I remember looking out my window in Oslo and seeing four or five Teslas parked in a line fairly regularly. Felt like I saw a roughly even split of electric: ICE cars, but the countryside was lagging a bit.

Maybe socioeconomic factors are to blame, like having higher income means you can spend more on your car, and thus go with a Tesla. I didn't experience any range anxiety at all, there was a charger every 20 km or so, seemingly, and I traveled around the bottom half of the country.

Not sure how things are in the more remote parts, like Tromso.

This is somewhat significant because, as the article notes in passing, Singapore is a major oil-refining hub. National concern about being a low lying island in a world with rising sea levels would now appear to be gaining precedence over more short-term industry & revenue protection concerns.
A Rotating Detonation Engine Would Revolutionize Rocket Launches
I think you could still hack around it, but in a way that would make non-secure emails come across as gibberish to those that weren't using a special email client.

For subject line, locally you could encrypt it via the same key that you encrypt the message body, so that it would look like gibberish until the end client decrypted it.

For send time, nothing you can do there. If you wanted to hide the sender address, you could likewise obfuscate that by proxying based on a secret key, but at that point you need a custom email server.

I guess I'm thinking that it would be useful to have an email client can:

- do it's own custom security thing (probably not even on SMTP protocol) if the receiver is also using secure mail
- send a normal email if the receiver is not using secure mail

At that point, I'd guess you probably wouldn't call it "secure email" though :)
Yep, I oversaw the implementation of the stripe connect api into our product. You guys have been great to work with.

I totally accept it if we're only counting from the start of true universal adult suffrage, including women and taking no account of melanin content of skin - whoever is first on that deserves it be known widely for their national pride. Was that the USA?
Wow reading the comments sounds like actually a great human being. Help me realize being a jerk is an anti pattern, even though I am sometimes tempted to think otherwise.
Parallelism, What Next?
Makes me pine for FeeFighter's card processor comparator that GroupOn bought and killed.

But in reality, even with their high charges, Stripe makes it easy to get started, but startups can and should change vendors when the need arises. If other processors with lower fees for the particular volume a startup is doing and better APIs, it's worth considering them too.
Taking a more benign view, I don't know if Austen is a scammer, but he seems like a smart guy, who's a bit over his head, with a smart team, who are in over their heads. The kind of students they've targeted need more help, not less, which makes this a bit of a messy situation.

The way google tracks fonts is so annoying. It took me furever to track down this bug: https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/2345

Basically, one out of a thousand requests delivers a broken font that breaks document.fonts.load().
I don't think you've addressed my point. My point is that an alternative client (and hence UX) for the Signal protocol could still have all the flaws that you point out about email. Therefore, the security of Signal is fundamentally dependent on the client/UX. A bad client (that is 100% interoperable with existing the existing Signal client) would break Signal in the same way that email is broken.

Of course such a client for Signal doesn't exist and is unlikely to become widespread even if it were created. Therefore Signal is more secure. I agree with your conclusion and everything in the article; I disagree only with the claim that it is not a UX problem, and the disagreement is likely that we are drawing the boundaries around what constitutes UX in different places.

My personal experience is that all subscription management platforms fall over when you're doing enterprise SaaS. At a certain level (because literally your most valuable customers insist), you have to deal with credit cards, ACH, wire transfers, and checks. On top of that: custom plans, all sorts of weird line items and discounts, prepays, etc. And then you usually want reporting in multiple different formats (e.g. for the accountants/IRS, for company leadership)... it gets messy really quickly and I haven't seen platform that can handle the mess. Probably a startup in there, but not one I'd like to build.

I assume that Google uses Analytics and Fonts as part of its algorithm for determining if a site is popular when creating search engine results. Am I wrong? Does anyone know on or off the record?
In my experience, I only had to remember that they are humans and what's normal to them might not be normal to me.

I also practiced putting myself into their shoes. I realized they might be struggling and stressed and tired, too. I know this doesn't justify their behavior but sometimes being understanding is the best way. When my toxic coworker actually went on a 2-week vacation with no one bothering him, only with his family, he came back so refreshed and positive that it was scarier than him being grumpy and critical all the time in the previous months.

My mom and aunt have both collected vintage uranium glass for years and years. (I wish they didn't have so many tchotchkes though.) Honestly, two bananas a day would give you more radiation... it's not something to worry about.
Just today a junior on my team (who is also new to my team) complained to me that a set of docker containers he was trying to spin up were "not coming up." I probed him a bit, he sent me a screenshot. I shit you not, "ERROR: Write /some/path/on/disk: no space left on device." It's pretty incredible. You can lead a horse to water, and all of that.
Not used them in production (only in my toy projects) but I’ve heard decent things about this https://www.buypass.com/ssl/products/go-ssl-campaign

They use the same acme system as LE so depends on what failed for you for it to be a viable alternative (if the certbot failed for example then it might of failed using buypass in the same way as it would of failed under LE)

What is the least expensive payment gateway these days for a SaaS business? My stripe costs keep going up, happy to write the code to switch... what’s the lowest rate processor?
Completely not my experience at Georgia Tech. You were left to your own devices, had to learn sensible debugging and logging in order to complete most tasks in a time efficient manner, and your time was crunched. It probably depends, but I don't see how you can get that experience in a web dev bootcamp
i dont really see the value in stripe compared to any other payment processor... they still do all the dirty tricks that everyone else does, like hold your money, cancel your account, hold your money.
So instead of the old days of having a sign that says "We haven't had a workplace accident in XX days" they need "We haven't had a security breach in XX days".

A lot of non-accessibility apps use the accessibility features to do things like window resizing and clipboard management. Looking at my relatively pristine MacBook Pro's settings, I've got Flycut and Rectangle (expected) and less expectedly Dropbox and Aquamacs with accessibility access.

Mayor London Breed’s fix for choked streets: congestion pricing and parking
There's a lot of engagement on some issue or other, such as this one of how easy it is to spot paid shills and then while making a pretty reasonable point about it stating something very contentious as fact. Just like we see from Bernie and his total commitment to call communism by another name.

And that last bit is 1% of the interest and is tangentially related so it doesn't totally jar. Look out for it. You get the same ones repeated again and again like that. It may be totally organic too because Assange is a narcisist rapist who is lying about being afraid of being extradited to the USA so lots of people have said so. Keep repeating and it becomes fact undermines anyone with a different point of view. Full disclosure I am not an Assange supporter nor a Bloomberg or Bernie supporter.

Paid shills are actually really hard to spot. I strongly suspect most of what jars as paid shills aren't paid.
Yes, we pay a human to transcribe each episode and then we open source the markdown on GitHub for community collaboration/improvement.
> I don't know what you know, but I can say that Signal and Signal Protocol have protected so many more messages than PGP that, by comparison and to a rough first approximation, we could say that PGP has protected effectively no messages

I can believe it about Signal protocol, since it’s implemented on Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger. But, if you talk just about Signal proper, are you sure it protected more messages and more people than PGP?

I see this claim fairly often, but no data to back it up
Something that works & satisfies requirements may still be terrible to maintain, expand or debug. That's the real difference between a well / badly developed app.

Agreed on the levels of complexity in basic apps nowadays.
The books are quite good as well, but as is common with these things, the books and the show diverge in ways I won't spoil. Expect it and enjoy the books for what they are.
Claiming that EFAIL somehow showed a weakness on the part of PGP and S/MIME is like saying that a caretaker that lets burglars into their tenant's apartment is an example of bad lock design. Sure the lock maker could of removed the ability to use a master key but that is simply not a reasonable thing to suggest.
I've got to disagree on the stripe documentation. They set the bar for exemplary documentation.

There's no question that limiting the supply of labor in a job market increases its price. I just don't think it's worth the price. For unions there's an extra layer of overhead and union dues. For professional societies (like the AMA) there's an extra layer of credentialing and suspiciously low innovation.

But that's my assessment and I'm probably abnormal in my situation. I'm happy to be wrong though. If more companies form unions and these companies pay better, reward good performance more fairly, have less intrinsic bias, etc, then I'll be the first to jump ship.
TLDR: clickbait headlines!

; )
I agree with this.

I've read an article that toxic coworkers actually do affect performance so I know this is hard.

But, in my experience, I wasn't exactly NICE but I was genuinely trying to be helpful, and sensitive to whatever the team needs. In the end, all I got was respect not only from him but from the team, which is the only thing I need.
That's interesting. Thanks for taking the time to expand on it.
My view is that he needs coaching for his next job. I think that the relationship would turn sour if the manager hints that people complained about the person’s behavior.

Magic is mostly indirection
Interesting concept. Food for thought.

In the 18th century before American states were united, it was not a democracy at all but it was still considered a _free_ country because ordinary servants and indigents were encouraged to settle in the colonies where they could realistically aspire to property ownership for their descendants, and maybe even themselves, in ways that would never be possible in the Old World where everything was already spoken for generations before they came along. One reason it was called a New World.

Back then they had a different way of approaching a similar concept in one of the southern states, among cultures where slavery had an unbroken legacy since before ancient Roman times. By this point bondage was just beginning to gain a foothold on agricultural plantations because great returns can be made when they scale unpaid hard labor. Only to eventually escalate later to more greedy & cruel things which we know citizens had not seen before on this continent.

But plantations were not yet very large or numerous, and common Londoners were being tempted to sail the sea and start a new life as a colonist, where an industrious laborer or farmer could become a homesteader and _expect to be able to own a Negro within seven years_.

And they showed the math in pounds & shillings.
Euh, you are talking about EU security features?

So,

if(IsInEurope(Customer.Country) || IpAnalyzer.IsInEurope(visitor.Ip))

Should do it. But fallback method should be implemented, took me 3 minutes of reading documentation + googling.

Between all those tax regulation differences, I think this one is mostly straightforward for handling global payments.

Not font manipulation, but the Alacritty project has had an RFC [1] open for a while now to try and make font configuration better.

It means fewer rejected transactions.
18 months is the part time. 9 is the full time. It used to be six, but they raised it because people would expect a job on graduation, nine is more realistic for that.
> submit a transaction via an online API as a debit rather than credit

Yes, via ACH/SEPA Direct Debit but I don't believe it's common outside of Europe.

Processors, like First Data, will know at the point of transaction if it's a credit card, debit card, or even a prepaid card. Though it's been a few years, I remember the Adyen API returning all of this in the pre-auth response (had a business that didn't accept payments from prepaid cards, fraud was too high).

It's also possible this is encoded in the BIN/IIN (1st 6 digits), but my memory is fuzzy on the specifics.
I think I'm missing the pun here, can someone explain?
What's the value of acknowledging that some vested interests hold the view though? At face value I mean. There are lots of legitimate economic reasons to consider leaving the EU, it's not the unilaterally bad decision that's become a meme around here and Reddit, the reason I say this being that it shouldn't be surprising in and of itself as a decision.
That's what the dev/staging environments are for. Even if you run it 3x/day in production, it's less than $100/month. Use a company card and you get the money back too.

There are plenty of red flags in the article but the part about Lambda selling the ISAs removing their incentive is BS - their long term incentives are clearly still aligned because they won’t be able to continue selling ISAs if they don’t deliver. Selling the ISAs presumably just helps with cash flow. That said it makes one wonder why a company that’s raised 9 figures needs to worry about cash flow.

If you give an email address to your LE client you should get an few emails from LE advising you when a cert is due to expire giving you some time to get it sorted before your old cert expires.

Edit: personally I also have a script that runs every day and checks the validity of all the certs in my live directory and pings me when they are due to expire as a second measure.

I love how this isn't at all what you'd do if you were to optimize for usability, but it's absolutely a great experience.

In the late '90s, I was working for CMU as a programmer and general-purpose janitor for the Andrew system, the campus computing environment. Students frequently worked on a pool of shared machines, particularly for a class like Operating Systems that required Unix. (Yalnix did not run on Linux at the time.) The shared machines had no per-user quota, and generally, abuse wasn't a problem.

But one semester, the OS class added a new first assignment: write a shell. It took about a day or two, but after the second or third accidental fork bomb, a generous per-user process limit was imposed.
