I have an 18yo boy and 2 pre-teen daughters. Kids will do what you allow them to do, youtube isn't the issue cause he'd just find a different site/game etc.

I am no yard stick for anyone to measure to, but I would suggest that your desire to have him feel unrestricted is the issue. Kids need boundaries, they need restrictions, they need discipline (not beatings, just rules and limits). Do they complain about it? Sure, they do. But they crave it, because without it there is no guidance to show them what is right and what is wrong. Also, how do they develop healthy habits unless you push them to have them and take away negative habits? They won't, they'll do what is fun and easy because most kids are all about instant gratification, although there are those that are just internally super self disciplined. I am pretty positive you don't let him write on walls or swear at adults or be disrespectful to you, so why is computer time different?

For my kids, they get a limited amount of electronic time per day, e.g. iPods, iPads, PC etc. For the pre-teens, they get no more then 90 minutes during the weekday and no more then 4 hours on a weekend day for "electronic" time. It may sound harsh, but that forces them to choose what they want to do with that time wisely. As the get older, I'll expand/adjust it. Also, I don't include them doing homework assignments in that time, that is always allowed. I also allow them to research something if they have a question etc, it isn't like I hammer them at the exact time, but it is a limit that they respect. And they always ask before starting up a PC etc. Even TV is monitored, but not strictly limited. But by doing so they choose to go outside and play, they choose to still make up games to play etc.

For my 18 year old, he had the same type of restrictions too, but as he got older they of course got less and less to the point I let him do what he wants now. He spends too much time in my opinion on youtube, hulu, netflix etc. But he has great grades and has a social life etc, plus now he's an adult with a new job and college coming soon, so he's gotta figure out some new balance.
Yeah I apologize I used your comment to address some slightly unrelated misgivings I have. The modern coffee shop just happened to remind me of it.
Redfin as a company takes a lower commission -- more precisely, they refund about a third of their commission to you. Agents themselves are paid a bonus based solely on client satisfaction surveys. At least that's how they said it worked when I used them in 2013.
Well, that's just dumb. Why on earth should "source this random file as a shell script" be the default?

An ungodly amount of reasons. The ability to manage that many, for one. Those poor devops folk who have to deal with that.

On a more technical side as an example, the number of open files can only be so high. You really start to hit the limit when you do things like that, which is when the most interesting kinds application crashes happen. "Just increase the file count." results in "Our report shows that an OldServer did not include a necessary open file limit config change. Engineer #582 has been fired."

> Exploring 2^56 URLs is not that easy.

Not easy, but not impossible. And it's not the case that an attacker is looking for one interesting URL: he's looking for any interesting URLs. Depending on the number of URLs stored in the service, and the fraction which are at all interesting, it may very well be worth the attacker's bother.

As an aside, why the heck is my post so heavily downvoted? It's factual: the given lengths are not long enough to be secure from brute-forcing; they probably will be brute-forced.

Individual ethics trumps democratically created legislation in your system.

This is a problem.

You're promoting anarchy which isn't a workable system AFAICT - the gaoler believes it's wrong not to accept a bribe because that will mean his child goes hungry, so he should release the criminal despite the democratically elected officials having openly created a law that has not been opposed by the people (eg in massed protest)?
That law is a relict of the time before WW1 when Germany had an emperor. It just got adapted to the democratic system, so that it covers every head of a state. Everybody just forgot about it and it never got used since decades.
Nobody is being penalized or suffering right now. He has great support and this decision didn't change anything.

Merkel even specifically said that they want to abolish that law. They didn't decide based on the merit of the claim but only based on principle (no matter what that law says, independent courts should decide).
If anyone wants to help fix the problem, I suggest the newly formed USDS. There are a lot of ex-Google people involved trying to help clean up and secure IT infrastructure in the Government. I spoke with someone who did a short stint with them and it sounds like they're actually being empowered to fix things.

Mike Dickerson gave a really good in-depth talk at Google about his work cleaning up the healthcare.gov project. The Time article lacks many of the technical details but is still pretty good.
Sorry, all I can find is a link to the PDF.
https://blog.newrelic.com/wp-content/uploads/80893.pdf

From talking to people who've worked in the USDS, the problem doesn't appear to be lack of capable people, or lack of funds. The problem seems to be in the structure of how projects are bid and executed. The bad news is the problem is universal. The good news it's fixable ... it's just going to take a lot of work by a lot of smart and determined people.

Sign up and go fix it.
Why does Germany have a law against insulting other countries' heads of state?

Wish I could, this is just something I read or hear about on the news, radio, and so forth every now and then, usually because someone got angry when they couldn't use their cell and was asked to leave and got angry about it and it becomes a "local interest kind of news story.

Bourbon and branch in SF bans cell phones, but that's a bar, not a cafe. I read about another one (a cafe) that bans cell phones and laptops for a certain section of the day, but I'd have to google around for it.

A big chunk of income tax that comes from states with high earners gets redistributed via the federal government to other states. States with wacky politicians, that want to legalize bigotry via laws.

On top of that, many of those states actively try to make their resides worse off (not taking free federal money for healthcare). People living in those states keep re-electing the same representatives who vote to make them worse of.

As a result of this I've become pretty apathetic politically (yay political tag lines) and in all honestly I stopped carrying what happens in other states. I can't be bother to want things to change there more then people who live there.

Everybody gripes about paying taxes, but I would much happier if a big chunk of that federal tax money (non-mutual goal like defense, treaties etc) that gets redistributed instead ended up in local communities (say 50 mile range). Since a lot of people in the area (NYC) could use a leg up, and it's on our own selfish interest to make them successful.

Did you read the linked article? CACs are in use by the DOD and have been for years.
Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? If you just trust some people you pay, how is that different from trusting the other people you pay?

I would suggest also possibly a social and or economic problem. There might even be a "magic bullet" where a single change can reap huge rewards. More allowance, less allowance, different school, after school program, later wake up time, the variables are myriad.

I would suggest looking into kinesthetic intelligences (sp?). Moving around. Sports, music, karate, track and field, etc. Positive and creative physical discipline.
If there is legislation on the statute then how can Merkel have it ignored, does she have some sort of absolute authority to contradict the rule of law?

>"In a country under the rule of law, it is not up to the government to decide," Merkel said. //

Which seems exactly right; there's no decision she made other than to not attempt to interfere with the established rule of law - who would allow that to happen??

>Germany just gave an authoritarian state a seat at the big kids table. //

Which seems to be nonsense. Instead Germany allowed someone to bring a private prosecution to court as is the right according to that country's legislation; not doing that would a complete breech of democratic process and the rule of law. Just because someone brings a frivolous prosecution doesn't mean you suddenly tear down the basis for open society and create a sui generis action against them, you let the law work, that's the exact opposite of giving in to authoritarianism. Acting like an authoritarian state to counter authoritarianism would be moronic.

Playing this out as "Erdogan has won against Merkel" seems really ignorant to me. Why are you doing that, don't you believe in the rule of law?
It's not "hiding." They can't bring it back (i.e. spend it in the US) without paying taxes.
If you are concerned about such issues, I would advise a native based solution instead.

Indeed. I also heard he was accused of bestiality and other unsavoury things.

The Randian view of this is just not very productive. Let's take a Randian hero, a self-made man (and it seems to always be men in her world) who is super creative, independent and gets shit done. Maybe he runs a construction company. He's the 1 guy in the room.

Now, he could build one house with his bare hands but then he would have one house to sell. OR he could hire another 4 people, build 5 houses and sell them all. Clearly in the second scenario he'd make far more money and create more. But in the second scenario, who are the "makers" and the "takers"? Maybe our hero had the creative drive so he deserves some extra credit, but surely the workers also did some making.

The idea of "makers" and "takers" that animates the Randian world view doesn't really make practical sense. To make something at scale, no matter your personal genius, you need lots of others to join you in that enterprise. And to have what you made be worth anything, you need a lot of people to buy it.

Bottom line: everyone is a maker and everyone is a taker, thinking about taxation in those terms doesn't hold up to moral or practical scrutiny.

I'm not sure if I would call 2018 (like Merkel announced) soon. At least it's after her current period of governance (which will end September 2017).

So you have been living in an alternate universe, where actions can't reveal themselves to be disastrous or bad in the short- and mid-term?

The idea that we should wait 10 to 15 years to judge foreign policy (or any other) actions is just beyond comment...

No need for elections every 4-5 years either, we should better wait 10-15 years to judge a government/leader, when it's absolutely certain how their laws/actions panned out.
I ran an NT4 / 98 dual boot system for years, and in practice the only applications that required rebooting into 98 were games and things that had a hardware component (scanner, digitizer, ...). So in my recollection the transition was actually quite smooth, games left aside.

A better question would be what percent of the wealth do they own? That would be much, much higher. If your investment portfolio doubles, are you richer? Of course. But it doesn't count as income. You're just making money off the backs of the poor whose wages are being depressed in favor of giving more money to capital.

Here's an example of the result of profiling a a particular page view of a web application: http://moritz.faui2k3.org/tmp/otrs-nytprof/agentticketzoom-n...

The graph at the top shows you which methods took how much time. The wider a bar, the longer it took. So it's immediately obvious that there are two substitutions called from Kernel::Output::HTML::Layout::Output that take up nearly all of the time. That's where you can focus your optimizations on. The other methods only take so much time because they include calls to the offending methods.

You can click on the bars (or the the routines listed below the graph) to get a few of the code, annotated with call counts and time spent on each line.

This is from OTRS, when it still used its home-grown, hacky template system, which is the major offender here. After switching to a proper template system, this is what the same request looks like: http://moritz.faui2k3.org/tmp/otrs-nytprof/agentticketzoom-u...

You can see from the absolute numbers at the top that it's much faster (18.3s -> 2.12s), and there's no single spot anymore where all the time is spent.

It is rather typical that unoptimized code has one or more big time sinks, and profiling makes that obvious.

My personal preference for a single multi-tenanted schema as opposed to 2000+ schemas is:
Unless you require per customer customisations (which is a fast way to ensure you have an upper limit on the number of customers you can support) there is no need to duplicate. Use a single schema where every table with per-customer data has a tenant id column.

Most decent RDBMS have a good way to ensure isolated locks across tenant ids e.g. MySQL partitions.
I don't know anything about this company. I have an idea what market they are trying to crack. I can't believe it's taken this long.

I've always felt paying a Realtor 3% on the biggest item most of us will buy in our lives is crazy. I just don't know what they do for that commission. I don't know what makes one successful--just because he/she sold more than the others? Pay them more because they know how to network?

I missed getting my RE Brokers license a few years ago. I procrastinated. The Realestate lobby got to Jerry Brown, and got their bill though. A rediculious bill that just made it more difficult to get a license, essentially cutting down on supply. Enough said. To get a licence. It's about eight courses, and couple of years of doubious experience, and a simple test.

Now what does a good Realtor do earn that huge financial jackpot when they sell/buy you a house? I haven't a clue. Maybe a good omissions/errors insurance policy? I don't have a clue.

I've been told to pay full commission, and you will see what they bring. Then again, this sounds like something the King of Realestate came up with?

So, to all you young, hungry developers. I really believe the Realestate Agent is long past it's due date. I would love to see a safe way to exclude them, and their commissions form the home/commercial buying experience. A fool proof way?

I will now look into Redfin. If it's half what I believe it to be; there's much room for competition?
There's something to be said about the lawlessness and utter lack of meddling by governments in some of the not so advanced societies on earth. I occasionally try to explain the notion of property tax to my relatives back in my home country and they just never get it. They always interpret it as "paying rent on land you already own" and I don't fault them as that's how I look at it too shrugs
Yup. As one of my economics professors likes to say (paraphrasing): There is no 'natural' equilibrium. The economy develops based on the set of laws already in place. People earn money based on the 'system' already in place.

So the idea of 'fairness' is already an artificial construct. It's far easier to make a billion in a society like the US, than say, Vietnam, or Argentina, or Romania. So in a very real way, US billionaires do 'owe' something to the system that allowed them to attain that wealth in the first place (and that 'something' is pretty much 'everything'). If wealth could be attained completely independently of the 'system', then the distribution of billionaires would be completely different than it is right now.

Computer Misuse Act: life in prison for UK hackers
I don't think we are supposed to either, but it's never been an issue for our company because there's always shelvesets with TFS, so you can shelve your work at different stages and retrieve it later.

A question, I checked the manpage for -f (I don't really ever use it on purpose, rm seems to work fine for most of my file deleting needs).

It says "ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt".

Seems to me that the "never prompt" behaviour is an important requirement for a backup-script, though? Cause backup-scripts should work unattended, and definitely not pause and wait for input under any circumstances, right?
I raised this point with my lawyer recently. His view is that this is essentially impossible - any rules in the company articles can be rewritten or dropped at the whim of the acquirer.

Some technical solutions might be possible, in terms of allowing users provably to withdraw their data, but it would be messy and probably not bulletproof.
The idea is not to build anything on the host. Rather it is more like a staged build initiated through a shell script. First pull/build image with the compiler, then docker run it to compile the application and finally build the final image with the application.

This is probably the worst article that I've read by Schneier.

In his opening paragraph he says that he's not there to answer the questions of "What's our money being spent on? Do we have a government worth paying for?" And then draws a conclusion that can only be rationally argued for in the context of those very answers: "We all need to urge Congress to give it the money to [improve security]."

Let's be clear information security related to tax information is a basic need and of paramount importance. But the suggestion that the answer to better security is simply to throw money at it is deeply flawed and naive if you don't know how existing funds are being used. This is true even if budgets are cut or workloads increased. Without first answering why current funds are insufficient (i.e what the money is being spent on and is it worth it) you cannot answer the question of there being insufficient budget.

In fact, this line of argument is the old trick politicians to fool voters into approving ever more tax increases. During the budget year you fritter away your funds on frivolous projects and ignore inefficiencies (bonus points if you benefit friends & family along the way) while at the same time underfunding infrastructure, police, fire, etc. Then, during the election cycle, you encourage talk about how desperately underfunded these basic services are and how they are in dire need of increased funds. This talk never results in a discussion of where the money currently goes... after all, our police/fire aren't getting the money they need and you want to debate the budget!? So you go to the voters for more money for these essentials using a purely emotional appeal... and you get to eat your cake too.

Sorry. Scheier is wrong until he answers those questions that he dismisses. Those spending discussions need to happen even if it's to justify additional money for something as important as security.
