Thats the rub: I don't think the rest of the org would go for that. If it was in a clear hierarchical vote, they wouldn't be the primary decision naysayers.

But because of the shadow hierarchy, they can continue with their actions. And those actions are primarily shooting ideas down or making some decisions for the whole org implicitly.
The economics of open source by C J Silverio (Is NPM evil?) – JSConf EU 2019
Still not quite it. US iphones are not all iphones in the world. Foxconn is not claiming that world iphone capacity could be moved out of China. Nor is it claiming that iphone R and D can be moved out of China.
You have a point. There are a couple million people in Ireland and one working Tektronix 4014 terminal. I would expect to be a hundred of them in the US, which doesn't seem that far off ;-)

We should have more DEC terminals though. We had a factory in Galway.

I see what you did there.
Germany implemented laws that forbid holocaust denial for example. The US has no such laws pertaining to its groups.
Grammar yes, but sampling reaction with appropriate rates makes the choice of the next reaction a little harder than arbitrary selection.

The time to each possible event must be drawn from the exponential distribution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution), and the event with the smallest waiting time fires next.

In my professional experience, many fiefdoms get created in the shadow hierarchy of flat orgs.

Align/get yourself in one that works and is healthy for your development and you can thrive. If not, then leave as quickly as you can. Just MHO.
I agree with you, but I think the original point was that we may already have technologies that could be employed, but that there is concern they are not being used
Amtrak's next-gen Acela train: “Wi-Fi, craft beers and reliable schedules”
It's a pain, I don't have a good answer.

What I'm going to do personally is only use U2F on my most secure services (email, 1Password itself, GitHub). 1Password with the TOTP stored inside of it should be good enough for the others.
Very cool, but I'd like to point out that unless/until this gets very popular to where Google changes their practices, it wrecks certain SEO perks (though so do a lot of fancy practices). Google still really likes plain old HTML primitives like <OL> or <UL> for lists, <TABLE> for tables, <P> for paragraph. Their featured snippets appear to be capable of extracting info that isn't in that form and bumping it to the top of results, but to prefer not to. My $.02 from starting to learn that game.
This book changed my life: The Future of Money

From Goodreads

"Today’s financial system is seen by the most as having a fixed size. Bernard A. Litaer challenges this perspective by showing that there were different economic systems in history and that our present system has arisen from a tacit and problematic collective acceptance. He sees the future in the development of complementary currencies. He explains which money is necessary for which needs and how we can commonly create it. Money only exists because of trust — where trust has been destroyed, money is loosing its value; chaos and poverty are sad consequences. Lietaer has written an exciting and informative book for anyone who is aware of economic problems, from interested laymen to bankers."

To be fair we've all been using foreign aid, armament sales and all the rest for exactly the same reasons.
> Think about how many people we have imprisoned in our so-called drug war. As a percent of our population, it's a lot more than in China.

Be careful what you're seeking to compare; with 11M Uyghurs and 1M of them in re-education camps, China has far more of a percentage of the underclass imprisoned (9%) than in the U.S. (with 1.35% of the black population imprisoned). This isn't to defend the prison practices of the U.S., which are still generally indefensible, but some heart can be taken in that the number of U.S. imprisoned (of all races, but especially black prisoners) has fallen year-over-year for more than a decade, whereas China's re-education camps are still growing.
That makes sense. Definitely feel like I'm adopting a similar mindset myself.
Even if you pay for it as a subscription, you can still create standalone vaults that don't use the cloud sync. I find the cloud service useful for my personal stuff (for sharing purposes) but I keep client info in separate local vaults.
The issue of false positives and false negatives is glaring in data sets of these sizes.

5% of France is about 3.3 million unique records.

From what I could see online, the false positive rates of various DNA tests are between 0.01%[0] and 40% [1]. Lets call it somewhere inbetween and say 20% are false positives, or 1 of 5 people.

This is just a lead in a case, sure, but that means that 1 out of 5 cases have false leads, wasting a lot of time and resources. I've no idea what the false positive rate for a 'normal' case is like, it could very easily be higher.

Granted, this is today's false positive rate, it should get a lot better over time. But to what percentage, and how long will that take?

Then you have the much more pressing issue of the false negative rate. I did not look too hard, but trying to find that rate wasn't simple. I've no idea what it is. In terms of DNA cases, you could then have a lot of potentially dangerous people falling through cracks in the system. Lets pull a number straight out of nowhere and say that the false negative and false postive rates are the same, about 20%. That would then mean that your odds of getting the 'right' criminal (specificity[2])are at about 80% and your odds of not getting the 'right' criminal (aka clearing people that are actually innocent, aka sensitivity ) are also 80%. Meaning that for any random crinimal case using the DNA database as a lead, you only have about a 64% chance of getting useful information out of the DNA database [3].

> What if we moved from "everything is a file" to "everything is a URL"?

Do you mean "everything not on my machine is a URL"? We're getting somewhat close to that already.

Or do you mean "everything on my machine is a URL"? Then I don't see how it's different from "everything is a file with a full path", except that someone else is now responsible for the security mechanism.

"Everything is a URL" would give you a unified view of on-machine and off-machine resources...
The idea is that successful message control will be subtle to imperceptible at first, but through successive actions it will just become commonplace to "not diss China".

If Reddit is the "forum of the internet" then it won't matter if it slowly erodes into a Fox News like media presence. It will exert the gravity over other forums through its "reasonability" on non-sensitive topics.

Kind of like how most modern politicians don't say anything bad about Israel.
the truth is you sort-of edited notes (you didnt typeset a book), you sort-of edited video (cropping and some minimal effects), you sort-of made a spreadsheet (try making an errorbar graph), or a photo slideshow (template-based). Yes they are a portal to computer creativity, a demo, but i doubt someone created a mobile game or learned to make a web page with them.
A lot of stuff missing on this list: death penalty, war crimes, mass surveillance of the whole world including industry espionage
I understand why Troy is doing this. Security is a big and a complex endeavor and having majority of the stuff done by himself alone is taking a toll.

One option that Troy could have done is to spin up a team / small company that would continue this project - with full control and guidance under his direction. That way, the trust that he has built from everyone at the community will be carried forward as the project progresses and matures further.

This will also allow visibility and transparency knowing that the people who would be working on this project will have access to him and everyone is on board on the direction moving forward.

Lots of companies / venture capitalists would be willing to support this cause which could provide the financing the project will need to be sustained and grow further.

I would pay a significant amount of money for a general computing device with the form factor and build quality of an iPhone.

Cell phones are amazing tech hamstrung by operating systems designed to drain wallets and collect data.

I do not have a phone number and I use a lower end Samsung basically as an ipod with wifi support. It constantly annoys me that apps that have no reason to require a phone number will not even let you register without one.
Could you elaborate? What made it toxic?
Journalists can't even competently review and summarize a published study.

Currently in China: largest number of people freed from poverty in human history. Their neighbors in SE Asia are also coming out of poverty, maybe 20 years behind China. I think trade war could make it tough for all, hoping we can avoid it. A bump? Let's hope it's not like the great famine China experienced in the eighties. I doubt it.
I think that captive breeding with the goal of reintroduction would fall under the welfare and best interest or scientific research clauses introduced and amended by the legislation.

Getting political, but this is classic Liberal Party. It's smart politics. It allows the party to claim the mantle of progressiveness even though it wasn't really them that did any of the work.

See also: Gay Marriage legalization. The Liberals passed a bill legalizing it, but only after the courts of two provinces were set to make it legal anyway.
> If you look at western Europe, free speech is restricted a little more

I wouldn't call that "free speech".
I agree, but, the practical reality in LA is that the police very rarely ticket people for riding these vehicles on the sidewalk. The insurance angle you mention is interesting, but let me ask the question: practically speaking, how would any pedestrian who is injured by a scooter rider in LA actually hold the scooter driver financially responsible? What is the mechanism? Will police actually even respond to a call for such an incident?
Only country? You should visit Canada.
I think a middle ground can be found.

While I really love the Toronto zoo, watching their lynx pace back and forth in the cage, digging a path into the ground, that really impacted my impression of zoos generally. Perhaps large[0] cats like that don't belong in small enclosures.

[0]Lynx are actually much smaller than I expected, and bobcats even smaller than that. Still, they need a large space to thrive.
It's a nice idea but you don't need to reinvent an OS to achieve most of these concepts. In fact, you can do almost all of these things today on Linux using i3 + rofi.
The actions of a government should come with higher scrutiny than the actions of its citizens.
ICE detention centers are closer to prisons than they are to nazi death camps. Calling ICE detention centers concentration camps is just pushing the "Trump is a nazi/Orange man bad" concept to its illogical conclusion.
For U2F there's nothing to be in sync: each key is added individually, and you don't have to add all of them at once. I.e. if you register the key on your keychain at work, you could later add the backup key in your home vault.

For storing TOTP keys on your YubiKeys, those must be the same, so you probably have to add them at the same time, or take a picture of the QR-code before you complete the registration.

A lot of people who advocate flat or structureless organizations actually have philosophical problems with even direct democracy for decision making.

The big objection is to making majority (or even supermajority) decisions binding on the minority, which is seen as coercive. Smaller objections to things like elected positions and parliamentary procedure, which are seen as too hierarchical.
Autofill of a password manager is a working countermeasure against phishing too: If autofill does not work there is something wrong and you should look closer...
This has become a pretty big problem for me. I keep the backup key offsite, and retrieve it every few months to enroll as a backup device with new services. I try to keep a list of services I need to enroll it in, but I've definitely forgotten to do so at times.

Ideally there would be a way to enroll the second device without possessing it, but I'm not sure that's technically possible.
That includes Hacker News, by the way. Now that "YCombinator China" is a thing, sooner or later YC is going to start getting gentle insinuations that they really ought to tone down the criticism of China on that forum site they run, if they want to keep doing business there. Then the insinuations will get not-so-gentle, and at that point either YC China or Hacker News will get the bullet.
I tried to get mine as future-proof as possible, but I was left with a choice of either getting the Yubikey Neo with NFC or a Yubikey with USB-C.

I went with the Neo, because it supports all of my current devices, and for USB-C future testing, I tested it on my phone with an USB A-C adapter and it worked there as well. I'm a Linux/Android user without any Apple devices, though, so YMMV.

EDIT: Should also mention that I received a free basic Yubikey as a gift for subscribing to Ars Technica about a year ago. USB-to-MicroUSB and USB-to-C adapters worked on that for all of my devices, as well. I feel pretty confident switching to Yubikeys now that I have two and can keep the newish one on my keychain at all times, with the basic one in a secure place at home.
Sleeping in an inflatable bed for two years is what’s insane. When I crash on a friend’s air mattress for a weekend I feel like death afterwards, but two years? I’d rather buy and throw away 10 beds and then withdraw the equivalent amount of cash from by checking account and set it on fire than sleep on an air mattress for 2 years.

AMP is not needed to promote less bloated websites in search results. Google could easily boost the ranking of lightweight websites without AMP.

AMP is an obvious abuse of a dominant market position and Google will come to regret it.
I'm just curious, since I see this brought up all the time- what is painful about DDG? The only times I have poor DDG results is for anything that leverages Google maps, such as a local business. Considering even Apple can't touch gMaps I don't find this surprising, but for general search I switched to DDG because the results were better. For example, my last search was "mdd 3754" to find the data sheet for a mosfet. DDG links to the result as the first click, whereas Google serves an ad so large I need to scroll down on mobile to even see a result, and the first 3 results aren't even in English. I'm genuinely asking, what sort of search queries does DDG return painful results for?
I'm talking about living in a stupid place, like in the 75 mile radius from San Francisco as an unusual market condition.

From a cash flow perspective, I'm spending about $20k in housing related costs annually. Given that it was 2006, I did a 15 year 105% ltv fixed mortgage. Renting, I would have saved a few bucks for a few years. Right now, renting a 3 bedroom in a neighborhood acceptable to me would add about $750/mo in costs. Total cash in hand with market returns would be around $10k.

Meanwhile, the house will be free and clear in a few years. When we move in 5-7 years, we'll be recovering the original equity, plus capital gains, which will likely be in the $50-150k range depending on the market timing.

If the choice was between have near zero housing costs and living on property my family owns or buying a house as an investment, I would agree you that the market is a lower cost, likely higher return investment. Unfortunately, I don't have that choice!

In a prior life I developed a slew of XUL apps, including a full-suite medical record system and billing system. It had its quirks, but for a developer-heavy (and design-light) firm it was a great way to build standard, predictable, and accessible UIs.

Indeed, right through R5RS, Scheme specified that certain situations in the processing of a Scheme program constitute an "error", without explaining what that word means, or any mechanism to catch such a thing, recover from it, or generate it on purpose (without provoking an erroneous condition). A conforming R5RS Scheme implementation can crash or abort upon encountering an error.

The challenge is remembering to enroll using your backup device. Also, ideally your 2 devices would never be in the same room as each other, otherwise you are at risk of something like a fire destroying both.
I'm still using my Nokia N900. It lasts a few days on battery and there's still nothing better on the market, although I sometimes carry an old Galaxy S3 to access banking app or to buy public transport tickets - however, I sometimes have to do without them when its battery is flat :P
Not that this isn't a valid concern, but is there really any evidence that this is happening in Silicon Valley? Hong Kong's a different matter because of just how comparatively dominating and close by the mainland Chinese market is compared to the tiny city state.

But in the US tech sector, the Chinese market is at best an after-thought. We're also living through probably the strongest seller's market in history when it comes to venture funding. My guess is that in most situations if a fund like Tencent tried to force an Internet startup to censor their content, they'd get laughed in the face as the founders just walked next door to the next VC firm on Sand Hill Road.

> Consider a car, for example: you have to keep track of oil changes, water, tires, brakes, taxes, insurance, and the list goes on, each with its own schedule.

Not sure where you're from, but for me and my two vehicles, it's not really that big of a deal.

* Oil - look at sticker on windshield (when I change my own oil, I just erase the sticker and write it myself)

* Water - look in the radiator every once in a while; low? Add some coolant (never plain water!)

* Tires - look at them every now and again; need air? - add air, tread look too worn? - buy new ones, hear a clicking while driving? stop, and look for rock or nail

* Brakes - look and feel, listen for squeaking; if it squeaks, probably hitting the indicator strip - change 'em out. If feeling spongy, flush and refill fluid; pull the tires off (during a rotation) and look at 'em. Rear drums if you have 'em - common on trucks - only need to be checked occasionally - they rarely need to be replaced often unless you haul loads regularly

* Taxes - what taxes? I buy used, pay with cash - anything else, you're getting ripped off

* Insurance - get the bill, pay the bill

I do as much maintenance as I can myself, otherwise if I think it needs to go into the shop - into the shop it goes. Having two vehicles means I don't have to worry about if one is in the shop. Sometimes I've swapped - one car in the shop, get it back, swap the other one in (usually for things I can't handle - things that need a lift or are beyond my skill or tool level). About the only other thing I have to worry about is timing belts, but that's only on one vehicle now (my Jeep has a chain, I'll hear the noise once it wears beyond a certain point - the 4.0 I6 is near indestructible anyhow), and I got it changed when I purchased it, so it's good for 60k, at which point I'll probably need a complete engine overhaul anyhow (given the age of the vehicle - 1999 Isuzu VehiCROSS).

I love both of my vehicles, and I can't yet get anything in a hybrid or electric that compares (nor could I afford it, even if it did exist). I sincerely hope that battery tech gains to the point where a charge will get you 600-800 miles (because once you put that tech into a 4wd vehicle, with a lift and 30+ inch tires - that number will drop like a rock). But it ain't there yet, and even when it does happen, I won't be able to afford v1.0 - so I'm sticking with my current vehicles.

Plus - I'm hoping my VehiCROSS becomes a collectible; it has all the categories of one, but for some reason, it hasn't quite happened yet. I love driving that beast, tho...
A desktop is not a mobile device. Design practices on one don't always translate well to the other. Learning how to use the keyboard well (i.e. touch typing) and learning one's OS's shortcuts allows one to be pretty damn efficient with whatever they're doing on a desktop. I'd posit that any near-term productivity gains are going to come from refining personal habits (e.g. minimizing external distractions and actually doing work).
To clarify, China doesn't "hate muslims" in the way some westerners do. Their current policy towards the Uyghurs in Xinjiang is a variation of a long-standing policy of sino-fication (also known as the "one china" policy). A policy that has existed in one form or another for over a thousand years. And it's why China is China today.

Other, more benign aspects of this policy are things like calling the various languages in china "dialects", even if they are mutually incomprehensible. Even "autonomous ethnic regions" are part of this policy... giving time for some minorities to slowly adapt chinese culture. You have to understand that recent western ideals of cultural pluralism is not widespread in there. Those in power in China view it as good and moral to move uyghur culture into something more closely resembling the broader chinese culture.

I get that most westerners would view this ethos as reprehensible, but if you have goals beyond simply being shocked and angry, then an understanding of their perspective is important.
In Bitwarden, yes.
