I actually would love to hear more about your perspective on the crypto used in Zerotier and why it shouldn't be used for remote workers and those sorts of things.

I've been a user for quite a while and it's been really nice (and generally I've really only had trouble using Zerotier on really locked down wifi networks), but given their Technical FAQ info it sounds pretty convincing to a lay non-security-expert person that it is relatively secure:
https://www.zerotier.com/tech_faq.shtml#security

As far as using it for remote workers, in comparison to how our current VPN option at work functions (currently a SonicWall Firewall/VPN) it definitely seems to work more easily/consistently so it's been something I've wanted to share so we can try out (but if there are big security issues with doing so I'm sure myself and others would love to get your thoughts on Zerotier in particular).

Thanks!
Over the years, Eliot Miranda has been quietly working on some very impressive improvements to Cog. Very heartening to see the progress!

Big thank you to Eliot!

Obviously, there are also lots of open source people earning income from Patreon and the traditional bountysource too - but salt is the Bountysource clone of Patreon, specifically for OSS.
You need optical media to transfer content from one network to another without setting off alarms. The network admin knows if you plug in mass storage devices within about 2 seconds. Mass storage devices require a mounting process that communicates with both the bios and the OS. The OS will then send an alert to a known point on the network, and if configured directly will respond to the switch at the local network which will drop the subnet. If you are dumb enough to pop a USB device in everybody in your office will know in seconds as they lose their connection. Then your boss will get scolded and you will get stuck with remedial training. It is pretty damn embarrassing like wearing a dunce cap. They may not always know who the offending person is, but they will have the IP of the offending terminal and a hardware signature of the offending device.
That's true, but then of course you would end up breaking compatibility with lots of things.

Linux has their drivers in the kernel tree for the most part, with no promise of backwards compatibility whatsoever. macOS is fine overall, but I've never had a major update not trash major parts of the OS, whether that's the build environment, some subset of GUI apps, or general hardware support.

Windows has a driver model. While not a promise, third parties can typically expect drivers to keep on working. I've never experienced an OS other than Windows with such broad hardware compatibility and such broad binary compatibility. Except in rare instances, just about every piece of non-driver software from the Windows 95 era works unmodified on modern 64-bit Windows. AMD64 did not exist when Windows 95 was released. Drivers also typically work unmodified, the major exception being a pretty significant change around the time of Windows Vista.

Moving to Aarhus, Denmark later this year from Raleigh, NC. Primarily because my girlfriend got a job there and wishes to stay in Europe (she is EU national). But, she and many of my European friends have been convincing me that quality of life is so much better over there(subjectively) inspite of a deep cut in my earnings.
I do care about the highest quality of food, sensible political climate, and flexibility to travel more. So far Denmark seems like a good choice to me.
Anybody have relatable experiences or comments?
What better way to severely constrain med school seats than by adding difficult yet arguably unnecessary hurdles? Consider Icahn School of Medicine's special Medical School track [1] which takes undergrad students with just 1 year of biology, chem, OR physics (just 2 semesters in total) as a prerequisite and that's it. Those students perform just as well, and have a higher propensity to practice in underserved areas.

Makes you wonder.

>The Linux community was way more trying to run on everything.

In contrast to some opinions, I like this sometimes.

For example, would the world come to an end if FreeBSD came with neovim?

If the prompt out of the box showed pwd?

I know that some things are controversial (ahem systemd), but when learning a new system, little things matter and make your system popular.

(And, as a side rant, in contrast to some who like to use haskell on nixos (Which I actually like!) running on an obscure chipset, popularity is good. If someone asked me what Unix should he learn, I'd send him to Linux and not FreeBSD, since it's going to be much easier to find noob help online. Then, this noob will go on to become a sysadmin, he'll recommend Linux because he knows it and will be able to find others who do.)
Does anyone know if the paypal page is doing it right? Usually I see something about donation with other projects. This one says "Purchase details" and has quantity. I'd hate for it to be closed down for not complying with some paypal rules.
It does, although it probably wouldn't keep all the stores open because the market is limited. The problem was the need for growth.
I moved off verizon to google fi last summer, there was no PIN, just asked for my phone number and name.
I think this is maybe a reaction to the way AT&T made Unix so expensive and inaccessible to hackers for so long that the idea of charging $$$ for something whose marginal cost of production was effectively $0 that the idea of charging money was morally repulsive to a lot of key figures in the movement.

In a way OSS seems like the sort of thing that would have worked great in some hypothetical enlightened communist system that didn't suppress liberty.
Perhaps the better question is why there are no instruments, say some kind of derivative, that allow betting against their success or hedging against failure.

The answer is probably the same but more abstract. Something about liquidity, secondary markets, counter positions, blah blah. I'd love to hear a professional in the industry explain it in more fundamental terms as I bet it would also serve to explicate the underlying mechanics of all markets of that sort.

It's super-slow, and freezes many times more than Sublime.

I like that it's more foolproof, though. Granted it's a product built for developers, it's nice to have a GUI for installing themes and plugins, and for configuring it. This aspect is what keeps me from switching to Sublime.
I'm not sure I really follow where you're going, but NSA is a very different organization from the FBI. Not only is this not good press for them, but probably there isn't any press that is good for them. They work best when they're being ignored, and the only time I can remember them seeking attention was that talk by the head of TAO early last year.
I've clearly not been keeping up.. Assuming a stripe then we're talking 7-8TB drives?

How much do those cost?

I guess that's a kind of expensive setup for what's being suggested was his home setup though?

20TB in a mirror is cheap as in the DC, at home I've not pushed above about 5 (don't have that much data and thus won't spank so much money on capacity)...

Are you running these things?
I did my uni ~10 years ago and I made a point of using Octave when everyone else was using Matlab. It worked just great for all the ODE and statistics exercises. Nobody else used it though.

That's technically true, but it assumes away the core, ever-present problems:

- It may not be physically possible to add enough lanes to e.g. handle everyone who would ever want to commute into L.A.

- Even if that road was correctly sized, it still has to dump the traffic into the next road, through the next intersection point. If you've increased the capacity of the freeway but none of smaller road networks that the traffic transitions to, you've just moved the bottleneck, not eliminated it. And that too may be physically impossible.

In any practical situation car transportation efficiency does not scale well enough that you can avoid addressing the demand side.

Did they try the 4 day week @ 7.5hrs?

This seems the more obvious choice for worker happiness. Also would give more time back to both emplyee/emplyor as for the former you dont have 5 days commute and the latter for things like nursing there is less handover times and similar prep.

Also I imagine if a bloc of countries did this en masse it would limit any detriment. That said I'd prefer 10hr days, which often is the case anyway, if I could get a 4 day week!
People are nothing special. They operate objects that you must avoid. Sometimes they jump in front, and you make an effort to not squish them, but there is a limit to how crazy the person can be before you aren't liable.

Snow is tough. You have to infer where the road is from hints like mailboxes, trees, the occasional plant, and tracks left by other cars. In that area, sometimes you get poles that are installed to guide the snow plow operators, but there are seldom any curbs. This is a really tough machine vision problem, with things like lane markings and even road width needing to be inferred. Visibility distance can be severely reduced due to falling snow, and headlights will make it glint back at you. It is important to predict slipping before it happens, lest you slide off a cliff.

Of course, we combine the two. You must predict when other drivers are at risk of sliding into you, then avoid being there at that time. For example, a driver descends a hill on a road that intersects your road, and he faces a 2-way stop sign. You are free to proceed right through because you don't have a stop sign, but this could be a fatal move.
Oh. That's because I'm not in the Software division, nor the Systems division.

Better yet, some consortium of universities. I've found that Matlab usage is probably like >90% academics.

Wouldn't paying for contributions to Octave devs not save them money versus Matlab licenses?
About ten years ago I needed a capacitor for a failed power supply. I drove to RS, found a replacement cap in the parts bin (which was virtually hidden in a corner in the back of the store), and went to the register.

The cashier gave me a disdainful look and didn't even want my money. He just handed the cap back to me and told me to leave with it.

These days I just order parts off of eBay. They arrive in a few days, and they're really cheap. The parts usually work, too.

Octave is a clone of MATLAB, which is MathWorks' flagship product. They have identical programming languages and similar libraries. MATLAB's initial release was in 1984, and Octave's was in 1988. So there is a direct comparison in terms of product features, target market and development period. A critical difference is that one is closed-source commercial product and the other is an open source GNU project. The huge difference in success makes for an interesting comparison of these two models of software development. It reminds me of an essay by an a16z partner about "Why there will never be another Red Hat" [1]

Las Vegas has some communication from traffic signals to vehicles [1]. I can't tell from the article how it is implemented; it might just be that the city's traffic control computer sends traffic light information out, instead of individual lights communicating.

Allegedly some large fraction of driving takes place within 20 miles of home. In light of that, including vehicles with 20-40 miles of EV only range makes perfect sense.
Not every program is intended to be connected to the internet or have user provided input.

I agree, for many programs memory safety matters. But there are a large chunk of programs where it doesnt matter/is not worth the effort.
Just want to clarify - the 15 million is direct searches meaning searches by humans (as far as we're aware). The bots and API hits are separate. On that day there were 6,039,060 API searches and 1,660,639 by bots, so a grand total of 22,806,056. We tend to use direct searches as the headline figure however.

Hey Keybase, I have a question for you guys:

What if we launch our own apps and websites that would allow users to claim they are X on website Y. Do you have a way for them to use their public/private key pair from their keybase clients, to sign these claims?

I do not necessarily want these claims to be publicly available to everyone on website Y. I want them to be privately transmitted between website A and B, so people can't be tracked between domains.
FWIW I had to unfollow more than few people on twitter in last few months. These folks were getting so bitter and filthy because liberal-progressive ideas were not resonating with popular politics across the world. Before that they would have something funny, interesting to say but lately they were all consumed with 'alternate facts', 'post truths' and so on.

I have come to conclusion all this logical sophistication is fine cover when events were happening the way these people liked else the world is going to hell.
Also ask Wolfram for some funding. They would love to gobble Mathworks clients and could do so with better Octave integration.
Nationalize it. Don't apply free market or for that matter multi sided platform exonomics to these problems. Education, Health, Military, Law enforcement, Internet are basic foundational needs that need to be owned by an entity who is not looking to make a profit on these.

And 10 years ago when I was in grad school (dropped out though), Python was on the rise with numpy and matplotlib. Coming from a programming background, it was an easy choice and I'm still using those today. They've got more usable for people with less programming experience with Jupyter notebooks etc.

Was briefly tempted by Octave, but it just didn't happen.
I should have specified more clearly

I meant, you should still be able to easily restart your program and continue using it. It wont crash your computer.

RCE is only a problem for computers that are connected to the internet and/or take user provided input.

I wonder if this is the sort of nonsense people regurgitated when IBM was pandering to Hitler for business. We should call companies out for bullshit in all its forms, not just wink and smile because we get how it all works.
Hopefully it will be offset a bit by the recent political failures in both the US and the UK. If people either don't want to move there or get new restrictions (bans, brexit), they likely won't just move to another profession. Some will hopefully create new companies outside of the usual tech centres.
That would make sense to me: in rough terrain, block the wheels and walk; on a flat surface, roll for better efficiency or speed.
There isn't really any planning. San Francisco never removes stop signs, but just adds them steadily as neighborhoods request them. Eventually they are turned into traffic lights. (I imagine "traffic signals installed" must be a performance metric for someone.)

A downside of having stop signs at almost every corner is that drivers seem to forget how to drive in areas without them. They assume that if they approach an intersection without a stop sign then they can drive through it at full speed, instead of looking for cross traffic and pedestrians.
It seems like TSLA is one of the most tirelessly shorted stocks out there. Why are there so many people betting against them?

I would think there would be a huge market for something like this as a chaperone for teen drivers.

They need reminders to check blind spots. They haven't built up experience in picking out subtle signs from other drivers.
Actually no, sorry for the lack of clarity. I was thinking more of the administrative problem for the consumer.

Like, I read a lot of news, and every news outlet I read would like me to subscribe. But while I do have couple of subscriptions, and if I was a bit better off I'd throw down for a few more, but if I were to buy a subscription to every outlet that I read 1 or more articles a month from then not only would it get expensive, it would generate an annoyingly large number of renewable transactions. I don't want 30 different subscriptions, especially when I might read a publication frequently for several months and then take a break from it for a similar period. I really like the journalism at The Atlantic for example but I haven't gone to their website for maybe 6 months; in this febrile political climate I've been reading more instant news and a bit less analysis/longitudinal work.

As you say I don't much care to pull out the credit card for a small amount, but I'll make smallish one-off purchases when I find something cool. What I'd like would be that I pay some fixed amount like $25/month and someone else takes care of distributing it approximately proportionate to where I spent my attention.

When book/magazine stores were more popular I used to buy a lot of magazines because I could go to one place and get a wide variety but not necessarily always the same ones every month. But it was only one or two financial transactions with a single vendor, the magazine store. This was more expensive than subscriptions, but more flexible plus I didn't get nearly as much junk mail. I hate marketing and when you buy magazine subscriptions you get swamped with it.
Sure, marginal cost is $0, I agree. But building and maintaning huge swathes of million (billion?) dollar infrastructures/architectures for enterprises for free feels somehow more wrong than building a small business that supports a few maintainers' families.

Or as a famous talk once said: fuck you, pay me.

Yep, people bitching or being super partisan are good grounds for dropping them from your circle(s) -- what I've not worked out yet is: was everyone so polarised already as you suggest (and simply had no reason to behave in this way as, if it's as you say they are only being vocal now that their views no longer match where global events seem to be taking us)? -- or is something going on which is making us all more militant in our views?

Reading only news which matches your views over a longer period seems to be making us all more aggressive/silo'd in our views..

It's pretty worrying, I'm not sure I can even have a reasonable discussion with someone who disagrees with me on any political topic which would end in a productive outcome anymore -- is it just me or does it seem that as a whole we're becoming more dismissive of others views and just shouting over each other, avoiding any challenges to the views we hold personally and then retreating back into our strongholds of those who agree with us?

It isn't physically impossible to use eminent domain to seize all the property around the roads and then build 32 lane roads all over Los Angeles.

That is a separate question from how stupid that is in comparison to the alternative of building higher density residential housing closer to where people work and with better mass transit.

But if people don't want to do that either, you have to pick your poison.

And there really are many cases (Los Angeles notwithstanding) where adding one lane isn't enough but adding two is and where that genuinely is the most reasonable option.
I'm thinking the same thing. Would love to see it earlier. At least by the time the right-hand drive market gets it all defects should be out of the car.
