You aren't disagreeing with parent, who said that the 2-3B users don't have HD-capable connections. The parent is saying that the industry should try delivering SD-quality video before hand-waving about near-infinitely compressible HD-video.

For example, one solution for low-bandwidth environments is to edge-cache it (farther toward the real edge than "local ISP") and then spread it locally via peer-to-peer short-distance radio (wifi, bluetooth, local cellular). This is not a 100x data compression challenge; it's a local delivery infrastructure challenge.

This is a web browser with W3 tools built-in. It's nothing you can't do without Chrome/Firefox + Metamask (or Coinbase's future Metamask competitor). I do think it's a good idea, because you can reduce friction and polish the UI by integrating everything, but in the long run, if crypto is successful, I really think Firefox and Chrome will just adopt all these W3 technologies natively. It will be hard to compete.

Guess you shouldn't read about what synthetic aperture radar systems have been able to do for decades... you can actually make a ghetto radar capable of capturing the data used for this demo with about $350 (in 2012) in materials. But don't worry too much. Their limitations section states that "the operating distance of a radio is dependent on its transmission power" so their system only works reliably up to 40 feet, which is true, but the dominating factor is simply distance, because any signal you get back will be attenuated proportional to 1/r^4. Pumping up the transmitted power to compensate takes a lot of energy that quickly gets you into needing operating licenses. Not to mention moving to using different frequencies that can give higher resolution of whatever you're imaging...

There's also the aspect that a government-run program can be subsidized so that those who can't afford it can still use it.

Private entities are far less likely to provide that on their own. And when government starts subsidizing business or giving tax cuts for behavior, then things get wonky, too. Like when the company pockets the money, and doesn't provide the service. Like what happened with broadband:

Interesting - you're right, I used to read a lot when I was younger. I'm not sure I read what everybody would necessarily call "literature" - mostly scifi and fantasy novels - but I did read quite a bit more fiction then than I have in the past 20 years or so. Now when I read, it's almost always a programming book of some sort.
In terms of passive signal blocking, I wonder if the chickenwire mesh that holds exterior stucco in place could serve as an effective Faraday cage? Or aluminum siding? I'm sure the metal roof and walls of a modular storage building would.

Most businesses use metal studs to support interior walls, though I doubt their ~2 foot spacing would block wifi or cellular RF.

In terms of active cellular jamming, that should be pretty easy to detect -- by standing in an outside doorway where you'd be exposed to inside AND outside signals, and then checking if your cellular bars fade out. That should indicate that you've been exposed to an internal jamming signal, since the external signal should still remain.

not really, Docker (and similar containerization technologies) provide a restricted environment for the downloaded code to execute in (by default, it is possible for users to remove the restrictions)

Assuming a default Docker engine install, and no options passed as part of the run, an attacker could DoS the box most likely, and may be able to intercept traffic on the Docker bridge network (although that's not a trivial thing to pull off), but they're unlikely (absent an exploitable Linux kernel flaw) to be able to easily compromise the underlying host.
I am curious what kind of workload is prompting you to want this. I've only ever seen stack overflows from predictable recursive errors, which is generally a pretty shallow bug.

Second observation: LuaJIT might be the better platform to pursue this approach. Since the tracer is already on, stack overflows could potentially be another cold path that gets handled on spill; performance impact could be minimal, perhaps none if existing trace guards can be used.
The article doesn't provide any argument to support the ridiculous headline.

Before Comcast had a punitive financial threshold they used to throttle the heaviest users. Now they simply charge those users, while presumably the majority of people are cognizant that they should use some discretion to avoid the fees.

Another user opines "it’s still limited by your maximum throughput and the number of days in a month" and this is an argument that seriously rubs me the wrong way because it's effectively a tragedy of the commons type argument -- I love having blistering fast internet when I need to download something, etc. But I realize I don't have a committed 500Mbps across the internet, and not far from me it's a shared resource.

And history is filled with examples of people who persevered through all kinds of calamity. We're a resourceful bunch. And it'll be easier for your children to face the future together than for your child to face it alone.
Throttling/deprio only makes sense when your network sucks or you are spectrum constrained (as in the case for mobile isp's).

Comcast could make the argument when they were overprovisioning their nodes like crazy the network sucked, but higher order modulation and more channels in newer DOCSIS standards, fiber being run everywhere to nodes has really improved the situation.

Less of a cash grab, more of a bandaid to handle misallocated resources.

The final argument could have been made for peering costs, but Comcast is really big now, so I doubt they have to pay much if anything for transit.

Actually, that is not strictly so [1]. Starting in 2.5, they are requiring AES-NI instructions. I am a bit irritated with that as I bought one of their "official" routers to support them (The one based on the PC Engine APU2) and I use it as a home router, so I really don't need that support.

You're completely ignoring the time dilation effects of relativity. From the perspective of a fast moving spaceship, the distance between stars contracts, and from the perspective of an outside observer, the time experienced in the spaceship slows down. This is why I believe that interstellar travel will be feasible, although creating any sort of empire will be impossible. Here's a quote from the Wikipedia article on time dilation:

"Theoretically, time dilation would make it possible for passengers in a fast-moving vehicle to advance further into the future in a short period of their own time. For sufficiently high speeds, the effect is dramatic.[2] For example, one year of travel might correspond to ten years on Earth. Indeed, a constant 1 g acceleration would permit humans to travel through the entire known Universe in one human lifetime.[12] Space travelers could then return to Earth billions of years in the future. A scenario based on this idea was presented in the novel Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle, and the Orion Project has been an attempt toward this idea."

Could it be that they had repeater antennas before, but after the LTE upgrades, they either declined to renew the repeater leases in favor of wifi+tracking or perhaps the carriers didn't want to pay for hosting repeaters?

> Bitcoin consumes as much power globally as a single large power plant, and roughly 10% of the world's data centers

Well first of all, according to your own blog post, it is not as much power as a single large power plant, but as much power as the single largest power plant in the entire US. And thats just an estimate. It potentially uses twice that amount.

And 10% of the power of all the worlds data centers is absolutely bonkers. That isn't a small number, its spectacularly large.

And all of this for something that has yet to be adopted by 99.9% of the people on the planet.

Since Coinbase fees dominate mining rewards, each halving event also halves the equilibrium energy consumption. Since mining is speculative and capital intensive, you don't see a concomitant jump in hash rate, but the overall effect is obvious.

In other words, it's worth remembering that mining is currently massively subsidized through inflation, and as such future market dynamics must account for this.
I have one of those as well. As a word of caution, they are dropping support for that in 2.5 [1]. Starting in 2.5, they are requiring AES-NI instructions (like I said in my other post, I am a bit irritated they did that, especially when that is a requirement for something I do not need).

The OP also is not a valid substitution for "most" (by what metric, anyway?) uses of bit packing.

All taxing and subsidization is distortionary; but some methods are less distortionary than others. Imposing a tax on "everybody" and using it to pay for a public service dampens economic activity, but at least doesn't distort one industry relative to another. Imposing special, industry-specific taxes, however, dampens demand and investment in that industry relative to the rest of the economy.

Take tobacco taxes, for example. We put special taxes on tobacco because we don't want people to smoke, and we want to discourage people from smoking. Taxing tobacco effectively raises prices, which reduces demand. Various governments employ similar taxes to discourage things like soda, sugary foods, etc. This is a well-understood concept: you put extra taxes on things you want to discourage (relative to the rest of the economy).

Paying for rural telecom by putting a special tax on telecom service achieves exactly the same effect. It increases the price of service, reducing demand and reducing investment (relative to the rest of the economy, which does not bear that tax). But in theory, telecom infrastructure is something we want to encourage, not discourage.

It's even worse when you impose a general public obligation on individual service providers. For example, instead of paying for universal healthcare with general tax dollars, you could simply direct hospitals to treat poor people for free. Nobody does that--they pay for the broad public benefit with equally broad public taxes. But we do it for telecom--we tell companies that in order to be allowed to offer any service in a city, they must shoulder the burden of building out infrastructure even to neighborhoods where few people could afford to subscribe (i.e., neighborhoods that can only be served at a loss). That essentially makes it impossible to have a "minimally viable ISP." You can't compete with an incumbent by stealing away customers neighborhood-by-neighborhood. If the government simply let companies build infrastructure where it was profitable, and built subsidized infrastructure itself using general tax dollars where it was not, you could have that sort of competition.

Comcast has been playing the long game with the data caps. They know that everyone's needs will increase over time and we'll move from a cap that affects few people to one that affects most people. The cap will never increase however. What will increase is ways for Comcast to monetize the cap. Not like anyone has a choice, right?

Lol, this is a good way to waste a bunch of money.
Therapy wasn't for me. I had a hard time opening up myself to complete strangers. Moreover, you need a lot of sessions to make a difference, which equates to a ton of money. So for years I have been taking meds, which general doctors are happy to prescribe.

Recently I got completely off of it. I know my body well enough to know that I can, so I did. I did it because I was unhappy with how many side effects it had, while not really making me happier... just more level I suppose. I still lacked a desire to do things that I used to love while on meds.

I find that two things really shape how well I feel. 1) sleep. Lots of it, and good quality too. 2) exercise. It helps to have exerted a lot of energy so that sleep is better. If I haven't exercised for that day sleep will be hard which makes more more depressed and work less effectively the next day.

Like others have mentioned, you need to find a therapist that clicks with you.

Prioritize your health over your work. Work 8 hours and no more. If project might get delayed then so be it. Your PM will have to allocate more resources or fire you. Have enough money saved up so that even if you get fired you aren't screwed. If your stress isn't caused by work, then something else, but since you are asking on HN I suppose it is related to work, and the isolation that it brings.

For 100 MBit/s firewall all you need is Raspberry PI. Most people’s WAN connection is probably less than that. And if you need gigabit then there’s still plenty of options, anything from ODROID-C to 10W Goldmont, the latter a little expensive but it can double as HTPC etc. Idk how any of those work with BSDs but they work fine on Linux.

Also the nic.cz people have a neat new product[1]. It’s really cool, but I think still too pricey.

What most of the tutorials are usually missing is versioning and schema hygiene. I am building APIs for last 6(?) years and in graphql there are no clean way to have different versions (intentionally) and after only half year of rapid iteration over ideas in my startup our scheme became a mess.
