Since version 2003, Windows Certificate Services has automated issuance and renewal to domain joined clients managed via Group Policy. It just works and many orgs use this for managing VPN certificates to fleets of Windows clients, as well as internal TLS server certs. It uses Kerberos/AD for validating certificate names.

No ACME of course, but considering the MSFT certificate management protocol pre-dates ACME by more than a decade that’s not surprising. Traditional manual issuance after CR submission workflow is also supported for any OS.
Can we not detect it early? Or do we just not run the tests?

We missed our opportunity with chat about a decade or so ago. When all the disparate chat protocols (MSN, Yahoo, AOL, etc) were battling it out, we should have decided on a protocol then. Sure, we'd see some growing pains now with how to deal with encryption, but at least we'd have a ubiquitous chat protocol. Chat is now worth billions of dollars apparently, so that proverbial cat is nowhere near the bag.
I would love to be able to sign up with, say, Fastmail for chat and be able to chat with whomever I wish and it just work. As it is, I have be signed up with 4 different services and they don't talk to each other. Sigh.
Cloudflare generates their revenue through their paid plans and enterprise customers. I think the selling location data to the bounty hunter market against the terms of their privacy policy is rather a bit small of a market opportunity to be worth it to any rational actor...
I remember working with the Amstrad PCW, which had an interesting layout for the video memory. The pixels in the 90x32 character monochrome display were stored in character order. The 1st 8 bytes were the leftmost character, the next 8 were the character to the right, and so on. This wasn't the only complexity as there was a lookup table to give the memory location of each of the 32 screen lines. The advantage of this table was very quick character scrolling, at the expense of computing the location of individual pixels. It was rather tricky to write quick Z80 code to draw line with this quirky setup, but some people managed some rather nice vector games, such as Starglider.
... so, what's the money for? I assume they're already profitable...
Most nations are developing increasingly sophisticated regulatory approaches for how the Internet is allowed to operate within their borders. There can be no successor as nearly every nation will have their own requirements, guaranteeing no successor can ever be flexible enough to fit all of them. A successor will end stillborn of hundreds of different regulatory demands: death by committee of 195 nations. Had the Internet originally been conceived in today's environment, with input from dozens of nations, each with their own self-interest at stake, it would have never survived and spread. The sole reason the Internet worked, is because it was initially built by a very small group (compared to the hands touching it today).

Instead what will happen, is haphazard forced customization of the existing Internet. They will beat and punch it into the shape they want it to be domestically. That approach will continue for a minimum of the next 20 to 30 years. Nothing can stop it. The adoption is too high, the investment is too high. Instead of ditching that epic macro investment, nations will bastardize what's already in place and bend it to their own socio-cultural needs or demands. China has already demonstrated how well that can work, how far you can go in molding it to whatever your demands are. If China can do that, others can mostly do what they want with it and will.

The Internet will hyper balkanize, just as most systems from one border to the next tend to (with some exceptions for agreements between large pools like the US & EU). There will never be a replacement system that goes global as the Internet did. It's a one-off - like first discovering a new piece of land nobody had explored before - as nations build frameworks (off their experience with the Internet) to regulate how any digital network can operate, which will make it impossible to smoothly launch a new global network to challenge the Internet. Every aspect of operating socially and commercially on the Internet will get more expensive on average, and especially if your attempt is to operate globally (locally there will be exceptions, countries with low regulatory hurdles and annoyances, but those will be overwhelmingly small nations like an Estonia, New Zealand or Switzerland etc). Internet regulation and control will soar on average, it'll become the compliance nightmare that everything else is that governments get their hands on. That will benefit anybody that gets out of the gate before the barriers get too steep; it will stagnate innovation in most cases and punish anybody that arrives later to the party. Nearly all systems regulated by governments evolve and exist in that mode of suffering, with few exceptions.

Considering you just invoked appeal to authority, does this seem the slightest bit ironic to you?

I don't have an Alexa myself, I'm a Google Home user. One thing that's always impressed me is the ability of Alexa to order things from Amazon just by issuing voice commands. Although, I'm sure that comes with its own host of problems, especially if you're not just ordering a generic product.
Depends on what "phones home" meant.

I agree. I do love some of what CloudFlare does, and they definitely contribute back to networking infrastructure in ways I wish other companies did and that's why I'm not entirely against them. Competition is healthy definitely. I do appreciate what they're doing with Go as well given that they've contributed code to Go itself (iirc).
I agree with what you are saying in principle. However, the MCAS system apparently is designed to not kick in when the flaps are extended. In your situation, since you were descending to land, the flaps would have been extended and MCAS wouldn't be activated. The pilot would have kept the flaps that way until the aircraft reaches a certain altitude.

FAA, US Govt, and Boeing will continue to dig their heads deeper into the sand because Boeing is basically an arm of US policy at this point and the US Govt at this time will never admit to or show any weakness

5 months ago when the Lion Air crash happened, an HN commenter ridiculed me for saying Boeing made a crappy design choice to automate what pilots already did manually, without telling the pilots. The HN commenter basically said "we here at Boeing are working hard, how dare you"

well, now more people are dying. do we dismiss them as collateral damage from the "third world", or do we own up to the problem created by a poor design choice?
>Protonmail has been a huge disappointment personally. It took days of trying to get my email in over the IMAP bridge, and now it still has weird spazzes where it will suddenly decide to redownload all my 30k emails

I've never had this problem, but since you mention the IMAP bridge it's worth noting that a) the linux version of the bridge is still an on-request beta rather than a freely available download despite working flawlessly for me for the last year and a half and b) you can only use the IMAP bridge with subscribed accounts. So if you're using a free account you can't use it at all, but if you have a mix of paid and free accounts only the paid accounts can use the bridge.

I find the bridge pretty nice in and of itself, but the way it's managed and monetized is a bit of a trainwreck.
I bought an Echo speaker when they first came out. The sound quality is impressive (to my untrained ear), but the development experience is not.

The first thing I wanted to do was to add a feature so I could add a task to my to-do list software which is not supported by Alexa. It turns out that you cannot construct a sentence along the lines of "Tell Asana to add a task: <task>". You can't actually have a 'slot' which contains a freeform piece of text, even if it is the last piece of text in the sentence.

The Alexa API differs between regions, so the North America version of the API supports this but the EU version doesn't. It was removed from the NA version for a while but placed back after a bit of an uproar.

I think you could develop some more useful stuff using Alexa if only this feature was consistently available. I cannot think of a good reason why it isn't.

I now just mainly have it as a Spotify speaker, and occasionally I use it as an expensive egg timer. I normally have it on mute because I find it activates and starts recording private conversations. I don't see it getting better.
Yeah, I've started to grow conflicted on that too. I used to hate it because Safari was lagging behind so far and users couldn't switch, but it also forces web developers to test for interoperability with at least one other browser engine, making it more likely to work in others as well.

Safari has caught up a bit, luckily, but it'd be great if it would actually compete with other browsers on features. Unfortunately, I guess if Apple opened up iOS to other browser engines, it'd also compete against Google's marketing machine and reach.

> Just don’t do it. If its not work related, stop.

I see where you’re coming from. I personally don’t use work computers for anything other than work related matters. However, I also know that this is not typically how work computers are used. Some people watch Netflix or Youtube clips during lunch. While I’m aware that there are secured environments where certain services are blocked due to security requirements (as they should be), many people work in environments where streaming Youtube or Netflix is not a security concern.

To get back on point, I think the issue of browsing while at work is one having to do with being reasonable: if employees choose to browse while at work then they should do so in a way which is reasonable to others. Looking at the odd Youtube clip here and there after someone brought it up in conversation is reasonable (assuming the content is Sfw, but that’s a whole other discussion). I listen to music while programming, using Apple music and Spotify. I know other people who use the Youtube streaming service.
I definitely agree with your first point, but from personal experience the second one is debatable. It certainly depends on the specific activity, and will change with time.

For instance, while quantitative research during the explosion of Black-Scholes-based modeling and complex financial products was intellectually interesting, after the 2008 crisis the focus moved to maintaining existing models (mostly trying not to lose money on legacy products) and implementing various regulations (e.g. central clearing requirements).

Given the expense and size of airliners, it might be worth determining AoA via tracking minute dust particles with LIDAR. That should be highly reliable, with very direct speed measurement in airflow that isn't in any way disturbed by the aircraft. You also get airspeed.

Maybe there is an alternative to AoA. The whole point is to determine how air will be affecting surfaces such as the wing, so one could instead just put pressure transducers all over the aircraft. From that you can determine how close you are to stalling. You can even tell where on the aircraft a stall is imminent.
Thanks. Looking into this right now

Browsers (uniquely mozilla) can have a major role here. If they would provide a universal way to share identity, or even a fricionless cryptographic sign-in, and an instant payment solution that would already open up new avenues to compete with walled gardens. However they don't seem too eager to do such things, perhaps aided by the funding they get from said walled gardens.

The whole point of C++ from day one was to add objects and classes which are supposed to be higher-level than C's structures and functions. Perhaps even more to the point, most people talk about "modern C++" as something different and higher-level even than day-one C++. I'm even inclined to agree. Collections and RAII and lambdas do provide higher levels of abstraction. They just still fall well short of what other languages do in terms of letting programmers focus on their domain-specific problems instead of low-level mechanisms.
Ordering via Alexa is something I would definitely, never do, in any scenario.
I'd suggest Cloudflare's main product is the WAF / DDoS protection / concealment, the CDN is a nice plus of course but as soon as you start to really use it they ask you to upgrade anyway.

Agreed. It looks like a Doctor Who logo or something. Not nice.

I worked full remote for about 4 years, and I've found it's less efficient and rewarding as part-remote, flexi working. It's nice to avoid rush hour and work from home a day or two a week, but it can also be really useful to discuss more complicated things in person. Often fully remote workers can find themselves becoming seconded-class employees because they get left out of many of the casual office conversations regarding the direction of projects, etc.
For Google, it would've been easy. Rank some other Warren-related site above her antitrust page. If they can't find one, have someone make one.

For $100, they should've left it alone.
Cloudflare's DNS is probably the least exciting aspect of their product. The real value add is in their proxy/CDN, which is pretty difficult to compete with.

I am not sure which implementation Excel uses under the hood -- Excel's flash fill feature has been there for quite some time; PROSE (which strans uses) has not, and Excel is not listed in its impact section. So this seems to hint at the fact that the engine Excel uses is different. Anyhow, the idea behind both definitely comes from the same team, and Sumit Gulwani in particular.
The key moment to me in the AF447 incident was when the pilot woke up.

I understand you can have the junior guy flying. I can even understand the intermittent conditions that could lead to mis-identification of aircraft status. But any system, no matter what's in there, should be able to have the senior person on-board approach it from waking up and understand what the heck is going on. That is a requirement of the overall system.

Could we continue to train our way of more and more complex avionics? Sure. Maybe. How would we ever know that we've reached a point where that's no longer an option? I'm happy with my "sleepy senior pilot" criteria. If that's not it, what is?

It's not unusual for pilots to drift in and out of quasi-consciousness when doing hard aerobatic maneuvers. That usually works fine because there are only so many things to look at. Contrast that to your average GA instrument pilot. There's more stuff. They're taught extensively on partial panel -- but the thing that kills far too often is that pilots suck at figuring out when a system is going bad. It's not flying the airplane. It's trying to figure out what the airplane is telling you.

Anybody that's been doing software for any length of time at all knows that computers can tell you a lot more complicated and nuanced stuff than you can absorb. The pilots and the airplane should never be fighting one another.
