I've been a software engineer for over 15 years. I also got a doctorate and contributed to papers and books about Internet security back in the late '90s. I also manage quite a bit of money. I don't develop financial algorithms, though. I guess I could have at one point had I wanted to. Things like high-frequency trading make me ill, quite frankly. Such trading schemes shouldn't even be legal as there is zero value in sub-microsecond price discovery. It was purely designed to front run legitimate orders and shave pennies off of legitimate transactions. Ghoulish.

I have been watching this crypto currency situation unfold since it began. One of my early observations was that a lot of unsavory Wall Street types flocked into it for one very good reason--they understand that it was not well regulated and there was zero oversight. That allows those Wall Street types to pull off their favorite scam--the pump and dump. It is exceedingly easy to do with cryptos.

What I have also noticed about cryptos is that if you were going to scam Millenials, there is probably no better vehicle to do it with than this pseudo-technical, phony currency that perfectly plays to all their weaknesses, especially their yen to "get out of debt quick" or "get rich quick." For months the headlines were all "Blockchain! Blockchain! Blockchain!" Another sign of a scam is using technical jargon to program people--blockchain==I get rich. Just repeat it over and over and nobody even questions where that idea came from. Something from nothing--the age old scam! Just buy at "the right time" and watch the money flow in. But can millions of people really all become rich simply by buying unproven currency type vehicles? Based on my experience, no!

But this is 2019 and you're welcome to believe whatever you want. As for me, I'm avoiding this crap like the plague and I am pretty disappointed that legitimate firms like Fidelity are getting involved with something so unproven and so subject to manipulation. It's like they just can't help themselves.

This all reminds me of the dotcom era when all you had to do was buy stock in pets.com or anything.com and watch it go through the roof...for a time.

The essence of a great scam--at first, you have the dream and they have the money and in the end, it is you with the money and their dream is dead on the floor with seemingly no one to blame but their own greed. It will be same with crypto, it might just take a little longer due to the sheer magnitude of the scam.

Id adults don't understand the tech, they can't consent either. It's a scenario where we should be protecting everybody.

Pushing for children protection first would not be wrong, but would be counter productive.
There’s a lot of stuff that I saw that I wish I hadn’t. For young kids I think blocking is the only way to potentially help as by the time you sit down with them about gore vids, they’ve already seen them.

It’s pretty much impossible to fully block whatever you consider negative. But you might be able to reduce it or make it less accessible.
Also, you can make a list of every job you've had in the past, and see if you can recall the inefficiencies you or others encountered.
"We want to target all people who have a heart condition" ...

so FB/G send that advertising and you harvest the click-data and now have a catalogue of people that FB/G believe have heart problems. You then sell that data, or a company owning that data, or whatever, to insurance companies to use in their premium pricing.

If the information is going to be used to select users to show a particular advert to then that information is effectively able to be liberated to benefit the advertiser (the one buying the adverts on FB or G) or their customers (the ones buying the amalgamated data).

Then there's all the FB linked surveys, like "When will you die? Answer 10 questions to find out!" and that information just happens to be prime info for insurance people to use that they're not allowed to ask you for directly.

Maybe the survey company has to make a new "life metric" and sell that data to avoid the insurance company doing something they're not allowed, but surely this is how it's done?

Be real and honest with them. Tell them there are predators out there, tell them people will try to get them to do awful things on the internet, on camera, in video games. Tell them there are an infinite number of bullies and hateful people on the internet. Better yet: Give them the novel Ready Player One, trust them a little bit, and tell them to be extremely cautious.

Nobody in their right mind would even suggest automatically fining countries or cities based on the colour of pixels on a satellite CO₂ map. If a place shows unexpectedly high CO₂ levels, I expect an investigation will happen in order to determine who's emitting it. Weather satellites and ground stations should resolve doubts about wind direction.

WRT. ground stations, satellite monitoring has the nice benefit that you don't have to coordinate with the monitoring territories, or even ask them for permission. The data may be less precise, but it'll be much easier to gather, and much more consistent.
I've noticed the same thing with tomatoes and apricots. I've got a good friend whose family have an apricot farm in the Kurdish part of Turkey, and their apricots are amazing, but the same variety grown in Western Washington tastes like plastic. There's something seriously pathological with the "terrior" in the western part of north America. (Luckily it doesn't extend to wine.)
You can add whatever custom validation you want on top of proto3 (using annotations if you like). Required fields aren't very useful at a serialization level: adding a new required field would always be a backwards incompatible change. You should never do it. They're only useful if you have total certainty that you can define all your APIs perfectly on the first try. But again, if you really want them you can always build something like https://github.com/envoyproxy/protoc-gen-validate on top. That's the benefit of a simple and extensible system vs one that tries to bake-in unnecessary or problematic default behaviors.

Also: why wouldn't grpc work well with load balancers? It's based on HTTP/2. It's well supported by envoy, which is fast-becoming the de facto standard proxy for service meshes.

Better in which way? With Web assembly I've heard the performance can be on-par with C. In terms of ease of install: the user requires no setup step or "download". In terms of network performance: Provided caching is setup correctly and code downloads once, I don't see the harm.

Does this project tick all of those boxes to make this production ready? I'm not sure, it certainly looks polished (I haven't reviewed the code).
Why - it's not like they're going to sneak vulnerabilities into the kernel?
> a bizarre amount of hostility out in the world toward people who assert it is possible to have consistently great performance without index investing.

I think the hostility comes from the fact that such individuals almost always make the assertion sans evidence, and often stand to make money from suckers -- in the gambling sense, i.e. people who don't know the odds -- who believe them and trust them with money. I'm sure if someone demonstrated their ability to outperform the market prospectively, and also were willing to accept outside investment, they would have people knocking down their door to get in. However, there is no entity with a long track record of outperforming the market that is both open to outside investors and claims that they will continue to outperform with a high degree of certainty.

Aside: the people want to know 1. how long you have been investing 2. the rough amount of assets you have invested 3. what your annualized rate of return is over the period mentioned in question 1. Not that this would prove anything, because anyone can claim to have had 25% ARoR over the last forty years, but it would at least be interesting to know what the claimed performance is.

The main reason has little to do with any of that, but just historical inertia.

There's a lot of species that could have potentially replaced the chicken if we unwind human history and started anew, but it's not a competition between wild species of birds today, but chickens with at least 5000 years of human-guided domestication v.s. most other species.

The same can be said about pretty much anything people eat and farm. Most modern fruit and vegetables were pretty much inedible in their primordial pre-domesticated forms, it's only through thousands of years of effort that we have what we've got today.

In terms innate qualities making chickens suitable for domestication over other birds, some of those are probably:

1. They're pretty much flightless[1], even in the wild. This excludes most bird species right off the bat. Hard to domesticate something that'll just fly away.

2. They're comfortable in groups, and have a group hierarchy. This tends to be common among species humans have domesticated. Good luck domesticating e.g. birds of pray productively, they'll constantly be fighting each other for territory.

3. They're not picky about food, and don't require humans to actively feed them in the context of pre-industrial village life. Some birds only eat say insects, chickens can eat pretty much anything, even other chicken.

Yes it boils down to this. We are reaping the “ends” so we must be somewhat responsible for the “means” that got us there. That doesn’t mean each person is completely responsible, but we can’t pass the buck either.

You're right, I skipped over the "decline to make any comment" part.

I love the line "and a good pair of work boots." Marketing at its finest. Are we really supposed to believe that the type of fellow who cherishes a "good pair of work boots" is going to get confused and wear coffee-shop apparel to a worksite? Are we really supposed to believe that this situation will threaten anyone's ability to "earn their livelihood with one or two [Caterpillar] machines?"

I've been looking at installing Pihole and OpenDNS.. to block a bunch of stuff automatically.

Other than that, my kids now being 12 and 15: their computers are desktop machines in the kitchen. My wife and I look over their shoulders throughout their online time, and help keep them on track.. as well as having very open discussions about which things to look out for.

Use any excuse to teach a lesson, but keep it short. One example, my youngest was asking about online advertising and "what's the big deal?". I explained how easy and quickly their movement online is tracked, then decided to show it: we loaded up google and did a fairly unique search, in this case alligator skin cowboy boots for kids, and clicked a few links.. then asked her to go to a big newspaper site.. lo and behold a banner ad for the same item we searched for less than minute ago. Got the point across rather firmly.

Spend time with them, talk to them about their interests online, get them to show you sites they go to, Youtube stuff they like, etc. I try to point out new stuff that is "better" than what they are familiar with and sidetrack them with learning sites like Khan Academy.

Teach them how to do research, so they can fact check and know what is a scam. Show them snopes, so they can know how to spot bogus stories..

Oh, and lastly, I have told my kids not to panic if they come across a bad site, just close the window and they should be fine. But do let me know so we can check the machine together afterwards. Yes, that includes porn sites.. I know some of these clicks won't be accidental, but I don't care.

I've done enough tech support that i'd rather they be safe than start hiding stuff from me.

Oh yeah, I really need to sign up for the Family version of 1Password.

At 13m in, he uses the fact that around 10% have turned on DNT in theri browser as a proof that people actually care about tracking, but haven't multiple browsers started turning on DNT by default?
My thoughts as a father of six (ages 10-17):

1. Teach your kids that the most important thing is to treat other people with respect. The most likely harm to kids comes from bullying. No one wants to think of their kids as a bully, but by focusing on not bullying others is the best way to teach them what to participate in and what not to participate in. They will be able to say they are being bullied.

2. Teach them not to talk to strangers, but understand that Fortnite and other games do and will involve talking to strangers. Most of the other players are kids, but they need to know that just because someone says they are a kid, they can't trust they really are a kid.

3. In order to develop socially, you kids need to be online.
”One was supposedly going to be charged after the 6th+ time of soliciting nudes from a fellow student and then sharing them. The quiet nerdy kid built a categorized Dropbox collection from the entire school and was quietly sharing it.”

Ouch. That’s nasty. I wonder though, is it really a technological problem? I wonder how those guys were raised and what role models they had if they so blatantly ignores other persons’ privacy. Of course it’s technology that enables the rapid spread of photos etc. But their parents and other adults around them are still responsible for trying to teach them how to behave decently.
Back when I was a younger my local Borders book store had a 3 shelf nook of extremely technical books around software and engineering. Was incredible. I spent whole weekends there

There's plenty of monitoring networks around the world of varying quality and coverage; they're usually focused on air quality though. That said, I can't see how making adequate ground station coverage could ever be cheaper than a satellite constellation. Ground stations are essentially points on the ground; you'd need a really dense network. The best way to do that would probably be to build CO₂ sensors into cars or smartphones - and still, you'll quite likely exclude a lot of the more interesting (read: polluting) places. That's before considering continuous maintenance and ensuring availability of the data.

Satellite measurements may be less precise, but they are consistent and cover the ground more-less uniformly, regardless of what infrastructure is on the ground. It also sidesteps coordinating with individuals and countries. Finally, a satellite sees all; ground stations only see what's at the ground level.
OK mate. I've got and done photographs supporting what I just said. But I'll concede, whatever.
Agree, I was there a month or so back and it made me instantly nostalgic. What these photos don't capture though is the sound - particularly when standing in the crowd in the rain at Shibuya crossing. Every photo makes it seem like the city is eerily silent which is far from the truth.

It's not that simple. Take the University of Iowa as an example. The full time MBA program has seen declining enrollment and has been steadily losing money.

Conversely the PMBA program has seen increased enrollment and profits and it can be difficult to get into classes wanted/needed to complete the degree.

If you are planning to stay in Iowa the network effects of the Iowa PMBA program are pretty strong. Many of your classmates will be in leadership roles within local area businesses that you may be considering moving to at some point. Often times the students are looking to take another step up, but are lacking skills that can be provided by the degree. In many of these situations the businesses agree with this as the businesses are frequently footing the bill for tuition either in part or in full.

Students within the full-time traditional MBA programs are typically younger with less or even no professional experience. PMBA students are generally experienced professionals that have already proven a certain level of success to an organization that are then learning skills that will help them bridge a gap.
That's what Said's book is for and it couldn't be much clearer:

"Not for nothing did Islam come to symbolize terror, devastation, the demonic. hordes of hated barbarians. For Europe. Islam was a lasting trauma. Until the end of the seventeenth century the "Ottoman peril" lurked alongside Europe to represent for the whole of Christian civilization a constant danger"

The article reflects on the impact the book had since publication, it's not even close to be mistaken for an introduction or recollection of the whole topic.

This is a brilliant idea and I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. I thought (but never checked) that weather satellites would have this in their observation spectrum; apparently, they don't. I strongly hope the project will happen, and will happen on schedule.
I haven't really resolved my own thinking about all of this, but I think that take is overly simplistic.

How about beginning to target dating sites to your partner because they've figured out you are having affair before the partner has? Or divorce attorneys?

Or notifying your work recent changes in pattern make you look like a high flight risk? Or your insurance company that you may have an unreported condition? Same basic data sources can feed into that analysis.

Those are just obvious ones, and I'm not claiming they are specifically currently being done ... but the basic technology isn't a barrier.

This is why it is a bit disingenuous to echo the common refrain "what's so bad about better targeted ads" as if that adequately describes what is at stake.

> The efforts of the CAB Forum to instil some level of additional trust in the system appear to be about as effective as sticking one’s fingers into a leaking dam. The number of trusted CAs has extended conventional credibility well beyond the normal boundaries and has pushed the unsuspecting user into a fragile state of credulity.

> Efforts to improve this mess, such as Extended Validation (EV) certificates, have gained no traction with users, as they are largely immune to subtle changes in the content and colours of the browser’s navigation bars, and certificate transparency logs appear to be completely ineffective in catching CA-related name hijack events in real time.

That’s a pretty extreme opinion. I am surprised it appeared on official apnic.net site. I do wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that most major browsers, who actually decide who get to be CA, are US based.
Well that depends on your goal wouldn't it?

I'm not sure what the goal of the chicken is except maybe to make more chickens, and if that's the goal then yes chickens were successful.

If your goal as a human is to explore and pass on your knowledge to your children, then yes, that could be considered as successful as well.

Also, it depends in large part on if your goals are personal, or generational. If personal then you could argue both ways. But if generational then yes definitely a success.
