We've been using the term "endpoint hostile" to describe how networks are typically deployed, especially with IPv4.

"Endpoint hostile" networks are designed with a single use case in mind: accessing remote servers, usually via HTTP/HTTPS. Other use cases are prohibited or broken.

Here are some of the characteristics that would label a network as endpoint hostile:

- "Device isolation," which prohibits local LAN device communication. This is common on some WiFi networks. It's forgivable on a public WiFi but not elsewhere.

- Symmetric NAT

- Multiple levels of nested NAT e.g. consumer routers plugged into consumer routers. It's important to note that this makes everything flaky due to weird interactions and timeout behaviors. In our experience it's disturbingly common. We talked to one person whose company had at least five levels of this, requiring things like "ServerAliveInterval 10" in ssh_config.

- Lack of support for NAT hairpinning. (NAT can't NAT-traverse with itself.)

- Short NAT/firewall stateful connection timeout (120s is the RFC recommendation, but 30-60s is common and we've seen 15.)

- IPv6 absent (assuming it's available upstream) or deployed in a silly way (e.g. IPv6 NAT).

- Lack of support for local multicast or broadcast

- Aggressive edge firewall rules that prohibit UDP, non-standard TCP ports, etc. or that DPI traffic and attempt to block anything other than HTTP, SSH, and SSL.

- Badly implemented NAT ALGs for things like FTP and SIP that break other traffic.

- Lack of uPnP or NAT-PMP support.

- Mandatory proxy configuration.

- Middle boxes that modify traffic in general. This includes things that bork TCP in a misguided attempt to "optimize" it, things that inject HTTP headers (or worse JavaScript), things that modify DNS to strip A/AAAA records for "private" IPs or strip TXT records, etc.

Some of this stuff is just stupidity or brokenness, but much of it is implemented for "security" reasons.

I personally consider reliance on network edge controls for security to be a borderline-obsolete cargo cult practice, since the vast majority of today's vulnerabilities and attack vectors are unaffected by it and involve things like cloud services, e-mail, web, app updates, etc. I've worked in netsec/infosec and have seen a number of intrusions, and so far I have yet to see one in the past 10 years that was mitigated in any way by the presence of a firewall. Yet a generation of IT people thinks "firewall equals security" and I'm increasingly thinking this generation will have to just pass along.

This reminds me of that line in World of Tomorrow

"The robots are solar-powered, and must always be kept on the light side of the moon’s surface. To motivate them to constantly move within the drifting sunlight, I programmed them to fear death, and what lies on the dark side of the moon."
It's probably to keep him on top of washing the shirts. More clothes = more temptation to just wear something else and let the laundry pile up.
I wouldn't have guess such small amounts of radiation in the atmosphere would interfere with carbon dating, but I know literally nothing about how it works. Seems like solar radiation and such would be a bigger contributor?
I agree with VDMA, the proposal is too complicated and too early. The proposal looks like half baked brainstorming. I like the fact that the proposal is too far forward looking. It's better to think these issues 100 years too early than 100 years too late.

Take for example taxation effects

> 23. Bearing in mind the effects that the development and deployment of robotics and AI might have on employment and, consequently, on the viability of the social security
systems of the Member States, consideration should be given to the possible need to introduce corporate reporting requirements on the extent and proportion of the contribution of robotics and AI to the economic results of a company for the purpose of taxation and social security contributions; takes the view that in the light of the possible effects on the labour market of robotics and AI a general basic income should be seriously considered, and invites all Member States to do so;

The underlying issue is that the balance between two factors of production is changing. Robots are capital assets and and workers are human capital. Capital assets are replacing human capital.

There is absolutely no reason to treat robots different from other machinery and introduce new reporting for the purpose of taxation and social security contributions. There are more straight-forward ways to move taxation burden from human capital to capital.
1) geocorder, with a random "r"

2) you don't plug in a BSSID into a geocoder, you would use something like wigle.net to go from BSSID -> lat/long

The fact that it would not be unique would fundamentally undermine the security of the CA system.

Nothing would stop someone from getting a certificate for the hostname "myfridge" on their LAN, then going to your LAN and using the same one to perform MitM for your "myfridge".

The plex approach is very interesting though! There would be a lot to think out, but LetsEncrypt could do it if anyone could.
I thought you were going to say something like "Russia must do an even better job of being the first to the moon!"
Disclaimer: I work in the CDN77 ops team and I wrote the frontend.

We mainly use it internally to help us get stable pingable IPs for latency monitoring when we're troubleshooting a specific network/customer. Then we throw the IPs into SmokePing/Smoke2 (internal tool) and watch the latency from different upstreams.
Our backend pings all IPv4s on the planet regularly.

We think someone else might find it useful, so i thought i'd share.
It's not gone it just becomes groundwater. Sure we won't see it back in any of our life times, but it's not as if we're going to run out any time soon.

In that respect fusion would be far more permanent.
Then we will have robots doing jail-time in cases like Enron.
I haven't read this either, but the flange(?) of the wheel, the part below/behind the rail, is on the same lever as the point where the wheel contacts the rail (v), but further from the axis, so it's moving further (>v), also opposite the direction of the train's forward motion, so total negative speed, in the frame of the rail/ground.

This is why a train is picked over most vehicles, which operate as you describe.
Regulating with Data
Other than "geocoder" being incorrectly written as "geocorder", it's correct. That's how the WiFi trilateration systems in cell phones used for determining location work; it's a simple DB lookup plus a small bit of math.
Yea it does seem like the potential for a massive leak. I wonder if employees/academics are even allowed to consent to things like this one university premises.
hm. I'll fix that.

I really like GitLab, but again like with the last release there is no Raspberry Pi 2 package. Even though it's officially supported platform it lacks behind over 2 minor versions by now (8.7.7).
The Fifth Elements dudes in the rubber masks was not a high point.

Thanks! I haven't seen one that does 24bit RGB + shape matching, would be interested in pointers (shading chars don't make sense in 24 bit color space).

Unfortunately I had to remove some of the more interesting diagonal shapes because they are wider than the character cell -- despite the monospaced font... :-/

I actually wrote this because I wanted to test my "pure Java" implementation of strict Typescript by running the raytracer example -- without needing to add a windowing library or image encoder: https://github.com/stefanhaustein/typo

Got the idea to extract the terminal image viewer from an Ubuntu stackexchange post asking for a tool that would display image thumbnails in the shell without opening a new window: http://askubuntu.com/questions/97542/how-do-i-make-my-termin...

If you run the tool on an image directory, I think you get a pretty good idea what's in the images from the thumbnails (compared to 16bit color)
Why does anybody believe there are constitutional issues with the case? Freedom of expression explicitly does not cover the sort of revenge porn that Gawker habitually engaged in. There is absolutely no first amendment cover for their actions.

Thiel in essence insuring the lawsuit so that an unfavourable verdict would not harm Hogan is in no way an attack on free speech or the free press.

Something tells me that if Breitbart had decided to host Jennifer Lawrence's nude pics and gloat about how they were refusing a court order to remove them, liberals would not be engaging in this hand-wringing.

This is an interesting idea. Robots don't need to have human rights. They can have 'robot rights'. In Bolivia, for example, there are rights of nature (applies to living and non-living things) [1]. There is also a strong advocacy for animal rights. The concept of 'right' doesn't only apply to humans.

Corporations have rights of 'artificial persons', which are not identical to rights of 'natural persons'. There are differences, like:

- Corporations can be owned (enslaved), bought and sold. Humans can only be rented (a job, service).

- Corporations have tax advantages (deductions, deferring taxes on foreign income etc.) that regular humans don't have.

- Corporations don't go to prison; they just pay fines when they break the law.

- Corporations can easily become citizens of most other countries through subsidiaries, while humans cannot easily do that.

"one human is a pretty constant unit of work"

Trivially false; human productivity routinely differs by a factor of thousands to millions.
There is no fallacy. Everyone's here who is intrigued by this question but dissapointed with the rather simple and unresolving reply in this blog post, should watch Moon directed by Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son who recently directed Warcraft.) Questions like these don't have simple answers. I'm rather dissapointed with the hand wave of emotion the post author ascribes to. But it is bringing the topic up, so I am happy for that.
I wonder, what does quantum physics have to do with human experience and brain operation?

It's a very persistent idea floating around, despite contradicting everything we know about how a brain operates.

More on topic, what he misses is that "consciousness" is a null word. It does not connect to any real phenomenon, and merely a result of a human being unable to imagine it's own non-existence, thus producing the long list of things like anima, spirit soul, consciousness and so on.
How far will this go?

I don't follow.

You know based on your ability to ask the question that you currently are you and not a clone of yourself, but you don't know that the person yesterday was you and not some other person that you were cloned from.
Maybe they will come to their senses and replace the lightning port with USB-C
This is the thing I hate about the congress: they can be as efficient or inefficient as they please and nothing seems to be able to affect them.

Terrorist? New legislation comes to the floor immediately with the aim to curtail this liberty or that one. Not only that but everyone seems to actually show up, and there is enthusiasm about voting.

New Supreme Court justice needed, the appointment of whom is literally the senate’s assigned job? Nah, we’re gonna drag our feet for months and months and months. And we are never going to actually get around to doing one of the few things that we are clearly assigned to do. And there will be no repercussions.

I’ve never had a job in my life where I didn’t have a manager checking in at least every week or two to see what’s up. I’ve never had a job where I wouldn’t have been fired if I refused to do something for months. For congresspeople, there should be provisions that require them to do every assigned task in a very clear time frame; any who “selectively” do their jobs should be fired.
Or block it in your hosts file and stay away from that shithole of a website.
Shocking, Gruber trying to defend what Apple does.

Since a headphone needs a DAC to transform the digital audio to analog there is no reason to move that DAC from the one already present in the smartphone to the headphone.

And the floppy analogy doesn't hold water, there is no better alternative to the jack

Implicitly. If it was explicit, then the exception would be directly written into the text of the 1st Amendment.

My english is obviously not as fluent as I thought it was. None of this was meant to be implied by my comments. I have no opinion on what the best way to advance Scala might be, nor am I even qualified to hold such an opinion. I have no idea whether Odersky's continued involvement with the language is needed or even desirable. I've no concept how much work is being done on Scala - none whatsoever? more than I could possibly imagine? probably somewhere in the middle.

What I said, and mean as my opinion and not an absolute truth, is that a non-insignificant chunk of the brains that used to work on Scala now seems to be busy on Dotty, and that the resulting work, amazing though it may be, might not make it back to Scala.

I have nothing to back this opinion up. Everybody involved with Dotty seems absolutely committed to it being the future Scala, and I've no reason to believe they're not in earnest. But I can't take the switch for granted until it's happened.
Maiden flight is nice but like I said I'd like to see something proven to the point of being flown at a major international airshow - not just put on display with a video.
Anyone who has taken a German car in for maintenance also knows we're quite capable of engineering ourselves into a problem as well.

That said, it's nice kit when it's well-maintained and regularly serviced.
It's a bit hard to have a reasonable discussion about this without knowing the features of what it's being replaced with. Lightning connector, sure, but what does that get me? Until we get an answer to that I don't really know what to be upset about.
Thank god this crap was defeated... for now at least.

The FFI is wonderful. Chicken also enables neat hacks. If you grab the generated C code and paste a couple of lines in your app's entry point, you can compile the resulting blob and deploy on iOS, for instance.
I'm waiting for Bluetooth headphones to become more commonplace and affordable. I break so many headsets through accidents so much I rather just go to the dollar store and buy a couple of headphones for $1 and use those whenever I just need to hear something privately, otherwise I could care less for headphones.
The pitch for user adoption seems to be that it will be cheaper and eco-friendly. But I question that, for example if your solar panels break or malfunction. You will always be paying for energy outside of solar as a back up.
Yep, same here. An Eve Online developer's diary would've made for a very interesting read indeed.
Yep, an arm-mounted stagefright performance monitoring device sounds like a pretty reasonable Apple Watch app.
I detect confusion. It's Excel that excels at simulating Eve Online. It sounds like Eve would make an even better simulator of Eve Online than Excel, however.

People get on the no-fly list for "a reasonable suspicion". Basically you can get to the no-fly list for using the wrong search terms on the internet. I'm glad Ben Swann covers these topics, you should check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud9Kfuvdw4Q
Just to throw out a few references, since they seem unmentioned so far:

The Ship of Theseus is an ancient recognition of a similar problem.

Greg Egan has written two stories that deal with copy-vs-continuity of consciousness: Diaspora and Permutation City. Both start with the premise "what if we could digitize our mind?" but go in different directions.
It's not at all surprising. Germany has for decades now been very environmentally conscious. This is why Germany is doing the Energiewende and have had plans to shut down nuclear reactors since long before Fukushima.

Given fracking in the US as an example, it's no surprise at all that you'd find broad support for heavy regulation or a ban of fracking.

What's surprising about this is that it took so long.
No relation or similarity to React; this isn't a UI toolkit but a platform SDK.

Fabric is the rebranding of Crashlytics, a crash-reporting SDK, combined with the Twitter ecosystem SDKs, and their ad platform, and so on. It's a "Twitter Inside" SDK.

To quote an earlier comment of mine:

"a souped-up Twitter SDK + Crashlytics + their bundled ad platform MoPub. The idea is you'll develop your app with this SDK and get crash reporting, usage stats, ad serving, 'Sign in via Twitter', Twitter integration, and [a bunch of] other stuff for free."
Unless you separate it into hydrogen and let the hydrogen escape into the atmosphere, it's hardly 'gone'.
Yep, should have said "one of the first". I was a kid during these times, so i don't quite remember the precise sequences, only that the onslaught worked kind of like a BS vaccine for the younger generation.
And, while not quite the same thing, if you are a user of iTerm2, it includes the script "imgcat" that will display an image directly in the terminal window.

Members of Congress are accountable to the electorate of their district (or, for Senators, state.) If those people want their member of Congress to do something, they demonstrate that by holding them accountable if they fail to do it.

It required 60 votes, and received 59 (officially 58 because McConnell switched his vote to retain the ability to reintroduce it). It only needs one more vote to pass, in other words. Feinstein was absent today, but will presumably be vote number 60 next time.
You have an explicit right to own a gun. You don't have a right to fly. Throw into the fact that anyone can be put on a no-fly list for any reason with no recourse and you have just given the government the opportunity and means to deny ANYONE ownership of a gun.
Consider another version: An exactly similar human being to you is discovered to exist on another planet. They have your memories, your aspirations, your habits, etc. They were not created as a copy of you. This person was born to parents, just like you, and lived the same life that you did. They are reading this post on HN right now.

Surely in this scenario the answer to "is it OK to kill one of you now?" is "no".

So why is this different to some people than a synthetically-created clone?
I think the culture will eventually change so that both JLaw's selfies and the Hulkster's closet porn will be covered by the First Amendment, but I agree that at this time, at least the former are not so covered. I also agree that what's sauce for the gander ought to be sauce for the goose, so until that changes the latter are also not so covered.
For the sake of argument, maybe assume the best case scenario of analog output through a very simple Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter.

That would be annoying, but maybe not the dealbreaker it could be if Lightning is only capable of digital output.
"Freedom of expression" is guaranteed, but not defined, by the first amendment. It's defined by 250 years of jurisprudence and precedent. Courts have repeatedly, explicitly, said that this sort of thing is not covered by the first amendment.

Someone made a parody web game once that was basically a database view of user and game state. You could insert rows and get points and things, it was a hilarious jab at the whole class of games where the gameplay feels like you're just updating cells in a database. I searched for it but couldn't find it just now, anybody know what I mean?
For me this doesnt work, I feel the comedy clip lost its humour (I guess the timing just wasn't there) and game of thrones seems to actually gain humour.
Why can't advertising be replaced with honest advocacy? People federating to find the products that best serve their needs, and rooting out bad actors who express opinions for personal benefit?

edit: Information is now free, barring firewalls. Consumer Reports had to rely on low bandwidth magazine delivery, and its transparency was limited simply due to how well it could communicate its own internal structure and activities. We can now create peer-to-peer systems where people could solely rely on information approved by people who they already trust, and that trust could be revoked at any time. In addition, people could recommend who to trust, and that recommendation could be revoked at any time.

Unwanted advertising is just cynical manipulation.
Oil isn't a big industry in Germany, this is like Canada banning slaughtering of monkeys for palm oil, purely political, no one in Canada is going to have to shut down their palm orchards.
Amen! While it's possible to get certs for things like firewalls and other embedded devices, it's a big PITA. Factor in the short expiration times, and buying a 2-5 year cert becomes a lot more attractive for those use cases.
