Here in the UK, everyone hates agents.

Yet when I was applying for my last job, I made 2 dozen applications direct. Got 3 replies, about 2-3 months late. And for all 3, got a standard rejection.

Sad but true: We need recruitment agents, as companies will never do anything until someone is breathing down their neck over the phone.

Those companies that never replied? One year later, they are still running Linkedin ads promoting open positions.
An operating system with a bulletproof sandbox that allows anyone to run any program against any data without risking their computer.

I'm fairly certain it's currently impossible with Linux, Windows, etc. I'd like to get us back up to at least the safety we used to have with an IBM PC XT, 2 Floppy drives, running MS-DOS, with stacks of write protectable floppy disks
Another issue is that they sent out the initial communication on August 25th (which I did receive), but the original wording indicated that it only affected servers that allowed user self-registration. We didn’t have that enabled, so I held off for a bit because the risk seemed lower and our upgrade process is a bit arduous (we have quite a few customizations on the server and need to perform all upgrades on a test instance and validate first) and our instance requires authentication through a load balancer before it’s even accessible.

Then, Atlassian updated the ticket a day later to state the issue affected all servers on the affected versions regardless of user authentication or registration but didn’t send out a follow up communication when they did so. Instead they waited until Friday afternoon before a US holiday weekend to send out another update. So if you weren’t watching the source ticket directly and thought you could wait due to the setting distinction you wouldn’t have known for over a week and you were left vulnerable.

Atlassian should have sent out another communication to all customers as soon as they knew the scope was broader than they had initially thought.
This new city most likely depends on getting necessary regulatory and code approvals that would be impossible elsewhere. There's also a reason why towns become ghost towns, and the investors putting in $400B in funding probably don't want to start with one foot in the metaphorical grave.
Another interesting point is that Conduit (Rust-based implementation of the Matrix homeserver) got a beta release last week.
Sometimes I wonder about the how much better leetcode interviews are at picking the best candidate than a random number generator would be (obviously after doing all the other interview stuff other than the leetcode)
Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. It's a meta analysis of 25 different studies and some will have flaws of course.

For me, if one single study showed positive results and had a valid methodology, that'd be enough for me to consider taking it.

I'm open to anything to get us out of this mess: anti-parasitic, anti-biotic, Zinc, Vitamin-D from sunshine, whatever it takes - I'm not picky.

As an aside, here's a meta analysis of 63 studies on Ivermectin, 44 of them peer reviewed.

https://ivmmeta.com/

And for a fun case study, check out what happened in India when they used Ivermectin at a large scale. If those stores haven't been censored yet, that is.
I'd go even one step further: EOL software and hardware should be forced to be open-hardware (at least open schematics) or opensource. If you're not willing to support a product anymore then it should not be possible for it to simply turn into a brick because you turned off a server.

This would either create a market where companies will sell the license to support old products to other companies, or old hardware and software would finally be able to be supported by the community. There wouldn't be a need to reverse engineer or develop stuff in a "clean room" for fear of litigation.
I agree it's better, just I doubt it'll be popular.
Don’t be hyperbolic. It’s just a month of prep. No one is advocating for child neglect.

This is for a job that pays 450k+. Do you really think you’re gonna be handed it with no effort?

If you want a mediocre job, then there’s plenty of companies you can get hired at with little effort and you’re welcome to work at those companies. Just don’t be surprised if you make 1/3 to 1/4th the comp.

It's categorically true. If your energy production is, say, 60% carbon based pretty much every watt generated by wind energy or solar is a watt that doesnt have to be generated by coal or natural gas.

"This is the problem with renewables..." - this amusingly sounds a little like an instance of fallacy #1. It becomes "the" problem only when youve got way more renewables capacity than almost everyone has right now.
Nuclear can do load following in France. According to this article (French), reactors can adjust power output by 80% in 30 minutes: https://www.lesechos.fr/2016/02/lelectricien-fait-de-plus-en...

(I am curious about more details since the figure lack context. It is not clear whether the 80% applies to nominal power.)

Edit: the English wikipedia article on load following is actually much clearer: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_following_power_plant#N...

> Modern nuclear plants with light water reactors are designed to have maneuvering capabilities in the 30-100% range with 5%/minute slope.

Counter proposal: We should do the exact opposite of everything in this post.
The internet is good exactly in the ways it is not limited by RL.
Using IRL ID is at best playing into advertisers hands, and at worst the aberration which is damaging the positive aspects of the internet.

>It's nothing more than an unhealthy vice

Poster's morality is subjective and geographically constrained. Definitely doesn't scale in relevance to a global network.

>people living unauthentic split lives with multiple incongruent personas

This is already the state of a person living in a consumer society. Adopting personas plucked from lifestyle marketing, just long enough to consume products (socially/publicly), before discarding said personas.
Social media personas in their very congruence are synthetic and inauthentic, because they're built as audience pleasing product.
People’s pre-social media compartmentalized internet personas are the closest humanity has come to authenticity.

>extension of reality with the same social dynamics

All social dynamics are historically contingent, so why is it axiomatic that they should apply to the internet, rather than have its own new and organic social dynamics or netiquette.

>The end result being that many of the problems we associate with the internet cease to exist.

Those problems almost immediately became magnitudes worse in the facebook/twitter age of RL ID.

>accountability

Who are these platforms to hold anyone accountable? What a colossal double standard. The users may be held accountable, but the platforms make their own rules. The platform which has the power to authenticate you has power over you. We’re better off with our own weak IDs.

Easy to solve with shill bidding to manufacture an illusion of demand and value.
Failure to sanitize input is one thing, but the bigger issue to me is that, with so many of these Java server installations, that a simple injection can immediately lead to "game over" from a server takeover perspective.

For the bug in question, I bet the vast majority of webservers never need the ability to call unrestricted Runtime.exec(), yet access to that is just one unsanitized input away from complete control over your server.

OS vendors have made leaps and bounds in the past decade making it much harder for code vulnerabilities to lead to system takeover. I'd argue it's time for server code and language runtimes to make it easier to write secure code.

"<...>someone who feels themselves morally superior because they are living in a state of lockdown."

That's actually not correct. I don't expect you to believe it but you'd be able to ascertain that's it's incorrect if you read some of my earlier posts on the subject.

Several points, as I've said previously, I rather like lockdowns as they allow me time to do things that I've not time for otherwise - or time that I wouldn't normally be able to justify. Check for yourself (it's there in writing).

My main point is that I've precious little time for bloody-minded fools who: (a) deny science - that's to say the best advice available, (b) clearly haven't studied the facts - not even superficially so, (c) are acting in ways contrary to their own health and best interests and (d) their lack of concern for the health of others who do actually care. People who are knowingly prepared to infect others who may die as a consequence are a dangerous menace to society and throughout history we've locked them up - as I've mentioned Mary Mallon is a case in point (the tragedy of that case was how she was treated after she was locked up).

Throughout history - even going back to the Black Death/plague and before, people were expected to follow protocols - locked up in their houses etc. This is not a new requirement. So what gives the right of stupid people to do so now? None I'd suggest.

BTW, in response to the ludicrous, inaccurate and often dangerous memes circulating on Social Media and elsewhere, a colleague of mine coined the phrase "We've reached peak stupid". Not only do I concur but I'm sorry I didn't think of that myself. It says it all really.

"The mission of Telosa is to create a more equitable and sustainable future. That's our North Star."

I admire their ambition, but they are underestimating people's preference for inequity as long as they're on the right side of the graph. I don't know if they're asking the right questions and solving for the right problems... their web site hasn't moved beyond vaporware phase. https://cityoftelosa.com/

Or maybe I DID get Covid? Or maybe.... I was a dog all along?!

Sorry about that. But I do want to push on a point, mostly because I have a good quote: "It's possible to make mistakes and still lose. That's not a weakness, it's life".

There is a disconnect between being right on the bets you make, and winning. In this case I could be wrong on ivermectin helping. It doesn't matter in the long run, because what matters is making decent enough bets (and of course, not being unlucky). Why "decent enough"? Because satisficing vs optimizing. I don't particularly care if the chance that ivermectin helps is 25% or 75%. I'm mostly looking at the cost, and if the potential gain is at least double digits. Then I'm looking _again_ at the potential cost, then again, then checking the dosage three times and doing a search to see if veterinarian pills are usually of much worse quality. Because it's not the precise probability of Ivermectin working that's instrumental here. Only that it has a probability high enough to be worth the bother: after that, it's all focus on the downside. And yeah, turns out the downside is small.

Not that any of that matters with tribal posturing, of course. "Ivermectin" = "Antivaxer" = "Trumpist" = "Evil" is a much much shorter association for our brains to make.
Anytime a founder/startup mentions the words "family" or "loyalty", its a big red flag. Always run away from these companies that demand you be subservient just to be employed.
It's interesting, I suspect we all have our thing we avoid like that - for me it's Java stuff. I don't say that to 'defend' node, I'm no JS fan boy or particularly experienced with it, it just doesn't bother me the way Java stuff does - the dread I have for a Java stack trace appearing from something I'm trying to run is enough to make me see if there's an equivalent that ticks the same boxes in another language!

This is a weak response. "What we're changing" isn't specific. It's a "our shit doesn't stink" kind of reply.

"What we're changing" should be far more specific. Start educating users about Tor on your homepage.

Start blogging about Tor more than once in 2017. Have a score for how many users log in through Tor. Have a score for how many times your privacy policy is loaded.

Stop claiming to be the best simply because you have a Tor site with an old version of your app. That's not good enough.

I'm looking for leadership. Protonmail is clearly an "explainer" more than a leader. I'll keep my eyes peeled for whoever comes along to replace them.

Sorry, prosecutors.

If they’re not attempting to prosecute potential crimes, they should be disbarred. If cops are lying or omitting evidence, they should be fired and charged themselves with obstruction.

The current route is eroding our faith in the system which is showing it’s result already.

Many people are anti-vax because of their distrust. But there’s MANY examples.
A Different Take on Differentiation
Yes absolutely. He's overcoming his trust issues with strangers and I'd say he's pretty happy with us. The before/after difference is huge and I'm so lucky to have him.
ProtonMail to ProtonMail emails are e2ee. Emails sent outside of ProtonMail ecosystem can still be secured with a password with a link to the email hosted at ProtonMail. ProtonMail uses zero-access encryption, which means it is technically impossible for them to decrypt user messages. When you sign up with Google you have to give them a phone number and other details which ProtonMail don’t require.

In relation to GMail specifically see[1]

Betteridge's law of headlines. No. I've never seen this be a problem. You set a definition of done for every ticket and stick to it. QED. If you can't do that, then process isn't your problem. It's maturity.
According to the article Appalachia is also under consideration, which I guess would alleviate the water concerns. The only justification I can think of for a project like this is BANANAs making the reformation of current cities impossible. But I share your skepticism. But it's always nice to see cool architectural mockups!
Your assumptions are right. The people downvoting are mostly just salty.
Your view of what impedance mismatch is doesn't sound accurate. It's not about declarative or imperative or syntax or strings, etc...

It's about data modeling, one models data using relations, the other models data in a hierarchical way (using maps, arrays, objects, etc...). They are two different ways to structure your data, hence the impedance mismatch.
Holy shit, Night City is becoming real.
From the website, it is unclear to me what the business model will be in the future. Will you go for a model similar to what GitLab does?
Ah, I was thinking in the wrong direction. Thanks.
So this is where my taxes are going to? Let alone the 1% National Insurance increases next year to pay for all of this?

Which direction is the circus?
I feel every attempt at community-by-design bears within it the seed of inhumane horror. Forget about the energy equation of building a city in a desert, what's the on-boarding process for prospective inhabitants ? Putting the price of accommodation sky-high to make sure everybody's in the right tax-bracket (or even earns enough to not pay taxes) ? Going through an interview process to only take in people with the "right vibes" ? How do you get teachers, garbage collectors, plumbers, nurses, all sorts of manual workers ? Park them in a ghetto like in Dubai, make ideological adhesion rather than money the filter (good luck with funding) or try to automate them away ?

I agree. The fact ProtonMail exists in a world that's pretty hostile to individual privacy is hardly their fault, I think they were pretty good at explaining what their limits are compared to a lot of companies out there. It'd be churlish to leave ProtonMail for say, Gmail or another mainstream offering that makes far less of an effort to be private and transparent in my opinion.

I feel there's a lot of people who are absolutists about privacy without realising the legal and technical realities of that absolutism. I don't agree for one minute with governments and corporations compromising people's privacy, but whatever we like to tell ourselves about liberal democracy all authority amounts to "might makes right" in the end, and ProtonMail doesn't have the mightiest club to swing around in this situation.
PII, PHI, classified data, controlled unclassified information, proprietary trade secrets, a requirement to host user data in the country the user lives, a company is massive enough to own data centers and may as well use them. There are so many reasons to self-host. Unless your service is as big as AWS/Azure and can afford to build a private cloud in a location of the customer's choosing for sufficiently large customers, "only cloud" isn't good enough for many use cases. You're putting your own convenience as a developer ahead of the needs of certain users. Which is fine, I guess. You don't need to serve everyone. But you shouldn't be out there acting like self-hosting never makes sense. You may as well ask why some facilities have their own generators and their own wells and don't just universally hook into the public grids. Some applications have requirements for hard perimeters and self-reliance.

If they tried to rebuild a functional modern city in an existing dying city it would be called gentrification and vilified by the current occupants.
Whether you like it or not, ProtonMail's business model conflict with most of the jurisdictions. In that sense, they are no better than PirateBay, Wikileaks or Sci-Hub.
They are. But perhaps there is little reason for them to be.

Especially if everyone else wanting to play needs to open up as well.
They do sort of mention it at the bottom (grep e2ee), but don’t say anything concrete about it.
Fun fact, if you are not a US citizen, you have no 4th amendment rights against seizure of your data. No judge or legal process necessary beyond a blanket executive order.
You’re not wrong about Civil Forfeiture not being given enough time in court, but in regards to your commentary about the Constitution serving as law, well the Constitution makes this part clear:

> This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Now whilst the Constitution was written to be understood by a learned 18th Century gentleman, or the average Joe of the time, not just the lawyers, the problematic part comes from the fact that it is law and laws require enforcement and penalties for its violation. Each branch of the Federal Government is bound by oath to uphold it (in the legislative process, prior to the Executive signing off on it and issuing new rules, as well as when it is in dispute before the courts). Clearly that does not evenly occur.
What do you think nuclear costs? I think you are probably unintentionally operating on a fallacy in this article, which is using decade-old costs. Renewables and storage have fallen in price massively. Nuclear was a great idea a decade ago but when you look at the costs there's no reason anymore. It's just too expensive.
From the sound of it, he’s still looking for all of the “investors putting in $400B of funding” at this point. For now, it seems he’s just doing PR and paying an architecture firm to make 3D renders.
This is the way it’s always been though. First it was Java, then Ruby, then Clojure, then Go, then Node, and now Rust. As languages get popular, multiple projects get rewritten in them. At first it’s a novelty, but it is often useful to see what the strengths and weaknesses are of a language to implement an existing project. Eventually, it becomes annoying to have “written in X” attached to articles and links, but soon, that will diminish.

The only time when I think it’s really appropriate for a mature language is when the language itself is a feature. But that is really rare for that to be the case.

Other languages (eg Python, Haskell and Erlang) are in the mix too, but more evenly distributed and less fad-ish.

This is just part of the hype cycle of languages. I’m not saying Rust is only a fad, but we are definitely in that part of the cycle for Rust.
Replace "abolish" with "weaken", and my comment remains the same.

Moreover, oversight and accountability cost money, which leads to more bloat, which leads to more people complaining about government.
Monoclonals outpatient treatment: 70% reduction in Covid hospitalizations
