This is provably false.

DNSSEC, DANE and TLSA are widely used to secure SMTP servers. From the web page showing the nearly 2 million domains with signed MX and DANE records [1]:

The following graph depicts the number of domains that have deployed DANE/SMTP. Specifically, their zone is signed, their MX records all point to hosts that have DANE TLSA records.

Regarding MTA-STS, it's a work-around for the large global email providers that can’t implement DNSSEC for a variety of reasons.

Again, MTA-STS has problems, the main one is being susceptible to downgrade attacks because MTA-STS doesn’t use DNSSEC. An attacker can MiTM a connection preventing a TLS connection.

The MTA-STS RFC [2] confirms this:

The DNS-Based Authentication of a Named Entities (DANE)TLSA
record [RFC7672] is similar, in that DANE is also designed
to upgrade unauthenticated encryption or plaintext
transmission into authenticated, downgrade-resistant
encrypted transmission. DANE requires DNSSEC [RFC4033] for
authentication; the mechanism described here instead relies
on certification authorities (CAs) and does not require
DNSSEC, at a cost of risking malicious downgrades.

There’s no dispute about any of this, so it’s not clear why you continue to make false and misleading statements about these technologies, regardless of your opinions about them.

You know the old saying: you’re entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.

Outside of those two (now 3), I thought also there were a bunch of relatively harmless coronaviruses that people just consider comparable to common cold.

Wikipedia says:

Coronaviruses were discovered in the 1960s.[8] The earliest ones discovered were infectious bronchitis virus in chickens and two viruses from the nasal cavities of human patients with the common cold that were subsequently named human coronavirus 229E and human coronavirus OC43.[9]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus#Discovery

And later:

Coronaviruses are believed to cause a significant proportion of all common colds in adults and children.

The coronaviruses HCoV-229E, -NL63, -OC43, and -HKU1 continually circulate in the human population and cause respiratory infections in adults and children world-wide.
It was bundled with the matrox millennium, which was the best video card available.

Unbenounced to 14 year old me, the matrox millennium had a flat shaded polygon 3d acceleration capability, which made NASCAR run pretty well if you turned textures off. (which is why it was bundled with the card) I kept textures on because I didn't know any better, and the game ran fairly poorly. Ultimately I never played it very much because the framerate was frustratingly low.

Damn shame. It was years later that I found that out. Of course I was terrible at it anyway, so it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Anyway, that's probably why your dad had the game.

Well in my childhood I realised the religion my father was involved in, there was a common belief the moon was made of cheese, and that there were 'scientific evidence' for this in the scriptures.

For anyone interested in examples of software where true preprocessor standard conformance is essential, check out https://github.com/rofl0r/order-pp. It’s a functional programming language built on the C preprocessor that can essentially output any sequence of preprocessing tokens, with high-level language features like closures, lexical scoping, first-class functions, reflection, an eval primitive, etc. It also provides data structures like sequences and tuples with many functions for operating on them, and has arbitrary-precision arithmetic support. Pretty neat stuff.

That's a little like telling someone of color to just ignore systemic racism.

I've been here more than ten years. I literally spent years doing all the stuff people say to do here to network, get taken seriously, etc.

It wasn't working because I got treated differently by essentially everyone due to my gender.

I was literally homeless for nearly six years and frequently going hungry while being blown off and told sexism wasn't a real problem.

You no doubt mean well. As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Given that I appear to be the only woman to have ever spent time on the leader board, it doesn't appear to be me mishandling things. All the evidence suggests that I'm the most successful openly female member here in terms of getting accepted by the community, etc. And it has seriously sucked in a "The rampant sexism is going to help kill me" kind of way and this has been true for a great many years.

It's only in recent months that I'm beginning to get anything resembling what I wanted all along out if it. I'm quite clear this is largely due to my gender.

It's not really anything I care to discuss further. It gets me a great deal of flak to talk about all that. I've really gone to substantial pains under enormously difficult circumstance to minimize the focus on my gender and the BS I had to deal with because of it while being accused of making a big deal out of nothing, etc ad nauseum.
The first patient was confirmed after having been intubated for >= 4 days. On average it takes 9 days from infection to ARDS, which requires intubation, according to a Lancet study. She was confirmed 5 days ago (on Feb 23rd). So she could be infected 9 + 4 + 5 = ~18 days ago.

Since only around 20% of patients require hospitalization, we can estimate there are ~5 infected in her cohort. With doubling time outside China at 5-6 days, that means around 3 doublings: 2^3 * 5 = 40 infected today (Many of them will not show serious symptoms; some who will require admission have not progressed to that stage yet.) So far we have assumed that all hospitalized cases are detected, however.

Some who are hospitalized might still not be detected, since without a test or a CT scan, its symptoms are similar to other viral pneumonia. Let's say infected per detected is a factor of 1.5-4. Very rough estimates: ~60-160 infected in the Bay Area now.

On the other hand, I feel like the elitist, alienating "don't even try to learn, just obey us" attitude of much of the cryptography/security community could also be making the situation worse.

It's probably worth pointing out that nobody uses TeX bare without a LaTeX-like macro library. Knuth wrote his books with a macro library confusingly called "plain TeX", which ships with the TeX language interpreter. (That interpreter was the subject of this thread.) LaTeX relies on the plain TeX library, just as, for example, GLib relies on the C standard library. The third alternative popular TeX macro library for document formatting, other than plain TeX and LaTeX, is a thing called ConTeXt. It seems to me that ConTeXt is less popular than LaTeX, but more popular than plain TeX.

But of course to invoke any of these you have to write code in TeX, just as to invoke Rails you have to write code in Ruby, or to invoke Numpy you have to write code in Python.

As far as reimplementations, I think the only reimplementations were done at Stanford in the late 1970s as Knuth and his students wrote a series of prototypes, culminating in the TeX language we know today in 1983.
One interesting take on this is that certain attitudes such as "authoritarian" or "egalitarian" both have value in the sense of the "selfish-gene" evolutionary theory.

So for example, imagine a primitive tribe of humans facing a drought. If they spend too much time discussing options democratically, if they don't all agree, or if they waste time by changing their mind half-way to a source of water, they'll all die. But if they follow an authoritative leader -- even if makes bad arguments or none at all -- they might all make it to the mountain spring in the distance and survive.

The gist of this is that in times of hardship, authoritarian, conservative, or "right-wing" styles of though/argument/politics/whatever can win the day. But in times of relatively low stress, more democractic/left-wing/progressive attitudes can help the tribe discover even more resources than they would have if they always followed the same instructions to go to the same sources. Innovation and exploration can turn the merely adequate into a bountiful plenty, resulting in more healthy babies, etc...

So these attitudes and personality traits are important to have present in the gene pool to make the species as a whole robust against a wide range of challenges and threats.
This completely misses the point.

If people are exposed, they DO NOT KNOW they are sick. There are no symptoms for the first few days even though you're shedding virus.

You are most contagious just prior to symptoms

The point of closing spaces is to force people who FEEL FINE from spreading the virus further.
The article mentioned in other comments (https://all-things-andy-gavin.com/2011/02/04/making-crash-ba...) seems to go into it:

> First and foremost, they didn't follow PlayStation's library restrictions. Other developers often complained that Crash was using some sort of secret Sony library. That is the exact opposite of the truth. The truth is that Crash used as little as it could of Sony's library and the programmers basically hacked everything right to the hardware.[...]

> Hitting the hardware directly was against the rules. But by the time Sony saw the results they needed a Mario killer. It was too late for them to complain.
One of the joys of lacking a real healthcare system
Actually masks aren’t meant to help keep a person from getting sick. For that, wash your hands frequently and wear gloves. Masks are for people infected. Contain the contagion at the source with a mask. Doesn’t do anybody good for the paranoid to have all the masks.
They are still shown as soon as you press Alt. Which makes sense, since if you don't know about that, you can't use the underlined letters anyway.

Earlier today I was watching a YouTube video somebody referenced in my social media feed about Fake Martial Arts.

Mostly these aren't just heavily stylised exercises that have limited practical value as fighting styles, they're woo like energy blasts or psychic power that can't work at all. Practitioners wave their hands or say magic words and seemingly defeat groups of skilled foes. Except it's bullshit.

The video includes some unpleasant though relatively brief excerpts showing what happens when a practitioner of such a fake won't back down and fights someone who knows what they're doing. They generally seem initially very confident and then within seconds they're on the ground just trying to keep from getting further hurt. That they'd show up and fight rather than make thin excuses and vanish suggests these people are delusional rather than (or as well as) crooks.

Fighting and cryptography are both disciplines where it isn't just a matter of opinion whether you're right.

The past whereabouts of these people is self-reported, correct? It certainly possible that they're not being completely transparent. The simple solution? Take their phone geo records and see where and when there's an intersection.

I'm not dismissing the possiblity of a threat; only how accurate self-reported data is known to be.
It's a thing mostly for languages in which typing a single character takes more than a single keypress, such as Chinese.

Accelerators themselves work for every language, provided that the input method has a way to actually enter the Alt + character combo. So it works fine for e.g. Cyrillic, Greek etc.

Not sure what you're asking? If you use the same key over and over again, then you're using the same key much more than just twice.

The idea of a one-time-pad is that you're basically just randomly flipping the bits of your input, which means the output of an OTP cipher is indistinguishable from random data.

If you're using the same key multiple times though, then the output of the cipher (considered over time) won't be random, and you'll be able to detect patterns from the original input in the cipher output (e.g., the shape of an image, frequency of certain letters).
These federal policies that don’t account for regional differences in income are a problem. The salary level where this kicks in is $130k. On the peninsula in the Bay Area where many people will be effected, the average price of a home is about 7X the national average. $130k might be a lot where home prices are $300k, but around here it’s barely a living wage. If your taxed an additional 40% on a possible $100k that you may never see, then it becomes poverty level in this area.

https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2020/02/e-bike-sales-continue-...

The market for ebikes has overtaken that for regular bikes in the Netherlands. It was a billion euro market last year and the average price is around 2K euros. There are a lot of company sponsored programs & tax benefits as well. Cheaper bikes are available but they generally have less range, comfort, and build quality.

I'm currently in Athens for a short vacation and what strikes me here is the insane number of petrol run scooters that are loud, take up lots of space, and pollute the city. Most of these could be replaced e-bikes easily and it would probably transform cities like this (this is a thing all over southern Europe). This is more or less exactly what's already well underway in Asia and these things are being mass produced by the millions already. Of course, Greece is a lot poorer and it will probably take quite long for them to catch up. A lot of the scooters here are obviously very old and I imagine their second hand value is very low. Of course fuel cost is a thing but they run quite far for just a few euros.
Gearing up hospitals to protect before a possible full blown outbreak ranks higher than private industry specific needs. If those construction employers care, they can pay the premium supply vs demand price increase not their employees.
