> Yet, there is seemingly no compelling answer to them that doesn't involve bringing your passport to a key signing party.

The only reason I trust the source of an email by its "from" address is because of the history of correspondence with that person from that address. Yes, if it is compromised, I may not realize it right away, or I may (see: phishing emails from virus/malware infestations), but by and large it works as advertised.

Same thing with usernames in forums. There's a certain cred that is eventually attached to a username over time.

If I use the same public key to represent myself in all my communication "for a while", then there's implicit trust that it's me there, for the same reasons.

Key revocation is admittedly not as simple, if I want to continue to maintain my "trust balance" somehow. What happens if I switch email addresses? "Hi guys, this is my new email address." What if I was compromised and someone else did that? (Well, how often does that happen in real life?)

Perhaps you could keep one key super secret (and offline) and sign all new day-to-day keys with it. I don't know.

What I'm saying is- Treat it like email. Forget trying to centralize who owns what key. Forget trying to exercise absolute control over trust in a given key. The key(s) I use "most of the time" is "me". If I need to revoke it, I will suffer some in the short term, but I will quickly build my cred back up by using a new one.

If it was more widespread then perhaps we could centralize SOME third-party signing. Say I could go to a bank and they could sign my key saying "this key definitely belongs to lectrick", and it would work because the bank's public key is known-trusted.

Terrible article. The actual presentation in question is at [1]. The presentation has nothing to do with performance in the field. Instead the presentation is regarding JEDEC requirements, for which the relevant specification is that "enterprise" class SSDs must retain their data when powered off at 40C for 3 months.

For some people with GERD, coffee is very bad for them. My wife switched from coffee to tea for this reason. Tea is pretty fabulous for her, and I gather there's at least some documented health benefits on that front as well.

Edit: GERD = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastroesophageal_reflux_disease

Second Edit: To be clear: I agree with the parent article, I think coffee is close to harmless for MOST people, and very well might have some positives.
I'd argue that you're both middle-browing the f* out of an article that actually quotes several actual scientific studies.
The place which is hilariously broken is that on the Google play store, I cant give star ratings to movies / music that I like to get a more customized experience because doing so requires you to publicly disclose on Google+ that you liked / disliked that movie/song.

Or anyone, really. I don't mind being flirty with a guy once I know him (as I am with most of my male friends), but I wouldn't get that way with strangers at a professional event. Any man, woman, or otherwise who did that at an event like this would get a bad review from me.
The flip side is that women that behave as you depicted often get labelled with unfunny names, while it does not happen when said behaviour comes from a man. :/
In terms of traffic, any faster traffic needs space. Could be electric bikes going 30mph, you can't ride that speed on a side-walk like street and in Europe I never get going that fast unless it's by a river (tend to be wider paths).

On pricing, manufacturing does help a lot. But retail is part of the cost (always >10% of it) and the restriction of movement will apply to people going out or goods coming in.

Unless there's raised or multi-level paths. That's honestly the real solution here; building up.

An interesting question is why we build up without interconnection? Purely ownership reasons? Structural stability reasons?
I don't understand why this is OK. I don't understand why people listen to Google's advice on making fast websites when one of their main websites has a fucking loading bar.

Using both tinder and okc, people use both apps in the same exact way. Tinder may have a reputation as a "hook up app", but most people are not using it that way.
I am with you on that. Its hard to say anything without criticism.

I believe the problem is, its a cultural difference. Some women have a different setpoint when complaining, which men are uncomfortable with. That discomfort is louder than the message.

Now, we could either ask women to learn to argue like a man. We could ignore them and hope they go away. We could try to speak for women, (mis)translating their message. Or we could get over it, and just address the message.
True, but the US government doesn't even pretend to follow the Constitution anymore.

Also, the Constitution can be amended. We can't guarantee that ex post facto laws will remain unconstitutional for the duration of your lifetime.

Also, states are technically not obliged to abide by the US constitution.

Why don't they just build up if land prices support the construction costs? Seems to work in a lot of places.

Also, does anyone know why we don't have more- interconnected skyscrapers or underground connections? I see that on rare occasion.

Quite some research in rodents supports the statement. That would suggest that coffee works without the typical lifestyle choices, at least unless coffee-high rats are programming till the sun comes up.

(A Scientific American article about a similar research from last year: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coffee-and-tea-may...)

My two cents is in keeping my daily coffee - and leave the causation vs. correlation debate for later.
Many of them will come back when the relationship ends.
Fuck that.

There are companies every day trying to genuinely make the world a better place, like the healthcare IT one that I work for, trying to open up a Steam-like platform to do signal processing in hospitals. Or the not one but two charity fundraising startups bootstrapping in my city. Or the test-grading automation startup in Dallas.

And yet, because these companies aren't within walking distance of the Valley VCs, and because they are sometimes tackling industry problems that take more than a year to close a basic deal on (seriously, fuck hospital invoicing and billing), they have enormous trouble getting out of the valley of startup death because no funding available that permits easy growth. And because the local VCs in these cities are looking for easy deals, they just fly over for their day trips to the coast, and ignore what's in their own backyards.

So, for fuck's sake, let's not complain about the developers who are trying to eke out a living--let's instead take a long, hard look at the market and society that rewards them, and understand that that is the root of the problem.

EDIT: Minor clarification in paragraph two.

I'd format it with a fresh version of whatever OS came on it just to be safe. I actually have always done this when buying pre-built computers just to get rid of all the junk that comes from the manufacturer.
The fact that they actually tried to compete with the Mac with this is amazing to me. And, as much as I dislike Microsoft products, you have to hand it to them; they persevered until they had a product that could compete. ...at least until OS X. (I couldn't resist)

Now I see your point.

However, I'd argue to a judge that I can't be "non-compliant" about surrendering all copies of illegal material until the court decides that the material is indeed illegal. Just because law enforcement wants to bring charges doesn't mean I'm actually guilty of anything yet.

Even if you assume that investment is completely off the table so there is no conflict of interest, creating a situation in which a founder might feel pressured to go on a date with someone they are not attracted to in order to get in the room with people who can fund them is fundamentally not ideal.

> Btw. do you really have traffic light buttons that don't do anything? Here in Berlin many automatic traffic lights have something that looks like a button but actually isn't one. Underneath is vibrating button that will show blind people that it's green without a sound. Many many people don't see that this is not a button, and don't think a moment about the blind sign (yellow ground, three black dots) on top of it and press it anyway, hoping it has an effect.

Yes, the old ones really did nothing. I just can't understand why they were put there. I tried pressing (and holding) them a few times, they had no vibration or anything like that. They've started removing them as the new, functional ones are installed, but it's hard to change people's habits.

The new ones both affect the traffic light timing and emit an audible signal for the blind.

The first and last paragraphs are incorrect; you may disagree that the federal government actually follows the Constitution, but that's a different issue. And while many provisions of the Constitution address only the federal government, States are still bound by it to the extent it addresses them, as it does, among other places, in the 14th Amendment.

The FCC does possess, and has exercised in the past, these powers.

The legal argument is that by using the public spectrum to transmit, you have agreed to FCC enforcement of such. Thus, you have tacitly agreed that the FCC in fact does not need a warrant to investigate, or seize your equipment, if they determine that that is an appropriate action.

I think this is beyond a flimsy argument, but it is the argument. It needs more looking over in courts, frankly. Seems like it could be easily abused.
Personally I find that site less interesting. It vaguely resembles Win9x, but only vaguely, it's not even trying to be faithful, and you can't really do anything.

Compare that to michaelv.org (now defunct), which very faithfully reproduced Windows 3.1, complete with games, a filesystem, various small utilities, and such. Or to win95.ajf.me (which I made) which has an actual instance of Windows 95 in it, so you can fiddle about with the real thing.

I dunno. Windows 93 is fun, but it's not quite the same experience. I'd love to make something in the same vein as michaelv.org for Windows 95. I already have win95.ajf.me, of course, but a recreation of 95 is fun for its own reasons.

This is not the case. I've written a Lambda which quite purposefully writes to a different path in the source bucket.

I have a Lambda for processing large files; the first phase is a single Lambda splitting the file into chunks which can be processed within the 60 second limit, and then the second phase is a bunch of the same Lambdas processing those chunks.

I did not see him drawing a parallel specifically to Sweden in the 60's and 70's, but rather to interventions in Europe in general during that period.

In the sixties/seventies Sweden had a far more radical/left wing government most of the period than it has ever had since. First under Tage Erlander (social democrat; "founder" of large parts of the Swedish welfare system) and his successor, Olof Palme, which was even more left wing.

Olof Palme's harsh criticism of the Vietnam war was indeed a watershed moment in making criticism of the US involvement in Vietnam politically acceptable in Europe and in particular in the Scandinavian countries.

But Sweden has never been as left wing again as it was up until Palme was assassinated.
Just brainstorming here. Here are a few ways in which you can get in trouble with the law because of unencrypted online communications (these are ordered from most likely to occur within 1 human lifetime to least likely to occur within 1 human lifetime, IMO):

1. You could travel to another country where they arrest you for something unencrypted you did online in a country where it was legal. This has already happened. [1]

2. Your communications could become evidence in court that you "always had radical leanings." So while you're not convicted for what you did online, it still becomes evidence against you. I suspect this has already happened.

3. You could travel to another country where retroactive laws are allowed, and get caught because of something you said in the past in the US.

4. The US could eventually allow retroactive laws, and catch you for something you did before retroactive laws were allowed.

Note: these are just ways you could get in trouble with the law; not mentioned are things like your reputation being destroyed, death threats, identity theft, or malware due to lack of encryption. I also have not mentioned ways in which your friends could get in trouble because of something unencrypted you did online.

The elevator door close buttons may not do anything most of the time, but they aren't there just for decoration. Their primary purpose is for emergency personnel who have turned the key to the emergency or firefighter setting. When in that mode the doors only open when you push open and only close when you push close.

I would be very surprised if you could confirm that you have been on an elevator where these buttons weren't wired up.

The article was joking about the interview questions. But let's say they weren't. I'd answer your question thusly: Interest. If someone interviewed and had an answer to most of these questions, it would at least show that they had an interest in the material and weren't just looking for a job.

>It's not OK not to learn about sexism and try to fight it now that we have a much better sense of how it works.

You are the one who opened this conversation with a judgment of morality. It is quite obvious what you are suggesting - every man has a moral obligation to educate himself about sexism on his own time and on his own dime (you're certainly not going to help with that, repeatedly asserting the existence of a "vast" number of studies without naming a single one).

Very few people here will dispute that sexism exists, or that the world would be a better place if it didn't. But you come off as so ideologically blinded that you are literally incapable of understanding why anybody would ever disagree with you.

And you're doing yourself and your cause a disservice. You appear so insufferably, patronizingly smug that it is hard to take your argument at all seriously.
