24 hours seems to be common for the TLDs I looked at. That seems fairly short compared to this idea that a 51% attacker would need sustained capability to do real damage.
I strongly recommend volunteering. I taught in Oakland in the '17-'18 school year. It was a great experience and I will gladly do it again as soon as I have a more flexible job. I was anxious about the known and unknown challenges, but that faded quickly after the first couple classes. I learned a lot from this experience, and I'm a better person for it.
I've been reading a lot about this problem specifically with respect to Chinese culture. Insofar as we can say any one thing about a national culture of more than a billion, on the whole, the Chinese simply don't care about attribution, copyright, or plagiarism. It is the view of most folks that it's acceptable to copypaste blocks of content from one thing into another and then call it your own. For anyone else interested, the Academia Stack Exchange is actually one of the best and most interesting places to find real-world stories of people grappling with this problem, and offers some deconstruction in the comments/answers.
You are in college for one reason and one reason alone: education. College shouldn't be used as a platform for politicking. If you wish to do politics or activism do it outside the campus. Just like how you would if you were in school or a work environment. Why should colleges be an exception to the rule?

It's ridiculous that college students are used for furthering political agendas. Campuses have become a hotbed for politicians and activists alike. They no longer need to do the hard work of visiting neighborhoods and interacting directly with people about their problems. They have a readily available resource in the form of college students whom they can influence. Lest we forget about peer pressure students face: you are in our group as long as you align with our political ideology/activism.

And what is the point of inviting speakers when everyone is pretty much divided and will never accept the other's views? This entire process just creates more fissures than bridge gaps.

It's sickening that we as a society allow this in the first place. And this isn't just a societal issue but also an ethical issue: should taxpayer money be used to fund such events when it was provided to further education standards?

This isn't just restricted to the US; it's pretty much a worldwide phenomenon.

I absolutely believe that there should be physical elements to a child's development, and that the world holds a lot to experience, and I get that touching a cow is going to leave more of a lasting impact on a child than being forced to learn what an adjective is, I just don't know a better way to teach an adjective than rote memorization or a screen.

The price of the vehicle doesn't matter; a Lexus takes up as much space as a Sentra. Vehicles should be taxed on factors that matter. In Manhattan, that means they should be paying congestion charges for using limited roadway, parking fees for using limited parking space, and emissions charges relative to emissions. Yes, that means that a "luxury" Tesla would be taxed less than a Sentra. I don't care. I don't have a car at all, but I do have lungs. Same for most Manhattanites. Get these gasoline and especially diesel burners outta here.
Yeah this was my takeaway as well. Category error - author didn't like electron apps, and therefore wants to dump GUIs in favor of terminals (which would slowly become GUIs with his improvements).
Who needs RSS when there is pocket. /s
You are crazy if you think that more people would prefer a terminal emulator than a built in web browser in Windows. There's a reason most home users use Windows and not Ubuntu, and it's not spelled terminal.
I think the intent was more that security keys greatly reduce the friction associated with more secure practices, reducing the reasons to use less secure ones.
Thats really too bad. I use RSS heavily with internal tools to give me sorted lists of config changes, trouble tickets, alarms, caller logs, emails/voicemail, etc.

I also have a nicely curated set of RSS searches from Nyaatorrents, craigslist, Kijiji and a few other sites that I check thru firefox.
How about don't live in a big fucking city if you don't like a lot of congestion?
It’s concerning, but shouldn’t be terrifying (although the media prefers it to be).

Even with highly resistant strains, current antibiotics works in nearly all cases. Physicians are quite careful about reserving the “big guns” for last. In addition, anti-resistance techniques have been effective with some resistant strains actually decreasing in prevalence over the past few years.

Do we need to keep researching new antibiotics? Of course. Is it doomsday? No.
You use general principles. Eg, someone else posted this which I think is good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hara_hachi_bun_me

Also throughout the thread you see people saying "that's what worked for me, everyone is different". The underlying point is to eat a diet that satisfies your hunger to the point you feel comfortable without consuming more calories than you need for your daily activities.

People with a sweet tooth may need to avoid high fat, high salt stuff. People who enjoy fat more may need to avoid carbs. People who enjoy exercise may just need to exercise a bit more, etc.

Besides being (ironically) arrogant, your dismissal sounds to me like you want to disavow any responsibility computer programmers have for what the technology they develop is used for.

> founded on an incorrect understanding of what kind of thing programmers are good at

In my personal opinion, if you're not always thinking of the applications and effects on society of your work, you're not a very fully-developed human being and certainly not the best programmer you could be, to say nothing of being a good citizen.
Not sure who downvoted you because yes I should have used commas not only in the above comment but also in this one.

Really disappointed in Mozilla. After all, it's quite obvious, if you don't modernize and even continue to hide a feature for years, its usage won't improve unless external events drive the demand.

And since RSS readers counter the interests of both ad- and subscription-driven media, it's unlikely there will be any demand generated by anyone else other than RSS aggregators themselves.

I wrote a comment under a different post just a few days ago. My comment got _way_ out of hand and wasn't as articulate as I had hoped. But the salient point I made with it is simple and applies equally well to this article.

UI is hard.

User interfaces seems really simple. Every programmer I know has looked at a UI and thought to themselves "I can code that in an hour!" and then ended up spending weeks, sometimes _months_ building the UI.

I believe UI is a big, unsolved problem in modern computer science. Just as hard as any other unsolved problem in our field. Right up there with general artificial intelligence and P=?NP. I'm not even joking.

We will eventually solve the problem of UI. But there are a thousand and one articles posted every day either A) complaining about existing UI or B) telling everyone the solution (without providing real, concrete new libraries, frameworks, code, etc). No one wants to admit that this stuff is just plain hard and we shouldn't beat ourselves up over the fact that we haven't solved it yet.

In other words, it's easy to complain. It's easy to display hubris. It's hard to put forth real, practical solutions. Or at least be humble and admit that we _don't_ have the solution.
depends on what is defined by a screen. For example, you can imagine that kids in school will be able to fully immerse themselves into education scenarios (like being on a farm) through virtual or augmented tech. Smells and feel will also be simulated. From an education perspective will it be much different. Depends on how good AR/VR get... but also think of all the possibilities that kids and students will get that they couldn't in the real world e.g. as quoted in the article... kids will be able to go on virtual field trips, as well as traveling back in time for history lessons or meeting Albert Einstein

This is why the revenue of companies producing phones dropped recently. Most people don't want to change their device that often.

The revenue of phone companies (except for Apple) haven't been great since Android became popular. There is no differentiation except for price and all of the other manufacturers are in a race to the bottom -- it happens in all commoditized markets -- PC's, TVs, etc.

There are no bridge tolls on most of the NYC bridges -- just the bridges and tunnels to Manhattan.

Unfortunately driving still isn't nearly expensive because way too many people are doing it. Raise the tolls more and get rid of all the free on-street parking while we're at it. All the side streets are full of cars that are only moved twice a week for street-sweeping and it makes no damn sense. Make people pay the actual cost of keeping a car in the city and there'll be a lot fewer of them, and the majority of people will be better off.

Hm interesting because Korean pop culture is popular among Japanese teens just as it has become popular in the US, but again, another one data point.
There really can be no points of contention here. I mean, everyone is paying the same tax as you, providing they drive the same car. You own a stretch limo, fine, so long as you want to pay the tax. And everyone else owning that limo would pay the same tax as you. You own a tiny Civic or Corolla, fine, you pay the same tax as everyone else who owns that tiny car of yours.

I mean really, what's to argue? You could argue whether there should be a tax at all I suppose. But not much else.
I think you hit the nail on the head.

I would also add that the whole minefield of communicating with someone of the opposite sex, especially if you are a man. It seems that you have a high risk of being called up for harassment if you want to start a friendly conversation with a female as a male for example. This is a direct consequence of the whole metoo thing.

Over the last 15 years, society has been more and more strict into defining what is an acceptable social behavior. You are supposed to stay in your lane and not talk to anyone basically, except in accepted places like a bar, sometimes.

I think in 20 years nobody will talk openly on the streets. All the interactions will take place in well defined "apps" or in defined places like a bar. Everything outside that will be looked down as weird.

This is already half happening with dating. You have a higher risk of creating an incident in real life so everyone is now using well defined dating apps with a well defined flow and a well defined experience.

The world is becoming more and more tasteless. Everything has to take place into well defined boundaries.
> We talk about Japan as if it’s dying sometimes

I find this is mostly because the West can't fathom that Japan might have different values -- for example their unwillingness to sacrifice cultural homogeniety on the altar of economic growth.

I wouldn't. As noted in my response to falcolas' response to you I would assume everyone can have different approaches to the same problem. Breaking it down to subgroups doesn't really help that you are still going to be studying an average person that doesn't exist.

This is such a slippery slope you've created here. If FF doesn't support RSS anymore then even fewer people will use RSS and RSS will die rather sooner than later. This is such a pity as RSS can really empower users.

How many Greek deities were non-anthropomorphic?
The general public too. Ask any non-nerd if they are aware that by accessing their Gmail account via a third party service, that that service can read their emails. I’m sure that the majority will be freaked out by even the notion that that would be possible. Horrified even.

Then ask them if they understand just how much data Google & Facebook has on their browsing history via cookies, third-party trackers, adboxes & share buttons.

Then ask them if they know that, if they did an ancestry check, their DNA data may soon be shared with their insurance provider?

Then ask them if they know that their credit history was probably leaked to the public via the Equifax hack?

Then ask them if they know that all that data is legally allowed to be used forever with minimal oversight other than what’s mandated by law?

All of the above is obvious to nerds like us but the public at large haven’t got a clue about any of this.

No, Android OS is at 74.2% of the EU market.

It's closer to 50/50 in the US, but in the EU and worldwide Android dominates the market and will probably continue to rise as Huawei continues to expand.

> The gestalt of a farm transcends what pixels and speakers can convey.

Humanity has historically fled from working on farms (note the % of farm workers over the last 300 years). Maybe before writing this sentence, question your pastoralist presumptions.

I will also remark, without proof, that retreating from the contemporary world gives your children a tailwind that they will need to overcome. The notion of teaching computers to children is a notion, at its core, of guiding children into engagement with the contemporary, preparing them to deliver their full potential within the world we live in.

Assumptions that "nature is better", or "sweaty work is more moral than brain work", or "face to face is better than distance" are founded upon certain assumptions about the world that are not per se true. Just because one might feel better, or feel more trusting, in certain environments does not make what you feel to be rational or correct. Much like "wellness", juice cleanses, or antivaxxing.

And, as counterpoint to the inevitable - it's also true that f2p mobile games and video short video recommendation systems are finely tuned addiction engines that prey upon children - the mental & physical health issues are not to be ignored. The author isn't going into those issues. And, limiting screen time is a very common practice in recognition of that reality.

Completely agree. How do we fix this? I notice in other countries there is a much more collectivist mentality, whereas Americans are rooted in a mentality of rugged individualism. It’s hard to get Americans to actually care about each other. For example, the Pacific North West is hostile to California, Virginia looks down on North Carolina who looks down on South Carolina... there’s a lot of divisions across as wide range of demographics in America. It seems to be getting worse. Maybe the pendulum will begin to swing the other way? A really sad symptom is how many people go on social media but essentially broadcast to no one and get no feedback. It seems incredibly lonely to realize how many people online are sort of engaging in form of prayer of sorts (speaking to no one, hoping for a reply) and casting their emotions into a black hole of the Internet.

I think for all it’s merits, we’ve gotta get people offline and engaging with each other in the real world. We’ve gotta get people out of their thought bubbles too, but I have no idea how to accomplish that. Bringing back the Fairness Doctrine would probably help.

I live in Manhattan and the biggest noise problem to me is from vehicles, mostly just cars honking their horns for no damn reason. It's hard to imagine there ever being any effective enforcement of this though, so I'd settle for reducing the number of vehicles.

Add a congestion charge a la London for all of Manhattan south of 72nd Street, remove all free on-street parking and replace some of it with a combination of meters and/or resident-permit-only parking (said permits would not be cheap -- I'm thinking hundreds per month), turn all the rest of the freed up parking spots into protected bike lanes, and turn a bunch of roads into the most popular areas into pedestrian plazas like Times Square (or what many European cities have in their downtowns).

Most people who live in this city do not drive (and cannot, for simple scaling reasons), and yet the majority of public space is reserved for vehicles. It makes no sense whatsoever and is a terrible misallocation of very limited and valuable space.
I fear this might be too slow to stop an automated attack. Passing -f to poweroff, so that shutdown(8) is not called, might help a bit.

It's obvious because it's clearly a false dichotomy... not everything maps 1 to 1 from real world to digital world, and things you learn in one may not be learnable in the other.

Equating farm visitation to playing farming simulator is absurd, literally no one would support that the digital counterpart is more absolutely valuable, whatever that means (the onus of figuring that out is on you)

But sure, I'll go with an easy cookie cutter example just to fit your argument - letting a kid play flight simulator is much easier, faster, and affordable than enrolling them in a flight school. Maybe you're too poor to even consider a real school, but playing a video game is still a valid way to see if flight might be a genuine interest. Is it then a worthless endeavour?

Non-wasy examples would have you try to come up with direct alternatives to abstact thinking ( "obviously me making some weird DIY things will be better than playing a puzzle game" - absurd)

Attacking the digital medium is absolutely not the way we'll figure out how to move forward.
