You're overestimating their market share. Akamai is bigger. Cloudfront, fastly and some others are very credible competition.
You can't value economic success solely on the size and influence of companies. In Germany (Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg especially) there are literally thousands of very successful small-middle tier engineering firms doing highly specialized work in very specific areas. It might not be Facebook or Google or even BMW in terms of size and influence, but they are the very core of the economic success in these states.
I definitely have single point of failure concerns both with Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt, but as another user points out, right now 8.8.8.8 is the much more common single point of failure for DNS, and it's run by an ad/tracking company.

It's definitely possible Cloudflare may go the way of Google at some point in the future, but right now, I'd rather have the former than the latter involved in my Interneting. And in this case, it's a new/additional option, a second point.
Only to confirm and to raise some doubts in the skeptics, the good thing about Roman concrete is that is 2 thousands (or more) years old and still going strong and Damascus steel as well is 1 thousand (or more) years old and still fine.

What will become of modern concrete (if reinforced, I can tell you for sure it is going to rot) and what will happen with modern steel we will see in a few hundred years.

For the record, most of the structures built in the "gold age of steel", the second part of the 19th century, like railways bridges that were once considered to be "immortal" have been largely been demolished (and replaced with new structures) because the steel became too brittle and started cracking and the same, amplified or infuced by fatigue, affects a large number of modern steel bridges as well [1].

I think, I'll try this. It sounds like a good idea, but I wonder if the benefit outweights the cost of having to prefix all paths. It occurs to me that I can make a keybound function that inserts $CWD, so it ends up expanded in the history.
Right. It makes sense because more and more over time, the user's "apps" are in the browser. The OS is arguably more the browser and less the actual OS.

My wife, for example, plays games on Facebook, uses Gmail, and surfs a few websites she likes. That's why Chromebooks are so popular.

Windows is competing perhaps more with the web (and soon, WASM) than say MacOS.

It's poorly engineered enough to keep you from getting to the part where they talk about Plex as a Helvetica alternative. :)

The Arial connection is that Arial has the same origin as a Helvetica alternative. It even shares similar differences to Helvetica, such as the construction of "C".
How would one setup an automatic DNS-over-HTTPS on your home PC?
Well, they do seem to plan to offer IPv6 DNS. And you'll probably want to be using that anyway, although they don't seem to recommend using that, as they mention it only briefly.
Those resolvers are technically for Level3 customers only - they'll return one of those ad-filled "search" portals where an NXDOMAIN would be proper, see:

Logistics are a great place for this technology, but first you must purge your mind of Cryptotokens and their economics. They aren't applicable for a logistics use case.

To understand this, first you have to understand why we structure mining. In the case of Bitcoin or Ethereum, you need a method that allows any arbitrary computational device to verify and add to a given blockchain. In lieu of trusting that device, the blockchain makes it do a massive amount of busywork, called mining, to prove it isn't bullshitting the network. Different implementations have different busywork, but it's designed to make it hard to change the network by arbitrary devices. This is why we can allow any untrusted device on the network.

In the case of logistics, we are already operating under some amount of trust. This is through a mechanism of certification of goods, suppliers, verifying the goods are what they say they are, and the verification of those approvals and certifications. Even in a trusted environment, managing that coordination of certifying and verifying is slow, bureaucratic, and grows with the size of the logistic network. Additionally, many supply chains generally certify new entrants before allowing them to contribute. This creates a barrier to entry when establishing trust in the same way busywork creates a barrier for devices. Then there are whole units of auditors that go through and recheck all those certifications to make sure the whole chain is authentic with regards to the goods moving through it.

Blockchain technology is a mechanism of creating certifications (signing a transaction) and verifying those certifications (miners/verifiers on a chain) that can operate in a decentralized but coordinated way. It allows for the whole system to better coordinate information and certification that used to be done manually.

Did you notice I never mentioned tokens?
Little bit sensationalist.

Microsoft seeing profitability and growth from its cloud business, and investing resources accordingly, doesn't mean its "putting Windows on the back burner".

In its cloud and enterprise offerings MS has been adding support Linux and open source in general. That mentality shift away from "MS products are for Windows OS" is more what's going on than "MS doesn't care about Windows anymore"
> If a program can write to ~/.local/bin, it can write to ~/.profile and change your path anyway

You're absolutely right, but in the case that a program can write to ~/.local/bin but no where else, it is a concern. What I'm really talking about is when a package manager is using that directory and potentially untrustworthy packages can put whatever they want in ~/.local/bin but not ~

> Are Facebook employees so convinced of the nobility of the company, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary

At best, we only have evidence that the subset of employees who chose to comment on that internal thread and whose comment was chosen by the journalist to be included in the article feel this way.

One of the things that media and aggregation have really accelerated is the cognitive fallacy where we assume the most interesting data points are the most frequent when in reality the inverse is almost always true — common is boring. If you were to go by the news, men bite dogs way more often than dogs bite men. But that's only because "man bites dog" is worth reporting and "dog bites man" is not.
I've worked with quite a few console dev kits with serious restrictions, including needing to be in windowless rooms with locking doors. Usually that level of security was at the pre official public announcement stage though. It's a little unusual to have that level of security after the company has done a big PR push showing off pictures of the 'secret' hardware.

My school didn't allow us to use the showers after PE. First period PE meant you could either minimize your participation or be sweaty all day. The showers were only available for the sports teams after school.

Agreed completely. There's still a large group of people for which 2000/XP was when the GUI was already nearly perfect, and everything after that was downhill. As an OS I think Windows doesn't need any "new features" in the way of radical GUI changes anymore, just continued bug fixes.

Ditto for a lot of other software; enough with the churn, stability is more important.
Here's how engineers thinking about welding joints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZiEoN8tYvI

You'll note in those calculations that he assumes that the weld is basically the same as the base metal. As long as the weld is performed properly, the assumptions should hold to within a factor of safety.

For the relatively thin material used in cars and motorcycles, it doesn't take very long for the metal to melt all the way through in a single spot, so very strong welds can be created quickly. Further, between the skill of the fabricators and editing for TV, it is hard for someone without familiarity with welding to know what all is going into a joint just by watching the footage after.

We never comment on future plans simply because they're subject to change. We can't promise something now and expect the software world to be the same in 1 year or 2 years.

All I think is reasonable to say in this case is that 1Password 7 for Mac (and Windows) both have standalone licenses available, as we have traditionally sold (per user, per platform, for that particular version, in this case 7.x) and those standalone licenses support syncing to standalone vaults (Dropbox, iCloud, Folder, and WLAN for Mac. Dropbox for Windows).

Note that version 7 is likely only going to support our OPVault format, NOT AgileKeychain. Import from AgileKeychain, but not sync to AgileKeychain.

Hope that helps, but I realize you might be asking what about version 8, or 9, or future version x. We simply can't answer that question because it's too far in the future. It's like asking me to promise that I'm going to buy a house in 1-2 years when I have no idea what the future holds.

Thanks for converting those users though! You've helped us continue to do what we love to do. We wouldn't be here without users like yourself helping make 1Password as great as it can be.

My ISP (Spectrum / Time Warner) will not return a proper NXDOMAIN, and will instead send you to an ad-filled "search" page. They're also slower than Google DNS somehow, and generally not much more than an opportunity for my ISP to get more information and ad revenue from me.

At least I'm not paying Google to do the same, and I can trust that they'll send the proper results.
I wonder if, given that we now have a number of reasonably decent DNS services, if we can make software better to obscure/divide up our DNS use.

Take your 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9, maybe your ISP DNS, etc., check against them randomly to try and avoid giving any one of them all of your DNS request traffic, maybe look up the same address on two of them to confirm that you're getting the same destination from both?
Also, with autonomous vehicles it is possible to develop a standardized collision-avoidance protocol involving emitting beacons for e.g. bicycles. Your insurance company would want you to have that integrated in the bike.
Because that's the URL the cache is for: https://1.1.1.1/
I can't quite figure out what the major differentiating factor is between that case and this one where someone intentionally tried to vote twice and just got 2 years of probation: https://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/status/979519186820128768

I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.
Having a different opinion isn't trolling. But that's not what you're doing here, and most members of this board are intelligent enough to see through your petty screeds about illegal immigrants.
>supports encrypted DNS as well as DNS over HTTPS

Are encrypted DNS requests used by default? Does 1.1.1.1 somehow advertise to your client (whether it's a browser, the OS or a router) that encryption is possible? Do I have to configure my endpoint, which may expect to be able to send normal plaintext DNS requests, for it?

I guess DNS over HTTPS will surely not be supported by normal routers, but I don't know what other protocol Cloudflare refers to as "encrypted DNS", so maybe that will work.
I don't think she has realized that she cannot exit the system. If your entire FIRE plan depends on "save enough, withdraw 3-4% every year" because those are "historical market returns", she is essentially depending on capitalist, consumerist system to keep providing her those returns on her savings during the retirement. Even worse, she is going to be one of those "evil capitalists who don't work a regular job and survive off of the labor of others because they are the owners of capital" (TM).
I never understand this “If you’re so worried, take action” argument. We all have concerns about thousands of things. I’m concerned about kids’ education in the whole world, I’m concerned about animals getting killed for fun, I’m concerned about Comcast being my only realistic ISP, I’m concerned about thousands more such things. I should be able to have and show concern even if I can’t actively do much about them due to my focus on other, even greater concerns (even if they’re selfish concerns like taking care of my family).
Which of these metrics would be most important in evaluating a goalie?

I know nothing about hockey, but my intuition would be that you can throw W/L out the window - if you have an amazing offensive team you could let in 5 goals a game and still win. GAA is a reflection of both the team's defensive ability and the goalie's performance. It seems like SV% is the "purest" metric to compare apples to apples here. Unless I'm only looking at first-order effects here and the team's entire strategy changes based on who is in goal...
But why should they? Doing that brings very little upside for MailChimp and a lot of potential downside if Google decides to blacklist MailChimp's entire IP range.

And then they have to devote engineering / moderation resource to routing emails to the correct IP shard.

> I'm curious how much better you could do by skipping the OS entirely and making a userspace disk API, similar to DPDK.

The biggest concern I'd have is the somewhat questionable black-box abstraction layer that is the disk controllers. I personally think they do way too much stuff behind the curtain that would be better put in the open. Something like UBIFS would be better suited for modern world.

I’m a Bay Area high school student and schools in this area have tried adopting these late start times. However, they were faced with intense community resistance, with parents pushing against that idea as it interferes with extracurriculars and childcare.

I recently watched a PBS Frontline documentary back from 2002 that discussed this issue, and even then parents were extremely resistant to change.

On the contrary, I think perhaps the best thing for the preservation of the history of windows gaming is for windows to stop changing. A frozen or deprecated win32 API will give WINE (which is already quite good) breathing room to catch up and fill in the gaps, without having to continuously cope with the shifting sand of the latest experiments with windows. We'll be able to run old windows games forever, rather than just as long as Microsoft deigns to allow it. DOS games are fairly well preserved at this point for similar reasons.

Of course, then we'll have to deal with whatever the next platform is, but that's just the reality of the industry.
At the root of it, they define "core" as Math and English with the goal to centralize those two in the middle of the day as much as possible.

Physical Education, Art, Spanish, Music, History, Science, etc are scheduled around those accordingly.

The main reasoning is simply that math and English are the two subjects that build upon each other the most from grade level to grade level and because of that, they are considered the "core".
The comparison to a keeper in football is close, but in hockey it's a far more important and specialized role. In the NHL, a typical # of shots on goal is 30-35 [1]. Seems like 3-7 is a typical number of saves a football keeper would have to make [2].

Also, the equipment a hockey goalie uses is specialized, whereas I think the only extra equipment a keeper has is a different coloured jersey and gloves.

I read his memo titled "The Ugly." There was nothing in there that was critical of "the company."

Judging from the memo and other employees characterizations of him "Boz" just sounds like a total asshole.

The idea their lobbying efforts have had any effect on punishment guidelines is laughable.

1. The Public in General Votes for "Tough on Crime" politicians, the Public wants "criminal" to pay, they are just to ignorant to understand who "criminals" are as they picture the person is a ski mask robbing and raping them, not some person filling out a government form incorrectly

2. The Police Unions, Guard unions, and various other Non-Profit Groups lobby far far far more effectively than any of the For-profit Government Contractors for very very harsh punishments, and for the creation of new laws and regulations to make even more criminals every year.

Retribution is inherent to punishment and by extension justice. It simply makes no sense to claim otherwise. Mercy makes no sense unless we accept that. A judge cannot show leniency or mercy unless it is, first, acknowledged that the criminal deserves something commensurate with the crime, and second, there is a real, deserved possibility (at least in principle, even if never realized) of receiving one's just deserts. Premeditated murder deserves the death penalty as a matter of principle, though we can decide legally never to manifest that as punishment.

Punishment has three purposes: retribution, rehabilitation, and deterrence. We seem to be suffering from a contemporary bias against retribution [0]. However, these three purposes are intimately connected. When a punishment fits the crime, we communicate the severity of the crime to the criminal. In that way, we help facilitate rehabilitation by making it clear how grave his offense has been. Deterrence is facilitated by the same token. Obviously, these are not absolute measures. For example, a criminal may be unrepentant, but then rehabilitation is not possible. In any case, adequate remorse does not remove the possibility of retribution (though a sincerely remorseful criminal would accept that he deserves commensurate punishment), but it does allow for mercy.

[0] A common confusion here is that retribution entails hatred of the punished. It does not.
I think that "sublimated" was meant. Makes more sense in context.
