Worth pointing out that Schwab actually has lower fees than Vanguard for many of their index funds. Who knows if it will stay that way with the different ownership structure, however.

Why use the ETFs? You're paying spread and front-runners, and have to deal with cumbersome atomic shares. Use the very excellent underlying mutual funds that are free to trade on Schwab's platform.

There are two forms of length extension, one where the attacker does know those bits. SHA-512/256 doesn't protect against that. (HMAC does, I believe.)

How is SHA-512/256 not vulnerable to length extension attacks? I've implemented the SHA family of hash functions before and the only real difference between the two is block size and truncation of output, but I don't see how

Absolutely unbelievable. It is just unconscionable to require handing over this sort of information. How do we stop this madness? Watch while China reciprocates and see how much US business travelers like that.

Having actually eaten a bug before (yay Boy Scout survival badge), I'm going to remember that one. The follow-through will impress people but it's not actually dangerous or even that unhygenic (as long as you eat the right bug).

2X% actually (I remember watching it in real time), but the point stands as it was way higher than anyone else thought.

Replying here because you said most of the things I was going to say. This article just makes me sad -- Keccak was chosen for SHA-3 specifically because it turned out SHA-2 wasn't as broken as we feared, and although slow Keccak brings

There's a little button that rewinds 30s for when you've absent mindlessly not been paying attention. The trouble is you go back too far and then your mind wanders again while you are waiting to catch up :P

Really depends on the narrator. Some are actual accomplished stage actors who invest a lot of preparatory time into the book they narrate, developing the sound of each character and reading between the lines to extract the right emotional c

Another trick is audiobooks. I commute about an hour each day. I used to spend that time listening to the news, but that just made me needlessly stressed. I started listening to audiobooks instead and can now get through one major novel a m

Yes but it can actually cause problems if the board approves a lower price than the 409a valuation. He has some leverage in that respect, especially if his sale of shares can be worked into the funding round.

Those are all good reasons to negotiate a larger settlement.

I mean encryption of data as it is generated, in a single pass. This entire message is not known, so unless I am misunderstanding, it is not possible to do per-message deterministic nonce generation.

Natural language can be incredibly imprecise though. I expect the ideal UI for AI will meet somewhere in the middle with something that combines the best of programming languages with the specificity and ease of use of natural language -- t

The hashing power creates trust in settlement. Much of the financial industry is also about trusted settlement through other means. They are in fact quite comparable in that sense.

Existing trust-based financial infrastructure is extremely wasteful too.

No, a lot of it happens in Sichuan province specifically, because of the availability of hydroelectric power. Also Washington state for the same reason.

The fact that this county tax is paid by the leaseholder not the property owner is what was missing from the context. (And it boggles my mind why this is the case.)
