>Personally, I really like my coworking space. But I got one that's 10 minutes away. Isn't there something closer to you?

No, I'm out in the sticks. Hence why I fancy remote dev work :)

>Also, I have the feeling that you're overthinking this. Sit down at 08:30. Grab a brownbagged sandwich from 12:30 to 13:00. Then work until 17:00. Done, go home and enjoy your spare time.

I'm really trying to do that. Problem is a few hours time zone difference between me and my workplace. They are ahead of me. So what usually happens is I constantly end up staying up late in order to get them something they can test out in the morning (before I sign back on) that a way when I came back the next day for work, I will know whether what I did the day before is working or not. But I guess that is not working...

Even if you get the first shot in, there’s no guarantee that the persons friend won’t hit you in the back of the head with a bottle of beer and leave you struggling with a nasty concussion. Or the person you hit strikes their head on a hard surface, killing them. Or some cop or DA decides to make an example of your assault case, and you lose your job or have to do jail time. Just because you only intended to throw a punch doesn’t mean things can’t go badly out of hand.
Linux still wins by a landslide by also running on billions of ARM cellphones that don't have IME chips.

That being said, it is also reasonable to expect a lot of modems, RAM, and hard drives could use MINIX for their control processors.

> ammunition

Wat? Does US law not require ammunition be stored in a gun safe!?
I didn't downvote you. I'm guessing it's about two things.

The parent said the majority of the US states. [1] The premise there is - based on the data I've seen at least - in many states trucking is the most common specialized job. Sales and office jobs are non-specific as a super category. It doesn't make a lot of sense to compare something as extremely vague and varied as "sales" to trucking. Food prep & serving, does have some claim on the most common job, although that's generally a much lower tier of work in terms of pay and upside potential (fry cook, cashier or runner at McDonald's vs making $80k a year long-haul, not very comparable skill-sets).

And you didn't go any deeper on the numbers in response to large differences between states in employment (given the parent proclaimed "in the majority of US states"). For example, in some states is transportation and material moving a more common job than food prep, and which states are those? (etc etc)

[1] According to NPR's Planet Money, truck driver is in fact the most common job in most states. They reach that conclusion by dumping the overly vague super categories such as sales.

What was so bad about Kaspersky that you consider it good riddance? I recall reading about legitimate good security work and breach investigations from them just a few years ago. It's not like anybody forced you to use their software.
>Never visit bars, or at least limit yourself to the very top tier.

I.e. "don't have fun if you're not rich enough to do it the best way possible."

This is probably the most common advice given on the Internet. The Internet loves telling other people how to spend their money.
If you have time, video your stuff for insurance. Go through drawers, closets, boxes. Narrate it.
You're forgetting the 3k includes maintenance (fluid, brake pad and tire replacement are of particular note here, if we're comparing it to cost of ownership in the first 3 years) and insurance, both of which can be significant on a sports car.

Although if I were in the position to decide between using this service and purchasing (I can dream, can't I?), I would purchase the vehicle (well actually I would buy a Dodge Demon, still dreaming here).
Whether it is actually being used is irrelevant. Security is about confidence that unauthorized access is impossible, not about whether unauthorized is happening right now. An unlocked door is not secure against unauthorized entry merely because noone has opened it yet, what makes it insecure is the fact that anyone who wants to can walk through it whenever they want.

It is not even relevant whether the door was left unlocked intentionally. An unlocked door is a security problem, whether it was put in place intentionally or due to negligence.
If there's time, I'd also take photos of any higher value items you're leaving behind. It removes the risk of being unable to prove you owned something.
I think it'd be much preferable to turn the power off before leaving.
Its indicative of an extremely high barrier to entry into the CPU market, and certainly a large part of that has to do with both industry collusion to keep competition down and the behavior of corrupt government actors under their payroll.

It also shows that the market of people willing to put money where their mouth is on this are fairly few and far between. The Raptor workstation crowdfunding campaign promised to get rid of all the proprietary firmware in the system and failed by a large margin.

I would turn off the water lines as well. On the chance the house doesn't burn but is damaged, preventing water damage and flooding may make some property significantly more salvageable.

(Unless the house has sprinklers, of course, or other fire suppression, obviously.)

As long as the IMS bearing hasn't already gone out, it's just(!) a matter of budgeting for replacement when you price the car.

some NSA TAO employee was doing work on their home computer

Given that they haven't been charged, it's pretty likely there's more to this story.

Two possibilities:

It wasn't actually their home computer, but it was a non-classified system where code was being move for non-attributable active deployment.

The code was developed or acquired in a non-classified space first.

There are probably more possibilities too. There's some good speculation here: https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/10/06/the-conflicting-homewo...
I'm using it for couple of months now. Great for simple queries, especially when you just quickly need to plot out data to see what's going on. Usually I did these things in matplotlib, pandas and it takes a lot of time to prepare the basics.

Once you need something complicated, you will have to or spend decent amount of time preparing the data or back to coding.

Simple advice - if you have a hose around your house just spray your roof and all around your property for an hour. I heard someone in your situation (right now) who did exactly that. His house is the only one that survived the fire in his neighborhood.
> By contrast, kendo never introduced electrical scoring, and still uses human judges. A judge can refuse to award a point if an attack connected but didn't have enough force behind it

One thing is that this makes it sound like "force" is the primary measure of scoring for kendo, but it's not. Judges (there are three, majority is required for a point) have significant leeway in judging hits and one of the primary, if not THE primary criteria is whether the striker displayed proper "spirit," which can be explained in various ways.

A forceful strike that simply does not show intention would never be given a point; in fact, at lower levels where such things happen, it wouldn't be uncommon for a clearly reckless, forceful strike to a target area to be given a foul.

Valid scoring areas are also incredibly limited and unrealistic.

The point I'm trying to make in a roundabout fashion is that kendo is just as much a victim of sportification via rules as fencing. :)
I wonder if there's an opportunity to reduce the privacy problem by having the phones log data to an intermediate server. The intermediate server will be open-source and run by a trusted entity (EFF, Apache Foundation, whoever). OnePlus will be able to submit whatever code they want to this server after a public privacy-focused code review by the trusted entity.

The proxy server will aggregate and anonymise the data before uploading it to upstream OnePlus servers. For example, it can strip out IP addresses. Eliminate data points which are too few and can therefore dangerous. Maybe if too few people are using an app, records about the usage of that app aren't uploaded to upstream OnePlus servers. If OnePlus wants to know how many photos an average user is taking, the intermediate server could just that information, or percentiles, not data about each individual user. These are all not possible to do on-device.

With this, we don't have to worry about what code is running on the phone, or what OnePlus servers are doing, both of us are closed-source and unavailable to us to inspect. But the intermediate server will be open-source.

> Most of them bill for more hours than they're actually coding.

I pretty much figured that. Problem is how we manage our internal work flow is based on tickets with an amount of hours allocated to each one. Some have 4 or 8, others have 40+. Many times I am given 3 or 4 four hour tickets to tide me over for a couple of days (while some bigger tickets are negotiated), but trying to get those 4 four hour tickets done takes all week (or sometimes more). I've stopped really caring if I overrun the times, but the main issue is these smaller tickets branch out across many different apps, all with their own quirks and there is a 3+ hour ramp up time just to get familiar with what the ticket even wants me to do. Then you end up with the dreaded "Why did it take 8 hours just to add a button to a page?" scenario.

It doesn't, but because the IME is so undocumented and most firmwares are so horribly written its dangerous to remove these parts of the firmware image because it might brick your system for completely nonsense reasons (all it takes is the firmware randomly misaddressing into an IME area where there is now no data and failing to make your system unrecoverable without the ability to operate on the flash chip by hand).

Make sure someone else has managed it with your same board to know it works.

I'm not saying I wouldn't do the same, but it's more of a heuristic than "definitive proof."
What do you mean by reports?

If by reports you mean a daily email sent with a table and some graphs attached them both suck. The only tool that I know that excels on this is Reporting Services from Microsoft.

But they are really OK for dashboards and visualizations. Metabase has a pulse feature where you can schedule to send a visualization to email or slack, but not something very fancy.
Yes. They invest it. Not spend it as you claimed above.

And while both keep money moving, they have very different effects on the spender/investor.
They're backdoors because they allow for remote access[1] and we (as in the users who ostensibly "own" our own devices) can't turn them off without going through great difficulty.

Please read the piece linked above on Computrace. I am not very familiar with the inner workings of Find My Mac and other AppleID-associated features but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that those features 1. don't involve injecting code into system processes in the exact same manner as a BIOS-level rootkit and 2. aren't preactivated without the owner's knowledge or consent so the attack surface they create is likely much smaller than that of something like Computrace.

Also, if you like, please elaborate on why the economy of scale argument is "obvious".

[1] https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/05/intel...

Edit: Management coprocessors are also rightly called backdoors because they operate below ring 0 meaning that if we cannot trust them (and we can't because they are largely black boxes to us) then we cannot trust our systems as a whole.
No, it does not, at least nowhere that I’ve ever heard of. Maybe someplace like Chicago, I dunno.
I just looked at the table with dumpkeys, but I'm not sure what I'd have to look for to identify that key.

You use black-box unit tests developed against the Python code. You then write identical code in C++ that produces the same output (i.e. passes the unit tests). Then you apply optimizations/refactoring specific to C++. It is the latter - premature optimization - that is a pain in lower-level languages like C++, and which stops you from getting the correct result.
Wow, that's great. Thanks for the link! It's one of my dreams to have the hardcover (or leather-bound!) collection.

It seems very plausible that the FSB is using Kaspersky to alert them every time the software finds something of interest. It would then make further sense that the FSB would locate the target and investigate. It's probably how they found this NSA Employees PC. Entry to the device was probably rather simple since they already had some level of access through the Kaspersky product.

Quite brilliant to use a popular Anti Virus software to scan millions of computers for interesting software. The FSB probably couldn't believe its luck when they found this target. I am in disbelief that the US Government would even use Kaspersky in the first place. I am just a simple consumer and would never trust their software knowing how the Russian system operates. There is no such thing as independence from oversight.

Leave it to the Jews to figure all this out. Super smart, it's in their genetics.....Bravo...
Not really. Proven trackrecords matter.

Also, Google can shut down this product without thinking twice. A company that has it as their sole product however, can't.

That's a huge difference.
Most of them bill for more hours than they're actually coding. I don't think this is malicious -- it's simply replicating the salaried structure, where goofing off and Facebooking are still part of a work day.

I am a 1099 contract developer and I definitely bill for non-coding time. If there is a bug and I have to read stackoverflow for an hour to fix it, I bill for that hour. You want me to do a code review on your in-house developers' tickets and it takes an hour, I bill for that too. I build for time spent running tests, submitting PRs, merging code, deploying, and updating Jira. I bill for meetings and phone calls, I bill for emails, I even bill for time I spend billing you. 30 hours of coding can easily be 50 hours billed.
So the model is as follows: This network holds the last n blocks (where n is something on the order of months or years.). Spending coins within that time period is unchanged. For every coin outside of those n blocks, the user must hold about 2kb of data per coin. Every n blocks, they must scan the last n blocks before those blocks are discarded to update their state OR rely on a third party archiving service. So if n = 1 year, then oncee a year you must connect to the network and either download the years worth serial numbers from coins outside the current epoch (note that this is much smaller than the years blockchain) or just have a node scan on your behalf given your data.. If you wait longer than a year, then you are out of luck unless you find a copy.
Yes, you are right. Given how cheap they are right now some people get sticker shock when they learn a replacement will cost around $10k. That sometimes is more than half the cost of the whole car.
And especially the gas.

So... why mention that charisma and speaking ability sometimes decide the winner, if they're all so equally matched that I'm somehow egregiously wrong for thinking that it could possibly be a factor, let alone an important and intended one that's a significant part of the point of the thing?

Also: where did "strictly" enter in my post? You seem to rely largely on my post somehow excluding the importance of the actual arguments or any other elements of the competition, which it doesn't. I just thought it was odd you were so dismissive of the public speaking aspect of the competition, as if you'd written "it's strange, but sometimes pastry baking skill wins these pastry baking competitions, which isn't ideal but is kinda OK I guess."

Then I wrote "isn't that a large part of the whole point of it?" and you wrote "pft, they're so beyond baking the baking barely matters, n00b" and now I'm posting, "wait, what?"

I'd suggest reading some of the complaints about their service and support. They have had a whole litany of complaints that span years of operation.

In their defense, I've read that they have improved significantly - but they had a pretty poor reputation to begin with.

While its great to support a company that fights for your rights, it's also prudent to ensure the company meets your service needs.

So, I'd suggest reading sites like WebHostingTalk, and similar. Then, after reading, I'd suggest interacting with them to answer questions and measure things like initial response time. And, of course, basing your judgement on that and not just reviews or willingness to fight for your rights.
