Not every position is physically demanding or dangerous. Its quite easy to move into different fields and positions that are not physically demanding and just require a little bit of critical thinking or smart work. This idea that every trade job is dangerous or will leave you disabled is insane.

If you don't like being an electrician, you could move over into HVAC and make twice as much since you have an electrician's license. I feel your view is rather narrow.

With trades you have the ability of taking a 2 week intensive program and getting hired for $20/hr right out of school. Its a way better deal than some liberal arts education that gets you deep into debt and qualifies you to be a barista.
Having a PhD is a bar raiser, it automatically disqualifies you from a lot of jobs that don’t have intellectually stimulating problems to work on. This is all fine and dandy if your area overlaps with a hot field, but not if it doesn’t (or is then but isn’t now). Right now, 95% of the CS industry jobs for PhDs are in AI.

The thinking advantage of a PhD is really valuable, its like an extended apprenticeship with your advisor. Also, it gives you time to look at things you find interesting (well, it should, sometimes not).
Themis looks like a more complicated take on libsodium, which is already the de facto standard modern crypto library. I'd use that instead.
Bit of a weird article that tackles broad economic policy to show how recovery from the recession might have gone faster. But it doesn't really mention any of the actual tragedies in my opinion - rise in inequality, decline of "good" jobs in favor of gig and contract work, out of control healthcare costs, and continued student loan burden on workers.
'nullc and I are talking about the same thing.
Sometimes if you send your device for repair to Apple you get a refurbed unit back instead.
Speaking for myself, I prefer reverse parking because it allows you to deal with the slower reversing manoeuvre when you’ve already got full monopolisation of the lane. Plus it makes exiting safer, easier and much less prone to assholery.
Kinda funny though because they're owned by Fast Retailing Co.
Er, how's that? To name some examples, many other western democracies compared to the US have the following set of policies, which would make for a far-right policy platform in the US:

* More restrictions on abortion

* Lower corporate taxes

* No birthright citizenship for children of foreigners

* School vouchers

* Mandatory military service

* Laws outlawing face coverings

* Less business regulation than the US

The American conservative think tank Heritage Foundation publishes an Index of Economic Freedom, which compares economic policies by country. The United States is ranked 12th, and is thus considered less economically conservative by economic conservatives than New Zealand, Switzerland, Australia, Ireland, the UK, Canada, and Iceland. Within one point of the United States there are also the Netherlands, Denmark, Estonia, Georgia, and Luxembourg. (https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking/)
$60 or even $90/hour isn’t that great if its all 1099 income. It isn’t bad either, but the extra payroll taxes and the need to buy an individual plan (if your partner doesn’t get you into a group plan) make it pretty normal.
I chuckled at that :)
There's no such thing as an objective reading of a text. All readings are subjective.

All models are incomplete - that's why they're models.
i recommend wordpress. you might need a plugin for the e-commerce part. although if it wasn't for the blog engine, maybe shopify is another good choice?
> it's wide open for replacement.

Totally agree there, but I'll remain skeptical until I actually see that adoption start to happen. Certainly it's not going to until there's a nice GUI. (It's kind of sad, actually. Wormhole has such a nice TUI that would be utterly trivial to wrap in a simple QT interface or something.)
Yes, but since most of us (I think, anyways) are working on Web-hosted software that stuff all matters. It also matters that an Amazon or Facebook has whole teams dedicated to developer tools, operations management, and so on.
I'm sure there was a question in there somewhere, but I'm not seeing it. I'm the author of the article that you're responding to. I'm happy to answer questions that I can parse as such.

You can do a lot better than OMEMO. Just use a serious secure messaging application: Signal or Wire are both fine options. Virtually every secure messaging application, including OMEMO, is better than attempting to make email cryptographically secure.
> It could be that this one pill you need is suddenly priced at a million dollars a pill and you cant survive anymore. (Hypothetically can happen in a totally free market).

No, it can't, because in a totally free market nobody would have monopoly rights to produce particular drugs or provide particular treatments, so if one provider tried to charge a price nobody who needed the treatment could afford, they would go out of business. If it proved to be impossible for anyone to make the drug or provide the treatment at a price anyone could afford, then that would be a failure of the free market, yes; but it's an extremely unlikely failure mode as compared with the much more common failure modes of government granted monopolies and government determined prices.

That said, in a democratic country if the majority shares your risk preference, then that majority can vote for politicians who will enact it:

> I would rather prefer that the government took this risk on my behalf of me and just charged me a flat rate throughout my life.

And that would be a form of cost sharing, which I mentioned--all taxpayers share the costs of expensive treatments, on the assumption that only a small percentage of them will actually end up having an illness that incurs those costs.

However, that still only protects you on the assumption that in fact only a small percentage of people end up having the costly illnesses. But the illnesses people are generally worried about with respect to high costs--cancer, heart disease, arterial sclerosis leading to a high risk of stroke, liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes--are not that rare. So either we keep paying more and more taxes as a higher and higher percentage of people have the illness, to the point where we are just as badly off as if we each paid our own costs individually, or many people end up not getting the treatments at all because there isn't enough money to go around, so the risk you thought you were offloading to the government is back on you again.

This scheme also ignores the possibility of making the treatments cheaper. But the way to do that is to allow free market competition; we don't have that in the US since prices are not set by supply and demand but by a combination of government agencies and private health insurance companies.

> In general there are some things where government intervention is needed. Police, Education, Healthcare and Pension as these things cannot have a totally variable cost decided by a free market.

This is not the obvious truth you appear to think it is. It is an extremely strong claim which is not at all clearly established by actual historical evidence.
> The point of `age` is that when you subtract out all these use cases from PGP and leave just the file encryption problem, PGP still sucks, and sucks way out of proportion to how complicated file encryption is.

For clarity: Is this an endorsement of `age`?
Sorry, but advertising is unethical on a fundamental level, with or without tracking. It’s psychological manipulation to create demand for consumption. Sometimes it’s about making people feel unhappy about themselves, and promising happiness if they buy your crap. Other times it’s just the old bait and switch, or other techniques. Either way, it’s about making people buy stuff they didn’t need, which I consider unethical and a net negative on our society.
> It is, however, not possible to upgrade or even reinstall the OS.

I don’t feel it’s fair to expect a vendor to actively develop major feature upgrades for a seven-year-old computer.

What keeps you from downloading and installing macOS High Sierra or Mojave on your 2012 hardware? Both versions still receive security updates, don’t they?
Also, a neutral description of the things used without a warning per se should be fine for consumers who care about avoiding them.

I seriously doubt that... The most expensive set of high quality appliances sold in the U.S. like Thermador and Bosch are manufactured in Turkey.
`age` is awesome. We wrote something almost identical to `age` internally at Latacora that has some features `age` doesn't have (encrypting optionally to KMS keys, and managing encrypted DMGs), and I'm going to kill that tool off and add those features to a local fork of `age` instead.

Do you with others? In particular, with children? Then it's crucial that you have an office or similar with a door you can shut. Then you have to nicely train everyone you live with to not do things like shouting to you through the shut door on the assumption that you're free because they can't hear you listening to a conference call.
> We all use absolutes, because an ideal which seems to exist apart form time, space, and circumstance...

A 100 year old typo!

I always understood that the terms liberty,freedom,independence,slavery,bondage and servitude must imply a subject to have meaning. Two persons can talk about liberty but they presume the other person agrees the subject of the term in the listener's understand is the same as theirs. I think that's what the author means. But also, it's not just an ideal that is the subject but specific person(s).
But a domestic car production would be all about PPP.

Right? RIGHT? I keep saying: everyone I've ever taught `wormhole` to does the same thing I did when 'lvh showed it to me: immediately and gleefully wormholing everything. It's such a great tool; the good people of the world deserve it.

It kills me that so many UI-type people build new encrypted email systems and nobody works on putting solid UI on cool-kid crypto like `wormhole`. It's such a high-impact project and it's missing exactly the skillset these people are strongest with. I mean that sincerely: as I think is obvious to everyone, crypto people can't do UI to save their lives.
That's my company.
Does Scale AI use trained human annotators to label point clouds for customers or do they have a trained model that they use to quickly and automatically label point clouds for customers?
> If they really want to encourage reuse of their devices, why would they incentivize the users to turn their devices into unusable trash by giving them credits for doing that?

It's another alternative. Some people just won't bother trying to resell it.

Side Hustle or Full-time Job
I have been wondering this for a while and thought this would be a good place to ask. Assuming goal is to maximize money, should you

A) Just barely do your full-time job (enough to not get fired) and focus on building something on the side. (think indie hacker)

B) Give 100% of effort to your full-time job, get those promotions and bonuses, keep switching companies every 4 years maximizing pay etc.

for comparison, let's assume a typical software engineer job at FANG.
Engineering is one of the few fields where this is true. For the vast majority of college degrees this is not true.
Thanks, my impression with Shopify is it's optimized for offline products (like clothes), but I'll give a quick look.
We're talking about the same thing.

I saw that it used a streaming AEAD, but that's actually what inspired my question.

Since (from the github page) it reads stdin, it can't two-pass the file.

So it appears that if you hand it a file with midstream corruption it's going to feed a truncated input down your pipeline.

That has consequences. They may well be less serious consequences than buffering a potentially unlimited amount of data in memory :), but it's useful to make the behavior very clear because it wouldn't require too advanced an idiot to make something that was exploitable on this basis.
I don't think that's what he's arguing. I think he believes there are some people who

- grew up in deep poverty

- graduated highschool with the grades/SATs to get into a STEM program

- didn't get enough grants/loans to go to college

- would have gone to college had it been free

- and would have graduated with a worthwhile degree had they gone

but they're outnumbered by their peers who wouldn't benefit from free college, but would still have to pay extra taxes, or receive less in benefits to fund a bunch of upper/middle class kids art pursuing history degrees.

That's an un-answerable question, we can't even predict what economy will do next year
My understanding was that a lot of times, say you go to a PC recycling center, they will take working, reusable parts and build machines out of them to sell/donate to others. They only recycle raw materials as a last resort.

What you and a few others are saying is that a recycling center shouldn't be able to resell parts wholesale if they find a buyer or a good use that the original owner did not. Seems legit to me and perfectly within their rights and my expectations of what they do. I think there is an argument here about the definition of a recycling center.
Their kids aren't going to have the same motivation to work as hard as the previous generation moving from whatever class they were in to the elite.
None of that matters at a local scale. Your local church running a food bank to support your neighbourhood wants practical grocery items that feed families in a dignified way.
I admit I grievously misworded my query, but (something like) Magic Wormhole seems to be the answer to the question I was meaning to ask.
It's Rogaway's STREAM scheme from https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/189.pdf. Are you pointing out a problem in the paper, or in some specific idiosyncrasy you see of how it's implemented here? If so: what is it?

The AGL post the spec links to directly talks more generally about the high-level strategy: you're buffering chunks of files. You're only ever releasing authenticated plaintext. If you're piping to something processing plaintext on-line, that thing might need to wait for the end-of-file signal before processing or else potentially operate on a truncated file (by some integral number of chunks). `age` is still just a Unix program.
I'd recommend giving "DynaList" a look as well. Use it daily.
They certainly don't work for me. I have to pay something between 20-80% of all my income and financial gains to governments despite the fact I don't agree with anything they do, or with their existence. I never signed a contract with them agreeing on that sort of taxation, and if I don't pay the taxes the government imposes on me I can have my property taken away from me, get arrested and even be assassinated. I also have to comply with laws that are created out of some old man's ass, "respect" the police and the military otherwise they will kidnap, torture, or kill me, etc.

That said, I don't advocate for anything, nor I think revolutions or reforms would "fix" a centralized system that persists on the basis of the monopoly of force, such as the so-called "democratic" governments we have all over the world.

What I think, however, is that those centralized systems will inevitably and progressively fail due to their own inefficiencies, and as the transaction costs [1] diminish. As that happens, the centralized state's functions will leak into the decentralized market, until the state loses its ability to hold a monopoly of force.

I think we're a few decades away from seeing the end of the governments and states as we have today. The "alternative" will be a free, decentralized market that will emerge progressively as the governments disappear. We don't have to do anything "special" for that to happen. Just sit down and observe.

Since this seems to be the thread where everyone mentions the RSS feed reader they use/write, I'll share Brook. It's a very minimal feed reader that gives you what you need and gets out of the way.

You can use it in Firefox right now, and if anyone is interested, I'll port it to Chrome. Honestly I wrote it because my old favorite feed reader Sage wasn't supported after Firefox switched to the web extensions standards.

Give it a peek if you either want to see how it works, or you just want a simple way to browse your favorite sites in your browser.

Their business seems to be “raising awareness”, as if there are people out there that are still unaware of breast cancer.
It takes a bit of getting used to but VSDC does fill the Movie Maker spot pretty well. The hard part is that things are in a few menus, but once you got that down, it's pretty good.

Edit: Not Open Source though, woops. Still a good sibstitute since Microsoft doesn't host Movie Maker anymore.
Every chip design created also has a large number of test vectors created with it. If the test team has done their job well then those will include random fuzzing and power monitoring like you mention.

As I read this article I thought about this as well. Every chip is tested as part of the manufacturing process, but as Bunnie points out, to be really secure you can't just trust the manufacturer when they say the tests all passed.

If there were some way to run all the tests on the finished silicon product myself, would I trust it? It's very hard (expensive, time consuming) to test everything in a modern chip, however, it would certainly make it harder for a malicious mask change to go unnoticed.
I disagree. Luxury cars depreciate in value just like any other car. The right school is an investment in future income by way of the people you get connected to as well as what you learn and build a career off of. It's what you make of it, though. It's not an easy road no matter what. Is it worth it? Maybe. Or you could fly to Vegas and put it all on black at roulette, I guess.
Even though the college premiums might be declining, I don’t think your logic is supported by this article at all. The stats in this article show postgraduate degree holders earning 3x what non-graduates earn, and accumulating 5-10x the wealth.

Honestly, if you're unhappy with your work it's worth looking around. I'd just think about what you would find fulfilling, because it differs from person to person.

A good framework is from the book Drive by Daniel Pink. He argues work motivation can come from (a combination) of three things: autonomy (being able to self-direct your work), mastery (being good at and improving at your craft), and purpose (seeing a connection between your effort and some impact you care about). Which of those matter more and in what way are unique to you. If you care about mastery and intellectually stimulating work, you should seek it out. And not all challenges are purely technical, sometimes there are interesting product or team challenges as well. On the other hand if you're happier working on some mission you're passionate about, maybe that's more important to look for.

I just felt like you held too much reverence for FAANG type companies. They are obviously successful and full of smart people, but may not scratch the itch you're looking for.
Work friend married a Thai American lady. First few years were fine. Then they had a baby girl and his mother in law and aunt's thumb came down hard.
I disagree. Electric toothbrushes need to be 100 % waterproof to be usable safely. If I were a toothbrush manufacturer, I’d at least look into making the brush self-destruct when opened, for safety reasons (and safety reasons alone).
The classic example of a Giffen good is a staple food like bread:

As Mr. Giffen has pointed out, a rise in the price of bread makes so large a drain on the resources of the poorer labouring families and raises the marginal utility of money to them so much that they are forced to curtail their consumption of meat and the more expensive farinaceous foods: and, bread being still the cheapest food which they can get and will take, they consume more, and not less of it.

It is bizarre we have our vice age at 21 but the age of adulthood is 18. You are responsible enough to vote, serve in the military and be charged as an adult in a court law but not responsible enough to drink or smoke.
Not that I disagree but just a quick note that Filippo is very much a part of the cryptographic community.
Can we just tow a large solar array behind us, barge style? Could someone work out the drag equations for that?
As the article discussed, people generally want free speech for the things they approve of, and restrictions on speech about things they think are bad. There are some things that seem to have overwhelming public support, like bans on child porn, terrorist videos, and copyright violation. I'm thinking of specific events like the Christchurch shootings, where there was a lot of public outcry along the lines of "such things shouldn't be allowed on the Internet", and 8chan was eventually kicked off Cloudfare. I guess when people want something banned, they want it gone for good, including from the likes of Tor hidden services. But that won't stop them from going to the same kinds of services to access some information that they think has been unfairly banned.

I also find it ironic to be censored when commenting on topics related to censorship, or at least greyed out to -4, which is about as much as can be achieved without moderator assistance, I think.

This is a thoroughly American debacle brought on by Bill Clinton and abetted by every US President since then. Their simplistic idea was to make education "affordable" for all, and in their infinite wisdom, they fucked up higher education beyond all recognition. They invited Wall Street bankers to come in and wreak financial havoc. The schools were all in on the scheme, so if they eventually all go under, remember, they have it coming.
Most people are never going to be able to access the equity unless they retire and downsize.

And people end up in situations where they can't make payments and have to walk away and take the credit hit all the time.

Worrying about the theoretical amount you owe instead of the actual amount you have to pay is just dumb.
