Slow-Moving Inventory: All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go (2003)
The article says the token "maps" to the SSN, and since they want to give different tokens to different vendors using VGS, I'd assume they're either wholly random tokens associated in a database somewhere or that some other factor of randomness is added in.

But the issue I see is that there still has to be a way that the user is handing say, their SSN to a website, for it to request the token key that associates with it, which is a big risk point. Because they need to identify themselves in a way that can identify the correct VGS account to talk to?

I mean, I think really you'd be better off doing a private/public key thing, where you have some sort of device that gives a sub-key of your master identity key to the vendor?
US voters don't want taxpayer funded healthcare, like other developed countries. US voters also aren't able to negotiate with medical providers directly, due to lack of knowledge and ability to negotiate while dying. The health insurance setup with capped profit margins seems like a decent option, considering no others have worked. There are a few problems, like allowing employers to offer it and tax exempt premium payments. If everyone was dumped on healthcare.gov, a healthy market for health insurance might emerge.

I think it's a grey area, and the seller has to do research into the buyer. It's kind of like if you're an authorized firearms dealer. There's no issue selling to the general population, but if you knowingly sell to someone who intends to use it for a crime, then you can get arrested. That's what the researcher who stopped the WannaCry worm was arrested for; the FBI had logs showing that he'd helped build a tool to spy on Android devices, and that he knew the buyer was going to use it to commit crimes.

Not all 0 day vendors are shady either. At an old employer, we were authorized to purchase 0 days with company money to use during penetration tests because they wanted us to emulate state-sponsored attacks. The vendor had a website for their company and customer support as well. Immunity Canvas also has an optional subscription for 0 days you can purchase to use with their framework.

True. I guess I wish their original programming didn't skew so heavily that direction. It wasn't as much of a problem for me when they still licensed a lot of non-original programming.
Another thing you can do in warmer climates is to just not expend energy when it's hot. It's tolerable in the morning and evening, so work then. Modern business doesn't accomodate this, hence air conditioning.
RAID6, which provides two drives worth of parity compared to RAID5's single drive worth of parity, is the most common successor, especially in hardware (ASIC) implementations.

Other examples are ZFS's RAID-Z, which can support even more parity for even more resiliency to drive failure.

Contrary to a sibling comment, RAID1+0 does not supersede RAID5, as it has existed at least as long and has always had different trade-offs.

How many drive failures one may need to be able to survive, given historical drive failure rates [1], current drive capacity vs. transfer rates (i.e. minimum rebuild time), and individual parameters (e.g. number of drives per array, acceptable magnitude of performance degradation during rebuild), is left as an exercise to the reader.

As the OC suggested, this number can still be 1 (i.e. RAID5) for SSDs.

It's possible. I used venmo because it had a super-duper-simple sign-up, worked with credit cards, had low fees, and my friends were already asking for money that way. All I care about is my own transactions.

I go to instagram to see nice pictures sometimes and contact friends and family. I never, ever go to venmo to see how people are spending money.

> If everybody has a college degree, then those skills aren’t rare and you won’t get paid highly for them. Salary is about how hard you are to replace, not how good/qualified you are.

I disagree. Your model only works under the assumption that the economy can only have so many jobs. If the US graduated 10x as many engineers from 1990 until now, the economy would be much larger than it is today. Which means that salaries may even be higher because despite a 10x increase in workforce, the demand for them may have increase by 15x.

This is an easily observable situation. Regions with concentrations of talent tend to have much higher salaries for such people than regions where that talent is scarce.
I'm going to guess that the money has nothing to do with it.

You use $ as a way of keeping score and when you hear of others making more, you feel like you failed.

Bad news - no amount of money will fix that.

Good news - you can change it today with a real healthy and honest talk with yourself (and good friends who know you) to find out how you should define success.

Put it in your own terms. For me: I found much more happiness when I made a little less but increased my autonomy. It was huge for me. Like Night and day difference in my happiness.

Hope that helps
It's not unique to TomsHardware, though they are a prominent offender. Look up "reviews" for any tech product, almost every article will be mostly copy and paste from PR. This is on purpose: any marketing agency worth their salt will have relationships with major publishers to get content promoted and editorialized. It even happens with indie people with large social media followings. See the agency Social Native, for example.

tl;dr everything is astroturfed
Its close to the episode of the last ship. These leaders are insane, but its common such tactics in their culture!
Interestingly though, they have very little content that is 40+ years old. In the United States, there are currently just 10 films available from the 1960s. Five of those are Bollywood films and three concern Barbara Streisand. There are only four films from the 1950s, including White Christmas, which always make good August viewing.

There are so many amazing films from those two decades. Where are they?
Yeah I guess it depends on what you're trying to optimize (they use web mercator because roads didn't meet at right angles up north for example). But if you're mostly interested in indexing physical areas with polygon approximations, it seems like having each cell be the same area would be the ideal, but idk.
A/C consumes less energy than heating.

A/C is effectively a closed system when operating. A fireplace or furnace is not.

A/C is needed most in places and times where solar panels work the best. Heating is the opposite.

Hace un año intenté adelgazar haciendo mucho deporte. Un entrenador que tuve me dijo que tomara una pastilla de cafeina para entrenar.

– tómate 3, que te veo en baja forma, y ya verás que bien entrenaremos…

– 3? no es mucho?

– hazme caso, que ya verás que bien

Le hice caso. Y fue una absoluta locura. No entrenaba, volaba. La hora y media que duró el entrenamiento se me quedó corto y cuando salí de alli, queria mas. Tenia a la tarde una escena programada con una actriz. Le meti un casquete de una hora que salió volando la tia. Yo estaba que lo flipaba. Esa escena me puse encima casi todo el rato jaja.

Despues de esa chica, al cabo de un rato me llamó otra que a ver si podia rodar con ella, que necesitaba dinero bla bla. En circunstancias normales le hubiese dicho que no, con una basta al dia. Le dije que si. Asi que venga, otro polvete. Estuvimos una hora y media dale que te pego. Yo me sentia de maravilla, y podia con mas. A la noche llamé a una follamiga que tenia, y le meti otro cohete que duró casi dos horas. Que me estaba pasando doctor?. Tres en una dia. No sabia lo que me pasaba, pero creo que tenia mucho que ver esas pastillitas.

Me costó mucho dormirme, asi que para relajarme me hice una paja. A eso de las 6 de la mañana conseguí dormirme. Al dia siguiente me levanté como si me hubieran puesto una puerta de cemento encima. Un dolor de cabeza antologico y estaba cansadisimo. Accion, reaccion. Eso es lo que pasa cuando te excedes un dia a causa de las drogas, que al final el cuerpo te pasa factura.

Aprendi la leccion y nunca mas he tomado ni una sola pastillita. Lo natural es mucho mejor. Tardé dos-tres dias en recuperarme totalmente. Menuda paliza le di a mi cuerpo ese dia.

You're speaking as if Rails is useless now, when in reality it's still a great tool depending on the job, especially since Rails has an API-only mode that works great with the modern SPA front-end ecosystem (sidenote: not every app needs to be a SPA). I built a company with it that provides a developer API, and that has a modern SPA front-end. Rails is still useful, especially for startups.

(And DHH didn't literally retire--he runs his company, Basecamp, which is built on Rails, which he actively maintains.)

The parent comment that I replied to:

So the 'who' would be the parent commenter.

That type of comment feels so out of place here. I've clearly deeply annoyed you, but it's hard to tell from your reply what exactly your issue is.
Those are the things that I don't want to see in Go, honestly.
Decentralized storage is already barely economical compared to centralized storage, if it makes sense at all.

While this might reduce latency, it sounds like in practice it'd multiple the redundancy of the system and make it even less cost effective?

Sure, under what theory of law wouldn't it be? I mean, assuming of course that there is no insider dealing here, that they didn't have any hand in creating the security vulnerability themselves (or inducing its creation), but that they only discovered something out there in the world, then they have the right to talk about that as they see fit. Or not, or sell it. There may be social consequences, and if they're employed by someone else there could be terms in their contract covering that or a range of other legal behavior, but publishing/selling true information one discovers is protected under general law (and common sense frankly). It could be different if the entity they were selling to was itself a criminal enterprise and they knew or should have known that ("a reasonable person would have"), but even that is not an issue for government agencies, or selling it to the responsible developer, or to generalist security middlemen companies that do things like buy these up and then sell special early notice to their clients or such. There are legal entities that are willing to pay for some exploits, and it's legal to sell to them.

Many security researches voluntarily have decided on a moral level that they care about general security welfare most of all and that following specific standards and timelines of disclosure will maximize that, but even with the same goal reasonable people can disagree there too right up until full disclosure immediately. Some are just paid for that, because like open source an organization might decide that better security overall will ultimately be good for their bottom line (like Google). And some people just want fame or to put food on the table via their unique marketable skills, which is their call too.
> The rogue CA would need to perform a classical MiTM as all the other mortals do, having access to the signing keys does not give you special MiTM powers, other than when you actually are able to conduct a MiTM through other means, you'll have valid certs to intercept the connection.

But this thread is operating under the thought experiment that the NSA already owns LetsEncrypt. And in reality-- at least according to the Snowden leaks-- NSA currently has classical MiTM capabilities. (Can't remember which program it was that was using some node between the user and the desired server to send back a forged response that would almost always beat the server to the punch.)

So in this thought experiment there are only two pieces of Triforce and NSA has them both.

The Nesdev wiki is the bible for writing NES emulators. It has all the technical documentation you'll need to implement the various aspects of NES hardware. It also has plenty of test ROMs, which are incredibly useful for verifying implementation details!

http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/NES_reference_guide

Fair warning, while it's pretty easy to get a half-decent 6502 emulator up and running, implementing the PPU is incredibly tricky. If you don't have a lot of experience writing emulators, I'd recommend starting with a simpler system, like the CHIP-8, before tackling the NES.

Here's an article on it that was posted awhile back:
https://medium.com/@smcallis_71148/complex-arithmetic-is-com...

The gist is that you can get Nan+jNan for some operations where you wanted "infinity", so to do things their way, you have to insert a NaN check after multiplication for example. This isn't too bad by itself (it's just a bit mask), but it completely borks the vectorizer.
All politics is identity politics. After the revolution only rich white land owners could vote, elections and governing were based on the wills of a single identity: rich, white, men. Not much has changed in America since then but as more enfranchisement came to the population it is OBVIOUS that other groups would focus their politics on what would help them over what would help others.

I'm sure that it's more likely that female voters would lobby for a sexual harassment bill than men; its already been shown that Asian voters gathering in opposition to affirmative action moves because they feel that their kids are targeted (see NYC specialized schools, Harvard). Even throughout the 2016 election and the postmortem most news outlets focused on the "identity" of the white, middle aged, "heartland" / rust belt voter who has been shafted by globalization.

It seems to me the term identity politics and everything that comes with it is simply a backlash against groups that have been traditionally marginalized but who are now entering the political arena and making demands.

It's useful to understand what a "self-funded" plan means.

People in the US are used to their employers purchasing group health plans from insurance companies. In that model, a premium (often part paid by the employer, part by the employee) is paid to an insurance company in return for coverage. When there's a claim, the insurance company pays, out of its own money, and the insurance company's profit comes from taking in more money in premiums than it pays out in claims.

In a self-funded plan, the employer and employees still pay premiums, and all that money goes into a pool which is used to pay the claims. Typically a company is hired to administer the plan, but that company is not an insurer, and that company does not pay claims; the money to pay off claims comes directly out of that pool of premiums.

What this means is that the administrator just pays whatever it's told to pay by the company that hired them to run the plan. It's not the administrator's money being spent, and their profit is in the fees they charge to run the plan, not in denying or underpaying claims.

My very first real job out of school, years and years ago, was a place that did administration for self-funded plans. About once a month we'd get a call from one of our client companies saying "yeah, we know our plan's rules say not to pay that claim, but we want to pay that claim". And we'd say "OK, it's your plan and your money, you make the rules".

The downside is that if the company gets into financial trouble, its contributions to the pool of money that pays claims are often one of the first things to stop happening. I remember pretty clearly one client company that went bankrupt and just stopped paying into its plan, and once the money in the plan's pool ran out there were no more claims paid.
Companies seem willing to pay more for more targeted advertising and if other mediums could switch over to it they would (the issue is that something like print can't). I'm not sure what other motivation they would have besides profit incentive for it.

They gave me ciprofloxacin for about 4 days without knowing after surgery. Every day in, my ADHD symptoms got worse, my psych medication was less effective and my pain levels increased to a point I noted down 10/10 in my notebook + that page looks like I am a mad lady having a total breakdown.
One and a half day later, after I got switched to another class of antibiotics my pain levels dropped to 3-4/10 and I could focus better. This happened suddenly, like someone flipped a switch in my head.

On an earlier occasion I was making detailed suicide plans the second week in on ciprofloxacin, which resolved itself shortly after discontinuation.

It has not caused permanent damage to me but this I have to list it as "allergy" for doctors not to prescribe it to me. I had problems doctors not believing the mental issues that this antibiotic cause.
I work traditionally and understand the greater sense of accomplishment when you put in more effort. For me it's usually about the journey I took to solve the problem more than the actual outcome so I definitely appreciate it more.

I don't agree that just "biggest" is the best place to concentrate on to the exclusion of other things. Taking into account the usefulness to society of the activities and the difficulty in acting would definitely both be appropriate.

Secondly, what sense does it make to refuse to do anything about small problems until they become bigger problems?

And of course, there's no reason we can only do one thing instead of many things.

People with engineering samples do know, so maybe bloomberg have been in contact with one? Also see the wccftech leaks. These cards seem to perform close to nVidia's own estimates so far. This isn't to say that they aren't way pricier than the current 10x0 equivalents - you're paying twice the price for (generously) 150% the performance in gaming benchmarks. On the other hand, the ray-tracing core is quite important for anyone doing GPU rendering and the 2080(ti) should be a hit with architects, designers, animators etc - at least those who can't afford a Quadro (there is an entire order of magnitude difference in price). They also have tensor cores that can carry out low-precision matrix mathematics with good speed, which is important for neural networks. All these cores are also all on one chip and share memory, so the results of one can be used by the other with no costly memory copies. There are workloads where these cards will be twice as fast as the current ones. You'll have to wait for benchmarks and see if game studios and software vendors can adapt to all the new features present. I'll just point out that Microsoft unveiling a ray-tracing API for DirectX wasn't entirely just their own idea and showing it off not long before the RTX was announced is no coincidence.
Because now is later than when they said later?
I feel like I'd be more inclined to take critiques of identity politics seriously if those critiques didn't seem to only come up in opposition to historically mistreated minority groups.
