I think you're on to something there in re: clearly vocalized morals --> strikes people as judgmental and therefore provokes attempts to dismantle.

Re : definition : the funny thing is that, if I recall correctly, the Vegan Society's original raison d'etre was that they objected to the increasing liberality of people calling themselves "vegetarian" [eating cheese and such, whereas the V.S. felt that a 'vegetarian' ought to abstain from all animal products like Bronson Alcott, etc]. I guess I just don't place sufficient value in the label itself to give credence to any particular definition thereof -- it's just a shorthand to me, not a -- I dunno, uh, organized moral affiliation?

p.s. I used to say "strict vegetarian," but not only did people take that as being more strident than "vegan," but then when they found out I [for example] also didn't wear silk, they'd be like "oh you're veeegan!" and I be like "OK, as you wish!"

re : the Marder book : no need for embarrassment -- Marder is kind of a space cadet and roughly half the book is dedicated to ruminations on dead European philosophers -- it's kind of a chore to machete one's way through. BUT! The other half of it is actually some pretty arresting insights [or, at least, questions!] concerning ethics + morality + exploitation + hierarchy + organisms. I started it thinking Marder was a fool and finished it thinking he was the sharpest axe in the shed.

You're right.

But I'm more curious as to the people that can't get into Stanford and have to go to lesser schools like I did - what exactly are we to do? It's pretty clear that our outcomes are not going to be as good by any means, and it seems like political correctness limits any discussion of that.

Since people realised writing the same code in two different languages is a waste of time and the async-first nature of NodeJS/libuv is ideal for use in microservices.

Compare implementing back-end form validation in PHP and a completely different implementation front-end validation in JS vs using the exact same implementation on both sides. The former approach requires more work, creates a larger maintenance burden and a greater area for inconsistency and error because you need to maintain functional consistency between the two different implementations in the two different languages

Counterpoint (which I'm not fully convinced of myself, to be fair): CAs are supposed to be interchangeable and easy to revoke. While the CA ecosystem as a whole must be robust, no individual CA can be too big to fail. If a serious bug is found in software used by one or a few CAs (imagine something like the Debian OpenSSL bug from 11 years ago), revoking them and requiring customers to move to other CAs is feasible. If a serious bug is found in software used by all CAs, you can't revoke all the certs on the web and leave HTTPS useless globally while CAs set up new software.

On a tangent: one practice I'd genuinely like to see for security reasons (and which I'm surprised the CAs haven't proposed themselves, since it would make them twice as much money) is that major sites should always hold valid certs from two CAs, so that if a CA gets revoked it's just updating a file or even flipping a feature flag and certainly not signing up with a new CA. It would make sense to have two certs generated by different software, then. (It might also make sense, re abuse of power concerns, to present both certs and have browsers verify that a site has two valid certs from two organizationally-unrelated CAs. That way you can be significantly more confident that the certs aren't fraudulent.)
English skills aren't the best but I don't think that's the issue. Substandard education drives the unemployability and poor infrastructure drives the lack of jobs outside the bigger tech metros (Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai IMO).
I don't necessarilly agree with his decision to build all images by hand as opposed to using those available on Dockerhub, however it's a personal choice and I respect it.

Given that he's using docker-compose, I wonder why he's chosen to host his images in a repository at all, instead of just specifying the Dockerfile in the yaml and having them locally.
The reason the drug trade was so lucrative in the first place was because of the break of the black family and jobs going abroad. It is exactly the same story with the opioid epidemic.

The only reason there is no "war against drugs" now is because Obama couldn't care less about white people and their problems. At least Trump understand the situation and is trying to do something about it. Luckily for the whites the fact that Obama didn't care saved them from the violence of the drugs on war, but let's not pretend that there is no a big cultural different between whites and black which was responsible to the gang culture in the black community.
I recently upgraded my simple web facing CV site over to a couple containers and front-ended with Traefik. What's really nice about it is if you run the host as a single-node Swarm you get a lot of freebies with regard to service discovery. I also use Traefik in my internal network to front-end Heimdall [0] in a container. This affords me a very elegant internal network dashboard, bastion host (proxy) and presents all my internal services with LetsEncrypt valid certificates (no more internal self-signed cert warnings).

I've been meaning to start blogging again and use this as a first topic.

> 25X is the difference between surviving a commute on a bicycle vs a car

Meaningless and misleading comparison at best.

According to numbers released by Boeing [1] itself, the original 737 designed back in 1967 had a hull loss of 1.75 per million flights, the 737 NG designed in the late 1990s to early 2000s had a hull loss rate of 0.27 per million flights. So Boeing 737 had a 7X less likelihood to crash as the results of 30 years of improvements. 25X difference is going to send the highly unsafe 737 MAX design back to the WWII level. Now think again whether WWII era aircrafts with similar crash likelihood should be allowed to carry passengers in huge volume in 2019.

You number proves one thing and one thing only - FAA has the legal and moral obligations to ground all those highly dangerous 737 MAX immediately.

Why have a file transfer for imp docs when you can have a single authoritative source of truth for those docs, along with version history and who changed what.

So why not just use Google Drive (or dropbox)?

I feel with features like secure file sharing (though only with other ppl with google accounts), reasonably good security[1] and Inactive Account Manager[2] it should work for legal docs. Especially considering Google is going to be around for a while.

I would rather use a Mozilla offering but they don't really have too many things for regular consumers outside of firefox and send.

These universities publicly portray their admissions process as meritocratic. They go out of their way to dispel the notion that buying your way in is officially an option. That it IS an option, in spite of their assurances, is corruption in my book, regardless of whether or not it's an open secret.

What kind of instance is that on?

Thanks for the article, very informative.
You don't need any such "ceremony" for this sort of protocol, no trusted setup is required at all: you can use a hash function to select random group elements.

All thats required is that that the dlog between the respective group elements is unknown, they don't need special properties other than that.

This makes it unlike the trusted setup of things like zcash (as mentioned in the grandparent post) which cannot be simply initialized randomly.
The reason for the urgent fixes is to promote uniformly applied rules. There are certain predefined rules that CAs need to follow, regardless of whether the individual rules help security or not. The rules say the certs that are badly formed need to be reissued in 5 days.

If these rules are not followed and no penalties are applied, then later on when other CAs make more serious mistakes they'll point to this and say "Apple and Google got to disobey the rules, so we should as well, otherwise it's favoritism to Apple and Google."
This is a graduate school ranking based on a survey and fairly meaningless due to how it's done:

Specialty rankings of doctoral science programs are based solely on nominations by department heads and directors of graduate studies at peer schools. These respondents ranked up to 10 programs in each area. Those with the most votes appear in the rankings tables.

This biases the result towards top regional schools, whose peers rate them highly over well-known schools that are otherwise great, but have weaker CS programs than its best peers. Either way, this has no real relevance in terms of comparing the quality of those who complete their undergraduate programs. The selection effect dominates all other factors here and almost no school has separate admissions for computer science (not aware of any in fact other than CMU) which means to the extent most people rank them, it is roughly in order of the overall prestige of the undergraduate program in general. I mean University of Wisconsin - Madison is a great school, but on average, you won't find their graduates to be quite as good as Harvard or Yale grads.

Huge number of third world pilots are flying other models of Boeing 737, they obviously didn't crash that often.

They are just blaming the victims, trying to let those already killed pilots to take responibility for their faulty designs.
like some countries/societies jumped straight into cell/smartphones by-passing the landline stage, i think such areas like Amazon should and would go straight the way of "flying car" (all those multi-copters popping around e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNxoHqZGYa0 - just add ICE/hybrid generator for range and tilt-able ducts for safety). Much less environmental damage, cheaper than whole road infrastructure and much faster to cover those distances.
I also like how there's no mention of revoking the admins' credentials after Guardium detected the anomaly. I would say it's obvious that they changed the password, but then I may be giving them too much credit.
I just read a comment someone posted here about how DC and NYC grew up too much to support large scale drug operations and so Baltimore consequently has this fate. Then I logged in to reply to it and it vanished. I thought it was an interesting theory.
I thought it was well-known that 737s have been flying for decades, and an issue with a 737-Max would, necessarily, be about that specific plane.

I certainly don't expect people to grasp the nuance between the 737-max800/max900, if there is one in this regard.

Environment variables are the best way to handle feature flags. The 12 factor app provides some guidance for doing it the right way. [0]

Feature flags do introduce complexity, but that can be partially mitigated by having good defaults and deleting flags once they're no longer needed. Even without that, as long as there are good defaults, you won't run into any problems until you have hundreds of flags.

I once worked on a system with tens of thousands of configuration flags that could all be overridden in an inheritance-esque chaining scheme, like Server A inherits regional config Foo which inherits from business unit config Bar, which inherits from three other 5000 line properties files. And naturally, almost none of these properties had defaults, so starting from scratch with a new configuration was impossible, leading to snowballing technical debt from copy pasting old configs. shudders

I think this is only true under the assumption "voice recognition (and transcription) is solved". I think most would consider this assumption to not be true. If it is not true, then there is value to that voice data, as it can be used to help train.

I guess another assumption could be "they have more than enough voice data to train any future network improvements." While I feel they have a lot of voice data, I am skeptical to say that they wouldn't view more data as useful, or at least potentially useful.

I cannot think of a compelling reason for why they would stop collecting data all of a sudden. Can you? (Serious question, I don't mean to sound snarky)
So you let in people with dubious qualification that wouldn’t have met the entry requirements. Yet they seem to graduate from these schools. Therefore curriculum must be simple enough that even less qualified|gifted|hardworking can pass. How does that make those graduates feel that got in legit, and worked hard for their degrees?

As a side note - somehow this topic and the wrong it represents to me makes me want to cry for mob justice.

I believe there have been pretty conclusive studies that most, if not all, of the peanut smell reactions are psycosomatic. Which is not to say that can't be dangerous as well. But apparently, some have had such bad reactions to peanuts in the past, that the mere smell just causes them to freak out. When the smell is masked, they generally have no reaction. Similar to the many non-siliac gluten allergies.
I actually don't understand the big fuss. Hackernoon was a publication on Medium. They asked writers for opt-in to republish content. Some writers were confused. Medium sent an email clarifying writers right. Writers can decide whether to give consent or not - all good.

The only problem I have is with the language Medium used: "moving content." If Medium is indeed the platform, publications should NOT have the ability to "move" content. They can delete their publication, but articles should remain on Medium and all existing links should redirect to the article. I believe this is the case, which means the language is deceptive.

If this is NOT the case, then the product has a big problem.

Canadian consumers as a group pay the same amount for milk as a group, regardless of how much or little milk they demand, by means of government regulation. Canadian dairy farmers as a group receive the same amount regardless of how much or little milk they produce and how much or little milk consumers demand.

That the subsidy to the farmers is coming as $.30 per liter of milk as opposed to a single check at the end of the month doesn’t make it any less of a subsidy.

> Much less environmental damage

How is that possible?
If the median is A-, that means more than half the students are not getting an A. If we accept that Harvard does have some of the best students, well at least best at getting good grades, since that is at least partially how they get in, why shouldn't they have better grades on average? To do otherwise would seem unfair to the students, since people are often judged on grades by people who don't have any perspective as to what a given grade means at a given institution. It would not be surprising if getting an A at Harvard is still substantially harder on an absolute basis than getting an A at a much lesser school that has a much lower average.

I've also been reminded of that. But performance / safety tradeoffs are totally different for military vs civilian aircraft. Military pilots have agreed to far greater risks than civilian pilots. And far^N greater risks than civilian passengers.
