I have to say - I'm very jealous of my few friends who somehow managed to get a new place in the last few months. Their new contracts are already at the lowered prices so they don't have to fear the backrent like I do (and my reduction is quite big as I was paying way above the average for the area due to having a hard time finding anything in the first place).
You're assuming that the only purpose of the post is so people can copy the palette outright. I see it more as a way of educating oneself of what others have done to see what works and what doesn't. If you like an artist's work, it's worth analyzing what they do so you can incorporate ideas into your own work (or not).
Can someone please correct me? We don't know polynomial CVP/SVP algorithms correct? In fact, isn't SVP an NP-Hard problem? Why would this "destroy" RSA?
They only tested with numbers size of ~2^800, which is around 240 digits, but I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) there exists usages of RSA with over 600 digits, so it'll still take a massively long amount of time to factor those numbers...
The author of this paper is Claus P. Schnorr[1], of Schnorr signature fame.

The paper has almost the same title as a 2017 draft paper[2] of his. The “This destroyes the RSA cryptosystem” quote is not in the linked paper abstract. This seems fishy.

Some people think it is. In many legal jurisdictions, prosecutors and cops rely on the idea of a 'true threat' which has to be specific and imminent. So a generalized expression of hate like 'all _____ should die' wouldn't count. Here's a relevant example, about a woman in Michigan who eventually resorted to shaming her neighbor int he media because she had no confidence in reporting to police:

https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/wayne/2021/0...

The problem with a very mechanistic/binary approach to legal questions is that it leaves a lot of room for antagonistic or outright threatening behavior that nevertheless remains within the bounds of legality. Experience suggests that's likely better than vague or arbitrary standards, but it's not a simple issue.
Complaining about storage costs seems weird, when data generated by those trackers is literally orders of magnitude larger.
There is a big difference is growing plants for human consumption when compared to growing feed for an animals and then consuming the animal meat.

Basic biology says that when cattle eat feed only of portion of that feed ends up as meat.

The farming industry actually measures this using a measure called the Feed Conversion Ratio.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_conversion_ratio#Beef_cat...

For example the FCR for cattle is over 4 meaning for every unit of animal mass you'll need over 4 times that mass in feed.

This basic biology means it is always be more efficient to grow vegetables for direct consumption than to grow them for animal feed.

Yeah, I was eliding all the pieces as to how to get there. I think they're more likely to have unpunished rogue employees, I think they're more likely to have poor security practices, and so on and so forth.

A friend of mine was on the team that investigated the Twitter 'breach' that got those Saudi activists disappeared. Through personal experience I find it easy to believe that technique would have been more effective on a Chinese company but since I cannot communicate that experience and since you don't share it, I can accept that our views must diverge.

And yes, I'm also a drug-using dark-web crypto user. Had to keep that one quiet from the investigator friend, eh?

Technically it’s a column oriented database that is good at time series stuff. I only say that because I know there are some databases that are even more specialised towards timeseries and ClickHouse can do way more.

I* think the average person probably shouldn't/wont care about Bitcoin. Bitcoin will become something that only the sort of entities who directly interact with the ACH system are worried about.

If Bitcoin succeeds, I don't think it is likely the average person will ever touch Bitcoin: it is technically complex to handle it securely. However, many of the Venmos and Squares in this future would likely be using Bitcoin to settle flow disparities behind the scenes.

In terms of what it's solving:

- Bitcoin has a much lower barrier to entry. It is very expensive and slow to get direct access to the ACH system (vs having your bank make transactions on your behalf).

- Bitcoin is apolitical. Banking and finance is still very much an old-boys network of after hours handshake deals. Bitcoin lets you swim with the big fish without having to worry about kissing the right asses. Similarly to claimed noble benefits of public markets, Bitcoin has a democratizing effect by not having a mechanism to favor entrenched players.

- Bitcoin is insulated from US monetary policy. This tends to appeal to gold-bug types who believe inflation is being underaccounted and will get worse.

- Bitcoin is permissionlessly auditable. I wish there was more development in this space, but I think bitcoin could be very powerful for non-profits and other organizations which want to be as transparent as possible with their finances. If an organization wanted to prove holdings or transactions, Bitcoin is arguably better than bank-money because Bitcoin txns cannot be forged, while documents being alleged to be coming from a bank could. (Similarly, I think it would be really cool for a bank to make an option for fiat accounts to have their balances and transaction history published publicly online)

* I am certainly not speaking for all Bitcoin advocates

I have not seen Gab ban blasphemy. Andrew Torba has been pretty clear that any speech that is legal under the US Constitution (with a few exceptions for directly/personally violent threats, doxxing, etc.) is permitted on Gab. A small number of people who have abused the rules have been banned, but in every one of those cases that I'm aware of, it was for generally antisocial and abusive behavior, not the content of their speech.
Typical key lengths for RSA these days are 2048 and 4096 bits.

I don't know what that means for this paper, just happened to have those two key lengths off the top of my head.
"grandfather clause"

The removal of rent control only applied to new tenants. He was limited to a city controlled yearly mandated increase, the entire time I was there. He also couldn't kick me out unless he moved into the apartment himself for some period of time.

He also had to put my deposit into an interest bearing account and was required to pay me that interest. The rental increase and payment was a ritual I went through yearly with him and he always delayed giving me the interest as long as he could by law.

2-3x+ more rent is enough reason for a landlord to want to push someone out in a competitive market like Berkeley. There is always a stream of new tenants because it is a college town and limited rental housing is available.
This doesn't reduce factory farming it, it just changes it.
I'm out of my depth. Disclaimer applied, I genuinely wonder how fast this "fast factoring" method is in this case?
Your definition of google-free: Completely zero code input, developer overlap, or potential design influence by Google

My definition of google-free as it relates to phones, and I think the more common one: No callbacks to any Google service such as Play store, google cloud messaging, or any of Google's usual default android applications.
The way the browser integration works means it just sometimes doesn't pick up that the app is open.

There is a ton of little polish stuff like that which makes it way harder to use for people with little tech experience, and I've had normal people struggle with more streamlined experiences like BitWarden.
> Reasonably enough, as a forum aimed at free speech, Gab wasn't eager to pay the hideous storage and networking costs

...of allowing certain speech.

Because that's, obviously, what “free speech” means.
Markets pick winners and losers all the time. It's just that winners in market housing situations are always the people with the most money.

It's difficult to make an argument that it's a more virtuous way to select winners, compared to 'the winners are the people who were here first'. Both are fundamentally unfair. Life, in general, isn't fair.

Rent control doesn't exist to maximize overall virtue. It exists to minimize disruption and upheaval in people's lives. You're explicitly excluding that from your criteria for success.
Senior here. I was afraid if typescript will follow C# or Java's type checking. Both are too strict, verbose and inflexible.

I was afraid to introduce complex generic types because it isn't easily represented in typescript, or to change a struct from "person" to "employee" will need to map each properties individually.

Thankfully that wasn't the case.
“No more secrets”
If that's the case it's funny to think... NSA could have sat on this for years. Though that would be a really hard secret to keep.
Frequently, even on places that don't have "rent control", there's still limits on how fast landlords can jack up the price on a tenant in the place, but that doesn't apply to new tenants. So if you can only raise the rent by $100/mo once a year, but the market rent for the place is $1000/mo higher than current, you've got 10 years before you actually reach market rate.
I've tried to use TiddleWiki, and while it's an impressive piece of software, it suffers from the same issue many other community-run open source software does: it's ugly, and hard to use.

Yeah, I get it, there are themes and plugins, but still, all of them are ugly.

And that's just the surface, I've had a few deeper complaints too.
Trump has changed his party affiliation five times since 1987. He was a registered democrat for many years, even going on CNN and discussing that he identifies as a Democrat. While campaigning as a Republican he said repeatedly that he didn't align with the party's platform. Then, after all that, he recently was talking about starting an entirely new party.

> Trump thinks he’s a Republican.

His own statements, both during and prior to his time as president, strongly suggest otherwise.

> When your mental model is persistently at odds with the way things work out in reality, you need to reexamine your mental model.

You're absolutely right.

What are some good books / papers here ?
This last sentence of the abstract, "This destroyes the RSA cryptosystem", does not appear on the abstract of the actual PDF (which also appears to be dated).

How does it destroy RSA? Under what conditions? That claim sounds rather broad and definitely bold, to say the least.
I currently own a Pebble Time Steel, but I love the idea of getting an open source watch I can build my own (very simple) UI for that might outlast the hardware.

I guess it's a bit like the itch of building your own desk or some beautiful wooden furniture - I like the idea of slowly refining my own watch software until it's perfectly suited for me.
> it seems unnecessary

Sorry about that, it's something I often see on HN and it hurts.

I could already imagine someone making such a tasteless comment about China - and I don't like to read that and I thought maybe acknowledging the tendency would avoid it.

But skip that. My personal opinion do not matter.

Just read the actual paper, maybe after reading reference 5. If you enjoy phylogenetic research, and how we figure species are related to each other, it's a wonderful moment: first the prediction, then the discovery.
I would be very skeptical if there is indeed a poly time algorithm for integer factorization. If that's actually what the paper claims then it's a very big claim.
Huh. First time I've ever seen "@" referred to as the "monkeytail sign" (pg 15)
That's an interesting point, but isn't it also true that hydroponics are currently just not a very economically feasible option?
Why not look at consumer reports (https://www.consumerreports.org/)? I purchased a subscription and use them quite a bit. The problem here is in willingness to pay. If companies are willing to pay to promote their product, you will need to pay to get objective information. Any attempts at free objective information is going to be vulnerable to pollution by those willing to spend resources.
There are no open LoRa alternatives yet?
Maybe I’m not doing anything particularly challenging with it, but I’ve not found anything lacking with the join functionality.
There's a difference between cryptography broken in "theory" and broken in "practice". Couldn't find anything relevant to that point in the paper. Who here is qualified to make that assessment?
Interesting, that sent me down a bit of a Wikipedia rabbit hole, which took me to this interesting quote: "there is no antidote or remedy for DNP once taken. In consequence, DNP has a high mortality rate — of those who presented at hospital between 2007 and 2019 with a history of having taken DNP, 18% died. This puts DNP close to cyanide in terms of its toxicity."

So that means that only a fifth or so of people who went to the hospital after taking cyanide died! Surprisingly low...
Bitcoin isn't exactly running rampant in North Korea heh
I don't think this is true. People don't care about the thoughts and emotions of the animals we eat and we can eat other huamns, just as cognizant as ourselves, easily enough. Cannibalism is common throughout human history and there have been even quite advanced societies that practiced it widely, for instance the Aztecs.

In any case humans have killed other humans for all sorts of reasons that do not include eating them, again throughout history. Why is invading another peoples' land and killing them to take their stuff any better than killing them to eat their meat?
Oops, I mean years instead of days. Can't edit the comment now...
If the demand for beef plummeted over night, they wouldn't release the cows into a field to live out the remainder of their lives.

At best a drop in demand will reduce the population size of future generations of cows. It doesn't fundamentally change how they'll be raised or treated.
I did not found the sentence "This destroyes the RSA cryptosystem" in the real PDF https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/232.pdf
Is this fake news?
I mean, "worked at Facebook for a while" isn't a guarantee of competence. And some security boilerplate text isn't a guarantee of being good at security.
Given the claims I would have wanted the paper to include factoring for some of the known rsa public keys to demonstrate feasible time.
EDIT: that draft appears in clearer sources with the same spelling, disregard below...

He also apparently misspelled(?) his own name. It's "Claus-Peter" (also on other publications), not "Claus Peter". agreed, seems odd.

The linked page links to the full article as a PDF, though I'll be honest and say it still doesn't help me fully understand the ramifications of that statement.

I feel the same about my Casio Tough Solar. I've had it around 6 years and it feels like it'll never get old. For the last year or so I've been wearing a Pebble Time Steel and while I appreciate the extra features I know that one day it will stop working, and I'm sure my Casio will be there waiting.

About the Pebble -- I am definitely a fan, and haven't yet seen another smartwatch with its particular appeal. After playing around with a lot of watchfaces I ended up almost always sticking with an analog face which I'm finding helps me visualize the passage of time a lot better than a digital readout.
If only Google were like IBM we'd still have Reader.
It's like Twitter calling Rails LEGO because they weren't able to scale it :)
what school did you go to? My university (Radford) did teach Ada as well the first year, way back in 1999, and switched to Java after it.

I liked Ada a lot, but Java gave me employment after school.

This argument always reminds me of Margarine, which was promoted for years as having great health benefits, and then we later find out that it is loaded with trans fats and actually terrible for you.
It appears on the linked page only, it is someone's assessment of the result. Whether that person is qualified to make that assessment is anyone's guess
I do think the moderate conservatives to have a little bit of work to do as far as political theory goes in this area, specifically the synthesis of the positions "companies should not be allowed to fire employees for far-right beliefs" and "companies should be able to hire and fire employees for nearly any reason* and at any time."

*save for a Civil Rights Act violation, which is usually recognized as a harm across the board

Well, Rails was < 2 years old then, so everything was new in Rails.
And process it, and transport it, and process and transport the meat after we've slaughtered the livestock.

Part of meat's increased GHG emissions are because their are so many more steps in bringing it to market and because it doesn't last as long.
Most plants are harvested, cleaned/processed, and transported to market. Livestock generally needs feed, which is harvested, cleaned/processed, and transported to the livestock, and after livestock is slaughtered, it needs to be cleaned/processed, and transported to market, and on top of that it tends to go bad faster.
That’s just the Chaucerian spelling.
So, 616 and 1233 digits, respectively.

I'll leave to the other comments to combat the factual inaccuracies here but - there is an inherent and substantial efficiency loss in consuming secondary consumers.

A ton.

jQuery is still holding up the client side code of a lot of projects I've worked on and doing a pretty decent job at it.

Sure they could be rewritten to not use it but there really hasn't been a business reason to do it.

Though I personally wouldn't use it on a new project moving forward that's for sure.

My personal anecdote is that I've shifted most of my meat consumption away from red meat to Beyond Meat burgers, chicken, and fish. I only eat steak as a special occasion now where I used to have steak regularly.

If there are more meat substitutes out there that taste good and aren't exorbitantly priced I'll absolutely eat more of them.

My wife is vegan and let me try her Impossible Burger at a local chain. I am not vegan so she wanted to know how accurate the taste was. It tasted exactly like a frozen burger you'd cook on your backyard grill.
And it only catches a trivial minority of actual security problems, which can occur in a lot more ways than use after free/etc.

IMHO, Rust simply isn't good enough at catching all types of bugs to justify rewrites at this point, and its likely when you look at some of the work being done at the processor manufacturing companies that they don't believe it either.

Consider: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/arm/mte,

There are quite a number of these in the pipeline, which make some of what rust does redundant.
I imagine that they'll tweak the flavoring for customers like Taco Bell, who wouldn't want the over-the-top smoke flavor. Like others here, I have tried Beyond as a ground beef substitute (in chili) and found it to be way too smokey.

On the other hand, Impossible + ground turkey makes a great chili.

This is the question I have too. Looks like they have far too many employees (IIRC around 10-20x their biggest rival Ahrefs, who incidentally aren't losing money). The headcount can't be all of it though.
Of everyone I know, the very few who looked for and somehow got a new flat right now benefit even more as they don't need to fear any backrent - their rent is lower from the start.

In my case, yes I benefit from the lowered rent but it's even harder to move if I want to (which I would if it was easier), I might owe a pretty big amount if the law is overturned, my flat is now getting sold and the other tenants are writing on the walls and threatening 'war' over the sale (even though realistically nobody here can be kicked out for 10-11 years after the sale).
That may be the case for some car fanatics, but by and large the average person simply wants easy and flexible transportation. If public transportation were better, lots of people would opt to take the local train/bus/ride share because it would be a fraction of the cost, with ideally only slightly more friction as a passenger.
This makes no sense... like, I assumed this would be "spin up your own Ethereum-compatible proof-of-authority chain", but this is marketed towards running your own node for the public chains? Amazon should just be charging for the API calls to a single giant scaled-up node setup they run, not charging people to run individual unrelated nodes.
