This is absolutely true. We all need to realize that regulations such as European GDPR, Article 13 etc. hurt newcomers a lot more vs. incumbents big players such as Facebook. Facebook will one way or the other nudge/influence/incentivize users to click on that "Agree" button to opt into sharing data with them. However, new players who don't have a surface where users come frequently enough, will be at a loss. And there will be no way they would be able to use growth tactics such as Facebook does to drive opt in.

Please wake up and smell the coffee. Regulations are needed but GDPR is absolutely not the answer.
Making data portable means opening up our systems to Facebook, at least as far as I understand Zuckerberg's proposals.
The same happened to me, I searched my CNAME on github and found that a user was "hijacking" some CNAMEs, pointing these domains to his own repos. This happened to me because I switched from PRO to Free and I didn't notice that the Free plan does not allow us to have a private repository with Github Pages. The end result in my case is that I migrated my blog to Netlify and used Hugo to generate my HTML site from Markdown files. It was very straightforward and I am satisfied with the end result.
Certainly it's possible that the many sources - there were more than a dozen if the reporters are to be believed - were lying. Wouldn't it be fairer to hold that the jury's still out? There's this https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/04/supermicro_bloomber... documenting an attack ("...how the attack played out at Elemental...") . At that same page is a reasonable quote of advice from SANS' director. And another take here https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2018/10/05/making-sense-...
The same is true with a Bill of Rights.

The government does what the government wants. If you're lucky, later a different part of the government will apologize.

A bill of rights may reduce the odds that those enumerated rights are denied to you, but it cannot prevent it.
Southwest Airlines was allowed to fly all of their grounded jets to a facility in Arizona a few weeks after the initial grounding. The FAA allows this as long as there are no passengers on board.
I saw this (in the article):

To get started, you need the following packages:

ykpers (library and tools to program Yubikeys)
yubico-piv-tool (Yubico Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Tool)
pcsc-lite (resource manager for PC/SC)
opensc (set of libraries and utilities to access smart cards)

And the first thing I thought was "sure to be a guaranteed cluster fuck."

Can't there be a better way already? We all know sec is a big deal. Don't we?
The question is how much bootstrapping you need. Synthesizing liquid fuel from atmospheric gases and ocean water, for instance, requires only the bootstrapping necessary to build those facilities. Electrifying automobiles requires replacing all of the automobiles. Upgrading all housing to PassivHaus standards requires approximately enough construction to house over 7 billion people in new homes. Maybe half of that if you exclude people who don't already heat their homes, as well as the approximately tens-to-hundreds of thousands of Scandinavians whose homes already meet these standards.

> Well, yes. As far as immigration goes, the policy of most non-US western countries is primarily merit-based or if you have money to invest in the country. If you aren't educated and productive and you're not a legitimate refugee, why should a country let you in? How does the country benefit?

I make well into six figures as an engineer and cannot make legitimate business trips to Canada even when the company lawyer has appealed for my entry, complete with compiling a report with ample evidence of merit. It is a naive view to think that entry is merit based when I'm being denied entry based solely on the fact that I was once a teenager that was discovered to be around weed once.

> In the case of tourism, it's just about limiting risk of someone overstaying their visa.

Then why do so many performance artists have to cancel Canadian stops when they are not allowed entry? Are they really scared a platinum artist is going to become a drain on their society? That quite obviously has nothing to do with it.
There seems to be an opportunity here for someone to create the "Algo VPN" version of Yubikey SSH.

Or maybe the Teleport people can just make this as painless as possible.

Or for keybase to make it painless. Don't try to support everything. Just start with only supporting Yubikeys. Then you can expand.

You're talking about forwarding the GPG agent, so I was worried that you hadn't found the touch-to-sign setting, but indeed you had.

Do you have a strong opinion on `on` vs `fixed` ? I tell myself that I should use fixed but haven't bitten the bullet yet.

The file containing the code is text. What AST do you mean? Cog doesn't have to understand anything about the structure of the containing file, so it can be used on any text file.
Yep, that's why I like how Consumer Reports has a firm policy of only judging products that were purchased on the same terms as ordinary people.

Theoretically, we have all the measures in place the article described. We do sell our data - simply not for money, but for services, e.g. FB. The digital locker is actually called data privacy rights. Companies do need to ask you directly, in form of the privacy policy when you sign up to the services. The flaws of the current privacy situation lie in the execution in practice. In theory, everything is fine.

I think what many commenters are missing is why this is important.

Invariants like this allow one to prove the correctness of their code. That may not seem like a big deal most of the time, but imagine you're working on a satellite that's going to Jupiter, where a bug in the code could mean 10 years from now a billion dollar project gets scuttled. Imagine you're building subroutines that will go into 10,000 pacemakers next year. Imagine you're writing the navigation logic for a cruise missile.

There are many times where proving your code correct is taken very, very seriously. Invariants are a tool to do so more easily.
Ethical ground is definitely part of the culture but not entirty of it.

Ironically, the interstate highway system exists because it was useful to the Nazis. Eisenhower authorized its construction because as a general in Europe, he saw firsthand how useful the German road network was in quickly deploying troops to wherever they were needed.
Thank you, this looks like a great advancement.

> there might be new classes of attacks that we can't guard against, for the simple reason that they haven't been found yet.

I've also puzzled about this phrase in the article. Why "class of attack haven't been found" necessarily leads to "we can't guard against this class of attack"?

I guess we need more definitions here to clarify what we're talking about... but you're doing that already, so maybe this statement can be made more precise elsewhere?
Any situation like that is one where the influencer will not be trying to get free stuff, but will be selling his/her audience. (At least, given an understanding of the situation.)

What I like about it (I use it) is that it lets me drive code in low-level, somewhat math-incapable languages at compile time. I have a project right now that does real-time signal processing in an FPGA. The actual project itself is organized in Verilog, which is cumbersome to do math raw math in. I use cog in my build to do a bunch of preprocessing math in python. For example, since I use cog to calculate a bunch of constants (for coefficients and the like), I can change the sample rate in one control file and the compilation process will re-do all the math for me.

Which also answers the question of why this is a legitimate subject for antitrust enforcement. It's at least as relevant as, say, drug testing in professional baseball, which Congress has certainly wasted enough time on.
That's more a sign of current distribution models than anything else. 20 years ago it would have been "I want to be a movie star!"
Follow the guide and you will have a spare. You create the keys on a live distro, just to be sure nothing is written to disk. Then write the master keys to an encrypted usb drive that you hide in a safe. After that you write the keys (stripped) to the yubikey.

When you lose the yubikey you import the master keys from the usb drive and all your access is there. Then you revoke the keys and start over.
a + b commutes all right, but some-start-value +a +b ... +x does not necessarily.
What was the problem exactly? I have been using a yubikey for years for this exact purpose without too much hassle. That being said I do use it through GPG agent. I'm not really sure why TFA dislikes this method, I didn't encounter any significant issues setting it up and it means I can use my yubikey for everything that can use GnuPG (signing git commits, encrypting emails, pass...).

Actually there is one pain point: every time I install a new system I have to remember to install the right packages and udev rules to be able to communicate with my yubikey from gnupg as a non-priviledged user.

But once it works it just works and it's a significant quality of life and security improvement.
That is due to associativity. You're implicitly relying on a consistent left-to-right evaluation order, but the fundamental problem can be phrased as (using s for small and b for big):

(((b + s) + s) + s) + s

Can be different to

b + (s + (s + (s + s)))

This re-parenthesising is related to associativity, not commutivity.
Not quite a+b, but a+b+c reordered may give different results[1]. Example from Python:

>>> 0.1+0.2+0.3
0.6000000000000001
>>> 0.2+0.3+0.1
0.6

It's an associativity problem and not a commutative one, however, that is relevant to the original point about folding floating point operations over lists.

C++ macros can't read a configuration file to generate code (at least I don't want to know that they can!). And Cog works in any text file, so it can be used for languages (like HTML) that don't have macros.
Zoho has free custom domains. I don't use the web client much, but it's actually pretty good.
I believe the short to medium term future of nuclear is SMRs, not necessarily utility scale nuclear reactors. SMRs are basically naval scale PWRs that can be transported on a truck and deployed in batches. Most nuclear "waste" from these could then be further burned in fast breeder reactors, which are indeed more expensive but they solve the waste problem and create new fuel for conventional thermal reactors.
I think it is popular in Iowa because farmers see it as a source of income (thousands $$$/year each). Having just moved out of Iowa I can report that they are unpopular with town folks (population 300) who are near the turbines but don't get any rent from them. Hard to not like something when they are paying you a pretty penny.

I think Wisconsin is just dense enough that a lot of people who don't have potential to get rent income have to look at them, while Iowa is just sparse enough that most people who see them get income from them.
I do this using cog for Verilog code. It lets me generate signal processing constants/math in the signal processing code itself, driven by a single control file (with, i.e. system sample rate) without having to rely on Verilog's awkward (where even available) math.
I don't think this has much to do with the oil wealth. These are only subsidies in the sense that there is an absence of a tax that would otherwise roughly double the cost of the car. Almost no Norwegians would normally buy a car with an $80,000 (US) base price; most Tesla buyers would normally go for something less than half of that price. So the lost tax revenues aren't proportional to the price of the car.

Norway's oil wealth mostly goes towards a massive public sector and a very comprehensive social safety net, and it doesn't enter the economy directly -- only in the shape of a 3% dividend from previously invested oil tax money.
Free speech is tolerance of other opinions.

> why would this process now reverse itself?

Are you trying to argue that the process never does reverse itself? Because that does happen.

> And if it did reverse itself, perhaps there's a good reason for it - perhaps voters aren't happy with the fruits tolerance bore. It's a bit undemocratic to say that free speech philosophers know best how a society should be structured, and if the populace disagrees, they'll be censored until only permitted ideas may be expressed.

Thats what the makers of the Weimar Constitution thought.
I appreciate your concern for the integrity of HN—the fact that the community here feels so strongly about that is one of the best and most community-like things about it. However. If you read the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), you'll notice that:

(1) commenting on voting on comments is off topic;

(2) insinuating astroturfing is not ok;

(3) you should email us instead: hn@ycombinator.com.

Re #1: a moderator correctly marked your comment off topic. That lowers its rank. Re #2: I looked at the upvotes. There's no trace of abuse that I can see. People are far, far too quick to assume manipulation when the truth is simply that large subsets of the community like different things. That's why we have that guideline.

Is there any more information as to what this backdoor was?

The article mentions the University of Surrey but also unnamed Microsoft Researchers.
The pieces look more similar from the top, though. With bad enough contrast everything is just a circle. So you need some kind of angle.
"...if the pilots turned the switch off, turning off much more than just the MCAS (as there's no switch "just turn MCAS off, keep the rest on"), but then the plane was already not possible to save (it was only 1000 ft above the ground!) and they turned the switch back on, hoping for obtaining more power/possibility to trim, and the faulty MCAS kicked in again (despite being the reason for the switch cutoff before) and even sped up the crash, then the pilots in fact did absolutely all that was possible to do..."

If this is indeed what is announced, I sincerely hope the responsible parties for making the decision to go through with MCAS in this way are paid well in jail time.
I realize that and that was partially my point. No one worries about the interstate highway system falling into the wrong hands even though it is much more linked to military power than the census. So why do we worry about the census falling into the wrong hands?
Yes, I agree Yubico's libraries and tools leave a lot to be desired. A lot of the functionality in these tools is broken, or requires unnecessary extra configuration, or is encumbered with dependencies that are broken.

The specific "smartcard" protocol that Yubico uses for this functionality is well-supported by the three major operating systems, though (winscard is a standard library on Windows, PCSC.framework is standard on Mac OS, and libpcsclite is available on Linux by installing pcscd/pcsc-lite).

I recently implemented a library (https://github.com/pyauth/exile) to use Yubikeys to sign AWS API requests, which required writing a Python ctypes API to talk to these libraries. It turned out to be fairly easy once I threw away the idea that I should rely on any of the libraries you listed, and just started talking via the winscard/PCSC protocol directly.

If anyone wants to write something similar for this application, the ctypes bindings are in https://github.com/pyauth/exile/tree/master/exile/scard, and https://github.com/pyauth/exile/blob/master/exile/ykoath contains an example of how to use them.

Fluent resizing used to be non-trivial to implement but that hasn’t been true for about a decade so I think they’re out of excuses. Especially since there is nothing else on screen requiring space. They would have almost had to go out of their way to break this!

I used to see some atrocious UIs (seemingly always in “enterprise software”) that didn’t make scrolling regions resize either. In great irony, these super-abbreviated lists usually appeared in screens that otherwise displayed every conceivable thing in the app, cramming the screen with content but not using any of that space for what I wanted. My list was crammed into 1-3 items in a tiny scrolling box with about 7 characters shown per item.

It needs to be standalone so that you can make it part of your build process instead of messing around in some text editor that not everybody wants to use.

Nothing about the twitter account refutes what I'm saying about Venezuela. There's a certain quantity of BTC there already, and it's not nearly enough to replace all the money down there. They can't mine any because any big clusters of compute get nationalized [1], [2] and rewards are going down. That means they can either trade with outsiders, and in that case, doing so for USD they'd be 5X better off over the last two years. Or they trade with each other, in which case, it remains zero sum. Unless they are somehow more efficient at mining BTC than the Chinese who control more than 51% of the hashpower?

Nothing in that twitter account refutes that in Venezuela the minimum wage is $6.70USD per MONTH [3] so a single transaction fee is nearly a WEEK of wages. And that's up from $2.20 per MONTH so a single transaction fee was THREE WEEKS of wages.

LN transactions are "instantaneous and free" once you open a channel ($1.50) and lock in your balance, then close out your channel ($1.50). Again, two weeks wages.

Bitcoin is not a solution to the problems of Venezuela. Changing the government is. They're totally disconnected.

I recommend using the winscard/pcsc interface directly. winscard is a standard library on Windows, PCSC.framework is standard on Mac OS, and libpcsclite is available on Linux by installing pcscd/pcsc-lite.

Yest, but this is not "email".
Not unusual to block all ports (incl. 25, 587, 465 and 110) except 80 adn 443. If you complain that email does not work then they check their "webmail" and say "what do you mean? Gmail works...".

This is not a major obstacle for me since I can pass through all ports via a http/https VPN but this is not how the internet is supposed to work.
