Here in Sweden, everyone's address has to be registered with the Tax Agency. In their (securely authenticated by digital ID which can only be obtained using photo ID) online services you can choose to disallow changes of your registered address which are not made digitally to prevent this kind of thing.

Personally I have this turned on, because I'm conscious that every piece of information you'd need to send a fake address change notification for me is either public or easily obtainable with a call to the Tax Agency, which is far from reassuring.

Not only that, I didn't really see a concrete suggestion of meaning, in the sense that the article only articulates what activity marginally increases some baseline level of meaning.

I don't expect an article like this to actually define meaning, of course, but some anecdotes of what "meaning" actually is to some sample of the working population would have been more helpful than throwing around a bunch of hesitantly low-risk workplace suggestions.
>it's offended people so it gets censored

No, it's been "censored" because there's a prohibition on political advertising on TV. It's nothing to do with the _content_ of the political message.

I doubt that Brian Krebs hasn't considered that. He works in information security and I would assume he is not on any corporate boards.

I would however agree that even though I am not normally in favor a regulations this would be a good place to have something similar to the GDPR. There should be a balance between data being an asset vs. a liability. Right now it is only viewed as an asset so there isn't enough emphasis on security.
Mostly agree. That was his stated purpose, and he's made tremendous progress. He showed the industry and the market that a pure EV could be practical and something you're not embarrassed to be seen in. Not sure I'd say he's won. EVs are still unsuitable for many purposes (I still would not buy one, though I feel less strongly about it now than I did a couple of years ago).

Upto about 5 or so years ago I can't think of an ABS equipped car I've driven without an ABS button. I'm less sure about more recent models as there's so many combinations of traction control, ABS and other assorted gimmicks. With recent winters free of ice I've not even bothered to look. Maybe it was a regulation thing here in the UK. Maybe it still is. :)

Ask yourself what is the biggest thing you always stop yourself from doing because you "don't have enough time" and go for it. For me it would be working on more open source projects and ideas.
I see, so they do some kind of verification. Thanks for your reply!

I guess asking about credit report info is inadequate if people are managing to abuse this. One problem with that kind of thing is it's essentially security by obscurity, it's not deliberately created secret knowledge that can be trusted, it's stuff which happens to not be public and which only you should know, but there's no guarantee and you can't easily change it, right?
Yes, but it is upgradeable again, so Apple listened a little to us raising a stink about it.
Is there any reason Snowden would be in a position to know this? The article doesn't give any evidence, but merely an accusation. Snowden was privy to intelligence info in 2013, but it's been 5 years since then and I imagine that his knowledge would be too dated to know what's going on here.
I'd travel to a different country, read some books, meet some new people & go on dates.
Hm. Autopilots have been able to fly the whole plane for decades, from runway to runway. They're not permitted for whatever reason; there has to be a pilot in the seat. But honestly for most flights of airliners (not even just modern ones) the autopilot is in control almost all of the time.

Can they be remotely operated? I'm thinking putting a plane into autopilot has to be a remote operation by now. Its so trivial, how can they have left that out?
I had three months off between jobs a couple of years ago. I did absolutely nothing, just sleep in, stay up late, read a few books, watch movies and play games.

After three months I almost felt like a human being again. That feeling was gone 2 days into the new job.
There is innovative nuclear power already. It's fusion-based, causes no emissions, and is so modular it can be placed in massive desert arrays or even on top of anyone's home. Fusion-powered solar energy is here now, cheaper than nuclear, and far easier to produce and scale.

I'm all for modular nuclear reactors, safe pie-in-the-sky builds that don't suffer from the long list of problems the huge plants do. For now, the South Carolina nuclear debacle is enough to show that new nuclear based on old, clunky paradigms is not ready to compete without carbon taxes or some big financial incentive.

So yes, either nuclear needs to innovate or it won't beat out renewables and gas in the 21st century.
Hydrogen is not viable. Production is inefficient, energy density is low, and handling is difficult. For long-range transportation where batteries are insufficient the real alternative will be carbon neutral synthetic liquid fuel.
Right, why assume the mind reduces to physics? This is usually how people argue for AGI being inevitable, but assuming the mind reduces to physics is a big assumption. Perhaps we have a physical soul.
It would actually be very interesting to see what would get dispatched - at what point do they give up trying to contact the operator? Do they go for electronic warfare to wrest control of it, or do they capture the physical drone? What kind of response time would they have?

Why Good Developers Write Bad Unit Tests
VW has factories all over the world. If they set their mind to making batteries, I am sure they can do it.

And as far as crushing -- the Bolt or Volt is the only EV I'd even consider. For the compromises I'd have to make, a Tesla is far too expensive.
Efficient development with Docker and docker-compose
I don't doubt the latency in space numbers. What I don't believe is using a theoretical distance to compute latency. As you said, a LOT of that latency can come from scheduling inefficiencies and congestion. Each of their satellites has a relatively small amount of bandwidth, so if you happen to be in a beam with a lot of people, you'll be hit hard by this. As far as I know, their satellites are not capable of steering beams, and rely purely on the placement directly down from where they are.

Another consideration: adding another 50ms to GEO latency isn't really going to change anyone's opinion. It's still targeted towards streaming, and latency doesn't matter as much since they're not targeting real-time gamers. SpaceX needs the latency to be very low to hit that market. There's a world of difference going from a 30ms ping to an 80ms ping, and once you're past a certain point, it puts you in the same camp as GEO.

Author here. Happy to answer any questions about this post or discuss any of the points I raised in the article.
Yeah. It's essentially this bad almost everywhere.

You think "surely X" but no. Almost never X. Almost always some lazy Y or nothing at all.

After a couple consulting contracts / vuln disclosures I updated my priors of how competent the government was. I'm actually getting worried now that everything is going cyber-physical and corporations can pull the wool over their eyes. The government is great at offense, but defence is boring. Especially at non-fancy agencies / departments. And the salaries are low.

But it doesn't even matter really. Basically so many things are broken and offense gets better over time while defence gets worse. I'm fighting for regulations, etc. But this stuff is so ill-defined that the government has trouble understanding it.

I have come to blame the universities. The CompSci department should have gone to the Civil or Nuclear Engineering department and said "ok, how do we think about time frames over 100 years?" and built out courses out of that. But other than a handful of rare exceptions, right now most grads come out not understanding the true gravity of their decisions.

The one nice thing is that offense is usually incompetent too. I've been on projects dealing with real crime[0]. The number of people nailed with just getting an IP is lolsy. Most criminals are stupid. I partly want to relay what the smartest 2%ile did just to show how low the bar is, but I fear educating the lower 98%.

Hi. We are actually using an even older version, 1.7.6 for our cluster. This is off not an ideal set-up and we will upgrade as soon as we can. That is not an easy task in a cluster of this size and given our uptime requirements. We know that general search and indexing performance, shard allocation and general cluster state management has all improved a lot in later versions of elasticsearch but we still anticipate that we will need shardonnay running even after we upgrade.

The shard allocation api would also be a very helpful addition to this solution. Currently we can sometimes get into situations where elasticsearch actively works against shardonnay and does very 'stupid' moves out of our control that later needs to be 'fixed' by shardonnay in later iterations. We have tried to disable elasticsearchs own allocation algorithm as much as we can but we still want it active as well as a safety net in case something unexpected happens with the hardware for example.

We do have dedicated master nodes. We also will have query and indexing client nodes that coordinates and merges search responses and handles routing etc. But behind that we utilize all data nodes for both query and indexing load. That has worked well so far due to the fact that indexing load is fairly constant. And we scale query load on recent indexes by having a large number of replicas for those.

Our largest problems have always been the vast difference in query complexity that we get. But we are slowly getting on top of that problem now as well. Some details on how that is done can be found in the following blog post

If you ask me before I take the two months off, I would plan to write a novel, write, shoot and direct a movie, take the CFA, back test some trading algorithms, and write three apps (one game, one very useful app in a new industry I know nothing about, and some social app) while learning new languages (mandarin and some variant of lisp).

If you ask me after the two months, I most likely caught up on Westworld.
No doubt, though I think a compounding factor here is the automatic switching between modes. The pilots didn't seem to understand what the plane was doing and why.

A reasonable response in that situation might be to hit the big red button, removing any question about the behavior of the flight controls. It may not have been enough in this scenario, as the pilots didn't seem to be paying appropriate attention to the angle of attack indicator, which was apparently functioning and clearly indicating a stall, but it may have put them in the right frame of mind to correct the problem.

Travel, learn a language, read, code on a personal project, help others -- it could be anything.

One thing I've typically done is a breadth-first search of interests at that point in time, so I know how to direct my activities to get fulfillment out of life for the next few years. I've mainly been able to do that through reading a lot (nonfiction mostly). It's hard to do when you're full-time working.
>>Would it have been been better if the president said its an invasion because they've already broken through border fences to Mexico saying "Nobody is going to stop us."[1] and if they are seeking asylum they need to follow the process and go to a legal port of entry to file an asylum request not jump our walls in hopes to avoid capture?

YES! Yes it would! That's the point I'm trying to make.

If you're in charge of making policy decisions, be able to defend them! Don't say "This new law is good because it's good" or "our enemy is our enemy because they're our enemy". If you're going to be the "Sorry I speak so directly it offends you" president, fucking own it and actually tell the truth or explain your thoughts.

I just had 7 months off and I went travelling(mostly US and EU). Another time I did a huge chunk of South East Asia with 3 months. 2 months would also give you ample time to explore a lot of new places!
Spend some time with your family and friends. You could "combine" this with the many travel recommendations you are getting, by (1) visiting loved ones who live far from you or (2) traveling somewhere with them.

> The only way to mediate between them is by discussing non-objective things like how we value fish and the services provided by electricity.

No, it's not the only way. It's the easy way.

The hard way is to consider other consequences of both choices, including long-term effects, including changes that aren't 0%-100%, but slightly change probability of other events.

Hurting the ecosystem might increase the probability of flooding the area, which will hurt some of the people that you are trying to comfort by giving them cheaper energy. So, maybe it's objectively irrational to build the dam, no matter whether you value people or fish more?

Maybe the population in the area is decreasing anyway and cheap power won't help? We can predict such things pretty reliably. So why build a huge dam and hurt environment if in 40 years it will be useless?

It's impossible to know for sure, but it's possible to estimate. Abandoning the rationality altogether just because it's not immediately obvious what to do is very irresponsible.

I know it was just an example, but IMHO it's a representative example. Many of the issues in the center of the public debate now are objectively scientifically solved, or so close to be solved, that it doesn't matter what the exact details are.

Yet people continue to argue about them because of tribal thinking, religion, corporate interests, etc. See global warming, equality for sexual orientations, war on drugs, public vs private healthcare, etc.

OC proposed that human element is inherently unpredictable, so rationality isn't the solution. Yet - thanks to the law of big numbers - big groups of people are more predictable than small groups of people or individual people. So we may not know who will vote X or Y, but we can predict how many people will vote X and Y with reasonably small error. We have big data, that can predict you're pregnant before you know you're pregnant, just basing on you browser history FFS.
I use this service, and when I signed up there was nothing to verify I was who I was. I just put in my address, created an account, and within a day or so could get scans of mail sent to my e-mail.

This is pretty great too. I moved about two months ago, and switched addresses in Informed Delivery. I got a letter saying I switched, but I never put their code into Informed Delivery, and I still get scans of my mail at the new place. I got the scans before the validation letter, so I could easily have stolen that, and no one would know I'm seeing their mail....

*Edit to make things clearer.

I have not validated anything. The letter says I won't get emails unless I put the code in the letter in Informed Delivery. I did not do that ever and I still get the emails.
Oh come on - make-work is defined as 'something that doesn't have to be done'. Lets get on the same page here.

Everybody needs to do something. But we're not all brainwashed drones that only live for work. This is getting ridiculous. What do we do when we leave work? Go to a game, play on a team, socialize with friends, help a buddy renovate her garage, fool with our car.

The world doesn't collapse every Friday after work as it is. We muddle along somehow until Monday morning.

And who is resisting now, is not any kind of argument for who will go along in the future. It may take 30 years for the old farts with the almost religious work ethic to fade away (grow old and die), but it will definitely happen.

Society isn't going to fall flat if we don't have to sit in a chair for 8 hours, 5 days a week. Just the opposite.
>Ever?

Yes.

You could make the argument that targeted strikes authorized by a single person are acceptable in a state of war (which we are not in), but even with that an assassination should have checks on it, always.
I certainly agree that it's in the best interest of those at the top to make the rest of us believe retirement won't be there, and we must work-work-work to save-save-save.

However:

1) I have seen it become commonplace to have several generations of a family living in the same house.

2) I have seen my grandparents struggle to afford prescriptions even with 2 pensions and social security.

3) I have seen a sibling fall into poverty despite making bi-weekly efforts to establish an emergency fund. A totaled car was all it took despite full coverage.

4) I have been a part of the crowd commuting 4+ hours round-trip a day to jobs they can't move closer to.

It definitely feels as though institutions are failing us. I don't think social security will fail, but I do think they'll move the goal post on when we can retire.

There are conspiracies and there's anecdote..
I think it was clear I was talking about commercial aviation but to lend some balance to your post let me address some of the points.

General aviation aircraft operate in completely different circumstances. Using shorter, sometime grass, runways without the benefits of instrument landing systems. Usually outside of the ATC system.

The general aviation fleet is generally ageing. 30+ year old aircraft are not at all uncommon.

They have one engine; however it is about 2 steps below a lawnmower in terms of mechanical complexity. So long as it receives a fair supply of fuel stoppages are very rare.

I don't think you can make any connection between a lack of flight plan and the safety of a flight, other than perhaps that the search and rescue team might have a better chance of finding you if the worst happens.

There are plenty of non-commercial pilots who aspire to a standard of piloting which are at or above the level of commercial pilots (consider display pilots).

All in all, the level of safety in general aviation is roughly similar to that of riding a motorcycle.
That system would also allow us to completely get rid of our horrendous voter registration system, and make universal voting a reality.
Idea: their reality is much more computationally complex than quantum mechanics, so much so the difference between classical and quantum is irrelevant from a cost point of view and matters only from a results point of view.
Nissan has sold a crapload of Leafs with a fundamental engineering flaw for those of us who live in a either a cold or hot climate. The battery pack has no thermal regulation. So it's basically built with degradation as a fundamental property. That's terribly negligent from an engineering POV.

I agree. It may not be a perfect example but look at professional sports. Even boxing or MMA. A young fighter is hungry and doing everything they can to be on top. The older experienced fighter can fight just as hard but they could burn out or get injured. So they have to train and fight smarter and use their experience as an example. At some point the experienced fighter loses their edge and they lose the fight or they decide to retire and hang up their gloves.
I switched to DO from Vultr a couple years back. No ragerts as they say.

Aside from the FreeBSD options, the other reason I went to DO was that a former sysadmin I used to work with went over there as support lead and had good things to say when I poked them.

Heard good things about Linode, but also not so good things due to a couple security incidents back in the day.
I'm by no means an expert, but how about using Pilot Wave Theory to do the simulation? As I understand, you wouldn't need to simulate an exponential number of states, you just simulate the pilot wave.
