Apparently not. I had a very similar junction outside my house where cars crashed constantly though usually non fatally as it was in a 30 zone. I wrote to the road engineer folk asking for a stop sign and apparently motorists don't take much more notice than of give ways. In the end the cross roads were replaced with two mini roundabouts which have fixed the problem. Physical obstacles are much better at making cars slow down than signs.
For certbot-nginx plugin users, I've had success with --webroot authentication:

For nginx:
location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
default_type "text/plain";
root /home/www/letsencrypt;
}

Then, for SELinux:
chcon -Rt httpd_sys_content_t /home/www

Reload nginx and 'certbot renew --webroot -w /home/www/letsencrypt' has a fighting chance.
The article says:

> In the course of his long career, Sam Clemens lost as many friends as he made. He did not suffer fools or rivals gladly, especially if they wore crinoline.

Is "if they wore crinoline" an oblique way of saying "if they were women," or is it a turn of phrase meaning something else? I ask because I don't feel like many would understand (perhaps I'm wrong, given the forum?) the significance of "crinoline," a material that, as far as I know, is no longer in regular use...

I would lean toward it meaning "if they were women," but the lists after that phrase are generally men, with only two women.
That's just a heuristic though. Given humans can't look into multiple directions at once therr is always the chance that something unforseen well happen in the direction you just stopped looking at. If the truck hadn't stopped, maybe the car behind me in the gap I wanted to me into could have accelerated to closer the gap. Unlikely, especially on the Autobahn, but could easily happen in LA.

Health benefits offset the traffic risks in most studies, see eg. http://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d4521 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar... https://archive.org/details/pubmed-PMC3831097

It's possible that local traffic circumstances invalidate these for many locations, but at least the "generally" part of your claim seems to be reaching too far.
Caddy's current implementation is more resilient than most other ACME clients in the event of an incident like the one Let's Encrypt is currently experiencing. Typical client implementations (such as certbot, but most others too) are configured to use exactly one challenge type at the time of setup and will continue to use this challenge type for renewal attempts, eventually failing to do so in time if the challenge type remains disabled for more than 30 days (or whatever schedule the client uses).

We can argue about the trade-offs of picking the challenge type at random versus, say, trying one and then falling back to another (both approaches have their pros and cons), but that's already more than what you'd typically get from ACME clients.

Thanks for the great feedback. This was our site's first draft so we really appreciate your comments. We'll definitely update it and keep your points above the fold on the homepage. We weren't aware that the private terminals are such an appealing feature to people, but that aspect has been a feature that we've been receiving a lot of positive feedback about so we appreciate you pointing it out. Thank you again and we'll make those changes by tomorrow.
In the urban eastern U.S. apartment buildings usually run right up to the road, except a ~ 1-3meter sidewalk. There isn't sufficient visibility to yield safely; both directions have to come to a stop anyway to check for cross traffic.

In the western U.S. (and eastern suburbs) the 4-way stops are largely vestigial; I'd agree that most of them could go away without any loss of safety. Many of the newer neighborhoods are signed that way anyway, though - I just drove through one this morning with 2-way yields.

My driver's ed class was IIRC 36 hours of instruction and 12 hours in the car, with a professional driving teacher. It had an hour long examination putting me through as many challenging situations as possible at the end.
I have to disagree here. Americans drive pretty nice and relaxed. Not much different from e.g. Sweden or Germany.

But much more relaxed than in Greece, Italy, China, or Thailand, or even Russia.
Right, but why are people willing to pay as much/more for these complexes relative to a shiny high-rise in downtown SF?
There are many great children's books written over the centuries by authors around the world so it is great that Chinese children read them. Also stories from a foreign land are particularly stimulating to children's imaginations.

Can you justify your claim "99% of children's books published in China are imported and translated from other countries, mostly the US"? The claim seems exceedingly silly. Not only is the 99% number impossible I am also pretty sure US is not the majority source of children's books in China. See http://www.shuku.net/novels/mulu/ert.html . The only US book on the list I recognize is "The Wizard of Oz".

>>> I'm not sure it's that difficult for Microsoft.

Yes it is.

AV use various hacks and exploits to hijack calls to the kernel. How did you think they notify you of an infected file before you open the infected file? The AV intercepts kernel API calls to list and open files.

I wouldn't be surprised if the patch for meltdown/spectre breaks these techniques. Generally speaking, these techniques will crash the system if they didn't work as intended. Microsoft doesn't want AV to BSOD millions of computers so they don't update when they detect an AV. It's perfectly reasonable to me.
I’ve known a few MacArthur grant winners, and none of them were wealthy, or even upper middle class. Most were stably employed, but some extra money with no strings attached can really help a lot if people want to set aside time to work on their own projects, not beholden to some employer or grant agency expecting quarterly or yearly status reports with well-defined short-term project goals.

Personal art projects, long-term research projects, etc. are often difficult to get funded because they are risky and may not have an immediate path toward revenue. There is surprisingly little money available in the world designated to fund people’s green-field creative work, with project leads allowed to just hire smart people and tell them to work on whatever interests them for 5+ years without worrying about immediate payoff.
> Since most democracies are less than 200yrs old, the taxation cannot have been as old as civilisation.

That would be true if the concept of taxation was dependent on the concept of democracy (and if it was correct that democracy was less than 200 years old, which is off by around an order of magnitude), which it is quite obviously not; taxation long precedes democracy.

> Historically taxations have been imposed by distant rulers

Historically, taxation (until fairly recently, in-kind; money taxes as the primary form is fairly new) has been imposed at every level from small bands to vast empires; it certainly is not correct that they've normally been imposed by distant rulers.
That's crazy. I find myself frequently having to pause, look around, make sure, etc (and the pausing and looking around in itself is dangerous) so often because of the discrepancy. But as someone born and raised here I've never considered an alternative, and am shocked that the alternative is so simple!
I thought that was the best part. Chilling.
Josh from Let's Encrypt here. I'm not able to give many more details yet, but here's what I can add now:

1) This isn't a relatively simple issue like a bug in our CA code would be. It's an interaction between the protocol and provider services.

2) Disabling TLS-SNI is a complete mitigation for us, meaning it's no longer possible to get an illegitimate certificate from Let's Encrypt by exploiting this issue.

3) We have not yet reached a conclusion as to whether or not the TLS-SNI challenge will need to remain disabled permanently.

4) At this point we have no reason to believe that the vulnerability has been exploited by anyone other than the researcher who figured it out and reported it to us.

Our focus now is on sharing information with relevant parties and looking for less drastic mitigations that might allow us to restore the TLS-SNI challenge option to people who rely on it.

We will, of course, share more information as soon as we can. That might be as soon as the next few hours, things are moving quickly.

Which said laws were preventing this?

OTOH, if it's a desirable social norm, then it's perhaps insufficient for law to fail to prevent it; it may be desirable for law to encourage or even require it as a precondition for the protections associated with the corporate form.

Elon Musk predicts the mass unemployment due to AI & Automation will be a large enough problem to where we'll require a "universal basic income". He then questions where people will then find meaning when their labor is not needed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6HPdNBicM8

Also consider Peter Diamandis discussing how we are heading toward a future of abundance in everything we need, making it significantly less expensive to "get by".
https://www.ted.com/talks/peter_diamandis_abundance_is_our_f...

While I agree we could see a universal basic income, I'd say Elon Musk puts too much weight on what people consider meaning. While most billionaire entrepreneurs love what they do, most of the working class see their jobs as something that prevents them from doing what they love. According to the Washington Post, only 13% of people worldwide like going to work.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/on-leadership/wp/2013/10...

So with these points of view considered, in a future where they go just as predicted, it seems like automation will force a sort of renaissance period with a massive rise in Arts and Entrepreneurship. If people begin making a universal basic income that pays their bills, and machines control everything they can possibly control, suddenly we will have almost the entire automation-replaced workforce spending their time on things that robots can't do in the foreseeable future: Fine-arts, competitive sports/games, and Entrepreneurship. I believe most people who hate their jobs already find meaning elsewhere and now with empty days and no serious financial concerns, it's either do nothing or do something that robots can't. Even the laziest people will become bored of doing nothing

The pre-Renaissance period in Europe shows many similarities to what we are experiencing now on a greater scale. For one, the printing press, among other important inventions, had an enormous impact on the shaping of the renaissance; suddenly, there was no need to re-write the same pages by hand, and the world started moving much faster than they were used to. Secondly, the decline of feudalism is comparable to what Peter Diamandis's "abundance life" would cause: a sudden narrowing of the gaps between classes.

I could be wrong, but a universal basic income wouldn't change how most people find meaning; it would rather provide people the freedom to attempt what they never had time for.

You never disclosed a region, so here is information on the second part of your question for the united states.

There is a beautiful post on the /r/personalfinance reddit of just this topic, recommending reading it. It has tons of background information and relevant links to IRS documentation.

https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/7p9a2t/cry...

In terms of the IRS, they are saying this virtual currency is taxable any time you buy, sell, barter, or even mine.
You could also think of it in risk/reward tradeoffs. B2C is high risk but high reward, B2B is moderate risk and moderate reward (getting a job is low risk and low reward). It's often rational to attempt the high risk/reward payoff a few times and then if it doesn't work out, take what you've got and claim your consolation prize. If you win you win big, but if you didn't you win at something else.

All of the points in the article are reasons why consumer markets are high risk & high reward, but the reason why entrepreneurs focus on them at first is often just that if you're an entrepreneur, you're already the type of person that wants to see what you're capable of before settling for what reality gives you.

This seems clearly false.

Let's say the page with the best information about dogs took an infinite amount of time to load (never loaded). I don't think you'd want that page to be ranked highly.

What about if that page took a year to load?

What about if that page took an hour?

A minute?

What's your cutoff? Let's say, generously, that you're willing to wait 30 minutes for the page to load. Why such a sharp cutoff? Why do pages that take 30 minutes and 1 second to load get penalized, but pages that take 30 minutes are treated as fine? The user experience is basically just as acceptable (by your standards) / just as bad (by my standards).

Perhaps maybe instead of a sharp cutoff we need some sort of sliding scale, where pages that are only slightly slower than optimal are penalized only slightly, and pages that are much slower than optimal are penalized more.

Gosh, that sounds familiar.
> I'd really urge you to use terms like that with great caution and some self-reflection.

I appreciate your comment and I think you're right.
That is not my argument.

My argument is that if in LinkedIn's education section you list a school and a degree -- which he did -- people take that to mean you have the degree. Ergo, he falsely claimed to have a degree he didn't.

Could that be an accident? Might it just be incompetence? Maybe. But given that he also falsely claimed on his resume to be a chess master, I think the simple explanation is that he lied about both.

That he then quickly removed things when called out with neither explanation nor apology fits in with the "lies to make himself look good" narrative. A person who had made an innocent error generally feels bad about the error and says so.

Your thing about LinkedIn form design seems to be pure fiction. I just checked: you can enter any text you like, including no text at all. People without a degree don't have to put a degree in. I spent an entire 3 minutes looking at examples, and people fill in all sorts of things, including "PhD Candidate" and "PhD Student (incomplete)" to make it clear they are not claiming the degree.

This is not a personal attack; this is me pointing out facts of his behavior and reasonable inferences.
That's not true.

Not censorship per se, depending on how you understand censorship, but three letter agencies in the US often have an "advisorial" function in the production of many movies, particularly war movies. Most of the time you will even find them credited.

Their influence usually shows itself in how america/troops/wars are portrayed, such as negative language being replaced by neutral statements - but sometimes there are bigger changes.

You're right we can't see or predict everything. I just heard a story where a pilot had to drop a snake out of their small private aircraft while flying over a highway. There was a high likelihood that a driver below had no way of knowing a snake might fall out the sky and perhaps shatter their windshield. Most things that happen on the road though aren't that random.

I once had a bicyclist coming down a curvy mountain road. There was something about their riding that seemed uncomfortable, so I started slowing down. The biker then wiped out and crossed over the yellow line, stopping a few feet from my truck. If I hadn't been proactively scanning and thinking about everything that could go wrong they probably wouldn't have been able to get up, and say "thanks for not running me over."

I don't write this to judge you, or brag about myself. I've made plenty of mistakes myself. This is more a general lesson for people: synthesize all inputs received while driving and take proactive steps to mitigate potential risks.
Most middle- and upper-class Americans take a driver’s education course (like what you’ve described) prior to receiving their driver’s license. In 10 years it won’t even be necessary because nobody’s going to be driving themselves anyway.

It would take as long or much longer to become well versed in all the nitty-gritty details of TCP/IP, DNS, etc. than it would to gain a solid understanding of Ethereum.

I have to agree to this as I have written software to implement at least one networking protocol. On the contrary, I still haven't been able to wrap my head around Ethereum.

I'm sure most of us know that TCP/IP and all the other networking protocols are thin by design, for good reasons. Speed and reliability. It seems strange to write a connection-oriented protocol (TCP) that runs on a connection less protocol (IP) but this design is efficient and serves the purpose.

Calling the current bloating in blockchain protocols as a dramatic paradigm shift is an exaggeration. From what I see, the current blockchains protocols are bloated (as compared to TCP/IP) because they are encapsulating the application logic within themselves so as to achieve decentralization in a highly secure manner. (Based on my frugal understanding). It's a new way of doing things, perhaps not necessarily a paradigm shift.
Note to self - Understand blockchain in depth, may be it is a paradigm shift.

Oh, so "pattern recognition" means you will... look at things? Gosh, how impressive. I'm sure that will get you really far when dealing with career criminals, as they have never really tried deceiving anybody before.

More accurately, you will do your part to fight trafficking as long as it doesn't get too much in the way of making money for yourselves and your investors. That is, people looking to profit off prostitution.

For the record, I'm entirely in favor of legalization and regulation. Which is why I think an international criminal conspiracy with a high-tech gloss is an absolutely terrible idea.

You got it totally wrong, I think you need to understand me better. I'm like the internet special forces on the harsh battlefield of the hn forum -- I dodge incoming bullets of political correctness, I roll away from bombs of guidelines of politeness designed to silence discourse, I shoot my enemies with a rifle designed to make them look stupid, I effortlessly lob grenades made of nothing but words, I pick up random wounded allies and I inspire others to keep going. I run faster and faster until momentum gathers and based upon nothing but air I cause the laws of probability to crash and I do it for no benefit to myself -- ok maybe there is some benefit for me ;)

The cynic in me says that it's a liability thing.

Manufacturers are more likely to be liable if you roll your car and the roof caves in, killing you.

Manufacturers are less likely to be found liable if you couldn't see through your A-pillar and hit a cyclist, as apparently proven by the article.

It's very hard to point the finger at the driver for their roof caving in, there's nothing the driver can do to stop that from happening. But there's plenty a driver could do to avoid trouble from blindspots.
Thinking back to all of the times I've been hit or almost hit on a bicycle, visibility hasn't been a problem.

I think by far, the most common was the 'right hook', where the driver passes on the left, and makes a right turn in to a driveway.

After that were various intentional murder attempts, such as the taxi driver that honked at me, drove around me, and then tried to brake check me.

I agree what you're saying could be seen to fit inside some formal definition, although I'd see that as more a lacuna in a definition than proof.
