>They're switching to TOFU instead, the first time you see a key it's trustworthy, similar to SSH.

Which is horrible unless your first connection to a server is trustworthy or you have an out-of-band way to verify keys (which is why it works in SSH, and can't work on the web).
Technical debt and microservices presentation by chief architect of Warby Parker [pdf]
I'm a little late to reply but the blunt answer is "because it wouldn't be worth it." To clarify, the point I was making wasn't that tribalism is actually desirable, simply that if it's ethically agnostic then entrenched and powerul tribes benefit more from its perpetuation typically.

For the thought experiment, creating a United States of the World would require either literally taking over the world or some amount of agentic sacrifice from every nation absorbed into the uber tribe. The case for California is similarly unrealistic but for different reasons, you can choose to occasionally give a member of a tribe lopsided benefits and deny them at other times. This is especially true when the alternative is compromising the perceived security of people who are already members of the tribe. Put more succinctly, the California idea is bad because it would lead to infighting and can be handled in a non-binary fashion.
Chief Architect of Warby Parker Robert Lefkowitz's presentation on technical debt and his proposition for a microservice architecture called the von Neumann.

Some interesting ideas include:

1. Remove dependencies.
2. Store data in the code (inside AWS lambdas).
3. Technical debt is "borrowed" code.
Because google has a "technical ladder" document which mentions words "complexity" and "impact" like a dozen times and the word "quality" like once or twice ;-) That document is supposed to be used by promo committees to eval if you are "ready".
Sadly, they don't exist where I work currently. There is just the occasional 1:1 which aren't very productive/helpful and are more shoot the shit vs performance appraisal in style
Well ow I feel uitelliget

That seems like a different use case to me.
In the case of these clawbacks though, they aren't only taking the returns. They are taking it all, to be redistributed evenly. So in this case, even if you got your principle out early, you are probably going to have to share in the loss equally with everyone else when all is said and done.

draw.io | Senior JavaScript Engineers | Global | Full or Part Time Contractor | REMOTE

At draw.io we're aiming to prove that you can build a successful SaaS application as open source software. We're a remote, all engineering team, building both the front-end application, as well as the various integrations we support.

We don't set you yearly goals, review your performance against some arbitary scale every 6 months, or even set deadlines. Work is ready when it's implemented at production quality.

We're looking for an experienced software engineer (read as 10+ years commercial experience) and recent experience working on complex JavaScript applications. Proven ability to work remotely a plus.

You will need to demonstrate high attention to detail. You'll be left alone to manage yourself, in return you need to deliver to the necessary quality level without being heavily managed.

We're very fussy, but if you are self-motivated, have the skills and you're bored of the politics that many companies bring, you can own and develop complex systems from start to end without them being cancelled.

Please follow the instructions at https://about.draw.io/draw-io-jobs/
Very cool that they are able to change BGP advertisements from ChatOps, achieve convergence and mitigate the attack in all of 4 minutes, that is some insane engineering.

> Browsers need to remove all CAs except Let's Encrypt.

No. I love Let's Encrypt, but we can't put all our eggs in a single basket like that.

Now, if we could somehow foster multiple non-profit organizations like Let's Encrypt, but run under the aegis of different boards and sponsors, I'd be 100% for this idea.

It's very odd that companies for whom CAs business is quite literally a money printing operation can't be bothered to do the relatively minimal maintenance and care required for a trustworthy CA. A bizarre and unexpected failure of the market.

AFAIK you can just take the source data and apply your own weightings. For example, based on your own personal spending.

Also, calculating inflation can be very tricky. If every new iPhone costs the same, can you say that inflation = 0, or that there is deflation, since the same goods are now available at a lower price?
You say "they of course ignored almost everything in the CSR apart from the public key" but it turns out they went a bit further than that, they also ignored the signature on the CSR.

So you could put some other public key in there, add a bogus signature that wouldn't verify and they'd issue certificates for a key you never even controlled.

The bad security implications for that scenario are a bit subtle, and situational, but CAs are supposed to be checking that the CSR is properly signed, that's only a long way down the list because StartCom/ WoSign had so many other serious problems.
Yeah, my dad was always quick to remind me that 2 + 2 = 5 for large values of 2.

He said he came across that particular problem in a system which handled rounding numbers in a very suspect manner.
Even local reporting on new laws is not great, somewhat recently was Feinstein's gun law, not a fan of it, but there was so much misinformation flying around, making it seem much worse than it was. Which in turn detracted from legitimate criticism.

...or software engineers are still middle class and the bottom fell out of the middle class at some point. A lot of this depends on what "middle class" means. You'll have a really hard time buying a family home in SF or NYC on $120k a year.
Thriva | Full Stack Engineer | Onsite, London, UK | Full-time

We’re building the world’s first preventative healthcare service to address the 1 in 4 unnecessary deaths. In 5–10 years time people will look back and think it’s crazy how we approached health. People find it very difficult to get a grip on what’s going on inside, and this leads to big problems later on as our lifestyles catch up with us. Thriva is going to be the one to change that, hopefully with your help!

We're looking for engineers to join our team of 13 and help build a world class product. We want someone willing to jump in anywhere in the stack but solid experience with Ruby is a good positive. Find more details here:

The last work day before I took a management role.

I’m opposed to tools bringing along the equivalent of an entire operating system, with a massive attack surface, versioning issues, separate package management, and everything else along for the ride.

A self-contained binary has everything it needs to function and is typically much smaller. If I’m not using Java for my work, then I don’t want to be encumbered with having to think about it, or stay up to speed with releases and everything else.

I like to see projects with as few dependencies as possible, even when statically linked. Bringing in the JDK when it’s not needed is tiresome.
DoorDash doesn't mark up menu prices any more, at least in my market. Supposedly restaurants didnt like the hidden markup, so they moved all of their fees into the delivery fee and the service fee.

Its not terribly fair to consider taxes and tip as "hidden charges", IMO. The taxes you pay even if you go to the restaurant yourself, and the tip is the majority of what the drivers get paid -- they dont work for free. I'd prefer a flat driver's fee, though, its not twice as much work for someone to deliver $50 of food vs $25, so I generally don't make large orders on DoorDash.
Swedish search engine for influencers is hiring developers: http://scopeapp.io/jobs/
Ancient wisdom and modern science support the idea that exercise and nurturing are highly effecting in fighting depression. I once spent a day in a log cabin splitting wood, dancing and baking bread and thought to myself if everyone in the world could do one of these things every day most of the world's problems wound evaporate. My specific favorite prescription for the slings and arrow of outrageous fortune is an aerobic, geometric, tribal form of dancing that is challenging but easy to learn with a subculture that welcomes and celebrates beginners - contradancing [1]. I also recommend listening to uplifting music such as Stan Roger's Mary Ellen Carter [2]

Wow, let me stick the hot pokers in my eyes first! Qt/QML in a mobile app is something only a masochist could love.
First and most importantly, because I want to be sure people aren't dating/befriending me because of what I have. This is unfortunately something I've already experienced a couple times.

Second, because my experiences with many other people in my wealth/income bracket have driven me to try to avoid being anything like them or having other people view me the way I view some of them.

We're actually having an extraordinary run. Bill Gates keeps trying to point this out everywhere he goes, nobody appears willing to listen to facts.

The median standard of living across the democratic world is at an all-time high. Things have never been better in the liberal world.
During some analysis we did notice that at least some cloud providers default to having instances with public IPs (with no network-level ACLs) by default, and some Linux distributions default to having memcached listening for UDP traffic and binding to `0.0.0.0` by default as soon as it's installed. The unfortunate combination of these result in the machine being vulnerable to being used as an amplification vector in these attacks.
Exactly. Increasing wage inequality is an expected feature of the shift to the knowledge economy when large intellectual differences exist in the population. This often gets ignored in these discussions and people instead want to focus on the 0.01% capital class (and there are strong political incentives to do so), but that class isn't what's causing the 90th and 95th percentile earners to pull away from the middle class. That increasing wage gap is more consistent with a skills gap than a rigged system.
Probably to get press. If you have a giant botnet and get press for it, it's probably easier to get clients.
Why is intelligence a relevant quality regarding whether it's ok to torture and kill someone for pleasure? What about humans that are not intelligent, is it ok to torture and kill them for pleasure?

DDoS is a reminder of how broken the internet is.

How many times are we going to see the HN comment that says "lol why do so many people use Cloudflare? I don't need it for my blog!"

Naive decentralization (naive trust) doesn't work.
Ok, so my understanding is that the term "dark matter" refers to a difference between the theoretical and observed exapansion speeds (accelerations?) of the universe. Can someone summarize for me why this is a useful concept, and not just simplify it to "we have the theory of universe expansion wrong"? What is the evidence for there actually being something like matter involved?
> proving that Trustico has knowledge of all their customers private keys, keeping copies of them, which proves that they never knew how to run a Certficate Authority business in the first place

Well, they also weren't actually running a CA business either.
I believe Bill Gates at one point said that there wasn't a lot of idfference, lifestyle wise between $10m and $10b.

I think the biggest difference would be the outsized political, social influence and your own private jet.

But of course even at $10m you could easily afford to rent a jet pretty frequently.
