It all depends why you would want it in the first place.

My opinion is you would be better off getting a GIAC Cert or an Offensive Security Cert (i.e. OSCP, OSCE). The OSCP Cert will be much more difficult than acquiring a masters and depending on your background may take longer.

For management types the CISSP or CISM is typically a good route since so many companies regard them highly (don't understand why but whatever)...

To be honest the best security folks I know have little more than a HS Education. Two are on Wall St making well into the 7 figures and another is working as the leading technical expert for one of the biggest credit companies in the world.

Sadly there are few Uni's that even offer a decent Cyber Security Track.

I've seen plenty of listings for jobs in Germany (on HN, even) paying like €50k for a senior position (5+ years experience). Ignoring currency conversion, that's right around the money you'd expect to make as a fresh junior developer in Canada...

As far as I can tell, all of the money in Europe is either in Switzerland, or in contract work which is pretty much the same situation Canada is in, just replace Switzerland with the US.

Yup, and the downvotes roll in against anyone who speaks moderately about the new religion. Almost as if the whole thing were a dodge and not a real issue that needs solving. And I'll be needing another account after this one gets shadow-banned for the 1000th time. Why can't we debate anything on here? Shutting down debate is what communists do, not people who are open-minded and driven by the scientific process.

BTW--one flight from LA to Paris on a private jet is roughly equivalent to driving a car for 20 years.

Honestly, I don't know why I bother coming here. Y-Combinator has burned up any interest I would have had doing anything with them because of how much of an echo-chamber this board is. Sad.
> Multinational companies pay Canadian engineers doing the same quality of work much less than American counterparts.

So tell me why don't multinational companies pay less to their American engineers, the same as their Canadian engineers?

> Canadians do pay more for things than Americans do

I oversimplified when I said "paying higher", it's more about profit margin. So lets say if a market is located in a much more geographically difficult area then people of that market could be paying more, but still that wouldn't result in higher profit margins when compared to a market which is easier to access.

These restrictions could be geographical, economic, political, regulatory, etc or a combination of these.
It's because software accrues bloat on all layers of the stack, so that even as functionality stays the same, performance requirements increase pretty much in lockstep with hardware power. And since each piece of software tends to have its own format, and/or is tied to its own cloud, it's harder and harder to exchange data between old and new programs. So people keep upgrading.

If you look at places where there isn't much pressure, you'll see plenty of old hardware and software doing just fine. For example, many shops I frequent are run on DOS-era programs, which are 100% totally fine for the job, and probably even better than modern replacements (less clicking, more typing = more efficient to use).

More of a security nightmare than passwords? Maybe, though I can't see why...

Anyways, yeah I thought about binding auth cookies to some kind of persistent hash, although I'm not sure what it could be... IPs change (laptops moving), so do user agents (browser upgrades)... I guess I'll need to test this!
The article says: "online trackers can’t easily connect the browsing", which seems to imply that they can still connect the browsing. Why can't they be completely prevented from tracking other browsing. The second question I have is how is this different from Firefox profiles?
>> How is TV better than an iPad? I mean, seriously?

You can only watch TV in one room. Kids can carry a tablet around 24/7, everywhere they go.
This is a weaponized version of "The Elf on the Shelf", which is also creepy, but not nearly as creepy or abusive as this.
Emoji just isn't even the point of the TouchBar though, and editors and IDEs are adopting support for it. It's basically just a programmable contextual shortcut bar. Plus, it's pretty easy to just remap your esc key to caps lock, and a lot of people have been doing that long before TouchBar was a thing.
This is a huge improvement. The original took me awhile to wrap my mind around because it uses more dimensions than the data actually has axes - your reduction to a single dimension of dot shading is a much tighter mapping.
Nice to see such ads penalized on the search side, and prevented on the browser side.
7. One activity. For us, it is Swimming. But you could choose any really.

I think it’s good to have 2 activities, one for the mind (eg chess, chinese lessons, painting, etc) and one for the body (eg swimming, soccer, a martial art, etc)
> you can actually emit a paragraph containing a complete thought instead of a very simple sentence

This is one of those interesting things about a two-sided product. That is a feature for writers, but it's not always feature for readers. I use Twitter for breadth; I follow a lot of people. The more people can write, the fewer people I can follow. So for me, "they can write more" is an anti-feature.
It doesn't display ligatures.
LinkedIn shows endorsements by tens of people at each of her jobs in the specific labels "Information Security", "Disaster Recovery", and "Business Continuity". By that basis, she is perfectly qualified to handle this breach

Why are they so focused on sound? Couldn't there be some other transmitted phenomena (RF?) that affected the bodily functions at high strengths. At least that seems like a more plausible turn of events.. orient a huge RF dish at the embassy to listen on comms with high sensitivity, oops - someone flipped on the xmit gear and intermittently baked the surveillance targets...
Car drivers impose a large externalized cost upon any city, from traffic and congestion, to local pollution and its health consequences, to increased accident rates. We've gotten used to those costs, and to the degree that we are even aware of them, we've accepted them as the price of our convenience.

Transit systems do not impose such high externalized costs per commuter moved, but no doubt they are less convenient for individuals.
That is one thing which miffed me a bit about Python 3.6's f-strings. Whether their addition is useful or not may be up for debate but the inability to process them in userland seems one hell of a missed opportunity.
Was there any reason why you went with Mixpanel? For accuracy purposes, I reckon it'd be better to go something server side.

Numbers like that are misleading.

Roads that go through rural areas don't pay for themselves because they have little traffic. But those are also not the areas where anybody is talking about adding lanes to the roads. And in the areas with actual congestion, tax on the gas burned driving on those roads more than pays for them.
They can still track you through your IP address, or by a combination of many browser/computer/OS properties available through JS, for example window size, browser agent, OS, fonts installed, etc. All these things don't identify you by themselves, but with enough of them you can build a fingerprint which is (almost) unique.
I think censorship resistance is the more interesting feature. Mastodon seems to be mostly used for content that isn't blessed by Twitter policies.
Personally, I think people should never use these services while logged in their Google account. Just keep the logged accounts in another Firefox profile and browse from an "amnesic" one (one which blocks third party cookies, have cookie self-destruct, adblocked to the hell, etc).

This new extension should help with this experience, BTW.
Yea, it seems like site-specific permission settings are the way on this. The "Do you want to share your location with this website?" check seems to work fairly well. I think "Do you want to allow videos with sound to autoplay?" would too.
Lets meet back here in 2019 and see if they actually bother.
Dimon compares bitcoin to tulip mania, predicting a collapse

Still, he says, it’s a good option for murderers, drug dealers

An unbiased, balanced outlook.

Meanwhile, fewer and fewer people can afford a whole coin.

I think now would be a nice time to buy. The best time is after a crash, so articles like this are usually a leading indicator that we may be bottoming out of the current slide.

Even if Bitcoin is nothing more than tulip mania, tulip mania caused a vast transfer of wealth. You won't lose if you don't play, but you won't win anything either.

If you think it's going to continue going down, put some money on that! It's pretty easy to put in a short sell and test your hypothesis. But people tend to ignore that.
The passive TV can be less psychologically powerful than the interactive iPad.

Sure, kids can still sit slack-jawed staring at some cartoons. The TV producers have learned how to maintain attention with rapid cuts, bright colors, loud sounds, and all the rest extremely well. And that's some pretty scary super-stimulation.

But it's still less addictive than the iPad app that can use all the same outputs and adds interactive, Pavlovian feedback. Push button, get some meaningless numbers to increase: maybe you'll get lucky and they'll increase a lot this time! Keep trying! Check back in 30 seconds when that unlocks again! Some interaction can be educational, but there's more to the decision than the educational value, it's also somewhat about the addictive potential.

My 11-month old likes to hold a phone when he can get one. He turns it over with impressive dexterity in his little hands. He enjoys his reflection, and the weight and shape of the things. I'm sure he's observed that Mom and Dad pick up and use these things frequently, as much as we try to limit it around him. Each time he gets a phone, we take it away, and trivially redirect his attention on something else.

It's terrifying to me that in perhaps 5 years, the attention capture industry will be aided by virtual-reality devices, and my little kindergartner will need to develop the willpower to someday control his use of these future addiction machines.

(And now, I'll ironically push "reply" in hopes that I'll see my HN karma increase a few points due to this comment.)
Does it change your views if I restate this as (using just her public LinkedIn profile):

"A chief security officer with 15 years of experience and peer accolades in the fields of banking-grade security and human data management"

Typically, this is where most people don't even ask what a degree is. However, as you indicate "no degree" is unacceptable: Which domain-relevant degree programs, initiated 20+ years ago and completed 15 years ago, would satisfy your terms?
I'd recommend finding a telework job to hedge your bets.

Very interesting insight!

As for the sniff test - while I agree with your assessment, I wonder if the aspect of providing employees easier liquidity will make them more attractive than traditional VC deals? Essentially by "investing" in companies with a mix of SPAC stock and capital, making the SPAC stock available to employees to sell in order to liquidate some of their options / equity. Essentially giving them better access to deals than others (a variation of test 1)

As for test 2 - I think this is true of many tech startups outside of the valley, maybe they will look outside the echo chamber.
Using GigaBoot20x6 is intended to support development / debugging.

This whole project is still in a very early stage, but it seems unreasonable to assume GigaBoot20x6 will be the preferred / only bootloader when this is ready for production.
Microsoft is also experimenting with IPv6-only networks internally:

With all respect, leo looks like it is an editor from the 90's with its windows 95-looks. For me, that's mostly a sign that the developers do not adhere to modern development standards. As such, why would I invest time in using a dying product/project?
Because discrimination is bad. Fighting discrimination is fighting for equality of opportunity. This makes sense and we all basically agree it's the right thing to do.

Unequal outcomes are okay. Fighting unequal outcomes is fighting for equality of outcome and it's unfair and makes no goddamn sense in a society where there is free will or any variation at all between the members.

Combine it with compostable plastics and organic circuits though and you might be able to build a low power sensor that biodegrades in a dozen years or so.

If you want to know more about the Arrow, I really enjoyed the movie "The Arrow", not some big budget movie, but really interesting.

Being Canadian I must of heard countless time how this aircraft was like none other and ahead of it's time ... Not sure how true it really is.
It could be a permission (like sharing location) or maybe a permission that can only be requested after the user clicks play on a few videos. (That would prevent me having to select "no" to every trash website that requests permissions, like Chrome allowed with pushed content permissions in the past.
Newsweek's autoplay is literally cancer. I've got the disable HTML5 autoplay, but the newsweek site is so aggressive about autoplaying that it bugs out the browser.
Not true at all. To do the things you mentioned, they all have to "read" plenty of "documentation", usually in form of third-party text/video tutorials, or even training courses. In a way, these are all worse than what the official manuals used to be.

What changed, unfortunately, is that the industry no longer seems to expect people to actually learn anything. In other professions, or even with things like driving, you're expected to learn and train before you can use a tool effectively. In computing, we somehow started to believe it's wrong, and thus we're making ever dumber and feature-less tools instead of telling people to suck it up and spend 30 minutes reading the included manual...
This! It's almost like a safer ICO -- following the line of thougth that ICOs are ways for non accredited common people to get in on something with big potential upside - but unsafe because of the large pump and dump and scam potential - whereas here you know that S+C & Palihipitiya are for real.
Hey this is really cool! Thanks for putting it together.

There are obviously so many directions you could go with an active visualization and exploration experience for this data set.

My question for you then, is--what are you trying to enable your visual explorers to do better? How specific can you be in articulating what "problem" you want to solve for them?

E.g., Maybe you believe that art researchers or "visual explorers", whomever fits your target user here, need to be able to more swiftly filter the collection along different dimensions and then see the results grouped by country so as to see commonalities across countries that weren't apparent before. If so, that will inform how you design the interactive visualization.

With your current version, I would think more about the tag/filtering experience. Current behavior--when I click a tag, I'm forced to sit and watch it cycle through items with the same tag.

Forcing a user to play along at a certain speed is generally an issue, unless of course there is a narrative that is inextricably bound to such temporal constraints, and wouldn't make sense without them.

Great work though! Thanks for sharing.
Resurrecting Public Dropbox
This is great! I have been emulating this feature for years with multiple profiles, but let's get things right: it takes some work and it is hard to teach non-techie folks how to do the same.

Time to test the thing.
Funny, but slighly off topic; I just had a long conversation about the opportunity cost of teaching penmanship in public schools.

If my friend and I had worked harder at penmanship, and less hard at optional studies in AP/STEM stuff, we'd be less employable but would have scored better on the hand-written part of our placement tests. We both got a lot of grief in school from the traitionalists for our crappy hand writing. She still can't write cursive!
I seem to see this as an upfront declaration on the requirements. I think, this 70+ hours work week involves reading and learning too.
It could be some high power RF field and either be a sidelobe of an antenna pattern, or just a "moire" reinforcement of multiple transmitters.
> getting it wrong means that you don't know which one was supposed to close which opener

This is solved by "jump to matching", which every worthwhile editor I've used has had.
This explanation can be found on blogs and whatnot, but dictionaries and etymology sites don't seem to hold with it.
I'm a relatively heavy Patreon user; I donate ~$100/month to ~12 different people. The PayPal donate button doesn't solve the problems that Patreon solves for me. Those include: providing long-term support, managing my ongoing support in one place, finding out what the people I support are up to, and getting a notion of how much support they're receiving.

I still do an occasional one-off donation to somebody who doesn't use Patreon, but as far as recurring billing for long-term support, this is all I use now.
I made a graph comparison between Toronto Tax and Bay Area tax.

https://github.com/bsurmanski/TorontoSFTax

Torontonians pay less tax for income up to 200k.
Note: I also did not include the SF 1.5% income tax in the comparison.
There's no need to resort to Clojure to solve this.

When the cursor is on one delimiter, any decent editor should be able to indicate the corresponding delimiter, and allow you to jump to it if you want. So even if you have a screenful of parenthesis, there really should be no problem in figuring out which closing parenthesis corresponds to which opening parenthesis (or vice-versa).

Besides, as someone else pointed out, if you use something like paredit or smartparens, your parenthesis will always be balanced, so you'll never run in to this issue in the first place.
Or maybe the takeaway is that most things fail and cherrypicking the times they didn't isn't a real argument
do referrers get paid by ref10 or by the recruiter/company? how do you ensure a recruiter/company pays and communicates that a candidate was hired?

Based on https://patreonhq.com/creators-have-made-100m-on-patreon-ddf..., seems like they are growing at about 2.4x/year.

They will do $7.5 million in net revenue in 2017.

Then assuming the growth rate doesn't slow (remember, growth rates usually get slower over time), $18 million in net revenue in 2018, and $43 million in net revenue in 2019.

Net revenue, not net income.

$450mm seems overvalued.
No comments made about why Bitcoin is a fraud, just some lazy comparisons to past speculation bubbles.

That said, I'm not really sure why Bitcoin is growing so rapidly at the moment. Part of me wonders whether it's being fueled by a bidding war to become the top trader, to have greater control over pricing of the blockchain, but that's just idle speculation, I really have no idea. If the technical issues that hold back scaling were solved, then I could understand it, but at the moment the trading behaviour just looks bizarre.
The Avro Arrow was an impressive aircraft. There were a large number of cool, but not useful aircraft developed in the 1950s, as jet aircraft were being figured out.

Avro is remembered mostly for building a flying saucer, the AvroCar. It never got out of ground effect, being both unstable and underpowered. But it looked really cool. It can be seen at the USAF museum in Dayton, Ohio.[1]

It's the same because of how it is but different because of techy features no one who is needed for it to get traction cares about so it's doomed to obsolescence.
