As you point out, there is already a major issue when dealing with honest scientists who have to work in a publish or perish model where funding is based on getting results. But if we were to tweak the parameters so that there are at least some biased scientists and that the finding sources are biased for certain results (other than just any result where p < 0.05), and we take into account a subset of society looking for 'scientific support' of their personal convictions, the issue becomes much worse.

Look at how much damage was done by science misleading people about nutrition in regards to carbs and fats. How often, especially from the social sciences, does some scientific finding get reported by popular media as some major finding which should have drastic effects on social/legal policy, only for the root experiment to be a single study with a p < 0.05 where the authors caution against drawing any conclusions other than 'more research is needed'? Violence and media is a good example, and even more so when we consider the more prurient variants thereof.

I think this is the basis of why I am more willing to trust new research in physics more than in sociology.

> A classic example is sexual harassment in the workplace: women are justifiably upset by it, but men are also upset at the blowback. Fact is, it’s pretty easy for a man to be threatening to a woman without realizing he is — most men don’t understand how much the sheer size/strength difference intimidates most women when emotions get heated. Navigating this environment takes empathy from both sides and is something that has to be established on a person-to-person basis.

That might be true in some edge/fringe cases, but your characterization as an equal push-pull here is wildly misleading. There is a change happening, very much for the better, but that is clearly in one direction, and not rooted in "both sides".

> There seems to have developed somewhat of a “gentleman’s agreement” in most public spaces (explicitly political forums like protests notwithstanding) along be lines of “don’t provoke me for my religious beliefs and I won’t provoke you for your homosexuality”.

Given the previous quote, are the "religious beliefs" in this case relating to sexuality? In that case, one thing is not like the other.

You can (and I personally have) grow out of judging people based on their sexuality, grounded in your inherited religion. You can however not grow out of your sexuality. One has to be accepted, religious prejudices (IMHO) don't.

"Meeting in the middle" doesn't work, if the middle is way off to the side of where rationality lives. I don't think we can judge thinks purely objectively, but trying on different optics at least helps to inform our argument, whatever that is. This is the goal I hope we reach.
Thanks for your honesty. I do hope your project succeeds and the root turns out how you planned, I just have some doubt. It's been tried before. Keep working at it :)
I wonder what happens when China becomes more environmentally friendly than the US. What sort of excuses will the Trump crow come up with then?

Usually whatever is done in Europe is ignored in the US, with the reason that China is so much worse. China has been a useful bogeyman for conservatives for decades as a reason to not make any sort of improvement whether related to the environment, workers salaries, work conditions, universal health care etc.

If nothing else, Ling's Cars is remarkable. The car leasing market is interminably bland, full of hundreds of players offering the same deals on the same cars. There aren't many ways to stand out in that market, but Ling has done it by being absolutely bonkers.

That remarkability may also act as a form of social proof. On some level, we instinctively recognise that if Advantage Motor Leasing Ltd screw over a bunch of their customers, they could just rebrand as Premier Motor Leasing Ltd and carry on regardless. A faceless company with a Wordpress template website can easily shake off a bad reputation. Ling's business is deeply personal and highly distinctive, representing a significant investment in her reputation.

DNSSEC is a limited hack. Ok? I only suggested using it at all because it can be used right now to secure the process of generating certs. There is a very good reason I don't want to put all my eggs in that basket.

The root servers and TLD are not supposed to be the authoritative source of trust for your domain. That is the registrar's job. That is the registrar's only job: control my domain, and don't let anyone fuck with it. Hence, they should be the ones to keep a record that you can control to tell people where trust should lie. If you don't like your registrar, you can transfer your domain to a different one.

The purpose of DNS is to be a phone book. When you call a number from the phone book, the person you are calling might not be who you expect, even if you got the number from a very trustworthy source. Perhaps a spy is sitting on the other end of the phone. After you connect to the phone number, you should authenticate the other end.

Why not put the authentication information in the phone book? Because you got the phone book from one place. The spy could have compromised the phone book, and now you have no way to know if your authentication is real. It is a better idea to have one phone book for calls, and one separate authentication book that you get from a separate source.

DNSSEC's security depends on one child publishing one key to one parent. If you attack that one factor successfully, the security is broken, and there are multiple vectors to attack. There is no defense in depth. For a highly motivated state actor, this is not difficult to circumvent. The more you lean on DNSSEC, the more fragile the entire internet's security becomes. A better method is to decentralize and distribute trust into multiple organizations and processes, so that it would be very difficult to compromise an entire internet system.

I haven't mentioned the many fundamental problems with DNSSEC rollout and use because I think those are mainly a problem of lack of incentives, and are addressable. Go ahead and use DNSSEC if you want. Just don't tie a rope around your neck by making all internet security dependent on it.

Tim Brady, ex-Yahoo exec, on why success is a losy teacher:

When things are going well and you’re in a growth industry, you don’t have to deal with many difficult issues. It’s the old cliche, winning solves everything. It’s really true. It solves everything… or maybe better said, it masks all your mistakes. A lot of the mistakes you make get masked because you receive almost no negative feedback.

But then the bottom fell out and the board let Tim Koogle go. The upper ranks of management emptied out pretty quick, except for me and the CTO who stuck around. We got a new CEO and set of peers in upper management. Let me just say, I learned a whole lot more about business on the way down than I did on the way up.

I was thinking about using an existing blockchain such as Bitcoin. Of course then the inconvenient is that archive.org would have to pay a fee every time they submit a new hash. A comment above pointed out that the scheme I described (unsurprisingly) already exists at https://petertodd.org/2016/opentimestamps-announcement

Realistically it might be overkill though, simply setting up some mailing list where anybody can subscribe and be sent the checksum every day or even just publishing it at some URL and letting users scrap it if they want might be sufficient. If we're talking about one checksum every day it's only a few kilobytes every year, it shouldn't be too difficult to convince a few hundred people and organizations around the world to mirror it.

RFC3161 has very poor security, as it blindly trusts certificate authorities.

You really need better auditing than that, which is why the certificate authority infrastructure now relies on a blockchain - Certificate Transparency - for auditing. Similarly, for timestamping specifically, Guardtime has used a blockchain for auditing their timestamps since well before blockchains got called blockchains.

I'm in two minds over this. First, it's ridiculous that someone is being jailed for 15 months for trying to make it easier to keep using older PCs and reducing waste.

On the other hand that's the risk one takes when dabbling in the world of proprietary software. Where discouraging people from upgrading is seen as a threat to revenue and is attacked accordingly.

Had he printed 34,000 Linux disks we'd never have had this case and sentence, but then perhaps no one would have used those old PCs. It seems that someone has to lose.

A big problem is that so much of human history is now under water. The Mediterranean was likely an extremely fertile region in which to hunt, and likely the largest Neanderthal settlements that ever existed were there. Sadly, they are now under water. Likewise, much of the land between Africa and Saudi Arabia is now under water, though if we could explore it we would learn a lot about how humans migrated out of Africa. And likewise, the spread of humans in south east Asia --- our understanding would be very different if only we could easily see all the old settlements that are now under water.

A significant part of our story has simply been washed away by rising sea levels, once the Ice Age ended.

"Unfortunately, in what seems to have been a huge mistake, the disks had “labels nearly identical to the discs provided by Dell for its computers and had the Windows and Dell logos,” the Times wrote. As a result, Lundgren pleaded guilty to two of 21 charges, conspiracy and copyright infringement. He told the paper, “If I had just written ‘Eric’s Restore Disc’ on there, it would have been fine.”

Sounds like this guy made a really bad decision in putting the Windows and Dell logos on the disks, and then selling them (albeit for $0.25, which would seem to just barely cover the cost of production.) But that bad decision pales in comparison to the court's decision to value at $25 what Microsoft was giving away for free. If anything, he was saving them a significant amount of bandwidth.

Does anyone rememner the Jolla phone?

I had one and it was great! The reason: You could do a lot of the necessary things with a phone, like:

* Making calls

* Sending text messages

* Set an alarm/timer

* Take a photo

You could also do a lot of the less necessary things like:

* surfing/facebook/reddit, through the web browser.

* playing (some) games

But, those less necessary things were just a _little_ too much effort to be worth it. Surfing was a bit cumbersome and I didn't have that many apps on it.

I found myself using the phone less for unnecessary things and just as a tool to actually do things I needed.
I loved it for that. If they sold decent phones still, I might probably buy another. Now I'm back to android and use the phone for more unneccessary things again.

Also, I liked the sounds and themes on the Jolla.

That command probably goes in a "location" block that matches the set of HTML pages that use main.css.

Normally, the browser parses HTML, finds a <link> tag that mentions main.css, and then requests main.css. With HTTP/2 push, by the time the browser has finished parsing the <link> tag, main.css has already been delivered.

If the browser already has main.css in its cache, it can reject the push.

So, why not make it better? Or, why not educate users the messages are in clear text via UI indication that the message is not protected? That would help with users understanding what's going on and allowing them to protect themselves.
You're absolutely right. This guy obviously deserves to spent the next 15 years in jail because his startup practically gave away disks with someone else's logo on it that even the original copyright owner doesn't charge money for.
“One of his projects was to manufacture thousands of ‘restore disks,’ usually supplied by computer-makers as a way for users to restore Windows to a hard drive if it crashes or must be wiped. The disks can be used only on a computer that already has a license for the Windows operating system, and the license transfers with the computer for its full life span. But computer owners often lose or throw out the disks, and though the operating system can be downloaded free on a licensed computer, Lundgren realized that many people didn’t feel competent to do that, and were simply throwing out their computers and buying new ones.

Lundgren had 28,000 of the disks made and shipped to a broker in Florida. Their plan was to sell the disks to computer refurbishing shops for about 25 cents apiece, so the refurbishers could provide the disks to used-computer buyers and wouldn’t have to take the time to create the disks themselves.

...

Eventually, the Florida broker, Robert Wolff, called Lundgren and offered to buy the disks himself as part of a government sting, Lundgren said. Wolff sent Lundgren $3,400, and the conspiracy was cemented. Both were indicted on a charge of conspiracy to traffic in counterfeit goods and criminal copyright infringement.”

This should not result in jail time. Is Florida really so free of violent crime and other more serious offenses that this case is a priority for federal prosecutors?
