That may be, but at many companies, many if not the majority of their employees are going to have access to some information that their customers consider confidential. As a result, it's easier to have a blanket policy.

Given the general situation with data breaches and so forth, I wouldn't be shocked if, down the road, more and more companies decide that there's just too much risk with BYOD and require employees to use locked-down company-provided devices.
I think verification that the implementation is correct is easy enough, which implies that it is "strong", because these devices simply implement a spec.

What you might want to look at is things like hardware hardening or side channels. (Whether or not you consider this a matter of "correctness" can be argued, but here I would consider correct = implements correct algorithm.)

I think attacks against U2F devices are fairly difficult because you can't really use them as any kind of oracle, just due to the way the user interface works. But I am not a crypto expert, I just know how U2F works.

I see some benefits:

1/ I got many issues for upgrading cert-manager and for managing logs. With Certs I do not have those issues, it is a light and simple Chart.

2/ Cert-manager is asking too much role permissions. Certs uses only api permissions for getting Ingress annotations and getting/updating secrets.

3/ Cert-manager is keeping a container running. Certs uses CronJob to check if issuing a certificate is necessary or not.

4/ Cert-manager does not support Godaddy dns validation for example. Certs supports all dns providers supported by acme.sh (more than 80), you can find the list here: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/dnsapi

It absolutely is subjective. Two people may reasonably come to different conclusions on whether a given product is exploitive, particularly along the edges. Such is life. That doesn't make the analysis useless.

Dopamine is fine, it just isn't enough by itself. Playing a slot machine for days on end feels crappy in hindsight, even for the addicts who can't stop themselves from continuing to play. I'm concerned about how much of modern life is effectively becoming a normalized slot machine.

If you want to call experiencing stories, learning new skills, and forging new connections "long term dopamine", fine, maybe that's what it is. However, it doesn't take advantage of this very specific slot machine bug in our minds in order to become compulsive.
It's already there on Linux with tiled window managers. You can quickly switch between different contexts with work spaces, almost no pixels are wasted and it scales beautifully with high resolution screens.
That's a horrible analogy. And factually wrong. We use boats because wheels don't work very well on water. We use planes because they're faster. We don't use either anywhere near as much as we use trucks, cars, rail, and wheelbarrows.

In some ways, wouldn't it be great if the internet had evolved with, analogously to DNS, 'User Name Servers', like a sort of global distributed IAM?

Leak monitoring would be a service provided by the UNS, not falling to a volunteer, and credential revocation could be automatic and immediate.

I suppose we sort of have that bolted on with OpenID/OAuth, but that's still 'choose a provider' rather than 'this is the one way', with many servers run by different entities, but one 'system'.
Most laptops don't have eye tracking either. I believe this concept is explicitly ignoring backwards compatibility with existing hardware in favor of trying to envision the best UI possible with current technology.
While I agree with the general sentiment that the mental model of tags is more complex and discovering the right tags is a bigger challange than slapping some tag onto some file, I don't see it as something that needs to replace a traditional file system.

Tags are more useful for certain types of files than others. E.g. let's say you want to mark certain projects done. Instead of moving them to a done folder you can just add tags to them – without changing any paths you change their status.

Tags are also quite useful for pictures, music and other media content.

I never really got, why even in 2019 there is not good support for tags on most desktops.

BYODTEI

BYOD are a cost cutting measure by the office, but if you buy a second device then the cost isn't cut, it's transfered. To you. So congratulations on your pay decrease.
I don't think there is an OTOH with this one.

If we apply this principle to the scooter riding population, we have no idea whether the person who's brake lines were just cut is going to be riding on the sidewalk in the first place. Heck, even in the case that the next person to use the scooter does ride on the sidewalk, cutting their brake lines greatly increases the risk to the ordinary pedestrians around them -- which was the whole thing that sparked the vandalism in the first place!

Riding scooters on the sidewalk is bad, but not comparable. One is negligence, and the other is a premeditated attempt to hurt someone who may or may not even have done anything wrong in the first place, while simultaneously greatly increasing the potential harm to everyone around them.
> What if we moved from "everything is a file" to "everything is a URL"?

Oh, Hello RDF.[0] (Granted, in RDF everything is a URI but that's a minor detail here.)

At one point in my life I spent two years trying to work with RDF based data store modeling. Shoehorning everything into the subject-predicate-object worldview is probably beautiful from a purely mathematical point of view, but utter insanity in the real world.

Now, s-p-o model does open up a world of very interesting graph-theory approaches, especially if you're trying to build an inference engine. But at least in my experience it's not a realistic way to build general applications.

And if you thought XML as a data interface format was bad enough...

If he's buying into blockchain because it's decentralized, then it sounds like he drank the Kool-Aid. There isn't any proven use case for the blockchain yet except currency and that's already covered by Bitcoin. I can't think of anything one would do with video or streaming media that would even remotely require a blockchain. Those are some of the most centrally controlled assets in the world. Having them "run" in a blockchain on a bunch of individual computers is just crazy.

Complete Removal of Intel Me Possible on Certain Intel HEDT/Server Platforms
(Reposted from Reddit)

Intro:

Recently, Github user nkht removed the entire Intel ME firmware from his Asus R4E. Apparently, the ME Watchdog is inactive in the PCH and thus the PC does not turn off every 30 mins. I successfully verified this on my Asus R4G.

The findings:

https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/issues/278

https://github.com/nkht/me_removal

What is removed:

The entire "ME region" in the BIOS is blanked. Also, the MEI controller can be stopped by modding MEPlatformPEI.

VS ME_Cleaner:

ME_Cleaner erases most modules in Intel ME, and/or set the HAP bit.

In this case, the entire ME region is removed, halting ME functions even earlier than ME_Cleaner.

Potentially working platforms:

LGA2011-0, LGA2011-1, LGA1356: X79/C600 PCH

Untested platforms:

LGA1366: X58/5000 IOH

LGA1567: 7500 IOH

LGA2011-3: X99/C612 PCH

Likely won't work:

Mobo for ≥SKL CPUs, as ME 11.x changed a lot

LGA115X/mobile platforms (esp. using iGPU)

Mobo with Intel Boot Guard

Potential downsides:

If your PCH has an active watchdog, the PC will turn off after 30 minutes/stop booting. Intel vPro will not be available after modding. Like all tests/mods, your system may become unstable/have broken features.

Testing this yourself:

If you wish to try this, you may proceed to the links above. You might need a SPI flasher for recovery. You should also backup your current BIOS to save the UUID, Serial Number and MAC address. For Asus mobos with USB Flashback, you may rename the new image to ERALL.CAP and flash using a USB Drive. You have to add your mobo UUID, Serial Number and MAC address to ERALL.CAP via FD44.

Conclusion:

It seems like some Intel chipsets could have inactive ME watchdog timers, allowing Intel ME to be removed. However, the exact chipsets that have this is currently still relatively unknown.
This is a design exercise, not a product. And as a design exercise, I think it really nicely demonstrates the author's ability to think of radically new designs, even if I'm not convinced by many of them.

In grad school, my advisor told me: I can't teach you to have interesting ideas, I can only teach you which ones to pursue. It's ok to have lots of bad ideas, because that's the first step to having a few good ones. As for the author, I am impressed.
I mean, backup is kept at a super-secret-secure unidentified location.
"Toxic" in this case isn't referring to morally questionable - it's referring to "nobody wants it". There are many sources of cash (most of them, probably) that some people would consider morally questionable. People still want most of them. The article is referring to a phenomena that's a level up from that, where the cash brings with it enough practical problems that it's not worth taking.
Sinophobia, to quote Snicket, is a word which in this sentence means, not wanting to do business with China for national security and geopolitical reasons having nothing to do with race.

The website for Matter suggests they are a team of 4. If you're that small and have a set of problems that require this solution, that's a red flag. But more to the point, IMO you don't have the really hard forms of decision disagreement that are found in larger organizations where people are inevitably removed from decisions that substantially affect them.

Unless you're talking from that perspective... idk, it doesn't seem that interesting

I'd be more concerned about Chinese financing of Hollywood. Nearly every big-budget production these days has Chinese co-producers. This leads to farcical episodes like the remake of Red Dawn featuring feeble North Korea as the villain rather than China as originally envisioned.

Interesting, so our current method is to do just what you said -- start a foreground service and acquire a wakelock. But we only do it if our network request takes longer than n seconds (to avoid always showing foreground notifications). We still hit the issue. Other Googlers have told me I may be running into some race condition that happens with foreground services and doze.

Thank you for the detailed info about how those modes work though -- it certainly de-mystifies the network problems!
That a portion of the cost of operating a kitchen at home is a sunk cost is the only thing that keeps cooking at home cost-competitive with eating out at restaurants. The price of eating at a restaurant that is well above the cost of materials is already operating at an efficiency that is above what one can achieve eating at home, all things considered.

If the hypothetical prepared meal service could deliver food for near-material cost, it would quickly start to be difficult to justify cooking at home. At least on a cost basis; there are certainly other reasons why one might want to cook at home, even if it costs substantially more money to do so.

Absolutely nobody but a very select few people would care. YC is not even on the radar of lots of tech start-ups or their founders, the world is a lot larger than what you might think from hanging out here. And that's with full knowledge of the sea change that YC has brought for founders and the absolutely incredible number of companies it has generated, there are still many more people - and founders - in the world that have never heard of YC compared to those that have.
> 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.

This is interesting. I've never had a cellphone plan myself, however given that some apps (e.g., Telegram) and job applications require a phone number as you say, I've been using a TextNow [1] phone number with the caveat of needing wifi/cellular data. As of now, the only thing that worries me a bit is when I'm out and I need to contact someone but I don't have wifi access.

So how do you go about without a phone (mainly for calls)?

Also worth reading are Marx's critiques of Basiat and Say in his Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. Marx is even critical of him in the Grundrisse where he contrasts Bastait and Carey, in which he derides both as bourgeois political economists. Far from seeing what is "not seen", they are obsessed with price and external appearances:

>Bastiat, by contrast, presents fantasy history, his abstractions sometimes in the form of arguments, another time in the form of supposed events, which however have never and nowhere happened, just as a theologian treats sin sometimes as the law of human existence, then at other times as the story of the fall from grace. Hence both are equally unhistorical and anti-historical. But the unhistoric moment in Carey is the contemporary historic principle of North America, while the unhistoric element in Bastiat is a mere reminiscence of the French eighteenth-century manner of generalizing.

Your sarcasm detector is either on the blink or not tuned to the band I was emitting sarcasm in.

Rat wrestling is bad enough as it is, but with an actual rat involved at least I can attain reasonable precision with coarse muscle fibers. With fondling the rectangle, not so much, especially when clicks are involved and forget about dragging. I need two hands to achieve what even the rat lets me do with one.

But then again I'm old and cranky. Millennial hands seem calibrated to the fondlepatch, preferring it even to the rat, and I keep hearing gushes about Apple's fondlepatches in particular on Hackernews and r/programming.
I want someone to come in and crush entrenched rent-seekers by building and scaling better, cheaper products. There are only a handful of companies in recent memory that have managed to do that - Walmart, Vanguard, Uber/Lyft, and arguably Airbnb and Robinhood are the first few that come to mind - and I can't think of any other than Amazon that have done it in multiple spaces (CPG + IaaS so far).

I'd prefer if different startups did it in each of those industries, but I can live with Amazon taking over the world if it means that health care no longer sucks and selling a home no longer costs 6% and kids in underfunded school districts get their questions answered.
> If that sounds difficult to believe consider that we have nukes in excess of 100 megatons

No we don’t. The biggest ever was Tsar Bomba, which was 50 Megatons with the option to make it 100. The aircraft that dropped it barely got out of the way in time, and it was only on a plane at all because it was too big and heavy for a missile.

I tried to negotiate with one journal regarding their OA fees, and I didn't get anywhere. Their journal, which I preferred because it was more specialized (it's not particularly prestigious because few people know about it) charges about 40% more than the cheapest OA journal in my field. The journal staff didn't seem to care how much cheaper their competition is. Not surprisingly, almost no one publishes OA in that journal.

Still, the cheapest in my field is AIAA journal at $2000 per article. That's still outrageous. Given my understanding of what happens behind the scenes I find it hard to believe any journal actually needs that much money to stay profitable.

I'd be happy to pay an order of magnitude less, say $200, if that could ensure the article stays online for a long period of time. I don't know anything about starting new journals, but I hope competition helps this situation. I might start a journal someday...
Have you tried the rental e bike? I've only tried Lime's and it was hell to ride.

All these devices are absolutely abused. My lime's seat was skewed to the right, the handlebars skewed to the left, and it was the best one out of the clump when I picked it up. As soon as you touch the pedal the thing flies off nearly to top speed, which wouldn't be so jarring if the geometry of the bike didn't have you leaning forward on the seat and awkwardly holding the wide and unhelpful handle bars.

I'm sure a 'proper' e bike is much nicer, but these things are beach cruiser style bikes which have all the cons associated with beach cruiser style bikes. They really should have been mountain bikes with nice comfortable handlebars and a balanced upright position.

The scooter on the other hand, all you do is stand up straight and twist the handle. No clumsy positioning, no jarring electric assist. They are pretty fun to ride assuming you've picked a relatively unabused scooter, otherwise that too is pretty terrible and dangerous to ride.
