Coinbase is the only answer here, and it makes me frustrated to still see the "buy a hardware wallet" recommendations.

I recently had my hardware wallet (a trezor, which is the nicest one) fail during a firmware update. Now, obviously I have a backup of my seed, but for those few minutes that backup became a VERY expensive little widget.

When I travel, I have to worry about where my backups are stored. Storing them in a bank vault means I have to worry about the bank vault.

If I have a hardware wallet, I'm essentially betting that I am better at opsec than coinbase, a >$1billion company who devotes a non-trivial amount of resources to opsec. Keeping my own wallet means I am arrogant enough to believe that I can out-opsec the team of security people they have there.

That's absurd.

There ARE reasons for a hardware wallet (which is why I have one). The bCash split recently is why I have mine.

Keeping your own wallet and "being your own bank" is a really fun cyberpunk fantasy, but there are plenty of practical reasons to use banks.

If you are asking the question about how to buy bitcoins in 2017, then the answer is unquestionably that you should both buy and store you coins on coinbase.
Questions:

* Does one explicitly set up their FaceID with the option to skip, like how TouchID works currently? I see (when...enabled) verbiage, which is a good sign.

* "The probability that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it using Face ID is approximately 1 in 1,000,000 (versus 1 in 50,000 for Touch ID)"
If you have a face that causes most people you meet to say "oh, you look like X, Y, or Z", is this probability reduced? Other comments noted Twins. This isn't meant to be humorous or tongue-and-cheek, there could be a precedent that people of certain appearances are easily spoofed.

* "To avoid a user having to reenroll to Face ID when these neural network changes are made, iPhone X will be able to automatically run stored enrollment images through the updated neural network."

I guess a layperson would see the words "automatically" and relax, but this leaves more to be desired in explaining the "Secure Enclave" to me. The Name "Secure Enclave" almost sounded like remote storage until I read that the data never leaves the device.

Thanks for the downvotes for questions!

One thing I've seen is that its difficult get raises after a while. 30 years experience isn't much more valuable than 10. Its one thing that is annoying, law, accountancy, medicine even engineering longer experience is worth something. You can go to management (like those careers) but that's like a different profession.

I love Go and agree with everything you said.

I was never good at computer science-y "language theory" type stuff. I believe you when you say that Haskell or Forth are better languages - I just can't use them worth a damn.

Go is a practical language for me - it's not beautiful, or elegant, the type system is only 70% there, can be verbose, etc, etc, but it allows me to put my code in production and have a very high level of confidence that I won't get a phone call at 4 am. I don't have that confidence with Ruby, or Python, or Javascript.

I find that Go is very easy to pick up, and hard to really fuck up. Most people at my company can read my code and I can read theirs, which is mind-boggling to me. Go somehow achieved what I thought was impossible - to read and grok quickly other people's code.

Go sees was developed by "engineer" types - not "language nerds". And, yes, it shows.

FWIW, I also love Rust and C, but will choose Go over Rust any day when my productivity and dead-lines are more important than close-to-C performance.
Hehe, I like your joke. :-)

Good points, I want to add:

We just witnessed something very significant, when Russia interfered. They had an express goal and they carried it out with technologies we know.

A medium that is absolutely free of censorship is not in your best interest, because it can and will be used to compromise you.

The solutions are difficult, but what is clear (especially to folks who have had to moderate even a small channel or forum) is that a policy of no-censorship never scales in the real world, the question is how you do it, where to draw the line, etc..

What employment contract?

But it does have generics - maps, channels, slices! What more do you need, man!?
The pro photographers and photo journalists who spend the most money on "pro" cameras don't care about instant publication and on camera manipulation because they already have better workflows for those.

Android isn't required for those features, anyway. My Nikon allows quite a bit of manipulation and pre-processing before generating a JPEG.

For some context of what a big name pro photographer might be working with, check out [1]. He's spending a lot of money, and he's not manipulating pictures on camera and sending them to Instagram in real time.

Unfortunately, (myself included), we are so conditioned to look at your phone when it is out in our face that you would have to actively train against this "reflex".
this used to be me. constantly sick with sinus infection (like out of action for ~10 days every 2 months). I started dating someone who ate a vegan diet, and after adopting that diet I've been sick twice in 4 years and both times were very light and ran for only 2-3 days.

I have no idea why it had that effect for me, and everyone is different, but if she's suffering enough that she's at the point where she'll try anything you might pass along my anecdote. I wish I had chanced into it earlier.
Not that I've researched it, but I've read the auto manufacturers turned things around and repaid the bailout because they are in the business of producing things.

> I have a perception of nginx being slimmer than HAproxy and more focused on http/https than HAproxy

Oddly enough, I have the exact opposite perception. HAProxy doesn't even support logging to files because that would "block" the event loop, so it delegates to syslog. That seems fairly slim to me. The entire project is written with no compromises to support extreme numbers of connections efficiently. Nginx can do this as well, but has to be tuned a lot more to get to the same place, and I'm convinced if both were properly tuned and put in the same environment, HAProxy would come out ahead.

That said, if you're at a place where you already need/use Nginx, it might not make sense to use HAProxy if you can re-use your existing Nginx instances. However if you're in the market for a load balancer and Nginx isn't being used already, definitely check out HAProxy. It's pretty simple to configure.

EDIT: Another point for HAProxy: Recently, the job system we run (beanstalkd) was slowing to a crawl. I needed to find out where the slowdown was. The easiest way was to route the worker connections through HAProxy and enable logging and the HTTP stats page. I was able to determine the problem was in beanstalkd itself, not our workers (or a network issue). Sure there are a number of debugging proxies out there, but HAProxy was already installed and the logs it emits are the perfect balance of information so you can pick things apart without being overwhelmed. It really helped. Nginx wouldn't have been as useful, and would have taken a much longer time to configure.
I wouldn't say it's their duty. If you're not paying them, they don't owe you anything. If you are paying them, they only owe you what they promised.

However, your sentiment is correct since it is a two-way street. You don't owe them your time or money when they make stupid decisions. You just cut ties with them and they lose out.

Cool to know, thanks.
I still wish it had an "unlock under duress" mode, where you could authenticate with a subtle difference (different gaze, alternate passcode, etc). The phone would unlock itself but then signal back to the mothership, cloud services and even apps that it's in "duress mode". Display in that mode should look totally normal, just some of the information missing (e.g. emails/messages/contacts from certain groups of contacts flagged as "withhold from duress mode"). This could help mitigate physical danger while preseving some of our critical information.

It's akin to having multiple wallets when visiting high-theft areas. Get held up by an armed thief and give them the cash in the visible wallet, while holding back what's hidden in another location.

> However you can disable TouchID and FaceID both by pressing the power button five times in quick succession

This seems effective "on paper, but not in practice." Even if you're innocent, it is one of the most nerve-racking experiences to go through.

In the heat of the moment, what if you used an old 5s method to deactivate TouchID instead of whatever method works for the X?
I believe the probability for identical twins is 1 in 1; they mentioned in the keynote that some people will have to stick with passcodes, including those with "evil twins". (Presumably if you trust your identical twin to not be evil, you don't care if they're able to unlock your phone.)

apologies, but i don't quite follow. what do you refer to by 'class of systems'?

one common sentiment promulgated by rust evangelists is, for example, that go is 'not a systems language' because it has a GC. however, this definitional exclusion doesn't seem to align with (evidently broader) historical use of the term 'systems language'.

I agree with you, but features like this are often the difference have some (decent) security and none at all.

Consider the iPhone prior to TouchID. A lot of people used trivial passcodes, or no passcodes at all.
It still only lets you see the current month. Which is annoying when it's, say, September 27.
It seems like core technology groups have always higher median age. I remember working in small aerospace company and all the programmers were 40+ with leader in his 60s and I was single person in my 20s. Same working in another instrumentation company (average age in around 50, with lead dev approaching 70).

Maybe working on web stuff is still too culture dependent or even just young space to have enough of old people as changing industries is always hard when you are well in your career.

Here's another one: the 30-minute recording limit for video recordings. Apparently Panasonic fixed this in their GH4R [0], but it doesn't seem that Canon and Nikon have.

> The probability of a false match is different for twins and siblings that look like you

Apple mentioned this on stage, which to me was quite significant since they don't waste a single word during their keynotes.

They still haven't given approximate collision chances and to me this must mean they think it's below the 1/50,000 touch id had.

My understanding is fingerprint collisions are highly random. That is very different from Face ID collisions since they are highly predictable.
I agree with what you said but...

> People don't care about being tracked and they certainly don't care about running some obscure Linux distro on their damn phone.

People care but convenience is just more important to bulk of the population. If something comes out that is equally convenient and does not track, people will pick one that does not track. Even Apple plays the privacy card these days for a reason.
yes, so basically it's only worthwhile to join a startup when you a single digit employee or perhaps a rock-star hire; as a senior software engineer, they would not answer ANY of these questions for me. I took the hint that I was not core and it wasn't a good fit for me.
This summer I was in China as my wife is Chinese and everybody was complaining how expensive everything is these days. The thing is salaries in China have gone up hugely as well and that is mainly why prices have gone up. If the workers in a factory are paid 5x as much as 15 years ago, the lorry driver taking the goods to the shop is paid 5x as much, the shop assistants are paid 5x as much, etc, etc then the goods sold in the shop are pretty much going to have to cost 5x more than they used to.

Same thing here. The rent on the dentists office costs more, the dentist is paid more, the utility bills cost more, medical practitioner insurance costs more, the receptionist is paid more. You can’t have many times higher salaries in the US and not expect things to cost more than they do in somewhere like India.
Okay, fine, that's exactly what I said- that I'm sure his points are valid for his use case, which is the upper, upper end of the market.

But surely he must understand that what's good for him and his very particular use cases isn't necessarily good for the other 98% of camera customers out there.

I engineer advanced web applications for a living. There are lots of things about OSX that would make my life easier for my use cases. That doesn't mean I think that all Macs should come preloaded with Atom, Slack, dual Thunderbolt displays, advanced Git integration built into the user interface or a host of other things that would make my use case easier out of the box. Because my use case isn't what moves 99% of laptops. If you want to outfit your setup with high end technology so your camera won't budge in a cat 5 hurricane, go nuts. I don't think it would be the best decision for mainstream camera makers to address it. If it were, then they would be doing it.

More appropriate comparison would be to the UK where the cost of a private dental X-ray is between £9-£14 ($14-$22) [1], although realistically you would want a consultation as well. Most Brits use the NHS (state socialised) which provides a checkup and treatment for ~£20 for simple cases including x-rays [2]. Note that [2] is costs for an entire treatment which might be multiple visits and laboratory work.

They both can do logging.

nginx has issues with formatting numbers/string and undefined values, which makes it harder to extract meaningful data from log. haproxy is easier to deal with.

Docker abstract away the logging facilities and the filesystem. It's a general issue with Docker, not the software. See the 4th answer in your issue for a solution.

Second result is a Roku Stick. Odd, but at least it's relevant?

Third result thru the rest of the page is a bunch of blatant knockoffs of both styles of Chromecast. That's pretty shitty.

Edit: to clarify, by "shitty" I mean "user hostile". They would rather push me towards a clear knockoff of what I'm searching for instead of the product I'm clearly searching for.

I think the communicator thing came after Microsoft had already had Netscape in its sights. In response to Microsoft going after their browser with their monopoly, Netscape expanded their server offerings from web server to include other stuff that competed with Microsoft's BackOffice and they did Communicator to almost be a groupware suite. While Communicator may not have helped, the Netscape ship was already on fire for Microsoft attacks at that point.
