Thanks for your thoughtful comments. Yes, I can understand your skepticism, and that is a good sign that you don’t believe whatever folks are just saying. That is particularly good in the cybersecurity field as claims that are unsubstantiated are often made.

The problem with cybersecurity is that you can’t prove a negative proposition. That is, it’s not possible to prove that a system will never be hacked. That said, there are ways of increasing the cybersecurity of a system to the extent that a compentent attacker, i.e. a nation-state actor, will need to commit significant time, personnel, and resources to attempt to mount a serious attack. Most likely they will look elsewhere to attack rather than the network interface that our product protects.

We have achieved a high level of cybersecurity by using several principles (in addition to CIAA):
1) Integrate the cybersecurity capability with the middleware so it is “built in” into the same product.
2) Limit our scope to controls systems messages so as to leverage the highly constrained nature of these kinds of fixed format messages to have an extremely small attack surface.
3) Use logical construction of mechanisms to specify what should only happen, and then rigorously prevents anything but that from happening.
4) Root the security in H/W.
5) Protect the full S/W stack from H/W to the application
6) Enforce an autonomous posture for all components to prevent a “brittle” system architecture, which would lock components together.

As to your specific questions:
1) The only way to evaluate the cybersecurity of a system is through penetration testing. We’ve had several highly competent teams evaluate our technology and have failed to defeat it in any way. You should have your own penetration test teams test all of your systems before you put them into production, and then periodically continue to test them for vulnerabilities. That said, no system is perfectly secure. But, we’ve been accepting systems with poor cybersecuity for quite a while, it’s time to raise the bar on what is acceptable cybersecurity.
2) You are free to choose open source or any product. The problem with current technologies is that they were designed before the kind of high-level cybersecurity we expect today was understood. These existing technologies are wed to their current protocols which can’t be patched to make them more secure. Only a redesign from scratch will do that, which is tantamount to abandoning their current protocols.
3) Vendors provide a product with features that are useful. That’s why we use them. Control of the technology is needed to ensure the proper implementation of the principles outlined above.
4) You shouldn’t. See answer to question 1) above. We need to earn your trust. In a sense, cybersecurity is a conspiracy of trust. Without trust there is no security.

I personally think that HTTP should be gradually supplanted by things like IPFS, all documents would be content-addressable and both accessing an archiving would be done in a decentralized manner.

Could you elaborate on what you did mean by 'diminished role of the state', and what you imagined?
It's a perfectly valid prima facie argument. Now, of course, it could be that Amazon should use these tactics and Wal-Mart shouldn't, perhaps because Amazon are paragons of taste and virtue while Wal-Mart are a bunch of sadistic cretins, but the burden of proof is on anyone who wants similar firms to be considered differently.
And I used uber or lyft to ride back and forth to work every single day because it's so cheap. ~9 bucks compared to a 3 dollar metro ride (and I typically save 20 minutes). If it's 15 dollars I'd ride less often and I'd probably try to hail a cab first.

Uber demand is definitely elastic.
I would be interested to hear this as well. I favor L2TP/IPsec as it's built into iOS and MacOS and it was easy to configure my edgerouter-x to be a server for use on the go.

I wonder how you will deal with taxes. You offer a service (number of hours) against payment and registered as Ltd (for profit).
Why is this a meaningful distinction? Who cares if it's server or client side in this discussion? The Python community has said passing anonymous closures is too complex, the majority of the industry disagrees and has pushed forward.

Lambdas are everywhere BUT Python now.

Javascript is even pushing forward with more sophisticated constructs to help them build custom monadic constructs, and shipping a super useful monadic construct in syntax. C# has been doing that for years. Java will soon as well.

The rest of the industry has moved on from this conceit and you can't really argue that it's made environments like Javascript overwhelming to newcomers.

If Python 3 could just get over this conceit, its maintainers could start solving major Python problems really quickly. E.g., Python's janky iteration primitives could be replaced in an afternoon or three with equivalent but cleaner and clearer options.
>>1. What percentage of your health issues are "emergency, heart attack RIGHT NOW"-class issues? What percentage of health care spending overall are these issues?

100%, in theory at least.

See I'm vaguely poor--18421 before taxes last year, currently about 5000 before taxes this year--which means I can't afford to go see a doctor because "I'm not sure but I think this is more than a sprain", "that's weird this lymph node has just swollen to thrice it's normal size over night" or "hmm this is definitely infected"[1]. In fact anything that isn't 0-copay, which isn't much because I can't afford swanky insurance, is basically out of reach. ALSO because I'm 31 and spent my adult life insurance-less I have almost literally no idea how to even get myself care if I could afford it (I mean what do you just throw a dart at a phone book? walk into a hospital and keep asking nurses questions?)

As a result any[2] health care I receive is going to be a result of some one else calling an ambulance for me. Which will leave me in exactly no state to be comparison shopping.

[1]true stories

[2]well I did manage to get on some anti depressents and counseling last year by crying at the good people at my student health center for an hour or so, only after some one pointed out that generics for chronic conditions are covered by my insurance (a fact which does not actually appear in the policy packet but is only mentioned in small print on a PDF comparing the different plans) and the first month of counseling being covered by my student activity fees.
If you find yourself starting a statement with "I apologise [sic] in advance" then maybe consider not posting it.
To me the headline says "you can't be banned from any part of the internet for any reason," or, alternatively, "everybody has a right to access the internet." The actual ruling is much narrower: "it's unconstitutional to ban all sex offenders from accessing social media sites." The Court hasn't officially said anything about other people (e.g., current prisoners, people on probation, specific people convicted of computer-related crimes, etc.) or other sites on the internet.

I was responding to the questions "With this supreme court ruling, how prisons in the US are going to allow inmates to have access to the real Internet? I mean you can not ban those inmates from accessing the Internet, right?"

People (hopefully) won't get practice on reporting and handling harassment claims. It's good to have a refresher training to both remind employees of the process as well as a gesture to show they are still taking the issue seriously.
Same in Belarus (but both iPad and PS4 Twitch apps handle 720p just fine on the same network).
In all fairness, if you read through the comments, you'll see that each time was a new version being launched. This time it's the full product. The previous time there was a landing page. The time before was a prototype. And the stuff before that seems to be a completely different service with a URL belonging to someone else (sold perhaps?)

I have helped many people learn to code.

I was teaching JS basics to a friend the other day who was interested, and he said something that I thought was particularly well-worded. When he stumbled across the idea of classes (as in OOP, that is), I said he should avoid them for now because it's too advanced and it would just make things confusing. I encouraged him to focus on basic functions and control flow.

He demurred, insisting that we do something "actually interesting" and had me teach him how to create a class. He likened the motivation to learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu:

> I don't want to spend hours practicing passing the guard, I want to learn to rip someone's fucking arm off.

And having learned some BJJ myself, and having experienced that exact same desire and irritation, I couldn't help but sympathize. Passing the guard is a crucial part of BJJ, but it feels quite basic and uninteresting in the beginning, much like if statements and for loops.

The point is, make sure your learner is working on something he finds interesting, like trying to put together a basic calculator app or anything concrete that he can relate to. Empty isolated exercises that aren't leading to building anything are detrimental to interest and motivation.

How Does Knowledge Come By?
Like it or not, the liability of diversifying just went up.

It's clear that the lynch mob of armchair activists will no longer be satisfied when action is taken against the individuals who are directly at fault; they tend to drag everybody they can into this mess and attempt to hold them accountable.

Travis aside, you can't expect engineering managers to ignore what happened and risk their career because somebody in H.R might screw up.

1. You must get involved if you hear anything that could be remotely questionable. Otherwise, you will be the guy who ignored all of the signs and enabled the culture.
2. If you get involved, and it turns out to be nothing, you are now harassing a co-worker. It was just an office relationship, and things went sour? It's your fault now.
3. Don't get involved? You are an enabler and must be punished.

I was reading a thread on Reddit last week (Things you can no longer do at work, or something like that) and apparently some men are scared to close the meeting room door if they are left alone with a woman these days.

Amazing world we live in today.
Unless the compiler decides that zeroing the memory doesn't do anything useful and optimizes it out.
My understanding of the ruling is that individuals can still be banned, on a case-by-case basis, but not an entire class of offenders by default.
I sorta did something like this.

A friend of mine[1] pushed and pushed and pushed me to learn Python, and at one point even paid me a small amount to make two plugins for Anki(a flashcard dekstop app), which was really difficult, but are still on my Github today[2].

That was enough of a push that then, I pushed as hard as I could into Django, got my first gig, and a year later switched to Ruby/Rails, and have been growing ever since.

I highly recommend this course of action. It absolutely changed my life, and brought me from barely being able to scrounge out a minimum wage job after crossing the country, to making more money than my Father and being able to live effectively wherever I want, and in just 5 years. It's been incredible, and it's all thanks to his kindness toward me.

Are they seriously expecting anyone to put effort and wait just to buy something from their place? Granted, I hate how Amazon doesn't support Paypal, but last I recall ebay doesn't do 1-day shipping, let alone 1-day replacement when opening an RMA.

Besides, they don't even actually lower the price to match the competitor, they just give you a one-time coupon with the difference. They're not even trying.

Great comment. The kinds of industrial controls that you mention are the long-term goal for the technology. We are working on a gateway adapter for some of the most common industrial protocols, such as ModbusTCP, and hope to have a product out early next year.

The technology is built up in layers. The base technology we call SecureSieve. We used this to build the first product, ControlMQ, which is a message oriented middleware for use with controls type systems. There are many applications for a MOM middleware such as robotics, medical devices, automation, custom controls, defense, aerospace, etc. We are using the ControlMQ middleware to build the gateway adapters.

What do i have a little bit backwards? You are free to talk about your opinion but it's kinda confusing when you just reply randomly to an unrelated thread.

I am talking about how execution matters, because parent said Uber just worked on its own to get where they have, just like Facebook worked on its own to get where they have. None of these are true.

My comment has nothing to do with wall street or shorting or whatever concepts you bring up.

5 Steps to Growing a Seven-Figure Marketing Agency: Advice from the Experts
Ours? quite the assumption. Again, I have no doubt in my mind that the large Internet providers care little about consumers, and only about their bottom line. Which is fine. Thats what corporations do. Paying off people to get that, is what I'm disagreeing with, and this reeks of that.

You were saying that they (the authors) were entirely wrong? Did you email the authors of the article? I hope so. Conclusions from facts has been a fairly solid method, that journalists (among others) have used to navigate through the understanding of many things, including the sheer amount of BS added in to bills, created by lobbyists on behalf of corporations.

What do you make of the large Corps suing local municipalities over local fiber offerings? Was that for a better technical standard? or was that just plain ole competition stomping? I'm sure their corporate angle has not changed here.

One standard (as you call it), means one office to subvert with lobbying. Why deny it?

Suppose a state doesn't bother to install an internet connection in the prison, and confiscates phones with mobile data. This is denying access.

Suppose someone is caught with an internet phone in jail and is hauled in front of a judge. If it's banned, then they can have their jail term increased.
Here's my two cents as someone who's taught coding and also taught literacy for adults.

My gut feeling is that it will be hard to make work. Learning to code takes a long time (a bootcamp is 11 - 17 weeks at 60hrs a week, so 660 - 1020hrs). However keep in mind that's entry level proficiency.

I think the best outcome would be that this person learns enough to get into a bootcamp. You'd be shocked how many people apply who just aren't ready to even start. They could learn enough with you that they find out if they like it or not, and if so from there they can take out a private loan to attend one. Keep in mind, I'm not sure how predatory (or not) the companies giving private loans to bootcamp grads are, but it is an option, and at ~$17k in cost, it's steep but not life derailing if doesn't work out (my guess is it's about the cost of a broken bone if you're not insured, just a guess there).

If you make the expectation they learn to code to get a job, it probably won't happen, if you level set that they learn enough to get into a program and OWN IT, then perhaps you'll have some success.

Just my two cents, hope this helps!
Yup. Most VPNs with decent bandwith cost $4/month. You can get pretty much the same service for $4/year if you buy a cheap NAT VPS server and spend 10 minutes setting up openvpn.

I think concerns about Amazon becoming a monopoly are greatly exaggerated. They are getting attacked from all sides, by Microsoft in the cloud and Wal-Mart in ecommerce. As Microsoft grabs share from them in web services it'll reduce Amazon's ability to cross-subsidize its ecommerce business. As Wal-Mart and Costco continue to catch up in ecommerce and free two-day shipping becomes table stakes in ecommerce, Amazon's value proposition for Prime is going to diminish.
I have not had that experience in reasonable environments. There ARE bosses that count butt in chair hours, but I choose to not work for them. They likely now have an entire team of people that clock exactly 40 hours, after all of the talent left.

>However, I made a deal with him where I would give him a little more money that what he asked for and he wouldn't need to pay me if he committed to learning how to code (with my assistance).

I would highly recommend against this.

If you lend money to someone, expect to never get it back ever, regardless of the deal you made. I know this from personal experience.

What I also know from personal experience is not to expect someone to learn how to code because you want them to. I gave my old laptop (which was still working well) to my cousin under the condition that he completed a single Udacity course on programming. I will tell you right now that he did not even come close to finishing the course.

I don't know you or your friend of course, but if I had to put my money on it, your friend is not going to learn to code, and you're not going to get your money back for a long time, if ever.

The problem of logs is actually a problem of CloudWatch Logs being just not a very good service.
