Makes sense. Thx.

So does this law specify which previous laws it (essentially) updates?

Would it be possible to have a law written such that certain sections would be subject to updating? Seems to me, the framework of the law is the same. What's changed is some of the specifics.
Yes. Everyone needs privacy, so everyone self censors. To what degree depends on your tolerance for risk.
It's pretty sad that even a "premium brand" like Sony does this.

Last year, Sony's privacy policy for their Digital Paper app (without which the Digital Paper device is useless) and Headphones Connect (not required for the headphones to function) claimed the content of the device the app was installed on as fair game for telemetry without opt out. That's not OK. The Headphones Connect privacy language seems to have been revised in January, but I'm still not installing the app.

Digital Paper is marketed to legal and medical professionals!

"DNS cannot be parallelized with HTTP"

I meant that DNS requests are parallelized within the browser. Once it loads the initial resource (html), there might be 10 more dependencies it needs at various different URLs under different domain names. It's usually loading all these dependencies that make up the vast majority of the load time on a complex web page.

Those subsequent DNS requests can of course be made in parallel, so if your DNS latency is 20ms then you're adding ~20ms, not 10 x 20ms.

Even then, DNS is probably making up a small fraction of the overall load time. If a complex page is taking, say, 3000ms to load and render, then adding 20-40ms of DNS time is not going to make a perceptible difference.
I use an iOS app called Xpire and do this somewhat manually (sort by oldest) while in the toilet etc. I only do so manually because I enjoy reading my old tweets one last time before deleting. Despite being on the service for 8+ years I only have about 6 months of old tweets available.

Most people who are smart learn that emphasizing that you are smarter than others leads people to hate you and it generally makes one's life more difficult. How did Wolfram not realize this?

Actually, I am sure he did, he's too smart to not have realized this, but I think he has one of those incredibly fragile egos where he needs to validate himself all the time to random people, even if doing has negative impacts on him.

Zuckerberg doesn't do this, Musk doesn't do, Gates doesn't do this, the Google guys do not do this. I could go on and on. So many smart successful people do not have to do this all the time, but Wolfram does. It is so self-inflicted.
I'm not trying to make an argument.
Brings me back.
Right, as I said, it's hard for me to see how one could be used as precedent for the other given how different the situations are. And if you could use it, you could just as easily do the same against Google DNS.

I'm not a lawyer, though.
Those who cheat and don't get caught are very good at hiding it. When all it takes to toggle is a hotkey like NUMPAD1 to activate aimlock/walls and NUMPAD0 to turn all cheats off, it makes it almost impossible to identify a cheat.

That 'cast' functionality has improved and enhanced my life more than I expected. It saves significant time, hassle and stress to be able to connect to either of the two main screens in my house from my laptop when I want to show someone what's on my screen (remote desktop in reverse is how I think of it). No redundant searching, or going to the trouble of sending someone a link. Just cast and it's there.

However, it works best for images and text-- video or graphics tend to have more issues, and there is definitely a lot of lag, as with remote desktop.

I would still take someone who can have a bad morning and decide to censor one site (and then write about how concerning that power is), over entities that regularly view it as their "responsibility" to shut down sites and remove content they find objectionable.

I think it's great if people are running their own DNS. :) But I'm certainly not mad that Cloudflare's offering yet another public alternative. As I said, more choices is better.
Not if that means the end of I/O Kit as a relatively stable driver interface.
The Windows 10 Netflix "app" is utterly abysmal

Anomaly detection is performed at two levels:

1. A log key anomaly detection LSTM model (a type of recurrent neural network) predicts the next log message type (log key). If it is wrong for any log entry, the operator is alerted that there is an anomaly in the execution flow.

2. If there is no anomaly in the execution flow, the parameter value and performance anomaly detection model is invoked. If the predicted parameter vector for that particular log key is very different from the actual parameter vector, the operator is alerted. The second model performs regression, in high-dimension space of the parameter feature vector. Therefore, the mean-squared error (MSE) is used as the loss function when training this model and when deciding to alert the operator.

As sensors improve, new theory may be needed to explain observations.

But will it report your DNS lookups to the authorities if Cloudflare's CEO wakes up one morning and decides he doesn't like you?

Sorry, but I don't trust Cloudflare with anything anymore.

My smart TV does not have my wifi password. Only my microphone-free last generation media player gets that privilege.
It’s frustrating that you still can’t see how you’re being rude and wrong, but at this point I’ll just take to heart the old advice of there always being someone wrong on the Internet.

> “why did you bother posting" is a remarkably un-civil thing to say. They bothered posting because they were interested.

Why are you quoting words that I (verifiably) didn’t say? I think you ought to realize that if you have to put words in someone’s mouth to argue against them, you are certainly being both (1) uncivil and (2) wrong.

If I had said what you said, that would have been rude.

Again, please try to be more civil in the future, and please try to read HN’s guidelines on the matter. I’ll leave it at that.

For me, it's not so much get out of the way, as it is to look up and observe it directly. On its penultimate orbit it should be observable all along its orbit and when it does de-orbit there is probably a 2500 mile wide swatch where you will get to see some portion of its disintegration. These were pictures of Mir : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1238009.stm for example.
My tendency would be to ask for some sort of proof, though I realize asking for proof of nonexistence of evidence is near impossible. I'm inclined at present to place more trust in Cloudflare's word at this point, but I try to keep an open mind. It's always good to know both sides' stories.
The internet says there are about 500 million tweets per day. If we assume 500 bytes for storing each, this would be 250 Gigabytes per day.
I already paid for my TV and it wasnt cheap. It doesnt NEED to spy on me to make extra buck, but sure it can so it DOES.

I think looking at this from specific technology predictions is a bit myopic. Gait analysis is/was simply a technology for identifying and tracking individuals. The fact that facial recognition won out[0] for this task is irrelevant.

This is addressed with commitments and third party audits assuring 24h retention for IP logs. There are other conversations in this thread surrounding the viability of those audits, but that's somewhat of a tangential debate.

This doesn't answer whether or not cloudflare will be able to protect against someone intercepting their traffic and recording dns lookups independently, but that's a problem for any dns provider.
The world is what it is. I just live in it. We, realistically, cannot insist on a new Perl on every system we support (we're talking about a million or two installations). We build tools that are meant to be very easy to install, require minimal CPAN dependencies, etc.

We target 5.10.1. When CentOS 6 is EOL, we will target 5.16, and so on. I don't like it, but I can't make Red Hat ship newer Perl versions. Software Collections has Perl 5.20, which is great for some folks, but it's not a good option for our projects, either.

It's worth noting that Python has the same problem on RHEL/CentOS. Maybe even more pronounced, because some system tools rely on Python, and it can even break them if you change your personal Python to something else (I use pyenv, and I have to remember to change my Python back to the system one when running Gnome Tweak Tool, and the like).
It's a sacrifice in the same sense that running the DMV or building a bridge is a sacrifice. But, most countries have no trouble organizing that kind of sacrifice. We have had public works, bureaucracy and infrastructure spending for thousands of years. In most cases it means taking a small amount from many people.

But, willfully reducing economic growth worldwide? To say to an individual "You, personally, could improve your material circumstances with this land, but we won't let you"? That's a sacrifice, and a game theory problem.

Even if both goals are equally worthy, the latter type of situation will be far harder to co-ordinate than the former.

> Solution: don't ever purchase a smart TV.

Not much of a solution since it will never happen. The best TV's are "smart", and people like nice things, myself included. You're much better of simply never connecting them to the internet. They get the same message and you don't limit yourself to a small set of poor options.
Wonder if this will pave the way for other protocols over HTTPS.
^ I should have noted that welding shades and glassblowing glasses also filter visible light heavily, of course (>90%). But what distinguishes them from sunglasses is the IR filtration. Glassblowing lenses also filter sodium flare, a glaring orange (visible) light emitted by some glass in a flame.

IR drops off adequately at spectating distances, and when I am at a demo, watching other people work, I don’t wear my glasses. Not sure about at a nuclear blast though.
Alternatively, I got a completely dumb panel and an audio receiver for my speakers which meets most of those requirements. The receiver only passes through video, and handles the audio itself. It's more or less the same in the end, but then the TV only needs one input.
The comments on the article are a fucking cancer. THere are so many people out there who have nothing better to do with their time than to actively call for making life worse for people worse off than themselves.
At the risk of making a middlebrow dismissal, it seems like the author is dancing around the Buddhist doctrine of anattā / anātman (oversimplified: "self" doesn't actually exist) [1] without actually confronting it. I guess that's fair inasmuch as concepts like the existence of a soul are nominally not part of the field of psychology (though a bunch of clinical psychology constructs don't really make sense without some kind of soul-like entity, so the issue is there implicitly). But without following through on the implications, I'm not sure what makes this a "revolution".

His description of GOFAI also doesn't ring true to me, but maybe that's a matter of interpretation.

Keep in mind that ping time isn't the only factor in DNS lookup speed. For me (sonic.net in Palo Alto):

ping 1.1.1.1: ~22ms

ping 8.8.8.8: ~19ms

dig @1.1.1.1: ~45ms

dig @8.8.8.8: ~70ms

Disclaimer: Eyeballed averages over a few samples. A more rigorous test of DNS lookup times would be cool to see.

Disclosure: I work for Cloudflare, but not on DNS.

When nature says 'Enough': the river that appeared overnight in Argentina
I'd try the sharding route. Check out Vitess (https://vitess.io), hopefully it works in your case, otherwise you can seek for similar alternatives. It's a proxy that 1) makes sharding transparent, and 2) protects the db from bad queries. If you set this up for your app, perhaps later you can convince other apps to switch to it, improving the quality of the db overall.

A few other comments would be:

- do you have a read replica where you can do read-only queries? If not, that's also a good way to alleviate the burden on the primary db.

- would cache make sense? do you read often the same data and do joins every time? if so, I'd also consider a caching layer.
Usenet, MUDs, etc. are interesting as examples which were simultaneously well-known but also strangely ignored as precedents for a lot of the bad behaviour we've seen on a much larger scale.

I think in a way those early examples might have held recognition back because a lot of the most authoritative people had learned “no big deal” back in the era when the Internet wasn't integral to our lives and harassment techniques were far more primitive and less routine (pre-SWATing, revenge porn, social network-driven harassment of people you actually known, etc.), and because so many of the people involved were affluent white men who just didn't tend to attract the kind of persistent hate campaigns which became famous years later. Kathy Sierra should have been a wakeup call but a lot of people shrugged and said “don't feed the trolls” as if that was useful.
>If I am able to provide a wifi hotspot for a year at some cost, that has some relevance to providing a wifi hotspot at some other cost.

You weren't providing a hotspot to others in any systematic sort of way. You were consuming internet services provided for free or near free by other people.

I'd compare it to the difference between spending for a year feeding yourself through asking for alms or through the McDonalds dollar menu, and running a restaurant. Both involve food, but the former does not predict the difficulty level of the latter.
Clearly, the unit here should be British thermal unit. :-)

A big PITA for me right now with friends and family is changing DNS. They all have these Xfinity cable modem boxes that have integrated WiFi and Ethernet. It's not possible to change the DNS through the web interface. So I have to convince everyone to buy a separate AP or a 3rd party (but ISP approved) cable modem, and then what ensues is I'm now responsible for that device because Xfinity washes their hands entirely if there are any problems.

It's also a PITA to change this on each device.
They don't have to be wise or responsible. They do have to have a desire to raise their kids with future-proof values. These are not necessarily the same thing.

And .. Homer Simpson? Fiction, yo.
So how would you represent an absence of a value? In an enum that'd be easy, but there is a semantic difference between an empty string and a null string.

Or would you propose sending a boolean to indicate null as well as a string in a data type?
