"The differences in outcomes for different assumed discount rates are dramatic — for example, NEA LCOE calculation for residential PV at 3% discount rate produces $150/MWh, while at 10% it produces $250/MWh.[15] LCOE estimate prepared by Lazard (2020) for nuclear power based on unspecified methodology produced $164/MWh, while LCOE calculated by the investor for an actual Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant in Finland came out to be below 30 EUR/MWh.[16]"
But that is ASCII. That part of Unicode is a literal copy of ASCII. In any case, just putting an "if out of range, return 0" clause wouldn't hurt performance noticeably given all the indirection already present. If used in a loop, the CPU will predict that branch perfectly every time if your data is correct. There is no reason to just crash.

The requirement for corporations to have a board of directors at all is imposed by the state.

You have to argue that the state shouldn't be able to impose requirements on the situations where it relaxes individual liability, not complain about about the natural rights of corporations (they don't have any).
Bigleaf Networks | Multiple engineering roles | Portland, OR, or REMOTE | Full-time

We provide peace of mind to SMB's who rely on the internet, by building enterprise-grade SD-WAN solutions on top of commodity-grade network hardware. We touch a little bit of everything: Linux system/kernel development, hardware, networking, ops, OpenVPN, Python, Go, Wireguard, React, AWS, Azure, etc. And looking ahead, we're contemplating: k3s, DPDK, and perhaps some chaos engineering. See: https://www.bigleaf.net/careers/.

I'm personally hiring multiple roles:

* DevOps + Site Reliability Engineers (SRE).

* Back-end Software Engineers.

* Engineering Managers.

If you're interested, see https://www.bigleaf.net/careers/. Or reach out: dan g at bigleaf dot net.
Harsh review. Haven't read the book, by Dan Carlin's podcast is very good imho. Carlin makes it clear throughout that he's an amateur historian.
Crypto is ultimately going to prove to be a more efficient means of value exchange, and easier for developers to utilize that the current financial system.

That alone is enough to make me feel sure of my investments. However, there are many beautiful things that will come out of Web3.0 as well. End to end open source VPNs, containerized and running on a decentralized cloud is already a reality. You an use it today for free on Android and IOS (Velocity VPN - Running Sentinel back end.) Its open source and anonymous end to end. No one is keeping logs.

Don't look at the shit coins and the bubble and think the dream of Web3.0 is not real.

This is a most interesting chart - the race ratios by generation. Boomers are predominantly white, whereas each successive generation is more diverse:

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/07/30/most-common...

So I wonder if that has some thing to do with it - once the later generations age into the "leadership" ages, boards should naturally become more diverse over time.
Stupid question, but if I wanted to recreate Runa's analysis to learn these tools, where do I go to get it?

I clicked over to Wikileaks + Kapersky's post, interested in possibly writing a small shell script to automate running some of these commands on a given file as a weekend project, but it'd be hard to test such a tool w/o the original binary.

(Maybe it's just been a long day and I'm missing a plainly labeled link, and if so, I apologize for not RTFMing hard enough :) )
Best Practices (Why I Hate Them)
>> walking in a suburban area of TX is kind of a nightmare because it's scaled for cars not humans which makes walking unpleasant and sometimes dangerous

I'm more of a suburb guy, so this is sort of arguing against my position, but...

So back when software developers used to travel, like 3 years ago, I went to Texas for a conference, and I stayed at a hotel in some exurban area. Walking back from the grocery store that was maybe a quarter mile from the hotel not one but two cars stopped and people asked me if I needed a ride.

Think I'm fine, thank you!

> I know folks are saying Trevor and Nikola Motors have some sort of ground breaking hydrogen tech

So, they have "ground breaking tech" in a dead-end technology then? The energy losses required to power vehicles with hydrogen are much greater than losses with electric batteries (there was a recent article on HN that really drove this point home for me). Seems like the only folks pushing hydrogen these days are folks that made bets on what turned out to be the wrong tech (cough, cough, Toyota).
The government wouldn't track what you do online, that's ridiculous! They would have to ask a social network to do it on their behalf.
That's a reasonable concern. You can easily verify for yourself that the recovery process works, and you can audit the source code for the Android client (and build it from the audited code) to ensure that it handles the keys as advertised. If this were your typical proprietary system then I might be worried, but Muun is pretty transparent.

The biggest potential point of failure, if you installed pre-built binaries from a third party such as Google Play or the Apple App Store, is that it could be updated to a new version which leaks the wallet-side private key. Which is a potential concern with any wallet software you don't audit for yourself. Of course you're also trusting the system software provider (i.e. Google or Apple) to run the application properly, as with any software running on their respective operating systems.

Personally I trust it with funds comparable to what I would normally keep in a wallet for daily use, not a safe or a bank vault. For larger amounts where the inconvenience of cold storage is justified I use a hardware wallet (Trezor).
I would just count this as a learning experience and move on. Who I would be interested in going after is not the scammer, but instead AT&T. The fact that the scammer knew you had just received a card, already knew your personal information (at least knew enough to convince you they were from AT&T) is very suspicious. These kind of scams operate using the inside connections.

Inform AT&Ts security department, and if they dismiss you and don't replace the card, then inform the media. AT&T should be motivated enough to setup a sting and put people in jail over this, but if they're not the media can embarrass them in to it.
Aurora | Service Mesh Engineer (and lots more!) | Hybrid (Bay Area, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Bozeman) | VISA | Full Time | https://aurora.tech

At Aurora, we’re on a mission to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. It all starts with the Aurora Driver, a platform created from industry-leading hardware and software and designed to adapt across a variety of vehicle types and industries.

As we prepare to go public this year, we’ve been pulling back the curtain on our technology and progress in self-driving - you can watch our engineers talk about our perception, simulation, hardware stack and more at https://aurora.tech/ai.

As we work towards building our first product, the Aurora Driver, my team is looking for someone to lead our service mesh effort.

What you’ll do as a Service Mesh Engineer:

Connect, secure, control, and observe traffic in Kubernetes clusters for our long-running services and APIs. You will work on our key ingress, as well as manage our services' authentication and telemetry. This person will have a huge impact in establishing a service mesh at Aurora and determining how distributed systems will work at our company.

When we’re back in the office, Aurora will run on a hybrid model. This particular role may also be open to remote (US only) for the right candidate.

We have tons of jobs open across Software and Hardware engineering - you can check them all out at https://aurora.tech/careers!
I worked at a large e-commerce company with a marketplace of several hundred million. That's what Ethereum has, a massive set of users, at least compared to other cryptocurrencies. There is no reason why web3 won't work with anything else, but onboarding users is really, really hard with even Ethereum, and that's a problem for any app.

Your point should have been my third point in my long rant above.

Yes, until the price stabilizes, it will be less exciting for a lot of people.

But, until we have utility applications, the ecosystem will just be full of grifters causing instability.

Seems like a catch 22. But, hopefully utility applications will start to appear and that will help stabilize things.

And, at least the value is consistent in rising, not falling. :)
Nothing in POSIX mandates that isalnum has to be implemented using UB. It is entirely permissible to return 0 for values out of range. Or -1. Or anything else. POSIX is not part of the C language, if a function's behaviour is not defined for a given input, that's not UB, that's a license for the implementation to do whatever is natural. Which can be crashing embarrassingly, but why would you do that.
So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time…
ASCII goes to 7F, not to FF; it is a 7 bit character code.

Therefore, for instance, isspace(0xA0) might usefully report true if we are in a Unicode locale, otherwise not.

The 0x80-0xFF values are also used in 8 bit extensions over ASCII, like ISO-8859 1 and ISO 8859-15 character sets. E.g. 0xE0 is à in ISO-8859 1 (which is, of course, the same as the Unicode U+00E0 but logically distinct).

A totally different 8 bit extension is KOI-8.

The point is valid that if you don't support any "weird" extensions to ASCII (just ISO Latin) or non-ASCII 8 bit, then there isn't much of a need for run-time table indirection. The cases that may arise can be handled ad hoc. Along the lines of "if we are in an ASCII locale, then report false above 7F, otherwise go through the combined Latin/Unicode combined table".
Which means that ordered systems must create disorder in order to maintain their own order, and the place where you find the greatest order to disorder is in other actively ordered systems.

I agree with the logic; it would need to be before. I'd use statistics and a team of actuarial types to try and get the numbers right. It wouldn't be perfect, nothing ever is.

Your strategy has the same problem - you have to predict how many last minute travellers there are too. If you just leave an unnecessary buffer then the strategy fails. The one of us who does a better job of putting exactly 100 bodies in 100 seats - none left over - is going to have a more profitable airline. That is somewhat core to the argument us pedant capitalists make.
I like this truck exterior design. If they "grow up" and remove touch based centrist UX (Thank you, Elon - you saved a lot of money and ruin decades of car UX) this will sell very good numbers in the EU.

Recently I moved out of the city towards rural life and this type of vehicle will give me all I need, including good cornering for fun (due to mix of air/hydraulic suspension). Definitely looking forward to purchase (may be second gen) EV truck.

For the American market they will face serious competition from Ford and other truck manufacturers who have brand recognition and solid fan base.
The US lives in a post-factual society that is under siege from Marxist organizations (BLM, feminism, progressivism), obesity and tindr/hypergamy that distract from reality.

The MSM won't talk about the above topics, while Rome burns.

The common explanation is that we don't have existential threats today, which allows clever Marxists to direct the narrative (mass hysteria.)

My extended family is struggling with an obese 8 year-old. One side of the family is aware of the seriousness, and the other side hasn't fully grasped it yet. We'll see if he makes it or not. 8 years old and he looks like a couch.

It feels like at this point one can start a boutique streaming service specifically for documentaries about scams. Just from recent years alone I can think of Alex Gibney's Theranos movie, Netflix and Hulu's Fyre Festival movies, Hulu's WeWork movie, Amazon Prime's LuLaRoe documentary, and who is Joe Exotic if not yet another entrepreneurial charlatan and egomaniac from the same cloth of Elizabeth Holmes and Adam Neumann?

Really looking forward to the Ozy documentary.

Care to explain why China is the villain here? They're the workbench of the western world that has outsourced those emissions. Per capita they use less and historically have not contributed much to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

> users can not (and a tiny subset of users that actually know how to, will not) securely manage* key material.

True. And the is also true for password. Sure, generation is different and a way to authorizing a transaction is different, but otherwise form usage perspective password can be viewed as a primitive case of a private key. And industry made a huge progress in password authentications: password managers, OTP, biometric authentications, WebAuthn, etc. Specifically password managers and biometric authentication mechanisms can be re-used for private keys as well.

Having multiple wallets, multisig authentication and smart contracts allows to have recovery paths, while making sure that varios custodians can only perform certain transactions and in a transparent way.
The Password Rant
> No. They think they're there on merit, because well --- of course, they're white.

You leave no room for the possibility that people in such positions are self aware, or even capable of understanding the broader context. I suspect this is what folks are reacting to.
I think I could achieve the unstable concept reasonably easily :)
Well nice try to reduce it on that. For me it read like the core is that employees are not treated with respect by Amazon management. The rest are just examples. Amazon is very well known for disrespecting employees, actually I was not so surprised about the article.

The gender and race problems are just the sugar on top: White men that call female employees "baby doll" and face no consequences - is actually not even about gender, depending on the context it's a crime. What if she would call him "tiny Wiener" for fun. Would she keep her job?

What does it have to do with woke? You know it's only a word to discredit people challenging the status-quo by speaking up against nature destruction and social problems. Like Nazi to discredit even justified nationalist thinking or Commie to discredit any non free market thinking.

I agree with this. There are so many philosophical debates out there regarding what happens after we die, if animals are "conscious", if computers or AI could have "consciousness", but in my opinion it's all a big illusion created out of our own egos as a rationalization for our existence.

We are biological machines. Sure, we have an awareness of ourselves, but so do computers in some contexts; for example you could argue a certain types of self-modifying or monitoring code has an awareness of itself. It's already been proven that animals have an awareness of themselves when looking in a mirror, such as Dolphins, Chimpanzees, etc. Humans may be a bit further along in our cognitive development but there is no obvious point where you can say "Humans are conscious" because we're all somewhere on a sliding scale of intelligence and self-awareness.
I may get in trouble for this but it's funny how what is effectively attempted wealth redistribution - I mean massive money printing and deficit spending - is actually having the opposite effect of creating massive inequality, where there are now all kinds or people for whom money is basically nothing, while there are others who still make basically what they did in the 90s. That is why I'm not a socialist, not because I don't believe in equality, but because government overreach always makes inequality worse.
I consider myself relatively up-to-date on the web, and where it’s going, but I have not ever heard of web3. This means mostly to me that it doesn’t have the traction it needs to be actually happening - at least not yet.

I’m certainly not the barometer of whether or not a technology or protocol will be successful.

I rolled out kPow initially for my team of 10 to help us manage and monitor our clusters.

We’ve now rolled it out to our 400+ engineers who use it every day to help them gain visibility and insight to their data and topics, manage offsets, amount other things. It handles HUGE clusters with no issue, and the RBAC features are great.

I’ve tried them all. While there are some ok alternatives, I honestly find them toys compared to kPow. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
The incumbent telcos would love a regulatory framework where they must store address info and other personal data of their clients: Clients would then be much less likely to switch.

International tourists will also be less likely to get a local SIM card and then pay exorbitant roaming charges.

(Here in South Africa, clients must provide proof of their residential address. Some telcos even insist on verifying the thumbprints of their clients)
Setting up the FW and routing is not trivial for anyone who hasn't had to deal with that aspect of Linux before. 99% of people are going to want a straightforward tunnel that simply forwards everything to the default route table of the server. Which is of course what the linked script does. But even experienced devs are doing to have no idea what the heck a prerouting chain or a masquerade rule does.

Independently of Ozy, when I see the cascade of bad news for someone/something, I wonder about the timing: Why do all these stories come out at once, even though they've been true for years?

Some possibilities: Some people like to join the angry mob and pile on, stories become more interesting to the news publishers (e.g., what was yet another story about an abusive culture at some unknown company becomes much more interesting now that people care about Ozy), and people who might have hesitated previously now feel safe sharing their stories, now that Ozy is down and impotent.

It's an important question; the phenomenon, IME, has nothing to do with the validity of the target; it happens to good people too.
I just recently found out about a great cybersecurity podcast called Darknet Diaries (and having been binging it ever since). Episode 9 covers Mt Gox and it goes into detail of timeline of the developers and the numerous breaches. Highly recommended.

All that is to say that Coinbase and Mt Gox were operating in completely different leagues of sophistication.

In general, people may more likely believe they got where they are based on merit when they're higher up on the totem pole. That makes sense to me. Where you lose me is when you say that someone's skin color makes them have even more of a tendency (and to say that "of course" that's the way it works).
Um. Actually, cyber bullying (probably) correlates with suicide. That is, the suicide victim likely has other contributing causes. Maybe that depression? Maybe it's being abused as a child. Etc.

I am by no means belittling suicide (note: a close family member used that exit), nor am I belittling bullying. It's evit. But it's rare such things can be traced to a single trigger. Life is complicated. Sometimes we're too willing to oversimplify.
That’s some pretty extreme all-or-nothing thinking. Why do you believe this is the only solution?
