Lego can use a CSR, so you don't need to send private keys anywhere.

(Secret keys and private keys aren't the same kind of thing. lyrics to U2's "The Fly" helps me remember, "A Secret is something you tell one other person, so I'm telling you" - somebody else needs to know the _secret_ key for it to work, but nobody at all knows the private key)

A CSR is a signed document which says "I want a certificate for this identity with this public key". The signature proves you know the corresponding private key, but that key isn't transmitted anywhere.

If you're willing to have relatively long lived keys (2-3 years isn't too scary for 2048-bit RSA) you can generate a private key and a CSR once, and have Lego or similar CSR-capable software obtain certificates from Let's Encrypt every couple of months with that CSR.

The human lifespan was only “far, far shorter” because of infant mortality and childhood disease. The overwhelming increase in lifespan gains in this time frame have to do with infants making it to adulthood, not adults becoming elderly.
I have always speculated that animal tracking was the origin of human reading and writing and that the interpretation of an animal's path is a storyline. But I am not alone in this: the idea was put much better by the Kickapoo tracker Famous Shoes in the Larry McMurtry novel "Streets of Laredo" (part of the "Lonesome Dove" series):

"Famous Shoes was given a Bible, in lieu of the little white girl. He would have rather had the girl but he took the Bible and he pored over it for years, in his spare time. He had never seen tracks as strange as the tracks in his Bible. After much study he could see that the tracks were individual, as were the tracks of all animals. Even worms and snails made tracks that were unlike those of other creatures."

Famous Shoes strong desire to learn to follow the tracks in books surfaces a number of times in McMurtry's novels.

There is no Wikipedia link for Famous Shoes, my favorite character from the "Lonesome Dove" series.
There is an obvious technical solution that is IMO far superior: get all the browsers to support CA certificates that are scoped to a particular domain and its subdomains. Then get your organization one of these CA certs (which is no more dangerous than a wildcard certificate) and issue your own subdomain certificates.

Sadly, I don’t think any browsers support such a thing.

You're a western pilot. Polynesians had none of that.

Here is the essence of how Polynesians navigated. Lie on your back in the canoe. Pay attention to the main swell. During the day, use the swell to keep a straight direction. During the night use the points where specific stars rise and set to be sure you're still going in the right direction. When you get close to the target island, you know that by a variety of signals ranging from the movements of birds that nest on that island, to the waves bouncing back from the swell hitting the island. These make it OK to miss your target by a bit, you'll find it and still be able to steer towards it.

Note what is missing. No latitude. No longitude. No time source. No GPS. No instruments. And yes, the whole thing is done lying on your back.

For Polynesians, navigation was spiritual. Ranging from being able to keep yourself in a trance to keep from losing track, to the stories you told yourself to remember what each star told you about where you were going, to years of guild training.

I learned about this back in university. Included was a comparison of the safety record for sea voyages in the South Pacific conducted by western ships with western navigation and Polynesians during the 1950s and 1960s. The Polynesians did better.
With great wealth comes great inequality: for the most part, California condenses all the extreme parts of the U.S. economy into one state. Unless California invests more in its public utilities (or anything that allows for an even playing field), economic inequality in a high economic region should be expected.
Came here to say the same thing. I used the KeyOne and now the Key2 and I can't imagine going back to software keyboards.
Small world! Looking forward to your talk at Localhost!
Thanks. It's just a sticky subject matter, intellectually, so people feel better dismissing all of it.

"Men show their character in nothing more clearly than by what they think laughable." -Goethe

The irony for me is that I too used to think it was all nonsense, until I started doing the meditation. It's much harder to dismiss when you start to experience a litany of things you can't explain.
And that sucks, because videos are good as an augmentation to pages like this, but sometimes you just want a step-by-step on how to do things without fooling around rewinding over and over. Plus, no "make sure to like and subscribe" or "hey guys!!" in this page.
I'm not sure if you really mean "designed". Some people literally believe that to be true. If that's what you meant, then my useful contribution to the conversation will end here :-). If not, and you mean "evolved", then evolution does not necessarily select for a global maximum. It's very likely that instead of "best", you will get "good enough". If it's enough to cause you not to die, then that's fine, generally.

Here's an example. If you get some baker's yeast an put it in sugar water and then add a little bit of salt, most of the yeast will not die. However, it will struggle. If you maintain that yeast, in your lifetime it will likely not adapt to the salt, but neither will it grow well. There are yeasts that are adapted to salt, so if they happen to get in there, they will take over. However, if they are not around, the baker's yeast that is struggling there may never adapt to the salt. The mutations that would provide salt adaptation are not guaranteed. It may continue to struggle for aeons. It would be silly to say that it's OK to add salt to the yeast simply because it has lived for a long time in a salty environment. The salt is still bad for it.

Just to be clear, just because we evolved in an environment that contains something does not mean that our bodies evolved to handle that problem efficiently. It just wasn't bad enough to kill us off. Similarly (because I see this with diet conversations all the time), the fact that our diet was one way a long time ago, does not in itself suggest that this is a healthy diet. It just means that it wasn't bad enough to kill us off.

You want to see what happens without HFT. Look at the crash in 89, when human market makers would no longer answer their phones because they did not know what was going on in the market.

Instead of the crash recovering in minutes, it took hours and had larger widespread effects.

Furthermore, exchanges have now added automatic pauses in trading during highly volatile times, to let traders figure out what is going on.

The markets are objectively more stable, more efficient, and tighter, and better for the general public now with HFTs than they were in the 80s and 90s with human market makers/brokers.

Video games for me too. Had to know how they are made. I was fortunate to get to work in the games industry for 7 years and outside of that I've made my own. If it weren't for games, I'm not sure what I'd be doing now.
One way to look at it is that law enforcement people are trained in what evidence is admissible and what isn't, so they understand and have an incentive to follow proper procedures. But this can become self-fulfilling if people give law enforcement unlimited benefit of the doubt, allowing abuses to happen unchecked.
I just submit anything I happen across that I find interesting. In this case, my trombone's slide is very sticky and I was googling around to see if there was anything I could do myself to fix it.

Correct.

One of the first great truly world power, between the 6th and 11th century, was a port in Indonesia (surprisingly). After that, Europe took the lead, with Bruges, Venice, Anvers, Genoa, Amsterdam, London. US came after that with Boston, New York, California. Asia is now taking the lead again.

The sea is a powerful ideology in itself. It brings you new goods, new ideas, change, desire to welcome strangers. It's also the place of nomadism, which was the normal way of living in almost all of human history.

How do you produce "new" stuff ? By connecting "old" stuff in a "new" way. That's exactly what ports do, and that's probably why so many great empires emerged from them.
So we need to put more effort into building effective mass transportation to help the populace achieve this goal right? I mean I agree, I visited London and want the US to have an equivalent mass transit system, in most of the US you cannot find work if you don't have a car. These are hard things to modify at the individual level though.
Bah! The whining of electric yard tools is no better. If you don't have a hill just get a tradition reel mower. Instead of a weedwhacker get a scythe. Instead of a leaf blower, buy a rake. Healthiest lawn tools on the market!
While Stalin certainly bis one of the greatest mass murderers in history, it should be noted that concentration camps, summary executions, mass reprisals etc. etc. where pioneered by Lenin who did not even shy away from calling them such. Whether Stalin offed him, or complications of syphilis were sufficient, had he lived longer it is unlikely that the death toll would have been significantly different.
I don't know how I feel about bans like this that also ban stopgap solutions.

Agreed. While the secrecy of IPs should never be relied on as a security mechanism, keeping them secret can force the attacker to use a scan, which can trigger IDS and tip their hand. If the attack is going through a proxy host (a vulnerable app server proxying an attack at the database for example), an unknown DB IP address could make the attack infeasible.
Those kinds of penalties and worse don't stop organized crime, for instance.

Politicians also tend to do all sorts of crazy, risky and/or illegal things to get elected or for personal profit. Nixon and Trump spring readily to mind.

If the reward is large enough, someone will risk it. Sometimes the reward doesn't even have to be large at all -- witness rich celebrities shoplifting, for instance.

People can also be compromised and blackmailed in to committing crimes, or otherwise feel desperate and at the end of their ropes, so they'll try anything.

That's to say that such laws shouldn't be made, but I am skeptical that they'll be enough.
Even if we're speaking just in economic terms, the value of saving a life or the cost of not saving it is lot more complex than their total potential earnings. Failure to take that into account would be the mispricing in this scenario.
This is a mostly meaningless semantic distinction. I can ask you to give a
synonym for "king" and you might suggest ruler, lord, or monarch. I can ask a
word2vec model for a synonym for "king" and it will provide similar
suggestions. What "understanding" of the words' meanings do you have that the
model lacks? Be specific!

Why do you need to admonish me to be specific?

word2vec can only represent meaning by mapping words to other words. I have
a human understanding of language that goes well beyond that. For example, I
don't need to limit myself to synonyms of king- I can use circumlocution: "a
king is the hereditary monarch leading a monarchist nation". word2vec can tell
you which of those words are close to king, in its model, but it can't put
together this simple sentence that describes their relation.

Not to mention I can generate and recognise who knows how many more representations
of the concept "king" than word2vec can. I can draw you a cartoon of a king,
or rather, an unlimited number of them, each different than the other. I can
sing you a song about kings. I can write you a poem. I can dance you an
interpretive dance about kings.

I don't know if you really think that word2vec is really as good as a human at representing meaning, but, just in case: it's not even close.

>> Again, who cares? If it passes a relevant "turing test", what does your quibble about the internal representation not being meaningful enough to you matter? Clearly there's an internal representation that's powerful enough to be useful. Just because you can't understand it at first glance doesn't make it not real.

What is that internal representation?
Yeah, I thought that too. I feel like they're charging a lot less than what their labour, expertise and tools really should be worth; but presumably the price is set there because that's what the market will bear and/or that's what their competitors charge.
Uh, being fast is not easy nor cheap.

And once you are fast, you have to stay fast. Remaining fast is not easy or cheap either.

Sure, if you have the part that’s really hard to get right, making money is then really easy.

Game was too frustrating, but hey changing this easy to understand rules.ini file completely changes it to my favour!

But seriously, it was my first introduction to "programming" and then got me into QBasic via "Complete Idiots Guide to Programming" which I borrowed from the local library. I was also super into Aerospace and this book [1] also from the local library gave me background into computer hardware.

Expected to see Rust's approach mentioned since it occupies an interesting point in the design space, i.e., automatic memory management where lifetimes are (mostly) determined at compile-time vs. at run-time (RC and/or GC).

Especially in the case of my hands, whatever is on my hands is likely to end up in my mouth eventually. Doubly true for infants. If you’ve ever given an infant a bath, you know that a significant amount of water ends up in their mouth one way or another.
Reducing and reusing do not rely on external factors. You can do that yourself right now and it’s completely within your control.
Exactly. My point in making the initial comment was not to defend China, but simply to attempt to prevent the knee-jerk "America has great institutions" jingoism that is such a common reaction to stories about corruption in foreign governments.

But as can be seen from my comment being brutally down voted, the force of jingoism is very strong.
Hi there!

I’m two years in as a cofounder. We have one full time employee beyond me and my business partner. We raised under a million in a pre seed round.

Prepare for what will feel like whiplash when it comes to the product. At this stage, you’re trying to find product market fit within the market you’ve chosen. The idea the founders pitched to you and their investors is likely not where you’ll end up, and that’s ok! Just don’t misinterpret agility for stupidity or lack of vision. Running a business is really hard, and getting other people to buy what you are selling will be wavy and confusing.

As an engineer, invest in things that speed up your process. If you deploy often, make sure your deployment process is optimized. If you need hyper reliable software, spend time investing in testability, test documentation, etc.

Spend a lot of time mentally preparing that what you build will get thrown away, but that’s not a bad thing.

Realize that productivity is cyclical, and you when you’re most productive, block off your time. When you’re less productive, try to tackle low hanging fruit or bang out small tasks that are nagging you or your customers.

Get a therapist if you find yourself stressed or anxious. Talk therapy can help you stay on track.

You’ll likely work a lot of nights and weekends, but carve out time for yourself when you can.

Thank any significant others for giving you the space you need to be productive.

Add a hobby that will force you not to work for an hour each day (we added an 8 week old lab puppy I’ve been training for the last year).

Get sufficient sleep every night.

Realize you’ll disagree with decisions that are made, but learn how to trust those around you when they’ve been empowered to make a decision. It’s ok if they’re wrong, and it’s ok if you would have been right. You’ll make mistakes to, and that’s just part of life.

I could honestly keep going for an hour :) starting a startup is really hard!
Power density for batteries has been changing immensely, especially at the consumer level.

There are products now where you could easily get through a work day by swapping out for a charged battery two or three times. The extra batteries are a bit of a cost, but in a professional context could pay for themselves with saved gasoline.
Not sure I buy that it would be too heavy, especially in the case of the backpack models.
This list is meaningless without accounting for the number of aircraft & the number of miles they have flown. For example, the 737 is not only the world's most popular commercial airliner, it's simultaneously the "most dangerous plane" because it has had 145 accidents [1] and one of the safest planes because the 737 NG variant has only had one crash in 16,047,900 flight hours. [2]

[2] http://www.travelvivi.com/the-safest-aircrafts-in-the-world/

And indeed, the 787, 747-8, A350 and arguably the A380 are all new planes that have not accumulated the decades of flight history with huge fleets that the 737 has.
While I like dark mode (for some applications) it amazes me how so much product development and press has gone into X now has dark mode in feature releases. Glad ionic is making this much easier, so it's everywhere by default.

> This is baseless and useless. I've discussed this online in several situations, including on hacker news. If you really want to check this feel free to see my comment history here and on reddit.

Feel free to point out where you previously discussed receipt freeness. And if you did, then why didn't you mention it in your comment, which gives the false impression that any verifiable voting system cannot be receipt free?

> The kinds of attacks you'd use against them are not to break the crypto. They're to break the usage of the system by common citizens and eliminate all trust from the election.

You're going to have to be more specific about what you mean.

> the process has to at the same time avoid leaking who you're voting for

This is called receipt freeness, which we just discussed.

> provide accurate counts

This is called universal verifiability, which is also perfectly attainable by e-voting systems.

> be trusted by the average citizen

You've provided no reason to think that citizens will never trust e-voting systems. The very article of this thread provides a counterexample, and it's not even the most secure.

> Those properties are simply not possible

This is just flat-out wrong. It is perfectly possible to have all of the above properties simultaneously.
I understand where you're coming from, but I do not intend to imply that the US or the bay area in particular are not a nice place to live. If anything, I'd find it hard to adapt to most other places, having had some of my prior personal positions jolted by points of view that I hadn't ever considered. Most people are I interact with are lovely and open minded. The scars of institutional racism are very noticeable and are uncomfortable to me, and it makes it hard to comment on some subjects when presenting a perspective that to you might look obvious (due to having seen alternatives) that go counter to the general accepted "narrative". Living in the US has been very rewarding and a good experience overall, to the point where I'd say it's the place I'd like to stay in, but no place is without trade-offs.
Reduce is fine to a point, but populations are increasing faster than any policy of reduction can keep up with. Reuse is scalable, but is being completely ignored in our current disposable consumerism environment.

There is almost no focus on reuse in the US. If you want to get groceries, you don't take a container to fill, you buy your food wastefully prepackaged. Fast food restaurants don't give you a plate and glass, they give you disposable wrapping and a plastic cup. Even clothes are meant to be disposable - most people don't repair their shoes, they just throw them out and buy new ones.

I don't see this mentality changing any time soon, and it's really sad. We should start changing companies for the disposal costs of their products and packaging, rather than hiding the cost in environmental damage.

Thank you for this, that's really great! You are totally right: between the full article and the (often over-hyped) title, there is a sweet spot for a short, high signal-to-noise summary. Even the abstract is often too verbose or omit some important shortcomings of the article.

In some subreddits, users receive a lot of karma to do things similar to what you are doing. Usually making:

- a summary of the finding (the abstract in one sentence)
- a summary of the methodology (which often tells if a study is solid or not)
- context to understand if this is a breakthrough, an interesting but unpractical effect, a potentially misleading discovery

These are especially precious in environmental or medical research where one study may seem to say totally different things based on the overall context.
huh. Seems both tasty and healthy. Well done.
