What if I got 100 drones that picked up a tarp and carried me around (i.e. use them for transport, claiming that they carry the tarp and I just happen to be on it)? Or how about using drones in mass by a non-profit to intimidate at political gatherings?

I like drones, but I have a feeling this is a decision that will get overturned within 5 years.

You try explaining that to 250 students that can't read what you write. "It'll be ok, my handwriting will improve over time," doesn't exactly fly too well.

Also note that it's pretty hard to give numerical results to a computation on the blackboard. A plot generated by a computer program and embedded on a Beamer slide is optimal in this case.

My handwriting is improving, and I do try to improve. The fact you didn't glean that from my, albeit curt, response is hardly cause for putting words into my mouth. I appreciate the feedback though.
Deputies Claim Newsweek Quotes From Satoshi Were Accurate

> In this case, why don't we simply have classes of devices that are expected to implement crypto for end-users, and require them to be built with generous entropy pools?

Intel added a generous entropy source to their processors. The result is that nobody trusts it as a single entropy source, and /dev/random blocks anyway. Also, we are learning that using it only as an added source may also be harmful, and maybe we should ignore it completely.

I don't think this'll have any simple solution, although the idea of a CSPRNG that may block only at boot is interesting.
Plenty of close calls have taught me the value of always knowing my exits and always leaving plenty of space between me and the car in front of me (driving instructors often teach 1 car length for every 10 mph: 70 mph = 7 car lengths).

Unfortunately a lot of these rules only work if other drivers on the road are also following them (around here, in the Boston area, you'll be lucky to have 2 car lengths of space in front of you no matter your speed), so I've learned that simply being aware at all times (no phone, no distracting conversations, and holy hell no text messaging or emails) is the best thing anyone can do for improving their safety while behind the wheel.

Supposedly, people who think through how they would handle emergencies or other bad situations handle them much better than people who don't like to think about it. This is true even when it's a situation they hadn't actually planned through yet, because they have the mental habit of solving problems rationally rather than just pretending they won't happen.

You’re right, the “Install It” section should make that clearer. Anyway, there is an explanation of basic usage if you follow the link to “CLI” (https://github.com/segmentio/metalsmith#cli) in that section. It says you can create a `metalsmith.json` file that lists source, destination, and plugins in the described format, and then run `metalsmith` from the command line to build your pages according to the configuration file. And I think you will probably also have to install any plugins you use beforehand. Plugin installation instructions are all in the plugin READMEs – they are basically all just `npm install <some-package-name>`.

But it’s harder to figure out how to create my own local plugins and make sure Metalsmith is able to see them. And the documentation should make it clearer how to use the JavaScript API, in the context of a static file generator, where most people are not thinking about writing a program. It took me a bit of thinking to realize that you would have to create a `whatever.js` file inside the directory containing JavaScript code with `Metalsmith(".")….build()`, and then just run it with `node whatever.js`.

I am working on a framework/concept called ghostream (https://ghostream.com / https://github.com/ghostream/ghostream)

ghostream is a stream processing framework, built in C++ - it is a data stream processing framework. Having used numerous commercial ones (most notably IBM's Streams), and building various other part-frameworks (i.e. for time and budget reasons focussed on one particular thing) I has an itch to build an open source one (while storm and samza are definitely related, I feel they fall into a slightly different category - I'm all about the streams :) )

It is still in very active development - but the base is solidified now and the new test framework is starting to shape up nicely. There are a whole list of issues on github + a roadmap waiting to be exploited.

I have already started dog-fooding it in my other personal projects - the most visual of which can be seen here: http://jamielewis.me.uk/posts/2013-11-03-Mapping-Earthquakes...

If this strikes your interest give me a shout: jamie@ghostream.com.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. Forcing hand writing instead of typing is an artificial limitation not related to the core skill set of presenting. I would consider that like telling a graphical artist, sorry no wacom, you can only use this 2 button mouse. Sure, they can likely improve their mousing skills over time, but what is the benefit?

I'm dysgraphic and have typed every school report in since 3rd grade, so perhaps my view is biased on this matter. I remember being unable to learn cursive and my teachers telling my parents "Don't worry, by the time he's an adult everyone will type everything.". Their prediction has held true. Cursive is dead, removed from common core. Handwriting is up next. In my adult life, the only thing I've had to hand write other than my signature has been a few checks.

Forcing hand writing is like forcing modern day car drivers to only take a horse and buggy to work. They could get better at it, but why?

Thanks, checking it out. Just A/B'd them. Envy Code R is good. However, it falls short for me. DejaVu is more readable, filling more of the space, and DejaVu packs more lines in with a smaller default line height. Envy's curly brackets are too whimsical for their own good; they're abrasive yet too similar to square brackets when unfocused, scanning quickly.

I like Envy's actual style otherwise though (in a larger size). I'll keep it in mind for design.

"It's like [n-word] for [n-word]."

WTF?

That's startup culture alright.
It's a great thought experiment. I think I even read it when it came across HN. But it seems to me to be an argument about why we keep humans "in the loop", as it were, and less about what tools you give the humans.

It does open some questions about how "innovative" one might want to be when developing a weapon, even for defensive uses.

It's sort of unfortunate that nuclear physics made the gains it did, when it did, as a big part of the reason the U.S. ended up making the big push for the bomb, at a time when they needed all the resources they could get put into things like logistics for shipping materiel, was because of the fear that Germany might get it first. I.e., "if someone will get the bomb, we'd better do it better they do".

I suppose the Cold War would have ensured proliferation one way or another, but WWII certainly did not help the cause of non-proliferation.

But either way, war or defense (whatever you call it) can never be a simple-minded optimized anything. It is almost the very highest level of human holistic competition. So I'm not worried about the technology (as long as we don't make it self-aware, of course), I'm worried about the people.
Reminds me of a story...

This year my dad, a football coach, lugged an overhead projector with a bucket full of transparencies and visa-vis markers to a football clinic he was asked to speak at. When the younger coaches saw the ancient contraption, word got out on twitter, and my dad was past capacity for his talk. Many of the youngest coaches had never even seen an overhead projector!

By the time his talk was over, he had drawn (we might say derived) his ideas right in front of them, adapting to the questions that came his way. Most people said they really enjoyed the more interactive style my father taught in contrast to the stale power points of some other presenters. A great reminder that some people (including me!) learn best when things are derived in front of them with a dynamic teacher.
I remember hearing about the Nintendo DS work. Great stuff!

What I'm working on relies on a full JS implementation. Performance is a critical feature so I need to implement as little as possible. I basically implemented a very small VM that controls JS code using exceptions. What I've done lets you run JS code with a 3-4x perf hit, but you get full stepping and debugging abilities in user-land. I'm going to release it in a few weeks!

It sounds like it's not quite what you're looking for though. You're project sounds cool!
I agree that, if the SAT were ideal, there'd be no way to prepare for it in particular.

However, a nationally standardized test must have consistent scores to be useful, and currently the best way to do that is to keep the general format and content consistent. That means that a student can discover and prepare for the test's general format and content in advance, which is definitely advantageous.

A truly ideal SAT would have a different format and test wildly different skills every time it's issued in order to defeat the idea of test-specific preparation, but still produce meaningful scores. I'm skeptical that such a test can produce sufficiently consistent scores, though I'm very willing to someday be proven wrong by some clever test developer. That'd be pretty neat.

So, until we create an SAT for which test-specific preparation is meaningless, it's important that test prep resources are distributed evenly so that students with good educations won't have artificially lower scores due to unfamiliarity with the SAT's standard format and content. It's an unfortunate but necessary compromise :/
I really don't think that it's fair to compare Tesla with Coupons.com. Tesla has net assets of $2.4 billion, with IP that's worth a considerable amount. This is evidence to show that it may be worth investing. What does coupons.com have? A failing 16 year old business that hasn't once turned a profit?

Edit: Just noticed you said COUP aside. I agree with you – the comparisons from tech or unprofitable IPOs don't add up.

With and without anti-aliasing, it's very heavy/blotchy in parts of most of the letters. It's on the order of a typewriter style. As with the other recommendation, it's still a good style in a large size.
Does that mean that they pretty much know where the plane is likely to be? I recall from previous accidents that sometimes they can't find the plane very quickly. I don't know much about this subject, but what stops them from locating the plane within just a few hours?
> UPDATE [12:37]: Tuoi Tre, a leading daily in Vietnam, reports that the Vietnamese Navy has confirmed the plane crashed into the ocean. According to Navy Admiral Ngo Van Phat, Commander of the Region 5, military radar recorded that the plane crashed into the sea at a location 153 miles South of Phu Quoc island.

My favorite feature so far is to add a suffix to the existing selector. &-suffix {} or &_suffix {} so nice.
That seems to be a very sensible thing to do though. Consider that there are 153 Chinese nationals, the number of relatives waiting at the airport is probably at least couple hundreds. Since the event is ongoing and they have no idea how long it will take to have new updates, moving them to a place where they can be better accommodated while freeing up resources at the airport for its normal duties is probably a good thing.
Well that is good to know, the Air France jet took a long time to find because there was no radar information about where it went down. Large jets actually crashing feels very jarring these days to me, whereas 20 years ago it seemed much more common of an occurrence. Could just be a form of survivor bias though.

What happens with live-cd's on a read-only media? What about disk-less/thin clients? What about image restoration from backup? In each of those cases, the seed will either not be there or identical for each boot.

I would like to see a smarter /dev/urandom which asserts that there is enough fresh entropy. It would increase the trust of using it, and would put /dev/random usage in the special category of one-time pads. Until then, each case which the saved seed can cause issues with will have to be addressed if one choose to use /dev/urandom.
