Partially.
Obviously, self-marketing was the motivation for this test. However, it is still a helpful reference. If your provider doesn't even release a properly configured VPN client, you might want to reflect on whether to rely on the rest of their infrastructure.

>Also if anonymity is of "real" concern

You're digressing. Whatever a user wishes to anonymize their information for can be a valid concern but that does not necessarily require absolute anonymity.

Any time you try to unlock a vault by providing a password, 1Password's infrastructure has to run it (along with other inputs) through 100,000 iterations of a hash function to derive a key. Many password managers nowadays do something like this, because it makes every guess more expensive (linearly I suppose?).

This is, of course, no substitute for a nice long password whose characters are members of the largest alphabet you can think of, but it's something.

I'm not qualified to analyze a security system in detail, but 1Password have published the mechanism they use to secure vaults. You might want to check it out for more details:

Show HN: StackCrunch – A platform to share your development experiences
Hello HN,

My name is Deepak. I've created this platform (https://stackcrunch.io) where developers can share their experiences in form of short stories linked to real-world practical solutions on Q&A platforms.

This project is currently in early access mode, where you can check out the platform & start writing your stories.

Also, please do check out the launch article and how to create a story at https://stackcrunch.io/posts

I'd love to hear back from the community.

Warm Regards,

And by the federal construction, all states acting together in concert--as the federal government--are also forbidden from doing those things "no state shall" do. But the 14th also includes "subject to the jurisdiction thereof".

The essential element for the territories is whether the federal US has jurisdiction there in addition to sovereignty. The US definitely has sovereignty over American Samoa, as it is a territory not a protectorate, but the jurisdiction remains in the local entity of American Samoa, under its constitution and statutes, except where it has been explicitly ceded or shared, or seized.

As such, the court would have to examine whether he was subject to the jurisdiction of the United States at the time he was born. As the United States makes a distinction between "incorporated" and "unincorporated" territories, one could argue that the "unincorporated" status is an indicator that the US refuses to extend its jurisdiction there.

So he does not have a valid claim under the 14th Amendment. It would be up to American Samoa to petition Congress to be "incorporated", and thereby subject itself to the federal jurisdiction of the US, and also to make that status retroactive beyond the birthdates of the class plaintiffs, in order for the court decide the case has merit. If it were to do so, the exclusionary local laws that favor island natives would then be subject to examination under equal protection and federal nondiscrimination clauses. If they want equal rights as the mainlanders, they have to erase the distinctions on the island, too.

If Samoa becomes incorporated, all the normal constitutional protections apply.
That'd be interesting if I could tell Facebook (or whatever social media) I want to be closer to my family (so it surfaces family posts) or local community (so it surfaces geographically close posts) or that I want to lose weight (so it surfaces motivational/dieting posts) or I am training for a marathon (so it surfaces running/training posts) or I went through a bad breakup recently (so it surfaces pictures of puppies and my single friends living fun bachelor lifestyles), or that I want to learn programming (so it surfaces programming things). Or like a button for "Only show me positive, happy stuff".

I mean, I guess you can achieve all of that with a carefully curated Newsfeed / friends list, but it's different than having the dials for what you want to feel/accomplish (how you want to be psychologically manipulated) and the AI could periodically check in ("Am I making you happier?" or "Do you feel inspired to run more often?") and adjust how the content is being surfaced.
The implication is that the (especially American) upper class is trenched on this belief that CEOs of large companies require a certain pedigree that may not be based on observable, empirical evidence but rather on a mythos to keep the upper class relatively "pure" and the number of rich CEOs controlled to (mostly) existing class members, while attempting to appear egalitarian ("anyone" can go to an ivy league school; "anyone" can fail upward; "anyone" can develop the skills to be a proper CEO, it's just "hard work" that a silver spoon makes "easier").

The relative rarity of CEO jobs at sizes deemed large helps ensure that empiricism is complicated because the sample sizes remain small, so what the truth here is, who can say? It's tough to science.

I am actually in a very similar situation. I want to run a microservices system on a single k8s node for testing purposes, put nginx with SSL in front of it and add Jenkins for automation.

Took the day to setup minikube on a CentOS server and play around, however, I wasn't able to expose anything to the outside world. Looking into Ingress at the moment, however, documentation is a bit loose there, I think.

Another comment suggests to setup a single-node cluster and remove the taint on the master, maybe I will try that instead.

Crypto's Billionaire Trading King Has Suddenly Run into Problems
You're correct that poor governance is a big part of the problem. Nevertheless, it is certainly possible for well governed pensions to remain solvent and even run at a surplus. Insurance and annuities are two other industries with the same basic concept. Pool risks together and guarantee a certain level of future benefits based on conservative assumptions (it is not unreasonable to guarantee an inflation adjusted payout if you assume you will generate a market-based return over the long run). One of the problems today is that assumptions have not been conservative.
Ignoring dividends and interest, the stock price itself is the market's approximation of the expected future value of a share. That's precisely how you quantify it.

Yes, but the internet is not purely communication, it's also a store of knowledge. You can find a lot of good information from threads and discussions people have had in the past.

Also, even records of mundane communication people had throughout thousands of years in the past is of great value to archaeologists in learning about how people lived their lives and how different events affected them.

Since we live in a time where we have the privilege of rediscovering the past in greater detail than ever, we should have the introspection to be mindful of what we are leaving for our future as well.
I wish I could see the feed without any retweets at all. Just new tweets.
I disagree. At a certain point, things get very serious. When companies become successful and deal in billings in the 100's millions or billions, it's time to get a more experienced team.

It's the ethical thing to do; it's a fiduciary duty of leadership to do so.

He may be stepping aside because what's required to lead an enterprise company is not something he's capable of or interested in doing; it's a radically different thing then created a company from nothing.

I think Shykes stepping aside is an extremely professional move and a hallmark of great leadership. Honestly, it's not something you see often in tech; many founders hold on for dear life and companies suffer greatly because of it.

While I agree that pretty much all news media is toxic, the reason Facebook makes people unhappy is that 1) people put on their best show there, and 2) others compare themselves and become discontent. It's the constant comparing of your life to the perception that others have it better that causes all this unhappiness.

If you're not growing you're dying.
It's funny, because I absolutely agree with your assessment. But then I started a couple of thought experiments.

How about the reverse case? Would, say, Meg Whitman or Satya Nadella, for example, be able to act as a CEO or co-founder of a small company, say < 10 employees?

But then I thought about Bill Joy, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and, well, you hopefully get my point.

Which is, even though I agree that most startup founders probably would not be able to head the same company as it grew by multiple orders of magnitude, there are enough famous outliers that we know it can be done and can be done spectacularly well.

There must be a statistical name for this apparent paradox. (Or am I just experiencing confirmation bias?)

> The amount of time these tech leads spend coding necessarily expands and consumes the time they have available for management.

I call this being a "dev++", and I think it's an unhealthy mindset for leadership. Moving into leadership means advancing beyond the tasks you used to do. This is true everywhere, and lack of promoting yourself beyond those tasks will drag you down. This goes all the way up to c-suite level, where people fail due to focusing too much on their old group and job, and neglect all the new groups they inherited in the promotion.

I've been an individual tech lead for a few years now, and am about to take on a team while still maintaining the technical leadership role. I'm basically going to be a blended technical lead, project manager, and people manager. The only way I could do this was to stop coding myself. If I'm coding, it's to investigate an issue that has stumped others, or do a proof-of-concept for a particular technology or pattern.

Otherwise, my time is entirely devoted to helping individual developers increase their understanding of our stack or engineering in general. Or, on the other side, sitting with business and understanding requirements so that I can determine how engineering will approach the problem. I then delegate that vision to the engineers to implement, with code review closing the loop.

PCSX2: OpenGL and AMD GPUs All You Need to Know
Something curious about facebook is, they let anyone access user profile/pages (or whatever it is called), so visitor can see the user profile picture and might be able to see other stuff. Facebook "protects" the privacy of the "visitor" because the user cannot see what visitors have visited their profiles.

So, users have no privacy, but visitors have their privacy protected.

Facebook should list "who" visited user profiles. I dont know why they dont do this already. And even more, they could somehow list what photos the visitor chose to see, how long visitor stayed on user profile, which 'full resolution pictures' visitor had downloaded. If they only saw thumbnails then no need to list, but if visitor made the effort to download all full resolution user pictures then the owner of those pictures should be able to see who has downloaded them.

So this way, the user would be able to see how frequently visitor X, Y, Z has stayed on their profiles, and how many/which full res pictures they have downloaded/seen.

If the user profile is not a person, but a store, then the store would be able to benefit from this data and send some message saying "We noticed you have been visiting us lately, and you seem to have a lot of intrest in product X. Do you want to know the price or make an offer?"

Or, if the user is a person and has seen weird behaviour from weird users, then user would be able to take precautions.

So in the end, the user profiles are public and have no privacy. But the visitors/consumer of other people profiles can snoop on other lifes and have their privacy protected because the page they visited is never able to know they have been visited by visitor X Ntimes.

This does not at all ring true. I mean, yes, you could not take all of Chicagoland tomorrow and cram it into the city limits. But that's in part because a fraction --- a significant fraction, and probably the majority --- of suburban residents chose to live in the suburbs because they did not want to live in the city.

I live in Oak Park, just across Austin, because when we moved here we were concerned about the schools in the neighborhood we wanted (Lincoln Square). We had no trouble finding houses to look at, though! (I sort of regret the decision we made, though I like where we live now.)

In fact, even in the most desirable neighborhoods in the city, it's straightforward to find housing in Chicago. People do not move to the suburbs because there's no room in Chicago. There are cities that have that problem. And Chicago has a lot of problems! But it does not have that problem.
I wouldn't be so sure. As a developer I've used a similar strategy to make restoring important data easier that occasionally would be deleted by mistake. This wasn't private information though.

Also, I have zero confidence that any of the big tech companies thoroughly delete data they've obtained even if it's illegal to keep. Big tech companies aren't exactly known for following the law. While GDPR sounds nice in theory, the U.S. based companies might "delete" the data from E.U. servers, but conveniently keep backups in the U.S. Or they might forget to pass on the delete request to trusted third-parties.
