We're not guilty, we're not confused, we know what we're doing, and have decided we're OK with doing it.
I wrote a JS based tweet curator to do this on a manual rather than automated basis. Mostly to keep the responsibility for dumb accidental deletion "on me". https://github.com/Pomax/Twitter-Personal-Feed-Curator
> By the way, rm does work like that. The file will just be marked as deleted (by removing its entry from the filesystem index), but will remain on your disk for some time afterwards, from some minutes to months. If you want to ensure deletion, you should be using shred.

This is true, but it's worth noting that not overwriting your own data on a machine you physically own as an optimization is very different behavior from not overwriting someone else's data on your server when they request that you delete it.
So, one thing I'd love to see clarified: APNIC was interested in studying the junk traffic to 1.1.1.1. Cloudflare's DNS will not log or track. So what is logged and tracked for APNIC's research purposes? Everything but DNS? Everything but DNS and HTTPS requests directly to 1.1.1.1 (presumably people looking for details on Cloudflare DNS?).

What's being studied?

Fun fact: CCNA classes regularly use 1.1.1.1 as a router-id. Really good reason now not to configure it via a loopback address.

Maybe, if you buy a product from a company which they are capable of later updating (read: breaking), they should receive your money in installments as long as the product still works, and if they upload a change that breaks it, you're in your rights to stop paying.
FIGHT of Monkey and Hen
The central question to answer is whether your boss is held responsible for failure to meet the SLA or whether you alone are.

Assuming your boss is held responsible, I would design the system to treat the database like an unreliable API. Wrap up all operations in a DAL and interact with a local database. Do regular transactional sync operations in the background. In case of data conflict, determine who wins and why in each case.

Don't spend too much time on the design. Just enough to get the point across.

Bring the design to your boss and say this is what I'm thinking given that we have an SLA but this critical dependency does not and has an observed uptime of 90%. And then let your boss decide what to do.

If you are the only one who will be held responsible and your boss doesn't support your design or go to bat for you, you work in a bad environment and should find a new job.
If you think this will upset future historians, just wait until you find out that this is something that journalists like to do with their Twitter accounts too, and I would be entirely unsurprised if there's an overlap between the journalists who do this and the ones that start dubious but widely believed viral claims using their Twitter accounts.

Increasingly, you can simply contract out the physical end of experimentation out to dedicated commercial labs (at least in the biological sciences.) It takes a bit of money (well, a lot, even) but it’s much friendlier to small-scale enterprises, among the other advantages.
Emails suggest reviews from the Wirecutter are “pay to play” (2014)
There’s plenty of “americanifobia” on the other end. But I think in both countries the extent of the problem is wildly exaggerated by observers. The vast majority of normal people don’t really fear or hate the entire other people. It may be trendy or “socially acceptable” for them to say they do, but deep down they understand it’s all propaganda and bullshit.

More generally, the quantity of fucks anybody gives about things that do not affect them directly tends to be exaggerated.
Probably. There are only 2^64 possible hash values (Mathematica's Hash function, with no method specified, produces a 32- or 64-bit output depending on platform), and there are many more strings than that which could reasonably be called a "paragraph". It's pretty reasonable to hope that there's a self-describing paragraph out there somewhere.
"I like to purge my real life too. De-cluttering is fun. My zen would be to have nothing left."

There is a huge difference in not valueing material property as high and not having anything left. I would figure out that difference before reaching the goal.
(as long as it's not customer critical - at least setting something like this up would be a fun weekend project :) )
It looks that the default Hash implementation depends on whether the system is 32-bit or 64-bit [1]. It's also not clearly documented what the default implementation of Hash really is.

On a 32-bit system, yes, someone could probably do it.

This is the right question to ask - not what NSF or NIH can do. I'm afraid I don't have a very satisfying answer, I'm still trying to figure it out myself.
The first thing I tell my postdocs is that they can't put their life on hold and wait for adulthood to start after they finish this training (or more training). We need to be discussing career paths now, not 18 months from now. The second thing I tell them is that in my field (medicine) it's likely they can make a greater contribution on the industry side than in academia, because as important as fundamental (basic) research can be, industry is where most new treatments come from. For some I encourage entrepreneurship - harder in bio than CS but do-able for the right person. And some /can/ stay in academia as staff scientists - not responsible for running their own labs or generating their own funding, but acting mostly autonomously.

someone said "software is made of decisions". IMO this is the problem. All those listed axises, and another dozen i could imagine (esp. moving away from machine and closer to reality), they all require decisions to be taken.
Some of these decisions are predefined - from the language, OS, hardware, employment, audience, customer, tie-color, whatever. Other are obvious. But a lot are not even understandable unless one has been-there, done-that.

Most people do not want to make/take many decisions, especially for things they dont care (in that moment), so they go for something that has those predefined. As +/- , usualy that something comes with lots of other extra decisions predefined too.. and the pain starts. Sooner of later u want full control of some aspect, and in order to get yoursefl free on that aspect, ... u have to either do horrible hacks, or re-make everything yourself. And there is the other extreme. Next time, u'll just start there. With No gravity defined - whatever that brings (like very long schedule. Or very loose language).

Usualy people take magnitude(s) fewer decisions-per-minute than what one needs in programming. Same for alternativity. Hence the difficulty of programming..

And yes, the all-or-nothing approach that is all-over software, has to be anathema-ed. For 30+ years, i have not seen anything good in it. i want to be able to choose-and-mix (which is, decide) by myself. And so do my new pupils.. And all the intermediate levels. Just the set of aspects, and details thereof, is very different for me and for them. Which calls for even greater graduality-flexibility-alternativity..

Myself, i have ended doing everything in python, for it stops/chains me the least, without getting too unstructured. Usualy making little "languages" for anything that i might, all on top of each other, "gradualy" changing the semantics; away from the language predefined, into the target domain. And, generating all else that cannot go this way.

have fun
The best alternatives were super large monitors (way over the price of a TV, and with no decent sound built in), or corporate display panels (for advertising, signage, etc) whose prices are also way above a TV and include no sound system at all.

I wonder how big the market is for "dumb" TVs priced lower than smart ones --- given that the development costs, if any, for one would be much lower since you're basically just asking an OEM to combine existing parts (panels and electrics), perhaps it could be a startup opportunity to sell "the TV you watch" --- essentially big monitors with speakers and tuners and nothing else. Some things they could advertise:

- absolutely no data collection
- zero boot-up time
- near-instant control response
- no software requiring constant upgrades or maintenance
> we're not trying to minimise how hard it is to start a business like this. But the hard part of starting (eg) Meter Feeder should be selling the service to local governments, not wrangling the ~5 programming languages and 3-4 frameworks you need for the modern Web.

I would recommend leaving 5 per month behind of neutral/boring tweets. If Twitter says account was created in March 2008 and your tweets start in 2016, somebody who's reviewing your feed might wonder what you're trying to hide.
Because the key is smaller, it is easier to make sure you deleted every copy of that key than that you deleted every copy of the data. The data also might be part of a larger backup that you would have to take apart and reassemble in order to delete the data, or might be in a place where doing that is costly (e.g. on Amazon Glacier)

µTP works OK. The trick is to precisely measure latency (these UDP packets have timestamps in them with 1µs resolution), send enough data to achieve good bandwidth, but just enough to not fill these FIFO queues in both endpoints, and in various routers between them.

Inb4 "your TV failed to turn on because of a timeout while trying to access manufacturer.com for checksum verification."
This article begins by observing that we can not learn the motivations of a fictional character because the character died and her motivations were not written in. It then imagines a fan-fiction continuation for the character then concludes that we cannot learn anything more.

This keeps on going, apparently trying to ascribe self to the characters in the author's imagination. They seem to be terrified of the idea that the self is alone within the body and in response invent an elaborate fiction for why 'self' doesn't exist. - A common fear, but I suppose they are brave for exposing it even in part.
Probably all of the above. Plus, for a lot of people, radio is mostly background noise that, in the case of news and talk radio, is always current. And there's always NPR to mostly avoid advertising.

Many people don't want to have to deliberately choose content a lot of the time. I've heard people argue that they don't want to always have to use Netflix because they can't just flip on a channel and/or channel surf.

The EU did consider reciprocally onerous standards. The European Commission decided against revoking visa-free travel privileges to Americans in March 2017.

European Parliament resolution: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=TA&langua...

European Commission press release: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-1148_en.htm

Social media reporting only applies to visa applications. Most EU states have visa-free travel privileges to the US, so this is not applicable to them. However, the US would require social media disclosure for Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania nationals under this proposal. The US does not need social media information from most EU citizens. We get this from their interior ministries, who do a much better job. (Nationals' own domestic spy agencies are the likely source of these "arbitrary" reasons for detention and denial of admittance.)
Three novice questions, please:

1) A VPN gives you privacy but this prevents your ISP from even knowing you're using a VPN, correct?

2) This is a change you make to your wifi router, correct?

3) What is you're not on wifi, or you're using public wifi, is it possible to still benefit from this?

Thanks in advance. I'll wait for my answers off the air :)

Well, he WAS a child prodigy who published his first major paper at 18 and got his PhD when he was 20, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he actually did independently come up with the idea of hashing at age 13.

In general I think people should just stop being triggered by Wolfram's comments.

Yes, he does go out of his way to emphasize what he feels are his personal contributions.

Yes, in some cases some of his claims do appear to be a bit exaggerated (e.g. some of his cellular automata stuff)

But at the end of the day, he is still a pretty smart guy who actually writes about math/science topics fairly well, and I think that is far more important than raging every single time he gives himself credit for something or emphasizes his own work on a topic.
I found this article quite annoying. The author seems to be evaluating mind on whether or not it is rational, and taking reason as motivator for depth in the sense that there should always be reasons for our actions and beliefs.

Of course the mind is irrational. And of course our sense of self is an illusion. That does not imply lack of depth. Depth in the mind is precisely NOT based on reason. It is all dynamic; chaotic in the mathematical sense. There is no "theory of mind" and there is no philosophy that could explain the self or the mind because it is in a way an abyss, full of elements of time, emotion, sensory input, and randomly arising thoughts that may or may not originate from the "self".

That doesn't mean we should dispose of philosophy altogether. Philosophy and psychology are moved by and created in the energy of the era. It is important to continuously reevaluate what we think the mind is because it is representative of how we see the world. And here we have a theory of mind in our author's little article too.

I see nothing in this article other than an exemplary case of being able to explain something in any way you wish.

Where are you testing from? I'm going to guess: a datacenter. Residential customers won't see anything this fast. I'm in a small town in Kansas, connected by 1 Gbit ATT fiber. I'm getting ~26ms to 1.1.1.1 and ~19ms to my private DNS resolver that I host in a datacenter in Dallas. Google DNS comes in around 19ms.

I suspect that Cloudflare and Google DNS both have POPs in Dallas, which accounts for the similar numbers to my private resolver. My point is, low latencies to datacenter-located resolver clients is great but the advantage is reduced when consumer internet users have to go across their ISP's long private fiber hauls to get to a POP. Once you're at the exchange point, it doesn't really matter which provider you choose. Go with the one with the least censorship, best security, and most privacy. For me, that's the one I run myself.

Side note: I wish AT&T was better about peering outside of their major transit POPs and better about building smaller POPs in regional hubs. For me, that would be Kansas City. Tons of big ISPs and content providers peer in KC but AT&T skips them all and appears to backhaul all Kansas traffic to DFW before doing any peering.
Cloudflare addresses this in the blog post:

There are a couple of different approaches. One is DNS-over-TLS. That takes the existing DNS protocol and adds transport layer encryption. Another is DNS-over-HTTPS. It includes security but also all the modern enhancements like supporting other transport layers (e.g., QUIC) and new technologies like server HTTP/2 Server Push. Both DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS are open standards. And, at launch, we've ensured 1.1.1.1 supports both.

We think DNS-over-HTTPS is particularly promising — fast, easier to parse, and encrypted.

1) These requests are all in the clear, so your isp can read them and see which hosts you're asking for. VPNs provide better privacy (assuming you choose a private one).

2) yup

3) often. You can set it on your computer, but some public WiFi systems will block it.
I haven’t heard good or bad about Haier, but I’m guessing that the price reflects what you get for it.
