Storing your 1Password Master Password on a yubikey seems like a really bad idea for most threat models. This means that anybody in physical possession of the Yubikey can immediately and permanently steal your master password. Additionally, for shared computers, anyone who can run code on that system can log static creds, the same as if the user typed it.
I just don't agree with adding more syntax to the language for what basically amounts to an if statement. If it's a conditional, which it is, just use an if statement.

Look at all the monad tutorials for Haskell. Nobody knows how to use the special syntax for Maybe and Either. They read hundreds of articles and still don't get it. Meanwhile, everyone understands how "if err != nil" works, perhaps too well, which is why they complain about it.
Why not just not have a phone line, instead of inexplicably paying for a service to not have a service?

I've read both those accounts. The Dutch intelligence bit is unrelated to the DNC; they claim the same outfit they were surveilling is involved. They did not observe the Russians hacking the DNC. Read the story carefully to see the timing.

As for Guccifer, the evidence indicates he operates out of CST (based on tweets and uploaded file timestamps), hardly where a Russian hacker would be situated.

These are both pretty weak as evidence, not what i'd call substantial.

While this is all about remote, and talks mostly about remote, I found the initial bullet list very interesting. In my opinion, only the very first bullet point (omitted here) is tied to remote working, and the rest are probably ideas you should take a good look at if you could stand to improve your own processes and workflow (whether or not you are or will become remote).

> Flexible working hours over set working hours.

> Writing down and recording knowledge over verbal explanations.

> Written down processes over on-the-job training.

> Public sharing of information over need-to-know access.

> Opening up every document for editing by anyone over top-down control of documents.

> Asynchronous communication over synchronous communication.

> The results of work over the hours put in.

> Formal communication channels over informal communication channels.
I am also not sure if they actually want to promote American craftsmanship or just want to sell cheap stuff while taking advantage of ”made in America”.

Or perhaps policies are written by smart people who have lots of experience and data that shows that it's a time of increased risk that's not worth it when your company has valuable trade-secrets, customer relationships, and other confidential data. Sometimes it's as simple as protecting team productivity and morale.

I guess if it's a small startup with 5 people it doesn't matter, but please don't assume that everyone at all these major companies is a "bozo".
The question is where do you draw the line for removing privacy to enable law enforcement? Would you consider a system that monitors every individual at all times because it would almost guarantee that any criminal is identified?

This still works. I wrote about a topic awhile back o help me understand it and when I search for the topic, my post still appears in the search results.

I didn’t write it to get to the top of any search result but for myself so I could understand it. Now when I see the post there, I’m glad that I’m not the only one who benefitted. As other people have pointed out:

Write. Put it out there. Do it for yourself first and not to be popular. If it helps you, it might help someone else. And who knows, someone else might even point out something you didn’t know before.
It doesn't. I just think I would have liked you as a teacher, and most I met didn't not have your point of view.

As someone who lives in Quebec, I assure you that the government does not legislate what languages people can speak. They're picky about signs and menus and whatever, but you can't tell people what language to speak. There was a motion in the legislature to urge people not use "Bonjour-Hi" as a greeting, but that's not binding, and cannot be.
Pharmaceutical companies typically claim that the reason for high drugs prices is because of the amount that they spend on research and development (R&D). According to the industry, it costs USD $2.6 billion to bring a drug to market [1]. Critics counter that companies are more focused on and spend more on promotion than on R&D. Gagnon and Lexchin produced figures that showed that in the United States in 2004 the industry spent USD $57.5 billion on promotion versus USD $31.5 billion on R&D [2]. A report from the California-based Institute for Health and Socio-Economic Policy stated that in 2015 out of the top 100 pharmaceutical companies by sales, 64 spent twice as much on marketing and sales than on R&D, 58 spent three times, 43 spent five times as much and 27 spent 10 times the amount [3].

Interesting notion! It puts me in mind of Levittown. All houses followed an original standard design (or three), but if you go there today, no two are alike. Originally derided as the paragon of uniformity, each house in Levittown has grown and changed to suit its owners.
> If you don't care about showing off then you won't publish anything. People who are actually altruistic won't tell you about their altruism.

My point is that I think your thesis is too cynical. Many people start out writing their blogs or answer questions on public forums with the intent of trying to help other people out. The motivation can be of the form "I solved this problem and I am going to write about it because maybe my solution will save someone else time" rather than "I solved this problem and I am going to write about it so that everyone visits my website and I get famous." Maybe they become more motivated by vanity and blog metrics later on if their blog takes off. But, many people write stuff online with the intent to help others out and not solely out of hunger for respect, admiration and recognition.

Naw, they never died out at all. We used to get bombarded with international calls prior to blocking international calls. Now, they just spoof them from an adjacent city - we've had them purportedly from Liverpool and Bristol. Bizarre, but still happening.
Most of that is documentation (PDF files) and fonts (often in multiple formats for the same font). I skip the documentation and read them online on texdoc.net, and it trimmed down my installation size to 2.9GB (2.1GB of which are fonts).

All human beings are complex and you can't just sort them into good people and bad people. Elon seems to be more idealist than most about the fate of humanity as a whole but also seems to be willing to work his employees to the bone, drive sharp bargains, etc to pursue that goal. He's said that he sees Starlink as a cash cow that'll fund future Mars colonies and I don't have any reason to believe that he isn't being sincere about that.
And that message is "Don't call me."

> Now for German, you can speak any of the awful dialects natively and it's fine. But never, never dare Hochdeutsch with with a _foreign_ accent as people will make a point of not understanding you! Because dropping a umlaut suddenly makes an entire sentence impossible to parse!

Well, for Germany it's not about the language, it's about the fact that making any mistake that gives away that German is not your native language suddenly makes you a stupid immigrant of lower education in the eyes of the most of the natives.
New report on Europe-India space cooperation
Well, anecdotally, liaisons. Prior to a trip to the French part of Switzerland last year, I practiced my French pronunciations instead of learning word banks. I was able to hear much more than during my four semesters of college level French a decade ago. But, those sentences where you leave the consonant sound off the end of a word? Got me every time. I imagined that the word was different, not the pronunciation. My friend I was visiting, on the other hand, took the train to another city to participate in a French language course with other foreigners learning French as a prerequisite to employment. Immersion: Given that, his family speaking French fluently, living in a country where French is spoken slowly, and seeing Italians and Germans make mistakes in French, he could suss out the words much faster. I didn't feel outclassed, just outpracticed.
You're very fortunate then, but we were discussing US employment.
I'm all about teaching about societal approval as long as it's labelled as such and put in perspective. I think that actually it would have helped me a lot to have it labelled that way: I would have respected the teacher more, and learned about the way humans work sooner.
So a person is fine until the moment they give notice and immediately become a risk after handing it in? When I saw someone walked out it felt like a show of power by a police state that signaled “we can take anybody anytime and the only thing you can do is watch helplessly”. The procedure seems designed for humiliation and intimidation.

My remote gig has several people who are pretty much digital nomads -- they move around often, travel even more often, and work from various states. We all get paid on the same scale (north-east coast based) so there's no issue; but, how would Gitlab handle this? Change their salary every time they log work from a new location?

Here's the documented process for the relocating while working at GitLab: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/global-c...
"And while yes of course, Germany’s energy policy is “ruinously” expensive, as anyone who has waded through the decrepit ruins of the once-proud city of Stuttgart can attest, that makes total definite sense and is true, the entire argument falls flat on its face in a bizarre pratfall just as soon as an ounce of thought is put into it. Electrical grids powered by wind and solar do not just completely collapse as soon as the wind stops blowing or the sun stops shining. Not only are there stacks of traditional batteries to store excess energy for those low times, humanity has devised ingenious ways to store massive amounts of power in ways you might not think, just to get around this notion"

The author of this article doesn't know what they're talking about. The amount of energy we can store just isn't enough to supply the grid when wind and solar stop, and probably won't be for quite a long time if ever. (The "ingenious ways" they're referring to is pumped hydroelectric, which suffers from a severe lack of suitable sites, most of which are already in use. It's also probably one of the first things people think of as a solution.)

Anki may very well be one of the best applications ever made.

I have been using it for about a year and a half for Korean, and now I'm memorizing kanji characters with it. My goal is to memorize 2,136 kanji within 4-5 months and I fully believe it's possible with Anki if I don't miss a day of reviews.

However, anki is the most useless app ever if you miss reviews. 1-2 days is fine, but you're hurting yourself otherwise.

My suggestion is to change the default deck setting to order review cards first. The default is to mix new cards + review cards, but sometimes I don't have the energy to learn new the cards, leading me to skip doing the reviews.

Also the decks are very customizable, since you can add custom properties, change what shows on each front/back, and style them with css.

I plan on doing a full writeup of anki at some point.
I call these strategies "bonuses today, bankruptcy tomorrow".

Email security enforcement is not turned on automatically, but is relatively easy to set up for GSuite or Office365. Typically the easiest implementation is to create a DNS validation record. With that caveat, SPF and DKIM are easier to setup, because it's just creating a validation record. DMARC typically means that you're now getting 10-20 emails a day from major email providers all containing XML files that need to be analyzed. There aren't a ton of good solutions to analyze the contents of the XML files
If one person leaving jeopardizes the entire company, then that sounds like a serious issue with management and the business as a whole. What if they fall ill, or die suddenly? Everyone is replaceable.
I used to use MacPorts, and switched to Homebrew. For exactly one reason: Homebrew uses, whenever possible, the tools already built in to macOS, where as MacPorts builds new versions of those tools in order to maintain a pristine build environment.

MacPorts' philosophy seems better in theory, but in practice it has two flaws that turned out to be very significant for me. The first is that you end up needing a huge number of ports, partly because you're duplicating the tools already on the system, but partly because in many cases you need all of those ports' dependencies as well. So upgrading anything was a huge processing sink. I wanted fifteen or twenty ports on my system, but to get those MacPorts had to install several hundred dependencies. If you ever decide you don't want one of those ports, the dependencies are still installed, and pruning the ports tree was decidedly nontrivial.

The second was dependency hell. You end up with at least two versions of everything. Which one random third party apps pick up depends on search paths. Different third party apps need different versions, and I ended up twiddling with search paths a lot. Tryin to install ROS as a standalone third-party package was a nightmare.

Homebrew has its issues, but it doesn't have these issues.

Ultimately the real problem here is that macOS package managers are bolt-on additions and not a core part of the OS. when that's the case there is not going to be any perfect solution. But for a single-user machine where the main goal is to be able to maintain a minimal set of installs, and install new ones quickly so you can get real work done, Homebrew just worked better for me.

There's two types of people who ask the questions

1) Those that want a response that they can consider. These are critical thinkers.

2) Those that don't care what the response is. These are smart asses.

In schools the latter are far more common, and far more likely to speak out
There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that wherever the intruders came from, at least some died trying. (There were a lot of depth charges fired and moored mines detonated, sometimes on chance, sometimes as an "exercise", not only in the widely published sub hunts of the era.)
To be fair, I have been guilty of being a smart ass, and I can totally imagine other people being one when confronted to bullshit.

It's not a productive reaction, and you grow out of it, but it's not a surprising one.

Watch app's I frequently use:

- AutoSleep: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1164801111 or Sleep++ - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleep/id1038440371

- HeartWatch: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/heartwatch.-heart-activity/i...
I much prefer this complication to Apple's. It displays the most recently recorded heart rate measurement

- Dark Sky: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dark-sky-hyperlocal-weather/...
I also prefer this weather complication and watch app

- Overcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/overcast/id888422857
Great watch app for controlling podcast playback, and includes the option to go phone-free (with AirPods).

- WorkOutDoors: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/workoutdoors/id1241909999
If you go hiking outdoors, even infrequently, this app is great. It allows you to store trail maps on your watch, and optionally record workout of your hiking (with GPS data, etc).

- Baby Monitor - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/best-baby-monitor/id43279139...
Drop an iPhone or iPad near your sleeping baby, check in on them from your watch (with notifications and optionally video). Not sure if you have kids, but this app is a bit of a marvel, especially when out and about or traveling.

- Fantastical - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fantastical-2-for-iphone/id7...
I prefer this app to the built in Calendar.app, both for iPhone and Apple Watch. The complication is great, especially in the larger sizes.

Of Apple's built-in apps, I frequently use: Messages, Now Playing, Walkie Talkie, Workouts, Maps, Activity, Wallet, Phone, and Music.

If schools do not take into account those people for whom X is not reasonable, it's entirely possible for the marginal net benefit to be negative.

I personally don't see the point in them at all, in implementation and reality you get basically zero use out of the things.

Services that support them either have them locked down so hard that if you lose a single Yubikey (there's often no backup second key option), you're very screwed. Others go the other option, and have too easy to reset systems, SMS fallbacks, or other total bypasses of the security tokens.

For SSH and GPG, authentication keys are generally the least of your concern. The content you're controlling are much more valuable than the authentication itself. Can an attacker just wait until you SSH somewhere, and leverage that access? Can they wait until you'd press the button for another benign purpose and use that authentication in a malicious way? The answer is almost always yes, which reduces the value of these sort of devices substantially. They don't protect against local compromise, in which case a keyfile sitting on your local host is just as secure and a lot more convenient.
I feel like this standard is somewhat uniquely held for US historic monuments and artwork. I think it would be laughable to go over to Europe and start suggesting people tear down thousand year old works of art because the people who created them or are depicted in them weren't very nice. I suspect Michelangelo didn't have very progressive views on race or gender, but his works are safe. Is it because the US history isn't as old? This isn't a rhetorical question, and I'm not going to attempt to debate any points. I'm genuinely curious about the position.

language is symbolic so there doesn't have to be a literal connection between the reference and referent. for example you still "boot" a computer, which comes from the concept of "bootstrapping", ie, pulling oneself up by the straps of their boots. no boots are involved.
