These low bandwidth / low power modes are mathemagic, extracting signals that are well below the noise floor. Redundancy, forward error correction, and low baud rates are the key.

In morse, the baud rate is low, but you get one chance at each symbol and that is it. With these new modes a small set of bits is sent in a highly redundant fashion such that you can recover the whole message even if you capture only, say, 30% of the bits, not necessarily contiguous.
I don't believe that's a security concern that motivates entire new protocols; further, I think it's one of those security issues that is talked about more than it is actually felt. So far as I know, none of the HIBP datasets have come from logs? I'd be interested in corrections.

The "real" issue PAKEs address is long-term compromise, where an attacker can observe passwords out of memory. For that matter: for attackers to get log files in the first place, 9 times out of 10 they had to get RCE somewhere in prod, and that is already game over. And, there's a lot of things you'd do first do address game-over than replacing your TLS login POST with a PAKE handshake.
At this point I don't think Apple is lying or the Bloomberg story is accurate, but I do think that some hypothetical coercion of Apple would be much much much less problematic than the government literally forcing a press organization to publish false information.
Ask HN: How can I add my own search engine to my browser?
Let's say I created my own search engine. How do I add it to Chrome, Firefox and Safari? Is there an API it should expose? Some special markup in the HTML results? Anything else I should know?
The problem with certificates is that A) it requires the user to install them on every device B) they are required to be installed on every device C) they are a bitch to manage and distribute and D) protection around certificates is fairly weak and any client compromise will lead to the exposure of all credentials.

You also end up delegating the authentication to your transport layer which is never that good of an idea.
I am a moderate conservative. I believe in self-reliance, fiscal responsibility, limited government. But receiving a death sentence like this one, physically and financially, is something I believe society could easily work together to create a parachute for.

It seems reasonable to me that not all healthcare should be covered by the government. Individuals need skin in the game for their own care. But catastrophic, life-ending diseases like cancer are a public crisis that every single one of us has been affected by in some way.

If there's a reason for government intervention of some kind, it's that.

Right, but wouldn't that contract be very strange if it only applied to crimes that I went to jail for? Wouldn't that create a perverse incentive to get arrested for something if you want the thing to be forgotten? Or are we forced to not talk about ANYTHING bad that happened more than x number of years ago? Wouldn't that create a strange world where we create this illusion that everything was perfect x+1 years ago?

The idea of the law saying we have to deny facts that are unpleasant to some people sounds like a distopia to me.

I mean, yes, we can imagine that reality. Many countries do this, and punish people for talking about events that occurred but were embarrassing for the country or specific people. They are not healthy societies.

Interesting. What's the bottleneck for HDFS, is it that the namenode has high latency under load?
On one hand I agree for "truly multithreaded workloads" - on the other hand having strong single-threaded performance is still a nice feature to have (e.g. when writing prototypes or simply when using simple SW).

I did evaluate about 2 months ago if to go for a 2700X or the usual Intel, and based on the benchmarks I saw, the 2700X is still a bit too weak when running single-threaded SW => I then bought an i7-8700 (no "k") just to be "safe" when running semi-single threaded SW (e.g. my current prototype uses 10 threads but has a single coordination bottleneck).

Using AVX instructions clocks down your CPU by a lot, though. It isn't usually worth it unless you're running mostly AVX.
I'm always happy to see more Twilio alternatives. We get a very large number of errors from the Twilio messaging API (including weird stuff like SSL errors), and it does still seem very expensive. Hopefully more viable competitors will give us better options to explore.
> My best guess is that American publishers don't think that Americans will understand such sophisticated humor.

I must admit I too feel as tempted as always to go "dense Americans and their superhero comics", but here the reason is probably simply that a big part of the humour is done by poking fun of European national stereotypes, and also regional stereotypes of France. None of that translates really well to an American audience.
There's a few other research projects based on the same concept of a distributed log and an explicit sequencer such as Corfu: https://github.com/CorfuDB/CorfuDB

As far as why it's not more prevalent, all of this research is work from the last decade or less, and it takes a long time to develop a database ready for production use.
Yep, there are plenty of outlying areas in LA that are still not expensive in the same way SF is - LA is just much, much bigger. So you can hang on with significantly less money. Still, it's an interesting question.
One place where PAKEs are widely deployed is in enterprise wifi networks that use PEAP/MSChapV2 password auth. MSChapV2 is really terrible and basically requires you to store passwords with weak hashes (or in cleartext).

Its nice to hear that there are PAKEs that are not tied to specific password hashing functions.
And your comment, instead, is incredibly helpful for me, because it saved me a few minutes of my life.

> it takes only a few clock cycles for an Intel CPU to transfer data from its RAX register -> AVX vector registers, compute the solution, and transfer it back to the "scalar world".

unfortunately, it takes millions of cycles for the CPU to switch to the higher-power state necessary for AVX instructions, so your latency really isn't that much better.

If you create benefits for the homeless, you get more homeless. Homeless people are surprisingly mobile. So thinking anything like this will fix a local homelessness problem is a fallacy; once every homeless person in the Bay Area is housed, you have just as many if not more homeless people showing up in SF with their hands out. You either have to solve the problem nationally or drive homeless people out.

That said, if you have to choose a part of the country as the designated homelessness magnet, at least pick someplace with cheap land and cost-efficient transport in and out. Eventually you’ll have a national hub for substance abuse treatment and unskilled labor, unless it gets so dreary that people would rather be homeless in SF than live in a home there.

Not sure why.
still be easier to understand and reason about than the latter because the former was designed to be easy to understand.

All those things you mentioned: clean separation of concerns, standard libraries, etc, are only easier to understand if you already know about them. If you have no clue what a standard library is, what it does, or how it fits in the design, then you're faced with more complexity to understand than a code which implements everything from scratch.
My representation is countable, but not because of the fact it uses the algebraic term 'r * r' in its definition of sqrt(2).

My representation is based on dedekind cuts, implemented in Haskell, which is based on the lambda calculus. There are countably many lamdda terms. Thus, I can only represent countably many real numbers. My representation can store all the computable numbers, but there are computable numbers that are not algebraic.

For example, e is not algebraic, but it is computable. Here is a representation of e

factorials :: Rational
factorials = 1:zipWith (*) [1..] factorials

eApproxes :: [Rational]
eApproxes = scanl (+) 0 (map recip factorials)

e :: Rational
e = Rational (\r -> any (r <) eApproxes)

I never got those "economic perspectives". As a salaried employee, the marginal value I can get from spending an extra hour at work is $0 (well, I may get a bit of good will). Finding a side gig of 2-3 hours is also practically impossible - you'll probably spend that much just finding it. So unless you're self-employed, you're probably better off (financially) by doing it yourself.
His rebuttal to the "IQ has fat tails" argument isn't very convincing. He's arguing that IQ should be defined as your percentile rank converted into a numeric score based on a Gaussian of mean 100 and stddev 15, but then goes on to say that yes, the results of most IQ tests will deviate from that Gaussian in the extremes, but that's because the tests are inaccurate, and will have whatever distribution the test-makers give them (which is probably not Gaussian).

However, a definition that differs from basically every empirical measurement of that quantity isn't a very good definition! That's like defining pi as 22/7 or the fine structure constant as 1/137 because it makes the math easier. Sure, that's true, and it makes it easier to explain to laypeople...but you're going to have problems when you try to predict or draw conclusions about the results of any experiments. Same with IQ - you can define it as the percentile rank converted to a scale with 100 as the mean and 15 as the stddev, but if that yields the prediction that children with a 175 IQ (5 stddev) are going to be 1 in 2 million while the observed frequency on say a Stanford Binet L-M is 1 in 10,000, you're going to draw drastically erroneous conclusions. (In practice the WISC3 and Stanford-Binet 5th ed aren't very useful for highly-gifted children anyway, because they ceiling out around 140 IQ, and basically all IQs over that are estimated with either the Binet L-M or early administration of the SATs.)

«Christopher Wray, in a congressional hearing, said "be careful what you read"»

Like philwelch mentioned, the FBI has a policy of never publicly commenting on ongoing investigations. Wray's statement—extremely vague and neither confirming nor denying the story—thus implies there is an ongoing investigation... Hmm.
I don't know what level you're at, but my experience (from both sides of the hiring process) is that the market is completely saturated for junior engineers. Many companies are primarily/exclusively hiring seniors, and the market there is still _very_ demand-heavy.

Beyond that, the usual stuff applies: you'll have an easier time if you have name-brand schools/companies/open-source projects on your resume, or if you have connections inside the company.
I remember how the last one is translated to Portuguese (Romance language so an easier time, but still by no means a walk in the park)! It makes a pun of the word "fino", which can mean "posh, usually refers to someone trying really hard to look respectable" (which is what the chief is recurringly obsessed with w/ respect to his shield-bearers), and can also mean "a 33cl draught of beer" (same as the second meaning in the original French text).

From the the linked post in the article (https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-overestimated-key-vide...):

> Ad buying agency Publicis Media was told by Facebook that the earlier counting method likely overestimated average time spent watching videos by between 60% and 80%, according to a late August letter Publicis Media sent to clients that was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

From the FB post (https://www.facebook.com/business/news/facebook-video-metric...):

> The metric should have reflected the total time spent watching a video divided by the total number of people who played the video. But it didn’t – it reflected the total time spent watching a video divided by only the number of “views” of a video [...].

How does this work?
Sounds like a good reason to get it for the people who still use it.
i don’t know a lot of database that you can share between any number of parties with write priviledges and yet be sure none of them can destroy, alter, falsify data or even make them unavailable , and which you don’t even need to host yourself.

Well, mine both can and does because the utility makes it worth while. Your original claim was "all". Generally this problem is easily solved by adjusting pricing to encourage the desired charge times. Certainly there may be a few holdouts who don't take advantage, but a few is not a problem.
Your profit should always cover your customer acquisition cost. If it does, congratulations keep spending and grow the customer base and start scaling. If it doesn't, refine your business model and keep iterating until it does. It should never be a catch-22 really unless you're doing it wrong.

A simple, medium like python blogging package. Made for self hosting
A simple, medium like python blogging package. Made for self hosting.

Now it works. Called it medium.py . stupid name, I know. check it out it's not finished but working, stable and really fluent...

The site is a live Demo where you can actually login (admin/nimda) and edit the articles (except for the main article).

If you like it you can easily host it yourself. Just clone the repo (any star is appreciated ;) and run the server ..

I use this for my own page and like it so much that I want to share it ... It's more a bundling of many existing great tools out there.

Especially nice is the fluent image upload (online inline.. click on the (+)) and cope&paste code highlighting ..

This is the idea:

Medium like means that it mimics the style, UX, usabilty like inline editing ... Package means using the great stuff out there like mediumish theme from wowthemes. The wonderful medium-editor which gives you the capability to edit the articles inline. The backend is served by PythonOnWheels. The superb tinyDB is used as a small simple, local file based NoSQL python DB.
You are being disingenuously pedantic by making a distinction between synonymous words. From the linked document:

"Уже с конца сентября ЦК партии большевиков решил мобилизовать все силы партии для организации успешного восстания. В этих целях ЦК решил организовать Военно-революционный комитет в Питере"

Which translates to:

"From the end of September, the central committee of the bolshevik party decided to mobilize all party forces for the organization of a successful uprising. To these ends, the central committee decided to organize a Military-revolutionary committee in St. Petersburg"

Also note the reference to the counter-revolutionary plot. For Stalin, the October coup was clearly the continuation of the February revolution.
That's funny; none of mine are.
Apple Music also has a player SDK via MusicKit if I understand it correctly. Some people already build third party players and web interfaces.
If Apple is proven wrong, will they have to retreat from the rapacious anti-consumer design and pricing decisions of recent years? If so - wishful thinking, I know ... - I’m hoping they get btfo by Bloomberg.
That's a really great point! That's a good third option I didn't really properly consider: Perhaps this is the intended means of propagating this information into actions across the industry, in which case Bloomberg definitely did nothing wrong here.

In college (90s) we had an ACM student chapter with an office that had several different workstations: Sun, AIX, even an SGI. Of course the beefiest computers with the best graphics were the most popular and first to be claimed on any day. But there was also a 9600-baud terminal that could be used to telnet into any remote host. So I got better at coding with vi and screen and I almost always had a place to code because that terminal was almost always available :)
Setting up your server for IPv6
You will note that I mentioned both hardware and software components of the smartphone. If you have no idea where one starts and another ends, then all you see is electrons running around in circles, both in a brain, and in a smartphone. Most mobile CPU designers would have a hard time debugging iOS apps, and most iOS devs would have a hard time debugging Apple A12 design. This, however, does not mean that fundamental principles which make a smartphone "smart" are hard to understand: concept of a stored program, high level programming language commands, user interface, etc. But these fundamental principles are buried behind massive design complexities which might not be directly related to the "intelligence" aspect of the phone (computer). I suspect (hope) this also applies to brains.
Angular 7 release announcement (Angular blog)
They explain that a "view" is when the user watches the video for more than 3 seconds.

View time is probably highly heavily skewed towards plays that last less than 3 seconds. (also because facebook autoplays videos without any pause time)

If 60% of viewers play the video for 0-3 seconds, and only 40% view the rest of the video, you're grossly overstation the average view time.

Removing users with less than 3 seconds seems 100% intentional (to avoid exposing the fact that most viewers are not really viewers, they immediately dismiss the video), not an error.
