That works great if I'm looking for an official video from the Wall Street Journal, but not if I'm watching Fred's Blog Channel. Also, what if I want to edit something? What if I want to tweak the color profile? Add an effect? And as pointed out by another comment, you'd get a modified camera and feed it into the sensor, or modify the firmware. And some guy in China will do a clean-room RE and make little video signers.

The bottom line is it's a cool idea, but I don't think it will work, and I don't think it will stop fake anything. Also, most of us complain about code signing when it affects us; why would this be different? Fred the Blogger can't get an "official video signing certificate", which is probably what we would end up with. Or better yet, get the government involved and create a Bureau of Trustworthy Video Sources!

When Cleanroom did it, it was anywhere from a little cheaper to a little more expensive. Praxis's process had lower defects with higher, upfront costs. The one quote I heard on price was about 50% more than other suppliers. Praxis and some Cleanroom suppliers issued warranties for their code at specific defect rates. So, I imagine it's not as hard as you suggest to have high quality software. Heck, I think companies saying their stuff is higher quality could get away with less quality than those warrantied products given current state of software market.

The better headline here is that 1% own a third of the wealth.
Perhaps you misread what I said: looking at the top 10% rather than top 1% implies that more people are getting proportionally wealthier, when it's only the 1% that is getting wealthier. The former implication is "less bleak" than the latter reality.

Even though this is your opinion I find this statement extremely ridiculous.

I don't support or agree with their views, but free speech grants them the right to say it and I will defend that right (which includes everyone).

You're right about the limits of containers. When I'm browsing normally, the default is not to be logged into Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Things like my "Gmail this" bookmark fail because I set up Gmail in its own container.

However, I find it very useful to have specific containers for Facebook, banking, other social networks, most of my gmail accounts, etc. So I can be doing stuff for my son's soccer club's email without it affecting my own gmail.

I think of containers as a user tool. It seems like profiles are more of a developer tool.

I don't share your fatalist view, nor do I think your 'realism' is anything more than a justification for continued bad behaviour.

The world doesn't change when someone says "that's how its always been". It hasn't always been the case that the US can get away with its war crimes - however I believe this argument would be better executed if either one of us had actual experience with being the loser in a war crime situation.

My experience with refugees from America's illegal wars has definitely prompted me to take a look at what I've been ignoring about my own culture. I have to wonder if you would be so flip about America's war crimes, if you'd had any experience with the results themselves. It would be a pity if that's the only way your apathy would be moved.

Looks like in 2018, "total assets" is $110 trillion, and an overall net worth of just under $98 trillion.

This puts 70% of net worth/total wealth at $68.5 trillion, owned by the top 10%. I'm sure someone can find the "number of households" but I don't have it handy, so I'm going to just go with 120 million, and see what the average wealth of the top 10% (12 million households) is:

$5.7 million

Of course, the 9.999% above the bottom person could own way more, and that final 0.001% that qualifies might have much less than $5.7 million. So how do you figure out that piece?

Oh - someone else provided a link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20051782

Looks like in 2017 $1.1 million qualified you for 10%, while a little over $10 million qualifies you for 1%. (That's almost too neat...)
Maybe it's just me, but what I've found most difficult about clojure isn't the language itself, it's the java ecosystem around it. I found clojurescript to be much easier to start working with, and I can only assume it's the javascript backend.

What threat model does concealing DNS but not indirecting traffic via Tor address, given that Tor can also tunnel DNS? Cloudflare's not wrong that the DNS requests are hidden, but many classes of observer who could read your DNS request could also see you connect to the resting host?

Follow up question, do you trust CloudFlare not to manipulate the results of DNS more or less than Google?

‘He Was Ignored’: Workers at Brazil’s Vale Predicted Dam’s Tragic Collapse
What would annual income requirements be? I remember a few years ago when I looked it up, the 1% of top income earners was somewhere around $350~$400k/year minimum (depending on which stat you used). Think about that. Less than 1% of Americans ear over $350k/yr ... and most of them earn far far more than than (several million).

I assume the average senior developer here in a mid-range city probably makes around $120k ~ $160k. Where does that fall into national averages on just income (and yes, I realize this article is talking about overall wealth and not necessarily income).

Wait a minute... First Google DNS provide both DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS, second Pihole (or should I say dnsmasq, or FTL the name of their dnsmasq fork) does not support forwarding DNS query request to upstream using neither DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS.

The thing about poor people is, they don't have money to invest. Teaching the poor to invest is like teaching the starving to cook.

Moreover, you are simply not correct to say that living standards are improving for everyone. Life expectancy in the United States has gone down for the third year running (the first time that's happened since WWI) due in large part to crises that disproportionately affect poor people.

It's typically the 80-90% range. It's also typically divided into thirds for B-/B/B+. I actually got a B+, so it would have been closer to 90%.
I wish I had a deep and thoughtful answer, but a simplistic one is that we do get to keep 100% of the revenue for the ads we sell so in that sense we make more.

Because our content is so specific, ads which are relevant to the content end up targeting the user because you wouldn't be spending time on the site unless you care about the content.
>but the internet infrastructure itself?

Kind of. The Internet is similar to a chain link fence. Every link in the chain needs to perform its role as expected, otherwise shit breaks.

In the case of the Internet, there are many ISPs that are leak links in the chain.
Really this doesn't go far enough. Why are we allowing people to discriminate at all when it comes to intimate relationships? What about factors like personality, physical appearance, marital status, age, gender or political opinions? Really dating apps should just randomly assign you someone to have sex with and refuse to give you more matches until you provide evidence you have done so. Given people might be unwilling to comply with these directives it probably needs to be enforced by the state, at gunpoint if necessary, for us to achieve the unbiased utopia that all right thinking people must want.
Why does it matter, though? They claim the list is there purely for your own personal consumption. If that's true, and you don't care to use it, it costs you nothing that it exists. If that's false, then it doesn't matter whether you can delete it or not, because if they're willing to lie about its uses, they would also be willing to lie about whether they deleted it.

> I don't know if it's possible to design a system that somehow always favors the rights of the individual.

This is why people keep objecting to technological solutions to social problems. Adblocking is a stopgap technological solution (although very effective at the moment); properly protecting the rights of the individual requires a social and legal process.
Also agreed. I've already long since pulled almost everything I use away from Google, with the exception of my cell phone (I'm a Fi subscriber).

Now I'm beginning to look into alternative cell phone plans, simply because Google's insistence on advertising doesn't sit well with me.

I currently work at an advertising agency (doing IT stuff), and I'm in the process of job hunting for this exact reason. I can't justify spending my time helping people who are insistent on finding new, increasingly intrusive ways to advertise.

Prisoner's dilemma imo. The second group only wins out here because other options exists. If everyone was forced to share all software ala GPLv3 with literally no other alternatives then we would see even more and better software everywhere (maybe).
> This seems to assume that the tests will be higher quality than the problematic code in the first place.

If the problem lies with probematic code then tests are not the problem. At most they're just yet another way that problematic code affects the problem.

>> unlike the other millennials who are too afraid

A serious consideration for recruiters working for these agencies is that millennial truly fear the interview process. They believe that the NSA/CIA has their entire browsing history on file, that the interview process may see them confronted by some awful website they visited late one night in their teens. Or they fear any examination of their past may be shared with law enforcement. These are legitimate fears that recruiters must address. The reality is that such histories are not kept on file and/or are not part of the interview process.

It's just Physicists in general.

https://xkcd.com/793/ (scroll over text is on point here)

Especially when they get older, they try to apply the 'make a cow a sphere of water, one meter in radius' trick all sorts of other areas. The issue is that they can't deal with 'history' in real life. Most of life is chaotic and the initial conditions and stochastic nature of the world make it almost impossible to predict anything. Not all things can be made into neat theories, in fact, it's a miracle that anything does fit into neat little theories. Physicists don't like that. Typically, they start throwing around all sorts of math-y sounding words when they realize that their 'model' won't work at all (Oh, just take the Hamiltonian, that'll solve it). If that still doesn't work, they make an excuse to go to a bar as soon as possible.
The 100% MC/DC testing in SQLite does not force the code to be well-architected, but it does help us to improve the architecture.

(1) The 100% branch test coverage requirement forces us to remove unreachable code, or else convert that code into assert() statements, thereby helping to remove cruft.

(2) High test coverage gives us freedom to refactor the code aggressively without fear of breaking things.

So, if your developers are passionate about long term maintainability, then having 100% MC/DC testing is a big big win. But if your developers are not interested in maintainability, then forcing a 100% MC/DC requirement on them does not help and could make things worse.

As it should be -- by community dilution I was referring more to mind share around Mastodon and also the likelihood that Gab's community would soften its alt-right focus if it's able to get traction with a wider audience that may lean right but is not hard right.

I think this kind of federation for under-served audiences, combined with good productization, is a necessary step towards a future where fan-out 'microblogging' has the same place in our society as email. To me, it was quite a sight to see Congress speaking to half a dozen white men about how to decide what words people can say to each other over the Internet -- the absence of a representative for regulating "email speech" made it clear the importance of decentralizing these services.
Firefox just runs so slowly compared to Chrome on my 2015 MBP. I have zero extensions and it's a default install. Such a bummer too. ( I use Firefox on my desktop PC though. )
People here are gushing amazing over pihole but I don't find it that amazing in the least. In fact what you're describing is one of the most annoying parts of it. I still use it and I did donate to it but it's hardly without it's annoyances. In fact if I didn't already own one I wouldn't build another.

There isn't a chrome extension or anything to white list a site quickly. You have to go back into the interface, login, and whitelist, go back and load the page then you'll find that you needed to whitelist a few subdomains/cdns as well. This is really fun when you've got all your devices using the Pihole for DNS and you can't load something on your phone/TV and need to run to your laptop to deal with it.

If you just got your pihole you probably threw in a bunch of community generated lists and you'll find a good amount of stuff you do visit gets blocked. You can get to Google but not Google drive, so you whitelist it. And you do this over and over again until you finally get annoyed because you just want to make a car payment so you permanently disable it for 5 minutes, or 60 minutes if you've gotten annoyed enough.

Sometimes weeks will go by and you'll forget you even had it disabled at all.

FWIW, I also don't use NoScript because I find it incredibly annoying. This is one step further from the NoScript annoyance because you have to go into the webUI and make your changes.

If you don't mind NoScript you'll probably be fine with Pihole. Or if you have the time to curate and pick lists that fit exactly within your browsing habits.

> Someone at Google in the higher ups probably realized at one point that giving the user so much freedom and control could theoretically backfire enourmously.

If that is the case, it seems very short sighted.

While this change is obviously not in the interest of any user, there are multiple ways around it.. the alternative solutions are not so easy right now, but they will become more user friendly as they rise to the surface as the new way to block ads. The affect on Google's revenue will be short term (if any), but I suspect the affect on Google's public image will be significant and lasting. It doesn't seem worth the risk to Google for such a short term gain.
Yes. On the routing level. The attacker literally announces 'This IP address network is mine now' via BGP and gets the traffic. Most such incidents are not real attacks though, but misconfigurations. And there are the MANRS recommendations, which can prevent a lot of problems, including the one described in the article.
