If you start measure externalities, then you can start predicting their expected value. Proposers of dumb laws will have to spend more effort in showing that their law is effective at whatever thing that they are trying to affect. The feedback loop will become more apparent and hopefully tighter. You won't be able to recoup that money back, but you would be able to demonstrate negligence / malice / incompetence more effectively and deal with them then as appropriate.
At least in the US nearly all ISP are either directly selling their customer data or own outright publishing arms that rely on advertiser revenue.

Even in Europe big telcos like Telenor have adtech holdings.

It doesn’t mean you can’t trust your ISP but certainly there are red flags.

I use Unbound[1] for DNS caching and local DNS. I have Unbound configured to forward queries to a local Stubby[2] instance that does DNS over TLS to CloudFlare.

Stubby does keep-alives and not restricted to a single thread and opening a new connection per query like Unbound which is why I used it as a forwarder as a few more features than Unbound.

In my Unbound config I have an include to a blocklist generated from https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts, essentially I pipe the data from that repo through awk [3]

I have an Android TV box so also have a firewall rule to redirect all queries to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 port 53 to my local DNS server.

No GUI's, solid and stable. Only thing missing is I need to write a cron job to fetch the latest block list, validate, convert to Unbound format and reload the daemon. It's only a 10 minutes job just something I haven't got round to yet.

OpenBSD is really good for running this stuff.

> where people working in an environment where it's normal to have every command available on a production system (really?)

Yes, really.

The ops folks I work with banter around the same idea that you're getting at here, that engineers should not have access to the production system they maintain. I'll ask you the question I ask them: when the system has a production outage¹, how am I supposed to debug it, effectively? To do that, I need to be able to introspect the state of the system, and that pretty much necessitates running arbitrary commands.

Even if I'm stripped of such abilities… I write the code. I can just change the code to surface what data I need to do, and redeploy. That can be incredibly inefficient, as deploying often resets the very state I seek to get at, so I have to sometimes wait for it to recur naturally if I don't have a solid means of reproducing it.
Several things, AIUI

1) Inertia. The Indian market is largely English-speaking, so many products came to market in English first, and now people are used to it.

2) Colonialism. Using English still marks you as "educated" and "more respectable". So, to not look like a yokel, everybody sets their UI to English. Content, which is more ephemeral, still is successful in Hindi/Urdu.

3) Localization is hard, and often the English localization is better - but content isn't localized, its first language is the native language.

IIRC, most browsers do default to the OS language. It's just not the correct choice in all cases :)

Websites doing weird things is websites trying to be smart and failing on top of that.
Damage isn't the only thing involved in people using the roads. Roads are a public good (in contrast to railroad tracks which are a private good).

The state effectively charges for the use of roads both to pay for maintenance and to make sure that the road remain usable to a reasonable cross-section of people. This is just as landlords charge for the use of land even when that land isn't consumed.
Von Neumann's algorithm for simulating a fair coin from a coin which is arbitrarily biased (but with independent throws) has moral analogs for any number of faces. By using more state you can also extract more data per throw.

Pieter Wuille created a table based implementation for a d6: https://gist.github.com/sipa/1913cf8aae565ddad0d1de7f2e9f7f3... though it isn't terribly efficient -- extracting only 2.722 bits per 4 roles, instead of the 10.34 which is theoretically possible -- because the table becomes fairly large fairly fast. d20 would be even worse.

https://gist.github.com/sipa/1621c40775007f1c27a39b608a765b1... is a similar implementation for two sides that extracts more than half the theoretical entropy.

If your application wanted uniform d20 throws a table that converted independent but biased d20 throws into unbiased d20 throws would be possible (though like above it would be inefficient unless it were very big.)
LA's plan for everything is a tax.
Interesting in theory.

Hrm, and yet in this discussion there are quite a few examples of people glorifying defending themselves with a weapon or lethal force. It is romanticized in the US and that's going to tip the balance on whether someone will preserve themselves or attempt to "take justice into their own hands". I think judges are in the position, and have generally proven quite able, to rule on cases where someone was legitimately uncertain if there were other options, but it's also a bit scary how glorified responding with force seems to be.

My brother (a welder) had to constantly correct design flaws by the architects and engineers involved so education is something but not everything. This ranged from having to "fix" the specified measurements to ordering more material because the highly educated apparently faltered on that note.
Sure, but it might also have some other nice side-benefits, like favouring railroad expansion. Having transport by lorry being artificially cheaper is non-ideal for lots of reasons.
Thermionic Converter
I disagree, it still protects the encryption of information they have in flight.

If they're actually recording the entirety of every TCP stream that comes into the datacenter, how many sets of credentials do you think are stored in that system? And right now, they're all encrypted with a single or small number of keys, that must be available to the system that is storing and parsing this data.

Also, given the breaches that have happened, I keep waiting for there to be a set of regulations from the other side requiring adequate protection and deletion of data. He seems entirely unconcerned with that aspect.

I'm with you. My mental alertness and clarity during fasting is me being hungry, angry and impatient. When the hunger wave goes away, I'm left with angry and impatient. So yes, productivity rises.

Maybe when people who are naturally aloof and easy-going are fasting, they get alertness and clarity. I'm already a somewhat aggressive person maybe it pushes me a bit too far.

My coworker and I are very good friends. When went on a restrictive diet for a month, we both were hangry all the time and eventually she stop talking to me (even though I'm her boss). When we look back at that month, we can laugh, but at the time we had no idea we acting like that. A third coworker just rolled her eyes at us because she knew what was going on.
Yes, but there’s a huge signal that the user wants something to run outside of the context of the current web page.

Service workers allow drive by installation semi-persistent malware. Not as bad as actual downloaded software malware, but on the other hand it doesn’t require user action to start.

The signal from user downloading and running something is that they no longer associate what the app is doing with the existence of that tab.

This step also means that while strictly more powerful the OS can enforce other restrictions to limit damage (as much as possible when users insist on disabling protections).

Again, service workers don’t have that signal, asking in a dialog is not useful, and by design they are user hostile - web developers wanted these features to support use cases that aren’t super compelling.
Same for me. The one key feature (that everything else probably can be configured to do if it doesn't do it now out of the box) that I mold my workflow around is the ability to roll the mouse wheel on the background in KDE and switch virtual desktops that way. For command-line (which I'm in all the time), I use yakuake which slides a terminal window down from the top of the screen like Quake used to do with it's console. This simple feature makes it easy for me to switch between a gui-oriented way of thinking and handling the next coding change in a terminal. You can peel off another shell in yakuake and surf between them. Silly, I know, but for me it works great.

If they run away while still holding the weapon in a ready position, you could reasonably argue that, and there were cases when people did, and convinced the jury.

And I think it's reasonable - why should you try to guess whether it's retreat or merely changing position? And even if it's retreat, it doesn't mean that they won't shoot back as they do so (indeed, "fighting retreat" is a military term). The whole point of firearms is that they can do harm at a considerable range, after all. If the attacker wants to make their intention to stop being a threat clear, they can drop the weapon. If they don't, I'd rather err on the side of not second-guessing the victim.
> Nobody else was going to

I doubt this pretty strongly.

And if they can put in enough effort to implement a new protocol, they can put in enough effort to log some keys.

They could do it in a much safer manner, too. They could have a TLS extension that appends the session key to the start of every connection, encrypted so that only the inspection device can use it. Then it would be transparent, connections not using it could be easily blocked, and you would still have forward secrecy in case the private key leaked.

> More broadly, some kind of (global?) effort to accurately calculate externalized costs of all kinds.

So, to do this, you first need to one:

(1) Develop a means to measure individual experienced utility, and

(2) Develop the correct mechanism for aggregating utility across time and individuals.

Analysis which go beyond purely financial impacts now tend to get around this by only considering a narrow range of non-financial externalities, assigning them dollar values by various means, and just treating them as financial externalities. This provides answers, but as to whether they are “accurate” in any deeper sense other than being exactly what you get when you make the assumptions about value that they do is debatable. (But then, that's true of how we aggregate financial externalities, too, because we treat a $ as having equal utility wherever it is, though we know that not to be the case.)
NYC is doing this as well and it makes no sense to me. What is congestion? Is it “people who own cars getting stuck in traffic”? To me it seems like all this benefits is wealthy people who want to drive comfortably to/around their neighborhood.
There's already a budding anti-tech movement. People destroy robots. There is a mistrust between users and services. This is definitely not the answer HN would like, but this can grow into a full-blown anti-tech counter-culture where people don't use smart phones or laptops, and instead pickup less invasive devices like the lite phone 2, nokias, pay-as-you-go flip phones, etc. There's a large dissent towards office work now, and developers themselves opt to be freelancers. There have been many privacy breaches which is a cause of people putting too much of their personal information in the hands of private organizations. It's inevitable people will get tired of social media. The technology industry will still exist, but there are literally hundreds of promising technologies coming along. I guess what I'm trying to say is they're no use to a regular person, and they'll be silo'd off into their own sector. Tech is not going to take over. It will only and always supplement humans, as it should.

> Id like to see the start of a state owned rideshare network with specially zoned drop off, pick up, and lane privileges that Uber and Lyft don’t get access to.

Uber and Lyft exist because the state didn't build one of those. In fact the state has built a completely inadequate public transit system in LA. Uber and Lyft are widely used because people in LA don't have an alternative.
Gp is trying to say that nobody is really "sharing a ride" that they would be driving anyway, as in hitchhiking with compensation. It's virtually all professional drivers going where the client goes exclusively because the client goes there. Hence the term "ridesharing" is misleading. A very successful piece of clever viral marketing, or maybe a fossil of an early strategy.

It's a semantic point, but a valid one. Words matter.
I'm not sure that I entirely agree... VS Code is really well supported across platforms that otherwise may have been left behind. Contrast to say MS Teams, which doesn't have as broad support outside Windows/Mac, that irks me more.

I'm a pretty big fan of Electron + Cordova to reach a broader base of users. I don't think it's a net bad as a user who prefers the same tools on windows, linux and mac as much as possible.

There are a lot of things you get in the box with a browser based platform beyond the cross browser support. I mean even reflows and alignments working right are far more consistent, more easily. CSS/Styling is the same as the browser which is very flexible/capable. Some may dislike JS, but it gets the job done.

But on the flip side, I've seen people build an entire application (executable) or service from what could be a simple script in any given scripting language.
OK, but how many FAANG employees are top-notch plumbers or electricians (i.e. equivalent to tradesman level)? Sure, they may have the potential to develop the skill, but that is equivalent to saying that I have the potential to be a great surgeon. I probably have the dexterity for it, and I'm sure all the information is available through textbooks, but it's a facile argument.

If someone can't even type well, that alone adds what, 80-120 hours minimum of learning just the basic skill alone to get to a level where they can focus on programming without having to focus on input. Specialization exists for a reason, there just isn't the time to learn everything. And the time investment to learn a trade is ~equivalent to the amount of time to learn to program.

I'm a LA resident. People in this city like to talk about congestion as though they see it as a problem, but they don't actually see it as a problem.

Only people in the valley see it as a problem because there are limited choke points into and out of LA proper which keep people from getting to work.

LA's limited transportation infrastructure prevents DTLA's homeless from getting to Beverly Hills, Long Beach's gang-related activity from getting to Brentwood, etc.

If LA wanted to fix their transportation problem then they could build trains parallel to the 405 and 110 and solve the problem, but they don't want to fix the problem because the problem allows them (us?) to keep the city segregated by income.

> This is a lot of text responding to some pretty simple facts. The only value judgement I've made here is that you might want to look up who people are before you decide to tell them they're spreading false statements (that's with respect to Colm, not me; you can say whatever you'd like about me.)

You are correct that I was wrong with what my statements were, but I don't care if it's Jonathan Katz who's spreading misinformation, if I believe someone is spreading misinformation I'm going to call them out on it. I was WRONG this time (again have to admit that?), but am trying to address the original question. Half of that "large text" was new information that you've distracted the topic away from.

And you've done it yet again, changed the topic.

My offtopic sub-point here is that you are taking large quantities of information out of context for no reason other than to change the subject away from actual information search.

> But CBC+HMAC != CBC

Here's what Colm said:

> I know that I'm going to be thought a heretical fool for saying this, but overall I would consider CBC mode "more secure" than GCM.

OMG he said CBC mode (NOT CBC-HMAC!) is "more secure" than GCM! Go call him out on that one sentence taken out of context!

Obviously we are talking about CBC-HMAC because that's the topic. Colm started it on that topic, and if you look at his entire post, the context makes that clear. If you instead focused on the fact that I'm talking in the same context, you wouldn't get off on a tangent that somehow I think that Colm believes CBC mode without an HMAC is somehow more secure (he doesn't, obviously). You are creating a strawman for no reason. You are right, you aren't attacking me. You are conducting half of a strawman argument. You've created a strawman, and just left it there. It's weird. It changes the topic. It serves no purpose except to derail the conversation.

Colm is arguing that CBC with a MAC is more secure than GCM, but if you take the strict way you are interpreting my statements, you would not believe that because you are applying a double standard to me. Colm apparently is allowed to make contextual statements but I am not.

Again, back to the original topic I'm trying to figure out why the encryption experts believe the opposite, which he also says is the overwhelming majority of opinion, and why we are even conversing in the first place. I doubt I can keep this on topic anymore because you keep drifting it off for quite literally no reason.

Screw it. I'm going back to reading the book. I will not share my findings with you because you have already ignored my other findings and theories and it will just fall on deaf ears.
Surely securing a device such as this wouldn't be the hardest part?

Just dig a really hole in the middle of the base, drop it in there and cover it with either dirt or cememnt, leaving a small shaft for maintanance/access. Then dig it out again at the end?

That would protect it from everything other than the entire base being completely overrun, in which case the enemy has already won right?

Although the CPI may need tweaks since it currently has a strange way of calculating housing calculations: not mortgage payments but rental of equivalent property, I still assume the CPI is fairly useful for guiding policy as is.

The problem is the grand-parent-post's use of this number to claim it indicates almost everyone, or at least "the typical person" is twice as well off now as 1973. And worse, doing so implies nothing needs to be fixed.

>Yes, something needs to be done about housing market cycles and how much damage they cause to the economy.

Housing market cycles do harm without fixing the underlying problem. They disrupt the larger economy but only shave of 10%-20% of home prices and then only temporarily. This failure to reduce housing costs is a problem.

Consider that in 1970 with a 30 year fixed at 8%, home prices sat at 65,000 adjusted for inflation. Rates were near double that in 80's yet, adjusted for inflation, homes were over 90k. Today, with about 4% interest, median price exceeds 250,000. Evidently total housing costs exceed wage and inflation over time. Evidently prices do not genuinely cycle. Evidently interest (our sole economic tool now) does not affect this overall trend.

So the issue arises in a generation or two. It seems there is magical thinking that history is over and this will just take care of itself and that mass ownership of land is somehow an inevitable law of nature. It seems more likely that the last 80 years were a fluke requiring careful maintenance which has ended.

>sticker prices on houses (which is largely meaningless -- very few people buy houses in cash)

The sticker price of a home directly relates to financed cost as well as cash.
