I don't think the choice of study path is a problem. After all, he was doing this for 20 years and does not have a problem with what he was teaching. He has a problem with the people that benefited or did not benefit from his work. ... "Why don't you do something more meaningful with your life?" ...

The real problem is he thought life would be perfect, that there would be no problems he would have a hard time solving, that everything would be as imagined.

And the early success did give him false visions of grandeur and an amazing world. Early success just was not sustainable. In the end, the reality that overcame was that life sucked and will continue to suck. Only little pockets of joy exist here and there. Especially when you are a bleeding edge researcher.

I think you misunderstand the article, the term comes from Carlyle rejecting the free market as a philosophical principle, not some efficiency analysis. And in fact his essay was a defense of plantation owners whose businesses were failing because they had just lost access to extremely efficient slave labor thanks to inconvenient regulations.

If the economy were a little more global back then, those plantation owners should have moved their businesses to different, more slavery/business-friendly countries rather than adapt to the new human rights the workers had been given, no?
I think our disagreement might fundamentally revolve around you seeing "might" and I'm observing "almost always does not".

I'm still interested in the idea of listing and evaluating motivators, so we've listed four of varying opinions of effectiveness, it would be interesting to identify a fifth (or more) of equal or better effectiveness.

Thinking of what PR people like to use, there's sex appeal, I suppose that could be used in public service TV commercials as a new fifth strategy. I have no idea how to sell "preventative EKGs are sexy", but I'm no marketing guy, and somehow they sell cars and junk food with sex appeal, so its probably possible to sell EKGs and immunizations and diabetic glucose test screens under the same strategy... somehow. This sounds like such a bad idea, I hesitate to declare it a serious fifth strategy idea.

High frequency traders front run the dumb money, err, pensions. Getting rid of HFT via a transaction tax will not hurt them. Also, pensions shouldn't be trading so much that these things will hurt them. As for mutual funds, again, you're better off with an index fund and just not looking at it until you retire.

How anyone outside the industry can argue against a transaction tax is beyond me. You have no idea how much the market has been rigged to suck as much money as possible out of you. Wall Street does not generate wealth. Everything they make is a tax on those that do.

I admit to thinking more broadly, about key escrow systems in general.

The whole idea of a small set of physical keys and a large number of publically available locks is, of course, utter horse poop.

Exactly - there's no need for a service like this when you can have self-signed certificates. Create a CA cert to distribute across your team, then use it to sign host, wildcard and SAN certs as needed. If you need to share your site with people who don't have your CA cert, it's time to get a real one.

Graduated from or attended Stanford or an ivy league school (but preferably specifically Stanford). Proven track record of success. Under 30. Without family ties. Has impressive hacks they can mention on their application. Has a product with current traction. Has a product with unicorn upside potential ($1B possibilities). Product is very early in its lifecycle. Not a single founder (preferably two to three). Can sell the startup quickly (this is important if you make it to the interview) and address potential issues with the business plan.

But remember that at this point, they probably only interview 1 in 500 applications if that, so there's a lot of chance involved as well.

Because you can get stuff from lectures without paying full attention. I download those Open Yale Courses lectures, and listen to them while driving to work. Driving, obviously, takes up some fraction of my brain, but I find that I still have plenty left over for listening.

Would I get more out of it if I listened while sitting at a desk and taking notes? Probably. But I'm getting a lot more than nothing out of it.

And obviously TV-watching is harder to combine with lecturing (among other things, the student presumably had to have closed-captioning on), but fundamentally the idea of doing two things at once when neither of them demands your complete attention isn't that weird.

Per call mixed FIFO/LIFO also gives you a good feel for how technical situations are progressing, and still depletes the older queue entries. Any given center can usually be dialed in, by changing the ratio off the top or the bottom of the stack for the next served.

I would imagine dynamic heuristics based on volume and delta volume/period would greatly assist keeping the queues clean.

Not very likely. Do you have a source for this? For comparison, Bryce Harper, one of the strongest MLB players and a physical freak, squats 405. And that's with modern training and nutrition.

Also compare to the CURRENT world record squats for a man of Sacks' likely size in the 1960s, and you'll see how unlikely this is.

(Edit: I looked it up. Looks like Sacks did indeed set a CA state record with a 600-lb "power lift", which is slightly different from a squat, but certainly close enough. Mea culpa:

It's sad that so many comments concentrate on whether luggage is secure in the first place. Of course it is not.
The real issue is that having a backdoor makes a new class of attacks possible. A wilful or accidental leak, for example. Or you can reverse engineer the master key if you have enough locks.

The big impact is that one leak kills the security of all locks (of that type).

I don't think this would necessarily be the case when looking at (publicly) backdoored encryption. Here, you could have an individual backdoor key for each "lock". Of course, the mass storage of backdoor keys make a mass-leak also more probable.

right, well, think of it this way. Trading process is the process of price discovery. Most recent traded price is the current price for the asset, assuming it's trading frequently. An infrequently traded asset creates more uncertainty about what is its actual current market price. And volatility is a function of uncertainty.
It doesn't appear to be a new implementation. It looks like it uses Node's crypto lib:

https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_publicencry...

Not sure why it says DSA is supported, the crypto library only supports RSA.

It uses this library that stitches together a PEM from an ssh public key:

The tiny locks and keys kind of make it obvious that it's not so much insecure as it was never ment to be secure.

Patent law is totally overstretched today.

Once it was said, that patent law was introduced to support small inventors and the disclosure of inventions. Today's implementation of the patent system fails in both respects!

Small inventors are not supported, but hindered by the current patent system. And no essential inventions are disclosed anymore by the patent system. Most patents are about things that are so trivial that the patent disclosure brings no additional knowledge to the world. Even the other patents most often do not hold enough knowledge, that would be a real "disclosure" -- patent lawyers are trained today to "disclose" with out real disclosure. The real information is hidden -- just enough information is given, to block competitors.

As we can see, additionally the patent system is misused by big corporations today more and more to protect their monopolies. Essentially, patent law is used by the big players to damage the interests of consumers. Today we could also speak of a concealed "patent-tax" that all of us are paying when we buy a smart-phone or other high-tech products. With any product, we pay also for patent-fights, for a host of patent-lawyers many companies need today and for the situation, that cheaper products are blocked by patent-holders.

The problem is, that there are to many interests pro-patent. So a real reform will never be undergone by today's politicians.

Padlocks protect you from baggage handlers getting a little on the side while on the job. If a baggage handler slices your bag open with a knife, that's going to be noticed quickly, and the odds of being caught are high. If the bag is unlocked and he can merely unzip it, pocket something valuable, and replace it, then that may not be discovered for many hours or even days, and the odds of being caught are much lower.

Obviously they don't protect you from someone who simply steals your entire bag, to open it at leisure away from the airport. But something doesn't have to protect against every conceivable threat in order to be useful.

Locks on your luggage is like locks on your front door. A lock on a normal house door is easily defeated with a crow bar or a strong leg. But they're still useful to keep out people who are willing to use the door knob but not actually break down the door.
Academics do not have large salaries. They have two primary things that make up for it: freedom in what they do, and the feeling of having a positive impact on their students specifically, and society in general. So, if we consider his entire compensation, think of it as salary + freedom + positive impact.

This essay is explaining why he thinks that the freedom and positive impact parts of his compensation are significantly less than he initially thought. When that's the case, the next obvious question is: is this worth it? He's answering no. All occupations have problems, but he may find another occupation where he feels all aspects of his compensation (not just monetary) are worth it.
They would have gotten a valid certificate that couldn't be tied in anyway to their identity.

Coupled with e.g. a XSS vuln on a secured website, you could serve a nasty browser exploiting payload from a secure site, without any warning such as "this page is trying to load stuff from an unsecure site".

This in only one scenario, there are others. This really was pretty bad.

Endpoints to test various SSL/TLS/X.509 stuff would be super helpful. Call would returning a stock HTTP response body, but with different changes to the SSL/TLS handshake (you will have to use different host names to do this)

https://expired.x509.httpbin.org/ - returns an otherwise valid cert that has expired

https://wrongcn.x509.httpbin.org/ - returns an otherwise valid cert with a different CN name

https://sslv3.tls.httpbin.org/ - only negotiates an SSLv3 connection

https//3des.tls.httpbin.org/ - only negotiates to use 3DES as the cipher
For video or gaming, sure. But for text input?

I will say the market might be too small. But if the market existed slow response times (which are still sub-second) would likely not hurt it too much for that usage.
It's great to let students use something like "Big History", but the take away for me is that Bill Gates was engaged by it and therefore wants others to use it, instead of finding their own "Big History". Even if that means writing about Vaporwave and using Tumblr & youtube documentaries, student engaging critically with any content that is meaningful to them will help them to become better thinkers and writers. Or maybe I just wish I had dropped out of high school to watch youtube and publish think pieces.

It's probably worth observing that he's specifically referring to his field: history. The couple of times that I've dipped into liberal arts classes online I've thought they were pretty horrible. I'm sure you can have captivating lectures but with limited personal interactions and feedback--especially with a MOOC--they don't really work as classes. Discussion boards don't scale that well under the best of circumstances.

MOOCs can be reasonably effective as learning tools for things like programming. They don't have a real business or certification model but that's a somewhat separate discussion. But for history, literature, etc. I'd mostly rather just read a good book.
