In the end, you're really stuck between two places. Either you have something static, in which case it's got all the negatives of a static secret. Or, you have something dynamic, in which case you have to manage the infrastructure

I'm with you, except for the part where we trust the middle man to please-pretty-please-pinky-swear delete the key. That, to me, makes it weaker than a token approach. With the token approach, the intermediate value has such a short us

Isn't this roughly the idea behind Montessori method? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_education Also, math education in general has a huge problem around teaching solutions without teaching the problem. (

Aren't you basically just describing a more complex, weaker form of RSA SecurID hard tokens or Authenticator-app soft tokens? With a centralized API for validating a generated key vs identification details? EDIT: Thinking about this mo

The only thing I've ever seen actually work is a desktop environment. I did a proof of concept for the Coast Guard using Ozone [0]. It basically acts like a desktop, where widgets are individual frames that act like windows with cross-

This is removing forced arbitration. Parties can still agree to settle a case via arbitration. But now it will actually be an agreement between the two parties for a particular case, as opposed to a blanket contractual obligation with u

Congestion can also be caused by too little free capacity to even maintain that distance... Which is what typically happens where I live. There's a bridge with four lanes. Two of the lanes split off to an exit which includes another

As long as they are not near you, moving over is fine. If they are approaching you quickly and they are close, from a defensive driving perspective, you should probably stay put until the speed differential is reduced and can safely move o

Or, in other words, current coin offerings build workaround of such entities into their value proposition. But there's also a class of potential consumers for whom that might be an anti-value. JPMorgan seems like they're willing

The plants you are thinking of are F1 hybrids. Obviously wild trees are by definition not F1 hybrids.

That's part of the deal of being a corporation. If you want pass-through taxation, that's what partnerships and LLCs are for. Of course, if you also want outside investors... This is one of those instances where yes, of course i

This is how disabling apps in Android works also. There is a baseline version baked into the ROM, but any updates are installed into normal memory. Disabling the app removes the updates from normal memory, so when you enable the app again

Whatever Microsoft stuff was on there was probably added by the carrier. I purchased an unlocked S9 directly from Samsung and it did not have any Microsoft apps.

To be fair, while that's an accurate representation of the distances, it's not accurate of the difficulty. They don't have to deal with unpredictable atmosphere. There's reasons laser-guided missiles are about 1-2 meters

Can the F# compiler not convert a lambda to a single-function interface instance? Honest question. I'm mostly a Java guy, and I know that is how Java works under the hood because the JVM does not have the concept of delegates. But i

Especially when you start really planning meals around whatever is on sale that week and carrying ingredients from one meal to another, $10 per person per meal is definitely a lot. Also, pantry items where that $10 can get you a 5# bag of r

I think that's a pretty broad definition that wouldn't find much support. I think the words you used later, "critical thinking" or lack thereof, are much more apt.

At least 2008 had nothing to do with being good or bad at math. In fact, it kind of happened because of some rather fancy math. This article has been posted on HN multiple times: https://www.wired.com/2009/02/w

I thought the same. Wrap or burrito, though both have the problem that they can be closed at one or both ends, thus changing their category... The tweet screenshot from @Phosphatide has Japanese along the top, so I'm assuming that&#x2

OK I'm caught up with you now. Yes, I agree with this approach in such a scenario . I would just caution throwing out stuff like that as a casual note regarding testing without any context like you did. Examples like this should be

Also, at their distance, they don't really have to be that close in aiming. Their beam is plenty wide by the time it reaches Earth.

You're building a bit of a straw man. If you have 400 tests that fail with a single behavioural change, why are you testing the same thing 400 times? And you don't need an in depth investigation unless you didn't expect t

I'll take umbrage with your last point: "Look for invariants, and test those. Things that should always be true. Often times, there are multiple acceptable results - avoid exact-match tests when that happens (e.g. if you make a sp

There is a single cause of all unit-testing difficulty that I have ever seen: isolation . Functionality must be isolated to be testable. Examples: * You don't isolate side-effects, such as file creation. Now you must execute file cr

I'm guessing from your description that your lawn has probably largely reverted to less needy species. In which case, they don't need that maintenance to grow and you are probably beating that 8% pretty handily. My front lawn ri

Minor correction to your otherwise excellent final statement: "... or equivalently the total number of [ pages with ] typos in the 20,000 page book is between 0 and 300." We're not measuring the number of typos on a page, but
