I think the idea is each device has its own FQDN, and gets its own certificates. Thus, breaking open your router only gets you "your" private key, they'd all be different. Buying one on eBay might be risky, but if you buy sketchy network hardware on eBay you're at risk in so many ways already...

You can't do this with Let's Encrypt out of the box (unless you make small numbers bespoke devices) because of their Rate Limits. But several commercial public CAs like Comodo would probably be interested in cutting a deal with a big electronics manufacturer or a trade group.
Being from china, eastern europe, south/central america, the middle east or being black. There's also persecution for being a single mom or lgbtq, but that doesn't fall under "rounded up".

I haven't talked to any climate scientists recently, but I suppose living in antarctica for a year gets you on the "maybe losing your job" list.

The "america first" chant on Friday didn't help. Neither did the "for americans" rhetoric.
> Why would it have an effect?

Chilling effect. Just in this thread, you can find 4 people who say they avoid flying to/through the US because of treatment at the border. You can add me to that list as well for the next 4 years. Those decisions don't exist in a vacuum - if you introduce restrictions in one part of the process, people will notice.
That's true, we are displaying yearly averages at the moment, not current temperatures. Will fix this soon :)
This is a tricky topic because a free and creative person is mostly acting spontaneously so he cannot predict where his attention is going next. Go figure.
Same here. I used to cross in Buffalo/Niagara Falls all the time and the Canadians are as polite as can be. The US guards are assholes.
Copy and paste that whole thing into an email (form on their web site) for you Congressional senators (2) and representative (1). It isn't going to get better unless we complain, or the elected are replaced by people who understand this is a problem. The legacy representatives aren't affected by these policies.
Really cool tool. I was thinking about a similar project since a while, you built it, please keep it going!
Small side note, I'm not sure if it's because of the mobile version but I find it would be great to have some more details about the exact way you've found to go there (for example, when it shows the car are transportation way, how does it get this price? Is it oil price or also tolls or shared car or public transport? Didn't see any details about these).
Also，it would be great to have details about which border to cross (if any) and give some visa information according to the nationality - these info are hard to get as always changing, but it could be a real strength of this project if you could give them - as no one else really does it well.
Last cool feature, crossing the data with numbeo or nomadlist to get the cost of life in cities - and similar kind of cool stuff. That would be amazing!
Yes, every site should be. The average user shares their niche acquarium site login username/password with their gmail login and bank and everything else.

In the physical universe we occupy a given user's most security-sensitive site is exactly as vulnerable as their least security-conscious site. It behooves us as professionals to take that fact seriously.
This is so true! I always find that my days are filled up doing trivial things like paperwork, and I genuinely feel exhausted at the end of everyday doing these 'small' tasks. And yet, I constantly get to the end of the week wondering where the week went, because at the end I hadn't really progressed very far with the "big-picture" project!
> TL;DR you think the problem is institutions and authority,

Actually, I explicitly stated that I think the problem is humanity itself. Institutions and authority are one of the few things that keeps behaving well. Whether you are in the urban sprawl of Detroit and the luxurious gated community of Bel Air, if electricity and water are out for more than 2 weeks and there's no authority around (police, security, etc), things are going to get very ugly.
Racism is the name of certain kinds of prejudice, not results. When different races start out in different concrete circumstances and different norms taught by families, different results for them may or may not be caused by people acting on racist opinions.
Thanks for the compliment! :D

The question is if moving to _anything_ more modern is less trivial/costly than keeping the current systems which appear to have many single points of failure/

As with most things, progress isn't clean or easy. Shifts in policy or practice cause disruptions, and then people adjust. The world is a dynamic place.

Software is no exception. SSL libraries will get better if they get used more. The developers will make them better. Or if they can't, we'll find a solution that works.

The question is whether the benefit of the disruption outweighs the cost. Browser-makers decided that their users' needs were best served by this change. Mozilla and Google have been telegraphing their actions in this direction for years. They have attempted to make a responsible and gradual transition, and to a large extent have succeeded.

Every once in awhile though, a break needs to be made and some folks will get left behind until they adapt, or don't.
And now they'll have an extra reminder not to enter a real password in an example field. Seems good to me.
Not by default, only if you do ARP poisoning, which most consumer switches wont guard against.

All you'll see without it is broadcast crap.
Exactly my point. Feed forward can run on much lower specs just fine. So their whole "prison of supercomputers" analogy is for the wrong side of the equation.
I dig it this. If I have $2000 and a 4-day weekend coming up, I want you to email me places that my family can go at a certain budget.

I fly out of HSV most often and it is one of the most expensive airports in the US. It seems most of your estimates for me are off by a factor of 2 or 3.
This really puts the ownership features of Rust in perspective: they are certainly no more involved than what's going on in C++. Harder than Python, yes; excessive compared to Haskell, sure; but here we see what Rust is really comparing itself too. (This is not to say, that it's always what we should be comparing it to.)
Haha yeah we do, although I think every destination is covered even in that case :p

Thanks a lot! :)
It's stuff like this that really puts me off app development.
I didn't say it was :). What alternative do you propose?

...my first job was to do with hiding submarines between hot/cold currents in the ocean for the Royal Navy. The people I worked with were not the sharpest 'knives in the drawer' (whereas the civilian scientists I worked with on other projects most certainly were). There were only so many bits of the ocean that we looked at, I imagine that given the range of the missiles and the likely targets there are only so many places the one active nuclear armed submarine actually goes.

Although I have a passing interest in the UK deterrent that has 'protected me all these years', intellectually I lost interest after learning at an early age that it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. (For starters, me being given any involvement with no skills whatsoever was a sign of such flakiness.)

I know that GCHQ are mostly about reading people's Facebook posts and emails these days, but, they are the 'government communications headquarters' and, compared to the chumps I got burdened with, they are from the drawer with slightly sharper knives. I have no real idea what they are up to in Ascenscion, however, the guys sent out from Gloucestershire were far too far along the Civil Service road to retirement on final salary pension to be 'catering staff'. However, most of those 'submariners' are doing things like catering, polishing boots and all those things that happen to keep things 'ship shaped'. I am sure the brains are in 'the doughnut' (GCHQ) and not in the tin can doing as it is told somewhere beneath the waves.

Although GCHQ people work in a giant doughnut instead of at sea, GCHQ came out of the Royal Navy. It is a vital part of the setup and not this 'email-stalking identity that does ship to shore communications on the side'.

Obviously without photographic evidence of a Russian undersea drone the idea that someone could theoretically follow the Royal Navy's solo operational nuclear armed submarine is pure speculation, but, with secretly muttered gossip from Gloucestershire, articles in the mainstream news and my own appreciation of 'how to hide a submarine', I personally feel that the nucular deterrent is not all it is cracked up to be.
Kellyanne Conway: Trump Administration Used ‘Alternative Facts’
> Otherwise, it's not even anecdata

While it's no comprehensive study, it is very much anecdata, for it's how my parents, parts of my family and plenty of people I know have managed to climb out of poverty of all degrees before there was a welfare system. Hunger and work did not deter them. The word "mutante" (mutant) is often used to describe this kind of people, for how they decide to break the norm despite the environment.

Growing up in a poor/lower middle-class neighborhood I haven't seen this change for the better with the welfare system. But I have seen people quitting their jobs to qualify for welfare.

As I mentioned in another comment, I'm not opposed to a well-designed social safety net for those who can't get back into the workforce nor train themselves to do so, but rest assured, UBI or anything that allows people who are perfectly capable of working, the possibility to leech off the welfare system (read: their fellow citizens) permanently without giving back, is nothing short of a disgrace for society.

> This is just one of those things where if you think you have it licked, you probably don't...there is a high probability you have at the very least some implicit bias..

No, sorry, I reject your ideology and manipulations. Repeating it in a different way, slightly more generally isn't any more convincing.

> Even if you are a perfect angel yourself I think in most if not all moral frameworks you still have a shared responsibility of fighting against racism if you are white.

I don't want to join your club and I do not want to give you legal privilege or power. If you want to improve the quality of life for people, go tutor kids or donate your time or something.

> I'm not sure what your point is here, I think Americans are a lot less racist than most people in Europe but we still have a lot of work to do.

Then why frame it that way? If you go looking for racism everywhere, you're going to find it. It's like a Baader-Meinhof phenomenon for people that really need to be twitter-followed for not having crappy/silly judgments about physical characteristics of people.

> Yes, that is very true. I apologize for forgetting about internalized oppression. Internalized racism is an extremely difficult problem and speaks to how deeply white supremacy pervades much of Western culture and governance.

Wait, what? Non-white people can be racist against white people. Are you trying to troll?
Many Germans said that in 1933. I know because I interviewed my grandparents before they died, and they told me so. They fled to Palestine, but many of their friends stayed behind saying, "It can't possibly get that bad." None of their friends survived.

I keep hearing this, but failing to see it. Since OpenSSL's inception.
There should be an HTTP Header (or a CSP directive) to allow servers to set sites as "Not Secure" manually. That would help a lot of people dealing with phishing attacks on web hosts.

It would function in the same way - if Chrome detects CC/password forms, it labels the site as Not Secure.

>there is no 'programmer' role in the c-suite, but there are chief data scientists. data scientists have the ear of top management, and have direct interaction where that is rarely true with programmers, which leads to...

After working closely with dozens of tech companies, I have to say I've never seen a single "Chief Data Scientist." I also can't say I've even heard of a single company that has one (I'm sure some exist though). I have seen a Chief Technology Officer in virtually every tech company, which is essentially "programmer role in the c-suite" for the purposes of this discussion.

Furthermore, in the companies I've worked with that had in-house data scientists, they always treated them less well than the software engineers developing products.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that your statements don't match my experience, or the experience of anyone I personally know in this industry, and I'd be interested to see where your experience is coming from.
Often I've seen businesses reason that the failures are cheaper than the upgrades.

That metric is often miscalculated as the initial cost is more of a deal than future revenue.

So they stay with antiquated mainframes and DOS interfaces.

Providing jobs for people like myself who can code in PL1, though I'd much rather take a brick to the face than do it again.
When I need to focus on my computer I just go somewhere where I never use my computer for fucking around on social media. It works great, my brain associates places to websites.
It would be nice if you could "auto-export" from Rust. The pieces of the puzzle are something to generate a C API from a module's public API -- without `extern` declarations -- and then something to turn that API into Ruby, Python, Swift, Node, Java, Go, &c.

Clang modules are the beginning of something for the latter task. SWIG also has a lot of ideas that are usable -- and SWIG can handle the API description having classes and methods, since it handles C++. Though I would hesitate to make C++ headers the lingua-franca of code.
> Chilling effect. Just in this thread, you can find 4 people who say they avoid flying to/through the US because of treatment at the border.

The internet is a hyperbolic place. There's nothing saying those people would have come to the US anyway.

With the lack of introspection happening in my political party, you might want to double that estimate.
Thinking that only the "Trump voters" are safe is a kind of thinking that borders on hysteria and is hard to take seriously. Undocumented immigrants are the only people who should have a reasonable concern of being deported.

It's not like other countries don't deport undocumented immigrants either whether leftist or rightist so I don't see how when the US does it it's especially denouceable. [keep in mind, that Obama deported more than W].

I've lived in other countries [China as well as Eastern Europe], and it's not uncommon for regular police to either enforce immigration themselves or cooperate with the immigration office when people overstay their visas or sneak in.
I've got the source code to both the book (in English and French) as well as awk. How? I sent email to bwk that we were trying extend awk to be sort of threaded (think awk scripts as first class so you have awk foo { } awk bar { } and you could do foo | bar). We called it bawk, BitMover's awk.

Anyhow, I asked Brian if we could base it off the one true awk and he tarred up ~bwk/awk and sent it to me.

I love that guy, the culture of the Bell Labs people and the people that worked with them is great.

I've stolen a bunch of awk ideas over the years. BitKeeper (first DSCM) has a programming "language" for digging info out of the repository. For example, this:

http://www.mcvoy.com/lm/bkdocs/dspec-changes-json-v.txt

prints out the repo history as a json stream. One of my guys said that it couldn't be done, heh, it could be :)

Everyone should learn some awk, it's so handy.
Once again, why do we need to store these files "in the cloud"? Why do signals need to go to California so that two people in an Indian village can talk to each other? Email, IRC, the Web, Git, IPFS and many others don't have to work that way. The world of always-on broadband ruined what was a great software ecosystem that didn't assume you were either "online" or "offline", but cared whether one machine was reachable from another machine. Broadband led to centralized platforms like facebook.

Now that the bulk of our most valuable “papers and effects” are online, they are vulnerable to being tracked and searched by the NSA without the agency ever securing a warrant, asking our permission, or leaving a trace.

That can to a great extent be mitigated if there was software for communities to host their own private networks, and only send signals out when necessary. The way the original telephone switching worked.

Communities would be more resilient, too, and could help each other in the event of a disaster. We should decentralize cellphone signals and power generation eventually too.

Our platform is an attempt to make a standard platform for such decentralized social networks: https://qbix.com/platform
That's great :)

Ah that could be, we couldn't test all scenarios but for some destinations we indeed need to fine tune.

Thanks for mentioning, we'll fix that :D

I love flying and getting to experience some of the weird issues that crop up. I was on a flight in December when there was only one ground crew working at my mid-sized airport. I was really hoping to beat the winter storm coming in, as I live pretty far from the airport. If there was a delay, I'd be stuck driving home in a blizzard.

They were prioritizing getting planes to gates based on if the plane was picking up passengers and heading out again. Mine was the last flight of the day for my plane, so we were at the back of the line.

After 30 minutes, we finally had an opening and were moving... until another flight crew reminded the tower that they were reaching their FAA allowed hours and needed to be parked immediately. They took our spot, and then more planes came in that had to leave. Of course I know all of this because our pilot was pissed and would relay all of the info to us with a very sarcastic voice. He was supposed to be home by now too.

We ended up getting into our gate almost two hours after we landed. I normally live 30 minutes from the airport, and it took me another hour and a half to get home with the weather. The only reason we got in when we did is because the weather forced a shutdown of the airport, so we were literally the last flight to get parked at a gate, and only because there were no new flights coming in.

It's fun (after the fact) to think about these edge cases, how to keep the entire airspace running smoothly when one airport only has a single ground crew working, how to maximize efficiency to make sure the fewest number of people are delayed. Sucks to live through it though.
So, I have a couple of questions here -- one for UBI and one for you.

1. You're hoping for UBI so that you can quit the work force and get a PhD, so you're going to (at least temporarily) cease to input money into the system, and start to take money from the system. That seems like effectively twice the cost. Where does that money come from, if you and other people have that same idea? This is the part of UBI I'm struggling to comprehend. There's the idea that you will come out of school "more valuable," but that's speculative vs your current position which is actively adding value (albeit less than what you feel you're worth).

2. Why do you need UBI in order to do this? Are you making no money beyond the absolute minimum you need to live with your current job? Couldn't you potentially save some away and then do the "nights and weekends" sort of school that some people do? To your very last point, you mention having to hope for one of your startups goes big, but could you take a more "steady" / traditional job and make a decent amount of money that way?

Unpopular opinion: this strikes me as exactly a case against UBI. You're taking an active, and perhaps more importantly, tax-contributing member of society, and incentivizing them to stop being one. "Innovation would move quicker" is a great idea, but I don't think it's all that much of a guarantee. It seems likely to me that it would continue near the same pace. But, that's also just speculation / without citation.
I was a bit shocked that the remark about Lynchburg got past the editor or fact-checkers. Lynchburg is named after a man with the last name of Lynch and has nothing to do with "lynching" (murdering) people.

Probably not a bad idea. But at that point you're fighting human nature.
Don't Maserati's also cost a lot of money like Ferrari's? Or can you get them the price of Fiats? Might point is more about what using weaker tech in plants does for them on low end than the high end. I assume Ferrari is a rip off financially supported by their branding.
These articles are just wishful fantasy. Our history has shown that people are perfectly willing and happy to tolerate any form of govt abuse as long as they get their dose of reality tv and 'justifications' from mass media, all you need to do is mention the T word and 'keep America great' and you can do whatever you want.

Even if people cared, which they don't, the govt has zero incentive to actually do anything, because increased surveillance gives them more power and more power to abuse the system.
Nice design, but tool already exists everywhere.

So my question is: how will you differentiate yourself from the other 1000 budget trip planning tool other than a better interface?

Also how will you acquire your users? Travel startups are on of the hardest to acquire users, merely because it's so expensive
