Ha yeah, composition was a bad choice of word.

Maybe an quick example off the top of my head would be: you know you need to authenticate and perhaps additionally 'encrypt' something --- for say a software update, fancy over-Bluetooth authentication scheme etc.

You need to pick: symmetric or asymmetric schemes? Auth then encrypt? What does replay of an old signature or MAC mean for your system? Key usage limitations? Key re-use? Quite a few ways you can err where the choice of e.g Ed25519 over P-256 ECDSA pales in comparison.

Or in other words: most people are trying to build a secure system, and where security is only achieved by the combination of the protocols, primitives used.

W.r.t TLS, yeah, bake in default configs as part of an environment where you can, although there'll always be plenty of people developing directly against the software API, and compatibility issues will typically play a part.
Creating Bar Graph in SQL Server 2017 Using R
I had a similar feeling when it was reported that the injured were transported to Zuckerberg General Hospital[0]

He doesn't have any modern AI experience. However, since researchers like Ruslan Salakhutdinov are already working for Apple, Apple already has the tech expertise, and probably wants people who can grow and manage teams, and get the most out of their AI talent, something researchers like Russ are not experts in.

However, I think this move benefits Google as well. Jeff Dean now leads AI, and unlike JG, Jeff has both the technical chops and the managerial expertise to boost Google's AI programs. No more having to approve every project by someone who doesn't understand the nuances and capabilities of modern AI. If Sundar gives creative freedom to Jeff, we might even have singularity by 2050. I am only half joking.
The Sunk Cost Fallacy – You Are Not So Smart
It's important to understand first of all that Nectome is not currently preserving brains in a clinical setting. We are still very firmly in the research phase of building a brain banking technique sufficiently powerful to preserve memories. (see https://nectome.com for more details). However, I envision that a validated preservation technique would preserve the entire body, including the peripheral nervous system.
That is what the 512bit MAC is for
Do you think this is a coordinated, planned effort by the media, or an organic event? Did they decide they wanted to convince the public that shootings are suddenly a much bigger issue, or did shootings start to be great selling news so now they seek them out aggressively.

It kind of reminds me of the late 90's and early 2000's when all of a sudden kids getting abducted became huge news. That forever changed the way adults could interact with strange kids, and how parents viewed unknown adults.
Anything more than zero shootings is too much? What a ridiculous assertion.

What about deaths from car accidents?

What about deaths from hammer?

Choking on your toothbrush?

Jaywalking?

Infections resulting from not washing hands?

Carbon monoxide?

Your absolutism is dishonest and unhelpful.
Moreover, I would expect that heavy drinkers to purchase much cheaper alcohol than one-glass-of-wine-at-a-restaurant drinkers.
So do cops.
today at the gym i heard some awesome songs so i asked what it was and they said "spotify radio". its impossible for me to recreate that list.
Further the main study showing longevity benefits of red wine didn't control for wealth. Rich people live long and drink red wine, but they are not necessarily related.
When it comes to security, that reflex is almost categorically wrong. I say "almost" because the people who tell people like us what to do are also reading this thread.

You don't get to have an ego when it comes to security or operational reliability (two separate fields, but ones with often similar resistance from developers). It just doesn't work that way.
That the W3690 is not the same uarch as the W3670 and W3680 is weird as all hell. Even weirder that it differs from the X5690, to which it is almost identical. Did they start selling the W3690 before the other Xeon W-series SKUs?

Saw the headline and my heart sank, but I got a lucky dodge on this. Bought a W3680 because at the time, I couldn't find a W3690 at a reasonable price (from what I could tell they were a top choice for people refreshing their Mac Pros?). Maybe I'll squeeze another 7 years from this X58 machine yet!
That includes suicides, so take off around 70% of the US gun deaths.
AI itself is so far behind than most people realize. Most AI-branded products do an extremely small subset of tasks. I argue that it isn't AI rather using arcane statistical methods to hopefully ascertain the human requirement for the context.

AI doesn't yet exist anywhere that I know of. Hiring an AI guy is symbolic move used to signal to investors that they're making moves in a certain space.
None of that looks harmless to me. And also, buzzfeed-style posts are hardly harmless - I think you'd find a number of people who honestly believe that buzzfeed-style posts are a harbinger of the downfall of humanity. Regardless of any hyperbole, I do think "buzzfeed-style posts" are very harmful, and I while do think that these posts by Russian operatives can vaguely resemble buzzfeed-style posts, I think they are far more harmful.
I suppose we can kill the hysteria driving mass gun ownership then! I'm sure the NRA will be happy to turn down the hyperbolic rhetoric about how you could be double rape-murdered at any given second now that these results on violent crime have come out and we can all breath easier.
I mostly agree with you, but the penalties for non-compliance are so staggeringly large, the requirements are so vague, and the EU's love of fining American tech companies is so great that Id' be awfully nervous about GDPR if I were a large American tech company.
Yeah, I don't see how support for BLM and gun control mesh. If cops are corrupt and biased, then why would you want to wait on one in an emergency?
She's a very interesting speaker. Gave a talk at Def Con [0] on ways of talking to friends who are feeling very depressed and suicidal.

“Towards” papers are typically workshop papers which give a preview of ongoing work, usually by PhD students.
> Folks, the number of shooting crimes (including school shootings) in the United States is going down.

This is not supported by other analyses that look at the issue. FiveThirtyEight looked at several measures of school shootings / mass shootings and came to the opposite conclusion. [0]

Ask HN: Markdown or WYSIWYG editor for non-technical users?
I'm designing a web app that will include a text editor to be used by non-technical users. I'm trying to decide whether it should be a markdown text editor or a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor.

For those of you who work with non-technical colleagues who have to use a markdown editor, do they hate it or grudgingly tolerate it? Or have they adapted perfectly fine?

Should I forget about the Markdown option for non-technical users and just go with WYSIWYG?
Optimistic Nihilism (2017)
Looks like they wanted facebook.com with reddit color scheme.

I feel like this will be about as successful as slashdots redesign attempts over the years.
Stabbing everyone to death would reduce shootings to zero.

Probably not a good policy, even so.
This requires the whole plaintext/cipher text to fit into memory. For small blobs I would agree that GCM is perfect, but for anything larger you end up with extra projects like https://github.com/minio/sio trying to break streams into smaller ordered chunks. They are on v2 now.
