Also not GP, but I also have notes per-day.

If you organize by topic, you have to decide which topic to put information in. This means you have to pause and think for 10 seconds about your organization system before writing anything. 10 seconds is enough to lose your train of thought.

If you organize by time, you don't have to decide where to put it. It always goes in "today". You have to pause for 0 seconds.
It's not that easy. Even the first question in iTunesConnect explicitly states you must answer "yes" even if you just make use of the built-in HTTPS libraries in the OS. If you start digging into the various guidelines you open a can of worms of recursive cross-references between documents and sections. Nowhere have I seen a statement that says "if you just use os HTTPS, you don't have to do anything". At the very least you may have to consider if you have to submit various annual self-classification reports.

For an app like this I could easily see a serious company deciding to skip the hassle and CYA, instead of potentially taking on a huge legal risk. Would you, as a regular worker-bee developer, be OK with personally signing off and accepting a legal risk on behalf of a large company without involving expensive lawyers to evaluate the validity of your opinion on this legalese? Would that be a responsible action to take?

Just one example: If you lose those livable-wage blue-collar jobs, you're absolutely gonna have yourself some thriving criminal enterprises including the drug trade. Does Wee-Bey go to work as a Barksdale soldier if he can easily get a good-paying job at the port or in some kind of manufacturing?

> My little heuristic is to double the number. For every person counted there's at least one wishing for work but given up enough to not report.

Why are you using a simplistic heuristic that assumes a constant relationship between the headline unemployment figure and other measures when the other measures are measured and published alongside the headline figure? (The measure you seem to prefer, unemployed plus discouraged workers as a share of labor force plus discouraged workers, is published as U4; headline unemployment is U3.)

A little background information on Detroit. When housing prices crashed in 2008 the house evaluations for tax purposes did not get lowered. Savvy people were able to get a lawyer and appeal to get their taxes lowered.

People would fall behind and their houses were sold to investors at auction. The investors would rent out the houses for three years without paying taxes. Then using a different corporation buy the house back three years later paying a fraction of the back tax bill and begin anew.

Loveland Technologies is trying to break that cycle. They've got a mobile app along with mapping the houses facing foreclosure and they're trying to recruit people to canvas neighborhoods to educate those living in houses facing foreclosure. There are programs to help them, programs to enable renters to buy the houses they live in but no one is educating people.

In Detroit when people are evicted what happens lots of times is strippers move in removing anything of value, even stripping plumbing and wiring out of the walls to sell the copper. Eventually arsonists set the house on fire and this is slowly destroying Detroit neighborhoods. Sadly city and country government aren't doing anything about it.
Daily standups make me focus on what sounds good to be doing for the next standup. A one line bug that drags on for weeks can be magnified at those meetings.

This article is about how Juan Benet's Protocol Labs is getting into cryptocurrencies to fund protocol development. The basic idea seems be that a new protocol will have a cryptocurrency attached to it that will capture some of the value the protocol provides, and this will provide funds for developing additional new protocols.

In addition, if I understand it correctly, they are developing a way of making investing in the development of new protocols into securities that ordinary people can buy, instead of raising funds from VC's.

Why aren't property owners doing something about it (which might include just not evicting people when they are legally able to, since clearly there is a high cost to doing so)?

JOE KENNEDY, a famous rich guy in his day, exited the stock market in timely fashion after a shoeshine boy gave him some stock tips. He figured that when the shoeshine boys have tips, the market is too popular for its own good, a theory also advanced by Bernard Baruch, another vested interest who described the scene before the big Crash:

"Taxi drivers told you what to buy. The shoeshine boy could give you a summary of the day's financial news as he worked with rag and polish. An old beggar who regularly patrolled the street in front of my office now gave me tips and, I suppose, spent the money I and others gave him in the market. My cook had a brokerage account and followed the ticker closely. Her paper profits were quickly blown away in the gale of 1929."
Do you remember the time when slow webpages with megabytes of ads in popups/iframes were killing the web? When almost every webpage was trying to get you install their half-baked mobile apps?

AMP webpages are fast and responsive. Publishers that don't use AMP now have to make their webpages fast. Competition is good for the user and the web.

Android Browser wasn't Chrome on Android.
I actually didn't have a huge problem with McNulty's arc or twist. It was outlandish but it feels organic not just from a character perspective, but from the rift between homicide detectives and the medical examiners office. In Simon's book, "Homicide", there's a chapter focusing on a death that the coroner declines to classify as a homicide. The detective, however, keeps pursuing the case, which is problematic because there are plenty of active homicide cases to spend time on. He eventually cracks the case but it's presented as the detective going above and beyond given the politics/concerns of the department.

So a "good guy" detective like McNulty fabricating evidence seems like an extreme twist, but not so much the idea that a good guy detective feels that some homicides aren't given enough attention. And McNulty, by this point in the show, feels like a character who is tired of all this shit but also has seen how he's gotten away with being a self-righteous dick who bucks the bureaucracy (from the very first episode). And the difference in opinion between the medical examiner and the police can be very problematic, since the former's designation is what ultimately makes a case a homicide or not.

IMO, the 5th season is the worst because of the newspaper setting. As a journalist, it wasn't particularly compelling to me. I mean, it may be the most realistic depiction of a newspaper on TV, and maybe familiarity breeds contempt, but the core problem is that it's not well-developed. The key flaw is that the "villains" of the newspaper setting, Scott Templeton (the reporter) and his enabling editors, are given no qualities beyond being caricatures of bad/evil journalists. This is the same reason why I feel Lieutenant Marimow (named after a Baltimore Sun whom Simon despised) is also a very weak character.

Compare the shallowness of the 5th season bad-guy journalists to the 3rd-season bad guy politicians, like Clay Davis. Davis is most definitely a corrupt character, but besides having an amazing catchphrase ("Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-iiiit!"), he's still got some moral complexity behind him. I think this is best shown in the hilarious scene in the 5th season in which he takes the stand in his corruption trial with such dramatic finesse that he gets acquitted. Davis may be corrupt, but you can see why his community loves him. [0]

I'm not sure how you could make the 5th season journalists interesting, and I'm not sure Simon could either. His rants against the real-life Marimow and the Sun are lengthy and legendary [1], and this was after he was famous for The Wire. Simon is a die-hard defender of the sanctity of journalism and I think he let that overtake his sensibilities when writing the 5th season.

I've been bought twice. Each time the acquiring firm's bureaucracy was massively impactful. It's not done intentionally- larger companies need the structure. I have always thought of it as "gearing" - as in a large gear can make a small gear turn very fast simply by barely moving. Or put another way what happens when everyone in the larger company just needs 10 minutes of your time? You are booked for six months.
You seem to be operating under the assumption that all password managers are netbased and commercially operated.

This is not the case for PasswordSafe, not the case for the various Keepass implementations out there, and not the case for several other, lesser known projects.

I am a happy, contended and reasonably safe KeepassX user since many years ago. While I do see the point of two factor auth in certain situations, I sincerely hop and pray it never takes off in a mandatory big way, uncalled for annoyance as it is in most cases. My 36 character passwords usually do the job just fine.
You're missing the point. Once you've clicked on the link, it's too late. Putting an icon on the link that says "this isn't one of those bloated pages" seems useful, particularly for people on slow connections.

In theory, someone else could create another standard and write browser extensions to put an icon on links that meet that standard.

The HTML standard doesn't help with this, not by itself, anyway.
"Horribly designed and ridiculously bloated" describes the majority of popular websites. If companies won't fix their shit, somebody else will come along and do it for them.
I wonder if the heat-bound nature of especially mobile CPUs these days could contribute to memory "catching up" to CPU performance. That is, the CPU idle while waiting for memory could be seen as necessary for heat dissipation and so you could consider the CPU at capacity.

Nothing. We now use CloudFlare on the $200/month plan. :)

My point is more CloudFlare Enterprise vs Akamai.

The prices quoted to us for Enterprise were ridiculous. Sometimes when a vendor starts off with prices not even in the ballpark of Akamai there's no point even engaging.

For what it's worth, while CF is reasonable for DSA (haven't enabled Argo yet, so...) their performance is erratic.

Akamai/EdgeCast are more predictable because the Argo-like component is built in.

Not to mention CF cached content serving speeds aren't great. And they don't cache large files on non-Enterprise.

I think something like CF $200 plan plus Argo plus their load balancing product is very powerful and hard to beat. But you still need something to run your downloads from (you can get EdgeCast on a non commit month to month from Speedyrails for that or whatever -- CloudFront also a shitty option.)

Also, I hate dealing with sales people in general and I find CF sales people more irritating than usual. Akamai sales also suck. The nicest sales people I've ever dealt with were EdgeCast pre Verizon acquisition. Also Cotendo before Akamai.
You can't meaningfully brute force a ~70^20+ possibility random password. It's harder than brute forcing 256 bit RSA encryption.
Definintely not a boat guy, but last time I was near the water I saw a cruise liner take off, I noticed the lifeboats were more like 'life capsules' .. they were completely enclosed and (total speculation from that fact) presumably some kind of 5-point harness for the passengers so capsizing overall isn't really a danger.. Passengers would just spin around a while until conditions improve, and the boat will right itself from whatever ballast it does have.. since the goal of the lifeboat isn't to 'go' anywhere, it doesn't need to be so upright as to support a sail like here..

Prior to these accidents pilots were trained to avoid stalls and unusual attitudes rather than learning how to recover from them, not least of which is lack of simulator fidelity when outside the flight envelope, which was cited as a factor in the AF 447 accident. While they did know alternate law applied, they didn't know why and the flight computer didn't give them sufficient information to figure this out quickly, and the indications they were getting (speed, attitude, c-chord warning, stall warning) pretty much confused all of them.
The "IKEA Effect" was not designed as such, it was stumbled on accidentally. The reason IKEA furniture is assembly-required is the same reason that your monitor stand comes detached from the monitor: because these companies operate on the principle that their products be flatpackable (minimize shipping dimensions).

> NIST have an interesting history around security. One such example would be AES. They favored Rijndael over Serpent, despite Serpent clearly winning on technical merit.

Rijndael won because cryptography is first and foremost a discipline that makes tradeoffs between usability and security. A security measure is not helpful if no one uses it, either because it's a pain in the ass to configure or because it increases your own costs to implement and use. Serpent is technically more secure because it uses 32 rounds of encryption (among other things) while Rijndael uses 10, 12 or 14 (depending on key size). But they're both substitution-permutation networks, and Rijndael is secure enough while offering a significant speed increase. There hasn't been a meaningful cryptanalysis on Rijndael since it was published.

> You can even use this to defeat keyloggers. Open up a prompt that you can type in, then type a bunch of a character. Then use your mouse to select the number of characters that represents your buffer character length, or a portion of it. Then copy-paste as required. Keyloggers will capture cntr-v but they won't capture how many characters you selected.

I don't really follow. If a keylogger has compromised your machine, you're already approaching worst-case scenario territory. More importantly, of course a keylogger can capture how many characters you select. Even if they didn't, they can just capture exactly what's in the browser form field before it's sent in the login request.

>You can only be as fast as the slowest link

Only if that "slowest links" takes a large part of your processing time.

If you have a program that reads some data and passes them to a much faster foreign function (e.g. Python passing to a C extension) to do some calculation, then your "slowest link" (in this case, Python) wont matter much.

The program will still be many times faster than if the calculation had been written in pure Python.

The appstore-only policy is probably what has kept iOS from having any noteworthy large outbreak of malware. Unfortunately, the Darwin kernel as well as the various iOS frameworks have huge glaring security vulnerabilities patched in every minor update. A free-for-all unvetted code-exec option would open the floodgates for deceptive downloads and compromised iOS devices.

Of course, it also makes good business sense for both Apple and third party developers as it keeps piracy to a minimum (though I'm sure a subset of 3rd party developers might find skipping the 30% Apple cut valuable)
It's worth pointing out Cloudflare has a competing AMP serving tool: https://www.cloudflare.com/website-optimization/accelerated-...

I don't think it's reasonable to compare the risk profile of a hydrogen airship to an airliner that uses kerosene in metal tanks (that are now filled with nitrogen as they empty, just in case) and has fire suppression systems in the engines.
Thanks for posting this. I was convinced that Delaunay triangulation was a good example of irregular parallelism - something that fundamentally doesn't work well on a GPU, and have been telling people this for years, so I'll look forward to reading the paper.

Agreed. If it takes a week to make a line change it'd be very unusual IMHO if the entire team were not aware by that point of some the challenges involved. It may even warrant a short presentation on the technical challenges and how the issue was tracked down or solved; good learning opportunity.

On the other hand, if somebody is constantly disappearing for a week+ with a low complexity ticket, gives cagey standup updates, and then submits a PR that looks like it was thrown together in an hour.. That's a red flag that needs attention.
A close is an alleyway off which one or more doors to residential tenements open. Alternative names are entry, court, and wynd, with some nuances: a court is more likely to open up into a courtyard, and a wynd more likely to be a means of getting from A to B, rather than just somewhere people live.
> given that America traditionally imagines herself as classless, you'd almost expect these two to be reversed.

In my view more that americans of all classes view themselves in some way as part of an unified 'rebellious'/'underdog' class.. so most anything that sticks out as having any pretence is 'elitist'.. nevermind that this attitude itself has it's own flavor of pretense to false-humility.. but I digress..
Unless you have an inverter type microwave it's always full power when cooking at 10% it's actually just 10% active time with the magnetron running full blast. As a tool, a microwave is like a blunt instrument unless you have the nicer microwaves. 10% is akin to running the flame to ultra high and only putting the skillet down 6 seconds every minute. Not efficient and not good technique. Coupled with the fact that microwaves operate by exciting the water molecules in the food and you have uneven cooking if there is a large discrepancy between the water content of different foods on the same plate. Finally, without special gear, you can't really brown or crisp anything in the microwave so the end result is more mushy than most people desire.

I could make the same argument that Apple cripples iOS Safari's implementations of emerging standards that aim to bring the web experience closer to a "native feel" to keep its app store revenue churning:

...but really it's a lot more likely that getting _all_ things right on _all_ platforms is the really, really hard thing about the web, for browser vendors and web developers alike.

If malware has compromised your device, there is nothing you can meaningfully do to improve the security that is already offered by a password manager. This scenario is right up there with physical access to the machine - you're already screwed.

To comment on this specific example - if you add the same set of characters to every item in a password manager, an attacker can deduce that it's a common obfuscation method.
