No. The profound in "please accept my sorrow" is a comment on the depth of your sorrow, something that you are uniquely equipped to describe. "A profound apology follows:" is a comment on how I expect my reader to interp

Minimum wage sets a floor which affects wages close to it, too.

Blaming wage stickiness relative to prices is different than blaming inflation. And, outside unions and jobs with competitive labor markets, the best advocate for wage un-stickiness many workers have is government involvement via the minimu

If you have a bank account of almost zero, inflation can't possibly be stealing money from you (unless you also have gobs of cash under a mattress somewhere).

It takes a certain kind of person to declare that their own apology is "profound".

In Susan Fowler vs. 5.5 billion dollar company, why on earth would you suspect that Susan is the one contracting with reputation management firms?

I think you're talking about something else, because we should be designing for pedestrians to not be hit by cars, not making sure that pedestrians might survive the impact. At the same time, limiting modern cars to 25 mph everywhere i

Automated enforcement of speed limit violations would be fine, as long as our speed limits were adjusted for strict enforcement versus human enforcement. Almost everyone will drive 35-40 in a 30, but you could make a case that anyone breaki

Instead of buying internet points for someone who figured out a little hack to access journalism, maybe you could instead pay for journalism?

One time someone posted a "concurrency challenge", and I spent a couple minutes typing out the STM calls that solved it. They balked, for some combination of: that doesn't work in C++, you're not really following the spi

You haven't been looking very hard, this is a commercial 10Gbps system that does 7 kilometers in clear skies: http://artolink.com/page/why/ I was mainly referring to the hobby builds being able to do better.

If the devices could do 10Mbps in the '90s, a similar effort could do much better now. The range is tricky, especially in fog, but mountain to mountain links (single channel audio) have gone 173 miles.

There is a section called "integrity: not optional", where he uses MACs (which I would consider to be conceptually simpler to understand than AEADs) to explain how integrity can be implemented. Later, in a section called "Lev

The article recommends Chacha20 Poly1305, not some combination of primitives.

A lot of those criticisms are sort of unfair. For example, pointing out length extension attacks in a fabricated MAC construction not found in the article, especially when the OP explicitly recommends blake2b, which is not vulnerable to len

If you care enough to post canaries, shouldn't you also care enough to just close shop instead of subtly telling your users to stop using your services?

Ok, so Twitter can definitely ban some people from its website, but "Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences" taken at face value, is pretty terrifying, especially given how our president elect has responded to critic

Your example is different, because the isp in question would need to verify the absence of violations. AirBnb just needs to check the presence of a registration, much like a bar checks ids for <21.

Whisleblower protections typically don't have clauses that protect dumping a bunch of juicy, exciting tidbits so that people pay attention. You're informing the public of what they need to know, not making a Jason Bourne movie.

How do you decide what's environmental and what's chemical when everything in your brain is chemical, and you can't isolate the environment?
