The biggest problem is that a lot of people don't want to moderate their appetites, they just want to eat and eat, and they think there's a perfect food out there that you can just eat as much as you want.

The media feeds into to this, with the "fat bad carbs good fat good carbs bad protein superfood eat this don't eat that eat that don't eat this" nonsense.

Eat a varied diet, avoid added sugars and fats. Boom, 90% done.

Sacrifice means giving up something in return for another thing that is worth much less (or nothing) in value.

Most people, especially on HN, would argue that the Apollo program has yielded enormous benefits for America. And it cost only $25 billion - about as much as Trump’s border wall (the cost estimates for which are most likely grossly optimistic).

I think you're not giving enough weight to the massive increase (as a ratio) of people seeking postgraduate education. Today about 12% of people have at least a masters. And that number continues to increase as education, even in fields without meaningful career prospects, is continually evangelized. By contrast in years from 1975-1995 the total percent of people age 25-29 who had even a bachelors degree was only in the range of 21-25%. That number today is 36%, and again - growing. I doubt the ratio of gross 'revenue' (including grants) to total faculty today is less today than it was in the 'heyday.' Given the massive increases in tuition, I would be quite surprised if it's not vastly higher.

I completely and absolutely agree with you about the perversion of research directions, but I think this can be pin pointed more precisely to just a single point you said - universities are increasingly being run as for-profit businesses. That is really the root of all of these problems.
Considering how most people eat to a calorie surplus on a daily basis, fewer calories is a good thing.
You are correct about how the current system is the result of a draw down of past heavy funding. The timing of the draw down was different in different fields. An NSF official explained to me in 1990 that, in the 1960's, 90% of grant applications were funded. By 1990, 90% were rejected. The same is true for hiring: in 1945-1970, with the G.I. bill and the explosion of new universities (e.g., in California), almost everyone with a Ph.D. was hired for a tenure track position, and many tenure track positions were held by professors without Ph.D.'s. As you say, faculty only very slowly learns that the systems they came up in are gone, and so they over-prepare young people for a world that is gone. The future may be a combination of the older tradition that professors start with inherited wealth and a new pattern that an academic career begins with 10 years building wealth in business.

Everything you've mentioned completely misses the point - it is not just performance that stinks, it is not just javascript as a language that stinks - all these tools are incremental improvements that completely lack imagination.

It is the platform itself - meant to display static text content, being coerced into some frankenstein that requires never-ending libraries and tooling to do what desktop apps did 20 years ago.

It is hard to see any other world, so let me link you to a guy to whom it was obvious the web browsers stink decades ago.

If you need privacy then self censor?

One of the core reasons for privacy is to prevent censorship in all forms.

I (and a few of my friends) picked mushrooms at farms as a part-time job while studying.

Where I live Internet providers deliberately make self hosting anything extremely hard.

Then they charge often 5x or more their normal price to let you host things, but add lots of exceptions, for example all providers put in contract they can immediately cancel your subscription of they detect you hosting anything irc related, doesn't matter of it is a irc server or a irc bot or a server for a open source irc client...
Where did you find one?
Apparently, no one.
Can someone explain this tweet to me?

> But when @netflix and other content providers decline the use of their apps outside of integrated devices this is the hell we live in.

I don't understand. I can just open a web browser on a little media center PC, connect it by HDMI, point it to Netflix and play a movie, right? (Admittedly I haven't tried because our Panasonic has Netflix and no ads or spy apps that I've noticed)

But what exactly does Netflix forbid that @buro9 is referring to? And does anyone know what their reasoning is for doing so?

I ask because I'm rather interested in the concept of buying a dumb TV once this one breaks (hopefully long from now), but I do like me my Netflix. Lots of people in this thread suggest buying a dumb TV but I don't understand why Netflix and friends would disallow customers using that.
Not sure if it applies here, but cell towers also have limits. Especially if the area is somewhat remote (think music festivals, etc).
Thats what I did, it popped up after first power up asking for wifi password, to quote Snowden "lol no.".
> What many Internet users don't realize is that even if you're visiting a website that is encrypted — has the little green lock in your browser — that doesn't keep your DNS resolver from knowing the identity of all the sites you visit. That means, by default, your ISP, every wifi network you've connected to, and your mobile network provider have a list of every site you've visited while using them.

> Network operators have been licking their chops for some time over the idea of taking their users' browsing data and finding a way to monetize it.

The "1.1.1.1 stops ISPs/Starbucks from selling your browsing history" pitch is untrue and, given Cloudflare's expertise, seems disingenuous.

HTTPS transmits domains unencrypted in request headers, to support SNI. So even if DNS lookups are completely hidden, my ISP can still log all domains I visit by inspecting my HTTP(S) requests.

And the domain log from my web requests is more valuable than my DNS log. Advertisers and data aggregators can see the true timing and frequency of my browsing history, whereas a DNS log is affected by router/OS/browser lookup caching.
If you're memory constrained, why would you use a GC? Just use manual memory arenas. They're trivially simple once you've seen how to use them.

Unfortunately, Rust currently requires breaking some conventions and using unsafe quite a bit to do this without overflowing the stack, but it's just an extra keyword or two compared to C, and the safety guarantees outside of the unsafe code make up for it.

Given any data submitted to FB legally becomes their property, they don’t have any obligation to delete it.
Nobody is saying that, you're making a straw-man argument.

People are just saying that they have no interest in being part of a network that tracks their videos, location, actual name, phone number, text messages, behavior across the whole internet, email address, and builds a psychological profile on them in exchange to look up college buddies (and therefore have deleted their accounts).

Many of us want a network that errs to the side of too private, and it's okay if not everybody is on that network. Many of us would rather have no network as compared to one that's too public.

What exactly is the privacy threat model in this situation? If you are about to connect to the resolved service it makes no difference that you hid your subnet from that service’s DNS server.
Yes, and the massive increase in people seeking postgrad education was preceded by a massive increase in people offering postgrad education. AND at the same time, you remind me of working in a college where a project was started to launch a grad program, and the justification made in committee meetings was, "we need to get some grad students around here to teach the classes and free up our time. Otherwise we'll never get ahead."

First of all, KPMG is the name of a group. All the Big Four are arranged as group companies, a single financial entity owns the name (e.g "KPMG", "EY") from some friendly place, (London in all but one case) and licenses out the right to operate a member company to professional services companies in various jurisdictions around the world. The group has the famous name, and sets some rules about training and compliance, but the employees will (almost all) work for the local member companies even though reporting for lay people will say the group name, as they do here.

Secondly, the idea in audit is not really about digging into the engineering. So although they will need people who have some idea what DNS is, they don't need experts - this isn't code review. The auditors tend to spend most of their time looking at paperwork and at policy - so e.g. we don't expect auditors to discover a Raspberry Pi configured for packet logging hidden in a patchbay, but we do expect them to find if "Delete logs every morning" is an ambition and it's not anybody's job to actually do that, nor is it anybody's job to check it got done.
Sorry, confused. Https requests are prolific, while encrypted DNS requests aren't. Why isn't the former less hard to detect?
I am sure parent meant "passing by reference". (In Oberon, for example, this is indicated by the VAR keyword.)

> The hard part is to select which features of C++ to use and more importantly which NOT to use and to ENFORCE these rules.

Maybe I've just not kept up properly, but I find it surprising that there isn't a tool which can enforce this already. It seems so obviously desirable.

I guess clang-tidy + custom "checks" + CI server enforcement could achieve something similar, but I'm just surprised that it doesn't exist.

(Of course, many of the useful metaprogramming libraries for C++, e.g. Boost::Hana, use a lot of weird features of C++ to achieve their goal of being simpler to use for clients of the library. I suppose it might be possible to limit the warnings to "self-implemented" functionality, but it might be tricky...)
I don't think I would be comfortable with production code that swallowed access errors by providing a guard post value. I feel like that would too easily slip through in places it shouldn't. To ensure it didn't happen you would need to include explicit checks everywhere, which sort of defeats the stated purpose of the library.

However, it is a handy feature for writing tests. I wrote a similar library for testing called magical-mock based on the python library. https://www.npmjs.com/package/magical-mock

An item on my todo list for years has been to create a project that wipes your history on various social media services.

Yeah, sometimes those might actually make things go smoother, but generally it's security updates, which you almost certainly won't need without internet connection.
What spec says that 127.1 and 127.0.0.1 are equivalent?
Cloudflare is a private company and they're free to do what they want but their reasoning for the Daily Stormer termination felt like a convenient excuse to me. I'm sure that it was the best business decision for them but when I read a blog post touting 1.1.1.1 as being anti-censorship, I roll my eyes.

Anti-censorship so long as Matthew Prince doesn't have a bad morning.

I run my own DNS-over-TLS resolver at a trusted hosting provider. It upstreams to a selection of roots for which I have reasonable trust. My resolver does DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS, and plain DNS. Multiple listening ports for the secure stuff so that I have something that works for most circumstances.
Content owners dictate in contractual terms the availability of their content in high definition (UHD, 4k, etc) be determined by the app securing access to the content.

The result is that the higher quality content is only available on apps on closed platforms.

So if you got a dumb panel and wanted high definition content, you'd still need to hook up something like the Nvidia Shield... essentially a closed platform (Android again in this instance).
Don't worry about it, some people want everything for free, if they want to cite you they should plan that the internet is temporary and there is no guarantee that content will be there in the next 15 minutes let alone a few years. Keep deleting your stuff and don't worry about the people who think you should do this or do that with the way you handle your internets.
I just want to understand how people believed all these services worked previously

for example,

did you know that when you purchase an ebook using kindle software amazon knows exactly what page you've read to and how long you've stayed on each page. They also know exactly what books you have purchased.

Or

Did you know that whenever you use a smart tv app that every time you "hover" over a tv show an event is logged that you hovered over it? Same with every click and every time you rent a movie.

This all seems pretty scary but these services could not function without this information.

It's kind of crazy how people have been talking about this and the real estate and shadow banking and zombie companies for almost an entire decade, but the Chinese economy remains resilient.

I wonder: were people talking about the subprime mortgage crisis that long? Do we just hear about stuff sooner because of the Internet being more mainstream? Is China possibly immune to a downturn just given its sheer size in population, the fact that it's basically a dictatorship, and that it's not affected much by outside money?

I've been bearish on the Chinese economy since 2012. Luckily I didn't bet on it.
