I've read the FAQ item and I'm sorry to say that it seems written by somebody talking out of their behind, giving legal advice to boot.

Sure, once in the hands of the Russian FSB, Italian Mafia or Nicolas Maduro, any detectable amount of random data could result in torture - just to be on the safe side, maybe there is a hidden volume there after all.

But in any state where rule of law is observed, the prosecution must establish probable cause and, once in court, prove beyond reasonable doubt that the illegal act was indeed committed - in this case, failure to disclose the encryption key of a locked volume. So there must exist corroborating evidence that should exclude any reasonable accidental or normal situation that could produce the random data. For example, a border agent could testify that he saw illegal material on your device's screen and a random file could be found in your home directory. In your device history, traces to a missing volume or partition could remain etc. The defense can easily explain away a partition initialized to random, if that's what standard system tools produce in their normal configuration and no other corroborating evidence exits.

A LUKS header is a clear indication that another encryption configuration was/is used on the computer, so you would then be compelled to give explanation about it's presence, it's password, the provenance of the laptop etc. The explanations given in the FAQ (experiment, random swap) are unconvincing if they are not corroborated by other patterns, for example modification timestamps on /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab and so on.

So the absence of the LUKS header really does fill a practical gap, and it happens that most legal systems today are squeezing harder and harder into that gap. Unlike the dubious claims in that FAQ entry, Truecrypt hidden volumes actually have established legal precedent.
Now also imagine the drone hit the windscreen, and not the wing. Or went into the prop / engine. Or hit the tail and damaged the rudder.

The leading edge of the wing is likely the best case scenario. All others probably result in far more serious consequences.
In a situation where there are many running containers a security patch could be applied across the board and still have confidence that running apps are not affected. This would be a case by case situation if they were all Dockerfiles.

I feel this article doesn't understand what "learning at your own pace" means.

Yeah sure you can say "learners need this environment, this attendance, etc" but you're falling into the trap of what we have right now -- we think we know what's best for people to learn.

And while true for many people they definitely WILL learn with established practices, not everyone will learn as well as they could.
"Aeroponics" is indeed a good option but it does not need the "high" pressure pumps. We can pump with very low powered pumps. We, actually, formulate our own nutrients. We are about to start testing our automatic IoT solution to mix nutrients, measure the temperature pH and EC. Right now, we do the testing manually and we can slide the EC by a factor of 0.1 easily.

For those interested here is a video of our lab. Our structures are vertical for our research. However, our commercial (big) deployments will be flat or an "A" system. Right now, we are leveraging the abundance of sunlight in the tropics (India). We can produce 10x the traditional farming without any stacking but at a fraction of the cost of other hydroponics/Aeroponics setup.

Precocity means early identification of potential in a given field.

Early identification of that potential means individuals and institutions around the individual start to dedicate resources towards their development.

Having resources dedicated to that development means such individuals can specialize and focus without having to spend as much (or, perhaps, anything) in terms of time/resources on normal life-supporting activities.

Early identification also means investment of attention which accrues in reputation (and probably compounds in much the same way early financial investment does), which means less time spent having to convince people to give you opportunities.

Basically: there's a path-dependent element to success / prestige. Precocity is not the only route but it helps so much that of course it's often correlated with recognized genius.
Several of my colleagues have multiple passports, simply because they travel often. They can travel with one passport, while the other is sent to the embassy for the next trip's visa.

Two of them are British, as am I. I looked into the process, but then changed the focus of my work and didn't need to travel so intensely. Essentially, I would have sent in a normal passport renewal form, and attached a letter saying "I'm going to X countries in the last Y months, so need a second passport". "I'm going to X as well as Y" is an equally valid reason.

> You won’t be able to run a business the American way in Germany, not would you be able to it vice versa.

This thread is incredibly vague. I bet there is significant if not majority overlap between the two.

Back to Dale Carnegie, his advice about not telling people "you are wrong" and getting to know them is some of the best and simplest advice I've ever received, and transcends time and space.
Insider anecdotes: security bugs were considered P0s when I was at Google, i.e. "drop everything and fix it immediately", where "everything" also included things like dinner and sleep (if a security bug was reported in the middle of the night, the on-call SRE had authority to roll back to the last known good version and have engineering fix it in the morning and go through the normal review process). That created a pretty strong incentive not to introduce security bugs.

There was also a strong defense-in-depth culture, where we'd strive to avoid introducing security bugs in the JS, but the frameworks would also defend against them, and the GFEs (load balancers) would themselves detect intrusion attempts, as would the webservers, which would be architected so that bad data would be rejected & logged rather than triggering undefined behavior, and so on. So if a bug was discovered, it usually wouldn't be exploitable, and the whole time the hacker is trying to exploit it they have Google's security team working against them (and potentially calling up their ISP saying "The user with IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is trying to hack us, could you kick them off the Internet so we don't have to block your whole IP range?")
All the ones I've looked at have been shell, as Buildpacks are used to build systems. Python would work too.

They're useful, but they're not an 'invention' or a 'technology' any more than any other bootstrap shell script is.
I looked into it, but it seems pretty risky? Especially since if u miss the schedule to most every hr the plant dies very quickly
Thanks for the feedback. We plan on insisting on the "Free" aspect on the V.2 of our website so it's clear that it is free for the individual user. Once we price for teams we'll have a dedicated page.
>That means "your" automation is really your boss's capital, and you have no rights to be perpetually compensated for it.

That is the crux right there.

If you automate something and don't tell your boss then you have cheated the capital owning class out of their right to all capital.
While I agree with the sentiment, to be fair to the original poster, they did say "on the market," which I take to mean "available for sale to members of the general public," which most more-advanced entrants like Waymo can't claim.
> Lets face it if they admitted that we could make business decision well there wouldn't be much need for them.

Are you just making these decisions off the top of your head? Or are you talking to people, having research done, soliciting feedback, etc? In the latter case, congrats, now you're a manager! :p (If you're at a small company, you've probably still got enough time to do some hands-on work too...)

IME bad technical managers don't occur at any higher frequency than bad engineers; I haven't worked in other industries to know what it looks like there.

But you get a lot more immediate pain working for a bad manager than next to a bad engineer...
I agree, I definitely meant to refer only to the Surface Pro.

I wish the Surface Laptop had USB-C, and I'm not a fan of how expensive the Surface Book is, but I recognize the Surface Book might be awesome for certain people.
Why doesn't anyone do a deal with comma.ai? They actually have a product that kind of works with just handful of people.

Edit: Why all the down votes. Go check out some of the videos. It works pretty well. Its a level 2 system so the user still needs to pay attention to the roads which is true with any lkas system out now days.
It was nuts, because the penalties increased. To be able to stand up against the SEC for 48 hours he paid another $10m (compared to the original deal), paid the board $20m (in purchased stock), and lost the chairmanship for 3 years instead of 2.

That’s pretty expensive for 48 hours worth of grand standing.

There’s no way to cast the decision to fight and then fold in a positive light. It would’ve been much easier, and introduced far less stock turmoil if he’d just accepted the first offer instead.
Perfect candidate for genetic control via CRISPR if viable.

Could you imagine what our ancestors would say if they knew we had the technology to successfully kill a pestilence? It would seem like complete madness. They would think us insane for not using it.

And just like that, New Zealand has entered my list of no-fly countries.
No, themselves.
A fair number of people are doing this in small CSA operations, etc.

The main issue isn't can you do it, but can you make anything like a living wage doing it. Lots of variables in that equation.

Course completion metric is one of the worst metric to use to evaluate online courses/MOOCs. It is quite obvious that for other forms of traditional there is an investment that is being made by the student so of course they are encouraged to keep going. People spending money on something is a signal that they are highly motivated to take the course.

For MOOCs, there are very few entry requirements so of course you can going to get low completion rate because lots of people are just "window shopping" so to speak.
Nobody automates so they can spend the same amount on labor.
While I agree that roundcube is really basic when compared with Gmail, I'd say that if you follow the convention that Gmail is nothing more than a webmail client (i.e.: a place you access through a browser to receive, read and send emails) then roundcube is exactly that. No bells or whistles though.
>Americans don't want to do back-breaking manual labor for a living

This makes me wonder...

Autonomy is the biggest hurdle for these technologies and manual labor is the reason they are needed. Why aren't we meeting halfway and using remote controlled robots instead of autonomous ones?

That way workers could do the job from anywhere in the world without having to break a sweat and you'd only need a fraction of the investment to get it running.
These are a lot of the things I would want to say if I had near any authority on the topic.

>Participate in discussions instead of just listening. If you are wrong, then you learned something at least.

I feel being a part of the discourse is especially important and is still something I'm learning to do. There are a few times I wanted to contribute but believed what I had to say was already obvious to everyone else or to at least the people with more expertise and it turned out not being the case. Still, consider choosing your fights and

No, a phone should give the exact number for that exact phone, since that is whom I want to call back, should I need to. That phone may be manned by more than one individual (in case of shift work), but nobody should have to go through a phone tree.
I think he is referring to websites that are now blocking all EU users because of GDPR.

I'm surprised companies aren't just pulling the same move porn/alcohol websites use with age by asking the user if they are an EU citizen/in the EU and if they answer yes, send them to a static "we don't service the EU" page at which point everyone just lies so they can still access the page with the tracking.
Yep. I've never had to demonstrate that my devices are real at the security checkpoints getting into airports, I just put them in the trays and the X-ray scanners tell the agents that they're safe.

Now, dealing with the customs/pre-clearance checkpoints, that's another matter.
I think he means that our reality has become a hellscape where this is a product with willing customers.

I don't know what the situation is in Europe, but in the US farmers use a lot of power. They have welders and other such tools that can draw 50 amps or more. The motors for their drying fans are drawing 20 amps each (and several of them can run at once). Note that the above amp figures are at 240 volts just like power in Europe, not the lower 120 we use for lights and fridges.
In the 2010 census middle eastern (Arab/Persian/N African) also counted as white.
1. Indeed we've removed it as it really made the interface distracting (with numbers on every app). We could imagine having this information on hover on the next version of the dock. We just want to make sure we don't make the dock too messy with information (once you add up notification number, profile icon, etc.) it starts looking really overwhelming.

2. Good point, that's something we'll keep in mind once we start focusing on notifications again.
I would argue that you should be able to and then follow that up as to why its prohibitive (and what prohibitive means)?

At least on the library side, there tends to be a default-to-trust to the point where large projects put dependencies on libraries that are built by literally one-guy-with-a-github. I posit that developers should be more critical of including dependencies, and factors like "can we guarantee support" and "how do we know it doesn't have malware, both now and in the future, and who can we hold responsible if it does" should be considered for every dependency we add. As it is, I find a lot of developers will uncritically slurp in any dependency or library that saves them a bit of effort.

If the tooling isn't there to help with this problem then it should be built.
Sounds like when I early adopted digital photography. My friends with proper cameras told me how much there was to film grain, how they loved playing with chemicals and the rest of it. They sneered at my passion for digital photography claiming it was dull. Where are they now, on Instagram with an iPhone.
The sheer amount of airplanes in the sky at anytime is incredible. Also designated no fly zones can change and users may be unaware. So to avoid this issue I think we need to do more than just depend on users knowing where they can fly and not.

How Angel Marketplaces Operate?
I'm the opposite. When searching for lectures on youtube, I filter to remove anything shorter than 20 minutes and then ignore anything that's still under an hour.
That's a good point - you don't even have to kill anyone to effect a pretty significant scare. How much would it cost to buy enough drones to shut down an airport by having them hover in front of the runways? And how quickly could they be taken down?
The two sources is different, so it might be good to be wary about comparing them. Could be right though.

But anyway, these average ages may be due to little used old cars being taken out of registry, to avoid annual fixed taxes? This has not much impact on the average age of cars used in daily traffic.

FWIW, I'm from Finland, also with a history of high car purchase taxes, and the average in above data is almost 12 years. The oldest cars, however, have lower annual car tax (they had the highest tax at purchase time).

BTW I understand Denmark was about to lower the car purchase tax from 180 % to 100 % or so?
Get out. Save yourself, while you still can.
what kind of REMOTE is OK ?
I grew up in a farming area.

Farm workers at harvest time are almost Olympic-level endurance athletes.

Most Americans who show up don't last a day in the fields.

So no, $100/hour won't inspire more than a few workers who have alternatives.
Sure, you're welcome to skip straight to step 2. :)
5GHz is a godsend for anyone in a dense neighborhood, apartment building, etc. Range isn't the issue for arguably the majority of WiFi users, it's interference.

That's not to say that improvements to 2.4 aren't welcome; they are simply suitable for different applications.
Sure but I think that to an extent you can have healthy superposed groups and lifestyle. After a threshold the city becomes some kind of factory.
Hi,

It can be rough to manage Kubernetes when you just want to focus on your app. I was having that same problem when building side projects and focused on building a platform to deploy dockerfiles on a managed Kubernetes instance.

Since I can't reply directly to the Marshal plan comments:

The Marshal Plan gave much less money to Germany than to anyone else, per capita.

Greece received, per capita, about 3 times what Germany got. The UK, with a smaller population than Germany, received 3,297 million, while a larger Germany got 1,448 million.

Why the downvote by the way?
I have no numbers but it seems a charging station is simpler. No gas tank to bury, no risk of leakage, no fire hazards.
ARGH! Now it all makes a bit more sense. Triplebyte is a YC alumni, and that's why they're allowed to spam HN.

I got downvoted in the comments of another spam post of theirs because I made a snarky remark. I think they have mod access here -- they can delete your comment, make it invisible, etc. I think they're deleting comments in this very thread right here.

I'm just tired of seeing your ads everywhere, Triplebyte.
You're right, I am an engineer. You have found me. But, I have a job that I plan on staying at for years.
May I please, please be excused from the endless barrage of triplebyte "stories"? (not "spam", guys, OK? that word is not to be used anymore in 2018)
> Aren't young people allowed to, well, be young though?

Working all-nighters to the point your health starts to suffer is not being young. It's exploitation the likes of which the chapters on the industrial revolution warn us about.

More importantly, we as a society should actively discourage this sort of abuse. It makes no sense to let our health waste away just because a manager wants to boast about a target or a deadline.
The net is slightly positive for the US, but the effect size is relatively small

The benefit comes mainly from lower borrowing costs. The harm comes from the higher exchange rate that hurts competitiveness of US exports.

Disclaimer: I am a former engineer at edX.

Bingo! Although the completion rate was low—single digit—more students completed the the first 6.002x offering on edX than have completed the course at MIT in the entire history the course has been offered. As others have mentioned, the completion rate will always be low for numerous reasons. However, if you compare the raw number of students completing the courses, and the costs paid by students, MOOCs come out ahead.
This 58 number has been debunked repeatedly. There is very little incentive to transfer ownership to your children while you still have your faculties. When you are too old or infirm to farm at all you sell it to your kid or they get power of attorney and take it.

The average age of the oldest member of farming families is 58.
There are other attempts at disposal of dead satellites that don’t rely on a long-shot like the BFR [1]. Besides, maneuvering a big heavy spacecraft like that to match orbits with a bunch of little satellites would be tremendously wasteful in terms of fuel. A much better use would be to remove larger satellites like defunct communications satellites. These are actually a much bigger danger to orbital space as well. See this event for example [2], which generated over 2000 pieces of debris large enough to track and many more of a smaller size. Small satellites are not nearly as dangerous because when they are defunct their low mass causes them to renter faster.

(FYI I’m a PhD student in the lab that built the satellite in the article.)

floatrock previously pointed out that your statement about hybrids being exempt does not appear to be true:

"“In just 12 years, we will prohibit the sale of new diesel and petrol cars. And in 17 years, every new car in Denmark must be an electric car or other forms of zero-emissions car,” Rasmussen said, implying that hybrids will be phased out in 2035."
Hopefully you get over to Boston soon. It looks like you've got an actually decent recruiting process, but the Bay Area, LA and NYC are not places I would ever go live, for love or money, and while Seattle is charming, it's way the heck across the other side of the world.
For non black and white problems it makes more sense though. Discussing the best approach for something complex, for example.

Timing is important though, you don't want to intrude, interrupt or distract.
If you're talking about the Cessna planes I think you're talking about, this test doesn't apply because those don't travel at 238 mph. Actually I think that speed is typically subject to altitude requirements that would exclude most drones?

But also we're talking about tiny objects traveling through a giant 3-D space. If they meet, it was on purpose.
Do you have the source to your OS bootstrap code + jonesforth? I'd love to play around with that.
