High performance turbofans and modern semiconductors are the most closely kept technologies in the west and Russia. You can’t easily reverse engineer them from end products, they are all about process. It’s reasonable that these are the last technologies left for China to master.

Given the number of people I've seen step away from their desks without locking their machines (in the tech industry, no less)...I don't think "hack relies on physical access to the machine wontfix" is an entirely reasonable response from the Chrome team.

Maybe they could make you enter the system password for this action too like they did with saved passwords (earlier, saved passwords were visible in plaintext but now you have to enter the system password to see them)
blockchain without cryptography is like writing a data structure without any motivation for its existence. i.e. why hashtables were created in the first place? To have indexing (faster access than simple array/lists). What would be the point of a blockchain without cryptography? You cannot call that blockchain IMO (otherwise, any chain of blocks would be a blockchain, for example: a file is a blockchain, right?).
Is this going to trickle down to Lambda? If so what's the implication there, anything interesting?

Using a TXT record for this purpose would achieve nothing. Just like an SSLStrip attack would strip https:// links and redirects, an attacker can simply block or spoof the DNS response. This doesn't add anything that you don't get with regular header-based HSTS.

DNSSEC has no practical impact on this due to a lack of adoption both on the domain and end-user resolver side. (Not to mention that it's a terrible protocol.)

Note that the HSTS preload list is not only used by Chrome, but practically all major browsers. For all intents and purposes it currently is the central source of truth. I imagine if the size ever becomes a problem, browsers will switch to a mechanism like Safe Browsing to distribute the list.

> wouldn't I just handle the rebase from master by resolving the conflict

(a) No, because there is no conflict. It gets merged "cleanly" without you realizing it. (Let me emphasize this: merge is NOT guaranteed give a correct result if it happens cleanly. This is just one example.)

(b) No, obviously in general doing foo3() at the end will not give the same result as doing it in the middle.
Thanks! I have been running DD-WRT for a while and was displeased that their updates were unofficial builds served over HTTP, ugh. LEDE looked right up my alley and this evening I went ahead and installed it from the SSH window of my DD-WRT install. After a few hours I had the OpenVPN server in "road-warrior" mode with all firewall rules functioning and now I just finished up getting my USB drive mounted on it. It's really slick, thanks a ton for the suggestion!!
> I'm not sure how this will play out in practice though.

I'm very skeptical. This doesn't sound necessary, or in some cases even very smart. An extremely niche use case.

If you want to see what death of NN will mean in practice, look at what companies were willing to do in order to test NN regulations in the past. Hint: it's not prioritizing medical traffic.

> The point is that for an ISP, Internet packets are routed via dozens of network interconnects and millions of content sources on a variable QoS consumer demand basis.

The 2015 order may or may not be the best implementation of net neutrality. But I think it's entirely reasonable to have a regulation that says "you can't change what you charge / how you behave based on who is on the other end of the line, but you can -- in a pricing-agnostic way -- prioritize/shape traffic".

> I'm just pointing out that the electricity analogy is inaccurate.

I'm still not convinced.

You can equally make the argument that in a brown-out, electricity companies should be able to prioritize consumer-grade medical devices and so on.

The only difference is that it's easier to implement this prioritization.

"because we can" is a really poor justification for doing something.

The key property for crypto randomness here is that these high energy particle events (be that cosmic rays, background radiation, etc) are not just random, but independent from thermal noise. They are few and far between but they affect each sample somewhere. One way or another all that entropy will get hashed, and having even few bits that are contributed by independent phenomena makes final hash extremely hard to attack.

Considering all sources that contribute noise to sensors (thermal, light photons count, high energy particles, shot/RTS noise, and i'm probably missing a few), all with unique distributions and characteristics makes each sample readout very hard to predict.
venezuela shows exactly why bitcoin cannot be used as currency. venezuela currency lost its value because the trust in central authority has evaporated, meaning it is now decentralized. look at it - venezuela currency value graph looks like bitcoin value graph upside down. people are quoting different value. some local areas are creating their own currency (just like bitcoin forks!). it is totally out of control. nobody can use it as currency.
> Not sure where this idea comes from. Air combat cannot be commanded. Or you mean something else.

Obviously nobody commands the entire fight since the enemy also gets a say in what happens.

What I meant is that Chinese pilots are trained to take direction from ground controllers that are looking at the integrated air picture from all of their surveillance systems. It's called ground controlled intercept (GCI). China and the former Soviet Union countries are heavily reliant on GCI. The idea is that the pilot is busy flying the plane and can't see the integrated picture in the cockpit, so a person on the ground that can see the full picture and isn't distracted by flying can make better tactical decisions about which targets to engage, when to shoot, and when to go out (turn away). A Chinese pilot hears on the radio "Callsign, turn to heading 170, Mach 0.9, target 5 miles" and doesn't know what else is going on around him. The GCI style gets severely degraded when communications go down, because the pilots lose the guidance in their ear.

The comparison is that western pilots are told what the air picture looks like and then the formation commander decides who to target. Western pilots hear "Hostiles at x position, y position, and z position" and then mutually decide who each person is going to target based on contracts (they pre-decided on the ground that #1 and #2 in formation get the northern target and #3 and #4 get the southern target, whoever is done first gets the trailing target) and then listening to the formation commander to catch any mistakes. It's complicated for the pilots but works better when communications go down.

If that is an issue for you, you could try using the implementation I wrote for boringssl. It avoids SIMD multiplications altogether and only uses simple AVX2 instructions, so there is no slowdown (AFAICT) although it is not as fast as AVX512VL from OpenSSL in benchmarks.
The video they mention in the article of Ajit Pai isn't really "mocking" in my opinion. It's more of the out of touch marketing that most companies get into. It just so unfortunate that it completely skirts every issue most people have with the word "can." You "can" still watch 'Game of Thrones', if you pay. You "can" still 'gram food, if you pay. It's just a sad attempt to swindle "internet people." The amount of tried manipulation is staggering, with the dog and the notable pop culture references.
A couple of months back I wanted to try Razorpay for receiving payments from my app users. Just like donate button in PayPal. But Razorpay was not supporting independent developers at that time.

But you are not - as I recall there are subsidies given to the telcos and telecom spectrum and rights of way are on public grounds.

So from the get to it’s not comparable to other industries.

A specific weakness of your argument - Your position holds for a certain kind of investor but has nothing to do with running a business of building a business- nothing to do with Operations.

The risk profiles and returns on telecom are known, and so investors in it know what they are getting.

So telcos can raise debt, with maturity and interest rates suitable for them.

And financiers spread risk. If black stone doesn’t want to invest in telecom, some other firm or telecom focused fund will invest.

At the end of the day, there are only so many above average or average returns you can get per billion of dollars - so people invest in multiple industries.

And when they invest - they examine (comp/compare) the firms against the others in their market.

I know because i saw the models and the comps.

Deep Learning frees you from the need to do "feature engineering" and usually works much better than methods which require such process. I'd instead recommend everyone to "dive deep" into deep learning and once they master it, get acquainted with classical methods that still might get used here and there. I understand it's difficult to let go of what you worked very hard to understand when you were studying ML, but such is life, "sunk cost fallacy" should not you blind from seeing 95% success rate of DL while observing paltry 60% success rate with SVM/HMM on the same problem. Just let it go.
If it’s a market then the usual market forces need a way to work. Ie. If a college can’t reliably create employed workers the colleges need to feel that loss.

Interrupting the signal isn't how multistatic radar works. You actually get two signals, the first is the transmission that traveled in a straight line to get there, the second is the one that bounced off the plane and took a little longer to get there. By measuring the time delay you know how much longer two legs of the triangle are from the third. By doing this with multiple receivers you can solve a system of equations to figure out where the plane is. Solving the system of equations to make all the triangles work out is why it's called triangulation.
This is hard to believe that it really works:

a) For all these tracking scripts acompanying each ad it should be trivial to detect that the window is invisible and really nothing is even hovered

b) For everyone it should be easy to detect that a page that was loaded in the background redirects after a short time. It should be so easy to find these pages manually and ban them.

Why does such an obvious and primitive technique like popunders with auto-redirecting "webrings" even work at all???
> who worries about this, or would consider cutting social security due to drinking or gambling?

We don't consider that because we maintain the polite assumption that people get paid from social security after they retire because they paid into it while they were working. There are plenty of cases where that's not true, but we allow ourselves to treat them as outliers, and assume that the money people get from social security is basically "their" money; the government just saved it for them.

UBI removes the option to think of things this way. I think a lot of UBI proponents have not fully considered the implications of that.

Doesn't this clause seems not backwards compatible with GPLv2?

At face value GPLv3 seems more constrained - so it's easy to relicense an existing v2 project. You just tell everyone working on it, okay, now every addition we make has extra requirements (if you want the looser version, you can grab an older copy of our project from when we switched licenses)

Loosening the license on pre-existing code is sorta like if you wanted to make the project (like the Linux kernel) BSD. You'd have to have everyone who has already contributed to agree to loosen the license on their work. If one person thinks "Hell no! I want people to be severely punished" then you're in for a headache.

So then GPLv3 isn't a "superset" and compatible GPLv2? Or did am I misunderstanding something?

> Rebase should be the weapon of choice [....] People are too enamored with the SVN ways though

I'd expect SVN users to be quite comfortable with rebasing. `git pull --rebase` is effectively the same thing as `svn update`. You just couldn't commit unfinished work when using SVN, so the changes were loose in the working tree, rather than stored in local commits.
This was a nice write up which I enjoyed a lot. Thank you!

It may be too late for a lot of people. My mom called me today, she's a retired teacher in her early 70s, and the guy installing her new gutters in Mount Vernon, WA (USA)* just put a few grand towards Bitcoin and now my mom is thinking of making a significant financial investment in the same. She has not-a-single-clue what Bitcoin is, does, or could do. She only knows that it is all over the news and everyone, including the handyman installing her gutters, is throwing money at cryptocurrencies (though few call any by that name). Everyone is hoping to get rich quick.

These are the questions and issues the blockchain others in this thread mean can deal with, while, for example, these questions don't exactly make sense for, for example, git.
