Yes, but they can be flooded as well. Every system is going to have a finite capacity. And if the capacity is exceeded, the system will slow. If the capacity is significantly exceeded, it will become unreachable itself.

So if the capacity of your system is X Gbps, then it will start to have problems if the attacker sends X + 1 Gbps. And will probably be completely unreachable if the attacker sends X * 2 Gbps.
Indeed. That's why I said it's a step back in terms of interaction model, too, not just graphic design. The applications sure look awful, but the interaction is increasingly bad, too (just look at the hordes of UX "experts" who religiously follow the Cult of the Hamburger Menu).

The obvious solution is to agree that any receiving containers from the ship owe an equitable sized fee based on their fraction of all the containers.

Also to charge creditors that 'arrest' a ship the mooring fee for the port (since they're the ones demanding it stays there).

The ship, any unclaimed cargo, and any unclaimed containers, would then be fire-sold with the base price of the remaining debt for that ship and the condition that whoever buys them is then responsible for them. Any additional proceeds go first to lessening the unload fees (presumably already paid for by the cargo's owners in their transit fees) and finally back to the former owner of the ship.

I forgot to add: The nation receiving the cargo should have an economic stability interest in backing the loans to do this, but those receiving cargo obviously also need to be in on the underwriting of these efforts.

Second edit: It also becomes obvious to me that the equilibrium price for 'when is it bad enough to execute this' is when those who need to claim the cargo from the ship value what they're getting enough to bail out the price of selling the vessels for scrap.
Why would apple implement a new weaker scheme in parallel to the existing old? Are the designers of the otherwise so secure enclave blundering? Or is this done on purpose?! (Hard to believe they would believe they would get away with it, so... amateur hour accident?)

Yes, but you can certainly linearize that for image operations and much easier than sRGB (which has a nasty change of mapping functions midway).

"How does it make sense to have 2 different units of time in there?"

This way it's easier to calculate how much energy your appliances uses. For example, if your vacuum cleaner is 1000W (1kW), running it for an hour will use 1kWh of energy which cost you can clearly see on your electricity bill. Unless you also want to re-lable all appliances, electric engines etc. in joules.. Sure, joule makes much more sense in physical calculations.

Gnuplot interface is a little dated, so custom visualisations are not so easy yet many disciplines today have a bunch of them. This should not have been a problem but it is because the gnuplot licence makes it unforkable and that discourages contributions. Contributions -- that would allow it to evolve, e.g into a base package (API) onto which other plotting packages could be built. I think this would be an irresistible allure since gnuplot is in my experience the fastest plotting package out there.
I think your second explanation goes a long way to explaining the whole San Bernadino iPhone 5c dog-and-pony-show that Apple put on early this year.
> RGB or XYZ doesn’t make any difference to “robustness”, if we’re just adding colors together. These are just linear transformations of each other.

What I meant was, that there are so many different RGB color spaces, that just converting to "RGB" is not enough. One picture may have been encoded in Adobe RGB, another one in sRGB. And even after linearization they're not exactly the same. Yes, one can certainly bring them into a common RGB. But then you can as well transform into a well defined contact color space like XYZ.

> It is true that the errors you get from taking affine combinations of colors in CIELAB space are not quite as outrageous as the errors you get from doing the same in gamma-encoded RGB space.

That's what I meant with "expected" results. In general Lab is a very convenient to work with color space. I was wrong though about L being linear. It's nonlinear as well, but not in such a nasty way as sRGB is.
Nope. For reference the whole point of mpl was a numpy backed plotting library which was easy to switch to from matlab - hence the gross plt.xxx api for matlab compatibility. That it was relatively toolkit agnostic was a choice to help it's adoption, but as matlab interactivity was basically only hover showing values, so was mpls initially.

If any microorganism gets in your eye, it will usually be washed out of the eye by your tears and the sweep of the eyelid. If you're wearing contacts, it can get trapped in the film of liquid between the contact lens and the cornea, or in the film around the edge, and the tears and eyelid sweep will not be able to eliminate it. It's then in an environment where it's free to multiply and cause problems.
Funny but I think that this competition is a blatant case for not using deep learning for everything. Apparently the software can have access to the depthbuffer. That makes the "defend the center" exercise extremely trivial and should make aiming and shooting much better than the demo we see.

I think that a scripted AI will be much better than a blind deep-learnt one. A level of deep-learning may add a good layer of intelligence, but I think that building it on some optimal bricks would be a good start.
This passage raised my red flag:

I agree and I could see them reversing their stance now with the press around it. More than likely a middle manager approved the pro bono usage and once it got expensive that manager found him/herself in hot water over the resources being consumed. A few apologetic emails to Krebs from that middle manager, but saying he had to go, and boom we find ourselves here.

I remember a different variation from the 1990s: a wallet instead of the ring, and an offer to split the cash. While you talk with the baiter, the "owner" shows up saying you stole it and threatens with police or just hints a violent payback. The baiter then begs the victim "we both" have to pay the "owner", or else.

There has to be a site somewhere listing them all.
One approach is to go to the MIT OpenCourseWare website, look for the economics department, and look at their reading lists.

Of course, that's going to be mostly academic reading (textbooks, etc.). But if you want to learn the basics, it's probably safer to start there than the pop econ books (and I would dispense with most heterodox reading before you're able to assess them within a larger framework).

Two good books that haven't been mentioned here:

Economic Theory in Retrospect, by Mark Blaug. Very useful to get a good historical grounding in the main ideas that compose today's orthodox economics.

The Applied Theory of Pirce, by McCloskey. Your usual microeconomics textbook, but far more thorough, insisting a lot on grasping the intuition behind the concepts. Available for free from the author's website here: http://www.deirdremccloskey.com/docs/price.pdf

> how empirical work destroys blackboard economics

The value of empirical work hinges on the assumption that the economic environment you're modeling is ergodic, or at the very least stationary AND that you have enough data of good enough quality.

If those conditions are not given, then you need theory. To establish relationships, not just time-series properties, this needs to hold for all variables separately as well as their copula, else you need theory. If one of the ingredients in your model is not observable, you need theory.

I am really tired of all this post-adolescent posturing by "hard scientists" who haven't thought things through. Maybe the relevant distinction is not between "real world" and "imaginary world" but between mirage and best-you-can-do-under-the-circumstances. (Then again, I am a theorist so perhaps I am overly harsh.)

I suggest Polya's Plausible Reasoning [1] as a better guide to "economic epistemology". Maybe look into Rational Belief theory (key reference: M. Kurz's 1994 papers [2,3]) for a "compromise" in modeling. Also, Fischer Black: Estimating Expected Return [4].

In general the US seems to be stuck in a gordian self-fulfilling prophecy: many people in the US see government administrations evil or inefficient in all matters and they are enough to actually handicap the government administrations, and make them actually inefficient.

I think that at one point US citizens have to come to terms with the idea that they need to be protected by efficient government administrations, and that regulations are actually what makes free market move in the direction of social progress.

But seeing the resistance there was to Obamacare (which, seen from western Europe is really the bare minimum a civilized country should have) I am not holding my breath.

The simple approach is to say, "to make a great game, it should be fun for the person playing it." But they've already taken a step back and approached it from the perspective that great gaming happens socially. Maybe this is one reason I cherished all the Nintendo games as much as I did. It's because the memories of playing them are always with other people and we're all having fun. It wasn't a solo act.

The Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Artistic Creation
So, I wrote this text talking about the impact that I think an artificial intelligence will have upon the artistic creation. It's quite a huge text, but I think it's worth to read, and I thought maybe some people here would be interested.

Basically, I argue that with an AI, making art will get a lot easier. I mean, imagine if making an "Avatar" movie was as cheap as write a fanfic. Imagine if we have machines capable of dubbing movies in a new language, imagine if we have machine capable to convert any content to 8k, imagine if we have a machine capable of creating new episodes of ____ (insert here your most loved TV show that got canceled), and so on...

Imagine if making art was easier. If everything you needed was the idea, and the machine did the rest? That's basically the idea of my text.

Also, I speak about the history of people trying to create this sort of highly automated way of producing art, which is something very, very hard. Especially due the fact that each work of art is subjetive to such particular criteria.
Yeah, I was wondering about that when I posted (too quickly). You're right of course, though it turns out that Yahoo! still owns 35 percent of Yahoo Japan, basically the same amount as Softbank, a major Japanese ISP I believe.

A few things to keep in mind:

1. Australia was probably settled well before the Glacial maximum.

2. We don't know much about the coastline, a rocky, volcanic island wouldn't have been a great help to the migrators.

3. They islands they had to go through is a geographically active region (it's possible some people in the migration witnessed the Toba eruption), so knowing where the coastlines were is difficult.

4. Is there a standard for what's considered open ocean? I would consider 45Km to be included, but then again, I would consider grater than 0.1Km to be open ocean.
I would bet money that the attack was truly epic... to the point where it was impacting (or was about to impact) other Akamai customers. Because you are right, this is terrible PR, and Akamai knows it.

DDoS mitigation is fundamentally a problem of "who has more bandwidth?" - if the attacker has more bandwidth than you (and how much bandwidth you have depends on "to where" ) - it's over.

The problem is that the economics, right now, are heavily tipped in favor of the attacker.

And many open source developers are just fine with that. If someone finds a use for my code and even if they make lots of money off it then good for them. It's not like they've stopped me from using it in the original form. I've also had cases at work where we want to use open source and copyleft licences have caused clueless managers to get panicky despite the fact that we don't redistribute anything, only make use of it internally. They also often initially tell me not to contribute anything back but after the work is done and I explain multiple times about the effort of porting the changes to subsequent newer releases they agree (often with the proviso of using my personal e-mail). In summary, I don't follow the RMS line of closed source being morally evil or whatever so a license like ISC or MIT is the best practical match to my wishes when I release stuff.
For every rational person, there's an emotional, narrow minded, "Everyone is bad!", over reactive person. Especially in certain counties. Counties where people have too much time on their hands; like Marin County.

O.k. What's up with the vitriol dude?

Over the years I have owned some large breed dogs. A Bull Mastiff, and two rescued pit bull/American bull dog mixes. They were all over 140 lbs. All three dogs wanted nothing to do with anything within 8 feet of my truck.

I had them at different points in my life. The pit bull mixes went to dog obedience school, but didn't do well. I was talked into putting one on Proxax for behavioral problems. Hell, at one point we were both on the same SSRI.

The problem with my dogs is they were very territorial. I tried to socialize the pit bull mixes, but by the time the the vaccines had time to build up an immunity; it was just to late for socialization, or obedience school success. They were too set in their ways, and didn't want to be around other dogs, or certain people without my presence. They just didn't like anyone near my truck, or within 8 feet of it.

I didn't like to leave my dogs in their backyard, so I would take them out on the weekends, and after work. Sue me!

I would sometimes do errands with them.
I would park my truck, with a Leer shell, filled with bowls of water, and two windows open, with custom grating on the sliding Windows, under a tree, or a remote area with shade. I was never gone more than 20 minutes.

They were never in danger of overheating. The "the over-reactors" always seemed to assume the worse. This one lady accused me of going to work, and leaving my dogs in the truck all day. Another accused me of leaving my dogs in a hot vechicle, and was in the process of calling the Humane Society, as I took off.

It only happened two times I know of, but it hurt. Those dogs were never in any danger. I treated those dogs like babies.

After everything I just wrote, I'm still glad they have that law about breaking windows.

I can guarantee this, if anyone decided to break the plexiglass widows on my Leer shell, or cut the wire over the windows; that "know-it-all" would not be alive. My dogs would have tore them to pieces.

I think the moral of the story is don't assume. Don't stereotype. Don't always assume the worse.

(I am now I a bad mood, and miss my dogs. They all lived to old age, but passed. I miss them more than my father. Now--that's not right? You didn't have my father. Good night people.)
I realize how much more I have to learn in reading bugfix blog posts like these.

Cloudflare is not the police. They're a private organization that makes a profit from offering "protection" for people getting DDoS attacked. They enable the people doing the DDoS attacks by protecting their booter sites (https://www.google.com/search?q=ddos+booter). That's called a racketeering operation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racket_(crime)), and that's illegal. There are laws against it. Just because our crappy government is too incompetent to file charges doesn't mean it isn't illegal.

If Cloudflare thinks they can foster criminal activity through their network because they're running a juiced up nginx proxy, they're wrong. The "slippery slope" argument is absolute nonsense. As Krebs himself pointed out, they already remove sites that are hosting phishing attacks and malware.

Cloudflare, it's time to do the right thing here and stop protecting DDoS booters. Your policies are helping to damage the internet and censor people, whether they're illegal (they are) or not.
