Yeah, you have to do a bit of research to find routers that can route/firewall at ~1Gbps. The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite is one such router, with a typical retail price of just south of 100 USD. (Though -for whatever reason- you do have to manually enable hardware offload to get 1Gbps perf out of the device.)
Of course you have the right not to tell me something. I'm not advocating coercion, quite the opposite.
My mid-range router simply didn't have a fast enough processor to handle Gigabit speeds, I ended up upgrading shortly after having the service installed in my apartment to a much nicer device. It was well worth it.

I had 100 Mbps. it was 50/month. They sent out a promo for 1000 Mbps for 65/month. I got it, wired ethernet, can actually get around 950 Mbps on the test sites.

Saw basically no difference in day to day usage. Even saw 0 difference in download speeds off of VPS servers etc.

Was hoping my employer's VPN would be like I'm on site (or as close as one could get). Bottle neck there as well.
The big problem these days seems to be absolutely lousy user documentation. It took me probably 3 full hours of googling forums to figure out the magic combination of file locations, names, command line switches and file formats to get some turbo CD games I have working with RetroArch...and I've never been able to get sega CD games working at all...I actually managed to do it with a real MAME download instead -- which had its own association google hunt all over the internet to get up and running.

There's absolutely zero documentation in any way explaining how to setup the rube goldberg machine that makes these more complicated systems work.

It used to be something like

1) put bios in this folder and use the gui to map the config to the file

2) point to the iso or cue or whatever

3) run emulator

I feel like modern emulators are getting more and more opaque in how to set them up.

Would it be fair to say that the best leader is a hybrid of mom & dad style? Or would you say that the best leaders oftentimes fall into just one camp?
It depends on your definition of "internal". I write unit tests at whatever boundary that makes sense, and I certainly will write unit tests to test contracts between related pieces that others might call "internal." But then I can refactor trivially at that level, which I may (read: usually do) want to have available later.

I don't generally write, nor really see, see a lot of internal contractual testing in unit testing (not least because it becomes very hard to do so if you actually use visibility in OOP).
I believe they exist, I've just never met one personally to discuss these things.
It is fairly easy to set up centralized logging. Interdependencies between services can be pretty complex. Think about it from the operations and not the development side: Which firewalls are between the public internet and service X? Why are two Windows workstations talking to each other? Which services are talking to an internal API?

The moment more than a few people are involved with your systems, it can get so complex that visualizing dependencies can be extremely helpful and bring a lot of insights.

As for the government - a world where only the government gets to have privacy is a scary nightmare. A world with a government as transparent as possible, maybe it's workable. Honestly, I don't know. I need to study this more. I just don't like the costs that come with seriously increasing the amount of individual privacy. And/or I have too much faith in the good side of our nature.
Never call the cops. Police due two things: apply force and file paperwork. If you have a medical or person problem, the police are not who to call. Sadly, that meand you can't call 911 either, you have to find the phone number for MEDICAL support.
> If you want to know what your defined role is, a simple way to do so is to simply stop doing your job and seeing what people complain about first.

Whenever I've done something like that in the past, the complaint is always some variant of "I noticed you goofing off".

Historically this was a source of incredible frustration because it basically acknowledged I was undertasked; the complaint would never be some variant of "Why isn't X done yet?"

I suppose that means I had no defined role in the company?

Interesting observations on the dynamic with "real cabbies."

I would envision a decentralized system including both "real cabs", whose parent company vouches for a driver's licensing, as well as independent drivers, whose insurance company does. But if any driver participated in a transparent network, their reputation would be important to them, and I would assume that would be a deterrent to taking fares you don't actually intend to pick up.
I feel the same way about Elm. I am curious regarding your comment about ports though. I will admit, I haven't used ports for connecting with three.js, but I have used them to tie in with existing Javascript code during our conversion process and I thought they were pretty nice. What makes the combination of three.js and Elm ports a problem. Is it just the number of them you have to write, or is there some other pain point?
To my understanding, this is money that is actually made outside the US. If Apple (US) sells an iPhone to an American customer, they will pay US corporate income tax on the profits from that sale.

However, if Apple (Italy) sells an iPhone to an Italian customer, the 'double Irish' arrangement lets them avoid paying corporate income taxes on those profits.

There are two issues here:

1. Some might argue that because Apple is based in the US and the R&D for these products occurs in the US, that when Apple (Italy) sells an iPhone to an Italian customer, Apple (US) should pay taxes on those profits. This is somewhat questionable, I think.

2. When Apple (Italy) sells an iPhone to an Italian customer, they should pay Italian corporate income tax on those profits, instead of being able to wipe those profits out using licensing agreements with Apple (Ireland). This is more straightforward and is the loophole being addressed by this settlement.
The Amiga world has not aged gracefully. It's hopelessly fractured with something like half a dozen OS efforts all built around various philosophies of ideological purity to the old Amigas each capable of addressing markets that might number in the hundreds of users.

It's kind of insane that all the various parties just haven't decided to open source everything and try to grow the community instead of taking smaller and smaller slices of a very tiny and shrinking pie. I really can't figure it out. It's just a niche hobbyist thing and charging for the software and rom images isn't ever going to make any money back for the people who put the effort in.

This is really one of the cases where I think properly open sourcing everything and just running it like a mature open source effort would be far more productive.
Today I had the Blockchain nirvana when it perfectly fit a usecase I had. It was when I could understand why are people calling it the next internet. For the next rideshare to be decentralized, someone will have to build that service over blockchain protocol, it will sure need time and there would need to be users to adapt. Till then Uber and Lyft would be starting their driverless car service I guess. But I would love to see that day soon when there is a true competition to Uber from a blockchain ridesharing service.
Even if privacy successfully protected those people, I would argue that this would make things even worse. Why? Because privacy protecting the majority of people minimizes the apparent danger of the underlying problem (killing Jews), which cause people to ignore the problem as if it doesn't exists, during which the problem grows until privacy proves to not be enough.

Privacy is a painkiller. It gives us the impression that the problem isn't there, but in reality it keeps getting worse until death hits.
Yes exactly. Some new people will come in saying things like that because they've internalized bad practices.
What planet are you on? Of course real world users notice these issues. It's just that real world users eventually realise Linux isn't going to change so they go back to Windows (see Linus's various "I'm doing it right; shut up" comments on security, stable driver ABIs, etc.).
Entertain for a moment the idea that someone's rationale in choosing to deploy a given OS lies deeper than the 1-dimensional rubric you're suggesting, and instead may have something to do with questions like "how easy is it going to be to support this?" and other network effects.

You're getting all red in the face using some really dubious arguments to back you up here.
It really depends. When I emerged out of the DoD contracting industry, it was a total WTF that we weren't obsessing over charge codes and timekeeping. Even if we're not billing a customer, how do we even know what we're spending our time on if we're not documenting it with constant timesheets?

It's possible for process to serve a purpose, but still not be worth it. (Not going to argue with your specific examples though)
Wine is faster than Emscripten because asm.js is a slow target, not because HLE produces fundamentally better results than transpilation.

Wine has a variant, libwine, that can linked into a Windows binary at compile-time, replacing that Windows binary's linkages to Windows libraries with linkages to Wine. If you have the opportunity, this is always the more processor-efficient way to go (and I'm surprised so many companies choose to "port" their software to Linux using Cider rather than taking their source and compiling in libwine.)

If you didn't have the source of a Windows binary, you could create a Linux transpiler that replaces already-generated Windows symbols with Wine symbols statically while also potentially rewriting the ISA and calling conventions. The only reason one doesn't exist is that the overhead of running a very similar platform via HLE (i.e. one with the same ISA) is negligible. If OSX was still on PPC, for example, running Wine-on-PPC-OSX would work much better via transpilation than via HLE.

Speaking of PowerPC, a better candidate for "transpilation for performance purposes" would have been the PPC apps run under the Rosetta HLE emulator built into OSX. These apps could have been chewed-through once to produce a Carbon-linked x86 binary, that binary cached in the PPC binary's resource fork, and then executed immediately from then on. But Apple themselves had little reason to do this—they didn't want to give anyone an extra incentive to continue using PPC software instead of moving to x86/x64 software.
I think the keyword is significantly. If Uber tripled or quadrupled their prices, I think they'd be fairly vulnerable to regional competitors. Even an increase of 1.5x seems like it'd be hard to pull off.

Speaking anecdotally, I know for sure that I'd use a cheaper alternative to save $5 even if it took an extra 10 min.
I'm sorry, but it's your level of understanding in cosmology and physics that is the problem here.

1 - I'm not claiming that the standard model is the ultimate mode. I'm just claiming that following the assumption of the Big Bang which is part of the standard model, then the existence of a God before the creation of the universe is a de facto impossibility.

2 - Something that may or may not exist outside our universe, can't have any influence or even be able to observe our universe. This, is not a theory, it's the definition of Universe. Thereby, the most your could say from the Plato's cave allegory, was that a God created the cave, but that the rest of the world where that God was must have existed before he himself came to exit.
Bos Arsenal Arsene Wenger mengungkapkan ia akan sibuk
I bristle at the sentiment of "things that are bigger than me." Perhaps my aversion to this notion stems from the fact that I've worked (mostly) in small companies. Folks at my now bigger company say things like: "above my paygrade" or "out of my hands" or "I'm too low on the totem pole."

I admit that by straining to fix these hard things, I'm often going outside of the formal role I hold at the company. I'm fine with that. Others may not be at times. For me, the straining is required. We have a cultural goal to "think like an owner" and that is how I typically justify my behavior.
If the number is linked to me, i.e. if they're selling "anon has cc X", then that should fall under existing breach of privacy laws.

If it's just the number, i.e. "A cc with number X exists", I'm ok with that.

If they use the number to make purchases, that's a criminal offence separate from knowledge of the number per se.

Think of it like this: seeing a person get murdered isn't a crime. Facilitating murder in any way is.
It's one of the great misconceptions. You can't tax a corporation, you can only tax people.
>Fair enough, though I thought about it for some time and came to the conclusion that if the government really wants to get you, they have so many possible avenues that you're screwed

The problem I find is even when they don't really want to get you, you still suffer from the overextension of control.

What I mean is the lack of widespread and total control technology retains some "pockets of clean air" where people can be free -- in places and times outside total control.

Marijuana for example has been illegal for decades, but millions managed to smoke it -- because, although not perfectly safe from prosecution, it was however possible to do so without anyone noticing. Not so in a future with tens of sensors everywhere, automated substance tests, etc.

That's one example, and lots of people don't care about such a "freedom to roll one" anyway, but there are thousands of other activities that are or border on the illegal but have been nethertheless essential for our humanity, sense of freedom and culture.
Bingo. People need to be able to both offer and receive criticism without involving their ego. Both of these are hard, but i think the latter is considerably harder.
Well, yes, it allows for that :)

Yes, this is indeed what I meant.

(Although, the fact that something is very easy to test also makes it less likely to be claimed falsely. I would be extremely surprised if there wasn't a recorded hospitalization.)
So, people are allowed to make their own choice that they want privacy? Then what were you responding to when you said "no, it's not up to you"?

True unless the server is not on the public internet. In that case, pulling the plug if port 22 is accessed would be a reasonably defensible idea (you are being attacked for sure, and it's hard to attack a machine that is off) ...albeit paranoid in the extreme.

In this imaginary world, would you really be worried about the future like that? Would that be a reasonable fear? And if things would suddenly turn dystopian, do you really expect privacy would protect you from an evil government hell-bent on getting you?

Privacy seems to be a mitigation strategy. An insurance for the future, as 'jib said. It may seem like it's in your best interest to pursue it. But it is also worth considering whether this isn't a coordination problem - where the locally best choice for an individual is a very bad when aggregated over entire society.

Anyway, in real world we won't get either perfect privacy nor perfect transparency. The question is, in which direction we should move from the status quo? It's a multidimensional problem; there are many components to privacy that could go either way. Personally, I'm in favour of everyone knowing more about everything, and reducing both means and incentives to lie to one another. "Everyone" includes the government too. I want to trust them. But they do have to earn it, and trust is in short supply nowadays.

> The fact that Apple effectively pays less than %10 corporate tax rate in the US is, I think, what the parent poster was referring to.

Can you source this claim, please?

The only sources I've seen that make this claim arrive at this number by treating Apple's worldwide sales as if they were entirely US sales, which is an absurd basis for this calculation.

I'm having a hard time seeing why you couldn't take something like a fat bike, and put an electrical assist motor on it, and have troops use that, mostly by pushing it. If you run out of battery, it still works 100% except now you have to push all the weight (or pedal, which could also be used to charge the battery). Gotta leave in a hurry? Use the bike, or just throw it away. Slash the tires and it's pretty much useless for the enemy.

I'm saying that the author believes 99% reliability to be “Bad (TM)”. Further evidence in the second paragraph of this post: http://danluu.com/broken-builds/

I didn't say that this is a normative viewpoint in engineering or whether I personally agree with it. As you can see from other commenters, many do hold this view. A sometimes opposing philosophy, however, is “release early, release often” which many open source projects adhere to.
Ideally, you should have more granularity in the permissions of restricted accounts, with the option to let the second profile install app but with a prompt for the admin password when a new permission is required or a payment is started.

Sadly, AFAIK, there is no way to do that.

As far as ignorance goes, check out this fascinating quote from the judge:

"In fact, as plaintiffs point out in their submissions, Deputy Burns testified that, at the time he tested the plant material he discovered in plaintiffs’ trash, he had no knowledge that anything other than marijuana could test positive on a marijuana field test kit and that he was “not aware” of the possible occurrence of false positive test results. Deputy Blake’s testimony on those issues is substantially the same. Moreover, Sheriff Denning testified that, since he came to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office in 1978, the Office has conducted “thousands” of field tests and the only false positive results of which he is aware are the results at issue in this case."

Apparently the judge is under the impression that this justifies his ruling, rather than damns both him and the entire police department.
Looks like I have to play bad cop here. I appreciate the openness, but as a potential customer... not so much. Because while sentences like this are kind of inspiring:

Instead, let’s give ourselves permission to fail.
...
And you know what? It’s okay if we’re not. If Keen busts, we’ll all find new grand adventures.

As a (no longer) potential customer, they clash harshly with this one:

In last week’s outage, we had our first major data loss in over 12 months.

Because you know what? When I trust you with my money and my company's data, I don't want those precious assets to be with someone who's been given permission to fail. I really do want it to be someone who tells the troops this: "Let’s double-down, work through the weekend, push through the issues, get ‘er done, rally!"

The issue to me is public declarations vs private thoughts.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with waking up covered in flop sweat, wondering if you're destroyed your business and the job situations of people you genuinely like and appreciate.

However, I've found that a good part of leadership is, in fact, shutting the hell up when "routine" bad things are happening because too much openness can stress out employees. By "routine" I mean pretty much anything other than the certain death of the company, at which time they deserve reasonably early notice).

How though? There's remarkably little information in there for being a whitepaper. If all they do is drop Christmas-tree packets and bogus UDP/ICMP traffic, that's not much in the way of protection. I'd like to see exactly what/how they're doing. How do they know what traffic is malicious? Do you get a control panel to block certain L7 traffic? What L7 inspectors do they support?

Sorry, but I'm not buying it.
"Their share" is exactly what's up for debate. You make it sound like the US Government has a number and they're failing to collect because Apple is strong arming them. The US Government has the largest military in the world by a far margin and Apple has roughly zero physical might. If the US wants Apples money they can easily take Apples money. Until that point they're just talking.
