[OT] Five Simple Rules
by Cecilia Tanaka 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

Most of all know about my love for fun subjects, like Law, comics, music, open data and Astronomy. Below, a small excerpt of Neil deGrasse Tyson's last speech in the new "Cosmos" series. It is really beautiful and inspiring not only for researchers, but for everybody who wants to search for truth. "How did we, tiny creatures living on that speck of dust, ever manage to figure out how to send spacecraft outer among the stars of the milky way? Only a few centuries ago, a mere second of the cosmic time. We knew nothing of where and when we were. Oblivious to the rest of the cosmos, we inhabited a kind of prison, a tiny universe bounded by a nutshell. How did we escape from the prison? It was the work of generation of searchers, who took 5 simple rules to heart. Question authority. No idea is true just because someone says so, including me. Think for yourself. Question yourself. Don't believe anything just because you want to. Believing something doesn't make it so. Test ideas, by the evidence gained from observation and experiment. If a favorite idea fails a well designed test, it's wrong. Get over it. Follow the evidence, were ever it leads. If you have no evidence, reserve judgement. And perhaps even the most important rule of all, remember you could be wrong. Even the best scientist have been wrong about somethings. Newton, Einstein, and ever other great scientist in history. They all made mistakes. Of course they did, their were human."

using gnupg with mutt
by Zenaan Harkness 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

Does anyone know how to have an automatic association between a pgp public key and a 'specified by me' email address? As in, some people create gpg keys which do not include their email address, and I would have thought it trivial for me, in my own keyring, to associate a public key I have received, with one or more email addresses of my choosing (and / or the person's name, as fair as I know the name etc). gpg --edit-key HASH brings up a prompt, and help gives things like trust and list, and there is a "notation" sub command which sounds perfect for the job, but can only operate on private keys, not public keys. This all does not make sense to me. When someone sends me an email, signed with their private key, and I get a copy of their public key, I should be able to associate their public key, with their email address, even if their own signing of their pub/sub public key does not include that particular (or any) email address. What gives? TIA

Nothing really important. I was just saying that you should not consider _only_ US military origins to judge if something is good or not. You can, but should not do it. I was also telling Mirimir that I don't like weapons. Had bad experiences with them.

It means that Samuel Jackson has a f*cking powerful voice, hihi... :) Hey, I am helping a MIT researcher with an open repository of lyrics, a pretty cute project! Would you like to help her?
