Thanks, that does make sense.

How does this compare to a cash-only business? Say I run a banana stand that only accepts cash. What level of proof does law enforcement need in order to look into more personal aspects of my life and business if they believe I am using it launder money?

IANAL but this feels similar to me.

What actions can a "site operator" take? Not sure what you mean by this. Are you asking what the system administrator of an arbitrary website can do? I'd start with stapling OCSP responses[0] to your TLS handshakes and refreshing them as often as they're updated by the CA.

Note that just having the CAs respond to browser checks (CRL and OCSP) is more or less useless as they're very easy to block (as you suggest) and fail open when blocked. What's needed here (for hard fail) is OCSP Must-Staple; however, this is in the early stages of adoption and it'll be a very long time before it can be relied upon. As Mozilla writes[1]:

> OCSP responders are not yet reliable enough for us to do hard fail. OCSP stapling will help to make hard-fail possible. Must-Staple will be a way to opt into hard-fail.

To answer your question on whether any will warn on soft failure: none that I'm aware of, outside of Firefox declining to provide "EV" treatment in the UI when OCSP fails or is not provided[1].

Note that some CAs, e.g., GlobalSign, are actually removing CRLs entirely from certificates given how useless they have been (and how little modern browsers rely upon). For more nuanced critiques of current revocation options see AGL's writings [2] [3].

The real question here is what the browsers can/should do? Google Chrome has a mechanism called "CRLSets" that they use to push emergency blacklisting of certificates:

From https://dev.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/crlsets:
> CRLSets (background) are primarily a means by which Chrome can quickly block certificates in emergency situations. As a secondary function they can also contain some number of non-emergency revocations. These latter revocations are obtained by crawling CRLs published by CAs.

And Mozilla has their "OneCRL"[4]:
> Using OCSP for certificate revocation doesn’t serve users very well. For online revocation checks, either you have a system that fails open or you accept the performance penalty of checks that are more strict (as is the case for EV certificates). OCSP stapling can remove the need for live revocation checks, but currently, only only around 9% of TLS connections use it. OneCRL helps speed up revocation checking by maintaining a centralized list of revoked certificates and pushing it out to browsers.

Not sure what other browsers have done — rarely troubleshoot with anything but Chrome or Firefox.

Hope this helps.

Whether morality is or isn't binary isn't quite the point you should be making. It's that not everyone shares the same views of morality. Some people find private property immoral, for instance. The reason that we have moral "gray" areas isn't so much because morality isn't binary, but more because what different people view of as moral varies. In a purely utilitarian sense, non-binary morality is more concerned with how closely an action comes to the "greatest good" in that an action can be morally good but not morally greatest good. But what defines the greatest good depends on how person defines morality.

Weirdly my experience with interviewing for an SRE role was the reverse: the phone screen was pretty much a straight programming problem (in a Google Doc, ugh) but then one of the on site interviews was very shell programming focused.

Bipartisanship has been poisoning this country for decades. Symptoms are only increasing in intensity.
Your comment is a bit ridiculous, which is why you're getting downvoted, but for different reasons my Massachusetts-based self takes Dean Kamen-related stuff with a grain of salt.

People may or may not remember, but back around 1999-2000 there was this insane, cult-like hype that his investors/hangers-on/groupies put out about how Dean Kamen had created the most revolutionary invention in world history. Nobody knew anything about it or what it was, but people were writing books about how genius mad scientist Dean Kamen was about to change human civilization forever.

Then we had the reveal that the mysterious invention was a new form of transportation. The Kamen cultists announced that it was going to replace driving. It was going to replace walking. (Yes, people actually said this).The hype soared higher than it's been for any product since, even the iPhone. People were speculating that he must have invented a hoverboard, like in Back to the Future, since that's the only thing that could have any chance of living up to the hype.

And then, in a worldwide multimedia event, on the evening news back when people watched the evening news, on the front page of every newspaper back when people read the newspaper, he unveiled… the Segway, a product that was more Hoveround than hoverboard.

Kamenmania disappeared virtually overnight. The nails were hammered into the coffin when it turned out it actually couldn't go up and down stairs as advertised, and then when George Bush fell off one. And so in my mind and many others' Kamen will forever be the Geraldo Rivera opening up Al Capone's vault of innovation.

This is kind of funny. You're saying that Soros should be heralded for forcing market rates, but that the Kochs are evil, because, umm, they're champions of the free market?

In any case, the information I have doesn't paint the picture the same way you do. Drawing from the same link I posted above [1]:

each country set their currency’s value in Deutschmarks. They agreed to maintain the exchange rate between their currency and the Deutschmark within an acceptable band of plus or minus 6% of the agreed upon rate. ... The British government was obligated to keep the exchange rate within 2.78 DM to 3.13 DM. ... while the people of Great Britain dealt with a recession, the government’s hands were tied; they’d just have to ride it out.

You'll note the word "obligated" there. By 1992, it wasn't their right to decide whether to follow the market or not. They were bound by international agreements to maintain the exchange rate to the Deutschmark.

Soros retorted with a different strategy: “Go for the jugular.”

If Schlesinger’s quote could be used as the catalyst for the pound to devalue, why shouldn’t today be the day it happened? Instead of slowly building up a short position against the sterling, [Soros's] Quantum Fund could short sell sterling on an unprecedented scale today. Doing so would not only help hasten the tumble of the sterling, but also increase the fund’s profit.

It was this decision to “go for the jugular” that netted Soros’s firm over a billion dollars, toppled the Bank of England’s currency regime, and ultimately led to the disgrace of the Prime Minister. It also cost the British taxpayers billions.

...

As Europe slept, Soros borrowed and sold pounds from anyone that he could. The Quantum Fund’s position exceeded $10 billion shorting the pound. Other hedge funds got wind of the the trade and the report from the Bundesbank and started following suit, also borrowing and selling pounds.

By the time London markets opened for business and British treasury officials started their day, tens of billions of pounds had been sold and the the pound was dangerously close to trading below the levels mandated by the ERM.

The Bank of England was about to have a very shitty day.

...
At 7:30 PM that night, Lamont held a news conference to announce that Britain would be exiting the ERM and floating its currency on the market. Soros and the speculators won.

So this wasn't some inevitable disaster. Soros largely caused the problem, manipulating the market by shorting 15 Billion GBP. In a market that was already shaky, Soros was the one to kick the animal spirits (to steal a Keynes meme) into action. It was likely that something would have happened, but Soros maximized the damage for his own profit.

Now, in what way are the Kochs literal villains?

Well it depends. Stack is just a data structure. I'd say that the fact alone that you go from a deep call stack to "iterative" version where you can clearly see the stack in the code doesn't automatically make it much better.

> What would need to change in order for these housing cooperatives to expand enough to reduce waiting lists to <1 year?

Waiting times are less than a year if you have an urgent need (eg growing family) and are willing to accept unpopular locations (eg next to a highway exit). But in general the waiting times are too long.

The biggest problem is that the regional government is conservative/nationalist and strongly influenced by a large bank that does a lot of property development. So there are a lot of political obstacles to new developments by cooperatives. I feel that the cooperatives are a remnant of the times when the social-democrats had more influence.

Free Books: Lessons in Electric Circuits
I'm not sure I agree that you need low level programming knowledge and experience. The industry is huge, and there's needs for a lot of talent with a variety of skills.

If anything, I would argue that the need for the low level languages is disappearing for the general case. As "The Cloud" gets bigger and bigger, and the low level things are handled more and more by a service providers, and they abstract more and more of the day to day, it makes it easier for you to focus on higher level problems.

I do think that the days of being purely ops and needing nothing but shell scripting are going away though. You gotta pick up some python or similar at this point.
I have actually wondered if online dating would have an effect on the gene pool over time. Perhaps to short of a time frame for "evolution" to be invoked, but selection perhaps.

Could be the seed for a script pitch for a dystopian future film there :)
