Your link - which is interesting - concerns sanity check on private keys. I agree that such checks need to be implemented very carefully, since they handle highly-sensitive data.

However, I was proposing verifying the signature - which involves only the public key and the signed data, neither of which are likely to be all that sensitive.

Here's the thing. They should be able to lease equipment with restrictions. However, if you're going to call it a sale, then I don't see why they should have the right to restrict your ability to modify it. A sale implies a change of ownership. If they can restrict what you can do with the product after you bought it, then there wasn't really a change of ownership, was there?

linc01n's comment was a little unclear. SmartOS isn't doing anything with the LXC protect. What SmartOS has done is revived the branded zones code from Sun for emulating Linux system calls. This means that you can run Docker containers on SmartOS as zones, as well as use dtrace, mdb and ptools on your Linux binaries. You can read up some more here:

Really loved this actor. Sad to see him go. He brought us so much enjoyment over the years. Thank you, Alan!
By now everyone knows that expected payoff of working at a start-up is the same or lower than a big company, but with much higher variability. Everyone knows this.

The thing is though, no matter where you work, as a professional you'll spend 50+ hours a week working. The satisfaction you get from that time matters a lot to your happiness and sense of satisfaction. You could work at a large soul destroying company that MUST pay you more because you have to put up with their BS, or you could work at a small company where you can look the founder in the eye and tell him or her to change something you don't like (as this article disparagingly puts it, change the culture in two weeks). And the founder is going to listen because everyone on the team is dedicated to the same mission. Really where are you going to be happier?

The fact that start-up payoff is even remotely equivalent to big company salaries tells me start-ups are a great choice if you value things like your happiness, sense of accomplishment, self-esteem, impact on the world, etc.

Even expunged records can still be accessed by military and intelligence agencies. At a local (sometimes state) level, once an expungement order is processed the record is physically shredded, usually along with the expungement order itself. Federally the records are marked as expunged but it makes sense that if you're joining the military or applying for a job with an intelligence agency, that they should know about the court interaction, expunged or otherwise.
This is completely untrue. You can't look for planning information the same way you look for code snippets. This is like looking for medical research on Youtube. StackOverflow? Try https://www.planning.org/ and the Journal of the American Planning Association.

As well, in any profession with large public impact, there is a gap between what the professionals know and what the public accepts. A planner can tell you how to solve traffic congestion in a city with a bridge, but it might not be so simple for a politician to convince people to pay millions, or worse, alter their lifestyle to make it happen.

To give an example: do you think economists and policy professionals don't have a lot of ideas to simplify and improve the tax code? Then why aren't they implemented? Because lobbying and special interests, because talk radio, because social equality, because families, because people think of themselves as impoverished millionaires, because messy real-life stuff.

It's not all about money. Smaller companies, while yes, are gambles they often are a more enjoyable place to work. You get a larger sense of ownership of your area, have more responsibility than a large company generally gives you, and you have more potential for positive influence.

These all lead to a higher satisfaction in life than just what the $benjamin's$ can give you. If you're fresh out of school, you get more experience in a year than that crappy little project you'll be given at a large company and be chained to for four years.

Startups are a financial risk, but if it has a good culture, it can be a very rewarding place to work, which often leads to greater happiness.

Negatives exist: sometimes longer working hours, more demanding, less mentors/senior people to learn from, and when the culture is bad; it is really bad.

That's complicated.

For one thing, inner city murders are dispute resolution for people who don't believe in the courts far more often then they're random. If you're not involved in gang feuds, you can write off a good chunk of the murder rate. You also have to look at those stats adjusted for density. Chicago has a lot of murders because it is large, for example. Per capita it is unexceptional.

Cities are made less safe when only the desperate remain. Funding for services that contribute to safety (schools, mental health, homeless shelters, even police) crumbles with the tax base. A middle class re-immigration to the cities in theory brings with it the money and political will to rebuild those services. What we see now in decaying cities is not an essential property of cities, but an effect of their abandonment. New York is a great case study about how a city can clean up and bounce back from this, though it's tactics were sometimes flawed.

In places without the density to support transit, you are less likely to be the victim of a street robbery but also far more likely to die in an auto accident, particularly a DUI. I have insurance for my phone and a backup debit card at home. I only have one life.

So no, probably not. Particularly the further away ones. As "average daily hours in a car" grows, your safety does not.

Your company probably doesn't have the same economic qualities as Amazon.

Why not offer a discount for prepaid purchase of deliveries in bulk?

For example 10 for the price of 8.

Keep in mind that Amazon can show whatever price it wants to customers with Prime membership. And the nominal cost of delivering the digital benefits that come with Prime is close to zero...Amazon already has a lot of additional infrastructure under their control.

Good luck.
If someone told you, you couldn't do something, and the reasoning was some arbitrary, thinly veiled assertion of power over you, also this person is one of those types that always seems to find their way in such power despite everyone else preference to the contrary, but you had the means to easily bypass their authority. Wouldn't you be just a little tempted?

Keep in mind this is perhaps one of the few cases were you aren't totally powerless.
No, that was our key insight. Basically, you can think of it as, using something like Paxos requires all replicas to run the same code. So every replica checks for transaction conflicts. However, you actually only need one replica to detect a conflict, so there is no reason for every replica to run the same checks -- this is wasted work. Instead, we just make sure that each conflict is checked by at least one replica.

The other interesting conclusion is that there are other workloads like this. For example, it is possible to build a reliable and better performing lock server in this way as well (and there is an implementation in the github repo). So, you'd get something similar to Chubby, but where the latency to the server is only a single round-trip in the common case.
A couple of elephants in the room:

Why on earth were you running a hosting business with Cisco 2950s? Those are wiring closet desktop switches with tiny buffers. That alone probably caused a lot of pain. You didn't know about it, but they did.

Second, the Juniper J4350 is a software router based on BSD. There's no special hardware in there like ASICs. It's just a PC.

JunOS (historically) is based on BSD. They're moving to Linux now.

I love OpenBSD for small projects too, but let's admit that there was some bad logic in this decision making process. This could be called "how the mx10 saved my ass because I went with undocumented, unproven open source project that has been on github for 3 days" if the technologies were reversed.

ASLR makes exploits more difficult as long as you have true randomness. It is just a mitigation ... for another problem.

In this case the elephant in the room is stack injection and dynamic libraries. If processes where confined to a well known address space that was self contained ASLR would be useless.. But dependency management would be hellish.

Back to the case. OpenSSH has been openly criticize by 9plan teams for exactly the same reason openSSL has been criticized by openSSH team : too much complexity (not to say plan9 came to anything usable and were right (2 wrongs do not make a right)).

I do have a feeling as a physicist that the S in CS stands for Shortness of thinking. What is obscure is not profound.

And, at the opposite of engineers I don't believe that security is achievable at all on computers. It is like believing there exists a way to avoid triangulation with one strong radio source.

Computers leak to much information (especially in the physical world), and C is a map that is taken too much for the territory. Every bugs are exploiting a wrong mapping of concepts to implementation.

Modern security is like string theory, admired by everyone because it requires great technical knowledge to master, understood by none because it is way to complex for our "human" brains. We live in an era of belief in solutions.

A bit of critical thinking and of distrusts of experts and stuff that you cannot understand without devoting your life to a subject is at my opinion a must.

I distrust mathematicians for their capacity of dealing with the real world and its uncertainties, and cryptography (as much as functional programming, big data, algorithmic, IA, machine learning) is math driven in a pure Aristotelian world. Where perfection and harmony is the pillar of thinking.

I come from micro-electronics, I only see wires (that are antennas), oscillators, multiplexers, gates and basically a dumb automat I can automatize in respect to time of propagation of signal, and I know that modern computers under the hood are in the physical realm of relativity with approximate answers.

I theorize, build, measure, and retheorize ad nauseum until the product is measured to work the way I expect it to in the domain of validity with a good enough confidence and margins of errors are always on my mind to be controled.

Security requires a zero margin of ambiguity. Physical world is bound to heisenberg equation and coupling. Purity does not exist and this cannot be mitigated. The postulate of cryptography are wrong from the core. Real world always win at the end.

Aristotle way of thinking must die. Math is not science.
I see a number of current CPU related issues for Atom. I will look into using the performance diagnostic tools and see if I can contribute any new insights.

There are plenty of large companies where you can go to your boss, express dissatisfaction with some aspect (tech used, projects youre involved with) and get an almost immediate turn around on.

Conversely, there are startups (even ones just founded) where the CEO is inapproachable and your input wont affect culture/product/whatever one jot.

As a programmer, my satisfaction comes from writing quality code on systems that are in some way complex and commonly used. There's not a lot of satisfaction to be gleaned from writing a dozen CRUD apps.

Btw, citing 'impact on the world' as a reason to join a startup is a really good way of coming across naive imo ;)

EDIT: I also disagree with your point on 50+ hours a week. 40 hours is about right with 50+ hours during crunch periods - which should be rare (2-3 a year max).

Granted by, secured by, the effect is the same unless you believe people would enjoy the rights in the absence of something like government (specifically a gov't which effectively protects rights).

You've also got to factor in people's perceptions vs just statistics.

Take gun homicides for example. The vast majority of people who push for gun control that I've had discussions with (totally anecdotal, I realize) will cite mass shootings as a reason rather than gang violence even though the latter accounts for an astronomically higher percentage than the former.

The difference is that, if you're not in a gang you generally don't have to be concerned about dying in a gang shootout. A mass shooting on the other hand, could happen to anybody in a public place regardless of whether or not you've removed yourself from other likely causes. In other words, you have no control over the latter so it creates a higher level of fear even though it's rare.

Similarly, flying in an airplane exacts more fear than driving a car because when you're in a car you feel in control.

Lastly though, it is about more than just safety. I have 2 kids. I moved to the suburbs.

In the suburbs I can have more yard space and house space and room space and quiet for the kids to play than if I were in the city. Safety wasn't really a factor as much as just having space (for me at least).

Yup, partially comes from there and partially from a lot of the other research on willpower that has been coming out lately. While some of it has proved to be a bit overstated (at least in the press) and there probably isn't literally a such thing as "cognitive energy", I find it a helpful metaphor. Once you realize that you and others have a finite amount of it, you can start thinking clearly about how you spend it and why. The concept in your head doesn't have to be a 100% accurate reflection of reality to produce useful changes.
I have a lot of respect for Lisp/Scheme, but I wouldn't regard Emacs as the most maintainable of large scale apps. Besides, the ability level of the average Lisp/Scheme developer and the average Javascript developer is likely not commensurate.
On the internet you can always trawl for a few thousand users that happen to agree with you. When they say sixty percent, they mean sixty percent is their estimate of how many women would report sexual advances, based off of a survey taken by volunteers taking time out of their day to report on gender in the tech industry.
Quick Google, but see [0]. Moreover, there's no doubt that 60% is a clear majority, which is striking, to be honest.

EDIT: And I forgot the link :)

[0] http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/19/1-in-3-women-sexual...
What are you trying to accomplish by asking that (seemingly rhetorical) question?

Are you implying that 60% is an acceptable number because it may hold in other industries? Are you implying we should only focus on the industry with the highest rate of sexual harassment? Or are you implying that it's unfair to examine tech as a separate industry?

The fact is that tech is a particularly female-unfriendly industry, and it merits examination in isolation. Yes, we should examine all industries, but there's nothing wrong with a subset of people focusing on a subset of different industries.

Geeks are not finding their brides. They are not forming families and the average IQ is going down as a consequence. The women are not being taught to be helpers to the men enough, so much so that geeks are not successfully courting.

IMO, this is one of the most dangerous problems facing the world, because it means that in the future there might not be as many geeks.

I'm talking about any of the Buddhist religions. Many of the claims you make here can be made of the Abrahamic religions as well.

And, I call bullshit that you know what's in the Pali Canon. The vast majority of it is still in ancient Tibetan. You have no evidence to prove that there isn't dogma within it, nor is there any conclusive evidence that the "original" Pali Canon was all philosophy.

That's like saying the "real Bible" that Jesus heard from God was not the "actual Bible" that was written down. Perhaps the "real Bible" was only philosophy, and we humans added the dogma.

Plus - the existence of Buddhist dogma in ancient India is abundantly clear. Just go to a museum or Google it! What do you think those people are doing when they're bowing to the Buddha!?

You're also kind of an asshole to say Tantric Buddhism is a farce. Who are you to say something like that? I'm just stating a blatant fact that the Buddhist religions are indeed religions. Nothing more, nothing less.

Again - I'm not suggesting that Buddhism is bad. I think there are many beautiful lessons to be learned as you eloquently allude to. If you, as a person, connect with the Dharma, no one can take that away from you. Once you find a Sangha, it is profound and incredible. My goal is to clear misconceptions of the Buddhist religions, which many Westerners have.
Not the most interesting dataset though.
These results might be subject to survivorship bias: all the women who quit the industry before they got 10 years of experience because of these negative experiences are silent. All the women who dropped out of CS in college. All the women who went to a hackathon once and never again.
The nature of a lot of engineering (bog standard business logic and UI implementation) is such that a good engineer can adapt to shifting needs and focuses. For example, an engineering team can weather a shift from consumer to enterprise much more easily than sales/marketing. But non-engineering positions are also more monetarily and professionally rewarding in the case of success - a textbook example of high risk, high reward.

This is also related to how engineering is often viewed (correctly or not) as a young man's game. The most commonly cited reason for that is how there's always new stuff to learn, but even if there wasn't so much churn in the relevant knowledge, the fact that younger employees can grow and "catch up" professionally much faster than in other business functions plays a role.
Real-time raytracing would benefit so much from that.
