If you plan to run one VM on one physical machine, perhaps you don’t have to worry your neighbor reading your data. But a malicious program running on your machine CAN still exploit the bugs. In fact one can exploit the browrser via Javascript by taking advantage of Spectre. There is no way to avoid the vulnerabilities until you have patchrd your system and your software. The three bugs we know of is not a cloud vs dedicated choice.
I guess the argument is not just about US "happily admitts to having some enormous spy network in China", but about accuse other countries spy on US as if its a crime while US is very happy to do the same thing to other countries.

As analogy, you can accuse others stealing when yourself can stand on a moral ground of not stealing.

Or you can steal but then don't accuse others. That's fine because you don't see stealing is a crime based on your value. "great game" is as active as ever, every body is doing this.

But if you accuse others stealing while happily admit you steal all the time and in very large scale, then there will be surprise, not for every body but for some body.

"you" means anybody, could be "me", "s/he". No offense
I got down to 10 hours a week at one job. They never bothered to give me a pay rise, so I continued to do the same quantity of work, and tapered down my hours to compensate.

I never once heard them complain about my output.
I'm partial to ALPHA_START or FIRST_LETTER. While it's true that 'A' is both, the naming helps communicate that the context is range-testing for alphabets inside a larger character set.
The problem people have with Tether is their promise of 1 USDT = 1 USD.

Tether was kicked out of their HK and Taiwan banks, and now they are banking in Caribbean islands. They are supposedly holding $1.55 Billion USD cash in one of those banks to back USDT issued so far.

My question is, have you seen a Caribbean bank? Most bank HQs over there look like a 7-Eleven, and banks are owned by local politicians or shady characters. Anyone who deposits more than $1 million in those banks is a fool.
It'd be interesting to see the number of households that dropped from two cars to one because they didn't really need the second car often enough. It's just more cost effective for us to use Lyft as a second car when needed, since it's maybe for 6 trips a month.

However, before Uber/Lyft, having two cars was worth it because public transit where we live is trash if it isn't rail station to rail station. The buses run on 45 to 60 minute intervals and are always late.

Some UI components do need rework. Redundant search fields, password dialogs that fail to track the login state, etc.

It also strikes me as very odd that someone states that nobody needs UI work on a GUI app, particularly when GUI components make between 50% and 75% of thjs sort of app's code base

This is amazing I have tried even today to research starting an ISP it is still such a hard thing to learn about. Not sure if that's just because the isp hides it or what haha thanks so much for your share more info would be awesome
I want to recommend another technique these days:

1) Sign (HMAC) all the session ids that your server issues. This allows requests with bogus session ids to be rejected at the network borders without doing any I/O or hitting the database.

2) Use web crypto (now supported by all major browsers) to have clients generate a private key with which to sign all requests. Using session keys as bearer tokens opens users up to attacks.

3) Do NOT send passwords to the server! Use passwords to decrypt the private key, and do not expose the decrypted key to external Javascript. And make sure the key can't be exported.

4) Clients authenticate new devices using two-factor authentication. If the person is using a previously authorized device and knows their password this may be considered two factors already. Unless the password was saved, in which case they better have a password on their device. Ultimately you gotta trust the OS.

5) Authentication and authorization for data may be done automatically by a side-channel (QR code via camera, or bluetooth) with the proof submitted to the server by either device. Revocation ultimately needs a blockchain.

6) If you lost all your authorized devices, the backup should be: M of N public keys, plus a passphrase you know. This is only for rare cases and the passphrase can be weak.

No more passwords except for the above!!
Hahah :-)

Yeah it's a mess. GitHub is full of "Awesome XYZ" lists which are basically just dumps of links. Awesome Elixir is a good example, it's worthless and full of 2-year old unmaintained afternoon hacks.

The kind of genius associated with autistic syndrome appears to me that it could be a result of reduced functionality in certain brain regions related to social functions and boredom control. Most people do not enjoy focusing on a single activity for most of their waking hours. Someone who consistently practices a craft for 8 hours a day would accumulate >10,000 hours in just 4 years, sufficient to become an expert in most non-professional activites. Within 15 years, such focus would yield >40,000 hours which is more than the actual practice time most professionals have under their belt. (Most normal professionals do not really get to practice their craft 8 hours a day and they probably take more vacations than these ‘geniuses’ do.)

A further boost might come from less distraction and inhibition since their brains might not be influenced as much by the presence and potential judgements of other people. Genius-level work tends to be out of norm and most adults are conditioned to avoid standing out too much. If a potential Einstein were highly sensitive to established scientific worldview at the time, they probably would be discouraged from persisting for 10 years to solve the mystery in their imagination, or at least miss the path that veers off too much from the standard theory.

From the article: “Muybridge was no exception. After the bet, he moved to Philadelphia and continued with his passion for capturing motion on film, photographing all kinds of activities such as walking up and down the stairs and, oddly, himself swinging a pickaxe in the nude. Between 1883 and 1886, he took more than 100,000 pictures.”
> if the networks don't access a physically limited resource like the RF spectrum

Broadband cable/fiber are a physically limited resource to the installed lines, yes they can be expanded but they are not typically. They are using the same lines ran in the 90s just DOCSIS to get more throughput and duplexing.
I have tried even now to learn this stuff it's as if it's being censorsed haha its still hard but I can't even imagine back then. I would love to learn all you know on this subject
It takes weeks to actually get the fiber quotes. I only got that one quote last week after a month and still trying to get others. Now I need to spread the word more and gauge how much interest there is before I can really commit to it. So far, it seems promising.

What finally got me started up on it was seeing how fast and cheap some of the wireless equipment had gotten, specifically Ubiquiti's wireless mesh equipment. Still need a lot of research on how to engineer a solution to my situation.

> Many businesses incur costs to third parties that could be reduced or eliminated by trustless systems

The way you phrase this it sounds like a marginal reduction of costs, and maybe a marginal reduction in the auditor workforce. That’s great, and it will bring about some efficiency in the businesses it applies to, but it doesn’t sound like a story of transformational change and an unlocking of new value. Even in the worst case scenario, how big are auditing costs to a business?

Bitcoin 1/16/2018 – Free Fallin'
As always you distract from the discussion. What I wrote is 100% true. Rate-limiting is a shady thing here on HackerNews.
I am now documenting a last time what moderation tactics are going on here...

With rate-limiting it means your account gets so much worse:

* lowered the comment start-ranked to below normal
* news & comment votes are not counted at all, but only showed to oneself (fake increase)
* rate-limited writing comments and submit news (only 2 comment or 1 news submission per 6 hours)

It is very shady that this isn't documented or allowed to discuss at all. It seems to be an between state, only slightly worse is the also shady "shadow ban", which features exactly the same symptoms but also hides the comment for public users - users can opt-in to see "dead" comments (via the user settings).

You/your employee rate-limited my account, and a few weeks ago your employee shadow banned my account for a slightly not adhering to the guideline comment. If stepping 3 times slightly beside the guidelines (that are a moving target, an interpreted subjectively) is "serially for years" something is wrong on the other side, I am sure.

I have a good history of comments, the guy who rate-limited my account showed my account the middle finger. And there is no way to get a normal account status again.

What a pitty that Paul PG Graham left, and it turned so much worse since then. I am done with writing comments here, I am sure there are other better websites around, I am leaving the sinking ship.
Do bitcoin pumpers ever come up for air? None, I mean absolutely none of what you are writing will ever happen. Why? Because if Bitcoin boosters understood anything about politics, economics, math, finance, computer science, monetary policy, business, accounting, marketing or seemingly life in general.... they too would look at it and go "sounds way to good to be true. no thanks".

Every single thing in your post makes zero sense.... it is all breathless hype.

Bingo. All corporations have employees who have consumers' best interests at heart, and ones who don't. But a corporation exists as its own entity, and as an entity, google, facebook, and apple are against consumers, while mozilla is not.
It's easy to avoid duress when you share an ironclad alliance with the dominant military superpower in the world.

A useful perspective to look at the military budget through is: consider that outspending by multiples every other military power averts wars (because a WW2-scale war with the US would be suicidal). What's the price you would put on avoiding a war at that scale?
Yup he worked with Jack Parsons, the entire original crew of rocket scientists we're driven out and Jack Parsons was on his way to Israel when he "accidentally" died in the middle of moving. One if the other engineers moved to France and became a famous french visual artist. The Chinese member of the team was thrown out for completely racist reasons and went on to found the Chinese nuclear missile program. The social cost of racism is so immense it's mind boggling. Without racism neither NK nor China would have nukes. I'm

Seems like Laporte has a solid case with lots of documentation. He'll need it facing twitter's legal army.
Let's say we take your alternate approach and try to find someone already in the position we want, and turn them.

Who are you most likely to have leverage over: An ex-national with family still living within your reach, that you can use as leverage? Or some anonymous U.S. citizen who's been pre-selected for their loyalty by the CIA, who you'd have to first identify, then track down their family or other leverage, then coordinate a hostage situation in such a way that they wouldn't just immediately blow the whistle?

I don't think either option is easy. The spy game isn't meant to be easy.

They'll probably just have to pay licensing fees (as Apple does to Cisco for iOS and "iPhone" or to Apple the record co.) Legals can't just make trademarks go away.

Either way, should be interesting to see the resolution to this.

> you can't do "5 minutes of bycicling" when you have 2 toddlers

With two, that would be complicated. It's really not that uncommon to see parents ride with one though, with that sort of equipment : https://www.twowheelingtots.com/childbabybikeseatbuyingguide...

> Nor are your family going to have easy access to the multitude of other things I didn't mention: fishing, strawberry picking, corn mazes, safari, skiing, trips of various lengths, lift lock tour are just _some_ of the many many things we did last year.

That really depends on location. Living in a southern French town that has public transportation (bus and tramway) that leads to nice beach towns in 20 to 30 min, fishing is not an activity we lack. Leaving the city to get to the bordering countryside for activities like picking fruits, nuts and wild vegetables also takes about 30 min. When I was a kid I didn't need for my father to be home and drive me around if I wanted to go out and have fun eating wild nuts and berries.

France has a powerful train network and no matter where you live here, you're always close to a ski station, kinda.

> Drive three towns over one afternoon to ride in a carousel "because my wife heard it was a nice one" is the sort of thing we've done for the heck of it.

And the sort of attitude your grand-children will rightly judge you for considering the horrible impact your vacuous consumerism you're calling 'breadth' of experiences is having on this world. I would have abstained from this remark were it not for this latter quip :

> For example, imagine banks wanted to replace their clunky old ACH system with a blockchain. They could design their protocol such that it refuses to process transactions from or to an address that hasn't contributed a block to the chain in, say, the last 24 hours.. That requires each bank to contribute some minimum amount of computing power to maintaining the chain, even though it doesn't directly reward them for it.

But that is pretty much exactly my point. All that does is encourage people to mine just enough to keep the chain going, which does not ensure the security of the chain. There is no incentive to mine more blocks then anybody else.

With that said, I think the exercise is a bit futile to begin with - if banks have a serious dispute between them, they're going to handle it in the courts, so at the end of the day the existence of the blockchain only serves the purpose of holding the transactions and hopefully allowing then to be done faster and more efficiently. Which, a regular database could do just the same - you could even use Merkle tree to hold the data to ensure you could verify that older data has not been changed (By having banks keep their own synced copy of the database). Basically a blockchain without the mining. It requires a certain amount of centralization, but since the only parties are banks it wouldn't be extremely hard to handle that part. Which, you could technically still call this a blockchain, but without the mining and a decentralized way of deciding which chain is correct I think that's a stretch for what most people think when they're talking about blockchain. Specifically, per your definition, the blockchain requires some type of PoW/proof-of-whatever and a decentralized consensus, which this doesn't have.

And the above isn't actually all that theoretical. Ripple is a blockchain without a coin, but they fix the mining problem by not having any mining at all and instead having a central blockchain that they control. It's basically just an immutable database. So again, per your definition, they aren't really using a blockchain at all. And I'm not saying I disagree with your definition, but currently there are no examples of a decentralized blockchain using PoW that doesn't use a coin, even though there's basically everything else in-between.

I'm honestly not convinced that that there are really any situations that don't involve a coin where the blockchain with mining is a viable option, and where there aren't any better alternatives that would make more sense.

If you imply China is doing sabotage, then I would suggest you check your information source. My bet would be western MSM . The reality is sabotaging US is against China's own interest as the view by Chinese elite while most western MSM speculate otherwise.

On the other hand, CIA has a reputation of sabotage in history. Not against China in last couple of decades though.

I disagree and this is exactly the reason there is often so much dissatisfaction in the team with role of EM and consequently the rise of movement for "management-less organization". Why do you need bunch of MBA types just moving around from meetings to meetings and having no interest in how sausage is made while claiming to run the sausage factory. Delegating core technical responsibilities to some senior or principal is typical escape hatch adopted by such EMs. Such EMs are typically lacking monumental level of technical skills and delude themselves that somehow magical ill-defined "management" skills plugs those holes. The fact is that such EMs are not qualified to do pretty much any other duties such as hiring or firing except for making pretty Powerpoints to other higher up EMs who are exactly like them. In my opinion, non-technical management chains with views like above are precisely the reason why so many software companies are just B or C grade.
