Good catch about the non-native thing! I felt the same as soon as I read first two lines of his post. Anyway, in my experience there are only two guaranteed paths to break in to "Executive Management":

1) You need to bring in a client who contributes big revenue $ to your company or division's bottom line. Or,

2) Develop the next big rain-maker product or service.

MBA can help you become a manager, associate, or AVP but that's about it.

You can hash the password in a way that allows the server to verify but without providing the server or an interceptor with the ability to impersonate. SRP/PAKE and SCRAM are examples.
It seems like it should be really easy to fix too: add a proper authentication protocol, with protocol negotiation, and then in subsequent versions of SSH, make the warning messages more and more scary. Something like

> The remote host 'ssh.overwathc.org' WANTS TO SEE YOUR PASSWORD, even though current versions of SSH can authenticate without revealing it. You have never connected to this host before -- it could be operated by an attacker. Are you sure you want to show your password to this host (yes/no)?

I'm curious why you would have that impression and why you think investing is the way to achieve those things.
Very interesting.

I did some testing a while ago and didn't see much gain past 30 on 4 SSD disks. Should do another round of testing. Thank you for sharing.
I don't see anything in the thread to suggest Berkshire was created from index investing. Someone just mentioned investing like Buffet.
The first 100 pages are by far the hardest. They contain the stylistically most challenging passages, and DFW introduces nearly all characters and settings within those 100 pages, in a non-linear fashion to boot. For that reason, it takes a while to get into. You'll get the hang of it between page 150 and 250, and from there on, it's an absolutely riveting read.
This is an excellent point. I work at one of those companies. Actually, it qualifies as a tech company, but our main revenue source is not software. I think that the pace of work at a multidisciplinary company isn't as frenetic as a pure software shop, just because it can't be. And we don't conduct coding interviews.

I had a conversation with one of our developers recently. He could have been you. He told me that he had interviewed at the big software shops, and had flunked the coding interviews. Yet I know that he's a very bright and productive engineer, who is also a pleasure to work with. I asked him: After those interviews, would you really have wanted to work at one of those shops? He said that he wouldn't.

And I know that I wouldn't survive that atmosphere either. So you're in good company.
$20-$45. $20 was probably the early bird. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/roguelike-celebration-tickets-2...
OpenSSH actually has native support for using certificates (in a custom format, not X.509), so if you're building out PKI with SSH in mind it's probably worth going that route.

See: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-crea...

Netflix's BLESS project is a neat example of how to build a simple OpenSSH PKI using AWS primitives.
In the US I've had the most luck in fairly dense suburbs outside of major cities. If you get too rural it's hard to get the density where it needs to be to have decent profit margins. I honestly don't think there's any reason it couldn't work in urban areas in the US, just a different set of constraints. But it does seem to be less common.
Textbooks in the US are insidiously over priced. Even the International editions, basically black and white paperbacks are still quite expensive.

I buy a fair amount of textbooks for self study. Current year additions of Math and Science books are around $200 and solution manuals are around $50. Most of these books rarely change there content. For instance a basic Calculus textbook that is in its 12th edition is around $200. More advanced books for upper division / grad level can go as high as $300 for a few hundred page paperback.

"Copyright is intended to increase and not to impede the harvest of knowledge. It is intended to motivate the creative activity of authors and inventors in order to benefit the public," the court said."

You might need to get 8-10 books to cover a particular topic in depth. That could easily put you over $2000. If you have to pay for that out of pocket most people simply can not afford it.

Its an impressive ruling by the Indian Courts.
You're probably right, I wonder if there's a door entry that doesn't require some handy-work to enter. Pretty interesting that that could be a defense mechanism
Actually, I've tried doing that. It worked for a while until one at I thought, "does Vanguard keep the course?" Turns out that when you look at it, they've made numerous "tweaks" throughout the years, and often bad calls. They definitely chase performance. Increased stock allocation right before the housing bubble crash. Increased international allocation when they saw it was performing well. Besides, they hold international currency-hedged bonds, something that no one seems to be able to come up with a good reason for.
WISPs have higher latency/loss than wired, correct?

Also, how would you go about making an ISP for a dense urban area with no real higher-than-everything-else structures? Like, say you wanted to build out fiber in Berkeley: there is dark fiber going down the middle of the city, you'd need to get a physical wire from the cable to some room where you split it out in to other cable bunches? Is most of the difficulty in doing so from the difficulty in physically putting down wires?
Dollar cost averaging doesn't have a better expected value than lump sum investing, but it should have a lower variance, no?

Also, there's dollar cost averaging like "I have a lump sum now, but I will invest it slowly over the next 2 years" and there is dollar cost averaging like "I will invest money as it comes in slowly over the next 2 years instead of saving it up and investing it as a lump sum then". The former is the technical definition, but the latter is what most people mean when they use the term informally...
There's more than one way to run a startup. There are startups that are very product focused, with very little personal salesmanship.
There was a really small one that serviced half of my apartment complex in Pleasant Grove, Utah back in 2006 or so. A colleague who lived in the same complex told me about them. I called to see if I could sign up and the guy came out to my apartment and told me that because my apartment faced the inner courtyard, I wouldn't get good service, so he couldn't sign me up. :\

The ONLY internet access available was provided by the apartment complex itself. I think they had a few T1s split between a couple hundred units. Even 10 years ago, that was still embarrassingly bad. It was unusable in the evenings or weekends. You could do a traditional ARP spoof and read everyone's traffic. Really bad stuff.

I had no option but to deal. I set up a VPN to protect and compress my traffic and spent weekends at the homes of friends and family.

These days, I hear wireless ISPs are far more versatile and reliable. They're great options for people who get stuck like I was (as long as your apartment points the right direction!).
Twitter could create a micro payment tip system as a button next to the heart. Give popular users a way to monetize their followers, creating a virtuous cycle attracting more content publishers.

What about a non-profit? Sort of a way around the issue.

Further, everything you buy avoids sales tax, so that alone gets you an 8% cost advantage.
The analogy would be that no letter carrier may charge more (or deliver slower/faster) packages from particular suppliers.

The consumer and supplier are both welcome to pay for faster service for all their packages but a particular supplier cannot be singled out just because of who they are or what they sell.
> WISPs have higher latency/loss than wired, correct?

Not necessarily, depends on what equipment is used and what the topology of the network is. It's not impossible to get 40-50ms latency on WISP networks out to Google, which is similar to what I get on Comcast.

To your second point - my specialty is wireless, but the reality is that wireless doesn't work everywhere. If there really is no single location that can see at least a few hundred homes with full line of sight then wireless probably isn't the answer. So then you're looking at fiber, and I think you're exactly right - the difficulty is in getting that wire down the last mile from the center of town (or whatever) to the customer. Sorry I don't know Berkley very well.

I understand there is a difference between cashflow and assets on a balance sheet but how can a company worth $1bn go bankrupt?

Does bankruptcy means something other than insolvent? Is liquidation or receivership a more accurate term?

Otherwise you would think a bank would lend enough cash to keep the lights on.

One remarkable thing that most Americans don't seem to know; the US is one of two countries (the other being Eritrea) that takes income tax on income earned while living outside the US. While there are some tax credits that lessen this burden, the only way to free oneself of US income tax is to renounce citizenship. Renouncing citizenship requires a fee of over $2000 and several years of extensive tax records at the IRS's request.

HashKnownHosts?
The reason for that is simply that most of the time people aren't just making claims, they're referencing claims - just like I have. The arguments and evidence you think my comment is missing, isn't actually missing it's just implied.

The claims I made specifically are essentially just repeating what Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations in the 18th century. This is fairly basic economics.

Also not sure what the curriculum in the US (or elsewhere) is like but I learned about this in high school (well, at a Gymnasium which is supposed to be more advanced but still). I wouldn't bother to provide arguments, evidence or any kind of proofs in a discussion involving high school mathematics either.
It's possible to set up multi-factor auth in SSH - I use both SSH keyfile & password to log into my home server.
Doh. It felt like there should be a more complex method replacing the hash with an asymmetric op, but I knew it would be hard to casually describe. In retrospect, obviously the "zero knowledge" bit must imply the server does not know the password!

But yeah, general point remains that currently, crypt(3) is a black box to login methods. To make any login method not have to handle the actual password, it needs to be some well-defined function that is compatible with such math.
Yea, as soon as a rider fails to get a ride on one app they look elsewhere (that's how I tried Lyft for the first time and had a great experience).

With the legal barriers in place, I was incredibly impressed with Austin's Ride Austin arrangement. Incentivizing drivers to keep more money in their pocket is going to be pretty damn compelling and unique legal environments encourage new entrants.

Uber has an incredible brand and has become the "google it" of ride sharing. That's very valuable and defensible but it risks becoming a colloquial "kleenex" for ride sharing.
Really easy...
Thank you. That's fascinating. I'm trying to do this with bots.
Everyone always says four, yet swap Apple and Microsoft... This is apparently for historical reasons—there's always been a "big four" since the Great War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Four

It's clearly currently five. In order of market cap: Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon. Note that these are now the five biggest publicly traded companies in the world, not merely in "tech" (a clearly archaic categorization).
What product did you pitch? Scripted or not, it must have been a cool experience. Did you get funded?

I think persuasion pieces have become somewhat synonymous with "advertising" due to the rise in popularity of sponsored content. With everyone trying to sell you something, it's hard not to become jaded.
Knuth interview (1993)
This is an incredibly beautiful tutorial. Art, deconstruction, minimalism and some of the greatest musical artists of the 20th century! What an amazing way to explore the mechanics and mechanisms behind these artists.

I had heard of other minimalist artists before, but until a couple years ago somehow had missed Reich.

I'm now an addict, especially to his later pieces when he really started growing his work into larger and larger themes. "Music for 18 Musicians" has become one of my favorite pieces of music of all time. I say this as somebody who finds a great deal of modern art fairly deplorable -- the first time I heard some of Reich's pieces I stayed up the entire night finding everything of his I could put into my ears.

Reich has a nack for finding incredibly beautiful and urgent patterns and sounds and exploring them to a kind of amazing fullness. I never had the pleasure to play any of this pieces when I was attempting to become a musician, I understand that the practice for a piece can take months to a year because of the difficulties of maintaining your part of the phase. Listening to his music is, to me, a very intense activity, because I desperately want to notice when the music starts changing and because of the phasing it never does. There's certain parts of the phasing to that I find particularly enjoyable, but I've also found that you can't just jump to them, you have to encounter them in the context of the phases that come before and after. Once you get quite familiar with his music you'll find elements of his influence all over the place (for example, careful listeners will probably recognize this piece as the core of a much later EDM hit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Miu19QHBQiw).

I don't enjoy his earlier, very intense explorations into phase music, but he manages to develop the concepts into a very full and beautiful music:

I think you aren't asking yourself the right question.

It's not about whether you are "Cut out" for it or not.

The most important question is: Are you doing what you want with your life? And is your current path helping you get there?

Semver is wonderful... If every dependency in your dependency tree follows semver perfectly.

But the reality is that while you may lock your immediate dependencies down, you are still at the mercy of what is probably a pretty deep tree of transitive dependencies, of which you have very little control over. Unless you resort to things like shrinkwrap in the npm world. Which kinda feels like a gigantic hack to me.
Sure, I use this one too. If it's not your core competency buy it from someone else.

Down the path to The Perfect Metaphor lies madness.

For example, people on both ends are paying their respective ISPs for traffic in both directions, and ISPs can artificially favor the content of their own sibling-companies without a payment occurring.

The important thing here is that such policies are not monopoly-grants, and their net effect is the opposite, to deter monopolies.
If you are making $50K/year - it does NOT make sense to save in order to push retirement income up to $100K/year.

On the other hand, saving when you have $150K/year income in order to push your retirement up to $100K/year could make sense.

I call BS on this:

The Vick Family Farms predicament was described in a recent New York Times article. The business has used Greenlight's faster Internet to support a high-tech packing plant that automatically sorts sweet potatoes by size and quality, with each spud tagged with its own bar code. “We’re very worried because there is no way we could run this equipment on the Internet service we used to have, and we can’t imagine the loss we’ll have to the business,” farm sales head Charlotte Vick said.

Potato-sorting and tagging does not require internet access.
A strong social safety net is incompatible with “freedom” when the Koch brothers and their billionaire buddies are paying for the word’s definition.

With npm, unless you are using shrinkwrap - you only have direct control over the versions of your _direct_ dependencies.

95% of the things you actually depend on are likely going to have oodles of dependencies themselves. Which likely have more dependencies themselves. Which leaves you at the mercy of your entire tree of dependencies being authored by people who respect/understand semver and who are diligent enough to test the bejeezus out of their code every time they make changes.

I recommend FreeIPA. You can find thorough documentation here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterp...

You'd need to install and configure a FreeIPA server. They make it easy to setup master-master replication which you'll likely want to do. You'd create a user, add a HOTP secret (from a Yubikey or Authenticator app), and force the use of 2FA. Then once you add a client to the domain you'll have to log in using your password and a HOTP token.
