What is there that is worth watching? They don’t make anything good anymore: no Seinfeld, no Office, no Parks & Rec, no Castle, no Bones, no House. Everything new is terrible, often embarrassingly so.

It’s as though sometime in the last decade all the talent and skill left media, and now we have corporations and people going through the motions but not actually producing anything worth watching.

The contractor I was talking to as he ran my line (around here, they run it through the pipes that were laid down months earlier and leave it on top of the yard for someone else to bury later) said the company didn't trust contractors to do the termination, and so just sent them out with various lengths of cable.
It is compatible, you just have to configure the other client to use the same servers.

For example, to use the "wormhole" Python CLI with Destiny, you can do this:

wormhole --relay-url wss://mailbox.mw.leastauthority.com/v1 --transit-helper tcp:relay.mw.leastauthority.com:4001 send README.rst

Then, the code it prints out can be consumed by a Destiny (or https://winden.app ) client.
They say that many other things are detected by JavaScripts. Well, I think, they shouldn't need to be. Just use HTML; the fonts, line wrapping, etc can be set by the user preferences and should not usually need JavaScripts. Some things (e.g. languages) are send by request headers. Some things I think are unnecessary ot undesirable to detect, including screen resolution (only the document viewport size matters, and usually even that should be unnecessary since the client should render the HTML properly anyways), etc. For some sorts of interactive software some things might matter, but screen resolution is not relevant (only the viewport size is relevant), and even then the operating system is probably only relevant if you want to set defaults for which files you want to access (the user should still be allowed to make their own choices). Even, if scripts are disabled a form can still be filled in but some fields might not be auto-calculated.

How is this not theft?

He took company funds and gambled them. That he won and was able to replace them is immaterial. Martin Shkreli was convicted for misusing company funds even though he made his investors money. It's not "not theft" because you can or do put the money back.

I can't understand how you can't see that.

That $5,000 ($40,000 in today's money) might not have gone very far, but you are very eager to whitewash it because he ended up winning on his gamble, and FedEx has gone on to success. He easily could have lost that bet, and that money could have reimbursed credit card bills for his employees. How that isn't reckless and malfeasance, I don't understand. "We're screwed. I can use the last of this money to try to do something right, or fuck it, I'm going to Vegas!" isn't leadership.
The advantage that speaks to me, is that I control everything. I'm not sharing my data with the developer of the extension so it's one person less that I have to trust. I can also very easily adjust it to my needs, but I can program, so it's not valid case for everyone.

SBF was an entry level employee at Jane street
I can agree with most of what you're saying, but there is a sticking point that I take issue with.

> Now they may have sold unregistered securities, but that's very different compared to downright theft (like Genesis or SBF or so many others did).

I mean, is it? They compared it directly to a bank account [1], and mentioned FDIC insurance for GUSD [2]. They might have not meant for my money to be stolen, but I am quite confident that they were playing fast and loose with terms in order for me to believe that there was lower risk in this than there actually was. There's actually a word for "purposefully making someone believe something that's not true", and it's called "lying", and if they're lying then I kind of have to assume some nefarious intent.

That said, I can broadly agree that maybe they're just morons? I'm probably an idiot too, but it's a little different for a software engineer without any financial training vs. two adults trying to start "legitimate" crypto exchange without doing the proper due diligence to make sure their partners are also legitimate?

Me and my wife kind of do this. More specifically we contribute to family expenses proportionally to our income and we pay all family expenses from a shared bank account (fed with monthly contributions).
Any personal expense is paid by our personal account.
This guarantees that we do have the same saving rate and this feels to me much more fair that a 50/50 split.

Yes, the "setup" messages via the Mailbox Server will be over the internet to a third-party server.

All the contents of these messages are end-to-end encrypted so you reveal which two IP addresses are communicating, but not the contents of those communications. (If you don't want to reveal that, use the Tor options).

The "bulk transfer" connection should be over the LAN only if both devices are on the same network. In any case, all of these messages are also end-to-end encrypted as well.

Yes, exactly. With a margin of <0, either someone is working for free or the company is running off of some kind of VC/angel investment, neither of which is sustainable.
>The only ambiguity to me in reading this is whether the court considered it different because the wages went unpaid for a while before bankruptcy.

This is my entire point.

If you go into chapter 7 bankruptcy, and a judge prioritizes senior creditors above unpaid wadges, you are clearly in different territory than if the corporation was neglecting wages before bankruptcy.

Everyone keeps linking cases for pre-bankruptcy cases, or ones without bankruptcy at all.

Meanwhile, There laws on the books about the prioritization or creditors, and where labors stands, and how much labor gets paid out before, and how much after other creditors.

(Hopefully this feedback is interpreted in the instructive tone in which it is intended, rather than as pedantic nitpicking) There is a subtle difference in meaning between "few X" and "a few X" in English. While they both refer to a small number of items, "few X" has an implication that that number is smaller than hoped or expected, or is smaller than for other members of a similar category. In that sense, your third point ("I genuinely learned few things that I would not have bothered to learn otherwise") sounds like a negative - the implication is that, while you did learn some things, the number that you learned was small enough to not be worth your time.
Yeah. I used to be 100% in on DANE and against CAs. I'm still 100% for DANE but I now think DANE using existing CAs is the better option in many cases because it means things get CT logged. We don't have a DNSSEC transparency situation right now. OTOH there is one undersung issue with CAs, which is that Let's Encrypt isn't as universally available as people think (see the US embargo list) and that does potentially make access to the internet harder for some.

There are some use cases where DANE is actually winning real victories and is actually more viable than the existing CA infrastructure - site-to-site SMTP, for example.

So many footguns in this proposal! From the misleadingly symmetric symbols <= => >=, to the unintuitive behavior (for non-mathematicians) in the case of negative left argument, to the similarity to operators in other languages. Short-circuiting is already possible with the well-understood (!A || B) notation, which has the added bonus of allowing (B || !A) as an alternative with the same truth table but opposite short-circuiting. This proposal saves one “!” character at a very high cost. Just… why?
Most policy changes in a democracy are going to be frustrating compromises. That is a feature, not a bug. While this produces suboptimal results on individual issues like healthcare coverage it helps to maintain broad public support for the overall democratic system. Everyone is unhappy for different reasons, but not unhappy enough to revolt over it.
To be fair, the argument presented in this article is a lot more compelling than your argument of "trust me, I'm a random person".
If you are your hoster and can reroute requests, you can get all kinds of valid SSL certs for any domains that you host.

Just grab these IP packets when CA comes to validate that you own that domain. Perhaps EV could solve that to some extent but it is never mandated.

Even if you tried to put any stuff into WHOIS to mitigate this, your hoster can serve any bullshit on this channel too.

It does look very bad and SSH approach to certificates is just infinitely better. If Jabber used SSL keys instead, they will be alerted immediately.

Come to think of it, your hoster can also find ways to steal keys directly from hardware, though.
Businesses always need to grow in order to deal with ever-increasing costs of running the business. (Rent hardly ever goes down, salaries hardly every go down, costs of services hardly every go down, etc etc.) There are only so many ways one can cut the cost of running a business, and most of them mean not keeping the status quo for employees and making it worse for them.
If it’s so easy, why aren’t there 100’s of viable competitors?

What does "tech industry" mean in this context? There is an additional referenced article (https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/25/who-benefits-inside-the...) that goes into more detail, but I still don't see any actual "big tech" companies (at least the ones that term is commonly associated with).

To my knowledge, Apple, Google, Facebook and others absolutely do not want breaking encryption to happen and lobby strongly against it, so who is "tech" really referring to here?

On-drive encryption serves to allow for secure erase which would otherwise require an entire write cycle and cannot be done at an OS level anyway due to wear leveling and reserved space.

Why would you expect a party's cronyism to be restricted to one industry? If you're implying that Republican's shouldn't be in charge of healthcare because it will result in cronyism, pointing out the cronyism is far from a partisan issue is not whataboutism.

The postgress team is generally opposed to hints. And their reasoning sort of makes sense.

When do you need a hint? why do you need a hint? If you can answer those questions wouldn't it be better to codify those answers into the query planner than a one off hint?

Which nicely sidesteps how hard it actually would be to first, understand the query planner to the degree needed to change it and second, the amount of effort it would take transform a one off hint into a general purpose optimization engine.
https://winden.app is a Web client

The claim about airburst weapons seems like a massive reach. The tops of the palm trees are unscathed, the nearby buildings have more lower than upper windows blown-out. But if they didn’t make this claim they’d have ruled out all Israeli weapons so they just shoved it in there, despite being vanishingly unlikely. I’m pretty sure this is a self-serving tactic to obfuscate how obviously wrong they were initially and retain the faith of their viewers by making the situation look far more complex to unpick than it really is.
Ruby might be readable, but I've really come to hate working in a Rails codebase. So much of what happens is 'magick' that's not obvious, and I constantly hate not having typechecking backing me up.

Blocks are cool, and Ruby makes them so easy to use which is neat, but global namespacing, lack of types, and a general "I'll do it for you" attitude has made it frustrating for me to learn. Not having a reliable go-to-definition in my IDE is driving me insane as well.

I'm less than a year into a new job at a Rails shop though, so obviously a grain of salt with the above, but I've had several peers of mine echo the same frustrations I've had so I don't feel TOTALLY nuts.
Here's a similar article that I read recently about using Ocaml's type system to implement a sudoku solver: https://ocamlpro.com/blog/2017_04_01_ezsudoku/ The author defines types to represent a valid sudoku board, and then uses the obscure syntax `-> .` to tell the compiler that a pattern should be unreachable.

There is no compiler error when he compiles an unsolvable input. But when there is a solution, the compiler provides it:

```
Error: This match case could not be refuted.
Here is an example of a value that would reach it:
Grid (A, B, C, D, C, D, A, B, B, A, D, C, D, C, B, A)
```
Yes, and that was what I myself thought as I scrolled past.

"Jimmy Wales also hasn't exerted control over Wikipedia policy in a long time, and as of this year no longer even nominally has the right to overrule ArbCom."

Except these two facts niggle.

He's on the board, and will always be the founder. He is SV aristocracy in a town where the money you earn is less important than the people you know and the things you have built. He will always have influence and it's naive to believe he wouldn't. So, it is not entirely accurate to say he has no control, just less control than he did. Is it too little control? Perhaps, perhaps not.

If I wanted to construct a set of policies that drove traffic to another site, I would make them quite like Wikipedia has now e.g. Wikipedia is not a gamers manual. Then I would target for deletion much of the nerd content, quite like now. This is quite a coincidence.

I'm not attached to this theory. Also, I don't like spreading negativity. But to me it seems at least somewhat plausible, and that possibility disturbs me a little.
Thanks jadi for new tutorial

That's provable false if you read Michael Lewis' book. He was in charge of some major projects, including the election trade that turned out to be Jane Street's single largest loss to date.

That seems to blow away the claim that he was a entry level employee.

No fund puts "an entry level employee" in charge of betting billions of dollars that lead to a $300M loss.

I haven't been a Ruby programmer for 10 years but I totally agree on Eloquent Ruby. I sure did love that book. I still pick it up sometimes and thumb through it. I did a reading group for Getting Clojure (another book by Russ Olsen) just because I knew he wrote it.

I totally agree. I have to remind myself often, I may not like the tool, but if I allow myself to get competent with it, I can complete any job. The more I sit around and hate it, the less effective I am.
Yes, but outlining one way in which DA's might feel pressured to do what the police prefer even if it's not strictly supported by the law does not "imply that the only time DAs participate in gratuitous punishment of citizens is when cops threaten their careers". It only implies that's one way or reason why they might do that.

That may seem pedantic, but I think it's very important when it comes to having useful and rational discussions. If anyone isn't seeing that, replace "DA" with a minority if your choice and "gratuitous punishment of citizens" with any other negative behavior, like theft or crime, and try to explain what the difference is between the statements. If we can't follow the same rational when assessing behavior of groups we have favorable or unfavorable predisposed opinions towards, then we can't even discuss effectively.
