Thanks for the explanation. It all makes sense, and the public/private key system is awesome for that.

The point I was getting at was "if your one Yubikey is stolen, what do you do?" If you fall back on password authentication, then your Yubikey based system was only as secure as the password mechanism protecting your account recovery mechanism.

The answer might be "provision two keys and stick one in a bank deposit box", etc. Regardless, there's an inherent problem that you want your recovery mechanism to be as hard to crack as your primary authentication mechanism, but you need it to not be an absolute pain.
Most people in the military I speak to absolutely have the opposite conviction. In fact all of the people with whom I’ve acquainted myself are against the Snowden leaks. Maybe it’s geographical. I’m talking to people in my state only.

My take on the follow up leaks is that they were chosen to give the impression of a trail to something much more insidious, but were actually picked in some attempt to obtain maximum impact in embarrassing United States.

Also, why would you want classified info that’s not related to domestic surveillance shenanigans leaked to the public? Everything that has been released since the initial revelations seems to be related to military operations. Maybe I’m missing something.
People have known this since the 90s. Here's an article from November 3, 1999 [0]. I'm not the parent commenter but I'm not sure why you feel like you were the only one who knew about this.

Many people have scales that can detect small doses of supplement and medicine for a variety of reasons. I personally use a cheap jewelry scale that can do the trick to take wait for it a microdose of melatonin once in a while.

I personally take less than .01 gram and it does the trick as long as I get ~9 hours of sleep. I try to not take it more than once every other week.

At 25 I just moved sideways from doing embedded software development to web application development prior to the dotcom boom.

That led to solid IT skills and a very interesting career. I don't think I'd change anything.

Biggest piece of advice would be to save half of what you earn. (or try and live off half of what you earn) At 25 I'd just become debt-free, but it took me a while to figure out how to reduce my tendency to spend whatever I earned.

If you could do that, then at 40, your expenses are covered by what you earn in investments. That frees you immensely.

Oh, and take time out to enjoy it all. That's key.
Water storage could also be used as a way to mitigate the radiation problem in space. If you had a 'sleeve' inside the hull that contained water, you'd have both a large storage capacity for fuel as well as inbuilt radiation shielding?

For my PhD program, I specifically looked for advisors doing the type of simulations I was interested in. There weren't many (1989-1990 time frame). I found one who on paper looked great: lots of good recent publications, assistant prof (she was working on getting tenure, so she was hungry), she had reasonable grants for a theorist, and she needed an apprentice.

Having that helped my application. I started working for her before starting school.

I still had to take courses. I passed the PhD qual test on entry, and had 2 years worth of courses to take. Transferring in some of the masters courses helped some. I offered to test out of the courses, but it was explained to me that the physics department liked their revenue, even though most of the money coming in was research grant based. The BS I had to go through to take a chemistry course which would have been helpful was a side effect of their love of inbound revenue, and dislike of outbound payments.

Basically, I think the economic model at my alma mater was quite broken. This model generally governs behavior of schools, departments, etc. Having a group to start working with helped me clear some of this BS, but I still had to deal with other crap.
I think you'll find that those who seek to "use our community as a market but not contributing to it" (as the older essay https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.htm... points out) will namecall when they think it suits them. He's not the first to do this. Another proprietor called GNU/Linux (which they too called "Linux" perhaps to avoid drawing attention to software freedom by referring to GNU at all) "unAmerican" http://web.archive.org/web/20010508201537/http://news.cnet.c... and "a cancer" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/06/02/ballmer_linux_is_a_c... . Now that proprietor wants us to believe they "[heart symbol] Open Source". Perhaps they do.

But the real harm here is the loss of software freedom for users of that program, not the cost of the program or some bad PR from its developer. That's what users rightly objected to and that's what is the incompatibility between free software and proprietary software. Unfortunately this also serves as another example of how someone talking about "open source" (Canonical in this case) pushes for a loss of software freedom--the freedom to run, inspect, share, and modify published computer software built around an examination of how people treat each other ethically with regard to their computers.

I used to think so - once you have persistent primary memory, you can install operating systems and applications directly into primary memory, so there's no longer any point in having a distinction between "install" and "run/boot".

However, iOS and Android have shown that it's possible to do away with this distinction even with a traditional OS running underneath. So I now tend to think that instead what will happen is more continual evolutionary changes at the OS level to work better in a "boot once" environment, rather than a revolution.
I always tell people that Jira used to be terrible and has been drastically improved (in terms of usability, stability, and features) in the last 5 years.

What I would tell my 25 year old self (just turned 35)

1. Hire a good personal trainer and go consistently.

2. Your thinking should always be in decades, not years: Investing, relationships, career, etc. Patience is something most 25 year old lack, esp in our modern world. Its now a skill you have to learn.

3. Travel WITH YOUR FRIENDS while everyone's free time is vast.

4. Open and max out your Roth IRA

5. Make sure to acquire a new skill each year: playing an instrument, learning web design, coding, cooking, video editing, scuba diving, painting, flying drones, etc.
If the ice sheets melt, it won't just raise sea levels, it'll lower the planet's albedo, directly raising the temperature. That'll bring us further along feedback loops that cause the planet to release greenhouse gases by itself: CO2 and methane from melting permafrost, CO2 from forest fires, methane from hydrates, etc. That will quicken ocean acidification.

As for making people complacent: they're already complacent. I include almost everybody in that. The Paris agreement is unrealistic, lacks enforcement, and most countries are well behind their modest targets. Germany is increasing CO2 emissions because they're shutting down their nuclear plants. Etc, etc.

Maybe what makes good people complacent is watered-down, sugar-coated plans for fixing the climate. Just plant trees, put some solar on your roof, turn down your thermostat, we'll be fine. Maybe it would shake them out of complacency if we showed them what it would actually take to get us out of the mess we're in.
We had a house down on the Gulf of Mexico with a loud fan like that. The fan was powerful enough that it didn't just produce a constant breeze through the open windows, it produced quite a volume of wind.

The thing you have to remember was that when whole house fans were popular, the alternative wasn't to install an air conditioner, the alternative was to build a house with a screened sleeping porch so you could sleep somewhere that cooled off as quickly as the outside air did once the sun set.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_porch

In the deep south, you can still use a whole house fan reduce the number of weeks you need to run the a/c at night to sleep comfortably. Fast moving, cool, humid air blasting across your bed from an open window will have you burrowing into your blankets more quickly than you would expect.

So, I'm in a similar position. I turn 26 tomorrow, being hte only difference I'm a HS math teacher and, well, I enjoy it, but I -hate- the area I'm in. I do enjoy the job and there's none of the usual BS that goes along with teaching, thankfully. And it's in a high-need field in a low-income district, so my loans will be repaid after 10 years.

But, I'm not really enjoying it. I would love to move to Ireland, and have taught myself some developing skills to do that. I've applied to developing jobs here in America, but because I live in the rural South, I haven't been able to network much. I'm seriously considering going back to school in Ireland and trying to use that to network but more loans scare me.

Overall, I'm just not in a good place, and feel like I need to make a change. What advice would you have to give to someone who's in a roughly similar situation to what you were 7 years ago?

Actually, I don't think it's inherent to high FPS playback. It's also that the capture is more fine-grained. I imagine you could capture 300fps, such that each frame is captured over 30ms and play that back at 300fps and retain the cinematic feeling that you are used to. I don't know if doing that would actually bring any of the benefits that normal higher fps capture brings.

You need more than FHE for that; just because I cannot see what I am computing does not mean I will compute the answer correctly. There are ways this can be resolved but it pushes practicality even further back.
Efficient Probabilistic Inference in Search for Physics Beyond Standard Model
I can't show you examples of how badly your statements are mistaken if you aren't willing to look for them yourself.

Dell (just in time supply chain design and driving the cost of the PC down), Pixar (not related to Jobs until acquisition, certainly not driven by him), Woz (breakout was certainly a success - Jobs was assigned to build the prototype at Atari and essentially stole a large part of Woz's compensation and even then Woz is given credit for the design alongside Bushnell; in a sense it was assigned to Jobs essentially because he was Woz's friend) are all counter examples to your statements.

In 1997, anything computer related was experiencing the dot-com boom. It would've been hard to screw up Apple's increasing valuation then, for anyone.
Agreed on most of these points. But I've been on both sides of this transaction, on both sides of the proprietary/FOSS fence (to oversimplify and abstract the difference between Free and Open Source). From experience it is hard to get people to pay for FOSS; my hat is off to those who can manage it.

I do think that vendors should have to put things into some form of shared-source or open-source escrow (possibly shared as they might not have IP rights to open source everything they've done) with a kind of 'dead mans switch' arrangement (i.e. you walk away without updating or responding to bug fix requests, you trigger escrow).

I'm perennially concerned that the fundamentalist attitude to proprietary software is suppressing innovation in some areas: especially complex desktop software where there is (a) a heavy requirement for the kind of tedious UI work that FOSS projects clearly don't bother to do and (b) where most or all of the product is "right there in the code" (i.e. once you have Photoshop, you can go to town and edit stuff, and you're not really all that dependent on having access to some other product or service which can be monetized).

The attitude reaches its most extreme in software tools. Best expressed by Andy Gocke with his great tweet: https://twitter.com/andygocke/status/1017509689695715328

'Developer tools seemed like a good industry to be in, "sell shovels in the gold rush" and all, but it turns out developers prefer to dig for gold with their teeth.'
It's more impressive when you turn this number around: 89% of Americans "use the Internet", up from just over 50% less than 20 years ago.

That is an insane adoption curve for a network that basically didn't exist -- at least not in an approachable, mainstream way -- within the current memory of many of its users.

That's faster than the update rate of either the telephone or electricity or indoor plumbing. (Arguably fair I suppose, since those things all require more infrastructure than the Internet does, which if needed can run over existing telephone infrastructure, and did for a long time.)

And of the people who aren't using the Internet, the plurality (according to the article) are declining to use it by their own decision -- "just not interested" -- not because they can't afford to get online, or don't know how to, or some other externally-imposed hurdle. Which is their prerogative; if people aren't online, I'd hope it's by their own choice and not through inability (the same as not reading books -- if someone isn't reading books regularly, one hopes it's because they're not interested, not because they're illiterate).
Wall Street Firm Riedel Releases Report on AC3 with Coin Value of $20.52
Me personally, I used to spend a lot of sleepless nights stressing out over something or another. Now I give myself an hour. I get up and work on the problem. I’m miserable the next day. But often my brain decides it wants sleep more than laying in bed worrying.

I’d recommend it to anyone, but for sure talk to a doctor.

Yes housing is not in accorandce with the construction costs. Essentially you have inflated bureaucracy and artificial supply constraints & zoning (NIMBY) trying to keep the housing prices up.

Houses are just fine in Boise, ID or Albany, NY but so much cheaper than the coasts. This is really frustrating, and I don't see a politicly workable solution. So spend 50% on rent or move to Idaho...

None of this is even considering that we may be able to substantially lower construction costs with prefabricated/3d printed homes/economies of scale.
Any advice on how to find a good coach?
The caseloads of public defense attorneys (particularly in historically segregated states) are significantly more burdensome than that of prosecutors. Furthermore, prosecutors have access to free investigation services--the cops--whereas defense attorneys, particularly the overloaded ones, don't have much if any budget for that kind of work. Sometimes they'll pay out-out-pocket to track down witnesses using private investigators, but for obvious reasons that doesn't scale.

Some cities like San Francisco have laws that enforce rough parity in budgeting and caseload, but even then public defenders are at a huge disadvantage (e.g. prosecutors benefit from the police budget).

For practical reasons there's no way to address this adequately. The underclass is too numerous, and disparity in wealth too great, to think we can fix this administratively. The best first step is to make the stakes less severe by lowering penalties. Not everything needs to be a 1st degree felony. The next step is to be more consistent--pursue misdemeanor charges and lesser felonies more vigorously so that outcomes are more consistent, regardless of the wealth or stature of the client. Tweak the system so that it will tend toward more equal outcomes, rather than trying to brute force it.
...and, further down, some really tragic.

"Ambien destroyed my life and I remember nothing of what happened. It has now been over five years since your lovely Ambien walrus convinced me to try to end my life and well as the lives of my children. We didn't go on any shopping spread or driving excursions, not that I remember, apparently he wanted more from me than my money, he wanted my life and the reasons I lived for.

My children are fine, thank God, even though now I will never see them again. Its been five years and a month since the last time I remember seeing them. I have been stuck in the legal system since then and it seems never ending. I will never again have the life I once had. I won't get to see my children graduate, I will never get another hug or snuggle from them. I did get my life from them. My nine year old son ran for help and saved all of us and I am thankful for that.

Before any of you take ambien, think of what can go wrong. I am the poster child of what can go wrong on ambien and I was crucified in the media for it and I will spend the rest of my life paying for it.

My name is Rebecca Koehler and I am from Oklahoma. Google it. It happened March 2, 2011. Never let it happen to you."

Yes but it's also cheaper than DRAM.

Not that I disagree. I do not, but is there not also a path of inference possible?

Even new cars can be polluting more than expected. All those VWs out there that don't have their computers corrected from the cheating scandal. And I see a fair amount of 1/2 ton pickup trucks with 4 inch exhaust pipes that pump out clouds of black exhaust.
I took Ambien 3 times, started after not being able to sleep for ~3 days (not directly after (I was able to naturally sleep after that day)). First 2 times were ok, didn't seem like I had any side-effects like sleep walking etc. The 3rd time I took, it gave me what I would describe as a psychotic breakdown. From an outer observer, I was sleeping (this was college and all my roomies were in the room, studying, I was "sleeping") but it felt very much like I was awake and there. I was completely dissociated from my own self and felt as if I was a "shoe seller in Venice". Never been in Venice in my life. When I was finally able to control my body after 2 hours of silently screaming, I started muttering about stuff and asked for help. I had no recollection of who I was. When my roomies brought me some water/food everything slowly became normal. I just felt what I would describe very drunk. I didn't feel intoxicated -- as in I could walk etc just fine -- but my mind was very "drunk". Not like a weed "high". After about half an hour, I was feeling alright and went back to sleep because I had an 8am the next day. Never touched Ambien again. The rest of my prescription was used by my roomie who was very into drugs. He never had any problems with it.
I wonder if you could combine that approach (having property owned by a company in a tax haven) with Prop-13 (in which property taxes grow very slowly if the property is not sold), and if anyone has ever done an assessment of how much property in California is owned by such entities.

I wouldn't know how to begin building an argument against this. Constantly rising housing costs is a pure wealth transfer which also doubles as fake saving mechanism in case of buying
Currently 25 myself, though I turn 26 tomorrow (well, 2 and half hours, now). I'm in a job (secondary mathematics teacher) I don't hate, but don't love. Really, I wish I could get over my fears. Fear of failure, but mostly fear of my student loans. I want to move and work abroad, specifically Ireland, and I feel that going back to school would be the best way to get a job (mostly because it would give me time and an easy path to network) since all my technical skills are self-taught (I've built a few websites using Python, Django/Flask, and Javascript/varying frameworks as well as some unpublished/unpolished Android apps).

As I said, I'm afraid of my loans more than anything, and the fact that I'll have to take out more loans to do this, unless I wait even longer... at which point I then worry about age issues with hiring, etc.

Really, I just needed to vent; definitely not in the best place of my life currently, and maybe someone here will have some good encouragement/advice or be able to at least sympathize.
oh, the consenting adults argument, my ass. As if there aren't enough things consenting adults are banned from choosing like drugs or gambling. Some proprietary crap can be compared to both.

I recently learned a new word: monopsony. That is, a market where single buyer has enough market power to dictate the terms of sale.

If google is not a monopsony they are certainly very close. This is reflected in the margins of online publishers vs those of google. If you want to publish content online, you have to do it on googles terms.

This degree of market power over the flow of information frankly makes me pretty uncomfortable.

> I’m not actually sure penmanship has suffered much from ubiquitous computing.

It certainly has in Japan and China, but I'm not sure that extrapolates to simpler writing systems. I suspect it partially does due to schools spending less time teaching handwriting.

Why?

Traditional servers are persistent: they never turn off. 500+ days of uptime is typical. And today, with VMs which at worst... hibernate... it seems like "never turning off" might be the norm.
Boise is the fastest growing city in the US, with attendant increase in housing cost. Prices aren't completely crazy yet, but my house is worth 65% more than what I paid for it, and is increasing by the year at too large of a rate.

This was a good place to move to, now not so much.
Lord, I hope there aren't apps trying to use TOTP offline. TOTP works by using a shared secret between user and service. This secret and the current time are used to generate a code.

All parties involved must have the secret (this isn't public key crypto).

That means an app that can accept TOTP offline has the secret stored locally where it can be extracted.
