Compliance involves encryption at rest and in transit and with cloud providers making sure you only use HIPAA compliant services, getting BSA’s with external contractors, minimizing who is allowed access to data, etc.

It’s more complicated than this but this is a good overview.

I feel like you need to read the article again, that is, if you read it in the first place.

The author made many good points about why spying on foreign born students is a bad idea. One of which is that the vast majority of scientific research is published for all to see, including our "enemies".
Correct - limited / no redundancy tech side.

The design redundancy was the pilot in the loop - ie, in a stab trim situation pilot would follow a memory item. So this meant much less automation protection compared to systems without pilot in loop.

"But you seem to be unreasonably reluctant to believe that maybe it's not."

WE have covered many area's, trains, planes and hospitals (maybe a movie there). Sure I'd rather focus on the technical aspects and not presume this was something totally avoidable. Rather look at each nuance instead of the binary blame game. Which is not clear cut. After all - we don't know what SLA's supply contracts are in place now do we. But nothing is ever 100%. But it is possible to argue both sides of the coin and without ALL the details, go around in circles.

If we really want to blame anybody - why not just blame God for allowing it to happen and move on. Leave it to the report, which will happen into the incident and associated fallout to cover all that and discuss any blame then, once all the facts are in. But remember - we do not know what the SLA levels are, so all those fallouts take on a whole new perspective of blame. Equally, you can have a problem and nobody is to blame - though God works for those, at least "Act of God" is actually used in insurance contracts (yes worked in that field as well disclaimer, though late 80's early 90's). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_God
You'd think so, but in fact reinterpret_cast from char* (and unsigned char, and std::byte) is explicitly allowed by the type aliasing rules.
My best is 91. I can get to 80+ reliably by first going to one of the edges and attracting as many red squares as possible then dragging them to the other side of the screen. Seems like a fun training ground for an evolutionary algorithm.
My point was that running your own server isn't about just getting Hello World working, its about the fact that you basically are now living in a world where you will potentially have delivery failures of your email, or incidental things you need to fix at random. Imagine if this is how your phone worked: on a given day, you may find yourself suddenly having to learn about why your phone calls stopped going through, or in general, 0.01% of the time people can't reach you with no explainable reason. The idea I could wake up on a random Tuesday and find myself debugging ancient erlang code to diagnose my phone calls regressing feels no less disastrous than having to read the source code to my email server if/when it mysteriously stops working.

In any case, this is a argument as to why it's an uphill battle to convince people that running your own server is an easy endeavor. (Which seemed to be the point of this post.) It says nothing about switching off of gmail to another provider as you did, or if the actual burden of running a server is worth the privacy trade-off for an individual (i'd argue for most it isn't, but wasn't really the point i was trying to make.)

Switching from Google to another 3rd party provider doesn't eliminate privacy risk, it shifts around the probability distribution for certain kinds of events to occur. (Arguably, so does hosting your own server, but hosting your own server does rule out large classes of failures.)

1.4 The Desktop-Scripting Problem

Related to the shell-language design problem is the desktop-scripting problem:
How should unrelated programs written in different languages be integrated—especially
in an ad-hoc manner in a desktop environment? Such a task can require a large
amount of glue code, written by users who are unfamiliar with the inner workings of
the programs they are using. Notable attempts at solving the desktop-scripting prob-
lem include the TCL language [Ousterhout, 1989] and Guile Scheme [Blandy, 1998].
However, while most of these approaches use a large, robust language, it still remains
difficult to integrate them with external programs—instead putting the burden on
those programs to integrate with their system. We believe a shell-based approach is
promising

Hmm, Scheme as a large language? Well, I don't know much about the extensions Guile Scheme has over RxRS, would hope for someone to add info here.

No, the very essence of capitalism is allowing those with advantages (work ethic, intelligence, strength, charisma, etc) to capitalize on those advantages. It's the natural selection of economic systems.

The essence of socialism is the belief that even if you aren't good enough to survive in society, you still deserve to survive anyway.

I don't think either of those deserve to be mentioned in the same way as Alan Turing, and no amount of time passing will change that. Note that Alan Turing was persecuted for what he was, not for what he did. I also don't think there will be an ACM award named for either.
Excellent to hear. It makes sense to keep your focus on the front-end, though the general idea of a WASM style "native" code would be very interesting for many of us as you say. There's one group running BEAM on bare metal using just an RTOS [1] but even just WASM code for hot paths would be handy instead of writing NIFs. It'll be fun to see how the project goes, best of luck!

Please see the sibling thread (to your comment) for why I'm not going to do that. This "glitch" is probably intentional.

Haven’t tried screen sharing, but wayland does fix problems. Mixing HiDPI screens and regular screens (think: laptop/desk screen) without having lego-block-sized pixels on at least one of them. Sadly apps without wayland support don’t support that properly yet.
There's little evidence that raw milk has higher "nutritional quality". Taste you can make an argument for, and raw milk is definitely required for yogurt & cheese if you don't want to introduce your own cultures.

I'd also note that "pasteurization" can mean different things in different countries. In Europe it's usually more extreme than in the U.S., as the milk is heated ~60 °C higher for a shorter period.

To the best of my knowledge, casting to char* is totally fine (inspecting an object as bytes) under certain constraints.

What is not fine is pretending that an object lives at a position in memory where it does not (i.e. treating bytes of memory as some object through a reinterpret_cast away from char* ).

Edit: To clarify, casting away from char* is of course allowed if you cast to whatever object type actually lives at the pointed-to location.

I agree that Trump "probably didn't just snap and post". His Twitter account has always been shared between Trump personally and his staff. Frankly, calmly sharing facts and evidence like this is 180° from the pattern of Trump's more impulsive tweets.

> the ability to spin up and then successfully operate remote engineering locations is a skill that technology companies need to develop earlier

+1. As someone who puts (expensive) food on the table in a metro area, this is scary to me, because it makes me more replaceable.

But the old arguments (we need people on-site, we need people to understand the context, remote teams have lower quality) sound thin now, especially given that on-site has its own efficiency problems in the open-office era.

Commuting & telecommuting tech may get better, project management tools may get better, reputation management will transform marketplaces like fiverr, something better than slack may come onto the scene, but even without these improvements, the talent bubble will force managers to hire away from the center.

I've worked at small cos where the engineering budget is the main blocker to growth / the business model working.
There’s a bit of circular arguments going on here. Sure moving more people into an urbanized area may mean higher housing costs, but housing is not the only expense. Healthcare is a huge expense with over half of all healthcare expenses consumed by those 55 and older [1]

Additionally, there are several approaches that can be taken to lower housing costs other than price control. Housing policies are a huge mess throughout the country as its regulated locally, and exclusionary housing policies limit high density developments necessary to keep construction and infrastructure costs down.

A 100% inheritance tax is destructive and the government doesn't know what to do with objects that are very valuable for their previous owner and their children but worthless on the general market. How do you liquidate a family business without shutting it down because you're removing the family that is working for it?

The way inheritance should be solved is by not allowing a single person to inherit more than 50% of the total net worth.
San Fran is not the only urban area in the US. Of course elderly people can’t move to Manhattan or San Fran. But there is lots of affordable housing in Omaha, Cleveland, Houston, Milwaukee, etc etc etc. Additionally, there is no reason we can’t build more housing in mid sized metros of that nature. (I guess Houston is not “mid sized”, but you get the idea.)

No one is talking about the elderly moving to places that are too expensive. We’re putting forth the idea that maybe they should move away from areas that are too expensive.
However you may feel about his treachery, history seems to have proven him correct; deterrence is what prevents nuclear attacks. The article rightly points out that he shared America’s nuclear secrets with not only the Russians, but the British, and most likely for this reason.
I agree. I only want my up-to-date data (which is feeds in this context) to be available in a bare-minimum fashion on my mobile, when I'm away from my desktop. The argument I make above is based on the fact that when it comes to RSS, your data (feeds) is either in a read state, or it is un-read. It should be up to the users to decide where and what he/she wants to read. The equal unavailability of the data/feeds on multi-platform makes it very hard to consume the feeds.
As a mind experiment, imagine money randomly appeared in your bank account.

$500 - Bank error in your favour and you move on with your life.

$5,000 - Maybe buy you some breathing space to look for a job you prefer. Pay off a debt?

$50,000 - Maybe you might quit and retrain in a new career.

$500,000 - Maybe you'd start looking to see whether you could jack it all in and live off investments.

$5,000,000 - Start that business you'd always fancied, without fear of failure. Or just invest and kick back.

$50,000,000 - Makes more sense to invest it, and do whatever you want with the interest.

Yes, I've just made up those sums and outcomes - but I think it's interesting how we look at "sizes of money" and would all do wildly different things depending on the size.

e.g.
If you got 10x$50,000 you're not going to retrain ten times. But give $50,000 to ten people and ten people might.

Or 10x$5,000,000 and you might get 10 new businesses - but $50,000,000 is unlikely to create any viable ones.

Keep increasing the PoW cost and think about where that line of argument leads you. "One message delivered to the inbox is worth far more than a billion messages delivered to the spam folder." One single delivered message is going to be profitable for the spammer? Clearly not. This proves the existence of some break-even point at a lower cost. Mail providers just need to set the cost above this point.
It may well be that cars with large batteries enable a smarter grid that can store surplus generation at off-peak and buffer the peaks better. After all - not everybody drives their car at the same time, and some access to a cheaper rate of electric for allowing your car to be used in such a way when it is plugged in, is certainly one avenue that may well open up more, as we see more and more electric cars.

Though the swappable battery charger offerings do seem to be more suited in accommodating such avenues and removes the worry of battery lifetime cycles from the owners. Worry that their car acts as a grid battery for a month when on holiday and reduces it's life beyond the cost of saving. So will be a case of getting the balance right. Hence I feel the swappable battery offerings may be at an advantage here and opens up making such solutions more cost effective to run.
Sorry, I'm not convinced that UI elements need to be "style-able" by the site. Every site ends up being slightly different from others as a result, because it feels the need to reinvent its own custom UI controls with their own behaviour inconsistent from the OS or even the browser's UI. (I have the same gripe about "native" Electron apps.)

Hasty generalization. Many of those in that list support custom domains. Only checking the first and applying that to all is just lazy.
Hmm, I thought it was "run control" . . . ;)
I built a similar system with a focus on profiling events with extremely low overhead. When taking an timestamp, the processor cycle count register is read, and pushed into a ring buffer with a tiny descriotion including a static string label. A background thread perodically writes that buffer contents to disk. An offline tool visualizes the recorded events and intervals over time and can do a bit of statistics.

This system has served me quite well, but I need to rework the UI because zooming to microsecond resolution on a 30 second trace overflows the range values in the Qt scrollbars.

Don't get me wrong, if you choose your partners carefully you can make this work in many (probably most) scenarios, and save yourself some headaches in the process. But even with the bigger players (like AWS), there is a tradeoff to handing such things over to someone else. Services aren't always as reliable and partners aren't always as resposive as they are advertised.

AWS is a lot more reliable than almost any in house solution. As far as being responsive, if you have a business support plan with AWS, you can always reach live, helpful support. Trust me, being on the Dev side, when I need resources on AWS, it’s just a click, script, or CloudFormation template away. Getting resources provisioned through the infrastructure gatekeepers can literally take weeks.

And just from the CYA standpoint and “no one ever got fired for buying IBM”. If your colo goes down everyone looks at you crazy and you have a lot of questions to answer. If AWS goes down and you took the appropriate steps at least making your infrastructure AZ redundant if not multi region redundant, it’s going to make news and no one is going to question why you chose AWS.
I wish that there were more apps that focused on the problem of searching and organizing archives and tracking ideas over time, rather than just another interface to the latest posts.

Well, sure. It's easy to say some investments benefit society, but most of the time they are solely for the benefit of the wealthy.

One just needs to look at the land stratification California has been going through to understand why. Most of the issues they face are a result of the wealthy doing everything in their power to prevent land from being upzoned or rebuilt because that devalues their property or ruins their view.

In this case there's no growth happening despite a desperate need for growth because the wealthy don't want it.

When everything is a religion the word no longer holds any meaning. Maybe we should attempt to distinguish between a ritual and a habit? What is the distinction? I think the amount of emotion people attach to it. To me religion is like a hamster wheel for the emotional life of people. Too much activity with no observable gain. A habit is more reassuring and only lightly emotional in a lightly soothing sort of way.

Agile could be a religion if it comes with lots of worry whether we are doing it the right way. It can also be a set of habits if you just do some practical things regularly.

You all do understand that you cannot really be working together if you never talk in some kind of lightly structured way about what is to be done, right?
That's interesting to think about. Almost by definition people won't agree which of those figures could become legends of the future.

It’s not “just my experience”. It’s practically a universal experience that the chance of emails sent from your mail server will be blocked or go into a spam folder a lot more frequently than using a commercial provider.

Of all the questions I have to answer on technology decisions, why would I want to answer why did I choose to run my own bespoke mail server instead of spending a few dollars and making it someone else’s problem and so metaphorically chose IBM - ie “No one ever got fired for buying IBM”.

Meat consumption exploded recently (20th century) and it isn't a big deal to reduce it.
