> which requires keeping the keys secret against a lot of attacks and not losing them

Piece of paper in a safety deposit box (maybe even at 2-3 different banks) would do this just fine, but you'd have to know it was going to be worthwhile enough to have bothered.

> managed to pick the peak to sell at

Just sell bits of it here and there to spread the risk around.
Good movie overall.

I also suggest Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now , by Jaron Lanier

Jaron is in the documentary and makes additional points. Social Media is making you a jerk is a great one.

While he doesn't directly critique Online Dating, he does mention Catfishing and Ashley Madison being mostly bots. If you Google 'FTC sues Match' you'll find bots are very common across the industry.

At least now you can't detach online dating from social media , you need to get your matches to add you on Snapchat so you never actually meet anyone. Just off pure stats, people are more alone than ever before. By design it doesn't work for most people. And what company would want to lose subscribers ?

I found myself an anxiety filled 'lab rat' when using that junk. Deleted all my social media a year or so ago , and I've had no issue meeting great folks since.

Generally I go out to do things I want to do. Everyone that's joined me along the way, including a fellow .net programer, has been a bonus.

All that said, I see it getting much worse before it gets better. Social Media is eventually going to be regulated , but it's already destroyed a generation. Rates of suicide have exploded since Social Media became mainstream.
> Could I write an app that would phish a user into signing a challenge with their security key?

What sort of app? A full-blown Windows/ OS X/ Linux desktop application? Yes.

You definitely should not install software that asks you to interact with your FIDO authenticator in this way unless you really trust it. I trust the Operating System vendor installed OpenSSH packages, I would not trust some random github project.

The two big phone ecosystems won't let you talk directly to a third party authenticator or to their built-in platform authenticator. The authenticator talks to them, and they talk to you. So while it would be possible to make a Windows EXE program that says "Touch authenticator to stroke your 3D pet" or whatever and actually steals your Facebook login credential this way, it should not be possible to put something on Google Play or Apple's iPhone store that does the same thing.

Edited to add: For Android at least there is a concept of "Privileged" apps that get to do stuff that is otherwise impossible to ask a user for permission to do. The ability to fill out WebAuthn-style rpId values (for WebAuthn these are Internet FQDNs) is locked behind such a privilege. So, Chrome has privilege, release builds of Firefox have privilege, and so on, but yet another fly-by-night app developer who uploads Flappy Bird clones to the Play Store can't use this feature.

Without this privilege when you talk to the authenticator (either a platform authenticator or a 3rd party one) the OS will insist on picking an rpId with a platform specific prefix. So e.g. maybe your app can ask for rpId android-584fac03:google.com but there's no way (without privilege) to get just google.com, which is a problem because that's the value you'd need in order to get working Google credentials.

If you want your app to talk to your own web site, you can build a bunch of extra goops (in Android at least) to enable that, but part of what will happen is your web site's backend code needs to explicitly go "OK, I should allow android-584fac03:my-private-app even though that's nowhere close to my actual FQDN" so that seems safe enough.
> I really hate working at home. I don't have enough space or privacy, it

I really my office, I don't have enough space or privacy, or even a window. At home I have a spacious desk with wide windows.

It's almost as if the problem is not office vs home but comfortable space vs shithole.
You don't need to go all the way to Ethiopia to see the harm. Hate speech on Facebook and Twitter is pushing United States dangerously close to civil war, too. People have literally died in this country because of social media radicalization. Perhaps amplifying the fringes wasn't such a swell idea after all.
I have the same language issue. Emacs has a native version of this feature[0] that works great in Doom. TeX mode, where you enter a backslash before the accent (c \ , => ç) is most like C-k in that it requires an explicit keypress. I usually just use one of the language-specific modes because you can then fluidly type diacritics (with modes for prefix or postfix entry) and manually rewrite c, or e’ on the rare occasions such conflicts come up.

Velodyne going public in reverse merger
It's bound to emacs because it is written in emacs-lisp. It's a large, sophisticated codebase that dates back almost 20 years. There is no way it could ever be ported to another language in its entirety: it is very tightly bound into the (also sophisticated) string manipulation APIs available in emacs lisp.
Iirc ot’s easy to find online and pretty short. The ending is pretty haunting, so I recommend everyone read it if it sounds interesting.
Aerial Telescope
I blame FB for setting this bad precedent. Now that they've set the standard for remote compensation every company now has cover to adjust compensation using some flawed cost of living calculator.
> but have you ever been truly poor

If poor people are whom these meddlesome laws are supposed to protect, then draft the laws that way.

Someone who is not poor doesn't want to be screwed over by some protect-the-poor labor law.

E.g. it could be that a freelancer must be considered an employee if they are paid peanuts. If they are amply compensated, then not.

Various other kinds of labor laws could be sensitive to compensation. Nobody should be required to work without a break. But some consultant taking $200/hr from you should probably not be entitled to 8 hours pay for 7.5 hours work, with a paid 30 minute lunch period.

Work safety should be non-negotiable. Anyone working on your site should be safe, highly paid or not.

Seems like there is a pretty strong market force here where it is much easier to recruit employees in cheaper cost of living cities by beating that offer.
By the way if you like I can spread this on another forum too (in the Netherlands)
"stock valuation notwithstanding" Perhaps you were thinking of Samsung Electronics, not Samsung Group.
Yeah, I was aware of that but the way I wrote it was ambiguous, sorry. I meant “even some people who have the chops to maintain complex custom configs are switching to Doom”.
I just enabled OpenVPN server in my router (gl-inet, openwrt-based), transferred the client.ovpn file to my phone, and bam. Whenever I'm away from home, I light up the VPN on the phone, and bam. There's my TheLounge IRC instance and other stuff just as if I was local.

Oh, I also set up a dynamic DNS service on said router, even though my IP address seldom changes, Murphy's law says the most important time for me to be able to tunnel home would be after an outage or something that reassigns the IP.
Yeah, essentially stop hiring ordinary skill in high cost locations. Why would you? Why would you pay $200K to someone in San Francisco for work that can be done for $100K in Alabama? Unless the person in San Francisco is higher skill, in which case they will be hired at a higher level/comp package, which has nothing to do with geography.

Pay adjusted to location is an unearned bonus for people living in expensive areas. People arguing for non-location-adjusted comp want wages to race to the bottom, allowing the people living in the poorest areas to earn that money, which makes sense from a social justice point of view but is going to really suck for the people who have gotten used to earning $200K entry level in San Francisco.
Where are you getting that from?
> org-mode lets you use all of the other Emacs major and minor modes in your document - restricted to sections.

I haven't used org in a non-superficial way for a while. What are you referring to here, src blocks?
Wait - it was OK when ARM was owned by a Japanese company, but suddenly bad when a US company buys them? Being anti-US is not a legitimate point. If anything, nVidia will create new market opportunities and expand existing ones for ARM. They have already said they will be expanding their UK presence. Maybe don't react so emotionally next time.
> but is dreaming for immortality immature? Immortality is the very essence of maturity, it’s purest expression

Assumption of immortality is pretty much the epitome of childish narcissism, coming from a lack of having contextualized oneself in the real world, wanting to be everything, never making a choice, never making sacrifices to matter for others and future generations. It is literally encoded in the stories like Peter Pan, the infinite child, Puer Aeternus.

Humans have lifespans past reproductive age mostly because there is a survival advantage to elders sticking around and helping raising new generations with their wisdom (memetic transfer). Advanced medicine only protracts that a little bit, but we have no evidence that individuals staying alive much longer is beneficial to the survival of species nor meaningful for the individuals. I am not saying that because survival of species is an absolute normativity, but just in order to live as individuals, we also need to survive as species, a type of calculation many of us fail at when it comes to problems like covid or climate change.

> You are failing to provide an adequate argument for death.

Death is the norm. I think the burden is on the immortalist to make an argument why they should live forever. How is their existence justified beyond prolonging their consumptive egocentrism a little longer? What is their value to humanity and themselves? If they are in competition for the same resources with the young ones, who should win?

I think this is precisely the pathology of our times; narcissistic children of narcissistic parents can't let go of their meaning-lacking existences, because they are terrified of death, because their narcissism prevented them from placing themselves in a meaningful life that mattered for more than just themselves. This is a tragedy and not necessarily their fault, but they know that they will stop mattering the moment they stop consuming (death), so few, if anyone, will remember them or what they did beyond one generation.
> Any company with shareholders is accountable first to them (for good or bad) and I'm not sure your board or CFO would agree that paying peak makes sense

Good thing I have neither a board or a CFO.

But to respond directly, I think you're down playing how much of an advantage over paying (as you've put it) can be for acquiring great talent. Great companies are built by great people. Paying them well for the work they're doing regardless of where they live shouldn't be a controversial opinion.

In a post-covid, SaaS based world I just don't see how location matters at all. If I'm in Omaha Nebraska I pay the same amount for an item on Amazon as someone living in downtown San Francisco. The internet flattens.
I see a long TSLA / short NKLA position much safer than just shorting NKLA.

I think the question might just be the ratio of capital.
I've wanted to make a headless audio player for my car, and this power issue has been the bottleneck for me. Additionally, spinning disks and moving cars are a bad combination.

Just last week I bought a 500gb SSD and usb adapter for about $75. My Pi 2 powers it without issue. The only problem I see is that the SSD can get fairly warm, so keeping it in my closed center console probably isn't a good idea.
That came quite honestly as a huge surprise to me. I've never seen this before. Thanks for the heads up!
It seems like people are always overestimating the power consumed by this type of datacenter load, and under estimating the thermal power of transportation. This little tube uses 1/4 of a MW. A nuclear submarine has a roughly 50MW(t) reactor, and there are dozens of those prowling around all of the time.

A really huge datacenter might draw 500MW, but that's only the same thermal output as about 7 airliners.

You could submerge every datacenter on earth and no fish is going to notice.
I love repl.it and want to use it to build and run real apps.

I can’t do that without the hosting component (which afaik isn’t shipped yet) and I won’t write code that locks me into a specific hosting choice, which is what this new “Database” feature seems to be.

Coding to an API of a company that might not be in business in five years isn’t wise, no matter how much you like that company.
> lack of education and aggressive state-actor PsyOps

Are there media which are not susceptible to PsyOps?
(Edit: for example, print or online newspapers, television, etc. They arguably, by setting a higher standard of rational and investigative rigor, produce fewer propaganda sock-puppets but, by that same token, coalesce trust into personages which can, in one fell swoop, be assassinated or—in the case of Ellen Degeneres—persuaded to reiterate state propaganda.)

And, are only state-actors to blame? After all, Facebook themselves were experimenting with emotion manipulation[0], and transnational corporations have at least as sophisticated branding, PR, and propaganda departments.

Nit-pick - that probably wasn't the PE exam. It was probably the FE exam. The FE exam is what you need to pass in order to start the apprenticeship to get your PE. The PE exam is what you take after an apprenticeship in order to get your PE License.

This page has some pretty good info on the whole process: https://www.nspe.org/resources/licensure/what-pe

As someone who took the FE and then went into software, I understand why this is so complicated. The acronyms are hard to understand and the process is very divorced from what software engineers have to deal with in their day-to-day life.
Could mean for EKS. I believe Graviton is still beta there, and not recommended for production.
Thanks exolymph, it's interesting there is no hack for this!
I guess this is why it is not easy for Silicon Valley to be distributed, since VC's are saturated there.
Counter-point: newer, cheaper instance types are often cheaper than the previous generation. An m6g.large is cheaper than a m5a.large is cheaper than a m4.large, etc.
How is Masa Son not in jail?
In some cases, yes.
Yes they will.

That you're unable to defend your ideas because they are "obvious" is unfortunate and a danger to any society where people like you make up the majority.

You like minorities today, tomorrow who knows, you might burn some books, or stores, or people. Depends how you feel like, because consistency is a tool of white supremacy.
I remain a free speech maximalist.

Bad ideas and aggressive state actors (doing "PsyOps" or otherwise) were the norm before social media. I see no hard evidence that social media has made any of these problems much worse, other than making people much more paranoid about state actors and the uneducated. (In reality, the traditional press has seeded much of this paranoia. Traditional press feels threatened by social media competition, and so has spent over a decade now raising the hue and cry about social media's "dangers"; they apparently wish to retain their monopoly on fear- and rage-inducing mind viruses only for themselves.)

Furthermore, I see no evidence that in the absence of free speech, state actors will be less aggressive or people will be more educated. I see plenty of evidence that both would get worse in a regime of restricted speech.
massive short position

I hope you are WELL capitalized to prepare for pain. First, this stock has surely reached HTB status (hard to borrow) and so it is going to be very expensive, prohibitively so depending on timing, to borrow these shares for your adventure for any decent amount of time.

And don't worry, you aren't the only person who will be shorting these shares, which means there's gonna be months of fu*kery going on regarding this company and it's stock. There are already people lining up on the other end of this in anticipation of the fun, and when crazy news hits, or something short term favorable happens, the short squeeze will be on. This is where you are going to need to be well capitalized.

I've decided to play this one in the options market with a defined time horizon. Even though, like the borrowing shares market, there is significant expense associated with this trade because of super high implied volatility, I still think there is upside, with defined risk instead of unlimited risk like straight shorting the shares.

I've decided to purchase 1/15/2021 Calls and Puts on this stock, and let it go to zero in the end.

Good luck.
TBH it's a bit more verbose and less performant than need be, but hey, if it works, rock on! But don't use 'select *' in production code.

Consider next time something like

if exists (select from sometable t1
join sometable t2 on
t1.resource_id = t2.resource_id
and t1.res_id <> t2.res_id
and tstzrange(t1.start, t1.end) && tstzrange(t2.start, t2.end)
where t1.res_id = new.res_id )

Investors usually don't know better about the tech, but this is exactly how Elizabeth Holmes was exposed. In an interview with Forbes she described Theranos's process as (I'm paraphrasing) "a sequence of chemistries". That sounded fishy to John Carreyrou at the Wall Street Journal, so he started his long term investigation into Theranos, and eventually broke the story.

So the short answer is that no, you can't keep investors in the long run, but it takes time for journalists, watchdog groups, and federal agencies to do thorough investigations.
How to Read Aloud

>> You're saying an investor (GM) can be held liable for what the limited liability corporation (Nikolai) did?

> In some cases, yes.

Now I'm curious. Can you give an example?

This[1] is a pretty good overview to piercing the corporate veil. I suppose it's technically possible for a company to be liable for what a company they invest in does, but there would have to be some pretty weird circumstances (for example, if the two companies had substantially co-mingled finances and leadership).

I don't see any of it applying to the GM/Nikola deal.

> nut job fringe elements

This is not, to the best of my understanding, what's actually happening. Such elements are actively cultivated and their reach is facilitated by powerful benefactors. It's not a natural phenomenon. Right-wing populism must be bred and right-wing terrorists must be groomed. It's not simply an inevitable development of environmental factors, e.g. "the shape of the room," or the structure of online discourse. It's a deliberate campaign.

These grooming networks are not organic.

Graviton is GA for EKS as well.

The fact is that having an employee in New York City, in the average case, is worth more than having an employee in Mongolia. They can talk to a customer more easily, given that your customers are more likely to be English-speaking Yankees fans in the Eastern Time Zone than Mongolian speakers in Ulaanbataar. They can go to an event more easily, since there are more conventions in NYC than Mongolia. They can fly to the company retreat more quickly and more cheaply. They can culturally align a product/brochure/email to a target customer more easily than their counterpart because the target customer is most likely to be in a high cost of living area (that's why they're high cost of living... lots of people with lots of money to spend on salaries or SaaS applications). If you need to read a bunch of English text, such as reading through a competitor's annual report or developer documentation, the New Yorker will likely be able to do so more quickly. They are more likely to understand "rich people" references that target customers make, like "I was at the regatta last weekend so I missed your call." There is an advantage to global diversitt for a company serving a global audience, but there are also a lot of reasons to, software engineering skills being equal, prefer the New York employee.
Reputational risk among who? The upper middle class people who poo-poo anyone who doesn't drive a Toyota or Tesla product?

Nobody else is paying serious attention to the R&D ventures of the big automakers or at least if they are they aren't using it to influence purchasing decisions.
Or, like myself, they chose NoSQL because it was much better integrated into their development and production cloud infrastructure than any alternatives.
