No, it's plainly not as simple as "not opening port 80", because an attacker can spoof the server side of port 80. This attack, "SSL stripping", is literally the reason we have HSTS.
Basic question: why are all these blocks at the DNS level?

If I want to block users of my network from accessing website X, why would I not block it at the IP level (level 3) by blocking all packets to all IP address that other DNS providers associate with website X?

Both Microsoft and Yahoo offer the ability to do “imap in”. Could that be used to sync down the email from Google and then you reconfigure your DNS provider to forward email to your Yahoo/Microsoft personal email account and configure that account to send email using your custom domain name.

Wealth tax is proposed [0] as a distraction from fixing the elite favoritism in the taxation of labor (income + payroll tax) vs. normal (just income tax) vs. capital (capital gains tax) vs. transfer (gift and/or estate tax) income.

It's a means of protecting the current tax system.

That isn't how Bitcoin works. Miners can't violate the protocol, since the protocol decides what is and isn't mining.

Wright wants a version of Bitcoin created with a backdoor to transaction authentication that lets him take coins without presenting the required credentials. If he created such a version and convinced some miners to run it, they'd simply stop producing blocks (at least from the perspective of anyone who didn't also adopt his backdoor).

So the situation you imagine would just result in hashrate going down-- which can be a bit of an an annoyance since it slows down transaction settlement temporarily, but isn't a dire issue (e.g. Bitcoin lost on the order of half its hash power for a while after china issued a ban).

In any case, if Wright shared your theory and was acting in good faith the target of his actions would be miners and not volunteer open source developers. He's stated outright in public that he expects the ruinous cost of his litigation to destroy the lives of his targets.
I have come to feel that the problem with comparing software development with established engineering disciplines is that doing so ignores the possibility that it is, or could be, a rather different discipline than we have seen heretofore. I do not have any insights into what a mature discipline of software engineering would look like, but I no longer feel there is much to be gained in debating comparisons between established engineering and software development.

> giving the government less to spend would probably reduce inequality.

If you have some data comparing inequality and tax revenue (as a percentage of GDP) for countries around the world, I'd love to see if there is some sort of correlation. Of course, a correlation wouldn't prove causation, but it would give me more confidence in what policy to support than your "probably".

The disadvantage of GHHbD is that it doesn't handled regex filtering. However one of its many advantages is that it does block TLDs: https://greasyfork.org/en/forum/discussion/comment/55821/#Co...
> it is funny that the liberal American solution to lack of access to ID offices is to get rid of ID's...not, you know, improve access to said offices

It's funny that the conservative American solution to lack of access to ID offices is just deny them a vote... not, you know, improve access to said offices.

Seriously, what do you think the conservative reaction to giving a tech darling like Uber taxpayer money to cart the poor around? I can hardly imagine the backlash.

Also why assume I'm a liberal? Not requiring an ID has long big a conservative principal. It's only recently that requiring one has become a republican one. Turns out the world isn't as simple as conservatives vs liberals.

> To me the term didn't come from HR it came from trying to get "programmers" to think in terms of constraints, value, risks etc. Seems a pretty clear and simple definition.

The trend of giving high sounding titles started decades ago as more and more educated people entered the workforce and involves all jobs.

Developer? Engineer.

Nope! A lot of generally healthy elderly people who had a broken bone or a normal surgery that resulted in a few days in-care and then catch a flu or pneumonia and would be visited by their families in the process.|

This is a risky state, as multiple concurrent issues increases fatalities. They already have their age, the surgery to heal from, and then throw a common infection on top of it all? You're in a red zone for survival at that point, but it's common enough and the fatalities are very low at that point unless you add in the secret ingredient.

That ingredient being a beloved family member that doesn't tend to make histrionics out of small crises, the calm and caring one of the family, you know? When that person tells you how they want you to stay but "if you need to go then go", tearfully bidding you adieu?

That's a straight up death sentence.

If your elderly family member is in a tight spot but has a decent life waiting on them to recover? Don't tell them it's okay to go. Tell them to fight like they're the third monkey on the ramp of Noah's Ark and it's starting to rain.

Then again, if they have severe issues, will never be outside of the institution again, they only have Jello night on Tuesdays to look forward to for the rest of their drooling, senile, smelly, miserable, and unfathomably uncomfortable lives, then that is when you tell them it's okay to go because literally nothing is better than where they will be if they survive.

No, GCP and Google Workspace are great compared to most options out there. Microsoft Family is a good price and I use it as a backup, but the 1TB of storage is per account and I honestly hate Microsoft at this point way more than Google, have fun with Outlook and everything else.

The thing that was the most annoying was the shift from G Suite to Workplace. Before, I was getting unlimited Google Drive storage for $12 a month, and now it is like $20 or something... still, for $20 a month you get basically unlimited cloud storage. No other provider can compete.
Yes pretty much. Most ISP's just buy access to the cheapest routes which are not always the fastest. I rent servers that are connected to the fastest routes and send the customers game traffic through them. This often results in lowering the latency by a significant amount.

The other thing the VPN does is allows people to choose which region they want to play on. For example, in PUBG, when you launch the game it pings all of the different available regions and selects the one with the lowest latency. This is not always ideal as there may not be any players on the closest servers and you end up playing against a bunch of bots.

While General Dufour (who had commanded the Federal forces in the Sonderbund War) was one of the five-man founding committee, the event that precipitated the founding of the Red Cross was the visit of Henri Dunant to the battlefield at Solferino immediately after the battle.

The Battle of Solferino (part of the Second War of Italian Independence, in which an alliance of France and Sardinia defeated Austria) took place 12 years after the Sonderbund War, in 1859. As far as I know Dunant had taken no part in the Sonderbund War- he was a student in Geneva at the time- and neither had anyone else on the committee apart from Dufour. In fact, two of them had been outside Switzerland at the time.
> You are assuming the very logic applied at the time of measurement was, is, and remains true.

No, I'm not assuming that.

That's why I added "I remember".

If I can't trust my memory at all, then it doesn't really matter what I do.

But I can put that as a disclaimer over everything if I really want to. I don't have to assume.

And I feel like you've gone way beyond the original scope at this point. If I don't feel like considering the "brain in a jar also the brain only started existing 2 seconds ago" theory right now, my decision to ignore it comes long before I even start worrying about science. If my decision is wrong, it's not a problem with science.

I have my personal email on this. Luckily, we have a small family foundation that is a 501(c)3. So, I've just requested to switch over to the nonprofit plan. I'm not sure if this is applicable to many other people out there, but it is, in principle, an option.

One interesting thing I just learned is, by switching designation, I can get 2TB of storage per user for $3 a month. Right now I'm paying $10 a month for 1TB of storage from Google Drive. So actually this will wind up making things cheaper for me.
Wright is a conman, his analysis of risk is very different from yours. He has repeadily taken actions which were almost sure to get him caught, he got caught, and he just kept going. He would have no reason to know or care if Satoshi would rebuke him. If Satoshi did, Wright would just ignore it or claim it was a fraud.

In fact, in the Florida lawsuit Wright provided a list of thousands of addresses he claimed to control and mined bitcoin to. The document was accidentally published without redaction and shortly thereafter the owners of 145 addresses controlling over 7000 bitcoin stepped up and posted signatures saying the addresses weren't wright and that wright is a fraud.

Wright's reaction? When asked about this he claims that there were no signatures created and just moves on. When one interviewer pressed a bit he just blathered about you can't have signatures without identity and became irate and the interviewer changed subjects.

Or more specifically to this case: In a document to the ATO Wright claimed to own several high value addresses. Two of them were actually owned by known community members, one produced a signature calling Wright a fraud, the other was called as a witness against wright in Florida. ... Wright ignored that and is suing us over the ones from that same list that where the owners haven't spoken up (yet, in one case the owner appears to have robbed a bitcoin exchange so even if they're aware of the case they're not likely to speak up).

As far as Dave goes: The only material that has ever linked Dave to Bitcoin was material wright produced to support his tax fraud, most (all?) of which has been proved to be forgeries created after Dave's death. As far as anyone can tell Dave had no particular programming expertise-- he was more of a PC tech and windows IT security guy--, the only software he appears to have created was a simple visual basic windows registry checking tool.

Of course, it's not impossible that just about anyone created Bitcoin, but I would expect that more than 3/4 of the participants in any random thread on HN would be a better candidate than Dave.

My little anecdote:

I've personally found Rock Climbing to be extremely rewarding in highly varied ways - it is a very mental activity, problem solving, but in a physical and personal way that is not in conflict with relief from a cognitive job. It's physically one of the most balanced activities for the body. It can take you to truly awesome places and make you appreciate nature more. It has many sub styles, some with their own interesting mental challenges and techniques. You get a sense of adventure like no other... it's also just inherently damn fun to do, it's not unreasonable to say we have somewhat evolved for climbing - so it makes sense that we find it fun.

It's also a lot more accessible than it used to be. The easiest way to start would be indoor bouldering gyms (these have a fantastic social element too), and then indoor sports climbing gyms... just remember there is much more to be had from it than plastic, the outdoors awaits.
When will people learn that phone SMS verification is not 2FA.

The sim card is reproducible by third parties and there are many of them, so it's not something you have, nor something you know, or somewhere you are.

Heck, half the "2FA methods" used today aren't actually 2FA. Software tokens? Why would this be 2FA?

I think we need to rename 2FA since it clearly has lost all meaning.

Creating indexes without understanding how they actually arrange the underlying data is at best a mild performance hit and at worst a catastrophic performance sink.

Each type handles a different access pattern and query work load. But “I have an index” doesn’t mean anything if the column order or operator doesn’t match the actual task.

If you want to really make your database experience shine, then take the time to understand how each type of index actually lays out your data. What it means to perform a range operation (e.g. key > X) v.s. an equality (e.g. key = or contains X). Otherwise you’re adding overhead to every data modification with no long term gain.
It's becoming increasingly clear to me that "cancel culture" is really just "temporary pause on unfettered access to fame and fortune culture". It's wild to me how many stories I've seen over the past few months—in a variety of industries and contexts—where somebody who had only recently been "persona non grata" is back on the job and back in the public eye. I'm beginning to think the only truly-binding cancel culture is when someone is literally prosecuted for a crime.

I'm not saying in particular whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, just an observation (plus IMO the media kerfuffle over cancel culture is way overblown).
What you appear to be saying is that people who like type systems must be ignorant because with experience you suspect they would think differently.

This seems to me to be extremely uncharitable point of view.

But let's roll with it.

I advocate type systems.

I've also worked in several non-trivial projects in lua. Several non-trivial projects in python. Several trivial projects in common lisp. Several trivial projects in erlang.

Additional I've worked in a non trivial project in ruby for several months. And one non trivial project in node for a year. Both of these in a professional 8 hours a day capacity.

I still advocate type systems. More so after working in dynamic languages.

I was a manager in a nearly identical situation. I had 5 engineers working for me at a remote office. The "curve" had not been used in past years. Now they insisted on applying it. Since 4 out of 5 had substantially exceeded their goals it would have been a lie to state that any of them had not met expectations. So I told my boss no, I'm not doing it. You can take whatever raise you planned for me and spread it across my direct reports (unstated was that I would almost certainly quit as a result). Or you can fire me for insubordination. He ran that back up the chain of command. Apparently I wasn't the only middle manager who refused to do it, as senior management ended up rescinding the order.

Moral of the story: If you are a middle manager then grow a backbone.
