Soap goes as far back as Babylon, you Anglophilic weeaboo.
It's funny how you think it's a mic drop that you didn't bother to check basic facts before attempting to defame someone by name, anonymous commenter.

I just told you this was a dumb hill to die on, but I can't stop you from commenting like this.
Yeah I'm talking about taxes in the United States, not continuing that strained analogy.

I don't mean to be flippant, but engaging with a disconnected hypothetical takes away from the discussion of reality. In my original comment, I believe I sufficiently communicated that I disagree that taxes are extortion. In the context of funding libraries and churches, I don't think that disagreement is going to lead us anywhere.
This seems like the worst kind of envy politics. Why not also ban motor racing, private yachts. mansions, excessive jewellery, etc, etc.

The right answer is to tax it. The 'business class ticket' alternative given in the article is not very realistic.

I believe most private jet travel is for business, and it means people can fly directly between locations, at whatever time is convenient, which might be difficult or highly inconvenient otherwise. And exchanging the hell that is airports and airport security for a dedicated private jet terminal is surely worth paying for if you travel frequently.
Not Dual EC, but ECDSA is used (by law) in EU smart tachograph systems for signing data.
I started with a single system on NixOS around February of this year. I just recently saw an example of `nix search` instead of `nix-env -qaP`. I haven't seen any documentation for all of this new stuff. Any place to go, or do we just have to go read the source code?
Yeah, but that just shows there are a lot of bots. There are a lot of twitter users too. 5% of a lot (of Twitter users) as bots equals a lot of bots. So, that's consistent.

What about all the tweets that aren't famous politicians? What about the orders of magnitude more people who just read, and maybe like, tweets?

I don't think "I see a lot of bots" is an argument that the 5% number is wrong.
> a trusted system where I can capture things that will then SHOW me those things when I need to see them.

The related principle that sticks with me is, your mind is more for processing/doing things than for simply storing them.
The old tax expired. Or will expire. The new proposal increased the rate apparently. I don't know how much or why.
Where on Earth will people live in the future?
Nothing. It was just another opportunity to throw some more misinformation confetti.
The main thing I'm seeing here is sky rocketing wealth inequality and that families are required to put more of their time into work/supporting themselves, than being a family.
Some MBA middle manager decided a grid provides more value to buyers, ergo segment the market for el-cheapo notebooks by boosting the price ?
I guess this is my point: If you have strong mathematicians and cryptographers, you don't end up using NIST.

There are lots of companies who have need for cryptography who don't know who to trust. What should they do in a world where the standards bodies are adversarial?

Maybe this is just the future, if you don't know crypto you're doomed to either do the research or accept that you're probably backdoored? Seems like a rough place to be...
I think they absolutely understood that, and definitely preferred no library over a library operating the way theirs was.
What happens if Musk loses? Will he be forced to buy the company, or just to pay a huge fine?
Why don't they play ads with catchy melodies though? (Not that I would want that)

After all, for a moment they have a monopoly on your attention.

The same holds for public restrooms.
You should tell Bernstein that! Your logic implies he's wasting his time with the suit.
Yes, it's safe to assume that public data is being scraped off Twitter constantly, especially with their history of nerfing the APIs they provide. And for most of the accounts affected by this breach the impact seems low.

But from an engineering standpoint, they failed to audit a somewhat obscure, (presumably) low-traffic endpoint that received an extraordinary amount of attention. It's kind of wild they're willing to admit such incompetence.
> Also Chicha is the wonderful spit based corn beer. The yeast probably won't be missed.

I was curious what you meant by this, from Wikipedia:

> In some cultures, instead of germinating the maize to release the starches therein, the maize is ground, moistened by saliva in the chicha maker's mouth, and formed into small balls, which are then flattened and laid out to dry.[10] Naturally occurring ptyalin enzymes in the maker's saliva catalyses the breakdown of starch in the maize into maltose. This process of chewing grains or other starches was used in the production of alcoholic beverages in pre-modern cultures around the world, including, for example, sake in Japan. Chicha prepared in this manner is known as chicha de muko.

Also like all classic Inca stories, it contained this bit:

> The Incas themselves show the importance of chicha. The lords or royalty probably drank chicha from silver and gold cups known as keros.[34] Also, after defeating an enemy Inca rulers would have heads of the defeated enemy converted into cup to drink chicha from

We have the Domesday Book from the 11th century which was a complete survey of the entire country, and we have parish and monastic records, wills, town charters and tax accounts from later periods. Of course there are gaps and ambiguities but we’re far from blind about those times.
I'm just saying, you're speaking as an expert in the field. Let's say you don't want to do design any of that stuff but you need some parts of those systems for the thing you're building. How do you decide what you can or can't trust without having deep knowledge of the subject matter?

Maybe that's it, maybe you can't?

Sad, but that's what happened all over the world around that time: beer production was completely industrialized and commoditized and small breweries just couldn't compete anymore. The craft beer/microbrewery movement started in the US and UK a few years later, but it took some time until it spread to South America.
I don't think sitting on the shelf is ever a problem. What many people don't like is the reading events where the books presenting a complex problem from a very specific and questionable viewpoint are forced into kids' attention span without their parents explicitly asking for it.
Peer review and "informal standards". Good examples of things that were, until long after their widespread adoption, informal standards include Curve25519, Salsa20 and ChaCha20, and Poly1305. A great example of an informal standard that remains an informal standard despite near-universal adoption is WireGuard. More things like WireGuard. Less things like X.509.
The actual claim is that NSA may have already spent a lot of time and effort to analyse PQC algorithm underlying problems without making their findings public.

DJB seems to suspect that they may influence NIST to select algorithms and parameters within the range of what they already know how to break.

German language has a word absent from English: doch.

Because you ended that with a presumption "no", regardless of if I said "yes" ("ja") or "no" ("nein") you might well take that as an agreement, but "doch" is (when used as a particle) always a disagreement with the main claim: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/doch#German

So:

Doch, a perfect copy of a human mind but in software would be a counter example where the human intelligence itself would imply to me that it has personhood (others will argue about p-zombies, and rich-inner-world consciousness is not well enough defined to convince people in general even with this, which is where I was going with my original point).

But it wouldn't matter if the answer was "yes", because I was very careful to write about sentience and inner world experience rather than intelligence with regard to rights.

If you wish to argue that intelligence is necessary for creativity, then existing AI must count as intelligent, but (A ⇒ B) ⇏ (B ⇒ A) so don't mistake that for a claim for the reverse.
My reading wasn't that he thinks they built backdoors into them, but that the NSA might be aware of weaknesses in some of them, and be trying to promote the algorithms they know how to break.
How do you know that Noise is a good design and that a cipher cascade isn't? Whatever (correctly) told you that, apply it to other cryptographic problems.
He mostly seems to be making it up so I wouldn't assume you learned too much.
Look for PA+++ ratings. You might have to buy sunscreen made outside the US, such as sunscreens made in Korea.
So use whatever crypto Signal uses, or that WireGuard uses. You're not working in a vacuum. You don't even trust NIST to begin with, and yet we still encrypt things, so I'm a little confuddled by the argument that NIST's role as a trusted arbiter of cryptography is vital to our industry. NIST is mostly a force for evil!
>I've even seen sites where registration is done on sites with expired certs. Not everyone registers directly within the service itself, and there are plenty of cases where config and security are not implemented and managed properly.

I might be missing something, but what does that have to do with the efficacy of token-based 2FA?
Counterexample: I publish a book consisting of 100 pages of repeating word "test" and ask the library to purchase 10 copies of it at $100 per copy. Can the library refusal be treated as censorship?

What if I give a $50 kickback to an activist within the library that claims that the book is essential to some cause, but then the board shuts down the proposal? Is that censorship?
I think you are right to highlight this point.

It seems we are in early days in the science of trans-prepubescents and trans-adolescents. Different from LGBQ, trans decisions are sometimes medical and hard to reverse. I am not surprised that parents in a less liberal community would be allergic to any risk of their children becoming trans.

Censorship is abhorrent, probably even to that community, but they are in the fog of culture war and go to battle with the pathetic weapons they have.

One one hand, it seems impossible to run a library without curation. If nothing else, space is limited.

On the other hand, the American Librarian Association's Library Bill of Rights says that libraries should have books presenting all points of view on current and historical issues, neither proscribed nor removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.

https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill

List of document interpreting those rights: https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/interpre...

Some choice quotes from https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/interpre... :

> Thus there is no justification for the exclusion of opinions deemed to be unpopular or offensive by some segments of society no matter how vocal or influential their opponents may be at any particular time in any particular place.

> A balanced collection need not and cannot contain an equal number of resources representing every possible viewpoint on every issue. A balanced collection should include the variety of views that surround any given issue.

It all seems broadly reasonable; a library need not and cannot give equal shelf space to both sides of every issue. Nevertheless, a library should not categorically exclude one side of an issue, no matter how offensive.
People are already pushing back to one-way collection of such data in public spaces, so I would guess that an implementation that does that and directly acts on it (effectively pigeonholing you in a generic musical preference cohort based on age and sex) would cause an even stronger reaction.

In the Netherlands a couple of those companies that rent out screens with advertising in the public space placed new versions that included a camera above the screen meant for measuring people's reactions to content shown, detecting demographics and mood. After public backlash they promised these were deactivated until the legal situation became clear, but by now they've stuck thick badges over these with their brand name. I guess they got sick of people putting stickers over the camera holes.

This news is not as bad as known advantages which can be exploited in PoW for several years now, namely selfish mining, which only benefits the largest or most coordinated miners. This attack is open for all, which effectively cancels out the advantage it offers (assuming everyone does it); the externalization is consistent, minor inaccuracies of time stamps on blocks.
looks like Mrs. Littman still believes in validity of her research and validity of methods and materials used. Her research view is considered toxic, only because its against mainstream consensus in media, that completely ignores medical errors in diagnosing and treating ROGD.

she not only included parents, but asked patients as well, and their opinion does carry some weight in my book.

there are commentaries in support of her continued research for sake of current and future patients

Ok, so are you also against birth control and or opt in sterilization, otherwise your position is inconsistent and I don’t claim morals are logic, but they should at least be consistent.

Oh also since we’re on a technicality forum. Trans hormones don’t necessarily cause permanent sterilization. Plenty of trans people have children
This is silly.

The thing you need to concentrate on is how to make the company successful. Is it possible to convert your third of the company into massive amounts of cash? Doesn't sound like it, because the company is not a unicorn. You should be concentrating on getting the company (and therefore, your third of the company) to be worth as much as possible, and not worry about silly ego stuff.

Also, if this is really important to you - at my company, both the CTO and the VP of Engineering report to the CEO. It is not a given that VP report to CTO.

Change is difficult for many. Our society is evolving towards recognizing people who historically have been invisible or ostracized to dangerous and tragic ends. The pendulum of acceptance is finally swinging in the direction of seeing all the fantastic variations of who real humans truly are instead of shunning those that don't fit the standard mold. It saddens me to see so much resistance to these groundbreaking advancements towards embracing the beautiful variations of what the human experience really is. And remember, that pendulum has swung extremely unfavorably against so many people for hundreds if not thousands of years. And suddenly when it swings in their favor for just a blip of historical time, those too afraid to embrace the true chaotic tapestry of what makes each of us unique seem all too quick to make decisions towards returning to erasing those individuals who have just barely begun to be seen as human.

I am unavoidably reminded of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation’s Happy Vertical People Transporters.
Not entirely true. For a long time Godot has had Engine.get_physics_interpolation_fraction, which permits smooth interpolation of visual bodies ticking at render rate while their physics bodies tick at the physics rate (2D or 3D). I can run my physics at 2 fps (or any increment) and an object will smoothly move from A to B, because rendering is happening in _process and target positions are being calculated in _physics_process.

Placing a camera under the control of a physics node is just the way most people do it because they don't know any better. Decoupling an object's physics representation from visual representation is something many devs never learn, and they pay the price with frustrating visual stuttering under any engine -- as I did for many, many months back in the day under Unity until figuring it all out.

I'm looking forward to playing with the new baked-in physics interpolation (albeit only for 3D so far) with 3.5, but this has been easy to implement in 3.x for anyone familiar with "get_physics_interpolation_fraction".
Didn’t read the article? They say at the end if this is how Eth manages a known consensus system, it reflects poorly on how they will implement a far more complicated and unexplored one.
That’s not how this works; you cannot discredit an entire scientific field and then demand some papers and books for the lazy to get into it. Anthropology has a corpus of millions of papers, and you demand what? A proof that they aren’t full of themselves.
When 3D touch was introduced, I made a comment on HN that stated Apple failed to learn the "Menu" button lesson from Android (it was around that time that Android was dropping support for the menu button).

I'm not a UX specialist, but even I could connect the dots on how 3D touch was just the iOS version of the long-deprecated Android menu button: useful, but with non-existent discoverability. Additionally, apps would support it inconsistently, so most users wouldn't know the functionality exists at all, and of those that do know about it, sometimes the feature does nothing at all.

> The DC1100 is a true Laser Particle Counter that works on the same principles as the $8,000 particle counters used in pharmaceutical and semiconductor clean rooms. Those guys really do need to know how clean their air is and they don’t use sensors like the one on your air cleaner. Those cheap sensors usually have an LED and photodiode arranged at an angle so the photodiode will pick up any light scattered back off the particles in the air. This design is inexpensive, but suffers from very poor signal to noise ratio and can only detect light scattered off many particles in a volume of air.

> In contrast, the DC1100 uses a focused laser which results in a drastically higher signal to noise ratio. This means that air can be flowed through a focused laser beam and the DC1100 is actually sensitive enough to detect individual particles. With this ability the DC1100 cannot only count the particles, but it can also size them based on the amount of light they scatter. For convenience sake, the DC1100 displays two particle counts – small and large. The large particle count includes pollens, dust mite debris, insect feces, coarse dust, etc. The small particle count includes most bacteria, mold, fine dust, etc. The small particle count can range from many thousands down to zero so the home owner can measure air quality with vastly greater resolution than is possible with 5 green LEDs.

The right direction, IMO, is to keep the elevators silent. If someone implements your proposal, someone else will top that with complete tracking and the killer feature being the accurate music choice.
I bet nobody would like to sign an agreement or privacy policy to use an elevator though. Less is more in this case.
Yep,

In many caste-esque societies, having a darker tone is a sign of having to work outside, thus of lower class.

This is blatantly false. A western trope resounding forever.

Culturally India was a unified entity for millenia. As in, perhaps not having a unified government, but having the same cultural and literary background throughout the region.

Ancient texts like Ramayana and Mahabharata talk about various places and practices across the length and breadth of India, which are remarkably similar and have a unified core.

The greatest temples of Hinduism are not concentrated in one place, but spread over the entirety of the continent. And those are ancient temples. From Saraswati Temple in Kashmir to the Bhagavathi temple in Kanya Kumari.

The idea that India was not a cultural entity was a British invention
