The other day I was sitting at home with my family. My parents, two siblings and my grandma, who moved from Germany after WW2.

My parents and siblings are sitting around talking about how Trump is going to save America. My brother mentions how a guy in town (also a Trump supporter) said he's a fascist. I'm sitting on the other side of the table and my grandma is looking down at her plate not saying anything. She's about 80 years old at this point.

I can't help but think she knows we're about to go through it all over again.

Edit: I don't think Trump is Hitler but I do think we are losing freedoms. I'm also not trying to even argue that it's Trumps fault. This was just an observation about my surroundings. I felt it relevant due to the seeming zealotry of my family and their lack of questioning certain decisions and outcomes coupled with the fact that today it looks like we lost more freedom due to that mindset.

There's a bunch of things we do, but when we do things like transformations, then they generally aren't temporary, so we generate new transformed series of data. There's some aggregations where we use SQL to do some basic stats, but a lot of transformations are done via application level transformations which can essentially do anything with any set of data to produce new data.

The most interesting thing about Chronix, to me, seems to be data size ( would be interesting to see what the performance is like too ). I think I'll do an experiment and spit a bunch of data into it and see how it does.

The number of products to which such non-discrimination law applies to is vanishingly small though. It's not illegal, for instance, to racially target advertisements for flagship smartphones towards white people (since white people tend to be richer and thus have more disposable income), not that any marketing agency would do that in practice.

Completely avoiding bias in advertisement is an exercise in futility. Are you a toy manufacturer? Advertise on children's TV shows - not that such a marketing strategy states that adults will never buy the toys, or that the business of adults buying such toys for themselves is unwelcome. Are you a cosmetics manufacturer? Advertise in cisfemale interest magazines - not that such a marketing strategy states that noncisgender individuals will never buy cisfemale-targeted cosmetics, or that the business of noncisgender individuals buying such cosmetics for themselves is unwelcome.

Do these people not do banking on Windows machines? The malware situation was infinitely worse on Windows - I see an Android device with some unwanted ads maybe once a year from a friend or family member, but Windows devices are a weekly occurrence and the really nasty stuff - like password sealers and banking trojans do exist, but are extremely hard to come by on Android, compared to Windows where clicking a pop-up and a run button could leave you permanently infested.
Untrue. In any US market, for each class of service (copper, coax and now fiber) there's rarely ever more than one of each because the big ISPs do not compete with each other in such fashion.

Muni service is a huge threat to them for this reason.
I understand that libertarians believe the free market should determine winners and losers, and like any viewpoint, there's truth in it when not taken as an unwavering silver bullet with no exceptions.

What bothers me so much about this is that net neutrality should be a no brainer when it comes to "maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association, individual judgment and self-ownership." (wikipedia). Why is corporate control of our daily lives so acceptable but government control opposed indiscriminately?

I think there are really only two possible ways to fix the problems with data breaches.

1. Impose a fine for every individual account leaked. Even if it were only $10, the recent Equifax loss of 143 million records is a $1.4 billion fine. It should probably be higher if gross negligence is involved. This would create a new industry (data breach insurance).

or

2. Make it so simply having all the leaked information on an individual isn't enough to cause any harm. I'm specifically thinking of some PKI-based scheme where I verify my identity by signing something with my private key.

There may be other variations, but the choice seems to be between forcing data brokers to be responsible or make it so that their irresponsibility is harmless.
Agreed. However, the punishment shouldn't just be financial, otherwise it will just be risk-assessed.

How about a ban on the data collection for a period, or lose the ability to use it.
Because most companies have to offer that, now. Otherwise, in most cases, we can go somewhere else doing the same kind of stuff, but with a company that does offer that flexibility. As a bonus, I might get a raise for doing so, too.

It's not a bad argument. You are describing a feature not a bug.

You are free to vote for policies and candidates that will make things the way you want them to be. I'm sure you have. Luckily a majority of us over time have voted against you and decided housing discrimination is wrong and made it illegal. The fact that you lack the choice to do it anyway is intentional.
If that's the situation, either the boss needs to call, or one of the other equally capable people in the office should be able to fix it.

I'm the tech lead of Sandstorm, not dijit, but let me see if I can interpret his views relative to Sandstorm.

dijit's complaints seem to focus on the case where a wildcard is shared by many logically separate services, as a convenience vs. getting a separate cert for each. This is probably the most common use of wildcards in practice, and it is indeed bad.

None of dijit's complaints apply to the case where the entire wildcard is really served from a single logical service that needs to generate lots of short-lived hostnames for browser-side sandboxing purposes, which is what Sandstorm is doing. Sandstorm is possibly the only infrastructure in existence which is trying to do this at a scale that legitimately cannot be solved without wildcards.

I think dijit is trying to say that each logical service should have its own certificate that does not overlap with any other service. For this purpose, a Sandstorm server is logically only one service, and as long as no other services serve from the same domain, the properties dijit is worried aobut should be no different from a service with a non-wildcard cert.

Ask HN: What is the “other side” of the Net Neutrality argument?
Everything I've read or seen on the internet has told me companies are trying to end Net Neutrality and that this is a really bad thing and I should do something about it. All of the publications I've seen have been pushed by Reddit or Youtube or some site that would be negatively affected by the decision. Surely, the content-creators on these platforms are biased against ending Net Neutrality.

Instead of blindly following and accepting the rhetoric of these content-creators, I want to explore all sides of the argument.

If ending Net Neutrality meant the end of everything that is "good" about the internet, there wouldn't be proponents pushing for it.

I refuse to believe that mega-corporations like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon are 100% evil, and that they want to end Net Neutrality just to screw over their customers and get more money. After all, the employees of the ISPs are humans and must also be benefiting from Net Neutrality, no?

So, what is the other side of the argument? Why would anyone want to end net neutrality?
I disagree. "You can't use the collected data anymore" is a million times harder to enforce than "pay us ten billion dollars."

> otherwise it will just be risk-assessed.

The key is to make the cost so large that the risk isn't worth it.

What's my geolocation history worth to Google? $20? $200? Make them pay $2,000 if they lose or misuse it.

Sure, maybe they'll buy "data loss insurance". But even then, there will be motivation to do things better. Eg, the insurer will refuse to cover claims where proper encryption wasn't used, will prorate policies based on data collected, etc.
Backwards compatibility was not an option for Mozilla to move their architecture forward for a modern multi-core computer. A rational person would understand this and move on, or find a way to support a fork of FF 56.

The Firefox team has a solution: Break everything to make it faster, and not care about the freaks who like extensions, who rely on extensions. Cooperation is a two-way street, and the Firefox devs blocked it off entirely.
"Relocation isn't an option", well not with that attitude. Your excuse for why doesn't seem very good. In this thread about blue collar jobs, how many blue collar workers are in the US illegally and working their butts off in order to send just about everything they make to their family back across the border? They often have wives, sometimes children, extended family, depending on them. Quite a number of people here legally do the same, too. All relocated despite the same or worse conditions you use as excuses. Maybe they're just not as selfish? Selfishness isn't necessarily a bad thing but it's important to recognize.

Suppose you could find a job elsewhere for $90k+. If you can't, sure, that's a good reason why relocation isn't an option, and finding a job in a location you don't live in is by no means easy. But if you can, then you ought to consider moving, by yourself (since your wife is busy with a career), live in an apartment with one or two other roommates, and live frugally saving/investing as much as you can. Make visits back home when you can, but at $90k+/yr that shouldn't be so hard, depends on how you want to balance your triple sized income. (Higher COL areas will eat into that, but living frugally, not very much.) Do this for 3-4 years, you'll have made more than 10 years at your current location and pay, handwaving away taxes/bonuses/raises/better opportunities. Then quit and relocate back, except now you have a savings cushion and it only cost you another few years of your time.
Children are not curious abut STEM. They are just curious.

STEM is a non-word used to discount art and literature and dance and history and everything expressive. It reflects the idea that human existence is about getting ahead versus falling behind relative to the conveyor belt created by the Sputnik Crisis. Absent are notions of blossoming and flowering and joy. STEM is white papers by think tanks and research grants and educational politics. STEM is an agenda.

A book about trucks, ships, and planes is a book about trucks, ships and planes.

That's absolutely wrong. Linux never squashes merge commits.

With my Linux maintainer hat on, I would have never accepted that commit.
Doesn't that still end up being financial? If someone is banned from collecting data and is later found to have been doing so anyway, the most likely recourse is fines, right? Or are you suggesting this would imply criminal consequences (i.e. jail)?
In that case, it actually goes against your "they don't care about their users" narrative. Or maybe they partially care about their users.

Anyway, I see some value in the features that ME provides, and so I'm not as anti-ME as a lot of the commenters on here. But obviously, I want the security bugs to be fixed too.

Building a network requires laying cables on other people’s private property.

Without the government giving them the right to do this they would never be able to negotiate with each individual land owner and networks would not be possible.

Wireless has the same problem: use of the airwaves, a public good no one can own. We issue licenses for them otherwise it would be a tragedy of the commons situation where no one would be able to successfully use them.

The internet (and most of its popular protocols) was invented and established due to public funding and released to the world for free.

So quite literally ISPs would not have a business whatsoever without free public assistance. As a result they owe us a lot more than the average business.

I would seriously consider taking the list of Congresspeople who are going to be running this hearing, extracting out the information you already have on them from your dumps, and preparing them a personal sheet of paper for each one showing them what you have about them online.

If it's in public, you can't read it to them, but you might be able to hand it to them personally.

This will be far more powerful than almost anything else you could do. It's not a problem "Americans" have... it's a problem they have.

> 1. Criminalize moving PII out of the country.

Please, please, don't. This forces global-scale operations to build computing in a number of places around the world to comply. National boundaries are meaningless on the Internet, and we already have enough of those jurisdictions in existence that doing global-scale operations with PII or even GIS data is an international legal minefield. Do you really want to suppress startup development by forcing global services to talk to 200+ different lawyers about what they're doing, in the long term?

I've worked on products where entire datacenters are forced to exist in order to comply with a law somewhere. Like this law, which I bet you didn't even know existed:

I was not talking about making a low-level engine; I only theoretized that gamemaking is somewhat as hard as modern ui at the top level where you script it and “draw” 3d/2d ui or interaction parts. For fair comparison on that scale game engines should correspond to at least font and vector rendering like pango/ft or cairo, or even direct blit ops, not to widget positioning. For one example, it is pretty easy to take unity3d and make a 9pool game — it is just ~two hour tutorial on youtube for people with no cg background at all.
