How to Check the Quality of Leads
Whenever you’re trying to check the quality of the leads, it is important for you to understand how to do so. Without checking the quality of the leads, there is no point in buying the leads. http://bit.ly/2raJ8xT

It is wise to point that out; running an old OS on old equipment or in a VM is perfectly viable, but one should NEVER connect those machines to the open Internet.
.. and that's the reason why I think there should be a well-functioning and regulated market for these kinds of things. Magnets, homeopathic remedies, chiropractors, etc.

As long as there is regulation preventing manufacturers and practicioners from claiming they can cure cancer/etc., and the remedies do not have any harmful side effects, why on earth should we leave a treatment as powerful as placebo off the table?

GP here has significantly reduced his painkiller intake and reduced chronic pain by putting some magnets on his feet. That is without doubt a strong net positive outcome. Why do we mock it?
Better place them all into internment camps. Just in case.
It just worked, I tried most of the other solutions at the time and they were terrible.

"Gamrith" comments in Tagesspiegel, and I think (s)he makes an accurate analysis of judicial behaviour which applies not only to Berlin and not only to Germany.

The problem lies in the way the judiciary sees itself and its work, and not just in Berlin. Every time you come to the judges and prosecutors with the subject of IT security and the associated user care obligations, they wave the Constitution and refer to the judiciary independence. Every time you point out that old applications have to be replaced, it is pointed out that changes in form and procedures can neither be desired nor tolerated by the employees.

IT is not a core competence of the administration, and especially not the judiciary with its absolutely obsolete professional mindset. In particular, one does not really understand that as a part of an integrated system in which the user and the applications work together, they also have duties that they must perform. They always point at the IT or IT service providers, and shy away from responsibility.

AULAK is not the only critical specialist procedure in the Berlin judiciary that needs to be renewed. However, the judiciary shies away from the costs and expenses that one would have to invest here. In particular, in such projects, any judges and prosecutors are "voluntarily" ordered as project managers, and staff who have no idea or real interest in the subject would just like to implement existing paper-based processes 1:1 in software. That the IT offers other possibilities is then always dismissed with the reference to the "laws".

Smentek and the ITDZ are not collecting any prestige from their role in the process, but the plight of the Supreme Court is homemade and is mainly due to the inability of the judiciary to renew.

You can rest assured that we did not, I have zero doubt that if there ever was another war at that scale we'd have internment camps for nationals of the enemy before the end of that war.

> "canary" means a set of basic automated integration tests that are continually running in production with alarms that feed into a master aggregate "switch". Wether the dedicated canary accounts end up hitting a one-box prod host or real prod host in the end isn't a factor.

this sounds roughly like synthetic monitoring:

synthetic in the sense of synthetic traffic, since it isn't traffic from genuine users.

Can you go into more detail about what is meant by this:

> alarms that feed into a master aggregate "switch"

what is the master aggregate "switch" ? what does it do?
Yes, thank you. (Past edit window.)

> "Now the problem is "Productivity" is stagnating since the 80's"

This is the exact opposite of what your chart shows. Productivity, in the economic sense, is growing since the 1980s. It's wages that have stagnated. The wealth generated by increased productivity is all flowing to top.

Dalio recognizes this: "Increased productivity will also substantially increase the wealth gap." He knows this trend is not sustainable.

I on the other hand think that splitting countries into allies and enemies is stupid. China is a huge country, and excluding a billion people from your company just because their government does questionable things sounds like a pretty bad idea.

If you are really concerned about the confidentiality of your data, don't store it unencrypted in some SaaS where every customer service rep has full access to all your data. At that point you're already so vulnerable that exluding potenential employees from a whole country is just pointless security theater that some suit with an MBA thought up to justify his position.
One may call it stupid, but such a system, particularly collecting the membership dues for the Lutheran protestant churches, is in place in very many of the most-advanced nations in the world with highest rankings of human development, press freedom, strong welfare state, good public health and so on.

Is that a coincidence? I think it is not, although it is obvious that the mechanism doesn't work like "start collecting membership dues for Lutherans and you'll have a great welfare state". Rather, it's the current outcome of a long historical development.
You of course also should not drive when you're tired. Case in point: I'm cycling today because I did not sleep enough last night, conscious decision on my part not to drive.

To me you sound very much as though you are justifying your own behavior.

People will leave the mundane and repetitive to automation and focus on what they find truly fulfilling, utilizing "creative intelligence".

Creative intelligence involves always striving for the new thoughts, fresh ideas, novel ways to solve problems....repetition makes people mentally weak and depressed.

Many of the problems we discuss today about humans in the era of automation have already been addressed in ancient Indian philosophy (many millennia ago). This isn't new....

There have been many many attempts at micropayments. But it probably needs one of the big guys to get it to the right level of scale. And is it in their interest? Or if they take a micro % of a micropayment, is that enough for them?

Countdown to the first comment that starts with "all you need is a blockchain". 3-2-1.......
I think you are confusing them having something against Russia(gov) with Russians(people).
They also clearly state that current employees will not be affected. Reading the motivation behind it and the possible dangers it would pose to their clients.
I think it's very reasonable not to continue having sensitive data be available in Rus & Chi.

What would you do in this case?

This must be some new use of the word "simple" I was previously unaware of.
Contrarian opinion/question: Out of the software developers reading the comments here: Who is offering an op-out (much less an opt-in into) from their crash reporting solution they have included in their software?

And of those who do actually offer an op-out: Who is annoyed about not being able to debug an issue because the crash they know is happening only seems to be happening on clients who have opted out?

And my second question to all the non-developers out there: Who here is annoyed about crashes on their machine that "never seem to get fixed" as if the vendor "didn't care about getting crashes fixed" in software that offered and explicit opt-in and they didn't opt into "spying" by the vendor? Who remembers not opting in and remembers to rectify that when the crash happens?

It's very easy to stand on the hill of righteousness and yell at a vendor implementing crash reporting, but before doing so ask yourself: Are you collecting crash reports? Do you wish you had crash reports? Are you unhappy about crashes on your machine not being fixed?

If any of those are true, then you better not complain about a vendor adding crash reporting to their products.

Do I think this should be opt-outable? Of course. Do I think crash reporting needs to be opt-in? No. Absolutely not because next to nobody will opt in and when crashes happen, nobody will remember their decision.

Without calculator how would one calculate things in places like Zimbabwe or any Mom-Pop place where there are no computers.

Apart from building 'trust', calculator plays important job of communication - people in places like Zambia probably do not know how to write in numbers in English (or are not very fluent) and also probably do not know how to say the numbers in English.

Being traders however they would recognize numbers readily, so they communicate via calculator by punching out the numbers. That is, calculator is used even when there is no calculation involved.

But APs are not limited to internet traffic.

Maybe some company somewhere runs an internal server, and because it's internal they might think that encryption is not needed. Hell, it might even use GET arguments for username/passwords in the URL.

The crash dumps would contain these data as well.
This is a little ridiculous, and it sounds like anything they could have done would have lost your business (not that they lost your business - they never had it in the first case). They made a decision, and rolled back on it almost immediately.
I recall this being researched in the 1970s. The calculators had to be off by a factor of 2 before people became suspicious.

No this isn't generally true for Python, and I'm not sure why you'd be forced to use Cython for things at scale. Unless you have some particular type of software in mind perhaps?

You say that, but an awful lot of people doing maths in industry are physicists - mathematicians are far more likely to stay in academia. One of my first jobs was writing trading algorithms in the early 2000s - I was a physics student, most of the dev team were physicists or chemists. We got a mathematician in to consult on some gnarly cluster analysis - but after a month he presented us a white paper that was very, very pretty, and described our problem mathematically very succinctly - but totally unusable as it wasn’t so much a solution as a beautifully defined problem.
Comments like this, especially when someone in the thread has already asked for alternatives, isn't particularly useful. On the contrary, it is the coward's approach of shutting down other people position but not be willing to stake out one of your own to likewise be subject to scrutiny.
It's written in Chinese. Basically a lorem ipsum generator.
One of my favorite classes with Bjarne from college was Bjarne telling us the story of a ten year-old who wrote him asking if it was too late to start programming and what he should learn so he can work as a programmer (to get started so he could be one of the best in the world at something in the field).

Bjarne says he responded by telling the kid to stop worrying about work or what he wanted to work as, and to spend time playing (both on the computer and just outside) because it was just as good as good for the mind as sitting in front of the computer and that ten year-olds could often be the best in the world at playing.

Similar to his penchant for fiction here, this is something I’ve always loved about Bjarne... despite being so good at one thing: finding the beauty in balance.
This is not an Electron issue as Apple has deprecated these APIs and the issues go back for the past few years worth of Electron releases. We just bumped our Electron version from 4.0.5 to 6.0.12 and we just needed to add a single line of code.
having lived in those times i cannot believe that comments such as yours exist.

things were Horrible. i had relatives who were killed in the streets because they didn't aspire to the latest communist trend. and no travelling outside the country, or even outside your city in some circumstances. at least not without being part of the party.

what about food? queue for 2 hours for a pint of milk, and meat only once per month because the party doesn't want to be indebted to capitalist countries.

the famine and the pain that the communists brought is in a different world than the massive opportunities that we have today (and food, food is available everywhere now).

i guess this teaches us something very important: history needs to be taught since the first school years.

>This is simply not true. Opt in is only one of many ways to be compliant with GDPR covered data.

And yet, Article 32 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELE... the GDPR states:

Silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity should not therefore constitute consent.
Consent should cover all processing activities carried out for the same purpose or purposes.
When the processing has multiple purposes, consent should be given for all of them.
If the data subject's consent is to be given following a request by electronic means,
the request must be clear, concise and not unnecessarily disruptive to the use of the service for which it is provided.

It is of course also possible that UBNT is fully GDPR compliant if they can guarantee that the don't send PII. The problem is we don't know.

It's immoral to discriminate on the basis of fear, prejudice, and rumor.

One client can demand that Gitlab get rid of Chinese and Russian nationals today. Tomorrow, a different client can make similar demands - aimed at the nationals of different countries. This makes no sense whatsoever, and will blow out of control quickly.

Sanction programs are the established legal frameworks for such things: https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/programs/...

It's disappointing to see the promise of some money making the company go full 180 on its hiring and employment procedures - going as-far as potentially rescinding one employee's offer, and flagging another employee's personal choice to live in a different country as a risk.

The due process here is concerning. Some techbro starts by creating a "we need to block all Russian/Chinese" issue - followed by a bunch of echo-chamber "yessir" comments. When a legal advisor steps in - everyone tries to silence her and convince her it's just an "iterative process".

Finally - it actually looks like Gitlab's security practices are truly lacking. That an employee is Chinese/Russian shouldn't be a consideration - the systems should be tight enough to make sure absolutely no-one has access to customer data without consent - and that any actions taken are logged for auditing. Whenever necessary - pass your employees through a background-check. In sensitive (government) scenarios - restrict to employees with government clearance.

Honest question: Is Gitlab now a company not in a position to say "no"? Investors and potential customers need to know.
I do not understand how somebody at UBNT thinks the data is worth the hassle. They are taking a reputation hit, risking getting PII and getting rolled over by the GDPR steamroller, angering some of their best customers (corporations with strict security rules). What for? Is the crash data really so valuable? Do they intend to pore over every report with dedicated manpower? (they really should if it matters so much).

I would say they should first get their basic support to work in a top-notch manner, carefully reading, thinking about, and responding to every bug report. Then get into automated data collection, and then ASK FOR USER CONSENT. This isn't difficult. No "opt-out" crap or corporate lingo, TELL ME CLEARLY WHAT YOU NEED, WHY YOU NEED IT, AND ASK ME IF I AGREE.

> Sure you can use it as two tier if that does the job but it does not mean you are forced to ...

The project home page declares this to be its raison d'être.

> ... you can very well have logic in the proxy layer and then have logic below the db layer ...

Why have a "proxy layer" to "then have logic below the db layer"? Why not just let PostgreSQL manage the data and have...

wait for it...

A system which defines the application logic? I mean, that is what you described in a roundabout way.

> If i apply the same logic (two tier bad) that i can say every other way of building an api is two tier since you have the frontend and then the rest of the code in php/node... the db would not really count as a later since in those scenatios ppl use it as a dumb store

No, what you describe as "an api" (which assumes an external client that interacts with it) and "then the rest of the code" (which is colloquially known as application logic) using PostgreSQL (what you call "a dumb store"), is known in the industry as a "three-tiered system."

Not a "two-tiered" system.

This is because there are three significant actors involved in system operations:

1 - something that requests the service provided (browser, phone, desktop binary, etc.).

2 - something that provides the service (application logic).

3 - something that persists relevant state as determined by #2.

See what happened there?

Three distinct things; a client, something that does stuff, and something that stores stuff.
