Modern GE may be achieving degrees of precision in certain biochemical contexts, but in other biological contexts essential to establishing GMO safety we still face confounding complexity and mystery. We should recognise life on Earth is vulnerable to human error (CFCs, Global warming ...) and respect the process and fruits of natural history.

Yeah, it's really weird how Windows and OS X have a 'loop' where the Desktop is a directory inside of your home directory.
> The grand irony in all of this is that the people who did go on to become plumbers, electricians, mechanics, roofers, HVAC specialists, etc, are all the ones that are currently in huge demand.

Huge demand? Not in the US. Trades salary growth has been flat.
KG6YHQ here. It's doable, but if the wired net becomes unusable and you have to rely wholly on the RF spectrum, bandwidth would be stupendously tiny. Forget about sending anything else but, basically, text-based messages.

Perhaps in an event like that a decision would be made to temporarily open up the spectrum, but even then there are only so many of us, only so many transceivers out there.

I feel the HAM net would be more useful after a natural catastrophe, where the infrastructure would be destroyed physically. Which is exactly what a lot of us are preparing for.
Would it? I'm not entirely sure what the origin of the technology involved is, but as they said, it implicitly enables it even on drivers that don't have it as an explicit option (like the audio driver stack on my Win7 box, at the moment).

Can you clarify this? I remember seeing some articles about this tactic in maybe 2010, but nothing before then. I recall the Gulf War and OIF/OEF infrastructure damage being primarily from aerial bombing, but it's possible I missed the articles about the hacking element.

I'm not doing the snarky "citations pls" thing; I don't dispute it happened. I just want to know more.
There are vast differences in the cost and benefits of different degrees. Nobody forces you to go to an expensive, low-benefit university.

In fact, there are lots of free calculators which will show you the expected earnings and cost of different degrees.

You can single-handedly decide to go to a cheap community college for the first 2 years.
It has nothing to do with the firmware it has to do with the fact that they haven't delivered a single working router to a customer yet. You don't seriously believe that buying something through a crowd funding campaign carries zero risk do you?
Thanks for the link. I love reading books about early adventurers who first explored our planet.

My favourite so far has been Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage about Shakleton's semi-doomed voyage to Antarctica where they survived an entire winter after their boat got stranded in ice. Mostly by eating seals... and their sled dogs at one point.

>Lying on DS-160 was the reason the Feds managed to initially arrest 9/11 attacker Zacarias Moussaoui.

Yes lying on the DS-160 is probably a reason to arrest Zacarias, but that is not what happened.

Just a quick idea of mine was:"So github is pretty centralized right now,so is gitlab as well.But I can run gitlab on my own machine. So would it be possible for gitlab to offer a sync service,where I could sync my gitlab server with gitlabs' server? " So if gitlab(github) is down I can ~~let~~ rely on my local copy?

Nothing major, beyond the controversies listed here[0] and the developer's more cavalier approach to whitelisting. Plus resource usage was double what was on offer by the much more fine-grained uMatrix. At the time at least. Maybe still.

The Tor project still bundle NS in with their browser, hardened, I believe (stricter whitelisting, for one) but they clearly still trust it. Better than nothing, but far from perfect IMO.

Well, and really I think it depends on the person rather than the degree. One of my friends majored in theater, which I'm sure many people see as a useless degree. She paid off her loans and bought a house within 3 years of graduating and owns a successful business teaching voice lessons over skype. On other other hand, I know someone who has a PhD in biochemistry who struggled to find a job for years. It's not fair to say "this degree is bad and this one is good." There are so many other factors.

Upvoted. But. The argument against this could be that due to the unsecured nature of the six-figure (potentially) debt the free market rates will be insane effectively reducing access to higher ed for those who can't afford it without the loans.

Then again, if less ppl could afford a degree in Queer Musicology (does exist - https://www.musicology.ucla.edu/mission-and-history-1) or let's say Environmental Studies etc maybe the supply and demand would even out so that'll be a good thing.
Hey!

My name's Roger and I recently left a position as a DevOps Engineer at a startup in Redwood City to do something different and broaden my skill set.

I'm currently exploring full stack development, starting with Rails and incorporating React in the future.

My current side project is going to improve the job search process for developers.

This is going to be my first Startup School so I'm excited to listen to notable speakers and meet y'all!

Feel free to reach out if I don't reply at me[at]Lamroger.com!
It might sound blasphemous but I (as a non-expert in crypto) would be satisfied if either you or Bruce didn't cite their writing about crypto.

Yes, appeal to authority and all that, but I don't have time to fully learn a field to find out if a cryptographer is mistaken.

Also, the point I was making is that if he wants to leave work uncited, it should at least be the work he has actual credibility in.
Maybe it's a matter of preference? I really miss just having a big pot of drip coffee. The machines where I am now (Europe, but not a part known for its cuisine) are all these Gaggia things that make a lot of noise and take ages to produce a cup of kind of flavorless, mediocre coffee, even with decent(ish) beans.
Well, dating five people if you're (mostly hetero) female; dating one or two people, who are each dating five people, if you're (mostly hetero) male.

Edit: Arguably, this is a better outcome than monogamy in a highly gender-skewed community (e.g. 1 in 2 het men dateless).
Thanks, thats a fascinating read.

I guess my first point would be that I said, "fiduciary responsibility" not legal obligation.

I really loved this quote at the end... "the idea that good decisions are the product of orderly processes – is more alive than ever in public affairs. ...There is not, and never will be, such a science. Our objectives are typically imprecise, multifaceted and change as we progress towards them – and properly so. Our decisions depend on the responses of others, and on what we anticipate these responses will be. The world is complex and imperfectly known, and this will remain true however much we analyse it."
Our use-case is perhaps a bit unique, but ROS has a federated development model, meaning literally hundreds of repos. See the following file which maps repos to package names and versions:

https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/master/indigo/distribu...

These get generated into thousands of jobs: http://build.ros.org/view/All/

It would be totally unrealistic to rev job configurations by making commits into the individual repos (and in the public open source case, actually impossible— the maintainers of that community build infrastructure don't have write access to many of the repos— it's equivalent to a Debian distro using DSC files to grab tarballs).
Of course you should care about your spouse. But you're ultimately not in control of them as you would be with a dog or a child. They control their own actions. You should totally discuss it with them! Even if it hurts their feelings sometimes.

But if I'm pondering getting dessert and my SO says, "Hmm, let me think on if I'll allow it" I'd think he was an arse.

And as far as sexism, if anyone said that they'd be an arse.
I recently discovered a startup called Endless that appears to be working on the content/caching side of this problem. They're for-profit but seem to have good intentions between releasing their OS as open source and creating affordable hardware targeted at emerging markets.

I do find the terminology interesting. He calls it "weed", but in my experience it's the much younger generation who call it that. Us oldsters seem to call it "pot", or sometimes a term I coined back in the day: "programmer's fuel."
Not a ton different, if you've used OPatch already. Basically it copies around files, runs a bunch of perl, runs a bunch of sql, and then you run the usual patch upgrade scripts at the end. The in-place patching is safer and smoother in 12c than it was in 11g, but the cumulative patching has really gotten out of hand.

For example - on a QA system we were running a couple of custom one-off patches delivered by Oracle Support. These blew up the entire patch process. I had to stop, back them out, re-patch, then re-apply the one-off patches.

Oh, and 12c is a seriously whiny bitch about XDB. Just for added fun.
Uhmm...yeah, I thought I pretty much said that. My point was from the application developer's perspective, what's the difference? Even now, C++ can be compiled to JS via EMScripten to asm.js.

I don't write "JavaScript" right now. I write Typescript. Most of the front-end ecosystems that I deal with (primarily Aurelia and React) aren't being written in ES5. It's usually ES6/7 and Typescript.

This is fascinating stuff. I am going to ask more dumb questions :) I guess most of it is secret but still.

To do this kind of fingerprinting one needs to be able to inspect a large chunk of traffic of the whole Internet. I thought that was not really possible for private companies (except maybe a few).

How do you fingerprint malicious executables if the traffic is encrypted?

I suppose attempts to cover your tracks and to impersonate other groups are common. Are they feasible?

> Per the article

Not quite, it says "If the attacker has a bigger fire hose of data than the defender has, the attacker wins" and "the size and scale of these probes—and especially their persistence—points to state actors" which is not quite the same as saying you need to own the bandwidth. For example, DNS amplification can be used "to turn initially small queries into much larger payloads, which are used to bring down the victim’s servers".

https://www.incapsula.com/ddos/attack-glossary/dns-amplifica...

So maybe there are other techniques which might allow for similar leverage. Neither is the article conclusive about "state actors", they are merely "pointed to". As for expertise ... I don't doubt there are people out there who have it or might acquire it. So it's still an interesting question imo.
Well, then people want transplants, but people also don't want to be donors. Maybe that's just how it is.

In a way, making it "opt-in" by default is kind of similar to these anti-patterns we see online. Where the "close" button is very tiny in the corner, or the option to hide content is buried under 3 layers of settings.

Until we make organ donation mandatory and no longer optional there is only so much we can do. We need to accept to play the game and recognize the right to people to not be organ donors, whatever reasons they may have.
Market price/expectation. Everybody else does it, so you have to too, unless you can move $23 ordinary chicken sandwiches.
Hi diggan,

Offline mode is an interesting problem. For example, module-fs is 1 part code, 99 parts infrastructure really. We have 3.5TB of installed packages, stored internally in a content-addressable way, and then exposed as a file system through FUSE. module-fs seems to be something that only becomes powerful when you have ALL packages, thus really having similar performance characteristics of having already installed the packages. The solutions I've seen that try to download packages in the background, etc. don't quite provide this magical "I only need to require it" feeling. Its similar to the issue we have with providing real time-traveling locally: in my experience "time-traveling" has never taken off because its eternally stuck in demo-mode, as all code eventually interacts with the outside world. By snapshotting the entire computer, I think we've pushed this feature over the edge to the point that people use it without realizing it on RunKit, it is of course natural that going back in a REPL also goes back to a previous state. But locally, this feature once again doesn't seem to immediately make sense. At that point the question becomes what part of RunKit would we offer locally? Just the object viewers? I ask this non-rhetorically btw, I am happy to hear what you imagine a "local" RunKit to look like, and if it makes sense we'd certainly consider pursuing it.

Peggy K in the comments!!! We remember her from the days when our AdSense account with over $40,000 on it got banned for obscure Hungarian or Thai keyword in a user profile that caused the ban (majority of our users are English speaking). When we tried to contact Google, we had to post on a product forum, where Peggy K would relay our "concerns" to the "adsense policy team". It was never clear whether this Peggy K was an employee of Google, a volunteer or a collective support handle, but many smaller publishers with tens of thousands of dollars suddenly confiscated by the big G and their revenue suddenly cut off by a no-reply@google.com email had no choice but to appeal to her on a public product forum!

Bleeding potential users? They have much bigger issues than creators keeping in touch with fans.

Last thing I want is a forced feed of everyone posting every time they're streaming on twitch. There's already a system to notify there so doubling it up is useless.

The problem is that now AGW is on a moral footing, with oil companies in the role tobacco companies were in 20ish to 30ish years ago.

That's an artifact of the propagandistic nature of the actors in the issue - on both sides. I believe they do that because it better meets their goals. They have a need to win. And it's not an imagined need - the issue has slipped into an adversarial shape.

The article exposes this well - people are well-bifurcated around two poles - 1) it's the end of the world or 2) it's no big deal.

Maybe that is right, but I rather expect there's something else in play ( because the timescales are fairly long and we're bounded by out ability to learn ) , and that the more productive approach will be more moderate and possibly more experimental. Taking the position of "no, everyone must modify their behavior" does not seem the most reasonable of all possible positions.

But I am just interested in it as a problem to be solved, not as a means of winning something.

IMO, all the furor seems more likely to produce heat than light. It's slightly crank-ey but I still enjoyed Chrichton's "State of Fear" immensely.
