Ransom Demands and Frozen Computers: Hackers Hit Towns Across the U.S
That was my first reaction to. But it isn't clickbait as you ware already reading the article, you could of course argue it baits you into reading on.

As I see you can split the question/answer in two, first the anthropomorphising of the plane and the events that happened. And second, something I see a lot on sites like "Hack a day", seems to me like the need to add more to the story, because the journalist otherwise cannot justify publishing it as a story. As it would only be a summary of the events already documented in the sources.
Yup, pretty much. The machines are configured for a certain win percentage though, so the house always wins in the end.
What else are you supposed to do then? Hope you miracously match with them somewhere online?

If you like a woman, shouldn’t you approach her and start conversation?

I understand women get constantly harassed, I have sisters and I know this very well.

But I’m sure most women would be ok with a guy approaching them to strike conversation, as log as they are respectful and not breaking any boundaries set by the other party.
CyberSecurity – the core issue
Whilst it's nice that RDAP is being worked on what you've got there is very much jam tomorrow. It takes a powerful imagination to see the CA/B vote to allow RDAP (when it becomes available, which may be never for many TLDs) and interpret it as a death blow to DNSSEC, but I admit you do have such an imagination.

Your first point argues from an alleged fact, not in evidence, that "most CAs" don't obey the Baseline Requirements in respect to their requirement to use DNSSEC to avoid an on-path attacker replacing or removing CAA records. Do you have such evidence? As I said, this requirement caused CAs to spit feathers, but that's also true of e.g. record keeping requirements and CAA checking itself. One of the unexpected side benefits of Let's Encrypt at scale is that arguments go like this:

Big CA: This requirement is crazy, we issue a vast number of Web PKI certs, and the requirement would cause us to do X for most of those certs, that's just not technically feasible, the requirement must be removed.

Let's Encrypt: We do X for every single cert we issue. Big CA the logs show you issuing only 4% as many certs as us, are there hundreds of times more than you don't log?

Big CA: Um, er, oh, we just realised our single-threaded PHP program might be a bottleneck, we're investigating upgrading to PHP4 to work around that.

But then your second point argues the reverse, that CAs "can" do multi-perspective, and so even though they mostly don't we should pretend they all do. Then it jumps from this backwards argument to claiming all of the Ten (well, nine now) Blessed Methods are vulnerable to an on-path attacker "even if you use DNSSEC", when in fact several are not.

Try it, write down the Ten Blessed Methods as they stand today (yes there are currently nine), then mark whether an on-path attacker succeeds against this method when DNSSEC is in place

3.2.2.4.3, 3.2.2.4.7 and 3.2.2.4.12 are unaffected by an on-path attacker. 3.2.2.4.3 is out-of-band, which I'm sure won't bother a nation state adversary like the NSA, but is otherwise pretty good, 3.2.2.4.7 is in DNS itself, and so protected by DNSSEC, and 3.2.2.4.12 is a simple database lookup, just one that's only possible if your CA is also your registry/ registrar.
Not that I think that SPF is the ultimate solution (it is merely a thin layer of lipstick on the pig) but I don't agree with many of the assertion of your "spf is harmful" link.

- pre-delivery forwarding servers just need to be added to spf. If you use random third party smtp relays, then this is precisely what spf is trying to avoid.

- the way internal servers implement aliases is their problem, there is not necessarily a need to go through an smtp relay (my mail server doesn't)

- failover mail servers should check spf on incoming email and then have a trusted relationship with the primary server so that spf isn't enforced when the failover delivers to the primary (that's the way my mail server works)

- spf uses DNS. So what?

- ISP lock-in. If you control the domain/DNS entries, there is no lock in. If you don't, then you are already locked in anyway.

- doesn't allow dynamic IPs. I'd argue that 1) it is a good thing 2) it's not really the case, you can specify a domain in spf, and this domain can be a dyndns style domain with a short lived TTL resolving to your current dynamic ip. And in theory you could also dynamically update your spf as your ip changes with a short TTL (like a dyndns-style entry).

[edit] and actually what is going to kill you with a dynamic IP is not so much spf than the fact that the reverse dns of that IP won't resolve to your domain which is a big spam red flag for most smtp servers.
Not to advocate NZ, but you should consider any immigration plan is fraud averse first.
He was a former BASIC book author too

Hmm, I'm starting to see a pattern. Is it possible BASIC, plus lack of internet back in the day, plus attrocious books are the reasons for truning poeple into terrible programmers? I happen to know only a couple of seniors but without exception their code, no matter what language written in today, is horrible on all fronts. I used to think it was a lack of attention to detail, their lack of wanting to strive for even the tiniest bit of more than just 'good enough for tady'. Possibly stemming from lack of education and lack of continuous self-education. But maybe there's more to it. Maybe they were influenced by a bad book. And/or by a not-so-optimal language like BASIC.

That’s really strange coming from Louis CK himself.. wtf man.
This was an example used in my linear algebra class as soon as they started introducing the vector spaces in an abstract sense.

I think this post may still be too wedded to the idea of linear spaces and vectors being arrays of objects - specifically in insisting on decomposing functions like sin and cos to Taylor Series. In fact, you can have a vector space where, in addition to polynomial terms, there are also dimensions for sin(x), tan(x), sin(x - pi), e^x, etc. The fact that you can't enumerate these dimensions, or even describe the set of them until given a set of vectors you're trying to describe, doesn't keep this from being a vector space.
XLR is bipolar/differential. It sends +sig and -sig on the two conductors.

Any noise appears in both lines and is subtracted to zero, leaving 2 * sig.
"I pity any customer taking delivery of one of these cars. The quality will be shocking". I'm wondering what could affect the quality of the cars if they work under that structure. To me all these critics come from business analysts without imagination and pragmatism. I praise people that push boundaries of what's possible, go Tesla.
Your final comment doesn't really work out.

Yeah, by over-promising and hyping you could raise the price of your coin, but it doesn't mean your volume will rise as much. You cant just liquidate everything at once and get anything as close as what a simple Q * P calculation would do for you.

So that's why you work on your network, create value in it. Then later on the line, you become obscenely rich as your token's liquidity is good enough to live with forever.

That's what people calling Ponzi/scam are missing. The short-term profits are nothing compared to the LIFECHANGING profits of being the founder of a network protocol.
The sub-story about the Tesla is an example of one of the "other types of car giveaways" that is actually legitimate—not the telemarketing scam.
Maybe the property is the route to go - can it be commercial?

Remote hires not an option?

Tech startups seem to be hard to get people to take seriously, however solid the foundation. I've done a lot of consultancy for a UK company whose entire strategy has stalled for years because they can't/won't invest in building out a rewrite of their flagship product.

I've offered to build it out for zero up front cost, just cut me in on a slice of the pie if it sells. They won't even consider it, haven't even begun to discuss the size of the slice and have turned down other contractors trying to make the same offer previously. I'm not sure how the risk could be lower and in the meantime their competitors are booming.

And they're not government employees.
Even more amazing - these are part-time hobby projects.
Venezuelans mining bitcoin isn't a good way to solve their inflation issues, because bitcoin has lost its value much faster than the the Venezuelan Bolivar has lost value, at least the bolivar is significantly less volatile than bitcoin. That doesn't mean bitcoin can't be stable though.

I appreciate the thought-provoking examples :-)

> Humans find and reject "low rank" correlations all the time ... steak and cookies ...

Sure, but the appropriateness of a low rank approximation depends on what you want to predict. Eg: for predicting basketball success, {height, wingspan} might be a very useful "low rank" description, while for predicting obesity the relevant low rank description might be the body mass index (BMI) or something like it. Wingspan = chest width + 2 * arm length and BMI = weight/height^2 could be composite features "discovered" by such a model+inference toolkit.

> Conversely, some doctors have an encyclopedic knowledge of various ailments, and either memorize or infer from experience a particular ailment from a huge collection of possible ailments. If the number of possible ailments is large, their "understanding" is not low rank, it's the opposite.
That's exactly why I would not call that understanding, especially if they have to memorize a book full of ailments and symptoms. "Understanding" would entail a (causal) model of underlying physiological problems and the symptoms they give rise to, with a recipe for inferring in reverse.

> Low rank does not necessarily mean "understanding", it's just a local minimum in some function of a random variable.

I don't understand that statement at all.

PS: I don't have any particular affinity to neural networks over other ML models, and don't mean to escalate the hype :-)
Cool, another domain name to add to my list of disposable email services. Done.
Eventually there will be direct binding between WebAssembly and web APIs like that the DOM that will allow you to write performant web apps that circumvent JS entirely. There are already tools that https://webassembly.studio/ that making writing wasm-based apps a reality, albeit still with a binding layer that goes through JS.

However, such applications will still have the same constraints that drive the current JS ecosystem. As such, there's little reason to believe that frameworks like React, Angular, Vue.js, etc. won't have their wasm-based equivalents. And, if anything, I except more churn for quite a few years, as people use the freedom provided by wasm to build a new generation of frameworks in completely different languages. We may look back on the current era of web development as a relatively stable one compared to what's to come.

So if the current churn is what turns you off web development, I wouldn't bet on wasm being a salve.
And, here is an article how I created the simple game:

I also thought of that quote while reading the article, yet I disagree with Dijkstra.

I think an appropriately skilled developer would be able to write a useful application in BASIC in the same way that the same programmer would be able to write something useful in assembler.

I wouldn't want to write a large program in a language like that though, but I do think in the 80s programmers had to make do with what they had

Not in the slightest, I recall hearing about this on the "What can trump teach us about con-law" (constitutional law).

has anyone been able to implement this yet? I'd love to test it on my codebase (which is 15 years old and a monolith)
You're right, but that isn't the problem being solved. That problem would be present in a centralized solution as well.

This solution allows the same benefit of having a MONOPOLIZED SOLUTION for tracking supply chain, without the negatives of Monopoly taking monopoly profits.

Do you get it now?
> "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".

This kind of motivation has arguably always been about people misunderstanding economics. In this particular quote: government bailouts are not a function of the exact mechanisms of the currency, but of whether you elect politicians that want to keep banks in check or not. Even if everybody used Bitcoin, a certain type of politician would still be tempted to do bank bailouts.

> - has a limit on maximum amount of currency that can exist (so it is free of inflation)

And this is actually an anti-feature.

It should be obvious that relative prices need to be able to adjust in order for markets to function well, and if you look at economic history without ideological blinders, it becomes clear that there are many important markets in which absolute prices move up more easily than they move down, notably but not only wages and salaries.[0]

Having a modest amount of inflation means that the absolute price that you as a seller can earn must increase if you want your relative price to be stable - a kind of economic Red Queen hypothesis. This makes it easier for relative prices to adjust downwards, which is good for the functioning of markets.

The economics behind Bitcoin has always been a bad idea.

[0] There are good reasons for this. In order to improve your financial position, you have to reduce your monetary outflows or increase your monetary incomes. The amount of effort you spend is proportional to the number of contracts you negotiate, not to the value of those contracts. So if you have many monetary outflows, but comparatively fewer (but larger) monetary incomes, then you'll rationally focus your efforts on increasing those incomes (or fighting against decreases of those incomes). Almost every household, and many companies, are in the position of having fewer incomes than outflows, so they all have an incentive to fight relatively harder against price decreases on their income. Which has the net effect that absolute prices move upwards more easily than they move downwards.

Perhaps fixing STARTTLS is one of those problems where the solution adds even more problems (and moving parts).

BTW, what ever happened to SMTP on a dedicated TLS port (465)? Why did it get deprecated?
Exactly.

I fail to see how having to understand the internals of Linux containers and writing custom C programs is easier than writing a Dockerfile and running docker build.
Some of these primitive people walked across continents and sailed across oceans using only very simple tools.

Let's unpack my statement because it might have been too dense.

1. Almost all websites can run on a single dedicated server.

2. This is true for even something as big as Stackexchange which most sites are not.

3. If your site is indeed smaller than SE then that server is likely to be a few hundred dollars a month.

Also: getting a 512GB RAM server for 5-700 USD or so is definitely possible these days. But, again, most sites won't need anywhere near that. Based not only on information and belief ;) but first hand experience I sincerely doubt most sites would need more than 64GB.

$1B is way too much for a cryptocurrency that only has a testnet. I'm not dismissing their tech, they have more information in their technical faq [1], they're basically promissing a better consensus protocol based on sharding that it's supposed to solve the scalability issues that currently exist in ethereum, but whether this is vaporware it remains to be seen. Implementation is far from complete, they don't seem to even allow people to run public nodes [2]

While these things were discovered by kiwis, their place of discovery was the UK or the US.

> Sadly there is no standard replacement that is widely accepted.

True, but practically: when having access to BSD extensions, strl* are used. If only C standard is available, snprintf is preferred. I have seen C libs that will check for strl* availability, and if not, reimplement them using snprintf.

So for portability, snprintf is the way to go. For correctness, and pushing for their extended use, strl* is nice.
This confuses me a little. Many things seem to be pointing towards inflation - worsening global trade climate, high employment, knowledge that economic difficulty will be met with printing etc. But if the market expects inflation then shouldn't long term rates be higher to offset the expected inflation?

When I was a kid -- I'm in Australia -- we'd regularly get computer line-printed Readers Digest Sweepstakes out of the blue -- we lived in a farm in a rural area and this was the 1960s.

The sweepstakes often made claims that "we have invested $1.34 in your name..." It was many years before I realised that they really meant "we have spent $1.34 buying your name and address..."
This is lame though to be fair to NZ I've come across similar requirements in other countries too.

Over the years I've happened to be invited to discussions with policy makers in both The Netherlands (2013) and Australia (2016) and as far as I know they came up with similar policies. Further back I recall taking a look at Germany (~2012) and it was also onerous.

The main takeaway I had was that constructing a set of fair requirements that can be effectively assessed/enforced is nigh impossible. Entrepreneurs should be vocal and advocate for changes that improve the system but ultimately play the cards that are dealt and stay focussed on the company mission.

My mental model: Neural networks are for gut decisions. This fits their application domain quite well imho.

Gut decisions are quick. You look at a picture and decide its a dog quicker than you can say it. Executing a neural net is feasible even on mobile devices on battery.

Good gut decisions require experience/training. You must train extensively to be good and your training data must be good. An example from "Thinking, Fast and Slow": Experienced stock traders often claim to have a gut feeling, but it is bogus because their training data is bogus (good decisions lead to bad outcomes and vice versa). In contrast, experienced firefighters have a gut feeling if it safe to enter a burning house. This works in practice. The observe stuff about the environment reliably without being able to point them out consciously.

Gut decisions are not about planning or knowledge. This requires different AI techniques than neural nets and intuitively shows their shortcomings.
There already is, see https://github.com/DenisKolodin/yew for example.

The "put Rust in your JS" workflow is the first one the working group is focusing on; once that's awesome, other ones will get some work as well.
Maybe, but this post is to tell you that such use cases are explicitly not the focus of Rust and WebAssembly working group.
Be careful when using knowledge from this post. These are special cases, not the general rules of differentiaton (or calculus).

For example, for multi variable calculus, the results would be very different.

Let's take the example of W.X

d/dx (W.X) = X.d/dx(W) + W.d/dx(X)

since W is not dependent on x, the first term is zero and we get the answer the author got.

Before drawing conclusions from the post, please remember the assumptions the author has taken.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with flavour enhancers. As for the other things, you are varying degrees of correct (for example, it is easy to eat too much salt but not if what you eat in a day is made by you otherwise). The sugar is obviously not ideal if you're going for low carb, but thankfully you can check this by reading the ingredients list and nutritional info. There are no mysterious things going on here.
