Also, DNSSEC does have one thing PKIX doesn't and can't have: QName minimization. That's where instead of sending the full domainname for any query to the root and all intermediate zones, you only ever ask each zone for its domainname + the next label of the domainname you really want.

Imagine you're a subject of interest to the U.S. government, and they're willing to risk public knowledge of their access to root keys, say, in order to spy on you. And say you're vising some site like antifa.github.io. So you ask . for io, and io for github.io, and github.io for antifa.github.io, and only at the last hop can the LEO/TLA system spying on you decide that yes, they want to MITM you there. So either they have to MITM you everywhere, or they have to MITM you only at zones they can control, and this is a decision they have to make online. That's a big deal. If they decide to MITM you when you asked for io, but you expected this so you had io's public keys, and . tells you different keys, then you've detected the espionage attempt. WebPKI can't do this. By the time some server (or MITM) sees your SNI they've also seen your DNS queries. Even if you're using DoH/DoE (which also gets you similar protection in a DNSSEC world), if the SNI is not encrypted, still, they know what to do. And so on. Let's say you're using DoH/DoE with a resolver the LEO/TLA can't control, then they could simply kick your door in and take your stuff and beat you up. Crypto can make things harder for them, but not infinitely harder. The CCP won't give a damn about leaving evidence in CT logs, for example -- maybe today they do, but when push comes to shove, forget about it.
Businesses need capital for a variety of reasons. CapEx, money to buy growth where CLTV>CAC but CAC is still a big number, or maybe your competitor just raised a 30MM and you don’t want to get crushed when they operate at a loss to drive out smaller players, maybe you need to hire a sales team, etc.

It’s not a personal decision to raise or not. It’s dictated by the competition you’re facing.
Except that Japan has high population density, no significant lockdown, contact tracing that misses ~80% of the cases (estimating the total case count from their death count, using the IFR from serology elsewhere), and 7 deaths per million. So maybe it's the masks? The general culture of hygiene? The weather? Something else?

There's a lot we don't know here. I wish people would admit and accept that, instead of looking for false confidence, finding it, and then arguing with people who found a different falsely confident answer.
The post in question promotes a specific, imminent, and serious risk. The situation in question already has one unwarranted killing, and the phrase in question refers to a historical record of excessively violent suppression, so we’re well beyond the hypothetical. That risk is definitely present.

This leaves “spelled out in clear policies”. This essentially means that no matter how clear the intent or deadly the consequences of a post, Facebook can argue “it wasn’t a policy statement” and therefore is OK.

That’s not so much a sensible position as a carefully constructed excuse to never have responsibility under any circumstances.
How many of these types of issues are unique to RSA? Does it being old help in that more of them have been discovered, and there are known implementations that are usually good?
yes, all definitions are arbitrary.
Cool images, and nice explanations, thanks for posting!

Couple of questions:

1. Why do you have to start with a small initial image? What happens if you start optimizing a large image?

2. Intermediate layers typically have lots of feature maps (64-512). Each individual feature map can be thought of as a color channel. In your experiments, you always optimize triplets of feature maps (I assume you use the same code for inputs to every layer). So this is not exactly how it's happening during normal training - there's not easy way to visualize an image which has 512 "color" channels, right? Other than looking at each individual feature map (where there would be no colors).

The code quality of SQLite is often understated to a hilarious degree. The project has four independent test harnesses totally 644x as many lines of test code as there is actual code, with the final test count in the millions. This includes the things most of us do, fuzz tests, regression tests, performance tests, as well as out of memory tests, IO failure tests, power loss tests, and more.

Of course, it’s also easy to forget that the original application of SQLite was guiding missiles, so it has to work. Well, at least from the operator’s perspective.

> because the admin is the "management" and it will squeeze everyone else

I participate in the research side of universities in various ways and this is exactly how it happens. The bureaucracy is absolutely the enemy when trying to get research done or preventing some arsehole in management from removing a useful service.

I am currently trying to get hired as a research assistant (basically a vague title covering people who do research as part of a lab but without the ambitions of an academic) and lab heads will routinely try to source talent in a way that avoids the official university hiring policy. They do this because the official way is slow, stupid, and gets administration people involved who just get in the way. Not only that, they deal with plenty of university administration already, and they think it is mostly useless or needlessly complicated.
Wow, sounds like really challenging work. I still think those skills will be valuable for a long time, especially since they are becoming more rare. I'm curious how you prepared for that job, did a specific degree help? I have only learned what was necessary to solve the problems I've been given, and picked things up from others on the job.

No it does not. The second amendment offers no realistic protection for a civilian in any sort of way.

I have been part of a special forces raid to capture or kill and I can tell you the opponent has no realistic way to win that day. Sure you can win in the long run if you are fighting at home with the enemy fighting far away from theirs but not they you will suffer heavy losses and live in a condition far from what most of us can imagine or are prepared to do.
Anyone with such an employer would hopefully quit, now that they have the security of the guaranteed minimal income. Which means that this is to some extent a worker protection scheme: Employers will have to make menial, badly paid jobs more attractive since they will now be competing against "no work for the same money". In theory, at least. In practice things might devolve into more unreported employment, so workers could get both the full state minimum income and an unreported income on top of it.

This is one of the crucial differences to a proper universal basic income: The UBI does not discourage taking a job that adds income to the UBI. This kind of minimal income scheme does discourage taking badly paid jobs, since the total money you receive remains the same whether you work or not.

I know people who retired as millionaires on a lower middle class salary doing just that - living below their means, and regularly investing the difference.

Not all investors are created equal.

Taking their money might mean having to listen to them.

Nothing like fun and games introduced by a bad investor to make an already stressful situation more stressful.

Don’t build a business reliant on investment and you’ll be happier.

If you have to raise then don’t treat it as a good thing, you just sold part of your company and have more bosses now than just clients.

Standard terms hardly exist. Every deal is different.

Venture capital is a business model, Take the time to understand it before you start raising from VC’s.

There is nothing wrong with making a nice lifestyle salary from a small SaaS business without the pain of investors.

There is also nothing wrong with spending other people’s money gambling you can build a big company. Just don't let the terms prevent you from paying yourself if you go that route.

Sure, but part of the issue is that we can make accurate predictions of pretty much everything we can readily observe today. If there is higher structure, we can't even see the noise yet.

There's much work to be done, but unless something really amazing happens it'll be a long time before we get anywhere near new fundamental(there's still loads of work to be done elsewhere) physics

It's true not just for machines but engineering in general. Whether it's civil or mechanical or electronic or semiconductor engineering, their foundation is built on setting boundary conditions to make the natural world predictable so that it can be reliably manipulated. Things most often go wrong when those conditions are poorly understood, constrained, or modeled such as when using an unproven material, using imprecise parts, or ignoring thermal expansion when designing structural components.

Engineers have a plethora of quality control standards and centuries of built up knowledge to make this chaos manageable and the problems tractable.
> Testing to destruction is needed

This was not a destructive test.

Destructive tests are planned accordingly, and the outcome is known beforehand. The questions to be answered are a) which failure mode, b) quantify limits of a failure mode.

This was not a destructive test. Their plan was to fly this same vehicle next. Now they can't because it blew up.
This is perfect for explaining my current situation (not related to college nor smoking). Thank you for sharing.

Kubernetes is insurance for companies against getting locked in proprietary technologies.

It also promotes immutable infrastructure and hence increases the portability. While some of the things like load balancers and ingress are controlled by cloud provider almost everything else can be seamlessly migrated to another cloud provider or on prem.

It makes dev, test, staging, prod environments consistent and also solves a lot of pain points of managing infrastructre at scale with autoscaling, auto healing and more. Istio adds a lot more kubernetes and makes the supporting microservices even easier.

Its going to be an important piece in Hybrid world as it brings a lot of standardization and consistency in two disparate environments.
The post was by the most senior individual in government. When the commander in chief says something should happen, then obviously - completely and utterly obviously - that specifically encourages and endorses such action by the police and military. It’s not just a general statement.

Literally the only criticisms I have is that sqlite is actually dynamically typed, not statically as you would expect! The schema only defines a field's "recommended" type.

The documentation is very explicit about that[1], but it might still come unexpected, be forgotten, or, worst of all, cause problems that manifest much much later than if they would have at insertion. I remember one particular very ugly episode of that.

But that is all. As a whole, sqlite is amazing, rock solid, amazingly documented, and my immediate go-to if I need a (serverless) database. I don't remember encountering a bug, in mission-critical software.
To be fair, 1990 is 30 years ago.

I remember how much of a hero Magic Johnson was presented as being for simply publicly admitting he got it during surgery and advocating.

It was brave for a multi-millionaire celebrity to admit publicly that he got it by accident. If he'd have been gay too my gosh... what scandal...

Terrifying indeed.
> But I wouldn't have gotten to this point had I not learned Django and Rails first.

You would because I did. I started coding CGI scripts in C in 1994 then discovered Perl's CGI.pm

Then I handcoded SQL queries and discovered marshalling / unmarshalling / SQL injections etc. Then started using some library to spare me the issues.

Repeat for any piece of the stack.

Am I going back to frameworkless? No, because I would end up without customers. "No sir, it takes 6 months, not one, because I have to hand code everything or use my own buggy library instead of X which a zillion other developers use."
That video was almost certainly taken with a telephoto lens a long distance away, and telephoto lenses tend to compress distance. The flare could’ve been a long way away from the rocket, and a telephoto lens would make them look much much closer.

Yeah, that is absolutely correct. I am not blaming the individuals here, and often they do not have any other choice. The plasma companies have quite the history involving scandals see: https://web.archive.org/web/20170401035608/http://taintedblo...

Generally blood products derived from plasma cost about double for the exact same quantity in the US, compared to other developed countries with universal healthcare (excluding Switzerland). For example, the going rate for the blood product I take, in the developed world, is 40 Euro per gram (roughly $50/gram). My US health insurance pays out (not what is being billed by the provider--which is way, way more), under contract, $100/gram for the blood product. I take around a couple hundred to a few hundred grams per month. So, yes, even that alone is scandalous.
Not true.

I worked the opposite way round. I built my own custom PHP frameworks for each project for 15(ish) years until Laravel and then I was finally convinced it was better to use someone else’s framework than mine.

I liked doing it this way round because when I did Finally use a framework I had a pretty good idea of how it was all put together and also really appreciated the elegance and design choices they had made.

I’m not sure I would have appreciated it so much if I had started out with the framework and not learned all the things it takes to build one under the hood.

You've written several hundreds words on this thread without apparently reading the 2 lines I wrote to prompt you. Try again.

I've never heard of these companies that pay donors and every donation that I have been to was whole blood or RBC, administered by the Red Cross (in the US and otherwise).

Would what you wrote apply to a lesser degree for whole blood or red blood cell donations?

I'm sure they make a profit on any type of blood donations but as it's ostensibly a non-profit I would assume most of it gets funneled back into funding other Red Cross services, but now I'm actually curious.

I get that fanboys are excited and they see the Musk world through rose-tainted glasses.

But SpaceX was planning on flying this vehicle. And it exploded.

How does anyone anywhere believe in that? Obviously this outcome was not planned. If anyone wants to fly a vehicle to test other stuff, they don't want it to blow up prior to it.
I don't know how others see it, because the distinction between frameworks and libraries can get fuzzy. For me when I Inter operate with the software in the same way I would any of the tools in my garage, that's a library. When the software feels more like a service that someone provides, then that's a framework.

Not raising or defer raising money can help establish the foundations of a viable long term business.

To start with, it does not feel right to have to raise money or give away equity in order to build the first MVP to look for product market fit.

Founding team should have all the skillsets required to launch the first version of the product (Tech + Marketing minimum). Tech founder who is able to code the product and has the know how to keep it running for as cheap as possible, and another founder who knows how to bring the product to market.

Iterate from there, and if lucky eventually slowly have a sustainable business. Along the journey, not having VC money trains the founders to make difficult choices and learn things the hard way. Ie. Founding team will do as much as they can before hiring someone else, optimize cost of operations rather than throwing money easily at problems, etc.

Founders who are in it for the long game and want to build a sustainable business, will find not raising money most attractive.
There was a considerable SQLite thread less than a week ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23281994.
Frameworks (as the most popular currently exist) have always felt like the wrong conceptual approach for building complex webapps.

That is, if you're going to go through the trouble of shadowing the DOM, creating "components", etc., then why expose the DOM at all and why make those components HTML-bound? Why surface CSS by default?

A framework could completely abstract away the messy Web semantics that make webdev so painful. Use a GUI for laying out the UI and let it generate the HTML. Use an event-driven component model for "true components" that don't carry the weighty mishmash of CSS, templates, and code.

Rather than go back to vanilla, it'd be interesting to explore going forward beyond Web semantics and protocols. That feels more like evolution.

False. I'm drawing attention to the amendment and what the will of the people was/is and efforts made to subvert that will. The amendment as on the ballot said nothing about requiring money as a prerequisite. That's what Florida voted for: returning freed felons their rights. To ascribe some other interpretation to "terms" is to subvert the will of the people of Florida.

Ultimately the courts will decide whether the legal language "terms" includes fines and restitution. Seeing as these felons are free and fines are a civil matter I don't know how the courts could find that such things are part of their criminal sentence.

Edit: also btw I linked to reputable sources. I didn't obscure anything or omit anything.

It's right there on wiki:

>However, by mid-2019 Republican Governor DeSantis signed a bill into law which originated in the Florida Senate, SB 7066, which required that "people with felony records pay 'all fines and fees' associated with their sentence prior to the restoration of their voting rights"

It's a post facto qualifier. If fines were implied by the initial amendment this bill would be unnecessary.
While I can understand your pain related to dependencies with Python. I still cannot wholeheartedly support such of way. Depending on case bash scripts are valuable and should be utilized instead of using Python. However in some cases this can be painful for other developers, if used in wrong use cases.

I recently received a script from partner company that used such of script for forwarding data to their API. It was quite long and had few dependencies that were not visible until you (stupidly) executed it.

Few random thoughts:

- Bash scripts can be ran in environments where all dependencies to binaries are not met. In these cases the script might cause damage if they expect that everything is available.

- When someone is unexpectedly required to modify the script it can be difficult or cause issues when this is done by inexperienced developer (in this age I wouldn't be surprised)

- If the script uses a program that is required to be certain version for getting wanted results it may cause issues

- The environment where script is ran is usually not a vacuum. Another scripts might change environment variables or change/remove programs in general

While dependencies with Python can cause issues in the future. The trade-off is having some sort of control as long you don't execute other binaries directly.
I've used forall x (calgary remix), both the winter 2018 and the spring 2020 editions, and I found it quite good. It teaches truth functional and first order logic, and it's probably accessible to most high school graduates. I've seen it taught with good results to students of different academic backgrounds as a 'math' course for general education. I've linked it below and it's free (as in beer and as in freedom) so it's definitely worth glancing at, along with the rest of the open logic project.

I've never coded in C++, so I'm curious - what is the feedback loop like? My understanding is that since C++ is a compiled language, you can't "hit refresh" the same way you can in JavaScript/Ruby/etc.

Is that an incorrect understanding? I know C++ is supposed to be great for performance, but in truth I've never needed anything to be that fast. And if I can get the job done just as well with something I already know, I won't bother learning something like C++ which has a reputation for not being approachable.

But maybe I don't have full context?
