If it’s on social media then it has to be true. Logical fallacies don’t increase in validity merely because an echo chamber grows or else everything mentioned in r/thedonald could never be a lie.

A small collection of keyboard warriors see division because they want to. Without something to ground their baseless opinions they becomes just as absurd as they appear outside their echo chamber.

Coincidentally my same opinion is also well upvoted in a different thread. That doesn’t make it more of anything.

Yes, the fact that you reached for Hitler to compare to the guy whose daughter and son in law are Jewish, and for whom there are _parades_ held in Tel Aviv does indicate you're rather severely gaslit.

There are Perl interface libraries for everything, so it is often a really great choice, even if it is no longer sexy now that the peak CGI-days have gone.

One thing that I like about Go is that it promotes testing as something that should be required, but in my experience the vast majority of Perl modules also come with very good test-case coverage, it being the source of the TAP format after all!

I've written a few new sites and APIs using the CGI::Application framework over the past few years, and I'll often knock up simple transformation scripts in Perl to glue APIs together and perform ad-hoc transformation of various tools.

Although I've mostly started writing new services in golang I don't feel the need to go back and rewrite stable systems in perl.
There is an alternative to such polarized views. In many countries, politics is just politics, it happens in the background and is about as heart felt as the weather report.

It can be controversial and felt by all sure, but it shouldn't be a lifestyle or ideological platform that the general public use to divide themselves.

It's backoffice stuff, for the most part, and I am too busy being friends to really mind what someone's political views are, if they even think about it much at all themselves.

Now more than ever the US needs democracy, and the government needs to work harder than ever on protecting it.

But I argue that the people of America, the general public, need to give it a bloody rest with the politics. Be humans again and meet your neighbors as you are, part of the same cohort as citizens. Your vote is just as powerful, no matter how many flags, banners, or yard signs you have. Your vote is what decides the direction of your country, not the chest thumping and rallies and flag brigades.
Pretty much anywhere that depends heavily on spreadsheets also depends heavily on humans in complex ways. Humans are checking that different versions of the spreadsheet haven't gone out of sync, have been sent to the right people, are only updated when they are supposed to be, etc.
Nice try NSA.

On this topic I think I'll go with Schneier and continue using RSA in general, and PGP in particular. Also Veracrypt is a good choice for an overall solution.

harimau777 asks:>Is there really any common ground?<

First one must ask whether there is "common ground" within the factions of the Democratic party itself.

Once victory has been declared and legislators and executives ensconced in their offices, a feeding frenzy will ensue within the Democratic Party. Each faction will demand that their agenda be pursued first with the most money, time and effort. Unfortunately resources are limited (in particular time is limited to 4 and, in some cases, 2 years). Political infighting amongst these factions will increase to a level so intense that people may long for the return of Donald Trump.
For TLS certs, you can just use ECDSA. Let's Encrypt has a ECDSA root.
Interesting article. Ironically, while reading it I started to think about how I didn't have this problem when I was younger. I could hyperfocus on a book or video game for 12 hours straight, while today I can barely read a chapter without thinking about what I have to do the next day. Makes me wonder if it's a fact of age, bad memory, the depression I went through at the time or just fewer responsibilities.
If anyone’s curious about the Swiss system, here’s a guide that I believe I found on HN that explains it in great detail:

I wonder if this can be statically analyzed? If I have two child components that request bits of data, in theory those requests could flow up the component tree and only be triggered at the root by a component that intelligently coalesces requests: add in some logic to bucket requests by some amount (50ms/100ms) or some logic to explicitly trigger pending requests and it might allow the best of both worlds?
> Accurate, valid, trusted polls don't have these flaw

Yes, they do. Because (among many other reasons) humans have a choice whether or not to respond, you can't do an ideal random sample subject to only sampling error for a poll. All polls have non-sampling error on top of sampling error, it is impossible not to.

Cool. Can you run RDR2 under Linux?
The concern, "we had to buy a million hard drives to store users' photos," ends up being fairly weighty. At the very least YouTube itself is an advertising platform... people buy ads on YouTube and those ads pay for the massive computing and storage running it. People don't buy ads to put in your personal photos and having a bigger training set than the next guy isn't enough of an advantage to pay for all your disks. Cloud photos may be smaller than YouTube but it's not small enough to "fall in the cracks" and get funded with spare capacity from running other "real" services, it's undoubtedly got real, proper funding which is justified because of how it positions Android in relation to iPhone, and how it positions the Google ecosystem within Android.

In other words, Google wants Android phones to use the Play Store, and free storage on Google Photos is part of the carrot.
It comes with the territory for a fast moving language with new extensions like -XDerivingVia[1] -XLinearTypes[2], more often than not backed by a publication where its interaction with other features is considered. Some extensions are purely syntactic and are quickly understood -XLambdaCase[3] -XBlockArguments[4] -XMultiWayIf[5]. The compiler will suggest missing extensions. There is enough to hs98 for a lifetime of study (see work of Graham Hutton[6] and Jeremy Gibbons[7])

It could also say 'will become the most South Asian woman ever to...', doesn't mean that she has only now become South Asian.

'highest-ranking woman ever to serve in government' just makes it sound like her 'high-ranking' is independent of her serving in government to me. Especially given that it's a bigger more general milestone than the preceding sentences.
I think Donald Trump is about to become a "Kingmaker."

Trump TV.

He's going to broadcast his message 24 hours a day. Attacking everything Democrats do, attacking every Republican who reaches across the aisle.

He'll have on everyone who agrees with him.

This may be on OAN, or he'll make his own new channel.

Remember when liberals laughed that the'd love it if Donald Trump ran for President?

What if he started a new political party?

I mean, on the face of it, people would say, yes, draw votes away from Republicans.

But... What if they start winning elections at the state level, and then in Congress, and on?

If I were Rupert Murdoch, I'd be negotiating to set this up right now.

If I were Donald Trump, I wouldn't let anyone else own any of it. I'd let them advertise.
I was a lefty my whole life, but this BLM/covid lockdown crap was the end for me. I hardly see how 14 unarmed black men (most of not all instigating/resisting) killed by police in the entire US in 2019 represents the biggest problem for black people. My mom works in the public school system and wholly agrees. The last thing black families need is "defunding" the police. And all these lockdowns over a virus with a 99%+ survival rate? It's not just "fear and anger" for us, in the word's of the left... facts matter.
I’m Building a Personal Platform Why You Should Too
Social media is now a primary target for foreign election interference, I'm sure that's a major cause. In 2016 Russia targeted Clinton and supported Trump. But they also generally tried to increase division. One ugly thing about that is disinformation campaigns would actually get support from some Americans.

The House is Democratically controlled, but Republicans control the senate, so there's bipartisan agreement on this.

Wut. This is just false. D-Wave provides the "quantum computers" that others have and they're completely irrelevant when it comes to breaking ECC (or RSA, for that matter; ECC is broken by a variant of Shor's algorithm, which is used to break RSA). They're quantum annealing chips, not general-purpose quantum computers; they literally can't run Shor's algorithm, now or ever.

We're orders of magnitudes out (qubit-wise, on real quantum computers) from breaking RSA or ECC in practice, and the difficulty level is on the same order for both.
This seems to work better as an argument against rolling your own crypto than an argument against RSA in particular.
Evidently, yes: https://www.protondb.com/app/1174180
And to make it even more ironic, this comment was dead, and invisible to most HN readers.
>the "right" pretends they don't exist.

Most people in the right don't disbelieve the coronavirus exists, they just think it's not dangerous enough to warrant massive government impingement on people's rights to free movement, association and commerce.
But the thing is that it isn't.

RSA is much harder to make secure that even simply ECC. It is systemically hard to make time it timing safe, more or less any mistake I padding completely compromises it. More or less every single operation involved in computing RSA exchanges is susceptible to timing attacks.

Then as the article says, it's very easy to choose "bad" keys. Bad keys are ones that aren't prime (I mean duh, but primality testing is probabilistic and has been found to go wrong before).

At a theoretically level RSA and ECC are essentially equivalent (in the sense that the maths is based on the same core problem), but the details of how it's approached is really important.

Then when get to basic practicality. ECC keys are much much smaller than RSA for the same level of security - 256 bits vs. 4-8k - and while RSA is faster than ECC, the advantage is severely impacted by key size, so secure rsa keys will be slower the equivalent ECC in not too long.

That's before considering the network traffic cost and latency for key exchange and certificate validation.

The only advantage RSA has over ECC at this point is that it is conceptually easier to understand - the mathematics are all basic primary/grade school arithmetic on simple whole numbers.
Based on what I billed out at at comparable shops, anywhere from $250-400/hr. Maybe $500 if one of their more crypto-focused people looks at it, but that'd be pretty unlikely for a whole codebase.
It's an extra-lame counterpoint because male mosquitos don't bite, and they're only releasing males.
This post ignores the fact that most users of RSA do not have to worry about these low-level implementation issues because they are using mature and well-vetted implementations.

Also, this part in particular displays an alarming lack of nuance:

> if you come to us with a codebase that uses RSA, you will be paying for the hour of time required for us to explain why you should stop using it.
According to protondb, sort of:

That comment goes off the rails once it starts talking about quantum computers breaking encryption (and only ECC, not RSA).

Yes, (real) Quantum computers can break ECC and RSA encryption. I have no idea why they think the NSA (and apparently Google as well) has secret Quantum Computers that are capable of breaking ECC, but not RSA.
Sounds like you're not interested in making money.
I agree. I don't think the vast majority of conservatives are intransigent, just so emotional wrapped up in their beliefs that they're completely unable to distinguish fact from fiction. I don't think it's a coincidence that it happened to the party that Barry Goldwater referenced in this prediction: "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." It's not a coincidence that the qanon conspiracy is chock full of rhetoric about satanic rituals either.

> And as much as I want to encourage a new spirit of unity, I fear that if that becomes an excuse to not confront this problem, then it will actually just make things worse.

Here's why I have absolutely zero faith that a spirit of unity will work: this "situation" has been festering since the founding of this nation and every time "unity" prevailed, the can was just kicked down the road. We wanted "All men are created equal" and got the 3/5ths compromise. We tried to save the Union, only to give up on Reconstruction before it could even really begin while institutionalizing slavery in the 13th amendment. Instead of letting general Sherman raze the south, we paid for their rebuild on the backs of "free" African Americans and let them institute Jim Crow laws to continue the oppression. When the Civil Rights movement and desegregation finally came home to roost, it caused the biggest political realignment in this country's history taking us up to this point.

We wanted the best, but it turned out like always.
I'd be interested in this is well, for the simple reason that this would de-clutter my desk when I'm using a desktop PC already and I wouldn't need to switch back and forth between two different keyboards.

It's somewhat similar to some all-in-one PCs where I think they don't look too bad, if only they came with a video input port so that you can use it as a display for other devices, or simply as a monitor should the PC part become obsolete some day.

From what I can gather, this is however not a built-in feature of the Pi 400 and will probably require some tinkering (which might be an interesting project in and of itself).

I also understand that the Raspberry Pi Foundation's goal is to offer this product at a certain price point, and that even though many of the wishes for additional features you can read in the comments here and elsewhere are each not unreasonable by themselves, every part that is added comes at an additional cost, and that they usually decide against it if it's something that is only used by a small fraction of the user base.
I kind of entirely disagree with the your read on the situation. The struggles that America has aren't that it doesn't have a common culture, the struggles are that it has too many veto points in its political process so it is extremely difficult for popular majorities to execute on a political vision, and it is extremely difficult for the population of the country to hold their leaders accountable when the multiple veto points lead to a diffusion of responsibility. The struggle we have is that popular majorities cannot enact their policy preferences, and then do not receive electoral feedback based on the policies they enact. America doesn't need a common culture, it needs a better feedback loop for things to go from idea -> popular will -> political power -> policy change -> impact on the people.
Every PC game developer sweats piracy. Windows is targeted first (or only) because it is the vastly dominant gaming platform. But the piracy aspect is real, and important, and it hurts Windows gaming.

If you are developing a Nintendo Switch game, you can focus on building a better game, instead of anti-piracy techniques, or futzing with hardware incompatibilities. That's iOS too.
According to the article the breach included credit card CVC numbers, which should never be stored. This is a huge deal.

> He's been pretty clear about wanting to address systemic racism, the green new deal, a science-based response to covid, valuing international coalitions, etc.

Those are all standard centrist neoliberal goals - aside from the green new deal, which Biden already explicitly said won’t be anything nearly as radical as what AOC/Bernie were shilling.
I just changed my PayPal password today; they restrict the length of a password to between 8-20 characters. Why the upper limit? Once you're at 20, you're likely using a password manager, so another 20 wouldn't hurt.
I initially disliked the article as well, but I think it makes a fair point about misuse-resistant libraries. Or as you put it, "correct vetted tools".

Where are all the secure hybrid RSA schemes?

I use RSA-OAEP for tiny messages and feel quite good about it. But that's not a general purpose tool. If I had to manually do all the steps to properly combine it with AES for block or streaming encryption, I'd be in danger.

libsodium is seriously ubiquitous and you only really have to worry about nonces.

> I’m not sure why Jack Dorsey should get to decide what’s true just because he invented a social media platform

That's the fundamental misalignment of understanding in this era: he doesn't. He gets to decide what his platform hosts and how he spins it. The determiner of truth is, as it has always been, the audience.
I never tried using Unicode characters while posting on HN.

The depth seems to matter more than the width, at least as long as the layers are sufficiently wide. In fact, in the limit that the layer becomes infinitely wide, you just end up with a Gaussian process. In practice a width of ~100--1000 is sufficient to get behavior that is pretty close to a Gaussian process, so in general doubling the width of a layer doesn't gain you all that much compared to using those parameters for an extra layer. The real representational power seems to come from increasing depth.
The could version isn't really an option for serious customers.

Svelte is the lead of virtualdom less `ui=f(data)` language/framework. It's the only one you can mutation DOM without its program being corrupted (though not sure if you try hard, it could be)

There is only 1 thing that would make me switch from Elm to Svelte is template as a function. Make it compose like functions! So that you can have as many as functions you want. With current Svelte, these functions are bunch of files .. unfortunately.

And Trump is the first politician that has lied cheated or manipulated situations to their advantage?

The only thing this time was the politician was incompetently bad at hiding it. And I say that as someone who would have been delighted with Sanders.
As a minority considered “disadvantaged” in the US I’d like to counter that there’s a lot more to the right than lack of empathy for minorities or fear. I’m very appreciative of the opportunities provided to me here and don’t appreciate the recent cultural tendency to privilege shame people or to look back on the history here as only cruel or exploitative.

Trump saw the highest turnout among minorities for republicans in 60 years and it’s for a reason. I look back at Ben Franklin or Jefferson or Washington and feel inspired, I don’t think “oh, I’m not privileged I could never do what he did.” I can see people as products of their time and separate the good from the bad. As someone who grew up in an apartment shared between 2 families and worked my way up into college and the tech field I’m just shocked at how many people today have grown into learned helplessness and think that the system is so bad and irreparable that they need to vandalize and protest in cities for months.

The left has done so much more to insult me and my appreciation for this country than the right, and it’s just tragic that they think they’re the only good guys. I really do believe that foreign interference to agitate our society is real, as discussed by Tristan Harris in his interview by Joe Rogan, and it’s convinced millions of young Americans that they’re somehow resisting literal Nazis.
How can you tell good marketing from bad?
It's high time we stopped pretending that and understood that even neutrality is, itself, a stance (i.e. there are criteria determining what is "neutral," and those criteria are chosen by the platform).
