If only. The biggest problem is that TLS middleboxes don't act like proxies. Proxies would suck in various ways but they're ultimately just a policy decision.

TLS offers end-to-end encryption but a true proxy splits things so that you've got two end-to-end channels with the proxy in the middle. This is fine, Alice talks to the Proxy, the Proxy talks to Bob. All fine.

But of course proxying sixty employees watching funny cat videos on YouTube needs lots of CPU power, which costs money, which means less profits for the middlebox vendors.

So middleboxes pull all sorts of shenanigans rather than actually act as a proxy. For example one trick is pass things through at first, eavesdropping but not actually proxying, then if the middlebox decides things are OK just stop eavesdropping and use a hardware fast path, otherwise drop the connection (wasting resources for both server and client) and when it's retried intercept the retry...

If you imagine this is a Black Hat talk you can probably fill in for yourself all sorts of hilarious things the bad guys might do here with this not-a-proxy.

So that's why this is a terrible outcome from a security point of view. But from a protocol agility point of view it's worse. The middleboxes make all sorts of arbitrary assumptions in their frantic attempts to avoid doing actual work and a working protocol needs to cope with every one of those assumptions or break those middleboxes.

Several big famous middlebox vendors shipped new firmware to make them "ready" for TLS 1.3. What that firmware does is make them TLS 1.2 full proxies. This has two consequences:

1. They now work. Both halves of the proxied connection are TLS 1.2, which works just fine as described above. As a full proxy when a client says "I want TLS 1.3" they can honestly say "Alas I only know TLS 1.2" and so there's no new considerations. So long as they proxy everything.

2. They have intolerably poor performance and will be quietly disabled outside of high threat environments. These boxes haven't anywhere near the brute power needed to really do TLS 1.2 proxy at line rate. Today's web is mostly encrypted, so everything slows to a crawl. The vendor upgrade docs explain how to "mitigate" this slowness by basically disabling the system.
Low ball would be undercharging by at least half of the competitor. I'm pretty sure that's not what you meant.

A shorter and smaller project is good from a sales perspective. You build trust with the client, you will continue the work with repeated contracts and increase price. It also avoids the lawsuits with massive projects having failed to deliver a thing in years.
Thought experiments of this kind are dissimilar to say Einstein fantasizing about elevators in that they do not yield insight over and beyond that which is already readily apparent. So rather than a thought experiment you should stick to real experiments and the experimental proof derived from there.

As it sits today the mummy and the frozen patient are both dead as a doornail and nothing in present day science will bring them back.

Keep in mind that if you want to play this game your best bet would be someone that's been freshly dead for about 20 minutes or so rather than the two cases you use to illustrate your point, and as long as that's not close to feasible the bet cryogenic people are making is really no different than believers sending their fortune to the church after death in order to be guaranteed a seat at the table in the afterlife.

Religion masquerading as science is more disgusting to me than mere religion, at least the latter are somewhat transparent about it all being fairy tales and fiction.
Yes definitely. I'm currently doing research in this field. And there are others doing research in this too (http://www.expressionsofchange.org)
For me it's about simplicity. Xml is more featureful, more difficult to write a processor for, and more difficult to write out and read by hand.
Also boolean logic does not concern "all", "any" and "no" (as in no cookies), these are from prepositional logic

But I agree with your point, mathematical logic is a consequence of something that originated with human thinking
Json is less verbose than XML, easier to read.
These are Indian (and other) call center employees who contract as support for Dell (and others) during the day and then use their access and company data after hours for some extra buck.

It has been going on for years, there was even an interview with one of these guys published - basically they do it because they would be stupid not to. It is essentially free money and the chances of getting caught are tiny. And even then the worst that will happen is that you get fired - and promptly re-hired by another call center operator.

This is very much Dell's fault for outsourcing English-speaking (it is not a problem for other languages because it is much harder to find e.g. French or German speakers in those cheap labor countries) to the lowest bidder in India and elsewhere.
The X in AJAX is indeed XML. Quickly appeared though that XML is too heavyweight and redundant for the browser (XML DOM!) and even for the internet speeds at that time, while JSON is as simple as JS' object literal. Web 2.0 adapting JSON formed a critical mass so that later (almost) everyone and everything went (almost) full JSON.

So it's not just you wanting high quality content? You also want to stop others from reading content you disagree with? Seems like a pretty drastic solution to a pretty small problem. You want to suspend democracy over an event where no one was even injured.
While I don't want safety critical decisions to be made by cloud services so that my provider can charge me a premium to unlock even safer decision making, I think that it's pretty reasonable to start with full autonomy only on preprepared stretches of road.

If that was the deal then you could have connectivity built into the road or road furniture and if the car detected a lack of connectivity it should come to a safe stop or revert to manual control.

It seems like we could benefit from a technological principle of Subsidiarity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidiarity
In the spirit of cooperation which is necessary for any discussion, I was adhering to the implied definition of "react" in your previous post, as I understood it.

I don't think you're being consistent with yourself now, in saying "react in time" means "to not rear-end", nor are you rightly attributing that to my definition of tailgating.

You're entitled to your opinion about a definition, but it's not worth getting overly offended about. Sometimes generalizing a definition changes what falls under it, but it becomes in a subtle way better. I think this is sort of an "is Pluto a planet" issue, only I'm on the other side than in that case.

Extreme bloat of the format, which makes it in practice both wasteful and not human-readable.
I think there's no marker. Both instances of you feel like each of them is you, if the copying was sufficiently faithful.

Concepts of the original and the copy are external to them. When you imagine the situation you take a place of external observer who has the information about who is the original and who is the copy.

ETA: It's something like imaging your death. You cannot truthfully imagine it first person, and (imperceptibly) slip into third person view.

Does anyone else feel that V.S. Naipaul dropped off the radar as soon as he won the Nobel Prize? I heard his name constantly in the 1990s and very early millennium, but after he won the Nobel it feels like there was not only a decline in his output, but in his cultural presence in general.
Building something and struggling through the myriad of roadblocks seem to be the best way of learning anything programming related. I was a C developer, then started building web apps. I thought I was a good programmer through my C experience, but was amazed with how many technologies I had to learn to build a modern site. None of it was “hard” just a large quantity of stuff to learn and struggle through, one database or library at a time.

I find the British model of 6-8 episode series, with a low possibility of renewal, leads to much better TV in my opinion. If you have to produce 20+ episodes of a series then your core story ends up being dragged out in 5 minute doses across all those episodes, and you inevitably end up with slow episodes where nothing much happens.

Compare for example Line of Duty with The Shield. Both on the surface dramas about corrupt police officers, but Line of Duty is relentless in its plot development - there’s barely a sentence that doesn’t lead somewhere, whereas The Shield has whole episodes with nothing much of consequence.
I think OP is missing the point here. As he being the sales rep, the only valid answer would have been "Yes, it's on the edge.".

It is a question dedicated to find out if you yourself think the product is good enough or how well you think it positions itself with the competition. Maybe it's just me being stupid here, but I find it funny how the whole discussion here has turned into a technical debate, which the original customer's point IMHO clearly wasn't.

There is no edge. You define the edge by what you believe in.

Surveillance capitalism is one of the big topics of our times, and the outcome of this confrontation between individual rights and corporate greed will influence generations to come. At the same time, it's one more chapter in the history of capital vs. labour: whichever advantages will be extracted from the massive information imbalance will go to the few, to the detriment of the many.

I'm not sure you truly comprehend that a few dozen individuals have access some of the most intimate details on the lives of billions of people and they can do pretty much whatever they like with that, barring any roadblocks from the impotent US privacy laws. And not being part of the game is not really an option any more when almost all your friends and relatives are playing.

This is crazy when one thinks about it: whether I want it or not, my information will end up in the databases of some corporation. And I was born before this craziness, but a significant number of people will have their whole lives stored there and the only way to have a modicum of control over our data is the GDPR.

All the vulnerable aspects of an individual - finding a home, a job, getting medical care, etc - can be influenced through the power of information. Undesirable individuals can be harmed or effectively excluded from society without them even suspecting it. But undesirable is such an abstract word... in the past this meant women, homosexuals, jews, union leaders, religious leaders, journalists and so on.
I used coworker.com to find my current coworking space. From a quick glance there's 13 private office coworking spaces in Tel Aviv listed there. Whilst a lot of them are different in what they offer, finding one that suits your needs and is cheaper than wework shouldn't be too hard.

I think the larger coworking spaces will have to excel on their consistency, ease of getting setup and cutting of costs from their economy of scale without becoming a RyanAir seat shrinking company. Whilst also not feeling like a traditional office.
We released our game in 2012. Since that time we have had 17 expansion releases.

You might think that by now it would be easy, or at least routine. Nothing can be farther from the truth.

Every time is a horrible ordeal. I often feel physically sick during the process.

To start, I will have just completed a bunch of crunch. We try as much as possible to reduce this for the team, but for the founders and at least a few key people it’s always right up to the last minute. So we are already in a super stressful state.

The second stressor is questioning if anyone will even come to play the game. It’s almost impossible to know.

Next up, will players even like what you made? This is a dread that is hard to shake, and in our case we have a bunch of players all hyped up for a release and if they don’t like your new content there will be a lot of anger and disappointed people. People are brutal towards game developers in comments on the internet.

And then there are technical issues. We are an online game and it feels like every release there is some major issue.

When there are 150k people banging on the door and the game has a critical issue stopping them from playing, it’s very hard to describe the feeling when you are the responsible person and you have no idea what is wrong.

Debugging in that scenario is like having an anxiety attack.

These 4 issues together make game release seriously awful.

You have the worst aspects of being an Artist, a Business Owner and Live Ops all in one nice package and right when you are low on sleep and after weeks of stress before hand.

It’s a perfect storm of hell.
Unfortunately there is a lot of anti-cyclist sentiment going on, and it seems to have been increasing over the last decade or so.

From my perspective in Copenhagen -- one of the foremost cycling cities in the world -- I think this is happening because policies are increasingly being enacted to favor cyclists and public transit. A lot of road improvements have favored bicycle lanes, often by decreasing the number of lanes available for cars, or by making a lot of streets one-way only for cars.

Some car drivers see these as direct attacks on their chosen mode of transportation, or even their lifestyle as a whole.

I see this as a necessary evil. You cannot improve conditions for one type of transport beyond a certain point, without also making conditions worse for other types of transport. Cycling, walking and public transit go very well hand-in-hand, but personal car traffic doesn't really mesh that well with anything other than car traffic.

So for high-density living, car traffic must necessarily be down-prioritized in favor of higher-density and less polluting traffic, namely cycling and public transit, both of which work best in cities. Roads and parking lots simply take up way too much space that could be used for parks, homes, shopping streets and people instead.

Conversely, it is hard to make public transit work efficiently in rural areas, and cycling 10-15km between towns for social activities (in all kinds of weather) is not acceptable to most people. Electric bicycles mitigate this somewhat, but in most less densely populated areas, cars still make a lot of sense for most people.

I'm a city person, so I favor cycling and public transit, and I would love to see the center of Copenhagen completely closed off to personal car traffic, only allowing delivery drivers and other professionals with a legitimate need to drive through the city center. I don't condone violent activism or similar methods, nor do I condone breaking traffic laws through methods like Critical Mass and the like. The "critical mass" I want is simply for there to be so many cyclists in traffic that they cannot be ignored or marginalized.

I would also never try to ban cars in other less-densely populated places, because that's simply not realistic. At least not yet, not without some major revolution in living conditions or public transit feasibility.

At some point, we have to realize just how ridiculously wasteful personal car traffic really is, and do something major to disrupt it. I don't think self-driving cars are the answer.

Your understanding is naive. EU is telling youtube et al. that they have to """voluntarily""" censor or there will be consequences, so governments are already involved in this.

Id disagree with the British model having a small number of writers or just one can lead to some very poor scripts getting made - where a collective writers room would have either fixed or killed and bad script.

Also concentrating power in that way can lead to bullying eg why Christopher Ecclestone left Dr who or Russel Davis suiciding torch wood.
I think you're making this more complicated than it needs to be. For simple things, it's ok to just:

from subprocess import run
run('foo | bar', shell=True, check=True)
Also, these are to a large extent not “natural forests”; these forests can be huge areas of human planted forest with vast areas being covered by trees all the same age and size. This could mean it burns faster and recovers slower than a natural forest.

Also in natural land there are natural borders such as wetlands to limit spread, and if those wetlands have been ditched to increase forest area then the reach of the fires will grow.

But you are absolutely right this is a human problem not a forest problem. Humans live in these areas, and live off these forests. Not seldom the people whose homes are threatened by the fires are also landowners whose livelyhood is the forest itself. That the ecosystem grows back cyclically is no comfort, they expect their homes and livelyhood to be protected.
Most modern high production value American TV follows a very simple and predictable format:

- first 2-3 minutes are an exciting blast of action or plot development
- 45 minutes of slow paced character development where nothing happens but you learn the nuances of the the shows world

- 10 minutes of a build up of tension

- 1 or 2 to setup a cliffhanger

- the next episode starts with action again and resolved the cliffhanger in a relatively unsatisfactory way that basically leaves the plot where it was

Some people enjoy this format, but I personally don’t. It feels like the entire purpose of an episode is just to get you to watch the next episode. To me, it feels manipulative and I refuse to watch the next episode when faced with a cliffhanger. The cynic in me also feels that this is entirely intentional to attract eyeballs.

That said, I know plenty of people who love the comfort of getting to know characters meander through a story-line, but these people love tv generally.
It's funny that there are US production teams considering the British way of writing TV episodes given that over here in the UK, there's talk of a few shows like Doctor Who moving to the US model instead:

Would be kind of amusing if over time, the British way of writing episodes became the American one and vice versa.

"the only way to ensure you will live "forever" is to severely restrict the agency of anyone else but you."

Such a lack of imagination. What about virtual worlds where you're ego would be uploaded, leaving no physical remains to be fed? What about changing you're body for something that don't need to eat food? What about the tremendous immensity and ressources of space that await colonization? What about being able to go to deep sleep and live 50 years every 500 or so? I could go on "forever".
It’s human nature to care more about the present moment than we do about some abstract time in the future. It’s the difference between wanting to eat that piece of chocolate cake right now when you’re tired and hungry, and feeling great a few months down the line if you’ve been eating healthily and lost some weight; between lusting after a new handbag now, and saving that money to buy a house or to invest for a comfortable retirement; between reading a book or watching your favourite TV show now, and having invested that time in working towards a bigger goal like learning a new language or writing a book and reaping the benefits further down the line.
I think it's worthwhile pointing out that it isn't like game developers don't have unions. Maybe if you're talking about the US exclusively sure, but there are parts of the world where employees in the game development industry do have active union representation (which as one such employee is very much appreciated).
And yet, they still put the image of a mass murderer on their currency. Can you imagine the EU putting Hitler on currency?
