Uhm, what? That's still fully secured. It's actually 4/3rds secured, not 1/3rds. If you have $1000 in your account and borrow $2000 to buy stocks, you've got $3000 worth of stocks that they can sell to cover a $2000 loan. Whenever this ratio goes near or below 1, they can sell the secured stocks to cover it.

VB6 was incredibly easy to work with, and honestly, the value it provided by being able to link a quickly-made, solid UI with easy, solid code was highly underrated.
Except most of the IoT devices on market would do the same thing for about same price without the cloud. The only problem the clouds solves for users is not having to know how to set up a VPN so that their shitty app can view mostly meaningless pseudo-charts when the user is away from home. But in exchange for that, you give the vendors lots of data to resell, and the ability to brick your devices remotely.

SaaS model being ported to hardware is probably the single most user-hostile development I've seen in recent years in tech.

Your criticism here is that he expressed his opposition to Trump with too much "melodrama"? That's pretty weak. Sometimes dramatic things happen. Sometimes dramatic language is warranted.

The psychology behind empathy is really interesting.

I try to avoid inserting politics into any discussion, but this NYT's article suggests that one's values are a determinant of their capacity to empathize...or more specifically, whether a person has individualizing or binding social values. Where one stands on this correlates to whether they are progressive or conservative in their thinking -- and by extension, in their political views. I guess if it was easy to talk about the socio without the political, there wouldn't be a word that combines the two:

Hmm, I don't think anyone who actually learned even a modicum of maths history holds that idea, though. Where were you made to believe the idea of one person coming up with complete solutions all on their own?
The `init_commento("http://0.0.0.0:8080")` in the README is an example. You can host your own instance of Commento and just point to that.

Wow. Am I the only one here that remembers that feeling of 1999, when all stocks were going up, and one could do no wrong with leverage and a Quick and Reilly account?

One of the things I learned quickly, living in the Bay Area, is the power of giving a crap. You're completely right! Empathy and sympathy, translated effectively into policy, can and do work wonders. You're not going to get these things where people don't care.

That said, there's a potential wrinkle. Empathy, sympathy, and compassion may be necessary but are not sufficient for effective policy. The idea that empathy compels people to find effective policy is incredibly attractive. Who doesn't want to do good? Who doesn't want to help the helpless, who so clearly deserve aid? Who doesn't want to believe that a blossoming of pure intent will help?

Empathy compels us! Compassion compels us! We are moved to act, and we must!

Yet, it's not enough. More than one pure-hearted program in the past has gone awry. Wasted limited funds or political capital. In some cases, gone so awry as to make things worse.

You're absolutely, completely, 100% right. We need to care!. We should think carefully about if giving a crap is sufficient. If it was, I would anticipate that San Francisco's very expensively given craps would have gotten the homeless off the streets by now.
Kobble can be used for much more than just notes. You organize 'tracks', which are more like projects. Tracks can contain notes, but also more meaningful content. Anything you can create with markdown (plus links, etc.)
By my math, Tarsnap is about 10x too expensive for my usage. The $5/mo I pay for Backblaze would get me 20 GB of storage on Tarsnap and no bandwidth, that's pretty poor.
There's no way atm. Can we export all Disqus comments into JSON? If so, I can probably write a script to convert that into a sequence of SQL statements and generate a `sqlite3.db` file. And if you place that in the root directory, all your comments will appear properly.
This makes it way too easy to accidently pass parameters by reference when you didn't intend to or, even worse, try to manipulate the same array from multiple goroutines without proper locking.

That's the biggest hole in Go's "share by communicating" story. In practice, Go channels are just a built-in queue object, with the same concurrency problems as queue objects in other languages. Rust has a borrow checker, so if you pass a reference through a queue, the compiler notices.

Gp strings are read-only, so slices of strings, although sharing data, are not sharing mutable data. That tends to make the problem at least manageable.

What would your perspective be if I took a stance to secure your vehicle, or the power company, or any myriad of others simply because I chose to?

What do you do when I change my logic to, well this is a ZERO DAY exploit, but you need to be patched, without understanding the complexities of your device or network. Which we all know QA takes a while because of variables. Look at any microsoft patch for evidence of that. Your argument makes it seem like if I decide to weaponize the Shadow Brokers toolkit to lockdown and secure networks around the globe, i'm ok because my intentions are good and manufacturers should have secure code without 0 days. What happens when a proprietary driver or component fails because of a change made to the kernel or the way it handles driver functionality? Now I've broken / disabled something because I didn't know the intricacies and instead chose to do what I thought was right.

Buying indexes is definitely safer than individual stocks, but also leads to lower returns over the long term compared to winning stocks. Also, they only go up while the market is going up. If you're just betting on the market, might as well buy and hold something like XIV and get higher returns/pay no fee on it.
Not sure what comment you're referring to?
> if somebody launched a car or power tool with a safety feature that failed 9 times out of 10 it would be pulled off the market immediately. I don’t see why dangerously designed IoT devices should be treated any differently

Really? He doesn't see how a car is different from a webcam? And why there are different safety standards for each?

Their goal is laudable, but this seems like a fun way to engage in vandalism while hiding behind an ideological aegis. The sort of thing I'd do when I was 15.

An interesting approach is to just make government decisions algorithmic. Have people do a questionnaire during elections, and then optimise policy to maximise benefit to everyone. Try and make the optimisation process as open and explicit as possible.
One reason might be that air conditioning/flow systems are not very common in Germany an thus you feel the need to create your own air exchange.

I'm not sure what you mean by layers of abstraction (type checking? optimization?) but C code often does have a pretty straightforward translation to assembly.

It doesn't really help if you have multiple terrabytes of data, $250-$1000/month for 1-4TB is definitely a no-go for me...
Even if you include TOTAL energy instead of electrical energy (in the US, electricity is responsible for 40% of energy use, so I'll use that as a guesstimate), and assume 100MW/km^2 instead of 150 (even though I already accounted for that in the cloudy winter day part), you're still producing about 3.7 times as much energy on that cloudy winter day than the total UK energy use. And that's before we use higher efficiency solar panels or deep sea hydrogen seasonal storage (the latter of which is one of the very few sensible seasonal energy storage methods).

It's an absurd claim to say it's impossible, and there's almost nothing more annoying than a source claiming to be "without the hot air" actually being full of plenty of hot air on absolutist claims like this. You don't correct BS by using equal and opposite BS.

(Most energy advocates I know do this... both renewable advocates and nuclear advocates, exchanging BS about the opposite technology. It's a clean energy circular firing squad, with the climate in the middle.)

Honestly, I've never heard of a law like that. The U.S. is a big place; whereas that may be the case in parts of the country, in the south where I'm from, that's never become known to me, especially in the rural areas where I grew up. Instead, the people using your things without permission are at the very least trespassing.
> Kobble is the only app available where you own all of your data.

If it's hosted on Github's servers, you don't really "own" it. Or at least you don't have sole proprietorship of your data.
Well that is true, but the effects that turd has on drinking water and overall health isn't quite as obvious.
You can build a bomb with plutonium but no tritium, so if you want to prevent countries from going nuclear that's what you need to stop.

Also, the plutonium production is the bottleneck. E.g. this article about the Pakistan nuclear weapons program[0] estimated that the 50 MW nuclear reactor in Kushab could be used to produce 10kg of plutonium and 100g of tritium per year. The plutonium would be enough for about 2 bombs, while the tritium would be enough for 20.

I think my focus is less program-specific than it is interpersonal, i.e. that I as an individual have a responsibility to take part in my community as a member of that community. This means giving my time, my effort, my compassion - not just throwing some money on the table and saying "someone else fix it".
For a company I worked for, it was transactional emails (recipes) that would get blackholed. So while you're probably right that a lot of people doing legit marketing, but not 100% correctly often complain, it's also people doing legit work as well.

The problem with that argument is that you can use it to attack, well, anything, so long as the countervailing viewpoint is threatening to your own worldview. One could very well have applied the same objection to the null result of the Michelson-Morely experiment: since it showed that the Earth was acting weirdly with respect to the lumeniferous aether, obviously there must be something more pedestrian at work than "the aether doesn't work like we thought it did."

In Diamond's case, he's dismissing all claims of pre-Clovis settlement of the Americas. For most mainstream anthropologists, the case is settled: Clovis was not the first group of humans to settle the Americas, and the Americas were settled perhaps ~20kya, not ~13kya, probably via coastal migrations (whose sites are now underwater) rather than via the interior route blocked by the Laurentide. The biggest problem with the traditional Clovis + ice-free corridor hypothesis is that the Laurentide opened up about a 1000 years too late.

For someone like Jared Diamond, I suspect the main resistance to accepting earlier habitation of the Americas is that it throws major wrenches into the hypothesis that the mastodons were hunted to extinction by early humans.
The problem is, I think, what choice do we have (we == rest of the world) when somebody's messed up camera starts spamming the entire Internet? And how much does cost the mirai botnet to everyone when some client rents it?

Best case scenario: users claim warranty and replace their devices something better

Worst case scenario: users need to buy new gear, they probably won't buy from that same manufacturer because last one died for no apparent reason.
Really worst case scenario: users buy again the same cr*p and dies again, until they realize that brand is worthless and buy something a bit better.
Doesn't seem so bad, if the alternative is having their machines taking down businesses and users...

Early in my computer education at high school, I took a PET maze generator from one game, It was in ML and I didn't know ML, only the SYS to start it and how to use the ML monitor to SAVE the game to preserve the code. Added in a 4 way scrolling type-in ML routine from a magazine, and some BASIC game code which created a moving maze game where the maze moved around the stationary player.

How does your opinion change with Phishing attacks? I'm going to steal funds from businesses by phishing vulnerable people, because If I don't capitalize on it, then people won't understand the costs / risks.
the 2010-2015 era of generous outcomes for early-stage startups is over. No more easy follow-on rounds or acquisitions. Being VC becomes a lot harder so all these non-institutional personality guys - Sacca, Tim Ferris, Ashton Kutcher, and Russ Hanneman types are going to move on.

But storing data (and backing it up, and ensuring that backups work, and having some kind of monitoring so you don't discover one day that everything silently broke and all your data is now gone, and buying the hardware to support all that, and taking time to research the purchase of that hardware, and the extra, constant, low-grade stress associated with all the above) is never free, provided you actually care that said data survive and be accessible/useful.

Might not look better, but I can copy all my settings from computer to computer, unlike the registry.

Also, the registry is used for a lot of stuff besides configs. So my experience on Windows is that you have to run the installers (=slow), rather than simply copying all the files to clone a system.

Plus, it tends to fragment all across the disk, or something like that, and your Windows system inevitably slows down over time. Maybe SSDs eliminate that problem; I (fortunately) haven't had to use Windows in quite a few years.
Agree. This is annoying.
Many of these subjects are discussed in the popular Learning How To Learn online course [https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn]. I finally signed up for it and I'm grateful.

No he didn't.

How did you come to such a ridiculous conclusion?
Awesome! Out of curiosity, what does that look like in terms of action? The idea of an individual taking the individual responsibility as a member of their community to help other members of their community represents a wonderful blooming of pure intent, but is perhaps slightly abstract.

Also, there's maybe a potential issue with how community is defined. How do you define your community? What could happen if others possibly have different definitions?
He could have been working on it for 26 years and still failed to get it in, which would only mean that he sucks at it.

Other people have gotten large changes into the kernel before, but they require interfacing with the kernel devs and agreeing to certain changes first. Nobody's going to accept a patch just because Google wants it for one of its products. And Google isn't going to change its product patches just so they can fit in mainline.
I would argue, security needs to be a part of planning day 1 rather than looked at as a bolt on prior to involving upper management. It needs to be treated as a core functionality rather than an external concept. The biggest issue I see is we are patching and finding fixes for something that could easily be remedied if address before engineering takes place. Most firms i've worked with put it on the back burner or are stuck with the notion of i'm an engineer i'm smart so deal with it.
ArchiveTeam, however, is not as scrupulous :)
It sounds like you’re waging a war on metaphor. And losing.
The products aren't exactly comparable in terms of utility. I get a whole lot more utility out of a cell phone or laptop then I would out of the amazon look. Even if both have security risks one has substantially greater rewards.

Algorithms knowledge demonstrates competency in the small, but isn't good for demonstrating skill at programming in the large. The person passing such tests will be effective in developing programs, but not systems, and may not be effective in self-directed design of programs that exist within systems.

But the more obscure stuff doesn't demonstrate much, really, except that they know obscure stuff or are good at researching to find solutions. A more effective question might be: develop or use an algorithm (no constraint on performance like here) to solve problem X. Then follow it up with discussions on how their solution performs and see if it can be improved, and how well they handle being directed to a better--more efficient--solution if they didn't pick an optimal one already.

Of course, even that has problems (with the second part having an implicit bit of "culture fit" to it, and depending on the interviewer being a good critiquer and not merely a nitpicker). And it still only reveals the ability to program-in-the-small. So would only be useful for certain roles, or perhaps more widely for entry level employees.
Data on national scale, like the eia stuff you link to, is vital to understanding and debate.

What I realize I don't understand is the meaning of "Generation at Utility Scale Facilities" in the header of the table. What does this exclude and how meaningful is the exclusion?

According to the table, net generation at utility scale has decreased 10% over the last decade. How much of that is driven by non-utility scale generation versus decreased energy usage? (Alternatively non-utility scale generation has outpaced total growth in energy use - I'm ignorant of total consumption data so I don't know what is really going on).

Either way, the numbers do seem to suggest a case for new nuclear generation overall.
