Un fortunately, there are lots of things to specify in order to properly use the crypto you mentioned. It sounds as if you are already taking care of those things.

For people who may not be aware: Which SHA-2? Is it a truncated version? What encryption mode of AES? Are you using an IV? How is it generated? How is the key material protected? With PBKDF2, how many iterations, how was the salt generated, what PRF is used in it? Is DPAPI used in machine or user scope?
There are some rumors that indicate the Canary Islands will set up some remote worker deal. It'd be great as they have low tax, great weather and nice infrastructure including really nice Internet.

I think you're replying to someone else. I never mentioned "OK Boomer."

My comment on social media applies to many different things; not just ageism.

And, as is being amply demonstrated by thousands of people all over the world, it's not particularly helpful for people that aren't in a certain class, to dismiss the experience of people that are in a class.

I'm not a woman, black, brown, gay, or disabled, so it is not helpful for me to judge whether or not those folks experience difficulty from people that look like me.

I am, however, an older tech worker, and can confirm, from personal experience, that people like me, get a lot of friction; sometimes, from other people like me (It's not just young folks that engage in ageism).

BTW: I grew up in Africa. I'm familiar with the way lions deal with each other; including the practice of new pride leaders killing all the cubs from the previous pride. I think that may also resonate in our industry.

There seems to be an infinite supply of think pieces like this on Substack. They cover mental models, productivity, startups, why your product should be more like Stripe, tech brain[1], etc.

I guess if you pump out enough pieces like this over a long enough time horizon, you get "1k true fans" or something.

As a sibling comment pointed out, applications built for x86 PCs don't even need to be recompiled to run on compatible processors by another manufacturer. (Heck, even across architectures you can usually recompile relatively easily provided the software is written in a high-level language with a compiler available there.) That is very much not the case with cloud providers' APIs; they're largely provider-specific.

The closest equivalent in the cloud provider ecosystem is probably Kubernetes; there are provider-specific extensions (and I recommend avoiding those where possible) but largely things work the same across providers.

I'd say a more representative example of lock-in in the PC ecosystem is that of proprietary OS vendors. If you're targeting specifically iOS/Android (w/ Play Services)/macOS/Windows/etc, then yes, you're beholden to the vendor (to varying degrees in each case).

You may accept that risk, but you should always be aware of it.

We don't run exacycle any more (I built and ran exacycle for several years). It's not a cost-effective way to do science, but yes, the scale was absolutely insane. These days, I'm more interesting in seeing if there are ways to use TPUs, rather than CPUs, for similar kinds of opportunistic computing.
Many small municipalities outsource their permits and inspections. It might be better to target those inspection/permit companies.
Meta/side-track: notion is a horrible publishing platform. I can see its use as a wiki/documentation solution (although I disagree with many of the UI choices they make and would never personally choose it) but none of these points actually hold when I'm just reading a published page.

Export it to markdown, and dump it on a github page or something. At least that way we can use space/PgUp etc to navigate.
It sounds almost comical. "Other than the transistor". The transistor is one of the most important inventions humanity ever made.
where do people get to decide how much to work? pretty much everywhere working hours are dictated by the employer.

if people want to work 5 days a week, it's because 5 days is the norm, and noone gives much choice.

the norm used to be 6 days, then 5.5 days, and it was a big campaign in germany to get it down to 5.

btw the current norm is actually 35 hours for office work, 7 hours per day, or, if you do 8 hours per day 4.5 days. now they want to shave another 7 hours of that to 28.

all such a regulation does is to define what is the default. it does not dictate that i am only allowed to work those hours. i am still free to negotiate less hours if i want to. negotiating more is harder because of overtime rules but it's possible.
Your comparison is moot. Your example is defamation. There's no defamation going on in the case of Apple and IAP mention. Its factual, honest, transparent. Its solely to inform the customer, its in the customer's interest.

As for stores being able to decide what products they sell. This isn't just some small store. Its a huge store. They have [arguably] clear rules (a lot of them). And the rule that a customer isn't allowed to mention the "Apple tax" is unfair because it attempts to hide valuable information _about_ the sale _from_ the customer.

Apple built excellent phones that used screws and had easily replaceable batteries, and were smaller than their current phones.
I'm writing "All Apple has to do", because they actually did it already.

There is an esthetic consideration in that they won't be able to use a glass back, but that's seriously minor. They can put paint and gloss on top of ceramic or tons of other solutions for just a bit more cost.
supercomputers, by tradition, are tightly coupled in a way that Google datacenter servers aren't. The closest thing Google has to supercomputers are GPUs linked by high performance networks, and TPUs (which have their own custom toroidal mesh).
It's not complicated per se, but the industry makes it complicated. Running a basic web app isn't complicated if you throw up a server, but if you use Kubernetes then you've suddenly made things much harder.

Things are only as hard as we make them.
No particular resource to recommend, though I first learned about it in a book by Radia Perlman, but BGP is a protocol you don't hear much about unless you work in networking, and is one of the key pieces in a lot of wide-scale outages. I'd start with that.
Out of curiosity I did a quick Wikipedia check for total deaths in major racing sports categories as compared to the 32 mentioned in the article in NASCAR...

- F1: 45 (last death in 2015 and the one before in 1994)

- Le Mans: 22 (last death in 2013 and the one before in 1997)

- World Rally: 25 (last deaths in 2006 and 2005 and another in 1993)

- MotoGP: 103 (last deaths in 2016, 2011, 2010, 2003)

- Indy: 95 (last deaths in 2015, 2011, 2006, 2003)

- NASCAR Cup: 32 (last two deaths in 2001 according to Wikipedia)
Unfortunately, this infrastructure is at an uncanny intersection of technology, business and politics.

To learn the technical aspect of it, you can follow any network engineering certification materials or resources that delve into dynamic routing protocols, notably BGP. Inter-ISP networking is nothing but setting up BGP sessions and filters at the technical level. Why you set these up, and under what conditions is a whole different can of worms, though.

The business and political aspect is a bit more difficult to learn without practice, but a good simulacrum can be taking part in a project like dn42, or even just getting an ASN and some IPv6 PA space and trying to announce it somewhere. However, this is no substitute for actual experience running an ISP, negotiating percentile billing rates with salespeople, getting into IXes, answering peering requests, getting rejected from peering requests, etc. :)

Disclaimer: I helped start a non-profit ISP in part to learn about these things in practice.
In the US at least (less so here in the EU) a ton of scientific research is funded and performed with funds earmarked for national security, health and defense (often just called the military budget). That money goes to way more than just pure military though.

Epic charges a fee too so I’m not sure why you think the price of the game is going to change drastically to the end user. Epic doesn’t charge less for Civilization 6 than Steam does, the developer just gets a bit more of the sale.
Yep, I had a similar experience. Sites that didn't work from my home connection worked fine on mobile. After rebooting and it persisted, I assumed it was just a DNS or routing issue since they were both connecting to different networks.
Does every program understand filenames with newlines? Or emoji, backslashes, minus signs or invalid UTF-8 sequences?

I absolutely have, multiple times. It is not difficult for Apple to find a way to get four screw holes in there.
You’re exactly right. Epic charges the same for games as Steam usually even if their cut is a bit smaller. Plus they still take a cut so the difference would be about 20% instead of 30%. For larger developers Steam only takes 20% so the difference would be around 10%
> Windows 10 is usually able to discern whether to defrag or run a harmless TRIM process on a drive, depending on its type. But if volume snapshots are enabled (so you can revert to a backup using System Restore), it will in fact defrag the drive even if it is an SSD.

As was commented in an earlier post of this story: this is only a concern if you have "volume snapshots" enabled.
It indeed seems so, i.e. that there is no paradox in the many-worlds and possibly other interpretations (as a non-expert in quantum physics).

How did they manage to get the paper accepted in the (supposedly selective) Nature Physics journal though? Is there something we are missing?
full-time work is 35 hours.

from the article:
In 2018, it won workers the right to reduce their working week from 35 hours to 28 for two years to increase flexibility, particularly for workers with caring responsibilities.

this is not talking about averages, but about full-time work hours.
Right, you're spot on about the OTP. The pad is itself transmitted over the same channel(s) as the message, so there's no value in using an OTP per se. I think the author was just going for a way to split a message in a way that one needs all parts of the split message (or key) to decrypt it.

I'm not sure I buy your argument for the value this may provide, though.

* The question you pose for an attacker--which platform and which device/identity was used to send a message of interest--already exists, in a more general form, for any attacker. Our threat model presumes the attacker has solved it, or else we wouldn't need e2ee to begin with.

* If you're going to discuss something in person, instead of discussing how to use a small number of different channels or identities, just share cryptographic keys!

It's my strong sense that the author is mostly ignorant of encryption itself (hence the misuse of OTP) and instead is trying to solve for the problem of lawful intercept (and hence the digression about supply chain security). This is a somewhat reasonable concern, but I don't think the proposal does much to help with it.

As I noted above, barring assumptions of extremely pervasive full stack compromise (or full compromise of common cryptographic primitives, an air-gapped dedicated device for encrypting messages with preshared keys provides all the security of this scheme, reduces risk (e.g. of 0days), and is far more usable.
There was something similar a few years ago on a large US mobile network. You could watch the ‘storm’ rolling across the map. Fascinating stuff
Depends on the context, trying something just because it's new can be useful. You may diverge from the known methods/apparatus and eventually establish something better (in some dimension) than what's common. You may find you gradually converge on the known methods from a different angle; this can lead to understanding - like now I know why they do it like that!

Context is whether it's appropriate to do such experimenting and exploring.

Most new patents are for incremental improvements. Suggesting most people start from what's known to a high degree.

If you've got the resources though, why not try something ...

Except for the obvious positions that no one serious would even play, there is no agreed-upon way of calculating who has an advantage in chess like that. One man's terrible mobility and probable blunder is another's brilliant stratagem.

Maybe, but the cost of living in Europe is already considerably higher than in the US (barring of course the popular but disingenuous comparisons between SF/NYC and rural Europe). I'm not an economist, but I wouldn't expect an influx of Americans to drive up the cost of anything except perhaps real estate. Moreover, I wouldn't expect a significant influx of Americans period--relocating to Europe would only be for the intersection of the very privileged, those interested in Europe, and those who have the flexibility to make the move. I'm sure there's some threshold at which too many people are visiting and it's causing problems; however, I'm only arguing that the current state is suboptimal for everyone (although someone else has pointed out that it may be easier to work remotely in Europe than I'm aware of).

This had me really confused until I saw it was a global outage. I have been getting delayed iOS push notifications (from prowl) now for the last few hours, from a device I was fairly sure I had disconnected 3 hours ago (a pump)

Got questioning if I really disconnected it before I left.

I'm wondering if we're at the point where internet outages should have some kind of (emergency) notification/sms sent to _everyone_.
Brave's concerns aren't legit though. WebBundles don't change the request/response system or origin model of the web. They really don't change URLs or blocker abilities at all. Brave is ascribing them either powers they don't have, or that you can already do with plain servers.

I've found Siri is absolutely useless for anything except the following:

> Hey Siri, set the lights to red.

> Hey Siri, set the lights to fifteen percent.

> Hey Siri, in Houston, what's the weather right now?

The weather question has to be worded absolutely correctly. If I instead ask:

> Hey Siri, what's the weather right now in Houston?

Then Siri will stop listening at "now" and immediately answer saying that she needs location services turned on.
We’ve observed this in end-user devices, especially on some ISPs.

It makes sense if the overall adoption and resource allocation are comparatively smaller, making individual or small-group coincident spikes more impactful against the amortized whole.

It’s a lot like a market with low volume/liquidity. Someone wanders in with a big transaction and blows everything up.
That's a possibility, and that's what the manufacturers are driving for, but it's not guaranteed. All the way back in 2015, we were already seeing projections that cost per transistor would flatline or even increase as process nodes continue to shrink (http://www.monolithic3d.com/blog/intel-the-litmus-test for example).

I have no idea where exactly the state of the art stands (certainly Intel was/is having trouble getting their 10nm to squeeze out any type of economically viable product).
How many sides does a banana have?

And yet, their phones still have more than enough space for 4 screws, as you would see if you opened an iPhone. Actually, just reusing existing screw holes could do it.

There is a good reason, and the reason is that Apple doesn't want people to easily repair their phones.
My big takeaway from the article is it will require a big culture shift in the general public, two quotes:

> “I’ve talked to many prescribed fire managers, particularly in the Sierra Nevada over the years, who’ve told me, ‘Yeah, we’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars to get all geared up to do a prescribed burn,’ and then they get shut down.” Maybe there’s too much smog that day from agricultural emissions in the Central Valley, or even too many locals complain that they don’t like smoke. Reforms after the epic 2017 and 2018 fire seasons led to some loosening of the CARB/prescribed fire rules, but we still have a long way to go.

> She’d like to get Californians back closer to the fire culture in the Southeast where, she said, “Your average person goes out back with Grandpa, and they burn 10 acres on the back 40 you know, on a Sunday.” Fire is not just for professionals, not just for government employees and their contractors.
Things mostly routed around the problem. Issues arose because a) some people are single-homed to Level3/CenturyLink b) apparently Level3/CenturyLink continued announcing unreachable prefixes, which breaks the Internet BGP trust model.

MLH Fellowship: My Story
Hi ya'll, hope everyone's enjoying their weekend. I finally got around wrapping up my experience at MLH fellowship into a blog post. Thank you for your time.
BGP is a path-vector routing protocol, every router on the internet is constantly updating its routing tables based on paths provided by its peers to get the shortest distance to an advertised prefix. When a new route is announced it takes time to propagate through the network and for all routers in the chain to “converge” into a single coherent view.

If this is indeed a reconvergence event, that would imply there’s been a cascade of route table updates that have been making their way through CTL/L3’s network - meaning many routers are missing the “correct” paths to prefixes and traffic is not going where it is supposed to, either getting stuck in a routing loop or just going to /dev/null because the next hop isn’t available.

This wouldn’t be such a huge issue if downstream systems could shut down their BGP sessions with CTL and have traffic come in via other routes, but doing so is not resulting in the announcements being pulled from the Level 3 AS - something usually reflective of the CPU on the routers being overloaded processing route table updates or an issue with the BGP communication between them.

Convergence time is a known bugbear of BGP.
There are many military movies. Band of Brothers (technically a mini series). Has examples of good and poor leadership as well as slightly different styles.

There are many sports movies too. The movie Greater shows how one can become a leader by inspiring their peers and persevering.

I can't think of that many business movies. There have been a couple movies about Steve Job. He was successful, but I'm not sure I'd call him a good leader.
The number of people using feature phones in Africa at least, in my experience, is dwindling very fast, and most people that still use them do so because they can't figure out a smartphone (for example, my grandmother).
This wasn't about writing style though - it was about making the piece understandable to at least 95% of readers instead of maybe 1%.
you spoke fairly authoritatively, then hedged at the end ("almost certainly"). have you read IRS form 2555? that's probably a good place to start, as they spend a fairly large amount of time defining terms.

for all their faults, the IRS has extremely clear definitions and exceptions when it comes to foreign earned income and sequelae. while detailed and nuanced, there aren't really any gray areas that i have found.
