I don't think that Canadian ISPs are in on this. In particular, almost all Canadian mobile customers are on Bell, TELUS, and Rogers. I'm on TELUS right now and I fail test-IPv6.com. Telus and Bell actually share much of their mobile network so I'm not sure Bell would fare better. And I was on Rogers as recently as 6 months ago and they didn't have IPv6 either. And my home ISP, a small fibre ISP, doesn't have IPv6.
If there were a way for them to cash out, and go somewhere "better", that might be attractive. OTOH, all of their friends probably still live nearby -- esp if they've been there for 20+ years. Tough to pick up and go. I'm trying to imagine an incentive.
I spent half of this week researching industrial food processing methodologies and the cleanliness you can get to is obviously unhealthy. It's like humans look at biology and see 10 major pathogens and over-optimize for that chunk of biology what-ifs they better understand due to macro effect. They then shut their eyes and bury their heads in the ... chemically clean and white fluffy pillow, eat a salad bathed in chlorine, sit inside in air conditioning, and wonder why they get ill. Let them eat dirt.
Much like the Indian viper massacre or many similar pay for kills schemes.

Tinfoil hat me wonders if it was a miniscule cost jobs program to curry favor with locals, even though this would never be acknowledged.
I immediately thought of Peter Wright's bio [1]:

> The Registry employed enormous numbers of girls to maintain efficient delivery of files within the building, as well as the massive task of sorting, checking, and filing the incoming material. In Kell's day the Registry Queens, as they were known, were recruited either from the aristocracy or from the families of MI5 officers. Kell had a simple belief that this was the best vetting of all. [...]

> By the early 1970s the staffing of the Registry had become a major problem for MI5. There were more than three hundred girls employed and with the surge of file collection at that time the pressure for more recruits was never-ending. Openly advertising was considered impossible. Yet it was becoming very difficult to recruit this number of girls, let alone vet them properly. In at least one case, the Communist Party managed to infiltrate a girl into the Registry, but she was soon discovered and quietly sacked. This problem, rather than dissatisfaction with the increasingly antiquated filing system itself, finally pushed MI5, belatedly, into accepting a computerized [sic] Registry.

As the quote hints, large landholdings and a family with long standing ties to the country (i.e. old money) are great ways to ensure loyalty, both emotional and financial, and loyalty is much more precious than ability in intelligence work.

The Cambridge Five were a very public (and rare, if costly) failure of this system, and Yuri Modin (their handler) claims [2] that the tension between the middle class, Scottish-accented John Cairncross and his upper class colleagues was part of what pushed him over.

The British merchant banks' eventual deaths at the hands of meritocratic American ones is strong evidence that this is not a good system in areas where ability is more valuable than trust.

[2] Yuri Modin, My Five Cambridge Friends - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Five-Cambridge-Friends-Cairncross-C... - Modin died a hero in Moscow after a prestigious career including heading the KGB's Active Measures department, so it could be mostly disinformation, but his observations on human character are still great.
when you climb high grades the rock becomes extremely difficult to navigate and 'grip'. The common example is stacking 2-3 credit cards on top of each other and looking at the edge from the top - thats the size of the rock people are holding onto and stepping on with all their weight. In some cases you won't even have a flat piece of rock to step on, imagine climbing a brick wall. Asides from the difficulty, there are obvious elements such as high winds when you're at that altitude, mist, rain, wildlife, etc.
can I just use up all my yellow ink to solve the problem?
Can't say I agree with all of this, but the part about how ownership and control is separate in a corporation - and how this can be a problem - resonates with me...

Very briefly, my feeling is owners have become so faceless and indirect that executives and boards have sort of "broken loose" and created "their own class", effectively answering to no-one. I suspect that this breeds a "political" work environment, and a kind of inequality that is more difficult to accept psychologically (than the old owner-worker divide): that some people are paid hundreds of times more for what is essentially their labor, and have vastly greater opportunities, than others, mostly based on "who they know". It incentivizes a "you scratch my back; I scratch your's (at the owner's expense of course)" kind of economy.

Anybody feel similarly? Anybody better able to put it into words? :P
I think the point is git is becoming the new svn for many people.
Yes. That's the price of saying bullying or shaming is a crime.

Interesting speculation. What's it based on?

I would love to see the outage postmortem. To be honest designing a completely redundant service today is just not that hard are compared to 10 years ago. The ability to load balance, route, us VMs/containers and move loads makes is fairly simple. In 1998 when I was building an backbone and ISP it was much harder. You had a ton of single points of failure by the nature of the hardware and software at the time. We purchased systems from Sun because of the quality of the HW and the stability of Solaris. Now a stack of cheap linux boxes with the right design (IP CLOS, BGP fabric, load balancing and containers) who cares if a switch fails or a rack goes out? Most issues today are caused my humans and bugs from software upgrades for new code.
I read it (correctly or not) as saying: "Travis started and runs the company, and his respect for women is well known and public. Of _course_ the people working in HR know this, and were quite likely selected/employed by him or one of his trusted douche-bros..."

Is it _not_ as obvious to everyone else as it seems to be to me?
It's just processing data; how does it matter if it was done by an algorithm or by a human?
Blocking a /64 is not even enough in many cases. I know a couple of server providers handing out a /48 per server. If routing is done the right way, you can pretty easily randomize your source address by making use of features like AnyIP and add a whole prefix to your network interface. I have written a small tool to demonstrate this: https://github.com/blechschmidt/freebind

Solutions to this problem that try to avoid penalizing other users sharing a prefix will certainly be interesting. Some approaches ban per /128 and extend this ban to a /64 if two or three addresses within the /64 got banned.
Which I can't imagine to be any more reliable than hosted GitHub.

But hey, I guess there's the comfort in know that when it goes down it's our fault!
Kind of?

How many servers did the average app depend on in 1998? 1? Get dual HD and you were in decent shape.

Compare to a modern microservice app, that maybe depends on 100 internal services and 4-5 external services. A lot of things need to go right or mostly right for things to function.
There's the convenience reason. Teams making that trade-off (not having a local mirror) need to understand they made GitHub itself a runtime dependency.

I tried it out yesterday, moving our unit tests from PhantomJS to headless. Short answer is it's not fully working yet, the browser still pops up with a blank interface window, but unit tests work as expected.

I tried out the PDF and screenshot stuff, but they didn't seem to be working on Windows yet. Remote debugging is fine, but as mentioned, you get the blank interface window, so it's not really headless yet.

Here's an online tool to explore the labor force participation rate over the past several decades:
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000

Since 1970, the rate has varied between 60% and 67%. It peaked at around 67% in 1998 and is currently around 63%.
Here's the link to the site if this makes more sense: http://www.productmentions.com

I got some comments on this about people not liking me throwing the url in here but figure it'd explain things better.

And also, this post isn't just about whether or not what I'm doing here is legal and ok, overall thoughts on it as well.
Exactly. There are no right/wrong or absolutes. It's a trade-off.. if it makes sense in someone's situation, it makes sense.
I've built a versoin of this app a few years ago before mobile was big and there are features that I've always wanted for my app that I just didn't get to before I had to move on. The big feature that I've really wanted is integration with my calendar, email, phone, IM, fb, etc... Why? So the system would be able to tell me when I need to interact with someone using something better than a timer. You will probably need a mobile app for some of this to work

There are also two people on IndieHackers who built a mobile version of this who you may want to talk to.

I also own the domain muchcloser if you're interested in it. Let me know if you want to talk.
This is good work. I thought there was no way to do this since Google Search blocks bots.
> personal relations are just another kind of task which is apt to make the people being related to feel devalued because they're not important enough to be given space in someone's day-to-day consciousness.

You seem to indicate that this devaluation is a sort of false accusation to which we should not make ourselves vulnerable.

Yet, that subordinate clause rings true to me as an independent statement.

Why should I let just any person (particularly family; none of mine know CS) occupy any nontrivial amount of space in my day-to-day consciousness; when such space could instead be used by something useful?
The smith machine is dangerous and suboptimal for most forms of training. If you want to do inverted rows as a stepping stone for pullups, go ahead. Otherwise, avoid them.

Dumbbells can be used for SSLP/SL, but are not ideal:

1) They make incremental loading, which is the core of these programs, very difficult. If you're lucky, your gym will have 2.5lb increments; if not, you may have to buy a pair of 2.5 magnet weights.

2) The lower body movements in these programs are most ideally performed with barbells; there aren't really good dumbbell analogues for squats, deadlifts, and especially power cleans.

However, for strength imbalances, especially in the upper body, they can be very helpful. Many trainees end up using dumbbell bench to this end. Dumbbell OHP/military press/Arnold press is also possible and probably good for hypertrophy of the upper back.

Ultimately, though, for the best results you'll want to do the programs as intended - with a barbell.
They don't financially back the 10k startups, it's just an online course where you get discounts on various online services.

Granted the online courses are supposedly very valuable, but the lack of face to face with YC's network and lack of available funding makes it hard to see how they can get away with the claim that they are "backing" 10k startups.

Edit: 200 people related to YC have volunteered to "mentor" the 10k companies. Let's assume 2 founders per company, that's 1 mentor for every 100 founders. And the course is 10 weeks long, so assuming the volunteers spend 40 hours a week for 10 weeks mentoring the founders (which they likely wont), that works out to be 4 hours per founder over the entire course.

Yeah, not the same as "backing" a company.
That's okay. RSA-4096 is suitable for long term secrets, but we're talking about authentication: typically signing short challenges, or DH key shares, for immediate verification. The requirements for that application are much lighter.
Reading existing code with a view to modifying it isn't really what people mean when they say you should "read code."
"Fair and balanced?"
Java also did it with 25x worse VM start times, 25x more security vulns, and a 25x more greedy and terrible company behind it (eventually). The legendary GC pause never helped. "Write once, run anywhere" then ironically becomes the specialty of Java...script.
I'm more concerned about the concurrent trends for (a) remotely accessible systems in vehicles, for communication or otherwise, and (b) critical vehicle systems being connected via relatively insecure internal networking to each other and to something remotely accessible.

Put another way, it's not a hostile actor remotely controlling their own vehicle that worries me the most, it's the potential for a hostile actor to identify a vulnerability that lets them remotely control many other people's vehicles simultaneously.

It's also the lack of any way for even a relatively discerning customer looking for a new car to determine how likely any potential purchase is to be vulnerable to such an attack and how likely the manufacturer would be to anticipate and/or respond to such a vulnerability.

Given the generally awful attitude of the auto industry to safety and generally poor processes for handling even recalls for widespread and acknowledged mechanical failures, buying a new car is not looking like a happy experience any time soon.
Screw any app that really thinks it needs my precise coordinates in the foreground, let alone the background. Turn-by-turn directions in maps is the only exception I've found in 10 years of iPhone use.
How is the GitHub marketplace a runtime dependency? Code review, project management, build bots or whatever else should NOT affect the availability of your website.
This is great stuff. My aunt would pay us to read books. We had to provide a hand-written summary/review to her to collect. I can't remember the exact amount - somewhere between $8 and $18 each.

One of the reasons why I think your uncle's gestures made such a big impact is that he made gestures that rewarded good things AND he wasn't a relative to many of the people he interacted with.

When I was about 10 yrs old one of my dad's best friends asked me about my grades and I was proud to say I got straight A's. He reached into his pocket and gave me a $5 bill which was a lot back then for a kid and I knew he didn't have a lot of money too. It was fun spending it at the arcade and also bragging a bit to other friends. :) I'll actually never forget that moment because it was the first one I can recall where a non-family member / non-teacher praised my grades.

The only other moment I can recall was from grade school when an older student used to hand out fireworks to those that showed their report card with straight As. You can imagine how all the top students rushed out of school ready to redeem their report card for some fireworks their parents would probably never buy except for maybe July 4th. Possibly dangerous but absolutely brilliant. A cheap fun reward that literally celebrates the accomplishment.

Most of us get told how special and amazing we are by our parents and family all the time growing up. Often times the praise isn't really deserved since we're special snowflakes. When a stranger, family friend or anyone not related gives praise or reward it can be extremely impactful and reinforce that we're on the right path and that it really does matter. Those moments get seared into our memories.

I'm working on figuring out how to do some sort of unannounced cash or gift reward to those with straight As with one of the local public schools.
Sounds like an argument against micro services?
Git supports multiple remote repositories. Have github be your main repo, keep a mirror locally or on another service (updated using hooks), and switch to it if github fails.
That was what the original poster was saying: Using the phone as the pass instead, not reading the pass itself
German equivalent, must read if you're a climber and know the language: http://www.bergundsteigen.at/

Austria, Switzerland and Germany have a very long rock climbing history (unsurprisingly), and their respective climbing associations are obsessed about safety.
500ms is nowhere near enough to discern the necessary qualitative insight (or lack thereof) from Trump tweets and translate it to quantitative arbitrage.

>What companies are you including in your "big 5"?

Google/Amazon/Facebook/Microsoft/Apple.

>I don't think any of the typical big tech companies have monopolies in the same way

If you buy a Google Home, you're basically fighting an uphill battle to use something other than Google Play music, right? If you have Comcast, then they make using Netflix a battle vs Comcast's own on demand video, how is that different?

>I only have 1 and only 1 ISP from which to chose.

You don't consider AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint an ISP? Those four are pretty universally available in the US, and for a lot of people, mobile carriers are their primary ISP.
The crucial part here is the nature of the reputation. We're not talking about some shady dealings of the upper management, that individual employees may or may not have been aware of. We're talking about employee culture inside the company - something that is, by definition, exposed to and shaped by employees. Given the magnitude of the problem in Uber, on the basis of reports we've seen so far, on the balance of probabilities, it would be more surprising than not for an engineer who works there to be unaware that such things are going on around them.

And if they were aware, but didn't blow the whistle (after going through the usual HR complaint process and running into blocks there, as others have reported), that is definitely a very questionable ethical choice that deserves future scrutiny, including for anyone hiring that person.
Next battle: getting Apple to give users more granular Location controls. Almost NO App really needs precise GPS. "within a mile" or city or zip code or other fuzzier locations should be fine for most apps. Users should have a better trade-off than exact or nothing.
It's possible you're assuming the firewalls have more rule types than they actually do. Basically these firewalls default to dropping all packets, and any rules you add are to accept a port or port range. Adding such rules together is simple and doesn't depend on order.
iBeacon protocol is not proprietory. BLE covers larger area that NFC does not.

I agree there aren't much real uses tho. But we might not know yet.

For example LoRaWAN networks are deployed worldwide fairly quietly.
Maybe printers don't just use yellow, but calculate an optimal color based on the background of where they need to print.

The person who wrote the list in the article mentions (at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14502425, in this thread) that there is a second generation of this technology that doesn't produce microscopically-visible dots.

Perhaps the use of all available colors is involved.
I think you both have a point. The tools are mostly all here now (some in primitive forms), but no one person on earth knows how to use them all. From netfilter to kubernetes to sharded redis instances to nginx RTMP to embeded golang structs and git commit hooks.

It takes an amazing team to cover all the bases.
In other news, if you are leaking set up a hidden camera in someone's room, steal their password and do everything from their account.

There is an old saying in climber culture: "There are old climbers. There are bold climbers... but, there are no old, bold climbers."
But in theory in a pinch you could spin up a git server somewhere publicly accessible and switch your site to pull from there, and push to there yourself.
I was thinking of cases where you may need to update the balance on the card.

You're right, if you only used it as authorization I guess you wouldn't need write access.
Gitea sadly has some issues (for example, the "Public Activity" tab on user profiles 500's atm: https://try.gitea.io/crackedmind?tab=activity; it throws 500's everywhere once you throw on a modern Xeon more than 30 users/second at it, because it doesn't cache database accesses, at all, etc).
You need to either ensure you control the resources you depend on, or plan for outages.

At my gig, we use GH Enterprise (on-prem) as well as some smaller plain-vanilla git repos (mainly for CM and other critical services). Any third-party code and all other dependencies live in an artifact manager or private mirror repos.

Personally, I don't use any cloud provider to store my data. Cliche, but true: if you don't control the hardware, you don't control the data on it.
I agree but have yet to find one that went that way. More companies in the wild, as I alluded to, who feel that's what they should be doing with little to no understanding of how. Same for all of those brainteaser fizzbuzz-esque problems.

It was, until this administration, somewhat rare for the press to _knowingly_ publish nothing but lies, and yet here we are. CNN (!) got caught on camera the other day stage managing a "Muslim protest" for the news. That's something that would cause a massive scandal just a year ago. These days everyone is so used to it no one even noticed.

The argument is with a self-hosted solution you can choose your "danger times".

If you know you have a major deliverable coming up, you can choose not to touch your git server until it's at a somewhat safe moment to do so.
That may be, but it is a vastly better outcome than giving comcast, att et al more power.
I am not a specialist in GSM networking, but I went looking at the relevant standards documents to see whether I could answer your question.

It appears that the handset can request information from the SIM about frequency bands. For example, see section 10.3.38 of 3gpp specification #11.11 "Specification of the Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment (SIM - ME) interface", which discusses EF_CPBCCH: "CPBCCH storage may reduce the extent of a Mobile Station's search of CPBCCH carriers when selecting a cell" https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/Specif... [click 'versions' and then the link '8.14.0' to get a zip of a doc file that renders like hell in libreoffice 5 on debian stretch]

However, after that I lose myself in random standards document and can't give a clearer or more authoritative answer.
