Fuzzing is effective for more than finding memory related bugs. Parsing related crashed, code injection, unexpected state machine path can all also be revealed.

Beside, as much I agree with the benefits of a memory safe language, and I do believe in the urgency of promoting techs like rust, C and C++ are going to be part of our lifes for a lot of time.

If you gotta use knife, make sure you have the tools to make it sharp.

> In school we were strictly taught the market is efficient and I fully believed that. But I've seen online and discussed in person a (seemingly) growing idea that markets are not in fact efficient at all.

I can tell pretty much everything I need to know about a person based on which one of these ideas they would say or defend.

Always lots of new ideas and theories that hope to reduce the participants in a market down to an explainable behavior.

But there are lots of ways to extract value from a market, which is more important than the debate around "already 'efficient' or not".
Hidden in this article is perhaps an explanation for the monstrous hyperinflation of house prices that has occurred since the early 2000s. (The housing bubble corrected in 2008 but has since at least partly re-inflated, so it never really ended.)

What is that you might ask?

The PATRIOT act's KYC/AML regulations didn't apply to real estate!

As a result loads of dodgy money flooded into real estate. Most of the direct money laundering activity was at the high end but I'm sure it affected the whole market. It also probably helped inspire the creation of those collateralized bundles of real estate debt that banks marketed so aggressively in the 'oughts and that had the follow-on effect of causing a market-wide housing bubble. It was a way for banks to indirectly use real estate to receive dodgy money and skirt AML requirements.

This is important because real estate hyperinflation is one of the things destroying the middle class. Perhaps closing the KYC/AML loophole around real estate would go a long way toward fixing the problem. I wonder if this might be an even easier (and federal level) thing to accomplish than local and regional YIMBY activism, though the latter is obviously also important in some metro areas.

I also think this kind of dodgy money largely explains the cryptocurrency bubble and why cryptocurrency continues to float at absurd valuations in spite of declining interest and increasing skepticism from the greater tech and user community. A lot of people think it's fraud on the part of things like Bitfinex/Tether, but I wonder if the money isn't largely real. It's just dodgy and dirty money.
It is a well known fact. The 747-8 and A380 have collapsed in terms of new orders and both companies have acknowledge they lack a way forward.

To quote Boeing president of marketing Randy Tinseth:

> We don’t see significant demand for passenger 747-8s or A380s

The last major order for the 747-8 (28 aircraft) was in 2016 and 2014 for the A380 (13 aircraft). Enough to keep production alive for another few years, but after that it is unclear. And even then many of those are for cargo/freight, not people.
This is why I'll never use the Google Cloud. Sorry my business does not move as quickly as your decisions.
Python is great for writing glue code, so I'm not particularly surprised by the language choice.
But its MOST common use is for furthering the hilarious feud between Stuart Semple and Anish Kapoor.
I'm sure Google Fiber works fine in cold weather, but fiber optic cables buried in city roads in a two inch trench covered with a flexible rubber gasket have demonstrably poor resiliency to snow, ice, salt trucks and freezing temperatures.
> It just seems to me quite wasteful that there are so much telco infrastructure is duplicated (redundant): For example digging along the same street more than once to lay fiber. Or have cellular towers from different companies next to each other.

That was the basis of a lot of early 20th century regulatory thinking. That was thoroughly discredited because it turns out that government price controls are worse than duplicated infrastructure.

Governments only have an incentive to keep prices low, which is not the same as the economically efficient price. From the government’s point of view, it’s better to have cheap 3G networks forever than to have prices that lead to investment into 4G and 5G networks. Low prices kill innovation, which is why all the innovation is happening in IPhones and Macs and Surface tablets and not cut-rate Acer and HP products.

MVNO pricing is not set by regulators. The FCC’s last major foray into rate regulation, in connection with DSL loop unbundling, ended up killing DSL as a viable competitor to cable because wholesale prices were set so low there was no incentive to upgrade DSL networks.
I'm curious how much physical infrastructure Google Fiber is leaving under streets. In Louisville were they using someone else's fiber or will there be actual dark strands under Louisville now?
I'm not sure data caps are a disease, as such. It costs money to move data around. Caps on "unlimited" deals are obviously a dodgy sales technique, but I don't think that's what's being discussed.
c should not be a char or unsigned char, because the return type of getchar() is "int". If you put it into a char-width variable then you lose the distinction between EOF (which is -1) and the byte 0xff. Getting the type of 'c' wrong is quite a common bug, because the API makes it an easy mistake to make. In this case, if you look down at the eventual transformed code in the "Evaluation" section you'll see that 'c' is indeed correctly declared with 'int' type.
10 years ago I would have jumped at the chance to sign up for Google Fiber. Today they could not pay me to use the service.
Blimps were never like that. The modern understanding of blimp travel is based on a handful of hollywood movies, the filming of which came nowhere near any real blimp.

The amount of helium/hydrogen necessary to lift a small apartment is immense. Then, if you are going to spend day in the air, all the water. It would almost certainly easier/cheaper/cleaner to provide a similar service inside a jet for a few hours than inside a blimp for a few days. So if you cannot afford the jet today, you wouldn't afford the blimp either.
I believe that's what they are saying, too. I think it's flat-out wrong.

If you and I are both working stiffs, and we both have $50 left at the end of the month, and you buy some beer, and I buy a used sewing machine so I can take sewing jobs in the evening, then I'm a capitalist and you aren't. That doesn't make us of different classes, though, (except that I may be mentally at a different place than you are).

getchar() returns an int to accommodate 257 different values: all byte chars + EOF (typically -1).

The code snippet itself is run length encoding with 0xff as an escape.
Not really, data limits are a necessary evil of infrastructure.

It's more the trust-building that's going on between the giants of industry. It's the 1920s all over again, just with different tech.
Anecdotal: we're counting at 7 hours since any availability, SouthEast US, and limited availability on the West Coast, US.
I'm aware of net neutrality, but I'm simply asking what recourse we as consumers have.

The current FCC may be too industry friendly, but it will not be that way forever. We, as consumers, need to continue to fight against these monopoly providers that are harming us.
"That’s because we were trialing a lot of things in Louisville, including a different type of construction method — namely, placing fiber in much shallower trenches than we’ve done elsewhere."

Read as: We messed around with your street infrastructure using untested construction methods, and it didn't work very well so WE OUT PEACE. You know what they say, fail fast byeee!
Another example would be Alastair Reynolds' Poseidon's Children series; unlike the rest of his novels, which are generally extremely grim, it takes place in a sort of flawed utopia. A lot of people dislike it for this reason.
That’s not great either. It leads to a lowest common denominator approach, because government is over senisitive to affordability. That’s what happens with our water and sewage systems. Rates are about half of what they need to be in order to adequately maintain and upgrade that infrastructure. The result is kids being poisoned with lead and raw sewage being dumped into rivers. But nobody in an elected position wants to raise water rates on grandma with her fixed income.
I'm not sure there's value in debating that. It is a hypothetical blimp that doesn't exist.
>For example aluminum when new designers were using composites

The A380 makes pretty extensive use of composites. It's only conservative in this respect compared to the Dreamliner.

In theory you don't get the course support, though I doubt anybody is ever going to say "No race number, no Gatorade for you!"

I'd feel weird about it: they put a lot of effort into closing the roads, coordinating volunteers, getting the water ready, etc. But if I were broke I'd probably put that aside.
Those are about the collapse of civilisation, and it's a pretty nasty civilisation; I'm not sure how optimistic they are.
Cops won't always give you a ticket for "driving over the speed limit" either. Sometimes, if a cop is letting you off easy, they will give you a smaller fine like "disobeying traffic signs" or something similar. Each has a different minimum. I think they may also vary from state to state.
First, I really like the idea behind this. All the babel rollup typescript stuff is a big mess when trying to publish a package.

That said, I feel like the authors made some choices that make their lives easier at the cost of having shipped a virtually useless tool. For example:

- The standard typescript builder can only generate ES2018
- The web bundler can only generate ES modules

These two together means that your package won't work on anywhere but the most modern browsers and Node versions, except if your package's users somehow configure their Webpack (or whatever) to run your module through Babel (totally beating the purpose of all this). This is exactly the kind of complication I'd want tools like these to solve for me.

Sure, there's a place for the "this will only work on cutting edge environments", but i'm not sure a tool intended for publishing reusable libraries is that place.

Additionally, a core feature I miss is the ability to have different entry-points for different environments (eg one for node and one for browsers). My library uses the DOM for some heavy lifting and imports JSDOM on Node for that - I'd not want to ship JSDOM to the browser and bloat the download for no reason.

Hope all this improves, I could see myself using this.
A lot of Star Trek comes really close to being "fantasy with ray guns" too, let's be honest.

Even if you use Rust (or other memory safe(r) languages), you still have a variety of failure modes that they don’t protect against, with which fuzzing may be helpful: poor resource handling (e.g. massive memory allocations), logic problems in program, busy loops, all kinds of assertions, exceptions, etc. triggering of which may lead to DoS, or other undefined behaviors. Sure: not as critical , depending your threat model , as remote code execution, but things that should be found and fixed from any code base that is part of something that people use.
That's a false analogy.

CD's are not going to become popular again to listen to music because "pendulums swing".

When a trend is clearly going toward increased comfort or clear progress, there is only one direction that the trend is going.

I argue that statically typed languages are headed in that direction and that in ten, twenty years from now, dynamically typed languages will be looked at as "something that seemed like a good idea at the time".
Quick Reflection on Michael Lewis' The End of Wall Street
Vulkan is actually intended as a stack for compute, not just graphics. That's probably our best chance for a cross-platform approach to GPU compute that can work roughly equally well on NV, AMD and the upcoming Intel GPU hardware.
I'm in Kansas City and have Google Fiber. I don't really know how cold Louisville can get but I can tell you that we got pretty gosh darn cold (10-20 degrees below 0F) last week during the Polar Vortex freeze. And we're going to be flirting with those temps again this week. But to answer your question, I have not noticed any disruption or degradation of my service as a result of the cold temperatures.

EDIT: As others have said, I think the problems in Louisville come more from shoddy installations thus making them more susceptible to extreme weather rather than 'fiber not working in cold weather'.
Now if they can only breed taste into them. This fish is mostly tasteless, and the novelty of being dangerous is the reason for its consumption.
A simple thought experiment:

The Efficient Market Hypothesis states that every asset is fairly priced, because anything that CAN be known about it has been ALREADY factored into the calculation of price.

That's like walking down the street, seeing $20 and thinking, "Nah, if there was money on the ground someone would have picked it up ALREADY".

Markets trend towards Efficiency, they are not in themselves efficient
This. Literally overnight, you'd see a 100%, 200%, or even more, increase in speeds. Unfortunately with those market pressures gone, companies will go back to not caring after this...
This is the type of reasoning that startups use to justify making employees work 60+ hour weeks for a tiny amount of equity and below-market pay. Most startups will not become billion dollar companies.
Explain my four-year-old hearing chords played on a piano by the teacher, and able to tell the notes that made up the chord. First 3-notes, 4, 5, 6 and he was still able to do it.

Sure the labels are learned. But the ability to hear all that is spread out over a bell-curve. The whole class could tell 1 note, 1/3 could tell 2, then 2 kids could tell 3, then just 1.
Living Alone Can Be Deadly
Well, that's the issue - even with google fiber around, it was the corporate version of plutocracy. Functional triopoly? I'm not sure what to call it.

I expect Comcast rates will shoot up now that another player has left the field.
after reading this article, i have come to view zero-rating as a form of branding. basically, the internet providers are trying to take a step away from the forces of commoditization. once i viewed it that way, it's pretty predictable that the price for the same exact service will be higher than if zero-rating were disallowed.
I doubt they'll roll back speeds. Instead they'll increase the cost of the higher speeds significantly.

"Deaths put e-scooters in spotlight"

The fact that one of the most recent deaths of an electric scooter was caused by a collision with an Uber car is not relevant in any way (nor that the scooter was a Lime), nor justfies editing the title.

The article is about the allegedly relevant safety risks in using these electric scooters, with a high rate of accidents (and no actual meaningful data on deathly ones).
that's so sexist!
yes, and? I don't have perfect pitch, but with extensive training I have limited relative pitch. It's an acquired skill like anything else, and young kids exposed to music pick it up faster- with a distribution, like everything else.
>Efficiency as “Its very hard to arb markets without risk better than a passive strategy” is very true

Isn't that the best we can hope for though?

The inefficiency is basically not knowing how to price something, which on some level is always true. At the moment a giant meteorite strike is priced at a level that is probably wrong? Tomorrow the meteorite will or won't strike and tell us which way we were wrong.

Essentially outperformance is down to being quicker on the trigger.

Edit:
Or as you say, guessing whether the meteorite will or won't strike.
Yeah, you had lots of competition among DSL ISPs that got loops at cut-rate wholesale prices, along with wholesale prices so low it killed any incentive to invest in DSL networks. See: http://www.pff.org/events/eventpowerpoints/022207BrusselsCom...
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

That's a picture of a road post-fiber install. The groove is where the fiber was placed. That black snaking rubber was what they sealed it with.

Now imagine that, but across their entire service area.
Mind if I ask a poll question- Do you believe 'markets grow at 7-13%/yr, over 10 years'

I've been taught this like its a fact.
You can take the example of nVidia Titan Xp (GPU that targets ML, scientific computing market) and Google TPUv2.

- Titan Xp has single precision power of 12 TeraFlops in boost mode.

- A Google TPUv2 device claims a power of 180 TF (consisting of four TPUv2 chips, of 45 TF each).

So I guess by dwarfed, I mean 6.67%
I understand where you're coming from, but don't actually think this is true. Quite a few of our best companies had difficult times raising their As - they were often too early or too different or too little of a pattern match to what investors wanted at that time.

Preemptive offers can be a signal that what you're building is working, or it might be a signal that you're good at fundraising.
Cruising speed in an A380: 560 mph (900 km/h) [1]
Cruising speed of the Hindenburg: 76 mph (125 km/h) [2]

That's a multiplier of 7.2, though the shorter the flight the more pronounced an airship's time to reach cruising speed and come back down from cruising speed will factor into the overall ratio. And this assumes we can't make airships go faster than the Hindenburg (is 155mph/300km/h unreasonable?).

The book that changed me was All the light we cannot see by Anthony Doerr. This book was so beautiful and haunting.

Set in occupied France during World War II, the novel centers on a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths eventually cross.
I'm disappointed that the fact it will break things only got a mention, and yet the browsers are pushing for using DoH via cloud providers.

My NAS isn't externally resolvable; after all, it's not externally reachable either. And now I have to refer to it by IP address because the Chromecast insists on using Google's DNS servers.

People seem to be unwilling to address known issues before switching defaults :(
A lot of dial-up ISPs (at all levels) went bankrupt and disappeared back around the turn of the millennium.

I don't know where this expectation comes from that you should be able to pick a service provider and then use them until the end of time. Hell, it's harder to change your primary bank than to change your ISP. Businesses disappear all the time. Every time I move I go through the same hassle of scheduling an installation of new Internet service.
Star Trek are basically Greek-style morality plays. They could as well be e.g. Aesop-style fables in most instances. And they adopt traditions of Greek theatre of clearly signposting the characters through appearance without worrying the least bit about hitting the viewer over the head with it.

Less so in the newer series, but TOS, TNG, Voyager and DS9 very much follows a structure of setting a scene, introducing a conflict that at it's core is usually based around a simple dilemma of morality or ethics, and having a part of the resolution be a dialogue that explicitly addresses the dilemma.
I agree. Some of the most successful companies became that way because they told us we "needed" their products, usually by clever marketing.
Wait a minute, think about what you are talking about here for a second! :-)
I wouldn't be surprised if the store eventually meets a similar demise to the "MakerBot Store" on Newbury street in Boston did a few years back.

Really cool stuff, just nobody ever really seemed to have a reason to buy anything of reason in the store.

I bought filament for my home-built 3-d printer there maybe once - only because it was higher quality than what MicroCenter carried and was a color I'd otherwise have to order.

But obv most people in the store weren't buying $2k 3d printers - anyone who happened to already own a 3d printer knew that MakerBot's tech was garbage.
And Go isn't memory safe given race conditions.

If you're using goroutines you may want to consider fuzzing with the race detector.
LOL this is true, but kind of off the mark... given that the whole point of this movie is to augment low quality movie footage with post-processing.
The words are the same, but cause and effect have been reversed.
How much of this is due to in places with cheap wireless offering zero rating won't be as effective at attracting customers as it would be in a place with expensive wireless, hence you are more likely to see it offered in places with expensive wireless?

For instance, T-Mobile's "Music Freedom" zero-rates a whole bunch of music streaming services. In the US, where data is expensive, that could easily cause someone to pick T-Mobile over one of the other providers, if they listen to a lot of music. With "Music Choice" I can get by on the smallest data plan. Without it, I'd have to step up, maybe even to unlimited.

In a country where data is cheap, something like "Music Freedom" wouldn't make much difference, and so I could see less ISPs bothering with the technical and administrative overhead of having such a program.
the term presumably is used because at that point it was not a choice. Many women may have been happy with it, but there was scant alternative for those who were not.

The difference comes in what they do with it. In Star Wars they "just" pursue the interests of the characters, and the focus is on the excitement, while in most of Star Trek the resolution of conflict is about solving some moral dilemma.

They're very similar in that the tech is mostly veneer, but they're very dissimilar in why the details of the tech doesn't matter.
