Having read many of these reports over the years, this one seems more manifesto than security report. It is full of carefully controlled language meant to appease a very specific audience: politicians and members of various agencies.

A huge amount of space is dedicated to tenuous ties between physical military activities and espionage on the assumption that all chinese agencies are coordinating with each other, that the Chinese are just better at conspiracy than any US operation. No actual intelligence officer would ever describe China in that way. It's a patchwork of poorly-connected operations all trying to put on a good show for the bosses, much the same as US intelligence agencies.

Certain key phrases suggest political motive. As example, the phrase "China’s ... military grade signals intelligence Unit" caught my ear. "Military grade" doesn't mean much in infosec. It does mean something to lifelong service members who labour under the assumption that military structures just do things better than civilian organizations. In some fields "military grade" is actually a bad thing, a reference to products built to conform to rarely-updated procurement standards. It's like still selling floppy disks because the computer on the stealth bombers haven't been updated in 20 years. The phrase appears right at the start of the takeaways section, right where most senior officials will probably start reading.

The drilling down upon a few people, to the point of tracking a man's movements and finding the bike he offered for sale, certainly plays into current US national security desires. Targeted killings based on poor intel is a big chip on the military shoulder these days. They aren't happy about it. So peppering a document with a few grains of seemingly accurate and specific intel about individuals is a good trick to win people over. The excessive reliance on google maps is just eyecandy. This gives the false impression of validity, a false suggestion that the rest of the report is based on equally detailed and reliable intel. if this were such intel, it wouldn't be released publicly.

The Future of the Web Platform: Does It Have One?
I've been using Contributor for the last month or so:

1) One needn't turn on all third-party cookies to make it work. Enabling a subset of

[*.]doubleclick.com, [*.]doubleclick.net, and [*.]google.com

is sufficient.

2) Contributor is the best existing solution to the third-party micropayment problem I've yet encountered. Direct contributions to sites are surely preferable, but not yet practical. Contributor would appear to have the following structural shortcomings:

- It only applies to Google's ad network. Mass adoption of Contributor would have the knock-on effect of strengthening Google's advertising position. Whether Google will remain a benevolent ad-network for life is uncertain.

- It installs a third party as a middleman, when only agreed-upon social and networking protocols are truly requisite. If Contributor were to take off, we run the risk of paying rent to Google for web-view transactions, just as we do with credit-card firms for financial transactions today.

That said, Contributor is a practical step forward in allowing us to underwrite sites we like and to raise the minimum bid that advertisers must pay to get our attention.

Thanks, Contributor team, for making this possible.
Richard Stallman's lawyer isn't close enough for you? :-)
It can also be seen as acting like the mob. "It'd be a shame if your nice clean web page suddenly got ruined with ads. You know, we can keep that from happening for a price." No thanks. I'll continue to block ads and not be tracked and have my internet load faster.
True, I was not addressing the main point of what you said, and quibbling about your wording on a side point.

So before C++ assignment and copy operator overloading, you'd have a C struct, and assignment was a bitwise copy. If the original is destroyed after that, you're safe. If it's not, and the struct contains a pointer to allocated memory, you're going to have trouble unless you're very careful about who owns the memory.

But even then, you had situations where you wanted to truly make a (deep) copy. That took a call to a function that knew the structure, and which parts to deep copy. So the need to do that was still there.

So if we move to affine types or move semantics or whatever, the need for deep copy doesn't go away. If you don't have an overloaded assignment operator or copy operator, you're going to have a function of a different name that does the exact same operations. So the need for both operations doesn't go away. But the move/affine approach does make the double-free problem go away (as does the current C++ overloaded copy approach).

> language design is hard

Yeah. Somebody wants every possible action to be doable, and different people want different actions to be easy or the default. Nobody's going to be completely happy.

How is this not April?

The problem with this approach is this -- you're still bidding on the ad spot. While this is cool, here are ignored issues:

1. It removes Google ads, which are arguably the least annoying ads.

2. Since it is still ad-spot based revenues, it gives a publisher no real business model switch to stop using ads in the long run. It is pretty agnostic that way, publisher does not care who bid on the ad spot.

3. No way for publisher to go ad-free.

4. Still got all the nasty ad networks, other benefits of ad-blocking like tracking, speed are not gained.

I think this is cool to remove Google's ads, but I would yearn the day where there is a Spotify-like way of opting out of ads altogether for millions of websites. I mean this from publisher side of things. Someone should give them an option to get paid for hits without putting up ads.

But then again, I don't mind ads that much.
There is no better way to reform a man than to give him a purpose. Firefighting and other volunteer services are definitely a good way to go.

Fascinating results, I would only caution people before taking this article's results to apply to "all" women. IME, approximately 10% of women desire employment success way more than the others.
And it actually is the equivalent of saving that money! If you want quality journalism, or even just an ops budget for the hosting site for your cat pictures, someone needs to pay at some point. There's a very close analogy to print publications: if magazines and newspapers didn't have ads, the newsstand price would be significantly higher due to the loss of impressions. Now, imagine if your Sunday newspaper had a magical printing press that could print, on-demand, a customized version for you without ads. If everyone switched to that option, they'd lose all their ad revenue, so they'd need to raise the newsstand price accordingly!

> What the parent is saying is that had they implemented a scheme like IPv6 at the time, it would have been problematic for hardware reasons, so it wouldn't have made sense. He's right.

There is some spectacular failure of communication here.

What I am definitely not saying: they should have implemented IPv6 in 1978!

What you are apparently somehow reading: they should have implemented IPv6 in 1978!

Here's what I am saying: Some decisions made in 1978 have, with the perspective of time, had unfortunate, unforeseeable consequences.

This doesn't mean that IPv4 should have had a bloody 128 bit address space in 1978. Rather, it means that, with the perspective of time, we can see that some decisions made have really had dire consequences, and that what would have been counter-intuitive or less than optimal decisions at the time would have worked out better in the long run.

For instance, given the hardware limitations of the time, it would have worked out better in the long run if IPv4 had had a bit smaller address space. At 2^24, it would have lasted well into the early/mid-90s but needed to be replaced right around the huge growth spike, before anything got too entrenched, when there was ample opportunity to roll out a different addressing scheme.

2^32 has left us in an uncomfortable spot where it was big enough to have got us quite far and for us to have become incredibly dependent on it, but that means we also have really, really entrenched a lot of legacy hardware in everyone's homes and offices, and it's not big enough to allow have the world to not live behind carrier-grade NAT.

Yes every site should be sending a bitcoin receiving address in the headers, or embedded in the HTML for when a single page has two areas of content from different providers.

Payout could be based on a number of factors, including existing ads on the page (downvote), number of visits (upvote), seconds of streaming video watched (upvote), etc.

Which is interesting because of how many people mention that adds really only contribute a small fraction of that. From what I can find $1 per 1000 impressions seems to be about average for ad revenue.

That means that if I go to 1000 websites in a month I'd expect to pay about $1. I'd be interested to see how many impressions I make per month and find out how much money I actually generate for these websites.

I'd also be interested in a focused ad session to reduce the cost of my browsing. I.E. you show me products and I actually click on them to check them out, and you add money to my pool for browsing. It would have to be an opt-in scenario, but that would be an alternative to paying and seeing ads while you browse.
This is absolutely true and I agree, I think it'd be a great approach to the issue at hand. Of course someone below bought up the issue of someone just using a soldering iron to alter the physical port to be unusable. Or, what if, even, I just dropped my phone enough? Now there's a warrant for me, even if I'm not guilty, would I face criminal charges for obstructing an investigation even though it could have been an accidental mishap?

If you deliberately burn papers relevant to an investigation that's one thing, what if your papers get caught in the rain? has anyone been in trouble for that? I'm not as educated on the subject as I could be, I most certainly admit.

"Contributor is not available in your country."

> I think the point is that even with the ability to see the future, they would have still made the same choice, given technical limitations of the time. So there's nothing to regret

I disagree. We can regret the way something worked out even if we had no other choice to make. That's a pretty normal human thing to do.

But we could also regret that, eg) the technical limitations didn't drive them to choose an even smaller address space, one that would have lasted just long enough to get us to a point where we could move to maybe a 2^64 space in the 90s, instead of a space just big enough to become incredible hard to move out of, but not big enough that half the world isn't now living behind carrier grade NAT.
"Make 25% of your ads go away" feels a whole lot like the "cable TV will have less ads" promise of old. We all know how that turned out.

The outcome of this is going to be "publishers run extra ads, you pay to make the extra ads go away".

I found this video to be an incredibly useful explanation of the Fourier Transform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjmwwDHT98c
But they're probably wrong, too. Insurers have a lot of money riding on the actuarial tables, but they're still just a wisdom-of-crowds best guess. No one will know what the true life expectancy was of everyone born this year until the last of them dies; similarly, no one will know the true remaining life expectancy of everyone who is currently 50 years old until the last of them dies. I agree that actuaries are taking into consideration a lot more data and experience than any HN armchair futurist, but that doesn't mean they're going to be right. Until the 1970s, most of the increase in life expectancy at birth was due to reductions in child mortality, which from an actuarial standpoint is not very interesting because it's rare for infants to have life insurance policies. The life expectancy of a 40-year-old didn't change much from 1850 until then (source: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005140.html). In essence, nearly everyone now makes it to 40, and what's changed greatly since is what happens after that. The widespread concern is that it's not well understood whether that trend will continue, accelerate rapidly (and if so, whether the mean will increase, skew will increase, or both), or even reverse. Actuaries are professionals paid to make good guesses; they do it well, but they are not oracles.
Very insightful. Thanks for sharing.

Beer is a good tool to try to understand quantum mechanics, but there's stronger stuff that might be more helpful.

That said, you're articulating a version of what's called a 'hidden variable' view of QM, which is actually explicitly what Bell's inequality is meant to disprove. I'm going to write a long post at root to try to explain this more, because I think it's really important to talk in particulars when discussing QM... hopefully it helps.
So can this be used as an argument against the idea that women hold fewer positions of power (and in context of HN, fewer tech positions) not because of institutional/societal sexism, but because they just don't desire them?

I don't think many of the there-needs-to-be-more-diversity crowd disagree with that. Their position is more nuanced than that, and of course, to be fair, the we-can't-make-things-have-diversity crowd is unfairly pigeonholed as being shut-up-women.

But in my reading of the paper's conclusion, women have less desire for promotions and power, but it's because they see those things as causing them strife. The we-need-more-diversity crowd believes that having more women in power is one way of alleviating a positive feedback loop.

To put it another way, here's another study that could be done: Women view walking alone at night equally attainable, but less desirable.

On the other hand, this behavior is quite nice if you want to quickly build something around an existing database and you don't really want to spend time reenumerating the entire schema in code before being able to leverage the ORM.
I mean that's all fine and dandy but there's a couple problems.

1. The public key of the judge will be compromised. Not might, not won't. It will. End of story. This opens my device to a bunch of non-authorized individuals exfiltrating data without my knowledge. This is completely unreasonable at every level. To draw a parallel, this would like all locks in your house having a "police" keying.

2. Computers are not papers. Papers is a well defined term.

3. These ports would be taken advantage of by three-letter agencies without your knowledge and without a warrant.

The only thing your approach allows is that the police officer won't snag your laptop so the office gets a new one. But really, that won't stop them from stealing your stuff so not even that works.

The police cant even be trusted to not shoot an innocent person. What makes you think they can be trusted with a golden key? This approach completely undermines the entire reason we have encryption and AIDS the police in parallel construction. Not the other way around.

Is the $15/mo use it or lose it, or just a maximum amount? IE, do all your monthly subscriptions add up to $15?

If I'm paying the same as the bidding cost for advertisers, then I'm all in, this is super sweet. If I'm paying some vague hand-wavy fee that reduces my ads, but doesn't correspond 1-1 to what advertisers are paying then forget it.

You really have to remove the incentive to cheat from the software group before the tests happen.

A defeat device does not get installed accidentally. It's not like a mutation propagating through evolution of living things. Someone decided to put it there, and someone got paid to do it. There was an additional requirement added, one that had no official test coverage. It was to increase fuel economy and produce more pollution when no one was paying attention to the emissions.

As far as the developers were concerned, they did everything right. They built the code their employers asked them to build. It passed the official tests. This was a triumph; I'm making a note here: "huge success!"

The developers worked for the automakers, not the testers or the public. They did what VW wanted, which was to game the system to make more money. You're not ever going to do more than start an arms race as long as the developer is taking orders (and getting hired or fired) by the guy who just wants to sell more cars.

I saw a few that expanded to take over the screen if you hover over them for like 5 seconds but they gave you a warning. I haven't seen autoplay though. Are you certain they were adsense? Sometimes ads can appear to be adsense because they are served via DoubleClick For Publishers ( https://www.doubleclickbygoogle.com/solutions/revenue-manage... ). The site controls the approval of those ads. Google won't approve an as that violates the policies unless it somehow slips by.

Also, women desire casual sex as much as men do (and men don't desire it as much as mass media would have you believe), but find the sex mediocre or unsatisfying, and are wary of the dangers and conflict arising from being promiscuous.

It should be no surprise to anyone that women have internalized the idea that attaining power, independence, or acting on their personal desires leads to conflict. It used to be the fucking law that it would lead to conflict!
