Well, such use cases are internal email via IMAP with STARTSSL, they are browser traffic with default browsers (those don't allow custom CAs either, you'll likely have to compile a custom build yourself), etc.

Basically, if you want to use any app - be it IRCCloud, Slack, Locally-Hosted Google Apps for big businesses as a box, etc locally, with a custom CA, you have to customly modify every single one of those apps, or you have to buy a CA.

That's a great fucking piece of shit.

+1 for The Beginning of Infinity, awesome book that really gets to the heart of scientific thinking and process.

On a different note, I am just finishing up Snowflower and the Secret Fan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Flower_and_the_Secret_Fan). Not only a well written story about the life story of two Chinese women around the turn of the century but also taught me some interesting customs about women's lives in pre-Revolution China, e.g. being lao tongs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laotong).
> that in my experience a highly qualified Ops person will /also/ be a skilled developer, but a highly qualified Developer will /not/ be a skilled Ops person.

I have ~15 years of ops experience, and I'm not a skilled developer. I bill ~$200/hr for infrastructure/AWS architecture/DevOps consulting (when not at devops day job), with limited need to be proficient at software development.
They said the calculation doesn't include equity, so it's difficult to say whether the salary is competitive (since really it's total comp that people are concerned about).
And the Chinese government is not happy about it. They are actively pushing banks to not allow their citizens to get mortgages. I have a colleague whose family pushed her pretty hard to accept and hold hundreds of thousands of dollars so her cousin could buy a house with it. She found the situations quite distressing. Apparently her father, in China, was not happy.

That's not what I accused you of--people can read our previous discussion and see both what I actually accused you of saying, and also that you said what I accused you of saying.

I did call your course of action a mistake, but that's not an attack on your professional capabilities. Everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure you're reasonably skilled at your job.

I think you'd enjoy this conversation a lot more if you didn't take my disagreement with your strategy as a personal attack. But if that's what you want to do I can't stop you.

The comment that you commented on didn't say that we should stay home from all wars; he/she said that the government should be decisive about when and where to attack. The final sentence, that we should just stay home, was referring to the wars which the United States chose poorly to become involved in, and which have been drawn out beyond a "decisive and overwhelming" attack.
I found this election cycle interesting from the point of view of a true outsider versus the party ruling clique. It seemed to me the big difference in outcomes was the amount of work done at the grassroots level in previous elections. The party who has had their ruling clique challenged for multiple election cycles had an outsider nominated, as opposed to where the party leadership was much more able to deal with insurgents.
The Imperial Radch books are a great read as well. They take place in a future in which intelligent space ships are able to control thousands of human bodies connected (enslaved?) to them, experiencing everything these bodies experience at once - the action is great, but it also explores the philosophical implications of this, in a society in which a supreme leader thousands of years old rules over all these ships and all the planets where humans live. There is absolutely no privacy - space stations attached to each colony know everything any of their inhabitants are doing, feeling, even thinking.

This summary doesn't really do it justice - the first book in the series is at https://www.amazon.com/Ancillary-Justice-Imperial-Radch-Leck.... Oh and written by a woman too ;)

Depends on who you see as their competition. If their competition consists of 'average' tech companies, their salaries are probably fine. If their competition is Google, Facebook, et al. then yeah they're probably low. A new grad at Google can make 160-170k USD between salary+bonus+stock.
Value based pricing. The value of an e-book is close to the value of a p-book to the user. The details make it a wash depending on who you are.

Some people might want to sell the p-book when they are done, but you may be able to make copies of the e-book.

Some people like having the p-book, other people have too many books and clutter already and like to read technical stuff on a tablet while spinning at the gym...

There is plenty of other pathology in book pricing.

Allegedly hardcovers are worth more than softcovers but most of the time a used hardcover is cheaper than the softcover because: (i) softcovers are often nicer objects to live with, and (ii) libraries and their patrons mark up and otherwise abuse hardcovers.

I don't pay for Amazon Prime, so between shipping and sales tax it often makes financial sense for me to buy a product from an eBay seller over Amazon even at a higher price. You'd think Amazon would want to stop this by banning Prime accounts used to ship to too many different addresses or something.

Dropbox has two good things going for it. One is that its syncing is reliable (not perfect, but usually better than the rest). The other is Linux support, which competitors ignore. Linux may not affect you directly, but if anyone in the org or collaborators use it, then you really want to be able to work with them too.

Those two things aside, Dropbox is very poor. They don't have multi-account support. (There is some abomination where you can combine exactly one personal account with one business account, in a frankenmonster hostile user experience.) Their activity logs don't tell you which machine made changes, only which user. The mobile app doesn't sync, but many users think it does. I don't know how competitors differ in these kind of things, but that is because I use Linux.
Thank you Tim for Moment and also for your kind farewell letter.

War doesn't work like that any more. "The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea." - Mao Zedong.
The enemy today is distributed amongst people you don't want to kill. Nobody stands up a big army in one place any more, unless they have absolute air superiority. The last one to try was Saddam Hussein.

The Roman Empire had a solution to this. If a province became too rebellious, they went in with the legions and killed everybody. Today this is considered overkill.

Eco points out that the resistance movement was more of a political exercise in keeping opposition alive than a military success. That was also true of the French Resistance. The efforts of the French Resistance before D-Day didn't accomplish much. They were supported by the Allies primarily so that they could do some key attacks on D-Day to confuse the situation and maintain the deception that the attack was at Calais. The most important function of the Resistance was that they provided the core of the French government once it was back in power. "The Third Republic has never ceased to exist" - de Gaulle.
Great to hear you're at least using OPVault :)

And also correct on the mini to extension protocol, there is no public documentation for that, primarily due to that being something we really need to be able to change as necessary.

We are really curious to see what you've come up with though :) So please keep me in the loop if possible!

With more and more games coming out for MacOS and Linux I think there is a good chance that gamers would just jump ship. People are incredibly invested both monetarily and emotionally in Steam.
> Seeing bugs and issues continue to roll in and being mentally unable to address them has led to feelings of failure and depression.

Holy crap, yes. That's absolutely the reason I turned Mjolnir into a DIY WM and constantly encourage people to move to the popular fork Hammerspoon.

I'm so glad nobody uses any software I write, for this exact reason. Honestly, I can't handle being an open source maintainer.

That's why I make sure that when I do write open source software (like 'choose'), it's so tiny that I can prove that it's feature complete and bug-free just by skimming the source in an afternoon. Well, that and dogfooding.

So glad "Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees" is here – one of my favorite books and the reason I became an artist ... and then stopped being an artist.

One of my most referenced parts of the book describes an entire year Irwin spent in Ibiza (IIRC) alone and not speaking to anyone in his late 20s. The insight he gathered that year really determined the rest of the career and enabled him to step outside of the zeitgeist of the time (abstract expressionism) into something totally different.

If you're in LA, you can see a garden he designed at the Getty Center. If you're in New York, you can visit DIA Beacon, which he also designed (or non-designed really). And if you ever get a chance to see his artwork, I highly recommend it.

Such restraint, such slowness.

I (correctly) self diagnosed (later confirmed by gastroenterologist) my Celiac disease through 23andme. But that is the easiest 1:1 gene correlation out there. My friend found out he had the same Parkinsons gene as Sergey Brin, and there are potentially things you can do to prepare. Exome testing may or may not be useful, depending on how much you invest in analyzing the results. I think it was of limited value until I ran it through Promethease.

You integrate it. You integrate the economy throughout the country so that the economic interests of West Virginians are aligned with Silicon Valley and Manhattan and Alabama. This means decentralization and access to opportunity for all, not a winner-take-all system.

You allow for differences, as well. Cultural differences such as a rural/urban divide should not be exacerbated by smarmy elitism in either direction. You do this not by highlighting differences (extreme PCism or racism/bigotry) but by fostering an attitude among our peoples of love towards their fellow person. That our differences are there, but that they don't ultimately matter.

Obviously our country (and others) have a long way to go with a lot of hard work ahead of us.
You don't get that something proprietary was stolen and the creators are upset? From a software perspective you can't imagine how you'd feel if a critical piece of your business software was reversed engineered and copied by a competitor? An example might be finance and low latency trading. Or an ML / AI breakthrough. Or anything on the fringe still providing a competitive advantage and not a solved problem on Github yet.

How can you paint such a broad stroke, like THOSE DESIGNERS, I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THEM! With the implication being those designers aren't open and collaborative and willing to share and don't understand iterating in the open like us developers. The quote is from one specific designer.
Global military policy fights fires at the source, when still small, not waiting for the fire to become an inferno, letting itself in into backyard without knocking.

I don't advocate the nonsense that we should all stay at home and do nothing. That's not my position.

But if the American people are unwilling to live with the idea of servicemen dying in some foreign war in the East China Sea or the Baltic, maybe we should take a good look at ourselves and decide how much agony we should endure.
32 hours of actual work is a lot. Of the people who "work" 60 hours a week I bet a lot of them work only 32 hours or less and do something else for the other 28 hours. With meetings and stuff I am happy if I get 20 hours of work in.
Or he decides to cut off trade immediately under some provisions in existing trade treaties without any attempt to negotiate any new tariffs (which China has been receptive to in the last year) which gives them no other recourse than to expand militarily to aide in the growth of their economy.
I'm aware of what's happening. It's definitely a norm in C and it produces desirable results in many cases (I've written similar structures myself many times). All I'm saying is that from a type perspective it's a bizarre choice to allow that.
Because that's apparently the price where the sellers maximize their profits. If people stop buying e-books at that price, the sellers may drop their prices. However, the price would still have to cover royalties, design costs, profits, etc.

A slightly different perspective from the other comments: as far as I know, 23andMe only works with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). While far better than nothing, this covers a combinatorially small subset of genetic variation, and, as such, is unable to detect the majority of genetic phenomena (although an approach that synthesizes data from multiple SNPs may expand its scope).

I can't read the full text of the research in question (http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/ng.3626....), but I suspect that they have done a much more expansive analysis than 23andMe's SNP-only approach permits.

I love scifi, and but I totally agree. I thought Ready Player One was terrible. My only explanation is that it's a huge nostalgia rush for a certain set of Gen X readers.

> The correlation between Open Source and burnout is no secret

This will sound unsympathetic, and I apologize for that, but I am genuinely puzzled.

Why would you "burn out" doing something that is presumably wholly voluntary?

In other words, why not quit or scale back involvement much sooner, before the downside(s) become so severe?

I'm not trying to criticize Tim Wood, I feel for him. And I LOVE moment.js! I'm very grateful for it and all the efforts that went, and goes, into it.
Is there significant compensation not captured by this tool (bonus, equity, amazing benefits)? $132K for a "2" with 10 years experience just seems really low in NYC. $171K for a "5" seems really low, too, since that person would be principle at Google or Microsoft.
I think the "stay home" comment was more about not actively deploying forces. Home can just as easily be forward deployed base. There's a huge difference between what American forces in Korea and Japan are doing than the forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, South Yemen, and the rest of the Greater Middle East.
There is nothing significant about this "discovery". It's just a press release, the full publication is here:
http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/content/139/5/e28.extract
However, it's pay-to-read.

Basically, the reason this is not significant is that there is no way to turn gene-disease associations into treatments. At best, it helps you focus on a gene target, but as you can see, this gene's protein product is an important player that has a role far beyond preventing/causing (or affecting the severity of) disease.

What's different (and it's not particularly different) is that this PR is in response to a social media challenge, the research was partly funded by it. Whether that means anything is hard to say- I don't really see ice bucket challenges scaling up to many diseases.
Speed is just not that important for most residential purchases. The most critical thing is ability to close, which is where cash excels. Predictability is #1 - given the choice between 80% chance to close in 10 days (remaining 20% the deal falls thru) or 99% chance to close in 30, almost everyone takes the latter, all else being equal. I just can't think of any situation where a turbo close gets you so many more deals that it's worth the extra risk as a lender.

On the other hand, people often pay extra for a lender that has a history of closing on-time.
What is ridiculous is not necessarily the salary but the portion of it that is for "Location Adjustment", $18,020. $20k extra to live in the Bay Area or New York is pretty ridiculous. For me in Houston TX I can live half as cheap, so 20k is nothing.

The conclusion (from pg 95), tldr; Yes:

-----------

Based on this work, Election Justice USA has established an upper estimate of 184 pledged delegates lost by Senator Bernie Sanders as a consequence of specific irregularities and instances of fraud. Adding these delegates to Senator Sanders’ pledged delegate total and subtracting the same number from Hillary Clinton’s total would more than erase the 359 pledged delegate gap between the two candidates. EJUSA established the upper estimate through exit polling data, statistical analysis by precinct size, and attention to the details of Democratic proportional awarding of national delegates. Even small changes in vote shares in critical states like Massachusetts and New York could have substantially changed the media narrative surrounding the primaries in ways that would likely have had far reaching consequences for Senator Sanders’ campaign.

Normally an independent investigator is paid regardless of their findings, and future business with other clients is dependent on maintaining a reputation for impartiality.
I realize this headline is meant to be inflammatory (look at those entitled people who get it all!), but this practice already exists for medical doctors: http://whitecoatinvestor.com/personal-finance/the-doctor-mor...

Basically: "you're about to have a high income and—as a class—have a very low default rate. We'll let you put 0% down and not count your student debt against you". Usually before you get your first paycheck (just need to show them the contract).

FWIW I'd argue that tech workers are—financially speaking—much more varied than doctors, who generally exit residency, get a position (sometimes in a new city) and see their income skyrocket. So I can't say this is perhaps as justifiable an idea as it is for new doctors, but I can buy the rationale for certain workers.

If you're in the boat of "I could afford a mortgage around here, but would take years to save a huge downpayment on these prices", the doctor mortgage can be a great thing. Not least of all because it's not always savvy to make a big downpayment: http://themortgagereports.com/18520/20-percent-downpayment-r...
I don't think my anecdotal evidence is particularly stronger than the author's. My point is just to take it all with the knowledge that what worked at google in an experiment there won't necessarily work for you in the same way. The world is complex and these things are contingent.
By storing the public key of your unique debit card and you only have the PIN inside the chip. This limits attacks to physical access and trained professionals in chip deconstruction.

This however needs a way to send your initial PIN over an insecure channel. To limit the attack surface go to the secure website to receive your PIN (no humans) (either an old card/digital state ID) or go in person and force a new PIN.
Fair point. Surely my solution would not work against such an enemy, since there is no "head" to attack swiftly.

I've always wondered about how does a project of this magnitude can be financial benefit to the author / maintainers.

Let's say that sometimes money could solve problems ( even with mental health and chronic condition of a family member ). Does this mean that if "moment.js" was a some sort of a huge money income we would've seen the author maintain his role?
