The best-known problem with PGP is its poor usability, but that's not its biggest problem. It's biggest problem is an archaic design that literally predates much of modern cryptography; most egregiously, PGP is almost never forward-secret, and almost always relies on long-term keys, which is a deadly combination.

A more fundamental design issue is simply that cryptography engineers long ago abandoned the idea of a single toolset or even a single standard design that handles multiple problems. Messaging cryptography is not the same as backup cryptography, which in turn isn't the same as secure transports, or package update security.

This isn't so much a prevention of tooth decay as it is a contribution to the hydroxyapatite crystal structure in a non-regenerable part of your tooth.
I think this is fascinating and am going to check out the documentary when I have time. One big reason is that I love old news footage and when I tried to track down some big local events from the SF Bay Area, I was either unable to or found that they were prohibitively expensive.

this is really neat!
I'm going to piggyback off of this to rant. I felt like the "psyonics and corporate subterfuge" gets axed midway for the "keeping people in cryogenic stasis" shtick. Like Pat is set up to be all that with incredible reality shaping abilities and then that just gets shunted.
The more bandwidth gets actually used, the lower the oversubscription ratio can be before customers start complaining.

Yup. Little more egg shell a little less “primer white”.
"This all essentially boils down to “freedom.”"

But school is about creating obedient subjects so that the government can maintain status quo. I don't see them promoting anything that is radically different which has the potential to undermine the thought processes that support out institutions.

Legally speaking, coverture laws stuck around until the 1960s. There was certainly a gradient both de jure and de facto, in time and in space, but my grandpas certainly beat my grandmas like they were property. One wouldn't stand that crap, and left his ass. The other was just subservient. I have cousins whose husbands won't allow them to learn how to drive, and only let them spend money on groceries. De jure, they could leave at any time. De facto, they're treated as sub-human. Today.

I was an undiagnosed autistic growing up and I begged my parents to homeschool me. Thankfully my two best friends were already doing so and we were in a liberal area where we could make this happen and my parents (less so my dad) were reasonably open to it. His main objection, "You'll never get into college" was put to rest when I found data showing that being a homeschooler puts you in a smaller pool than "Random highschool grad" and college admissions people are smart enough to keep an eye out for home schoolers, so in all my chances actually went up. I don't have my GED but I do have a BA which broke German bureaucracy when I went over there to continue studies.

Anyway grade school was tough enough for me and I very much believe that I would have ended up hospitalized or suicidal/dead had I gone through highschool. Giving options to children who are non neurotypical (I don't envy ADHD kids) and suffer from behavioral issues is crucial. A lot of people without these problems have very serious psychological scarring from high school so put a kid suffering more challenges in the mix and it becomes clear what you're dealing with.

I was able to study what I wanted, at the level that was appropriate for me, on my own time. I ended up taking a number of distance learning classes as well as community college classes and got college credits for them. I was really held back in middle school with this. A lot of people ask "weren't you lonely" but I didn't have anything in common with most other kids and the school environment was toxic and overstimulating to me. I hate that people's knee jerk reaction is "You must have been soo lonely" and it really shows you the truth about high school honestly..it's NOT about learning..it's almost some hazing ritual that people are stockholm syndrome'd into.

I don't have the link now but I saw some surveys and it's something like 99% of home schooled students wouldn't take it back for the world.

Depending on dialect, cai can be pronounced choy, tsoi, sai etc.
Theres more to an idea than how much a billionaire can trick you to part with it too though.
If I were to guess, the correlation to happiness (if any) has more to do with how the extra hour in the morning is used. It’s likely that people find themselves with an extra hour in the morning and do something more fulfilling than when it was at night. Whether it’s more personal time, a nicer breakfast, or even just taking more time to get ready with less anxiety of being late - all can be fulfilling in their own right. Whereas that same hour before bed all to often becomes mindless screen time.
If you're an academic researcher, you probably don't care as much about the ownership of IP when compared to a potential to see your work get used and to build a reputation as a competent person in your field.

Also, the work wouldn't necessarily exist without the funding.
I lived for close to four years in South Korea, working mostly from inside cafés and often spending an entire work day inside them. There were plenty that were set up for this - they often catered a student crowd that would hang out there for long durations studying (quite a few had open for 24 hours, too). It meant the drink prices were quite high since it was basically rent for a seat.

Alternatively some dedicated study cafes would require a flat fee for a time duration and make drinks cheap instead.

It was also fairly common to leave laptops plugged in and leave for half an hour to grab a meal elsewhere and come back.
Ya, I have long gotten over feeling guilty for sleeping in. Whenever it comes up, I usually just ask how early they get up and say oh, that's great to get an early start like that. I was still working at that time too.

Yes the more people you mute the more it starts looking for contrived stuff to fill up your timeline.
The problem here is "fourth" as if dimensions can be ordered. Time is a dimension, and together with three spacial dimensions that makes 4.
I’m sure this is a general comment on the electoral college, but it’s always bothered me that criticisms of the electoral college (generally made by Democrats, since they are negatively affected at the national level) tend to completely ignore the fact that a huge portion of people are disenfranchised in nearly all states. I imagine that Republican voters in California feel just as frustrated about their electoral votes going blue as Democratic voters in California are about the relative value of their electoral votes (which they get to control completely).

The focus is on the national outcome so much, that actually enfranchising voters is seen as a problem. And unlikely other ways of suppressing and disenfranchising voters, it’s perfectly fine to discuss and strategize around this.

Personally, I’d much rather see states send proportional electoral votes than a national popular vote. Perhaps that can fix the problem here? Give the counties to Idaho, but on the condition that both Oregon and Idaho assign electoral Nebraska-style — everyone is enfranchised, and you have an outcome (from those states at least) that is practically guaranteed to be representative.
Is there a correlation? The homeschooled kids I knew of weren't pulled out for bullies or any other issues.
I’ve found that early mornings are the best when I need to write while late nights are better for programming. It may be that running on deadline-induced adrenaline and caffeine pushes me to turn off my internal editor and write, while I need the low-energy calm of a late night to stay focused on my code and only my code.
As others have mentioned, this is a shame. I found the Phabricator review model much more flexible and easy to work with than GitHub and Github-clone workflows.

It's basically the traditional ultra-scalable mailing-list + patches workflow, but with very nice tooling and UI on top.

I'm going to miss it when I leave FB some day.
I just want to note that reading your last sentence, “It’s sleep, you’re supposed to be bored.“, just felt like a revelation to me.
Also homeschooling isn't mainstream and is largely populated by parents with extremist religious beliefs that harm their children's development and who choose to homeschool because they are afraid of their child escaping into non coercive social relationships.
Also: try nanohydroxyapetate.
I went to a "bad" inner-city high school (ie, poverty and the the things that go along with that, gang activity, kids being regularly sent to jail), the type where well-to-do parents in the city would pay to put their kids in private school or move to the suburbs, but the school had thousands of students. It wasn't too difficult to find a group or two to fit into. Everyone definitely did not get along, but you didn't need to get along with everyone...
Good question, no. It’s too late to edit my original comment but I went probably every two or three months for a few years. The relief was immediate and continual and the migraines, back spasms, etc. never returned but I did get maintenance injections. I don’t know how to describe it but I could kind of feel that was wearing off. Like I feel my jaw muscles getting stronger and that’s when I’d make an appointment to go back. Eventually the follow-up appointments started to spread out further and then they stopped. I still don’t chew gum, though. As soon as I chew gum I can feel those muscles wanting to bulk right back up!

It’s my understanding that Botox weakens the muscle and people who clench/grind their teeth have very strong muscles so you kind of keep going until the muscle is atrophied(?) down to a normal strength. So I would imagine the earlier you go for treatment the shorter the amount time you’d require treatment and vice versa. For more severe cases there’s actually a visible difference in your face, too. It’s too subtle for most people to notice but I can look at photos of myself and tell you whether it was before or after I started botox. When your jaw muscles are so strong it makes your face more square.

Here’s a good example of what I’m talking about: https://www.realself.com/photos/botox/botox-for-tmj#media-ph...
I'm curious if you have a regular workout schedule?

I have also always been a 25-26 hr a day person. But i have found that if I get vigorous exercise that day, then I am actually more like 24.
Is this based on a paper/demo previously posted on HN? A vaguely remember seeing the faces elsewhere.
I think these algorithms should just die. Facebook was actually good when the feed was just all the things my friends had posted, nothing more nothing less. But then they started tinkering with algorithms and trying to find stuff I liked. Well they don't know me yhat's for sure. I had to weed through pages of crap to find one interesting bit. Glad to be off it now but LinkedIn is harder to let go.
I recommend "A Guide to the Good Life" by William Irvine. The title is a bit off-putting, but it gives a good survey of the philosophy and history of stoicism along with good examples of applying it to modern life. After reading it, you might have a better sense of which primary sources will be most relevant to what you're looking for.
The old joke is that when the British colonized a country they left behind railways and a legal system, while when the French colonized a country they left behind baguettes and coffee.

Unsurprisingly, Vietnam is also a major coffee producer.
It is opt-in. You have to buy an Amazon device first.
Would It Even Be Possible to Communicate with an Alien?
Other companies, especially one like Yamaha, actually care about quality, and they can't rely on meme levels of overhype and government subsidies in their production. If Tesla's quality reputation says anything, then indeed they do sell their concept cars.

Yamaha makes excellent motorcycles and puts out some rather wild ones, for example the H2 models.
He was in some documentary about life being a simulation. I enjoyed his Blade Runner stuff anyway. [d]
Comcast already does this. Has anyone been prosecuted for crimes using Comcast hotspots?
Yeah, that's important for quotients by more general ideals, but for a principal ideal in a polynomial ring, it's easier to speak of setting the generator to zero.
he said it himself literally in the preface to the lectures

"The question, of course, is how well this experiment has succeeded. My own point of view—which, however, does not seem to be shared by most of the people who worked with the students—is pessimistic. I don’t think I did very well by the students. When I look at the way the majority of the students handled the problems on the examinations, I think that the system is a failure. Of course, my friends point out to me that there were one or two dozen students who—very surprisingly—understood almost everything in all of the lectures, and who were quite active in working with the material and worrying about the many points in an excited and interested way. These people have now, I believe, a first-rate background in physics—and they are, after all, the ones I was trying to get at. But then, "The power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous.” (Gibbon)"

> Isn't this effectively what a reverse mortgage is in the US?

There are many kinds of reverse mortgage plans, including ones that are functionally similar to this. (But there are also lump sum, fixed payment term, and other variations that aren't.) And even the ones that are functionally similar are technically different, since technically they are loans that come due at death secured by the property rather than a sale contract.
I did it in 1999 when I was 15, immediately started working two different 4 hour jobs and stacked dosh.
I think the key problem is that it creates an incentive for the hopeful buyer to see if they can’t hurry the process up some.
Depends on where you are. Many schools are required to report any criminal activity, including assaults (fights). Then there's the no tolerance polices too.
The scene with Pat is early in the book, when she is first introduced, before they're in a dream world (half-life). Of course, Pat's power lets her change reality (in the real world). Still, I think creating (imo) poorly written characters and falling back on the explanation, "we don't know what's real; everything might have been manipulated" is a crutch. Throughout the novel, I couldn't see any of the characters as real people.

I certainly won't fault you for being glad to have read the book. It's definitely an unusual book.
Jesus. If aliens dropped out of the sky and showed you technology so powerful that it allowed you to restructure reality itself according to your imagination, you would still be like... meh, I wanted rainbows made entirely of blue but that’s clearly aqua marine.
Examples? I get plenty of work done on apple hardware and refuse any other devices for mission critical applications (daily driver devices are all
Apple, because I know they’ll work, without me spending a whole day configuring it).
The vast majority of investment capital is from rich person lending. Do you think the poor are lending all the money in the world? Or is it lent from those with the capability?
But that's also impossible, so not sure what the point is...

> (Many Europeans and Asians I’ve spoken to went to classes each day and then left school to do other things with other people, forgoing the elaborate excess of extracurricular activities that is found at American schools.)

Those extracurricular activities are opt-in activities to be done with other people.

The more kids are surrounded by technology, the more I appreciate structured social activities. Some kids are definitely motivated to get up and out of the house and do things in the real world day after day, but now that everyone is surrounded by endless digital entertainment it's tempting to just stay home and do... nothing.

I have great memories of school-centric extracurricular activities. All of my friends at the activities enjoyed them too. With few exceptions, we weren't forced to be there. We actually enjoyed it and had fun.

I understand that some people had negative high school experiences, but I'm always stunned to read HN comments insisting that everyone must have had a miserable time in high school.

That said, there were a few families who opted out of our high school and decided to home school. The few kids I knew who were forced into home school by their parents were not happy about it. I don't exactly see how forcing everyone out of the high school structure would somehow improve that situation.
The Sydney Opera House construction: A case of project management failure
Yeah, how altruistic of him to hand the idea over to a group of bloodsucking capitalists that'll use it to extract as much profit from the world as possible.
This is akin to 2D beings saying time is the third dimension and being satisfied with the conclusion and happily living in their 2D world.
Love it or hate it, Discord changed the chatting landscape. They're approaching 100 million active users and have inspired countless other chat clients and software like Matrix's Element, or Slack. They may not have built Rome here, but I'd argue that the best innovation just repositions pieces that are already on the table.
Also what's super annoying when doing job searches is that they add this 'promoted' stuff that blatantly ignores your search query. I have some searches set up for jobs in my local Spanish city but every day it adds 'promoted' jobs in the US to it.
Statistically insignificant, perhaps - but usually the good decisions taken by a politician in power outlive them, and have long term benefits - at least, until they are undone by a future potentate, representative of the "bad politician" set.
"mixtape" is a complete misnomer / branding decoration, right?
I don't like that comcast does this without adequately informing customers. But since Comcast is the ISP, at least in theory, they can mitigate some of the concerns, like not counting the shared bandwidth against the customer's limits and not associating any criminal behavior on the shared connection with the host.
You mean like HolaVPN or Geosurf the “free VPN” applications that quite literally install a backdoor proxy on your phone or PC? The parent companies then sell access to the proxies running on your devices as “residential proxies” and also sell access to your browsing history?
I got all my messed up social interaction from public (elementary) school, and homeschooling is how I met the people who helped me heal a little bit. Find other homeschoolers near you.
I went to a school with no letter grades, and skipped a year. Our school used to copy the nyt crossword puzzle, and it was considered ok to work on it in lieu of paying attention. Some teachers would simply tell me not to bother showing up, and I managed to get credit for a number of classes without going by simply convincing my teachers that I'd read the book and understood the material.

For autodidactic people such as the myself and presumably the author, this was great. Many of my classmates required more structured experiences, and I don't think this model works for most people. Abolishing high school is nice for the people who read hacker news, but probably wouldn't work for the vast majority of students
I mean, I did voice my gripes about the hardware of the Apple Watch in my comment. You can't expect me to be surprised/offended/owned when you've willfully ignored my argument too.
Sounds like the tip falls for homophones.
Not only is it relevant, it has been the basis of my entire argument. Whether or not someone does something awful because they lack the ability to express themselves any other way apart from violently, isn't a failure of mine. That lies entirely with them.

Also; note how your argument has devolved from talking about the issue, to talking about "people like (me)" - this happens often when people argue from emotion, not reason. I also never said I hated anyone - that is your (mistaken) inference, which again lends credence to the fact that this is an emotional trigger for you.
How do you use an FFI with C++ classes? My understanding is that you must lower things down to C level, this is a lot of work and not all scripting languages have the same FFI.

SWIG automatically translates (to a certain degree) constructs in one language to another. So a C++ class becomes a Python class. Again, it needs some work to map these things but it mostly just works.
The bill Texas is about to enact does not make any changes to their existing voter ID requirements as far as I know.
Living in Quebec and eating Banh Mi is entertaining to think about. A fusion Vietnamese-French dish that has now been brought to another former French colony by Vietnamese immigrants.

Hakka cuisine is also interesting since it is originally Chinese-Indian but now that people have brought it to Canada I guess the kind we get here would qualify as Chinese-Indian-Canadian.
The “noble lie” on masks probably wasn't a lie
Even if it is just control traffic, it still uses up your bandwidth, and is additional surface area for a malicious actor to attack your network.
