"and the banks are actually pretty good at deciding who is too risky to lend money to"

Uh, no.

Chinese banks are politicized, they lend for the strategic impetus of the government, which in itself is often really just the result of patronage (read: soft corruption) anyhow. And even without that you have crazy targets which distorts not only lending, but entire sectors of the economy.

Chinese lending is la-la land and not really based on credit worthiness.

Also - lending is all intertwined, public or not. Credit doesn't care where credit comes from, so if this lending bubble is big enough it could cause a recession. And now that China is #1 or #2 sized economy, it would possibly hit everyone.
And I feel like a lot of the desktop/work-type queries DuckDuckGo compares the best at.

Try any query requiring some kind of serious recency bias or locality on DuckDuckGo. Completely useless.

Yeah, so they rebranded. That's what I'm saying.

strongSwan is literally 2 orders of magnitude more code than WireGuard, and for all that you get 1990s cryptography. Why would you trust it at all?

Companies wouldn't be required to "[dump] all their employees out" at lunch. Plenty of people bring their own lunches to work every day, so it's incorrect to assume that every office-based employee would be simultaneously hitting the streets for food.

MAARK | DevOps Engineer | Boston, MA | Full-time | Onsite

MAARK | Senior Web Developer | Boston, MA | Contractor/Freelance | Remote

MAARK, a strategic marketing and innovation agency, is looking for a DevOps Engineer to own our core AWS cloud infrastructure. The full-time employee role would be Boston-based. As a team, we work together in person twice a week in our Boston office, but for the rest of the week, we work remotely. Over the years we have found that people who are well organized and are comfortable managing their own personal time fit best.

For the Senior Web Developer position, we are open to local/remote contractors/freelancers who can develop and implement responsive/MVC web apps and websites with a high degree of focus on the visual design and the overall UX. As a dev team, we work on creative projects, utilize a wide variety of fullstack technologies (e.g., React, Marionette, Node.js, and empower our developers to create innovative solutions and explore/learn emerging tech.

For info on MAARK, see https://www.maark.com. For full details on the DevOps Engineer position, see: https://maark.workable.com/jobs/779791. For the Senior Web Developer position, see: https://maark.workable.com/jobs/779437.

U2F is pretty cool, but it's also a bit over-complicated. Specifically, I don't think we need USB or NFC.

A client (or an extension) could generate a QR code which embeds a signed request from the server (SRS) along with a signed request from the client using a key it generates just for this server (CRS). The user scans this QR, the user's phone app recognizes the SRS+CRS, and spits out a token or QR.

The phisher might be able to mitm the SRS, but they can't know what the CRS is, so they can't generate a fake QR that will validate on the client app. So with no special hardware, we generate a one-time token that [as long as they can't mess with browser window pop-ups or some other nonsense] can't be phished. (I'm excluding malware because we all know it's game over by that point)
Oh my god, I've been waiting and looking for something like this for forever. It's a total pain in the arse to change dozens or hundreds of styles on a page in devtools and have to keep a mental model of what's been changed to then manually save each of the changes to disk. It's incredibly painstaking, since devtools doesn't keep a log of all your changes, the closest thing is the inspector-stylesheet, which doesn't work if you're editing an existing stylesheet.

This will make my life so much easier! Thank you so much!
Sharp Zaurus, Handspring Visor, Treo, are all from that time as well.
No, banks in China lend in order to achieve strategic targets set by the government, and for reasons of political patronage.

Lending is not fully market driven.

This is not necessarily personal lending, it's grey market business lending, so it's not about 'credit scores'.

Yes, with some caveats. If you're `export`ing something as a package, you need to expose its types so that the consumer knows what its signature looks like. Once that is done, calling a function that was defined in another package will get type inference, as seen in the screenshot I posted.
Of all your points, the protectionist approach is the only credible threat to China's economy. Protectionism has always doomed countries. Much of China's growth over the last twenty years is directly attributable to opening the markets to foreign investment.

Then on the flip side contractors usually get paid for hours worked, including evening software releases, weekend on-call and so forth. Employees.. not so much. I'll take job insecurity over unpaid on-call any day of the week (especially Saturday and Sunday). Besides, employees get fired pretty easily from what I see. In some States they often get some severance to offset lawsuits, but a contractor still makes more.
The documentary hasn't been released yet. I was at the West Coast premiere of it in California Theatre in downtown San Jose last week. Maybe Netflix, Amazon or Hulu will get the rights for distribution soon until then I'll have to wait to watch it again.

Then the city should make it cheaper to own and operate restaurants and make the city less shitty to walk around in by cleaning up its streets of shit and syringes. A lot of these areas that have tech cafeterias are just plain awful to walk around in.

You can’t create a vibrant restaurant scene in these areas just by attempting to force people to eat lunch out at overpriced restaurants that aren’t even open on weekends
What do you think of choices like aggregating GPS tracks from Apple Maps to augment their map data like Google but with the key difference of removing the start and end points client side? Really going for the "we want the capability without the liability" angle here. Doesn't seem too phony to me.
Stasis Labs | DevOps & Security Contractor | 2 - 3 month contract | Onsite (Los Angeles) or Remote | https://stasislabs.com

We're looking for an AWS / infrastructure / devops consultant with experience architecting for HIPAA. We know at a high level what we need to do to achieve HIPAA compliance, but want a consultant with enough experience around HIPAA that they can be interpreting certain high-level requirements into action items as far as changing our AWS infrastructure without us burning ourselves from interpreting something incorrectly. Having node.js experience (and interest on backend code-writing) is an optional plus.

We have an existing infrastructure that will require config tweaks (like adding encryption at rest to some services), expanding the logging capability, expanding alerting, and a few other to-dos.

Open to working with people in U.S. or India timezones. We're in LA and Bangalore but remote is fine. Expected timeframe would be fulltime Aug - Sept (or Oct if needed).

Reach out to software@stasislabs.com if interested.

One example I've found where Google excels is when I'm troubleshooting a technical issue and paste a snippet of an obscure-looking error message into the search box. Many times when I've been using DDG I would get little to no results, but the same search in Google would yield usable results. This erodes my confidence in DDG and so even for simple searches I'm never sure I'm getting the best results with DDG.

We've tried that in the late 19th century and it led to bank runs and financial panics every ten years, much worse than what we have now. I do agree, however, that we should benefit from having a more transparent and direct financial intermediation infrastructure that does not require systemically important nodes to rely on the central bank so much. Central banks would eventually generate too much moral hazard; we're not quite there yet but we're getting close.
1. A Gsuite subscription gives me unlimited storage and a private mailing list which is absolutely vital to me. For 10 CAD this is quite a something. And, well, they are Google. And you need to consider your backup provider going out of business, I will be happy to bet Google will stay alive longer than any other perhaps the exception being S3. But Drive has a pretty UI to spot check them in backup or download a single one (I use rclone to back up).

Also, there's a certain irony to this being your second ever comment.

I think you maybe missed the idea in my original comment -- opening up the platform to business and marketing in any of its guises whatsoever causes the dilution.. as is so often repeated, tech can't solve social problems, and I really have no interest in allowing marketing to invade my social space.

Any rules can/will be gamed, reinterpreted and twisted such that the end result is the always same -- I'm notified by a human-contact medium of a supposed human-contact that was actually a sales or marketing ping. I don't want that, nobody does.

I don't know how you can seriously argue that $1/year is "not as inexpensive as you think." Even in poor countries, that subscription fee is ridiculously low.
I think the parent meant that they are very vigilant about not giving access to this data to anybody who is not affiliated with Google. Which makes a lot of sense for both business and privacy reasons - you don't want to let others access your valuable assets, and the backlash for leaking out the data usually is much larger than for just having it. Nobody cared about Equifax knowing everything about everyone until it was hacked.
Or we can just implement U2F, which was designed specifically based on experiences people had with TOTP phishing. There are software U2F tokens if you nerd-fussy about this stuff.

Whether or not people at Google have different opinions is largely irrelevant, unless they’re going to engage in coordinated labor action like they did with the drone program.

I'm so tired of being interrupted by these groups. You probably know the type of call. "The IRS/Credit Bureau/Social Security/Bank needs to speak to you immediately because blah blah blah." What can we do to stop these groups?

My colleagues and I have resorted to trying to keep them on the phone as long as possible by pretending not to know they are scammers. We ask questions that sound like we are ignorant, without giving away any details. The thought being that at least we are eating up some of their time.

Are there tools that would allow us to trace the call, or social engineering tactics we could use to determine who they are, and then take some action?

No scientist is predicting that "all plant matter will catch on fire". In fact I've never heard anyone predict that.

If we do nothing, within the next 80 years large parts of the currently inhabited planet will be uninhabitable by humans, however. That's a sort of apocalypse. It's also the consensus view of scientists who study the global pollution epidemic.

If it's anywhere other than on your personal machine, yes. OP was referring to NFS home directories (or otherwise home directories on servers), which I think is likely the only feasible vector to access people's "workspace files" in bulk without hacking every employee's machine individually.

Your SSH key should only exist on your desktop/laptop, never on a server. Use ssh-agent (and agent forwarding, when needed), which was designed for this.

The best approach is to use yubikeys and pkcs11 along with your ssh-agent so the private key never exists on disk at all, but at the very least, using vanilla ssh-agent is an imperative.

Amazon's response to this report: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/thoughts-on-machine-learnin...
I've seen a few comments in this thread from people who seem to be arguing that every employee who would otherwise get a free lunch at work would suddenly be flocking to the streets.

First, this doesn't eliminate existing cafeterias, it just bans new ones. Second, cafeterias exist for two reasons - pricing and convenience. If, as you hypothesize, cafeterias closed (which is not what's happening here) and everyone was forced to find other options, I would imagine that a good portion of these people would opt to bring their own lunch from home, for those same two reasons - pricing and convenience. After all, why spend 40 minutes in line for a $15 lunch when you can make a damn good one at home for ~$6 and eat it virtually whenever you'd like?

Disclaimer: I do not support the city's decision here, but I also don't think it's as big of a travesty as people are making it out to be.
