Well, maybe I use my phone very different from others. For me the "read things on it" aspect is the most important part. Before I had a smartphone (I got my first two years ago) I tended to carry five or six books around all the time. Now I don't need to anymore and can still read whenever I want.

I switched to Fish about half a year ago after reading Julia Evans' essay singing its praises: https://jvns.ca/blog/2017/04/23/the-fish-shell-is-awesome/

I think what convinced me was the last point: if you really can't do what you're trying to do in Fish, firing up sh/csh/ksh/bash/python/xonsh costs virtually no effort.
I go for a smoke :-) But you could walk around the house or block. I get so many good ideas while sitting there smoking for a few minutes, in the backyard gazing into the trees. I think when/if I stop smoking, I'll pick a spot outside to go to and sit for a few minutes. Its pretty amazing, usually the answer to the next problem pops into my head. Probably the vast majority of my good ideas come in those few-minute breaks.
This is easily achieved using a fish function: https://github.com/nyarly/fish-bang-bang

Unlike bash, fish even expands it in place, allowing you to make changes.
TVN is American-owned station producing American-style "news". The main reason probably why this incident is getting international attention.

That escalated quickly.
Sure, it's a reason to blackhole the isp, but this is the Internet we're talking about. So say its upstream providers will backhole it, say even the tier 1 providers do the same.

That won't stop it from connecting to smaller networks and announcing the same fake routes there. And even if the small networks blackhole it, the attackers can just register a new AS.

Also, there are cases in which attackers are performed from large networks, with millions of users. Are you going to blackhole such a network? They'll apologize and claim that it was a configuration error.

Note that these types of attacks are generally not performed by amateurs. They're performed by states, intelligence agencies, criminal organizations and the like.
What's nice about Fish is that you don't really have to configure anything to get a lot of interactive goodies.
Please do. Closing the app didn't work, killing all its processes it didn't work (Win10).

Also, apart from inventing/discovering new algorithms, there's another part in inventing how to use them to help in particular "real-world" (or "non-quantum programmer world") problems. So, maybe one of the known algorithms could actually somehow help with "training a RNN", but probably nobody invented a way to rephrase ("refactor") the "training a RNN" problem in a way which could get boosted by one of the known quantum algos (the set of which can be looked at as "the quantum API") yet.

Now that I think of it, the few most well known algorithms (like the Shor's one) are probably so because "real world" use cases were found for them, which are understandable to non-quantum engineers (i.e. "factorization of primes"), as opposed to "transforming a hamiltonian foobzdringle into a hilbertian mesoism in laplacian meta-subordinates" :P

Facebook bats back after former exec accuses it of negatively impacting society
It seems that the pro-https side argues "but it would be confidential against most hackers and also HTTPS!!!" while the anti-https side argues "but a statelevel attacker could still hack it so it's not 100% secure thusly a bad idea".

It would probably help if both sides actually tried to argue and discuss this instead of digging into the trenches and firing potshots at eachother.

I think the necessity for regulation shows that unregulated payment processors leads to market failure (due to the nature of that market under current non-blockchain tech). Regulatuon fixes this market failure, but I see regulation as a last resort due to its being a high overhead solution (you rely on courts to interpret the regulations or check the statutory agencies, on the agencies to do their work, on lawmakers to keep the laws up to date). Of course, it is an open question as to whether blockchain tech can lead to the payment processor market not to suffer from market failure if unregulated.
You are aware that there are playgrounds and ages where parents have to be around their kids are you?
Blanket bans of this kind rarely work, and policies like this are usually caused by other factors.

My primary school had a concrete playground without any trees, and school policy forbid us from running (so we wouldn't hurt ourselves), from playing games like tag (so we wouldn't run) or clapping each other's hands (because we could hurt ourselves). We also couldn't play card games to protect against gambling, nor gather in a group of 5 or more people for some reason. I would have loved a cellphone or anything not to be bored out of my mind during break, but that wouldn't be necessary with a more reasonable school policy.
Some OSs (I'm looking at you Windows) can get 'sticky' and refuse to fail over to the stronger AP even if it does have the same SSID and passphrase. The only solution is to force disconnect and reconnect the wifi on your device, and even then it doesn't fix it all the time.

I've found the most 'reliable' arrangement is to not only have the same SSID and passphrase, but to have them all on the same frequency and if you can, make them all from the same vendor.

Also, if you are going to re-purpose an old router as an access point, make sure you turn everything off on it except the access point service. It mustn't hand out IP addresses or offer any DNS resolution. You want your devices IP to be provided by the main router regardless of which AP you connect to. It sounds obvious, but this the main stumbling block people encounter when trying to do this.
I'm not sure when the last time was I saw an ad on my phone. The only example I can think of would be the Kindle app telling me of comparable books, which seems no different from all the tech books I have which have book recommendations on the last pages.
I read The Daily WTF a few years ago, but eventually stopped because their stories were getting more and more tedious over time. The submission is refreshingly plain in comparison, but a bit too plain. Something inbetween these two poles would be nice.
And all to often people get shanghaied into being guinea pigs by some "push to prod" dev...
If you can't get a Mikrotik, then a Draytek is normally a good bet also.
It's not so clear cut. You need to benchmark before and after.

Often acceleration modules on Broadcom, Qualcomm, Mediatek etc are proprietary and without acceleration in OpenWrt/Lede the router is going to be dog slow.

The wifi modules are also proprietary and need be well supported by Openwrt/Lede or you will see throughput drops.

Of late it's just best to use what's in the router and not bother. And we move to faster connections on consumer routers with slow main SOCs the proprietary accelerators will become even more important.
Phones can be brought to the school (and brought back home). They plan to implement (locked) boxes at the entrance of the building. So no worries there.
Nice, but I think fish would be more appropriate :) (Yes, I know a whale is not a fish)
> Compare this to C++, or any "build" static toolchains. There are really _no_ size limits for the amount of dependencies or code that needs to be linked together. Therefore, there is no care in the world for application developers if they are generating 600GB Video Games, 10MB-100MB Applications, etc.

Huh? Seriouosly? Embedded devices can be any size people want? Some software I develop uses C, Go, etc. and it would be nice to not have to worry about built artifact sizes. Admittedly I find it kind of fitting and funny that someone who maintains a popular JS library thinks that the web is the only (?) platform with build size (and possibly other) constraints, haha.

Anyway, I do appreciate your work in helping maintain an open source project, so keep that up.
I applaud this application! Very thoughtful and comprehensive!

You probably suspect correctly. Not having additional cabling is a pretty big selling point of wireless technology.

Which will fail if apps check public keys manually, and is also not very efficient. I think we'll need to patch applications directly, but the good news is that since many people will need this, those patches will probably be developed.
Keep in mind that Stratfor is probably too young and to small to actually do anything more than pretending to be an actual agent and is probably doing mostly passive/analysis. I think half of this document is about circlejerking about their imaginary capabilities.
Looks like an amazing project! I've been a serial interviewee lots of times during my career, and having had this some time ago would have helped tons. I wrote an article exactly about this, hope it helps you!: http://www.developingandstuff.com/2016/01/10-questions-to-ma...
...motion sickness is not always what it seems, how do you not know that you have low level carbon monoxide poisoning from breathing in car fumes?

As a driver you may be that bit more alert with a road to concentrate on, as a passenger you might just be not able to fence off the symptoms - feeling sick, failing vision etc.

The reason I say this is that a Tesla has the best air-con, the auto-pilot and no emissions, so 'sickness' could be nothing to do with 'motion sickness'.
No mention of BGP in the article?
Hi David! Thanks for a great summary! I will keep an eye on your blog for notes from upcoming conferences.
Wow, thank you! Good luck with your own project too!
It is an old trope - I completely understand your point, but the fact is: wherever you're professionally going, PHP is <probably> not the language you'd like to use anyway. So why use it?

I could see how doing FORTRAN for a banking institution is a good way to make money; but PHP doesn't even have that.

Most of my closer friends with a Computer Science degree would probably try to stay away from PHP: neither does it pay better than other languages, and most of the companies that have chosen to work with PHP <probably> don't seem to be that appealing either.

Is that an old trope? Well, I am parroting the industry: I had worked with PHP and I had realised that none of the cool people with money would do PHP anymore. It literally is similar to not using git in 2017 - if you're still doing PHP, then you're probably a dying business or a really bad software house.
Good for you, but maybe consider we're talking about children there, who probably didn't even pick up the habit of reading yet ? (read about the catastrophic reading proficiency in children nowadays if you have any doubts about this kind of claim).
A better title would be "How RSA does not work".

I'm a bit annoyed by many of these crypto introductions that explain textbook RSA, which is not something anyone uses in a real world application. It is crucial for RSA to use a padding mode and that's where all the fun comes in and what decides about how secure the thing you're building is.
Universities spend millions on accessing results of publicly funded research
I tried fish and it seemed ok, I didn’t continue with it cause I needed to rewrite all my aliases and functions (work related not at home). From memory one was && vs “and” which we use a lot to chain commands. Something like implementing &&/|| would go a long way, compat command sub, closing if statements . I know it seems like a small thing to modify your aliases/functions but I would basically need to modify mine and be a maintainer for the shared ones.

I fail to see the problem with affiliate links in that context. The site openly disclosed that they use affiliate links to amazon. The site provides a value, a ranked list of compatible devices. I might actually use it if I were shopping around for a device. Building and maintaining it probably takes some effort. It deserves to get paid. If you think that all for-profit pages should be banned from mention then this here would be a barren place, devoid of links to useful services.

added after the parent modified his post:

Even after you changed your comment, I fail to see a problem. The poster explicitly says "I maintain", openly disclosing his affiliation with the site. The site does not recommend a specific device as "the best", it provides a list, ranked by a disclosed set of criteria from which you can pick. You can actually change the filters and the sort order - cheapest, graded by performance, ... We can agree or disagree on the specific sort criteria picked or the completeness of the list, but the grandparent actually does sometimes engage into discussions about this, soliciting feedback (and I presume implementing it). It adds value over the device lists that LEDE and OpenWRT provide.

The grandparent does mention the page every time the context makes sense, but alas, when else would he mention it? Would you prefer if the grandparent just posts the link as a reply to each and every post? He built something that adds value, so why not mention it? It's not like it's the only thing the GP ever posts. Seems more like a lurker from the comment history, but come on, the last mention was 141 days ago, it's not like it's spammy.

All in all your comment comes off as being jealous someone built something that provides a little income.

It's not really better today. Possibly even worse.

In 1998 there were fewer than 5000 different networks (Autonomous systems) on the Internet. Today that number is over 80K. Network operators used to personally know each other and their clients.

So the automatic filtering is better today than it was in 1998, but it can still be easily bypassed.

I know for a fact that even as a tiny network, all you need to do to get the some of the biggest networks in the world to accept your (real or fake) BGP announcement is to email their support center.
> The traveling salesman problem is NP-complete and therefore not known to be solvable in less time on a quantum computer.

That's only a problem if you need the exact solution. If you're OK with 99.9% quality, approximate solutions are much cheaper. So the question is, is it necessary to invest into that 1%?
Is it really that bad - I drove to Whistler once from Vancouver airport and I don't remember anything unusual about the road. Didn't seem that bad compared to similar roads in Scotland, Scandinavia or the Alps that I have driven on.

Kids will find something else to do if you take away one thing they weren't using responsibly. The problem is when, as in your case, you take everything away

Additionally, just because something gets a blanket ban doesn't mean the intent is to blanket ban. If the blanket ban simply encourages kids to only check their phones during breaks or when they go to the bathroom, that still has a pretty positive effect on kids using their phones throughout the day.

I honestly can't imagine the thought process behind doing what your primary school did. When I was in primary school the only restriction on play was that you couldn't tackle or do anything else that would obviously hurt people. I think you would legitimately either need to be a terrible person, a complete idiot, or both to ban essentially all forms of play.
I wouldn’t dismiss analogy so easily. George Polya opened my eyes to the power of analogy in math. I can’t recommend his “Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning” enough.
Sometimes their simplicity wins out. I have a TP-Link repeater that just plugs into a wall socket and that's it, very quick setup. I just want it for a specific room that doesn't get wifi coverage; this was cheap and convenient, I'm happy with it.

I knew I could do it the proper way, but there would have been a lot of work involved, with very little payoff.

Hi! Nice to hear from you.

Classical music has a very complex taxonomy and the so-called “metadata problem” hasn’t been solved by any streaming provider so far. There are some guys in Berlin that are creating a completely new streamer called Idagio, and it seems promising. But they are struggling to sign deals with labels, the process of adding recordings to their database is understandably slow, and subscribing a new streamer implies an additional cost to listeners.

I tried to solve the “metadata problem” using existing infrastructure: Spotify and All Music Guide. (Scraping AMG website sits in a legal gray area, I know.)

DBTune looks very nice; I recall a similar app in early 2000s called ClassiCat. Anyway, if you have the UPC of an album, it’s fairly easy to play it in Spotify.

Cheers!

Recently I learned that there were only four colours in rainbows, in medieval times. Then Newton came along and decided there were 'as many colours in a rainbow as there are notes in an octave'. This gave us the spectrum we have today.

Thie is completely the wrong approach. Rather, schools should work to ensure that all kids learn how to use digital devices (not just phones) for their own benefit. If all they see at home is parents or siblings on Facebook, Skype and mobile games, then that's what they'll do too. Schools have to teach for reality, boy try to recreate some unrealistic and nostalgic "how it was in the day". Look at Finland and Estonia, they use technology meaningfully in class and get great results. It's not about using it all the time, but about using it where it fits. Prohibiting phones will just lead to new ways of circumventing the ban, new kinds of conflicts, punishments for kids for living what is today a normal life.

If your only approach is to ban & punish, then those phones in kids' hands will be only used for whatever is the easiest low-value engagement. Teach kids that they can use Wikipedia, ebooks, educational videos, and creative tools to satisfy their interests, look up things from class that they don't understand, work together to make a presentation for class, programme Lego or other robots, practice vocabulary and interact with students from abroad in their second or third language, make little videos about the things they've learned, etc and you'll get great results. Frontal lecture causes distractions because it's fundamentally boring, unengaging and loses half the class. Tech can help - if used right. To give just one reference, out of thousands, see eg the OECD Report on this [1].

Tech can be really disruptive. And it can be a great facilitator for learning. It's about how it's used and whether students learnb to use it creatively, critically and constructively. You won't learn which mushrooms are edible by being kept out of the forest, and neither by being thrown into a forest and told to do whatever. You learn to understand what is edible, harmful, useful, ... if an experienced person that knows how to do so accompanies you in the forest once in a while and shows it, explains it and watches as you try to do it yourself in a real forest that you might encounter. Keeping kids away from phones, or allowing them to do whatever will have the same results - they'll play, eat the harmful mushrooms and fail to see the fantastic opportunities. Accompany them in using their own devices. That's the task of an educator today - teach kids how to live in today's world. Not smartphones every minute of the day, but also not forbidden. Use them were it fits. Show them what role they can play.

Principally, this requires teacher training, adapting curricula and testing, and efforts in particular to make sure no kid is left out. Those from good families with educated parents will mostly learn this through parents or after-school activities, but especially poor/migrant/otherwise low performing students will suffer if you don't make sure education teaches them for the world of today.

Really, really sad. This is a purely ideological move, catering to an older, reluctantly digital voter population. But it is also a betrayal of the very kids it claims to help.
