That proposal was meant to be taken as a joke. The other proposals by djb and Lange (or possibly CSIDH -- the closest proposal to a usable post-quantum Diffie-Hellman -- which didn't make the submission deadline) seem far more reasonable.
I would assume any regulation will need to be vendor neutral so yes. I am just pointing out that Europe is not powerless even though I think the odds isn't high that they will do something like this.
The more governments try to control the economy and the flow of capital, the more inefficiencies and unintended consequences will be created.

The entire offshore investment market only exists as a result of high tax burdens. Economic resources that go to sustaining that industry would be better spent expanding production of goods and services that enhance people's lives. The tax rates of major economies are far too high and beyond what is optimal..

It’s possible that Google cutting off Huawei will actually backfire, because it makes having a viable alternative to Android a MUST HAVE instead of just NICE TO HAVE.

Perhaps it’s possible to resurrect Blackberry 10 ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_10 ) for example, which seemed to be an impressive piece of engineering that got trampled by Blackberrys failing business. I played with a demo once that could run Android apps and was amazing at multi-tasking thanks to its microkernel architecture. Plus would be governed by Canadian export laws I guess. Perhaps I’m just daydreaming though.

Either way think it’s going to lead to more mobile OS competition again, which is a good thing
Local means worse. The West has terrible production infrastructure when compared to places like Shenzen. It's a serious disadvantage on many fronts.
Here's when MSFT gets to throw their weight around. GitLab simply could not afford to match this program, and I doubt Atlassian could as well. In a year Microsoft will have won so much share of OSS that this will pay for itself many, many times over in the years to come.
I'm sure that Spain would vote against the UK irrespective of Brexit. If you have some territory illegally occupied by the British in your very country, it's obvious that you are going to vote against the British occupying territory elsewhere. It's coherent with Spanish foreign policy for many decades, from far before Brexit was even a talking point.

I haven't noticed any will of the Spanish government to punish the UK for Brexit. That might be an opinion of laypeople, but not of the government as far as I know. In fact, I think Spain was the first country to sign an agreement so that the British can keep entering the country without a visa after Brexit, as long as there is reciprocity.
The symbolism is telling though, US and UK used to be superpowers with diplomatic might, now countries are openly rejecting them.

I enjoyed the reading and think that it is not a technical article rather entertainment. Maybe that is wrong too and it is both. Why should every technical article by definition be written in a boring language?

you’re right, it is a bad UI, but the problem isn’t a matter of “just save the page state”. That already happens when you go back and forward - there’s literally a concept in browsers called the “back/forward cache” that is responsible for you not losing stuff that you entered on pages. Interestingly this also maintains a greater semblance of just working because a lot of network session info is kept around as well - things are ostensibly “per page load”, like session cookies through to session keys.

The problem is how do I save page state such that in critically low memory situations I can recover that state?

On a full system you can always page to disk - that’s how they keep the appearance of everything running. The downside is that swapping is bad for Flash storage, and apparently more so for the low power stuff you get in phones.

Now your statement “saving all memory is surely more expensive than saving some” isn’t actually correct.

First you have to define what “some” is: the entire dom, the js heap, network resources, and additional worker threads. Those are the vast bulk of the memory already being used - there’s not much else that isn’t already either torn down before a tab is killed or shared across processes (like the text segment, etc).

So we don’t end up meaningfully reducing how much needs to be stored.

Taking us to the next step: how do we selectively store just this “reduced” memory?

The reality is you end up having to add a bunch of additional metadata to the browser’s data structures. Which increases the frequency you hit the event you’re trying to avoid. It also means you have to maintain that metadata, providing a new source of bugs (I would consider highly likely), and using more cpu time (though I suspect not by much).

Finally, let’s say you have all of the logic to allow you to serialise everything needed to bring the page back up, when do you do it?

Tabs (or rather the process rendering the tab) are killed when the system is under memory pressure. Serialising requires a bunch of memory - it needs the space for the serialised page (let’s be generous and say 50% of the existing memory usage), it also needs space for the serialisation state, which is likely to be a bunch of O(Number of heap objects) maps.

That means the first thing a web process does when given a memory pressure warning is allocate a huge amount of memory, which would presumably fail (its a memory pressure situation), and then not be able to continue, and then get killed.

Even if you could serialise straight to disk (bad because aforementioned swapping vs SSD) you still get everything killed because you can’t store the serialisation state itself to disk, it has to be resident. Then what happens is you encounter memory pressure and every browser process simultaneously starts trying to serialise their current page, so all allocate a pile of memory for their serialisation state, and again you’re in the position of having a bunch of memory allocation requests when you by definition have little memory left.

Why would they not include the inter-satellite linkage capability? That doesn't make any sense, given that was a solved problem in the Iridium constellation 20 years ago. That was a huge benefit of Iridium, in that it didn't have to rely on the "bent pipe" of just relaying data between a client and a ground station within the same coverage area. It was literally, "if you could talk to one satellite, anywhere in the world, you would have service".

It's been well-known for a long time that doubling the key bits doesn't help for current public-key cryptography because you end up only requiring (approximately) double the number of qubits and a sub-exponential time increase. After all, Shor's algorithm provides a polynomial-time algorithm to solve the problem so the worst case is that doubling n will cause a fixed-power-of-two increase in time (it turns out to 2^2 in this case). It's interesting to get estimates of difficulty given noisy qubits rather than the estimates given of running Shor's algorithm on perfect qubits.

However, symmetric cryptography like AES or ChaCha20 (assuming that the best-case quantum attack is a brute-force search) only gets a square-root speed-up and thus doubling the key bits actually does alleviate the quantum threat.
If it's on by default, it can't reasonably be called a user's choice.
Ideally, one factory’s more-efficient production method would result in a larger economic pie that would be fairly distributed amongst everyone.

In practice, especially when you consider regional trade barriers and the lack of perfect and instantaneous wealth redistribution, many people care about factors such as, “will my friends and family still have economic opportunity if this factory is offshored?”

This concern may at first seem like nationalism or nativism, but through a bit of moral algebra we’ll reveal it as that blessed market motive of rational self-interest. Put simply, factory workers in foreign countries won’t help raise your children, watch over you in times of ill health, or take care of you in old age. In the United States, such aid is also unlikely to come from the anonymous shareholders and C-level executives who’ll reap the main economic benefits of any offshoring.
The 8 and 16 bit scene was a very regional.

For example the Iberian Penisula was all about ZX Spectrum variants and Amiga / PC.

Very seldom you would bump into someone using any of the other 8 or 16 bit home systems.

If you are in the EU remember that sales to companies will have reversed tax, just make sure to get their VAT number and then you don’t have to apply VAT. But I think that the invoice/receipt has to say that reversed VAT should be applied.

Sales to individuals should be declared in MOSS and the VAT of the country where the customer is located should be applied. But (at least in Sweden) there is an exception that if your revenue is under 10000€ per year you many declare all VAT in your country using your country’s VAT.

Also, IANAL.

Well, Jolla was a meme company. The best shot a normal Linux had on mobile was during N9 era, and late Meegos.

After that things went sour:

- GTK+/glib dev community began to wither simply because of older members retiring, and no new blood
- DRM flamewar with record labels
- Android diverted a great amount of community resources
- Monopolisation of smartphone SoC market.

On the contrary - we're not all the same, we are each of us individuals. And that's the point, I think. We're individuals, and all of us different. We're not just a sample of some stereotype of where our ancestors came from.

> created a clown character called "Uncle Rhabdo" which they attached to propaganda that tried to convince their members that this possibly fatal condition isn't serious

This is plain false. Here's the article by Glassman: http://journal.crossfit.com/2005/10/crossfit-induced-rhabdo-...

It does not claim the condition is not serious. It states plainly, I quote "a potentially lethal systemic meltdown" and "It can disable, maim, and even kill.". Yes, it also has a clown picture - if one can't take a bit of dark humor along with a serious topic maybe one should limit oneself to reading young adult fiction about vampire romance for now and wait until one can.

> There is a lively online community posting selfies from hospital

I've been doing crossfit for years. I've been reading social media from people in our gym and other gyms. Not once I've even heard or know anybody who heard about anybody who was posting selfies from hospital as a badge of honor. I do not deny, maybe there are people like that - there are 350 million people in US, and whatever form of crazy you can think of, there's probably a hundred people that have it. You can probably find two or three of them if you look hard enough. But presenting it as if it's a typical occurrence and in any way characterizes what happens in a typical crossfit gym is either profoundly ignorant if one never been in one (and they why write about it?) or profoundly dishonest if one have been.

I'm not trying to propagandize anything - it works for me, but if it doesn't work for you, there's absolutely no problem with that. But heading this rhabdo baloney dug up again and again is just plain stupid. It's ok to not like any system or movement or hipster fad or whatever you call it, doesn't matter - if it's not your thing, fine, no problem at all. But one doesn't have to recycle old stupid myths again and again to do it.

With regards to your disenchantment with travel, that's a pretty unusual band interesting perspective. Thank you.

Pirate Bay solves many problems and it will continue to exist in some incarnation until those problems have been resolved by some other, better solution.

For many, perhaps most people, Pirate Bay is literally the ONLY solution available.

I'm using Pirate Bay in a general sense to refer to Bit-torrent but also in a more specific sense as it applies to their longevity.
Agree :) Sorry I do want nitpick here as it's seen so often - "innocent until proven guilty" might imply that they haven't been found guilty yet (until). "Innocent unless proven guilty" I think is a better phrase :)

You could try intentionally visiting places in off-season. I've spent years travelling the globe on a budget, and I've learned this. You can travel even in the most expensive places like Japan for 10-30$/day if you know how to do it, and still have most every experience you want to have except for conspicuous consumption.

I actually do agree with you that travelling has a lot or drawbacks--and I never would have travelled for this long if I wasn't a refugee running from bad things--but when I read someone say they gave up on it, it makes me sad. It has been an enlightening and beautiful part of my life.

The big obstacle to this strategy isn't Trump's world view, it's the structure of the EU itself. They just haven't been able to agree on a hard line against any kind of Chinese trade abuses. This has been a problem since well before Trump was elected.
It's also not compressed at all - the english prose is 21 characters, over twice as long. Also the English prose requires at least ASCII, while the string of H can be encoded with a single bit each. 168 bits > 10 bits.

To be fair, it is faster to say, out loud, because our verbal "character set" is so much richer. A unit of pronunciation is roughly a syllable. "10 tosses, all heads" has only 5 syllables, while "ach ach ach..." takes 10. But this insight is a bit much to ask of someone new to the concept of compression.

Yep 100% agree, this is how both Vue.js and Laravel have succeeded with "donations" on Patreon which are actually companies paying for advertising space on the project's respective websites. Both are doing 6 figures annually in recurring "donations", which is almost entirely from $xxxx/mo tiers targeted at businesses.

I think the other thing that is better about doing things this way is that when a company is buying ad-space from you, it's very clear what they are paying for. With the current peer-to-peer setup that was shipped this week, I guarantee the "please fix my issue I donate $10/month!" problem is much more likely than it is with a company who is paying to have their logo on your website.

I get that some people are concerned about github strengthening its monopoly here, but that shouldn't be solved by preventing or opposing the improvement of the platform. There's a sense in which it's like opposing Tesla improving its autopilot tech because it further entrenches them as the leader in the electric car market - or whatever - you get the idea. Monopolies can lead to very bad outcomes for society, but we probably need to handle that by some means other than attacking improvements to the platform.

This comment of course assumes that you think that it is actually an improvement. It does seem like there is a risk of hurting the "spirit" of open source, but then you'd have to hold the position that things like librepay/opencollective/patreon are bad for open source, which at least makes the claim a little dubious. I don't have strong predictions here, but if I had to gamble I'd say that lowing the friction to rewarding content producers (of any sort) is going to be a good think more often than not.
What about Notre Dame as an historical document?

It has lots of information about how buildings were built in the past.

That isn't to say the new bits can't obviously be new, I'm not sure old buildings have to be static, they've evolved over 100s of years, why not continue that tradition?
Neat. I mean, I don't understand the mathspeak since I stopped taking math after calculus in college, but it's neat to see fun approaches turn into viable tactics for finding a solution.

By coincidence I toyed with the problem a bit this past week. Pretty difficult to tackle with a "basic" math toolbox (calc, trig, algebra, and some discrete math/number theory that's taught in many CS undergrad curricula). Much like Fermat's Last Theorem, it seems like this might require much higher-level math to solve what seems like a simple problem.
When people are out to get you and you see irregular behavior from people in the government, what is a rational behavior?
