I count myself lucky to have discovered telnet enabled BBS's shortly after becoming interested in computers. It may not have had all the nostalgia of dialing in with a modem the way I have heard others mention but I was still fairly young and broadband was already replacing dial-up in the early-mid 2000's. Discovering these telnet BBS's felt like I as a young know-nothing had found some strange seedy underbelly to the internet and I was hooked. Then I was introduced to the Discworld MUD and I think I spent months lost in this imagination driven labyrinth of text. On the other hand it may have ruined, at least a little, much of modern gaming for me as it is hard to replace the fantastical places from ones own imagination with a spoon fed world of high resolution graphics. At least I still have Cataclysm:DDA in all of its ascii goodness to meet me in the middle. Good read, thanks for sharing.

Mine isn't though.. emails just sit there (on the server or in the mbox) until I 'pull' (handle) them. =)
What about including data from an actual database? Having a union of data from, say, a rest api and data I have in my database would be really neat.
> ...the company is also working to apply its self-driving system to three other areas, including logistics (so trucking)...

This whole 'disenfranchised underclass' thing that America is struggling with will get considerably worse when automation turns all the truck drivers and their families out onto the street.
No it doesn’t only serve them...it also serves consumers and the general public.

Licenses, safety standards of vehicles, insurance, rules and regulations of the road. Yes, these things do make the barrier to entry more difficult, but they also serve the public good.

Any time you see a car just stopped in the middle of the road with it’s hazards on odds are it’s a Uber driver. I can’t tell you how often I encounter dangerously hazardous Uber pick ups and drop offs that violate the law, because these drivers have no training.

And just as quickly as Uber was happy to violate and break laws to gain their market share and become the industry incumbent, they too are now spending millions on lobbying efforts to reinstate all the same regulatory frameworks (licenses, insurance, vehicle standards) to close the door behind them.
So how does this not end up being all porn and nazis?

>same query within you tube is handled by as many computers as it would have been in your DHT.

For the poster I responded to, and the topic of this thread (Peertube), decentralized means WAN (wide area network) and not LAN (local area network).

(I noticed you substituted "decentralized" with "distributed" which muddies up the discussion. The poster asking the question and my response used "decentralized".)

>because of the protocol stocks[sic] in common usage on the network, not really a property of distributed systems in and of themselves.

The overhead of network latency and multiple round trips is absolutely a property of decentralized systems. It's technically impossible to invent a protocol that can query thousands of home-based nodes to return a result that's as fast as a centralized system such as Youtube.

For the purposes of this particular thread, the "distributed network" means something like PeerTube with home nodes over ISP networks. We're not talking about the "distributed network" of 10,000 computers within Google and Facebook datacenters.

[To downvoters, please point out the technical flaw or show a protocol stack that removes ISP latency and round trips that makes it equivalent network performance to Youtube as
tathougies suggests.]

James Bridle on why technology is creating a new dark age
The magic sauce would be CAA. This is under the assumption that all publicly trusted CAs respect CAA and have no bypass bugs (CAs probably aren't ... too far off target) and that they properly validate DNSSEC (good luck with that, I don't think there's even consensus on what the Baseline Requirements consider compliant).

Anyway, in this mostly hypothetical world where all of that works as intended, you could use a CAA record with just one or two CAs with which you have some kind of contractual relationship requiring out-of-band verification. Alternatively (and, IMO, preferable, since the controls are technical), you can use the ACME CAA extension[1] to lock down the validation methods to just DNS-based ones, or bind the the whole validation flow to a key. Let's Encrypt is working on this currently[2].

There's more to safety statistics than just the mortality rate. We should be able to look at frequency and severity of non-fatal accidents too. Those happen a lot more often.

For example, accidents that occur at 35 MPH or less are much less likely to result in a fatality or major injury, due to the amount of kinetic energy that a human body can safely dissipate. So if Google cars have even slightly better braking or speed control, you're going to see an improvement. Looking at the average speed at which accidents occur would be useful information.
Agreed, however you have to take context into account. Python 2 didn't always have a bool type (granted, already a mistake), before it was introduced int was used instead. Making bool a subclass of int made it possible to use it even in combination with earlier code, which made adopting it trivial.

If bool wouldn't be a subclass of int, some projects probably would still be using int instead of bool.

Show HN: Believability AI – Trust the Internet Again
Eh, there's a balance to be struck, and that's obvious to anyone that's seriously thought about this issue.

There's no shortage of specious ideas. From outright quackery, the naive, or the simply misguided, there are countless ways to waste a lot of time and money on ideas that will lead nowhere. Especially when all you're guided by is intuition.

That's not to say that intuition isn't valuable; rather, intuition shouldn't be the only guiding principle. If an idea is 'real' in the sense that it will produce substantive research findings, it's reasonable to expect some kind of evidence for this. Maybe you're trying to show that A -> D. Well, showing a bit about B or C can go a long way to convincing people it's worth looking at the link between A and D.

The counter-argument is that it's possible there is not B or C, that a large and courageous leap is required to get to D. That's indeed possible, and arguably has been demonstrated with some famous results. But it doesn't follow that you simply must take everyone's giant leaps seriously and give them funding.

Ultimately, we go by proxies. If A -> D is required, well, at least show us that you got from A to B in some other issue. Give us evidence, however imprecise, that you might be that 1 in a 1,000 (or 1,000,000?) leaper that lands somewhere successfully.

So yes, there's an art to knowing when an idea is 'ripe' for a wider audience, and when it's time to stake your career on it. There's no reason you can't work on something in the background or during a sabbatical. The notion that 'academic incrementalism' is so destructive is a tenuous one, and certainly isn't being demonstrated here. To argue this is to say that Dixon would have been successful, if only he had gotten this or that position. Yet is appears that his approach was the issue, not financial or departmental support. I'd argue that the academic system correctly identified that his idea wasn't ready yet. Now that some demonstrable progress is being made, even if it falls far short of 'D', it's attracting attention and enthusiasm.

Finally, the notion that academia produces no actual research is farcical.

It can be run with a single graphics device.

Just SSH in, then after you've done the other configurations and added the GPU's PCI ids to vfio-pci, create the VM with virsh, attaching the GPU. Run "virsh autostart [vmname]", and it'll spawn automatically at each boot.

If you need a host with graphics, you can always unbind the GPU from the host and allow it to be re-attached to VMs if you don't need a headless hypervisor. I know I've seen a few small bash scripts on github for reference.

Of course, a good response to Murray's argument is that if they'd waited a bit longer and released the game with the promised features intact (or just released it as is, without lying) then the good PR would have gotten them a lot more sales and the same extra features they're adding now could have been added anyway. How many people didn't buy the game because they realised they were being lied to? How many of those who did buy No Man's Sky will ever buy another game from Murray and his studio?

The business logic doesn't hold up well here.
tl;dr SSRF is server side request forgery, where you can gain access to private resources by convincing privledged servers to make requests for you.

As a somewhat partial astrophysicist, remembering the increasing scarcity of helium on Earth is always amusing. It's the second most abundant element in the universe, after all. It's just that when you are near a star, light elements are easily heated and move away quickly towards the oort cloud and interstellar space.
"My recommendation? If your work doesn’t involve long-running tasks that are CPU- and GPU-intensive (such as Premiere) then the new MacBook Pro should provide a considerable increase in performance."

Women’s Media Is a Scam
My county uses a bubble form which I then place into a scanner and I can see the counter on the scanner increment. I can print out a sample ballot from the county website ahead of time.

This seems like the best system to me. Most Americans are very familiar with bubble forms and there is a clear paper trail while still allowing electronic counting. The only downside is the cost of the paper ballots, and I suppose, not allowing for last minute changes. I don’t know how accessibility issues are handled, but I believe there are attendants to help with that.

There’s just no way I will ever trust an touch screen voting system, especially from a single manufacturer. Maybe a system where a touch screen system from company A prints out a receipt which is then scanned by a scanner from company B and both systems have to match. Maybe.

Meanwhile the parties are fighting over voter ID though so I don’t see this getting any real attention.

Actually the answer is very interesting. The launch loop is a so-called active structure. The momentum of the rotor is raising the structure (notice that there are cables stays, but they are to hold it down, not to support it). In this way active structures can be made to any height, taller than material properties that limit static buildings.

At some point this technique will have to be used to make the next world's tallest building. Disadvantage is that the power must be kept on or the building collapses.

I'll bite. Reasons that you might not only not want to use DNSSEC yourself, but also believe it's important for the protocol not to find any success:

* It creates a global tree-based PKI rooted in world governments (and, on the 2018 Internet, particularly the "Five Eyes" governments), many of which have already demonstrated an eagerness to manipulate Internet infrastructure to capture intelligence.

* Simply in order to reach parity with the (poor) security UX we have today, it will require major forklift-grade updates to libraries and code already deployed, because virtually all Internet software is written with the assumption that DNS lookups fail only because of network failures or user errors, and DNSSEC introduces a third basic class of failures. All this new code will be costly and that money could be spent on better things, and all that new code will be buggy.

* We now know from years of niche experience that our predictions about DNSSEC and reliability were right, that DNSSEC is rarely deployed reliably (major providers routinely screw it up), and that it creates frequent outages that wouldn't occur were DNSSEC not deployed in the first place.

Against these and other concerns you have to weigh the benefits of DNSSEC. But unfortunately for the protocol, the last 25 years of protocol development has proceeded based on the premise that the DNS isn't trustworthy to begin with --- you have to draw a line in the protocol "stack" somewhere, with "insecure" stuff below and "secure" stuff above, and we've essentially spent the last quarter century with that line drawn above DNS. As a result: the benefits of DNSSEC are marginal, bordering on vanishing.

It used to be that there was a coherent argument for DNSSEC around email; DNSSEC would enable MTAs to establish secure connections reliably. But major email providers have given up on DNSSEC even for that application: SMTP STS doesn't depend on DNSSEC.

Isn't the idea with the launch loop that it suspends itself by electrical force? The downside being that when it looses power it comes crashing down.

It does...but it’s doesnt justify a “tech start up” being able to raise billions because they found a market in illegally manufacturing and selling alcohol.

You are basically justifying someone like al Capone who found a huge market for alcohol distribution during prohibition. The law may have been wrong, but you don’t celebrate the criminal, criminal activity and bodies left in the wake.

Even a profound market meltdown should not cause you to change your strategy unless you need your money really soon.

Look at the meltdown in 2000. If you were thirty years old and sold, you might have patted yourself on the back for a while...but assuming you are reserving most of this money for retirement when you are over sixty, you would have to either time a re-entry in the market, or give up 3x gains since.

The only people who should be changing course due to a correction are people who need their money soon.

If you are in your thirties now, the DJIA will probably be 50k+ by time you retire. Does it really matter if it goes to 15k first?

The studies I'm aware of (e.g. [1]) point in the opposite direction: runners have a lower risk of osteoarthritis, potentially because they have a lower BMI. As an avid long distance runner myself, if you have any evidence to the contrary, I'd be very interested to read it.

When automation arrive to that level, that could happen, but it's far from unavoidable.

Isn't the idea of decentralization for podcasts to create an open protocol that anyone can conform to at their choosing? It is the choice of the content creator in those circumstances whether or not they join together in a group. Just because clusters form in a decentralized system doesn't mean the entire system isn't decentralized.

Organisms do find it easier to survive in groups, but the main point here is that even these groups like Nerdist, NPR, etc. would still have publicly available working podcast feeds if somehow iTunes stopped working tomorrow.
Agreed on all counts.

> And like you say, "bouncy" latency is even more disruptive

The technical term for this is "jitter". Networking and telecoms people pay a lot of attention to this metric, both for the reasons you cite and because jitter is much more noticeable than high-but-constant latency in voice or video communications.

Analysed in a vacuum yes, it's a terrible argument. But if you look at it through Apple magnifying glass it makes sense. They are locked on the objective of making their devices thin enough to be able to shave with one of them and whatever Intel is doing is no longer fitting this concept.

One other thing Apple is aiming for is to go back to fully controlling the development and integration of their products. This means the HW and the SW. It worked just fine for them with the phones, admittedly a segment where no major architectural/compatibility changes were needed.

We'll get to see if they can pull it off in a segment where the compatibility is a huge burden. Microsoft tried and failed perhaps for this very reason: no control over the HW. Also an even bigger burden of legacy (likely the biggest of any SW company). But Apple already managed to transition from 68000 to PPC to x86. They'd really set a hard to beat record if they manage to move to ARM even if just for the regular laptop lines (Air, MB) and not the Pros.
Socially, its not too different. A good netizen will have to manage the servers, just as usenet required good administrators to thrive in the 90s and early 2000s.

Technologically, PeerTube / ActivityPub is built on top of modern protocols which are more fashionable right now. WebRTC, ActivityPub, etc. etc. are all web browser technologies that can be implemented in PHP and Javascript alone.
The current S&P 500 P/E ratio is around 24. That is historically overvalued (the median is around 14.7, mean 15.7). Yet the new normal might be a P/E of around 20 (though who pays 20X one year of earnings for a business unless it is growing like crazy).

Of course the last time we were at the mean was at the bottom of the 2010 recession.

Just to compare in the 2001 recession we hit a P/E of around 45, during the 2010 recession we hit a P/E of 65.

Obviously it is a lagging indicator as the ratio goes through the roof because earnings drop through the floor.

The market can go sideways for a long time (and has historically). During the obama years that is essentially what happened. Sideways with a slight increase actually feels like a pretty decent economy (especially after 2010).

Yeah, and it was introduced for local accounts in Windows 10 just in the last few months. Beyond the general irritation of it being a poor security system, making me do it for a user account that isn't personal to me is additionally quite silly: I told the installer I was going to domain join the PC.

I end up mashing the keyboard for each one to create hopefully suitably random answers that even I myself don't know. But it's still arguably an additional security hole that I have to simply hope Microsoft hasn't somehow stored in plaintext somewhere.
