You get to set permissions on a per-app basis, so that's a lot less access than going them your password. And if they abuse the access you give them, you can deauth just that app instead of changing the password and breaking all the apps.

Edit: I think you were asking about the other direction. It's still not as bad, because if you are sharing passwords and any service was breached, all you services would be exposed. But with delegated authentication, breaching one service doesn't expose your whole account. The one exception is if they breach Google or Facebook.
> The article's refutation of these ideas is the King's College study that determined that "50% of the variance in intelligence is heritable."

I can't read the article because I've exceeded my limit, I guess, but how does this follow?

For the purposes of a gifted program all that matters is that intelligence is real and measurable. It could be totally randomly distributed (ie not heritable) and it could still make sense to identify and specially educate smart kids.

If you think Ramanujan was simply smart or "gifted" as society defines that term, you probably didn't look into his story deeply enough.

A deeply religious Hindu, Ramanujan credited his substantial mathematical capacities to divinity, and stated that the mathematical knowledge he displayed was revealed to him by his family goddess.
Ramanujan's first Indian biographers describe him as a rigorously orthodox Hindu. He credited his acumen to his family goddess, Mahalakshmi of Namakkal. He looked to her for inspiration in his work and said he dreamed of blood drops that symbolised her consort, Narasimha. Afterward he would receive visions of scrolls of complex mathematical content unfolding before his eyes

This is not true. The client can simply skip the certificate verification, making the connection unauthenticated. Raw Public Keys (which are basically simplified X.509 certificates), can also lead to unauthenticated connections.

In fact, Appendix C5[1] reads:

Previous versions of TLS offered explicitly unauthenticated cipher
suites based on anonymous Diffie-Hellman. These modes have been
deprecated in TLS 1.3. However, it is still possible to negotiate
parameters that do not provide verifiable server authentication by
several methods, including:

- Raw public keys [RFC7250].

- Using a public key contained in a certificate but without
validation of the certificate chain or any of its contents.

I've once worked with a trader whose magic sauce was encoded a spreadsheet he had been developing and carrying around for 10 years. It had tens of thousands of formulas and references cross ~50 sheets.

He suspected he had introduced an error somewhere, but gave up after a couple of months of trying to, you know, verify the whole thing.

The Manafort/Gates indictments, I think, demonstrate how easy it is to launder money into the US and how unlikely it is to get caught. These guys were pretty blatant about it and nothing happened to them, for years, laundering millions of dollars into the US. It's pretty clear that they would have gotten away with it if a precise sequence of events in the last couple of years hadn't happened.
Here's the Finnish road safety council infographic about pedestrian reflectors (required by law in Finland): https://www.liikenneturva.fi/en/road-safety/reflector

They claim a pedestrian without reflectors can be seen from 50 m with low beams. Other source I've seen break it down by the color of clothing; white might be seen from 50 m (160 feet), yellow from 37 m (120 feet), and darker colors even worse, down to black which is visible from a distance too short to react.

High beams are a much different story, of course. And perhaps the numbers for HID lamps on a luxury car are better - at the expense of blinding and distracting the other drivers on the road.

This is a more or less solved problem in MySQL with pt-online-schema-change [1] which accomplishes “create a new table ...” with the “copying data over” done for you using triggers and “switch clients over” done using a table rename, all within a tool with the longest full table lock held during the rename step. Some of this appears to be available in MySQL itself as of 5.6, but regardless all of this is fraught with edge cases.

Amazing post/reply. Your comments mostly echo how I run my business and are a nice reminder for me that what I'm doing works! :)

I think there is an art to marrying the idea of billing hourly and fixed-price projects.

For me, projects are estimated and estimated are approved by the client. I will do my best to ensure work is completed within that time frame. However, if more work than estimated is required to complete a project, it is my responsibility to notify the client as soon as possible. I will provide an estimate for the time I believe necessary to complete the job, and the client will approve this new estimate. Me all agree to this up-front; it's in the Statement of Work. Always have a Statement of Work!
This is the corruption trap that you see in narco-regimes and countries where government institutions are being built or rebuilt.

If X personal compensation exists for corrupt behavior, and < X is the reward for serving legal government institutions correctly, then how do you make government function?

If you prosecute people for corrupt behavior, then your prosecutors and justice system now have to make the same decision.

Ultimately, rule of law only exists because of tradition and a sufficiently widespread support of it.

I see your point. For k8s production, you'd have to use a solution provided by the cloud operator, GoogleKE / AzureKS / AmazonKS / etc. Which leaves the on-prem cluster and/or baremetal hosted cluster uncovered. Not that I'm convinced it's worth running baremetal anything, you're likely to be less efficient than large cloud operators because of economies of scale.

Luxury real-estate was looked into in 2016 and up to 30% of deals they looked into were suspicious as money laundering conduits [1]. Who knows how much this inflates real estate values or diminishes needed supply.

With Citizen's United vs FEC it is now a massive target for money laundering as well [2]. Tons of foreign money is involved with it and can get in easily with Citizens United [3]. Our politics is going to get much more crazy with not only the foreign money involved but the dark money being cleaned.

Russian oligarchs or any group under sanctions also have ways to get money laundered besides the old school ways of casinos, black market products, etc [4].

> According to James Henry, a former chief economist at McKinsey & Company who consulted on the Panama Papers, some $1.3 trillion in illicit capital has poured out of Russia since the 1990s. [4]

> In 1998, Russia defaulted on $40 billion in debt, causing the ruble to plummet and Russian banks to close. The ensuing financial panic sent the country’s oligarchs and mobsters scrambling to find a safe place to put their money. [4]

> Among the new tenants was Eduard Nektalov, a diamond dealer from Uzbekistan. Nektalov, who was being investigated by a Treasury Department task force for mob-connected money laundering, bought a condo on the seventy-ninth floor, directly below Trump’s future campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway. A month later he sold his unit for a $500,000 profit. The following year, after rumors circulated that Nektalov was cooperating with federal investigators, he was shot down on Sixth Avenue.[4]

> In 2013, police burst into Unit 63A of Trump Tower and rounded up 29 suspects in a $100 million money-laundering scheme [4].

Tao's Analysis I is fantastic. There's a review available from the MAA: https://www.maa.org/publications/maa-reviews/analysis-i-0

The book doesn't touch on applications. Since you're studying applied math, you might want to supplement it with something like "Calculus with Applications" by Peter Lax and Maria Terrell.

I was thinking about insurance as I wrote my previous comment. All it takes is one that doesn’t have it when the risk is a new precedent. Government would just go after them. (And that’s assuming the government doesn’t just pass a new law, which is non-zero risk, but which I will overlook for now because sometimes one bit of a government will do things against the interests of another bit, such as a recent case in the UK where a specialist was recruited for the NHS and kicked out by the Home Office).
You'll note that the article never uses "watchmaker" or "watchmaking" to describe what they do, probably exactly because "watchmaking" has a different meaning than merely "making watches".

Ah Raskolnikov - I had a literary crush on him as an 18 year old girl. Dostoyevsky helped clarify my late-teenage ideas, along with other authors of his ilk, that morality is a construct created by humans and is not a fixed set of laws based on natural order to be blindly followed. Like his fictional love-interest, I was disappointed in Raskolnikov's carrying-through with the crime, but pleased with how the book elaborated and continued on important human themes of self-discovery (not to add any spoilers for those yet to enjoy this wonderful novel). I think this book is best for young people who are forming their ideas, but if you read it as a fully-formed adult you'll certainly still enjoy the prose.

Not at all. If a certain law does not solve the intended problem and it poses costs on innocent bystanders (e.g. website administrators who are not involved in any illegal activity), then it might need to be reconsidered. The equivalent attitude would be: Requiring everyone shit in the sink and wash their hands in the toilet is not going to solve insider trading, so we should not make that a requirement. "So what, you support insider trading and letting people profit off private company information?" No, not at all. I just want to shit in the toilet and wash my hands in the sink. It won't make a difference to insider trading either way.

Indeed. It seems there are many such tools available for MySQL: Openark kit [0] for instance, whose author also brought us gh-ost. Unfortunately most tools focus on just MySQL, and none really have an answer when you want to use (and enforce) foreign key constraints. Although it's hard to say, I suspect the users of these tools have "given up" on foreign key constraints.

But that's not the point of this article. The article says:

"Nor is there any mention of the fact that Demand Abolition, in exchange for providing approximately $191,667 in funding to the King County prosecutor’s office over four years, asked Seattle-area law enforcement to carry out regular arrests and prosecutions of buyers with the goal of disrupting demand."

The question is whether it's appropriate for a group of citizens to be able to fund a prosecutor's office and expect it to arrest people in return for its funding.

How would you feel if some anti-drug group gave your local prosecutor money and told them they had to aggressively arrest pot users?

Should prosecutors be allowed to accept money from private groups at all? Or should they be funded entirely by taxpayer dollars, distributed by elected officials?

I actually had a gig based exactly on this. There was a very complex spreadsheet that was used by an actuarial department of an insurance company that they finally decided to automate. There were .net libraries that could access the spreadsheet components and produce external reports, and put values into a database. Oddly, they kept the spreadsheet component as a the input mechanism.
I just attended a crypto convention, where most of the speakers, some with legal background, said their respective countries are waiting to see how the US SEC rules on ICOs, before taking a similar approach.
Specifically you need to whittle it down to those uses of Excel where...

- one spreadsheet is shared among more than about 5 people (or they each have their own version of it... shudder)

- the sheet has more than about 10,000 rows

That's the point where Excel truly starts to be not the right answer.

That's not great either. Moving the "master" role from one server to a replica isn't instantaneous (meaning you have a period of read-only state), and while your replica is performing the schema operation you still need to keep the data in sync with changes made on the master server (which to the best of my knowledge is non-trivial).
