Yeah, we iterated a bunch on this question, and I still don't think we have it quite right.

On the REPL side, we've had a few prototyped out [1] out over the years. We'd love something someday. What do you use for your scientific computing? We are also have some projects that are trying to ease using Rust with other languages ([2], [3]), so knowing what we should priorities would help.

This is a strange reply.

You're saying we can't understand the world through science?

Physical laws like the laws of thermodynamics are methods for predicting the future that we obtain by inferring them from what we've observed in the past.

You can argue that particular domains (like the global economy) are nearly impossible to predict with much accuracy because we are unable to observe many of the driving variables and the underlying causal structure is too complicated for us to comprehend the laws of the system's behavior. But to say that, in general, the universe does not allow forecasting the future seems really weird.

I've used Consul but I haven't used Etcd directly, besides using via Kubernetes. One benefit IMO is the number of high-profile eyeballs on the project due to the success of K8s and the pedigree of engineers working on it.
The issue here is that no execs claim to be involved, and there are no documents to confirm nor deny it.

Also, was there one piece of evidence that really proved he couldn't have done it? I read a bunch of it, and it sounds like you can't prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt, but that he still might have done it (meaning, there just isn't much to go on).
Cracks you up?

This a feature that has been missing since etcd's introduction and this article on a major new version makes no mention of it.

While there are pain points when it comes to hosting your own mail, it isn't nearly as difficult as you make it.

It gets more difficult if you are providing a service that has to have uptime guarantees or are providing mail to many users but if you take the time to learn and educate yourself on current standards, hosting your own mail for fun and for profit is a doable thing that more developers and admins should do.

We are at a time when we actually have relatively easy to use software to managing mail servers, so us it.

For what it is worth, I have not had problems with Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, or domains that use their services whether it comes to sending or receiving. Sometimes a server is stuck in an SPAM prevention queue or I might have to whitelist a particularly silly server, but that doesn't happen very often.

People should be skeptical of wonder-child claims. Thankfully, this kid looks like the real deal.
I don't agree with this. People making good money would be most often the ones to boast about it. You sound like my hiring manager regarding total compensation. Base salary is everything, and I can prove this when I lost 20% of my "total compensation" in no bonus this year for the first time ever.

The issue with that solution is that it will treat such certificates as essentially self-signed. This means that it will essentially blocks access to sites. I want a softer approach. Say one that strikes through the https in the URL.

I think the two projects focus on different things.

Consul provides features like health checking, failure detection besides its consistent key-value store. It aims to provide an all-in-one solution[0].

etcd focuses on the consistent key-value store. The key-value store has more advanced features like multi-version keys, reliable watches, and provides better performance. People build additional features on top of etcd's key-value store/raft.

"the consequences elevate it to a point where it deserves its own consideration."

Well, it does but maybe not here. Let's remember the situation. The consideration is only applying because a person openly said they're ex-CIA. So, we apply these considerations when people say that. Result? Instead of risk going away, they just stop saying they're ex-CIA. Maybe start talking about privacy, crypto, Anonymous, blockchains, and so on. Infiltration 101 applied to Tor project. Filtering out anyone claiming to be ex-government doesn't filter out ex-government except for those specific cases. This level of consideration, if infiltration risk is high, has to be all or nothing.

"The furthest I'd suggest would be language extensions, likely implemented as external llvm modules, nothing crazy"

It's a reasonable proposition. I considered something like Cyclone, a security-aware scheme for managing heap, and with JIF-style labels for information flow. Might knock out a lot of problems while keeping code mostly the same and able for C programmers to handle.

" Any changes to code further down stream of well specified functions shouldn't need code review. "

This is ambiguous. Are you saying that, with how they all interface, that any changes to lower-level functions should preserve interface invariants enough that higher-level stuff shouldn't have to be re-reviewed? If so, that would be reasonable. If not, please elaborate.
Kinda sad to see the perpetuation of Go as a "systems-level" programming language. Services-level? Sure.

I hope you do not take this suggestion too seriously. He didn't want to be convicted and he may not want the entire rest of his life to be dependent upon him telling his story and spilling his guts in public to pay the bills. It is one thing if he WANTS to tell his story. But maybe he just wants his damn life back. In which case, this could be just a way to add insult to injury.

I would try to give him options for getting his needs met that did not require him to make a spectacle of himself to eat. If he wants to be a crusader or if he finds it therapeutic to talk about it publicly for the rest of his life, that's fine. But maybe he just wants his life back and THAT'S IT. In which case, trying to go this route without asking him how he feels about it or offering him other alternatives is not great.
It doesn't look like he's been exonerated. He's been released from prison on his own recognizance while the state evaluates evidence. He's in a kind of limbo.

If he's formally exonerated, double jeopardy will prevent the state from ever trying him again, so the state has an incentive to keep him in that state.

I don't agree, and I don't think most people do either. The sane approach we would like is to have an internet where harmful and illegal content like child porn can be censored and the criminals behind it identified and prosecuted, but where legal forms of free speech are strongly protected from censorship.

There isn't really a slipperly slope here. Very few forms of content are banned in this way, and the list is unanimously agreed upon and changes extremely infrequently. No one is trying to ban extreme-but-consensual-among-adults porn. No one is trying to ban extreme graphical violence. Etc. etc.

The only area where there is a problem, as this case illustrates, is with copyright and trademarks. The correct solution to this problem is to implement more sane copyright laws, internet or not.
What is lawful != what is ethical. Most of my comments in this thread and on this subject engage the ethical responsibilities of citizens and corporations to their societies, and their parts in the establishment and perpetuation of just and healthy societies.

Beyond that, there is quite an orders of magnitude difference between electing to take an individual deduction as a citizen and establishing complicated structural entities specifically to avoid or reduce taxes by increasing the complexity of determining tax obligation. If you do not see these things are different, I doubt I could convince you otherwise.
> Don't all businesses do that? Walmart? Costco? Verizon? AT&T? Bestbuy?

The difference is if you don't like either of those companies you can go to Target, Amazon, Frys, or any other big box/online store that would sell similar stuff. On iOS there is only the App Store in terms of distribution.

I think I take a lot of the above for granted. It all sounds like a solid CS education to me, something which many students already have.

So I think your point about being open minded is the strongest. Additionally, you bring up some excellent summaries of what each discipline is about. A lot of the time the failure here is lack of comprehensiveness, or coverage; coverage in space (what's out there) and coverage in time (what's been done historically). Current favorite example is APL: http://isomorphism.es/post/146379365169/unlike-many-language...

But as far as material goes, I suspect pure, bare metaphysics is underrated. Bearing with me, this talk by Hickey quotes a lot of Whitehead: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hi...

Whitehead spearheaded Process philosophy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_philosophy

Most metaphysics is crap, but there are a few gems. Whitehead, Russell, Quentin Meillassoux, Wittgenstein, Northrop, Peirce, Kripke. Dealing with fundamental conceptions of space, material, time, cause, and uncertainty can go a long way when it comes to modeling code and understanding when it will correspond to reality. Programming languages give you enough flexibility to reach your ass and fuck yourself over. That needs to be constrained.

tl;dr

We're in agreement, I just like hearing myself talk.
I agree that Spain, EU Parliament, and the European Council should enact meaningful legislation and trade agreements to mitigate this tax loophole.

> What we know is that the vehicle was on a divided highway with Autopilot engaged when a tractor trailer drove across the highway perpendicular to the Model S. Neither Autopilot nor the driver noticed the white side of the tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the brake was not applied.

Tragic no doubt, but I'm relieved that this was not a "Autopilot did something very very wrong" story.

Autopilot has the potential to save a large number of lives (I'm sure Tesla execs are thinking about touting "estimated lives saved by autopilot" if the numbers work out, after a few billion miles), so I hope incidents like this don't hamper public perception and therefore research.

There are "historically significant" artifacts which are things that are both original and something about them was also historically important or interesting. And of course artifacts that are historically insignificant but original and so sometimes good examples of items from the time. The Steamboat Arabia museum has a lot of stuff you would find in the 1850's version of WalMart, none of it is historically significant but the items are great examples of what the stuff people were talking about when they wrote letters and books probably looked and felt like.

The key is separating the item (which can be an original, a re-creation[1], a restored original, or a replica) and the context (the item's history)

[1] I believe, but am not sure, that this was the term for something made with the original materials but using different techniques. Some things like Samurai swords have a gap where it was lost how they were made, and so all you get are recreations of swords of that type rather than new original swords. And yes, I know, its all semantics really, but archivists are nothing if not sticklers about details.

Actually, I would imagine they are nothing like one another.

However, Exynos uses a TrustZone TEE implementation to implement the KeyMaster module, just like Qualcomm's Snapdragon. This means that unless that TEE implementation uses a hardware key which is not software accessible, the same issue would be present. Of course, reverse-engineering a new TEE implementation would take a long time... But it sounds like it could be fun.
As far as I remember, his answer was that (1) the product was underpriced and it's a company's duty to get as much profit as possible for their shareholders etc. and (2) the product itself was very cheap and they offered it for free for anyone without insurance – apparently about 40% of it was given away this way. Now, he might just be a charismatic psychopath, but if this is true it does indeed put him in quite a different light.

edit: yes, it might've been 60% instead of 40%, I wanted to err on the side of caution :)

Tragic. Good that they own it, though I'm not thrilled with this:

It is important to note that Tesla disables Autopilot by default and requires explicit acknowledgement that the system is new technology and still in a public beta phase before it can be enabled. When drivers activate Autopilot, the acknowledgment box explains, among other things, that Autopilot “is an assist feature that requires you to keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times," and that "you need to maintain control and responsibility for your vehicle” while using it. Additionally, every time that Autopilot is engaged, the car reminds the driver to “Always keep your hands on the wheel. Be prepared to take over at any time.” The system also makes frequent checks to ensure that the driver's hands remain on the wheel and provides visual and audible alerts if hands-on is not detected. It then gradually slows down the car until hands-on is detected again.
