And our political problems will be a non-issue, too, when we invent new political structures and modes of governance that improve well-being for every human on earth 100x compared to today while allowing a 100x reduction in labor. Best not to worry about today's political problems, then.
Proper security may be hard, but election security is at the level of someone running a 5-year-old Android phone which no longer receives security updates.

Seriously.

It's tone deaf to one side, but I'm pretty scared since the other side has, just as wrongheadedly, convinced itself these systems work. I'm not worried about 50,000 votes stolen due to doublevoting somewhere or a mailtruck of votes getting lost. If victory falls on the 50.1% mark versus the 49.9% mark, that's okay. I'm worried because we have a system which IS exploitable and which WILL be exploited, if it hasn't already been.

Rigging US elections has incredible ROI for any foreign state actor, and simply isn't hard.

For the record, I made equally tone deaf comments when 9/11 happened and when COVID19 was in its early days. Now, they're common sense to most people. I don't want to wait for Russia, China, or North Korea to pick our next president before we do something.

Open source, transparency, and auditability won't solve the problem 100%, but they'll prevent most types of gross, blatant rigging. Cryptographic voting algorithms or paper trails will get us much of the rest of the way there. We don't need perfect security, but we need to be in a place where a single point of compromise can't break our democracy.

My understanding is that "because it took a whole PhD thesis to come up with, it must take a lot of effort to understand".

But I don't think that holds up. Much like the "if I had more time I'd have written a shorter letter", it can often take effort and skill to make a thing smaller and easier to understand.
If you wait two weeks to announce the names it might be a bit harder to write the pardons.
Practically every white-collar worker that I know (barring some security folks) has a linkedin account. It's certainly the norm in my circles.
Not out of the box, but easy enough to set up whatever scheme you would like. You can set up virtual asset accounts, or you can constrain things with liability accounts, etc.
To expand a bit on the issues of the solution above, the problem with WebDav/Delta-V is that very few servers and very few clients suport it and it is also dificult to find documentation on whehter it is or isn't supported by a piece of software.

Unfortunately, rust does not have numeric types outside the special case baked in arrays, so it cannot do that yet afaik. There is a ticket for it, but it needs work.

It might also help if you start taking code challenges on any site like freecodecamp [1]. You can pick any series of lessons and it will help you to gain hands-on experience while learning step by step.

Once you feel confident, start making your personal website or online resume. You can keep all the source code on some public website like github. It will also be handy while sending your code samples to potential employers.

It's not hatred and it's not against your country.

It's distrust of your government.

There is an enormous amount of respect and fascination with China and its history, culture and people. Your current government is wasting that.

China was going in a positive direction until Xi Jinping.
I think you should adopt your "moderate with a light touch on sensitive YC-affecting topics" tactics for this thread.
DroneBL administrator here! DroneBL does list many classes of abusive IPs, although most of our listings originate from IRC (as opposed to, say, Project Honeypot, which sources them from web spam). That said, though, it's apparently very popular to abuse IRC with open proxies, "free" VPNs, and many other sources of rotatable IPs, most of which overlap with what website administrators deal with. I am aware of a few sites that use DroneBL to measurably reduce abuse.

Note, however, that you may find our listing coverage lacking for web-only issues, such as WordPress pingback spammers, forum spammers (not using a proxy or VPN), etc. Especially in comparison to something like Project Honeypot.

A layered defense is the best defense. Firewalling, application hardening, rate-limits, hellbans, risk-scoring, etc., especially in combination with a blacklist, can significantly frustrate and discourage attackers and spammers. No single measure (other than extensive manual moderation queues) will prevent abuse entirely, but the more roadblocks you put up, the more likely the abuser is to give up.
“Internet adoption” is the phrase that recurs in the linked article.

The claim was that if you accept a false premise, you can prove any false thing to be true. What we've actually seen is random claiming of contradictory things that supposedly follow by people trying to appear clever. It so obviously doesn't follow that it's a little strange we are having this conversation. If the conclusions themselves can be seen to be contradictory, anyone can dismantle your proof and show that it's bogus, even if you do accept the original premise. So the claim is bogus, and it's probably not a real story anyway.
But people are, too! You only need to talk to my grandmother for 5 minutes and I swear you'll get to hear how bad the CDU is as a party.

I've setup a social media account for TubeShift at Gab which you can find here https://gab.com/tubeshift

I setup a Twitter account too though it's really only out of morbid curiosity. I ran into my first bit of censorship on my third post! I was unable to submit a link to a funny video where YouTube is acting like a thug demanding a content creator censor themselves. The Tweet was rejected as being "potentially harmful content" - I'm not exactly sure what it's harming except the reputation of companies that like to censor. https://twitter.com/TubeShiftPlugin/status/13796110972594053...

Here's the video on BitChute - be careful though Twitter thinks this is harmful. https://www.bitchute.com/video/25cQBXfjgpLo/
This is a terrible decision.

Feature bloat is one of the worst things for a security conscious product. The more features, the more attack vectors. Nobody asked for payments in Signal. Where did this idea come from? It was never put forward prior to this, it was never on the road map. That only makes me even more suspicious of this decision, which leads to my second point...

MobileCoin has all the appearances of a scam. 85% of the coin is owned by the creators. The price rapidly shot up at the end of March. The social media of the developers was posting rubbish for a long period of time. There was no mention of this collaboration beforehand. This has all the hallmarks of a pump and dump. Have the Signal devs been duped? Or are they wanting to cash in on Signal's rising popularity?

Anybody at all with an interest in Signal needs to let the foundation know that this Beta needs to be scrapped, and that payments should never be added.
There's no shortage of talent. If there was a shortage we would see real indicators of a shortage like increasing average salaries across the field, training programs, etc.

Instead employers consistently use bullshit to filter, puzzles without any relation to the job, etc in their hiring. That's a strong indicator that there's no shortage. If employers are making up things to filter candidates, then they have too many options.

If I had to guess, this is probably just more propaganda from the large tech companies to get more people into the field and an increased visa cap, so they can drive down wages.
I think the point is that email signup would be preferable for those who don't want to give it their personal phone number.
Of course you don't have to like it, so vote with your wallet. There is choice in the marketplace whether it be smartphones or inkjet printers.
Look at it the other way around. If you want an iPhone, you have essentially one from factor to chose from. If you don't like it, tough. With Android I can pick the hardware features I want, screen size, processor speed and battery life, camera quality, hardware keyboard etc. etc. and then pick up the phone that fulfils my requirement list.

Basically it all depends which approach you take to buying a phone. Do you start with an OS requirement or do you start with a set of hardware and form-factor requirements.

How often are stream truncated at the start? In my career, I've seen plenty of end truncation, but start truncation never happens. Or, to be more precise, it only happens if previous decoding is already borked. If a previous decoding read too much data, then even UTF-8 is borked. You could be decoding UTF-8 from the bits of any follow-up data.

Even for pure text data, if a previous field was over-read (the only plausible way to have start-truncation), then you probably are decoding incorrect data from then on.

IOW, this upside is both ludicrously improbable and much more damning to the decoding than simply be able to skip a character.
I think it’s a little more complicated than your wording.

We don’t go all the way to first principles on every topic, so we have to make decisions about who to trust and when. We tend to trust people like us. When there were still gatekeepers, the sheer number of stupid opinions and fringe paranoia was rare for us to be exposed to. Now those things are two clicks away and they tend to be recommended by engagement-focused algorithms.

Confirmation bias is a very strong force, but before we have an opinion on a topic, we look towards trusted authorities. Sadly our crazy conspiracy/paranoia uncles are greatly trusted in recent years.
Is that right? My understanding is the physical AppleCard has a fixed number that is simply not printed and relies on rotating CVV via the standard chip reading like most standard chip cards. The device-based ApplePay can rotate its number but that too only rotates CVV by default.
The problem with incoming recessions is if everyone expects them, then everyone knows they are coming, so they price it in, then they go “well, we priced that in, so now we can go back to business as usual.”

It’s a reflexive system.

Honestly- unless something has demonstrably “broken,” such as Lehman or AIG collapsing, then nothing systemically has actually changed.

There is so much nonsense and speculative Austrian economic discourse every time the market hits a speed bump that you can’t actually rely on anything anyone says.

Here is the real test for you: “have you seen any major institutions fail, implode or go under?”

If not, we aren’t in trouble yet. The stock market and economy have incredible ability to make adjustments, rebalance and repair themselves when provided information and time.

Yes the federal reserve will raise interest rates.

But that doesn’t mean the entire economy will implode. It might just mean that resources are allocated from some sectors to others.

This information is almost entirely priced in now. Unless more surprises occur (unexpected rate hikes or rate hikes happening too fast, or more rate hikes announced or institutions randomly imploding because debt burdens too high, or Russia invades Ukraine) we are probably ok.

And then again; the federal reserve is not a passive actor. They might announce a rate increase, watch what happens, then change their minds if things correct too far.

Suddenly your Peter Schiff scenario changes under your feet as the federal reserve unleashes the flood gates after allowing a calculated cooling off in speculation.

So that’s it: Has anything failed yet? Any imploding banks? Did Russia invade? If not, we aren’t in crisis mode yet so just chill out and watch.

If you are worried about a crisis; watch for institutional failure as your signal that real crisis has arrived. Everything else is just hot air.
We integrate the tunnels with CFs load balancer service which basically lets us route traffic to one or more kubernetes clusters. Right now it’s just for failover where we can repoint a zone from one cluster to another but we’re also looking to route traffic geographically.

One of the great things about cloudflare tunnels is that even without load balancer we can send requests to multiple clusters if we want to.

Makes it really easy to replicate stateless services like ingress gateways.
Can you power through another year - just 12 more months - this time saving as much as absolutely possible, so that you can better weather whatever comes your way. Write the goal down - save $xxx or leave in 12 months. Track the goal. See if you still want to leave once you hit the goal.
That sounds very depressing TBH.

With 70k passive I could retire in Hungary. Just by having $150k in your bank account would give you 5-8 years of runway in Budapest to live a very good life.
>What is a truck?

Generally, it's been something with a large bed structure behind the cabin.

When design edges the cabin perimeter further encroached into the 'bed' space, the ratio of 'car or truck' gets pushed further to the car side.

The Chevrolet Avalanche or Honda Ridgeline would be other examples of vehicles that have played with that boundary before.

Hi, OP chiming in...

We've come to realization that we need to move away from "per seat" licensing.

Whilst metered pricing would seem to be the most balanced approach, there are too many general, and industry specific cons to make it workable.

Has anyone been in this position before? Can you tell us how you moved to a different pricing strategy? Did you end up making less per customer?

Any advice/anecdata would be great.
Additional housing would even pay itself back on its own. Yes the government would take on debt but it would also receive rent payments that pay the debt off. The economic benefit of more housing in large cities is undeniable. Lots of people move to the city to work there, the end result is that you have employed both the construction industry and the future resident. There would be a net tax gain even though its a jobs stimulus program.
I still use it. I always hear these raving praises for IntelliJ so I guess I have to force myself to move to IntelliJ. I tried a couple of times, but always fell back to Eclipse due to familiarity.

What do you think is the biggest difference between the two?
You could account for billions of years in terms of money. Where as destroying things in a thousand because that is our business horizon is much more likely, and actually it's more like a year or two from current business practices, maybe a decade for long term thinking. If our business horizon was a billion years, then all the money and economic wealth in the world and quality of life indicators, and jobs would be so minuscule as to be a rounding error.
From a user perspective it is better for me to have one invoice from Shopify, in the right format with all necessary information and with additional tax documents required by law.

If I had to set up payments for each extension and go through gathering invoices and documents it would be devastating.

So as long as I understand the author I also understand why Shopify wants the billing API to be used.

Also easy pay = more users ...
You are right overall but the smartphone does not inspire tinkering at any level. It feels closer to the TV to me than the computer. Computers used to be boxes which, even non-developers, would open up and upgrade RAM, HDD, etc.

That encouraged tinkering to a high degree. I remember having lengthy talks about what components to use to build a PC with gamers or videgraphers. The more computers become a closed box which can not be opened, casual onlookers will have no reason to even configure them.

The industry is simply not giving people a box to open.
>For years that label was not working because many areas were experiencing record low temperatures which kind of made the "Global Warming" advocates all look a bit silly.

Demonstrably false. Both terms are equally old and their level of usage has not markedly changed over the years in scientific literature.

>I am on the fence as far as "Global Warming" is concerned

Not suprising; you're giving unwarranted credence to claims whose origins are fossil fuel lobbyists and spin doctors. The scientific community is practically unanimous about the reality of global warming.

I don't know if true, but here I heard rumours it is basically like this: the company needs to restructure, everybody knows it, but there is too much Powerplay inside the company to agree on anything (like the manager doesn't want to tell his team of 200 people that their department is history). So as a compromise it is agreed to hire a consulting firm to reshape the company for the 22nd century, with the agreement to implement their advise.

So what the consulting company then does is trying to find out what the stakeholders really want and write it in their recommendation.

I dont really know if I shd believe that, but at least it also explains why a consulting firm can recommend one year one thing, and next year the opposite for the same company (interest of stakeholders changed)
In the case of OpenVPN -- can anyone confirm if this is mitigated simply by requiring a ta key? I believe it would, as the server won't move to the next step and process certificates/keys unless the ta key is accepted.
While this is interesting research, I hope they would use their time to focus on how to get these benefits without the exercise part. It's pretty clear at this point that no matter what people will not exercise, no matter how many times we hear about how smart it is.

From the video it appears they are using 2 (or more) Pro-7b 1200 units, each delivering 1200 Joules of energy per flash. That's enough to light a 40-watt bulb for a full minute, and the lighting efficiency is considerably higher.

BTW, the Pro-7b is a rather small battery-powered flash unit. The bigger mains-powered ones pack twice the energy (and have much shorter cycle times).

Maybe best not to call it just "ATLAS" since ATLAS stands for Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, and it will find a bunch of comets.

> I think you're paying too much attention to Trump and politics

not at all. there are plenty of things wrong beyond him, and i have personally been dealing with the outbreak for months. i don't think you or most understand how some of the government's inaction has truly got us to where we are today and has been harmful. everyone complaining about a less than week long "quarantine" hasn't dealt with this for two months. that being said, one can also not ignore trump and the sycophantic government. he is blatantly misleading people and is ridiculing china for no reason. it's childish and petulent and extremely harmful in the long. we have a senator that says "gag and vote for it anyway" to provide support for people. that tells you the sentiment. and these are things they say in public! it amounts to treason in my book. you cannot ignore the massive narcissitic nature of our "leaders".

> IMO, that is naive and optimistic.

it was hyperbole, although it does have a ring of truth to it. the point is that our enemy is not complex, and as with most things, the true enemy is ourselves. humans laud ourselves for being above animals and our ability to predict the future. however, we don't. we have very short term views and rarely deal with something unless it is right on our doorstep. i don't care about the reaction afterward. it isn't good enough to be this way.

and the idea is that there are far deeper problems than just dealing with and reacting to viral outbreaks when they happen. a more organized society could start preventing or reducing the frequency of the outbreaks in the first place, although i doubt we ever get there.
