> I don't like NIST for another, better reason: I think the whole enterprise of picking cryptography standards in advance is bankrupt, and holds the industry back. So I'm not a NIST fan either. But I don't see what's to be gained by derailing conversations about new cryptography so we can relitigate the same points over and over again.

Sorry if you think I'm trying to convince people of anything. I'm simply asking for alternatives to NIST itself, for my own personal and selfish reasons. I'm not arguing against other people trusting NIST, their competitions or anything like that. Just asking a question regarding alternatives.

I'm glad you and others answered. Someone even gave a proper alternative based in Germany, and for that I'm very happy. I'm sorry you feel like people are "relitigating the same points over and over again", I cannot steer the conversation any more than you can and I personally haven't seen any conversations on HN about alternatives to NIST, then obviously I wouldn't ask for it, if I already knew the answer.
Disagree, companies cannot focus on too many things at once and get them right. Better for them to focus on logistics, fleet, cargo, etc than investing in data centers. Staying in your area of competence usually yields the best results. Btw, as I was using FedEx for an international shipment, their IT services are abysmal and could use a shake-up.
In fairness, I suspect your average node_modules folder has a lot more files than your average git repo (maybe even an order of magnitude more)
That doesn't remove a channel from search unfortunately.
Thanks for taking the time to write this up. But, woof, it's a bit more than ELI5. :) The python code makes it a little more clear since I'm not familiar with some of the notation. However, it does seem kind of magic that 'e' is derived during the encryption and then sort of vanishes. I also don't quite get the bounded vs uniform vector sampling calls (one for s and the other for chi). But this at least greases the wheels so to speak, so thanks!
> I personally like knowing that Facebook can't ask people to sideload some privacy destroying crap on iOS).

No company like Facebook requires app side loading on Android. The side-loading is used for other apps that one way or another couldn't be on Play Store. For example other stores (F-Droid is the most popular with open source applications) or other apps that one way or another are not allowed in the store.

Another example is GPSLogger[1], Play Store makes it very difficult to support older versions or Android. Author got frustrated and just moved to alternative store.

Limits are taught in a way that gives the learner a taste of higher math, but when I took university calculus at 18 I wasn't really enthused about the "beauty". 15 years later I finally get it and am working my way into some coursework that will require upward of real analysis, but I wonder what changed in my brain to care all of a sudden? How can I have been inspired earlier in my life/career?

Paid Oncall Rates
See South Dakota v. Dole, which holds (among other things) that federal funding cannot be granted contingently on a requirement that would otherwise violate the constitution or be "coercive". This would almost certainly apply to the states via incorporation. So while a state could choose to not fund universities at all, if it chooses to, it cannot favor certain universities based on a speech-test.
Bernstein seems to be involved in never ending drama. Maybe the problem is him?
A good friend described similar issues. From "them" following him when driving, people hiding in walls, being the target of network snooping and key logging. Schizophrenia/Paranoia. Ended in a hospital telling doctors somebody was trying to kill him at night (there were cameras, nobody was there of course). He eventually got help and medication. You might not think or expect this answer: but get professional psycological help.

If app developers now will have access to the Secure Enclave, I sincerely hope Apple ships this as an EU-specific version of the hardware. I actually do like having hardware that can be (more) trusted, at least in some cases.

I’ve lived in a few countries now, including the US. Define “major.” If you are only considering countries as vast as the US in landmass then only Australia, Russia, Canada, Brazil, and China can really be contenders. From 2nd/3rd hand accounts, I don’t think they pass all your qualifications. If we consider “major” as in having a hand in the formation of the US, such as England, France, Netherlands, Spain, etc. then I think you’d find a majority of those countries pass at least two of those qualifiers.
Yes, and if I wasn't working my career, I could probably homeschool.

When my wife and I had kids, she wanted to quit her job as a nurse and be a stay-at-home mom. We agreed this was a good solution, even though she's not cut out to homeschool them.
Awesome. The homepage explains it very well which is impressive.

Personally I'm a big fan of Julia's syntax here. Indentation-insensitive with the use of the word "end" as the terminator for all types of block. In practice you can lay it out like Python, and the "end"s help you keep track when e.g. you need to place a single expression after some deeply-nested blocks.

I basically agree with everything dragonwriter said, but I'd like to add.

> How are you going to keep your country together with the way things are currently going?

I can't dismiss the possibility that this may come to another civil war, but it would be catastrophic. It's not just that war is bad. The world's largest superpower and nuclear power going to war with itself will end poorly for the entire world. If a civil war between somewhat equal forces breaks out, the sides will not restrain themselves. It's imperative that another civil war is prevented if at all possible.

Luckily, I don't think it's inevitable. As divided as we are, all sides still see themselves first and foremost as Americans. Even those who fly Confederate flags virtue signal all the time about how proud they are to be American. This is not Scotland or Catalonia, where there's a distinct national identity. Even those whose identities are wrapped up in the states in which they live still consider themselves foremost American.

And that's why, even though some may call to secede from Republican states, I don't think it will go anywhere. We have family and friends in those states. We don't want to abandon them to state governments that will treat them as inferior citizens based on race, sex, etc. It would be like Germany volunteering to be split into east and west following WWII.
Yes, making up your own mind with first-hand experience requires investing time and effort, that's why people like to have other people tell them what to think.

Now we've come full circle.

I think that excerpt from the article answers my question.
You could be using the excess power to actually sequester the carbon you extracted, and help fend off looming climate catastrophe.

But selling it let you pocket a few bucks, so the choice was obvious.

They should tax half the carbon you extract as if it were mined, unless you sequester it instead.
> Let’s start with the easiest one: what is the trend of the GDPR decisions per month/year? The response is easy: upwards, particularly since the beginning of 2020

I don’t think that’s a convincing argument. That ‘trend’ also could be caused by a lead time of about a year on fines being doled out (issues must be reported, investigations done, the accused must be given time to respond to the initial report, etc)

Also: “one fine a day” sounds like a lot, but that’s about one a month per country in the EU.

This type of information is used all of the time to discover and compromise web accounts of the victims in bulk. There are scripts that take in this data as input and will do a lot of the work for you to take over their accounts (or at least find their active accounts across web).

Anyone serious about running HASS, or home automation in general should move away from a Pi because it's not cut out for running a home, the SDs are fragile and need decent, clean power and the performance isn't stellar when you've got a lot going on.

It's a nice, cheap starting point, but something like a NUC or similar is the next step for a reliable machine to run it on and won't suck up electricity.
Im familiar, i think it works largely by being loose and giving. Arrows are fast, they have a lot of kinetic energy but relatively little momentum. You can decelerate them pretty effectively.
> The SMOM apparently has only 3 legal citizens

The SMOM is not a country and does not have citizens. It issues diplomatic passports (several hundred) to certain leaders and diplomats, and service passports (only a very few, currently) to people involved in certain non-diplomatic missions, but all of these people are citizens of actual countries and also have (or should have) passports of those countries.

It is also not particularly independent despite notional sovereignty, being an entity within the Catholic Church subject to Papal authority.

Exactly! I am not a climate physicist so please someone correct me if I am wrong. But my understanding is the ozone breaks down when it absorbs up light so we should expect it to be thinner in the equatorial regions where there is the most uv right? So the question should not be why the equatorial region is lower then other parts but whether the percentage has gone up or down in that region in recent years.

What about strategies designed to set the stage for that, but do not define it as a direct goal?
> <50% want to do the necessary ground-work of "cutting Wyoming down to 0.2 senators".

No, that's not the case. I'd dare say >50% of the population wants to cut Wyoming down to 0.2 senators. But how do they accomplish that? The only viable route is a constitutional amendment. For that to pass, you need 2/3s of the senate to agree AND you need 3/4s of the states to ratify.

By saying "oh, well the majority can just insist on the change" ignores the fact that the current system gives the minority power to say no.

The only hard work the majority could actually do is move from these high population states into low population states to re-balance the voting power.

The US is not a democracy. 50% of the population wanting something means nothing. And without an actual civil war and new constitution, that won't change.
> those places did not emerge with a significantly better COVID outcome.

COVID statistics are hard to interpret clearly. But, looking at the list of deaths/100K, it is clear that states that did take COVID seriously mostly had fewer deaths. Depending on how you slice the numbers I'd call 30% fewer deaths a significantly better outcome.

Deaths/100K
California: 234
Texas: 307
Florida: 353
New York: 355

My guess is that mass unemployment, homelessness, and increasing substance abuse were not higher where COVID was taken seriously, but proving that would take too much of my time.

The Clathrate Gun could be the cliff, though I think he was just using a weak metaphor. There could be enough trapped methane in the Arctic to trigger a major warming event if we break a certain warming threshold. This also may have happened before eons ago.

There's just a lot of randomness in what gets attention/traction off /newest. That's why HN doesn't try to prevent reposts of stories that haven't had significant attention yet.

It sucks when you're earlier and don't 'win', but it evens out in the long run if you post lots of good stories, since sometimes the lottery works in your favor. One of these years we'll get around to implementing karma-sharing to spread credit across multiple submitters.
No, but you can write an UPDATE which uses a SELECT in all of SET, FROM, and WHERE, which broadly speaking will do the same thing.

The difficulty in figuring out all this syntactic weirdness is probably overstated for small queries, but it's there. Most attempts to write a better SQL I've seen succeed in narrow terms, but if the goal is to replace SQL rather than write a better syntax which (almost) no one uses, that's not enough.
Is it as easy for a developer to release PS5 software as it is to release iOS software?
An example of something considered to be "slow" is the muon. You could kind of thinking of it as a heavy electron (though that hand waves away a lot). It has a mean lifetime of 2.2 μs - which is fairly slow.

Also note that they're not rare and there's a fair bit of neat science behind that too.

> About 10,000 muons reach every square meter of the earth's surface a minute

(from https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/muons-for-peace/ ).

There's also neat stuff with time dilation and muons ( http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Relativ/muon.html ) - there should be far fewer observed muons at the surface if muons didn't experience time dilation from their relativistic speeds.

> The historical experiment upon which the model muon experiment is based was performed by Rossi and Hall in 1941. They measured the flux of muons at a location on Mt Washington in New Hampshire at about 2000 m altitude and also at the base of the mountain. They found the ratio of the muon flux was 1.4, whereas the ratio should have been about 22 even if the muons were traveling at the speed of light, using the muon half-life of 1.56 microseconds. When the time dilation relationship was applied, the result could be explained if the muons were traveling at 0.994 c.

(note: mean lifetime and half-life are different numbers)

The thing here is that 2.2 μs is slow, but even with something that is that fast (on a human scale), there's a lot of neat science that can be done with them. They've even made muonic atoms (where the electron is replaced by a muon) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotic_atom ... and that leads to possibilities on lowering fusion temperature ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon-catalyzed_fusion ) because the muon is much closer to the nucleus in its ground state.

It can be difficult to perceive how a comment will come across on the internet because you (I don't mean you personally—it works this way for all of us) have additional context in your head, such as your intent, the past experiences that have led you to feel or see an issue the way you do, and so on. But you're literally the only person who has that context. If you don't include it explicitly in your text, it remains unavailable to readers.

From the perspective of someone just reading the words with none of that context, I can tell you for sure that your GP comment comes across as a personal attack—specifically, as snarky, aggressive, and judgmental, even crossing into mind-reading (telling someone why they did what they did), and all this on a topic that is highly emotional for most people.

I believe you that you didn't mean it that way! But that for sure is the likeliest default interpretation of your comment, and since "likeliest default interpretation" is what determines the actual impact of a post on the thread, we have to moderate when we see things like that.

It's true there is some sheltering with homeschooling. But it's not airtight or longlasting. Homeschooled kids, especially teens, will get exposed to outside influences.
