oh yes I remember and they still use the data they collected. I lived in Vienna for 30 years and just recently moved to the country side.

There are no wifi hotspots around me so when I set up my old wifi (same ssid as before and same hardware (bssid)) and checked my phone on google maps it was saying that I still am at the old place because it had not GPS at the moment and then google maps checked the SSIDs around me and looked up where those are located

> Rooryck, who was editor of Lingua and now leads Glossa, said the most challenging aspect of starting a new open-access journal is securing funding to ensure it survives. He said Glossa is doing well and has more submissions now than Lingua did. Lingua has been described as a “zombie” journal by some scholars, but it continues to receive hundreds of submissions.

Is there a list of "zombie journals" somewhere? Would be interesting to see them all laid out.

Did a quick Google search. Found this. Is it relevant to RADIUS logs I asked above?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RADIUS
I think (and hope), that the next big thing (after https) -- will be VPNs by default.
(and independent from the internet provider service).

By default, nobody, and I mean, nobody needs to know ones home IP address, period.
And nobody needs know what sites a person visit or when.

So not only DPI should go away, but also IP address-based blacklisting/whitelisting, tracking/ advertising and so on.
I'm happy to clarify.

The American State is run by the American Government in accordance with the wishes of the American People. That's the definition of Democracy, which the American Government has trumpeted for at least 80 years, perhaps more.

The foreign policy of the American Government is chosen by American Leaders in a way that benefits the American People while also keeping the Leaders in power. If there is a conflict between the two goals, the latter goal takes precedence. Again, that is a feature of Democracy that America trumpets.

When that foreign policy goes to shit and causes misery to the rest of the world, the world blames the American Government and the American People, who represent the United States of America.

All of this is blindingly obvious.

When there was a five way debate on who would be next leader of the commission, millions around Europe watched. In the UK? We put it on BBC parliament and it was not advertised.

Everyone has a plan right now in the UK parliament. Probably over half of parliament is hoping to push the UK into a 'cancel Brexit' scenario, despite claiming they respect the referendum result. Possibly a third of parliament have given up on the prospect of a reasonable deal with the EU and are holding out for a no-deal WTO exit. A minority are still seeking a last-minute deal that everyone can agree on.

It has always been my belief that a good trade deal between the UK and the EU is only possible if the UK is actually willing to go no-deal WTO first. Simply because the EU never concedes anything in good faith when it comes to negotiations.
In retrospect, it didn't go all too well with the mandate either.
I don’t think that definition necessarily is in conflict with my point.
We went into the EEC after a referendum.

Also, we're mostly a representative democracy. That means we vote for representatives whose job it is to.. represent us. Make decisions on our behalf. etc.

I have a not so good experience with them. They cut off our internet during Christmas because allegedly our Windows XP computer was part of a botnet.

To me it looked like overzealous, self-righteous Internet policing, but OK.

I do not remember if they warned us that they will cut it off, perhaps they did.

Proving that the computer was reinstalled and virus free proved to be quite tedious. In the end I ended up cancelling them.

"no formal relationship with the EU" - anything else wouldn't really be leaving, would it? It would be partial leaving. The vote wasn't for partial leaving.
I hadn't realized this mutation testing existed as automated tooling. I'll be looking more into it. Traditionally, I've gone with "sabotaging" the code when writing unit tests; altering the code to verify a test goes from red to green or vise versa. Never trust a test that has never failed.
Every time a device joins the corp. network, it gets an IP Address (DHCP) and a network name (DNS) from our servers.

RADIUS is the authentication method for wifi. In larger offices you don't just share the same password for all users, but rather set up a RADIUS server that manages individual accounts. So every employee has their own username and password for wifi. Also called WPA2 Enterprise

It is possible that there is a second device that does a sniffing part. This device may be a relay for the second device. They could be connected via Bluetooth, hence the Bluetooth dongle.
Not sure what you're trying to say here. Sounds just like rehashing the what the mainstream western media have been drumming to tedium. If you genuinely believe that everything including Brexit and Donald trump is "caused" by Russia it's you that need to be much "better informed". If not then you're deliberately trying to deflect the focus just like what the Democrats and in general the mainstream media have been doing for all these years.

Also, the US have probably engaged in far more foreign inferences which are much more direct and violent than these events where Russia had a (shadowy) share. Ironic that now the western world are in uproar now that they are subject to some of their own classic tactics eh?

Something which I think could be helpful for the overall ecosystem, and allow both type systems to coexist and thrive, would be more attention put into tools which transpile code and type definitions between the two languages.

Exactly. The kinds of transactions that take place by the thousands (just guessing, might be off by an order of magnitude or two?) on a daily basis on AirBnB, i.e. guests giving complete strangers money over the internet in advance to stay in their homes, and hosts inviting complete strangers over the internet into their homes in the first place, simply has no chance of ever becoming mainstream on a platform like Craigslist.

This is precisely because they're the kinds of transactions that most people would never even consider to take part in without first being able to establish a certain level of trust in the other party.

I think this is probably the biggest competitive advantage for AirBnB against challengers in the space. Bootstrapping a 2-sided marketplace is hard enough to begin with, but doing so while building up a network of trust among users so they can comfortably partake in transactions with a high trust-barrier is even harder.
Yeah the link title here on HN is "How I got the home address of the person that put a RasPi in our network closet"

Which is interesting, because I double-checked and the article is actually more circumspect: "The curious case of the Raspberry Pi in the network closet
how we found, analyzed (with the help of Reddit) and in the end caught the culprit of a malicious device in our network"

They find the home address and name of the person who prepared the pi (although we don't know it was the person who installed the 'logger', whatever that is etc). And they have identified the disgruntled employee who seems to have installed it. Two separate things.

Well, let’s look at where the phrase originated and how that turned out.

If someone had bought a mainframe IBM system in 1980 to run their COBOL system over their competitor, 40 years later, they could still buy a compatible system from IBM. It’s competitors - not so much.

On the other hand, idealism has its place, but when things hit the fan because of your choice of vendors, it’s a lot easier to justify a buying decision by saying the vendor was in the second quadrant of Gartner’s Magic Square.
If you need to give a brutally honest review on AirBnB make sure you have another account standing by.
It's a shame they were stuck with DSL for almost all of the Netherlands. Fiber deployment is very limited and DSL has been inferior to cable for 10+ years.

I and most other tech-minded people I know switched to Ziggo (the largest/only cable provider) because they could provide 5-10x faster internet at around the same price. XS4All became even harder to justify than when it was just a slightly more expensive DSL ISP.
Due to your country of citizenship, I think the main option for you is to find remote devops work for a company that will take a chance on you :) A certification won't be too helpful-- you'll just need to convince the owners of a company that you can do what they need.

Alternatively of course you can marry an American and find legit corporate work as a traditional W2 employee :)

Our immigration system is horrible and a national disgrace-- I apologize that the government isn't more welcoming to you.

The Tor Foundation itself could also have been founded by Mork from Ork to hide his pornographic consumption from Orson.

I highly doubt either is true, it's probably not some conspiracy. I imagine the bulk of Tor traffic is DNM trade which intelligence agencies just aren't going to care about some 17 year old ordering MDMA for his friends with bitcoin.

That assumes you have an infinite city. However, unless you want to destroy the historical center of the city with skyscrapers, you do not have unlimited space for the housing to grow.
I think most of the time when the "if you sample points [at random] from an n-dimensional sphere" line is written/told, "using uniform distribution, where each unit volume has equal chance of being picked" is substituted in the place of "at random", and not normal distribution. I think with normal distribution you are right, and GP is mistaken, but with uniform distribution it isn't just an illusion.

I hate when people use Y2K as some sort of evidence of trumped up claims.

Y2K could have been really bad. The reason it wasn’t as bad was because people took the threat seriously and spent nearly the last 5-10 years in the 90s spending billions of dollars, and many millions of man hours preventing the worst case scenarios.

The other thing to realize is there is essentially two main players on the Dutch Internet market: ADSL (over phone lines run by KPN but any ISP can wholesale their services) and Cable (run mainly by a Ziggo/Vodafone). Cable requires a TV subscription and ADSL requires an active phone line. Both parties have invested in their network quite a bit and have triple/quad play packages (integrating TV, Internet, Phone and Cell Phone).

I can in some way understand KPN needs to slim down their offering in order to better compete with Ziggo, but this will likely bite them in the but. Another brand Telfort is also being shuttered: it's their no-support, cheap brand. Generally services sold under KPN's brand are one of the most expensive.

I have FTTH from XS4All. FTTH has unfortunately not been rolled out enough. One of the advantage is I can take just the internet line and not have to pay for a phone line or TV service I don't use. There's other ISPs that I could choose from, but Xs4all have a good package, not outrageously expensive.
I love these (and the OP article). They've actually helped me implement things in my own little toy renderer, as they helped me understand how real renderers handle their many buffers and how they combine them for the final results. For example, they helped me understand a bit better how the dept-prepass works and how modern engines use deferred rendering. I'm very much looking forward to reading the article in detail later :)

What if, instead of foreign influences, you just swap in poor economic management? I mean, China has moved from a position considerably weaker than Russia in its heyday to one that is probably stronger. So whatever mischief you think the US tried, obviously the Chinese have figured out how to deal with it. It seems to have involved a dose of freeish-markets.

> And in the 60s, promoting protest against the Vietnam war

This really takes the biscuit. Opposition to war is not evidence of a Russian plot, it is evidence of common sense. Without even considering if the Vietnam war made a lick of sense, any healthy democracy should at a minimum have some protests when it engages in a war of aggression.

> But then, in the late 80s, the message shifted to distrusting government, conspiracy theories, etc.

I don't think this affects your main point, but irony here is that "Russian Influence" is clearly a conspiracy theory. It might turn out true, as a number of conspiracy theories do, but still. Maybe the Russians have got to you :P
Good point. The original HN title did indeed imply the "gifted person" was the one who put it there. I notice the the title has now been changed to the article title.

> The installation instructions I've always followed for MongoDB start with importing a key, and adding their official repo to my source list.

Going with the maintainer's repo means that you trust the maintainer with providing security updates for the version you have installed or you trust them with providing a useable upgrade path.

If you go with a distro package, you will get both the benefits of security updates for the lifetime of the OS itself and the benefits of the underlying software not changing.

Of course it also means that you don't get new features for the lifetime of the OS.

So depending on your target usage of MongoDB, you either would want to go with the OS packages (if MongoDB is just a dependency of a dependency and you don't really care about its functionality aside of it being there) or with the vendor packages (if you're directly depending on MongoDB and you're willing to keep up to date with feature releases).

But even then, sometimes a vendor's official response to a security problem is "run apt-get upgrade to update to the latest major release" at a time when you really don't have the time to read the release notes and adopt your software to the changes in the new version.

Other vendors still provide maintenance for older releases, so it really depends on the vendor, whereas if you go with the OS packages, none of this matters.

Also, in this particular case, there's also the licensing issue to consider. I don't know whether it's safe for a company offering some service and/or application over the web to use current versions of MongoDB without paying for a license.
Yes, its a lot of small tricks and techniques that are combined and its easily understood what each step does (even if its hard to implement).
It could have consequences for other Open-Source software using MongoDB: if they rely on a database system that distributions can't include, they also won't be included.
It will affect the performance of someone trying to read your code.

The best example I can provide is my USB powered hand warmers. I do a lot of study at night and early mornings during winter. My desk is in a very large area and to keep my fingers warm enough to type I needed to warm the entire area.

I agree that, for periods of a week or more, AirBnB can be a better option but...the chances of encountering problems are significantly higher. My worst experiences thus far have all involved noisy, disruptive neighbours.

At the time I was a firmly entrenched back-end dev and was put onto this job by a recruiter and it was just up the road from the house, blissful commute through a park, not the best salary offer but that was negotiable, in short - great potential.

In the nitty gritty of the interview I found they asked me a lot of javascript questions (okay I thought, maybe they were testing my limits - they were confident in my 'advertised' back end skillset from just reading my CV?).

Turns out the recruiter had put me up for the wrong position, it was front-end and to my credit they were willing to hire me as front-end but I had other interviews for positions I'd prefer.
Google and other entities already have that data. Building open databases like wigle.net or https://location.services.mozilla.com/ seems good to me because:

1) It allows building alternative location providers that make it possible to have an Android device that doesn't rely on Google maps.

2) Publicizing the existences of these databases might make the general public more conscious of privacy and data protection issues involved.
