(It's been a long time since I've actually set up a DNS server and am pretty fuzzy on some details - so I'm going to state this like a real nooby to hopefully get an ELI5 answer)

If I were to set up my own DoH server, would its queries to upstream (root??) servers (and subsequent recursed servers) be encrypted? (Simpler: does running a DNS server "on-premise", or even in the cloud, actually protect you from anything?)
Being able to see the source is not the same as open source. Being able to see the source doesn't mean you can fork it, resell it, or even use it without permission.

Plenty of proprietary products are made in languages where the code is not compiled, such as proprietary PHP platforms.

Presumably, since the plugins are free here, if Google isn't open sourcing it, they don't want other companies to lift their work and use them in competing projects. Or, just as likely, the Googler that wrote it has some bureaucratic process they didn't go through yet to open source it, and they intend to change the license later.
Ignoring the existence of traffic, sure.
Wow, I wished I lived in a developed country too.

Random road trips? AutoPilot? Random stops at high-density places to get ready for the next leg of the trip?

Seriously, what kind of heaven do you people live in? I can't even travel 2 kilometers without getting lost in unhabitable middle of nowheres or being asked for a visa and turned back.
Interesting. Can't you wrap the antenna in a Faraday cage, or simply disconnect it?

It should not be without great consternation that a corporation should overtake a people.
I think the implication of the question may have been "why not just hold the stock after the IPO if you expect.

Further down, continuing the Sister quote:

three examples Suster uses – Salesforce, Google and Amazon – show how much more valuable the companies were after their IPOs. Before these three went public, they weren’t unicorns – that is their market cap was less than a billion dollars. Twelve years later, Salesforce’s market cap was $18 billion, Google’s was $162 billion, and Amazon’s was $17 billion.
From a general generic user perspective, you're right that that would be useful. As a user, I also understand that frustration.

Basically, it comes down to having very little money, if any, to fund these tasks and most of the work is done by volunteers. It is much easier and faster to work with the local environment than manage kernel portability issues between different BSDs and even Linux.

The cool thing is that anyone is free to help with the project and port things if they choose. It is truly an issue of funding and finding folks willing to do the work (and maintain it).

It is a lot of work and specialized knowledge across different kernel domains.

I'm European and have only visited the US once in my life. I'm certainly not looking at this solely in the context of the US market.

Most people in Europe will associate "amazon" with the company, as will most Indians and increasingly the rest of Asia too.

People in South America usually don't refer to the rainforest or the river as "amazon".

Where are the people who think of amazon as the rainforest or the river?

>They do not own the word

Of course they don't, but they've got a very legitimate claim to own the TLD.

>Apple the company currently has .apple. A global fruit cultivated over millennia. But somehow Apple the tech company gets it.

So what? Nobody else wanted that TLD, why shouldn't Apple get it? This is a really strange thing to complain about.

Why does the Verisign get .net? A tool used globally to catch fish, birds and other animals for a millenia.
You put a lot of effort into this. Thank you. I think it's a great slam: it's got the right tone, covers things in a fairly linear format, leads to a nice conclusion.

As you can imagine, I think it's totally whack, but you tried. And it holds together.

I'm not going to defend a ten-year-old essay here. I love the way it holds up and I'm happy with my editorial choices. If you'd like to talk over email, if this subject truly bothers you this much, hit me up. I like seeing this much passion in a rebuttal.

Any other readers interested in talking about whether this piece is well-grounded in history or not, please give me a chance to provide sources. A comment thread on your own article is just much-too-confrontational of a place to get into that, as it would confuse the historical part of the essay with its thesis and conclusion. It's quite possible to agree with the historical stuff and disagree with the thesis -- and vice-versa.

Thanks for taking the time. (Pearl-clutching, eh? Nicely done!)

One of the reasons is the fact that they're written in C++ and not C, therefor difficult to wrap natively by host languages.

Oftentimes, the conversation is more like, "Sign this or we're shutting down and starting a new company."

But yeah. It does go down that way more often than many people know.

In fairness though, one thing I think a lot of people don't realize is that someone must've gone to bat for employees when documents like that show up. I can pretty much guarantee you that the greedy bastards in the room wanted to shut down, or layoff, and reorganize with just the employees that they needed.

Someone in the room had to say, "Hey guys, let's try this!" And that someone took a real risk at being seen as "not a team player" so to speak. (It was likely someone powerful. What I've seen is that it can be everything from a powerful VC of the religious variety, all the way to your more idealistic founder types.)

Actually yes. Try going hands free with Eyesight for a few minutes, it is significantly less smooth and stable than Autopilot.

Actually don't, you might die.
So if I understand correctly, in order for Alice to catch up on the messages she might've missed, she decrypts the pointer to the HEAD of the message chain, and then decrypts that message. That ciphertext contains the address to the preceding message in the chain. Alice goes there and decrypts that. She continues doing this until she finds a message that's already in her chat history.

Doesn't this construction make forward secrecy impossible? Normally you'd ratchet your key on every message, but if you're decrypting backwards, you can't do that. Also I suppose the fact that it's a group chat makes everything harder.

I had a former employer do something different but similar.

They sold all the products to another company, paid all of the proceeds out as a bonus to the execs and big investors, and left the holders of the common stock (ie, employees who had bought their options) with a worthless, empty shell. Thanks for working hard and buying shares in the company!
Of course! I'm so used to PoE that power line networking didn't cross my mind. Thanks for the correction.
The behaviour depends on a few preferences:

* network.trr.mode can be set to 0 (disabled), 1 (race native vs TRR), 2 (TRR first, OS DNS as fallback), 3 (TRR only), 4 (run native and TRR in parallel but use native results, save TRR timings for telemetry), or 5 (off by choice)

* network.trr.uri configures which DoH endpoint is queried

Firefox does maintain a DNS cache, even if you use the native DNS resolver. You can view the cache at about:networking#dns.

I don't see the argument here. Strawman or not, the case I made is fairly common (ask around). The case you made is not.
And even 3000 years before Aquinas:

"Anu and Bel called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil-doers; so that the strong should not harm the weak; so that I should rule over the black-headed people like Shamash, and enlighten the land, to further the well-being of mankind.

...

That the strong might not injure the weak, in order to protect the widows and orphans, I have in Babylon the city where Anu and Bel raise high their head, in E-Sagil, the Temple, whose foundations stand firm as heaven and earth, in order to bespeak justice in the land, to settle all disputes, and heal all injuries, set up these my precious words, written upon my memorial stone, before the image of me, as king of righteousness. ... let the oppressed, who has a case at law, come and stand before this my image as king of righteousness; let him read the inscription, and understand my precious words: the inscription will explain his case to him."

I hope Amazon's leaders show more backbone than Google's leaders, and do not cave to demands from a small, vocal minority of activists. This is only 3000 of over 600,000 employees - less than 0.5% of the company.

Employee activism is absurd and entitled. How can rank-and-file employees have the visibility, knowledge, or experience to make highly-complex business decisions that leadership has to deal with? They can't. And they don't get to demand either visibility or involvement in all those discussions/decisions, just like a random employee doesn't get to get involved in some other random employee's day-to-day work.

Amazon needs to avoid the fate Google has suffered, of becoming a hostile workplace where voices are dominated by one cohort with certain political leanings. This is especially crucial because most dissenting or indifferent voices are not in a position to speak freely, and face a severe lack of psychological safety at the workplace when they go against the grain in cities like Seattle or San Francisco.
Yeah but imagine how awesome higher education will be with private equity/VC firms determining how to price-discriminate majors in order to increase their returns
I’ve seen the unfortunate side effects of losing these types of folks. I’m also a believer that though this happens through the natural course of life, it is also happening more and more to younger developers as well. I’ve seen plenty of talented senior and principal engineers leave organizations at the 7-15 year mark, in their prime, because of what software shops are becoming. Sure, it’s easy to argue that there has ways been a vein of sweatshop mentality to the software profession, but it’s growing to extreme levels. The attitude of the startup mentality of working yourself to the bone seems to have become a model for all size organizations. I’ve always believed our field, though called computer science, is equal parts science, art, and philosophy.

The art, science, and philosophy is being replaced with deadlines akin to working in other fields where timelines are nearly exact. Immature CEOs and CIOs think that because their disciplines are exact, that they can will-into-existence complex line of business software by working developers harder than ever, and firing those who aren’t dedicated enough.

The brain drain of our profession is happening because the art of gardening (making software) is being slowly replaced by factory farming versions of producing software.

Anyone with a pulse can get a 3.0 GPA in college. Due to grade inflation a "C" has become a B. A 2.0 GPA in college is basically straight Fs. In order to average less than a 2.0 in college I would imagine you would have to not show up for your exams and refuse to do any assignments.

No, I precisely said that it's a nice thing to have an automated home-garden for people that can afford it. I like the Farmbot. But it is Never. Going. To. Automate. Real. Large-scale. Farming.

Never.

Real farming -- the modern, factory kind of thing -- the stuff that provides the overwhelming bulk of food (maize, soya, wheat) -- happens on a massive scale over hundreds to thousands of hectares, and the Farmbot concept -- essentially a 2-D plotter with various head attachments -- is just never going to begin to automate that sort of scale. (Downvote me all you want.) Very large mobile robots might work, though I wonder about how the power requirements are going to be met. To my mind swarms of smaller robots seem to be the best bet, but I haven't seen a lot of work going on in that space.

Lettuces and Beetroots are nice. I grow a hell of a lot of those myself. But they don't feed the planet.
I was at AOL.

My team was acquhired as a "startup within a larger company!!1" which ended up meaning: lower pay, longer hours, no equity, no actual autonomy.

But I was young and foolish and, caving to peer pressure, decided against my better judgement to take the gig. After my 1 year cliff (and successfully launching the Editions app that they soon after shitcanned) I got the fuck out.

EDIT: keep in mind, my hours were a product of my specific team, and the fact that I was commuting from Santa Cruz to Palo Alto. It would have likely been a regular 9-5 on other teams, and I'm pretty sure most of the other people there had regular hours.
That doesn't mean I think it's a good idea.

Ask HN: Should I incorporate my freelance work?

I don't immediately see a copy of the paper linked from the article, but it is a study on mice, which doesn't mean the results transfer to humans. The title of the linked article should end with "in mice".

That said, it looks like the study was actually testing the effects of the chemical on specific proteins, which are common between humans and mice, and refers to other related studies that were actually done on humans. The article quotes one of the study authors as saying more work is necessary to actually connect the chemical in question with those proteins. In other words, they are still investigating a plausible pathway to explain how this chemical actually affects immune response in mice. That may or may not transfer to humans.

One thing I found a little concerning is there's no mention of effect size. That is, how did they measure immune response, and what was the actual effect on health? The summary says "more severe weight loss," but how severe? How much longer was the illness?

The article also doesn't explain why this chemical is used in industry. Even if it causes an immuno-suppressive effect, would banning its use cause other problems, like increased food spoilage? What's the trade-off? Without knowing what the chemical is used for, and what the effect size on the mice was, it's hard to come away with any value judgment from this article and the linked summary.

Anyway, sounds like an interesting thing worth following up on, but I wouldn't go around examining your ingredients labels based on this one study.
The hostname resolves to a bunch of different mirrors run by different people who don’t all share a secret key between them.

There are workarounds for this (using a redirector service and unique hostnames) but that is an additional request of donors who are providing them a lot of bandwidth for free.

Right, and he's not counting the metadata an ISP or wifi provider can be collecting about you, they might not be able to see your private traffic to your bank, but now they know who you bank with. You might be passing that information on to ProtonVPN, but I'm more afraid of what someone sniffing wifi traffic can find out about me than a service I'm paying for, its about the same risk with my ISP. AT&T even collects data from its consumers.
You can probably make up reasons. "To induce me to ingest nutrients" "To provide me with energy" "To fulfill some biological imperative" is one possible route.

The issue is you can't ask for more money.

Increased risk of a startup should mean increased salary. What it has turned into is lower salary with options to get rewarded if all goes extremely well. If things go only okay then the salary is about the same.

The risk can be higher for a founder but could be more risky for an employee based on personal situations. The reward ratio is higher for founder and control over risk is in their hands.

I am too building a new automl platform on top of kubernetes,

I do not think that you can compete with google on alg accuracy, since most of the underlying ML alg are open source (scikit learn or tensor flow). This is not a secret sauce.

That said, to get better models, you will probably need to find better hyper parameters tuning method, which depends on the number of models that you are willing to run per model tuning session. So if you have a unique model search method, you can save 10X-100X search time, which translate to real saving.

In addition, the solution lacks in model management. In general, most business people would like to understand why a specific model make a specific prediction. Most ops people want to track the training data version, model version, alg version etc.

Moreover, The product itself has "best practice" page :

https://cloud.google.com/automl-tables/docs/data-best-practi...

which include a list of features that are not in the product.

And one of the biggest differentiation should be on-prem vs cloud. Are customers willing to put their data in google (or any other cloud, for that matter) ? Can they legally do that?

I think that this product actually benefit the ecosystem since it helps to create a category of auto ml for tabular data, backed by google marketing budget.
