Is this similar to One Time Secret? I worked somewhere where the security team spun up a self hosted instance of it and we used it to share secure data like this. Sad thing is, it hasn’t been updated in a while and I can’t seem to get it to work. Wondering if anyone else has used sharelock, or knows of another service like this I can host for work?
I think you’re off by an order of magnitude. Mammoths were around as recently as 4,000 years ago. For reference that’s about when the Egyptian pyramids were being built.
What a fantastic article; this might be the high point for my 2019 Hacker News reading. What clarity of vision.

It is remarkable reflecting after an article like that on the complete inability of the US political system to organise itself to reward work done rather than access to the super-elite social circles. I'd love to know if this Julius fellow has a take on what mechanisms the 0.1% are using to drive the growing wage gap.

I already have an opinion; I just think if he has one it will be more insightful.
The"unauthorized access" argument is tainted by the ambiguity of these new document access rules, or that they were introduced after hiring a "union busting" company, this article claims: https://medium.com/@GoogleWalkout/googles-next-moonshot-unio...

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. The author of that SO question likely picked a light hearted title intentionally because it was "clickbaity".
I live here in Japan and it is quite hard to adjust especially with the language.

I'm just working in a Japanese company that's trying to go global.

But imagine, starting your own business, legal papers that need to be in Japanese.
Compliances. Paperworks.

Well done. My thought thought is to fashion a vanity panel for the back to obscure the cable or device clutter if you are going to keep the desk out on the open. Something like two panels to cover the back affixed by magnets. Maybe one in each corner.

Another possibility would be to make the shelf back on a hinge affixed to the underside of the desktop so that you could access the gear on the shelf from the front. if the desk was ever positioned against a wall it would be painful to access that back area to install new gear or retrieve the odd pen that fell into the table top slot.

A very cool design to be sure
That's not the reason why there is code written by Nokia employees in the Android source tree (as the article points out, by the way). The reason is that Nokia has become a significant contributor to the Linux kernel (e.g. UBIFS, drivers for TI SoCs, ...) and some Linux userspace projects (e.g. bluez and D-Bus) following the acquisition of Trolltech (Qt has a significant presence on Linux, obviously) and their Maemo and MeeGo Linux-based mobile operating system efforts. And a lot of that stuff is sitting in the Android source tree, and some of it is also in actual use in Android production system images.

OTOH I'm not aware of any Nokia contributions to the Android-exclusive parts of the Android source tree.
You can also feed your alpacas with them.
More lines does not necessarily equal more complex. But 10X more lines in a non-trivial app definitely === more complex.

I agree with much of what you've said about "magic".
Rails certainly has a larger community than Django's, but I have found the signal to noise ratio is higher on the Rails communities as well. All that attention has come at a cost.

There is also Python vs Ruby documentation and library support to consider, of which Python arguably wins, though Ruby is catching up.

All that said both are a excellent option and IMO roughly equivalent.
Take a look at Pinax.
I thought he created one
I think the meaning of point three was a bit lost in the grammar.

Yes, RMS has (very clearly) stated that the only software a person should use is software that is free.

However, I think emilsedgh's point is that RMS _first_ wants people to value freedom, and use only free software as a result - as opposed to using free software because, for instance, it is (generally) cheap.
Then a password UI that can't be forged could be used, but I agree if you're going to do it, do it right.

I was commenting on how I thought it was interesting that so many government employee's would use their work email for (most likely) non-work related sites.

Also I find it interesting how assuming you were off such a small comment I posted.
There are times when I wonder if we will ever actually switch over to IPv6. The rate of adoption is super slow and yet at some point surely we'll hit some sort of critical mass right?

It also helps the NBA by giving evaluators another year to watch players in higher pressure situations, and to see maturity issues they may have transitioning from youth to adult hood. It hurts the players, yes, but probably greatly benefits the NBA owners as well, because they can gain a better evaluation of players than if they were not required to play a year in college. Hard to see the age limit dropping without massive systemic changes.
I've tried to reach him a few months ago, mainly to know if he was intending to publish a new release with (at the very least) the fix for the missing "unistd.h" include breaking compilation (which is a one-liner), but got no answers back.

The original code is licensed under the GPLv3 and (of course) this fork doesn't change that in any way.
The earlier ME versions used an ARC. The later ones use a SPARC.

One of my favorite, end-of-WWII stories is that of Operation Zitronella [1].

Several German troops stationed at a weather station on Spitsbergen weren't able to formally surrender until they were picked up by Norwegians in September 1945, four months after the end of hostilities.

The first mover benefit is probably the biggest issue I see with Bitcoin. When I think of advances in technology and services I don't feel the first adopters get a locked in advantage that other people can't match or surpass.

There can be some benefits to being early such not needing to fight for attention as hard on a new social platform. But plenty of people put in work and grew things like YouTube channels bigger than many old first adopters. But other services and tools just wait to be used and generally provide their value immediately once adopted

Bitcoin just doesn't feel that way. The value proposition here is... value itself. There just aren't many options to leverage this technology other than being early and waiting. You can only make up for lost time by dumping an equivalent amount of money into it now to make up for lost time.
As I started learning how to spin up and manage Linux servers and then deploy my own (unmanaged) k8s on them, half of my bookmarks are DO documentation.
Both arguments are made. Although frankly I think with Android and WP7 presenting credible threats to Apple, they aren't in a position to dictate. With this amount of competition, MS, Google, and Apple all have to fight on all fronts.

Only until one has a monopoly like position will we know their true motivations... I prefer not to know any of their motivations. :-)
It is falsifiable, given access to the record of management decisions and hiring data and some agreement on what a consequential company decision would look like.

Whether some people think it “exonerates” current engineers doesn’t matter. I don’t think it does, personally.
I'd recommend to get the port out of the URL and to have some examples on the splash page.
I really need to improve my resume. However, I feel that if I spent $200 or $300 on my resume, it would not increase my job chances nor salary significantly, and at the end, would be a waste of money. If such resume writing services offered a money back guarantee (say, a job making at least x within 6 months), I'd jump on it in a second.

Of course, resume writers can't guarantee that, and I am in a position that spending $200 or $300 on something that won't return isn't worth it.
Phil, you are 100% correct. If you have an active github profile, please share it, is exactly right.
In reality the time saved isn't the only significant factor

the end.

Sell it cheaper, cut off speculators. How much someone earns is the crux of the matter here. All of a sudden slaving away soldering, manual labor pfeh, doesnt sound all that sexy when it translates to fast food wages for someone with >10 year EE experience.
And while they force this to be disclosed about Facebook Apple hide its own data harvesting since they can collect via sources Facebook cannot. This is pure PR and abuse of market share to better Apple's own ad service.
While I think it's great that people are exploring many different solutions in this area, it's worth noting a drawback of the adapt.js approach. You're left dependent on JavaScript to do something that can be done with CSS in modern browsers and you are forced to create multiple stylesheets.
Depends on your jurisdiction, in some places equality law specifically says you can't discriminate based on gender, race, nationality, etc. However I'm not aware of any equality law that includes professions, so you'll be fine

As a user, why does my private key need to be on the device? Especially, because I wouldn't want it there, because devices get stolen.
Basically anyone that lives in a California city can use common sense to see through the flawed idea that the majority of homeless aren't addicts or mentally unstable. For whatever reason, the obviously false, "majority of homeless are law abiding victims of circumstance" narrative continually gets perpetrated through bias or bogus science.

Maybe it's to make it seem like ending homelessness is an easy fix. Just provide cheap housing.

Drive around Los Angeles and notice the tents and homeless encampments. There are square miles where it's easy to see literally hundreds of these encampments, under freeway passes, beside highways, encircling parks, etc.

I could walk outside and find at least 50, if not more, within 10 city blocks of me.

Then just do the math, 400 city blocks in a square mile, 500 square miles in Los Angeles.

divide that by 15,000 or 20,000 homeless and it's easy to see that the overwhelming homeless are out in the open.

It's tragic, and it's a hard to fix. We've been trying to provide cheap housing for homeless for decades and the truth is most don't want housing.

I've toured treatment centers in skid row, the counselors there say they struggle to get people to come inside for treatment. Most are paranoid and struggle with addiction and illness and they need to want help.

Because most homeless are unstable addicts and mentally ill. And that's a problem that can't be solved by building structures.

They need treatment facilities, rules against open encampments and jail for repeat law violations.
>Either help out, or get out.

Leaving aside that this person was probably in this field before Neuralink and the others, in matters such as these, offering an expert opinion on a market filled with snake oil certainly is helping out. Otherwise we rely on people whose first priority is not truth but profit.

Her suggestion is to exercise skepticism and be realistic about what the actual applications and markets are.
Can we add [2015] to the title?
Very astute observation, something which resonates strongly with my experience as well.

At some point we should transition from microservices nomenclature to just services to illustrate the true nature of these entities.

If it is not from life threatening situation it's not PTSD, it can be a serious case of anxiety disorder but you shouldn't confuse those.

I upgraded from iOS 5 to 6 on my iPhone 4 and immediately regretted it. There are multi second delays with no visible feedback. Text boxes (such as the one I'm typing into) is almost completely broken in Chrome (by the update). iOS 5 was far superior to 6 and I wish I could downgrade easily.
I'm sure I can find competitors for literally everything Google does.

Google tends to do many of them better than their competition.
Would you be kind enough to explain further why knowledge of closures is a priority...?
i work on scada systems which usually come with a time series database built in so that operators can do some basic plotting. Often these products have a 10 or 15 year legacy.

The scada vendors seem to be careful to avoid making the time series database and plotting tools which come with the HMI packages too powerful, as this might cut in to their sales of Historian type products.

If it wasn't a commodity already, the rash of startups which all seem to write their own tools for storing and plotting metrics from the operations of their servers and software services has certainly made the guts of a capable historian readily available for free.

for storing data

kairosdb, based on cassandra, https://code.google.com/p/kairosdb/

> We would have discovered poisonous or second order effects long ago...Here's an easy counterpoint to that:...mushrooms

Enh. Not so much. Just the fact that we know mushrooms are often poisonous is useful, actionable knowledge by itself.

Traditional diets generally work. They have stood the test of time. The extent to which they are harmful long term can be studied effectively because we have potential access to lots of data.

> the history of identifying dangerous mushrooms have amply demonstrated that people have trouble connecting cause and effect in terms of diet

Folklore isn't perfect, but it is effective to some extent. Given enough time in a large enough population, it does well enough. I have no fundamental problem with engineered foods. It's the complexity of the systems involved, the potentially high stakes, the questionable incentives of the producers, and the comparative paucity of data that bother me. Now that we have billions on the planet and many hundreds of millions living 1st world lives, maybe we'll make some inroads here as well.
You're leaving out the revenue from the Yahoo lawsuit. When you combine the revenue from actual royalties and the award from the lawsuit, Mozilla's income for the last year we have on record was just under 1 billion USD, and people continue pushing the narrative that Mozilla is more financially insecure than ever. Firefox is certainly at one of the lowest measures of success it has ever seen, but it's also bringing in more money per user than ever.

The picture of Mozilla as frail organization just barely squeaking by has been very lucrative.

The fact is, Mozilla has been in the current position for the last 10 years, which is one that is far less precarious than it's made out to be, hasn't done anything that substantially ameliorates what precarity does exist, and instead continues making awful decisions that push away both people in its user base and its potential set of contributors, with the kicker being that the purported looming threat of poverty is used as the justification for all decisions made. And they never budge on anything, except to move further down on all measures that they point to. So how smart and well-reasoned are those decisions again?

Signed, a lifetime Firefox user (for lack of a better option).
We have Fuchsia now.
Sounds like bliss! Twenty years ago I was working on a project that received financial data through a Y-cable connected to a printer port. One day, we stopped getting data and could not figure out why. Turns out the printer had run out of paper.
I would put poverty and income disparities on the first positions. Countries like USA have a huge prison population and they still face high crime rates on some regions.

I suspect that historic criminality may play an important role too, since it influences more and more groups of people and make them to consider crime as a feasible or even natural alternative.

I have some really good-hearted, hard worker friends, who already had some involvement with crime when younger, just because they were influenced by friends on the slums they lived on. In their circumstances, that simply felt to them the natural choice to make.

Maybe I'm being too naïve, but I believe a big revolution would happen if the government started to make itself present not only with law enforcement, but also with quality public services and, very importantly, good schools. I think that that could break the endless cycle of bad influences the poorer youth are currently under.
As I have been on Reddit, moderating for the past hour, I don't believe this.
We really need "corporate bullshit removed" forks of both Chrome and Firefox.

IceWeasel and Chromium were effectively Firefox and Chrome without the (surface level) corporate branding. Chromium is soon having many of its Google tie-ins severed. Debian and Mozilla resolved their trademark dispute, so IceWeasel mostly went away.

These browsers are open source, yet they both suffer an unpalatable amount of corporate control. Google can do whatever it wants, because it's the king. Mozilla is able to get away with this because they are the only real alternative for people who don't like the king.
This argument would be more persuasive if more countries actually met their recommended NATO spend. In reality it doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Take for instance Germany. The federal republic increased their spend to $63.8b last year but that's still a shortfall of ~$27b relative to what a 2% spend would be.

Aggressive estimates (above official estimates) of the UK's (a similar sized ally) spending on Afghanistan in 2011m put the total figure at $26b for 10 years.

The cumulative shortfall in NATO contributions for Germany over that period is more than 10 times greater than the entire invasion and continued operations in Afghanistan during that period.

(edit: grammar and dollar signs)
I like the stock
My point is you can make these arguments all day. Why do we allow iframes? You could argue web servers should simply communicate among themselves and serve subdocuments to clients.

Why is HTTP/2 Server Push being rescinded?

Why do user agents not provide additional types for <script> based on runtime installations?

Why isn't there a renderer API that allows me to use painted trees in <canvas>, but there is a bluetooth API that no one uses?
There are some well optimized Electron apps, I agree however, they can be implemented in a much better and more native way, without being harder to install and/or update. Qt is a possible alternative. Similarly WxWidgets can do it.

As a big fan of compiled, so-called proper programming languages (and high performance code developer to some extent), I can tell that JVM is being bashed unnecessarily. JVM was heavy, I agree. Since the age of Intel Core i series, JVM is no longer heavy.

I use one of the heaviest JVM applications regularly: Eclipse. It can run in circles around any of the Electron apps with similar memory usage, and I get much more bang per MB in Eclipse. In ~1GB I can keep 3 IDEs open with plethora of files, daemons, tools and integrations. We have in-place updaters for a lot of platforms. Mac has sparkle. Linux's AppImage can update itself seamlessly.

There's no guarantee that an Electron application targets everything out of the pipeline. We still don't have an official Evernote client for Linux. Spotify for Linux is a volunteer project inside the company (which had a very painful and bloody teething too). Slack just hogs your computer. I didn't look to resource usage of Discord, but it's not light I presume.

On the update department again, I've found out that Office for Mac has updated itself again and I didn't notice. Same for Firefox.

So Electron is a nice solution, for some stuff, but it leans too much on "Hardware is cheap, network is reliable" paradigm, which is flat out wrong.

It's very cheap to build on Electron, but user pays the price. There's always the price. It all depends who's going to pay it at the end of the day.
In 2016 I believed the conservative talking point that Russia was just an excuse the Democrats were using for losing the 2016 election.

Then Paul Manafort went on TV and gave the most unconvincing denial in the history of denials (That's what I sai... that's what he sai... that's, uhh, obviously what our position is.) Then Trump Jr preemptively tweeted soon-to-be-leaked emails detailing that they had in fact met with the Russians. Then the Muller investigation turned over a hundred other connections. Then, over the next four years, POTUS lifted the Magnitsky sanctions and turned a stubbornly blind eye every time Russia did something stinky, often directly contradicting public statements made minutes before/after from his own office.

Anyway, point is: there's an extremely powerful propaganda machine dead set on deflecting attention away from Russia, and that's concerning. More proof one way or another is always better, but this whole "there is no amount of evidence that can convince me Russia did it" trend is a problem.
But the plain english truth is the Trump video. The analogy helps explain what people are observing.

When people say "i don't have a problem with what he said, because he said for people to go home" the analogy helps ground the idea that while he may have said go home, he also said things that would rile them up. Hence the taking a log off the fire while adding gasoline analogy. It's not obfuscation. Trump's message was the obfuscation.
>So presidential succession was stopped and congress was killed? No? I think you are making shit up.

And so if I walk into a bank and demand money, but I don't get any, it's not a bank robbery?

That's an interesting legal angle.

This idea puzzles me. It's not like the code suddenly breaks or the world changes so much as to render it completely obsolete.

It's borderline madness to keep chasing new and shiny things and then complain that things keep changing.

Stability is a feature, not a bug.
That is pure speculation. Algorithms are all completely individual and a catch all term for basically anything done in software automatically. Whether the algorithm factors in advertising dollars or not is a complete unknown.
