I would love to hear SonicWall explaining why their SSL is superior to IPSec. They've advertised and forced many clients (including ours) to choose SSL VPN with expensive licensing. Now I read this as a bad choice. Very annoyed.
I'm not defending the F-150 as the pinnacle of trucking.

A common modification for people wanting to go through something more challenging than a puddle is a snorkel, but I imagine you would be very challenged to make such a modification to this EV?

Also most of the time if you go through something too deep with a conventional engine it's going to bog out - as long as you don't then try to turn it over you can empty the engine of water and get it back working quite reliably. I suspect this EV will not be so robust.

Anyway, as I said, this truck will likely suite most people.
>>but most companies don’t actually want to lose valuable employees.

The word 'valuable' is just a marketing term. Just like the work 'rockstar developer'.

Unless you are like the top 1 - 2 people relevant to a very important project you really are not valuable in any meaningful sense to the company. You might be expensive in terms of time to replace. But you really are not valuable in any real sense. These companies have high attrition rates, people leave all the time and they just do fine.
Whether a clearance is revoked will depend entirely on the specifics of the object. Maybe it is part of a new stealth fighter program. Maybe it is something for NASA. Maybe it is just a blue sky physics experiment researching an idea about wave propagation over a surface. The fact it is being moved during daylights and isn't covered by a box/tarp tells me it isn't anything too top secret.
One of my favorite side stories in "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss is the University library, where they reveal a history of hard fought, vicious battles between factions of librarians, over distant catalog and indexing systems. It drives home how complex and vast a task it must have been to organize large numbers of books before computers.

Shipping things across the ocean is externalizing carbon impacts of shipping emissions. It shouldn't be nearly as cheap as it is.

Also, overseas manufacturing amounts to environmental law arbitrage, enabled by falsely cheap shipping costs, so you can pollute as much as you want in Indonesia or China or India or whatever and then ship it to environmentally-restricted US.

And we're enriching our enemies (China) and technologically and infrastructurally enabling them. All things that also aren't priced into the "cheap goods".

Free trade arguments also fail when China does massive government investment to block access to emergent manufacturing markets by unsubsidized countries. And they manipulate their currency.

America should be onboard with righting the actual carbon emissions cost of goods shipment, but come on, the rich are getting rich off of that in America and don't give two shits about the middle class or future prosperity of the USA.

After all, they're all buying fortress estates in New Zealand for the forthcoming collapse that they themselves are willfully enabling.
What do you see the ISO standard as modifying here?

There are zillions of standards after all, most not implemented by Apple and of the implemented ones, many are results of corporate lobbying or interests. Being a published standard doesn't mean it's somehow in the public interest or there is pressure to implement it.
It's because several modern car manufacturers are using "natural" products for wire insulation and hoses in an effort to be green. Many are soy-based. Rodents call this stuff "delicious."

No, it depends on what courts consider "unconscionable". We will likely never know for simple cases like changing your user agent because Facebook isn't going to sue someone over it, but they have fought (and won) against wholesale scraping of user profiles, which is mentioned in the linked article.

This isn’t secure re: your last point. If every country in Europe has numerous private keys it’s inevitable they’re leaked and used to sign fake vaccine passes.
Yes that is exactly the plan. In any major conflict the satellites will be the first casualties.
I think it's fine for parents to decide. If deaf parents want deaf kids and hearing parents want hearing kids those are both valid. Their kids their choice.
I'll add this in. I don't have to watch my language around the right associated sacred cows. I can talk shit about religion, attack anti abortion activism and still be fine. But man, do anything with the left's cows and you'd eat a ban or worse.
Military power is roughly equivalent to GDP. Is there any other country that can come close to matching the power of a Chinese economy on war footing?

And other countries, especially those with any sort of rivalry that could turn into a war should be wary of the USA.
Thanks, that term came up with good search results. I appreciate it.
> I imagine these solutions are popular because they are more likely to function through corporate firewalls, where IPsec might be blocked.

I implement IPSec at work, because we need the real deal.

Though for my personal projects, my infra is using OpenVPN. The reason is simple: it's so much easier to configure and understand, and the desktop clients are usually more modern and stable.

With IPsec, there's always these plethora of extensions and subtleties that each client will support or not. Clients will support Cisco IPsec but will bug with strongswan, strongswan clients will not play well with windows, Android client will not support IKEv2, etc etc etc. From my experience, there's a lot of "finding the right client for the right setup for each platform" with IPsec.

For OpenVPN, usually the native windows/Linux(NM) clients will work out of the box, which is a much better experience than a third party client.

As for TLS VPNs being more prone to vulnerabilities, that does not scare me all that much, since there's always SSH behind the VPN anyway, so it's usually "good enough" for non corporate security.
I've been running this way since the beginning of the year. Works great, just need to set DOCKER_HOST when launching docker-compose.
Personally I think Gemini team's approach has been to throw out the baby with the bath water. This is really unfortunate because the world needs a system which allows for lightweight pages where the user has absolute control over what is fetched, what is sent etc.
It’s easy to miss. They’re not really advertising it.
> Having traveled to about twenty countries and lived in two continents I can tell you, with nearly 100% certainly that the vast majority of people are fiscally conservative

That's not a representative sample. Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure, the people you meet as a foreign visitor are unlikely to be representative of the country as a whole. You probably spent most of your time in big cities, or tourism sites–how many rural villagers did you meet? The people to whom you spoke were more likely to be bilingual/multilingual, more likely to associate with (and hence be influenced by) foreigners, quite possibly even of above-average socioeconomic status. And the 20 countries you visited are probably not a representative sample of the world's population either.

Are there surveys on the percentage of people identifying as "fiscal conservatives", or supporting fiscally conservative policies, across different countries? I think survey data would be far more convincing than anyone's personal anecdotes.

> There are degrees when it comes to social issues, some having to do with the differences in cultures around the world.

You claimed the "The vast majority of people, anywhere in the world, are... socially liberal". As the term "socially liberal" is normally defined in Western societies, that clearly isn't true. Here is a recent survey on acceptability of homosexuality worldwide – https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/06/25/global-divide-... – they asked people "should homosexuality be accepted by society?" Unfortunately, they only surveyed four African countries – 7% of Nigerians said "yes", 9% of Tunisians, 14% of Kenyans, 54% of South Africans. If they had surveyed more, I am sure most African countries would have produced results much closer to Nigeria/Tunisia/Kenyan than to South Africa. Similarly, they only surveyed three Middle Eastern countries – Lebanon (13%), Turkey (25%), Israel (47%). Even in Israel, social acceptance of homosexuality is a minority view, and the average Middle Eastern country is going to be closer to Lebanon or Turkey than to Israel. Obviously on LGBT issues, the average African or Middle Eastern person is not socially liberal – and if we looked at other social issues, such as abortion rights or gender issues or criminal justice reform, I doubt the average African or Middle Eastern person would be socially liberal on those issues either.

Unless you are trying to argue that the average African, while not socially liberal by Western standards, is socially liberal by African standards. If that's your argument, how do you know what constitutes social liberalism by African standards?
That's not really how spam works though. Without spam filters, we'd still be inundated with spam, even though almost everyone just ignores it.

Anyway, your system sounds interesting, and I'd be interested in hearing how it actually holds up, if you ever get a substantial number of users.
…streets don’t account for SUVs and pickup trucks in their designs?

Absolutely disheartening to see EVs amenable to people who drive trucks and SUVs though, one would hope their manly culture of overpaying for patriotic vehicles would change before the climate does, but alas.
I worked with two guys who ran Sheep farms in Australia. Once at the lunch time they saw a couple squirrels (this was in Sri Lanka) and they were really fascinated by them. They said they don't have squirrels in Australia and I was fascinated by that. A quick Google kind of says there are at least a few still left[1] in Australia.

That's of course a wrong assumption of course but it's also not about persons necessarily. Eg lots of setups log the process list regularly to centralised monitoring.
If you made it a tax, you could make it punitive enough to dangerous vehicles to really change behavior/design.
Hell no. You're telling me that it's in the domain of parents to knowingly cripple their kids sensory function? That's absurd.

Prefixing this with saying that I agree the UX on this is not great and could definitely be improved both from a usability standpoint and a security standpoint.

That said: The actual reality where someone gets their password stolen because they used 1Password's ClI tool seems pretty hard to run across. You have to have something running _at the exact moment_ when you're running this tool (and I imagine it shouldn't be running for very long) that also manages to harvest the entire set of running processes and their arguments. Said something then has to also transmit this information to a third-party server AND that third-party server has to be looking for this specific CLI tool in the hopes of catching it running.

Zoom is unlikely to manage to grab a list of processes at the same time that you're using this CLI tool (because it will be doing this on some internal timer or at the time when you are selecting something to share, and you have to be using it while using Zoom which should be a less-frequent occurrence due to generally paying attention to the call). And on top of that, if they even submit this information to their servers, I highly doubt they're going around deliberately scanning for passwords to maliciously use since they're a company focused on teleconferencing and not black hat activities.

And even beyond that this should still be more secure than a common alternative I've run into (and have done myself, because convenience was more important to me than 100% security at those jobs) where developers are just storing passwords and tokens in plain text in a bash/zsh rc file. That's a pretty easy target for a more realistic case of a module on something like NPM gaining some malicious code that checks some common files and patterns (e.g.: a line including export, PASSWORD, and =) and harvests that data to send to a malicious server.

And again, I'm not saying this is _good_, it's definitely not. I'm just saying that the case where this is actually exploited is pretty slim, bordering on not going to actually happen even if something just so happens to harvest that command running and sends it to their servers. Because it's much more likely that the thing harvesting that info isn't interested in stealing your password. There are much easier targets for malicious code to go after.
If parents aren't allowed to harm kids after birth why should they be allowed harm their kids before birth... counter argument needs to be mind blowing and i'm all ears.

Literally the first sentence (extraordinary housing supports is code for increased foreclosures):

Do you really think windmills were fundamentally restricted by a lack of technology in the 50s/60s/70s? And that aggressive early solar investment wouldn't have produced what we have now back in the 1980s? Or that battery chemistry wouldn't have been substantially advanced with aggressive funding?

But I do agree we should have made a lot more LFTR style ORNL reactors. Nuclear killed itself with PWR solid rod designs and ignoring the Oak Ridge designs, all so they could have weapons grade isotopes.

Oil has owned our military, political, and industrial landscape. Our "defense department" has force projected all over the globe to enable access to oil, we've fought wars at the behest of oil companies and oil states for a trillion dollars, topped democratically elected regimes to keep oilmen happy, repressed the effects of oil/coal for the oilmen.

Assuming that those 600kgal start out ice cold and all end up evaporated at the boiling point, that’s 146MW of cooling. LCoE for plain solar power is about $31/MWh. Assuming you could discharge heat without evaporation at a COP of 4, that’s about $26k/day to buy power. Not at all cheap, but not insane. Interestingly, that is a lot more than the cost to buy that much water wholesale, even in Arizona, so I guess this is why people like cooling towers.

I believe that squirrels are much more common in US (and Canadian?) cities than they are in the parks of the big cities of most other countries, which is why they can be so interesting to tourists.

Up until around mid-19th century or so, they were rare in US cities too. If you saw a squirrel in the city it was probably someone's pet. According to a newspaper account from 1856 New York, hundreds of people gathered around a tree that an escaped pet squirrel was spotted in to watch it.

In the later half of the 19th century, there was a popular movement in park design and management in the US that said that making city parks more natural was essential to the health and wellbeing of city dwellers who did not have time to get out of the city. As part of that many cities purposefully released squirrels into their parks.

This is also why you find Eastern gray squirrels in many cities far outside the Eastern gray's native range (which is as you can guess from the name the eastern US). When people wanted to introduce squirrels into, say, Seattle parks they didn't do what you might expect and send someone out to the nearest forest to rustle up some Western gray squirrels to move to the city. No, they had Eastern grays shipped across country and released those in Seattle parks.

The reason for this is that in many areas the native trees are not the kind of trees people like in their parks and so city parks often were largely populated by imported trees from the eastern US. If those imported trees did not produce the kinds of nuts and seeds that the native squirrels like, then native squirrels weren't going to work out in the parks so they brought in squirrels from where the trees came from.

Unfortunately, Eastern grays aren't very picky eaters. They are quite happy eating the nuts and seeds from the native trees and so quickly spread from the parks to the wild and have largely replaced the native Western gray squirrels in Washington. I think the Western grays here are down to just one population.

(The other native squirrels here, Douglas, Red, and Northern flying) weren't affected much by the spread of Eastern grays because they fill sufficiently difference niches in the ecosystem. With Western grays on the other hand Eastern grays are essentially slightly smaller versions of them that like a much bigger variety of nuts and seeds).
To be fair, Fords smaller SUVs are essentially sedans with an extended roof and trunk. A Ford Escape has almost identify fuel milage as a Toyota Camry. Likewise, a Ford F-150 gets nearly the same gas mileage as a Chevy Equinox.

At this point, there's a lot of engine tech that really helps to optimize for a vehicle's power demands. Ford in particular is running very small volume engines at high compression ratios to get some great fuel economy.
I loved all the squirrel stories and added mine too.
What are energy companies doing that's worth nationalizing them over? Whip into shape how? They're energy providers, not users.
Grandparent mentioned "planned economy" + "nationalizing energy" which is a fair comparison to USSR as it was illegal to have private companies there and economy was planned in great detail
There's only one Question really: can it use a Dockerfile?
Tricking your adversary into spending a huge R&D budget studying ESP is money well wasted: it’s unlikely to yield anything of value that can be weaponized against you.

If a SciFi weapon would break the laws of physics, and you can prove the equations unsolvable, leaking documents suggesting you solved them is money well wasted: your adversary is unlikely to get anything of value out of pursuing that weapon.

Pretending your stealth tech is better than it is… Is tricking your adversary into trying to be competitive with stealth tech you yourself aren’t competitive with. That’s a…questionable move. You might trick your adversary into developing better stealth tech than you.
The massive investments in autonomous vehicles are maybe a causal factor in the trucker shortage: fewer people want to invest in getting the license if they attach any credence to the widespread claims that the job might not exist in 5 years.
Well, that's a bit amateur hour. You either care about security or you don't. And here they clearly don't...which doesn't mean their products aren't otherwise secure, but does mean they're being created by a team that views security as, you know, one of several use cases.

Just got to hope they decided to prioritise the security use case for the things you care about, I guess?

> If automated trucks result in a lower capital and operational cost on behalf of the business, even with an ample supply of qualified truckers, why wouldn't that necessitate investment in that space?

No. The premium on known legal liability and working tech would outweigh a certain amount of opex (and capex can just be amortized into opex). And the research would need to pay itself off at several multiples. If the truckers were making minimum wage, it's unlikely that the amount you could charge would justify the investment ever. If they were all making $500/hr it would justify a huge research project.

Analogue physical controls are ideal. Infinite-spin dials suck (except for speaker volume), and digital buttons for controlling ranges are even worse: fan speed, temperature, blend door control, wiper intermittency rate, etc. work best with absolutely poitioned analogue controls that you can feel the current state by touch alone. Early 2000s cars do it best, in my experience.
Nitpick: GP said EV's, this says hybrids.

> For a simple starter example, we know that every person on Earth has a height, defined as the distance from the bottom of their feet to the top of their head when standing upright.

This is a silly mistake to make in an article on statistics. Any statistician worth their salt can see the problem with an operational definition of height that starts with "bottom of their feet".

I like this article, but then it goes on to miss another very critical part of the explanation:

> What if we selected a subset at random, and used this subset to estimate the mean? That is, we could collect a random sample of individuals from the population and measure the average height of all of the individuals in the sample.

Why would we select a subset at random? Why shouldn't we try to select a representative subset? We know from experience that biological sex, country of birth, and affluence of family are three strong predictors of height. Why shouldn't we deliberately select a subset that balances out these variables in proportion to their population?

There is a good reason to do a random sample rather than try to construct a representative sample, but the article just brushes past it!
