One thing that struck me as a bit odd about the starship tests is that they always look like they're on fire, which is unexpected since they're almost entirely stainless steel construction. There doesn't seem to be any flammable material acting as a fuel source!

So... what's burning!?
They may say it was intended to be satire, but regardless of intention it is pretty accurate for some of the population.
We use Okta for a bunch of stuff and I do really love their product. My company did two rounds of evaluation and really loved Auth0 but their product was unfortunately too opinionated about some things which made it difficult to adopt.

I don't know what this means regarding costs but for my place of business we saved money versus hiring people to operate/maintain the system.

> Arguably if you need to prep that much it might not be a good fit. YMMV.

Dear candidate - do not pay attention to this person’s comment. This behaviour is called gatekeeping (not withstanding the backbone-free cop-out at the end with the “ymmv”). It does not account for varied life circumstances & starting points. Prep for as long you need to - and more importantly - want to. In the interview the duration of prep won’t matter.
This is 99.9% of politicians.
I'm deeply interested in these issues as well - the criminal aspect of the CFAA being disconnected from actual harm caused to people is insane to me.

There does seem to be momentum towards a narrow reading of the CFAA when it comes to providing false information against terms of service, though, as per these 2013 analyses... though they fall short of actually giving any guarantees.

On the other hand, a denial of a motion to dismiss in Ticketmaster v. Prestige from 2018 seems to have drawn a distinction between breaching terms of service alone, and being told in a cease-and-desist not to breach those terms; the latter more clearly outlines what would be considered exceeding authorized levels of access.

https://casetext.com/case/ticketmaster-llc-v-prestige-entmt-...

Where does false information end and privilege escalation begin? Can that question depend on whether your privilege escalation is something as simple as "I'm now able to avoid the fine-print contract that I need to watch certain types and customizations of ads in order to access the service?" What constitutes sufficient notice to a user that certain actions are explicitly forbidden, if a C&D does but terms of service do not? All questions that, as far as I can tell, haven't been fully answered.

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by.

There's various reasons for that. First and foremost, the Unity export for the web is quite bloated and very limited. You would use this for the same reasons you'd choose three.js or Babylon.js which are meant for the web.

This is basically an editor for three.js. It provides a framework which simplifies most of the boilerplate and turns three.js into a Unity-like experience with components, prefabs, marketplace, etc.

If you are a web developer, you'd prefer something like this where you can use NPM, Typescript/Javascript and VSCode. If you're a Unity developer wishing to do some WebGL in a web environment most of your skills are easily transferable.

If you're a company building 3D apps/games for the web, it's a lot easier to find and train Javascript/Typescript developers than C# Unity3D developers.

So basically: Multiplatform, meant for the web, familiar environment for web and unty devs, cost efficient and a decade worth of three.js resources along with a big a vibrant dev community.

As a bonus, this is in early development, you can hop on Discord and be a part of the process. I'm always there to assist everyone to the best of my ability.

All the best, and I hope to see you around.

I will 3rd this, this is my major issue with Okta in general. Other than that it's been pretty good for us.
We are building a tool (Katara: https://katara.io) to help with this exact problem. It gives you a structured way to catalog everything in your organisation while enforcing consistency and ownership.

Confluence is a good tool for writing documentation but it gives you no way to enforce that every page of a certain type contains the same information, and it is super easy for a page to get orphaned/outdated without anyone knowing.

Katara sits on top of all of your tools and helps you manage it all.

You start by using Katara to model your org structure, i.e what teams do you have, who belongs to which, and how are they connected. You then create layouts that let you specify for a given type of page what information you expect and in what form, e.g. All product pages must link their API docs, their Jira board and their Figma project, ect. Every team page must contain getting started guides, a link to their support Slack channel, a mission statement, ect.

Then you create pages which are instances of those layouts, e.g a devops team page, product pages, feature pages, ect. Every page must be owned by a team (not an individual) which is backed by your org structure. If a team is disbanded or there is a reorg it’s not a problem, the pages are automatically reassigned (or you can reassign them manually). What’s really cool is that if a page is missing information it will create a task for the owning team to fill it in. You can even retroactively go and update layouts to require that every page of a certain type now contains new information, and all the teams that own a page of that type will be notified.

We essentially want to be the source of truth for your organisation. You still use Confluence to write/store docs, Figma to make design files, Jira for tickets, ect. We just sit on top and help catalog it all. There is no silver bullet to knowledge management but we make it easy to enforce knowledge sharing best practices in your org without a huge coordinated never ending manual effort.

Keen to chat if you are interested, we are looking for pilot customers at the moment :)
> they are questions for Dustin

How are 3, 4, and 5 questions for Dustin? Dustin is supposed to answer "why is Apple such a hardass with loyal Apple customers" for example?

> I’d like him to confirm that he didn’t receive any calls or emails about this.

He did receive emails, which he described in his article. He also described phone calls with Apple that happened after his accounts were disabled, but obviously there was nothing before that. "The first person I spoke to at Apple spent a while researching the issue and then told me there was nothing she could do but escalate the issue, and that I should expect a call “hopefully” within the next day. I asked what the problem might be, and she seemed as confused as I was." https://dcurt.is/apple-card-can-disable-your-icloud-account

> What makes you think it happened ‘fast’?

He purchased the new MacBook Pro in mid-January. Apple sent an "Action Required: Apple Card" email on February 15 regarding the trade-in. The account suspensions started around February 19, "About ten days ago" according to the March 1 article. That seems relatively quick to me. Apple certainly isn't hurting for cash, what's the rush?

> And that his original tweet that Apple disabled his account after just one missed payment, was complete bullshit.

He only missed one payment, and Apple disabled his accounts shortly thereafter. Nobody is disputing those facts. So what's complete bullshit?
Apps are terrible for most men.

1. One day we will need to leave Earth. Maybe sooner than later. Would you rather have a spacecraft or not when that becomes a need?

2. Many rare materials are common in space. Even if we do not leave Earth, being able to bring those to us would do a great deal.

3. What if we discover life through exploring the cosmos?

4. Nobody settled new lands the first time they sailed the ocean (at least not very successfully). Give it a couple hundred years, maybe less, who knows?

5. Do you really not want to explore the universe? In the literal sense of the word?
I genuinely thought they switched to a CGI animation of the landing sequence in that shot. I'm still not 100% sure either way.

Usually what will happen when a company's stock increases is that new offers have a lower # of stock units in the hiring grant. Basically, even if Google is worth $1.5T or $15T they don't change the "total compensation" value of the offer at hand.

Ultimately, if you join and the stock goes up, congrats on your "free" raise!

If Cognito is the AWS offering you're talking about then it doesn't even begin to compete. It's really a terrible product and AWS has misled us about the roadmap multiple times specifically in relation to multi-region support.

When AWS Cognito had it's outage in November, I was quite happy we went with Okta.

Elon Musk believes that it’s important for humanity to not be entirely dependent on Earth for its survival. Whether that’s because we destroy the planet, or an asteroid hits, or there’s a terrible virus and we can’t get people to wear masks, doesn’t really matter. The point is that having a second permanent home would make this far less likely to end the human race. It’s a very unlikely thing to happen, but it’s entirely catastrophic if it does, so an expected value calculation could be argued to show that it’s worth it.

As for not destroying the planet, that’s what his other big company is working on.

I’m not fully on board with his reasoning here, and don’t agree with many of his beliefs, but he is quite explicit and consistent about these reasonings and I don’t think it’s the worst outcome.
US infrastructure gets C- from engineers as roads stagnate
That might be a notion too drenched in game theory.

The filibuster itself is not some sort of switch that gets flipped. The parties need to be careful how often they use it and for which reasons. It's just a part of the procedural possibilities and its effectiveness is not some sort of set-in-stone rule.

In our particular case right now, the reason the Senate does not allow us single-party rule is due to the makeup of the senators themselves. It only takes a few to not vote down the party line to negate single-party rule. We've seen this a few times already since the start of the new administration.
I bet they got good telemetry data from something in the upper part of the starship, after it got kicked up into the air, right until it crashed down again.
The problem is that Google, FB, Microsoft and all the other "auth providers" are able to deliver a good and free auth service because it's subsidised by their other products.

Whereas Okta, Auth0, etc. cannot, since that is their product. So they have to charge.

Given network effects, a free auth system will always beat a paid one, except where the user is compelled to use it. (e.g. you want to use my SaaS product? You'll have to create an identity in my private auth system).

So I don't think these products (and I'll include KeyCloak which is fricking awesome) really compete as such with the FAANG offerings.
It depends on if you are optimizing for money, work-life balance, interest, impact etc.

If you want the money... you can't beat the highly profitable big-tech companies.

If you want small teams, deep ownership of the projects you work on, and like being invested in your product/company you might enjoy a start up more.

(also this isn't a dig at big companies, it's just way harder to match the start-up/small co. experience)
>and one could imagine thieves paying a token amount for something in order to claim it is not theft.

A lot of countries already have this. There's an additional tax on media storage devices such as CDs, HDDs etc. The money is then given to some copyright association that supposedly hands some of it out to the content creators.
Surviving extinction-level events like asteroid strikes likely requires an off-planet human civilization.

But I do share your concerns about humans neglecting their ideal habitat, and think we need to be careful about mistaking efforts like colonizing Mars as some kind of panacea abdicating any responsibility to clean up our act at home.
> That's the entire reason one stranger would be willing to risk their life for someone they absolutely have no relationship to.

People had to go to wars because you could get death penalty for treason (if you refuse to serve your empire, kingdom etc.) The things you are talking about were opportunistic, wars were always started by rulers motivated by expansionism and not by ordinary people motivated by greed and lust.

And yea all wars had mercenaries but they were minority not majority of the army.

Ads completely overwhelm my mobile and mac book pro. Sorry?
I'm more optimistic.

Simply because most software people today is cross-platform, so most developers need to make sure their code is reasonably performant on x86.

As long as M2, M3, M4 keep getting better and maintain (or even increase) their performance margin over x86, then everyone running M chips will continue to see blazing performance.

The bigger worry here is actually if Apple somehow "figures out" how to make macOS feel slow again. I guess it depends on how "mature" you think macOS is at this point, if whole additional layers will inserted into the stack somehow.
I don't agree, I've been searching for a new backpack on my iPad which is too old for an ad blocker. Now every single website, regardless of context, is packed full of adds for backpacks.

A constant bombarding reminder that I need a new backpack. 90 percent of websites I visit are not about backpacks. I'm getting 90% more ads about backpacks.
My idea has always been that you can take a topic like this, and generate 90% of the discussion using machine learning. If I ever have some time, I will give it a shot, or hopefully someone else does it.

Then write a forum software that just fills in the appropriate discussion for each article, and save us all a lot of trouble :)

Many commenters have already said it: the article is probably not helpful when teaching kids. Or is it? I recall having asked myself these questions at school: if lines are infinitely thin, how is it repeated addition that defines surface areas? What is "inside" the variables we use as units?

Measure theory (for your volume) and the structure of dimensional quantities [1] are non-trivial topics, and while probably not giving good answers, I think the article is certainly asking good questions.

Definitely a real live possibility. It could also just be lost. Probably physical copies, tons of turnover over many years and sites. This seems less likely but there is a perverse incentive not to admit it is lost unless required by law.
Ricardo is never referring to land in the use of housing, he's referring to land in the use of production.

EDIT to expand given downvotes on prior post:
You claim:

> ...all the bounty of our efforts will accumulate to the holders of fixed assets, namely land and human talent.

Ricardo says nothing of the sort here. Especially so, nothing about human talent. Ricardo strictly makes claim that the rent of land will be equal to marginal value of that land in the use of production. So if a given unit of land would increase the production of an enterprise by $X/yr, then the owner of that land can charge the owner of that enterprise up to $X/yr. This has nothing to do with housing and certainly nothing to do with human talent. Housing is far more complicated given how one might think about demand. We also haven't even talked about how economic rent/economic value defers from just like dollars of revenue or whatever.
Whilst there certainly are great OSS solutions most big-ish corps already have Active Directory. You can setup ADFS to do SAML for SSO or you can use Azure AD which already has all that out of the box.

If you aren't a big-ish corp then yeah, there are tons of OSS ways of doing IdP that fit your specific tastes etc.
Aren't there a number of tools that people use already other than TurboTax? This seems incorrect.

With all due respect, this isn’t really a “question”. It’s a conclusion.

It’s like saying “have you stopped beating your wife yet?”

It’s really just you making the statement that you want people to hear.

Without hearing from Dustin we can’t draw that conclusion.

It’s now time for Dustin’s response.

No one's stoning anyone to death.

It is a mistake to believe the point of that parable is "you shouldn't ever even criticize anyone unless you're perfect".
All of this has been (until quite recently) purely a social construct, though. In the days of buying CDs, you were buying bits etched onto a plastic circle and you had physical possession of those bits. On Steam, you're literally buying bits, because you pay and then you download bits onto your PC (in this case, hypothetically Steam could decide to revoke future access to those bits, but you'd still have local copies of them).

Imagine if someone told you "Oh, that physical book you bought, with the pages and the words in it? Yeah, actually what we sold you was a license to a book." It's nonsense. We only played along in the digital realm because it was the only way for commercial digital artifacts to exist given the greater ease of making perfect copies of digital artifacts compared to physical artifacts like books.

That said, XaaS is now making that social construct physically real. It's still hamstringing one of the best things about digital artifacts, but at least it's honest now.
Putting humanity on a second planet is about creating a redundancy in case something happens to the earth.

That redundancy is designed to protect against rare events on that might well be 100,000 years away.

Going to mars to "save the human race" isn't a path anyone is proposing as an alternative to addressing climate change. That's a challenge we face across the next 10-200 years.

Going to mars to "save the human race" is about ensuring that, if a planet-scale disaster strikes the earth in 10,000 years the human experiment continues on.

They're two different challenges that we face, and I see no reason why we can't address both.
