You can run a benchmark of your own using namebench. I recommend you uncheck the options for the included nameservers or it will take a very long time to run and enter only the DNS servers you want to test manually. It can use your Firefox browsing history as a source for domains to resolve.

Ignore the "incorrect" and "hijacked" warnings, I think the program has hardcoded, outdated IP ranges for popular services which causes those.

"What we can say is that when complex technological systems fail, usually no single factor is to blame. In her study of the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster, the sociologist Diane Vaughan noted a phenomenon she called the “normalization of deviance,” an acceptance of assumptions and shortcuts that over time incrementally piles on risk until, like compounding interest on debt, a kind of technological bill suddenly becomes due."

I remember reading (and marvelling) about TaOS and Transputers when I read an article about it in UK’s Edge gaming magazine (I am not nor ever was a gamer, but somehow the technology fascinated me) back in 1992 or 1993. I still have the complete first year of that magazine (which began by reviewing the technology of the then-upcoming 3DO). Great memories.
I didn’t know about that attack. Thanks.

Probably a good time for this reminder: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb

>>> Bat bombs were an experimental World War II weapon developed by the United States. The bomb consisted of a bomb-shaped casing with over a thousand compartments, each containing a hibernating Mexican free-tailed bat with a small, timed incendiary bomb attached. Dropped from a bomber at dawn, the casings would deploy a parachute in mid-flight and open to release the bats, which would then roost in eaves and attics in a 20–40 mile radius. The incendiaries would start fires in inaccessible places in the largely wood and paper constructions of the Japanese cities that were the weapon's intended target.
Yes, you leave it at that, why would personal details be relevant?

Making it public means more eyes on the data, which can lead to a better understanding of what went wrong.
Why not both? You're smart enough I guess to find a good solution.

It is possible we are prone to sudden termination or tinkering because we are instantiated by equipment outside our own possible perceptions -- but does that make it a simulation? Our very definition of information manipulation is computation. And our science of physics is founded on the principles of unitarity. Saying there is a God is the same as saying our universe is a simulation. I think the only important factor is whether we are prone to manipulation by external unobservable actions -- It is funny then to just see strongly religious folk as believers in that nice surly sysadmin Big G. And then throw blackhat redboxing Satan in there too, he hacks the box occasionally and overheats the case. Poor misunderstood hacker..

"Simulation" is such a catch 22. There is no way to know if anything runs itself in compartmentalized fashion so it needs no higher equipment. Its the snake eating its own tail. If its possible then maybe we are isolated...Black holes as isolated universes somewhat accomplishes this only due to continuous values..time dilation...infinite time inside..finite time outside. Its a pretty thought.

But I'd still raise the flag to say that technically, we could eventually create black holes. And that slippery slope leads to the question: If THEY chose the seed but cant intervene - are we technically a simulation? Or are we free?

All the usual questions about God and divine intervention..and the asymmetrical cosmic background radiation possibly due to the big bang (seed?) come to bear.

Thanks for making me think about these things. Really phanatasmagoric ideas here.

Heh. This reminds me of a recent pet peeve and observation of mine: progressive web apps are not faster.

The Twitter Lite PWA, arguably the 'flagship' PWA ("developed in partnership with Google"), takes longer to display tweets for me than regular desktop Twitter.com, and the old 'static' mobile twitter site (which loads INSTANTLY[1] you can only get with user agent trickery)

[1] Just did some testing. According to Chrome Dev Tools, old Twitter Mobile displays tweets in 124ms. PWA Twitter takes greater than 1.4s (it stopped recording screenshots), 2s according to a screen recording https://gfycat.com/PlushThornyIcefish

A fine example of Goodhart’s Law

Land is definitely cheaper in the US. Building codes vary quite a bit. But I don’t expect these houses to last 50+ years without significant upkeep. It seems like the quality of the buildings were higher in Western Europe. But that could be survivor bias. Crappy buildings get knocked down sooner.
Quad9 doesn’t seem to work at some universities in Australia, not sure why. DNS fails to resolve from the WiFi.
The reason I rent from Enterprise is that I don't have to worry about insurance or breakdowns. My financial loss is set at £100 maximum and the cars are nearly always brand new so unlikely to breakdown.

To start using some unregulated operation like 'AirBnB for cars' I would need do be paying virtually nothing as an incentive. And, from the examples I've seen so far, this is no way the case.
PWAs aren't literally faster — caching aside, they load the same data and it takes the same amount of time over the same connection. But there is a percieved performance boost if the PWA uses caching and preloading intelligently. The first load might take a little longer, loading the first tweets will take just as long, but scrolling through the timeline should be faster and page transitions can be almost instantaneous.
> That's all fine and good if you have a choice in when you travel. Car broken down and you need to get to work? Good luck having a choice. Doctor's appointment? Need to go to court? You are just stuck having to pay.

But this is exactly the problem that surge pricing solves, other people that can choose when to travel will already be traveling at other times, which means you'll have a car available instead of having 0 because everyone else is trying to travel at the same time.

Making the price constant doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to travel when you need, only that if you can get a car, you'll pay a certain price. If you want both that seems like something that is solved by both surge pricing and insurance.

> You can plan on having more cabs during busy hours and fewer during less busy hours. Buses often have more busses on the routes during busy times of day.

That means higher infrastructure costs (need more cars, more maintenance, more/bigger roads) which will lead to higher prices.

> If you want choice in such things, it takes more than surge pricing. Cooperation between workplaces and so on to stagger start/end times, for example.

Yes, but surge pricing can nudge that cooperation into existence. Maybe not by itself, but in conjunction with surge pricing in other areas as well.

Our societies have to deal with extra costs because of the man-made rush-hour: "Everyone" showers at the same time, turns on their toasters at the same time, occupies the roads/buses at the same time, etc. Turn those costs into real dollars instead of subsidizing them with higher prices on the low hours and watch businesses start to fix it by themselves.
You can query DNS root server.
https://www.iana.org/domains/root/servers

And use long TTL time with large cache size.

Other than some small edge cases, this is pretty much the most secure and fastest DNS performance you will have, in most instances getting about 1 or <1ms speed. Depending on DNS server you can even have both root servers and resolver configured.

I have been using unbound for at least 4 years. Simple and fast.

Quad9 has several IPs and different services, see (https://www.heise.de/imgs/18/2/3/1/7/9/4/7/quad9-feature-mat...). For some reason this is hidden on the quad9 website.
Nothing hard to understand about your logic. It is the underlying assumption that is flawed.

The makers are not tracking that statistic (number of units sold that were not connected to the internet). They don't care if you connect it to the internet or not. Anything that happens after the initial sale (beyond returns and warranty repairs) is simply irrelevant to them, because there is zero income stream (unless they are charging an 'upgrade fee' later for something).

They care only about that initial sale. The only feedback channel they listen to is "units sold".

But too many people are addicted to the upgrade cycle and as a result not enough will simply turn away and say "no thanks, I'll stick with my dumb TV" (or go hunt down those few dumb TV's that still exist, so the sales numbers shift to dumb TV's).
From a German perspective, I can say that costs of building a house are rising mainly due to new legislation around CO2 reduction and fire safety. In a time when producing most goods is getting cheaper through technology, cost of house conatruction is rising.
There also doesn't seem to be much innivation in the building industry.
I always used 8.8.8.8, since I couldn't remember OpenDNS's IPs.

I sleep on a Tempur-pedic and I don't like it. I turn around at night and the mattress resists that, giving me neck pain since I have to arch even more in the turn to compensate. And it's not so great for sleeping face down, because of the way I sink in. I rarely wake up without some kind of neck or shoulder pain.

I should replace it with something else, but I'm far from sure I can find something.
Clean Code: YES, PLEASE Eight tips to get a quality code
If telemetry data hashes are regularly added to a blockchain, then we can be confident that the full-data set matches the hash at a later date, and are not purely dependant on the honesty of a proprietary manufacturer.

If there is a concern that the original data collected might be doctored... then this is valid, but also should be the focus of tests and legislation.

Ie,

- Currently, speedometers are legally required to be within a certain tolerance and calibrated.
- VW Diesel scandal, was discovered and hurt the manufacturer badly.

The argument that not using a blockchain for storing referential data because it might be dishonest data doesn't strengthen the argument that we should purely trust the vendor, it makes it weaker!

(That said, I think this is pre-optimising and using blockchain for this today is overkill... but long term, I could very much see this being a valid use-case)

Right, which would belie the notion that casuals are pushed out.
I like the example of Kittyhawk to the moon - 66 years. I realize they are not commensurate, since rockets and balloons existed long before aircraft, and the Wright Flyer 1 is not really in the ancestral lineage of Apollo spacecraft. Those 67 years are still impressively short, even though the advances were mainly due to wars (hot and Cold).
Sure, I'm not disagreeing with the point as you state it. I was just surprised by the claim that casuals are pushed out.

Solid advise. I think finance massively recruits maths aptitude from physics for precisely this ability to connect hard core maths to models of the world.

>> In countries like Germany, tuition is free, i.e., the whole society pays for your degree.

The same is true for most of the EU, except, notably, the UK, which is the other developed country, besides the US, where higher education is a proper industry and where students often get some serious debt to go to university.

I did all of my studies in the UK, though I'm from Greece. From the start I was struck with how much the public discussion around education is focused on money. It's not so much that university studies are aimed at getting you a (better) job, it's more like the UK society has lost its ability to measure the need for education with any other metric than how much more money you're making afterwards.

With the debate focusing on money like that, I think it will be pretty hard for the US or the UK to do anything about their "crazy fees" like you say. They now see those fees as a kind of investment: you pay some money up front to get a return to your investment later.

That is certainly a broken way to do education, higher or otherwise, but the solution is not to tear down higher education altogether. The obvious (to me) solution is to make it publicly funded again, as it used to be in both countries in the past, so that younger generations can benefit as their parents and grandparents did, without taking on extravagant debt.

'The Computer Language Benchmarks Game' to Go Offline in May
Okay so lets _actually_ look at the market when judging AMP and deciding what Google's purpose of it is.

We have a mobile web where publishers are very bad at making websites. The fill them full of various trackers, ad networks, bad practices and slow them down. This is bad because it makes the web a bad experience on mobile and drives users into native apps.

Facebook and Apple 'realised' this as well and launched their own proprietary solutions for their native platforms (for slightly differing reasons): Facebook had Instant Articles and Apple had their News app, all entirely closed platforms operating outside of the 'web' and without Google. This is a fundamental threat to Google as a business.

If you're in Google's shoes, what do you do? The web standards just don't provide a compelling enough solution to compete with FB Instant Articles and Apple News, which get to leverage being native apps, defining their own formats (fun fact: Apple News articles are JSON!) and preloading content however they Desiree.

AMP was their solution - based on 'open web standards', combined with a shitty hack to preload content when coming from their search results. They said from the beginning their taking the efforts of their AMP project and proposing standards for it, and that's what they're doing.

You can't properly judge Google's AMP efforts without first looking at what they were up against from Facebook and Apple.
> - would be implemented in a way that favours speed, not placing in search and inside Google's ecosystem

How? How do you 'load' pages instantly without their search iframe hack?
> FWIW my assumption always is that it's "a borrow".

But for how long? Forget about multithreading for a moment, but can my function store the pointer for later use? This is incredibly common in OOP, and dangling pointers/references are one of the (if not the) top sources of bugs in C and C++. And unlike other sources of bugs, there’s no good fundamental remedy against it.
Adding a German perspective: this might be one factor among many. Other factors include

- land owners who wait to sell at even higher prices

- drastically reduced social housing construction (Sozialer Wohnbau)

- heavy influx of foreign capital (at least in major cities) reducing existing capacities

- missing holistic development concepts/strategies (one big exception is probably the Bahnstadt in Heidelberg)

- on average, low building height in city centers

The whole topic just hasn’t been a top priority lately and we’re moving way too slow to change that
