Didn't become rich? He said he's worth about $100 million. Maybe less than expected for the founder of $5 trillion investment firm, but he's most certainly "rich". Also, almost no employees? According to Wikipedia they have over 16k employees. And I don't know how you know their cash flow, considering they're privately held and that information is not out there, but their AUM is over $5 trillion so it's hard to believe they'd have any sort of cash flow issues.
This is kind of a dumb article, I grew up on the Upper East Side in the 80s/90s and there was certainly plenty of construction noise.

Car alarms were way more of a nuisance back then as well...Darrell Issa's voice booming "please step away from the car" every 15 minutes from some dickhead's souped-up and window-tinted Lexus.

Perhaps, but is Anubis' scales, the good is weighed against the evil that a man has done. Cannot the engineer be culpable for facilitating a crime, and yet be also culpable for improving the lives of many thousands of others, and in balance the good outweighs the bad? Culpability is not an absolute. The engineer may be culpable, but how culpable? Relative to the culpability of the one who held the knife? Relative to the man's parents who suspected his intent but failed to stop him? Relative to a society which has decided that it needn't guarantee access to mental health care that the man required? Culpability is distributed, and it isn't all or nothing.

I'm assuming that practically everybody who is a developer on ssh-keygen knows about this. This is not a bug, right?

It's basically bad usability, where the default is unsafe, and in order to make it safe, you have to know what you're doing. Or is it like the author writes in 'TFA' that "we're stuck with it", because it used to be a default in OpenSSL?

Some people will say, "if you're using ssh-keygen we can expect that you know what you're doing". But this is a wrong assumption that gets people into trouble. I'd even say a minority of people who invoke ssh-keygen really know what's going on in detail and what providing a flag like "-t ed25519" actually does. I certainly don't, and I've had to generate quite a few ssh keys so far.
How does it "easily beat" a CA? It's still a long-held credential that you now have to manage across a fleet instead of a single SSH CA. You can get that short-term credential via a long-held key; that long-held key can even live on a Yubikey if you use U2F/WebAuthn. You get all of the security and usability benefits of U2F/WebAuthn as well as the off-boarding/on-boarding/compliance benefits of tying everything to SSO as well as the audit benefits of an SSH CA.
of course it is but that's also a recipe for struggling to get by. if you don't master time management and money management your sunk on your own.
Or, because like most professionals, we understand certain tools are better than others at specific tasks, even when there's specific tools that do both things equally well. There can be an option that's preferred even when it's "only" good at one of the things you need.
If inequality is your concern, guaranteeing that everyone sit in gridlock together is about the worst possible way you could go about it. Taxing people who want to drive and using that money on public transportation is an obviously more effective way of addressing "economic asymmetry", particularly in NYC where driving is already not the norm. Driving isn't a right, especially not in NYC. You could apply your logic to anything and get the same result: scarcity.
This is an article about a Chinese spy, dated yesterday. There are many many like it. I don't care about the politician.

It's a direct refutation of your allegation that the "Chinese IP Theft Narrative" is contentious.
Long-time (former) resident of NYC here (25+yrs) -- almost everyone I knew in NYC was open to using mass public transit, which is pretty impressive compared to what I heard in other cities. So in theory a congestion tax would work well...except...the NYC subway system has deteriorated precipitously over the past 4 years to the extent where you almost have to drive, especially on nights/weekends/evenings

I'd support a congestion tax if there was a way to avoid cars (in fact, i dislike both the concept and the task of driving)...but a congestion tax is just a regressive exclusion tax if mass transit does not work. In NYC mass transit does-not-work on weekends/evenings/nights.

Those not familiar with the decline of NYC transit can read this:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/18/nyregion/new-york-subway-...

Here is a real example with evidence from two weekends ago when I was in NYC:

PICTURE EVIDENCE: https://imgur.com/a/p4JCaPP

EVIDENCE NOTE 1: Monitor claiming F trains would arrive

EVIDENCE NOTE 2: Sign contradicting what monitor says

EVIDENCE NOTE 3: Monitor and Sign side-by-side

I used the MTA Subway Time app and it also claimed F trains were on their way, these were obviously fake schedule data rather than real prospective arrivals data. So if you used the MTA Subway Time, you'd wait forever. This also suggests to me that perhaps some of the historical on-time uptime/arrival stats are fake as well.

Now, given this level of dysfunction...would you risk a subway ride or just take a car/uber/lyft?

I mean, "ex falso quodlibet" - from wrong (assumptions) follow arbitrary (conclusions). "Zero is ..." is a contradiction, whatever predicate follows it.

In CS, null is false, indeed. Hence I'd rather use at least one underspecified symbol, say 1, instead of to construct the initial element of sets.

I notice the usual undertone here that universal free speech is an inherently good thing. While I personally believe that wholeheartedly, I've spoken with a non-negligable number of students who've come to the conclusion that free speech is not an inherent right shared by everyone, and that they are justified in trying to quash the free speech of those they disagree with.

The dispute over campus free speech isn't going to go anywhere until it's acknowledged that not everyone wants free speech.

Me.

I currently maintain a 2.3x bodyweight deadlift and 1.5x bench press while working a relatively tame & laid-back salaried dev job.

Can't do IF (multi-day, anyways) without losing lean mass anymore. Used to be able to until I started plateauing on my lifts.

My guess is as you gain more and more lean muscle mass, there's some arbitrary threshold (which differs person to person) at which your TDEE begins to exceed viable intake within a limited timeframe.

I specify "viable intake" because your body's nutrient uptake rate per hour has some given limit - anything over that limit usually just gets pooped out later.

Restricting timeframe for eating during the day (break my fast after work) seems to work out okay though.
Familiar! Some of it, at least.

Asking the "wrong" people out in middle school ('90s) sure was a fast track to being an outcast. Paradoxically, the rising positive presence of LGBTQ+ people in media in the '90s made things worse. People were on the lookout for us!

I don't know if it was worse than the '80s where our presence in the media was almost universally negative.

Later, I found Twitter, and met a friend (also bi) who had lived mere miles away all my life. We probably never would have met without the internet. Having backup when we hang out has actually made me more social because I'm not worried about being alone up against a crowd who decides it's time to make an example of someone.
Had to quit WoW. Was fun but took way too much of my life away.
There was a related discussion here a few months ago about the difficulty of making friends after a certain age (40?).
Here's my take on it, from someone who immigrated to the US late in his 20s. My point of view is very biased towards the region I live in, which is much more educated and wealthy than most of the US.

Let's start with how kids grow up here since I think it affects their social life later in life. American parents are protective. Most kids, even in middle school, have very structured schedule where time with friends is usually not a priority like academics. Playdates are usually organized by the parents and they are usually short and not spontaneous. Kids who don't live in walkable urban areas with good public transit usually depend on their parents to drive them around to friends. I heard that in rural and poor areas it's even worse. People never go to each other house, instead they only meet at the Church.

Now let's talk about American adults. Americans seem to love communities. They are pretty involved in their communities which is great. However, they usually stay away from forming deep relationships and exposing themselves. Sometimes it feels like they don't want to be a burden on somebody else. Not sure exactly how to explain it. My impression is that many Americans have friends but usually not very close friends (at least based on my definition of close). Maybe the size of the country and the fact the people move often is also a factor.
I don't care, I said it tongue in cheek to illustrate how close minded many HNers are when it comes to health and how to improve one's own health without reliance on pharmaceuticals and other "modern medicine" inventions. Fasting is just one such example. I hope that by the time I reach 0 karma, fasting will be as mainstream as knowing you shouldn't be smoking.
People enjoy discussing potential solutions to problems and weighing the varying contrasting viewpoints presented in other comments.

This is a large community filled with engineers, researchers, and folk from all sorts of other interesting backgrounds who like to solve problems.

It's only natural that the comments on such an article would include such comments, so I guess my question is, why did you feel the need to post that valueless comment?

Did you think GP didn't know he has the freedom to move?

Anyways, as for the article, the huge influx of ride sharing vehicles has slowed traffic something like 15% in some parts of Manhattan. The trains are a disaster which they need to fix and expand.

I support taxing more heavily ride sharing services as they've already squeaked out of the medalion system and are clogging the roads. I'm not sure how you accomplish. Or limits to the numbers of cars riding around at any given time.

Expanding and fixing the MTA is a huge project that should be started immediately. Crippling the nations largest city with a terrible public transit option is death by a thousand cuts for a place like New York. Everytime someone can't get where they want or outright chooses not to the businesses they'd have visite suffer.

We should tackle this issue head on and from several angles to encourage the efficient transportation of citizens through the metropolis and allow them some solace at times.

Constructions a big one in terms of noise, it just goes on forever too. I'm not sure there's a way to solve that and the city needs a bit more construction to dampen housing prices. If there was a decent way to encourage actually affordable housing developments that'd be fantastic.

>Some campus free speech critics, I suspect, aren’t operating in good faith. For them, the entire debate is a way to attack universities as hopelessly and dangerously liberal — to undermine higher education for nakedly partisan reasons.

This is almost assuredly so. However, I find it curious that partisans would seek to attack an institution, unless the institution were itself seen as nonpartisan. And wonder whether there is any truth to that perception. What causes said perception?
You're overthinking this.

Pick one, put it in your diary, and go to it. No excuses.

In those 30 minutes of action, commit yourself to that future action. Make it easy, in those 30 minutes plan your outfit, how to get there, look up the venue on a map, plan how much cash you'll take or what cards or whatever. Whatever excuses you come up with usually, plan against them. The group will usually say how to find them in the bar or cafe or wherever, write it down.

Worst that can happen is you hate it and somehow make a fool of yourself. In front of people you will never ever see again, so who cares.

Reality is you'll be welcomed, and at least one person, if not many, will go out of their way to make sure you are included.

And even if your worst fear happened and it's a mini drama, you'll still get a win from going. You still get to feel great about trying.

And if it doesn't click or you don't like anyone, don't go to that one again. You can just never turn up again, without any consequence. You aren't obliged.

I think the explanation for most bad defaults in ssh is "redhat" which is kinda insane but I very much stay out of that sandbox. The default can't be changed until existing systems can read the new keys. So like 2028 or something.
I wonder how much the grid system affects noise transmission?

Being used to London, the first time I went to NYC I was surprised at how far you could see down the streets compared to London where at best it's a hundred metres or so before a turn (a few notable exceptions of course)

Do those long open spaces allow noise to travel further?

What makes them incomparable, in your view? The medium in which it's recorded? The ease with which it's recorded by Spotify? That the recording task is done in a different system than the client-server interaction? That Spotify has interactions with LOTS of people?

I get that they feel different, but every distinction I come up with feels like it either doesn't make sense applied uniformly. If I tracked songs in Excel, Spotify doesn't own that. If I automated tracking the songs I play, Spotify still doesn't own my recording. If I wrote down all my Spotify songs AND all my Skype messages AND all my texts, Spotify, Skype, and Verizon don't suddenly gain an ownership stake in what I've done.

Those who have had to move locations probably run into this the most. Usually friends formed in school and college are from a time you were young and naive and tend to have the deepest shared bonds.

And if you have to leave this behind getting the same level of social connection can be tough. Also some people are extremely friendly by nature, they love being around people and can engage easily, others are more reserved. Work colleagues are usually in a weird space, not strangers but not really friends.

Maybe human beings work best in known and close knit communities not urban alienated environments, clearly a lot of our happiness derives from social contexts, and we need that level of connectivity, interaction and support. Sometimes you want to be alone, but the rest of the time you want to be with people who love and care for you. Without it life becomes a bit empty and alienation becomes 'normal'.
I'm amazed this has been downvoted so much... As the OP stated, "globe" view (a.k.a. orothographic or perspective, depending) is not fundamentally better than other projections. It has tradeoffs. You should always choose the projection that matches your use case.

A map is a visualization tool. The goal is not to reflect reality as accurately as possible. The goal is to communicate data and spatial relationships. Projections are part of that. There is not a "best" projection. Orthographic with some animations is a nice visual tool for some purposes and terrible for others.

How could pointing this out be controversial? A bar graph is not a perfect representation of a group of numbers, but it's a very useful visualization. A map is no different than any other visualization.
>...If you put a bunch of energy into such a product and it looked like it would take off... bam... Tinder now has videos and you're dead.

Or he could be sufficiently irritating that he is approached for acquisition.

There are segments of the consumer base out there he could go after and use cases we probably are not considering.

Tinder is global and in my country, it has a (bad) reputation as hookup app i.e sex-for-pay. This alienates that group of people looking for something more substantial than a sexual encounter. That's one thing not going for it.

There are other drawbacks. People post their profile pictures, sure, but still misrepresent themselves in other ways.They write glowing tributes about oneself which other people might not agree with .... I for one would appreciate a one minute video of prospective matches to learn more before committing fully .
So, an app with a different angle of attack would generate interest.

Dating is nowhere near a conquered market.

I recently rolled out YubiKey 4s to my whole organization and it was a painless experience. There's not a single file-based key left. Provision the keys, replace the old file-based keys via our configuration management tooling, done.

Wouldn't a SSH CA just introduce a whole different kind of complexity?

- How to protect the SSH CA and its key and make it highly available? I don't want to be locked out of my bastion host after something the CA depended on broke and my certificate has just expired.

- How to authenticate users against the CA? Most solutions I've seen use a longer-lived client-side secret, which is just as susceptible to theft than a regular SSH key, or some sort of OAuth or SAML SSO. A malicious Chrome extension can now compromise the SSO process, you still need a U2F token (like a YubiKey 4) to properly secure the SSO account, etc.

- How to make it work with our SCM and random things like a storage appliance and various JunOS devices, which support regular SSH keys, but don't know about SSH certificates?

I would assume that Latacora is using a SSH CA, and I'm legitimately curious how you approached these challenges.
I sold my car after I had to move my registration and I saw how much I'd be paying for insurance. Luckily, it's New York, where you don't _need_ a car. I just can't understand how anyone is against this, unless you personally enjoy driving in the city for some reason. There are too many cars on the road, in other words, there is a scarcity of space in the city. Scarcity can always be traced back to the same thing: prices are too low.
I wonder if the 1Password animation only seems egregious to me because I'm not the crowd that it'll add value to. I understand on some level what 1Password does when I enter in my password. If I were to get my parents to use 1Password however, the visual effect of the vault unlocking could help them understand what 1Password does.

I think we may be too quick to judge these things within our own context rather than in the broad range of users which these user systems were designed for.
Well, you could say the same about China, where the Chinese government is a major stakeholder, directly or indirectly of all the state enterprises and some of the biggest individual companies. Alot of the purchases of foreign companies and technologies is done by the Chinese government. Also, China engaged in huge QE from 2008 to today, resulting in massive debt taking.
