Only a partial substitute.

Most of the middle class and up in the UK have a significant chunk of their wealth tied up in property (their own homes, then investment property), so not really.

That throws away entropy, but I suppose so long as very few hash collisions of a password are likely to be real passwords themselves it would be harmless.

Why are you migrating from Scala?

Wolfram don't make matlab. They make Mathematica.

You could do that with a wrapper around sftp, no?

It's a static file host with a nosql database and a text editor. There's a very clear migration path if you don't want to use their service.

What security reasons? You can totally have a secure sftp endpoint on your filehost.

Have you had a proper security review? I don't think you would have made that mistake with user-websites being able to log out the user if you had designed with security as an impo…

I meant control of the postal address, which is quite hard. A little harder than access to the physical debit card. Same for email and phone. Gaining control of the account.

> semi important I'd rate income inequality and poverty higher, personally.

If you want to extract strings from XML that arrives in a well-known format that meets certain expectations that may not be rigorous, then regexes can be fine.

Why are banks liquidating such huge assets without proper ID or delay? I guess people can't remember secrets, so you have to use something as a root of trust for password resets an…

When I last did mobile stuff, waking the radio was more expensive than many CPU ops.

The best real sorting algorithms are often hybrid. Would be nice to see mention of parallel sorting algorithms. These have basically linear speedup and you can do them on GPUs. Obv…

Sorting algorithm complexity and implementation is rote-learnt at this point. Hardly tells you much. Traditional technical interviews don't seem to help you find the best candidate…

It can put registration and private messages, etc, under their control. They they can raise their anti-spam bar arbitrarily high to block alt registrations and enforce bans. Sight …

KSP has gravity assist built in: it's an expected consequence of newtonian physics (Which KSP models). Mods might be to swap to the Solar rather than Kerbol system, etc.

Swiss law does not require shelters in all private dwellings, (you can pay a small amount at the time of construction for a place in a communal shelter) and I'm not sure that even …

I'm pretty sure you can define commutive and associative relations in Coq.

Ronald A. Howard has quite an interesting take on this situation in a conversation with Harris in the appendix. They both talk about lying as self-defence: > ... The next level is …

There is a relatively easy and proven way to eliminate Malaria already: Malaria was effectively eradicated in all but the poorest areas in the 1950s and 60s through vector manageme…

Sam Harris wrote a good short book on this topic: https://www.samharris.org/lying

You could, but that would be missing the point of the whole honesty exercise by using an overly restrictive definition of lying. In 'Lying', Sam Harris defines a lie as an intentio…
