That's getting harder and harder as people add HSTS.

There's still neverssl.com, but with the most popular pages using HSTS like Google Facebook and Reddit, captive portal detection is essential for your average user.

Although I wish the IETF would make a standard for doing this at the network level as part of DHCP rather than the current ridiculousness we have. Captive portals are just the buggiest shit.
I have mostly index funds, but I bought a share of Tesla and a couple of other companies because I want them to succeed. Not because I expect them to. Its amazing what they've accomplished so far, but it's still a rocky road ahead
I know it's about litigation and looking out for themselves, but Boeing had to have been apprised of the reports and findings from multiple agencies about the circumstances of the crash prior to this announcement. Surely, some granule of awareness had to sink in for Boeing and the CEO to realize "Damn, we fucked up." One way or another, the public is going to realize Boeing seriously fucked up, whether they will admit it or not. The total dollar amount of the damage is still going to be settled in court, but there's no escaping the fact that Boeing's actions had an impact in this catastrophe. Boeing would have to be incredibly oblivious to hold a position that they had nothing to do with this.

But that's not how this whole show goes. CEOs are like robots that only act happy or serious. Go into a press conference and act all remorseful for the public, but don't ever offer a genuine apology or own up to the company's actions. Then when all the legal dust clears, the CEO can give a later update about how he is "shocked and appalled" that a verdict could possibly blame Boeing. What a joke.

A captive portal is a login screen of a service that prevents other activity unless logged in.

My guess is that Firefox will not try to check for updates or other things if it notices that the detectportal-request was not successful (i.e. the user is not logged into the hotel-wifi or something like this yet).
I suppose this one offers an all-in-one package, while openresty is really just an nginx server with builtin Lua(JIT) support.
I like your point "and nuclear, where palatable".

I think that until marketers can convince Joe Public that nuclear is probably the safest and best tech now we have Gen IV reactors, and that they are the best way to remove by-products of older generations, we will continue to degrade our environment searching for energy.
You need to be able to troubleshoot things in production though.

Perhaps whenever a developer wants to troubleshoot the orchestrator could make a clone of the container. The clone continuously receives the same input as the original and gets to believe that it affects the back end in the same way. That way the developer can dissect the container without impacting real data.
It's somehow funny to see waves of nostalgia pop up. I remember seeing comments about LoTR from kids who grew up with it. "they dont make movie like that anymore".. it was their <starwars>
That's two billion roughly per life lost. Seems like a small price to pay. The CEO should be going to jail too. I highly doubt any of this will happen. Human lives are probably worth a million or two at most to a corporation like Boeing and the political apparatus that lets it operate these planes.
This might be simply Russian state propaganda working, but wouldn't the
diversification of the world's currencies be a good thing? Remember how everyone
were afraid of the collapse of the US Dollar back in 2008, and then the similar
predictions about the Euro? (And we're hearing a lot about the Great Britain's
Pound these days.)
Is this an attempt by Bezos to establish some kind of precedent? I cannot see a vote on this specific issue going against Amazon.
How much of your valuable land would you like to convert to forest? Unless we start paying people more to keep forests than they otherwise could in real estate, agriculture, etc it is a nice argument that trees can sequester carbon but unrealistic that it can happen on a scale large enough to move the needle.
I'm a bit annoyed when people talk about "fake news" as if everyone understands what that means. It seems pretty clear to me that different people have different conceptions of what that is.
I heared somewhere (Some blogs comment section, I believe) that gzip actually reduces the security of HTTPS; maybe someone can confirm / explain that?

some interesting reading on the topic:

(you can find more by searching PubMed).
Granted I have mostly done research on cyclists. What we tend to see is an increase in the strength of respiratory musculature which leads to an increase in functional lung capacity and this capacity would not vary much between individuals (even between pro cyclists and high-level amateurs). More important than lung capacity for performance is your diffusing capacity (how fast you can move oxygen from lungs to your red blood cells). In sports other than swimming, it's always possible to breathe faster, which benefits from a strong respiratory musculature.

when it comes to freedivers, it's slightly different. They are forcefully stretching their lungs (which doesn't happen with normal aerobic training or breath holding to the same extent)

in this study https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/41/3/760.long they stretched their lungs as much as +800 ml.
Clinton was predicted to be the next president by everyone. If you had to choose the target of your limited efforts the person who was projected at winning with 70% by the most conservative estimates, and had already turned the middle east into a charnel house, she would have been the one you should spend all your efforts on by any sane calculus.

There should be a name for the mental disorder where you see one group of people being behind everything that's gone wrong with the world. It's probably racism, since s/Russians/Jews/g makes you sound like an anti-semite.
Sure, but southwest already has US pilots, many of them ex-military, who have all of the advantages I've mentioned.
For me, cross platform, offline access, and good UI are paramount. LP checks all that but random scripts on a Linux command line doesn't even remotely cut it.

Firefox's password safe comes close it seems, but I haven't read too many opinions about it.
The big problem is that these people don't understand what current tech really is. The media and Musk have hyped this up as "AI" but it's not even remotely AI. These people go around and present slides as if sky is falling and induce massive FUD in general public. There is no real AI as far as anyone technical is concerned. So whole deal about "AI Ethics" is great way to get on AI train and get massive salaries for non-technical people. There are few things were policy is needed like surveillance and detecting model bias - but these are very few things and they do need awareness of actual capabilities and understanding of tech.

Slight correction, they turned off the stab trim and tried to manually re-trim the plane, but the aerodynamic loading on the stabilizer was so great that they couldn't turn the trim wheel by hand. So, sadly, they re-engaged the stab trim and began to use the switches to trim up, but the MCAS came back 5 seconds later, trimmed down again, and flew them into the ground.
1969 and 1970. That was the time Bell Labs withdrew from MULTICS project and a couple of developers who found themselves without a job starter working internally on a little word processor suite called UNIX.
I personally use Syncthing, and it's fine as long as the computer you're trying to get data from doesn't go down at any time.
I'm using chrome bookmarks but i've collected over the years/decades more than 10k links (well categorized, can't say if this is a lot or not) making them a bit hard to search/use.
I wonder what is the average size of the collection of those who use one of these online services.
There were many reasons why nvidia won, but a higher bit-depth wasn't one of them.
I absolutely agree with you and him.

What I find distasteful is that the people who were cheering him on when he was doing it to Republicans are now calling him a Russian asset for doing it to democrats.

And vice versa for the Republicans.
You can have opinion on anything without knowing anything. This is what forums like this is about :). But if you want to give an informed opinion, you do need to understand the tech. For example, how do you decide what restrictions to put in export of nuclear power tech if you have no clue how it can be re-purposed to make a bomb?
> Democrats were all for it.

Er, no, they generally weren't. WikiLeaks support on the left at the time was mostly from the far left that sees the Democrats as virtually indistinguishable from the Republicans. WikiLeaks has never had support (except maybe in the context of the Trump campaign) from any substantial portion of either major US party.
I might be misunderstanding something here bit is helm really atmoic?

Sure, it'll manage sets, but will it really flip versions in an atmoic way and does this really matter when it's doing 3 rolling upgrades, without anything to manage which traffic goes where?

It's possible it does more than I think it does, but I'm also wondering if atomic is the right word here?
One can most certainly pick even a single winner at random.

Equal chance to represent, there is no fairer way than that.

Voting inherently leads to a money/campaign/popularity contest (and parties, more often than not 2), it is very good at keeping the status quo by feeding back to itself.

I'm not aware of any large scale studies of election method preferences, but keep in mind 1. people are used to voting 2. even if they are aware fairer methods exist their self interest is to keep voting if they think they will benefit from the resulting unfair system.

I think the intent is to make life hard for whistleblowers to discourage others from doing the same.
Spaces is for object storage, stuff like videos, images, documents, etc. You can store references(links) to this objects in postgres if you want (very common thing to do).

Block storage is for adding volumes to your droplets (like adding a second hard drive to a computer). One advantage is that they are separated from your droplet and replicated, if your droplet disappears or dies, you can reattach the volume to another droplet. So one common use is to place the data dir of PG for example, in the external volume. You should still have proper backups. DO also has a managed PG service.
Anyone can have an opinion. When a person's title at a company is "Nuclear Weapon Ethics" and they go around giving talks, I would 100% expect them to have some sort of practical experience and knowledge in that domain.

Just because you know a thing or two about ethics doesn't mean you are equipped to discuss a particular domain.

How can you possibly begin to discuss AI Ethics if you have no idea how it works or what's -realistically- possible?
The Irony of Random Passwords for Each Service (2015)
My favourite way of illustrating the difference between 1st order and 2nd order thinking is actually a quote by Frederik Pohl:

"A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam."
There's an opt-in flag set in the data on the screenshot.

Something went wrong and the author (that's the ABP-creator, right?) is just making a mountain out of a molehill.
The Aging Puzzle
Two years ago I submitted a ticket asking them to add the "copy password" option to SSH key type entries. A simple and obvious feature. They said they'd look in to it, then nothing. Meanwhile in that time all I've seen them change has been the animations in the menu.
The Web Time Machine – Movie Compilation
It would not be good for the US but may be that good for other countries. U.S would loose some of its financial control(i.e sanctions, monitoring individuals etc).

Anyway NOPEC will not happen as long as oil maintains is importance to the world economy. I doubt US is going to invade SA anytime soon.

Well, that's the reason why such a board shouldn't consist of non-tech people only. But if the tech people can't explain to the philosophers etc. what the current and future state of tech is so those can form an educated opinion on it than it's a pretty bad situation. I don't want to let the tech bubble decide on ethical questions. They failed spectacular on it in the last decade already and with ML tools becoming more and more popular, the range of misuse is growing also.
me neither, but it will generate press and it could be tighter then expected.
五地区进入“国家灾难”状态 韩国东海岸发生山林大火
央视网消息：韩国东海岸江原道束草市西郊附近地区4号晚发生火灾，大火已经造成1人死亡，另有数人受伤，4000余名当地居民紧急避难。起火后，大风导致火势蔓延迅速、江原道下属多个地区受大火波及。韩国政府宣布将此次火灾确定为“国家灾难”。
Yep. Some people just get sick of banging their heads against the wall, trying to make it in normal society. Life on the streets can be tough, but like anything, there are people with the skills to survive and prosper. If you're someone who gets little pleasure from responsibilities and owning things, and especially if you like to escape with drugs, being homeless in a temperate climate can look enticing.

I think it's hard to talk about it, because people hear it and think you're saying all homeless people choose to live that way. It's not like that, but some people definitely do choose that life.
That's the system we're building. We've been at it for over three years. Not long before we leave stealth mode and switch from R&D to commercialization. We're internally-funded, which means we don't answer to investors, we don't have to live in SV, SFO or NYC, we don't have to hire people the VC firms like/trust (we have senior executive experience at multi-nationals), and, most importantly, we can focus strictly on what's best for our colleagues and our patients.
Manning revealed war crimes, yet the only person who went to prison was Manning.

That's all we need to know really. The system is broken und unable to fix itself.

Edit: Free Reality Winner
They have a vulnerable disclosure program, not bug bounty, as they are not paying for bugs reported there.

Which is a shame, I have reported bugs to a lot of other password managers, but will not dedicate time to one that is not paying me for it.
I mean, Manning is in jail because Manning chooses to be in jail. Manning had an immunity deal to testify in front of a grand jury and refused to do so, leading to the contempt of court charge that currently has her in jail.

She says she doesn't believe in the concept of being compelled to testify, which is fine, but the penalty for that is jail.

/ Which Coworking Space Is Best? Ask These 'Coworkies'
Some updates for those who are interested:

1. I first tried to install this on my Win10 VM, which needed to have Docker installed. That was a terrible idea. I completely broke my VM as Docker tried to enable Hyper-V. Friends don't let friends attempt nested virtualization. I should have just run the container on the host instead, which it supports quite well.

2. The repo worked as the blog post described on my mac. Its quick and has been able to run some tricky extensions. I need to experiment with running some external dependancies still.

3. Docker commit worked nicely, making a layer for the changes I made. Still playing with this, but wow that could be very productive if it enabled me to roll back to a tested base environment, or share a full IDE image with somebody on my team.
True, true. I completely and heartily agree. Sorry that my post didn't make this clear.

OPEC is a cartel we can get behind, simply because without them price of oil would be 3 USD / barrel.

We would be at 500 ppm if not for the irrational boycott of the West by King Faisal.
I used to consult for a public service department.Their internal infrastructure was incredibly complex with hot fail-overs/redundant/scale-out hardware (running homegrown custom LoB applications for less than 200 employees). This paradoxically lead to huge downtime as no-one was smart enough to configure this mess, and deploying a new service which should have been trivial always ran into worst case scenarios.
Another way to say this is to evaluate the consequences of your actions. Good advice but don't confuse people by renaming it.
> My $.02: Given that all the cloud-based password managers have their own phone (and even desktop) apps, this seems like a moot point since a bad actor could push out an app update that does anything with your keys anyway.

I respectfully disagree that apps are the same as webpages. The big difference is that apps are signed, so if things are done properly, you only have to trust the devs of the app and whoever operate their CI.
Web pages on the other hand have no such security (yet), which means you also need to trust the cloud provider, the CDN, the fact that the website was not hacked, the ops team of the password manager, and probably anyone who is able to make a valid SSL certificate and might do MITM...

Disclosure: I work for a company that makes a cloud-based password manager.

I just picked one of the members of a union, chose a weak point, and generalized it to the whole union. Is it not similar to the Europe/Denmark situation?

How many years holed up in the embassy?

If he ends up serving jail time he won't get his sentence reduced for time spent in the embassy..

Perhaps would have been better off going to jail at the start.
The thing I like about reforestation is that it's a positive, tangible, symbolic, easily understood concept that is likely relatively easy to get public support for. Conversely, carbon reduction campaigns feel more like being scolded. When I was young, the big environmental push was centered around saving the rainforest. I would like to see a return and expansion of this idea. It has many benefits beyond just global warming such as fighting desertification.

To be clear, I also support renewables and the other things listed by OP.
Another great article. I read absolutely everything Fabien writes. His Doom and Wolfenstein books make for great reading too.
No, agreed. So in really humid weather, say, HK in the summer, the keyboard of the Pro breaks randomly if you do not care it in a watertight pouch and the indicators trigger. Not waterdamage as Apple means it to be and I have not had issues with replacements there but you wonder what the purpose of the indicators is then.
> What’s happened since 2015, by contrast? Many people still swear by their 2015 MBPs, the last model before the touchbar debacle. That Haswell based machine was getting long in the tooth even back then.

Moore's law broke. GHz and those low hanging fruits are gone. I'm using a 2013 MBP. It's a core race now but lots of legacy software that aren't coded for multicore.
Its 2 major versions behind, has limited extensions, and a tight cap on number of connections.
I'm not sure how "proper" this is, but you can also put the checkbox inside the label, turning the whole thing into one big clickable area.

So you deliberately chose to ignore the personal/conspiracy/bs dirt he was throwing all over the place even after the Clinton show was over?

I have no idea what you want to say with the second paragraph since even the 4-page summary confirms that the Russians did it.
Exactly my line of thought. Sorry I didn't get to come back and comment with this (busy day), and got downvoted.
people who are extreme along these lines can fall into the ruiners category (eg taking drugs in a childrens play area and pissing on the slide).

people who are not so extreme perhaps fall into the first category. I mean, I know people who live free because they want to. They don't cause any issues to the public around them except that they don't pay local taxes and are therefore a burden on the state in some minimal way (simplistically, they do use the roads and other services provided by the government). If housing were cheap enough they might take advantage of that.
The two last links are the same.
She's not locked up for leaking, she's locked up for flagrant contempt in an active grand jury investigation, one which otherwise poses her no legal jeopardy, since she has both immunity and, for much of the subject matter, double jeopardy protection since she's been tried, convicted, and served her sentence for her involvement.
The system is not perfect, but the reason Manning went to jail is because she made an indiscriminate leak of secrets of which she did not review before she released them.

Had she only released material on stuff she had thought to be a crime, then there would have been a much stronger case to be made as a whistle blower.

It would be like if someone working at a hospital exposed a medical fraud scheme but leaked all the patient records of thousands of people who had nothing to do with scheme. They'd probably get hit with criminal HIPAA violations.

The reason Manning is in jail right now is because she refused to testify to a grand jury about WikiLeaks and got hit with contempt of court. She had been given immunity to testify so the jail time is purely on her.

Is there a reason to not nest the checkbox inside the label? I have always put them next to the checkbox until very recently, when I was trying to increase clickable area. I've found it ends up working much better than putting it beside, covering the area around the checkbox, too! Is this "improper HTML"?
