> In my career I’ve met quite a few network engineers who don’t think sufficiently outside the box. They typically say “this is how it’s done, this is how it works.”

Completely agree, it is my experience as well. I believe this is because, at last historically, very few network engineers are interested in software.

This is slowly changing, but it will take "a generation".

No it's because no jurisdiction requires tax to be paid in bitcoin therefore it lacks the fundamental that drives the need for fiat currency that gives value.
A trademark is more precarious than a patent. If you don't defend the trademark in a timely manner, the infringer can make a laches defense. Unchecked infringement - however minor - can also cumulatively damage the distinctiveness of the trademark, making it more difficult to defend against future infringement.
It's not a currency. It's not issued by the state.
The analogies with the visa/passport are good, except the one about Meltdown:

Because she doesn't have a North Korean visa, she (somehow) checks the expiry date on someone else's North Korean visa, and then (if it is about to expire) runs out to renew it

Maybe try this version: she calls the embassy to ask if she needs to renew her visa (which she doesn't have). The clerk, who has access to all the visas ever issued, tells her that no one has a visa that expires in the next few months, so she is good. This way, you find out about other people's expiration dates.
The past couple of years that I've been using NVIDIA with Ubuntu the process was pretty much straightforward.

You can get Tensorflow and most Miners to work with just a ppa addition and apt installation.

Not sure how games and other 3D enabled apps behave though.

Had a very similar experience - a friend of our family (also a member of a, let's call it, high-intensity christian denomination) got started in a MLM (MonaVie) and invited me to their "internal" event (one aimed at people already in the network).

Oh. My. God. What I saw there was a textbook definition of a cult, a pure affective death spiral[0] instantiated in our material world. People were literally one-upping one another in telling how happy they are by being the part of this MLM, and how happy they will be when it makes them rich. The overall atmosphere was pretty similar to that Bitconeeeeeeeeeect video.

> The first thing I got told is that I must believe in the product.

Yeah, that's the thing that kept me from getting recruited into MLMs back when I was more naïve about people involved - I could tell the products were bullshit, and selling them required you to lie about either the qualities of the product or your expertise on the topic (in case of financial products). Both of which I find to be despicable behaviour.

"An affective death spiral (or happy death spiral) occurs when positive attributes of a theory, person, or organization combine with the Halo effect in a feedback loop, resulting in the subject of the affective death spiral being held in higher and higher regard. In effect, every positive thing said about the subject results in more than one additional nice thing to say about the subject on average. This cascades like a nuclear chain reaction."
Most Google services are either borderline or completely unusable through Tor anyway.
Sure, because video advertisers are completely lacking a distribution channel that provides known content and editorial moderation with some basic viewership and viewer demographic numbers... Advertisers do not need YouTube, there are a ton of alternatives available to them ranging from streaming services to conventional broadcast television. YouTube, on the other hand, has big bills to pay and without that sweet, sweet advertising money pumping through Google datacenters the YouTube "platform" will be the one that disappears.
Hi Nik, great idea!
Will be good to see it in action before asking to register, too little info yet to overcome the friction to register.
Bitfinex is a company that produces a cryptocurrency called Tether. Tether is in terms of the tech just like any other cryptocurrency; the big difference is that Bitfinex has pegged its value to the US dollar.

This is great in theory, because transactions between two types of cryptocurrencies are (relatively) easy and cheap, and with one coin pegged to a real currency, it means the crypto ecosystem is much more liquid.

Now, the downside: you may have heard of the macroeconomic "Impossible Trinity"[1]. One outcome of that is that it means Bitfinex has to keep US dollars on hand equal to the total value of Tethers created.

Now, the real downside: over the past couple of months (and even more over the past week), Bitfinex has issued a quantity of Tethers that most people don't actually believed are backed by US dollars, meaning they are vulnerable to a "It's a Wonderful Life"-style run. And worse yet, the liquidity Bitfinex provides has been "baked in" to the price of other cryptocurrencies for a while.

At any rate, the accusation the Tweet is making is that Bitfinex is now significantly overextended, and can no longer promise to convert all the issued Tethers, meaning the Tethers (and thus all the other cryptocurrencies) are not nearly as liquid as "investors" thought they were. As many predicted[2].

Most irritatingly, this exact thing happened over, and over, and over again when countries were on the gold standard. It's why fiat currency is such a good idea.

My dad knew someone who had a reinforcing steel bar stuck into the middle of his head; The bar entered is mouth and exited in the middle of the top of his skill. After that, the guy was noticeably smarter but also more irascible. My dad theory was that the healing of the brain raised the number of synapses and ridges[1] in the damaged part of the brain (which in this case was right between the two cerebral hemispheres). Albert Einstein's brain had four ridges instead of three.

Seems like an anti-MSFT pedantic rant. I noticed Macs being unrealistically used everywhere on television, even on “2 broke girls” and Shameless - Apple pretty much paid Everyone to do the pretty same thing as MSFT and it paid off.

It’s less CYA than a reminder that one should seek legal advice if the subject matter is personally relevant. I would hate for someone, who watched a YouTube video and then lost more than they could afford to BitConnect, to mis-step because they mistook my Internet comments for authoritative advice versus banter and commentary.
The equilibrium price ultimately boils down to energy. How much gasoline can you buy with $1? How much BitCoin can you mine using $1 worth of energy? These will eventually even out.

I was listening to a radio programme yesterday where they discussed the dominance of young white males in shaping tech and how that can exclude other demographics without them even being aware of it. That bubble mentality is exactly the issue. They often don't have the perspective and experience to realise that what seems completely tacit to them just does not apply universally. And they don't know that they don't know.
Macbooks are everywhere on TV, and they used to be before they were popular, too. I think both the Macbook and Surface just look nice. They don't want an ugly Thinkpad except when they try to go for the hacker type.
Most webdevs that I know do. JS stack for sure appears to favor it.
It's like all the Goldbugs forget that this is what happened, over and over and over again, when countries were on the gold standard: entities would make allegedly convertible instruments that everybody knew weren't really convertible, but everybody acted like they were, until a run finally forced a suspension of convertibility.

> As we cast about trying to figure out ways to make software more secure or reliable, please remember that in other engineering fields (civil, chemical, mechanical, etc.) prioritizing safety and reliability is a _solved problem_.

The article makes an unfair comparison; if the solution to the problem is like the one below (extract from the article), the change, reasonably, will never happen in commercial programs (the ones "with 5000 errors").

> Take the upgrade of the software to permit the shuttle to navigate with Global Positioning Satellites, a change that involves just 1.5% of the program, or 6,366 lines of code. The specs for that one change run 2,500 pages, a volume thicker than a phone book. The specs for the current program fill 30 volumes and run 40,000 pages.

And you need these patches to fix what is IMO qmail's worst problem: backscatter. As far as I remember, when receiving an email with a forged return address to a non-existent mailbox, qmail first accepts the email, then sends a bounce message to the forged return address. Other MTAs (and patched qmail) reject the email directly in the SMTP session, preventing this issue.

I personally consider this backscatter issue a design bug in qmail.
Same goes for Python and JavaScript in my experience.

A lot of people see Mac as "close enough" for any Linux based development, and will build on a Mac and deploy to a Linux based server.

In terms of Lenovo, they were usually pretty popular, although I lumped these in with the "cheap devices" as I would often see far more Ideapads than Thinkpads, because they were cheaper for the employer.
I agree, but I didn't say that good software doesn't please its users. I said you generally shouldn't optimize for power users and that software should be usable.

I don't know, have the OPs kids already seen a drop in viewers? Is this just a premature panic at an email received this morning?

IMHO there are a lot of people on YouTube who repost existing content simply to get viewers while adding no value. This detracts from the actual content creators, some of which are the little guy.

I was going to post a favorite of mine as an example. Search "Tina S" on YouTube. A few months ago you'd get several top results that were people posting their own copies of her videos, like they discovered her and needed to report their findings to the world. In some cases that tended to overshadow her own YouTube channel/page/whatever. But on confirming that problem, this morning I see it's solved and most of the top results go directly to her videos. The parasites have dropped in rank.
That’s a great anecdote. I’d also suggest that there are a bunch of people who could spend exactly the same period behind the wheel as you and not develop those skills though. Some people plateau and something about their makeup stops them from developing those higher ‘intuitive’ skills
They're just missing one majorly obvious thing here. If it were not for the initial ad earnings, a lot of these "big" content creators would have never become big. I'd certainly remove my videos from YouTube (since my lifetime earning is just $36, they'll not give that to me anyway :) ).

Edit: Made all of my videos private.
In USA and UK at least unauthorised access or use of a computer is criminalised. On some situations you can argue for assumed consent, the law doesn't operate on "if I can do it then it's authorised". Unless you can show you have permission then it's not authorised, ergo not legal.

AIUI; not legal advice.

It's unfit for general use and abuses the DNS protocol to stealthily convey data, hence the shadiness. You're right, it needn't be used in a negative way. DNS tunneling is slow, needs polling for incoming traffic (due to the way dns works over udp) and is usually used to circumvent firewalls for both good (censorship) and bad reasons (exfiltrating data).
In the company i worked for, they had their own CI/CD system which tracked information about each service and the systems onto which it has to deploy. Once it was all configured, it was basically button pushes. Also the system tracked feedback after deployment to confirm if the build went good or needed to be fixed - if certain parameters were unwell, basically it did a role back ! Also there were canary deployments to make sure code was deployed only to portion of systems to make sure it indeed pushed correctly and worked. If not, they are rolled back !

Fedora. During the first year I built my own kernel that was Fedora's with some patches applied (I published it in a COPR for others to use as well) - it was needed even just to get a working keyboard and trackpad at the time.

Around maybe the start of 2017 this became fortunately unnecessary, with the stock F26+ distro kernels driving everything but the touchscreen these days. So up to that point it's install and forget.

Currently I build jakeday's kernel source tree (which he builds binaries from for Ubuntu) on Fedora to have the touchscreen working as well, as Intel never mainlined the driver for it. If you're running Ubuntu, just throwing jakeday's kernel PPA in there should do the trick.

r/surfacelinux is probably the best community resource for this enterprise.
Does anyone really believe it is a reliable store of value? Surely the violent price swings and numerous scandals related to dodgy exchanges are hard to not notice. I assume they either perceive the risk as the cost of taking money out of the country or ignore it out of pure greed. Madoff disguised himself as a wise asset manager. I don't think bitcoin is disguising itself into anything else than a speculative product.
This is patent nonsense. In 1911 the US government started extensive trials of using planes for air mail delivery which were an obvious success by the following year.

The benefits of manned flight to the military, and having a spotter above the battlefield, let alone flying weapons, were massive and immediately apparent to a child.

None of this really changes the point that ten years into cryptocurrency the only genuine killer use cases are contraband and speculation.

When shall I say. Edge was legacy. Edge was curve. Edge was not straight. Edge was culture betrayed.

Fuck Mozilla.

Level three definitely exists, and it's useful to be able to talk about levels of correctness. That doesn't mean it's always required to be level 3 correct. That entirely depends on your risk profile. If you're doing a one-off server side maintenance tool, it may be fine. If you're doing flight control software for an airplane, it's not.

64 GPU's and 91 hours for a 12 second simulation. 64,000 CPU's for 910 hours (1 month) is 4 orders of magnitude.

Unfortunately, a useful cell simulation would be far more complex than simple particle collisions and a much shorter step size. But, that's not to say different kinds of simulations can't be useful. And ASIC's or general improvement in computing power can also boost things.
