Thing you didn't provide:

1. Any citation whatsoever for your claim that "Certificate authorities are regularly compromised"

2. Any citation whatsoever for your claim that "PGP keys are much more secure"

3. The list of those maintainers and their countries you're actually trusting for some reason with your current stance even though you're supposedly worried about "sketchy countries". Yes, a list, I know, you don't have one. Which is illustrative that in fact this "sketchy countries" concern was pure invention and you don't actually care.

4. The measures Alpine puts in place to protect these keys. Again in reality there aren't any, and in reality you don't care, because your concerns are bullshit. In the technical sense.

5. The public forum where I, as a third party, can see that this is all above board and not, as is the reality, just nobody cares and it's all assumed to be fine. For reference for the Web PKI this forum is operated by Mozilla, mozilla.dev.security.policy

Things you did provide:

1. A big list of non-threats like on-path governments somehow tampering with HTTPS.

That's a Gish Gallop. You don't engage with the existing debate, you just keep spewing more "new arguments" of no value, in the hope people will accept you're right.

This is close to what I'm wanting. The problem with this is that it doesn't have anywhere near enough supported commands. Even just basic ones like "git add" don't seem to be included.

I think that just makes things even more confusing for absolute beginners, but could be useful for advanced beginners and intermediate git learners.

EDIT: I'm realizing this tool will be perfect for creating instructional materials.
What ever happened to the seemingly amazing MS Research system that was demoed in 2012?

Each year approximately 140,000 visa are made available for immigrant seeking employees. These E visas are divided into four classes. The H1B visas that are common in tech are non-immigrant visas. You cannot use them to resettle in the US. For immigrant employees, workers must first get DOL approval after an "extensive and unsuccessful" attempt to recruit domestically--this is more rigorous than what employers have to do to bring in an H1B visiting worker.

Best case scenario, you qualify as an E1: that requires that you have "extensive documentation showing sustained national or international acclaim and recognition in their fields of expertise," in which case no job offer is needed, OR you are an "outstanding professor or researcher" w/ intl. recognition, OR you are a "multinational manager or exec" with at least one year employment at an overseas branch of a US company.

Second best is E2, for which you must have a graduate degree or a bachelor's and 5+ years professional experience OR have exceptional ability ("having a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the sciences, arts, or business"). This requires a job offer cleared by DOL, or you can apply for a National Interest Waiver which allows you to enter without a job lined up.

If you don't have a graduate degree of 5+ yrs experience, you are relegated to the E3 category. The E4 category is not applicable to tech jobs. The E5 category is an option if you have US$ 1mil (or half that in certain depressed areas) to invest and you are willing to commit to creating 10+ jobs for US persons in 2 years.

So in most cases, your employer must attempt to find domestic candidates, not be successful, file ETA 9089 with the DOL to get a Permanent Labor Certification, and then file I-140 with USCIS. If approved, you must continue the process with the National Visa Center. Your immediate family can come with you. You must bring various documents and medical certifications to your US Embassy for an interview. Then, you would be issued an E class immigrant visa which you take to the US border and request admission to the country. After paying fees, you will receive an SSN card and your I-551 green card, making you a "lawful permanent resident" of the US.
I have no evidence, only gut feeling, but I believe the "threat to Western liberal democracy" as defined by "Trump, Brexit, and rise of populism and extremism" is not caused by the Credit Crunch but by the decade of Rusia's poisoning the public discourse with its fake news factories and troll farms.
Great article that really highlights the negative aspects of Digital Nomadism. I work with some folks that do this, and when we talk about it, they can't understand why I would want to just stay in my medium-sized city and travel a few times a year. Like, why wouldn't you want to spend 6 months a year in Thailand? It's such a no-brainer!

And for me, it's just sort of mind-boggling that you'd jet set around the world. We own a home. We have friends and family. We have a great dog and probably kids in the future. We've built something here that we like. Yes, I know that the weather is great/everything is cheap/people are nice in City, Country, but the lifestyle just doesn't appeal to me. I like being at home.

----

One thing I'll say though is that the loneliness can extend to the non-Nomad remote worker as well, though. Not that long ago, I worked at a startup in my city where I came into the office every day. I really liked it, I just wanted to do something different. And now I miss the camaraderie, going out to lunch with work buddies, happy hours, and just getting in a physical room and talking through tough problems. Sorry, a few Google hangouts a week does not replace that.

Are all those things mentioned above worth sacrificing for the additional flexibility, coming and going when I please, waking up when I want, working on the things I want to work on? I don't know. Some days it feels like it is, some days not so much.

iOS has fantastic support for ad blockers and network proxies that make it INCREDIBLY easy to block outgoing connections. In my experience it works far better than Androids version of that.

Face tracking for faceId you can turn off but I agree it can be creepy. So far it's been limited to only on the device and encrypted so I've been ok with it but that's obviously a very personal choice.
Not to repeat other posters who've pointed out some glaring errors I'll just say that when you can't wrap your head around the facts, you change the meaning of things to back up your beliefs.

This is irresponsible "journalism", especially for an opinion piece.
There are lots of such safeties in the system, it's just that unlike electricity an 'open' connection in a gas line is called a leak... So the problem is much harder, and there is no safe configuration where you can force a valve to shut down in a passive way if the other side is not playing nice. Above a certain pressure anything will go and to design for even higher pressures would be cost prohibitive. So burst plates and other non-resettable safety devices are deployed in strategic locations, and their default mode is to vent.

What exactly went wrong here is still unknown but the smart money is on an uncontained overpressure and a failure of one or more safeties. All it takes i the right set of circumstances. For instance: a very short pulse of very high pressure followed by a lower pressure not high enough to cause venting to occur. That would do nicely: every membrane in the line that was at or near the end of their service life would break causing high pressure to end up on the low pressure side but it would not cause the main safeties to trip.

Keep in mind that all this stuff is passive, mostly mechanical and in many cases decades old.

Something similar can happen to circuit breakers: there is an effect that causes the breaker to weld itself into position rather than to break the circuit, and there are plenty of examples of the breakers themselves catching fire due to high resistance between the breaker contacts. Then there is lightning, which can zap your house to the point that your electronics gear is nicely plated on the inside of empty casings and the breakers are all still sitting there as if everything is fine.

It is super hard to create a safety system that will always work under every circumstance, especially if you want to do this maintenance free. More so, if you did not design it maintenance free but someone decided to skip on the maintenance.
I laugh at the idea that cyclists are privileged people when your entire argument is "I want to sit in my $30k steel box, not have to prepare for changes in weather, not interact with other people, and not work". The idea that someone on a $400 bike who read a weather report and works to commute is "privileged" is ludicrous.
The only cold problems I have with long distance biking in cold weather are caused by poor circulation in my hands and feet. I inevitably get too warm in my core within 15 minutes of commencing biking and start unzipping my outer layer. To keep my head warm, a balaclava and helmet suffices. It's the cold hands that are the worst though; even in thick gloves they still get too cold. I might have to start trying chemical warmers.
this is a well known business tactic, called "leading from behind."
>spawned by Manning's blind cable releases.

Genuinely curious, do you have any good sources that explain how the cable releases triggered this set of events? I understand that Manning/Assange have jeopardized some US intelligence efforts (and lives), but not aware of any greater fallout beyond a handful of compromised operations and deaths (no small feat, but smaller than ISIL).

> every other developed country expects from society as the most basic right

But they're wrong, at least by the American definition of a "right". We understand a "right" to be synonymous with a "liberty" or a "freedom"--things you're allowed to do, not things others must do for you. Unfortunately healthcare is something that someone else must do for you. Saying you have a right to it is saying you have a right to someone else's labor, or someone else's money to pay for it.

Of couse, even though healthcare isn't a right, maybe universal healthcare is worth implementing as a public service, like roads or a military. But maybe not--that debate is still unsettled in the United States. I suspect this is because we have at least one political party that actively resists framing it as "free healthcare". It is of course not free--it is taxpayer funded, and there are costs and tradeoffs associated with that that we have to honestly consider. If other Western countries have decided that universal healthcare is worthwhile for them, then so be it, but it does not follow that it is necessarily the correct course of action for the United States.
Are you saying Brooklyn, The Bronx, and the neighborhoods outside of downtown Chicago are suburbs?

If so, we may have vastly different ideas about the definition of a city.

Also, Seattle, Philly, Boston, Miami, and lots of other smaller cities are very much unlike living in the suburbs.
From OP's wording, I assume "cram everyone" means that there wasn't actually a good amount of space for people to work in there and it'd be detrimental to everyone. I certainly would be rigid if I went from working at a nice large desk with multiple screens to sharing a 16-seat boardroom table between 20-30 people...
China is now Apple's largest market for iPhones.

Proof that iPhones do not hinder the Chinese government one bit.
Sorry you were not able to build meaningful relationships in Taiwan.
Probably that is not the easiest place, I get it. But maybe you should work a bit more on yourself instead of writing throwing so much shit to the people who earned their high degree of freedom with a lot of effort. Also, you are discouraging people that are trying to find the courage to exit their comfort zone and reach their objective.
I didn't know that on iOS chrome is essentially safari. that sucks. like how can they get away with it? The EU should not let apple ban competing browser engines.
If Apple wants to sell in China they have to play ball with the Chinese government, I don't like it but I'm not sure I can blame Apple for it.
Bicycling also requires more concentration. I regularly read a book while commuting, which is nice.

Personally, my commute would be too short with a bike. I like a good 20-30 minutes between home and work to clear my head and get in/out of the zone. But that's just me.
It replaces a car for daily activities, not for road trips.

Have you ever seen what happens in a Tube strike in London? Gridlock like you wouldn't believe. I was cycling to work and I saw an ambulance stuck in traffic dead stopped with sirens blaring because there was no open space for any cars within earshot to move out of the way. There were tens of thousands of people walking to work along the A3 (Northern Line corridor) into the city like refugees because it was faster than car, cab or bus.

The point is, the transit capacity of a city with a dense transit network is orders of magnitude greater than the typical American city, and SF/SV is barely a notch better.
Pointless. Next time say nothing if you have nothing.

Maybe I'm being unnecessarily snarky, but is it really too much to ask for a business journalist to be able to tell the difference between a product and a feature?
This data is meaningless for analysis without exposing the racial breakdown. That South Dakota county is almost certainly nearly all American Indians. The big red patch in the south is very likely largely influenced by lower African American lifespans.
Yeah, I lived in Chicago for 6 years. You're being overly dramatic.
At least in Western societies the financial crisis will have a much bigger impact than 9/11. A lot of people learned that the system that was supposed to reward people that do the right things does not work that way and lost faith in it. That enabled the rise of nationalist parties, Trump, Brexit and others. We will see how things will work out but I think there is a good chance that the world will change a lot in the next decades because the financial crisis made clear that the system doesn't work for the regular guy.

generally = sometimes it is less expensive. I guess it wasn't clear, but my point was that healthcare is on average much more expensive in the US.
I've been looking for a reason to overlay real time physics i.e. fluids in 3D GIS for a while, and here it is!

There's no reason bar processing demands that this couldn't be done for any arbitrary 3D GIS dataset - this example seems to be just a very small area constructed specifically for the video, whereas it would be possible to zoom into any area and view the effects. Not to take away from this video, because it is certainly compelling.
For those of us scrubs just learning guitar, do you have a guide on how to use this? or a link to a good guide?
It's pretty shocking, because I don't think most Americans would suspect there is that much regional variation within the country. The US is frequently regarded as basically monolithic, with people moving from one place to another for jobs, family, cost-of-living reasons, basically assuming that life in one part will be largely similar to life in another part. This assumption is not backed up by data.

(That said, I would be interested in an analysis of whether or not your life expectancy varies with where you live, or where you are born. I.e. if I am from Boston but move to Mobile, do I end up with a Bostonian's life expectancy or a Mobilian's? How long does it take for the shorter life expectancy of someone from Mobile to override the longer life expectancy of someone from Boston? Or does it never do that? All would be interesting questions for research.)

This is a nice connection and it's a kind of what's known as a structuralist argument - what you're saying is that the approach of "uptime is uptime is uptime" is wrong, and distribution of /where/ downtime happens actually matters a lot. Economics did run into similar issues with GDP because it assumed for a long time that "money is money is money", until it found out that just because both Iraq and Vietnam have similar GDPs doesn't mean that they're at all equivalent - one is heavily dependent on oil and has few development prospects, the other has a wealth of productive know how in a ton of different areas (shameless plug, I work on this tool):

So by a similar argument you could look at how similar the population that goes in and out of unemployment (seems likely to me) is every year, and what that implies about policies and job opportunities in the US.
I work on a mobile app .. we probably have hundreds (maybe thounds?) of tracking tags for everything you can do in the app.

Sure, I imagine if someone isn't already lonely, being put into such circumstances could make them lonely.

But loneliness exists in conventional workplaces too! I work in an open office every day, but I'm still extremely depressed, isolated, and alone.

Culturally, I am very different from my coworkers. I do not fit into their social events cleanly, and do not socialize with them. There are many possible boundaries to creating human connections in modern society. Individualism in America has guaranteed that.

And honestly, I'd much rather work remotely and be lonely than spend all day in an office being lonely. At least at home I can focus and be more productive.
To be fair, I find that obnoxious too
A city that is bike-friendly is good, but a city that is walking-friendly is better. The bicycle is a great way to exceed "walking distance", but why should that even be necessary in day-to-day life? It is easily possible to build a neighbourhood where three generations of a family can live, work, attend school, shop, and more within walking distance. Walking is the simplest, most universal, and most natural mode of human transportation. All it requires is a compact pattern of development.

Walking has low requirements for infrastructure. An uneven sidewalk is no problem. An unpaved trail through the woods is fine for most people. I have seen people posthole through blizzards in a walkable neighbourhood when nobody could bicycle or drive a car.

For the individual, there is no mechanical equipment to maintain, no parking spot to find; they just need some decent footwear.

More people can walk than can/will ride a bike. Many old people avoid biking due to poor balance and strength, but can walk without issue. People that cannot walk, such as people in wheelchairs, also benefit from the short distances between destinations. The blind can walk, but cannot ride a bike.
If they don't track any user data and have an excellent reputation then why would I care about legislation?
I've worked for a fully remote startup, and you've nailed all the points. Remote can't replace local community (being a digital nomad sucks once the novelty has worn off, and is impossible to do with a family unless you own your own business) and in-person interactions at work (coffee and lunch with coworkers). I prefer to be at a job that had an office, but still allows me to work remote most of the month. I don't anticipate going back to a full remote org unless it was just myself doing consulting (because fully remote does not always equal schedule flexibility).
>>Specifically which atrocities are you talking about?

I don't want you to be under an impression that I agree with this reasoning - I do not. I'm just saying that you getting patted down by TSA or EU implementing restrictions on internet speech was never the terrorist goal, not even according to themselves.
So, is this the final stage of the Trump Derangement Syndrome or does it get even worse?
The author makes a few good points. Let's not forget though that Android OS still is waaaay more customize-able, and can be made more secure than iOS. Passcode on boot? Yes. I can choose what I want on my phone. I can choose to root my phone, just like a computer, with android, I can have full control of everything. Apps, defaults, kernel, etc.

Now, having said all that, for the average grandma I would also recommend an iPhone. Android OS/play store/xda is still the wild west, and you can be compromised easier, if you don't know what you're doing.

That's great feedback, thank you. I've been feeling it's a bit too abrupt as well - I'll make it smoother.
Funny that The NY Times is now making this point. This was a standard Republican talking point during the Obama years which they have now abandoned post Trump.
Thanks Jeremy :) Noted on the feedback.
Buying suburban for me would replace my 30m walking commute for a 1.5h driving commute, all for a yard I wouldn't have time to use with my commute. Not a good trade for me.
