If the government owned the infrastructure, would be held accountable to maintain it, and would provide access to different ISPs there would be more competition. The problem is that some people see this is "regulation" or "socialism" or "lack of choice" while others see this as "healthy competition" and "liberty".

If there's just one infrastructure, or maybe two (cable and DSL) and the ISPs own it then there's barely any competition. That's when you get anti-competitive behaviour.

Such behaviour would be punished in a free market even if it were allowed. But we don't have a free market in this segment. We got monopolies and duopolies.

There are different ways to limit the power of monopolies and duopolies. One is legislation to force them to treat all data equal. Another one could be to break up the large mammoths who are monopolies and duopolies. The latter ain't happening, so why revert the former?

Either due to sheer stupidity or because of heavy lobbying from certain interest groups who'd profit greatly from this (ISPs is my guess).
Depends on your threat model. If you're protecting against dragnet surveillance and retroactive targeted surveillance, after your link expires, then just putting the password right there in the e-mail body, with an expiring link, should work fine. For now.

Especially if it's not life-or-death, but you'd just "rather not appear in the data set, if avoidable." To each their own :)
Keep in mind that they weren't parenting those other people. (Those other people being one commenter on HN) And those other people did not dedicate most of their dying words condemning those parents. Well this should have been pretty obvious.
The average salary for a developer in the top cities in Romania is around EUR 1,000 or $1,100 after taxes (that is about $2,500 in US before tax - yes, taxes are that high, actually a bit higher). A very good developer gets double. $2000 in savings are 4 months of living on the edge, not regular living.

Getting a full time job as a developer in Romania is extremely easy if you have any decent skills, there is a shortage of skilled people, but anyone reading the story will not hire him; he made absolutely all possible mistakes, including the ones specific to Romania (like his new apartment), so anyone that is looking for an example of how you can screw up big time can point to his article as an example.
It was a noble attempt by some, less so by others. The people who were involved in it all had very different goals - it's not like it was an ideologically monolithic movement even within country boundaries. The only unifying force was the opposition to the existing regimes. Which are/were bad, but what some people wanted to replace them was even worse.
Surely that clause would still apply if he made 90% of the game while employed by the company?
It is indeed on sale. I also just saw Age of Empires IV was announced, and a remake of Age of Empires I. Looks like I've found something to do over the winter holidays!
Ok, the example still holds where they do not have monopolies but let's move to a better example.
Gaming. Highly competitive market.

You buy a game, do you think that it means that the game producer has your best interest at hearth? Apple is filthy rich not because they have users as top priority, but because the extract as much as they can from them.
They have a very clear lock-in policy where they try to avoid their users moving to other platforms if they wish so (iMessage anyone). Is that really in their users interest?
Most chicken sold is pumped up with water (because water is cheaper than chicken). To bind the water, they add a ton of salt. To counteract the salty taste, they add sugar. As a side effect, it makes skinless boneless chicken breasts less likely to dry out if you overcook them slightly.

The end result is that most people find the taste of non-pumped chicken unappealing, because they're simply used to the faked-up salt/sugar chicken.
Yes I agree, this is the main point. I had quite a lot discussions in the past with my friends and relatives, the thing is, non-tech people doesn't understand the problem itself. I have a friend, I still couldn't convince her to get rid of her 1st gen winXP.

That's pretty much the article's conclusion:

"If gold can be stored in Fort Knox-like bunkers for just 0.08% per year, there is little reason it should cost 15 times more for bitcoin to be stored in similarly safe solutions. For now, though, it’s easy money for the custodians"
No, you have several options of earning money legally in Romania, including freelancing, but the guy did not do any homework in planning that part. Actually, he did not plan anything right.
Maybe I'm just way too risk-averse, but 3-4 months of expenses in savings is what I'd consider a minimum while in a stable full-time job.
> And C, as opposed to C++, does not allow you to say something you don't mean.

More than 200 documented use cases of undefined behavior...
>Okay, so I came from C and this part really put me off. Why? Because I like saying what I mean, and meaning what I say. Nothing hidden, nothing implicit.

Are we talking about the same language here? The language where arrays implicitly decay to pointers, where integer types get implicitly promoted all over the place, where aliasing rules implicitly define which pointers can and cannot alias, where partial initialization of a struct or array implicitly sets the other members to 0? Where the language will let you call an undeclared function and make up a prototype on the fly for you?

I also don't understand your C++ example, without side-effect why would both invocations of f() within the same scope produce a different result? I thought you wanted to criticise function overloading but you call it with an int both times so I don't see what's you're getting at.

Or maybe you meant that the two calls are in a different scope and could resolve to a different function? But you can do that in C as well in two different translation units and making two static f() implementations.
I love it. Aliexpress has the devices fairly cheap, this will be a nice christmas present for my pentesting brother :)

Depends on why you can't, no? If it's lack of interest, sure, but it may simply be that you have other obligations (e.g. familial).

Plus, as others have said, releasing the game while employed may expose you to the risk of having your employer claim IP ownership.

That feels like something the database could do for itself - checking whether a range of mmap()ed blocks are actually in memory or not is a single syscall.

I guess for large indexes the overhead of walking the page tables is going to be large though, so it’s not necessarily going to be a net win.
Yeah, but can the plumber spam all his friends automatically on Instagram?
In this particular case, there's probably no need to argue.

If she mentions the targeting, I'd go for something like "yeah, creepy isn't it?" then briefly explain how FB, or whoever, are doing it. Follow this up by, "I can help reduce it if you want" or similar.

I'd only push harder if it's affecting you directly in a way you consider negative. Then I'd make it about you not about abstract privacy concerns.

Something like "I'm trying to control my privacy on the net and FB can track X when you post Y. Would you mind doing Z so that they can't?". Ideally, you can then pivot it into the "creepy" conversation above and help her control her privacy too.
Wait a minute, the opposite of net neutrality is called "net freedom"?

This is sick (the lack of net neutrality is more likely to reduce freedoms than to promote them). If you remotely support net neutrality, please never use that term again. This is self defeating.
Don't you know? Everyone on HN makes $500k+, drives a Ferrari and has a supermodel partner.
Not to mention that most of those have servers in the EU which will not be affected by this. Sure they could raise prices there, but since this would just subsidize US costs a local competitor would have a competitive advantage.

What this non-Net Neutrality does is largely saying "if you want to build an internet-based startup the US may not be the place for you".
Most Dems support NN, and most Reps oppose it. You know this.
I didn't look at all of those, but I did take a look at the last one since it seemed so bizarre: why would the same site give it "True", and also "Lie of the Year".

A very quick reading makes it pretty clear. The "True" one was in 2008, and based on the law as it was written. The second was in 2013, and based how it turned out after it met the real world.

The 2013 article outlines this process pretty well - the whole thing is worth reading. But a good pull quote: Yet Obama repeated "if you like your health care plan, you can keep it" when seeking re-election last year. In 2009 and again in 2012, PolitiFact rated Obama’s statement Half True, which means the statement is partially correct and partially wrong.

I find digital consultancies / agencies always have spikes of work and they need folks to join in for a couple of weeks or months. Just make connections there - send in your cv, ask about part time positions etc. Agencies usually have one or two recruiters they trust so go and make friends with them too, chances are that recruiter is connected to a few other agencies and so forth. It’s all about networking though, and finding individuals that are reliable.

Occupational heritability will also be boosted by the "company town" effect. I feel that might be a confounding factor in their analysis for many working class occupations.

I am inherently distrustful of anything that tries to demonize a specific foodstuff or nutrient, without bringing some serious evidence to the table.

For instance, the evidence against trans fats is seriously overwhelming and convincing. The evidence against carbohydrates? Eh, not so much.

Avoid added sugar, don't worry so much about bread (as long as you avoid the stuff with added sugar, obviously) or rice or paste or potatoes.
> I think the best possible investment one can ever make is politics.

It's not an investment. It's a birthright —at least at the top levels. Good luck being a politician if your family doesn't already have ties with this caste.
Sure, but the same can happen to whatever libraries you use on your native app. If anything Chromium is more likely to be patched, since there's a large entity interested in keeping it secure enough for accessing untrusted content.
Coinbase uses redundant hardware wallets in geographically-distributed safe deposit boxes for their cold storage. It's very unlikely that they'll have a major theft from that, and their hot wallet funds are insured.

Personally I think hardware wallet random numbers are safe but anyone technical who's worried about that could generate their own from von Neumann coin flips, and turn that into a 24-word seed for setting up a hardware wallet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_coin#Fair_results_from_a_...

I wouldn't say this is more difficult than securing a large amount of gold. If someone gets into your safe deposit they can just take your gold. With a hardware wallet you get three guesses of a 4 to 8 digit PIN and then it wipes itself. And you can't store gold redundantly to protect from loss.
I agree on this. Added sugar to me means candy or cake, and while I like candy and cake, they are definitely a "small portions, very infrequently" type thing.

One reason to raise stink now is to make it clear to any candidates for 2018 and 2020 elections that this is an issue to which they can pander for the sake of good PR and votes. That applies also (and, perhaps, especially) to the primaries.

I was going to say there's at least two a day, but that's severely understating it.
I would love to have a way for my bank to hold my crypto for me, with the same amount of insurances and security audits as they have for other assets.

The "be your own bank" idea which crypto offers was one of the reasons it has taken me a while to get into it. That was something that I really didn't want.

I trust my bank living up to the task of keeping it safe and reimbursing me if they don't. I don't care about the individual coins but I do care about the value they represent and I trust that even if a bank loses a number of coins that it will not affect me. Just like if a bank vault was broken into it would not come out of my account.
There's also Broadband-HamNet, which works within the existing regulatory framework (but requires you to have a ham license to fully utilize its potential).
Challenge Problems for Artificial Intelligence (1996)
You can, and Coinbase and other competent exchanges do. You can also store the keys redundantly and apply cryptographic as well as physical protections.
I was thinking the same thing - although it's not really confounding as the results are still true. It's likely an explanatory factor though.

9 ways to overcome digital banking fraud

They look like a half-baked demo of a Wolfenstein clone. There's no video of the gameplay either, so it'd be pretty damn hard to convince a random person to sink any time into this even if it were free.

The EU enforces a less strict interpretation of NN. The Netherlands stricter law was therefore overruled with a softer version.

This came to light when the ACM (The Dutch FCC if you will) fined T-Mobile for applying a zero rating on music streaming. T-Mobile argues in court they are allowed to do so by EU rule. The Judge agreed.

Having 4 months of living expenses should be doable within 3 years of having just about any programming job. Saving 10% gets you there and that's on the low side. X% / (1-X%) * 12 * years or savings / living expenses * time spent savings ignoring interest and taxes.
>I found strange that he is counting in USD, since euro is de facto currency, besides the RON

The majority of his sales would be in USD (with EUR second, except if he especially marketed to European customers).

And $ gives a standard reference across the world. For EUR many people around the world need to do the conversion first, but even someone in rural Nigeria or Polynesia would have a good grasp of the value of the $ compared to their local currency.

I have to agree and disagree at the same time.

I used to be boy scout. A week long camp typically gets lot more tolerable around day 3. At the same time the kids typically run out of candy and cell phone battery.

I'd say the problem is not high blood sugar from eating too much sugar. The problem is low blood sugar about 30min after eating all that sugar. And kids are great at keeping themselves busy enough, so they don't notice being hungry. But they do get cranky without exception.

And even then the problem is not the candy. It's the fact that they supplement "real food" with candy. And the blood sugar seesaw starts to reverb.

HPLC separates molecules based on some chemical property. In this case, the N@C60 fullerenes are probably very slightly larger, distorted from pure icosahedral symmetry, or have different electronic structure to the plain C60. Chemically speaking, U235 is probably very much like U238 and the chemical compounds of the isotopes are probably chemically almost identical (since isotopic chemical reactivity depends basically on the so-called kinetic isotope effect, which is larger if there is a large difference in mass between isotopes). HPLC is basically a standard synthetic laboratory procedure and has no relevance (that I know of) to uranium separation aside from purifying bulk chemicals.

Bear in mind, to address the point about making money "quickly", that if you go direct to a digital agency, they will expect you to do a month's work, and then for you to send them an invoice with 28 day terms, and then they will pay when it pleases them to do so. So that might well be two months between sitting down at a desk and money actually appearing in your bank account - or it might be longer. (Speaking from experience in London.)

(If you go through a recruiter, you might be in a better position, because sometimes recruiters want you to invoice weekly and sometimes they pay more or less on receipt of the invoice. And sometimes they don't, of course.)

I can think of two practical differences:

- SSS can be bad if just your own client gets it wrong, multisig can be bad only if the blockchain itself is implemented incorrectly and somehow everybody who's been poking at its crypto for years with billions of dollars at stake has missed it.

- With SSS, once you reconstruct the key, there's one person holding that single key who will sign a transaction with it. You'd better trust that person. With multisig, each of the m keys can be controlled by a different person and they don't have to share. So (unbroken) SSS is fine for protecting your own key, but an organization that wants to distribute responsibility should use multisig.
AOSP does not include all these apps. Google says if you want to install play store on your device, you must also install all these apps. I think it's exactly the same as Microsoft's behavior with IE.
