That's a pretty legit "off the grid" type situation. Is there some backstory to how the family got there? I was in Lake City a year ago, we were doing an off road adventure and it was amazing how isolated the place is. Beautiful too.

Big counties space wise, tiny populations, extremely rugged terrain. Then the flip side, I'd guess a fair number of folks there don't really want to be "connected" I mean everyone does if it's free or really cheap but a large number of the residents there aren't going to pay $100 a month for communication.

Is there a collapse? They used their VC money to pay employees to build stuff. Now the money is spent. Employees get layed off.

It could very well been worth it. What has been built might bring in return on invest for a long time.

Isn't that normal? Isn't VC money intended to be used that way? Are VCs demanding to build jobs for eternity? Or is there some moral reason to not grow and shrink the work force while building a company?
Are were sure Serious Eats didn't "steal" them from someone else?
Yes, I agree with you. Shanghai is very far from being my favorite place on Earth, but for other reasons I am here, and from pure architectural and cultural points of view, it is way above most Chinese cities. Hong Kong, on the other side, becoming more and more China-fied. That's partly a reason why I left. My friends who stayed there all agree it's getting worse with every year. Though there is still much to see and do there, and amount of open clubs for any kind of interests from MTB to cross-stitching is staggering.
That's not a bad idea, but I wonder if deviating too much from PHP (besides naming) would create confusion.

If you see..:

versus:

\PHP\html_entities()

...you assume \PHP\html_entities() works the same as `htmlenties()`

My first thought was: "Not surprising for a book on malware, probably triggered by an example in the book".

I uploaded the file to virustotal.com and malwr.com. VirusTotal has reports from several scanners, so this is not just misreporting from a single scanner. malwr.com opens the file in a sandbox and it says that it makes HTTP connections and installs itself for autorun at Windows startup.

The Web Application Hacker's Handbook is reported by my local ClamAV 0.99.2 with current sigs but not by VirusTotal.
malwr.com also reports HTTP connections and autorun.

I uploaded several other EPUB files and none of them was reported to show such behaviour.

Strange...
minimega looks neat, but I don't want to sacrifice all the other libvirt-based tooling that's out there

Great! So libvirt is a good fit for you, awesome. Maybe other people have other needs or wants, and now they have an alternative that might suit them better. Isn't Open Source neat?

TBH, your argument is starting to sound very much like "libvirt is my tool of choice and I'm pissed that not every available person is working on the betterment of my preferred tool, instead choosing to work on something that is of no interest to me"
Just switch them to a $5/mth Linodode VM and push your one-off prepared Docker image. They're now getting 1GB RAM for their money so no complaints.
I'm not suggesting the videos should be available to just anyone for public view. On the contrary they need to be kept very securely, not only to stop unauthorised access but to stop unauthorised tampering or deletion.

However, I don't think access to the video should be controlled by the district attorney or by the state, instead it needs to be more transperant.

For example, lets assume someone in the public has a run in with the law and that results in charges being laid.

At that point, the accused should be able to appoint an attorney who then arranges for immediate access to video from the arresting officer(s) camera.

That process should be quick and fast, not slow and obstructed as it currently appears to be.

on the one hand that will be great. a partner who never gets tired no matter how many questions you ask.

on the other hand it's a brave new world. especially when as the computer gets better they might get used to the partner that always does there requests and upset with the real people who dont ?

I'm sure it will all be fine somehow.
I would hate to see SoundCloud disappear or get dismantled in an effort to migrate its user base into a different social network. The core idea, to provide a way for amateur creators to share their music, and connect with an audience, is sound. I also think there is/was a gap in the market for podcast creators that SoundCloud authoring tools could have filled. Can some combination of charging creators for advanced authoring or analytics, and placing ads in a free listening tier, not provide sufficient income to keep something like this going?
> "On a family scale, being rich is close to the healthiest thing you can do."

I would say being self-reliant is the 'healthiest' thing you can do.

Being rich is a type of self-reliance, but it comes with its downsides. The biggest one is probably isolation. A disconnection from the world around you. Perhaps the world around you is 'unhealthy' so it makes some sense to be disconnected from it, but generally it's a downside.

Of course, it is possible. There are many companies which sell JavaScript libraries and related services. In my own field (of JS-based rich-text editors) there are at least a couple of companies which produce their own products and live from that. I'm not sure if you'd still consider them as libraries, but I'll come to that.

As in any business, the most important aspect is finding customers. First of all, you need to have an idea and then a product. It needs to be really good unless you have some exceptional marketing and sales skills ;).

Then, you'll need to find potential customers. You can do that directly or promote yourself in various ways. Many companies open source their products or parts of their products. This may attract a lot of attention and makes you and your software more recognizable. If you open source a big part of your product you also won't have a problem with obfuscating the code – it's available out there anyway.

But how to make money if you open sourced everything? That's why I'm talking about a product, not a library. Source code is not everything (unless it's a really simple thing, but then you wouldn't sell it anyway). You can propose additional support, commercial licenses, knowledge and experience (in various ways such as custom development or your assistance). Some developers also try to crowd fund their projects on services like https://www.patreon.com/ or https://gratipay.com/ but you need a really big community to live from that.

So, if you want to make money, then in most cases you should start thinking about a product, not a library itself. You need to be prepared that a big fraction of your time will be spent on things other than coding. This is tough for many developers.

Good luck! :)

Recipes are not copyrightable, and I'd argue that it's actually beneficial to all of us to exchange recipes freely and allow for commercial reuse. Food is an important and quantifiable part of our lives, and improving it is a collective effort. As I support scientific papers "theft" by Scihub, in the same way I support Buzzfeed propagating good food.

Reasonable if you ignore maintainability and standards compliance.

Not a coder, but if you used an idiom that worked because of a compiler quirk then that could lead to problems down the line but related to maintenance per se, hence why I added the second part.

Clickbait title, but the issue of reproducibility on social science studies is well worth investigating.

What the article wants is something that I'd say couldn't and shouldn't be done (in terrible writing: "some sort of machine with, like, a slot for feeding in journal articles. And two lights on the front: red and green. Ping or bzzzt.)

What the investigators say they're working on goes from good suggestions (pre-registering a research plan (to ward off accusations of P hacking) and making full sets of data and the code used to analyze it available) to bad ones (Social networks) - if you're an outsider like Perelman you're out.
Drupal and Symfony have inherited the worst excesses of Java's AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBuilderContainer culture. Laravel and Symfony also have a preference for docsting annotations which are even worse than Java.
Google also doesn't violate Chinese censorship or data disclosure laws, which apparently is what it's being suggested that Apple do.

Of course Google do this by not operating in China at all any more. But what is being suggested is that Apple at least threaten to violate Chinese law or attempt to apply pressure to the Chinese government. Even Google didn't try that when they did operate in China, because frankly they're not insane and they had employees in China, and presumably didn't want any of those employees gracing the hospitality of the Chinese police force.
To call this "Air-gapped" would be a misnomer.

that is not what an air gap is. if at any time there is an exchange of data between the air gapped hosts/network and a non air gapped one, there is no air gap anymore. and yes, that includes an analyst taking a sample to an internet-connected host.

side channel exfiltration techniques like "fansmitter"[1] and "diskfiltration"[2] or the well known TEMPEST attacks are more interesting challenges in air gapped designs than relying on a very basic security boundary violation. (and solved in very much the same way, by having the secure terminals be as dumb as bricks as possible, with extremely limited known inputs and outputs, preventing the insertion of unclassified electronics in the secure zone through policy, and enforcing it through physical searches, RF hardening the zone with a faraday cage, absence of windows, etc... the "Technical Specifications for Construction and Management of Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities"[3] is a great ressource for those interested in such designs)

incidentally, there are awfully little true air gapped networks (which are not ICSes and/or assorted single purpose hosts/networks whose absence of network connectivity is not a primary design feature) in the wild. they're operationally heavy precisely because of their nature, and outside of very specific situations, their security is not perceived as cost efficient by management, for good reasons.

I'll watch the video, but whilst I do I'll put a question to you... Do you think the natural habitat of other animals on our planet should be protected?

That's the bigger question for me. I don't care if the planet is getting hotter or colder if biodiversity is being protected. Perhaps we should agree to stop driving species to extinction and let any decisions on climate be driven by that goal. Would you say that's a reasonable approach?

EDIT: Have watched the video. I can see you don't need convincing. Thanks for sharing it.

Here's the fixed video link, I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it:

not really. they will have to prove they could see a profitable exit. which in this case is dubious since there were other companies doing what they promoted years ahead of them and all had the same outcome.

The section on Hezbollah in this comment contains a ton of factual errors.

>Hezbollah has 12 MPs in the Lebanese parliament. It represents the interests of a section of
Shia in Lebanon,

So far so good

>many of whom were driven from their homes in Palestine in 1948 by Jewish settlers, and are now barred from returning home (whereas a Jew from anywhere in the world is allowed to settle in the West Bank).

Nope, you're confusing Palestinians and Shia Lebanese. Not a single Shia was driven from their home by the creation of Israel in 1948. Hezbollah does not represent Palestinians in Lebanon (who were driven out in 1948) because they are not citizens of Lebanon, despite being born there at this point.

>The PFLP is "terrorist", Hamas is "terrorist", Hezbollah is "terrorist", the PLO is "terrorist", the DFLP is "terrorist" - anyone who fights back against Zionist (or sometimes American) aggression is labeled a "terrorist".

Is blowing up a Jewish center in Beunos Aires (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMIA_bombing) or killing 22 school children (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma%27alot_massacre) "fighting back against Zionist aggression"?

>Hezbollah was formed because Israel invaded Lebanon and began killing Shia there (or letting their helpers do so in Sabra and Shatila).

Again, you are confusing Palestinians with Shias. Sabra and Shatila was a Palestinian refugee camp.

- Stopped reaping child processes (which is pid 1's main job). Actually it stopped doing everything at all because of its stupid error handling
- Floods syslog with useless messages (google for Time has been changed) every seconds
- Keeps rescheduling random offsets in timers every few seconds, so they never really run

systemd is a most unrealiable system software in Linux I have ever seen. Typical over-engineered 'enterprise' software from a 'enterprise' company. Do you know what? Red Hat is as harmful for Linux as IBM was for Java.
That's a deeper / secondary result. I was thinking in terms of basic needs. Self-reliance is good, but if you live in a good area, close to a good hospital where you don't wait and don't need to worry that calling an ambulance is a debt risk, your survival chance is much higher. You can't realistically provide this yourself / in small community.

Even basic human events like a childbirth: if everything goes well - great, if you get PPH - you've potentially got minutes before bleeding out.
That's what Amazon's IoT button is. A more expensive Dash button that you can control.

https://aws.amazon.com/iotbutton/

"Control", though, doesn't mean source code for the device, but rather, programmatic control over the endpoint (Lambda, etc). "You can code the button's logic in the cloud "

The first gen STM32 based Dash buttons were hackable[1], but Amazon changed to a different platform (ATMEL[2]) and locked them down.

So much agree. The content of issues is largely irrelevant to most people. If the republican leadership were environmentalists, so would their constituents be.

What people really want is for their group to beat other groups. It's always been that way, and always will.

Firstly, the contrast you draw regarding artificial versus natural farming is yours, not mine. Secondly, surely it is apparent that there is a big difference between digging potash from hundreds of metres below the surface of the earth versus gathering animal manure - for a start, if we make our food production systems dependent on the former we are in trouble if it becomes unavailable, for example through exhaustion or economic/civilisational collapse. Thirdly I'm not sure the term trace is in keeping with the magnitude of e.g. nitrogen run off into the sea - some think the eutrophication of the world's oceans could become as big a problem as carbon: https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-05/uov-at051208...

Fourth, I think we all have an idea of what constitutes western lifestyle, and thus I would say it is an effective term in communicating an idea. Are you really saying you have no idea what western lifestyle means?

Fifth, you ask me what I would specifically fix. I suspect that overall your tactic is to challenge aspects of my statements without refuting the central thrust of what I am saying, but whatever, I will engage. Specific problem: eutrophication due to high levels of fertiliser. How do we fix it? Drastic restriction of food production - there is a massive surfeit of food in most developed countries - and introduction of less destructive methods of agriculture. Why would this never be allowed to happen? Big business would take far too big a hit.
I don't buy the evil secret conspiracy theory. I mean there are evil secret conspiracies, but they're much more narrow, factional and ineffective than advertised.

Let's take Fake News. This is entirely a grass roots phenomenon. Sure there are individuals and groups behind a lot of it, but those individuals and groups are not heavily funded black ops teams of a billionaire conspiracy. They're sad white supremacist Reddit trolls. The fact that Trump blundered on to a wave of it and rode it to power is an accident, not the culmination of a choreographed master plan.
They couldn't stay small due to user influx. They couldn't sustain their music offering without deals with the music industry.

Yup, and the USA is sitting on its hands rather than actually competing, China is eating it's lunch. Believing in your own superiority doesn't make it so, you actually have to get off your arse.

It would probably help if the US had kept it's once excellent education system, instead the anti-tax know nothings have refused to invest in their future.
