What else do you do when people start calling your beliefs into question? You fall back on facts and expert sources to back up your assertions. And I believe I'm still the only person to have done so in this direct thread, even if only through a Huffington post article. But the point of that article wasnt that it was from the Huffington post, but that they had an expert source, and that's who I referenced.

I was a bit incredulous when I referenced someone that k rw that they were talking about and it was ignored. I'm even more so now when I'm actually being called out for bringing some expert information to this pissing contest.

It is? Physical location is pretty far down my list of reasons I use cloud providers. Certainly, API-driven resource provisioning is way higher, as is pay-for-what-you-use costing.
Isn't this a security thing? I'm not anything close to a security expert, but I always understood that it was best not to have your personal computer exposed directly to the Internet. Not to mention just having control over my own network.

Also, my ISP only gave me one ipv6 address. I'm OK with that.
Eh, I don't think blogs are really that equivalent to old school websites. Blog, being short for "web log" implies a temporal-based feed of posts. Old school sites were often much more varied, webs of pages broken up by subject or topic with links scattered everywhere to the rest of the web.

Things You Need to Know About Twitter Marketing Right Now
At the core of the cloud paradigm and the centralized/decentralized issue lies no technical problems but a political one about control and privacy invasion.

The only reason why we have youtube instead of VLC + eDonkey packages are because of lawsuits. It is a technological solution from 15 years ago that is technologically superior and much harder to censor.

Datacenters and "cloud-based" services do not answer to a technical problem but to a political one: how do we control information flow in a decentralized net? The answer: provide bottleneck of information for free.

Richard Hendricks, is that you?
I never understood the difference between Mainframe Computers / Computing and Cloud Computers / Computing.

In both cases, a centralized server connected to the internet does all your application, storage and processing. If that server goes down / connection is lost, in both cases you and your "SaaS" applications are SOL ( Sh*t Out of Luck). Also in both cases, you offer hackers a centralized location to target and hack.

What's the difference, except in the name and in the marketing ?
I know a bunch of people who use Tor in various ways that does not in any way involve a browser at all, and the ramifications of an attack at these two levels (in the routing stack vs. in the app layer) are very different. I appreciate why Ars Technica's headline is what it is, but this is Hacker News.
>Really this could be a good evidence to support the idea that we all think alike.

Our ability to think is extremely adaptable. I doubt we all think alike (apart from the general mechanism and macro structures).

One old experiment was to completely flip someone's vision upside down (with mirrors in goggles). It generally took people a week or two to adapt, but then their brains could once again link their visual input with other sensory input. They clearly didn't have the same internal logic as others (since their brains had to reverse the image), but because they received constant feedback on the results of their logic, their brains made them understand the world the same way everyone else does.

Mars has no magnetosphere.

Estimates are that people exploring Mars will have to spend 20 hours a day under 10+ meters of rock to protect from solar radiation alone. I don't believe this protects from the GCR.

Much of that time in the cave will be spent on the conical treadmill to make up for the .3g low gravity. The impact on human biology over longer term is unknown.

I think for actual work, living and use space is almost uninhabitable without the active shielding problem being solved. Risking cancer for a select few isn't the issue, its making space a place humans can live.

However with active shielding, approaches like L5 colonies and in deep space become viable. They could be made far more human habitable then any of the planets or moons.
>> For example in IOS 10 to enable night mode was -> "Swipe up, tap" done. In iOS 11 it now requires 2 swipes, a long press then a tap.

I'm not seeing this "2 swipes, a long press then a tap"?
I understand I should not have done this but my point was that the damaging review has nothing to do with my 10 day 'official stay'.

The appt was available to rent locally via the same agent. From my point of view, I wasn't breaking any terms since my airbnb stay had ended.

The malicious review is part of a story the agent is telling the owner so he doesn't look bad. The dispute arose from the money he was adding for himself - the owner likely knew nothing about this.

I have asked airbnb not to publish the review, I haven't asked them to do anything else.

If you don't already use one, install an adblocker such as µblock.

You could disable JavaScript too, but I don't think the web is usable without it.

You could also investigate Opera Mini, I think they download and compress the web-pages before sending them to you (however they have access to all your history, nothing is free in this world).
Now compare that to the current model of nickel and diming for every single thing and charging a 90% margin on traffic, and you’ll see why this is not attractive to the current players.
These days, though, there's an odd mix of typists, because everyone is self taught, and most people have begun typing as soon as they learn how to read and write.

Both touch typing and hunt and peck typing are in severe decline. Mobile devices have created all kinds of mutants, and no one gives a shit about "the home row" anymore. I watch those old videos about posture and training oneself to type without looking at the keyboard by typing endless garbage over and over, and I have to laugh, because I've never seen anything less important seem like such obvious brainwashing.

I agree! I'd never thought of using tor, but I had very similar ideas about an engine that doesn't index a site if it has ads, etc.
I had an idea of using a delayed response in order to lessen the hardware requirements. So a user submits a query, then checks back later for a response. A little bit like a traditional library, haha!
Anyway, i'm really glad to hear others are doing similar stuff, I think there is a market. The info is out there, it's just lost in a sea of noise.
With an implementation like Whonix, arguably the only safe and (relatively) easy way to use Tor, this exploit wouldn't have worked. The Tor Project's insistence on placing ease of use above security is admirable and understandable, but it provides a very false sense of security for the majority of users, to the point where it can potentially be detrimental.

We sometimes take for granted our intelligence in this domain and forget that the average Tor user doesn't know shit about opsec.

Just last week I found out a relative has been exploring Tor behind a VPN, and try as I may, I couldn't make them understand what a MitM attack was. They just read from a random page on the internet that it was safer to use a VPN and didn't bother doing research because frankly, how would they know what to look for?
Let's say you have a system running some sort of RAID such that the remaining, online disks are all critical (meaning if any additional disks fail, you lose all your data). I can imagine a scenario where the system has some way of predicting whether one of the remaining disks are close to failure. If the system believes that one of the disks is close to failing, then I could see if refusing to perform some very I/O intensive task until the system health is restored (allowing for a manual-override, of course).
Any virtual or physical general AI being can sooner or later build a copy itself, easily in the former. Asymov's laws and other type of built-in regulations in scifi are childish imaginations as the company or the nation doing it will earn a huge advantage. It's going to be equal to nuclear weapons and will need regulations in consumer tech, which will be hard.

All the contradictions point to the fact that we humans either live like retarded biological animals or augment ourselves by integrating the AI features just like our kings married the women of the enemies to boost their genetic and social appeal. I'm for the latter.
I don’t want to come across as too skeptical since increased supply will certainly apply downward price pressure. But, I’ve been seeing this argument so often recently that I need to question it. Can you provide contrasting examples of places of similar high population growth where the deregulated ones’ home prices stayed substantially lower than the regulated ones?

I ask this because I believe that demand is the primary influencer of home prices, not supply. I’m open-minded though. So, to challenge my assumptions, I even briefly looked at several of the fastest growing cities of the past couple years (with several in Texas). However, even areas that I assumed had lower regulation and less zoning still had substantial annual price increases.

To me, the only way that you can reduce housing costs is to decrease demand.

This is what I thought -- why would you neet Network Address Translation (NAT) when the address space is big enough to have everyone have an individual address? No need to traverse a router, it just becomes another hop in the chain.

This is a new problem I haven't heard about. Thanks for adding it to the discussion.

And here, I don't know. I think I exclaimed confidently that this is a super old algorthim. What is new about it, that you need to mention it again? Really, may be that I'm misinterpreting something, or forgetting something, but the algorithm itself I'm quite sure I discussed with Go AI scientists in 2005 who had them in all their bots, afaik. Please correct if you believe my memory is cheating me here.

FeepingCreature mentioned this:

> One of the hopes for IPv6 was that it'd deliver us from IP address scarcity and hence the need for NAT and all the associated difficulty of NAT traversal.

My response:

> This is what I thought -- why would you neet Network Address Translation (NAT) when the address space is big enough to have everyone have an individual address? No need to traverse a router, it just becomes another hop in the chain.
It's my understanding that this exploit wouldn't work with a hidden service because there is no way for your machine to know how to connect to it directly and the connection must be established through the Tor network, unlike a regular website. Is this not the case?
Oh, this is so true. Just the other day I was thinking how hard it is to find reviews of non-tech products. I was lloking for information on a new fridge and what I came up with was useless marketing crap and what seemed like affiliate-link collections dressed up as review sites.

The Wirecutter fills this role with in-depth reviews, but their selection is limited and I prefer to have multiple sources when comparing products.

User reviews aren't helpful to me. They are very subjective, may value different attributes of a product and disappointed customers seem to have a greater incentive to broadcast their negative experience. The fact that your fridge broke down isn't necessarily representative of the product.

Another task Google is really bad at, is finding results by lyrics. As a music enthusiast and crate digger I often search for obscure, rare music I hear in sets, mixes and bootleg recordings. If there are vocals it's an obvious attempt to search for the lyrics - mostly without results. On the other hand the song I'm looking for is very likely up on Youtube, which has a surprisingly large selection of rare music uploaded by other collectors. Yet it's impossible to find those uploads by searching for the lyrics featured in them. Google should use its powers to auto-transcribe music on YouTube to lyrics. Sure, there will be a lot of mistakes, but it should be enough to give some results.
Yeah, you're right. This would be one of the cases where it makes sense to change the title.
> Why does the author implicitly assume that the amount of spare local storage is enough for the swarm+redundancy? Furthermore how many backups are required for data to ensure the same level of protection as a modern cloud provider? Does the math even work?

It isn't really a problem. N+M erasure coding is very efficient. Even if the average node only has 40% uptime, that means on average you can recover the data with only 2.5 distributed copy-equivalents. You would want slightly more than that in case the specific nodes end up having below average reliability, but the numbers are completely reasonable.

Moreover, for anything which is shared with a non-trivial number of people, each person would have a full copy which means the level of built-in redundancy is already massive overkill and there is no need to spend third party storage on any additional redundancy at all.
I find the opposite to be true. If you casually add dependencies without understanding the dependency tree, you have a lot of problems waiting to happen.

I prefer to be conservative about adding dependencies, and to always manually include them into the project.
Your ISP likely gave you a single IP address for your router, and will happily also give you a /64 or larger for your internal network.
Have you never noticed that all the really good sites you 'find' have been because someone posted the link? For example in a comment on HN, or reddit. Or a related link on Wikipedia or the sidebar of a subreddit?
They (Google) have a feature built-in to the search engine so that if you put all the terms you want to absolutely see in quotes, for example: "tomato seeds grow", it won't return results without any of those terms.

Note that it will only return results with pages that have those terms in that order.
Except that with IPv6, your telco could delegate you an entire /64, or potentially less and turn your phone into just another router in the network.

Just asked my friend who is on Verizon, when he is tethered to his phone his laptop/computer gets a full globally unique IPv6 address, every device that is tethered gets one. So it already exists.

There is the Verbatim search option for Google text search, which keeps me sane, but frustratingly there is no equivalent for Google Image search.

Quite often I'll search for an image of, say, a specific aircraft registration and be shown lots of other aeroplanes of the same type. Very clever, Google, but useless.
The difference is the move from specialized to interchangeable, commodity hardware. This allows cloud providers establish an abstraction layer over servers, because it doesn't matter which machine serves your demand at any given moment.
The main thing I like about this service is the looks. It's mostly sleek and refreshingly minimal with a colorful and expressive logo to boot, a la Google.

DDG on the other hand... while I love the idea and would love to use it more often, not only gives poor results for most of my searches but the heavy use of red literally gives me a physical anxiety that makes it basically unusable. I could style the page myself but they really need to consider losing the red in favor of green or purple or gold because I can't be the only one who experiences this.
Out of pure curiousity, got any sources for me to read regarding 2).

Just because I read it and thought: "You know what, that would be one hell of an interesting study/experiment...".

Because every possible finding: whether industry involvement/employment had the effect of increasing demand, decreasing demand, or being totally irrelevant/representative of the population at large, would be an interesting outcome...

Actually, at that point you’d want to use PostgreSQL’s Full Text Search.

I’m not sure which part of my subjective experience is that-thing-commonly-called-consciousness (the word is used for too many things, from being awake to being a person), but I doubt all elements of it came from one single evolution development. Pain and pleasure responses are probably ancient, likewise fight/flee/feed/reproduce reflexes; introspective imagination of what we look like to other people probably evolved when our earliest ancestors became social creatures, and probably also exists in other species’ minds today — even in humans it’s only a partial awareness, we’re good with images but we don’t really know how we sound (literally or metaphorically) which implies it didn’t perfectly fit out development of complex language.*

If it was as simple as food/water/shelter, the Norns from the video game Creatures would be conscious.

* I don’t mean trivial errors like garden path sentences or Mondegreens, I mean e.g. the catastrophic communication failure between what (Brexit) Leavers want and the arguments used by Remain, and vice-versa.
You might already be doing a lot of this, but using the special operators makes Google a lot more useful. Using quotes around text forces it to be included exactly as written and removes the "struck out words" issue the other comment on your post mentions. 'OR' logic is helpful as well, as is - (e.g. -Word) to exclude words.

The full list of operators is here: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?visit_id...

Or there's also advanced search: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/35890

DuckDuckGo has much the same set of operators.
