Soldering fumes are dangerous and toxic. Wear respiratory protection and ensure the area is well-ventilated!

All solder fumes can cause occupational asthma
and other health problems (leaded and lead-free)
if used for long periods at a time. The best
solder wire contains something called Rosin that
helps the solder flow when hot. This causes
asthma if you are over exposed and is irreversible. [0]

Context / background:

A few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting the creator of the Choo Choo Barn in Strasberg, Pennsylvania [1]. He'd ended up with severe lung cancer do to all the soldering fume inhalation over the years.

Reading the article I linked in my first post, my understanding is that it is possible to use WebRTC for UDP _today_ but its just very difficult?

"while WebRTC makes it easy to send unreliable-unordered data from one browser to another, it falls down when data needs to be sent between a browser and a dedicated server...It falls down because WebRTC is extremely complex. This complexity is understandable, being designed primarily to support peer-to-peer communication between browsers, WebRTC needs STUN, ICE and TURN support for NAT traversal and packet forwarding in the worst case."

Given your experience with WebRTC stcredzero, do you think it is possible to wrap WebRTC in a class to emulate UDP? What is the hold up?

A banking company operating in 1999 is an entirely different context than Equifax operating in 2017. The web and its risks aren't new any more. Equifax's database being one webapp away from disclosure is entirely irresponsible - and if there is no alternative, then they'd need a kick-ass pen-testing, bug bounty, patching, WAF deploying, internal security program. If they had such a program, it would have caught this issue in multiple ways. If they weren't going to deploy the patch, they could have asserted rules in the WAF, for example. We can only assume, then, that this effort was either underfunded, poorly managed, or both.

Furthering their incompetence by linking to phishing sites in the aftermath, not offering data protection automatically, and suggesting US persons should pay them for protection (!) all point to the deeper corporate problem that is at the root of this issue, which is that they see US persons as suckers and don't really care about data privacy or information security. Otherwise, they'd have staff trained on response and they'd have social outreach folks validating URLs before posting as the company representatives.

It's totally appropriate for the CEO to resign.
the funny thing is, this means that the patent grant previously shipped with react had basically zero relevance to using react (even after a patent dispute).

I obviously don't know for certain, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Matt Mullenweg who framed the issue in a way that resonated well enough with Facebook to make them change their approach to licensing so drastically and swiftly...

That last part summed it up perfectly for me. Facebook may well have been right (and I personally believe they were), but it's their responsibility to prove they're right to the world, not ours.

While neoliberalism and libertarianism are in the same direction, they aren't the same thing. Neoliberals are generally fine with government restricting what can be bought and sold, they just want most legal goods and services to generally be provided by private enterprise with limited regulation, and with only very limited barriers to international trade in goods and services that are legal in both the source and destination jurisdiction.

Just updated my Firefox beta to 57. A few observations:

1. It does feel snappier.

2. Tabs UI looks ugly. Bigger elements than older design, more bulky. Sharp rectangular shapes of each tab UI element are standing out. It looks like a touchscreen UI to me, and it's wasteful on a desktop.

3. It also completely disabled all common add-ons like Adblock Plus and Stylish. That's a BIG problem. Looks like Adblock Plus has a compatible beta version at least.
Agree, plex doesn't test well enough before release. I've found a good strategy is to wait at least 3 months after a release to upgrade, and then only after checking the plex forums that the new version is working well on your OS.
Yes they are still using AWS entirely (as far as I've seen) in fact they've doubled down on their AWS commitment it seems by integrating with Lex and Connect.

Their stock isn't so hot right now but that's not terribly out of sorts for a relatively new company. Enterprise I've heard many stories about. Their commitment to starting with the developer is admirable though.

The Culture of Startup Ecosystems: Deep Dive Q&A with KM of Collaborative Fund
I think it's a simple way of figuring out potential products and services that are cross-selling opportunities for their existing customer base in order to increase their Average Pocket Share. As it turns out, everything that they push forward is something someone is already offering to their customers and hence 'Why not us' while all it takes is some new devs or existing devs to work on copying an existing service and offering a cheap refined version of it.

Edit: I'm not trying to undermine the challenge or business incumbence requirements. It's just not a risky innovative proposition.

Measuring your contributions in terms of dollars IS tough. Someone at the company likely had a number for you somewhere, or at least your 'position' (since they like to think of you as being a superfluous factor, able to be switched out for any similar cog), but you won't ever see it. This is why sales people are usually the best paid people at any company next to the executives (and sometimes above them for non-public companies). When the company says 'we don't know if we can give you a raise this year' or similar, the sales person can say 'I brought you $15 million in business last year - you can afford to give me a raise that matches cost of living increases.' Hardly anyone else in a company can ever do that.

On JSX... ok, that's not Javascript. Nor is it HTML. But it absolutely the right tool for the job, if that job is creating component based web applications.

JSX is such a perfect fit that I take umbrage with people who sneer at it. What better way is there to bridge the gap between the DOM and Javascript? And JSX isn't exclusive to React anymore. That's testament to how useful and practical JSX is. I can see JSX becoming bona fide standard like HTML.

In the UK at least, you can often see a rubber strip in a square where the sensor has been added to the road (they cut a slot then re-seal it). I try to stop with my wheel rims right on strip and it often triggers the lights.

I've disliked vimeo ever since they claimed videos with video game footage weren't art enough to be posted there. After Stage6 was shut down in 2008, many people started to move their content over to vimeo, only to be lost when vimeo made their stance against video games.
In 2004 I wrote a tribute to the research community I grew up in "The Power of the Context" (http://www.vpri.org/pdf/m2004001_power.pdf) and this will possibly help with some of your questions. I was just one of many in this community, and as I said at a recent Stanford lecture "The goodness of the results depends primarily on the goodness of the funders". Every era has enough of the kind of people who like to "ask what would real progress be?" and then try to make it happen. The large differences in "real progress" have fluctuated as the good funding has fluctuated (right now and for quite a few years, there has been almost none).

A very important first step in this is to put a lot of work into "learning to see the present" and then where it came from (this is a lot of work, and it's not what human minds generally want to do). This will free up most thinking, will open up many other parts of the useful past, and especially about much better futures.
And plenty of users have made it clear they'd pay more if plex actually added features people requested.
This attitude is a big reason why doing constructive work in security is hard.

Yes, there are huge challenges and lots of different attack vectors. No, that doesn't invalidate the progress that's made when someone invests a lot of time and effort to solve 80% of an extremely difficult problem.

Sometimes it feels like you could solve world hunger and world peace, but unless you also gave everyone a puppy, half of the security community would still complain.

(And then there's always someone who wanted a kitten instead of a puppy...)

In your opinion could Giraffe shape up to be a serious competitor to Phoenix Framework for mind share? If the F# community could get something like that off the ground I think it would do wonders for the platform.

Also, what's your opinion of Fable vs TypeScript as far as support for interacting with existing libraries? Fable sounds very appealing, however all the momentum behind TypeScript, its type features aimed at typing in-the-wild js code, and the massive defintely typed project are hard to pass over..
> some people were pushing the unfounded idea that one's usage of react would somehow be impacted by the patent grant.

The idea wasn't unfounded, it was untested. People had worries because of how it looked like it could be used, and people with legal experience that weighed in seemed to have differing opinions on the possible impact. That was a foundation for concern.
But do the others have explicit patents?
UI/UX designers should know - approximately - what is going to be required by software developers to implement the designs they want (ie, they should have a basic knowledge of platform APIs, coding, etc) because lots of stuff that looks cool/good turns out to be really hard to build on <insert-name-of-platform-here>

And you have to know that what you're designing is following a given platforms' interface guidelines, standards, and expectations

For a software person that would likely not be terribly difficult. People don't realize how easy it is for software to bring in avalanches of money due to the very early illegal wage-fixing tech companies engaged in (and were convicted of by the courts.. far, far too late to undo the damage). I am convinced the productivity gains that software makes possible is really responsible for wages freezing in the 80s. It's an easy sell to give people a 5% annual raise when their productivity grew by 8%. What do you do when they start using software that grows that productivity by 50%? 150%? 500%? It suddenly looks absurd to compensate people according to the value they are creating for the company. A secretary in the 80s could answer maybe 25 letters a day if they were pretty good, using snail mail and typewriters and whatnot. A secretary today can answer 300 emails before lunch with ease. They are creating profoundly more value, reducing headcount by huge amounts, making possible fundamentally different levels of interaction between customer and supplier... and they're making the same amount for it.

MacOS Keychain Theft Issue Shows You Can’t Just Trust Apple to Keep You Secure
A problem I see a lot in this community when it comes to security is letting perfect be the enemy of good.

Yes, this is vulnerable to an effort by Intel, but that's still a significant increase in complexity and capital required to pull of an attack. Really, "still vulnerable to malicious insertion by the hardware vendor" is probably one of the most positive things you can say about a security system, as generally, especially when it comes to privacy, there are many attack vectors that are _so much easier_. For instance, OWS itself.

The improvement here is reducing the attack surface. Yes, that doesn't look like an improvement if you choose to look only at the particular part of the attack surface that this change doesn't address. But in real terms it is a substantial improvement.

For the big credit agencies, how do you tell where the info came from? If you pay your rent and you make payments on a credit card both entities may file a credit report including your SSN, name, address, etc... If the credit agency loses track of their database, how do you determine which submitter should be responsible?

It makes more sense to assign all the blame on whatever entity lost control of the data. They get a big fine and as long as they were following best practices (as outlined by their insurance company), then their insurance company will pay the fine and the business keeps chugging along.

If the company was negligent, the fine is likely a death sentence.
