Y'know, they really should invent a way to visit links quicker than copying and pasting the text into the URL bar.
The developers of BLAKE2 insist that even though the algorithm is faster, there are no loose ends when it comes to security.
Except for the fact that it's faster, as others have already pointed out. Oh, and, on the second point about there being no loose ends - I'll let six months and an army of cryptography geeks on the internet be the judge of that.
Question yourself - why do relative many people take effort to learn Dvorak, and a large amount of them state they don't want to go back? Is that because it's an inferior layout? Are all those people fooling themselves?
Post-hoc rationalisation. No-one likes to admit they've wasted weeks for nothing, and in more general terms people generally don't like admitting they're wrong about anything, and some will deny it until the cows come home.
I don't type on Dvorak because it's faster. I use it because i am _lazy_.
Then why did you bother learning it in the first place? Or were you raised in a strictly Dvorakian household?
They put one of those electrode caps on some guy, then flashed up satellite images of desert. Once trained, the system could spot the signs of something interesting being noticed - even to the point that the computer could tell when the guy had seen something interesting, even if he wasn't consciously aware of it.
If the "hockey-stick" curve were real, we should have the warmest year every year.
It's not a curve. It's a set of points on a graph which, when you smooth out the yearly fluctuations, shows a long-term trend (the clue is in the words) of increasing temperature.
By your logic I could declare that winter's over and we're in for an early spring if it's a degree warmer tomorrow than today.

Yeah, well, what have they ever done for us?

I'd have thought the demographic here was a tad more intelligent to be using Wintel rubbish.
Not sure about more intelligent, but they're certainly more condescending.
The compound also worked extremely quickly, killing off strains of bacteria in just an hour, while conventional antibiotics needed six.
Will those strains of bacteria also evolve six times quicker due to the greater selection pressure?
It does, but they cost more to develop. Times are tight.
Oh, good comeback. Bravo.
"That's one small step for [a] man [static] YOU SHOULD KILL US ALL ON SIGHT [static], one giant leap for mankind."
I bet the government is giving them tax breaks for implementing it.
I bet they're not.
Actually it's "LEGO," mass noun, ffs.
"These things are gold," Jeff says.
A huge mistake in that comparison.
But a fairly reasonable metaphor (as far as Jeff's opinion goes), which is all it is.
How nice to be in a position to storm out of job interviews. Some people have it a little tougher than that these days.
News. Stuff.
What's frequency-based 3D?

First it was the sex offenders being mapped using public records, not it seems to be gun owners — I wonder who will be next?
Slashdot editors?
Homeland security?

DVORAK should help improve typing speed, but at the cost of a lot of re-training.

Why is 'because holocaust' acceptable to defend deplorable acts of the Israeli government
Who's saying it is?
the deplorable acts of a minority of people with a darker skin tone than their European cousins?
Which acts by the descendants of slaves are you thinking of?
will not be even dislosed to the owner of the website
And a few consonants will be removed.
more stringent background checks
How about "Are there any crazy people living in your house?"
How much is that per jiggawatt?
