The alternative, which is also established practice, is to sell CA=YES certificates with no nameConstraints extension. What does the RFC say about that? Nothing. That's why bringing up the RFC is silly.
They don't, because they just want to be able to play Minecraft.
IMHO there is something valuable here.

One of the problems with emails is that the sender don't understand what is happening to the receiver in terms of added work to perform, so this adds the feedback needed to the system.

About the "expire" feature, it is a lot of time I think gmail should have something like that. "Sorry this email remained in the user inbox for N days, the user was not able to reply so please send it again if it is important, or make it shorter and easier to reply for the user by improving it".

Btw I'm part of the problem as I tend to write very long emails. That's the issue. Emails should be short, and conceived so that the sender will have an easy time to reply something meaningful using a small fraction of his/her time.

That's probably more of a cultural problem than a technological one. However when I realized email was going to kill my productivity I stopped replying to most of the messages that hit my inbox.
I actually did a bunch of research a while back on this very topic. I put the best links at the bottom of my resulting blog post. https://explodie.org/writings/researching-longform-styleshee...
That may be, and I'm glad you found an application that works for you, but in general it's far harder to write client-side Java GUIs (in the browser or out) than to write a webapp that does the same thing. Not to mention that it's easier to hire for webapp skills, these days.

In the time it takes to learn GridBagLayout you could have finished your whole project, and the web version is going to be far easier to modify, and your architecture is almost certainly going to make the data easier to access.

When it comes to analyzing big data, I'd do the majority of the crunching server-side, and only pass viz data out to the client (which is always going to be orders-of-magnitude smaller than the source data).
> I told him we should put a reasonably senior job title on my business card so I could get meetings, so we did. I wasn’t really operating like a true Director-level person until probably the last year I was there.

Its an interesting trend in tech where titles don't communicate actual experience.

Directors without anyone reporting to them, 10 person companies with 3-4 C-level executives, software / network "engineers". In some cases its "we can't pay you enough for the hours you will put in, so here is a fancy title".
YC(ie kirsty) will make you change to a delaware C-corp, possibly with your existing non-US company as a subsidiary. The Levys will make you transfer all IP to the new corp.
There used to be a mail provider (EarthLink?) that automatically responded with a message saying I had to click on a link to get my email past their spam filters. I found that infuriating. I can imagine getting one of these automatic responses might cause similar negative reactions - that the person using Inbox Pro is a little bit of a primadonna.

Having said that, I still signed up for the beta. Because I'm a primadonna.
Would be interesting to hear more details about which software he's using (OS, "Secure File Transfer desktop client", firewall).

Also, it would be interesting to see what one could find on a raw disk image clone (hidden files? rootkits?).
Oh, I hold no illusion of the infallability of the IETF process!

But at the end of the day the world needs to have secure SSL/TLS applications. This requires it to be possible for "one skilled in the art" to be able to design and implement an application using this protocol. He must be able to understand the stated and implied requirements for security in order to have any chance of producing a secure application. And a secure application needs not just to interoperate well, but it must also refuse to interoperate insecurely, prevent impersonation, and so on.

So if we can't end up with secure applications by writing them to the RFCs, then what the hell do we write them to?

Where is this document defining all the ways in which CAs now and in the future feel free to relax the identity constraints which rely upon them to provide?

If it is not possible for a competent and conscientious software developer to write a client application from existing documentation, rely upon a set of root CAs, and end up with a countably finite and well-bounded number of private keys in existence that can impersonate legitimate servers to his application then the CA system has failed in its one and only mission.
Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure to add some more :)
Ameida-Sanchez v. US

But the search of the petitioner's automobile by a roving patrol, on a
California road that lies at all points at least 20 miles north of the
Mexican border,[5] was of a wholly different sort. In the absence of
probable cause or consent, that search violated the petitioner's
Fourth Amendment right to be free of "unreasonable searches and
seizures."
The reasons I hear often for uneven stock splits are because one founder came up with the idea, or has been working on it for a month longer etc etc. When a company is in its absolute infancy, this seems like a logical conclusion but what about when the company is 5 years old? What we see is that even after only 3 months of YC when the founders are all working as hard as each other under stress and often the idea bears no resemblance to the original idea, that this starts to become a problem. The founder with less stock starts to feel like this is not such a good deal for him / her and it can lead to problems.

There are other reasons for uneven stock and as you mention, different levels of commitment or unequal status levels cause problems too. This is something that we would seek to understand more during the applications process when we see it and to try to make sure the founders have really thought through whether this is what they want. The key to a lot of this is open communication between the founders.

Of course, there are some situations where an uneven split does work. An example would be a founder has a mortgage and a family to support and therefore takes more salary in exchange for less stock.

We do not insist on an even split in any situation but I do always make sure that the founders think through their decision carefully.
Where on the queue do auto response messages from other inboxes protected by Frighteningly Ambitious Queue system messages land?
EDIT: After thinking about it some more, there are several places where two methods are almost the same except for one line stuck in the middle. I don't know how to turn them inside-out in Java without spawning a bunch of tiny classes, and it's just not worth it. But with Ruby I could turn them into a single method, throw a yield in the middle, and then call it with a block. So again it comes down to no lambdas.

(Hmm, this was supposed to be an edit, but somehow I did a reply instead.)
This kind of thing is usually done with typeclasses. You have the “real” monad, but you only use it via the restricted interface allowed by the typeclass constraints. Off the top of my head:

class (MonadIO m) => MonadTT m where

ttGetLine :: m String
ttGetLine = liftIO getLine

ttPutStrLn :: String -> m ()
ttPutStrLn = liftIO . putStrLn

class (MonadIO m) => MonadFS m where
fsReadFile :: FilePath -> m String
fsReadFile = liftIO . readFile

cat :: (MonadTT m, MonadFS m) => FilePath -> m ()

In reality I don’t think I would structure it quite this way, but you get the general idea. Code to interfaces, not to implementations.

The point is that writing them to the RFC would not make them secure. The alternative to non-critical nameConstraints is no nameConstraints, which is RFC-acceptable. You're just wrong here, Marsh.

I'd strongly recommend that the choice be left with him.

His parents are responsible for making sure he has the information he needs to make the right decision, but standing in his way won't protect him; the best thing they can do for him is stand behind and protect his decision.

I feel strongly about this because I was in the same position. At 14, after teaching myself to program for several years, I felt that school had a negative effect on my education (in fact, this was corroborated by standardized test scores). Instead of proceeding to high school, I decided to pursue college courses part-time and spend the rest of my time teaching myself to program.

This was the single best decision I've ever made for myself. I eventually started taking more courses at my own discretion, and later transferred to Berkeley to get a degree in math. Now I'm a 23-year old founder of a growing technology company backed by first-tier investors in Silicon Valley, and no one has ever asked for my high school diploma (which doesn't exist). I owe much of this to the advantage I got from the freedom to pursue to my own interests at such a young age, and having support from family to do so.

I'd be more than happy to talk to him or his parents directly if they're interested. Feel free to pass along my email: scott@deltaex.com.

How did they get access to your hardware? No disk encryption?

No, the alternative is no more fucking 3rd party sub-CAs under widely trusted roots.

You've fallen for the old switcheroo.
Regardless of your interpretation of Drake's equation, we have no evidence for life existing anywhere else but on Earth. We never sent Curiosity to look for intelligent life, we sent her to look for evidence of past life or life buried in the rock. To assume that one of the first shiny object we see could even remotely indicate alien life is laughable.

Discovery of alien would be nothing but revolutionary for the human race but don't let scifi and fantasy get in the way of reality. A rock formation like this is not unheard of just because you've never heard about it.
I'm pretty sure that no legitimate covert service operative would identify themselves as such, nor would they brag about going to conferences.
So just asking questions and talking about their startup?
People either pay for the content they consume with money, or surplus attention which you can redirect to other things via advertising & brand messaging. When a content consumer isn't prepared to pay more for your content than the attention required to consume it, the market rate for that content is - by definition - zero.

Because so much content is created, and the barriers to creating it are so low, the imbalance of supply and demand is so great that the vast majority of content has a market value of zero.

Unfortunately the content creators, used to a time of limited content supply and therefore an ability to make good money for that content, have not adjusted to this reality. There isn't likely to be an adjustment that lets them continue things as they were.

What concerns me is the willingness of the major content publishers to throw their lot in with totalitarian governments in pushing solutions which enable censorship and remove control people have over their own devices. In reality this won't work as anything more than a stop gap for those industries (but hey, short term share price wins all arguments), yet will have the effect of letting the genie out of the bottle regarding the acceptance of the mechanisms for censorship and control.
I'd like to know more information.

As it's written this seems to be a very confused article to me. What exactly is the author's point in writing this? And what is his next step moving forward?

What operating system does he use, what software under that operating system (specifically the FTP client), does he have a secure firewall, etc. etc.
It's in the middle of a /20 allocated to Epik Networks, and he's only using roughly a /27 of it. I think the Internet will survive.

If ARIN did ever want to recover space, there are much bigger fish in the sea (I doubt Apple is using all 16.7 million IPs in their 17.0.0.0/8 allocation, for example).
"hack this"?
Sounds like he reinvented email as a standard "ticket system" complete with queues and auto-responses.
You're trying to use humans as an example for the possible disposition and psychology of aliens? Really?

Does it not strike you inappropriate to do so considering the billions of years of evolution and absolutely random events like mass extinctions that led to the rise of mammals and eventually humans?

The post does say Ever since my return from NYC as when the activity has been encountered. Since I'm guessing that he didn't have his external firewall with him on travel, the access could have taken place in an airport or anytime in the US.

It would be interesting to hear if/when he didn't have direct control of his laptop while on travel.
I was replying to the specific scenario given by RMH "apple users could not visit google.com".

RMH chose Google. For him, it was a brilliant rhetorical strategy :-)

So who would be a good example of an organization possessing a 3rd party sub-CA for me to advance my argument? It's much harder because most of them are already relied upon in other critical ways, or are kept secret under confidentiality.

"That hospitality company issued a sub-CA by Trustwave" is the best I can come up with at the moment.

Deceased programmer invented 'Like' button before Facebook, says lawyer
So... how much of the NES does this emulate? As I understand it, it's pretty easy to get a basic 6502 core and a scanline renderer together enough to handle, say, Super Mario Bros. but if you support all the timing corner-cases and memory-map chips and such, it gets to be pretty frustratingly complicated.

EDIT: I should have looked more closely; looking into 'mapper.rs' reveals that it currently supports only the vanilla NES memory-map.

Oh yeah it's a totally safe assumption that if intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe and made it all the way to Mars that they won't find us... you know... one planet over, with a century of RF radiating away from our home.

Having been involved with several open government initiatives in the past five years, both as a consumer and as a consultant to municipal governments trying to to take positive action. I can understand the frustration and anger that such initiatives can provoke. And how it's almost worse when an initiative almost completes it's aim but is perverted by incidental contact with some outside agenda.

That said, any politician who attempts to rig the national census is an idiot. Yes it may win your party momentary advantage this year, but at the cost of causing the government to abandon the reality principle altogether. I'd go so far as to say that doing away with accurate data gathering and attempting to suborn demographic statistics to meet political goals is a pathological symptom of the Beige Fascism [1] failure mode of representative democracy.

Working for CSIS doesn't mean that you're a covert operative. I know plenty of present and past employees of CSIS, CSEC, CIA, NSA, GCHQ, etc -- my understanding is that the general rule is "don't call attention to your affiliation, but it's ok to say if evading questions would draw even more attention to you".

Well, gutters don't get clogged with water. They get physically clogged with leaves and dirt. I don't think this coating would help at all with that.
Perhaps I missed it, but what is the implementation? Is it a web interface which reads gmail? Is it a web-based email @inboxpro.com? I can see a lot of benefit to the features listed, but I can see a big target market where the individual has no choice over mail provider, namely an enterprise exchange host.
Can I just say that Derek Yu is an indie god? I remember being blown away by Diabolika and Eternal Daughter a decade ago. And Spelunky (released last year) is a ridiculously good game, especially with friends. He got his start doing Klik 'n Play games and that's where I first got interested in programming (learning quite a bit about it without doing any actual coding) and pixel art.

I think that most emails (probably all human relationships) can be described by the "who needs this more - sender or recipient?" paradigm (in the parlance of Seinfeld - who has the hand). An example - if a subordinate is emailing his boss, the subordinate needs the boss to read & respond.

This solution would seem to work in cases when the recipient has the power in the relationship. But what about the other X% when he's the underling? Wouldn't the cost of pissing off those individuals outweigh the benefit of increased productivity?

In other words - it can probably work for Bill Gates, but not for the rest of us.
Groan. Nobody gets to do anything to make HTTPS more secure until the world conforms to our norms?
It's very early. You're right that it supports only the very basic functionality.
I emphatically disagree, you just ruined Derek's pixel art. Are you the kind of person that plays emulated games with 2xSai/HQ2X filters?

Here's some way more pixelated, color-limited, and dithered artwork. Would you blur or median filter it? Would you paint over it, vectorize it, turn the dithering into generic gradients?

Great idea! I didn't make a post out of it, just had a few in mind that I wanted to visit, but it turned into me landing a job offer and moving across the country. If that's not what you're shooting for, I'm sure you'll still have a great time and meet some crazy awesome people. Good luck!
I'd say to the parents: definitely let him keep on managing this company. Running something with that much revenue is a big thing for a kid to be doing. I'd love it if my kid was doing that.

I'd say to the kid: don't give up on school. There are lots of ways to continue formal education besides your current high school. Find something that works (see many ideas on this thread), part time if necessary, and do it. Yes, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard, but he could return to Harvard if Microsoft failed.
Not sure about the Harvards of the world, but I'm pretty sure the college I ended up going to only cared about my ACT score, which was > double the minimum score required for them.

I know many people in my HS enjoyed it and were challenged by the classes. Personally I took as many AP courses as I could get my hands on, but the two versions of an AP class seemed to be really slow pace and really high percentage busywork.

By the time my senior year hit, for example, I was attending just enough of my AP Calc class to stay in it and when I was there I slept. AP Calc was my favorite course in HS (because of the math, not nap time), but between the lack of content and slow pace, I couldn't stay awake. I always got points off for not showing work on tests, etc, because I did the work in my head and the time it took to write everything out wasn't worth the ~2 points it cost me.

My college experience wasn't much better. These days I assume it's because I spent the extra four years in HS. I had academic and athletic scholarships, but the classes were ridiculous and of the same HS variety. Sometimes I wonder if applying to places like Stanford would have helped the situation, but when I see the course setups I'm not so sure.

I'd agree that college is more self-directed than HS, but I don't believe it's self directed enough.

Hello,
I left for NYC for five days. Since I develop sensitive cryptography software, I do not store anything sensitive on my desktop, only on my laptop, which is kept with me at all times (even when going on dates and such.) It was my desktop that exhibited this behaviour after my 5 day trip to NYC. Stupidly, I left it on the whole time. I do use full disk encryption.

It looks like a longish and important claim, but it still seems to me to describe trivial stuff that shouldn't be patentable to begin with. It's just a sequence which is pretty obvious to any clear-minded person once the business requirement is stated. It's one wildly broken patent system that grants patents on this kind of stuff.
