The problem is that there isn't an easy solution to this. We have made efforts to make things better for Tor users (see my comments in the linked ticket above) but at the same time there is abuse coming from Tor which we have to deal with and we see the amount of abuse increasing.

As I said in the linked thread we are about to allow our customers to whitelist Tor exit nodes so that Tor users do not get challenged when coming from an exit node that's been used for a lot of abuse. That will allow any customer to decide what's appropriate.

Heroku Embraces CI/CD by Automating Staging on GitHub
I am in the Fort Wayne area, but more than willing to relocate pretty much anywhere for a good fitting role. Unfortunately, many jobs simply will not provide relocation these days, even if you are willing.

I would be happy to work more as a DBA, and already have done some work in that capacity on a consulting project that focused heavily on SQLAlchemy and some database metaprogramming.

Unfortunately, my flexibility on the topical nature of my next job has not helped me much. Everywhere I interview still wants to hire people who fundamentally cut corners and de-prioritize quality, all while working for reduced wage and unacceptable benefits.

In all of my job searching, the only consistent thing I've seen is that companies want to enforce downward pressure on wages and benefits. It does not seem to matter how much quality degrades or how much market share they need to give up, so long as wages do not grow in any manner proportional to the value that a person's skills or experience can add.
I think google flags accounts as programmers and treats their searches differently. If I'm logged out of Google, searching for programming questions sometimes leads to sites on completely unrelated topics. Whereas when I'm logged into my account, from which 99% of my searches are programming intensive, I get all relevant programming results.
I have been using TaxAct for about 10 years. Thus far, I'm very happy with it.

There is one minor gripe that I have, they moved the location of the data files so the process of making a backup copy is a little different but that's easy to overcome once you're aware of it.

Not sure its that bad. This thing would be mostly akin to a big mylar sail. A micrometeorite at high relative velocity will punch right through making a nice cutout. As long as it doesn't hit the (small) payload I don't think it should disintegrate. But I would worry about all the atoms and ions hitting too. Space isn't empty!

1 - yes that is a major issue with SMS and why SMS use is in such sharp decline. I doubt the carriers will make the mistake of pricing RCS like SMS or they'll never get to break into messaging again.

2 - the iMessage to Android experience is still broken in many other ways. For instance if you were in any long-running group messages that were iMessages, your messages will be silently dropped until the thread is re-created explicitly.

Sorry, but the language should not only be practical, but aesthetical, too. Cutting "redundant" letters makes English texts look ugly. Also, being a harder is good - it helps develop brains better. If you dumb down everything, then you're dumbing down everybody.

Landing under a parachute is extremely problematic, but they can still be useful for braking before landing, and there's plenty of atmosphere to brake into orbit from an interplanetary trajectory.

Doing that last bit from a 200km/s arrival speed is going to be challenging to put it mildly, but because of the massive deceleration required and the massive heating.

Did you consider that maybe making a tiny wage is better than no wage at all? Even in SF? Did you consider that maybe she has personal/family reasons to live where she does?

It just seems a little ridiculous to suggest someone just "get another job" somewhere else without knowing basically anything about their situation. It also deflects from the issue that Yelp is paying these ridiculously low wages to their full time employees.

It's exactly what you mention. Plants don't feel pain in a way that can be considered on the level that animals do. You -have- to claim they do. We already know animals avoid pain and have a haunting conscious experience in slaughterhouses.

Having read this sorry bag of words to the end now I see their definition of Apple winning is the most cynical one possible: they are talking just about the PR win Apple gets from attempting to defend what is really important, the privacy rights of customers. They don't seem to think whether Apple succeeds in that attempt or not really matters, nor do they seem to think the underlying greater customer privacy concern (that of other users beyond this case) matters to Apple.

Their conclusion is stated in this staggeringly wrong paragraph:

"As mobile device forensics experts, we believe that, since Apple can create the software with confidence that it can never ever be used on another iPhone, they should reluctantly comply."

I doubt Apple has any such confidence. Matching the tool to a new phone would just be a matter of changing some configuration data such as keys and IDs.

Then later in the article, in a display of cognitive dissonance, they do a 180 and recognize that if Apple creates a pin cracking tool, it is likely the tool will be used beyond just this case.

And look at the chasm in their logic as they step through the implications of potential abuse of the tool:

"...you cannot make a backdoor for just law enforcement; the backdoor would possibly be accessible to anyone with enough skills and knowledge. So if these requests begin to multiply to the point where they are routine, or assumed in every case involving a phone, Apple and its brethren will then need to make a stand."

See what they did?

They acknowledged that the back door could be used by anyone, but then they pretend that all these people interested in using the tool will be submitting "requests" as if that is how it will work.

Yes, in a dream scenario where things do not leak, that could be the case. But these are supposedly security researchers writing this article. They should know that we don't live in a dream world.

But the authors, who have ties to vaguely specified US Government military entities including the US Army (the branch of the military which hosts, at its Fort Meade installation, the NSA) want Apple to play along and create a tool that could very well leak. They think everything will be OK because Apple can always make a stand after the fact:

"...if these requests begin to multiply to the point where they are routine, or assumed in every case involving a phone, Apple and its brethren will then need to make a stand."

It's a little too late then, though.

If a tool such as this were to leak, which is possible, then requests, and responses to those requests, would be moot. There would be no requests from criminals and rogue actors with access in governments; those people would just use the tool.

The typical response to "what if this leaks" from people of this caliber is to say "then make sure the tool doesn't leak!" But Apple realizes the stakes are too high, and the risk too great, so it wants to a more effective path, which is to not create such a tool in the first place.
For an international corporation, in a global economy, a government is just another customer. They can and will sue, like an upset customer can, but will anyone go to jail for this?

I'm actually not sure. The significant difference here, between the US government and any other government, is certainly a valid one. This is the government that oversees the country where their headquarters are located. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

I have no doubt we are witnessing an event that will have an insurmountable influence on legal systems across the globe. Either way, a significant precedent is being set here.

I think that sunlight is highly desirable, to an extent!

A building's function is to block unpleasant sun, but a window's function is to let it in and to control it. Artificial sunlight could enable more control over the sunlight factor.

Regarding circadian rhythm, it is not fully understood and blue light may not be the only important factor. Perhaps the visual sense that there is sunlight is also an important cue. But yes, blue light is clearly important. I would hope that any public lighting system would strongly take it into account.

For example, the color and feel should reflect what happens in the natural world! The LED lights being installed on city streets right now might cause problems for us (not to mention the blue light in our screens).

Unpleasant surroundings take a huge toll on people in cities. I am dismayed by the noise, pollution, lack of overhead cover, and threatening cars when I walk around SOMA and so many other places. A single tech like artificial sunlight won't cure all ills, but it is a tool that will help cities become larger and more livable.

Construction robotics, new materials, methods to better maintain plants and trees, and obviously transportation are also important tools in this fight.

Why would someone put a tor server behind cloudflare in the first place? If you are using cloud flare, you are using it to protect yourself from abuse (DDOS, etc). Doesn't allow GET requests mean you can DDOS things behind cloudflare then?

I'm skeptical that cloud flare can somehow be roped into 'corporate censorship' -- they IMHO clearly were not founded or intended to enable some sort of nefarious intent. Quite the opposite in fact.

> There's the other "but with this, we'll have to do a bunch of phones" argument... is there a term for being overburdened with writs from the court?

Yes, it is called "burdensome". It very well may be ruled too burdensome for them to unlock one specific phone, let alone all the others that have piled up. That is where the case was as of a couple days ago, with apple being asked by the court whether the request would be too unreasonably burdensome for them to comply.

You can try what my friend did, he kept spamming our old whatsapp chat with invitations to telegram until we all switched. A few of us, me included, we very reluctant to switch and held out for a while saying that whatsapp is great. Once I downloaded telegram and gave it the time of day though, I turned to love it in the course of a day and now I can't even understand how anybody uses whatsapp anymore. I could go on and list all the reasons why it's better, but I think it's simpler just to say that it's better on every front and feature(except no wifi calling, yet), and even has more features to offer than whatsapp.
>I think there are millions of people in the US who "want" to change their situation.

And there are 10s of millions who want to lose weight. Is there a significant social issue preventing the loss of weight, is losing weight an achievable American dream... or does want alone not achieve a dream? The problem isn't the lack of desire, it is the lack of discipline.

Even if we made becoming filthy rich as easy as losing weight why would people do the former when they still can't do the latter today?

Is this really the case? Can't most people can just file with a 1040(A or EZ) and be done pretty quickly. I was under the impression that you only have to break out the crazy worksheets or software if you want to get fancy with your deductions or take advantage of tax credits.

You can save alot of money this way, but really it's the deductions that are the complication (and the audit risk...) but how can you simplify the deduction process, you have to get specific by the very nature of the task.
If we dehumanize others we dehumanize ourselves. We are not objects, we are not economic systems, we are living social beings with all the flaws and all the potential, each and every one of us.

The individual clearly has to wisen up, and this reads like a welcome to the real world but that should not detract in any way from the real suffering caused by exploitative wages.

If a full time Yelp 'job' does not allow an individual to afford basics like shelter and food, let alone education, healthcare or family on what basis does it qualify to call itself a 'job'? This is exploitation.

The individual is not demanding luxuries from life, it can't be 'entitled' to expect basics like food and shelter after a day's work. So is it the individual or Yelp that is behaving in an entitled manner? And to fire someone for pointing this feels fundamentally wrong and boneheaded.

There is zero point for Zuckerberg or any other SFO millionaire to have billions in their accounts they can't use while real human beings who work for them have to suffer like this for months on end with rice bowls. How does that make any sense, in any way?

The cold and impoverished view on this thread justifies dismissing out of hand any 'concerns' from engineers on threads about outsourcing, work visas or any social thread that requires empathy as simply the market speaking. If you can't empathize with others don't expect empathy when it comes to your own personal situation?

You can't complain about outsourcing and also justify the market and unrealistic wages as one logically leads to another.

I am not claiming that my communication is good. I am only saying that in all the jobs I have had and many interviews, my communication and explanatory skill has been praised and cited as a positive attribute by others. It has been a strong asset for me ... that much is simply empirical fact.

But I thank you for saying that you find my communication style defensive, angry, defiant, and self-important.

I apologize to you for coming across that way. It means I am failing to write my true feelings and I am not living up to the high standard of communication that I set for myself even in a medium like Hacker News comments. It is helpful to hear this criticism from you, even if it's uncomfortable, because it gives me the chance to reflect on what I've written and try to discover how I could communicate it in a way that still expresses my personal values (such as the failure of open-plan offices) but without giving the incorrect impressions of e.g. defiance or self-importance.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about it with me. I sincerely appreciate it.
Probably not the best person to ask. I have a limited understanding of psychiatry but still tend to take a dim view of it. I think the brain is substantially more complicated than psychiatric theory suggests, and so I think that the modern science is far away from useful and accurate models. fMRI, for example, is a very gross way of examining brain function and seems to me rather like trying to read source code by examining the number of bits of entropy in a file.

I think that psychology is more useful for understanding the human mind, but even here I wish they would eschew the ersatz methods of science (stats, p-values, controlled studies) and go back to more qualitative descriptions of the psyche; we're not even close to successfully bridging between psychology and biology.

But this is all a lay understanding of the field and probably no better an insight than yours.

SPOILERS FOR WORKS OF ASIMOV

Your suggestion was a plot point in one of Asimov's original robot stories!

There was a robot on some hot, unforgiving planet or moon.. Io? Mercury? Its duty was to perform some kind of mining, I forget.

It never encountered humans that were not co-workers (supervisors) and it was expensive...

So, the engineers tweaked the weight of the second and third laws so that it would tend to protect itself from the environment, even if a human carelessly ordered it to perform some work that it might not survive.

The story started when careless orders were indeed given. The robot began to "act drunk", as in it was wandering around singing. The recurring character "robot psychology expert guy" showed up to unravel the mystery (which I already spoiled in the previous paragraph).
Is that really true though? My understanding here is that the biggest blocker is the code signing process - the FBI or the NSA could probably build a backdoored OS, but they couldn't install it on the phone without apple's signing cert. Depending on Apple's internal security, it may very well be impossible for a single person to sign anything other than an official iOS release, making it impossible for an agressor nation or a disgruntled employee or anybody else other than apple as a whole to get a backdoor onto an iOS device.
Modern x86 is quite competent as DSP using AVX. I think you are exaggerating. I have worked with LTE baseband as well, but admittedly never done an x86 LTE PHY. pCell claims to be doing quite complex network mimo LTE stuff on x86, still mostly vaporware though.

Regarding FPGA, of course you don't do the complete implementation in it, you accelerate the low level stuff, FFTs, coding, etc, as are already done in all baseband dsps.
>What about the marginal utility of time?

Everyone gets 24 hours in a day. The 'copious amounts' of free time of welfare recipients is capped. The same cannot be said of monetary wealth. Therefore the marginal utility of time has a lower limit that does not exist for the marginal utility of monetary wealth.

>In a protection racket, I am worse off than I would be if the racketeer and I never encountered each other. In the proposed uber for welfare scheme the recipient is better off.

In both scenarios the disadvantaged party cannot walk away from the transaction without loss in value. In this case, your implicit definition of 'better off' is 'lose less than they would otherwise'.

If you have just crawled out of a desert on the verge of death of dehydration and I sell you a cup of water for $100,000 and a pinky finger you may be 'better off' under your definition. Would you say that it is overall a value positive transaction?
