The way you have framed conservative positions on these issues seems like you’re imputing bad faith to them and assuming no reasonable person could hold those views.

With climate change, one doesn’t have to deny the science at all to hold a position that the optimal policy choice should be to do nothing, or to wait several decades before taking action. The science predicts some real but finite amount of harm in the future from global warming. Mitigations would also be very painful, eg carbon taxes that make air travel unaffordable to all but the very wealthy.

And in terms of healthcare, everyone agrees the system is broken. In fact, one of Trump’s biggest campaign promises was to fix the US healthcare system. The difference is that conservatives see the government intervention in the healthcare industry as the main problem. (The Federal government pays 2/3 of all healthcare spending in the country, so our system is pretty “socialized” already.) Trump’s first step was an attempt to repeal Obamacare and start to return the healthcare system to more market-based solutions. However Congress was not willing to go through with it so we haven’t had any progress on healthcare since.

Conservative views are not simply a bunch of people arguing in bad faith.

Apologies in advance if this sounds snappy, this hits an issue I feel strongly about.

My local supermarket has precisely no empathy for me and the only thing I expect to agree on with the local store manager is price. Yet it is by far the most effective conduit for getting me cheap food. Effective systems simply are not very good at empathy and agreement on non-core issues is unimportant. Empathy in particular recommended at a personal level but not especially useful in politics. The critical tool is the ability to comprehend, negotiate, compromise and articulate why things are necessary.

Having "empathy" for "the left"/"the right" isn't possible. The groups are too large and diverse. Ditto for major components of the left or right like "the black vote", "the evangelicals", "people in cities", "people from Detroit", "the wealthy", etc, etc. Entities that you can have empathy for or agree on facts with are too small to be politically important like individuals or families. Politics is done by large groups who's beliefs are too nebulous to align.
It's not enough to have a well-vetted implementation. You also have to use RSA safely, and there are pitfalls to using it right that ECC algorithms don't have.

So, sure, use RSA certs for your TLS connections, and I guess, fine, use RSA SSH keys,

But don't add RSA to new designs where it doesn't have to be there.
Michael Malice has outlined the 4 major red pills in approximate order.

1) I'm being misled systematically

2) I've been misled since school

3) They are fully aware of what they are doing

4) Given the choice, they would prefer me dead over defiant

In my estimation this is clearly establishing 1 & 3. The people arguing on this forum are victims of their trusted information sources. But there is no way the Biden campaign and professional media whose job it is to suss these things out had no idea.

The hard part is not falling into Gell-Mann amnesia. We saw this with our own eyes and know they misled us. When the next news story comes out, will we just accept it as fact? Most will, I admit I catch myself struggling with this.
"Why should they cooperate with a party that spent the majority of the past four years trying to impeach a legitimately elected President"

This is some very Fox Newsish spin. Trump was impeached because he commited a crime worthy of impeachment. He actually did about 10.

I believe in climate change. But were also seeing major changes on the rest of the planets in the solar system as well and last time I checked, we weren't burning fossil fuels on Mars the past century.

The sun is the shared interface we have with the other planets, and I think its the main driver of climate change we are seeing. And above that the galactic magnetic sheet is likely driving the sun and driving the magnetic fields changes were seeing.

Pollution isnt cool, but co2 is the least of our concerns right now. The 12000 year cycle here and it's going to be a rough ride.
I have built multiple amps of different types and topologies. Each one of them 'sounds' completely different. This is the reality of amplification. There is no perfect distortionless amp at all frequencies for all speakers. The interactions between the circuit and the impedance presented across all audible frequencies by any random speaker are infinitely variable. The sound of an amp is the combination of all factors in the system, which includes physical interactions and their response to the variations in presented impedance.

So yes, an amplifier shouldn't sound like anything, but they always do in reality. Within that reality, we can make judgments about the general qualities of certain types of amplifiers. If you want to comment on my question please do. Otherwise, kindly go away, and keep your comments about your magical fairy tail land where all amplifiers are perfect to yourself.
The term socialist had no meaning in the US. It's just slander from the right and has been for over a century.

In any case, Biden was called a socialist before he picked his VP. e.g.

You can break a 160 bit EC with a 1000 qubit quantum machine. An equivalent 1024 RSA bit key needs about 2000 qbuits. (The following paper has a cool table and formula for working out how many you need for each)

https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0301141.pdf

My incredulity is in the idea that Google and the NSA apparently have 1000 qubit machines that can do that, but not 2000 qubit ones (and you should be very confident that will remain the case in future).

Note that once you're at the "I have a stable 1000 qubit machine that can perform complex calculations" realm, you can consider doing things like entangling it with that other 1000 qubit machine you have lying around, bringing yourself rapidly into the 2000 qubit realm. Getting to the first part is really hard. If you can pull that off, you're probably only a few years away from the second. The main thing that's stopping us from doing that today is that the (physcial) qubits we've made so far aren't stable enough; getting to a single logical qubit is anticipated to take 1000 physical ones.

So, this could be done in 1 of 2 ways:

1. There would be detailed ballot initiatives that contain full legal proposals, details of their execution, budget, etc. and voters simply vote "yes" or "no" to them.

We see this as referendums and ballot initiatives. When used sparingly for "big" questions, this works well, but when used routinely, it puts a pretty huge burden on voters to be continuously informed.

Take the California ballot this year. There was a ballot initiative about regulating kidney dialysis procedures. If it were the only ballot initiative, I might have had time to research it, discover the motivations around it (is it because of safety, or protectionism for an industry?) the consequences (does it need tighter regulation? do those regulation costs fall on the consumer?) etc.

But, there were like 20 of these things on the ballot. At some point, it becomes actual work to figure out all of them and research them thoroughly enough to know what the consequence of your vote would actually be.

Ideally, you'd have some sort of agent working on your behalf, sifting through the consequences and political motivations, and navigating the 'yes/no' votes in a way that aligns with your ideal outcomes. This is, theoretically, what politicians already do :)

2. Instead of exact legislation, you specify a general intent. Say that you were generally pro-environmentalism. All things being equal, you'd like things to go more towards environmental preservation, ending climate change etc.

Ok, cool, but now there's TONS of room for interpretation. Extreme case, as executor of this mandate, do I have carte blanche to do anything as long as it decreases the carbon footprint? Anything? Induce a famine to reduce usage and consumption of goods?

You'd probably need a more thorough statement of general intent and sentiment. Political parties (outside the weird US system) basically have this. They release a document, usually called a Party Program, which outlines their philosophies and intents.

Theoretically, you're voting for the party and the person you elect is someone who is ideologically dedicated to realizing the intents of the shared Party Program to the best of their ability.

This system works really well when there's a diverse collection of parties with different ideologies, different levels of concrete plans to realize these ideologies, and paths available for such parties to gain legitimate power and sway in the government.

The US 'parties' are missing quite a bit of the above, but I personally think having many parties and fixing our voting systems so such parties can eventually be in congress/the presidency would create a system where issues that people actually care about would be implemented (roughly) in ways they would approve of... at least much moreso than they are now in the US.
> Is there really any common ground?
There can be. On an individual level, where there's mutual trust. At the right time, better not in the heat of this moment.

I remember having a very fruitful discussion with a Trump/Pence supporting friend, somewhere in the middle of Trump's presidential term.

My friend's background as a conservative evangelical is _very_ different from mine. He is a decent and caring man, and I am 100% sure he'd describe me in the same way.

It started with hearing the news together. A few discussion points were Trump's pussy grabbing video, his anti-intellectualism, and the environment. The discussion also meandered through science and religion, religion as a fertile ground for symbolic language and ended up with virtue signaling.

We were able to come to the conclusion that this Trump-evangelicals alliance would damage them for years to come. How it would be better for them to ally with decent people instead, whatever their view on religion.

And here we are...

"on the basis of improbable claims of collusion with Russia"

Didn't Trump actually ask Russia to hack the democrats?
The doc is incorrect, `let`(and even `var`) does perform as well as `const` in optimized code (but it comes with performance cliffs, if there is a re-assignment).
Doesn't it say so in the last paragraph of that section?
I completely agree with you. I have winced about that being thrown at Trump ever since the incident - I think it was horrendously poor wording, but it was actually him in his own way attempting to unify people.

However at the same time I want to clarify that I'm talking here about a level of facts even more basic than that. That is still an interpretation of what he said but at least he said it. We have an even deeper problem right now where people believe things that are completely totally untrue. Things that are provably not true without any need to bring any interpretation into it.

For example, how do we have a reasonable discussion about how to fix social justice if one side believes most of Portland has been taken over by anarchists burning cars and smashing windows of every shop and the other things it's a peaceful hippie commune covering a block and a half? Somewhere in there is an objective truth. If we can't get to that, we're never going to have a productive discussion about the underlying problems.

You use ECDH to establish keys for sessions or files. You use ECDSA and ECC-Schnorr stuff like Ed25519 to sign things. That covers 99.9% of what RSA is used for. HTH.
We seem to be deficient as a species and highly susceptible to dehumanising mechanisms. Propaganda is surprising effective especially given its so obvious.

One thing I also notice is it seems that the effect rarely goes past about 40% of the population, which is only an issue in a First past the post voting system or in a country where voting has been suppressed so decreasing numbers of people participate.
India has first past the post. Over 25 different parties got a seat in 2019 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Indian_general_election)

I think having political alliances (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_alliance) helps in that.

Now, whether that’s a good idea is debatable. https://web.archive.org/web/20081220163843/http://www.econom...:

“Of the 522 members of India’s current parliament, 120 are facing criminal charges; around 40 of these are accused of serious crimes, including murder and rape. Most Indian politicians are presumed to be corrupt, which is less surprising. In India’s poor and fractious society patronage politics is inevitable“
Not sure if V8 does this, but a general strategy used in HotSpot is to compile assuming the good case and install a "trap" to deoptimize the code if the condition is violated. So you could compile the let like a const with no checks on the use of the variable, but have a trap such that if any code ever tries to assign to that variable, all code compiled under the assumption that it was constant is throw out.
I got $65k in 2015. I know your pain well. I was trying to break into the area as a graduate from the PNW. No one but small startups would reply and they took advantage of my dwindling savings. My story is similar as yours as I had nowhere else to go since no other places in the country were responding but all these startups in the bay area. They were exploitative assholes and knew it completely. I never stopped interviewing and found a place eventually that paid the normal $110k/yr for entry-level positions but it took about a year after I started that first post-graduation job. Pretty terrible experience up until that moment.

Guess I should mention - I wasn't even on H1B. I'm a US citizen. I feel bad for people on H1B who have to live like that and can't escape that level of exploitation. I think it hurts everyone involved.
The reason why they are stored are because hotels need a way to 'guarantee' the booking. This means if you don't turn up they can still charge you for (e.g.) the first night of your trip. A pre-authorization wouldn't work as these typically only last for 30 days, and as I understand can still be declined in some cases. I assume hotels would prefer to use their own credit card terminal, vs Booking.com et al as they get better rates, so even charging for the first night wouldn't be great. I'm not saying this is right, but there are good reasons behind it.
It looks to me like so many are bothered by Trump because he didn't wrap all the lying and cheating and manipulation in a likeable, family-friendly public persona, like the presidents of the past did. He certainly said a lot of outrageous or false things, but policy-wise he didn't really make any horrible decisions.

So many of you want to desperately believe that the abnormal situation in the US can be pinned on one man and that once he's gone everything will go back to normal, or if not the situation will normalize to a certain extent. That just doesn't seem possible.

Trump is just the convenient scapegoat for the disastrous globalisation which hollowed out American industry, for the race but especially class conflicts which were never really settled and for the ultra-aggressive capitalism which creates many more losers than winners and for the two party system which is fundamentally vulnerable to corruption.
Because the results are very close and several lawsuits are ongoing over the election outcome in several battlefield states, it’s more and more clear that this election will be settled through the judicial system.
So the solution to a proven algo plus mature implementation with some issues is to... switch to a green algo with a green implementation?

Schneier is wrong. Notably: this is not a subject Schneier has particular expertise in. There's a layperson belief that "cryptography" is a single domain, but it is subspecialized. You might take Schneier seriously for block cipher cryptography (though that field has moved far past the last serious engineering writing Schneier did about it), but I don't think it was ever the case that Schneier was someone you'd take to the bank for asymmetric cryptography.
Spotify doesn't have all the music I want either. I'd need to pay for 3 different services, that don't allow me to own what I purchase and can delete things from my library at any time.

The history of the US shows that 'in time' means hundreds of years to get nominal equality, a hundred more years for that equality to be even moderately enforced, and continued harassment, mistreatment, and open murder by the state fifty years after that.

Perhaps, but though the Constitution lists only minimal requirements for the presidency it's clear that the authors had the belief that the will of the people should be curtailed in plenty of circumstances.
I bet more Trump voters believe QAnon is real than Biden voters.
> The only thing this time was the politician was incompetently bad at hiding it.

The word "only" implies that all other times all other politicians were competently good at hiding it.

Are you gonna answer my question or do you just want to play logical footsie?
I don’t think this can be done without altering social media algorithms to revert back from the “engagement-maximizing” firehose of vituperative extremist polarizing political sludge they pump into everyone’s feed these days.
$2000/day is what you'd pay for a web application for an appsec shop. Double that for cryptography from a focussed cryptography practice, and add 50-75% on top if you're getting reviews by PhDs at Rambus, like Intel does for new designs.

Anti-fascism is terrifying?

I don't think this about republicans or any other political group, but if you're a Trump supporter after all that has happened (birtherism, 'grab her by the pussy', banning an entire religion from US entry, separating children at the border, 'Jews will not replace us', refusing to denounce and hiring white supremacists, 'fine people on both sides', 'when someday I leave [office], whether it's in 4 years, 8 years, 12 years, 16 years', praising Putin, Duterte, Kim Jong Un), you are beyond the pale of civilisation. You have supported racism, fascism and a naked grab for power and the destruction of democracy in the US and around the world.

If you break the rules of civilised society and violate the right of others to exist or vote, you can expect to be shunned.
I'd always heard the problem with class AB was less that both devices were on, but that when it's switching off one side near the zero point, that action added noise.

There were a lot of branded tricks in the dying moments of "stereo as a status symbol" (early 1980s) which tried to mitigate this. (Technics New Class A, JVC Super-A, etc.)
There's a great Boneh talk discussing the history of elliptic curves that refutes this weird argument. At any rate, the history of elliptic curves and RSA in cryptography is intimately intertwined.
You don't even need to patch any files - you can patch classes at runtime using a "-javaagent" library.

There are plenty of libraries out there to facilitate this such as Javassist or Apache BCEL, and lots of legitimate uses (AOP, instrumentation, etc).

I refer to virtually all outlets except the conservative ones (e.g. the ones you listed except Fox). As I said, the problem with the coverage is that it is based on their framing, i.e. running USPS like a business. There are so many articles about whether USPS should be run like a business because of this framing. This is a false permise. Trump administration simply co-opted "business" for sabotage. Mainstream media fell into the trap. By arguing whether USPS should be run like business leads to the impression that Trump administration was running USPS like a business. Also, there are many articles in which if we read beyond headlines, we would find comments from opponents of Trump that Trump administration sabotaging USPS. This is merely both-side-ism at work. To learn the truth, one needs to already distrust Trump and disregard their statements.

Then, all of a sudden Trump administration said that they would suspend/revert the changes. The mainstream media all rushed to report the statements, even though they were lies. There were no reporting of similar scale once the lies were uncovered. This is also the reason why Bill Barr was able to destroy Mueller's investigation - by first lying that there was no wrongdoings to gain enormous coverage and then escape scrutiny when truth was uncovered due to subdue coverage. As I also said, the mainstream media knew that Trump administration lies consistently. They should really ignore what they said and simply report what they do and don't do.

In summary, the mainstream media are really poor in conveying the big picture because Trump administration successfully hacks them and because they are unable to adapt to this adversary.
It's almost like the roles of government, such as medical access, social security and law enforcement, should not be run as a business
