It's only a matter of time until somebody manages to implement an easily-monetizable decentrialized CMS website that synchs the content across multiple nodes. There would be a lot of technical challenges like syncing accounts and managing decentralized moderation, but still - between piracy and prostitution and the like, there's a lot of money to be made hosting illegal content, and if law-enforcement crushes it where they find it then the obvious solution will be to develop a system that's impossible to shut down because it mirrors itself to new hosts trivially.
Conceptually, I separate embedded from C because:

1. Embedded systems are increasingly less subject to the constraints that require C.

2. Embedded systems are increasingly used for tasks where the difficulty in writing correct robust code in C produces life safety failures.

3. Gaining above average professionally applicable knowledge regarding embedded systems is likely to be more easily acquired in a short timeline than professionally applicable knowledge in C for reasons 1 and 2. Particularly for a self study course.

4. Building stuff that touches the real world is more a matter of embedded systems than choice of language. Building such systems is as easy as buying an Rpi or Arduino and some wire and some sensors.

> * How long will it take for "Deleware" to melt?

Potentially a very long time, although it will likely break into smaller pieces first. A lot of icebergs get caught in the Antarctic Coastal Current, and just drift around the edge of Antarctica, not melting very much at all. Over time, most of them break free and drift north into warmer waters and melt, but others stick around. Iceberg B-9, which calved in 1987, still has a few chunks sitting around.

> * Is ocean ice this large called an iceberg?

Yes. You'll sometimes see the bigger bergs described as "ice islands", but that's just a subcategory of iceberg.

> * Does is get an official name, like IIS Wilmington (international ice station, capital of Deleware)?

It'll get a numeric designation, A-nn, where A indicates which quadrant of Antarctica it originated from (in this case 0-90W) and nn is a sequential number, probably in the high sixties depending on whether any other large bergs calve first. Then, as it breaks up, the resulting bergs will get letters added to the name, A-nnA, A-nnB, etc.

> * Have large ice sheets in the past forced/caused changes in human behavior, such as altering shipping lanes, in the same way planes fly around a storm?

In 2005, B-15A blocked the entrance to McMurdo Sound, where the main US and New Zealand Antarctic bases are located, and they were unable to get cargo ships in for a few weeks. And of course, ships are redirected around icebergs in the open ocean all the time.

And most likely the next (or the one after that) will be run by someone outside the USA, either in a place where cooperation with US authorities is unlikely or where prostitution is legal and thus any extradition requests (if anything got that far) would be less likely to be honored.

Heck, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the next one run out of Russia, particularly if clients had to do some form of registration to get full access. Out of all the users you might get a few interesting email addresses worth tracking long-term, and you might even get reused passwords or at least a password pattern for some of those.

Fair enough, though the biggest hurdles are likely to be regulatory and not technical, right? A self driving car company could conceivably kill itself by solving all the technical problems and going straight to level 5 without regard to what lawmakers allow.

The question has big implications... the post mentioned the follow-up question of whether we need stoplights anymore. We don't need stoplights anymore if all existing cars disappeared all at once, and all car manufacturers go straight to level 5 at the same time. We do need stoplights for the time being if for some reason that doesn't happen.
A lot of people have pointed out how real depression makes it difficult to do the very things that would help alleviate it. In some cases, medication can be the crucial tool that helps you escape this cycle.

At the same time, I have mixed feelings about psychiatry. The field has done a lot of good, but I also can't help but feel that modern antidepressants are seriously lacking. They help some people, but they don't help everyone and can take weeks or months to work; they can also backfire and make some people suicidal. Prior to the 1950s, the common antidepressants were opiates and amphetamines. These fell out of favor due to their addictive properties, but in a way their addictiveness comes from how effective they are at rapidly alleviating depression. If you found a pill that made you happy within an hour, it's easy to see why you would want to keep taking it (and why you might want to take more of it than you need).

It can be very difficult to create an antidepressant that makes you feel better without also having addictive qualities. I often wonder if stigmatizing opiates and amphetamines -- and replacing them with MAOIs, tricyclics, and SSRI/SNRIs -- was a mistake. I'm not saying that they should be first-line treatments, but it seems a little weird that we would rather give people ECT (induced seizures) than psychoactive chemicals that reliably and rapidly alleviate dysphoria.

I've personally found Kratom (a plant with opioid alkaloids) to be very effective at relieving depression and anxiety, and of course states have already moved to ban it. Sometimes it feels like all the useful drugs are illegal, and we're left with these half-assed pharmaceuticals that have a low potential for abuse precisely because they don't do anything useful.

Again, I think psychiatry has done a lot of good, and many medications do help people. But desperate individuals are still committing suicide. We need to do better.
Is the certificate or its parameters (subject/issuer/alt names/etc) available to set downstream headers (for proxy/fastcgi)? I'm sure I'm missing it, but can't see anything like that in the docs. Or is this something that is more suitable for a plugin?
This is a Very Good Thing.

I know that it is currently in vogue, with the libertarian current in our society and in the tech world in particular, to ask why prostitution should be illegal. People should have control over their own bodies, shouldn't they?

Here is the answer: many of the people selling their sexual services are not in control of their bodies. Beyond the obvious example of people forced into it by violence, there is also a huge population of people that are trying to feed themselves, or their kids, or their addictions with very few options to achieve those ends. That is not liberty.

If it were true that everyone is absolutely free to choose to engage themselves in such a way with no whiff of active or passive coercion by individuals or their circumstances, sure, they should have the choice. But when the choice is 'do this thing or die, or be in pain' that is no real choice.

This industry needs to connect to customers. Sure, something else might pop up, but at least there won't be a central repository for a while. Hopefully that makes it a less viable.

For those wondering how Canada's system works (I've been looking into it), you get points based on the following simple factors:

* Age

* Language skills (English and French, measured via standardized exams)

* Level of education

* Level of education and/or job experience in Canada

* Job offer

* Desired destination to live in (easier to move if you want to go somewhere underpopulated)

* Personal savings to prevent you becoming a burden

If you get enough points, they invite you to obtain Canadian permanent residency. If you don't, you can still get a work visa, work for a while, and re-apply later. Compared to the US immigration system, it's freakishly straightforward and reasonable.

New Zealand is even simpler: they'll just start your residency process based on the mere existence of a job offer and a few checkboxes regarding age, language, and education. They've got a whole "Move to New Zealand" website now, with pretty pictures, clear instructions, and government webpages bragging about their high quality-of-life.

It really leaves one thinking, wow, this is what a First World country acts like.

>Having toured Amsterdam on a business trip, I was surprised that, even with the easy access to weed and prostitution, taxi drivers would not take me to certain historical sites in the city because they were too dangerous.

You were fed nonsense by the taxi driver. This sentiment that only a small part of Amsterdam is safe and that the rest is overrun with crime and hard drugs is positively ludicrous and unfounded. It's blatantly untrue.

The other side of this is that victims of sex trafficking are often so emotionally attached to their pimp that arrest is sometimes the only way to separate them and force them to talk to a counselor. These women are often mentally impaired or were very young when they began "dating" (working for) their pimp. Convincing them to not just leave but testify against the person clothing, feeding, and sheltering them is a tall task.

The individual is morally responsible for all their actions, regardless of the legal system in place. The individual has no moral obligation to follow unjust laws, and in some situations a moral obligation exists to break unjust laws and to risk getting punished for it. Under no circumstance does "I was only following the law" or "I was just following orders" work as a moral defense.

Oh my. It's trivial to brute force SipHash to attack hash tables with a known seed. It's part of my hash table flood test for cperl.

Timings:

BITS SIZE TIME
8 - 255 0.003s
9 - 511 0.006s
10 - 1023 0.033s
11 - 2047 0.12s
12 - 4095 0.45s
13 - 8191 1.82s
14 - 16383 7.6s
15 - 32767 31s
16 - 65535 2m2s
18 - 262143 4m3s 23770

18-30 bit: ~4m for an attackable subset (linear time). The typical size in a kernel is 13bit.

The only SipHash security you get is seed hiding. Once you got it, it's insecure. You get the seed by various means, usually by poking into memory or by solving via order-exposure and timing attacks. This commit doesn't mention anything of it, because it followed the flawed siphash chapter 6, which only knows about chained hash tables.

So far only the linux kernel, glibc and java were the only immune hash tables to such nonsense. Now only java and glibc is remaining. I should have done that CCC talk this year about the disturbing siphash security theatre out there.

Thanks god the kernel still uses primes, so you need a full 32bit attack. But with this commit message I fear this will erode also to power of 2 sooner or later to use a simple bit test instead of mod (or the mult. trick).
Although the act of soliciting prostitution is illegal, what exactly is so wrong about this really? Backpage appears to have provided listings that allowed consenting adults to engage in business with one another.

I didn't mean it as a dig at philosophy for being simple. But I think it's true that there is less "essential technical material" to cover in philosophy. There's no equivalent to spending 3 months practicing solving differential equations.

>I believe studying the history in physics impedes understanding, because it builds up mistaken ideas that become hard to tear down.

This can be true in some cases of course, but there are also good ideas that get forgotten about or become unfashionable. And without studying the history of the discipline, you will often end up rejecting straw man versions of historical ideas rather than the ideas themselves.
>A poor kid from India or China might move to Silicon Valley or NYC and spend a decade sharing a studio with 4-5 others in his/her situation, just for the chance to escape poverty back home. Is it fair to force two people from such different backgrounds to compete?

The majority of the 20-something bearded hipsters sitting around the cafe coding away on their MBPs aren't using them because they're the best solution. They're using them because they're fashionable. When the trendsetters start using something else, the herd will follow.
Yes, and they all pretty much suck. Auto-focusing optics that can't handle a scene because the sensor thinks there's changes in focus from even the slightest noise, poor color reproduction on built-in screens, sensors sensitive to even the slightest jitter of the internal components, shutter roll effects in video, and more.
