Sorry, but the only DNS resolver which can really claim to be "privacy first" and can be completely trusted is the one built with opensource code running on your own system.

So a VPS with enough storage plus Unbound and you're pretty much done in regards to "privacy first" and "trust".

Yes, but that's just trading one "surveillance capitalist" for another.
Are you familiar with Node Red? It is an IBM project that is a self hosted website you can run on a raspberry pi, or a traditional PC or server.

The tool allows you to graphically build Node.js applications, through some key abstractions. Node you drag into the canvas has inputs and or outputs which can be connected to other nodes, by simply clicking and dragging between them.

As an embedded developer, I was far more interested in determining the viability of an implementation than learning node.js. To me, Node Red is the superior evolution of node.js. But I can certainly appreciate that people who learned node.js to any degree, before finding out about Node Red, see far less utility in it than I do.

For a mirror image of this phenomenon, Arduino allows novices to circumvent the traditional learning curve required to develop embedded systems, through its key abstractions. Yet, every embedded developer I know immediately attacks the downsides of Arduino. Its not really teaching its users much. At least in its infancy, much of the underlying code was cowboy spaghetti. You would never use Arduino in a production environment.

Yet somehow, Arduino is flourishing. I'll admit that since it's open source, that is a key distinction. But Adafruit.com, and Sparkfun.com are literally printing money with Arduinos and the ecosystem they facilitated. Each is a private company, but each has revealed at least one year of revenue exceeding $30,000,000. Each also provides schematics, datasheets, and tutorials for every single product they sell, if it is within their rights to provide such information.
>"I don't think it's intended to say anything about Google specifically"

Google is mentioned 13 times in this post and their resolvers 3. That's 16 total mentions of Google in their post.
I think it's somewhere in between, the article itself states:

"to audit our code and practices annually and publish a public report confirming we're doing what we said we would."

I run an investment fund (hedge fund) and we are completing our required annual audit (not by KPMG). It is quite thorough, they manually check balances in our bank accounts directly with the bank, they verify balances directly off blockchain (it's a crypto fund) and have us prove ownership of keys by signing messages, etc. And they do do a due diligence (lots of doodoo there) that we are not doing scammy things like the equivalent of having a raspberry pi attached to the network. Now this is extremely tough of course, and they are limited in what they can accomplish there, but the thought does cross their mind. All firms are different, but from what we've seen most auditors do decent good jobs most of the time. Their reputation can only be hit so many times before their name is no longer valuable to be an auditor.
A screenshot, just in case if they change their mind:

> When out of the house, I bring along some chunks of raw red cabbage and raw broccoli.[2] They are cheap, filling, and actually pretty good

They might taste good (I like nicely cooked and seasoned veg) and be cheap... but "filling"? I absolutely do not find veg filling. More filling that something high in high-GI carbs, sure, since you're not going to have a spike and sharp drop in blood glucose levels signalling hunger, but protein and fat are a lot more filling that veg.

A good example is eggs, which are amazingly filling, cheap, quick to cook, versatile, and only around 150 calories each - and I feel full for at least 5 hours after eating just two of them.

This isn't a technical problem to be solved with shards, plus you do not want to have to answer those questions if something goes wrong (e.g. security).

What specifically did you ask for when you say "they are not willing to help out to make things more reliable"?

If the corporate DB has 90% uptime then you need to tell your boss and internal customers that the max limit of uptime is that 90% figure. If that is not acceptable then your manager needs to deal with the db team manager. I am a little confused on how an old DB only rates 90% since mainframes and iSeries boxes are way above that. How modern your application environment is or how crufty the enterprise db is irrelevant to any talks between teams.

Summary: Huawei has the best offering for 2018 and may even surpass Apple on units shipped by end of year, but they have no sales agreements with service providers in the U.S. And the U.S. government is anti-Huawei (specifically the intelligence agencies advise against buying Huawei). Therefore Huawei is going the path of least resistance and will focus on other markets, which is literally the entire rest of the world.

I wonder how other countries either don't believe, aren't worried, or don't care, about Huawei or ZTE devices spying on their citizens? OK, so what has the FBI director actually said?

"It provides the capacity to maliciously modify or steal information," Wray said. "And it provides the capacity to conduct undetected espionage."

Aha so it's a potential threat, not an active one. They're worried the devices might be a Trojan horse. This is actually an old concern about these two companies, going back to 2012. This approximates a summary of a draft report produced by House Intel committee about these two companies:

http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/08/congressional-repor...

This is the actual draft.
https://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/...

Here's the problem. These House Intel committee people are bought and paid for politicians, this substantially reduces their credibility on the face of it for the identical logical argument that Huawei is distrusted: Huawei's money connection to the Chinese government makes them beholden to political will; in the same way politicians' money connection makes them beholden to the political will of where their money comes from which is not Huawei or ZTE but rather all the other tech and telecom companies making competing products.

And then this is also the same committee whose chairman went on TV almost exactly a year ago, claiming he had discovered evidence the Trump administration was under surveillance by intel agencies, which he then had to walk back after it was revealed this narrative and evidence was in fact supplied by the White House.

These people are caught in these kinds of gymnastics and even if they were telling the truth in 2012, and have some facts backing them up, makes it a lot harder to understand their real motives and take them seriously. And this makes the country arguably less safe from real threats, but also it's anti-competitive.

I'm sympathetic to your problems and I see nothing inherently wrong with deleting a post that doesn't belong there and sending a standard message related to it. But the GP is saying he is tempted to troll the subreddit in question because of feeling burned.

This was something I thought a lot about as a moderator. If I don't have time to deal with these small issues, when I am going to find time to deal with the towering inferno that is growing because of me putting out the fire with gasoline?

Sometimes, it isn't what you do per se, it's how you do it.

When I was homeless, I had a question deleted from Metafilter and not hugely long after, someone else asked the exact same question with identical wording but a different explanation for asking and it was allowed to stand. That looks to me like the reason mine got deleted was not because the question was not allowed, but because the mods were classist assholes and actively looking to shit on me. We can't have the homeless woman having any positive experiences here. It might encourage her to stick around and, heaven forbid, even help improve her life and solve her problems, a platform we are actively hostile towards.

I really was okay with my questions sometimes being deleted, but a lot of the details of how this specific incident was handled suggested to me that it was not actually a case of "This question is in violation of the guidelines." And that is often the case. Sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, etc are often reinforced with such tactics because it maintains plausible deniability.

This is intended as food for thought. I am well aware moderating is challenging and that being too nice can serve as an attractive nuisance, causing people to dump on you and expect you to kiss their boo-boo in response to their icky behavior. There are no perfect solutions. I get that. I'm not trying to attack you.
> ... get less than 1% spam,

I'm starting to see more and more reports of people having their emails automatically go to gmail spam folders, unless the emails are coming from gmail itself. I've seen both sides of this - gmail regularly bins emails I sent from a non-gmail account, and my gmail accounts regularly bin genuine emails from non-gmail accounts, but apparently never from gmail accounts.

It's almost like there's a pervasive force, trying to make people use gmail.

I, for one, don't trust gmail at all any more.

You can do this! It is a little work.

It sounds like you are able to deploy your own infra, and it sounds like you are not making any writes to the db.

These two factors make the app significantly easier, versus needing to hold writes (and deal with reads to that augmented database) until the backing db comes back online. (CRDTs are a nice way of expressing growing a database over time, but an old old corporate DB sounds like some mess in SQL.)

The main principle is that you're going to serve queries from your own system, and your system is informed by $OLD_DB. You're going to have, ultimately, a `last_updated_at` attribute on everything you know.

You're going to, ultimately, stream all of $OLD_DB into $NEW_DB. If a DB query to $OLD_DB is over HTTP, then the query bodies are a bit larger and slightly ungainly and very easy to cache; by sticking a caching proxy in front of that HTTP endpoint and telling it to keep EVERYTHING and serve stale content and looking at the headers that come back, now you have database queries that can be as stale as necessary.
I watched the documentary today and it is not about the Chinese economy.

The documentary points out an interesting contrast. Most of these companies were filing correct figures in China. But they were filing fudged figures in US. Because it was difficult to get information out of China, no one bothered to verify. It sounds ridiculous.

But then I read stories about people being encouraged to admit fake data to get more subsidies:

And I understand. The whole place is so opaque that getting actual information requires people on the ground or some whistle blower.

A very far fetched possibility would be that Macs will run iOS - no UNIX stuff exposed, everything signed and secure. An embedded SoC will run in secure space and expose Linux in a iOS terminal application so you can do all your development work - ssh, vim and whatnot there.

Kind of like WSL but instead main OS is completely locked down and instead of software emulation you get isolated hardware to run Linux.

This could be improved, because the port argument could easily be confused with the file argument.

I.e.: moustique_listen(80, ...)

_Way_ back in the day, I built a PocketPC HTML editor. It used a plain textbox control. Meanwhile, a lot of people were building apps and had expressed interest in having some kind of a rich text edit control, similar to the RichEdit control available as part of the desktop Win32 API. Microsoft's PocketWord app used a rich text control, but it wasn't actually part of the mobile Win32 API, or documented at all.

After finding a couple hints on what WndProc messages the control would respond to, I spent a few weeks reverse-engineering it, and wrote up my findings here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/microsoft.public.dotnet.fram... .

I never did wind up building anything useful with that information, but it was a pretty fun exercise.

> "They could have designed for privacy and real-time deletion of data"

Actually, they could not. If data is geo-replicated across multiple clusters, spread all over the place, divided into hot and cold storage layers - it's crystal clear you can't perform "real time deletion of data". Instantaneous deletion of all data, leaving no trace behind, can not happen under such complex constraints.
