In my vision of the future, most devices will not have a default gateway.

Instead, everything will be forced through application layer proxy servers which inspect the traffic and decide whether to let it pass. This would include domain whitelisting, as you mentioned, content filtering and inspection, and/or anything else the {company,"protection service",user} wanted to add.

I have no doubt that eventually, someday, we will live in a world where our electronic devices default to deny.

Haskell and its advocates talk a big, big game about its supposed strengths in these areas, but there are suspiciously few examples of these strengths actually manifesting in anything but toy or academic projects. I've been hearing about Haskell's supposed miracles for years and years, and I've never, never seen them.
I'm not sure they vision you're describing is the direction private equity would take it, but with the major tech buyers shying away it does seem like a private exit is the most likely way this ends.

When institutions die, they take some of our memories with them. Without any cues to recall the old memory, it becomes a sort of neural dark matter that lingers within us but can never be accessed. Because people strongly tie their identities to their memories, in a way we lose a part of ourselves. Old friends and family can help here, providing throwbacks that revive memories on the brink.
In the tech industry it seems like growth (or perceived growth potential) is the only thing that matters, profitability far less so (Amazon for example). Growth is what makes stock go up, so investors want to see growth every single quarter or they bail. If a tech company doesn't show growth, its stock doesn't stand still- it'll drop, maybe significantly. For publicly traded companies, executives can be replaced by the board if they don't deliver, and the board is supposed to represent the shareholders' interests (which for the tech industry means maintaining growth to keep the stock from tanking). It's a pretty messed up antipattern in the business environment IMO. The alternative is staying private, and perhaps limiting (or doing without) external investment.
That's the nature of capitalism. If one company is growing faster than another, relative to the cost of their shares, the capital will move to the company that is growing faster until the price has adjusted.
But if they IPO, then the early investors already got their money back. And startups get acquired all the time, also putting an end to investors' growth.
A bug in this simulator is that new settings apply only to newly-launched cars, incrasing the chaos as you explore a range of options. Increased speed shows an exaggerated immediate increase in crashes, decreased speed causes an exaggerated decrease in crashes, and so on.

The sensible conclusion here is that human drivers could be banned in order to safely minimize travel times (much faster reaction times, lower variance in speed).

I've worked on a service that did something like this, except everything was passed through a middleman who was managing a bunch of live-reloading Groovy code where the actual business logic was stored. Would this have been a better approach? Maybe! But at the very least its an interesting idea and even if interesting ideas fail they might serve to inspire something new. I don't see a reason to be openly hostile just because it's a "DSL".

Because your competitor can raise those million dollars, and eventually your 20k profit per month becomes 20k loss per month.

You can build all your imaginary arguments about magical businesses that make 20k profit per month while being self-sustained with holocracy, cruelty free, authentic, organic etc. etc. But the reality is that doing big things at bigger scale requires huge capital. If you are willing to pass up on it, someone else will take it and gladly outspend / outmaneuver your. You will watch as your paid product will lose to a freemium one, and as you will write "our incredible journey blogpost", commenters here will mock you for selling out / giving up.

Great question! Perhaps tech related to mp3 compression and miniaturizing storage. I can't name any specific contributors, however.

While thinking about this it made me feel like that is an example of a powerful force of history - "to the victor goes the spoils." There was a lot of tech foundation innovated by competitors in related products that made the iPod possible but since the iPod was the breakout success of the era it's all some of us can remember.

Nice hacks. Just wanted to comment that the free version of JuiceSSH is crippled. I forget in what way but I tried it out a while back because I wanted to test out mosh support and ended up deleting it because of the crippling.

Now I'm happily back with ConnectBot (I didn't really need mosh support anyway), although I do see that screen status bar update screen scrolling thing happen from time to time, never worked out why or how to fix it, but it goes away if I start a new session.

It wasn't the first I'm sure, but I had a Creative Nomad MuVo. It was basically a flash drive, but with an audio out. It was super compact and powered by a AAA battery.

I hope that's just a "give us time to ease people into it" step. Most private-use-only CAs don't have the infrastructure for CT yet, so requiring it right away would cause a problem. But eventually it needs to happen, and all CAs any browser trusts need to require CT.

Sure, but what if you're building a serverless framework or other multi-tenant system and the goal is for an external developer to not write backend code? You need a compact way to represent and evaluate authentication and authorization, maintain schema or referential integrity, or do simple business logic checks.
No, the point is that installing software by either downloading and executing shell scripts or piping shell scripts directly to the shell is a wildly bad idea.

And the ancillary point is that piping directly to the shell is worse, because it allows an attacker to exploit any false sense of security a user might have from having looked at the downloaded version of the script (whether that's that user specifically or someone else who did so and vouches for it).

The correct thing to do is distribute via cryptographically signed archives or packages, or via signed git tags.

Again, just say no to curl|sh, and also just say no to downloading and executing unverified shell scripts.

Really, what are you arguing for here? Security is a process that involves layers, and you seem to be advocating for tossing all the layers aside because layer A doesn't protect against attack method B.

MP3, definitely; that's a great pick. But do you really think using a hard drive instead of flash memory was a huge innovative leap? They didn't invent the hard drive. Both forms of storage existed at the time, and anyone could have picked one over the other.

And what should also concern people about this is that our entire issuance of money as debt demands constant growth ahead of interest rates. Or you can have a time where you continually cut rates, print and call it growth, until you get to zero and it all falls apart.

spy.org. Nothing there. Never has been since the 90s. It's intriguing.
What? I feel like you're not thinking about this very carefully. Someone might look at the downloaded script and verify that it is harmless. Then they might run it. Then later they might go to another system they want to install it on, and they might think, "Well, I looked at it a few minutes ago, and it was fine, so now I'll just pipe it to the shell like the web site says to do." Or they might recommend the software to someone else, and they might say, "Hey by the way, I verified that the install script is safe, so you can pipe it straight to a shell like the site says."

> However, the point is that if you can't trust the publisher it doesn't make any difference what the installation procedure is.

That's not correct. A MitM attack is a risk even if the publisher is trustworthy.

This is not complicated--in theory, at least: only distribute cryptographically signed software. Anything else leaves you vulnerable to many attack vectors. And anyone who instructs users to pipe to a shell is irresponsible and encouraging Worst Practices.
Problem I had with them was regarding managing payment methods. I work on different projects for different clients and I use their respective credit card to pay freelancer. Therefore, I added multiple card cards to my account. Only to know, they don't give an option which card to use when hiring a freelancer. I talked to their customer service letting them know it charged the wrong card and did not give me an option to choose a card.

Also, I asked them to revert the transaction and charge the right card or else I (on behalf of my client) will have to file a dispute.

Their response was, I cannot file dispute because that is against their terms and conditions. If I do, then they will terminate my account. Additionally, the option to add multiple cards is for backup. In case if first card doesn't work they can charge the second card.

To use different cards for different clients, I will have to create a separate "team" even though only one person is managing all the projects.

At the end they said, create a new "team" and talk to the freelancer if he is OK to cancel the order and resubmit it from the new "team".
The freelancer was hesitant but he agreed. Since all my instructions/messages were in default "team" account, I continued and decided to cancel it at the end of the project. At the end, the freelancer didn't feel comfortable therefore he refused to cancel the job and I ended up paying him from wrong client's card.

I ended up having one client write a check to pay the other.

What a mess....

Firebase uses rules like this for authN/Z checks, schema validation, and enforcing business logic. One of our DSLs is JSON based (https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/security/), while the other is more custom (https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/security/). Our console basically just uses text editors (sign up for free to check it out, as I can't find a good pic: https://console.firebase.google.com), though we've considered tools like Blockly (https://developers.google.com/blockly/) for a more visual representation.

>And while this was a sample of one it really opened my eyes to sense of entitlement that comes with growing up in a wealthy vs poor enviroment.

In the UK, the primary selling points of the Public School system (i.e. private schools priced far out of the reach of most of the population) are three things - social confidence, entitlement and a sense of superiority, and networking.

Conversely, the primary products of the state educational system are low confidence, low expectations, and exclusion from social capital.

It's a perfectly rigid and self-sustaining caste system. Of course a few individuals break out of it, but the social and economic effect is deadening.

Although wealth and opportunity aren't fairly distributed, there's a more subtly destructive effect on the rich. I've known people who grew up with huge privilege, and some of them have been very successful, because all that education and opportunity allowed them to explore and develop their talents.

But I've known others who have been crushed by their backgrounds. They can appear successful outwardly, but in fact they've never developed an independent sense of themselves outside of their families and their wealth.

This usually happens in families that are externally wealthy but emotionally austere or even neglectful. It's a particularly toxic combination socially because these people can end up having wealth, influence, and power, but their emotions and humanity are stunted and crippled.

Wealth inequalities can cover up these deeper issues of neglect and sometimes outright abuse. And if these people become politically influential, they tend to repeat their abuse on a much wider and more destructive scale.
It might not be, but it's easy to understand why a casual observer would think so. The latest news on the dosbox website is from 2013, and the latest version (0.74) was released in 2010 according to the date on the sourceforge download page.

I wonder why they have not made another official release?
