I have a Prius Prime. It's a really solid economy vehicle with a lot of tech. It's plenty fast and a lot more affordable than a Tesla. The Prius Prime also had a heat pump system years before any Tesla models had them. If I could comfortably afford more car, I would want a Model Y over a RAV4 Prime. But, I would probably get a RAV4 Prime because it's a lot cheaper.

What's the distinction when donating to the foundation vs signal directly ( https://signal.org/en/donate/ )?
interesting work, will need to dedicate time to read this. From what I understand, this is for WebKit only? So this does not apply to Chrome based rendering. And this doesn't seem officially supported by Apple, so this is more of an academic curiosity rather than something that we could practically expect to see in Safari?
Is the nuance here that the ASA is OK with p-values but not OK with the rhetorical phrasings around statistical significance? My take is that it is easy to casually misinterpret or misrepresent statistical results because of how fuzzy these language around it all is. Phrases like "statistically significant" imply a certain kind of causality to the reader, when the actual rigorous claims are very specific and nuanced. Moving away from such soft phrasings might mean people have to stick to precise and narrow claims, whereas the normalization of soft phrasings makes room for bad claims or bad interpretations.
I don't disagree, for the most part. Part of the "fun" of crypto and de-fi is getting to re-invent financial engineering concepts that have been regulated into non-existence by the traditional financial system.

I just don't see a space for everyone to be happy: if we want crypto to be currency 2.0, it needs to be as unfun as possible, and then you get back to regular banking. If we want crypto to be fun, then we're never going to escape this cycle of "hype and fomo sees people chasing the next coin" to "lots of money went poof" and "someone got rich by making someone else poor."

The problem lies not in encryption or key exchange itself. It’s in the fact that to make/use a solution that doesn’t suck in real life, you need a budget comparable to the entire crime you commit. As a developer, you may [help] create few keys and set up the encrypted scene for sending emails or even insecure chat messages, but your gang will fail even at groceries. All these apps are selling turnkey security in app stores, not something brand new.

can't you just tell your friend a key and exchange it offline and then communicate freely with no middleman

Yes, keywords are pubkey, fingerprint, diffie hellman. It’s easy to use, just run:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.pem 2048

to generate a key pair, then export pubkey via:

openssl rsa -in private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem

Once you have you exchanged pubkeys and checked fingerprints offline, simply create a new secret key:

openssl rand -base64 32 > key.bin

and encrypt that new key and also your message with it:

openssl rsautl -encrypt -inkey id_rsa.pub.pem -pubin -in key.bin -out key.bin.enc
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in message.txt -out message.enc -pass file:./key.bin

Now just send .enc files over the wire. It is trivial to decrypt at their side, even my grandma can do that. She usually leaves raw files in her downloads folder though, but it’s easy to remove them via local crontab job.

> The modern use of "gender" to mean social aspects of sex (or sex) and the historical use of "gender" to mean sex are still actively used. In a very real sense, these are exclusive and oppositional categories

No, they aren't. They are distinct axes of variation, but not opposed. (There are factions which are opposed on normative relations between the two categories, with one holding that the physical category should definitely determine the social one and one not holding to that view, but that doesn't make them antonyms; it does make them potentially confusing if care is not taken to assure what sense “gender” is being used in in a particular context.)
Favorite quotes:

> members of the committee, for the most part, were about equally altruistic. IBM's Dr. Fred Ris was extremely supportive from the outset even though he knew that no IBM equipment in existence at the time had the slightest hope of conforming to the standard we were advocating. It was remarkable that so many hardware people there, knowing how difficult p754 would be, agreed that it should benefit the community at large. If it encouraged the production of floating-point software and eased the development of reliable software, it would help create a larger market for everyone's hardware. This degree of altruism was so astonishing that MATLAB's creator Dr. Cleve Moler used to advise foreign visitors not to miss the country's two most awesome spectacles: the Grand Canyon, and meetings of IEEE p754.

> In the usual standards meetings everybody wants to grandfather in his own product. I think it is nice to have at least one example -- IEEE 754 is one -- where sleaze did not triumph. CDC, Cray and IBM could have weighed in and destroyed the whole thing had they so wished. Perhaps CDC and Cray thought `Microprocessors? Why should we worry?' In the end, all computer systems designers must try to make our things work well for the innumerable ( innumerate ?) programmers upon whom we all depend for the existence of a burgeoning market.

It's possible for someone born into poverty to get scholarships and college loans to get a higher education. (Sometimes it's not the best deal in the world, but that's not the point here.) It's a large expenditure, but it's a one-time expenditure; once you have the education, no matter how poor you are for the rest of your life, you still have it.

No one's going to give you a loan to get a $500/month "AI companion" for the rest of your life—in part, precisely because it's for the rest of your life.

What you are proposing can not be seen as anything other than a way to ensure that society is permanently stratified by socioeconomic class.

It's interesting how entire industries take on a personality. Like, there's plenty of competition or seems to be, and yet pretty much any mattress store you go into feels the same. And if I take my car to a body shop, pretty much any body shop, I almost feel like I need to call the police.

Not very happy about the use of 'criminal' by the original source, but you are sadly missing the point. NONE of the kids in the Pfizer FDA clinical test developed severe covid. Not the vaccinated kids, not the unvaccinated kids. There was ZERO medical reason to vaccinate the control arm of the trial. Given that the two major concerns around covid vaccine are a. effectiveness fading over time and b. lifetime OAS, makes you wonder.

> COVID-19 rates in children ages 5 to 11 are so low that there were ZERO cases of severe COVID-19 and ZERO cases of death from COVID in either the treatment (n= 1,518) or control group (n= 750).
It is very strange to see this downvoted. It is very inexcusable that after removing lead from virtually every other source due to its intense long term damage, we let people who fly thru the air spew it out in not-insignificant concentrations from the sky!! For such a heavy particle, I can’t imagine a more efficient strategy to distribute it widely than exactly that.

It is not good to see the cognitive dissonance needed to downvote someone calling that out just because you like aviation on Hacker News. Maybe on an aviation forum I’d understand but here?
Your example hits the nail on the head, because there are cultures in the world where people would prefer termites to, say, Pop-Tarts if they were more habituated at a young age to eating termites. We are extremely social creatures, and socialization happens starting from infancy.

So the issue is that without more information, we actually can't tell whether our hypothetical desert island survivor has gone off the termites upon returning to (euro-centric) civilization because they actually don't much care for them or because you can't order them at any of the fine dining establishments in town.

I mean, hell, without invoking a desert island... I know people in the United States who swear by the taste of squirrel meat and you generally won't find them eating it at the restaurants in cities.

A lot of the design tradeoffs are not really relevant anymore[0]. There are some ways in which 754 effectively makes a "this is UB, up to the manufacturer" choice (to appease manufacturers of the day) which these days would probably not fly; it's a much easier sell to declare "no ub" (or the equivalent for hw) because we have retrospective power over all the times those were problems, and the hw manufacturers have far LESS power than the application consumer these days.

I ordered two sets of bamboo bedsheets from that Advanced Bedding and they've lasted me all this time without ripping or stretching or anything.

Thanks for posting the article, it's pretty well summarized by:

> ... it is not surprising that many members of the general public presume that noncitizens do not deserve the
same rights as citizens. But the presumption is wrong in many more respects than it is right. While some distinctions between foreign nationals and citizens are normatively justified and consistent with constitutional and international law, most are not.

Non-citizens don't have a fundamental right to vote, or to enter the country. Non-citizens cannot hold federal office. Non-citizens accused of crimes may be held in jail pending their trial in situations where citizens would be free pending trial. But that's a pretty short list. In fact nearly all fundamental freedoms of the Bill of Rights (speech/press/religion/assembly) and rights to a fair trial apply to citizens and non-citizens alike.

> You wouldn’t say that Facebook or Google are building their own Internet

Of course not; buying up competitors is much more practical (why build what you can buy?). So this is presumably the same strategy Facebook plans for any competing companies that make successful use of whatever open systems underlie "the metaverse".
I wonder if it's actually better to buy online. Firstly you get something you've researched, not something the salesman pressured you into buying by claiming it's the mattress they have at home as well. Secondly, most people end up buying too soft beds, because it feels nicer when laying down and testing for a minute or two compared to a firmer mattress. Avoid that online.

Kinda playing the devil’s advocate, but cloud solution aren’t inherently more complex than administrating a traditional linux.

Thinking of securing the OS, configuring a deploy mechanism, managing updates, dealing with lib compatibilities once you have more than 1 app running, etc. That’s a pretty vast and deep set of skills needed.

You assume there is already one of such admin in the company, but going cloud first reduce all of the above to Docker/container knowledge, and understanding cloud configurations, which can go from a heroku setup, a GCE set of instances up to a small GKE cluster. You can introduce as much complexity as you are comfortable with.

They very clearly don’t care about such matter. Or, more accurately, they specifically want to harm people who have committed the great sin of accidentally posting something.

Opinions and practices are very different across different projects in the space. Wikipedia and WP commons, for example, have detailed policies for personal data. Commons is so careful about copyright, it sometimes can’t host a file that lots of commercial publishers freely use, such as (photos of) ads or logos that lack explicit licenses.

Both approaches have their pros and cons. I can’t help but think both projects would be improved by moving a bit into the direction of the other.

Does anyone know of a good collection of literature that attempts to study how management and leadership of hugely successful organizations ends up getting corrupted to the point where the organization collapses?

This seems to be the fate of just about every corporation that's ever existed. They either collapse, or get absorbed by the state.

Then again, the state seems to be just another kind of organization that is subject to the same fate.

They will (probably) recover and be fine and nobody will be too worried that a kid's game has some, limited, downtime from time to time. If this outage causes a drop in share price, it's probably a good time to pick up a bit at a discount.

Trees and plants in the wild are watered by rain. Don't use the stuff out of your tap/faucet. Chlorine is great for killing off bacteria in stagnant water in pipes and so on but not so good for your plants. They don't care about Legionnaires etc that kills us lot off. Your plants want the raw stuff out of the sky so get a water butt and feed it from your house roof.

In the wild, plants are not surrounded by walls, floors and ceilings. They are, however, surrounded by other plants and trees that are trying to out compete them for the basics - water and sunlight.

Indoors the basics are: Water: rainwater only, unless it runs out then tap for a few days at most. Moist but not wet. Light: Some but not direct all day.

Now, some plants prefer more or less eg a Venus fly trap prefers constantly wet roots and direct hard sunshine. A orchid might like 7-14 days of drought and then a good dampening for a day or so (never static water).

It really isn't rocket science. You just have to remember that plants never evolved to live inside houses. Your mate that said "For watering guidance ..." is spot on. Just make it rain water and not tap if you can.

Saying it's twice as fast is rather misleading? They can both hash as fast as RAM speed allows anyway. And if it's something in cache I doubt one is significantly better than the other.
Modern cryptographic hashes (SHA3, Blake2/3) are designed to be indistinguishable from a random oracle. And even MD5/SHA1/SHA2 should not be distinguishable by a statistical test suite.

So if any of them fails a test, it means that either:

1. A statistical test found a flaw crytographers did not yet discover (very unlikely, especially since multiple cryptographic hashes fail)
2. The test suite integrated/implemented the hash function incorrectly. This test suite seems to key the hash functions in an unsupported way, though I'm skeptical that's responsible for the failures.
3. The test suite is flawed and has a significant chance of producing test failures for an ideal hash function.
It's appealing because it seems to lots of people, though not everyone, that we think in words.
