US fiat currency has only existed for 45 years, which is less time than your outside range for "proof that its a stable currency."

Plans up to 8 brokers, 2.4TB capacity, 6 week retention.

I'm torn because it's quite expensive and 150GB seems kind of small. However, it's been quite an undertaking to try to set up a Zookeeper and Kafka cluster myself in AWS.
During my faste days, wherein my caloric intake drops down to the two-hundreds I have experienced significant improvements in cognition. Specifically my awareness of my surroundings, ability to concentrate for long periods of time and short term memory recall improved noticeably.

The first time it happened to me during one of my faste days it felt as though I had taken a powerful stimulant.
Since we're discussing this, I wanted to ask a question in regard to electrolytes.

First time I tried keto everything was fantastic except I missed the electrolyte requirement and ended up with heart palpitations along with muscle cramps and overall crappy feeling once enough time passed and I unwittingly ignored the electrolytes.

Talking to doctors proved to be worthless because most of them haven't even heard of keto nor understand why anyone would do that.

Does anyone have advice or reading materials in regard to this aspect of keto?

Doesn't sound like a possible a reason for me. Conflict in the region has existed for some time, so place for photo cameras focusing was well known.

> is kept secret so as not to disclose surveillance capabilities.

It's not a news that we are being watched, so this reason also doesn't sound reasonable for me.

Any other reason? May they have something to hide?

As I understood many of the so called evidences are based on the youtube movies taken by the cell phones by random people. So that should not be a problem to fake such kind of evidences. Also treating google earth photos like an evidence sounds funny for me.

Let me explain a little further.

As of 2016-08-28, we have reached a point where the most upvoted comment on a popular post is vilifying ignorant people as "garbage". That means the problem is not one person or a small group of people; the majority of the active users on the site endorse such dehumanizing tactics. Of course, like everyone else, without listening to you, they won't be able to tell when they're actually the mistaken ones. But they won't be able to listen to you if they begin the process by deciding that you are subhuman scum.

Consequently, dialogue is impossible.

The best way to bring about change, barring immediate decisive action by moderators here, does not involve trying to bring it about on this website. It has become part of the problem. Maybe it always was by its very nature.

> That's all well and good, but the problem is finding a business-sustainable way to scalably deploy such a system.

Is this effectively not how keybase.io works / what they are doing? Bootstrapping identity is pretty easy, unless you're working remotely. Even then, trust-on-first-use can probably go marginally farther than what we have now. I don't think the problem is scaling that web of trust, as not everyone should need to know / sign for every employee immediately.

I think the bigger issue is just getting people to adopt public keys and digital identities based on them. Hijacking identity through social engineering is pretty rare, even if it's not particularly "hard." So most people won't want to bother with something like this until it's too late.
Good god, what on earth for?
Not aiming this at you but just people in general, but I'm pretty sure one could lose weight in a much healthier way by just eating a balanced diet (eating REAL food, not processed junk), not overeating, cutting out as much added sugar as possible (under 30g a day is recommended) and getting a little light exercise regularly. Sorry but I hate these fad diets.
The best advice for SMS 2FA I've seen was what was given to YouTuber boogie2988 by his attacker after he was hacked the same way - use a separate prepaid phone number that you never make public.
Do you have any friends with babies? Because babies can get sick from diseases before they can be vaccinated. If your kid gets measles or whatever and gives it to an unvaccinated baby, your "caution" is not going to be any comfort to the baby's parents.

Similarly, immune-compromised people who might not be able to get vaccinated or, if they are, are vulnerable anyway.

Vaccination isn't just for you, it's for everyone around you.

Ah well I guess I'm off on the VST thing - hadn't been available at the time, still late XP early Win7 at the latest maybe?

Honestly though using the guitar approach that I was favoring, even having native audio drivers wasn't my ideal "sound chain" approach - personally speaking - so I was pretty much destined to use an outside interface for modeling and whatnot, among other approaches. I wasn't an "out of the box" kind of person but understand why Mac has that particular advantage, but for my not-genuinely-pro under-the-hood level I could still tell PC had equal footing to do powerful things that are more defined by the skill of the user than the inherent capabilities or quality of the platform. Basically a wash, thus not really a Mac advantage except in a kind of narrow defined view, a good one though.

Not only that, but the whole interview seemed to be from bizarre-o world. A mix of awesome and WTF. Five minutes after sending an email to jobs@ you get asked to "hop on Skype"? Wow, that's pretty great. With most companies you're lucky if you even get an automated "We got your Email" message after 5 minutes.

Then it's "do two presentations by tomorrow". (I guess they assumed he had no plans for the evening). Then after what sounded like typical tech interview hazing, it only took 4 days for the company to decide? Wow!

I am not a math genius, but I spent a few minutes thinking about the locker problem.

It seems to me that:

1) Every locker essentially is open (let's say "1"), and it will switch to the other binary state ("0" from 1, or 1 from 0) a number of times.

2) The number of switches is based on number of factors that comprise that number, minus one. E.g. position 1 = zero switches. Position 2 = one switch. Position 3 = one switch. Position 4 = two switches. Position 5 = one switch. Position 6 = three switches. And so on.

Am I correct?

In case, the final result is something like: 100100001000000... Which is essentially 1 + a number of zeros equal to two, then four, then six, then eight, etc.

Edit: I've now continued reading the article and, well, the solution is down there. In a way, it seems I was correct.
Aside: do you see enormous latency on calls w/RP?
I've actually built out a concept to address this: https://github.com/infogulch/inject

Call `di := inject.New(db, logger, tmpl, ...)` then you can call `di.Inject(myfunction)` which just calls the function with the values passed to New and returns the result.

"YAWN"

Here's the key: `myfunction` shouldn't just execute, it should return a closure over the injected values that can be called later. E.g.

func home(t *template.Template, db *sql.DB) http.HandlerFunc {
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
var tm string
db.QueryRow(`select datetime('now')`).Scan(&tm)
t.ExecuteTemplate(w, "home.html", tm)
}
}

Now with `fn := di.Inject(home)`, fn is a plain old http.HandlerFunc, it has access to its' dependencies (and just those dependencies) without global state, and there is no reflection in the hot path.

Of course, you could use this technique manually: `fn := home(tmpl, db)` but inject can be integrated with your framework and you don't have to make any changes to code. It's also designed to not require the framework to depend on the reflect package, it can just define and accept the Inject interface.
I think I might not be conveying my point very well. Let me clarify this as succinctly as I can.

Usability doesn't just mean things users want to do. Usability means things anyone (users, developers) can do. By definition, "securing" things means limiting the capability of certain users or developers to do (hopefully) specific things. How efficient you are at this determines whether or not you'll also reduce the capability users or developers want to have when you reduce the capabilities they don't want to have.

To give a concrete example: using a cryptographic algorithm immediately impacts usability along performance and capability axes. Previously, you could arbitrarily read and manipulate that data because it was plaintext. Afterwards, you could not. Now you need to be careful about handling that data and spend developer time and resources implementing and maintaining the overhead that protects that data and reduces its direct usability.

It doesn't matter if you wanted that capability - it's gone either way. That was a trade-off, and it is an easy decision to make, but not all decisions are easy to make. Every security decision can be modeled as a trade-off.

That's very impressive. I'd have thought bandwidth costs alone would be high, but thinking about it a bit more I suspect map tiles cache incredibly well even without any special tricks, since most tile requests will be from locals hitting the same few ISP caches.

I recall reading about a scheme that puts a different 1x1 tracking pixel for every CSS pixel breakpoint, and then uses that as a piece of info in the fingerprint.

Helm is another great option here.

Helm uses Go templates. You define your variables in a top level values.yaml, and then install the chart to your cluster. The variables get expanded on chart install.

If certain crazed bureaucracies have their way, it may become burdensome to benefit from ketosis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_tax#Denmark

When I experimented with keto, two products were essential to my ability to do so; coconut oil and butter. It infuriates me that some in positions of influence and power (but not of productivity!) would dare usurp people's dietary choices based on the careless assumption that saturated fat is bad. Although such propositions have so far been unsuccessful, I doubt the mischief has ended. Where is the Charlton Heston of fat!?

We run a distributed network of PoPs in the cloud and get easily many times this, as well as massive ssh brute force attempts and other more bizarre forms of scan/attack.

I might as well plug in something I wrote to solve this problem in a different way. Warning: the project is undocumented, and require knowledge of Ruby. Obviously, if you don't like Ruby or like reading code, this will not work for you.

https://github.com/matsuri-rb/matsuri

Matsuri is built on the idea that K8S is a building block for higher-level tools.

The gist is that rather than trying to template and substitute values, it uses Ruby class inheritance and mixins to construct the manifest being sent up to Kubernetes. Each key-value in the manifest schema is broken down into smaller, composable chunks. A single method `spec` composes it all together at the top.

To customize, you use Ruby method overrides to override part or all of the methods used to generate specifications. This also allows you to mixin modules that partially override methods describing the manifest. This allows the YAML or JSON manifest to be programmatically constructed with a Turing-complete language rather than templated.

The result is a single tool that allows you to describe pods (and services, etc.) that may require different things yet share some common functionality. For example, dev pods need to mount the source tree from the host and doesn't need secrets, doesn't need replication; staging and production might require volume mounts elsewhere and require secrets; staging might use a replication of n=1 while prod might be using replication n > 1; prod might have affinity, anti-affinity, and make use of node labelling while dev and staging do not.

Matsuri also has an abstraction that groups collections of pods, services, and other K8S resources together into an "app". It also has standard hooks for common operations, such as attaching to containers, getting logs, etc.

I have not updated Matsuri since around Feb of 2016, when I left the project this was extracted from. Sometime in the next six months or so, I'll be updating it again when I get my team's current project onto GCP.

Keto isn't a fad diet at all, if a fad diet is one that you do for a while to drop weight quickly.

I've been on Keto for about two years now, and plan to eat this way for the rest of my life. I've gone from 235 to 180. Going from 245 to 235 took forever on a "normal" low fat diet.

You're looking at this logically and rationally. That's not how PR works and I believe this is poor PR because it sounds fake, generic, and uninspiring. So they basically would have been in the same position had they said nothing at all.

Which IMO greatly reflects Yahoo these days, they are simply maintaining the status quo. And that status quo is pure mediocrity from which they haven't shown any aptitude at reforming.

Poverty is certainly relative, depending on the cost of living where you live and your own circumstances. 20K is about half the minimum wage in Australia, but it'd be a lot in some Asian countries. Rural US is going to be cheaper than NYC & SF, and so on.

The design app "Sketch" has an even poorer name, and they have done very well for themselves. I don't know how long it took, but they are my #1 result for the Google search keyword sketch.

Also, I believe at this point in time, doesn't everyone have slightly different Google results? Google tracks users for this reason, among others: to give them more relevant search results. For instance, when I google the word figma I get this design application as my #1 result [0]. I assume your tastes and browsing habits have informed Google that you are more likely looking for action figures rather than design software.

I'd guess the staff work in Central London, but don't necessarily live there.

If some percentage move closer to the offices, that might not be a bad plan for them - although not so good for those further north.

The Northern Line is the reason I not only left London, but vowed never to have another job with a daily commute. So I certainly wouldn't wish it on anyone.
The unfortunate and dangerous thing here is that nobody really has an incentive to fix this. The Internet doesn't belong to anyone.

This really needs to be fixed at the national or international (IANA?) level by mandating the deployment of anti-DDOS source quench and anti-spoofing measures. Any owner of an IP block should be able to register a key and then send source quench messages and this needs to be deployed uniformly.

But I'm not holding my breath. It's like herding cats, and as a general rule nobody anywhere cares about security unless their house is on fire (and then they go back to not caring after the fire is out).

Another thing that needs to be done is to cut off support for this activity. It needs to be made illegal to pay ransom for DDOS or ransomware for that matter. If you get ransomwared or DDOSed that sucks, but that doesn't mean you should be allowed to reward the behavior and finance it being done to others.

The jading goes much deeper than 12 hour days and "culture", in my opinion.

It's "easy" to get stuff done if you have no strong feeling of responsibility for the longevity of the things you're working on, or if you've never experienced the pain that comes with this lack of planning/implementation. The first 90% is easy, but the last 10% is what makes things stable, performant, maintainable, deployable and secure (not advocating for doing this last; just saying it's easy to ignore).

It's also easy to be excited about things when you['re naïve enough to] expect them to work "properly". People who've been doing this for a long time recognize that it's really rare that software Just Works™, and for that reason, things need to be architected to make room for failure. Building things without an acceptable failure mode is super fun until it fails, and then it's even worse than not doing it in the first place.

Doing stuff right takes a long time and is hard. It's truly satisfying to nail it, but it's certainly not always fun/exciting.
