To be fair, the "terrorists organisation" was not called like this in the book and was just shown as one party in the war of independency from earth. And the elevator was controlled by earth and brought down earth troops who hunted down the resistance. So you can argue it was a valid military target ... terrorist(in my definition) target civilians.
They just acted very rughless.

But I liked in the book, how it did not actually took sides, but just showed the implications of what violent struggle/war for independency on mars means for different sides.

If the "something you have" part of 2FA can be replicated then it's not 2FA. So you need a "something you know" (password, PIN, etc.) and a "something you have" (a phone app authorization, a card that cannot be replicated, etc.).

This excludes anything with a magnetic strip from being any part of the 2FA scheme.

How do you price a product like that before it has a track record? I'd imagine a high up-front sticker price is a deal killer, and it's probably not practical to tie it to profit (which may have too many other factors in it anyway).

Another inteersting idea is an orbital ring - basically a rotating cable around Earth in LEO, which is accelerated by a maglev-train-like platform. The platform travels "along" the ring at high speed, but it can be made to stay "at one place" from Earth surface perspective (i.e. geostationary). The cable ring is rotated at orbiting velocity (or higher), so the centrifugal force counteracts gravity, keeping it in place.

>"So all you really need is for each router to make a consistent decision about packets in the same flow."

Indeed this is what I was trying to articulate but maybe I didn't do a good job of that. I mentioned somewhere else you can also just change the hash at each tier in your network - add IP protocol in one, don't use IP protocol in another. This should achieve the same as adding a "seed." to a router's hash.
This is true but partially. Maybe I have memories starting 1-2 years earlier when more than half the games were coming in BASIC listings and you could find some quite complicated and interesting ones among them.

The more advanced I had found was a football (soccer) simulator that was working like a text adventure game, showing you the development of the game by writing the words of the sportcaster in regular time intervals. Being able to understand it and modify it, was a milestone on my growth as future programmer.
In 1992, Michael Crichton's _Rising Sun_ had manipulation of security camera footage as its crucial plot device. It was painstaking, extraordinarily expensive work, reserved for covering up murder.

With this and several other recent developments, we're reaching a point that it can be done automatically. Which means, cheap or free.

Hmm.

On-Call Maintenance and Development of your Small but Critical Web App

Hey owner of a very small online business: In trying to hire a part time web developer, have you been frustrated by:

* Flaky unresponsive freelancers distracted by their full time job? Your business gets put at risk from expensive downtime, but when you call nobody answers!

* A revolving door of freelancers who do a little work and then leave when something "better" comes along? Onboarding costs add up and technical knowledge is lost!

---

We are Less Boring Solutions: We manage your part time webapp gig with full time care.

I'm David Colgan, and together with my partner Jesse Denardo, we have over 15 years of professional development experience building webapps.

But we made the conscious decision to only work with small businesses on small projects, because you deserve just as much care and professionalism as the big guys.

We only take less than full time jobs so you get our full attention. No waiting until evenings or weekends to hear from us. And since there's two of us, there's rarely a time someone won't be available to fix your app.

Services we offer:

1. Custom Development - From scratch, or taking over when your previous dev ran away, we're available for 10 to 20 hours a week to build your webapp.

2. On-call Ongoing Maintenance - Your mostly finished app is in good hands as we keep it up to date and are on-call to fix it if it breaks, along with occasionally adding a new feature or two.

If you need reliable webapp care, contact me personally at david@lessboring.com and I'll get back to you right away.

Kinsta | Senior Support Engineer | Full-time | REMOTE | https://kinsta.com/

Our client base is growing steadily and we’re looking for a competent support engineer with exceptional communication skills who can provide enterprise level technical support to our customers via our support system.

Our Support Engineers must know WordPress deeply. All we host is WordPress and we have the best support team in the business (even if we do say so ourselves).

A basic understanding of or familiarity with the following technologies is also a must: Linux, Nginx, PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, DNS, CDN, and caching (object and page).

This is a fully-remote role. Our Support Engineers can work from anywhere they have reliable Internet access. We always use the latest version of everything: PHP 7.2, NGINX, Ubuntu 18.04, Linux containers, Google Cloud and more, so you’ll be able to work with a bunch of exciting technologies and use them every day!

This position offers a great deal of flexibility, responsibility, competitive salary, and opportunity for growth for the right candidate.

The fake thermostat is the most frustrating example and tends to make me angrier than anything else. The problem is, fake thermostats tend to tell you what the temperature is. And no matter what you set them to, which has no effect, they continue to mock your failed attempts to become comfortable by continueing tell you just how very cold you are. And nothing is more upsetting than turning up the heat, only to see the actual temperature continue to drop.
I have always been bummed when listings had huge fields of data statements. In my mind, it was a little bit like cheating. Like using cake mix instead of ingredients.

Maybe, it will bring some nostalgia back!

> Fake Money

Lol, all money is "fake" nowadays - the amount of physical currency in circulation is basically irrelevant.

Whether they printed banknotes right away or not, they effectively changed currency, which is a typical way to exit hyperinflation. Brazil "just" managed to execute the transition very well on a psychological level. Venezuela is trying it now, using crypto as their anchoring.

I honestly can't remember a country ever exiting hyperinflation by any other mean, they all end up ditching the original currency in one way or the other.
Smart Host | Berlin, Germany | Frontend, Backend, Product | Full-time | Visa | Onsite | https://www.smart-host.com/

Smart Host is giving independent hotels the digital marketing tools that help them stay relevant in the age of booking.com and Airbnb. Our CRM suite consists of 3 modules: Guests: giving the hotels insights about their in-house guests in order to tailor services to their needs. Campaigns: to send only relevant information to their previous guests and turn them into returning customers. Offers: to craft custom offers for potential guests who are requesting a stay. All our modules are using advanced statistical analysis hidden in the background to synthesize actionable information and give clear advice to our customers on how to treat and market to their guests while avoiding to spam them with irrelevant information.

We are handling customer data with all the care it deserves and are, of course, fully compliant with GDPR. We do not mine from any external data sources and instead solely rely on data the hotels are gathering during a guests stay as well as online surveys conducted directly with the guests. This leaves us with generally very high quality of data.

Smart Host is a two year old, VC funded startup that is run by two experienced entrepreneurs who each have successfully founded two companies previously. All the members of the technical team are highly experienced and are looking for support from other experienced and motivated individuals.

We are hiring for following positions:
* Senior Backend Engineer (Java/Spring Boot, Python), Salary: 60k - 85k
* Senior Frontend Engineer (React/Redux), Salary: 55k - 75k
* Senior Product Manager, Salary: 55k - 75k

Wil does admit to some of it: "And for what it’s worth, the part of me that wants to apologize to the people who ended up [the blocklist] by mistake is overwhelmed by the part of me who was attacked really viciously by a lot of those people and feels like maybe blocking them wasn’t such a bad idea, after all."

That directly supports the narrative that he publicly blocklisted some innocent people, hasn't apologised and is being mobbed for it.

Geostationary orbit is really high. To say that it's well above the atmosphere is a huge understatement. If your counterweight gets anywhere near the atmosphere, it's already dead, everyone aboard is dead, the elevator is dead, a fair chunk of the earth's surface is dead, etc.
The first generation of Chip&Pin in the UK were garbage too. Slow and often failed to read the chip, resulting in awkwardly cleaning the chip contacts.

Most of the machines were replaced inside of the first year and things have improved substantially since then.
Seems I'm either wrong or I'm punished for being rude.

In the latter case, sorry. I honestly agree I should have caught that.

In the first case my thought process goes as follows (hoping someone knowledgeable will correct me):

- user space may very well contain hostile processes (trojans, rootkits, - even intentionally in the case where a user inspects malware in some kind of container or chroot environment.

- user space may contain mechanisms that attempts to protect the kernel, but a typical kernel (linux, and I guess most other free kernels) cannot rely on it.

- I tried searching for userspace protect kernel and the closest thing I found was the act of separating userspace from kernel space protects the kernel which is what I tried to point out in my post above.

AFAIK, there's two big problems in the US:

* many places moved from offline magstripe authorisation to online chip-and-pin authorisation (while still often using card terminals that use dialup connections, and connect per transaction)

* many US banks have really slow authorisation servers (for whatever reasons!); I remember some sales staff being really surprised at my card going through in about a second (and that verification probably involved a network roundtrip to the UK!)

They kind of made several plugins "blessed": Pipeline, Blue Ocean, Git, etc.

The core package plus these "blessed" plugins is a lot more stable than throwing every random plugin on top of a base installation. Just write a bit of glue script code and you're golden.
Regarding ideas on how to charge, I like how https://sketchapp.com handles this. Instead of charging $799 like the old Adobe Photoshop days, they charge a lower one-time price that receives updates for a year. You can choose to stay at that price or upgrade. You also don't need to back pay for years you skip if you choose to upgrade again.

>> "please don't assume I'm a Labour/Green supporter just because I read the Guardian"

So, its essentially an apology for being an open minded conservative... Sounds pretty much like a premature capitulation to the bigots. But at least I know where its coming from. I've been questioned: "What? you are reading FAZ?!?!?"[0] (with undertones of "how dare you" and "what kind of leftist are you?"). Its a shitty state of affairs, when you are judged based on the sources you read.

I think it is very important for everyone to be confronted with opinions that don't fit into ones already established narratives. And nobody should ever issue an apology for that. The alternative would be to renounce your intellectual curiosity and feed of a self-reinforcing feedback loop...
