I always appreciate peoples' willingness to be self-deprecating about their situation, but just because the world is imperfect doesn't mean that that imperfection is evenly distributed. At least here in the US, it seems we have a dearth of both understanding and ability to reason about the degree of that understanding.

> But it certainly isn't as bad of a thing especially compared to Uranium and friends.

Tritium is something like 10 orders of magnitude more radioactive than uranium (in terms of its specific activity). Uranium itself is so low in radioactivity that the bigger risk when handling it is heavy metal poisoning. The by-products of fissions are much more radioactive, though.

> This includes both how to build a better mousetrap (one that doesn’t have a “backdoor” or significantly weakens the encryption mechanism), and how to solve concerns about abuse of exceptional access.

There is a simple way to solve concerns about abuse of "exceptional access": Not to include any "exceptional access" mechanisms. Securely implementing a cryptosystem is a daunting task almost never achieved. Intentionally creating a human-controlled mechanism to access plaintext makes the problem much, much worse.

> There’s no discussion of how to build exceptional access encryption that solves the weakening issue, just that it “can’t be done”.

Please consider that there is fundamentally no way to solve concerns about exceptional access. "Exceptional access" means that there is necessarily a human attack vector: Those humans who control whatever mechanism exists to provide LEO access to plaintext. This necessarily weakens any cryptosystem. If those people are compromised, "exceptional access" will simply be "routine access". Further, because decryption of data emits no obvious signs of physical tampering, even citizens who trust that "exceptional access" is not being abused cannot verify that.

I actually appreciate the name of your 5 hour old account. You're correct. We are experiencing mass hysteria over cryptography. However, it is not security professionals who are hysterical: it's people like you, who apparently never met an argument against liberty that they didn't like.

You say Tony was taking tips, Tony says he was grossing up workers who don't earn enough tips. The whole outrage is people want to pay less than the job is worth and then blame Tony for it from his side.
Sure they could. Just as a bank will refuse a transfer if they think it is fraudulent.

Clearly he wasn't too rich and too special to be accused of fraud, as that's exactly what they accused him of, so why not refuse the booking and nip the fraud in the butt?

> good practice to use a sentinel value for a password during testing and grep logs

Yes. I thought that was pretty common practice. We catch PII (not just password) log-leaks this way that verifying this way often enough that our developers have even learned[1] to check the searches before we yell at them when they try to take something leaky to prod.

If you don't automate detection of things like this you will make the same mistake again.

>They're also at the point where all their models need a refresh or a replacement. Tesla is slow at new models compared to the competition.

They're definitely at the point where their competitors would have released a replacement (Model S) or refresh (Model X). I'm not sure it's clear that Tesla actually needs to do that. Ford and GM don't release new models just because the clock demands it, they release new models when the market demands it. Is the market demanding a replacement to the model S, or did the Model 3 hype cycle alleviate that demand?
I'd be really curious as to why they chose not to go with something like

That's not a truthful statement, or even close.
Simply buying a capital asset is not an expense. It just moves assets from one asset account (cash, for example) to another (fixed asset account).

You then depreciate the asset over the expected life of the asset. So if you depreciate it over 30 years, then in year 1 you would record a depreciation expense of 3.33%. (That's for straight line depreciation.. there are accelerated schedules.)

In other words.. It's spread out over the expected life of the asset.

Also the depreciation usually wouldn't start until the asset has been put into production.
> In most of France, Belgium or Germany it's impossible to find apartments with ceiling fans or air conditioning.

My girlfriend's grandparents are still in france and the 108 degrees fahrenheit temperature that it is supposed to be tomorrow sounds miserable. The grandparent says that people are looked down upon for having AC so they had to buy the grandparent a fan but that doesn't help when it gets above the 98.6 degree body temperature.

> Possibly the worst offence in Germany and especially in Belgium is that you can't ask restaurants/bars for tap water. They'll refuse to serve you, and will ask you to buy bottled water. (Tap water is 100% safe, they just don't want to do the kindness)

We got a lot of problems here in the US, but I love that I can get tap ice water from every restaurant for free and I've even gotten free ice water from starbucks without buying anything. So nice.
I think it was some kind of logs. Probably request logs.
What is cool about Manifold's new preprocessor is that it does not involve extra build steps or additional file I/O as do many conventional preprocessors. Instead, via the Javac Plugin API, the preprocessor contributes as an integral part of the compilation pipeline -- it's FAST, very easy to use, and allows you to build multiple targets from a single codebase.

In any case preprocessors are definitely not for everyone, but if you provide separate distributions based on Java version, library versions, Standard v. Pro versions, etc., a preprocessor can save you a ton of trouble.
It is possible. But much easier to get wrong than to get right.

Specifically if you hash the password client side then the hash fundamentally becomes the password, and having that sit plaintext in logs is identical to the pre-hash password since both can re-played to authenticate.

The idea is my own, and not fully rigorous, but there are two general cases for rail infrastructure: de novo development amidst industrialisation, generally lower speed (80 mph max), and post-war (or post-occupation) development and expansion. Note that "prerequisite" != "sufficient requirement", and "strong" == notable, but not essential. Complex systems in reality are multidimensional.

The British and US rail systems were developed as industrialisation progressed, notably IR2 (coal, steam, iron) and IR3 (steel, electricity, precision).

The US rail system was further developed in the wake of depopulation, genocide, and land appropriation from the indigenous tribal peoples. Governmental land grants to railroads were a major funding mechanism.

Development of HSR has tended to be a Post-WWII phenomenon, originating in Japan, then France, Germany, elsewhere in Europe (though generally not the UK), and recently, China.

The usual factor cited has been density, which matters. But both national economic policy and rights-of-way acquisition costs are massive factors, which the more free-market, strong-private propert rights regimes of the US and UK resist.

Wikipedia's list of HSR systems excludes Switzerland, though lines are presently under construction there (notably GBT): including Belgium, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Japan, Morocco, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uzbekistan, and Turkey.

I do not understand apps that add animations that can't be fully turned off like os x and others. The designers of such apps are clearly delusional in thinking that I want my user experience slowed down the millions of times I'm going to use a feature like changing spaces in os x. That's not an exaggeration. Same thing with unskippable cut scenes in video games. Or anything like that that's not essential and is going to either be happening thousands or millions of times or takes longer and a split second. These designers, as most designers, are designing for eye candy, not usability. They should be fired for such stupid and human unfriendly decisions. That's how bad such UX is. Especially Apple's which makes their spaces completely unusable.

Well, the thought was to avoid a single agent having a fear reflex and pulling the trigger. In fact, I think the situation now is that one spooked officer shooting off the gun causes other officers to get spooked too and pull the trigger.

I think under those circumstances, having a consensus algorithm in place would diminish the likelihood of it occurring, since, presumably multiple agents would have to have the fear reflex at the same moment. Unless agents are getting feedback from others about their trigger pools, or decide before hand that they are going to do it all together, I just don't see the scenarios you describe being realized. Of course, if cops go in with the idea that they are gonna kill someone, then they are no longer behaving lawfully.

My real issue with the idea is how practical it would be. If an officer's gun didn't go off when it should have, and they were killed, then people are going to be really upset.

Servers make a lot while bussers and janitors and cooks get screwed
How durable are things like this? I know virtually nothing about 3D printing. How tough can items be made?
(co-founder here) Sorry to hear about the issues you've had with our 2-day program. We've been working on making it better and the caps are now much more rarely used and we'll be getting rid of them completely shortly. Hope we can win you back one day :)
It's not about making rich people feel better about themselves. In the case of restaurants at least, in the US servers are often paid below minimum wage, because the employer claims that the bulk of their employees' wages come from tips.

That's not anyone making anyone else feel guilty or good or bad about themselves, rather that's an entire industry that has been allowed through actual legislation to shift the burden of paying their employees from themselves to their own customers. That's the root of it. And those customers have no obligation to actually give anyone any money. It's a really screwed up system, and like you say it's completely unregulated and opens the door for all kinds of awful dynamics around racism/sexism/etc.

So, if someone stiffs their server in a restaurant in spite of their friends trying to guilt them into tipping, the person stiffing the server is truly the asshole in that situation. Yeah, the whole system's screwed up, it shouldn't be like that, it's all a big scam, but the service industry people shouldn't be the ones to get screwed over it. I'm not accusing anyone here of doing this, it's just something I've witnessed. I.e., someone who thinks they're really teaching someone (not sure who) a lesson about how much they detest expectations around tipping by stiffing their server or always leaving lousy tips. Whenever I've seen this happen, all I've seen was a rich person being shitty to a poor person to send a message to the poor person's employer that the employer never receives. I'm as annoyed by expectations around tipping as anyone, but hopefully everyone realizes that the restaurant server situation is very different from most other situations (valet, hotel employee, etc.).
yes, completely agree with this. To be successful, it has to be your hobby and you have to be hungry to know more and improve. It is also required anyway because CS and technologies changes rapidly. For example it is not common to write UI apps in Tcl anymore. :) but it is now more common to use LXC and Docker instead of virtual machines and shared library versioning hedeaches.
