My understanding was that NSA was the bad actor here. Not NIST. They intentionally withheld information about a timing vulnerability in an encryption algorithm that was being evaluated for standardization by NIST.

I think the creator's comment is talking past the original post: in my reading, it wasn't suggested that a random 20-character password was successfully brute-forced due to a weak KDF. My reading was that the target likely had a strong non-random password, one that was derivable via OSINT or post-seizure forensics (i.e., playing password keyword soup). The KDF's weakness made a search for that password feasible where a strong KDF (like Argon2id) would have prevented it.

In other words: nothing about the scenario requires the target to have failed to engage in proper password management or even password selection (beyond the minor but extremely normal decision to use a memorable password rather than a random one).

A classical load balancer runs in an HA hot-warm pair, with IP takeover --- when the secondary senses the primary has failed, it takes over the IP and begins serving. Depending on the type of load balancing and the software involved, this could be nearly seamless, or it could end all sessions in progress.

If you want to run hot-hot load balancing on a single IP, it's generally done with routing protocols. Equal cost multi-path (ECMP) will split traffic by hashing on some portion of the (source IP, dest IP, protocol, source port, dest port) 5-tuple; you'd configure your router to enable ECMP, and then your load balancers would advertise the IP via BGP or RIP or whatever is cool these days. Communication between load balancers to handle sessions that move during failover and bring-up is optional (if you don't do it, sessions will end abruptly); this setup is similar to anycast, although with anycast you may also see sessions move when external routing changes, and you really should manage that. You also should have a method to handle ICMP packets, most specificially needs-frag packets, as they will be sent from a different IP than the connection peer and will likely hash differently and may likely route differently for anycast, too.

You can use DNS to direct traffic to multiple load balancers, but DNS is not a precision instrument. It's useful for geographic balancing (in addition to anycast), but resolvers have a tendancy to cache results for longer than published TTLs and it takes significant effort to understand how much request traffic a given resolver will generate from one lookup. For balancing between two load balancers where you want roughly equal traffic, you also need to consider pathologic behavior like RFC 3484 and RFC 6724. These two RFCs suggest preferentially using IPs with a larger common prefix when multiple options are available. This only makes sense when the common prefix is meaningful. If your ISP was assigned 10.1.2.0/24 and I have service IPs of 10.1.7.3 and 10.2.4.5 and return both of those as A records, your resolver shouldn't really prefer one or the other, because beyond your ISP prefix, there's no actual network closeness implied by a similar IP. 'Smart' resolvers that follow this RFC can cause large scale traffic imbalances, so fun times there.
You could go with sticky sessions, or consistent hashing to maximize cache hit rate. Then you may run into hotspots and look at bounded-load consistent hashing, etc.
>I just don't understand when you see two disparate groups the desire not to raise the lower one up, but hold back the better off group. You can make both groups better off at the same time

No you can't. Wealth transfers move wealth between people, they don't create wealth. If it did then raising the minimum wage to $100 would make everyone wealthy, but economics/physics doesn't work like that. And in the same manner that mandating a $100 minimum wage would make everyone worse off due to heavily distorting the market, mandating a $20 minimum wage makes everyone worse off to a smaller degree.

>The whole point of higher productivity is that everyone should benefit

Productivity comes from investment in tools and technology; from _capital_. If you take a modern worker back in time 100 years they won't be as productive as today, because they don't have access to the same tools, equipment, technology etc. That's why the people who make such investments deserve to reap the rewards of what they sowed. If we take all that and give it to workers who've done nothing but show up, then nobody has incentive to invest in further increasing productivity and productivity growth stagnates.

Really what you're saying is people are entitled to the fruits of other people's efforts just for virtue of being born, which is an incredibly entitled way of looking at things.
I'm someone that regularly releases original music and the small following that AI have genuinely likes the music, but it's an increasing hurdle to get new people just to listen, even when it's free, because of the absolute flood of phony music online. I don't resort to spending a lot of money on promo (which is the normally competitive move) because there is no guarantee that that money won't simply disappear without results, because these days platforms scam musicians as much as record labels do.

Not much online is more perilous and rife with scams than trying to make a name for yourself in the music industry. I think people should be given multiple opportunities to be heard by platforms, but now platforms don't do it unless artists pay them to be heard because of the shear volume of fraud accounts uploading fake and low effort music to streaming services.

TikTok shows everything from videos of people cooking eggs to people trimming cow hoofs.. Despite the company being built around music, very little choice is offered in terms of browsing music, and the platform regularly punishes unknown musicians by limiting their views and by imposing complex copyright control on original music to prevent it from being discovered. The majority of the music streamed on the platform funnels royalties for most of the videos on the platforms to already wealthy individuals, scammers, and to companies associated with music streaming.

I think that Independent musicians and labels are putting out music better than major industry now in most cases, yet because of that competition, major label and industry forces work to suppress indie music through lobbying platforms and government for control, and they also throw money around to make competition against them extra hard for musicians that aren't profitable. Tons of independent musicians are operating at a financial loss, and simply having a chance to be heard would make it worthwhile.

So yes, I think that everyone authentic should get as many chances to be heard, because it's an honor for platforms to get new authentic indie music from people that could upload it elsewhere instead, and platforms should be ritually meticulous in promoting all of the authentic independent artists on these platforms in support of music growth, because that's a far better prospect for long term success than just lining pockets of ancient and withering music label executives.

Amazing. Was just discussing this with a friend yesterday as a way to build loyalty. I have so many subscriptions I pay for but rarely if ever use (often forgotten). How refreshing it would be to receive an email to the effect "hey we notice your paying but not using product X. Here's some ideas of how you could use it, otherwise consider downgrading to free plan". May be at odds with short term revenue, but I'd then be a brand advocate.

I think he is being misrepresented in the song itself. People hearing it will think it's him. Whether or not that's called out in the marketing doesn't seem relevant.

As to harm, I don't know if he's being harmed or not -- but to my mind, that's not an important point. If, as I believe, it's wrong to produce works that show you doing and saying things you didn't do (without your permission), then it's wrong whether or not you were actually harmed by it. And what is harm, anyway? Being embarrassed is a kind of harm.
I think Twitter's distinction between "state-affiliated media", "government-funded media", and "publicly-funded media" is confusing and unnecessary. It would make more sense to use the broader category of "state-affiliated media" for all media affiliated to a state, whether it's because the state funds them directly, empowers them to fund themselves by coercive means, or simply appoints the leadership.

CBC would be state-affiliated even if they received no government funding because the government appoints their board (and can remove board members at any time). It was created by the state to serve the state's interests. It makes no sense to consider such organisations independent, regardless of how day-to-day editorial decisions are made.
A real 5 whys analysis probably should give a tree. Why did X happen? Because A, B, and C. Why did A happen? Because A1 and A2. And so on.
Trees gather up a ton (sometimes many tons) of carbon during their lives. When they die and begin to decompose, fungi and bacteria return most of that carbon back into the atmosphere as CO2.

If we could find a way to prevent that, then those trees could be used as machines to pull CO2 out of the air and store it, preventing it from being a greenhouse gas.
I mean JK herself literally is, the game definitely isn't. If you've stayed out of this dumpster fire enough to actually not know you're probably better off.

JK is a 70's-era radical feminist who's always been a little transphobic (that was the era, everyone was) but in this decade got sucked into the feminist-lesbian-to-TERF pipeline and dug her heels in when people started calling her out for it. Ever increasing levels of escalation on both sides later she's weirdly become the most prominent transphobe in the English speaking world and throws her weight behind hate groups like the LGB alliance. She even got a shoutout from Putin for it which is kinda funny.

This is no way whatsoever justifies being mean to someone playing a video game but it's not hard to see how we got here. We live in a world where absolutely horrible people are so completely insulated from the consequences of their actions that the people who are harmed by them are pretty much powerless to do anything and have nowhere productive to direct that anger and frustration. In a less civilized time a mob would have shown up to her house with pitchforks years before it got to this point.
Eh. Okay. Like I said, I've been out of direct contact with the *BSD world for a while, so take it less as mythologizing as not being up-to-date :)

"Look, France had to shut down their Nuclear plants in the hot summer of 2022 because the heat wave made the river's water levels unsustainable for cooling. Even discounting the safety concern here, a melting-down nuclear power plant doesn't produce energy either."

Thrice untrue:

- that's a few of their nuclear reactors (your sentence means : "all of them")

- I'm not sure how/why you segue from shut down to melt down.

- that's not a set in stone thing, there are other ways to design and/or cool reactors. Assuming rivers would be flowing was a mistake, and isn't a hard requirement.

That's the one item on your list I'm confident about. Based on your abysmal take on it, I'll discount your other points too: you're either untruthful or incompetent, on top of being hypocritical about censorship.
Did I miss the reference to Larry Tesler? Seems you would want to mention him as he worked for Engelbart at SRI, with Kay at PARC and later at Apple as the head of UI/UX/HCI for the Lisa.
Perhaps you're just taking Coinbase at their word? SEC's assessment appears to be that a business like Coinbase should register as a securities exchange.

In 2021, SEC served Coinbase a Wells Notice over that their "Lend" product (yield in USDC) was likely in violation of established case law, US v Howey and Reves v Ernst and Young. Coinbase discloses this on their own blog, under the hilarious title "The SEC has told us it wants to sue us over Lend. We don’t know why"[0]

Hmm from what I can find there's two things, FDIC doesn't handle credit unions but NCUA, and a credit union may need a minimum number of depositors for protection to apply. Maybe one can convince enough people to deposit $1 with a contract that they get a share of the gambling winnings in case there are any.
Fines should still have an impact; it’s basically a reallocation of budget, and any org presumably wants to maximize their slice of the pie to achieve whatever their goals are (personal or otherwise).

Ofc, the usual story is that the fines aren’t that high, and can be effectively treated as a cost of doing business, so they do little to nothing for incentives.
Politrucs don't change.
The SEC isn't being coy at all. The current SEC chair has said repeatedly ever since he was appointed that most crypto assets are clearly securities under the existing law, and therefore crypto exchanges must register as securities exchanges. Crypto industry execs would just prefer to be unregulated, and are pretending to be confused about what the SEC wants to trick you into taking their side.
Stack-wars or favored technologies is a good example.

Couldn't it happen more subtly, without having the code lying around for long? The model could be doing online-learning (ML term) and only then they discard code that they get send. This means your code could appear in other people's completions/suggestions, without it having to lie anywhere. It is basically learned into the model. The code could appear almost or even completely verbatim on someone else's machine, possibly working for a competitor. Even that it is your code would not be obvious, because MS could claim, that Copilot merely accidentally constructed the same code from other learned code.

Not sure that this is how the model works, but it is conceivable.
That's the thing -- it feels risky (at least for me, a lawyer) because being a federal judge is like the most coveted position in the world, and lawyers are incredibly serious people about maintaining their reputations and impartiality etc.

It’ll only set the economy back 2%.

Why are we trying to stop the plants from doing this exactly? The ever-impending apocalypse?
Yes, but not quite: This is actually about the California x%. When you pay sales tax, there is a state/county/municipal tax that gets paid to the state, the county and the municipality where the customer is located. Municipal or county taxes may be zero or even, in rare occasions negative.¹

Then, the state portion has a fraction that gets allocated to a municipality (thanks to Prop 13, a lot of local funding has been shifted to getting granted from the state), which is generally going to be the municipality where the business is located.

These distinctions generally only come up for online transactions and some high-cost durable goods like automobiles (which is why there’s no benefit to buying your car in a different county—you’ll still pay the same tax).

⸻

1. Thanks to a prop 13 lawsuit, for a time in the 90s, the county tax (or was it city? I don’t remember now) for San Diego was actually -0.5% because it was judged that the county (city?) had illegally raised taxes and this was the method by which the judge determined that the taxes would be rebated.

> 1 hour of a gas-powered leaf blower was the equivalent of taking a Camry from LA to Denver

Maybe in terms of particulate pollution, but in terms of CO2 that's absolutely unimaginable.
> Even though efficiency has improved, in 2016 California reported that just 1 hour of a gas-powered leaf blower was the equivalent of taking a Camry from LA to Denver.

That sounds like nonsense.

(FWIW I support banning gas-powered leaf blowers. But your claim is still bogus.)
It's interesting to see the different views around it. I tend to agree that we tend to exclusively use operators to make Kubernetes speak the same language as our business. It's sort of like object-oriented deployments...can make some pretty power abstractions.

Maybe. There's a lot of guessing about what teachers are doing in this thread; I'd be interested in a survey of what they're actually doing.

> For everyone without hearing problems, we need them to try.

Maybe. The UK has been going hard on phonics and while scores went way up for the next couple years, the effects on the years afterwards were real bad.
I have to repost https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28491963 again:

My main problem with delphi: it is "too proprietary". It was a very productive IDE in the 90's or early 2000's but lost their path and never recovered.

Some new versions broke compatibility with previous version's components. There was the case where you paid a good amount of money on some proprietary components and they simply wouldn't work in the next version: you were imprisoned in an obsolete IDE. By not being multi-platform (I heard it improved lately) you could only use it with/for win32 so it lost servers, embedded, cloud and mobile. By not being open-source nobody could improve it.

Then it had to compete with "native tools". Whoever develops for windows wouldn't quit ms' tools to use it, whoever develops for mac wouldn't quit apple's tools to use it, whoever develops for android wouldn't quit google's tools to use it, whoever develops for linux was mostly ignored after kylix.

Note that I didn't even mentioned price and license.

They improved it later, I heard. But seems more like the old case of too little too late. Most successful programming languages today are open source and multi-platform. Delphi was dependent on win32 for too long and it still is "too proprietary". You do the world a favor by porting your project to lazarus.

There's also the fact that pretty much every useful technology from WW2 ended up being made by dominant industry in the US, because everyone else was rubble.

At the Apollo program's peak the US was also putting more than 4% of the total US budget toward the program. If the EU put more than 4% of it's total budget toward ESA I'm sure they could do something similar.

But that's not the point. The point of Falcon 9 was to reduce the price of getting to space. That was purportedly the promise of Ariane 6 but now there has simply been goal post moving to "it's to maintain independent access to space".

"just" is doing a lot of work there. It's a pretty serious engineering effort to move rocks around the solar system and unless you have unlimited-energy future tech, you're probably stuck with the current paradigm of nudging things slightly to take advantage of convoluted gravity assists and small time windows to move things about. It'd be a very slow and predictable weapon that we already watch for.
