I look forward to the EU suddenly telling the current rightsholders that their distribution rights have been seized by the state.
This is a good point, and to add to this, some companies don’t take communication channels between the company and their certificate provider seriously. Sometimes the CA is left with the email address and phone number for someone who left the company over a year ago, and if you don’t have a good technical contact, you can spend a lot of time calling around until you find somebody who knows what’s going on with SSL.

That said, anyone who doesn’t have a big enough IT department to properly manage a certificate should be paying someone else to do it, it’s just that there are a lot of ways that contact information goes stale and documentation gets lost.

I think it safe to say they mean "Indian American" in a racial rather than national context, akin to "African American". So I'd take it to include people who have ethnic ties to the entire Indian subcontinent, including Pakistan and Bangladesh.

As a Canadian who has lived many years in the US, the casual use of racial descriptors still shocks me. I find is very discomforting to be asked my race on forms, to see national news talk about how different ethnic groups feel about this or that.
You know, Canada had (has?) this, and most of what we got were dime-a-dozen, unwatchable knockoffs and drug-addled accidental psychological thriller children's shows.
I would not read a job advert for a company with "ping pong tables" and think that's a company I would like to work for. I don't wake up in the morning to go play ping pong! No more ping pong please ! :)

sure, but LA times doesn’t use the minority label with white people even though they are a minority in LA.

In other words, the jurisdiction of the newspaper is not always what they use when calculating the “minority” label.

A minority label depends on context, and IMO global context makes more sense when talking about SWE.
And I feel like that's the first step towards using their telemetry to decide that feature is unused and can be deprecated (because only the people who really care about something will go through with Googling to find whatever hidden setting needs to be changed to fix their browser).

And yes, I'm still salty about no longer being able to set showOneOffButtons to false :)

Seeing as the US military has been crying out (for 20 years now) of their shortage of fighter pilots, then this could generally be considered as happening.

It's a situation that could have been far more easily handled in the late 90's, but is now being "handled" by attempting to reduce the training latency (not viable and quite unwise, IMO, but happening regardless) and by reducing the staff billets demanding fighter pilot backgrounds.

Technology will indeed replace (and has been) much of the need to put a highly trained human on the bleeding edge. That doesn't obviate the current significant under-staffing.

Out of curiosity, how old were you then?

And if you were advising a school on a progression, how young would you start teaching various topics? Like touch typing at age 5; sequences of commands, functions, conditionals and simple looping at age 6, used for solving puzzles in about 10-20 lines of code; expand for solving puzzles in about 20-30 lines of code at age 7, and so on.
In the annals of corporate history, you'll find that before ~1875, "corporations" were intrinsically intertwined with their sponsoring governments.

Viz British / Dutch East India Companies, Hudson's Bay Company

Early American corporations were no different, and required the legislature's consent for establishment.

Consequently, Carnegie Steel and Standard Oil were both formed as an alternative... a trust... to avoid being beholden to government power.
My point is that it's not some trivial issue of Amazon "not listening", or anything else that is easy to fix.

The fundamental problem is that unskilled labor is very low value, and as automation increases, will get even lower.
This is covered in the article. Here is an example:

> The recording was one by the Berlin Philharmonic under the direction of Lorin Maazel, which was released in 1961 and is therefore in the public domain.
Not sure why this is downvoted. It is correct.
> The isolationism EU is beginning to display is starting to worry even me and the alternative is a bunch of UKIP-like nationalist which I am not really a big fan of.

Well, if it's UKIP in particular, the good news is that the opportunity is convincing them to become increasingly liberal in order to gain broader appeal.
I felt like Netflix was amazing the first few years I had it - first with mail-in DVD service and then the early days of streaming. Once content rightsholders got wise to the idea that they have something to negotiate for, and Netflix shifted to producing their own content, it seems like what I liked about Netflix (large catalog of sometimes obscure movies) mostly vanished. I cancelled my subscription.
Just linking to a book doesn’t help. Elaborate. Be specific.
Well, a specific example that's going to bite _plenty_ of medium to large sized corporations is that you have a pattern like this:

Big Corp's Division Z need a cert for their new web site https://www.division-z.example/ and so Bob buys it with his corporate credit card, and gives as contact details bob@bigcorp.example. He buys, let's say, a Verisign SSL certificate.

Six months later Bob leaves to work at some other company. Bob's email is probably now blackholes, or maybe it's going into a never read "Bob's emails" folder of Bob's previous manager.

DigiCert, being conscientious, send email to bob@bigcorp.example warning that Verisign certs were a Symantec product (Symantec bought the brand and CA keys from VeriSign, or maybe from some other operator which in turn bought them from VeriSign, long ago)

But that email will either get delivered and silently go unread, or it'll bounce, but leaving no sign it needs to go to anybody else in particular instead of Bob.

Months later the cert stops working, as scheduled, and Steve, who is now responsible for this site, thinks DigiCert is somehow at fault. How were DigiCert supposed to guess that they needed to contact Steve?

Role accounts are the Right Thing™ so that the email goes to the person whose job is to care about the subject, not to some random individual who may not even work there any more. But they aren't enough, you also need mechanisms in place that ensure it's somebody's job to care, otherwise the role account emails just go in a folder and are never read.

So, sure, "incompetence" and not DigiCert's fault, nor Mozilla's but it's very widespread and you should be astonished if you work somewhere that does NOT have this problem in some form (maybe you have SSL certs locked down, but it turns out nobody is making sure you pay the electricity bills for outlying offices, or there's not actually anybody in charge of making sure payroll happens...)

Returning to SSL/TLS certificates though, any medium sized or larger organisation ought to be paying attention to the Certificate Transparency system. To do this properly you need to know all the eTLD+1s your organisation controls (this may be a non-starter in really sprawling organisations, but that's already a problem that needs fixing) but then you can know exactly what certificates exist for your names, who issued them, and why.

In most cases you don't _want_ Bob buying certificates on the company credit card anyway. Not just because it's cost inefficient (ignoring Let's Encrypt bigger organisations can get a commercial CA to cut them a deal for a fixed price or a steep discount per cert in exchange for doing one big Purchase Order rather than hundreds of credit card payments) but because it's organisationally a problem, it has security consequences, and it's another asset you're probably not tracking properly as a business.
That was my reading of the graphs as well, and I was surprised it wasn't addressed in the text.

I have personally found that average RHR per week tends to correlate strongly with my own physical activity.

Weird, my morning RHR has consistently been 54bpm since I was eighteen years old, whether training for an ultra marathon, high-level bicycle racing, or sitting around being a (relatively) fat slob for a period of time. So consistent, that now in my 50s I just don't bother paying attention anymore.

Also get your hormone levels tested. I had cyclic depression from 15 through 25 and HRT has been a life saver. It becomes more noticeable at your age.

Everyone is different, but for me personally, a needle in the ass once per week is 100x better than depression, and it becomes something you have to live with, like brushing your teeth. Standard doses of 100mg/week are anarchaic though, look for 200mg/week and don't settle for the topical gels.
I find a lot of the groups really fun. Unfortunately far too many of them are cluelessly set up as public groups, meaning that your friends or coworkers or worst enemies can really easily keep tabs and even get notified about your activities within the groups. This makes them much less fun. Everybody needs a part of their life that is shut off from their work friends or even their blood relatives. So the otherwise really engaging Facebook group concept is heavily encumbered by yet again the old privacy issue, aka the "you saw me post that!?" issue. It blows my mind that this is still such a stumbling block.

The second one is (more) interesting, IMHO. The entries on how most of the keys have some defect or other are worth reading, since mostly nobody is looking at this stuff.

The relevant paragraph on Feitian:

Feitian ePass

ASN.1 DER is designed to be a “distinguished” encoding, i.e. there should be a unique serialisation for a given value and all other representations are invalid. As such, numbers are supposed to be encoded minimally, with no leading zeros (unless necessary to make a number positive). Feitian doesn't get that right with this security key: numbers that start with 9 leading zero bits have an invalid zero byte at the beginning. Presumably, numbers starting with 17 zero bits have two invalid zero bytes at the beginning and so on, but I wasn't able to press the button enough times to get such an example. Thus something like one in 256 signatures produced by this security key are invalid.

Also, the final eight bytes of the key handle seem to be superfluous: you can change them to whatever value you like and the security key doesn't care. That is not immediately a problem, but it does beg the question: if they're not being used, what are they?

Lastly, the padding data in USB packets isn't zeroed. However, it's obviously just the previous contents of the transmit buffer, so there's nothing sensitive getting leaked.
Agreed. I'm far more concerned about how I behave at the local pub.

If Apple includes an additional public key in the list of keys that can decrypt an iMessage, how are you now exposed to every other malicious actor on the internet?

There are things handset makers could do that would allow law enforcement access to a device without compromising the security of every person using that device. For example, they could add a connector to the logic board that grants access to the keys after a fuse is blown. It would only work on devices that law enforcement have in their possession and once they blow the fuse, the device is otherwise useless so you don't have to worry about using a device that's been compromised. It could even be designed so that the extracted key is encrypted and can only be decrypted by Apple after they receive physical possession of the phone and a court order.

A scheme like this would individual phones that law enforcement have in their possession to be accessed. It wouldn't allow mass decryption and so normal users are still protected. That seems like a reasonable compromise to me.
I'm was talking about a comment made before any of those changes, where that comment was making assumptions. I'm also saying that you can't assume that what is there in the OPs post or comments tells the full story.

You don't seem to understand that someone can actually be in a severely bad mental state (as if a label being "non-medical" somehow means such a state cannot exist). You are assuming that no claims of such can be objectively accurate -- that they can only be allowing oneself to be defined in a certain way, and can only be expressions of mindset or attitude.
Or "influence", for that matter.

I wrote a free e-book tutorial for the Kitura web framework called Kitura Until Dawn [0] using an almost identical workflow: per-chapter Markdown files, pandoc, and kindlegen. Pandoc is an amazing tool. In addition to tweaking some Latex stuff to get the output I wanted, I also use a simple Lua script to rewrite internal links so that they don't break. I export to several different downloadable formats, and host an HTML version via GitBook[1] - though I may self-host at some point.

I have the entire book in a GitHub repository [2], including the export script [3], which may be of interest to those wishing to write a book a similar way.

"Computer science" has always been a problematic term. Actual sciences don't need to put "science" in their name. Most of what computer scientists do is not really science, not that there's anything wrong with that. With all the mathematicians involved, you would have thought someone would have come up with a pleasantly evocative name. (several subjects within mathematics have mellifluous names) "Computation", for example, would have been elegant, but that ship has sailed.

TFA isn't talking about that anyway.
