Fair enough. The point remains, information is leaking into the microarchitectural state and then being extracted from there -- quite different from earlier attacks which simply exploited the fact that the microarchitecture resulted in certain operations during a cryptographic computation being faster or slower depending on the data being handled.

When twitter was new and fresh, I could see this happening... there was a time when more people had heard about TWIT than twitter... but those times have changed, now I'd assume it's many orders of magnitude that people have of twitter and no clue that TWiT exists or has ever existed.
Maybe twitter could just buy them out and make them a part of the core service somehow - everyone can get money and press and benefits.

Why would anyone want to make an app look Win10 "native"? It looks horrible (something is always up with the font rendering) and I'd actually prefer a WinForms app.
>Does the law unambiguously define "common carriers" as including ISPs or does it empower FCC to make that definition? If the former, why FCC needed to make that definition at all and why it made it only in 2015 - the law clearly existed long before and so did ISPs?

The law defines common carriers in a vague way meant to refer to a telephone provider. The vague way allows one to argue that internet is also included, but it's all on interpretation. Which is why it's in the courts.

>what happened in 2015?

Before 2014, ISPs were not labeled common carriers, but the FCC enforced net neutrality through some other vague part of the bills. In 2014, the courts ruled on a case between Verizon and the FCC, stating they could not grant the privileges of common carriers while not designating them common carriers, ending that. So in 2015, the FCC labeled them common carriers.
Ask HN: Is ICO for TON “from” Telegram a Scam?
For some time now an ICO attracts a lot of attention: TON "from" Telegram. But it could be a scam.

Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram tells it's a scam on Twitter https://twitter.com/durov/status/953047295309774848

One article in french tells it's indeed a scam https://journalducoin.com/altcoins/ico-telegram-scam/

Another article in english shows doubts about this ICO https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/scam-alert-theres-something-funny-telegram-ico/

Any more information on this topic? For people investing in the ICOs, TON is the next big thing.

When you're in an area where your DNS provider is limited by the state, you won't consider it wasted. But if you're not and you do consider it wasted, don't use it. But saying it doesn't seem to provide any benefit is wrong and just telling people to use a VPN for DNS resolution is also wrong (at least until the ergonomics improve).

Something called 'integration testing' that has to be done before the final build which clearly flags off any compatibility issues between components.

Every component comes with a major/minor release no., which tells about the nature of change that has gone in. For ex: Major rel is incremented for a change that usually introduces a new feature/interface. Minor release no are reserved for bug fixes/optimizations, that are more internal to the component.

The build manager can go through the list of all the delivered fixes and cherry pick the few which can go to the final build.

Possible to access a "guide" of some sort. A person that knows jitsi, what it can do, how to mod it a little, and what would need to be done to change "settings a to something else"?

I need this, but after spending months trying to work with rocket chat only to find the few tweaks I need just can't be done (easily, and with a reason (to me) budget) - I gave up.

If I could pay someone $100 to walk me through it a bit, answer a few questions, and guide me to how to mod it to what I need, I'd jump.

I think the last time I looked at jiti there was like a mailing list or something suggested for contacting people(?) - I love email, and don't use fbook.. so that's great, but I just never took that step for whatever reason.

Sadly, one of those "chat with us" boxes on the side that just took you to a faq or offered to sign you up to the mail list might be good in that situation.

Would love to have this working on our servers with a few modifications.

From TFA: "At that time Williams, on behalf of Twitter, acknowledged the confusion which likely would arise from the use of TWITTER in the marketplace, as well as instances of actual confusion which already had arisen."

It doesn't matter what "most people would agree" if the defendant themselves are on record acknowledging the problem.

I've never heard anyone confuse Apple (The computer company who sell music) with Apple (The record company founded by the beatles), yet you'd be a fool to not see the problem in the overlap when Apple were on contract saying they'd only use it in the computer industry and then started venturing into the music industry.

I agree with the article: enterprise will never play well with store/uwp nonsense. I have the same background - I work in high perf very heavy desktop .NET and I can’t see any reason UWP would work here.

But: I also see where Microsoft are coming from. There is no need to innovate in this space. Microsoft want people to run mobile, touch, store... and those of us doing heavy desktop can use third party tooling or just stay with the mature tools we already have. Microsoft will never sunset the legacy win32 stack, and enterprises of the kind the author describes will never choose a windows that doesn’t allow the standard win32 stack.

Good article. I think this is more relevant for Model based development and auto code generators. In auto-generated code there usually exist may unreachable paths and un-resolved conditions which only surface up when code is run over certain period of time or some environmental conditions are met. Visualising Level 3 as explained in article is easy in model based development but it's consequences on Level 1 and Level 2 are difficult to predict.

I disagree, lots of smart people who know it's bullshit are still involved (because it's very easy money if you know what you're doing). Any sort of tangible value is utterly irrelevant, what matters is future market opinion. Quite the same for gold, stocks, forex, or anything else, just with much greater volatility.

Most of the fresh faces that make the bubbles happen don't care about any of that stuff, they are just blinded by greed and will get burned for it. The ancap/libertarian ideologues who have been involved for years are the ones who are worth ridiculous amounts of money these days.

The fact that it's a relatively large community of fresh millionaires/billionaires (they won't tell you, but that's a huge percent of people involved in crypto for 5+ years) with an unwillingness to convert to fiat currencies (revoking citizenships to avoid taxes, even) does mean that there's a willingness to put money in marginal opportunities.

"1. Fast streaming, everywhere, on phones and browsers" and "4. Good search and discovery experience" are the essentials (with 1 including the hosting requirements). Most users are ready to put up with moderate resolution videos, the content will accumulate surprisingly quickly as long as there is some initial content to draw people in, and it'll be good news for the platform when spam and copyright issues become actual problems. But feature 1 is big enough in cost and difficulty, to be a big barrier to entry by itself.
> The whole "start up a little webserver in the same language" trend makes everything much* easier to develop.

I actually agree, but that's not the approach that's pushed. In python the "tiny http server" is explicitly advertised as insecure and unsuited to production use. In Java, embedding Jetty involves dozens of arcane lines and manually translating suggested XML files into code - not something a beginner can do. What other language than PHP can I dump a single file on a shared host and have it be running?

(Ironically Java is actually a legitimate answer here, if the shared host ran an application server like Tomcat and accepted .war uploads. But I don't think I've ever seen a shared host that offered that?)
I upvoted because Twitch is a really interesting case. The Levenshtein distance between the trademarks is closer, and Twitch is pretty much entirely focused on video, which makes it encroaching on TWiT's domain of business.
We understand how important it is for Luna to be able to use Python (and JS) libraries and we will try to get to work on that asap. Please note, however, that the core Luna team is fairly small, so we have limited capacity (although I would like to make it my personal goal to create the Python ffi). That said, any community effort in this area is more than welcome, you can check the code on our github org: https://github.com/luna

Game-theory insights into asymmetric multi-agent games
The Paradigm Shift – Article 1 – The Backtick
Typescript as a language may be more lightweight (i.e fewer features) than C# but the development process feels extremely heavyweight and convoluted in comparison.

Typescript has no standard library. So you have to resort to using JavaScript libraries and combine those with type descriptions written by yet another group of people for some version or other of the original library.

So essentially Typescript is importing JavaScript's already onerous dependency situation putting another set of dependencies on top of it without any formal correctness guarantees or automated compatiblity checks.

The language itself is under constant threat of breaking changes introduced by new JavaScript versions.

The whole setup feels exremely fragile to me and it is anything but lightweight. But I accept that many people are successfully navigating this mess for now, people who (unlike myself) have created actual production software in Typescript.

We'll see how it works out longer term.

It reminds me of the time my bank canceled my credit card because I always back before any interest has accrued, I wasn't degenerate enough for them to make margins. Totally short sighted because, there is nothing to say I wouldn't need emergency cash tomorrow.

Likewise with youtube there is nothing to prevent todays small fry producing super engaging content tomorrow. After all, how does one get to the big time without going through mediocrity first?

Other video hosting platforms, such as the vimeo, suddenly got a lot more attractive.

is discrimination based on preference a real thing that the law can protect you against? my understanding is that you cannot discriminate against things a person has little control over (race, gender, etc.)

i imagine you'd have to prove that preference discrimination was being used specifically as a proxy for the others to have any legal footing and it's a steep hill to climb because some preferences can be more expensive to deliver than others, too.
