Don't delude yourself, even the monogamous couple has to go to the hospital or could, via sheer bad luck, have contracted it from a former partner (I doubt you were talking only about lifelong monogamy).

And the second comment, I don't even know what to make out of it - living also leads to death, where does evolution come into play in this discussion? By your logic, someone who gets infected and later dies from AIDS, but has had a child is better off than someone who never had kids. What kind of mental gymnastics is that?
I’d describe Atlassian’s Sydney pay as fair if you enjoy working there but on the lower to mid end of the market so you wouldn’t join on a purely financial decision. They have also stated they’ll never attempt to be one of the big payers.

Australia’s problem, in general the Australian born devs are very good, Computer Science must be done right here (i’m not Australian). However the quantity of good interesting software jobs isn’t great compared to other countries, when you have easy migration to the US as an AU citizen, and jobs offering more money and more work opportunities it’s hard to overlook. Maybe catch 22, for good devs to stay you need good interesting jobs, for jobs you need devs.
There's literally dozens of them. Dozens!

So true. One of the first things I did was build a direct conversion receiver with decent audio filtering. It had 45 mostly discrete components and sounded as good as a top end Yaesu. Similar to this one: https://aa7ee.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/using-the-nm0s-hi-per...

> Thanks for the comment. Maybe I am reading it wrong, but what you described sounds rather reasonable to me. After all, marijuana does impair one's ability to drive[0]. The traffic laws may be a bit draconian but I find it hard to argue against it in principle.

I do agree that driving while high, or shortly after, is not a good idea.

The problem is that smoking with any regularity at all is effectively illegal, regardless of how sober you are when you're stopped, and the punishment is ridiculously heavy.

I mainly used the example in response to the earlier comment ("Before I start, it's important to point out that in a authoritarian state like China, laws are often deliberately made very strict but only loosely enforced."). Specifically when it comes to driving and weed, I'm definitely in favor of some regulation, similar to how we treat alcohol and driving.

> If you are starting a business, the least of your business risks is lock in to AWS.

You are locking yourself into a cloud provider that is a part of a really hostile country in terms of digital privacy. Your customers may not care right now, but they really should. If you can sell that kind of behaviour to yourself because you're "starting", then your customers deserve the kind of business they are getting from you. To me it sounds incredibly unethical.
Ok, but in that case you need to stick to facts and not add swipes like "roll eyes" and "Are doing ignoring what I wrote on purpose?".
> Additionally, the US has now been engaged in Afghanistan longer than they were in Vietnam. There's a whole generation of Americans who know all about war.

During the Vietnam war, the US still had the draft. The numbers deployed to Afghanistan are insignificant compared to Vietnam. There's a tiny fraction of a generation in the US who know all about war.

The damaging effects of unplanned work
This is a pattern. Mozilla and others are furthering the interests of gatekeepers under the pretext of 'end user security'. The browser community have been scaremongering against self signed certs for years now and yet are happily handing 'authority' to shady projects in the middle east. What does one make of that?

Because of this obsession with 'central authority' even local ajax calls to 127.0.0.1 and localhost are blocked by Mozilla. What is even worse is they are doing this intentionally inspite of the standards explicitly not requiring this for localhost or 127.0.0.1 and are misleading users on bug reports and wasting their time. [1][2][3]

Some have wasted days mucking about with cors headers and ssl only to realize this is a Firefox only issue. Even Chrome which is not shy about furthering gatekeepers and their own interests doesn't do this. Needless to say this is not a problem on any other browser.

Well if they force their engineers to use Macbooks with butterfly keyboards, I'd imagine moral must be very low.
As far as I understand there has been plenty of iteration of the butterfly keyboard since it was first launch to the degree of ~4 different types (?). The newest macbooks should be a lot more stable

Reinforcement Learning Trade-Off
To be practical, I would allow some transfer of wealth actually but put a marginal tax rate of 100% over say 5 to 10 million, gradually increasing from say 0% at 250k. That seems like a fair compromise. Sure, guaranteeing basic living conditions would be nice, but as we can clearly see right now, there isn't much support for it. This tax would provide plenty of money to get to that goal, however.
I support that. But: (i) that won't address the advantage non-parents have, (ii) different choices will still result in different/unequal "impact", if you measure it by outcomes, and (iii) women will always be hit harder, because (most) literally have to take time off (giving birth is physically harms the body) whereas men don't.

Personally, I think the best solution is (1) have generic parenthood leave (but not forced), (2) have the government pay for it, and (3) reward new parents and companies who's employees have new kids.

(1) makes it (roughly) gender-equal, (2) encourages small businesses/startups (who otherwise won't be able to afford Amazon-like benefits - a paid one-year absence is extremely impactful for a 5-person company, whereas Amazon can just statistically assume that a certain % of its workforce will be out of work at any moment), (3) equalizes the economic value of mothers, fathers and non-parents, and also incentivizes high-income, well educated, smarter and more ambitious people to have kids (assuming the rewards are proportional to taxes/salary), which most "kid-having incentive programs" fail to do (e.g. strong social security will encourage low-income families to have more kids).
It matters a great deal indeed.
In all honesty, a battery is a wear and tear item. At some point it simply cannot provide enough power - it has been this way ever since rechargeable batteries was invented.

What Apple did was the only thing they could do to keep the phone working reasonably, but they should have communicated it clearly, and offered battery replacement for a reasonable price (30$ for iPhone 6 battery replacement was cheap).

Other manufactures have this issue too, and some phones like the Nexus 6p was extreme. In the old days the battery was user replaceable, and it was well known that you'd have to buy a new one at some point.
I remember chatting with a friend who worked in the biochemical industry in the early 90's - he commented if you had had a blood transfusion in certain countries in the last 10-15 years " you're dead".

Actually using go-lang for a project.

I really don't like the language. It is verbose, with really simplistic error-handling, over-reliance on accepting interface{} in methods (meaning arbitrary object).

More-over, I really like the basic building blocks of functional programming, being able to map,fold/reduce,filter my way through the data I am dealing with, and with the lack of generics the golang-attitude seems to be "just write the damn for-loop".

But after ~3 months of writing golang services, it is actually quite pleasant to work with. Especially after they introduced `go mod` for dependency management. Ecosystem is nice. Libraries are nice. I even enjou the damn multi-megabyte staticly-linked libraries. I know I could have them in other languages. But I would have to fiddle.

With golang, I don't have to fiddle. That is really nice.
Yes, that's true. Most people who work in a state use some of that state's services (e.g., public transit, emergency services, etc.) and hopefully the state they do reside in gives some kind of credit for those payments.
IIRC OSes that weren't Windows/OSX/Linux didn't get invited to play in the embargo sandbox either until very late or not at all, so e.g. illumos and the BSDs were either completely in the dark or caught with relatively little time to do anything, especially because people inferred a bunch of the details before the embargo was supposed to expire from various patches and snippets of information leaking.

There was also the issue that gregKH complained about, where the different major Linux distros on the embargo basically got siloed by Intel out of talking to each other, so they ended up building their own solutions. [3]

[1] suggests FBSD got to the NDA sandbox relatively shortly before it went public. [2] says OpenBSD indeed did not.

As a user i do not really care about the developer's business plans and especially i do not care on trying to make my purchasing decisions based on guessing what the developer might end up doing in the future. I prefer to act on what is available for me right now and have control on the software. Hence the preference for pay-once, DRM-free software with an installer i can download and keep myself.

And BTW, a developer focusing on flashy new features instead of stability and bug fixes is something that is independent of the monetization scheme. If the users want stability and bug fixes while the developer provides only new broken stuff, then the developer is simply not listening to their users which can happen (and often happens) regardless of if the software is paid once or subscribed to.

TBH I think you are looking things a bit too much from the developer's side.

FWIW i do not mind 1-year subscriptions with a permanent license, although i'd prefer the permanent license to be for the end of the year, not the start (especially if there is a chance that the files you worked on with the last version wont work with the earlier version). It is essentially "buy once, get free upgrades for a year". Assuming of course the other things i mention (offline installer, no authentication needed, etc) still apply.
Inevitability and Eternity: Review of “The Road to Unfreedom”
There's some bastards who go around in clubs and prick people with infected needles. There's a subculture in some communities that believe that everyone should have HIV.
OP here. Really interesting to get your take on that. From my (far less security educated) POV the Google XML bug felt less risky from a monetisation angle.

I guess the difference is between exploiting it yourself vs selling it. There was a clear path to monetisation that didn't require selling the exploit on the black market, and which could well fly under the radar (from my reasonably well educated SEO POV).

However, I don't think bug bounties necessarily need to equal the 'market value' of the bug, whatever that means.

Same issue, keyboard on 2018 had issues. Key broke and Apple deemed it "accidental damage" because of my efforts to clean the key following their support article.
>Personal anecdote, but it's nice to see the growing maturity of the Indian audience - no one in my circle of friends and family is complaining that big names such as Linkin Park, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay et al. and rock/metal biggies (Slipknot/Dream Theater/Pantera et al.) are missing. Growing tastes, perhaps?

Or merely a circle of friends totally unrepresentative of mainstream Indian tastes?

Slaves were not slaves because whites were trying to save them from themselves. They were slaves because they provided cheap labor. Any other argument is just a rationalization, a story for slave owners to tell themselves to make themselves feel better.

Both Washington and Jefferson owned plantations that profited from slave labor. Your comparison with the modern liberal should try to take that fact into account.
I’m not too familiar with this hypothesis, do you have any sources I can refer to?

Google reveals 'BuggyCow,' a rare macOS zero-day vulnerability
During my 18 months at Google circa 2015, I used the following repos: google3, Android, ChromeOS, and Chrome browser. 1 is 4 for large values of 1, after all.

One telling question is whether there have been any efforts to unify these repos. Monorepos can come about passively, through uncontrolled growth. But if you truly believe in the monorepo, surely you'll knock down the barriers and unify the distinct repos. Has Google done that?

If they've actively chosen not to, why not? Is Android separate from google3 for hysterical raisins, or on sound principles, or some mix? Is there a cross platform repo for shared code?
From the readme:

“~2.5 Mpps (or ~5 Gbps of IMIX traffic) per core on a modern CPU”

Note CPU unspecified in above.

A Xeon-D 1541 (2.1GHz) will do 2.44 Mpps, (Simple IMIX) and a i7-6950X will do 3.27 Mpps running AES-GCM-128 and VPP.

A kernel-based Linux implementation will do a bit under 500 Kpps running the same algorithm.

The keying algorithm seems interesting, and is vaguely Wireguard-like (would be more if it used a public-private keypair).
They're shutting it down in the same way they shut down terrorists.
>It's a harder problem, but civilization is essentially built of attempts to solve such problem.

I fundamentally, emphatically disagree with this. I think it's a weird rewriting of history to think that "Civilization was built by trying to stop wealth transfers within powerful families".

Do I think a lot of wealth is trapped within a few families, and that might be a problem? Sure. Do I think that the ability to destroy generational wealth transfers is what made Civilization? No, and I think it's absolutely crazy to think so. It ignores every great family in history that did everything from win wars to build railroads.
Software & systems engineering. I am tired of Apple positioning themselves as premium brand and fucking up every product cycle since Steve Jobs passed away. I need very little and I would like to pay them but not for these broken ideas like removing the jack from all mobile devices or screwing with the keyboard. If they are serious about being a premium brand they have to do better.

Amazon prime music also has a very large collection of music + gaana.com offers yearly memberships for 99rs and Jio has saavn which is free for Jio users (at least currently) so they are up against some very tough competition since most of these services are ad free and free.

I think DarkMatter is right on 64 bit entropy discussion, requirements are clearly wrong unfortunately.

- it says you should use 64-bit entropy as output from a CSPRNG

- it says Serial number is a signed number

If you use 64bit serial, you clearly lose 1 bit. That means any certificate with 64bit serial is not conforming to the standard.
Sorry, I don't ascribe to the theory that people shouldn't use their observations of industry/society/media/etc and brains to make deductions unless there's a ready-made paper and some stats they can quote.

I came with this hypothesis on my own, without referencing some media industry analyst...

The published wireguard results are questionable, as the reported results 1011Mbps on a documented -Gbps NIC is impossible even before considering the protocol/framing overhead, which is within 2 bytes of IPSec ESP using AES-GCM-128 with the standard nonce.

If Apple cared enough about detecting issues before a "-gate" happens, then "-gate"s would hardly ever happen.

"We'll fix it in a later iteration, possibly" isn't a credible attitude from a company whose prices are already wildly inflated and hard to justify.

Let us hope that you are correct. We would still need to fortify laws against data collection that is fiercely enforced (although already being a requirement in many constitutions in the western sphere).
That would require oversight with severe consequences for any program breaking the rules. Personal consequences up the chain. Intelligence agencies have morphed to petty criminal gangs. Even if you can easily argue that they have been criminal before...
Hang in there. Things change. Society as a whole takes it's own sweet time to make hard choices. But we do.

Otherwise the market would still have slave ships running.

Is it possible to speed things up? History says no.

But scaling things fast is a very new thing.

Islam took a few hundred years to spread from Delhi to Lisbon. That was before the invention of the printing press. The Reformation after the printing press, took a hundred years of war before most not all got along with each other.

Today Fortnite or what the Kardashians are upto spreads through the globe in a few months.

This is a new thing. And sooner or later someone will figure out how to infect minds positively at the same rate.
Reading the bug reports, it seems that Firefox allows access to 127.0.0.1 ports if the originating website is not https.

I agree with your point but it's not what I'm talking about.

I was trying to say that from my (together with some other Chinese people's) perspective, it is "more moral" to re-enter China because it helps Chinese people to educate themselves better by giving a significant better search service. I don't see it as a way to help our gov. to suppress us. Quite the opposite, actually.

Again, I respect our ideality or value difference. But I think I should voice my view on it.
Yes. There are different kinds of programmers, different way of thinking. Just as there are personality tests, there could be tests to identify what type of developer you are to select a set of tools and configurations that are better matched.
That may work in China (maybe), but I'm afraid it doesn't stand a chance in the US--probably still the biggest CO2 emitter overall and certainly the highest per capita.

No, my strategy is to spread this message far and wide, and encourage others to do so too, until hopefully enough people are convinced and choose to do so. I kinda went overboard with the comments on this one article, but I was inspired.

Sometimes I wonder if turning carbon-piety into a religion (or vice versa) would be the way to go. After all, the way I see it, the defining characteristic of US conservatives, who generally oppose individual actions and government mandates to reduce carbon, is religiousness. "Forgive me father for I have flown in an airplane again this month."
Yeah, well you haven’t been paying enough attention. As a result of funding, drugs are now widely and cheaply available that effectively suppress HIV and, when taken as a prophylactic, prevent infection.

Decades of research means that science now has a clearer understanding of the mechanisms behind HIV and has used that to develop tools to control it. Because it is not “cured” yet does not mean that funding research is bad.
Are you seriously claiming that you can understand seal script inscriptions?

Spikes in Google searches and personal anecdotes are not proof an issue. What has been shown was that Apple throttled iPhones with dying batteries (which they communicated they would do in the update notes for iOS 10, albeit in a really poor way). There's really nothing else to this unless someone has found another thing to this effect.
