A bitcoin-style blockchain outsources trust to the participants with the most computing power. It does not magically eliminate trust.

This means that it's only a good idea if either a) you can limit the participants, and you somehow trust the participants with the most computing power than (e.g.) a simple majority of authorized participants, or b) you do not limit the participants, and you trust anyone in the world with the most computing power more than you trust anyone you would pick for some other reason.

For some applications - e.g. money for people who don't trust their governments or aren't well-served by the inter-government norms around currency exchange - they're legitimately in situation B. Sending and receiving bits to literally anyone is better than not being able to send and receive currency at all, and since a 51% attack will be noticed, it's unlikely to be used on any individual small-time user.

For provenance tracking between a set of companies identified in advance, I have difficulty understanding how you can be in situation B, and you're not in situation A.

If you instead want a cryptographically-verified immutable append-only log, there are lots of non-blockchain structures for immutable append-only logs that permit only a finite set of writers. Certificate Transparency is one of them: issued certificates cannot leave the log, and there are mechanisms for pre-logging certificates before issuance, but the only things worth logging are certificates from trusted (or partly-trusted) certificate authorities. Anyone can participate in the trust process, but transactions themselves only come from a limited set of participants, so you get to completely bypass proof-of-having-more-computers-than-everyone-else.
The AT&T gateway doesn't offer a bridge mode.

The best you get is a "passthrough" mode where a router behind it will get assigned the public-facing IP so it doesn't ultimately behave like double-NAT, but the gateway still maintains an internal NAT table for everything going across.

You can't just use your own VDSL modem or plug your own router into the fiber ONT, as AT&T uses 802.1x auth and the key is burned into the gateway hardware.

It was always that way. Let's encrypt actually improves this by only handing out short lived certs.
I don't think that's specific enough. For example all the places API calls are grouped together but there are 13 types at different prices. I don't see any way to figure out how much we'll be paying.

For me looks like I went from basically free to $600/mo just for map views. I have no idea how much more I'll have to pay for API calls because they completely obfuscate the data.

Now we have 30 days to figure out how to make the money work or find another solution. Pretty crappy of an API provider (let alone Google) to do this. At least now we know not to trust our apps / sites infrastructure to Google... they aren't the same "do no evil" company they used to be.

> Keyword stuffing. This typically means the candidate is writing their resume for a search engine.

If you're applying to a larger company, your CV is likely to be imported into their internal system, often semi-automatically. Sometimes the keywords are not for the public search engine, but for the initial HR's sorting.

The original iPhone didn't have the AppStore. It was an incremental development on the original iPhone.

Palm and Blackberry devices at the time did have AppStores. I was a happy Treo user...and the iPhone didn't have the ability for me to build apps for it. I also used my finger to touch the screen.

What the iPhone didn't have was a physical keyboard. That was the primary design innovation.

At present 100G-LR4 is the defacto standard for ISP peering interconnections (such as to an IX switch in the same building, or for PNIs between big players within the same carrier hotel). Because it is very low cost. The cheap 25 Gbps x 4 approach and low cost cwdm prism are a big part of that. Since 100G will soon move from qsfp format down to the same size as SFP and SFP+ (fitting 48 in a 1RU height, 17.5" wide line card in a chassis based Arista), I don't foresee them becoming any less popular... Not when the optics are so affordable.
Thanks!

Its strange that Amazon did this, because its clearly not because of licencing (you didn't restrict it). Although this does happen quite frequently for me, mostly when clicking links on reddit (streamable for the win)

Got a link to the original hacker news article by chance? I’d like to see the comments
I find the sappy, defeatest, whiney attitude with the FCC useless. File them if you're affected. They're cataloged and can be used as evidence in the future. The current administration is certainly against regulation, but blocking a DNS provider is an escalation. More than likely, this block is due to incompetence. My guess is ATT was using the IP internally for some purpose and is now getting DDOS'd.
One point: the whole URL doesn't get sent to the DNS server, just the domain name.

Regarding privacy, Cloudflare are at least saying they aren't spying on you. Your ISP may not even be saying this. Also, Cloudflare don't necessarily have access to your name and address, whereas your ISP does. Also, many different sites can be hosted on the same IP address, so merely tracking the IP addresses a client is connected to won't necessarily tell you what sites they're visiting.
It would be cool to post some performance results from loops of common operations, comparing the various types and various bigint sizes.

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand why.
100G NICs and dual port of the same version are a really good argument for the need for more pci-express 3.0 lanes in single socket servers. The AMD epyc is a step in the right direction. If you assume a server that might have two m.2 nvme SSD in it, those take up lanes, and then the nic will eat an x16 interface.
exactly... why pull out random numbers out of your ass?
There was a comment in the previous thread suggesting that the diversity scholarship was sexist and racist. In a world where racism and sexism were absent, then a scholarship directed towards a particular gender or race would be racist or sexist. I believe the point of the original poster is that to label the scholarship as racist or sexist is to assume that we live in a world with racial/gender/ethnic equality.

> There are businesses that the public doesn't trust that could be disrupted by blockchain technology. Take a look at the studies on trust in casino and poker games. The public is very skeptical.

Why is blockchain more useful here than a commitment scheme (e.g., the dealer publishes a salted hash of the order of cards, plays the game, then reveals the salt once all the cards are played)? The commitment scheme doesn't involve waiting for proof-of-work calculations or interacting with an existing global network / file.

It makes sense to use a stateful structure for a ledger of money, because the question of how much money I have depends on how much money was transfered to me since my account was opened. But how one poker game is played is not affected by how any previous poker game was played.
ISP injecting “alerts” into non-https webpages
Without supporting evidence, it looks way too much like claiming credit for and expertise in everything any of your friends or coworkers has ever done. The chance of one person doing production grade work on all of those things is quite small. Tell me which of those you're expert in, and which of those you're familiar with because it was used around your specialty and you had opportunity dip your fingers in. Even your shorter list - while being more believable - would have me asking questions about your strengths at each layer of "full stack" you're claiming. Every great fullstack dev I've met has been open about specialising in some part while being some degree of competent or capable in other parts.

This is what I see as the true power of kubernetes -- once people start developing high quality (hopefully open source) applications for platforms like kubernetes, providers like AWS should lose their "value-added" benefits, and be reduced to more like colo providers, maybe offering 24/7 support as well.

That will be when the ubiquitous cloud truly arrives -- run on whatever provider in the sky, and as long as they run kubernetes you can run your workloads there.
Agreed. These Harryhausen-like creatures are every bit as menacing as the Kraken. I naively failed to realize the deadly complexity (genius) of the HIV virus. Well done piece.

Hi:
I build another netcat-based command line pastebin. Termbin.co is compatible with Termbin.com but Termbin.co can recognize lots of binary file and will auto add file extension. For example, upload a png file to termbin.co you can use cat simple_jpg.jpg| nc termbin.co 9999. and it will return the url: https://termbin.co/t4OZ/index.jpg . Could you have a test and leave a feedback at this post? :-)

"Bugs are worth more points if, once discovered, they are plausibly deniable as an innocent programming error."
Graduating from college (even if it's not a CS degree) at least still demonstrates the ability to complete something complex and long-duration.

Bootcamp grads (for me) are more likely to get a look in for project based roles where each project is measured in single digit numbers of weeks. For long projects or product roles, I'll somewhat favour the demonstrated ability of college graduates at sticking with and completing big things.

Not a "red flag" for me, but a reasonably strong signal.
Epsilon is not the smallest quantity that can be represented. Its the smallest amount that can be added to a number between 1 and 2. If its added to 2 the result is 2. We need to add 2 * Number.EPSILON to 2 to add anything. 4 * E to 4, 8 * E to 8, 16 * E to 16 etc.

That kind of equality test should be:

abs( a-b ) < Number.EPSILON * max( abs(a), abs(b) )

In practice I judge the scale of the quantization noise that may accrue and compare the difference to it.

It may also be possible to kind of caste precision away by adding a trick value. eg.

a + t == b + t

If a and b are positive, that is somewhat similar to:

abs( a-b ) < Number.EPSILON * t

That is a pretty low ratio in terms of over-subscription, on many cable networks you'd have 24 downstream Docsis channels @ 38Mbps usable per channel, for 912Mbps usable across all houses on said node. A single node often supports 500 homes, and that 912Mbps of capacity carries switched digital video, voice & data traffic.

Cable companies consider these high ratios to be quite embarrassing actually, as it shows how crummy their networks are: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31258251-Speed-Issues-Char...
Obviously, not everything on a drive is important to keep; in fact, I'd guess that maybe under 10% of a typical user's disk drive is data they would be impacted by if they lost it. Decrypting 100% of the data so that 10% of it is easier to recover at the cost of security seems like a bad idea. Information that would not really be considered 'confidential' could still be used to violate users privacy, including caches, cookies, password hashes, and so forth. In an era where mundane parties like border agents are malicious actors, this becomes more important to the average joe.

If we want to reduce pain points for average users, the best case scenario would be to have intuitive means to allow users to ensure their data is safe and secure, and handled with an appropriate level of privacy (i.e. Tax documents should not be public.) If you can't accomplish that, it feels like all you can do is go back and forth between bad trade-offs.
The bonds pay 5.3% of their $1000 face value in interest every year, or $53.

You can buy this bond for $890, so the effective interest rate is actually 53 / 890 = 5.96% per year.

The fact that the price of the bonds is unchanged indicates that Tesla's earnings report didn't cause any change in market expectations of the company's ability to repay the bonds in full.

The price could drop to, say, 79 cents on the dollar if there's a greater probability that Tesla goes bankrupt and the bonds won't be repaid.

Bond prices also fall when market interest rates increase since that $53 per year isn't as competitive if other investments yield more.

It has been a while since I have taken an accounting class, but I am pretty sure the deposits can't be recognized as revenue since they also count as a liability. They are only recognizable as revenue once that liability has been cleared, basically once Tesla has delivered the car. It would be like issuing a bond, a positive cash flow event that doesn't alter the company's revenue or total value.
