This about MiniDisc data discs, gosh I remember in 1996 I sold my Tascam 388 Reel-to-Reel 8 Track for a Tascam 564 4 Track minidisc. Terrible decision, although part of it was a reel to reel doesn't work great in a dorm room. 388 is a collector's item now, 564 is an anomaly.
These comments about how the market is on fire for developers always make me sad. Not your fault, but outside the US (and maybe western/northern Europe) you get lowballed hard, even with years of experience. And the supposedly lower CoL doesn't make up for it, at all, not even remotely. I'm not even talking about getting crazy bay area compensations, I'm talking about hoping something better than a $25k-$45k range for experienced engineers.
Clubhouse lets you collect payments to join some channels. Isn’t KYC reasonable in that case?

Long ago, before the rise of Fox News but after discovering my political identity as being on the left, I listened to a lot of AM talk radio (particularly Michael Savage) both to get out of my bubble and in a "know your enemy" sort of way.

I learned nothing except that this guy was a tremendous asshole, saying things like "I want the US to nuke a country in the Middle East, I don't even care which one". Hearing shit like that, and his arrogant, bigoted, hate-filled bashing of everything to the left of Hitler diatribes just pissed me off, and I decided I really didn't need to hear more right-wing garbage.

While I was there, though, I did listen to others, like Rush Limbaugh and various other right wing "luminaries" (including going back to William F Buckley), and while Michael Savage was the most extreme of the ones I listened to, they were all just different shades of crap.

The same goes for listening, reading, or watching mainstream media like CNN or MSNBC, which I consider way too conservative for me. When I heard them defending the Iraq war, endlessly interviewing generals and other pro-war figures without interviewing any serious anti-war opposition (like, say, Noam Chomsky, or any of the other leaders of the antiwar movement), when they give trite, superficial coverage of protests and focus on sensationalism rather than issues the protests are about, when they (say) crap all over Obama for not wearing a lapel pin (instead of something serious like him enabling the surveillance state), when they give endless air time to Trump or can't stop talking about him (pre-election.. it's harder to ignore him when he's President), when they have an unquestioning support of capitalism, then I wonder why the fuck am I listening to this?

Yes, I'm out of my echo chamber when I listen to right-wing and mainstream news, but what's the point? They're really not telling me anything new... I already know how pro-war, pro-capitalist, right wing, anti-left they are.

Even consuming left-wing media mostly just upsets me because all they do is talk about the injustices of the right and quote right-wing media back at me, which just pisses me off more.

If I was politically active maybe this would be more bearable, as I'd have an outlet for my frustration, but as I'm not I really try to limit my consumption of news, left-or-right.

In theory it would be nice if there was more real communication between the left and the right, mutual understanding, and cooperation on issues we do agree on.. but I just don't see it happening. Both sides see each other as super biased, unfair, and close-minded, and it's hard to see how that's going to change... just getting out of one's echo chamber is not enough.
I feel like Gamestop is tee'd up to be the next Blockbuster -- a leader that utterly dominated a market that no longer exists due to digital delivery mechanisms.

- The two newest consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series) feature all-digital models that effectively neuter Gamestop's primary used-game market.

- Microsoft is pushing Game Pass over individual purchases, which cuts Gamestop out of new game sales.

- Free-to-play games allow Gamestop to sell prepaid currency cards, but there's nothing special about GS doing that versus any other store that sells gift cards.

- Customers generally have preferred digital distribution over in-store pickups, since the former can message discounts more effectively and make for snap impulse purchases.
PoW is a broad, general name, just as PoS is a broad, general category.

PoSW is a subset of PoW. To say "PoW can be parallelized" isn't necessarily true.
A cop decided that the guy who let his kid drive the boat wasn't at fault in the accident, but my parents were, despite my parents doing everything right.

A judge decided that a huge, old tree wasn't worth anything (when someone else cut it down without asking), and sided against my parents.

Those are the 2 things that come to mind immediately. Basically, any interactions that involved my parents and a local were biased towards the locals by cops/judges/etc.

The law gives police the right "to seize any material found at that place or in the possession of a person present at
the place" and "to request assistance from persons present so as to gain access"

It sounds like anything found at the at the address of the search warrant is a valid target, and you are legally required to assist no matter the reason that you or your device was there.

A search warrant is extremely powerful and should clearly spell out what it's searching for. If the police find something outside of the scope of the warrant, at very least they should be required to go back to the judge and justify why they should have access to it.

I absolutely understand where you're coming from. The closest thing I found to "tests" was that you could hook up alarm klaxons to belts/containers that would alert you when a certain resource was below a given level - but that's very much a in-production canary of "tell me when things are going wrong", not a mid-development "tell me how this change will end up looking".

We've been running shareable / configurable data analyses in production for the past several years.

In the data analysis world this has always been seen as a bit of a pipe dream, because no one's data is structured in the same way. A simple calculation (like monthly recurring revenue) has to be rewritten for each company. We standardize data in such a way that an analysis built by a company can be shared with another.
An underrated way to get out of your echo chamber is to actually talk to people in person. I lean fairly conservative, while my wife and her friends are very liberal. Whenever we happen to talk about political topics, most of the time we end up understanding where each other are coming from, even if we still don't agree.

I also don't think it is that unique to the UK. It was a multi-national attack that broke EncroChat and the Australians breaking An0m (maybe with US help). Some countries love privacy at all costs like Germany and Scandinavia, some don't even assume they have privacy like Iran and China and those in the middle, like the UK, want to pretend they have privacy and are principled until they need to solve a crime and then it goes out the window!

On iOS and macOS (I can't speak to Android but I'm fairly sure it's a similar mechanism), you're required to prove that a domain and app are linked before allowing URLs to open in your app. You do this by hosting a JSON file on your website that points to your app and specifies which kind of URLs should be redirected. E.g. see https://apple.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association for how Apple.com does it.

This prevents malicious third-parties from opening bank.com in their own app, but of course it also prevents useful things like using a custom YouTube app.

The world is filled with workout routines. They're everywhere. They're in books, they're on sites, they're in magazines, they're on forums. They've been explained a million times -- PPL, 5/3/1, bro-splits, kettlebell routines, WODs, etc.

My recommendation, if you're really a beginner, just go buy one book that explains these things. They're all based on the same principles. The same knowledge is being repackaged, re-sold, re-presented by each subsequent personality.

You don't need more routines. You need the routine you'll do 50 or 100 times.

I have been reading daily news for 50 years. When I first started reading the news, it was objective. It portrayed facts with little opinion. Then during the Reagan presidency, I noticed a trend towards liberal bias in the media. This is well documented by MRC.org. To counter this, conservative talk radio was born, and Fox news was created.

In the din of infinite media outlets, the major media outlets must stand out from the crowd. They do this by extending their bias to outright advocacy for their political side. This is happening on both sides. Other niche outlets are doing the same thing to be attractive to a specialized set of readers.

Unfortunately, it has gone from advocacy to outrage. A daily outrage occurred in the media in response to Trump, where every action created an outrage from one offended group or another. It was more than just Trump. "Cancel culture" was created where those who were outraged by something someone said on social media "cancelled" the speaker's life by erasing them from society. They lost their jobs and were ostracized by their peers.

Where does all this lead? I hope it is not violence. However, the political violence I see everyday in the form of violent protests and riots is not a welcome sight.

Why would I want to be further locked into Apple/Google’s ecosystem? Sure its convenient, and I also work for Big Tech, but my idealistic self tells me that value infrastructure should be owned by no single/oligopoly of central entities.

They also don’t provide a digital currency - its an abstraction/wrapping for the native countries currency. In my mind sufficiently decentralized (sybil resistant) currencies are the only true digital currencies.

Also as an aside given the top post on Stripe atm, I want to see decentralized identity take off - its a better use case for DLT imo. The networks security would come from the token value of an underlying crypto.

Do you ever find this makes finding a new job on return difficult?
Yes, this legislation either seems to have been written by people who just want overly broad powers they'll use in a technically sound way, or by people who have no understanding of computer forensics.

The way it's written makes it sound like the officers would be rifling through the computers and phones on site trying passwords they've found, themselves, or standing over the shoulder of people being forced to do so. It specifically talks about forcing someone to make information "visible and legible" and about copying documents, rather than just making forensically secure images of devices.
This is also said of mathematics, but rather when the student is successful in learning a theorem.
TL; DR:

Start with six-wide RAIDz2 vdev. In this vdev, records are mostly written in six-wide chunks—so a 128KiB record is written in four 32KiB data chunks plus two 32KiB parity chunks.

Now use zpool attach and Matt Ahrens' new code to expand my six-wide RAIDz2 vdev to a ten-wide RAIDz2 vdev. Full-size stripes will now consist of eight data chunks and two parity chunks.

What zpool attach does not do is reshape existing records/blocks, which are still in six-wide stripes. Since ZFS is a copy-on-write file system, rewritten blocks will be "the new normal" with eight data chunks and two parity chunks.

Also: if you write a 4K file, that's a single sector—so instead, that small file is written as a narrower stripe, thanks to ZFS' variable stripe width. This narrow stripe is only three disks wide—one data chunk, plus two parity chunks.

We need to invent hardware with biometric verification such that the device will not give access without the rightful owner present and operating it.

Otherwise this will degenerate into police being allowed to sneeze devices and operate them away from their owner's presence.

Make it possible to "lock in" a single biometric profile and not permit adding a second profile without automatically wiping all data.

> "Until you can passionately make arguments for both sides," she says, "you don't understand the issue."

I think this is the key quote. It should really be taboo to have an opinion without an understanding of how the other side argues.

(Ironically the search for counterarguments would often strengthen my position because they would turn out to be quite weak. Nevertheless I think that the exercise is important.)

I think the words "well-reasoned opinion" describe it well: try to see what part of your opinion is fact, which experts you trusted for that, and what part is morality and ethics.
I would argue that games like go and chess are so vastly different from real life that it's not useful to make comparisons like this. Sometimes similar high-level strategies can be employed, but I'm certainly not thinking in terms of "controlling the middle" as that doesn't really make sense in real life. One can make that phrase as vague as possible to make it apply to real life, but what benefit does that bring?

My friends were busy so I didn't fit and If I can bring to other the happiness of going out with someone like me it can be with pleasure.

I don't know if I'm right but going to a concert or a festival will always be more fun with others. :)

At the end I think that because of social media we are more alone and a website like that can help us share our experiences with others. It's just benefits !

Great to read you comments :)
I don't think it would be a grey area. If the police couldn't prove that you were lying or had deliberately obstructed the investigation, it would be tough luck for them if you couldn't get into your own device.

If you were prepared to lose your device, it would be easier to ditch it than ditch the keys but, again, not all criminals think that far ahead. I read that they caught Dread Pirate Roberts because he thought he would never get caught (in a public library!)
> Who funds it?

Generally, I think family does. Some families have more money than others. It also depends how much the parents are willing and able to sacrifice, of course.

The same way you might scratch your head wondering how some fellow students pay for rentals you can't imagine affording, and alcohol binges you can't imagine affording. Students from poorer families rarely go on gap years. But even some poorer parents will sacrifice a lot, if they can find a way, to pay for their children to travel.

That said, the costs aren't outrageous. Travelling around Europe or Australia is fairly cheap for a young person (or at least used to be). There are schemes to allow travelling costs to be lower for young people, visas tend to be cheaper and easier to get, and people do local, temporary work e.g. in bars in kitchens to supplement the money they brought with them, to make it last longer.

I went to university in the UK a long time ago. And I struggled to understand how people afforded gap years (or rent) then, too. I never had a gap year, and it makes me a little sad. But as I couldn't even afford to eat regular meals, and certainly couldn't join people for socialising when they went out to places like Pizza Hut (too expensive), it was the right decision not to take a gap year :/
I didn't have any substantial savings until I was well into my 30s. I didn't graduate from grad school until I was 28. (Worked for a few years prior in engineering but nothing like the salary levels in SWE today.)
1. All of it is true in general and explicitly not the case for the OP/GP I was responding to, which indicated a traveling/no-work year, so it feels you're fighting a straw man.

As well, all of it is easily discussable during interview, and my team and myself will not see any of these in a negative light.

2. >> "It isn't "lying" to say time spent not working on a paid contract is time spent in service of contracting."

Of course not. At the time of my post however, a lot of advice in comments was explicitly to lie and "Say you were in a startup / independent consulting / working on OSS / CTO even if you weren't, rather than admitting to gap / traveling year", and my reaction to them is: That lie will harm you much more than any honest discussion of the gap year.

So again, I feel we are talking past each other here a bit. I've been a contractor, I've been a consultant, and I'm a full-time employee now; I've taken a time to write a book/techmanual, I've run a photography business for a bit,and I've taken extended paternity leave; so I don't think my mind is trapped into thinking of employment as binary. But I do think honesty during interview is paramount - on my team, I don't care how good your technical or functional skillset is, if we cannot trust your integrity. I understand that this is a tricky position for the candidate as market at times rewards dishonesty; but I try to be convincingly upfront in what we're looking for.

Latest two that come to mind is DoH integrations in the browser and app specific file handling.

Of course, the question is "well why?" needs to be asked. The (non)conspiratorial answer to this is "because Chrome wants more control." We're way past the era where a web browser was just something that handles just the DOM.

My main issue with American news and commentary is the complete lack of skepticism of those on 'their side' of an issue.

On the right, when Trump hadn't yet gotten control of the party, there was some persistent reaction against him from established conservative media. Once he got control, it was almost complete silence.

On the left, evidence of how much of the investigation into Russian collusion with Trump's election team was completely made up and water carrying by the media of Clinton's team's planted story has never been owned by the participants.

There are near infinite examples of this on both sides. I just want media that is skeptical of those in power and those seeking power. All of them, not those on another team.
