My wife and I met via a dating app in 2000. This was back in the day when you might have 40 women in total in a given metro area participating. Anyway, what you wrote about what dating sites don’t do (advice on etiquette etc) also resonated with me. I remember not long after my wife and I started dating I went out and spent about a thousand bucks on new clothes and another $600 on new glasses. I showed up to our next date impressed with myself. She was like hey nice glasses but where on earth did you find these clothes? I told her and she said ok don’t do that again, let me help you. I could have been angry... she could have said nothing and never gone out with me again... one thing I see with my friends who 20 years later who still have no spouse is that they all end their relationships before they get to the point of candor without consequences. It’s sad that some people jump right to intimacy but they aren’t even willing to say to that person hey you might want to pluck your eyebrows. Honestly I don’t think even if a dating site did give this advice people would even follow it but I have to say they probably should!
You're saying "the rounds are not very expensive" but the paper is generating 2x+ speedups. This is a paper by a cryptographer (Aumasson is an author of BLAKE and BLAKE2) and a participant in the cryptographic contests that have selected the primitives we use now, in significant part due to performance concerns.

Which is just to say, to the extent that the performance issues Aumasson is talking about don't seem relevant to you, you might just not be the audience to whom the paper is directed.

Please note that Fastmail is an Australian service. I would not trust Fastmail with my email privacy. Not because of the company, but because of the encryption laws in Australia.

Food for thought.
Technically I’d agree. In practice I think people would progressively bring back crazy use cases and requests that would need to be dealt in the model.

For instance date formats are a complete mess only because people value different informations. Even in a countey with a single official representation, people will write checks with shorthands and mixing of different norms.

It’s also interesting to look at China would try to simplify pretty hard, and still ended up with a tangled mess (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_China)
It's an interesting value proposition to consider. From one side, Google could have stood to gain by potentially luring the legion of iOS devs onto their platform. At the same time, it's hard to imagine them surrendering any part of their product to a language which is ultimately controlled by Apple at the end of the day (although I suppose they could fork it).

In any case, open source Swift was not ready for prime time at time of release.

I'm sure this was done for fun here, but as with all hobbyist C or C++ based OSes, such exploitation methods are well 'typical' and unsurprisingly straightforward.

Come back with a zero-click kernel exploit when the OS is iOS, Windows, Linux or Android (Surely the exploit-writer is experienced with PS4-level ones) and then we'll talk.
how about less radiologists required to double check? I would consider that as disruptive.

FBCLID is "Facebook Click ID". It is sent to third party sites as a URL parameter so that if an advertiser complains about fake clicks or something they can provide the IDs and the Facebook advertising team knows which ones they are talking about.

Analytics companies (I think Google and a few others) can pay Facebook to get data on your behalf like what page it came from and the demographics of the visitor.

Google AdWords does this as well on paid clicks with GCLID
I'm not qualified to say this but because it's HN I'll say it anyways: I'd imagine Aumasson's response to this would be: "we've cut it close on key size by playing around below the 2^128 threshold, and close on block size in the same way, but there's no evidence we've come dangerously close to practical attacks based on iteration count, and some evidence in the other direction; in fact, at this point, a cipher design that wasn't attackable through some number of rounds would likely be rejected for want of cryptanalysis".

CCC has a CDN, documented here: https://media.ccc.de/about.html

To get a list of mirrors for a file, copy the URL of the file you want to download, and append ?mirrorlist to get a list of mirrors.

For example, here's the list of mirrors for the video in 1080p MP4 format: https://cdn.media.ccc.de/congress/2019/h264-hd/36c3-10961-en...

I had the same issue with another link posted today where the video wasn't loading at first. I downloaded it from a mirror using wget at over 200 Mb/s.
And then once you've reached the bottom of the page (and assumed that page is loaded in full) scroll back up. It just keeps loading that data again and again
My opinion is, the original PC Model F keyboard is good, except it doesn't have lights.

I do sometimes use caps lock, when writing many words in all uppercase (used sometimes in computer programming; even in other text it may sometimes be used for titles and so on). (I also use num lock, both on and off. And also scroll lock, too, sometimes. I use all of the keys on the computer, sometimes.)
That's an interesting twist. It says the players might not be able to, after losing an election, understand why they lost and whether the winner poses a threat or not. In other words, it's a case where one or both players are ignorant or, as you said, blind to reality.

Interesting.
Thanks for the recommendation! I just listened to the entire podcast, very interesting and exciting stuff.
This link is hidden under a hamburger menu on Firefox for Android, and it's not even visible on the screen unless you scroll to the right. I didn't even realize it existed until you mentioned it because the page seems to be formatted deliberately to keep you from knowing it's there on mobile devices.
In Japan, the Unix-style keyboard layout has been pretty popular among IT people, as people don't need Caps Lock as much. Personally though, I can't stand for the HHK key touch (too soft for me).
What if you have a disproportionality large public bounty on each algorithm?
We're not talking about mathematical or scientific levels of proof, but assurance and trust.

The usual methods for achieving this are government regulation and oversight (free of capture), and independent third-party audits (likewise).

The good news is that there seems to be ... some, slight ... progress in this direction.
I straight up have no idea what you're talking about lol, but also don't smoke much. I know some people, particularly in the skater community, that love weed and probably care more, but I mostly join in if it's going around and my gf is usually the one getting anything. I can see how our experiences would be different if you were very regularly looking for weed before.
A quote from the article in my earlier comment;

Some of the debris buried beneath the dome includes
plutonium-239, a fissile isotope used in nuclear
warheads which is one of the most toxic substances
on earth. It has a radioactive half-life of 24,100
years.
It's quite nice seeing someone who has a entrenched interest promoting awareness of new evidence, that—whilst it may hurt their own stake—is important to furthering humanity's understanding and getting to the ground level of what the truth actually is.

We just so obviously need more behavior like this. It's taboo in our culture to change a stance you once publicly made and there are so many things wrong with that. To not change your mind is to not be in dialog with the world and all the new evidence that's accumulating there within.

Personal guess is that blue light probably isn't conducive to staying circadian-aligned, but like the parent am open to new evidence.
I didn’t mean to imply they were different approaches (they aren’t really), only that you could offload the job from etcd to somewhere else to rely on it less, which would hopefully help scalability or allow you to lower the ping time.

And yes, FDB separates the act of detecting a failure from reacting to a detected failure for that reason. In FDB’s case, a 20s network hiccup on a specific process could mean it is better to initiate a recovery anyway. I think for your use case that trade off makes sense as there are lots of journals, whereas FDB only runs a single database for clients to access.
There are specific examples for high prevalence conditions as you cite, but the original comment was not talking about that, it was talking about a broader approach.

Even taking your example, getting to the point of removing a pre-invasive adenocarcinoma is actually very complicated. You need a motivated patient, you need a healthcare team of specialist doctors or nurse practitioners, pathologists, radiologists, anaesthesiologists, nurses, an endoscopy suite, a recovery area, you need a system to follow up and track these cases etc. The full embedded cost of this undertaking is huge, I don't think it is scalable, and at the same time, will never capture everyone. Randomised studies usually just barely show that these screening approaches are better than not screening, once false positives are accounted for. Furthermore, you have chosen an example where there is a useful pre-screening test (fecal blood tests), a relatively non-invasive diagnostic test (colonoscopy) and a relatively painless intervention (removing a polyp with the scope). This is not broadly applicable. A pancreatic lesion for example is very hard to diagnose for sure, and the intervention is a massive and life changing operation.
These are gorgeous and still feel very fresh and vibrant. Thank you for sharing.

FUD. Bitcoin will continue to evolve, it is not static.
Many generations beyond ours. Someone else posted this article which has more information:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-11-27/the-dome-runit-island...

"Some of the debris buried beneath the dome includes plutonium-239, a fissile isotope used in nuclear warheads which is one of the most toxic substances on earth.

It has a radioactive half-life of 24,100 years."
I think there are actually rather a lot of them.
Part of the problem in determining that is that there is a history of reports saying that it wasn't a problem anymore.

> The last nuclear test in the Marshall Islands was conducted over fifty years ago, and through the passage of time and cleanup efforts by DOE, radiation doses in the RMI have been steadily declining. Today, the greatest source of radiation being absorbed by all persons living in the world, including the RMI, is from natural sources. - U.S. National Cancer Institute, 2010

There have been some reports in the past that disagreed with the narrative that the radiation was quickly disappearing, but they have been traditionally shot down quickly:

> ...determined that no further corroboration of the measurements and assessments of the radiological conditions at Bikini Atoll is necessary. The data that have been collected are of sufficient quality to allow an appropriate evaluation to be performed. - International Atomic Energy Agency, 1997

However, a modern study by Columbia University [0], published this year, found not just flaws in the way previous studies were done (they avoided sediment analysis), but a disturbingly high amount of radiation in places that were previously deemed to be "safe". Well above the legal limits put in place by agreements between the US and the Marshall Islands.

I translate atheism similarly to amorality. An amoral action or thought is orthogonal to the existence of morality. An atheist is orthogonal to the existence of god / gods. The existence or non-existence of any deity is not only unprovable, it has only academic influence on my actions or thoughts.

Defaults can be important, but the game to win isn't software licensing. That's just a play in bigger games like end-user rights and developer autonomy and dominating a market niche. Means, not the end. Unless it's really all about righteous cred strictly within the software industry itself, for self-edification or advancement.

Meanwhile, nearsightedness on licensing politics allowed the frame to move out from under licensing long ago. SaaS. Data control. App Stores. Developer SDKs.

As for Parity, GPLv3 has already been enforced under both contract and copyright, and already goes further than derivative works. But a license matters because of its rules, not how they work. Legal implementation details are just that.

As for toolchain and developer software, Parity intentionally sets out to do for those what the GPLs tried to do for libraries, frameworks, and applications. If there's a good reason only some kinds of software---and some kinds of software developers---and only those get a gold star for their copyleft, I haven't read it yet. What I have read boils down to fear or deprecation of copyleft itself: keep it penned in where it is. We only needed it to get where we are now.
If you think that's bad, check out the flag of Bikini Atoll (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Bikini_Atoll).

It's literally a big middle finger to the American government. It's America's flag but with some black stars hanging out amongst the stripes:

"The three black stars in the upper right represent the three islands that were disfigured in March 1954 during the 15-megaton Bravo test by the United States. The two black stars in the lower right corner represent where the Bikinians live now, Kili Island, 425 miles to the south of Bikini Atoll, and Ejit Island of Majuro Atoll. These two stars are symbolically far away from Bikini's stars on the flag as the islands are in real life (both in distance and quality of life)."

And in large black letters, the text "Everything is in the hands of God."

Let's just say they didn't appreciate their home being irradiated.
I also do whole-home snapcast and control via Home Assistant. I love it! My server and 5 clients use this build:

Raspi3B+
HiFiBerry Amp+ (sits on top of raspi)
Volumio software (free)
Any speakers, $50 on Amazon does it

I use the snapcast plugin to pull music from my Synology NAS. Volumio has a nice http UI on computers and phones and Volumio also has a bunch of other great plugins (including ones that pull podcasts, YouTube audio, web radio). It’s been a very solid synchronized system, especially when the server and as many clients as possible are hardwired.

Each client is not necessarily much cheaper than a Sonos client but prevents proprietary lock-in and allows you full flexibility in your setup.
I'm pretty sure maxmind does more than simply keeping a whois database; they likely aggregate this data from multiple sources, but of course we don't know since it's a trade secret.
I was being facetious, but as an under 30 as well I do agree vapid interactions are tiresome. I'd draw a distinction between compliments or attention and wholely vapid interactions though. I don't know that I've had what I'd call a prolonged interaction or investment of my time solely based on looks, because there isn't much material to go on just based on that. Usually short lived interactions and such. Maybe as a woman this would be more extensive.
And just like that he was Ghosn.
Some things are a matter of opinion. Even worse, some things seem objectively clear yet are censored by YouTube for wrong think.

I suppose my point was that you've picked some very low-hanging fruit there (and even then I think the vaccines one is far more nuanced and complex than that, and the flat Earthers are ultimately harmless).

Do racial diversity. Who is right and who is wrong? Why should those preaching the virtues of third-world immigration to the West be promoted on YouTube while those preaching the virtues of nationalism in the West are censored, demonetised, or banned?

> This is one area where the left-right paradigm breaks down

No, it isn't.

> I've see far more leftist war-mongering in the last decade than anything coming from the right

That's probably because you have confused as “left-wing” the center-right neoliberal faction that's been completely dominant in the Democratic Party since the early 1990s (though in the last couple years that dominance is weakening and there’s a real chance that they won't have someone from their faction secure the Democratic Presidential nomination next year, which would be the first time since at least 1992 that that has occurred; 2016 was the first time since at least then that there was even a significant contender that wasn't from that faction.)

> If you imagine the quintessential American man, a hard-working White lower-middle-class family man, it's impossible to assign to him modern leftist politics

Odd, then, that that's exactly the group in which the actual left-wing challenger far out-performed the center-right establishment candidate in last year's Democratic primary (and, also, during the primary when the two were placed in general election polls, the same effect was seen.)

Modern left-wing politics do just fine with the working class, including the white male segment of the working class. Center-right neoliberal capitalist politics and the bourgeois minority identity politics that faction engages in to divide the working class and obstruct the formation of a working-class identity, don't work for the white working class (and aren't intended to) just as the white nationalist identity politics embraced by the other party’s capitalists for the same purpose don't work, and aren't intended to, for the minority groups to whom the Democratic center-right’s identity politics are targeted.
At some companies I'm familiar with, the highest level ICs have nearly unlimited freedom to "move on to the next project" as you put it. Some slot themselves into purely advisory roles, so they can dedicate their time to accountability-free control without ever having to risk assuming responsibility. Others constantly flip through greenfield development projects, leaving maintenance teams behind like mouse droppings once the projects are too mature for their tastes.

At Google, high level ICs seemed accountable by most standards. They couldn't just abandon projects when they became boring, they got in trouble when their projects didn't work well, and the weird committees (which admittedly did exist) generally felt like guideposts more than obstacles.
I'm just stoked that someone took the time to find a bug and write an exploit for the system. :)
Me too. I also like its label slapped at the bottom of the keyboard, which reads "Made in U.S.A.". Kind of makes me a proud owner even though I'm not American.
Tell HN: The January Entrepreneur Challenge
Build a business or product that is profitable by the end of January 2020

This is a sprint not a marathon. A fun challenge to do together, not something to take super seriously

Rules:

- has to be truly profitable, no matter how small of a profit. You can’t spend $100 on ads and call your $5 return a profit
- No just convincing your friends and family to buy. Has to be strangers as customers
- it can be something you’ve thought of before, but not something you’ve already started building
- Don’t get upset if someone copies your idea. This is for fun, not to become the next Facebook/Uber/Netflix
- At the end of January post what you worked on and how it turned out. Failure is always an option

Motivation:

It can be super easy, when reading stories about big startups, to only try big ideas. The truth is that some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world started small and worked there way up. As a community, let’s see what we could learn from trying a small challenge as a group
It's an interesting idea, but probably personally I wouldn't use it.

Honestly, I think momentum has shifted, mostly to twitter, w/ people either posting content directly there or linking to medium, and occasionally, personal blogs.

But Twitter is flawed (if for no other reason, than because they are increasingly exercising editorial control). I look forward to whatever replaces it...

"Open" was a marketing buzzword in computing long before that. Christine has written that she ran "open source" by a friend in marketing at the time and they told her it was vague and played out.
So do you think the average person off the street (the random walmart shopper) can go through a coding bootcamp successfully? I don't think so.

I think the people who can go through a coding boot camp successfully have great arithmetic skills, great reading skills, and can easily solve 2x-7=11 for x in their head in a moment 100% of the time. (Basic algebra 1.) And can read any generic software manual easily, if the manual doesn't assume too much prior knowledge and is written at a basic level.

I don't think the average walmart shopper can do it.

Do you disagree? What do you think the baseline skills are for people who go through a coding bootcamp successfully? Maybe you have more experience with those people than I do. I think of them as intelligent, educated people with above-average SAT scores but without specialized programming training, who decide to go through a boot camp. They're curious, motivated, smart. But they're not programmers.
It's almost no longer surprising that this happens seemingly every time. Even when companies do terribly the executive teams are often rewarded and even in cases of terrible neglect are rarely punished in any serious way. I do understand the benefit of these pay packages for new incoming people who are brought on to specifically do a turnaround of such a risky company but to give this to people who were part of the executive team that led to this mess seems like a shockingly bad move.
