Performing a DNS hijack has more uses than just reading the traffic. It gives you information on the amount of data that is sent towards a given prefix (among other uses, this can help for creating DDoS attacks later). It also makes those prefixes unavailable for as long as the attack persists, which is already a form of denial of service.

But what is very disappointing is that when French government deal with digital natives issues, it's a question about "should we fear about smartphones or not ?"
As Laurent Alexandre explains it perfectly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJowm24piM4, in french) in many talks he gives those times to the French government, we should spend more thinking about how to educate our children to use and understand those new technologies, instead of fearing it and applying the "good old french precautionary principle" to keep our eduction system free of smartphones, full of chalk and blackboard...

Agreed. I work from home and as such I get to spend much more time with my children than I otherwise would however the cost is that some of that time my attention is going to be divided.

Just because something annoys you or you find it conflicts with your values does not make it unhealthy.

I remember life before smartphones. I remember boredom. It sucked. I would never go back to the agonizing pain of sitting in the DMV for three ours or standing in line at a grocery store just for some "missed moment" where I study the shitty tabloids in line or DoT pamphlets.

Romanticising the past is not new. Whether it's television, hot showers, or smartphones, there will always be cynics who wish a simpler life on the rest of us.
Smart. Hedging their bets.
Also from the same book:

"I had a scheme, which I still use today when somebody is explaining something that I’m trying to understand: I keep making up examples. For instance, the mathematicians would come in with a terrific theorem, and they’re all excited. As they’re telling me the conditions of the theorem, I construct something which fits all the conditions. You know, you have a set (one ball) – disjoint (two balls). Then the balls turn colors, grow hairs, or whatever, in my head as they put more conditions on. Finally they state the theorem, which is some dumb thing about the ball which isn’t true for my hairy green ball thing, so I say, ‘False!’"
One silly thing that I hadn't thought of; the use of NTP for devices like this should mean that the NTP operators can gather pretty accurate statistics about each device's market share.

I guess the same folks who design software that spams things like this don't bother working too much on making it hard to fingerprint their devices, either. On the other hand, I haven't looked at the NTP protocol recently. Perhaps this isn't even possible due to the protocol's simplicity?

> The homeless are not some other population. They are people who currently lack housing.

True, however not having housing then brings on a host of other problems. Basic sanitation and food are just 2 of those big issues - and the food issue is why the fire happened in this place.

> With enough affordable housing, some people would never land on the street to start with. They would move to an SRO temporarily, get their act together and return eventually to more conventional housing.

Or, they would do like what we see happen in China and Japan - where the prices keep going up and up and up, and those people never leave the SROs. That's also a market eventuality, and a noted fact in those areas. This idea that SRO's are some "gift" to homeless and that they'll clean right up is a farce.

> I am not talking about a homeless service. I am talking about policies that shrink the problem in part by preventing homelessness to begin with.

I have a completely curveball outfield suggestion: We the government/people build SROs. If you're homeless, you can have 1. End of discussion. Because shoving this on "The Market" is how in part why they became homeless. So yeah, splatter more "market". It's about as true as trickle-down theory (aka: getting pissed on by above).

> I will add not all homeless are completely penniless, and I have formally studied the subject.

Yeah, so did I. I was homeless. You researched it for a single sociology class. When I was homeless, we met lots of students from the local university. The homeless epidemic has gotten nowhere but worse. But hey, there's some papers published reaffirming time and again the same things.
Query Components with Apollo
I'm very much torn on this phenomenon, and it depends on an org like Google being more or less benevolent when pushing new protocols and tech.

Designing a new protocol to be used at internet scale is really hard. Having the ability to test that on a significant amount of traffic before refining and standardizing is a huge advantage that few groups on the planet are able to make use of. From the IETF's perspective, I would look skeptically upon a new standard that someone dreamed up but had little to no practical real-world data to show how it behaves in practice.

But I also want them to avoid ramming standards down the IETF's throat. If, after due consideration, the IETF says "no" to a new standard, I want Google to stand down and abandon it. If the IETF thinks it's a good idea and is willing to work with Google to iron out issues and standardize in a public manner, then that's the ideal outcome.
Ha, I considered it, but didn't bother until I read this comment thread. Then I knew exactly what I had to do. Enjoyed.
If you're using npm to run shell or node scripts, then you're running your tasks with shell or node scripts. Just because you typed "npm test" instead of "./test.sh" doesn't mean npm is doing anything to help manage your tasks.

>Authority figures in school do not have the power or authority to watch over how the children use their phones.

They already do. Accessing certain websites is prohibited (e.g. pornographic stuff), as is filming other students without their consent.

A reasonable compromise would be a "scholastic firewall" - the children can have their phones, but can only access educational material on school grounds and not facebook/youtube/twitter/instagram/etc.

>Children that want to information dive on a specific subject are free to do so at home

Because as we well know, school is not an appropriate place for learning!

I kid, of course, but I can't help but feel all this ban would accomplish in practical terms is punishing the curious and nerdy disproportionately.

If you can do something better to protect Net Neutrality, do that, but it's not like bringing attention to an issue isn't going to make any difference. They'll think twice about enacting something like this when half the country knows that they're actively working against them.

No, he's right. Until about 10 years ago, meeting people was an integral part of travel.

You'd be essentially cut off from your friends back home (apart from maybe a daily email session), so you made new friends wherever you went. You'd go down to the common area of the hostel (or the beach bar near your bungalow in SE Asia), and strike up a conversation with pretty much anybody, since everybody there was traveling as well.

Now I can, sadly, verify that backpackers spend their common-area time on their phones, going about their usual business with their normal "friends". With the only difference being that they're now trying to upload photos that will make those friends jealous enough to leave a like.

I think I liked it better before.

Do people not read the information and form opinions for themselves? Is that not the point of learning how to critically think?

What ever happened to trying to get multiple sources for the information. In my own opinion, it is extremely shady if all of the sources for an article are coming from one place. Giant red flag.
You can get it much of the way there by tweaking `~/.inputrc`

Perhaps this is because I don't have the hard facts and figures right in front of me, but I have a hard time believing that foreign tech investments in China really pay off. The Chinese strategy seems to be to woo big foreign companies, build a critical mass of local users who want the product, ban or otherwise limit the foreign company's influence in China, then develop a home-grown Chinese version of the foreign company's product with state support and the newly acquired domestic talent.

If Google accomplishes anything worthwhile at this research center, won't China just shut it down and re-employ those researchers at a domestic company? Why do high-tech companies even continue to try to break into China?
It's not a matter of time in the wild, it's a matter of adoption and cost priorities. Until the past several years, most SoHo routers were super constrained wrt CPU, memory, and ROM, so adding support for a new transport layer protocol would involve an unacceptable cost increase in what has rapidly turned into a race-to-the-bottom commodity industry.

So you end up with a chicken-and-egg problem: router manufacturers aren't going to add support for it unless there's sufficient demand, and there can't be sufficient demand because very few people can use and rely on it.

>Or better yet, buy a bunch of Ubiqity UniFi's

Warning: do not follow this advice; Ubuiqiti products are like potato chips in that you can never eat just one.

Oh I'll get the AC PRO access point, you think. Five minutes later you've set it via quick QR code scan and the UniFi app. That was painless! No wonder people recommend these things.

Oh wait I need to make some more device tweaks but UniFi won't do it.. better get the cloud key thingy that manages the device. I'll have one of those.

A couple of months go by and you discover your Google Home device or NEST doesn't work with beam steering. Wait, you can manage the advanced AC PRO settings using their own software? Fine I'll build a small PC to run that since if you're going to do it may as well see the stats all the time.

Hmm... KRACK/sploit-du-jour is out, maybe I'll just get a new Edgerouter since it's already fixed there. Oh wait, there's a fringy area in my house I'll bet another AC PRO or maybe an AirMax repeater would be just the thing.

Oh dear, I seem to be running out of ports, better go ahead and get a nice POE switch since that'll declutter things a bit. Etc.
Looks like it's also relying on LLVM for disassembly? Ouch; that's an incredibly bad idea if you're trying to analyze malicious or unusual code (it's not designed for that), but I guess it's the easiest for a proof of concept like this.

Although, there's no way an AV company doesn't have its own disassembler, but those are almost always treated as trade secrets (especially the stuff that isn't in the spec / the spec is wrong). They'll probably hook it up to that before doing any real work with it themselves.
I mean, I find it annoying to get a nag screen when I can't even do anything about it, but repealing net neutrality in the US will have plenty negative effects on me either way, so I'm perfectly ok with it.

It'll fuck competition in the US even more, resulting in even more monolithic companies from the US flooding our market and killing off competition here. And it will result in my data being sifted through by the ISPs of the webpage owners in the US, whose webpages I visit.
I didn't say it was a good idea overall, just that there are some pros. And the poster was looking for pros, not just cons.

Super cool move. Always interesting to look at techniques for this type of stuff. It always feels like black magic.
The BTC market cap is nearly worth $300 billion, naturally there will be "large" transactions like that in something that big. Just Coinbase moving something to / from their cold storage is probably worth tens of millions in USD. And of course there's a lot of rich people and businesses that make larger transactions.

A million doesn't feel like that much money anymore for billionaires. That's like spending $1 if you've got $100 in your wallet.

True. It is a pretty strong endorsement from Google to setup a specific research division in a country where they effectively get banned. The only logical reason is to hire talents at local price for projects outside of China. Not sure how the return would be though.

>The Prairie State lost a record $4.75 billion in adjusted gross income to other states in the 2015 tax year, according to recently IRS data released. That’s up from $3.4 billion in the prior year.
