In the current day of multi-device users, I'm not sure a "user friendly implementation of PGP" can ever exist.

People want their email on their phone, on their laptop, and on their tablets. They want to keep those emails when they get a new phone, or lose their phone, or it gets smashed.

But most importantly, people want others to be able to know that others can read their email, and unless the people you are emailing know how to decrypt PGP encrypted email (or use the same client as you), they'll just get a mess, possibly with instructions on extra steps they need to take to decrypt it. And when you (in practice) are only able to email people using the same client, might as well just pivot the product into a secure messaging system like Signal or Telegram.

And that's not even getting into the amount of work and discipline something like PGP needs to work. Did you lose your master key? well you're fucked, might as well start over new and convince everyone you have ever talked to that you are still the same person.

People generally aren't against PGP because it doesn't work or the security isn't good enough, they are against it because it's complicated and difficult and punishes mistakes hard.

To most people, perfect security is useless if the average joe can't use it. Perfect security is useless if it requires constant diligence from users to prevent mistakes which in effect delete every bit of data you have. Perfect security is useless if you need to use out-of-band secure signaling in order to setup a secure channel.

That is why PGP is being dismissed. Because no matter how many coats of lipstick you put on that pig, at the end of the day it's a complicated, damn near user hostile program that punishes mistakes. And it's really fucking hard to make a "user friendly implementation" of something that will instantly and irrevocably destroy all of your communication the first time you lose your phone, or you have a house fire, or a theft, or any other number of things.
You're being disingenuous. Nazi Germany's rise to power was a composite of many different factors. You make it seem as though free speech was the sole cause of its ascendance.
Many of those classes do exactly those things.

The scholarly criticism exercise uses the subject matter to create "play" exercises to teach students to organize thoughts, construct and analyze arguments, etc.

College math classes often do the same thing. For most people, the math is just a medium for the intellectual "play" that teaches critical thinking skills.

You probably won't need literary criticism in your day to day life, but then again you probably don't need much of the math either.
Easy test that might give us a hint, compare the google search results between

'"amazon.com" -site:amazon.com'

'"the amazon" OR "amazon rainforest" OR "amazon river"'

At least on google, amazon.com returns vastly more stuff. Hell, even '"Amazon" AND "Bezos"' gets way more hits than '"amazon rainforest" OR "amazon river"'

Obviously this is far from conclusive, but it's something. Google trends might also be an useful tool.

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%22the%20amazon%2...

Seems like people search for "the amazon" about as often as they search for amazon and bezos together, worldwide.
That’s pretty much the current state of affair. People go to college because that’s what you do after high school. Ideally at an Ivy League because it looks much better. Then you go to grad school because that’s what you do after undergrad...
I heard https://symphony.com/ is specifically designed to meet the compliance requirements of the finance industry. I don't have any first-hand experience with it though.
You don't. The indirection designed into the EU to isolate the government from the governed is deliberate and there is no recourse.
Could be. You could have close to complete coverage, but slow integration tests. Not a big problem, CI can run those all the time. The problem is the feedback cycle. The slower the tests, the slower the feedback is. So, with each change I have to wait for integration test to run. There is a difference between 2 seconds and 20... it's ok intially but later feels like restarting the server just see if my changes work.

I think and hope with TDD (or some sort of it) to get everyone into a discipline mode, which will lead to better tests. Coverage should follow.

Anyway, I think it's worth trying, but it needs commitment and discipline, similar to agile... it has to be tried as a team.
If the school doesn't perform, the investors won't keep investing in students going to said school and enrollment drops. It's economics working. It would probably also carry over into fields of study, and length of study with escape hatches.
How efficient is the "nuclear option" when all browsers have DNS-over-HTTPS? By then you have a few options:

- Implement a proxy to break SSL.

- Configure the browsers to disable DOH (GPO or local configuration) for as long as it's an option.

- remove all browsers because that's the solution you already have in place.

I wholeheartedly disagree with any resolution that just hides or ignores the issue especially when it's scheduled to become more or less standard.

Ask HN: Have you every had an interview where they messed up?

> Asking them to imagine standing outside the house where they grew up, then walking to the kitchen and pouring a glass of milk. I have them rate their inner experience on a hand-to-hand scale for: color, sharpness, detail, focus area size, opacity/transparency.

I'm decent enough at most of your list, but am almost entirely unable to visualize motion or (I believe related to that) living beings. In your example scenario, I had a point of view but no limbs - my visualization jumped between fridge -> gallon of milk -> poured glass, with almost no fluidity between the steps.

'Sunlight' from the press doesn't necessarily do anything in a court of law, which is the actual thing that is supposed to disinfect society.

A bomb-shell story which drags a corporation or white collar criminal through the mud won't necessarily lead to successful prosecution.

And using sunlight to simply damage a reputation has been used as well. It depends if you believe it's sunlight or not, so we just go back to old-hat media problems.
This 'article' is very low quality and is written by a layman. If his main source of information is one line of wikipedia, he shouldn't be telling experienced engineers how to write flight software.

Furthermore, it is incredibly unsafe to reject so-called "ridiculous" data completely.

Well, is investing in a field of study that graduates 5000 students a year, but only has about 50 new jobs in that field available make any sense?

Yes, you should have to be able to make a living at something to convince someone to loan you the money, even on ISA terms.

I read this as paintball and got excited. Pinball is still cool.
The difference is that you know whether you have all your required information. The IRS doesn’t know until it has everything.

Example: your only bank sends your 1099-DIV on February 15, so you file your return. You know that no other bank is going to send you a 1099-DIV because you don’t have any other bank accounts.

The IRS doesn’t know this. The IRS only knows that you didn’t get any other 1099-DIVs after they’ve received all 1099-DIVs and no more are yours.

Nope, two story home w/basement built in 2004. It’s at the high point in the neighborhood. I’ve had the grounding rod checked. I think I’ve just been really unlucky. I’ve lost networking gear two or three times (which I believe was actually via the cable modem) and the most recent strike 2 years ago took out circuit boards in an A/C unit, a separate air handler/furnace, one of my garage door openers, and an arc-fault circuit breaker in one of my panel. That last strike was the first time I had more than a few hundred dollars of damage and enough to claim against my home owners policy.

This is since 2004. And we get a lot of lightning storms here in the summer. I grew up in S Florida and I don't recall getting lightning storms as frequently or as violently as here.
> when communicating with potential employers in Germany, it's not even talked about. It's just the standard thing to use.

Did I read that correctly? PGP is popular in Germany?

If so, I'd love to hear more please!

It’s not that interesting unfortunately, although I liked your approach. A graviton would be just another boson like a photon, and like a photon would be unable to escape. All of the worldlines of a graviton within the event horizon would lead to a collision with th singularity. It’s just another aspect of “No Hair” on the hole.

Remember that this applies everything where r≤1. As far as “flat” worldlines I think you might be thinking of a geodesic approaching r=1 in terms of a null geodesic, which isn’t necessarily true unless we’re dealing with a photon or graviton. Regions I,II of the Classic Kruskal-Szekeres extension illustrates this pretty clearly.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal–Szekeres_coordinates...

The total mass of the black hole (and all other information possible about it) can be described in terms of the boundary at r=1, so there’s no problem with mergers or accretion. To answer Wallace’s original question, we see no information escaping the black hole. What we’re seeing is sort of like shining a light on an absence of information, and observing the shadow cast. That’s not quite right, but it’s close.

It was never a conservative meme, and it isn't one now. It's just a stupid over-generalization today, as it was in the past, regardless of the politics of the person who uttered it.

XAP CREDIT SOLUTION can fix your credit
I was getting behind on bills and couldn’t take out loans. I went to get a vehicle last year and realized my credit score was way low. Then I was slowly working on lowering my debt and ways to get my credit score up. I was motivated by the need to get a reliable transportation so I could work at my two jobs, I went for six months without a vehicle and it was actually quite difficult. I saw a comment on giffgaff about XAP CREDIT SOLUTION and how they helped a certain Noah Davidson, I became curious and wondered if he could help me fix my poor Credit and eliminate bad debts. Well with my fingers crossed, I gave them a try, eventually he fixed my Credit and gave me a reason to smile and be happy again. He removed the bad records on my report and raised my score to 791, here is their email address; (XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM) and direct number (972) 597 9704;. You can trust them with your credit report, they are credit specialists.

With that said, I cant find mention of this on the page so it's probably not leveraging this.

Even then, there is a lot of risk... how many will fallout, not finish or otherwise live in their parent's basement for a portion of the time?

In the end, you're agreeing to a sliding scale based on salary. Those financing are definitely having an interest in your field of study and the duration for completion.
It didn't start out that way. It started with conspiracy theorists and fake news.
I was more talking about conservative Christians, evangelicals and right-wingers. You and your circle of friends are not necessarily representative of the mainstream. I've seen more than enough of both play out in popular culture and the media that I refuse to believe such views are not normalized throughout the Western world.
The size of working memory... that sounds like a threshold for taking an already-randomized list and turning it into another one that looks different on casual inspection.

Even with a small size like 200 a shuffler that weak won't do a good job of turning sorted into unsorted, even at a glance.
It looks to be an incredibly simple, static page. No javascript even. Don't we see a "you shouldn't be using a fancy framework/javascript" article every week or so?
"enabling" and "causing" aren't the same thing.
Haha, well said.
Funny that you put all these “issues” in quotes. Gave me a smile. :) Because as we know: Government spending is growing at an unprecedented rate under current POTUS, and corporate welfare is alive and well.
Honest question. Instead of institutions declaring that so and so is certified in a field, why not let employers make these decisions based on the work that the student has produced. Particularly for the STEM fields, let each student publish their thesis or project work in a publicly available repo and rather than evaluate someone on GPA or degree, evaluate them on whether their domain knowledge is good enough.

European nations have indeed drawn the line in a different places for historical reasons, however that place is most definitely not the same for all nations. It wouldn't make sense for that to be the case as a line drawn for historical reasons must therefore depend on the countries history which is vastly different for each and every country.

I reckon on the whole people have fought more to protect free speech than to limit it, although both have indeed occurred, fascism being the main example of the latter.
This has always struck me as a weird sort of edge case, because the hypothetical situation is pretty disconnected from all the other situations where people might seek restrictions on free speech that it doesn’t really matter which way I go.

If I say that yes, I suppose we can carve out some sort of exception for people who directly cause harm to life and limb by falsely proclaiming the existence of immediate dangers in crowded areas, then this doesn’t seem like a slippery slope — I am not forced to then admit we should also start censoring anything else outside that very narrow category.

If, on the other hand, I say that free speech should apply even to those shouting fire in a crowded theatre, am I worried that this is going to suddenly become a major danger? Are psychopathic pranksters going to start causing fatal stampedes at every opening night? No, because it’s not something that actually happens; anyone shouting fire in a crowded theatre would probably just get shushed and escorted out by ushers; at worst they’d provoke an orderly evacuation through the plentiful emergency exits that theatres tend to have nowadays.

So I guess I’ll go for the second option — refuse to carve out the exception and accept the risk of the occasional unnecessary evacuation.

There are other small and well established edge-case restrictions on free speech I am willing to accept, mind you, eg market manipulation or giving false statements to police. But I don’t see the classic fire-in-theatre one as being relevant to anything.
How Not to Learn to Code
I'm not saying that global key continuity schemes always work, only that they have worked (SSH is the best-known example), where global PKI schemes have never once worked.

Late edit:

But note: Google didn't follow up the deprecation of HPKP by promoting DANE. Rather: CT is working, and given that, HPKP wasn't worth the hassle. CT doesn't depend on DNSSEC either!
Could be, but given the much larger influence that the state oil company Equinor (previously Statoil) exerts on the government, I'd not think it's likely.

> We do know that the Denosovian knew how to travel over open ocean as they made it to Australia and PNG.

This is incorrect. We know Denisovans only from one cave in Siberia. From there we have DNA sequences, and from those we can tell Denisovans interbred with some homo sapiens, including people now in Australia and PNG (up to 6% of their DNA is Denisovan). There is no evidence that Denisovans themselves travelled that far.
"Again, we are talking about a school network with young kids (under 12/13)"

As school network admin in another life I came to the conclusion that there is no limit to the ingenuity of pupils even at that age. And I'm just thinking that even big hitters like Netflix have problems properly filtering out VPN services and the likes. Anything-as-a-service makes it all the more accessible to anybody even for free.

Try to disable DOH if you can for now while you prepare something more permanent and resilient. Kids viewing pornographic material in school is a lawsuit waiting to happen I think.

Hopefully for BYOD parents will take a bit of the load off. At least tech savvy ones tend to make sure the device is properly "insulated". Plenty of lockdown options out there for this.

Mastodon 2.8: Highlights from the Changelog
There are a few cautionary tales: Around the turn of the century, Southern Company (Alabama Power) decided to be forward-thinking and put forward one of the first large-scale solar farms using unproven thin film technology, and took a huge writedown when the panels failed and underperformed in a few short years. So the first takeaway is that not all solar panels are created equal. Some have 30 year warranties and some last 30 years.

PV doesn't maintain itself. Some panels inevitably fail and need to be changed out. Weed control has to be put in place. Compared to, say, farming corn, PV is very low maintenance, but it's not zero-maintenance. So you need a staff to watch over it, maybe brush the snow off...

Another aspect is the question of land value. Land is not worthless, and if it's land that has other uses, PV panels might not be the best thing to put on it.

Non-PV (solar thermal) is a totally different animal, with severe issues with cooking birds, but the potential to provide dispatchable power well after the sun goes down.

The duck curve is also rearing its ugly head. California's about maxed out for PV capacity without running into constant wintertime power surpluses, where it better hope Arizona wants to get paid to take the noontime surplus. PG&E, S.C.Ed, and the other major California utilities need to figure out pretty quick that home-based PV needs to have governors to disconnect them from the grid at noontime when the grid is full, much as some require for air conditioners. Expect larger-scale and longer-term duck curve problems to start showing up as PV saturates.
Do you mind saying how old you are? One of my fears is if you're an programmer, you either need to move into management or quit being a programmer because of age bias. I prefer coding over management though.
Humanoid Robots Are the Wrong Answer to the Right Problem
Your math anecdote resonated with me, but with Chemistry instead. I was a Chemistry/CompSci major. I only did a Bachelors degree, but for Chemistry I never really had to study or memorize much because I could generally figure out just by imagining the structure of molecules and feeling how they might interact (this was for organic, materials science and inorganic chem wasn’t so intuitive).

Same with algorithms on data structures- I would imagine a toy data structure and play around with how algorithm would interact with it.

The compulsory first year Math papers on the other hand were impossibly hard to follow, even with a lecturer who happened to specialize in mathematics education I was always lost about 20 mins into a lecture and always struggling to catch up.

I don’t feel like I can picture things as clearly as some people describe in this thread, but it’s not a total blackout either. Something in between.

You mean literally, sunlight is not a disinfectant? (false, https://www.cdc.gov/safewater/solardisinfection.html) Or it's not the best? (true, but the phrase is not meant literally).

Or that the figurative meaning is wrong - that "shining a light" on shady or immoral acts and behaviors is not "the best" for some sense of that word, and there are better options?
