So the guy actually in charge of the entire thing is somehow wrong, but Elon personally emailed exactly 1 person in charge of 1 team who said "keep working on it", which definitely justifies the entire surrounding PR bonanza and Musk personally showing up to the dive site to do... what exactly?

It'd odd that Musk's attempts to discredit the guy in charge of the entire of the operation is somehow not worth pointing out, who no doubt had input from multiple teams he was working close with. Musk then proceeded to release 3 messages between Musk and 1 person, specifically picked to continue this PR spree.

To reiterate, the guy in charge of the entire operation said the submarine wasn't going to work with their mission. Musk then proceeds to cherry pick exactly 1 email correspondence between him and 1 other person to invalidate the official's position on the matter (and the fact that the sub was in fact, never used). In Musk's magical bubble (as you can see from the Twitter replies), this is somehow both reasonable and enough to justify his ever continuing pop-sci PR spree.

After a certain point, you need to start questioning why he's always in these PR spats and why nothing substantial ever happens to actually validate Musk. I do not personally understand what level of sheer, unbridled optimism is required to look at what Musk is doing and go "Yeah, that's totally okay and noble!"

To end:

* Musk constantly tweeted/reported on his own team's developments throughout the entire process, even though basically nothing was actually happening.

* The guy in charge of the operation said the vehicle would not be used

* Musk show's up to the dive site for some selfies, talks with people while taking some extra selfies, and then immediately leaves.

* In a true display of ego, Musk proceeds to screenshot 1 email chain between him and 1 other person because he was factually called out on this matter.

* Musk fan boys across the internet praise him for doing all of the above and contributing exactly nothing.
> having any kind of free speech

Exaggerate much? Don't speak as a representative of your company. It's not that hard.

You can talk about anything else you like, but don't make people think it's coming from the company.

Free speech doesn't give you the right to put words in other peoples', or companies' mouths.
You never have an around 100% chance. You always have less. The chance of at least one out of ten making it if they have 10% chance each is: 1-0.9^10, that's two thirds.

In other words: In a society where 90% of children die and women have 10 births, one third of the mothers will lose all. All assuming the deaths are independent of course.

I think you're viewing this wrong. This wasn't a one-time $2M spend on saving 12 people, this was cashing in on an insurance policy where citizens of Thailand pay premiums in forms of taxes.

Failing to save these kids is the case you want to think about - that would be sending the message to the public that if your kid gets lost in the mountains we're not going to save them. Sure this particular "insurance claim" (in this impromptu parlance) was an expensive one, but most of the others aren't, and the thing about insurance is that it is there particularly when the costs are catastrophic.

Usability. 1Password on my Mac and iPhones with iCloud as backing storage “just works”, and I trust iCloud more than Dropbox for secure storage.

Disclaimer: Using 1Password 5, which was a one time payment.
They don’t store the password, they store the cyphertext where your single longer password is part of the key. If you wanted to do things that way yourself, my understanding is that you’d be just as secure if you stored the cypher text in a file on your computer.

Also these companies provide nice integrations with web browsers and OSes which makes using complicated passwords easier.

It’s true that a hacker with your master password would own the keys to your life, but that’s often true in general: despite repeated requests to not have a single password, most people have a one or just a few passwords they reuse everywhere. This is a better way because you can focus on remembering one big password, add 2FA, and have unique, complex passwords everywhere else.
> Also if I have a desk, I have enough space and power for a high end computer, a mobile computer unit that could convert into a phone would never compete in terms of power with a desktop (or even laptop).

It doesn't have to be an either/or. You can think of it as an "expansion bus" situation. You can have a bunch of compute power on the desk, but still a relatively "dumb" terminal. It can augment the mobile device from your pocket rather than being an entirely separate device.

An example would be how the Surface Book dGPU option has an extra GPU in the detachable keyboard. Attach the keyboard and you play some games you couldn't otherwise when detached. Sometimes you just use the power the mobile device itself carries; sometimes you increase its access to CPU/GPU cores as you have access to fixed resources such as work desks or home desks or cool hotel screens or what have you.

If Apple just wanted a password manager for their ecosystem, they already have one. iCloud does this. I'm very skeptical o the acquisition aspect to this story; cross-platform support, key-sharing, and enterprise management are probably useful features for Apple's employees but not particularly aligned with their consumer-facing service offering.

Is this much different than the iPad pro which sells the pen separately ? (it is included with the Surface).

I'm not disagreeing with your comment, I agree that if they advertised the bundled price and then calling out the opportunity to buy it without a keyboard as a lower price option would be a better way to market it, but is the unit 3 pieces? (pen/keyboard/display) 2 pieces (display/pen)? or one piece? (display).

I have both the Surface Pro and the iPad pro and find that both can be operated without the keyboard although windows applications often assume the keyboard is there. And while you can use your finger on the Surface display the stylus is much more accurate.

Bottom line seems to be that Microsoft and Apple are going head to head with these things and Microsoft didn't have a 10" version. I was disappointed in the lack of LTE availability at release.
Cost of hosting the Meta Discourse forum on AWS
You can self-host Fathom, I do.

It's very basic compared to Piwik, but it runs on PostgreSQL, my DB of choice, and it's written in Go, not PHP, which means it has higher performance and is more secure.
I agree that 1Password on Windows has issues, but I feel like the developers got screwed by Microsoft on this one: they went all in on a UWP version, then had to throw all that out and basically start from square one when it became clear that UWP was a dead end. So I cut them some slack on that score. 1Password for Windows is improving, it's just taking a while (version 7 is a big step up, for example)
I tried to use it, but the syntax is way more complicated than it needs to be to retrieve a simple password. After 10 minutes of trying to figure it out I gave up and just used pass instead.

If anyone knows how to use it to retrieve passwords / copy them to the clipboard, I'm curious because we use it at work.

edit: It looks like it might be possible [0], but it requires a long command or a command alias. The lack of tab completion is kind of problematic though.

I am huge fan of Hugo and I use it for my personal blog and some minor websites.

Has anyone used Hugo for something other than a blog? I am looking for some stories like using Hugo as a REST-API or anything other more creative similar to this:

If you are able to remember and type different passwords that encode 96-128 bits of entropy for all your services, logins and passphrase needs, without re-using a password or elements of it; then sure: it might be "more" secure to just use passwords.

I haven't looked too closely at 1password - but with for example bitwarden the master password is used via kdf to encrypt all data client side. If you don't self-host - you're still just a single service away from compromise (an attacker could log the passphrase in a compromised client) - but on balance I'd say it's more secure than trying to memorize dozens or more strong passwords.
In general, I'm pretty happy about this. The more I used Atomic Host, the more I liked it. While it was a pretty dramatic departure from Fedora's dnf/rpm world, I really like how rpm-ostree handled the Atomic update/rollback stuff. I thought it was a nice middle ground between a traditional Linux distro and Container Linux's "just slap a new image down to disk for upgrades". I think there's a time and place for both and Atomic Host had a nice merging. Container Linux with the rpm-ostree tooling should be really nice for orgs that want to customize their distributions.

I'm only a novice Ignition user though, so I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me what benefit it has over kickstart for provisioning nodes and clusters that makes Red Hat want to keep using it. Kickstart clearly has way more configurability for deciding how you want the host to be provisioned (at the expense of added complexity), so the only place I see Ignition adding value is that it's a really easy way to group nodes and assign roles by hostname, like a lightweight Cobbler install or something. Am I missing something else?

Well, this is what she said(during the incident, she's said much worse in other cases), do you still think she didn't say anything offensive or harmful?

He's a risk taker with Unity/Ubuntu Phone/other things that didn't pan out, and people treat it like Google abandoning their products. Canonical has money, but not Google money.

People also get overly bent out of shape for having Amazon search integration with the desktop at one point, which I did not like, but it had a clear, functional way to disable that function.

At least, those are my theories.
Not all of these countries are "non-capitalist." This is a list of parties that are anti-capitalist/communist, some with only one or two seats in their country's parliament.

The introduction to the article even makes this clear:

> Of the 66 states listed here, 9 of them are republics ruled by a socialist, communist or anticapitalist party, five of them are official socialist states ruled by a communist party, of them four of them espouse Marxism–Leninism (China, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam) while the fifth (North Korea) espouses Juche.

You are probably looking for the current article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_state#List_of_curren..., or the historical article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_socialist_states.
They seemed to just not be able to grasp the asynchronous nature.

Mostly confusion between calling a function and passing the result as a parameter and passing a reference to that function. But also struggling with the recursive nature of calling a function from inside of itself.

I should also say it wasn't the syntax or JS/jQuery-specific aspects of it that were the problem. Most couldn't explain in English/pseudocode what their strategy for solving the problem would be.
> 2. you actually don't care about schema that much (e.g. logs)

I would argue that this is one of the most overlooked cases _for_ schemas, because it's where schemas are the most complex and also where traditionally we've had few options for really representing that complexity.

This is something I've tried to change with the hobbes project, where we have a small header-only lib to efficiently record "log data" with inferred schemas into shared memory:

https://github.com/Morgan-Stanley/hobbes#storage

Basically, in this view, the type for recorded log data is a variant over all possible log statements in an application. This is a very large and complex type, but in memory or on disk it's a simple representation -- a number for the constructor ID of the variant, and then the payload type that corresponds to that constructor.

Then there's quite a lot that we build on top of that, but as a basic primitive I think that logging is actually a great case for "extreme schemas" rather than throwing out schemas entirely.
I have a new hypothesis I'm terming "sublimation of criticism." This is likely not original since this isn't my field, but here goes.

The campaign to exterminate any alternative political discourse in the West has been so successful that it's now very hard to even talk about any alternative to state corporatist capitalism. This system has many downsides and generates many negative externalities and these are clearly visible to many people, but since the system can't be directly criticized people try to pin its shortcomings on other things like "technology" (an absurdly general term) or thrash around chasing conspiracy ghosts. It's a kind of philosophical scapegoating and fantasizing as a substitute for actual directed criticism.

In other words the effectively prohibited criticism of the system sublimes into other areas.

Maybe state corporatist capitalism destroys people and places. Try that.

I wonder if this phenomenon was common in the late USSR?

I hear what you're saying about banks stifling innovation. I think current blockchain alternatives highlight the tradeoffs, though.

I think risk is associated with stores of value. "I rob banks because that's where the money is." So we move the stores of value from banks to blockchain exchanges and hot wallets, and the risk moves accordingly. Now, instead of the risk being borne by organizations with decades or centuries of experience mitigating it, backed by the Fed, it's borne by people who barely understand the wallet software they downloaded, and Magic: The Gathering card traders who aren't as smart as they thought they were, and people who are absolutely definitely sure that smart contra--oops, let's just "fix" that.

So what you describe as centralized stores of trust stifling innovation can also be described as centralized stores of risk mitigating loss. And I think that's pretty much what we've seen so far.

The Nazi camps pertaining to the Holocaust are correctly called extermination camps, not concentration camps. Although e.g. Auschwitz is commonly referred to as a concentration camp, this is a euphemism, and the term is not considered correct by anyone writing seriously about the Holocaust.

Downloading videos from YouTube is a violation of their policy, and there is no inherent way to do this from their interface. YouTube (or other video streaming services) are for viewing purposes only, not distribution.

I realize perhaps the intention of uploading to YouTube was more to advertise this project, rather than actually archiving it.

Distribution should be done via a website with links to files, e.g. ESO's gigapixel mosaic of the central parts of the Milky Way, a full size of 24.6 GiB [1]

"A degree isn't worth anything, but you have to have one to be able to say that."

I went back and got my CS degree after 10 years of programming experience.

From what I've seen, degrees don't matter when the economy is good (as it appears to be at the moment), but the lack of a degree can become a "reason" to lay off, not to hire, or to assign to drudgework projects, when the economy is bad.

This also requires guessing what the economy will be like when you expect to get out, because it's hard to get a good job as a new graduate when times are bad as well.

Ideally, you want your degree and a couple of years of new, full-time, experience before the next recession. Your pre-college experience will become nearly worthless during the 4+ years you're "away" from day-to-day production programming.

What you learn in college is focused on theory, so won't generally be on cutting-edge languages, libraries, and APIs, or the sorts of equipment that will become available out in the world in the interim (Is cloud computing anything more than a specialty elective class yet?).

Longer term, having the piece of paper will show employers that you can stick to something for the years needed to complete it, and you'll vaguely-but-well-enough remember the algorithms that you'll call as existing libraries rather than ever hand-coding again, but mostly your degree will be a check in the box.

Will your dream job require that box to be checked?

Just my opinion, but from having worked both without and with a degree. All-in-all, I'm glad I have the degree, but it took several more years than I originally anticipated to catch up and surpass where I feel I would have been without it.
Freedom of speech means you can't be arrested for saying something, not that a business that employs you can't fire you for saying something the disagree with. When A&E retaliated against the duck dynasty guy for saying gay people are gross I was on their side too.
For years I used windows and Mac side by side and my impressions was always that windows was less refined but perfectly solid and slightly faster at first with a tendency to slow down over time and much better for games and 3d. For the last four years I’ve been Mac only but recently got two new windows laptops for testing. I don’t know what’s going on with windows. It’s far worse than it used to be. The UI is horribly inconsistent. Performance is randomly sluggish. The built in browser is unbearable. And even games don’t seem to run well.

The single worst thing is the way windows trackpads work. It feels like time traveling to 1997.
In the article Price states this was the first time the company talked to her about her twitter account - I'm willing to believe that. I think she's overly dramatic, but not a liar.
So, on one hand, I agree, password managers/FIDO should basically be part of every OS/browser and tech companies should come together to make it all interop seamlessly for the good of society.

On the other hand, the biggest barrier to adoption that I have found is people losing their master password. And supporting good account recovery is difficult and expensive. A subscription service that actually had a real way of validating identity for account recovery could be something worth paying for, for people who are not very tech savvy.

Maybe we can come up with a good account recovery service without dedicated customer support folks, but the moment you have a bad experience, you're probably going to go back to Password123.
I have no way to audit the code of an open-source password manager either, because I'm not a security/encryption expert. So either way I have to trust in third-party auditors, and 1Password has been audited and found secure.
