That's because for all the talk about Google its network engineering drives networks like a buzzed 19 year old drives his fathers Porsche.

Google does not believe in BGP filtering. They just don't. When someone brings up a BGP peering with Google that someone announces any prefixes to Google without first registering it. When asked "Huh? How do you ensure that I do not announce someone else's address space to you" Google's response becomes something akin to "We are Google, we have a very complicated system that prevents that from happening. It will detect the issue and address it automatically. We would build your filter lists based on those announcements" At the same time, the same people say that prefixes advertised to Google over PNIs take hours to propagate across the entire Google network.

BGP filtering of prefixes to the address space registered to the peer is a basic hygiene, something that Google simply does not believe it has to do.

Graphene does not appear to be a superconductor, but apparently the enhanced conductivity is due to electrons forming interesting structures which lower the scattering effects of the atomic lattice. It reminded me about Cooper pairs, hence the joke.
The final stage usually uses the tomcat docker image or just the alpine java image and copies the jar/war files in there without building anything.
Ah no, it's 5.58 for the current 22%. If it actually gets to 60% it would be much worse.

Years ago we had a small, in house, departmental server room at Stanford. It was by no means industrial strength but we did our best on a limited budget (security, climate control, battery backups, disaster recovery procedures, etc). One night we all got pinged about impending server failures with 30 minutes to respond before the UPS ran out of juice. Turns out the cleaning crew needed an outlet for their vacuum cleaner and decided to unplug one rack of servers to finish up their shift. This episode reminds me of a favorite haiku:

We think about risks.

We have contingency plans.

Oops…but not for that.

> I've come up with a method that relies on maths that most programmers would not be familiar with

I'm curious about the kind of math you have used for solving the problem.
I think in the far future, cloud computing and the web will morph into a single entity where you will login to your cloud. This idea of identifying yourself prior to accessing your resources and having your resources connect to others doesn't seem far fetched anymore.

Especially with the way we are moving. Most people today are happy to use sso with services like facebook or google. Most people also have their real identify tied to their core profile they use to sign on to other services. The abstraction between the internet and the cloud is becoming more blurry to a internetizen that is technologically ignorant.
OP ruled it out because it's not free, but private projects are free for low-volume testing.
That business domain knowledge can sometimes be more important than technical knowledge. Spend time learning whatever problem space your code serves.

It's usually a faster path to become known as a go to person as well.
In my case because it was - own office in a building 15 minute walk from where I live as the only developer working on an interesting problem Vs a 7 mile commute by public transport to work on a less interesting problem in an open office with 30 other Devs.

It just wasn't even a choice for me, the final kicker is employer operates a strict 9-5 policy for work, not had that expectation on a Dev job in a long time.

At this point I think the entire case needs to be thrown out, or settled. Leave Kim alone. This entire mess really should've never gotten this far.
Yeah, the inflation is a tax more or less. It's a tax on your holdings to pay for the security and integrity of the network, and to make sure things keep moving forward.

Bitcoin is nearing the point where most security will be paid by fees instead of inflation, but imo inflation is the more fair model to pay for security.

>The Chinese government sees pervasive control of society as a primary political objective and their grip on the domestic internet gives them that.

You perfectly described the ethos of the US Christian Film industry, which is why, in my perspective, their products are consistently inferior on an Objective basis because they start with a premise first and work backwards. As long as there is a "function" of Something to be achieved, the Something itself ceases to be the achievement. I doubt the Chinese government cares much about this dichotomy, which, to me, is kind of reassuring. Self-sabotage is quite often the most effective avenue to hindering progress.
This sounds similar to South Korea, or perhaps the scheme Russia is attempting to implement.
A piece of interesting trivia about the Languedoc region: its name literally means the place where people prononce "yes" as "oc" (well, "the 'oc' language"). It's as if Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas" were in a region named "the drawl zone"

Actually Occitan is now a dead language, and at the time it was current, nobody pronounced "yes" as "oui" yet either. But the name persists.
Thanks for that explanation. I'm not 100% on BGP yet, although I do want to learn more about it.

It sounds like Google's SDN (software-designed networking) stack had a glitch then. I read an overview of that a while ago, I think I got it from HN. https://www.nextplatform.com/2017/07/17/google-wants-rewire-...

On a side note, I'm aware that BGP and similar "super-large-scale" infrastructure can be examined using publicly-accessible resources, but the sites out there are mostly geared toward people doing lookups for specific info, not people who want to learn. That's completely understandable, but as someone who learns more easily if something is tangible and "tinkerable", it's difficult for me to look at these sites and make the effort to [get oriented and then] piece everything together. How can I go "oooh, I get it" looking at the data from these sites?

I'm also vaguely aware you can take the TCP/IP stacks on Linux (and probably Windows) completely to bits and put everything back together so the OS speaks BGP over Ethernet (or something equivalent) instead. It would be kind of cool if I could do that and then actually use the connection, with BGP setup as a replacement for standard IP addresses... if I could do that I'd actually leave everything configured that way, and thus be able to tinker with it. Sure, people don't generally connect their systems together via BGP - but BGP is used to transfer data (in the sense of "link-layer protocol"), right? I'm going to learn something.
Wow, this is a baffling concept to me. Even in person I don't have to identify myself to purchase a ticket and watch.
Have you studied Numerical Analysis? There is an entire panoply of approximation methods, I highly doubt your method is entirely novel.
Haha, happened to me! Didn't see this until after I posted a reply to the parent :)
This is satire on HN right?
I honestly think this guy is a fraud and a complete idiot, but the state really did wrong here, so I have to agree. If this isn't thrown out, then what ever will?
> Occitan is now a dead language

What?? This is completely false. There are hundreds of thousands of native Occitan speakers alive today.
> In short, you're overestimating the risks and underestimating the level of safety attainable with these products.

No. When it comes to things that might produce fire inside your house, there is no such thing as overestimation. You cannot be over protective when it comes to fire safety.

This is one way to look at it.

The type of business Doubleclick engages in is neither efficient nor effective on most web users but it causes a pervasive wide scale annoyance to all who enounter Doublclick's tentacles. One could argue that Doubleclick (now Google) must retain a certain level of schadenfreude to pollute the web with their garbage for so long knowing that, in the main, they are only creating a nuisance for web users, not generating revenue for their customers. If a salesman has to knock on thousands of doors to find only a single buyer, there is always the chance communities close their gates to keep the salesman out. Clearly, most people living in the community are not interested in what he is selling.
Is it reasonable to annoy thousands of people to find one person who will buy? Who knows? But certainly, one can expect that there will be thousands of annoyed people.

Another way to look at this, especially after Google acquired Doubleclick, is that it could be the customers purchasing ads who are being deceived. It is hard to imagine that web users are deceiving Doubleclick and Google by clicking on ads and not purchasing products. Doubleclick knows most users do not click and do not purchase products/services in response to these ads. But those purchasing ads may not know this. The information asymmetry is in Google's favor.

These "adnauseum" users appear to be acting out of frustration in response to the promulgation of advertising that Google knows most users are not interested in. They are not achieving any financial gain, and certainly not by deceiving others.

It is easier to imagine a situation where those parties buying ads are being deceived by Doubleclick to believe that certain web advertising is more efficient, effective and reliable than it truly is. Hence the refunds.

Users are entitled to click on whatever they so choose. If they become frustrated and start clicking on everything, it is hard to argue this is "fraudulent" or deceptive. They are expressing themselves honestly: they are frustrated. The possibility that users can click on anything and everything in a page presented to them has always been there; buyers of web advertising should be aware of this when engaging a web ad sales company. Leading them to believe otherwise might be deceptive or even "fraudulent".
Over the years I learned, through trial and error, that cheap French wine hardly ever compares favorably with wine from New Zealand and Australia at the same price point. More recently it's become true of Spanish wine, too.

I don't know whether it's because the French export their worst wine (or perhaps I just have no taste), but since the French themselves are drinking less of it, I can't help but think that complacency has crept in somewhere.
Depends on how well established the company is. If it's a startup, your first day or week will probably contain zero Java programming.

You'll be running and writing bash commands, installing tons of dependencies, editing configurations in vim (.bashrc, /etc/hosts), figuring out why static assets aren't loading or some docker container won't come up. Something will go wrong and you'll need to ask for help, so find a buddy asap.

At the end of the day, look at your bash history. If you're hundreds of commands deep in setup, document it and make sure the next dev doesn't go through what you had to.
french wines have AOC, like italian wines have DOC, and similar things exist elsewhere.

That basically only guarantees the origin of the grapes/wine, not quality, so it seems (generally) implicit that if a geographical indication is not present the wines are from "unspecified" locations, isn't that enough?
If you want to do it properly, then you'd have to describe how the number of significant digits of the result grows in the number of iterations.
Don't underestimate the emotional response from the people who've done this their entire life with the cumulated savoir-faire and effort of several generations. The grape is a huge cultural thing here.

(Disclaimer: I'm french and had said emotional reaction. I don't even particularly like wine)
No that's that makes blockchain so fascinating. It operates well in countries with no infrastructure. Bitcoin is incredibly popular in Venezuela despite being completely illegal and actively hunted by the government, and despite the who country being very unstable.

You can't use a blockchain to protect your land rights, but you can use it to protect digital rights and that means you don't need external resources like courts to spend their time on digital rights. They can focus entirely on land conflicts and other physical matters, which will make them cheaper overall.
Um. Here's the first part of Clojure's docs [0]. Compare and contrast: "A pitch is a frequency. 440Hz is an A pitch. There are twelve pitches. Each pitch differs from the previous pitch by the multiplicative constant twelfth-root-of-two. Twelve pitches in a row doubles the frequency, creating an octave." It only takes four or five paragraphs to mathematically describe the basis for chromatic notation.

If Clojure fully contained all its abstractions, then it would not have the option of calling into the JVM.

Clojure does not have the property that cutting any fragment of a valid program yields a valid program. There are languages in the concatenative style which have this property, but even there, the ability to compose does not guarantee the ability to split.

If you think that types produce reliability, then you do not understand types.

You seem dedicated to Clojure, which is great, but music is thousands of years older and has figured out a lot of stuff. I think that you also missed my bigger point, which is that programming is roughly at the same point in its art that cave painting was at hundreds of thousands of years ago. If you think that Lisps are beautiful and Clojure is the pinnacle, then I think that you don't know beauty. But it's not your fault; you've never seen anything beautiful. None of us have. And none of us ever will, at the current rate of progress.

Here, have a video to provoke some thoughts: [1]

I wasn't talking about comparing the toxic byproducts of various forms of energy production, although that would be an illuminating exercise.

I was simply pointing out that when talking about potential danger from a given substance, the absolute amount, X ft^3, doesn't tell us much with knowing more about the substance's potential for deleterious effects at a given quantity of the substance.

If deleterious effects start at X * 4, X is less concerning. If deleterious effects start at X * .0000000004, X is more concerning.

I've got this little thimble full of material, just a small thimble. No big deal right? I'll just leave it laying somewhere around your house.

Would your assessment of this situation change if you knew it was a thimble full of cyanide?

P.S. I didn't mean for my original post to sound hostile, though with it's conciseness and using 'worthless,' I could understand such an interpretation. I have no problems with this line of analysis, I'm a fan and found the visual it provided interesting. I just intended to point out that if the intention was to give a sense of the danger posed by nuclear waste produced over the past 60 years, then the analysis was incomplete for the reasons stated above.

P.P.S Is the amount of toxic waste produced by solar vs nuclear per unit of energy produced in any way comparable? If so that would no doubt be of interest to the world at large.
Do you need a referral to submit to arxiv? I recall when wanting to submit a paper there a few years ago you had to get someone who's already published to vouch for you. Am I reading correctly?
Everything sucks becauase tech is no longer a niche market for nerds. You're no longer in the target audience... I feel your pain.
Then describe how you would implement it using CMOS logic.
There're a lot of people here telling you how to "protect" your idea, and a lot of people telling you that it's probably not novel. I just wanted to comment and congratulate you on figuring out a method that's novel to you; it's a legitimate discovery for you and should be celebrated even if someone else has already found it.
My last job was a political hellhole where they imported new management and new management imported their friends and marginalized the people who built the company pre-aquisition.
That's pretty good. United is around $500 one-way for trans-oceanic upgrades to business plus around 25K miles. A pretty decent bargain over just buying a business class ticket but not a trivial cost either. I do it now and then but I'm selective.

As a new manager, the biggest transition you have to make is going from an individual contributor to a coach. Your success will now be determined by how well your direct reports perform. You can't do the work for them, but you can teach them how to do the work well.

1. Since your boss's boss likes you, ask him for who else you should meet in the company. For meeting people outside the organization, go to industry events and try to form relationships with your peers at other organizations. Again, you can ask your boss's boss which industry events you should go to. I wrote about it more in depth on my blog: http://www.climbuptheladder.com/networking-more-than-linkedi....

2. The best way to overcome people unhappy with your promotion is to make them look good with their bosses. When they do a good job, let their boss know what a great job they did. If these people report to you, let your boss know that they did a good job. Over time, they will be less threatened by you when they see that you are on their side.

3. If your manager is scared that you'll replace him, you need to show him know that you're on his side. Again, when he does a good job on something, let his boss know. Ultimately, show your manager that you have his back so he'll feel less threatened.

4. If you are managing a team of 8 developers, you'll likely get a little bit of time to do technical work occasionally. You will certainly spend a lot of time helping the junior people who report to you with their technical work. Other than that, you can try doing some side projects to stay in touch. But other than that, remember that you are no longer an individual contributor so technical skills aren't going to be very important for promotions in the future. You need to demonstrate that you understand how to run a successful team and that you understand the business side.

I wrote about how to be a great manager on my blog which could add some more insights: https://www.climbuptheladder.com/how-to-be-a-great-manager/.
Yes, but they will link you to a mobile number and then require that you confirm your number on grounds that they cannot identify you from your login. Gmail did not have my number confirmed until I moved and they locked me out of my email, despite answering all security questions. Theory and practice can be very different.
I'm not sure I agree with that answer. I just tried signing up to test this and after submitting was asked for a phone number to verify. The first form didn't require a phone but after that it redirected to a page with a link to https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/114129?hl=en&ctx=... that referencing GSuite verification.
>13 participants 60 and older...

Oh we can just throw this shit right out. 13 participants? 60 and older in the US?

How about some controls for Diet, Exercise, and other general, you know, basic science shit? No? Well then allow me to just go ahead and call this study "statistically insignificant to the point of being potentially misleading" because I have pretty high expectations when it comes to rigor in academic study. This is what Northwestern chooses to highlight?

Point being, I grew up sleeping with Bach, John Jarvis, and Yngwie Malmsteen music for 20+ years. I think shoving a few cutesy-noise waves into the ears during rest is probably nice, like having a good pillow or decent sheets, but otherwise highly over-stated. This 13 person old fogey study means jack-shit in the big picture.

Want to have some real fun?

Let's get the Neural Network "Music" that Google is Researching to play during the sleep of 60 year olds and find out how that goes over. All these tech-approaches to very primal emotional pathways are disturbing to be on a general principle, mostly because not a single one of them has shown anything other than Placebo-esque results, and when placed against a control group, fail. Bonus hypothesis: The Google Machine Learning Music actually drives the Elderly Insane.

> Those who are enslaved are exploited for the financial gain of their captors. The vulnerable are made to work in cruel conditions for long hours without pay. Examples include women and girls forced into prostitution for profit, young boys made to commit criminal acts against their will and men kept in slave-like conditions in factories.

> Last year there was a total of 3805 recorded victims of modern slavery in the UK, a 17% increase on the year before. Victims came from 108 different countries, with the top 3 being Albania, the UK and Vietnam (find out more on the Resources page).

> In 2016 the most common types of exploitation for adults and children in the UK, where known, were labour exploitation and sexual exploitation. Individuals in the UK are exploited for labour in various places of work, from hotels to farms, boats to building sites and nail bars to cannabis factories. Labour exploitation spans the agricultural, hospitality, fishing and construction sector. In addition, people are exploited for sexual purposes, including forced prostitution, escort work and pornography.
> Can you provide some sources for this?

As I understand it Africans are the main labour source for many farms in Spain.
