Regrettably, in the world as it is, we need--extraordinarily--competent people working on our weapons of mass destruction, too (in particular, nuclear command and control). Not a job I'd want, and not one I'm happy exists, but one I'm sure grateful someone is doing.
Ah ok, so I agree that they didn't actively interfere with the voting process itself, however there still appears to have been collision between the trump campaign and foreign agents, which is illegal and is what the Mueller probe is looking into.

America's self-driving car race speeds up
No. It slows you down just getting rich as well. If I want to make €5 or €10m and retire, it's inefficient to pay a lot of tax if you can legally get around it.

It's one thing to pay on gains you make after you've gotten rich, i.e. if you're making 5% a year on €10m, than on the initial capital you're building up.
For example, for google.com, you can typically make only around 300 requests per day, and if you reach this limit, you will see a CAPTCHA instead of search results.

300 is pretty easy to achieve if you're "Googling hard enough" (make 5 slightly different queries, go through the 20 pages of results it's willing to show you, repeat 3 times...), and I've seen it trigger far before that if you are searching for more obscure things. It seems almost hostile to those searching for IC part numbers, specific and very exact phrases, and just "non mainstream" content in general.

How sad it is then, that we are told and have internalised the notion that we should use search engines like Google to find things, and yet it prevents us from "trying too hard" to find what we're looking for...
Clicking the link to Microsoft's site results in a 404 error. They may have taken it down already... Plus this article is from January.
PCIe 3.0 does not have a very high transaction cost. The encoding overhead is just 1.5%, and the protocol is quite simple for the primary communication (there's a bunch of "extras" like retransmits and stuff, but that's not important here).

I can say that the PCIe x16 cards we develop at work have no problem reaching the theoretical maximum, transmitting around 15GB/s worth of payload data (e.g. our 2x100Gb/s NIC with one port pushing 100Gb/s in both directions, and another a few tens of Gb/s in both directions). We don't make cards smaller than x8, so I can't give measured numbers there, but Intel should have no problem transmitting ~4GB/s on that x4.

NVMe surely has an overhead, but this overhead is far from interesting, unless you are implying that the overhead eats a whopping 35% of the available bandwidth. Likewise, if Intel had hit a PCIe/NVMe bottle-neck, going to up x8 would not not have been difficult in any way (x16 is more annoying, though).

The performance has either been restricted by the flash itself, or by the controller—not by the interface. The numbers are also small enough that the software side shouldn't be a problem yet. Attaching to the memory bus minimizes penalties that are unlikely to be a bottle-neck.
I see people on this thread suggesting that it's the culture in many countries in continental Europe, for example, against having identifiable photos of them posted without permission. I'd suggest that there are probably billions of such photos online on Facebook, Flickr, and countless news sites, blogs, etc. I know I've posted plenty of them even just myself.

I suppose you can object and campaign for the EU to setup its own Great Firewall or something along those lines and only allow companies to operate within its borders which adhere to stringent rules around posted imagery. Good luck with that.
> One man owning 10 robots will pay less SS than 10 workers.

That can be changed. The difficulty is more related to corruption and lobbying than any economical constrain.

But, you are right. If nothing changes on how taxes are collected, or if it continues changing against social wellfare then it is a problem.
Possibly more important than any practical implications of GitHub being closed source is the simple fact that relying so intimately on a closed source product would be a really bad look for them, on account of what the first letter in GNOME stands for.
Eh, government contracts come with all sorts of red tape that make that "lucrative" contract not so good once all the hidden costs are considered.
> You could structure social security as a tax on capital, but that isn't how it currently works.

Yes. 100% true. I just mean that it can be changed. It is not an economic constraint, but it is the current situation.
The single easiest way to create terrorists is to invade another country. Terrorism is a law enforcement problem, it is not a military problem.

Not if you're not comfortable giving up so many of your internet activity to Google but as others have pointed out there are alternatives to spread.
There's a lot of great advice in that post, but too much to digest in one pass.

The author is right-- anyone can become rich, if they simply spend less than they earn and invest it for the long run. It's been proven over and over again.
You can try Airfly (haven't used it, don't work for them)

You seem to be missing the point. Markets were and possibly still are widely considered weak-form efficient. This is a disproof of that conjecture by showing an inherent contradiction between widely believed properties, ie. P!=NP and markets are weak-form efficient, therefore at least one of them is false.

Edit: "Does P=NP imply efficiency? Not at all." This isn't even a claim of the paper. The paper is claiming the opposite, that market efficiency is true only if P=NP.
At a certain point you're just tired of that and want to excuse yourself and go home.
> it's easy to see that they are talking about the money they had available after meeting their needs

And the point was that many people do not have money available after meeting their needs.
This has been a comedy of errors. People have given me a lot of grief for being down on cloudflare over the past year but trouble sure does seem to follow them around doesn't it.

They launch these DNS services to much hype and hoopla and 3 weeks later they're down. I'm not surprised at all.

Why does anyone throw their faith behind these gigantic corporations with bad track records? Just because they're large? Because they have a lot of money? This trend towards foolishness is bizarre to me. Recognizing these people (cloudflares, googles, facebooks, so on and so forth) for what they are is a necessary trait for survival.
Consider me ignorant in this topic, but doesn't coal throughput beat out Solar or Wind? As far as I know you can always burn coal where as wind and solar are limited by external factors.
RGPD has a max fine of 4% of world revenue exactly because the previous maximum fine was a joke to google and facebook who just paid and went about their day.

Literally every businessman who lives in Monaco. Most aren't very well known, however.

If you make sure, for example, your intellectual rights (if we're talking a software company) aren't held in a country with a super high corporate tax rate, that would be a good start.
The interesting test is whether anyone can usefully predict "Make something people want".

Because FB has said they will not roll out the data policies in Europe to the rest of the world.
The commenter didn't say that.

They were talking about the people (of whom I've been one, earlier in life), who have been privileged enough to have earned a lot of money but wasted it.
Because there is no encryption, other devices along the way might collect (or even block or change) this data too.

...which is sometimes very desirable[1][2][3]. I get the whole "more security!" movement, but also feel like it's just contributing to turning general-purpose computers into locked-down media consumption devices.

Individual comments effectively get silenced (or at least buried) by downvoting, changing the account you post with won't change that. You can get an account shadowbanned however which does reduce the visibility of all its comments but that's a different issue, I don't think you can trigger a shadowban automatically by downvotes alone (or maybe only in extreme cases).

They are completely independent protocols, with their own issues in this area.

For the DNS, the specification for DNS over TLS is almost trivial. DNS over HTTPS is a bit more tricky because their are more possibilities, interactions with HTTPS, etc. But still not very hard from a protocol point of view.

Operationally, DNS over TLS/HTTPS is mostly unknown. So it will take quite a bit of time before it is well know how to actually run that as a service at scale.

Encrypting the SNI in TLS is mostly the other way around. Fixing that has significant impact on the protocol.

There is no point in making very complex changes in TLS, which is already a tricky protocol without the DNS community committing to provide DNS over TLS/HTTPS at scale.

At the same time, securing traffic between a DNS stub resolver and the recursive resolver prevents are lot of middle box issues (but also creates a completely new set of issues). So it is worth deploying the even if TLS still leaks the SNI.

The root of "null is a mistake" isn't that null is a mistake, it's that it's a mistake to allow null into a type system in such a way that it can cause non-compile-time type errors.

So Julia is typed ( I think) but it's not a mistake in any way to have null in a dynamic language by this argument.

Null is a thing and if you don't have it you reinvent it, it's the typesystem breaking that's the problem, maybe monads effectively have nulls it's just that they then get protected by the typesystem.
don't be so flippant. That's not at all what I was saying.

Definitely agreed.

For our current world conditions to hold stable it is important that at least one of our rich, basically politically aligned western countries has a worldwide military force. The US military has gone way past merely that point, however, and that is the point at which this starts getting "evil".
it sucks that companies have this tendency to become nasty business
Which, yikes

Ironically enough, local governments used to be the platform of the past. Local businesses and houses would pay taxes so that roads and police would be maintained. Lives would be lived and business would be done.

Now the town just wants to overtax and overregulate certain things (speed cameras), just like how Amazon has a policy of usually siding with the buyer unless the stars allign
Yes, I understood your point. My point is that it is tiresome to bring it up anytime and every time someone makes a comment about saving money. They weren't being dismissive, they were replying in context (people that save their way to riches sort of obviously have had money that fits into the 'savable' category).

Dad with two pre-teen kids here. The order of apps by most time spent is the following: YouTube (by far), Netflix and then for my older one, Snapchat, Music.ly with some random Instagram. As they get older, I see usage of Snapchat and Instagram increasing. Neither of my kids have Facebook accounts or want FB accounts (yay!)

Activities on YT: Slime videos, Minecraft videos, and lots of "pretty young girls doing stuff" (crafting, lifehacks etc.) They don't comment, and despite my repeated encouragement, don't really publish their own videos.

What YC tries to predict is whether the founders are capable of making something people want, not whether the product they pitch in the application process is already something people want.

They are just looking for founders who can follow the build+release+test+repeat cycle as quickly and effectively as possible, and their claim is that if founders can do that really well in a large, valuable market, they will find success.
I'm in to DOS and 8-bit micro era computing, so in that category:

LGR (aka Lazy Game Reviews)

The 8-Bit Guy

Nostalgia Nerd

RetroManCave

I'm specifically in love with the techniques used by games in that era, and GameHut has some interesting explanations of how he and other developers pulled off some of the tricks they did on the Genesis and Saturn. I really wish there were more channels doing things like that.

Ben Eater has an interesting series on building a computer from ICs.

ScottManley plays a whole lot of Kerbal Space Program and talks about rocket science.

I also watch a few LPers: ChipCheezumLPs, StrawHatNo, MenDrinkinCoffee. They're just interesting and/or funny. I'd dig an informative and exclusively DOS/8-bit micro era LPer I'd think.

Is it just me, or is Youtube completely terrible about discoverability and recommendations? It only seems to recommend me things I've already watched or people who yell a lot.
You don't have to be strongly against something just because it's not as important to you. Telegram is a chat that has a huge number of security aware users. If they can't update, no matter the reason, the users need to go somewhere else. That doesn't necessarily mean that they would switch from Apple to Android, though. So the price for Apple might be small.

So for Apple that is either a good way to get rid of an unwanted app, or a way to do a favor for a competitor, or a way to put pressure on Telegram developers to do something that the devs haven't done yet for some reason (e.g. give access to user data).

Now I'm not saying that Apple does anything like that. It couldn't be proven by simple people like us anyways. I'm just providing possible explanations for what's maybe going on and why it might happen. It is for instance just as possible that Telegram is not updating themselves, because they want to achieve some kind of hidden agenda, e.g. in a subgroup of people they care about users would very much be willing to switch phones just to stay with their secure chat app and they might have a better deal with Google than they have with Apple. Nothing can be said for sure without insider information.
That is assuming the raw materials cost $0 and there is no value to assuming the risk of the sales price.

If you pay the worker $800, but it turns out the market only values the widget at $500, does the worker return the difference? Usually not.

If you are not providing any value, why is the worker not just cutting you out of the deal and making and selling widgets directly?
Important for intrusion detection in locked-down enterprise environments, too. But you can still inspect TLS handshakes, it's just a lot more work...
so, there's a concurrent post about how 1.1.1.1 had an outage. Does that mean web browsing won't work if that happens again? If not, does that mean it will fallback to unencrypted DNS if 1.1.1.1 is blocked?

Making this a default means that Firefox users all bypass censorship in several countries, what do they expect to happen as a result of it? Firefox blocked? 1.1.1.1 blocked?

Google is a multi-national company. Why should it have allegiance to the US? Just because it was founded and has headquarters somewhere doesn't mean that it needs to be loyal to that place. Look at how quickly Banco Sabadell and CaixaBank moved out of Catalonia after the separatist movement started causing ructions. Do you think that staying on Trump's side is in the best interest of a multi-national?

Don't forget, there's another side to building weapons: the better your weapons, the lower your threshold for starting a war. AI weapons are especially dangerous: they permit politicians to start wars without risking citizen's lives, thus reducing the natural incentive in democracies to avoid war. Now put that power in the reins of Trump. Does it sound good?

When I watched the first of the new Star Wars movies, I felt pretty much the same. It was not bad as such, but it felt so derivative. More so, I felt that it was not derivative for a lack of imagination, but because the creators were playing it safe, deliberately avoiding any deviation from a proven recipe.

And given that Walt Disney now owns the franchise, I have no expectation that any future movies set in the Star Wars universe will be any different. Which is a little sad, because the Star Wars universe is such a great backdrop to tell all kinds of interesting stories.
You can't wiretap the DNS and obtain data about all site visits from there. That's really quite nice.

It still means that your ISP or a wiretap on your own internet pipe can check your browsing activity by monitoring SNI's, but then again, they can also figure that out for a lot of sites by just checking the IP.

Then you could argue that all sites should use CDNs to hide this, but then you open the argument of whether the internet should be centralized or decentralized.

Encrypted SNI would be nice, but are tricky (wouldn't work well in multi-tenant setups), and those that can sniff the SNI probably know where you were going anyway.
I got it from here: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/

It works flawlessly. I just dropped it (26.1) in on top of my existing setup and had to do nothing else and I'm working away on it right now.

When I was downloading at least, I had to download it and the dependencies separately. The README says there should be a unified zip-file but it wasn't there at the time.

Had some issues with Windows 10 refusing to merge the directories from the deps package so had to drop to a cygwin shell but it actually worked quite well even without the deps.

In theory that can be solved with the best of both worlds: have the runtime and JIT in the final binary. That way you still get easy deployment with 1 big file and high performance after the JIT warms up, which should be fast.
