You read my comment as the opposite of what I said. Specifically, I said "The courier font hasn't been (out of public view) in recent memory". That is, there's no nostalgia, because it never left. And I'm not saying anything about IMAP, I'm saying something about Courier IMAP, which even as IMAP goes, hasn't been in favor for a long time.

Being a top level comment, I would assume my comment is read with at least the submission title in mind, as that was my intention. I was noting that I initially interpreted it as referring to Courier MTA / IMAP (and referenced IMAP servers to distinguish which Courier I was referring to).

So, to be very clear since apparently event my clarifications are being misconstrued, the courier font has been in public consciousness for as long as I can remember. I believe the courier MTA is not in the public consciousness any more. If this submission, titled "Courier Prime: It’s Courier, Just Better" was talking about mail servers (specifically, original courier and a cleaned up fork of courier as the title would theoretically allude to), then that would have been a cool blast from the past. It's not about mail servers being things of the past, mail servers was just used as a way to explain what other courier I thought it was originally referring to.

I don't have any actual numbers, sorry. I just remember being warned to be careful about cars from hot climates (like southern europe, and some US locations) a few years ago when I was looking for a used Leaf. Demands for EVs were very high in Norway, and resellers had to import (and still do) used EVs from other countries.

I found a life expectation chart for 3 US cities at [0].

It's well know that high temperatures (while in use and while in storage) degrade li-ion batteries[1]. However, electric cars have thermal management systems to try to protect the batteries from this effect (extreme heat and cold). Tesla have active water cooling, while Nissan Leaf use a simpler air cooling.

They also use different battery chemistries that handle temperatures differently. If you have a look quick look at this talk[2] you'll hear that Nissan is using a chemistry that experience higher degradation under high temperatures than for example Tesla's choice.

BitMEX | SF |Sr Security, K8S, API/Node |On-Site | Full-Time | Visa
The Bitcoin Mercantile Exchange (BitMEX) is the world’s most advanced Bitcoin derivatives platform and the 26th largest exchange, of any type, on Earth. We have a hundred thousand active customers across the globe, particularly in Asia.

Developed by ex-bankers well-versed in computer science, financial engineering, and traditional finance, BitMEX launched in 2014. We’re new (but so is everybody in this industry) and we’ve been humbled by our success so far.

Our innovative, secure, and very liquid platform currently trades between $2 and $5 billion USD a day of crypto derivatives (futures and options only; we are not a spot exchange where you can buy Bitcoin with USD or other fiat currencies).

By offering the crypto-sphere’s greatest price discovery marketplace, BitMEX also expects, over the long term, to spur Bitcoin adoption by consumers and merchants.

Culturally, BitMEX defies the stereotypes of both the old-fashioned, testosterone-drenched Wall Street “boys club” type of firm, as well as the politically correct, “snowflake-coddling” Silicon Valley tech outfit. In truth, we are pioneering a new model of corporate culture, and learning as we go.

For example, as Angelina Kwan, chief operating officer of BitMEX, put it: “In addition to being a true market leader among trading platforms, BitMEX shares my values of gender inclusion, particularly in STEM fields. Cryptocurrency markets present an exciting new opportunity for women to get involved in the intersection of finance and technology.”

All BitMEX employees have at least three things in common: they buy into our core values unequivocally, they are effective in their roles, and they own up to their actions. No workplace is free of internal politics, but we are as much of a meritocracy as you’ll find in this cruel world. And you can be almost anything you want to be at BitMEX as long as you make your mark with your work.

If you like what you've read, visit bitmex.com/careers or email people@bitmex.com. We are hiring across all departments but our most pressing needs right now are for Node/API Engineers, Senior SREs and Kubernetes Engineers.

We look forward to hearing from you!
Hum.

Few sparse thoughts: élites I may know have mostly a marginal interest in public transportation witch is making money through it. If it's not profitable is of no interest.

At least European élites, with the notable but marginal exception of very few politics or other VIPs move on private transport not public one.

Interest in public transport have political and military interest for both reduce/control ability of individual to move and possible vulnerabilities in case of war scenarios but again "efficient public transportation for the masses" is not really in any bullshit-free agenda's. The sole political/military push toward "personal car free" society, concentrated in megacities serve the purpose to easier control people:

- control a city require few manpower than a vast area, more in detail to control a city you need only a fraction of human inside on your side, to control a vast area you need more human on your side than the "target"/"enemy";

- control a city is easier simply because a city consume food, energy, water etc but do not produce most of it nor it can so cutting supply means cutting city off;

- a city is a nice and easy target: you can shoot and being sure to create significant damage;

- public transportation is nice: lock it (it's easier than lock many individual's vehicles, especially if they are not connected so not easy to disable en masse from remote) and anyone will be on foot.

I do not really see other interest. Maybe there are economical interest from the enterprises that can gain big money on creation and maintenance of public transport network...
I'm torn with USB-C. We're finally getting some cool additions to the most used standard (though I don't know If I like this one), but at the cost of fragmenting it to the point that it's not so much a standard anymore.

USB-C inconsistency on the hardware side of things has been a meme by itself. With this addition sometimes when you plug a device in it might not work despite being the exact right device/port combination (which would be a miracle on it's own even in the current environment.)

I don't know. Maybe in 5 years when we've glued on all the stuff we want from this connector things will be okay. In the meantime though it's chaos. Committee approved chaos.

I am convinced that unions would have a positive impact even on high-paying and in-demand jobs like software-engineering. From vacations, protection against unfair practices (for example unfairy formulated shares in startups as compensations) to protection agains high-stress burnout-inducing enviroments, there is still a lot to do.

It's just not really pressing because everything is good enough, so that's why it's not happenning (in my opinion).

He mentions the impact of globalization, but I think that it's a much bigger deal than he makes of it. For work that can easily be offshored (manufacturing, software dev, phone/online support, creative work, etc.) the obvious corporate response to unionization it to move shop. OTOH, for professions that can't easily be offshored (medical, local services such as fire/police/utilities, education, etc.), many are still heavily unionized. Some of the unions are non-traditional - for instance, the AMA (American Medical Association) effectively serves a role as a Doctors' union even though they don't advertise themselves as such. They control training into the profession, they are the sole arbiter of who can practice the profession, and they generally work to suppress supply below the level of demand (and therefore drive up wages).

OTOH, software is already being offshored at a rapid pace (I really doubt whether I'd recommend that my children go into the profession), and I think that labor organization would only serve to accelerate that. Having said that, it probably could prevent some of the more egregious benefit erosions that plague our industry ("unlimited" vacation, anyone?) ... which would be nice while it lasted.

Fred Wilson was speaking about the Continent and my point of view is from the Continent too. I seriously believe that when we will have clarity about the general new relationship countries like France, Germany, Spain, Italy and even the stable smaller ones will execute their pre-planned scenarios and just move on.

True that sounds tenable, but dealing with multicast can be a pain. There's no such thing as "enable p2p", there's enable multicast and open specific ports between clients, etc. Does Google give the IP and netmask for the multicast, or the requirements for TTL, or even just the multi-cast ports used, etc? Are they even using multicast? It's all basic info which could readily be listed allowing a configuration to meet the user's needs. Having a single "wide open on all ports" (e.g. consumer grade) SSID on a network could be a significant vulnerability vector.
If you're in the US, there are a lot of legal issues for you. Tread very carefully. Don't discuss the issue with anyone, including that employee, again until you talk to a lawyer.

In my experience, it's multicast restrictions. In our case (~8 years ago), the default setup from Cisco was to restrict multicast to within a VLAN. Outside of that, I've seen strict multicast rules that only allowed known services.

It used to be rare for IT to have any real practical UDP/multicast/broadcast experience, mostly because general support was so bad.

Nice tools, thanks!

I notice that when I feed my domain name into DNSApe, I appear to get ‘Listed’ results for the following: dnsbl.njabl.org, combined.njabl.org

According to Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Just_Another_Bogus_List), this service is defunct, though. Am I missing something?

Also, it’d be great if ‘ping’ failed gracefully when the cited domain name doesn’t resolve to a hostname. Right now, it gives me a load of output that identifies file system paths to PHP scripts, and your use of laravel and shell commands.
Just blocking everything between clients is an easy and strong security policy.

Wireless and wired networks commonly are in different network segments, vs Bonjour etc. generally assuming devices are in the same and using only local multicast - so the network explicitly has to provide a proxy bridging that traffic between segments, not having rules forbidding traffic between them (which also would be normal to have) isn't even enough.
> Punishing people for bad behavior (buying ICE cars) only puts more people deeper into debt

Or they might just buy fewer, smaller cars, use more public transport, and get jobs close to where they live, and not move to a place without public transport in the first place.

I wonder what happens if you stack more than two layers, adjusting by 1 degree with each layer.
I'm no expert, but I think most enterprise & university networks enable client isolation in the routers.

If I know the IP of a friend on the LAN, I can connect to him directly, as normal - the connection will not be blocked by the router. But other than that, the router shows my device a view of the world in which it is the only thing connected to the LAN.

Enumerating the private IP space and trying to connect to all of the possible addresses might reveal the actual stuff though? But the multicast protocols I assume use a smarter and more efficient approach which gets blocked by client isolation.
True enough, though I would posit that k8s’s strategy (no live migration) makes sense if you assume that you’re running k8s on top of a VM cluster that has its own live migration, such that you’ll never need to talk to issue an API call to the k8s manager for hardware-related reasons. In such cases, the only time you’re doing a `kubectl apply` is for release management reasons—and it’s nearly impossible, in the general case, to automatically compute a “live migration” between e.g. two different versions of a deployment where the architecture is shaped differently.

(It’s not impossible in specific cases, mind you. I’m still waiting on tenterhooks for the moment someone introduces an Erlang-node operator where you can apply hot-migration relups through k8s itself.)

Deliberate network policies to not forward multicast. So you can only see multicast advertisement on your local segment, and it always seems the device you want to see is on another network segment.
Sure, if you have some idea what the set of "possible areas" are. If you read the comments, it's possible there are several multiple overlapping bugs. And I don't see a whole lot of traces from those afflicted.

I agree such bugs are at best obnoxious and at worst cataclysmic. But having been on the receiving end of such nebulous intermittent reports myself, I'm not going to simply conclude the team is incompetent or uninterested.
