I’m very curious as to how you define “work[ing]” in the context of a currently operating government. It would seem that democracies all over the world “work” for quite a few more people by ratio than other forms of government.

I’m also quite curious as to if you have alternatives; it’s all well and good to bash democracy, especially in the current moment, but are there better realistic alternatives? Are you advocating for revolution?
I have friends with stem phds who aren’t making tons of money. But, I think in general, stem degrees pay well.

I try to use reliable data sets [0] to help understand because anecdotes are hard for me to make decisions. The data are almost always a few years old so they aren’t perfect and could miss a new trend. But it’s the best I know how to use.

No, not at all. Go uses the stack for most variables so it's a lot less heavy on GC than Java.
I found their new cashier system even more impressive. The cashier literally has to put everything on top of this plate and everything gets scanned at once. I hear the Uniqlo in Japan has this self checkout system that has this plus automatic bagging.
You know they are in the middle of a debt crisis, right? The issue with Turkey specifically is that they borrowed a ton of EUR, they borrowed a ton of USD, they don't earn much of either, and the currency has halved in three years or so...oh, and they can't raise rates because the President thinks that high rates are part of a Jewish-led conspiracy to bankrupt Turkey...you really can't make this stuff up.
I don't think your first dash is correct. It looks like they just integrate the curve in figure 4, multiplied by a 5% discount. This includes both tuition cost and missed work during college. Also, it's not really fair to represent this as a difference in lifetime income because of the discount rate: the college attendee makes significantly more than $100k more over their life, but the gains accrue later in life while the cost accrues earlier, so the discount rate makes the benefit smaller.
Hi Akina. Sounds like an interesting project, but my concern is that your title sounds rather demanding. In general, length until the request substitutes for politeness in English so I think better alternatives would be "Would appreciate your feedback on something I'm working on." or "Would like feedback on a project of mine." The word "want" is also rather forceful for someone who is soliciting other people's help. Just cultural tips.

I know we encourage a culture of straightforwardness on this site, but in my experience even people who say they want succinctness still get offended and/or take the wrong meaning away from direct statements.
You are right. I can't get home depot to throw something off the truck for less than $200 broken. (And deny it showed up). So, where you are, where you live, I envy it. I imagine a world of nice plumbers and helper people. Canada????
I have a degree from a state school in chemistry, it's been worth it for me. In part because the GI Bill paid for it, but it also landed me several jobs writing software where domain knowledge is required and not so easy to come by without formal education.
How well would have Ghandi fared if he were not in the British Empire?

This is great, it fills a gap that I've long defended as PGP's remaining legitimate use case. Of course, now we just need to work on the adoption problem. Despite the fact that PGP adoption is a well-known joke in itself, all the tools designed to replace it (with the exception of the IM space) have somehow managed to achieve even lower use rates.

It's been almost five years since Magic Wormhole first released, and about half a year since that popular Latacora post recommended it for transferring files, and said "Someone stick a Windows installer on a Go or Rust implementation of Magic Wormhole right away". Guess what you're still not going to find a reliable Windows build (let alone a GUI) for? Yep that's right. Despite the fact that most of these projects come from a felt need for better alternatives to PGP for the average user, very few of them have actually come up with a product that's more accessible to the average person.
Exactly, they work to maintain it despite forces working to erode it.
Will RISC-V have any effect on this? Is there a way to use RISC-V that solves at least some of these problems. It seems like it should be a priority to solve this no?
How about copying them from valid machines then?

May be they generate new tokens for every request and one set of the key is in hardware itself protected.

Such a waste of tech and resources to not let use the very things which they purchased.
It's linked right from the spec: it's a streaming AEAD construction, and getting that is literally one of the motivations behind the tool. It does not buffer the whole message in memory, or fail to detect truncation.
Unfortunately no. I may be wrong.

However I think plan9 started as a skunkworks project well before Unix v9 was released.

You could also partially prevent this using vpc endpoints for s3. You can set the bucket policy to only allow if the connection is via the endpoint (vpc) so the bucket's no longer internet accessible. Vpc endpoints also reduce traffic charges since you pay for internal AWS bandwidth instead of internet bandwidth.

I'm kind of surprised AWS doesn't just enable VPC endpoints for all services by default. Having to leave the network to talk to services seems like overkill for most things.
It is absolutely debatable. Moreover, why would you post something on a public forum like this that wasn’t debatable? This rhetoric is a bit lazy and baity.
LinuxFromScratch.org might be up your alley, though I suppose it's still one level higher than actually writing your own kernel.
There is now a solid Go implementation of `wormhole` (it's my daily wormhole driver). It works on Windows. It just needs a UI.

Since PGP has almost no serious real-world adoption (search your feelings; you know it to be true), it's wide open for replacement. People should use `wormhole` for file transfer in preference to `age`-encrypted files, if the only reason they're encrypting is to get the file safely across the wires.
Decathlon[0] also has a similar self checkout system where you basically dump all the items in a box with scanning built in and everything gets scanned immediately. Very efficient.

just want to add something that seems missing from much of the discussion of higher education; consider the question rephrased as, "is it worth learning to learn?" higher ed is not just job training. its exposure to ideas, opinions, people, and energy in an environment explicitly not tied to a profit motive. it should be cheaper, and more accessible, but..
Bluetooth is the biggest joke foisted on audio. Even at its best there is mandated compression, which means the highest quality signal will be mashed into a lowest common denominator piece of garbage.
Fair enough. When it comes to career advice, I prefer anecdotes to large data sets, because there are far too many variables, and it's too easy to torture numbers.

Can you please take my VP’s job?

I manage a team of 10 data analysts. My life has turned into a hell of meetings 8-5, with any gaps dedicated to 1-1s or meeting with my team. Then I do email and some of my own coding on weekends. 60 - 75 hrs per week is normal now.

Complained to my execs about it and they just gave me a retention bonus but no help.

I love my job but am going to have to quit because of this.
It's so weird hearing what people are doing instead of PGP, and how bad it is. I had no idea vim even had this feature, but from what I've discovered in about 3 minutes of Googling, vim's "blowfish2" is the 64-bit-block Blowfish cipher in unauthenticated CFB mode. Just awful: Blowfish is weak, and attackers can manipulate the ciphertext of your files. This is why you want `age`.

Even 256kHz 48-bit can't even get close to what I need when it comes to pitch-shifting an audio sample up even one single octave. It produces audible 'warbling' like a poorly-encoded MP3, or a badly-fatigued guitar string.

We aren't close to peak audio, yet.
Yeah, but using sheet sheet metal dies that were on death's doorstep wasn't it. Plenty of other companies did that back in the day.
I see no reason to believe that ignorance decreases the human desire to act politically.
I wonder if they’re defining “active users” as not only people who open the Apple News app, but also people who happen to see Apple News headlines in that Today View screen (the screen left of the home screen). I’m still using an SE so can’t be sure of this, but I’d bet all new iPhones still default to Apple News piping into that view: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/view-news-stories-in-...
That is the exact opposite of the early stage VC model, where the few hits pay off the numerous misses.
Are the emergent properties of a near random system preferable to live alongside/underneath? I suspect your answer mostly depends on your current socioeconomic status and overall faith in “the system”.
We need a protocol/scheme that other things can adopt much more than a tool. There will always be a reason why someone can't use a tool,but with an encoding/scheme/protocol you can push for different things to use it.

To give an example, I was in a work situation more than once where an external party wanted to transfer files to or from our company and I was suppose to help find a standard tool/method. The only (and I mean only) way right now is pgp due to it's ubiquity with s/mime on email being second. We do need great tools like this but we need them to where if I can't use it due to license,policy,etc... Issues i can use a separate compatible tool.

So, My only suggestion to the author is to please make a fixed and versioned standard out of the scheme.
Bread kneading and shaping can require considerable technique and experience. There are tomes written about this stuff (and some good youtube videos that can shortcut some of it.) I’ve been baking maybe 5 years but it wasn’t until I started making pizzas several times a week that I got a feel for how dough should behave. Then other hydrations require more experience. Make one bread 50 times and I guarantee you will be a lot better.
> If they are making cars more expensive, they are improving quality of life. Less death, less pollution, less huge cost of extra traffic and roads and hospitals.

That's assuming that they're bringing the expense of cars more in line with their true cost including negative externalities. Once they're increasing the expense beyond that, it's a net QoL decrease.
I came here to say something similar. You're right to point out baking powder, because it's a mess. Think it's all the same chemically? Nope. Different brands use very different chemicals that can affect lift, and it can vary over time for the same brand.

Just about everything is like that. Whole wheat flour? Different bran and gluten percentages create really different loaves.

Pretending weights will solve everything is nonsense too. If humidity affects mass per volume, it's going to affect chemical identity per mass too.

Finally, everyone has different tastes. You might like a finer crumb to your bread; your spouse might like it more holely.

Recipes are like guidelines. Always. Experience matters because it reflects knowledge of how variations on the recipe matter.

Finally, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that a lot of things in cooking get passed down as critical when they're not, or even worse, are detrimental. This goes for traditional knowledge handed down, as well as half-baked "scientific" approaches to recipe development that are bad science and driven by a desire to establish authority above all.

Agreed for two out of three but I've never used Photoshop. I think it's worse for confluence. There are viable alternatives to jira but I've found nothing even "good enough" to replace confluence and it sets a very low bar.
Agreed. One of the best features of small "d" democracy is that it lends the government a pretty powerful argument for legitimacy. Which is perhaps the most important feature a government needs to last.

Edit: Consent of the Governed is probably the most powerful legitimacy arguments there is beside maybe Divine Right.
Does PPP matter for that particular comparison? I'd have assumed that BMW and Porsche prices are fairly PPP-agnostic.

Recycling electronics is extremely difficult and non-trivial. See the Netflix series “broken” -> plastics for a deep-dive. If the company claims it’s super environmentally friendly, it should incentivize reuse of existing products. Instead it’s saying, “want a discount to spend more money with us? Great. Let’s get you a discount by creating an extremely difficult and mostly unrecyclable paperweight out of what you have, first.” They could have said “refer a friend and we’ll give you a discount” etc
A protocol for what? To send messages securely? We have that. To do deduplicated mass backup? That exists, too. To securely transfer files? We have that as well. Each of these problems makes their own demands on cryptography and deserves their own purpose-built cryptosystem, which is why Signal looks like Signal, and not a naive message bus over which we push PGP-encrypted records.

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.

So instead of bringing all of PGP's bloat, 1990s cryptography, and misfeatures to bear on that simple problem, we just get a simple, modern tool optimized for that one problem.
> NSA recommended people stop using ECC <384 bits (https://apps.nsa.gov/iaarchive/programs/iad-initiatives/cnsa...).

Yet they are still fine with AES-128, even though it is objectively a weaker link in the chain. See https://blog.cr.yp.to/20151120-batchattacks.html
They are all done by 49/51 JVs, so it isn’t Toyota making the cars, it is GAC Toyota. My observations are all anecdotal and shared by Chinese colleagues when I was working in China. They are starting aggressive programs to automate (e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/12/business/a-robot-revoluti...) and quality should improve over time.

Note that it doesn’t really bother most people because while the defect rate is higher, the mechanics to fix those problems are cheaper as well.
Even in the engineering field, pay is massively different for different types of engineers. Civil and mechanical engineers generally aren't making anywhere near what software engineers make in top markets, for example. Similar story with chemists working in biotech vs. physicists doing fundamental research.
> - Turkey is the perfect size for a relatively beefy electric car battery to make through in one charge, effectively removing the range anxiety.

I would also like to buy one 2.000 km battery. Where are they sold and what are they made of?

> - Lastly, Turkey has been building cars for the past 35 years and it’s gotten pretty good at it - many of the entry to mid level marques of European conglomerates are built in Turkish factories. This is an entry into luxury segment, it is not an entry into car manufacturing. That knowledge of being able to build safe and solid European cars already exists in there. If you’ve visited Europe, you likely already ridden a Turkish-made car (taxis) and if you live in Europe, chances are you might own one without knowing.

Having been working for large OEMs (Bosch/Continental - the primary components such as brakes, infotainments, sensors, etc., essentially the Legos that all "completely different" marques use to put their cars together, regardless whether being an EV/ICE/flying saucer/whatever), I cannot see how being a manufacture for a foreign car brand helps in any way in building your own car.

Have you ever been in a car factory? It is full of bio-robots. Go here, press this button, put the torque wrench on this until it makes "wrrrrr" and that's it. Yes, you save pennies on low-skilled labor to staff your factory, but you need a complete different skillset to start producing your own car. I'm not familiar with what is actually being done in Turkey, maybe they have some awesome R&D, but using an argument like "everybody has already driven a Turkey-made car" is like saying "country X can start its own space program, because major LEO launch paths go over that country, so every rocket has flown through there"...

No offense to Turkey, I'm from a (different) country where many foreign brands assemble their cars too, and it is just that, trained assemblers, not at all helpful at launching your own brand/model.
I thought this was pretty interesting, and funny too. I have to admit that it's a cool idea for a game and that I chuckled a bit watching the video.
Why do we "culturally accept" any distinction?

Also, the idea of "culturally not accepting" something seems gross. It's the antithesis of diversity.
I'd love to see a Mazda-designed, touchscreen-free EV.

Does there even currently exist a consumer EV without a touchscreen?
I mean part of the problem is that the startup industry has been increasingly screwing over the employees being paid in “equity”. The constant revaluation of class “B” stock, etc.
I’m in one of the top 10 metro areas. But I guess I’m just lucky. I do avoid the marketplace services (I think Home Depot’s used to be called RedBeacon) and go for independent operators as I think they have more experience and more money goes in their pocket.
And when the link is opened in an app instead of Safari, it doesn't gain the visited styling. Which is annoying.
So the modern alternative would be this for file encryption, and signify for signing. What's the consensus on an alternative for GPG authenticating?

And what are the expert opinions on themis: https://github.com/cossacklabs/themis ?
I'm not a big fan of tools that take encrypted data, and decrypt it by creating a decrypted file on disk. They give you a false sense of security. Files, even if they get deleted, remain on hard disks. On SSDs they are even harder to remove, as there is a complicated layer of indirection. Even if you shred the file before deletion, it's possible that it will keep being stored by the SSD, maybe even permanently if a block containing the decrypted content is being decomissioned.

The classical gpg based tools have this very same problem. The classical response is to suggest ramdisk usage, ideally for the entire OS (like a live system basically) to avoid getting artifacts onto the disk like clipboard history, cached thumbnails, or log files. pass for example uses such ramdisks. I disagree that this is a good solution though. Of course it is more thorough, but it requires additional intervention/setup, and not everyone has the needed expertise. Instead, I think the encryption tool itself should take care to only store the decrypted content in non-paged RAM, and give users read/write access through a GUI or a TUI. It should be a ready downloadable solution, similar to the TOR browser bundle. The TOR browser is also trying to not put anything onto the hard disk.
I think that you misunderstood nullc's question. They are asking what happens if at some point one of the poly1305 MACs in the file is incorrect. Not if someone truncates the file.
amazing work! very creative - keep it up :)
Right, they can not lower taxes depends on manufacturer. But they can choose another way.

Like:
- Government banks can provide 0 interest (5 years term) credit only for local car.
- remove all taxes for 0 emission only with some spesifications like between 200-300 HP cars only to block Tesla (whatever).

Similar tricks already applying by all governments around globe.

I do not think any foreign company like Tesla will change his spec just to sell their cars in Turkey.
>Group boat ownership is often a good idea, you can share the finances and no one actually ends up using the boat as often as they think they will.

That works well if you're all the type to just putt in a circle outside the harbor. If some of the owners are the type to beat the vessel up doing what it was intended to do and more and some of them aren't you will wind up with hard feelings when things break.

Do you have any resources that help explain these SAS performance measures? A book perhaps?

I have been trying to help with exactly this (and your breadcrumbs help) but it is tricky for me since I am used to open source/*nix environment where you can use much different tools and also information and tutorials are distributed much more widely.
You usually are forced to work long hours when:

-management mismanages your project
-Sales sells customers on a new feature within a vastly reduced time frame..without consulting the development team
-Management decides to change around the current goals of your project, without changing the deadline

I once was brought on to a new project as a consultant that originally had a deadline of a year, this was reduced to 3 months after management dragged their feet, and I was expected to get it done..with the same amount of features in that new time frame.

I got it done in 6 weeks..but I had to work lots of extra hours to accomplish this. Luckily, I was able to bill them as a consultant...and not as a regular employee.

The crazy part is the company that gave me the project had a staff of salaried developers that only work on these sorts of death march projects. They charge a premium as a business..and probably do very well..but the stress of it has got to be pretty bad.

He's right. You really don't need to work long hours..when you have a good management team. But this is the exception to the rule in my experience.
Many car brands are owned by the same company (see for example GM), many beverage companies are owned by the same company (see for example Coke or Pepsi), many beer companies, many electric drill companies, restaurant chains, hotel chains, candy companies, toilet makers, shampoo brands, and faucet manufacturers use this technique as well. I hear you arguing that Pizza however is clearly different and anyone proposing to bring hundred year old brand management practices to Pizza clearly needs to serve time in jail. I suspect if you looked into modern commercial kitchen practices, where restaurants commonly share kitchen facilities, you would be surprised to say the least.
