This was the day 25 problem: given a graph of ~1600 nodes and ~3500 edges, find the 3 edges that if deleted divide the graph into 2 components. I looked over some of the solutions and it surprised me how few used the simplest method: for each edge with endpoints u, v in the graph, delete it and then find another path P1 between u and v. Then, for each edge e1 in P1, delete it and then find another path P2 between u and v. Then, for each edge e2 in P2, delete it and then try to find another path between u and v. If there is no path, (u, v), e1, e2 is your cut-set. Otherwise, add e2 back and try the next edge in P2. When you've exhausted P2, add e1 back and try the next edge in P1. When you've exhausted P1, add (u, v) back and try the next edge in the graph. It's 3-6 loops deep depending on how you count, but it works. My python implementation completes in under 2 minutes, but it varies because it appears the standard python data structures have some nondeterminism, and I may have had a lucky draw with my puzzle input.

If Apple delivers a defective device to the customer, I see no reason why they shouldn't be fixing it using the money the customer originally paid. A security vulnerability may eventually leave a device completely unusable.

Robert Miller, global director of books for the internet archive, stated in a documentary in 2013 that there had been an estimated 100 million books published in the world, that the archive had an initial target of 10 million, and that their book warehouse had space for 3 million. Based on those figures, 500k is a rather large number. Maybe some of those 500k are duplicate scans?

It's very distinctive on an elevation map.

I remember thinking there's no way that's not a crater.

One part of the proposal describes web servers getting information from attestors on the amount of activity coming from the user. And I imagine in the future web servers will contribute information back to the attestor indicating how likely they think the user is a bot based on their activity. I think, for sure, attestation accomplishes what it intends to. It's the end of the cat and mouse game. Tom catches and eats Jerry and there won't be a sequel.

I hope HN has a different blog post with its own take on WEI on the first page every day until the proposal is closed and Google publishes an apology and promises never to try this again. Maybe we can get Apple's web attestation removed too.
