How is this better than AES-CMAC? Quantum only affects asymmetric cypher's mainly used for key distribution as far as I know. Symmetric cypher's like AES should be unaffected if you just up the number of bits a bit.
Code signing as a practical matter to be useful requires asymmetric encryption.
It's not opinion and the facts are not hard to find for anyone who can be bothered to look for even 20 seconds on Google. Sexism is quite real and it is distressingly common in the field of physics and many other branches of science. It's ironic that you ask for evidence of sexism in an article about a guy who was fired because he (apparently) exhibited sexism publicly. If that isn't evidence I'm not quite sure you understand the meaning of the term.
His presentation provided data to support his position. In contrast you are offering nothing.
You didn't even bother to read his presentation. Had you have bothered to do so you would have noticed the sentence cited in the headline occurs under the heading "discrimination against women".
BTW the very next slide includes the heading "discrimination against men".
the inflection MEN or MAN? I can't tell from the context.
It's "men" under a slide with heading "discrimination against women". The very next slide has heading "discrimination against men".
People publishing media accounts of this crap with intentionally misleading exerts simply to stoke public outrage in order to rack up views for profit are the ones we should all be "outraged" at and demanding resignations from.
Many physicists however are definitely sexist against women. Not all but enough to be a real problem.
Many physicists however are definitely against Italians. Not all but enough to be a real problem.
Stating opinion without proffering evidence for your position or even bothering to characterize it in an objectively unambiguous manner can be quite a bit of fun.
I really wish I'd live long enough to see our species evolve past all the tendency to violence, racism, sexism, bigotry, wilful ignorance, superstitious
I would say "willful ignorance" is not having even bothered to read the presentation.
nonsense, and all the other stupid crap that we, as a species, seem to be infected with, but as-is I'm not even so sure the human species will manage to survive to see the year 2100, when even the greatest minds among us aren't immune to all the above.
LOL you are being played by outraged fueled media simply to make money.
Ah, but you are pinpointing it right there! It is more hassle than you want, why? If we could fix that problem, so that it wouldn't be more hassle to have it on your own webserver, then what would you do? And that's like iteration 1 of Solid, we're separating those apps from the data, so that you can have your data on your webserver, but you can use any calendar app you want.
Surely you jest. Anyone can do this today using iCalendar because the interfaces are standardized. Every calendaring system worth using today supports iCalendar URLs out of the box.
The problem isn't web servers, where data is stored, level of centralization, authentication, authorization, access controls or any such thing. The problem is lack of interoperability due to failure to coordinate and agree on data formats and schemas. It's easy to create a system to scratch a particular itch. It's another matter entirely to get everyone who matters to agree on what is actually necessary to ensure meaningful interoperability.
For example REST was sold as a means of improving interoperability. That never happened. In fact the proliferation of nonsensical Verbs and arbitrary hierarchies expressed in URLs that nobody could predict much less agree on unnecessarily increased complexity and reduced interoperability.
That way, companies will be competing to create the best apps, not to suck your data out of you.
Interesting assumption given widespread existence of counter-examples.
Take SMTP email for example. Google now reads something close to a billion users emails. It used to be everyone used an app to read and compose email and mail servers were fairly decentralized. Today decentralization is rapidly unraveling and browsers rather than apps are used while everyone's privacy is still being raped.
So, Solid is about making the infrastructure and the ecosystem to make sure that all those things aren't a hassle, they will be your preferred way to do it.
http is the last technology I would ever consider for data tier access even if only used for transport to say nothing of actually leveraging nonsensical HTTP verbs and associated REST baggage. This heap of crap is completely unsuitable for the task at hand.
So, Solid is doing a massive shift on where the intelligence will be. It will be mostly on the client. The server side will be pretty simple.
More likely for anything non-trivial it'll be a "massive shift" to middleware.
So, in the way it is working in browsers now, is the simple CORS restrictions. It is pretty broken, but it is what we have. So, we're making some hacks to identify web apps. And then, you can assign privileges to them. Since they are running on your device, the security of your browser applies to them.
CORS are constraints commanded by servers enforced by clients. They flow from the server not the browser.
Still, it doesn't mean that you can necessarily trust them, of course, but then, this is a social technology, so we could establish a Web of Trust around that. We're thinking a lot about that.
Given the ratio of garbage to signal on the Internet I wouldn't trust a "web of trust" any more than I could throw it.
Spent some time on solid website. It certainly appears to be compliant with all modern standards.
1. Talks about how important privacy is while using Google Analytics 2. Massive fonts 3. Jackpot scrolling 4. Low information content that leaves the reader guessing what you are talking about. 5. Piling on armies of crappy framework over another until something notably unremarkable is achieved.
"Solid is a set of modular specifications, which build on, and extend the founding technology of the world wide web (HTTP, REST, HTML). They are 100% backwards compatible with the existing web. "
"At its core, Linked Data is really simple: every piece of data gets its own HTTP URL on the Web, and we use those URLs to refer to those them. So if your photo is identified by https://yourpod.solid/photos/b..., then my comment at https://mypod.solid/comments/3... will link back to that URL."
"PODs are like secure USB sticks for the Web, that you can access from anywhere. When you give others access to parts of your POD, they can react to your photos and share their memories with you. You decide which things apps and people can see."
Social justice is about recognizing how the mechanisms of privilege influence outcomes in our society, if you are a cishet white male, you have benefits that are denied to others simply for their sex, skin, color, etc. and these things need to be accounted for in order to achieve a fair society.
SJWs have no interest in lifting anyone up. They are only interested in shouting down. They serve no constructive purpose.
Huh? Just what are you on about? You don't need much of a beast at all to achieve a far better VR experience than a GearVR. If you can't get your Rift running on a 6 year old computer with a semi modern but still cheap GPU you're doing something fundamentally wrong.
Assuming people have a rift capable desktop PC in the first place is a mistake.
Many people I know only have laptops if they have PCs at all.
You get nauseous using a 3DOF HMD?
YES. It's a gross feeling moving your head/body and nothing changing around you. There is no fun in that. GearVR is garbage.
Just as well you identified your sensitivity before you parted with real money.
This is backwards. The problem goes away when you spend more money on a real HMD.
blah blah blah blah blah Lol, ok buddy. You seem to have some pretty strong views about this. And as far as the community going back to however you percieve it to have been in whatever golden age, well, wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up first. Change with the times, or they will leave you behind. Period, the end.
How can these statements be falsified?
After the Hindenburg disaster of 1933 was it time to get on board with genocide because...well... I wouldn't want to be left behind? Heil Hitler.
Being anti-social and lacking empathy doesn't make you a better coder, it makes you an asshole.
I often wonder if those people crying foul acting all outraged and offended all the time ever even bother to listen to themselves while spewing their own hate filled intolerant gibberish.
You are passing judgment and calling people assholes. What the fuck does that make you? A nice person? Are you god?
You can be both; a good coder and a good person.
Torvalds is a better person than you will ever be.
Being deficient in a healthy human emotion shouldn't be a badge of honor.
Please let everyone know what emotions are healthy and which ones are not. We wouldn't want to be deemed to be deficient in anything by yourself... god forbid.
If you can behave to the standards which would be required in literally any professional workplace in 2018, you don't need to be involved.
Well said emperor Jahoda. Obviously "professional workplace" is some kind of standard open source must follow... because?..??.. well.. obviously... because you say so!!
Will you by decree force open source members to write documentation? Order them to work on anything other than what they damn well please? Are you to interview contributors making sure they meet education and background requirements? Will there be drug testing? Will they be forced to participate in meetings or else face dismissal? Will you verify identity? Exclude old people from working on projects? Many professional workplaces conduct regular performance reviews. Are you going to do that as well? If I don't meet expectations on my performance reviews or my drug test does not come back clean will I be banned from contributing?
If you can't do that, there are plenty of forums to write angry posts about SJWs while you wrote your own OS.
Fragmentation is exactly what you can expect from open source projects and communities when unnecessary politics are injected. More forks, less coordination, less interoperability.
Some people look at code of conduct and what they see is oppression and intolerance. They see cowardly people who would rather censure and silence others than tolerate utterances they themselves find offensive, disagree or could possibly "offend" or "trigger" someone somehow. To them codes of conduct are disappointing, dangerous and contrary to the values of free society.
Don't be absurd. Most of the contributions are through companies, and for the benefit of companies. The level of SJW outrage is pretty minimal as there are almost no SJWs of the boogey-man definition people seem to have (as it is mostly a reds-under-the-bed fantasy), let alone involved in the Linux kernel.
In my experience "companies" can lead to some pretty nasty outcomes with some or all parties acting like children especially in standards work.
Organizations can have unaligned agendas. Sometimes management will get involved and "lean" on technical people or attempt "ballot stuffing" resulting in unpleasant situations all around.
This naturally is rarely an issue when companies contribute code specific to their hardware or address bugs. There is rarely contention in these activities.
Where issues creep up is with design of certain abstractions / interfaces that could play to the strengths or weaknesses of certain vendors either providing more work for some or technical advantage due to architectural considerations. Often someone is already shipping product with it working one way and they will do or say anything to not have to be the one to change.
I've personally witnessed SJW bullshit fly as people (all employed and acting on behalf of corporations) attempt to try and score points by playing victim asserting the other guy hurt their feelings. The experiences are partially why I firmly believe the only policy should be one that maximizes tolerance. The less sharp objects for children to throw at each other the better.

No it can't.
How would that not break symmetric encryption too?

Indeed civilized society is built on the capacity for empathy.
Keep dreaming. Society is run by sociopaths.
Here's a simple code of conduct that anyone can follow that only has 3 rules:
1. Don't be an asshole
2. If someone is being an asshole, tell them to stop being an asshole
3. If someone tells you to stop being an asshole, stop being an asshole
You are an asshole. Please stop being an asshole.
Follow this simple code of conduct and suddenly things get a lot nicer.
Things suddenly get a lot nicer when people stop judging others and instead learn to tolerate them.
Based on what?
Based on the same standard of objective evidence as original assertion?
I know a few Rift owners. They all used cheaper setups like a gateway drug.
They purchased PCs capable of playing Rift based on their experience with cheaper HMDs? Like what? Cardboards? Smartphones?
I can buy someone trying Rift and then purchasing a system capable of running it. I've seen it happen myself.
What I can't imagine is anyone trying a smartphone barf machine with last century graphics and decide based on that to go get themselves a Rift.
I'm a GearVR user myself using ALVR to stream from my PC to the headset and I'm eagerly watching the developments in the higher end.
My personal opinion 3DOF HMDs should not count as VR or even be sold.
Hard to imagine anything that would make someone more nauseous and stand a better chance of forever turning them off to VR.
It's a great and necessary step forward.
Get enough users that major creators like rockstar, blizzard, supercell, etc start to develop games for VR.
More vendors pumping out smartphone quality VR software sounds like a step backwards.
Get these new people addicted to VR with the Quest and then they'll be lining up for the premium experience when generation 2 rift is released.
No they won't.
