You're accusing ProtonMail of being snake oil because people can send unencrypted emails to ProtonMail users? If it didn't allow receiving such emails, it wouldn't be an email service, so it sounds like "encrypted email service" is something that you have made impossible by definition.

Perhaps, rather than focusing on "most communications over email" (which don't involve ProtonMail's users whatsoever), it's more fair to ask whether ProtonMail enables encrypted communications with non-ProtonMail email users, and what threat models it is reasonably secure against.

You're right, though, that there are trade-offs to be made when it comes to using web-delivered JavaScript (although these problems need to be solved at the web platform layer [0], not unilaterally by a single service provider), and ProtonMail do not exactly advertise their security limitations (and nor do any other webmail providers).

There's also been ritual abuse cases that have been proven. For example, Jimmy Savile. To write them all off as "baseless" is disingenuous.

Note that the alleged purpose of ritual abuse is twofold. Trauma based mind control & blackmail to keep the practitioners in line. You can't deny it's effectiveness as a political strategy for criminal syndicates. For example, the "mafia" blackmailed politicians by recording them in compromising sexual encounters. If it's done using prostitutes, why not take it a step further & use children? Children are easier to control, are more "expendable" since they do not have full adult legal status, and the crime is far more heinous. It's been done before...

Looks great, but one concern is lock-in or name hijacking. How do you guarantee that if I buy my domain name with you, it will actually be mine and not yours? This is important if I wish to migrate to a different provider one day without asking all my contacts to change my email address.
Holy shit. I lived in Eastwood for 3 years. My brother was born and raised in that neighborhood and still lives there. My father died of pancreatic cancer. He was one of the first homes bought and built on his street when Eastwood was first being built. His wife suffered from ovarian cancer at one point. I dont know what to say.

Edit: My wife went to high school in Avalon Park for 4 years and lived in that neighborhood for most of her life as well. She also had teenage osteo sarcoma.

> However the hardware can be given hints as to which branch is more likely.

I don't think that is the case for modern (last 8 years or so) Intel processors. For example, I'm under the impression that gcc's __builtin_expect only affects the layout of the generated code. However I'd love to learn something new here; do you have a source or any additional info you could share?
No, we want to encourage people to take good solutions from a domain and to do the work to validate they're good for other domains too. That's non trivial work that needs to be rewarded for it to occur at scale.

Been ditching my business cards for http://clinck.me/ (no affiliation) over these last few years with great success, maybe worth a shot?
You don't do stimulus in a recovery. The Trump administration wants to keep stimulating, keeping rates low and enacting a massive tax cut while deficit spending to the tune of over $900 billion.

Now, normally when there's a recession, revenue drops, automatic stabilizers kick in, and the deficit goes through the roof. But ours is already high now. Normally, in a recession, we cut rates, but rates are already historically low. Normally, in a recession we try to use fiscal policy (cutting taxes, increasing spending) to offset the drop in consumption, but we already enacted a massive tax cut.

So when the recession comes in 2019-2020, what will we have left? We've kept no powder dry.

The government put mid-term elections over fiscal health. They raced through a bunch of policies to make them look good to their voters in the last election, still lost the House, and now we are stuck with the predictable consequences.

It's not like we don't know a recession was coming anyway. If you look at 200 years of NBER data, the average business cycle averages 6-9 years before another recession. Hence recessions in 81, 90, 2000, 2008. We were due for another one anyway and the government should have been planning for this.
The last point is something that in theory could have been achieved (shared runtime) with Java or .NET, but in reality there are real, tangible benefits to shipping self-contained applications, and the disk size argument is just no longer that relevant.

This is in no way an endorsement for Electron, just an aspect common to all platforms that rely on an intermediate runtime that could in principle be shared.
"especially as you mature and people aren't always getting on your nerves so much"

I found that as I got older, people got on my nerves more! The first few times people did something annoying, it was like, "whatever". After the 100th time, it was like "here we go again", and I was getting ready to explode. The only thing I found that helped was avoiding such people, and when you're forced to rub shoulders with them due to work constraints, it can lead to a lot of stress.
These kinds of organizations generally don't exist to have a public impact. They exist to transform individuals.

> Is it a private matter if someone held on trial is the judge's boss in a secret organization they both belong to?

A judge has an obligation to recuse where there's a conflict of interest, regardless of the nature of that conflict. This is not a good argument against private societies, unless you want to start banning any situation that could at some point lead to a conflict of interest.

Great question. We mention it in our ToS that we are happy to transfer the domain whenever you want in case you want to take your business elsewhere.
I think that’s a very cultural thing.

If you need a plumber, in some parts of the world you’d be insane to open up the phone book and call a random one. You would call your cousin who’s friends with one instead. And probably cook them lunch when they come over.

Look at MLMs and which countries and groups they thrive in, vs ones that they would never take off in.
Either they start working towards performance/memory issues or this will very likely go the way of Cordova/PhoneGap. Feature rich, but ultimately forgotten and not used for new projects.
I'm not saying the next recession has to be equally bad.

I'm saying the next recession hasn't even started yet, let alone being nearly finished.
Ask HN: Resources to learn Python/CS from scratch (for data science and ML use)
Hi,
I am an econ and finance major looking to learn CS to diversify my skillset for research and maybe industry. At the very least, I'd like to learn Python for research purposes. Ideally, I'd like to learn ML, AI, etc.

What are the ideal resources (Moocs, books, videos, sites) to go down this path? Other than math, I have little knowledge or experience in CS. (i.e how much pure CS is needed vs applied?)

I know these types of questions have been asked many times, but cannot find a specific guide for my case.

Thanks in advance!
Why is it that people seem to think using a cross-platform UI toolkit like tkinter, kivy, WxWindows, etc. is like putting their hand in a toilet?

Lately I have been building apps with tkinter/python/asyncio and I can't get over how fast the apps are to load and to use. There is none of this "let's not respond to the mouse for 5 seconds" that is staggeringly common on my mac (particularly for apps like Safari and iTunes that come from Apple) nor the "go for a walk around the block" loading times for Java-based apps on my i7 Windows laptop.

True tk apps are ass-ugly but I find it mind-blowing to use GUI apps that are as responsive as Windows 95 apps were back in the day.
A lot of people have had problems with alcohol too and that’s not illegal.

The most recent game I managed that with was Skyrim (years after launch, I think this was maybe 1-2 years ago) but with most other such games (and also Skyrim after a few cumulative hours) I just felt like I was wasting my time.

The hobbyist satellites still have to get licenses to communicate like everyone else. They are usually "dropped off" in low orbits, which are below the ISS and will decay in a few months so there isn't a concern with orbital debris.

That's because it's brand new tech. I assume, that the Chinese, who came up with Arduino boards, that cost USD1.99 will also create knock-offs of these and prices will fall extremley.
One of the “words of wisdom” I filed away years ago was spoken by a guy who at the time was about my age, a middle-aged guy who had been investing for decades. In the early 2000s during during the dot bomb collapse, he said, “a lot of the problem is that younger people haven’t been through a true bear market.”

As you said, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. But the lesson to be learned from us oldsters is, sit tight and buy cheap stocks for your 401K for a while. It’ll come back, it always does, and timing the market is a fool’s errand (DAMHIK). You’re not retiring tomorrow, and if like me it’s coming soon, absolute worst case is it gets put off for a few years.

But losing a year’s worth of gains? Welcome to the stock market, it does that sometimes.
Congrats team, looking great!
I like Electron's features, but I don't like how it runs its own Chromium. I'd really like a small, local server launcher that just runs whatever default browser the user has selected, with a borderless window. No attempt at auto-integrations between client-view and server code, just let me do it like a regular SPA. Bonus points for letting me specify my own server executable, so I can do it in whatever language I want.

EDIT: seriously, it could run its own local server for privileged OS integrations, giving you an IPC API over REST.
Disk size argument no but memory yes. Keeping this massive binary duplicated in memory for every trivially small (memory-wise) app, like Slack, is bananas.
Then my information was incorrect. Thanks for the update.
You'll have to wait until the Quantum/Servo project is much further along.
I agree, also if they don't want to download your files why not at least have some sample images so we can see the file sizes in general
Say it with me: The stock market is NOT the economy.

A recession is a decrease in the GDP of the USA. This means people are LAID OFF, as companies don't have enough money to keep everyone on staff. Because people are laid off, there are fewer people buying stuff, which causes more people to be laid off.

The stock market can go up during a recession. Its a bit unusual, but it isn't unheard of. Usually, the stock market goes down because people start to lean on their emergency savings, and are forced to sell off stocks while they're in between jobs. That, combined with lower profits (from the overall recession) makes people retreat towards safer investments, like Bonds.

But otherwise, the stock market isn't really "the economy". Its just that Americans TEND to sell stocks and buy bonds when they see the signs of a recession. When you're worried about your job prospects, you act differently. When a lot of Americans are worried about their job, you can see it in various indicators.
My understanding is the layout is the hint. Modern CPUs would not want to use cache space for any hints, not to mention all the silicon to decode the hint.

Compiler writers are smart people and can layout code to give the CPU the right hints, so long as they know what the CPU does. CPU manufactures want the compilers writers to do this as the compiler is a significant factor in making one CPU faster than the competition in benchmarks.

Well, rely on hope, if it brings you comfort. Just keep in mind that the big shot bankers are relying on political donations. So I wouldn't put any money on that "Hope" if I were you.

When I left Amazon, this was a single data store with thousands of partitions, hundreds of billions of records, dozens of teams writing functions that ran on it, thousands of data sets, and hundreds of thousands of requests per second being made. Our team had several functions that handless thousands of requests per second. It was a critical piece of infrastructure, for among other things, Amazon retail, Prime, etc.

Sure, there was a team that owned the platform, but that wasn’t us. We were customers akin to AWS customers.

You cannot crack a hash though. It is just a string of fixed length. Nobody says crack a string because it sounds ridiculous.

> Your salt can be totally public if you're using a robust key derivation function.

That is a deliberate strawman. If your salt is based on keys there is still information you aren't exposing even if you are exposing the salt itself.
There's way too many factors to be able to say what the common reason is (if there is any).

You've worked for 'various startups', so obviously you're good enough to be hired by someone. You just need to find the right job.

I'd wager that more than 50% of candidates that get rejected have it happen for reasons completely unrelated to them. Last minute hiring plan changes, an interviewer having a bad day, disorganization, and arbitrary HR hoops can all be valid reasons. Also don't forget that hiring processes vary greatly company to company, and it was way more informal/disorganized than you are imagining in your head.

It's not very clear from your post, but are you making it to on-site interviews? If you are passing phone screens and getting the take-home, but not getting invited to on-sites, you could be punching above your weight a little bit. Try applying for more junior positions and see if you are seeing the same results. If you are making it to on-site interviews but not getting offers, it is either your in-person technical interviewing skills, or more likely, your personal skills.

Practicing technical interviewing skills is easy. Being 'likeable'/passing the 'culture fit' is much harder to nail down and really depends on the company / interviewer.

Four rejections is really not that many in the grand scheme of things. Keep applying, keep interviewing. Ask a friend or find someone online and practice interview them. Try to see things from the other perspective, and pretend that you really are going to give someone an offer. Hiring someone isn't as easy as 'we need someone, and this person can code'.

Also, consider expanding your search outside the bay area. I don't live or work there, but it seems like everything tech is exaggerated there. You are competing at the highest level there, so getting an offer will be harder than other cities.
The problem is when the harmful consequences of that innovation that hits society is much larger than the value of the innovation.

A second, slightly less important problem is that this turns markets into government-sponsored winner takes all, even when the market conditions aren't pushing for that.
The biggest issue by far with every electron based program I've used is actually not the huge memory foot use or the hundreds of megabytes for a simple program, it is the latency of the interface.

Every interaction ends up lagging like molasses, whether it is text input, window resizing, startup time etc.

We have video games that run 3D environments with gigabytes of geometry and textures at 144hz yet people are making simple text editors and interfaces with a dozen simple components (like the ethereum wallet) that run xwindows streamed over a 56.6 modem.
>Ray Dalio wrote a book about the different kind of debt cycles. Just because 2007 was bad, doesn't mean this recession will be equally bad.

Our response to 2007 was functionally just stopping the bleeding and tying a tourniquet. We never actually managed to push through many of the substantive economic reforms we needed, so we're functionally in an even worse position now to address a future contraction.

We didn't replace the steady jobs, we replaced them with contractor and gig work which will fall away much more rapidly if the economy slows down.

The deficit is higher and the tax base is lower, meaning we have less room to do spending programs to give the economy a boost.

We didn't address the massive pile of consumer debt, and we now sit on a $1 Trillion+ student loan bomb coupled with unsustainably high rents and home values in most of the largest job markets. This means much of the working class has limited savings and no cushion for when a crisis hits.

At this point the risks of a recession aren't just losing investment value. We're risking pretty serious cases of social breakdown. I would expect rioting in the streets.
But if 4 journalists were killed in other country would you made same point? I agree "dangerous" is not well defined here , still is a correct fact that US was on top and that compared to other civilized countries in US you can have 1 journalists upsetting 1 person and that causing all persons in the journal building got killed, this could include journalists that did not wrote any "controversial" articles.

So we can debate the meaning of dangerous or if we need 1% of jorunalists to be killed before you consider it a dangerous job but IMO the fact that as a journalists I and my colleagues could get killed with heavy guns because some person is upset is dangerous/risky compared to other countries (maybe compared to US is more dangerous to be a student)
How does this tool keep up with the changes updates in the C++ standards?
I keep buying games thinking I'll have the time and desire to go in deep for some escapism, like the new game rpg game Kingmaker, a game based on the Pathfinder tabletop ruleset. But I just can't bring myself to care much when I have so many responsibilities and cares in RL. So games where I don't need to invest myself get played e.g. Battlefield 1 although just for a few minutes each evening in lieu of tv.
Some humble advice on pitching your startup (2014)
It's inconclusive at this point. If there were tunnels, they could have been filled in with "trash" by the time the ground penetrating radar reading was done.

One possible avenue is to look up land permits & to create a case as to why the trash was filled in (if that's the case). However, this study is somebody's opinion of the readings, so it may not even be a trash pit. Further physical examination would probably be necessary to confirm one way or another, but at this point, it's a cold case.

However, the childrens' testimonies of some sort of underground anomaly is a strange "coincidence". How would they know that there was something out of the ordinary underground, whether it's tunnels or buried trash?

At this point, there are mysteries in this case & a number of possible truths. However, there are known cases of Satanism & ritual abuse. There's even more cases of testimony from different sources. I don't see this as a panic at all, but an acknowledgement of a possibility.
Do they think that? I think more what thing here is that Electron apps are popular with UI developers who want to make the jump from web apps to native apps without taking the time to learn the platforms, or wish to reuse components they use on their web apps.
> AlamoFire

Ah yeah, so AlamoFire is a monstrosity of a library which was originally implemented in Objective C back when iOS's native networking tools were pretty bare bones. I thought it was bloated and overcomplicated then, and it's worse now.

> JSON parsing in swift

This is a solved problem since Swift 4. Now you can declare conformance to Encodable/Decodable protocols on any one of your types, and in many cases the compiler can generate a default implementation of the protocol methods, so that's all it takes to make a type parsable from/serializable to JSON.

What's better, these "Codable" objects work with "Encoader/Decoder" protocols, so you can provide your own JSON parser implementation, or for instance, you could implement a TOML parser which conforms to Decoder, and all your existing Codables would already work with it.

Swift definitely has some warts remaining, but it's gotten a lot better over time, and the upcoming features and priorities seem promising as well.
Yes they get the license like everyone else. That undermines your complaint about how onerous it is. And OSCAR has lifetimes of more then a few months.
Similar with my business email. Had to end up buying a way shorter version because people just can’t spell.
Most email being transmitted on the Internet is in unencrypted form.

Most people are not on ProtonMail and do not have a PGP key published.

If I were to guess, I’d say that 99%+ emails sent or received by ProtonMail customers are seen by ProtonMail’s servers in unencrypted form.

I remember that I got into coding around the age of 13. For me, the trigger was a book on C++, written for adolescents. Thinking about it in retrospective, C++ probably wasn't the best language to get started on, and yet, I devoured that book. So nowadays, beginners books on e.g. Python are probably even more appealing. I also feel that book makes a better present than an equivalent online resource, because it's something physical. Of course, such a book would still require that the 13yr old has access to a computer, in order to actually write code.
