"In the U.S., blacks are 12% of the population but commit 50% of violent crimes; can anyone honestly think this is unconnected to the fact that they average 15 points of IQ lower than the general population? That stupid people are more violent is a fact independent of skin color." -Eric S Raymond: http://esr.ibiblio.org/index.php?p=129

"A clash of civilizations driven by the failure of Islamic/Arab culture (though I would stress the problem of the Islamic commandment to jihad more than he does). I think he [Steven den Beste] is also right to say that our long-term objective must be to break, crush and eventually destroy this culture, because we can't live on the same planet with people who both carry those memes and have access to weapons of mass destruction. They will hate us and seek to destroy us not for what we've done but for what we are." -Eric S Raymond: http://armedndangerous.blogspot.com/2002_09_15_armedndangero...

When they dump it back in your lap, does that mean you're now on-call for your own service again? I was just curious how that looks, do you get an email saying you're back on the hook for a service because it's broken too many times?
It's my understanding that AMD's stock coolers are actually quite usable and fine for most people. So that might be one less price point to consider.

Would Diffie-Hellman (still) be a good way of exchanging secrets? ECDH?
Ah, great, thanks!
That's stretching the definition of violence to uselessness - by utilizing the term as such you're basically watering it mean very little, and to hold no weight in the accusation.
There are good formal cryptography courses, though some of them focus on aspects that aren't relevant to what I'd call "cryptographic engineering". For example, differential cryptanalysis is very interesting, but basically nobody except the IOTA community is silly enough to try and implement their own primitives, so that's not a common problem.

I authored Crypto 101. One of my cofounders co-authored Cryptopals and founded the cryptographic practice at Matasano (as well as co-founding Matasano itself ;)). So for cryptographic engineering, I think the answer is "historically oral, and increasingly written, tradition"?

I have the necessary wiring in my kitchen already. The volts went up, not the amps. I believe you’re assuming that I’m running a US dryer plug or something. No, the question was “which standard?” The assumption being that in this hypothetical world my appliances get upgraded, too. IOW, I wake up and I’ve got European 220V at 60hz with US plugs.
240V (or 230) is the prevailing standard.

As someone who loves servers and back-end work, Erlang is amazing to me. I too read that book by Joe Armstrong, but I never really got to use Erlang for much since I don't get paid to use it. Recently I was trying out Elixir and going through the documentation and was pleasantly surprised how much of it is Erlang-like.

I wish the industry was much more Erlang friendly.
I have often thought back to how great UML was. I had filed it under "distant history" when I thought about it last week...

Back in 2003 or 2004, I threw together a "virtual hosting" platform using UML. It had a web form accepting payment, and a few minutes later you'd have a fully running virtual machine. I put this together in a couple weeks leading up to PyCon, where we launched it. But we didn't really have the business savvy to take it anywhere, we never had more than a few hundred VMs.

We eventually moved to other technologies: VMWare, Xen, Proxmox (KVM). But UML was my favorite. (Xen was my least favorite :-)
Agreed 100%. I have T1D myself, in addition to 2 rare autoimmune neurological diseases that affect my peripheral nervous system.

Last time I checked (in March 2019), you could buy 13.5 [10 mL] vials of Novorapid/Novolog in Canada for 1 [10 mL] vial of Novorapid/Novolog in the United States. I am actually going to buy insulin in Canada on a trip in a couple of weeks due to formulary restrictions imposed by my insurance company (cannot obtain this type of insulin via insurance--not due to cost...).

It makes me absolutely sick to my stomach that people with T1D ration insulin. You cannot safely or effectively ration insulin with T1D, ever.

Anyways, I am one of the most stubborn people you will ever meet, but honestly, I do not see a future in this country (the United States). I expect the Affordable Care Act to be either partially or completely overturned next year (June-July 2020), based on the rare cases where the Solicitor General did not defend a case at the Supreme Court. Based on those cases, the likelihood of a partial or complete overturn of the ACA is staggeringly high.

I am trying to warn you that things may get really bad, and to be prepared. Consider other countries, with universal healthcare, in fact, even actually any country in the European Union. They will accept you regardless of the cost of your medical care, as long as you can get a visa. Same goes for citizenship, in the long run. No medical inadmissability restrictions whatsoever.

The Anglo-Saxon countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia) are largely closed to immigration, and the latter 2 have medical inadmissability criteria. Remember that.
In the early days, iMessage had some availability issues - the only way you could get/send texts for a couple hours would be to switch it off so they'd send as SMS.

There was also a bug that allowed a malicious message to crash phones sometime last year where the recommended fix was turning off iMessage (similar to this one).

Some folks probably don't remember to turn it back on after these incidents.
I never understood the meaning of not being a sociopath when most of successful people, achieved great things based on that. I'm not a sociopath and never will be but sometimes I envy those people.
Your incentive line in no way matches reality. In the past every vendor that is given an unlimited open timeline on patching has not. This includes Microsoft, Apple, Oracle and most of the other large vendors. Most of them are better at patching, but this is mostly because of the risk at of someone zero daying the patch and destroying the userbase.

Security is not an ideal world, in fact I would say it is the opposite.
Out of curiosity, what do you recommend for the use case you originally mentioned?
Depending on context the answer is "absolutely" or "absolutely not", so that's hard to answer. I definitely wouldn't tell you to use finite-field Diffie-Hellman in any context, or any derived cryptosystems (ElGamal or IES), no.
Wow, this is great. Thank you!
I'm interested in using this.
Well elixir explicitly try to not move away from the erlang paradigm and to be fully and "naturally" inter-operable with it. It is far more integrated with erlang than Scala is with Java as an example.

It is basically erlang with better tooling and still an easy use of erlang.
If you search HN history, it appears Elixir seems to get much more buzz. Saw this from a few days ago:

Elixir is just a slightly changed Erlang syntax?

>Hearthstone is already strong in this market, they have $0 entry fee and only charge for the cards. It's a pay2win game, some like/accept it, and some don't. I don't.

I play games for fun, and being destroyed in a game because of IRL money is no fun.

HS has actually pretty good system, I played it for first few years and spend almost no money on it (I got the adventure packs/tickets).

There are also a series on yt/twitch where players start from 0 and climb the ladder.

Given what HS could be I have to give it to Blizzard for balancing the free rewards to not be a grind-fest design to funnel ppl into buying packs.

> I realized that these circuits coincided with breakers on the right side of the box. From this, I found out what is apparently a common pattern: we have two 120V out-of-phase incoming lines together with a grounded neutral that is presumably the center tap on the secondary winding of the local transformer.

That's exactly right... this sort of split phase approach is common, at least in the US. Larger consumers can have 240V available to them and everything else is 120V. (Larger consumers can mean things like ovens, ranges, wall AC's, normal AC's, larger shop tools... the list goes on and on.)

Split-phase also has a couple interesting failure modes. A few years ago, we had a case where a 120V heater would cause fans in other parts of the house to speed up when it switched on. What was happening was that the neutral wasn't fully grounded, so when the heater switched on one phase, it pulled the neutral's voltage in a way that caused the other phase's voltage to go up. Once the electrician figured that one out, it was fixed with the quickness. (Not safe or good for electronics at all.)
Depends how you look at it, how many truly _necessary_ jobs can you create ? Certainly not enough to employ every healthy person from 20 to 65. These people still need to pay their bills, eat food, sleep under a roof.

We won't get out of this as long as we see unemployed people as the plague, in the meantime we'll see a surge in bs services (uber, deliveroo, hellofresh, &c.)
It costs money to activate it (or so says the pop up that appears when you set up an iPhone).

Also if I switch to Android I don’t have to worry about disabling iMessage before. (Not that anybody in my country would ever send an iMessage or an SMS though...)

Money is quite simple - it is the accumulation of value of individual work. The same way batteries store electricity - money store value of work. The same way batteries exchange stored electricity to perform work, money is exchanging stored value to work of others that we desire.

Feature phones also didn't have OTA updates. I remember taking my phones to service centers to get the latest software flashed. Later on you could flash it yourself with a cable to your PC, browsing esato.com for new versions.
Racket (which admittedly is a particular Lisp) has a very useful tool which lets you view each basically debug macro expansion by viewing each code transformation. This tool is even built into Dr. Racket so it doesn’t need any complex setup.

I’ve written both procedural Rust macros and Racket. Racket is far easier to debug and write macros compared to Rust despite their macros having similar features (in particular source locations and doing macro evaluation as a compilation step rather than at runtime).

> If there is 120V AC between the two wires, doesn't this mean that there has to be at least 60V AC potential between at least one of the wires and earth ground?

One specific wire is “safe.” One wire (neutral) is at 0V, and the other wire (hot) is at 120V. So it is “safe” to touch the neutral wire. In practice, there are various fault conditions which will cause the neutral wire to become unsafe, which is why we now have a separate earth ground.
These are great ways to live in line with your values. Kudos to anyone who does their best to minimize their GHG footprint.

But no this will not prevent climate change and it’s best people don’t get the idea that they are “fighting climate” change by any of these measures.

There is one thing that matters: organized political action. That’s it. If the worlds political establishment doesn’t prioritize this, we are cooked.

Here is what you can do:

* Learn about climate change
* Talk to your friends and family about it
* Make it your top voting issue

Most people don’t understand the danger we are in

I don't understand... tourism generates loads of local jobs. For example, most people who view a show on Broadway are not native New Yorkers, the reach that Broadway has on NYCs economy and the jobs it generates for locals is huge.
> "with default settings, the AOM encoder is slow, but as we have seen, that does not mean that the AV1 format is too slow."

OK, so there's currently no proof that AV1 is slow.

But arguing that "it could be made fast" is actually propagating the idea that "currently, it's slow".

There's no better way to convince everyone than pointing to an existing fast implementation.
Funny, I've noticed the same sentence, only my reaction to it was to feel intrigued to learn more about ESR... generation differences in sensibility, I guess...
Thanks, this is an even better summary than my poor recollections and quick wiki summary, which leaves out a ton of stuff.
Definitely. There are loads of EDCO people in that data.

(EDCO is Nalini Elkins' outfit, the Enterprise Data Centre Operators group - banks and that sort of thing, they tried pointlessly lobbying the TLS Working Group to get RSA Key Exchange back into TLS 1.3)

I don't have very good contacts inside that industry any more (I now work for a startup) so I'll be interested to see what if anything they _actually_ do about this over the medium term. Trying to promote "alternatives" to TLS? Deploying DH where the "random" private values are actually from a fixed or pseudorandom source under their control? No idea yet.

It is definitely true that some big name real world "security" companies will go out to a big corporation and tell them to mandate RSA key exchange in order to make the "security" product work because they want to do MITM. They're too cheap to do all the engineering to actually ship the session keys over the wire so they want you to just upload the RSA Private Key into their "security" product.

I got this mandate to require RSA Key Ex (at my old job for a B2B app I wrote) and was like "That ain't going to work, this here is a mutually authenticated TLS session". And I ended up in a bunch of calls in which more and more senior people from the "security" product team were brought on until they eventually found someone who actually knew how it works to say that yes, of course you can't MITM a mutually authenticated session without assistance from both parties, so the product can't work.

There have been recent peer-reviewed journal articles about how much insulin would cost to produce for each person with type 1 diabetes per year.

It is somewhere between $75-$125 USD for a person with T1D per year.

Remember, T1D is an autoimmune and insulin-dependent form of diabetes. Within 5 years post-diagnosis (if not much sooner) your body basically effectively no longer produces any insulin whatsoever.

It’s interesting how many highly paid managers can come and go at Deutsche Bank, do some experiments that will fail and then leave. They really seem to have no clue where they want to go. It’s pretty sad to see how a once solid bank had been managed into a shell of its former self.
> More concretely, that means if the person sitting next to me at work uses a smartcard granting them access to private documents, and they leave it on their desk during lunch, I can clone the smartcard and give myself access to all their sensitive files.

I'm very skeptical that this is actually possible with proper Javacards. In any case you shouldn't leave your smartcard lying around. And furthermore what kind of system uses RSA for document/disk encryption?
All this "growth" is largely driven by the debt and grand wisdom of the Fed's monetary policy. Those closest to the money printing press get undiluted gains and by the time that money circulates back down to the general population, they are robbed from their wealth by devaluing the currency. Furthermore, looking at the money supply, the banks aren't actually distributing and lending out that capital like they should. Long story short this is a direct causation of government policy.

As far as I know, there's no advantages between 50 and 60 hz. I suspect the difference was political, but maybe someone else knows more about it than me?

As far as voltage is concerned, there's a very good reason why most of the world uses about 240 volts for "normal" outlets. The American 120 volt system is fine for things like TVs, clocks, computers, ect, but it's horrible for things like space heaters and electric cars. When I see videos from countries with higher voltages, I see much larger space heaters than we can handle on our outlets. Also, electric cars charge twice as fast from an ordinary European outlet than a normal American outlet.

The cost of copper even starts to make high voltages look better. In my house I have extremely thick (expensive) wires running to my heat pump, but if I had higher voltages these wires could be smaller (and cheaper.)
3a. Doing ECDH (e.g. over Curve25519) and SIDH (or SIKE, the NIST flavor of SIDH) and hashing both together (e.g. with BLAKE2) is a sensible insurance policy against breakthrough attacks against SIDH.
