I did a look in Zillow, and there are a few houses within 30 minute commute for under 300k. Most seem above 350k and further than 30 min, though. Which still isn't bad. But, assuming around $2,000 / month for mortgage and taxes, I'd have to make $120k+,

When I was a teenager, I thought folks like the Amish were "crazy."

After growing up in the modern world under constant surveillance, housing prices out of reach, taxes for wars abroad I don't want, and "Equihacks" I find myself yearning for the days of old.

(Would keep the antibiotics of course.)
Many moons ago, when I was young and working as a lowly IT service monkey, the client (a huge corporation) decided to migrate from their prehistoric, image-deployed Win95 setup to a centrally managed WinXP setup. This went about as terribly as you can expect and we ended up with a long checklist of things that needed fixing manually, on each of the 1200 computers we were responsible for.

So I stayed an hour or two longer every couple days and each time picked one task from the checklist and wrote a Python script that would do that job for me (such as making sure some .INI file were having the right settings, or some registry settings were set, or some installer was run).

Soon enough, the script was doing enough of my work so that my time could be spent working on the script instead of mindnumbingly editing the same INI file over and over again, and eventually the script did everything. I shared it with my colleagues and soon the 40-point checklist was reduced to: 1. Run the script.

It also provided me with excellent job security and a route into later software development jobs :)
You are right in principle but if the vast majority of the nodes are run by adversaries then to all intents and purposes it might as well be true because that directory of relays and exits contains such a large percentage of adversaries your chances of hitting one of the 'good guys' are nil.

I think you're conflating "backbone" with metro distribution.
I'm pretty sure that all of the big US ISPs have native IPv6 on the backbone, but very few can bring native IPv6 to your home.

Most of the big US ISPs are using 6rd: AT&T, CenturyLink, and Cox. As far as I know, Comcast is the only one with true IPv6 to the curb but I might be wrong about that.
It's simple.

That's the entire point of the expiration time. Use a 2 year range and it's effectively immutable. No content will stay on device forever anyway and headers can easily be set to a smaller time-frame or must-revalidate if the content owner wants it.

Browsers mistakenly continue checking for new copies when they shouldn't within the expiration time. Fixing poor implementations with more standards never works well.

Seems that the real issue is that Facebook asserts/implies they have patents relevant to React, and that they are willing to enforce them in court under certain conditions. This creates an uncertain situation. The patent grant helps somewhat, but limits your freedom of action should Facebook e.g. steal your technology. Look at the four possible scenarios:

Facebook | Your Company | Outcome

Grants patents conditionally | Does not sue Facebook | Things hum along nicely
Grants patents conditionally | Sues Facebook | You're liable for patent infringement
Doesn't grant patents | Does not sue Facebook | You're liable for patent infringement
Doesn't grant patents | Sues Facebook | You're liable for patent infringement

The patent grant is fine if you think you'll never, ever want to sue Facebook. But should a dispute arise, you'll quickly find the technological rug pulled out from under you. You've now built your entire business on Facebook's asserted IP and have no recourse but to license it or try (futilely) to defend your infringement in court.

Exactly! This is so bad. Way worse IMHO than a failed patch or default admin/admin password in terms of showing a lack of competence. Those are ops issues. This showed core issues in their ability to architect and develop secure code. This wasn't a missed patch or config file, it was flat out not knowing how to write an even remotely secure (on the wire) application.

Except it does. A taxi occupies 100% of the attention of a human being as he drives you. How the heck can you not considet his wage when asking for a price drop?

If a client is regularly very late, I send a more serious email and if they can't get a grip on it, I dump them.

So far I've never not gotten paid and only ever dumped one client who was a pain in the ass in many other ways too.

I guess my assumption is the more people you can go to in a community (or community within a community), the less likely your political belief is to target its citizens. That it presents uses signifiers and phrases from religion (ie a vehicle for rituals) doesn't alter that it's just a totalitarian political belief (self-granted permission to use violence to gain power); if anything, the radical fundamentalism comes from something like "we have been powerless because we were too pragmatic and not unreasonable enough" - imo, which pretty much confirms that the violence arises from nihilistic disavowal of religion.

Tunneled IPv6 through HE is more reliable than the average big ISP 6rd gateway but it doesn't solve the problem of latency. More than likely, you're still crossing a significant amount of network distance just to get to their gateway and then however much farther to your destination. The latency just isn't worth it.

Anyone know which are the patents in question?

Reactjs was released in 2013. I just did a quick search for a few plausible keywords on Google Scholar, and it revealed nothing.

It would be nice if Facebook would come clean as to which of the patents that they would claim cover React.

And yet - they still lose money.

Well, it is obvious that sex matters, and maybe Freud helped with the idea that sexual desire should warrant proper consideration, however I think he did more damage with his approach than he helped modern psychology.

All of his research was laughable by today's standards. Not just the details, everything. It is all misguided ideas made to look scientific. He was right on some points of course, but that's because chance make it so that even the most clueless individual can't be always wrong.

Maybe I am misguided myself but I don't know why Freud is credited so much. It looks like a lot of advances in psychology start with the refutation of one of his ideas rather than built on top of them.
Must be macOS. It looks fine for me in macOS, FWIW.
The point of the parent article is to describe how it works in depth, with a technical paper coming soon. Here's a marketing video that might help:

> Since I am very familiar with the tech, I know that IR light does not have any special properties in detecting a mask vs human skin.

Since you're familiar with the tech, you'll be aware that humans, who are alive, emit IR light which can be picked up by an IR camera, and a mask, which is not, does not.
It's not that they don't know about it, it's that they opt to selectively use it. The largest reason to avoid tech is because it removes from family values that they hold dear. This is why, when they go home, they probably don't bring their cell phone into the house.

Err... Many of them have a phone house, though some use a privy. They leave their phone in there, be it landline or mobile.

In fact, one of my most bizarre experiences was spending a year or two regularly conversing with a couple of Amish people. Why was that strange? It was on IRC. They were both away at college and, during that time, made free use of certain tech, because it didn't diminish their concept of family.

That's an interesting attack vector, in the section 3 of the RFC they recommend to ignore the directive unless it's a secure connection which would mitigate that kind of problems.

Another solution would be to use an unpredictable versioning scheme so the attacker can't anticipate the name of the resources.

Rough summary:

> At Facebook, ... we've noticed that despite our nearly infinite expiration dates we see 10-20% of requests (depending on browser) for static resource being conditional revalidation. We believe this happens because UAs perform revalidation of requests if a user refreshes the page.

> A user who refreshes their Facebook page isn't looking for new versions of our _javascript_. Really they want updated content from our site. However UAs refresh all subresoruces of a page when the user refreshes a web page. This is designed to serve cases such as a weather site that says <img src="" ...

> Without an additional header, web sites are unable to control UA's behavior when the user uses the refresh button. UA's are rightfully hesitant in any solution that alters the long standing semantics of the refresh button (for example, not refreshing subresources).
Not really a solution. It works for repeat visits to sites users visit often, it doesn't really work at scale. Users want sane defaults; most of them will never change them. A world where sites are by default as malicious as users allow them to be is not a world where the internet is a friendly and powerful resource for everyone.
- In addition, credit card numbers for approximately 209,000 U.S. consumers, and certain dispute documents with personal identifying information for approximately 182,000 U.S. consumers, were accessed.

This looks really bad. I don't know what's the point of letting them operate anymore. They utterly failed on the single thing they were supposed to do.

You'd have to be super serious about security to disable either of them. If you are a high ranking government official, or super secret spy, maybe. Because with FaceID they can't spoof it with a photo, they can't break into the secure enclave to get your facial map data, and even if they are able to take a high resolution 3D photo of your face and build an identical mask to your face, it probably won't work.

This and TouchID are the most secure authorization features ever created, because 100% of people will use them,, and less than 1% will create long passcodes.
I always thought profiles we're designed for multiple users on one login; they've been around for ages, and I assumed it was because windows 98 wasn't good with multiple profiles/users.

Isn't saying "capital should own things," not so much an ideological perspective but rather just a rephrasing of "things have costs"?
Things having costs is a fundamental fact of nature.

There is nothing in the current system that prohibits people performing work from owning the fruits of that work.

How does socialism supersede capitalism's benefit of promoting the transfer of economic value in the form of currency, or capital, from one creative realm to another which has immense creative potential over a less abstracted approach?

Are you saying that socialism basically boils down to prohibition of people owning anything that they did not make with their own hands? And I guess handmade goods can be traded? Do they lose trade potential after they've left the hands of their original creator?

I've generally seen capitalism, not as some sort of cause that emerged from some Magnum Opus and was subsequently cheered on by ideologues in the way of socialism/marxism/communism, but rather as essentially an outgrowth of fundamentally true aspects of nature. Things have costs, energy is cycled and exchanged, etc.

Not to say societies shouldn't have laws and regulations, but when you try to impose laws and regulations that run counter to natural orders and fundamental truths you inevitably run into trouble.
Only $1B? Kind of highlights that they are not that serious yet about the technology yet.
>I don't think you understand the term 'limited resources'. The opposite would be 'unlimited resources', not 'a different allocation of limited resources than I would prefer'.

Then you maybe don't understand that it doesn't take "unlimited resources" to vaccinate people, and that not all "allocations of limited resources" make sense or are to be respected or are inevitable like the laws of physics.

Like one can't use the excuse that they have "limited resources" for feeding themselves if at the same time they spend 10 times the money in trivial BS like fancy clothes or the latest and greatest smartphone -- they'd be (rightly) laughed off. Sure, they can spend their money wherever they want (it's a free country, after all) -- they just don't get to invoke "limited resources" afterwards as the reason they didn't do something that should have gotten a much bigger priority.

The same goes for societies. They can opt not to vaccinate people, but unless they are some dead poor developing world country, they don't get to use "limited resources" as the reason for doing so. Twisted sense of priorities would be a much better fit.
A large part of audiophile community is doing exactly that, using old or outdated technology, just because it feels right.
Mainly it's because it takes more willpower to do something at work. This makes sense; that's why they give you money.

1. Get enough rest, especially sleep. Without enough rest, your mind has little time to defrag. Without defragging, it wanders off easily.

2. Let your mind wander, but not at work. Avoid social media and gaming as these give your brain more things to process. Games and social media are especially dangerous because you think you're taking a break but only make yourself more tired.

3. Don't do anything tiring before work. I found my work productivity increasing greatly by avoiding morning exercise. These tap into willpower reserves.

4. Avoid caffeine. YMMV, but I found that caffeine made it difficult for me to focus. Caffeine tends to be a counter for lack of sleep.

5. Train yourself to be bored. Part of the problem is that your brain is already trained to reach for something whenever bored. When you feel the urge to look at HN or Reddit, just give yourself at least a 5 min time gap, to consider whether you really need to. Even better if you could give yourself 30-60 min gaps between the urge and the action.

GitHub's allowance of project names to be recycled is a security issue
Though I respect Jobs, I don't think he is completely correct here. We know that the networks sometime gives us what we don't want in order to push society into a certain direction. For example, the first interracial kiss in star trek caused a lot of pushback. The first gay theme in media also caused a lot of headaches for the networks. Even the Mary Tyler Moore Show, the first show about a career woman was met with resistance.

I don't think it is a conspiracy. It is just what the networks do. It influences society.

In other words, I think it's 50/50. Some times, the networks influence society and other times, society influences the networks.
