Kia Ora. I hope you still consider New Zealand. We have an island mentality, which means we treat borders pretty seriously. We don't have a wall, we have the Pacific ocean as our border, and Australia (known as the West Island).

If the idea that 540 people out of 3.7M international visitors get their phones inspected worries you, then that's a valid concern.

For perspective, we issued over 9000 biosecurity infringements for people bringing in fresh fruit, meat, honey, etc.
We use Fly and can confirm this is a Stellar team. Definitely recommend.

> I think it looks way worse to just let it limp along and slowly die. Fail fast, learn your lesson, and move on.

I'm sure Apple are well aware of the lesson and are simply doing the right thing for the folks who did invest in macOS as a server. It is possible for a company to learn their lesson and do the best thing they can for their customer. Apple's financial position enables them to give a much longer runway than a typical startup changing direction.
Governance in distributed organizations, part 2
"It's the 21st century, so maybe you should upgrade from 1992 to 2018! That's 26 years!"

I did upgrade: 128 MB FAST RAM, 64-bit MC68080 @ ~234 MHz with AMMX SIMD instructions, 16 GB industry grade CF and 8 GB microSDHC. OS 3.9 @ 1300 x 768 x 32-bit color HDMI.

"You really want a heavy weight like ZFS (which is a total memory hog, btw., I use it in my server) on Amiga hardware from 1992?"

Yes, I do, because as a Solaris engineer, I understand that ZFS will release memory due to memory pressure from applications, and can in fact run in memory constrained systems. Should be able to run on an Amiga with a Vampire accelerator and 129 MB of RAM. ZIL is auto tuned. Just don't use features like de-duplication and it'll be fine.

(My reboots take about three seconds, with or without the Vampire accelerator, and that's even with OS 3.9.)
Note that LastPass didn't autofill the password and the box stayed gray instead of red. That would tip off most LastPass users that the url was wrong.

Drug traffickers hide their drugs in an encrypted partition?

No sane criminal would bring illegal electronic data with him on a physical device... He'll just download it when he gets there.
The outer partition fills the entire SSD. It just happens to use a filesystem that packs its data from the beginning of the partition. So long as you don't ever use more than 50GB at a time, the inner partition is safe.
That ultimately doesn't matter. You tell them it's a travel phone, because you fear losing your expensive regular phone. Your social media accounts have elaborate, long passwords that would be impossible for a person to remember and are stored in a password manager at home (countless formulations you can go with in this story).

At that point there's nothing else they can get from you, the odds are overwhelming that'll be the end of the discussion. There's probably a one in a million chance that eg the TSA might detain you for a few hours out of spite if they think you're screwing with them.

Windfall Data | Lead Data Scientist, Data Engineer | SF | Full Time | ONSITE or REMOTE (US-based only)

At Windfall, our goal is to determine the net worth of every person in the world. Its a super hard problem with broad applications. We work with hundreds of non-profit organizations across the US to help them better understand and engage their donors. We also work with for-profit companies in a wide array of industries (finance, travel, hospitality & gaming, luxury goods, etc) to help them better understand their clientele and targeting affluent households for net-new acquisition.

Our team is still fairly small so every new hire will have the ability to make a huge impact!

We're looking for:

* An experienced data scientist to lead our team in developing our predictive models. Data and data science are core to our business, so this role will be incredibly influential in the success of the company.

* A seasoned backend/data engineer to help build our data pipeline and other infrastructure.

Roles are onsite in SF, or remote for the right candidate with prior remote work experience.

If you're interested in hearing more, send a message to cory@windfalldata.com

I made the explicit choice to avoid the COBOL trajectory in 2001 when I graduated from college. At the time the place I graduated from was working hard to graduate people with skills for the local industry (which was cobol, jcl, rpgIII, etc)

I don’t blame the college. But it was a choice and for me it was a good one.
Apollo Agriculture (https://apolloagriculture.com/) | Backend Software Engineer | Amsterdam, Netherlands | ONSITE | FULL-TIME

Apollo Agriculture is using satellite data to help bring modern farming to the worlds poorest farmers. Millions of farmers globally don't have access to the basic farm tools the rest of the world depends on for food production, good seed and fertilizer. We sell these proven agricultural tools on credit, and use satellite data and ML to figure out who we can lend to profitably.

We use Scala, Python/NumPy/SciPy (for science/ML), android and are heavy postgres users. We're building great software for places with low reliability networks and harsh environmental conditions. We're entering our third year and we can't keep up with the demand from smallholder farmers.

To apply, send me an email at earl@apolloagriculture.com
Even if one is good enough to recognise a good game regardless of one's feelings, I'd say it would be harder to work on a game type that doesn't appeal the artist. I hope that even if a sushi chef doesn't like squid, he like some of the sushi he'll be making.

Let's agree to disagree then.

It's one of those books that if you read it after 10 years of industry experience it will probably be dull and obvious, but it gives novices a toolbox for solving problems.
> But as the foundations of our system were being setup I don’t think that was really the case.

Why do you think that? Is there something I could read? Certainly lobbying and financial incentives to politicians have existed forever.
Our ARPU is about $50.

Most of our clients are fairly small or just at an early stage. And this is natural. Bigger companies mostly have time tracking process in some form, and they do not want to change the tool (something that already works).

For small teams our pricing is ok, although we've being often told that this is too much. People want everything free today.

When we thought about our pricing, we looked at competitors, but also considered how much we ourselves would be willing to pay for such a tool.
You are probably right. You know far more than I, but I do have a knack for seeing paradigm shifts coming. Take that as you will, I can't prove it, it's just personal experience. Just try to remember, if this all unravels in favor of my position, that you talked to some guy on the internet who saw it coming. It's getting pretty annoying having called it ahead of time, and no one remembering or caring that I said anything.

While I don’t agree with this law, it’s not dumb. Security is about defence in depth. A determined attacker might have a way around this law, but perhaps not every criminal would know about this method, or think to use it.

It’s easy to scoff at blunt-tool laws because you can think of a way to undermine them. But law and society are built on a patchwork of imperfect systems which can individually be broken, undermined, manipulated or worked around. In aggregate, they do achieve some semblance of a result, because they are layered together - even if each one alone provides only a marginal element of security.
If you pull this stunt in the USA, I hope you enjoy your five-year sentence in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison and the effect that the permanent felony conviction on your record will have on your employment prospects and the exercise of your civil rights.

>Investors applaud "sticking it out"

I am an investor (not in Apple, but other companies). Believe me, as an investor, there is nothing more that I want than for a company fail fast, and drop things quickly when they aren't working out. The worst thing for an investor is when a company tries to "stick it out" (investors read that as "wasting money").
Alright, the only solution I see is to bring a Nokia 3310 or an alternative cheap smartphone with nothing on it if I travel to NZ.

Really don't like how political and advocative DefCon has gotten.

Minor nit: 2011 [0] But similar to you, I'm surprised macOS Server is even a thing anymore. What are you supposed to run it on? That six year old quad-core Mac Mini? The oh-so-long-in-the-tooth trash can Pro your department still clings to? Off the top of my head, I'm a little stumped as to what I'd use to best utilize Xcode's distributed build functionality. Apple hasn't made what I feel is an appropriate tool for that job in at least six years.

Surely you didn't mean to type that?
The announcement sounded to me like they're refocusing Server.app for Profile Manager / MDM than one-application-do-it-all approach like they did previously. I think this benefit even more for enterprise users, because they're likely not going to use the bundled Apache/Dovecot/etc. that came with Server.app, but rather using existing infrastructure they already had in place anyway.

Edit: one thing to note: macOS Server is not an entire OS, but rather a Server.app application running on top of existing macOS installation that you can download from Mac App Store.
