Your nitpicks and misinterpretations are not my factual errors.

> TPM is not HSM

Most TPMs we care about are their own piece of silicon. The software and firmware ones aren't real HSMs, but come on, we all know those are shortcuts to the real thing.

> TPM is […] not enclave

Never mentioned "enclave" in my article.

> TPM […] does not allow running arbitrary computation.

Hey, I said as much, that's the whole point of my article.

> TPM is a specification […]

Oh please. Can't I use the same word to refer to the TCG specs and actual instantiations in hardware or software?

> HSM or TPM never release the signing key as authors writes.

I never wrote that.

> DICE does not release the initial seed used to derive the inital hash/key.

Which is why I never said it did.

> DICE addresses different market. […]

Yes, I'm aware. I also noticed how the TCG manages to promote DICE without noticing it makes their baby TPM 2.0 obsolete. I'm guessing this is motivated cognition. In any case, I think the TCG should start working on a DICE-capable TPM 3.0 right away, and spare us the now needless complexity of TPM 2.0.
Which is why the job of a competent security team is to make the secure way be the easy way.

If security protocols are a pain in the ass generally the security team has been doing a bad job.

Of course a telescope might not have a security team at all.

> If you think that microservices solve the "spaghetti code problem", well, good luck to you, you'll need it.

That is a very good point. In fact, good monolithic code layout is a precursor for microservices, as only once you have identified your boundaries and isolated your concerns can you begin splitting them out into their own services.

I will say this however - microservices might not solve the "spaghetti code problem", but it definitely helps isolate it. When we get consultants in to speedboat a new system, we give them their own separate service. Saves a lot of time and de-risks our beautiful monolith.
Also, suburbs were planned and most were explicitly designed to continue segregation.
This is the exact reason why I do not use restic.

This is a backup tool, not a security one. The fact that the author does not understand this is a real problem and a red flag.
You might be overthinking it. Its likely just that he's not happy people can block him.
I've tried reading unannotated C and C++ and it's really hard. The problem with reading code is you're anticipating all kinds of input that doesn't necessarily exist at the time of review, and the code communicates not with a person but a code interpreter that reads in a hyper-precise and idiosyncratic way.

Annotations don't work with legal code because there is a real risk the interpreter might use the escaped comments unexpectedly as production code(!). Imagine your C and C++ comments could generate production errors. You probably wouldn't use them much.

There's an argument for giving people a sheet of hypothetical inputs and projected code outputs when we're talking contracts. Biz gives you the 'code' and then in a separate sheet say: hypothetically, a shady backwater adtech company asks for your mother's maiden name; are we allowed to sell it without further consent? And then they give the code output: "Yes, we can do whatever we want." And they go through a list of these hypothetical.

The counterargument is such a sheet could be even more mind-numbing and unwieldy than the original code if not written in an entirely new spirit.

And FWIW, my personal view is that these 70-page contracts of adhesion are a travesty, an evolutionary step, and a weak fiction at this point. The industry does not have a right to force 3 months of mandatory bedtime reading for their userbase every few months, the whole thing is broken and we're all just waiting for courts to coalesce around a better model.
Sounds like you've already made up your mind so don't overthink it.

You'll most likely never see this person ever again and even if you did, you wouldn't want to work with/for them so why would it matter?

Best advice would be to exit gracefully, no need to "burn a bridge".

If you want to play it really safe and keep your options open, be diplomatic about it and, once you secure a new role, say you found something more aligned with your long term career goals / better pay / enticing product etc and you decided to move on but are happy to stay in touch.
That was the most ridiculous part. So in 10 weeks you would have no Angular site. You would potentially have no React site. You would lose your engineering lead. And the management signed off on this suicide pact?
This all comes back to the question of if we consider new to be progress.

Some of these things are basically solved (e-bikes chew through hills, physically separated bike lanes solve the "no space for bikes" issue, etc) but SF is still super car friendly. It has to be because of road and zoning regulations, so roads have to be maintained at a certain level and must be a certain width, and there must be a certain amount of parking, etc. If we gave walkability and biking the same amount of deference and funding our cities would be cyclist/pedestrian paradises.
You can see USB ports in computer adverstised in the magazine I linked. Laptops and desktops alike. A majority of PC chipsets had support for it since at least Aug97:

It's true however that until year change 97/98 USB devices were very rare. Windows got support half a year before in Aug97.
Mowing lawns is pretty bad for insect life though, to be fair. And even having lawns should be avoided from an environmental perspective.

ARM is dead not because I am a RISCV enthusiast, but because ARM is a terrible company that is taking forever to enter the server market.

Neoverse N2 chips should have been available years ago. Once Jim Keller releases his Ascalon server RISC-V CPUs that are competitive with Zen x86 server CPUs, there is basically no room for ARM servers left since ARM couldn't manage to get their feet into the server market soon enough. So many ARM server vendors canceled their CPU projects, to the point that the safest prediction you can make about any new ARM server CPU is that it will be canceled. The thing about ARM is that it is already dead in the server market.
In many cases, yes! On my Mac, which has a userland derived from FreeBSD, I have voluntarily installed stuff like GNU Findutils and GNU sed to get that extra functionality.
It is maybe contender for the research paper that resulted in the most monetary gain for its authors.
It generally does cache built crates for future builds on the same system, so it is usually only the initial build on a given system and the build after dependencies are updated that requires rebuilding serde_derive. I honestly don't know why they thought it was worth doing.
Video from the livestreamed web camera at the legendary BrainWash cafe/laundromat in San Francisco was collected and put into a public dataset and used for training, then later "This data was removed from access at the request of the depositor."

As facial recognition draws scrutiny nationwide, Stanford research raises questions closer to home:

https://stanforddaily.com/2020/07/28/as-facial-recognition-d...

>The camera didn’t attract much attention.

>It was perched in a corner of San Francisco’s BrainWash cafe and offered an unobstructed sweep of the room. That’s probably why the owners placed it there, and also likely what made it so appealing to the authors of a 2015 Stanford paper on using artificial intelligence (AI) to pick out people in crowded scenes.

>The camera streamed its footage live on the internet, where it was collected by the Stanford researchers to train and validate their algorithm’s effectiveness. Clips from the database, preserved on YouTube, show BrainWash customers milling about, ordering coffee or muffins.

>None of them look like they know they’re going to become the raw material for a computer vision dataset that will be downloaded dozens of times around the globe, appearing in Chinese research linked to human rights abuses and sparking national concern over the power and potential of computer vision and facial recognition software.

The dataset even included some (silent) footage of Tony Sparks Open Mic Comedy Night! I would usually sit by the door to the laundromat where the plug was, to the right and out of sight of the camera, far away from the stage the camera was pointing at, to avoid being taunted by the crazy comedians.

To me, the point is you don't need many flags for ls to be useful.

> Imagine asking random New Yorker’s what 9/11 was. Chernobyl is pretty close to being equivalent in terms of fame and media coverage.

The mistake you're making is projecting your personal experience onto others, and extrapolating your personal account to everyone.

In the meantime, the Soviet union employed a massive censorship and disinformation effort regarding the Chernobyl accident, and Russia's invasion force deployed throughout Ukraine is renowned to originate primarily from remote regions of the Russian federation.

Just because you have access to the internet and CNN and benefitted from living in a society where information flows freely, that does not mean that random people from Buryatia enjoyed the same privileges.

> was the behavior of the EIC towards the inhabitants of India

"Really? While the concerns with the EIC having the monopoly on the tea trade and I think some other stuff like saltpetre(?) were real enough, this sounds a bit like a case of populist hysteria.

And I seriously doubt many were that seriously concerned about the treatment of Indians (in India) when one of the most significant grievances the colonists had was the fact the crown severely limited the uncontrolled expansion of the west and established an Indian Reserve west of the the Appalachian Mountains (and assigned pretty much all of the territory captured from France during the French and Indian wars.

A slightly more cynical person might wonder what part did the fact the British tricked Washington (and his soldiers) - promising them land in the newly captured territories and later backtracked on this by severely limiting non Native Americans from settling there -played in inciting him to join the revolution/rebellion.

CA, just in the Bay Area, has got 11% of world market cap with half of the top 15 public co's. These businesses are very sophisticated (practically no one in the world can replicate) and the rest of the economy is huge in many other areas like agriculture (half of US fruits / nuts, still exports internationally), film and media with Hollywood and Netflix, major ports to some of the world's most valuable trading partners (China and Japan), a top notch robust public university system (23 California State Universities and the 10 premier University of California's that lead the way in cutting research), and other RnD like Lawrence Livermore Lab, JPL, SpaceX, etc.

I'm not 'distorting history', I'm just relating what was practical. Yes, there was Modula-2 and yes there was Pascal. But both felt extremely academic and restricted. Pascal still lives on today in the form of Delphi, which has to be a record for being in continuous use as a complete environment. I even paid for both Pascal and Modula-2 on the BBC Micro but performance was just horrible compared to the BASIC that came with that machine in spite of being compiled, compilation took a long time, even for simple programs. Wirth's books were enlightening though and I took a lot of lessons and algorithms from them and ported them to C (some of those I'm still using today!).
I'm curious to hear your thoughts, and I don't think you'll bias tptacek, he's spent a long time doing it.

I spent a lot of time in consultancies and started one myself, I'm not tptacek but here's my two cents.

Does the buyer see you as a commodity? How hard is it to find someone else to do what you do?(as defined by the customer not you) Can you differentiate yourself from competitors?

I think it really comes down to establishing a brand. And the problem is if you can't establish a brand you can't charge enough to fund growth (and at the beginning charge enough to give you time to grow the company).

A company with a brand can charge 2-3x their labor costs. A company without one can maybe charge 25% more than their labor costs and this puts you in the classic consultancy spiral where you spend so much time working for your business you don't have enough time to work on your business.

>I vividly remember a time where people used to just talk in online games a lot more

I play(ed) Ragnarok Online, and some of my fondest memories are logging into one of my characters, going into a PVP map, and then just sit around and talk shit with friends I made there.

We would just sit and talk there, in the PVP map, and when someone who didn't get the memo stopped by to fight we'd collectively kick his ass out and then go back to talking. Some of them would get the memo and come back, then just sit down and join in and bam: New friend made.

Those were some good times.
I like the idea of having two feeds. One blog for long form articles, and one as a microblog (that I usually call a timeline). This way, you have your own self-hosted twitter or facebook-like timeline with short posts.

With Hey Homepage, I also built-in the RSS reader. I'm following a lot of 'dev blogs' that I find here on HN. I'm now in the process of curating an automatic newsletter for myself out of all the feeds I follow (752 feeds and counting, although I should remove some).

My dream goal is to make this more interactive. I would love to be able to shoot simple messages to other websites and thank them for their content or add something to the discussion (just like happens on centralized HN here). If I for myself can get rid of Big Tech as the middle man between my website and others, I would be really happy. Right now, I use simple comment forms under my post, but I soon found out what the boundaries are for decentralized software like this. Still, I think RSS has way more potential than it is used for nowadays.
It interested me, so I did read the whole thing... do you never read anything longer than this at all?? No books? No multi-part blog posts, tutorials?

> using firefox nightly? sorry you cannot use it as your main browser because they can decide to brick your browser randomly to force you to restart.

I'm on Firefox beta for a year or so and never seen this - it politely shows update notice and that's all. Updates itself once I close all open windows of FF. Wonder why Nighly do different things here. From another side - running nightly is expected to be not the same smooth as stable release.
The problem is, that's where the network effect bites you in the butt. With functioning remote attestation, platforms can lock down their APIs, so there often will not be a libre alternative. I.e. if your friends are on signal or whatsapp or twitter or whatever, you'll have to use a second phone to contact them, which will probably soon become your primary phone.
Jim Keller is someone to pay attention to, but as a sibling says, JK has a commercial IP interest, which means the touted openness advantage could easily be lost.

General-purpose consumer computing platform (i.e. servers, desktops and laptops) is yet to be forthcoming from anyone in the space, and they are a way off.

If the Ukrainians are doing it the Russians don’t know they’re doing it

None of this makes any sense, why would either side care about this? I’m now more inclined to believe it was just a weird sensor issue or for whatever reason the traffic through the area caused the sensors to (accurately or inaccurately) read higher - just because there’s absolutely no clear motive and it would be asinine for any of the actors involved to be doing this.

It's absurdly impractical to rent several houses to keep all your offline stuff - most people can not even afford it. On the other hand it's very easy to use several online services to keep all your online stuff.

The only apple I use is an iphone but I don't use any online apple services or any kind of cloud storage of any company for that matter. Even in my iphone I use yandex mail services and I use the local calendar and notes without sending my stuff over to icloud. I also use spotify instead of apple music. Unfortunately as you say I am forced to use ios and safari but it's not that important.

Regarding degoogling, there are lots of free services that do everything you want. How many free email, calendar and contacts providers are there? You can create a microsoft account and use some of their services too - they provide online office for free, and photo storage as well. No alternative to youtube but you can choose not to sign in when browsing videos and use RSS to subscribe to channels. And so on and so forth. "sign in with google" is an awful idea - if they ban your account you will lose not only your google account but accounts on other services as well.

You have an Android phone and a Chromebook but you can still use these third party services on them.
> I also noticed how the TCG manages to promote DICE without noticing it makes their baby TPM 2.0 obsolete.

Alas, TCG seems to have recognized the mistake, so they have recently proposed for the DICE to rely on a separate entity (the DPE) to handle all secrets and cryptographic operations:

https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/TCG-DIC...

"Examples of environments that could be used for a DPE implementation are a secure coprocessor, discrete secure hardware, a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a type-1 hypervisor, operating system kernel, or another type of environment isolated with a
hardware-backed mode switch."

The DPE re-introduces a whole class of problems (i.e. authentication and secure communications) that the DICE was meant to simplify away in the first place.
