Honestly, as someone who worked for AAA at the roadside, the Corolla is an admirable car in its own respects. Ive seen late 90s models absolutely abused and make it to the 150k mile mark.

...

With that being said, if you try to tow a boat with a corolla, you’re practically sentencing the poor thing to transmission trouble and differential difficulties. I’d say that you’d be lucky to get a boat from driveway to launch ramp 3 separate trips before the transmission fails. All of that is assuming you can find someone to frame weld a tow hitch for a boat to the corolla.

>it's not eco-sexy like a 100MPG Prius

Oh HN.

That sounds impressive. Do you have a resource for those numbers?

Which fs are you using nextcloud with? Is it as seamless as ext4 with Dropbox?

From experience, I’d describe it as an “emotional whirlwind”. The person suffering has a lasting, chaotic impact on the household. Similar to a whirlwind the very winds that start it can’t really be seen or predicted with ease.

This is encouraging to hear. I’m about 4 months out for a move to the hill country just west of Austin. Same situation, working remotely, homeschooling. Any advice on what to look out for? I’d still be grid connected, so I wouldn’t be relying on a femto or anything like that.

For those wondering about the Pilgrims Progress reference, this is probably what OP intends:

" HELP. Then said he, Give me thy hand: so he gave him his hand, and he drew him out, and set him upon sound ground, and bid him go on his way. [Ps. 40:2]

{33} Then I stepped to him that plucked him out, and said, Sir, wherefore, since over this place is the way from the City of Destruction to yonder gate, is it that this plat is not mended, that poor travellers might go thither with more security? And he said unto me, This miry slough is such a place as cannot be mended; it is the descent whither the scum and filth that attends conviction for sin doth continually run, and therefore it is called the Slough of Despond; for still, as the sinner is awakened about his lost condition, there ariseth in his soul many fears, and doubts, and discouraging apprehensions, which all of them get together, and settle in this place. And this is the reason of the badness of this ground."

Free software messiah? OP is laying it on a bit thick with that one.

short answer; it depends, but in general we are looking for holes in EM shielding to turn the RVs into paperweights.

As a former nuke maintainer, the way I think they would do it would be to launch a titan with a full MIRV payload of W53s or their predecessors out into an area for HAD (high altitude detonation). The understanding is that we were relying on the emp from nuclear blasts to make things drop from the sky. This is also a time when insensitive high exposives were not a thing and simple shock would begin a detonation for most weapons. The emp overloading electronics in either the launch vehicle (depending on altitude) or the reentry vehicle could cause the weapon to detonate (noncriticality, just a simple detonation). Aditionally consider that passing through the EM contaminated zone would likely render the same effects to the launch vehicle. The RV might not even separate and instead just continue into orbit. Lastly, the RV angle and positioning done by the RS (reentry system) is highly dependent on both explosives and electronics. Lots of room for EM to muck with that and cause a poor reentry angle or even an outright spin fault which would lead to detonation on reentry. Regardless, most RVs will not critically detonate unless all flight conditions are met. This means launch, RS positioning, proper spin, etc.

Side note : In the service I’ve heard rumors of the Russians having the same doctrine when under attack and defending key government areas, but at lower altitudes and being initiated with Tuplovs and gravity weapons (non rv, aircraft dropped). This inherently implies fratricidal consequences for pilots and civilians.

Out of curiosity, is it a community inspired by ‘The Benedict Option’?

Blaming it on community planning might be pointing to the symptom rather than the problem. I’d hazard that the real problem is intolerance born from individualism. In the American context we have a society such that people both clutch and invent their own rights while insisting that all others respect and maintaining them. This would be fine if tolerance actually existed and the relationship were bidirectional. The relationship has proven to be unidirectional in a lot of cases which has led to the polarity that we are experiencing. Abstracting further, I’d say that these situations could largely be reduced to groups of people misunderstanding the significance of difference between tolerance and affirmation.

Last words: yes it is simplistic and reductionist to boil it down like this. I’m comfortable with staging the problem like this because we aren’t considering an ultra specific case here that requires precision.

Yelp is one of those YMMV apps. Absolutely terrible for smaller cities like Albuquerque, NM.

I miss the days when their competitor, Urbanspoon, was really pushing the envelope on a great customer experience and review variety.

This sounds interesting, would you mind going into detail about this? Maybe a quick list?

>Won't their checks be for fair market value of their expropriate property?

As someone who's been on the short end of eminent domain for a freeway offramp in north LA, nope. The city tends to hire their own appraisers with their own way of looking at things. Considering that most eminent domain cases run through single family housing without existing homebuilder contracts with the city (at this point, we're talking homes before 1980), there are a litany of ways in which a city appraiser can devalue the house. Yes, of course you can hire an appraiser go to bat for you.

The short and sweet of it is that the city can use things like "you never applied for a permit to build this addition" or "your re-roofing was never replaced with high wind resistant (no joke) tar." At this point, we're talking multiple visits from an appraiser (assuming you can find one willing to deal with city bureaucracy), and lawyer fees to handle the entire case.

That doesn't even begin to address the emotional quagmire of the fact that they knocked on _your_ door. You'll probably need to need to talk to a counselor for that one.

Dude that’s eminent domain _prima facie_.

None of what the author is writing about concerning the inability to revoke stateless tokens is particularly novel. We have the same problem with SSL/TLS PKI. Once a cert is revoked, there is no reliable way to ensure that its revocation is enforced among all clients. The world has proved to be content with accepting this risk.

Protip: be sure to read what I said before you use the b-word in your responses.

Additionally, the sarcastic flowchart that is included in part 2 of his post makes some pretty open-ended assumptions. "Just take down the blacklist server" is my favorite.

edit: clarification.

It's difficult to say that @coralineada started the wave . . ._but_ she certainly was an influencing factor in the most recent malignancy. To @folknor and others of like mind, take heart. People are noticing the trend as well. Just take a look at sqlite's coc (https://sqlite.org/codeofconduct.html). The point here, I believe, is that people are becoming aware of the absurdity of the constraints that are being placed on certain FOSS communities. What @coralineada 'started' is certainly having unintended consequences as it would relate to her.

To be honest, I'm surprised her tweet hasn't been deleted and that she hasn't been ousted by the community as being a SJW troll.

YEMV, but I am a consultant. Putting a bow on an engagement report is really not comparable to seeing your building occupied or watching your plane take off.

As someone who has worked both, I’d encourage you to reconsider what you’re really seeking in an office job. I did aircraft maintenance in the Air Force, paperwork and management in the AF, got out and hopped around with AAA as a roadside assistance tech, and am finally at a remote job doing pentesting. I’ve been in then out then back in again. Let me tell you, I can’t wait to turn wrenches again. If you can tolerate the pay cut and live a simpler life, I’d hazard to say that nothing beats the satisfaction that a hands on job provides.

On the whole, id say that there is something to be said about how the tech revolution is just an iteration of the industrial revolution. People are more removed from the art of what they do. They are deprived of the fruit of their labor and instead forced to work a piece wise process instead of seeing something done start to finish. There’s no tangible result to all the toil.

Non derogatory caveat: some are content to say that the SDLC is an answer. I reject that notion, and realize that I’m the shrinking minority.

You’re right that passwords aren’t BFd often and that phishing is by far the easiest way.

Regarding other methods: passwords are however, guessed, or stolen. If a hacker can grab the app databases store of passwords, they can preform offline cracking and quickly start getting into accounts that have matching hashes to commonly used passwords. All it takes is a few accounts and you can usually pivot around from there to get some more privileged access.

The downvotes on a comment like this reminds me of my days in university... downvotes are for unhelpful or incorrect content, not silencing people you don’t agree with.

Onerous? If you think 6-20 lines of code is onerous, you really should reconsider your career choice.

Polygraphs can produce errors that may be used as a wrongful justification for an employer to dismiss your application.

...on the other hand

A fizz buzz application that produces errors _should_ be used as a justification for a potential employer to dismiss you entirely.

The developers of gone home have another game, Tacoma, that has the same walking simulator style. Excellent feel as well.

I feel like I’ve been warned about this point in time since I was in school:

“This is where relativist, postmodernism leads.”

I really enjoyed it as well. I’ve never heard of Laphams Quarterly. If the rest of the publication writes to this standard, I think I’d find myself a frequent reader.

I'd argue against asking questions that have a clearly negative predicted response. Whenever a question is clearly skewed in one direction, the subject has a tendency to become suspicious and will often try to give the unintended answer. This is why tests like the MMPI use validity indicators and repeat questions.

Ryan Mitchell did an excellent talk at DEFCON23 about defeating bot checks and other common barriers that web scrapers face. Excellent watch for anyone interested in scraping: https://youtu.be/PADKIdSPOsc

Shameless plug: her O’Reilly book and associated github work “Web Scraping with Python” is an excellent read.

Your sample population sounds skewed ;). There are _many_ intersections of statistics in computer science. Off the top of my head: data analytics processing, anything in the realm of big data, computational theory, security timing attacks, industrial computation in the natural sciences and so on.
