> The sender encrypts a message with the sender's priv key and the recipient's pub key.

You just need the recipient's public key to encrypt. Are you thinking about the sender adding a cryptographic signature, too?

> The recipient decrypts the message with the the sender's pub key and the recipient's priv key.

You don't need the sender's public key, just the recipient's private key to decrypt. Though, if there's also a cryptographic signature from the sender, then you would need the sender's public key to verify the signature.

I wonder if the SOUL team has considered looking at Julia, which aims to solve the two-language problem, in which programming languages are either fast or easy. It's in the context of scientific computing, which is usually almost entirely about throughput and not about latency. But I think there's a lot in common.

I don't think their is such thing as a typical turning radius. On a left turn some people go wide and clip the turning lane of the perpendicular street, others go very sharp and turn at the last minute to the point of overshooting the left slightly. Sometimes it changes if there's another car in that perpendicular turning lane, or if there is traffic and you have to gun it on green to get through, or if the box is blocked, or if there's a box in the road you have to dodge, or a rideshare blocking half the lane dealing with a passenger, etc. etc.
TBH there isn't much of a point on having an Nvidia chip if Nvidia isn't also allowed to provide proper drivers for macOS and has to rely on Apple's shoddy implementation of pretty much everything.

This kind of thing is problematic when someone has a monopoly, which governments and major airports do by default. It might be reasonable under some conditions to have criteria for rejecting ads that are too political, controversial, unfair to the airlines, etc... but those criteria should be published.

Tether Says Stablecoin Is Only Backed 74% by Cash, Securities
We pre-emptively answered this inevitable question in the overview doc:
https://github.com/soul-lang/SOUL/blob/master/docs/SOUL_Over...

The main TL;DRs are:

- this needs to get JITed to compete with C++ performance, so dynamic and interpreted languages are out.

- it needs to stop people doing anything which is real-time unsafe, so any language which involves a heap or GC is out

- it needs to be secure enough to not pose a security risk if deployed to an embedded bare-metal device, so C is out.

- it needs to be super-easy to learn for all programmers, and especially for grizzled old C/C++/Javascript/C# people who aren't into any of that fancy functional nonsense

- it needs to strongly enforce and represent a graph structure at a syntactic level, so.. pretty much all existing languages are out.

NSA Reports 75% Increase in Unmasking US Identities with Foreign Surveilance Law
Suicide hotlines are nearly completely useless to most people. I don't know why people still constantly share them.

Google Docs Says Chromium-Based Microsoft Edge Is Not Supported
I think these issues are grossly overstated.

Let's look at the statistics (the newest from the US government are 2017). Around 79% of suicides are men. That edges up to around 82% in the 14-25 age group and down to 75% in the 10-14 age group (though the rate there is much lower).

Suicide is the second biggest cause of death in the 15-24 age group. Furthermore, there is a youth suicide epidemic with the rate for the 15-24 age group going from 9.7 in 2007 up to 14.46 in 2017 (per 100K with most of that jump occurring in just the last 4 years). That's an almost 50% increase over the past decade generally speaking. Between 2016 and 2017 there's an abrupt jump of 1.3 per 100K.

Most interesting to the study in question is the 10-14 age group. despite rises in other rates, their rate is basically unchanged until the year that show was released. At that point, we see a doubling of the suicide rate (from 0.73 to 1.34) for the 10-14 age from 2016 to 2017. That is definitely statistically significant.

Suicide Contagion is a rather well-known effect. Furthermore, it is known that adolescents and young adults are particularly susceptible to this effect.

Season 1 and 2 are very different (also reflected in their critic ratings). The first season has been out much longer than the second, so statistics there are probably more accurate. It may also be true that those who dealt with the first season and moved on to the second were less at risk to begin with. In addition, the show is about a bunch of high-school kids, so I'd guess they would find it more attractive than most dramas while lots of older people would find it less appealing.

TL;DR: Males are generally the ones committing suicide. The show targets the age groups in question. Those age groups saw a big jump in suicide rates the year the show came out (including a group that had previously been all but unaffected by other changes). This all seems inline with the study in question.

More like 18th century French.

There were two accents in common use in 18th century France: the 'bel usage' and the 'grand usage'.

The short explanation is that after the French revolution, Parisians adopted the 'grand usage'—a pronunciation which till then had been reserved for public speeches and church sermons—for everyday speech.

The 'bel usage' was the usual French 'code' reserved for every day use. It more closely resembles the French spoken in Quebec.

But the 'bel usage' wasn't just a plebeian accent for the unwashed masses, the King's court spoke in 'bel usage'.

But after the revolution, people wanted to change things up: hence the new pencil head pronunciation they use there, which everyone says is the 'correct' one. lol

In Québec, we retained the original 'bel usage' and never adopted the new accent from Paris. We are the keepers of the proper pronunciation of French, unless you want to give a sermon or make a political speech that is...

I don't see a problem with either accent, as long as you enunciate, you will be understood across the entire Francophonie. (Well to be honest, I do prefer my 'accent' from Québec, because I don't have to lug around a dictionary to make sure I pronounce very si-ng-le sy-la-ble cleanly and correctly.)

That's a dishonest quote, you didn't include the context that was provided on why YVR considers it political.

> Additionally, YVR aims to be non-political and Open Media’s borderprivacy.ca website promotes an online petition with a political call-to-action directed towards government officials.

Not that I agree with YVRs decision not to allow the ad, but I find it hard to argue that a website including a petition and urging visitors to message the government about the issue to be "non-political."
>Why should suicide be seen as anti-social?

Suicide causes long-term emotional pain for your family and friends.

>this is a throwaway account so that I can talk openly about being depressed and suicidal

Do you want people who don't know you and know hardly anything about your pain to engage in discussion with you? I will, but full disclosure -- it's because I don't want you or anyone to commit suicide.

I just mean that people argue about Huawei and other China-related stories quite fiercely whenever they come up (often too fiercely: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). 'Groupthink' is refuted by a quick glance into any such thread.

Actually though, the word 'groupthink' usually isn't about anything other than oneself. It's a form of internet preening: I the noble freethinker, towering above the deluded masses in whose midst I deign to glide. In other words, a middlebrow 'sheeple'. (Sorry if that feels like I'm picking on you personally; I don't mean to.)
Even the Cray-1S supported it! I believe it was connected via a 128-bit wide bus operating at the system clock speed (80 MHz in the case of the Cray-1), which made it a ~10 gbit interface. From a low-level software perspective, it was connected to a pair of DMA "channels" (1 input / 1 output), and there were instructions to do bulk copies from SRAM->CHANNEL or CHANNEL->SRAM. It may have used another slower channel pair as a command interface, but I'm not sure (nor how COS or UNICOS exposed it from a higher level software perspective).
Thanks, I couldn't find the paper anywhere.

"Second, we were unable to assess whether the observed increase in youth suicide rates was attributable to the portrayal of suicide in the series."

This is so intellectually dishonest. It feels like a Motte and Bailey[0] argument. Scientists go around parading a correlation as causation. The title of the paper implies causality. They speculate idly about the causation in public. They make no effort to correct media sources suggesting a cause. And then, when challenged, they fall back on "well, nobody can establish causation here..."

I'm not even sure there's a correlation, let alone causation!

No. Anything that isn't in a locked trunk is in public view.

Driving is a privilege, not a right.
As an airport traveler, I'm glad they blocked the ads for the phrasing submitted, but I'm upset that they refused to explain their reasoning and negotiate better phrasing. For example:

"Know your digital rights at the border" is great. It's in the classic tone of raise-awareness campaigns, does not use fearmongering, and can be safely ignored by anyone who already understands them.

"Your phone isn't safe at the border" is not great. It makes you feel afraid, mis-describes the issue (what about laptops?), and doesn't specify the vested interest (it's about rights).

Both parties deserve censure for their choices.

A Nigerian filmmaker lost $10k trying to build Africa's Netflix
Mentally healthy people in good situations don't suddenly commit suicide because of a TV show. Hormonal imbalances, school bullies, unsympathetic parents, pessimism on the news and other media, unrealistic expectations for yourself (because of the aforementioned people and media), and an endless list of other factors can drive a person to the edge. The show shouldn't shoulder all the liability for breaking a taboo and talking about it.
I find this data peculiar. It's not like we see spikes of murders after horror movies get released or anything like that. All forms of violent crime have been on the decline for decades virtually without exception. And even shows that one might think "glorify crime" like Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, The Sopranos, etc. don't elicit this kind of copycat activity.

I wonder what it is about suicidal content that affects people so uniquely.
At a high level it might seem like that, but there's a big difference between "fast" and "realtime". We need to go fast, but the main problem the language needs to solve for us is to break the work down into a steady, realtime stream. Overall throughput is Julia's strong point, but that's not the same thing at all.

I fail to see how that actually reduces risks. Mail/Packages across international borders are routinely searched without warrant. It's explicitly allowed by law:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/19/1583

"For purposes of ensuring compliance with the Customs laws of the United States and other laws enforced by the Customs Service, including the provisions of law described in paragraph (2), a Customs officer may, subject to the provisions of this section, stop and search at the border, without a search warrant, mail of domestic origin transmitted for export by the United States Postal Service and foreign mail transiting the United States that is being imported or exported by the United States Postal Service."

And I think most other countries have similar rules.

And depending on what kind of parcel service you use, you'd not even have protections against warrant-less searches in US domestic context. I'm not remembering the details, but IIRC only First-Class type mail / parcels are protected. Most packages aren't.

It's pretty straightforward to quantify how good a football defensive team is.

> We had 5 sacks, 3 interceptions, and limited the opposing offense to 200yards gained.

Is obviously better than

Even if in both games the opposing offense scored the same number of points.
Your point is technically correct (the best kind of correct), but consider that in the US, the IRS's rules for 501(c)3 organizations, for example, allow those organizations to advocate for political policies without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status, but not for or against candidates.

There is a legitimate argument to be made that policy advocacy is a different kind of "political" than what people generally take that term to mean.

EDIT: That said, I agree with the many other comments here that the tone of the ad in question was confrontational, counter-productive, and fear-mongering. They could perfectly well have made their — again, technically correct — point with a more constructive or informative tone.

I'm not sure that would ever work in America. We are sufficiently spread out that public transportation would be difficult (if possible) to implement. And I'm not talking about NYC or SF; remember, not every one lives there. Much of the rest of the nation is very spread out, which is not an immediately solvable problem.

Regardless, I needed a car as a teen; my parents were both busy and my brother and I needed to do things (including work). 16 is just about the age that people start doing stuff, so that's when they start driving. It's also when people can first get jobs, so important there too.

Maybe there would be a reduction, but you would hurt a lot of innocent people in other ways. It is not for us to suffer to curb the excesses of others.

A fun thing you'll see sometimes in rants about other websites is the screenshot where someone coloured the content part of the website from all the other stuff, UI, sidebars and ads. The obvious labels are "stuff I'm interested in" vs. "stuff I'm not interested in".

Facebook was always bad in that regard. Friends posts are small boxes, crammed between sidebars. This redesign seems to think that the stuff we're not interested in, the sidebars, needs even more enlargement.

The .org is a site I use to provide tools and coordination with my friends (sortof like a private social media thing). The .net I use for servers that are intended just for me (sortof like a gateway to a private cloud).
