Robert Graham had a rebuttal, too, and he mentions how Let's Encrypt for instance is quite vulnerable to sophisticated attackers employing DNS spoofing attacks against it:

https://blog.erratasec.com/2018/04/no-ray-ozzie-hasnt-solved...

Also, I think most would agree that CAs are quite terrible at security. It's part of the reason why everyone thinks the CA system sucks and is not trustworthy and it's also why Google has been pushing for Certificate Transparency to be able to verify if the CAs (or people hacking the CAs) are misbehaving. But it's still a patch on a broken system.

And look what's been happening with Symantec, too, the largest CA. They were terrible at managing the infrastructure in a secure manner. There are thousands of different CAs. Most are probably insecure or hacked, we just haven't learned about it yet.

Also, if you read Green's post, he mentions how this wouldn't be like the CA/software signing system at all. In those systems, you can revoke the certificate. If someone gets the master key for 500 million iPhones, those phones will either need to be bricked or they will remain vulnerable forever.

If the NSA/FBI would learn that the system was compromised, they'd never tell us about it either, because they'd know people would then be pushing for the removal of the system, and they wouldn't want that after fighting for so long for something like it.

I think Ozzie is being very irresponsible pushing for this. And the reason he is being this irresponsible is because he has a patent on it (Green links to it in the post), so he'd get royalty for billions and billions of phones for the next 20 years if implemented. That's really his main goal here. Ozzie wants all the credit and money for it, but I bet he's not going to take any liability for when the system is inevitably broken.
Another misunderstanding - I know someone who had a baby sitter mistake the starter for yogurt and eat some. I’m sure that was an unpleasant surprise.

In the 1980/90s I used to cycle everywhere as a kid. I must have done at least 10 miles a week as I lived 3 miles from my best friends. And I lived in the country.

I only ever remember swallowing an insect twice. It probably happened more, but it definitely wasn't a regular occurrence and tended to only happen on hills when you were going really fast.

Also the having to clean screen thing was a thing that happened certain years, not every single year. We used to go on trips to France that we drove to, from East England to France, 10 hours of driving, and some years it needed cleaning a lot, some it didn't.

Again, I totally realise that there definitely is something happening, but the way people are talking is that there used to be a swarm of insects every year, when that wasn't the case. It was different year to year, and it looks like 1989 in Germany was definitely a 'heavy' year and not a great baseline.

My bread method is the opposite - how many steps can I skip and get a great result. The answer for me has resulted in a loaf started just now (with a 10 year old starter). It’s evening now and I’ll cook it tomorrow at midday.
Edit: I’m talking about a bread recipe, not a starter one, which is clearly an important difference.
The yeast isn't just different between villages, it's different from street to street.

Wild yeast is everywhere, and very different from place to place. To my understanding a little jar of one culture stands no chance against the evolutionary pressures outside it, so within a week or two an imported starter will return to whatever yeast exist in that specific area.

Trading across villages would be a really good way to keep 'new' flavours coming in :)

>The link to the Oxford PDF supports what I'm saying, that they don't offer degrees in theology. Instead they call the program 'theology and religion.'

I really don't see how that supports what you're saying. If theology was regarded as equivalent to homeopathy (which is a comparison you could only make if you were completely ignorant of theology), then Oxford would not be offering degrees in "theology and X" any more than they offer degrees in "homeopathy and X".

See also lots of other references to theology degrees that you could easily find by googling:

Yes! I'd been baking all my own bread for years but had repeatedly failed to cultivate a sourdough starter despite following lots of guides to the letter. I finally got mine living nicely when I completely let go, stopped measuring and worrying, just learned to smell and watch. I pour flour in straight from the bag and splash water from a big container, as long as the consistency is somewhere between thin mud and thick mud it can work (I think heavily chlorinated water makes it very difficult though). I have no fridge in summer and little-to-no heating in winter, my starter just sits on a shelf at various temperatures... if I don't use/feed it for a while it needs a couple of days of feeding to get busy again. Even when it's not very lively I still make dough, it just takes longer to rise (and the taste/sourness might vary). I've not bought commercial yeast for a year now, all my bread is sourdough. Flour, water, salt, those are all my bread contains...well, those and billions of tiny fungi and bacteria.

I feel like once flour was invented sourdough was inevitable. Adding water to ground up grain is an obvious move as it binds it and makes it easier to work with. At some point a flour/water mix is going to be left standing and start bubbling, and when cooked it's going to get magically bigger. Boom, bread.

I enjoyed the post, always glad to see anything bread related. Baking bread has been a huge positive thing in my life, I'll never stop now (I was even without an oven for a year and learned to bake bread in a cast iron pot on a gas burner/hob). It's a rich sensory experience with all the smells and textures, and working dough is very grounding and 'real'. Every loaf is different and it's great fun waiting to see what's going to come out of the oven. I'd massively recommend getting into bread!

It has an "encyclopedic tone" but that does not mean it is objectively correct or makes a sensible argument. It is not the number itself that is illegal. What would that even mean?
Humans doing certain things with certain intentions can be illegal.

The article links to "illegal numbers", which weasely states "if communicating a specific set of information is illegal in some way, then the number may be illegal as well". Note the "may", and the only references seem to be pure speculation.

Some people argue any kind of copyright and IP rights should be abolished, but who would argue it should be completely legal to phone in a bomb threat because "it is really just a number represented as sound"?

"So Many" == "27 times in American legal decision"

And half of these 27 'don’t engage with her work beyond the first line of Pride and Prejudice: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife."'

And from some of the examples given, the author includes cases that merely use the phrase "It is a truth universally acknowledged..." followed by whatever the judge is arguing.

So in fact very few judges have used a phrase that is now very much within common usage in English, and which has obvious appeal in legal arguments.

The article then rambles on about Austen and gender and law with no apparent point, argument, or goal.

Nice idea, but looks like the data didn't back up the point the author wanted to make so they just dumped the words out anyway.
I've experienced plenty of bad management just like that which you described. These managers always seemed to be reacting to having to work with a pool of untrusted incompetents they couldn't get rid of for whatever reason. It all comes down to hiring - even bad managers ease up their control as trust increases.

Good point. Mine gets stirred and warmed up in a bread maker for 45 minutes, then goes into the fridge. If I forget it sits there until I remember. Once risen it’s knocked back and put into a banneton to rise. Then into the oven. The move into the banneton is the only time I touch it before eating.
Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory – April 2018
“Far gone” is a matter of perspective. To me, you seem like you are “far gone”. And who’s to say that your perspective is more valid than mine.
Banking is particular in the sense that there is often a large number of legacy systems that need to communicate reliably, at the same time that major business/technology decisions are made by leaders who do not have technical understanding. (Even in my native Norway, lauded for good digital banking services, almost no banks have a single technologist in their executive team -- the culture is changing, but most places still consider technology a service that is purchased and mostly separate from business concerns).

In a good case, top leadership will listen to architects and leads on the tech teams before making critical decisions, but in some cases, "business goals" will trump concerns from the technologists. This is of course a huge failure of communication, but it is an even bigger failure of organization. If technologists have to threaten to quit just to get their point across, the organization is broken.

Let's say I'm a senior banking developer i Europe. I'm being paid a fixed, moderate salary with a fixed number of hours each week, and I get no part of the bonus if this €100 million initiative succeeds, and I suffer no loss if we incur another €100 million of extra costs due to this failure. If I quit, it's with 3 months notice and it's a big PITA to find new work that suits my interests. What incentive do I have to do anything but do my best to alert the leadership to these problems, and then do my best to move the train of failure along?

The exact scenario described in this story -- an expensive service contract terminated at a hard date, with costs to re-instate this contract therefore becoming even bigger, and the development team being pressed to deliver on this deadline whether it is realistic or not -- does not surprise me at all, and must have happened dozens of times all over the world.

If it goes wrong on a small scale, you will only see a few hundred or thousands of customers affected in a non-catastrophic manner (e.g. see the wrong balance in their accounts, but with the correct number being accessible in the back-end system), but it stands to reason that this example would at some point happen at a spectacular scale with no easy way back.

I'm not holding my breath, but at some point the boards of these banks should realize that technology is a core competency, and get people with tech skills in a position to make critical top-level decisions. (Not to mention get pay to have some semblance of connection with the sums involved in the success or failure of the work -- I get the impression that this is the case elsewhere in finance).
Thing is, it does. I am a very distractible person, but using a combination of Org mode's recurring tasks and clocking has helped me get many long-time tasks that I'd normally just procrastinate away done. And all those little bit of configuration and scripting has indeed made me if not more productive per se, more efficient in using Emacs and Org to be more productive at least, and that is no little thing at all.

Run the same thing trough Astree. It can do static runtime error analysis based on abstract interpretation.

You can't prove that a program is free of all runtime errors (that is undecidable), but it's possible to signal all potential errors and that's what Astree does with as little wrong singals as possible.

Of course SPARK Ada is nice and I woudl prefer it, but in practice safety is not language dependent. It depends on the tools and methods.

He could put a small sum of money on an exchange, let's say $10k. Then transfer it into a anonymous cryptocurrency like Monero or ZCash. "Friends" send him the rest of the money (in the form of Monero) which he then brings back to the exchange.

He can justify the amount by "smart" trading. With the current volatility in the market, making 10x profits is not unheard of.
> Why do you draw this distinction between "instances" and "peers"

I understand why you ask this, but the word "instance" has come to mean the server running something like MediaGoblin or Mastodon (the server in a server/client model), while a "peer" is an end-user device running a P2P app like BitTorrent or ScuttleButt (that is both client and server). P2P networks have their cons, but the major pro for a network not backed by large wads of capital is that they scale as they add users. Server-to-server federated networks using OStatus, Diaspora protocol, Zot, or ActivityPub have to scale by convincing people with scarce sysadmin skills to set up more servers, and figure out how to sustain them (both organizationally and financially).

> My experience is that users really like [retweeting/sharing] features.

Sure, but that doesn't mean every piece of network software needs to have them. They are one of the key tools for abusing The Stacks; post something you want to trend (spam, fake news), get a botnet of zombie users to boost it. Given the way Scuttlebutt transports and stores posts, they would create a lot of extra overhead, and potential for abuse, for no major benefit (people can always cut'n'paste if they really want to reshare).

I'm not sure you need to involve exchanges necessarily. Just buy some CPU/GPU resources and mine your own currency. I've never had a hosting provider do KYC on me. Then you can store the cryptocurrency indefinitely and move it to real currency as needed. That step might require KYC, but you can buy physical items using cryptocurrency, so maybe not.

I have no idea whether or not this is cost effective given current mining difficulties and cloud hosting rates... but I'm sure someone somewhere is doing this.
