> some AEADs (including AES-GCM) suffer catastrophic failures
of confidentiality and/or integrity when two distinct messages are
encrypted with the same key and nonce. While the requirements for
AEADs specify that the pair of (key, nonce) shall only ever be used
once, and thus prohibit this, this is a worry in practice.

Could anyone explain what this catastrophic failure entails? Do both messages suddenly get decryptable, or is the entire AES key compromised?

Define comfortable?

I drive a shitty 2001 Saturn. I change the brakes myself. I work on my house myself. I just spent the last weekend digging a 35ft long 4 in wide ditch to replace my main water line.

I am comfortable.

> And buying a traitor always costs a lot of money. Even Judas got 30 pieces of silver.

30 silver pieces actually wasn’t much money. These are commonly thought to refer to a silver shekel. If so, it’d be 30x11.4g or 342g of silver total, about $164 at today’s prices.

30 shekels was also the price of a slave according to Exodus 21:32. So, the fact that the Pharisees paid Judas only the price of a slave shows their immense disrespect for the Christ.

"We successfully automated lethal incompetence" is perhaps not the most appealing of all possible USPs for a medical system.
>They're all interchangeable, right?

Only with respect to use (properties).

They still all have different histories (space/time lines).

If they indeed have found the first molecule, that would be a huge thing (and a huge mystery, of how they've managed to (a) find it, (b) recognize it as such, since all are interchangeable).
You are supposed to combine the hash with the user-provided nonce. It's not purely a hash, that's not good enough. The purpose is to protect against the user-provided nonce being weak. Still expect a proper nonce if it can be done.

To answer the parent, it doesn’t imply a monolith application, but deployment to multiple server roles and apps will happen using the same source repository.
This is correct, at face value. However, the comparison is usually this:

Option 1:

- has a removable battery, headphone jack and/or stereo speakers

- security / OS updates stop in 6 months (or never happen or are years behind)

- camera is OK

- getting kind of slow

- proprietary version of Android with bloatware

Option 2:

- no removable battery, headphone jack or stereo speakers

- security / OS updates for 2-3 years

- camera is better in low light

- it's fast right now

It's like evolution, except there aren't enough options and the timeline is too short and bad features are too coupled with good features.
Whats the point of being secretive and ruining your reputation by pretending this is a daily driver? This is a status symbol phone. The price point makes that obvious. If it breaks all the time, all the better. It shows you don't care about a disposable $2k.
I know my local tire shop would be out of business. I go through an average of 1 tire each month from potholes, and a bent rim at least twice per year.
Wow you were quick to read and comment. I updated it before seeing your answer.

Sure it depends, which is exactly the point that I meant. A package manager is a use case pretty large.

You wouldn't have the same safety requirement over both shoes and cars, thus the same apply to software.
The main thing I don’t understand about all this is, what would be wrong with just having two screens with a thin hinge between them?

Movies wouldn’t look as good, sure. But what else? Surely this entire product line can’t be driven by movie watching... can it?
By depressing tech wages, workers are forced out of big tech companies and into smaller companies with competitive salaries but fewer open positions.

Big companies complain they can't find enough workers with their relatively low wages, and lobby for more H1b worker visas, depressing wages even further as foreign workers cannot change companies easily without moving back to their native countries first.

I can totally imagine Steve Jobs writing that email over "no poaching" to the other big tech companies.
Except comments from Scott Renfro of FB stated "there was no actual risk that’s come from this."
Same. I ignored it once and got stuck in a traffic jam with construction that was there the week before.
> You can't find a sport sedan to be better than a Ferrari.

"Better" is a subjective term. A sport sedan is better than a Ferrari if what you need is a sport sedan. A different sportscar may be better than a Ferrari if what you want is something that requires less maintenance (or so I hear, I know nothing about sportscars.)
But will you even get to approach the risk in the first place?

Every venue will require its leagues/teams playing on it to get insurance. And if nobody will underwrite that insurance, or the price is sky-high, then the sport practically won’t exist at the recreational or professional level.

Doubly so if governments start refusing to subsidize the construction of their rec/professional playing areas.
AppSeed is getting hot on Reddit
Waze tells me that stuff too. About an hour before I would have arrived at a major accident, it had notified me about a detour onto a parallel highway I should take. As I got closer, it told me to take an earlier exit because the original one was starting to get backed up from people trying to detour. I got off the highway and got back on with only a minute delay in my ETA.

I usually switch between Google Maps and Waze depending on where I'm going and how soon I want to get there. Google Maps if I'm in no hurry and want to take the "normal" way. Waze for if I'm trying to get there sooner (speed trap alerts and shortcuts help) and I'm either somewhat familar with the route or don't care about the stupid shortcuts. Waze has had me cut through neighborhoods and drive down gravel access roads to shave minutes off the travel time. Most of the time it pays off, sometimes you just end up wasting more time at intersections

This is just sad.

Would love to see data before and after "hitting" replaced "tackling".
Waze will take you on the shortest route - every time - even if that means cutting through a suburb taking the least amount of time to get to the destination. GMaps sticks to main roads as much as possible.
Just as with any other X-as-a-service, it quickly becomes cheaper to just buy it outright than to rent it.

And even if the pricing itself isn't that clear-cut, not having the constant stress of "I'm spending $x/h, I had better enjoy every minute of it" (or, on the flip side, "I'm already spending $x/mo, so I need to use it as much as possible") makes it a lot easier to enjoy the experience.
At the time the astronauts were fixing the problem, neither they nor Huston knew they were venting oxygen, just fuel. That's kind of a major plot point, a driver of much of the tension of the movie, and goes a little bit beyond an "embellishment" or "simplification". There are also some other, similar flaws.
Well why don't you and millions of others commit crimes... cause there are consequences.

There is zero consequences now for getting paid, bribed, etc for writing fake reviews and little by little helping to destroy the Internet.

There are laws about pollution... why not have laws against polluting the Internet with bribery/racketeering junk that is detrimental to the health of the Internet?
I’ve experienced suicide deeply and personal. One of my best friends and my mother killed herself.

Suicide, at its root, is a violent and mostly selfish act. It shows that you do not care about the world or the people in it that you leave behind who will bear the real emotional toll of your actions. It’s the ultimate and final “fuck you” and it will forever leave a scar on your victims in your family, friends and community. It’s the act of an evil person.

I don’t feel sorry for this girl. She’s a selfish spoiled brat who didn’t care about other people in her life, just like everyone else who kills themselves. If we can find solace it is that she is now in a place where she can’t do any further damage to others.
I'm guessing part of this is inappropriate expectations for living space. How much would you say it takes to be "comfortable" in Manhattan if you moved there expecting it to be like the suburbs?

cynic says marketing.
Same here, when I saw the `(2015)` in the title. I didn't remember the exact year of Holleran's story, just that when ESPN published it, it was very notable and alarming. People were cynical about social media back then, but they weren't as outright hostile, in the way that it's common to be so today.

Just as you said for yourself, her story spoke more to me as a story about how severe depression can hide in plain sight, in any era, but also in an age where constant checkins and engagement is almost mandated by social media. I didn't get the impression at all that the tragedy was exacerbated by social media, other than possibly misleading her loved ones to think she was happier than she was.

What would your recommended best course of action to someone in this position be? Say you've worked 8 years and went from $75k to $550k pre-tax total comp - would you recommend that they continue slogging for another 2-3 years or?

I'm personally planning on working for large companies the first 3-4 years of my career (out of college) saving ~50% of my earnings post tax then giving some early stage companies another go (whether it be joining in early growth stages or as a founder).

I find it hard to believe that more than say the top 10% of engineering or management talent in tech is making $500k+ total comp in 2019. But I'm open to being corrected.
Waze has the dumbest ads. Like I'm not going to stop at a KFC or grocery store in the middle of a roadtrip. Why would I buy groceries now and how in the world would I eat fried chicken and drive?
That's an odd metric, as it would only apply to people who love cars rather than people who use cars for practical purposes.

I don't think I've ever driven or ridden in a car that actually put a smile on my face (and I've ridden in several very high-end cars, including Ferraris). But that's to be expected, as I'm not a car guy.
Social Media Trap -- I installed the Leechblock extension for Firefox which helped me a bit. Also going to special places like silent libraries is helpful for me to concentrate. As final escape, think about going offline. Documentation can be downloaded.
Even then, some of my friends are rich buttholes who somehow manage to take many huge trips each year. International, snowboarding multiple times (denver, canada etc).

It doesnt bother me much, but I sometimes feel bad for my wife. She seems everyone doing fun shit on instagram and she is stuck at home. We cant afford to drop 10k+ a year on trips. We get one or two a year which is enough for me.

The thing is when we go on these trips, we just enjoy each other. We take pictures, but we arent fucking posing for instagram 20 times a day. We take pictures to remember the moment together, and to share them with our family in the future.

How to Be a Great Programmer
So you think a CS chitty is automatically the best possible career in development no wonder you used a throwaway handle.

I would have said having a good grounding in physics or engineering can be a plus having to work from first principals rather than using memorised algo's for w=example.
> As someone who obtained their Master's in Physics, I have to agree with the article. The breadth and depth of my scientific training has made me a much more capable data scientist (and engineer) than most of my peers who went the CS path.

Not knocking on you specifically, but I've seen this kind of overconfidence before in physicists, mechanical engineers, mathematicians etc.: "programming / statistics / data science is so easy, of course I know what I'm doing and will be up to speed right away." Their work is generally not bad, but not particularly great either. I do think the scientific training and rigorous education in these fields helps, but if it's not supplemented with a little humility it makes for poor colleagues.
The interesting thing is that items with nation wide prices (like cars) are more "expensive" in low cost of living areas, because they are worth a higher fraction of the median salary.

What really drives bay area prices are the real estate prices, which then impacts labor pricing.

Thanks for the pointer to the book. For others interested, the authors are Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt.

For what its worth, I agree that parents are overprotective to the point that it hurts children's development. I let my kids roam more than most (from what I can gather) but I do live in a fairly safe area.
It also sounds more like it's a sales pitch to implement personal development like the Valentine's Day approach to relationships. Make an effort once a year and hope it's enough. Why would it take so called AI to do what her line management should be implementing as standard across the board for anyone, let alone top university grads?

Google collects significantly more data than Facebook, and has a sordid past with sexual harassment and inappropriate relationships. Lyft, Uber, and AirBnB have openly flouted regulations, and that doesn't count Uber's other scandals. LinkedIn grew by emailing everyone's contacts without their permission (if you think what FB did here is bad, LI was far worse). High frequency trading and other fintech companies engage in front-running and derivatives trading that may be contributing to market volatility and systemic risk.

Comparably paying companies pretty much all have questionable histories.

Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg has committed to investing in improving Facebook even at great expense (don't believe me? look up what triggered the nosedive in Facebook's stock last summer). Do you think Facebook will improve more if conscientious engineers left the company?
> It shows that you do not care

I've interviewed people who tried to kill themselves but lived, and not one of them said that suicide was a "fuck you" gesture. Every single one of them spoke about their firmly held belief that their family would be better off without them.

Suicide as a fuck you gesture is very rare, and tends to be accompanied with murder.
It doesn't matter if it's simple or not. We can't hold these 1k+ engineer teams to the same accountability levels as a 3 person team. When, as engineering professionals, are we going to put an end to this? This is completely unacceptable in any other engineering discipline.

Almost all free and open-source alternative have terrible UIs and crappy UX. And some have shitty content too.

However, that content is done by volunteers just like you, and if you refuse to contribute because something puts you off, then the project dies. Imagine people with the same mindset as you: Oh, I don't bother contributing my design skills because the content sucks. And you don't contribute because design sucks. In the end, no one contributes and the project, as a whole, suffers.

But if the project suffers, you and everyone else, lose to corporate offerings like Google. And that is fine, if you like that. But don't expect them to respect you. I hate to say this, but change has to come from within, not from laws, market forces or anything else.

So, if you want LIBRE maps, and you really care about that, just go on and do it. Gather people, make noise and work hard. There's thousands of highly successful projects to get inspired by.
They don't pay as well as Facebook either.
You can get most of the benefit on smaller scales by building feature branches and ensuring they pass unit tests, deployment and integration testing before they're allowed to be merged to mainline.

It still depends on well written tests, lest your confidence be dashed when a human starts pushing buttons and pulling levers.

Also, don't break up tightly coupled code/modules into separate repos for the sake of microservices. Hard working developers will have to do two or more builds, PRs, possibly update semvers, etc... Find the right seams. If two repos tend to always change in lockstep, think about merging.

As an avid user of mapquest back in the day, the user experience that google provided (tiled maps that could be panned/zoomed seamlessly) was absolutely revolutionary and the clincher for me.

Mapquest back then had the clunky “click the big arrow” to move the map and reload the page navigation...
I'm not necessarily saying that Muller believes in that theory... only that he was operating under that theory within the context of the report.

Perhaps my word "acceptance" was a poor choice. But I want to emphasize that Muller did not fight against that theory. Whether he was unable to, or whether he believed the theory is a separate issue. The important bit is that the Muller Report operated under the assumption that they couldn't indict a sitting President.

Considering that something like 10 pages of the report looks like its dedicated to the constitutional powers of Congress (Article I vs Article II issues), it seems like the report is basically saying "This is Congress's issue, not Muller's issue. But here's the evidence Muller found."
I don't think it's wrong, tho definitely (somewhat) less precise. An ionized molecule is still that molecule.
I don't see how natural resources alone would make a passive income. Energy has to be exerted to extract the resource. By human labor or by machine. Then the extraction operation needs protection. If they left an oil well unprotected in Alaska forest somewhere then soon bandits would take over it and collect the profits. Nowadays this is resolved by private ownership of land which is maintained and provided by the government. Then of course the payment for this protection for exclusive rights of use needs to be paid to said government. Simply by collecting a land tax priced at a percentage of market value of that land. Workers and business collect profits due to their labor and government collects the natural resource rents. Any excess the government collects in the tax can be then reinvested into public works or paid as a dividend to citizens. Like in Alaska and Norway.

The case for user-replaceable batteries isn't just to be able to replace them when they wear out. It's also to be able to carry a spare or two for when you want to use the device for an extended period of time. (No, external power banks don't really address this use case).
