Why is IBM selling post-quantum crypto when it's still a pre-quantum company?

Apps like iMovie, pages, numbers etc are ‘required’ to have people switch to the mac, so you don’t have to pay for thirdparty apps to do basic stuff with all your media. It’s really nice that these apps are also quite powerful to the average user. It ties the whole experience together.
It looks like the author either confused about this argument, or are refuting an argument I've never heard.

They're refuting the argument that each and every letter should be pronounced according to the word it represents. Their take on pronouncing 'JPEG' makes this the most clear; they believe if this argument were true then 'JPEG' would be pronounced 'JEG' due to the silent/'F' sounding 'P' in 'Photographic.'

Honestly, I've never heard someone argue this, and it's a bit ridiculous for all the reasons the author put forward. I've heard this argument for just the first letter ('Graphical' > hard 'G') before which, as you pointed out, fits every example they've given.
I've seen the Toast app clip pop up a few times when paying for dinner with a QR code. Seems like a neat idea and lets me avoid installing a whole app.

Yeah I agree with those points, but it works for me because I just need to see if it's important enough to stop and get the phone out. And reject calls.
Given that your link says the show came out in 2021, and the GitHub repo is at least 3 years old, probably not.
> Bernie Sanders wants millionaires (and billionaires) to pay very high taxes after certain cutoff --all well and good. He's a millionaire, the IRS allows you to overpay or donate to the treasury, but despite his beliefs, he personally does not overpay his taxes.

This is something folks love to bring up as if it's hypocrisy (see also: Warren Buffet, also literally any other prominent rich person who's called for higher taxes), but it can be completely consistent to think that a net benefit can be achieved by a policy or law that causes you (and others) a little harm, but to see voluntarily causing oneself that same harm without the collective action to go along with it, as not doing enough good to be worth the harm.

This behavior could be some kind of indication that a person's view is performative and they're in fact hypocrites who aren't serious about it—or it can indicate that they've actually thought this through and came to a reasonable position, or that they simply took the right class or two in college so they know to look out for these kinds of dynamics (where individual action does so little it's basically pointless self-sacrifice, but collective action with the exact same personal cost can be very effective).
didn't TOPS-20 just require you to type enough of an option/switch to /DISAMBIG it from any other potential conflicts?
Definitely. Especially if the text has too low of contrast in the browser, and highlighting makes it easier on my old eyeballs.

(Or, as xkcd suggests, sometimes as an idle sort of finger-twiddling.)
As someone that enjoys traveling and testing food places, the same applies to food critics.

Most of the time when I fall again into the trap of following their advices about some place, I come out disappointed, usually getting some creative dishes that still leave me wishing to go eat elsewhere.

I have discovered so many nice places just by randomly crashing into them, where one could watch from outside people were enjoying being there, regardless of how many stars the food critic gave it.

> Does that mean every self-hostable piece of software should be classified as "private"?

In my mind, as long as the self-hostable software isn't sending data back to some central server, yes? I guess we have different definitions, which is fine, this wasn't criticism of your list. I was just curious if you knew something I didn't.

> This is the key point that is never mentioned. The software is mentioned but nothing about who is running it.

It's interesting to have list of tools that can be self-hosted. My friends and I host mumble/irc/pastebin/img upload for our use. We've got it in a wireguard vpn, it works well. Finding out about other services that we can self-host and use is a always interesting. Although I can't really think of something we need at the moment.
Atlassian Cloud Outage Update
I think this is the impedance mismatch between the intellectual and the practical all over again.

More and more, when I find myself at odds with people it’s because one of us is trying to intellectualize a situation that cannot be safely intellectualized. Not that we have changed, but that my perspective has changed.

In disciplines with more physicality, “exercises” are used quite often and routinely denoted as being an artifice. Not all instructors do and not all students listen, and so YouTube is full of videos of martial artists getting their clocks cleaned for mistaking forms for sparring, sparring for fighting. Consultants recording/cleaning up construction or landscaping disasters created by ignoring the rules - or failing to think outside of the box. You could spend the rest of your life watching these kinds of videos and not see half of them.

I don’t want to do TDD all day every day. It’s infantilizing. But I’m a better developer for having done it, and when I feel the consequences starting to add up, I will do it again for a time, to knock the cobwebs off. You probably feel the same about DDD.
Me too.

I'm using Lightroom CC, because I'd migrated away from Lightroom Classic several years before.

I can't begin to understand why things like "open selected images as layers in Photoshop" _still_ isn't possible in Lightroom CC. It works really well on my iPad Pro, though, and gives me 90%+ of the features I need for my workflow there. I just wish they provided an accessible scripting environment that I could use to automate things.
When the pretty people arrived to join the bandwagon. You know, all those who previously worked in investment banking and other sectors that had little to do with tech.
Apple will probably add more and more features to iMovie than porting over Final Cut Pro.
I think the problem with the news is that it focuses only on the problems; They should do some research so they can focus on presenting the solutions. I think I would subscribe to a channel that tells me how to improve the world's problems.
Another potential upside of a brain to computer interface (Neuralink), the ability to store every memory you have ever had (while the device was installed) in full resolution.

Assuming of course you maintain a server rack at home with copious amounts of hard drives.
They reached domination by network effects. Without any real current competition they are a de facto monopoly in their space. Monopolies have zero incentive to improve things for their customers much beyond the original value proposition that keeps you coming back.

> Should they avoid publishing true headlines? Maybe. They should at least make sure the headlines are truthful.

I totally agree about the "making sure the headlines are truthful" part.

Not sure how I feel about not publishing truthful things because it might escalate the war. Should the press not publish anything about the war in Ukraine, because it might lead to nuclear war? I guess that's a defensible view in some sense, but I sure don't want to live in a world in which that happens.
Tim Cook argues “antitrust laws against big tech are bad for privacy”
Besides the student loan payment delay, pushing for higher wages, and unionizing, which I already cited I’ll leave a few big ones.

Starting with the first calamity. Biden’s American Rescue Plan. $1.9 trillion dollars completely unneeded, only done for political reasons. In the name of Covid, pushed through absurd welfare programs. It’s like cashing in $5 chips at the casino for $100 loses down the line.

Enacting regulation to limit US production of oil and stopping the keystone pipeline. Under Trump the united states was energy independent and also for the first time in 75 years a net exporter or oil.

Thank god Biden’s build back better plan is being held
up. Another outrageous case of spending that will throw gasoline onto the raging fire. Perhaps would be the last nail in the coffin.
Well HN is part of the problem isnt it?
This platform may be one of few that allows difference of opinions in the threads but it it still very much just a subset of reddit users.
With the same tendency to agree with anything progressive and attack all other points of view.

Post covid era societal destruction, aka actually starting to face the devastating consequences of the extreme C19 responses, has softened a whole lot of progressives around me at least.
And its easy to tell from the dominishing support of extremeist progressive commentary in HN for the past 6 months or so.

That being said I adore HN. Fun random articles.

Comments sections seem to leak into reddit territory but maybe that will resolve itself.

HN is not ad much fun for those seeking outrage as reddit.

I liked the article. He is progressive but at least he had the guts to timidly criticize his own tribe for the current state of the political divise.

Good step in the right direction.
McDonalds is much cheaper than a fancy restaurant, so it should come as no surprise that it has worse quality. But with movies, people are chosing the lower rated movies even though it doesn't save money.
> Assuming a lab leak they may well be aware of these effects already from previous research and therefore enforce zero-covid to avoid it because it's riskier than we currently understand.

You're reading way too much science fiction or something.

We're two years into this virus with the combined effort of the entire world's scientists trying to determine why it causes loss of smell and we barely have an explanation so far. The Chinese did not unravel the mysteries of SARS-CoV-2 anosmia before the pandemic ever started.

Once again in a conspiracy theory the conspirators are both completely incompetent (the lab leak) and nearly omniscient (the ability to engineer SARS-CoV-2 from scratch and determine all its properties and keep all the research perfectly secret). Schroedinger's BLS4 facility.
I think it's probably from Facebook's culture of pretending it's a force for good when it's a mixed bag like every other Megacorp. Here's an example of what Zuck has said:

I'm going to use an extreme & contrived example here.

How would you feel about a company that pays $200 an hour, but 90% of each new batch of hires are fired by that company within a week? And the 10% who don't get fired have to physically exert themselves through things like holding it in when they need to use a restroom, and operating with less sleep than is necessary. By the end of the first month, that 10% is reduced to 1%.
Yup, I know someone who had COVID and it completely broke/made their sense of smell of certain foods disappear, and later it was "repaired" right away after taking a single dose of LSD. That person had no idea of this, and found other anecdotes posted online, so it wasn't a placebo. The way how I imagined this worked is that COVID weakened/malformed some neural connections responsible for remembering these smells but LSD fired these temporarily. So I recommended to that person to regularly pay attention to these smells so the connection doesn't fade over time. Few months later it was still in full effect - I know it's highly anecdotal and not very scientific reasoning but still it was a nice unexpected side effect
Nah, it's older than 2021.
Trump never pulled out of Afghanistan, just talked about doing it and "made plans" that he handed to his successor to execute.

Just like Obama, really.

Biden actually did it, and paid the political price. There was never going to be any way to withdraw without horrific consequences. Which is why neither Obama or Trump actually did it.
Maybe Youtubers, as soon as you want to do something barely elaborate. Sometimes free tools don’t benefit the user, but their audience ;)
I'm implying that natural-language definitions are physical objects, in your brain, made up of brain stuff, and that you can't write them down in ways that are much briefer than a full description of their physical manifestation, although you can roughly approximate them in something like a dictionary.
Hackers all around the globe are constantly illegally breaking into social media accounts every single day. In movies the hacker is portrayed as a character under a lot of pressure, guessing passwords seemingly at random and then miraculously getting it right the third or fourth time. They are usually targeting someone specific, a prominent figure or the protagonist of the film.

However that couldn’t be further from how hackers actually hack into accounts.

How do hackers hack into accounts?

The most common way for a hacker to hack into an account is by using special tools and software that help automate the process of breaking into the account and finding the right credentials that will work.

Hackers can use a technique called Password Spraying where they use a collection of commonly used passwords such as “12345” or “password123”. A hacker could deploy hundreds of bots to automate this process, once a bot finds a match with the account the hacker will be given the correct password and then try taking over the account. This hacking technique only works if the hacker already knows the username or email address.

Another way (and the most common way) that hackers hack into accounts is by performing something called Credential Stuffing. Hackers firstly target a website that has any form of an account system that is hosted on the same server as the website. The hacker will break into the database that contains all of the user credentials, or they will buy a list of credentials from an online black market. These online black markets are usually on the dark web to evade law enforcement. Next, the hacker will use bots to flood a login page on a different website with these credentials that are stolen from the original website. After hundreds of tries, eventually a bot will log into an account, this process will repeat until all the credentials are checked. A program will then compile all of the successful break-in attempts and return them to the hacker.

How do I prevent Password Spraying and Credential Stuffing?

The best way to prevent hackers from hacking into your account is by using different passwords, or utilizing a password manager.

A Password Manager allows you to safely login to all of your accounts without the worry of a hacker breaking in to it. Password Managers create unique passwords for each service which prevents attacks such as Credential Stuffing and Password Spraying.

Secondly you could add multi factor authentication if the service supports it. Discord use Google Authentication as another layer of protection to your account. You will need to check with your website if it has multi factor authentication support.

With this in mind, a hacker will be much less likely to hack into your accounts. Hackers usually give up if you’re not an easy target, so these steps will protect you from these hackers.
Nope.

I have usually picked up the upgrade and other sucky work for the teams I've been on. It's a thankless job and they rate you low for not delivering business value. Same with the security work I do. You end up as a generalist, and most places only value specialists.
Shut down your device, don't leave it on at all times. I don't know if there's a way to suspend and encrypt RAM though. But other than that, there's no way to keep a computer running without the miscellaneous data being kept in RAM
It's meant to be as garish as possible. It's the modern day equivalent of a branding iron. You got pwned!
> A majority of people who stub their toe and blame racism, patriarchy or whatever else, are incredibly boring people.

This is spot-on. These folks are essentially 21st century Puritans with all the joylessness and righteous moral outrage that comes with that. And yes, like the Puritans, they are just not very interesting people.
it solves scale issues that git can't solve at the moment.
fb monorepos are huge.
so for most people/companies this issue is not critical to solve and git is great.
> Don't draw attention to yourself

That's what I've been doing up to this point. Unfortunately I am naturally starting to build a name for myself as I become the only person with much knowledge on the projects I work on. Trying to start a company would obviously mean ramping that up even more.
The more I think about it, the more I think a good way to find under-financed early stage startups is to try working out of a few co-working spaces. This will allow you to really get "on the ground" and see who is working on what, and why. I spent my 20s more or less working in co-working spaces, and they are good places to check out, especially if you wanted to a) spot new opportunities, b) try to 'moneyball' the local scene, c) identify unvarnished / unpolished potential, and d) get a feeling for what is going on at the 'bleeding edge' of startups.

Some notes, based purely on my own experience (YMMV):

* There is a large amount of variance, and basically people with ideas that won't work or decision-making / management practices that won't fly haven't yet been weeded out of the market. So it might be worth thinking that you'd be happy if you had a hit rate of less than 1 out of 10 or 1 out of 15-20.

* I wouldn't tell anyone that you are looking to invest when you initially meet them, because you'll immediately cause an incentive problem. Instead, by working on a side project, or something, you could get to know other founders as a secret shopper / peer.

* The reason the early stage startups haven't received major funding yet is due to several factors. I believe the most compelling one is that the founders aren't good at making themselves seem "investor friendly." (Assuming the concept and execution show promise, there is positive signal, etc.) On a more general note, if you are going to "assess the person" over other factors, working along side them might be a good way to assess them.

What I'm saying is that being proactive might be a great way to find what you are looking for; which from what you write... by the time you "hear" about them it will be "too late."
I'm looking to take a pre-recorded video file and stream it to a WebRTC client. I use an SFU, but I don't think that's the important part. The main issue is transcoding the video in a format that the browser supports and in a way that can respond to RTCP feedback signals. For instance, you can generate an RTP SDP file to use as the output for an FFmpeg CLI command, but the FFmpeg CLI has no support for RTCP. You had mentioned that pion was used to stream pre-recorded media over WebRTC, so I was hoping you had an example of doing so that properly handled RTCP.
Yeah, absolutely, I liked several of the photos quite a bit. They didn't really say "church" to me, mostly—maybe a really cool library?—but part of it's just that most "nice" churches are really pretty, so the competition's stiff. Given some of the reactions in posts, I actually expected it to be a lot worse than it was.
It happens everywhere. In Romania the media quickly spinned the story of inflation to the war in Ukraine.

Even when our current national bank director stated in early January that'll we'll reach double digit measured[1] inflation by summer.

[1] felt the need to emphasis measured because they changed the way inflation is measured last November, to probably show politically better numbers going forward.
Pretty sure it's called yoga because it is a flexible layout engine. A joke.
Historically the mean rate on a 30 year mortgage is right around 7%. We've been under that for a good 20 years now and we've been way under that for a good dozen years now.

> they’ve been going down continuously for like 40 years.

Cycles. They go down... they go up.

I don't disagree about zoning playing a part, but again, this is something the US President has little control over. Yes, he should probably be using the bully pulpit to support building more affordable housing, but it's not something that's going to result in a quick reduction of inflation.

> Japan housing CPI being dead flat with similar interest rate policies

Japan has an aging, declining population with essentially no immigration. Of course their housing prices have been essentially flat, they're experiencing a decline in household formation.

> you probably don't understand what it's like to live with constant brain fog, and to spend extra time understanding abstract concepts that used to be easy. It adds up and wastes your free time.

I have CFS, and the brain fog really is absolutely awful.

Just around 5 years ago, I was at the top of my game, and could accomplish in one day at work what would take a team of colleagues a week to do.

Now... gods, everything just seems to take me forever! I'll think "that'll take me an hour", and I'm still working on it days later. I keep catching myself staring at the screen like I'm in a trance, and yak shaving to avoid more complex tasks. I frequently forget what I was even doing.

It's hard to describe, but it's like my thought process has slowed to a crawl - my "inner monologue" remains normal, but everything else is just slow as hell. It's really difficult to focus on tasks. 5 years on, and I still overestimate my abilities; it just feels so alien still.

It's pretty much ruined my life, so yeah, don't underestimate brain fog.
The 'ax' versus 'ask' question (2014)
I wouldn't base any statistics on IMDB ratings, they're garbage.
Just look at how many awful amateurish experiments there receive spectacular 10 star reviews within days of their release, very likely by cast and crew friends/relatives (or worse), then are buried by 1 star reviews when actual viewers eventually watch them.
It's either Marxism or thinly veiled ethnic nationalism-- or a combination of the two, which gets real scary if you think about what happened in places like Cambodia. Where intellectuals were viewed by the regime as oppressors and colonizers.
