They don't have to prove that you remember the passphrases. They just have to show that the encrypted devices/partitions/whatever were in your custody at the time of encryption.

Then you have to (a) show why you weren't the one to encrypt the devices or (b) make a 5th Amendment argument about why you don't have to turn over the encryption key during which time you may be incarcerated. "I forgot" is generally not a valid defense.
Using a website would certainly constitute consideration in a legal sense. Assuming there’s some value to the content of the website then that’s consideration.

I still agree with the author that posting something in public and then saying you’ve agreed to a contract by looking at it is not good policy.
Huh? Legitimate concern can not be voiced in a humorous and combative way? I think the families of the 347 lives lost would like to have a few words. If ‘inappropriate’ words can bring back their loved one, I’m sure the current Boeing management will be buried under verbal abuse.
For myself, and where I am, I know this clause to be non-binding. And it in fact invalidates the entire agreement because it tries to enforce something that is not considered to be legal (forced arbitration). (Some places may only invalidate that particular section, however the precedent here is an invalidation of the entire contract).

I don't really have any interest in going down that particular road, but that's one of the hiccups these sorts of contracts hit when faced with real world legalities.

The WIRED article that Verge references points out a few ways where securitized debt could provide perverse incentives, particularly in terms of cost/quality of the teaching:

https://www.wired.com/story/how-we-learn-lambda-income-shari...

> Still, that points to a more complicated “incentive alignment” than is often described. Deference to outside investors might encourage a school to issue lots of ISAs and keep instructional costs low, for example, betting high margins on a few successful students will subsidize the other agreements, says Julie Margetta Morgan, a fellow at the Roosevelt Institute who studies student debt. That’s especially true if it proves difficult to link students with jobs. But Allred insists the incentive structure that aligns the interests of individual students with the school’s isn’t broken. “We still hold the bulk of the risk,” he says. Allred doesn’t tell staff which student’s contracts have been financed.

That said, I don’t know enough to think that CDOs in themselves are bad, or in any way unusual or suspect. But Lambda and Edly refusing to comment and taking down pages about the CDOs and investments, as DHH tweets about them, makes me very confused and suspicious.

Just to be clear, the loop isn't explicit in a desktop toolkit either. You do not poll for events, and the toolkit handles the "redraw anything that needs it". So for example, in GTKmm (the C++ wrapper for GTK+), the event loop looks like:

Gtk::Main app;
...
app.run ();

> required by law to build into their hardware ways for authorities to access the networks for lawful purposes

A bit of a tangent but ...

How I hate this term "lawful purposes". It's a non-sequitor / dark pattern deployed to confuse consumers into not understanding that they mean "spy on you". "Lawful" just means compliant with the law. In other words, they are are NOT saying "necessary to enforce the law" which is what they want you to think. They are only saying, hey, we won't break the law when we use this feature, aren't we great? Like breaking the law would ever be OK and as if this disclaimer somehow adds any sort of reassurance. The implied logic is "normally we would just break the law to access your data but in this special case we'll follow it.

My philosophy is that if a company really wanted to know what I thought, they'd have asked me before finding out I was leaving.

Professionally, there is no upside to candor in exit interviews, and I'd advise ducking them entirely. If your manager really wants to know, they can buy you a few beers once you've been gone a month or six.
I'd say the complexity has increased, the requirements are not well defined and the schedules are tight.
> Also of course the Navy doesn't repair all of it's own ships :)

I can think of two systems with obvious benefits:

1. The Navy repairs its own ships. The big benefits here are that you don't have to let anyone else access -- or see -- the ships, and you can perform repairs in the field to the extent that's possible. (For replacing nuts, it's certainly possible.) This requires two types of training: knowledge of the ship's specifications, and skill in performing repairs.

2. The manufacturer repairs the ships. This makes it a lot more difficult to receive repair, but it has similar secrecy benefits, and the manufacturer is well positioned to know how to repair the ship and what is or isn't important. You don't need to train anybody in anything as long as you have perfect, total confidence in the manufacturer.

The Navy here picked the option of having the ship repaired in random foreign shipyards where nobody knew the specs. That's a compromise that advantages ease of getting repairs -- but you lose out on the idea that the person performing repairs knows what constitutes good working order and what doesn't. I struggle to see the advantages; you get more ease of repair and more reliability by doing it yourself.

I'm not sure what evidence you have for this, but I'll provide my own: I run over 30 mail servers on normal ISP links. I can categorically state that's not a problem.

FWIW, I agree was a problem years ago. I suspect it isn't now because ISP's can not longer say what an IP Address is used for, or maybe it's because the DU in that RBL's name stands for Dial Up and this is 2020, not 1999. There is one caveat: you do have to get the DNS PTR records set up.
If you store data in something like AWS S3, "redundancy" and "backup" is handled by AWS. And scalability is a moot point if a single box can handle your load.

When a single box cannot handle your load, you start one more, and then you start worrying about scalability.

(Of course, YMMV, I guess there are cases where "one box" -> "two boxes" requires an enormous quantum jump, like transactional DB. For everything else, there's a box.)
I did some work with a Design Anthropologist a while ago, in that field a Mental Model was used to describe how particular people think, and that was used to help solve their problems. That seems like a good use of the term.

I thank Tim for all his contributions to gaming and 3D technology but I'm not inclined to listen to this kind of nonsense without a solution to the specific problem he's addressing. Yes, there's financial incentive for Google and Apple to have closed store ecosystems but, for the majority of people, those closed, walled gardens are worth it. Tech savvy people do not make up the majority of customers and I think he's being extremely disingenuous to suggest that most users would want to be able to toss away the convenience of these App Stores in exchange for being able to install Fortnite directly from Epic. He only wants that because then he doesn't have to lose money to those companies to do so.

I'm going to quote myself from 2012 [1]:

This being about the forced login requirement. I said then and stand by it now that there is limited upside in Q&A sites.

We saw this with ExpertSexChange years before. At first some quality content but ultimately the only growth is from low-value content, SEO, dark UX patterns (eg hiding answers, requiring logins, putting answers after a long set of ads) all for something that just isn't that special.

Stackoverflow did an admirable job of organizing technical answers but ultimately Google remains their primary source of traffic (~90% was the last figure I heard) and by publishing their answers with a Creative Commons License (a move I applaud) they've insured the community against a later management change that would otherwise decide to enact those same dark patterns as the only viable growth path.

And yes I know there's Stack Exchange but none of those sites has hit similar success to SO.

As for this post about Quora's attempt to force binding individual arbitration on users, the first comment I have is of course I'm not surprised. The second is that IANAL but this this isn't a contract, it's an updated Terms of Service. That being said, I'm pretty sure this isn't necessarily legal in all (any?) North American jurisdictions and even where that question is unknown it probably just hasn't been tested in court yet.

I was going to say that Quora is based in California and CA has generally been pretty user-friendly here but that may not exactly be true. A couple of things I found:

- California law (specifically the California Arbitration Act or CAA) may be preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"). There's a pending case in Federal Court where a stay has been issued against CAA pending that trial. It's not clear to me (being NAL) if this is specific to certain areas (eg employment, construction) or general and whether it applies to updated ToS;

- A California court upheld an arbitration clause in clickwrap ToS on an app as of October 2019 [2]

My main takeaway however is I don't care about Quora, I've never cared about Quora, I don't understand why anyone cares about Quora, I've never posted to Quora and I've never understood why anyone else posted or continues to post to Quora so this has net zero effect on me.

Quora wasn't (IMHO) relevant in 2012 and is less relevant now. These are the moves of a company in its death throes. Ok, bye.

It's obviously highly dependent on the domain in which you work, but I would consider what you're saying to be a "business transaction" more than a "database transaction". If there is a 1:1 between the two then your way works. I tend to have situations where one business transaction is multiple database transactions. And the business transaction can succeed even if some of the underlying database transactions were to fail.
