Unfortunately, I can't find any update/conclusion.

However, I did find https://sectigo.com/resource-library/the-what-when-and-why-o..., where Sectigo (the CA that presumably revoked the certificate, formerly also known as Comodo) mentions a previous incident, confirms that they didn't notify the certificate owner in that incident, and promises to "review" their practices. Given that RARLAB wrote "We had not received any notification, neither before nor after the revocation", I suspect Sectigo didn't improve.

A lot of people stocked up on toilet paper when the virus was starting.

I think most people would be happy with a placebo if it gave them permission to live their lives again...

Hah! Obviously they should have sent you to buy the tickets, scoured them all for missing numbers, and then sent someone else to buy those.

I would guess that buying $120 of tickets and not matching even a single number is extremely improbable! You were the golden goose, just inverted.
I think the people buying scratch offs every week are gambling. The people who buy a Powerball or Mega Millions a few times a year, when it gets huge, are just doing it just for entertainment’s sake and have no serious expectation of winning.

It’s still problematic, but the real argument for keeping the lottery is that without it, organized crime would start running more of their own numbers games again.
Yeah but you're also free to sell your product at Walmart, smaller stores, or any other retailer which may have different rates. With the Apple store you have well....the Apple store.
For a harrowing, tragic, and hilarious MLM story, read Elle Beau's blog, it's a treasure: https://ellebeaublog.com/poonique/

People tip-toe around calling MLM what it is, specifically a scam using psychological tactics of a cult. For example, Dave Ramsey (host of a highly popular financial radio show and podcast) condemns credit cards in fiery rants, but uses carefully measured terms when talking about MLM. "Most people lose money, but a few can be very successful..."

Something about MLM gets people scared to tell the truth. I think that everyone knows a friend or family member in MLM, and don't want to risk that relationship. Of course that's what MLM preys on.
I’ve had that exact same experience, of feeling sick preceded by a day of near manic state. It’s gotten to the point where I can predict the following day I will feel sick, so I try and start resting more that first day.

Cool! Didn’t know anyone else felt this
Stream values can also be strings, and the language is terrible for dealing with string-valued streams when they come up (but they come up surprisingly often, you just don't normally worry about them too much).

If you ignore the issue of alignment, I actually think that a more conventional array based language, either something SQL-like or numpy-like, would be more accessible to most people. And things like windowing are incredibly unintuitive for most users.
I think the angle this article takes reflects a slight misunderstanding of the conclusions that would be made in the event that psychiatry placed more emphasis on evolutionary reasons for extant behaviors and/or neurological structures seen in humans today.

For example, barring indirect enhancement of fitness which homosexuality may bring to one’s kin, evolutionary psychology would likely determine that any sexually reproducing organism which does not mate with the opposite sex clearly is displaying aberrant/incorrect behavior which is essentially “diseased” by extension.
If I make a discussion website about video games, and someone wants to my site and discuss Axolotls, shouldn’t I have the ability to moderate and control the content that goes on my website?

That’s a fairly innocuous example, but now someone comes to my site and starts spreading some pretty racist and otherwise vile bigoted content. Are you saying I should be forced, by laws, to host and publish that hate for others?

The internet, primarily sites that host user generated content, exist due to them being able to moderate the content that goes on them.

Many of the changes to Intel CPU design over the past decade have been related to power efficiency, not necessarily performance. If you don’t care about trying the get every minute on battery, older machines like this are still perfectly usable.
Yes, there are many. It's quite easy to find the answer to that question.

At a high level, you could say that you can model your data in either, so either can implement the other, and you can also include relational DBs in that too. They are all "equivalent" in an abstract sense. But it doesn't mean they support all uses equally well.

A graph DB is optimised for a traversing a general graph structure, whereas a document DB is optimised for a tree-structured document and sometimes queries can't traverse links between documents.

Optimised means performance, layout in storage (so locality, retrival and join patterns), the kinds of query operators that are offered, and even that the language they use is more suited to different ways of modelling data.
I didn't talk about low contrast at all, I specifically mentioned WCAG2.1 as it has set minimum contrast values for certain text sizes which should be readable. I forced my previous place of employment to take WCAG AA-level as a minimum for every UI element and created a separate high contrast mode for our product which fulfilled the AAA-levels even though we weren't legally obligated nor had any customer ever asked for it.

In the example (yellow on black) I mentioned has too much contrast and actually hinders readability for most people with a normal visual acuity as well as certain types of impairments.

Designers are also the ones responsible _for_ all the accessibility features and standards set to help developers implement accessible solutions.

If you're a software engineer who cares about contrast and studies different vision problems to figure out solutions for example, you're a designer in my book.

This is why I also specifically separated aesthetic and usable design. The former is more akin to "art" as it aims to simply look nice and I don't personally consider it design as design is problem solving and bad design just creates more.

I've always said that if a designer or web developer doesn't actively hinder accessibility, it's already a win in my book. It requires someone to make the decision to slap a #fafafa shaded text o top of a #ffffff background, semantic html and OS default colors go a long way if you don't know better.
#000 is the correct color for backgrounds on articles, and #fff is the correct color for text on that background. I wish I could make everything have an OLED pure black theme, but sadly many apps use gray, very annoying.
Are you sure the lack of diversity is all hiring bias? I also noticed a lack of diversity in undergrad and in some demographics for graduate school. It would make sense that if the requisite degree programs are lacking the diversity, then the candidate pool and workforce will be lacking too.
PragmaticPulp is making an appeal to take responsibility for your time management.

Reducing this to "suck it up" seems like a lack of listening/understanding to me.
I like that. Thanks for sharing it.

I'm 58. I spent over thirty years, writing and managing software projects that other people generally didn't use well (or mishandled while developing). It was frustrating, but they paid the bills, so there wasn't anything I could do about it.

Since leaving my last job, I started to look at working, and immediately, and with extreme prejudice, slammed into the notorious ageism in tech. It was a real shock, as I had always been treated with a fair degree of respect. That is no longer the case. Respect seems to be a virtue that no one practices, anymore (I'm not talking about "worship." I'm talking about simple, basic, courtesy and respect; like I give to others).

I had saved up a fairly substantial war chest, so I just decided to give up on looking for work, and have been spending my time since then, writing a lot of open-source code[0], and learning the latest stuff in the way I want.

Best decision I ever made. Too bad. I'm pretty good at what I do, I would have worked for a lot less than most (see "war chest," above), and would have been happy to take on riskier work with startups and whatnot.

Agreed, last few years I have been working in semi-leadership position. At first, I thought I wanted to move to management but it wasn't exactly what I expected. However, my technical skills suffered. I tried to go back to a simple dev jobs but didn't get hired.

So the plan is build products but also focus on acqui-hire possibilities. If that fails, make sure my resume benefits from my projects. While I am already making pretty decent salary but if all those rumors about FAANG salaries are true, I can double my salary easily. So I can easily recover lost paychecks.

Well that's the idea, who knows how it will play out.
Is this due to being posted here or am I missing something? As an aside, it would be nice if the title was or similar to:

Surely, unless the claim was that in all cases, everywhere a new road means new levels of traffic to fill it, a single counterexample does nothing to expose a fallacy? I feel like your “inevitably” here is a bit strawman-y
This is reassuring, if anything. Those numbers make it sound like it's mostly just a business with an unusual sales and marketing mechanism. The vast majority of the customers aren't taking part in the "pyramid scheme" part of the enterprise. They're just buying herbal supplements because they make them feel better or maybe their neighbour pressured then into it. All slightly skeezy but no worse than most retail businesses selling discretionary items.

It would be much worse for society if most of the "individual sellers" were buying large quantities of the useless product, intending to sell it on but never being able to.

What proportion of people in the distribution/consumption pyramid for Coke earn above minimum wage from distributing or consuming Coke? Surely a lot fewer.

I don’t think the feeling of inadequacy from seeing those more successful is generational.

I think it’s more a reflection of the guilt you harbor at that time, e.g. if I just spent a weak procrastinating, I’ll resent successful people more than if I spent a week productive.

To your point of internet and social media increasing the spectrum of success, I definitely think music industry is a great example of that.
I swear by my Herman Miller Embody chair. I used to have severe lower back pain, and this chair has helped me eliminate the pain by keeping a healthy posture. It's the only chair I found that locks my sitting position, keeping my hips the right way no matter how many hours I have to spend on it and still allowing healthy back movements.
Not a book, but I enjoyed this talk from The Royal Institute:

> Ideally, I would assume the creators of the app would know their customers well enough to choose.

Having worked with many creators in many mediums, that's often not the case. In the case of apps, independent developers who don't have a marketing person can often benefit from even the surface-level presentational help Apple was providing.
20 years ago I used to work for a private investment fund which had an arrangement with a foreign custodian bank. Although the fund closed 2 years later, I still get monthly statements with zero balance even after we begged them to stop sending.

Is it legal to dump batteries in the trash in the US?
In France you could get a significant fine for that.

If you throw other recyclables in regular bin, you would also get a warning the first time, and the workers would not pickup you trash after that if you continue.
Not sure how they are incentivized to check the bins, but they do.
The idea that the system (legal, economic, social) is fair, just, and works the way it's supposed to.
Regarding 1, Cisco will definitely have some explaining to do to their customers and industry compliance bodies, but legally they are in the clear. The precedent has been set time and again that knowingly accessing a system that you know you shouldn't is enough to be considered a criminal act, regardless of how (in)secure it was.
The only thing which works for me is a big old whiteboard in the middle of my working area which I have to pay attention to. It's not like a text file or a task management tool which you can ignore or neglect.

I take great joy in the whiteboard writing itself (probably because I was always much better with keyboards than with pens, it's nice to make up some of that difference now).

Whiteboard real estate is always finite so it's not like you could amass too much junk, as you would digitally. You either need to reset your objectives or, well, go out and complete some of them.

I keep one side of the board filled with tasks, the other side I use as a scratchpad.

Obviously some of the notes I take on the whiteboard get translated into JIRA, emails or whatever, but that's only when other people are involved.

I believe that discrimination narrative is largely based on test scores. Which are, and it took me decades to come around to this, fairly biased. Outcomes have been shown to be pretty equal regardless of relative experience (and comparable ability) pre-college.

And I’m less biased cause I’ve seen more and made pretty much every mistake a high test-score, arrogant white or Asian guy can make :).
> nor does anyone that isn't a large cloud provider need a custom solution like monarch

I'm not actually sure that's true. It's like many other things inside Google - people outside don't necessarily understand the value or know what's actually possible, because they've never experienced anything similar. It's sort of like trying to discuss the finer points of the taste of oysters with someone who has never tasted them.

I would very much like the feature set of Monarch (and streamz), without the maintenance overhead or even insane scale. Very, very few companies out there need to run anything at anywhere near "billion-user" scale, but literally all of them could benefit from painless and detailed monitoring that Monarch offers.
I wouldn’t consider any of these “features” to be brilliant. Might make things somewhat better in a pure Enterprise/Windows environment, but nothing that couldn’t easily be solved with a couple of extensions.

Parent commenter's account was compromised.

Are you assuming its SendGrid's fault the account was compromised? I'd assume the opposite.
The Game of Life is a fun toy, but ultimately unproductive. It does not inherently lead to anything else either; the entire field is a dead end (no matter what Stephen Wolfram says). And, what’s worse, people more or less knew this at the time, and still they let most of the best minds of a generation, as it were, be absorbed into doing nothing but the equivalent of mental navel-gazing.
> you liable for damages that you have caused

only if you did something illegal. You cannot be sued for more than you own in a civil suit.
I find that the main takeaway is that the time/space/complexity tradeoff dimensions become immense with even modest Moore's Law scaling improvements.

On the actual back-in-the-day Apple II at time of release, you probably did not get a configuration that maxed out RAM and storage because it just cost too darn much. But as you got into the 80's, prices came down, and the Apple could expand to fit with more memory and multiple disks, without architectural changes.

As such, a lot of the early microcomputer software assumed RAM and storage starvation and the algorithms had to be slow and simple to make the most of memory, but Apple developers could push the machine hard when ignoring the market forces that demanded downsizing. It was a solid workstation platform. When the 16-bit micros came around the baseline memory configuration expanded remarkably, so completely different algorithms became feasible for all software, which made for a substantial generation gap.

By the 90's, the "free lunch" scenario was in full swing and caching became normalized, and so everything has been about faster runtimes, but at systemic scale, with layers of cache, it's often hard to pinpoint the true bottleneck.
What have you been doing to fight against it?
The piece has pathos and is funny and feels universal, but I cannot help but think the truth is somewhat diminished when its author is published by The New Yorker!
Wait a moment, how do you get from 5 cents + 1.3% to the 10-20% range all of a sudden?!

Electricity and processing power aren't that expensive.

They'd probably do just fine if they'd lower the fee to 10%, and stop enforcing that you don't have third-party payments.
>But it’s probably unavoidable for men to derive some degree of self-worth or self-esteem from the difference between zero and non-zero, which is the situation under discussion.

I don't see why that's unavoidable. Humans have shown tremendous development in overcoming their (what was assumed to be insurmountable) biology and associated reponses, and of course the cultural factors which influence responses through upbringing. Perhaps we should feel empathy for those people, but I think it's a mistake to think it is immutable. Most Buddhist monks, for example, do not consider being or not being a virgin, much less having an active partner recently, to be worth of much status.
Strictly speaking, I’m splitting hairs.

When there's the internet, why would you sell any software title at Target?

It seems like Apple still likes to give some antiquated metrics for how much cheaper iOS is compared to retail software, but it's never explained why that's the metric.
> Totally different dynamic vs. the App Store.

What's the difference?

BTW, Apple regularly sells app store "dollars" at a loss. I once bought a $200 app store gift card for $165 at Costco.
That's a fair point, but Apple always has the option of changing their fee structure to a fixed amount plus a percentage, to reflect their actual costs plus some reasonable markup. If they charged a fee like $.50 + 5%, credit card fees should be less than half of that for any transaction size, so they'd have plenty left to cover any other costs like bandwidth.

I don't know what discount retailers expect on gift cards, but I would guess that in the range of a couple percentage points, otherwise networks like Visa would lose money on those sales.
Why? What evidence do you have that tools and skills are more important than marginal cost? It is less convenient, I agree with that, but the bulk of users live close to an Apple store. The other approach is overnight shipping service that Apple makes really easy to do. Call an 800 number, get an overnight box from Apple, send it off.

The other benefit is that Apple will make sure they all get recycled. I don't know this as a fact, but it seems that most of the folks who want to jump on this as evidence that Apple is evil are the same people who are willing to spend a bit more for greener solutions in general. Having Apple replace and recycle is greener than having millions of users tossing old batteries into trash cans. (Don't kid yourself, this will happen if iPhone batteries are easily replaceable.) Yes, there is some marginal cost for this ecological advantage. But it seems like a good tradeoff to me at least.

My 6s is 5 years old. Had the battery replaced once so far. Going strong running the latest OS. $49 for 5 years of use. Not too bad.

All in all, I just have a hard time understanding all the emotional anger over this issue. It is just not a big deal in practice (in my experience). I guess it has been a problem for others, although I wonder if the angry folks actually have iPhones. To each their own.

Sounds to me like you want data warehousing/Online Analytics Processing tools, but you don’t have a DW/OLAP environment.

I’m not sure what kind of tools you could bolt onto SQL databases to make them more useful in this kind of context.

You might be better off exporting all your data on a regular basis to real DW databases and then using their tooling.

I’m sorry that I don’t have any better answers for you.
