The peer review NIST is refereeing happened in the open. Thus far, Bernstein is the only person making these claims. For all the words he burns on NIST's sordid history, he chose to participate in this NIST-run process, and imploded publicly only after the results were announced. There are dozens of cryptographers with reputations in the field comparable to Bernstein's who also participated. Bernstein is the only one suggesting that NSA bribed the contest winners.

From what I can tell, nobody who actually works in this field is taking any of this seriously; what I see is a whole lot of eye rolling and "there he goes again". But you don't get any of that on HN, because HN isn't a forum for cryptography researchers. All you get is Bernstein's cheering section.

I was part of Bernstein's cheering section! I understand the feeling. And, like, I'm still using ChaPoly and 25519 in preference to any of the alternatives! He's done hugely important work. But he has, not to put too fine a point on it, a fucked up reputation among his peers in cryptography research, and he's counting on you not to know that, and to confuse a routine, workaday FOIA lawsuit with some monumental new bit of litigation.

It's a deeply cynical thing for him to be doing.

He could have just announced, in his lovably Bernsteinian† way, that NIST had failed in its FOIA obligations, and he was holding them to account. I'd be cheering too. But he wrote a screed that culminated in an allegation that NSA had bribed members of PQC teams to weaken their submissions. Simply risible; it's embarrassing to be part of a community that dignifies that argument, even if I absolutely get why it's happening. I have contempt for him for exploiting all of you.

None of this is to take anything away from his FOIA suit. I stan his FOIA attorneys. The suit, boring as it is, is a good thing. He should win, and he almost certainly will; L&L wouldn't have taken the case if he wasn't going to. Just keep in mind, people sue and win over FOIA mistakes all the time. In Illinois, you even get fee recovery when you win. This isn't Bernstein v United States!

† I'm not being snarky; I was a multiple-decades-long admirer of that style.
The word you are referring to is "čuda" or equivalently in cyrilic "чуда" pronounced "chuda".

I had never heard of GROUP BY CUBE either! It looks like it's part of a family of special GROUP BY operators—GROUPING SETS, CUBE, and ROLLUP—that basically issue the same query multiple times with different GROUP BY expressions and UNION the results together.

Using GROUP BY CUBE(a, b, c, ...) creates GROUP BY expressions for every element in the power set of {a, b, c, ...}, so GROUP BY CUBE(a, b) does separate GROUP BYs for (a, b), (a), (b) and ().

It's like SQL's version of a pivot table, returning aggregations of data filtered along multiple dimensions, and then also the aggregations of those aggregations.

It seems like it's well supported by Postgres [1], SQL Server [2] and Oracle [3], but MySQL only has partial support for ROLLUP with a different syntax [4].

Seems like a tortured analogy; "Bob" is not a single person but rather a town of a few thousand. And "pushed into Bob's attention span" means a book sitting on the shelf where any of the 'Bobs' can pick it up if they want to, or ignore it otherwise.

Not really, if you care for arts or culture. The cheap places are car-centric cultural wastelands.

The use of the word grooming is new, although the reference to pedophilia is not. What’s crazy is how that can carry weight in 2022.

Uuuuh, I mean, I could understand you saying that a /library/ doesn't need to be publicly funded, but a /public library/, being publicly funded is kind of its whole deal.

It's actually not that clear. Like most traits, both genetics and environment play a role.

Also, you are straw-manning the "homophobic" position. Humans have self-control, and having a desire doesn't mean one should act on it.
Isn't Beats by Dre considered not top of the line when it comes to sound quality and more like a fashion brand?

I'm not saying that they are bad, just that they aren't at the same level as brands like bose and sennheiser which are way less focused on celebrities branding.

You can't compare a for-profit corporation with a public library. You also can't compare a TV station (which offers fixed programming) with a library (which allows users to browse titles on request).

Libraries are not supposed to editorialize their collection. Consider the library as a physical version of the internet. Nobody is forcing users to read a specific page online, but we generally agree that ISPs shouldn't censor content that the user has requested.
I thought it varied by country, class, etc. I remember reading that Anna of Kiev (if I'm not mistaken), after visiting France, had a culture shock that French aristocracy smelled badly, apparently due to inadequate bathing.
Leaving the United States for somewhere better and cheaper while continuing your US-based software consultancy is a tried and true arbitrage strategy. It worked out great for me in my 20s.
A YubiKey under the doormat protects against one of primary intended scenario: preventing phishing. It's unlikely that a phisher on the other side of the world has access to your doormat. Moreover:

- Modern FIDO2 keys allow you to set a password (I think sites have to implement the newer FIDO2/Webauthn standards rather than U2F to use this functionality). So then when someone takes it from under your doormat, it is worthless.

- Passkeys are coming. E.g. on Apple platforms they will be secured between devices using end-to-end encryption (through iCloud keychain) and they use biometric authentication to unlock (Face ID or Touch ID). This will make non-password authentication a lot more convenient.
yeah for most cultures soap was probably used for cleaning other things first. In general it's a good way to loosen bits of dirt off of something. Very useful in making and maintaining fabrics. The idea to use them on our own skin likely came as a secondary innovation
No, but 8 year old are kids too and Maus is definitely not for them.
Honestly most brands so far are perfectly happy having a new number specifically for SMS.

Campaign registration and 10DLC stuff is annoying but not the end of the world. Honestly, we prefer doing real-time messaging based on user events rather than mass-campaigns, so it's less of a problem when you're spreading messages out that way.
> When DMO issued the letter on October 29, 2014, it took a no-action position with respect to the operation of a not-for-profit market for certain event contracts and the offering of such contracts to U.S. persons by Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand without registration as a designated contract market, foreign board of trade, or swap execution facility, and without registration of its operators.

> DMO has determined that Victoria University has not operated its market in compliance with the terms of the letter and as a result has withdrawn it.

For the "other side". They got a waiver to operate an unregistered securities market, as a non-profit University-based organization. They allegedly did not operate it as they said they would, so they are losing their waiver. If companies want to offer these services, they are entirely within their American rights to do so legally.
Measuring dust with a Dylos air quality monitor (2012)
The board voted to remove it from the curriculum. But they removed it because they thought it was inappropriate for adult supervised 8th graders. Leaving it in a library where younger children could read it alone would be strange. How do you know it was still in the library? I checked 3 articles. None said.
This is the cost of removing brick-and-mortar facilities where customers can try out options. Companies save tons of money not needing to support outlets in every major city globally. Then they spend a bit more on returns. Getting rid of both will result in no sales because I'll shop at a competitor.

I recently got a weightlifting coach and was required to buy specialized weightlifting shoes. I live in Houston which serves 7-8 million people, but there was nowhere in town to try on or buy any weightlifting shoe:

- Nike Romaleos
- Adidas Adipower
- Rogue Do-win / Classic

This is despite there being quite a few Nike and Adidas stores here - standalone, typical mall, and outlet malls. So I bought 3 sizes and am returning two sizes.

For Silca, maybe they have 3 different pumps and there's no way for me to stop by a local REI / bike shop to try them out. Is it worth getting a portable pump and a garage pump or can I just get by with the portable? Who the fuck knows. But I can buy both and return one if the value isn't worth the price.

Or Silca can put a store in Houston where I can try out the products.

Want to reduce return fraud? Make customers bring back items to your local store where knowledgeable salespeople can inspect it at the time of return. My guess is that eating return fraud is a lot cheaper though.
It'll cost you far more than the spammer is paying for the call.
I don't think his success in business is in any way whatsoever supportive of your claim. McDonalds also has billions in revenue; does that make it great food?

>In ancient times, right until the attacks by Islamist marauders and "civilized" Britishers, none of what you have mentioned were an issue.

My assumption, when applied to India, would be that it would be an issue for the untouchables caste?

>If you are not aware, this was how most of the world lived. Lower class was the norm. We are now living in an age of disproportionate luxury.

Even so it still seems unlikely that every member of the society would be able to enjoy these amenities, the question really becomes at which cutoff point is one too poor to do so, and how much of the society was that poor?
I'm not missing this. It's not a problem the way you describe it. With nix you generally choose between packaging with deps that are in the repo, or effectively provide your own list of vendored versions. Both cover all the deeper dependencies and you get the choice of integrating with the project's build system or ignoring it and providing your own lockfile equivalent. (the latter especially if the build does something really weird)

Even if authors are not responsive, nix maintainers provide the required patches or disable the broken functionality. So no, things are mostly ok.
> I know people using DynamoDB for a tiny dataset that would easily fit in sqlite (or any other DB) running on a $20/month VPS.

Depending on the use cases, there are plenty of reasons you might want to go down a NoSQL route other than price - schemaless makes it much easier and quicker to hack together new projects for instance (and more fun too!)

To be clear, I mean if the irl is longer than the width of the visible address bar, I cannot move the cursor outside the visible box and bring the rest of the url into view. So for example I might want to edit a query param.
Basically, "grooming" means adults doing things targeted at children that are of a sexual nature or put sexual thoughts in their heads (e.g., inviting children to dance on stripper poles). If someone called you that here on HN, it's more likely they were accusing you of being okay with others' behavior like that rather than actually doing it yourself (although still almost certainly inappropriate for them to do so).
Contradicting the official narrative on Covid19 isn't automatically 'misinformation', the official narrative held that masks are useless in the first months, then insisted on it religiously the following months, when, in fact, they are indeed mostly useless in the face of latest variants. Both of those convictions were held against evidence, and intelligent and knowledgeable commenters and organizations tried to point out what was wrong in them only to be met by "debonking" and censorship.

Reality is not harassment. If somebody is upset they can't control someone's else words or perception, they can go to therapy about it. This remains true even if you invent a couple of dumb words to describe the words or perceptions that upset you, like 'deadnaming' or 'misgendering'.

There is a difference between deliberate selectivity based on ideology, clearly and nakedly what twatter does, and simple errors and human variability.

Yes, I'm entirely free to think anything I want and disparage any website or any other group\institution of people for not agreeing with me, and being happy that dumb anti-free-speechers are dragged to court and toyed with for months. What I don't understand is how your dumb role-playing of an imagined strawman of me in your first reply says anything about me or my opinions.
It costs more to filter the inefficiency than it does to take the loss.
pls read this research, kids absolutely can (falsely) decide that they are trans just because it is considered trendy and because some of their friends came out as trans (peer pressure).

Then after some time they realize they are NOT trans and were falsely led to gender-change surgery, and have to reverse gender reversal surgery

You may be speaking to better informed suckers than I am - as of the people I know who are “into audio”, they all get the magic ceramic quantum nanomagnets for their cables to go on, they all swear that 8-track was the pinnacle of sound quality, and that they can “hear” digital noise on CDs.

Honestly, it’s 1% “I like music” and 99% snake oil salesmen taking advantage of fragile egos.
> . Nobody is " against trans " people, whatever that means

What it means is “actively seeking to eliminate trans people, including by the simple expedient of killing them by means such as prohibiting care that is proven to greatly reduce suicidality in, especially, young trans people.”

And lots of people—indeed, entire state governments in the US—are “against trans people”.
You're mistaken; a public library is a library that is open to the general public. They are often publicly funded as well, but not necessarily so. Some public libraries are privately funded, and some private libraries are publicly funded (e.g. university libraries closed to the general public, at schools that receive public funding)

The 'public' in public library refers to who the library is open to, not how the library is funded.
Yep, assuming there are two equally valid positions for everything, because they have a two-party system, so there must be for every topic a GOP side and a Democrat side. Never mind that both parties have often similar bad policies on any topic, in which case you fool yourself believing to be objective while you are only repeating bipartisan dogma.

"Better than 10 for Hitler and none for anyone else". No, the critics of two-party systems don't want a single party system like Soviet Russia. They want multipartism.

And science has sometimes settled on only one theory. And in other times may have four different competing hypotheses. And other times just no idea whatsoever.

The positive side of both-sideism is that it's very easy. Count the number of sides being presented. Complain if it's not two. Being very lazy myself, I value that.
I think you are missing out a good few hundred years. Caliphate were not Persians (Indo-European).

The tribes I was talking about were Parthians [1] and Sassanids [2]. These are long before Islam and Muslim invasion of Iran and they were once part of Achaemenid empire.

I don’t know what you exactly mean by power structure but the form of government (i.e. Central government and Satraps) were adopted by and outlived the Macedonians.

Hunchentoot – The Common Lisp web server formerly known as TBNL
Do you know about the LET function? It lets you make lexically scoped variables. And the IFS function is basically an if-elif(-elif...)-else chain, eliminating nested IF. So your example would be:

=LET(
foo, LongExpression,
bar, OtherLongExpression,
baz, AnotherLongExpression,
bax, YetAnotherLongExpression
IFS(
AND(foo > 3, bar < 5), baz,
AND(foo > 5, bar < 10), bax,
TRUE, 0))

The formula bar can be resized and you can insert new lines with alt-enter. Sadly there's no easy way to indent, you just have to tap the spacebar (or write the formulae in Notepad++ and copypaste across like I do). Also I recommend using Lisp style "close parentheses all at the end of the line" style, rather than "Egyptian brackets".

While American and European sunbathers tend to seek the perfect tan, many Indian and East Asian women avoid it at all costs, through sunscreen and a whole bevy of skin-lightening products:

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-18268914

https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1005927/chinas-quest-for-fair...

Such standards of beauty are quite old and largely predate Western colonialism. My impression is that they were often linked to caste or class, where higher-class people spent more time indoors while lower-class workers spent more time out in the sun.

This cultural difference is the source of much amusement for the Indian spouse of my European coworker. When they vacation in Europe all the ladies on the beach want to tan, and when they visit India it’s the other way around.
It wouldn't work with albums where the mastering is different, especially if the digital release is compressed more. You cannot undo squashed dynamic range really. A famous example from a while ago is the album stadium arcadium by the red hot chili peppers. Comparing the two versions of a song should sound notably different even to a casual listener. And you can really see the difference just looking at the wave forms.

It was widely deployed. NSA got it into BSAFE, which I would have said "nobody uses BSAFE, it's not 1996 anymore", but it turned out a bunch of closed-source old-school hardware products were using BSAFE. The most notable BSAFE victims were Juniper/Netscreen.

Everybody who claimed Dual EC was a backdoor was right, and that backdoor was materially relevant to our industry. I couldn't believe something as dumb as Dual EC was a real backdoor; it seemed like such idiotic tradecraft. But the belief that Dual EC was so bad as tradecraft that it couldn't be real was, apparently, part of the tradecraft! Bernstein is right about that (even if he came to the conclusion at basically the same time as everyone else --- like, the instant you find out Juniper/Netscreen is using Dual EC, the jig is up).

Censorship is not merely the desire to not see information. Censorship requires power and moderation authority. Merely blocking someone or a subject from your social media feed does not constitute censorship. When a public authority defunds a library to the extent of facing shutdown because it's carrying unpopular content, that's censorship, plain and simple. There's no getting around that. Censorship doesn't need to be spelt out to be censorship.
Would you be against such a system if the recognition was done entirely locally and it only sent aggregated stats (male, 30-39) to the cloud? I feel like this is coming whether we like it or not, but we (as engineers) can at least try to push it in the right direction.

My guess is it doesn't do proper face recognition but just tries to put you into a bucket. "Oh you are a female teenager, play whatever is popular for that bucket"

I’ve just come here to say that while I am sure that these are useful in some way to someone, they are really bad textbooks.

I think that when doing these kind of report style queries cubed/rolled up columns becomes labels and loses their data type. So it makes sense to convert+coalesce the year column as well to get 'All years' instead of the hard to interpret "null year".
