"the vast majority of consumers (and internet service subscribers) lack the actual technical expertise to be network administrators."

that's true, but the vast majority of internet service subscribers aren't their own network administrators. If you're using an ISP-supplied modem/router combo, i'd say that your ISP is your network administrator. If my ISP wants that kind of access into my local network (and they don't give me any other option) then they should be doing some actual administration.
On the other hand, it means that, as a candidate, you need a full day off each time you start talking to a company. I'm happy to do a few phone calls here and there before taking half a day off to go on site.
Sure, we had regression tests at my jobs back then but they were always written and managed by QA groups. I never saw nor wrote any until a few years later.

> The energy spent for TCP/IP stack usage is negligible at best.

Not true, especially en masse. Even less true for wirelessly connected devices.
170 companies and 3 offers? Why so many applications and so few offers? Were they just ignoring you?
Sorry silicon valley liberals, freedom of thought is too important to mess with
Maybe - in my experience with this, when the devices are within a foot or so, there really isn't much packet loss, maybe as low as 10^-6 or so. But I haven't really explored moving further apart. I suspect that this suffers from a sharp knee where it starts out reliable and then very quickly fades off.

To be clear, the 7kbps is the raw frame throughput, not the effective rate with TCP. There are two ways I can see to boost this number. One would be to pack more bits into each symbol, e.g. to use a wider QAM mode. I find that in practice the degradation from using speaker/mic makes this somewhat impractical. The other would be to use a more broadband signal (the width of the the main audible channel is a few kHz). But this is also kind of undesirable since it has to compete with more interference across the spectrum and can also be a less pleasing sound.
There is regulation. It's called the DMCA and it actually forces Google to take down any video that Samsung claims to be theirs.

If it was only ContentID and not DMCA-related at all, then there would be no counter-notice.
"In practice, it is still worthwhile to have N redundant independently developed provers to prove each other, and to benchmark against each other. This will help uncover subtle bugs that result from ordinary programming mistakes."

I strongly advise that to deal with both mistakes and subversion. Mutually-suspicious parties in various countries using different logics, compilers, hardware, etc. with a common, executable spec that's basically state machines or functions. That way they get same output from same input.

So, when I saw Milawa was verified first-order, I immediately looked for other verifications of first-order provers (found 1). Then the idea would be diverse implementations of executable parts of that stack with diverse reviews of logic combinations they did. Exhaustive testing done by each party. Even do implementations of key parts of TCB in other logics to check results. The prover with its code is trustworthy when everyone got the same results on same logics, code, shared tests, and individual tests. Plus have paper copies of the resulting text files with hashes stashed away somewhere in case a nation-state wants to throw money at countering diversity via hacking host systems. ;)

Then we rinse and repeat for more complex provers. The fun never stops in this game.
Presumably the old V.42 protocol used for modems would be quite suitable for this - it does re-transmissions.

I have watched Bryan talk before and have been following him. He is determined enough to at least make a significant contribution in this area.
Also what amazed me is that he would casually threaten to strike Russia. It seems that no one considers these attacks as an act of war. But that's what they are.

Hm, in my experience the difference between idle and 100% CPU usage on a modern ARM processor (e.g. Allwinner H3) is around 1 Watt. That's more or less what an LCD monitor in standby draws.

I wouldn't call that significant (as in, impacting the global energy consumption significantly) even if thousands of devices started the attack at the same time.
Did any one else find the style of writing in this article really annoying? Things like using prefacing statements with "so-called" or putting terms in quotes to make them seem suspect.

e.g.s:

York said Dyn was “actively” dealing with a “third wave” of the attack.
put a little extra effort in

So it's hopeless then. You're never going to convince anything resembling a sizable portion of the population to put in more effort for no easily appreciable benefit.
It's espionage, not necessarily an act of war. The US government is threatening to strike back with more espionage. (If they haven't already...)
AR needs better hardware still. It needs very powerful GPU:s and processors, running at very low power with good and yet lightweight batteries.

While we probably can produce great AR content today and produce headsets to display it, it will likely take almost another decade before it can be made portable in something you WANT to use.
I'll give the best account this immigrant can give: The weather does vary depending on where you are at. Norway is long - Nearly like the east coast if you take off Florida and Maine. The span and geography makes for somewhat varied whether. A decent swath is above the arctic circle: Much of Norway is thin save for the southern 1/3, which has a wider land mass and therefore, a chunk that is more inland. Oslo shares similar whether with such places, though it isn't as inland (the fjords can make 'inland' a weird thing). Much of the country is mountainous as well. Due to the large coastline, the country gets rainy along the coast, much like the west coast in the US and Canada.

Storms are a weird thing for me here. I don't consider much here a "storm", but I'm from Indiana where a storm meant possible tornado weather. Storms where I am - Trondheim - have heavy rain or snow and a fair amount of wind. As in, as an adult, wind has pushed me along on ice. Many are remnants of hurricanes, and the truth is they seem fairly mild. Even lightning and thunder are somewhat rare - I kinda get excited because I miss a good thunderstorm.

> People coming in extremely late at night [...] while causing tons of noise

These are all symptoms that proliferate in dense cities and college towns even without AirBnB. I live in the downtown of a small city, and can't escape late night noise either. But you don't think there's a technological solution to the problem that AirBnB passively enables this?

What if, say, the city had an app that allowed you to report incidents, and then they could investigate and penalize based on reports of bad actors (as current law enforcement works, minus the app) rather than throw out the baby with the bathwater?
The U.S. has changed the rules of engagment to state that any cyber attack can be met with real military counterattack.

If the Russians are behind it, after being emboldened by Ukraine and Syria, the United States has to respond. I'm not saying all out war but I am saying we have to show the Russians that this affects everything we are about. It affects our businesses, our elections, and our way of life.

I am saying there should be military action and if that leads to war then so be it, everyone will think twice about this sort of thing again and we will all be safer because of it.

I've also found it helps to use different Firefox profiles for different things, like hobbies, going to banks, going to anything google, programming stuff, etc. I have noscript, umatrix, and ghostery installed on each profile. I don't have it in front of me at the moment, but there is a Firefox command-line switch to bring the profile manager up when run.
> by definition - if they're qualified, they will get hired

It sounds like you're explicitly committing the No True Scotsman fallacy.

It's also an example of Goodhart's law: the people getting hired are demonstrably most qualified at getting hired, but the correlation between being good and being hired is quite clearly less than 1.0.

Surely anyone for whom one takes the effort to reach out to for a phone screen can be sent an email, no?

I don't understand how that's hard to keep track of. Even using pencil and paper.

A generic, form-email consisting of

I upvoted it because it has a configurable template and I like configurable templates, but it is way too complicated for a thing so simple (email is complicated, I get it).

Irony alert:

> "But technology providers in the United States could suffer blowback. As Dyn fell under recurring attacks on Friday, Mr. York, the chief strategist, said such assaults were the reason so many companies are pushing at least parts of their infrastructure to cloud computing networks, to decentralize their systems and make them harder to attack."

Pushing your infrastructure to cloud computing is not decentralization - it's centralization, and we're all doing it. Imagine if an attack like this was against AWS... we'd all be screwed.
A lone security researcher can find a bug and write it and share up a lot more quickly than corporation.

Corp has to write, test, verify, share internally, review and approve before it can be released. Bureaucracy. They also needed to patch their systems too.

Ryan Sleevi (Google) asked the question, and Robin Alden (Comodo) stated a reasonable timeline. There is no conspiracy here.
Uhm, not really? Like, I'd describe the system that auctions off frequency spectrum as "market-based", even though the quantity of spectrum sold is fixed. The frequency spectrum auction is a market designed and created by a central planner, sure, but it's still a market.

If you wanted to be really clever, you could separate out the environmental concerns as a separate entity and give them a budget to buy and leave unused the water rights that best support their mission. That seems a bit weird to me, though - I'd rather just figure out how much water we can distribute safely, and then auction off the right to receive that distribution at fair market prices.
Why? Let them invade another country, let them hack our infrastructure next such as our water supply? You think letting it go or doing nothing is the answer?

This guy Putin is no different than Hitler, let him do this sort of thing and you will have much bigger problems in a couple of years.
This could mean zero broadband competition in many areas of the country.
That's a great way into a nuclear holocaust, and I appreciate it. I always wanted to test my prepper skills, although I have to admit that I'm not really a prepper, more like a guy who makes fun of them, and don't even own a Geiger counter (because the good ones are fucking expensive).

> I am saying there should be military action and if that leads to war then so be it

I don't think that war with any nation, much less Russia, should ever be such a casual consideration. Measured in human suffering, military conflict is inestimably more awful than brief internet downtime.
I addressed this here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12762323

The military, EE's, and even RAM suppliers knew about those issues. There are products in high-security (esp Defense) that try to counter as many as they can afford to. The problem was the knowledge was ignored or intentionally not applied. The first just keeps happening in general in so-called INFOSEC. The second is a result of market incentives where the suppliers' goal is to hit specific performance, energy, area, cost, etc targets to maximize market share and profit. On cost, they also want to minimize that in general for the executives and shareholders to pocket more income. This really affects RAM vendors as people involved in QA have said on various forums that they're basically just pushed to get shit out the door as quickly as possible since competition is intense. That they do this with ever-increasing complexity in designs and physics in shrinking nodes means problems can only go up.

So, it's not a new discovery in terms of hardware correctness or even an accident. These problems are intentionally there to increase profits. Compare that to the design of things like 1802, NonStop, AAMP7G, rad-hard ASIC's... all that trade off marketable criteria at higher prices to get higher reliability. They exist but almost nobody buys them. That's why such practices aren't and won't be status quo.

EDIT to add NonStop link to show what earlier systems accomplished with careful hardware and software design. Similar, even more clever, techniques were used inside ASIC's as well.

The acquirer (AT&T) is going to pay a boatload of $$ to acquire Time Warner. Time Warner shareholders are getting a payday, whereas AT&T shareholders will be spending money.
Meta-correction: AT&T owns DirecTV, not Direct TV.
I also had a bad experience interviewing with Twitter. No less than 5 minutes into the interview (online), a second candidate comes into the chat. Apparently that interviewee shared my first and last names, and the Twitter recruiter had mistakenly signed us both up for the same interview time. Everything went downhill from there.
It's fashionable to blame Russia these days, but what country manufactures the most IoT devices, and has the type of government that could mandate backdoor access?
Of course I agree with you but it's not about the internet downtime.

It's about messing with or elections it's about the invasions. You let it all go on long enough and you will have much bigger problems in a few years time.
If a foreign entity is attacking our infastructure, that could certainly be viewed as an act of war.
I disagree. A cyberattack that were a short/medium-term risk to lives being the exception to this. But a cyberattack that plausibly affects at most the economy (and a fraction of it at best), if it be so proved, should be responded in a way that affects an economy or the like. The world, as it is, already has enough human lives being ended each day or put at risk for what are often tenuous reasons at best.
Where did you get the foam? I have this problem as well.
ok but, doesn't it ideally increase AT&T's value over time (else why would they be acquiring)? meaning, if the acquisition goes as planned, wouldn't you be better off holding onto AT&T?
Your own example, Bell System, is an example of an sub-optimal but obviously adequate regulated monopoly that worked moderately well over a century.

Ummmmm, no.

Whatever your economic viewpoint, there's no credible way you can claim that the Bell monopoly was healthy for the economy. This is the same organization that had to be taken to court to allow new devices to be plugged in. Remember these? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_coupler They weren't built because it's more efficient for computers to communicate over soundwaves.
TL;DR

Microsoft uses FPGAs. Google uses ASICs. MapD uses GPUs.
FPGAs are more flexible. ASICs are faster.

I think the FPGA approach is generally more useful and will trickle out into the marketplace. Indeed they are already available. So this article is more about Microsoft's fabric.

It's not impossible to think this would make its way into an Azure cloud product. That won't happen with ASICs. But Google will clearly have an advantage on the problems they focus on.

What about say, stealing a map of secret military installations? Can stealing certain pieces of data be considered an act of war?
I was ghosted by Google.
This is not an easy problem.

You need a lot of data and a lot of current regularly updated information about websites being attacked or current known CnC servers. Also, there is a privacy aspect, so you can't send a lot of the data or even hashes of things to the cloud.

Such solutions might be more appropriate for workplaces in large companies and they already have things like SRX firewalls that have DDoS features.
Having spent too much time with Biotech CEOs the old maxim that accountants are "first to be hired and last to be fired" is statistically valid. Their awareness of the raison d'etre of any business should be available to guide all the decisions.
Which in this case, just to keep things concrete, would be in the service of compelling people to host objectionable speech against their will.

CellularInsights was a source. My undergrad is EE/CS and I studied digital comms as well as meet Qualcomm people mobile health summit and other health computer conferences.

It's controversial, but I kind of agree. You need FCC approval to broadcast a radio signal due to the risk of interfering with other traffic, and you should have FCC approval that your IOT device meets minimum security standards before being sold.

Thank you for the feedback on our web site. This post is sort of bad timing since we're actually on the brink of rolling out a new site with much better content (and code samples on the home page). Click here to see what Lucee Server's scripting syntax looks like (very similar to JS or C) https://goo.gl/D3j4UZ
Also, the lack of mention regarding CFML is on purpose. Lucee is a modernized platform that wishes not to be associated with the negative stigma of legacy CFML apps. We implement the language, but with improved performance, features, and as FOSS.
