I think I was around 30 when I started doing the travel, contract, repeat cycle. By then I had established a reputation for being good at building things and a handful of good contacts at places that needed work done from time to time.

Job hopping helps with the impostor syndrome thing, which everybody has to a degree. After half a dozen stints at different companies each telling you that you're good at what you do, it eventually starts to sink in. It also helps prove to you that you can in fact pick up work quickly when you need it in this industry (usually including a nice rate bump). And of course, the more people you work for, the bigger the list of "ex-bosses friends building a team" becomes, and with it the pool of options for future gigs.

Good luck!
Great article! We need more "practical rational knowledge" infused arguments in a sea of over-engineered "download and configure" nightmares!
I think "broadly applicable" is not yet something we can state definitively, because the technology itself is not broadly available. I think it would be like trying to guess if the first computer made by Alan Turing would be broadly applicable at the time it was invented - he surely thought so, yet its invention was only realized in response to code breaking during WWII.

However, the applications are numerous far beyond cryptography. Quantum computing is an entirely different fundamental type of computing that accepts uncertainty at its core, which is actually quite a powerful concept in and of itself. I mean, imagine Boolean logic.. true, false... and now you have "maybe" (due to the nature of qubits)... I think that for stochastic/random processes and modeling the real world, the uncertainty can be a very powerful tool. Of course, that's just one small part of quantum computing.

Ironically enough, it's always the anti-government-spending Republicans who veto such efforts. Now that a Republican President is supporting this, they might finally get behind this as well. It's really a clever form of blackmail when you think about it. "Put our guy in the Oval Office, or we'll veto anything and everything in Congress."
Some good points if you have to do a rewrite, but:

> we developers see a crazy mishmash of old requirements, dead code, unpaid technical debt, and ersatz business logic. We developers see a chance to make things better...

A rewrite to escape technical debt is akin to burning the house down because you are tired of paying the mortgage. A rewrite to get rid of dead code is akin to...I dunno, I cant even think of an analogy. But come on, just install ReSharper, select "find issues", delete all dead code. It will take less time than writing the blog post about the rewrite project.

Rule of thumb: The forces which have caused the previous project to accumulate technical debt are still in effect, so after the rewrite reaches feature parity you will probably have exactly the same amount of technical debt. If on the other hand you introduce measures which can control and reduce technical debt, why not apply them to the current project and save the rewrite?

And you are not going to get rid of the old requirements and ersatz business logic by rewriting, which is one of the good points the article make.

I'm saying that free services are easily abused because of the lack of up front cost and ease of forging contact info.

You abuse a service, the service is terminated, you got to utilize it for a while and suffered no penalty aside from having to sign up for a new account.

You use a stolen credit card, the service will be terminated and now that stolen credit card can be reported for abuse as well.

A legitimate account that is paying for service and has legitimate contact information can actually make contact and rectify the issue, clear up a misunderstanding or be made aware that their domain is being abused in some way.

I signed up for Sendgrid a few years ago for a company that I worked for and we used it to send the company's first newsletter to 300,000 users in about 14 years. About 70,000 of those bounced and somewhere shortly into delivery process, Sendgrid halted it and called us demanding to know where we got our email list and insisting that we verify user information for multiple addresses that had bounced.

Once we explained the situation and verified everything, they released the halt and that first volley continued creating records for which email addresses we shouldn't be sending to again. Everything was fine from that point forward...but even with a paid account they were actively working at fraud prevention...and as long as there was a legitimate contact on the account it was perfectly reasonable to get resolved.

It's more like appropriately enough, right?
That's an interesting take on it. Is there anything that makes you think that they would spend it on climate issues and pollution if it wasn't spent on space exploration?
That sounds like a minus to me.
Short Answer: Anno

Until their depiction in Neon Genesis Evangelion in 1995, power lines were virtually non-existent in anime. After all, why draw them when they take up more time and effort during a time-packed production schedule? However, Hideaki Anno, the director of the aforementioned anime, began to implement them in backgrounds, bringing in a new kind of mechanical urban aesthetics. Anno has a certain kind of obsession with mechanical structures, such as power lines and rail tracks, as he likes the way they continue into a distance. He continued depicting them in his later works, such as Kare Kano as well as live action features such as Shiki-jitsu, Love and Pop and his recent blockbuster Godzilla Resurgence[1]. Given how Evangelion revolutionized anime, the industry quickly followed its influence including its aesthetics.

Do the laws we have actually reflect this distinction? Or is it just the "profit" going to executives and asset managers instead of shareholders?
But the parent point was that the coaches/programs paid for themselves, but if you have to figure in 100 scholarships at $10-50k/yr that's $10-50M ignoring the cost of the stadium. I don't see most (>50%) Div1 teams making back that kind of money from their Alumni.

The irrationality here lies in the completely misguided idea that education should be a good you pay for individually. The benefit to society of having an educated populace far outweighs the costs of education for the individuals.

In other words, it makes sense for government to heavily subsidize it. If, that is, government were interested in the welfare of its populace instead of the welfare of its donors.

No.

This argument is based on a long-outdated understanding of the law. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act extends immunity even to services exercising editorial control over content.

See Zeran v. AOL:

[L]awsuits seeking to hold a service liable for its exercise of a publisher's traditional editorial functions – such as deciding whether to publish, withdraw, postpone or alter content – are barred. The purpose of this statutory immunity is not difficult to discern. Congress recognized the threat that tort-based lawsuits pose to freedom of speech in the new and burgeoning Internet medium. [...] Section 230 was enacted, in part, to maintain the robust nature of Internet communication [...] ."

"Congress' clear objective in passing §230 of the CDA was to encourage the development of technologies, procedures and techniques by which objectionable material could be blocked or deleted."[5] Since distributor liability would have the effect of disincentivizing the filtering of content by third parties, the court found that such laws were in conflict with the "purpose and objectives of congress," and were thus preempted
I'm curious how far practical implementations of the NIST guidelines take the advice to preempt dictionary attacks by not letting users choose known bad choices. Of course the advice is perfectly reasonable, but when a user can't choose 'password', they will probably try 'password1' - not really much safer against the usual password cracking software, do you check that too then? But I guess the article mentions that dilemma too. I guess it's again a tradeoff between not annoying the user and annoying the password cracker sufficiently. :)

The big advantage is that it runs within Windows, so you can use your Windows and Linux tools at the same time. It's also not done as a virtual machine, so the Ubuntu running on Windows can access and manipulate files on your Windows system very easily.

ISPs are providing a service to their users: the internet. Their users pay for internet access (not just a certain subset) and they decide that they want to use the bandwidth for Youtube or Facebook. 5mbps on a "cable in the snow" is 5mbps regardless if it's coming from Youtube or Netflix or some indie company.

This. 10 times this. I moved to MacOS 10.3 in 2004 because the things I did professionally were almost all in Linux (which I had been running in the data center literally since 1994), and MacOS felt and acted like Linux with a nice GUI. I lived most of my life in Terminal and rarely noticed the difference between when I was ssh'd in to a server or working locally. Awesome stuff.

I doubt Windows 10's inclusion of ssh alone addresses this use case; for that you'd want a full cygwin or something. I don't know anymore - I don't use Windows for any purpose other than games on dedicated gaming computers these days. Despite Apple going backwards with each successive macOS release (probably since 10.8) it's still a much more usable OS for the majority of the things I do than Windows 10. I do like Windows 10 better than Vista and 7, though, on my current gaming computer.
I wasn't. See also: common carriers and the protections and expectations that go with that.
"slightly more interesting/general problem"

I'd say there's no great sin in solving a slightly more general problem than what you currently face. In fact, that's often net simpler almost immediately; it's not long before a function to format a URL is simpler than simply manipulating a URL every time. (Even ignoring the simpler issues.) The problem arises when you have something like "Let's see... I need a database... let's write an ORM." Whoops. (Speaking from harsh experience there.)
If I had to blindly guess, their infrastructure can't keep up with the horde of people jumping in to make their millions.
Perhaps it competes with a favoured provider or someone who has paid for promotion?
There is a different use case though.

Keybase already has your Public Key so to prove you own a domain it is sufficient to put a signature up and available in DNS to validate this claim.

An attacker does not have this validation signature and can thusly not arbitrarily sign sites as you.

I don't see how keybase would help for a Certificate Validation, especially since Keybase makes no actual attempts at indentifying you (that is a problem of your social circle on keybase)
Portuguese guy here to clarify.

These are just addons to your regular package, they allow you to customize your plan according to your needs. The regular packages have different tiers that go anywhere from 500Mb to 10Gb of data included, which is more or less the same amount of data that the other ISPs in the country provide. There are no unlimited mobile data packages in Portugal, in any ISP, except the special plans for 4G personal hotspots.
These addons just mean that if you pay more, the data from the services /apps that you use more often wont count to your regular data cap, to a limit of up to 10Gb per month.

In my case (I'm with another ISP), I pay 4€ per week and have 5Gb of "regular" data to use per month, plus another 5Gb just for video platforms (like Youtube and Twitch), and then there are several apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Skype, Spotify, etc, that don't consume any data from the plan, they're free to use. They also provide a premium Spotify account for free, which is nice.

For me, as a client, this is actually good, even tough it's far from neutral. I never go over the data cap, and I rarely use Wi-Fi even when I'm at home, because the apps that I use more often are "free" and I still have 5Gb of data to use on whatever else I want.
If anything the problem in the original link is that that particular ISP is charging for something that the other ISPs provide for free.

It's also important to notice that Portugal has a communications regulatory authority (ANACOM), similar to the FCC, but that actually works, and defends the interests of the consumers. Just today they announced that all the ISPs will be fined in excess of 1 million euros, and face a possible class action law suit due to increasing prices without an explicit permission from the costumers.

So yeah, where actually doing good here.

For the same reasons the EFF was angry at Cloudflare for shutting down a website we all hated: The Daily Stormer; only, I honestly think this is worse, as here they didn't even have the decency to do it in an obvious way, and they are doing it to an ancillary service (DNS) for things being done (sending emails) outside their platform.

> How does this interact with trademark law?

The concept of a "phishing site" is a bit nebulous: it is essentially "I sent you an email claiming to be one party, but I am actually a different party; I will then use this trickery to steal your account credentials or otherwise mess with you"; however, if I put a real service on the other end... is this illegal? What differentiates "this is Amazon, your package has shipped, log in at this website to find out what happened: Amaz0n.com" from "this is Amaz0n, a legitimate and new company providing a new service for your Amaz0n account; log in at this website to find out more: Amaz0n.com".

Is it that the second one registered a company? Is it that the second one stood up a silly fake web service? This aside about trademark law was just to show that "phishing" is not an objective category: that there will be things I consider phishing that you do not, and vice versa; it isn't like you can look at an email, analyze it, and say "nope: this is phishing"; without knowing the full intent and process behind the website, the best you can usually figure out is "this is a trademark violation".

> Why does shadowbanning phishing accounts automatically lead to stopping people from sending emails based on their content?

I don't understand the question, as that was the entire premise of this post by Cloudflare: the DNS records were changed to indirectly block email being sent by causing DMARC to reject the email at the target email server. This was done because of the content of the emails being sent by the people who owned the DNS records: in this case, it was due to them running a phishing operation. (Did you read the article?)
