On top of that, that isn't generally how liability works. If you make a crappy garage door that anyone can open, the people who bought one might be able to require you to fix it, or possibly make claims for losses if things are stolen. But when some vandals steal spray paint and sledge hammers and smash up the neighborhood, the vandals are the ones responsible for smashing up the neighborhood.
As in, has anyone successfully trolled me? Or have my "victims" defeated my attempts? If the latter, all the time. The people that defeat me are the ones that just ignore me. Once I can get people to engage with me, I'll try to string them along as long as possible.

Well, most of the north is culturally different to the SE. :)

For the OP, I agree with this - look North - the people get friendlier. Even though you'll be paid less you'll have much more money in your pocket to enjoy after housing and travel. I'll even agree that the Scots are extremely friendly - half my friends are Scots!
That's a bingeable show because it hooks you with cliffhangers. I don't consider it a great show by any stretch like I do Black Mirror so binging is fine. I watched 3 or 4 episodes and put it down. I'll finish it at some point.
> I like saying controversial things to see if someone will get upset or offended.

It's unfortunate this brings selfish joy at the cost of other's suffering, all without external attempt to solve the dissonance behind the disagreement.
More likely the marketplace itself moves overseas. People use Amazon because they sell the stuff they want. If they stop selling it, the buyers go somewhere else. Amazon is a website. It could as easily be a website hosted out of China.

Also, it sounds like you don't mind if the effect of your proposal is to destroy things like Etsy. And eBay.
Yesterday I had to store integers as keys in a map. It's good to learn today that they are implicitly converted to strings. Yes I could have used an array, but that would of required me to know the max index I would suppose. Maybe in JavaScript I insert into the array at any index, but that doesn't seem usual to me, coming from a C background I'd allocate the max index + 1.
Perhaps it is time to realise you have a tepid personality. Hopefully you can be fixed. Good luck.
I'm sure it's far less true than it used to be but historically, yes, a lot of US records existed only in paper form in some school or courthouse or town hall where they were subject to being lost in a fire, natural disaster, or just carelessness. Certainly it's been a plot point in many a book or movie where someone assumes an identity chosen because records concerning a person had been lost in some manner.

Based on stories I've head over the years, it can actually be quite challenging to get a passport if you can't lay your hands on your birth certificate or if that birth certificate doesn't match up with you because of some mistake or whatever.
You're essentially appropriating other people's computing resources for your own agenda, even if it's a good one, without the owner's permission. That's a crime.

I'd just suggest using the scanning portion to identify unsecured connections that should be added to a firewall's blacklist.

Maybe that could be a good SAAS service that would provide a blacklist of all unsecured IOT devices and printers to everyone interested for blacklisting purposes.
That's why when it comes to javascript I don't use anything but bare JS and jQuery. There is too much churn in everything else.
Most people happily install whatever GPG key to apt the website tells them too. If they can compromise the installer probably they can compromise the page too.

Secondary fun fact when you add a key to GPG it's valid for any package from any repository. That repository could happily replace libc, or perhaps more strangely a key used to sign some popular repository could be uploaded to say the main Debian archive and anyone with that key added would happily install it with no errors.

Plenty of side cases in reality
This is analogous to the Torrens system of land registration (called a "land registry" in the article), pioneered in South Australia in the mid 1800s. It has almost totally replaced Common Law title everywhere that the Common Law operates.

Prior to Torrens, land ownership was under Common Law. You owned land by buying a title or deed from the previous owner, who had bought from someone else, and so on.

If the chain was broken, you ran the risk that some day, someone would show up with an unbroken chain that ran back further than yours.

Naturally this created an ocean of bitter legislation, often populated by jaunty fleets of fraudulent documents.

The Torrens system essentially says: unless it's in the government register, no land ownership or change of ownership is valid. You can sign anything you like, say anything you like, join pinkies and make a pinky promise. Until you update the register, it doesn't matter.

It's a simple and effective system. Given that enforcing the law of property is one of the fundamental purposes of governments, it makes sense that they would simplify enforcement for themselves and their citizens.

Of course, IANAL, TINLA.
Or you could read the good old Algorithms in a Nutshell. (Bubble sort is not in the book, though.)
One of the two companies actually says in their FAQ (paraphrasing): "Couldn't I just invest a small amount of money with you, then manage a second much larger account myself by hand, mirroring each trade? Yes, but we think our fees are cheaper than the time you'd spend doing that."
"Officials and figures get less protection than common man."

This is an accepted principle in evil authoritarian countries, not liberal democracies.

Everyone should have the same rights, regardless of wealth or status. This is just an excuse, so you can make yourself feel better at night for treating someone as less than human.

Most users (in the US at least) pay flat fees. Seeing your bill skyrocket because a compromised device on your network is uploading a constant 30Mbps is incentive to locate and resolve the problem.
Why unfortunate? this sort of 'suffering' is minimal and if a person saying controversial things causes upset, then they can grow thicker skin, troll back or find different company.
Very true re cultural difference between the North and SE. I was just thinking from a purely Scots perspective :)
There is also more hype about React than Angular. I don't exactly think that React is a 'better' framework than Angular. But the truth is the dev ecosystem loves React, which gives React Native a huge edge. I do believe that NativeScript would have been more popular than React Native if Angular(2) was more popular than React.

Doesn't this just shift probable bugs from code to the proof? At least if you are not Nasa/Intel/Amazon with a lot of resources to dedicate to this?

I guess (just a guess, maybe misinformed) that proper testing and fuzz testing of code is considerably more beneficial than finding bugs by trying to prove it.
In Spain we used to have the same system, called "Libro de Familia". It was abolished years ago because it simply does not work in a world where people don't live in the same place their parents do, people can get divorced and remarry several times and shared custody is a thing. Nowadays each person has his own birth certificate, marriage contract and the like.
The money is in both, and arguably there are greater knock-on effects from automating "labor for those tasks is so cheap to make robots uncompetitive price wise".

A humaniform robot imbued with sentience and what little progress we've made on (emulating?) sapience is sufficient to substantially (not entirely replace) disrupt the human labor demand from the following industries.

* Residential lawn care for Single Family Residences, a $10B annual industry in the US alone. http://bit.ly/2eu4Ulm
* Residential maid service, a $30B annual industry in the US alone. http://bit.ly/2eSQ3oL
* Residential home senior health care, a $180B annual industry in the US alone. http://bit.ly/1ufk95Y
* If residential meal prep and cooking were mostly or possibly entirely automated, then that can convert the personal chef
industry from hundreds of millions into one that poaches a significant portion of the $780B fast casual industry.
http://bit.ly/2dJweO0

That's just four industries, with a combined annual revenue of $1T in the US alone, with tremendous consumer demand. There are lots of other possible industries that can be disrupted with such a "simple" robot, especially in the commercial sectors, and globally. It is not a stretch to say such a robot is a multi-trillion dollar opportunity.

Suppose you offer a $100K humaniform robot with OTA software updates that can perform most household chores, geofence young children into a specific locality, and basically the sense range, kinesthetic sense of a human, object recognition depth of current AI software, but with only the sapience of what we associate with AI today. Amortize the payments over 30 years, and I expect a billion households will beat a path to your door and happily pay that amount.

It would be hard to predict the knock-on economic and other effects of the development of mass-produced personal household robots. Probably similar to trying to predict the demand upon lithium supplies a century from when the Model T was introduced. Perhaps something similarly unexpected like divorce rates dramatically drop due to fewer domestic disputes over household chores because most of those chores disappear.

My thesis is that the people building robots are not dumb, and already realize the financial potential in figuring out sentience, and already are aware at some level that the sentience I speak of is incredibly difficult to build because we understand so little about it, and the AI field focuses upon coming in at the problem from the sapience angle/level for the good reason that sapience is closer to our current form of computer technology than sentience.

Ask HN: How did Dyn fail to fend off DDOS?
I'd imagine that DDoS attacks is something that DYN and other DNS providers would spend a lot of resources to prevent. Was there something specific about this DDoS attack that DYN was unprepared for? Or is there some reason that distributed natural of DNS makes it hard to prevent DDoS? Anyone know of any steps that DNS guys are taking to prevent another DDoS?
Still use this today, it's what you do with an embedded device when all you have is a serial line and need to get files on/off.

Slow as hell though, but then I didn't grow up with this stuff.
So to combat all of this you're going around correcting people and dismissing their perspectives as, among other things, the usual PC culture? Do you not think your attitude will evolve in your children and theirs into the same mockery of kindness and it's own principles that has befallen everyone else?
I'm really tired of hearing these tropes. Climate change is based on computer models, which as far as I can tell, can't predict the future.

Route 53 aint all that. We approached them about handling our customer's domains, and they said no way. They didn't have the capacity. Granted, this was 2 years ago, but Dyn has a much better reputation (still) than Route 53.
Why do you say that we can't compare the results of each? Aren't individual stock and index's competing within the same environment (same systemic and unsystemic risk factors)? Difference being that the unsystemic risk is non-existent.

It's a form of learning. Children do this all the time. The social function is to find out what the social boundaries are.

Simplifying a great deal, and summarising a century of social theory, what is stable in society are second-order expectations, i.e. what others expect myself and others to do. But social expectations are not directly observable, which is a problem. Trolling is a form of behaviour that teases out others's reactions which gives us information about their boundary between socially acceptable and socially unacceptable behaviour.
Don't forget that DDoS is a market too, and not the smallest one.
That creates a difficult balance. I agree with everything you said (except he instead of they).
Where we are let down with that approach is if businesses, media or government don't take responsibility to manage prejudice and bullying. Imagine being Jewish in Germany just before WWII.

Now my argument may sound like political correctness, but it's not for a few reasons. You avoid prejudice by avoiding topics of gender, race, etc. You ensure people have the opportunity, which doesn't guarantee an outcome. You don't need equal numbers, just don't alienate. These 3 things encapsulate my beliefs and are the antithesis of political correctness.

So, you are right in that individuals should have the right to their views and should expect them to be challenged. Also recognise that Facebook and co will magnetise these marginalisers to each other, giving them a collective voice which can easily turn into a mob (as it often does). If you don't have responsible leadership (and we don't), these mobs become vicious and destructive. Compound this with political correctness and you have a toxic, self righteous and highly prejudiced mob of hate and bullying!

With policies of both US candidates being so openly prejudiced (eg. Trump on Mexicans, Clinton on her gender card), the future for more hate and bullying looks certain.

Has the Exceptionalism of America Become a Myth
Warren Buffett says it's OK, and has an excellent explanation for this. If I recall correctly: imagine you take all the investors in the US economy and put them in a room. Divide the room in halves. One side contains all the active investors, the other side contains all the passive investors. If each side owns roughly half of the economy, their returns will be equal. In that case, it's better to sit on the side with the lower fees... so one should naturally sit on the passive side.

Setting Warren Buffett aside, what you neglect to mention is that the stock market is both a primary and secondary capital market. We can speculate about how to speculate... whether to be passive or active... but this concerns only the functionality of the secondary market. There's still primary market functionality: companies issue stock to raise capital, buyback stock, and issue dividends. Thus, even if all the investors are passive, there's still always one active agent in the game: the company itself. And a capitalization-weighted index is ideally suited for this activity: it automatically shifts capital away from companies buying back stock (essentially, companies returning money to investors) to those issuing new stock (essentially, companies seeking to raise capital).

"Hating" is a strange thing. It's the trustless communication by an individual, or group of individuals, JUDGING another individual or group in a way that SPEAKS for the other individual or group. For example, if I was telling Alice a story about Bob, and I were to say something like "Bob doesn't know how he feels, he is sad most of the time and everyone here hates him for it" then I would be blaming Bob for not knowing how he feels, rationalizing my own thoughts about how he feels (sad) and then presenting "his" emotions as a shared truth for Alice and others that would listen. As long as I did that in a way that corroborates other's external observations of Bob nobody will know any different, other than Bob of course.

Haters use simplified terms, leading questions, "thoughts of others" and visualization seeds to transmit their internal blaming views onto others. Those seeds are then propagated by those who don't know these recursive thoughts are dangerous to play with, as they lead to increasing blame, judgement and speaking for larger groups over time. I say "dangerous" here, but what I really mean is "increasingly inefficient" given everyone involved in the hate has to start rendering future realities that don't exist. ISIS, for example, does this quite well using Armageddon (a foregone conclusion) as their excuse to be involved in massive suffering. Gandhi observed that our thoughts become our words, our words become our actions, our actions become our character, our character becomes our destiny. Causality happens somewhere in there, even if we don't want to admit it.

If we choose to judge and speak for others, the expectation is that others will continue to increasingly judge and speak for us. Or as Erlich put it best : "Richard, if you're not an asshole, it creates this kind of asshole vacuum, and that void is filled by other assholes, like Jared. I mean, you almost gave him shares. You need to completely change who you are, Richard. A complete Teutonic shift has to happen."

You're not building "basic internet infrastructure". You're standing up Gitolite next to your CI system and Gemcutter or Kappa or pick-a-Maven-repo-including-Wagon-over-FTP. It costs about twenty bucks a month to do both these tasks. If they're running on separate machines. Which they don't have to be.

The idea that a git remote is "basic internet infrastructure" that should be out of your hands because you're shipping a product raises ignorance to worshipful levels. If you want to use Github for collaboration, that's fine! But if your deploys, etc., are being held up by something out of your control that isn't systemic failures with the provider in which you're deploying your software, you done screwed up.

It's not Vodafone specific, it's really a generic property of cellular IoT.

Any 3GPP technology (for IoT, primarily 2G and LTE) can provide private PDN connectivity, where the device is not put on the Internet but on a private LAN. In this case, the device will only talk to friendly server and will not be directly accessible from random hacker.
Now it's not a mandatory features either, so some devices can be put on the Internet and become reachable. Even in this case the situation is less dire: the devices are attached to a subscription, and it's in theory possible to insert some filtering. Also, operators now often require that devices support over-the-air (OTA) software updates, which allows fixing vulnerabilities.

Now with 2G it's possible to have rogue base stations to hack devices. But this is a local attack, so not usable for this kind of massive DDoS. And this hole is closed in LTE, where there is mutual authentication (device authenticates the network too).

So yes, I believe cellular IoT should be safer. The private PDN feature is very simple and very effective. Now, will have to see the prices for the new lower cost IoT LTE categories: CatM1 and NB1.

CatM1 will be the first to appear in the US. It's rather versatile, and can handle low throughput data and will handle VoLTE in a second step.
NB1 will appear first in Europe. It's more streamlined but it's really for message based application (sending a message now and then) and data only.
