Tracking down a Swift compiler bug in Xcode
> millions of customer pubkeys is a pain

And millions of passwords isn't because ... ? Whatever solution the industry has arrived at for storing a large number of user passwords and authenticating against them, can be applied to SSH keys too. I would be greatly suprised if Github uses ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to handle SSH authentication at its scale.

> Python/twisted and Go have decent SSH implementations but

So is the case with HTTPS implementations. It's just a standard, how it's implemented is not under its control. On the other hand, we have some good implementations of HTTPS, and similarly we have good implementations of SSH too: libssh2.

> Shells are scary.

So don't use shells over the SSH protocol. Make the server execute (upon successful auth) something that isn't a shell.

> Windows...

Agreed. Until user-agents popularly support a protocol, adoption faces large obstacles.

> HTTPS with basic auth headers is much easier to scale

Easier how? You have to do less computation to verify the password? This has nothing to do with the transport, and everything to do with the cryptographic strength of the password. SSH is better here because of its good support of keys (versus TLS client certs).

MangoApps vs. Convo – Find Out Which Is the Best Team Collaboration Tool
When it comes to the best team collaboration software, Convo, created by Scrybe Labs, probably doesn’t have the name recognition or the funding of Yammer. Convo does, however, have a good share in the market with paid subscribers. This compelled us to take a look and see which was a better alternative, MangoApps or Convo, as a team collaboration product. Previously, we have compared MangoApps to Slack, Jive- N, Yammer, IBM Connections, Podio, and Tibbr.
They are charging in the sense that the policies seeks to maintain the monopolies or positions of existing energy providers. An example being Spain where people have became energy independent, yet still have to pay to maintain the electricity companies infrastructure

Aren't warm countries incredibly suitable for solar power? I assume most of the electricity is used during the day for things like electric motors during the work hours and air-conditioning. So they don't need to store that energy to keep homes warm during the colder night (even if residential AC is kept running during the night it will consume less energy since the temperatures will fall)

I don't know if Google does this, but because they control both endpoints (cache server and load balancer) of the longest section of the path they could accelerate it by replace HTTP(S) there with something like CloudFlare's Railgun. [1]

Since Railgun is only available at CloudFlare plans starting at $200/month, this could make the Google offering attractive for certain customers.

In any case, it is hard to beat free for most sites with moderate needs.

Why don’t we have abundant solar power? Blame Financing and Industry (2012)
I may not be understanding your question but I generally have advised my wife to sell most of them as they vest. Having all of your compensation in one company (salary as well as thousands of dollars in stock) is too undiversified in my opinion. They are also much less liquid then you'd think as there are often long blackout periods with short windows to sell so it's quite tough to time the market.
Interesting times for the energy economics and geopolitics. If people believe that solar(renewable energy) is getting cheaper, the prices of the oil is drop faster. And you don't want to keep holding to oil when the music stops.

I would argue this trend is showing off. The oil producing countries pumping out their oil, because they don't see value reducing the capacity, while the oil prices are historically low.

Frames are OTS products under current UCI regulations. But fitting that frame to the rider involves a lot of individual tweaking by the team mechanic, so you can't really lock them down ahead of time. But with IR cameras and a reasonable identification system directing post-race (our post-change) physical searches motor cheating should be easy enough to control, very much unlike PEDs.

There are still great dreams to dream and jobs to have. I hope your current industry is also fulfilling.
How to Manage App Uptime Like a Boss
Great comment, thank you.
Depends. If you assume that w/m^2 still have some growth and that solar panels will be as common on houses as front lawns, and that energy efficiency will continue to rise, it may be appreciably near zero; especially if the average future home becomes a net energy source (These are called zero energy buildings, or ZNE) and we still use wind, geothermal, tidal etc...

If you get high deployment in places with high urban sprawl (lots of rooftops), the long term prospects (say 35 years) negative power bills may become the norm - I know a number of people that already have them.

There's been dramatic gains in solar output and power efficiency in the past few years. The trajectories are looking good.
Analyzing the Decision Criteria of Software Developers Based on Prospect Theory [pdf]
Back in the day when UNIX only had static linking that type of plugability was achieved via configuration files and UNIX IPC.

Dynamic linking just makes it easy to program for the same scenario.
Any secure system (more secure than FTP, at least) will have a lot of knobs. Most of the time, it is well handled by sticking to defaults. THis is something SSH has done well, and HTTPS not so well; I've had to set TLS configs on my web servers, while SSH is a simple `apt install ssh && cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub`

> Only specialists appear to understand the PKI infrastructure ... Compare to FTP, it's easy to grok managing and securing a string.

It's also easy to break into a typical string-password-protected service. If FTP needed the higher security, it would have to use complex crypto. Crypto is hard.

But, as I said above, it doesn't have to be hard to use, only implement.

> It's leaky

Agreed, SSH should have some support for matching keys with hosts automatically. But it already supports doing this manually. Check out IdentityFile in ssh_config's manual.
> And you don't want to keep holding to oil when the music stops.

Or you want to be the only one holding to accessible oil, and pretty much sole provider of oil for plastics and other non-fuel petrochemical products.

We're talking about the grid, and there's plenty of demand when solar is not available -- nights, rain, snow, clouds, long winter nights, etc.

To be brief, I left it out, but my ballpark guesstimate is that, due to the cost of storage, for the main grid, solar for free is still not cheap enough. So, that is an answer to a question in the OP -- how cheap does solar have to be? My guesstimate is $0.00 per megawatt hour is still not cheap enough. In really simple terms, the grid doesn't want solar, even for free because of the need for storage and the fact that solar is unstable, e.g., due to just a sudden summer thunderstorm. The grid is super big on stability -- a small source of instability, and the whole grid of the US NE can go down, and at least once did.

Another, related point is that often the wholesale cost of power on the grid has been ballpark $0.005 per KWh, that is, half a penny per kilowatt hour. So, already, now, on the grid, intermittent power is nearly worthless, even when it is excess power from a rock solidly stable source.

And why might there be excess power? Because at the generators it's not so easy to adjust power levels quickly. So, when there's an excess, just sell it off where can, get half a cent for it, and go on.

Very much what the grid wants from the generators is rock solidly stable power, 24 x 7, no snap, crackle or pop, not even for two seconds, for years at a time. And we have that, now, that is, at least from the generators. Sure, for the lines and poles out to the burbs, during an ice storm, the reliability can be lower.

Solar? Fine, if it is cheap enough AND there is good storage to make it reliable enough AND the storage is not too expensive.

Again, the short answer, for solar, for the grid -- the storage costs too much.

Again, we're talking about the grid. There are other candidate uses for solar power -- taking salt out of water (get to store the clean water), pumping water uphill (if have a big dam handy), getting hydrogen from water (get to store the hydrogen or just pump it into a pipeline), making gasoline from coal and water (get to store the gasoline and pump it into a pipeline). So, these uses all have the feature that there is a good way to store the results of the solar power.

People have worked hard on storage for a long time, and that there is little or none installed on the grid indicates that so far no one has a good approach to storage.

Likely, get the solar panels with 100% efficiency for free, and the issue will remain -- cost of storage. A lot of this is just my opinion, but what's been deployed on the real grid makes me suspect I'm basically correct. We can be sure that lots of smart engineers have checked the figures very carefully, and so have the public utility commissions, so we don't really have to go over all the figures ourselves. It's pretty clear that the smart engineers that have done all the arithmetic carefully don't want solar for the grid.

But, sure, some people want to tax carbon, and tax it enough that solar with available storage will be cheap enough. That's another issue.
I am not worth it in a company that is nether a Startup nor has 250 people :/
I completely agree that development creates negative externalities which are legitimate complaints for neighbors. However, restrictions on development create a regressive tax in the form of high rents, which is, as the article describes, distributed broadly. What's needed is some sort of cost-benefit balance between the two.

For example, I rent a 400 sq foot apartment in SF for $3k. The operating and capital cost of the physical apartment is probably on the order of $1000 (I have rented similar places in Montreal, which has ample housing, for <$1000). That means that the other $2000, or about 2/3 of my rent, is the result of apartment scarcity caused by development restrictions. If new development is more costly, we could imagine my rent would be $1500 at market equilibrium if there were no barriers to development and the city was covered in high rises from bay to ocean, so I am effectively paying $1500/mo for restrictions on development.

Those restrictions have value in the form of reducing community impacts, so the question becomes, should the community as a whole pay a 100% "tax" on its rents to avoid additional development? The policy also closes off market rate housing in the city to any who can't afford the rents, which could be a feature or a bug depending on your outlook.

I believe there is a goldilocks regime between the two extremes that we should strive for, but our current system doesn't provide a mechanism for us as a society to make a balanced cost/benefit tradeoff.
Despite the silly comments in this thread, we're so far away from drone airliners that the question is in the realm of science fiction because of human judgment:

- en route diversions can happen anytime due to weather observed in flight

- airports like SFO can be fogged in most any day.

Military drones aren't being landed in busy urban areas.

Every famous person is an archetype, even when they are alive. For example most people think about Linus as a genius who created Linux rather than the guy who use childish insults on mailing lists. They arent any less human, it's just that the first thing people try to forget about someone after they pass away is the bad things.

And is not as dramatic as you think, I found all the "racist pics" he drawn fairly easy on the internet. So I'm fairly certain anyone who actually wants to look up "the human behind the myth" will be able to do so.

And is actually very easy to prove we don't forget the human behind the myths, at least within our historical sources, for example is widely known that Issaac Newton puked on his first and only kiss and died virgin. You think this helps the myth? Certainly not, is just a glimpse into his personality.
Sean Barrett (of stb headers fame) has written about the reasons for header-only libraries here:

https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/docs/stb_howto.t...

If compile-time is a concern (it isn't in my experience, at least if the rest of the project is C++ code), you can still wrap the library-header into your own header and put include-guards around it :)

Paid academic journal editors are rare exceptions.

From one of your own links:

Carol Barnes, professor of psychology and neurology at the
University of Arizona in Tucson, is a reviewing editor at
the Journal of Neuroscience, a 3-year appointment for which
*she receives no compensation*.
(…)
Barnes has received funding from the university to hire an
assistant to provide clerical support to assist her with
the manuscript review process. She considers herself
fortunate, because "without this help, I would have had to
decline this position."

Not only she was still paid by the university for whats seems to be a full time job during 3 years according to the article, but in addition to that the university, not the publisher, paid for an assistant to this job!
A few authors have Google to thank, as I've bought many books due to the content showing up in search results.

On the other hand, I've also "consumed" some book content without purchasing it. In those cases, how is it different to me reading the book in a bookshop then putting it back on the shelf?

A long time ago, I had a shareware product. I'm sure plenty of people benefited without paying (the free version was enough). Sites even benefited from distributing it. I didn't lose sleep over it, because without people being able to try it first I would have had less sales.
I must be out of touch for sure. For me 'performance enhancing drugs' are not to be accepted as just 'an aspect of pro-sport'. Ruining (young) people's health, on top of making it near impossible for honest athletes to compete, makes drugs far more egregious than material cheats.

It might interest you to check out Better Angels of Our Nature, a book by Steven Pinker about the history of violence. He argues that it's typical for humans to fall into cycles of retributive/vengeful violence against one another, or even "Hobbesian trap" patterns of preemptive violence. This leads to astronomically high rates of homicide.

The development of governments that have a monopoly on the use of violence helped curb this. If both sides of a dispute cede their right to violence and entrust a neutral third party with dispensing justice, they can be satisfied with the outcome and save face. For obvious reasons, this leads to a much more civil society than people needing to take the law into their own hands.

In this sense, it's actually a blessing that we're inclined to feel so satisfied seeing justice done by a third party.
I have been wondering if this will be good enough for most Office PC. You have the latest Gen 9 GPU, which could do GPU acceleration on most browsers and OS rendering. H.264 / H.265 and Vp9 Hardware decoding.

> Definitely the number of grants would go down as the cost of publishing starts being factored in, although this may be partly or fully outweighed by the reduction in universities' costs.

Universities are paying essentially all of the cost one way or another now, how could it not be fully outweighed? It would be more than fully outweighed because the universities would no longer have to pay the publishers the amount that constitutes the monopoly rent from the copyright.

Meanwhile the public gets free access to the research which increases its utility.
How to Act Like a Millionaire
And considering this, a big question is will the market move away from centralized power systems. Will it be more viable to have a local/household level power generation and storage or will scale continue to give cost savings. This will likely have the biggest effect on storage/generation methods used. Possibly hybrid with distributed for suburb/rural and consolidated for urban/commercial? Or locally generated with grid peak power? Interesting times.
Maybe we'll see single pilots on short regional flights, but with pilots falling asleep and things like the Germanwings suicide I can't imagine single pilot commercial flights being the norm happen any time soon.
