Is the lack of e2e IP networking a chicken and egg problem? The built-in assumption of NAT islands w/ ambiguous addresses seems to be widespread in container and virtualization platforms, with little support for Internet style networking despite the obvious security and simplicity advantages.

I guess even today many people have problems getting more than a /64 in the office or home network (edit: it's supported usually with the prefix delegation option in DHCPv6 by most ISPs), so it's not frictionless in the dev environment.

Solved problem. There are actually moving sidewalks that accelerate you as they go, see https://www.treehugger.com/urban-design/accel-moving-sidewal...

Somewhere I saw a prototype of a multi-belt system as well. You get on a shorter one at normal speed, and you can either transition to one moving twice as fast as the first, or you can step off completely. The speed difference from stationary to slow is the same as from slow to fast - you just accelerate by shifting belts.
> Some of the fakes have the same movement as the real item.

Not just "some," many of them do, in fact.

A lot of low end "luxury" watches don't even have custom movements, just standard ETAs. Chinese factories can produce clones of the ETA 2824 and 2836 movements, so you can get a fake watch with the exact same movement for a fraction of the price. If you ever decide you want COSC-level timing, you can just buy an ETA and swap it in.

Factories are also producing high-quality replicas of in-house movements such as the Rolex 3132 -- I say "replicas" because they can take the same parts that you'd use to repair a genuine movement. Once you're at that level, you need a loupe and a mental encyclopedia to be able to figure out what's going on and which is real.

Edit: Replaced "China" to clarify that it's not a national aim or anything like that.

> G-shock

Ironically, the fake industry doesn't just apply to mechanical watches -- even G-shocks are faked quite well. You can buy them from $5-10 quite often because the base parts are just that cheap.

On Making Oneself Less Unreadable
I hear in Moscow they were trying to tear some of these old buildings to build new apartment complexes. It's controversial in how it was handled I hear especially with respect to older people who have lived in those buildings.

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/mar/31/moscow-bigges...

It's allegedly the largest planned urban demolition.

In general Soviets liked to build fast, cheap and efficiently. Corners were often cut. The apartments were not luxurious and would be considered cramped by Western standards. Everything was standardized so you'd see blocks and blocks of almost identical buildings. There is even a well known movie that has that as a key plot element: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073179/ (Man gets drunk, accidentally flies to another city, which had an identically named street, apartment block looks the same, etc).

However it was provided to the citizens for free, sometimes after waiting in line for years. My parents waited for 6 years to get a new apartment after I was born, we got one with 2 rooms instead of 1 room. And yes, they were also very anti-communist (in private at least during those times).

In a place like Norilsk I would guess there other constraints such as extreme cold, would make things hard. Even as new developments having 5 or 9 story blocks might be the more efficient to heat and maintain them. They also built on permafrost, with global warming melting, they'd probably be having major issues soon.
> Xi's regime is less liberal than ever.

How so?
Interesting point. Reminds me of one of the major arguments in Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steels as to why the Old World conquered the New and not vice-versa.

Eurasia is a "landscraper" (oriented longitudinally) allowing for easier trade and exchange of innovations (especially related to agriculture and animal domestication) along a broad expanse of land.

The Americas are a skyscraper (more latitudinal orientation) with greater diversity of climate and topology that impeded the spread of some innovations and technologies.
Prolog can (sometimes) "reverse execute" a specification, not generalize from examples. It's like saying "a cat has a round face and pointy ears" versus "look at these cat pictures". (Versus "draw an oval and then draw two triangles at the top...")

From a slightly more old-school sysadmin approach, I learned to troubleshoot roughly in line with the OSI model (https://www.lifewire.com/layers-of-the-osi-model-illustrated...), starting at layer 1 (physical) and working up.

That's not to say I spend a whole lot of time looking at the lower levels, but my quick mental checklist starts off down at physical points, and I try to quickly eliminate possibilities. In a lot of cases it's obvious it's a code / logic bug, and you can completely skip the lower layer stuff, but making it a conscious step pays off.

Getting those responses where, exactly?

If you had mentioned literally any other language with a FLOSS community around it I wouldn't question that statement. However, Rust proponents so clearly claim to do the opposite-- you've even got Steve below explicitly stating that jackassery isn't allowed in Rust forums.

Yeah, much “text message shorthand” actually developed on pre-SMS fora (BBSs, Usenet, and various network chat/messaging systems, among others) for reasons other than strict length limits. Particularly on online live-messsaging systems, terse expressions help reduce the slowdown associated with turning thought into communication.

I was surprised to learn that "tnx" was an early morse code convention (lol is 'hihi'). Oh and seeing the phrase "tricked out" in a book from I think the 1800s (via Gutenberg.org) was also surprising.

Put it this way, if Tim Cook acted the other way as you wanted, he simply wouldn’t be CEO anymore; the board would have him promptly removed. You can’t head up a public company and leave that much money on the ground.
Actually both cases are deadly. I don't think that miner take over is reversible if done right. I haven't seen a single step by step article explaining the actions in case of large double spends. Do we get air drop from some twitter account that now we do different PoW? Who decides and when? That's the thing - blockchains aren't built to be modified off-chain. Hard forks is a death and birth of a new coin. So first thing Bitcoin would die but will it be born with new PoW? Will this PoW be decentralized from china? A looot of questions.

So yeah both cases with stake/hashrate are deadly enough with no plan B.

There is not a single large-scale network-facing widely attacked piece of software I'm aware of in C++ that has not fallen to some memory safety problem. Memory safety issues frequently produce RCE.

The link shows the "fast" speed as being 2m/s, which is still just a brisk walk. You'd be better off with bicycles or segways.
I'd like to hear more about it too if you don't mind. I always figured the latency associated with starting up containers (i.e. what Lambda uses under the covers) would render user-facing apps unusable. Totally get it for batch processing, one-off events etc though.
Amazon does well in china. We used it often in china along with JD and, much more rarely, taobao.

Baidu best google because they were allowed to not follow local law, being a chinese company, and got popular on porn as well as rich in healthcare scams.
Who decides it and when? Why new PoW is supposed to be "better"? Whenever you need to change consensus which wasn't expected by consensus itself (self amendability) you're in stale mate situation and NO ONE can predict how it's gonna turn out. There's no Captain Consensus who decides when and what PoW to use.

> It's become clear to me that a lot of the Rust fanatics don't actually know how C++ works and and Rust is their first low-level language.

That doesn't change the fact that Rust programs are, when memory safety is concerned, more secure than C++ programs. This is true both in theory and in practice.
That seems to be consistent with what I’ve seen. Thanks for another data point confirming that. :)
It's impossible to steal money from other wallets. Miners can only reverse history and double spend, which is anyway deadly enough.

Hypocracy is a bikeshedding dimension. China and the US both serve the politically-connected first and the people last; China does it by force and the US does it by manufacturing consent. Regardless of political system, the people must rise up and demand a fair government and insist on sensible regulations and justice with eternal vigilance. Power never cedes anything without a fight.

Just to flesh out the vendor comparison...

Five weeks of, say, three engineers with $150k salaries ($200k fully loaded) is $60k. People say that the majority of software is after initial development. Let's say 20% is development [0]. That means this project costs $300k total and lives for 5 years before the team decides to rewrite it. That brings us to $60k / year.

This is good savings! My general guidance to folks thinking about this sort of project is that you should implement a vendor and see how you like it. The reason being, MixPanel does a LOT more than this tool, and buying a vendor can help you figure out the subset of features that you actually need. Once you have a clear requirement list, you have a clearly scoped project and can hammer it out relatively easily to get that cost savings.

Beware of thinking that you can do this for $X,000 / year on your own, or get it right on the first shot. There's a reason MixPanel (and any other vendor) has so many engineers. You're paying them to have already made the mistakes that you're about to make.

The Chinese government is directly drawing its legitimacy from the betterment of the Chinese population and this seems to be also the government’s own understanding of the situation.
Was fooled a moment into thinking you had no pricing information on your page. Realized it was there but just not accessible via your menu. My advice, add pricing to your menu. It is one of the first things I search on new products before I try it. Should be accessible from any page in case a reader is interested and wants to check if he can afford your tooling.
Possibly there’s nothing much wrong with the actual structures? Tearing them down and replacing them with modern versions mightn’t yield that much improvement. The design life of an apartment block tends to be pretty long.

There are lots of 60s and 70s apartment blocks in my area; many have had improved insulation, windows etc, put in (and in a few cases even an extra storey) but it wouldn’t be normal to demolish and rebuild them.
Google's 111 8th Ave NYC building completed in 1932, at 2.9 million square feet (270,000 m2), it is currently the city's fourth largest building in terms of floor area as of 2014. It was the largest building until 1963 when the 3.14-million-square-foot (292,000 m2) MetLife Building opened.
＞ It's part primal - fear of insecurity and belonging to a social structure - part ego - accomplishment as confirmation of existence and your salary as a concrete number to compare favorably to others - and part culture and habit.

You forget a big part I think: planning for your future. You don't know if you'll have a job 10 years from now. If you have kids you know you need a bunch of cash to make sure they get a reasonable education down the road. Of course you'll feel the pressure to prepare for such eventualities. Not everyone is "living in the moment".

I'd like to say that "everyone already knows this", but this particular topic is one that seems to be a poster child for people believing what fits their politics instead of what fits reality, unfortunately. So it's always good to see it getting more exposure.

I honestly don't get what's in it for the people pushing bad science related to social-justice issues (excluding those who are actually part of the industry of seminars around same). This is a problem that many people want to solve, and the bad science just makes it _harder_ to solve these problems, and lessens support for the movement to do so.

One of the things I (probably incorrectly, but) happily spent money on over the last couple years was putting soundproof windows.

I think having better sound isolation in apartments would make them substantially more liveable, and it's not comparatively expensive versus many other upgrades you can make to multi-family housing.
This is availability of a single system, not a distributed system.
Nanosecond Trading – HFT with Sniper in Mahwah and Friends
I had the opposite reaction. If you're in a big city in the US, $240K is the cost including overhead of one, maybe two engineers. If running this in-house takes up a total of a full-time engineering load (i.e., if the team maintaining this wants to add headcount to run this and maintain prior commitments), you haven't saved very much and you might be net negative.

(The math may be different in different job markets, in which case, yes, it makes sense not to pay a startup that's paying SF wages to its own employees.)
For some reason the first thing that popped into my head when I read this was fuzzers like American Fuzzy Lopp. I wonder if you could use the same sort of stochastic exploration to explore the space of possible programs satisfying a set of tests rather than explore the space of possible inputs given a program?

The 1984 Mac was a closed system -- about as forbidding as a system could be for independent developers.
I'm not sure I see where this is used.

It's way to expensive to put into a consumer product (adding another cell is way cheaper than shaving 100uA).

For niche products (can afford a $20 uC on the BOM), development cost is non-trivial, so the excellent MSP430 documentation and support negates any advantage the GreenArray product might have.

In essence, it's too expensive for the low and high end (albeit in different units of cost) so who do they go after?

If they want to fix #2, don't use a 10 chip MOQ ($200) and charge $450 for the demo board. Hand out a few at cost to some ECE departments or at a conference and let people do cool things with your tech. Their trials an tribulations are free publicity and support material.
