They might have a copy of the signed certificate that the CA sent you via e-mail, but they certainly should not have a copy of the private key that goes along with it (unless you did something stupid like let someone else generate the private key for you).

Why is Elon Musk raging at “big media”? He’s finally being called on his tales
Beautifully put. We bootstrapped a global inter-network pretty far on the basis of the "Personal Computer" paradigm, but are running into the limits of that at every level.

Servers and server farms comprised of PCs are horribly complex to scale in a reliable way, and the programming models force programmers to have to either reason about complex "distributed computing" problems, or externalize state into a scalable "database" that has already thought about the problem.

End-user PCs act as Frankenstein contraptions, both containing private data for some applications, and containing no data for others. In the former case, the OS ABIs and application paradigms do not treat data security and privacy as a first-class concern, so ransomware and malware abounds. In the latter case, our PCs are brain-dead for most daily productivity without being tethered to a "cloud" (aka Mainframe) run by companies whose sole investor remit is to monetize our data and/or our interactions with other people via their free applications.

A revolution in computing is in the offing: one that is centered around users, their data, and their interactions with each other. Information is the privileged and important asset; not the APIs of the hardware that runs the compute. The topology of human interaction and human groups around that information system is far, far more important than the hardware network topology, which should be an irrelevant detail of routing.

Every output an input.

Transporting a listed programmer out of the country violates our arms export treaty.

It's not only limited manuverability, is the time window to see something that small and react at that speed. In an airliner at 180kts is like 5-7 seconds, you see a bird, confirm that is in a collision path and you correct you trajectory.
At 400kts it's maybe 2-3 seconds to do all that.

You need to be looking forward to have time enough, but you need to look elsewhere sometimes(instruments, to the sides, etc..). So it's possible to crash with something you didn't see comming if it's small.

I like how you put it. Isn't this quite close to what Alan Kay's group is doing? I'm a bit sad that he doesn't embrace open development more, I feel we only ever get to see some side products like a parser / DSL framework, instead of seeing the whole picture, which is what I'm actually after.

Seriously? So you're basing front end technology changes based on stars on Github?

Also I think it's wrong to say that front end technologies have "changed." It's just people have discovered better or just different ways of building things and that should be okay.

I agree with the portion how it can be overwhelming to a junior developer, but it is also easier in some ways. In truth, if you are a junior developer (or hell any developer really), your focus should be less on choosing the right technology and more on understanding what technologies fit what needs.

Yes, I agree. Its core is quite powerful - like a way more powerful version of MS Access from back in the 80s.

I taught high school for almost 10 years and I agree with both of you. You don't have to be a genius, some of the best Algebra 1 teachers I worked with couldn't teach calculus because they didn't understand it. Getting the students to understand the material is generally the easy part, their brains are highly receptive. If a student wants to learn the subject, you can basically just sit there and answer their questions. Engaging and motivating them to want to do it is the part that takes a lifetime to master.

Tlo - the question was to explain YOUR experience with either or both. I read both articles myself already.
In earnings calls, management already generally reads off scripts and won't answer anything they didn't prepare for (except for some smaller companies, e.g. Tesla recently). They know that transcripts are available and one wrong word could cause investors to panic. Using machine learning won't really change much there. Maybe picking up on signals humans can't hear (e.g. confidence in voice) but texts are already overanalyzed.
I work in a team of 15 people where our last offsite was planned mostly on a single Google Docs document where we all edited sections, marked checklists, added comments at the same time. The other day I was in our company flat that doubles as occasional office, and three people in the flat and one remote all edited the same document at the same time. This is business as usual for us.

We'd still structure, delegate and spread things out across time and space, but why should we need to do it in separate documents? It adds effort to copy and merge things and shift things around. Sometimes one person writes a part and passes it off to another person (or three) to proofread and edit, and they may move paragraphs around, or copy in paragraphs from another section.
Re: 3)

Or just a version of outlook that has a usable search function. As much as I don't like being dependent on Google, at least I know that I find all emails I'm looking for in Gmail. That's definitely not the case for Outlook, even recent emails can be very hard to find (we're at the newest Office version at my job).
On the email issue, I once talked to Steve (back when he was still the primary developer) about the issue, and he seemed genuinely sad about people signing up without emails mostly because people would forget their password and then couldn't log back in, and not for any nefarious purpose.

Of course, now that reddit is bigger than Jesus, there probably are nefarious privacy-destroying forces at work, but even more than a decade ago, there were totally innocent reasons for reddit to want an email address when you signed up. I think it says something good that you can still create an account without one (I require a valid non-temporary email on all of my own sites, mostly for spam reduction, even though I very much value/respect privacy and never sell any info we collect on our sites).
There have been attempts at rethinking it though; noSQL was the buzzword of a couple of years ago, and even nowdays there's mature tools like Firebase that allow you to store and retrieve data much more directly than e.g. SQL. The challenge in nosql storage is of course data migrations and whatnot. But yeah, in theory you can just open up a MongoDB instance to your front-end and not have to bother with SQL or much of a back-end.

And your last comment doesn't make much sense tbf; the big frameworks, most notably Angular and React (and its ecosystem) were both designed to be great front-end technologies.
Most well educated people I think could teach at least one subject

And in essence you have hit on the problem. Everybody thinks they can be a teacher. And for some value of $teacher they can, but it's hard to be really good.

You might watch LeBron James play basketball and think "I can do that," go out on the court and take a few shots, and think you're pretty good. But you're likely not.

This is why assessing teachers is soooooo important. We need reliable, verifiable ways to separate the good from the bad.

there's still lot of churn coming from following a moving target.

like when ios made the top of the page untouchable least it pulled safari out of full screen, breaking the toolbar convention of the past two decades.

and when ios made the bottom of the page untouchable least it pulled safari out of fullscreen, breaking the bottom bar icon webapp did under the very apple guidelines > https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/b...

and when ios made the app sides unusable due to a varying notch, having a whole set of unstandard properties you have to handle to manage correctly being into safari on a iphone x

if we had companies following standard decently and a linear, planned grow instead of the organic mess we're into, it'd be far easier to produce building blocks that work in a stable manner over time.

we're better today than in netscape days, but marginally. as complexity increase the cost of this constant churn does too and the saving from better framework are not quite enough to offset the constant fads that come and go.

I think the idea was good, but it was simultaneously over-engineered and under-engineered. Over-engineered in that it tried to do too much in too complicated ways. Under-engineered in that they didn't then invest enough in evolving the technical solutions into something more reasonable.

I'd like to see someone try to simplify it into a more workable starting point.
Sentiment analysis was a big topic and is still being used. But results are very specific. Most investors won't tweet while they're losing money so the short term information gain is small.

Where it can help is to determine the state of the economy. Same as with image recognition for satellite pictures (traffic patterns, footfall at stores), those indicators can give you a faster idea if something's going wrong with the economy than classical indicators. But I have yet to see an accurate one.

There have been decades of attempts at databases with a different model than relational and we have seen what happened.
The reality is that a relational model is very well suited for general purpose databases. For specific needs you can use timeseries databases or key/value store, but at this point I seriously doubt that the Nth attempt of killing the relational model will succeed.
And honestly I prefer an enforced relational schema rather than an ungodly mess of schemaless documents.

I think the stars were mainly to get some kind of data, given how it's hard to get real live data.

The article itself resonates with a non-data-powered feeling I've had for years. The front-end change meme is from a few years ago, during the highly unstable period shortly after Angular and (with it) single-page applications rose up, then suddenly Angular 2 was announced (which made everyone feel like their investment and commitment to Angular 1 was a wasted effort), React climbed up and got a few alternative implementations, React state management got a couple of alternatives (and a lot of thought went into those; I see that era as more of a philosophical era), and there was some drama on both the Angular and React side, causing people to split off and do things like create a new programming languages (Atscript), Angular the good parts (Aurelia), and (a bit late to the party), Vue.

I sure hope that wasn't your answer. Writing a technical blog can also be about sharing what you know or participating in a greater community.
