ECDSA is fantastic for all the reasons touched on in this article, but I’m sure the use of NIST curves will draw some criticism. As far as I know, no cryptographer seriously believes the curves to be backdoored, but nonetheless seems to be a hot topic of online discussion. DJB lists them as “unsafe”. Of course, other curve parameters like 25519 don’t have the same widespread deployment that the NIST curves enjoy, so this is a very sensible choice.
I was wondering if we have the net loss of business in 2019, so we can gauge the damage caused by Covid. Another interesting number would be the median loss of business. To put the numbers in perspective, the US has nearly 20,000 cities. Therefore, 200K closed business over 20K cities means 10 closed business per city. Since the population of each city is different, it is interesting to see some descriptive stats on the closures over the cities.

That's what people say, but I don't see that.

The same Java code is extremely portable, from Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc, on both the server, cli, and GUI app side.

It's just that its UI libs have historically been over-engineered shit like Swing.

Which is clearly wrong.

"Third Place" is just one example of understanding what spaces people need and using it to drive design. Studying and understanding where people congregate and why, is what inspires and leads to the design of "Third Places" like the Starbucks store.

I understand your situation, but please also understand that per cycled kilometer, the Netherlands is a lot safer than any other country. There exists no country with as big of a modal share with bicycles, and our accident rates involving bicycles are still super low. I'd love to get my hands on statistics on accidents per million kilometers or so, but it doesn't seem to be tracked anywhere for bicycles.

Point being is mostly that although a helmet helps if you get hit by a car, that itself is already a very rare occurrence in the Netherlands due to the way our infrastructure and roads are laid out. In addition to that, the average speed for our cyclists is lower, because 'sporty' cycling and commuting cycling are two very distinct kinds of activities over here. This means that your average city commuter cyclist will usually cycle at a leisurely pace between 15 and 20 km/h, not the >25km/h your average sporty bike will do.

I'm not saying not wearing a helmet would be the best choice your situation, in almost any biking situation around the globe that is the obviously correct choice. The Netherlands (and perhaps Denmark) are the exceptions to this because we have taken so many other precautions to make cycling a safe experience. This video lays that out perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAxRYrpbnuA

It's relatively easy to make the argument that added pollution of people taking the car due to hassle with helmets will cause more deaths and injury than leaving the helmets at home, or at the very least it'll be in the same ballpark. The estimations are that forcing people to wear a helmet will save about 5-20 lives a year on the Dutch roads. That'd be impressive, but the reduction in people opting for bicycles would yield a much bigger negative for the health of the people.

> However, for recall, I find there’s something about the physicality of a paper notebook that gives the facts a place to live.

I think that's correct. On 'Moonwalking with Einstein', the author mentions that placing a memory somewhere will help. Like, listening to podcasts while you walk around, and stuff like that. Maybe because you use different physical notebooks, your brain remembers better

Like, I used to listen to podcasts while driving to my GFs town, or driving home. I remember way more what I listened while driving, than while in my bed. In fact, for a few things, I remember where I was when X thing was being discussed.

Not to mention that the biggest problem, at least in music, isn't the absolute peak (or normalization), but rather dynamic compression.

Everything mastered (or "remastered") since the late '90s has been destroyed with dynamic compression to make it "louder." It's the biggest crime against art in our times, but is poorly understood even by musicians who complain about it. Interestingly it's the older ones, like Neil Young and Bob Dylan who have been the most vocal about it, but incorrectly attribute it to data compression or sampling rates.
I installed a wireless (RF) switch and I like it. It lights a tiny LED when it's on, and it is as reliable as a hardwired switch.

The big advantage is that it provides separate fan and light controls without needing to run new electrical wires through the wall and ceiling.
You're over-complicating it. The cleanup I was describing is freeing resources that had been allocated to the process before the error.

Sure, in a sufficiently crazy situation, close() might not actually close the file descriptor - maybe I've somehow trampled on the memory associated with the function (having worked around any kind of W^X), or maybe the operating system is just seriously fucked - but it seems crazy to expect that on the basis of failing to open a file. You should still close the socket.
I have a question about Borg’s encryption. It’s stated [0] that if multiple clients update same repository, the server might be able to decrypt data.

Why is that the case and wouldn’t that make the encryption very weak? Simultaneous updates happen quite often.

Would restic have the same problem?

——————-

Update: The issue happens because Borg uses AES in the CTR mode (not AES GCM) and two clients could provide the same nonce. The server could then recover the plaintext from two cipher texts. This is the famous nonce reuse problem.

So Borg developers are not using established primitives for this use case. Also, I am not comfortable with the OpenSSL even though it’s got better since 2015. The libssl code base is a mess and buggy. On the other hand using the low level libcrypto library would expose developers to the crypto primitives with possibilities for errors for people not expert in cryptography.

Borg should consider ChaCha-Poly135 as in rclone (or at least AES-GCM).

FWIW, I'm using a consumer router with IPv6 support with the proprietary firmware and the tests at the end of the article say that everything is working well. So, it looks like IPv6 is finally happening for people who don't have time to dive into this deeply.

>In my opinion, Java as a web language is good when you don't need to really understand what's happening (like in low-traffic situations)

Huh? Java is used in huge traffic backends, including HFT with minimal latencies acceptable all the way to Google and Twitter scale.

If anything, Java is much more fast and low level than the typical languages used for huge high-traffic services -- Rails, Python, etc - never mind about what's used in "low-traffic situations".

I felt very much the same. Especially the lack of focus on understanding the math. Especially linear algebra. Yes, it shows how to build a classic 4x4 matrix, but I feel there's a lot more which needs to be said about it when teaching this stuff to beginners.

Just looking at the chapters and reading a bit here and there doesn't give me a very good feeling. I don't like the approach, it feels like it focuses on the wrong things in the wrong order.
Thank you !

I posted another question on Borg, in case you know the answer!
They all become untrusted, if the verifier does their job. That said, a root doesn't issue site level certificates, so the intermediates and issued certs themselves would expire first.
If you restrict the input language sufficiently so that all functions have a known number of inputs and outputs and all conditionals leave the stack balanced (as Cat does by virtue of its static type system), you can convert a stack program into SSA form pretty easily and apply the same optimizations as you would with an applicative language.

Sure, but the question was about whether any filesystems allow you to store the attributes.

Storing and retrieving the attributes is the hard part that requires filesystem support, I think generating and searching the index pretty trivial once you have that. A quick index you can grep is a oneliner on Linux, something like getfattr -R /music -m genre > index.db

CAs simply never sign a cert with an expiry longer than their own root cert.

Thus, by the time the root cert expires, all client certs will already be expired.
The best microwave I've ever used didn't have any numpad at all. Instead, it has a horizontal sliding touch pad. It sounds stupid, but it works SO WELL. Move your finger slowly and it increments one second at a time, move it quickly and it jumps faster. On the front there are only two buttons (stop/clear and start/+30sec) and the touch slider and screen.

If you open the door there are a few more buttons for setting power levels and a timer, and the only useful preset button (popcorn), but none of the useless ones.

i have zero faith in The Powers That Be in our legal system to ever systematically hunt down and crush the multi-trillion dollar shadow economy. DOJ are as good as being the protectors of the Int'l Financial Mafia Syndicates. sadly, i used to hope more vigilante hackers like Phineas Phisher breaching and leaking and doxxing these Shadow Economy overloards would solve the problem. In many ways, hacking made it worse because now the Shadow Economy is spending money to better conceal itself and to embed itself into the crevices of the legit economy to become more untouchable.

i am especially skeptical of ICIJ because they are funded by George Soros' Open Society, which means maybe Soros is paying ICIJ to cover things up and stall for time and provide a soft landing to Int'l Financial criminals.

Show HN: Deploy any-size Keras model with a drag and drop
I sympathize with what you’re saying. There are points at which actively avoiding politics is being complicit with what is happening. But I think to understand that people need to have more interest in history, and really have strong democratic values. If people don’t and won’t then they will just continue to rationalize and find excuses for everything while the pot slowly continues to boil. Too many people seem think that democracies end and authoritarian regimes happen in big/quick and obvious events. Too many people value power more than democracy and think power by any means will only hurt their “enemies.” So many ignore or foolishly support the slide into authoritarianism. The situation here in the US is complex with so many factors at play, and not all of it is unique. There seems to have been a surge in authoritarian sentiment in many countries over the past decade. To ignore it is peril IMO. But I don’t know how HN could be the place to address this. It would require strong moderation. It would require HN (the community) to first even agree that we have a problem.

Strange, my Chinese citizen wife got her conditional green card within ~6 months of application (about a year ago, we’ve been married less than 2 years and she took a few months to apply since her status wasn’t pressing). One thing they ask is if you are a member of the communist party (my wife never was), and I guess if the answer is yes things may be more complicated. I, myself, am a naturalized us citizen (from Eastern Europe, my dad got an E1 in 2001).

Then those devices are to blame. Disabling the volume control is common for all digital outputs, not just HDMI. There's an absolute scale for volume in the digital domain, so there should be no vast disparity from different devices unless they're doing something dumb.

Analog sources could vary in volume because they provided voltage across an analog input. When CD players came out, they had notoriously "hot" outputs, meaning physically higher voltage. Not so with digital connections.
I actually really appreciate this research - this is proper Mythbusters type stuff, looking at debunking an urban legend. Also, considering that this is an urban legend originated and propagated by an anthropologist also apparebtly known for his work with psychotropic plants[0], who also already has had an incident of dubious claims bring criticized, perhaps this is a good wakeup call to see how reliable Wade Davis' other findings are as well.

Exactly, even though the economies of scale were making the economic value of the company much higher, this extra will just keep disproportionately going to the shareholders. In fact, the bigger the companies, the more power they hold in wage negotiations. Think about an efficient market with many, many buyers and sellers. What kind of equilibrium does it reach? Now think of a few big companies, hiring from an ever increasing supply. The companies grow bigger, but the wage that laborers receive, will decrease. At some point it becomes this question, why should American workers give up an ever bigger part of their wage to shareholders and other immigrants?

In spite of their best efforts, most of the software development still occurs in the US. Think Microsoft hasn't tried to offshore as much as possible to India and China, building dev centers there? Or Google and FB?

Even then, just look at what kind of workers end up being imported through this programs. Not always the best and brightest. Many do entry level jobs not even in software development, for outsourcing companies.

I'm not saying outright ban immigration but better control is needed. (And saying this as a non-American living in the US). Something that struck me as particularly interesting and President Trump recently commented, is how about making companies bid for a fixed number of visa slots. Whoever pays the highest salary, gets the visa. This would certainly make companies be able to bring the brightest, while raising wages in general.

> what happens to all active certificates when the root key expires?

They expire, but normally the CA wouldn't issue certificates outliving their root.

It can be a concern for legacy devices whose trust store doesn't get updated, but really no more so than any other cert expiration or revocation.

I'm not confusing them, I just oversimplified the interaction between the petition expiration date and the I-94 expiration date. I forgot to add that my comment above applies to applications that go through consular processing though, which is a very important detail.

H1b applications processed by consulates don't receive an I-94 which means that the application is "approved pending a visa stamping". The new work authorization isn't active regardless of whether they are already in the United States legally or not, until the person leaves the US and goes to a visa stamping at a consulate.

You are describing the happy path for tech workers, but in my experience (90s Soviet block exodus) most families had to go through consular processing because it places a smaller burden of proof on the applicant vis a vis things like legal status in the United States and their home country. Lots of families from the Soviet block had a hard time assembling the required documentation in the chaos of the 90s and anyone who overstayed a H1b or student visa even a day because they wouldn't or couldn't uproot their families has to go through this process.
I have no idea these days, but it's clearly something that takes 100ms+ to process an input event (java? html? flash? all of the above?). Responsive encoders/buttons/displays were doable 15 years ago with 5 MIPS microcontrollers in C. Driving an HD44780 character LCD is easier than a full raster display, which explains the appeal of the bloat, but quick sprites etc should be completely doable after two decades of progress.
