Hey, wanted to reply and drop you a note. I'm a co-founder at Aptible, and we spend a lot of time thinking about how to help developers in your situation.

In terms of general reading, I'd suggest:

--------------

Blogs:

Bruce Schneier [0]

Brian Krebs [1]

--------------

Whitepapers:

- Google's BeyondCorp paper touches on issues that most cloud-first companies will find familiar [2]

- AWS has a few that are good for seeing how a large company communicates the scope of it's security program to customers and potential customers. [3] I'd start with "Introduction to AWS Security Processes" aka "Overview of Security Processes" and "AWS Risk and Compliance".

- Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Reports [4]

--------------

Standards:

- Request your IaaS provider's SOC 2 Type II report

- ISO 27001 is worth buying

- The Cloud Security Alliance's CCM tries to cross-map different frameworks, and is a good reference for a high-level rundown of various security management controls and activities [5]

--------------

In terms of books, conferences, and meetups, I'm sure there is good stuff out there that I'm not aware of because of limitations on my time, sorry.

I hope this is helpful. Good luck! You (or anyone reading) can reach out to me at the email in my profile to chat about any of this.

p.s. Shameless plug: We are launching a product for managing infosec + compliance programs at companies like yours.

True for less than 1% of the population.
I'm talking about the checks like judicial review, which is not being enforced in dulles currently as CBT continues to bar lawyers from visiting with detainees in violation of court order. I am talking about the disregard for Geneva refugee convention the United States was committed to. I am talking about looping in people are supposed to enforce this and having a common sense discussion with them about what it means in practice. None of those are incompatible with the representative democracy we hold. Nothing there requires direct democracy. Those are the things that make this "unilateral"
Depending on how you cooked it, the difference might be subtle enough that only someone familiar with it would notice.

Try eating the tomato raw, like an apple. A good tomato is wonderful with just a sprinkle of salt.

I only started noticing the difference after I grew my own heirloom tomatoes. I was amazed when I ate my first harvest, fresh off the plant. I had never tasted a tomato before in my life! Basic supermarket tomatoes just taste like water.
There is just so much more to discuss on this subject, including the intricacies of how all events are stored in the brain with cross-connections/relations to other events. Basically, every memory-dimension (time, temperature, happiness, anger, feelings) are all stored in nice gradients with connections to other memories. i.e. The only thing making you think that some past event, yields to some "next" event, is a series of synaptic connections, saying it does. I think the deeper you dig, the more you see how things breakdown from this simple linear view of events happening in your day-to-day life. I'll end here for now at risk of being vague unless asked for further clarity. :)
One of the three principle characters had a transparent body through much of the film. It amazes me people could think it was light on GGI, or not be sure anything had been done.
This is pretty interesting, thanks.

I'm not really strong in stats, but it seems like many of the non-contaminated counties have very low sample sizes that may not be statistically significant. Example: in Marin County, 0 of 11 samples were found to be contaminated. In Alameda, 2 of 73 samples were contaminated.

Maybe someone else can comment?
The ACLU and NILC got the stay of execution Saturday night, about 28 hours after the executive order was signed. I was one of the protestors outside the Brooklyn courthouse; NILC tweeted around 7 PM that they just heard they got a 7:30 PM court date, and wanted supporters. Not all the lawyers got there on time (and it took longer for the NYPD to realize they should have a presence) but the hearing happened.

That was enough to stay execution for people who had already arrived in the US or were in transit at the time of the ruling. If Microsoft gets just a stay for future travelers within even a few weeks, that will be enough to allow them to continue business while fighting the legality of the order itself in the courts.

I'd guess they can also seek penalties or restitution.
Planet Earth makes its own water from scratch deep in the mantle
Don't take money from VCs who are expecting a 10-20x return?
I guess everyone just really, really loves Elon Musk.
If those are the facts of the case, I would say that looks pretty bad. Normally, a new car replacement under warranty is done in an effort to salvage repeat business after extreme duress. This Tesla was a lemon, and it should have been replaced with an equal spec model. This is where Tesla could have gotten tons of goodwill from the press, and I can promise that even the most fervent Tesla haters at the truth about cars/jalopnik/etc would have publicized this as amazing customer support. I am curious if this will now make those same sites as an example of how not to support the customer after the sale.
Just like the whining about the use of the term "SJW", the main source of the complaint seems to be that it's effective.

Not really. The car being returned to Tesla was, at that time, in good working order. Tesla had repaired it after the last issue. Now of course given the car's history it's possible that there were still other things wrong with it, but to the best of Tesla's knowledge, at the time the letter was signed, the car was defect-free.
> Virtually all of what Trump is being called out on has been consistent bipartisan policy

No, it isn't. Any of it, really.

> or at the least supported consistently by recent Republican administrations

A very few of the things he's been called out for fit this category, e.g., the Mexico City policy.

> and by every Republican primary candidat

A few more fit this category, but a lot of the things he's been criticized for miss all of them. One might fantasize that others might have, had they had the chance, done some of the things he's been called out for, but, e.g., no past administration or primary candidate of either party has suggested kicking the Joint Chiefs and DNI out of the NSC in favor of additional White House staffers.
Exactly, this is only the start of a very slippery slope.

It'll start with this 90 day Muslim ban and devolve into something much longer and much worse.
The problem is the massive amount of water you would need to create a protective shell. Getting it into orbit and accelerating the whole bubble towards Mars is very expensive and bringing it back probably impossible. But that's no problem if you're going to live on mars, right? Just bring enough water for irrigation.
Of course, it's unfortunate that a person can end up losing a financial bet -- it can definitely ruin lives.

... but in this case, these things were so valuable because they were severely constricted. Competition was restricted which means consumer prices are higher. Sure, perhaps that's measured in cents per ride, but it was still a tax levied on all drivers going to a small, lucky few.
I had the "12V battery problem" as well, which did require service. (I have a P85+.) I also had a more involved problem with the main battery which actually required them to swap the whole thing out for a temporary one, ship the original back to Fremont, and 1-2 months later I got my original battery swapped back in. (I got Tesla loaners both times it was in the shop for the swap.)

I wasn't buzzkilled at all; I did kind of sign up for some growing pains with an all-new technology. And Tesla service has been courteous as heck. And the car is still WONDERFUL to drive, so...
Because they kicked off the movement (at least the full EV one), are leading on automation as well, and because they're made in America. I'm sure there are good reasons against, but those are a few pros.
Huge PR win, at the very least.

"In what is a dark, and fascist time in Trump's America, brave companies like Microsoft and Amazon and standing up to the Orange Dictator in a brave cry for Freedom" and yadda yadda.

Also, they want to make sure they don't lose out on any future prospects to the competition - can't have too many college grads deciding getting a green card in America isn't worth all the vitriol and hatred being spewed at you by the Administration and starting their own companies or going to the competition, I imagine.
I can't say what is the best source of noise to experience this, but I have heard what sounded like my brother's voice on aeroplanes several times.
Uber considered a “necessary evil”
Give him the benefit of the doubt. It's something he's proud of and wants to be identified with. Besides, it's not even in the post itself. I don't see at all that this is some kind of declaration of elitism, any more than the "Hacker" and "Repatriated Kiwi" are. I could interpret those uncharitably as well, but would consider it crass to do so, particularly without knowing more about him.
What other great EVs are there? The only one I know of that comes even close is the Bolt, and it has no decent road trip capability and poor driver assistance features.

Tesla's bypass of dealers is another point in their favor.
IIRC Mozilla created such file format, and MS Explorer has its own proprietary version. They didn't caught on, though.
Microsoft has a Vancouver office which is set up to handle H1B candidates that miss the cut on a given year. I wonder if they believe that is at risk as well.
It's an operating theatre though.

These and other features may require our systems to access, store and scan Your Stuff. You give us permission to do those things, and this permission extends to our affiliates and trusted third parties we work with.

So, in order to work on collaborative documents, I give Dropbox, Dropbox affiliates and trusted third parties access? Who are these people?

Others working for Dropbox. Dropbox uses certain trusted third parties (for example providers of customer support and IT services) to help us provide, improve, protect and promote our Services. These third parties will access your information only to perform tasks on our behalf ... https://www.dropbox.com/terms

Maybe not so great for business data privacy compliance then?

I know it's not just Dropbox, but the idea that I'm creating business content in some pseudo-document format that an unspecified number of people, including outsourced IT, have access to is unsettling.

It's a gold mine for Dropbox of course. They control the document format, making it really easy to data mine. They know exactly what everyone is working on. Your team spends hours planning bigger, brighter ideas, and someone is watching.

And they hold us hostage forever. Export is .docx only and the export formatting is atrocious, non usable.

What ever happened to encryption for cloud-based services? We're giving all our data away.

--

Now, with all that said, Dropbox Paper does solve a number of problems businesses face. The bare bones editor, overall simplicity, and elimination of the traditional file format makes it really easy to use, especially when collaborating with folks that may not create documents every day.

Paper docs are giving Basecamp, non-developer Confluence Pages (JIRA) and web hosting at our office a run for the money. Because it doesn't feel bloated.

Plus, there's too many options for these types of business productivity tools at the moment. Simpler is better in this regard, as navigating all of the options, and training people, is a project nobody really wants to commit to. At least not at our office.

That makes Dropbox Paper a good fit for something.
Or perhaps just ad hominem.
Does anyone know if the same admin UI (tables, settings) is available with Parse Server?
Because Tesla makes the sexiest one, duh! ;) AND is being produced by the first new auto manufacturer "startup" that has a shot in hell of a continued existence.

(Disclaimer: I own one. I also used to own a Volt, which was nice... but there is no comparison, frankly. I think the Bolt looks cool, and I generally think pure-electric technology is the way to go... if we keep applying pressure to the battery problem, it will keep getting better and better, same as every other technology in history)

Sorry, Working from Home Isn't the Future of Job Flexibility
I've been burned by bad cron monitoring many times in the past. Short answer: check out https://cronitor.io/. Basically, finish every cron job by telling their server that the job finished. It's good enough monitoring for most cases.
Good luck, Trump's executive order is perfectly legal within his delegated executive authority, whether you agree with it or not. The only point of contention is that it's Trump that originated the order instead of when Obama the same thing with Iraq for 3 months, and Clinton called for something similar during his 8 years. The countries that are currently (temporarily) banned are effectively failed states, lack an effective government, or are effectively hostile to the US, and lack the infrastructure or cooperation to provide proper background checks for entry into the US. Entry is a privilege, not a right.

It is not a religious ban, and it's not a blanket ban. Most people so far delayed have been cleared for entry.
I'll just stick with my Chevy Volt and Bolt, thank you very much. Also "Made in America"
I'm sorry this happened to you. These are the things that scare me about the Model 3 ramp up to 500k cars/year. Hard to do and they want to do it fast. Their track record for the smaller details isn't the greatest, and when you're spending 100k on a car, the details matter. To me at least.

-Tesla owner since 2013.
Not the OP, but I personally root for Tesla because they're the ones pushing the envelope when it comes to EV cars. If it wasn't for Tesla's huge popularity, it is doubtful we would ever see mass-market adoption of EVs.

That said, it's clear that innovation can come at a cost, as we read in the article. Tesla handled this very poorly. If I were the author, I would have taken them to court, despite being a huge fan.
>What is the value that motivates people to buy DVDs that are a bootable install and/or live image of a free OS for $9.99 at Fry's?

We don't have Fry's here, but depending on your 'net connection it can be cheaper / more time effective to buy a physical version instead of a download. See also physical console games.
I cannot imagine how thick of a bubble one would have to be living in for HN to seem like it is "overrun by Trump apologists"
NewLisp v.10.7.1 is out
How Liberals Killed the Freedom of Movement
Thanks for telling this story. The car business is HARD. I, for one, hope Tesla makes it across the chasm from early adopters like me to the mainstream.

There's a reason for the existence of dealerships: they are local businesses that local jurisdictions can hold accountable for such things as lemon law refunds. If Tesla wants out from under the dealership laws, they better handle this kind of problem more professionally from the factory.

They also need to grow their corporate PR and communications to be bigger than a single Twitter account if they're going to appeal to a mass market.

All that being said, I really like my Model S. I hope they make it.
Artificial Intelligence Can Spot Cancer as Well as a Dermatologist
Definitely! I notice substantial gains from meditation almost immediately. Public transit can be extra challenging, but can also be helpful - in the way that you're supposed to let thoughts arise and then float away, you also let sensations arise and float away. If transit is crowded, you'll have more of those to actively let go of :D

At a basic level, meditation is literally practicing letting shit go. This is useful, for instance, when people write bad code that really - you get the idea.

Note: Definitely do NOT try to "squash" thoughts. Let them show up and float on away. This is not a goal oriented activity; you don't have to maintain an empty mind for two minutes, let alone two hours of transit. You'll notice more of what to do as you do it more, if that makes sense.
I've done this many times in the past. Add an authenticated "cron" endpoint, and have a jenkins job curl it every X seconds. It's not perfect, but it's an easy way to see log, alert Pagerduty, etc.
There is a good Planet Money podcast on this topic:

Hi, on the kubernetes blog[0], there's a command:

`fission function create --name hello --env python --code hello.py --route /hello`

The `function` function, doesn't seem support route, and should be broken up into two parts:

`fission function create --name hello --env python --code hello.py
fission route add --function hello --url /hello`

Taking a look at the help menu for function it's not there, I'm running:

`fission version 0.0.0`

It's really interesting to see how far some people will go to absolve Tesla of anything bad. This car was a lemon and the owner got terrible service from Tesla. End of story.
Jekyll setup on NixOS
Yes, a 5-year "Diplom".
The author got their money back, didn't they? Tesla should have treated them far better, but I don't see what there is to sue over.
Hello,
I am a beginner programmer and I recently started a blog where I will be writing about my experiences as I try to get seriously into this beautiful discipline. My first post is about Jekyll platform for blogging and the difficulties that arose as I set up my environment on NixOS operating system. I currently work in NixOS + Emacs + Python environment, so you can expect more posts related to these topics. I am a musician, have been playing for almost 10 years, and the interesting thing is that when I'm writing code (or trying to write code, to be more accurate) I experience the similar thrill like when I'm playing or composing. I am from Europe and English is not my native language, so I would appreciate your comments about my post, my English, in fact anything you can think of
Google lets developers submit Daydream virtual reality apps
This article lists 4 terms that it says originated with Mark I. But 3 of those terms were used in the Mark I because they already meant the correct thing. The only term to get effectively a new definition when applied to computers is "bug". So it seems kind of weird to say that e.g. "loop" originated with the Mark I when the definition of the word didn't change.

In fact this kind of brings to mind patents. "ordinary thing, done by a computer" is not particularly significant, neither in terminology nor patentable ideas.

I think a large part of it is cultural: Tesla is seen as a tech company, and we root for tech companies. Especially when they're seen as "disrupting" and taking on entrenched companies in an industry. Personally, I do think it's a bit exaggerated. But on the other hand, I think that Tesla did help the EV market bloom a bit faster than otherwise would have happened. Other car companies did know about EVs and some even experimented with EVs before Tesla (see: GM EV1), but the fact that Tesla started profiting off of this market segment made other companies want to enter the market segment earlier rather than later.
The curious tale of Solomon and the Phoenix
I wrote this piece on Firebase recently and I would not recommend it except for very simple or specialised projects.

https://medium.com/@Pier/firebase-the-great-the-meh-and-the-...

Don't get me wrong, Firebase has a lot of good things going on, but the bad aspects make it unsuitable for a large variety of projects.
It's hard not to be really, really impressed by him, tbh.
As I mentioned above, big techs are already expanding their offshore dev centers. Going offshore is a proven option to them.
Immigration and border protection fall under the fed's jurisdiction.

Which is why Obama sued Arizona when their governor signed the law to essentially enforce the existing federal laws lol.
Which is why I grabbed Newton's gravity model as an example. It's known to be a flawed model, only useful as a simplified approximation method that's "good enough" for many purposes.

It's like having a model that says "quack-like sound == duck". It's wrong. We know it's wrong. It may be useful when looking at birds, but it's 100% wrong when your hard drive produces the noise.

Of course it's a spectrum, but some of the things we hang on to and use are known to be false in a large way but still useful.
I just did a search on GlassDoor for some of the Big 4, and intro salaries for "Sap consultant" (usually 0-3 years experience) was $103k USD. Cybersecurity engineers in that range were $78-85k (usually a higher paid group of Big 4).
Not a startup...but I do know of (I am consulting for them on the project) an established SaaS company that is impressively large and successful in their vertical that is porting from PHP/Postgres to ASP.net core and running it all on Azure

Biggest pain so far is the versioning FUD around .Net core, standard etc. That said, it is not really an issue.

From a risk mitigation perspective we are trying to lean on some other established and long tested things like Dapper as a micro-orm and staying away from fluid elements that we really want to use like SignalR until they settle down some.

We also went as green field as we could, no attempt to port code in the classic sense, ground up rewrite.

It kind of reminds me of old books like Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, ever try to read that book? Wow...

Also I'm a jr web developer, I guess I could see how if you are not exposed/use something everyday you wouldn't know how to read it/understand it. At least code words are in "understandable English" I guess I don't know... ayeeee.... but I could see the parallel, that's why if you can't code/need something done you'd probably hire someone compare to a lawyer...
In other words - Google Wave?

Right, I misunderstood what you were saying.

Also, yes, the hyperloop isn't directly relevant to Mars for that very reason - the atmosphere is annoyingly thin from a reentry point of view (enough that you have to protect against heating from it, but not enough that it can be used to bleed off all that velocity from orbit) but that means it's not really an issue if you want to push something fast through it. That said, I wasn't making any comment about the hyperloop itself rather the parent post's comments about why digging tunnels on Mars might be necessary.

Not sure why my posts attracted downvotes though (not necessarily from you), but whatever.
5$ in the digital age just seems ridiculous. That's 50% of my Netflix subscription for one film! If it was 1-2$ I would feel much better about renting a film online. At 5$ I'm halfway to a movie ticket, which is a much better experience (for me at least).
