I worked at a company that was acquired by Corporation Service Company (CSC). First, they assigned our team a manager that "specialized in managing remote teams." Our team wasn't "remote", as we all worked in the same office, with cubicles and whiteboards and all the trappings: it was "remote" in the sense that we didn't work at corporate headquarters.

The import of this nuance would soon become clear. Management then told us, after moving everyone into a brand new office, that it didn't want any technical work done "remotely." And to aid in the transition? Why, hire a developer located in India, of course!

The new owner literally added two genuinely remote people to our team in the name of not being remote. Prior to the acquisition, we all worked within a 50m radius.

Apparently, acqui-firing was such a habit for CSC that disgruntled former employees founded National Registered Agents, Inc. (NRAI), which became one of their major competitors. At some point NRAI and CT, the primary of CSC's competitors, were fused together, along with BizFilings, under Wolters Kluwer. I think the current registered agent market share is about 60% CT and 40% CSC. It takes a special kind of management genius to motivate the people you fired into forming a business from scratch to compete with you, take some of your market share, then merge with your archenemy.

And the thing that makes all this worse is that a nationwide registered agent business must necessarily have more than 50 offices that are not the corporate headquarters. So some companies hate "remote" so much that they can't even stand to have certain employees working together as a team in a satellite office, one that they have to keep open anyway! (But outsourcing to India is still okay.)

Still not the worst-managed company I ever worked for.

> But the server and the client should support only a single algorithm, probably HMAC with SHA-256, and reject all of the others.

If you have a centralized system dealing w/ authentication, this doesn't work, as now everything that needs to verify JWTs needs the secret. The support for RSA, instead of HMAC, is there to meet a different set of requirement.

What people fail to remember is that JWTs — and the libraries that work w/ them — do not just wrap data to be authenticated. They also handle verifying the various claims on a token — is this token applicable here? is this token expired? — things relevant to an authentication token, not just a mere signed blob of data. The suggestion to leave those to be reimplemented by every single end-user is bad advice.
"Uber Freight" was supposed to be a freight forwarder, a booking service for cargo. "Uber for semitrailers", if you will. Call for a truck and driver, and someone comes, connects to your trailer, and takes it somewhere. There are already other companies offering that service. There's no one dominant player, so Uber might be able to muscle in.

Uber registered with the US DOT as a freight forwarder, not as a trucking company. Freight forwarders are carriers, even if they don't own any trucks.
They have financial responsibility for the load getting to the destination in good condition. Uber doesn't get to claim they're just a booking agent.

This service doesn't seem to have launched. But that's what previous reports said Uber Freight was.
If Apple really believe that they can replace MacBook Pros with iPads, I think they will be sorely disappointed. Apart from vim/emacs hackers and sysops that can get by with just a shell and keyboard, just about everybody needs a touch pad or a mouse to be productive, and more importantly, a proper desktop OS. Yes, app/context switching will become even faster, iPad screens can be made bigger, and long battery life is alluring; but how am I supposed to mix music without proper peripheral support, edit pro video without external storage mechanisms (or even file system access), or manipulate pictures without fine mouse/touchpad control? How will I develop apps without XCode or Android Studio, debug IE CSS bugs without a VM, or write actually useful scripts without a fully blown unix shell or rubygems etc?
I think the tone is perfect.

- In questions, it represents a knee-jerk reaction of annoyance by a deathist who hasn't thought about this seriously or deeply.

> Someone may not have turned up because their mother was in hospital. Maybe they were about to RSVP but then their kid fell over, then it was dinner time etc.

These are exceptional conditions, not norms. Many people have taken to simply not RSVPing or RSVPing in the positive and not showing up as their norm. It's not an exceptional thing. Someone with a particularly hectic life is consistently unreliable, fine. Someone who's usually reliable but is unreliable a few times, give them the benefit of the doubt. People who aren't leading hectic lives (or are actively hiding that fact, it's usually hard to do so) that are consistently unreliable, they're just rude.
Are acquisitions pre or post tax. I Don't know.

If they are pretax - You very well could evade taxes by spending excess money on acquisitions, allowing the stock price to increase based on future earnings. Then use step up capital gains when you die to avoid capital gains when transferring wealth to offspring.

The technical factors are actually key to the political decision. Content addressing will occur at the browser level in order to improve caching behaviours, this will be implemented by organisations who are part of a political sphere (google, mozilla, apple) whose influence is largely determined by their technical performance. It is then a minor matter for it to move forward into a larger addressing scheme (likely to occur at the same time).

IPFS is approaching the issue from the opposite direction of course, but the two are so tightly coupled that I doubt there will be much risk.

IPFS is most likely to fail for any technical problems it may have.

My reading of it is that anonymized individual non-PII data, such as browsing history, is allowed to be sold.
Probably easier from a technological standpoint, but I can imagine an autonomous freight network being just as challenging as an autonomous tax service if you account for all sorts of things: sales, mountains of other regulations, compliance, etc. I can hardly imagine it's as simple as, "let's just put some sensors on trucks and the problems will solve themselves!"

Thank you, I'm glad to see another comment like this. I've also started avoiding WP for similar reasons; it feels as though they've been trying to become Fox News for the left, which is not what I'm looking for in journalism. More and more it feels like discussion is being dominated by irrational actors, and news orgs pander to this for eyeballs.
Yeah same story here. Am from Long Island and grew up with amazing pizza on every corner. Moved to Michigan and after a few years of disappointment I started a pizza diary (http://tightpizza.com) where I break down why I am dissatisfied with the state of pizza out here.

Recently I started making my own with a recipe similar to what was posted here (but mostly from Ken Forkish's book The Elements of Pizza), and I'm pretty happy with the results so far. It's at least something to hold me over until trips home.
Your edit makes me wonder if you realize consciously that your rant is completely orthogonal to net neutrality even with your epplanation, and you're just doubling down on deliberate unawareness as a strategy to avoid feeling foolish.
I'm not quite sure if it's good practice. We have many elegant/flexible alternatives to do things like this.
here's my favorite eno quote that i break out at any opportunity:

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.”

Does it currently exist?

Do something significantly illegal enough online most anywhere and you will be caught. Other than very specialized internet usages that are outside the purview of the common individual, the only question currently is if the government can justify going after you, not if they can go after you. Right now if you point out corruption against a local government they likely won't go after you due to lack of resources, not technical limitations. Point out major corruption at a high enough government scale and you will be caught (especially given that one will have to go outside of legal channels to do so).

This is a problem with a lot of Indian studies[1]. The subjects are so intertwined with religion, culture, mythology (to say nothing about the biases and opinions of the people who would be teaching you) that while on one hand it helps in establishing context, on the other hand it distracts from the subject matter which honestly are deeply interesting independent of their cultural baggage.

[1] In case you're curious, what exactly I mean by Indian studies, some examples are all form of classical Indian music (and that's quite a few ..if you are to consider learning specific musical instruments by themselves as a subject, besides music theory), classical Indian dance forms, Yoga, Ayurveda ...etc

OP is not telling you to "feel better" - he is saying he was only able to tackle his depression after taking a more holistic approach to monitoring and changing his brain operation.

Emotions are, quite literally, certain chemical states in animals with nervous systems of at least a certain complexity. That's where the "chemical imbalance" mantra falls apart - at best, it adds no information, and even worse, its used to peddle drugs which are developed without coherent and predictable models of the neurology involved in the symptoms/diseases they're supposed to treat.

Specifying "v1" "v2" or "v3" is not materially different than specifying the exact algorithm by name, which is what JWT does.

You (and the linked article) are selectively quoting the JWS specification too, to imply that the server needs to always handle a token presented to it, regardless of the specified algorithm; the article is misleading the reader by doing so. The RFC also states,

> Even if a JWS can be successfully validated, unless the algorithm(s) used in the JWS are acceptable to the application, it SHOULD consider the JWS to be invalid.

As for the section about "MUST be understood and processed": the standard is simply saying that implementors must use the "alg" field. You can't ignore it. Extending that to "must process anything the client sends" results in nonsense.

The suggestion to "use NaCl" ignores the entirety of JWT claims, and foists implementation of that functionality onto every single consumer that needs them. (And you hope that they recognize that they need them.) Centralizing implementations of cryptographic code into a few, well-vetted implementations is better than just throwing our hands up and telling the community to fend for themselves. While some JWT implementations had bugs in the past, these same bugs could easily be present in the custom implementations of your proposal, of which there would be many.
But even the small counties have populations in the several hundreds or thousands, right? Outliers that die at 33 or 103 affect the average little when you have a population of 2,000.
No, casserole and pie are different. Casseroles are typically multiple layers and/or a mixture of many ingredients in one pan. Pies have a single, distinct pastry/dough base that contains a filling.
You are right, trucks and also train's are certainly and easier problem to fix. However it's about market size.

Automate a train or a truck and you save on persons salary. Automate personal transport and your market is 6 billion people.
And YouTube isn't entitled to thousands of people producing high quality content on a daily basis, just because they provided a means to do so. Nothing stops those same people from leaving for other platforms, and the number of people switching over to twitch.tv means that's already happening. Having a user hostile attitude and making life harder for small content creators is probably an unwise long term play for YouTube to make.

You are cherry picking on the 2010 issue. The graphs show lines for the beginning of every decade since 1980. The year 2000 was basically the peak of the .com bubble, and it still showed 25 year olds making less than 25 year olds in 1980.

I get your point about selecting data from any individual year, but the trend lines shown in the graphs cover entire periods.
Vancouver here. I'm curious ... What neighbourhoods did you spend your week in?

Vancouver (and Toronto), when looking at the urban centres, boast lower-than-national rates of smoking. Source: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/82-583-x/2011001/article/11575-...

There haven't been "smoking sections" in Vancouver restaurants or bars for years (decades?) and we even ban smoking in public parks ... so I'm surprised to hear your observation. I recognize that I'm likely normalized to my home city but I do travel a lot and it doesn't feel like I come home to any more smoke in my city than I'd experience in San Francisco or Seattle.

One observation that I stand behind is ... in both Canada and the USA, suburban and rural smoking rates are higher than urban.

BUT ... the theory suggested here about tourists and immigrants bringing their habits with them is good. And Vancouver is a tourist destination, which is why I was curious about the neighbourhoods you noticed the smoking in.
Less cigarette smoke is definitely a perk of living in the US. I was shocked to see the amount of smoking in Switzerland when I visited recently. I'd put it at the same amount as in India (where I am from), probably. I also remember a lot of smokers in Germany when I lived there for a couple of months in 2010.
One interesting observation that supports this is that women's labor rate participation had a slower ramp. Not a doubling over night. Following that, their wage equality has slowly been ramping, too. Both of those sound like gradual dilutive trends on the labor supply/wage graph.

I REALLY like the idea of looking the cumulative burden of employer-born costs of employees as the percentage of dual earners goes up.

my "bet" is that you'd find that the cost of those benefits have been growing at par with the women's labor force participation rate. Take a look at the charts in the Slate Star Codex post on Cost Disease, and overlay the growth in Women's labor force participation rate, and growing pay equality. The relationship is likely not perfectly causal, but there might be a meaningful effect in there.
Realistically, that is probably the case, but people who are using macOS professionally are still willing to spend money on hardware with more performance, 'it can never be too fast' etc. My old 2010 Pro compiles node.js about 4X faster than a newer i7 iMac (and uses at least that much more electricity to do it, so that may not seem like a huge win, necessarily). It seems clear that the old Pro's flexibility and upgradability are essentially at odds with Apple's general direction towards soldered and glued products that are only extensible via Thunderbolt; I would be happy to see them move back towards more user-serviceable hardware, but I am not holding my breath. The question of whether that makes sense for their business is trickier, they do have deep pockets, so unless they lost money on the new Pro, it would at least provide bragging rights.

But you base where you live on the infrastructure available. If high internet speeds are important to you, then moving to a city with better options makes sense. If you want to lie in the boondocks, then that's more important to you than internet.
The Push Train
I am currently studying Panini's Ashtadhyayi (the authoritative source of Sanskrit grammar) and I can tell you from first hand experience what is true and what is not. That Sanskrit is scientific, mathematical, ideal for AI/Comp Sci is gross exaggeration. Panini's work is truly astounding. It is extremely concise and dense. He uses some concepts to explain grammar rules that are normally not used in natural language grammars. For example, he assigns names to certain concepts and then builds on those concepts to create more and more complicated rules. There are rules that encompass other rules. There are rules that prohibit rules declared elsewhere in the book under certain circumstances. You can obtain a verb form by systematically applying 5-6 rules successively. If you know how to apply the rules you don't have to remember verb forms. They can be derived (easier said than done because there are 4000 rules and multiple rules can be applied with plenty exceptions and there are exceptions to exceptions). Panini was far ahead of his time and his work is truly amazing but there is nothing scientific/AI about it. He was a genius who devised a very clever way to succinctly list immensely complicated rules of Sanskrit grammar. Because Sanskrit grammar relies on very precise rules it is very amenable to computational analysis. However this does not mean that it is useful in Comp Sci/ AI as many Sanskrit zealots brag without any proof whatsoever.
There is plenty of data showing the negative income effects of divorce and single parent households.

One major conclusion of their research is that the family income of children whose parents divorce and remain divorced for at least six years falls by 40 to 45 percent.

http://www.nber.org/digest/jul02/w8786.html

As per the Census Bureau (table F-10), in 2014, married couple families with one or more children under 18 years, earned an average income of $111,278. In other words, traditional two-parent families earned an income that was more than three times higher than for households headed by a single mother.
