> are you extending this to the usage of yubikey-agent and ssh-tpm-agent as well?

No, as they never get loaded into the ssh binary and are external programs communicating over an interface.

Consider reading over the recent qualys vulnerability report on how messy this dloading of pkcs11 actually is.

https://www.qualys.com/2023/07/19/cve-2023-38408/rce-openssh...

>both variants, whether it's using a PKCS11 provider using a standardized interface, or using a completely custom SSH agent, will need to deal with secret material.

`ssh-tpm-agent` is not dealing with secret material. That is delegated to the TPM and we are only in the business of telling the TPM to sign stuff for us. Yubikey-agent does create a private key on the machine before inserting it into the yubikey.

I would not call these two things equal and there are a difference to what the potential impact is.

>although I'm no expert on the inner workings of SSH, I'd expect there to not be much difference between having the OpenSSH agent interface with ykcs11 (which is also open source and can be reviewed) and using an alternative agent with piv capabilities that was found on github.

There is a separation of concerns here though.

Would be cool to “do it right” and have a proper window manager for Linux like this rather than “just” a skin (I really don’t want to diminish the ton of work sunk into this). So you get the last details about windowing behavior and animations right, and achieving much more in terms of start menu, task bar behavior and so on.

To be less niche and reach even more nostalgic users it could be something like a RetroWM with modes for like Windows 95, XP, maybe even Mac OS 9.

I love Emacs (it was my main editor in the last 20 years) but i can't justify anymore to use it due to lack of modern feature, ease of use and maintenance of the .emacs files.

Do you really think no one has thought of this?
That's absolutely untrue, at least in policy debate, which I participated in during high school.

There are 5 of what are called "stock issues" that are the basis for judging a round, and the affirmative side must win all of them to take the round. The negative side need only win one.

One of those stock issues is "topicality." The affirmative wins topicality as an issue by affirming the resolution. The negative is not so bound. This leads to an absolutely classical negative strategy called the "counter-plan." Essentially, what this is is a strategy where, rather than the negative simply saying "nuh uh" to the affirmative's points, they put forth their own plan and argue that it is better than the affirmative's plan.

There is some thought that the negative counterplan must explicitly be non-topical, i.e. not advocate for the resolution. So, for instance, the the resolution might be something like "Resolved: That the United States government should reduce worldwide pollution through its trade and/or aid policies," which was actually the 1992-1993 high school policy debate resolution. The negative could argue that the US should reduce worldwide pollution by means other than trade and/or aid policy, or that the US should do something completely unrelated to pollution reduction, because that action would create bigger benefits than the affirmative plan.

For this strategy to work, it's best if the counterplan and the affirmative plan are mutually exclusive, so it's a common strategy to simply hijack the affirmative plan's funding plank to make it all work.

Absolutely none of this is any sort of bad faith tactic. An affirmative team must always be prepared to argue a comparative advantage case. As I said, this is completely bog-standard, classical policy debate strategy, and in no way constitutes bad faith. But, yet, because the negative has no duty to be topical (and, indeed, could possibly be more convincing if they are explicitly non-topical), they might spend half their time talking about something not mentioned at all in the resolution.

> Milton Keynes tried separating pedestrians and cyclists, it is mostly considered a failure

That's not what I was suggesting, I was suggesting restructuring cities so that pedestrians and cyclist have their own road network accessible to residential streets and businesses. This road network would complement artery/busy car roads as opposed to being a sidewalk next to them.

Where I am, cycling on the sidewalk is prohibited but i see people use it all the time, even where is a bike lane because cars don't take enough care, especially if you wear a helmet. There are many "memorial" roadside spots where cyclists and pedestrians were killed by cars. Walking with someone is also hard because even smaller busy roads have loud cars that make it harder to talk. But the one time my family lived close to a walking/biking trail, everyone started taking routine recreational walks (weather permitting)

Most of the reasons you mentioned are easily solvable except the first one, it would indeed require businesses placing signages and retargeting to include foot traffic. But if you think about it, if these complementary roads are parallel to arterial car roads, food trucks and street vendors will flock there. I also see people walking their dogs next to unpleasant busy car roads when they really prefer the type of roads i spoke about, but also dog parks and other recreational human friendly spot could be exclusive to these roads. Milton keynes seems to have had an implementation/planning problem.

> Tunnels are quite dangerous, having cars at high speed for long distances is extra dangerous. Having them leave the tunnel is either a highway junction or a stroad. There is one in Boston though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5pPKfzzL54

Freeways already have cars at high speeds for long distances. What I am proposing isn't making the tunnels very fast, just slightly faster than existing roads but also actually faster because less pedestrians and stopping. A 30mph road might become 45mph not 60mph. The right lane would be slow enough to take a ramp to/from parking lots.

I was also suggesting the tunnels for artery roads, not huge highways. And unlike boston, there would be no addding lanes, above ground would be converted to pedestrian roads and/or metrorail where it makes sense. This can be done one road section at a time, roads would dip into a tunnel and then dip out. Sidewalks would be replaces with space for offramping. Places with underground parking fit even better. Another huge advantage of this is that there could be much more grass/soil/greens above ground making the city cooler and more flood resilient. Boston replaced a highway but used that to add more lanes. They had their railway add more stations according to that video but if they went my that would be done to begin with above ground where there are cars now
I'll believe it when I see reproducible results, not before. Anything less is unscientific.
I think the article has it backwards and provides bad intuition. It is not input that makes functions form a vector space, it is the output. Functions from any set X to a field F can form a vector space, even if X is unordered.

I know, I know, "bounties" are a fraught concept. Some people find "snitching" odious. But this is a tantalizing use case. All the author of this piece got out of their legwork was another article, but it also yielded some money for the federal government:

> Two days after I emailed Finwall in April inquiring about the Xie Foundation’s purchase of the house, the foundation filed records with the California attorney general’s office, stating that it had “discovered a self-dealing event” and including a federal tax return with the word “amended” handwritten at the top. In his email to ProPublica, Finwall said that, after amending its returns, the foundation “paid some excise taxes related to Mr. Xie’s stay at the property.”

Maybe we can give 1% of the recovered tax to forensic accountant bounty hunters willing to vet the appropriate nonprofit filings. As is, the IRS seems under-resourced for this kind of work, and there's no real incentive for anybody else to do it unless they're a journalist -- and you can only write this kind of story so many times. Maybe each submitted case costs $100 or some other fee sufficient to deter spammers. I strongly suspect there's a class of feisty semi-retired accountants who'd be happy to spend some of their golden years on this kind of thing. If we're worried about small nonprofits, we can set a minimum claimed deduction that's subject to a bounty.

It’s perhaps difficult to find the flaw in this argument until you note that society isn’t 50/50 capitalists and workers. Pull on that thread a bit and combine it with the fact that neither the government nor bankers (whether central or Main Street) sit magically outside society and it starts to become pretty obvious what’s going on here. This is garden variety propaganda masquerading as rational think-piece.

I genuinely can't work out what part of this video you think is US-specific. America is far from the only country in the world that has municipality logos on infrastructure, house numbers, or OSM coverage.

There's certainly regions of the world where doing this would be much more challenging (e.g., Central Africa, China, rural India), but the stuff he covered in the video is going to be extremely helpful in the vast majority of cases.

If you follow that rabbit hole you find that the Nazis had this whole batshit crazy alternative science. It was sort of like Lysenkoism in spirit (an ideologically conforming “alternative truth”) but zanier and wilder. Think hollow Earth and mystical traits of the Aryan race and such.

I heard a historian once describe the SS as “what you would get if you made the Church of Scientology a branch of the military.” The Nazi party was kind of unique in that it was more of a cult with a political party than a simple political party in the classical sense.

I speculate that this is why the Nazis are such a symbol of evil in spite of Stalin having a similar body count. It’s the same reason the Manson murders are creepier than your average serial killing or shoot ‘em up. The culty stuff gives it this extra layer of dark edginess. Stalin just wasn’t as edgelord.

Nazi mysticism and volkisch stuff lives on in the New Age and other areas which is why flipping people in those worlds to Q and other thinly veiled fascist cults was so easy. There’s already a ton of esoteric fascist memes floating around that world.

> A lot of the time when I crave sweet things its not for the sweet taste itself that I’m after, but for the sugar itself

FWIW, one of the biggest obstacles to adoption of RPC components in our C++ codebase at work (not FB/Meta) is clean integration with our preexisting Folly + libevent scheduler. IMO, this has become a common theme across most C++ libraries that involve async IO. Rust has the same problem to a lesser extent. I think it's going to become a fundamental problem in all languages that don't have a strong opinion on, or built-in, async and schedulers.
This is a relay for Tor users to be able to access Tor (when normal guard relays (first hop in a Tor circuit) are blocked), using domain fronting and webrtc.

The text is written quite confusingly, at least the German translation it served me by default. I was wondering how this could circumvent censorship, as the target needs to also support webrtc so there's no way to access any http(s) website via this in-browser proxy, this still requires another server to accept the webrtc connection and forward your traffic, but the point (which the article doesn't mention) is to be able to connect to this other server indirectly.

It even goes so far as to claim that you don't need any software to visit censored websites:

> Im Gegensatz zu VPNs musst du keine separate Anwendung installieren, um dich mit einem Snowflake-Proxy zu verbinden und die Zensur zu umgehen.

Except you do. Without Tor client, this snowflake proxy is useless. Clicking through to the technical details (link marked with a warning "this content is in English"):

> 1. User in the filtered region wishes to access the free and open internet. They open Tor Browser, selecting snowflake as the Pluggable Transport.

The article said "contrary to VPNs, you don't need to install separate software to circumvent censorship" and the technical overview says the literal opposite: you need to install a Tor client to make use of a snowflake proxy.

According to my father, "rhubarb" is what the extras say in crowd scenes in TV and film. They mumble, "rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb" and it gives the impression of muted, indistinct background conversations.

By the same token, the choral singer who forgets the lyrics during a performance can sing "watermelon, watermelon" until she gets to a place where she recalls the words. The philosophy is that, as long as you get a convincing vowel in there, people will believe anything you sing.
What kind of tests are sufficient?
The problem really is overconsumption of glucose which creates overproduction of insulin which over time (years) make you fat (overweight or obese), insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes is basically a state of elevated levels of glucose and insulin in your body which fucks up your metabolism.

So addiction to sugar is bad mostly because it causes overconsumption of glucose (sugar is 50% glucose, 50% fructose).

And almost everything you buy in grocery store is loaded with sugar: coke, red bull, cereal, all the sweets, cakes, pastries even things like yogurt or ketchup.

So in theory if if replaced all the sugar in all the products with this thing and it didn't have harmful effects on the body by itself, then we would greatly reduce the consumption of glucose so it stands to reason we would greatly reduce diabetes.

You can still get too much glucose by over consuming carbs (bread, pasta, pizza, rice, tomato, anything with flower) but it's much harder to eat 5 pizzas than to drink 5 liters of coke loaded with sugar.
Note that you shifted the argument to "truth" while the above comment you replied simply talked about "beliefs". Not everything in life can be mathematically proven, after all (and very few people practice professional philisopical rigor to begin with, so we need to lower the assumptions here).

The goal here isn't to find truth, because sometimes the truth doesn't exist. It's to understand and be ready to counter-argue conflicting stances when necessary. Knowing what your opponent will say lets you better strengthen your own argument.
Mouth taping is not very popular outside some kinky circles.
I recently saw a documentary on the science teams that published the first image of a black hole. A lot of due diligence went into confirming their approach was sound, as getting it wrong would destroy their reputation.

In this case, the challenge is that these are relatively unknown scientists, from a relatively unknown lab. Of course their findings can be genuine, but we need to wait until it has been replicated.

One red flag is that he claimed he had a sample, but nobody could test it. If it is a room temperature, or close to room temperature super conductor, not a lot of equipment is needed. You just need a strong magnet to confirm the Meisnner effect. You can do this with off the shelf neodymium magnets. I have some on my fridge.

Given the historical importance of confirming the super conductivity at room temperature, I am sure you could obtain such magnets from an university department. Personally I would happily pay for an Uber to collect them.
I teach my daughter science is just magic we understand. Once we understand something it becomes ordinary, but the trick is to hold onto the wonder.
It is. The main advantage that the negative has is that they only need to win 1 of what are called the 5 "stock issues" in order to win a policy debate round. Furthermore, the negative can also run something called a "counter-plan," which I talked about in another comment. That's basically something structured a bit like the affirmative plan, but which (typically) does not affirm the resolution. That's frequently enough to put the affirmative off balance, because the negative has essentially free reign to argue for anything outside of the resolution.
It seems to be based loosely on this preprint from 2018:

The authors of the patent are also not physicists, chemists, or materials-scientists, with no prior publications related to superconductors. This just came out of thin air.

If anything, this highlights everything that's wrong with the US patent system. (you don't need to have a working prototype to get it patented, and the patent examiner doesn't need to understand anything about the mechanism you're proposing.)
I’m not sure what the proper name is for this idea, but I consider ageing to be a trade-off between cell-regeneration, which maintains youthfulness, and mutation-limitation, which reduces the chances of cancer. That is to say, if you “aged less”, you would get cancer more/sooner. Everything else, like the balance of chemicals in the body, I assume would be downstream of that.
