No. Honestly I haven't been to Austin and I have heard good things about it but I did spend a few years living in the DFW Metroplex area (Arlington and then later in Plano). I have on the other hand have had bad personal experiences with UT graduates being rather full of themselves clueless about the real world. As well as white middle-class 19 year olds thinking they're social media experts because they posted a blog post.

Texas in general has always left a bad taste in my mind and their political and religious exports don't do much to change my opinion.

I always love how Austin get's thrown out as some amazing counter to excuse the rest of the state.
Google have some pretty good deprecation policies in place with regard to sunsetting their Cloud offering. I recall when I last looked (for appengine a couple of years ago) it equated to a promise to keep the service running for about 3 years. Doing a quick check of terms now, it seems like this has been updated to:

"Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate those Services versions and features identified at https://cloud.google.com/terms/deprecation without these changes for at least one year after that announcement, unless (as Google determines in its reasonable good faith judgment):"
https://cloud.google.com/terms/

Not great, but a year is a long enough time to migrate away. That being said, my recent experience (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8784356) has prompted me to migrate away asap.
Pervasive authenticated encryption will not prevent the NSA from doing their job, as long as lawmakers think they should do their job.

Instead you will see key-escrow laws or even bans on encryption.

You cannot solve the political problem by applying encryption.
That rings true for me. AWS has a huge amount of momentum behind it because people are already familiar with the product, thanks in part to its market position, but also due to the 12 months free trial that a lot of people [ab]use in their own time.

I will say Microsoft has been doing a lot to familiarise people with Azure, they've been giving it away to students and MSDN subscriptions like candy as well as offering trials in various shapes and sizes.

I dread to think how much Microsoft spends on Azure advertising, but considering there is now an NFL ad for it, likely a heck of a lot.
Sweet project, and awesome walkthrough, but this strikes me as less of a recompilation and more of building a virtual x86 machine whose instructions are defined at compile time.

I imagine that with a perfect optimizing compiler, this distinction would go away, but we're nowhere near that point.

Is it not possible to abstract away some of those calls back into native C++ code (i.e. avoiding the need for cpu and memory classes)?
If you're on Windows, it's a great site. I just had to provision a new laptop, and it saved me a ton of time, since I was able to install about a third of my checklist with a single download.
But what about a safe? Isn't that the same... And if safes are required to have a back door, what keeps it out of the hands of theives.. and when does a bank vault differ from a safe? So you want high profile theft to be made easy just to make investigations easier? I don't think so. Rarely will an investigation come from or hinge on the data on a phone alone, or should it.

If the government weren't trying to run illegal phone searches and broadly collecting data, then Apple and Google wouldn't be under consumer pressure to encrypt. Not to mention a lot of said pressure came from people in the government.
Isn't there protocol to call to another bank and ask them to send it back? Or at least get info about the account?
This is a bit of an odd article. The FDA has approved a number of different antibiotics over the past year. Most are not new mechanisms of action, but they are new products that have different profiles against different resistant bacteria.

The other issue is that this is very early in development. I really hope it gets through trials, but there are graveyards full of promising antibiotics that failed.

I'm not defending the CA model; there are lots of known problems. But using a CA-signed cert before pinning it is way better than blindly trusting whatever cert you get on your first connection, which is the OP's suggestion wrt SSCs.

> Things that also work like this that we all rely on and generally seems more secure than most other things we use: SSH.

When was the last time you verified a certificate's fingerprint out of band when connecting to a server for the first time? Maybe you're the kind of person who scrupulously does this, but in my experience even paranoid computer types don't, to say nothing of regular people.

> I believe moxie was right, a combination of perspectives + TOFU is the way to do this.

There's a big, big, big difference between insult and satire.
I'll let you think about that for a while.

Charlie was a satirical paper, it was here to provoke thoughts, not just for muslims. The people that took the insult were the people that don't understand satire.
A bad analogy is like a wet screwdriver.

Try this one, it's better, but not perfect:

Imagine what happened if some cheap invention turned all buildings into inpenetrable fortresses unless you had a key for the lock.

Now police can not execute a valid judge-sanctioned search warrant.

How long time do you think lawmakers will take to react ?
When people say Amazon is not profitable, they mean "not very profitable". With their enormous revenue, they still generate enough money to maintain a pile of billions of dollars:

>TOFU - Trust On First Use

The scenarios where this works are pretty limited. Pretty much only a server you set up. Jane User has no idea if the first use of ecommercesite.com is actually safe. You generally do because you have other band access to that server to see the key or key fingerprint. Even that can be thwarted by a clever MITM attack.

>Things that also work like this that we all rely on and generally seems more secure than most other things we use: SSH.

Yeah, that's generally for system administrative access not general public access for the web. For that kind of access, you need higher safeguards, thus the CA system we have today.
Really interesting views on people disliking but still using Facebook. I was walking around my college's campus a few years ago and overheard a girl saying "well, he doesn't have a facebook, so thats kind of a huge red flag to me. I dont think I'm going to keep talking to him"

There's also the awareness of the awareness : You can easily sneak into a conversation between a much older or more mature generation, to gain a different perspective on yourself. Where these conversations were relatively hidden in select circles in the past (the conversations concerning the nuances of socialization) they are commonplace now. Everyone is stuck in their own spiral of self analysis, and they are all aware that they are creating and maintaining this spiral of self analysis. In the past, we might not have been so hyper aware of the act of seeking positive affirmations and social acceptance, although humans as social animals might have instinctively/intuitively/naturally sought it out.

However, I am sure there is some philosopher 200 or 100 years ago that has noticed the same phenomena with a different generational shift of technological and emotive labeling.
I'm 19 years old, and I certainly post for approval. Though at this point, I don't really post anything but humorous anecdotes or one-liners. In the back of my mind I'm telling myself I'm one step closer to becoming a comedian.

But I also leave up posts that don't get as many likes or comments. If I'm posting something, it's because I've spent time working on the material. I think it's good regardless. But I do know acquaintances who will delete comments they don't like and have gone to post a comment on a post only to get a "post no longer exists" message. This is only from experience on Facebook, I don't really tweet that often anymore.
GroupMe was awesome when group SMS was shit but it's gotten much better and since everyone is one FB chat that's used more in my circle of friends. I have a few GroupMe conversations but a number have moved to FB Chat and the ones left are just a few holdouts.
I think that's more a quality of young people, not just "this generation."

I was probably like that once, even though I think I wasn't. I remember everyone around me being concerned with being "liked."

More importantly, Mean Girls and Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Wonder Years all seem that way.

Who know with kids, they make no sense in any generation. :)
No way. :)

I use these services in different contexts.

When I'm relaxing and looking at Instagram, the last thing I want is a business article from LinkedIn or a political diatribe from Facebook.

In fact my primary problem with Facebook is that it tries to be everything to everyone.
It's not really the same as exceptions in a typed language because it's forced to be delimited. Even in Javascript you'll have to do a little ceremony to "escape" the golden path driven by the monad, though you'll have many ways to take short-cuts and forget details.
9 that are used. Probably double that with old laptops and cell phones that haven't been recycled but would count as connected devices.

I personally wouldn't use the Google cloud because I've had the experience when interacting with Google APIs that API stability is not important to them. The Adwords api used to change every few months and old versions would break. This is not convenient for running a production system.
Heroin addiction is a difficult subject for me for personal reasons...in fact, I am currently on state probation for possession of it in 4 years ago.

I become addicted to numb the pain of my mother's passing and my 13 year marriage ending, although there is, of course, no excuse.

It started with prescribed Oxycontin and progressed from there. "Why buy overpriced synthetic molecules designed not to really get you high when you can get the natural ones cheaper and feel better?" I can still remember my engineering-mind thinking.

I have been off it now for about 3 years after getting clean, literally, on a cell floor in a county jail...cold turkey...the first time I ever successfully kicked it. After that, I checked myself into a South Florida inpatient rehab (called the Hanley Center...please, do yourself a favor and give them a call if you need help), and with the help of some amazing people, got better.

I'm convinced the only reason I finally kicked was simply because there was no other option; jails have pretty much no supply of heroin. To this day I thank the stars for that county jail...it saved my life.

The best way to summarize the experience was with a "joke" (it was no joke BTW) I came up with to try to explain how I felt near the end...

What's the best thing about heroin? After you do it, you don't feel anything.

What's the worse thing about heroin? After you do it, you don't feel anything.

I had the opportunity to take a field trip to a water treatment plant that was just outside my town. I think I was in 6th grade. While there, we saw these giant tanks, inside them was this disgusting water filled with literal shit, and on occasion, condoms. The problem with the condoms was that the system they used to filter the water wasn't capable of dealing with them. So they had a guy setup, in a small fishing boat, and a net. His job was to float around fishing them out. For this he was paid $100/hr (according to the guide I believe). It wasn't a particularly difficult job. But it was literally a shit job.

In the world of business, SAP consultants are the equivalent.

As a VP Eng who has made the call on Google vs AWS on a few occasions this has certainly affected my thinking. I see Amazon's web services being a big part of Amazon's revenue and I feel comfortable they are in it for the long haul, whereas I see that Google doesn't even call out its cloud service revenue[1] which suggests it isn't notable. And services with that sort of profile from Google end up dead because Google just doesn't seem able to commit to long term strategic visions.

Because the space is needed. The speed at which a market moves is not a measure of its size nor its supply/demand balance.

Commercial real estate vacancy rate in Manhattan right now is quite low compared to historical trends - don't let the stories of megatall commercial projects fool you. Cost per square foot has been rising steadily throughout Manhattan and is now actually quite high.

New buildings always take a lot of time to fully lease out due to structural inefficiencies and the more constricted customer base - the Empire State Building wasn't profitable for decades after it opened. This doesn't mean that the office space isn't needed.

There are a lot fewer commercial renters, but they occupy a lot more space for a lot more time. Your typical New Yorker isn't, for example, renting a 30,000 square foot space on a 10-year lease.

That's typical teenager behaviour. To the point that it's stereotipical.
Well, with the right kind of advocacy, couldn't the community push for httpbis and push back on http/2 ? True Google control it's servers and Chrome but not Firefox and the rest of the world. Not everybody is going to drink the KoolAid.

That would be pushing HTTP/2 to irrelevancy the same way HTML5 (for good or for worse) pushed back on XHTML. Sad way to go but if need be ...

That's actually a very good question, thank you for asking it.

Because I think that we can do much better than the pile of IT-shit we have produced until now.

I am actively trying to do that, through my own code, through the articles that I write and through the discussions I engage in.

Not everybody has the luxury of doing that -- the kids have to be fed and the mortgage has to be paid and a job is a job -- but those of us who can, have an obligation to try to make the world a better place, by raising quality if IT.

You can be sure Facebook will acquire any threatening social networks.
I'll hazard a guess that the prospective employer (if looking at other potentials in the same demographic) will need to turn a blind eye if they want to hire anyone at all. They'll all have something stupid on there. I'm curious to see what happens when my generation starts running for office.

That you are calling programmer salaries "lower middle class" makes me think you have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, I'm almost 40, and I similarly feel the inherent disappointment when one of my posts is not liked by my peers. Not achieving a certain number of likes feels like social disapproval, or maybe misunderstanding.

Of course, I grew up with punk rock music, so when that happens, I just say F them and move on with my next un-liked post. (Then, the game is to see how many old friends I can repel)
That doesn't make any sense at all. The fact that you can't access it doesn't mean you're not aiding in the distribution of it. If someone puts a ham sandwich in a locked box to which you do not have the key, and you bring the box to someone else who has the key, does that mean you didn't deliver the ham sandwich? I'm not saying I agree with the parent comment, but your reasoning is bizarre.

I'm feeling like we read different articles. I never once got that concept that he was somehow protecting his privacy. He just stated that his perceptions were that some sites were more private than others. I get the feeling that his friends are still posting compromising content online, they just don't think they're be accountable for it.
Not too sure about that. All of my friends (I'm 23) have FB and while we all more or less hate it we wouldn't dream of not being on FB. It's the best way to connect with someone you meet (through friends, at a bar, etc) and you don't have to ask for a number. Just friend request, chat a little bit and if it works out swap numbers and move to SMS.

Like your parent said I see FB as "essential social plumbing", not the most glamorous or best but a necessity and way to connect to people before you go "off FB" to another app or SMS to chat/interact. The only reason I "post" to FB is b/c my Twitter posts to FB. I rarely use Twitter except from trying to get companies attention after having them ignore support requests or not having any other support at all. Multiple times I've used a websites/app's built in ticketing system only to get no response. A pissed tweet a couple days later and I've got a response within the hour... The squeaky wheel...
I imagine seccomp and ptrace have pretty similar performance, since they both wake the 'host' using a signal, and stay out of the way until their trigger is met. As for UML stability, Debian have been providing packages of it for years, I can't remember the last time I built it directly.
>Maybe you're arguing that it would be better to have an insecure but encrypted mode in all browsers?

Pretty sure this is what we're doing today with smtps. We just wrap smtp in tls and call it a day. Its dangerous and allows for mitm attacks. I think there was a paper recently about how this is already being abused.

I just dont see where people who believe in self-signed certs as a solution to all our encryption woes are coming from. Its historically and technically has shown itself to be a security nightmare for most use cases. I think people like this are more political than practical and think they can do non-trivial things without regulation, authorities, etc. Sorry, but that's just not how this world works.
