This article can be summed up as "Probably Ed25519 is better, on the assumption you're using a good library, but it's ok to use a strong P-256 library if you plan FIPS compliance in the future." With the related (personal) addendum that NIST needs to get its ass in gear and certify Ed25519.

Unfortunately I think it's a little low-level for most implementers, who just want to know which library to use and are scared of things like cofactors and prime-order groups.

Also: it's 2022 and has an ECC side-channel attack ever been used in the wild?

Nope. To see something in daylight it needs to be big. That big white pole is visible for miles and identifies the location in exactly the same way as the light does at night. Towers guided ships long before anyone started putting lights on them.

The thing is, the lowest common denominator folks have to support, Safari, is what forces the entire web to follow web standards. As soon as developers can demand users switch to Chromium on iOS, you'll see a massive uptick in websites which only work in Chrome.

Effectively, in this case allowing competition will permanently destroy the open web.
I am interested in the business models behind the games. I did have a look some time ago, but couldn't really find anything.

I played something similar at uni, and have been interested since then.
Oh wow, author here, glad there's some interest in this! Didn't mean for people to find out about it yet. I'll have an end to end demo out in the next week or two!
Sometimes I'm really surprised that people have such a hard time extrapolating from their own experiences learning to children and school.

Individuals will tend to learn things at their own pace. Individuals will tend to learn different things at different paces.

Example: I despised history in school. The only subject I ever scored less than a B in during a quarter. I discovered it was mostly just down to how it was being taught, as a series of factual but mostly disjointed events. I found that I enjoy learning about history, as long as I'm understanding the complex causation and linking between those different events.

Example: I've hired people that had zero experience in one of our programming languages. They typically end up completing their first PR in that language within a month or two -- with assistance, of course. People tend to pick things up pretty fast when it's part of their job expectations. (I always make it clear during interviewing and the hiring process that such an expectation would be present.)

Example: My son didn't begin to talk until after his third birthday. Now he is almost entirely caught up, with only minor speech issues.
>Crypto allows for decentralized money that one can self-custody and send/receive without going through any centralized government/bank authority or middleman. If you can't even admit this most basic use case of crypto, then either (1) you know nothing about the thing you are criticizing (2) you have an agenda.

I can already do that. The question isn't "whether or not there are use cases for cryptocurrency", but rather "what are the use cases for 'Web3'" which you haven't addressed at all.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't hate cryptocurrencies. I just don't have a whole lot of use for them and, at based on the "use cases" of Web3 in this discussion, even less use for such "applications."

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, what is a useful application for "Web3"?

I'm not being snarky, I'm just not aware of what, if any, value, "Web3" could provide. Perhaps you could enlighten me?
Use this on my home network to expose a couple services to the internet through a domain that I bought, works great.

You do end up having to add "custom configuration" which means putting nginx configuration into a textarea without any validation. So far it's just been the occasional service that uses websockets, you need to configure nginx to handle the upgrade.

Let's encrypt integration works well enough. It says it persists your Cloudflare api key for DNS validation for cert generation, but it just doesn't or I missed a volume to mount that wasn't called out through the Unraid template for NPM.

Yeah sure you could just do this all yourself you smart person you, but on my home server I just... don't want to. I want a collection of dumb GUIs that get me where I want to be, and this did that for my reverse proxy need. If it stops doing that I'll find something else, but that hasn't happened yet.

Concurrent =/= parallel. CPU thread safety is mostly manifested [or let's say much more challenging] in context of concurrent, not parallel, algorithms. I'm not aware of anyone doing concurrent programming on the GPU (because it is a poor fit).

I don't think scale is really the problem here. If so it is the scale of health care costs primarily. Since those tend to explode easily, workers are expected to document every little step they take. And if a nurse spends 10 minutes to console somebody, she is in need to justify that time towards her superiors, who in turn need to justify the cost of health care to insurers, who in turn need to justify their expenses to patients or government. It is a self-reinforcing circle of hell and fully behaves that way because wrong decisions are taken at multiple steps. It isn't even that complicated, just short sighted incentives that fail to get a system under control.

The case for Google is another one. The incentives of the company slowly changed as it moved onto the path many corporations took before. It isn't a necessity, but the drive to growth put them there where they are today. They wanted money, the problems of software logistics were already solved when they were a smaller company. In fact only when they were successful more and more people wanted an in on the profit.

Of course problems are often more complicated in detail, but I don't think too many people looking at the larger picture are really the problem.

That is just a rant, I don't think there is any evidence of that happening anywhere.

Pumped storage combined with solar and wind isnt orders of magnitude more than nuclear power. It's still cheaper. Fengning is less than half the cost of a nuclear plant and delivers twice as much power. It's a very effective battery.

Pumped (or indeed, any kind of) storage just isnt very economic when youve got oodles of cheap, dispatchable gas.

Nuclear power almost always exists to help prop up military nuclear requirements. This is as true in Finland (whose plants were built by Russia) as it is anywhere else.

It's possible there could be bias. Do you have a source that states otherwise? Do you have any resaon/explaination to suspect the numbers in the pertianate table to be biased?

'"Most states" qualifier supports the claim that funding varies widely from state to state and town to town.'

Of course funding will vary to some degree - as does cost of living. This is especially true depending on the state, but it is not based on local wealth (as the original claim states). The point is that the troupe that districts collecting less property tax are providing poor education because of it are mostly false. The funding levels are mostly adjusted to be similar to other districts based on the needs-based funding of higher levels of government. Are there some states that underfunded the entire system? Probably. The example of Pennsylvania shows that it is one of the highest funded states, with some of the highest paid teachers, has relatively evenly distributed funds, and it still has districts that underperformed. This isn't a funding issue, and continuing to look at it like one is doing a disservice to those students.

There are other factors that drive success more than property tax funding. Things like two parent households, and societal/parental expectations.
This is dope. Is there a way to enable caching easily?
This is not that outlandish of a story to me. In economic downturns new college hires are usually the first ones let go. I have seen whole cohorts of a hiring class be let go or offers rescinded. As a leadership team if you believe the market is slowing down you often times get to make the hard decision to slow or reduce headcount.
In Bodmer's "The Loom of Language", a fabulously arch smorgasbord of linguistic delicacies, his withering analysis of Volapuk concludes that what really did for the language was the decision to use it exclusively in what turned out to be its last international conference. This brought all its flaws and difficulties into sharp relief, whence the schisms began.

Bodmer is not much kinder towards Esperanto, deeming it inferior to Peano's Latine Sine Flexione ("Latin without inflections"), for which he claims "an educated person can read it quite easily", a statement that reveals as much as any other that he was writing in the '40s. The book is full of little bon mots like this, I'm gutted that I've lost my copy.
One of the biggest issues which makes it hard for the public to judge how well nuclear does, is the association of nuclear power with nuclear weapons which are totally shrouded in secrecy.

Nuclear power and nuclear weapons were developed together, often with nuclear power plants providing fuel for the weapons. All of this data, including disposal and environmental issues are completely classified.
That’s ridiculous. This sort of all-or-nothing style thinking is remarkably common about things like this. And makes no sense. Like, take Subway, it is supposed to be a healthier option, they picked a mascot based on this and have in-store badging from the American Heart Assoication.

They also sell soda, apparently they’re complete hypocrites then, engulfed in a huge lie!

Australia exports millions of tons of thermal coal annually, we have vast gas fields of WA. These are profitable because a international market exist. The market exist because of a lack of affordable alternatives. So no, with enough baseload tech Australia will be probably be OK without nuclear. Solar to H2/Ammonia for example.
Thanks for the clarification. The example, however, doesn’t fit reality particularly well given how few implementations actually agree on all possible forms of v4 and v6 addresses.
I know your line of reasoning is not popular, but I would like to add some nuance.

The empirical reality of this situation is that societies directed towards the maximization of individual desires (or "rights") will tend to be in conflict with creation and sustenance of communal societies. As such, we're seeing the breakdown of relationships, marriages, communities and even nations via social atomization. This is the result of liberal philosophy followed to its logical conclusion. The individual reigns supreme, and thus the community suffers.

Traditional societies throughout history had strategies for building families and maintaining communities, but the liberal West deems these anachronistic. We want to have our cake and eat it too, and we're learning this is simply not possible.
> Related to welfare, 60% of people pay ZERO or NEGATIVE income taxes

57% of people paid no federal income tax last year, not 60%. Also, this percentage is much higher than the pre-Covid period, so this percentage means nothing outside that context.
What exactly isn't "straight" about my position on crypto? The only thing I'm saying is that for such a vast and complicated space, both the absolutes (100% bad, 100% good) are suspicious, intellectually lazy and likely made by commenters with near-zero knowledge or experience.

A character like Diehl is a "crypto is 100% bad" guy. Or more like 500% bad. It's a personal crusade. A crypto-bro shitcoin promoter is a "crypto is 100% good" guy.

I reject both positions and characters.

I regret to inform you that I own zero web3 tokens, nor do I have any other stake in any web3 project whatsoever.

I'm not here to promote or defend crypto specifically. I'm here to defend (in vain) nuanced discussion and seeking truth. We could be having this same discussion about "JavaScript sucks" or "Elon Musk sucks" and I would do the same thing: reject simplistic absolutes by people who don't even know anything about said topic.
I genuinely can't tell if this is sarcasm or real.

Ask HN: Underground Vacation Destinations?
During 2007-8 I spent most of my sophomore year at Rutgers University in what students called "the catacombs" on Livingston campus: a large network of underground tunnels connecting the dormitories to one another and featuring underground study rooms, recreation rooms, etc.

Ever since then I've found myself drawn to structures like this. Does anyone know of a vacation destination like this?

I know this sounds crazy, but I'm not really looking for caves or natural underground structures.
That specific scenario is almost entirely covered by temporary work visas.

Unskilled immigrants are also cutting wages in restaurants, factories, construction, and all manner of other industries, all over the country. And this has been going on for generations. It's modern day slavery. These people are held in this psuedo-citizenship limbo and are often abused by their employers. If you are wondering why there haven't been any real labor movements in the past 30 years, this is why.

Voter replacement is not the only reason for unfettered immigration, importing a large amount of under-educated people also replaces the middle class by driving the value of unskilled labor down. And that's why an unsecured border has bipartisan support by the politicians profiting.

NAT doesn't but TURN does, it is a remote server that relays your WebRTC traffic. If someone is video-chatting with you, they will see packets from the TURN server, and if they DOS it, your overall internet connection will be unaffected.
Which creates the bizarre artifact that the US government spends around the same or more on healthcare than the governments of countries with socialized healthcare systems.
* environmental impact can (and is being) addressed technically. Bitcoin doesn't even have (Turing-complete) smart contracts and web3 can exist without it (or PoW in general)

* lack of regulation isn't the tech's fault, and is also being addressed

* consolidation of authority: agreed, that is critical. But it's not worse than the current web. A handful of players can decide to effectively take down any project, and that also happens. Web3 does not fix it to the extent people claim / hope because of this concentration, but it's not worse

* impact of NFTs - What do you mean? Most NFTs are just hyperlinks that provide very little in the sense of uniqueness of whatever resource they're pointing to, I agree. But NFTs can be implemented differently, and anyway, the existence of problematic use cases doesn't negate other use cases.
What guarantee does DuckDuckGo make that should make me believe they’re going to be better than Google and Bing?

I think I understand where they are coming from but let's not pretend that dads in prison doesn't also have a massive effect on the development of their children (or not!).

In some ways the only people who should be in prison are the most violent and who are a danger to the public but we don't have a great range of alternatives for someone who e.g. steals a large amount of money but is not dangerous to the public per-se.
I think there's a lot of social pressure also contributed by other intellectuals to "stay informed", and pressure within political parties to make sure that people are also reading the news with the right interpretations. Just to say, I think the anxiety-ridden mess mentioned previously has some reinforcement behind it.
Many of these points generalize to "Intellectual Property" in general. Possibly there's a split to be made between "data" and algorithm" but then all algorithm becomes data as soon as its encoded, so maybe there isn't a difference.
For sure. From Software games are the antithesis of this rule and they work great. I love how you have to wait until the exact right time to dodge or block, otherwise the character will adjust their attack, just like in real life. The wind up animation turns the combat into a dance.

Millenials are hitting their 40s. Is that really still the early phases of their growing wealth?
They will not catch up. It will be a feature of this generation. You can't just remove a year of education and expect things to normalize without intervention. You see similar effects throughout history in education, workforces, etc due to life-disrupting events like war.

"Fine" is relative. Individuals will continue on as always... and many won't notice any change... but this will likely be an ongoing measurable difference when society is more cumulatively studied.
If they did, Putin would cheer. It takes 20 years to build a nuclear plant, so the likely result world be that Germany would be "temporarily" dependent on Russian gas for another 20 years.
What happens next is interesting too.

It takes many forms afterwards. I think many here/on this topic view this as a happily ever after scenario where then there is a family tree full of successful people doing interesting things at low personal risks.

My grandpa was a Gen 4 in your lineup. He was essentially a trust fund kid that never worked and just squandered the significant savings and assets of his depression era parents. My dad got some rather minor assets. Or so I heard growing up. In reality he got a free house, the one I grew up in, and several debt free rental units/cash flow. Not luxury apartments but growing college town type market. He was essentially a minor league trust fund kid who was bitter about having to work to afford everything he wanted (something he never saw his dad do). He kept a mediocre job and never strived for much. He was more interested in exotic cars, fashion, women, etc. He ultimately blew through all his inheritance in by my young adult years. I got nothing but a stable home environment growing up. Paid for my own college, cars, and everything else. I know many others in similar situations where gen 4-6 seems to be highly correlated to addiction, crime, etc. and just never strive for more.

I feel like I’m just starting over with no real advantage. Similar to maybe what gen 2 had.

>Maybe that's because crypto isn't an MLM like those, but provide real value, perhaps.

That's as may be. But at least in this disucssion, no one has provided even one example of "real value" provided by Web3 "applications." What might something that does so look like?

Note that I am specifically referring to Web3 and not blockchains or cryptocurrencies.
You are incredibly naive and trusting.
It can get more extremes than memes. Some government agencies have policies specifically avoiding the metric system in public announcements. Issue a statement about a 30 centimeter wave event and a good percentage of people in coastal areas might panic. Trial attorneys also coach witnesses to never speak in metric as at least one person on every jury won't be able to follow ... and two more will hate you for forcing them to remember words they last heard in highschool.

how is this different from forking the engine? I'm not super familiar with Ghost's internals, but wouldn't this basically count as a fork anyway? Seems like you either have the option to change the internal engine code, or you don't. I think it makes sense that there aren't a lot of "in-between" options, because that's just asking for unannounced breakage when your "auto-update" system decides to overwrite whatever files you've already messed with, or change the files that are downstream from that one (breaking compatibility)
