I have mugshots on that site for charges that were DROPPED. I HAVE PROOF OF INNOCENCE. I even have my paperwork stating that the charges WILL NOT BE REFILED. I emailed the administrators at mugshots.com and they refused to remove them without first paying a fee. This is exploitative. They now won't even allow me to pay the fee since I "threatened" them (with a lawsuit).

Don't feel bad for these guys.
check out the new impressive built-in parallel features in Fortran 2018 here: https://goo.gl/ZbH4t7
GFortran 8.1 has already implemented the majority of it, and Intel is already adding the new features to their new Intel Fortran 2019. I don't know of any other mainstream language at the moment, that has native shared- and distributed-memory parallelism capabilities based on one-sided communications without recourse to the complex ugly out-of-language MPI library calls.
Three of them.
... but you don't have 10.* to yourself.

I've seen many cases where companies were bought, merged, or linked to other companies and had to put complicated NATs in place to translate org A's 10.* addresses to/from org B's overlapping 10.* addresses.

Then you have the problem of connecting to a VPN for 10.10.0.0/16 from a coffee shop with 10.10.0.1 as its router.
Sure, the employer (maybe) can’t test for IQ it themselves—but why not have a public policy of “appreciating” if people bring you a credential from an external IQ testing firm? (I.e. the sort of formal testing MENSA does, but without the social club.)

There's a growing consensus among cryptography engineers (by no means all of them, but a pretty significant set of them) that cryptographic agility in protocols is a design mistake.

That doesn't mean that we should assume modern primitives and constructions are unbreakable (though the trend has been for protocol designers to seriously overestimate the likelihood of _any_ primitive being broken).

What it means is that instead of designing and implementing elaborate handshake mechanisms, which inevitably succumb to downgrade attack bugs or, often, worse things, we should version entire protocols.

So obviously, if the ChaPoly stack is broken at some point, people will need to update WireGuard (just like they update OpenVPN when TLS bugs are discovered). But they protocol doesn't need to account for anything more than the fact that it might someday be replaced with a different protocol using different primitives.

The "agility" protocol designers are looking for has probably, historically, been implemented at the wrong layer. As usual, the closer something is to policy or prognostication, the further up the stack it should go. TLS bakes this stuff into the transport layer, which has hamstrung us and, ironically, not actually done much to protect us against vulnerabilities. WireGuard makes a different, better decision.

There's no tradeoff here; this decision is by itself a reason to adopt WireGuard.
>Airliners, satellites, rockets and cars all, by necessity, run extremely thin stacks consisting almost entirely of C (though some of us are starting the push for Rust). You can't just Python your way to glory in a fly-by-wire controller because that's how you get people killed.

A friend mentioned to me that Spire is doing satellite control software in Python. Presumably it's higher quality than your average python project since you can't wipe it and provision a new one on a fresh satellite when something goes wrong.
If they are willing to remove them, why bother making them public in the first place?
The point is to encourage legislation. So happily shut down on a pile of money.
I quite like the clarity of using link-local addresses within IPv6 addressing, along with scoped multicast. Replacing the functional of ARP from within the protocol (as opposed to ARP itself, which operates as a sibling to IPv4 with its own Ethertype) is quite elegant. DHCPv6 operating without the hack of using destination 255.255.255.255 and source 0.0.0.0 addresses, and thus without requiring special OS level privileges, also feels like a nice simplification.
I don't feel bad for them at all. Clearly it's a racket. My comment was that I don't think the government charging a fee is a similar situation.
Seconding this. It can be hard for high achieving individuals to therapy. Many people have been able to power through life through their intellect, resilience, charisma, or whatever else they have going for them. At some point, that might not work anymore. A licensed mental health professional will help someone work through what is going on in their life. Find someone you are able to connect with and go from there.
I think that Snowden comment fits here:

10.* is private. His IPv6-only project was probably using the Internet, so his computing farm at point A could talk with his high performance cluster at point B without a tunnel.

Sovereignty has only the bounds adopted by the sovereign, and US states are sovereign (but, in addition to those in their own law, have adopted, by ratification, any limits on states in the US Constitution, including those in valid federal laws under the Constitution.)

Yes, those of us that question and break rules can optimize for what is actually desired vs what is 'proscribed' and have better outcomes.

But many/most people rather just follow the rules/directions in the first place rather than break the rules or attempt to find optimal ways around them.

They didn't take action if I correctly understood the allegory. If an organisation is a person (my friend...), then individual workers are like neurons/brain regions. This internal video is analogous to a thought that may or may not be acted out by creating a product that impacts other people outside of the org.

I used eval as a workaround; autoexport does fs.readFile() on module’s filename and adds all lines marked with @export comment to exports. Eval is the only way to get a function value from other module, since functions are local to the context that is implicit and only accessible through eval-ing closure. That’s my code and my company, so I don’t push it to anyone now or in the future. I know how important antipatterns are in general.

Just in case you guys don't know, this is exactly how university works in a number of countries in Europe.

There are few problems, but they're minor compared to the American model imo.

As for people who don't get accepted, in a closed and healthy economy, there's literally never a shortage of jobs (at least pre-AI). There's always something that needs to be done and you can create training programs or job placements for it. Also there are many "technical schools" which offer sorter degrees or professional training.

With AI, jobs will eventually diminish, but UBI has many caveats, the most important being that it leaves (ex?)workers powerless. In order for them to maintain the right to basic income they need some kind of leverage to enforce it. My opinions is that if they don't own the machines that produce they won't manage to do it.

So far the only reason they weren't slaves (or dead) was that they could leverage the need for their labor. Now that it diminishes, they're left with nothing.
The New York Times may not be worth it anymore :-)

It annoys me how they conflate focused learning and investment returns. If they said "Cars may not be worth is anymore" because the best cars are beyond the reach of most people to afford and those people would be better off riding the bus. College is like this in other ways as well, when you don't have a car you are constrained to the jobs you can get that you can ride a bike to or take public transit to. When you don't have that third party accreditation of study in a subject you are constrained to jobs where companies are willing to train you through it. That is great if you didn't want to pay for college, it sucks if they only train you on their stuff, once again limiting your mobility.

College is an option generator. Just like a car is an option generator. More places you can choose to go from where you are. The more options you have, the higher the likelyhood that a good fit between you, your interests, and your life goals will be found.

Not having to buy IPv4 addresses. CG-NAT infrastructure expenses scale up with customer base. If most of their traffic is end to end IPv6 that's a savings. End point machines like cable modems, TV decoders, VoIP adapters/IP phones, all need their own IP address; service providers with more than 16.7 million managed devices attached need IPv6.

If your developers use Linux, they've already had a mature WireGuard implementation for months. It may even land in the mainline Linux kernel (I hope it does).

As a French - you can actually taste the difference between a 5$ and a 50$ wine, even despite the difference itaste. In France. Not in the US.

For some weird reason, the US wine is 100% posing, and statement about your social position. Almost no attention is given to the actual quality of the wine and a crapton of of 5$ wines taste significantly better than 10$-20$ or even 50$ bottles. In the same spirit, the "sommeliers" and wine vendors are eager to sell you the most expensive wine in their stock, not in discovering underappreciated wines.

Not surprising that no one develops a proper taste for wine here.

PS: And yes, don't chill reds. Ever. They are to be served at ~18C or ~65F. Otherwise, you won't be able to taste anything in them, even if they are good.

Given the examples in the article, they are clearly doing "business" in the state, and doing harm on citizens of the state. If they fail to show up in California court to defend themselves, that would lead to another charge. The state could make extradition requests, or arrest them if they ever show up in the state. It's possible that federal charges could be filed.
I agree with a few comments here about how the field seems to skew heavily towards the older range, but based on my job hunt in NYC there are very few jobs like this.

After a week and a half I have no interviews even though I have a few beefy side projects (embedded Linux system I designed myself), use both C and c++, heavily, contributed a bug fix to the Linux kernel, and even have 3 years experience at a company. To be fair, there are few jobs like this it seems on nyc (managed to find only ~25 on LinkedIn).

There are plenty of countries that do have MD programs that the United States recognizes, like Canada for instance. It's a political issue more than anything. If the medical licensing boards in multiple different countries could come together for some form of agreed licensing this could easily by possible.

Actually, that sounds like a perfectly reasonable solution to piggyback on the existing telecom infrastructure in a backwards-compatible way.

I think you just described a stepping-stone for moving from a system where humans burn a bunch of time negotiating deals to where deals are auto-negotiated on behalf of humans without having to build out a new protocol from scratch or run a new initiative through ANSI or W3C.

Neat. Beats the pants off the transition plan for IPv4 to IPv6 at least.
> Not to pick on them, but do we really need this many Art History Majors?

You cannot calculate how many art history majors the world needs. You just need to trust people to act vaguely in their own interest, and society's interest, most of the time and to trust that things will work out.

Consider the important exceptions to this approach, where we try to match the number of students to demand. You can sort of calculate how many doctors the world needs, since everything involved (cost of services, number of patients, number of doctors, demography, doctor salary, yadda yadda) is objectively measured. We still manage to get that wrong, and there's a shortage. (or is there?)

The notion that you're going to be able to somehow be able to determine the market demand for graduates of the kind of degree program where people will move into a wide variety of jobs, like art history for one, is pure fiction if we can't even get medicine right. Of course if you're going to form a dictatorship of some kind you're obligated to try, but it will be one of the many things about your dictatorship that does not work very well.

Unless you really love doing low-level stuff, I'd still probably recommend you don't though. As a career, it just doesn't give you the same opportunities.

Yes, there are jobs, but I doubt you'll find the scope for advancement, and mobility that being a skilled dev (with good bit manipulation/low level skills) would give you.

An SRE role at Google might be a good example of a position that would involve a good deal of low-level debugging, but is still paid well, looks great on a CV and could advance you to other (and equally interesting positions) easily.
If I create the same web site without the option of paying to have a mugshot taken down, is that legal? In general I think extortion should be defined as threatening to do something illegal unless paid.
I've had a few novels ghostwritten so these are my feelings.

Pros:

It'll get done faster than you doing it. The last novel I had ghostwritten was probably 10k words/week. When I write I churn out 500-1k/day and I don't write 5 days a week.

It'll probably be cheaper. Writing a 100k word book would take me ~100 hours. Getting one written is probably $~2k. On the high end that's $20/hr, which I can easily out earn via freelancing or time spent marketing existing books.

Cons:

It'll be close to your idea but it won't hit all the marks. I've got a grand world building idea. No matter what I present they'll probably miss some of it. Chances are I can go back and re-write/tweak some of it.

If you do a sequel the voice can change. The previous ghostwriter may not be available.

They can bail mid project. I've paid money to one for a book. They start and send a chapter or two. Then I never hear from them again. I can usually get a refund if it's an incomplete submission. But, it's a pain overall.

Quality is hit or miss. I've found some good ghostwriters for a good rate. I've found some terrible ones for 5x the price. Even if you get a sample it could be fake/from someone else. Or they could outsource it even further. I know someone who "Does ghostwriting" for 3-5c/word and they outsource everything to someone doing it for 1c/word. He runs it through one of the automated grammar checkers and passes it along.
> College graduates born poor earned on average only slightly more than did high school graduates born middle class. And over time, even this small “degree bonus” ebbed away, at least for men: By middle age, male college graduates raised in poverty were earning less than nondegree holders born into the middle class. The scholars conclude, “Individuals from poorer backgrounds may be encountering a glass ceiling that even a bachelor’s degree does not break.”

> The authors don’t speculate as to why this is the case, but it seems that students from poor backgrounds have less access to very high-income jobs in technology, finance and other fields.

Perhaps people born poor demand less money for their labor because if they're making more than their parents ever did they're more content with their current level of pay.
