If the economy shrinks, everyone will get paid less one way or another. Growth has the opposite effect. You might complain about inequality, but pursuing policies that discourage growth (and maybe lead to a recession) definitely will not help. You can't just dictate higher wages, because all that does is increase the unemployment/underemployment rate.

I suspect that Starlink is, in fact, a significant CAUSE of the softening of GTO launch demand. All this LEO megaconstellations will be providing many of the same services as these long-lived, expensive geosynchronous birds, so the business case for them becomes much less certain.

If Starlink, OneWeb, etc were cancelled tomorrow, it's likely GTO launch demand would pick back up significantly.

Starlink is both the cause of and solution to this problem.

In Canada any party on a phone call can record without the consent or awareness of other parties. In the case of calling customer service, the agent you end up speaking to is very likely not the one actually doing the recording, but they are aware of it, thus they fulfill the requirements of single party consent.

You are correct that placing a camera and not being present while it records does not make you a party, but if you make it clear (verbally, signage, blinking light from a camera on your windshield) that a camera is recording in your vehicle and they choose to work on it they are a consenting party.

The law says that you cannot record where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy, but that is meant to apply to places like bathrooms, change rooms, saunas and other similar places.

1997 was exactly the Year when the game Myth The Fallen Lords[1] was released. 'til today I think is the best game ever made. Please if there is anyone who works for Bungie or whatever company owns this abandoned game, whose community have worked hard for years to keep alive, without any help from the Owner, even reverse-engineered the server, because they prefer to keep the game dead and it's tomb abandoned then release the servers code, Please guys just Open Myth already, It's been 20 years! It is considered "retro" now, did you read that headline? The community must still be alive, even. seems that there is still a multiplayer server running. And it is a damn good multiplayer game to play even today, with very good chat interface for team communication. Maybe the best I ever saw in a game. Imagine what was this for a youngster in 97 to hear the sound of the 3.6 speed Dialed Internet Conection, after a long minute of making weird sounds, finally makes the rrrrr sound that you knew it means you are on the Internet and can Play this unbelievable thing...back then it was jaw-dropping.

I'll give you another reason. VC money is geographically limited. You're essentially required to build in San Fran or NYC if you want to get your product in front of someone with the cash to fund it.

Pittsburgh has a great tech scene and a pretty good 'stable, 10 years in company' scene. It's got dick all for startups (duolingo yes there are always exceptions) because there's just no VC capital.

IMO we're mostly fine with that. It's certainly a hell of a lot cheaper to live here than San Fran.

>Growth is driven by other factors, like when a brilliant but insufferable physicist moves back home to be close to his mother [2], and is a function of individual(.)

This is true in the short term as the individuals already exist and their prior experience is already locked in. The long term problem is that of failure to create a new generation of high performing individuals, either through a collapse in birthrates (already underway for at least 1 full generation) or a failure to entice high potential individuals to participate in meaningful endeavors (arguably happening right now). Humans have a defined lifespan and their life trajectory is largely determined by outside factors even if their potential isn't.
You cannot consume more than you produce, but there is no point to producing more than you consume -- not for long anyways.

It's not that consumption is bad -- consumption is merely the flip side of production. It's what is being consumed that matters. But even frivolous-looking consumption isn't entirely bad, else we'd never consumed arts, would we? But you'll find that humans want some entertainment, down time, etc.

Of course, there is such a thing as bad consumption, demand for wasteful goods and services, and malinvestment. But consumption is no more inherently bad than is production.
The definition of "front-end" is still quite broad. There is still a large number of people doing classic front-end work which is more like HTML/CSS/little bit of JS or Jquery. This work never goes away because it's still so labour intensive to style and theme sites. But this work is certainly seen as "less difficult" and pays less.

Then you have the more modern version of the front end dev who can actually program, and writes mostly Javascript and works with API's. They have probably specialised in a framework like React and they have built some SPAS. This type of front-end work I do not consider to be less difficult and I would say often commands the same salary as backend.

Most Chinese citizens do not feel the need to go "underground".

North Korean citizens generally don't go "underground" either.

Do you think they're well informed about the world?

It's a different story in the west now, where information is generally available without the need to go "underground", so to speak - so why would be not be intent on keeping it that way? It seems that some people would like to drive things underground because it hurts their feelings. Is China the role model we're aspiring to become?

Yes thinkpads and Ethernet cable and routers and web servers (IIS and Apache Tomcat) are part of the Operational local network (OpsLan) onboard the ISS - they are used primarily for astronaut (crew) mission planning, procedures and electronic communition - systems that are deemed not to be flight critical and are not directly used in command and control of the spacecraft (think email, documents and other messaging and notification systems)

OP isn't mentioning the hundreds of freighters worth of material that init manufactured and then spirited into the wormhole over an entire year without getting caught (either in transit through multiple wormholes or from spies sniffing out what they were up to). Freighters are not dainty snowflakes, one even getting sighted would have been disastrous since it's presence would have immediately alerted hard knocks to what was going on (there's literally no reason anyone would ever run a freighter through multiple wormholes except if they were setting up for an eviction).

Goons helped put asses in seats for the week the op was going on but what init pulled off over the course of a year is astounding. It also puts the obnoxious wormholer holier-than-thou 0.0-players-are-spod-brains space obnoxiousness they've spun as long as I've played the game to shame.

I am not suggesting every client do their own mapping, that is not a naming system at all. There has to be very large consenus for a naming system to be effective. I just pointed that out to show that dns is not under any gov control. Its under a control of an entity that can be punished.

However who gets to have dnsroot is just a value of a config in DNSSEC. The value itself should not be used to criticize DNSSEC cause its changeable.

This project effectively died due to lack of interest and I still have various security concerns about it (Should you break/reimplement Same-Origin policy or break/reimplement the TLS chain of trust?)

The main security concern is that because it decentralises HTTP in-place (existing URLs can now be looked up on an arbitrary number of overlay networks if the original URL isn't providing an OK response) it puts users at risk of malicious actors spamming overlay networks with browser exploits for popular resources like "news.ycombinator.com/".

I hope TBL and co converge on satisfying answers to these problems or constrain their design to not bother with decentralising existing URLs in-situ.

I'm the above poster's cofounder that pitched this in person with YC on April 30, 2018 - exact same name and idea. I'm definitely curious if this is just innocent coincidence.
In 2005, I worked at a startup that attempted to solve the problem of privacy and security for personal information (photos, home videos, music, personal health/finance documents, contacts etc) while also providing ability to share and collaborate.

The solution involved running a mesh network with nodes on user's laptop or desktop and a corresponding node in the cloud. These nodes would index local data and provide replication of metadata across nodes and backup of actual data to cloud node.

A locally running web app acted as replacement for 'windows explorer'. It allowed the user to access all their files and folders across all their nodes, access them (open document, play music/videos, see contacts etc), create smart collections and share these files, folders or collections with other users in a secure authenticated and private manner.

User got an identity - which comprised of a dedicated domain (or subdomain) and a PKI certificate tied to that domain. Each node had it's own private key and their public keys were tied together by the identity certificate.

All communication between nodes (of same user or across users) where authenticated and encrypted using these identity/node keys and certificates. No central node existed in the system that could spy on these activities. The architecture separated the network discovery cloud nodes from your data cloud nodes and architecture allowed for your data cloud nodes to be hosted separately anywhere (say, in your own cloud instances).

This is the only system I have seen that utilized zero knowledge protocols and made it accessible to common people to manage their data and share with others as well.

But unfortunately, as a business it never took off. It got acquired by emc and merged with mozy (good old data backup company) and then this product died a silent death in 2010.

Maybe it was timing, maybe after snowden, if this product had launched it would have done well.

But now, I think a more urgent and a relatively less complex problem to solve is one of distributed communication. In this era of always connected powerful devices (mobile phones, home gateways), why don't we all have our own personal email/chat servers that nobody else can spy on? Why does email and chat have to get relayed via big aggregators who mine so much data as well as metadata?

Not only do they violate privacy, they succumb to security breaches and cause serious damages.

I feel the stage is set for this disruption: crypto protocols, always-on cheap connectivity, compute power at the edge, and sensitivity to privacy/security in general population – all of these ingredients are appropriately set right now for this to happen.

This is only somewhat true. Yes, many people with Down’s syndrome can compensate with proper tools and education. But it’s a spectrum.

Right. Canals followed topographic contours, with just ~1% slope to prevent stagnation. When topography wasn't workable, you needed either locks, or inclined planes. And for more than a few meters discontinuity, they tended to use inclined planes.

In at least some cases, they were water-powered. The uphill canal extended on a flume (like an aqueduct) which ended at a powerhouse, which housed a turbine (sometimes vertical axis).

This is Horseshoe Theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory). Commentators from both sides will vehemently defend their position and claim it to be nothing like the other side.

> Tax policy has a huge impact on growth.

I don't think this is true except at very high levels of taxation.

The taxation styles and rates of the U.S. and the E.U have been wildly different for the last 40 years, but the growth rates have been very similar.

Current: Google need to watch all CAs.

DNSSEC: Google need to watch .com and dnsroot.

Which one is better ?

Of course they can. There is literally no legal or otherwise difference between Verisign and .com. Chrome can do whatever it want, cause its Google's browser not .com's.

In case when .xxx becomes dishonest, you can just move to your own gtld or .more-trustable tld. In current system, there is no concept of ditching a CA. If a CA decided to missmap a name and you are too small, you are fked.

> it’s actually 1, or 1 AND 2

No you can have DNSSEC without CAs. I have explained that already without changing much of the tls. Basically example.com DNSSEC key become CA for example.com. example.com then would create a tls cert in the usual way. No pain.

Lua is just as dynamic as Python, yet PUC Lua is significantly faster. LuaJIT is faster still, even before it JITs the code, and doesn't have a startup penalty. And LuaJIT doesn't sacrifice anything--it's 100% compatible with Lua, including Lua's C API.

The real difference is that PUC Lua is developed by a team of 2-3 people (1-2 for the VM, 1-2 for the compiler. LuaJIT was written by a single individual who relieved himself of the necessity to design and temptation to change the language or interface semantics. Engineering complex, deeply interdependent systems doesn't scale well. While Lua is nearly as old as Python (1993 vs 1991), the Lua VM has been substantially refactored multiple times; LuaJIT at least 1.5x times. The Lua team doesn't accept outside contributions, ensuring that implementation complexity doesn't outgrow their capacity to refactor the internals as they see fit. LuaJIT is almost impervious to outside contributions. (It's not that LuaJIT can't survive without Mike Pall, it's that it can't survive without a Mike Pall-like maintainer.)

Also, the Lua C API and control flow semantics were very deliberately designed. Some people find the stack-based API to be verbose, but it's crucial in keeping the number and complexity of public interfaces low, while ensuring that C modules can fully and seamlessly leverage constructs like closures and coroutines. CPython is much more difficult to refactor because the module API and semantics are too leaky.

But ultimately it comes back to having a small, dedicated team. Larger teams tend to rely upon too many internal abstractions. It's a consequence of having to orchestrate so many cooks in the kitchen. It's not that abstractions are bad. It's that these are the wrong kind of abstractions in the wrong place in the pursuit of the wrong goals. Both PUC Lua and LuaJIT actually have beautifully consistent code with well-designed internal interfaces. Crucially, the interfaces aren't designed to avoid maintainer conflict but rather in service of the overall design and performance of the engines.
