If you're running a real service behind that port, then those "helpful automated test systems" aren't helping you since either they don't succeed and don't do anything, or they succeed and hurt you.

If you're running a honeypot behind port 22, well, that works well with putting the real service on another port or behind port knocking.

I happened to read this article about recusal recently and I don't understand how some of these allegations wouldn't be explicit grounds for recusal, specifically the son being a lawyer with a firm that tries cases in the father's court.

Wow, I feel for you, having been there myself a number of times. The playing field is so stacked against applicants it's not even funny. One thing though:

> I've done literally hundreds of phone interviews, had 7 different on-site interviews, and received offers from 2 of them (both of which I rejected because they asked me to accept compensation/benefits packages that were substantially worse than what I had when last working).

That might have been a mistake. When nobody's hiring (as is the case today), you kind of have to take what you can get. Plus, being already employed increases your odds of later getting another job, hopefully back where you should be compensation-wise. If I were an unemployed tech worker today, I would literally take the first job I could get, so at the NEXT interview I didn't have to admit that I'm out of work.
I prefer naked domains, but the problem I always have is that you can only use A records which makes using them with a bunch of things a pain in the butt. I host my personal website as just a tumblr blog (yes, go ahead and laugh, but I find it less of a chore to deal with than wordpress) so I need a CNAME to make that work, so I just have a very basic redirect on the naked domain to my blog subdomain.
Hah that was me actually! :D

Glad it brought a smile to your face.
The difference is that Israel is not apartheid (obviously).

The Palestinians are a different country. In South Africa they are all one country so they have to work together.

In contrast with Palestinians it's a different country entirely, so when you prevent them from working, you have little effect on Israel at all, you just hurt the Palestinians.
"the people there will revolt!"

- As they should, but you got it the other way around. They should rise against the fanatics among them who aim for Islam domination, the destruction of Israel. Those continuously attempting to kill innocent people.

Seriously, why do you think the naval blockade is in place? How does Israel benefits from it?

In any case, there are also a couple of facts you need to look into.

"Israel is in control of Gaza"

- Gaza is ruled by Hamas and it also has a border with Egypt

"it has never lived up to those ceasefires"

- When did they actually ceased to fire? (you know, you can't just occasionally bomb the other side during a ceasefire)

Maybe using some form of biometrics. Or also hiring some sort of private investigator who would keep track of everyone in the tontine primarily via social media and sometimes by physically checking on them.

I'd imagine it would be impossible to get around this problem completely though.
It would just request LetsEncrypt to generate those certs and then prove the "ownership" (more like "control") of those domains by whatever method LetsEncrypt wants (.well-known perhaps?).

Company Culture Lessons from 5x Startup Founder David Cancel
Looking at the way mainframes work, with their higher level languages, JIT compilers at kernel level, object databases, type 1 hypervisors, ....

It is quite interesting to see mainstream OSes increasingly get adopting all those features.
As someone from the bay area who has also had a mediocre experience, I can maybe answer: Speeds have been fine, but there are areas where it'll show full bars but provide no data (like in BART stations, my hunch is that those use femtocells that don't handle FI users properly). Additionally, occasionally it'll swap networks (I think, goes from LTE/HSPA/3G) and the 'swaps' have like 30 second switchover times. Then there's the annoying app that tries to connect you to open wifi networks, but usually connects you to something that requires login which means your data just breaks (it's an app you can turn off, just an annoying experience). The price isn't actually competitive, Cricket would be cheaper for the amount I use (~3GB). Also, the benefits of being on multiple networks don't really matter in urban/urbanish areas, since TMo/Sprint both are trying to reach the same dense areas -- and despite having two networks, both lack significantly outside major urban areas. For instance, I lose coverage on the drive from the Bay Area to Sacramento.

But the worst is shortcodes and SMSes -- some weird configuration at FI meant that no shortcode texts came or went. I got error messages when I tried to use Magic (the texting startup). I never received 2FA texts while logging to to my bank or to github. I contacted support and they told me it was because those services used an http gateway, and that Fi just did not support that. I later found out that the support person was just wrong, and I escalated up support to a tech who 'reset' specific shortcodes on my account, which means I now can use 2FA for my banks/github, but I had to specifically find the shortcodes they used to get them whitelisted.

If I had to speculate, maybe they try putting varying charges/holds on the card and see when it gets rejected in order to divine the balance?

Yes, as I mentioned in my edit to GP, I have now read the article.

It still sounds strange to me. I mean, how is it that 3rd country rural people cannot not know about chickens? I assumed this would be about giving flocks to urban poor, where there is precious little area not covered by concrete and the chickens would likely forrage on half poisoned cockroaches or something like that.
This is physically repulsive and literal theft by the state. Do other developed countries (EU, Canada, etc.) have similar laws?
Note that while the new rules don't let you go lower than $0.99 per subscription payment, they also allow for terms longer than a month — they can be once every two months, three months, or six months. So you could do $0.99 quarterly, for example, for $4 a year.
Excellent post, Jack.

There aren't many apps that can save you 1000/year. I keep hearing this, but that's nonsense. If a "service" is not producing money and isn't saving you time allowing you to produce money, then it's not worth paying for.

Yes, I have subscriptions for IntelliJ IDEA, for Dropbox, for FastMail and for a DigitalOcean VPS. All these are producing money for me. But the list ends here. Because here's the thing: $5/month here, $10/month there and pretty soon we're talking about serious money. Not only that, but as soon as you stop paying for whatever reason (eg temporary financial problems) you're out.

Of course, with our oversized salaries, we stop noticing that $5/month for a passwords app is actually expensive. And that's actually a good example because a passwords app at least has some utility.

More importantly, subscriptions are immoral because the end result is robbing users of any sense of ownership. And as a software developer, you no longer feel compelled to innovate, to improve, in order to convince users to upgrade. I for one hate renting things, I prefer ownership.
Which is why they aren't charging people with crimes when stealing property many of the times. No criminal charges, no public defender, no recourse for people with little to no money (and what little they had just got seized) to go to court to reclaim their stolen property.
Chickens weren't sold that way until pretty recently in history in rich countries.

Like cows, chickens provide ongoing sustenance. That $5 chicken may yield $50 in eggs. When the bird gets old, you make some soup.
It takes some serious equipment to heat water anywhere near that high. For cinnabar you just need fire. This is not an artificial distinction.

I'm not following this one. Are you referring to an audit trail?

No - meaning if update the database schema, data will be missing that wasn't collected properly the first time. (If you didn't think you needed customer hierarchies, you didn't create them as customers came in)

I hear you on avoiding over-generalizing. That creates problems too.

> A farmer who sells 250 chickens a year can bring in $1,250, versus the extreme-poverty line of about $700 a year.

(That's the comment when you answer the quiz correctly.)

What a simplification. I'm all for the chickens, but the quiz and this quiz-answer-comment make it seem a little too easy.

If you want to sell 250 chickens a year you a) need quite a few more than that, b) you need SPACE - and it should provide plenty of free food for hundreds of chickens (so, LOTS of space), and c) the more chickens the higher the risk of disease, and several hundred chickens is <i>a lot</i> of chickens for a poor guy, d) if you don't have LOTS of space you will need to get food from somewhere (and pay for it?).
Bleh, subscriptions. I'm fine with them if your app is offering features that require use of your servers, but it seems many indie developers are interested instead in charging for the "privilege" of running local code on your device (as with Photoshop). I'll pass.

America needs to follow New Zealand's example:

Ban software patents!
Then use free software and make regular donations to the developer, rather than paying someone to deny you the software freedoms to A. audit the code you run B. make modifications you want, either yourself or through the services of third party developers and C. have options if the lights go out, where you can then pay someone else to maintain critical software for you.

Putting all your eggs in one basket is generally considered a bad business model, and the same easily applies to software. Free software does not need to just be ethical to be useful, it is also highly pragmatic.

Sounds like Apple is still too incompetent to care about backwards compatibility.

In a reasonable world, stuff running locally on your device would keep working, regardless of what happened to the original developers.
I find it a bit odd that he doesn't mention actually eating the chicken itself at any point. He mentions selling the chickens for more nutritious food than just eggs... But isn't chicken meat alone pretty nutritious?

This Vanguard annuity paying $1k/month starting at age 65 costs $168k, i.e., 7.1%.

https://investor.vanguard.com/annuity/fixed

If you just directly attached this to a dummy pot of $120k, you'd have a $1k/month annuity at age 55 for $288k, which is already 4.2%. It also comes with the significant bonus that your estate keeps the $168k, plus what's left of the $120k, if you die before 65.

So basically, I just think there are much better annuities out there than what you found.

I am not poor, but did recently raise chickens for about a year, and did the math on how they fared as an investment. I would disagree they are "easy and inexpensive", though in a 3rd world setting with some luck it may vary. Here's a rough summary from my experience:

-1 x Coop (self-made from scavenged wood, home store bought wood, wire, and hinges) ~$400
-5 x laying chickens ~$100 (Chicks are cheaper, but you pay to feed them for N months before they lay, and they need special care. Even then, some died or got sick and quit laying)

So let's call it a $500 initial investment. Mine laid roughly 12 eggs a week. Near me, we pay $5 for a dozen farm-fresh eggs. So it would take ~100 weeks to pay off my investment, not taking into account the ~20/mo for feed, bedding(hay), wormer, and time spent fooling with them. Time-wise, in addition to building the coop, etc. I had to let them in/out daily and feed and water them.

They were fun. I like fresh eggs and I'll probably do it again sometime. But a good investment they were not.
I think calling someone racist just because of their skin color and economic position is wrong and adds to the level of hate in society.
I was going to say that this seems like an overly cynical reaction to the parent poster's anecdote. But then I read your story in another comment that described your 14-month unemployment.

I have had good experiences with recruiters from LinkedIn, leading all the way to reasonable offers. To be fair, I have the halo effect of being currently employed. I acknowledge that the software industry has a highly irrational aversion to unemployed developers, much to its detriment.

I do want to add that for new graduates and the currently employed, recruiter messages on LinkedIn aren't strictly a fishing expedition and do lead to offers. n=2 in this comment thread, though.

I sincerely hope you find what you're looking for. As trite and uninformed as it sounds, perhaps temporarily moving back to Boston or another high job-density area would help overcome this. It wasn't clear in your other post if you were willing to relocate.

That's nonsense. They did not target Firefox, because it has not made any major (architectural) changes in regards to security, since they've last targeted it.

No major changes means that there will also likely not be any new security vulnerabilities and therefore they would almost certainly not find anything new.

This does not mean that Firefox is less secure, it just means that Mozilla has not innovated much. And if you look at actual statistics, you'll see that Firefox is not behind at all.

You could maybe make a separate case that this will lead to bad security in the future, as some innovation is inevitably going to be necessary, but with addon signing, E10s, WebExtensions and Servo all up and coming, you'll have a hard time to actually defend that case.
You absolutely can't use GPL libraries like this. If you use a GPL library you are required to release your entire application source code under a GPL compatible license.

With LGPL libraries I find a lot of developers aren't aware of the relinking requirement, but it does get enforced. That's why you won't find LGPL libraries being used in the iOS App Store and why you need to buy a commercial license for Qt for mobile.

Of course none of this applies to server apps since they aren't distributed to users. You can use all the GPL code you want.
