It seems like some eyeball and distribution networks should get together and run a private subset of the Internet, with good filtering (BCP38 style), etc. internally. You could get pretty good coverage with just ~10 eyeball networks in the US, a few cloud providers, and maybe some key infrastructure. Operate normally most of the time, but when under attack, be able to fall back to just vetted networks, transports, and routes, at least temporarily. Then have a limited number of hardened gateways, the way NIPRnet does with the civilian commercial Internet, which are used in intermediate-level attacks.

Opt-in, maybe have an association run it (like an IX, but without the expensive dinners and dues and general activism which inflates IX budgets), etc. This would do more for "critical infrastructure protection" than anything DHS/NSA/FBI have ever done.
I remember the drama. Delicious.
I really appreciate shows that don't encourage binge watching. Now, I enjoy binge watching as much as the next binge watcher, but since Black Mirror has a definitive ending after each episode, it's that much easier for me to turn off my laptop and go do something else - which usually is talking about the episode I just watched...

I replaced my bricked early 2011 MBP with a Lenovo laptop with a 4K screen at the end of 2014 (with pretty top end specs for ~$1200 CAD), so they've been doing it for a while.

On the downside, I got a consumer grade Lenovo, which meant free spyware and a less sturdy chassis than my MBP. Of course it was less than half the price of new similarly equipped Macbook Pro at the time.
Code up to professional quality in your free time.

Learn new tools frequently, and apply lessons from new languages into old languages.

Write your own compilers and interpreters, in order to understand the requirements, expectations, difficulties, and habits of compiler and interpreter implementations.

Design your own languages, in order to understand the requirements, expectations, difficulties, and habits of usable language design.

Give yourself at least ten years to become a half-decent programmer. Anyone who considers themselves half-decent who hasn't been doing it for a decade is probably kidding themselves; anyone who is considered by their peers to be half-decent who hasn't been doing it for at least a decade is probably surrounding themselves with incompetent peers.

Listen to your coworker. Get his specific complaints, determine what general rules you can gather that would assuage his concerns, and ask him if those general rules are the correct ones. If he can't give you specific complaints and general rules, he's talking out of his ass and playing status games; if he can, then no matter his manner of speaking, his criticism is constructive and valid. After all, bad code is a big problem, and at best puts extra work onto your coworkers.

If you cannot ask your coworker what he means by his criticisms, then you're probably sunk, unless some other coworker can explain it. But, as a junior dev, your code probably is bad -- the state of the industry is bad, and most code is awful, including that written by people who are ostensibly senior -- and you will benefit immensely from learning to write better code.

> 4. no... React is in fact just React. you can build a working UI without any supplemental React libraries. how is it "many other things" any more than Vue is?

I don't know if this is what @jakecode's argument is, but the tooling surrounding react builds is pretty bonkers. I can't keep up with the flavor of the week tools, and every single time I say this to someone, they tell me that the holy grail of React build tools is finally out and I just need to check it out. Except that holy grail is different every time the conversation comes up.

I'm not willing to put the build process of my entire app on a tool that's likely going to lose support and maintenance in the near future. It's just too risky and it's a big upfront investment to learn something that's going to be outdated quickly. I don't have the time to integrate something new constantly.

my first reaction is to not accept this and share anecdotes of my experiences, but maybe he's right. I don't run an IT dept. I've not done any cost benefit analysis. I just know my second hand thinkpad was cheap, works well and I won't trade it for a mac any time soon.

Maybe if I was loaded I'd buy my folks and siblings macbooks, but I'm not, and I'm happy enough to fix the odd issue on their cheap windows laptops. one or two reinstalls a year while I watch some TV in the background beats convincing them to spend money they don't really have on top of the line hardware

This line of reasoning is repeated in every single thread about the romance scams, and it's enraging.

You have no idea what the situation is. This isn't some old lady we stuffed in an apartment and ignored on the other side of the city. My wife talks to her every day and we see her in person 4-5 times a week. She comes over for dinner every single weekend. She was treated seriously, right up until the point that she lost her life savings and started laundering money.

Don't they have anycast IP for their DNS servers? I mean if you are running DNS infrastructure as a service in 2016 you should have anycast IP which will automatically offload traffic to all the servers in case of DDOS thanks to OSPF on BGP level.

It's due to openness of npm ecosystem. Any other language you'd have 50 different angulars at the same time but almost noone would know about any of them because they'd be confined to the companies that spawned them.

Frameworks as a popular thing started because people (rails?) started sharing their code and no other can share code as easily as JS and npm.

Angular 2 should be called Begular because it doesn't have anything to do with Angular but inspiration. You can stay on Angular but don't be surprised that people will prefer to develop something else since Angular folk painted themselves into a corner so hard that to make framework that sucks less they need to go back to drawing board.
I was able to access everything by changing DNS as mentioned in the other posts [1].

Definitely do give it another try. The good thing about this show is each episode is entirely stand-alone. Some episodes are definitely better than others. So if you don't like one, it doesn't necessarily mean you won't like others.

Incidentally, The National Anthem was my least favorite episode too.
I read in some of the reports (can't remember if official ESA, news, or twitter) that they were turned on for just 3 seconds (instead of the inteded ~50), plus the parachute was cut off earlier too. So, as this report from ESA says, it fell from at least a 1000 times higher than intended (the cut off altitude was 2m or so).

Let's try to put this DDoS attack in some context aside from the technical part.

As @scrollaway mentioned, 6 weeks ago, Bruce Schneier posted that several companies told him that they're detecting attempts to probe their networks and find ways to bring it down

Now let's look at the progress of events:

- Hillary Clinton's personal email server was hacked a while ago.

- A lone hacker published a document obtained by hacking the DNC servers. The document includes opposition research on Donald Trump and how Hillary can attack him in the election.

- Wikileaks published emails obtained by hacking the DNC

- US intelligence agencies confirmed that Russia was behind the DNC hack

- It was reported that the CIA is starting a cyber attack against Russian targets. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cia-prepping-possible-cy...

- This is happening while the war in Syria and Iraq is growing. The Russians are there to "fight ISIS" but they have deployed an air defense system even though ISIS doesn't have any air force.

- Russia's only air craft carrier is trespassing through UK waters to get to Syria in a show of force that doesn't really add anything to their military capabilities there.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/19/convoy-of-russ...

- Finland (yes, Finland) is increasingly worried about Russia. They violated their air space, and they're questioning Finland's independence. Finland shares a long boarder with Russia.

- US ships were attacked near Yemen after they're bombed some targets the belong to the rebels.

- US election is in 3 weeks and Donald Trump is openly in love with Putin. Trump questioned the benefit of NATO which is the basis for Europe stability after the 2nd world war.

I mean - these 'fixes' are common as far as I can tell (working in/around OCR). But then again - I'm not issuing certificates.

Quite often you try to eliminate uncertainty by being clever: Sure, OCR engine: Go ahead and recognize O and l and B if you want. If I know that the context of this text is an amount, I'll still replace those chars with 0 and 1 and 8 afterwards.

(Engines usually allow you to configure the allowed character set, but in practice it seems to be easier/more reliable to work like a parser: Lenient in what you accept and strict in what you pass on)
Google's 8.8.8.4 is now not responding to DNS

"Breast cancer awareness" is a thing only because it is a form of signaling that privileges female bodies. That's why it has such tremendous buy-in despite already saturated "awareness" going back 20 years, or the fact that there are a half-dozen causes of death with greater preventibility and lethality even just considering women.

I'm really tired of people engaging in pointless signaling campaigns and expecting to get points for being So Brave in the face of ~ universal consensus that they are correct, or taking minor bureaucratic snafus like this as evidence that they are somehow not in a position of complete victory.
Dyn uses anycast, just like everyone else. It's still a single AS and a single company though.
That's okay with me and I wasn't criticizing Google, just stating what happened. My recollection was that I was able to get the account re-activated by providing a CC #, but once I was aware it was in violation of the ToS, I switched to a different provider.
I noticed the same pattern.
A fallacy is really any argument that is wrong because of wrong assumptions or faulty logic, but leads to a believable result anyway. The free market fallacy is a fallacy because people who believe the free market solves problems base this claim on the assumption that human beings are rational and have access to all information.

I did not know so many services depended on DynDNS. Especially major apps. Figured they had their own DNS or used someone less "retail."

It doesn't (first result is openDNS, second is google):

I expected that to make more sense. Since it started out with the notion that humans are not natural, which is one of my very favorite silly falsehoods, my expectations were shattered rather quickly.
Thank you so much for mentioning this. This was my first thought when I heard about all the major enterprise sites affected by the DDoS:

"How do all these major players have singly-homed DNS"?
> Regardless, look at the vast majority of technical users relying on SSH without using a CA for secure communications, had browsers done a better job at self-signed certs we could be doing the same on the web.

How many technical users actually check the fingerprint matches the expected one of the server, out-of-band? Almost everyone I know just accepts the unknown fingerprint, so almost nobody knows who the endpoint they're actually connected to is.

The company I work at is small, at 32 employees. We standardized on macs in the mid 00s for the exact same reason: maintenance costs. Being a consultancy, the ROI calculation also included hours lost due to malfunctioning hardware or software problems, and it became very easy in the end to justify the initially higher expense of giving someone a mac instead of a PC.
Routing around today's DNS issues
DDOS attacks are nothing new. The scale has increased over time, but DOS has been a constant issue for as long as people have been mad on the internet.

This attack is notable because it expsoes a single point of failure for a lot of popular sites. The long-term fix is to distribute that SPOF so it's not so tight a bottleneck. This is as easy as specifying nameservers from multiple providers, or as complex as a distributed DNS system such as namecoin.

The internet is a giant cascade of constant failures, and developing for it is an exercise in planning for failure. This isn't new - if it appears new, it's just that most engineers have done their jobs well. What will happen out of this is that the people trusting all their DNS traffic to Dyn will start trusting only half of it to Dyn, and the next time Dyn is knocked out, the people who have diversified against that contingency won't be practically affected.
Quora.com cannot be resolved either.
This is the first time I've seen a data visualization of the job search process for a software engineer and it's amazing to see the variability in responsiveness between companies.

This is actually the most surprising thing I've seen since we started Triplebyte. Originally I'd assumed that every company complaining about how difficult it is to hire engineers, would be moving every candidate through their process as quickly as possible. In practice we learnt to stop working with companies who were too dysfunctional to get back to candidates promptly - even if it's just to let them know they needed a few more days to make a decision.

We'll also often see dysfunctional companies switch to the extreme opposite end of the responsiveness spectrum once they've made an offer and start pushing candidates to make a decision immediately. Better to have been responsiveness throughout the process. I suspect companies still underestimate how much that makes a candidate more positively inclined towards them once they're at the decision making stage.

What's bizarre about my comment?

I was positing that perhaps the American Dream has changed. The previous generation bought into the dream of owning a house and the car and the bigger the better. The motivation to buy a McMansion is a cultural response, but so is the new vision of living the way you live. I live more like you than like the people buying McMansions, except that I own the apartment I live in. Living in the NYC area, I see a lot of people who are chasing the urban dweller lifestyle at the expense of their future needs. They don't save, instead choosing to live paycheck to paycheck to afford their lifestyle.

In terms of aging out, I think that there is a limit to that type of lifestyle and it comes with having kids or other responsibilities, aging parents, illness, etc. I don't want to make it about you specifically anymore than I want to make it about me specifically. There are exceptions to every rule, of course. I am sure that the majority of the audience of HN who work are able to live well and save well. We aren't the majority in society.

"It's an attack on the system of gov't itself, women, minorities."

The Clinton's have attacked more women than Trump. I also don't see how Trump has attacked 'minorities'. Wikileaks has shown us just how corrupt our government has become...and the media continues to cover it up and deflect.

Illegal immigrants violating our current laws by being here. This is nothing new. You always have a chance of getting deported if you don't go through the proper channels to become a citizen. Most of the 'foreign-born' as you call it came to this country legally and through the proper channels.

Trump has said this from the beginning. He wants to make it easier for people to come here legally. I remember his first speech about Mexico and 'the wall'. He only mentioned illegal immigration and the press ran with it and left out the illegal part. The people that didn't see the speech believed it.

The tech industry loves all of immigration because they can hire engineers and other employees at a much lower salary than Americans. The employees get stuck into an essential slave contract because it's very difficult to move to another company while on an H1B visa.

Hillary is more of the same corruption, wasted tax dollars, and making back-room deals with billionaires and Wallstreet.

The government system needs to be attacked, because it's not doing anything in the best interest of its citizens.
