It's a short interview summary with a few sarcastic quotes. Musk is probably worried because Apple wants to make an EV "for the rest of us". If I were a Tesla engineer and had similar ambitions, I might consider joining Apple.
That was an excellent story. Was discussed here too:

Linux User - I am looking at Keeper https://keepersecurity.com

My devices - Linux Desktop, Laptop, Windows 7, 8 and 10 Machines at work, Android Phone, iPad (Work)

Lastpass worked on all of them. The only alternative I could find was Keeper https://keepersecurity.com that worked with all of my devices.

Anyone have experience with Keeper Security?
There was a great TV show from Belgium called Neveneffecten a few years ago. One of the things they did was take the bait of email spam scammers. One of the scam gangs arranged an in-person meet in Belgium and tried to convince them to take a plane to Nigeria with a large sum of cash to buy gold. I don't know what the gang's plan was, but I doubt they would get a warm welcome in Nigeria.

Well, I’m extremely disappointed with VW US. VW Germany instantly had CEO resigning and taking full responsibility and in days started suspending top managers.

In contrast, VW US seems to be even more a bunch of liars.
Similar things happen in China every day. Government, police, banks warn people many times, but there are still some people believing they will win a lot of money. They forget "No pay, no gain".
The Ultimate 3-in-1 Swift Bundle
They have browser extensions, so you can use it through that way on Linux it seems.

The Windows version runs fine in WINE, alternatively they offer a very cut-down web-based solution called 1Password Anywhere (which I use on my Chromebook).

(There's an official Android client too, which wasn't mentioned above)
That's not really the same... HTML elements are more like keywords than functions.
Where I work we have gotten emails claiming to be from IT, after constant reminders on what an official email would look like and how to spot a fake and to never click on links. Apparently some have fallen for it.

While not lottery scams you would think that in a work environment where there is constant education on what to look out for it still happens.

I wouldn't attribute it to stupidity. Just getting caught at the right moment.
Good question. HFT is a spectrum. At the lowest latency (approximately 5 microseconds), the barriers to entry are massive - multi-million dollar startup costs.

For "kind of fast" - 10-100 microseconds - there are a variety of brokerages that can get you started with costs of approximately $1000-10,000 a month. This is rapidly changing though - the exchanges have been continuously increasing the prices of their market data to the point where consuming the entire US equity market proprietary feeds costs around $50,000/mo in licensing.
Likewise, I'm similarly cross-platform and just found http://enpass.io/

Wondered if people have experience with them.
This does not hold up as an essay, more so from an architect, if she does not discuss the reason why Facebook settled in that Sun campus and why the new building is not a skyscraper... It is not hard to find out: Facebook (and Google) love large floors, large open spaces. They are much easier to operate in. This is why the Google office in New York is not in a skyscraper but in largest-floor-plan building, spanning a hole wide city block, in NYC.

If the function is not the first consideration of the architect, well, then they are not really doing their job. So we want to start building more skyscrapers again, we need to show their physical utility. Perhaps change the way people move in such space. That is a grand challenge for, wait for it, some architect.
It doesn't. Real property, land, can't be owned off the Earth, any more than it can be owned at sea.
AFAIK since 2013 they've almost totally stopped building new coal plants. They've removed subsidies on mining, too which has led to pit closures.

If it's not going down already, I imagine it will be going down within the next couple of years.
If we're really going to talk about memories of over 2⁶⁴ bytes, in the limit it's O(m^⅓) if you're talking about latency, because larger memories need to be physically further away, on average.
Note the wording. Supported vs. not supported does not equate to works vs. won't work. Rather it means that if something does not work, they will be less inclined to fix the cause of the problem unless a supported platform is also affected and furthermore, not supported means that even if it does work on an unsupported platform now, there's no guarantee made that it'll work on that platform tomorrow (of course, sometimes supported platforms will be deprecated with a new version but in that case it is common courtesy to give notice in advance).

> people are also part of nature and sometimes they want to feel as such

Sure, but while you're at the office/at work/in your apartment? Does it matter so much whether your building is 2 or 40 stories? You get back on the street for your lunch break either way. The author is not against building parks and recreational spaces where you can have this; I don't really understand your complaint.

> Once upon a time one could actually impress people by building skyscrapers, but that time is over. Now we all know that it is possible, the novelty wore off.

I obviously can't change your opinion here, but there's something very satisfying about looking out from a high floor on a tall building. There's always something satisfying to me about driving towards NYC and seeing the skyline in the distance. Maybe I'm just holding on a little too much to modernist aesthetics, but I agree with the author that skyscrapers can still impress.

For a more recent example, I took a trip to London a few weeks ago. The piece of art I saw there that most affected me wasn't a painting, but a skyscraper: I saw The Shard* (completed 2012), rising up into the clouds and mist. I found it incredibly powerful to gaze up at a building like that. It's an experience I have difficulty describing -- it felt like a quasi-religious monument to some aspect of our contemporary culture, and it affected me as such.

> There are only very few places in the world where space is at a premium

And those are also the areas where people want to live. People like other people. People, in general, like density. Why keep them playgrounds for the international wealthy? Cities used to be places for everyone: immigrants, travelers, artists, businesspeople, parents & children... There are more people now than ever: let's build to the sky.

ComputerCraft is a minecraft mod that adds Lua powered computers and robots to minecraft. I've made tree harvesting bots, farming bots, mining boys, and remote robot control PDAs. When I started working with embedded systems, I was impressed how much carried over.

Most kids like minecraft. With ComputerCraft a little bit of coding gives you minecraft superpowers. More coding gives you more powers. It's easy to keep learning more.
How to hack your way to become a profitable real estate investor
There are lots of examples of innovations changing entire industries without a political drive being behind it. The day someone discovers a clean energy method that is easily cheaper than fossil fuels will be able to cash in because the market will switch to it quite handily, regardless of politics. The only political drive I really worry over with things like this is cronyism that prevents innovations in an effort to maintain status quo.

The lessons is not to "be wary of scammers" or "hack your phone"... That's totally missing the crux of the scam.

The lesson is that, as you approach old age, and if at all possible, you should give a trusted relative or close friend a durable power of attorney over your finances. In addition, (or as a second best), put your money in an irrevocable living trust assigning yourself as a beneficiary, and laying out strict rules for retrieving money.
That's why most of these HFT-sponsored exchanges (read: BATS, CHX, etc) pay retail brokers (e.g. eTrade, Scottrade, etc.) for their flow.
I once kept a "Microsoft tech support" scammer [1] on the phone for over 30 minutes while I pretended to download and install some bit of malware he was trying to foist on me. When he finally realised what I was doing, I owned-up and politely asked why he was trying to rob me. He gave a loud scream of what sounded like pure frustration and hung up. I was laughing so hard I almost passed-out.

Yes, and poverty is more than just the purchasing power of extremely low wages. Let me give you an example of ravaging a third world country, as talked about by John Perkins in Confessions of an Economic Hitman. I countries wealth should be in their natural resources and labor, but we have undermined that principle in favor of exploitation. Not to mention that the article itself starts out saying that once the rate of poverty is adjusted less people are in poverty! Magic!

"One of my jobs as an economic hit man was to identify countries that had resources like oil and arrange huge loans for those countries from the World Bank and sister organizations. But the money would never go to the actual country; instead it would go to our own corporations to build infrastructure projects in that country like power plants and industrial parks; things that would benefit a few very wealthy families.
So then the people of the country would be left holding this huge debt that they couldn't repay. We would come back and say, "well, since you can't repay your debt, you have to restructure your loan." That's when the IMF comes in. So the World Bank makes the original loan and IMF shows up and says, "We'll help you restructure your loan, but in order to do that you have to meet certain conditionalities. You have to sell your oil or whatever the coveted resource is at a cheap price, to the oil companies without restrictions." Or they would suggest the country sell electric utilities, water and sewage, maybe even your schools and jails to private multi-national corporations. Or maybe allow military bases to be built; these sorts of things."
Merriam-Webster lists all three of those as accepted pronunciations [0]; like many things in English, there is significant regional variation.

Truly shared nothing architectures are very difficult to do for a database unless you are willing to copy every data for each core which then creates a problem of heavy memory usage.

Then when it comes to net I/O there is still the problem of the IRQ coming to a specific core (or maybe a random core depending on the OS) which is not the core of your thread (if you have a shared nothing architecture).

Lots of claims in this post.
Doesn't solve the mobile apps part but we run https://passopolis.com/, a continuation of Mitro (https://www.mitro.co/) that shutdown a couple of days ago.

The server and the chrome/firefox extensions that are opensource (https://github.com/WeAreWizards/passopolis-server, https://github.com/WeAreWizards/passopolis-extensions).

Right now it's mostly for us and other mitro escapees to continue using it so we didn't bother with the site design or the mobile apps.
The exact feature you mention would be the first one to be done if we decide to monetize it though ! It would say opensource as well.

The topic of discussion is not what's reasonable activity. Of course it's reasonable to legally park your car outside, it's also reasonable to go rock climbing.

We're talking about insurance. There's certain reasonable activity that exposes you to heightened risk. Your car is at higher risk parked outside than in a garage.

Who should assume the cost of that heightened risk? Should the insurance company charge a person with a garage and a person without one the same premiums? Should there be no consequences for damage that could have been avoided by storing your car in a garage?

If the answer to those questions is "yes" you've created a moral hazard. Why would anyone store their car in a safer location if their insurance company will pay for any damages without their premiums going up?

To categorically say that this shouldn't be priced into insurance is to say that some buyers of insurance with higher risk profiles should be subsidized by those with lower risk profiles.

Now of course insurance companies are far from perfect. They have limited data to work with and it wouldn't be cost effective to figure out whether some individual customer had a one-off freak accident or not.

But over their entire customer base it's not an unreasonable approximation to connect your premiums to traffic incidents you were involved in, even though you were not at fault.

Not being at fault is not the same thing as not having exposed yourself to heightened risk. The police deals with the former, insurance companies deal with the latter.
"Performance is just the story they are selling in exchange of absolute control of the Web."

To be fair, they are not the only ones that use this "story" as a ploy to get more control over users (and hence gather more saleable personal information).

Phrases like "make the web faster" are disingenuous and should not pass any intelligent user's BS filter.

The very reason the web is slow is because of these companies which need to serve ads and other crud to survive. That means more DNS lookups, more TCP connections, more HTTP requests, more Javascript, longer URL's, more unwanted IMG's (e.g., beacons), more tags, etc., etc. The list is so long I cannot even hope to capture it all. That end result is simple: staring at a screen waiting for the computer to respond. Not to mention frequent leakage of personal information.

As a user of netcat and text-only browsers that retrieve pages in milliseconds, I am astounded at how long users today are willing to wait for their content (i.e., "page loads"). I also run my own web servers at home to serve content to my family's mobile devices. I am well-aware of what (i.e., who) slows down "the Web".

The user does not start from the assumption that she needs to (down)load "resources" (as in Uniform Resource Locator) from a number of advertisers for every page she views. Those are the assumptions that the web company starts with. Those are the constraints they must work within. Not true for users.

I do not need Google DNS. I run my own locally, primed with all the domains I routinely visit. No remote DNS cache is going to be faster than my loopback.

Nor do I need HTTP/2. I just use HTTP/1.1 pipelining to retrieve 100's of pages of content, usually 100 pages at a time. HTTP/2 is something the web companies may need to accomplish their goals of serving ads and collecting personal information. But it is not something users need.

To drive adoption they must convince users that users need these "improvements". So the web companies purport to offer "solutions" to the problem they themselves created: a slow, bloated www.

It's interesting how many times I see people not understanding the effects of taxes. Like the short-minded people that think they'll reap huge benefits from taxing cigarettes and base their budgets around it. But then people stop smoking or find alternative sources for cigarettes so that the huge windfall of tax income never happens. Now they are left with a huge hole in their budget.

In Indonesia, a particular scam is calling people (esp. parents) very early in the morning, when people are still sleeping, "We're cops. Your son/daughter is arrested for drugs possession. Send us lots of money NOW or we'll send him/her to jail." followed by what sounds like someone crying in the background.

Since you're barely awake, and your son/daughter is indeed away (eg. on night shift or staying with friends), and the fact that some cops are corrupt, and somehow you can't call (busy line) your son/daughter to verify, make people fall prey to this scam.

The interesting part is: how do they know the relationship of the victims, and the location (i.e away from home) at that point in time, considering the scammers are sometimes from different island?

Disclaimer: I work in HFT

The article uses the term "front-running" incorrectly. Front-running is where a firm places their own trades ahead of trades they're placing for a client, to capitalize on the price movement that client order might generate. This is illegal.

What the market makers in the article are doing isn't front-running. It's just being smart with their orders.

And that's generally why HFTs cancel orders- they're reacting to market conditions that exist on the span of microseconds and will want to change their market positions very quickly- including canceling orders that they no longer think are suitable.

These days you can rent a co-located computer with direct connection to the exchange. The cost is a few grands per month. Not very cheap but definitely within reach of a small business. There are many small HF firms based all over the country that just rent 1 or 2 computers close to exchanges.

Keep GPS track editing under control
I can't believe the article in the comment above made it on to Bloomberg View. It uses a completely incorrect definition of front-running - claiming it is a "loose" term. It isn't. Front running is illegal. It requires advanced knowledge of a customer order (as the definition linked from the article states!) That means seeing the order before it appears on a market data feed. "Gleaning" information about the order using publicly available information is not front-running. That is reacting to the market.

This abuse of the term completely confuses the entire debate.
I'm a total outsider to Linux kernel development, but this plays like a bad telenovela, I would have expected better from what seem to be intelligent people. And to keep it OT: no, it's not ok to tell someone "shut the fuck up!", like Linus Torvalds did, no matter the context. It doesn't solve anything, it's unprofessional, and it gives a very, very bad vibe. Not sure how come smart people can stand behind this ("To Linus: You're a hero to many of us.")
