So very much this. I don't want to be disconnected from the world, I just want my location to be disconnected from my employment. I don't want to be forced into one of only 2 or 3 hyper-inflated housing market cities because that's where all the decent paying gigs have decided to focus their headquarters. I can and do make friends and socialize anywhere I go, but most of the places I like are nothing like New York or San Francisco, and most of them have a hell of a lot better cost of living.
That doesn't make uploads any more workable.

Allegedly, it's quite a hard problem.
Fingers crossed! Certainly much more will be known about human biology and the mechanics of aging by then, given that what we know currently is mostly so recent (it's instructive to remember that the two of the guys remembered for discovering the nature of DNA, Watson and Crick, are still alive, and the latter is still an active researcher [1]. Molecular biology is that new.)

But- all your examples suppose not only advances in biomedical science, but also medical care aimed at correcting each of these problems. It adds up to a lot of drugs, therapies, or other interventions. In today's system, a well-off and health-conscious individual would receive that level of care as a matter of course- but today's system is a sprawling and highly dysfunctional apparatus already, and I don't feel entirely confident about how it will change in the face of future economic upheavals, political madness, climate-change-fueled social instability, etc etc etc.

The lifespan of humans is increasing, but the lifespan of social infrastructure such a the medical industry may be decreasing... which is especially problematic since the former depends on the latter.

Facebook's definition of terrorism helps states ute dissent, says UN expert
The deprecation works by shifting fraud risk to the merchant. I know for a fact this was done in the US and UK, and I would assume the rough playbook was used everywhere, it's named "liability shift".

The idea is, if there's fraud and the real account holder gets their money back (a chargeback in payment industry terms) somebody has to eat that loss. The liability shift rules say if you didn't do EMV, that's you. For a bank that decided they wouldn't issue EMV cards, they pay when there's fraud on their non-EMV cards - so the merchant still gets their money. But for a merchant if the customer has an EMV card but they swipe it, if that comes back as fraud they're not getting their money.

If the terminals suck, and your business has very low fraud rates or your markup is so enormous you can eat plenty of fraud and not care, it could make sense to ignore liability shift. Especially at first when customers know they could go elsewhere. But as terminals improve, and everybody else is forcing them to use the chip anyway, offering swipe is pretty much a sign "Commit fraud here, ask us how".

For NFC I don't know, it's hard to imagine them trying liability shift. "Use this less secure option or, we'll stick you with fraud costs for the uh, more secure option?" maybe they're just doing the usual thing where they raise fees for everybody who doesn't want to go along with their latest craze :/
If you found people that think that you provide value to them, that is a nice thing, wither they pay you or not.

But if some of these people pay you, then it does not diminish the value of what you are doing, it is their way to tell you that you bring them something valuable.

Something different would be if you think the money is used to coerce you to do something that you dislike, but you say that you actually enjoy what you are doing.

You are lucky, and certainly not an imposter!
You need to set "Vary: User-Agent" when the response varies. It's very important.

Learn by Doing [Volume 18]: Amplify Your GraphQL API
There is some seriously folkloric jibber-jabber in here. For instance, you do not need to wait until after installation to enable FileVault because "there is more entropy available to the system". Nor can you test the security of a CSPRNG by running "ent" on it!

In the same vein: don't run out and sign up for a commercial OpenVPN hosting service, and for Christ's sake don't install AV software on your Mac.

I kind of love how this is like 19 pages of rubber chicken "defaults write" commands, followed by advice to use Transmission to torrent videos to watch in VLC.

Actually BazQux Reader removes some simple tracking like 1x1 pixel images/iframes and filters out images containing ".ads.", "feedads", "google-analytics" and few more common ads/tracking sites. I've implemented it many years ago when tracking fighting wasn't mainstream mostly to improve reader speed.

I'm also planning to implement image proxy to make everything HTTPS (no mixed HTTP/HTTPS content) and to resize overlarge images (speed again) and thinking to add proxying of audio & video too. So site owners would not know that you've loaded anything from them at all.

The only thing that BazQux Reader tracks is feature usage: Add/remove subscription/star/unstar/tag/search/share/etc. And only fact of usage is tracked, no details (e.g., no records of what article was starred/shared, only fact that star/share was used). It helps me to get statistics of overall reader usage but of course I don't plan to sell it (and I don't think that anybody needs it).

BazQux Reader gets its money directly from clients. It's plain stupid to sell data of client paying $20-$30 a year for .000001 cent and loose all the trust (and money and self-respect).
Likely because it's a pedantic, often futile discussion. Language and communication is descriptive, not prescriptive. Repeatedly trying to convince people that they're using words incorrectly when they are using them to effectively communicate gets very old. If you chose to use other words, by all means do so, but understand it may get in the way of communication, and that communication involves all parties.

There are many words in all languages that when viewed from certain perspectives don't seem accurate. People drive on parkways and park in driveways. Going around in circles like this amounts to trolling.
The "correct" way to handle this is to not forward the mail at all. Instead, deliver it to the user's mailbox normally.

The user then adds this "external account/mailbox" in their Gmail settings and Google will automatically retrieve any mail from that mailbox (via POP3) and place it in their Gmail account.
That exact passage struck me too.

The word "com-pan-ion" literally means sharing food together.
The first link is an opinion piece, you do have to take those for what they are: opinion, not fact.

Usually the Guardian opinion pieces tilt to the left/progressive viewpoint, but not always. This is something I appreciate, not being always stuck inside a bubble.

The second link offers a summary and analysis of an interview of Assange, the original piece is linked, and while I didn't read all 3 articles completely I didn't see any massive distortion jump out.

And you have no easy and straightforward way to check or block the requests an application is doing. I don’t know why people assume that applications are less malicious than webapps e.g. Tinder software update takes good couple 100's of MB of mobile data, their image swiping module must have some rocket science happening.

I think that still misses the point a bit, but is closer. The availability of more ready-to-use software means that even though it's much easier to do something meaningful/useful with the available programming tools, it's much harder to find an application where programming it yourself is the most efficient way to acheive that utility, so there is a lot more needed most of the time before approaching a problem with programming is a net benefit independent of developing programming skills.
Node-Tfa – Two Factor Authentication with Node.js
TL;DR: There was a loophole found in an older thought experiment that indicated that at the quantum level, nothing is real until it is observed.

A discovery was recently made that found a way to add an unknown variable into the mix such that an expiriment where the future seems to affect the past was possibly explained away by a classical model.

However, a new experiment was proposed to show whether the new classical model actually was the explanation — and it turns out this classical “loophole” can not explain it.

So we’re now back to the beginning where it once again appears that nothing is real until observed at a quantum level which is also referred to as “anti-realism”.
I think it's probably worth approaching this very skeptically as a guide to improving the actual security of your Mac. Big swathes of it are really 'fun ways to nerdfiddle with your system' that don't actually do anything to make it more secure and quite a bit of the fiddling can arguably make it substantially less secure.
I wonder if there's some way clearly and simply visualize the connection between global warming and actions of elite power brokers. This would be easy to share and quickly grasp on social media.

You are correct, the problem started only after placing new Arista border routers. The previous border routers were not doing ECMP.
The issue was a combination of the use of anycast, diverse Internet transit egress, this model of Arista defaulting to using the packet's TTL in its ECMP hash calculations, and the end-customer router CPE egressing packets that are part of the same TCP connection with variable TTL values. Change any one of those items and the issue would not have shown up.
Just have a look at Wintergatan (from the Marble Machine) build channel https://youtu.be/7hYX67CZd28?t=239 If I remember correctly this CNC is around 5k, at least nowhere near 250k, and there are comparable ones for the more price conscious hobbyists. It slices up a big plywood sheet into hundreds of components with good precision. Hobbyist CNC machines are a real deal and not just cool for the looks.
It is easy to get started with Lego, and fun to use. Those who are really good can build some impressive objects. The limitations of the parts make it easy to find challenges to overcome.

Mechanical engineering is a lot harder, there are so many options to consider, new options come along all the time so you're always falling behind, and cost plays a much larger and - I think - more boring role in the process.

I think that is analogous to the point you are making with computers.

Silicon Valley and the Quest for a Utopian Workplace
> People like me who've never had to stare into that abyss personally can only imagine.

I found out about the syringomyelia 3 weeks after an 8 year relationship broke down (she cheated) and my business was failing.

4 years later I'm in a happy relationship with the woman I want to spend my life with, I have a job I love with people I like and the business is a distant memory.

Taught me a valuable lesson, not giving up is more important than pretty much anything else.

Found out 6mths ago I also have Crohns, just shrugged and carried on, life is full of shit you can't control so focus on the things you can - mainly your reaction to events.

Please. The first thing I have to do when I provision a new macbook is install bettertouchtool, and hack apart at that for an hour to get half-decent hotkeys. Every other OS has half-decent ones. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204948 — explain why that is simply windows-right or windows-left on every other OS, but apple requires some convoluted fucking process.

And that beautiful UX that is the bouncing icons in apple's dock? Oh! New notification from an application, let's have an icon bounce in the dock for a full 45 minutes.

Apple is chock-full full of stupid design decisions, Linux has done surprisingly fine in comparison, particularly given the uneven investment, capital-wise.

Late last year I swapped back to linux, & gave it a firm shake after ~9 years of apple (I abandoned ship due to the lack of ports, + touchbar). My linux distro gave me a hassle just a few weeks ago, so I tried swapping back to my '17 macbook & couldn't stomach it for more than 30 minutes.

Give ubuntu or fedora a try, it's light-years ahead of what it used to be.

Concourse's components (ATC, DB, Workers) can run on Kubernetes, but it is still handling the scheduling of containers it creates.

Disclosure: I really like Concourse. I work for Pivotal, which sponsors Concourse development.

Watching these videos made me realize how much I hate sales people. Every time I sign up for a trial or act remotely interested in something, I get inundated by assholes like the lecturer in these videos. Loud, aggressive and as he said "Hustlers". I immediately don't want to use that product or service and I look for alternatives if there are.

I feel like there is no better way to penetrate through the noise of the internet and products/services out there that Sales has to become aggressive. I don't think there is a solution to this? Is there?

I am no Concourse expert, but I've tried it a couple times.

Concourse's interface is just beautiful and functional, the CLI is great as well, but it has it's own ecosystem. Lot's of tools to solve problems that K8s already solves (Jobs, Volumes, resources, scheduling, etc..) it also uses workers which if I remember correctly is just like a scheduled slave which you need to install stuff into.

Argo is a different beast, it uses k8s like it should be done in my view.

It schedules container to one or multiple k8s Clusters, using CRDs which is kind of a DSL on top of the k8s api. It does not run slaves, is simply a debian or busybox pod, a Job or other resource that runs and returns pakages to the workflow or pass it on. The Syntax, is K8S YAML syntax, the same with a couple more things, very little learning curve if you know K8S YAMLs, Concourse is a very different thing.

BTW I have zero to do with Argo, I just find it awesome and am waiting for it to be more stable.

In the age of cheap, wireless chip+pin terminals, I think that the rite of taking the card to The Secret Room Where The Bills Are Printed is merely a show staged for status reasons: the patron gets to show off confidence (as in the original con trick) while the restaurant gets to show off how much patrons trust them. The first restaurants breaking that line would come off as not sufficiently trustworthy, taking a completely unwarranted reputation hit.

It must be a well known paradox, the more you expect people to trust you, the more they will be inclined to trust you.
