Hi, am author. Ah, yea, I know that CAs are supposed to check CAA before issuing and I do understand the security model. Figured browsers could/should too, but just dug a bit more and you’re right that CAA is explicitly not supposed to be checked by RPs.

Conceptually I don’t see any major problem with using CAA for this purpose though, at least for your own internal PKI. The only potential issue is that if you change your CAA record your issued certs would break, so there’s an availability attack.

I just found a reference to another standard called DANE that’s supposed to do this, but I don’t know anything about it.

This isn’t a kinematics homework where you can draw the links and joints and get full marks. You have to actuate them.

I should paraphrase that for interviews. "This isn't a CS homework where you can cite Big-O and get full marks. We have to be able to implement code that uses them."

And by that, I don't mean that you have to write all of the actual code. But one needs to be able to specify it exactly so someone could implement it and know enough about that to tell someone of the pitfalls in the current problem context/framework.
I remember when they shut off that stormer site[1].

So apparently how do you decide who to shutdown: How does this affect net neutrality and all that. Where do you draw the line?

I don't think equating 1 route = 1 component makes much sense. A route could be as simple as `/user/123` which shows an avatar and a name, or it could be `/billing` which has many sub-routes and complex features behind it.

To just jump to an example of an extreme case, Facebook has stated several times they have tens of thousands of components [0]. Now, I assume lots of folks on HN work for private companies that build a wide swath of applications ranging from trivial to massively complicated. Why is it outlandish to think people wouldn't have many components in an app?

The Biggest Tech Lies of 2018
It’s a monthly review of books, art, classical music performance, the theatre, and the state of the world from the point of view of a classical liberal. There’s a refreshing lack of snark and partisan talking points. When I renewed, I gave a subscription to the local library.

A bipartisan moderate that everyone loved, recommended by both parties, poised to take the nomination, then blocked for years by the Republican party just as a total partisan f-you to Obama.
I've taken similar advice from HN -- not to travel to the US unless it's essential -- and I've heeded that quite closely. It's unsurprising that people significantly more important than me are being advised the same in more formal situations.
So have a minimum required certification that covers just sanitation and safe use of chemicals. The market can sort out the rest (i.e. the skill of the stylist).

> Why would they not show me what are the pros and cons of licensing besides just the cost.

Calculating only the cost is useful information. If you have something that produces a $5B benefit at a $4.5B cost, the proponents will tout a $500M gain without considering whether there is any alternative that can produce the same benefit at a much lower cost.

It points out that there is a very large cost which is an opportunity for optimization.

For example, if hairdressers are licensed due to questions of sanitation, perhaps the same benefit -- or more benefit -- could be achieved through periodic health inspections rather then licensing individual hairdressers.

Perhaps having licenses for electricians is net positive, but the existing licensing system is wasteful or corrupt and makes it artificially more difficult to obtain a license than is optimal.

Perhaps it is useful to license doctors and lawyers, but much of the work the law currently requires them to do is less sensitive and could reasonably be allowed to be done by nurses and paralegals instead.

> What I found interesting is that, those with licenses make more money?

This is the same kind of issue. If you make an extra $5000 but have to spend $5500 in time/money related to keeping your license, you're not making $5000 more, you're losing $500. But your customers are paying $5000 more. And someone who was qualified but couldn't navigate the Kafakaesque licensing system had to take a lower paying job doing something else.
The ‘one’ stands for 1.0, as in the people signing up will become beta users for a product that will inevitably be shelved. /s
The problem stems from companies that raise $100 million dollars to sell open source software after the project has already been popular for years. Then they complain all their free adoption/marketing from being open source isn't monetarily advantageous for them so they need to change the license. It's really a bait and switch.
>This is wrong. "Solidarnosc" was more socialist than the ruling party!

yes, i know, and you're right in the sense that it is a bit more complicated than i originally said. The fall of real socialism in 198x in USSR was also associated with the part of society having that naive/romantic longing of "back to good socialism as it was originally envisioned by the great wise fuzzy warm grandpa Lenin" (never mind that Lenin was presiding over and directing the class- and political based genocide on the national scale as a natural part of his socialism) as opposed to supposedly incorrectly implemented real socialism of the time. So the Lenin explicitly embracing "Solidarity" artifacts on that photo is exactly the symbol of the same "back to and more of the good original socialism" and a rejection of that "wrong" real socialism.

The catch of course is there is only one socialism, and it is not the "good one" as that just doesn't exist...

I agree with the comparison, but it feels as though Robinhood has another layer of hubris or ignorance beyond that - it doesn't seem to have studied those models terribly closely.

Uber and AirBnB both flouted primarily city-level regulations that are tough to enforce against external players, and where they broke larger rules it was by pushing vulnerability onto their service providers (e.g. drivers who assume Uber handles taxes like they're direct employees). And at least some of the regulations they ignored were so obviously protectionist that "look, we're breaking the law!" could actually form a selling point. (Which let them redirect focus from more popular rules like property hygiene.)

Robinhood is tangling with national financial regulations, which for all their loopholes and weaknesses are made to take on far larger players with a history of bad behavior. Meanwhile, the rules they're breaking are pretty much all directly tied to consumer protection, so it's going to be mighty hard to run an ad campaign to raise sympathy.

It reminds me a bit of Theranos, actually - "fake it till you make it" wasn't novel, but they neglected massive differences like offering an unsustainable service versus signing unfulfillable contracts, or failing random website visitors versus crossing major corporations and the DoD. It's like a clumsy new lobbyist offering a bribe instead of making a campaign contribution and expecting consideration; the dynamics might be similar, but the gap in execution could easily destroy them.
The comments here interesting but nuts for foreigners. I’m so used to a slight mention of an ombudsman being a 15 second turnaround to almost anything I ask for happening with ISPs / telcos. I worry about buying anything in the USA with such scant consumer protection.

4chan (and other such networking media) attract individuals who have developed in an existing social environment. My understanding was that jerf wanted us to engineer a new type of social structure that could be taught to children during their formative years of development.
But there's at least a pretense that it (goods purchased with tax money) will be, right? Forget about what actually happens for a moment and consider that the tax-collecting colonists didn't even seem to bother with such a pretense. The way I understand it, they just bought the goods, turned around, and sold them again (which does not align with any notion of "providing government"). Of course, I know very little about economics or history, but I just wanted to point out what I thought was a logical inconsistency in the root comment.
> ... tax money ... used for the benefit of people who paid the taxes

This is a surprising recent notion. The Mughals sure didn't conquer territory to tax it for the peasant's benefit -- the entire purpose of conquering land was to extract taxes from these peasants, for yourself & your army.

Let's Watch VRChat's New Trailer to See How VRChat Represents Itself
I needed to change my phone number for an online account for a major well known transportation company. The app offers a way to do this, and receive a text message containing a verification code. Upon receipt the code is autoentered into the app, but immediately got an error that said I had to open a support ticket which can only be done with a web browser, not in app.

Customer support by email says I have to provide a copy of my driver's license or passport to "secure the account". I said that's not reasonable, companies leak too much personal data so you can't have anymore of mine, I'll just open a new account. They replied they'd just change the phone number (now no longer requiring the required photo ID). They did and the end.

- No explanation why the verification code process would not work.

- None of my ID's have either my email address, account number, or phone number, and the account doesn't even have my name on it. Giving them photo ID does jack shit for the purpose claimed.

- If the account security is questionable, you should not only require text verification of the new phone number, but they should have removed my stored payment accounts, requiring me to reenter them. AFAIK the credit card verification requires CVV and phone number matching the credit card account. That seems like the right way to secure the account rather than bullshit photo IDs.
I should have been more clear - Calvin serializes cross-partition transactions. NDB does not. There is a Transaction Coordinator (TC) on every node. TCs can execute cross-partition transactions in parallel, but programmers need to write "lock-aware" programs (more late). TCs can fail-over if one fails - so, it blocks for just a few seconds (Transaction inactive timeouts are typically just a couple of seconds). There are no leaders in each partition, because every node is a potential TC. There are primary TCs for each partition, but failure does not require a leader election.

NDB has "lock-aware" programming - you don't get "global consensus". You decide, as a programmer, that this row could be accessed concurrently by another process, so you lock it, with either a read of write lock. Linearizability is easily implemented by acquiring a lock on a well-known row, but, of course, kills scalability.

In our Usenix FAST paper on HopsFS on Spotify's Hadoop workload, we had 1m ops/sec on HDFS, which was about 10m ops/sec on NDB. We ran out of hardware. There are workloads that big.

Uh huh, I'm sure it's just that easy, right? I mean, I'm certain it's an even playing field even for someone like me who has the money to hire an attorney. Hell, why regulate these industries at all? We can just file civil suits, right? Even if you win it costs less for them to settle than it does to change the way the do business/security.

We regulate the finance industry not because of a risk of physical harm, but because financial harm can be equally serious and civil suits do not act as a sufficient deterrent to bad behavior by the powerful. Why do you feel this sort of thing is different? I believe the only real difference is that this sort of thing is new, not well understood by most, and we just haven't caught up.
Facebook is a global database of political dissidents, queer persons, apostates, and other categories of people whose physical safety is put in peril when their personal lives are leaked.

Facebook surely must be heavily fined and regulated for their misbehavior, because to fail to keep Facebook data safe is to put lives at risk.

Cases like this make me always think very hard before admitting a closed-source / SaaS solution into the critical path of my stack.

In this regard, large established players have the benefit of the doubt when using a proprietary SaaS service: they are unlikely to fold, and if they sunset a product, they will likely give ample warning well ahead of time. (But not always even so: I see any new Google consumer product as a "while supplies last" sale.)

Driving a car requires licensing though. I needed to go through a driving class, 24h of driving with a certified instructor, and six months of supervised driving under provisional permit before being granted my driving license. That's pretty rigorous considering how easy driving is.

Granted, these requirements loosen after a person reaches a certain age. But they still need to demonstrate an ability to drive and knowledge of the rules of the road before being licensed.

A CDL takes a lot training to earn, and you have to demonstrate a clean driving record for the previous 10 years.

I've used the Kiosks at McD's and it really was baffling trying to figure out how to order a combo meal. I figured I could just go to [Combo Meals] -> [#X Quarter Pounder]

Instead you have to pick the burger, then way down on the bottom (where you're not looking because the screens are vertical and huge) there is a button to make it a combo. I never found the combo button on my own and had to ask. You'd think since most people order combos they would make it more intuitive to order those. Finally, there are some combo meals (two cheese burger meal) that you can't get as a combo from the kiosk. You'd have to order single cheese burger combo, customize it, add to order, then select a 2nd cheese burger and customize it-- except you can't because the single patty cheese burger can't be made into a combo meal (the combo button doesn't appear). So then you have to just pick the burger, add fries, drink, etc and presumably pay more. To a human I can just say "number X with ketchup and mayo only" and they have it rung up in seconds where it takes much longer on the kiosk.

I absolutely agree with your call-out. If a company has to have a "good culture" to attract talent, then so does a county, city, or state. Since I no longer have to live in a state that fights against my rights, I may very well choose to live (and therefore work) in other states for the rest of my life.

However, I do wonder if we are over-conflating "rural" with "conservative." Certainly, they are correlated, but I can imagine it's a lot different to live a rural life in California versus Mississippi.

I'd recommend people having kids give them very common names and consider giving them modifications of the last name if it's rare. It's depressing advice and a bit like paying a lifetime of insurance premiums that's likely never to be needed.

Unless the concept of a search changes in the next couple decades, getting lost in a sea of similar names is the only defense against unfounded accusations. (Changing one's name after the fact doesn't work as you're required to give prior names for many jobs.)
Software development is more like a craft rather than engineering. If you are willing to pay for an app the same money you pay for a bridge than you will get the same quality and rigorous checking. But even then, there are less than 10 types of bridges in the world comparing to software which has to simulate every human activity and sometimes imaginary activities like games, all that in much higher levels of complications, constant changes of requirements and infinitely open for later changes through the life time of the application. Do you really think you can compare those two things?
Ross Anderson Keynote on the Economics of Information Security (20009)
“One” is generic...but it’s not descriptive. In other words it’s not cloud, drive, OS, etc. So in the context of computer goods and services One could be trademarked (which of course MS has). It’s like saying Apple is generic, it is but as Apple relates to computers and software it receives trademark protections.

When MS uses “one” across its product spectrum (OneDrive, Xbox One, One OS, One Note, One Guide) then google uses One...it’s not the same as MS OneDrive and Google Drive (ie descriptive) it’s more on par with MS creating a social network and calling it MS+. I think most would agree that’s either a ripoff or at least fail on many levels.

Other things need to change in the zoning, too. Like my own neighborhood... I love it, but there is very little in the way of restaurants that are walkable. But we're getting a walking-distance grocery, at least (Cub, unfortunately, but one that fits in the first floor of a new apartment complex).

Not to mention the whole hypocrisy, since the US has used corporate espionage and actual spying on supposed "allies" corporations since forever and still does, plus using their military and diplomatic might to ensure cheap resources, control of trade routes, use of its currently, and bending "banana republics" to its will and installing friendly lackeys to the detriment of their peoples.

What I'm saying is that empathy is completely useless... other than the fact that it allows you to turn "someone I don't care about" into "someone I don't know, but care about enough to make meaningful sacrifices for." So the whole point of empathy is that it allows you to avoid a frame of mind where you're spending other peoples' money on things that don't benefit anybody.
