This is an excellent write-up on the different on-chain randomization approaches. If both secret messages are somehow discovered by a hacker, I wonder if it would still be possible to influence the outcome by controlling enough of the hash rate. You would have to be able to insert funds at exact indexes within the participation phase, control the number of participants, and have complete influence over the final future blockhash. Thoughts?
Would love to know if there's a clean / simple integration for something like Rook or OpenEBS. IIRC, I saw a few folks had Rook set up manually on a Rancher-based cluster in the tech preview or beta 2.0 days...

Having a simple way to run your own block storage that could withstand node failures / network issues would be fantastic.
This extends to other aspects of their ecosystem. I've shipped applications for most of the major app ecosystems and Slack's was literally the _only_ one where it really felt like they wanted to help me get things set up correctly and help me ship something.

The reviewer rejected my Slack add-on twice, but was really nice about it, gave specific reasons, encouraged me to fix it and reapply, etc.

A very pleasant experience compared to some of the other systems where it feels like you're begging to be capriciously rejected.

Depends on the exercises you do. An outdoor gym is feasible depending on climate, air pollution, and what's available in parks. (Or simply cycling/jogging outside)

Home gyms can cover part of it. You can do a lot with a chinup bar, bodyweight exercises, powerblock dumbell sets.

I'm actually in a city too cold to go without a gym year round, and I do barbells so I can't do those at home (space too small). But, mentioning the options above for those who don't have the same constraints.
This reminded of a famous fraud in the Mexican Lottery. It was low-tech, basically the company that transmits the draw managed to record it minutes before, tell insiders the numbers and later transmit the video as if it was real-time. $12 million USD were stolen, only $8 million were recovered.

The lotteries here (besides the statistical argument) are not trustworthy. I urge people who buy tickets to save their money, but the dream of getting rich instantly is too alluring.

Comparing javascript to ASLR is nonsensical.
Anecdotally: when I was a bike racer I noted that if I was so exhausted after a hard training ride (usually 5+ hours, >100 miles) that I was involuntarily falling asleep afterward that I would inevitably come down with a sore throat leading to a cold within 12-24 hours. 100% of the time.

I've had maybe 2-3 colds in the decades since I quit racing.

Pedantically, the Samsung flagships are the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series; there are a lot of other Galaxy series.
I'm not really sure I see who could benefit from something like that.

If the coder already knows the basics of C and you want to bring them up to speed on the details they'll have to know to work on your library then I don't think you'll need to explain that "A function is a basic unit of execution" or that "Memory to a machine is just a big “spreadsheet” of numbers" for instance. This is clearly meant for complete novices, but at the same time it introduces too many concepts at once to work as a tutorial to learn C from scratch.

Instead focus on how your libraries are architectured, how the pieces fit together, the rationale for why things are this way etc... See for instance "linux device drivers"[1] as an example of what I'm talking about. I know C and this "primer" doesn't give me anything valuable if I actually wanted to hack on their libraries.

On the other hand if the coder really doesn't know what a function or a struct is then it's probably a better idea to tell them to follow some actual C tutorial and come back when they're done because this particular text will probably overwhelm and confuse them, not actually give them the skills necessary to actually contribute decent C code anyway.

> Store the salted hashed password with its salt server side.

So now _this_ is effectively just "the password", that needs to be protected, even though you're storing it server side.

If an attacker has it, they can go through the protocol and auth -- I think, right? So you prob shouldn't be storing it in the db.

All you're doing is shuffling around what "the password" that needs to be protected is, still just a variation of the original attempt in top comment in this thread.

The reason we store hashed passwords in the db instead of the password itself is of course because the hashed password itself is not enough to successfully complete the "auth protocol", without knowing the original password. So it means a database breach does not actually expose info that could be used to successfully complete an auth. (unless they can reverse the hash).

I _think_ in your "protocol" the "original" password actually becomes irelevant, the "salted hashed password with it's salt" is all you need, so now _this_ is the thing you've got to protect, but you're storing it in the db, so now we don't have the benefits of not storing the password in the db that we were hashing passwords in the first place for!

I guess your protocol protects against an eavesdropper better, but we generally just count on https/ssl for that, that's not what password hashing is for in the first place of course. Which is what the OP is about, that _plaintext_ rather than hashed passwords ended up stored and visible, when they never should have been either.

Cryto protocols are hard. We're unlikely to come up with a successful new one.

Right, and therein lies the Guardian's stereotypical grad student reasoning: militaries only exist because of humanity's lack of enlightenment, and military service is therefore a job that "lacks positive value" and is "essentially manipulative and aggressive".

Even if you subscribe to the standard litany of lefty anti-person-in-uniform grudges, the notion that militaries around the world exist primarily to guard against other militaries is misguided. A much bigger motivating factor for the existence of large standing armies is the general desire of illiberal regimes, be they on the right or on the left, to keep the young male population (ie the backbone of a potential revolution) occupied on a daily basis.

It's so easy to backup everything for free these days. Google Drive/Dropbox if you don't care about encryption or Arq.app if you do, Time Machine if you have a spare hard drive at home.
I'm still using a Nexus 4 with 2gb of RAM, running android 7. 6 was terrible performance, but it's been running well with 7; no issues with constant swapping or the like. The camera is absolutely atrocious, and the 8gb internal storage is really showing it's age, but it still runs everything really well for me - probably since I've never used apps like Facebook. The biggest issue so far has been a flash sector failure or a cosmic ray or something that forced me to wipe everything and reinstall from scratch.

I would have upgraded it in the last year or two but I can't find a phone I really want, nearly everything produced these days is a much larger form factor.

What "free phones" they are all leased now. There might not be a monthly fee but at the end of the lease their is a buy out to be paid. My wife's Essential phone (SHE HATES IT) is $6 a month for 24 months and then $430 if she want to keep this crash prone phone.

Can you please not up the ante like this in terms of ideological vitriol? Regardless of how wrong someone else is, all this does is erode the container and make it less possible to engage with each other. The HN guidelines try to guard against this type of swerve, and if you read them you'll see that there are several that your comment violated.

(Other comments are doing a poor job of following the guidelines, too, but this was a degree worse, and you did it again downthread.)

This depends on the industry you are in, and the kind of people you are leading. Many industries are low-margin and have constant cash flow issues.

Telling your employees achieves nothing, in that case - their next job won't be less precarious, they just lose a little bit of piece of mind. You make the active choice that some (who want to see you as a crook anyways, see other replies) think slightly worse of you, while the vast majority can go home and sleep in relative peace.

It's a very different situation if cash flow crunch is completely unexpected, or highly likely to be fatal, with stable businesses around.

As I said above, the situation is always more complex. You make decisions accordingly :)

Could somebody clarify the license? I was excited this was Open Source, but then some people say you are only allowed to run it on MacOS? How can that be?

Also, how does FoundationDB compare (in general, and in performance) to:

- CockroachDB (competitor) https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/2-dot-0-perf-strides/

- Redis (competitor) https://redis.io/topics/benchmarks

- GUN (ours) https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/100000-ops-sec-in-IE6-on-2...

- Fauna (competitor) https://fauna.com/enterprise#Scalability

- VoltDB (competitor) https://www.voltdb.com/blog/2017/10/02/comparing-fast-data-p...

- RocksDB (competitor) https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/performance-benchma...

Is the the big boom in FoundationDB just that it is "now Open Source", or that Apple vetted it (why didn't they keep it closed source?), or is there something distinctly unique about FoundationDB that it surpasses a bunch of other tried and true systems?
it actually got better for me later on. The first half was horrifying. But at the emerald cockroach wasp and onwards I wasn't as repulsed, as cockroaches are disgusting, and the rest - toxoplasmosis, rabies, influenza - aren't easy to visualize.
After I heard about this, I couldn’t help but think about Zuckerberg saying these responses during his hearing.
What is your definition of truth? It seems to me like this is an issue of abstraction layers. The truth can be simply described within one layer, but adding layers requires more precise language.

It's a bit like arguing "I" don't move my arm because neural signals trigger muscles to move the arm. Both are true, the language is just more involved if we don't share a common definition of "I".
> LNG is definitely happening, and that alone will make a massive difference in emissions

An important, if often repeated point: Natural gas reduces emissions at the point of consumption; that may be balanced out by higher climate change impact when it's mined.

If someone has good, conclusive information on that issue, it would be appreciated.
I wish there was a book that collected famous security incidents in this writing style.
Related note: in the last year I started using SQLite with my Clojure scripts instead of using a remote database, and I'm storing everything in git. Works like a charm for single-user tasks.
Interesting problem to solve - guess the pain will be when all the data sources change their endpoints and everything sort of breaks. At least that's been my experience with aggregating public economic data feeds.

A tool for managing software development that doesn’t suck. Especially if your developers are doing a lot of small projects, that while too small to have their own sprint or their own kanbanboard are too big to fit into a single card on Trello.

Possibly something that mixes business and process models into it, but again, something simple where you attach a single bpmn drawing and maybe an architectural sketch to the process. Add time management, deadlines and maybe a tie in to the web services of an ESDH system and it might even work for task management in case working.

Everything is build for theoretical approaches. Like we do SCRUM, but really, we’re doing scrumish things. We have an odd schedule, we work on multiple projects at once, depending on what resources are available and what has higher priority, sometimes something breaks and then we’re all doing operations rather than development, sometimes the mayor has a direct request and so on. I think we’ve tried all the tools from atlassian to trello and nothing fits, it’s all too textbook for a messy place like ours and often I think we should go back to postits and a fucking excel schedule but I really don’t want to ever print an excel sheet ever again.

Interestingly I do a lot of networking with other managers in the public set for, and everyone had this problem, not just in digitization. There isn’t a single efficient tool for managing your workforce in the public sector.

There are excellent tools, don’t get me wrong, but we can’t have our workers spend hours on them because we can’t sell those hours to anyone.

== I said the medical lobby has artificially constricted the supply of doctors.==

In the free market, money equals influence. As long as AMA determines who is/isn't a doctor, they have an incentive to make it as hard as possible to become a doctor.

==The rest has come from changes in the social determinants of health, particularly in early childhood.==

Now you have to prove that free and easily accessible access to health care won't have a positive impact on the social determinants of health. It stands to reason that part of America's reluctance to visit doctors is rooted in the historical costs associated with visiting doctors. If we can remove that stigma through cheaper and more accessible care, it stands to reason that we can improve the social determinants of health over the long term.

Here's an example: In Canada, one can visit a dietician as part of their health insurance, this could have a positive impact on obesity, which would lead to healthier population.

> From Tipton’s point of view, it was complicated. He had done something to see if he could do it. To his surprise, it worked. He said he inserted that code only once; after the code was approved by Gaming Laboratories International, machines containing it were shipped all over the country.

The article skips right over this. HTH was this code, which the article reports wasn't even hidden, approved by a third party?

Trying to find out, I found this:

https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/investigations/...

Which mentions:

"Tipton designed his rigged coding so that it wasn't detected in the company's random tests, according to a report Fritschie helped present last year."

...as well as: "Toyne said the association does not have any ongoing contractual relations with Gaming Labs."

The "report" mentioned earlier is a DEFCON presentation about gambling fraud in general, pretty interesting read:
https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2025/DEF%20CON%2025%20pre...

In it mentions "The method of rigging the RNG could have been more discrete" and gave the breakdown of reverse engineering the binary to find(?) the source code. It also said the labs tested the RNG for statistical bias (which would pass) and audited the source code (it only gives the Picard Facepalm pic, so I assume the auditors likely relied solely/mostly on the automated test.
We pay for a high-end solution at work and still experience the same issues.
Which is why nobody is advertising for GCP skills and why Kubernetes skills are going to be much more valuable than AWS and Azure skills.
On the contrary, the change has been like night and day. An invisible curtain has dropped into place, and every word is carefully cleaned and pressed. Everyone is suspect now.
In the embedded software context, you typically do your own static initialization in a startup.S file or equivalent. There should be 0 ambiguity as to when your DATA section is copied to RAM.
The Very First Animal Appeared Amid an Explosion of DNA
As a very rational person (no doubt like many of you) I am cautious to explore my 'gut' feelings with a critical eye. Often 'gut' feelings can be misleading or at least alleviated by further info.

In autopilots case, and more generally with autonomous driving, I just can't shake the gut feeling that we're much much further away from achieving true autonomous safety than many people are saying.

I think I might be predisposed to ultra-conservatism (small c) with automobile safety, so that might be playing it's part I guess.
> I think the opposite. People that fast for a period (> 16 hours) report improved energy levels. This may be because after a while the body enters a ketogenic state where it burns body fat, which is a great source of energy and perfect for when on the hunt.

Ketogenesis requires over a week of carb restriction IIRC. I think fasting yields energy because the body increases various stress hormones to push you to find food so you don't starve.
My implication had nothing to do with NIMBYism. Just that they don't trust the tech workers to have their interests at heart.

Its entirely reasonable and possible to believe that neither group will promote an outcome that will help those people.
