Considering we have a town wide meeting once a year to work our issues out democratically. The local network is the entity that records and broadcasts all the monthly town meetings and works with the house of local history to broadcast to name a few community benefits.

Since they community network doesn't charge money I'm not sure how they would pay taxes. The current funding is from the cable companies as part of the agreement to let them use the municipal space on our utility poles.

I think you have what I'm discussing with PBS or NPR. That is not this network.

This is a broadcast studio in the center of a town or 2,400 households. Staffed by volunteers or overworked employees. This broadcast network has many benefits.

We do actual real time voting at town meeting which could be extended through a municipal network to allow more participation.

Definitely the MBTA needs help but I'm surprised you understand that and not the subtleties of democracy in Berkshire county or that nobody is suggesting some sort golden age of TV nostalgia. Currently streaming is done asynchronously likely email.

The problem with Berkshire County public transportation is the whole population of the country is 140ish people per square mile spread out over about 1,000 sq miles.

I was hoping people would discuss the methods of paying for these networks vs. the current cable company subsidy.

n=1. Out of roughly 8 colleagues (mix of infosec, IT, networking), all sought employment elsewhere when RTOd and were able to find remote jobs at higher pay within 2-3 weeks. Those who left pulled others with in some cases. Agree talk is cheap, so you've gotta let someone find out when they fuck around. If the org hurts or burns due to poor management, that is a management problem. Manage better. It is a choice.

Always be interviewing, always be ready to move on. If an employer wants loyalty, I recommend a dog. To be clear, this is not intended to be adversarial. On the contrary, it is simply recognizing the tenuous employment relationship for what it is.
I'm not sure that consciousness is anyone's goal here is it? Can you have a useful intelligence without consciousness?
Not entirely sure why you're getting downvoted. One might disagree with the guidelines but since they clearly say that it's ok to post your work "part of the time", an account created only to post personal content is clrealy going against the spirit of the guidelines.

Do I personally care? No. Am I bothered by the submission? Also no.

Still, downvoting you doesn't seem all that fair since you do raise a valid point.
I agree. We've gotten used to pick what should go into the commit after we've done the work.

There's a very serious and glaring error in doing that if you don't commit everything. When someone checks out your commit in a clean repo, his codebase is in a state that has never existed before, not even on your computer.

Some people (I think we've all done it at least once) split their work into multiple commits after a few days of hacking. Like "Adding data services for X", "UI features for X". This is a bad example, but you get the point.

Normally this doesn't cause a problem since all commits get pushed at the same time. But it can easily break things like git-bisect (which is just an amazing tool for finding astonishing bugs).
Ship Angel | https://www.shipangel.com/ | NYC/Remote | Full-time | SaaS, Logistics

We're hiring a founding engineer to lead development of our portfolio of software products for global shippers and logistics managers. Think Atlassian but for logistics.

Our industry is a big one - with nearly $4 trillion in imports to the US alone, there is no shortage of problems to solve and customers to serve. While existing software solutions have tried to sell customers on a “one-size-fits-all” approach, Ship Angel offers a portfolio of software products that solve discrete but recurring challenges for specific supply chain stakeholders. With streamlined onboarding that instantly unlocks value for it’s customers (as opposed to cumbersome integrations with existing enterprise tools), Ship Angel’s products offer a modern alternative to legacy systems and manual processes.

Our customers are the often overlooked (and under-appreciated) logistics and supply chain teams at some of your favorite brands, who help to ensure the timely and efficient delivery of goods from manufacturers overseas to end customer. These agile teams react to changing market conditions by collaborating closely with their supply chain counterparts like carriers or freight forwarders. Our first product, a rate management system, aggregates information from these vendors and enriches them with proprietary datapoints to enable optimal rate selection.

Ship Angel’s founding team consists of serial startup founders with a track record of successful exits and deep domain expertise within logistics. We’re well funded from our previous exits and a select group of pre-seed investors. As one of our first engineering hires, you’ll be part of the initial team that helps to shape the course of the company’s trajectory. This role will require close collaboration with cross-functional teams and external parties with meaningful growth opportunities.

When teaching myself as a kid, I quickly realized that win32 was way over my head. However, web stuff seemed easy enough, so I started teaching myself web development instead. This was in the early 2000s, before everything started moving to web applications. It certainly managed to pay off!

I never did learn win32...
Yes, assuming some degree of security of the full TCB (both the software and hardware). Of course, no system is bulletproof, but it's slowly going in the right direction - and hopefully since Spectre/Meltdown people are taking more care :)

At the end of the day, it doesn't have to be perfect, just another layer in the Swiss cheese model.

> able to flip one single bit (load?) somewhere inside the SoC

TBH, capabilities at that level (i.e., within the SoC) are fairly difficult to pull off, so probably not in most threat models.
I empathized a little with my manager during the pandemic. My job got somewhat easier, his got much, much harder. I guess managers took a little longer to be whacked by the wrecking ball of technology.
Looks like someone did exactly that

In line with my second point, we can always see "legitimate" uses for more power. But novel centralized power generally accrues to those who already have power - hence your hedging about cloud providers ("however I'd not rely on these technologies anyway").

But yes, I've also put forth the argument that RA could be a neutral feature if it were under the control of the owner of the computer. Either prohibit manufacturers from bundling privileged keys with devices, or require that the chip be able to import and export all attestation keys through an appropriate maintenance mode. Then an end user would always be free to generate new keys or export bundled ones and run the attestation protocols in software, thus preserving their freedom to run whatever software they'd like.

But the above dynamic would not result in widely used protocols for doing attestations, rather they would be a bespoke thing for specific use cases - like say an internal corporate website that can only be accessed by corporate laptops. Hence why I think it's correct to judge every attempt at remote attestation for the general web and/or consumer machines as "evil".

Furthermore, the funny thing that wasn't part of these debates when both secure attestation and secure boot were only abstract threats - secure boot already covers most of the legitimate desires for secure attestation. For example deploying a server at a datacenter - secure attestation would be nice for knowing it's not been tampered with. But secure boot already provides that assurance. The main difference would seem to be that if a software bug allows arbitrary code execution, secure boot falls down immediately while secure attestation is supposed to catch that (although who knows if implementations would actually live up to that).
I don't think it's any of my school's, employer's, internship's, etc business what race I am, unless there are protections in place that make it only for govt statistics. The US Census is also fine.

Like it took until 2023 to finally outlaw intentional racial discrimination in American universities; that was A-OK and widely practiced before. And some of Google's internship programs publicly list what races they prefer, which is common in tech.
Why are you trying to dismiss this guy? I don't understand it. If you don't like the product or feel that $19 is too much money, then move along. God forbid someone tries to make a living by selling software.

I've personally struggled to test https locally [1], and I'm sure others have too. The next time I have the problem, though, I'll save myself the configuration and spend $19.

We are hiring more!
The least talented people will likely stick around because finding alternative employment is more challenging for them. That's disastrous for morale.
The younger generations would sabotage us from within if we tried this.
We've already had a couple "silent" rebellions from "zoomers" and even "millenials".

It's astounding not worth the risk for my firm except for certain teams.
Seems more nuanced than this discussion is making it out. We have had attrition and recruiting challenges with RTO, but also noticeable improvements in morale and productivity - especially when it comes to onboarding new folks.

That chart confuses me. Each data point is percentage increase vs the PREVIOUS year?

So the "steep dive" that you talk about is a single year -1.7% decrease vs a decade of constant increase, going as high as 4.6% in a single year?

I feel that chart is almost deceitful. Every year that this is above 0 is a percentage win no matter the delta. So if that chart showed

* 2030 -> 20%

* 2031 -> 1%

It'd feel like a steep dive, but 2031 would still be an _increase_ in productivity over 2030.
If the investors have turned bearish on Uber they have give or take 10 years to sell that "funny money" at a profit. I'm sure many have and again, my primary point is that for our industry, for the large range of possible outcomes, Uber is a success. Once you understand that, a lot of decisions VCs make and certainly did make in the low interest rate environment from 2010-2022 make a lot more sense.
I don't agree with that characterization, but regardless, that was just a handy link. There's plenty of well-justified skepticism regarding storage out there. Either way, I'd love to see the analysis I suggested. If it's that clear-cut, surely it's not too hard for someone better informed than me to put together the numbers.
This whole thing reminds me of reddit finding the boston bomber, I guess at least this should be less harmful.

I've always found card manipulation magic like Ricky Jay did to be some of the most impressive. The flashier magic can be interesting in other ways but card manipulation feels so pure. There aren't any gimmicks, nothing super flashy, it doesn't require any equipment the average person couldn't acquire for a few dollars, it's just the end result of untold thousands of hours of practice.

Looking at the graph, it seems like productivity skyrocketed in 2020 (when everyone was WFH), returned to the 2019 baseline in 2021, and dived in 2022. To me this indicates that it's somehow hurting productivity for people to have returned to offices.
"once removed" is such a strange term to me. It reads like they become first cousins only once something unspecified was removed. Like "once the tumor was removed the patient survived".
