Am I wrong, or is there still nothing that handles security in the API Gateway?

For example, suppose you want to do OAuth in the gateway instead of building it into every API. I couldn't see anything to handle a use case like that. The best I see is that it can probably handle one-way SSL, but I'm not clear on how it would handle mutual authentication or verification of client certs (pinning, CRLs, or OCSP).

It's a lot of work to build that into APIs separately and a lot of people who use API Gateways prefer to have the gateway itself handle security.
>Can we do away with this now please. Amazon paying the taxes it can't avoid doesn't act as an excuse for avoiding the taxes that they do avoid.

Can we do away with the notion that companies shouldn't pay the amount of taxes required by the law? What should Bezos tell the accountants? Pay 15% above whatever the required amount is? 20%?
Ah, no, that would be a separate problem.

I wasn’t suggesting that meta’s naturally cycle, but that the ideal meta (for human play, based on my experience on what people enjoy about pvp games that aren’t purely emphasizing skill) is one that lacks an optimal strategy, because the usage of an optimal strategy implies its own downfall, and that this meta-countering operation is acyclic. (A cyclic meta is likely created by accident, and kills the pvp community if left as-is)

And notably, a random strategy selection being optimal is non-ideal for human consumption. And as you note this doesn’t naturally occur in human pvp, because there are heavy natural biases (information spread, natural leaders in the subject, limited skillsets, time for the community to learn between dev balance shifts, etc). But even if we could have it, I don’t think we’d want it.

I think what competitive pvp wants are somewhat obvious optimal solutions, with natural counter-play. But these near-optimal solutions are tied to the current popular strategy. That is, half the fun is figuring out what the community at large is up to, and tracking it.

Which, finally, implies that the kind of games that grow a significant pvp community are naturally selected because they offer no clear, and static, optimal strategy. If an ML program did find such a strategy (outside of requiring superhuman capabilities, like zerglings dodging siege tanks), it would either kill the community, or get patched out. You could consider the ML algorithm as competing with an adverserial meat learning algorithm, in both strategy and spirit
It would be interesting to see if there is a corresponding trend in overall commuting distances. If people are commuting further for some reason, than bike commuting becomes less of an option. One reason could simply be labor market churn, and the fact that it might be easier to change jobs than to change housing.

I've been a year round bike commuter, but am fortunate to have worked the same job for 20 years. Likewise for my spouse. But that's pretty rare.

I doubt that I could justify bike commuting on solely practical grounds. I gain a great deal of enjoyment from it, and it's my main source of exercise.

You need to look up the difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance. If Amazon was evading taxes and there was any evidence of it, they would be hit hard by the IRS.
Simple.

I've done a shit ton of research on Corporate Surveillance in the past and there are a lot of signs of a big discrepancy of what people think what is stored about them in TAO and what is _really_ stored about them in TAO. (For those of you who are not that into Facebook, infrastructure and/or devops: TAO is Facebook's graph database)

One of the keywords here is "shadow profiles" or the nodes and edges within the graph which are actually there but you can't directly influence as a user. A good example would be the former colleague of a close family member who never disclosed their place of work and without a current account whom Facebook decided to recommend as a "friend" to another family member who currently has a Facebook account but without an actual past or live connection between the two -- true story, I shit you not.

So it's better to stay silent than proof yet again that there is a profound case for GDPR-like regulation - like Brandon Eich recently recommended - in the United States.

The distinction is between traditional config management and instances vs. Kubernetes. I could've seen similar benefits running k8s in AWS. I simply chose GKE because it's superior to other offerings.

There are other things to like about GCP vs. AWS, but that's a bit tangential.
I have no numbers, but it's not my experience in Minneapolis, where I see more people riding, at least some of the time. (And most don't ride all year here, although winter bike commuting is also more popular in my experience.)

There certainly are bad drivers, but I don't encounter things other commenters have mentioned, like people yelling. In fact I've noticed better behavior by drivers in the last ten–15 years, like people in cars much more willing to yield when I'm crossing a road from a bikeway.

More recently the city has been adding more protected bike lanes, and is now working on better maintenance in the winter, which is ok now but the biggest downside.
I'll add my experience as a primary bike commuter for 5+ years in the US. I do own a car and drive it maybe twice a week, mainly for transporting things that would be difficult on my bike or when the weather is bad.

I perceive people behind the wheel to be increasingly reckless, entitled, and disrespectful. A lot of the reasons for this are already mentioned so I won't rehash the issues of distraction by smartphone, "sharing economy" de-professionalization of shared transportation, and driver resentment towards anybody not in a personal automobile claiming their lawful space on the road.

Somebody needs to mention that each and every person who drives a car is contributing to undeniable, irreversible climate destruction, and plausibly a future earth that won't be able to support human prosperity. EVs really are not much better than ICE vehicles - replace some fossil fuel consumption with enormous mineral extraction and it's a toss-up at best.

There are also a lot of (in)equity issues in our current transportation system that need to be sorted out. Cars reinforce the wealth gap by virtually ensuring economic success for those who can afford them while leaving those who can't out in the cold. Eisenhower's "drive" (pun intended) to build the US interstate system adopted and encouraged common, preexisting local policies that carved up any neighborhood where minority communities could begin to take hold, replacing them via eminent domain with freeways for white suburban commuters.

In sum, cars are bad. But they're so deeply seated in the collective USA brain stem that I'm not sure we will be able to do much to improve the situation.
I once landed a job by telling the CEO something like, "If you're doing it right, programming is all about replacing yourself with automation."

In Cybernetics there is a formal measure called Variety which is something like a limit or measure of complexity of a system. Programming can be considered the art of extracting the low-variety parts of a process into automation, leaving the high-variety parts to the (high-variety) humans. This process itself is low-variety. Therefore, from first principles, programming is automatable. Our programming environments will eventually look like automatic systems that we instruct with our intentions, and then they consult us as oracles to determine the high-variety parts of the necessary process, having automatically computed the low-variety parts.

In fact, this is already happening as fast as people can accept it. The limiting factor is not in the machines (they are already superbly fast) but in the psychology of the people involved. Most of the research and much of the technology already exists and is in many cases decades old. (Cf. "The Mother of All Demos" and Prolog.)

As time goes on, given the exponential nature of the meta-process, it will feel like a step function for many of us: one day relevant and employable, then the next day replaced by a machine and unemployable, and unable to learn the next thing fast enough to beat the masses of your peers competing against you in the same boat.

I realized all this years ago, and have been asking peers and coworkers, "If you could write a program that could replace yourself, would you?" However, to date, no one has taken the question seriously.

I find this article, appearing in a non-geek publication, to very heart-warming. Maybe people are finally catching on?

Anyhow, this is why e.g. Universal Basic Income is important: You're going to need it sooner rather than later.

Unless there is some essential economic activity that humans can perform that machines can't we are all on the "discard pile" of history.

I actually think we'll just mellow out and enter a Golden Age, but again, only as fast as we can accept it. Certainly the Universe is willing for us to live in peace and harmony, it's up to us to choose to, or not.
In the language of the spec, it does “operate” inside the machine. Well, the spec says “execute” but that’s even more likely to be confused with a runtime thing.

None of fastai is backwards compatible with v0.7 - although the API has a similar structure, so it shouldn't be hard to rewrite. PyTorch v1.0 also has some big differences to the version we used in the course.

Exactly this. I've spent the last year or so studying Ford. His whole point was that if people didn't have the money to buy his product or time to use it (he reduced work hours as well) then your business will never survive. He wasn't banking on employee sales, he was looking at employees as a snapshot of a wider market.

Great example is fast food as well. If you are offering the "lowest cost" food option, and providing the minimum wage, you've got product/purchasing power that are both at the bottom of the food chain. And if employees can't afford to buy your food... then who is going to? Your product doesn't match the market you'd supposedly be selling to.

This is why Ford is considered the creator of the middle class. He took automation and used it as a way to set a different standard for society, one that inherently helped his own product succeed in the long run.

Why is Bezos doing this? Because Amazon succeeds when people have more disposable income. And it starts with his company. sure he might get regulated to do it anyways, but now he is pushing the needle. Regulators might push an overall minimum wage hike to $15 because "if amazon can do it, why cant you?" The merits of that hike aside, know who stands to benefit from people having more money to spend? Amazon.
In another change, Amazon will phase out its Restricted Stock Unit program for order fulfillment and customer service employees who are paid hourly. Those workers currently receive shares of stock if they meet certain conditions. But the company says the employees have said "they prefer the predictability and immediacy of cash to RSUs."

For those hourly workers, Amazon plans to replace its RSU grant program with a direct stock purchase plan by the end of 2019. The net effect, the company says, will mean "significantly more total compensation" for the workers.

You're assuming that nobody ever has to restore from backup or reset their phone. Reasonable people might disagree with you on this point.
> Amazon paying the taxes it can't avoid doesn't act as an excuse for avoiding the taxes that they do avoid.

Blaming companies for doing something the law allows them to do is ridiculous. If you don't think they should be allowed to do that, why do you have a law that allows them to? Fix the law, e.g. by replacing corporate income tax with VAT, so they can't avoid it, and then they won't.
>and finding other companies who are probably paying employees to do the same thing. Then start your own company that does whatever this task is as a service.

Careful, if it gets out that you wrote the code to automate your job as a coder while actually at your job, your company most likely owns that IP.
You can do an encrypted backup of your iPhone via iTunes, archive it and then move it to whatever you want to. You can also put that backup inside some sort of encrypted container before you upload. You might feel like its redundant to 'double encrypt' your backup, but iOS wont back up a bunch of stuff if you don't encrypt the backup, so you should still do it.

You can also use some sort of E2E backup software like arq or restic, dig through it's archives and download your iphone backup that way.

The biggest difference is that Teleport is a full MITM for all apiserver traffic, leveraging the cluster-local certificate authority for short-lived creds (similar to how K8s internal bits such as the kubelet speaks TLS to the apiserver). Notably this also works with completely air-gapped clusters or end-users, or clusters where you want access to apiserver to be via egress (hidden bastion) only.

K8s authentication methods that go inline with the apiserver, such as oidc or dex, achieve the same goals but are a bit of a different design flavor and arguably less clean from a threat or failure model perspective.

I explicitly said I didn’t blame the grads in my original comment, at least not nearly as much as businesses that keep facilitating economic demand for those credentials.
From a former Amazon employee's blog:

"New Amazon Tier One employees receive a small number of restricted stock units (RSUs) within the first month of hire. These shares are set to vest after two years of continuous service. For every year of continuous service, an employee receives another small number of shares of restricted stock, always vesting two years of service later. For example, I received four shares on 8/27/14 set to vest on 8/31/16. I received four more shares on 4/2/15 set to vest on 7/1/17. I received three shares on 4/7/16 set to vest on 6/16/18."
Keras doesn't support PyTorch, so it's not exactly an alternative. But it would be fair to call it an inspiration for fastai.
