The kid does have citizenship... of the parents country. The brothers in the article are Russian citizens.

The parents knew 100% who they were working for. Maybe they shouldn't lie to their children?

It's sort of like Madoff stealing billions and his children growing up thinking they were rich.. and then one day, the government comes and takes all the money away and imprisons the thief. And then someone asks, but shouldn't these children still be rich? Why should they live in poverty when they grew up their entire lives thinking they were billionaires?
I don't see how you would distinguish this from a guess?

Honestly anyone who invests on the basis on what layer of cloud computing is currently being used to solve the problem can't be doing too well.

This sounds like the same old argument, blaming someone's stupidity on outside forces. Not everyone is born smart. You want diversity? Well it doesn't only come in color; it comes in intelligence as well as other aspects. Swaying peoples options is by no means new or born of the digital age, and when it deals with politics, guess what, it's call propagandaBut the research is limited and in its infancy. The artical says, "Despite this, we are well aware that understanding and manipulating human behavior has been a motivation of recent events targeting political elections through social media". In the 19-teens and 1920s, we had the Creel Commition, the U.S.'s first real propaganda machine. Noam Chompski as well as other have writen om the subject. Hell, there's even a section in Machiavelli's "The Prince" on the subject. The stupid will always exist to do stupid things and as the population grows the proportion of stupid grows and the more we make that the subject of our news the more noticable stipid will be.

Why in the world would/should a car in London be relying on a cloud computer in SF to tell it how to make real-time decisions...?

Unfortunately, the majority of technical details on the web on implementing VU meters in the digital domain is misleading, of not outright wrong.

A while back, I implemented VU meters for some professional AV software. I started with the available references, but quickly discovered that it was well-intentioned but incorrect/inaccurate. I ended up sourcing the original specification for the analog meters, and then devising digital filters to replicate the same ballistics. This matched perfectly with the reference, (pro hardware).

TL;DR don't believe what you read on the web. Go to primary sources!
Yes, but it's overly simplistic. It's not the fault of the kids that their parents were engage din deception, and now that the kids have (partially) grown up in the sincere belief that they are Canadian they have a separate interest from that of their parents. In a tricky cas like this you could rule with the proviso that they won't be able to enjoy the normal benefits that would accrue to the parents of citizens, like any preferential immigration or visa rights.
I presume that nobody sane is sending critical self driving car decisions to the cloud.

I'd rather have my experiences and actions (reactions) recorded for later. Even if we don't know how to upload a person now, we might know later. Recording is possible even now with the tech at our disposal. Deep Learning shows that you can build a model with enough input-output pairs.

On a parallel topic - I think the data we are creating today, especially since the expansion of internet and sensors, might be used by future AGI to simulate the conditions that led to its creation for What-if scenarios & AGI pre-history. We might be in such a sim right now. Previous ages left too little information, so they can't be simulated as well. On the other hand, we leave tons of digital breadcrumbs, so we could be a prime target.
Sorry, if you're inflicting problems on the kids then blaming the parents isn't a valid defense. It's distinctly different from a property interest.

There's a country directly south of Canada made for people with views like yours. Feel free to leave at any time.

I've never heard of this problem with immigrants coming to Canada just to give their children Canadian citizenship before, I'd love to see some documentation. It sounds suspiciously similar to right wing rhetoric in the United States that claims Mexican women do the same.

A founding value of our country is relatively open immigration, as that is how it became populated. My distant anscestors came here and benefited from that, and I suspect yours did as well.

Having a child in Canada only benefits the child, the parent gets no benefit. They have to apply for permanent residency and get no special treatment for having a Canadian child.

Children of our enemies rejecting their parents culture choosing to live here is something we should encourage.

For historical context refer to United Empire Loyalists immigrating from the United States (an enemy at the time) and being given land grants and other privileges.
>I only suggested LitElement because of your desire for something like Vue but in pure ES6 modules and without a compiler.

Which I appreciate, thanks. I have looked into it, but it was so long ago I had forgotten about it. And to be frank, it hasn't gotten a lot of attention online.

That being said, I will wait a while to see if Vue.js comes around with an ESM build (I guess I could make one myself, but that seems to brittle). And if not, then I will have motivation to look into another library/framework.
I tried to build an app and then googled each problem I hit (How to display a button on iOS. How to change label text on iOS. How to play a sound in iOS...). A few apps later and I had a decent grasp on a lot of concepts.

> Spies are working for a foreign government, just not declaring it.

You've changed the wording to fit your narrative. These spies were not diplomats. They had no immunity.
If you're pragmatic and interested in being happy, I would recommend knowing as little as possible. If you keep learning, there's a point at which you'll know far more than a most people are capable of understanding. From that point forward, communicating with most people will become progressively more challenging and less satisfying. The finite pool of people that you can communicate with effectively will shrink. To survive in the world you'll need to actively work at dumbing your initial thoughts down to simple sentences that don't require a broad range of knowledge to understand.
If you are asking this question you are clearly more informed than the sales rep asking about being on the edge.

The point wasn't that a car would ever do this. The point is that it would be absolutely ridiculous to do real time computation with such a high latency. Unless your question is rhetorical, there is no answer except "you would not do that"

Some people out there for sure have no idea that the cloud is still bound by the constraints of physics and spacetime and that there is latency based on how close your servers are.

Those games will be covered in another article as they seem to particular target Dolphin's weaknesses and thus some of their behaviors doesn't actually make sense for the source hardware.

That 69 minutes is probably for appointments set in advance. Without an apppointment, at least in the Bay Area, it’s going to be about 3 hours.
One time, I got a telemarketing call from someone selling satellite TV or something like that. I kept him on the line some time, asking all sorts of enthusiastic questions about his amazing service. I then proceeded to ask him how high up his satellites were, and if they could be giving God cancer. He (obviously) did not have a good answer. I then disappointedly told him that I was going to have to run his setup by my wife, as she made the religious decisions.

This seems like that, modulo Poe's law.
I’d add: what’s your target market? It reads a bit “everyone”, which I don’t thinks it’s a great idea.

That doesn't mean whether their sons were tortured or otherwise persecuted is irrelevant as evidence of what the US is like. As we see in this thread the categories of "foreign spies" and "traitors" are associated in peoples' minds.

I don’t know about impotence, but I do think this will lead to further discussion around ROEs(Rules of Engagement) for shooting down recreational and commercial aircraft used as weapons.

During 9/11 the ready birds that launched were unarmed(peace dividend reduced threat posture).

I’m sure ready birds are all armed now.

I’m not sure what level of authority is required to shoot down threat aircraft, but I think it’s safe to assume that the limited time/space requires latitude be given to flight leader.

One flight pair that launched unarmed on 9/11(including one female fighter pilot) were prepared to ram the hijcked airliner if they made it in time.
I guess this is pretty useful in a pinch, but I'd much rather just run grep on my local dictionary file (/usr/share/dict/words on macOS), so I'm not limited in the number of matches or the HTML interface.

I didn't believe they'd do something like this, so I went to check and prove you wrong, but sure enough, it doesn't resolve. According to this post on CloudFare's support site, it's not their fault: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/archive-is-error-1001/182....

This is pretty impressive work for an undergrad internship.
Lets say a child born to spies grows up for 20 years in Canada, as a Canadian and has nothing to do with his/her parents spying activities. If suddenly one day they lose their citizenship, what are they supposed to do? Where are they supposed to go? Canada is the only homeland they've known. How does them getting punished for their parents' sins makes any sense?

> Mr. Russell stole a plane from the airport and flew it for about an hour before it crashed. (emphasis mine)

Wonder why Air National Guard's scrambled F-15s [0] didn't engage and bring the plane down before the individual commandeering the prop -- Mr. Russell -- brought the aircraft down with himself in the Ketron Island.

IIRC, the plane flew over several densely populated areas before going down, and I can imagine a thousand horrifically different ways this could have turned out.

Scammers have had access to Dell's customer service databases for upwards of like 3 years. I get the calls periodically and once spoke with someone from Dell's security dept. about it. It's not clear whether the databases are current or outdated, though, and it's not clear how they got them. It's definitely not as narrow as 'data from Windows based suport software' or anything, because in my case I get calls from "dell support" claiming my 4k monitor has a virus. They seem to have a full support registry (my monitor is in the database because I had to RMA it).

Sadly the nature of telecom security in the US means it's very hard to actually trace it back to them - the caller ID is always forged. As far as I know from speaking to Dell security staff they can't do anything without an unmasked number. If you get a call from the scammers try to get them to give you a callback number, because if it works it can be subpoenaed!

(IANAL) I believe the definition of corporations varies widely enough from state to state that there may not even be an answer to this question.

My understanding is that there is still generally a veil in tort law, except when the tort was committed personally by an agent of the corporation.

I hit you in a company vehicle through my own negligence, you sue me.

I hit you in a company vehicle because I wasn't properly trained, you sue me and my company.

I hit you in a poorly maintained company vehicle and the steering column failed... who knows?

Fairly simple. But all cases of tort law are not personal.

Example being the Volkswagen emission case (okay, criminal too, but let's say a citizen is suing under tort law). Who's at fault?

As soon as I (the plaintiff) lose the ability to clearly point a finger, things get much murkier. Now I have to prove participation or a handful of other caveats to pierce and sue an employee. Probably by digging through thousands of emails.

This is where I'd say from a system perspective corporations provide a de facto buffer, even if it's not a legal one. Compared to simply suing an individual, proving all of this is much more expensive. Which now can't be aggregated (why I highlighted arbitration) so costs can't be divided.

Wouldn’t a PHP app with app servers in locations in many POI then connected to azure cosmosdb essentially feel like and act like”the edge” to a user.

Nuxtjs and nextjs are “the edge” apps. But the server being centrally located especially for global ecommerce needs to go the way of the dodo.

Shopify being one. Some plus clients are near $800,000+ a year. Yet still no database or app servers outside the US.
Maybe.

On Mercury, it seems the impact that created the Caloris basin [1] may also have created a seriously busted-up region at its antipode (opposite on the planet from the impact) [2]. This may have happened due to shock waves propagating through Mercury's interior, focused by reflection at the planet's surface onto an area opposite the impact. There are alternate theories.

A few years ago, I looked into whether the Deccan Traps eruptions might have been either triggered or enhanced by similar antipodal seismic wave energy from the Chicxulub impact. Based on Earth's continental positions about 65M years ago, it seemed possible, maybe plausible. There were some papers discussing the possibility, but I don't have the data at hand.

Yeah, its one of the few that does. Even then, C# value types are immutable, and there are no value type collections (not a collection of value types, but a collection that is itself a value type). The lack of these two features means it’s not as generally useful as you might like.

> This front-layer of computing power is also referred to as "fog computing" or "dew computing".

The bit about self-driving cars talking to a server to make split-second decisions is laughable but this right here just makes you want to flip the table.

If you're requirements are so extreme that you need to be on "the edge" you can do that today, it's called client-side development.
This is the sort of race where once you get to the end, you realize you were racing against yourself. Stop comparing your blooper reel to their highlight reel. It's not healthy. I guarantee there are people envious of your life.
We (Cloudflare) have largely stopped talking about the 'edge' for some of the reasons cited in the article.

1. No one actually knows where it is or what it means.

2. It conjures images of classical ‘edge compute’ use cases like the self driving cars in the article. Those use cases tend to be exceptionally specialized (or just silly).

3. Edge implies a core or origin exists, and maybe it doesn’t need to.

We would rather imagine a world where we embed the compute directly into the network, putting hundreds or thousands of points of presence within a few ms of everyone on earth. We imaging moving all the compute and storage there, not just some fraction which needs ultra speed. If it is easy to run code close to your users, and it’s affordable, there’s no reason everyone shouldn’t run everything as close to the consumers of the Internet as possible.
You must be referring to the example in the README. That is the only example in the source code or docs that uses `import *` as far as I'm aware. But yeah, I agree. It's fixed now.

And archive.is blames CloudFlare:

But compare that answer, to the continued technical breakdowns given by CloudFlare as they tried to work out why archive.is is returning an inaccessible IP based an request IP.

CloudFlare attempted to determine why there was a problem, archive.is shrugged it off.

I did the same research because I too found it hard to believe and it's still not clear to me how the problem is not on cloudflare. They claim the upstream is misconfigured, but how then does every single other DNS provider manage to handle it correctly?

Or are they claiming archive.is is explicitly blacklisting the cloudflare IP range? If that is the case it seems odd they are claiming the upstream is misconfigured as opposed to explicitly blocking them. Something does not add up correctly.

This seems like an exercise in quickly ascertaining what kind of audience you have. If you are talking with someone who needs to feel like they are buying "the edge" or whatever, adjust your sales pitch. Also, if you start off with a buzzwordy pitch and realize you're speaking with an engineer, switch to a more technical approach.
