Personally written organization helps me. I like to use Trello to organize my thoughts. When you get an idea, write a quick note to get it out of your head so you can stop thinking about it. It's written down, you now have the freedom to let go and attend to it later. Schedule specific time to look at that list and put it on your Calendar so you don't forget. "I don't need to think about that right now, I made time on Sunday afternoon to prioritize and pick out which ideas are worth it." or "I will only check my ideas for things to refactor when I have a lull in my schedule, but I'm busy right now."

Also on the tower of ideas-- it's not a to-do list, you don't have to commit to every idea that flies through your head. Your ideas are a great resource for you to reach for any time you need it. A lake of ideas you only need to go fishing in when you happen to want to.

I doubt you rewrote a vulnerability scanner from scratch, since it takes years and a lot of efforts to do, so why don't you tell us a bit more about the technology behind it. Does it use ZAP? Arachni? W3AF? OpenVAS? SQLMap? All of them?

Also, I'd be careful about such claims:

> Our scans are secure and non-intrusive.

Because you never know what will happen in the backend when you hit that "GET /article/delete/1" endpoint while spidering the home page. Tons of poorly coded webapps have that kind of trap, and you should scan staging/test instances whenever possible to avoid dropping a production DB whenever you hit one of those.
The mortgage bubble was exclusively created by the very explicit government subsidy on mortgage interest. Regular people defaulting on homes is both allowed and rational behavior. It's not illegal, and blaming people for it misses the point entirely.

The aggregate effect of the mortgage interest tax credit, on the housing market however, is highly dependent on how much income tax can be written off with it, which is itself highly dependent on how much income middle america makes. This is a volatile figure.

Banks have to have limited liability in order to function. They accomplish this limited liability through explicit hedges called insurance policies.

Insurers, unfortunately, have no such requirements to limit their liability, and in this case were liable for VASTLY more than they were worth.

The problem is that this is a rational strategy. As soon as your liability goes beyond what your company is actually worth, it no longer makes any sense to try to limit your liability on other investments. In fact you want to take on as much liability as possible. If someone gives you a loan which you could never repay, then rational behavior dictates that you go to vegas and put the entire sum of the loan on red. If you win, you pay your loan back, and if you lose, you declare bankruptcy.

The only problem with this is that it is fraud. This is where the story gets interesting, because the only thing required for the insurers to maintain plausible deniability in the event of a default on their massively overleveraged positions was for an "independent third party" to call the investments that they intended to insure "triple A".

Regardless of whether or not those agencies were truly independent, the fact is that they are an unacceptable point of failure.
I still hope for his success, primarily because I don't have any faith in the competition. Elon is driven by ideas and his businesses are only the most direct means to the end. The same cannot be said about other players in the sector. He's not the only one on the planet who uses wealth for something more than making more wealth, but those people are quite rare and I believe they deserve to be supported.
But Kotlin was farrrrrrrrrr from a "most used library". The risk of an unsupported language being used is much, much greater than using an unsupported library. Libraries are non-trivial to remove from your code, but should not be tied to your code to the point that you will be required to completely rewrite your application like you would if you ran into issues with the language it's written in.

China advances mining of nat gas hydrates “flammable ice”
See my follow up comment about the Nuremberg zoo. There it's on record they regularly use diazepam (in way too high doses even on pregnant dolphins) and synthetic progestogen to deal with the anti-social behavior of males, quite regularly. The director himself doesn't even deny it, claiming it's good for the animal's appetite, which is normally considered a side-effect (from the süddeutsche article)

Keep in mind that this is the very same director (he's director of the Nuremberg Zoo, Berlin doesn't have any dolphins) who demanded a dolphin breeding program gets started in Nuremberg to attract more visitors, even tho nobody on the staff had any experience with something like that. [0]

The very same director who thinks staff shouldn't intervene when dolphins attack each other because "that wouldn't happen in nature" [0], never mind that in nature these animals have quite a bit more room to evade each other than a somewhat bigger swimming pool.

>Recent evidence indicates that chimpanzees (and likely other cognitively advanced social species) also change their behavior when they get more than a partner, at least when their partner has some recourse.

I wonder if this is our current problem with inequality today. The poor don't have any real recourse against the rich and the rich know that. Sometimes I wonder if all this is a result of the decrease in church attendance (Note: I am not religious). We used to have a communal meeting ground where people across class came together once a week and were able to mingle, speak with and over long time periods form strong relationships/friendships with those who were not of the same class. We're much more socially stratified today.
Azure surpasses AWS as the public cloud of choice
Sleep doesn't involve destruction of your body, however. The kind of teleportation discussed here, does. And while you can't be sure, upon waking, whether you're the same person who fell asleep, if your body is destroyed you can be absolutely certain you won't be the person that wakes up on the other side.

Also, both Teslas and several hybrid car manufacturers report power figures that are physically impossible to obtain in the actual car - either because the battery can't deliver enough power, or because of arithmetically summing power figures of two motors that attain peak power at very different operating points.

Case in point, you quote the actual P100D measured power as 588hp, but the marketing wank says it's 760hp. That's a big difference.

There was a class-action lawsuit by 126 owners in Norway against Tesla over this on the P85D, and over the fact that they use "rolling start" 0-60 times; Tesla settled that in dec. 2016, compensated the owners, and changed their Norwegian marketing. (Wikipedia Model S page has references under the "Controversies" heading.)
I agree. But source/destination isn't the only way that ISPs discriminate. They can also discriminate based on the type/protocol of content (when revealed). See the way they used traffic shaping with bittorrent, what was that 8 years ago now? That was communication between peers, potentially within the same ISP.

e2e encryption mitigates the impact ISPs can have when looking at the protocol/contents. But there is still work to be done to prevent them (without regulation) from having an impact based on source/destination without going the TOR (or similar) route.
"Unions have been trying infiltrate Tesla for awhile now. They have the most to gain by disseminating false information."

It could equally be disseminated by the Big Three (who have done stuff like this before) or by shorters (likewise).

Or it could be all true.

Everyone I know uses property management companies.

Everyone I know who uses property management companies would describe it like regular expressions. I.e. I became a landlord and now I have a problem in that I have to deal with tenants.

I tried to solve that problem with a management company.

Now I have two problems.

Management companies are not a panacea. Many suck. The rest are expensive.

And nothing stops a tenant from vandalizing your home and skipping town.

As far as I'm concerned being a landlord is a sucker's game.

Oh, preachin' to the choir with that : my company's SaaS service is deployed across 10 or so tin boxes that I personally screwed together from Supermicro parts; humming in a faceless DC in Santa Clara with a backhoe sat in the far corner of the parking lot..

What I mean is : if you make a list of "shit that's wrong with my crafted good selling business", "how the servers are made" wouldn't be in the top 10 things to worry about. The fact that they're arguing that said servers should be sourced in a very cost-inefficient way makes it even more odd.

Puppet vs Salt/Ansible is old story, they're compared as applied to config management.

Anthony is bringing a different angle here: how Salt / Ansible / StackStorm compare as event driven frameworks,
applied to all-purpose automation, aka GLUE. Puppet/Chef aren't even playing.

Do you see this relevant? Or do you think "Salt beacons, who cares?" Why?
There's lots of continuation styles & libraries, but most are delimited continuations.

In my opinion, delimited ones are far cleaner to implement and to work with than the more universal continuations of Scheme. call/cc, as a product of Scheme's efforts on simplicity[1], has to encompass a larger amount of low-level state than most real-world uses of it use (and it's used far less frequently in "real applications" than academically). Having a better suite of flow control forms and keeping continuations delimited has far less constraints on the design of the runtime and leads to more focused and explicit operation without a bunch of implicit unused implications hanging around.

[1 = simplicity as in fewer built-in operations]

Poloniex has a duty of care to its customers.

Poloniex should suspend the trading of ByteCoin until it can be determined whether or not the bug has been exploited, as some reports indicate:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6buu5j/disclosure_o...

It's surprising that an exchange like Poloniex would allow trading in potentially fradulent ByteCoins to continue.

https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_bcn

However, in Poloniex's defense, they could argue that the security disclosure just 24 hours ago has not given them enough time to respond, and that up until now they were only ever aware of a (fake) DoS bug impacting CryptoNote coins, rather than a critical vulnerability.

https://getmonero.org/2017/05/17/disclosure-of-a-major-bug-i...

2017-02-21: The patch is surreptitiously snuck into the Monero codebase in pull request #1744. It is kept secret to prevent it being used to attack other CryptoNote coins.

2017-02-22: A point release of Monero is rushed out so that exchanges and mining pools can update, under the guise of it preventing a RingCT DoS attack (such attack did not exist, but it seemed a fair explanation).
That $15,000 server is leased across 36 months becoming an OpEx expenditure. On the accounting side this is no different than AWS. So let's say you buy two for failover.

A) Colo is $50-150/U with blended top tier bandwidth, 99th% billing and usually includes remote hands time.

B) Even with 100% redundancy you're still ahead by $3000/month. Please understand Amazon offers absolutely no redundancy built in and nodes go down regularly. It is up to you as a developer to build redundancy around the tools they offer.

C) Amazon doesn't take backups for you. You have to pay for this either way.

D) Again Amazon doesn't handle this for you. You have to pay either way. Buying an exact replica of the hardware I've mentioned and cololocating it elsewhere still puts you ahead by $3000/month.

E) What support do you need? Dell offers same day or even 4 hour parts replacement with the appropriate warranty service. Most Colos offer remote hands for free up to a certain hourly.

F) Lots of ways to handle this. You can use IPMI, built in OS tools, etc. There isn't much exclusive to AWS you can't easily replicate elsewhere.

G) I never said not to use Amazon for anything. In fact you should be building your applications for scaleability INTO the cloud. This is part of the idea behind the whole microservices movement.
Yes, that's the point being made.
Having lived (and appreciated) Europe and their cars:

Edit, you're using the right gallon.
To be fair, if a scanning tool running anonymously can muck up your webapp by hitting "GET /article/delete/1" then they did successfully find a problem with your SaaS app.

TDD seems to be mentioned in a lot of responses here. I'm warming up to the idea but frankly not many folks I've come across in my (short, 3 year) career seem to understand tests really, definitely not TDD. So I've been having to learn the hard way.

My main thing with TDD right now is - how do I avoid writing tests that are too tightly coupled? I've gotten burned in the past, not even doing TDD, with tests that "know too much" and end up being more hassle than help.

Any good resources on TDD and general testing strategy that anyone can recommend?

>And a similar "supporting the economy" justification was used in defense of slavery, which you're still supporting in another form.

Seriously... I advocate people being more aware of where they get their food and cutting down on their meat intake and your first reflex is to compare it to advocating slavery? Sorry but behavior like that is exactly the reason why barely anybody likes vegans or takes them seriously.

Change doesn't happen in massive paradigm shifts, it happens slowly. You won't convince 7 billion people to stop consuming animal products from one day to another.

A few weeks ago I bought a Chevy Bolt EV...according to the dealer it was the first one sold in my state (Utah). I'd been on a waiting list for almost a year.

Sure, ICE engines are getting better, but EVs are rapidly gaining and will soon surpass. The Bolt is a bit expensive for a car of its body type, but "gassing up" at home is amazing, the 200+ mile range is great, and the sharply reduced emissions are a weight off the mind. It's also super quiet, as you would expect, and boy howdy does it have get-up-and-go. Sure, some of it is psychological because a) it's whisper quiet as it accelerates; b) the raft of batteries in the belly keeps that car planted to the road; and c) there's no pause to down-shift. But I've owned some fast cars[1], and this one feels like the fastest yet.

It's nice that ICE engines are improving, but between the Bolt, Tesla Model 3, and other soon-to-arrive practical EVs, I believe that the sunset of ICE is beginning.

I've always found it hard to believe that any human being that ever lived would even begin to understand the intentions of such an entity.

> It is impossible to separate the food industry from government interference, they are permanently symbiotically joined.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy this assertion of yours, and since we disagree on something so fundamental we're unlikely to be able to have a useful discussion.

> which is exactly what has happened in every unregulated industry in the history of the world.

This is an extremely strong claim which requires extremely strong evidence. Do you have any?

> the entire crux of health care is not only that it is essential to living and therefore has an infinite price

By this logic any action which carries any risk of reducing your life span and is not absolutely necessary should not be done. Do you live your life that way? Does anyone?

> unfettered free market capitalism is the system where a rich man's dog eats 5 course gourmet meals while his poor neighbor's child dies of hunger

This certainly happens in systems that are regulated by governments--such as ours. Where is your evidence that it happens, and is worse, in systems that are not regulated by governments?

> if food is available but inaccessible to the poor

In a free market, what would prevent the poor from producing their own food? In the US, historically, this is how most people got their food--they grew it or hunted it or fished for it themselves. Or they lived in small communities where everyone knew each other personally, so they knew the people producing their food. Our current system, in which almost all of us are dependent on a small number of food producers whom we don't know and cannot influence on our own, is, as you appear to agree, a product of massive government regulation--combined, as you conveniently forgot to state, with massive regulatory capture on the part of the corporations that own most of the food production capacity.

Yes, the government inspects food to see that it doesn't contain harmful microbes--but people knew how to do that before the government got into the act (if not, humans would have gone extinct long ago from food poisoning). The government also subsidizes the production of high fructose corn syrup and factory farmed meat and poultry. It subsidizes wheat and corn so that most of the US's acreage goes to those crops instead of a greater and healthier variety. (And then it subsidizes ethanol from corn so that we can burn food in our cars while poor people starve.) I could go on and on. Why does the government do all these things? Because it has the power to do it, and that power can be bought, and has been.

Of course this system, now that it exists and we are all caught in it, is by no means simple to escape from. But that does not mean it was inevitable, nor that it is good.
You're missing the "non-intrusive" point that he was bringing up. While they did find a vulnerability, they went beyond the scope the had agreed to, which is the issue he's describing.
