Yes. Obviously that is between my brother and I.

Rio wanted peace and stability. If people start a civil war, that is on them. Principle of personal responsibility and all that jazz. If the Beaugainvillians (and mainlands) had behaved like civilised and reasonable people rather than reaching for explosives and violence then they would have gotten a much better outcome - that sits with them. Life is not fair, other people treating someone badly doesn't excuse their purposefully choosing poor behaviour.

Your reasoning assumes that a VPN couldn't hurt, but it can. If someone wants to track you and you don't have a VPN, they need to compromise your ISP. If you do have a VPN, they need to compromise your ISP or your VPN.
An odd corollary of this is how being kind of bad can cause massive problems that get the attention of high level people and lots of focus. If you can then fix, or help fix, the problems and dodge blame, it's really quite positive as you get to know the high level people you'll be able to leverage for promotion and career advancement.

Honestly, one thing I’d like to see more of is cohousing projects out of the demographic shift. Theoretically there could be some leveraging of Qualified Opportunity Zone areas to help spur development, but ultimately the structure needs to be done in a way that serves community rather than maximizing profit.
"Centuries ago, if you could live comfortably (not amazingly, but not be in the street), just by showering a few old people and cleaning up poo, you'd have people lining up round the block to do it."

I got curious about why the NYT would do this and did a little googling, and I think her boss still works there (https://www.linkedin.com/in/billmckinley), so, per other comments, it doesn't look like the NYT is giving up on security or anything crazy like that

It does seem like they might be cutting staff, though, which doesn't feel all that much better

The odd thing is that Israel’s lesson learned form the 2nd Lebanon war was that boots on the ground win wars.

It found major shortcomings in its capabilities due to reliance on its Air Force as the go to solution for any problem and the emphasis on counter insurgency and essentially border security when it came to its ground forces made them unable to perform as well as expected in modern combined arms warfare.

Their solution was to restructure all of their reservist battalions, put emphasis on combined ground operations when it came to training institute new large scale military exercises each year in order to have an effective ground force which is capable of taking over and effectively controlling territory something that the IDF forgot how to do.

Their opinion was that all the intelligence and smart bombs in the world can’t decisively win an engagement, only ground troops can.

So in the coming war especially against a conventional or semi conventional force the US still has the advantage of being the ones who wrote the book on maneuver and combined arms warfare and having what is without a doubt the best trained and equipped professional army in the world.
Simplist yet best analogy ever for this. Thanks for bringing some sense to this.
I think so, they still have to be publicly disclosed with an appropriate notice. I don't know the exact rules, but I think it typically has to be announced something like 30 days prior. May also involve restrictions around significant events such as earnings calls, quarterly events or shareholder meetings.

I'm not aware of the details, as I'm just a peon in Back Office, but I do know traders pay attention to not-insider "insider" trading announcements from the SEC (yes, this pretrade information is publicly available from the SEC). I have no idea about non-US rules.

The tech industry does have a reasonably similar age structure but it’s because of decades of sustained rapid growth more than pushing people out. If your industry grows 100% a decade in employment in year 30 with perfect retention you have 25% of staff with 20 years experience. That’s quite different from static or falling numbers of jobs and getting priced out of working because you’re too expensive.
AFAIK Firefox does not "go out of their way to draw controls that don't fit in". On Mac and other platforms, the policy is that the controls look and feel like their native counterparts (unless overidden by Web authors) ... unless it's changed since I left Mozilla, and I don't think it has. In some cases, however, that has not been achieved. I haven't had a Mac for long time so I can't speak to the details of what works and what doesn't.

FWIW I use Linux and on Linux, Chrome makes no attempt at all to use the native platform theme, while Firefox does a pretty good job.

There is another less discussed downside to Vision Fund’s reckless spending and overvaluation of startups.

While Travis & Adam make their billions, the employees at Uber and WeWork are granted overvalued options and stock that subsequently crashes.

The Uber stock is still below where it was 5 years ago and may never recover. The WeWork stock will likely never recover.

As an employee, I would avoid working for a company that is taking funny money from VF. Its a big warning sign to see a company raise from VF given what has come to light.

Did NordVPN know about this hack when they were offering their deal for something like $88 for 3 years? I went back and looked at their prices from 2017 and it was something like $69 to $83.99 billed annually (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3200777/nordvpn-vpn-review.h...). I've been a NordVPN customer for a while but have been thinking of switching due to some articles touching on nefarious marketing practices and/or questionable data practices. Then I see this deal for $88 for 3 years and it was tempting to re-up. Coincidentally, when the deal ran out the news broke several days later about the hack. I for one will be finding a new VPN provider, but I can't help to think they were trying to rope in as many existing customers as possible before news of the hack broke. Suspect at best.

Am I not understanding your argument?

> they need to compromise your ISP or your VPN

Part of the point of a third-party VPN is that the ISP/router can't tell what you're doing -- you assume that they're untrustworthy. Compromising the ISP would be useless, unless your VPN is for some reason sharing the same info with your router, in which case... install a competent VPN client.

I don't see how you're adding an additional failure point, you're just moving the same failure point somewhere else.

Yes, once the VPN endpoint makes the request, an ISP can still intercept it. But this is one of the few cases where adding an additional network hop very likely does not matter at all for your privacy. Once your request is going over the open Internet there are already so many opportunities for people to spy on it. The benefit is in disassociating that request from you, not in hiding it once it goes public.

I was asked by moderators to not engage debates about ideology, so I'm not going to respond to this beyond saying that absolving him of his responsibility for making a prediction that ended up being proven wrong, and for forwarding a claim about the fundamental impact of automation that is a basic economic fallacy, is not intellectually honest.

I think in the case of automated translations it's a function of training data and confidence rather than cost. If you don't have a corpus of translation data for the source/target language combination to draw from, you're essentially forced into a pivot model.
I'm not talking about the selection of ciphers (though WireGuard doesn't have cipher negotiation because it has shown to be a universally bad idea because of downgrade attacks -- instead it uses versions and requires strict upgrades to operate).

Among many other things, you cannot do a port scan for WireGuard servers. You can do a port scan for SSH. This is because the WireGuard handshake was designed such that there is no response to unauthenticated packets (the first packet is authenticated by the client knowing the server's public key -- something port scanners won't know).

Jason Donenfeld has a few talks[1] that explain why the cryptographic design is the way it is, and it has several very clear improvements over SSH (as a VPN protocol).

If you just want to locate your phone, or your child's, or your employee's company phone, you can use Apple's or Google's built-in tracking; a third-party app is unnecessary.

If you want to directly monitor a child's or employee's usage, and/or restrict them from some sites/apps/settings, you probably want a parental/employer control app that doesn't compromise the phone to hide itself.

Have you read the article? These apps require you to disable important security measures on the target phone, leaving it vulnerable to attack, in order to hide the app from the user. There's no legitimate use case for that.

The tech & science behind the yield optimization -- up to 6x 'overclocked photosynthesis'

using aeroponics (not soil), optimized for photonic efficiency -- humans can accelerate the growth of plants substantially effectively "overlocking" nature.

it's based on the Minskey/MIT media lab designs and some pieces I found in China -- a training gym for growing plants, but with a non-laboratory 'real world' implementation.

also I don't think a single unit would be sufficient - not from a redundancy standpoint you'd want at least three for a 'quorum' and redundancy if life depended on it. otherwise it's a novelty -- but it's cheap enough everybody can afford one; and it has gamification to make it fun. it's a vegetable appliance "for your health"

the idea is micro-to-macro scalable; you can start with one in your childs room, and the move it to the patio or the garage.

the units themselves are designed to run for 100+ years -- and you can either connect to our cloud or run your own on some commodity hardware (like a raspberry pi).

if the yields go up; with year round growing cycles and cloning mature plants it won't take a ton of vertical space.

This was already this century.

Americans seem to have a very strange notion of what children can do at what ages. Kids at age 8 can reasonably go to and from school if it's close enough. This of course relies on living in a walkable area and I guess that's partially where the problem starts in the US. Parents got used to the idea that kids need to be transported by car or a specific, restricted-use school bus, leaving no freedom or agency for the children. Yes, growing up involves making mistakes, doing mischief, testing boundaries, learning what it is like to lie, feeling what a resulting bad conscience feels like, what a secret feels like etc. Yes, it may mean that the kid may skip a class or go somewhere they are not supposed to, but usually these aren't life shaking mistakes, unless there are deeper problems at home and with the parental environment.

My understanding was that you would vet open source contributors so they can support their own stuff. So looking at GitHub, commits, etc.

Otherwise your platform is really a way for random people to get money (nothing wrong with that) while the actual maintainers are busy writing code, reviewing tickets, etc.

I know monetizing open source is terribly difficult so I don't want to sound too negative.

> We just need _better_ right now, we need momentum.

Agreed. But we shouldn't be relying on local governments to provide that momentum. I think the people in the best position to legitimize improved voting systems are the pollsters. If they allowed the people they poll to rank or rate all the candidates, in the Democratic primary for example, for whom they have an opinion, then I'm pretty sure the political media (always desperate to fill air-time right?) would start reporting how the candidates would be fairing under different voting systems (that more accurately reflect their inherent popularity). Once these voting systems become familiar in their media, I think the public would be much more ready to accept them at the ballot box.
Why Adam Neumann is getting $1.7B to leave WeWork?
Those are flawed studies, as different names is as much a class distinction as a racial one. Even if it were true, however, a white candidate will on average be better than a black candidate with the same resume, because the white candidate had to pass higher standards to get into the same university.

Overview: We see teams make two basic mistakes

1. An overly broad definition of their "circle of competence." When they narrow their focus to capabilities they can execute with distinction; they chase fewer opportunities that they are unlikely to win. In addition, their thinking shifts away from "everyone is a competitor," and they are able to partner with a broader set of players.

2. Looking at things as zero sum instead of win-win, not only with customers but also partners and even potential competitors. The key to success, especially in early markets, is co-creating value and taking a smaller share of a larger pie.
I completely agree. I recommend selling along the way. You may lose some upside, but you definitely lose some downside.

Unfortunately, WeWork employees aren’t given that choice. They are getting fired with underwater options while Adam makes billions. I wonder how he can rationalize this to himself.
