Yes, indeed he did! After leaving FPF, he unplugged for a while, taking a road trip on his bike. He spent a lot of time working on that bike.

The road trip was a great excuse to unwind after a lot of stressful security work. He ended up rejoining the industry—good luck stopping that guy from anything—and continued for many years helping other projects.

So, yes, it does sound like you were fortunate enough to cross paths with a terribly interesting individual. Cheers, in his honor.
There's nothing there that is impossible without a blockchain. The steemit website might as well issue its tokens using a simple database. Running it on a blockchain adds nothing except a 'shiny new technology' feel.
Death to maximizing shareholder value above other concerns, like customers and employees
You can't read the story, but I bet you still drive?
Compared to the stress I had before with a 6 hour a day commute in brutal LA and Ventura county traffics for an under-market startup gig working remote for a bigger, stable company is a dream come true. I do have to be up pretty early to connect out of state with the rest of the team, and I'm at an expert level in my field so those help. We're also slack-centric, which helps as well. It can be isolating and stressful but compared to the stress of commuting and trying to then concentrate in an open office this is like paradise.
Ads/recommendations are shown to you at an 'auction', companies bid in micro-second level timing to show you an ad/recommendation.

So, when you say that you get low quality ads, you are telling us that the bidders think you aren't worth much. Hence, you get the same ad over and over, because you are being targeted by the 'long tail' of the bidders. Also, they 'forget' you for the same reason, because you aren't worth enough to them to become a 'regular'.

It's not the bidders, it's that you wisely don't respond well to ads/recommendations on the internet.

No offense ;)

If by common parlance you mean amongst not electronics engineers, then I can see where you're coming from. The miscommunication that I'm seeing is asymptotic to the common misuse of Baud as a universal measure of bitrate...or in programmer speak, char and uint8 as immutable equivalents. From a hardware design perspective, qualifying the whine with coil transforms the remark from generally descriptive to technically specific with distinct implications.

Disassembly may not be required to trace root cause with high probability depending on the type of hardware exhibiting the issue, e.g. on a laptop, manifests upon affixing power adapter (as some have described) or tracks display pattern (as parent link).
Accounts are free, but interaction is not. There's a stake to be lost in these transactions.
I believe the goal was to identify the disconnect between what they envision and what the targeted users actually want. I’m in agreement that this is not something that I would want and am glad that the difficulties exist to being with.
We have an issue for mailing lists in GitLab here[0] if you want to leave any comments, but it's not a particularly active issue and I'm not sure how likely we'd be to actually build this into the product. I'll update this comment if I find a more active/fleshed-out issue for the same functionality.

Is that actually being done? The FreeBSD team got notified (late), the DragonFlyBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD teams did not get notified. Matt, of course, seems to have a patch already.

NASA JSC were still using Altos systems for word processing in the early 90s when I was there, complete with a dancing Snoopy screen saver. I wouldn't play with the cables because there could still be a legacy server somewhere humming away in the forlorn hope someone will need to print a station manual.
My thoughts too. This is essentially going to be the QWOP Racing League.
I would say 100% of it is society, to be honest. I grew up roaming the neighborhood, just like a lot of kids back in the 70s and 80s. It's not that our free-roaming childhood turned us into paranoid parents, it's that the very culture of the USA became vastly more paranoid.
Traps to Avoid While Unit Testing Vue.js

I don't think you need a blockchain to do that; just a data base. I don't think that the courts would even need a hash - just evidence that a photo had been made at a time, that it was stored somewhere would be a bonus.
They aren't mutually exclusive, but there is no evidence for the accusation.

It's just a thing people say is true and people accept as true because … reasons.
I'm all for P2P solutions and a more distributed Internet, but I'd like to add a few items to that list.

- Security in a P2P system is harder to get right. The system is distributed and each member has to trust more parties. This significantly increases the attack surface compared with a client that just needs to trust a single server.

- Not everyone is connected all the time, so network partitions happen constantly. It's hard to maintain a consistent state such as a chat log, not to mention anything more real-timey like the state of some real-time game.

- STUN and other NAT traversal techniques don't always work. NAT is horrible, creating connectivity between NATed clients is always a dice roll.

- Bandwidth - A dedicated server can have a lot of upstream bandwidth (to the clients). In homes, it typical to find (in some countries at least) connections that are heavily biased towards the downstream. So a 100Mbps connection (downstream) might have a 2Mbps connection upstream. Now say you want to have an 8 people video conference call, and all of your users have a 2Mbit uplink and need to send 7 copies of their video stream... What if it's a 20 person video call? What if half of them are on mobile?

- Bootstrapping - every P2P system still needs to have dedicated servers for bootstrapping. There are no pure P2P systems AFAIK.

- Client versioning and patching - a lot harder in a P2P system. With a central server - you just update the server and everything works. With a network of clients, things are trickier and you run the risk of partitioning the P2P network between different client versions.

- Monetization in P2P is hard(er).
Many many ambulance trips are non-emergency.

Even the emergency trips, it's difficult to say whether the person would have died if they didn't have an ambulance.

Overall this would be pretty hard to quantify.
Now getting TLS error!
If the photo was already on the internet in a server, there are already records (like the Internet Archive) to verify that it had to have been created prior. The blockchain only adds an additional proof, but can't revert some past history that some other entity can verify actually happened.
One problem is cross-vendor migration, because AMD don't support PCID.
I never said it was all it does. It's the reason AMP exists, and the reason certain users like it.

The "hijacks content" part is by itself unobjectionable, especially with this latest update we're discussing which fixes the URL bar issue. The other server will serve a checksum so Google can't tamper with the contents. That makes it just a free CDN.

Is the problem that you do not want Google to see your content at all? You'll need to use robots.txt to ban Googlebot. You can't simultaneously want to appear in Google search results and also not let Google see your website.

The required JavaScript is legitimately frustrating, I know. The AMP project has an article about why they did it that way:

https://medium.com/@cramforce/why-amp-html-does-not-take-ful...

Specifically, it's to prioritize resource loads. I personally don't think their explanation is very convincing. But whatever, maybe it's easier for them to do it this way or something.

I don't think Google is doing it to push changes which are profitable for them, though. I legitimately believe they're doing it to make the pages load faster and otherwise be better for the users. I don't even understand how it could be profitable in any other way.
Once again, the blockchain part of this adds nothing to the process, apart from complexity.

Is the charging process now trustless? Nope, because I still need to trust that once I make my deposit the real-world charging station will honour that payment. Is it decentralized? Of course not, I'm standing in front of a single charging station, not a zillion different ones. Is it immune to double-spends? As a user, I don't care.
I know you mean well but this sort of comment really upsets me because for many of us that means "when we die" as there is no obvious realistic hope.

I have been suffering for 15+ years since medical mistakes took my life and future. I have the whole cocktail of physical and mental pain as a result and every day is hell just surviving. I have lost everything including my means to meet even the basic needs of life independently and have fallen in nearly every crack when it comes to assistance as system after system failed me. I have only survived this long due to a large savings at the time of insult and a partial pension from my job. Friends and family have nearly all abandoned me. Despite my efforts haven't been able to "create" a path either.

This post is timely as I've been working on a draft for an AskHN last ditch post I intend to make soon to see if anyone has a plan or idea I have not already heard of for someone with so many limits to earn and survive. The things most people think are facts about options just don't work that way in reality. We are fighting the same issues everyone else in life is on TOP of the unimaginable physical and mental pain. Many people are left behind and many systems are broken. My life is filled with seemingly insurmountable barriers...my physical condition, access to needs, finances, age...and ending things is a daily consideration. I don't WANT to die but my wants don't pay the bills nor reduce pain. I have one option to live...start over and compete with every healthy person who is also trying to survive. I don't see how I can...

I have never talked to a suicidal person who WANTED to die when you drill down...they just wanted their pain to end (whatever that pain is) and there was no way in this life they could find to do that. For them it did pass...when they did. So that phrase brings me no comfort as intended.
Can't speak for GP, but what I took from the quote and GP's response was that the advertising industry is kind of in a monopoly position of being able to screw all consumers over with nobody to reign them in, and now that someone is finally standing up to them and making it every so slightly more inconvenient for them, they're throwing a hissy fit, and that their statement kind of shows that they're well aware of all this and are pretty fine with it actually, and not even really trying to hide it.
It's cool that we are getting heavy things to have feet but why?

Verifiable oracles are extremely hard to create. In fact I think that the creation of verifiable oracles is the single biggest challenge facing science and engineering. Full disclosure, I am quite biased about this since part of my PhD work is to create a language to specify measurement processes.

How do you know whether the numbers you are getting reflect something about the real world? How do you know that your data hasn't been tampered with intentionally or unintentionally?

Data provenance is extremely difficult, and that is only half the problem. The other half of the problem is determining whether you have actually measured what you think you have measured. (Note: there may be some additional halves lurking around as well.)

To give some concrete examples. You find a picture of a CEO groping someone, how do you know whether it is real? Does it matter if you want to short the stock of the company, given that you know that other people will not verify it? What if the photographer's camera automatically pushed a stream of hashes of sensor contents and GPS locations to a source with a verifiable timestamp?

How about the equivalent for a microscope sensor to ensure that the raw data from the sensor was verifiable, and that all transformations of that data needed to be published in a form that would allow anyone to verify that the raw data could be transformed to the final data?

How about a contract that specifies that if a freezer temperature rises above X degrees C for more than 3 minutes then the freezer owner must pay Y dollars to the owners of the contents of the freezer. What does it take to build sensors that the owner of the freezer would trust enough to enter into such a contract?

tl;dr Verifiability of data from oracles is extremely difficult, and much a bigger challenge than building a blockchain that could make use of it. GIGO will be a big stumbling block.
You offered no evidence for the statement "Clearly, Apple is always on its own side".

And that's my point.

This is a thing people say, sans evidence, that is then excepted as a gospel truth because it makes some amount of
"evil businesses are always evil" sense.

I don't think it's that simple.

Nobody wants their privacy invaded, but they do want cheaper products. In theory better targeted ads allow a company to spend it's advertising budget more effectively. Selling more products for the same amount of ad cost should allow for cheaper products.

I'm sure some companies will not pass on the savings, but I believe economic theory says the market as a whole should.

If the savings are enough, some people may be willing to give up some of their privacy in the name of cheaper products.

How much more do companies make? Is all this invasive tracking really necessary in order to keep websites like Google and Facebook free? Is it worth saving 10% (or whatever) on some product?

Unfortunately the decision is forced upon everyone by advertisers with little thought to allowing for an informed choice (or any choice really).

> Alternatively, the distribution of value in the blockchain paradigm can be described with fat protocols and a thin application layer. This paradigm shift is possible due to the innovation of cryptographic tokens.

As a long-time decentralization activist, this sentiment makes me want to tear my eyeballs out. Why are cryptographic tokens necessary to implement fat protocols? Why does "standardizing communication across applications" now also have to mean "implementing a global, secure financial market" in the process?!? This is maddening to me and nobody has explained to me why blockchains are a requirement to do this.
There's no safeguard here. The smart contract is a red herring. Smart contracts cannot see or alter the real world, they have to trust that someone does that for them. In the example of the charging station, there's no safeguard that proves that the charging station will charge my car once I have deposited cash. You can analyse all the lines of the smart contract and the workings of the blockchain, but it is wasted effort: I have no way to know whether or not the charging station will ignore the blockchain's state.
I was gonna come here to complain about the poor UI. I don't think a lot of thought went into the information architecture here. Internet speed test is a top-level nav item?

The download stats are misleading too -- the top 2 projects are MS's truetype fonts and an old (outdated) Notepad++ plugin repo that is encouraging you to go to Github instead.

I can't think of a good reason to use SourceForge for anything.
Me? Several, for which I pay yearly.

This (aside from censorship) is why China doesn't let US tech companies in. There is just straight network value to be captured in certain services that will be there no matter who provides it. Why pay a tax to another country for every domestic taxi ride taken, etc.?
I watched till the end waiting for a punchline that never came.
Yeah this happened to me, my house got shot up and a bullet whizzed over my desk (where I would have been if I was at my computer) and into the wall over my sleeping head.

The police response was basically "well, sometimes people do this, but they usually don't hit anybody LOL". I didn't expect a full-on CSI investigation but really, my girlfriend or I could have died, I wanted something. There were never any charges, and I'm pretty sure there was no investigation beyond writing the report. It was really disappointing and disillusioning.
To me, the biggest issue with something like IRC is that any messaging system that only supports client-side search of message history feels anemic in 2017. It needs to be seamless to use the system across multiple devices some of which will not be always online, which requires server-side history and search. Maybe you could cobble something together to achieve all of that using IRC, but even if you could it wouldn't be anywhere near as seamless as something like Slack.
You're right; I think I did miss your point. Thanks for clarification.
The client is sending 5000 requests * 16 threads from what I can see. Still seems like a useless microbenchmark.

From SVN I cut my teeth on Hg/Mercurial, which had a much simpler barrier to entry and feels more user friendly. Mercurial and git solve the same basic underlying problem, distributed repositories, but in the "next gen vcs war" (if that was even a thing), git won out by a huge landslide largely due to a little site called Github.

As I've dived into the nitty gritty of both, I find it seems you can get more out of git because it just exposes those internal structures unabashedly. I believe it's those guts that make git as powerful or as hard as it currently is on UX. To use a loose analogy, git feels like man pages: rocket science speak but incredibly dense whereas Mercurial is like a very lightweight howto site. It's easier to transition to Mercurial but once you find you need to dive deep, it's just about as complex as git. Git seems to throw you in the deep end immediately which I do think is more of a blessing than a curse but there are times when it doesn't quite feel that way.
Punishing people despite them having broken no laws is obviously nonsense.
His writing indicates he believes his readers are "more intelligent", and he believes that first borns are "more intelligent". So yeah, if you were a second born, who was more intelligent, you'd dismiss his blog as BS, and would not be counted among the survey respondents.

In this case it sounds like it was the child's fault though? Reading the article I can't quite agree with the notion of "she killed the child". Rather, the child killed himself. He suddenly darted out into the street in front of a moving vehicle. So to me the accident sounds like the child's fault rather than the driver's.
Similar reason on why evolution doesn't have wheels — less restrictions on where it can go.
I don't think you can allow two speculatively executing instructions to read from the same L0 cache.

For example say the memory address you want to look for being cached is either 0x100 or 0x200 (not realistic addresses but it works for example) based on some kernel memory bit. Then run instructions in userspace that try to fetch 0x100 (with flushes in between). If you notice one that completes quickly, then it must have used the value 0x100 cached in L0 cache by the kernel? (and also run over 0x200 to try and check when it's cached in L0)
Why? Putting blockchain in there just adds more FX transfers. USD<->GBP now becomes USD<->BTC<->GBP, so why would you expect that to reduce costs and improve efficiency?
I have CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION on. I roll my own kernel and all that.

Trying the kaslr program right now, it's not figuring out the direct map offset and it's probably already been a minute or two. So it works?

EDIT: After 40 minutes, it has attempted all addresses and did not find the direct map offset.
Ad network serving and tracking pixels are most of page load speed now...which is largely Google and Facebook's fault.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I don't want to have children, and very large part of that is the fact that I don't want to cause someone to hurt as intensely as many do growing up. I know I and my siblings had a very difficult time.

In other words, it's out of love. I am keeping someone safe.

I very much respect anyone who has chosen to have children and is dedicated to protecting them and keeping them safe. The world needs more people like you.
I haven't noticed Windows Defender causing significant slowdowns for processes which access lots of files except when it does a full system scan (which is not often). Even then, it's only barely noticeable.
Yeah. As the saying goes, "a CPU is literally a rock we tricked into thinking".
