That's nice and all, and I don't doubt it, but in this instance, that cultural memory is (ironically) leading Germans to use inferior cryptography, and isn't serving them well.
I don't understand where any of this comes from. The US has profited greatly (financially, strategically, (geo)politically) from basically owning Western Europe as a base of operations in that part of the hemisphere. It wasn't an act of generosity to form NATO. It was a calculated plan to ensure America's global hegemony, from which we've all benefited (for better or worse).
From the executive summary (for others):

> ...its assessment of the exposures and effects due to the nuclear accident after the 2011 great east Japan earthquake and tsunami... It had concluded in that report that, in general, doses were low and that therefore associated risks were also expected to be low. A discernible increase in cancer incidence in the adult population of Fukushima Prefecture that could be attributed to radiation exposure from the accident was not expected. Nevertheless, the report noted a possibility that an increased risk of thyroid cancer among those children most exposed to radiation could be theoretically inferred, although the occurrence of a large number of radiation-induced thyroid cancers in Fukushima Prefecture—such as occurred after the Chernobyl accident—could be discounted because absorbed doses to the thyroid after the accident at Fukushima were substantially lower. It had also concluded that no discernible changes in birth defects and hereditary diseases were expected and that any increased incidence of cancer among workers due to their exposure was expected to be indiscernible because of the difficulty of confirming a small increase against the normal statistical fluctuations in cancer incidence. The effects on terrestrial and marine ecosystems were expected to have been transient and localized.
It's a funny statement when you think about it

> the gun misses its target if it's too hot

What does 'too hot' mean? Too hot... to do what? How do we define 'too hot'? Too hot to hit its target? Well that's tautological then isn't it - a rifle that is too hot to hit its target will not hit its target.

Presumably all rifles at some point get too hot to hit their targets, because at some point they're going to simply melt. So all rifles miss their targets when they get too hot. If they're not missing their targets then they're not too hot are they?

I guess what they mean is that the rifle starts to miss its targets at a lower temperature than other rifles, but that's not what they said. It's one of those statements that seems to make sense on first reading but then when you really think about what it says, it doesn't say anything and you could say it about all rifles and be truthful.
That makes sense, more of an administrative optimization around thw current conditions than an administrative failure.

OTOH, that makes it an unstable thing to build a business model on expanding, since the more significant it becomes with entities other than credit card firms exploiting it as a marketing and loyalty tool, the less it remains the case that it is efficient to let it slide.
I have had pick up points on ramps of highways which I am describing as dangerous. As you can see this is not a danger I would face on public transit.
I don't know whether this is necessarily the cause of your issue, but I discovered one reason why it doesn't always work. On mobile Safari, iOS ends up inserting smart quote characters rather than straight quotes when you type them. Google ends up ignoring the smart quote characters. To work around this, I have to hold down the " button to explicitly make the keyboard insert the straight quote character.
So essentially you just need to put your gRPC agent in a linuxkit image with access to the containerd socket? That’s how the docker in docker/kubernetes examples already work for LinuxKit.

I am not sure what exactly you mean by “does not allow host level access”, the benefit of linuxkit is you can configure the software that needs to run in the root namespace, or not, aside from every process generally having a mount namespace.

The real benefit (imo) of LinuxKit is the familiar declarative manifest model for image definition, and container configuration. As a by product, it’s really straight forward to have reproducible builds.

This is very unlikely.
I'm not sure Google knows either. "Smarty city" just smacks of vague buzzwordy-ness idealism. What is it exactly? Are you just going build some condos and stick some wifi around? How is that really different than any other modern city?
Because it is better. You don't get sound cryptosystems from configurable, flexible things; flexibility is the mortal enemy of cryptographic soundness. That's how "this blogger" "not see" that this isn't better.

This isn't some fringe belief among hipster cryptography engineers (among which I'm sure George counts himself). You can read it straight out of _Cryptography Engineering_.
Totally agree about the higher sign up bonuses.

Though they are really offering higher driver pay for a limited time on signup. To compete I'd just offer that higher driver pay all the time by taking less fees than Uber. Not correcting you or anything, just embroidering.

Over 10 years or so, this devolves into the taxi business, which without medallions is very low margin. [1]

If a couple dollar difference is that big of a deal, you need to focus your effort on making more money, not switching to a cheaper alternative. The problem is not Uber raising prices, it's you wasting time commuting to the wrong job. I mean this in a good way, not trying to be rude.
Shopify started not just splitting the login, but also redirecting to another domain for the password entry. This leads to the situation, that the password manager can not find the correct password anymore as the login domain is not visible during password entry.
That's why I asked if that 99.999999999% durability number includes datacenter loss. It's an unlikely failure mode but is it .00000000001% unlikely? I don't know.

Given the fact that Azure lost a datacenter with this failure mode, I don't think it's in the "likelihood of an asteroid destroying Earth within a million years" ballpark.

Their durability page doesn't really clear it up, they say "Because at these probability levels, it’s far more likely that ... Earthquakes / floods / pests / or other events" known as “Acts of God” destroy multiple data centers". But from the post above: "any one file (or piece of file) is in exactly one datacenter."

So it doesn't take multiple datacenter failures to lose data, just one unless you explicitly copy your data to multiple datacenters.

As for choosing non-fiction books, pick one that really ticks the fancy. Then follow into what falls naturally next. Unless a person develops some intuition and freedom in this matter it's always gonna be an anxiety-driven ride through the content river.

Again, it doesn't debunk it because the claim isn't "Current content blockers are not performant", it is that the API allows extensions to do things which cause performance issues, and there's a long tail of extensions that use this API and do create human noticeable delays. If you cherry pick performant examples and then try to debunk the whole landscape, it simply doesn't work.

I can attest that the blog post is accurate, at least for the Dat protocol. We used the BitTorrent mainnet DHT for a while, but results were so bad that we retired it and fell back to our tracker.

I also find it interesting that the "China Syndrome"[2] speculation is pretty much completely debunked.

That term was never meant to be taken literally, in the movie where it originates it is presented as a fanciful exaggeration meant to emphasize the seriousness of the risk. The actual plot concerns the risk of groundwater contamination following a nuclear accident, not a planet-piercing tunnel.
To be clear, Castle Wolfenstein and its sequel were written by Silas Warner and published by Muse Software, which went out of business in 1987 after going through Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Agree with the need not to editorialize, but that is indeed what the article is about. The entire impetus for measuring the performance impact of ad blockers is to disprove one of the two cited reasons for Manifest v3, namely that there are real-world measurable performance benefits to preventing ad blockers from intercepting web requests.
Hello everyone -
I’m a hardware / software engineer and I mostly work on IOT medical devices for small companies / startups.

When testing my prototype devices, I found I spent too much time setting up test equipment to acquire basic data. I made my own data acquisition device – totally focusing on ease of use – to fix this.

I made a small batch of Beta devices to share with my fellow engineers. Contact me at info@trendeca.com if you would like one. We will find a price that works for you.
> Why do people here think it is a bad idea?

Because in the US, is is not a proven model. The vast majority of public-private partnerships really end up being "public eats the costs, but private entities win all the benefits". It's gotten to the point that the mere existence of the phrase "public-private partnership" is a red flag that something corrupt is happening. (If it was a good faith effort and all above board, then it would all be done publicly in the first place).

> it saves govts. from spending large money upfront and not only ensures that private corporations finish the projects but also makes them liable for quality as they are liable for future maintenance.

Sure, but it usually accomplishes this by transferring some amount of public assets over to the private corporation in the process, which is a net loss for everyone. It's a backhanded way of looting the public's funds under the veneer of "progress" and "cooperation".

Or for a simple analogy, public-private partnerships are usually the governmental version of a reverse mortgage.
I’m not sure why you’re taking a discussion about a 4.9 acre “smart city” and conflating it with purchasing all of Toronto. The “company town” nature of the place doesn’t require it to be all of Toronto after all, if that’s where you live and work.
Dynamic rule addition addresses a very small number of complaints with the proposal.

Beyond the ability to block requests conditionally based on arbitrary logic (not just a few pre-decided qualifications like request size), one point I want to keep coming back to is that there are actually legitimate reasons why an extension might choose to slow down requests. I use Tampermonkey scripts on a couple of social networking sites deliberately to slow them down so I'll that I'll be less likely to impulsively refresh them.

I continue to believe that the manifest changes aren't written with the perspective of enabling creative, unseen uses of the API in the future. They're written from the perspective of, "let's decide up-front what extensions we want, and enable specifically them."

The feedback people have given on this is extremely broad, and is mostly ignored by this post. It's disappointing to see a response that at least somewhat suggests the Chrome team is dead set on shipping this, and is only willing to bend so far as it takes for them to enable the most popular adblockers that exist today. If it took that much feedback to get Chrome to even slightly tweak the design, then what possible feedback can people give going forward to make anything more significant happen?

I would normally agree but the difference could be around $5 each way for 250 work days a year. A few thousand dollars a year is quite a lot.
Since when was energy density ever been a problem for grid storage? Even in the most crowded cities on earth it's not a constraint.

Unless you are talking about portable applications it's all about round trip efficiency and cost, I'm not sure if you are getting confused about terms here or talking about an entirely different subject.

Compressed air efficiency isn't great. Using it for cooling lowers the efficiency even more.

Crane and rail gravity storage are pushing 80-90% round trip efficiency.

> It might be the case these adblockers are well written but you can't guarantee that for all extensions. If a user doesn't have an obvious way to know it's the fault of an extension then Chrome gets the blame.

It has been suggested in another comment that Chrome could give visual indications of the performance of extensions. They already do some of this to track the memory used.
> "...it’s not is the cheapest and most convenient climate-controlled shelter for the city’s destitute mentally ill."

i can appreciate this point, but you're still insinuating that destitute people are bad, rather than realizing the complexity of the human condition as embodied in that other living being.

why not try to find and express some empathy, or even just some sympathy, for these folks? is there any gain for you to further put them down this way? are you so afraid of the homeless that you need to make sure random people on the internet don't associate an anonymized you with them?
One thing I have learned since having kids is how resilient and accepting they are of the concept of death. Our boys were quite young when they lost their grandfather (my dad) and their grandmother (my wife's mum) to long term illness.

When talking to them about it, they were surprisingly pragmatic about the whole thing, and they even shifted the conversation to our own (my wife and I) mortality and the fact that we wouldn't be around forever.

I think it is a far healthier approach, and it helps the grieving process. I recall even in my childhood when my parents hid the facts that the family dogs had passed etc. - I always had some residual resentment towards them for that - the fact I couldn't say goodbye properly or that they thought I was too emotionally ill equipped to deal with it.
Thanks for the interesting read! Just right off the bat, I’m a little cautious of benchmarks done by Ghostery that happens to show Ghostery is incredibly fast. Not that anything else stood out to me as suspicious, just a comment. Perhaps they are The fastest _because_ they are benchmarking and have fixed bottlenecks.

Beyond all that, I’m a huge fan of ad blockers and use them as an attempt to reduce tracking and targeting and it’s abundantly clear to me that they greatly speed up many webpages. The amount of junk that so many sites load, no doubt it even saves me data on my data plan.

It seems like common sense to not trust a company whose main income is based on advertising to be making decisions on ad blocking.
It is indeed. Magic Wormhole implements a PAKE to individually encrypt and authenticate a secure channel without requiring any other root of trust. It's exceptionally easy to use and secure.

whats my point here? my point is that weve deluded ourselves into thinking we have architectual taste when really all we have is nostalgia on a societal scale. whatever buildings were most cost effective to make during high times eventually become the definition of good. its only obvious to me because i have the misfortune to see my fav building shit on by every "expert".

Sokoloff gave you some wonderful advice and I don't want to repeat what has already been said. However, here is what I know:

- You're a good writer.

- You do have two years of experience.

- "I will be keeping my head up as the position I am in may just be what forces me to be extraordinary at what I do." -> this sentence betrays a really good attitude.

I'd apply full-time if I were you. Worst case scenario, you'll be in the same place you are now. Best case scenario, I've got someone I can bitch at when Ableton Live hurts my feelings...:)

The Airbus 380 is the only passenger aircraft for which I have a strong preference.
