Google's implementation guide says:

This is consistent with my reading of the RFC.
The point is that your router is a client of your ISPs network and you're overriding the servers provided by DHCP to your router.

In a crazy world where internally Firefox ran a small IP network for each tab and routed traffic between them for IPC would it suddenly be okay for Firefox to override DNS? Why or why not?
It is. If you have a pixel you can just use a button press, because the Titan m can directly sense the button state.
Aliasable, mutable memory (ie race conditions) is evil, and threads perfuse the entire programming environment with it. This is a dirty implementation detail that operating system kernels have to deal with, and we should be burying it in the same hole as memory swapping and TCP retransmits, not making it a fundamental hazard every application developer has to worry about.

While archaeologists definitely do tend to underestimate the viability of sea voyages, don't consider 1491 a work of fact. It's rather fast and loose with its interpretation. Zheng He or members of some of his 7 voyages did get to the east coast of Africa, but any further movement is not supported by either evidence or literature.

You can check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Columbian_trans-oceanic_co... for some debunking.

Most places on earth, America included, are or were reachable in small watercraft at certain times of the year, even without sail, given certain weather conditions. Only the remotest islands truly required advanced seafaring for repeat navigation.

Anyway, aside from isolated boating incidents there are far more impressive stories that are buried by popular history and its political supporters - the use of Persian as a lingua franca for trade and diplomacy as far away as China, various Indian Kingdoms throughout Southeast Asia and up to the Chinese border, entire civilizations whose expanse was extremely significant but virtually nobody has heard of, successful cultural genocides on grand scales, etc.
I’d be fairly certain this would be against Mozilla’s requirements.
I think that's a bit of an unfair characterization of tptacek's stance. Make no mistake, he does hate it, and does post against it when he can, but instead of (implicitly) painting him as (unreasonably) extreme about it, why not do something like link to his essay[1] on the topic, and let the GP inform themselves and come to their own conclusion?

There is no practical difference. For people who need the security, this API can guarantee it.
The telephone is only relevant in some jurisdictions. For instance in Illlinois (an all-party state), you cannot record a private conversation. There's no mention of a phone or telecoms, and you should expect to get sued if you're in a conference room recording folks without their consent.
Thank you for the details. Now we all know more.
To continue with your analogy, Facebook is just one tainted chicken breast in the meat counter. We need to examine the entire meat packing and inspection infrastructure that gave rise to this mess.
i got my results last week as a vcf file (using the same black friday deal). they now also have separate indel, snp files etc. it takes a lot of time apparently.
Precisely - the person who owns the conference room and placed the device there should expect to get sued. The person who manufactured the device shouldn't since they didn't use the device to break the law. The owner of the private property did.

It's the same with phone and security cameras - the manufacturers are not the ones at fault when the devices are incorrectly used by owners in states with specific legal laws regarding recording.
I understand your frustration, but I think this logic is easily exploited. Part of democracy is keeping our elected officials in check. If we mentally check out whenever they put on a circus show, we’re rewarding bad behavior.

No, DoH only deals with client to resolver encryption.

Recursive lookups from the resolver to authoritative DNS servers from the root down are not encrypted.

Really what you are doing is switching between telling your ISP all the domains you look up to telling Google/Cloudflare. Except your ISP can still see SNIs so you’re really just telling Google/Cloudflare in addition to your ISP.
Honestly and fairly evaluating an individual requires more resources than checking the value of a single bit (hasDegree==1). Society has attempted to address this scaling problem with a system of _degrees_ and/or _certifications_.
I use the word google a lot in other contexts simply because they are a big company with lots of services, and they happen to make the (tech) news quite often. So only the word OK would have to be misheard. Bixby seems safer in this regard.
Not so sure about that. Google has now become a verb, not hard to imagine false positives.
I can't recall the google settings screen but you can review everything that google has picked up. I reviewed mine and while most were ok there were a good number of private conversations with my wife that google had randomly picked up. Most of them sounded like stuff I was saying while driving. Which means that it was purely based on what android thought it had heard vs any manual input. I can only assume google home will have similar moments.

Amazon apart, what's inmmoral about labeling data that you got with the consent of the user?

It's hard to appreciate what you are saying when you're basically judging the incentive of economic/technological progress as an inmmoral behavior (in this case the intention of improving a technology)

Labeling data and training a machine learning model sounds far from inmoral. Perhaps for some people the idea of companies developing machine learning models and capturing data to train them is an ethically gray concept.
As I understand it, echolocation gives you a rough 3d model of everything around you, but no indication of flat textures on things. This project would seem to give a 2d image as a sound.

Just took a look at my main "Go to", the BBC.

It's difficult to tell, because the front page of BBC has so many more articles on it than the front page of HN, but the "outrage porn" proportion seems about equal to me. Right around 1/4 or 1/5 of the articles I would classify that way. Seems about the same as HN.

Just for context, at the moment on HN, I'd say these are the "news"-y and "outrage porn"-y posts on the front page.

"Amazon Workers Are Listening To What You Tell Alexa" - Obligatory "outrage porn" post for FAANG company. (Generally a minimum of one is always present on the front page.)

"Urgent Quest For Slower, Better News"

"Most Prestigious Journals Publishing Least Reliable Science"

"New Human Species Found In Philippines" - (Predictable descent into extreme views on evolution. No more "Out of Africa", all that "scientific evidence" stuff is nonsense.)

"Startup Stock Options - Good Deal Gone Bad"

"Logic of Political Survival"

And that doesn't even count the posts on the front page that are borderline.
You seem to be extremely confused about what Net Neutrality even is. It has nothing to do with whether you pay for data or not.

Yes, Google and Facebook being so large is concerning, but it has nothing to do with this subject.

If anything, the entrenched players are helped by a lack of Net Neutrality. Say Facebook makes a payment to ISPs and suddenly all it's competitor websites are unreliable and slow to load.

Imagine how long the devices would stay on the market if owners started being held liable for what the device does.

I'm not suggesting the device be made illegal, but I do think a ton of common applications should be... and without those applications, the device loses viability.
I would argue the US draws the line in a clearly categorical way, while European countries draw it past a categorical boundary. In the US, what you say has to break an already existing criminal law or be pursuant to a criminal act for it to be criminal. For example, lying to someone about your company's financial situation is fraud, telling someone you're going to injure them is threat of battery, and falsely yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is illegal because it may lead to imminent lawless action, such as a riot or stampede which could injure people.

European countries ban those forms of speech, and also ban other forms of speech based on subjective non-criminal harm that is perceived to be a potential result of such speech. For example, denying the Holocaust could lead other people to think it didn't happen, which may cause them to view Jewish people more negatively.

The US simply doesn't engage in that kind of subjective interpretation of speech. Speech has to be a component of a criminal act, or a clear precursor to an imminently criminal act. You can't play association games like "he said this, which could lead other people to think X, which could lead people to say Y, which could lead to some form of violence", which most (all?) European legal systems seem to do.

I do understand the need for certain limited restrictions on speech in times of war and martial law, and perhaps for brief periods after wars end, but the EU hasn't had a major war in a long time. I get banning swastikas and banning Holocaust denial in the 50s. But I'm an American Jew, and I've been to Germany a bunch in the past decade. I don't care (in a legal sense) if someone denies the Holocaust, and in fact think that banning Holocaust denial greatly empowers them and their cause, not just in Germany but globally. I've seen this firsthand, many times.
I was part of a very well know incubator and a very early employee at a flagship company. Founder blew tons of cash and dilutions but that is part of it and I didn’t mind.

What was ethically shady was shortly after I left with 4yrs vested they decided to restructure the entire company so they could attract investment. They took all the debt from the original company and put that in a shell company that then owned a portion of the new company. Guess where early employees’ stock went? The debt vehicle.

I actually did make some money on the eventual exit, but probably 1 or 2 orders of magnitude off of what it would have been if my stock was in NewCo. Consider the tech we built was a major driver of the acquisition, it was frustrating.

People are greedy, no matter how nice they are to your face.
I'm a fan of T5W. But even I don't see it as a panacea. For me it's a reliable way to vet your original assumption. That is, have you identified a (root) problem or only a symptom.

T5W is the sanity check before you leap to problem solving, and perhaps solve the wrong problem - which often is no solution at all.
I believe this practice should be inculcated in most research projects. However, if I put my adversarial hat on - I see one challenge. Scientists could still perform their experiments beforehand with the hypothesis, procedures and results. During submissions, they will _phase_ these two-stage information and give an impression of not performing posthoc rationalization. However, in reality they would. Such a system could be business as usual for the scientists unless you control the power for scientists to perform their experiments which seems impractical.

The idea is extremely great but I believe this could be difficult to implement at a publication level.
Can we agree that the Fourth Estate's most important role in society is to report on politics and the powerful?

Journalism may not be politics, but reporting on how politics affects people (and even other nations) is journalism's highest purpose. But it's impossible to completely "cover" all aspects of all politics and be 100% unbiased. Therefore, the most important part of journalism is inherently political.

Facing that reality, we can view journalism with a cautious eye. This is critically important for all journalism, actually, as stories are constantly published that mis-state problems, inaccurately describe complex issues, or just blatantly disregard an important detail of a story. These micro-occlusions of information add up to a twisted view of reality for the reader. I think politics is just one of the many ways we should seek to accept and understand the bias in the news.
And honestly even though we all agree about this in my field (condensed matter) we still try to get our work published there because it's what helps people get ahead in academic life.

It's such a perverse vicious cycle that can't seem to be broken...

The "Why" is because Amazon decided to keep the gTLD for itself, rather than act as a registrar.

I'm really not sure what you're implying, can you please state it explicitly? I'd expect this code to look similar to both the CreateProcess and fork models, at the very least.
Good point. I didn't realize the goal of a good cipher is to remove statistical regularities (i.e. make it indistinguishable from random noise).
I imagine they will face the same market consequences that smart phones, security cameras, and other devices that have the potential to be used to record people in private places currently face. Customers with a low tolerance for being recorded simply just won't buy.
>Millions more are reluctant to invite the devices and their powerful microphones into their homes out of concern that someone might be listening.

Sometimes, someone is.

This wording is misleading, because it sounds like someone is listening through the device as the speech is being picked up by it, but in fact it's recordings.
Could you elaborate on your definition of volume here (are you talking about spatial volume or spacetime volume?) and how the curvature going to infinity at the singularity should imply its infiniteness?

My thought process here is the following: The inside of an (eternal) black hole carries four (Schwarzschild) coordinates t, r, theta, phi – r now being timelike and confined to the interval (0, 2M) and t now being spacelike and being any real number. That is, depending on when (at what time t) you cross the event horizon, you end up at a different point in space. The singularity at r=0 is then a point in your future which, like your own death, you cannot actually see but which you will nevertheless hit in finite proper time.

So in this sense I'd say the volume is very finite (if we disregard the (trivially unbounded) spacelike coordinate t which, as mentioned before, simply corresponds to the time of entering the BH).
It's the voters will that allows them to use the guise of comabting hate speech, terrorism, child porn etc. Blogging about the negative repercussions of this behaviour help inform the opinions of voters and is exactly what you should do in a democracy.

> Rich people spend a lot of their money on real estate, so unless you're going to come up with a good way of taxing that

The same thing can apply to real estate as it does for cars. That is, a sales tax you pay when you purchase the home. And the sales tax doesn't have to be a flat amount. It could be a greater percentage of the value of the home for homes that are valued at several million dollars as opposed to those that are worth only several hundred thousand dollars.

> rich people aren't going to be paying much in taxes

Isn't that the case currently (compared to what they could be paying due to all the loopholes in the current tax code)? If we focused on taxing transactions as opposed to possessions and income, then the rich could be taxed far more. Invest in stocks? Then you can be taxed when you buy them. Invest in real estate? Then you can be taxed when you buy property, etc.

> Rich people spend a lot on foreign vacations and travel, which is untaxable domestically for obvious reasons.

That is true, but it seems that the US is one of the few nations in the world that states that you have to pay taxes on income you earn outside the country (assuming you don't pay taxes on it in the other country). That said, I think that we should focus on the majority of tax payers in terms of making how they pay taxes easier and hopefully more fair.

> there's a reason that no other developed nation taxes this way, and they all have income taxes. And all those other nations manage to have relatively simple taxes for most taxpayers that don't require paying H&R Block to file for them.

I don't pay anyone for filing taxes, but it takes days to read through all the instructions for the 1040 form and other associated forms to see what applies to me and what doesn't. Personally, if I was able to take care of my tax obligation by just buying various things throughout the year and getting my full paycheck, then I would certainly be happier and not have to essentially waste several days every year figuring my taxes.
I'll never understand selecting windows for any embedded system that is expected to have a 10+ year life. If you look at their history, they frequently blow up the development environment every 5-6(?) years. Yes they'll provide support, but it comes at being increasingly held hostage to whatever level of long term support costs are in vogue at the time. For a 20-30 year support life, that's a guaranteed headache.

this is getting really boring and repetitive, but you didn't give a "cheaper" solution, you gave an administratively more expensive solution (change files on machines rather than bulk remove an app which is out of the box functionality for many products IT like this would use), along with moving the goal posts; the goal is "keep my DNS filtering working," not "make sure no one ever gets to the porn site."

of course, you would need to do more in chrome (and windows/osx/ubuntu generally) to stop traffic to a site if a student knows what they're doing. that's not the point. the point is: we have this control in place. we've agreed it's working well enough. people can bypass the control simply by using firefox. to avoid adding overhead, we ditch firefox (for now). it's that simple.

as for future-proofing, that's a luxury. ...and part of why it's a luxury is that some goals ("make all traffic to any porn sites impossible on our school network") just aren't going to be met by budget IT.

Yep - and I wish this was more of the conversation ... I'm really playing a completely different game than my late father.

The ONLY reason I realize it vs my peers is because both of my parents died by/in my mid-20s and left me nothing going into adulthood. In contrast, I would anecdotally say >60% of my peers are still receiving parental help with everything from childcare, to down payments on houses, etc - even well into their 30's... regardless of income.
