No they are not. That’s one of the things that makes designing correct crypto systems difficult. Going the wrong way through most cryptographic trap doors is conjectured to be difficult but I’m unaware of a single one that’s proven.
Not to mention pass, due to its connection to GnuPG, can protect secrets using Yubikey that require 6 digit PIN (will lock after 3 tries) and touching the blinking dot.
Why not just dedicate a few resilient islands or even one super island where all nuclear power plant will exist and then electricity will sent to all countries in the world through sea water. Sea water is already conductive and we used it as global electricity transfer
I have been learning Haskell from these two books over the last 4 months: "Practical Haskell by Alejandro Serrano" and "Practical Web Development with Haskell" by Ecky Putrady. With other languages I usually just skim through a book figuring out how the basic data structures, flow control and operations then start writing a toy CLI app or server but with haskell I felt completely lost when trying to follow examples in library documentation, even after several weeks of reading books. So I found it's really worth carefully going through the programming book and doing the exercises, at least beyond the monad transformers section, before diving into real code. I'm over the hump and am writing & understanding working code now, but still a long way from the level of mastery I have with imperative programming.

I was chatting to Matt Studdert from Frontend Mentor and I found out that he now teaches at General Assembly in London where he went to learn to code. Pretty cool example of the self-taught/no degree route so thought I would interview him.
Too bad that Passbolt doesn't use native GnuPG for decryption. This is technically possible as evidenced by Mailvelope.

Does anyone have (a source to) stories about cable-cutting among telecom providers? I've encountered them before but now all I can find is this little lawsuit against Comcast:

https://copocetic.com/accused-of-actual-cord-cutting-comcast...
Lots of truth there, but there is an argument to be made about layers of security. If the second level of encryption is of very different kind than the first (different encryption library made by different people), sometimes the hassle with it may be worth it.

For example, some backup providers will encrypt your data for transport to their machines and then reencrypt them for storage. Would you trust TLS implementations in the path and provider's application to protect your data? Or would you rather encrypt yourself and only then let the provider handle it?
> my proposal would institute a “robot tax” on large companies that eliminate jobs through increased automation

What is a "robot"?

When a nearby canal was being built, they used steam power rather than people power. The local workers were angry because they wanted the work.

The Luddites in the 180ss were rightly concerned about how automation was replacing jobs which had taken years of training, with no consideration for those who were now unemployed. Their movement has since been used - incorrectly, IMO - to mean those opposed to new technology simply because it's new technology.

Phil Ochs' "Automation Song" (1964):

Oh I laid down your railroads, every mile of track
With the muscles on my arm and the sweat upon my back
And now the trains are rolling, they roll to every shore
You tell me that my job is through, there ain't no work no more
Though I laid down your highways all across the land
With the ringing of the steel and the power of my hands
And now the roads are there like ribbons in the sky
You tell me that my job is through but still I wonder why

For the wages were low and the hours were long
And the labor was all I could bear
Now you've got new machines for to take my place
And you tell me it's not mine to share
Though I laid down your factories and laid down your fields
With my feet on the ground and my back to your wheels
And now the smoke is rising, the steel is all a-glow
I'm walking down a jobless road and where am I to go

Automation is everywhere.

Word processors and computers have replaced many secretarial jobs. (Have you worked for a company with a secretary pool? They used to be quite common.) Are those not robots displacing workers? Who pays?

I'm for UBI in part because it's much easier to justify universal support than to pick and decide each how each job is affected by automation.

No you don't sound arrogant, our team is still learning. You are right we shouldn't have approached the way we did due to inexperience.

My team only did C, C++ and bit of Java in University and majority of the things they learned were more object oriented and procedural programming.

As none of them were trained in haskell, it took them a while to get to do anything. Moreover we were just working on web application bakcend, so they felt instantly productive in Python. We were not cracking compiler or some hard computer science problem, we were just doing run of the mill web application like Amazon marketplace.

So I said may be in future may try Haskell. Right now on a personal level trying lisp.
Am I missing something? Intel submitted a patch in 2017 that enabled support for a feature that was supported in their processors. 2 years later, AMD still hasn't made processors that support one of those features (AVX512), and only recently released processors that met the requirements for the other haswell test... And somehow this is labeled "cripple AMD"?

It would be one thing if Intel did this while AMD had processors that worked on it.. but they didn't. And code cannot tell the future. That's why we have programmers. They're supposed to change the code when it needs to be changed.
> What is this "direct link" you speak of? Did the shooters plan/recruit/organize their attacks on 8chan?

Legally, a "direct link" is irrelevant, you can rarely find a "direct link" between two of anything. What matters legally is whether 8chan was a "proximate cause" in creating the mass shootings. Whether one thing is the "proximate cause" of another is often pretty difficult to discern.

However, as a helpful guide towards determining proximate cause, lawyers ask whether one thing was the "but for" cause of another, i.e., would the mass shootings occur "but for" 8Chan? Put another way, if 8Chan did not exist, would these shootings occur?

Unfortunately, we do not have an alternative reality to play out events without 8Chan, so we cannot know for certain, but we can use evidence (e.g., 8Chan chats, how the shooter interacted with 8Chan and others on the service, etc) to try to simulate that alternative reality. All of this analysis also needs to consider related issues like freedom of speech on public forums and any commercial interests.

I'm not saying 8Chan is guilty or innocent, just that the existence (or lack thereof) of a "direct link" is pretty meaningless.
Not so comfortable. However, I trust the 1Password guys, I had some contact with the founders a couple of years ago, they even gifted me the iOS and Mac version, and found them competent and trustworthy.

The reason I went with the cloud sync is that I have to share secrets over multiple companies with all kinds of people and 1Password is simply the best compromise of convenience and security I found.

It could have just been “pick a computable algorithm that our framework’s UI can render”.

Until I don’t see a meaningful program, which answers to a few use cases of a user, I wouldn’t take that serious.

Edit: And the abuse of a framework is also something misleading, it is like saying “make an OS in a tweet” and then tweeting: “git clone linux.git && make all && kexec kernel”
What I'd be curious to hear about is how your servers handle simulating the game world. How many players are simulated per world and what are some of the tricks that you use to ensure the simulation doesn't fall behind, or if it does how do you make sure the clients don't notice?

I'm currently writing a (much much simpler agar.io-like) multiplayer game and finding it quite challenging to make the experience smooth, I haven't implemented any lag compensation yet though so maybe that's why but I wonder if that is the only problem. Do you or anyone else have any resources that could help me?

Modern wind farms are built offshore and with towers 200 meters high or higher. At those altitudes in such locations wind power is quite reliable.

Anyway, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. If nuclear power megawatts was worth much more than wind power megawatts then why are many new wind farms being built but so few nuclear power plants? It seems to me that those who put their money where their mouth is do not think the superior reliability of nuclear power is enough to make their investments profitable.
Why do you think the result of the double slit experiment cannot be explained using Schroedinger's equation?

If there is a problem at the time of the measurement this is not something specific to the double slit, the same problem exists with a single slit and in any detection of any particle ever.

I don't post anything political or flaming but I've no idea why moderators chose to ban me.

I've just one comment flagged in the whole account and it's things detailing my own experience.

But it seems moderators have their own agenda or why would they do this to me? Never received any warming or infraction, I wasn't even called out by them.

I've been still posting comments but found it weird that I didn't receive any reply to my comment or any upvote or downvotes, so I decided to ask my friend to check my profile and she told me she is unable to see any of the comments I made in past few days.

I am not even sure why would you choose to stay on this platform if this is what happens to the members here.
There’s value in any organization independently working out for itself how to land a probe on the moon. Multinational efforts like ISS are great but it’s often useful to have redundancy. If Roscosmos loses funding or there’s some catastrophe preventing them from launching Soyuz from Baikonur, I think it’s good for humanity that China can still launch their Shenzhou and America (hopefully soon) can still launch our Dragon or Starliner. Besides, as long as we still have national sentiment, I think it’s wonderful for an Indian or Chinese child to be able to have the same feelings of inspiration that American and Russian children have grown up with.

> And code cannot tell the future.

In this case it doesn't need to, I believe. There are ways to find out at runtime which instruction sets are supported, in a vendor-agnostic way.
I also never felt comfortable using cloud password managers. I used to have a KeePass file on Dropbox (with an offline key file) to stay a little more in control. Synchronization worked quite well but some month ago I switched to following setup to avoid Dropbox or similar services:

I have a KeePass file and use Syncthing to share it across all my devices. The keyfile is not synced and I manually send to any new device. Syncthing works well and most KeePass clients can nicely merge two KeePass databases in case of conflicts. Firefox integration with Kee.pm is really convenient.

For me this works really well. It was easy to setup and in my opinion it is very much worth it if you want to avoid third-party hosting.
What can we do to help them? I was thinking to create free programming resources but I realize not everyone can be programmer and there are already a lot of free resources out there?

I would trust them but I don't take the risk of "trust". There could be always issues which are out of your or the Password Managers control, e.g. crypto issues and also long term issues like quantum computing.

Due to this, I keep all of my passwords offline, as far as possible. For mobility and comfort reasons, I developed Authorizer (https://github.com/tejado/Authorizer):

"A Password Manager for Android with Auto-Type over USB and Bluetooth, OTP and much more.

The idea behind Authorizer is, to use old smartphones as a hardware password manager only. To avoid manual typing of long and complex passwords everytime you need them, Authorizer provides Auto-Type features over USB and Bluetooth. It pretends to be a keyboard (e.g. over an USB On-The-Go adapter) and with a button press inside the app, it will automatically type the password for you on your pc, laptop, tablet or other smartphone."

How so? Rust is much, much less complicated than C++, a language that's routinely taught to beginners. Python is far more complex than either of those, especially once you account for the incidental complexity in whatever "packages" you're interfacing with - Rust simplifies a lot of that stuff without giving up on performance.

In general, I'm not a fan of vulnerability quantification efforts like CVSS.

The reason is that they provide the appearance of repeatability and objectivity when, in reality, many of the assessments used are subjective and opinion based.

A simple "critical", "high", "medium", "low" will generally provide enough actionable information without pretending to be something it's not.

For examples of the weaknesses of CVSS, you only have to look at the software that uses it like Vulnerability scanners.

In many cases they have different ratings for the same issue and also have ratings which are nonsensical

here's one example.

Telnet (totally unencrypted protocol) CVSS v2 5.8 https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/42263

SSL Self signed cert CVSS v2 6.4 https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/57582

So using an unencrypted protocol is worse than an encrypted one with a self-signed cert. (and before anyone says "ah that could be because people mis-place trust in the cert", that's not a factor in CVSS calcs) yet the unencrypted protocol scores lower.
"Code cannot tell the future" is also the 2009 excuse Intel gave for icc not supporting processors that are GenuineIntel but not Family 6, incidentally. History is wonderful, isn't it? Back in the days we already knew what the still-current best practice to see what flags a CPU has is.
Many interactions are perfectly described by Schroedinger's equation. The interactions inside an atom, for example. Or the operation of a quantum computer.

What "occurs" (that's the part we don't really understand) with probability defined by wave function is "measurement" but not every interaction is a measurement. A measurement is the macroscopic effect of interactions (which may or may not be fully described by Schroedinger's equation).
I don’t trust them 100% but I don’t trust myself to keep a file-based one (such as keepass) working without losing the file either.

Read the bug again! The feature is about "transparently" loading libraries that are put in specific subdirectories based on the CPU so that a single configuration can work fast everywhere. Intel's Clear Linux wrote about that in https://clearlinux.org/news-blogs/transparent-use-library-pa....
"only recently released processors that met the requirements for the other haswell"

This is false. Zen was introduced in Q1 2017, before that patch was written and it already implemented all the useful parts of the Skylake instruction set (and also the SHA extension not implemented by Skylake). The fact that the CPU vendor should not be used when testing for CPU features was already discussed a lot, many years ago, so someone of the library maintainers should have noticed this bug and removed the inappropriate test.

About AMD not supporting yet AVX-512, that is far less annoying than the fact that Intel does not support AVX-512 yet in any of their CPUs which are actually competitive in their target market (Ice Lake is worse than Comet Lake, Cascade Lake is worse than Epyc 2).
100% correct. It pains me but restricting to a tree was a compromise I wanted to make. Why? Because visualising a graph in a concise way is difficult. The point of jumproot is to have very broad and deep document structures and visual graphs simply don't allow it (to my standards anyway).

I'm always on the lookout for a widget that allows me to display a large graph in a very dense way. Please let me know if you come across one.

That depends on what your definition of “is” is. When something “is” X only if the mainstream understands it without explanation, then you may be right.
I'm in no way defending Epstein in any way. It is horrifying how many people in this thread seem to be unable to understand that. I hope nobody of you works in the legal system. You have a prejudice, and you can only see what confirms your prejudice, despite nothing of it being there. You think I defend Epstein, but I never did.

I asked a question about a paragraph describing a scene of a guy visiting MIT Media Lab with young assistants (not teens, they were described s young women), and Media lab staff being concerned.

I did not have the context of Epstein already being convicted as a sex offender.

There was nothing in that paragraph about Epstein having sex with teens, and I didn't mention that, either.

I am merely of the opinion that in general, young women from Eastern Europe should also be allowed to work as assistants for old men. That doesn't imply I endorse older men taking advantage of teens.
Implicit in the premise of the chapter is that categories such as "Asian" and attributes like "better at math" exist objectively.

Gladwell never defines Asian, instead shifting between definitions that rely on nationality (cherrypicked test scores from a number of well-off Northeast Asian countries), language (where he brings up the Chinese counting system used only in some but not all Asian Languages), and ethnicity (where he compares Asian-American children to other American children, many of whom share little to no commonalities with the former two groups). He uses the classic tactic of generalizing these three groups as one through the nefarious concept of "culture", which is poorly defined and can not objectively measured.

He then makes the claim that "Asians" are "better at math" without backing up the point with anything other than cherrypicked standardized test scores.

Aside from that, he only shows vague correlations without ever proving causation in any rigorous way. Even if the Chinese counting system leads to a faster understanding of arithmetic, Gladwell does not prove that this leads to significantly better math performance. Likewise, he simply claims without any solid proof that growing rice is more difficult than wheat (what units do you measure that in?), or that this increased difficulty would actually provide enough pressure to create a "culture of perseverance" (again, what objective units do you measure that in?).

Individual claims in Gladwell's writing may be true, but they never connect together in any rigorous way to prove the claims he tries to make.
I could imagine a list 10X that size that still does not need even 400K lines of Python code, much less 4M.

I agree that people generally underestimate the lines of code needed to operate systems at scale, but having used dropbox, I'd still say that's excessive. Note, this is just the Python code, not the UI stuff or the golang or Rust. I've been in multiple 1M-10M line codebases at scale and I just cannot fathom with how with their product simplicity (not engineering simplicity) they could be at that size with a language as expressive as Python.

My guess is this is generously counting a lot of forked libraries. Ungenerously, it makes me think there's a lot of NIH syndrome.
Where did Epstein's money come from? He claimed to be a hedge fund manager for select clients, however in the aftermath of his rearrest after the Miami Herald series there were comments from Wall Street people that there was little evidence of how he actually made so much money. Pure speculation, but the original source of Epstein's donations might also prove a problem.
I'm more comfortable to store encrypted passwords at the cloud using a service, whose core business is to make it secure than any homegrown solution.

While I think in general it is also important to understand how such things work - how young girls are being exploited.

However, here I didn't even talk about his sex exploits. I only asked about a paragraph about perceiving a man with young assistants.
