> My argument is: even if DNSSEC were widely deployed tomorrow, we would still need HSTS. I'm right about that.

You are, but my argument is, even if HSTS reaches 100% adoption, we still need something else.

> That would be a crazy plan if DNSSEC did something to solve the CA problem. It doesn't. It adds a 1483rd CA to the trust model that is heavily influenced by NSA.

It's naïve to think the NSA don't already have keys to a whole bunch of trusted CAs. The NSA are irrelevant to this discussion. When it comes to rogue CAs or system compromise however, having 1 CA to trust is better than X hundred. And, iirc, current browsers rightly ignore HSTS/HPKP for self-signed certs without an additional trust anchor (like DNS pinning).

Around and around we go, avoiding the key point. It's all about who you want to trust.
If there is government intervention every time, naturally there is no reason for anyone to implement robustness measures.
Dave.com | Senior Full Stack & Front end Engineers | Los Angeles, CA | "Onsite" only, relocation available | Full time

Dave.com is building products banks won't to improve our customers' financial lives. We've built a mobile app that predicts your "lowest balance until payday" and offers a zero-interest paycheck advance as an alternative to paying an overdraft fee. As the job market is disintegrating around us, Dave is uniquely positioned to help our customers manage their finances and avert financial hardship.

In the last two years, we've grown from 10,000 users to 5,000,000 and 12 employees to 100 (engineering accounts for about 50%). We're well funded, cash flow positive, and growing quickly.

We're all WFH right now, but unfortunately still only looking for engineers who would be able to work on site in our LA office once the apocalypse is over.

We're looking for engineers to work on all parts of our stack (buzzwords include: Typescript, Node, React Native, MySQL, Spanner, Dataflow, and Google Cloud). If you're interested, please email me directly: dick@dave.com
No disagreement here - it could certainly break in the future, and is certainly not a solution anyone should rely on. However my reading of this is that it would have worked the same way like 20 years ago, so it’s probably not imminently at risk of working differently tomorrow.
I am a Frontend + Mobile Engineer with a passion for design, unit tests, and startups. Enjoys building things that matter with teams that care.

If you want voluntary targeted advertising, then read sites or sign up for newsletters that cover these topics. These sites can show you ads that are relevant for their audience, without having to track your activity.

Sites that are not niche specific (like newspapers) shouldn't try to microtarget each user. They lose control of the ads they show near their content, making them less relevant. I'm tired of reading news about the coronavirus crisis surrounded by Amazon's offers on some items I visited a month ago. I still think ads are better when they are somewhat related to the content you are reading, rather than to the user's past activity on other websites.
Or if you want to self-host. I'm not a huge fan of ceding my digital life to the likes of FAANG, even though I use their services a lot. Conversely, running my own infrastructure (DNS, email, etc.) is kind of a pain, and it'd be nice to apply the same kinds of personal force multipliers to my home setup that I use at work (config management, security benchmarks, automatic provisioning, version control, etc.)
That’s utterly unconvincing.

Zero-based indexing makes sense only in light of the underlying mechanics of memory address offsets (which, IIRC, isn’t even how eg C literally works). Natural numbers are counting numbers. It makes “more sense” that a sequence up to N contains N numbers, that is, its members can be put in a bijection with {1,...,N}

These are all conventions, of course. But the latter convention has a finer pedigree.

No. Paypal being unethical doesn't give the OP the right to be unethical.

There are people who are actually being discriminated against because they're gay.

Using it as a level because your site triggered a stupid 'phone sex' filter via user-generated-content is wrong.
This is a characteristic of your mains AC supply. You won't get a shock off things not connected to the mains AC earth (usually plugged in appliances and radiators/water pipes).
What makes you think it's reliable on a per-message basis now? It already has conflicts, and messages are regularly deemed-invalid and discarded.

> Because they are so complicated, they are unlikely to have evolved twice.

I don't get this argument at all. It seems obvious that most of the time an organism gains a property it immediately dies (or fails to pass it to its offspring). They have lots of tries, they're not special.

So: "Common ancestor" my arse. They insist on drawing these diagrams as trees when they are much more complicated graphs.
Facebook seems to me to be very slowly fading - fewer and friends in total take part.

The sad thing is that I see any specific replacement. No other social network has the same "public sphere" quality and whatever Facebook's other qualities, I miss this
financial services are getting more customized and the margins are getting thinner. clients also tend to care very little about the cleverness about the back end solutions and only about whether it works better than the alternatives and whether it is cheaper. time to market is very low, and the quality hurdle is your best competitor. this is just the nature of the sell side. and after all is said and done banks are huge organizations and it's hard to really stand out whether one is a salesperson or an innovator.
Yes. Or, google/apple have a payment structure between them, and it's just easier to aggregate usage and charge for it this way.

this doesn't really pass the smell test of "is there something fishy going on around here?"
Is this author serious? I don't consider answering emails, doing laundry, keeping the house clean, paying the bills on time or doing other tasks like going to the bank to be much harder than breathing or tying my shoes in the morning. These are simple necessary tasks. They are done routinely and can be done without much thought or effort. I'm seriously concerned for someone who has this much trouble with these basic parts of life.

Is this a mental disorder? or just laziness to a level I haven't seen?

I agree with the author's choice of title though. If I had to imagine someone who has trouble with such simple tasks, a child is what I imagine.
It's good to have on reference for our non-programmer friends, though.
As a laboratory mouse, if I had to die at the hands of any experimentation done in today's laboratory environment, I would have to say that this is probably the best way you could possibly go. Though an addition of little glow-sticks couldn't have hurt.

Realize you are in control. Track your behavior. Slowly make the numbers trend in a better direction. The hard part is being honest with yourself.
The 'maturity' part comes with doing things that need to get done, but aren't necessarily fun. Delegating those things to other people when you can afford it (or at least when your time is better spent elsewhere) is also part of maturity.

The 'lack of maturity' part comes from just ignoring those things because they aren't fun.
That is hilarious for this of us who remember life before Internet. :)
No, they're computer graphics (some elements are "verbatim quotes" from other items in Alex's portfolio, like the LED spectroscope on the 'pod), and no, that doesn't mean they're easier than, say, a one-off airbrush & pencils piece. Except, that is, that once a model has been created, it can be manipulated and duplicated (as in the six-Laptron "star").

It looks like there was a lot of back-and-forth between something like Illustrator, Photoshop and (probably) 3DSmax (the hooks to the Adobe stuff make it a good workflow tool). The lighting and shaders are well beyond anything I've ever been able to do, but there are little -- really tiny -- mistakes in some details (physical dimensions of real-world things us old folks are intimately familiar with that kids wouldn't notice) in his work that tell me these aren't physical mockups (the way we used to do it in the good old days). Still, there's a lot of work represented here.
Time value of money. $2000 in late 80s is a lot more than $2000 today.
This is indeed why people retreat to the safety of "platforms". It's Bruce Schneier's "feudalism" argument: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2012/12/feudal_sec.ht...

IMO the theoretically best way out of this is the user-owned cooperative, but there's very little traction for that.
How does the requirement to relocate to SF work for companies with a wet lab or specialized capital equipment requirement? And outside of mentoring/networking (can YC provide in the biotech space?), how is YC a better deal than an SBIR/STTR?
Curious how OP got this idea.

USA PATRIOT Act Sec. 1013 (a)(10), (b)(5,6) mentions research, distribution and stockpiling of vaccines but nothing about liability.

I don't understand. I am telling you what my actual experience was, and you are saying it must be a hyperbole because... you personally find it hard to believe? I've re-read your comment several times and all I can see is that you've added up the numbers and then just decided that they cannot possibly be true.

Your Helen of Troy put-down has nothing to do with my comment. If I were to say that I get hundreds of spam emails every day, it would be a statement of fact, not a claim that I am so rich that I make King Midas look destitute. You don't have to look like the most beautiful woman in history to get hit on, you just need to be conventionally attractive and physically present.

Yes, but my problem with meteor is that it's a whole package rather than pieces that I can just take what I need.
People outside of Michigan don't have any idea how brutal the 2008 recession was on Detroit. This story could be told thousands of times over.

A contributor to the problem was that property taxes didn't drop. A recent case about a house eviction revealed a $75,000 dollar house was bought for $25,000 in 2009. Good deal, right? The property taxes on that house stayed at $8000 a year and the buyer lost it. This tax policy just accelerated the decline of the city.
True; on the other hand, the Supreme Court didn't even deign to hear the Trump election challenges, so I think it's fair to wonder if they are really on the side of MAGA-style conservatives.

Time will tell if the courts prove to be an obstacle to the Biden admin, but I'll predict probably not (& that will be in contrast to the Trump admin).
I got to visit Guadalajara for work a few times and was blown away by it: a mega-city with mile after mile of factories, major CM's with enormous campuses, high skill educated workers, low cost of living. I got the feeling that it is on the verge of something great.
> But for a property owning corporation it is obviously a poor idea to invest in new apartments because that would reduce the value of the ones they already got.

That doesn't seem sensible to me. One additional unit of housing will reduce prices by some very small amount, but rake in quite a bit of cash for the company owning it, in the current housing climate in SF. Closer to some kind of sane equilibrium, those numbers might start to balance out, but right now they're pretty far apart.
I use NoScript as well (and I wish more people would) but to be fair I doubt the users who were part of the botnet even noticed it at all. It's only github who would've benefited from these users running NoScript.
I have a hard time understanding what "general problem" meant. It could mean "the existence of copyright", but the text is structured in contrast with patents, and ams6110 seems to say that the existence of patent protection is not the fundamental flaw but rather the threshold criteria for notability. So "general problem" doesn't seem to mean the bare existence of those monopolies but something more specific.

I didn't ask for qualifications because the implication is that "a period of protection" it simple. I focused mostly on that. The US Constitution says that copyright is for a limited time. Some people think that the current time is too short and want it to be "forever less one day". This is not allowed, so the current method is to keep extending copyrights, giving an effective infinite copyright period in the US.

A common view is that Disney wants to keep Mickey Mouse from entering the public domain. This is why the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act is sometimes pejoratively called the Mickey Mouse Protection Act.

So does "a period of protection" mean that the protection can be extended retrospectively? If so, is it okay for extensions for be applied indefinitely, to get an effectively infinite period of protection?

I agree with Karunamon in that even this 'simple' aspect is "causing more harm than good, and that they should be severely curtailed, if not outright abolished." (I'm for the 'severely curtailed' part.) Resolving that in the way that I think it should be is definitely not simple.
I think everyone's being a bit too harsh on the author here. For one, there's evidently a great bit of teaching material here, perfect for programmers who have started with jQuery and want to understand a bit more about javascript and how both work. Second, as hackers, many of us find value in simply understanding how things work, practising various techniques, etc. without there necessarily being an end production deliverable. Finally, there are clearly some cases (some kinds of embedded programming, maybe?) where the overheads of a general-purpose library may be too great, and bypassing it is preferable, particularly if a specific user agent can be targeted (or ignored!). So, yeah, no-one should just chuck jQuery away and start coding everything from scratch, but neither should we altogether dismiss a series of articles that has clearly been put together with some care and effort.
I imagine high. 911 calls.

The OP is proposing a system where savings decays over time, which creates incentive to spend your money quickly while it has value, hence consumerism. This effect already occurs to an extent via the FED's target inflation rate of 2% per annum. This strategy can also cause malinvestment. A person or company is more likely to make riskier investments rather than a certain loss. These risks often lead to economic bubbles. I see what the OP is trying to accomplish, but it would likely lead to a turbulent economy.
That would give the browser owners control over ad blocking behaviours, while they rely on funding from companies which sell ads. That's not a great situation for the users. The authors providing an unopinionated API for plugins is much safer.
That's the price tag I've seen before as well, which seems like the kind of investment that should have been made a decade ago.

I didn't have the stomach to read more about it, but someone in the DOE(?) in the last administration came up with a plan to improve the grid, but because some portion of that story involved renewable energy (thus lessening the need for coal) it was dropped like a hot potato.

(I could have some portion of that wrong; I simply get too depressed reading about that cesspool.)
Specs should be hard to read. They must be finely detailed and leave no ambiguity. Human "browseability" is what docs are for.

I understand now. Unfettered market freedom is the best way to organize things and at the same time, large-scale government intervention is an unfair competitive advantage.

> This fails to explain why everything moved to China and not Mexico or Brazil or India.

Of course, no industries moved from the US to Mexico, Brazil or India over the same period as China's rise.

> In other words it's completely different?

Yes, in the sense that a portion of massive Chinese government spending goes directly into producing things that people need, and almost all of massive US government spending goes into funding imperialist violence.

Plus and minus symbols at the beginning of a colored line have worked pretty well. It is a neat trick, but it is noisy.
I know someone who wrecked an Audi on a track day at Mosport Ontario and is 100% convinced it was due to a bad algorithm. He was coming out of a high-speed turn in a compression and started braking, and just about bent the pedal having to apply so much force, and yet went into the wall. Seems the ESC, which he had turned off (so some backup system engaged), thought the conditions matched ice, so overrode his pedal input and backed off the brake line pressure.

I'm also reminded of the manufacturer system that got a border patrol agent killed in a firefight in Mexico a few years ago. The security company that installed the bulletproofing and other upgrades didn't notice a trivial feature. The agent was ok until he stopped the car, then the doors automatically unlocked - dead.

Convenience can kill
Nope. lol Can start from a blank slate, one of their 500+ themes, a starter repo of your own or from your existing website. Stackbit's honestly pretty dope.

he just really doesn't want pussy willows on the cover.
He gives reduce as an example of "purely functional programs have no side effects and are thus trivially parallelizable.", but reduce by definition is not trivially parallelizable.
You can try Scala (especially if you know Java).
Thanks for the info! I haven't been on IRC so much recently and I've missed info about this on #lispgames. I probably won't have time to participate this time though :(.
Yes, it can! Scala:

def Cook(i1: String, i2: String, f: String => Unit) {
println("get the " + i1)
f(i1)
f(i2)
}

Cook("lobster", "water", x => println("pot " + x))
Cook("chicken", "coconut", x => println("boom " + x))

List(1,2,3).sum
List(1,2,3).mkString
List(1,2,3).map(println) // or more verbose List(1,2,3).map(x => println(x))
If you solve an unknown problem (ie. an issue nobody is concerned about) you will have a very hard time to market it and show people how they need it.

There were solutions for this Internet thing 50 years ago, even if it's hardly imaginable today. If the problem you are speaking about is communication we had that 2000 years ago, in form of smoke signals. It sucked and was dog slow but it was not an unknown problem.
Seems that the majority of people I follow do not list their location, so view these lists with that in mind.

Interesting choice. They desperately need a new sled. When she's not misdelivering my packages to other people, I feel terrible for my USPS mail carrier during the summer months. Those Grumman POS mail vehicles have no air conditioning. Being from Arizona, I didn't even know that was a thing, an actual configuration you could choose for a vehicle made after the Vietnam War. I think she plugs in a fan. I hope they get some kind of hardship pay when it's 95+ degrees out.

But... I have mixed feelings given their coercive monopoly status. It's actually illegal to offer mail delivery in the US. The USPS even raided corporate mailrooms in New York in the 2000s in an attempt to enforce the letter of the law re: urgent mail. The exception to their mail monopoly is urgent communication, which is why FedEx and UPS are able to offer overnight and 2/3-day express delivery, but not regular letter mail. That's the one category that the USPS doesn't have a monopoly on. So the USPS actually tried to determine – to judge itself – whether the stuff these companies were sending via FedEx and other competitors was in fact urgent. They opened people's overnight envelopes to try to evaluate the true urgency level manifested within, as if they could even begin to judge or assess that characteristic of other people's communications... Thankfully they sparked a big backlash and haven't pulled a stunt like that since.

There's nothing about mail or delivering stuff or logistics more broadly that would seem to require government involvement. There's nothing particular about government that makes it uniquely well suited to delivering mail. This should've been privatized from the very beginning. Britain privatized the Royal Mail, and there are lots of other examples of privatized mail carriers. Sometimes people object to the anticipated cost of mailing a letter to maybe a remote town, on the assumption that it would cost a lot more than the flat artificial stamp price today, but I don't understand the objection. If the natural or actual cost of something is X, why would anyone assert that they should be able to pay less than X?

Anyway, they took far too long to choose a new vehicle, and they'll probably overpay. A private company would be more responsible and disciplined. It reminds me of Lysander Spooner's American Letter Mail Company. He decided to try to compete with the USPS, and charged lower prices. They shut him down by force: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Letter_Mail_Company

It would be so fun to start a mail carrier in his honor. There are so many opportunities for innovation and creativity in mail and package delivery, and the vehicles could double as ice cream trucks on weekends.
Hillary Clinton along with Tipper Gore felt that the cause of societal ills in the 1990s were video games and rap. It was ridiculous and how we ended up with “explicit content” labels and absurdly bleeped out music recordings.

Clinton tried to blame the Columbine massacre on Doom much in the same way Dan White tried to excuse his assassination of Harvey Milk on Twinkies.

Around that time Tom Petty had a song censored, every time it played on MTV the word “joint” was replaced with indecipherable word-like sound.

Once the boomers have died off hopefully so will their insane need to resort to censorship instead of accepting personal and societal responsibility.
