I agree, the equation is simple as long as 3 letters organisations have more men power to scrutinize code and find bugs in oss software this model will not work.
3 letters organization don't need to implement backdoors they just need to review existing code and find bugs and exploit them.
For most developers writing code and adding functionalities is fun and rewarding on it self, reviewing code is not and this is way we end up with oss projects core teams or maintainers overwhelmed and making mistakes.

Why You Should Get a Job in Blockchain
You could make the argument that in (growing) startups, this is closer to the way things are- engineers create value over longer time periods (and efforts are often harder to tie directly to economic value creation). Equity-based comp is a good way to compensate for these kinds of efforts.
It's nearly impossible to predict earthquakes so I don't see how this could be feasible at all. Scientists have been trying hard for decades with no luck. It's been one of the most impenetrable natural phenomenons. At most you get decade+ long likelihoods of the number of earthquakes of x strength, across a very large geographic area.

Even in places with a high number of them it's very challenging to give probabilities of when, where, or how often they'll hit.

There's a good reason the predictions for the upcoming US Westcoast major earthquake is always given within the span of centuries.

The bit about code signing is really important. The people who wrote distro package managers recognized this years ago, and ever since have at least tried to do the right thing. That can make getting code into those repos a bit cumbersome, but that's kind of the price you pay.

Unfortunately, most of the language- and environment-specific package managers have pretty much ignored that issue. There's too often no way to verify that the code you just downloaded hasn't been tampered with. Heck, half the time you can't even be sure it's a version that's compatible with everything else you have. It's a total farce.

Software distribution is too important, security-wise and other-wise, to leave it to dilettantes as an afterthought to other things they were doing. Others should follow curl's example, instead of just dumping code into an insecure repo or (even worse) putting it on GitHub with a README that tells users to sudo the install script.

What do you mean by secure? Unpredictable?
Yes, I think you've misunderstood.

The text you've quoted is about how a random subset of the population is already immune to the issue of repeated queries, not that subsampling the population helps in any way. If you don't interrupt the quotation mid-sentence, it reads:

> Even so, some randomly-chosen users need not fear such attacks at all: with probability (1/2 f)^h, clients will generate a Permanent randomized response B with all 0s at the positions of set Bloom filter bits. Since these clients are not contributing any useful information to the collection process, targeting them individually by an attacker is counter-productive.

The whole of section 6.1 is not about how it only protects a single question, it is about how one ensures that the single-question protections generalize to larger surveys, concluding that

> This issue, however, can be mostly handled with careful collection design.
It's true that first and last letters are huge hints. With context it makes for a shorter space search.
How do banks in Europe verify identity? i.e. I call the bank and claim to be "Margaret Thatcher," what's the next step?

Here in the U.S. the next step is usually asking for the social security number. I called VISA/Citi to re-activate my card after traveling and they asked for the associated phone number with my account. Neither of these are especially secure, in my opinion.

I guess where we differ is that I don't think those are content businesses. The OP was looking for alternatives to building a service or app, and those businesses are automated marketing systems. I think they're closer to apps than not.

While I agree with the other comments that it wasn't impossible to read these letters, I could feel a real strain on my eyes and thought process while reading the page.

I had to "concentrate" in-order to understand each letter, something I don't have to do with normal text. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to constantly have to read everything like that.

Also, while most words were easy to make out, the ones that I don't use in everyday life; like "Typoglycemia" were impossible to figure out. I had to check what it was linked to.

Seems like there's a (difficulty/physical file size)/(profit or effort)*(likelihood of success) score that matters in these things: a terabyte of credit card numbers (alone) would be 62.5 billion card numbers, but a terabyte of facebook chat messages/private pictures is some small fraction of data. It'd be much easier for O(20 mb) to move off the network than O(500 GB). The former can be profitably resold, while the latter requires a careful search to find high value data (e.g. pictures like the fappening, I guess?) and no foolproof profit mechanism. And the sheer size brings other problems like how to store it and how to exfiltrate it and deal with it without being noticed. And of course, if you ARE good at all of the above, why not give in to a chill life in SF instead of a "life of crime" and all the volatility/violence/cloak-and-dagger that goes with it?

Not saying a Facebook/Google data breach isn't terrifying -- it certainly is, and the privacy implications are indeed upsetting -- but the profitability path is just not as clear.

The "Russian propagandists" angle from the article is interesting, but seems a bit separate from the "FB has a shitload of data on people" problem. It's basically using the ad/social aspects of the service as designed: changing people's perspectives on something you want them to feel differently about. (Albeit aimed at a different target!) Not sure how to solve that problem.

These things are excellent, but lots of stuff gets pulled in via libs. Security is a layer and spectrum, both techniques are valid, valuable and needed.

We need to find a way to extend sandboxing to dynamic libraries in a way that is descriptive at the ops level. Something that can be applied a system management rule so that it can be distributed to end users now and not wait for the safe versions to get disseminated.
I had really hoped that this was about building a static site, but again you'll end up with a blog.

Country areas used to be like this everywhere.

In the old days, my parents mailing address was RD1, Box 300. No street -- you have to tell couriers like UPS (who didn't deliver there until the late 80s) the physical address separately.

Road numbers were added in the early 80s, and mailing addresses were updated in the late 90s when individual telephone lines were available and 911 was mandated.

Directions for emergency services would be like "There's an emergency at the Smith's house, over on Country Road 5 houses after the Jones farm."

The code may not be buggy, but may surround bugs, thus the non bugged code still has to be debugged/understood. The easiest code to debug is the code that's never written (fastest too).

I had the same experience (also a non-native speaker). Being a non-native speaker might actually help -- when learning English I had to learn to guess meaning of unknown words when reading quickly and I think that skill is still with me (possibly as a detriment).

While I suspect in the end I can understand the dyslexic text just as well as a normal one, reading this required significantly higher concentration and was much slower.

Temps are usually not employees of company B, they will be contractors where B are operating as an "agency". If you look at the paperwork everyone involved will be "self-employed"

It's hard to draft this without completely ruling out even legitimate temp jobs. Does working at the factory for a week make you an employee? How about for a day, or an hour?
Or how about a (micro-)payment?
Didn't Uber have a similar issue? You open the app, see multiple cars around you, so initiate a request, only to discover that the nearest car is actually not that near (and won't take your request)? Uber later said that the display of cars was just representative, that it wasn't revealing the real location or amount of cars near you on purpose to protect privacy of drivers... but that seemed a bit disingenuous.

GMail filtering isn't very powerful.

Although I run my own mail server, there are other good providers out there which allow you to use sieve based filtering. Fastmail for example:

AFAIK, there's no reason why an OS can't make filesystem I/O non-blocking with the standard read/write/select (or poll or whatever) system calls.

The only tricky part (API-side) is that write() is defined to confirm that some data got written, or not. If you let write() become non-blocking, and deferred the I/O, perhaps by returning immediately with EAGAIN or some such response, the write is is an unknown state to the rest of the application. What data can then be expected from other read() calls on that file from the same process? The old data? The new? A mix? You'd have to drop the POSIX consistency guarantee. For most programs, this is never likely to be an issue, as they don't tend to be re-reading bits of a file that they are also writing to, so it's a shame there's no option to let the write() be non-blocking if requested.

Issue 2 is failures: If the write, when it eventually happens, fails, you've got to have some way of passing that information back to the process. The solution for this seems easy enough; just let the FD become writeable again and the program will probably re-attempt the same write, at which time you can report the previous error.

Finally, making open() calls non-blocking would be the real API changer. If you defer all of the file opening work and give the application a file descriptor before doing any I/O, then you can hit all kinds of errors (permissions problems, file not found, and so on). How do you pass them back to the program? You can make any future read() or write() calls fail but these syscalls would now have to return error codes that they aren't specified as actually being able to return (read can't return things like EEXIST, EACCESS and so on). So the API is inadequate for these situations. You can see how they could be extended to cover these cases though.

>Questions like that can be somewhat answered by the results of such tests.

Not really. Credit checks and drug tests are worthless for determining the trustworthiness of employees beyond serving as filters so basic that they border on being comical.

For example: a clean drug test and perfect credit score wouldn't save a company from a sociopath that grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth, and gets blackout drunk every other night.

Moreover, I'm willing to bet Snowden had quite excellent credit and finances prior to taking off with the sum total of the intelligence community's PowerPoint files. In fact, I bet his drug tests were spotless too.

Real trust is far more complicated.

On the bright side, at least credit and drug tests do screw the companies that use them out of otherwise excellent candidates on a regular basis. It also saves their apathetic HR departments from having to solve the mystery of why a candidate's affinity for the number 300 stems from the fact it's both their credit score and the number of times they've taken PCP. I'm sure someone of that caliber would've otherwise just slipped right past and landed a cushy software development job.

Run old anomalous traffic on old codebase that can handle the corner cases. Run the new traffic over the safe code that covers 80% of the use cases.

Slowly expand the percentage of traffic coverable by the new safe code.

The 80 percent case can be written and coded in a small amount of time. In curls example, it is fetching a file over http 1.1 using an encoding, possibly following some redirects. Then post and put requests, then chunked uploads, downloads, then?

Two reasons -- you don't want to pay salespeople who don't sell anything, and you want to attract salespeople with technique and a book of business that makes them sell more.

The best salespeople I typically work with have built a relationship with the clients. I take meetings with them because they do not waste my time and they understand my company's needs. I'm more likely to take a call from company X if I know the rep from past business.

On the counter-side, I've run into many, many salespeople who bounce around and suck. They focus on doing the dance and checking boxes in Salesforce instead of actually selling product and dump their internal corporate drama on the customer. They bounce because they miss their quota and get canned.
First step when getting an ip for a server that will be a mail server is to check if the ip is not already blacklisted.

You can always get it unlisted.

After that don't start to send hundred of email by day. You need to build a reputation for your domain and ip.

As the parent comment says, set up directly spf, dkim and dmarc (also arc if you can). Rspamd can help you do that.

I've been running a personal mail server for 5 years with simply following those rules.

Because it is part of the American mind to believe in technology. (Often a larger part, the less that one knows about the technology.)

One thing I will say is that the US often has a lot more offices on the ballot than some other counties. In Washington, DC, a ballot can include Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner (somebody representing an area of a maybe twenty blocks), city council member, school board member, mayor, non-voting delegate to congress, and depending on the year "shadow senator" and president. In other places one may have county commissioners, judges, sheriffs, etc. That does make for a lot of tabulation.
I'm not a Yelp sympathizer, but this does pretty clearly look like a violation on Google's side. Building up local content is hard and expensive and to represent someone else's content as their own is pretty unethical. If Google wants to present Yelp's content, they need to come up with a deal or grow their own photography content the hard way.

Basically, they couldn't find evidence, but they can't disprove the hypothesis and they can only tell from the year 2012. Thus, they can't see if stores let their advertising expire before that year or see the reviews stores had before advertising if they started before that.

I think MOOCs are the future based on my own experience. They allow the best teachers to scale their reach. Instead of aristotle giving a lecture to a room it allows an unlimited audience who can also rewind and pause if they don't understand something.

I've been able to learn machine learning and deep learning from Andrew Ng, one of the best AI researchers in the world, among other world class researchers, for free. It's incredible when you think about it, probably one of the most significant things in human history. I've been able to learn how to code by picking and choosing the best classes from MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc without spending a penny. Why settle for mediocre teachers at state universities when these options are available?

The major thing we need to do is find some other way to grade people other than using a college degree as a benchmark.

In particular, one big issue I personally have with supply/demand model is that I don't know how to take two markets and their respective supply/demand curves and equilibria and combine them into supply/demand curves and equilibrium for the common market, under whatever additional assumptions you want to have. And I tried, it was one of the first things I tried to do when learning economics (it's tricky, because the equilibrium has to match).

And I have never seen an economic textbook do that, either. But they all magically jump to aggregate demand and supply, where you have millions of products. They cannot even aggregate two!

Someone mentioned physics here. So that's what you do in physics, you analyze one thing first, then two things, then millions of things in aggregate. With supply and demand model, the 2nd step is simply not done, and for a good reason - the model will fall apart (as far as I can tell) at that point.
