> or when Microsoft hires erotic dancers for their events,

I worked at MS for a long time. I can say that sort of stuff hasn't happened for quite awhile, and people involved in it happening were fired, some of them rather publicly.

Now days, expense reports are gone over very carefully. Everyone at Microsoft attends yearly ethics training, which covers all manner of topics, including what is and is not acceptable to do to win sales.

Realistically, when it comes to cloud based productivity systems, the choices are Microsoft or Google.

> then the top executives with no technical knowledge are happy to sign multi-year contracts that lock them into those vendors

Any half decent company is going to have at least a CTO in charge of these decisions. The CTO should have multiple people working for them that are capable of making engineering decisions.

If a company sends a bunch of non-technical people to a technical presentation to make a technical decision, that is the company's fault.
Kerberos was a major inspiration for us!

The goal of Vault was to be a modern Kerberos, but invert the integration model. I think that is the Achilles heel of Kerberos, since it has a complex API and only works if the endpoint systems are tightly integrated.

Vault operates in much the same way, and could be viewed as a "KDC". However, instead of requiring the Authentication Service (AS) to be Vault aware, Vault uses authentication plugins to do the integration in the other direction. Similarly, instead of network services being Vault aware, Vault uses secret plugins to do the integration with endpoint systems.

This lets Vault easily be extended to support new authentication systems and endpoint systems, without needing those systems to be modified. Otherwise, its conceptually very similar to Kerberos!

Edit: I'm a co-founder of HashiCorp, and one of the early authors on Vault.

> On Aug. 13, Carson proposed requiring that cities that receive federal housing grants reduce their use of exclusionary zoning.

Question: is there anything stopping these cities from just deciding to decline federal housing grants? The biggest culprit in this issue is Silicon Valley. Do they really need Federal housing grants to make people want to move there? The issue is too much demand already.

If Carson forces the issue, I can absolutely see San Francisco's city leadership just declining grants instead of changing their zoning. That might be enough to get some people voted out, but it'll take a while.

Every single time something like this comes up, without fail, someone makes a comment like this: one that says "just solve the collective action problem!"

The fact is, even if I go through the trouble to not use anything I find problematic, it's not going to affect those companies. "Here we are complaining" because getting others to be aware of the problem and to take action is the only thing that'll work.
Lua is amazing in that it is very small, portable, and easily embeddable. But aside from those three things, Lua is semantically almost identical to modern JavaScript.

I've embedded both and used them heavily in my various window managers, and these days I personally recommend embedding JavaScript over Lua if possible.

But when a small, portable and lightweight language is needed, there's also Sparkling[1], which is like the best ideas of JavaScript with the minimal footprint and portability of Lua.

Yes, if you're hosting that file, you'd be fine, although I might worry about the security of the rest of their architecture (I'm not sure what feedly does, tbh).

The one caveat to the above statement is that some places give you a file to host, but it's more or less a script that just document.writes another script tag which loads an external JS file. If that's the case, then you'd still be vulnerable.

In a simple example of a free market a consumer could select a provider based on prices they advertize.

With the exisitng and prevalaent fee-for-service healthcare this 'fee' is not the price. It's different even functionally, where the 'price' is what's expected to be advertized upfront, the 'fee' is what gets billed afterwards. Has anyone tried to ask a doctor's office or a hospital if they could refer you to a price-list for the range of services they provide? If you're lucky, you'd be referred to Medicare regulated pricing, yet it's not even a baseline. I'm not even going into the 'flavors' of the fees formuated to different insurers, ??patients.

While there're rationalizations for such pricing approach, by itself it limits consumer's ability to be an active agent in free market. In healthcare the consumer is treated more like a resource.

I believe Australia uses something similar, at least that's what I noticed while living & working there. Ex: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Hospitals/Going_To_hospital/co...

In the US there is the Surgery Center of Oklahoma which does something similar; I believe there are doctors in Oregon who do the same as well.

https://surgerycenterok.com/pricing/
Unfortunately, there's no fair market for medical services, surgery, diagnosis, scans, tests and medicines in the US. It is so damn opaque, that I get to know the total out of pocket expenses a month after a visit to the doctor. with extreme regulations, often stifling competition, Americans are getting ripped off every day with convoluted billing mechanisms.

An example is my Echo cardiogram experience in a span of 3 months:

USA: $700 out of pocket, with a blue cross blue shield insurance by an employer with dependent (premium is ~$400 per month). Insurance company paid for the echo: $2000

3 weeks: Total time taken from Cardiologist suggesting echo, to getting echo done, to cardiologist receiving reports and sharing diagnosis.

India: Without insurance or any other bs, cost of echo, was ₹1200 (less than $20), which I was informed upfront. Total cost with doctor charges was ₹ 2200 (~$30). When they mentioned the echo cardiogram cost, I had to double check to make sure I didn't hear it wrong.

3 hours: Total time taken, including one hour wait even though I was on time for appointment, Cardiologist has an echo cardiogram machine in the same room. Echo taken 15 mins before cardiologist arrives, and Cardiologist gives me the diagnosis.

If only there was a portal between US and India, that competition to cheaper access to healthcare would improve the costs in the USA.
I've had to start doing the same after turning 40, more 20-30 rep sets, no more 5 reps. I just ended up injuring myself too many times by pushing my max too much.

The other thing that seems to help is warming up - working up instead of down. I start with lower weight and work up to my max over several sets, rather than what I used to do, start at my max and only drop when I couldn't lift it anymore.
So it's an elevator with a robotic arm bolted on the side? Decent idea, surprised this wasn't thought of before to be honest.

One of the clever things they do is have a different response for the GET and POST on what looks to be a JS file:

Like with the new one( hxxps://info-stat.ws/js/slider.js ) if you do a GET you just get some innocuous looking JS:

jQuery.noConflict();

This is one of the things I enjoyed about Lua relative to JavaScript. Subjectively, Lua tables felt like a cleaner abstraction than JS objects.

In general, I have both of the languages filed in my head as "Decent scripting languages with the risks associated with any-typed variables and soft coercion", but given those risks, I prefer Lua because it's simpler; there are just fewer abstractions and corner cases to trip over. Contrasting with JavaScript, where the sheer scope and complexity of the language (which has only grown as features have been added to try and avoid the sharp edges, which unfortunately only makes the sharp edges into legacy sharp edges, it doesn't eliminate them) means there are an uncounted number of ways to shoot yourself in the foot (https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat).

Just curious why you would choose to write your own route handler.

I use them (via Laravel) on work projects and I hate them. I hate that I have to look at a routes file or controller to find out what is pointed where in my file. I have all my route-handling stuff for each page, at the top of each page so I don't have to go look elsewhere for that info. Is this wrong?
From their FAQs:

>> How big would a modern CPU be at this scale?

>> The Apple A8X, found in the iPad Air 2, contains about 3 billion transistors. (This is comparable to the number of transistors in modern desktop computer CPUs as well.) At the scale of the MOnSter 6502, that would take about 885,000 square feet (over 20 acres or 8 hectares) — an area about 940 ft (286 m) square.
I replied to a comment asking to "prove a negative". Either due to poor understanding of how it works or to skew the answer in their favor.

But to the point, you could wear sunscreen. But you consider that to be too much of a hassle even when risking cancer.

And no, that's not what my comparison was suggesting. What I tried to say clearly (not just suggest) is that if you live and die by studies than don't cherry pick. Don't ask for studies only when it suits you and it supports your point of view.

In the end it's mostly personal preference. No study said "moderate meat consumption will cause cancer" yet people are willing to skew the conclusions to better justify a personal choice. Just give up meat if you feel like it and use the study as additional justification if needed. Don't go waving studies to justify your choice but put them aside when they don't.
At worst, they refuse to sell or even negotiate.

The (unknown) exposure is with how the previous project stakeholders might react to you running with it and turning it into something viable. If they won't sell when it's worthless, I'd personally take it as a given that they'd litigate if it ever becomes viable or profitable. Even if you can reasonably expect to prevail in such a case, it's still a concern.

I didn't like SS when I tried it. It users the rep range 3-5 for the working sets as far as I remember. This makes sense as the book is strength-focused. However this is just too heavy for a casual lifter. Lifting 5RM, the form and concentration has to be very tight not to screw up. I've gotten small injuries from lifting much lighter than that. Nowadays I wouldn't even consider lifting 3RM for reps without backup - I know that will not end well.

> to be honest, put grandma in a XFCE distro with Windows 7/XP-like desktop and Chrome and she should be comfortable with anything.

I did this awhile back. Grandma got upset that her library of Windows games, some of which she had been playing for over 15 years, weren't around anymore.

As more and more stuff has moved online, this is less of a problem, but my mother is still reliant upon Flash for certain online games.

Also those online experiences are, in general, inferior. They have lots of ads and pop-ups abound. The web pages are made as confusing as possible to try to entice viewers to click through to a "partner" and sign up for some service, etc etc.

Comparatively, the old Wheel of Fortune game my Grandma got 15 or more years ago (on a physical CD!) is better than anything available now.
I used to think "oh, there's probably a good reason for this" in all facets of life, including healthcare in the US. Then my father had a heart attack, and I was exposed to just how stupid the whole system is. By and large, there are policies, procedures, and business practices that were written with good intentions, but we've evolved into a society where the most important P is Profit.

People generally just purchase insurance and think they're "covered." If the whole population only knew how dirty the system is, there'd be change. But simply because of the obfuscated nature of the system, there is no good reason for why things are the way they are.

> the EU, as a whole, is the world's biggest market

Except it isn't really a single market. Each country has a unique language, culture and body of law.

AFAIK nobody has a clear idea of which cognitive abilities degenerate due to normal ageing AND respond to exercise (other than N-Back helping short term memory, perhaps).

I'd start by looking at the standard components of cognition. Start with the sub-metrics in the Wechsler IQ test. See what specific mental skills you might want to maintain or improve.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wechsler_Adult_Intelligence_Sc...

Then design your own tests to assess each skill and your own mental exercises to see if you can strengthen your mental muscles. Positive feedback is your best guide, IMHO.

> Our main disagreement would be “who” pays, but that’s a debate for another time.

Our main disagreements are about "who" pays. Or at least that's what all of our major political fights seem to be about. Its a great distraction, because it sucks up nearly all the air of public conversation.

As a result, no one is ever having that conversation about why we need someone else to pay in the first place. The whole system is setup so that the sticker price of everything is unreasonably expensive, such that an intermediary to "negotiate prices" has become mandatory. Almost regardless of who is actually footing the bill in the end.
Ah, hackers, we are getting lost inside capitalism - inside startups - inside e-commerce and social media... I am not talking about socialism or leftism, we can get lost in those too - I am talking about 'personal'/'hobbyist'/'obscure' - like we see in zine sites like whimsy.space or the rabbit hole of sites like philosopher.life.

A part of our humanity will always be in 'obfuscation'/'code golf', demoscene, abandonware, easter eggs, the humble quine, dot plan files, muds, the icfp contest.

If my employment status came into question, I would be very quickly impoverished, and would have to rely on many social and governmental safety nets. Can this really be considered rich?
