Honestly, you probably got downvoted because federal student loan forgiveness (which I didn't see Conor mention anywhere) sounds an awful lot like like spam and off-topic. However, your email with 'crypt' in it seems that you're at least partly on topic and your addressing the OP by first name shows that at least you're not a bot (or perhaps a very smart bot) :) I upvoted you for the benefit of the doubt anyway.

> You don't need to rely on Google ... should be on WoSign's own Certificate Transparency log which you can download

Given that the behaviours being documented include falsifying data (backdating certificates to get around SHA1 retirement), I would prefer to at least use information from Google (or another third party) for the purpose of verification, rather than just relying on information sourced from WoSign/StartCom.

> Low-risk borrowing would get utility loans, producing actually-guaranteed-AAA investments.

I think this is where it falls over. Providing an actual guarantee for things that are low- but not zero-risk is just another way of saying "mispricing risk", and it creates the wrong incentives for pretty much everyone. Borrowers want to push the definition of "low-risk" so they can borrow at a subsidized rate. Lenders (in which I'm including the people buying your "actually-guaranteed-AAA investments") want to push it so that they can lend at zero risk but still make nonzero profit. Governments administering a public utility banking system want to push it because jam today gets votes today, and who cares about tomorrow?

IMO this is all happening already with the artificially-low interest rates being pushed by central banks almost everywhere; if they wanted to repeat 2008 I'm not sure they could do a better job.

My idea of "utility banking" would exclude any kind of loans. It would include only things which are genuinely risk-free, like transfers and deposits.

What really struck me from this is the complete move over to software based networking. If all the big cloud players do this, and if you think a lot of infrastructure will be moving over to the cloud (because of cost pressures) over the next few years, what does that mean for Cisco and other big sellers of hardware based networking gear? Is that whole business going to go away?

This has been a big part of my experience.

I think the last 3 times I've gone to SO to write a question I spend an hour finding the right code samples, explaining what the problem is and why I need to solve it. Why I've chosen this route and after all that has been put down on the page I see what the real issue is and solve it before its even submitted.

It's almost become another tool to use, "How would I structure this problem if I needed help from the community?" It forces you to think through the problem into the route cause, almost like debugging your thoughts and removing the bloat
Non-standards can lead to standards. AMD's Mantle graphics API, for example, was donated to the GLnext effort, which was then renamed Vulkan. If not for this kick start, GLnext would probably still be figuring out a decent API design. Companies need to have the prerogative to do their own thing for a while, because it can lead to better standards.

>I think you absolutely do have to coerce a standard if one does not already exist.

I think I actually had this idea recently, with regard to print cartridges. The idea is that the government would mandate inkjet printers to adopt an open standard for print cartridges, but the law would expire after a number of years. The idea is that once it's established, no company is going to be able to get out of it without damaging their position in the market, but genuine innovation is allowed to appeal to consumers on its own merits, weighed against the downside of divergence from an established standard.

I disagree, I find it intuitive that autism is genetic. View autism as a genetically induced alternate brain development.

To truly fix the situation would probably require:
1) Tracking every single saleable physical asset
2) Paying manufacturer's a small fixed income type subsidy for every extra year their product lasts.
3) Charging manufacturer's a small penalty tax when their product becomes waste.

#2 is essential because otherwise manufacturing obsolescence into the product will be more profitable for the company. The economic reward of long lasting product & enduring customer relationship needs to be better than sell one every few years.

It's easy to nitpick and find fault with Stack Overflow, but it is hard to argue with the results. The site has done something amazing: it has harnessed the wild democracy that is the internet and produced something of great and lasting value to a lot of people.

It didn't do that by being a wild-west open-to-anything community. If that's what you want, go to Reddit. But you'll be hard pressed to find quality content that goes beyond "16 Animal Memes That Speed Up Your PHP And Improve Your Sex Life". It's the structure that allows Stack Overflow to succeed.

The big issue here is that you're identifying duplicate questions (which is helpful!) but don't have the reputation yet to mark them as duplicates. So you have answers that are essentially calling them out as duplicates, but won't help them get marked as such.

That's... A hard problem. On the one hand, it'd be nice if we could just lower the reputation needed to flag things as duplicates... on the other, there's a real risk of abuse there if folks who aren't yet familiar with how things work go around flagging things and annoying askers: there are a lot of new questions that are similar to existing questions, but have subtle differences that a cursory examination may not pick up.

An idea that's been tossed around for a few years is to enable folks to essentially post "this is a duplicate" answers that do nothing but link and summarize another answer... If they get upvoted / accepted, the question is a duplicate; if they get downvoted, it's not. There are some potential pitfalls there too, of course.

In the meantime, my best advice would be to summarize the answers you're linking to, and spend at least a sentence or two explaining how they relate to the question you're answering... Then include a link as your source. Not only does this avoid problems when the question isn't a duplicate, it doesn't make it look like you're just trying to ride the coattails of someone else (which tends to inspire negative reactions in people even when the answer is helpful).

Having tried both the "VR" of 1993 and the VR of today, I would argue it's nearly incorrect for them to have the same name. The goal was the same, but the technology to do decent VR didn't exist back then. There's a certain amount of responsiveness and optical clarity required for a decent VR experience.
With a caveat, which sends a pretty strong and clear message:

> We plan to distrust only newly-issued certificates to try and reduce the impact on web users [..] Our proposal is that we determine “newly issued” by examining the notBefore date [...] therefore WoSign/StartCom could back-date certificates to get around this restriction. And there is, as we have explained, evidence that they have done this in the past. [...] if such additional back-dating is discovered (by any means), Mozilla will immediately and permanently revoke trust in all WoSign and StartCom roots.

I'm running into this with some of my drones now.

The 3DR Iris Plus was released in 2014 and they've already ceased supporting it, less than two years after releasing it. This means no more OEM parts available and whatever is out there right now, is out there. I have found only one distributor who carries parts for this model - so I'm left with either being super careful and not crashing again (unlikely) or selling it to someone who doesn't know they can't get parts for it anymore.

I'm probably going to sell it. It was shocking to know they just dropped hardware support for this model after only two years of supporting it.

This is really far from true.

Acid rain is one of the primary issues with SOx pollution. It concentrates in rivers for example because the volume of rain water to overall water is very high. In the ocean new rain water never makes up a significant fraction of the top two meters of water.

>I took a class on design for low PUE implementation and some comments from government data center technicians who said, in order to comply with the federally mandated PUE requirements, that people were leaving on or turning on zombie boxes to up their IT load.

AFAIK, the DCOI sets a target PUE of 1.5 or less, so running unnecessary workloads to meet the target PUE doesn't make much sense. I would bet there was some other kind of tomfoolery going on (hiding the fact that the DC overspent on efficiency when building out/upgrading the facility, or something along those lines).
I use Safari mostly. Firefox sometimes, and I'll use Chrome when I need to something that has Flash. Safari has always been fast enough for me, I like the Firefox plugins/greasemonkey, and really, I don't have much of a need for Chrome because I tend to stay out of the Googleverse.
Well, that's just not true IMHO. They need the ABI stability or I wouldn't do anything for enterprise. Also, Foundation getting open sourced is a huge part of this to avoid using third party libs for a huge amount of things (HTTP requests for example).
I agree. It's very strange that extremely simple, very fundamental functions lead to such stochastic-looking nonsymnetric behavior. Where does all that "entropy" come from? It's certainly not hidden in any big numbers in the fractal definition.
Well I don't know any experienced developer that would put more than three populated scenes in a Storyboard.

They're not "killing" anyone. They have reasonable doubt that the CA has misrepresented the truth and engaged in practices that violate the rules set forth by the CAB and those for inclusion in the Mozilla trust store. There will have to be consequences for else it means nothing.

They're also very clear that they do not intend to invalidate any already issued certificates, only new ones after a specific, yet to be decided, date and that they remain open to re-inclusion after the year's time-out and passing the normal inclusion tests. However, they rightfully set forth a requirement for some audits to take place by Mozilla appointed parties. For this I'm particularly thankful as if the auditors are allowed to keep doing this kind of hodge-bodge botch job the already strained trust in CA's is further weakened.

Considering I believe one of the writers of this was from Google, I guess we can assume they'll likely follow?

With both Chrome and Firefox no longer allowing certificates from them we can expect customers to no longer buy from them which will result in no more certificates even if Apple/Microsoft don't follow.

Further edit:

Everyone is rightly pointing out that it's not a huge engine, but two things to keep in mind.. Musk's ISP figures correspond to operating in a vacuum and of course at that point the bell will be significantly larger (14ft like mentioned). If used for the first stage, the Raptors will likely have similar-sized bells to the current Merlin engines. The bell is just the expansion chamber and doesn't really relate to the actual engine size (except of course to optimize expansion ratio).

The shuttle engines weren't huge, but the bells were quite large, I think the expectation is that the Raptor will be between 1/2 and 1/4 of the Shuttle engine size/weight:

When under conditions of low blood sugar, muscles are the easiest source of sugar. Low blood sugar -> Cortisol release -> muscle destruction. If you search for 'cortisol muscles', I'm sure you'll find something helpful.

Fruit juice is one of the best sources of sugar - many fruits are good sources of potassium, which helps the body burn sugar instead of store it. Milk is also a good source of potassium.

It amazes me how Sega failed so spectacularly and repeatedly. First they tried incremental updates to the Genesis with the CD and 32X and failed to bring anything worthwhile. Then they had the disaster of the Saturn, which was so complex that few developers were able to release any appealing games. Sega themselves didn't even manage to release a flagship Sonic game.

The Dreamcast had so much potential, a year's head start over the PS2, a decent selection of launch titles, and online games, but I guess the damage was already done. They struggled to put their own franchises to good use on other systems since then, and now mostly seem to survive as a publisher and owner of a few third party developers.

In hindsight, perhaps it's more accurate to look at Sega as a company that had one good breakthrough with the Genesis that they could never replicate, rather than a once great company who failed. It was a long series of bad decisions after that, not just a single failure.

An interesting excerpt from the article:

Maybe they really were just ahead of their time, with the biggest companies still trying and failing in these areas. Or maybe it just shows they're just plain bad ideas.
Behaviours of StartCom and its owner WoSign that are against the accepted rules of the industry they work in, in industry for which trust if key, is killing StartCom.

Being popular does not give you the right to expect transgressions to be ignored.

I used to use StartCom and even recommend them (it was an inexpensive way to get wildcard and multi-domain certificates). Since LetsEncrypt they have far less relevance, and since recent behaviours I wouldn't trust them if they were still relevant to my needs. The one wildcard I still use (because lazy mainly) I paid for a new version of elsewhere, my other SSL needs LetsEncrypt does the job.

No.

Air travel is generally a separate category of travel that's mostly independent from other forms of travel. It directly competes with long range high speed rail, but it's far worse than rail travel. http://www.seat61.com/CO2flights.htm

Air travel sit's between single passenger cars and buses in terms of pollution. The break-even is generally ~3 people in a car depending on MPG and how out of the way the airport is.
