I think the fact that the Reddit management got to witness the rapid death of Digg and rapid influx of users resulting from it let them learn a valuable lesson at Diggs expense (at just how fast your users can destory you if you piss them off).

One thing I wonder though is where Reddit users would go in the event of such a collapse. I'm not aware of an established site in this format that's available like Reddit was available when the Digg collapse happened.

These responses are quite revealing. Control is with Zuckerberg who has the best interest of the community in mind (right, giving liberal access to data and allow microtargeting to an extent that baffles everyone). It also raises the serious question whether Zuckerberg truly understands governance.
I'm sure the shooter is also wearing pants. And he/she isn't hiding. Ergo, if you had pants, you may not need to hide.

i guess this is where go really shines. it's a nice modern language that statically compiles by default. you can kind of do the same with a scripting language. just statically compile the interpreter and distribute the interpreter with your program. [tho, this might be harder than it sounds depending on the licenses of the libraries you have to link with] i know a lot of windows java programs ship a JVM internally as part of the install process.
Stop.

Nobody has ever successfully used a shooting situation with victims as an opportunity to convince other people to own and carry firearms when going to school, work, or church.

All it does is piss people off, make gun enthusiasts look bad, and start up flamewars online.

If you want to convince other people of the merits of gun ownership, the time and place to do that is offline, with friends, at your favorite range or other safe shooting area.

Yeah, those new Intel chips are useless. I can't believe they wasted resources to build something like that. I really need a new laptop, but in 13 inch format I don't think I can get one with 32 or 64 GB of RAM. Only having 16 GB is a huge problem and make work difficult needlessly.

San Francisco is supposed to be one of the right places, but we hoist a lot of the rest of the country's problems here as well. For example, I suspect our homeless problem wouldn't be nearly at what it is if other states didn't literally bus their homeless and insane to us.

I don't want to get into a massive debate about the "best" places to live but I will say that a great deal of perception of America is because America is the best in the world at marketing. You can also call it "propaganda" if you'd like, I wouldn't be able to argue against the term well.

North Korean propaganda looks like ridiculous phrases riddled with too many adverbs. American propaganda is a long history of tweaking the facts just right, as well as having control over one of the top 3 movie industries (Bollywood and Chinese films may get more viewers, but nobody can top Hollywood in global reach).
Andrew Ng's class was great! For a tougher class that focuses on one of the technologies, I recommend Geoffrey Hinton's "Neural Networks for Machine Learning" on Coursera. Really eye opening for me, and fairly close to the leading edge in deep learning, as far as I can tell. I felt that the exercises were more detailed and challenging than in Ng's class, and thus I ended up learning more.
Alcohol does contribute to a fatty liver, though, which I think would then lower the glucose metabolism, which could also lead to more insulin being needed.

There aren't enough IPOs and companies to invest into, so the public markets are chasing anything they can get their hands on. Do these companies have value? Absolutely. Is the demand arbitrarily high because there's supply? Absolutely.
If some gun owner's response to a private corporation changing their rules for a free service they offer is to start shooting people, that's a really strong case for much tighter gun control. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Note to self: don't promote your home made crypto around famous people. (I'm way past home made at this point, but since there is no way to tell from the outside…)

Edit2: Seriously though, why? It can't just be because I veered off topic.

---

Shameless plug: glad my own https://monocypher.org satisfies most of this, but we do have a couple departures:

Encrypting data: Monocypher provides an XChacha20 + Poly1305 AEAD construction (copied straight from the RFC 7539). Why not XSalsa20? Because XChacha20 has a little bit more security margin, and is a little bit easier to optimise.

Symmetric "signatures": Monocypher provides Blake2b, which provides a keyed mode for this. Blake2b doesn't need HMAC.

Hashing Algorithm: Blake2b again, because it's faster and immune to length extensions attacks. I'm not sure why they still recommend SHA-2. Isn't Blake2 mature enough by now?

Password Handling: Monocypher provides Argon2i. Close to the top of the list, but not quite.

Asymmetric encryption: Monocypher doesn't have a box-like construction, but it does have a key exchange function, which combined with AEAD does the same thing as NaCl's crypto_box(). This makes the library more orthogonal, and I assumed combining key exchange and AEAD wasn't error prone.

Asymmetric signatures: Monocypher defaults to EdDSA, with curve25519 and Blake2b. Why no SHA-512 instead? Because I already have Blake2b, which is faster, and I didn't want the bloat. (Ed25519 is provided as an option)

I hope those departures are boring enough.
I'm not going to say the US doesn't have a gun problem, but the chances of actually having something like this happen to you are slim to none.

> 71% of the market is "almost no one" ?

71% of the market of product sold in big-box retail stores, convenience stores and gas stations, as well as online. That market is perhaps 10% (that's being generous) of the overall ecig market, because those tiny things suck.

I'm less worried about metal leeching in higher end mods, the juice doesn't sit for months on end with significant surface area touching metal as the juice is typically vaped in << 24 hours, and the physical designs are quite different.

That said, there is still an element of unknown risk, both with the metals used, as well as the wicking materials, but it seems reasonable to expect high end products where they have better margins and more concern with reputation to put much more emphasis on safety and quality.

EDIT:

I think I will have to eat some crow, after doing some googling it seems there are in fact thorough real studies being performed on real world equipment:

I think I'm going to do some more research later as I would expect this report would have gotten a fair amount of publicity in the enthusiast community, will be interesting to see how honest their reaction is to this.

I'm afraid about what will happen as more of these streaming services compete. It seems to be mirroring the Netflix/Hulu/Disney battleground -- subscription platforms which start differentiating themselves by owning exclusive content. Spotify has started this, and Jay-Z & Co have refused to give streaming rights to their competitors, such that Spotify doesn't have access to any Jay-Z, or, oddly enough, any Metallica.

The problem here is that I purchase these subscriptions so that I can have access to all of the music I haven't decided that I want to own forever yet. If this trend continues and streaming platforms become more and more exclusive, I will likely cancel my subscriptions, buy my music from the artists directly, and say goodbye to renting rather than owning music.

> Unlike most package systems, most people that develop in docker containers are writing the equivalent of a package manifest (Dockerfile)

Dockerfile is a set of build rules. You need to have build rules for RPMs and
DEBs (unless you use FPM that you somewhat praised later, in which case
there's no good place to put the rules and you get terrible packages with
missing metadata).

Unlike most package systems, Docker was designed by programmers for
programmers, so you don't need to learn those yucky tools for sysadmins and
you can stay oblivious to how the OS actually works (despite that you should
actually know the OS you're dealing with, so it's a dumb idea on its own).

> and they're [writing Dockerfiles] for things that weren't previously packaged.

Which is only a progress because programmers are putting the code into
packages. Exactly the same could be achieved with RPMs and DEBs, even if you
needed something that was already shipped by the distribution (you'd just put
your things on the side, just as you are doing now with virtualenv or gems or
whatever).

> While there are plenty of exceptions, the standard for deployment of webapps has long been piecemeal deployments; not RPMs or whatnot. Docker's convenience features changed that.

But Docker didn't change that because it allowed anything that was previously
impossible or even difficult. Quite the contrary, it was easy, it just
required to actually know how the OS works, which is not a common knowledge
among web programmers. OS packages were ignored by programmers solely because
they were sysadmins' tools, and as such they were boring. I see no other
reason, given that Docker gives virtually no technical benefit beside heavy
brittle magic on network configuration, so all your packaged daemons can
listen on the very same address 0.0.0.0:8888 and still communicate with each
other.

> the big advantage of docker is that it integrates those technologies in a way that provides a simple mental model for reasoning about containers

This mental model, it is what exactly? Because there's virtually no mental
model with the packages. A tarball with necessary files, that's all.

Ah, didn't know he also worked on it. It wasn't obvious in the article.

Then I have two basic questions (for either you and tptacek):

1) Given I just need to hash the contents of a file for content-addressed data (like in git), it seemed like sha2-256 would be sufficient. However, it seemed like on 64-bit machines, sha2-512 is faster, and I can just lop off the first 256 bits. Is that correct? And in what cases would you use sha3-256/sha3-512?

2) Given I need to build an API that authenticates through client tokens, I was thinking of using JWT (json web tokens) with HMAC256, and a payload with a randomly generated token for the at_hash claim, and send it over TLS. Do I need to include a nonce in the payload? If not, it's the same JWT on every client request. If so, how would you recommend generating a nonce?

In the article, under symmetric signatures, you talk about not doing anything complicated with the data you feed into the HMAC. But I'm not sure what the simple construction of this data is. Is it where you say "just concatenate the key and data and hash them and be secure"?
Spotify is a service, not a product. Unless you similarly eschew cellular service and grid electricity, I'm not sure what your point is.
If all the music you want to hear is 20 years old, then you're fine. The problem is that in the near future, and in some places the present, physical media will be sold along side vinyl as one of those things that people think only hipsters use.

So for any new music you may want to get, you're now forced into either purchasing a digital copy from a provider and burning copies yourself, or using a subscription service.

Eventually it becomes too cumbersome to manage your music in two places, so you reduce to one, and stop using your physical discs assuming you found replicas in your subscription.

But, to be honest, I've never had so much access to unknown artists' works for so cheap before. I can build whole playlists of very specific types of music and pay effectively less per month than one CD used to cost me 20 years ago for that one song I liked.

So I, for one, welcome our subscription overlords.
Whether it traded up or down is a matter of perspective - are you comparing to the opening price (~160) or the initial indicative price (~135)... not that it matters to the guys at SPOT. Going public is a major feat in itself...
"Some on Wall Street are puzzled as to why Spotify would want to go public without raising money"

I'm not sure it's that puzzling - they wanted liquidity, but don't need any more cash so don't want to dilute the existing equity.

Also worth noting a stat lower down the article that's a different point of view to the "down 10%" of the headline:

'$132 was used as a “reference point,” valuing the company at $23.5 billion. Since there was no IPO price, that demarcation is being used to say that Spotify traded up about 13% on its first day.'

Credit to them for doing something non-typical that fits what they needed. It seems like it's gone according to plan so far.
Was anyone able to figure out what bandwidth/data is included with the packet.net "tiny"? It's roughly 50 usd/month and lists dual 1gps uplink - but I couldn't see anything about bandwidth. Eg hetzner will include ~30tb/month with a gbps uplink - or roughly 45 gb/hour or 100 mbps sustained.

Given the other prices packet.net lists for bandwidth (Starting at 0.05/gb) i assume it's not unmetered (that's about 300 tb for 1 gbps for a month).
Because most people live their whole lives without encountering this. There are over 300 million people here, a few hundred die per year in mass shootings (which includes targeted ones, and I doubt you'd be a target). They are a problem, but they are massively over-reported (based strictly on mortality).

Not living in the US because of "gun culture" is unreasonable and irrational. It is falling prey to what is essentially fear-mongering (as far as that decision is concerned).
The detection is JS based after the proper article loads, so you can smash the escape key in a timely way to disable it.

The chances of something like this happening to you are pretty small. It’s much more likely that you’ll be killed in a car crash or similar.

Pretty much by definition, something that makes the news isn’t something you should worry about. If it happened often enough to be a serious threat then it wouldn’t be newsworthy. (E.g. car crashes.)

The problem publications will have is attractive new subscribers. Why would I pay money? Maybe I would really enjoy their quality, maybe not. In the past I'd find out because someone would leave a copy of the newpaper in the lobby and I'd read it. Now someone says this is great, but I've ready many articles somebody said was great that were not (some some seemed great until it was pointed out latter all the research was cleverly made up - they fooled me)

It is a tough problem and I don't have an answer.
