Testimony
My credit score was in the low 400s. I desperately wanted to get a home and start up a good business but got denied because of my poor Credit. I came across a Credit Specialist online. I contacted him INTERNETDON4@GMAIL.COM, +1 802 444 1918. There after, we got started and after 6 days, all negative items on my report was deleted and my Score was raised to 790s. Now I have my home and my new business, no more negative items on my report, am so happy to express my gratitude for his good work.
The IETF draft itself says that the primary motivation for MTA-STS is to provide transport security when DNSSEC is "undesirable or impractical". You don't have to take my word for it.

There are a million DANE-enabled DNSSEC domains because there are registrars, particularly in Europe, that enable it automatically. Who cares? First of all, DNSSEC managed by your registrar is security theater, but, more importantly, the overwhelming majority of those domains do not matter. Who cares if some landing page in the Netherlands has TLSA records?

Meanwhile, the domains that really do matter --- the ones managed by the major mail providers --- are doing MTA-STS.

SMTP is not a success case for DNSSEC.
Vulnerability Spotlight: Python.org certificate parsing denial-of-service
I'll admit right away of not having read the module deisgn documents. I'm basing my comments on teh description given...

It seems to me that the module-interface unit (MIU) would be pretty much the equivalent of present-day header files. So for two modules foo and bar, there is no dependency on the order foo.cpp and bar.cpp are compiled, because only the MIU needs to be compiled for a given module and the design ensures two MIU are isolated. If they are mutually dependent it's a bad design, but teh solution is the same as in Java: you need to build the MIU in the same compiler invocation. (In fact, that would probably happen automatically, using the equivalent of today's -I include directory directive to find MIUs.)

Yes, that means you need to split your module into a clean MIU andthe actual implementation file, just like now you split them in a header file and a cpp file.

Yes, you need MIU to be "available" to be translated to BMI gobally, just like you need header files to be available globally when compiling.

Thanks to current tax policies, and how my family fits into them, I pay very little in income tax.

Asset appreciation is exponential. Income is linear. The only way to get ahead financially is to use leftover income to build a portfolio of appreciating assets.
Untracked is a MUCH better term (especially paired with some general guidelines). Thank you for that.

Prices seem to be here: https://www.upliftdesk.com/adjustable-height-desks/

Right now everything is marked down, and prices are $500 - $2300, mostly towards the lower end.

If the non-marked down prices are usually real and not just a questionable advertising gimmick, $900 - $4300.
Keep in mind that this is an accessibility issue - many people cannot use a standard desk comfortably or at all. Height-adjustable desks are a convenience for all users, but they're a necessity for wheelchair users or people with musculoskeletal disorders.
Check out IOTA. In theory (and so far in practice) it solves the problems you describe. It does not yet have as solid a theoretical foundation as blockchain currencies, though, so there's higher risk that it turns out to have some flaw that nobody's seen yet.
They haven't given up Wayland though, it's just not ready for primetime quite yet - especially not for an LTS. They stuck with Unity for almost eight years as well, that's pretty long haul. I'm unaware of them dumping NetworkManager?

I'd agree their support of ZFS seems to be in odd state, Neil McGovern had to deal with that weirdness as DPL [1] which was very annoying as the DKMS was a "good enough" solution.

Almost every social media site wasn't marketed. MySpace didn't have marketing, neither did Facebook, neither did Twitter, Snapchat is still popular even though it struggles to make any money. Those are just the few that come to mind.

I don't have an exact percentage, and percentage wise its probably low when factoring in all the websites in existence.
How does RHEL help there? They ship kernel updates. Those kernel updates once broke HP b120i properietary driver (HP releases new version of this driver for every minor RHEL release). I don't see how fakeraid driver is fundamentally different from ZFS.

Can confirm the sturdiness of Idasen. I used to be convinced that IKEA particle/paper-filled boards can never be as good as solid wood, but apparently the new leg/underframe combo worked wonders to prop up the whole thing, and it now serves as the base of my main EE workbench.
> And from a purely utilitarian perspective, why should an employer care if you're in bed with the flu

Because the alternative to being in bed with the flu is being at work with the flu, and the employer doesn't want to catch the flu? It kinda makes utilitarian sense.
Over 1 million people legally immigrate annually. No other country comes close to this and it apparently still isn't open enough. What do you propose to improve things?
This project actually proves the point of the root comment. The community spent tons of time on tuning/training this network, and it still routinely loses to Stockfish, which runs on inferior hardware. It illustrates that:

1. Deep mind kept a lot of information about their methods undisclosed.

2. Despite all the claims of generality, the algorithm requires insane amounts of fiddling to train. Just read their blog.

3. The hype around AlphaZero crushing every other algorithm in chess is overblown. It's competitive, but not clearly superior.

Still, Kudos to people running Lela project for doing what DeepMind should have done - describing how things really work and testing in real-life conditions.
How I often approach this is to 1) write a couple of unit tests 2) refactor unit tests into data-driven tests, using pytest.mark.parametrize 3) use hypothesis to generate the data. I very often get to 2, but not always to 3.

The most basic things to check

- No valid inputs give an error

- All invalid inputs give a error

These are enhanced if you sprinkle your code with assertions. Writing assertions inside the code is good training to identify. Something supposed always non-negative, check it. Something always supposed to have more than 0 entries, check it. Something supposed to be sorted, check a[0] <= a[1] and a[-2] <= a[-1].

Often you can test symmetry type properties

- deserialize(serialize(in)) == in.

- init(); connect(); disconnect(); -> state identical as just init();

Or you can use an 'oracle', something external that tells you whether the output is correct or not.

- allTricksOptimized(in) == simpleReferenceImplementation(in)

- myImplementation(in) == thirdparty.implementation(in)
Physics is approximated by laws, not governed.

If a country is so barbaric that it still practices capital punishment, its citizens deserve the trauma.
Yeah. And although it can be nice to get the money if there is, in fact, a payout, the reality is that you're often not in a position to just put job hunting on hold when you leave an employer (especially involuntarily).

I can't really complain about lack of vacations but I've also never been in a situation where I could really just take a sabbatical for a few months.
We are shopping for desks right now, and we went to IKEA to look at standing/adjustable desks, and all of them were way too wobbley, so I agree.

At a high level, what do you do with HFT? You aren't doing the trading, right? You just manage the systems behind it? So what is? Are there really bots "in production" that are making buying and selling decisions tied to real money so quickly that <1ms is needed?
How do you guys plan on monetizing this? This list of analytics seems fine at a quick glance, but I'm concerned that there's not a transparent path to profitability here.

Just like any other service, there's no guarantee that you won't start collecting snippets of source code or other metadata to start selling once the VC's start applying pressure to generate income. What's your strategy?
Suppose I toss a brick through the window of a government office overnight when no one is inside, causing $101 worth of damage. I could be charged with felony destruction of government property, a crime with the statute says has a maximum sentence of 10 years and a $250k find.

Am I facing 10 years in prison? No! That's because the way sentencing works under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines is that the sentence range is looked up in a table whose rows range from short sentences up to the maximum (10 years in this case). The biggest factor in that lookup is how much monetary damage I caused. At $101 I'm going go get a row with a sentencing range that is something like up to a year or so.

To push it up to where my sentencing row actually includes 10 years I'd have to have done a lot more damage, such as blown up the building.

(There are other factors that also go into picking the row, such as if I have prior convictions for similar crimes).

When I'm indicted, though, the DOJ press release will tout that I've been charged with a crime with up to 10 years and $250k fines as penalties. They'd say the same thing when indicting someone who blew up the whole building. Their press releases make no attempt to convey the sentence the person is actually facing based on the facts the DOJ is alleging about that person's alleged crime.

In the case of someone charged with multiple crimes there is another factor that leads to inflated numbers. The same underlying acts can often support more than one charge. Similar crimes are grouped together for sentencing under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, and if you are charged with and convicted of more than one crime from the same group based on the same underlying acts, you are only sentenced for one of them.

Unfortunately, this grouping is often ignored in press releases and reporting about potential sentencing.

In most cases, those multi-decade numbers you see people talk are due to one or both of the aforementioned issues: (1) not taking into account what the person is actually alleged to have done, and (2) ignoring grouping if the person is charged with more than one thing.

Here is a detailed analysis of Swartz's possible sentencing [1]. The earlier article by the same author looking at what he was charged with is also interesting [2].

Really we should learn to expect that "I don't support that" is the default unless somebody's _actual_ business is supporting you doing whatever it is. Which it rarely is these days. This obviously matters most for security, but it's true everywhere.

Another security example is that a tremendous amount of stuff ultimately decides whether to trust a certificate based on Mozilla's root trust programme.

That seems fine right? Well, kinda. It's definitely better than "I found this file named CA_TRUST.Z on an old Solaris machine in 1997 and so that'll have to do" as a policy.

But it's different from two things you or end users might expect you're achieving.

1. This isn't "You know, the same Certificate Authorities trusted everywhere". There is no such thing. The big root trust programmes have a fair amount of commonality, which is fine if you're out to obtain a certificate for a web site (pick anyone in the common set) but they aren't even close to mirrors. Mozilla's list is significantly different from Apple's which is likewise different from Microsoft's.

2. This also isn't "Like in Firefox". This problem is more subtle, after all the Firefox build process consumes the same file, ultimately, as your code does. But, Firefox has a long list of extra rules beyond whether or not something is in Mozilla's published trust store and your application would need lots of extra work to implement all those rules and track updates to them. Did you do that work? No you did not.

This probably won't bite you, and likewise relying on bits of BoringSSL that Google doesn't care about probably won't cause massive security problems in your code. But only probably.
I'm the co-founder of an office furniture startup called Bureau (www.bureauwork.com) and thought I'd chime in here.

By far the most frequent complaint that came up in our research about cheaper standing desks is their tendency to wobble, along both the front-back axis as well as the side-to-side axis.

Generally, there are four reasons a standing desk will wobble:

1) Frame materials: I'd highly recommend a steel frame for stability. You trade off against weight and some added complexity in assembly, but the desktop will be way more stable across both axes.
2) Lift columns. A three-stage lift is more stable than a two stage lift for a given height--the stages overlap and support each other through a greater portion of the length.
3) Fasteners. The frame-to-feet connectors are most critical, and DIY installations are often under-torqued here. If you're building a standing desk yourself, tighten that bolt as much as you can.
4) Adjustable feet: Most floors are slightly uneven. A quality standing desk will let you screw the feet up and down to compensate for your floor.

We sell our standing desk for $850. Def more expensive than many of the options discussed here, but the incremental cost flows through directly to design, materials and ultimately stability, which we felt was a trade worth making.

Beyond our line, we're big fans of the Herman Miller Renew, which is unfortunately priced well beyond reach for most but a really great piece of furniture. If you have any questions about choosing a standing desk, feel free to DM me.
It boils down again and again to how elites in general can avoid taxation anywhere by being everywhere. Related:

This right here. On the occasion I go out of town to meet up with coworkers, we break to play foosball or just take a 10 minute walk outside. That doesn't mean that all we do is break. Same thing goes for family at home. With clear communication even my 2 and 3 year olds get it. Daddy is working and every once in a while he comes out to see how everyone is doing, talk for a few minutes and then back at it.

I'm not directly involved with it, but tangentially at a network engineering level. In things like the NYC-Chicago path, 1 millisecond is an ETERNITY.

The actual people working for HFT firms are probably not going to provide much insight into what's going on behind the scenes, due to very restrictive NDAs, security policies and litigious corporate overlords.
Think about a button on your desktop to move the desk at a predefined height for standing. It‘s more easily comfigurable than the hijacked ikea bekant buttons to support more logic by different type of presses.
Ok ok. That’s enough for me.

Out of character now. Serious question.

Is it mind numbing or is it entertaining to vomit gross rhetoric to push out an agenda and piss people off? Genuinely curious because I feel like this would suck after a couple hours and especially on forums where you get more sincere bites.
Yeah, it is hard. So what? So is just about everything worth doing.

My personal take:

There are plenty of ways to improve research productivity on the margin, but I don't think that's the point of the argument here. The argument isn't that research productivity is getting worse because of X, and to solve it we need to do Y. The argument is research productivity is getting worse because of X, and because X is 'the laws of physics', this slowdown is a feature of the universe, not a feature of our poor research methodologies. It's inherently unavoidable, to some extent.

The plain fact is that everything we do is limited by (1) the laws of physics and (2) the space of possible inventions. In the early days of the industrial revolution, we didn't really know the laws of physics and we hadn't mapped out the space of possible inventions. But today is qualitatively different. Broadly, research productivity is hitting diminishing returns. The key questions here are (1) how do we know this to be true? and (2) why is this happening?

(1) is touched on by a number of books and papers. You can look at progress in transportation. The gains of today are pitiful compared to the gains of 1800-1950, where we went from horses to steam locomotives to airplanes to rockets. You can look at progress in medicine. We made progress earlier by discovering that germs existed and that we should wash our hands. Equivalent gains today now take billions in drug R&D. Really the only sector where we've been doing well over the past few decades is IT, and now even that's maturing. Moore's law is dead, the gold rush for the web is over, and smartphone penetration is approaching its natural limit of 100%.

The two key readings I would recommend here are Robert Gordon's 'The Rise and Fall of American Growth' and Nicholas Bloom et al.'s 'Are ideas getting harder to find?'

On (2), I think it's worth emphasizing that electromagnetism was mostly figured out in the late 1800s. Quantum mechanics was mostly figured out in the early 1900s. The essentials of nuclear energy were figured our in the early to mid 1900s. Even though we know gaps in our physics knowledge remain, these gaps are not going to overturn what we already do know. And what we already do know really constrains the efficiency of our designs. We're not gonna make engines that beat the Carnot limit. We're not gonna make vehicles that are simultaneously (1) fast, (2) energy efficient, and (3) move through the atmosphere. We're not gonna find chemical fuels that are denser than hydrocarbons. We're never going to beat entropy in improving the energy efficiency of ore smelting. Etc.

Now, I don't mean to establish a straw man that progress is over, that innovation is impossible, etc. But I really do believe that design space is finite and there are diminishing returns in its exploration. Before you believe it, it sounds crazy and defeatist, but after you believe it sounds banal and obvious.
The standing desk I have is super solid, I went onto alibaba and ordered two frames directly from the manufacturer, in total I paid about NZD$300 including shipping for each of them, I bought a benchtop, put a nice edge on it with a router and then oiled it. currently have a 27" imac and a 27" monitor on a vesa mount and no wobble whatsoever.
I highly recommend going this route, far cheaper than a premade product. The electronics are a bit chinese, but they work fine.

edit: just looking at the uplift desk, I think it was the same manufacturer they use, as my frame looks exactly the same, and the weight loadings are the same.
Nobody eats ideology. If China can produce more wealth that the US, who cares what kind of government they have. As long as people in China are fed and making money they will support their government. And foreign countries don't care about this, see for example how the US supports a dictatorship in Saudi Arabia.
I think maybe a timeline where they listened to the guy suggesting they use a cruise ship to transport people might be 1 correct choice.

After that they said they chose between 10 venues, maybe there is a timeline where they could have done something on the main land (Nassau) and crowd sourced more appropriate villas with AirBnB. Delaying the event by 1 week to avoid the yachting event might have brought airbnb prices down to a reasonable threshold.

Maybe secretly there is no actual successful decision tree and its just a dark reminder that some things are never meant to be. Maybe at the start there is an option 'refund everyones money' haha and thats the only positive outcome.
Had they approached the update issue with more care, people would have been more lenient.
yup i have one its amazing! I did the same thing with my chair, bought a herman miller aeron. They were both expensive but make working so much more comfortable and should last a long time.

I have no clue either but my guess is that they will just use a sys file like hibernate or pagefile. Most people will never see it and those of us that peek at hidden, system files once in a while will most likely not be able to mess with it easily due to permissions.

At least I would hope they would do something like that, I agree a method which messed with partitions would be a complete show stopper!
thank you for raising this point.

I agree it would be beneficial if the "Standard and Clean Series A Term Sheet" was employee-friendly as well.
