They control the devices on their side of the firewall, so they can log whatever they want before the data sent enters the encrypted tunnel, and after the data received exits it.

ETS just means they don't have to spend money on replacing their man-in-the-middle monitoring gear with client-local solutions on every workstation and server.

It al seems pretty silly though. Regulators aren't idiots; they know that HTTPS is everywhere now, and that TLS 1.3 means that third parties listening in on connections are going to be thing of the past, so the regulations will change to reflect that.
The summary on that wikipedia page made me chuckle lightly at work. All kidding aside, I'm now doing searches for all manner of 'subculture' handbooks. Looks like I'll be encountering some new reading material soon.

I work in ad-tech.

In fact, this is almost tautologically true. If you have:

-- good data

-- on large enough scale

you are not going to sell it. You going to take advertiser dollars and match their ads against right audience, while safeguarding this data as your main know-how. Go and buy "barbell training fans in FL, US" and "women interested in fashion in CA, US" from facebook. Sorry, not for sale.

If instead you decide to "sell the data" it means that you can't really make it work for advertisers. Or, in other words, said data is mostly useless.
There are hidden rules and behaviors in almost every cultural group from rich to working class, educated to non-educated, young to not young, one region of the country to another, even terrain like lowland vs mountain. Being accepted and having doors opened for you is highly impacted by your behavior and how well it fits in the cultural context - whether it's up or down the economic ladder. So this article doesn't strike me as anything new or surprising.

"I think the image that we have—or the ideology, if you want to be political about it—is once you’re 18 or so, you make your own way and your class origin is not an important part of how your career goes from there."

I certainly don't have that image - are there those that do? Clearly if you come from a culture of upper / upper middle class professionals you are likely to fit in to that work culture more naturally. If you are not from that culture, then your success at fitting in will depend on your ability to adapt. Isn't this expressed in the idea "dress for the position you want"? There will always be social obstacles. The key is that there not be legal obstacles. This seems pretty obvious. Am I missing something?
What's an example of low conscientiousness? What type of work do you enjoy / are you successful at?
Fasting is the best gift you can give to your body. It's a shame more people don't know or trust this. Good job mainstream for hiding the truth.

I water fast about 90 days out of the year (~25 consecutive days each time) and dry fast for about 30 (8 to 10 consecutive days each time).

People eat too much (and not even "bad" foods, just anything really) and more importantly - too often. Digesting food matter is a great way to get sick and maintain sickness.
My personal habit:

1) Skip breakfast completely

2) Zero coffein intake

3) Sunlight exposure: run topless if possible, go outside at noon for about an hour every day. Although it is not an issue for California as for the Northern Europe.

4) No milk (but cheese rarely)

5) No red meat (but fish and poultry sometimes)
Who decides whether anybody is allowed to be a CA? Do they have your interests at heart?
I suspect that Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T also have data.
An unstated assumption behind analyses like the one in this article is that the way to get ahead is by being an employee. All of the issues about "decoding the culture" only apply if you are an employee trying to learn and adjust to a culture that someone else created. But if you are the founder of your own business, you create its culture; you don't have to learn someone else's.
Yes - they definitely feed on varroa but getting sufficient numbers in the hive for varroa control is the difficulty.

Comparison of the Open Source OLAP Systems for Big Data
I started intermittent fasting again this week. I was telling my new coworkers about it and they thought I was crazy. "There's a name for skipping breakfast?"

Made me chuckle because I actually remember periods of time in college/early career where I was probably IFing unintentionally just because I was terrible at feeding myself. I especially remember periods of time where I was so addicted to video games, I would forget to eat. Obviously there are other issues with such a lifestyle, but I wonder how often we sometimes slip into positive diet and exercise habits just as a consequence of external things in our lives.
> C++ is remarkably less safe than C

C++ does add some unsafe features that don't exist in C.

In C++, it is possible to convert a

foo *

to a

bar *

without a cast, and without a diagnostic, where foo and bar are different struct types. C doesn't permit this.

Specifically, C++ allows this in the situation when foo is derived from bar by inheritance, a relationship that doesn't exist in C.

Subsequently, pointer arithmetic is allowed on the converted pointer. the bar pointer can be displaced by 1. But the underlying array is of foo objects; it's the wrong size.
> Can you elaborate as to how a compelled untruthful (electronic) declaration for the purpose of continuing to obtain sales of your product is NOT (wire) fraud?

I'm saying—and I said this expressly in the post you responded to—that that isn't the purpose, which is the strongest reason it isn't criminal fraud.

Your initial purpose in the warrant canary was sales, sure, but the government wasn't involved in that and it wasn't (presumably) false.

The government order isn't for the purpose of sales.

Your compliance with that order is quite likely not for that purpose, either; it's to avoid the consequences of non-compliance (which is why it's compelled and not voluntary.)
You've totally missed my point. I'm not arguing that we shouldn't give people equal access to early education, or anything of the sort.

This is a question of whether or not circumstances and culture in upbringing can have an effect on merit. If they do, and you are operating a business with the goal of maximizing success, then rationally it is valid to use culture as a proxy for merit.

In general, shared-usage spectrum(like what wifi uses) can adapt faster to new uses.

So one way to guess uses for 5G is to ask:

User / Domain profiles that set the language of wherever you login. The "original" installation remains in Czech.

Yes, it would be preferable to have the installations in English initially. But we weren't always international and not all of our employees speak English well (this is common for older people - former UDSSR ..., admin staff and people in roles that don't require a college education). There are still legacy tools in Czech, fully Czech teams (who obviously work partially in their native language), a need to work in the local language (procurement, legal topics,..) etc. It's just not economic to completely enforce English.

You can fire them.
Speaking as somebody who actually ported it (or at least the second-generation "intent/elate") to new platforms, it took more than three days (though you could probably get to "hello world" in three days or so if you were in a hurry and you only needed to handle new hardware or a new host OS, not a whole new CPU architecture).
I believe we should start with a simple principle of "whatever an individual can do that does not directly or environmentally affect people who hasn't given their content can never be considered a crime". As long as this is not put among fundamental axioms of justice I can hardly recognize how any other attempts to apply logic to this area can make much sense.
That seems a little disingenuous though. If anything as a founder the cultural imperative is even stronger - you need to relate with and connect with customers first and foremost, and potentially investors and employees down the road. In general, being an entrepreneur almost always involves a huge amount of "networking hustle," where "culture fit" can really help or hurt your chances of having doors open.

What improvements have you noticed after quitting coffee?
I ask, because I drink coffee in the morning during the fast. From everything I've read, it doesn't break the fast.

Btw, I don't use coffee as a sleep substitute. I wake up every morning without an alarm. I drink coffee for the taste. I simply love it.
Is skipping breakfast really a good choice? If anything I would skip the last meal of day (dinner/supper whatever you call that in English)
Powerbuilder is a name I haven't heard in a while. haha.
Sure, but those people don’t usually become famous.
Yes you do. Plenty of people using an OS in whatever language can barely speak a word of that language.

Most commonly they'll use an English OS for whatever reason and want to browse websites in their local language.

This is why you'll find that a lot of website language detection tends to discount English specifically. I.e. if your Accept-Language is "en" in France they'll probably give you French, but if it's e.g. Japanese in France they might think that's a "real" setting and give you Japanese.

Or, as I'm sure a lot of non-English speaking technical users here can attest to, they like to use an English OS UI on their laptop or phone, but speak the local language and want browsing a local website to just work. Non-technical users do that too, but have no idea how to tweak their Accept-Language independently from their OS language.

Really, do armchair commentators here think that programmers at major websites like Google that have enough data to know how people are likely to switch languages from the default haven't thought of just implementing what's literally the most simple thing you can do, which is to obey Accept-Language?
> Always try to provide solutions and when in self doubt, keep mouth shut.

It's so hard! I want to chat about everything in an interview! But the main point here is that most interviewers are (in my opinion) looking to screen candidates out for pick-a-reason. If you volunteer information that doesn't help you get the job, it can only help you get the boot.

Elektra 0.8.26 Release: New high-level API for configuration
Lots of the comments here are about preferring the version in English and being frustrated by software in other languages, pushed based on geography or some-such. These are valid experiences, I certainly learned from the comments and share some of the frustration. But let's all keep in mind that this is an English-language forum. Contributions, even more than readership, are from people with fluent or nearly fluent English. So, biased sample and all that. Generalize at your own risk.

I’m not sure why this is so down voted as it is accurate. Treatment is in spring and autumn and for some, all winter. It’s basically whenever there isn’t honey onboard and sometimes when there is.
Swarming radically reduces honey production (swarm versus non swarm honey production is about 10kgs versus 80kgs for me this year, YMMV).
Swarming is not good management, results in exterminators being called and irritates people. It’s also destructive of property depending on where they go. And what if you don’t catch them? It’s good that the new colony has less varroa, but if it’s not yours anymore it doesn’t really achieve anything.
As someone who previously suffered from a fixed mindset, it's entirely possible to change the "fuck it" attitude. There are many reasons people give up too early but a lot of it has to do with 1) seeing failure as a reflection of self-worth and 2) not seeing failure as a growth opportunity. With the right culture / mentorship / communication, it's possible to correct attitude just like skillset. Whether it's worth your time is another question.
I would call them more a term of art in our industry than an abbreviation.
Whatever culture you create has to take into account that your business has to serve its customers, of course; without that you don't have a business. But it seems like there is a lot of room for cultures that serve customers without having to be "decoded" the way the article describes, such that people from certain types of backgrounds are implicitly favored.

Here is my interpretation of Cloudflare's statements (and lack thereof) in their transparency report:

"We received 0-249 National Security Letters" = "We are subject to one or more National Security Letters with associated gag orders."

"Cloudflare has never installed any law enforcement software or equipment anywhere on our network." = "Someone other than us installed law enforcement software and equipment on our network, or we provide software interfaces used by law enforcement to comply with an NSL."

"Cloudflare has never turned over our encryption or authentication keys or our customers' encryption or authentication keys to anyone." = "Law enforcement may MitM Cloudflare customers' websites through first-party interfaces provided to comply with NSLs."

"Cloudflare has never weakened, compromised, or subverted any of its encryption at the request of law enforcement or another third party." = "Law enforcement may MitM Cloudflare customers' websites through first-party interfaces provided to comply with NSLs."

I've also listened to him in numerous interviews basically stating he is addicted to it. He's tried to control it in various ways. He can't. I'm not blaming him or saying he's weak, just that he himself realizes he has a problem and should take the next logical step since self-censoring doesn't seem to work for him. The stakes are pretty high for not complying.

I understand your points. I don't think any of his companies would suffer if he wasn't the one making announcements. Stop talking about production. Hype all of the cool revolutionary tech you create all you want - just don't attribute it or mention the business side of things, especially when they are speculative. State facts, after they are facts..."we said it would be x production for 2019, and well, here we are at the end of the year we blew that away!!" or something factual.

If he doesn't get a handle on it, he will lose it. That won't be good for anyone, except for competitors.

I don't think Elon's use of Twitter is as useful of a tool for him in 2019 compared to when he started. There is plenty of buzz about his companies.

I have tremendous respect for him. I absolutely don't want to see him fail, or see it fail because of something trivial like not being able to stop yourself from tweeting certain things that are off limits. There's too much on the line.
True, but being old and slow telco businesses they totally failed to monetize it.

I'm not sure what parts of a value chain a business controls and core competencies are the same thing.

He's saying that no matter what your core competencies are, no business can adapt to an entirely new value chain. At best they can hope to acquire a company with the right business model, or integrate further into an existing value chain (Netflix, moving into content creation and distribution).

It sounds totally possible. There are a lot of home distillers that age whiskey by putting charred oak pieces in a jar of fresh whiskey. The problem with this process for aging whiskey is that it skips the evaporation that happens through the semi-porous wood and I've heard that the process of the liquid expanding and contracting through the wood also aids in a mellowing of the flavors.
x86 SBC's are really in a different market from ARM based ones. The software support is vastly more mature, and they also tend to be more expensive (>$100 for x86, well under $100 for ARM).

Hopefully this will start to change as ARM standardizes via things like SBSA and SBBR/EBBR.
>> It has only been invoked twice in the last 150 years, both times for doctrinal statements relating to Mariology

This is a common but absurd misconception, implying that only twice in 2000 years a pope made a statement that fulfills the requirements outlined in Vatican I, ie. making a statement 1) regarding faith and morals, 2) directed to the entire church.

It actually makes me sad to see great music used as a tool for coercion, but I get why it happens.

Classical music is actually really mentally engaging. I've tried listening to stuff like Brahms or Gershwin while working and it's kind of hard. Chamber music is designed to be kind of ambient and inoffensively bland, but most of what's on a classical album just engages your brain too much to let you focus on what you're doing. Even if people don't realize that's what they're listening to, I can see how just being around it a lot can get agitating unless you can consciously tune it out.
Right.

I argue that the right education about mental health applied to the mass population would greatly mitigate the occurrences of many if not all of the arguments here.
The rules are the rules. They want to follow the rules. If they don't follow the rules, they'll be making an exception. What's the point on having rules if you make exceptions?

In my case at least, I'm often just not motivated to meet a given standard of excellence in my work, at least when doing work that I'd be paid for. Frankly, I'm often content with "works well enough and without breaking issues" at work. At 22 I'm just starting my career, and I'd like to find a way to mitigate that trait in the future.

As far as what type of work I enjoy and/or am successful at, I'm honestly not sure. I haven't enjoyed any work to a high degree since leaving university. So far at least, I've been fairly successful in my work as a software developer for an insurance tech company.
