The private certificates that sign our binaries are tightly controlled and not accessible to our servers or our GitHub accounts, so the scenario you're describing could only happen if an attacker compromised our Github account and our private signing certs (gaining access to our back end servers wouldn't help an attacker at all).

Of course, no system is invulnerable to any attack. But in practice, Doppler's architecture implies a much larger degree of trust (any server breach = secrets compromised) than EnvKey's (servers can be fully breached and secrets still aren't compromised). Doppler looks like a great product in many other ways, but I do think it's important for users to fully understand the risks they're taking.
Something else that no one has touched on is the asshole dilemma. Something that cops already deal with - sometimes there are just assholes that piss off a lot of people. And because of those assholes there ends up being a lot of people searching for them. Trying to find where they live so they can throw eggs at their car or whatever. Most people don't actually throw eggs at said car.

But hey, this person is pissing off a lot of people, what are the chances that someone does actually murder them? Well, higher than non-assholes. And now you have a murder investigation that may include adding suspects that just fucking hate the guy, but had in no way murdered them. But Google Searching for their address the day before may tell the cops opportunity, and motive isn't hard to get shortly after. That kind of association is what cops will take to court and likely wrongly convict someone on.
good thing its much easier to project future billable hours compared to actually delivering value quickly in 2020 ^.^

This is a very serious problem, and Apple’s role in it is ambiguous at best.

It’s also paradoxically why we need a real open alternative and not state regulation of App stores.
That’s a very paranoid way of looking at things.
Signalling support for the status quo would involve something more active, eg “wooo, go status quo!!” on a banner.

Maybe they have different priorities than you and just want to make money. Not everything is political.
With a severance package that good, I could be tempted to take this as an opportunity to switch jobs.

I suspect that many of these employees aren't motivated by politics, but instead by money.

I feel like I would raise this fact repeatedly, if i was trying to make my case.
Again, that's an argument for improving the existing system not throwing it out and letting anyone launder any amount of money they want to isnt it?

- We agree money laundering is bad.

- We agree that the existing system is attempting to solve the problem, but isn't always effective.

- You're saying: throw it all out and let anyone launder anything they want.

- I'm saying that's strictly worse. Let's shore up the existing system and try and take it on.
Could you elaborate a bit more on this? I see your edit where you highlight that the bank doesn't screw you and you have more transparency, but to my knowledge the nature of a decentralized cryptocurrency should have that same effect.
I believe COBRA is available for up to 36 months after your employment ends in California by law. As a result, I don’t know how to read “6 months COBRA” from the excerpt of the severance email besides “we will pay 6 months of employer premiums.”

Hmm that's a pretty interesting way of thinking about it, I didn't even consider it from that angle.

As per usual, and especially true in the US, the story is complicated. There was no law on the books that prevented women from signing mortgages in the 60s, but there was systematic discrimination and discounting or ignoring a woman's ability to make good on a loan.

https://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?refe...

> Part I discusses the extent of discrimination against women in this field. It concluded that such discrimination is wide-spread and takes two forms. First, lenders discount a working wife's income when she applies with her husband for a home mortgage. Second, lenders are less likely to make a loan to a single woman than to a man.
Coinbase didn't say "no politics" or "we support the status quo". They just said that the company is focused on cryptocurrency, and won't engage in political causes other than supporting cryptocurrency.

> There is no state, as yet, that can wield unlimited violence throughout the same scope as the uncensored internet.

So a sufficiently motivated state censors the internet. EZPZ. Half the world's already doing it.

Your problem isn't the money, your problem is a tyrannical government. It can and will do whatever it takes, and by virtue of being a large group of people vs. you and your, well, fingernails, no amount of math is going to resolve this situation in your favor. The only thing you can actually do to improve your situation is topple the government. And once you do that, you don't need crypto, do you?
Not just saved Apple, but Apple users too. Wasn’t the “fappening” rooted in hacked iCloud accounts with weak credentials? Imagine what juicy political targets are out there using iPhones syncing with iCloud.
You would have to increase restrictions for the vulnerable group because if you allow them to mix at all (even at today's levels) with the "free spreading" group they are going to have much worse odds than they do today. Since you're intentionally trying to increase the proportion of sick people in the less-vulnerable group. People like the "grandma living with family with school age children" or the "30 year old immunocompromised cancer patient with a roommate" get fucked if all those people around them (and around them, etc) simply go back to normal and you don't more actively isolate them.

This might not be a terrible idea, though, if compared to a several-year-extension of what we have now... because over time, the cumulative probably of exposure for the vulnerable will just keep rising and rising if we stay at something like the status quo.

But... that's where things like vaccine and treatment development come in. If a vaccine makes catching it much less likely in 6 months, or treatment improvements make it much less deadly even for the vulnerable in six months, then it's worth spending another 6 months in the current situation.
CEO Shoptalk – Hard Conversations – How?
The Buck 110 is widely considered a "classic" folding knife, but it is way too clunky and heavy to make a good EDC knife. I have heard lots of good things about the Ontario Rat II, especially the D2 version which you can pick up for about $40, but have never tried it myself. The Rat II is generally considered a good "starter" folding knife. Personally I'd recommend going straight to Spyderco - for $100 you can get something really high quality which you will enjoy and use. I got my brother a Para 3 LW and it set me back $98. He seems to like it.
> When you can not raise prices as fast as your costs are increasing, the only viable option is to lower quality.

If you can't raise prices as fast as your costs are rising, it's a signal the market prefers reduced quality to higher prices for your product.

Deflation certainly isn't going to help you there, especially since it means consumers will expect you to actually drop your prices, with some even deferring purchases whilst waiting, and you'll struggle to borrow money when lenders reason that [i] you'll make less revenue next year and [ii] they don't need to risk lending money for it to be worth more than last year; they can just bury it in the ground...
FWIW, my experience when it comes to Go and its abstraction limitations _is_ in the context of collaborating with others on a team at work. That's where we feel the limitations of abstraction pretty acutely. Because it means we, to a lesser degree, cannot build APIs that are harder to misuse.

The point about having too much power is taken, and I don't have experience with that in a team context. And yeah, I am not exploring the Rust downsides as much here, and there are definitely others.
Saying ‘we don’t want to be an activist organization beyond our business goals, therefore we want to keep political discussions out of the workplace’ is not the same thing as saying ‘my business supports whatever the US government’s stated opinion is’.

Nobody supports the status quo.
> This is a widespread practice in the software industry. Oracle, for example, re-implemented Amazon's S3 API so that customers who built software for Amazon's cloud platform could easily switch to Oracle's rival cloud platform.

Oracle themselves are doing it, could someone with a better legal mind explain to me how this doesn't make the case simpler to decide?

Is it that they're saying, it should be illegal but since it is not we are playing the game by the current rules, but we hope to change those rules?
Indeed. Its a sliding scale from $150 all the way up to $700. (Then a jump to the 3090). Performance scales with price very well in the $150 -> $750 range, you can pick pretty much whatever performance suits your budget. (Especially as the "last gen" models drop in price to the levels associated with their performance)
Nothing, AFAIK
Perhaps ... I was not trying to value-judge the carrying of expensive knives for non-critical everyday tasks; that's fine. I was questioning recommending newcomers to spend so much to find out if they enjoy knives. :)

This idea of "everything is political" is why the discourse went to shit, now nobody can catch a break from politics, and if you had enough and don't want to take part then you instantly gets attacked for "supporting the status quo".

There are tricky problems here as well.

In direct democracy, a decision still needs to be made on what to vote on. As an example, if you look at California propositions, these aren't necessarily all that well drafted. Often propositions are created by business interests and approved by people coming out of stores who aren't thinking very carefully about what petitions they sign.

And after that point, you're putting an algorithm is in charge of making the final decision. This isn't necessarily better than having a leader in charge, because the leader can maybe think of creative compromises and the algorithm can't.

If you study voting systems you'll see they all have flaws, and they are all very simple-minded algorithms compared to people. Whether they actually capture the "will of the people" is impossible to say since the "will of the people" isn't really a thing. There are just people with a lot of different opinions.
He's not passively stating no politics he's actively discouraging any politics. There is a slight difference.

If you become friendly with a person in the workplace you'll eventually learn their politics, right? Either through how they act or what they say. How do you limit how much a person reveals about themselves at work?

The CEO is saying Coinbase won't take political stances. That's fine in theory but in practice it's not. The whole idea of cryptocurrency itself is political.

There is a difference in being passively apolitical and actively apolitical for sure.
Ah, no, you have it backwards: any sufficiently advanced bomb is indistinguishable from technology. See the cache weapons in Revelation Space, you could basically have a conversation with the trigger AI (the weapons were so destructive, they needed AIs to make judgement calls about their use).

Just wanting to make money is political because it means the environment has been configured in such a way that you can do so. If you make money in the position of a manager or boss, it is even more strongly political as you are using the configuration of the political system to direct societal resources at your whim to make money.

If some of the tags were common, then they could be used by the user to filter content.

I'm in my mid-50s, and I still have a hard time not accidentally using a phrase that others might consider rude because I've been using it all my life and don't really think about what it actually might mean.

My company (not an owner) is a services based company with yearly agreements. We bake in price increases annually with inflation.

If you are not a business running on fixed agreements, you have the right to increase your prices whenever to accommodate your costs. If your idea is that consumers will just go somewhere cheaper, then it works upstream too - you have the option to source your products / goods from somewhere cheaper as well.

If there is no cheaper alternative for you, then there must be no cheaper alternative for your consumers, unless you aren't operating your business in an efficient manner. In which case the market will either force you to, or you will lose your business.

You're right, if you don't have a family and don't have _any_ paycheck deductions, don't pay _any_ taxes, and use numbers 33% below the average cost, it seems small.

Survey of purported 2019 data shows $570 * 12 = $6,840 for individual, $19,000 for family (for some reason, no monthly cost there)

So lets say you only pay the feds income tax, and don't bother with medicaid, social security, state income tax, 401K, any other witholdings whatsoever - you'll earn 85% of $160,000, or $136,000. Divided into 26 paychecks, $5230 biweekly.

If you're single, yearly premium would be covered by 2.6 weeks of work, or 11% of your severance. If you have a family, 7.26 weeks of work, or 30% of your severance.

> Do you really care about the longevity of the taxi company whose cars you are riding in?

Not that particular company no, but the longevity of taxi service in general, yes. Although, it depends on why I'm riding in a taxi. If it's an occasional ride, it's not a big deal if taxi service disappears, I can pay for long term parking at the airport, or call a friend, or something. If it's an everyday ride, loss of service means a big change.

The danger of using a Google service is two-fold. The obvious part is, you might get used to it, only for it to be dropped. But also, they may run competitors out of business before dropping it, leaving you without any options.
I think they only claimed to be apolitical in matters that don't affect the company's core business.

Is that truly a stumbling block? I ask because English is not my native language. Around the time I learned English in high school I also became interested in computers, which to me then meant programming in BASIC. It took an embarrassingly long time for me to realize that e.g. GOTO was actually formed from 'go to' -- to me, "GOTO <n>" just meant that program flow would continue at line <n>, nothing more, nothing less. "IF" was just a mnemonic introducing a conditional branch, etc. . I didn't perceive my poor grasp on English as a hindrance in learning to program (as thankfully introductory text were available in my native language). Of course, you need a good handle on the language, when communicating with co-workers (and all code is communication), but that came much later.
Correct, but both are political statements. "We don't want to be involved in the political discussion" is just as political as "we want to be involved in the political discussion".
Things like WINE or NES emulators or the like would fall very comfortably into fair use.

Yeah, technically there are 2 L1 caches; x86 is a 'Modified Harvard' architecture. The instruction cache also typically has to deal with caching micro-ops. I believe L2 and beyond store both instructions and data. There's also cache associativity, where the the same location in memory can be stores in one of N locations, which can differ per level. I think L1 caches are typically more associative because that takes extra silicon per byte. It looks like Zen 2 at least has an 8 way associative L1 cache.
