The US is only weaker if you think a global political monoculture isn't brittle and dangerous. Having the power to maintain the status quo is not the same as strength or safety. Nor is it even optimal for the economy.
I love reddit because I connect with other co-workers in my 4000+ store chain. Get scoops on new stuff and share thoughts too. Very civil.

What other sites exist that could do the same????
A few reasons:

1. We are currently inside the second longest bull market in US history. Markets are cyclical. We are far more likely to be toward the end of the bull market than the beginning.

2. Interest rates have begun to normalize, albeit very slowly.

3. Source rock fracturing and enhanced oil recovery has bought us another 20 years of bumpy plateau. We are squandering this by employing civilization's best minds building Tinder, Uber, Snapchat, etc. The last "great inventions" were the microprocessor and the lithium polymer battery. Every disruption in the last forty years has been variations of ever more hedonistic consumerist enablement, while the clock continues to tick on future energy supply.
Except for an extremely minor purchase (can opener, never again oxo), I've been extremely happy with the recommendations from Wirecutter/Sweethome. Even if you don't end up buying the recommended item (or anything related), you get very detailed article about the pros/cons, manufacturing decisions, etc of a particular product and can apply those in your other searches.

The decision would be made by the new House, whose composition is anyone's guess.

Even assuming the balance doesn't change, the Republicans have a majority of only about 30 seats. Are you willing to bet that 30 representatives can't be flipped, given the...lukewarm support Trump has received from the Republican establishment? I wouldn't be. I mean, not even the Speaker of the House endorses Trump.

In any case, the point is that an Electoral College tie wouldn't mean "chaos". There's a clear procedure for handling it. There are even further backup procedures in case the House is unable to reach a decision.

There should be a carrot and a stick solution with a regulated baseline of security (such as "don't use hardcoded passwords, dummy!").

Carrot: labeling/rating system ("our IoT device is A+ security rated, best in class!")

Stick: Devices found part of a botnet and/or DDoS attack are taken offline permanently until cleaned, and/or recall mandated by the governments.

That ought to be enough to improve IoT devices security by about two orders of magnitude from what it is now.

The nice thing about such regulations is that now manufacturers don't have to race to the bottom on costs by not increasing their devices' security and updating them. Because they could win more sales through good rating systems or they could lose much more money through recalls, being shut off from the Internet, and therefore potentially losing customers permanently, and so on.

I'm a believer in "free markets with good baseline standards" for competition, fairness, consumer protection, etc.

I'm not entirely sure how support for updates should be handled, but I think it should be mandated that until at least 80% of your customers stopped using your product, then you are still liable for updating all of them.

So, for instance, if 30% of your customers still use your "smart fridge" 10 years later, then you should still send security updates to it (within 3 months of bug discovery). If after 12 years, only 19% of your customers still use it, then you can stop updating it.

Even then, I worry that 20% of IoT devices could mean potentially billions of devices 15 years from now. And they could still be used by botnets. But hopefully by then the Internet would also be a lot more resilient to DDoS attacks (perhaps by decentralizing it more) and a couple billion IoT devices embedded everywhere into our cities won't represent that much potential DDoS firepower.

EDIT: Whatever made you think this was "voluntary" of Hangzhou Xiongmai? The FBI and likely the DHS and the NSA were investigating this issue. They probably at the very least felt some pressure from them to do this recall. After all, the U.S. government has often been quite decisive on banning Chinese companies from selling in the U.S. because of "national security reasons", so it doesn't seem unlikely that this company feared the same could happen now, too. From that perspective a recall seems cheap.

There really isn't such a restriction.

I sometimes need containers with several services, and that's perfectly fine if it makes the setup simpler. Services can be dynamically enabled/disabled for instance with daemontools. As a matter of fact, docker brought new life to djb's daemontools for me. This makes it possible to conditionally add even an sshd to my containers (just by mixing in a directory with the run configuration), so I can go into them and check what's going wrong.

And when things need to be hardened up, just drop the corresponding service directory.
We're _very_ directly involved with regulation, and with regulators :-) It's a very important part of our business, so we put a lot of effort into ensuring that we please regulators _and_ that we run our business in the way we want.

I haven't worked for a computer manufacturer for a couple decades now, but back then it was common to require the user to use the stock software when requesting support. If you removed Windows and installed Linux, they wouldn't support it. If anything went wrong, they'd point to your changes and say that they are a possible cause and basically refuse to try to fix it until you un-did those changes.

Likewise, if you hack special software onto the phone, overriding protections that they put in place to prevent it, I could see them refusing to spend time and money trying to fix the phone until you undid those changes first. And I believe some of those changes can't be un-done fully, even if you re-flash a stock firmware.

The net effect is that it effectively voids your warranty.

So no, technically you don't lose your warranty, but you also can't really make use of it, either.

This really only applies to software things, though. Hardware problems, like the battery exploding or the phone just refusing to turn on would still be easy to get covered, since you can't even get far enough to see it's been modified.

But if the GPS stops working or it stops receiving calls, they could blame it on the custom firmware, and they might even be correct.
I agree with your personal experience, and I also dislike such methods. That said, I'm reminded of what I recently read in "Getting to Yes", which commented on underhand tactics. While not recommending them (and refraining from opinionating on morals), the book pointed out some things to consider; particularly:

- whether or not the other side is someone you'll want to maintain a longer-term relationship with

- how use of such methods affects your reputation as a negotiator

/r/undelete has traditionally been very much about free speech.

> Anyone know how well this new psychology stuff is surviving the replication crisis in the humanities?

As a snarky rule of thumb, I'd say the likelihood of a study replicating is inversely proportional to the likelihood of a study showing up in a a TED Talk.

If someone claims that you can make people like you more by handing them hot drinks, or radically change their views on a topic with a brief conversation, I'd be skeptical. However, there still are a lot of people doing solid behavioral work that doesn't make a huge splash in the popular press.
It's definitely concerning, but doesn't an affiliate link business model also have potential conflicts of interest? There's a direct financial incentive to recommend products from sellers with more generous referral programs, as well as a bias toward more expensive products (assuming the kickback is percentage based).

Hopefully the NYT is smart enough to realize that all the value is in the reputation and maintain an open and transparent hands-off editorial policy. Keeping the articles as detailed and comprehensive as they are is also important, but still leaves room for advertiser pressure through omission of viable alternatives while retaining the appearance of objectivity.
> Generally speaking a product company can't thrive off supply chain innovations. The market will move to commodification at some point

To stave off commodification, the said company can pivot into a fashion company where the value is derived from the brand itself. Instead of differentiating by feature, it can differentiate by 'brand value' and encourage repeat-sales by ecnouraging seasonal fashion cycles. "Rose Go^w^wTeal is the color of the season this year. If you don't have a teal device, you're so last year"

> I strongly believe people will be trading privacy for convenience and companies which shamelessly mine the customer data will win.

I do agree there should be a way to trade privacy for services. Some things can be a lot better when they're personalized.

I'd like to see more granularity and control over the transaction, so it's more of a personal data exchange rather than privacy. Right now it seems to be an all-or-nothing proposition. Privacy first means we can have control over what data is shared. You can still choose to share what you want. That makes it much more of a trade. Right now I don't feel like I'm trading. Right now I feel more like I need to actively guard against people reaching into my "privacy" wallet while I happen to be using services they're offering.

Don't get me wrong: I'm using the services they're providing, and they should be getting something in return. Using Gmail as an example, people think of it as "free email". They're not necessarily aware of the nature -- or extent-- of the exchange. I'm certainly not. I have no idea the extent to which Google is using my data. It doesn't even need to be nefarious. All I'm saying is that I'd like the exchange to be more explicit.

So far we haven't figured out ways of making these kinds of exchanges easy. And I'd much rather see these exchanges happen in the market rather than solely rely on regulations to protect privacy.

I'm sure others have varying opinions on this. If you have an alternate take, please share a comment or a link. Thanks!

That's what I tend to wonder about these visionary types - how much of it is really a skill or talent that they have, and how much is just picking the right thing at the right time. If Bill Gates had stayed in charge, would he have forseen how the industry would change and gotten out ahead of it in time, or be blindsided like everybody else? If Steve Jobs was still alive, would he keep churning out industry-changers, or start to flop? Would either of them do something amazing if they had been born 50 years earlier instead?

The issue was less due to /r/FPH getting banned, it was more /r/FPH getting banned WHILE other, overtly racist subs which equal or more impressions (prefer not to state them here), were not getting banned.

It wasn't just a violation of the "free speech" promised by the original founder, but it was a selective "free speech" which indicated to affected individuals that they were offending the management/Admins while arguably even more offensive groups which targeted minorities that were not composed of management/Admin groups received a pass. Indeed, there was some schadenfreude with their wanting the same ill on these other offensive subs out of being selfish, but they did highlight a major inconsistency with Admins.
Interesting read.

It's also a power game, who gets the next number one spot. People want to have their shot at giving direction to such a big ship. So they make friends with the current boss, ensure loyalty by key employees to themselves, gain authority over important projects. Then you cannot just fire them or put someone else in front of them. I think it's also okay, that companies come and go. If you look at it more closely each company is simply a paper and a bank account. The ideas and people who made the disruptions possible will move on to other paper-account combinations and innovate there.

True, but why is that so? Apple wants the high end consumer. Gamers are high end consumers, and yet Apple doesn't sell them high end desktop or laptop machines with gaming capable GPUs. Also no VR/AR gear. This seems like quite a strange omission from their product line.

If there was something dramatically better for every use case (which is not IPFS) it would slowly displace HTTP in new deployments and there would still be HTTP for a very, very long time. The Web we have, in other words, isn't going anywhere.
While at least theoretically possible, I think it fails Occam's Razor. Anyone who has worked in this industry in an even remotely security-sensitive area knows this is currently the state of the art, and preventing this from happening requires a major effort. The default for an organization is to throw together a feature as quickly as possible, develop for engineer convenience (which is the cheapest thing to do), and then throw it out there with no plans to support it in the future unless they can show revenue resulting from that. We don't need to hypothesize a conspiracy to produce that result when it would take a very powerful conspiracy to prevent that from happening.

Now, if you can show me that the same manufacturers make cameras for China's internal use that are fully secured, that would make me change my mind. But based on the occasional "trips to Chinese tech bazaar" reports we see here sometimes, I'd be surprised.

(On a similar note, in my political blog reading I saw a lot of paranoia that the DDoSes last week were somehow motivated by name-your-choice of political actor. However, per what we are discussing right now, we don't need to hypothesize that. It is completely plausible that criminals have come into possession of that much power. The trendlines have been clear for a while; we've been getting DDoSes ~25% larger than the largest one ever recorded about every ~three months for a long time now, and most of them do not seem to be state actors. Just because they're out to get you doesn't mean that it may not be paranoia, to invert a famous quote.)
