Perhaps then your definition of 'expert' is incorrect? Would it not be that the ones who saw it coming were really the experts? And those who laughed at them were anything but? I would argue that those who laughed at the doomsayers of 2000 & 2008 are the same as those now arguing that BitCoin can only go up.

>a UI design problem.

When a military general or Secretary of Defense asks if the 1960s missile warning system is working "correctly", it means it's working incorrectly when the moon is categorized as an incoming enemy attack.

Likewise, when a general asks if the 2018 warning system is working "correctly", it means the system is designed incorrectly if the pixels of text on the screen[1] lead operators to trigger the unintended action.

Categorizing one error as a "radar error" and another as a "UI error" as if they are 2 disconnected concepts of correctness is missing the point of BCS's essay.

When people think of something working "correctly", they want the whole system to work correctly. They will not explicitly enumerate all the subcomponents nor all the subdisciplines such as "UI design".

the original impetus for 'build your own ISP' started from a HN discussion, and frankly i think its where it should end.

Detroit is a sterling reminder of the hubris of a generation in the wake of late stage capitalism. Naturally, creating your own internet in the wasteland that was once americas crown jewel of middle class prosperity seems not only natural, but necessary as the economic incentive from private industry is nonexistent.

For the rest of us, effort is best spent in cultivating a healthy local network. build your own open source router, control traffic according to your own best practices. For example, limit advertising servers and telimetry servers so as to diminish the unspoken incentive the repeal of net neutrality and operating systems that do not respect privacy. Host your own VPN for security and DNS server to avoid SRVFAIL hijacking.

You'll need to mask page size if your trying to hide your access, even on a shared host with 100 domains I doubt you'll have pages where the byte-size isn't unique.

I think with https the results were something like 90% of page access could be guessed using meta-data (see eg https://web.archive.org/web/20090308103611/http://sysd.org/s...). That's going to drop when you don't know the site but you're going to need more counter-measures to hide your access effectively.

> some preferences can be more expensive to deliver than others

I don't think that a kb of facebook is significantly more costly to deliver than a kb of github.

ISPs bill by kbs consumed or a flat rate according to bandwidth availability. In the second case, even if some consumer groups use more bandwidth, it is not consumer's fault. ISPs sell you some capacity, but they underprovision and are therefore affected by total consumption. Without underprovisioning, costs should be out of the equation.

However I agree with you that this point is hard to argue in court.

The point isn't that you can't or shouldn't do it, but that it is much more trouble than you might think for many people. There are implications that apply to others that you might not see or care about for your particular situation.
Out of curiosity, where did you live and what sector did you work in? From my own experience, I agree that the businesses that were excited about computer technology were businesses with high amounts of inventory and paperwork where automation could greatly simplified their business processes, and that many of these businesses were located in urban centers that were at the forefront of infrastructure. These large businesses can make large profit by cutting margins by a few points, so it made sense for them. It was from small to medium sized businesses where I saw the most resistance, both from a cost and a cultural point of view. I demonstrated broadband internet to individuals at the time and still couldn't convince them of its merits, so I don't think everyone then understood the implications of fast, always on internet.

Even just 5 years ago, I worked for a tech company in the self-storage industry, and many large operators were still running their entire businesses in physical ledgers with no equivalent computerized records. There is still a strong resistance among many older businesses to convert to computerized records, despite the clear cost savings that can be demonstrated at this point. Reasons include not wanting to learn a new system and being afraid that the business couldn't run if the internet goes out. As I said, this was in 2012.
I've done menial jobs; I remember a summer job that involved picking up a little foam square and putting it right-side up on a bit of plastic, one per idk, two or three seconds. It was glorious in a way, I could let the mind wander, listen to a bit of music, and time just flew by. Oh and I got paid too.

I think everyone should do some boring work from time to time.
That’s true but this was a standard point of bitcoin marketing for years, and a big reason why it was popular in libertarian circles. It was never true but a lot of people wanted to believe — basically the economic equivalent of the guys who think using strong encryption on their data means that a government will give up.

GPU can perform more operations than CPU, but GPU is slower than CPU, not faster.
UI design is a different disciplines than software design, the Hawaii missile alert issue was a UI issue the software presenting the UI worked as intended. The issue is that we consider UI design as software and we perform UI testing (which is not even testing the UI but the software underneath) and we say everything is good we are ready for prod.
The thing with menial work is that it doesn't require much mental strength - just get on with it, or, have a boss tell you to get on with it. There's something liberating about it. Which is counter-intuitive because some will associate manual labor with slave labor, communist propaganda, lower-class stuff, unworthy work for unworthy people, that kinda thing - but it really isn't.

Especially if the theory (and its assumptions) behind how it works is flawed. And there always is such a theory, even though it is rarely ever stated explicitly in any form but the source code. You build that theory with each statement and expression you write, from the considerations and decisions that led you to writing that particular line (BTW, included in those decisions are the choices you made about what to test for (and, implicitly, what not to test), and how each test is implemented.)

That is the point the author is making.

Samuell, please note that we are shipping Luna together with Atom.io app. Look at `.luna/config/luna-studio/1.0/atom/packages/luna-studio/lib`. The main Luna Studio lib is around 35mb on my computer. There is also a compiler and some small plugins. Everything else are npm's node_modules and Atoms ecosystem. We will distribute Luna Studio without Atom in the future, then it will be super-lightweight.

This doesn't seem very likely because the bitcoin calendar future curve is in contango: http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/bitcoi... .

In other words, further out futures dates are trading higher, so short investors in bitcoin are making money by rolling forward their short contracts. If long players were "trying to trap the short futures traders" they're definitely not succeeding.

I think two forces are at work here. First is that a lot of people who held on the way up realize finally a lot of their savings are tied up in a super volatile asset. As they see how much of their wealth can be wiped away in day, they're moving some amount of their savings out. (Now to have gotten to here in the first place, these long term holders are not intrinsically against risk since mathematical volatility equal / higher in the past; they just don't like this volatility when half their wealth is in it!)

Second is that people are still finding out about cryptocurrency. Crypto represents still less than 1% of the total real asset holdings of the world, so this would drive the price up. But this process is slow moving.

With pleasure - (CTO of DNSFilter, this is my world)

DNS over DTLS (RFC 8094) speaks only to UDP
This could be compared with DNSCrypt's implementation

DNS over TLS (RFC 7858) is TCP focused

DNS over HTTPs is focused on... you guessed it, HTTPs

So all the same thing, all trying to add security and privacy, just over different transport mechanisms.

While we're at it -- you did not mention DNS over QUIC: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-huitema-quic-dnsoquic-00.htm...

Some factors which start to come in to play with the various options are:
Compatibility with firewalls and proxies (DNS over HTTPs wins, others over port 853 have a disadvantage, even if you put them on port 443, they may get stopped by deep packet inspection)

TLS Improvement knobs: 0-RTT, TCP Fast Open, etc. (You can find a summary of these here: https://dnsprivacy.org/wiki/display/DP/DNS+Privacy+Implement... )

And closely related, performance. It's tough to beat a lossy protocol with minimal overhead (UDP), but there have been a lot of improvements with Keep alive, eDNS0, pipelining, etc.

We're currently doing a lot of testing around this, as we are working to offer useragents and LAN proxies implementing DNS over TLS, compared with DNSCrypt.

Finally: DNSSEC. It lives in a different part of the 'security' spectrum here... The purpose of DNSSEC is to be able to authenticate the validity of an answer when traveling through untrusted parties (say you're using a third-party resolver, or do you trust your ISP's DNS to not mangle with responses). It does not encrypt request/responses. It does not provide privacy. It answers the question: "Can I trust this response I received for example.org to be the one that example.org intended me to receive?"

I am not disliking these features, only was commenting that in my limited knowledge of Kotlin, functional features like these ( which I have come to like from using them in clojure) did not appear like the core design elements of the language.

Others have filled in the detail of origin and meaning. Yes, my intent was to use another neologism to add an ironic tone. Language is always changing.
We all have greatness within us, but most of us have "too good" of brains. See, the brain is designed to detect risk and avoid it at all costs. It often makes things up.

You see a folded up rug in an alley-way, you think "Oh no, is that a person, am I being robbed?"

You never see a person and think, "Is that a folded up rug?"

The brain always jumps to the worst possibility. It calls Math.ceil() on risky situations.

Perhaps these traumatic injuries have changed their thresholds in terms of "what is a risky situation?"

Relative to trauma, perhaps things like creativity ( which is risky to your social status ), doesn't seem risky.

Risking social status is the mark of any success. Being willing to fail publicly(at least risking it) is required! After trauma, it's probably easier.
It's also has legal requirements to accept it for settlement of debt, and in practice is issued almost exclusively as repayable debt...
Honestly I think stories going with this angle are trying to rationalize the price tumble in some way which makes it less scary than the reality which is crypto valuations aren't tied to anything rational.
Good write up. The following blurb got me thinking:

"In the industry we refer to "airgapped" systems; this is a reference back to the days when connecting to a network required wires, so if there was a literal gap with just air between two systems, there was no way they could communicate."

If we know the Internet is a scary place why do nuclear plants, power plants, etc. have Internet connectivity?
I agree with a lot of what you say, but I don't think we're at the visionary stage yet. Right now we're inventing TCP/IP. At that point, the best you could say is that we're developing technology for a global communications network. And people would reply "We have that, it's called telephones, and we already own the equipment today".

TCP/IP alone wasn't enough to sell people on the idea of the Internet. We had to invent POP3 and NNTP, then eventually HTTP. Even after we had the web, people still weren't sold on the relevance of the internet, but at that point, we had visionaries who could start to paint a clearer picture.

To compare them to the internet, blockchains and cryptocurrencies aren't even out of the DARPA yet, by at least 20 years. The point I was trying to make is that the Internet took more than a decade to really come into its own, and blockchains will take as long as well. Skepticism is welcome, but closemindedness isn't.

You comment like if internet access was a given: always available, fast, (free), etc. which is in practice not the case for everybody everywhere. Availability problems also occur at the other end: remember when GitHub was down because of an issue with Amazon S3.

And it also extend to updates: if a webapp make an update that's breaking productivity for some reason, you're screwed. On the other hand, you can ignore them on desktop and work like you always do.

Also there is the data ownership, privacy and professional secrecy problematics. Why should I give every bits of my data to an external entity who can then do everything with it when I can do the processing on my own hardware? This is a total none sense.

So there is many reasons for desktop app to be still relevant.
