lack of frag/reassembly along the path is a huge huge barrier.

by now, link speed growth compared to MTU growth is a sad story. we should be jumbo everywhere.

This is a pragmatic story, I understand why my jumbo dream isn't happening in the wide.

But for anyone who direct connects to an agency like Akamai or FB or Google or (gasp) Cloudflare.. Why not up the default?

Individual loan applicants weren't defrauded though (in most cases). They knew what the monthly payments were and what would happen during possible interest rate adjustments.

It shouldn't have been a shocker to anyone making 2k a month that a 1.9k/mo mortgage was pretty risky.
I save millions of commands or megabytes of bash history, its customized for maximum values, and to persist often on both of my primary computers (workstation, laptop).

for the rest of the ~hundreds of computers I login to in a year I mostly just use default 1,000 maximum lines history of bash. I make no effort to synchronize across machines, it is helpful for me to keep them separate -- which computer it was executed on is also the computer to recall it from.

I have also considered full-time full-screen recording! I just wanted to express that using Linux professionally for 20 some years has turned me around to the opposite of extreme I began with, maybe you do not know that you are missing out on a fantastic "recall" skill :)
I've never heard nor read that exact quote from JBP. Can you at least tell me where you got that from so I can get some context?

If you're paraphrasing, please just copy the full quote.
I think pork is a very good example. In Europe, you can see millions of Jewish people or Muslims that consider pork "unclean" and don't eat them; just like we consider rats "unclean" and don't eat them but eat pork. It really doesn't make sense to think that there is single "inherent" way how people think about food.

UK and Australia are the test beds. US is the target. From there it flows onwards and outwards. Like raw sewage over the Niagara Falls.

The AU my.health opt-out debacle[1] is similar. UK got in first, promised they wouldn’t sell the data then did so. AU then started by copying the UK’s best practice. So... fun times ahead.

They’re still trying to get the gun laws fit for size in the US but the political climate and history is too different. And the attempt on the health system via Obamacare didn’t quite take either. More time needed apparently.

> “This spring, Lufthansa announced that it boarded an A380 with over 350 passengers at LAX in less than 20 minutes—less than half of their normal time—using self-boarding gates linked to CBP’s facial-enabled traveler verification service,” McAleenan said.

Lufthansa got on the PR train perhaps. Who knows? 20 doesn't sound a lot, but over many flights it starts to add up.

I think it is mostly about the international travelers just like the first sentence says:

> Some international travelers can leave their boarding passes and passports in their pockets when flying out of Dulles International Airport

They check the passports at the gate making sure you didn't swap boarding passes with someone else. For domestic travel it is usually just as you said - scan the bar code and move on.

> Yeah, but that's not unique to Google. It's a valid concern with any API or service that you don't control.

As mentioned by others Amazon seems to have a policy along the lines of "APIs are forever".
It's not really tired if your app/service was dependent on one of the ones shut down. Granted, most services/APIs have a lifecycle and won't last forever. What makes Google different/frustrating is their habit of shutting things down either in their prime (I.e when goog realizes they won't get 100s of millions of users) or well before the tail end of their lifecycle leaving those who placed a bet on said service high and dry. I view it not so much as a meme as a warning/reminder.
I can't remember a time when I boarded a plane that I didn't have to wait in a queue on the jet bridge. How does this help with that? Also, I'm constantly seeing people accidentally end up in the wrong row or seat because they misread the label up above. Invariably, everyone takes out boarding passes to sort it out.

If people are stupid enough to enter into mortgages with payments they can't afford then they shouldn't be allowed to enter into any kind of legal contract. No credit cards, no payment plans, no cell phone plans, no insurance, nothing. Honestly, they shouldn't even be allowed to choose what they eat since they aren't certified nutritionists.

Your comparison to Nigerian scammers is irrelevant because there is nothing legitimate about a Nigerian prince scam, it's just stealing money. Millions of people have mortgages they can afford and pay for them just fine.
The crucial difference here is that phone and vehicle data is something you can control - Between disabling location history, moving to a non-apple OS, and turning off your connection, there's a range of steps you can take currently to reduce or eliminate your trackable history. Ubiquitous facial identification is not something we can manage, however, and should be considered deeply concerning.

Looking for full-time work

I am a Senior QA Guy, having more than 13 yrs of experience as a QA person, testing both Web and Mobile apps, with domain knowledge of Ecommerce, Edu teach and Healthcare.

Experience: Manual and Automated testing, Selenium Webdriver, AWS, MySQL, API test automation, Jmeter, Ruby, Cucumber, Development of test framework

Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (GMT + 05:30)
At least at my company, the vast majority of bullets 1 and 2 is automated already. Financial information is calculated and fed to the financial statements automatically every reporting period, all of the recurring analysis supporting those results is generated with one button click, etc. The manual parts of 1 and 2 are centered around ad-hoc analysis when results aren't as expected, updating our automated systems when we add new products or product features, refining and adding granularity to those calculations as needed, etc.

But actuaries' main value-adds are (1) building and pricing new products and product features and (2) helping management understand the financial results and their business implications. If you're just re-pricing a commodity product like term life or home/auto insurance, a lot of the pricing can be (and is) automated. But that's where companies have started building out more complex ML-based pricing, and actuaries are heavily involved in building and steering that functionality and explaining the results.

If you can come up with a compelling way to automate a significant portion of that work while still providing results that insurers' CFOs and Chief Actuaries will sign off on, sign me up. But in general, if you're looking for automation opportunities in insurance, there's far more low-hanging fruit on the operations side than in actuarial. Same goes for finance and accounting, though to a lesser extent than operations.

We had agreed ahead of time that the interview was going to be conducted with Python. As a Smalltalker, I thought it would be quite natural in Python to just script the answer to a calculation question. My interviewers turned out to be a couple of "C++ bros." They were very bro-y in their disparagement and tones of voice.

"Already 7 inside a heptagon is much, much bigger than Graham’s number." Did I completely misunderstand that the polygon series is pretty much the Steinhaus-Moser polygons? Because Graham's Number is way out beyond what can be compactly expressed in those.

This smells of a staged PR stunt. Or, maybe "boarded" means people were all through the gate, but not necessarily on the plane?
Ouch. I didn't catch that.

IANAL, but this seems to rule out the use of this API in a number of places where it would be useful (plugin for open source photo management seems to be directly targeted etc).

I can understand why they don't want to allow me to train my image recognition software using their API, but this phrasing makes me really wonder what it is for except syncing.
> The general thesis still holds: man is not truly content without conflict and challenge.

Well, a reader of fiction is not truly content without conflict and challenge.

But I’m not sure it’s fair to extrapolate from that to a principle about how real societies can operate. After all, fiction always pumps conflict and challenge up to 11 compared to the real world. Pick a popular book or movie at random: what’s the chance that somewhere in its plot, some character tries to murder another character? I’d say pretty high. In real life, the vast majority of people go through their lives without anyone ever trying to kill them, and that’s probably been true for most or all of human history. But that doesn’t make life incurably boring.
And inbound is only because they have installed kiosks that they guide everyone to. Otherwise if you go to a CBP agent they don't take your photo if you're a US passport holder. The kiosks are an end-run around tradition/rules about how CBP can treat Americans.

What this is for: Using private industry to build a facial database that can later be obtained by the government via subpoena, further proving that individual rights are a joke as long as we the people allow corporations and government to work so closely together.

And just to drive home how complete the control is becoming, I am limited to only one post a day here. Dissenting voices are being driven from the Internet. God help us all if they succeed at suppressing speech completely--it will be just like China.
What about phasing out the usage of offensive terms in the same way we do with non-programming languages? We don't go back and correct all of our books, but when reading old books the offensive terms that were common in previous times stick out like sore thumbs. And I know that I have at least a few phrases that I used to use without a thought that I conciouslly chose to drop from my speech now that I see the wrong in them. I think we can choose to change as a community with little overhead to the "many" but provide a great benefit to the "few".
I refer to S/Kademlia's idea to define the number of consecutive 0s in front of the NodeID as difficulty and to impose a minimum limit on the difficulty of the NodeID allowed to be stored on the DHT. As the S/Kademlia paper said, they just use the PoW NodeID way to obviate Eclipse Attack(Make Kademlia Network Fork), Sybil Attack(Fake Nodes), Churn Attack(Frequently Join & Leave), Adversarial Routing(Spread Bad Route).

Adversarial Routing is a bit related to DOS Attack you described. As the DHT is a gossip protocol organized network, maybe some Peer Rating stuff with PoW NodeId will work out an intergalactic-internet scale DHT. Just a well behaved proper difficulty NodeID will be trusted to spread more NodeID routing info.
You enforce the social contract socially: by refusing to deal with people who do not respect it. In an anarchy, everyone has that option; and therefore people who do not respect the social contract quickly find themselves ostracized and powerless.

What if people don't want your particular kind of social contract? What one sees of anarchists on the street in 2018, is that they not only ostracize, they do much worse. They enact power over those they disagree with using vandalism and violence. Over social media, they engage in toxic speculations and lies. As it plays out today, it seems to be a philosophy indistinguishable in its effects from, "Two wrongs make a right, so long as it's for us, the chosen people."
I solved the login annoyance with a greasemonkey script but it's still useles because every time i find an interesting image is either what you said or the image links to another "pinboard" or whatever is called then another and another and the image is always the same but surrounded by weirder unrelated stuff. My wife loves it though.
To say that a boarding pass is “something you have” in a security sense is absurd. I can print your boarding pass merely by knowing your name and where you’re going. A biometric check (backed by a paper ID check) is a dramatic security upgrade over that.

It looks like range-diff is a little bit different than git log --patch A...B . It say it's "[...] a tool for comparing two sequences of commits, including changes to their order, commit messages, and the actual content changes they introduce."

So it's a bit like comparing two separate git log --patch outputs for differences/similarities, and it does it in a semantic way (it knows the difference between commit messages, content changes, etc.). The log --patch would just give you every commit that differs at all from either branch, and all their changes.

I could see this being a very common part of my workflow potentially. Off the top of my head I think I'll be using it to verify that a rebase -i did the actual changes that I meant it to, and no more.

(just for clarity: two dots, git log --patch A..B, would just give you the log of commits with changes in that single range, three dots does the same for commits in either A or B but not both)

I believe everyone in this sub-thread has used "CA" to mean the SF Bay Area plus greater Los Angeles (and certainly I have). Similary, "NE" was just shorthand for the big cities therein, not the whole region.

It is indeed cool that Hackily is near Reicha; he would have loved it (and Hacker News, for that matter). Music notation software has been ripe for disruption for a while. The problem is that for what most people want to do the interfaces are too complex and slow to learn.

The problem seems to be getting worse because of the desire to make possible the notation of as many far-fetched extreme cases, rather than making the core use as simple as possible.

Imagine if you were to use Finale or Sibelius (two of the best known) as a novice. Imagine you were JS Bach trying to write his first Prelude from Book one of the WTC with the software. The patterns should be faster to notate.

A tough problem, admittedly, but an important one to solve for future generations of young musicians learning the craft. Writing music by hand is still easier for simple pieces, for solo instruments.

The problem is that a large number of unfunded obligations will probably come due at roughly the same time. We all know that our infrastructure is starting to crumble, but the problem is that every single bridge that needs to be rebuilt either represents a future debt to fund the construction, or a willingness to abandon the economic activity that the infrastructure (hopefully) enables.

The worst case scenarios is that Social Security, Medicare, some state pensions, and our infrastructure will all hit the breaking point at once. At that point we will need to make some deeply unpopular changes, and it's unclear if our political system has the will or the coherence to pull it off.

If we're lucky, these systems will begin failing sequentially within the next few years, rather than all failing together.

Do you mean virtualization?

If so, I recommend looking into testing this with SR-IOV based NICs and passing through a VF to the guest. Even in regular operation the latency difference between bare metal and an ixgbevf virtualized NIC all but disappear into levels well below anything that would be meaningful for voice communication.

Moving to a DPDK based poll mode driver would reduce the latency differences even further.
