yRetsyMon Indico – Open source tool for event organization, archival and collaboration

Would love to know if anyone is actively using this, especially with some kind of G Suite integration?

Interesting that it's Debian Linux support only for the peripherals. I'd be interested to see if that support grows to other os's, especially if it's a restriction to adoption.

I'm not in the space per-say but what are the predominant OS choices for ML/AI Devs?

I tried to find myself, but there is a bit more detail on the help site which isn't very well linked to: http://help.micro.blog

yRetsyMon News Site to Investigate Big Tech, Helped by Craigslist Founder

I would love for someone to take an investigative look at how the stock market is not working for society in many ways. I can't help but feel that as the pressure of being a listed stock weighs on listed companies, their value sets change and not in ways beneficial to "greater" society.

yRetsyMon GitHub will now tell you if your password has been pwned

I'm continually impressed at the positive impact Troy has had, it's a real dent in the universe.

yRetsyMon Timehop Security Incident, July 4th, 2018

Is someone compiling a list of these? I'd love a spot to review everything, especially summarizing key "trends" and common attack vectors.

yRetsyMon Protecting Google Cloud customers without impacting performance

I've been impressed with how long it took for this information to be "leaked"/"declassified"/released given the sheer number of people who knew.

The fact that hundreds maybe thousands of people knew and worked on this ahead of the press reports/rumors and subsequent information release speaks to how seriously everyone involved took this.

yRetsyMon Archiving repositories

Compared to bitbucket, definitely not. I've become increasingly frustrated by the lack of pace of development and feature improvements on bitbucket.

yRetsyMon ACME v2 API Endpoint Coming January 2018

The spec draft still explicitly denies them:

> Wildcard domain names (with "*" as the first label) MUST NOT be included in authorization objects.

yRetsyMon ACME v2 API Endpoint Coming January 2018

The blog post was a little vague on what the changes are to the standard.

Found the repo were development is being managed: https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/acme

yRetsyMon Chrome browser for businesses

Except Google and the Chrome team have forked WebKit as Blink, and are running quite a different development path.

There's now Blink, WebKit, Gecko, Trident in mainstream and a few others lurking.

yRetsyMon Modern Anti-Spam and E2E Crypto (2014)

Fascinating insight into one of the biggest email operations. I'd be very interested to hear how the other companies in this space differ or are similar.

Question: Is there a curve where pushing this processing back to the phone will become possible? The most powerful counterpoint at the moment is battery life, but I do see that improving to a plausible point where this sort of continual processing is feasible?

yRetsyMon iPhone 7

Unfortunately now we're going to wear out the battery. I don't know which is better.

yRetsyMon Pirates Plunder 4K Hateful Eight, but Did They Crack DCP?

> Commenting on the release, Sebastian Haselbeck of Tarantino fansite Tarantino.info says that while he’s not a fan of piracy, he believes that a failure to serve the market is the real problem.

> “I strongly condemn piracy and find it generally damaging, but it is a symptom, not the source, of market failure,” he told TF.

That's it right there. Music piracy took a long time to sort out because it was inaccessible. Now through Spotify/Apple Music/Youtube I struggle to find anyone who pirates music in my peers (it was prolific). It's not perfect yet and I think there's still some change to come but it's certainly ahead of the film industry.

yRetsyMon Bootstrap 4 Alpha 4 Released

They mention in the original alpha release article this was a mistake. They plan on supporting and bug fixing for the foreseeable future with bootstrap3

yRetsyMon Apple’s announcement on artificial intelligence is a big shift for the company

If it's closed source and you have little-to-no control over the software, how much of a difference does it make?

Interestingly the results of this still end up on iCloud by the looks, and it back fills from iCloud (will that add big battery drain for first install of iOS 10?)

yRetsyMon Apple’s approach to privacy

Not entirely, though Google and subsequently Microsoft, Apple et all have upgraded inter-datacentre connectivity to be encrypted - reducing this attack vector.

yRetsyMon G is for Google

I find it also interesting the non - Google companies:

Businesses such as Calico, Nest, and Fiber, as well as its investing arms, such as Google Ventures and Google Capital, and incubator projects, such as Google X, will be managed separately from the Google business.

Fiber is the most notable to me - seems they see this as more than an experiment and are looking to expand.

YouTube not separating is an interesting one to me, I expected that to be separate.

yRetsyMon Firefox makes click-to-activate Flash the default

Yes, but Flash alone doubles the attack vector of a browser - that's nothing to be sneezed at. I think it's particularly poignant when you look at the high severity metric.

yRetsyMon Hello World: Windows 10 Available on July 29

You can get a digital download of the Technical Preview now - I'd do that. They've announced that Windows 10 will be free to all Technical Preview participants. That way you can upgrade to the latest version and away you go.

yRetsyMon Purple – Heroku UI Kit

"Purple should never be used outside of officially endorsed Heroku products or without explicit permission."

I wonder how others feel about this, I really enjoy breaking apart existing websites and having a guide like this is certainly something I can use for inspiration in any of my projects - but I also wonder about the above clause and any implications it may have on copycat behaviour.

yRetsyMon 2015 Gates Annual Letter

A little off topic but would love to know more about the platform/tech behind his site. My casual observations sees: Azure, New Relic, FB/Twitter integrations. Perhaps some scss/sass? Ruby or .Net?

yRetsyMon Introducing Canvas – a new way to build emails

After having a play with the product I am very impressed. Some very smooth UX touches and in Chrome on Windows everything runs very smoothly. Simple but very effective. Well done to the team at Campaign Monitor!
