This isn't the guy looking for it, this is the guy running the emergency alert system. It's likely to be a contractor who gets meagre pay, limited benefits, and no job security as the contract probably turns over to a new vendor every 2 or 3 years.

The "training" they have is, if anything, an MS word document with a bunch of screenshots or a flash animation showing each of the functions that the contract required the developer to build in.

Now he blogs very infrequently, largely concentrating on his slightly-creepy obsession with IBM. The fact that he so easily gets duped by scammers pretending to be Google[1] and then actually blogs about it is quite indicative of how far his finger is from the pulse of technology.

So, no, you're not missing anything.

> OAuth 2.0 is so bloated that it scares people off

I think we're thinking the same thought, maybe my terminology is sloppy.

Suppose we just say "Use this token-generation endpoint (with your credentials) to generate a session token, and attach that token by means of OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token in subsequent requests to other endpoints".

Doing that, we can easily scythe off any bloat, no? We don't care about people signing-in with their Google accounts, or anything like that. Or is that what 'client credentials flow' means?

I do not have any specific recommendations, aside from this guide to start: https://blog.dominodatalab.com/creating-interactive-crime-ma...
From taking a quick look its a great project for trusted environments and smaller use cases. I'm unclear from the documentation how I would scale this for anything more than a single machine without heavy devops overhead and when anyone across the org. runs their own functions where isolation etc is pretty important.
Sure, the auth middlewares out there like Passport for js or Spring security on the java side do most of the work. You generally still have to code the very last bits of checking if the user/pass is good, generating the token, and checking if the token is good. There may be ones out there that do everything, but they are typically not quite as flexible as I'd like (lets store the token in Redis instead of an RDMS for example).
Difference is that a "basic job" costs up to $100k per head for the number of people who need money enough to be willing to dig a hole all day for it. Let's be generous and assume that's all 4.3% of the working age population registered as unemployed and actively looking for work in the UK, even though some of the might be more disinclined to register as looking for work if they were required to accept work digging holes. So taking your unusually high staff cost ratio of 5x salary, that's $100k per head for 4.3% of the working age population.

UBI might only cost $20k plus admin costs per recipient, but as you're paying it to well over 20x as many people it's well over 4x the cost. And you don't get the hole...

I'm not convinced Basic Job programmes are a fully scalable welfare replacement, or that agriculture or construction work would be a particularly good focus for a more limited workfare programme, or that advocates of such ideas have necessarily considered the risk of crowding out paid work at proper salaries, but the idea that indiscriminately doling out money to people irrespective of whether they've indicated they might want it is cheaper than welfare state alternatives is palpably false.

Review: Deciding Against the Paper Chase
It says radio tv and papers were it, then.

Having lived pre internet news days i am a minority that can truly describe how it was a different world back then. Our world is so much better because tv radio and newspapers matter so much less. We have to think for ourselves and decide which topics are newsworthy:not have others coax and decide what is important.

Long live the internet
Well, we could be living in a situation where pedestrians take precedence and have right of way over cars in city streets, and the opposite in highways, which I think would be much more desirable, especially in crowded cities. Perhaps even ban cars except for abutters, commercial vehicles and emergency vehicles from the densest city center areas. God that would be a relief.

edit: OK, yes, obviously you can and should distinguish between streets and roads, the former being smaller and mainly for residents and visitors of a subsector of the area (who can play hacky-sack on their residential street if they so well please, and you still have to wait for them), and the latter being mainly for car transportation in and out of the area itself. You can prioritize humans in one and cars in the other.
Black, blue, yellow, and white is usually a safe palette. Yellow-and-black diagonal striping is a fairly clear "exercise caution" indicator.
More importantly - what about the reverse case? Presumably someone issuing a real ballistic missile warning is doing so while terrified and in a hurry. The consequences of pressing the "This is a drill" button in that case are a lot worse than this.

If you are looking for something along the lines of OAuth2 - you should BTW! Highly recommended if your API is going to be consumed by first-party client apps on different platforms or third-party clients - one of the best setups I've come across is Laravel Passport[1].

If you don't mind running a PHP application, or it being built in Laravel, (I don't, but some do) it's actually a really good implementation of a solid OAuth package[2] (Disclaimer: I am a maintainer on oauth2-server).

You can set this up in a couple of days, and it'll be ready to roll for the majority of use-cases. With a few simple tweaks and additions, you can have it doing extra stuff pretty easily.

In one build I'm working on, this acts as just the authentication layer. The actual API that relies on the tokens this generates sits elsewhere and could be written in any other language (it's not in this case).

>It looks like quite a normal UI from an "internal" government or enterprise application point of view.

The "normal" for enterprise and especially government software is dogshit though.

I think an issue is that she obviously was listening very closely for a very long time. There are a lot of very detailed conversations with names and specifics that go back awhile.

Any unix system will have sh(1).

I Found a somewhat interesting solution for this issue. I assume you know what an ssh public/private key is, correct? Well, apparently, there is a way to apply this concept of ssh public key authentication to the HTTP protocol.

This technique is referred to as "Mutual Authentication": http://www.cafesoft.com/products/cams/ps/docs32/admin/SSLTLS...

Basically, it's 2-way SSL. You use signed SSL certs to authenticate the server to the client and the client to the server. You could use your own cert signing server or employ a third party cert signing service.

Using this method, your techs would need to set up the SSL cert for the client machine when installing the software, or, the SSL setup procedure could be part of the software installation procedure.

Interesting idea that may solve your problem. Hope this helps.
But boring problems -are- hard problems. I find very little is 'hard' in the sense of being difficult but ultimately overcomeable. Most things are either impossible (but can be fun to think about), or rather simple but requiring a lot of time (learning a new thing), or easy and quick (which we do and don't think about), or easy but long, and thus boring. And it's these latter that are, to me, 'hardest', because they're the ones I, and basically every one of my colleagues, least want to do. But as you say, they also can be some of the most valuable.

You mention machine learning and brilliant algorithms? Did you clean your data? Did you refine the parameters to the algorithm? Did you try different algorithms and compare? Machine learning is -boring-. Like, the things it enables are exciting, once it's working it's exciting, but the process is boring as hell. And I find that aspect every bit as 'hard' as understanding the underlying math.

Is Freemium Dead? Freemium vs. Free Trial
For those of you who don't believe a single thing we're being told about this situation -- including this screenshot -- just know that you're not alone.

You don't need to question the narrative publicly like some of us do, but it's always good to keep an open mind about everything we're told, and sadly, that means considering the possibility that there have been more lies than truths told since Saturday.

Hopefully someday we'll get the real story, but I have a very hard time believing that this is it.
A failure to correctly price the difference between cost and value, in other words.

I'd be very surprised if the ultimate cost of this mistake isn't far higher than the added cost of adding an "Are you really sure?" confirmation option.

This is why you don't let accountants make cost decisions in a vacuum. Of course if you're counting beans, the cheapest option is best.

In reality-based accounting, the hidden costs, consequential costs, potential damages, and costs of failure guarantee that cheapest is risky if you're lucky, and suicidally expensive if you're not.

The GAP are not designed to analyse those costs, so stupid decisions are made, avoidable consequences occur, and ultimately money is wasted, not saved.

We're seeing the same thing in the UK now where a huge government services contractor has gone bust.

In the UK it's policy to give government contracts to the lowest bidder. This makes perfect sense, if you're clueless and have no idea what you're doing.

In other countries it's policy to offer contracts to the second or third cheapest bidder, because this encourages bidders to to put in estimates that mean they're more likely to finish the job without cutting corners, more likely to include realistic margins to keep their business afloat, and more likely to estimate unexpected costs realistically.

The UK's policy has completely failed to save money. It's going to cost hundreds of millions of pounds in direct costs, and probably more than a billion in consequential losses around the rest of the economy, to deal with the fallout from a wholly avoidable corporate drama.
DeepTesla from MIT course corresponds to Udacity's Behavioral Cloning project from NVidia (Davenet-2) and MIT extends it by combining 3D convolutions with RNNs for better steering angle estimates; MIT's SegFuse corresponds to Semantic Segmentation with Berkeley's FCN at Udacity; Deep Reinforcement Learning for path planning and crash avoidance is unique at MIT, Udacity focuses on camera/LiDAR/radar as the main sensors whereas MIT mentions ultrasonic sensors for detecting condition of the road; MIT uniquely teaches how to sense state of driver from facial features detection; Udacity adds classical computer vision with HOG+SVM, tracking of objects with Extended/Unscented Kalman filters, driving using PID and MPC controllers, path planning using polynomial path approximations. They both mention some advanced object detection algorithms like R-CNN or SSD.

TL;DR: Once you finished Udacity, MIT gives you more wonderful topics you'd understand instantly (except for Deep Reinforcement Learning where you need to do some graduate-level coursework yourself).

I thought jaywalking is only a thing in the US? I'm not sure who's less informed, you or me, I have no idea about the prevalence of the idea in other countries.

It's not a crime to "jaywalk" in the UK, and I quote it as the concept simply doesn't exist here.

Also, in the UK, if you are crossing a side street and a car wants to turn into it, officially speaking, the pedestrian has the right of way[1].

[1]https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/using-the-road-...

Edit: Seems it's a real mix, some there are none, others have it, some have it but it's never enforced and some countries have laws that only apply within a certain distance of designated crossings:

It's already true in many places, in a lot of European cities you see a sign like this when entering:

https://lsmlomza.pl/pliki/2014/03/lsm-znak1.jpg

And it basically means that pedestrians have an absolute priority before cars, they can walk on the street as much as they like and you as a driver have to exhibit some extreme attention because if anything happens, it's 99% certain you will be found at fault.
The Switch is fairly new, it's also selling very very well at full price. So what's the incentive for a sale? Not to mention consoles, especially successful, popular ones, don't see much in the way of discounted price early on.

So I guess I'm not sure what the source of the confusion is. It's not like anything weird or unusual is going on compared to the rest of Nintendo's 35 years in the console market, or compared with the console market in general.
That's what I read as well. Basically we need price transparency, insurances paying the same as the non-insured, and lower awards in law suits against hospitals/doctors and America would have one of the cheapest healthcare systems in the world in no time.
