Moving heavy things is quite routine. Mammoet [1] is one of the leading companies in that business. One of their unusual tools are fleets of Self-Propelled Modular Transporters. These are wheeled self-propelled platforms with hydraulic lifts. All wheels are powered, steerable, and liftable. [2] Each platform can lift 44 tons per axle. These can be ganged together to make big moving platforms. Hundreds can be ganged together if necessary. They're all coordinated by onboard computers, so that one person with a wired remote can control the whole system.[3]

As a company, Mammoet is unusual. The company has been in business for over 200 years. The headquarters is in the Netherlands, in a round building called "The Bollard", which they moved once. (Yes, the whole building.) They operate all over the world. They have seven locations in the US alone. Because of the nature of their business, they run a training academy and have very well trained people. Their basic approach is to plan very carefully, be very cautious, and then do the big job very smoothly. Mammoet is the opposite of "move fast and break things". They move slowly and don't break things. Yet they usually finish ahead of schedule and under budget.

They're hiring.

The rise of greedy robots
It's more flexible than that. A lot of indies are just one guy, but you certainly see small studios of 6-12 people doing e.g. Kickstarters.
An HTTP request is not hacking. It's a GET followed by a 200 OK. The server has the option to redirect to a paywall, or respond with 403 Forbidden, or do any number of things. That they are responding with 200 is not a bug that we're exploiting maliciously.

Original Diablo was originally going to be turn based, but that design was scrapped later, replaced by the more action-oriented stuff. :)
There's no down-side for the FBI here. Even if they lose in courts, all the way to the Supreme Court, they're going to lobby in Congress for anti-crypto-in-phones (and probably all devices).

And they won't stop doing that. (It sucks that we're the ones paying for that lobbying, but that's kind of beside the point).

If Crypto Wars II goes in favor of privacy versus surveillance, expect Crypto Wars III. And IV. That's the thing about bad actors who are embedded in the state, they can afford to just keep trying. And at some point there will be some Big Event that will result in very bad knee-jerk legislation, or someone will slip in a ban on consumer crypto right next to something unrelated like waterways legislation, and we'll be back on the road to the Supremes again at best. The most secure "enclave" doesn't help you if you can't legally make the product.

I don't have a solution other than to change the makeup of the FBI and other actors, somehow.
Exponentiation (or tetration) is as much a symbol, it's just not explicitly penned down for brevity. The question could ask for a limitation on operators, but then I think it's outside the scope of the class.
> The point I was making is that a preference for reading email on a phone...

I agree with that point - that personal preference over standard operating procedures is the likely motivator, but your pointing to the origin of the phone as some kind of evidence of logical exclusivity doesn't hold up.

> The security requirements I was referring to were that you couldn't bring your personal phone into secure facilities.

So your method of determining an individual's motives in an environment of uncertainty begins with "Throw out everything we know for a fact about this person..."?

> I wasn't referring to information classification, I was referring to bring-your-own-device policies, which were non-existent or underdeveloped at the time.

BYOD policies did exist and were well developed at the time, they were very simple: "Don't." That was made pretty clear in the article, so I'm not sure how you don't know that, unless you are confusing "underdeveloped" with "not what I want".
Interactive Resume of Robby Leonardi
What he defines as "expensive" is ~$1-2 a month when all the websites are hosted on the same box.

My understanding of his argument is that CMS software traps the nonprofit while quite the opposite is true. CMS software actually gives a nontechnical user many more options to get work done on their site outside of the programmer community. Anyone can hire a cheap Wordpress guy.

This whole idea that we are trapping anyone or locking them into some expensive solution is laughable. One of our customers who is 70+ years old owns a nonprofit doing 1MM+ revenue/yr. He's been paying $5000 a month for their Wordpress site hosting. That means when he switched to us he saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in the grand scheme. This is an extreme case but many of our users have been overpaying for things they really don't need.

I just don't understand how anyone can criticize what we are doing as harming nonprofits. He's living in a fantasy if he thinks the average nonprofit can even understand what "static site" means.
> And as a site owner you cannot optimize your ad provider scripts.

You can, if you directly negotiate ad contracts.
Is there any advantage to moving JavaScript to the bottom of the page when most browsers support <script async> and <script defer>?
Some valid points, but I was mostly commenting in the context of it being a rental and expecting a car to be like other cars.

> ...the same as it would be in some other EU cars

"some" (which, out of interest)?. Not anywhere near being a majority e.g. BMW, Audi, Ford, VW

> Similar to the speedometer erring on the side of caution.

I can do that. I can set it to 119 instead of 120. Leave me in control (OK, it's the cruise control feature, but still...)

Again, the parking pedal is unique(?) to Mercedes. Completely different to expected location and behaviour to most other cars.
I read somewhere else about the move from turn based. If I recall correctly (sorry, no citation), the game was feeling a bit static, pretty much as you described. Somebody built a prototype live mode and that was when the game started feeling good.
First impressions on Clojure
I thought this at first, too, but giving the author the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they meant that if someone deletes their account, you should actually delete their account, not just disable it.

I haven't seen anyone do this, but as a user, I would prefer an option for my account information to be emailed to me in a relatively readable format, so that I can keep my data / re-upload it if I ever want to undelete my account.
If you want to just mess around with 2D animation, check out Spine. It's for games, but I found it very useful for quickly visualizing some of the concepts I read in animation books.
Thank you! Yes, we're approaching it with a Unix philosophy :)
I don't see e.g. a GitHub repo to comment on, but the HSTS header example is `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubdomains; always`

`always` has no meaning, and probably indicates a typo in an nginx configuration.

As others have pointed out, there is other TLS advice here that you shouldn't follow blindly, like a 4096-bit cert (especially if your intermediate is smaller) or TLS 1.2 only. Rationales and trade-off explanations would help avoid misuse of this checklist.

The SSL Labs checker is probably the best tool to use for all the automatable TLS checks.
What is remarkable to me about Diablo is how little it has changed. Dungeons and environments are more sophisticated, but at its heart it remains the game described in that doc, just better.
You could count sunny days by encoding the count as different states in a more complicated markov chain:

sunny1 -> sunny2 -> sunny3 -> sunny4 -> sunny5.

But as with regular expressions, you can't go to arbitrary depth.

> By the same logic

Your "hacking" analogy is irrelevant; hacking and contracts are completely different categories of law.

> the law

I am very familiar with contract law. You might want to read about it sometime. HTTP does not involve an offer, a meeting of the minds about the obligations the contract would create for each party, or anything that signals acceptance of the offer.

If you want to argue that an HTTP request creates any obligation for either party, then you need to show the elements[1] that created the contract.

Not sure if Tezhi Luzhanqi or L'attaque (1910) qualify as ancient games, but let me play a heuristically tuned AlphaStratego mesosphere and I'll beat it 5-0, now and for the next 5 years at least! Jack6/Shark bridge AI doesn't consistently beat the top human pairs yet.
Then there are Connect6 and Emergo.
I would definitely join such a network (I am a professional developer), as I think that programming can, and will, have a big impact in society.

The only thing I would make clearer in the webpage is what kind of a network will be.

Are events going to happen in which some projects with such impact will be presented and participation encouraged?

Are companies interested somehow in this concept?

If it is not focused on volunteering, how do professionals profit, or how would they be encouraged to participate?

Overall it seems to be a good idea but I think it needs more definition.
Exploiting a server that exposes a root console by mistake would also be fine under the same logic. You haven't given any principled distinction between the two.
So glad they dumped the turn based stuff! I've played through both I/II (prefer I) and it has some of these features. If I recall correctly the movement is somewhat grid based (but enables the player to move in more than 4 [8?] directions).
There's no code here - iOS is closed source
Ok, the latching magnet is pretty cool. I definitely want some cabinets with those as latches.
Sure, he even acknowledges that by writing that in FreeBSD world back compat is more important than security. There's obviously nothing wrong with that as long as you're OK with this trade-off. He isn't, sucks for him then. :D And calling him OpenBSD zealot that is trolling is, well, trolling. ;)
Hey, thank you! We're building out "git for deployment" - starting with a series of commands to make it easy to deploy to and develop with Kubernetes, and working our way to application versioning (capturing and versioning the expected state of an application before it's deployed by an orchestrator, like Kubernetes). Then, we'll make money on the "Github" - collaborative deployment tools built on top of our versioning workflow.
I was the Web Developer for a well known environmental charity for 2 years. ~10 years experience. Was earning 63k AUD plus super (no bonuses).

As I discovered later, the average salary for the same role in the for-profit sector is around 80k AUD plus super in Tasmania.
Love the Convox team! We're both trying to make deploying to our respective orchestrators (EC2 for Convox and Kubernetes for Redspread) easier.
"Friends and family" are perfectly fine with gimp or even something simpler.

Telegram owns Whatsapp across the ceiling and down the walls in every aspect (only one I'm not sure about is security and for that one I don't know.) We already converted the inlaws (yep, big family) few months ago and it works like a charm.

An 50 year old electrician was the first to show me Ubuntu back in 2006 and he was enthusiastic about it.

So no, I don't buy it.

Of course many of them will never care, but that is because they don't care, not because there aren't alternatives.

Edit: saw employers mentioned. In that moment we are suddenly talking about professionals who just happens to be friends and family as well. In that case Photoshop might be a good solution.
No, that isn't the problem at all.

When you understand why, you'll be better-equipped to work towards real solutions.
I wonder if that could have unintended consequences. Would people feel better about pirating if such a thing existed?

It reminds me of the study in Freakonomics about day care centers and the problem of parents sometimes not picking up their kids on time. Which meant that employees would have to stay after closing. So they started charging parents a small fee for being late. The result was that parents were more late than ever, since it meant they no longer felt guilty. The fine removed the guilt associated with being late.
How can it be that expensive to dump a database?
Snowden generally seems not to open his mouth unless he has something worthwhile to say, so I imagine he might have addressed this in the actual talk of which this article is such a brief summary, but: what choice do we have? No, it's not great, but we typically use government power to check corporations, so I don't see anything inherently wrong with using corporations to check an unaccountable, runaway government.

The site looks good. Landing page has good description about the tool.

I don't see many templates except that gradle one, do you have more or is that yet to come?
Unfortunately that has been my weakest point so far. I think I might have the wrong idea about the cost of a great design (i.e. I might not be offering enough to go from good to great).

If you like https://wormhole.network I can put you in touch with the designer. She's professional and fast - I just now think it doesn't look as great as I thought at first :)
Is your startup diverse enough? A 5-step plan to get on track
My previous company was paying senior C++ devs in Brisbane about AUD140k plus super, plus (worthless) options in 2013.

I'm contracting now, so nothing more current.
Jails are a mechanism, not the mechanism. OpenBSD has chroot for most of the same use cases. Virtualization is long overdue but it's coming. ZFS is not my kink but I get it why people want it. Having worked on CoW file system for three years I came to the conclusion that its perceived appeal is what sells it, but use cases are very few (if any) without system-wide control service. :)

I have not used beadm though - what's the kicker?
>They've developed it and it was adopted by everyone and their mother for being good and cheap FS.

No, it was adopted in order to have Windows compability, which you need given the Windows desktop monopoly and since Windows refuses to support any filesystem it won't get royalties on.
It is the 2.0 version of the editor. It will come out eventually. (disclosure: I work with these guys)
But the answer isn't even correct, and it's the bad kind of pedantry. It looks myopic, but with a flair for overgeneralization (an attack on Common Core itself).
There was supposed to be a cutscene [1] which played when you opened the door (similar to when you first encounter Lazarus), but it was apparently disabled. The video file was still left on the game disc.

I wonder how this compares to Western companies? Has anybody got any figures? I know that Tesco in the UK sometimes took over a year to pay suppliers.
That looks like a very nice solution, and probably covers what most people would want out of Google Analytics for a simple site. Like you said, for a personal site, stats are for curiosity and the vanity/need to know how many people came to the site. But still, that's not quite true - you might start writing more articles about a topic which got lots of traffic, for example. That's not mere vanity or OCD, that's site optimization.

For a simple site, weblogs probably give enough information to perform site optimization. I do think that there are lots of stats any website of sufficient scale needs to fine-tune operation/marketing which are NOT available via weblogs and in fact require some JS to be on the page.

There should be a way to get this limited information without infringing on privacy and without having data gaps from ad blockers.
A Free Brin Story: “Reality Check”
Good comment. To expand on this in particular, as I haven't seen anyone else mention it:

> Do forms set a cross-site request forgery cookie?

Some legitimate forms of CSRF mitigation do utilize a cookie, but the checklist is dangerously misleading as worded. An anti-CSRF token in a cookie will do absolutely nothing on its own - it needs to either be in a header or the DOM, as you mentioned.

Any forged request an attacker compels a victim to send will include all cookies, not just the session cookie, rendering this protection useless.

Why is Microsoft "irresponsible," in your words, if they don't extract maximum value from their patent portfolio, but Apple is a troll? Doesn't Apple likewise have an "obligation" to their shareholders to maximize their value based on your implication?

An Idea for Referenced Code-Review on GitHub [video]
Charge your phone anytime, anywhere
Based on 3+ years of employment with a large federal agency, what you are saying ins't correct. I obviously cannot speak for every federal agency. However, at my organization FOIAs are routinely distributed to individuals/divisions that are likely to have pertinent records. The main thing that we are required to search are e-mail inboxes (to include archived e-mails) and local paper/digital files (e.g., paper documents and electronic folders). If there are other databases/systems that an organization owns the records for, then those must be searched as well.

There are three main problems with the way FOIA requests are fulfilled. 1) They are incredibly time consuming to do properly, 2) Very few additional resources are given in order to alleviate the time consuming process, and 3) the process for tasking and responding to requests is grossly inefficient. The requests are literally sent out via e-mail and responses back are sent via e-mail attachment.

To paint the picture a little more clearly, let's say someone submits a FOIA request for all records related to the "Boston Bombing". For a broad search like that, hundreds if not thousands of people will be searching through their records. Those hundreds/thousands of people each find five documents which they have to send back to the agency's FOIA office via e-mail attachments. Most of the records are duplicates (e.g., an e-mail sent out to a distribution list), but everyone still has to send their record in. Let's just say it is a very frustrating process for everyone involved.

I hope it doesn't sound as though I am making excuses - quite the opposite. Merely pointing out that while there are definitely issues that affect accuracy, they might not be the issues everyone assumes.

Perhaps this is a sector that is in need of some innovation/disruption =).
It sucks when your phone battery dies, so we developed a way to charge your phone using your hand's thermal energy. This removes the necessity to charge your phone or its external battery at a power outlet.

The world's 1 billion smartphone users with this phone case will able to use their phones at any time of day, whether stuck in public transit or lying on their beds.

Previously, campers and public transit users spent hours charging external batteries. Now, millions of smartphone owners will be able to use their phone anywhere.

Years later, millions of Americans will be able to power all their electronics without relying on natural gas, nuclear power plants, or solar panels. This will destroy their utility bills and alleviate global warming - or so we hope.
Behaviour Tree's would be easier to model and write with existing libraries that implement the decorators (wait for, etc)
Agreed, but Android's made some pretty good strides on that front with Android 6.0. Just got it yesterday and, while a few apps were confusingly broken until I went digging (my audiobook app looking in a no-longer-extant path for the SD card, as apps get their own virtual storage path in 6.0), I'm pretty happy with the changes.
>> and using PBKDF2 is just fine if that's all you've got.

Yeah, people spend way too much time wondering if they should use scrypt, bcrypt, PBKDF2, etc. There are legitimate differences, but unless you know those ahead of time it's almost certainly better to just choose one instead of waffling around.

I don't have a Google Container Engine account or kube cluster yet. So big props for making it easy to set one up locally.

Because of this I had to hunt for how to install kubectl. I found a snippet on one of Kelsey's guides

https://github.com/kelseyhightower/intro-to-kubernetes-works...

```
curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/bin.kuar.io/darwin/kubectl
chmod +x kubectl
sudo cp kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
```

It could be helpful to inline in the Localkube Readme.

I'm having some trouble with the example mattermost app, `spread build .` is stuck on "Waiting for load balancer deployment...".

I did a bit of debugging the docker logs / containers. One time it was stuck waiting for the database. The second time it got past that. The mattermost platform server is running on the container.

I'm looking at the `localkube` container logs for more hints. Even with this I can't believe I'm playing with and debugging with my first kube cluster in minutes.

Great tools!
Thanks for the heads up! I'm always very impressed with the EFF and what they do with my donations :)

I'll install it on my personal computer. An irony I have is that as a worker in the analytics field, I can't block ads or analytics on my work device despite knowing better than most the extent to which they track me. But when doing QA on a screenshare, I can't afford the chance of forgetting I have a blocking solution on and then not seeing any analytics requests pop up.
