I pasted that initial quote ("Google has the largest QUIC deployment...") to point out that Google has a significant advantage in owning the most popular web browser and also most of the top-tier web properties in Google search, Gmail, and YouTube. Because they control the whole chain from browser to content, they can release things that make those experiences better for Chrome users (using QUIC) at the expense of non-Chrome users (who get worse TCP performance until everyone else completely adopts QUIC). Then, toss up some banner ads for non-Chrome users who visit YouTube saying, "YouTube too slow? Switch to Chrome!"

>would you say IPv6 is an enemy of the web and underlying internet?

If IPv6 made IPv4 performance worse and was pushed by one company who controls both the browser and the most popular web content, yes, I would.
This type of thinking is how we get ants.

It is trivial to set up a mail server with TLS and if you don't have fucking TLS bounce it through a protocol upgrade server. If you understood the type of secrets that are getting trivially intercepted you'd realize that a couple hard days for a couple of lazy sys admins is a tiny price to pay for the drastic increase in security.

People are literally getting killed because we're so fucking lazy. Even three letter agencies are sending mail without TLS, this is madness.
> Why still support the TLS_RSA_* ciphers, given that they, unlike TLS 1.1, have a known vulnerability?

TLS 1.1 also has known by design vulnerabilities. It only supports two cipher modes, RC4 and CBC/HMAC. The first is vulnerable to biases, the second to padding oracles + Lucky 13.

Yeah, padding oracles can be avoided by implementing crazy, complicated countermeasures. Same is true for TLS_RSA. (Though I do agree that TLS_RSA is probably more problematic.)

I even ripped apart an Echo dot a little while ago, de-soldered the NAND from the device and dumped the FireOS-based ROM to take a peek myself. It is indeed performing audio processing for the wake-up word entirely locally.
Yeah, it's an easier conversation in person(combined with the fact that there's generally very few secrets inside the industry). It's certainly an interesting space and appreciate the conversation.

I know you were probably talking about traditional consoles(xbox/ps/etc) but when you start including portables(with the switch just smashing the 1 year mark at 15M units) then the field opens up significantly. You've got at least 5-6 different GPU vendors and a whole host of companies providing SoCs. Embedded GPUs have been making huge strides and I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the top end of that space start nipping at NVidia/AMD soon. Lots of the people in that domain came from desktop(Adreno is a anagram of Radeon for instance ;)).
But these bots exist because some people actually use Twitter as a newsfeed for that sort of thing. And being partly an RSS substitute is surely part of Twitter's business model these days. Not suggesting that many of these accounts weren't still absolute garbage, but the signal/noise ratio isn't always great with obviously human-run accounts either.

The other issue is that the distinction between a bot and a human isn't clear-cut: there's plenty of shades of grey in between something which spits out badly-scraped listings all day and an actual human having noncommercial conversations with Twitter friends.
It's more classifying what's bad behaviour (using the pornbot tactic of mass follow/unfollow to attract attention even if you're a human marketer tweeting actual content, and even if you haven't written a script to do it) and what's perfectly acceptable automation like tweet schedulers that could use some work
Google makes QUIC available for others to use if desired. QUIC sits on top of UDP so any other service that uses UDP you could make a similar argument they are optimizing for their service. Which everyone should be doing. Your post sounds more like it is driven more by some issue you have with Google then QUIC.
I wonder if we as humans at some future point would evolve to understand and consume only sane and specialized content based on lessons of Facebook?
History and behavioral psychology tells us people don't learn from the past just because they simply can't recall it.

BUT perhaps what might work, and only hope, is a spectacular fall of this kind of interaction model(and the business) so that no one touches it with a 10 ft pole for some time. Like the terrible Nazi stuff of WWII.

Hopes of healthy competition in the industry and the democratization of quality content in a way that precludes brand loyalty, will probably never happen as long as Facebook lives. It will just acquire and buy its way to monopolize everything.

How would an attacker have used this vulnerability? It seems to me that they'd already have to be able to inject code into the chrome context, to be able to point it towards content they control. Maybe I misunderstand how this works.
One of the major downsides to UDP is that it lacks any form of congestion control, so it's hard to justify QUIC's behaviour due to what it's built atop :)

Some of my most trying encounters have been dealing with prolific people with bad ideas or sketchy ethics. People who think writing a pile of the wrong code will make things better.

The key thing about using sarcasm is that you should never direct it at someone you're talking to. Doing that is a great way to make someone instantly dislike you.

Sarcasm as a form of humor is too easy to do. You don't have to be clever. You just have to look down on someone/something and then caricature it. Whoever does that too much just seems unlikable.

When you're actually clever or subtle about it, people tend to enjoy the twist that makes the joke.

The odd disconnect with the pooling notes in the article is that it seems like all the other insurers seem to delight in creating mini single business pools even though the mega insurers themselves have plenty of customers to create single large pools (and win a nice administrative simplification). None of the large insurers also seem effective in price controlling via pooling drug purchases of their customers either - so it seems curious if this combination of businesses will be able to succeed. Good luck to Amazon and co, I hope they succeed at this venture.
> Judicial review was invented by Federalists specifically to subvert Jefferson really.

Judicial review is simply the concrete manifestation of two things express in the Constitution:

(1) the judicial power regarding cases and controversies arising under the Constitution, laws, etc., and

(2) The Constitution’s express limits on what laws Congress has the power to pass.

It's anti-democratic in the sense that Constitutionally-limited government is itself anti-democratic, in that the electre representatives of the people are denied the unlimited power they would have in a parliamentary supremacy model, but not in any other sense.

Throwaway to rid clients ever discovering this, but I operate glorified UI freelance in the mask of an agency and charge by a day rate of $1,050. Internally I'm factoring that on five hours a day at $175/hr. – on the surface, using a traditional work week ideology that rate looks reasonable. The question never arises on how many hours per day I'm factoring. That said, design is different than coding obviously. Being created by someone with ten years of experience doing so (me) can charge lots more than a newer freelancer. I hit in between that and what the big agencies charge.

The biggest reason I believe for there to not be a unified tool at this point is that requirements are superficially the same, but when you dig deeply almost every company has a different set of needs, even locally contradictory ones

So you have stuff like Salesforce, with huge barriers to entry... But you can basically do everything. Sure, you might still need a Salesforce expert , but that's easier than 2 or 3 developers for a hand rolled thing that doesn't really integrate with anything.

Say what you will about paper workflows, but being able to paperclip stuff together, copy, write anywhere, etc. makes it pretty flexible. Lots of the cheaper tools with "easy onboarding" on the other hand...
The cycle you mentioned is certainly a vicious one.

But you missed another: their cap on profit is percentage based. This disincentivizes the insurer from truly attempting to contain costs, because while the percentage of income they can take as profit is capped, the absolute value is not. This leads to underinvestment in attempting to contain costs except to the level that they can retain as overhead and a cycle of ever increasing premiums ensue.

It's also a reason for insurers to vertically integrate and getting their hands in the PBM business and offering telemedicine services and whatnot. Doing so allows the insurance arm to "pay out" to non-insurance subsidiaries, where they can both count that as a medical cost from the insurance arm yet still capturing profit from the non-insurance arm. In which case, it's beneficial to have inefficient contracts that give the non-insurance subsidiary a lot of leeway to run efficiently and generate solid profits.
Using plus addressing is really handy, but unfortunately spammers figured it out about 20 years ago. First, they would just strip the part after the plus, and now sometimes I see them add stuff like +amazon or +facebook. It's still a good trick, but you might get spam showing up that wouldn't otherwise.

The slightly better solution is to register a domain that is just for email, and then allow any arbitrary email address to come to your main account, and filter on that. You can even do it in Google. Register an app domain (although I guess those aren't free anymore?) and then just set it to deliver all unknown addresses to the default account (and then forward the default account to your regular gmail while you transition).

I've been doing this for years, and it's a great way to figure out who is selling your email address.

But you're right, I just clicked the Luxo lamp and the whole page became perfectly readable.

And then I dragged the Luxo lamp over to the left where my most-used extensions are, so I'll remember it next time.

There are like 3 of my friends who I like and want to hear things from, but they post about 10x per day. Facebook has decided that because of this volume ALL I WANT TO SEE IS THESE 3 FRIENDS' POSTS. It's irritating.

Snapchat Filters: How Do They Work?
I always loved a similar idea that I believe Google uses (or used at one point) for sunsetting APIs.

You start by making 1% of requests fail on the scheduled date, then gradually increase that percentage over time until 100% of requests are failing.

This gives anyone that doesn't follow your blog or news to start realizing that there's a problem and find a solution before it completely cuts off.

I personally feel a brownout of 1 hour will barely register as a blip at many places, and if it goes back to working 100% they are liable to just ignore it after it resolves itself.

OBikes are wrecks in Singapore, because, it seems, oBike does not care about having staff to actually repair or maintain the bikes. We have a slightly more respectful population, perhaps, but it does not stop bikes from rusting, missing pedals or brakes, and so on. The rapid increase in the number of bikes has, thankfully, put a stop to the previous habit of taking out a part of the bike (usually pedal or seat) to put it out of action and thus "reserve" it.

Fortunately there are now so many bike startups in Singapore that you have a wide choice to pick from, and all of them are currently free. I went to the market yesterday with my mother in law, her riding a Mobike and me an Ofo, both checked out with my account.

Mobike seems the best run although I agree with the low seat problem (which is less of an issue in Asia). However, there are 3-4 different models at any one time so I suspect the company will iterate towards different models for different markets, including in size. Some of the engineering on the newer prototypes is quite interesting, and copied a few months later by Ofo, which seems to be the other company with actually active management (after a disastrous start with non-GPS-tracked bikes which were routinely "retired" by users).

As for bad parking, it is a function of enforcement. In Singapore, the companies are fined a substantial amount per bike if the government has to come and clear them. So there is apparently a sub half hour pickup time for most if you report it parked incorrectly (e.g. in a bus lane). It sounds like Australian cities have not yet put their act together in that respect. Fine the companies $500 per bike dropped in a creek and watch the problem disappear...

The app itself is well done, but the editing experience is quite lacking...It's 2018 and people don't want to write html/css/js as if writing txt files. https://codesandbox.io can be a good inspiration to learn from. I believe its popularity is a result of using Monaco[0] and supporting Language Servers[1].

I would advise looking into editing/language support early. Auto completion (for DOM API, D3 API, etc) and error checking can be very helpful to the user.

Still, congratulations to the launch (the app looks beautiful and UX is pretty solid)! When I was reading @mbostock's medium post[2] a few months ago I knew something like this will popup.

Anyway, back to building my own thing which focuses on the editing side of playgrounds, which I think is what most online ones (Codepen / JSFiddle) lack.

I think these 3 will no longer provide health insurance for their employees, they are going to create a new more affordable framework and they will allow any other large company to participate.
