That aspect is frustrating. I took all of Dr. Chuck's "Python for Everybody" courses, and have lost access to the videos. There have been times when I would have liked to have reviewed the videos, because while I did learn the material and perform the work at the time, I hadn't used that knowledge much in the months since. I feel as though I'm losing some of it, and would like to review. Having paid $300+ for the courses, I don't feel I should have lost access to the materials.
I don't particularly trust either, but:

1. The university is explicitly asking to MITM your traffic, so that's an automatic no-go on any of my devices for me. At least other CAs will be punished if caught.

2. I'm fairly certain these university certs are not subject to certificate transparency, and even if they were, since they are explicitly designed to MITM traffic, I'm not sure that it would raise any red flags if someone other than the university was issuing these certs for inappropriate domains. At least TÜRKTRUST Elektronik Sertifika issuing inappropriate certificates are much more likely to get caught doing anything fishy (with high profile sites, anyway).

3. What you're really trusting is the vendor of whatever security gateway, not the university itself. If you look at the Security.SE thread I linked, there was an actual issue with at least one of the black box vendors. I don't think the other vendors are considerably better.

So, all-in-all, I would not accept an MITM certificate on any device that I used for anything personal, full stop.

I only expect the apps where a user certificate is useful for normal operation to add the feature back. Other apps get better security by not enabling user certificates.
The biggest problem with Amazon reviews is that they'll let you post a review of something you never bought! Sure, they do add the "verified purchase" tag for things you bought; but for calculating the aggregate stats, etc. Amazon will cleverly ignore the fact that you could just be talking out your ass (or selling reviews). I find this very dirty on their part, and it's something that can be fixed with 1 line of code.

It seems that you are questioning the relevance of my contribution. I believe the relevance is that in mostly-white CO these 'rules' that everybody seems to parrot about dealing with cops don't apply. I don't have to leave my hands on the steering wheel. So, my (perhaps erroneous) conclusion has been that when there is little racial diversity, these problems don't seem as prevalent.

Edit: Just to be clear, I do not appreciate the antagonistic tone in your comment.
That's like comforting the family of a shooting victim with "don't forget! animals die, it happens all the time!"
I don't know what's meant by "tech workers" but as a programmer I can't really think of a better place with more jobs, more events, more everything that matters. All my former coworkers and friends live here. There are meetups all the time. I don't see how it's losing its luster. Yes it's expensive, but I BART in from a place with cheaper housing costs. I don't have to live in downtown SF to work there.

There is nothing wrong with being compensated proportionally to the value of a deal. A real-estate agent who sells a $10 million property more quickly has created more value for her customer than one who sells a $1 million property more quickly.
I generally agree that it's good not to have many dupe but in this case there was a lot of upvotes and a lot of comments and tagging the link as "dupe" just destroy the discussions.

Why not just make successful "dupe" link stay but not bring karma to the poster ? That will stop the perverse incentive to try to submit old successful link for easy karma.
There was a short story on starshipsofa[1] with a similar premise. A research team working time travel are worried about massive energy events, so they plan their test runs to coincide with nuclear tests. I wish I could remember what it was called, it was rather good.

I do not dispute this. However, it adds all dependenices and dynamic loaded libraries (or static?) in most cases. So bundling applications to dupe users is increasingly easy.

I guess it just appearances. Perhaps it has always been this easy. But I predict with Ubuntu and more "user-friendly" distributions will make this a store.

Returning to the AppPlay debacle, this means that analogy will lead us to the "Google Play Store is increasingly filled with malware" scenario we fear.

Linux distros had secure distribution so right for so long. I see this as a step in the wrong direction.

Or simply from home. I've been working from home the last year, doing coding for a startup idea (for others, not my own project).

Seriously, in the age of the Internet, and of looong traffic jams on 101 and on the various Bay bridges, if an employer insists every programmer has to hang around in that area something is off in their thinking. As someone who did hang around there (during the dot com boom), at several companies and visiting many more as part of the job, it is overrated, especially for programmers. Sure it's better to be around the coworkers everything else being equal - but everything else is not equal. The costs of doing so (not just monetary) is very high.

It's a beautiful area alright, I lived in the Presidio at the end (that's the huge park right next to the Golden Gate bridge), perfect. But not all people can live in the same place... (PS: By the way, the East Bay has great places too! The Oakland hills near the top, for tens of miles, have some of the most beautifully located properties in the entire Bay Area. Plus endless parks and trails and horse riding, etc., not to mention the incredible views. And in Oakland visit Jack London Square and then walk downtown.)
Is there a way to torrent/mirror the data from archive.org? Storing all of it in a central repository seems counter-intuitive to me.

> We've had a couple decades for angry nerds ranting on the Internet to show results and it's hard to say that we've done anything.

I'd actually argue that we have. Sure, a lot of the mp3 stuff was Jobs, but I'd argue that the game was changed so that we can't do the same with mp3s. We downloaded mp3s, but we stream movies. Now, I think streaming is superior in many ways, and I'm not bashing it, but it did change the game.

Free software is becoming more and more common. Sure, it moves slower than proprietary software, but I'd argue that's a feature, not a bug. We now have MS open-sourcing a lot of stuff, and including bash in their stack. Apple is trying to become more open, and focus more on privacy. Linux is getting more games than ever.

I really view this new DRM scheme as a desperate attempt from a dying industry. And I do think eventually we'll look back, thinking it was absurd.
From a simple usability perspective, definitely agree. I re-purposed a Dell Chromebook with Debian Jessie for my partner last weekend and the hardest thing (bearing in mind I had to delicately pop the case apart and remove a write protect screw to flash the BIOS) was getting streaming working for the on-demand stuff she likes to watch.

Netflix 'just worked' with Chrome but some French TV channels (looking at you M6!) are still stuck streaming Flash. Getting pipelight to work with Firefox took hours of fucking around and it still bombs on certain streams.

If we have to have DRM it's got to be preferable suffering it through an open standard rather than black boxes forced on us through shitty plugins riddled with security holes.
Amazon considers all stock of the same product to be identical and exchangeable.

If you order from Seller A on "Fulfilled by Amazon", then Amazon will ship you from the nearest warehouse that has the same product, even if it's technically stock of Seller B.

And Seller B might have handed a crate of counterfeits to Amazon. Angering both the customer and Seller A who has no way to actually enforce the quality of what they sell on Amazon.
About 9 years ago, while working as a system administration consultant, I had a gig to fly a portable hard drive with about 360 GB from LA to St. Louis as part of a migration of a web application. It was faster than the network connections available to my client at the time. I remember calculating the throughput...

I asked why don't you just FedEx it? It's too important, the client said, and we know and trust you.

It was funny, I had it in a laptop bag, and didn't let go of it except to go through the security scanner... the only thing missing was the handcuff connecting it to my wrist. :)

I mean actual counterfeits. Like the packaging says Schick but they are much worse quality and clearly not authentic if you look closely. I got my money back easily, but still an unpleasant experience.
Because (i) they still abide by virtually all the EU regulations you've criticised in order to have access to the single market and (ii) as a condition of single market access they accept unlimited EU immigration; the end of which was promised as the key result of voting for Brexit by the successful Out campaign and is trumpeted by both the current candidates for British Prime Minister.

But yes, there are feasible arrangements which would allow the UK to remain in the EU in virtually all aspects except name and voting rights after Article 50, which would be less damaging to startups after the uncertainty ended.

I feel like I might be repeating myself a little here...

Have you ever wondered why the average job is 40 hours/wk?

That's because the quality of work an employees produces dramatically decreases working more than that. Over time an employee working 60+ Hours per week will become exhausted and drained physically and mentally. Which will make them lose passion, less focused and become very unhappy with their job.

40-50 hours give that individual enough time to complete reasonable tasks and still have a work life balance. Employees who have more time to spend with family, friends and on their hobbies have shown to produce higher quality work and are more committed to their jobs.

You also shouldn't be worried about how long an employee works but how well they work.

Like the saying goes "Quality over Quantity"
I spent seven years in the Bay area, and found it quite a questionable deal. Not that it was a bad place per se, but it was expensive and the stuff I was doing just wasn't very special.

My sense is that if you are going to go to the Bay area, and put up with those high high costs for everything, you need to make it pay. Spend your weekends doing unusual stuff that you can't do elsewhere. Take jobs that don't exist elsewhere. And if that doesn't sound like your thing, don't go there in the first place.
A lot of the jobs I see offer surprisingly low pay and I'm not even factoring in cost of living. I've seen salaries out in SV that I wouldn't even consider in Atlanta and I don't come close to spending near half of my paychecks on rent.

Agile is designed for that case, but most development methodologies are designed for that case.

The idea that requirements are set in stone, or - more specifically - the idea that not setting them in stone is breaking conventional wisdom is just running us in circles.

Requirements are just a name for detailed goals. They change as goals change. Diffs can be applied them just as easily as to the codebase. Maybe a team has them over emphasized and too rigid, maybe too undocumented and in flux. But prescriptive development methodology doesn't give teams tools to figure out what works for their projects.

Development processes aren't really improving with every new trendy thing that comes out, they're just finding new ways to package and shuffle things around.

This reminds of something I read - apparently, for whatever reason, not all EC2 instances of the same class perform the same.
So, some large AWS customers (like Netflix) keep spawning instance, run some benchmarks on them, then if the instance is in top X% as far as performance goes, they keep it; otherwise they drop it.
Which means that, what a regular customer gets, is an instance that someone (or multiple someones) found not good enough and dropped ;]
While there may be more jobs in the Bay Area, it's always a battle of compromises when you compare it to another place. For example, somewhere like Boston may have less jobs, but the rent/cost of living isn't as extremely high as it is in somewhere like San Francisco or a lot of places in the Bay Area, which means you can save more money for things like retirement, vacation, etc., and it has easy access to somewhere like NYC, meaning it may be a better fit for the people they interviewed. Friends can always be found where you go, and meet ups can be found in varying degrees, so the main appeal to staying in the Bay Area is mostly going to be job opportunities and networking, both of which are available in other cities like Boston, NYC, and Austin.

One of the first projects we're building on top of Fathom is a collection of 'rules' for extracting a consistent metadata representation of web pages. For instance, many pages expose Open, Graph tags to identify semantic metadata such as title, description, icon, preview image, canonical URL, etc. However not all pages use Open Graph, some expose Facebook tags, Twitter tags, generic HTML meta tags, some expose not even those!

We want to use Fathom as the engine for applying a series of rules to look for various forms of metadata in pages and collect them in a consistent fashion. This can be used for storing/querying rich data about pages, presenting nice previews of pages to users, and other applications.

My hope is that this repository acts as a collection point for people to continue to contribute rules for various forms of metadata, from basic page representation, to more domain specific things like product data, media data, location data, etc.

The project can be found here:

https://github.com/mozilla/page-metadata-parser

This library is designed to be used either as a node package within a server side node ecosystem, or client side through npm and webpack/browserify/etc, it's currently tested against node and Firefox.

Soon I hope to wrap it in a RESTful API with a Docker container, which will be found here (still needs docs/tests):

https://github.com/mozilla/page-metadata-service

I recently found a very similar project called `Manifestation` which does almost the exact same thing, so I hope to collaborate with Patrick and integrate the projects if possible.

Clearly you do not understand how Amazon Warehouses work

Just because you buy someing from Seller A, even if Seller A is Amazon LLC, you may not be getting stock from Seller A

If I am A retailer selling SuperWidget 55, and I ship Amazon 100 Genuine SuperWidget's to store in their warehouse for amazon to ship to my customers (aka Amazon Fulfillment Service) . Then another competitor ship 100 Fake SuperWidgets to amazons warehouse. All Amazon records is they have 200 SuperWidgets.

When a Customer orders a SuperWidget, they will get what ever SuperWidget is closest to their location, and a random one from that location, it may not be my SuperWidget but one of the 100 fake ones, even though the customer selected to order from me.

So then the next question is why would a retailer use Amazon Fulfillment, well if you want to get any Prime buyers you must, as if you do not use Amazon Fulfillment your orders are not "Prime Eligible" which eliminates a huge number of consumers.
You do realize a CA can be limited to be trusted only for some things, yet not for others?

For example, many such university certificates are not trusted as CAs for HTTPS?
HTTPS is no longer end-to-end encryption as everybody from corporate networks to load balancers to governments transparently MiTM.

The three big things that need to be solved are:

- How to do fault tolerate distributed end-to-end encryption

- How to develop a stronger trust model than exists in PKI

- How to move from an privatized ownership model of trust (CAs) to a public individualized model of ownership (web of trust doesn't seem to work)
This means that Rust has experience with wraparound and with panics. So this question should be answerable by someone on the Rust team: how much does the check cost? A few percent? A factor of 2? Surely not more than that?

I don't think it's currently correct (there's a base unit, but I don't know if it's that's hard limit or if it can be changed in future versions), but the difference is that when the government prints money, they get the money. The government printing money would be like someone issuing more bitcoins that don't already belong to anyone. Splitting up bitcoins doesn't change the fraction of all bitcoins that each person owns.

Plus, they're already "split up" as it were, it's just they're not valuable enough that people are using nanobitcoins or anything like that. It's only when the value of the currency goes up that people will do transactions in smaller fractions of a bitcoin.
Disclaimer: from Iran

The fun thing about printed books in Iran(well im not sure about other states but at least about Tehran) is that you can almost find any censored book you want if you try, maybe just not in the bookstores, perhaps street.

Also the censorship in Islamic TV is just stupidly ridiculous but it's not that stupid comparing it to printed books.

I personally agree that sites with obfuscated JS are hard to read, and are pushing boundaries close to binary. I also think, it's absurd to use that as an argument.

Some sites are pushing shitty, hard to read code, sure. But instead of allowing them to continue working against the spirit of the system, we should shame them, and use them as examples of what not to do. If a couple of bad politicians abuse their system, we don't say "fuck it. lets go back to a monarchy"
