Use Disposable Whonix VMs in Qubes OS (available in the 4.0-rc4) for the best secure experience that you can get right now. For less security, an alternative would be to use Tails or Subgraph.

You can also control how much attack surface you expose in your browser in the Security Settings in the Tor Button (Medium (now termed Safe) disables JS on HTTP websites, JIT optimization, and sets media files to click-to-play. High (now termed Safest) disables JS everywhere, and SVG...).[1]

I can afford to lose the data. I'm doing RAID0.

The article was interesting for presenting simple tweaks and a nice table of the results.
I strongly disagree. And given that I'm working for a company who's entire purpose is to make money, I fail to see why I should not do the same. Nothing good comes from me forgoing making all that I can make.
This kind of complaint is quite tiresome. Please don't.

Seriously, I tire of this notion that discussion must be dry and boring. Holding discussion hostage to "don't say anything that might offend, police your tone, and say everything as plainly and factually as possible"-type rules allows intellectually dishonest participants to game the system, i.e. bullshit asymmetry. Clever use of rhetoric is an effective tool for highlighting disingenuous arguments. In this age of information overload, we need it.
Often, it's the situation that architects your decisions. If you can delay debts and dependencies, you can afford to do more. Live within your means. Downsize your needs. Practice frugality.
>>Ada instead; something high-level enough to have concurrency primitives yet low-level enough to force you to consider the expected ranges of your integers

In practice Ada programmers, because they actually have a proper method of expressing integer ranges, are going to be much more considerate of such things.
The problem is you can't learn all of C++. I've been coding in it for the better part of a decade and I still run into weird corners that don't make sense regularly.

C is much more compact.
Your argument is compelling and crystallized similar thoughts I’ve had. If I ran a CS department I’d follow your recommendations. Practically speaking though another argument against Ada or whatever is drastically reduced reading options.
Well, that's a better answer than I was responding to. I think I disagree a bit on your response to #2, though. Sure, other languages have also contributed mightily to the design of later languages. Some of them might have contributed more than C. OTOH, they haven't contributed nearly as much to the design of libraries and runtimes that are also important for a working engineer to understand. Programs written in any language are loaded into memory in a manner designed to accommodate C. The primary interface between userspace code written in any language and the kernel is via direct syscalls or libc, which were likewise designed with C's needs in mind. When those APIs do change, it's the C definitions that change and other languages are left on their own to parse the new definitions. So it's true that other languages have been just as influential from a computer scientist's perspective, but from a working engineer's perspective no other language comes close.
I find a lot of naysayers miss the point of Uber: the experience really is better.
UberX’s discount isn’t why I use it. It’s because the app is without peer. I can choose the car with the features I want. I have a company watching me and my driver to ensure that the experience is good for both of us, unlike taxis which have abysmal customer service and consumer (or driver!) protection in most cities.

I’d happily pay more for it (and usually go for select or black when I can). I tip where I can. I don’t like Uber’s bro culture and wish Lyft would get better and broader coverage. But Uber is on to something big.

UberEATS I can take or leave as others have comparable experiences (Skip the Dishes, DoorDash, etc).
The WSJ is just another Fox outlet.
I don't see Go as any sort of replacement for C. The fact that it's garbage-collected means that it's really not suitable for use in embedded or kernel programming.

AFAICT, Rust was created to be a safer C, and Go was created to be a faster Python; completely separate domains.
Poe's Law, in effect.
Misconceptions
heh, when? by the time you will be able to get one they will have a new one out you can't get either. I thought I would be able to get two of the AMD vega 64 shortly after COMPDEX. Then I saw the prices. WHOOF. Availablity sucks, price sucks, and frankly I am still waiting.
Although printing prices do vary quite a bit from one paper stock to another, these prices seem fairly reasonable to me.

What would you say is a fair price point?
And if it's truly better, the rest of them will pick it up eventually.
As time goes on, the CTO becomes a pretty flexible position, somewhat analogous to that of a COO. This article was useful for me to figure out the kind of options I had as a CTO, in terms of specializing, as the company got progressively bigger: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/five-flavors-being-cto-matt-t...

Early on, like OP discovered, you pretty much have to do it all, but you slowly remove yourself away from a lot of those tasks as you find better people to replace you in those areas.
When is the software not broken? The software is always broken while we're working on it, or we'd have shipped it already, and moved on to the next thing we need to break so we can improve on it - that's the nature of the job.
Curious to hear if they were running SQL queries using some sort of ORM layer, or if they had people who were knowledgeable with SQL itself writing queries or creating Views to extract the data they needed, as well as tune the database and ensure proper INDEXES were in place.

In my past experience, the two methods above can produce wildly different impacts on database performance.
The Morality of John Rabe
glad to read your conclusion! I live in Montreal and I do think it has a surprisingly low CoL combined with a high-quality lifestyle. Glad to see it is confirmed by your data.

I personally live in a 3 bedroom apt I rent for $635 a month ($795 if taking into account the electricity used for heating) and the apt is located 25 min by public transportation (foot + metro) away from downtown.
Learn ARM or some other RISC architecture and not x86/amd64 if you want to learn assembly. x86 and its forever backwards compatable Segmented Memory/CISC architecture makes asm programming painful (not to mention I have learned at least three different syntaxes for x86 asm : (1) MASM/BASM/TASM/NASM, (2) GNU AS (gas), (3) Amsterdam Compiler Kit -- the last two are meant for compiler backends and not human programmers).

I actually cut my teeth on TI's TMS34010 asm. Simple RISC (lot's of registers), flat address space, and bit addressable. I loved it.

Because they're still not production ready. The code for v3 onion services still needs to mature, and when it does, it will become the default.

Math, probably.
I've made this argument several times. I'm a psybouncer sort of guy. #shellz

It is super easy to get a 2 dollar a month shell account and run psybouncer with a list of hosts you can hide behind. At least then I can double proxy cheaper.
I've been on HN for almost 10 years. You aren't going to get a cut and dry answer from most pros because most pros aren't going to post things in public forums. Pluggable transports have nothing to do with it. I've actually helped defenders against Tor based attackers. I've de-anon'd them. It was easy as fucking shit because most attackers are dumb and the Tor browser isn't 0day proof or as network isolated as people think it is.

Who is your adversary and what are the costs you are willing to bear to hide from them?

There are very few answers to that question that come out with: "Use Tor"

For the 99.9% of adversaries having a wipeable iPad will stop browser fingerprinting and switching up IPs or cafes will stop IP tracking. It wont stop network attacks, but you'll be pretty safe from 0days. For most journalists (or even drug dealers) it's the right approach.

The rest just gets you more heat than its worth.
UberEats works very well. It's a simple UI and has many restaurants. The food comes quickly and you can see the location of the drive. When I've had issues, the customer support has been good.

I haven't used GrubHub myself, but my experience with DoorDash has been considerably rockier than with UberEats. They get the order wrong often or fail to show up and you can't always order from the restaurant for immediate delivery.
Didn't Steve Jobs say something about B players should only be hiring A players? Cause we all know if you start hiring C players they will just start hiring D players and so forth. The Bozo Explosion he called it.
I started getting them for a while a few month ago. It made browsing certain sites on my phone almost impossible, I'd get a rogue redirect literally every time I tried to access the page.
VPN providers have just as much insight about your traffic as your ISP... it's just a matter of time before they monetize it... and they both know who you are (unless you are very very very careful, which is almost impossible).
If a business can't make a profit in a socially conscious way, does the society benefit from its existences? If the only way you can make a social network is by selling members' lives to the highest bidder, maybe it's a product we should give a miss.
Just a quick disclaimer: you may be seeing different prices than Adamantcheese, I've been experimenting with them a bit to see if I can increase conversion rate.
There is less of a chance that the Colo or shell account you are using to run psybouncer will hand over anything to anyone before you wipe the machine than there would be directly connecting to a VPN service. I think this is addressed to average Joe Americana who clicks the protect button in Facebook.
Sublime because it's fast, does what I want, and I've been using it since 2012... lot of muscle memory and am too just used to it. I do have Vim keybindings on but I'm a light user of them. I haven't tried much else, honestly.
Hey, I'm sorry. My earlier reply to you was way out of left field.

I was so terrified to post any of this or to speak publicly about anything that it was very hard to read the replies. I was sort of skimming them holding my breath for the inevitable backlash. I happened to read your reply, and it happened to be nearly a verbatim description of me, completely by chance. And me replying about Terry was also by chance, since Terry was the first example that popped into my head of someone who has it way worse.

The truth is, I've been struggling with a few mental problems, and it's been very difficult. Partly because of how carefully you have to conceal them so as not to be labeled and shunned, or at least treated differently.

Somehow in the heat of the moment, it all made complete sense that my mental instability was so obvious that people were talking about it. And I was so stressed about the entire situation that I immediately started replying without thinking. That's more than a little stupid, on a few axes.

But um.. hi. I have a few problems. They're not so bad. And I try to remember to be thankful that at least it's not anywhere close to what Terry's going through. But they do get in the way of social interactions. This whole thread is arguably some evidence of it. Suffice to say, I empathize strongly with Terry and I wish that there were a way to include him in some activities.

When you're completely isolated by almost everyone you care about, it starts to get to you after awhile. I don't know what's up with me but I'm just going to take a break and focus on making the alt-HN good.

Sorry again. I tried to find your email but it's hard to locate. In hindsight my replies to you are incredibly embarrassing (more like mortifying, but whatever).
Well this just further convinces me that Apple’s problem is lack of man hours. If the problems are due to trying/wanting 3x what your capable of... you’ve got two options. A: reduce your expectations. B: increase your capacity so you can achieve it.

Given Apple has a pile of cash so large it could do pretty much anything it wants... and have had for several years now... I’ve begun viewing their continued unwillingness to aggressively pursue opinion B as a failure of “upper middle management” who are clearly either suppressing the needs coming up from below, or in the very least, not pushing hard enough to their bosses that their teams are under resourced for achieving the companies goals.
To quote world hunger:

"The world produces enough food to feed everyone. [...] A principal problem is that many people in the world still do not have sufficient income to purchase (or land to grow) enough food or access to nutritious food."

It's amazing that we produce enough food to feed everyone. The question is how to ensure that everyone has enough access to income to feed themselves. There are two major factors here, the price of food and the income of the person. Both of these can be adjusted to ensure that everyone can eat.

Advances like nitrogen fixing, rust resistant wheat and proper irrigation can push the price of food down. Some of these have the amazing property of being able to be solved essentially once and have the whole world benefit, the green revolution had absolutely amazing ROI, the work of just a handful of people produced wheat that can be raise yields dramatically almost everywhere. It'd be great to see the same thing done with cassava, rice and other staples.

Raising incomes is fairly tricky and even more contentious, but thankfully that is happening as well.
I saw this happen on an AMP page.

I was... rather surprised. One of AMP's huge value props is preventing that type of garbage.

I'm also surprised that the publisher did that, I hope that'd be a good way to get blacklisted from the higher search ranking placement.

> To bolster your argument in a non-technical way: if Tor made users untrackable by US intelligence, would US intelligence really keep funding it?

Maybe; if US intelligence's high-value targets can be targetted by means that Tor does not protect (compromising endpoints, emissions-based techniques, etc.), and Tor provides US intelligence agents a way to exfiltrate information in a way immune to any but more involved, specifically targetted techniques, it might still be valuable to both have Tor exist and have it used by enough people not on US intelligence payroll that it's mere use didn't finger people as agents.

You have to remember that US intelligence does more than monitor people's communications, it also needs communication channels that are accessible, unmonitored, and deniable for its own agents.

Although I'm not a founder, the rule I espoused in the early days (<20 people) was to not hire for a role unless 50% of a person's time was collectively being spent on that role across the company. This was a great way to be disciplined in determining what was actually a bottleneck for our growth.
Number Shield: Block Spoofed ‘Neighbor Calls’ on iOS
On one hand yes on the other hand in interest of being pithy I did not say: even when software written in C is broken you're going to need more than a couple semesters of class or a couple months of use to actually fix the C underpinnings of pygtk.
When you are training your search models you take editorial position all the time. There is no 'one single truth' of what the search results should be, let alone what the search-related artifacts (query suggestions, drill-downs, answers, etc) should be.

Real people go to work every day to label images as 'corresponding' or 'not corresponding' to a query, different people write guidelines for these labeling, other people curate which queries to label and which labeled results to train, etc etc.

In theory, all these people or at least their accumulated work produce some kind of 'neutral' result; in reality, a systemic bias on some of these levels can easily have an editorial effect that is impossible to prove.
I don't know how the details of this is done. However, you should assume that every piece of that that the Facebook app has access to, it will relay back to HQ. It will be stored and correlated with other datapoints that they have of you. They will know who you encounter as you go about your day.

I'm super surprised that they haven't made a dating app out of this.
This.

I've been looking for places in Portland and find the Refin estimation uncannily close to a 1:1 correlation with property taxes, unlike, say Zillow which is more optimistic.

I understand that this is to be expected, but its really sort of unbelievable how tight the correspondence is.
Yes. Do you know of an issue with SIMs with this device?

There's no place for them to go anymore. My solution (since I don't have kids yet) is to try to live in, or make "places". Ie agitate my city to build plazas, public gathering places and walkable neighborhoods in the hopes that my kids will get to enjoy them when they're old enough.
> Isn't chaos (in the mathematical sense) purely deterministic?

yes. things like the logistic map or lorenz system demonstrate mathematical chaos, while being utterly deterministic.

"chaos is random" is a popsci dilution / mangling.
It could all be done with weight shifting:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiller_VZ-1_Pawnee

Maybe shifting the battery?

I can't remember the details but as you shift weight and begin moving laterally, when you pick up lateral speed it interferes with the ducting effect or enhances it in some way can counter reacts against the movement, giving dynamic stability.

Neither of the two definitions at your link seems to serve your "include IT, exclude medical doctors" purpose.
Thank you! That's definitely something interesting I might explore in the future. I've been thinking about doing something with external artists/collaborators, but first I think I'm gonna be focusing on having a solid offer (as in a lot more designs).
Oracle holds the copyright on much of OpenZFS. They'll have to agree to relicensing it first.

With Solaris dead I'd generally agree that it's a little pointless to keep it incompatible. They might as well just place it under something like BSD or Apache 2, that should keep the FreeBSD and Mac OS X ports happy as well as opening up the possibility of inclusion in the Linux kernel. With Oracle Solaris dead, I think there's even a case for Oracle's bottom-line: they could start including ZFS with Oracle Enterprise Linux and boast about all the advantages of using it there.
Yes, at least in the sense of succeeding the article talks about. India is the third country in the world by GDP at purchasing power parity, which is consistent with its population being second largest.
Well even if they say it's their EULA, won't stop the pro miners one bit. The effort is not work it.

Besides; some people who develop would probably use a 'scaled down' system to test it anyway.

> Almost every language has bindings for C, and C has bindings for almost everything.

In my mind this is the #1 reason to learn C. And it's unlikely that C++ will replace C in this role anytime soon as C++ has many more ways for an ABI to go wrong.
Another negative point to throw on the pile. Cryptocurrency has been overhyped to an unbelievable degree. It is environmentally harmful and generally a nuisance. I like making money off of wildly fluctuating markets as much as the next guy, but cryto is, at least in its current form, pretty damn stupid. All this enthusiasm for something which, as of now, there still isn't really a good use case for, is crazy.
Ironically, the book, including the cheesy title, fits in a range of parenting books telling parents how to arrange their children's lives, making children an object rather than the subject once again.

Psychologists (and related specialists) could use more humbleness given the sad state of the science of psychology. Parenting advice, especially one argued in such biased way, is inevitably crude. Parenting is more nuanced, kind of like a conversation, always taking different path, shaped by family circumstances and objectives of everyone involved and frequently taking unexpected turns.
> It’s because the app is without peer.

Eh. Lyft provides essentially the same feature set. Here in NYC we also have Juno and Gett. The point is not that Uber is bad, but that it's utterly replaceable. The one plus they do have is their presence in so many cities around the world, and while that is a benefit, I'm not convinced it's enough - I don't think that many people travel that often that it can keep the company competitive.
Charts don’t have the same scale. As the result, it’s hard to visually compare these - for example, for juniors, the shapes are similar for score 4, but top tier school students are above 20 mark, while the rest are below.

Interviewing is expensive, especially if you hire the wrong person, and if a given population tends to cluster around higher scores, that what you’d pick first.
Sure. I do. I still haven't quite made it to first base with the new career but that's because I am solopreneuring and building the first platform. This takes time! However, I have come a long way.

My story doesn't feel unique. I learned what was necessary to then acquire skills used to create experiences by building lots of software every day for years. I gave back as I grew. This process continues today.

I've done this over and over, across disciplines. However, tech has captured my focus entirely for the time being.

So for the 99.999999% of the rest of us who don't use personal systems to provide monitoring services this argument doesn't apply. Seems like it would be easier to just use outside monitoring or setup some monitoring instances in the cloud that your employer owns than going through this effort.
