Someone in the linked Github thread describes an attack where the attackers waited for the victim to use their Yubikey for an AWS login, giving the attackers access to AWS as well. I don't think hardware 2FA is safe against a RAT.
Can I offer you a prize of some sort for not thinking this is weird? Surely this accomplishment should be celebrated!
There are only facts and misunderstandings. Surprise and fun have no place in this world.
I use `xrandr --setmonitor` to create a fake monitor that only covers part of my screen. And I have some window manager setup to easily move my windows there (with awesomewm).
Did a rough calculation, it would be more like Edinburgh.
There's easily a century between the earliest accurate map of Edinburgh and the earliest accurate map of the world. And even at present, the accuracy of maps of Edinburgh is much greater than the accuracy of maps of the world.
So yeah, the whole world could be next. But the person you're replying to has a point when they say significant improvements are needed.
I'm not gonna fight you on that.
> You don't need to be upset that this isn't for you.
The person you're responding to does not seem upset to me.
You add an interesting perspective that some people want to find encouragement in these types of essays. And the personal jab just isn't necessary.
I was trying to compliment you! When you talk about your friend, about what you might ask him, and what he might answer, I think you have insight there. I think that's valuable.
And I should have stopped there. But I went on to try to make a point about the quick mental model you proposed about "talking at" vs "talking with". Which I think leads to arguing about semantics (with others or yourself).
What you're saying about the difference between the distribution of behaviors and utterances sounds reasonable to me (if a bit abstract). I just think the specific insight into your friend's behavior is a lot more valuable.
> When I imagine asking him, "What don't you ask questions about my life?" I assume I'd get a response something like, "You can tell me anything," or "I'm open to hearing what you want to talk about," or "You're free to talk about anything."
I think this is the insight!
> If I had to devise a quick mental model, it might seem like the difference between talking at someone vs talking with someone?
(And I think this is semantics.)
sponge buffers the whole input before writing the output. Its utility would be in reading from a file, working on it with other tools, and writing the result back to the original file, all in one line.

Wait, what?
Another example of unique human intelligence: drown in existential dread.
I can do that, you can do that, but will a computer be able to do it?

(If you don't want to click the link, there's a joke there that machines may have a hard time "being to cool to care about stuff.")
Consider the bugs a workaround for laptops with a fixed battery. ;-)
"outside the US cultural influence"Where is this magical place you speak of?
Both "extrovert" and "extravert" are correct. Contemporary language use does not always care about latin, however sorry I am for that.
But the author of this post goes even further, and uses both spellings in the same sentence!
In extravert-introvert pairs, extroverts report on greater closeness than introverts
That can't be right...
Ahem, the next president?
I'm so glad this arrived. Thanks Keybase! Finally we have proper identity backed secure chat! (Which is going to be my main use case.)
Sure, you're totally right. Except where you started your post with "This makes no sense." We all have different social requirements. For some people and in some situations it's awesome to be able to change things ad hoc, for other people and for other situations that just causes stress and discomfort.
Well, if there is a vulnerability for Nginx on Linux, you wouldn't say Linux had a vulnerability right? I think this situation might be similar.
I think you mean gender instead of sexuality. Gender is who you are, sexuality is who you like. (I'm replying to try to help, not to nitpick.)
To be fair, this thread started with someone describing the killing of maggots as "disturbing". It was never going to be a productive argument.
I think you're both right. It's okay to have them locally or on feature branches for communication and note taking purposes. But they should never live for any prolonged time in your production code.
In the secure aggregation paper (linked in the post:
http://eprint.iacr.org/2017/281 ) they indeed hint at the possibility of extracting information from the diffs. So the protocol they propose cryptographically ensures that the individual diffs can not be learned. They do this by having each pair of clients generate a secret the size of the diff, and have one add it to their diff and the other subtract it. The clients then send that result to the server where they are summed, which cancels out all the secrets. The bulk of the protocol then deals with setting up the secrets and dealing with client drop outs, which appears to be the real challenge.
Well, that's my fallible summary anyway, go read the paper. :-)
I just skimmed their secure aggregation paper (linked in the post), and while I'm no expert, I believe they can actually guarantee privacy. At least for the strong version they describe (there's also a weak one which requires trust in the server).
Edit, link to the paper: http://eprint.iacr.org/2017/281
So what you're saying is that the Streisand Effect is not a myth, it's just a rare occurence.
