Right, that's what I'm saying. I was putting forth that humans are pretty random with their timings. But the truth is, they are probably not and that we all probably click in some uniform distribution.

But I am pretty sure, if you click on the images too quickly, you're going to get stopped. Slowing down your clicks, moving around a little like you're "thinking" seems to help. That's been my experience at least.

I'm personally rooting for the AI here. When the robots and crawlers become so smart to become too hard for Google to distinguish between them and humans, then we will all benefit. They are becoming smarter, which is why captchas are becoming more difficult for humans.
Even reporters through the choice of facts can give a slant.

From my little bit of investigation into rents in German cities, it seems like they're downright cheap compared to American cities now.
that sounds like a feature, not a bug. Cold calls, even without spoofed caller IDs, should be a fine-able offense.
SPF for caller ID or something isn’t a bad idea, IMO.

Fortunately for you, I did post a link which contains criminal defamation cases in the United States, which is the same level of speech liability that these examples from other countries experience.

I won't be searching for civil tort cases for you, and I did provide you a framework for how to determine this reality already. So yes, that is how this works, by understanding how the civil and criminal court system function.
Yep, when all that one has is programmer art.

Maybe to prevent bot operators from manually aquiring a human-cookie then let their bot operate for ever ?
Excellent question. I assumed that one mars minute differs from an earth minute but I just learned that they don't. Seconds, minutes and hours are universal. Hours in a day is what varies by planets, moons etc. Funny that I never thought of that before :)
So as a Blue teamer your perspective makes sense, as presumably you only work in organizations who can afford dedicated blue teams :)

Where I think most of the re/mis-use of red team tools would be effective is in the many organizations who are not yet mature enough to staff a dedicated blue team capability...

It's about obtaining some hidden information (the "flag") in a computer security context, where you're either trying to penetrate a hardened (computer) target, or reverse-engineer an obfuscated binary.

It's a constructed exercise, as opposed to a "live" situation.
Yep! They shouldn't! That's what I'm arguing :)
Apparently the N-1 never actually fired all 30 engines simultaneously before launch, so there was no way to detect plumbing issues.

Additionally, their control scheme was designed to shut down the engine opposite to any failed engine, meaning that they had very little engine-out margin in the inevitability of an engine failure.

All in all, we can (and have, with the Falcon Heavy) do much better.
not trying to be facetious, isn't that (half of) the point?

So you want compensation because your data is used along with millions of others to train an algorithm to distinguish if a bot or a real human to provide a service to you? Nice.

Very cool. Noticed they had to go down to epoll: https://github.com/eranyanay/1m-go-websockets/blob/master/3_... that seems a bit too low level. Why not spawn 1m goroutines is that not feasible?

What you're asking for is an omniscient live-stream of events. Any even where someone felt it was worth making a documentary about will be one where there's a narrative. Can you provide an example of a narrative free documentary?

1M simultaneous users of a React (or other) app, is that a decently simple case? What are some sites that have this level of activity?

As a fun aside, you can do this on localhost by defining additional addresses tied to the loopback interface:

127.0.0.2
127.0.0.3
etc.

I once had to test a piece of software that identified its connections by the source IP, so I had a script to create thousands of loopback addresses within 127.0.0.0/8 and then run against that software and verify the connections were doing what they were supposed to do. (This was on Mac OS X.)
I don't get why you'd need a physical robot arm? Just have a usb device that simulates the mouse movements. Or just software to move the mouse virtually.
Are you kidding? Your compensation is all the free apps you get (Gmail, Maps, etc.) You’ll rarely see a Captcha for a paid product once they have your cc info.
Your compensation is that you get to use the website, and the website's compensation for putting up a gate for their users is that they get to keep the bots out.
Indeed! Merely requiring that CallerID be authenticated will do little.

If they also add large fines for spoofing, with strong & rapid enforcement, that may at least reduce the onslaught of 'neighbor spoofing' calls.

They also need to add large fines with strong & rapid enforcement for violating the Do Not Call list.

With this, there might be the basis for a set of apps allowing users to add numbers to blacklists that then just get routed to the bitbucket.

It should be done at the network level by Verizon/AT&T, etc. let us subscribe to and augment the blacklists.
Easy but time consuming. I.e. not ergonomic. Also point&click UIs tend to sacrifice composability, whereas keyboard-driven interfaces tend to allow to chain operations and modifiers in a way that makes it ergonomically cover much larger space of possible workflows.
I think I drew that conclusion because you mentioned marginalization four times.

I think political orientation leads to lots of blind spots. If it is important that businesses have representation of their user-base, I think diversity of political opinion is a natural axis to consider.
There is no Google "punishment algorithm". It's just computers being dumb.
Ah yes GEMA, where it looks like the employees of let's say, "security" organizations went for retirement
The relevant difference as I understand it is the definition of "the scope of the employment".

In both states, if a professional employee figured out how to solve a work problem at 6 AM in the shower, that is clearly part of the scope of the employment. The difference is that if a programmer sits down to write some code at 8 PM, that is more likely to fall within the scope of employment in New York than in California.

This difference is on top of what the contract is allowed to say.
The idea behind going all the way down to epoll is to reduce the memory footprint by around 30%

Cloudflare is a good actor, they offer the PrivacyPass extension that basically generates 30 auth tokens from one CAPTCHA challenge and then uses those until it needs new tokens. Sadly the overwhelming majority of sites doesn't use CAPTCHA through CloudFlare but directly through Google, rendering PrivacyPass moot.

Robocalls aren't the worst part of caller id spoofing. Robocalls are basically annoyances. However, there are real scams such as the IRS scam https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-urges-public-to-stay-alert-... where people are getting called with numbers that appear to be from the government, and are losing millions of dollars.

We really need a solution to prevent number spoofing.

I'm currently trying to get better at solving CS/Math puzzles and I'd like to hear your story - what are you doing when you struggle with problems from Project Euler, HackerRank, LeetCode, etc?

Thanks for sharing! I had no idea that information sharing happened.

I have seen the FINRA question when opening accounts now that you mention it.
Google runs a very profitable ad network. People who use adblockers don't directly help support their revenue. I have a conspiracy theory that google is making it hard for people running adblock to get through captchas. I want all the code that is used by the captcha to think I'm running a pristine ad displaying browser.

I wonder if recaptcha seeing your ad cookies (and other dark tracking indicators) would be enough to help get through. Like we need a "recaptcha profile" in your browser that would have just enough fingerprint to get you through.

Robots don't watch the ads. Adblock blocks the ads. Google's revenue is mostly ad revenue. I don't think it's coincidence.
reCAPTCHA provides protections to site owners for free. By using reCAPTCHA, site owners pass the cost of said protection on to their users.

this is now an hn trope (complaining about some jargon in the title). newsflash the meaning of the title isn't "Linux reverse engineering for beginning humans that don't know anything about the universe, language, or electricity" because then you'd need to define Linux and engineering as well. the meaning of the title is always "____ thing for people that know a little about ____ thing but not everything". i think it's a very reasonable assumption on the part of the author that the only people he/she is accountable to for the intelligibility of such a title is someone who searches out the article, since after all this isn't about regattas nor is it assigned reading in some kind of primary education course. this kind of bad faith reading of these articles is beyond worthless (and certainly doesn't merit a comment). what I can't for the life of me understand is why hn is like the epicenter of this kind of pseudo-critical engagement with media - neither Reddit not Facebook has these kinds of comments nearly as often (nor the closely related "... didn't read after ___" where ___ is a word in the first sentence). my hypothesis is that it has something to do "intelligence signaling" because people wrongly believe that being critical is an indicator of intelligence.
Yes, hence why the current text has an exception for them

(They should still campaign against it though)

Except for art 11. Art 11 is shooting news orgs themselves in the foot, as evidenced by previous experiences in Spain and Germany.
> Two problems with that:

> 1. Many older patients don't use cell phones and are still on landlines.

> 2. Current processes would have to change. Currently healthcare companies first have to ask if the person picking up the phone matches name & DOB. If not, they need to ensure the person is authorized to receive the health information. This is done for confidentiality reasons (e.g. "hi your husband tested positive to $STD… oops you weren't supposed to know that, oh well have a nice day and tell him to make an appointment with us.").

Many healthcare providers now offer forms that allow you to specify the level of detail you would like for messages (typically the same form where you can add a verified contact who is eligible to receive medical information on your behalf). I was able to select something along the lines of "Leave the full details you are reporting, even if it is to a voicemail" though I can understand that that is not workable for everyone.
And PLEASE don’t break the keyboard with your bespoke (buggy) reinvention of html. Specifically Ctrl-F and the back button. Oh, and <select>s. I could go on but it’ll just make me sound grumpy.

According to https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/ssb/v75n1/v75n1p1.html we reached peak social security surplus back around 2008, and cross the line into deficit real soon now. So instead of having extra revenue that can be spent, the budget now has to take into account redemptions of special social security bonds to fund current operations. From the Social Security Administrations perspective they have years of funding because of the trust fund. From a congressional perspective its a double hit to the budget No Surplus + have to pay back redemptions now.

So this was a wonderful time to give a trillion dollar tax cut to corporations.

I do not know how you reduce the size of the state with the baby boom bubble entering retirement. The paranoid part of me thinks the secret solution will be a 1918 Influenza resurgence that disproportionately takes out people over 70. Solves Social Security and Medicare expenditure at the federal level and the pension problem at the state and local level.

Another one is "click the mountains". It typically won't let you through unless you click anything with trees on the horizon, even if the terrain is clearly flat. Google's robot thinks mountains are made out of wood, and any human who disagrees is labeled a robot. It's insanity.

Because 99% of bots on the web are spam bots. Naked email addresses are skimmed and cataloged. Any unprotected contact form will receive dozens of spam messages per day. Forums constantly get new members that only post linkspam.

There's very few friendly bots like archive.org, and those respect meta robots tags anyway.
With the prevalence of office jobs that use computers, being a developer is sort of like being an engineer in the 1960's or before but having the ability to whip up designs for simple mechanical devices that you can build for very low time and money cost, and replicate for free. It's like being the inventor of the slap-chop except that it costs so little to get items out there, that people often just do it for free. I would love it if I was doing some annoying repetitive task like mincing garlic or onions and someone said "hey, I can make that easier. Give me an hour..."

Gavin Newsom, the governor of CA, spoke about this in his State of the State yesterday: https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-aler...

This book offers one set of proposals for "Data as Labor", inspired by Jaron Lanier: http://radicalmarkets.com/chapters/data-as-labor/

And there's going to be a lot of discussion of the idea at the RadicalxChange conference in March (https://radicalxchange.org/), including with Jaron himself as well as the book authors. (Disclosure: I do the conference website as a volunteer).
This seems to be the mainstream school of design, no doubt inspired by what Apple and Google are doing.

Myself, I absolutely hate it, because it puts sellability over productivity for end users. I.e. it literally wastes people's time.
I disagree, it’s extremely common for lawyers to make strong denials to the press. Even if there’s nothing to back it up, it looks better from a PR standpoint than a “no comment” which puts the lawyer in a slightly better position when negotiating a settlement.

Was going through their instagram and noticed one of their obviously paid posts pushing the Hinge dating app:

I tried looking up the girl in the tweet to see if even that part was real and the username (https://twitter.com/dontcallortext_) doesn't exist, nor does searching "Simone Axing". So I'm guessing the entire tweet was manufactured for marketing purposes.

I guess fake tweets interspliced within other stolen content is modern marketing 101.

I think you're underestimating the pressures involved here by several orders of magnitude.

To drive the flow of fuel and oxidizer into the combustion chamber, you must overcome the pressure inside. To drive this flow, the turbopump output pressure will be of comparable magnitude to the combustion chamber. This pressure is in the realm of a few 10s of megapascals, or a few thousand PSI. This is a hard design requirement.

If you're proposing to "skip the turbopump", then necessarily you'd have to pressurize the entire fuel and oxidizer tanks to these high pressures. This is, to put it very mildly, utterly infeasible.
I'm curious by what do you mean 'old way' for the very reason exposed above.

Would you mind to give some examples?
That's fine, but it means you can't blame the sheer number of engines on N-1 to its poor performance. There is no law which forbids launching, e.g. Soyuz with 32 working from the start chambers, or Energiya with 20 chambers, or Falcon Heavy with 27 chambers successfully. It's other reasons - maybe computer control (KORD was a complex system to create), maybe metallurgy (even though NK-33, manufactured in ~1973, manage to fly after 40+ years in storage), maybe something else.

This is just to compare optimism for heavily multi-engined BFR with suggestions that N-1 was doomed just because of the number of engines.
