> and take some trips where you face at least a little adversity to get a good measure of how well you two can work together.

While I agree with this and do it in my own life, I don't think that taking a trip is enough to ensure a relationship is a success.

As an example: my partner and I have been on several trips to other continents. We've managed to make it through these trips without breaking up, and while having a reasonably fun time.

But while trips are stressful and are the ultimate test of your ability to compromise/communicate, it isn't the same as daily life together.

For example, my partner loves to leave dirty dishes in the sink to wash later. I prefer to do the dishes immediately so when I come by later to use the sink, it's not full of dirty dishes. It's small, but persistently annoying. We're both working on our tolerance for dirty dishes. (Before someone suggests buying a dish washer, our European apartment is too small for one, so the sink is the only option).

This not the kind of thing you'd notice on vacation.
And also send letter to FCC to encourage repeal Net Neutrality, try to make use of API copyrightable, try to steal Android revenues from Google with debatable reasons, and so ones... That is for the company in general, but for the customers of their database, there is also much to say.
Hi there, Creator here. That's an excellent question and one that I am trying to address but, honestly, I don't have a full answer for yet. I tend to be biased in terms of freshness since things change so rapidly these days but there are certainly open source projects such as QMail or Bind which certainly aren't fresh but are absolutely stellar.

Food for thought. Thank you.
I recall reading fiction in which there was a big difference between a privateer and a pirate. Privateers were 'licensed' pirates, given a letter of marque that allows them to attack enemies of the state.

The point being that, plundering french ships under an English letter of Marque will prevent the french from calling you a pirate. Instead, you are simply an enemy combatant.

I think this was from a Wilbur Smith novel.
Could you elaborate on your point, then?
Every single time that technology has made something massively more efficient, usage has gone significantly up, not down, as the efficiency enabled unexpected use cases.
I'm not sure it has much to do with the EU. The UK's domestic politicians did a poor job of managing migration. Had the brains in London allocated proper resources to the North and applied some common sense approaches to where migrants were placed and in what numbers, most issues would have been resolved.

Don't forget too that around half (iirc?) of annual migrants arriving in the UK come from outside the EU...

> Only if you completely bungle the implementation on the server-side.

I call this "blaming the user for the designer's error-prone cryptographic designs".

The problem with JOSE (the superset of specifications that includes JWT) isn't libraries written by careless developers, the problem with JOSE is the standard itself.

https://paragonie.com/blog/2017/03/jwt-json-web-tokens-is-ba...

If in doubt, ask a cryptographer.

The problems, for people who don't want to read articles from comment links, are:

- JSON Web Signing
- alg headers
- "This Header Parameter MUST be present and MUST be understood and processed by implementations."
- JSON Web Encryption
- RSA with PKCS1v1.5 padding (power word: Bleichenbacher 1998)
- ECDH over NIST curves (and, in practice, invalid-curve attacks)
- AES-GCM included in a list of asymmetric algorithm choices, for added confusion
- AES-GCM for shared-key encryption, without guidance over nonces or key rotation

A better solution from JOSE would only give developers two options:

- Version (v1, v2, v3, etc. which hard-coded the algorithm choices)
- Operation
- enc -> crypto_secretbox()
- auth -> crypto_auth()
- pub-enc -> crypto_box_seal()
- pub-sign -> crypto_sign_detached()
Thanks Google :( I think they should at least put a rate limiter to that endpoint.
#1 (“When you receive an invitation to a ball, answer it immediately.”) is really important. I can't tell you how many relationships (friendship, professional, or romantic) I've screwed up simply by not being a prompt responder. In the times, places, and relationships I've made prompt-responding a priority, everything goes better.
Couples who file for divorce are a subset of unhappy marriages.

Many people stay unhappily married (or unmarried & together) for a variety of reasons -- my comment was solely intended to reference people who pull that trigger.
I'm raised Christian from both parents, and my wife who wasn't has gone more of a Dawkins atheist route.

I would best describe us as soft agnostic and hard agnostic.

I think the key is accepting that none of us know what the fuck is going on in an unobservable space.

We'll raise our child(ren) by letting them develop their own world model, rigid where provable, soft where not. Always retesting.

I want to believe David Lynch made Blue Velvet on purpose as opposed to the ramblings of a mad man, even though no one can prove that to me. That is a soft belief, just like faith in "something" (should be).

We are happily accepting of each other. If we instead would've had fundamentally different views on what facts and beliefs are, that would have been a problem.
I find this a difficult situation. I know that with the litigatious culture in the US, lawyers practically need to be involved in every aspect of society, but I would really prefer if we could interact normally in good faith without involving lawyers in everything.

In Netherland, this actually works. I've been working for my current client for two weeks now and the contract has only just been signed. We can do a lot in contracts, but I can't accidentally sign myself away into slavery. I can't be expected to work for no pay when I'm not the one who fucked up.

And in this climate, $25k outstanding balance is not that unusual; I invoice monthly, and the client usually has a month to pay. So with $10k invoices, by the time the next invoice goes out the door, it could be $20k. Though in a jurisdiction with less legal structure and protection, I can imagine monthly invoices would be way too risky. But even then, if your invoices, are bigger, you can still easily get into this situation.

But again, it strongly depends on where you live. What's totally reasonable in one place, could be insanity in the next.
diesel cars emissions are actually an order of magnitude higher than most current standards, so if they remain within Euro 6 boundaries that would be great news. Apparently that is the case now for new cars in the market since Sep/2015.

Unfortunately many (most?) diesel cars being sold today still emit far in excess of the Euro 6 specification in real-world conditions.

The EQUA air quality index assigns ratings (A to H) to vehicles based on how they perform in real world conditions. The number of diesel models that are getting G or H grades (indicating they emit at least 12X more NOx than the Euro 6 specification allows) is quite alarming:

Uber has struck a partnership with Daimler to host Daimler's (hypothetical) self driving cars on Uber's ridesharing service, and they could strike similar partnerships with other Autonomous vehicle providers. So should Uber fail to develop their own AVs, that's one alternative model. Alternately, they could license the technology from Intel (which recently acquired Mobileye at a whopping $15 billion). These options may be suboptimal to vertically integrating the hardware, software and services under one company, but it's better than death.

But Uber is in 400-something cities worldwide, it'll be a long time before Robotaxis reach market saturation everywhere, it'll require millions of autonomous fleet vehicles to do that. One advantage that Uber has over a traditional automaker entering the space is that Uber can, at the outset, use autonomous vehicles to augment human driven networks. If a company such as Ford, say, cannot provide enough robotaxis to meet demand in a given locale, then their network won't be reliable and it'll just piss off customers. Uber won't have that problem, their network of human drivers will always be able to fill in gaps in service.

A lot would have to go wrong for Uber to be displaced entirely. We can only guess as to what the demand for autonomous rideshare will ultimately be, but it could easily be 10x, or even 100x what the demand for conventional rideshare ever was.

Although even amongst rideshare companies, both Lyft and Didi are looking more interesting. Didi has secured $5 billion in new capital and will likely be making some high profile AV start-up acquisitions out of their Silicon Valley office soon, and will be partnering with some Chines automaker to bring robotaxis to Asia. Lyft has a secure partnership with GM, the most exciting developer of L4 out there at the moment, given that Cruis automation is making dramatic progress using the Chevy Bolt platform, the first long range mass-market electric vehicle to go into production.
Just occurred to me that I've lived in the US for decades and have never heard gunfire (outside of a range), and have never seen any violent crime despite working in a few major cities.

Not disputing crime exists, but just, this place is vast, so there are lots of different experiences.

what will people do with their garages

For existing houses people will use them as storage space, or convert them to an additional room, or just ignore them.

New houses will be built without them. And, maybe more interestingly, without driveways..
Not quite. Windows uses a case insensitive API on top of a case sensitive file system.

FUN FACT: As of 2017, Windows 10 is (partially) binary-compatible to Ubuntu Linux. Any application that was originally compiled for Linux will still be case sensitive when running on Windows 10.

This isn't about tax havens, it's about the fact that US law levies taxes on corporate income earned anywhere in the world.

So iPhones sold in Sweden or France (not tax havens) generate tax liability in the US. This tax is only due when the profits of those sales are brought back to the US. Companies like Apple therefore have an incentive to keep overseas profits generated outside the US.

Tablet market falls for ten straight quarters
I think Uber's proposed advantage here, the relationship with the driver, is the easiest part of this equation to replace. After the recent Uber debacles I finally switched to Lyft. The switch took me about 4 minutes and has been absolutely painless.

If Apple, as an example, suddenly had "Get a ride" from Apple's own self-driving cars in my Maps app, and it charged me through my already connected Apple Pay, I would have no problem switching.

I think Apple and Google are best situated to take advantage of this market change as they own the platform that makes the ordering of a ride happen. And they can put their own service front-and-center.

Uber's advantage, existing (tenuous) relationships, is the easiest to replace.

Makes me wonder what they require to classify the bug as a security bug. Perhaps it gets classified otherwise since there's no data leakage other than an address? The existence of an address isn't exactly confidential.
Good point. I'd say a good percentage actually use their garage for thei car. Others just fill them up with stuff/junk.
Wireless Batman: Playing Nice Through Channel Blacklisting
Similar experiences. Worked on a project, and a 'lead' guy left with .. a few weeks of a node/koa codebase in place that only he really knew. Between the rest of us we had loads of C#, PHP and Java experience (multiples years each over 3 people).

"Let's rebuild something based on what the bulk of us already know," I suggested. (Keep in mind what we had was a few weeks of prototype code that was not in production.)

"No, I really want to learn more node," was the only other input, and that 'won' the decision. 18 months later... "yeah, koa isn't really a goof fit for our use cases".
Highly recommend (I read the physical book). It picks up after the first 100 pages or so.
Certainly, I think it is borderline madness that entities such as facebook are being called out in the current "fake news" discussion, this is far from anything new and does not come from media centralization or the internet.

Great advice. Another point (related to 4) is don't trust your oven to tell you when it's up to temperature. The oven is measuring the air temperature and not the temperature of the stone/steel. I always make sure to give it about 40 minutes to heat up.

Facebook culls “tens of thousands” of fake accounts ahead of UK election
Correct. Let's say you implement RSA2048 and server-side reject all other algorithms. Then during a security audit the crypto guy points out that RSA2048, while not broken per se, is not up to the generally-accepted 128-bit security threshold. You should use RSA-3078+ or switch to ECDSA. You decide to switch to ECDSA for the space savings. But what about all the deployed clients? Well since it's not actually broken, you continue to accept RSA-2048 for the next couple of years until something else permanently breaks support for old clients. Supporting client-specified algorithms lets you do a safe, phased-in upgrade without breaking compatibility or any fancy engineering.
I know I'm in the minority about this, but I still prefer callbacks. In one common case, you're only doing one or two async things in a given area of the code, and in that case the async primitive you choose doesn't really matter. In another common case, you're doing a lot of async things that depend on each other's outcomes. In that case, I find that it's easier to build a reusable pattern for handling the specific type of async interaction you have using callback-based functions, whereas with promises and async/await, you tend to try to write straight line code that can't be reused and hides the asynchrony in a way that makes it difficult to debug.
Both halves of the sentence contain wrong and rendundant statements. Since truth is a relation of correspondence between a proposition and reality and knowledge is justified true belief or it is not knowledge; it is both impossible for us to know untruths if we believe them to be true (we can believe falsehoods but we can only know truth), and likewise truths, being essentially propositions, cannot not be known (can only be known by someone, or there is no one proposing them therefore no truth relation subsists - ergo no 'truth' can be wholly unknown to everyone.)

You may say instead:
A lot we believe is not true, and we don't know much.
In summation:

Be respectful.

Don't make assumptions.

An interesting read, nevertheless.
10 Fatal Mistakes Investors Make

Regarding value: this is a complex subject. Within bubbles, I think value outside bubbles is often unfairly minimized. See American politics, for example. Most Democrats think ALL Republicans are stupid science-hating climate-change deniers, while most Republicans think ALL Democrats are history-deaf socialists. Neither mindset is true, but you'd never know it if you remain trapped in the other bubble.

But on a personal level, everyone's different. I have an internal alarm that goes off when I feel like I've been thinking a certain way for too long.

Now that I'm thinking about it, they didn't really describe Chinese food as upscale. But more as like a treat. We're super spoiled here in America with all these different kinds of cuisines.

ITP the best Chinese restaurant IMO is Chong Qing Hot Pot in Chamblee. We had good meals at Northern China Eatery on Buford Highway, but Chong Qing is way better.

I'll edit this with the best Korean restaurant when I can get back with my roomie on where it moved to. -- edit, sorry he doesn't know himself. But the original restaurant we used to go to is called Yet Tuh. The owner got fed up with the small space and moved the staff out to the sticks.

Why wouldn't a family have three cars in the garage? One for you, one for you spouse and the one for the kids to get to school or soccer practice or even their friend's house to play after school? Sure it's "inefficient" but the time efficiency of having a car ready to bring them home the instant you call has a premium value to many. if you take the driving out of the equation, I expect the average car becomes dramatically less expensive, performance is purely there for human emotions.

I guess the authors idea of

2. Running it against a known dump of leaked data, with passwords etc

3. Try logging in to google account with the leaked password, hoping the user reuses passwords

Google encourages their users to use 2FA and has other measures to detect when logins are coming from unknown locations, so I guess they figured the risk of this was pretty low

Yeah. When you think of it in broader historical terms America is a young country. Even given that our early houses never had garages of cousre because there were no cars then. Only when cars became the standard mode of transportation did we start to have garages.

So to put it in American perspective again, maybe garages will be like barns. Eventually less will be built by the masses, some will be torn down, some will be converted, and some will stay up until they crumble.

Recent US spy satellites such as PAN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA-207) have started using much, much more aggressive manoeuvring strategies in order to do line-of-site microwave dish spying and spying on commercial sats.

This is unusual for "geostationary" satellites, as it wastes precious fuel. If there is no restriction on the amount of fuel used, they can stay up a lot longer than a normal satellite could.
