That's not a tax, that's the expense ratio, which is basically describing fees captured by the fund manager. Funds accessible to Dutch investors involve similar ERs. It's not an alternative.
It can be thought of the same way, but not from the perspective that's under discussion. As such it doesn't really add anything except a new perspective. Why are you introducing it, what does it add?
Calling the expense ratio a tax is like calling the labor cost of your car repair a tax. The expense ratio is what the fund manager is charging to cover their labor and expenses. It's not a tax on the transaction going to the government.
OP here.
A few of you have asked why we made these problems free. The answer is twofold, simple, and maybe even a bit underwhelming:
1) We want people to read the book (To wit, we've also made 9 chapters of the book free: http://bctci.co/free-chapters)
2) We want people to use interviewing.io
In my career, I've written a lot of stuff about hiring, and I've shared a lot of interview-related materials (e.g., full length interview replays). I hate paywalls for content, and you probably do too... and I have never regretted making it free. In my experience, putting good stuff out there is the best way to market to an eng audience.
I use mobius sync and I'd say the app itself is fine, you just have to open it whenever you want things to sync. That's one of the things I miss from Android. Also you can't sync your camera folder
Mobius Sync works really well, the only caveat is that it's not completely free (you're limited in the sync size unless you pay $5, but that's a one-time thing), and that while it can background sync, it's not continuous, and you'll want to open the app if you need to make sure something's synced.
Nope. I have a cloud Syncthing box that is accessible over SSH, and I use ShellFish to read/write my synced folders. It works okay, especially for lazily sending stuff from my phone to my laptop.
Season 2 of The Wire is the single greatest work of television I've ever seen. It's as rich as a novel, as tragic as something out of Shakespeare. Seriously. If anyone hasn't seen The Wire, do yourself a favor and give it a watch.
It's always wild that Season 2 seems to be polarizing, it is very different but it's so compelling. Tragedy is really probably the most complete way to describe it.
But yeah the short scenes of "that's my f*ing town" and the "they used to make steel there, no?". I know the first one takes place right next to the bridge because they say they are at Fort Armistead. I assume the latter is in much the same place since I thought they are looking across the river at Sparrow's Point.
Also relevant to season 2. The US seriously lacks dredging capacity, because we only allow US built dredges to operate on our ports. Only 1-3 of the top 50 highest capacity dredges in the world qualify. Bloomberg Odd Lots has a great episode about this.
+1 I recently watched the whole series again after I subscribed to HBOMax. I hadn't watched it since 2008, when I watched in SD using DVDs from my original Netflix subscription.
Aside from the new story details I caught and the general great acting, I was struck by how the series captured a the technology transition going on at the time. Payphones and typewriters shift to classic feature phones and PCs with CRTs. Then camera phones enter the picture.
DALI (IMO: 9697428) is a Container Ship and is sailing under the flag of Singapore. Her length overall (LOA) is 299.92 meters and her width is 48.2 meters [1].
Based on the track, it appears the ship changed course slightly and slowed as it approached the bridge [2].
That's clear in the livestream video too. It's like it was fairly on track then changed to head straight for the pylon. A lot of smoke starts coming out of the funnel at the same time as the course change, and the ship's lights go out before impact.
Thanks for the link to the track. That's the first thing that I've seen that showed that I guess it's regular for these ships to pass under the center of this bridge. Is that correct?
If so, what I'm still not understanding is why ships are allowed to make that passage all on their own without any backup like a tugboat and why the bridge doesn't have secondary protection of its pillars. Because with a track like that and lack of either of those things, a catastrophic collision seems inevitable.
Does anyone know why the ship would make a sudden hard right during a sequence of power failures?
No, they clearly have access to the private key, otherwise they couldn’t copy it onto the path where the password is normally stored.
Also, they don’t need any password to encrypt the file, pass uses gpg encryption so they can just use the public key which will be sitting somewhere nearby.
You are misunderstanding the attack. The attacks requirement is: replace two encrypted files (e.g. by gaining access to someone's dropbox that contains the synced db), wait for them to leak "secretA" on "siteB" because `pass` doesn't securely bind secret and sites together.
The attack is very realistic and high impact (but hard to perform).
Is pass able to decrypt ssh key files, or trick the user into decrypting them?
One of the files in the example is not a pass encrypted file but an ssh private key ("id_ed25519"). ssh private keys are either unencrypted or encrypted with a passphrase (but not via GPG in any case, and GPG of course is what pass uses).
The only way the outlined attack would be better than just uploading via curl is if pass could somehow enable the attacker to get a decrypted ssh private key. But I can't imagine why pass would be capable of doing that.
