Seems like most common backlight is WLED. WLED seems to use bluelight diodes and phosphor.
"called ‘white’ LEDs they actually emit a blue light which passes through a yellow phosphor "

This does not sound that good in the light that Chemist recently discovered that blue light speeds up blindness. Hacker News, Phys.org. Maybe a reason why for example submarines uses red light at night.

I'm guessing archive.is has misidentified DNS requests from 1.1.1.1 as a DDoS, so is resolving them to the requester's own IP address in an attempt to get them to DDoS themselves.

"returning answers tailored to the IP address of the requestor" is normal and correct behavior for most large websites, the problem is that one of those IP addresses is wrong. Specifically, when the requester is CloudFlare, archive.is is returning a CloudFlare internal IP address instead of their own. I'm guessing where they got that IP address is that it's the requester, and where they got mixed up is that virtually all high-volume DNS requesters that appear overnight are DDoS attacks.
Usually corporate cube hell is a means to an end outside of said hell, but HN is littered with stories of people being utterly consumed (in a bad, soul-crushing way) by their workplace all the time, so good point.
So are there plans in place to use fire proactively to do controlled burns on overgrown / older forests?
You asked by what criteria I would trust one company over another, which seems significantly more interesting but...alright:

My own ISP already knows all the ips I connect to, so telling them what the domains are doesn't tell them much, especially as the trend towards ipv6 means that multiple-domains-on-one-ip has gotten less popular.

Cloudflare's main prerogative isn't to sell clicks the way google's is, which earns it points already. In addition, if you believe the official documents, they permanently log a lot less[1] than google[2].

I would also, needless to say, feel ok hosting my own dns.

Quad9 and opendns both filter content, and as such I don't trust them because the fact that they're willing to do that means that they are willing to censor content if they so choose.

I don't know any other dns servers off the top of my head.

Exactly this. Most of those scooters I've seen don't travel faster than a running person, yet I don't see joggers being banned from sidewalks.
Most 3D printers don't have massive printing heads. If they drive into the end-stops, the motors will likely just skip steps and be stuck. They are not designed to apply much force.

I'm much more worried about the heating element. Its temperature is usually controlled by the same cpu that also does motion control and g-code parsing. If anything locks up the CPU the heat might not be turned off in time, and (because you also want fast startup) there is enough power available to melt something. At the very least you would get nasty fumes from over-heated plastics, and maybe even teflon tape, which often is part of the print head. At worst it could start a fire.
Thanks for sharing that view. I have a theory on the same kind of reasoning : marketing combined with instant purchase capabilities (online buying and fast shipping) transformed the mass consumers into testers. Items are built, marketed, discovered, bought, shipped and reviewed faster, which allows "experimentation" with consumers. The mass consumers market is a giant lab, paid by the consumers.

I've always wondered about the true value of "for show" security measures. Requiring millions of passengers to spend 5 minutes more going through security to undergo procedures that wouldn't stop a determined terrorist definitely seems like a huge waste.

However, if the government didn't do "something", it's pretty likely that trust in the US air transportation system would shrink. Wouldn't crush it, but maybe 3 of 100 passengers would forgo air travel because they didn't feel comfortable or that their government isn't on top of it. And maybe that 3% decrease corresponds in $XXX Million in lost revenue for airlines.

So I'd believe that "for show" security measures don't actually increase security, but I'd also bet that they increase airline ridership. The moral of the story is that it's an economic response, not a security one.

ALL drm is useless, not just that protecting audiobooks.
One or two scooters on the sidewalk are fine. Two dozen are not. When this becomes a real aproblem, regulate it. Until it does, let it alone.
This is really going against the impression I've both personally gotten and seen from others here. Are you really saying you would trust Comcast or AT&T here more than Google with your DNS history?

And regarding this bit:

> I'm not saying that if you use 8.8.8.8, you'll search ads will target you.

Hm, well others here have been suggesting this would be the case.

> But I would bet they use your anonymized browsing history to fight bots, test internet speeds at various locations, identify browser technology, and who knows what.

Even if I take this at face value, how are these things you listed bad things? If my DNS queries are going to fight bots, by all means, please fight bots! If they're going to help them improve internet speeds, by all means, they should do that! That's what data is good for. Everyone here is freaking out about privacy, not improved service. (!)

Yeah, same thing in Berlin. Startups make up less than 25% of WeWork occupants.
Yes it does, by dramatically reducing rates of addiction and drug use. Take away vast swathes of the market for illegal drugs and the violence associated with it subsides. At least that’s what has happened in Portugal. Now that Norway is following suit, in the years to come we will have another case study to look at.

Useless? Netflix is based on DRM, maybe you find it immoral, but it certainly isn't useless.

This depends obviously on where you are in the political spectrum.

I would not like to make voting more complicated,to prevent people from voting, but the current majority in the US support making voting harder for many people. I assume you're one of those.
Not to mention the risk of accidentally bombing firefighters on the ground.
Time will tell of course, but I don't believe history will look fondly on these times. At some point I believe their will be a reckoning in the shape of that which brought down the tobacco industry, but directed towards the psychological warfare being fought for our attention.

In NYC, my purely anecdotal experience is that it's mostly startups. That said, when walking around talking to companies, it can be difficult to tell the difference between a 5-10 person "startup" and a 5-10 person profitable small business. Most don't just volunteer their cap table.

We dont know if this is true,because no developed country has decriminalised the drug trade. It seems to me that doing that would increase drug use and the associated public health and social problems. I’m much more in favour of decriminalising use but keeping the trade itself illegal, as in Portugal. That enables attacking the problem from both directions at the same time. Restrict availability through cracking down on dealers, while also removing the market through treatment and rehabilitation.
I enjoyed the post, but there's something that bothers me about using the name CRDT.

A CRDT is just what mathematicians (and functional programmers) call a Semilattice[1], right? In general, I find it frustrating when people make up new names for existing mathematical concepts because it deprives others from learning and seeing the big picture. Does this resonate with anyone here?

My use of "simply" wasn't expressing the idea that the details of running such a business are trivial, but that it's an everyday thing that's been invented and not some speculative or impossible or unbelievable thing.

No, it's not meant to be different. "Outperformance" can mean performance relative to a given benchmark - here, something like the CPI or PPI was the benchmark intended.

Right now in the US, maybe it's not happening. But look at Japan and what's happened to investment returns and inflation in the last 30 years.

Essentially all my savings are in fact in the stock market. So I'm not promoting, say, gold, or bitcoin, or whatever alternative. I'm just nervous if I can't justify the direction of the herd in spite of the fact it would make me feel better if I was sure the market would keep going up.
If you are willing to embrace the term 'cloud' - as everyone here seems willing to do, including the Cloudflare (...) guy - then you have already admitted that you are happy with that type of garbage. 'Edge' seems trivial in comparison. If you really care about this bullshit then you should agree to avoid all these VC/buzzword/corporate/marketing bullshit terms.
I think it is a realistic firefighting tool but overall I think we just need to get more realistic about how we live with wildfires, especially in ecosystems that are specifically adapted to have wildfires. For all homes built next to a fire line/brush area make sure they have systems implemented to prevent them from burning. For urban areas you can just have exterior sprinklers. If the area is a subdivision then have a good margin of brush-free clearing. Have a water suppression system built in place to pump water directly on the burning zones. Then you simply let the fire burn itself out until it reaches the fire suppression system knowing that system will stop the fire from destroying homes.

For homes that are directly in the forest areas (rural) then we just need to build those homes with fireproof materials and have some sort of basic fire suppression system. Maybe a fire-proof/heat resistant tarp over the structure? Perhaps a novel solution would be to simply build UNDERGROUND homes in these areas instead. No need to worry about fire at that point. I am watching the news and see a lot of these structures and just wonder what the people were thinking when they built it. Really...a log cabin in a forest that is known to have forest fires somewhat regularly?
Your average airport has thousands of employees. Airports are thoroughly infiltrated by criminal gangs smuggling drugs. They don't do full background checks on everyone who works there let alone psychological tests.
Airline engineering employees need to power on planes, fire up various systems to test, and even move them around. It's absolutely routine. All the reports I've seen seem to suggest that this was one of those employees. So it seems reasonable to assume that he would have had the PIN or "key" or whatever in this case anyway.
Taking off and cruising aren't hard, but low altitude loops and rolls certainly are.

Surely a static (non electric) brush serves mostly the same purpose, since a cow can rub its body against it, and is considerably cheaper.

The moving brush also seems at risk of harming the cow (poking it's eye out, or pulling its tail off).
I am 34. My fiance is 27. She has a handful of friends that are a few years younger in their ealry 20s. In my generation (born ~1990 and earlier), social media can be good entertainment and potentially help your career or business.

In later generations (~1995 and younger), being on social media is not just a "nice thing", it's mandatory. If you're not active, with friends, posting envy-inducing photos, you just don't exist. Many teenagers and early 20 year olds face huge anxiety over their online presence.

So in response to your point, I don't blame their "generation" for this behavior, of being a rotten generation. To be clear, it was our generation that did it to them, extolling the virtues of technology and communication with no limits, always assuming that being connected was a purely positive gain, turning objects like the iPhone into religious relics.

My generation started with rotary phones and got handheld mobiles and were happy with that. But if you're born with that, instant access to everyone any anyone, it's bound to change the way you interact with others.
For the 5-10 people phase in Berlin, there is also the option for other coworking spaces that are cheaper. For startups that go through an accelerator here, there is also often the option to have a place in their (private) coworking spaces at okay rates.

Beyond 10 people, most startups here realistically don't have that explosive growth in employees, so you can rent an office 3x your current size, and still come out cheaper than WeWork. In the mean-time you can sublet the empty space to other smaller startups on a quarterly basis until you need it yourself.

I realize that in other cities, the situation might be a different one, but at least in Berlin there are very few startups that have the luxury to of a "fuck profitability"/explosive growth strategy, which are realistically the ones that can afford a WeWork for more than a few months.

People can and do say that about any business or nation or whatever "specifically" being criticized. Why not criticize all of them? Because comments are limited in length, and because the subject at hand is cheapo PR for Google? Even if you were to criticize "all, fairly", you would have to start somewhere, and there would always someone saying "why not start with Y first", and when you criticize Y someone else says "why not start with X first".

Especially since people asking that generally know nothing about the people who criticize a thing, and what else they might criticize in other contexts. It's not like they're busy criticizing some bigger evil and criticism of $thing_under_current_discussion blocks their noble work. At worst they're doing nothing, yet expect others who are doing something -- even if that's just making one decision against one product or company, rather than zero, and making one comment about their own personal actual stance, instead of about synthesized hypothetical persons -- to take some time out of their day to answer pointless "questions".

We recently gave a workshop on k-anonymity (+l-diversity and t-closeness) and differential privacy, you can find the iPython notebooks and slides here:

https://github.com/KIProtect/data-privacy-for-data-scientist...

In the workshop we implement the "Mondrian algorithm" to produce a k-anonymous dataset. We then look at the problems of this approach (i.e. missing diversity in the sensitive attribute) and try to fix it using l-diversity (which is also not optimal) and finally t-closeness. The third notebook includes an implementation of a differentially private "randomized response" scheme, showing how it changes the data and how we can take into account the added noise when working with the randomized data.

I think it's important to keep in mind that k-anonymity and differential privacy are not algorithms but mathematical privacy definitions. To implement them, you need a suitable method like the "Mondrian" algorithm or a randomized response scheme.

If you have any questions or suggestions for improvements please open an issue or PR on Github!

Certainly Comcast and At&T are pretty untrustworthy when asked to do the right thing, and I'd pretty confidently say they're less trustworthy than Google.

That said, they are selling a service, and you're paying for it. Quite a bit for it. It would be pretty stupid for AT&T to use your DNS data and risk your $150/month cable, phone, internet subscription for an extra buck or two.

But with Google, you just don't know and their entire business model is predicated on selling your data. They are almost certainly using their DNS servers for some data-based operation.

And a last quasi-technical point... I'm sure AT&T and Comcast have good engineers on staff, but I'm even more sure that Google has better ones. I am less concerned about AT&T and Comcast because I honestly don't think they have the wherewithal and talent to come up with ways to monetize DNS. I'm pretty sure Google could.

And to your point, even if Google is giving away DNS services to only fight bots and measure internet speeds, they should at least say that in their privacy policy. They don't. They just say they keep detailed data temporarily and anonymized data long term. I don't use Google's DNS because I really have no clue what they're doing with it. In contrast, if my ISP does something, I can always try to sue them, or if that fails cancel my service.
I think it helps to remember that gamedev is supposed to be fun.

I've been working on ShittyEmu https://imgur.com/xgEMj5z (Basically an emulator that randomizes textures, sounds, and art assets of n64 games, and flips some of the bytecode ops deterministically.)

Tonight it was pretty cool to see the result. But there's not some pie in the sky goal, except a vague idea that I'd like to make something entertaining. It's just iteration and incremental improvements.

But that mindset ends up being far less stressful than trying to develop an epic game from first principles over the course of years.

Just have fun coding. Try out crazy ideas. And yes, the industry as a whole is pretty dysfunctional. So why join it? It's never been easier to go from a blank vi screen to a shipped product on Steam. We're in the golden age of gamedev.
