I can’t really tell what you mean but I suspect that it doesn’t make any sense.

What on Earth do you mean when you say “generalized computing is fundamentally defined by a context free language in which a processing transition can execute and not care was previous states were”?

Perhaps you are just writing context free/sensitive when you mean something different from “the set of words that may be formed by starting with some nonterminal symbol S, following rules of the form A -> xy where A is any nonterminal and x and y are either terminal or nonterminal symbols, repeating until there are no nonterminals left.”

If you really mean something about all computations being expressible in a context free language then I suppose I would have to agree but I put it to you that a regular language would be sufficient.

The other thing I can’t understand is what this has to do with either the parent or the article?
Just speaking as one free software lover to another, I am happier that the Redpine Signal doesn't need downloadable firmware to function.

It means that there will be just one version of firmware shipped. Just one version of firmware that the whole community will focus on analyzing, patching (only for the librem phone, it's only pure chance if that helps any other device), and if a patch is needed:

* Redpine can either tell the entire community how to flash the firmware, or else the egg is on their face for shipping a broken firmware. *

(There's basically no chance that the Redpine chip is actually not field-upgradeable if you have the right vendor tool and probably also a windows box to run the tool on.)

The rest of the world seems to think, "flash it every time it boots up and I don't really care where that binary blob came from."

I'll also just add, I can respect your position. Thanks for supporting Free Software, and I get it that there's value to being able to upgrade. That's kind of what I'm hoping happens later, if (cough, cough, when) there's a bug or exploit or worse.

If purism waited until a manufacturer offered a perfectly open device, they'd have to wait until GNU Hurd ships on a phone... j/k

Add to that rant the fact that for a while mozjs was the choice javascript engine for various projects that wanted a JS interpreter. Then one day they decided to literally break the API, every couple weeks, and its been going on for years. The language bindings aren't even the same now, and projects like gnome end up with these rather large patch sets every few months just to keep up.
A splice may or may not work, or something in between. The splice might cause enough attenuation that you go over your optical budget (signal strength and receiver sensitivity) so no link comes up. But it might come up just barely and then you may have some bad frames as a result.

> You could build ES clusters on AWS directly on EC2 and it would be cheaper than Cloud, unless what you're really looking for is that support contract.

Or you are willing to trade money for dev time. Setting up and running the ES cluster on EC2 will take time and energy (source, I did it ). Whereas setting up the ES cluster on either the Elastic Search hosted service or AWS ElasticSearch is really just clicking some buttons.

However, I'm sure the right solution also depends on the amount of data you are using and the problem you are trying to solve.
Of course not. I don't think it need be stated on HN but just in case, security is all about probability, and part of that guess is how motivated your adversary is. If you do a good job of making it too much of a hassle to target you, you can get away with not worrying about being successfully attacked.

If you are a high value target, then you need to step up your game, but people always make mistakes and don't appreciate unusual attack vectors.
The change from pound to shekel was motivated by wanting a Hebrew name. This change was decided long before hyperinflation started, and didn't have much economic effect.

The change from shekel to new shekel was a 1000x redenomination, done after inflation was under control, reflecting the way people already talked about prices (in thousands).

This is different from the sense of 'ditch' in the previous conversation, which meant that the old currency became suddenly worthless.

I'm not sure what the difference is in sorting by category vs. order.

For example, consider an array of one million arbitrary alpha-numeric strings. If you were to sort them by category, would that mean simply making contiguous regions of the array where each string begins with the same character?
No, it's not understandable at all. It might be understandable to have an option to display descriptions or not, but not remove altogether. Frankly, Firefox was, for a long time, the only major privacy-respecting browser. Heck, Tor Browser is still built on FF. By only caring about "telemetry" (i.e. random information sharing without the user having the ability to audit data prior to any transmission), and not caring about providing the best and most robust privacy-focused feature set, Firefox is actively cutting off a major part of its old user base, telling them that Firefox is not the browser which they originally installed anymore. Now, if the description data was being stored in plaintext and that data was being leaked, by all means, say that outright so we know that the devs screwed up again, remove the dangerous function, leave the data to the user (that part really kills me, btw - Mozilla is trying to delete information from my PC without my explicit consent), and put it in roadmap to reimplement in a more privacy-driven way.

That means, do not reveal information to any server - and I mean any - if I have a server on my network, don't let my user settings leak there. Do not rely on an external, insecure, website to do what your browser should. And all websites are insecure - I am not the only person to deal with the server from bare metal up, that means there are twice as many security risks as there are abstractions from me plugging my computer directly into that computer.

If you want "telemetry", give me a button in my options menu to compile the report, in human-readable plaintext, and then, only after I approve it, ask me to send that text file through sFTP to a server I can log into with a one-time username and password, with 1024bit encryption minimum. I would be okay with sending a monthly report, after having confirmed that it does in fact contain no information whatsoever that could be used to deanonymize me. Anything more than once a month per user is extreme, and means that the devs are being overloaded with data so they don't have time to manually code.
Even if it comes from the NSA it doesn't necessarily mean it's backdoored. Speck is a good algorithm for performance constrained devices. It was removed from the kernel since it couldn't be included into Android systems due to political reasons, and the authors of the module wrote an implementation of an alternative algorithm for this use-case.
URLs might have security issues, but they are one of the main reasons the internet became such a success.
Diff. eq. is a difficult topic. Not only you need to have a good understanding of a lot of other mathematic topics (derivatives, integrals etc) to properly understand it since it builds upon those but you also need somebody to guide you on how to think when solving such problems (i.e you'll need to solve diff. eq. together with your teacher).

Thanks, that explains a lot. Sometimes HN's moderation style of changing links causes this kind of confusion.
That looks like a bit of a strawman. It wasn't that stuff on Web 1.0 was meant to be 'free' per a 'socialist model'. It was just sharing information and was completely orthogonal to concepts of money or value.

When you sit down next to someone on a train and start a conversation you don't start by saying 'the following exchange of words is free of cost'. Cost doesn't even come into it. It's not socialist, capitalist or pineapple. It's just words.

That's easy: The Chinese government could infiltrate the factory and keep a record of the on-chip private key, then kill anyone who doesn't agree to go along with it. Or bug the programming devices. Chinese courts are far from independent - they do as they are ordered by the Communist party, and rulings highly depend on guanxi or connections (family, party, or both).

The whole security key thing relies on a chain of trust. Unless you are designing your own chips (and verifying samples of them to ensure nothing has been added), you can't ever really know if some bad actor or state actor has compromised the chain somewhere along the way.

So far in the US, such things are not legally required and where ordered by lower courts the appeals courts have overruled them. As it stands today the government can't require anyone outside of a telephone company to implement any technological measure to assist them in spying (telcos are required to assist with wiretaps). Companies might go along with a request of course.

I'm not saying there is a perfect solution here, but in general I trust chips and devices manufactured in the US and Sweden to a much higher degree than devices made in China.

This was me. I studied ChemE, and after working at a startup where I worked a more EE leaning project, I’ve realized this is what I would have liked to study instead. A lot of electronics are much simpler than I ever imagined.

I grew up in a community that was just coming out of this phase (the combined Israeli and Persian Jewish communities of LA). I think you're interpreting "relations" in a way too close to the "relatives" of the (relatively atomized) White American society.

Informal immigrant aid networks are generally wider than "close friends and relatives" - they extend to distant cousins and friends-of-friends. For example, in this article the relevant quote is “If you are a Patel, lease a hotel” - Patels being a relatively broad caste, and a surname representing about 10% of all Indian-Americans, not a "family" in the American sense.

For a concrete example of how this works in the Middle Eastern Jewish community, and historically in the Ashkenazi immigrant Jewish community:

Instead of "hey uncle, I hear you have $50K lying around, could you loan me some?" it's "hello second cousin once removed, my uncle got me in touch with you - I hear you've got $50K lying around?" You're generally a step or two removed from the direct source of money. The act of the intermediary is a one-time intervention and said interaction is usually closed out with a direct thanks or a gift or both, rather than being an ongoing professional relationship. If the venture doesn't succeed you'll have an awkward relationship with the two-hops-removed acquaintance, and the one-hop-removed intermediary will know about it and be less likely to recommend you to others for credit, but real social consequences that extend to direct friends and relatives are reserved for those who are considered to have acted maliciously or irresponsibly (e.g. if it's clear you've blown the money on hookers and blackjack, you and possibly your children will be ostracized).

Search for "credit" in this article on immigrant enclaves for some examples of communities with these kinds of social structures: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/433f/567bd158d95f0c2611489d... (This also mentions different informal lending structures than the ones that I'm familiar with personally - instances in Korean and Latino communities of "lending circles" i.e. collective lending among peers, rather than from individual community eminences.)

> Since the key doesn't have wifi or anything, how can the private key flow back to China?

The bluetooth one has a bluetooth radio (obviously). I suppose it's conceivable that the firmware could have a backdoor that allowed exfiltration of the private keys via that radio. Such a backdoor could probably be used in a targeted way against particular people in public places like a airports or cafes.

Given that Google is marketing these things towards high-value targets such as journalists, campaign advisors, and Google engineers; building such a backdoor would be very tempting. It wouldn't even have to be present in stock keys, if the shipments could be intercepted in the mail on their way to particular targets.
I wish adults were organized enough to a.) call it programming and not Computer Science b.) shift the conversation to STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art & Math) instead of pushing Art out of the discussion and c.) start exposing kids in the tween ages (e.g. 9-13) before a lot of annoying hormones & social pressures kick in together.
I find it hilarious Carmel, Indiana is featured so heavily in this article without mentioning Roundabouts. I grew up near Carmel, and it was famous for its Roundabouts. They have replaced almost every 4 Way Stop with a roundabout. I believe they have more Roundabouts than any other town in the US. They have gone so far as to replace classic overpass bridges over the two major highways with Cassini Oval shaped Roundabouts.

Indeed, and lame ones at that. I've found the qualitative theory of ODEs infinitely more interesting and useful for working with real problems.
It's not like that for the other subjects.

Chemistry has just "Chemistry", good for two college semesters.

Physics has four classes! There isn't an "A" or "B" or "AB", but there is a "C"! You can choose "Physics C Mechanics" and "Physics C Electricity and Magnetism", each worth a college semester. (you can do both) Alternately you can choose "Physics 1" and "Physics 2", which are each worth a semester for non-science non-engineering majors.

Economics has both "Macroeconomics" and "Microeconomics". It's not "A" and "AB", nor is it "A" and "B".
Performance testing is not a boolean yes/no like a unit test. You often have to run the same benchmark test ~50 to get a proper significant mid point, which means they run significantly longer.

Performance issues are often surprising where they come from too, so most of the time budget testing value comes from some sort of integration, UI or end to end test. You also need in the wild perf tracking to find the regional or subset performance issues.

Patel + Hotel owner here.

We are from Indian state Gujarat. Patel is the most common last name in Gujarat.

90+% of Patels I know immigrated to the USA through chain migration. My dad's sister-in-law's sister (A) & her husband came to the USA in last 60s early 70s. Sister (A) applied for the immigration visa for my dad's sister-in-law. My dad's sister-in-law and my dad's brother immigrated to the USA in the late 70s. My dad's brother applied immigration visa for all his brothers & sisters. My dad & his family (including me) immigrated to the USA in the late 90s.

Roughly 200+ of us were migrated to the USA because of the sister (A). Half of them speaks & understand very very basic English. They only have limited options for the job. Mom&Pop kind of motel is easy to run, only requires talking to a few people and its mostly same every day. So they work their butt off for a few years and buy a small motel.

Those who can speak little better English end up working at someone else's hotel when they move to the USA, and from there with the friend/family's help they buy their motel.

> They do not work when inside an input field in GTK.

I feel like this is a symptom of a larger issue: if Firefox is a GTK app (in Linux), why is it up to Firefox to decide how to resolve these inputs? Shouldn't it be GTK doing that? Ergo, shouldn't the "vi-ization" be occurring at the GTK level, and so apply to all GTK apps loaded by the user?

> They do not work in built-in pages (such as errors).

That's certainly dumb, though.
