I recall hearing no, somewhere. I am under the understanding, (don't know where from) that Cisco DOES use Erlang in their stack, and there is a group of people at VMware that does.
My 1995 Volvo 940 Wagon (Estate for you EU?) is probably the best car I've ever purchased. It's comfortable, reliable, easy to work on and doesn't drink that much gasoline. I've had new cars, old cars, fast cars, slow cars, and the Volvo is seriously my favorite. Purchased for $800 a year ago and immediately drove across the USA with it. Only issue was a short in the tail lights. :) Maybe I shouldn't be sharing this information.. I don't need them to become expensive!

> or someone reviewed it

Sometimes I wonder if everyone assumes everyone else has reviewed it, therefore nobody has reviewed it
The conclusion seems sensible with regard to implementations of a given, secure algorithm.

But the title suggests a much wider claim: that closed source crypto in general, hiding everything from system design and primitive selection to implementation is just as secure as open source crypto, where the author expects and receives public scrutiny and must not rely on any obscurity. This wider claim still seems false to me.
That would be nice, but companies don't really have any incentive to make it easy for you to use your data elsewhere.
Elon Musk Tweets Compliment to the “Shortseller Enrichment Commission”
FWIW, I've disliked the look of Python from the first time I saw it and loved Lisp-like syntax immediately. Can agree on C though.
It's already insecure-unless-the-server-checks-the-cookie-header.
Also, almost everyone who lies thinks they'll get away with it. Otherwise, why lie?

Maybe AWS and Apple are counting on the top-secret nature of all this to enable their lies. Would US intelligence agencies really come out on the record to contradict the denials and confirm the hack if it meant destroying the credibility of a couple of American companies? The Bloomberg article detailed how the government was not willing to sound the same alarms against an American company as they were against Huawei and ZTE for just that reason. I'm guessing that creates enough ambiguity for false denials to be effective.

One thing people don't usually mention alongside high cost of nursing homes, is that it seems to be pretty well bounded in time: see for example, https://www.geripal.org/2010/08/length-of-stay-in-nursing-ho...

I had very similar figures (avg 18 months), although unofficial, from a person involved with nursing homes over here (western european well developed country with good medical system), although I obviously cannot cite.

So yes, please visit them as soon as you can after admission, don't put away...
Did you already have a Kubernetes cluster set up? If so, that seems plausible to me. And yes, if you're deploying to a PaaS already, Kubernetes is a fine one. But compared to "start up a process and leave it running", I think any PaaS requires a fair bit of learning to deploy anything complicated.
On any phone with no notch, there is a bezel. This part is not a screen and I don't look at it. If I look at a video on my phone I have no issue watching the video. The video is rectangular and the notch is not visible. Sure I can zoom and set the video full screen and see the notch, I just don't do it. I used to have a phone with a 18:9 screen ratio, I had the same choice: view the rectangular video or use the full screen and lose some information.

I really don't get it.
Yep - that's what the Xilinx Zynq series of chips is. An ARM Cortex A9 core (or two!) and a big chunk of FPGA logic, tied together by AXI bus fabric.
Indeed! I actually started reading this expecting a new product for random meetups on interesting topics; the actual topic was also interesting.

The concept is intriguing, at least if one could keep it on real meeting topics which could have a world of interest and discovery (vs 4chan-ish foolery, of which there is already plenty available)
Have a source for that? Bloomberg says it was the fifth[1] best selling sedan. Also, their numbers include Canada while other manufacturer's do not.

Wait... by _revenue_? Who cares about that? Now units sold isn't the benchmark? C'mon.

I’m curious, who wrote software to use the 1541 cpu as a coprocessor? I did, as a science fair project, but I wasn’t aware of anyone else doing it.
A counterpoint to this is the billion dollar success of cryptocurrencies such as IOTA and Verge that are fundamentally broken from a cryptographic point of view.
Boy, they sure didn't open with a case I could be sympathetic with. Lied to the state police, lied when applying to a city PD, but this time, oh, this time he's telling the truth!

My guess is, word gets around, and "inconsistencies" is just the excuse they need. I'm not saying it makes it right, because next it's going to mere coincidence that a black woman had "inconsistencies" when applying. But in this case, I might be willing to let it go.
>>It's the rocket scientist saying he knows lots of people smarter than him

Well, that much is probably true: the very nature of his/her profession surrounds him/her with similarly smart people, some of whom are going to be smarter.
Legally, you cannot house a non-criminal with an incarcerated criminal. Opens up all kinds of liability issues should a non-criminal get hurt.
The point is that Erlang (like Java etc) needs a runtime, Go doesn't.
The interesting part of this story to me is where the presumption of truth lies for HN. In other contexts, HNers are quick to scream "innocent til proven guilty", but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
I had the same question when I read the article. It sure was lucky that both Apple and Amazon checked the hardware and found the impossible to find chip.

Or, assuming the rest of the article is true, someone somewhere found out about the chip and had a quiet word with a few select customers of Supermicro (but decided to otherwise keep mum about the whole thing). Which would go some way to explain the company denials, because the truth might be a bit embarrassing —or gagged by a three-letter agency.
You've declared, quite clearly, that you think the following things are equivalent:

1. Not actively providing resources to a position you dislike

2. "Using your power to silence" positions you dislike

I know you've said these are equivalent, because you're arguing that certain people owe other people a platform and associated services (1), and you've used the language of (2) to shame them for not doing it.

The only thing left to do at this point is ask if you're willing to practice what you preach.

We are in the same boat. Are you from Africa but working in London/Europe? I am from India but I am working in London.

I have identified millennials to be my main market as well. In India whenever I visited the bank with my father, the person at the bank would try to sell a new card. They always want to "sell" you something, we just have to suck less as a digital bank and the millenials will happily help us get rid of the traditional banks. I've discussed Monzo with a lot of friends, and they have loved the idea.

Curious, what part of Africa are you from? What is the cost of the banking license like there?

Possible that Apple employees with security clearance are the only ones with this knowledge i.e. it's fully possible that even Tim Cook doesn't know about this

You can use a yubi key, or IMO better yet, a trezor crypto wallet(as unlike yubi, you can clone and restore it more easily with your seed words). Not sure how yubi works, but trezor generates deterministic passwords based on your private keys. Plus it's open source so I guess if they go bust you should be able to retain access to your passwords and to clone/restore ability forever.

Built into browser would be more user friendly, admittedly, but in my opinion this is quite good too, and arguably more secure as your private key is not exposed to your PC.
TreeQL vs. GraphQL

It was my understanding that polygraph tests were mostly useless and just a way to claim someone is lying through clever use of pseudoscience
It's hard to disambiguate familiarity, but I'd suggest that imperative languages are more similar to spoken/written human language, particularly english.

I'd suspect if you gave someone who didn't know lisp or java a simple program and had them try and explain what it was doing they'd have more luck with understanding the java syntax.
I was the same way for the most part, I'd skip taking notes unless a teacher was making a very important point that I knew I wouldn't remember or wouldn't be able to look up later. But most of the time if it was important the teacher wouldn't just say it once and never touch on it again!
Yes, and that's really unfortunate. Doubling the cost of G Suite to get intl numbers is a hard sell, but US numbers basically make the feature completely unavailable for many people.
You’re confusing a nebulous idea of political influence with real outcomes. Strikes have been used to resolve labor disputes, but if your goal is long term and meanful improvement to working conditions and remuneration, then the only times unions have ever achieved that is by restricting access to the profession. Salaries are determined by market forces, political influence will never be able to exert much pressure on the equilibrium. The only time unions have truly succeeded in this is by limiting labor supply over the long term.
It relates primarily to the article and not the parent comment.
I don't know about that. I grokked C's syntax immediately, just from reading K&R, without actually having a compiler to try anything on. It just made sense to me.

I suspect (but cannot prove) that certain languages and/or programming styles make more sense for certain people, and others do so for other people. (There also is almost certainly some bias toward familiarity.)
I think another way of stating it is that often times, IQ is necessary but not sufficient.
This! I wish we had a more technical deep dive.
Climatic Impacts of Wind Power
I'd refer you to the article. Generally speaking, it's not a market. You can't place these things on any property (public or private) without a city permit. And if you place it in a city right of way (e.g., a power pole), they gouge you even more with franchise fees. It's precisely because the city has absolute control that FCC involvement is necessary.
I just got myself a 7 and I couldn't be happier. It's cheap, pretty, more than good enough (the camera software on my Moto G3 was better :-( ).

All that, but what really convinced me was the Android One software. The assurance software will be updated and there won't be any crapware talking up space is awesome.
This echoes my thoughts as well. You can get pretty far with just a simple Docker-Compose file for many personal projects, and still leave the door open to a relatively easy transition to more advanced orchestration tooling should the project grow large enough to require it.

Personally I really like Docker Compose files - virtually no overhead to maintain alongside a handful of Dockerfiles coupled with really simple syntax for expressing the relationships between them. Containers themselves seems conceptually challenging for some newcomers in my experience (concepts like image immutability etc don't have many similar analogues I'd argue if you are new to containers, and I've seen some very experienced developers get stuck trying to map them conceptually to VM images which is not a good fit), but the payoff in the ease of deploying your work is huge. It's nothing a reasonable developer can't learn in a few hours though, and the documentation is pretty good.

I especially find Docker great for projects I worked on years ago - I no longer really need to keep track of how to install/configure the side project I haven't touched in age's software dependencies, just hit 'docker-compose up' and I'm running.

I also really like Docker-Compose as a replacement for things like Vagrant scripts to create developer environments in some scenarios - way less overhead than a vagrant script spinning up multiple VMs on your laptop, and generally much faster deployments.
I read all the words but gained no understanding of what they meant.
Sounds like a libertarian oasis.
Like the IBM typewriters with keyloggers that the Russians planted on US diplomats during the 80s?

The energy consumed by the US is less than 0.1% of the energy the planet gets from the Sun, so I'm not sure the 5% comparison holds water. Besides, computers return their energy cost many times over.

I do agree with the article's conclusion though: the human brain runs at 20W, on par with a low-power laptop, but arguably the former does much more with that energy.
If the company devloping the crypto dedicates the same amount of resources, would open or closed source crypto be more secure?

For me the answer clearly is open source crypto.
I still think papers like these tend to undermine the sophistication and difficultly in solving the hard problem of consciousness. We can throw more and more computing power at creating a GTA-like simulation and make the AI more and more complex and ever more alive; but that won't ever make them conscious. And based on the current understanding, it seems that consciousness is more than just something that springs up from raw computing power. So the whole GTA-ification of reality just doesn't work for me. If we really are in GTA—well, why am I having the experience I am having?

Is that question even answerable?
Tooling and ecosystem: Yes, but how much did Google spend on developing the tooling and ecosystem? Forget the marketing - libraries, tooling, and ecosystem are where corporate support pays off for a language.
Do people really find CSP a good approach to concurrency? I've always thought that channels were a relatively poor choice of fundamental primitive -- channel-based concurrency is tricky to get right and not very composable.

Most viable concurrency primitives are in some sense equivalent (you can build condition variables out of channels and vice-versa, say) but that doesn't mean they're equally good.

Java has per-object "synchronized" and "notify" as its core constructs, but it's a bad idea to use those directly for day-to-day concurrency tasks. Much better to use library classes like ThreadPoolExecutor and Future.

In Go, do you tend to use channels directly, or do you use higher-level wrappers?
It seems like a silly argument. The physics of the outer universe are not bound by the rules of the inner universe. From the perspective of the inner universe, we can never hope to deduce facts about the outer universe based on out observations.
In my experience, a good strategy is to read your notes aloud, preferably while walking.

This forces you to really notice what is written, helps sustain your attention (when you're walking and talking, there's not much cognitive slack for drifting off), will improve your memory (we tend to remember things better when we have spent a larger effort on them), and leads pretty naturally to reason aloud about what you have just read.

Apparently, there used to be perambulatory monks that would follow a similar strategy, reading or reciting sacred texts while pacing around the courtyards of their monastery.
This is an amusing coincidence that confused me quite a bit as I hadn't heard of either before...
> IQ probably maps pretty linearly to GRE scores

For native english speakers, you mean? When i participated, GRE had 2 sections on english language: 1. about vocabulary(may not be relevant depending on your discipline) 2: reading comprehension(certainly useful). I don't think it maps that well to IQ. I certainly had to work on my vocabulary, which i don't have any use for and don't remember much at all.
I know a group of people that are sexually aroused by seeing someones eyes. It is not a small or fringe group. There is another even larger group that are aroused by feet. What are we to do about the feet pictures and videos?

There is a sub-group among them that are further aroused by sharing pictures of child feet on facebook. Something about doing that in public makes it more exciting for them.
I used to hate notched displays but then I saw the argument that it's really stretching the screen into the bezel rather than cutting away at screen space and it makes a lot more sense. Sure, it doesn't make sense for all phones and I'd rather a bezel on a cheaper phone if it reduced cost, however, on a high end phone I think it kinda makes sense. It can give you more screen space by allowing you to have your clock and status indicators in what would otherwise be the bezel, then it makes sense.
https://www.supermicro.com is up however, something break with their redirect?
Very interesting article but the design of that website is rough. I kept looking for a button to expand the article to fill the whole screen.
What if the story is bigger than Bloomberg or anyone else publicly knows at this point? That is, if the government turned over this rock and found something worse.

The US Government could easily find it in its self-interest to make a deal, involving the SEC, on a national security basis, to allow Amazon and Apple to go the denial route with the US Government giving them guarantees regarding fallout.

If it's worse than Bloomberg has reported, it would be highly desirable by the US Government to keep the rest as quiet as possible for as long as possible, to get at as much of what China is doing as possible. They might be running a counter intel program by now that relies on something China was doing.
I really want to use SQL everywhere. I'm sad that they deprecated the WebSQL, and looking forward to the WebAssembly implementations (IIRC there already was a project doing that).
shrug I've done it while on minimum wage. Unions are needed to raise wages, not because it's necessarily hard to move from one low wage job to another. People do it all the time.

The company going out of business is a problem for the employees and is obviously a risk, it's just not a big and existential risk like it is for the owners.
I actually was thinking more about going around regulations by building a solution which wouldn't be targeted by those regulations, in one way or another (outside jurisdiction or innovative product that does something in different way).
Your method (3) is a great way to study, and it's very similar to the "Feynman Technique": https://mattyford.com/blog/2014/1/23/the-feynman-technique-m...

The Feynman Technique is basically alternating between writing a description of a concept on paper from memory, and looking up whatever you couldn't remember.
What you're describing is exactly what GraphQL sets out to solve. Most of the flexibility and declarativeness of SQL, but still sitting a layer above the raw data itself.
So I need to write some code to keep track of which of A or B is running, then something else to template out a nginx configuration to switch between the two. Then I need to figure out how to upgrade the inactive one, test it, flip the port over in nginx, and flip it back if it breaks.

Or

kubectl apply -f app.yaml

I'm 23 and I just started working last year as a software engineer here in London. I don't see myself having a network that allows me to raise $13M in capital.

Taking the longer route to creating a bank while working on something in that direction is really good advice.

One layer, maybe, but should you be able to deploy any type of web server on every OS if you're writing a web app? I'm not so sure.
First of all, it's useful to distinguish two types of roads: those which are controlled-access exclusively for motorized vehicles, and those which are not.

Much of what you're trying to do is impose one-size-fits-all enforcement on both types. Controlled-access roads forbid pedestrians and bicycles, so arguments about protecting pedestrians and bicyclists on those roads fall flat. They should be using 85th-percentile metrics, in combination with the known design speed of the road, to set limits. But because controlled-access roads tend to have higher speeds, they're also the most tempting targets on which to run speed traps (i.e., if you can set a stretch of road to 25mph when the rest of it is 55mph, and park a hidden camera or cop right at the boundary, you can make a lot of money for your municipal budget, and precisely zero dollars of it will have been justified by increased "safety").

For the non-controlled-access roads, most of the real solutions the strongtowns/walkable/bikable/etc. movements want are going to come down to radically different infrastructure which have nothing whatsoever to do with speed limits. Speed limits are at best a non sequitur there.
