Agree with you. That's how free market-based economic works, seeking maximum return. Inside an economy, free market tends to increase economic inequality and monopoly, which seems to be the major source of many things going on (Trump elected, protests in HK, France). When this happens, blaming Johnny Foreigner is easier..
Seems like a stretch as but when we inquire if mind is local or not it gets quite blurry...
The whole premise of the article is broken:

1. Every respectable cryptographic protocol designer would hedge their bets by combining a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithm with a classical one, preferable elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), such that you first have to break ECC in order to attack the post-quantum cryptography. ECC is great in that it is both fast, secure, its signatures, ciphertexts and keys are small. Every post-quantum algorithm fails in at least one of the categories, but as ECC excels everywhere, the overhead is basically bound by a factor of two.

2. Our focus can't be on choosing one PQC algorithm now (and keep it forever), as it is a very young field comparably (as the article agrees). Instead, we need to built up algorithm agility in our protocols and software, as we are probably going to change PQC algorithms at least once, when the cryptographic community has gained experience in PQC design/cryptanalysis and we switch to the second wave PQC algorithms. In practice that means: Never assume keys, ciphertext, signatures are small. Investigate whether it is possible for keys to have state (see Lamport signature). And the only way to show these properties about protocols and software is to try out some PQC algorithms now. (Why the urgency? Because software and protocol turnaround time is bonkers in commercial applications. Heck, parts of the payment industry still use single DES in 2019...)

Given that the NSA knows both of this, the question is whether the author was clueless or the NSA spokesperson is malicious.
>guaranteed instant death that, say a 25kV shock is

Also not true.

You can safely hold a metal rod into the air as a 20,000 volt tesla coil fires lightening bolts through the air and into your body then to the ground, because the coil is built in such a way to induce very little amperage across your body.

My point being, it's not just the voltage.

I was just imprecise with my language. What I should have said is "110v or 240v could kill you dead". And that is why the following sentences qualify what I was saying.

Household voltage is plenty to kill you, assuming the factors are aligned.

I have been shocked multiple times with household 110v and it was not pleasant at times and others it was barely a twinge. It all depends on how well you are grounded.

I had a very unpleasant shock once from a 12v car battery because I was sitting on the ground in shorts and fiddling with it somehow.
We have crowdsourced a bunch of tech recruiter emails from a group of students in this Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2054888934622756. It has helped many students get interviews compared to just applying online.
>Just because someone has an idea doesn't mean I have to immediately agree with it or like it. Feel free to disagree with me on this, as it would prove my point.

Exactly. I am very happy to be proven wrong, given the arguments against my position are good. A lot of people shy away from criticizing ideas, thinking that a person will take it as a personal attack (gotta admit, I am guilty of this too, if I don't know the person well enough to assume they take criticism well).

When it is the fight for the best idea or solution, I don't care how wrong I am, I care about finding the "truth" aka the best solution given the situation. As long as the criticism is directed towards the idea and not the person, I am just as happy, regardless of whether my idea won or not (as long as the idea that won had better arguments for it).
Furthermore this isn't "system programming", he just replaced a "user land" program with another. But I blame the Go team for turning "system programming" and "realtime programming" into useless buzzwords to promote their language.

I did actually click the link and read the whole Github issue thread, and the discussion here, before commenting.

But I was actually responding to the parent's comment (this is a threaded discussion, yes?) about how actual first-party ads are less objectionable than third-party tracking.

But thanks for adding your thoughts.
Yeah, that would be amazing. It would make them last a lot longer too.
No, because you have to live somewhere, but you don't have to write apps.

Another analogy: it's like someone having a big "please wipe your shoes" sign on their front door, and you walk in with muddy boots and track mud everywhere. They'd be entitled to be annoyed and ask you to leave because you broke the terms of their invitation.
Originally we were talking about the 51/49 ownership split for partnership. You posted a domestic contracting to satisfy Chinese government regulation? How is that related to the partnership criteria that we were talking about? You are comparing apples to orange here.
To me, the problem is giving away publicly owned land to people who don't need handouts. Charging market rates fixes that problem.

It looks like someone is grudge-downvoting all your comments no matter what you say.

I just want to add that I'm an Apple user and developer and I agree with you.

There have been past stories right here, when HN flip-flopped between taking a suspended developer's side and then Apple's after it turned out that the dev was not being fully honest. Lemme dig that link up.

I love Rambo (the dev) and the information he provides but he clearly violated the NDA. I wonder how the pitchforkers here would handle it if someone violated their company's NDA.

I'm also glad that big companies are under constant scrutiny so they can't bully smaller devs who don't have a voice as loud as Rambo's. In this case though, I don't think Rambo was bullied.
But you don't need 10Amps to kill you. Just a few hundred milli-amps is enough to kill a human.

I think the question is whether it's more beneficial to the founder to run one of those extractive $100m VC-funded moonshots, or the kind of business being proposed here.

I understand that this would be better for the market, or ecosystem or however you want to put it. But if in the end, the founder can take some millions from a VC-funded effort that didn't quite get where it wanted to go, that will likely remain an attractive option to founders.

Again, I understand why we would all want a non-VC-funded Patreon. But for the founder of Patreon, if they end up taking a few million dollars, this option being proposed here would need to best that.

And then on the investor side... well, has Bezos continued to make investments similar to his investment in Basecamp? If not, why not?
I think "undo" is the wrong metaphor for decision making. It's "safe to fail" or "acceptable risk" or "acceptable loss." You always lose time and opportunity at a minimum, but in exchange for new information if you are willing to pay attention.
I've been working for a few months on a database called Redwood that's intended to make it easier to build this kind of software. Having spent much of the past couple of years working with libp2p, IPFS, Dat, and similar technologies, I was curious to see what would result if I started from the ground up.

https://github.com/brynbellomy/redwood

So far, the model seems promising. It's fully peer-to-peer, and supports decentralized identity, configurable conflict resolution, read/write access, asset storage, and currently is running across 3 different transports:

- HTTP (augmented with extensions proposed by the Braid project [1][2])

- Libp2p

- WebRTC

I've included two simple demos, a collaborative document editor (well, it's just a textarea at the moment), and a chat app. Would appreciate any feedback or participation that folks are willing to give.

Argument parsing is hardly the bottleneck when you're scanning 1 GB of data. The reason I didn't implement the rest of the features was to keep the implementation light and readable, and I don't think a fully compliant wc implemented in Go with these patterns would be significantly slower.

As for having a low-memory footprint, 2 of the 4 implementations I mentioned (one single core, one multi-core) consume less memory than wc, and still run much faster.
Interestingly enough, they learned that increased neural signal diversity resulted, and when someone was "peaking" on DMT the brain was also lit up significantly. This is akin to the research found in dreams and R.E.M. but it's still rather inconclusive as to whether or not inducing such activity in the mind results in the associated conscious experience. Many materialists believe this to be the case, but this does not sit well with my understanding of Mind over Matter.
The pain with Google is that they go out of their way to ensure there's no way you can talk to a human with any decision making power.

Yes, which is why I specifically mentioned Tesla. They can install both the solar roof and their powerwall batteries as a package. It isn’t cheap, but we can start solving this problem right now. The people I know who own it are pretty happy. In terms of long term cost, it’s more or less the same as buying power from a utility like PG&E... the only problem is the upfront cost unless you find a solar & battery company that still has a lease option
That always reminds me of the parody anti-VHS-piracy warning I remember from an old Australian skit show from the 80s.

"FBI Warning. If you suspect this video is not a legitimate copy, please call the number that is not appearing on your screen to report it."
For a long time I did the distro hopping thing, before realizing it is pretty pointless (even if it is fun). Find one that works for you and stick with it. I'd recommend Ubuntu or Fedora (although I haven't used Fedora for the last 2 years or so) in a work environment, and maybe add Arch to the mix for a non-professional environment. Most of the feel of the OS is defined by the package manager + the desktop environment, so just choose a pair that you like and see if there is a well supported distro that has both (or just install the DE over the base distro).

For example, Xfce is a great DE that's available for Arch/Fedora/Ubuntu. If you have Xfce as the DE, the three distros will feel pretty similar aside from package management, so you'd just choose whether you like pacman, dnf, or apt better.
God I tortured myself growing up thinking that once I achieved the next big goal I would “be happy”. I don’t know why it took me 30+ years to realize that state was never achieved, I just have to be happy now without waiting for it to happen to me.
Of course they were. Julian Assange's explicit mission was to expose US (and other) intelligence secrets. If they weren't spying on him and his visitors they'd be derelict in their most basic of duties.

I don't even know why this is a story. I don't mind Assange, and I think the counterpoint he created to state power was good, but the idea that the state shouldn't spy on him in turn is ludicrous.
Great resource - thanks for sharing
You misunderstand my comment. And you misunderstand how electricity works. Had you been well grounded, you could have easily died. It only takes about 200 milliamps to kill a human.

110v/10amps is plenty to kill you. It's not the voltage that kills you, it's the amps. That is why you can touch a 20,000 volt tesla coil and barely feel a tingle.

My criticism is a testament to how good the pixel art is in CE1. My son and I love your game so I'll be buying the sequel, but I feel like you are going more towards the Renowned Explorers visuals which I felt was completely inferior to CE. That said, I looked at the new art and it is pretty awesome, I just have to get over it.

Your link to the Cube is great but how do you bring this up in a conversation? I'm trying to imagine being in a social setting, after having a long conversation with someone that's starting to peter out, and then ask, "So I've got a funny question: First I want you to imagine a desert...".
FTA: ”Our parallelized implementation runs at more than 3.5x the speed of wc, while matching its memory consumption”
What exactly do you think intelligence services do?

They do this, that's their job.
I don't get what's shocking about this.

If you have a consistent history of publishing a foreign government's state secrets that damage its national security, they're gonna spy on you.

And before the nitpickers jump in on me, I believe whether or not Assange actually damaged US national security by publishing leaks is a decision best left to people who actually work in national security rather than armchair bystanders like myself.
I'm pretty sure it was after 1972 :P

Does anyone actually find this "shocking"? It's pretty much what I expected.
You are right! So that's a Darwin oddity, still a wide char function is called in that code path, iswspace, which adds the function call overhead in a tight loop.
Yes, I was just trying to say that matching on multiple levels is rarer. I agree with you that automatically binding new variables is the best part of pattern matching.

What do you hate about email?
Hello everyone,
We're redesigning email from the ground up. Giving it a whole new look. A breath of fresh air.
Soooo... we'd love to know about your experience with email. Do you have any wishes or requests?

Appreciate your time! Have a nice rest of the day ;)
You should read the whole comment before contradicting someone. It really wasn't that long of a post.
Woops. I re-read my comment, and the "assuming they actually want anything from Pop!_OS to begin with" bit reads like an insult to Pop!_OS. My bad!

I just figure Canonical probably has a specific vision for Ubuntu (just like System76 surely has for Pop!_OS), so they don't necessarily want to pull in every feature from every downstream distro. The prevalence of purposed-focused distros is one of my favorite things about the Linux ecosystem.

I actually haven't used Pop!_OS yet, but it looks good and it's on my short list of distros to try. I didn't mean to imply anything negative about it.
I can't speak French, so my comment is based on what other mathematicians tell me.

Unfortunately, Grothendieck, Galois and as far as I know, Bourbaki is not fully translated. And unless someone actually spends many years doing it, a lot of it never will be.

I also think Russian is useful, especially to read some old texts from the cold war era. But a lot of the books are translated (but not the papers). Kolmogorov's books and probably quite a few others were translated not very long after they were written.

But, to be honest, I think knowing French and Russian is more of a personal pursuit than a necessity to access the mathematiacs. Galois wrote down very little and his memoirs (written by someone else) should be the interesting historically. Grothendieck should also be interesting, especially to see his unrelenting commitment to translate everything to category theory. However, for almost any topic, somewhere, in English, there would be a good source. Bourbaki was never really "completed" and I am not sure whether it's useful to read those texts (rather than the stuff that was inspired by them).

I can recommend Lawvere's books, especially Conceptual Mathematics since it's even accessible for high school students. My main interest is in category theory and set theory, so it may well not be what you are interested in.

I've also seen really useful stuff in the internet era, like Category Theory for Programmers by Bartosz Milewski.
If you really think that's true, you shouldn't have posted this. Because, you know, we're all out to get you, and you just gave us ammunition...

[Note well: I am saying this to point out that I think that you don't actually operate in agreement with your statement here. I think that's good, because I think that your statement here is mostly wrong and often harmful. I say this because I'm actually trying to help, not because I'm out to get you.]
There's a fundamental problem of "I want my credentials to be validated by some central service, but I don't want to give some big faceless company my information." The centralized login service can be used to track your activity all across the net. It's a lot of power to give to some people you don't know.

Worse, people's fears in this area are completely justified. Precious few companies have proven themselves to be contentious with our personal data. Some go as far as to repackage and outright sell said data for personal gain.

A decentralized blockchain-like system might work for this, but as far as I know it has not been attempted.

I second this while also mentioning that I have not let my TV connect to the internet. It came as a 'smart TV' but I just don't give it access to the internet so it is therefore just a 'dumb' screen with inputs

As others mentioned "systems language" isn't well defined. If you want to define a "systems program" as one with hard real-time requirements, then no, Go isn't a very good choice; however, the article defines it differently (such that `wc` satisfies), and demonstrates that Go satisfies that definition.

That said, it's better to use terms that map better to a set of requirements, such as "hard-realtime" or "soft-realtime".
Which state, the british, the US, or ecuador? Or all three? I get what you 're saying but this doesnt make it normal or ethical.

I think that a healthy plurality of us here don't even really believe that the state's existence is just to begin with, much less its proclivity to spy on those seeking to shine light on its indiscretions.

What does that mean? I don’t think the pyramids have been smooth for a very long time.

Also I am doubtful that sliding down one of the great pyramids would be particularly fun. Aside from the abrasion even a “smooth” pyramid would cause, I’d expect you’d pick enough speed up that the impact would kill you.

To refine this, it's not necessarily about giving advice unsolicited, but minimizing the personhood and agency of the person you are giving advice to. Sometimes giving unsolicited advice is the best thing a friend can do, but you need to do it in the right circumstances and in the right way.

Anyone who receives unsolicited advice often has reason to believe that the advice giver (a) doesn't truly understand the issue at hand (b) cares more about themselves being the giver of information than it actually helping.

Before you give advice, you need to make sure you've established trust. One way of doing this is to actively listen and communicate back what you understand. Many social problems involve an emotional aspect, which is why many people recommend acknowledging the emotions of another person.

Spewing a ton of information without listening doesn't build trust. And if you present it as something they SHOULD do, versus something they have the OPTION of choosing, that minimizes their agency. People don't like to be bossed around.

The reason why your comment is no big deal on this forum is that you haven't targeted anyone personally, so nobody feels like you are misunderstanding their personal circumstances or that you are trying to trump their agency.
Yea, the reference in the article is what made me think of when we used LORAN out on the ocean. I learned to navigate the ocean using only a compass and LORAN, which while imperfect was always good enough to get us where we were going. I think a system like LORAN could be revisited with some encryption and not take a huge investment, the only problem is I am not sure the cost would be worth it given the likely limited range to being near coastal only. Doesn't solve the problem of crossing an ocean and wanting solid, reliable positional accuracy for emergencies etc.
Doing the Math on Future Exascale Supercomputers
Step 0 is the really high-yield tip here because it applies in so many emergencies. The natural shout of "someone call 911" is so often less effective: even if folks aren't halted by outright shock or confusion, their disorganization and/or assumption that somebody else will do it introduces miscommunications and delay. Nearly everyone takes to direct, simple instructions much better and faster.
