Actually running a CA, even if only for private purposes, without certain regret down the road involves more than creating an OpenSSL cnf file, creating a root cert/key, and running with it. That said, it's a starting point. If you're looking to use more modern (i.e., faster) crypto than RSA keys, maybe check out my sping on a CSR generator wrapping `openssl`, available at https://johannes.truschnigg.info/code/tls_req_gen

If you need a self-signed cert instead, maybe try https://johannes.truschnigg.info/code/tls_cert_gen

Uber isn't a good example. They came up with a business model that literally required customers to get into strangers' cars. Eighteen nanoseconds later, the taxi industry was dead.

There is no other possible conclusion to draw, except that the taxi industry had it coming.

Fast-forward to today. The venture capital has long since run out. Taking an Uber costs at least as much as the taxis ever did. Yet, do you foresee any way for the taxi industry to make a comeback, except by holding the rest of us at gunpoint?

To put it bluntly, the system works actively against working on hard problems. And very intensely so.

So, you are taking the set of a dozen or half of people good and enough on their research line and privileged enough to possibly make an important impact, and filtering it by requiring that they have that completely unrelated competency of hacking a social system so it turns from forbidding their work into allowing it.

How selective is that new filter? Because if it's anything like 10%, you'll probably end-up with no one at all.
Well the important part for me is what confidence levels I have, which is why I wrote the rest of the comment about why I try to distinguish between my opinions and my facts.

But yeah, when I'm reading things, I take them with a grain of salt (or depending on the topic, rather more than a grain). But I always trust people who are capable of expressing their own confidence levels more, because I can see that they've considered the topic more fully. For example, I don't like microservices, but I trust the comment that talks about microservices with qualified positivity far more than the one that just says "microservices are bad because XYZ" without giving any indication of the nuances involved in such a decision.

I find guidance to be fantastic for doing complicated prompting. I haven't used the 'controlling' the output feature as much as used it for chain prompting.

I feel like this applies to consumers too. We have a whole generation of people that don’t want to pay for anything (speaking generally, not just Unity related). People are building their businesses using tools that are free/near-free and that are losing vast sums of money. It’s created a broken market both from the supply and demand sides and it’s why businesses are having to resort to subscriptions. Almost none of the people using Photoshop would pay $1000 for it every time a new major update comes out, even though they use it daily in their business and generate their income from it.

I don’t understand the “once it was delivered” aspect. Why not ask people to commit whatever they have and then you can see if it is going in the right direction (or not).

If you can’t do this yourself, at some point you need to be able to trust (yes trust) someone who can. You could not formulate OKRs or KPIs that would have solved this problem.

Thanks for commenting. There's still at minimum 2000 feet between each train, and track interchanges between most stations even above 59th. Plenty of room for some number of 5 foot long auto cars to be scheduled between the long trains. And congestion pricing and limited scheduling slots during rush hour is kind of a solved problem. But the goal would not be to augment the already efficient routes. Instead to complement for the inefficient routes, in, like, the entirety of Brooklyn and Queens, where most of the time most people have to wait close to 10 minutes for something to come.
> as the data shows the big retailers clearly cooperating on price fixing.

The data does not clearly show that at all. It shows the expected result of inflation in a competitive market.

When Company A decides that it's time to raise prices on Product B due to inflation (maybe their wholesale price went up), Company C, being under the same market pressures to raise prices, also raises their price but, because they still want to be competitive, they don't raise them beyond Company A. Reacting to the market isn't collusion, anti-competitive or anti-consumer. If you just reverse the direction the prices are going, it seems a lot less sinister and it's still the exact same inputs/outputs.

The whole thread is made of points like that, especially the "asymmetrical information warfare" bit. He's scraping the websites for this data, right? Obviously that information is available at home. Moreover, the situation has actually dramatically improved because of the internet. You can now put together a cart on two different websites and go to the cheaper store if you'd like. Try doing that twenty years ago. I used to have to read the weekly ad to know these things, now I can just look online.

The _only_ point that's being made is that Austrian prices are a bit higher than other nations and, for some reason, he thinks it's because the companies are conspiring in some way and not that it's, for some reason, more expensive for those companies to operate in Austria. That seems like the obvious solution to me since they appear to have a competitive market with a few major players.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence I guess. :)
Except that there are problems with the emergency scenario on both sides:

- In an actual urgent emergency, getting in touch with the 3 people and getting the data might be difficult and take days/weeks. One is on vacation, another is going to take a couple of days to try to remember where they stored the USB key...

- And nothing limits it to emergencies. The 3 people can just get together immediately and examine the valuable information inside, whether it's account numbers, crypto keys, a will, etc.

So the only value here is in not having to remember a separate password. But I expect it's just as likely for people to lose the files entirely as much as it is for them to lose passwords. If you share a password-encrypted file with 5 friends, I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years later, only 1 of them still had it. In that case, better to store file+password per-person, rather than require 3 of them to keep it.

Indeed. If I had to bet, I would say doubling the memory allowed some/all indexes to fit in RAM. RAM is usually a big improvement when it comes to Relational Database Management Systems (RMDBS).

Interesting read. I'd be curious to see examples of companies that change their positioning every 5 years, vs those that are able to nail a long-term position.

Your example of "Enjoy the silence" sounds more like a tagline than a positioning statement.

This is so easy to also get confused with Mission statements.

I was thinking "Organizing the world's information" was Google's positioning statement, but that's their mission statement.

Other articles get this confused as well [1]. From what I understand, the positioning statement should be more of a "for [customer] we [do the thing] so they can [be the person]"

> Calling out networking doesn't preclude me from mentioning IPC.

You made the same point I made as though it was in contradiction to what I said. Adding a network call adds complexity, yes.

> A core tenant of microservices is being able to individually deploy your microservices.

And why would you not want this to be independently deployable?

> You're making my point: If you don't have the engineering chops as a team to make a robust monolith, you definitely don't have the skills and resources to start looking at microservices.

Firstly, you never made that point. Also, I never argued against it, in fact I agree completely.

> Microservices are a pattern for companies where a "microservice" gets the kind of development and devops support that would justify spinning off a new mid-sized enterprise.

Disagree, netflix has >1000 microservices.

I run a squid proxy with TLS intercept on a raspberry pi, with my own CA.

I have things set up so that the RPi connects to a WiFi, and then a cable from the RPi goes to another WiFi router.

I connect my MacBook Pro to that other router.

This way the MacBook Pro cannot reach the internet.

Then I set the http and https proxy configs in Firefox so that it goes via the squid on the RPi. And I have the root CA from the RPi trusted in Firefox.

Additionally I have set some env variables and added my root CA cert to some cert storages on the computer, so that git can clone via squid, and I can install and update things with brew etc.

It works great :D

But then I tried to set up my iPhone to also connect to that WiFi. I think I managed to trust my root CA on the phone. But I couldn’t manage to set up the http/https proxy on the iPhone and so for now only the MacBook Pro can use it, and not the iPhone

I always picture companies see regulatory bodies as a slalom course with regulations representing the slalom poles.

The course changes occasionally, but companies adapt quickly and learn to handle the course changes efficiently on the next run, skimming by the poles on the way to the finish line.

Every once in a while a new pole smacks them in the face, but by the next fiscal year, they’ve learned to navigate past it as if it weren’t there.

Lawyer are usually damn fine slalom racers, but occasionally you do need to donate money to the course to encourage the owner to move the poles.

Something like this seems like it would be good at solving normal public transit systems' last mile problem, but to make the economics work you'd need to run very short trips or be able to take more than one rider at a time.

Short trips with one passenger each would have to be incredibly short - at $1.50 per trip you'd have to be making 10 of them an hour just to cover one minimum-wage salary in a lot of places, so obviously we need these cabs to be carrying more than one fare at a time.

To make that work, you'd need to have some set of pre-determined, pre-published locations for passengers to find cabs heading to a particular destination, and you'd probably need a list of pre-vetted destination locations where you know you can drop them off without getting stuck or blowing the budget.

In other words, buses.
That's really neat, thanks for the pointer. ;)
We would probably be talking about Tesla as the new Enron already had the COVID boom not happened, which threw the car market into a pro-seller extreme. Before COVID they were so desperate for money that they were stiffing vendors, not paying the ones they had to be until after financial statements for the quarter had been generated (to appear profitable on paper), literally taking scrap parts out of the dumpsters in the back of the factory to cobble together cars that they tried to pass off on people by making them take delivery before seeing the vehicle, etc. Not to mention the 'financially delivered' nonsense.

If Tesla is still continuing those practices then there is simply no future for the company. Hopefully they have fixed those issues.
You hear this all the time "software on old machines used to be blazing fast and now software on new machines are slow".

I was there for most of the old machines and my recollection is they were always slow, which is why there was a relentless race to upgrade to a faster machine and why for a very long time people replaced their computer once a year. If software and old machines were so snappy then there would have been no reason to buy a new computer, and the industry would have stalled in 1984.

This trope of "how did things get so slow, they were fast in ye olde dayes" is just an incorrect blurred memory of they way things were.

AND if the software was faster in Ye Olde Dayes, it is because it did less.

Of course it's not possible to generalise, but for the most part this is true - old software did less than modern software. The pervasive experience of using old computers was waiting.

My M1 Mac running 2 IDEs, 3 web browsers, email, terminals and several other apps is ridiculously, mind blowingly, insanely fast - so fast that anyone back in 1990 would have drooled themselves dry to have that speed.
