In the month we trailed it we found there were so many internal networking and performance problems. I went with with a suspiciously optimistic attitude as I am experienced systems delivery engineer and I don't find windows especially in the server special at all reverent these years, but I tried to objectify Jude it as a platform. Ill tell you what - it's built to make money for the backers - it's not built out of passion for quality or creativity. The amount of unexplained outages they deny or avoid with low even phone support desks. I would estimate that approximately 90% of the outages we noticed (all platform / service related in the Asia/Pac regions) would never appear on their service status pages. We also have been trialling office365 which runs on the platform. We measured from 2015-2016 we only had 94% availability of service with about a 1-3%/100% margin of error due to monitoring resolution etc.... data corruption, internal CA and NTP problems clearly show from the underlying PaaS, you see things bouncing around a bunch of badly related windows servers barely grasping the idea of modern virtualisation and application abstraction and purely built to make the fat fatter and as I said not out of passion.
The VC model works best for the VCs. Sure, a few entrepreneurs win too, but the model expects way more failures than homeruns. And that's if you get to the place where you're deemed worthy of their capital.

I'm part of that successful bootstrapped crowd (way more than $20k/mo profit). I'm not a billionaire but my lifestyle is pretty amazing. Bootstrapping is a legitimate way to grow a real business.
I think you're talking at cross purposes. I sounds like your main problem is that you knew what to do, but forgot to do it. This is different from knowing what to do, but doing something else instead (an issue I am quite familiar with myself, my sympathies to GP).

Todo list apps work great for remembering what to do, but don't solve GP's problem one bit.

> don't necessarily like legislation that bans people from choosing to do something, but I think there's a decent case for it in countries with publicly funded health care, where tobacco uses costs everyone, and not just the individual who chooses to use it.

Couldn't a government put the taxes on tobacco products into the budget of their public health care, so that those who smoke tobacco products end up using more of their money and overall contributing more to make up for their own costs?
As long as the VCs don't want to invest in a company they can't drive to in an hour or less, that's going to be a problem.
AB InBev annual revenue....$43.6B in 2015.

Savings from autonomous trucks... 0.11% of revenue.

I'm not sure what the margins for InBev's products look like, probably pretty decent, so it's not a low margin business. 0.11% of revenue is pretty good in terms of cutting costs, but I would have thought it would be bigger.
>Procrastination is a psychological problem

Yes it is, but some planning tools can help you to break out of it as long as you don't end up using your planning as procrastination.

I've known a few people that were chronic procrastinators I even had some issues with that myself, I eventually outgrew it by using a bit of additional organization but without "religious" adherence to any method.

For some a more strict method which they follow daily works, for others I've seen it can make things worse they use 2-3 planners/organizers and just spend the time they would normally be wasting on procrastination by procrastinating via planning.
To me the big thing is that even if it had been pulled off beautifully, the HTML5 transition doesn't say anything about the existing corpus of .SWF content. Contrary to seemingly popular belief, it wasn't all streaming video, spinning logos, and mystery meat widgets; people actually made stuff in Flash that was meant to stand on its own, not just be a component of a website. Open source .SWF players exist, but are tremendously under-resourced and have been struggling with compatibility and performance problems for years. Basically, .SWF is the .DOC of interactive animation.

The union is to protect workers wages and rights (they won during agreement)

Some of those are scary. Our team runs everything on Azure, for over 2 years now, and I've only seen one outage that lasted maybe 30 minutes. Maybe we're lucky to be running in a good region, or not at some massive scale. Our biggest issues come from figuring out edge cases with new features that aren't well documented yet. That and the cost of using some features like Machine Learning makes it unfeasible for a team company our size. Azure Functions and API Management is sweet though.
Azure isn't ready because it throws errors sometimes? Welcome to the cloud. I only have limited experience with Google Cloud, but AWS has its share of issues like any other piece of software.

With Azure at least MS appears to be attempting some useful error messaging.
I haven't tried many of Azure's more advanced features, but I've found the admin interface to be a pain. The series of UWP/Metro style panels and flat design has been a bit clunky and non-intuitive when I've had to use it.

I don't intend that as a slight against anyone who works on the Azure admin UI. I realize that trying to create an interface to a complex set of services is no easy task.
> You write your base functions, then higher-level functions which use those base functions, and so on. Functions all the way down.

I'm hoping to follow a similar trajectory to you, but with Elixir instead of closure. At the moment though, I tend to do things the other way around: write the top level functions and then fill out the base functions.

So I'd start a module with

def whatever(something), do:
something
|> function1
|> function2
|> function3

Then I'll write function1, 2, and 3 and whatever helper functions they need. And so on until it works. Maybe doing it your way is a better approach: helps you think it through first.

(although I'm aware some would say that tests should come before everything else anyway)

My biggest oh wow moment came from learning Erlang. At first I had trouble adapting to its functional style and punctuation, so I gave up. Later when reading a book about another functional language (Scala) the concepts fell into place. The way Erlang works from a language and platform perspective changed the way I think about constructing both programs and systems as a whole.

Today the learning process is far better and smoother using Elixir and Phoenix. Jump in and give it a try!

The localization one, with all of the languages, is that really a bad thing to do on an error page?

Apple does the same thing in some of their UIs.

If it's a brand new experience (like a user manual, or first logon), or you're in an error state - might you not know the locale of the user, or have failed to load the correct es-MX.json strings file or whatever it's called?
This is interesting in the context of buying and selling domain names. Let's say you pay big $$$ for a fancy .com because you're launching a new product with that name or whatever. The seller could actually possess certificates (or authorizations) that allow them to MITM your fancy expensive domain for up to, what, 3 years. Never really thought of that.

CT logs could prove on the date of purchase that your new domain no longer has any valid certificates in the hands of third parties, but if the third party still holds an authorization, they could sneakily obtain new certificates long after the sale? Or - are authorizations also logged somehow to CT-like logs?

You are probably wrong. Although most Chinese manufacturers do not provide updates, Xiaomi's record has been stellar in this respect.

I love this nostalgia for the good old days. Life in the US during the 1970's sucked hard. Google "general malaise". Line-ups for gasoline, double digit inflation with no economic growth, post-Vietnam. People thought the US' days as a superpower were numbered.
So do you imply that the account key is created from scratch for every new certificate?

Why we were surprised (and we don't say the implementation is necessarily wrong!) is that I can use the account key anywhere. If the genuine user keeps refreshing authz's, it will keep the stolen account key operational as well.

That's my understanding. I may be wrong, but if so, I don't quite yet understand the logic behind authz.
>They don't really suggest that, unless you are counting things like social security and medicare in your calculations.

You must definitely count these programs, especially Social Security, which is effectively a UBI for old people (it is sold as a public pension plan that you buy into, but there's been much analysis that debunks this. Social Security is: 1) A tax program and 2) a welfare program that is vaguely and in some circumstances somewhat based on how much of the tax you payed.)

>In a society where everyone is given a basic income of 20k, then wages will have to rise to incentivize people to do any kind of work at all. What this means is that we can do away with the minimum wage, and allow wages to float freely in response to supply and demand. The market rate will always be a 'living wage' because people simply won't work for it if it's not.

The market rate for wages will not be a living wage. For unskilled labor, I could see it being as little as a quarter of the UBI. Most certainly not enough for a low-skill worker to sustain themselves without a UBI.

I actually agree that it would be a good thing to stop taking low-skill immigrants, given our surplus of low-skill labor. Why are people so adamant about keeping the southern border open then?

>That is a nice story, but if it were true, it'd suggest that the richest people, who presumably have more free time also have more kids. But, they do not [2]. Now, this chart doesn't break it down beyond >200k a year, but what you see is a very steady decline.

Your data proves nothing of the sort. 200k a year for a household is not "rich", they would certainly not call themselves rich.

That's why I said that it narrowed the exploit and what I meant by "[staging] very quickly". It's a more narrow window, and the other objections (like prompting non-2fa users for 2fa) still apply.

If a human has to be involved on the attacker side, then this gets tricky, since they only have a short window where the 2fa is valid. If an automated process is trying to log on, then it is possible that CAPTCHAs would either prevent getting a full interactive session (i.e. just a "read email" level of access, as for an app) or block the attack entirely.

‘The Shawshank Redemption’: A Simple but Powerful Message

When I was 11 years old, I intermittently ran a Telegard 2.7 BBS using a 2400bps external hayes modem that I plugged into the electrical outlet. Eventually, I upgraded to a 14.4k internal modem and have bad memories of fighting IRQ jumpers every now and then. I played a lot of doors and eventually was consumed by tele-arena. I enjoyed collecting ANSI art and mod music. Those scenes had some really talented people. The local bbs's were on FIDO net. I vaguely remember posting. I remember going to a couple of BBS picnics and was always the youngest among the crowd, but the people were usually nice. I had friends in real life but had developed an online life with a very different group of people. BBS's gave me access to smart people and more substantial conversation, but also a lot of trolling.

Back then, turbo pascal was a popular language. I knew nothing about programming and found it beyond me to learn it on my own. I tried to find help but failed. I wonder how my life would have changed had I taken up programming at age 12.

Has anyone seen the BBS Documentary? http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/
You appear to be arguing that cars and highways made people less free?
I double checked your last cited claim, and it's indeed correct, e.g.:

"And so it is in this case. If there were a way that the President could have revealed the true strategy for the war to us all without negative consequences, I would agree that he would have had an obligation to do so. But that's not the case; for the government to come out and frankly state that the purpose of this war was to bring about broad political and cultural reforms in the entire Arab/Islamic world would have guaranteed that the war would be much more costly to us, and raise a substantial risk that we would not succeed."

Which he justifies by how much harder it would have been to win the war part of it without starting from the ground on Kuwait.

Which is an utterly bogus calculus.

Although I don't remember it being such a big secret what we were really trying to accomplish, but it's been too long to remember the sequence of events. I also think that this doomed goal was necessary for us to try, if/when we have to implement a nuclear Final Solution to the Muslim Problem (in response to getting nuked, of course, see things like Wretchard's Three Conjectures for more discussion of this terrible calculus).

But for such a terribly difficult and unlikely to succeed endeavor as nation building, for that to be the main goal, to not get buy-in from the nation, was indescribably irresponsible. And helped to ensure its failure, even the middle of "Democracy, Whisky, Sexy" just got spiked in a middle of the night law passed by the Iraqi legislature....

Mozilla has revoked the CA certificate moving forward. Already-issued certificates are unaffected, to allow current customers time to migrate to a more reputable CA. If they were to immediately revoke the current roots, then thousands of sites would suddenly report certificate errors--which would train users to click through them, helping nobody.

The axe Mozilla is holding over WoSign is the threat of immediate full revocation if WoSign is caught doing backdating again. Given that WoSign has been coerced into cooperating with publishing all CSRs via Certificate Transparency, and that there is likely to be a much larger group of people watching carefully for violations, I don't expect it to take very long for future backdated certificates to be caught if WoSign does try it.

There are other high level operations (combinators) with Promises beyond just .then() chains: Promise.all(), Promise.race() out of the box of the spec; others from various libraries. Doing the equivalent with raw callbacks is much more complicated.

The "magic" that Promises bring to code is that they "just look serial" with .then() chains. That's part of the point of Promises and that's part of the infrastructure what powers the ability to write async/await code. Just because it looks nice and serial doesn't mean it is synchronous. (In High Functional speak, Promises are the Continuation monad, and the near isomorphism with synchronous code (especially async/await) is a wonderful product of standardizing the monad.)

Which is to say: tl;dr: Promises spreading like a virus is a feature, not a bug.

Given that Mar's atmosphere masses about 25 terratonnes compared to Earth's 5148 terratonnes, and Mar's atmospheric pressure is about 1% that of Earth's sea level, you'd need to do high altitude testing at about 30 miles up, which is about 5 Mount Everests.

Much simpler to test fire the engines in a lab somewhere to make sure they run, and test the software in a simulation of the landing. It'll probably come out in the next year or so that there was either just a flat error in the code, or that the simulation was incorrect in some way.

I think it's also important to note... you don't need the account key at all if you can re-do the domain verification every time.

In most cases I delete the account key right after verifying the domain and getting a cert, and let certbot generate a new one every time.

We route the '/.well-known/acme-challenge' request to the standalone server (we use haproxy ACLs 'path_beg' to route it to a dedicated port on localhost) so it hasn't been a problem running the validation every time for every new cert.

And per TFA, the timeout for validation on their side (what they call Authz or authorization token) is about the same as the timeout for renewal, so you can't really depend on not needing to validate the domain even with the account key. I'd much rather have the code path be identical every time, rather than different for new cert vs renewal cert, and then also different every other time you renew due to authz expiry.
Interesting that they're sticking with the Note brand. You'd think they'd want to distance themselves from that as people have already associated Note with phones that catch on fire. But perhaps their target market is focused enough that misinformation won't be an issue.
Xiaomi ships weekly updates on the developer ROM and monthly on the stable release. All phones are on current monthly security Android release.

They don't update all phones to newer Android versions, but they do backport MIUI and security patches to older ones. Which is perhaps even better, since older devices don't get bogged down with newer Android releases.
