No, I read it. I think the Socratic approach is the best way to teach law.

The profession requires one to be outwardly strident, speak up and fight for your points lest the opposing counsel win.

We have electrician learn by doing electrical work. Doctors do residencies. If you aren't the right personality for the profession, then that's the breaks.

And finally, length of ones document is not an indication of quality. If that were the case, the United States Constitution (shortest in the world, ~4000 words ) wouldn't be the longest tenured.
> Scale is everything for fusion (plasma).

No. Q is everything in fusion. Scale is one way to improve Q in a Tokamak. The problem with improving Q by increasing scale is that it makes the reactors uneconomical. A reactor the size of ITER cannot ever be economically viable, even was capable of producing massive amounts of electricity.

Luckily, scaling up is not the only way to increase Q. The better way is to use more powerful magnetic fields.

Calling Lavabit a scam is a bit of a stretch. They, by all appearances, genuinely tried to offer email as secure as it could be, given the limitations of the protocol, and when pressured to give up the keys chose instead to inform their users and fold the business.
> If you run into this sort of thing when applying for jobs in the financial sector, you're looking at the wrong jobs (or the wrong banks).

I agree. Personally I couldn't imagine working at a company that was hostile to my open source contributions, anyway. If I was contributing to something controversial, maybe.

Of course that's a reaction coming from privilege: I can afford to turn away potential employers like that. Maybe my Github profile has turned people away. If so, I don't see it as a loss.

On the other hand, I've fairly regularly gotten contacted by recruiters pointing out they've seen I have a variety of Ruby projects on my Github, for example, so overall I'd be surprised if it is overall a bad thing for most people.

While you're absolutely right, details that are sensitive in nature should be encrypted using end-to-end encryption. Otherwise you won't be safe regardless of email provider, as the other correspondents will often be using a US email provider anyway.

If your threat model includes an actual threat from organizations like the NSA, then I'd say you have bigger problems than the choice of email provider.

Ah, that's perfect. A hardware token as the /only/ factor sounds like a bridge too far anyhow.

With the mentioned services, you have to be aware that there is a real sense in which, while Monzo and Starling are Banks, Revolut is not a bank. The other two are FSCS protected (1), guaranteeing your deposit up to £85K, but Revolut is not.

You can check here https://protected.fscs.org.uk/tools/check-your-money-is-prot...

Revolut is still a useful foreign exchange service - I find it great for holiday money, but it's not the same kind of account as a bank's current account, and it would be a mistake to use it as if it was.

While you're completely on the mark with this, I noticed that Google pulls the new Microsoft now that it has almost a quasi monopoly on the desktop: Most of the new, complex UIs by Google services (read: GCP Cloud Console, all of Google Marketing Platform) are slowing my Firefox to a grinding halt, often times even crashing the tab.

I wish there would be a better syntax for the different overflow behaviors like n.checked_mul(m) and n.saturating_mul(m). Actually I'm not sure what should have been the default, but not only panicking for overflow in debug but not release mode is often hiding the problems.

Could the inbox features be implemented by a mail application for "non-gmail mail" (i.e. imap) or does it require some special gmail sauce?

> FIDO2 can be used as a replacement for a username/password, so you can go to a site, insert your FIDO2 key and log in without any other information.

Technically U2F can be used to design passwordless scheme too (returning a big array of all key handles known to a service) but FIDO2 probably has some optimizations in this area.

I agree. I have been hosting my mail on Zoho for almost 2 years now and it's been pretty solid. The cool thing is you can use your own domain with their free tier if you don't need a lot of space. Also, using exchange active sync protocol, you get push email on iOS.
I sort of hope GeoJSON takes off a bit more, it just seems easier to work with at the very minimum with things like Leaflet. Of course you have Bing which uses their own objects for their latest rendition of the Bing Maps v8 JS API. Thankfully using Leaflet we were able to use their imagery instead. Having dealt with Shapefiles I can say it definitely felt like dealing with something quite dated, especially compared to how much simpler JSON can be.
People build tools for use. Software projects are an example of this. A lens I find helpful is to view a software project as a "process (or game) of transforming shared and individual understanding (or belief), into a tool or artefact". The project falls short if the understanding is not valid or the tool is poorly built or if the tool doesn't encapsulate the understanding or if circumstances change and the tool becomes less useful.

Transferring valid understanding into the final artefact is a key constraint in many projects (reading Goldratt and thinking of this transfer of understanding as a constraint was helpful for me)

There are many ways to fail. Some of the traditional ways to succeed are

i) rely on an individual who really understands the desired tool, and who has the authority and skill to communicate and be the final arbiter (including sometimes to write it all themselves). Sometimes this can be also done by a small group.

ii) write a really clear, well-written, very hard to misinterpret document and get professionals to develop and test this system (before the document goes significantly out of date)

iii) Run an agile process where the business can describe what they want in small pieces that can be delivered so quickly that little understanding is lost

Obviously what works is massive contextual, depending on the domain, funding, resource reqts etc. (Glen Alleman is good on this)

So I would argue 'good software tools for requirements' are critically dependent on your approach for how you are going to turn 'understanding' into a 'system', and you don't want to worry too much about them until you are happy with your approach. At that point you can start building your 'meta-tools'.

Monzo was really great to use, and a step in the right direction for banks, so nice job with that! I ended up closing my account when you switched to being a 'proper' bank, but for the couple of months I used it, it was very good.

>In my testing, I found surprising differences. To test how much each browser taxes my system, I loaded the same 10 sites on each browser and watched them gorge on my MacBook’s RAM. Chrome, a notorious resource hog, took up the most memory, with Safari and Opera close behind. Firefox, though, required 30% less RAM than Chrome to run the same stuff.

>Among mobile browsers (which I tested on an iPhone XS and a Google Pixel 2 XL), the differences were smaller. Surprisingly, in every single case, mobile browsers outperformed their desktop counterparts. They’re faster to load pages, able to crunch through more intense web apps and generally just better browsers.
He said the shortest implementation, not the shortest execution. I think he meant that the easiest solver to "code" is to just remember the scramble and reverse it.

You can see from the videos that it is not doing that though. The solution is not the trivial reverse of the scramble.
Lots of people used their real name on the internet early on. Some didn't, especially if discussing particularly sensitive or controversial things, certainly, but most of my early conversations online were with people using their real names.

When I first got on irc in '94, I often exchanged name and phone numbers with people within hours of talking to them, and more than once I met people in real life within hours of talking to them. Nobody batted an eyelid at that at the time.

The panic over people giving out their real name started first years later, especially as people started getting worried about strangers talking to children more than anything.
The comment you're replying to mentioned the shortest implementation, as in the size of the program written to solve the problem.

I believe you're talking about the the optimal shortest path to the solution, which while true, relevant and interesting, isn't contrary to the point.

Basically the problem was datacentre network reliability, power reliability, and the pointlessness of having one EU datacentre which isn't reliable enough to run production out of. We'd still need to replicate to a second datacentre for multi-site safety.

At that point, why bother? We'd have to run two EU datacentres to have data only in EU, and we'd still be under the same actual legal jurisdiction (Australia) either way, so it would be security theater rather than an actual change in risk. We haven't ever given data to US authorities directly, we point every single request from anyone to the Mutual Assistance Treaty with Australia, and that would be the same regardless of where servers are.

In summary, having servers in the EU is 99% security theater, and the other 1% is pointless unless we had two datacenters who were as reliable as NYI have been for us. We haven't found such partners.

> Brave actually offers a way to pay for content, if I understand it correctly.

And that's great if a large volume of your visitors are using Brave, but that's certainly not the case for us. Granted, this is anecdata, but I suspect that it holds true for many other sites.

(On a personal note, I'm afraid I object to Brave simply on the basis of its gratingly pretentious name: I've known plenty of people who are brave, whether it's because of things they've done, or because of terrible suffering they've endured, but I'm afraid I see nothing about that web browser to justify the name.)
The only Go apps that I’ve knowingly used are from Hashicorp - Nomad, Consul and Vault and they were all running on Windows.

I don't think Gmail is considered an adversary, it's just that you can now no longer log in to Gmail without also logging in to the same account in Chrome, which is a stupid non-user-friendly feature.

'His feelings extended to programming of any kind, including advertising and entertainment watched by very young children. In a speech given at an academic conference at Yale University in 1972, Fred Rogers said, “The impact of television must be considered in the light of the possibility that children are exposed to experiences which may be far beyond what their egos can deal with effectively. Those of us who produce television must assume the responsibility for providing images of trustworthy available adults who will modulate these experiences and attempt to keep them within manageable limits.”'

I think this post from FastMail says it better than I do: https://fastmail.blog/2016/12/10/why-we-dont-offer-pgp/

Here are some arguments:

1. if it's encryption in the browser via a web interface, then it's not secure; the moment a web form asks for a password that can be used to decrypt your data, that's the moment your alarms should go off, because in spite of the claimed E2E encryption, their security might actually be worse than Google's

2. with email you're communicating with the world and the email world is not encrypted; what this effectively means is that ProtonMail keeps your email encrypted only while it is at rest; maybe it's better than what Google does, but they can still see whatever comes in or goes out in plain text and you're still relying on their promise to do no harm

3. ProtonMail needs to use a "bridge" in order to be compatible with email clients; this means that access to ProtonMail is non-standard (e.g. SMTP, IMAP) and therefore you still have the lock-in of Gmail, only it's now worse

4. It creates a false sense of security. If you want real information security, better tools are needed; various chat apps are much better, plus actual GPG ... because the PGP model requires a "chain of trust" that you have to maintain yourself for actual security
Definitely, there are problems with online data gathering, security, and exploitation. Cambridge Analytica is just the tip of an iceberg, but a major example nevertheless. It revealed how the democratic process can be manipulated. By gathering big data one of the cornerstones of the modern state has been moved. GDPR is no solution IMHO, instead of securing private information it forces ISPs to store it, and if it is stored somewhere, there will be ways to access it for whatever reasons. I'm not surprised that VPN market is on the rise, VPNs like NordVPN, VPN unlimited, PIA, Zenmate, and many others offer encryption services, hide your IP (location security), some claim to keep absolutely no logs. You can never be 100% certain that all your online information will be inaccessible, but taking additional steps to secure it is better than putting blind trust in governmental agencies.

I don't think one is much harder than the other (since solver algorithms already are a solved problem), the hardware seems more impressive to me than whether you put software on it that tracks and reverses movement or has a solver algorithm in it.

From the video it looks like a solver algorithm by the way, and not going for least amount of movements either, it seems to move much more during the solve than the movements the person did. To save battery they should go for optimal amount of moves!
I adopted a better tone in one of the replies higher up, but I do not believe I substantially misrepresent the argument (which is now flagged so I can't see it anymore).

Also the CoC explicitly gives a list of examples on what is decent/indecent behavior. It's a good one to me. Ultimately the answer is the same as with anything in a collaborative group: The group has to come to a consensus on what is and isn't decent. What we are experiencing right now is that this consensus is shifting.

Also, yes, there are examples of CoCs being used to bully people, or people making stupid decisions. These have usually been quickly reverted. [1]

But overall I have seen a lot more whinging reactions along the lines of "how dare you put your politics here!" than actual examples of abuses. And remember the information asymmetry here. Every abuse of a CoC is by definition public, and therefore also ultimately the community has a lot of options to correct such abuses. On the other hand, people who drop out because they find the atmosphere in a group toxic rarely go public. I've certainly dropped out of groups for that reason without mentioning it anywhere.

[1] Remember the "fork their repository" and dongle jokes debacle from a few years back? The outcome of that was that the accused was initially quickly fired (institutional overreaction to a ridiculous accusation), but ultimately got a new job immediately. The accuser on the other hand got a whole ton of abuse, lost her business, and last I checked was still out of a job. The idea that on balance the social power has shifted too far into the direction of the accusers is absurd to me. It just does not fit the world I observe. Every public accuser still get's harassed a lot. There are still plenty of incentives to not publicly accuse.

Everybody is hoping something other than shape files eventually takes off, as its's universally agreed to be a pretty terrible format. The problem is that the industry hasn't unified around a single format with GeoJSON, GeoPackage and to a lesser extend KML all trying to become the next shape file.

As it stands however, everybody and everything can read shape files and that cannot be said about any other format.
I still don’t get why they removed it. MagSafe was a great thing. Sure some people got things stuck in the connector but that is a much smaller problem than having your laptop pulled along with the cable when someone trips on your charger.
