With you all the way until your last sentence, which seems to contradict the rest. When there is an immense concentration of power and concern about shady figures subtly influencing and corrupting things, the emphasis should be on diffusing that power out over a variety of diverse vessels instead of centralizing and condensing it further. Governmental apparatuses are just as, if not more, susceptible to corruption and influence than commercial ones, and I suspect the symbiotic relationship of regulatory capture and "government oversight" plays a major role in the interest in maintaining the status quo.

The best answer to our telco issues is to use government influence to make sure that the power is evenly dispersed among the people.

Babysitting the 5-6 major entrenched players is a stopgap at best and probably just a waste of time. Have to change the market circumstances so that the natural fluid, self-healing, and self-monitoring rhythm of the free market is in full swing.
It's suppose to compete with H.265 though it's still in development since 2014.

Chat API's are good because the traffic to "facebook.com" probably won't be detected as malicious by most firewalls.

Your fallback should be a peer2peer network in DHT style, scanning the entire IP address space on a well known port to find nodes to connect to.

When a node is found, addresses of other nodes are requested, and a cache of a few thousand infected nodes kept to use as seeds for future connections.

Imagine you have 1 million infected machines, then most new nodes will find and connect to the network within 4000 packets sent across the network. For good measure, build in a list of a few thousand addresses into the malware as bootstrap nodes.
His arguments are the same. Regulation causes burdens. Government regulating enforcing their version of net neutrality is a burden on the market.
I find it hard to follow nutritional advise when there are so many charlatans taking advantage of women trying to lose weight without any health concern.

A Medicine degree shouldn't be necessary in order to eat well.

Any reliable source where I can learn the 'nutritional 101' in layman terms?
> it's weird that the gold standard of elite education apparently remains the lecture.

What makes one a good prof/teacher/lecturer for a given department, subject matter or set of students may not make one a good prof/teacher/lecturer for a different department, subject matter or set of students.

The quality of an instructor as a prof/teacher/lecturer for a given department, subject matter or set of students implies nothing about the their quality in any of those attributes for the same setting or the same attribute if the department, subject matter or set of students changes.

I recall having a discussion with another student who had very similar abilities and interests. We agreed about the quality of the profs we had in common except for one where one of us thought he was a great teacher and lecturer but terrible at the rest of being a prof and the other thought he did a great job as a prof but was a terrible teacher/lecturer.
I've been in a different country, with a broken dell laptop keyboard, and the dell guy arrived the next day. When I pointed out I needed a US keyboard not a UK keyboard, he went out to his van and got one. The next day, onsite is ~$300. Its worth it.
Obviously complying with net neutrality, unless the law is stupidly written, is trivial. Compliance simply means blindly passing on tcp/ip packets without looking at to whom and where they are going. The only way to fail to comply is if you actively stop a packet and say "hey there, pay a toll to go through". There is negative cost to compliance, failure to comply requires an extra layer of technology.
He's very specifically advocating going back to the structure between 2005 and 2015. And there were lots of issues despite likely way less emboldened ISPs: https://np.reddit.com/r/KeepOurNetFree/comments/7ej1nd/fcc_u...

The 2015 move was actually because the FCC had been repeatedly challenged by bolder and bolder ISPs over its rules, and the courts ultimately stated that the FCC didn't have the authority to stop ISP shenanigans and enforce its Neutrality rules under Title I in 2014, hence the reclassification under Title II.

So yes, the internet was quickly getting worse prior to 2015, and it was not a "steady state" as it had started from much more stringent regulations (than the 2015 regime) back in 2005, things had progressively gotten worse over a decade before coming to a head.
You are misunderstanding how the attack works (probably because the article misuses the word 'spoofing' IMO). The messages between the car and the key fob are the real messages. They are just using a radio to extend the range of the car/fob communication.

This is for sure but 70% of my country is a facebook zombie.
Pre-2015 rules were overturned by the courts in 2014. That’s why reclassification happened...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_Communications_Inc._...

Apologies to those that have seen my comments 10x in this thread. It’s amazing how uninformed some people are about how this all came about.

The FCC didn’t want to use Title II. It had a much lighter touch NN schema but Verizon destroyed it. The courts said the only way to do it is under Title II. If you hate heavy handed regulation, blame Verizon not the FCC. The funny thing is that all these additional rules the FCC has exempted ISPs from, it probably isn’t allowed to. But who is going to sue over that? Is Verizon going to shoot itself in the foot again?
More like : if you can't measure the difference then definitely turn it off because if it is on there is a non-zero chance of significant instability events in your future.
> "Zero-rating [...] Customers loved it"

Which is also disingeneous because it's obviously a rhetorical trick to get uninformed customers to form an opinion.

If customers correctly compared the zero-rating offer with a hypothetical package at the same price with ten times the traffic included, but not limited to a bunch of selected services, I very much doubt that many people would still prefer the zero rating.

The suggestion that the ISP is giving you traffic for free is simply a lie to get people on their side.
I thought you could only disable it, not remap it. How did you remap it? Through some app?
You wouldn't even have to be sneaky:

Get control of Comcast (for example) and simply block everything you don't want people to see. And block places where people would complain about it.

"The New York Times doesn't load for you? Too bad."

A handful of companies have a chokehold on the media environment. Net neutrality helps prevent them from exploiting it. And, right, maybe most wouldn't. But one of these companies deciding it wants to be a propaganda machine would create an enormous problem for the concept of an American democracy based upon an informed public. (Something we're already having troubles with...)
While I'm personally certain BTC will crash eventually, I also dislike technical analysis (which this article is full of).

I do realize that technical analysis is just psychology applied on a statistical / price level, but I still fundamentally distrust the methodology for some reason.

Still, props to Bloomberg for referencing studies (even if I don't like how those studies are done). Maybe if these "indicators" are right, they'll eventually convince me to start using technical analysis myself...

> Am I missing something or is the fix a little computer in the fob to cryptographically sign a one-time challenge sent by the car? I mean, RSA isn't that hard, is it?

The problem has nothing to do with cryptography. Given radio signals can be relayed at will, and there's no way of knowing so (short of a way to measure quite small latencies), there needs to be a proper way to bind the cryptographic exchange to the person pulling the door open. Relay attacks (which do nothing to exploit cryptographic exchanges -- just relay messages fast) exploit that lack of binding.
Does this mean that meetup.com will actually stop being terrible now? They've been stagnating and coasting on their market share for years.
Seriously, couple that with the fact that ISPs are now trying to own content as well.
https://www.freepress.net/blog/2017/04/25/net-neutrality-vio...

That argument is akin to saying "let's strip the regulations because ___ wasn't so bad before."

Should it be terrible in order for us to realize when regulations are in our best interest? Should we go back to cars without seatbelts because at one point it wasn't so bad? Should we de-regulate smoking because it wasn't really so bad in the 40's?

Dunno about Ukraine and Russia, but here in Poland it's standard for senior-ish devs to make $3k-$5k per month. More than that is also possible, but uncommon.
Every morning I make 3 lists: (1) do immediately, (2) goals for today, (3) do eventually.

I do (1) immediately. I work on (2) until I need a break, and work on (3) for a bit, then go back to doing (2). All 3 lists live in a single text or markdown file, one for each day.

Like most people, I have a bit of an attention deficit, so putting fun and long term useful (but not necessary) tasks on (3) makes it easier to take breaks but still remain productive. An example is writing a blog post.
Do you have to use bash to run it? Seems like that should have used sh to get the biggest install base (Groovy does this).
If I could go back to the start I would mine a few thousand Bitcoin on my home PC and put the wallet in a vault.

No, I wouldn't consider investing right now, at least not anywhere near market price.
If you give a guy $10.000, x10 leverage and a trading system; and we assume he has low emotion control and is bad at math. The result is that he'll burn these $10k getting margin called.

1. You can't get all people to play this game.

2. You can't get people margin called if the stock price doesn't drop enough.

You can get 1 if you complicate loans (Mortgage based securities); and you can get 2 if you make the issue related to the whole economy. So people get bankrupted instead of margin called. Their house is sold instead of the stock.

Same game, bigger market.

That being said I don't believe the "rich" or the "powerful" are doing it. I don't believe in Conspiracy theories. I think this "movement" is inherent in the nature of the market and the humans who play around it. It burns both the poor and the rich, but it magnifies inequality whether by making the rich richer or creating new riches.
>This is the average way a consumer does online banking, and it’s much more secure than on iOS.

lol. At least on iOS they can trust what they see.

On desktop they can't, https://securityintelligence.com/tatanga-attack-exposes-chip...

All of your security theater falls apart when the device is infected with malware that can make the bank site say anything.

On iOS your banks app/site will never ever lie to you, if it does it'll almost certainly be the banks fault and not the users.
The new rules require transparency almost on a level with what the Title II regulations required.

Just as under Title II a company could not legally engage in these practices, under the new rules a company could not legally engage in these practices without publicly disclosing them.
Right, so when you put the fob in your pocket to leave, you activate it, and it stays active until you've completed your trip and you lock the car. But while it's resting on your nightstand or kitchen counter, it's inactive. Or is there something I'm missing?
While it is possible, I don't think the average consumer has a dedicated card reader and HBCI software. I just checked a few random banks and none of them even advertise that on their homepage. Most people use browser-based banking plus a way to generate transaction tokens (e.g. via SMS, smartphone apps, or a small token generator that takes input).
> What other innovation is there left to do?

Biggest one, SMS broadcast to alert attendees of venue changes, gate codes, etc. It doesn't coordinate schedules or assist in transportation. The core site doesn't have to offer these things, but it sure as well could make it easy 3rd parties to integrate with Meetup itself.

Second is discoverability and even seeing what is on the timeline of events, or prediction about which events will be well attended.

Meetup could have been an amazing backplane for coordinating and mediating activities. Could have been. Hasn't been. Needs to be supplanted in the same way that overflow replaced experts exchange.

It is barely an MVP for coordinating multiparty activities. It still feels like a 700 line single file php application that updates a status masthead and sends email.
Where did that quote come from? It isn't from the article or any of the comments.

Ah, I feel a bit stupid now. Of course.
My problem is not that which ErlangVM language to learn but more like how to work with OTP. Most of my Erlang projects are not OTP which is a heretic move according to Erlang devs.
I haven't used Erlang since 16 (maybe 17), but the two features that attracted me to Elixir were support for UTF-8 strings and macros. Erlang may have both now—I'm not sure—but doing localization in Elixir was a lot easier than it was in Erlang back in the day.

I would recommend learning both Erlang and Elixir. They're both amazing languages, I think, and your Erlang skills transfer nicely into Elixir, since you can call any Erlang function from within Elixir code.
It would be better if it said "third person camera." I was let down because I thought the author had jury rigged two physical cameras to capture 3d images.
It's more fair to say he's making good arguments against wealth distribution so bad for the majority that they're willing to kill their masters to have a chance at improving things.

If the rich were interested in self-preservation they'd treat wealth inequality as an existential issue.
Even in a recession people look for investments. If stocks, bonds, etc all go down they look further. Gold has gained value during the last recessions.
My car has this feature and I quickly learned that it only unlocks if you put all 4 fingers through the handle. So to check if it's locked I just give it a pull with 2 fingers and the unlock doesn't trigger.
Per the other comments, if you learn Elixir for professional reasons, you're very likely to at least get to the point you can read Erlang, even if you don't write it fluently. And if someone is hired on who knows Erlang but doesn't know Elixir, I doubt that's going to prove a huge impediment, especially if they have any other scripting language experience. I'd consider the question of Elixir/Erlang to be more a "both-and" sort of thing than an "either-or".
Thank you for offering this rebuttal and clarification. Reading through the comments I was starting to wonder if I had read a different article than everyone else, or if the regulatory, misnamed "net neutrality", propaganda machine was really just that strong. But you caught the nuances and explained the consequences of this regulation exactly right.
> I was just noting that you didn't seem to have an especially clearer picture than Charlie did

I'm not sure what to tell you if you don't see a difference between "there are clear plans for the future, but of course plans are no guarantee for what will happen in the year 2100" (my point) and "there is no plan for the future, nobody has any idea how to incentivize mining, what a bunch of idiots" (Charlie's statement). In fact, the plans do not only exist as plans. They are implemented in software that is deployed on a huge network of machines.
What if you play games? Not that I do, but I'm curious.
That's basically what it is doing now... except that the message from the car is relayed over another radio to a radio the attacker is carrying near the victim. The victim's key thinks it is near the car, and signs the message which then is sent back over radio to the car.

This isn't about better cryptography. This is about how can the car know that the key is in close proximity to it? We can transmit data long distances.

Timing is going to be the key, how much time is allowed to be passed between sending a challenge and getting a response? Right now there is a lot of "slop" to allow the owner with the key to be turned away from the vehicle and things to still work, or have it in your left pocket versus your right when seated in the car.

My Subaru WRX requires the key to be right next to the middle console, so I can only keep my key in my right pocket. If I have it in my left pocket I can't start my car.

I don't know how much "timing" slop there is though. Could someone relay my keys transmission with a short delay?
I don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all solution, especially at the level of detail you provided. Marketing and selling anything is hard, but also highly domain specific.

I can confirm the general profile of undergraduate students at UC Irvine. I graduated in 2004 as a first-generation high school/college graduate and went on for an advanced degree. A substantial number of my classmates were also the same. I believe in the UC because, for the most part, it maintains its mission of providing Californians access to higher education if you want it.

I recall the rule (not sure if it's still the same) that if you are within the top 10% of your high school class, you will be admitted to a UC campus so long as you meet a minimum SAT score.
(AV1 dev here)
Yes, this is true.

This codec is developed by the Alliance for Open Media, whose goal is to provide a patent-free video codec (more acurately, a video codec under a patent-umbrella protection). Let's not reproduce the HEVC fiasco (see "HEVC advance licensing terms" for more info).

AV1 is still in development at this time (the bitstream format changes slightly almost every day).
However, the compression performance (VQ) is already very good ; and lots of huge companies are part of the Alliance ( Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Mozilla, ... see http://aomedia.org/about-us/ )
I use a lot of checklists, mostly via emacs org-mode. Here's an example of my daily sales workflow (B2B SaaS; formatting didn't survive very well, sorry):

DONE Check commission goal for EOY and update

DONE Start airtable timing

DONE Log in to TalkDesk (reboot, make sure active)

DONE Sales startup

* DONE select rotating priority of the day, tag with dailyFocus

* DONE check calendar for any major events unprepared for

* DONE check email and star anything urgent - skim. if you
don't need to reply right now, don't

* DONE check new leads in uservoice for anything time-sensitive. if you don't need to reply right now, don't

* DONE rearrange plans on calendar to fit meetings etc in the day

Sales general workflow

* DONE Prepare for major interactions today

* DONE 1bd email, including new leads

* Tasks in SFDC: high, >20, or 0 (unweighted

* 2 definite reply email

* Tasks in SFDC: >3

* Contact all of dec/jan closes, to see if do again

* Weekly goals

* follow up on sammy's intros - probably a longer play

* devlearn followups

* Check out read receipts to see how can move along larger deals

* Create jump discontinuities for future, or set up ability to do same
Is it possible to block all websites from asking about enabling notifications? Every time I have allowed it have I regretted it, and every time I see the little dialog box asking for my permission do I feel slightly more desire to just close down the tab and read something else.
Random sidenote: I feel that a ton of sites have the exact same visual style as kinsta. Is this a template or something? If so, which one is it?

Eh, sorta. It seems like prices for anything never really go down, the firms that can't make a profit just go under so there's less supply. Or prices go up slower. You might have gotten 20% off a house if you bought during the 2009 downturn (or 50% in places like Vegas). This advice seems like Monday morning quarterbacking. Or maybe works of you're Warren Buffett.

> Instead of Whatsapp, the world could have fusion power.

I'm sure if HN could combine savings from annual budget the $5 lattes and $2,000+ annual refreshes of the Shinybook Pro, we'd be halfway there. But hey, maybe the value provided in an affordable SMS replacement to a billion people isn't all that, right? It's just a replaceable app, why don't they get iPhones and use iMessage. /s

HN can be hilariously condescending - "I don't use this, it doesn't impact me, I don't understand it - therefore it can't be worth much".

> Tell me that makes sense.

WhatsApp provides massive value to its users, especially when they supported feature phones. What's the human value of a poor rural farmer sending a message to their child in the next city over "Your mom isn't feeling well, please send money for a clinic visit"? I bet it is more than the $1/year WhatsApp originally charged. Communication is a force-multiplier - someone smarter than me has probably already calculated the value WhatsApp has added to the world by merely existing.

I'm not a Facebook fan- I hate that Facebook changed the monetization model and are dropping WhatsApp support for feature phones in pursuit of features. However, Facebook paid $19 billion because WhatsApp was potentially an existential threat to Fb. Why don't you and a small team develop a fusion reactor and see how much GE/Saudi Aramco will pay - I bet it would be north of $19 billion.
> One complaint on the HP support site says: "It's been making my computer work so hard I can hear it like cranking away and the light in the back of my computer is flashing rapidly in-tune with the cranking. In Task Manager I can see it starting and stopping numerous applications."

There are more than two stock exchanges in the United States.

You also want to think about what you mean by arbitrage. If you can buy IBM at 95 on NYSE and sell it at BATS for 100, you might call that an arbitrage. Your main issue is sending the orders off before someone else does. The problem you don't have is credit risk. Your money on one exchange is as good as your money on another. In crypto this is not quite the case.
