I agree there's that fundamental problem with the way email gets handled.

But at the same time I still wish Gmail would stop you from receiving emails on addresses other than the one you created yourself (ie by treating dots like any other character). It'd save me from getting several misdirected emails per day.

It's true that all these misdirected emails come down to people misremembering their addresses, but I think you're overlooking an important class of such misremembering (which can be addressed on its own).

I have a dot in my actual email address. There are several people who have a similar address who must be forgetting that their email address actually contains an additional initial or number. However some of these people do not have the dot in their actual email address.

I.e my email address: this.that@gmail.com

The other email addresses:
thisnthat@gmail.com, thisthat7@gmail.com, etc

...where the other addresses get misremembered as:
thisthat@gmail.com

I get these peoples' emails, but that could be easily avoided if Gmail took note of the dots.
Sounds like Prolog.
It is much easier to do it through Alexa than let’s say HN. It ties to an account with each person and they are all known to the company. Payments are scary between strangers. The more data you have, the cheaper you can process safely.
Was thinking same thing, there is a link to a video at the bottom though.
You're probably right, I don't watch cable TV so it was a poor comparison.

Nobody is complaining that ISIS is losing their youtube ad revenue stream, that's a strawman argument. ISIS recruitment videos violate youtube's guidelines so they'd just be taken down, that's not what we're talking about here. What's actually happening is videos that have a dissenting or unpopular viewpoint have their ads removed, with a lot of harmless content caught in the crossfire due to the indiscriminate nature of youtube's algorithms.

Presumably, the cost of electricity for mining is small, and a lot of the value of crypto is amortized from the hardware.

Like anything else it can be stolen but, they would need to know about it. If I can stash a small rig somewhere, then I can produce currency. This process doesn't require scale or major investment, so you could mine at a small enough scale to be below notice.
Yes, I've received emails of the form, "You recently signed up on our website for Fooflix, please confirm by clicking here. If you did not recently sign up, please disregard this email. Anyway, now that this is a known problem, both Netflix and Gmail should take reasonable steps to mitigate.
No, they did none of that. Microsoft had a scheme which the OEMs could agree to where they paid a fixed amount of money multiplied by the number of machines sold. Thus they had zero incentive to sell with anything else when they already paid for Windows. And if you wanted to say, I will only pay after say 95% they said, then we will not make this agreement with you, this is only for OEMs who pay after all their computers...
Can all the constrains of your data really be expressed via postrgres constraints? Should they be? What is the balance?

The issue I have with "technologies" and self-hosted stuff is that I'm constantly tempted to tweak things. A hosted platform with limited customisation gives me boundaries and means I can focus on blogging instead of tweaking the CSS or JS or server configuration forever.
$200 for this + $1000 for the cheapest macbook > your $1000 analytica license. And that's before considering that you're now stuck lugging around an extra paperweight everywhere, or that R is available for free.
My experience with firebase is that it gets way more credit than it deserves. It's easy to develop on, but we had connectivity issues almost weekly with it, despite their status page saying everything was running smoothly. Firebase also has scaling issues. Last I heard, you can't have over 100,000 concurrent users, but it's not really publicly stated anywhere.
I believe Swift (I think) uses this idea, where the 2nd and subsequent parameters are often named prepositions:

I'm just a security researcher, and unfortunately I don't have any concrete suggestions. I'm hoping that the Supreme Court takes a favorable approach to this madness and limits the damage (by asking the government to stick to its 2015 order which limited mandatory usage of aadhaar to 3 schemes only, for eg).

On balooning costs - Yes, the scope has vastly increased:

1. it was supposed to be a YES/NO boolean API, which has since become a complete eKYC API giving third parties access to your data

2. State resident data hubs that maintain a copy of your biometrics and data to enable state level surveillance

3. Pushing of mandatory linkages has cost us thousands of crores already.

(and more that I'm missing - this is early morning IST now and I'm getting sleepy). A lot of this should not have been allowed in a scheme that was passed in the parliament as a "Money Bill". The helping part is non-proportional to the expenditure which we've seen - this is under purview in the SC hearing as well.
> Anyway, there seem to be opportunities to make programming languages more expressive by borrowing human language features rather than using ever more complex typographical conventions. What do you think?

I think I'd like to see a single hypothetical example of such an improvement and how it actually improves anything. Things like this usually sound grand, but tend to go nowhere, for obvious reasons.
By that logic, jacksmith@example.com and johnjsmith@example.com could be delivered to the same mailbox. When I read TFA my first thought was "what does the standard say about it" and it does sound like Netflix is the one making the wrong assumption here.

But I also see his point about how this can confuse users who don't realize this or are not using this behavior intentionally.
Exercise is harder than taking a pill - remember these are antidepressants. Also, when you're depressed anything that gives you hope is likely to actually help and that means placebos too. Having said that, I would hope actual drugs work better than a placebo.

The Cipriani study is a nice meta-analysis: "The random-effects summary SMD for all antidepressants was 0·30" This site explains SMD: http://handbook-5-1.cochrane.org/chapter_9/9_2_3_2_the_stand.... This site shows what 0.3 looks like (actually shows 0.2 and 0.5): http://rpsychologist.com/short-r-script-to-plot-effect-sizes.... Typically, when people are summarizing this line of research saying that there is no effect, they are talking about these kinds of effect sizes which look like they round to pretty much no effect. I think using SMD for reporting by itself is unfortunate: my understanding is that the drugs have large effects for a minority of patients -- rather than that they shift everyone's emotional experience over a little bit.

I think you need an OTP to get online Aadhar PDF. So you can't get paper Aadhaar just by knowing the Aadhar number.
Sort of a good idea to play with a small database to see how things work if it was on a SQL database.

I usually have to develop a database in Windows and Access. One more tool to work in Linux is a good idea.

I used to use awk and sed before.
> Since paper-aadhaar is still very much accepted as a proof, just having the number is enough (in many cases) to take over someone's identity and get a new SIM issued, which you can then use for emptying the bank account.

Weird. Maybe it's different from state to state or probably area to area. Atleast where I reside (Telangana), getting a new SIM requires fingerprint authentication followed by SMS OTP to an existing mobile number. If you do not have an existing number linked to Aadhaar, only then a fingerprint scan would suffice. I have also opened a bank account here following the same procedure. I had to get one number ported and that required multiple authentication too.
Good point. Desktop environments effectively remove the educational value from linux.

I've heard a different explanation (from Jared Diamond): it's because of the introduction and proliferation of high calorie, cheap foods. You see this in many 3rd world countries (e.g. central/south America, many poor towns in the US, etc) that have easy access to type of food.
>What, you mean the simplified world ideologies don't hold up in practice to the real world? What kind of craziness is this?

Your derogatory tone is uncalled for, nothing in my comment was pro-crypto.

Stashing of small to moderate currency against a low-quality government or mafia (via the conversion of electricity) seems like one good use case of currencies. If this isn't the case, it would be genuinely interesting to know why.

> ...you should expect to spend something like 95¢ in electricity to make $1 of bitcoin

Got a quote for this 95% figure? Yes, I understand efficient markets. Presumably, a lot of the value of crypto is amortized from the hardware.

> When you look at that kind of power draw,

Your criticism relies on two unstated assumptions.

1. Large scale. If I can stash a small rig somewhere, then I can produce currency. This process doesn't require scale or major investment, so you could mine at a small enough scale to be below notice (see also: black markets). This seems like a viable way to save funds at a personal/family level.

2. Has electricity prices risen correspondingly with inflation? I would expect in a dev country electricity is subsidized or small relative to other living costs. The same energy it takes to run a home I could generate a few bucks here. A few bucks in our country is incredibly valuable right now in V.
Most authors complained about it yes. Burgess accused Kubrick of not having understood a single word of "Clockwork Orange". Nabokov was the most gracious when he said that while Lolita was a very good movie, he didn't recognize his original work at all :)

I think it's a very difficult exercise to adapt a novel. Should you literally put on the screen what is written in the book ? What's the point ? You're not creating much. On the other hand, if you deviate from the original work, fans start attacking you for "betraying" the spirit of the book.

I often see antidepressants held to more stringent standards of evidence, theoretical backing, and safety than other treatments. It's pretty common to see someone claim that the chemical imbalance theory is bunk and that antidepressants don't outperform placebo, then glowingly endorse something else with markedly less scientific support as a treatment for depressive disorders (e.g. exercise, supplements, insight-oriented psychotherapies, mindfulness meditation).

The Shining is a rare case of a film being far better than a the book it is based on precisely because of Kubrick’s reinterpretation of the story.

I find [this argument][1] that one of its central themes is a suppressed history of violence and bloodshed convincing.

>> The bigger problem is “depression” is not reproducibly measurable, because it has no falsifiable or biomedical marker.

That's something I like to point out using SSRIs as an example. The claim is that they increase levels of serotonin and that the cause of the depression is reduced serotonin. The thing is, nobody actually checks your serotonin levels and says "oh that's low take this." Then there's the problem of why ones serotonin is low when it wasn't always that way. There are probably many causes of depression and quite possibly some that don't lower serotonin.

> Under what assumptions and definitions is this true?

For strong collision resistance and provisional preimage resistance. For example, a hash function of the form

f: {0, 1}^* -> {0, 1}^n

is certainly preimage resistant if the domain is at least twice as large as the range. More generally, collision resistance implies preimage resistance up to 2^(n/2) (the birthday bound). In practice hash functions compress the space of inputs to a significantly smaller space of outputs; in an academic setting we divide between provisional and strong implications of preimage resistance, but for quantum-resistant hash-based signatures the provisional implication is sufficient. That also means we generally are more heavily prioritizing second preimage resistance and indistinguishability.

> It's different from Microsoft's case since the devices without Qualcomm chips would still have to pay Qualcomm a royalty, just a lower one that was either negotiated or set by a court/arbitrator.

Microsoft enforced every OEM of PCs should be distributed with Microsoft Windows. Later on, they enforced every OS should be distributed with an OS. Hence you had a few (very few) PCs which were distributed with FreeDOS. Microsoft argued this was to combat piracy. I argue the other [more nefarious] reason was to stop alternative OSes such as BeOS and Linux. Though I don't know which reason makes more sense, I can say I'm glad this hegemony is over. Too bad we apparently have different monsters to be slain.

No hype, just use simple, proven technologies. No MongoDB, no React, ideally no SPA at all, just plain HTML and tiny bits of Javascript when/if needed.

My personal pick would be a Django app with Postgres as the DB, Django REST framework for the API endpoints (if needed), Redis for caching, and that's pretty much it. Platform is irrelevant as it might change in the long term, so I'll pick whatever is easiest/cheapest at the time and be done with it; the platform can always be swapped out later if needed.
I tried exactly 14 different antidepressants, at different dosages in the last 10 years. None of them got any positive effect and I could stop without feeling anything different too, except, on some cases, very mild "brain zaps". I do not know why not any of this drugs had any (positive) effect (only some common collateral effects in some cases) but I wonder if there is a correlation between the drug doing it's work and being hard to quit...
How to interpret a p-value histogram
Doesn't seem stupid to me. In the real world can have multiple accounts with a business using the same physical address. Why should contact information be limited to a single account? Why should an email address be assumed to uniquely identify a person? Email sharing is still very common, and many organizations have addresses like info@ or help@ that don't identify anyone at all and could be read by any number of people.
As per lawyers, the justification for Aadhaar-linkage is very slim[0], but the government is pushing telcos to link so it is happening.

The events:

1. Supreme Court asks DoT in a regular about the status of KYC for telcos and asks for all SIMs to be compliant within a year

2. DoT (department of telco) rewords the above a "direction" (it was not binding till then) of the SC and makes Aadhaar-KYC mandatory (when the original order did not mention Aadhaar in any way, just KYC)

As for the original KYC-law, I'm not entirely sure, but it has existed for decades now.

I have. The cost per ton of CO2 being offset is wildly different, though. At 1.5 tons/month (18 tons/year), the cost to offset that CO2 would come out to ~$11 yearly from TFTF (assuming an average tree planted would sequester CO2 for 10 years, which I think is a bit conservative).

The paper you cite is a good one, but it's actually demonstrating that the person you're responding to is correct (and you two are agreeing). In fact, Rogaway and Shrimpton specifically state that their constructions may appear somewhat contrived; this is because collision resistance does imply provisional preimage resistance, and in the real world it's quite difficult to construct (useful) collision resistance without preimage resistance.

So to answer your original question succinctly: collision resistance implies provisional preimage resistance, which is the setting for most real world hash functions, including post-quantum hash-based signatures.

As an aside, it seems a lot of people assume your email address is just your first name and last name with "@gmail.com" tacked on the end.

I get a lot of emails for other Evans this way. I've had wedding invitations, been CC'd in on rental dispute discussions and all sorts of stuff because of this assumption.

The most recent was an invitation to edit a 5th grade basketball roster google doc. So at the top of the document I wrote a politely worded rant on the subject of email addresses. At the same time, the original author was editing the document and trying to delete my rant as I was typing it, so we had a little battle going on for a few minutes. I reckon that's one person who will never do that again.
