As it happens - neither is a day, or even an hour. The exceptions are rarer, which only makes bugs even more insidious when they do happen (like dealing with leap-seconds, for example. Some hours have 3601 seconds!).

I would suspect that ads make it difficult if not impossible to write a good CSP. It's also probably much easier to create a good CSP if you start with it, and much harder and likely to break unexpectedly if you try to add it retroactively on an existing site.

I also found that some modern tooling for web apps doesn't seem to be built with CSPs in mind. For example CSS styling in JS like React Styled Components, I'm not sure it's even possible to create a CSP that covers CSS in this case.

The core problem is that you could put any country in there. USA think they have freedom to do what they please because of their economic and military power. Britain thinks they can leave and have a better time out of the EU etc. All countries are ruthless. Some do it a pleasant but deceiving way the others do it out in the open. At least with China you get to see what and how they are implementing it. US you don't. Who's more secretive?
The funny thing with my dog, who we've done some scent work with, is that his nose seems to need to be focused and 'switched on' to really work.

If I throw him a treat and he misses it, he will default to looking around with his eyes and missing it until I point it out. But give him the ready cue, and he can find a tiny piece of food or odour hidden in a drawer in a room in under a minute.

So my take on that is it takes a lot of processing power to run the nose, and after a search session it's definitely nap time.

And side note, I'd like to see AI efforts aiming at the level of a dog before we go for humans. It's amazing what they can do but it takes so long to train them and you have to start from scratch each time.

> They phrased it this way: sure, we don't have a free press, and we have a benevolent tyrant running the place, but:

I think the bigger problem is people completely mischaracterizing what Singapore is.

Modern Singapore is nothing like a "benevolent tyranny". The best way to characterize it is probably to imagine a large, well-run city with strict laws, heavy bureaucracy, expansive regulation and government involvement in business, and whose politics are dominated by one political party. None of these are extremely rare traits for a city.

Yes, Singapore does have black spots in its record with respect to human rights. Most of this is in the past (primarily during the post-war period, where many other countries have similar black spots with regards to the treatment of communists), but I argue that this aspect has been incredibly exaggerated in the foreign perception of Singapore.

The reason why I raise this is that your comparison to Singapore is invalid: Singapore is already very much similar to a "Western democracy". It holds free and transparent elections (the fact that policies favor the incumbent party does not detract from the fact that the elections are fairly run, and next to no one questions this.) No one holds back criticism of the government in private or in public - they do hesitate for more official mediums (e.g. newspapers, television) because of legal repurcussions e.g. libel. I have never once encountered any instance of censorship with teeth (there have been instances where the government suspended the distribution license of a print magazine... in the age of the Internet).

Please stop using modern Singapore as an example of "benevolent tyranny".

tldr; Link to a twitter rant in the middle of a messy finger-pointing exercise. Unsurprisingly, the author of said rant considers himself a victim of some kind of witchhunt.

I think this guy's main problem is that he just doesn't get it. At best he thinks he's sharpening Science by pointing out where it has not yet been conclusive on some subjects (e.g. the link between climate change and extreme weather events). He might actually be right about that specific point, but others with even better credentials dispute that. On a range of other issues, he's got a worse record. Wikipedia quotes him:

"In coming decades the only policies that can effectively be used to manage the immediate effects of climate variability and change will be adaptive."

This isn't him just pointing out that data is missing. He's full-on advocating we do nothing about emissions but adapt to the effects as they come. He uses the telling word "variability"--a dog whistle to all those deniers who think that somehow climate just "varies" and what we are seeing somehow within some "normal" envelope. He's flat wrong, and he's spreading misinformation and feeding deniers and trolls. Worldwide we are in some seriously deep shit and he's taking potshots and seriously mudding the waters for who knows why the hell.

"When a reporter recently challenged Liu to answer the middle-school questions about the “meaning” and the “central themes” of his story, he didn’t get a single one right. “I’m a writer,” he told me, with a shrug. “I don’t begin with some conceit in mind. I’m just trying to tell a good story.”"

Does anybody have a link or know more about this ?
This would make it harder to build a fingerprint, especially if responses were sampled from a number of independent sources.

The next logical step in the arms race would likely involve fingerprinting systems using more bits than strictly necessary, and using error correcting codes - i.e. treat the sampling as "noise" to be overcome.

It seems both more straightforward and more effective to build recursion paths that you can trust aren't doing any intentional or unintentional caching.

This of course means the performance benefits of caching go away. This has been a theme in computing lately (i.e. CPU speculative execution leaks such as meltdown).

A recursor could be built which only uses each query response once, with prefetching used to reduce the performance impact.

However, the mere fact prefetched responses exist would also leak data.
DevOps is not about letting devs control everything that goes into production. There is a much deeper problem with npm and the bloat driven web development. The amount of JS code an average website had more than a rich client implementation would be. The generic argument for web used to be that the resulting size of the web site is smaller than the rich client. This is not true anymore.
Even the ones that do have gameplay lie or exaggerate the limits of their game (looking at you, Todd Howard, Peter Molyneux, and Sean Murray).

It's simply marketing spin, gameplay or no gameplay, it's why you can never really trust such hyped up demonstrations and they can only tell you about their product, not show it. That also applies in further interviews on various news outlets.
That's what the group that hacked the NSA did.

No, but I would push for central banks/politicians to wake up and establish usable digital currencies and payment as part of the general market infrastructure of the 21st century.
Perhaps I have some meta-expertise on judging the correlation between credentials and credibility.

It's worth mentioning, perhaps, that a lot of writers don't have a plan/outline: Stephen King, for example, who has described in great detail how he works in "On writing": he starts with a situation and develops it as he writes. In fact, in most cases where I've read about how a writer works there is no plan/outline. However, it was mentioned in court proceedings that Dan Brown had an outline for "The Da Vinci Code", so I don't have sufficient evidence to conclude which approach is most popular. Perhaps it's just those writers who like to write about writing that prefer not to have a plan.
Isn't it amazing how short politicians' memories are?

It's been only 30 years since the GDR (German "Democratic" Republic, aka East Germany) collapsed. In the GDR, all rent was regulated to a "fair" level. The result was a universal scarcity of housing, and existing houses were decaying, because nobody would invest any amount of money into maintenance. The best housing available in the 1980s were those ugly and uncomfortable apartment buildings made from mass produced concrete slabs, which everyone just remembers as socialist architecture. And "available" meant you had to wait for many years. Still, the alternative was to live in a house built in 1910-1930 and not maintained since 1950.

There is no place in the world that could document this failed policy better than Berlin: the contrast between East Berlin (ugly ruins) and West Berlin (nice houses) is striking, even today. But the Berlin senate decides to go with socialist thinking again. However, that was to be expected after the Berliners voted the old Socialist Unified Party (renamed twice, but otherwise unchanged) into the senate.
yes to all of them? I love these concepts but who wants to maintain CSP's and audit revisions to 3rd party javascript in a fast moving environment (see my DevOps is crap rant below). Maybe I start a new project with best intentions, but then marketing comes, then there is pressure to just get on with it ... Even with best intentions, it's literally impossible to keep track as the system matures and complexity increases. And you eventually have to give up on auditing any of the external resources (who even does that in the first place - instead we all assume it has been properly checked by the upstream vendor).

Having a "security-ops meeting" to discuss whether we should really be using shiny new XYZ.js from another external provider isn't going to work either. It all seems like it's more of a mindset problem than a technical one. It's one hot mess.
> Multiple agreements will be signed with various financial institutions and probably more with various telecom in those regions, to allow people to load up their accounts with fbcoins and join the Great Internet Spending Frenzy.

This is the part I don't get. I thought we were talking about all-cash economies in regions with essentially no banking, but then you bring up "various financial institutions [...] in those regions". So is it that they have banks but just aren't using them? If so, what is it about FBCoin that's going to suddenly make such people want to go en masse to their bank to get them, if they didn't bother doing so to get all the security and additional payment options that a bank account already offered? (Pardon the ignorance, I'm genuinely trying to understand how this bootstrapping could work.)
With your pithy reply you miss the critical fact that the german version of rent control isn't actually rent control. It just pegs how much rent for any given apartment can increase to how much the rent in that area has recently increased. In practice this means that all rents increase at the same rate as before the "control" was put in place.

If you have decent routers you can do that too. For example you can create a separate ssid with different IP space and NAT.
That chart is for interchange fees, which is only one part of the fees a merchant will pay. It's the portion which is returned to the issuing bank.

CD Projekt did an amazing job with Witcher 3, but the fact is that Witcher 2's E3 video is one of the more infamous examples of graphics being severely downgraded once the final product ships. Witcher 3's E3 video contains very little gameplay but the cut schenes included have noticably worse graphics in the same cut scenes in the actual game. Gwent's E3 video barely contained any gameplay at all, and it wasn't representative of the released game at all.

CD Projekt retained trust because Witcher 3 is an amazing game - not because they delivered games with graphics matching their E3 videos.
> There is also a limited amount of it.

Do people trade gold 'still in the mountain'? I could start a market for gold still underground, effectively saying "you have purchased 1kg of gold, but to redeem, you have to pay $500 of mining costs".

Since there is a near unlimited supply of gold in the entire earth's crust, that could work to make a price ceiling on actual gold, which in turn would severely reduce its use as a reserve currency.

Biggest bank in Russia (Sberbank) introduced a simple feature:
if you know a phone number of a person, you can enter it on their website and if the owner of the phone number has any account with Sberbank you can send him money.
The convenience of such feature was so big that it caused people move from other banks to Sberbank just to use it. Eventually leading to government regulation making this feature bank-agnostic.

The point here is: people who are used to Internet and the way things work here can't understand the old-fashioned companies.

Why sending money overseas cost such enormous amounts of money?
Why bank fees are so difficult to understand?
Why there is fee when moving money within the same bank, when we all know that it is simple transaction in the database?

Sony has changed their console strategy; for PS1-PS3 they made everything weird and complicated to show off. This gave them lock-in and made exclusive games prettier, once people had figured out how to program them, but the consoles were super expensive and cross-platform developers weren't interested.

PS4 is just a PC with some useful extras; PS5 probably will be too.
It is kind of sad to see a simple question answered with a personal attack.

Some journalists (or some such) were standing in front of one of her pieces, discussing the deeper meaning behind the work and what the artist must have been trying to express at the time. My Mum just laughed and said "the only thing behind this piece was three bottles of wine"
I agree with your thoughts on Slack completely. Building on Slack was a decision I needed to make to realize the Alpha of this concept. I selected Slack because of the wide ranging types of people that already use it. I’m hoping Futureland can be a collision of many different creative disciplines. I live in Toronto and the density of telegram users here is low. At least in my life experience.

Over time if Futureland continues to be useful to others, I hope it can exist and provide value entirely on its own.

In this case I should also give credit and thanks to Slack. If it wasn’t for their existing software I wouldn’t have been able to get to this point.
"I'd be a dissident earmarked for a concentration camp"

From what I remember of Duncan Campbell's Secret Society I believe the legislation for just emergency measures as interment of 'subversives' and other emergency measures was drafted during the Cold War - this would be expected to be passed by parliament in the event of a suitable emergency. I would suspect these things have never been thrown out but will still be there in a filing cabinet somewhere in Whitehall.

Let's hope we don't meet in a camp one day and laugh about the naivety of our postings on HN....
I believe you fail to grok GP's point.

The mapping from "month" units to "days" units is well-defined. It's just some function that happens to be non-constant over the month ordinal.

Heck, if we start down the "precise time definition" rabbit hole, though, then neither does "day" have some philosophically unassailable notion, cf. leap seconds. Even the unit of "second" ends up pulling in a whole heck of a lot of physics machinery just to nail down some semblance of rigor.

Anyway, despite being such an intuitively simple and practically functional concept, the notion of time amd time measurement turns out to be suprisingly subtle and to have a fascinating history. I highly recommend jumping down that rabbit hole. Hehe

Anyway, I'm surprised calc.exe doesn't calculate with and store dates using some kind of epoch time.
They pay quite well if you measure that by how many hours of work you must do to pay a mortgage on a nice home. This is because:

1. It's typically a 40-hour week. They legally can't make you work 48 or more without paying overtime, and many will start paying overtime after 40.

2. You don't have to live in an expensive place like San Francisco, Palo Alto, Mountain View, or New York City. The worst cases are usually the DC area and San Diego, but typical locations are far cheaper. Instead of $2,000,000 for a house, you might pay $120,000 for a better house. Everything around you is cheaper too, from food to electricity. Gasoline is half the cost.

The choice is pretty clear if you hope to raise a family.

Yeah, living in the suburbs of or reasonably close to a large metropolis is where it's at. As soon as you want/need a good or service that goes even slightly outside of the local mainstream, it will almost always be available only in a big city. The bigger the more likely that it will be available.
