Apple's new parental control: Daily Stormer is in, sex-ed is out
I could have written this exact post 8 months ago. I mean that's literally word for word how I felt when I started my current job - even down to the age differences, muddled thoughts, problems with tools and brain rewiring.

It does get easier. After a few months and you start to build more important things you'll start to feel more valued, more important and more respected (and by this I mean you likely already are valued, important and respected - I'm talking purely about your own self-impression not what others actually thing about you). Thus the anxiety does start to fade.

My advice is use that anxiety as a motivator. Once it does fade away you'll be in a better, happier, mental place but in the meantime you might as well use that nervous energy to solve problems with your tooling, etc. The problem I had was some days I'd get so panicked that I wasn't pulling my weight that ironically I was too stressed to work productively. Once I started using that nervous energy to focus on my actual problems rather than perceived problems I found myself far more useful, better organised, and weirdly I became less a paranoid employee as a result.

Also make sure you attend work socials. Seeing people in a normal, non-work, setting is great for making you feel more at ease and integrating better in the team.

I hope your feeling passes because i've been where you are and know first hand just how horrible it is!
Bloomberg said that Apple changed supplier over the rogue chip. To hide this the mole to non-mole ratio inside Apple would have to be very high. Unbelievably high.
I don't understand the quest for bezel-less designs. It makes all phones look the same. It has meant that all but one manufacturer have moved the fingerprint reader to the back, or removed it. For someone like me who often use my phone while it's laying flat on the table, it means that I can't easily unlock it. Even FaceID wouldn't help, because it can't see my face in that angle.

Then there's the notch. Come on, that just stupid, just add the 4 or 5mm of bezel a the top, it's fine. Why would I need the extra two top corners of screen, the screen is big enough.

So yes, if the old chief counsel was a subject in a feudal society, this all checks out.
In the context of a mixed farm, or a smallholding or family keeping a few chickens for their eggs, it is perfectly possible, actually quite easy, to give an animal a happy, cruelty free life. Come the time it should be possible to give it a cruelty free death too, just as we do for pets.

If you want to operate a permaculture, which seems to be one of the most environmentally friendly and ethical ways of producing food, animals are often a part of that system, and sustainably too.

Factory farming and industrialised monoculture agriculture is another matter entirely that can't be legislated out of existence fast enough.

One thought that helped me was if I was not doing the job to the satisfaction of The Company, either my manager or HR would schedule a meeting with me about my performance and give me a chance to improve. If that isn't happening to you, then you are doing fine.
I disagree. Quite often people drag their feet with actually trying the product during free pilot. If they have already paid for it there will be more urgency to integrate it.

I’m French and grew up on Asterix (in french). This article is wonderfully weird to me. I love it.

I’m really glad the translation is that great. I’ll definitely recommend Asterix to english-speaking friends in the future.
I’ve seen you make this claim several times in this thread, but haven’t provided any evidence. Can you provide a source that says that the federal government can compel false statements as part of national security demands?
I expect they're paying you a lot - maybe more than you've ever made before - so you feel under pressure to deliver straight out of the gate to prove your worth. Well, remember several things:

* Probably no one you directly work with will know how much you're being paid, so they're unlikely to judge you as being overpaid
* It takes time for everyone to build the mental models of how systems, tooling and codebases work. Expecting anyone to be productive straight away is unreasonable and would be a massive warning sign if they were putting pressure on you like that. You haven't mentioned that they are, so you're probably just putting yourself under pressure.

Having said that, making staff feel insecure and always needing to prove themselves is no doubt a "productivity" strategy for some companies to try to make people to compete, work late, etc. If that's the case, I'd just walk - or at least recognise it for what it is and refuse to play that game. That's one purpose for "bonuses" I've seen - making unreasonable demands on employees seem fine because they'll get their "bonus". Over the years I've gained far more (financially and in quality of life) from having strict work/life boundaries than colleagues who consistently worked late. After all, if the deal was $x for y hours per week then if y increase, so should x.

In my last (very well paid) job I felt very anxious for the first month or two. I was surprised to feel stressed about meetings to the point I almost had to leave several to go to the toilet because I felt physically sick. I'm quite outgoing, normally confident and good at what I do so I was surprised about this. But it really was caused by being paid so much that I put myself under pressure in case they thought they'd made a bad decision and let me go. Over a month or two though it passed. Just hang in there until you find your niche.

The people there who seem to be really "on point" just know how things work. That'll come with time as you gain more experience. Until then, be kind to yourself and try to relax as best you can until you ride it out. And don't work late to compensate. Get quality relaxation time instead or you'll end up in a vicious cycle of tiredness, under-performance, etc.

For your other "big issue" that's just a learning process. I doubt you need to "rewire" your personality - just learn some tricks to allow it become a little more fluid and adaptable. We all act to some extent - you just need to broaden your repertoire. I expect there are courses online to help you become better at running and organising meetings, developing rapport, etc., so try looking those up (sorry I've never taken any of those so can't recommend any specifically but perhaps try Lynda.com).
I don't think you can evaluate if that's true by reading books by people in the past. There are a lot of different states of mind which are consistent with the same output. I mean, just think about how many people with wildly different states of mind (schizophrenic, autism) today who can write books which are indistinguishable from books by "normal" people.
In that case can we start computing cryptographic products with quantum computers such that there is no gap? If we reduce the time complexity of factoring a prime number to linear wouldn’t we be able to produce larger cryptographic products? Effectively going back to where we started but with more computing power? Surely this would require easy access to quantum computation to be practical and thus a gap in power, but necessity would drive the market to make this type of power more mainstream.
I appreciate your reply. If I can paraphrase your first point, people eat meat because they enjoy it, and that's that.

I'm curious what your source is for saying a vegetarian diet isn't optimal. Most studies I've seen (including large and long studies) claim the opposite. Here's a list: [1]

I agree it's like sweatshops. I didn't want to draw the comparison to slavery because I think the ethical question stands on its own, but maybe you're right to point out that it's the same driving impulse.

Yeah, it was strange to see that in the original post, so for a moment I thought they meant both amd64 and ia64.

TV and YouTube/Facebook video ads are totally different. First, you can target audiences on YouTube/Facebook you can't target on TV. For example, people who are interested in project management software. Second, YouTube and Facebook ad results are much easier to track than TV. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that as far as video ads go, YouTube/Facebook is the way of the future, not the cable TV. In fact, most likely TV ad option is just going to be an extra option inside YouTube/Facebook in not so distant future.

I taught martial arts for a couple years fully knowing I'd lose money in the process. How did I know that? Because my sensei had told us that he didn't make any money either. Neither does his sensei.

I think at this point is almost a rite of passage - if you want to teach you do it because you like it, not because you expect to profit from it.

Of course, the economics of your area also apply.
Cryptography is based on "hard problems", something that is easy to solve one way, but hard the other way. Quantum computers provide algorithms that can severely break some of these (namely RSA with Shor's Algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm), and speed up all the others (namely Grovers Algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover%27s_algorithm). So it's not possible to simply increase bits to ensure algorithms are still secure, but it will work for most of them.

On the bright side there is also a branch of cryptography called post-quantum cryptography, which is a collection of algorithms designed to be more resistant in the face of quantum computers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography.
> The reason people fight with their tools? The tools suck in terms of instructions and the only way you master them is to watch others master them.

Sometimes the tooling is genuinely rubbish and sucks for a variety reasons. My advice would be to look for ways to improve it, especially if several people agree it needs improving.
Well, then you're not part of the segment that's targeted by specialist coffee shops.
I'd like to see quantum computers actually do anything practical, anything at all, instead of making wild promises of what they might or might not be capable of. Stop promising, start delivering.
And what to do with the local app? Stick it in your own a?
Thanks, and great points:

1) Once I was logged into your app, it was unclear to me what my next step was... I saw "New App" under "Developers", but I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do there.

It is really there for developers to "Create an app". From a consumers point of view, if they did wish to login to the Byepass console, they can see/kill their live sessions (across all websites using Byepass), login stats, and delinking MFA credentials.

2) Is your app meant for the end user or website/app creators? Who benefits from using your service? I'm a website/app creator and I don't know why I would want to outsource the one thing that makes my users feel secure when coming to our app?

Byepass is designed to be a service incorporated by websites/apps, it isn't a consumer tool. Passwords are so broken, we register with an email address, then are alloed to login with some string of characters and not re-verify our email. We see password leak after leak, and then all the annoyances of forgotten passwords, which cause 30% of all online sales to be abandoned (actual Mastercard & Oxford uni study stat). Passwords are not secure, you are storing your keys in someone elses vault and you have no idea how secure it is, are they storing it in plain text? md5? etc???

Byepass adds a layer of security, and removes the old insecure passwords. Passwords are just what we are used to, thats why we think they are secure, because they are familiar. This can change.

3) While forgetting a password is massively annoying, there is a small sense of "security" I feel in that I had to type something in to access a website

a) did you type it? or was it saved by browser/password manager etc...
b) again this is just what we are accustomed to do, this can be retrained.

4) With the proliferation of services like LastPass and 1Password, how are you going to go about convincing users that are using those services? (these services do a pretty good job of removing much of the pain of having to remember a password)

The fact these services exist just proves how broken passwords are. Consumers are literally flocking to download apps or use services that avoid them having to use a password. By not using the password at all, they are cirvumventing the actual security check the password is there for; and this could be fixed for all by not having a password and replacing it with better tech.

5) Seems like SSO via FB, Google, GitHub and the like are pretty convenient to users already -- is there a benefit/upside that your service provides that these SSO services don't?

Yep, every one of those services require you to have a profile/account with them. It doesnt make sense to force people to use a 3rd-party service/company before they can access yours. Byepass doesn't require registration of users, it simply acts as an authentication layer to confirm the user is authorised against a given identifier/s.
I'm not sure I get your point. What does this have to do with 90 billion factory-farmed animals? (and I assume that doesn't include wild fishing).
I think that using gsmarena[0] and filtering for height and any other specifications that you care about, is the best possibility. Obviously, once you've narrowed down, also read various reviews about the phones that are left.

While it's true that it's pretty much impossible to be completely ethical as a consumer, surely the meat industry (more specifically, factory farming) causes orders of magnitude more suffering than pretty much anything else.

Arguing that consumers aren't responsible for the method of production seems bizarre to me. Would you knowingly take cartel money as payment without any moral qualms?
At one point I thought I had found a fast factoring algorithm but I found that the internet no longer much depends on the difficulty of factoring large numbers and stopped work on the project.

Elliptic Curve encryption for example does not depend (AFAIK) on the difficulty of factoring. (please tell me if this is wrong)
Multitouch hasn’t been commonly available for long enough. The vast majority of current users learned to do so as adults.

But anyway I don’t see how toddlers learning to use them quickly argues for childhood familiarity helping. Children don’t have a previous childhood to get familiarity from. If they find them easy to use, it’s because they are.
Oh cool! Thanks!
Plus many European countries have _lots_ of taxes that aren't income tax, that don't apply to the US to the same degree. Not sure how this works out for the UK or Germany, but a high-income earner in Norway who uses a lot of their disposable income might pay 75% of their pre-tax salary in taxes and fees. This is in spite of an income tax that is 43% at the top marginal bracket, of which ~8 percentage points is in effect forced pension savings.
They can do that already, and have been able to for years (block software) with XProtect.
I think screen time is a very clever play by apple against Facebook/Instragram, who are known as having time used per day as their core metric. With screen time, users see that they again spent several hours on those useless apps and start thinking about how they spend their time.

Overall a win/win for people who get pulled too much into social media.
Me too. I bought their handheld "gaming console", the odroid-go, and have it running ZX Spectrum ROMs. Lovely piece of kit, and fun to program against too.

I don't think you deserve to be downvoted for this question.

Asterix was written between 1959 and 1977 (with other people taking over after the death in 1977 of René Goscinny).

Racist stereotypes were mainstream then. It's shocking today to see it.

But what do we do about the racism of the past? Do we hide it? Films about the Dambusters normally change the name of the dog. It had been called Nigger by the aircrews. Or do we stay accurate and provide a lot of context before presenting the material? This happens when teaching Huckleberry Finn.

I'm glad this blog post didn't try to hide the racist depiction.

I like this article about how to read a racist book to your children: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/17/magazine/how-to-read-a-ra...

This is not true, symmetric block ciphers (AES) are at worst about halved in strength.

Asymmetric crypto that depends on prime factorization or discreet logarithms (such as RSA and EDSA) are indeed fatally weakened by large enough quantum computer, but it is not a problem for other mathematically one way "hard" crypto constructs like hash trees or the McEliece cryptosystem.
At some time we shall discover that Shor’s algorithm is polynomial but the greatest monomial has a constant of size 10^30000 and we shall go on living.
It's interesting to look at this through the lens of startup creation. Here is an example of something where there will clearly be customers that need assistance from technologically sophisticated companies. Quote:

"Mr Steel says one of his clients has thousands of apps that need updating. As chips migrate into everything from cars and children’s toys to lighting systems and smart electricity meters, the amount of work will only grow."

The need is clear and there is even a timeline. NIST is planning to release proposals for quantum-resistant algorithms in 2024. According to the article, Brian LaMacchia, an expert from Microsoft, predicts availability of a “cryptographically interesting” quantum computer in 2030 to 2040.

The question is, when does it become sensible to start a company intended on serving the millions of other companies who will need assistance making this sort of transition? It feels too early now, but is it? Are there sensible steps to be taken now? If you're reading this and you happen to be fifteen years old, thinking about what you might want to launch when you get out of university, is this something worth diving into?

The uncertain timeline carries considerable risk, but if you wanted a shot at building a sustainable company that might be worth tens of millions in two decades, this problem seems like an obvious candidate.
For videos to work, I would assume that you'd need the audio to play as well, in most cases anyway. The thing is, I don't know anyone who doesn't mute their phone (or computer) all the time, and old un-mute when they really want to watch, and hear, a video.

It's certainly Facebooks fault for giving out wrong statistics, but I also feel like the advertising industry have failed to do extremely basic research.

You made a general statement about consuming meat being cruel, and I'm just trying to clarify if you're referring to the way the meat is produced or simply by virtue of eating another animal it's always cruel.

There are various ways to obtain meat for consumption, people hunt wild game, people raise livestock on their land, is this cruel according to you?

True to a greater or lesser extent of all businesses that are about bringing someone’s passion into the world rather than making money.

The arty passionate person five years later has an entirely new perspective on every single aspect of their venture.

When someone asks me about starting a business, I say, “exactly why?”, “what is is you really want from this, do you know?”. You’d be surprised st how few people are really clear on what they actually want the outcomes to be in a tangible way.

My advice is to create any business that makes money and do your passion as a hobby.

There’s another thing.... people starting their first business generally don’t understand the importance of cash flow. They don’t want to know, they’ve got no reference point in their head to understand it. Nothing you can say will bring them to understand the importance of cash flow. In a years time there will be those who grasped it (might still be in business) anc those who didn’t (out of business).

I see this playing out similarly to the Y2K situation. There will be a race to upgrade all cryptographic security measures currently in place to handle the new power in computation. In the beginning however those who would have access to such power would make a mint supplying a service (AWS and the like) to compute these products.

You don't need to be a time traveller to see that Apple will be the only one accepted as issuer. I really don't understand how people can feel comfortable with that. The next step is making the browsers trust only Apple's tls. At some point Apple will have to "obey the law" and ban any application that either violates certain country laws or its own TOS.
There are several ways to connect phones to screens. Android support screen casting to some smart TVs like LG (I used to use this feature all the time and it works really well over WiFi). Unfortunately Apple does it's own thing so you'd need an Apple TV if you want to use AirPlay on iOS.

However iPhones (and some Android handsets too) do support HDMI over their data port. You'd need to buy a cable but they can be got for ~£15 (though you'd be looking more at £40/£50 if you want an official branded one - but I've found 3rd party dongles generally work just as well on iPhones).
