What does the dedicated case have to do with starlink? It will be completely oversubscribed once they are out of beta, or they simply don't make money. So the original comment stands in that latency will vary.
I should have phrased that differently; my understanding is that the problem isn't whether renewable energy is relatively affordable, it's whether it beats natural gas plants, and that so far the generation part does but the storage does not--the reason Germany's removal of nuclear energy resulted in an increase in fossil fuel use.
A tectonic reason that might have become an obvious environmental reason if that were to occur, yes, exactly.
> To be fair, they fully control the library they’re using, as they have their own x509 library and API in Core Foundation. But it also supports CRLs so I’m somewhat circumspect this is the reason.

yes. if of course it's their library. But I assume the caller was just calling some (imaginary) function like

validate_cert(cert, ENABLE_ALL_CHECKS);

and that was it.

That ENABLE_ALL_CHECKS would then go out to check the OCSP server was probably not immediately known or was just seen as something that's part of, well, enabling all checks without much additional thought.

Whether the certificate also lists a CRL endpoint and whether that imaginary ENABLE_ALL_CHECKS also checks that I don't know, but possibly neither did the person who called that (imaginary) function.

Heck, the function might even default to ENABLE_ALL_CHECKS internally at which point the author of this code in question might not even have been aware of the network calls.
I think the one take from this short talk is this; "History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes" (M.Twain). Walking your own path is always important when it comes to creativity, whether it is about pursuing billion dollar startup ideas or writing a unique song.
Honestly, I'm just disappointed it's legal to tell people about a new purchase. For the same reason, it should really be illegal. Keeping up with the Joneses should be punishable by death.

Since Bloom filters allow for false positives, wouldn’t that make them inappropriate here? You wouldn’t want a valid certificate to be perceived as revoked. (I recognize that I’m probably wrong, given that Mozilla is doing this - where is my mistake in logic?)
I'm sure the thief stole them out of greed, but didn't know who to sell to. Now the people buying and owning those books keeping them in their private collections, they typically do this out of vanity I would argue similar to people owning expensive art (although some do this also purely for investment).

A great book talking about the secret work of rare books is "the club dumas", which I highly recommend. The movie was quite bad on the other hand.
That’s the theory perhaps. The practice OTOH would disappoint.
Right, but isn’t the issue then “I can trick a system service to do the malicious thing for me”? Apple’s apps are absolutely not secured against being convinced to make arbitrary outbound connections.
This IP logging might not be legal under GDPR, Apple did not need the IP for this purpose of revoking a certificate and it was proven that almost all user had no idea that this even happens each time they launch an app. But the cherry on the cake is that all of this was not encrypted so even if a users would have accepted this stuff with the TOS dark pattern they did not accepted that this data would be visible but third parties.

A few years/months ago this would have been considered a conspiracy, today is just fine for most because "think about my mother" , I agree with the secure by default but don't forget that when Apple decides or is "forced" to remove an application you have no workaround on iOS around that and this "feature" will come to the laptop and desktop if users don't demand it and keep bringing the mom argument.
Well, how can I say this? Welcome to Italy, my friend. The country that gave the world Leonardo and Galileo and Michelangelo, and the country where these things happen, where a police force has a few Lamborghinis (I was overtaken by one, nearby Rome, ~15 years ago) that regularly travel well above 100mph even if it's not necessary, whose cost would cover several "normal" police cars. And a country where sometimes when there is a problem and an "Italian-style" solution, that solution is implemented. Helicopters? Kidneys can stay in ice for several hours? Who cares, the police transported a kidney at 250 km/h, and proudly tweeted about it.

I'm Italian; I am fully authorized to make some fun of my own country. But, before you say "absolutely reckless", you should know that the "autostrada" between Padova and Roma is very well built, and that the policemen driving the Lambo are really good drivers. A bit reckless? Maybe. There's worse in the world.

If you can do it (without a trip to a recovery boot), then malware or spyware can do it. That’s the point.
That would be better than what we have here, though, where every application launch gets checked. The fallback with a Bloom filter is that you check a few apps, not all of them.

Right. So maybe the best comparison could be done by not dragging one country, but selecting 2 (or another small number) and having them "fly" over each other or next to each in an "ideal" projection for this country. For most but the huge countries distortions should not be that big. The problem is the world map. Distortions will always be big somewhwere if you want to see 180 countries on the same map. But at the same time nobody wants to compare 180 countries.

In 90% of the US the highest is 70mph in perfectly fine straight-for-miles interstates. Many are less.

In Italy the autostrada legal limit is already higher at 80/130 (and supercar drivers frequently go much over it).

And of course this is the police, they can make an exception for themselves :-)
Mozilla's solution to this is to run every single certificate in the CT log through the filter, and remedy any false positives with an extra layer. The filter also has a date attached, so potential false positives that are newer than the filter can be checked with OCSP.

It’s better with a trade off. It removes the call-home to Apple, but adds the possibility of false positives for certificate revocation.

Is this in fact the trade-off we’re considering, or am I misunderstanding?
Linux on desktop used to be great, but does anyone get the sense that it is going downhill?

I don't even touch proprietary Nvidia drivers, all my machines are Radeon or Intel GPU and they used to work fine. But currently on Radeon I have to revert back to kernel 4.19 to get sleep to work. On Intel anything newer than 5.6 won't even boot. I don't get it. Maybe kernel devs mostly care about servers and VMs and are letting the desktop stuff bitrot?
I wouldn’t exactly hold up Italy as a paragon of courteous good driving.

Religious faith can lead to positive mental benefits, Stanford anthropologist
I think this is ultimately the best argument in here - that sapience ain't necessarily so great, and any whinging about it being a moral imperative is ultimately just promoting how great intelligence is, which we just happen to dominate in (how very colonial of us). There's not a particular way of being that is any greater or lesser, and there's an inherent value to being that we should respect regardless of "intelligence".

That said... we're not saying we need to respect the natural world any less, or need to force sapience on all animals. We might just want to give some the ability to reach our level (however good or bad it might be) and converse with them honestly. Otherwise, how are we ever going to have a moral answer on the value of sapience, if we're the only ones who ever have it?
This take misunderstands how effective online advertising works. Effective advertising targets people who are likely to want the product or service already. The idea that ads can change people's minds to get them to buy something they don't want is so wrong. You would waste so much money trying to change peoples' minds. This isn't like Inception. In all my (and people I've read and worked with) experience, you have a chance at profitable ROI when you run ads targeting people likely to want what you're already selling, and just try to make them consider your product or service. You'd be guaranteeing negative ROI trying to change minds.
Protobuf – Serialization and Beyond. Part 1: What’s in It for Your Project
As long as they aren't in a tax bracket over 100%, then, "work[ing] longer / harder / smarter," in fact does result in increasing their net worth. What's the problem, then? That we are asking them to contribute to promoting the general welfare?
It’s interesting there are so many different answers given to this question whenever it is asked. If we asked, “What makes a good surgeon?” or as pointed out in another comment, “What makes for a great basketball player?” it seems that there would be less debate.

It seems to me that this debate is related to another question, “Why do so many software projects fail when you don’t see any skyscrapers collapsing under their own weight?”

If you could build a skyscraper according to rules limited only by our imagination, then perhaps we’d see a lot more of them collapsing. And given that frequency of failure, we’d see a lot more debate about what makes for excellence in skyscraper-building.

Maybe a better question to ask is, “What makes for a poor software engineer?” That question seems a lot easier to answer. A poor engineer takes a long time to write unreadable, unmaintainable, buggy code that only partially solves problems that no one has. Ironically, such code often goes unnoticed by its very nature: it takes a lengthy period of time to even come into existence, when it does exist it is so buggy that its failure seems related to bugs rather than that it solves no problems, and the unreadable nature of the code is mistakenly attributed to essential complexity rather than incidental.

And that last point is where I think we get closest to an answer: Good engineers reduce complexity. Bad engineers magnify complexity.

Tolstoy wrote, “All Happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” It seems to me that the same could be said of software engineers.

Can't speak for the OP but I read "hard working" in double quotes as something that's not the same as someone who spent a lot of time perfecting their craft. So in the Dilbert sense of the word.

I do notice the paper defines it as "someone who is willing to work for more than 8 hour days to deliver the software product". I'm thinking meh. I think hard work at some point is a requirement to achieving excellence in most disciplines, in something like martial arts, or music, pretty much everyone I consider to be great has spent some years where their whole life was the discipline. I'm not really aware of someone who got there by raw talent without the practice (there might be examples). My experience with software engineering is similar.

However that's not the same as saying you'll become great by working 10 hour days, i.e. that sense of "hard working". You need to be in the right mindset.

Also this sort of folklore is cool but you have to consider the context, great musicians are not necessarily great in any style of music or with any instrument. That said, some people are surprising skilled in broad areas and the skills do tend to transfer within the discipline to some degree. On top of that, to the novice, an intermediate may be considered great. You really need to have some perspective to be able to recognize greatness and appreciate it.

EDIT: random btw is that most 6 string guitar chords work just as well with a missing string. Most simple chords have 3 notes in them and so with 6 strings there's enough redundancy. If you know where the root, third and 5th are in the chord (which most intermediate guitar players know) you'll immediately know whether the missing string removes any of those (even if it does the chord will still sound fine, you don't necessarily need all those 3 notes). Transposing on the fly is a little harder, but you don't really need to be a master to do that... So stuff like that may seem like magic but isn't necessarily so... Playing by ear is cool, usually people who start playing young are better at this, especially if this is how they started. This skill, to some degree, is also reasonably common...

Your post is misleading on so many levels:

* It was not a flawless launch, there were (minor) issues.

* NASA's inability to deliver humans into orbit was a temporary one

* Technological advances are not a given, as both the past shows and Elon Musk is saying all the time.

Seeing how many science libraries are simply throwing away so many historically significant math books, I'd say that quite a few of these "vanitous" people may be simply concerned about their conservation. A similar thing, in a much larger scale, may happen for art. As they say, today's thief is tomorrows conservator.

Your average person knows nothing about technology, or advertising, or ethics. They have a hazy understanding of cookies, have no idea how real time bidding works, certainly cannot define ROAS, and could not differentiate between deontological and utilitarian theories. They have no understanding of how much Facebook earns per year from the average Western user, and virtually nobody would actually pay that to use Facebook ads-free (even if Facebook offered that option, which they have no moral obligation to do). This is just another hit piece against the boogeyman "surveillance capitalism".
Oh, for sure - we can debate whether it's misguided or not, but it's definitely nice that the city is putting so much effort into this sort of outreach, and they seem to be serious about the program. People poo-poo the $10k number, but that must have been hard to sell to a city council.

I'm more curious about how many of the applications are serious, and how many are reactive to the current situation. There's nothing wrong with seeking stability over excitement, but I sort of worry about people envisioning the whole "Great Plains" idyll.
Dispelling bullshit time.

Gout isn't caused by what you eat, it's an underlying problem with your kidneys/liver/body and an inability to extract uric acid. It can be exasterbated by drinking beer, dehydration, red meat etc.

Saying it's caused by what you eat is a bit like saying peanuts cause peanut allergies, or eating gluten causes coeliacs. You already have the condition, the things you eat makes it worse.

I've been suffering with it since I've been a teenager.

About ten years ago, I thought to myself, "Man, if I just reallocated all the time I spend fighting against Windows towards learning and customizing a Linux install, I'd have both a functioning OS, and an OS that I actually like!". I haven't looked back.

It used to take work and knowledge to use Linux as a daily driver, like you would Windows. But Linux has matured, and now all of the things you expect to work just do work.

And, aside from doing any .NET projects, EVERY programming endeavor I've worked on in Linux has been an absolute breeze. 98% of the time, everything I need is just an "apt install" away, configures correctly, and runs correctly. There is no reason for Windows to exist anymore.
Basketball has almost an endless list of examples of superior talent not excelling compared to those with less talent (this is objectively measured physically, where a player with clear physical advantages doesn’t reach full utilization). There’s graveyards of these cases.

There are 6’6 bums in the NBA, top draft picks, that had less of a career compared to say a 5’3 Mugsy Bogues.

In Basketball, part of your greatness is how well you optimized for the cards dealt to you.

Tech is not that much of a meritocracy like sports, it’s a way to have a living. I’d almost say, the tech industry is not equipped to assess greatness. Since it’s literally people’s livelihoods, we won’t (and shouldn’t) try to analyze this. In sports, if you come out of a top school as a top draft pick, fans will eventually say ‘hey you are a top draft pick but you do about the same thing as someone that went way later in the draft’. We in tech won’t ever go ‘look Facebook, your app looks like the same shit everyone else builds’. It can’t hold up to that scrutiny.

Open source is probably the only place where you can objectively assess.

It’s not a competition, because if it was, and tech was a sport, fans would tear it up as to what is a 10x engineer. Speaking as a sports fan, they are savage.
Lack of proper RDP-like experience is also a dealbreaker for me.
