Seems like if ProtonMail can encrypt them automatically, then they can potentially be decrypted by someone at ProtonMail.

Reasoning:

Are emails automatically encrypted with a hash of the user password when they are received?

If the user forgets the password, how do password resets work?

Are the emails before the password reset "lost", or does ProtonMail keep a copy of the hashed password (which I suppose would be needed to log in with in the first place) to unencrypt the older emails, and re-encrypt with the newer password?

I really wasn't monitoring my use of the name. Though obviously I am now. Anyway you guessed right: My lack of respect for the guy we're talking about is so deep and vast that this forum won't tolerate my going into it. And rightly so, because ultimately it's boring as heck.

Actually I think I was, if anything, charitably conferring tons of undue respect on that guy, by calling him "our president," thereby not only acknowledging his office but accepting him as "ours," both of which are more than some are willing to do. Ya can't please some people I guess.
Some kind of adjustment needs to be made. The rise of automation is clearly going to take away some lower-tier jobs.

I don't think banning the technology is the right answer. Maybe hiring more blue-collar workers in different jobs (think cleaners, gardeners, guards, etc.) might be the ticket. Of course, taxes will have to go up because somebody has to pay for these things. But we'd have a cleaner, safer world with less unemployed people.
Efficiencies of scale, for one thing. Microsoft with a strong mobile OS sharing a kernel and a greater software ecosystem with its desktop OS only has to make an app once and flex that across mobile and desktop. Instead, Microsoft today absolutely has to build apps for iOS, Android, and Windows to stay competitive.

This is probably a good thing in the long run for Microsoft as some of its more innovative work has been when it's tried to focus on cross-platform software (its founding era, and the early GUI wars, for instances), but that vision of a single flexible OS across all device form factors is still an attractive one, especially from an efficiency of scale perspective.
Note: they can really only "frontrun" you if you are making a massive trade. Even then, from the other side it's not really perceived as frontrunning, rather as "getting out of the way" of a huge order that's going to change the price. You don't want to be the one that sold them some stock for $1 that they will immediately push to $10, which then you will have to buy back for $10, as you are the market maker...
Thank you, you eloquently expressed the point I was trying to make. To say "we know that quantity Y can never be measurable or observable below discrete length X... but also, Y is continuous and can be subdivided below X, just trust us on this one" doesn't sound like science. Philosophical at best.
How is this any different from algo trading on the stock market?

Task: Send me a tweet on Twitter. Careful not to send it to any imposters.

Challenge: Finding me on Twitter. For example, I am not @Nadya

Extra Credit Challenge: Let's say I'm e-famous enough to have imposter accounts but not have a Twitter "verified" badge. Which Twitter account is the real me? And how do you know?

Where Keybase comes in: On my HN profile itself you can find my signatures on Keybase. Keybase is not necessary for these signatures but becomes a convenient place to look. You also do not need to trust Keybase; although in practice many people will. Don't lie to me and tell me you'd verify the keys. :)

Now you can go directly from my HN profile to my Twitter profile and tweet at me knowing that I am who I say I am. Or at least the individual posing as me has access to three of my accounts (HN, Keybase, and Twitter) and that you'd at least be talking to the same person.

The social proof and web of trust bit is where Keybase falls down but that's an inherit flaw of the web of trust (key exchange parties aren't as popular as they used to be and people will sign/trust keys of people they've never met IRL). Ultimately you'll have to trust that the people who follow me on Keybase are certain beyond a reasonable doubt that I am who I say I am. From there, you can trust the social proofs.

I personally use it so that people can find me on other services more easily and know that they are speaking to me.
If you include in "bad servers" ones that censor and ostracise instances that offer more freedom to their users, yes.
I still don't get it. You have always been able to get a keybase proof for ANY website/domain without being approved first. Why do you need to whitelist mastodon instances? Why not just let people type in the domain name for their instance and get rolling?

> If it can't be observed, like it's even theoretically impossible to observe it or have evidence of it, ever... it's not science.

More than that. It simply doesn't exist in any meaningful sense and it's a waste of time to even think about it.

What cannot be observed in principle has exactly zero impact on the universe. That's pretty much a definiton of "not existing".

Broadcast Channel API
My bet would be both. After all, why handle all the dirty work of implementing real-time chat that works across multiple different sites when you can just plug in Keybase instead? After all, if you're using it for encryption you already require people to have a Keybase account to have their chats encrypted.

> Like a Mastodon instance, we reserve the right to work with whichever partners we prefer. We specifically will avoid at least these sites:

Just what is "illegal activity"? According to whose laws?

Given that Keybase servers are in the US, I suppose that means US law. And frankly, that sucks.

But please do clarify.

frontrunning (n): the practice by market makers of dealing on advance information provided by their brokers and investment analysts, before their clients have been given the information

The prototypical example is a large investment bank hearing about a large client buy order, then putting in a buy order first on their own book, knowing it will go up due to the client order. It is a violation of your fiduciary duty to the client.

In this case, the friends at the table receive their bill from the top bureaucrat rather than directly. The bureaucrat tells them what they owe. It's more than what the bill calls for, but if they don't like it, they can go to another table where there is another top bureaucrat running the same scheme (more or less).
I still think it's a little bit bizarre that Microsoft now owns both Atom and VS Code. Surely it can't make sense in the long run to keep both of them going.
Microsoft was founded on cross-platform. Their goal was clearly to have their software on every "home computer" regardless of manufacturer. Owning the OS just makes that goal easier.

Even the early GUI era you could see Microsoft hedging bets and trying to be the best Macintosh software company while working on Windows. Even as late as the XP/Vista timeframe you could see that Microsoft was often proud of being the largest third-party software vendor for the Macintosh. (That statistic got shaken up soon after, IIRC, but Microsoft held that position for a long time.)

Cross-platform certainly isn't a new attitude for Microsoft. In some ways it seems a return "home" to when they were the BASIC provider for every computer. (Though the argument of whether or not BASIC then was an OS platform is a fascinating one, which is why both perspectives are "correct".)

i would characterize chaos, loss of agency, and delusion/delirium as the common themes that tie together all of gilliam's major works. i love the experience of watching the narratives unravel as the characters lose touch with reality -- but rather than becoming isolated from the world, we see a perspective where the entire world seems to descend into madness in the character's footsteps.

i felt differently about this movie. the same themes are here, but much more explicit. in this film, the character becomes more and more isolated, the world becomes smaller and smaller, and the delusions are unilateral. it doesn't allow me to follow the main character into the spiral and i'm left feeling like an observer rather than a participant.
The same way anybody can not know anything. There are a million things in this world to pay attention to, people are bound to miss stuff.

K is interpreted, not compiled. You can run your code the instant it's written.

As other's have said, K (the language and the interpreter) is highly optimized for processing tabular data. I've heard of it outperforming C in processing billions of rows of financial data. (Which, by my understanding, is K's primary market.)

Lastly, K (like APL, J, A+, Klong, Kona, etc.) is very terse. A phrase I've seen online is "one line of K is roughly equivalent to 100 lines of C". K programs, like APL & co., very often fit entirely into a screenful of text, but require close and complete reading to understand. There are lots of videos on youtube of people writing literate sudoku solvers or conway's game of life in a dozen lines or so, and terse solutions in a dozen or so characters.

People who like these programming languages tend to like their terseness -- they can view the entire program all at once (no scrolling or searching), and refactor or rewrite the program in a few seconds of minutes of typing.
Just passing the buck up and jailing the executive would likely be enough, but mass drivers are cool too.

I've spent plenty of years renting apartments from investment properties owned by rich people as well, but every single one of them has been a rich person (or corporation) who borrowed money from a bank to buy a multi-family property, not someone who cashed out a startup and invested the proceeds in real estate.

> Powerpoint didn't stop NASA employees from asking "What are the chances of a catastrophic result?"

How so? The whole practice of using Powerpoint, whether in business, other enterprises, education or elsewhere is literally designed around its nature as a persuasion technology that makes true shared deliberation impossible, by ensuring that everyone in the audience has to expend their mental effort to focus on what the Powerpoint slides purport to say. Even Tufte is rather clear about this, and consistently critical about Powerpoint use. There is a very real sense in which Powerpoint stopped the audience from asking the right question.
You can take supplements or research the other low cost foods that compensate for the deficiencies (spinach, eggs, fish oils, etc.). Do note that the primary goal is to obtain enough calories to avoid suffering from hunger and dizziness, not achieving the most optimal and sustainable diet (although a rice, beans, oat & veg diet is doubtlessly a far better base than the typical low-income western pattern diet of fast food and sugary drinks).

Obviously you'd obviously want to find ways to increase your income in order to have more than a $1/day to spend on food, but you'll never get there if you're starving.
Thanks! And I guess the point I wanted to make is that there was no insulation up there. No modernization had been done. The whole thing was just wood and rock: think San Francisco in early 1906.
I'd say it boils down to a question of intent. In the case of Boeing, you have a complicated system whose engineering intricacies make it exceedingly difficult for anyone to anticipate all possible failure modes. In the case of VW you have execs trying to make an extra buck off of knowingly pumping an excess of pollution into the atmosphere. The first seems negligent at most, the second seems malicious.
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can weigh in-- I'm just speculating from a lay perspective. The bottle configuration likely means less states are available due to the confines of the system, and these states are higher energy. I'm thinking something like the Casimir effect, where the boundaries of the system impose conditions that limit the total number of states. Could this explain the discrepancy? Something that could potentially corroborate this idea is comparing those boundary conditions. Do neutrons in larger "bottles" decay slower, and neutrons in smaller "bottles" decay into protons even faster?
> How about we compare to engineering wages

Why? Why not vs. CEO compensation? Is there some rule that CEOs and shareholders must make absurdly more money than workers, or society will collapse? CEO salaries are routinely defended with "that's what they're worth" - why does this not apply to the lowly worker?
Anyone can watch crypto going into the exchange. Usually people don’t (shouldn’t?) hold it on the exchange for excessive periods of time, so once it confirms, they try to sell and withdraw.

If you can see this, you can front the sell (before the deposit even confirms) and then be the buyer shortly after it confirms.

But I don’t see this as being much different than providing liquidity and taking the risk that someone else doesn’t want to take.
Clearly the mission controllers bear some responsibility, but I disagree with diverting blame from the creators of the PowerPoint.

The PowerPoint displays extremely clouded thinking. The title is: "Review of Test Data Indicates Conservatism for Tile Penetration." What the heck does that even mean? An unclear title is a very strong indicator of unclear thinking about the point being made. Further, there is a relatively precise estimate of the size of the foam, and its orders of magnitude larger than the size used for the tests. The slide clearly states that the penetration velocity depends on "volume/mass of the projectile"--i.e. one would expect a much larger projectile to penetrate at a lower speed. So why is the lead message not "we have to try the tests with bigger foam, because we don't have the data we need to reach a proper conclusion?"

Remember, while this is happening, a million other things are going on. The officials have other risks and trade-offs to deal with. In that scenario, one of your jobs as an engineer is to clearly convey your point, and perhaps more importantly, the limitations of your analysis. It's not the job of the decisionmakers to tease that information out of you. Ideally, of course, a decisionmaker faced with unclear messaging will try and get to the bottom. But in a high-pressure scenario, that doesn't always happen. For one thing, how does the official even know which issues need to be run to the ground and which do not? Who was the person who best knew how significant this slide was? The official reading it (who probably saw a hundred other slides in the same meeting), or the person who wrote it?

Algorithmic trading is about building an algo that determines how a market or stock will move based on news, economy, other factors.

In flash boys the front-running that these quant funds are running isn't about an algorithm, but literally all about having high capacity pipes that can see an order come in and then fill it between different exchanges and based on the minute differences in stock prices pocket the difference.

So an algo fund can lose money if the algorithm is incorrect. While front-running you never lose money.

It's basically like being a tax collector.

"His mother dated a string of alcoholics and addicts, and took the children to an evangelical church on Sundays..."

Makes little sense to me. I've gone to Evangelical churches for decades and can't imagine this behavior. Do we have addicts and alcoholics? Yes, of course. Do the single women flock towards them, one after the other? Not once in my observation. Evangelicals generally frown upon drinking (and drugs, of course.) There are some who imbibe or use on a regular basis, but these are generally few and far in between. (Not judging, just saying-- who would want to sit in a pew and condemn their own life choices? It's much easier and better on your psyche to go find a church that isn't so uptight about these things. The Catholics, for example, regularly hold parties where alcohol is served. Much easier!)
