> TBH I am a little surprised that there have not been any large scale attacks on the DNS infrastructure, considering the fact that any sort of security was bolted on to DNS as an afterthought. DNSSEC is a step forward, but I have no clue if any resolvers and/or clients make use of it.

There have been _lots_ of large scale attacks on DNS infrastructure. DDoS against root servers, TLD servers, and well known nameservers is commonplace; occasionally with some success. Because DNS is mostly UDP, it works well with anycast, and anycast with many pops is a great way to handle traffic from a big DDoS. There's also a lot of good decisions in the protocol/general implementations that reduce the impact of outages.

DNSSEC is a bolt on intended to address response forgery, it doesn't address DDoS.
> But despite being 27, I wasn't immune from having to branch out, learn new things, and become passionate about something to find a new position. Respectfully: our industry doesn't allow for one to stick to the same skillset for long. Your post reinforces what I had feared, which is that people are blaming ageism while sitting on a skillset that is no longer competitive.

That's shortsighted and your employer's process sounds shortsighted.

I don't give a crap if you've already used React, Redux, Express, whatever new flavor of the months are coming. If you're 23 and actively using them, odds are you're still going to be worth much less to my team than someone 40 who has to pick them up their first couple months but can immediately contribute valuable, hard-earned broadly-applicable timeless lessons about how to build and operate software.

My job as employer, and my team's job as onboarders, is to train you in the specific skills. Yours is to bring a proven ability to learn, and the general knowledge, wisdom, and thought processes to know how to build things right.

I don't care if you're passionate, I want to know that you'll be professional enough to take pride in what you do and hold yourself to a standard worth being paid for.

If you're a hiring manager and can't figure out better questions than "can you prove you know some things about X technology already," well, please don't get too much better, cause I enjoy being able to hire the skilled people you overlook without as much competition. ;)

Well considering we aren't obligate carnivores and we aren't obligate herbivores, I wonder what we are?

Eating meat, just like eating vegetables, fruits, etc made us who we are. We are actually built by our food consumption evolutionarily speaking.

> And the typical vegan diet is terrible.

Yes. Because it's not ones humans are designed for.

> A whole food plant based diet is fundamentally different - they only share the fact that they are based on non animal products

Yikes. That just sounds like a rebranding of a terrible idea. Kind of like how "neo-nazis" rebranded to alt-right.

Balanced diet including meat, veggies, etc > vegan/whole food diet. Human society has proven this to be true. The dominant human society is the balanced diet society. No vegan society nor meat-only society truly exists.

> Nuclear war is, in fact, quite survivable.

That's highly debatable. I'm 1/2 way through Command and Control (the book) and one criticism I have throughout for both history (the military and politicos), as well as the author, is no mention of the massive refugee crisis that would emerge as a result of a nuclear war. It makes Mad Max look more realistic, not so much the widespread wasteland, as much as the total breakdown of civil society.

If "civil" society, modern governments, do this thing, they forfeit moral high ground. They've failed. So why wouldn't they be immediately dismantled? Why trust anyone? I think it would be such high order betrayal people would take up a new religion that commands them murder is a gift from god, do it as often as possible in order to survive.
Hi everybody - author here.

Surprised to see this on the front page. I agree with most of the feedback and criticism here.

Hopefully some readers found it helpful regardless.
A fix to this would be to lien the property with the unpaid taxes, but not force the sale. Eventually, the owner will sell or die. The tax liens can be recovered at that point.

For an example tax of 2%, the property could sustain the liens for decades, allowing the owner to keep control of the land, even if they're unable to pay the taxes owed. The revenue to the government could be provided by bonds backed by those liens. Maybe require some portion of the tax to be paid in cash, and some penalty rate on the liens, to encourage payment of taxes by those that can afford them?
When I read these types of articles, there is always an underlining irony present there...

Out of all the diverse groups of people in the prison, only the racist whites (Nazis) would tolerate and give protection to this person - yet this person's entire write-up is predominantly against this same group of people.

A further explanation is provided to the reader that picks up on this: while these Natzi-people must truly hate him, they only truly protect him because there exists an even deeper more-menacing underlining racism within them.

All the other groups, are just fine, nothing more than a structured response to the racism.

While low on details, the story ends with the realization that while white discrimination is an evil unlike any other discrimination, it does allow the strong to find their true roots.

This story would be told quite differently if this person went to prison in a Muslim country.

This weekend, I was with three friends at Union Station, waiting for a bus back to boulder. While waiting, we noticed than an Uber was only $30 ($10/person) and the line for the bus was getting crowded. While $10 from Denver to Boulder is just over 2x a bus ride ($4.50 one way), the Uber dropped us off at our front door and didn't stop at 10+ bus stops along the way. The new RTD plan for Colorado was drafted before ride sharing apps became popular. - Dosen't explain the increase in cars, but does add to why people aren't flocking to public transit.

I quit playing Magic in 1999 when my 4 friends and I found out we were playing by the wrong rules.

We went into town, to a tournament at a comic shop, and saw the games taking 20 minutes. Ours took 1-2 days.

We tried what was, to us, the “new rules” and we were disappointed, gave up. It was a big blow. Suddenly the cards were less enchanted, the decks were less sacred. Maybe if I had understood the Turing completeness of Magic, I would have had it in me to start a tournament under our rules. Well, I still could if I had written them down. I’m pretty sure they were the best rules.
My impression is that in the USA, they like to try to "scare em straight" by having guards and inmates terrorize troubled children, compounding their trauma and all but guaranteeing they end up in prison later.
I've said it before, but I'd like to see LLVMpipe get a risc-v back end. And when the vector extensions are ready, support for that. This way all the SoC vendors should be able to implement basic frame buffer support with HDMI and use extra risc-v cores in place of a GPU. It wouldn't be fast, but it should be enough for things like a composited desktop and would provide minimal OpenGL support. Also, some guys have done a 500 core risc-v chip so maybe it doesn't have to be a poor performer. Intel got decent performance from Larabee right?

edit: the point is that many companies don't have any graphics IP, so this would give them a compromise.

My point is that there is a reason there weren't people outside of your community/culture. Looks at maps used for redlining https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/#loc=5/37.510/-9... and tell me you don't see a concentration of them in the midwest. These policies were effective during a timeline that would strongly influence and limit the diversity you saw growing up.

Cultural conditions created an environment that was welcoming to white people and hostile to PoC.

Look at the history the history of the KKK in my home state of Indiana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Klan and tell me you don't see widespread organized racism in it's past.

We didn't see racial hatred growing up because our grandparents and their parents contributed to the conditions where there simply were not people of color. That and because subtle racial prejudices were more easily normalized by a distinct lack of larger communities of color.

I look at the emails I get from representatives in Indiana and I'm baffled by the issues they present: undocumented citizens, Islamic terrorism, etc... Communities in the midwest intentionally isolate themselves from people they perceive as "others". How is that anything other than racism?

Assuming they actually happened. If this individual was lying about being an EA employee, I wouldn't put it past them to have fabricated that claim as well.
that's not necessarily true, people will still like their large cars. Gas cars aren't big because they run on gas, because motorcycles run on gas and are very small. Also the cars would have to be smaller than motorcycles for them to reach the density of a bus at which point they will cease to be comfortable.

You aren't the first person to think of this. It is otherwise known as Worse is Better[1].

I don't think the OP was talking about the kind of conspiracy you describe. Or maybe he was: it doesn't matter, because there's a subtler point. Scientists are not somehow exempt from confirmation bias and motivated reasoning, and political biases can creep into research without anyone cackling in a smoke-filled room.

Look, for example, at the current sorry state of social science research, much of which does not reproduce. Ego depletion, stereotype threat, the IAT: all "scientific" ideas that are politically convenient but fiction, and which went unquestioned for a long time because, deep down, most researchers didn't want these ideas to be wrong. That doesn't make these researchers conspirators.

I think the truth of that statement largely depends upon which "midwest" you're talking about.

It's certainly not true in the suburbs around the mid-sized cities in the midwest. Or the smaller manufacturing towns in the rust belt.

It may be true in the more rural areas of Minnesota or Kansas, though.

> the system’s per capita boardings were down 4 percent, while vehicle miles traveled went up a whopping 12 percent.

One way to solve this problem is to add significant tolls along major congested routes that drivers of vehicles have to pay. Naturally this would incentivize people to take the public transit to avoid the added toll tax, and cause traffic to decrease.

EDIT: I see people are downvoting my suggestion. As usual everyone is for more taxes until it affects them personally of course.

Lego forums (I don't know if they still exist though). Apparently they went to great lengths to make them safe and accessible for children.

That said though, if anyone can crack this problem, it will be awesome. Children are already social, and are increasingly on the internet. And there are very few, if any, kid-friendly (not kid-condescending, or kids-as-afterthought) resources.

What difference does it make that traffic and parking are “external?” They are still always factors in many places.

not alone.

It's been long time since I've hacked anything but first one had fun by storing the decompression code into the interrupt table (yes, there). Or by making sure the decompression routine used accurate timings (so that if you fiddle with step by step execution it fails). Or calculating jump's based on values on the screen (that is, not the values show by your debugger).

That way the decompiler should, at least, be able to execute the code.

But that was before the protected mode in intel. My knowledge stops there.
The Precision 5520 has very close to the same options, in a sleeker body.
> The reason the majority of people in cities favor investing in mass transit is in the hope that other people use it so they can continue to drive and enjoy less traffic and more parking.

This might describe you, but I would be extremely surprised if it actually described a majority of people... Especially in cities with high ridership (NYC, for example)...
My admittedly anecdotal counter to that... With “begintermeditate” Linux experience, I spun up Arch on a machine with an AMD processor/mobo and dirt cheap graphics card to act as a server in February 2017. I system update when I remember (every 1-4 weeks). I haven’t had anything break. Admittedly, I containerize nearly everything (Plex, Calibre server, bittorrent clients, etc) out of pure laziness and do very little outside that on the machine. It has been incredily low maintenance, and has been wonderful. I’d highly recommend.

Whether or not Canada has an arms industry is irrelevant to the question of whether or not it's unethical to build weapons.
