Anecdotal, but myself and two other people I know at two other places work "mostly remote," meaning commute once a week or less.

In each case, we started by commuting full time, and added remote days after some months. Also for all of us, we have a good number of co-workers that go into the office most days.

I found the same as you, in that looking for positions specifically billed as remote positions, the money is really not there.

What you describe sounds more like using PGP independently of email. I mean you could just as well put your secret data into a password-protected zip file and send that using a variety of methods.

But I do think op has a point that there are two groups of people using encrypted emails:

1. Nerds using it for fun where accidental de-encryption doesn't matter too much.

2. Non-technical people where decryption might be a life or death situation and so they imitate what the nerds do, because they don't know that the nerds willingly tolerate the decryption risk.

Op is now arguing that group 1 should stop so that group 2 doesn't get misled.
Okay.

But it's still a perfectly good counter to "no sane option".

You can imagine an association of neighbourhood coffee sellers lobbying to change the zoning laws to allow people to sell coffee from home. But that association is very difficult to form because - with those neighbourhood coffee sellers all being different companies - it would be seen as an antitrust violation.

I didn't say they work well. But they definitely work. And you can take an existing crappy partial solution like video lectures, and add support structures until you have something that in aggregate works as well as a university course. Plain vanilla MOOCs work well for a small minority, about 10% now, when no one cares at all about them. If you can't quadruple that by actually trying I'd be very surprised.
> I see the modern environmental movement as a continuation of western imperialism.

Western imperialism is/was heavily marked by the a.) colonization, b.) displacement of natives, and c.) exploitation of local natural resources of a region, often coupled with d.) literal enslavement of native peoples. Those local resources were exploited for global trade. So whatever this new environmental movement is, it certainly isn't that, because it is exactly opposite on all points a-d). In fact, modern environmentalism has so many hallmarks of anti-globalism, anti-trade, and anti-exploitation of natural resources, that I think this characterization is almost totally backwards and misses the real lessons of what imperialism meant.

Perhaps modern environmentalism is cultural hubris, and maybe even a tiny bit racist, but it is certainly not imperialism.
I like your interpretation. I'm going to choose it too. Thanks!

Hey, we at Volument (volument.com) are using Redis as the primary datastore. We are extremely happy we chose that option. It gives us everything we need: extreme performance, scalability with customized sharding, stability with sentinels, and most importantly: a fantastic data model that is enjoyable to work with. We don't need to add anything extra to our stack if we later need a pub/sub system or realtime support for our custom chat app for example.

We use a custom Go-based system to collect the crazy amount of analytics that easily exceeds our memory, but for the core business logic, Redis is a top-notch choice. We actually build our whole CRM on top of Redis: https://volument.com/blog/the-power-of-simple-crud

In those days, I admined SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, SCO, FreeBSD, Linux and Windows NT boxes at a nuclear engineering consultancy that had an IPv4 Class C just for an Ethernet LAN. (Heck, I checked the other day and that defunct company still has the this range allocated for no reason whatsoever: https://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-206-197-48-0-1 ) Fun fact: the hostnames were names of Simpson characters. :)

Maybe it was the fact that media didn't play as dominant a role in people's lives? You'd read the daily paper and then move on with your day.

As for the popular music, I dunno. I mean 80s music is distinctly optimistic in contrast with 90s grunge. Maybe it was an echo of the disco era of the 70s that bled into the music style?

I remember the 90s very well and it definitely was an optimistic period even though the music was mixed, with hip hop taking off amongst the gang violence of the early 90s. And grunge and emo with their much more emotional versions of rock. Still, seemed like the world was generally at peace and everything was getting better and people believed they were getting better.

In many ways the world is still getting better, but there seems to be a lot of tension today and I don't know what all the root causes of that are.
Wow, is there an article for this yet? Just happened to me. Not good.
I am having a GREAT day (hiccup!).

I didn't see your original message but I'm sure it was well-intentioned and wrong. I am wrong often too. Just not this time.

Taking back an HN post you think will be taken as uncivil is a strong move. Respect for taking the community seriously. There's nothing personal in my criticism of encrypted email; it's the technology I hate, not the people behind it.
Translation: Come to HN with your problems and you'll get the VIP treatment while there's a spotlight on the company.

Attempting to find an answer as an outsider lead me to this PR release from last year: https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/chargeback-protection < It makes me assume that if the merchant wasn't paying that extra fee they are going to be slammed.
There is no BINARY type in SQLite. (However, the declared type mostly does not restrict the data that column may store. All columns can store blobs and nulls (unless NOT NULL is specified). Columns declared CHAR, VARCHAR, CLOB, CHARACTER, or TEXT can store only text, blob, and null; trying to store a number will convert it to text. Columns declared REAL, FLOAT, or DOUBLE cannot store integers; they are converted into floating numbers; if you try to store text representing a number, it is converted to that number. Columns declared INT, INTEGER, NUMERIC, or an unrecognized type (such as BINARY) can store any value, but text representing a number is converted to a number, and floating numbers which can be losslessly represented as integers are converted to integers. Columns declared BLOB or with no type specified can store any value.)
While on SQLite, Hipp's fossil-scm is also another great piece of work. My personal favourite to start projects since I can keep code, docs and issues all in a single .. SQLite file! fossil is also just a single executable with no other dependencies and comes with a built-in web server complete with user management if you want to expose to a small group.

The main and real reason I love fossil is that I'm always at peace knowing that I can't accidentally bungle up the history. I'm always nervous about that when I use git .. still.

Had to look up those two terms, from Wikipedia:

Dennard scaling, also known as MOSFET scaling, is a scaling law based on a 1974 paper co-authored by Robert H. Dennard, after whom it is named.[1] Originally formulated for MOSFETs, it states, roughly, that as transistors get smaller, their power density stays constant, so that the power use stays in proportion with area; both voltage and current scale (downward) with length.

Landauer's principle is a physical principle pertaining to the lower theoretical limit of energy consumption of computation. ...

At 20 °C ..., the Landauer limit represents an energy of approximately 0.0175 eV, or 2.805 zJ. Theoretically, room‑temperature computer memory operating at the Landauer limit could be changed at a rate of one billion bits per second with energy being converted to heat in the memory media at the rate of only 2.805 trillionths of a watt (that is, at a rate of only 2.805 pJ/s). Modern computers use millions of times as much energy per second.

[But there's a limit to how far we can improve that leading to hitting it around 2050].
I have no problem with anyone sending encrypted email because they are legally required to do so. I'm sure there are a bunch more corner cases like that, and I'll have the same response to all of them. I think it's pretty clear who the intended target of my critique is.
I agree they are not interesting points. But they are exactly the problem you are complaining about for email.

Also respectfully: If the point of your writeup is to suggest that the signal protocol is better than the SMTP protocol, then I suggest you delete those points from your writeup. If the point of the writeup is that the signal experience is better than the email experience, then I suggest you stop claiming that the signal protocol is better than the SMTP protocol.
I hope you're not suggesting that postal mail is a model of security.
Practically speaking using PGP (or any other design of the same type) doesn't work to preserve privacy due to the architeture of email.

Pervasive use of TLS for clients (IMAPS, web clients) and SMTP (STARTTLS) has had a far greater practical impact on securing email. Let's Encrypt has helped in enabling that.

I haven't seen a report on whether GMail warning when domains were not using TLS has had an impact, but it did for me, because I told my accountant he had to get it done or I would change accountants. GSuite actually lets you prevent sending cleartext, i.e. making MitM downgrade attacks cause fail secure, rather than fail open. https://support.google.com/a/answer/2520500?hl=en

> Red meat and dairy have significant amounts of trans fats.

Natural trans fats [1] are made by bacteria in the rumen, and are rather different than manufactured trans fats created from seed oils with hydrogen gas and catalysts.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugated_linoleic_acid - "The biological activity of CLA was noted by researchers in 1979 who found it to inhibit chemically induced cancer in mice [...] In 2008, the United States Food and Drug Administration categorized CLA as generally recognized as safe (GRAS)."

> You're still probably better off with vegetable fats if you can help it, at least where partially hydrogenated oils are banned.

Most polyunsaturated oils are deodorized ("refined"), so customers don't realize they're eating rancid oil.

I bought unrefined grape seed oil years ago. Didn't know what to do with the obviously-rancid oil. Now I would give it to my father, so he could use it to help start his barbecue's charcoal.
Naa that's too nasty. However, a sleep or something that gets printed just for fun is less harmful and somewhat fun :)

With Alpine, the size advantages of musl sometimes come with hidden overheads as well.

Musl's malloc() seems to be a fair bit slower than glibc's when you start to throw in more threads at it (fragments faster?).

And then if you try to replace that with jemalloc, you'll quickly find out that jemalloc does not actually get used.

At some level, the difference between a 1Mb docker image and a 9Mb one isn't that significant (& I asked for some things like strace, ping and nslookup to be in it, because it gets impossible to debug the container when it obviously caches a DNS record or at least, looks like it is doing that).
HN has an infamous feature called shadowbanning whereby mods can ban a user in such a way that they can't tell that their account is banned. As far as the user is concerned they are not banned, but the comments they submit are immediately marked as dead when they are posted and hidden.

This feature is supposed to be used for cases such as spam bots or crazy people. However for whatever reason sometimes normal users end up shadowbanned.

You can tell if a user is shadowbanned if you have showdead on and most of their comments are dead for seemingly no reason. Yet they continue to post new comments unaware that they are banned.
I use Signal on my phone, and I like it for the common situation where I'm close enough with the person to share my personal phone number.

I'm still looking for a solution for the situation when I'm trying to communicate without revealing my identity to the person I'm talking with. Signal's reliance on phone numbers means I'd need to get a bunch of burner phones or something, which is beyond what I'm willing to do: I'm not talking about an ultra-high-risk situation, just I'd rather not announce who I am when I'm interacting with people I don't know that well.

What do you think is the most promising tool for this sort of communication? I've been hearing about Riot/Matrix; do you think that's a good option for people to use?
Deforestation is quick, easy cash. Juicy trees. Verdant pasture. Mouths to feed. So local incentives kick in and whoosh go the trees.
I see it the other way around:

- to them, I'm helpful. So I feel useful, because I got actual humans that are thankful that I'm here. I need that to live, to be happy.

- the money allows me to have a very good life style, so I can enjoy many things I couldn't otherwise in what you call my "very limited lifetime"

- high rates mean less hours, which mean I get to spend time with people I love, have fun and contribute to open source projects.

It's not perfect, sure. But it's pretty sweat.
Because "world" doesn't actually mean anything - it's an analogy that is intuitive and snaps into place with the math for some people but not others. The intuition that works for others is "collapse", for me it's massive informational entanglement (information is physical).
Regardless of what you end up using you need to have your own monitoring if you care about availability.

My own monitoring always alerts if certificate chains don't validate, HTTP->HTTPS redirection is dead, or if the certificate is due to expire in less than 10 days.

The various tools for interacting with Lets Encrypt might fail sometimes, but if you have monitoring you can fix them up as required - and without monitoring you'll in trouble regardless of who you use.

Imagine the lack of thought that goes into saying something like that. Not just saying it but also believing it.

You’re getting this data from a third party. One that may well have used a USB stick to copy the data AFTER exfiltrating it using some other method, but BEFORE handing it to wiki leaks.

Some shoddy timestamp correlations don’t mean that the data was stolen via USB in any way. They are inherently mutable and could well have been modified by an adversary to spread FUD.

Worrying about trans fats and heart disease when over half of your population is so obese it's impairing their ability to walk seems insane.

Then again, trans fats isn't the addictive high-margin industrial product... :(
I don't see a single argument in the article why, conditional on:

1. Me deciding to send a given message

2. Me deciding to use email for that message

... I should send it over an unencrypted email rather than encrypted one.

I see arguments for using other systems like Signal. I see arguments for a false sense of security — i.e. if I didn't assume the email was secure, I'd write a different message.

But, again, for a given message being sent over an email, I just don't see any reason not to encrypt it if it provides at least some protection (and saying it doesn't would probably be too much hyperbole even for latacora). The authors sort of just declare out of nowhere:

> But email cannot promise security, and so shouldn’t pretend to offer it.

And if "pretending" meant rot13, I would agree. But even despite all its flaws, there's a sea of difference between rot13 and PGP. If I can publish the encrypted contents of my email publicly, and not even tptacek can decrypt it, then it's not pretending.

So, what is the downside of encrypting an email compared to not encrypting it? I can't think of any, and apparently the authors can't either, despite trying very hard.
I do a fair bit of design in my free time, and am friends with people majoring in it. People are excited about variable fonts in academia and in design circles. I use them nearly exclusively now between Inter, Merriweather, Bodoni* by Indestructible Type, Hepta Slab, and the IBM Plexes. And this is all just for people using it in desktop design programs, since it's being embedded there at the source (designers make it before it gets to the frontend folks), it's looking promising.

I'm 99% sure it'll catch on this time around, in short :)
"It is well known that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction."

This Russia link is stated so often without a shred of evidence on the authority of known liars I think we're safe to say it's less likely than 50:50 at this point. I'll change my mind for credible evidence of which nobody has that they can share.

Evidence. Put up or shut up. The motive for spreading that lie, if it is a lie as seems more than plausible is as as big as the WMD lie are obvious.

Or at least be honest enough to say you still believe WMD as i did before evidence.

IANAP. My (bad) understanding is based on trying to grok Scott Aaron's book on quantumn computing, which AFAIK does a really excellent job educating on, among other things, WTF quantumn physics. I am open to being horribly wrong, as I don't even know how to properly tell if I know what I'm talking about.

That out of the way -

The "thing" is neither a particle or a wave, it's a propagating probability amplitude.

With one slit, you get a simple probability distribution. With two slits, you get a complex probability distribution, where the amplitudes are summed (and since they can be negative, sometimes sum to zero)

The detector adds constraints to the probability amplitudes, zeroing part of the complex probability of the double slit, thus reducing it to a non-complex distribution.

It didn't happen in the US but back during the 2009 global financial crisis Nokia let about 15000 employees go. Many of those were employed in Germany (I am not one of those though) and I heard they were pretty well protected by their union and up for a generous allowance when their time came to leave the company. If it were not for the union, the company would have let them go empty handed.

Sure, but we are passed the stage of "idea that won't work". The whole system runs in degraded mode at this point.

The signatures that are useful when developing the library might be more complex than the ones that the library consumer would be interested in. This isn't much of an excuse when you also maintain the documentation tools.

For a similar example, Scala's old collections library had a ton of machinery to ensure that `map` and co. would specialize correctly.[0] But the user never sees that, because they added a mechanism called "use cases", that allow you to override the signature shown in the docs with a simpler one.[1]

> Other posts here are suggesting the choice is either a commercial school like Lambda or Harvard

These are very much not the same. For profit schools have an incentive to get more students through while maintaining an acceptable level of quality because that way they make more money. Non-profits have much less motivation to make more money. If they get more applications than they want to fill their prestige goes up as does the quality of their student body. So you see the top US universities having more or less the same size student bodies as when there were 200m people living in the US.

Non-profits optimise for a pleasant work environment for faculty, for profits for maximum numbers students.
I did that recently and was astonished that it got accepted so easily. I merely got a "hum..." from some of my clients.
