Reading "I am a cryptographer" got me wary, looking back at your comments, I see that you did this multiple times before and I've tried looking you up but I couldn't find anything that substantiates that claim, I've looked also for publications and couldn't find any so I am curious, what are your credentials?


We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13405043 and marked it off-topic.


I try to keep my resume to myself unless absolutely necessary because a) recruiters b) arguments to authority are damaging, but Crypto 101[0] is probably the most interesting public one. Other than that, being one of the founders and the resident cryptographer of PyCA and Latacora, also caesium and magicnonce specifically.

The silver lining in this exchange chain is that I got to download what looks like a great eBook on Cryptography 101 and a link for future reference. Thank you LVH.


Glad you liked it!

You are way out of line. LVH has formal postgrad academic cryptography training, in addition to being in fact a practicing cryptographer.

He said he didn't want to talk about his resume. That's a reasonable response, and you don't have the right to insult him because he wasn't responsive enough to your inquiry.

Further: I respect the need some people have for anonymity here, but I have a real problem when anonymous commenters cast these kinds of aspersions on people who actually sign their name to what they write.

We've gone far enough into personal attack territory, let's please stop here.

I think you completely misread that comment. He was just trying to say he wasn't involved but he has enough domain knowledge that he should be able (and is willing) to answer questions about the protocol. Not, "believe me when I say things because I'm a cryptographer."


It appears to have some inspiration from VOGL https://github.com/ValveSoftware which is Valve's OpenGL debugger.


This reflects your current status I presume? http://robots-everywhere.com/re_site/


Yeah. Was trying to not link that coz I don't want to spamvertise.


I see. Nitpicks: - The twitter icon on the top right points to @spiritplumber which has the name of a "Linda Camezon", a standard issue avatar and only 1 tweet which doesn't signify anything. - The text at the bottom of the website (in green) is unreadable given the background. - I couldn't find a careers section or the location of the company. - The videos are not professionally produced which gives the feel of an amateur effort not an established company.


Thanks!


These are called desginated initializers, they're part of C99.[0] This is a good read which discusses them and also devles into compound literals.[1]

How do you ship code when working with a team without communicating with them?


I'm not sure how you got from "less than half of engineers time spent on communication overhead" to "no communication whatsoever". Something is terribly broken if the people primarily responsible for execution take more time to communicate about a task than to actually do it.


I really would like to see a citation to back that claim "Automakers from around the world are rushing to set up offices in the Bay Area..."


HNers with US citizenship only I presume?


Yes. Since SpaceX deals with rockets that can potentially have ICBM capabilities workers need to be US citizens to conform to ITAR regulations


I guess so, every job listing at SpaceX I've seen is US citizen only. @mikesorrenti please prove me wrong :)


Would that not be illegal? Or is SpaceX required by law to do so?

The law prohibits employers from hiring only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents unless required to do so by law.

They are probably required to. Space launchers and intercontinental ballistic missiles are pretty much the same thing after all.


SpaceX is guiding rockets into space which I'm guessing is a lot like guiding missiles. SpaceX is probably required by law to guard some, if not most, of their technology.


there may be a need for clearance.


Firefox on Arch, same stuff.

Edit: Google Chrome works.


Great work! It might be cool if you could use voronoi diagrams to select the closest path to the mouse's position like the NYT did [0] because without really zooming in, the lines on some terrains appear to be very thin which makes hovering over a specific one a little harder.

There's also a great talk that discusses this from JSconf2014 [1]

Very cool list, thanks for sharing.
