When it comes to the Go the standard library implementation, that's not really the case. Go doesn't deal very well with the dynamic nature of the linked data. A lot of the architecture of go-ap has to deal with the fallout from this one issue. :(

On the wiki I mentioned before I wrote an explanation that goes over the problem a little more in depth: https://man.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/go-ap/index.md#de...
The salt is typically stored as a prefix to the hash. Its job is not to be a secret, but to ensure that an individual effort must be made to crack each password. I can’t precompute and store the hashes or otherwise reuse previous work.

Another way to look at this is that the salt prevents information leakage from the hashes. Even if the same password occurs dozens or hundreds of times in the same database, unique salts will ensure that every hash is unique.

I'm sorry, what? Controlled by the government "behind the curtains"?

You might want to take a step back and evaluate that thought process.

Private entities are not violating freedom of speech as a legal construct and as an issue of an ideological construct - isn't it violating the private entities freedom of speech when they're being forced to host speech they don't agree with?

If you're saying that you believe a shadow governnent is controlling twitter and that's why it's considered free speech - since it's a government entity in that case, uh, I don't really think that's plausible.

So, while every country in the world has issues with social isolation and loneliness I think the US seems to have a particularly large problem with it. I have no evidence to back this up but it seems to me that family structures in the US are less solid than they are in other countries. And for the people who say "I'm from X immigrant community and we have very strong familial bonds", imagine how much stronger they would be had you not come to the US, and will the next generations bonds be as strong or stronger than your generations bonds?

There is a self-reliance in the US which when it works seems to work ok (although even "successful" people can be very lonely), but when it breaks down very quickly leaves people with no where to turn. People often travel long distances from their families. Often relocating across the country again for work breaking whatever bonds they formed in University. People see their families once or twice a year (because the distances are so great). People prioritize economic needs over family and societal needs and this weakening of familial and societal bonds is the result. Often you end up living far from your family with a spouse and kids. If that doesn't work out - say you break up - you can find yourself alone very fast.

I feel that the homeless problem in the US is a symptom of this - although it also has many other causes. In societies with much stronger societal bonds, people don't let people live on the streets.

I don't have a solution for it, it's just something I've noticed and think about a lot when I listen to stories like this one. And don't get me wrong. Every country has problems like this. It's very easy to get isolated in large crowds of people, I just think the US has a pronounced case of it.
I see a lot of enthusiasm for these protests, but I think the caveat here is that we in the west get to see these protests, footage, and headlines, but truth is the majority of Chinese people do not see this. I think the biggest problem for people in China is access to information like this.

> by labour action: the October Revolution in Russia

Calling Russian revolution a "labour action" is like calling WWI "a brawl between some German and British lads". Technically, part of it fits this description, but one can't but notice it doesn't exactly paint the correct picture. Also, Russian revolution didn't really end the war - rather, Russia was losing badly, which in part led to the regime collapse, which made Russia sign the peace and get out of the war which it could no longer fight. The war didn't end by it though.
I don’t think loneliness fits in the same category as the rest, but I do agree with appreciating now and today.

I've had plenty of arguments here on HN about Israel, and it doesn't seem like most people are just antisemites. Many people have concrete, legitimate criticisms of Israel (and frankly, there's plenty to criticize.)

Sure, some could be motivated by antisemitism, but 99% of people? That doesn't seem right to me. At all.

(E.g. in most arguments, anyone even a little knowledgeable will argue specifically against settlements or against certain actions of the IDF, not just blanket "against Israel existing.")

Every individual success and failure is systemic because individuals are molded by the system. Blaming individuals could be seen as an attempt to fix the system from the bottom.

For keys used in authentication, I feel like rotation largely just protects against keys being leaked. If you can enforce keys to exist only on a secure element then to me I feel like rotation is no longer needed in this particular scenario. With the exception of the key strength no longer being enough or something similar.

Perhaps I'm overlooking something?
One thing I have really appreciated in the last few years - even though the naive interpretation, as you said, gets it backwards - is being able to avoid lots of non-enjoyable / productive “interactions”… things like being able to wait in my car to be called back for appointment, rather than sitting in a waiting area.

I’m still masking with a N95. I’m not super high risk, but I am at elevated risk AND I’ve managed to dodge catching it so far. As an autistic person, it’s a bit of a leveler (less so now that most proble have stopped) since a lot of those non-verbal cues are, well, masked. Similarly, I really appreciate that now many more places allow for text/email customer service… again, helpful since I’m not under time pressuew to communicate

I think the intention of the post not mentioning the handle was just to prevent old discussions from flaring up or so? The post doesn't really contain any new information on the person that would be worth obscuring. So I just thought I'd hash it to prevent that. But it seems I actually screwed up the hashing so I will leave it at that.
Yes, in the sense that you can use any language to write an interpreter for a language of your own that supports tail call optimization and persistent data structures.
> Have you even straightly asked your users: what would you be ready to pay for?

It's a bit up front, but this works. After providing some context to your customer, ask what they'd pay for. Even if they don't answer directly, they're likely to share some more information on what they're looking for or even slip a max budget they might have. Either way it's a win for you to glean some information and make the sale. You can always tailor your existing offerings to the context of your customer, and make them feel like it's specific for their needs.

Is PG implying that SBF is bad at writing, and by extension, thinking? If he is, then I surmise that certain forms of thinking may not be helped by writing long essays, for example, thinking about how to manage public opinion or emotions. For those, writing short messages might be enough.

As a middle class citizen of the US, I certainly find myself worried about how things seem to be in a state of Huxleyian dystopia. So much so that I read the Unabomber Manifesto and found myself profoundly agreeing with many (though certainly not all) aspects of it.

For example:

- some of my friends are more occupied with "bullshit" media like the bachelor(ette) or the NFL than the news

- my life is materially comfortable, but only because people in far away lands are having their labor and resources exploited for my gain (more Orwellian really). Specifically thinking about cobalt mining in the DRC or factory workers at FoxConn

- earlier this year, I was suffering from burnout, and depression. I sought therapy and medication. I could not help but feel that taking Prozac was any different that taking Soma in BNW. But I still did it, and I did feel better. I am no longer taking it, and that comparison is one of the reasons why

Still I am not sure the solution, other than to think critically about each and every decision I make, as opposed to blindly following some ideology or falling prey to groupthink. We'll see.

If there were as many PhDs working on stuff like twistors, loop quantum gravity, MOND, gravitational wave function collapse, etc as there are working on string theory and dark matter/energy I'd agree the argument was made up.

But they're vastly outweighed by the PhDs working in String Theory which is going on 50 years now with nothing really to show for it experimentally. And they do claim that they know the truth, and they defend their PhDs, and their grants and grad students, with rationalizations that aren't testable and don't admit any evidence. It very much seems like a religion.

Nobody has patched the holes in the theories that I mentioned, but almost nobody works on them, so the problems become self-fulfilling. And it just isn't that easy these days to have a single Einstein come along and upend the apple cart with a handful of rapid fire papers.

I'd agree. Couple comments:

* The US has a strong individualistic culture and is a highly capitalistic society. Taken together, this produces people are who driven to prioritize career over other things, like staying close to your family. I live in the bay area and can list all the people who are here, far away from family, for better career opportunities. I am one of them.

* The US is a large country with various hubs. If your family is not near a hub, you see them less.

* Anecdotally, my friends who have children tend to be less lonely not due to the presence of kids but the surrounding "village" that develops around them (grandparents, relatives, parents of your kids' friends, etc). The US has a declining birth rate, which is pronounced in the major hubs. Again, I don't have data to back this claim up but I think on the whole, parents are less lonely.
Imposition of market liberalism, to me at least, feels like an extension of that perceived Western superiority, especially combined with the hubris that The End of History drew from.

There are several things that inform my prefference for 'vanilla' web over slides.

1. Many students are on mobile or a small laptop, and slides do not work well on a small screen.

2. Downloading pdfs can be a bore.

3. Most of our teaching is done on the Learning Management System (LMS) Canvas, and Keeping learning media web-based places teaching material nice and close to this.

4. As I keep all my material in one large open-access Canvas, I can cross link to other lecture material. In this way, assignment descriptions are peppered with appropriate support material.

5. Web pages is a live entity that can be updated at ease.

> or would you be willing to share an example?

Sure... The following is taken from our OER, other stuff is restricted.

- Western art history. Very linear, fairly vanilla:

- Typography crimes. By my talented colleague:

- Colour for artists. I must have done this one 100 times. A tough task to present key knowledge in a streamlined manner.

https://rmit.instructure.com/courses/87565/modules/696256

I have not given up on slides altogether. In fact, only last week I made some slides to address the topic of colour to high school students. In that instance, the linearity of slides served the task effectively.
Could somebody help me understand which part of the process was handled by the students? From what I can tell prepping, planting and harvesting at the scale of 85ha would be done with giant machines?
She's absolutely right. When I was a kid I watched and read a lot of Brian Greene's stuff about string theory. I even saw him give a talk in person about the multiverse in grad school (I studied biology). The truth is, Greene is brilliant but his idea of science veers into fantasy. There's an entire generation of physicists who grew up during an era where all the low hanging experimental fruit evaporated. A modern physics experiment costs millions if not billions of dollars. Some of these physicists in their 50s have no idea what experimental science looks like, and this mentality has bled into the popular consciousness of what scientists do.

It's in biology where you still have ample low hanging fruit in terms of experiments. I feel if you're a brilliant physics grad in 2022, don't waste your time on string theory - apply some of that knowledge to chemistry and biology
The speech that advocates breaking the laws, but does not lead to immediate lawless action is already protected. I.e. if you say "hey you, I order you to take this gun and kill X!" then you're in trouble. But if you say something like "moral imperative declares that X should be killed" (and it's not a coded signal for an assassin but a genuine moralistic argument not intended to cause any specific action) then it's protected. That's why, for example, people marching through Oakland shouting "Death to America" were doing it in complete accordance with the law.
I’m in Sweden which in many cultural respects is the polar opposite of the US (within the West at least). But loneliness seems to be a major societal issue here as well. Where the US is self-reliant Sweden is probably “state-reliant”, but the effect is similar.

It has its upsides though. My parents were abusive and our relationship is very limited today. Limiting contact with them is the best decision I’ve made in my life, and I’m not sure I would have been able to do that in a culture with stronger familial bonds.

Artisanal products are expensive because human work is expensive. You can either have a machine that produces a million bland identical tea cups a day for a cost of a dollar per cup or you can have an expert potter produce two dozen artisanal tea cups a day. Even if the potter works for minimum wage and materials are free it's several times more expensive.
PSA: If you are using AWS, you should be using Session Manager for remote access to your EC2 instances if possible - it is free and trivial to enable.

So, if the government decides to go to war, this opinion becomes irrelevant then?

And if the US can't convince people to enlist when they're under threat of invasion, I guess people just don't support the regime as much. I'm sure North Koreans are telling people "But what if the Americans invade? We must have the draft".

At least in Seattle, the homeless problem is a drug addiction problem, as 90% of them are drug addicts or alcoholics. Drug addicted people often wind up homeless because their families can't live with them anymore, as the addiction consumes them.
When I was depressed and lonely after a couple years living in LA, I spent a year or so hanging out with Herbalife "health coaches" at the beach. We would play dodgeball, exercise in the sand, then go to a nearby venue and drink $5 protein shakes while they tried to get us to join the MLM scheme. It was a positive experience, despite the connections being mostly shallow. I also lost 40lb and could do 100 pull-ups in a day.
