That's my question as well. Judging by this thread, it appears we're not thinking hard enough about the unknowns, like what if Martian life is hostile to the microbes we depend on?

Are we welcome there? Will we have to engineer some kind of virus that's friendly to our life support that wipes out these unfriendly lifeforms?
FWIW, I understood what you meant and I agree.
i suppose a couple questions might cause some people to infer otherwise, so to be clear: it's not implying the behavior is "fine" or shouldn't be critically analysed.

ok. so, things like online death threats and other such things get talked about a lot, and i have two main questions:

a) what kind of conversion rate is there - that is, threats being acted upon (how many threats vs how many events)?

b) has there been any analysis that shows these threats are credible and should be considered as demonstrating legitimate danger?

(again, this isn't to meant to excuse such behavior.)

my question stems from the fact that there is a rather long standing "internet gaming culture" which provides a context for hyperbolic aggressive commentary and interpersonal behavior, that some people may not be familiar with. for example, for as long as i can remember (i started with quake 3 over modem) to lose a match was to 'get raped'. to go on a win streak was to be 'fucking raping everyone'.

my thinking is that the vast, overwhelming majority of 'death threats' are hyperbolic and aggressive, but also utterly throwaway comments void of danger. as a consequence, talking about real world fear and even actions (like moving house) doesn't really garner a sympathetic reaction from many in the internet gaming culture, because it (from their perspective) demonstrates either significant naivete and ignorance, or some kind of intellectual dishonesty (given the idea that the threats do not represent an actual danger).

> Most things in life that are worth it are hard

Nah, most things that are worth it are easy, but the easy worthwhile things you just do day-in and day-out and reap the benefits without reflection or even much notice of it as “doing something”. You only notice then when adverse conditions make them hard or impossible.

Most things that you need to put notable effort into (and that therefore don't fade into the background) that are worthwhile are hard, but the worthwhile part of that is superfluous, since the first part is equivalent to being hard.
Non-ISP transit providers would fill that need. Perhaps the ISPs would pressure them to not. Eventually a lawsuit would put an end to that.

Peering agreements are typically between two networks of comparable size. In the case of a regional ISP wanting to connect to the internet, they would paying for access to one or more Tier 1 or Tier 2 providers and possibly participating in an IXP.

There is much more competition in these markets and plenty of ISPs (e.g. CenturyLink) are also Teir 1 providers in markets where they do not act as an ISP.
Very funny, bro. Especially fish are big fans of conversations.
> Rust is basically C with hardcoded checks enforced and put in by compiler that good programmers already know to put in.

I have a feeling you know absolutely nothing about rust.

Even the best programmers and programs in C have issues with what the borrow checker will catch. Moreover, the expressiveness of the type system is world's above and beyond any other main-stream (so not Haskell or ocamel) language. Saying it's C with checks is like saying French and Hungarian are the same, but with some different words.

Raising a child is hard work, when they are a tween or teen it is even harder. My wife and I found a better system called Love and Logic that made it a bit easier. It would have been nice if we learned it earlier.

Our son is in college now and helps us out, while I help him with homework and edit his essays so he gets better grades.

Since 2003 I've been on disability and been mostly a stay at home dad while my wife works. I taught my son how to fix computers and build them. He fixed his friends computers and then learned how to fix cars, ECT.

I would go through it again if I had to.

Not everyone is cut out to be parents and children can vary, as you never know what you are going to get.
I've read "cracking the coding interview" over Christmas. One of the suggestions it had was to write the code on paper. Then write that exact code into your computer. Only when you've fully written it in, fix the errors.
This is a common complaint, and one the purist in me is sympathetic to. These days, I have a more nuanced perspective on English.

Yes, English is huge and complex. However, the things we are trying to express are themselves huge and complex. A big language gives us many many colors to paint with. I mean different things when I say I am "sad", "down", "blue", "disconsolate", or "woebegone". There is a learning burden on English speakers to loading such a large language in their heads, of course. But, in return, we get a higher-bandwidth communication protocol.

The complaints about pronunciation are also common and valid in many cases. Things like the Great Vowel Shift lead to words that no longer sound like they are written for little useful reason. But in some cases, pronunication varies between similar-spelled words because their etymology is wildly different.

A word's spelling carries both pronunciation and meaning. When the pronunciation varies, it is often because the underlying morphemes are different even though they are spelled the same. This means the spelling doesn't teach you to pronounce it as well as you like, but once you can pronounce it, the pronunciation helps you know what it means.

And, as a lingua franca for the world, I think English is great. English is riddled with loanwords and is constantly assimilating terms from other languages that can't already be expressed well. In many senses, it's a global language because it is the set union of them.
Your sarcasm is noted, but YES, the world does need high-IQ, high-conscientiousness people breeding far more than it needs low-IQ, low-conscientiousness people breeding.

Both of those traits are highly heritable, and both of those traits are going to be necessary to get this species off this rock rather than degenerating into watching reruns of "Ow, My Balls!" while energy supplies dwindle and climate change finishes us off.

True.

Because almost all of the CAs utilize a web control mechanism, with many of them probably having processes not as rigorous as HTTP-01, it is likely that there would be significant backlash and a lengthier migration away from the method for that case.

That said, anyone who can would be well advised to figure out how their DNS based mechanism would work if it were ever needed.

As I and others have pointed out, there are clever and fully supported hacks for validating dns-01 without dynamic control of the full domain zone. (CNAME to another zone for the _acme-challenge labels, NS delegation to refer each _acme-challenge label as an independent zone at a different NS, etc.)

> As software developers and designers, we have a responsibility to the world to think these things through carefully and design software that makes the world better

I’ve seen this opinion, especially in the post-2016 world. I’m not sure I agree completely. I think it totally misses the core issue, which is that somebody was incentivized to be paid to do this work. If you’re an engineer at Facebook who thinks the News Feed algorithm is tearing people apart, quitting is not going to solve the problem. Facebook has an incentive to make the algorithm the way it is. Your refusal just leads to your replacement with someone who will do the work (and get paid well for it).

That’s not to say that you don’t have a moral responsibility to stop doing work that makes the world worse. But “all software engineers in the world should refuse to work on bad things” is hopelessly naive. If you want Facebook to stop showing people crappy news, find a way to stop Facebook from getting rewarded from it. Write laws. Raise awareness. Write a competitor that does better. But refrains like these, I worry, are just hoping that everyone will commit to doing the right thing 100% of the time. There are better solutions.

This is cut and paste from Quora about why Liberals hate Pinker.

>>Pinker has committed an unspeakable sin, at least by Progressive Liberal standards. He believes the Man is born with certain built in modes of operation, particularly mental operation. Call them instincts if you must. In sure Man has a nature. Human Nature.

>>Progressive Liberals and those even further left are committed to the proposition that all of our so-called nature is learned, and that humans are infinitely plastic. Ergo, we can construct a new kind of human who works for the common good, is never "selfish" and never regards the work of his own hands as his property.

>>Naughty Steven. He believes that humans are basic selfish in the sense of being rationally selfish. That will never, never do. Naughty Steven. Shame!

I used to like reading papers but its been quite some time since I gave myself the dedicated time to do this. I only allow myself 5 minutes on any topic before I'm off to something else. Someone posted the links to the papers and after looking at the intro I realized I had everything I needed to understand the meltdown paper (and it seems, spectre) from my grad architecture class (shoutout to tomasulo!). Sitting down in the evening and reading through the meltdown was such a nice change of pace from my normal routine. I took notes and wrote down questions about parts that didn't make sense, and when I got to the end I found it so much more rewarding than reading some pop tech synopsis. I don't mean this in a superior way or that I'm special because I understood the paper, it was more about stretching my CS legs in a way I don't on a daily basis as a developer.

I might have less of an understanding about the real world implications until I look at the impacts, but people around me have been talking about it (at work, etc) and I realized they all had a pretty limited understanding of the vulnerability and how it worked (not because they aren't smart, they just didn't have time to read the actual paper and are more focused on how this affects us at work).

I want to make this a part of my normal routine, every week or so to pick an interesting, well written paper on a meaningful CS topic and have a leisurely, scholarly read like I used to do in school (well, in school there wasn't too much leisure to it).
Well, first of all, yes, 100% certainly -- if you try to buy insurance for uninsurable things, then you are taking a risk, and risks can have downsides.

And as for bearing the consequences, we simply do not have the capacity within the rule of law to make them bear the consequences. The people who made the decisions were extremely well compensated even outside of equity up until the moment when the house of cards came crashing down, and those people have now moved on to equally lucrative jobs -- hell, they can probably put on their resume that they managed to convince the government to give them billions of dollars to cover their asses, which is more than anyone else gets when their bad decisions come home to roost.

Without the bailouts there would at least be grounds to sue the individuals who created the situation when things unwound, because there would have been consequences.

I'm getting a little up in arms here because nothing triggers me more than the idea that macroeconomics is a science -- all the actions around the bailouts, and this narrative of "economic collapse" and "too big to fail" -- the same people who disastrously failed to predict the future before we're now trusting to predict the future. Einstein said in response to the fact that hundreds of scientists thought his theory was wrong by saying "if I were wrong, one would be enough". In economics, nobody would even consider their models to be incorrect, no matter how much they have been falsified.

> The [issue] insisted on hiring JPMorgan as an independent administrator in part because they wanted someone impartial to handle any disputes that might arise... Jo says. “They wanted assurances. So I agreed.”

I don't see any mention of lawsuits resulting in the involvement of JPMorgan, only those filed afterwards. The story [0] makes it sound like Jo acquiesced to hiring an "independent" administrator, which seems to be a case of no good deed going unpunished.

So I stand by the idea that complications from (seemingly voluntarily) hiring a third party executor for $230k puts the situation squarely within "first world problems", meaning caused by out of touch affluence. A family with lesser means would have had to work it out for themselves, under the pointed threat of the entire estate being immediately consumed by legal expenses.

>" It's bad enough that we face the daunting task of explaining this stuff to people who don't care about computers, there's no need to perpetuate misunderstanding among those who deal with computers for a living. Just read the real thing."

How did the author of the blog post perpetuate a misunderstanding? What is wrong with reading multiple sources and discussions on an a subject? Isn't that what we are doing here to some extent?

Because a definitive white paper was published this should be our only allowed source of understanding?

Its quite possible that someone could read this and then the more lengthy white paper and have them be complimentary. Not every programmer starts with the same level level or hardware and microarchitectural knowledge.

>"And on the subject of explaining this to others, it might surprise you how far you can get if you try to honestly explain how the attacks work."

Isn't this exactly what the author of this article did? In seeking to understand the problem hey formulated their understanding into a blog post.

It seems to me that's exactly what they did and there were no "tortured analogies" in this individuals blog post.

You need proof to file a lawsuit. A lot of it, especially if you claim must prove a pattern of behavior that is pervasive. If he didn't specify it, you'd say "well, there are no evidence of any specific behavior, only nebulous allegations, and we all know Damore is a liar, so he probably invented all this to justify his poor performance and hate for women". People say it anyway, but now know it's not true, because there is evidence.

Also, there's a bit of difference between "Let's discuss whether diversity is done right in Google" and "I will keep hounding you until one of us fired. Fuck you" (real quote), "We are at a point where the dialogue we need to be having with these people is ‘if you keep talking about this shit, i will hurt you." (again real quote), "We should be willing to give a wink and a nod to other Silicon Valley employers over terminable offenses" (trying to make your opponents unemployable), “You’re being blacklisted by people at companies outside of Google,” and, of course, "How do you let people know you don’t take their ideas seriously? … No-platforming fascists does scale. So does punching one on camera." and "Get in touch with your friendly local antifa" - this one is especially juicy as a lot of people insanely called what Damore did "violence" but then turn around and literally endorse actual physical violence.
