Just to clear this up a bit; Apollo doesn't "need to keep raising this kind of funding". Both Meteor and Apollo have been making money. What's really happening here is that both Apollo and its amazing supporters/investors have witnessed first hand the impact that data graph based technology can have on the lives of developers and the productivity (and bottom line) of companies. To help take all of this further, we've decided now is the time to bring more people on board, so we're substantially growing our team (hence the extra dollars).

> They're taking funding and attention away from other more deserving projects.

I've gotta say, I completely disagree with this statement. Meteor and Apollo have both helped thousands of developers do amazing things, for free. Yes, I work for Apollo, but I'll detach for a sec; I can't think of any open source software company on the planet that deserves this more than they do. I can tell you first hand that Apollo cares deeply about open source software (OSS culture is ingrained into the company right from the top), and goes to great lengths to make developers happy and provide ways for developers to use a large portion of the things it builds for free - no strings attached. When I encounter other companies that act like this, I instantly think they should get anything they need to help themselves flourish and thrive - Apollo is no different.
It is geofenced in countries where someone holds the rights to broadcast F1 (like New Zealand). No F1TV for us.
There were proposals for a carrier based F-22 derivative, though.
But it gives access to thousands of hours of training data for that particular aircraft across a range of different situations, and it allows you to test that ML model in real situations.

Moving to something lighter or more aerodynamic becomes a lot easier after that. If you look at the Boeing Airpower/Loyal Wingman UAV, it looks like its based on this concept quite closely.
On the other hand, if you die before getting to 62, your heirs don't get anything from Social Security (spouse aside). Other people will get the money. In that way Social Security seems like other insurance in that payouts are not earned and you're getting other people's money.

Similarly, if an insured house burns down, we'd say the policy holder is entitled to a payout, not that they earned it.

I'm surprised only 8%. My memory of growing up in the UK in the early 80's was that ZX81'S and ZX Spectrums were super common. I bought my ZX81 in 1982 for £50 new which looks like it was maybe $80.
Not much needs to change in terms of Pakistani law -- laws have always favored liberal views and freedom for women in Pakistan. Its just last 20-30 years have been bad socially for Pakistan.

Things have started to turn corner now - media and social activists have rightly pressed case for empowering women and there are number of influential Pakistani female politicians now. Government have started silencing hardliners and have started distancing themselves.

I hope that soon Pakistanis start pushing their girls for better education and to start females to work at all levels of Pakistani economy. This is one thing that is really killing Pakistani economy and is prime reason behind our high population growth. As a Pakistani man, I see good things hopefully for women in Pakistan.

Sigh. If the tokens are tradable (and they will be, otherwise what's the use in trying to earn them), how will this not to turn into yet another blockchain cartel race to the bottom in pursuit of leverage over the thinly traded float?

Have Helium actually solved the paradox of bootstrapping initial distribution of a purportedly decentralized network token from a tiny, necessarily centralized sponsoring body* to the much wider class of eventual user-adopters such that conditions do not favor enabling the former group's outsize leverage over the float to permanently manipulate the chart price - thus purchasing power - of the latter groups "earnings"?

Brazil in political turmoil over alledged Telegram leaks
I'll post a bit of background in a comment for those not in the loop.

Glenn Greenwald's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald) The Intercept has published leaked conversations (from 2015-2018) between prosecutors and Sergio Moro, the judge in Lula's case. The leaks reportedly comprise "over 1700 pages" of Telegram conversations.

In the small portion of the leaks published so far, Moro suggests how operation Carwash should proceed, indicates possible witnesses, directs and counsels the prosecution on how to present evidence and even anticipates his rulings. Lula's defense points out this is grounds for annulment of the entire case. Brazil is currently split in polarization and the leaks are taking precedence over other political matters which until last week dominated the discourse (such as the proposed welfare reforms).

Moro and the Prosecutor's Office did not deny the conversations took place but Moro did not explicitly confirms the contents are true. The Intercept and other journalists are being attacked about the 'illegal' nature of the leaks, mostly, which makes them unusable for criminal prosecution of Moro and prosecutors but can still be used politically and/or might result in overturning many Carwash sentences - including Lula's.

About Telegram and the leaks:

Telegram states "there's no evidence of any hack. Most likely to have been either malware or someone not using a 2-step verification password."

Today, however, someone hacked into a Brazil's Public Prosecutor's Office Telegram group - at first impersonating a member. They later revelead that they were an impostor and stated that they were the hacker responsible for the leaks. If this is correct, the hacker (who states to not be politically motivated and "just an IT guy") can still (reliably?) gain access to Telegram's conversations and is also capable of impersonating people.

I think the difference is between productivity gain. In these early days, you bought a computer or you had to use a calculator and paper. It's the difference between automating a dentist or realtors office or not doing automation.

Now, buying a new computer results in marginal productivity gains because likely it's just replacing another computer and maybe improving things or maybe just adding a touch-bar.

Lula (left-wing politician) was Brazil's president for two terms (2003 through 2010) and was followed by Dilma Roussef trailing off of his extremely high popularity. Dilma was impeached in 2016, midway through her second term, following the political scandals brought to light by operation 'Carwash' (Lava Jato), which comprises until now over a thousand warrants for search, arrests, and so forth. Her impeachment was highly debated and to this day Lula's party (PT, "worker's party") claims it was a "bland coup".

Judge Sergio Moro, who judged most of the cases involving high corruption, achieved very high popularity and opinions about him divided the country. Through several extremely controversial actions he influenced Dilma's impeachment, and later the 2018 election. Since then Moro is accused of being a partial, politically inclined judge, persecuting unfairly several high-ranking members of PT. He has always denied that.

Regardless, the public opinion has kept Operation Carwash in very high regards with a sizeable portion of the population and is credited with helping elect Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's current president, by fostering the 'anti-PT' movement. Lula was sent to jail in a _extremely_ controversial ruling by Moro and several other legal manouvers (leaks, stopping him from giving interviews, which is unconstitucional, for example). NEvertheless, none of the decisions have been overturned and Brazil's Supreme Court generally allowed all these controversial actions.

Surprisingly, Lula's popularity didn't completly waver and his appointed candidate (Haddad) made it to the second round of the election, although he lost to Jair Bolsonaro.

Accusations against Moro mounted after he accepted an invitation to become Bolsonaro's minister of Justice, benefitting from the election of the man he helped elect, and after Bolsonaro stated he would indicate him to the next Supreme Court seat.

I think the heart of all networking issues is that it’s hard to imagine a system more complex than the one you have today. IPv6’s main weakness is the lack of mobile IP and even as we work to solve that problem we are creating new problems that will only be clear in another decade or two.
> SOC2/HITRUST/SOX all mandate the removal of admin rights from computers, mandate an approval process w/ manager approval

I’ve heard this before, but never with any detail. Can you explain further, or point to a resource? For example, clearly SOX doesn’t say that nobody can have admin rights - because IT does. And I highly doubt that the law says that only departments with IT in the title can have admin access. So what does it really say?
But a 64 for a single host isn’t driven by any of that.

The full description sounds like a normal digital camera to be honest, almost as if someone has gone to great verbal lengths to disguise the fact it is simply a camera:

For many years I had heard that the real enforcement tool was the fact that anyone selling a TV in the UK, like an electrical retailer such as Comet or Currys, had to submit the name and address of the purchaser to the TV Licensing authority.

The last couple generations of fighters have moved away from airframes that are passively stable (imagine a car or something that requires no control to remain upright).

Newer designs are only stable when their attitude is constantly monitored and adjusted by control software. (To continue the metaphor, imagine a Segway or a pogo stick, more agile than a car)

The benefit you get from giving up passive stability is increased maneuverability in the case of fighters.
What is so hard to get about it?
Have you ever known someone to decide "Let's not take the car this time, it'd create too much congestion for other people"? Because that's a different cost, in amount and not just in who pays, from "With the traffic it'll take us 5 minutes longer than usual". You're not getting the negative feedback of your own decision here either; it's an increment like how when the CO2 goes out the tailpipe, the air right around you the driver is for you personally a little worse.

Of course reality is more complex than a toy model. I brought up the simplest model because your objection seems to me even cruder. People are not generally Hofstadter's superrational agents directly overcoming game-theoretical equilibria in prisoner's dilemmas with a million strangers.
Some parts of antarctica get very close the freezing point of CO2 in the winter. It might not take too much energy (wind?) to encourage the atmospheric CO2 to freeze and then bury that deep in the ice sheet where the pressure would keep it solid.

AR, not VR, right? Pretty sure they were doing that in helicopters years ago. Doesn't the Apache have a 30mm autocannon slaved to the pilot's helmet display, such that it shoots where the pilot looks? I'm no helmet geek, but I think that stuff came out in the 80s.

I suppose the F-35's implementation is cooler, on account of being newer, but it doesn't seem earth shattering to me.

These complaints are usually by people who have not been using modern Java, or who have just been reading or hearing unsubstantiated claims about it. Or who haven't worked in large golang projects to see all the mess it brings with it because of how underpowered it is.

Look up libraries like Spark[1] or Javalin[2] and you get something quite light weight. Or DropWizard[3] if you need something more holistic.

That being said, the moment you need something more involved, say validation, DB access, pre- or post- endpoint call processing (e.g. for authorization), then golang completely falls on its face. There is nothing in golang that compares to Jooq[4] for instance, and because golang doesn't have annotations, you can't do automatic validation or authorization, and you end up having to do everything manually in a verbose and error prone manner.

For static compilation in Java, GraalVM is supposed to be quite good[5]

Their definition of DevOps is encapsulated in the first two sentences of the article. In short, "Developers and IT Operations working together as a single team."

Except OpenBSD isn't shipping broken patches.. so I'm struggling to see your point.

There's a pretty substantial difference between 3 days and 90 days (or 100). And one could argue that any amount of days after the embargo ends, is plenty opportunity for their paying customers to remain vulnerable without having provided any fixes, regardless of whether it is broken or not.
Some decent answers in this stack overflow thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44859200/what-are-the-di... and a good response from IPFS creator jbenet here: https://github.com/ipfs/faq/issues/119#issuecomment-21827839...

I think it's possible to view Dat and IPFS as two different layers of a stack that can interoperate and each solve useful problems at their layer. For example, Dat has more UX focus and high-level abstractions making generic app development smooth and easy (an area IPFS is weaker - though https://medium.com/textileio has been working to make this much better), while IPFS has the benefit of global name-spacing and content-addressing primitives that enable deduplication across identical datasets and validate the content is what you asked for (used by tools like Qri to do dedup within a data commons: https://qri.io/faq/). I've seen demos of projects using both together, each for their unique strengths - but there's still a ways to go to make interop easy.

> NAT automatically prevents attackers from scanning for and attacking listening ports on the hosts behind it.

That the firewall, not NAT. NAT on it's own - without a firewall, a very unusual configuration - will route packets to your "private" addresses if that address is in the packet's DST address field (maybe; it depends on the rules the router uses when deciding how to rout a packet, which is also not NAT). NAT is only about changing the address field. RFC 2663 even recommends that NAT should usually be "used in conjunction with firewalls to filter unwanted traffic". Unless you're referring specifically to changing the address/port fields in the packet header, you are probably referring to a stateful firewall. That's the feature that is usually responsible for dropping packets, preventing scanning of your LAN.

TL;DR - address translation (NAT), and choosing what to do with a packet (firewall, routing rules) are separate, independent features. NAT - by itself - isn't really involved in routing/firewall step. That's why it's extremely unusual to see NAT in isolation. The thing you see on e.g. most home routers is basic use of NAT combined with a simple router and (hopefully) a powerful stateful firewall.

> should also know enough to forward the ports

That's nice iff you get to decide which ports are forwarded. Good luck getting a carrier to forward ports. It isn't going to happen if you're in some parts of China behind 7 layers of NAT. Port forward in that situation would be a nightmare, assuming it was even theoretically possible to convince the 7 upstream authorities that they should forward a port to you.

However, minutia about port forwarding doesn't address my main point: that NAT limits the type of software that is developed. Are you really going to write a network app that only works if people setup port forwarding? Would business use telephone for as many purposes if phone numbers were all shared party lines?

> That requires extra action on the part of the "attackee"

That "extra action" is probably the most common vector of infection for modern malware. Ignore it at your own peril.

I don’t see it. No users care that NAT breaks the end to end principle. That’s only something users care about that want to accept connections, which is <1%.

TCP and UDP have been running over NAT for so long that they work completely fine. People who make the mistake of assuming asymmetric ports or putting IPs in the payload fail so early that they quickly learn.

There is so little actual pressure to implement ipv6 that it’s starting to look pretty doomed.
