Ahh.. OK. Yeah, I wasn't trying to make a realistic example. Yes, completely agree with your reply.

By the way I think the reason that people, including myself, are confused about what exactly security by obscurity means, is that even the experts don't explain it very clearly.

An example that always comes into my mind when we talk about security by obscurity is the one give int he "Applied Cryptography" book:

"If I take a letter, lock it in a safe, hide the safe somewhere in New York, then tell you to read the letter, that's not security. That's obscurity."

I wasn’t in 500 startups or associated with them in any way but I wanted throw out there that I agree with waleedka. There’s absolutely no value in GP’s post and potentially does harm to the truth.
If they grab it, get buy-in, do well, and make sure it integrates with others, then that's a person that you want. The others can show competence with other people.

If they grab it and there is conflict over how they did it, then that isn't a hire.

Getting "the sexiest piece" isn't important. You need to convince the interviewers that they want to have you on their team. Being willing to take necessary scutwork that others don't want is a pretty positive characteristic.
Oh you sure can.

One theory is that it is his way of signaling. (source: https://www.quora.com/Whats-with-Bruce-Schneier-and-squids)

My guess is that he just likes squids, and it is sometimes it is important to step back and do something that isn't super-serious once in a while.
>All snark aside, I'd guess that the vast amount of Uber security staff's role is investigating driver fraud.

I thought most companies separate out pure infosec from anti-fraud? Some orgs may house both under the bubble of risk management but there's a big difference between a security engineer and an anti-fraud analyst.
My point was that the actual payload is mainteance-heavy.

On the other hand it is certainly true that RCS of such satellite would require exceedingly large stores of RCS supplies which will invariably run out and have to be somehow replenished.

Edit: even hall thrusters require stores of xenon and with the precision required the amount consumed is far from practical.
Since Shkrelli made his investors whole by fraudulently putting more of his own money into the fund, are the investors then on the hook for paying back the money that Shkrelli 'stole' from himself?
Many of these covers are from the 90s, so they obviously do not use the latest cover design trends. I've seen lots of lists recommending books for programmers and many of the ones listed here are routinely among them. They are classics in the field.
Even building a cube-sat that never leaves your desk would be an interesting hobby project, really. Non-experts would certainly learn a ton from doing so, and you'd end up with a cool conversation piece, if nothing else.
Data Exposure at Stanford GSB Wider Than Reported
I was just kind of thinking out loud. I should probably look the thing up. I have zero familiarity with it.

I only recently heard of the very low numbers I cited above and have been feeling like "Damn! Someone should do something to redress this!" And then you said your thing and my big feels and half baked idea came spilling out.

It very much upsets me. My dad was career army and fought in WW2. I grew up in a nice house in the suburbs financed by the GI Bill.

My dad was part Cherokee. Only about 1/16th, but there is an actor who is full blooded Iroquois who looks uncannily like my father in some photos. Dad was very white passing. But then about 70 percent of African American DNA is European. In the US, if you are 1/8th African, you are "black." It is very arbitrary.

So, I find myself pretty incensed. It hits a nerve for me.
How about legislating a carrot rather than a stick - e.g. every housing unit within a given radius gets an annual $1000 rebate on their property tax if new, affordable housing is built within their neighborhood? As it stands today there is no perceived short-term benefit for home owners to support new development. No matter how many well heeled YIMBY groups sprout up, they will always be far outnumbered by local homeowners.

Perhaps, but uncertainty plagues all those in the borderline's sphere of influence, and more likely than not, it's a save yourself situation. If you are realistically willing to give your life for this BPD, then by all means stick it out and good luck to you. But don't presume it is any more hopeful than highly unlikely of even leading a troubled relationship. Most likely a relationship full of anguish - probability speaking.
IQ test tell you how good someone is at pattern recognition, which is a major factor in abilo to learn. It doesn't tell you what they have learned, or if they have the criticality important skill of perseverance/grit. In fact, high IQ can reduce grit, since clever pattern matchers use their cleverness to avoid working hard on the toy problems of childhood.

> Contractually, the purchaser is not allowed to release it "commercially" which means they could release it for free. It has nothing to do with any copyright laws.

Someone who buys it from a government auction is not bound by any contract signed by the original purchaser. They are still bound by copyright law, although the copyright holder (presumably Wu-Tang Clan) could (and likely would) allow them to exhibit it or give it away.

I feel like that's a bit like saying what's the maximum speed of travel over land, in 1850 you might say "theoretically infinite or the speed of light, but practically, about the speed of a horse." The practical estimate is sort of useless because in a few decades there will be cars, jets, etc.
Googling Amateur-DSN will probably give you a link to the Yahoo group where the people who do that kind of thing hang out. The short answer is that yes, numerous interplanetary probes can be received by amateurs with moderate effort/expenditure, but reception from the Voyagers is out of the question without access to a massive antenna.
> Sorry for the rant, but as you can imagine I'm done with GCP and can't wait to head back to AWS land.

Nonsense, the feedback is much appreciated! Thanks for taking the time!
I've read most of those books, and while I wouldn't discourage anyone from reading them, I don't think it's a great reading list either. You'll have to dig through a bit of cruft to get to the gems.

Partly, it's that programming books have such low lifespan that the ones that still get recommended after a decade are often deeply assimilated into programmer culture already. For example, when I read Clean Code and Pragmatic Programmer last year, I didn't find any of it to be interesting or remotely surprising - but I have been working at "agile" shops for a while, and perhaps those ideas were more revelatory when the books first came out.

Here's a more fun reading list, based off my own tastes. Maybe some of these are on the list, but I found it hard to scroll past a certain point as well:

- Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets

- The Nature of Computation

- The Little Schemer

- Programming Pearls
It seems likely that the government would auction it off if they did take it. Clearly they're aware of its value, and there's no benefit from sticking it in a secret vault next to the Ark of the Covenant (as cool as that would be).
I think the key term here is "dictatorship". There's been capitalist dictatorships as well, and they've been terrible (Franco in Spain comes to mind for example).

I wouldn't be worried by the modern rejection of capitalism, because it's definitely not a rejection of democratic systems. In fact, if anything, it's fueled by the failure of democracy in the face of the inevitable oligarchy product of capitalist economics. If anything, I see this as a wave of people trying to save democracy.
Ah, thanks for the information and clarification!

Health Care HIPAA code exposed causing $3 Trillion decline in Health Care
I'm not so sure failed is accurate. Ultimately, Google wanted more having ibternet access and faster speeds. That has happened, at least where I live (in NJ near Princeton).

That said, NN is more a political issue at this point and that's Google's kryptonite.
Both sides of that are actually debatable - there are arguments to be made for biological determinism, and thus that your political views are NOT a choice, and some of the people arguing in favor of 100+ genders or transracialism really seem to act like gender and race can be a choice...
>“When it comes to an open internet, Twitter is part of the problem,” Pai said. “The company has a viewpoint and uses that viewpoint to discriminate.”

I think the implication that while net neutrality to some degree[1] ensured neutrality in carrying much data indiscriminately, it did very little to ensure neutrality at the edge (that is, Twitter could decide it wanted to silence any minority or majority with impunity). So if an edge provider can discriminate what is allowed, does that undermine the ideal of net neutrality?

With Goog-Twitt-Face being the triumvirate of gatekeepers I think this concern deserves some consideration.

Really biased wrap up.
Read the DSM description. If you are a technologist you will recognize the format, it is a set of tests that you can likely apply yourself. While I recommend leaving it to a professional, your own curiosity can lead to quite a bit of learning.

You're making the mistake of assuming open source means "something you that's not your job."

This is false.

Most open source development is paid work. Many people "get into open source" by accepting a regular day job.

Yes. But who often provides that? Verizon, and now Comcast as well. Same players, slightly different service.

A mixture of both? It's ludicrous to assume all enterprises are equal, or that companies should be allowed to grow as big as they want. Yet here we are; Healthcare and university education is run like any other business, banks are so big that if they fail the whole economy falls with them, cable-providers are so big they can buy the FCC, etc.

There are enterprises that IMO are not meant to be run by private, for-profit orgs, or should be capped on size.
Penalties in these cases are based on losses suffered, and there were no losses.

The US government is attempting to make an example out of Shkreli.
Not necessarily. They faced regulatory issues with some states.

The carriers deployed proxy infrastructure to inspect and control traffic and were definately experimenting with limiting apps deemed disruptive in the 2013-2014 timeframe. If you had an app that generated lots of small packets in a short period of time, you’d run into it on some networks.
You are standing on the shoulders of a giant star with your writing there.

I could easily be wrong here, from the article it sounds like the remaining power reserves are only enough to correctly orientate Voyager to allow for its communications link to be pointing towards Earth.

If so and Voyager only has enough power to do some minor rotations of the probe for three more years it's unlikely that there is enough power to actually change its overall trajectory, even if fired all at once.

BTW thanks for your comment, it was nice to hear Carl Sagan again :)
Oh I agree that trusting Microsoft is not a wise move, I'm just disappointed in the way the open source community clings to such archaic tools and methodologies when there is a demonstrably superior approach. Maybe you're all "that's just, like, your opinion man", but I think if you actually used both Powershell and the UNIX toolset day to day, you'd find that it is objective fact.
I read it more like a word, like "journalish" similar to bit.ly etc.
Seems super common and overhyped for the HN or /prog/ community, sure. Though, at 5 jobs over 3 years I haven't worked with a single person who's ever heard of SICP (or really any programming book for that matter). That includes security & big Data work at a Fortune 500.

Quite few professional programmers (in the grand scheme of things) actually read programming books unless they're forced to.
Not everyone who owns a home has purchased it decades ago...
People are selfish; if they make a big investment and you're about to reduce its value, they will fight tooth and nail. Any conversation about 'right', 'wrong', 'moral', it all goes out the window.

Yet this problem got started in the 1970s: https://jakeseliger.com/2015/12/27/why-did-cities-freeze-in-..., and I don't think human nature suddenly changed then. So what did?

In addition, Tokyo doesn't have this problem: https://www.vox.com/2016/8/8/12390048/san-francisco-housing-....

So it's probably something other than pure selfishness per se.
