Not so much overlooked as omitted ... I had originally written "average American adults" but I didn't want to distract into the territory of "how bad our diets are in this country".

My Dad almost always flew alone. So much so that when the plane was packed and we were making an approach into the Sandusky, OH airport, we had a sudden "dip" on the way down that everyone noticed (we were headed to Cedar Pointe, so it was preparation, I guess). My Dad explained that he wasn't used to landing with so much weight and hadn't adjusted the trim correctly[0].

[0] If it wasn't abundantly clear, all of my flying experience ended at about age 17, which was a while ago, and I was never a pilot, so to the extent that I get any of this wrong -- that's why :)

I moved to a big city when i started my work life for this single reason: opportunities.

No need to move when you just switch your public transport line.

Nonetheless, honestly i think career progression is totally different if you don't live in a city or if you are not very flexible.

Many people are making tons of money in crypto but even more are losing out. But people only post online when they are winning. It's the same as Instagram - everyone seems to have incredibly interesting lives but really most of us work 9-5 and spend most of our free time watching Netflix or performing mundane tasks. Social media focuses and amplifies the good parts of other people's lives.

It also seems unlikely the environment had anything at all to do with their bitcoin flip flop. The environmental concerns existed and were very well discussed and publicized before Tesla decided to accept bitcoin. It was the “good” reason for their decision but not the real reason.

The interesting bit in this article is not necessarily the sum of the ransom, but that Colonial decided to pay quasi-immediately. It seems as if the attackers had full control over their network. Another possibility: Colonial staff could not be sure that if they used their backups, everything would be encrypted immediately again - possibly the backup servers as well. My bet would be on scenario 1.

Rather than rehash all this here, there are a lot of posts about ProtonMail and the foundational claims they make about being a company operated out of Switzerland. I'd suggest reading those critiques. The process of becoming a surveillance state is a slow one, you don't just wake up with government operated/connected cameras on every corner.

Apparently rehashing is what we want to do. Here's some links:

Switzerland's laws are the foundation of ProtonMail: https://protonmail.com/blog/switzerland/

ProtonMail must comply with Swiss law, regardless of what people think, and as Switzerland progressively becomes surveillance state it will have to comply more: https://www.securityweek.com/protonmail-accused-voluntarily-...

This post on Reddit sums up, fairly well, what I usually hear from privacy interested users of ProtonMail: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/49u8vy/protonma...

For some more direct points: https://privacy-watchdog.io/truth-about-protonmail/

While it may not be immediately obvious, if you follow each of these points they connect back to compliance in some way

Yes, it takes 2000ns for the signal to travel at the speed of light. ledauphin never talked about the time spent processing the signals, which is incredibly odd because that's where most of the time is being wasted.

This is a very common pattern in networking, people underestimate the speed of light and overestimate the speed of network equipment.

Nice to see a pluggable approach at a time when "repairability" is catching the fancy of the whole world.

If I had to nitpick, it would be the fact that Linux is unfortunately a second class citizen. However, I do see that support for mainstream distros is available. Can you possibly shed some light on that and be a bit more specific? What distros have you tested? What are the outcomes?
Your second argument, that Tesla is cooler than other car manufacturers, is even more subjective than your first. There can at least be some kind of metrics showing which car drives better.
I'm not aware of a physical property that would cause mirrorless to improve image quality.

Mirrorless does allow a shallower flange distance, which allows you to create more compact/lighter lenses, but this is more beneficial with already small lens types (e.g. primes/compact zooms) rather than telephoto lenses.

That being said mirrorless lenses likely will be better, but not due to mirrorless Vs. DSLR distinction but because the mirrorless version will be their most up-to-date optical technology.

I think the biggest differentiator here won't be IQ, it will be the electronic viewfinder (w/focus peaking, zebra stripes, histograms, preview of art modes, more accurate preview of the photo, etc).

Aren't you just saying that DDD wasn't proposed as a solution to the problem because the problem didn't exist? Starting to jog is a smell that you're out of shape, if you were in shape you wouldn't need to start jogging.

One of the ideas that DDD pushes is that product and dev should be closely aligned. The reason that's emphasized is that it isn't the case in a lot of organizations. Of course you could try to avoid all orgs with these kinds of problems (I haven't been able to, unfortunately), but the question is, if encountering an org that _does_ have problems, what solution would you propose?

I know he meant it to show as a negative but I think it is fine in decent number of scenarios. The companies who have lot of "least engaged" employees, may be they can look at their work culture. Or better concern themselves more with outcomes instead of outlays.

This way "disengaged" employees like me would rather produce results remotely instead of buying into, motivation, engagement, or workplace well-being bullshit while suffering claustrophobic workplaces.

Exactly. Think about the downsides of online connectivity with things like say pipelines or IoT. The answer to every problem in the last 30 years has been to plug an Ethernet cable to it, and the consequences of that are coming home to roost!

The ability to have a trusted source of data to validate instructions or other content alone is very useful. Blockchain is no more “stupid” than PGP or PKI.
Not sure if I agree with the sentiment or not, but I think he has a point that crypto currencies can make paying ransoms to international ransomware gangs much easier. Using the traditional banking system would have been extremely difficult and have a low chance of success for that gang.

I could definitely see this reasoning being used as justification for anti crypto currency laws in the future.
> That said, most of the complaints I hear about generics are about terseness rather than correctness (i.e., people want to elide lots of little bits of boilerplate), which is perhaps why I don't find myself missing generics very much--I'm happy to put up with verbosity as long as correctness and readability are preserved.

Agreed, and I have to confess that it takes a lot of restraint for me to not suggest that people just change the languages they do generics and type programming in (in favor of haskell/rust). Proper algebraic data types, typeclasses + constraints instead of inheritance, good concise syntax -- there are better type systems out there but most people have only used Java/C# (which is fair since most enterprise software is written in those languages).
I’m often thinking about the same thing, but not only in tech.

Look at how big oil colluded with the government and pushed for plastic we can't really recycle.

If we can measure it and trace it back to polluting companies, everyone should be able to pool their collective power, via their dispute resolution agencies, and demand a trial, imposing fines, limits and what not.
It's not going to be easy, but it won't be harder than it is now: corruption should be harder with competing dispute resolution agencies and customers can actually walk away and stop paying them if they don't act in their interest.

Beauty of this is that there are two clear reasons to shut down that service. 1. because it didn't work, or 2. because it did work because blockchains don't need a blockchain service because blockchains run on decentralized blockchains.

Good sales leads to both parties being happy. I say thank you to the grocery clerk because I want to give them money for food and they say thank you because they want my money. I'm happy to be eating.

> I mean, that seems obvious, there can't really be inflation if the money supply doesn't increase, can there?

Depending on your definition, sure there can be. Private lending is the primary driver of inflation. Most wealth is on paper anyway, so long as people don't try to get actual cash, then an economy can experience significant inflation with a fixed supply of money.

You don't even need lending to drive inflation without a money supply increase. There are lots of bitcoin millionaires out there who can't actually liquidate their holdings for cash, but could, in theory, actually buy other physical goods with it at roughly face value.

Central banks don't have a monopoly on inflation, despite everyone's apparent belief that they do. They are a major influencer, yes, but at USD-scale, they don't have all that much control. You can see this in how the Fed almost always misses their inflation targets.
Faking job experience and qualifications.

If you're claiming to be a senior salesforce developer who worked for 4 fortune 500 companies, and the person hiring you doesn't know what an "object" is, you can fool them.

I literally had to recommend firing someone like that a few years ago as they were hired by my client as a "Senior Salesforce Admin." The red flag for me by day two was that he just never contributed anything in salesforce-specific meetings in spite of supposedly being the senior-most resource for SF expertise. I confronted him and ask if he could describe an object to me (he couldn't), but had claimed to work for many household brands for years as a salesforce admin.

Apart from the obvious dishonesty, I don't know why he oversold himself SO MUCH. I guess he was stupid enough to completely lie and not take the time to actually learn salesforce, but also equally stupid enough to just overshoot his qualifications.

This is a vulnerability more than a benefit. If you need to access a website and can't because of ominous errors, most users will simply try a different device. If the user always browses a specific site on their desktop, and the desktop hits an HSTS warning, the user will immediately try it on their phone, which has never visited the site, and thus has no HSTS record, and will then click through any certificate warning. As far as the user is concerned, the website or their internet connection (or both) are just screwed up.

Web browsers have never taken any of this seriously. Their hilariously poor UX around errors and warnings, their half-baked mitigation schemes, their reluctance to figure out new industry solutions for extremely common problems like setting up a wireless access point, etc.
Not sure what you mean.

I'm not aware of this schema in big companies or smaller ones. Getting a head count is hard, hiring is a lot of effort.

For everything else you have service providers. If you wanna be independent and work per task, thats a totally different story all together.

You have to do acquisition yourself, you have to do training yourself but you earn a lot more money faster.

I still prefer the jobs where i hire/control an external person while having my career in a stable work environment. Which also means i'm the expert and while you can get experts from external, as a company you still need your experts who keep all the business experience with them.
also transposons certainly exist in prokarya too, and probably drive innovation there as well, possibly assisting horizontal gene transfer. When I was in the synthetic genome lab at the venter institute, one of the first things I did was win a bet about the orientation of a transposable element in the syn1.0 genome that was eventually removed from the genome (the bet was not important enough to merit me being on the paper)
100% agree, just explaining why it matters for some people. Personally, I think TSLA is overpriced (not because of this though) so I'm not buying, but I won't be mad if proven wrong.
You're probably right -- I likely have the number wrong. In fact, I was able to find the craft in a database online (still reporting my Dad's corporation as the owner, so it's not perfect) and it indicated 6.

> Time is more valuable than money

This is one of those "does not compute" statements that's sort of like dividing by zero. Money buys time, and time has value (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/timevalueofmoney.asp), which is measured in money.

It's why we try to incentivize long term investment, because without such an incentive, consumption now is better than consumption 5-10 years from now. We saw this happen before "long term" carve outs began proliferating in various states' tax codes.

As i understand things at a fairly high level, and particularly w/r/t the northeast corridor, high speed rail in the US has two interlinked technical facts about it that are hard to get over even if we can wave a magic policy wand and make governmental buy-in work several orders of magnitude better:

- It's not that "American rail construction is just bad. However, this is not because rail is bad; it’s because the United States is bad.". It's that american rail construction in the northeast is OLD, and we're hosed by the first adopter paradox.

- from this, it directly follows that upgrading the rail for high speed use is HARD, because the issue is at least in part down to rail line geometry. AIUI, a fundamental reason you can't go 95mph between Boston and New York is that the railroad tracks have curves in them whose radii have a maximum speed without risk of derailment that's quite low, and to resolve this problem you'd have to eminent domain swathes of, say, New Haven. There are other issues too, like local/freight/... sharing the same lines, but that's kind of saying the same thing twice: construction through densely populated Northeast Corridor cities is so impractical that it's hard to see how it could ever happen or be thought of as a particularly good thing if it did.

You are right, but we must remember that poor people in poor regions are disproportionately more likely to be stuck on very old hardware. According to StatCounter, 5.7% of PC users in Africa are still on XP or Vista, compared to only 0.6% in North America. That's almost 10 times as much.

Rallying against older browsers was once supposed to be a good fight against evil monopolists.
