DC and AC don't matter for generalities (though there are significant differences in how a given device will draw power from an AC or DC source, the underlying principle is the same).

A DC power supply can still largely be modeled as a DC voltage plus some small amount of resistance, capacitance and inductance. This will give it a characteristic impedance for a short-circuit which is the only limit on how much power can be drawn from it.

Aha! I found where the confusion is in this sentence:

> If the charging device can use more current, nothing happens. There is no way to pull "unsupported" amounts of current out of something.

This is wrong. If you draw too much current, then something bad will happen. The UL just makes sure that "something bad" isn't "will start a fire or electricute someone" it could very reasonably be a component of the DC power supply that fails with an open-circuit, which would then need replacing for the power supply to work again. In some cases it may be a part specifically designed to be a fuse, in other cases they may just take a diode, MOSFET or resistor that they needed anyway and choose a part that will die if too much current is drawn.

Dell is claiming that their USB ports will not die permanently in this case, but will shut-down temporarily, more like a self-resetting circuit breaker than a fuse.

I agree, there is no ghost. Consciousness is an emergent behavior of those elements: neurons, their interconnections, neurotransmitters, etc.

However, in theory it may be possible to reproduce those elements down to a molecular level, allowing the emergence of the "original" consciousness from new matter.

So, if you imagine that "ghost" is metaphorical speak to, say, to summarize, the film is not strictly wrong.

I manage a small Security team where I work. We have a very good security awareness training program we've built out over the years. I'm biased, of course. I helped build it. We may never solve the human aspect of security entirely. However, we have one thing in particular that works well.

The most effective part of our program is the internal phishing attempts. They aren't annually or quarterly but almost monthly and sometimes weekly. It works very, very well and keeps phishing at the top of everyone's mind. There is nothing quite like teaching someone how easy it is to be caught off guard by showing them how easily someone can be phished and how they took the bait. It disarms them and the ego part of the conversation. It makes it a psychologically safe element of the corporate culture. It changes the conversation from "You're a dummy <3 SecOps" to "It can happen to anybody. In fact it's happened to a number of important and very smart people here. Stop, Look and Think before you click or fill out that form or send that file/information."

It's an interesting part of our security awareness program. In fact, we've built out a small application that sends the phishing email with a remote <img /> to track the email view(see the bait).

We then track them hitting the link through a unique URL (taking the bait), and track the final push of a login button or web-form (swallowing the hook entirely.)

It allows us to track how effective the campaign is and understand who may need some remedial training and of course how we can better improve the security awareness training because if a high percentage take the bait, the security awareness training wasn't effective.

In fact, I sent this article around the office this afternoon and sometime mid-week, plan to send another phishing attempt to see if it helped.

This strategy of course requires an organization to be fairly emotionally intelligent and have the right corporate culture. One of trust and transparency in a psychologically safe environment where people aren't mocked or made fun of but properly educated if they take the bait. I know that this kind of culture may not be the norm.

NOTE: We don't have as much to secure as a SnapChat and we aren't a high profile target. We just figured these things were the bare-minimum things to do to protect our employees and our customers.
I just finished up watching almost all of Ghost in the Shell, from the original movie to Stand Alone Complex; I still need to re-watch Innocence. Originally I'd gotten into it back when I was a wee teen in the early/mid 2000s, and I hadn't completely understood the topics and commentary then. It was just cool action sequences with intriguing characters and an engaging story. All I can say now is, wow; the series is on-point. It's top tier sci-fi, up there with the likes of Neuromancer and Blade Runner. SAC is awesome and I liked it the most, since it has some really nice side episodes that expand on the world, like the one where the one Tachikoma's (a Tachikoma being this spider like mech with a nascent AI) neural net starts to develop beyond its parameters due to some "natural oils", but the whole series is amazing.

Just don't watch the original video animation things (OVA), which are basically two movies that each are amalgamations of Stand Alone Complex's two seasons. Not only is Batou's voice different, they don't do SAC any justice. Those things should be banned.

When I was in London a few years ago I used to cycle to work and the buses were the worse. Taxis would beep or gesture at you, but at least they gave you space.

One time I was stopped at a set of traffic lights waiting for them to turn green. It was on a tight bend and I was about 20cm from the line, and 50cm from the inside of the road. A bus came up and decided for whatever reason he had to get in front of me (even though there was a stop directly on the other side of the junction). There was enough space for a car, but definitely not for a bus as it was on a bend.

He slowly kept creeping forward, and the side of the bus kept getting closer and closer. I starting banging on the window as he got next to me, but no he kept going. I was far enough back that I was out of his blind spot. In the end I had to move onto the pavement.

I then walked to the front and banged on the door, gave him a few choice words and the driver just shrugged.

I think it could be a really interesting model for folks who need to run legacy Windows software in the future, as well. Instead of keeping a few XP machines around (lack of security patches and all) why not just spin up a lightweight ReactOS VM for just that one application?

Think of all the weird desktop apps, custom databases, etc. that small businesses, schools, and other non-technical orgs have baked into their workflow. Yes, eventually we'll have wonderful legacy-free versions of all of these available on the web but in the meantime wouldn't it be nice to give them some outlet to use them w/o paying an MS tax or dealing with the infinite upgrade treadmill?
Reading Between the Budget Lines – The Transition State
Simple answer: Yes.

Longer answer: I install any such extension with full knowledge of their potential to cause breakage, and consequently my first reaction to a broken page is to issue a reload with the extension disabled.

The web being programmatically accessible and end-user-malleable is a strength, not a weakness.
> Don’t store data in containers

You could manage your own data volumes or else let docker do it for you. I don't see the difference. In the end, you will still need a backup policy. I snapshot all data every 30 minutes for storage on another device. Nothing would change to that policy when using external data containers.

> Don’t ship your application in two pieces

Internally -and externally provided software have different dynamics. Issues are different. I update my own software with bug fixes and new features quite frequently. I don't need to do that for externally provided software. If that happens, I will indeed rebuild the container. In all practical terms, my own software sits in a host folder where I can update it, without rebuilding the container.

> Don’t use only the “latest” tag

I use debian:latest. I don't see a problem with that. It may lead to trouble some day, but then I just change the tag to the latest but one version before rebuilding. The problem has not occurred up till now.

> Don’t run more than one process in a single container

I have containers that internally queue their tasks. The queue processor is then a second process, besides the main network listener process. There are many reasons why it could be meaningful for a program to use more than one process. A categorical imperative in this respect is misguided. Other engineering concerns will take precedence.

You see, if I can reasonably split a container into two, I will. It's just like with a function. If it is possible to split it in two, I will most likely do so. But then again, such design recommendation should never be phrased as a categorical imperative.

> Don’t store credentials in the image. Use environment variables

Both are pretty much the same problem. If the attacker can read files containing credentials, he will also be able to read environment variables with them.

> Containers are ephemeral

A network-based service uses a long-running listener to process requests. Why shut it down? That would just disrupt the service. Containers may very well be long-lived. They are not necessarily ephemeral.

This subject is not part of a domain such as morality where categorical imperatives are the norm. There are pretty much no categorical imperatives in software engineering. Software is mostly subject to just an Aristotelian non-contradiction policy. If your choices are non-contradictory, feel free to go with them. Furthermore, unmotivated, categorical imperatives simply have no place in this field.

I agree 100% that a good build tool makes it easy to build in an automated context. But that's not relevant here, is it? make build is not less automatable than make. Sure, someone has to manually run make once to figure out what the actual build command is. But no person in his right mind would automate a build without running it manually once. I say this as someone whose job it used to be too automate builds.

I can't speak to the people writing books on coding, etc., but I have written a lot of product documentation and am thinking about doing it full time as an independent consultant.

The small startups where I have worked have had woefully bad documentation. Developers and support reps never have time or want to write it. I would say the most useful thing I have done for these companies has been to set them up with a basic Zendesk account and just start writing articles to answer the most basic support issues and how-to guides.

I have found these topics to be not very prone to political word-smithing. People are just grateful for the documentation to be written. The company word smiths and bullst artists would rather fight over the copy for the front page of the website than type up "Troubleshooting CentOS Client Installation". It's uncontroversial stuff.

You would have to offer a turnkey solution (set up a Zendesk or Confluence knowledge base for them, perhaps as a value-added reseller), propose a list of articles to be written, then knock it out in a couple weeks, with add-on work to keep the documents fresh with future releases.

Your sweet spot would be companies with 25 employees or fewer who don't have the money to bring in a full time technical writer.

I don't think you could make F-U money, but you could do much of it remotely, and it would be less stressful than other types of work. Your clientele would have to come largely based on personal reference.

Curious if others think this is viable...
Yeah the norms will be completely different. If an adult kept asking a bus driver or airline stewardess "are we going to be there soon?" while fidgeting and straining to look out the front windows, most people would consider that adult to be poorly adjusted to modern living. It will be the same for robocars.

Even in a "monolith" architecture, you usually have client side HTML/Javascript, a web server, business logic, and a database. Unless you have some huge traffic level, that scales. You can replicate the database, load balance the servers, add caches and a content delivery network if necessary. Those don't need much development; you buy those.

When the business logic is getting really complicated, and you're changing it rapidly, you may need to break it up into services. But
are you really that big an operation?

I didn't actually read your code to see if you account for this, but one problem with this simplification, at least the very brief "that's it" description, is the fact that promises may be resolved before you hook up the thing receiving the callback.

At least when it comes to the Chromebook Pixel, it could happen even with a A-to-A cable. Heck i have fried thumbdrives because of a very similar mistake to the one in the cable that fried the pixel.

Basically it had the data and power pins switched, thus feeding high amps where it should not be.

For myself, i managed to crosswire a case port (the supplied wire required me to attach individual pins rather than socket a fixed block).

The only major difference would be the amount of As bouncing around (the Chromebook, hooked up to a dumb wall wart, would get some 2-3As rather than the .5A my thumbdrive got).

Anyways, there also exist a proof of concept "badthumb" out there that is basically a capacitor that will reverse the polarity of the USB connection after having built up a sizable charge. This will likely take out at least the controller, if not more.

Actually neither of those matter much anyway. The energy transferred is primarily a function of the velocity difference (squared) and the mass of the lighter of the two objects. That is, a pedestrian will experience a collision with a car and with a bus in much the same way.

If the two objects are close to the same mass, i.e. car vs. car, the energy transfer will be reduced by up to 75%, but otherwise the mass of the larger object is immaterial. That is, a car-car collision at 60 MPH does equal damage as a bus-car collision at 30 MPH.
Thankyou! I've been saying this for a while, the current approach of 'driver assistance' or 'autopilot' is terrible. The more reliable the autopilot, the less attention the human 'driver' is going to be paying when the autopilot actually does say "okay turkey, you fly it" and shut off. And that is far more likely to happen in an unusual (read: hazardous) situation. You're self-selecting for a human panic reaction followed by a crash.

The author does make a valid point in that logs are harder to collect the more processes you add.

For example, I run gunicorn inside of a container with worker processes, and I had to do some trickery (writing to /proc/1/fd/1) to redirect the logs of the worker processes to the stdout of the master process so that they would show up in `docker logs`.
