Damian Conway explored some of this topic in "Lingua::Romana::Perligata -- Perl for the XXI-imum Century". See http://users.monash.edu/~damian/papers/HTML/Perligata.html .
This article isn't focusing on why signatures are important, it's explaining why hash-based signatures are important. In other words it's not discussing the difference between message confidentiality and message authentication/nonrepudiation.

The reason Green talks about quantum computers is because hash-based signatures are one of five or so primary research areas for developing quantum-resistant public-key cryptography. They cannot accommodate public-key encryption, but they are one of the oldest forms of digital signatures. In fact, blockchains and post-quantum resistance are the two major reasons for the renewed research interest in hash-based signatures.
"To which the acute and judicious proposer answers, "Not. For, though he has obtained the experience of how a globe, how a cube affects his touch, yet he has not yet obtained the experience, that what affects his touch so or so, must affect his sight so or so; or that a protuberant angle in the cube, that pressed his hand unequally, shall appear to his eye as it does in the cube."—I agree with this thinking gentleman, whom I am proud to call my friend, in his answer to this problem; and am of opinion that the blind man, at first sight, would not be able with certainty to say which was the globe, which the cube, whilst he only saw them; though he could unerringly name them by his touch, and certainly distinguish them by the difference of their figures felt. This I have set down, and leave with my reader, as an occasion for him to consider how much he may be beholden to experience, improvement, and acquired notions, where he thinks he had not the least use of, or help from them. And the rather, because this observing gentleman further adds, that "having, upon the occasion of my book, proposed this to divers very ingenious men, he hardly ever met with one that at first gave the answer to it which he thinks true, till by hearing his reasons they were convinced."

Dumb luck doesn't seem to be the right phrase. Their reasoning seems solid, given their assumptions about the basics of how the human being works.

My wife owned a Chevy Malibu (mid 2000s) when we met and it was complete garbage from the tired design to the terrible build quality.

I’ve sat in more recent American cars and they are the same way still. Even flagship cars like the mustang and corvette have rattles and plastic heavy interiors.

They haven’t shaken off the reputation because they are still crap.
This is true, as Einstein’s quote describes in the article:

“An hour sitting with a pretty girl on a park bench passes like a minute, but a minute sitting on a hot stove seems like an hour.”

What a great goal. Structuring life as a series of awe inspiring experiences.

I’m not convinced it’s novelty that drives it as opposed to how much awe is inspired. For instance, sitting on the park bench with your gorgeous wife could be as mesmerizing the 100th time as it was the first time.

Edit: A more nuanced interpretation could be that if you’re fully in the moment, that 100th time is purely novel.
It's just people being wired to compare their lives with other's. Humans evolved in small groups with hierarchies where your "rank" compared to others could mean the difference between life and death. Not so much these days, but the habit is still there.

Luckily, we also evolved big brains that let us override almost any instinct and with a bit of effort we can be perfectly happy with any slice of the pie.

P.S. I'm somebody that gave up a large fraction of my salary to be able to work part time and travel the country. It's been worth it so far.

As a command-line tool it could serve as a more powerful replacement for unix utilities that I often use for simple analysis jobs: sort, uniq, wc, awk, sometimes cut and sed. I'm going to give it a try.

It looks like textql loads everything into an in-memory SQLite instance, whereas I'd really like to see an approach that uses the SQLite's virtual table mechanism (https://sqlite.org/vtab.html), which would avoid the loading step and perhaps make streaming processing possible.

Trickle-down theory is accurate!

It's just not necessarily money that's raining down on our heads.

Less snarkily: Piketty observes that reinvested capital accumulates at a faster rate than labour. Also, we have no global taxation system, so capital flows through the cracks into regimes with the lowest tax rate -- meanwhile, labour is pinned down by strict laws restricting immigration, and mostly can't go where wages are higher. (In the tech sector we're privileged exceptions, but consider the plight of an agricultural labourer.)

The system itself is broken, and the people who run it have forgotten the lesson of history that people with no stake in a system eventually turn to violence when threatened with starvation.
We do, but what we din't take into account is that is, it is a trickle.
Office for Mac is generally regarded as inferior to the Windows versions and the Mac version of Internet Explorer was last released like 14 years ago. I’m not even sure it runs on Intel Macs.

Well, this _is_ public-key signatures, it's just that the public keys here are just for signing things, whereas RSA public keys serve a bunch of purposes.

It turns out that using keys for unrelated things can make them into a footgun, so actually even for RSA where we know in principle how to safely use it for lots of purposes, the direction of modern cryptography is to pick one and just do that a lot.

For example, a typical web server "SSL certificate" has an RSA public key baked into it, and the server knows the corresponding private key. You want to exchange encrypted messages with this server, so you use RSA encryption right?

Nope. In the almost-published TLS 1.3 you proceed as follows: 1. Use ephemeral Diffie-Hellman to agree random new symmetric encryption keys, and immediately use those to do AEAD encryption for everything further 2. Send (encrypted) your Certificate. 3. Take a transcript of everything that happened so far, and _sign_ that transcript using RSA, send (encrypted) the signature.

This setup means an attacker can't make even a dumb server do any operations with their RSA private key except signing transcripts of sessions in which that server got to make random key choices. This is useless for any conceivable shenanigans so long as RSA is no more insecure that we think it is, and even if RSA is insecure, you need to actively penetrate specific sessions, the DHE protects any other sessions, even if you subsequently get all the private keys.
Modify the SD card driver to open a socket to a computer in the lab, and just log it's commands and responses over TCP with timestamps. The network was orders of magnitude faster than the crappy SDIO interface, so it was easy this time. I've had to do a similar thing with SAS, and you basically just have to pay tens of thousands for a special purpose protocol analyzer, or build your own with an FPGA.
Close.

In terms of income, it is 30K EUR/yr or 37K USD/yr or 47K CAD/yr.

But more accurate is to look at wealth, you are the top 1% if you have more than 700K EUR or 885K USE or 1.4M CAD. That is a fair bit. Most in US will not quality.

Communism went away. It's not that communism was better. It's that it was competition. There was, for half a century, a competitive threat - do better than the USSR, or face a revolution. That threat was taken quite seriously in the US for decades. Industrialists (the US economy was mostly manufacturing back then) were careful not to get too greedy or power-hungry.

They feared expropriation. Britain nationalized many industries. Most telcos were run by governments. Monopolies were routinely targeted by democratic governments.

Capitalism now has a monopoly position and acts like it.

I was waiting for something like this to come out. I remember I was thinking how it was so strange that Facebook seemed to be making a big deal out of this House hearing, which seemed to come out of nowhere, even though it was the Senate committee that asked for a hearing first.

Also the Senate hearing was initially supposed to happen on April 12 I believe, but they pushed it to April 10, and the House one is on April 11.

It wouldn't be the first hearing to me set-up where basically instead of actually taking the guests to task, as a committee doing an investigation should, they just basically pat them guests on the back for doing such an awesome job. That's how the Diande Feinstein surveillance hearings end-up.
Lol. Tell that to Nepal and Taiwan.
I usually appreciate the animated gif screenshot (especially for curses based programs), but this particular animated gif would have been better off as just plain text—there's too much interesting data that can't be copied, it's real hard to go back to look at something that you missed and it's frustrating to have to wait while fake typing happens. I really wish there was just a transcript of the gif that I could read at my own pace.

We’re at the point now where labels such as “capitalist” and “communist” is meaningless. China is a purported communist country but is minting more billionaires per year than any other country.

Being better than Android is a low bar to clear. Android was, and remains, a Frankenstein’s monster[1] which was hastily cobbled together at Google to capitalise on the new marked created by the iPhone before MS could lock them out of it. In fact, if MS had brought WP 8 sometime in 2010, the story would be a lot different.

[1] It is evident by the fact that Google is still trying to fix the fundamentals like permissions, updates etc. Android is essentially what you get when you try to cram an OS primarily used on servers and high end workstations on a mobile phone and pair it with a programming environment which is also used primarily used on servers by implementing a quick and dirty runtime from scratch.

Don't gloss over the fact that Microsoft forbade computer manufacturers to sell a computer without their operating system. They didn't have the option of paying for the license and not installing the OS, or paying for the license but installing a different OS. This was done solely to prevent competing operating systems from gaining any share of the market.

Microsoft is an evil company that must be destroyed.

>States would not have become a superpower, because they did not win the most wars, nor did they murder the most people, at the end of World War 2, when they gained superpower status.

The US suffered less casualties than all the other major powers (USSR, China, Germany, Poland, Japan, France, Italy, UK) in WW2 and their infrastructure was not destroyed. So kill/death ratio and net destruction are quite indicative of the outcome.

Which country would you guess has committed the most large scale invasions and longest lasting wars since world war 2?

>you make the US sound like a Mongol Khanate which is just absurd

That is indeed an absurd strawman. Did the Mongols not achieve their super power status because of how successful they were at mass murder?

This is a pretty good primer, and I think Matt Green is generally good at tutorials that reduce the technical complexity to make material more accessible.

I'll add a couple of notes:

1. Hash-based cryptography is not capable of providing public-key encryption, so unfortunately these are only useful for quantum-resistant digital signature schemes. But they're still very good at that.

2. Since collision resistance is a stronger notion of security than preimage resistance and second preimage resistance, achieving collision resistance achieves all three. I just wanted to make this point explicit. Likewise, indistinguishability is an even stronger notion and subsumes all three.

3. The current state of the art in quantum-resistant hash-based signatures is the SPHINCS family and its variants, including SPHINCS+ and Gravity-SPHINCS [1,2,3]. One of the really interesting innovations here is a transition to trees with few-time signatures instead of one-time signatures underlying them.

A good, reasonably up to date source for a technical overview of the current research landscape is the PQCrypto Conference's 2017 Summer School, specifically the two "Hash-based signatures" videos/slides [4].

Are packets duplicated in live video broadcast?
If 10 users are being served a live video broadcast stream of 1mbps bitrate by a server, does the server require 10mbps bandwidth or is 1mbps enough?

Since the server is serving exactly same data to multiple clients, does it send multiple copies of same packets with different destination addresses or does it send a single copy of a packet with a list of destination addresses?

If the commonly used protocols doesn't support this, are there any not so widely used options?
I've been experimenting with various riffs on Common Lisp for about thirty years now, and eating my own dog food. I've found four things that turn out to be huge levers for me:

1. Python-style iterators. No matter what I want to iterate over, I just write:

(for item in thing do ...)

or if I want to collect the results:

(for item in thing collect ...)

2. A universal binding construct, which I call binding-block or BB for short. It aggressively eliminates parens so that my code ends up looking like:

(bb var1 (expression)
var2 (expression)
...)

3. Generic functions, and in particular a set of standard generic functions that perform the most common operations on any data type. For example REF dereferences anything. It replaces ELT, NTH, SLOT-VALUE and AREF and even certain database queries.

4. Classes, with very light use of inheritance.

For an example of code written in this style, take a look at:

https://github.com/rongarret/tweetnacl/blob/master/ratchet.l...

You can transfer some of this to other languages, e.g.:

Having your sensors fail doesn't mean they're not providing data. It means they're not providing accurate data. In humans, we would call this hallucinating, and humans in fact cannot generally tell that they are hallucinating.

One way to read the underlying question is, "Are there necessary connections between sensory perceptions?" (Could a tactile sensation, in and of itself, somehow "imply" a visual one?) That doesn't strike me as an empirical or scientific question.
