that's news to me.

a cursory google search doesn't show anything substantive (only tor browser vulnerabilities).

are you saying that tor, the protocol, is compromised? what's the basis for your claim?

we do know that state actors can break it at great expense, but that isn't really a statement about tor weakness as much as it's a statement about the resources of state actors. and for a person like RMS who is likely not a state-level threat, his use of Tor probably does provide him with some degree of protection.
Hip-Hop is pretty big again right now, driven more and more through streaming services and less on the radio.

And a lot of it is more fragmented - you have easy access to a wider variety of music both new and old than you had when the only music sources were radios and music shops, both with limited capacity.

I have always wondered about IPFS and its relationship with DNS.

What's stopping authoritarian entity from poisoning/redirecting ipfs.io to static page?
I don't see why a residential user should be worried about residential users from other ISPs being able to reach their machine usually. I suppose it would be problematic for torrenting and maybe gaming (depending on architecture of the game). But I imagine my grandmother couldn't care less if some other grandmother couldn't connect to her network directly.

90% seems really high... you'd really wait until 230 of 255 possible hosts have attempted a breakin before deciding they were on a network too dangerous to preserve your accessibility from? Are there a lot of networks where 90% of the boxes are launching attacks, but 10% have legitimate need to connect to your personal home machine?

You are missing my point - I agree entirely. Streaming services offer a (mostly) better experience than BitTorrent - but only when they are supported by the device you want, and the DRM doesn't get in the way.

My point was that DRM doesn't stop anyone torrenting the content - it only takes one person to break it, which will happen. It does mean some people won't be able to watch the content legally, which will push them away from the legal option.

The only thing DRM really stops is the "let me give you a copy" friend-to-friend copying, which is the equivalent of sharing a VHS copy back in the day. Is stopping that really worth pushing people away from your legal option?

The only goal that matters for an early stage startup is product/market fit. If you can demonstrate traction you can raise money to buy yourself more time.

Nothing, but that would hopefully primarily encourage people to set up IPFS clients themselves instead of relying on the public bridge.

(Which is IMHO one of the weaknesses of IPFS, that they haven't made that more prominent/easier, through browser plugins or a dedicated IPFS-browser. Compare to e.g. the publicity boost Dat got from Beaker Browser)

Fairchild Semiconductor: The 60th Anniversary of a Silicon Valley Legend
Hmm, I hadn't thought about cloud providers. Public hotspots, residential ISPs, and countries behind firewalls aren't really something I expect most home users really need their home network to be accessed by. But blocking connections from cloud providers would be unworkable. I suppose lots of automated SSH attacks would be coming from cloud providers... maybe there are few enough they could be whitelisted?

It's okay if they change core business. The problem is when employees do what they didn't sign up for, or when they focus on things that are not the core business (e.g. consulting or some other company held by the same owner).
>My view has been that a pretty solid chunk of inflation has already happened, in the housing market, as measured by the change in house prices since ~Y2K, and by the expansion of the Fed's balance sheet by ~2T in MBS purchases.

Asset inflation is a rather distinct thing from across-the-board inflation, which would have to include wages.
This seems consistent with my experience that when I'm attending hard to a task I have no idea what it is like.

>For instance, it is the occurrence of a sense perception that triggers the metacognitive realization one is perceiving something. N, in turn, evokes X by directing attention back to it: the realization one is perceiving something naturally shifts one’s mental focus back to the original perception. So we end up with a back-and-forth cycle of evocations whereby X triggers N, which in turn evokes X, which again triggers N, and so forth.

This also seems plausible since we can't perceive a new thing accurately without a prior expectation of what it's like. This could be solved by an iterative cycle of increasing realisticness and accuracy.
That sort of "the kids aren't alright" sentiment of this piece is especially rich:

"On the one hand, I know she's safe, she's not out getting pregnant or smoking pot or drinking or doing all kinds of risky stuff that I can imagine would be age appropriate,"she said. But Haskew wonders whether her daughter is missing out on life lessons those behaviors can teach. "Is that stuff necessary for human development, do you have to be risk-taking as a teenager in order to succeed as an adult?"

So these articles and parents, after years if not decades of after school specials and anti-drug classroom crusades and rubber playgrounds and helicopter parenting and initiatives to make everything about childhood as safe and as convenient as possible, are now suddenly regretting their kids not experiencing teen pregnancies or youth drug abuse? After making the world a safer place- and a more scary place through relentless hysteria and moral panics- they now think their kids are too soft and coddled? Sponsor scouting organizations or summer camps or apprenticeship programs or study abroad if you think your kids aren't experiencing the real world enough. Don't romanticize the same risky behaviors that you lobbied to abolish in the first place.
Would you be interested in open sourcing that?
Your first link, there is truth to it, the most obscure and small stuff won't be pirated. Does that matter? I don't think anyone is only looking to defend things that are that obscure. Anything with even a middling number of people interested has it's DRM blasted through very quickly as far as I see.

Your second point, Denouvo is for video games and is a very different ballpark - it turns out storing code to lock things down is a lot easier in an executable vs in a video. DRM is certainly more effective in games (although the evidence is it causes way more problems for legitimate users, and Humble Bundle et al have proven that users prefer legitimate options when they are easy and affordable).
> less money to spend on sex

This one doesn't need money ;) I would suspect other things being equal, hanging about with little to do would that costs money would encourage socialisation and sex.

Anecdotally, I feel kids are more mature in many ways than my generation (I'm late 30's). They have total access to information and I suspect this helps them learn to see the world faster.

As for less drinking/drugs, I wonder if smartphones have a big impact. In my youth we'd underage drink with friends and get a bit loose. Now days that behaviour would get uploaded fast and probably stop us doing it.
> what if someone connecting doesn't have a static IP?

Whitelist your ISPs subnet then, at the very least - there's much lower probability of an attacker coming from just your ISPs, and, of course, use other measures too - I didn't mean that to be the only solution for the problem.
Or you could have spent that dev time on product/market fit, growth, or making your customers happy instead.

The cost calculus doesn't usually switch until you've pretty far along on solving those things.
I'd also lean towards your hypothesis since there are many, many contraceptive and anti-STD choices -more than used to be available to other gens.
Would suggest easily-available adult content might play a large role. Its existence blunts the hormonal challenges faced by young men. Cars used to be a way for young couples to find privacy away from parents/guardians a la "Animal House," but in a world with substitute goods that's no longer as strong a requirement. Lack of cars also makes it harder for large groups of teens to congregate, a la "Dazed and Confused" and reduces the peer pressure effects that lead many to drink and smoke.

Those are two different things.
Research suggests 'honest grading' is a pipe dream anyway. The book 'A Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives' dedicates most of its final chapter to grading. Even people specifically trained to grade to a very strict standard were incapable of doing so when they knew almost anything at all about the student.
Thanks for the quick response.

How does this coincide with the 3.1.1 release though? I was still on 3.0.15 and there are new features and other fixes in 3.1.x. Do the new features and the other fixes happen to be reasonably tested and ready already?

I only came across this last night, so haven't had a chance to test yet. Supposedly reduces the cold-start VPC delay significantly.
This isn't much lock-in though. It's just a way to server a bunch of static files. It would take a little effort to port it to google cloud or a random file server, but not that much effort.
But it can be!

Not to be old, but I had many friends get into Snapchat for a hot minute. My wife and I never did. Instagram let us share photos. Snapchat seemed like just gimmicky cat ears and showboating. The platform very much feels like "look at me" not "hey I had this cool experience and I want to share it."

Full disclosure: I bought a bunch of snapchat stock at the bottom because I fully invest in the self-centeredness of humankind. Worked great w/ FB.

(Article author here.) I'm one of the interviewers. If I had to guess, maybe a third of our generalist-track interview is web-related. I've personally interviewed many engineers who did not know the first thing about any web stuff, but were particularly strong on other sections, so we accepted them.

You really don't have to be great at every section to pass the Triplebyte interview; you just have to show your personal areas of strength. And we give you lots of different opportunities to do that.

Of course, we will then match you with appropriate roles and avoid the ones that require web-specific skills. FYI, we already have robotics, financial, and game companies on our platform!
The story is covered in the new section, about 8 items down when I looked. Either way, the app is ranking the stories based on shares - some things will trend more than others and float to the top, and other things might get hidden. Perhaps the creator could implement a way to pin stories that are obviously newsworthy to the top to prevent them being overshadowed by less newsworthy items. This does introduce a level of curation to the app, which may take more time than the maintainer wishes to devote to this project.

The pattern I've seen is that AWS makes sense for startups, then you hit a point where you need a hundred hosts in a couple of data centers and you can do that more cheaply with raw hardware and a small team to handle it. Then you hit a point where you need thousands or tens of thousands of servers in multiple countries and you need to handle legal and logistic concerns and it's better to be in AWS (or GCE or whatever) again. That's the reason I've heard that Netflix and a lot of the other big companies are there.
How to Treat Trading Like a Business
> while hosting my own sync service

A late reply but I thought I'd chime in.

You also need to host your own accounts service and all its dependencies (assets, tokenserver, profile), unless you trust Mozilla to be not forced/coerced to compromise your security. Even with auto-updates disabled, the Firefox Accounts login form is served from the network, so a paranoid user must be very cautious if any of their browsers suddenly asks to re-authenticate.

Also, note that Sync is now consists of two pieces: there is Sync 1.5 server and there is Kinto (which is used to store WebExtensions data). This is usually not mentioned in the "host your own Sync 1.5 server" articles, but here are the details: https://wiki.mozilla.org/CloudServices/Sync/ExtensionStorage...

If you're fully self-hosting you need to install the latter as your tokens aren't working for Mozilla's one (so basically your WE-based extensions can't sync anything). If you're only hosting your own Sync but not Accounts, you should be aware that some of your data is stored at Mozilla's services instead of your own server.
If you'd been interviewed in that way, probably you didn't want that position anyway. Unless it was an interview with Google, in that case they advertise upfront - they have high false negative rate.

The Asynchronous Computability Theorem
You took that out of context.

Monetary regulation protects, supposedly. It may protect individuals against losing money in stupid schemes. But it didn't save us from the recent massive and costly market crashes which hurt far more people than a few loan sharks ever could.

The rich use regulation to control markets, that's why the gaps are growing between rich and poor people.

Regulation protects from both sides. It can protect you from getting rich too, by loading barriers to your opportunities.

Look at climate change - if you want to use another regulatory framework as an example of governmental regulatory failure.

Did environmental regulation stop climate change? No it became a tool for lobbyists to use to delay changes to the market that would harm profits. A protectionist racket, full of do good fools who think they know best.

Regulation is a tool used by governments to control stuff. Look at what is broken in the world - regulation is a huge factor in that.

The answer to regulation is self education.

“Testosterone Rex” triumphs as Royal Society science book of the year
I get that there's in-species competition, and that the successful competitors will come to dominate, perhaps completely.

But what I'm thinking is that when a species is established in a niche, the direction of that competition is arbitrary rather than being limited to competing for resources. Once the level of resources needed to procreate are generally available, the individuals can compete over anything at hand.

As you say, "fitness" is a key concept, but fitness for what? If you don't need more resources, then on what basis are you competing to be more fit?

If you happen to be a social tool using species, then it could be based on those things: more complex and subtle social structures (and the language to support that), more complex and subtle tool use (and the abstract thinking to support that).

That Google one uses a similar naming scheme to the servers used for video data for YouTube etc.

You just made me realize something, though. The Google and AWS examples you gave won't be able to do this, but if you set up wildcard DNS and tell DNS that you have your own nameserver via CNAME aliasing, you could make your software do a lookup for eg something like "bm9ib2R5IHdpbGwgZXZlciBub3RpY2UgaWYgSSB0cmFuc21pdCBkYXRhIGxpa2UgdGhpcyEKCg.example.com" and exfiltrate data via DNS request in the process. The server could then return 127.0.53.53 to mean "ACK; data received OK", whereas NXDOMAIN or any other error would mean to try again.

Hmmmmm. Wondering if I should delete this...

Toyota's previous generation of head units (all Entune-branded, started rolling out in 2013/2014) used different hardware platforms and OSes, depending on the supplier. But they all ran a UI that was virtually identical, although there were some very minor differences.

The Panasonic-made units ran QNX, Pioneer and Fujitsu Ten units ran Linux. Presumably this means no more QNX.

The issue presented at the beginning of the article is (as most philosophical issues are) one of semantics. Philosophers as I understand it use "consciousness" as the quality shared by things that are able to have experiences. A rock gets wet by the rain, but humans "feel" wet when it rains. A bat might not self-reflect but it feels /something/ when it uses echo-location.

On the other hand, conciseness in our everyday use of the term is very tied to the idea of attention and awareness, i.e. a "conscious action" or an "unconscious motivation". This is a very Freudian concept, that there are thoughts we think and others that lay behind. The philosophical consciousness is much more holistic, but also very vague. You wouldn't think a tree has an Ego, but it might have some sort of existential awareness.

It's cool to see the philosophy of consciousness intersect with neuroscience, since outsiders like me tend to think of these fields as at-odds.
