the only way to share identity in a crypto-cap system is to share privkeys, which is a big no-no. much, much safer to have multiple privkeys that are linked with signatures. you probably shouldn't think of ssb id keys as having a 1:1 relationship with a person. they are more like device keys, the person ID is a higher level construct that is expressed by publishing links that assert that a set of keys belong to the same agent.

Well, I guess if you're using Travis, but it won't make much sense if you're on a self-hosted Jenkins instance.
Threadripper is actually not even that great here, it's NUMA (half of the lanes are attached to each die) and if you just want NUMA you can do a dual-socket E5-2650 system for like half the price. Same logic applies to TR here:

https://www.servethehome.com/how-intel-skylake-sp-changes-im...

You're not using the CPU for anything, there is no reason to have a beefy 12-core CPU there. If you really want Threadripper, the 8-core version is fine.

Again, personally I'd look at X79 boards, since they are pretty cheap and you can do up to 4 GPUs off a single root, depending on the board. There are new-production boards available from China on eBay, see ex: "Runing X79Z". Figure about $150 for the mobo, about $100 for the processor, and then you can stack in up to 128 GB of RAM, including ECC RDIMMs, which runs about $50 per 16 GB.

There are some Z170/Z270 boards like the "Supercarrier" from Asrock that include PLX chips to multiplex your x16 lanes up to 4 16x slots (does not increase bandwidth, just allows more GPUs to share it at full speed!). They also will not support ECC (you need a C-series chipset for that, which run >$200). So far most OEMs have been avoiding putting out high-end boards for Z370 because they know Z390 is right around the corner so there is currently no SuperCarrier available for the 8000 series.

Sure, but atoms are an extremely good approximation to the truth in the regime in which human brains operate.

> The Standard Model ... fails to explain many physical phenomenon.

Yeah? Like what?

> you're just extrapolating?

Of course. Until we have a full understanding of the human brain, there will be things about its behavior about which we must extrapolate (that's what "not having a full understanding" means). But I'm extrapolating from some pretty damned good data and some pretty damned solid math. So I am highly confident in this extrapolation.

It's definitely sourced from NTSC video. Checkout: http://files.80s.nyc/photos/3/05338/0023.jpg

We've got crosstalk typical of NTSC video being passed through a 2D adaptive comb filter during decoding: cross-chrominance and cross-luminance are both visible in this sample.

Based on the appearance I'm assuming these images were stored sequentially on U-matic tape.

If they had chosen to repeat each image twice they would have enabled perfect 3D comb filtering (SNR issues aside). Unfortunately, they didn't.
When I looked two years ago, SSB wasn't documented as a protocol or storage format much, and instead focused squarely on usage from JS code and a million of micro-dependencies via npm, making it hard to tell data formats from implementation details.

I haven't checked since, but unless the situation has substantially improved since, it's no surprise that the JS implementation is the only one out there.

Neal Stephenson does a good job of presenting that sort of attitude in Cryptonomicon:

"I don't like the word 'addict' because it has terrible connotations," Root says one day, as they are sunning themselves on the afterdeck. "Instead of slapping a label on you, the Germans would describe you as 'Morphiumsüchtig.' The verb suchen means to seek. So that might be translated, loosely, as 'morphine seeky' or even more loosely as 'morphine seeking.' I prefer 'seeky' because it means that you have an inclination to seek morphine."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Shaftoe says.

"Well, suppose you have a roof with a hole in it. That means it is a leaky roof. It's leaky all the time--even if it's not raining at the moment. But it's only leaking when it happens to be raining. In the same way, morphine-seeky means that you always have this tendency to look for morphine, even if you are not looking for it at the moment. But I prefer both of them to 'addict,' because they are adjectives modifying Bobby Shaftoe instead of a noun that obliterates Bobby Shaftoe."
It absolutely isn't.

Industries are regulated because they don't naturally do what society wants. Regulation changes their incentives and behavior to make that happen.

For me, "non-ugly" means that it uses the standard UI controls and UI theme for the platform in a reasonable way. That's exactly what the screenshot shows. I would describe it as "neat". All your links are the exact opposite of that.

I'm sure someone (and, in particular, their designers) think they look nice. But the thing about looks is that they're very subjective. However, if I'm using some OS/desktop combo, that means I find its UI, at the very least, acceptable. And thus any app that uses native UI look & feel on that platform is also acceptable. I can't say that for many custom-themed apps.

For example, out of your links, I would say that 2 are downright ugly, and the third is tolerable. And I'm not sure what "in 2018" has to do with that.
The journal article by the Shazam creators titled, "An Industrial-Strength Audio Search Algorithm"[0], was one of the first CS papers I ever read. It was very easy to follow and I remember even making a personal utility that implemented their algorithm.

3. VPN helps by obfuscating IP address which is one way you can be tracked.

4. What you are trying to do is clear cookies and history regularly so trackers can't vacuum that data up. You can probably set similar defaults in Safari but I don't know how.

The Senate hearing was about election influence of tech giants, not limited to any company bias (most of the hearing was about Russia/China,) not seeing how that's tyrannical and I'm incredibly libertarian. It was a show, as most public Senate hearings are...but my point is that the entire reason the CEO is meeting lawmakers now is because he snubbed them during the Senate hearing earlier.

The Senate cares way way more about Google killing cooperation with the DoD and then cuddling up to China to censor search than anything else. Google's willingness to violate human rights to gain a foothold in a search market should bother more people than it currently does.
When I first heard about it, I signed up for it and set it up on all of my computers and devices.

I also evangelized it pretty heavily and managed to get about 10 other people to use it.

Unfortunately, I ran into some pretty major issues with the desktop clients. They seemed to be coded pretty poorly, eating up massive amounts of CPU and/or RAM, and sometimes even causing my computer to freeze.

In practice, there also didn't seem to be much point to encrypting conversations if there was no password required to actually see them (if someone got a hold of my computer). And (at the time) there was no way to delete a message.

Due to these issues, I ended up installing it.

I'm curious if things have gotten any better since then?
VW, presumably, has armies of software engineers/other technical people (That you might find on HN, etc) so I don't think it's unreasonable to assume someone will stumble across it.

It's also worth saying that even if they don't have a automated system to look for x-infringement, they have many employees who when bored could end up searching for (say) Volkswagen on github.

Whether they care or not is another matter...
I'm not a historian, but from what I can tell:

1. The Poles won a decisive victory in the Polish–Soviet War (1921) a war in which the Soviet's had a clear advantage because the Polish forces were able to intercept and read Soviet communication during the Battle of Warsaw [0]. This reinforced the value of such intelligence to the Polish government.

2. Poland understood it was only a matter of time before Germany or the Soviets/Russia attempted to occupy them again. They made the breaking of German and Soviet codes and ciphers a priority.

3. The Polish cryptographers understood the importance of their work. They had the shared national trauma of Germany and Russia's many attempts at exterminating Polish culture during over several hundreds years of foreign occupation. They were the best cryptanalysis in the world and they had the full support of the government and intelligence services and were dedicated to their mission

The wikipedia article on the Cipher Bureau "Biuro Szyfrów" [1] is worth reading.

>During this period, until the collapse of France in June 1940, ultimately 83 percent of the Enigma keys that were found, were solved at Bletchley Park, the remaining 17 percent at PC Bruno. Rejewski commented: "How could it be otherwise, when there were three of us [Polish cryptologists] and [there were] at least several hundred British cryptologists, since about 10,000 people worked in Bletchley... Besides, recovery of keys also depended on the amount of intercepted cipher material, and that amount was far greater on the British side than on the French side. Finally, in France (by contrast with the work in Poland) we ourselves not only sought for the daily keys, but after finding the key also read the messages.... One can only be surprised that the Poles had as many as 17 percent of the keys to their credit"

Not quite the same level but I remember before gen 4 game consoles were announced, for a while the NDA hoops we had to jump through and the care we had to take when discussing them internally was intense. For a long time we just called them "gen4a" and "gen4b" (a legacy that still lives in our code base to this day), and you weren't allowed to verbalise which one was which. This was followed by more code words, so you then had to remember which code name matched up with gen4a and which one was gen4b. SDK and firmware drops were strictly locked down of course, and we had to hide the dev kits when any kind of video crew or photography was taking place around our work areas even though the kits were pretty much unrecognisable and even if it was for an internal purpose (but that's to be expected, anyway). Also you could not stack one particular kit on top of the other one because it was known to overheat faster than a pug in summer.

The court house needed $70 for the license. A friend did the ceremony (One benefit of Freedom of religion in the US is there are religions with one belief: people should be married. They will ordain anyone who shared that belief to be a priest to perform marriages for $20, and then help you get certified to perform a marriage in whatever state you want to perform a marriage in). You need two witnesses, and they are traditionally not paid. In short, you need 5 people and $70, and 1 of those 5 needs to do something special that might cost money (but he can do for more friends)

Everything not in the above list is optional. Grandma's backyard is free, or pay for something more if you want. You can invite just the 5, or 10,000 people. You can serve food or not. You can have rain plans or get wet. You can have live music, a dj, a friend with a ipod, or no music. You can have special fancy outfits or whatever you came out of the barn with. You can have photos or not. You can have a nice honeymoon or not.

I set my budget. I stayed within my budget. I didn't have some things most people do. I did some things that most people do not. I spent more on the honeymoon than the wedding and I'm glad I did. Your values and budget will be different, that is your choice.

The other choices, unfortunately, weren't much better. New York calibrates its schools to match up with parent commutes so that kids leave at the same time or earlier, and these parents in my neighborhood often had the same 90+ minute commute. As an example, there was a much closer in school that was 45 minutes away by bus, but they started at 7am, so it would've required an earlier wakeup time.

There was a school within walking distance, but the graduation rates weren't too hot. The nice thing about school choice, in theory, is that it doesn't cause neighborhoods to gentrify or disintegrate due to the quality of the local school. But if you scale it up to a million kids you basically make it so that only people with time and money can really game the system. I wouldn't consider myself particularly blessed, but I definitely was not the worst off person.
> Force touch is no more a secret than the adoption of the right mouse button was in Windows 95.

I don't think you understand discoverability at all.

People know there's a right mouse button simply by looking at the mouse. They might not know when or where to use it but they can see the button and know it has a purpose. The button invites people to press it and they might randomly try it in various places to see if it does anything and discover a feature. The OS is irrelevant.

You can't see Force Touch. You don't know it's there until someone tells.
