Obviously it is all depends on the classification level of the platform in subject.

Military projects I've worked on, none of the known algorithms were in use. However, those are not available for commercial use whatsoever.

The author is right about one thing though, since if it is available in the commercial world, it is better off be called as "Industry Standard Encryption".
Compare UK crime statistics with countries that do not employ it and you have empirical evidence that says otherwise.

To be fair to the marketing zombies, I kind of see why it would be easier to sell "Military-grade" rather than "Standard".

To our definition of "Standard" this means up to scratch and implemented correctly to specification - to the normal folk this is probably interpreted as "regular" or "basic-tier".

I'm a very important and aspirational small shipping/accountancy/dog-walking firm. I don't want that potato-tier regular encryption - I deserve super-duper fabtastic encryption like the banks have.

Maybe we should call it Fabtastic Encryption 12.0 (people like numbers after their software).

I use RSS for everything I do on the internet: news, other websites, subreddits, craigslist, hn, even journal articles.

On pubmed, you can generate an rss feed from any boolean search string you want (some of mine are for journals, authors, or keywords). It spits out the abstracts and I can skim over hundreds of articles in not that much time and keep track of colleagues.
> Edit: my political commentary: this is the fundamental problem that converted me to conservatism from center-leftism. I believe it's not possible to create an equitable structure and a level playing field while the government meddles in the economy.

I'm trying to understand your change of beliefs, so honest question: is government setting and enforcing safety standards (which otherwise companies would reliably fail at), and pricing in externalities (e.g. pollution) considered by you "government meddling in the economy" and interfering with an equitable market structure?
I have plenty of (pretty much inactive) social media accounts that I don't even remember the user-handle or password to -- usually created to take look at the service, user-interface and goof around a bit -- I don't think I'll ever remember any of these (also, they were usually created with throwaway-email accounts).

I don't plan to travel to the US -- pretty much because of the reasons outlined here. But if I were I'd pretty much either had to lie or tell them that I don't remember any of my logins -- since I had them at one time, but I don't have any active social media presence anymore.

And what about github, stackoverflow, hn... are they social media -- I don't think so. But not mentioning other accounts that could be classified as social media is also a lie -- at least its an omission.

The strength of being a protocol and not a platform.
Every single Intel GPU they ship in their computers has supported VP9 decoding for years.

OTH, AMD GPUs they use in some models do not support VP9 in their DSPs; under Windows, AMD used a shader-based decoder for DXVA acceleration up until models with VCN (Raved Ridge APUs), which do support VP9.

They have just chosen not to expose it to the userland. In past, they did something similar with Microsoft's VC-1 too: there's not a GPU that doesn't support VC-1 hw decoding, but Apple never exposed it either.
In regards to "Patent Pending" or "Patented Technology" - these are phrases that are legally defined.

The salesmen at the company I work with at the moment (industrial/commercial IoT) have adopted "banking-grade" for laymen, and have learned to recite the algorithms and/or protocols for anyone who expresses further interest.

Stereotype incoming: This might be a cultural thing too. Military grade sounds like something that would play well to the American ear, whereas these guys are British.
Most of the software either claim it military grade encryption or bank level encryption, which is literally AES256.

Hi! John from Ghost here, had a quick look and can't see any issues on this side with the cert. It's a relatively new certificate, though, so there could be an old cache on an edge node somewhere which just hasn't fully updated yet.

They've got a lot of experience doing this since the conservative government started applying it's will to the BBC after choosing the board of directors. Ther'es no longer a sense of "balanced" and "unbiased" news and it's glaringly obvious just by watching their news for a few weeks.

Your freedom is primarily based on the amount of power you decide to give to others. Due to social media, a tremendous asymmetry of power has been created in the hands of a few. This power is made visible in areas that are slightly outside of normal jurisdiction, such as at US border control.

Our normal tendency is to want to regulate, but this can only be done to a limited extend. Too much regulation can stifle innovation or place too much power in the hands of the regulators.

I'm not arguing against regulation. I am arguing that we should understand that our social media use (among others) comes at a very high cost to our freedoms. Proportional use, (proportional to our ability to regulate or our willingness to provide asymmetric information power) is warranted.

Well he appeared to take files from Google / Waymo's repo on the same day as he met with Uber about selling Otto (before Otto even existed). More importantly, Uber very explicitly paid (and handsomely so) for Levandowski's capacity (and a few others) to create lidar-- Uber allotted 20% of Otto golden handcuffs to building a lidar.

https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/resources/editor...

If he didn't actually deliver / use Google's files at Uber (I believe they actually may have found he didn't?), he was clearly trying to get the tech in his head and build a crib sheet for what was to come later.

In any case, today he paid $2m in bail and is wearing an ankle bracelet GPS monitor.

Hi All, One of the founders here.

We Just opened up NextStep for anyone to try.

NextStep is a tool built to help SaaS companies improve their conversion rates. This is achieved by allowing companies to show targeted call to actions on the site itself. These CTAs can be used to nudge users to signup for a trial or promote content, webinars or mailing lists. More importantly, they can even be used to help the user through the funnel. Have a user who has only read blogs but never gone to your pricing page or sign-up page? Take them to a case study to help them make a decision. Have someone who has been to the pricing page multiple times? Ask them to signup for a personalized demo or offer them a discount.
The use cases are endless, the more content you have the more nudges you can build.

We have deep integrations with tools like Calendly, MailChimp, etc planned so that you can provide your users with the best experience.

Since the Sorenson Video 3 / QDesign Music 2 fiasco in the 90ties, Apple has pushed hard for MPEG codecs, and when they were insufficient, for homegrown solutions (Apple Lossless).

So they ignored free codecs, like Vorbis, FLAC, Speex, VP8, VP9, they would ignore Opus if it weren't in WebRTC (and still doing everything possible to contain it there), they are ignoring mkv containers, and also non-free codecs like VMA and VC-1. They know that ignoring AV1 in the future won't be so easy, but until then, they will continue push for MPEG and make use of non-MPEG harder.
Of all the things that I thought I would never see on HN. However, this is a technical review, and needs an advanced formal economics education to appreciate.

Untrusted why? Dig into the browser's cert details to find out. In Chrome devtools (ctrl+shift+i), select the security tab.

The other person who mentioned an SSL error said chrome said untrusted authority. It's a cloudflare-issued cert, dated Tuesday 00:00, so there shouldn't be any issues unless you've disabled the Baltimore Cybertrust root which backs cloudflare's intermediate cert. Or unless there was a transient error with the cert cloudflare was serving.
Like maybe they were serving a bad cert, but only at one of their POPs? While theoretically possible, it doesn't make sense that they'd have any untrusted certs around anywhere.

Goorm-The new Cloud IDE service is considered a perfect alternative to c9

It is used not only for actual service development but also for education in some universities. We want to grow by communicating with more world-wide developers! There is a free tier, so feel free to use it and give us a lot of feedback.
For me it is brewing, cooking, infusing vodkas, and gardening.

Cooking is an interesting one because I try to learn various cuisines reasonably well and some of the dishes from places like Indonesia are very complex.

All of these have the point in common that they cannot be rushed so they force a mentality of taking it slow, which I think helps with the time anxiety as well.
Most of the same corruption is happening in developed countries as well. It was bizarre for me to see so many common practices in American politics (lobbyists and corporations writing entire bills, companies funding political campaigns, politicians awarding large public money contracts to their own companies, insider trading in Congress) happening openly and legally while they would have been massive scandals in my "corrupt" home country.

This is very neat. It shows that Prolog is very close to being the holy grail of an executable specification language. But my question was about verification: TLA+ is not just used for modeling but also for proving stuff about the models. Do you have anything similar for Prolog? If yes, I would love to use it :-)

If you're only interested in the specification part of TLA+ but in proofs, that's great. But then it's not fair to claim that you can do everything in Prolog that TLA+ does.

That sounds a bit like marketing for marketing. I do think marketing agencies actually did loose a lot of influence in recent years. 15 years ago nearly everyone could hum the latest jingle from the newest ads and influence was indeed profound.

I have never heard this argument. The problem with nuclear power plants is that you always need the next generation plant design that solves the flaws of the previous generation. Almost every pro nuclear strategy involves new types of reactors that by definition haven't been proven. Of course we can always just build more current or old generation nuclear power plants which then strengthens anti-nuclear fears again.
That might as well be a shortcut, as in your brain has done 2*2 so many times that you have an immediate path for that fixed answer... if this is the case there's no actual calculation performed, as in you can't do the same thing for "what if you slice 73 carrots in half"...
