Whereas your crypto transactions are literally published on a digital distributed ledger for all to see including those self same companies. I thought the transparent, digital, decentralized public ledger was the big reason to use it?

Further, I'd suggest you read up on NFC and tokenization, it's not true that the companies in question actually do get access to that information unless they have separate-from-the-technology arrangements with payment processors.

In either case I'd rather be tracked than bankrupt.

> Can a Kong manufacturer build custom secure element chips that leak key material? It seems that a lot of Kong's security comes from the security of the little HSM, and if you don't trust the manufacturer then a lot of it seems to break down.

This is perhaps the most important question. In short, yes. We use an off the shelf secure element; if it's shown to be broken/backdoored it will influence a vast number of embedded and IoT applications.

> In addition, the paper cites the cost of decapping and side channel equipment as part of what makes double spends impractical. Given that they're fixed costs that undoubtedly many governments and labs already own, it still seems like it could be worth it for some people to extract Kong keys.

We cite fixed costs in hardware, but not in time. Certain extraction techniques would still take hours of time per chip. The secure element we're using has no published attacks thus far (which is not to of course imply that it won't be, simply that it isn't trivial).

What’s with all the negativity? I didn’t remotely suggest that WebGL or canvas ever lacked compositing, so I’m pretty confused by your response and where the attempted insult came from, or why. Maybe you’ve misunderstood. Browsers can composite elements without using WebGL or canvas, so sure most devs should know that. And, turns out they do. But most devs never need to interact directly with canvas or WebGL, so why would they know about the specific compositing modes? Most of the small number of people who do use WebGL or Canvas have never used any of the other Porter-Duff compositing modes other than “over”, and most of them have never used premultiplied alpha. It seems like no surprise at all that most people don’t know the minutiae and trivialities of what browsers can do using APIs that the majority of devs don’t use. To flip that around, there are plenty of WebGL devs who know compositing modes and yet barely know anything about browser networking, security, and caching features.

Just "Kawa" - not "kawak".

(There is actually a very-incomplete Common Lisp implementation as well in Kawa, but the Kawa Scheme dialect is the main Kawa language.)

"Chrome does this by learning your preferences. If you don’t have browsing history, Chrome allows autoplay for over 1,000 sites where we see that the highest percentage of visitors play media with sound. As you browse the web, that list changes as Chrome learns and enables autoplay on sites where you play media with sound during most of your visits, and disables it on sites where you don’t. This way, Chrome gives you a personalized, predictable browsing experience."

The inclusion of the "over 1,000 sites" list is what creates a distortion.
World's first fully electric commercial aircraft takes flight in Canada
You're both right. It's an older term from the early 90's when a router's selling point was being able to hit "line rate" with the smallest possible packet size. Example, how many tiny datagrams can you forward to fill that link. Back then, people were still doing lots of routing on general purpose machines and Cisco/Juniper were just starting to get into the high performance game.

These days line-rate just means sending enough traffic to fill the link at whatever rate you want. That's generally good enough for server folk since they just want to get you the cat pics ASAP.

That's not good enough for people running transit networks, since they care more about packets per second performance. Sending huge amounts of data is easy for them; what they really care about is PPS.

Aside, the next generations of router NPU's are trash in terms of PPS performance. I take that back, they're not trash. They're the trash in the dumpsterfire. That's how bad they are. We're fairly screwed there.

My guess is GoDaddy was looking at increased PPS performance either for DNS or maybe building their own DDoS mitigation framework (Arbor gear is pricey).
> We use an off the shelf secure element; if it's shown to be broken/backdoored it will influence a vast number of embedded and IoT applications

The scenario I'm imagining is one in which someone manufactures a note that looks and behaves exactly like a Kong but has known key material (i.e. a "fake" secure element). You can't verify that the secure element is real without expensive hardware.

And what is the vision for who can mint Kongs? If only the Kong developers can, then it's no better than USD. If anyone can do it, how will you guarantee consistent chips, construction, design, etc. between manufacturers?
> We can't inflate Kong infinitely unlike every other paper fiat currency. We can only print Kong for four years. After that the only digital Kong produced is via lockdrop.

So what? As soon as you share printing rights the other party can. So can anyone else who has the private key. Not even by minting new Kong but by physically duplicating existing Kong. That's a much bigger problem than a well controlled 2% rate of inflation.
Mitsubishi is starting deliveries of their regional jet next year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_SpaceJet

I don't think throwing more money at the problem will speed it up too much, they need to build up the institutional knowledge with smaller projects like this before jumping on a jumbo jet.
See section 2.2 in the whitepaper [1]. There is not an industry specific term that succinctly captures these requirements. Secure element isn't ideal but it's not an HSM or TPM. PUF's are a feature not a chip category. If it's programmable, we don't want to touch it. That goes for most smart cards / java cards. EMV cards specifically have 'get private key' API's which would not work for this application.

I know exactly how you feel and have experienced it in two different work environments, first as an intern during college (which only lasted 3 months but felt like eternity) and second as a senior level engineer for about a two year period.

Like some other things in life, people that haven't gone through this are not likely to understand the experience.

Since you care about increasing your employability I recommend that in addition to self-learning you also do the following.

Write up 1 or 2 short paragraphs that are mostly BS about the positive business impact that your work is having.
Break this paragraph down into small work tasks or interactions that you would have needed to have in order to accomplish.
Over the course of the next few months start mentioning those tasks casually when talking with coworkers. It is important to do this gradually so that people have enough time to absorb the false memories you are seeding.

Your goal is to build up a working memory among your coworkers of the awesome stuff you did while working there. You can then write these accomplishments into your resume and they will be backed up by your coworkers. Your manager especially will appreciate this as it makes them look like a great leader.

Good luck and keep yourself focused on the future!

Uh... peddlers still exist. Ever go to a holiday festival or parade? There's always peddlers slinging shiny, spinny, glowy, useless doo-dads.

Anyone who's lived in California has seen roadside peddlers trying to sell flowers, oranges, avocados, etc. Seems peddling is alive and well.
Suppose for a moment that you were some official, a military advisor let’s say, to the Chinese Communist Party. How would you recommend they infiltrate the US and gain access to information about defense capabilities? What strategies would you employ? What institutions in the US, cultural or otherwise, would you exploit?

I ask this only because it makes complete sense to me that someone born in China who immigrated should get extra scrutiny for a job like this. Maybe that’s just my own personal bias (I doubt it, though in full disclosure I am a veteran and am more sensitive than others to things like this for obvious reasons), but I can’t help shake the feeling that one side here is playing for keeps while the other is still reading the game’s directions.

This is part of the issue. Loan providers pretty much have to give everyone loans. But the only way this can happen is by guaranteeing these loans, federally and legally. So our solution to a problem backfired and we found out that federally guaranteed loans aren't the solution to "college should be available to everyone." Maybe it is time to look for a different solution. And maybe time to clean up the mess that the last "solution" created.
Show me one article criticising a US government for employing a foreigner with your line of nationalistic reasoning and I'll belief you.

The selection of the 5 from the 300 is randomly selected for each time each person goes to jury duty. (If it is in a category that few people select, perhaps prioritize options that hasn't been shown to people as often)

So, I don't see the issue with the "narrowing down the list of 300 watchmakers down to 5".

This ensures that some people become aware of the different new products.

If they find any of the products that they see to be remarkable, they might purchase it, and quality can spread by word of mouth.

Also, there could still be people who do reviews of products, they just legally couldn't receive any compensation from the people selling the products.
Why an I-Beam is so strong [video]
Sounds like an industry ripe for disruption. Crowd source that job with an app, and the primary money maker is all that data you get on people waking up. Use the block chain to confirm awakenings. Eventually the workers will be replaced by self driving cars, so we will invest heavily in deep learning. 100 million in seed money should be enough right?

I was once blessed with a z80 c compiler, hosted on msdos but targeting cp/m (maybe it was ported for use with embedded targets). Its output was 8080 assembler with the odd db here and there when it wanted to emit a z80 instruction. It shipped with a perfectly good z80 assembler, mind; the compiler just emitted 8080 mnemonics because reasons.

My own experiment has recently been a Z80 hooked up to an Arduino - which fakes I/O and RAM accesses to/from the chip.

I got as far as getting BASIC to run, but struggled porting FORTH to z80. Existing Z80 forth interpreters I found need almost 64k but wiring up some static-RAM hasn't yet given me a functional system so I'm hazy on what is wrong; either my real-RAM or the interpreter itself.

I'm not sure. Feels like opening Pandora's Box. Historically, taking big centralized things (like the Internet) and letting smaller players participate has interesting results. By taking a technology like printing currency, and innovating in the security domain so non-counterfitability is cryptographically guaranteed I would expect a cambrian explosion in cash-like instruments.
It’s only useless if you don’t know what perfect forward secrecy is and would rather complain than look it up. Yes, this feature is provided by Telegram and Signal (probably WhatsApp too). It makes it so someone who compromises your key can’t read all past messages. It’s pretty important. Future secrecy (key compromise doesn’t grant access to all future messages) is also important. Keybase only has forward secrecy for its exploding messages.

These are why I’d never use Keybase to chat even though it’s better than Signal from a usability perspective.

India is due to introduce a very strong Personal data protection bill in the Parliament today.

That's a no from me. I am not a huge fan of emoji. Especially not in the cli or editor.

Emoji are hard to type on non-mobile platforms, and are difficult to search for in logs or files. Often they don't render properly. They're near impossible to deal with from the command-line.

Not to mention the accessibility issues.

I see no reason why these cannot be accomplished with tags/flairs such as [critical], [bug], etc. These would also make sense to those not familiar with the Gitmoji system.

Don't make stuff harder than it needs to be. Emoji look flashy, but that's about it. Please use good ol' plaintext.
