this is naive. The guy self funded. He's competing plenty, just not the classic way. No one is forcing anyone to support the guy. People are considering his points and saying "Ya, I support this guy". Best way to actually get that support down is to expose him to the public. You also risk him being a great debater, so it is what it is.

It sucks, but welcome to politics.

Until I read the transcript, just now, I had confused SQLite's origins (a General Dynamics contract with the US Navy) with its through-2050 support contract, which, it turns out, is with Airbus.
Hey, product looks awesome, something I would put time into:

Large landlords: They often mandate specific coverage, and will cross sell & promote you into their tennant email/welcome kits.

EQR requires something like 100K of liability in the bay area, gives you 30 days from lease effective or so to secure a policy or they auto enroll you in a $10/Mo from another vendor.
> Any DNS service which allows you to create a CNAME RR supports it.

And which of those also have an API that is supported by Certbot?

I would really like names where a setup like this has been tested and works.

Haskell's syntax without Haskell's type system sounds like a nightmare. The type system is what makes me at least vaguely confident that the incomprehensible string of symbols that make up a good chunk of Haskell expressions are at least close to being correct.

(And to be clear: I use Haskell professionally and love it - but the syntax is _not_ why most people use Haskell).
Fixing an Issue with How a Primary Forecast Was Calculating Demographic Strength
Those same sources will also tell you that Egyptians did not have angular measure. They had the "sekhed", a gradient for measuring slope.

How then were they able to derive pi and phi, which the GP is inextricably related to? (https://www.goldennumber.net/phi-pi-great-pyramid-egypt/)

I have some theories on this, but they are more speculative and less substantiated than what's been discussed so far.

The argument/extrapolation I've been hearing has more to do that Patreon maybe couldn't be trusted as "Patreon Capital" is a business model of known predators ("Pay-Day Loans" aka "Loan Sharks"). Whether or not Patreon needed to do it to make their VCs happier with their business model or if they thought the new business model would be more profitable or as their PR seems to imply they just thought it would a useful feature intended to help their "Creators", it smells like an escalation (to possibly "mob boss") in Patreon's relationship with their "Creators" and the "Creators" may be likely to bolt from distrust.

Well, for MLCC caps specifically, 6.3V is definitely not going to cut it (that's less than the voltage across 2 LEDs, and there will be more than that in series). You'll find that 100uf in 200V ceramic caps will be substantially more expensive ($10 - $100), plus you get fun effects like ceramic capacitors have less capacitance the higher the DC voltage across them.

Electrolytics are used when you have no choice, and if you are trying to store a large amount of charge in a small volume (especially on the cheap), you have precious little options.
"Limiting attack surface" is also a thing. Claiming there's no benefit is empirically false.

...or it should at least have nproc limits

I believe that nproc limits are only useful against accidents. In particular the following shell script is very good at taking out systems no matter what limits you set.

#!/bin/sh
perl -e '1 while push @big, 1` &
$0 &
$0

If you prevent it from taking out all of the process spots, it still is going to wipe out your memory. If you set paranoid enough limits on both memory and process spots, the system is going to be unusable for normal use cases.
The reason I self-host fonts (that I paid for) on my personal website is that I don't want third party tracking via fonts on my website. It's all first party and I want to keep it that way. So there is your answer: It's an easy way to track websites via another vector other than Google Analytics, which many people block or which is not installed everywhere.

Not saying this is the ideal solution, but you could just drop any frame that contains any out of order packets. If an out of order packet arrives, just drop the current frame and start ignoring packets until you find the start of another frame.

You don't even need the DNS to be local and expose anything at all to the internet. You can just as well push the TXT records to your usual DNS through your registrar's API. This generally just works.
One of the concerns with email that article raised was: the recipient can click on "reply" -- without encrypting the reply message -- which would send the response together with the original message "quoted" - all of that unencrypted. This is apparently common operational mistake.

Note that this has nothing to do with key exchange, ie putting it on sd card or whatever, would not change anything about the issue raised above.

There is also about a dozen other issues that the article lists, worth reading for sure.
That doesn't mirror how primary voters actually rank candidates. Polling shows that many voter's first preference and second preference are often ideologically different -- you might have a primary voter who's 1st pick is a centrist democrat, and 2nd pick is socialist democrat, and vice versa.
I found your comment really interesting, I think there are quite a few vested interests involved in the desire to leave the EU. This and most notably the work on tax havens the EU was doing, the UK being one of the biggest with several opaque jurisdictions being under its control. Saying GCHQ doesn’t make political decisions by downvoting this is extremely naive.

Everyone I talk to uses Signal; even my siblings, who are not technologists and who I do not talk to about this stuff, use Signal (sometimes to my annoyance, since iMessage works just fine when we're figuring out what each of us is bringing to dinner).

> The PhD wage situation in the US is simply shameful.

It really isn't. I recently finished my PhD, and now I'm a postdoc. My stipend was $30K, but, crucially, I wasn't living in a place like Santa Cruz. It was very easy to live on such a stipend where I was at. I paid $800/mo for a 2-bedroom apartment all to myself. This was not a CS PhD, it was biomedical, so the stipend was comparable to the normal B.S. salary in that field.

These students' problem is that they chose to do their studies in Santa Cruz. This is not a normal US PhD student situation, it is yet another dysfunctional California situation.

If someone is pursuing a PhD, yet can't do the basic math to determine, before accepting an offer, whether the stipend will allow them to live in the area, I can't summon much sympathy.

I've been enrolled at Lambda for just about a year now, so I feel qualified to comment here.

> Of course they'll say that the students have supports through their PMs, EMs or TLs (depending on the mood, they change the role title), but they're never available and miss meetings constantly.

This statement is full of hyperbole, however it gets at what I feel is Lambda's biggest problem: Team Lead quality and consistency.

The problem is a misalignment of incentives (sound familiar?). TLs are current students who are further ahead in the curriculum. The schedule makes it effectively impossible to have a job and TL, in addition to being a student, so I'm guessing most of those who apply for a TL position do so largely for the paycheck.

I don't mean to say that all TLs are bad or don't care about the success of their teams. In fact my experience has been mostly positive. But ultimately students are not at Lambda to be TLs. They are at Lambda to get high-paying tech jobs.
Good that there is a stack recursion limit in Python.

I'm usually confused why nobody ever mentions S/MIME. Its super easy to use with Apple Mail.
Spanning three different democratic nations, in every single step involving the case of assange there has been brazen corruption, praxis violations, legal violations, and through most of it the information has been leaked to the public with minimum consequences to those responsible.

I am starting to come to the conclusion that the anomaly is the Nixon case. It is one of the rare cases where those responsible did get some punishment.

To prevent riots government needs to produce better policies, so that there would be no need for a riot in the first place. Preventing peaceful assembly is not one of these policies.
No problem, it's important I think. It is a heavily regulated industry so we always have to be mindful of what is legal, what is going to get regulatory approval, and what we actually want that will serve Members the best.

because they explicitly make the claim that you can trust them because they don't make money until you make money - e.g. it's not in their interests to just take on as many people as possible, and that the education will be good enough to make money.

But they do make money more or less immediately upon getting the ISA, so that claim - and the motivation to provide the quality of service they've claimed they'll offer isn't actually there.
> Because I'm a freelancer, I don't care.

I'm also a freelancer, and I've also said exactly this. I was happy to profit handsomely from the incompetence and apathy of my clients.

But in recent years I realized I was wrong. It doesn't matter how well it pays, I feel like I'm wasting precious chunks of a very limited lifetime being a disciplined and methodical janitor for my clients.

Now it's more important to learn, to stretch, or to contribute to a more worthy cause than just getting paid well to do shitwork.

Time well spent is worth far more than anyone will pay for it.

The unintended side effect of prioritizing learning over invoicing is that revenue now seems to take care of itself. It's all a bit Zen.

All that you're accomplishing by switching to decentralized servers is publishing the metadata that you claim to be concerned about for free. Before, someone had to serve Google a valid subpoena to find out who you've been talking to. After, you're just broadcasting it publicly across the net in network header logs.
Your immune system has to actively defend against bacteria and fungi that would quite happily eat you.

That would have to be someone actively engaging in MitM and not merely listening and keeping record.

Even if that's the case though, you can raise the difficulty by doing it through a phone call.
There are many issues with that.

Many voters don't have the time to spend on political education, nor the interest - I actually think the lack of free time is an issue in a democracy, and it's why elderly people are such an active demographic during elections

And the elephant in the room is that propaganda works even on informed people. Just making a name familiar to you is money well spent for marketers, even if you don't buy the claims of the ad it's still an advantage.

Media is designed to be addictive in our days. We should start treating it for what it is - if something disguising as news is actively attempting to evoke an emotional response for the reader/listener to get them hooked, that thing is harmful and not a public service (state funded or not). I don't have a solution, but I do think that at some point in the future we'll look at clickbait and disguised ads the same way we look at tobacco or asbestos now.
One of my favourite Big Clive moments was when he turned up on Barry Lewis's channel (a thoroughly nice and decent British amateur cook and kitchen gadget tester) when Barry had plugged a 120v rated grilled cheese toaster into a UK 240v household supply, near kitchen conflagration hilarity ensues:

Video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H66Fbg9nrk4

Clive's comment:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H66Fbg9nrk4&lc=UgyLpu-CcVthk...

"The best bit about this video is seeing you plug a 120V appliance into 240V without realising it, and then watching the horror unfold as the grossly overloaded appliance makes loud stressed noises and emits flames. The appliance doesn't just run at twice it's normal power, it's closer to four times the power. Good job. Very entertaining."

I've followed Big Clive for about 5 years now and he's a great presenter. Especially his "what cheap shite I bought from my local Poundland on the Isle of Man" videos...which actually kinda reassure you that Poundland's "cheapo" electrics aren't that terrible or are going to burn your house down.

I had a sinking feeling when the inventor of the CDO appeared in this article.

The housing bubble occurred, in part, because there was optimism that acquiring a certain tangible asset - a house - was a sure path to prosperity for the buyer. And the buyers of mortgage-backed securities had decades of data showing that these were solid investments.

What about intangible assets like knowing how to code? Is this what Lambda School is really doing?

And like the housing bubble, once the originator can sell the debt, they have some incentives to inflate expectations on both sides.

Perhaps Lambda School’s ISA-selling isn’t vulnerable to this flaw. Maybe the ISA-buyers are doing due diligence. But you would have thought the same was true in 2008 too.

Like everyone with a Twitter account I’ve interacted with Austen. And I had a mildly positive impression, or at least I thought he deserved more credit. Not sure about that any more. I would like to see his response.

The Biggest Prize in E-Sports: Talent
When I look at politics and government in general, my immediate take away isn't "Boy, I'd sure like to pay even more for that".

That said, I agree that money in politics is an issue, but since getting money out of politics is impossible, perhaps we should just get politics out of money. A government which is not empowered/encouraged to waste the publics money would be a nice starting point.

> The problem here is that there are real people who depend on the security of their messages who would be taking unreasonable risks in trying to get an encrypted email workflow going.

But how do you decide who is taking unreasonable risks?

Surely there are also some people who would be taking unreasonable risks communicating via any means other than a one-time pad exchanged in person!

And yet I suspect most security professionals will say that in most use cases the ergonomic disadvantages of one-time pad make it not worth the added security. Which is the exact same form of argument you said is problematic regarding secure messaging services.

This needs a 100V capacitor. 6.3V ceramic caps are easy to source, but not higher voltage devices. Multilayer ceramic capacitors for high voltages are still quite expensive.[1] Not available in surface mount, either.

Energy stored is voltage x capacitance, and capacitor size and cost scales according. You have to store enough energy to light the bulb for half a power line cycle in something.

If you used 3-phase power to light bulbs, no need for energy storage. 3-phase is always on; you just need a switching regulator to smooth out the ripple. Some large arena lights work that way. Not worth the trouble at home scale.
