video, you could see off-the-shelf stuff like AmazonBasics USB hubs and all.)

Everything's open source, and if you want to build your own self-driving car, probably start there. They're selling more or less all of the parts you need, albeit in a very DIY fashion.

I think the most recent part they've started selling is something to more directly interface with the car's accelerator pedals, for example.
thanks for taking time to reply!

Having some modest compilers knowledge, I'm already impressed that the first use case is possible. It's already covering many uses cases where people use simple Getters, so thanks for the work.

Yes returning std::tuples of an object state or something might be a valid use case, but as you say, I'm not sure how often this would occur!

FEC Data proves Trump laundered money to pay off Stormy Daniels. The odds it's a coincidence are 8,000,000 to 1.
From addressing the great many naive falsificationists that have heard of, or were taught, Popper’s basic idea without any of his elaborations and footnotes, let alone those by people like Quine, Kuhn, Lakatos, Feyerabend, ... A little knowledge can be a dangerously misleading thing.
Slavery and involuntary servitude aren't the same thing.

This is clearly shown by the fact that the state can't sell your person as chattel to someone else when you're sentenced to prison or community service.
Seems like bus drivers need to be able to issue parking tickets for blocking bus lanes. Maybe add a camera to the bus that is only used when a car is actually found blocking the bus lane and have the images lead to tickets.
And academic and journalistic investigations into political bots have often subsequently discovered that a non-trivial proportion of apparent bot accounts are actually manned by ordinary people who genuinely feel retweeting certain influencers for hours on end and indiscriminately replying to other political figures with memes and slogans was a good use of their time in election cycles. It's Human Turing Test Failure central.
How happy were you with his answer? It seemed fairly reasonable, he pushed back a bit and matched your tone I think, but overall sounded like he's very much on your side to me regarding the larger problem. I feel like he deflected a little by emphasizing accidents over blockages, without acknowledging much that blockages push bikes into dangerous situations. But I'd probably agree that prioritizing safety over annoyances is reasonable.
Many countries offer retirement homes and financial aid for their seniors but the Japanese are a people with a strong sense of honor and admitting that they are in need of social, emotional and financial help can be very difficult. So difficult that they evidently prefer going to prison.
Asking for a friend. If X buys a few bitcoin and then transfers it to a gambling site and proceeds to lose it all does stupid X (the goddamn idiot) owe any taxes?
The only way X can show that he/she didn't retain the bitcoin is to show transfers to the gambling website (transfers in and no transfers out, because as I said earlier, X is a dumbass).
No, I don't think someone should be punished forever. I think most people agree that our criminal justice system needs a major overhaul. Unfortunately "justice" seems to focus more on punishment rather than rehabilitation. As a cause of this, recidivism is rather high. I don't care about personal narcotics use, but a felony regarding minor possession is very different then a violent felony. Also I know a people can change and one mistake doesn't define a person.

Reading back I suppose my previous statement came off as callous. That wasn't my intention. But let's take a quick peek at felony recidivism rates [0] Spoiler alert: it's quite high and depends on what they were convicted for.

> Property offenders were the most likely to be rearrested, with 82.1 percent of released property offenders arrested for a new crime compared with 76.9 percent of drug offenders, 73.6 percent of public order offenders and 71.3 percent of violent offenders.

The system is really terrible and not particularly effective as evidenced by those statistics. I'm sure as hell glad I don't have a felony. But I'd also like to know if I were electing to employ someone that might significantly negatively impact my business. I won't write someone off because they have an asterisk, but the circumstances of a conviction would absolutely matter to me.

Really love what Gusto is working on bringing high quality HR solutions to very early stage startups. It especially helps with reducing toil on the founders trying to figure out how to run a company for the first time, as well as bridging the expectations for employees that are used to more sophisticated HR systems in large companies.
The speed limit in NYC is 25, and traffic in manhattan averages 8mph. I can tell you from personal experience that I will pass most cars in manhattan unless I'm riding on an avenue that has rolling greens, and I'm just a recreational rider.

I get that it's super anecdotal to mention this, but this idea sounds a lot like the worst oppressive, sadness-inducing systems I read about in school books, the purpose of which was literally to save people from thinking stuff like this up again.
Sesame Credit is fairly extreme, but it's completely separate from China's social credit system (which doesn't exist yet). Sesame Credit is run by Alibaba, a private company, and there's no way China wants them to have that much power.

Cerialis was appointed by Vespasian and fought the Brigantes, so it's more likely the year 43 was wrong and should have been ~71. Vespasian invaded Britannia in 43, probably confused the two.

Apple and Google are doing this too: On my iPhone the Gmail app opens things in Chrome, the iOS promoted news stories are opened in Safari, yet I prefer Firefox.
If you are using them in the US to transmit at their full power in a point-to-multipoint system, they are not legal.

They would be legal for a point-to-point setup, since they achieve their high EIRP due to high antenna gain (as opposed to high output power). But also due to that high gain, they're not really useful for anything but point-to-point (think backhaul between buildings).

You could also use them legally and usefully as a client (pointed at an AP) if you turn the power down so that the EIRP is 4 W (36 dB). You'd still benefit from the high antenna gain in the receiving direction (though not in the transmitting direction, which includes TCP ACKs).
It will be interesting to see what the US resembles when its numbers exceed 1 billion people. China in many ways is simply setting the precedent now, how the US follows remains to be seen.
I think Pwn2Own misses the mark on focusing on the security problems people actually have, and they make it sound like browsers are more or less secure than they are, when you consider threats users will actually face.

- Chrome is the most infected web browser, because the Chrome Web Store allows any extension to get the permission to read all the web content you view, inject their own content, and report back to a master server. Little to no scrutiny of such permission grants is done on Google's part, and it's not considered a vulnerability. The user having malicious extensions is the user's problem, not a Chrome security problem, it seems.

- Pretty much all web browsers allow Java alert() prompts to capture all UI interaction with the web browser, allowing malicious websites to trick users into believing their computer has malware and they need to call a scam support line, or to force users to install malicious Chrome extensions. The checkbox to prevent a site from creating these popups is only mildly effective due to other tricks these sites employ. It's still, for some reason, not seen as a problem that websites can capture the browser's UI in this way.

Pwn2Own seems like code golf. It isn't particularly helpful in the grand scheme of things, and nobody's fixing the problems that actually cost average users billions of dollars in money handed either to phone scammers or to Geek Squad support folks who just have to reboot their PC for them.
GMail now opens a web view, but that view is powered by the user default's browser.
The Google app (the one that powers the voice assistant and the search bar) always uses a Chrome web view instead.
Yes, this is it exactly. Keeping sources confidential is the norm for reporters in the US. Some have spent time in prison for refusing to reveal sources. Judith Miller, for example.
It's pure whataboutism that only serves to totally distract attention away from this newly-designed Chinese policy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

> Whataboutism (also known as whataboutery) is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument, which is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda. When criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union, the Soviet response would be "What about..." followed by an event in the Western world.

> The Guardian deemed whataboutism, as used in Russia, "practically a national ideology". Journalist Julia Ioffe wrote that "Anyone who has ever studied the Soviet Union" was aware of the technique, citing the Soviet rejoinder to criticism, And you are lynching Negroes, as a "classic" example of the tactic.
Yes, using pubsuffix+1 instead of TLD+1 would make way more sense.

The problem is that we have a model that is incredibly accurate for all the things we can apply it to, but that has many conceptual loose ends and leaves some observations completely unexplained.

From the ad copy, the kits appear to be put together from Thrive products: https://www.thrivelife.com. You don't have to buy it $6000 at a pop. Buy a box of dried beans if that's all you want. I've purchased their stuff in the past, not bad for freeze-dried.
In California at least, you can just ignore that question.
Yes, there don't seem to be good solutions. I don't want to get run over by a car, or have a car cut in front of me and turn into my path of travel, so sharrow/striped bike lanes aren't great. But in all of the separated bike lanes in NY, you have pedestrians cutting across them at all times, frequently hidden behind cars or behaving in erratic unpredictable manners, so these lanes aren't too good either. Granted, in a separated bike lane I'm more worried about killing a pedestrian that jumps in front of me, and less worried about my own health as I am in a sharrow/striped bike lane.
It'll tend to net make everything more expensive in Japan over time, for the people of Japan. That's because, particularly in their case as an island, they have to import a lot of materials. If you debase your currency to relieve your debt, then your imports go up in cost, then all construction & repair will tend to cost more in Yen terms (to the extent you have to import, eg commodities).

The overall consequence of their debt relief policies, are causing a significant increase in poverty. I must have read five dozen articles over the last five or six years, covering that, eg:

[2015] "Last year, the Japanese government recorded relative poverty rates of 16%—defined as the share of the population living on less than half the national median income. That is the highest on record. Poverty levels have been growing at a rate of 1.3% a year since the mid-1980s."

https://www.economist.com/news/asia/21647676-poverty-worsens...

Japan has seen a persistent squeeze on their standard of living. Incomes have been stagnant for decades, savings rates have dropped toward zero as people are squeezed on cost of living, and costs have not fallen to offset that.

Economists like to pretend that Japan has been suffering under horrific deflation for decades. That's almost entirely a lie however. They've both been hit by significant Yen devaluation, which is a form of inflation, and seen relatively little actual deflation in terms of the price of goods going down. It's why Tokyo is still one of the most expensive cities on earth, despite Japan's GDP per capita not keeping pace with other wealthy nations.

To the extent you're wholly supplying your own commodities & goods domestically, you can restrain some of the devaluation effect on prices, in regards to making everything more expensive (including real-estate). Inevitably though, even in the best of cases, you end up with cost leakage that impacts your economy. In Japan's case, they're very dependent on imports, so the effect is strong.

In dollar terms, their policies make everything in Japan cheaper. It makes their imports more expensive and it makes their exports generally cheaper. As Japan began this approach, they were occasionally warned about overly aggressive currency devaluation, in terms of getting labeled for it.

If you're a person in Japan, living on the Yen, it doesn't help you at all, other than the very long-term prospect of finally getting out from under the crushing national debt burden. It helps exports some, which can bolster export companies there and the employment picture for anyone working in exports, but the gains are mostly wiped out by the drop in currency value over time. As a USD or Euro holder, I get to buy your Yen products for cheaper, in other words, so you gain zero real ground.

They desperately need to devalue the Yen however, as they currently can't afford to upkeep the vast infrastructure they put into place over a few decades of their big public works programs. So they have to get out from under their debt interest squeeze to free up budget spending for other things that need attention.
I'm unsure Manna is the best anti-social-credit parable, given that one of the prerequisites for being a member of its utopia is having the government AIs surveil you 24/7 through a brainstem implant. (http://marshallbrain.com/manna7.htm, search for "They watch everything?")
Fair enough. Same power structures are in play in other professions. Still not as many assholes. Are programmers just more woke than members of other vocations, or is it something else?

Turns out, the copyright issue is a complicated, but settled, issue:

> But the basic rule is simple: Standard licensing fees paid by broadcasters cover these uses, and the money makes its way, eventually, to songwriters as royalties.

Most of the time, when songs are included on television, producers have to pay for a so-called synchronization license from music publishers. Negotiations can lead to high fees for the most in-demand pieces, like Beatles songs.

But since the Olympics are considered a “live event,” even when tape-delayed, no such special permission is needed, said Steve Winogradsky, a lawyer who is an expert in music licensing. [0]

I think the OO part is a bit ranty, but other than that it's a nice article: Software engineers can really learn a lot from compiler design. Never regret I did take that lecture (we excluded C typedefs and some other meanies). If you're bored and want to learn, write a LLVM frontend, and maybe a simple optimization (e.g. constant propagation or dead code elimination).

There is a tutorial for a functional language in the LLVM docs, or just do a subset of C, or your own DSL ;)
Perhaps a calculated decision to not spend resources on users you will lose when you get big enough to get banned in favor of the local copycat?
This is a legitimate concern. The Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War II are all spaced roughly 80 years apart, and all coincided with deleveragings.
Instead of a sense of dread, how about learning to be comfortable with uncertainty? There's a lot going on in the world where we rely on others for information, and probably can't know for sure without doing a lot more research. Admitting you don't know something is a good thing, particularly when there's no need to know.

I see a lot of the opposite: people pretending to be instant experts about whatever issue is in the news, when they knew nothing about it yesterday. It makes it harder to tell what's going on.

I'm glad you raised the objection with regards to recidivism. Let me offer two things:

First, what about the 30% some-odd folks who aren't recidivist? The individual should be smothered over the statistic of the many, because he's in a set of individuals (felons) and there's 70% of this set that repeats? How fair is that.

Secondly, if you're barred from professional or high-paying work because everywhere you go, you fail a criminal background check... Doesn't that mean you're MORE likely to return to crime? I don't know what it's like to have been a street criminal, but I can imagine I'd be a lot more likely to steal if no one hired me because of a past thing I did (like stealing). I'd say, the system is against me, it's corrupt and so forth, so screw it.

That last sentiment I described ("the system is corrupt anyway, it's stacked against me so screw it") is an attitude I see a lot in the (very large) US city where I live, and I know a number of people with criminal histories. They'll never end up in a cubicle farm making 180K writing code, that's for sure.
Things I've found to help situations like this:

1. When a person is asking you for help, try to imagine a situation where you have needed help and asked someone for it. Imagine your responses to them as someone's response to you. Empathy and compassion are really great tools to use when communicating.

2. Do not sign yourself up for something you don't want to do. If you don't have time to help or don't want to, simply say so. There is no reason to make yourself upset, and then lash out at a stranger, if you don't need to.

3. Be a teacher. Teachers don't give the answers, they help give an understanding of how to solve the problem.

4. Don't continue a conversation if you feel you are angry, upset or annoyed. Try to redirect your energy. Talk to a boss, co-worker, or friend about the situation and ask for their advice. Go for a walk. Listen to music. Write out the experience and your feelings to a private journal.
> The U.S.'s greatest military victory--the last time we can cleanly call ourselves heroes--was World War II. The Nazis were an awful regime who did horrific things that no one can defend. And Japan directly attacked us. We had good reasons for fighting and we (with our allies) conclusively won.

> And there is broad public sentiment that we won because of physics. High-end theoretical physics gave us futuristic tools like radio, radar, and of course the nuclear bomb. Lower-end physics gave us the tools for engineering the incredible machines we fought with, like airplanes, bombs, tanks, and ships.

> So, in minds of U.S. citizens, and more importantly in the halls of U.S. government, discussions of high-end physics come with an implicit promise of military applications. Maybe we could figure out anti-gravity, people think, or ray guns, or teleportation, or force fields--if we only understood the particles and fields a bit better.

What is your opinion on the counter-thesis that the reason rather was the Sputnik crisis?
Gitkube: Build and deploy docker images to Kubernetes
This is about what a reasonable person would expect from Google.

Also concerning is that one of YouTube's primary stated goals this year is to tighten their content control. At first, it will likely be used for preventing content most objectionable to their advertisers and their leadership. Over time, it will almost inevitably morph into a system that distorts the worldwide flow of information to privilege Google's interests. It may not even be intentional, depending on how much ML is involved.
QE is definitely a boost for asset prices, but the economy is way too complex and interrelated to draw such direct inferences.

All things being equal, a QE program ought to raise real estate prices.
