The point of my comment, at the root of this thread, is that calling these things "military weapons" is misleading; there's no real difference between this Win8 SMB bug and any of a whole variety of bugs that were discovered and exploited by private actors just in these last 12 months alone.

If you accept the premise of the article, that these were "broken arrow" military weapons, sure, I see how you can get yourself into a tizzy over it. But you should not accept the article's premise, because that premise seems self-evidently broken.
If by "work" you mean "spin on the ceiling without perceptibly affecting the temperature", then sure.
Can you write an editor that moves on from 1990's WYSIWYG to use the HTML5 content sectioning elements, so that different 'sections' and 'asides' can be moved around? In so doing - and nesting them - the headings could be given an automatic h2 - h6 level, with the headings inside sections/articles.

It would also be nice to see details/summary entries and nothing in the toolbar that creates inline CSS things.

Out the box such an editor should create accessible HTML that can be easily styled, with structure to it that would result in a document outline.

I think such an editor could be what a lot of the web needs, to make people wonder why we ever had WYSIWYG backend editors that render nothing like the frontend, e.g. the things you get in Wordpress and other content editors.

WYSIWYG made sense in the 1990's when what you wanted was a printed 'dead tree' page, but we have responsive design now and lots of different screen sizes, so it is getting the structure right that matters more, not just for accessibility but SEO.
> The latter is a bit easier to verify by talking to other engineers, but in general I find it extremely difficult to foresee what you are running into with a new job.

Ask the hiring manager what will your typical tasks be, and then try to detect if/how much is he lying I guess? Look out for usual red flags, like being ambigious or avoiding difficult subjects (such as - how bad the codebase is, how much maintenance vs greenfield work will you be doing, will you be able to influence the direction of the work, or are you just someone they need to implement their ideas).

> A properly designed and insulated building should not need very much of either.

Haven't the standards for what that means shifted considerable the past 40 years? These days it seems like there's a lot more expected indoor/outdoor air exchange than was done in the 1980's.

> Maybe it's better than heating in a comparably insulated building.

Cooling has one big advantage in that solar can provide a lot of the power needed during peak usage time. My instincts would tell me that if you make the right choices, the carbon impact of keeping a house cool in a hot climate may be less than of keeping a house warm in a cold climate.

Wouldn’t the Leaf’s battery outlast the car in NY or MI? Cold weather can be great for cars, it’s just the salt that promotes conduction (and therefore oxidation on the anode of dissimilar metals) that really hurts things.

I suggest a great North-south car swap, where one side mitigates the climate damage caused by the other.

That's not even remotely what the parent said. Random homeless people != Homeless person assaulting you.
I think from the client point of view the advantage of having "full-stack" developers is that it saves you some trouble of team management. With more specialized team you need some fronted developers, some backend developers and an architect to ensure that the pieces fit. And you have some inneficiencies, when front-end peoples are swamped with work, and backend guys are sitting idle, or vice versa. In a team composed solely of full-stack devs people are more interchangeable.
A student of mine led me to an interesting note taking application:

Cherry Tree
https://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree/

It was quite impressive on the variety of notes and document types it was able to organize.

Also seemed to have good support for outputting in various formats.

CherryTree is positioned as an open source alternative to OneNote.
Games like Rocket League are my favorite payment model. ~$20 to get in, with semi optional small transactions over time. $5 here and there. I've spent over $100 in my hundreds of hours in game. I guess that's close to your "O(log(n))".
Precisely this. The cost and complexity of complying with GDPR is directly proportional to the scale and complexity of your data processing operations. If you comply with the principles of the legislation - collect the minimum possible amount of data, store it for the minimum possible time and process it only in ways that are essential - then compliance is very straightforward. Things only become ambiguous when you're trying to do something that the GDPR doesn't want you to do.

While true, for solo LLCs in particular such "protection" can be incomplete. I'd advise folks to consult with a lawyer before embarking on anything risky.
Many industrial companies measure the operational environment at massive scales now using multimodal sensor networks and platforms thanks to plummeting sensor costs -- LIDAR, hyper-spectral imaging, video, RF/radar, audio, remote sensing, chemical and particulate sensors, et al. The exact mix and scope of coverage varies with industry and company. Sectors are diverse and include automative, utilities, agriculture, oil and gas, logistics, etc. The sensor data is primarily used to manage risk, increase efficiency, improve safety, adapt to changing conditions, respond to incidents, do preventative maintenance, and similar.

Any sensor platform that can detect the existence of an entity in space and time and is measuring space where people exist, which is most of them, is collecting personal data. A sophisticated party can reconstruct the identity of detected entities in the sensor data in a straightforward way. Typically, the sensor coverage inherently collects data on a large number of people from which it is impossible to obtain consent, whoever happens to be within or wanders into the sensor range. The detectable people in these sensor data models are analytical by-catch. I've demonstrated this to many organizations using diverse exhaust from industrial sensor systems never designed for that purpose.

Some of these data models are incredibly large and fast moving, petabytes per day. Many of them collect data in federated environments that are severely bandwidth-limited and energy restricted; while the data model is very rich, there aren't enough local resources to do anything outside the designed scope. You can neither push compliance operations to the data, since there isn't enough compute, nor can you backhaul it to someplace that does. The aggregate data models can exceed an exabyte, so you aren't indexing where people are (that would be incredibly expensive) and any attempt to brute-force search to identify people for compliance purposes would effectively be a denial-of-service attack on the system.

tl;dr: the scale and scope of external environmental sensing platforms increasingly used by industrial companies inherently allows you to detect the locations of many people in space and time that are unrelated to the business operation. The necessary scale and operational architecture of these systems make GDPR compliance technically implausible.

At some point, I bet someone in a design meeting said "Hey, I think this might compromise security, can we study that before implementing it?"

And the decision to implement it without that study, or despite it, was made. Because implementing it increased performance which made the numbers which captured market share.

It's not like the processor designed itself that way. Humans made choices along the way, and every choice is a tradeoff. Execution-time attacks and other sidechannel leakage have been well-known for years, and I can't imagine that at a place like Intel, nobody had heard of that.

Something that's bothered me in Shanghai is that indoor spaces, like malls, are kept at a comfortable temperature regardless of what it's like outdoors. So to go _to_ the mall in winter, you need to dress for the 3°C outdoors you have to cross, and then you get into the mall and overheat badly.

I don't see an easy solution to this -- I don't think "we need the indoors to be just as frigid as the outdoors" is going to catch on -- but it certainly is annoying.
And you might actually become smarter. Ones ability to do some things - including mental tasks - is affected by their beliefs about their ability. That's not to say you can do anything you believe you can, just that belief can influence (not determine) ability.
My theory on this: the e-book industry shot itself in the foot with DRM.

Lots of people pointed to the way the world's music buying habits shifted from buying CDs to buying MP3s (before it shifted again, to streaming) as an argument for why e-books would inevitably displace printed ones. But there was a fundamental difference between those two examples, namely that the music industry abandoned tying digital purchases to a single device via DRM relatively quickly, while the e-book industry held doggedly to the idea that e-books bought from Amazon should only work on Kindles, e-books from B&N should only work on Nooks, etc. Which made e-books notably less appealing from the buyer's standpoint; with digital music you could have a reasonable assurance that your purchase today would play on the device you own tomorrow. With e-books, you could not, and you still can't.

(Yes yes, I know about Calibre and so forth. I'm talking here about how these things looked from the perspective of the average person.)

It's a great example of how all the players in a competitive market can hurt their long-term interests by relentlessly pursuing their short-term ones. It was in everyone's short-term interest to try and grab more market share at the expense of their competitors by locking customers into a closed ecosystem. But by doing so they passed up the opportunity to grow the entire market. And a small slice of a huge pie beats a big slice of a small one any day.
the point I like Alloy is that it allows you to express something like "forall function f such that f is well-define ...", very cool.

I saw a TV show many years ago where the therapist simply set up a video camera in the dining room of a family to record, every day, the family dinner. After 2 or 3 weeks, the family forgot about the camera and reverted to their normal behaviors.

After a few months of this, the therapist took the videos and then showed each member of the family how they behaved. They were horrified, and it turned out to be excellent family therapy.

It's like the best way to teach someone to be a better public speaker is to record them speaking, and play it back to them.

I grew up on the east coast. My inclination has always been: don't leave valuables in cars, especially not visibly so. Keep your stuff in sight and typically on your person. Here in SF, I often see people leave laptops on tables as they go to coffee shop bathrooms and I think, "wow, that person is crazy". (Even though I have never seen their laptops be stolen.) And it wasn't SF that did that to me.

Where are people from that they don't feel they have to be vigilant of opportunistic property crime? I disagree that it doesn't happen everywhere, just that the amount or frequency varies with the place.
> A properly designed and insulated building should not need very much of either.

Where are these magical "properly designed and insulated buildings?" Also, how does insulation help keep out infrared radiation, which is a key heating source if your place has sufficient windows.
More and more agencies are looking for people who can do both frontend and backend, also participating in the business requirement development, writing unit and integration tests, being everywhere and doing everything

I like working with the users directly to make sure I’m writing what they need. If I don’t, I encounter too many instances of the “XY Problem”.

Who should be doing the integration and unit tests if not the developer? Why wouldn’t the developer be doing his own QA before he passes it off as “done”?

I work for mostly small companies so I can do the full stack - except for designing the interface. I can code the front end, backend in three or four modern languages well, know how to design and manage databases - RDMS (OLAP/OLTP) and I know my way around infrastructure at least with AWS. I can do passable Devops CI/CD pipelines. But, this is from a long career at working at mostly small companies.
And there are a lot of regulators. Some of them a lot more combative than others. That is my main reason for dislike for the regulations.

Overall I support the regulations, but I really wish the penalties had more documented structure than “We will fine you anywhere from 0 to an 8 digit number (in our case) depending on what we think is right”.

The number of cars is growing (https://www.statista.com/statistics/183505/number-of-vehicle...)

If it grows faster than sales, fewer cars must be taken of the road.

Could be as simple as households holding on to cars longer because they cannot afford to replace them, because modern cars last longer, or because they can afford to have a second/third car in the garage, but not a new one.
To add to the point regarding 401k. As a business owner you can set aside something like 56K a year in 401k pre-tax (not to exceed 25% of gross income IIRC). Go to Fidelity and Vanguard and search for "Solo 401k" to get started.

XML or JSON are also plain text. And Org has excellent support for storing contacts.

Furthermore, a personal knowledge repository may contain information that is pretty much timeless. Say you read Rudin to learn analysis in 1988 and took some notes. Why would that be outdated?

Some academics build huge perosnal knowledge repositories that they keep growing during their careers. These will often span longer periods than 1988-2019. See e.g. Luhmann's Zettelkasten.

The advantage of Org is that it is very readable, as it descends from an outliner, and has excellent tooling. There are options for including tables, equations, bibliographies, links to many datatypes, attachments, extensive date support, etc. Lots of export tools, interpreters to show views of your document, and many other things I have not touched upon.

Yet it is quite simple hierarchical plain text. So it will remain accessible in the future. Aside, Emacs has been around for very long, and will probably remain around much longer due to the Lindy Effect.

> A properly designed and insulated building should not need very much of either.

If you are talking about the hermetically sealed buildings in Germany that have great energy efficiency...they also have a pretty stuffy, like no air is circulating.
I just want to mention how Tim Cook rightfully pushed back on government pressure to develop a tool to break into an accused terrorist’s iphone, citing the dangerous precident it would set, as well as the enevitable theft of said tool. if the NSA can’t fully secure its arsenal, who are they (government) to demand a private company to develop (and expect to secure) a tool that _everyone_ would want to get their hands on. alas, while the effort was noble, state sponsored actors have made this a moot point.
Sure, but do Americans really need to cool down entire buildings by 10c+ ?

I lived in SF and LA, both my flats didn't have AC, I was perfectly fine. It's true that I actually had to bring extra cloth to my uni/office because it was insanely cold. I'm in Berlin now and I don't use a/c nor heating at all because buildings are properly insulated. I open the window during summer nights and throw in an extra blanket during winter.
I would agree. I used to really enjoy that community. But it's gone downhill. I think the moderation rules were brilliant. And effective. The problem is, there needs to be a core set of user setting good norms, and they've all left. What's there now is kind of a mess.

Unbelievable. Three years of industry experience alone would qualify you beyond a junior position. https://www.altexsoft.com/media/2018/09/unnamed-14.png
This is strange but where I grew up in the hot humid south there was almost a subconscious association between cold AC and modernness, cleanliness, efficiency etc (traits a business would want to project) and inversely between weak AC and cheapness, backwardness, poverty etc. It actually makes sense in a hospital or supermarket but it was quite a relief to break this association and now 75 feels relaxed.
GDPR is just the 1995 Data Protection Directive with teeth. If you were compliant with the DPD, you were almost certainly compliant with the DPD by default. The principles are the same and many parts of the legislation were carried over verbatim. GDPR came as a shock only because many businesses had been flagrantly disregarding the (weakly enforced) DPD for many years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Protection_Directive

>Even if you are perfectly compliant, you need a complaint-response mechanism and lawyers in the EU ready to react to invalid accusations.

Did American businesses really think that they were immune from prosecution under EU law prior to GDPR? No European business was under any illusions about the extraterritorial reach of American courts.
It is an extraordinarily difficult problem.

I have taken to reading a large number of individual sources, identifying the more trustworthy ones over time, and trusting primarily those sources. When one of them shifts to publishing propaganda (it is often a sudden unexplainable shift) then I write them off and remove them from my feed. Often I'll discover new sources through the networks of trusted sources.

This is very inefficient and I wish there were a better way to do it. It's not a perfect system, but it works well enough for me.

You used to be able to trust media institutions, as long as you knew their biases, but even basic facts are in question now and a great deal of so-called news is completely factless. (Headline: "Why politician X might be doing something illegal, maybe" with of course no facts to back up the supposition)

Media is flailing around searching for a sustainable business model, but it isn't working yet. Until they find something, I think we're stuck with bought-and-paid-for propaganda.

Go further south where there is no indoor heating at all. I was in a train station in Hunan in winter, and the girls in the train station selling candy and food and such, I felt so bad for them, they had to wear gloves otherwise their hands would freeze up.

My coldest winter was 5-10C in southern China. The lack of indoor heating beats you down really quickly.

The problem though is inherent in clean energy forms given that most of them are not really going to provide us with anything even close go the energy density and dual use as especially oil(ex plastic) but also to some extent coal an nuclear.

I have been trying to find things to invest in in this area and its not really positive what Ive realized. We made most of the big discoveries and breakthroughs with fossil fuels and nuclear and there just isnt that many other opportunities out there to do anything with the density of ex coal which makes it hard to compete with since both ex sun and wind would need backup of either coal or nuclear which at the moments isnt factored into the price of sun and wind.

Fuell cells is also far far away for now which leaves fusion but that require ex magnetic force that can contain plasma.

In other words at the end of the day if we want to continue to live modern lives with all its benefits, if we want other countries to improve their lives too, its time to be honest and realize that fossil fuels and nuclear is going to be our primary source of energy for a long long time.

I would love to be proven wrong and would invest right away but i fear we will have to accept whatever the climate will throw at us and adopt as we have for thousands of years.
