There was a shoe bomber who almost took down an airplane. [1]

Shoes, when they are not inspected, are rational places for people to hide explosives.

While it may or may not be a 'valid' tool, it's not rational to say it's 'pointless' when it's literally a known - and used - vector of attack.

It's not 'pointless' - the question is, 'is it a good policy given the likelihood of attack, the effectiveness of 'shoes through the scanner as a means of thwarting, other tradeoffs' etc..

Quick question of you're not meant to use env for secrets then how are you meant to get secrets into your application?

What's the best way to handle this?
You mean a desktop app that you need to download, install, and during the installation potentially give some privileges that can harm your computer.. then you are trying to install and it doesn't have the right dependency so it asks you to find some random thing to get it working. Then you do get it installed, but don't know where it installed to so you have to go searching for it. Then you get it up and running and it works fine. You play with it for 5 min. 2 months later you come back to it and want the newest version, so you have to download an update, because the auto-update feature was blocked by your firewall. Then you get it updated and running. A couple days later you decide not to use it, so you go to uninstall it. The uninstaller fails for who the f knows why so you delete the folder on your drive, but your OS still think it's installed. So you figure out how to manually remove it.

The other OEMs will have to retool, yes. However, Tesla must construct brand new factories if they start shipping Ford-quantities of cars. Constructing brand new factories takes more capital than retooling, especially since EVs are a lot simpler than IC cars.

The established players have massively more capital and expertise making reliable cars.
Do you realize all those are wishes, not plausible technology right now? Fusion power has more problems than just magnets needed to be kept cold. MRI machines are a niche thing, sure they could get cheaper but why should average Joe care? Computers don't get just magically faster. Computers need semiconductor switches and those operate based on energy dissipation, you can't just remove that and get a better computer. Maglev trains are overpriced gimmick and lossless transmission would be nice but current estimate of energy losses is like 5%, negligible part of the cost.

In the sense lots of people talk about it as something important, but it is never actually seen or used.

> 25-40% more for night shifts, more for sundays and holidays

I see. So (assuming you're speaking from Germany) is this the reason why e.g. 24-hour supermarkets and convenience stores don't generally exist, but factories do? i.e. supermarkets would not be profitable to have night shifts with those massive overtime figures, but factories remain profitable despite that?

The website is fantastic. Did you use a template to create it? Is it using some platform for checkout? I would love to know. Also if you can share the process of publishing a book like this end-to-end (writing, publishing, hosting, marketing etc.) it would be an invaluable read. I want to publish a book in my field, but not sure how to go about it. Thanks.
But this is not a decision they made based on anything their fact-checkers told them. This is a decision they’re making before they get the results of the fact check. Andy Stone did eventually follow up with a clarification:

> This is part of our standard process to reduce the spread of misinformation. We temporarily reduce distribution pending fact-checker review.

So apparently this is a standard process, but the process is kind of ironic in that it claims to farm out this decision to a neutral-as-possible third-party, when really they first have to make a preliminary decision internally.
Yes, definitely. I'll edit the parent to reflect.
I guess it's due to a relatively new, high-skilled profession, but on the other hand, still unregulated. Without a "bar" (like in law), a lot of work will go into screening individuals on a relative basis.

1. The Bhagavad Gita is a completely unreadable rant that provides ZERO tangible information without a 1000 interpretations, like many other religious texts. Except it's the worst offender. Though, Oppenheimer did make it sound way cooler than it is.

The 4 noble truths / the 8-fold path are a breath of fresh air in comparison.

2. Lacking desire and detachment from desire is pure semantics, as the goal is not to desire the object of your desire. See how redundant that statement is?

Essentially, Buddhism is about apathy. Why? Because poor people in India at the time of the rich-kid prince had no way to address suffering through action.

Being a Christian monk / ascetic is the same thing as being a Buddhist - escape from the real world.

I've experienced an unlock demand immediately after passing through TSA to get on a domestic flight. Had I refused I surely would have missed my flight and probably the wedding I was trying to get to. Maybe the consequences would have been even worse than that, but that alone was enough to coerce my compliance.
Just my opinion but it sounds like you're making a lot of additional manual work for yourself with little to no benefit.

I could understand if you were able to maybe monetise the contact information you collect but as you said you delete everything once you validate it seems you are validating just for the sake of validating?

For example how would you deal with someone out of work due to COVID and wanting to use this time to retrain and get into the software engineer field? I can't imagine they would care about (or even know about) having a LinkedIn profile with zero related employment, no contacts to network with, etc.

I know I am being a little 'difficult' with my question and I am not criticising I am just interested on your thought process more than anything.

Update: Just realised you edited your original reply so my reply doesn't make quite as much sense now :)

I think your direct email option is good. If it were me I would automate the direct email with a little bit of weak validation such as "please explain in one or two sentences your situation" then anyone who emails with a few words are automatically validated and any blank or one word emails are either auto-deleted or put aside for manual validation.

Just an idea though. I figure posting to HN means you wanted a little feedback :)

Best of luck with your book. I don't have a need for it right now (thankfully) but I hope it helps others as it appears you have a put a lot of thought and work into it.

And reported budgets don't include marketing. The rule of thumb is that a reported $40M movie will have $40M spent on marketing, so if you hear a movie broke even, it really means that it lost an amount equivalent to its entire reported production budget.
No, cliffhangers are not bad writing. It's a literary technique like any other.

> The title is misleading

The HN title certainly seems to be. My understanding is that 9th circuit opinion was talking about the bulk phone metadata collection program (which used to be enabled under section 215 and even done before ("stellar wind")), not about 702 collection. But that 702 collection is certainly part of PRISM as we understand it.

> It's my reading that pertains specifically to the case before the court and not a conclusive determination about the entirety of the PRISM program.

I understood it to be somewhat generally about bulk metadata collection under 215 (which is not all of PRISM).
Really? I see it the opposite way. Considering they already got in trouble once for claiming they were E2E when they really weren't, why would they risk having the same thing happen again unless they're actually intending to do it right this time?

If they were to get caught a second time not actually doing E2E, the fallout would be considerably worse than the first time. Especially since the first time they explained it away as an accidental misuse of the term rather than actually trying to pull a fast one--when I do tend to believe.

Absolutely legal. Night and sunday/holiday shifts get extra compensation, and there have to be at least 11h between shifts. This is nothing new in Germany, shift work is normal in a lot of fields.

Different laws regulate store opening times.
Tailscale isnt a deny first, allow based on role/condition type product.

You can't hide from everything (not that I intend to hide at all) but you can definitely improve your situation. As white guy, u benefit basically everywhere. Know who doesn't? Women. Know where they have more benefits than in the US? Almost everywhere. Why should we stay and fight something that us so obviously unbalanced when we can walk away and let it burn behind us? How is that my responsibility? Or my wife's? Or my daughter's? We've built a world that's so obviously not for them, that thinms they're literally thought if as incapable of making decsions for themselves, that have no chance to come out ahead (rare exceptions do not make the rule). Even worse if you're a woman of color. It's not "uncomfortable," as your condescending response claims, it's fucking dangerous. That you can't see that indicates that your pedestal is too high.

Let it fail. After the fires are out and it's time to rebuild, I'll lend a hand. Until then, good luck. I'm done with this mess.

OK, but that has nothing to do with how end to end the encryption is. PGP pretty much set the standard for the concept.

BTW, in practice few people get any benefit out of forward secrecy when used for E2EE messaging as they tend to keep their old messages. Forward secrecy protects against the disclosure of the private key used in such systems. If the attacker can get at your private key then they pretty much for sure get your saved messages.

I talked about this in a series of PGP advocacy articles I recently did:

Yeah, Echo's probably a perfect example of doing this right, and honestly, the more I'm thinking about this, the more I'm realizing Amazon's doing this stuff surprisingly well.

And it's probably down to that: Commitment. Amazon is doing a few different things like AWS, but anything they're doing that's an honest-to-goodness "platform" other people build their stuff on, gets kept alive long enough to either let people build things that matter, or they give people plenty of heads-up that a business is going to get wound down.
> I think the main idea is to realize that aging is a disease we all have and it's lethal and we aren't doing enough to combat it.

> We should be desperate and taking desperate measures to fight aging tooth and nail.

On a social level I think this is wrong for the same reason it is often wrong to desperately scrap at extending life on an individual level: the expected return in terms of life extension does not warrant the expected cost in terms of immediate quality of life.

Probably either via a third party service (such as AWS secrets manager), or mounted as files scoped to the user your process is running as (which is not root, right? :) ).
I think Showtime should have followed this. Usually the first season is spectacular, and it's almost as if the writers are surprised it is renewed, but they wasted their best material on season 1.

Weeds Season 1 was amazing, the rest not so much. Dexter, season 1 should have just been a single season, sooo good, after a while you wonder how many serial killers reside in Florida. Billions, season 1 amazing, it hasn't been too bad after, but after a while it just starts to seem forced.

> I tried accepting that there a things I can’t control and adopt a more stoic approach to it all

This stood out to me. It isn't about being stoic. Simply enduring a job is not healthy. Instead, take a hard look at your personal goals. Do the negative aspects of you job prevent you from doing your part well, getting your check and supporting your family? Does a power-tripping, political co-worker prevent you from supporting your family, or are they just annoying?

Maybe the change in perspective is not trying to be stoic, but thinking about it in another way. If you ask yourself, "Would I put up with this for $X/hour?", and the answer is yes, then your problem isn't with the people, it is with your compensation. If your answer is no, then your problem is with the people, and you should find a different environment.

In other words, don't fret over annoyances that are not actually stopping you from reaching your goals. The corporate world is flawed. People are flawed. Accepting that while still defining your own goals and sticking to boundaries that make sure your progress towards your goals often will often let the flaws of a job be less bothersome.
I wouldn't rule out extremely high internal pressures in static materials as a future research direction. Prince Rupert drops reach a pressure of 700 Megapascals, roughly 2-3 orders of magnitude less than the required pressure for this experiment. I'd imagine that more advanced processes and materials can already manage internal pressures substantially greater than the Prince Rupert Drop.
Can you describe your situation in more detailed way ? because I experienced similar situation and want to compare my experience with others.

It's understandable the issue brought up, but the history of the company we are talking about (and not just generalize!) must be considered.

Is HashiCorp known to do this?

All I've heard are good things about HashiCorp from people who use HashiCorp products.

Second, it can't be forgotten these are companies. A company exists to create value for itself in some way.

It's the natural behavior of any company.

However in my opinion, "open core" design seems to be very very preferable amongst technologists (myself included). Essentially we are paying for additional features which normally we'd wait years from a sole contributor.
This is such a tiny portion of the high school athletics community that is barely worth mentioning. For the vast majority of students participating in sports the only value a sport provides to college admission is as a extracurricular activity.

I haven't read this before that E2E is a barrier to adaptive audio & video quality. Would you care to elaborate or is there a source I could read up on?
It depends how it is implemented. Most of the time the screen isn't updating. It would only need to rev up when scrolling or similar. When you are watching a video it is probably 30 or 60fps. So it would use more battery, but with a good variable refresh rate implementation it shouldn't be too bad.

There are Android devices that show that it does have a battery cost, but it isn't extraordinary.
no you didn't. you put 1 nano-Ohm resistors in best case scenario, not zero.
? There are actually a myriad of interlocking protocols that help to thwart such activities, to ignore them is not reasonable.

Most poignantly there is literally an Ammonium Nitrate security program. [1]

As for the 'number of truck bombings being zero' ... it did happen and the average is 'more than zero' and when we consider the implications (an entire building and 100's of dead etc.) it's a concern.

Obviously, it's hard to determine the effectiveness of the various programs because they all play a part, but that there haven't been any such bombings since then is at likely a positive sign.
