It's part that, but it's amplified by the fact that even in the tiny desktop GNU/Linux usage, there is no one GNU/Linux: a virus targetting a KDE, or GNOME, or XFCE, or—you get the point—something else, is targetting an even smaller part of that already small number of users.

Basically, the level of diversity in the ecosystem, while part of a reason for less widespread acceptance, also discourages any mainstream attacks.

Well, we have legacy anyway, because I can't economically use TLS or DTLS this way, so I already have a proprietary protocol. Presumably other designers are in the same position I am. And I'm not the only one looking hard at EDHOC and OSCORE, there are some pretty significant hitters in the IoT scene right now that are also looking at this and for the same reasons we are - standardized approaches in an industry sorely needing both standards and functional solutions that work on real networks.

But yeah, building protocols is hard. I should know, since I've been building a dead-end protocol for over 10 years, including HSM support, massive scale, proxy scenarios, HA support, and blistering pen tests, that I am very ready to give up for OSCORE/EDHOC.

TLS is not going to be "ameliorated by time"; RF isn't getting cleaner, radios are already very efficient, power management has gotten decent and there's not a lot left to squeeze. Putting bits in the air will continue to cost money. Embedded IoT will continue to chase the tiniest scrappiest cheapest hardware. Where do you think this "amelioration" is going to come from? TLS is going to get worse for IoT over time, not better. There will be ever more code points in TLS. The WG is going to continue to focus on big-box issues, privacy issues, server deployment issues, ever finer controls on timing attacks, extensions for SNI and other CDN issues. IoT problems will be solved elsewhere, with a different protocol, and that's fine.

This comment is amazing. I feel like the phrase "companies must maximize shareholder value" is regurgitated dozens of times daily on HN without anyone stopping to think about how meaninglessly broad the statement is.

Pretty much the only time that fiduciary duty ever comes up (in the sense that it is constantly discussed online) is cases that run up against the Revlon Rule, where you actually have competing offers to buy a company. But there really aren't very many of those.
This still boggles my mind as a Swede, how this is not the norm. Children are people who need the right circumstances, being with both their parents at an early age should definitiely be one of them.

On the flip side, as a single person, I can definitely see how alot of benefits you can claim as a healthy, working career person are tied to having a family with kids. Our taxes subsidize day care, kid sports clubs and many other expensive things that are exclusive to kids. And, as long as you announce it with enough warning, your employer has to grant and handle your paternal leave so a lot of people use it as a way to claim the best weeks for vacation leaving us single people puzzling how to get the most out of summer.

Still, raising children is no cake walk and I would rather that parents have the support they need from the government than the whole situation affecting the children.
Transgenics is nothing like plant or animal husbandry. Your reductive head-pat is not only a deeply condescending Appeal to Authority, it's also lying.

The majority of the people 'afraid' of GMO are thinking of transgenics, not selective pressure. Some of the people thinking about selective breeding also have a point about loss of diversity (see corn and cutworms). You have to go all the way to the far end of the spectrum to find people like you're describing, which essentially makes it a strawman.
Fully Charged recently ran an interesting panel discussion that they put online yesterday with a few vehicle to grid experts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkh33KjF3Gc&t=0s

One interesting thing with vehicle to grid is that EV battery capacity is becoming a valuable commodity. It's valuable to EV owners because they can sell back electricity to the grid and manage when they charge using either solar or simply low rate night time energy from the grid. This saves them cost and some cases makes a profit. It's valuable to grid owners because they can serve peak demand from plugged in EVs and dump access clean energy back into them so they can stay on top of peaks in demand and supply. It's even attractive to battery leasing companies or EV car companies responsible for managing the batteries because keeping them fully charged all the time when they are not in use is actually not that great for battery life. Some car manufacturers are already experimenting with battery warranty and vehicle to grid usage in order to take away the concerns about wearing out the battery.

So, vehicle to grid may be used to address exactly this issue. It's a complicated topic of course but providing charging points to garage orphans could be a profitable business. There are all sorts of interesting things happening around this.

> Whenever there's a revolution there's a potential counter-revolution. It's rare to be able to spike the guns with carnations, like Portugal.

Portugal's carnation revolution is a clear example that change has to come from within.

The man behind the coup was General Spínola, the man in charge of Portugal's fight against independence movements in Portuguese guinea. Prior to the revolution he wrote a book on how the war was unwinnable to pressure Portugal's ruling dictatorship into a political solution, to which the ruling Portuguese dictator refused. Consequently a couple of coups were attempted and when they finally succeeded the dictator surrendered and General Spínola took over as interim president of Portugal, enactig the political changes he defended such as ending fighting and jump-starting a transition to a democratic regime.

Meanwhile, the dictatorship's single-party parliament already included groups of representatives, such as Sá Carneiro's liberal wing, who were not only openly against the dictatorship but also openly advocated for a transition to democracy.

You can't get more internal than that.

For better or worse it appears Boeing is practicing https://codeascraft.com/2012/05/22/blameless-postmortems/

It appears to work in software, so unless demonstrated otherwise I assume it's effective in other engineering disciplines. We can learn from the equivalents of the FAA in other countries where blame automatically gets assigned based on who is in charge, it leads to finger-pointing and worse safety records/poorer investigations: watch a few seasons of Mayday: Air Crash Investigations to see the pattern. You see it especially in more autocratic countries where hierarchy is rigid. One especially good example is Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, there's a good chance we would've found the plane if everyone in the government wasn't practicing CYA which led to significant delays and made the search exponentially harder. Compare that to Air France Flight 447 where the right information was shared with the world immediately (and it still took us two years to find the black boxes).
Boston is different from this in a whole variety of ways.

1) Americans just in general tend to drive their kids to school dues to fear of child abductions and related ever-present paranoia.

2) Boston's transportation system is broken on just about every levels. The street organization is irrational, derived haphazardly from ad-hoc pre-auto paths. The public transit system was also built in an ad-hoc and is at level where full transit lines stop for days at a time. So all that's left is driving, though Boston drivers have a terrible reputation too!

3) Boston's weather is also miserable - the place is at just latitude so that wet, 30 degree weather prevails in winter, giving freezing rain, frozen rain, slush and all manner of nastiness. Plus horrible hot, humid summers. So you have to avoid walking a lot.

4) Boston experienced court-order busing to end segregation in the 1970s, so it's often true that students aren't in schools closest to them geographically.
I imagine that you had flagged my comment. I'd have appreciated the courtesy of unflagging it after it follows the guidelines.
The suburb where I grew up is like this. The city can't get any tenants for vacant commercial and industrial lots. The school district is loosing enrollment and closing branches. Recently trash and recycling has been privatized. The budget hole cannot be closed because the governor cut funding to municipalities. I think it's starting to hit a bottom though. While there isn't any new construction to speak of, as boomers pass or move a surprising amount of younger families are moving in, probably because houses are only 100-200k.

I don't know what the end results look like. More ebb and flow I guess. I will say that this is a middle-middle class suburb; the upper middle class suburb it borders with the excellent school district and an equinox is doing great with homes selling for north of 500k.
>> Accepting cash endangers the lives of employees and generally enables all sorts of financial shenanigans.

Financial "shenanigans" seem to be more likely with credit/debit cards actually.
> Further, "home equity" is a weird term in this context. Home equity is a mark of ownership and makes clear sense in the cass of a single home - 100% home equity in a single house means you get 100% of all the profits after that house is sold. The total number of "shares" for a single house is fixed and never changes, meaning home equity never dilutes. For a collection of homes in this model, it's murkier because new renters and new houses would impact the number of "shares" available.

If I understand correctly, I think they're thinking of it more like credit. When you make payments to them, you accrue "equity credit". You may exchange that equity credit for a given home, if it reaches whatever value threshold that home has. You can apply your equity credits to any home in their collection, however each home will require a different amount to purchase, and a different monthly payment to live in.

I think it's a really clever and really interesting idea, if i'm understanding it correctly.
Let's just be hypothetical though. It is possible that one of more of his rich friends knew or participated in his activities with children. It was all nice and under the covers until now, his might confess.

Let's say for instance POTUS was involved. How hard would it then be for Epstein to have a "accident" like suicide? The truth is simply we don't know, but if there is anything, perhaps it will leak out one day.

But the investigation will be stopped now, only know other suspects will be looked into.

What metrics? Illegal immigration has been in steady decline since the 2008 recession. Because you're not talking about the completely legal process of seeking asylum, right?

It sounds like you're describing IP addresses, except people don't type in IP addresses to go to their bank. They type in domains.

In fact, phone numbers are absolutely the equivalent of domains, and the equivalent of IP addresses in the telephone system is IMSI (I think). You can transfer phone numbers between subscribers, and so the number that you thought was going to your bank could actually some day go somewhere completely different.

Sketchybeasts concern was people "who haven't got time to charge their machines for an hour or two". Which suggests a once a week thing, which is why I suggested putting them in the supermarket, Sketchybeast then suggested they'd need to be charged everyday, and had previously, which is why I pointed out that they can easily be charged once a week.

So yes, I agree.
I read this in the 90's and it changed entirely how I traveled and spoke about tourism. Maybe it is useful here:
“We drove 22 miles into the country around Farmington. There were meadows and apple orchards. White fences trailed through the rolling fields. Soon the sign started appearing. THE MOST PHOTOGRAPHED BARN IN AMERICA. We counted five signs before we reached the site. There were 40 cars and a tour bus in the makeshift lot. We walked along a cowpath to the slightly elevated spot set aside for viewing and photographing. All the people had cameras; some had tripods, telephoto lenses, filter kits. A man in a booth sold postcards and slides -- pictures of the barn taken from the elevated spot. We stood near a grove of trees and watched the photographers. Murray maintained a prolonged silence, occasionally scrawling some notes in a little book.

"No one sees the barn," he said finally.

A long silence followed.

"Once you've seen the signs about the barn, it becomes impossible to see the barn."

He fell silent once more. People with cameras left the elevated site, replaced by others.

We're not here to capture an image, we're here to maintain one. Every photograph reinforces the aura. Can you feel it, Jack? An accumulation of nameless energies."

There was an extended silence. The man in the booth sold postcards and slides.

"Being here is a kind of spiritual surrender. We see only what the others see. The thousands who were here in the past, those who will come in the future. We've agreed to be part of a collective perception. It literally colors our vision. A religious experience in a way, like all tourism."

Another silence ensued.

"They are taking pictures of taking pictures," he said.”

Why do you claim Apple dislikes a decentralized tool for establishing identity? No part of Apple's business is even remotely related to what EV certs do, and the closest they come to "identity" in general is the recently-announced "Sign In with Apple", which is personal identity for use with other services, not a public identity or anything used for a company. Apple cares about this purely for user experience, nothing else.

I'm not really sure why you're including Microsoft in here either, but I'm a lot less familiar with Microsoft's various product offerings so maybe there is some reason why they care about the public identity business.
Selfhacked doesn't vet or validate very well. Tons of information that makes you feel like everything under the sun is going to solve your issues, but without the extreme evidence required to prove it.
I kinda agree.

Why don’t we include, in the EV cert, enough info to uniquely identify a business? E.g. the jurisdiction of business registration + the business registration number?
> [1]HTTPS encryption itself doesn't meaningfully require public key infrastructure, it's just that without PKI, you don't know who sent the encrypted traffic. Since domains are terrible "identities" and it's common for large organizations to use many of them that sound similar to scam domains, domain validation really doesn't tell anyone anything about whether or not they're talking to a trustworthy entity.

This largely misses the point. PKI infrastructure allows me to click a link from a trusted webpage (like a search engine which removes malicious content) to an unknown website and be reasonably sure that I am talking to same unknown web site that the search engine looked at. It's right there in the name "web" - trusted sites refer to other sites by domain, so domains are what we need to validate.
Because most statically typed languages allow us to define our own types, add type signatures to constrain etc. Dependently typed languages also allow types to depend on values. Inference is useful, but only one aspect of static typing.

> Deb packages have cryptographic signatures that can be verified to confirm it actually came from nodesource (or whoever)

And how do you get the GPG key to verify such signatures from third-parties? Usually via https from their website, no?

> Also, you can detect the curl|bash installation method server-side and serve different content

Yes, but you are supposed to trust people you get you packages from not to do it. And so and it should only make a difference if their servers are compromised and they sign packages with a key stored offline.

I think the latter is much less common then one would hope, with release processes in CI and such.
Perhaps men aren't comfortable seeking treatment in general. In the Sopranos, Tony is deeply ashamed and embarrassed that he is seeing a therapist. He keeps it secret from his friends and even his family. It's just a show, but I bet a lot of people, men especially with preserving that machismo, operate like that and refuse to seek help with mental health, despite readily going to the doctor for a physical ailment. At least with women there is less of a stigma for talking with a therapist, but the stigma still exists.

I had a really rough month where my 2yo was jet lagged and waking up crying multiple times a night. After that I've had two months of anxiety on and off, this is really helpful. Have always suspected that sleep could have been the trigger but didn't realize that an hour a night could make such a huge difference. Cheers!
Then I have even more questions, because in order to offset operating recurring costs for Arrived, that "equity credit" can't be a one-to-one mapping to the house's actual value - it has to offset costs for maintaining the house for you.

In other words, if you use your "equity credit" to take a house for yourself, you could end up paying more than the house is actually worth.
You can also see this effect in Google and Apple maps:

There may be three ways to get from one neighborhood to another, and the locals know that one is faster, safer, or both at certain times of day.

I have this argument with a couple of friends who don't understand why I use different routes at different times of day and specifically why I don't use their route, when they've never been in that part of town during rush hour.

I don't know about Missouri, but in Nevada I can carry a loaded gun into Walmart even if they have posted a sign prohibiting guns. The most that Walmart can (legally) do is to ask me to leave. At that point they can arrest me for trespassing if I do not leave.

I'm really curious about this Missouri incident. The veteran who pulled out his gun and held the (victim?) at gunpoint until the police arrived should probably have been the one charged. In fact, I would say the poor guy with the AR showed great restraint by not blowing the veteran's head off. As I understood the article, the poor guy had an AR and a loaded handgun, but he did not point it at anyone.

The article claims he was charged with "making a terrorist threat", but I guarantee he will not be convicted.

The value goes beyond a unit of traffic alone if you can use it to help maintain an effective monopoly, as opposed to trying to compete with one.

Sorry, messed up with a typo I couldn't edit later. There is an oversupply of lawyers and law schools and law firms have closed. Yet as the article talks about, there is the article which talks about some thriving law firms, so it's not all bad. There was also the real partners and the not-partners, some of whom might become partners, others that were just paid by the hour and would not become partners. So I was trying to say that it wasn't a clear story, some good things, but because there are fewer good jobs for lawyers (and fewer high paid partner opportunities) there's also bad stories. But I'm sorry, my comment was unclear.
