I suspect the backlash won't come from government, but from the "people". It will also not be directed exclusively at big tech, but at all tech - and to an extent all technicians. I don't see this occurring for another 5 years or so, but when (if) it does, it will not be pretty.
HSTS was created specifically to prevent the MITM from downgrading HTTPS to HTTP.

As for MITM blocking a protocol, that is a noticeable situation, and one that does not give the attacker any control over the cryptography used on sensitive data.
A downgrade attack is very different from blocking a protocol. The user doesn't notice, and the attacker gains some control over the cryptography used.

In the end, what sense does it make to have a TLS version an attacker can opt out of? All you get is defence against passive MitM. Until we aren't safe against those passive MitM with TLS 1.2 it makes no sense to rush TLS 1.3.
Especially because that rush would really hurt when it turns our TLS 1.2 is insecure, at which point the rushed solution becomes vulnerable to all active MitM attacks.

Now consider, what level of access to infrastructure only allows for passive MitM?

There actually was a way to do this. It no longer works as of iOS 11 though.

Thank you for the inspiration :) I think the Sunday-alarm is a great idea.

Yeah, I'm sorry, if it's good enough, then it's good enough. I get that as a power user, you want the native speed, the native experience, and it's something I value too, I guess just not as much as you. Something in my hands that I can use today is more important to me.
I'm sorry, but usually people can't waste their time working in easy to understand datasets with a wiki for amateurs (for free), unless it's for some kind of teaching (that they're being paid for). If you're really willing to you can start studying some of the Physics you're talking about (honestly, any physicist could tell you still haven't), it's the easiest way to get to know which really old papers you have to check. Maybe you can do some lab work in an educational environment and learn what to do with raw data after you understand the experimental setup, what's being measured and how it's being measured: that's the key to know what you are doing. Modern big experiments, for instance in HEP, expect from you a significant effort and having to deal with particular frameworks, that means a few months full-time at least and you need people around that can answer your questions. I don't mean to sound harsh, but honestly your questions are too broad (it doesn't work like that), and imprecise... for instance, you don't "calculate the efficacy of [a theory]" in Physics, and data don't "defend the theory's math". Not at all.
Not the first or the last time management has co-opted terms from academic fields :). Social psychology is especially ripe for this.

See also: "Paradigm shift" was coined by a physicist to talk about scientific revolutions, IIRC.
Methinks the operational gains could be done for 1/100th or less of the $30B+ the A380 cost. Failing at a huge project isn't a way to get governments to back off, it's a way to get them to realize they should stop funding you.
> This is for emails originating from insurance companies.

That was the part I misunderstood. I thought it was for physician offices sending information to the insurance company.

> Pretty simple. As far as physicians communicating with each other and pharmacies, they typically use faxes and phone calls.

And that's an issue that could be addressed if all entities had a PKI set up such that they could communicate online regardless of application protocol used while maintaining compliance with HIPAA).

The answer is likely a non-issue, such as some connections not being pinned and possible to intercept if you install a custom root CA on your device.

The submitter mentioned something along these lines, if I understand correctly, in his only other HN submission.
Even if they pull all of that off, which I'm suspicious of, I don't see what justifies the valuation.

The only way it made sense to me is if Uber achieved the same sort of dominance that Google has in search or Facebook in social networking. But Uber's market share is declining [1], and I just don't see a moat that allows them to be able to extract monopoly/monopsony rents.

Just the other day a friend caught an Uber in a strange city. The driver, who drove for multiple providers, encouraged her to use Lyft instead. And Lyft is hardly the only competitor; starting a pseudo-taxi provider is just not hard. So I think Uber won't be profitable for long even in the driverful car market. And when driverless cars come along, the amount of possible well-funded competitors (BMW, GM, Ford, Virgin, Enterprise, Google, etc, etc) means it's unlikely to get better.

Great support for terminal, low amounts of notifications, and good peripheral support are mostly why I enjoy OS X. Cloud based alternatives to their built in apps are vastly better.
If you want a forecast of how ridesharing companies will settle out, tear the route map out of an inflight magazine. There is no global airline, but many regional airlines that provide international connectivity to other regional airlines.

It makes sense that each major region will have 2 or 3 dominant operators including local taxis. In the long term, a local operator will have advantages due to better local knowledge, government relations, etc.

Roaming agreements will take the equivalent of Star Alliance, and primarily of value for international travelers. Most users will interact with their preferred local operator. Note this has been tried already, but failed due to parties not trusting each other, but will probably be tried again once territories are more nailed down.
I suspect that the reason Elon is investing in the Boring Co is to send a drill to Mars to create underground structures cheaply. This would create structures protected against radiation (and alot of space) relatively easily.

I work for a physics journal and when we make articles for the public to describe findings we have the opposite problem when it comes to authors. Scientists especially in theory are reluctant to ascribe much at all to their research other than the phenomenon shown. In research this is a good thing, but when we want to show the public what these very theoretical or specialist discoveries mean to our total understanding of physics it is not as helpful. Just getting anyone to speculate what a finding means is hard.

In this case, this is something that might explain a CP violation that can explain why we exist in a universe of matter. To a physicist, explaining it is a CP violation is grandiose enough. But in reality the title is not at all misleading as CP parity is one of the biggest unsolved problems in physics, and yes it is a mystery as to why we have a universe of matter that exists. So while it may seem ambitious to a person in the field, it is indeed truthful and exciting research.
This. For example, I talked to the chef of the restaurant that won Le Fooding's best chef in 2017 about his older restaurant and there is a whole movement in France called bistronomie, which is all about serving great creative food, without the trapping of the luxury restaurant. That is no tablecloths, no hierarchy of waiters, just a bistrot, but with Michelin level food.

Agreed - this is a good way to learn. Also for a little incentive take/study the 3 associate AWS cert courses on acloudguru and/or linux academy and then take the exams. These are good intros on most of AWS. You will learn something and you get some resume fodder. However, treat the study as learning the material and not just the exams and you'll come out better in the end.

The number you are looking for is household discretionary income -- the money left over after taxes, housing, utilities, food, transportation, and other necessities are paid for. It is the money available for saving or spending on luxuries.

The US average discretionary income per household: ~$21,000. That leaves plenty of room for a few $130/head meals. Despite income stagnation, the US middle class still has amazing amounts of discretionary income compared to the rest of the industrialized world.
So to sum up what you're saying, you're a hypocrite and no matter what anybody says showing you how much of a hypocrite you are, you're just going to dig in. Got it.
The real danger in this pattern is that people do not inherit until they are themselves retired or soon to be. My grandparents didn't die until my parents were both in their 60s. Not getting an inheritance is pain for a young person but they can live on. For someone planning on that money to fund a retirement, someone who is about to stop working due to age anyway, not getting it is life-altering.
Well the above to one extent or the other have all of the above but outsourcing companies are on par as far as perks. I am working for fairly large public US company and all of the above mentioned have nicer offices and more perks :). The reason I mentioned these is because they are to some extent well known.
I don't think I agree. Being fearful about specifics - she was talking about making sure servers don't lag, loads, etc. - is actually a green flag when hiring.

JQuery is great for some frontend glue, but I'd try to learn some of the new frameworks.

I tried my hand at React, it's doable, and I like it for a prototype, but I'm going to try Vue.js next because it's supposed to be much easier.

Angular is supposed to be easier for people coming from the backend.

In any case, frontend development is very frustrating (at least for me), a lot work for little gains sometimes.

There's for sure a tricky balance on what fits into a CS education.

I remember when I was at MIT (oof, over a decade ago), many project-based CS courses where students were just put into teams and expected teamwork to just happen. Sometimes people got along, and the project would go fine. Other times, not so much.

I know I certainly wasn't very well-equipped to handle tension or to have hard conversations about fair distribution of work. And back them, I ended up just avoiding them. Knowing what I know now, even a single lecture on tools for more effective teams or for having hard conversations or giving feedback would have made those projects SO much more valuable in terms of being learning experiences.

Given that effectively using your CS education will involve collaborating with other people to some degree, I do believe that giving more emphasis to the non-technical skills that play a big role in your career would have a hugely positive impact.
> Tyler Cowen points out that there's not a single thing in your list of kitchen appliances that didn't exist in the 50s. People have highly temporally displaced notions, believing that things like washing machines or dishwashers are recent mass consumer items but they're not, they're nearly a century old.

Economists know that GDP measures are skewed by the fact that “a car is not a car” — that is, a new car today is much more than a new car from 30 years ago. It is safer and more comfortable, and consumers who pay the same amount in real dollars for a new car today are better off than consumers who bought a new car in years past.

So the “house” from the Sears catalog isn’t likely comparable to a house today with the same number of rooms. For example, the size of bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, closets, and garages has increased greatly in the last 100 years. New homes are more energy efficient and have safer wiring. Does this close the gap with a $32k house? Not in Silicon Valley, but there are parts of the country where the house (excluding the land, which Sears didn’t include either) is worth around $50k.
I think you're both right:

France is doing everything in its power to keep companies from going there and employing people (by improving worker conditions to the detriment of employers).

But the French government budget would surely also benefit from a devaluation here and there as it always did.

On the positive side, without the EU the French agricultural sector would have to face the plain market and get along with a few dozens of billions less per year, so there's that.

For a little bit more data I cannot recommend enough the Economic Libery Index: http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking

France is 72nd, quite a few ranks after countries such as Albania, Kosovo, Rwanda, Kazakhstan, ...

Unsurprisingly, Government Spending and Labor Freedom are the worst elements of its index value.
Of course, looking only at OECD countries is serious cherry picking good governments to begin with.
A good group project with people who are mature enough to handle someone's expression of vulnerability without judgement might be what keeps them in the class.

In Japan, company struggles are first blamed on the management chain. Not the employees, not bad luck. The people in charge. If new management can’t sort things out then it must be they workers.

This also appear to apply to subsidiaries in other countries. Given the way Uber has been going, next year is going to get interesting. Given Uber’s struggles, if SoftBank follows the playbook, they won’t touch anything for a full fiscal year. If things don’t improve, expect to see multiple executive heads roll in the second fiscal year, all on the same day. In the third if profits haven’t improved, expect a layoff of regular employees to make the numbers work.

After that, depending on how aggressive they have to get, there could be a whole other set of reasons not to want to work at Uber...
The problem with Uber/Didi in China is that the driver will Always call to discuss your pickup location in Mandarin, which can be difficult enough face-face.

The further complication is that Didi only accepts patent through a China bank account. As a result, you usually need a local friend to book your ride, even if you pay cash.

But in a 2D histogram you encode the 3rd dimension with color. So if you use color to encode the 4th dimension, you can take slices through the 3rd and get a decent sense of what's going on. That's how MRI scans work.

The second edition of Jack Bogle's "Little Book of Common Sense Investing" came out this last October. It goes into detail in evaluating active investment such as what's being recommended in this article v.s. passive investment.

Plainly put, I've yet to see any compelling evidence that the supposed experts being quoted in this article can time the market as they're suggesting with their suggestion of getting out of tech stocks now.

The percentage of active management firms that can beat the index funds even before you factor in their high fees is so miniscule that random chance could account for those low numbers.

The market's almost definitely heading for a bit of a crash in a few years, but it's instructive to look at how passive v.s. active investing did in 2008 (detailed in this book) to see how much these supposed experts really know.

Ditching Social Media: The Unexpected Perks
Yea, I'm not justifying the valuation at all, just the business model
Well you could always avoid the tech heavy indices, but then you're sort of actively managing your positions rather than letting it be purely passive.

Theoretically, is not another growing peril of indexing that it removes incentives for companies to behave well or outperform, since if they're part of an index their shares will be bought automatically by retirement plans and investors anyway, irregardless of performance or competency?

And yet another theoretical peril question would be, if everyone is indexing, it surely must lose it's efficacy because it is no longer efficient, will indexing then not underperform? I suspect if or when that happens, active management will regain interest.

Indexing by the masses is a fairly new trend, it will be interesting to see how the markets handle the behavior long term.

I never said their valuation is justified, just that their business model works. The costs of providing their booking service is small compared to the revenues it generates. The only question is how much do they have to spend on end user marketing and driver recruitment.

Actually it's an excellent feature of the ecosystem. Consider the old "cross of gold" canard, the accusation is that the economic powers that be were inhibiting cooperation and productive investment by monopolising and artificially controlling the money supply, restricting it to manufacture recessions and flooding it to manufacture booms. The proposed solution was silver backed money at the time, which was vigorously opposed, eventually successfully, by the parties which held control of the gold supply at the time.

What if it wasn't just two widely held and distributed elements they had to corner the market on and maintain supply control for, but practically any arbitrary blockchain that someone believes is necessary given the lack of availability in the other forms of money in present circulation. It makes it much harder to manufacture recessions when your target audience can simply mint their own uncensorable high quality cryptocurrency out of widely available code by simply tweaking a few variables to fit their purposes.

At the same time it doesn't take away from the value proposition of more established cryptocurrencies, because it is always obvious that these alternative chains are not units of the original currencies from which they were spawned. If people truly are simply trying to pointlessly expand the money supply for no reason, then the market will eventually punish them as that money is used in economically unproductive pursuits.

When all is said and done, a blockchain is just a globally available tamperproof digital ledger. And given that territory, you can build any given economy on top of it.
