Agreed this is a big limitation.

The only way to do it is if you have secondary email address domains. Say mdeeks@company.com and mdeeks@company.team. You can create a separate tailnet for company.team but you also have to roll out additional subnet routers (if you use them) that are authed on that second tailnet. Also you wont be able to easily write rules that interact with things that are not authed onto the second tailnet.

They need a first class concept of "canary" or "beta" that applies to ACLs, DNS configs, client versions, and all sorts of other toggles in the UI. It's a hard product problem and I'm not even sure how some of it should work.

I just know I need a way to test changes before I roll it out to everyone at the company. Right now there aren't good options for that.
Yeah, I'm certain there are folks who get off on the power trip and just love seeing people punished. Those are the kinds of people you want to keep an eye on or keep out of those positions.

I don't have a problem with seeing it as a game and enjoying that part of the job though. Security work is just like that in general. You'll always have someone constantly probing your defenses and modifying their tactics and if you got rid of everyone who thought it was fun to deal with that you wouldn't have anyone left willing to do the job.

I also think loss prevention in general has a potential to be really depressing. Sometimes you're just dealing with kids and thrill seekers, but other times you're having to deal with people who are genuinely desperate with limited ability to get the things they need for health and survival. There must be, at least to some degree, a tendency to dehumanize the people who are caught to protect the mental health and self-concept of the people working in that field. Nobody wants to be the bad guy and when you've repeatedly had people arrested for trying to get food or medication for themselves or their children it must make you question if you're doing the right thing. Defending stores from theft isn't wrong or immoral, but after repeatedly protecting Walmart, which has hundreds of billions of dollars, against impoverished and humiliated mothers who hate themselves and what they're doing, but are just trying to get diapers for their babies has to make you question that. It must make it harder to keep compassionate people around.
Obama never would have withdrawn under the conditions. At the time of withdrawal, the Taliban was already long in violation of that treaty. Additionally, the US could have easily done as the Pentagon originally asked, and surged in troops to "cover the withdrawal" which is a standard tactic (and term) for withdrawing from war zones. By refusing to add boots on the ground to "cover the withdrawal" the US military was forced into a no-win situation, having to abandon Bagram and use HKIA, a completely indefensible airport with no controllable perimiter.

Let me be clear:

The withdrawal, if executed properly at a tactical level, was always going to end in a Taliban takeover. However, various tactical failures made it a vastly worse and accelerated affair than it needed to be.

I will again emphasize that this NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED UNDER OBAMA. It's important to state this, because we too often devolve to partisan comparisons on these topics, when the reality is that different administrations have highly varying degrees of competence in their personnel. Biden's biggest fault, in my opinion, is how loyal and kind he is to his team. They helped get him elected, he's very loyal to them for that, and as a result hasn't fired half of them the way he should have a long time ago, starting with Jake Sullivan.
Docker accidentally(?) created my very favorite cross-distro Linux server package & service manager.

That it uses containers is just an implementation detail, to me.

All the docker replacements will be useless to me if they don't come with a huge repository of pre-built relatively-trustworthy up-to-date containers for tons of services.

I love no longer needing to care much about the underlying distro. LTS? Fine. I still get up-to-date services. Red hat? Debian-based? Something else? Barely matters, once Docker is installed.

On my home server it even saves me from ever having to think about the distro's init system.

Bonus: dockerized services are often much easier to configure than their distro-repo counterparts, and it's usually easier to track down everything they write that you need to back up, and that's all the same no matter what distro they're running on.
> Sub-Saharan Africa is irrelevant, economically. Majority of the population engages in subsistence-level agriculture, or resource extraction for foreign companies.

> The last place with only 56 points is occupied by Equatorial Guinea.

56 seems to be a unbelievably low number for an average. It's so low that people with that score may have trouble comprehending the concept of death (e.g. https://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/ustat/ustat0301-01.htm: "The inability to comprehend abstract concepts may include the inability to fully understand the meaning of "death" or "murder". Morris Mason, whose I.Q. was 62-66, was executed in 1985 in Virginia after being convicted of rape and murder. Before his execution, Mason asked one of his legal advisors for advice on what to wear to his funeral."). I don't see how a society could even function with a majority like that.

Seems much more likely that a result like this reflects a flaw in the tests.

Yes, few antennas really need to remain operational against direct hits. Nor do they usually need to be the highest thing on the tower.

Data cables aren't usually up that high, fortunately. Power cables, though, are. In some areas high tension towers carry a ground wire between the peaks of the towers for lightning protection. It's impressive to see those systems take repeated direct hits without the lights even flickering. I've seen that in Florida.

Worst case is probably is an AM broadcast station where the tower is isolated from the ground at the base. WSM in Nashville TN is like that. They had a pipe ground vaporized and windows blown out in a lightning strike in December 2019. They lost the tower lighting and some transmission components were damaged, but they apparently stayed on the air.

The Empire State Building takes about 25 lightning hits a year. I wonder what their lightning protection looks like.
The US has also gained immense power through growth in other sectors like finance/banking/insurance - the biggest sector in terms of US GDP. The second biggest sector - professional/business services - also allows the US to project immense power - particularly when combined with the fact that the US dominates global banking and finance.

Looking at a table of US GDP by sector, what rebalancing are you suggesting would increase the ability of US to project power globally? For more Americans and US capital to be involved in manufacturing, some other sector will have to shrink. And manufacturing is already the fourth biggest sector.

Disclaimer - I worked on this Codex CLI prototype.

As someone who's worked on natural language interfaces for years this hits hard. The long tail of ways that people express themselves have always made it near impossible to truly build systems that understand our intent and can act on it. I don't think LLMs are a silver bullet that nullify this, but I do think they're exceptionally better than what we've had in the past and that with the right user interface can help us take strides in the right direction.

In the case of the Codex CLI - the goal isn't to eliminate PowerShell, Bash or zsh as computer interfaces, but to assist developers (new and old) as they're using them. The Codex CLI is using Codex off-the-shelf (no customization), and is already quite capable of helping me handle complex shell tasks that I would have taken me much longer to handle in the past. That it can rely on my NL->Code dialog history also gives it context about my task that StackOverflow could never have.

I think the key here will boil down to the user experience - a UX that eliminates shell languages and just takes natural language would be awful, but one that thoughtfully helps you express yourself in terse languages can be helpful.

My understanding is that a family can afford middle-class life with a single blue-collar job with the US has a prosperous manufacturing industry.

> If you're talking about high end manufacturing like cars, planes, specialized steel or similar we still do tons of that in the US.

I thought the market share was declining. The US used to have more than 68% of market share in manufacturing in the world back in 2001 or 2002, but now it is about 40%? It can't be that only low-end manufacturing that is gone, right?
>thought maybe they would go to imply there are racial injustices later in the article

They did imply it by mentioning that white people are overrepresented in the field. Retail security following Black people around a store is one of the more common forms of everyday profiling and racism. Is this not common knowledge anymore?
I find this really cool, kudos to the author for trying to build up an understanding from the actual data.

I find it interesting to see that the median temps in these select cities don't seem to be wandering up that much. I wonder if there is some statistical tool to analyze the slight upward angle on the linear regressions of the medians.

I am surprised that these data do not show a more extreme departure. I believe that we are getting hotter temperatures, etc etc. But perhaps my observations are colored by the media on this - if I were a lizard, would I see climate change?

I felt the same way and saw all the toxicity back in 2015. I deleted my FB account back then.

Every year since then, people have been predicting Facebooks demise.

Maybe this time, under current market conditions facing the company, and arguably worst public discourse - maybe now this time is different. I don’t know.

I don’t underestimate FB finding a new monetization avenue. I think FB will evolve, whether that is better or worse for society I don’t know.
Unless you absolutely need to go 1 kilometre specifically, what are the advantages to this over using G.hn? On shorter runs G.hn will go anything up to 1.8Gbps and will still manage well over 100Mbps on anything up to about 700-800 metres. Even better/further with coaxial instead of twisted pair.

I’ve been using a pair of GIGA Copper G4201TMs to take advantage of twisted pair wiring at home rather than having to rip it out and it also appears more cost-effective: https://www.gigacopper.net/web/en/ghn_faq_en.html
I generally agree with the second part of your comment, but it is still true that homeless people survive fine, their quality of life is just usually bad. This is very different from starving to death and needing to shoplift
In this thread: Wealthy tech bros who were never desperate or courageous enough to shoplift a thing in their lives. That describes me as well, but at least I have the decency to be self aware about it.

I agree with most of what this video has to say.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGB7QnOZj3g

If you are so passionate about stopping theft because it's wrong, then you should be focusing your energy on stopping wage theft and white collar crime which is orders of magnitude more damaging to our economy and society than shoplifting could ever be.

The only case where I would support a larger effort to crack down on shoplifting is when it is organized. The majority of shoplifting cases are just individuals doing it for their own reasons. But occasionally, including recently, there have been cases of organized shoplifting rings. That's a big enough crime that it's worth going after.

Double encryption doesn't actually help in that case though - if tailscale (maliciously) added nodes to your network the ssh session being encrypted wouldn't change the fact that they can run commands on your machines. And if they wanted to actively MITM you they could do so (by redirecting your wireguard connection to a server owned by them) even with encryption (presuming they can fake the host key, which they could do at worst by running code on your server to steal it).

To be clear I implicitly and explicitly trust tailscale not to tamper with my networks and if your threat model includes tailscale becoming a bad actor you should remember that in that case running their binary in the first place could already be game over.

2x4s are 2" by 4" before they're finished. If you search S4S (sanded 4 sides) 2x4s, they will actually be 2" by 4". If you get the wood with rounded corners, they take a quarter inch off each side to "finish" it. It's been that way for 100 years.

Hah. Related, i became disgruntled with my previous favorite language for this reason. It promoted this style of development. Surface level simplicity built into the language, with minimal tools to actually manage the complexity that is inherent to the problem space you're working in.
Disclaimer - I worked on this Codex CLI prototype.

This is totally valid. We built it such that you are still in charge of whether or not you accept the command - what you see are just suggestions, not code that will automatically run. That said, there will be people who accept something they don't understand. We've been thinking about detecting dangerous commands and warning the user to proceed with caution - would this seem like a tenable approach for you?
Why not include that in the article then?
> I'll go back to something I said elsewhere. If it's so easy to move and change why is C++ still being written?

Because C++ is very very much a living and, most importantly, evolving language. It gives modern conveniences, while benefiting from existing user base and maturity. Alternatives may be better for specific emerging use cases but can’t just yet challenge the incumbent for the reasons above. One day C++ may have to yield, but at the moment it’s been actively renewed and the effort to migrate codebases to a new standard is smaller than porting onto entirely new language.

Yup, Eppo will do the randomization/exposure part of the experiments. But we also can be (and are often) paired with existing randomization tools, whether it's LaunchDarkly, Optimizely, or in-house capabilities.

And I'd bet that there is a lot in common with Eppo and your tooling at Lyft. :) The product was inspired by what we built at Airbnb, and what we saw at Netflix, DoorDash, etc. An easy way to understand Eppo is "a SaaS experimentation tool that feels like what you had at Airbnb/Lyft/Dropbox."
