> If we was everyone, then we could have agents that use our private key to sign and encrypt things on our behalf, but be a bit more confident that it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. (Actually, we'd best spawn agents with a time-limited signed ephemeral private key.)

What are we supposed to gain from "agents" here? You have your private key, nobody else has it, you sign things with it. If somebody else has it then it isn't your private key.

For DRM to even pretend to work for any purpose that anyone thinks of when people say "DRM" (i.e. preventing the copying of bits given to untrusted parties), it has to be a centralized trust model. Some party that "everyone" can trust has to certify that the device or software you're giving the secret bits to is not going to divulge them. The problem is that there is nobody that everybody can trust. Trust is not a global hierarchy, it's a relativistic relationship between peers.

If (as it seems) you're trying to achieve something separate that may work using a distributed trust model, why are you calling it DRM?
That's not quite right. Assuming you were picking passwords randomly discarding ones that have repeat letters etc makes for a smaller password space, certainly. However that's not how most passwords are generated, especially among the people that need this advice most. If your password generation algorithm is 'think out a random string' and produces 'aabbbbdccdc' then your password space is tiny.

Those practices are meant to address the most common 'patterns' in human-generated passwords, therefore effectively enlarging the password space (any cracker has to enumerate more complicated patterns or brute-force, rather than the simple pattern that our brains would generate by defualt)

Let me guess, it logs something somewhere that no one ever checks? Or equally likely, you'll find this:

- When I have 5 outstanding emails from @client.com i need to reply baddly.
- When i have 5 outstanding from @asdfsa.com with subjects like 'Buy Viagra' its a good sign i should ban @asdfsa.com. - When i have 100 outstanding email from @ec2-hosts.mycorp.com it probably means i need to fix some logging somewhere.

Look at the list of things they check. It shows you how they calculate the score for the password. The actual scoring is in fact done in JavaScript, which you can see when you inspect the page.

They want the password on the server side purely for statistics or some other reason that has nothing to do with scoring how "secure" the password is.

This is very good advice. However, it would be great if Google could introduce a time element to filters. i.e; 'apply label 'ToRead' if email is over 5 days old and is unread and move to 'unread' folder'. Or 'mark message as 'priority' if unread after 4 hours and from dave@important.com'
Thanks for the link. When I mentioned "better block/closure support will certainly help" this is what I was referring to, but its nice to see an example. But some in-language support could have made things a lot nicer still, and I find it odd that as a "modern" language that they omitted it.

> you really think that emulating human cognition on a separate substrate is outright impossible?

Absolutely not.

But I think it's too far in the future, that it is totally pointless for us, in 2014, to worry about it.

I view the singularity crowd as a bunch of medieval alchemists, after they have seen gunpowder, worrying about mutually assured destruction of the whole world, after someone scales their firecrackers to a size capable of destroying whole countries.

Yes, coming to 1950's we did reach nuclear weapons with end-the-world capability.

But it would have been quite pointless for (al)chemist, or philosophers, in the 1400's, or even in the 1700's, to start worrying about this threat.

The efficient markets hypothesis has a hard time explaining behavior in real markets.

In theory, traders search for asset prices that are higher or lower than fair value and profit by arbitraging back to fair value.

But in real markets, rising prices encourage more buying, which drives prices even further from fair value. Falling prices encourage more selling, pushing prices lower still.

Markets don't price to what traders think is fair value. They price to what traders think other traders will think the price will be.[1]

We have reached the third degree where we devote our intelligences to
anticipating what average opinion expects the average opinion to be.

The very existence of persistent booms and busts debunks much of efficient markets theory, and consequently the illusion that free markets can regulate themselves.

So it appears you're right. For things for which you don't care about any value returned this is the case. The reason I haven't run into this is for the most part things that can error, they also return a value that matters. You can't use the return value without doing something with the error.

So it appears that there is a loophole for things that can error and purely used for side effects.

It's nice, but suffer from similar problems as all web apps: They have your encrypted keys, all they have to do is send you a different "client" (change the js/ui) the next time you log in, and they can snoop your encryption password. They can of course be forced to do this.

I also wonder about their claim to "expire" mails -- I assume they mean only for mails internal to protonmail -- as any other expiry would have to rely on the recipient using a cooperating pgp/gpg and/or cooperating pop/imap client.

Meh, I always thought your "Why There Will Be No Singularity" blog post was a pretty accurate prediction. AI will work, but be so piecemeal that the chances of total domination by a superintelligent singleton get quite low. WBE will eventually work (after AI works, most likely), but will trigger lots of social strife and so come into use quite piecemeal itself. Life gets a lot better and a lot weirder but basically just goes on.

Which has the major upside of meaning we'll never have to deal with the Vile Offspring.

By the way, the final component to Rapture of the Nerds didn't seem to have a very good "exam", as I can't imagine the Galactic Authority would never have come up with any way to analyze minds, for instance a sample of human minds, and thus infer the chance that we can coexist as a species without having to run trillions of parallel copies performing very expensive simulations. Hilarious book, other than that, though; it really reminded me how much of a total nerd I am that I understood every single damn word without having to google.

Growth describes the size of the economy. Poverty describes distribution. While size and distribution may correlate long enough that people start to believe they causally relate, they don't have to.

"A rising tide lifts all boats" is a nice belief and accurate for many boats and tides, but there's no reason to believe that what holds for boats holds for economies, any more than the behavior of dominoes held for Southeast Asian countries.

For that matter, it doesn't hold for all boats. A big enough tide could completely submerge a boat firmly enough anchored to the sea floor, for example.

The "Bubble Watch" graphs have been updated daily for several months in anticipation of a future bubble. Bitcoin's market price has spiked seven times since its inception, every 220 days on average, and the above graphs overlay the previous bubbles with the current performance to predict when a bubble might occur.

Such charts may be a self fulfilling prophecy, though it's interesting to see how well the past bubbles align with the current spike.

To get another view of the past bubbles, go to bitcoinwisdom.com, set "Settings -> Scale -> Logarithmic", and change the view to 3d.

I don't think you need to worry too much about the US secret services (directly). But you can worry about the Swiss secret services. And probably by extension the German and French secret services. Which means you have to (by extension) worry about the US secret services anyway.

Note that France and Germany probably have much more direct dealings with Switzerland than the US has -- so pressure from these governments/the EU is more likely to hold sway, than any direct pressure from the US (but, as with all things, if a nation state consider you a legitimate it's probably game over anyway).

I can't write messages with my preferred mail client, can't read messages with my preferred mail client and I can't access my (old) messages while offline. non-protonmail-users will receive a notification with a link that they received a message, not the actual message that they can keep for archiving purposes, offline use etc. I wonder if and how they handle searching mailboxes.

This is so wrong in some many levels.

1. They should not ask for any password first of all
2. They post the password to their server when they could have checked it on the client
3. The password is sent as GET meaning that it is in the URL and it will be recorded in your history and perhaps anything else that keeps log of the URLs you visit

> If Google is hostile against you, you shouldn't even be using their browser in any way.

The problem with this statement is that it generalizes. Unless your solution is to not use any browser, you have to trust somebody. The traditional way to solve this problem is checks and balances. You don't trust just Google, you make them show their work. Because if the source code is sitting there on the web for everybody to see it, and anyone can verify that the binary being distributed to everyone matches the one they get when they compile it themselves, inserting a backdoor is a lot more dangerous because of the risk that you get caught and ruin your reputation.

But for any of that to be possible, the code running on your computer has to be the same as the code running on everybody else's computer. The fact that somebody could inspect the code that isn't running on your computer does you no good.
With access to thousands of bank accounts, you can issue small transfers to and from those accounts, over and over and over again, to the point that the transfers are so many, that tracing them becomes significantly difficult.
