> auto-signed by registrars, which is security theater

Do you consider Let's Encrypt security theater?

> And after 25 years of pointless effort, no meaningful adoption has occurred; rather, it has been un-adopted from the few places that tried.

For a long time the zone enumeration "problem" plagued DNSSEC. Everybody thought it was a fatal flaw, and it even led to a redesign that added complexity in an attempt to mitigate it. This made DNSSEC seem unnecessarily costly, a potential insecurity, and substantially hurt deployment.

Fast forward two decades and best practice is to put all your corporate resources on the public network, hosted by third parties. The refrain from those advocating for Google and Cloudflare DoH proxies is that organizations should be moving away from hidden domains. Well, if you don't have hidden internal networks and don't care about leaking your subdomains, then DNSSEC is simple and easy to deploy when self-hosting DNS, and a trivial upgrade to DNS hosting providers.

I get that you're a long-term opponent of DNSSEC. Well, I'm a weak opponent of QUIC, especially QUIC outside the kernel. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate and recognize the benefits, or actively try to oppose it. I try not to be inconsistent.

If you think Let's Encrypt is great, and you advocate for centralized DoH, then the major objections to DNSSEC cannot be sustained. That's different than affirmatively advocating for DNSSEC, but I just don't get the fierce opposition. To say that DNSSEC is, on balance, worse for the Internet (e.g. security theater) seems preposterous to me.
DoorDash doesn't operate in the EU, so I don't think they need to care about GDPR.
Multi-generational lineage of sorcerers including himself being able to observe the energetic structure of the mind and the entities attached to it.

This specific observation is in one of his books, the active side of infinity. It’s very disconcerting and very uncomfortable to read.

I have not observed these myself and I don’t think there’s instrumentation to confirm or rebutt these observations.

The classic trite "We take the security of our community very seriously." Nearly every corporate communication about a breach says it and often it comes out to have been demonstrably untrue.
Wall Street and the Fifth estate are being too skeptical here and fucking up what could be a pretty radical change. They just cant see past the way things have always been.

The question shouldnt be "is We a tech company" but "how close could they be to becoming one." If they have the potential to be the closest to delivering, thats worth something. How can they not see the value in owning all the building blocks and being in the process of assembling them.
Using real estate cash flow to fund building management software seems like a pretty fucking smart business model.

(that all said, it does seem like We sucked at offering a cohesive software suite, not sure whos fault that is engineering, marketing, org structure etc.)
From the author’s blog post, which goes into more technical details:

“While there’s nothing I could do about this from the iOS device itself, as it turns out the same underlying iTunes (WiFi) sync infrastructure I’m using allows you to also install and remove provisioning profiles from devices (since Xcode also requires this ability to manage profiles for developers). Before installing an app, I remove all the existing profiles on the device to make it look to the system like there are no other apps installed, and then once the app is installed I reinstall all the profiles. It’s very simple, but it works.”

It's probably worth mentioning that any take home worth its salt will explicitly list what criteria you're being assessed on.

It's crazy how many coding tests are poorly designed and waste a candidate's time. I'm putting together a list of good practice for test design here: https://candidatecode.com/articles/coding_challenge_best_pra...

Been using pure swift for quite some time now. There used to be some libs for which I'd have to make a bridging header, but lately there's fewer of those.
In almost all cases, there's a more appropriate way to indicate your expectations than using force-unwrap.

Even in those cases where you can't recover from a failure of those expectations, your code will be 1000x more legible if you demonstrate that you understand that the error could exist and what it might represent about the system as a whole. If you want to explicitly fire a fatal error after that because there's no other form of recovery, so be it.

Trying to capture all that in a "!" saves you a few LOC (or worse: minutes of reasoning) now but suggests somebody else might be pulling their hair out in frustration six months later. Please don't do that to someone.
The article talks at length about guys who are struggling or generally worse off than women but it makes no mention of the guys who have given up. I wonder how much that plays a role? The Japanese media have tales for years about Hikikomori [1] but the phenomenon certainly isn’t unique to Japan.

It’s one thing to call someone lazy, it’s quite another to try to understand why they live the way they do. Personally, I don’t believe in laziness as a real concept, at least not over the long term.

I'll add "flexible"/"untracked"/"open" PTO to the list too

I find myself having to scour the internet for what that even means. Turns out for some companies it's a hard limit of 20. For others it's OK if you take off 40 days. Most of the time it appears to mean around 4 weeks or 20 days - which is not great.

I have been fortunate enough to enjoy > 28 days PTO for the last 5 years of my career at 2 separate companies. It has been life changing.

I will never, ever, again go back to accured, or highly limited, PTO - and I encourage anyone who will listen to try to do the same.
28 days is very long compared to the regular 10 days/year in Japan.
It is all about adjusting the confidence required to make certain actions. A car traveling 70 mph on the freeway can be in a lot of danger if it suddenly brakes unnecessarily, but that generally isn't true for a car going 10 mph in a parking lot. You therefore have to be a lot more confident that "garbage bag" is a "baby" on the freeway while in the parking lot you can stop at pretty much all signs of trouble.
Seems pretty similar to VCS

You're being purposely obsequious, I think.

Let's try this:

If you take a LONG view ( more than the last 15 years ) you would see that prior to the fairness doctrine being removed, we generally weren't 'entertained' by media. That removal, rise of cable news and radio "shows" and the one issue wedge strategy of the Neo-con/Conservative movements created a socialization atmosphere for the last 30 years which advocates for a growing anger towards "mainstream" media. This first obvious signs of this were the obstructionists of the mid-90s, with Newt Gingrich leading the charge... This gave rise to the Tea Party, where obstructionism and venomous anger becomes the party line, not just an also ran belief. Simultaneous, the liberals are getting soundly beaten by not only a more directed and better orchestrated ground game but by tactics that aren't 'fair' by conventional standards. These events give rise to the seeds of 'falternative facts propaganda', which reframes everything as a personal attack and creates the 'drain the swamp narratives'. However, there's still a communication gap as traditional print media won't engage, and radio programming is notoriously hard to propagate. In comes the mainstream internet, starts connecting like minded folks from disparate areas who start grouping together. Twitter, Facebook, et. al start gaining in popularity, basing their entire business model on fueling the divisiveness playbook ( outrage engagement ), originated WAY WAY back when the fairness doctrine was eliminated. Media companies were also starting to getting in on the action, first by way of 'conservative' talking heads using shock-jock techniques pandering to their audience, creating a feedback loop. Liberals, after a few years of this, start seeing that they're 'losing' the culture war and fight back, emulating the tactics of their perceived opposition. Sprinkle some foreign involvement to amplify, season liberally with money and boom: 2019.

Anyway, I could go on, but I think you're not actually interested in any of this, but instead are trying to Trojan horse some nonsensical ideas about causation under the guise of intellectual exchange ( see: "China gets a bad wrap" as an example ).

Thanks for the chat though, I wish you the best.
Why did they need the jet? Was it to swiftly fly startup founders around the world conveniently when they needed to attend something?

And to think that this mess nearly got listed :(

If that were the case then nobody would fall for the scam.
The first point is VERY valid. There are tons of stories of people waiting weeks for a simple door repair.

The second one is kinda whatever. I don't actually fear they will go out of business. But neither do I have infinite confidence in their business model.
what the hell just happened? Way, way faster than anything I've seen in quite a while and loads faster than the 64.ms nonsense.
What are "old-fashioned loops"? Does that mean C-style?

As an also Lisp programmer, I find Swift's limited (and fixed!) set of control flow constructs downright ancient. They added for-each loops, but that's it. We had more "modern control flow" in the 1980's.
It's really difficult to actually do a thorough check of logic , exploration of alternate approaches, performance concerns, etc. in all your code reviews, it would be an insane amount of time spent and probably no real return on investment for the company (obviously devs would love to spend a couple hours weighing the merits of different approaches to a problem).

I have a list of checks to run through, some general (Sass variables used, reusable code/components used if possible, variables have meaningful names), others more specific to our codebase conventions. I add to the list as new conventions get prioritized and check it. Code review is more about maintaining codebase consistency than suggesting alternate solutions to problems for me.
If you announced that you were going to go bankrupt in the future, your creditors and investors would bail, making you immediately bankrupt. There’s no way to ‘wind down’.
> “Now it’s the case that more highly educated women are marrying down,” says Lichter. “Men have to get with the program.”

This....is unlikely to happen. Men will simply exit the dating market faster than women will tolerate that they have to settle (similar to a cooling housing market where buyers go elsewhere because sellers aren’t motivated).

EDIT: User "rblion" explains why in this thread very well: "I think this is a bigger problem than just economics, it's a cultural one too. You have a entire generation of boys/teens/men who either grew up with or are growing up with an endless amount of entertainment (games, movies, shows, music, porn, drugs), the consequences of outsourcing and automation, and the rise of feminism/PC-culture. All at one time, of course many are giving up or just opting out."

If you can barely hold onto the socioeconomic ladder already, are you going to be a masochist and try to meet your partner's (likely high) expectations as well? Probably not.
It's really baffling. The CarPlay experience in our Volkswagen is so good I cannot imagine ever going back to an automaker's in-house system. Even the ones in the luxury cars I've had -- BMW, Mercedes -- have been absolute crap compared to CarPlay.

I don't even care that it requires USB.
Nginx and Apache alone run about half of all active sites. That's pretty much the critical path to adoption. In fact, I'd argue that it would be impossible to adopt HTTP/3, or any other protocol, if those projects don't support it.
I have an idea: maybe software engineers and tech managers could take a bit longer to do things, so that they don't have to rush to fix them later. Because it's exactly what HTTP/3 sounds: a rushed fix for the HTTP/2 screw up.

Straightforward they have no interest in losing control of the software running. I think the idea is that the product will continue to work even after smartphones. Also they were a bit miffed with Apple a while back.

But yeah no nothing to do with data rights on Apple’s end, google does want more data though.

Look at things from the perspective of a CEO who knew his only chance to save the company (and his annual bonus) was to gamble all-in on getting a government bailout.

I can understand that the choice is more like:

1) auto-review with false positives/negatives

2) no review at all

Frankly, I don't have a solution outside an unrealistic one hiring external experts reviewing each submission which would probably deplete the pool of developers all around the world.
>"Also out are some of the 10-plus staffers who worked directly with Mr. Neumann in a group that was referred to internally as the “oval office” and included some friends who worked on personal deals for him."

Wow so there were people on the We payroll that were being paid by We Co. to work on private deal's that only benefitted Adam and not We Co? The level of of greed and hubris involved in the We story is really incredible.
> The MIT Tech Review seems more focused and also does a "Innovators under 35" list

The “MIT” Tech Review list is equally manipulated. Ask your company’s PR company to get you on the list.

I put “MIT” in quotes because the only connection this magazine has with MIT is that it licensed the name from the alumni association in exchange for sending a copy of each issue, bundled with alumni note,s out to each alum.
In today’s world it doesn’t matter what you do, just what you can convince enough people is true. The disbelievers are just jealous.

If you do, you should stop now and just put your hard-earned money into an index fund and call it a day.
I second this. I had the same concerns but we stop anyway with young kids. And charging has never felt too long. Since there are so many superchargers in the northeast US (DC-Boston) you can stop for 15 mins at a time even and that’s fine too.

Attacking the messenger* is not ok, particularly when they are vulnerable. It is our duty as a society to find safe places for 8, or 18 year olds, and anybody to express themselves without fear.

The fear should be focused on the message, and could turn into: What are you personally doing to combat climate change? What will you say you did when you look back in 2050.

*There is an exception for those who seek to undermine the system. The Nazis, the people who send porn to 13 year olds, the columnists who continuously deny climate change is real.

Is this a continuation from previous message ?
Because multithreading mode of zstd doesn't impact its compression ratio.
It's actually an interesting property of zstd : whatever the nb of threads used, the compression ratio remains the same (aka. reproducible).
Imagine how much bandwidth they'd save if Superchargers with WiFi offered the latest software version cached locally at full WiFi speed to the cars...
I've driven my Model 3 on a 2400-mile road trip from Fremont to Memphis, as well as many 200-800 mile road trips and it has really exceeded my initial expectations. I would not want to take a long trip in a conventional car again.

The combination of autopilot, infotainment, and smoother ride makes it less tiring. The charging stops tend to happen when I would want to take a break and eat anyway. Also, hotels with Tesla chargers are great.
Is there coffee at Superchargers?
I used to work with a guy who made the Forbes "30 Under 30". He had a friend who worked at Forbes. He was a low-level lawyer in a congressional office and completely exaggerated his role in the article. When we all saw it, we laughed. The guy was almost fired on the spot and had his role significantly diminished -- he was gone soon after. It's a joke.
There exists many such bases, you could also take all the monomes and approximate a function by its Taylor development. However, it does not mean that such bases can be efficiently approximated in a reasonable dimension, nor that conversion from/to textual representation is easy. A deep learning network would achieve those points.
In a normal standard company, the argument for buying a private jet is that the value of the time it saved for the person(s) traveling exceeds the costs of flying & maintaining a jet. Wendover Productions did a pretty good video on the topic. [1]

The other major caveat is that your trips need to not venture far from the interstate. I was interested in a Tesla, but my frequent camping trips in Rainier make it impossible for the moment.

I think this is a bigger problem than just economics, it's a cultural one too. You have a entire generation of boys/teens/men who either grew up with or are growing up with an endless amount of entertainment (games, movies, shows, music, porn, drugs), the consequences of outsourcing and automation, and the rise of feminism/PC-culture.

I've dated women I thought I wanted. One was a very attractive girl who was into astronomy and whose movie was Jurassic Park. She also had Borderline Personality Disorder. I recently dated an older woman who is a musician and a hardcore vegan, I parted ways with her because I realized I would never be able to live up their list for a 'perfect partner'.

I'm 29, maybe I'll settle down in my 30's. Maybe not. I honestly don't know. I don't think being married is for everyone. I have some friends and family who are married, they don't always seem happier. If anything, some of them seem trapped.

For now, creativity, learning, and travel are more fulfilling to me than dating, meaningless sex, chasing women.
I've been using Gatsby to develop some sites and I suppose the benefit is you can largely develop like you would a frontend app and deploy like a static site. It is actually quite nice to use though the GraphQL takes a while to get used to.
I know a few people who were put on the list of 30 under 30 a few years ago. Nothing particularly interesting has come from then since they won the award.

It's one of those things, where the more personal brand building you do (speaking, posting on LinkedIn to a degree, tweeting), the more of a negative signal it probably is, with a few notable exceptions (Keith Rabois for example stands out as a VC with a good track record, yet posts a fair bit).

I do sales recruiting. It's never the strongest startups, that are doing the best that have executives and VPs all posting content 24/7.

To that degree, I have a friend who is a personal trainer at Equinox, who essentially said the same thing in the health and fitness world - the people who are posting the most impressive work on social media, actually tend to have fairly lagging results in the real world.

Also, final point, it's not really 30 under 30, it's 600 under 30, and it's a bit ridiculous. You can't really compare someone like Kylie Jenner or Lil Uzi Vert or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with someone who runs a startup that sells socks online.

Then what is the reason for websites asking me to accept? Some websites also offer me the ability to select/deselect some cookies, but cannot deselect "necessary" cookies. There are websites that do not function until I accept. Some sites explicitly state this, and they do ask me to accept/consent.

Example: https://edigital.sk

On the right, you will see a down-arrow, click on that. You can clearly see the first checkbox on the left being checked and disabled, it is the "necessary" or "essential" cookies to what I am referring. You cannot deselect. On top of that, there is no way to close the popup (?), it is by design. Of course there are ways to circumvent it, but that is besides the point.

There are many other websites like this, but I cannot remember them. :/

So all the thousands of scientific studies out there that constantly validate this conclusion are confirmation bias? This is one of the weakest assertions against climate change I've ever heard. It's not even an argument because it doesn't present any reasoning or evidence. This kind of weak thinking is why we haven't made progress on this issue. Hard to believe this is the top comment here considering the levels of education on this hn.
