The fact that the upstream HN comment has to explain two identical-sounding options that do different things should help you see what's wrong with the current impl. Your steps don't work with the "Open With -> Options" context menu like they point out, but rather only with the "Get Info -> Open With" options. Not the best UX.

For example, I can imagine if there were instead two radio buttons in "Open With": "Always for this file", "Always for this extension". All in one place.

"Also, many ways Germany had the inferior war technology and progress: encryption. nuclear. "

But superior in conventional warfare at the beginning of WW2.
Stukas, tanks and infanterie well (radio) coordinated.

MG42, the basemodel is still in use as MG3 today

Also later: ME262 (first jet engine), STG44 (first assault rifle), V1 and V2 (rockets)

So given the size, german wartechnology was very advanced.

But it was because this was the sole focus of the ruling nazi party: war tech.

Basic university research is about anything and mostly civilian and the nazis were no academics: they cared about war technology and "scientific" proof, that the aryans are superior. So they did not feel the loss of the fleeing jewish based intellectuals so hard.

"And all that from a country that led the world in science and engineering before WWII."

I completely agree with you on Andrew Yang. I don’t think UBI works in practice but he is the only candidate realistically talking about underlying problems instead of just symptoms.

I’d probably go for Yang too, but it would be a near impossibility for him to win the nomination. I’d love to see him as a VP pick but he doesn’t really bring the “votes” that a typical VP candidate would. At the very least, I hope he’s offered some type of cabinet position (ideally heading up a new Department of Technology).

These are not mutually exclusive.

When presented with the opportunity to do either insider trading (and easily getting away with it) or paying for novel research, which will most managers choose? Why not choose both?

You hardly need this one person's data point. The massive success of passive investing is all the evidence anyone needs.

(I also worked in Wall Street just before and during the financial crisis, and my experience is consistent with the industry being more fraud than not fraud. I absolutely am not implying that you yourself didn't produce value or that no one is honest, but value/honesty are not the norm.)

> People makes shitload of money working on shitty problem

I think this conveniently ignores the YC companies working in more meaningful spaces (e.g., healthcare, renewables, etc).

That said, you have a point. Ultimately, it appears the deciding factor for YC funding is growth potential, which is by no means guaranteed to align with the public good (assuming some reasonable consensus about what that is).

For that matter, though, you could level the same criticism against the broader economic model YC operates within. Anyone arguing either distributes resources with unbeatable efficiency probably has an impoverished definition of "efficient" or an axe to grind, whether they're aware of it or not.
But how do you handle people that take offense to honesty?
I'm not as cynical as that guy. I don't think quants are a "scam" or whatever. However, I do think the the top funds represent survivorship bias. Everybody's a top fund, until they aren't. As for RenTech, the fact that Simons stepped down in 2008 says maybe things weren't all so rosy behind closed doors.
Wow, that talk on silicon implants was super interesting.

I commend him for continuing in this quest for trustable hardware. I more or less gave it up. I fear it wont be really possible until the tech has moved so far that we can produce silicon and PCB at home on open hardware machines...
Ugh the "velocity" one really hits home. A couple of jobs ago one of our project managers was constantly showing burn down charts (which, of course, never burned down); along with our "velocity". The funny thing is, because we were doing t-shirt-size/fibonacci, our velocity numbers varied so wildly that it was essentially a random number generator. Then we were required fit all our stories within a "budget" of our "average" velocity.. What are you supposed to do with the average of a random number between 0 and 200? Apparently a lot, because these insane numbers that had no actual tie to reality were used to determine how much we were allowed to "commit" to. Never mind that some months we'd finish 50 story points and some months 250 (because, again, the numbers were a fiction); we were always trying to fit things into 90 story points.

Luckily all this useless theater only took up an entire day every two weeks. If you assume everyone on the team was making about $50 an hour, and it was about 6-8 people in attendance to these things, then it came out that this very dumb "estimation" process took 6 people * $50/hr * 6 hours... so about 1800 dollars. (Not including the project managers salary, which given that he drove around a very fancy luxury car, was probably a lot more than the rest of us).

And people wonder why I don't take scrum seriously.

Why it worked for you: "computer programmer"

There was a decent chance to get that success without college.

Meanwhile, what of the others who go to college? Most are not computer programmers. Lots of people get a BA in psychology, criminal justice, early childhood education, music, sociology, Spanish, drama, anthropology, journalism, or art history. These people seldom find success.
Like virtually every other attempt at predicting future events in complex systems, equity analysts -- even very knowledgeable, hard-working, well-connected, experienced ones -- are mostly just guessing.

Not much different than ESPN's former coaches and players -- smart, successful, domain experts -- whose sports predictions are not much better than random chance.

If they are too young to do it themselves, then I'm not sure if they would care if there is a wrinkle in their slacks.

And, I've seen parents do all sorts of time-suck things that would be actually teaching kids self sufficiency, but instead the parents are losing their own time and handicapping their children. E.g. a friends mom in high school would still clean her room, and now - no surprise, 15 years later she lives in a pig sty except for the few times a mom visits her apartment and gives it a deep clean. Maybe some patronizing advice like "make your kid clean their own room" would have helped.

I'd like to offer a dissenting point of view on some of this.

I roll out of bed, put on comfy pants, and shamble over to my work/ gaming pc. When I get hungry I go cook something. When I need to think through a problem I go clean the house, do dishes, or lay back in a comfy chair and think. If I need to get something done around the house or run an errand, I just go do it. If I need a nap, I take one. I do try to get up at 8AM and stop at 4:30PM consistently (mostly to be available for calls), but sometimes I get carried away when no one is home and work into the night or through the weekend (guaranteed time with no interruptions).

I'm probably about 4 times more productive working from home than from our office. It's very relaxing, I get some cleaning done, and I don't feel a strong need for much of the rigid structure you've described.

Spot on about socializing though. I live near our office and if I didn't have the option to pop in for a less productive but more social day, I would have to find something to fill that gap.

I think there are a few ways of owning an RV (probably applies to boats) -- weekend getaways, longer term travels and live-ins.

Weekend getaways are harder to make pay off.

I know one couple who took their RV around the United States. "we took two laps". I think they made some memories to last their whole life.

Folks who live in their RV just have to come close to a mortgage/rent to have it pay off.

I think it was a retired diplomat who was defending the highly criticized policy of offering retired dictators a comfortable and protected life in France. He was explaining that this was a condition to many peaceful transitions.

This is balanced by the desire to keep leaders accountable and is a compromise against the rule of law.

Saying that this applies to the US is really saying you have dictators who abuse their powers and are willing to bend the law in the name of a democratic transition.

It can be an exceptional temporary measure, but certainly not a sustainable norm.

Is it impossible even with effort or you no longer feel the effort is required and/or necessary?
There is a simpler explanation. Assuming our world is discrete, like a mathematical graph, every world state has one or a few next possible states. If we imagine all possible states from past and future linked together by causality links as a huge mathematical graph, any two states have a shortest path between them. The length of this path is what we perceive as time or as the speed of light. Same idea applies to chess: there is large, but finite, number of chess board states and they are linked by moves allowed by the chess rules; the number of moves on the shortest path connecting two positions is what we'd call the speed of light in chess.

That was a bush league SSRF that should have been caught by just about any static analysis tooling. That tells me something broke down early in the process.

That said, it's almost impossible to implement least privilege with EC2 instance roles unless you manage application identity in a separate control plane. Otherwise you have a single role that must satisfy the union of all access requirements for infrastructure automation, software deployment, logging, monitoring and discrete application runtime components. It's a mess and IMHO a terrible architecture.

The fact that the STS creds for that role are then made available via unauthenticated network service which then are by default active from any endpoint on the planet unless explicitly locked down is insanity. Furthermore, locking said roles down requires discrete references to VPC endpoints and CIDR ranges that are unique to individual regions and have to be able to breathe with the environment. This makes your IAM lockdown policies gnarly and volatile, not a good recipe for availability.

It's no mean feat to really prevent this kind of thing in a fast-moving environment. Defense in depth is essential.
I think so. The clients are all SOAP/UPnP, and there are lots of open source clients and API bindings. I could be wrong, though.

Sure, but new Sonos speakers are not that. They are a moderately okay speaker with wireless networking and control software that consumes an app-mediated digital byte stream, and then in the speaker decodes it to audio to perform playback.

If you want good speakers, you don't buy a device that's 50% streaming audio circuitry, you buy a same-priced speaker that's actually a good speaker.
Same here. The only way to get these kinds of asinine behavior to stop is to hurt them in their pocket book; since it's apparently the only thing they care about.
Brain injury from boxing and MMA: Can this be measured?
Cannot comment from my personal impressions, as I have almost zero knowledge of R, compared to several years of using Python for writing apps and working with data. I like R's focus on functional programming, though.

However, a couple of years ago, my wife tried to transition from business consulting to a data analytics / data science role. She started with taking an R course. She was put off by R's complexity and the course's early focus on the details of R syntax, function definitions, closures etc. and abandoned it.

The year after, she decided to try again and enrolled in a course that used Python (with numpy+pandas+scipy as data science stack) and she reported it to be much simpler, more intuitive and easier to learn compared to her previous experience with R. Now she has successfully completed the program and is employed as a data analyst.

Not one step exactly, but it is by far the easiest way to write least privilege IAM policies. Otherwise, it becomes impossible to ensure IAM policies are written securely and at scale. This way, all custom IAM policies are written with the exact same methodology.
Maybe, if the hangar is on a salty, wind-blown beach.
In solving this problem, I think there is no perfect solution right now, just steps in the good direction. Making attacks harder instead of just impossible.

The article is long so it is normal that many people did not read it to the end, which is a shame because I think the conclusion is really important:

"I personally regard Betrusted as more of an evolution toward — rather than an end to — the quest for verifiable, trustworthy hardware. I’ve struggled for years to distill the reasons why openness is insufficient to solve trust problems in hardware into a succinct set of principles. I’m also sure these principles will continue to evolve as we develop a better and more sophisticated understanding of the use cases, their threat models, and the tools available to address them."

It is a quest. It will be made of a lot of partial solutions. FPGA are just easier to inspect and their functions harder to backdoor if you don't know what they will run. Harder but by no means impossible. But at this stage if we can make things 50% harder in 50% of the cases, that's progress.

> Indeed but I’ve got my own theories about what’s happening here and I think it’s less to do with people being open to alternative suggestions and more about protectionism of the Apple brand.

FWIW, my take is that people who enjoy the Apple brand proposition (spend more, but you'll generally get a very high level of attention to detail and things will mostly just work) are pretty sick of people who enjoy tinkering telling them that they're idiots for buying Apple. This comment of yours kinda gets into that territory by suggesting that people are downvoting because they're upset about challenges to the Apple brand (which is a petty and childish motivation) rather than they just don't share your priorities.
