I just realized that there IS a reliable solution to this issue with the counter. Accordingly to ATECC508A datasheet, its counters can count only up to 2097151, but the whole range of U2F counter is 0xffffffff (which is more than 4 000 000 000). So, the counter boost should be set to the value larger than 2097151, and then, the primary token would never be able to return counter which is that large. So once backup token is used, the primary one is invalidated for good.

Ok cool, I’ll update the article with that important detail.

Can you give some insight into how you choose what products you want to add to your site?

- I use the products I sell, and I am diligent about only putting up ones that are actually good.

What was your initial investment cost for inventory?

- $8,724

How much inventory (dollar amount) do you keep on hand now?

- Would rather not say here, DM on twitter :)

Why would a customer choose to buy from your site over someone like Amazon?

- Great customer service
- Domain knowledge of the products
- Fast shipping
- Easy, no hassle returns
- Service attitude

Do you have any thoughts on Facebook vs Google adds (which you prefer, which drives more traffic, which drives more spends)?

- Google will always yield higher quality traffic.

Is there anything such as a Shopify App, website, or service that you wish existed that currently doesn't?

- Great question need to think on it, follow up with me on Twitter @kentf.

> In general, in the tech world I find the biggest supporters of "X should be its own job" are either the people who do X -- or train people to do X

That strikes me as a characterization with more cynicism implied than necessary.

I, personally, routinely support job specialization, even outside my own specialty. Partly, this is bias/solidarity, but, partly, it's that, even though I'm happy doing Y, I don't want to end up spending 20% of my time doing X (and neither does almost anyone else, which they may not admit).

> Customers don't care one way or another. Neither should we. If we need an X, we get one.

Except that, no, "we" don't get one, not if we've trained ourselves, in the entire industry, to think X isn't its own job. Instead, we get a Z-that-can-also-do-some-X (but may, as I alluded to above, actually not want to do that X, or, as other comments in the thread suggest, can't do all of X).

This is especially noticeable among startup job postings over the last 5 years where Z is programmer and X is either manager or ops (including the sub-specialty of DBA).

How do someone even know they need an X if no X exists in their world? How we talk about things, especially to newer entrants into the industry matters. We should care.

Deep Learning Stretches Up to Scientific Supercomputers

Last time I worked on base with a "secure" computer, every IT policy I read was silently appended with "...but your computer also has Visual Studio installed on it, and you have permission to run anything you can compile." But it was also airgapped from the other computer in my cube, that could reach the public internet, so not much point in writing my own ad-blocker. Mostly, it just made it a pain in the ass to use third-party GUI controls and data visualization libraries, and open-source was effectively banned.

There's also a pretty wide divide between the work environment of the genuine government employees and the contractors' employees. Anecdotally, there's still a bit of a good-ol'boy network pulling on the purse strings in the industry.

If you have the choice, and you work in tech, prefer to take contracted jobs from Navy and Coast Guard customers over other branches. I won't say why, but you'll probably be happier if you do.
This isn't just some standard library though, and what do you mean by "wouldn't mean much, unless you're the compiler"? ...

I absolutely agree. This applies to not just CRMs but almost every area of your business.

1. Start with simple, readily available tools.

2. If you outgrow those: Buy an off-the-shelf product.

3. If you also outgrow those, only then consider building your own solution.

If it's not a key differentiator for your business then you're probably better off with not overthinking it and going for the simple, boring but adequate solution.
Wouldn't it be great if it was just so simple? A single organization can just stop it all? Who would oppose that?

Humans create war. It is in our nature. Every tiny effort to improve lives and perform these miracles should be cherished and encouraged, regardless of military background. It is perhaps one of the few ways we have to overcome conflict and look towards a better future.

https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/tech/HypervisorVsMi...

> Microkernels are intended to create a minimal set of low-level operations that would be used to build an operating system. While it's popular to slap a monolithic kernel on top of your microkernel, this is not how microkernel based OSes are supposed to be; a real microkernel OS should have lots of separate pieces that used the microkernel services to work with each other. Using a microkernel as not much more than an overgrown MMU and task switching abstraction layer for someone's monolithic kernel is a cheap hack driven by the needs of academic research, not how they are supposed to be.

> By contrast, hypervisors virtualize and emulate hardware at various levels of abstraction. This involves providing some of the same things that microkernels do (eg memory isolation, scheduling), but people interact with hypervisors in very different ways than they interact with microkernels. Even with 'cooperative' hypervisors, where the guest OSes must be guest-aware and make explicit calls to the hypervisor, the guests are far more independent, self-contained, and isolated than they would be in a microkernel. With typical 'hardware emulating' hypervisors this is even more extremely so because much or all of the interaction with the hypervisor is indirect, done by manipulating emulated hardware and then having the hypervisor reverse engineer your manipulations. As a consequence, something like guest to guest communication delays are likely to be several orders of magnitude worse than IPC between processes in a microkernel.

People never seem to want to admit that sometimes, technology just dies, or at least becomes obscure, and so will invent bizarre "connections" between what we used to be working on and what we have now.

Yeah, this is a relatively important metric for both investing but also affordability. It shows that there is an apples to oranges comparison in housing prices across markets (discounting currency differences).

When calculating the affordability of a home, the total monthly cash flow requirements (housing costs as a percentage of income) are critical. I live in an area where the rates are 10x that of Auckland. A $600k home valuation requires a ~$250 weekly rate commitment vs only about $27 in Auckland - a significant difference. It's still an expensive home by any metric, but considerably more affordable.

From a speculation perspective, an investor in Auckland can sit on a very expensive property with almost no cash flow burden, reducing the need to even rent.

$1 billion in revenue seems like an odd choice. If you have low margins and large numbers of sales, you could easily be hitting $1 billion in annual revenue with, say, ~500 employees. And your profits might not even be that high. Why not set it to $X of profit? Or $X profit per employee?

Anyway, I see no co-sponsors, so the purpose of this is probably to just be a talking point during the 2020 primaries.
Looking at those teacher salary numbers, I am struck by how much of a calling teaching must be to lure people to do it for such mediocre compensation.

So throwing out there that the numbered items are copied directly out of what I'm replying to.

> Certainly if a compromised disk driver exposes a lot more data, not so much if you compromise your video driver. Compromising either in a monolithic kernel provides the same level of access. Strong isolation boundaries strictly limit risk.

About the only part of the video drivers that runs in kernel space even on monolithic kernels these days are the drivers for the GPU's MMU. You screw that up and you're right back to where you started, corrupting random memory without regard for protection boundaries regardless of where that code lives. Everything else runs in user space, but not in an isolated process like on a ukernel, but directly in user process code, more like an exokernel.

> Driver support is always an issue. I don't see the problem.

My point underneath was comparing to other paravirtualized kernels was a best case comparison for ukernels, and zones/jails/containers has added a new more performant option for them that doesn't look as good for ukernels.
Close - an Ally. It was Gilles at the Royal Army Medical Corps in WW1 who pioneered skin grafts and plastic surgery. He'd done thousands of facial reconstructions by war's end.

He set up a plastic surgery clinic between the wars.

A relative of his, McIndoe, became famous (the better known of the two today) for his work in WW2 for pioneering and inventing many treatments for burn victims. Burns had become a common injury for pilots and aircrew. He formed the Guinea Pig Club for patients and effectively pioneered rehabilitation. He convinced the locals to visit the hospital in Sussex regularly and befriend patients. They organised trips out to the town so they could feel "normal" again (that became so common locals no longer stared), allowing a bar in the hospital, regular clothes or uniforms not PJs and countless other touches. The hospital still specialises in burns and reconstruction.

McIndoe ended up with honours from most of the Allied nations if I remember right.

Edit: More detail
It would be ideal if they were absolutely terrible at identifying people but particularly good at detecting suicide vests. They do seem to be fairly narrowly tailored for the task at hand.

TFA says they can discern large arms and bombs but not small arms.

Assume the technology can progress even further to identifying small arms and weapons but that it’s passed through an audited AI running on trusted compute whose only output is calling the police when a threat is detected.

Even then I’m willing to guess it would be a colossal waste of money that could save more lives if spent more effectively.

Because terrorists just aren’t that common around here and if you’re detecting them carrying a bomb into the subway you failed a long, long time ago.

Also, humans cannot detect O2 levels, we detect CO2 levels. When you supersaturate your blood with O2, you're also purging CO2 levels. This can result in you holding your breath beyond the point where your O2 levels drop below the blackout threshold, which is typically a fatal experience if you're underwater when it happens.

>"The sodium comes from the traditional Indian spices used in each dish so it's an intricate process to adjust the levels and keep the same quality and taste."

The majority of Indian spices are mostly single element spices - cumin, coriander, fennel, fenugreek, garlic etc.

Even Garam Masala probably the most widely used multi-spice doesn't contain any salt.

Could you elaborate on which "traditional" Indian spices have salt in them?
This is awesome. Thank you for all ya'll's hard work!
It's the bs sentence that came closest to having meaning to me. I thought of something similar;

"Only by looking into the future will you find inconvenient/perplexing/complex/weird/unbelievable/seemingly paradoxical/unwanted truths/facts"

Where the "irrational fact" is very open to interpretation, however.

I did mark it as bullshit though, it's way way way too open to interpretation. It could be poetry, if presented in a reasonable context, I suppose.
When I was at German military we saw similar videos for our first aid training. The video opened my eyes.

In this last project I was in, which was a bit of a death march - we (Team) ALL got to the point of incurring bizarre sleep disturbances and other cognitive/emotional disturbances:

It would take 3-4 hours once home at our set stop time to "shut off" our brains from thinking about what we were working on - and switch over to "being home" mode and interacting with spouses etc. without being irritable.

We also all had disturbed sleep from "programming dreams" once we could shut our brains down and actually fall asleep.

This is nothing new, I know - but it was intriguing (and frightening) to see these effects manifested consistently across our entire team.

Forcing yourself to do Pomodoro sessions can help. It allows you to go deep without going too deep - having to take that five minute break so you can walk around, check email, or whatever can keep your brain from "going native" in the computer.

Also, for anyone interested in intensive work sessions in general, I highly recommend reading Deep Work, by Cal Newport. He talks a lot about how to do really intensive work while remaining a fully functional and engaged human being outside the work.

One thing he recommends in the book is to have a shutdown ritual. He actually says out loud "I am shutting down now", to help kick his brain out of deep work mode.

You can’t rehabitate someone who doesn’t want to rehabilitate himself. The simple but politically incorrect fact is that the presence of these people makes public spaces dirtier, less inviting, and less safe for the rest of us. Saying the public library is just as much for me as it is for Fenatyl Joe is like saying the underside of the interstate is just as much for me as it is for Fenatyl Joe.

Small town libraries are lovely. Urban libraries in places that don’t have an uncontrolled vagrancy epidemic are probably fine, too. In cities like Seattle and SF, exclusive, commercial spaces are significantly more inviting than public spaces.

> You also have a substantially reduced ability to defend your families against violent criminals that live in your country, so there's kind of a trade off there.

You don't wish to go here as the statistics are against you.

Gun owners are far more likely to have their gun fired in an accident or in a suicide than as genuine defense against a criminal.

> And no, violent criminals don't need guns to hurt you. People have been hurting each other a lot longer than gunpowder has been around.

As the victim, you are far more likely to survive an encounter if a gun isn't involved.
> You also have a substantially reduced ability to defend your families against violent criminals that live in your country

Does that really happen enough to worry about? Should I spend my money on a newer, safer car or a gun? Or maybe on more comprehensive healthcare for my family instead? Perhaps on living closer to schools and other amenities so we don't have to drive as much?

I can't imagine that there are that many scenarios where a gun saves the day from violence... but maybe that's because I don't live in america
I spent a lot of time asking myself the question "would this company be successful if it had been started in St Louis?". On the one hand, they could offer an incredible salary to cost of living ratio. However, when I thought about my coworkers, a good number of them had spouses/significant others who worked for Facebook/Apple/Google. Also, there was a lot of value in knowing that if this company went belly-up, there would always be another company nearby to work for.

At least in this case, the decision to be located in the valley was rational at the individual level, even if it may be irrational collectively.

I think Seattle, Boston, LA, and NYC also have critical masses of talent that make them acceptable for starting a tech company, but unfortunately those places aren't really affordable either. The decrease in proximity to talent and capital probably isn't worth the marginal savings in cost of living.

If anyone is going to break the chicken vs. egg cycle and set up shop somewhere truly affordable, I think it will have to be one of the big companies, opening up a satellite office and offering employees the ability to choose where they want to work. They're all so profitable that they don't seem to mind the money that's going to Bay Area landowners. I wonder how expensive things will have to get before they start to get creative.

Don't mean to sound hung up on the preservatives, just stating a fact of their processes and what sets us apart. Added preservatives of any kind alter the food and taste at the benefit of having a longer shelf-life.

The sodium content from our products comes from the spices in the recipes themselves. Indian spices especially have a large amount of salt (which makes them so flavorful and spicy!), but we do not add any additional salt for preservation. We are also currently working on low-sodium options!
