SV meaning Silicon Valley? Unless that bubble is a couple thousand miles across, then no, I'm not living in that bubble.

In your hypothetical world, I would support splitting everyone by ideology so that the people willing to pay for nice things go to one city and the people who want to mooch go to the other. Let them each go their own way. We'd all be happier.

This line struck me.. Germany have been build coal plants in the past decade as they were phasing out nuclear. And now they are planning to take them offline by 2038.

Collecting information is not really a concern for the vast majority of users.

But some users start to worry when that information is getting sold to third-party providers. Information sales are easier to audit.
Gmail doens't do that anymore. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14620608
yea sure why not? like just a tiny bit more curation would've made this actually useful. as it stands now it's just an unordered list.
Thanks for answering. Myself, I'd only thought of performance for creating and using test environments in software development. Which, I guess, is another kind of what-if scenario.
If the borders of nations seem arbitrary to you then take a history book and they'll be explained accurately.
I run ChiselApp.com if there are any questions about it. I inherited it from James Turner, the creator of it.
I'm happy they don't do that. I have my browser set to delete cookies. For many websites that means that I have to click through multiple such "one-time on next visit" banners/popups/whatever each time I visit them.
A workflow in a few projects I work with:

Have a "develop" branch that does not contain any generated files, and a "master" branch that does. Have a post-commit hook that uses a worktree pull every commit from "develop" to "master" and generate any files.

That type of workflow is possible by cloning the local repo, but is kludgey and brittle enough prior to worktrees, I had never considered that workflow viable.
I disagree. I would suggest you to atleast research it more before coming to such strong conclusions.
High-speed camera shows how incoming particles cause damage
I meant messaging in a more general context. It does not remove that feature at all. Why do you think that two people using the same app or algorithm automatically reveals the presence of a hidden byte array? You just vary the way data is read out of the image using the same password used for encryption. Even if they could recover every single bit using statistics (which they can't) they would have no idea what order to put them in. That's just one way of doing it too. If you put a real math wizard on the case I'm sure they could do even better.

Storage capacity IS a function of the algorithm and the image. That's simply a fact. For example, say we are just bit flipping a 512x512px image and we take up all 8 bits in each color channel in each pixel. That lets us write 512 * 512 * 8 * 3 = 6291456 bits or about 6Mb. ...I can see how it looks like I was talking about real time communication because I said messaging. That was a mistake and honestly I have been playing around with the thought of if/how steganography could be used for chat but that really was not how I meant it to sound. I was thinking about how steganography might be able to make encryption more user friendly.
I wonder if Germany will have any industry left in 50 years.

The German Green Party (projected to get 20% in the next election) leader recently told in an interview that excessive electric energy can be stored in the networks[1].

[1] https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/kandidatin-fuer-den-parteivor...

Edit:
Concerning the interpretation of storing in the network as averaging over a huge area. I read this as: in case of need we can import nuclear power from France or coal generated electricity from Poland.
On a local level the Green Party is a big player in avoiding the necessary building of network capacity.

Edit 2:
Concerning de-industrialization. Do my downvoters really think that energy heavy industries can be run on wind and solar with current technologies?
But building something from scratch, even if non-profit, is the easiest way to get a job you really want. And at the same time you can find out that you like doing actual business and smoothly transition. It's a win-win IMO.
I enjoyed having this gentlemen read his paper out loud for me.
No worries. My brain just sort of filled in some words, maybe because I expected an antagonistic response to the original post. Crazy how that works...I even rewrote what you said in the words I invented haha.

Original question still stands, why is that the url linked and not the actual article? The fact that you run the site makes it worse, as this is blatant self promotion masquerading as a real post.
I'm not disputing that there is a 100-mile border zone.

I'm disputing that the depiction of the border zone is inaccurate with respect to the water borders, which greatly skews the map around the Chesapeake Bay and Lake Michigan.

If you want to convince me that my interpretation is wrong, please either:

a) Provide a link to a court ruling or CBP interpretation that the 100 miles starts at the coast and not the international waters boundary at 12nmi, or

b) Provide a link to evidence that checkpoints are being conducted under the provision of this regulation that are occurring within 100 miles of the coast but not within 100 miles of the international waters boundary.

I've never felt a stronger sense of https://xkcd.com/386/ in my life. Why are you being so cynical? The author made a tool with no interface that turns any program into a websocket server, making no claim that it can directly replace production servers focused on scale. What are you complaining about? Who hurt you?
Why do you expect a child to learn a logical lesson that millions of adults don't understand?
Practical steps:

1. Create a grammar for your language. Start with Lex/Yacc and model your grammar with Lex/Yacc. Use them to generate lexer/parser.

2. Create sample code in your new language. Parse the generated parser on said language file into a list of Syntax trees.

3. With said Syntax trees, generate target code - Compiler (or) evaluate the tree and print results - Interpreter.

Iterate and repeat steps until your language is complete.
No, it's valued at 70 billion. Though at that valuation according to https://www.levels.fyi/2018 numbers, its compensation is below other top paying companies, so it would likely have to IPO at something like its target 120 billion IPO to beat other companies' compensation.

Uber already has more net revenue than Adobe. It has slightly negative profit margins but is growing significantly faster than Adobe, suggesting that there is plenty of room to let off the gas and let profitability take over at the expense of rapid growth.

In that light, it seems perfectly reasonable that it would IPO at a valuation similar to Adobe.
Thank you -- yes, I meant $70/year (too late to edit it now).
I'm not claiming ghosting and rejection are synonymous. Rather, I'm saying ghosting is a useful way of rejecting someone in certain circumstances. I'm also not claiming that one can completely eliminate ghosting by accepting rejection, but I think you'll find it reduced.
Exgoogler here: they have list of sensitive do-not-cross-ad categories that will not show up on your other devices or networks you are or been part of.

Example: google “buy lawnmover” on your cellphone. Most likely other participants of the same LAN will sooner or later experience ads for lawnmovers. Now, google “Best online dating apps” or “im HIV positive how to protect my environment”, noone else than your own device, in limited scope, will see a followup-ads.
Collected information almost always turns into transferred information at some point. Knowing they don't sell anything now doesn't help you in five years when the company has a change of heart or a change of ownership.
Why does it have to be publicly owned? For example, all of London buses are privately owned, but the bus companies are contracted to operate routes and the city sets the fares, colour scheme etc so that they all look the same.
True, yet it made lots of kids happy to try out programming their own games and now they work across the industry, including myself.

Yes. Would you consider exposing spies in the field, leading to their capture, academic work? Or is more akin to an act of war?

You see this work as merely exposing cyberintrusions. However, for the powers in question, this constitutes harming or disabling strategic intelligence capabilities. At this point shit gets real.
Don't know about google, but last I heard it's close enough from amazon. At amazon, the processes are very modern and smart, compared to most companies. You also work with bright people overall. So yeah, both are big companies and this come with some crap, but you shouldn't worry to much about it. If you're junior, you will learn a hell of a lot and the best of stuff.
> Of the well-known composers of the 19th century, Fryderyk Chopin (as his name is spelled in Polish, his native tongue) is the only one whose complete works continue to be played regularly—indeed, without cease.

We must be excluding lesser works and juvenilia since those works by Chopin exist and aren't regularly played today.

What you're describing is pretty much contrary to the philosophy behind podman, buildah, skopeo, etc. though which is to have fairly narrowly scoped tools that serve a specific purpose rather than a big application that does everything.
I usually leave release engineering tasks such as denormalizing data (generating derived files) to release time and Fossil has a particular place to keep these bits, as unversioned artifacts (which are optionally synced, on a per repository basis).
I second Effective Java. It's an advenced/master level guide to write good java code. Some of the subjects are outdated as it is so engraved in Java that probably a tool does it for you(eg. dependency injection) but really helps to get the big picture if you are an experienced developer but new to java.

To work with legacy code I recommend Working with Legacy Code by Martin Fowler. Lots of good ideas for handling messy codebase are described there.
Light airplanes in the 60s and 70s shared a lot of automotive parts, literally made on the same production line.

The interesting part is something like a voltage regulator, Cessna's specification was for 100% testing. Ford would accept a statistical sampling for QC. So, using the same line, a certain number would be inspected, stamped with a Cessna part number and sold there. The remaining assemblies would be sold as Ford parts.

Reminds me of a cartoon I once saw (in the window of Gleebooks in Sydney) - a publisher in an extravagant office saying to a humble author "Give me a novel of 200,000 words that oversteps the bounds of common decency." (something like that, can't find it online now)
Yes, I'm painfully aware of this kind of fuzzy thinking.
That wasn't Turkish Government. It was the parallel state responsible from coup attempt in July 2013. Defendants acquitted now, maybe a little too late.

I laughed when I learned almost all Americans don't know their soldiers retreated at First Iraq War (Gulf War) when Saddam accepted actually leaving 1/3 of his country at north and having loose control on 1/3 at south.
So, ignorance on the Calibri issue looks tiny, compared to that one.
The same way they pay them now, they just pay them a little less. The obvious consequence of getting rid of the things that make Facebook worse is that it is going to cost them some revenue. If nobody at Facebook is willing to accept that, then they should not pretend to have any other goal than to maximise profit in the first place.
This article specifically talks about sex workers using whatsapp and the fact that because of meta data sharing, IF a warrant comes from the government to find users associated with a certain group (such as sex workers groups) on Facebook, it indirectly brings whatsapp users into that group as well through indirect means.
Interesting issue yet so many "if"s. The reality is that Facebook needs to make money from whatsapp at some point. If keeping end to end message encryption is important, then they are left with three equally bad options:

# Charge for the service (whatsapp will lose 90% of its userbase in a month)

# Show generic ads (worse value than even TV ads, because at least TV ads know a little bit about the viewers of a certain show but whatsapp has no idea)

# Figure out a way to deliver targeted ads.
The article mentions that ("If you invested $5,000 in Amazon in August of 2007, when Vine was announced...")
I don't know the legal details but court is a far off thing. Companies don't have to accept arbitrary notices and can send your account to collections for being past-due according to whatever terms you accepted for the subscription.
OAuth 1.0a does not provide authentication to the client. There is nothing about a token that tells a client which user it represents, or if that user is currently authenticated. You can imply there was possibly some authentication guarantee against some user by the Service Provider if you request a new token, but that's it.

OAuth 1.0a provides integrity only for the client request parameters. It does not provide integrity for the client request headers or body. It does not provide integrity for any of the server response - which means while clients can make valid requests, a MITM could be providing it completely fraudulent data to act on.

Likewise, since OAuth 1.0a does not provide integrity over the entire request message, it also does not provide non-repudiation over the entire request message, or non-repudiation of the client for any server responses.

Some organizations have chosen to leverage OAuth 1.0a with non-standardized extensions parameters like a body hash to try and partially solve these issues, but they tend to be very underspecified (which hashing algorithm? Before or after Content-Encoding / Transfer-Encoding ?)

Finally, there are no standardized modern cryptographic methods for OAuth 1.0a - it will likely remain on SHA-1 forever.

OAuth 2 provides integrity over the entire request/response by relying on TLS. Generally the only reason you would worry about this is if you are paranoid that:
- Clients are turning off TLS validation. Granted, this is still pretty common, and can be solved for your use case by requiring mutual TLS.
- Normally trusted intermediaries cannot be trusted not to modify your traffic. This would be something like a compromised TLS-terminating reverse proxy. This tends to not be solvable by mutual TLS.

There have been many failed attempts at improving on the signature algorithms in OAuth 1.0a - it turns out it is hard to make guarantees that there won't be legitimate reasons for an intermediary to muck with the request/response.

There is actually no reason why someone couldn't extract the existing request signature logic from OAuth 1.0a (sans token-secret in the HMAC, which IMHO was pointless) and propose it as an independent spec for doing end-to-end request signatures. But so far it seems nobody has wanted to do so, instead focusing (and stumbling) on trying to provide something better.

You mean the company that is known for some of the best working conditions, benefits, and salaries in the corporate world?

This is the natural progression of an organization worth over half-a-trillion. Growth slows and they have too many people competing for too few high-level slots. Most companies at this stage just keep adding more mid-level titles so you end up as a "senior executive vice president II" on a meaningless ladder focused on politics over product.
Many of those kinds of monopolies are not natural but enforced by violence (or threat of). In many of those cases (if not all), a free-market would produce cheaper, better and faster services. Being government owned or government granted monopolies makes them inefficient and mostly unaccountable to anybody, because they don't have to operate like a regular company which would otherwise provide services - that is, if they don't live up to expectations they get replaced by the competition.

Often government monopolies are the worst elements of socialism and crony capitalism combined. They enrich an oligarchy of elites who in turn, bribe politicians to put more business in their direction.

Teach them by doing code reviews together. By doing this you become a better developer yourself and at the same time prevent your product from sinking and you getting sacked because nobody in management wants to hear your complaints about another coworker they want you to figure it out yourselves. Keep documentation of everything you had to rewrite to ensure high standards are kept then use these records to demand a raise/promotion later instead of telling management you want to be moved.
Twitter is very reluctant to find out how much removing OAuth 1.0a (and their previous incarnations like XAuth) will break in their legacy infrastructure and for existing trusted clients. A migration path would mean adding OAuth 2 in addition to all the previous mechanisms, and then likely acting over a long migration timeline.
This is something I wasn't aware of. I would question whether this in and of itself would change any bodies mind, considering all the other well publicised reasons to care.
Some other people have mentioned hiring people defensively so they can't compete. I don't know how true that is, but if it is... then making a redundant project means you need to be retained so you don't write clones for anyone else.
Yes. I did do that. And I stand by it. Collectivism demands empathetic bonding between people at extremes of ability and contribution. The whole 'from each according to their ability' bit is inherent in the 'to each according to their needs' clause.

But I do also really believe an economics story here: fairer wage structure with less super pay for geniuses and shit pay for everyone else makes better sense. More people can spend disposable income so the economy does better overall and the company is more profitable.

I've worked with genius programmers and they're not team players and whilst it's exhilarating, the outcome is mixed.

The boring programmers make staid reliable systems. They sell because they work.
Its worth noting that MasterCard has made non-standardized extensions onto OAuth 1.0a to meet their needs.
> set the price at whatever the break-even point is

1) That paid option would remove the wealthiest part of the potential ad audience. The higher the break-even point is - the wealthier slice of audience it will remove.

2) Such premium option may, actually, work. For example, Youtube has $11.99 per month Premium subscription option.
Did you sign up for that?

3) I am not sure if Facebook will implement that premium option, because managing ads-free premium option would add complexity to their codebase.
Use old paper and old ink, too.

It's probably possible to tell that ink was applied to paper recently, even if the ink and paper are both old, but I'd expect that the longer it has been the more uncertainty there is so you should be able to fake an N year old document without having to let the ink dry or set or diffuse or whatever it does for N years. I'd assume that there are ways to speed this processes up, too.

I have no idea what the curve looks like though. This may only be practical if you aren't in a hurry. So, faking a document that you've just found out you need and you need soon might not be feasible, but faking something like a mint condition vintage comic book might be possible.

Probably should also use vintage staples or glue or whatever was used for binding at the time you want to claim the document is from.

This is really the kind of thing you want to plan ahead for, rather than find yourself on eBay trying to find a specific make or model 50 year old printer that works.

Any competently run evil organization that has a decent budget (Hydra, KAOS, Cobra, AIM, etc) will regularly buy copies of the document production equipment and supplies used by contemporary businesses, governments, and hero groups and keep that equipment working and well maintained for several decades for retroactive document production.
I did not leave for monetary reasons. Netflix offered me a few things that Google couldn't. I don't recall if there was a counter offer. I think there was talk of one, but I made it clear that it was not about money.

At Netflix, I get to contribute to an open source project that I'm passionate about (and which Google does not use). Netflix is also much smaller, and I had more impact at Netflix in my first 2 months than I did in my entire time at Google.

I should mention that Google was a fantastic place to work. I loved my co-workers, and I loved working for Google. Netflix just happened to be a much better fit for me.
