> Conversely, I'm not keen on the idea of having to manually wind my watch, or remembering to fix the date at the start of every month.

Side comment, we're well past this stage now. Pretty much every popular watch vendor (Seiko, Casio, Citizen, etc) makes a multitude of atomic clock sync solar models spanning the price spectrum (~$200 USD+). I am an analog watch fan but have been buying them for at least a decade; you set it up the first time, slap it on your wrist and never touch it again under normal circumstances. Just works.

RSA is a "public key" cryptography system, where you have a public key that everyone's allowed to know, and a private key that you keep secret. Anyone can use the public key to encrypt messages, but you need the private key to decrypt messages.

(You can also use it for digital signatures, where you provide a copy of the message and also "encrypt" the message with the private key; anyone can publicly decrypt it. If the "decrypted" message matches the original, then the signature proves that the message was signed by someone who has the private key.)

RSA works by starting with two large random prime numbers P and Q. You multiply P and Q to get a number M, and that number becomes part of the public key. An attacker who knows P and Q can compute your private key and decrypt your messages.

RSA assumes that it's computationally infeasible to factor M back into P and Q. It's supposed to be something like O(2^n), where n is the length of M.

A fast factorization algorithm breaks that assumption, allowing attackers to decrypt messages and forge digital signatures.

If Schorr has found an algorithm that does this, I would say it "destroyes the RSA cryptosystem."

(My guess: it probably doesn't work, because drafts of this paper have been out for a few years and the sky hasn't fallen yet.)

That's a ridiculous oversimplification. Republicans tend to be anti government power, but A-OK with other kinds - notably both Big Business and Big Church. I guess that qualifies as anti-authoritarian in the sense that "authority" and "power" aren't exactly the same thing, but that's not a particularly useful definition IMO. It's more a difference of opinion about which kind of coercion is worse.

> I don't see any problem with eating meat, given that I'm an animal and some animals eat other animals' meat.

Some animals rape other animals in packs, have territorial wars resulting in killing for nonfood reasons, and torture and/or kill other creatures for sport. Some animals eat their young if possible. Juvenile females are impregnated and give birth as soon as it is biologically possible. Some animals keep slaves.

The fact that other animals do something is no justification for us to do something, for exactly the same reason that homicide, cannibalism, rape, torture, etc etc is not justifiable just because some humans do it.

I have yet to see a justification for eating meat better than "I like it, and I can". Weak as that is, it is by far the strongest argument out there.
I question what design expertise is needed to come up with a palette that Dieter Rams has come up with. I don’t see any objective or even a deeper understanding of contrast, accessibility, color blindness considerations, application specific aspects, historical analysis, etc. that would be way more illuminating than “Here is a list of some cool palettes from famous designers”.

We are discussing art. Design is a lot more objective than you’re implying.

If you can’t tell what goes into coming up with a palette, then it’s up for debate and questioning.

The exam's done wrong. Intellisense mostly gives you navigation in a big project (shouldn't need that in a written test) and method name auto-complete.

Remembering it's ToString() and not tostring() or PrintAsString() is pointless. What matters is computational thinking.

It doesn’t (didn’t) play too well with the full screen hotkey windows.
I'm not confident that it would. There doesn't seem to be a clear connection between the transaction rate and the power use. That's not to say that the power use is or isn't "worth it" or whatever.

But, I think that one way the "energy per transaction" framing is misleading, is for exactly the "if you scaled up the transactions, the power use would scale proportionally" idea.
First, it isn't clear to me that it is even possible to scale up the transaction rate without either making the security worse or substantially modifying the design (or possibly both), but if you did manage increase the transaction rate, it isn't clear to me that this would impact the total energy use rate at all.

Well, ok, it might influence the power used by influencing the price or the issuance rate.
But, aside from that, I expect that the power use would be determined by whether someone profits by increasing the amount that they spend on power in order to mine bitcoin. This doesn't depend on the transaction rate.
Err, ok, I suppose technically if the transaction rate were higher, miners might get more transaction fees, and really the relevant thing is issuance rate + transaction fee rate,
but I suspect that the average transaction fee would decrease if the number of transactions were increased, so that impact should be small I think, because those two should largely cancel out.

Hm, ok, so if the transaction fees are determined essentially as an auction, what is the effect on the average fee per transaction, of multiplying the number of items (slots in the block) available per amount of time? I think this depends on the demand curve for transactions. I don't know what that curve looks like.
If we pretend that it is linear (just pulling that out of a hat. Though I guess if we zoom in far enough it should look locally linear, unless we zoom in too far and then it will look piecewise constant due to discrete numbers of people... whatever.), then, --- I should get back to work, shouldn't be doing this calculation right now.

They've been saying the same shit about Bitcoin for over a decade. I started fucking around with it in 2010 on a spare Asus laptop I had with a Core2Duo. Glad I did. I thought it was intriguing then and I believe in it now.

We've seen the exact same cycles over and over and yet no one seems to "get it". When the block reward halved from 50 to 25, the price skyrocketed, then crashed. When the block reward halved from 25 to 12.5, the price skyrocketed, then crashed. And after every crash, there was a recovery.

Guess what's gonna happen the block reward halves from 12.5 to 6.25?

Go on... take a wild guess.

Worldwide central banks are printing money nonstop, literally by the trillions, which is great if you're in a shitload of debt, but not so hot if you're holding a lot of cash assets. Well you can't "print" another 21,000,000 Bitcoins. And BTC is just the first of the cryptocurrencies. It won't be the last, and it probably won't even be the one the world eventually settles on, but make no mistake, this'll be where humanity goes.

I wonder why no one bothers to ask how much power all the payment processors in the world like VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, Stripe, QuickPay, etc. and so forth use... oh yeah, that's because in their mind they're "legitimate", whatever the fuck that means. This illusion that seems to grasp everyone's mind and never let go utterly boggles me. Its a bunch of made-up bullshit, including Bitcoin, yet for some reason people hang onto it like its a loaf of bread they could eat to stay alive.

All these currencies have as much value as a bunch of people think they have. Period. I've never seen someone eat Renminbi and stay alive. Never seen someone build a house out of British Pounds.
My experience with Netflix is the opposite. When you press play after pausing a show, there is an eternity during which it has a dark overlay blocking your view of what you're trying to watch.

Why do content streaming platforms assume that you want to watch everything other than the content?!

YouTube does this too on my TV, and it's infuriating. Not only does it hide half the screen for a long time after the content starts playing, it then helpfully hides most of the screen before the end of the content also!

This is the computer equivalent of someone shoving their hand in your face to block your vision.

It's rude when a human does it. It's rude when a computer does it.

Trying to write any kind of complex interactivity with JQuery event handlers is a serious pain in the butt, and it's so hard to go back and read.

I did the same as you; moved on to Vue and haven't looked back. My frontend code is so much cleaner and easier to debug. I've built a large library of components, so often times adding a new page only takes a couple hours re-using those instead of writing a bunch of new JQuery from scratch.

JQuery is great when I need to make (non-contentful) changes to the DOM. But I refuse to use it for managing the state of my app or putting content in UI components.

That’s why animations are important contrary to what many say here in the comments (and I agree that putting them here and there just for the sake of it is bad).

I will be very frustrated if I spent the last year social distancing, masking, and avoiding socialization with friends and family only to have bars, concerts, and socialization spring up everywhere else before I can get vaccinated. Sure, I'm young and healthy, but I don't want to risk potential long-term effects or spreading covid around to folks I socialize with. Can we please just wait for everyone to have vaccine access before we start easing regulations!?!

This statement is meaningless without knowing how many black employees were eligible or applied.

Only one of those is a racial stereotype, and a single incident does not imply systemic racism.

This looks exaggerated at best to me. Everyone experiences downleveling regardless of race.

Back in mid-2019, IBM took down their old IBM Library Server mainframe documentation website – http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/library – it was absolutely fascinating, it had documentation on mainframe products going back to the 1990s, and even other random stuff like a bunch of obscure IBM software packages for OS/2. Their new mainframe documentation site only has recent releases on it, it is missing all the old stuff.

So given that example, I doubt this is going to continue forever either. Sooner or later someone is going to say "FTP is a security risk, we need to replace it with SFTP". And then the old FTP site will disappear and be replaced with a new SFTP site with far less content. Or the hardware it is running on will fail and be too old to be replaced. Or someone will complain the OS or FTP server software are out of support and that makes them a security risk. The whole thing is only an audit away from oblivion.

I hope you mean the JS ninja one because I just bought it week. Do you remember a particularly impactful section?
Bitcoin last peaked at a hash rate of 170EH/s[1]. That's about 2^61 double SHA256 hashes per second. There are about 31.6E6 seconds per year. So around 72.5E24 hashes/year, or 2^86. VERY expensive, but 2^80 is well within brute-force range. I'd consider any symmetric system with less than 112 bits of security to be potentially breakable within the next few years. For anything over 50 years, I'd want a 256-bit security level since general purpose quantum computers might be made within that time.

But RSA is about a thousand times slower than double-SHA256, yet it still needs such large keys for security. That's because nobody is going to brute-force RSA, there are far better options. Like the General Number Field Sieve. Of course that's still exponential, this paper claims to be polynomial time for the vector-finding portion, not sure about overall. I've only skimmed it, and it's rather dense.

But that's exactly the point. People eat 5 million head of cattle at McDonalds annually. Beyond Meat will hopefully need a lot less soy feedstock than cattle ranching for the same burger, so it should be a strong improvement.

> Companies like McDonalds, KFC and PizzaHut are responsible for the normalisation of industrial food production that is causing widespread environmental destruction and they have no incentive to solve the problems it creates. Switching to plant-based alternatives will simply change where the damage is done.

This seems like a reasonable prior, if you had no evidence about the specific harms of meat production vs. Beyond Meat. But given the widely documented harms of beef production (devastation of the Amazon for soy feedstock/grazing, GHG emissions, water usage, etc) and the lack of evidence of similar levels of harm from potential replacements like Beyond, I'm curious as to why you're indifferent to potential improvements in the worst parts of the food supply chain.

It seems like a non-sequitur; "McDonalds' current practices do harm, McDonalds is considering a new product, therefore new product must do equal harm."

It sounds like you do care about the harms; do you have specific evidence/comparisons that indicate Beyond actually is as bad as beef for the environment?

My model here is that companies like McDonalds are completely indifferent to the negative externalities they impose on the environment, except inasmuch as they become financial/reputational liabilities. I see no reason to assume that a plant-based alternative must, a priori, be bad, just because McDonalds are rolling them out.

As a thought experiment, consider if they had vat-grown beef, produced in each store. This might have the side-effect of halting environmental devastation and reducing CO2 emissions from transportation. Would McDonalds pay extra for this? Probably not. But if it's significantly cheaper than farmed beef, then I think obviously yes, they would use it. I don't think you could make the generic statement "switching to vat-grown alternatives will simply change where the damage is done" without providing a more rigorous analysis of the specific processes involved.
