"More and more academic scientific research is the author taking previous research, adding a spin to it, and claiming it's...new"

This describes the vast majority of academic publications both today and a few decades ago. It might not be worthy of spotlight, but there is certainly a place for it in academia.

This describes probably half of the research or talks I've seen presented from the infosec industry.

Go to infosec meetups like Empire Hacking (the Trail of Bits meetup) and this will be almost every talk without exception.

It's an industry that runs on social capital and people have to do anything to get their name out there. Fortunately there is still good work being done.

Mountain climbers in the US typically also use feet for elevation. Compasses sold in the US also have different markings for measuring the Universal Transverse Mercator grid(1:24,000 and 1:50,000 in the US) and rulers(inches, feet). 1:24,000 is used on USGS 7.5-minute maps, and I believe 1:50,000 originates from an older map series, both of which have topographical lines marked in feet instead of meters. Altimeters sold in the US also customarily use feet although the digital ones can be switched to Meters.
I don't understand this line of thinking. If the game was as broken as you say this close to release, and they knew full well about it, why not delay it by a few weeks and incorporate this patch into the master!?

I recently toured for 5 months in the US on my bicycle. My average cost was $30 per day. That included sightseeing, an airline ticket every month and a bus ticket every month. I used Warm Showers and wild camping, so I rarely paid for housing. $7.25 per hour is enough to live on. You just need to work enough hours, do long commutes and be very, very disciplined in all your purchases.
The Chinese Government is suppressing free speech regarding Tibet, Taiwan, Uyghurs, corruption, forced displacement and plenty of other socially relevant topics. And just as it takes two to tango it takes two to suppress free speech. One party to suppress (in this case literally as there is just one) and another to effectively obey - that's the Chinese society pretty much in its entirety. That means Chinese society is effectively brought into line.

So from that perspective I don't understand why 'natch' is receiving so much protest here. Totalitarian regimes are as easy to predict as a linear function and the Chinese "government" is totalitarian. The goal is to maximize power by all means necessary and - to err on the side of caution - also all means available and obtainable.

Humanitarian concerns exclusively play a role in governments and societies where at least some level of democratic processes and transparency can be carried out.

The bottom line is - expect the worst.

I've always been fond of "premature optimisation is the root of all evil" [1], but still... wasting resources makes me feel bad. I feel like the guy that buys 10 plastic bottles of 0.5l water instead of 2x2.5 litres.

The application of Dembski's ideas is a much more difficult subject, and not one I have enough expertise in to comment, at least in the biological realm. But, the fact that DNA is highly compressible, as you point out, would indicate it is at least not due to a random process.

The article is meant to point out the overall framework is valid within standard information theory. It is not a commentary on whether Dembski's work has been correctly applied or not.

I think the goal in evolution is at least to survive and reproduce.
I've never heard of HKDF before but it is really an elegant solution to this. My first guess on how to do this would have been something stupid like split the Authentication token in half and 0 pad it. But this would have significantly reduced the entropy available on both keys, reducing the search space on the authentication token and the encryption key making them much more brute force able. HKDF instead expands the key and essentially requires the server to be able to reverse HMAC-Hash to find the encryption key from the the authentication token.

What I'm confused about is that they seem to be using HKDF as a hash [1] and not as a key generation funciton. I think this is just as secure as what I was expecting but it seems more complicated and doesn't jive with the purpose of the RCA[2] as I read it.

Read the article and the links he provided, he touches a little upon why people are homeless. There are numerous causes, including mental illness like schizophrenia, financial woes, losing your housing unexpectedly, losing your job unexpectedly, as well as the scourge of drug addiction. Suffice to say, there are MANY reasons, and your pointing to the "high minimum wage" (you call 7.25 per hour high??) is not sensible or squared with my own knowledge.

One common myth you're expounding here is that homeless = jobless. The reality is housing is very pricey in many cities, and the minimum wage may actually be too low, not too high. A friend working for a homeless non-profit told me nearly 50% of the homeless in my state have employment.
That's a different company!
The subtitle is misleading, as hyperloglogs are excellent for intersections. HyperMinHash claims to have some asymptotically superior behavior by mixing concepts from HyperLogLogs and MinHash.

The claim was that it gave you the option of using your required travel time for something else, if you want, like you can do on a bus, train, or plane today.

The idea is there shouldn't be much difference in both. One same as the other.

It's funny how much the Xbox One team anticipated this, and tried to move to that model, but got so much flak they gave up. People seem to like their ownership Totems (discs) that they can continue to sell to Pawn Shops (Gamestop) for pennies on the dollar of the original purchase price.

It's okay to me that the nice decorative card rack keeps growing, right next to the Totem shelves in most stores. If I'm going to download the whole thing anyway, I might as well not waste shelf space in my home on the Totem.
> The card is increasingly linked by the government to subsidized food, health and other social programs most Venezuelans rely on to survive.

I really don't understand how Venezuelans haven't revolted and given up on their failed socialist economic experiment. Typically lack of food has been the spark that starts these revolutions, but the failure of even basic services there has been going on for years now. How much more authoritarianism without any economic gain can these people take?

Are enough regular people really getting enough handouts from the government to not want to get rid of them? Is the propoganda machine working that effectively to blind them?

It's always amazed me how downright inefficient patching is, even though better algorithms have existing for literally decades. The typical implementation is that you have to re-download every single resource that's changed, even if the resource is gigabytes large and only a bit in it has changed.

Someone should calculate how many petabytes of Internet transfer capacity are wasted annually solely due to bad algorithms used in performing software updates. It'd be a surprisingly large figure.
It could be both/and instead of either/or. The other angle is we as a society have given up on personal responsibility for each other (i.e. lack of social safety net), and instead look for help from big government, which is notoriously inefficient, corruption prone and scammable.

ALl those with fire damages should think about suing the Sierra Club. For decades the forestry service wanted to trim low growth and have periodic controlled burns (usually in zero wind and medium damp conditions) to clean out the understory growth left by clear and other tree harvesting. The Sierra Club fought this trimming - they wanted a 'natural forest' - get wise, goofs, a natural system uses fire from lightning to do just what happened.
More smaller fires are needed to head off these monster fires.
There are already a lot of homeless people working minimum wage jobs. Check any construction site. What's the point of a job if it can't even put a roof over your head?

What is a successful mobile app I wonder? Some apps are products themselves and some are adjunct to the real product (think airline app) where there is no actual competition at the app level. I would think the patterns might be different for each kind.
True. Single most important factor that brings changes to any publicly traded company direction is revenue growth.
There are a lot of date pickers, however if you have a specific UI and UX to implement, it might not be worth trying wrangle one of them into doing what you need it to do.

There's so many integration points (business logic, i18n/l10n, styling, keyboard navigation, accessibility, etc) that I think it's often easier to write your own. Hopefully now that most browsers support <input type="date" />, we can just use that most of the time.

The question was more about whether the measurement tool provides useful feedback in case of "salty" air. Filtering is a lot of work, and might not be necessary.
Internet transfer capacity is not wasted unless it goes unused (or data transferred caused other data that was needed urgently to be queued). For example, you could say any links not currently near full utilization are going to waste.
Dude, it's a stress test. The only way you can fix it is by... STRESSING it. It's really straight forward of a concept. That means lots of people doing lots of little things. You can't find these bugs without lots of people doing lots of things WRONG.

It's basic dev 101. Your user is stupid and will do everyone wrong. It's flat out amazing when you stand behind someone that uses a bit of software you built, took the time to make everything as straight forward as possible. But they find how to break it in crazy ways.
> So therefore it is strictly less secure in the optimal case, and it is no more secure in the sub-optimal case. So security really isn't a strong argument

I agree. I was arguing for having some form of e2e encryption (like Firefox currently has) as opposed to not having e2e encryption. I wanted to argue against the idea that, because the e2e was implemented in JS, one might as well not have it.

Then, regarding the gap between e2e in JS vs e2e in binary, my point was that JS is just as good in most cases.

> Most distributions disable auto-upgrade in Firefox, for many reasons (security and auditability being one of the main ones) so you won't get auto-upgrade from a distribution.

Does that mean that the code is only signed by the package distributor, and not mozzilla? Because in that case, the package manager becomes a single point of failure. Then again, I guess that is always the case.
Still, it would be weird that, as far as mozzilla trust goes, a signed exe from internet is better than a signed package from your preferred package manager.
It is a little more nuanced; the hype is dying (or so the writer believes).
LOL oh only 10 mill within 3 years... that is the holy grail of startups.
It's a little unorthodox to have your week long beta after the game is already pressed to disc, and a week before the game launches.

Also, I agree with you - Their patch tool is pretty terrible..

Perhaps due to the way the game files are packaged up, but unless they edited every model and sound file, you shouldn't need to redownload the whole thing.

Maybe it's due to their DRM? But even rsync can handle better updates :)
From an internet infrastructure/network engineering point of view as well, I'm concerned that US embargoes and trade restrictions are not helping things when it comes to autocratic regimes.

For example if an ISP in an autocratic regime, right now, wants to buy new core, aggregation and edge/customer premises routers, for a major network upgrade, they're going to be looking at ZTE or Huawei. Whereas the better technical solution might be some combination of things from a US company (Cisco, Juniper, Brocade). Or if they already have people who know JunOS on staff for core routing, they'll have to make a business risk decision to buy grey market Juniper through a third party, without any official support.

ZTE and Huawei and other Chinese companies involved in Internet censorship and the GFW are happy to sell equipment and consulting/contracting services to these sorts of countries.
So are they just cutting ties with suppliers that are actively sawing down rainforests? How about suppliers that have already destroyed huge swathes of it but aren't currently expanding their plantations, surely they don't deserve Mondelez's business if this isn't just a PR stunt?
Government is the framework through which we help each other. My tax money goes in, social services should come out. I will not comment on the unfounded generalization ("notoriously inefficient, corruption prone and scammable"). Government is not perfect, but it is not what you describe.
Also this is a great lesson to the younger generation that seem to be wooed by the Ocasio-Cortezes and Sanders of the world. Unfortunately the world needs a reminder every generation or so that socialism doesn't work, it never has worked, and it never will work.
I don't disagree that those are separate businesses. I disagree with how this article presents this information. Every item listed is not a separate business -- most of them are actually different products/departments.

Their chart becomes much less impressive if you distill it down to only independent businesses within Amazon.
We use Twistlock (https://www.twistlock.com/) as it does the CVE scanning but you can setup rules for compliance, binary monitoring and a whole plethora of other security/auditing type things. It also has a jenkins plugin so you can fail builds if a certain threshold of CVEs/compliance failures are introduced by developers (the only way to actually get the team to care about security).

Our security folks haven't really decided what to do with containers although some people are just using RHEL7 base images since its "enterprise-y". Our group personally uses alpine base images. If we have something like a java service hosted by Tomcat, we build alpine then build tomcat and then build our "service" container. While most people are fine pulling from Dockerhub, we do work in closed-loop environments and have a private docker registry where we host our "chain" of docker images which are versioned and updated regularly.
More like the complete version happens to be 50 GB larger than the shipped on-disc data, judging from the 96 GB install size. The maximum size of a Blu-Ray is about 50 GB, so we're hitting the point where games are too big to even fit on a single disc and it's almost just acting as a dongle for the download version.
"Great to see it indeed - but I don't get why now and not earlier. "

There was a story posted earlier this week about orangutan populations on decline due to Cadbury using Palm Oil.

This story made me rather angry, as they are just trying to live and we need to make sure they can.

Could you cite a source for that? India's use of palm oil is at about 15% from what I can find.[0] It's a big number, but not as big as "most" suggests.

Moreover, the same source lists that about 95% is used as edible oil. In a country with high poverty, to claim "sustainability concerns are dismissed as a western luxury" is just a statement of fact. If you don't know where your next meal is coming from, it is hard to care for orangutans dying in another country. This is not an excuse for apathy, it is just human nature.
