Cynical me who moved to and from SF (lived there for a year) and walked Market street everyday worries about this as well. SF does not seem to have the political will to really deal with this issue. Measures such as increased street cleaning and feces remediation have done little to improve the experience of walking on certain parts of Market (at least in my time when I saw new efforts go into effect).

Been there done that. Corporate IT often doesn't want to acknowledge that devs exist in the company because it's so much easier to just lock down the admin and marketing use cases.

It's fucking scary how far they're willing compromise security internally and externally to avoid extra work and maintain control.

Yes, they should. If nobody else does, they're the last in line and they should remain ethical.

"Nobody else stopped the feature" is NOT AN EXCUSE.
It doesn't. Once film is fixed it's insensitive to further radiation, by design. Light is just radiation at a different wavelength from x-ray, if the fixing didn't work then the negative would fade out very quickly from ordinary light.

Yes, at some scale, if you put it in the jet of a black hole the radiation is going to destroy the image from physically blasting it off. That's not a reasonable concern to raise about film stability. Having your developed negatives x-rayed will not harm them, full stop.

The exception is that you shouldn't project slides for days and days on end, because the color couplers aren't as stable as grandpa's black and white negatives and do fade out eventually. Early color negative films had some problems too and would fade out over time regardless of radiation. But still, flying with a developed slide is not a problem, we are talking about the difference between a few mw of energy and sticking it right next to a 200W projector bulb.
They're talking exclusively about web browsing, though. There's more to net access than the web.

Personally, I just always use a VPN (and a firewall to ensure that no traffic flows except through the VPN). Then I don't have to worry as much.

We have the same problem in Boston. There is no one traffic enforcement division for the BPD, and it instead done on a district-by-district basis, often being tasked to just one or two officers [1]. We, too, have plenty of bus-only lanes where the red paint has completely faded, and they are back to general purpose lanes. One of my favorite examples you can clearly see the faded red paint, "bus only" signs, yet plenty of regular cars on Google Streetview [2].

As someone who lives and walks to work in downtown Boston, it is also a cultural issue. During rush hour, there is effectively no such thing as a moving violation. I walk through some of the busiest intersections on a daily basis, and just about every single time, some traffic law is broken.

No right on red is a complete joke. People will actually honk at you if you are stopped at a red light with a "no right on red" sign. Don't block the box? If you don't block the box, traffic coming from the other way will, and you won't make it through the _next_ light cycle. Red lights are just a suggestion at many intersections, with 2, even 3 cars running through _after_ the light has turned.

The joke I always say is that if BPD enforced all moving violations for just one day downtown, they'd raise enough revenue to fund another Big Dig. Not true, of course, because even the cops themselves don't follow the traffic laws. Why should they?

> Fun todo: Install this somewhere, nmap it for open ports, then ask "How many of these services had a remotely exploitable CVE in the last year?" "If one of these services had one tomorrow, would I know to patch it and take action faster than someone would takeover my box?" I don't see any containment mechanisms on any of these services beyond what's included by default so a compromise of one service likely leads to total compromise of the entire box.

This is the same concern I have with self-hosting anything with sensitive personal information on it. Without continuous monitoring, alerts and periodic review of audit trails, it’s anybody’s guess what’s going on with all the self-hosters’ data. With larger companies that provide a SaaS solution, there’s a little more hope that someone is looking at this seriously all the time.
True, but doing so on a private network would still be a whole lot safer than on an open AP.

Or we could fix the tax code so that avoiding taxation is simply not possible instead of hoping that altruistic policies will be enacted to help the working class.

What is interesting is that despite their prediction of half the population living in 8 states, their prediction is that half of those states will have either lost population or have gained less than 200,000 people within the next 20 years (Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan)!

Edit, I am sorry, but I misinterpreted. The 4 states I mentioned are in their prediction of the 10 states with the highest population. Only Pennsylvania and Illinois are predicted to be among the 8 most populous states.

Just get cameras. I don't know why this isn't done anywhere else, but in DC, cops won't pull you over for a moving violation (and I'm glad they don't) but the cameras will get you if you're running red lights or not yielding on right on red.
Which, if my experience pentesting is any indication, most people will.
I think like many other terms like 'cloud', 'private', 'start up' there is a lot of gray area :). It's up to you where you draw the line. For me, self-hosting means running software in a manner where I have control of the data/application code and the server. With that definition, running software on EC2/DO/Linode is self-hosting. When I self-host using these servers, I know what the server is running and where the data resides.

Also, I think there are other similar popular terms. For those who run in their own premises, the term is on-premise. For those running it home, usually they call it home lab/NAS/home server. Self-hosting to me encompasses all this.

Also, self-hosting doesn't necessarily mean just open source. There are some amazing closed apps out there that you can self-host - emby, confluence, teamspeak to name a few.

Private auto traffic on Market St. has always been marginal; the vast majority of the steel cages to contend with as a bicyclist are buses. There is no big dramatic transformation here. There will be in later phases of the project when bikes finally get separation from buses.
Also, consider the huge profits to be made from automating policing! People are already accustomed to redlight cameras, so it won't be weird to start ticketing them for other things. They did break the law, after all. If we just install cameras in all public thoroughfares, where people don't have privacy assumptions, we could easily use facial recognition to automatically punish aberrant behavior.

Big money -- and we make the city safer by catching criminals. Win win!

Exactly, and if they have enough volume, they can really nail down any lingering bugs or problems in the chipsets or firmware and it turns into a rock-solid system. Anything else and the manufacturer (Lenovo, Dell, HP) lose money on their support costs.

If I was responsible for buying workstations for an office, I would definitely choose a standard business configuration over building it myself. If I expected those workstations to be running Linux, I would definitely attempt to buy one that was designed to work well with Linux for the same reasons.

Note: This is also why some companies buy Dell/Lenovo/HP servers even though they cost more. Support. The components are all very well tested together, and any bug you encounter you can expect other people to have encountered and complained about as well, and hopefully should have a fix on the way (or already available through a firmware upgrade). I've also heard this is why Dell drives cost so much. They make sure to have stock around for you years later in case you need replacements, so you can replace with the exact same drive model.
OpenSK: a fully open-source security key implementation
And therefore can be treated just like any other Rust code.

I can use frameworks in my build script (lol at the idea of using makefile frameworks).

And I can also build up on these. Like your build script really just invokes other dependencies' build scripts. So I never really care about integrating some low-level dependency. This might work with other build systems in theory but never in practice.

Maybe I generate some assets during compile time and really want to cache these. I can legit just add some sort of disk cache framework to my build script and just serialize the paths and then load that up on recompilation instead of regenerating things.

I am getting an aneurysm just from thinking about doing this in makefiles.
An interesting thing I learned a while back that surprised me was that in the days before cars, death rates from accidents involving horses and horse drawn vehicles where similar to the death rates in our time from car accidents [1] [2] [3]. Horses were also quite polluting.

Ishikawa diagrams (aka Fishbone diagrams) aren't always the right tool to use, (see other comments) but when they are useful, they are very useful. I'd never used them before my time at Lenovo, and while I was there I gained a considerable appreciation for their utility. Note that I consider the bulk of that utility to be in communicating to upper management. They are useful in and of themselves, but only at a certain level of detail.

I also came to appreciate using WBS diagrams (Work Breakdown Structure) for pretty much the same reason(s) and largely with the same constraints.
It has nothing to do with sex appeal. A prop plane used for CAS/COIN will siphon funds away from the F-35. That's fine, as long as you don't need to engage in combat with a near peer competitor like China/Russia etc. Planes like the Tucano (and the A-10) will NOT survive against a modern AD. Nor will Apache etc; witness the performance of the Apache when used in 2003. When assaulting the Republican Guard positions at Karbala (with rudimentary AD), the Apaches suffered an incredible amount of casualties:

"Of the 29 returning Apaches, all but one suffered serious damage. On average, each Apache had 15-20 bullet holes. One Apache took 29 hits. Sixteen main rotor blades, six tail blades, six engines, and five drive shafts were damaged beyond repair. In one squadron only a single helicopter was fit to fly. It took a month until the 11th Regiment was ready to fight again. The casualties sustained by the Apaches induced a change of tactics by placing significant restrictions on their use.[11] Attack helicopters would henceforth be used to reveal the location of enemy troops, allowing them to be destroyed by artillery and air strikes.[3]"

I don't have raw numbers, but last I checked the cost estimates of maintaining these aircraft over the long term is still projected to be cheaper than the alternative.

Some of the aircraft flown by the USAF and the US Navy have higher annual operational costs than the sticker price of those same aircraft. The F-35 is an attempt to avoid repeating the same mistakes, but obviously, easier said than done.
>I was just in Kansas, and all I saw were people that would benefit massively from Liberal/Democratic policies, and yet vote against their best interest Every. Single. Time.

It's easy to feel that way if you don't understand what is really important to that particular vein of person.

Adversity can be lived and reckoned with as long as there is safety, and overarching stability. People want to be part of something they can be proud of, and that they overcome difficult circumstances makes it all the sweeter. Most importantly though, people just want to be not-interfered with.

When your ostensibly Liberal party has some fiscally attractive ideas, but undermines the very traditional "heart and soul" of the overarching culture, you're going to have a very hard sell. Especially when the other party can sit back and say, "If not for us, they'd have destroyed the American dream, and turned it into a government operated nightmare." Which despite many admirable liberal causes, from the behavior of the political machine elsewhere finds a sizable portion of the populations agreeing with the other side.

Give up on the moral crusade on firearms, get off the Wall Street teat, refocus efforts on organizing and reempowering labor, actually focus on fiscal stability by putting entitlements on a back burner and revamp some of the more fundamental ways our economy is malfunctioning. Use the anti-trust hammer, hold large regional monopolies accountable and make it hurt when they don't deliver. Do something to thwart the problematic forms of financial engineering (private equity abuses, short-term gains over long-term stability, predatory financial products), and for the love of God, get healthcare sorted, and simplify/deantagonize the mechanics of taxation. Shift funding to Research and Education, simplify and raise awareness of ways of civic participation, and maybe consider whether or not some environmental issues can be tackled by the of establishment of Public Works programs.

If anything has stood out to me about the difference between my current generation, and my grandparent's it is that nowadays a civicly minded individual would be hard pressed to be able to actually make a living improving their community.

Funding is trapped in a Market driven by chasing the latest international money making hype scheme rather than actually getting physical labor/goods production done. The service/rent seeking/consumerist paradigm is death and stagnation incarnate. No one is enabled by forced dependence on someone else.

At least, that seems to be the vibe I've picked up on from the Midwest states I've frequented... Which I'll be the first to admit isn't that extensive.
