Edit: Oh, heh. I mis-read your statement. Regardless, I'll keep my original comment below. Do with it what you will.

1) 6-figures is middle-of-the-road when it comes to meeting living expenses in SV. You will never own an urban house (and will likely not own a suburban house) on that salary in the area.

2) Have you, like, ever ridden in a big bus before? They're pretty nausea-inducing and tend to get stuck in the same traffic that every other ground vehicle gets stuck in. Their only advantages are traffic reduction and (maybe, if you can fight the nausea) the ability to catch up on email during your commute in.

3) I did the commute-down-the-peninsula thing for a couple of years. It was also pretty miserable and not very cheap (but far cheaper than owning, parking, and maintaining a car). I can't argue that Caltrain is worse than these buses, but I can argue that they're both pretty miserable.
No one except you can tell if you're actually a transsexual or not. But, from what you've said here it doesn't really sound like you are.

If you're happy as a male, you don't suffer from gender dysphoria and you don't have a strong urge to cross dress and don't think in your head "Im a girl" then you're probably not trans unless you've done a superhuman effort in repressing it.

It would never happen, people would steal/share the data. Remember researchers (specifically in academia) are typically short on cash, and will cut corners whenever possible. The good ones (a majority in my experience) won't cut corners when it comes to the integrity of their data though.
I don't think this is necessary. I never wrote a conditional complicated enough to make me even think about getting down to K maps and I believe such a thing would be actually a smell and better be refactored as a whole. Knowing some boolean algebra is nice, though
No, but they discovered it, and they can get better at it.
This is really hilarious.
"RSA, now a subsidiary of computer storage giant EMC Corp, urged customers to stop using the NSA formula after the Snowden disclosures revealed its weakness." - Just shake my head at this. As news is revealed that all these companies were complicit, they cry foul and "warn" users? RSA deserves to lose all international customers who refuse to buy their products because of hidden backdoors.
In case you didn't know, EMC bought RSA in 2006. Shutting down RSA just means re-branding all the products as something else.
You could also do without a mobile phone, but most people prefer not to, and the society offers those that chose that option a legal way of satisfying their desires.
Montrose resident here. I don't have anyone denigrating me, but I wouldn't mind helping out folks in the Third Ward. Do you volunteer with any particular group or charity?
By "size exploding" do you mean "reducing the number of units"? Because then I might agree.

Really, though, allowing them to put up a high rise where there are currently single family homes reduces the overall pressure everywhere.

Of course, SF will never subsidize empty lot development, even if there were any empty lots to build on; the right to build in SF is far higher than in any other US city - double that of (as of 2007) Los Angeles or New York:

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2007/11/a-tale-o...

I don't know what you mean by "affordable housing practices", but the reality of it is building lots of housing units. You can subsidize the poor, but that will just push out those just rich enough not to qualify for the subsidies; it's a supply/demand problem, and the only solution is more supply or less demand.

I'd agree the entire metro could benefit.
Improper use of antibiotics kills thousands, harms millions every year, CDC says
I don't think people deserve to be displaced from their homes in massive numbers.

I don't think today's action will magically end the displacement, but I think people should have some compassion and show several orders of magnitude more concern for groups like the elderly on fixed income and the working poor facing Ellis Act evictions than for a group of techies who will be OK even after a disrupted commute. The issues being raised here are important, and I think it's more important to identify real solutions to the problems rather than focus on evading blame.

This is not to say it's either/or but I do want a world where the concerns about displacement and mass evictions are prioritized and addressed far more concern and resources than the kinds of 0th and 1st world problems that googlers (as a group - many of us have real world problems as well, of course) have.

The current government is conservative, so probably not. They've shown a distinct lack of interest in practical solutions and instead have stuck very solidly with their "ideals".
Seems like their customers now have an excellent case for commercial fraud against RSA.
"a soft target. There is essentially zero chance of reprisal or consequence."

Yes, because people are looking for hard targets. Cops don't carry guns because if they confront someone they want the odds to be "even steven". The US doesn't use drones and bombers and machine guns in Afghanistan, because they want it to be a fair fight between the soldiers and the native population.

Wow, you figured out that they did something where they wouldn't all be immediately arrested and tossed in jail, that's a brilliant observation. Now explain how the people who would arrest them, with their guns and radios and SWAT teams and helicopters don't work things so that they don't go after soft targets as well?

Fact is these people all have much more massive balls than 90% of the effete whiners and snivelers here and everyone knows it. I'd love to see rich liberatarian fairies like Keith Rabois or Peter Thiel go to Oakland public housing and get up in people's faces and tell them what they think should be done with them.
5-minute primer on VC Term Sheets
I never argue they are not morally responsible for what they do. But arguing that we need to look at the issue of discrimination being a current or ex-NSA. How would that affect employment. Will major employer like Google or open-source giant like Mozilla, reject people for the sake of being NSA?

That's my issue I want to discuss. If we are striving for a better society, discrimination should be minimized. If we keep discriminate them, penalize them, the only job they will ever have is NSA job.

I think now this point is clear why it is important to look at the effect and the moral issue of how we treat them.

And to many, it is NSA is evil, every NSA employee is evil. and that's a big issue.
I'm not really sure what to make of this!
I like Yubikeys: https://www.yubico.com/. They show up as a USB keyboard, so you don't have to type the codes in.

There are some disadvantages. Yubikeys use a shared secret instead of public key crypto. Also, the one-time password is iteration-based, not time-based. On the bright side, you can program Yubikeys with your own secrets. They may not be as secure as properly configured RSA tokens, but they're much better than authing with just a password or client cert.
Neither Canada nor the US are nation-states. That term specifically means a country where the people are pretty ethnically or culturally homogenous.
Great talk. Particularly the bit on the value of naming things - I rather wish he'd flogged that a bit harder.

As time goes on I'm finding it more and more frustrating to try and maintain code that relies entirely on anonymous and structural constructs without any nominal component. Yes, I do feel super-powerful when I can bang out a bunch of code really quickly by just stacking a bunch of more-or-less purely mathematical constructs on top of each other. . . but as the story of the Mars Climate Orbiter should teach us rather poignantly, when you're trying to engineer larger, more complex systems it turns out that meta-information is actually really useful stuff.
Hm, how does it decide how far back to start?
the r in rsa is ron rivest who was responsible for some very elegant ideas. his papers, that i've read, are generally very simple and clear. but he also wrote md2 [an old hash, n longer used] which contains some "magic numbers" that no-one can explain. they are supposed to be derived from pi, but no-one knows how... http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/11935/how-is-the-m... (i even emailed him, but was shrugged off; i know it's silly and paranoid, but...)

anyway, i wonder what happens now to all the customers that use rsa dongles? big, international, political organisations...
[video] NCSU Researchers combine Oculus Rift & Kinect, code in video description
But what the sign says is either "no(food && drink)" or "no(food) && drink", depending on how you feel about precedence. The obvious implication in the first case is that either food or drink, or neither, but not both, is permissible; in the second, it's that drink is acceptable only when not also accompanied by food, but no other constraint is expressed with regard to either. If the intent was to express that neither food nor drink is permissible in any combination, the correct form, both logically and grammatically, would be "No food or drink".

The Origins of the Blink Tag (2008)
I think some people should at least try to get over their math-phobia. I am trying to myself, and math is an uphill battle for me even without that kind of fear. The sloppy, opaque, inconsistent and often overloaded notation is an impediment, the 'let the reader infer most of this' proofs are an impediment... but if people are turned off to such a degree over a few names, they wouldn't last long in something which is such a mathy language anyway, relatable names or not.
Browser prefixes. I will never understand this.
Did you consider going the appliance route? Leasing commodity boxes that can mount network shares via Samba or NFS and reselling them as CPE seems like it would work for this particular software.

That way you would control the software load and be able to manage the quality of the product. And you could use a PPA to manage updates etc.

I'd be really interested to know if you considered this but did not do it and would like to hear the obstacles.
Personally, I think one of the things you can't trust these days are comments by tptacek.

Time for Google, et. al to switch to Uber / Lyft / etc? Not as eco or commute friendly, but a lot less noticeable. Or maybe time to subsidize publicly accessible commuter bus lines?

I had an old account and set the procrast to a trillion seconds to stop me from commenting. (run4yourlives) I made a new account just for this.

Are you aware of just how valuable this piece of software is? While I commend you for open sourcing it and giving it to us to use, a part of me feels that you are undercutting yourself.

Let me highlight a problem for pretty much every company (that is larger than a few people) in existence: The information needed by administration and accounting teams to register a new client is never properly collected by sales teams, so you have haphazard implementations and processes and all sorts of weird and wonderful ways of making sure the various business specific answers to questions are delivered to the people that need them to be.

You've created a solution to that problem. The upside of it is, well, HUGE.

I'll simply thank you for giving me that solution to run with, and hopefully I'll be able to do so within my space. Personally I don't think you should have done what you did if you were to look at it selfishly; you didn't though and for that you should be commended I think.
Could you rephrase that with fewer metaphors? I'm having trouble understanding what actual thing it is that you think techies should be doing.
From the article:

"RSA adopted the algorithm even before NIST approved it. The NSA then cited the early use of Dual Elliptic Curve inside the government to argue successfully for NIST approval, according to an official familiar with the proceedings."
I completely agree with you, but the action was violent, or at least scary to the people on the bus. Plenty of marginalized people have managed to assert their dignity without intentionally scaring people. My main point, however, was simply that the tax bracket of these passengers has no bearing on whether the protest was acceptable.
i wonder if Snowden has any detailed info on the NSA indroduced/forced backdoors (he obviously was aware about their existence in general like pretty much everybody in the world who isn't a tptacek's religious follower) and this or something like this is what keeps him alive - ie. NSA is afraid of dead man switch while other side(s) hopes that Snowden will reveal more and specifically useful for actual hacking info with time.
Scientific approach is exactly what I'm calling for here. When a cryptographer resorts to arguments like "this algorithm won't work because it is not common/modern/accepted" without providing an exact way to break it, it doesn't sound like scientific approach to me. It's more like the religious mindset of someone who rigidly worships some limited list of tools (e.g. "NSA Suite B Cryptography") and punishes anyone who is independent enough to deviate from it.

This is one of the many issues people have with what the NSA is doing. Weak crypto means not only the NSA can exploit it but possibly many other criminals.
I wasn't sure I skimmed half the article. It did have a giant image of one the tokens though.

At the moment, we automatically pick up on time-of-day, and day-of-week variations.

We don't currently look at time-of-month and seasonal variation by default.
This is because most people using our service at the moment, are not trying to optimise for a monthly or seasonal time horizon. If this changes, we'll add those features.

You also ask about transient events: Our system is adaptively responsive to short term changes in trends. It has certain assumptions about the preferences of users, which it is constantly testing and monitoring. If those assumptions turn out the be wrong, they get checked correspondingly more, and this process forms a feedback loop.

So, if there's a short term change in behaviour, that changes a user behaviour a large amount, the system will adapt to that quickly. If it can't tell the short term change apart from random noise, then it won't adapt - but thats a limitation of any system - for it to detect a short term change, the change either has to have a large magnitude, or it has to see many users with that change (probably 100s but maybe 1000s, depending on the magnitude of the change).
Yes, and the other thing I find baffling is that a trivial post talking about something that would be covered in the first part of any baby logic course---before you even get to quantifiers!---is currently ranked as high as it is.
I think trying to separate JS hooks from CSS hooks is an anti-pattern actually. Like having `js-` prefixed classes.

I'm not sure what those several hundred people who were living there were doing for housing while construction was underway, though. Maybe the "moving expenses" that the landlord covered included assistance with locating new temporary places to live?
I believe we heard that some months before already. The biggest problem is IMHO their libcrypto still being used in Java and MS Windows.
You're not sure what to make of what?
Exactly this! Who audits this? It is a corporate "policy" effectively, which the controlling interest can lie in exactly as much as they feel like... transparency for all people not in a place to control the "numbers".

This is an insanely one sided arrangement, that can easily be leverage to keep employees in line. "Don't you see that Jim only took a 2% raise this year, do you really think you deserve more than Jim? He has four kids!"
Seeing that RSA SecurID VPN dongle pic in the article scared me.

Why do you think they put it there?
Sure, I have no problem with people doing art or studying history or women or philosophy.

My problem is with the entitlement and the attacks on the people who chose financially more successful professions.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE art. I just don't think our society has so many gifted artists. I've taken many art classes in college and most art students sucked, truly sucked at art. There were objectively great artists among them, but I'd say fewer than 10%.
My guess would be for the benefit of undercover CIA spies working as aid workers.
Being a transsexual is not a "lifestyle". It's a neurological medical condition that is treatable with hormones and surgery.

http://tgmeds.org.uk/diffa.html

Maybe people think it's a "lifestyle" because they only notice the transsexual people that dress and act in such a way as to socially signal that they have an atypical gender identity. The majority of transsexual people try to hide their changing bodies as they get hormonal therapy till they can successfully blend in ("pass") as a cis gendered woman/man.

What implications does this have for RSA?
Yes indeed - and we use it extensively at Facebook. It just wasn't new this year.
Trans basically means transsexual / transgender. Y'know how our parents used to think gay meant happy and then it didn't? Words change. This is the new word.
IETF is very different from the NIST.
Thanks for all your insight here in this thread. I went through all this myself and haven't really been able to talk about it. Its reassuring to see others have been through the same. My psychopath convinced everyone I had psychosis when I questioned her once. I refused to believe something that I saw her do was a 'hallucination'. For months I was gaslighted by everyone I knew. I would think I was in the clear and then a friend would call me up at work out of the blue, asking if they can take me to accident and emergency. I had 9 months depression and am only now getting out of it.

It is insane how memories can be overwritten. I can write at length on this, I learnt it from videoing her talking to me. They have total frame control and will keep switching subjects away from facts.

I never confronted her to tell her that I knew who she was, but she did warn me indirectly. She showed the 'psychopath face', if that means anything to anyone...
Which is a wonderful thing for the corporation. Self-monitoring and peer-pressure among employees. "Really Dan, you want a raise, how much more than Jim do you think you are worth?"

Suddenly, you salary is directly related to your boldness and the amount of flack you are willing to take from employees, not your talent or value to the company.

I recently stumbled upon a cool website which allows you to send a "random tweet of kindness."

From the site:

Random Tweet of Kindness is a website which enables anyone with thirty seconds and an internet connection to make someone's day anonymously.

The idea was born from the notion that in a world full of negativity, we could all use more kind, gratifying words in our lives.

With Random Tweet of Kindness, all you have to do to make someone's day is choose a friend from Twitter, type in their username along with a few kind words, and click send!
Yes and why happens when a christian marries a Jew! There is long standing history of tribes that people want.
"it represented more than a third of the revenue that the relevant division at RSA had taken in during the entire previous year"
I think at this point you're just deliberately being obtuse. You're free to make bizarre claims like that which virtually nobody would agree with, but unless you want to take the time to elaborate I'm not going to take the time to engage with you on this.
