I fully agree with your comment about whale tasting like crying, I have a profound regret over eating it....but...not sure why...as I eat pretty much ever other animal.

The lobster in iceland was amazing though.

We did a summer week long roundtrip around it, it was amazing and would love to go back.
I can't wait for the jokes regarding this at all of the security conferences.
That reply doesn’t suit your handle at all ;)
Oddly in my area I went to the store for my wife to test out the sizes two days after the launch and the sales people were trying to push us toward the X vs the 8+ we both decided on. When I asked they said they had a ton of stock still. The mall we were at is in a pretty affluent area, so I was a bit surprised.
One big problem was the epic power consumption of the Itanic CPUs.

I remember going to a corporate presentation by Intel about the revolutionary CPU architecture. They had to turn the machine off because the cooling fan was making so much noise we couldn't hear the speaker.

And this at precisely the wrong moment in history, as mobile devices, with their stringent power consumption constraints, were becoming popular.

In my memory the sound of an arcade is Tempest. If I think about it for a moment, other sounds come into focus, but Tempest is the first and primary sound I can identify.

Tempest epitomizes early arcade games, to me. It was subject to all the same technical limits of games of the era, but it seemed to be apart from them; there's nothing you'd need to add to make it better. The sound and the look of it, from the intro screen on, is just really iconic.
Gopro would’ve been a beautiful lifestyle business had they stayed private and only did cameras. The weight of scaling post-ICO sank them.
Tough call there. The antibiotics were likely for Group B Streptococcus, meaning during prenatal screening she tested positive. I work in the field and we see some terrible outcomes from GBS (and other bacterial) infections such as blood stream infections, neonatal infections to hysterectomies and death. I've seen cases where moms have symptoms at home but they simply chalk them up to "what happens after giving birth". So whatever choice you make, tell your wife to listen to her body.
I'm sure testers can set whatever battery level is desired.
This also conveniently allows you to store the length at the "real" base.

0 array length <--- base pointer
1 element 1 <--- array[1] == *(base + 1)
2 element 2 <--- array[2] == *(base + 2)
It amazes me how entitled people can be. We are living well right now for sure, but if/when things change, we will need to adapt just like the truck drivers will have to after Tesla's self-driving semis put them all out of work (something this community will be paid a fortune to bring about, btw).

And will the teamsters union be able to save all those truck driving jobs? I doubt it, unless they do it through politics...
List of startup tools, avoid reinventing the wheel
Doesn't seem like a very good comparison considering it's "free" in most other countries.
Whew. Thanks!
Do you mean post IPO? Internet funbux should have nothing to do with GoPro - they sell a real product that actually has value.
And this is why I like it so much. It feels much more efficient than the 7 Plus. The 7 Plus feels like a mini tablet in comparison. I had been waiting for a 256GB normal size phone for a while.
I do, primarily in the things I am able to do with the programs that I have written. Also occasionally by refactoring old code or by finding and fixing bugs.
This only reveals further the complete joke that is the TSA. Protecting us from small-time importers of counterfeit goods? Oh my!
Ah yes, the shenanigans that occur in a real scrum are no joke. Some of our forwards would wrap tape around their entire head (including ears) to prevent their ears from being torn off.
Hollywood has perpetuated the stereotype of screaming mothers. I work in a hospital and visit the labour and delivery ward quite frequently. Have never heard screaming.
To follow up on this, I recently implemented a packed vector format. As a LE advocate I surprised myself by ordering the packing in BE order — because that let me simply byte-compare vector encodings to compare the underlying vectors, which was a huge performance increase.

Data structures which are frequently compared, e.g. to be sorted, benefit from BE ordering. Just binary compare them as byte strings, usually an efficient inline operation.

If I were implementing a packed wire format for SQL data, for example, I’d probably do it in BE order.
A lot of our news reports are quick summaries written up in a few minutes by a busy person who quickly gathered whatever info was at hand and not so much of the long, in-depth investigations of the past.

So... likely quite a lot. I trust verifiable sources a lot more than I trust any outlet, even the supposedly reputable ones. I mean, just how long did it take for Jayson Blair to get caught fabricating stories in the NYT? [1]

Honest question, do you think a 2x factor of error is all that significant? Maybe it's just my EE background (where everything is measured in logs) but anything within an order of magnitude seems accurate enough for me.
Healthcare here is a joke. No clear pricing, no clarity on what is or isn't actually covered, mega bills that get delivered a year late then you then have to argue over.

The only way to not go bankrupt is to not get sick, ever.
I've been using my MoviePass, at least once or twice a month. My wife had also ordered one but she hadn't been able to activate it and they had billed her for the first month.
Have you ever worked in an organization where you were strongly discouraged from refactoring, or otherwise touching, the code without a change request? And if the answer is yes how did you deal with that?
>Does any of this have any value?

What's 'this'? The programming you've done?

Q. What programming have you done? What have you spent 20 years doing?

or you mean, all the programming all programmers have done?
I appreciate the effort in writing this readable paper, but I do find the analogies in the first few sections to be quite strained.

Here's an example:

> Alice decides it is time to blockchain her supply chain. She rents some cloud storage to hold the ledger, and installs internet-enabled temperature sensors in each frozen yogurt container. She is concerned that sensors are not always reliable (and that Bob may have tampered with some), so she wires the sensors to conduct a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus protocol, which uses several rounds of voting to ensure that temperature readings cannot be distorted by a small number of of faulty or corrupted sensors.

Now, since all frozen yogurt containers pass from Carol to Bob to Alice, doesn't Bob at some point in time have access to all the frozen yogurt containers and their temperature sensors? Then Bob can easily corrupt all of them, rendering this scheme useless. He can, for example, replace all of the sensors by malicious sensors that report wrong temperatures when they are in Bob's truck.

Is there something I'm missing?
I feel that Schwab can be trusted.
I agree that our healthcare system is messed up but the insurance company paid for 95% of her bill. Seems like she got her money's worth from the insurance company.
Yes, I agree.

Another great avenue for them would have been activity trackers (like fitbit), cyclometers, and/or gps gear for hiking/marine/air (like garmin).

They've really left a lot unexplored. Instead of more cameras, other gear, etc... they tried one version of a drone they had to recall for power issues, then almost immediately discontinued it. That's a pretty low-key effort for a multi-billion dollar 16 year old company
I was also active duty military when my wife had our first child so I know what you mean. It's been pricey having the other kids but at least I've had decent insurance to do it. My heart goes out to those with no insurance or crappy insurance.

Regarding universal healthcare, we have a unique viewpoint because we've actually lived universal healthcare in the military.

Long wait times for appointments, crappy doctors that you have no choice but to go see (or have fun paying out of pocket at a civilian doctor), an employer with 100% insight into your medical situation, the loving kindness of a DMV clerk surrounding you while going through the wonder of childbirth for the first time... Ah, those days don't come back.

What are your thoughts on universal (or single-payer) healthcare?
What is this "mandatory feature" stuff? We're talking [0] about employees on websites "protected" by TLS, and expecting privacy while doing so. If they order hemorrhoid cream on Amazon, their browser talks to the shitbox, the shitbox talks to Amazon, and client certs have nothing to do with that. The browser verifies that it trusts the shitbox, and nobody else verifies anything.

One supposes there might be some banks or B2B sites that might use client certs, but they're such a minority that no one ever heard of them.

I wish we knew how to imbue robots with chemical actuation mechanisms that actually worked (as opposed to some proof of concept demo of a simple electrolysis reaction in a bulky 3D printed silicone balloon).

If real muscle cells / limbs serve as a sort of reference, they would be vastly more space-efficient, compliant, and have higher power-weight ratio than any electromagnetically actuated servo we have today.

It makes me wonder if the "modern" androids in Westworld used electricity at all.
Fantastic, I'm using this in my next presentation to management.
> I've actually had hákarl and whale in Iceland. They are both horrible.

So have I, and I disagree completely. I wasn't a real fan of hákarl, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it's hilariously[0] reputed to be. It was mostly inoffensive, honestly.

As for whale? It's the most delicious, most filling meat I've ever had. It was full of flavour. It's nothing like tuna — more like beef, only ever so much more so. I really wish that I could get it at the supermarket here at home.

That’s why I said “normally stocked products.” Seasonally available products are fine. The problem is products which are supposed to be available but can’t be purchased when I’m there because the store is cutting their JIT delivery too close.
From a purely technical perspective I agree. There's no reason this has to be behind HTTPS.

I don't think this was done for technical reasons though. Rather, it's an attempt to drive further adoption of HTTPS with the ultimate goal of phasing plain HTTP out of mainstream use entirely.

For websites on LAN you can either install your own root cert on client devices, or assign the site a public domain name (even if the site itself isn't accessible from the public internet) and get a publicly-trusted cert that way.
Clearly this needs to be tiered,

90%+ battery: losers, cowards, amateurs

50-90% battery: casual, basic

10-50% battery: mlg, nerds

5-10% battery: outcasts, dangerous

5%- battery: heretics, supplicants
That promotional video is fantastic. Beautiful scenery, photogenic people, shots of pristine nature, even the family visiting a theme park inspires a primal kind of longing and deep pride in how awesome it is to be an incarnated human.

The score--Odesza's "A Moment Apart" from the album of the same name--contributes to the emotion in no small way.

Given the discontinuation of the developer program is in line with the gradual decline of the GoPro brand, the video is at once sublime and forlorn and I can't help but feel GoPro's fate is to be lamented.

One can almost read in the GoPro's plight the unavoidable fate of humankind and the planet on which we live.

OK, I know all of that is a bit overwrought, and this is my first exposure to Odesza. But I was so affected that I decided to buy the album and, I know, I'm going to put it on repeat for the next month or so.

Thanks for the link.
Agreed - the original question is probably best answered via research into immutable operating system deployment patterns.

Having said that, when bootrino starts a Run-From-RAM Linux instance, it really is just plain Linux, so how you go about solving the question of deployment is really entirely up to you.
I used to work with Dave Sherman, who was the hardware lead on Missile Command to Dave Theurer's software lead. He joined Atari right out of Berkeley during Atari's heyday, and he had a lot of stories about the out of control corporate culture.

I'm sure this happened after Atari was bought, but Dave said the purchasing agents were driving around expensive cars, cars that he as an engineer couldn't afford, the implication that there were obvious kickbacks going on. Programmers were sometimes given coke by their supervisor during crunch time to increase work. Some of the technical talent hired agents to negotiate with Atari -- the thinking being they are in the entertainment business, just like Hollywood.
>With all of the above, you are far less likely to be subjected to time pressures that will lead to drugs and ultimately to major surgery.

See here's the problem with the American system. You feel like the 'better choice' is a private birthing centre rather than a hospital because of the issues you outlined. The better option is single payer health. In Canada, where I live, there's no pressures to get it over with. If you have a 3 day labour, you have a 3 day labour. If you need an extra day stay, you stay an extra day. Not once does someone bring up cost... not the doctors, not the patient, not the family, nobody. We have birthing centres for those who want them. You can deliver at home with a midwife if you want. When I had my two kids, my cost was $14.95 for parking and ~$20 for my lunch/dinner.
I am a Teamster and I have worked in union labor jobs, non union labor jobs, and professional jobs.

One of the big misconceptions is that unions are just for workers. In my experience unions benefit the employers just as much as the workers by providing a formal process for raising and resolving grievances. This helps corporations by keeping things smooth and puts a check on low level management that benefits the organization over all.

Unions also bring a lot of BS. They are another hierarchy with their own bosses, and rules, etc. But you will not find any more generous group of people then in a union. When there is a collection for someone who has a sick kid or some other tragic life event the amount of money that gets collected in a single meeting is surprising. I have never seen that kind of generosity in any professional setting.

I have also seen unions vote repeatedly to take cuts in their own pay to help out their fellow members on the pension issue, even knowing that those people f--ked themselves up with their own stupid decisions, but the point of a union is that you take care of your own, and members are willing to take a very real and significant personal hit to do that.

One of the best things about unions is fixed contracts and pay scales. Haggling over money used to be considered disgraceful and beneath the dignity of respectable people. Unions are old school so they still stick to that code and younger people would do well to learn from them on that.

I don't really think that software engineers could benefit much from unionization. Seizing the means of production doesn't have much meaning when you are the means of production. People who already have all the power don't need a union. But understanding how unions work and the benefits that they provide for organizing labor, corporations, and society is definitely a good thing.
Fortunately as we saw from the OpenSSL debacle a while back, often deep corporate pockets (like Google) will step up and audit/patch these projects. Being open is obviously a pre-requisite for that to happen.
> big network to bypass the bullshit

That’s about the sum of it, yeah. At least for myself, every job I’ve had in the past 6 years has been through my network, and the interviews have been short and sweet formalities.
And yet the MSM and politicians repeatedly suggest using the TSA's no-fly list to deny people their 2nd amendment right to weaponry.
I am sorry that you are sick of the HTTPS everywhere movement.

But forcing your sites to use HTTPS will also prevent your users from unwittingly participating in DDOS attacks on other sites (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Cannon). Consider it herd immunity.

Also, to respond to some of your other anti-HTTPS comments:

regarding overhead: people are also working hard to minimize the amount of overhead inherent to TLS. For instance, TLS 1.3 will establish an encrypted connection in a single roundtrip, and is capable of resuming encrypted connections in zero roundtrips with application opt-in (see https://blog.cloudflare.com/tls-1-3-overview-and-q-and-a/). The encryption itself has fairly ubiquitous support in hardware, making most of them ridiculously fast.

regarding CAs: with HTTP you are implicitly relying on the honesty of people in the network path. With HTTPS you are implicitly relying on the honesty of the intersection of a) people in the network path, b) people who control a CA. This is strictly fewer people than with HTTP. People are also working hard to solidify our faith in the set (b), by requiring Certificate Transparency for all new certificates, thereby ensuring that misbehaving CAs can be detected, and drastically raising the cost of mounting a CA-based attack.

You say "What if I for what ever reason don't want to use HTTPs", I you'll have to layout some of those reasons explicitly. You'll probably find that people are working on all of them.

In general, the default expectation on the web should be encrypted and authenticated (i.e. only both endpoints can read/write the data). Once we live in that future, asking for the ability to allow plaintext network traffic will seem a lot like asking modern programming languages to explicitly allow buffer overflows. The language designer would be justified in saying "No", and ignoring you. The considerate language designer might ask "why would you want that", and try to address your real need. But they would still never actually give you what you ask for. This may be "taking away choice" in the same sense that mandating airbags is "taking away choice", but people shrug and accept it because the baseline has moved.
All of the censors vote on if they have been tampered with. They will leave a record of their votes on the blockchain as Bob tampers with them in real time.
I think this is the first time I've heard advocated that a government should be in the business of chip design. We're a long way from the days of John Locke and enlightenment liberalism.

>GoPro could easily stand for pro-level/quality outdoor gear.

The same could be said for pro-level/quality outdoor gear. Why aren’t Patagonia, Orvis, and Salomon making a run at the camera industry? Is that their failure?
That is kind of my point. I believe over time, the monitoring gets solid enough that you can do abrelease anytime. I heard often teams not wanting to do a release, but i try to go towards "i can measure a good amount of metrics and slices that are important and can measure their impact in a controlled manner" which helps for friday releases, or any other release for that matter.

I dont do friday releases often, but if it comes to it, it is no brainer. I approach it pragmatically, and this helps people.

I haven't been to Iceland, but I've tried imported-from-Iceland whale several times in Japan. Each time was delicious.

It had the taste of extremely pungent tuna with some beefiness mixed in, and a texture like very tender beef. The taste was good, but strong to the point that it needs sauce in order to balance it out. Plain whale is like eating 10x concentrated fishy beef, but with a little soy sauce, it's delicious.

Reading comments here, it seems people have vastly different experiences with it. Some people don't seem to get the fishy taste at all, but for me, it's really stood out each time.
I think I was looking at SJCAM and also Wimius, which Amazon has a full camera, case, batteries, and accessory kit for $70 right now. I mean at that price point your biggest investment is going to be in class U3 micro SD cards.

I think you give firmware engineers too little credit.

All very good points. I actually thought about your #2 and #4 after I posted. But, at that point I was already in route to the airport. Also, to be honest, I really wasn’t sure how to analyze it any further - pointing to my lack of knowledge. It seemed like a bit of rabbit hole and beyond me.
Distribution of knowledge is not equal to distribution of lies and propaganda. I think that fear of missing "important" information from media is highly overrated. Besides, it's very hard to avoid this unless you live in the woods.

I don't read news and don't watch TV for at least 3-4 years and I became much happier person because of this decision.

How about all those heavy haulers who pay for your usage of the roads?

Most countries have 'socialised roads' and 'socialised healthcare, but the US sees 'socialised roads' as something good but 'socialised healthcare' as something bad. Whereas most other countries, even the so-called 'poor' countries can afford their single-payer 'socialised healhcare', the US finds that too difficult.
