If one person has access once and publishes it, the work of setting up a proper md5 was a waste compared to an xor.

I'm curious to see, but I don't think the algorithm for calculating the password from the identifier would be very sophisticated. Assuming they didn't want to add costs to prevent easy retrieval of any secret key from the device, a complex algorithm would be kind of a waste.

Sounds like a variant on the 12 monkeys theme.

Wow, it sure worked out fortunately that half of their military was already there.

I'll say, if the whole military had been there the Ukraine would be sixteen times larger today!

I think NASAs switch to Probabilistic Risk Assessment has everything to do with unhappiness with doing a study of the entire moon and expanding requirements that shouldn't cost any more development time.

Exactly what planning failure would occur wouldn't have been known, so how many other general capabilities would this lander have needed to maintain across different scenarios where they might interact with each other? How much less testing of the actual plan would they have made to stay on schedule and in budget?

If they had every intention of staying on plan but some team had delays and costs for fixing bugs with handling a larger differential than the lander would encounter, I assume a manager would be let go.

No he's saying they are more likely to bludgeon you because you may have a gun and shoot them before they can run away.

Kids are a constant presence in your house, bullet after bullet and stomach pump after stomach pump confirms that that's an entirely different threat model than a safe can handle.

This seems like a past performance as a measure of future returns error to me.

China has had a lot of success with free market and exports while having substantial central control and without being a liberal democracy. It's not really clear how systems will fail or succeed as technological balance rebalances or unbalances power between the estates.

I think long term leaders will continue to be parasitic burdens upon their societies but its quite possible that technology will help alleviate their typical consequences on productivity.

For example, virtually every corporation is at its heart a failure in democratic control and a centrally controlled institution with either a long term dictator or oligarchy. They had substantially more problems competing in earlier times when paperwork overhead was literal paper.

But I think it was normal. Would modern undiagnosed children have flourished in less institutional settings? I think being on the dangerous edge used to be safer than being insufficiently experienced in dangers that were unavoidable and in many cases predatory.

I think the whole reason articles like this are common is that one can easily calculate these numbers from visa statistics, i.e. number of people who didn't get a job within the grace period. Naturally these kinds of statistics can be a bit off, for example someone might transition to another type of visa instead of seeking work.

In an alternative world where laptops are selling like hot cakes I would say it's because AMD woke people up who hadn't seen enough improvements to justify a purchase since 2012, the wild economy that has people job hopping, and of course the massive power requirements as Meta pushes APIs from the wildly successful metaverse to Facebook feeds.

I've known a quite few people who dropped out of tech around the dotcom bust and I've not really had a very normal continuous career..

As afar as manual labor and car(?) travel, I would recommend against doing that without a specific trajectory in mind that you've already been working on. For example if you will be transitioning to more of a lifestyle as an owner of coffee shops.

Most people I know who went into the trades and stayed had pretty good advantages compared to ones that were really looking for anything open to an entry level worker.

It's possible to feel like you've aged 10 years by having one or two sleepless nights or food poisoning, a cold, a tough day of manual labor, or nothing substantial to eat.. It's not really that remarkable.

Relying on web of trust is in contrast to having nothing. Other groups (Debian, Apache, etc) describe their hierarchy of trust inside or outside of the key servers, so I rarely care how messed up key server contents are.

AFAIK language specific package managers fundamentally have a trust problem. If they cared enough to make a protocol they might care enough to fix the actual trust problem, but as it is, it is better that we can reuse tools and web of trust rather than download a tor browser and ask it to verify the next download of a tor browser..

I would consider verifying a signature with gpg, openssl or openssh a far more important feature for code signing than adding (equivalences of) ~transport features like OLM's ratcheting or perfect forward secrecy.

If the only way to verify a package is to run code written by the same person who wrote the signing that's pretty bad.

AFAIK New South Wales is only one State in Australia so the headline could be better?

But given that public teaching is universal at least in average and bellow areas, doesn't this imply that teachers can only afford to live in ~10% of NSW or are salaries nonuniform such that teachers in an expensive place can afford to live in a place where the local teachers can't afford to live?

I'm not thrilled to see a discussion of contracts.. How do the system designers intend to avoid a speculative tulip market for small amounts of processing? Can anyone bring up all the computing they would ever need by plugging it into the Internet?

The P2P aspect looks much better, but naturally there's the question of how this is differentiated from something like Tor with .Onion sites?

May as well run the normal parser on an update file to print its version info and maybe some metrics in the manual update UI?

If a passkey is something you know then you are using a failed implementation. A fido/authn device is supposed to be able to attest to never having let the private key out, even with a relaxation to passkeys it should at least be sending it to another device that can attest.

The change in make-up implies that they have trouble or uncertainty around getting western parts in volume.. The tank parts from a military manufacturer are also less likely to be dual use.

Yes though its also written for people who speak an entirely different dialect of English that's a bit more distant than Wisconsin vs BBC.

I've occasionally heard of those kinds of problems from acquaintances, but I've heard and seen so many more newly introduced defect problems and individual car misassembled problems. On average, I think a used car is a car that has been debugged under warranty by someone else with its design critiqued collectively.

The discount for the possibility that the last owner was in the bottom 20% seems to not take into account the positive aspects of a car that is at least 2 years old, 80% of the time.

I'd ignore the question of the in-project mentor and suggest filtering projects based on their open source community style of governance and supporting foundation and look through their actual collaboration communications to make sure their style is right for a young entry level contributor.

From those she can look at what interests her and why first bugs list they have, etc.

If they are a properly in the open she doesn't really need their mentoring as opposed to mentor like interactions from you, or any other people who would have time to review and discuss with her the ticket progress, her changes, etc.

She could end up having more connection to the project and mentoring they provide but she may also find other projects that are more interesting to her and realize the project she started on isn't motivating. It is hard to bring a dependence on a mentor that is helping because of one project with you.

If you post something public it can be attested to by whoever that it once looked like X which is almost as irrefutable as it being self proving like a block chain. Scuttlebutt is trying to help you obscure your identity in posting and one could be sending encrypted content to particular other parties (maybe in its protocols but certainly just using it for the medium) where those parties could reveal irrefutably that content and that you made that content as that identity in that historical context.

Take instead the example of sending content encrypted with shared session keys over a live mesh network, where you send session keys to your specific friends to decrypt instead of revealing an identity to them.

Any "friend" could prove that they had some content at a specific time, but they could never prove that they didn't just make it themself since you gave them the symmetric key that let's either of you make shared content. This is a simple way to fail to achieve irrefutable though other properties as well..

If for example you are accused of a crime with no statute of limitations and a friend has since died, there should be a distinction between whether their hard drives prove something or their hard drives are hearsay without something else, like their testimony that they didn't tamper with contents in some long forgotten practical joke.

Of course SF isn't normal it is the archetype for the city as an insane asylum created by Reaganomics.

But it seems SF shows that has nothing to do with the epidemic of murder in the US or it is least prevalent in leftist cities that decided to take over federal responsibilities that Reagan stopped honoring in a rather odd way.

Trying to make everything you can call one word one horrible new problem doesn't solve something. It makes people think there is some hopeless complex problem instead of many separate cause and effect incidents for unrelated things.

I'd generally consider that different because whatever people scrape could be randomly reassembled but its not forming a canonical proof. A social platform that digitally signed content to have irrefutable proof of what you scraped would be closer and that would probably be adding the anti pattern they criticize for little reason.

They don't really go into the terms of the allowance, but if use it or lose it encouraged some just to go to the movies and eat at a cafeteria a few times a week from now on, it would probably have a better effect for a lot less money than most of the attempts at social programs I have seen.

Whether it is used is probably also a helpful metric.

But the city’s violent crime rate is at a near-historic low, and is lower than most mid-to-large-sized cities.

Wow, more evidence that this is a city in the US?

Wow, even bankers getting 2 days WFH.
