If you're a CTO, why are you building out features, if I may ask? Shouldn't most of that be delegated to devs under you?

In any case, it sounds like you might need to try to find a community of folks to help mentor you, and act as sanity checks? At least, that's my thought.

Though with everything that's happened in the last two years, it may just be burnout, in which case rest is probably the best approach.
I got it for my daughter the instant she was eligible last year, because cervical cancer is awful and it seemed stupid not to.

My experience suggests that it was something the doctor's office wasn't actively pushing -- they made it known that it was available without me having to ask, but it was presented very much as a "do you want to?" thing, rather than as part of the "of course you'll be getting this" set of earlier vaccines.

Then it was sort of a pain to actually get, because it required an extra doctor visit for the second shot in the series.

I can see all that adding up to hurting uptake.

Build something for yourself. Doesn't if it's shitty. Just build something.
>My point was that if you are not careful when you write software in C++ and use modern features, you will get behaviour you don't want or didn't expect.

This is an unsubstantiated point and simply untrue. Modern features have worked hard to maintain what is referred to as "zero cost abstractions".

>If you run your own business I'm sure you understand that.

I do own and operate a business, a quant firm engaged in HFT. It's part of the reason why I hire so many C++ developers.

>Not keeping up with the standard has nothing to do with ignorance or refusal, but with constraints.

The ignorance comes from going into an interview where one would presumably be expected to have a basic understand of modern C++ functionality and then proceeding to call that interview BS when in fact it was you who simply had a poor understanding of what was expected.

If you don't want to use lambda expressions or you feel like using C++ like it's still the year 2003, so be it, that is your choice... just don't be surprised and go around calling interviewers full of BS when you continuously refuse to keep your understanding of technology up to date.

The problem in this case is not with the "BS interview" or the interviewer, the problem is with you. If you do not keep your understanding of C++ up to date, for whatever reason, then an interviewer is right to reject you for it in favor of someone who does take the time to keep their skills up-to-date.
“Unrelated reasons”

The average American commits three felonies a day. I don’t think he was targeted by the feds for unrelated reasons even if the actual charges were unrelated.

We don't know that they are/were going to do that either. It's just a popular 'fan theory.'

Imagine sticking your hand in the oven for 1 second. Now imagine sticking it in a pot of boiling water for 1 second. One you do every day, the other is an immediate trip to the hospital. What’s the difference? Water is far more dense than the air in the oven thus will transfer much more heat to your hand over that same duration.
To an extent, this is one of the goals, to free up engineers to work on higher level things. Whether it meets that goal in some cases is debatable, and it’s certainly not ideal for us engineers who like to get to the bottom of things.
So my take-away from browsing the site:

It's the team who built an open-source editor at GitHub and they are building a new editor. Cool... I want to check it out.

Signup for a waitlist? Login? Seems like they're building a business around an editor... Cool, we have a number of those. I'll wait to see when they have a product I can evaluate instead of when they're talking about what they're going to do.
Now that's a movie I'd watch
If you've been CTO for 8 years, there is a good chance that it's time for you to delegate more of the technical work to some team leads, while you focus on the wider needs of the company. Depending on how large the company is, your main task right now might be to better integrate the work of the tech team with the work of the marketing team, or inventory team, or content team. I've been writing about this issue a lot lately, see:

"Should top managers focus on their peers or on those who they lead?"

https://demodexio.substack.com/p/should-top-managers-focus-o...

Many newly promoted managers stay focused on the work they used to do, but fail to give enough attention to the other parts of the business, with which they need to learn about and integrate with.
I hope you set him straight on that count.
As stated earlier, AWS has financial incentive to not update the status page. Nobody is willing to call them on the conflict of interest in a meaningful, market-changing way.
In the end, everything you do for money will become "work", because if it was only the fun parts people would just do it for free as a hobby (see also: open source).
The bargain was likely about appstore monopoly and antitrust law.

Apple published plans of CSAM exactly when all news were discussing bad big tech monopoly, congress held hearing with CEOs, etc.
> own infrastructure and salaries

Don't they contribute for the development? Or for what is that salary.
Android has it too, although it's software (but some have a hardware switch which kinda-sorta does similarly). I just leave my phone permanently on DND and whitelist a few contacts and apps.
Nothing more than a load of garbage.
I don't favor putting U.S. troops in Ukraine or Taiwan, but what hawks have advocated is arming those countries to deter invasions by Russia and China.
I mean, this is kinda the exemplar of a case where only the catalysts can make a difference - the perpetrators have since staged a coup and now run Myanmar's government.
My tinfoil hat theory is that these kinds of lawsuits are actually GOOD for Meta and they want them. Because they add to the image of FB/Meta as a world-shaping power with nation like reach instead of a high-tech listserv for a declining user base of credulous Boomers.
It should probably be noted here that for the mRNA vaccines, the only reason that the trials seemed accelerated is that they were able to find so many infected participants, and so were able to reach their stated endpoints more quickly.
>blue collar or back office labor jobs like mailroom processors could work hard and rise to the top

The American dream is not about starting low and making it to the top, it's about upward, intergenerational class mobility.
It's easier to shoot the messenger. It's a common pattern across history.
Well, why didn't you? :)

The response is that this actually works well enough, so the investment required has not pushed anyone to do it (with that meaning building the core infrastructure to make that easy).
Many programmers complete some kind of nad2tetris[1] style course where they go from basic hardware primitives (the NAND gate) all the way up through a small von Neumann architecture computer that can be programmed with a simple homebrew machine code. Even if they don't, a good CS undergraduate program should cover a lot of it, and since most EEs can program at least a little they probably get a pretty good top-to-bottom understanding as well.

The problem is that this is really only possible with a toy model of a computer and very simple programs. Modern chips with their branch prediction and caching and threading and advanced vectorized operations and so on are vastly more complex. The 6502[2] was perhaps the last chip that one person could fully grok. Maybe a chip designer at Intel or AMD could understand the whole circuit in detail but no one else has the time - it would literally be a full time job. The same thing is true for operating systems - even if you're Raymond Chen, you can know a lot about Windows, but you can't know everything.

We learn just enough about the other parts of the system to convince ourselves that we understand the principles. We build the basic mental model we need to interact with other systems but all we can really do focus on our own specialized areas and hope that everyone else is doing their job. This works well enough until something like Spectre[3] or Meltdown[4] crops up and that's when we realize that we've been building castles in the sand.

So I do a weekly live-stream which is a bit much to follow to just casually learn: https://youtube.com/c/vector35

But more importantly, there are video excerpts for some basic features which should at least help with understanding how to use BN:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKBQatwshs0&list=PLCVV6Y9Lmw...

We've got a few more in the editing queue I need to clear out as well.

That said, I agree in terms of needing more intro tutorials would be helpful. Part of the problem with producing something like the IDA books is that we are under far too active development. Our UI and features have grown exponentially over the past few years so there was just never a good time to make something that wouldn't be out of date before it was even done.

You might be interested in joining the Binary Ninja slack which is a great community for getting questions answered. https://slack.binary.ninja/

There's also the free cloud version which doesn't have quite the same features but is an easier introduction without paying. https://cloud.binary.ninja/
You're stating the overall position of most western public health policy, and the outcome of that thinking hasn't been good.

Manipulating stated goals from real goals and influencing behavior via nudges rather than argument can be effective for small outcomes, but as a whole the practice is antidemocratic. More practically, if the approach is repeated, you begin to poison the well - people learn to work the system they're in, and any kind of split between stated goal and actual goal gives wiggle room to work an angle.

Consider the failures of mask mandates after initial anti mask messaging from the CDC. The CDC's initial goal was to tactically protect the n95 supply for maybe two months.
I built a toy CPU in software once as an exercise. I started with "class Transistor" (wrapping an AND op) and "class Wire" (wrapping a boolean), and wired them together incrementally to make gates, flipflops, registers, etc.

I eventually got a fully-functioning 32-bit cpu with instruction pipelining, two levels of cache, DMA input/output, an asynchronous bus, a custom assembly language with an assembler written in python, and got the Game of Life running on it.

It ran about 2kHz with 8kb of memory or so.

My point is that societally we should allow anyone to enter any field they desire with minimal barriers halting their progress so long as they are able to do the work - but we shouldn't try to force it just because we feel like there should be more women or more of whomever. Just because there is a disparity in the demographic make-up of a field doesn't automatically mean that's it's root cause is some negative bias or discrimination. Maybe more men fill administrative roles because more men pursue educations in business administration and leadership whereas a teacher can be an excellent educator, but a not so excellent administrator if they have no relevant experience. Does your wife have any experience in administration or any credentials that would show her to be qualified for the job? If not, maybe that's her issue - not sexism. That's like asking why do great software engineers sometimes never rise to staff/management positions - because they're good at writing software, not managing people and organizations. Is this bad? Why? Because administrative roles are generally better paid and more prestigious and more women should have that opportunity? Why not encourage more women to get into masonry or welding? Where's that movement? Has it maybe not happened because those aren't well-paying, desirable jobs for most people? Do more men occupy those industries because of the nature of the work or because of some insidious rampant sexism? I'd be inclined to say the former. If this were actually about equality, it would be happening all across the labor market and not just in a certain subset of high-paying fields.

Some of these disparities can be traced back to social conditioning and discrimination, but its also in large part just due to inherit differences in the interest and abilities between genders. It's been proven time and time again that the genders are often fundamentally different in terms of abilities and innate interest. Neither gender is better than the other, but we are different and denying that does more harm than good.
This is a treatment, not a vaccine, so it's something you use after you get cancer instead of something you take to prevent you from getting it.
An honest question. Why do you guys use AWS instead of dedicated servers? It's terribly expensive in comparison, nowadays equally complex, scalability is not magic and you need proper configuration either way, plus now the outages become more and more common. Frankly, I see no reason.
I saw less than half that number — 8099 — on the VAERS site.

And this is for a disease which has killed 821,335 Americans after infecting 51 million.

So if it’s absolutely perfectly safe and there is a roughly 5% chance of getting infected with Covid while waiting for the vaccine to take effect, it would look like this.

Q: If a person has received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, will the vaccine protect against transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from individuals who are infected despite vaccination?

A: Most vaccines that protect from viral illnesses also reduce transmission of the virus that causes the disease by those who are vaccinated. While it is hoped this will be the case, the scientific community does not yet know if the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine will reduce such transmission.
What's disturbing is that nothing has materially changed. For those of us who are running iOS or Android, we're just an OS update away from CSAM landing on our devices again. It's just a matter of time. The question is what will it be renamed to and under what pretext will it be deployed?

AR is colloquially understood to mean overlaying your field of vision with graphics that interact with reality in your field of vision.

By way of a real-world example, military pilots have heads-up displays that overlay IDs of aircraft on the aircraft as they appear to the pilot. That's AR.

My volvo has a heads-up display that show me my speed, the current speed limit, warnings, lane guidance... But none of that points to anything in my field of vision. Not AR.

Mercedes also have heads-up displays, and while I don't own one, I saw a demonstration where when you are using adaptive cruise control, it highlights the car it is following. That's AR.

The above is my lay understanding. If you buy this distinction between "heads up display" as a general term, and "AR" as a specific use of a heads up display, then Glass was not AR. It was just a heads-up display.

What if we buy the Real Salt Lake soccer team with crypto?
As Real Salt Lake reportedly nears a sale to a group led by east-coast investor David Blitzer, a Salt Lake City group is proposing a blockchain-based community ownership plan for the team.

A group from Utah-based Life Elevated Group, led by Sean O’Brien, is looking to make RSL a fan-owned club. O’Brien posted to LinkedIn recently with the idea of buying RSL as a community, with ownership tokens hosted on a blockchain and open to anyone. Under the idea, no one person could own more than five percent of the team, and people could eventually buy-in for as little as one token.
Good question. I didn't mean this to refer to a specific politician, I meant that SF isn't the kind of place where such a politician could thrive. I think in a healthy place, you would see a healthy balance of right and left politicians who genuinely have to contend with one another. I would expect conservative politicians to win elections when things like crime and quality of life start to go the wrong direction. I don't think the delusional climate in SF is conducive to this healthy balance.

My recollection of the election when Breed won was there was one Republican, and I don't think he got many votes. Ideally there would be multiple Republican and Democratic candidates, with strong and worthwhile candidates from each party, each getting a decent share of votes. I recall the two other popular Democratic candidates competing with Breed banded together (don't remember what that meant exactly, I think they were recommending voters to vote for both of them in their ranked choices) and their platform for dealing with homelessness was to give them all cleaning supplies and have them clean the streets of SF, thereby killing two birds with one stone (giving the homeless productive, gainful occupation and dealing with all the litter, needles, human waste, etc. on the streets). I can't think of a more out-of-touch idea than that, but this was the #2 choice for San Franciscans.

I think anyone sensible would have simply asked for what Breed is now proposing to do. Voicing that opinion in SF years ago would've made you a pariah. It's a common sense opinion if you're living in and observing reality, but that's simply not what SF culture has been about.

Every day, the stock market either goes from the bottom of the graph to the top, or from the top all the way to the bottom.

The threat is very credible. Just as the misinformation and bullshit campaign is very powerful. To the point where even a credible threat isn't enough to get people to act in their own best interest. With odds approaching 1:400 across the whole population of death and substantially higher of a serious bout of disease it is quite amazing how many people continue to downplay this because of the age factor.

If the odds were that good for the lottery I'd be playing.
That sounds rather silly. The sort of thing that brings the law into disrepute.
Hi pjerem, Michael Altfield here (founder of the BusKill project).

The problem is that there are no USB-A magnetic breakaways available on Amazon. If there were, then I wouldn't have launched this campaign!

* https://buskill.in/buy

Actually, Amazon did have USB-A magnetic breakaway components before, but they went EOL and sold-out when I first published my DIY article on how to build-your-own-BusKill-cable last year.

* https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2020/01/02/buskill-laptop-k...

The reason I started making my own was a response to all the folks that asked me how they could get a USB-A BusKill cable since they sold-out (and they also were never available in Europe -- now they are!).
Humans individually are pretty useless. Abandon a random human in a jungle and they will likely perish soon no matter how smart and well educated they are.

The strength of humanity is teamwork, working together to build things other groups can build things upon. Abandon 100 random humans in the same jungle and they will build a town.
> if you are able to reverse it, you can be compelled to reverse it.

An interesting way of strengthening such a system is to split the recovery code between multiple people in multiple jurisdictions. Convincing them to hand over their piece of the key could require various levels of proof-of-free-will, ranging from "Hey, I need those numbers on that piece of paper I gave you" (asked on a video call, in a public park) to "I've booked a flight and I'll meet you at the agreed place next Monday at the standard time".

These approaches can be combined with a protocol of "If I use the duress phrase, then give me a fake key and then send a message to the other members of the group / the public / the media that I've been compromised". Of course this sort of system assumes you are part of a wider organisation or at least have friends you can trust to implement all this opsec securely, without adding to your risk profile, but for some people this will be viable.
That's wonderful thanks.
It seems that Google is hiring engineers so that they will be ready when Apple launches the AR/VR device.

Within one year after the Apple launch, Google has copied and launched their own version. It won't run as smoothly, but it's cheaper. So, anyone who can't afford to buy the Apple product will buy the Google product.

And this is how the duopoly will live forever..
