>My machine has been pwned due to browser vulnerabilities exactly zero times

I've been shot exactly zero times, so nobody needs to worry about being shot.
Definitely recommended. It's the best course available in a 3 month format.
I definitely feel like a slave. I have very little freedom of thought (I'm always thinking about work), very little freedom of speech (the range of topics that I can discuss while at work is very limited). No means of making a difference; all software companies these days are huge corporations that treat you like a number - They don't even bother looking at your past work to understand your potential; they just care about labels. Also, there are no means of escape; I can't even start my own business in this industry unless I win the VC lottery (and I've tried).

Software workers are among lowest class of people in society. Those few engineers who happen to have any business leverage tend to be the most compliant ones and don't use that leverage for the benefit of their own kind; instead they are fully subservient to their corporate masters.

The corporates made sure that only the most docile engineers rose to the top. The problem is that as engineers we spend too much time working on our IQ and not enough on our EQ (which is unlike most other professions where some degree of hustling and social scheming is the norm) - As a result, others take advantage of us.

As I'm writing this, I understand that there will be repercussions some day for making inflammatory comments like this online. As big data get more effective, this comment will probably come up next to my profile picture somewhere with a big red cross next to it.

Nonetheless, I feel compelled to write this because this point of view needs to be expressed more often even if it sounds a bit extreme.
Presumably people were doing roughly the scientific method long before anyone popularized some formulation of the scientific method. Heck, animals (probably even plants) do "trial and error" which I would argue is a very basic form of scientific inquiry. In the context of this thought experiment, I think we're supposed to assume that humans are still capable of rational problem-solving, and the sentence we choose to pass on is a more specific piece of knowledge. After all, we're clearly assuming that some basics (like the ability to understand the sentence) are maintained.
What’s the expected use case for this?
Yeah, and when after 6 moths your startup doesn't work, no one wanted to invest in it and you got some debt to pay, what can you do? You work 9-5 trying to pay off the debt (which is not massive, but needs to be paid), but you failed, and you don't want to take such risks again. You underestimate risk-aversion of common people. Also, when you don't have your own home (owned, not on mortgage), you MUST work to pay for it. How do you get money for it otherwise?

For most people, one failed startup is enough to make them homeless. They don't have enough resources to be safe when their idea doesn't work. Also most of them just don't have viable ideas which can be used to make a good business.
I don't get it. When I launch it it still asks me if I want to sync with gmail. Privacy and google, really?
I agree that the empirical part of economics is hard, but manageable in modern times [1]. However, the real problem is that even the theory has so many flaws, yet it is used as if it was evidence, which is why I think the real problem is 1).

[1] Some very popular multi-player games have a quite advanced economy, where the individual actions of each participant are recorded and can be analyzed. While this is not "real", it gives more detailed information about human economic interaction than all the mass surveillance in the "real word" right now. Also, the game developers have god-like powers in the virtual world, so they can run controlled experiments,. As far as I know, they already do so. And and if something goes really wrong, they still have the ultima ratio to reset everything to the state of a few hours or days ago. Or, they can re-interpret the last actions of the players in a more appropriate way. That may still make some players unhappy, but won't crash a real economy.
I am trying to provide context regarding the whole problem. Besides, the guy I talked about uses heavy technology whenever he can (he needs special equipment to take macro pictures of bugs, he needs social interaction with other people in local vicinity spotting larvae of a pest, he needs way to statistically test land lots, he needs ways to measure sun exposition and time, etc.) ; the last thing he needs is robots doing his job though.

And every question is as loaded with philosophy as any of its answers. :)

I think you could have a transferable storage unit for people who need it, especially if the cars were specially built. So once you get out, the car goes somewhere (probably nearby) and drops off your stuff, and then the next car picks it up again. It would probably be more expensive, but potentially still worth it compared to storing the whole car for people who need that capability.

That said, I don't think self-driving taxis will completely replace car ownership, at least in the medium term.

The thing with Hong Kong is a bit more complicated. Although there has been kidnappings of booksellers who were selling critical books and magazines about the CCP leaderchip, in general you can say whatever you want. You can demonstrate for an independent Hong Kong and won't land in jail. Also a bunch of other stuff can be considered more 'free'. Prostitution is legal etc.
In the end HK is not really China.

Anyway, I am sure the internet access here in HK is also monitored, but my guess its about the same as the US (so everything).
I've been a happy customer for years. The contact is info@rsync.net - it's on the pricing page. I've emailed support a few times and they answer very promptly.

Rsync.net has been around forever - like 15 years. They predate the concept of 'cloud'. They were the first to use a 'warrant canary', in 2006. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary)

Nope, look at the videos. I try to give as much background information as possible within 3h.

He's pointing out flaws underlying the question. Definitely relevant.
I think you're right. I think that _is_ a more important concept.

Why?

Because it does many things at once.

1) Establishes natural biological causes for the transmission of diseases, thereby supplanting all sorts of other theories like hex-casting, bad omens, malevolent deities, and so on and so on

2) It says that there are things that can't be seen with the naked eye that share our biology, which opens the door to atomism anyway

3) It says that biology shares a common substrate which is a useful concept in itself

4) And practically speaking, if the information that microorganisms are disease vectors is coupled with the knowledge that certain routines such as cleaning and washing prevent said transmission and that other substances act as anti-bacterial agents then human and animal welfare is promoted and suffering is reduced allowing for more rapid societal progress

Therefore, I agree with you.
Like I said, without experience in the games industry.

That is not how professional game developers see it, attending a few GDC would help to understand this.

Or if you don't want to pay for a ticket, there are plenty of talks available for free at GDC Vault.

I never got into high performance scientific computing, but I believe the stuff that was done in my department at university was all MPI based and required very high interconnect speeds (like with Infiniband). It looks like your offering is much more standard, what's the thinking there, or am I just wrong/out of date?

But the client (Cisco software) does the encryption does it not? Therefore it has access to the unencrypted data, therefore can do what it likes with it.

So my comment (weak as it is) stands.

The same amount as a Netflix HD subscription more or less. Download speed can even be a bit lower than streaming rate, and the connection does not have to be as reliable, so it should be cheaper to provide.

I'd guess simple costs. Tesla is actually pushing $ / MWh the hardest. They aren't high cost and high quality, they are low cost high quality. At least, that's what I gather from reading Musk's biography.
PyCharm mostly brings IDE features to the table: context-dependent auto completion, far better navigation, static analysis ("that thing doesn't seem to have this method"), refactoring (for Python mostly moving and renaming; the refactoring engine of IDEA for Java is probably the most advanced on this planet... it's ridiculously good).

Also, being built on the IDEA platform PyCharm has superb support for language injections, eg. CSS in HTML in a template language is not a problem and handled correctly (highlighting, completion, annotation etc.).

Another advantage is that the IDEA IDEs are all very similar in general usage, so if one is also working with another IDEA IDE (for me that's mainly Java and CLion) then no time learning a whole different set of shortcuts or something like that is lost.

I couldn't replace a shell with an IDE, but they do have tasks and stuff like that, might be good enough.

Regarding database, when you're using the ORM it does matter far less for development; I almost always just use SQLite. Some projects do require advanced features of postgres, and would not work with SQLite. In those cases I just start a postgres instance ad-hoc.
Dropbox doesn't have completing, fixed interval backups and has fairly buggy, heavy, intrusive software (on linux). Google/Microsoft's services don't have differential backups and their software is generally lacking.

Rsync.net promises exactly what I want, but at 6/gb ($60/mo for 1 tb) it's 5x more expensive than Dropbox so I'm manually hacking around Dropbox's offering for the moment.
It's hard to know where it's going and concurrently learn the right pieces of that thing in the right time to not be late or early to the party...

So, learn the thing you can either learn the deepest or the fastest, or both... because nothing helps learning stick than being fascinated or having fun with it.

Sometimes you can learn on the side and sometimes it's healthy to bite off just a little more than you can chew if you are determined and learn some parts of it in real time.

Personally I think go, swift, javascript/react are going to be around for awhile and see many new projects in these. But I think this is on a rolling cycle; every 5 years seems like so many changes. Just seems like yesterday that rails was the coolest thing since sliced bread. Then there is java which just is everywhere. Rust is also very interesting, and seems to have a great community, job wise not many in comparison to either rails or js.

Finally however elixir seems cool. And slightly railsy. That might be next on my list.
Seems to be around 6 times more expensive than S3 for my usage (<1TB, EU Standard - Infrequent Access is $0.0125/GB vs $0.08/GB).

Of course, you can’t rsync to S3 so I’m handling backups with duplicity and using S3 as the storage target.
I think you missed the point of the post entirely.

You talk about technological problems, which, while formidable, are not insurmountable. Surely they are hard but at least we have a direction of attack (as opposed to say teleportation or time travel or AGI, where we don't even know where to start). Just as in the case of Go, the performance of artificial systems will at first be borderline acceptable, then it will be on par with strong amateurs, and then it will surpass performance levels of the best of humans.

The post in contrast talks about social problems and shows how they will cause much strife and friction and will delay the adoption of driverless vehicles even after all technological problems are solved.

Hi there, enthusiastic and regular Transferwise user here.

I think the answer is that while Transferwise is a great product, Western Union serves a niche that Transferwise/PayPal/Web Startups aren't fulfilling. That is anyone even with low income can just go into a store and use it. No need for a bank account, a PC (even basic computer knowledge is not required which may hinder older people) or the internet.
What is it you're saying?

> Whose experience in the industry says that lock-in is good for development?

Lock-in is only in the heads of FOSS advocates, not in the game developers that want to squeeze the hardware to the limits of what it can do, while selleing the game.

> Sources please.

Go to GDC, IGDA, PAX, Game Development university degrees events close to you and do some networking talking with actual professional game developers, what is their opinion about graphical APIs.

Attend their talks about graphic APIs.

Read articles on magazines like Gamasutra, EDGE, Game Connections, Making Games about graphic APIs and the industry view on them.
The reasons for the fork are explained in details there:
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/43#issuec...

It is rather worrying that they mention "keypasshttp" as being one of the pull request which was never merged, although it is all about functionality and not security, just to point out a few months after in another issue that users should stop using this plugin because of a vulnerability:
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/147#issue...

I don't really know how secure KeepassX is, but this fork doesn't look like it is any more secure, at least for the time being.
"Software workers are among lowest class of people in society"

That might depend on where you are, but in my experience it seems like one of the more solidly middle-class professions around. Doctors and lawyers (if employed) enjoy more prestige, but cleaners, salespeople, etc. appear to enjoy less. Do you have a source re: lowest class?

Note that I refer to prestige and societal reputation, rather than remuneration.
Conversely, the scientific method has no human warmth to it. It doesn't give us much of a mechanism to build better societies given our human flaws. As an example: take the death of a loved one. The scientific method tells us "shit happens for no reason". The golden rule tells us to comfort our companion. Truth is a fine thing, but there are things in our experience that aren't limited to simple veracity of facts.

And just like there are people out there who disagree on what the golden rule means, so too are there people who disagree on the scientific method - I've lost count of the number of times that I've had to say here on HN that the scientific method extends beyond 'test the null hypothesis'.

> it justifies anything and nothing, depending on what attributes of the other person you choose to imagine yourself having.

Only if you apply it in a flawed or superficial manner. Heuving's example of "I'd like someone to punch me in the face" is a clear example of this. The scientific method has equally poor results if you apply it in a flawed or superficial manner.

In any case, regardless of opinion on which is better, they're both far more important to us as humans than atomic theory :)
> And iOS offers no way to prevent an app using the internet

You can disable an app's ability to connect via mobile data in Settings, though that doesn't solve the issue for using the app + wifi.
> Attend their talks about graphic APIs.

Again, please show me any talk which says, that developers benefit from the need to address vendor lock-in which forces them to support multiple APIs instead of having an option of good cross platform ones. I doubt you can show any such talk.

> Lock-in is only in the heads of FOSS advocates

Oh, now you are trying to deny that lock-in exists? Then read about it from those who actually push it on developers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft#Vendor_...

But I suppose you'll say that it's all imaginary. In such case further discussion is pointless. Figure out, does it exist and you support it, or you think it doesn't exist and you actually don't.

Using the term rammed through feels like a stretch given the description.

The bills were negotiated for over a year, and liberal features like the public option and coverage for abortion were removed due to Republican and independent opposition. The bill ultimately received a Supermajority in the Senate and a majority in the house in regular voting, and not through reconciliation. The Republicans are unlikely to pass the repeal through the senate with anything close to the same numbers.

You allude to the origination clause below, but that argument was rejected by the courts, and the Supreme Court declined to hear it. The first version of the bill was also introduced in the House, as was the original revenue bill that the senate bill was built onto.
> Given current ransomware trends, that seems like setting up a bunker but crossing a highway on foot daily. Sure, the nukes won't get you, but those cars will.

I haven't updated Chrome in quite a while. My computer's been running just fine. I'm pretty sure I would've died if I'd tried to cross highways as you mentioned all this time. So I think something about the comparison doesn't smell right.
>On the other hand, having an "on demand" car service as my only option would increase my transportation costs.

I don't think anyone is suggesting it would be your only option, simply that most people would prefer it because it will be cheaper (since you're amortising the overheads of car ownership over many users).

And while owning a car might feel prudent, if taxis become cheap enough, it might not be the best investment for your money anymore.
I've been using pass for a year or two. It works fairly well and the built in git for syncing/history is nice.

However the lack of a good mobile client is starting to nag me. There are ones that sort of work but appear to be quite clunky.

I'm looking seriously at Enpass[1] as an alternative since it has good multi-platform support (I use desktop Linux, Windows and Mac plus Android).

Wouldn't the attacker need to be authenticated as the user of the real device for this to work?
In general I agree. My only current exception is that I use Brave[1] instead of Chrome on Android, because Chrome is missing adblocking. It appears that the company behind Brave is large enough to keep the fork somewhat up to date (compared with several other forks that are only updated very infrequently).

Also not only security updates are an issue. Some of the previous forks have been maintained by people who hardly had any idea of what they were doing. Interesting blog post about the Iron fork: http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2009/12/iron.ht...
