> PGP is by far the most common standard for server-side software distribution.

This is probably true, for Linux. Windows does its bespoke PKI thing with Authenticode; OpenBSD uses signify[1].

> Until you convince RedHat and Debian to move their packaging and repository formats to another standard, PGP will remain very relevant for production server software.

This is a fair point! But I'll point something important out: these platforms are essentially using PGP as a dumb key encapsulation format; they benefit (correctly!) from being able to pre-baked rings of trusted distribution keys. The fact that they use PGP for this is an implementation quirk, one that has materially negative consequences[2].

It's not easy for them to switch, but all of these platforms would be well (better) served by switching from PGP to signify, minisign, or similar.

> I am at the mercy of government and ecosystem standards, and as a result no other signature scheme is close to the level of use that PGP has for enterprises that run server-side software.

Out of curiosity: which government standards? I'm not aware of a US Gov't standard that mandates PGP; this would be very valuable to know.

If only they included the sample images. The top Google hit for cameraman doesn't seem very useful.
The entirety of the disclaimer is "sequences shortened throughout", in tiny text at the bottom for two seconds.

They do disclose most of the details elsewhere, but the video itself is produced and edited in such a way that it's extremely misleading. They really want you to think that it's responding in complex ways to simple voice prompts and a video feed, and it's just not.
The archived version has the images that are referred to in the writing: https://web.archive.org/web/20050828114013/http://www.ipodli...

I wonder why they could only use the piezo buzzer and not send cleaner audio out of the headphone port.
I imagine the model also has some video embeddings like for the example when it needed to find where the ball was hiding.

related thought: can a meme spontaneously generate/arise?
Because it is based on pre-stated principles, which the other party is capable of fulfilling. This makes it non-arbitrary.
I'd believe that if there seemed to be any analysis of alternatives. The area of the United States that has been completely wrecked for oil and gas is way, way bigger than the area under consideration for lithium extraction.
Swede here. That is what every company that doesn't want to play according to the Swedish model says. I worked at one of those companies and yes, pay and benefits were better, up until I reached a certain age where the "collective deal" would have been better for me. Was this tiny detail communicated clearly to me? Of course not, I heard it from a colleague who was older and had been at other companies. Was it a lie that "we have a better deal"? I wouldn't say so. Am I still at that company? No.
Unions are too adversarial in relation with business owners/managers for a Pareto efficency in most of modern economies. What they do mostly is forcing a price on labour due to their cartel like strenght, when they are not sitting on their asses.
“Which was the style at the time” is a reference to The Simpsons, I think. At least I read it with grandpa Simpsons’s voice in my head.

I once was listening to a song in a cafe in Pakistan and couldn't find it. Me and friends did:

- Shazam a few times

- Ask the restaurant folks if they can look at some screen to get us the name, apparently it was on a screenless mp3 player

- I recorded a sample of it

- I tried all fingerprinting services apart from Shazam

- Posted on a few subreddits, found the base song, a daft punk song but not exact one

- I looked up all remixes all over internet, no luck

- Finally someone found the exact soundcloud link, apparently it was a remix with no mention of daft punk anywhere
Their "duty to the public" being to deliver license plates to Tesla? Really?
Every culture has its own unwritten rules and customs. If you want to do business in a foreign culture, it's your responsibility to learn those customs and adapt to them. If you refuse to adapt and your business suffers because of the backlash, the cause of failure was your cultural insensitivity and/or ignorance.
Check out a book called Growth Units, which dives into unit economics across different business types.
Depends on what you mean by ordinary workers. But a lot of people can. A Model 3 is not a status symbol at all. Same with Model Y. They're just.. People movers. What makes Teslas expensive is its repairability, and therefore insurance.
It isn't just IF Metall vs Tesla in practice. The result of this whole thing will impact Swedish labor standards as a whole by setting a critical precedent for both companies and unions. I'm not part of IF Metall, but also not naive enough to think this power struggle won't affect me or people I care about working in Sweden in the future.

Sam Altman-Backed Crypto Startup Raises $100M Bitcoin Private Credit Fund
One issue with the work environment is that the workers get a 1 hour max time to find bugs. If they take longer than that they get a mark against them and may cause them to lose their job. This rewards workers who cheat and just send away the cars within the time constraint.

This is an example of something they want to fix.

I have used Swype texting since the t9 days.

If I demoed swype texting as it functions in my day to day life to someone used to a querty keyboard they would never adopt it

The rate at which it makes wrong assumptions about the word, or I have to fix it is probably 10% to 20% of the time

However because it’s so easy to fix this is not an issue and it doesn’t slow me down at all. So within the context of the different types of text Systems out there, I t’s the best thing going for me personally, but it takes some time to learn how to use it.

This is every product.

If you demonstrated to people how something will actually work after 100 hours of habituation and compensation for edge cases, nobody would ever adopt anything.

I’m not sure how to solve this because both are bad.

(Edit: I’m keeping all my typos as meta-comment on this given that I’m posting via swype on my phone :))
> So the model seems that there are unwritten rules and that the whole country is allowed to club you into submission if you don't follow them.

You mean like rent and monopoly seeking and corporations try to buy politicians and eliminate competitors so they can force consumers into submission?

Looks like a case of using the power you have, like corporations do. Why do you take a dim view of collective action when capitalism is a system that is slanted toward rich corporations?

Also Musk here is typically full of shit: he makes various libertarian noises but Sweden's system is largely untouched by government, it's an understanding between larger corporations and workers (unions). Sweden even got an opt out from EU minimum wage laws to preserve this understanding. Musk should be rejoicing the unfettered capitalism, but in reality he just wants everything his own way, and thinks he can get it.

I worked at an all-you-can-eat buffet as a teenager in the 1990s.

Our big fill-you-up-cheap item was pizza. The ingredient cost for pizza is ridiculously low, even for above-average quality ingredients. An entire pizza was likely $0.50 or so, depending on toppings.

The restaurant oven was this giant gas-fired thing with 5 or 6 circular, rotating stone surfaces with each set to its own temperature. The pizza stone was set somewhere between 550 and 600° F.

My main job was making the pizza, and they were good. Definitely better than anything you could get at a Pizza Hut or Dominos or Little Caesars. People would even ask for custom pizzas, and management didn't care. You put it out on the buffet line and wave at them so they know it's ready. Of course, while they're waiting they aren't eating other things...

The restaurant also had a little game room with arcade machines that spit out tickets for cheap prizes. Kids would have a slice or two of pizza and then run off to play games, making their visits especially profitable.
In order for a model to understand what ugly is, someone or something has to tag training data as “ugly”, I find this to be a complete can of worms
PGP over email is used in the real world and used successfully.

Research about online black markets (which serves as a nice "case study") will show that the main form of communication between people there have been pasting a PGP encrypted message into a text box and sending it, and sometimes literally using email.

In a situation like this, where anonymity and privacy are critical, signal is not even remotely an option because it requires a phone number.

Matrix may be possible to use, but it would require that someone run a matrix server that allow people to make accounts with no information required for sign up, and allow signup and use of the server over tor, which are all unlikely.

PGP over email or pasted into a web form is simple, it doesn't require signing up with a phone number or any PI, it can be used over tor, and it can be done with basic utils installed on almost any Linux distro.

I suspect a lot of cryptographers have not done research about what goes on "in the real world" or "in the wild". It would be interesting for them to setup a mock situation where two people attempt to send messages to each other without doing anything that could identify them in any way, completely anonymously, to emulate what using these tools in the real world would be like for a whistleblower or journalist or whatever.
It does hurt because you can’t deliver targeted ads based on message content.

That is how it works. What you're missing is that everyone, both servers and clients, agrees that supporting old SSL versions is a bad idea. And they're right.

There is indeed such a law. There’s also a law saying that the state must provide me with a passport after I apply for one, but if their distribution system breaks down for whatever reason I cannot just show up at the passport making factory and demand my passport.

I think it’s obvious that Tesla will be allowed to get their plates sooner or later, and Transportstyrelsen does not seem to be of the view that they shouldn’t be. They are more concerned about the practicality and legality of letting them pick up the plates from the factory.

I had a similar experience at Airbnb.

My title at Airbnb was “Data Engineer” in 2016, then “Software Engineer - Data” 2016-2019, then just “Software Engineer” 2019-2023.

When I joined the DE team we were not in the Engineering Org, our manager reported to the head of Analytics (Chief Data Scientist). The DE perf cycle, job levels and comp were all tied to the Analytics Org levels. There was a Data Infra team (DI) under Engineering > Infrastructure who managed Presto, HBase, HIVE, &c. but didn’t touch pipelines, that was DE’s job.

Most of the DE’s owned more than pipelines though, many of us also wrote and owned services. Max on our team built Airflow and Caravel/Panoramix/Superset during hackathons, Johnathan built our Data Quality tool, Amit built the Minerva semantic metrics layer (which Nick, James and Paul spun out as Transform), Aaron built our Anomaly Detection platform, John built Dataportal, I built our Customer Support Roster service and a Kafka indexing service.

Our manager was awesome. She saw that we were undervalued in Analytics and lobbied successfully to move the team to the Engineering Infrastructure org. We were all retitled in Workday, our perf structure changed to align with the rest of Engineering, as did our levels.

DE living as a whole org team under Infra lasted less than a year before we were split up and distributed into the respective product teams we supported, as Software Engineers with a focus on building & maintaining pipelines, schemas, logging libraries… and the existing tools we had built. The intention was to be embedded into the product teams (Homes, Trips, Support Tools, &c.), skill up these teammates and share the oncall load. In reality what happened was that (at least) 3 DE teams then grew in the various product orgs.

- Lesson content section has unnecessary horizontal scrollbar visible

- No visual distinguishing or handling for scrollable area (vs the finished display area) had me trying to scroll with my mouse hovering on the lefthand side often, and momentarily confused why it wouldn't go. Make the whole main body section scroll the content, ideally.

Well, most Sushi places use fake crab meat (kani). And to be honest, it is not what makes sushi good or bad. I had below average sushi with real crab meat.

Just for the guys with allergies: It contains eggs and wheat.
Imo no. Early stage startups should to be ruthless and should demand employees that are obsessive perfectionists in addition to being excellent executers. They also need to be capable of handling high levels of workplace stress and adapting to new situations.

Lots of people like the idea of working for a startup, but very few are well suited for it. It's why I think probation periods for employees in startups are essential and if an employee underperforms in the first month they should be cut.

The place I'm working at right now is about as far as you can get from a startup, but simply managing crappy devs on our team takes up about half of my day. It's fine given what I'm doing, but I wouldn't personally be okay with wasting time like that at a startup, and I'd probably quit myself if it wasn't addressed.

But there are no hard rules here. The startup might be fine if the business plan is solid and rest of the team can compensate for the under performers. But either way you'd still be better off without them.

You'll have to decide if prioritising the success of the company is more important than being nice. I personally I wouldn't like the odds of a startup that's aware half of its employees are underperforming but can't do what's needed. And if you're building the company with other people's money I'd argue you're also being negligent with your investors' capital.

Never saw that style of service at old country buffet. That chain is usually go get it from the buffet tables with a person on the end of the buffet tables carving ham or beef. If you have never been to a 'Brazilian' steak house you should try it at least once they are a little pricy but a very interesting experience distinct from a buffet. The one I went to had a very small salad bar. Everything else they wandered by and served meat of skewers.

I've seen this at several AYCE sushi restaurants. They repeatedly offer you seaweed salad, soup, and mussel appetizers, but get really 'busy' when they are preparing the sushi rolls. The worst I saw was (about 20 yrs ago) some stingy owner had a stipulation for AYCE only for the first hour, then you had to pay up. The chef was incredibly slow preparing the food. Other places I've seen try to chat you up to slow down your eating.
Honestly the idea that CIA and NSA wanted a decent search engine and helped fund it is not really that shocking.

Google did end up creating vast databases of personal data which are incredibly helpful for CIA and NSA. If it came out the intelligence community helped Google become the data hub that it is, that would be interesting and potentially shocking. However I really doubt that was anticipated and none of the information here presents any connection to this part of Google's existence.

I recently was playing with SVG, to get a dropshadow I couldn't make when drawing on canvas.
I could not get css dropshadows in SVG working in Safari and had to use SVG native drop shadow filters, and then that looks different in Safari than in the other browsers.

The specific thing is at https://www.einarmagnus.net/pages/logo
I do my best to detect safari with javascript and activate the SVG version and disable the css version.

Background on the "recursive yin yang" is here: https://einarmagnus.net/blog/2020/01/22/finding-the-logo

Maybe I'll play with texture, I like that aesthetic a lot. But it is frustrating that it looks so differently in Safari. Do you think that they will converge on how they interpret SVG?
On the second question - my understanding is that non-union associated employees do not have a protected right to strike, as individual employeees. You can't just refuse work and say "I strike!" At least their rights are weaker. Much of Swedish labor laws are about associations of employees (=unions) and associations of employers. As an individual, your rights are not the same. We will see what the courts say in the end but this distinction is not so well known, and it often comes as a surprise for non-unionized members when a company is downsizing.
