> In 2014, former CIA and NSA director Michael Hayden said in a public debate, “We kill people based on metadata.”

> According to multiple reports and leaks, death-by-metadata could be triggered, without even knowing the target’s name, if too many derogatory checks appear on their profile. “Armed military aged males” exhibiting suspicious behavior in the wrong place can become targets, as can someone “seen to be giving out orders.” Such mathematics-based assassinations have come to be known as “signature strikes.”

It's not hard to imagine much bigger emergencies than 9/11.
Agreed. I notice that many MOOCs have this academic mentality that something must be complete and a certificate earned. I could really give a damn about a certificate. Gaining the knowledge I need is all I care about. Udacity really makes me mad when they remove courses that I paid for if I don't do every little exercise (even the ones that are so horribly designed and have little learning value in them).
Android device log for today's presidential alert. “is Presidential =: true”
European manufacturers are heavily investing in electric cars. You're perhaps blinded by local news -- then again I'm surely too, as I don't know of US companies other than Tesla that are doing something with electric.
Sounds like a fun time.
I originally posted this separately, but then saw your post and am adding it here. What you said and the below were some of the most profound realizations for me, even though it seems so obvious, but the extremely high degree to which this is true isn't that obvious.

People are incredibly hard to change.

Spent half a year teaching someone programming. They told me they wanted to learn, etc. Ended up doing most of the bootcamp work for them so I could explain it to them, etc. This person had 5 day breaks where they didn't study a single thing. This also goes with "look at what people do, not what they say, or how they present themselves."

That also comes down to "don't waste time on shitty people." I used to spend time with everyone because of naivety, then I realized just how precious that time is and a lot of people just waste it.
Totally disagree. Our startup use Kubernetes and Google Cloud and shipped an MVP in a few months. No operations people only devs and devops. Kubernetes is not perfectly set up yet and the logging has failed sometimes but we ship code to production many times per day and are really happy about not having to care about infrastructure that much.
Three nodes and Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL) goes a long way.
Sorry, meant to say "instead of" not "in favor of". I'll edit.

What I meant to say that if you haven't learned the proper classification system that we now have in general music theory (dominant & tonic chords, sus chords, and let's say basic modulation principles), you might walk a long time in the dark looking for "that feeling" or "that continuation".
"Presidential Alerts" is a terrible name in a time where presidents from either party tend to have about 40% approval or less. The name just automatically angers a significant portion of the population, no matter who the president happens to be. Considering that the presidency is a political position, it's not unreasonable to expect "Presidential Alerts" to be of a political nature, even though that is not how the system is intended to be used.

How about "National Alert System" or just continue calling it the "Emergency Alert System" (except now with new abilities). Put a procedure in place to let the president use it if needed.

Why are these labeled as "Presidential"?

The combination of being impossible to configure as filtered and naming leaves me with the distinct taste of living under an aspiring dictatorship in my mouth.
Probably because Google and Apple make essentially every phone in use and they agreed to ignore your settings in favor of the President's.

I guess the benefit of not having control is that you can't be accused of being a jerk for having it go off during a movie or in court or whatever, since you have no choice.

SERIOUSLY? Does it _HAVE_ _TO_ say "presidential alert"? Do I have to be reminded of "him" during a time of potential crisis?

What could "Cheeto-Satan" have to say in a real emergency that is of any value whatsoever?
True, it blocks Chrome's incognito. But it doesn't block Firefox's private browsing. Still, this is sketchy behavior from a publisher.
My iPhone X with iOS 12 made the siren noise, but no message appeared on the screen and I can't find any alert message in the notifications page, messages, or elsewhere. So I only got 1 bit of information :-(.
> I don't like seeing groups shoehorn welfare into other areas. If you've got an income (or cash welfare) problem, fix that.

And then the problem never gets fixed. You argue against this practice with the reasoning that the "income problem" should be solved directly. Simultaneously, others argue (loudly) against solving the "income problem" directly with the reasoning that practices like this are the answer. At every point, there's an alternative that can be used as an excuse to totally avoid solving or ameliorating the problem.

That was enough to take down a plane easily. Wings don't just sit there on the ground like in the video, they support the fuselage of the plane against serious aerodynamic forces.

They are under load, it's like taking out a bunch of columns at the ground floor of a building. Not to mention that wings are full of fuel, as well as the cables or hydraulic lines connected to the control surfaces.

I think the problem was more with the inverse claim - that everything you can not find a market for were automatically waste.
1. Never combine invoices - accounting bugs are difficult to spot and even harder to agree on.

I think 802.11-1997 works as 0 in this case. The implication from the Wi-Fi Alliance seems to be they are counting consumer hardware generations, and there doesn't seem to have been much consumer hardware that was directly 802.11-1997 (it took b to get consumer adoption). Which is why the order I've heard that makes the most sense is 1 (b), 2 (a), 3 (g), because that was roughly the consumer hardwave waves, with the brief (a) hardware wave the fun out-of-order one.
Yeah, this will not last. Noble effort, but this has copyright infringement written all over it.

I've got a slightly different take, though I think they have some overlap:

Capability for a job is more than raw competence, which is why most people reject the Brilliant Asshole, even when that person is genuinely brilliant.

I've seen some inarguably mediocre workers get some great roles – and I've worked alongside of some of them. And I loved every minute. If you're cranking out 65% of the work and make the team 400% more enjoyable to be on, that's a worthy form of force-multiplication.

The best teambuilders wield this principle smartly instead of meritocratically rejecting its existence.

This is a great thing to know in job interviews, and lots of otherwise irrational-looking hiring behavior becomes sane when viewed through this lens.
quite common. Many of my colleagues including myself will sign up for a course online only because we saw an interesting topic in one of their modules. We go straight for the module, learn what we want and move on, never complete the course.
This is actually a really interesting question. I imagine the complexity of the model to really accurately predict this would be practically unattainable currently.

You are introducing a new element to an environment without knowing how it would react to it. You could attempt to predict based on predators or food sources from its original environment and compare them to closest matches (if any) to the new environment.

This would make so many wild assumptions though that minor errors could result in cascading effects in a direction the model never predicted.

Doing some googling and found that there is the I = PAT equation which is just for human influence and is based on an extremely simplistic model. I think the nuances and details needed for an accurate ecosystem model would be several orders of magnitude more complex.

A model that could connect events like reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone with stopping erosion and other similar effects would be pretty incredible.
Start learning how to figure out what your customers want. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how pretty or scalable your code is if it doesn't solve real problems. I'm not saying that you shouldn't learn how to be a great developer, but a lot of great developers end up working for a series of companies that build cool technology but don't do well.

Ask whether you can sit in on calls with customers, either prospective or current. You will find out what they want, and whether your product is solving their problems.

Harvard has a very large endowment it uses provide free tuition and much more, but I would think the overall sentiment is positive about their actions. What about the Norway's sovereign fund? Why would it be different for an individual who wants to setup an organization to impact the world in some way in perpetuity?
If any FIDO experts are reading this, two technical questions:

1. Is there anything in the standard about proving to the server that you have a genuine FIDO device that meets certain standards, and not say a piece of software that is merely pretending to be a hardware security module? If so, I presume the Solo will come with whatever certification / digital signature is required?

2. My understanding of FIDO (v1) is that the only function a device has to offer is authentication through digital signature, so a FIDO v1 device is no use as an extra authentication factor to unlock a password manager without "cloud" support (such as pwsafe) as it doesn't provide you with anything that a hacker couldn't work around - as opposed to a token that stores a cryptographic key and releases it when you press the button (which you can set up a yubikey to do). Is this correct, and does FIDO2 change this situation?

Instances like this, makes me wish more/all companies had transparency to be able to view their data.
It's supposed to be for extremely serious situations only. If the bombs are going to start falling in five minutes, millions of lives could depend on everybody getting the word as soon as possible. An unskippable alert pushed out to every cellphone in the country is the best way in the modern age to ensure that happens.

As long as its use is restricted to only that kind of sky-is-falling situation, I don't have a problem with being unable to opt out. If Trump starts using it to advertise his latest rally, that would be an abuse of the system and pressure to let people opt out would start piling up rapidly.
Used correctly, these should be so infrequent that there's no legitimate reason to disable them. This is a broadcast, not a data collection, and if a missile is headed in your general area, literally every capable device should be telling you about it.
If the Yellowstone Caldera blows up or an asteroid hits, I want to know rather than wonder what happened and what I need to do. A system like this only needs to work once for it to pay off.

There's a limit to grinding it out alone. To grow as fast as possible, you need to learn from those who have already walked your path - you need mentors and good guidance. In both academics and business, social skills and gymming - to go fast, go alone, and to go far, go together.

The point is that unless you are fiddling with the kernel, a Windows laptop with WSL makes for a great workstation for software developers. Even if I only develop for Linux, for me it is either a Mac or Windows on the desktop (my pet peeve with Linux on the desktop is the several counterintuitive paste buffers).

Not sure why these need to be billed as "Presidential alerts" if they're for national emergencies, which is already the domain of FEMA. Call them "National emergency alerts". Presidential addresses (which the name suggests these are in the age of cord-cutters and smartphones) are for sympathy and calls for unity in the aftermath of disaster; if there's a hurricane or tornado bearing down on me, all I want is info straight from FEMA or the National Weather Service without having to be routed through the president first. Not to mention that referring to the president in any capacity is a great way to get half the country to dismiss a notification without reading it.
Huh. This competes with a raspberry pi plugged into a home network (and is likely more reliable).
The fact that you are calling him "Mr" Peterson says a lot of depressing things about you.
"AC only supports 5gz."

That's not an accurate statement. "802.11ac" denotes a set of features, and many of them apply to and benefit the 2.4 GHz band. For example 256QAM encoding boosts the max data rate by 20 or 33% on this band for, respectively, 20 and 40 MHz channels.
All the features you described are available right now. E.g. VW Golf has them off the shelf, and I‘m pretty sure the same is true for 2018 Kia/Hyundai cars. Honda is notorious for lots of assistance systems, I guess they don’t lag behind.

And those things also brake for other cars and pedestrians if they project that a collision would happen. There will be a lot less deaths caused by road accidents once everybody upgraded their cars. Exciting times!
Really? It sounded like all of the phones in my office alerted once and then stopped (though not all simultaneously, some took longer to receive it). What kind of phones are people using?

My ringer was off so I can't say personally.
Not just the textbook, but the teacher. The current teacher role will be supplementary and act more like a psychologist or counselor in keeping students on track, providing more one-on-one support, encouraging movement and release of physical energy, guiding students toward their own goals rather than dictating requirements, helping students recognize the value of learning, sending disruptive students to a separate (possibly more physically oriented) workspace, recognizing and helping students through mental health and other issues. Using MOOCs, content can be swapped out like battery packs. The counseling role is uniquely human and can become much deeper service than is currently available to students.
Not on mine.

Thanks for the response. LineageOS is just a fork of AOSP, and doesn't ship any google blobs that you would find in the android images from google and most manufacturers.
In that case, you should never buy anything, because anything manufactured might be donated if you hadn't bought it.
What? So you're mad for what reason exactly?

You can say that about most things - if something doesn't have an available market, other people will use the sub-optimal thing. I don't see why that's a problem or why people wouldn't pay money for something other people use for free.

If it makes you feel better, you can think of it as supporting farms, because once farms become unprofitable to run as a business, nobody will grow food.
It's shocking how tightly scoped one's mindset gets in these situations. The hull of the boat so easily becomes the bounds of the world. Every time I jump ship, I'm shocked by how quickly and painlessly the things I once thought were life-or-death fall away.
I don't think a little cell phone tone and alert is going to help much for a TEOTWAWKI event.

4. Collects lots of telemetry.
Yes, most of the above issues can be solved by digging into the settings and turning them off but they shouldn't exist in the first place.

> Waymo announced purchasing orders for 60,000 FCA Pacificas and 20,000 Jaguar IPaces to be converted into robotaxis. If we're to assume a crude ballpark estimate of $150K apiece for those vehicles, then we're talking a $12 billion just for that.

You do know that GM makes automobiles right? If GM wants 60,000 Chevy Cruises to use for robotaxis, they can just keep their lines running for a few extra shifts. Their cost for the same vehicles is COGS, which is something like half the MSRP of an automobile. Doing so would actual increase the profit margin on their products that are sold to outside customers. GM also has ~40% more revenue than Alphabet and could easily borrow $12 billion if it were strategically important.

Man people really don't understand the weight of traditional autos.

Here's a thought experiment for you: suppose that farming technology had developed which allows every fruit and vegetable grown to be "pretty" and saleable. Would it be immoral for farmers to stop producing "ugly" produce in that world?

If so, I think your argument is with capitalism, and not any one actor.

If not, what's the difference here?

Dockerfiles require you to rebuild lower layers when any upper layers change, even though the OCI image format doesn't care about this. Cloud Native Buildpacks can intelligently choose which layers to rebuild and replace. Additionally, certain layers can be updated en mass for many images on a registry (using cross-repo blob mounting, with no real data transfer!), which is useful for patching CVEs quickly at scale.

The samples take advantage of this (as well as a separate transparent cache) in order to demonstrate the different aspects of the formal spec. A simple buildpack is not necessarily much more complicated than a simple Dockerfile.
Because we all want to reject a lot of the same inconvenient truths of the world, and when we finally stop, it makes such an impact that we're excited to share. If 100 people instead of 2 tell me the same thing is important, I think that's more exciting than redundant.
