I've got a burner Nokia phone that I refer to as my "ground phone". Whenever I need a break from the cloud, I swap my SIM card into it. All it really has is texting and calling. It kind of works, but using it also means I have to give up some things that I consider essential practical tools like Google Maps, my full contacts list, my reminders, and my calendar. I really think there'd be a market for some kind of smartphone that has full utilitarian functionality but doesn't support and kind of distractions.
Yep, this is nasty to defend against.

Most of our internal infrastructure handling GDPR-data would be fine with this incident, since we encoded mutual validation and trust into a lot of systems. Clients need to authenticate to be authorized, obviously, but clients also authenticate the server against company-internal secrets. This is done using a bunch of secret, self-signed CA-Chains or managed ssh/known_hosts files.

But that kind of system is quite impossible to implement without control over the server and the client-side. And if the client has to get the information from somewhere, you have a tradeoff - flexibility vs security. You can either change the source of trust in a client quickly, as an attacker, or you can provide a secure connection which can be changed with 6 years of planning as a service provider.
I'm talking from Euro PoV. In my country disabled people get payouts and special care regardless of their career or insurance. They definitely couldn't afford gear and care on common UBI.

If someone is disabled and never had a good career going, additional disability insurance is not an option for them.

Easy - I'll just inject text-based ads into the saved data!

(Kidding, of course...)

I think it's unlikely that this site can be monetized, so I don't have my hopes up. The clearest direction would be to move up the "backend-as-a-service" spectrum into Headless CMS land (which I have a diagram for here: http://alexzirbel.com/npoint). But I think it would be hard to balance that with the quick setup / unstructured data nature of the project.

One feature (maybe a premium feature) I'd love to add is form-based data editing. Theoretically you could generate the right kind of input fields (text, date, number) from the JSON schema and expose that as alternative editing interface. That would make the tool more like a CMS.
Yes, this is documented in inode(7)
TL;DR: a 22 year old CS grad gets a job and learns that vanila software development career is not going to be as exciting and rewarding journey as he'd imagined. Good for him; for some people, it takes much longer to figure this out.
Presumably you want more than 2 layers. The technology for creating 2 layer boards has been around for quite a long time and is quite cheap.
Interesting concept. You need to get more advertisers though for this to be succesfull!
When did an entire industry of people get pre-judged as lying? Don’t we exist in a country where the default assumption is innocence not guilt?

Fucking LOL. I demand tests not to see whether you can write a for loop, my wife has an art degree and can do that. I demand tests to see if you bothered to comment your code, use version control, use tests, and actually put in some custom logic instead of boilerplate CRUD. There are so many people who fail those basic tasks, its unreal. Plus, programmers SUCK at interviews, so why even bother giving it any weight? Show me talent in the homework and I'll hire you.
Your OP links to itself
this is why i don't move out of Bay Area - me and my acquaintances have been through lay offs here at various years, during the booms and busts, and nobody had any significant issues promptly finding a new job (with a salary increase usually :). Compare that to, for example, the next best thing in US tech - when AMZN says come to Seattle i always imagine being laid off from it few years down the road (with a non-compete on top of that :), and if for any reason i don't get a job at the only other game in the town - MS - then what? Probably move to Bay Area :)
Delta Pointers: Buffer Overflow Checks Without the Checks [pdf]
The intrusiveness and desperation only escalate. For me the last straw was when Facebook started sending me notifications over SMS.

If I hadn't deleted my profile, I'm pretty convinced they'd be calling me on the phone or showing up at my house with printed-out notifications by now.
I upvoted them. My question was legitimate, because I'd forgotten about this part:

> the Chinese orphan girls, causes them to grow up into educated and skilled robots who need a strong external leader in the form of Nell.

They're capable, skilled individuals with no individuality. At once a positive (work well together) and a negative (seemingly require external leadership to direct their efforts). So a downside to the mass adoption of the book.
The BEAM VM's preemptive multitasking may be a more efficient use of rpi's limited CPU in comparison to the cooperative multitasking of say NodeJS for example.
1. Perhaps it seems too much now, but if we're taking the time to migrate our global network to a new standard, we might as well get a ton of addresses out of it for many years to come.

2. Why are you reading it? Networking addresses do NOT need some special UI / UX interface. For most users, they are never going to see it.

3. Neat, but that's not really a point. If you find yourself setting time limits on about everything in life, well let's just say you're boxing yourself in for failure.

Over the past 20 years we've seen the explosion of growth in devices, networking, and communication. It comes with no shock (to experts and experienced technical people alike) that it's taking a long time to switch over. There isn't some magical "press this button for everyone to be IPv6" FYI.
"Looks fake" was my first impression as well.

Based on the existing information, this looks to be a phone running on Android. And it'll be preinstalled with Uber and Facebook messenger.

So it's a minimalist phone for people who don't care about privacy? I don't get it.
That’s a tough question and the answer is that I don’t know. The current pricing scheme just rubs me the wrong way. I might just not be your target audience.
This is pretty different from my own recent experience.
Wow myetherwallet is trusted for transaction very non-trivial amounts. What would a good mitigation strategy be for these types of attacks.
I am giving a class on numerical methods and one student choose to use python (while my example code was in Julia). It was a pain to see how this student was constantly shooting himself in the foot due some particular behaviors of python and numpy. For instance the student did not expect that a list comprehension iterating over a numpy vector returns just a python vector. Also the fact that the index ranges the last value is excluded let to several bugs. The exercise involved a time dependent matrix and the student choosed to represent it as a 3d Array, but then he needed to constantly convert slices as a matrix to use matrix multiplication (maybe this is now better solved with python 3 and the @ operator). So in short for doing linear algebra, Julia is really more convenient to use.

It'd be interesting to explore something similar to the bitstring[1] library for Ocaml. Where should one start if exploring syntax extensions for Rust. I haven't looked into rust in a while now so i'm not sure how far one can get with macros these days.

Then you can only talk about two concepts. I would like to be able to say, intelligence, morality, and obesity are mutually orthogonal.

If your model is 2D, then you are requiring a relationship between at least two of them.
"[Chinese] Tech companies also often tout the attractive women they’ve hired as incentives for more men to come on board, according to the HRW report. Both Tencent and Baidu were noted to have posted to their social media accounts interviews with male employees who cited having beautiful women around them as an incentive for working there"

Let's not forget the gender pay gap, which imo is the main culprit

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014759671...

"In contrast to the United States and European countries, China has witnessed a widening gender pay gap in the past two decades."

China is a still a very patriarchal society. Much more so than the US or EU.

There's nothing "pessimistic" about thinking that a "shared purpose" is required. (I couldn't agree more!)

There's a reason Simon Sinek's "Start with Why" (clearly define the purpose of your organisation before the product) is the 3rd most popular Ted Talk (of all time ...)
https://www.ted.com/playlists/171/the_most_popular_talks_of_...

If the purpose is clearly defined, it should be obvious to everyone without any "marketing" required.

Are you lucky enough to work for an organisation that has a clear purpose? (I ask because v. few people do ...)

I guess Samsung is just not at their top of their game in terms of pushing differentiated product lines for their M.2 SSDs. Perhaps (or perhaps not) they should learn from Taiwanese companies. They would jump on this opportunity to sell a premium edition for lots of extra margin profit.

Throwaway account because I'm currently in the middle of being laid off ("redundancy" in UK).

I thought I always had that somewhat-cynical outlook by default, coming from a leftist family; but still, the unfairness of this process (first time for me in 20 years of work) boils my blood. Metrics massaged to target this and that, backstabbing, disrespecting people who built the company... all that will forever scar the company, no matter what. Your best and brightest don't want to live in fear, once you scare them like this they will leave.

I don't understand why companies with troubled books don't just spin off the departments they want to cut: give people a chance to fend by themselves, keeping teams together and offloading risk without losing knowledge and propagating fear.

Thanks. If they're not using the temporary cookies folder, I'm curious how Facebook shows ads based on incognito browsing. Some form of device fingerprinting?
To get decent anagram lengths and complexity, implement the numbers as a dict of repetitions of primes, and implement the multiplication by summing the repetitions. ;-)
Tesla used to make many millions of tubes per year. There must be many companies that bought their machines + many more still collect dust somewhere. Even that nixie tubes guy mentioned buying tons of equipment and reselling those.
The Bullish Case for Bitcoin
Agreed. I once got a call out of the blue that I was being laid off. I had always associated stability with success: as long as I was doing a good job, my job would be secure. That was not the case.

It was purely a business decision for them, but I left dazed and wondering what to do. I had always planned job changes on my terms. But it was also freeing in that I now could find opportunities I would've missed. I'm much happier where I am now.
> Senior positions take longer than junior. There may be other factors in any individual case, but just as a general rule, the more experience you have, the longer it takes to get hired. This may relate to...

I recently read a thread on Reddit with people making the exact opposite complaint -- that senior developers just didn't understand how hard it is to find a junior position now.
You're not alone. Money management is taught to depressingly few people in this country. If you're new to having significant amounts of disposable income (congratulations!), here are my thoughts:

1) Take a little time and write down what your values are. There are lots of things you could do with money. You could invest it to retire early. You could invest it in yourself in any number of ways (education, exercise, therapy, whatever is important to you). You could use it to provide opportunity to others. You could spend it on hookers and blow. All sorts of things. Decide which ones are most important to you and what proportion of your disposable income you want to allocate to each.

2) Make a budget. Start with the things you really need. How much do you need every month for housing and utilities? How much for food? How much do you need to spend on clothing in an average year just to keep yourself warm and dress appropriately for your workplace? On health insurance? How much do you need to set aside in case your car breaks down or you break a bone and need bunch of medical care?

3) Add a buffer to your budget for the unexpected (and the things you forgot when making the initial budget - you can update the budget again next year); and another smaller buffer to indulge yourself a little (a beer with friends after work once a week) but not a lot (table service at a schmancy nightclub every Friday and Saturday). Stick to your budget.

4) Look at what's left over. Save up until you have a rainy day fund that can cover at least 3 months' worth of expenses in case of unemployment.

5) While you're saving this rainy day fund, read up a bit on money management and about various investment vehicles. Early retirement websites are a great resource for this. I'd advise against treating their recommendations as gospel; but they typically will introduce you to a lot of important concepts and have references to tons of great learning resources.

6) Once you have your rainy day fund, your disposable income is available to allocate to the various purposes you defined in your list of values.

You have an advantage here in that you already know how to live on relatively little, and you know the difference between needs and wants. That allows you to focus on spending your money in ways that reflect what you truly value, rather than just on whatever new shiny you decide you "need" just because you want it.
Ouch, that would suck. Thanks for the heads-up.
Once you get to the age where they will discriminate (40+, in general), you're probably better off running your own company or at least doing high value consulting. And by high value, I mean _value_ (could be money, could be freedom of schedule, technologies, etc.)

The last two corporate jobs I had, the companies found me. The few clients I've had as a consultant came to me. Being visible and having a little network is important, and of course having the current popular technologies is important.

But really, doing homework, doing dances, building PoCs, and all that other bullshit is... just bullshit. If a company is going to make you jump through tons of hoops or begin taking advantage of you before you've even gotten the job, they can just fuck off and hire the kind of person they deserve (who will probably fit better into their organization anyway!)

Keep in mind, even if the company has some really awesome people, you're still just useful while you fit. If their budget changes, or god forbid they're a public company and are beholden to the almighty quarterly earnings per share report, then you can be gone a week after you're hired with little more than a "oh we're really sorry". That last bit is one really awesome reason to work in countries that still have some sense of labor power. I think Germany is really good on this, but my experience in Netherlands was... profitable in that regard. Once you have a permanent contract, firing you typically means handing you enough cash to sustain you for many months. I'm not sure what the potential exit compensation is if you're fired due to poor performance, but if they're just downsizing you'll get a nice goodbye check.

The only way companies will ever change their behavior is if the workers stop bowing and begging. This is your life; and if you're truly investing your creativity and giving your all, it should only be for a company halfway worthy. Most companies are not, and you can tell from the interview process. Hell, if you look at enough job reqs you can start to tell just from the req.
I think it's time the Luddites just threw their phones in the trash. Don't get a flip phone. Don't use a telephone either. Cut off the electricity, sell your car and give your TV to a friend.

Or, keep pretending that the latest technological innovation is the one that's causing all the problems.
To comment on one of the sentiments in the last paragraph. I often find myself wondering about the people doing the bidding above them where they are the last one compensated on a middle-upper class level before the VP or CEO or whoever that makes the 100X worker salary. What motivates that person? I’m sure they are compensated very well but at an exponentially lower rate than the will they are serving.
The bit about energy sources is true, though a little spun. It's true that oil is gone. Coal is still plentiful, even at the surface. And the "hole" in industrial development where we depended on oil specifically has been less than 100 years or so, and already seems to be reaching its end. It's not impossible to imagine a future society skipping liquid fuels (and most of aviation) and still making its way to the renewable revolution.

> All the easy mining, is gone.

This bit is wrong, though. You can literally walk through a demolition site and pick up rebar and aluminum by the ton. Access to a single ancient reactor would give you the equivalent of decades of mining from any single uranium site. All our city building has had the effect of concentrating easily exploitable "ore" resources, not depleting them.
I guess this is the benefit of using a recruiter... I don't think I applied to 10 jobs in my last search before finding one.
You should never expect to find out why you didn't get hired somewhere. But the answer is always one of the following:

- someone else was a better fit (tech, culture, attitude, etc)

- you're actually truly incompetent

- the interviewers are morons

99% of the time, it's that someone else was a better fit.
You can generate as many certificates as you want for a given name. There is no master list of all the live certificates out there and there are no checks for existing certificates when generating new ones (otherwise we'd never be able to renew certs until the old ones expire, resulting in downtime).
Yes, this is a chicken and egg problem for us. But our goal is to bring as many influencers to the platform. Influencers don't need to be fully invested if there aren't businesses, but we email every influencer on the platform anytime a new request has been created.

A feature phone would be fine, but I'm too attached to always having a camera on me. And as far as I know, feature phones generally have crap cameras.

We’re talking about civil war or unrest within its own territory, such as to potentially justify domestic gun ownership for personal defence. That’s the topic of the article, and the subject of the discussion here. In 1800 the US hadn’t even completed the Louisiana Purchase, and had many border and internal conflicts in its near future. The whole of the 19th century was a turbulent time throughout much of the Union.

Birth control is not 100%. Partners that seem stable prior to a pregnancy suddenly turn violent. Jobs are lost. Your mom who would have helped if you are a single mom, dies. Life threatening illnesses happens. The condition of being pregnancy itself may be trying to kill you. The wanted fetus suffers a condition that will require a lifetime of care you know you will never be able to afford in these rough United States of America. You already have 4 kids and the husband will not take no for an answer and if you have a 5th you will go jump off a bridge.

You willfully ignore the complexities of life.

> Or advertising in those places has relatively little impact on image and produced little controversy compared to the scale of audience it gives access to.

That's true of anything on youtube.

> I think Laura Ingraham is pretty good recent evidence that advertisers do respond to controversy in the TV advertising market.

No. That proves my point. The only reason some advertisers pulled their ads from her show is because of outside pressure ( AKA other news organizations and NGOs putting pressure on them ).

As I said, advertisers don't care about content. They care about reach. Saudis can kill gays and ban women from driving. The chinese can pollute and steal prisoners organs. CNN/Foxnews and the rest of the news media can clickbait dead children for ratings. Advertisers are willing to advertise in saudi arabia, china, CNN, etc.

As I said, from 2011 to 2016, advertisers were happy as clams to advertisers on youtube. What changed? The only thing that changed is that large media companies decided to attack youtube and advertisers in order to leech more money for themselves.

Everyone is dirty. It's business. There is no such thing as morality. Do you think advertisers peddling for oil companies or soda companies are moral? Do you think propagandists like CNN/Foxnews/NYTimes/Washingtonpost/etc are moral? Do you think youtube/google/alphabet is moral? Of course not.

It's simply a matter of who has to power to push whom around. The tech industry is too young, too divided and too weak to push back against a media war against them.
