No, there is not, because the question is asked in the conditional tense: notice that it starts with the words "Say you wanted ...".

It's invalid to criticize a conditional statement for the nature of its premise. A conditional statement is not a statement about the desirability or otherwise of the premise; it's a statement about the link between the premise and the conclusion (sorry, I don't really know formal logic/linguistics and those probably aren't the right terms but I do know that what I'm saying is correct.)

For the same reason, every programmer that has ever answered a "how do I" question on stackoverflow by saying "you shouldn't" is not answering the question, since the question is a shorthand for "conditional on the fact that I want to do this, what is the best way?".
>Early evidence strongly supports that Trump's Group publicly launched a so-called “test site” of their “Truth Social” product, based on the AGPLv3'd Mastodon software platform.

No citation given. It would have made more sense to use a friendlier project, anyway, like Pleroma.

But no evidence is needed to be outraged by something that hasn't happened yet. Sad!
I see no technical reason for why we can't create some e-reader that will keep your library much safer for much longer than paper. I see no reason why we can't make some that last for a millennium, if the power supply and storage aren't included and it's kept off in some dry place, out of the Sun's light and never overheat.

But well, there is no demand for tech that will last for a millennium. In fact, people are pushing for degradable tech that won't stay as waste after it stops being useful instead.
I think this gets at the root of the confusion. Talking through this has been helpful, so thanks.

So the main thing is that apparently using a PAKE is not sufficient by itself. Not revealing the password at login time only solves part of the problem.

The second requirement is that the PAKE’s “password related string” that it learns and stores must be something that does not reveal (significant information about) the password itself.

I had assumed that that was a baseline “table stakes” kind of requirement for an authentication protocol in the 2020’s, but apparently that’s not part of the definition here(?)

As to your comment about using the same password to create the verifier and the encryption key, I agree it’s not ideal. But in the real world, what practical alternative do we have?

We have password hashing functions that are pretty good at making password cracking impractical. We should use them and trust them to do their job.

As long as the verifier comes from a hash that makes finding preimages prohibitively expensive (ie, a PHF), then it seems like there’s room to work here.

Or if you have better ideas, I would love to hear them. (Not being snarky here - it would actually be good to get input from someone who works on this stuff.)
Imagine taking a web forum public. Maybe hackernews will go public next.
I started collecting vinyl as a preteen in the mid 2000s because I was (and still am) into rave music and at that time vinyl was THE format to find it on.

I’m not sure if I got in before the greater vinyl revival, but I wonder if it will prove to have just been a bubble, or if there are really enough audiophiles, DJs, etc to keep it going once the hipster chic wears off (if it hasn’t already)
You're right, it's relevant. If you presume he was a fascist dictator, then my test fails.
I don't mean this as sarcasm, I'm genuinely curious, why would you not use macOS instead (given that it ticks all your boxes)? I used a MacBook for few years and I felt it has all of that (well, brew meh), but I couldn't take the inflexibility of the whole setup so I moved back.
What is/was it for you?
We do not take it for granted.

Instead, we design systems to be such because it makes many things much simpler.

This is the reason why UTF-8 has basically "won" over UTF-16 or UCS-4 when it comes to encoding Unicode characters.

If anything, with the amount of data we have today, unless there is a big reason (probably political, but even they exist today for eg. China not to want to use an Unicode transformation based on American Standard Code for Information Interchange) to re-encode all historical data, backwards compatibility will be maintained with the computers of the future (if they still exist). Yes, even if we move their bytes to be 13-qubit qubytes :D

To elaborate on the cost: re-encoding all data from 2050 is probably not going to be too expensive in 2400, but by then you'll need to re-encode data from up to 2400. To me this seems like a reason that backwards compatibility will make sense to be kept because there is not much to be gained. Eg. UTF-8 approach has shown us the best way forward.

The trickiest is going to be to keep all video/audio encoding algorithms, especially as they are patent encumbered.
Popular JavaScript Library Ua-Parser-JS Compromised via Account Takeover
The author of the article phrased it like this: " Once caught in the act, Trump's Group scrambled and took the site down."

I think that implies malicious intent ("caught in the act" - you "catch" criminals).
Default copyright law doesn’t allow for copying the source. AGPL provides people with more rights than the default. Assuming it is a registered copyright, if AGPL license is found invalid then copyright owner could file for statutory damages which could be quite high.

Tweeting for 10k Years: An Experiment in Autonomous Software (2018)
I initially thought that because the graph cites "Revenues by format" that it likely meant that CDs were still selling more units than vinyl records. But it appears that's not the case. At least according to another RIAA doc, in 1H 2021 they shipped 16.1m CDs and 17m LP/EPs.

https://www.riaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Mid-Year-202...
Section 13 begins with "Notwithstanding any other provision of this license..." which opens it up to a whole bunch of mitigating circumstances. The AGPL can score some points and the company changes its practices and everyone moves on.

It may very well be an easy GPL violation, but if you want to completely destroy FOSS, hand enforcement mechanisms to partisans. It's only an issue because of the pariah involved. The article also stated this is just a straight forward AGPL violaiton, and surely it only came to the authors attention likely due to the prominence of the user, but I'd warn that FOSS licenses are artifacts of technical collegiality and trust that is no longer a feature of the society the software operates in.

The story is about a social pariah triggering a license enforcement action, and we need to seriously consider the consequences if those two things are related. The SCO debacle hindered the adoption of FOSS in the enterprise for years just by isolating the projects with the legal threat. Those were naive times compared to what goes on today. Whether it's my hand or just an unfamiliar example of principle is left as an exercise.
It seems everyone wants deep learning to work on M1 chips. At this point, I am quite sure there is enough interest for major frameworks to consider supporting it.
Fwiw, the survey design missed an important aspect of "don't care about location": most people are probably assuming a lot of time zone overlap. So they might say "don't care about location" (true in some sense), but wouldn't have said "Yes! Sign me up for a 12-hour time difference!".
Let the CPU decode/render it i guess, and say bye bye to your battery life.
The idea of powerseeking is an outright reification of power that conflates definitions by assuming the worst possible light. Influncing the market doesn't mean complete control over production - that is an obsession of Marx's ideological descendants. Just influncing it in either direction for any reason works. Providing it cheaper than market rates or convincing others to pay more also qualifies.

If everyone in a village economy is capable of growing their own food on the side for about the equivalent of say $15/bushel averaged out but you have the specialization, mechanization to grow it for $1/bushel margins. Even if you wind up the only one growing food others still have their fields.

If we call increasing efficiency "power seeking" then the term has lost any and all meaning and only serves to confuse and make the most mundane actions sinister by interpreting them in the most conspiratorial light. If you drink commodity coffee in the morning you actively to exploit the rural poor, if you go with more expensive fair trade coffee you are engaged in conspicious consumption of veblem goods while people starve, and if you just drink water you are trying to starve the rural poor.
At best, it's against government intervention and in public spaces.

What If a Great Crypto Crash Is Coming?
The privileged position the Play Store and the App Store have WRT their respective platforms (the App Store in particular) make a fairly strong argument in favor of requiring them to behave as 'common carriers' for apps, but even an extreme version of that view has little to say about a 3rd-party store like fdroid, which really is just one publisher among many.
I'm not sure the latter argument summarized "in liberal societies cultural values change, so no information can be preserved" makes sense. We certainly can access certain culturally preserved texts that are thousands of years old with a pretty high fidelity, even when those texts may contain positive depictions of acts that are considered morally abhorrent today (slavery, genocide, murder, rape, etc) or simply physically falsifiable worldviews.

A very small number of people are fascists. It's just name calling your enemy to incite your people to punch them.

Do the fascists in your country want a totalitarian one party dictatorship, racism and war against other countries? If so, they should know they're fascists and they will be more than happy to tell you so.

I've talked to fascists and they're unapologetic - everyone else you call fascist is just your political enemy and you're slandering them.

> If your morals don't hold up when pushed to their limits

I think you're missing the point here that their morals aren't your morals and they can be entirely self-consistent and do what they're doing if they don't share your exact priorities. They obviously prioritize other concerns above freedom of speech absolutism and they aren't hiding that, thus remaining entirely consistent within their frame of reference.
amazon had twice the accidents as walmart even after their improvement in 2020. They just injure their workers more. Would them reporting even more injuries mean they were a more safe and better working environment for you? How does that make logical sense?

> Lots of consumers buy them directly from Best Buy etc.

Here in Germany every single time they appear on consumer stores in shopping malls, they get promoted every week until finally they manage to get rid of the stock.

It is always an interesting experience to see the same units with different kinds of offers similar to the pile of Android phones close by.

Most consumers have no idea what real Linux is supposed to, they just see a Laptop that cannot make use of the software most of their friends are using.
I did some quick benchmarks the other day between sorted array vs red black tree of https://github.com/preludejs and it looked like rb tree had better generic performance for N > 20k - ie. memcpy is better for most cases/cases that fall under 20k. You should measure of course for your use case. Libraries/your implementation should make it easy to switch between underlying representation.
It's pretty rude to insult someone by calling them an "attention deficit teenager" regardless of what they're working on. I would recommend against quoting that article.
Wikipedia aside, the idea that Pinochet was a fascist is disputed. I recently read a book that defended him as serving the role of a dictator in the Roman sense. It is not "obvious", as you claimed. You don't get to decide if something is obvious, if its disputed, it's not obvious.
>What changes have they made that need to be redistributed?

It would be really easy to tell if they released their source code.

But considering how they have been trying to hide the fact that they're using Mastodon, they've at least done something.

The article says this is "the latest battle between a Big Tech giant and a smaller technology firm." Roku is a technology spin-off of Netflix that went public on its own and last year reported revenue of nearly a billion dollars.

Sure, Roku is "smaller" than Google, but I disagree with the characterization of Roku as some poor upstart that's getting ground underfoot by Big Tech.

As a musician, I've always been just used CDs as a surface for which people can feel good about giving me a bigger tip at the small places I play; lots of folks are fine with high markups on merch, but won't tip musicians at all for some reason.

I've been on vinyl albums... I don't think they are great for a lot of reasons. They do encourage folks to give you money, though. And they certainly show a commitment to artistry that CDs never quite had.

If you just want the music, streaming is better on almost every front. If you collect them and need to move, they get to be super heavy. They are bad for the environment. Your acoustics are probably the limiting factor in your listening environment, so on and so forth.

It's an interesting moment to mark, to me, not because vinyl is selling more, but because the industry is doing so poorly in general that the relatively niche format has overtaken what was the dominant physical medium for decades.

That is to say, this is the point where we might understand physical recording distribution to have finally died.
>"Really, Senate representation is set up to uphold the status quo on slavery. It's supposed toaesre that the free states cant outlaw slavery, and so that slave states cant change the due date for when slavery would stop."

Senate representation was one of many bulwarks against majoritarianism, which was one of the founders' principal concerns, for a variety of reasons.

I don't think this matches what the thread is saying. Longshoremen are highly unionized, but they are not the bottleneck -- they are blocked because they have nowhere to put the containers they unload.

Jefferson created what is called the Jefferson Bible[0], it is the story of new testament without any magic or superstition. It primarily consists of the words of Jesus and his moral teachings over his worldly actions. I think it's best to read Jefferson in a similar way. As a paragon of virtue Jefferson fails, but he has some wisdom to share on the nature and design of large scale human organizations. I don't think Jefferson would've wanted to look over the New York City Council anyway, he's probably much more at home in a library or museum.

Google at this point is just coasting along on its old reputation, while consistently behaving in a way one might expect from the Microsoft of old.

Couldn't you just self-ID to one gender, have your cake, self-ID back to your original gender and eat it too? It's not like there's a centralized record enforcing your gender. It's all the honor system. In this day and age you just declare your new gender/preferred pronouns/preferred name on Twitter and that's that. No prescription from a doctor, no legal name change, nothing. Just a tweet and you are done. Nothing is falsifiable.
> NVIDIA Optimus technology which is used in most laptops often doesn't work well in Linux.

In cinnamon in testing I just had to right click and run on dedicated GPU. In a minimal environment I just ran steam that way and games ran via steam seemed to inherit the setting. One can also edit the command that will be run by steam or by the desktop shortcut to prepend optirun/primusrun. This didn't seem notably harder than Windows.

> Linux drivers are usually much worse (they require a lot of tinkering, i.e. manual configuration)

I recall in 2003 having to do tinkering but since around 2006 it was replaced with package manager install nvidia drivers. I'm honestly not sure what universe he lives in.

> Most Linux distributions do not audit included packages which means a rogue evil application or a rogue evil patch can easily make it into most distros, thus endangering the end user (it has happened several times already)

This sounds like an absolute ton of money that nobody wants to pay for. Most Windows and Mac users get applications by browsing the supremely user hostile web and installing software that auto updates itself meaning the second a library gets pwned and pulled in by ___ it will happily push out version n+1 that cryptolockers your family pictures and sells your credit card numbers. THIS has been happened a few times already.

> No unified widely used system for packages signing and verification

There is no single group of people writing or verifying software and since Linux isn't a single company I don't see how there is ever going to be one. Again lots of very boring work that requires people to be paid to do the boring work nobody would sign up for free.

> There are no native antivirus solutions or similar software for Linux

Presumably because there isn't a huge body of people constantly becoming infected such as to be willing to pay for their performance to be degraded for the sake of voodoo safety measures that mostly don't catch new or emerging threats.

> Say, you want to install new software which is not included by your distro - currently there's no way to check if it's malicious or not.

There is no way to do this effectively on windows because a package could be malicious in a way that isn't immediately obvious or would become malicious later. Most actual safety is reputational.

It sounds like the chassis traditionally will arrive with an empty container, and then swap it for a full container. They can't do that now if here isn't a place to drop the container.

Temporarily lifting the zoning restrictions + employing chassis solely to move containers out of the yard (instead of swapping them for empties) seems like the fastest fix
