Thank you for your comment.

Since HTTPS traffic already reveals communicating IPs to nation-state actors, could you clarify what attack vector removing user IP info from authoritative DNS queries protects against?

In what way does Cloudflare publish its PoP geolocation? Is it a Cloudflare-specific API? Why not fake EDNS subnet info by providing the PoP’s?

I notice of course that Google, Facebook, and Netflix still work on 1.1.1.1. Does this mean they’re currently using Cloudflare PoP geolocation in lieu of EDNS subnet information?
Uhm, this post seems disingenuous to me. The author just throws any possible insecurity under “signs you are the problem” and then starts to hammer away - it’s basically a form of shaming, actually typical of the worst sort of brainwashing.

One can suffer from anxiety and insecurities and not be “toxic” or “a problem”.
Does this mean California government is taking some responsibility for the forest fires? Or is it still legally all PG&Es fault?
I live in Brighton (55 miles south of London) and regularly come up by train. But as soon as it's more than me - my wife and daughter joining me to see an exhibition for example - it often costs more to travel by train than it does to drive (in my polluting diesel car I bought quite a while ago when people still thought they were good), including fuel, central London parking and the congestion charge, presuming we don't know three months in advance that we want to do that (when we'd be able to buy cheap super-advance off-peak tickets). The ULEZ will change that calculation a bit. But the thing I hate the very most is the reduction of government subsidies for public transport when the effective subsidies for cars - including things like NHS treatment for this poor girl - is astronomical. I would love my diesel car to be taxed out of existence. But unless there's some kind of provision for public transport (both cost and capacity) to balance that out, it's going to be a real shitshow.
If you have two people in front of you, both equally smart, both equally inexperienced, one straight out of high school, one graduating with a degree, why would you not hire the one with more education and years of analytical thought under their belt?

When I got out of college, I took the same low-paying entry level jobs that the 18 year old high school graduates did. I didn't get a jump start because of my degree. But I was able to use the skills I had learned (even in my Fine Arts education), to more deeply approach problems and I moved in my career more quickly. I'm still in touch with some of the folks from that very first job. They are struggling -- they spent decades in tech jobs, advancing, making more money, doing bigger things... but all eventually experienced a layoff, and can't get re-hired despite their skills and experience because younger folk, cheaper folk, with 10 years experience can do everything they can, and demand less salary. Nobody cares that you know 25 year old tech.

So the usefulness of a degree isn't about day one of your career. It is about years 3-5, when you have a few years of skills built up, and then can synthesize them into something bigger and better, and start to make bigger jumps on your career, and put yourself in a position that you are more than just your tech knowledge. And that is what employers care about once you get old.
I've reviewed my share of resumes and the education section is the least important part. If it is a new fresh graduate sure, it is a bigger consideration. But far more important is their experience, what have they done since graduation. Hell if someone has 5-10 years experience that section is getting skipped entirely.
Since this topic comes up every few months, there is one major reason why college degrees are often prerequisites for job applications.

> _Are companies really legally disallowed from using IQ tests in the USA?_

Griggs v. Duke Power Company, 1971. US Supreme Court found that a particular use of IQ tests in hiring practices caused a disproportionate impact on African American employees. "Disproportionate impact" can make a facially neutral policy illegal under various US civil rights laws.

This is not a blanket ban on IQ testing in employment, but corporations being risk-averse, most of them don't really do it much any more.

(This is a very happy outcome for universities, since it gives them a virtual monopoly on discriminating on the basis of intelligence. Since that is really useful to do, all a university has to do is maintain its reputation as being a mostly reliable discriminator, and the actual contents of what it teaches are virtually irrelevant.)

In fairness, there's rampant vote manipulation to promote everything on HN. So the Sino-philic camp is doing it too. kind of unfair to single out the Sino-phobic camp in that regard.

For some repositories the code may be of little concern if the hacker shares it with the world or deletes it.... but it could impact some users.
It's also a wrong opinion that doesn't understand chaparral ecology. I live in Ventura County, and there's no canopy to speak of. And wildfire here occurs at 2 to 3 times the natural rate. Given all of the anthropogenic ignition sources that occur in dry downslope wind conditions, full fire suppression is the only sane option.

I don't think that's true. Route53 has been using Anycast since its inception [0].

The Twitter thread you linked simply points out that fault isolation is tricky with Anycast, and so I am not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that you did.

> Second, it works by killing X. Not exactly elegant.

It works by killing everything on that particular terminal, no matter if it's text based or graphical. That's the whole point: whatever spawns after that is created by the init system.

> But most importantly you don't have to use the SAK to log in! That's kind of the whole point of it.

> It should be "Press ctrl-alt-delete to log in", not "By the way you can press ctrl-alt-delete if you want" because then nobody will bother!

I can guarantee you, if I were to copy the design of the login screen that shows up after you press ctrl-alt+del, 99.999% of people who don't work in IT won't bat an eye and enter their credentials straight away. It comes down to educating your users. If you don't explain your users why they have to press it before logging in, they will write it off as just random computer stuff they don't understand and only do so because they get prompted to do so. If next time around they don't, they don't care.

So it comes down to educating your users, and I could very well train them to press alt-print-k before logging in, whereas I agree that a friendly reminder on the login screen is a plus.
I donated a substantial amount - and I agree completely. I knew I was paying Kenneth Reitz, and have no concern whatsoever what happens after that. I’ve gotten several orders of magnitude more benefit from Kenneth and his work than my donation. Hell, for that matter, I’ve gotten several orders of magnitude more benefit than the total of all donations combined.
Thanks.

> Few questions: how do you 'capture' PCM stream in case of ALSA? It is straight forward to create a PA sink and plug it into PA configuration, but I am wondering about pure ALSA.

Good question :) Roc does not implement any special capturing code for ALSA, it just reads from the given device (using SoX currently). The user is supposed to use something like snd-aloop.

It would be possible to create a custom ALSA plugin I guess, but we have no plans for that currently.

You're right about the transport vs product part. I would prefer to work on the transport. And an ALSA plugin would be a product on top of it so it should be a separate project ideally. Actually, the same is true for our PulseAudio modules. I hope later we will either submit them to upstream or separate into a standalone project.

Interesting, didn't see it before.
I've hired "zero experience programmers without a Bachelor". If there is a clear modicum of ability and desire, I'll give a person a chance to prove themselves.

At least for me, this has generally worked out brilliantly. A few of those hires turned into some of the most technically competent programmers I've ever worked with, and none turned out poorly. Some people are capable of educating themselves to a very high standard in a relatively short period of time. This is a primary characteristic of highly successful inexperienced programmers with degrees as well.
That’s incredibly common in Canada. People can work an entire career in construction or industrially, and pick up very little English or French.
I knew it was a bit of an issue, so I looked it up[1]. Turns out it's far worse than vehicles, and far worse than I thought:

"...the burning of solid fuels (such as house coal and wood) in our homes is the largest contributor of harmful particulate-matter (PM) emissions."

"This makes up 38% of our national PM emissions while, in comparison, industrial combustion is 16% and road transport 12%."

Wood stoves appear to have side-stepped much of our clean air legislation which is woefully out of date anyway. Coal fires have become fairly rare over the same period, so that's mostly down to wood stoves. Haven't heard of any requirements for catalytic converters, which seems a sensible idea.

In my lifetime we've gone from almost nowhere selling wood except wood yards, to everywhere does - mainly in the last 10 years - garages, corner shops, supermarkets. In neat little single use plastic bags. This government has lost 3 court cases on air pollution, and their current targets kick out real action well into the long grass: 2030.

It's ridiculous.

There is a difference between happiness and pleasure and happiness requires no unhappiness to result in others. The only way a sadist can earn happiness is if they are only dealing with masochists and everyone is getting precisely what they want. But masochists do not want misery, they just enjoy the pain, which is as different from misery as happiness is from pleasure, though they may coincide.
I agree with your premise, but peak-time trains on those lines are horrifically overcrowded. Unless you can somehow magic more capacity on the same lines - which was tried recently by tweaking timetables to add a very small amount of extra capacity, which was an utter disaster - you're getting into trying to add lines and / or longer stations in one of the most crowded parts of the UK, with a NIMBY culture like no other. I don't mean to just talk down your ideas, but I don't see the practical fix here in infrastructure terms.
I believe both are useful. the second one enables installing new addons and the first one enables disabled addons (unless you already removed them)

Say you remove/don't proxy the ECS information, and I get some generic, non-geo-location aware response back. In the majority of cases, wouldn't my next step be to open a TCP connection to the IP in the response, and immediately leak my full IP address to the other end? While I get (and appreciate!) the concern for the user's privacy, I'm having a hard time seeing what practical effect not proxying the subnet the user is on has?

(This is not meant to suggest that archive.is's DNS response is appropriate, or that CF's setup is inappropriate.)

(Just to check my understanding of ECS: it's an extension to DNS that sends the user's subnet in the request, and gets relayed with the request, s.t. an authoritative server can respond with a geo-location appropriate response/IP.)
So if you expect nothing, you'll either be infinitely happy or infinitely unhappy based on whether your perceived state is positive or negative?
Good point about Google. They are by far the largest privacy and security threat on those phones. (On any Android phone actually.)

It’s no secret; tight labor markets produce higher wages. The deleterious effects of labor gluts are felt most profoundly at the bottom: the greater the number of people seeking unskilled labor, the lower the wages for “those who need it most”.

Hence, the solution to low wages is to stop importing poor foreigners who undercut American wages. Couple that with the elimination of corporate taxes, and there will be no incentive for offshoring or inverting. Become the world's biggest tax haven, and incomes will skyrocket.

The laws of economics cannot be wished away, and the lesson is clear: cut taxes, close the borders, and prosperity will result. If we could, now, substantially cut social spending – with all these people working, it should be possible to seriously reduce handouts – then we could afford to cut taxes AND pay for the sort of infrastructure program (exclusively projects of national importance) while reducing the deficit.
The point of assignments and such is to guide students through the thought processes useful to understanding material in depth. It's arguably true that some students can get by via guessing or whatever, but the disservice is mainly to themselves. Might as well pay someone to do the work for you.

And then you'll simulate a time appropriate for the device/software. As a date before 2038 to not have unix time overflow. Or 2000. Or any other time specific bug.

Or how often did you have to "fix the internet" for one of your relatives because their damn CMOS battery died? Yeah, time seems to be quite relevant for trust.

I hope she writes the book. It doesn't have to be scholarly, it can just scratch an itch - but I am sure it will be a great contribution to the body of knowledge in that area. Createspace, Lulu, Gumroad are all pretty good resources for taking a single piece from a single print of "vanity" project to something with an isbn and distribution channels, possibly over multiple editions. Some have editing, cover design, and "typesetting" services available for reasonable prices. I hope nothing I've said would give the impression that I would hold this in anything but the highest regard. Best of luck to her.

"In some parts of Asia, particularly India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, the word mutton is sometimes used to describe both goat and sheep meat, despite its more specific meaning, limited to the meat of adult sheep, in the UK, US, Australia and other English-speaking countries."

A confusing use of the word on an international site.
Indeed. What I would really like is a way to toggle it on case-by-case basis. With -fwrapv you have to convince the code owner to toggle it globally, which can complicate things unless you are the owner.
Just take a look around to check out new enterprise MIS projects being implemented with a simple golang backend + reactjs etc frontend. The adoption of intereactive/responsive and single page web UI, and the more iterative development practices are certainly driving to a different direction compared to Spring (and RoR etc). I think the main force is from the frontend tech here and that is why you see them in the same sentence.
People have been spouting “Apple is going to fail” since their inception. People said the original iPhone was a fail for many reasons such as “no one wants a touchscreen” and more.[0] Until Apple fails, they’re not failing. They definitely changed directions under Tim Cook, but that’s because he’s not Steve Jobs. The Apple Watch has been a huge success with over 40% market share.[1]

> Everyone keeps mentioning that iPhones get more expensive, but when you look at it (inflation adjusted), that’s not really true.[

But your own source shows it's really true, and that the current cheaper, sub-flagship iPhone model (XR) is more expensive than the flagship models of previous generations up through the 5 and 5S, even adjusted for inflation, and that the only non-increases for the top-of-line flagship from one year to the next have been a few of the S models where the price dropped very slightly from the prior-year non-S equivalent.
> The point of Right to Work is to prevent predatory unions from doing things like forcing people to pay dues to them or negotiating preferential treatment only to people who choose to pay dues.

I am puzzled about how you can find both of these predatory. You seem to think the only ethical thing for a union to do is to negotiate rates for everyone, but not require anything in exchange. The word for that is “charity”.

This is exactly like requiring insurance companies to accept everyone, including people with ore-existing conditions, but not make the counter-requirement that people get insurance.
Sunlight may be explicitly unwanted since strong light tends to cause a lot of things to decay more quickly and the church presumably has a lot of fragile antiques in it.
Far more faithful to the original than a glass roof.

The guy who did the spire did add his own touch (like any cathedral that took several centuries to build). But with subtlety!

There is nothing subtle about another steel and glass monstrosity which litters modern architecture.

Instead of looking like a place of worship it will look like a fusion of a high rise condo and a nightclub.
Surely military planes are equipped with enough cameras that they don't have to rely on verbal pilot eye witness stories for these things?

I actually graduated from WPI at the same time as this research was going on (2017), and I remember discussing this with a few graduate students who worked in the same lab but on other research.

All the students in the lab knew the research wasn't particularly exciting but that the research space had a lot of potential. There was a lot of hype on the campus when this article (and I think a few other similar ones) came out and started circulating, but I think it made the students who actually did the research uncomfortable, because it was made clear that their advisor had hyped the research for funding purposes.
