The easiest exercise to do is the kind that is routine and integrated into your routine so much you don’t even think about it. When I lived in New York I walked a few blocks to the bus stop, down the stairs to the train, down the stairs to another train, and then a few blocks to work. And that was just the commute; not counting walks to the coffee shop for a break, the walk to pick up lunch, the walk to the subway to the bar or a friend’s house after work, etc.

The problem is that, at least in the US, most people walk within a building or from the door to the car and that’s about it, and then we have to create silly rituals like culty group bicycle classes or 10,000 steps challenges to actually get the minimum exercise in.

We don’t necessarily need to go back to everyone working the fields all day levels of work, but the sedentary lifestyle in the US is not helping matters.

Exactly - either the data is basically not valuable at all (the category for which PII rarely fits) or else when the company collapses or is bought, the data moves too.

There's always an incentive to steal or leak it to other companies for money; so as long as the incentives are aligned with GATHER ALL DATA and KEEP IT FOREVER then yes, it will just be a matter of a time before each data store is compromised by mistake or purposefully.
Opening ports for a specific machine with dynamic IPv6 addresses can be difficult though.

If the suffix stays stable then with iptables you can use netmasks where you mask out the prefix rather than the suffix.

If both prefix and suffix are dynamic you need a solution that takes dhcp or host names into account. Not all router firmwares support something like that.

Another alternative is to use UPnP or PCP with authentication.

I think I'm much more cynical about investors than you. Employees are very different from investors. Employees dedicate most of their waking hours to make your company better while using that money to provide for their families. Investors spend maybe a couple hours every quarter making sure their investment is successful. The vast majority of investors do not depend on a single bet or really care that much if a single bet loses. As a founder, how you treat investors and employees should be very different. For me in particular, I see investors as a necessary evil. I see employees contentment and fulfillment as a chief responsibility.

It’s incoherent to regulate the ones you dislike and pretend the ones you like have no externalities.
I agree with bunnyfoofoo’s conclusion - maybe not the tone but certainly the conclusion. It’s tough to trust an article that makes security claims while ignoring so many self imposed security holes.
It also looks like a Powerwall 2 costs about $7,500 plus about another $5K for installation.

I use about 20kWh per day--I have a somewhat smaller house--and vaguely looked into whole house batteries a few months back and concluded they would only make sense if I had it wired into just a few critical systems like my furnace. But, at the end of the day, I should still just get a propane-fueled generator at this point if I ever got anything.

So $2K for a battery that can power a house for a day seems almost an order of magnitude off if they literally mean power an entire normal house.
Except almost no IPv6 traffic involves a NAT, and a significant chunk of internet traffic is using IPv6.

Hence it's not possible for almost all to involve a NAT, even if all IPv4 traffic would.

> The world desperately needs a replacement for YAML.

For situations like TFA you really want a configuration language that behaves exactly like you think it will, and since you don't have to interop with other organizations you don't really need a global standard.

Moreover, broadly used config languages can be somewhat counterproductive to that goal. Take JSON as an example; idiomatic JSON serdes in multiple programming languages has discrepancies in minint, maxfloat, datetime, timezone, round-tripping, max depth, and all kinds of other nuanced issues. Existing tooling is nice when it does what you expect, but for a no-frills, no-surprises configuration language I would almost always just prefer to use the programming language itself or otherwise write a parser if that doesn't suffice (e.g., in multilingual projects).

Mildly off-topic: The problem here, more or less, was that the configuration change didn't have the desired effect on an in-memory representation of that configuration. We can mitigate that at the language level, but as a sanity check it's also a good idea to just diff the in-memory objects and make sure the change looks kind of like what you'd expect.
"Limited" is a weasel word, as it can mean anything. e.g. a "limited time offer" can mean it lasts for 2 days or 2 years, because it is not unlimited.

Really? Houses in the US draw 10x on average relative to the UK? That seems unlikely.

ADDED: I can believe there's some difference because of AC but I basically don't have AC (just one window unit I run a few days a year), have oil heat, and have a somewhat smaller than average house but I still use about 20kWh/day.

The delta does seem to be real though.
I try to write pretty straightforward modern C++ as well, but have been bitten repeatedly by weird corners of the language. For a recent example, I was using the address of some functions from a library, and the library changed to provide the exact same functions in a different way that broke taking their address.

Seems like that particular Abseil ToTW isn’t public, but it alluded to this practice being banned in the C++ STL.

Or for another example, writing code that can be compiled by different versions of a single compiler, clang, e.g. across the Android NDK, XCode, latest LLVM on Linux, and Emscripten, will occasionally give surprising results. To say nothing of supporting msvc or gcc.

Waste Management Data Company
People pay lots of money to acquire consumer purchasing data to make predictions about their behavior. However, waste management seems to be able to get just those information -- you can't throw away something unless you've bought something before.

Of course, waste data is a backward indicator for purchasing behavior, but the fact that the acquisition cost is significantly lower than purchasing data (people pay you money to take away their trash), I'm not sure why aren't there enough people trying to do this business that could be the next biggest thing.

The most valuable waste management companies are worth under $50b. That's about the same market cap as a company that sells indoor bikes at its peak.

Sorting wastes could be a huge cost and could significantly drive the cost of acquisition of data, but if tech is incorporated within waste management, it is possible to implement a credit scoring system to incentivize people to dispose their trash properly.

What do you think about this idea? Is there a really bad risk I'm missing that makes people reluctant to get into this space?
Ugh, users trained in helplessness. I just had an utterly annoying conversation with my cell phone provider whose reps have been trained in helplessness and thus fail to follow really simple security procedures.

I like Mikrotik for routers. They're cheap and have a lot of knobs in the SW (maybe too many if you just want NAT). They do run linux, but their SW isn't open. I've been pairing my Mikrotik hEX with a Unifi AP. Not sure what I'll do going forward, as I've heard Mikrotik's APs aren't as good as their routing and switching hardware.

A lot of password reset flows work via username + SMS using "we've sent a code to your phone number (xxx) xxx-xx12". This database unmasks that phone number, so my assumption is this makes sms hijacking more viable, but perhaps someone more knowledgeable can weigh in.

Does Facebook allow password resets like this, and can that be disabled?
No, that's for putting TLS pubkeys into DNS.

I'm complaining about a lack of support for signing keys. Think IPFS's IPNS (though that goes a bit beyond just signing keys, as it includes DHT-based retrieval with just the key (and notably lacking an address).
If we're talking bigger picture, the important basic need here is housing.

Legalize housing in cities, and this problem mostly goes away, along with many others.
What I mean is: Facebook should remove that API entirely. Apps do not need a way to look up a phone number in Facebook’s database. The “find my friends using this app” feature does not require this capability.

The NYT article should simply have recommended using 1blocker which works with safari for users that have Mac laptops and iPhones, which I am guessing is perhaps the majority of readers.

who said that? ... I can't remember

anyway, I was involved in btc from 2014 to 2016.

dropped it and never looked back.

> Now of course someone can put a gun to your head and demand your private key, but they won't have any indication that you even OWN a private key with crypto whereas with fiat they can just raid your house and claim the cash.

that's why we have banks and don't keep our money under the mattress.

so that the bank is responsible of keeping it safe and I don't lose it if the bank gets robbed.

what happens to my bitcoins if someone robs them?

but let's imagine you are in a poor country, can't open a bank account because the system doesn't accept you, you don't trust it, there is no bank system in your country, whatever...

now imagine you need to buy something that your family needs. you convert your bitcoins to fiat money (someway, that's another cane of worms entirely), because of course you can buy a Tesla with bitcoins, but not primary goods, and you are back at square one: you have cash in your home that is not safe.

> I'm not sure what ledger you think will prevent criminals from taking cash from your house or bank in the same manner

do you seriously don't know?

> people at gunpoint are made to withdraw cash from ATMs. It's common enough.

it's not.

because you can only withdraw a small amount of money from ATM (€ 250 in Italy) so the incentive is close to zero.

thieves steal the ATM machine and try to break it later

it's extremely rare, but it happens.

but even then the incentive is very low, because if you break an ATM machine the money inside is tainted with a special paint that makes it useless and highly recognizable.

> Again, there's no situation where crypto is easier to steal than a countries fiat.

bitcoins are useful only when converted to fiat money.

you can't buy bread for your family with bitcoins in Somalia.

You can't in Italy as well.

infact they steal your fiat money, which is much more valueable for a thief.

anyway you seem to not understand how developing countries work, at all.

money is not stolen from you, it's seized by corrupt governments and corrupt police forces.

crypto doesn't solve that, in any way.

if you can hide crypto, they will seize the goods you buy with them.

don't believe the hype

TOML quickly breaks down with lots of nested arrays of objects. For example:

a:
b:
- c: 1
- d:
- e: 2
- f:
g: 3

Turns into this, which is unreadable:

[[a.b]]
c = 1

[[a.b]]
[[a.b.d]]
e = 2

[[a.b.d]]
[a.b.d.f]
g = 3

TOML also has a few restrictions, such as not supporting mixed-type arrays like [1, "hello", true], or arrays at the root of the data. JSON can represent any TOML value (as far as I know), but TOML cannot represent any JSON value.

At my company we use YAML a lot for table-driven tests (e.g. [1]), and this not only means lots of nested arrays, but also having to represent pure data (i.e. the expected output of a test), which requires a format that supports encoding arbitrary "pure" data structures of arrays, numbers, strings, booleans, and objects.

Idea for criminals: Anonymous tax payment service. I am a regular person with a bitcoin wallet. You are a criminal with a bitcoin wallet. You want to pay taxes on your crime money, but don't want to get caught for doing crime. So, instead of reporting the income on your own taxes, you send me bitcoin anonymously equal to the taxes you owe (plus a small fee). I declare and pay the taxes through my own tax returns. Then, if you are ever accused of not paying taxes on your crime money, you can prove you have been paying taxes by showing you own the bitcoin wallet that sent me the money. But, until the government catches on to your illegal activity, you get to stay anonymous without tax reporting tipping off the police etc.

Electricity consumption varies from household to household. Reminds me of this piece:

“Armed with Gore's utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.”
