The public key is like a math answer that is easy to compute if you have the whole equation, but really hard if you only have the answer.

Kind of like "what are the divisors of 93036637?"

You can figure it out, but it requires testing lots of numbers (a brute force apporoach) to figure out that it's only 9391 and 9907.

Say Adam sends the public key of 93036637 to Bob. (Note that the public key was chosen to be the product of two primes).

Bob chooses a new prime number - say 8867 - and multiplies it in there, too, and the sends it back to Adam.

Now we have 93036637 x 8867 => 824955860279

When Adam gets that public key back, he can divide out one of the original two prime numbers (824955860279 ÷ 9907 => 83,269,997) and then send it back to Bob.

Bob KNOWS that his secret key was 8867, so he divides that back out to get the shared secret: 9391 (the other half of the original public key).

Even though Eve listened to every single number being transmitted:

Adam: "93,036,637"

Bob: "copy. 824,955,860,279"

Adam: "copy. 83,269,997"

Only Adam and Bob can know the three prime factors of 8867, 9391, and 9907 without doing brute force division.

Brute force division is easy for prime numbers less than 10k, but a sender can choose a prime number that's long enough to satisfy their privacy needs, based on their estimate of Eve's resources.

So the bottom line is that the public key is easy to compute if you have the inputs, but incredibly time consuming (brute force) if you don't.
Same experience here. After finally treating it (current blood pressure - 96 / 56) my number of headaches of any sort has declined dramatically. It used to be just a normal event that I would lose a day+ a week to monster headaches, where now I have close to none.

One strange thing: In the past I'd get auras and then not long after an enormous headache. I still occasionally get auras...but then it just resolves and the day goes on normally. Very strange.
Just guessing here: I don't think it's going to be 100%. Sometimes it's not 100% even between versions of the same lib (breaking changes, major versions).

If it's good enough people will start using it and the old version will just fail into obsolescence.
It was a heavily used term in early WoW pvp.
Try kagi.com. I'm a very happy customer myself.
Aren‘t you losing information in the parts that aren‘t perfectly straight? Yes, you can stretch those to recreate the original layout, but that would come at the cost of resolution in the interpolated sections of the page. Granted, not a problem for most books, but probably a reason prople are still looking for mechanical solutions to the problem.
We have no visibility into either contract at the center of this case. I’m holding off judgement until we understand Qualcomm’s architecture license, and the assignment clause in Nuvia's. I will only say that suing a 10% customer is, generally speaking, a terrible idea.
Tell HN: Stripe Destroyed Our Business after 7 months of building our product
We have created our Stripe account on Feb 2023, and for past 7 months we have been building our product, integrating Stripe, and working on going live by getting clients.

Our website is (https://onclickcheckout.com/) and we are Stripe Connect marketplace account where we advertise for other Stripe accounts and get them clients without any upfront fees. We only charge when their customers pay them and we charge via application fee feature of Stripe Connect.

We use Stripe Standard Connect where if you have existing Stripe account you can work with us to get new clients

Few days ago, after integrating CRMs, 7 months of intense work on building our advertising platform and getting 5 clients (5 connected accounts) we finally went live and it was successful in terms of business where our tech brought 30k worth of sales in couple days, all that work finally paid off and I could finally pay our team as none have been paid yet

and today Stripe closed our account froze our funds and marked our account "fraudulent" and saying "unauthorized payments" and sent us appeal form which all you can do is upload company formation documents which we did and they automatically denied it

I need everyone to know the real face of Stripe, now if this issue cannot be resolved after all the work done, I need to find a way to pay our team or shut down the company and lose all my team

The image was probably made in photoshop. It's 2023 and some programs still can't render decent RTL unicode.
Ha, I used to work inside this building in 2010.
Doesn't, you mean?

Elements inside a canvas can't be easily reflowed around each other the way you can with divs and blocks and flex and grid etc. You basically have to reinvent the responsive UI layer that CSS has been slowly improving over the last decade or two.

Is that what you were asking, or did I misunderstand?
If you are able to do evil and profit then that is a failure in law and not capitalism.
I would definitely want to see async totally overhauled. Also it would be great if major components of the standard library were all version 1.

And if I want to risk going too far, I'd also advocate for refactoring the type system to be slightly less generic in favor of chasing faster compile times.

Also, ideally the lead designer of SafeLang2.0 would be much more heavy on engineering experience than PL theory. Rust made a lot of tradeoffs that were beautiful in PL theory but are annoying to use on a day to day basis.

I honestly think rust is equal parts amazing ideas and mediocre ideas, and I think a slighky less ambitious language would still be almost as safe (world class compared to any other language) but 10x more fun to use.
Seriously disappointing. I was expecting that it would not produce total gibberish. It acts like it's a Markov chain, and only considers the last 1-2 words. Identical to the currently-shipping thing that we've had for the past however-many years.
It's a loss for both parties, no?
To save you some time the main point of the video is - market drives prices down, because people want cheaper things and buy them more frequently, because it's easier to target people and cheaper to outsource production. And most people really don't care about the quality part that much.

Regarding personal consumption I'd use Total Cost of Ownership equation. Need a screwdriver 3 times a year - no need to buy something very good. Need a keyboard for you computer and you're a programmer - buy the best you can, because your hands are irreplaceable. But you don't need a fancy laptop stand - a box and couple of books can do the thing (if you don't mind the ugly desk). With the money saved you can always just invest them and get them working or spend them on something more meaningful like health, socializing or whatever you like.
Agreed. I've introduced an internal, selfs-signed CA using Vault, ansible and Jenkins for my personal infrastructure. Issues certs via pipeline job and restarts / reloads affected target services if needed.

I might do a writeup soon on this, it's not even that complicated.
To clarify, I like him because he doesn't have a TV _and_ he doesn't care about pop culture. I don't either, so I don't have a specific opinion on The Big Bang Theory.
Show HN: Boomer Death Watch
After Jimmy Buffett died I wondered how many Baby Boomer icons* were left. Thanks to WikiData we can try to find out, but that query is hella slow (there are a lot). What's fast, however, is finding everyone who has died recently.

*Anyone with an English Wikipedia page. Sorry Dennis Austin.
I would do the same.

Why?

Because I have a chronic issue and without mass data analysis no one will solve my issue.

You can dislike him but he faces the consequences and it's not necessary his job to appeal to everyone.
I don't know what ThinkPad you had, but I have had ThinkPads for more than 12 years, working daily, had let them fall on the ground (had to change screen twice), and they still work. There are companies that buy ThinkPads from banks, big companies, after 4 years of use, and they re-sell them and they work for another 10 or more years. Your experience is very weird.

DevMaster's Game and Graphics Engines Database
Exactly! I, up until recently, have been happy to pay Unity six figures for enterprise support for exactly this reason.

I even have engine source, and guess what, it’s wildly complicated. My team doesn’t remotely have the bandwidth to do anything meaningful with it even if we had the right to make modifications.

The argument for open source always neglects this reality. Just because I could change something doesn’t mean I have the economic reality to actually change it.
Unlike PayPal though, you can't just close your account and hop to stripe instead. Once you develop a game you're stuck with that engine until you redevelop the game. Moving engines is not easy simple or fast.

It's like if I owned an old version of Photoshop and Adobe contacted me to say that because the jpg I produced blew up on Twitter I owe them $1000. I can't retroactively take the picture down and recreate it in gimp and I shouldn't have to. Most alternative products to unity simply do a hand wave to old products. "If your game was made in engine 2.0 you have this pricing structure, but engine 3.0 users have a different one"
Well normally when you quote something, you source what is quoted.
It's not up to the reader to track down sources.

Thanks for the link.
Nonograms are not bad but I wouldn’t consider them either crosswords or puzzles. There’s a cap on how much skill is needed to solve one (of a reasonable size) based on the need to make a solvable piece of art.

(Nonograms in general - without the need for a pictoral reward - might well be NP hard or even able to encrypt information. I’m not at all sure.)
I mean, its the same idea as custom path config in TypeScript
The literature is not particularly confident on the benefits of breathwork. A recent meta study found limited positive evidence. They conclude it can probably help some people, but the mechanism is unclear (and I read that as could be placebo). At least it's pretty safe. There's a lot of hype and the few studies that exist are potentially biased.

Saying that food with a high glycemic index is simply “not good food” shows a lack of understanding regarding what the glycemic index indicates and what constitutes “good food”.

There’s food with a high glycemic index that is most certainly not “bad food” (like fruit), and there’s food with a low glycemic index that definitely could be by what I assume is your criteria (like butter).

Also the statement “cereals have a high glycemic index” isn’t even true, since some of them do (like corn flakes), while some of them don’t (oatmeal, which is close to oranges).
Stocks crash on bad earnings reports because the future attractiveness of the stock has diminished. This reduces the likelihood that a future investor will buy your hot potato above the unit price they bought in.

Stocks are fundamentally divorced from economic reality EXCEPT when a company ceases trading and several other rare administrative actions.

Predicting future hype is all that matters. Or time spent fractionally invested in all broader casino hype trains, e.g. VTI
To clarify, WebAssembly specs are made by the WebAssembly W3C community group here:

https://www.w3.org/community/webassembly/

Its true that many of those companies are also members of the Bytecode Alliance. But the W3C community group is where actual specs and standardization happen. That's where votes occur, and that's the Github organization in which they are published, and so forth.
I’m actually glad the Move and Leak didn’t get in. They both have fairly niche usecases but they’d have to be spattered all over basically all rust code.
Policy won't change unless the two party gridlock does. Even when the Dems take power (like now), nothing really happens. It's just lip service at best.
That’s bonkers
Public key cryptography breaks a key into two parts: the public key and the private key. A message is encrypted with the public key, but can only be decrypted with the private key, not with the public key.

You publish the public key to the world: "hey everyone, here is my public key; write me!". People use the public key to write you secret messages, which only your private key can decode, and that key is your guarded secret.

That message someone sends to you can be a symmetric key, which you then use after that to communicate with that someone (for a while, until you again agree on a different key).
Charged yes, literally executed on the street without trial, no.

There is absolutely no universe where someone who surrenders to the cops should be shot 50 times. I don't care if they're Jeffrey Dahmer, I don't care if they just moments before murdered someone in cold blood.

Forget ethics or morals, it's a moral hazard. If the cops are just going to shoot you dead you have no incentive to stop and have every right to defend yourself against them doing so. The only way to make surrendering to the cops a feasible action is if they always stand down the instant you do.
Immunotherapy is not a silver bullet, and it can take years before any positive improvement is noticed. There's a not insignificant time sink involved with going to the doctor twice a week. And the immunity doesn't last forever.
Tiddlywiki makes use of a browser and in that regard it is platform independent, right?
> First off, you can’t OSS consoles.

All those SDL games already released on consoles and Godot soon gaining support via W4 beg to differ.

Yes, it's pointlessly hard and annoying because of platform stewards and all the hoops they make you jump through, but it's certainly not impossible nor infeasible.
I just finished the first 11 challenges, including detecting ECB ciphers.

Thank you for sharing these! They are very fun and interesting challenges.
Kinda disappointed that all five questions just boiled down to the size of structs / ints in memory. There's way more interesting and arcane gotchas in C!
but GIMP can, score one for open source!
This came up a while back here; the idea is that you would burn the iron powder, then re-generate the iron oxide waste with electrolysis preferably using renewable energy. So iron becomes an energy transport and storage mechanism instead of a single-use fuel.

Seems like it would be more efficient to use the renewable energy directly or failing that, use the electrolysis to create hydrogen and burn that, but I guess that comes down to how efficient the regeneration process is and cost of transport.

What sort of questions? How would you know what to ask it, unless maybe you have another source for the book?

Curiously, when I ask GPT-4 about some well-known but under-copyright book, it says it can't answer because of the copyright. For well-known books out of copyright such as Alice in Wonderland, it can recite passages but tends to get lost and start reciting another section or book at some point. Would be real frustrating to use as a substitute.

Love the picture of the cereal aisle, with all those colorful graphics.

My favorite was the bidirectional boxes in Mexico, after being forced to add warning labels on the front:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37245593

> Companies like Coca-Cola and Kraft Heinz have begun designing their products so that their packages don’t have a true front or back, but rather two nearly identical labels — except for the fact that only one side has the required warning. As a result, supermarket clerks often place the products with the warning facing inward, effectively hiding it.
In exchange to access the sdk and hardware. OSS Godot doesn’t have access. Only their newer for-profit arm does, so now… not OSS?
> with any historical figure

Don't you mean "with a fictional representation of a historical figure"?
I am aware, but there’s not really a better term for “laptop that’s analogous to a MacBook Air but not made by Apple”. There’s “thin and light” I suppose but that tends to include models that either cut corners on various aspects (build quality or battery life usually) or lean more towards traditional laptops with chunkier dimensions and weight. For that reason I think it was inevitable that the word became genericized.
For me I use neither, I actually picked wxWidgets after all those desktop GUI troubles over the years, not ideal, but it's the best I found for myself.
> ... then what's the gain to ad business?

You're not thinking like an ad business exec if you have to ask this question.
It’s weird you mention fragmentation and regulation as the culprits when it’s pretty obviously consolidation (to Epic and Cerner) that led to this and it’s regulation (like 21st Century Cures Act) that’s actually undoing it… by requiring that consolidated players can’t disrupt fragmentation efforts (via FHIR).
this is a great lawsuit! if you read the complaint, they catch OpenAI dead-to-rights .. asking about plot details with names from the books, asking to write a paragraph in the style of the author in that book, and a diversity of authors that shows social awareness.. great support for this from California
Is it really meme? There is often opinion that developer and business friendly process is more important than user experience and energy resources.

I do not think that there is single narrative.
I agree, and would go even further: that all major versions of languages should be renamed.

Like pearl and parrot, as I understand it.

It completely avoids the chance that "python" will become ambiguous regarding which set of rules it refers to: version 2 or version 3.

And the downside is minimal, because anyone can find the most current name online.
Asking earnestly: what makes this and not the police's own reports "classic lawering"? A value-neutral outlook would require us to consider both equally.

(And note: we don't actually know anything besides (1). (2) is a claim by the police, and (3) is the product of a pseudoscientific ballistics analysis by the same. Accepting them as fact goes well beyond the neutral viewpoint.)
I think it is. I'm lactose intolerant, and somebody posted in one of the LI forums this morning asking about acarbose. I had never heard of it until today, and now it has also appeared on HN.
And program runs, and different times the same process execute them. Those two are what separate IB from UB on the original interpretation, from the last century.

But nowadays UB is something much more complex and dangerous than "I can't ever know the results of this".
THAT will fix it! /s
Except the storage choices don't make sense. Storage is extremely cheap right now, the base should be at least 512GB, yet we have to pay premium to get a reasonable amount of space.
What do you do research in?
Are standard cheerios really that unhealthy? They’re easy - 3 cups (two servings) with some almond milk is only 315 calories and they’re packed with fortified vitamins. Three cups is also a lot.

It’s a pretty convenient food.

Sure the super sugary ones aren’t great for you, but generally I like cereals and they’re better than a lot of other common breakfast options (pastries).

Energy from burning iron is about tenth of energy from burning gasoline. Lithium ion batteries are also a tenth of gasoline, and they are reusable. It is also a lot easier to distribute energy as electricity than iron dust. It takes energy to refine iron or to turn iron oxide back into iron, which would be less efficient than using electricity directly.

Finally, manufactured fuels like hydrogen or ammonia should do the job for places like ships that can’t use electricity.
I'm not a lawyer, I wish it's as simple as "it's just LGPL", it's not.

Otherwise Qt has already conquered the desktop GUI world, it did not for a reason: the license mess.
'app sandboxing' is one part, of a small part, of a subsection of a general thread model, why would you pick that when you talk about 'secure'? And LOL no, Linux has SELinux, apparmor, firejail, flatpak, snap, docker, lxc, and various hypervisors for 'app sandboxing', Linux does not have 'basically none', it has arguably to many.

That article does not provide much evidence to support the police view of the situation.

> According to the report, more than "five particles characteristic of GSR" were found when using a "scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) and analyzed for elemental composition and particle morphology"

> ...

> According to the DeKalb County Medical Examiner's report, Teran had at least 57 gunshot wounds in their body, including the hands, torso, legs and head.

> ...

> While the Atlanta Police Department released body camera footage that shows audio of the shootout, there is no footage that shows the actual incident, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

I don't know anything about GSR testing, but 5 particles seems low for someone firing a weapon. With 57 shots that hit him it seems reasonable that significant GSR would be present even if he did not fire a weapon. I can't find any sources to indicate typical particle counts for firing a weapon.

I have a hard time imagining a situation where police have the opportunity to shoot (and hit) 57 times without resolving the threat.

I also cannot think of a good reason for the police to not have their cameras on when approaching the protesters. The police had the opportunity to ensure that there was enough clarity and evidence to make an educated decision, but they chose not to.
"regulations slow innovation" is not a valid reason to ignore any regulation one finds annoying.

That said, my problem isn't that he broke the rules. My problem is that, when confronted about having broken the rules, he lied about it then retreated into "why don't you believe the mission bro?" As if his solution is the only possible solution to the problem.

He's full of himself, doesn't care about rules, and gaslights those that criticize him. His messianic do-gooder-ism a bullshit marketing cover for him doing what he wants.
Your book was published somewhere mid-2021, right?
Exactly, the best part of a problem is the solution and its positive impact. Also, a viable solution to a problem is to go around it/avoid it. Since a puzzle (to me) has no tangible impact/benefit the best solution is to simply go around it/avoid it … which apparently misses the point!
The android version of Katana looks and functions a bit better. I don't know if the devs are just less informed or just care less for iOS but, having made the switch recently, it's a pretty drastic difference.
