> Being a CEO is not that hard.

Being an extraordinary CEO is very difficult.
imho ARIN should let these shady companies own IPv4. Only driving up prices of v4 will promote v6 adoption.
I'd guess that if you took a group of people on some of the the lowest totem poles at Apple and had them replace the entire C-Suite, Apple's output would certainly crater. Probably to bankruptcy (though it might take a while, Apple has huge cash reserves).

Replacing one individual from the C-Suite could maybe get carried by the rest.

And yes, the other way would work fine. Having the C-Suite take over an individual store would be fine.
I'm the seventh generation to farm, or something like that. My parents ran a dairy operation when I was a kid (and still operate their own farm), so I did grow up in agriculture. But, being a tech nerd, I was always more attracted to the big field equipment.

In 2007 I invested $12,000 in a small parcel of land I found to rent, rent for the equipment I needed to do the job (along with hiring some customer operators), and lost money doing it! But then 2008 happened, sending commodity prices through the roof. I was able to turn a small profit the following year and used the proceeds to start to buy some equipment, and slowly started to grow from there.

So, some definite luck, an investment, and most importantly having family to answer questions. I think it would have been impossible for me without that wealth of knowledge to draw on.
> I'm much more worried about the insurrection

Funny you should lead with that as your main concern, because it has the same problem as the fabrications about Russian collusion (which I note has fallen way out of fashion now that election security has happily returned to being a iron-clad given [0]) - at some point the narrative collapses due to a lack of any and all evidence. It has been 12 months, the transfer of power turned out to be mostly peaceful - as usual. And then people quite rightly ask "why was the focus on fabrications rather than real, tangible problems - like supply chain instability and lack of disaster preparedness?".

[0] Possibly the Trump administration did good work securing them?
The success at Apple has little to do with Tim Cook and if he was replaced with one of those unsuccessful CEOs they wouldn't lose a beat.

Is he worth 1,400x? Let's rephase this...

You can have 1,400 Apple employees or Tim Cook.. I would rather have those employees. But maybe Tim can do the work of 1400
I've owned The Now Habit since 2011 - unread, which gets funnier every year.
> There's a difference, lab tech would impact individuals, but he wouldn't make false claims to the general public as the company's main selling point.

But when it's the CEO who does it, doesn't she do both? I mean, those individuals who get the fake test results are also members of the general public.
I was listening to that episode while riding a bus and I was almost screaming internally the whole time. I knew exactly what that song was and by whom, and had a dusty old low quality mp3 still on some harddrive at home, possibly acquired through less than legal means at least some 15 years ago.
Glad you enjoyed them! Photos of both populated boards, both sides, should be available on the repos (if not embedded on the main README, check the Images/ folder).

I won't be sharing the schematics, though if you have any specific questions about something, I can try to answer as best I can.

RE: LCD bias - I mentioned in my AGZ writeup that the stock bias voltages aren't required when using the IPS displays, this also applies to the CGZ. This is because the LCD kits that I use have all the bias voltage circuitry built-in on their flex PCB adaptors, so I only needed to supply 3.3V/5V from my boards.

RE: Debounce circuit - Since the stock power switches carry the full system current, they can cause issues when they bounce due to dirty switch contacts. I redesigned the power switch circuit to instead use a high-side load switch implemented using a PFET with an RC time constant for debouncing.
I got to experience this while driving through Oregon. I ended up with a check engine light because the guy didn't screw the gas cap back on correctly.
No, they're saying "Making a breakthrough in a matter of weeks that couldn't be found for 8 years is incredibly hard to believe".

That's not a "Pfizer's is slightly safer in 30+ males and should be used preferentially in that population if both are available" safety quibble.
The deal with spaces?

I would say Linux-developers and script-wranglers targeting others of the same kin, being allowed to exist within their own bubble, never being exposed to a real/“normal” user.

And I say that as a Linux-user, script-wrangler and developer. In 2022 this still being a thing at all is quite embarrassing.
You ask "How effective?" The answer is "not very."

Do this right. Close the source and maintain some semblance of leverage.
I want to run my own servers.

Honestly.

It has always been a somewhat easy task if you pick an OS that is secure and stable.

And today with all the Foss/oss there are plenty of reasons why I would do it.

More Decentralised Please.
> it's a problem of trying to use a file syncing application on the internal state of an application on two different machines with two different states, and expecting the result to be a valid state.

I think that we can narrow the problem down to the fact that git's internal state is represented in a way that is transparent to syncthing (a folder of files), that it will attempt to sync, but only partially succeed. If git's internal state was a single database file, you wouldn't get corruption, just a syncthing conflict file.
Historic conservation areas (as determined by the local municipality) are exempt from SB9, and cities are allowed to put in place "objective design standards" that apply to SB9 as well as new single family housing. But, we're also a team of great designers developing many unit types that will complement what's already there.
Thanks for the clarification. The part I disagree with is the binary classification, and also individuals paying is not a guarantee to get free of the power structure, for instance take Youtube premium. It's not obvious that the platform itself must concentrate power, but I totally agree that the power differential is core and needs fixing.
Ha, an agency i worked at years ago did very similar with some Azure container service.

We actually hosted the game in the pods, so if you took them all down simultaneously and refreshed you could get a brief 404 as they were spinning back up.

Existing large ISPs and cloud providers with remaining IPv4 addresses and no IPv6 support are not going to have a strong incentive until after the damage is already done.
You started talking about "adding strings" in a thread about adjacent literals, without mentioning any + operator..

String catenation ("adding") by adjacency (no visible operator) is a thing; "add" doesn't imply that we are talking about a + operator:

$ awk 'BEGIN { x = "abc-" 2 + 2 "-def"; print x}'
abc-4-def

The advantage to smaller teams is nimbleness; the advantage to larger teams is robustness to perturbations. These are not mutually exclusive, but in practice a small (nimble) and robust team is challenging to build since the balance of personalities and skills requires intent and access to amazing hiring opportunities.
I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your father. Do you mind expanding on the story of watching the two men drown? I'm curious how you found yourself in that situation.
A routine gem update ended up creating $73k worth of subscriptions
Testing? You think the people with such horrible legacy code would pay me to write tests? I am happy if they don't want me to edit it directly on the live servers.

But yeah good point with the testing. I should have specified that I am talking about agency work, not actually caring about the software you keep alive.
>When you think about it, OpenSea would actually be much “better” in the immediate sense if all the web3 parts were gone. It would be faster, cheaper for everyone, and easier to use.

That sums up the situation for me. Having a marketplace for purely digital goods might be a concept with a future. Having standard ways to interoperate between different platforms and query and update these goods might make sense (although I still think it goes opposite to the general trend of walled gardens vs. decentralized web, I don't see why the IP owners would play ball and accept the loss of control).

The thing is that in most case those NFTs wouldn't be trustless. I see people putting forward that a use case would be an NFT that proves that your Rolex is real, or for Fortnite skins, or for the ownership of your house. But in all these situations, there's a very clear authority (Rolex, Epic Games and the municipal authorities, respectively). These authorities will be allowed to mint new NFTs at will (because who else?) and as such have to be trusted. That opens up interesting questions btw, like "who is Rolex exactly?" which creates a chain of custody of trusted authority involving trademark management among other things. But I digress.

But then as soon as an authority is identified, why bother with the extreme overhead (it terms of resources and costs) of blockchain tech? Couldn't Rolex issue a PGP signed CSV of all valid Rolex serial numbers once a month on IPFS and you'd get the exact same security and trust profile without having to involve any "web3" feature?

Like cryptocurrencies, the subset of problems that can only be solved using NFTs is incredibly tiny and speculators rush to make up use cases that, if you think about it for five minutes, clearly make no sense and could be better solved using good old centralized tech.
Do you seriously think that people who programm the bots incapable of taking it into account?

If we're comparing European contact to Indo-Chinese contact, your sense of when Europe was integrated with the Middle East/Mediterranean culture seems a bit off. The Persia, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea had a lot of contact prior to the 1st Century but "Europe" as a whole did not. For example, England was not Christianized until the 7th Century, Kievan Rus was the 9th Century, Scandinavia was started in the 10th Century, and the Baltic Crusades lasted until the 16th Century. Cultural exchange in "Europe" absolutely is newer than contact between India and China.

Tips for writing new LZ compressors
Often these libraries exist as glue to an existing ecosystem. To that end, I have also seen portability libraries that provide a single interface to multiple implementations of system functions or datatypes on different operating systems.
Closing the source would give me leverage, and I've considered it.

However, how do you get a software project adopted by users if those users (other developers) are so used to only using FOSS?
Oh sorry! I didn't realise I was hijacking it when the user was coming from another website (which I never tried during development). This is bad, I will fix it. Thanks for pointing it

Edit: Fixed and deployed!
Just one observation but Brave already has a Wallet integrated. What this allows me to do is go to any DApp and click 'connect' and authenticate. That's it, no more creating accounts, setting passwords etc etc.

I think this will be the major feature of Web3 browsers apart from helping you give granular access to your data.
The argument on technical debt isn't wrong, but it doesn't fully take into account the importance of this information and the legal requirements these agencies are held to. Just because it's difficult doesn't mean the information shouldn't be released. If we accept that the request is difficult as a reason to not release the records, then they'll never get released. Once that seed's planted, it's so unbelievably hard to come out of. It's something you see with agencies that never get held accountable to their lack of transparency.

It sucks, but the alternative is much worse.
I agree that I mostly want to see which rivers the drop flows to but really enjoyed the flight down the Savannah river and seeing how winding it is. Spent a week canoeing it a long time ago.
I agree, confidentlake. You should be able to take time off of work to relax if you need. And, if the only outlet the US culture allows is to call in sick, then there's nothing wrong with doing that!
What he says about NFTs is embarrassing, lmao. I've personally never bought them myself but I am enthusiastic about blockchain tech. Is there really no commitment saved for an art work? You would think this was basic shit. Maybe there is more than one NFT protocol?

He also has a good point about centralization in 'blockchain oracle' services. In major wallets I've often seen them just make calls to blockchain / TX lookup services -- no cryptographic proofs there (though in theory easy to add with 'spv proofs'?) I also like that he went as far as to make two dapps before critiquing it. This is one of the better criticisms of 'web3' out there.

I don't think what he says about OpenSea being better as a 'centralized' service is valid. Most of his critiques for the downside of blockchain-tech seem to be Ethereum-specific. For example, Solana transactions are blazingly fast, low-cost, and there are nice stable coins on there. OpenSea seems like it would be 'better' if it were an actual cryptographic protocol. Maybe link it with IPFS + Filecoin.
Exactly,and it's also intentionally misnamed as web3 as if it's an inevitable extension of current internet practices, rather than a scifi buzzword fantasy of a small pocket of investors (or small to moderate hedge of larger investors).
Didn't even know about process substitution, had been using fifo's to achieve this!
>That’s hardly in dispute, is it?

Roughly at the time of the films release, the CIA had their communications with many of their foreign agents discoverable by Googling. Hundreds of agents died as a result, while the CIA fired the whistleblower who brought up the vulnerability and seemingly made up a Chinese hack to shift the blame. A far cry from creating programs for super assassins.
So you know it's not OK to call people Nazi on this site, especially on extremely flimsy basis such as "he is financed by Peter Thiel" and "he talks about individual achievement". But you still do it. But since you're being coy about it and only "very very transparently hint" at it, it's completely OK. At least for you it's ok, because in this case the rules clearly do not apply.
Your point (1) is particularly good and Brian Krebs has a nice mantra that echoes it fairly closely: "Hang up, look up, call back".

One small optimization if you can expect likely inbound communications in advance (either on your own behalf or those of your family members): collect the return contact details in an authentic, physical format from the parties you expect to hear from before they need to reach out to you.

The typical example here is a debit/credit card: turning that over to look for the financial institution's phone number is straightforward, trustworthy and confidence-building.

Sadly because we've allowed shoddy insecure software to become commonplace on smartphones and in browsers (thank you, market incentives), it's becoming -- predictably -- less reasonable to depend upon them when researching and communicating. So, I'd expect, more reliable and less sophisticated devices and environments will increasingly make sense for everyone.
From the article:
> fueled by stock awards that helped him earn a total of nearly $100 million.
I like Moxie's work and writings, and this article has some great points, but I can't get behind this:

We should accept the premise that people will not run their own servers by designing systems that can distribute trust without having to distribute infrastructure.

I'm not ready to give in. I am happy to leave "normal" (tech illiterate and politically apathetic) people behind to reach my decentralization goals.

I think instead of building centralized infrastructure that does not require trust, we can make it easier to host decentralized infrastructure. Including allowing a "server" to be offline for months at a time, come online for a minute or two, then disappear again. P2P networking is also an area we can improve on, IMO. Too much information is going across the internet instead of point to point. Bluetooth is a terrible protocol, but airdrop (and reverse engineered implementations) seems to be promising.
The VPN connection here intrigues me. Do these VPN companies know how their IPs are being procured/by whom?

> In a 2020 interview, Golestan told KrebsOnSecurity that Micfo was at one point responsible for brokering roughly 40 percent of the IP addresses used by the world’s largest VPN providers

This would be an interesting deep dive for a tech-focused investigative journalist.
Have loved working with Homestead so far! My lot is already zoned as multi-family, so I can't take advantage of SB9 lot splitting, but they're currently in the process of building an ADU in my backyard, and I couldn't be more pleased – both from a price/design perspective and from a customer service perspective.
Again I just don't think any of this is particularly relevant. Trump didn't get elected by colluding with Russia. Trump got elected because he articulated a salient message which resonated with many Americans.

If you think Hillary Clinton's emails had more to do with the result of the election than NAFTA's effect on the rust belt, the opioid epidemic, the skyrocketing costs of healthcare and education, and the handling of the 2008 financial crisis then I would have a lot of trouble understanding your reasoning.

I just don't think it's productive at all to fixate on Trump as some sort of bogeyman. He's merely a symptom of our dysfunctional government.

The endless pearl-clutching and regurgitation of Russia-gate and January 6 is not particularly interesting to me. If we don't want another trump, the best thing we could do is reform elections to combat minoritarian rule, reform the legislature so it can actually function, and pass some simple, obvious reforms to improve the material conditions of working people.
That's not really a nitpick, it's bad faith. That stock was granted when he took over as CEO and had two vests at 5 years and 10 years. He'd been "earning" it all along and should be amortized over the term, even if for tax purposes it's not.
Maybe. Batch processing huge text files is pretty common in Perl.
Some of this echoes Matt Levine's take on crypto and DeFi generally: you will repeatedly see the re-learning the lessons of hundreds/thousands of years of traditional finance.

I'm not sure that the "mobile device can't act as a node" is fundamental (it's more a quirk of the current systems), but "nobody wants to run their own server" => "centralization" is a great reminder:

> I think this is very similar to the situation with email. I can run my own mail server, but it doesn’t functionally matter for privacy, censorship resistance, or control – because GMail is going to be on the other end of every email that I send or receive anyway. Once a distributed ecosystem centralizes around a platform for convenience, it becomes the worst of both worlds: centralized control, but still distributed enough to become mired in time.
These are all points in favor of my position.

China has obviously succeeded in defeating COVID, and done so with none of these secondary deaths you're describing (look at excess mortality). All of these "secondary" deaths did not occur in countries that implemented effective containment strategies, why do you think that is?

The western strategy has resulted in these "secondary" deaths you're describing, as a result of people like yourself being unwilling to accept the effective containment is possible and worth the cost.
Forever hopefully. Inflation is good and indicative of a healthy economy.

I think the system is somewhat democratic. This is what the board of directors chose as his compensation and they themselves are elected. Remember, that Apple is extremely large. These median salaries probably include retail store employee packages as well. If you look at just engineering, product, design salaries, the x factor here probably comes down to a factor of 10, so 140 instead of 1400.
Sounds like the FTC might care
The documentary is available here:

Following the "by Commodore" link on that page leads to some other interesting archives as well, including an AmigaDOS manual.
I see this argument thrown around a lot. It seems like previous research has also indicated that this was the case. However, I have some questions:

1. If "The Rich" (This paper defines them as the top 1% income earners) having tax reductions does not grow the economy or reduce unemployment, is there a wealth bracket in which tax reductions do grow the economy?

2. Does raising taxes on "The Rich" grow the economy?

It seems like this is the kind of research done to solve an argument, but if we actually think that tax rates should factor into economic policy, then we should determine the actual effect of taxation policies on every quantile, not just the top 1%.
For the benefit of future readers who don't get it, if nothing else: the "salmon problem" (in German Lachsargument) is an old argument that the origin of the Indo-European language family should be in the Baltic region, because the word for "salmon" is found in both the Germanic and Balto-Slavic branches. Later research in the Caucasus found that the reflexes of the word referred to trout, which is found in rivers on the Eurasian steppe. (They're both species in the genus Salmo, so it makes sense that semantic drift would occur in populations moving to a new area.)
Note, I didn't claim that. I'd love to put a box in my house next to the cable modem that did all that stuff in a manageable, understandable way, that wasn't some underhanded subscription service that is going to try to squeeze me in the future or whoops my data amongst its constant, silent upgrading itself. But alas, no such box exists, and the software components that would go in that box seem to need constant babysitting and arcane configuration. Worse, it seems like all those overcomplicated things keep having critically bad security vulnerabilities and I'm just wondering what the actual fuck is wrong with having a damn thing on my computer that receives my email and serves a webpage.
Same. I'd like to make this experience better rather than give up and give in to centralization. I know others have different priorities, but I don't need them to use my servers. I just need them to interoperate minimally.
> Both sides of the debate could elevate their arguments if they ponder what Moxie has written.

I appreciate that he fairly tried these different things out and reported his experience. But I don't think he has noticed anything particularly interesting or novel.

It's common knowledge that the plentitude of blockchains out there now make compatibility between them almost impossible. This is how Bitcoin "maximalists" came to be in the first place. If reputation and trust is the game, it defeats the purpose to have a million different blockchains.
There was a time when Godwin's law was meant to prevent people calling each other literally Hitler with no justification. Now people just use Godwin's law to call other people literally Hitler with no justification.
