If your cache can face-tank a HTTP-DDoS, you don't need fragile fingerprinting techniques to distinguish bad from good, thus reducing the user impact (less accidentally-blocked users). The less cost you have for filling that 100 Gbit NIC with your TLS cache traffic, the more boxes you can afford. Internet exchanges are surprisingly cheap to connect to.

Of course sharing resources between a couple services would be good, as NICs and switch ports are sill a way from free.

What does that mean?

I don't know of any US "filtering" outside of legal action to take a site offline.

And what is "wild anti-humanism contents."?

Probably is going to be a fatal flaw, since it leaves you open to the "rubber hose" sector of attacks (in various legal forms).
From the article linked in a sibling comment:

“Documented immigrants can now be deported from the United States if they break the rules of federal and state programs that offer public benefits to immigrants.

New guidelines implemented last week by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services say that immigrants who abuse “any program related to the reception of public benefits” will be summoned to appear before an immigration court.”

Basically... By misrepresenting themselves in order to steal services to which they are not entitled. This seems to me like something that either is already, or ought to be, a crime.

There are, however, some more egregious errors on the part of ICE (rather than CIS, mentioned in the article). I just can't trust people to be honest with the details here.
Even in this case, after a failure of one engine, the other engine(s) are set to a higher thrust, which increases likelihood of their failure.

Have you ever been managed by a passive-aggressive person? I haven't personally, but I know many people who have been, and the stain they leave on a team lasts years.

Your implication here is that it the the subordinate's job to read the mind of management. She must know what is 'proper' in her manager's mind outside of the explicit rules of the job. Management, however, is allowed to read her state of mind incorrectly and adjust her pay accordingly.

Obviously power imbalances like this exist everywhere, and it's wise to be proactive and careful, but that doesn't mean we should hold up examples like these as just or reasonable outcomes.
Sure the power law holds in the stock market value ($), but you're confusing that it will hold with market returns (%) as well.

The rate of return (%) has been better for pension funds, IRA, 401ks invested in market wide index funds than the wealthy that have invested in active hedge funds. (This has been very true historically, especially net of fees.)

So it's fair to say that the wealthy have seen worse returns compared to the public. And that the public has seen the "lion share" of market growth.
How to Tame “Automation Sprawl”
Yea I replied to that. It's always been a crime. I'm a naturalized citizen. We all are made to understand that until we gain citizenship, any criminal actions can stop the process or even lead to cancellation and deportation. It's not a surprise at all.
The are talking about moving over 100x times as much water per year as we move oil. Further, it’s only going to freeze during winter adding even more time constraints.

Just desalination of this much water would cost ~5 trillion dollars in the US. Doing this in the Antarctic winter would probably double that if not more.
Taking my 7980xe as an example:
When it runs non-avx512 loads, I currently have it set to run at 4.1 GHz (all-core).
When running avx-512 heavy loads, it instead runs at 3.6 GHz -- and tends to get much hotter (70-80C instead of 50-60C). 3.6 GHz is a mild overclock; Silicon Lottery reports 100% can achieve that speed for avx512 loads.[1]

Running programs doing the same thing (eg, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo where the likelihood function has or has not been vectorized), the avx512 version is far faster than scalar, and routinely 50%+ faster than avx2.

The avx512 instruction set itself also provides conveniences that make it easier to explicitly vectorize, even if most compilers don't take advantage of them on their own. Masking load and store operations in particular (they're better about masking to handle branches).

On why avx512 vs a graphics card:
I need double precision, and my code routinely has maximum widths smaller than the 32 or 64 a graphics card would want to computer in parallel.

I've only compared it to sulphur dioxide and the risks look fewer. The other benefit of enhanced weathering with olivine distributed in energetic waters is that it removes CO2 from the ocean (letting the ocean act as a carbon sink for the atmosphere).

I'm interested in learning more about research into enhanced weathering, could you provide some recommendations?
Tinfoil theory incoming: NSA pressures windows to have the largest attack surface possible by default. With the hope that any given targeted system will have at least one piece of default bloatware still running, presumably they have 0-days for most all of them.

That seems... foolish? Like allowing a root/intermediate CA to sign leaf certs to be valid after their own expiration.
I was the most experienced developer and original author, that's a lot of knowledge. There was no one left who was motivated enough and it would have taken much longer than two weeks. I left plenty of documentation behind, but there are so many edge cases where having access to a brain that was involved in the process is invaluable.
My father once told me that honor is what separates men from animals, and honor is what you do when nobody is looking. We all get to choose who we are.

I was also fortunate to attend a university with an honor system, to the extent that exams weren't even allowed to be proctored. Whether you cheated or not was up to you, nobody would know.

I appreciated that system, and have tried to live it long after graduation. I could go on, but it has proved to be more than worthwhile.
If a house is being rented out to a tenant for $1,000 a month when it could plainly be rented out to a different tenant for $1,200 a month then there is charity afoot. It might be rent control (ie, compulsory charity) but someone is getting something that they didn't work for.

Now I'm not against charity as a concept, but we have a century or so of economic experience on this matter. If charity becomes compulsory, first people make stupid decisions and then the vulnerable have to live with the consequences of those decisions.

Being born gives everyone a right to dignity but it certainly does not give anyone a right to choose that someone else sets them up in a house and area of their preference. If somebody wants control of their own life, they are going to need to earn enough to either buy their own house, learn to build their own house or pay market rates for rent. It would be nice if there was a better way; but all the alternatives that are tried turn out worse than being honest about the economics of the situation up front.

> I’m pretty sure you lost track of your own analogy there. If there are better deals at a different supermarket, people will just go there...

If there are better deals in a rental market, people absolutely will go there. There are substantial costs of the order of a few hundred dollars to hire removalists, that isn't cheap but people aren't going to be so overwhelmed with emotion that they can't move a few blocks over for a $3,000 a year improvement in rents.

> It’s not “charity” when you’re paying through the nose for something that you don’t have a realistic choice about.

I've lived in 4 different communities in my life. I don't accept that moving somewhere with a lower cost of living is so terrible that people need to be protected from it - I can do it, it isn't bad. Somebody who can't afford to live in a neighborhood should be encouraged to move somewhere cheaper, and the idea that landlords should be protecting them from that outcome is a great way to set up a housing shortage. If they want to be part of a community then they should find a job that lets them rent in that community at the market rate.

> thanks in part to food safety regulations

You misunderstand; starvation from not being able to afford food. The point is that a vendor of a product can't unilaterally deny anyone access to market rates for that product because the competition will step in and undercut that vendor.
Even if the app encrypts everything client-side and does everything over Tor, just having the app installed on your phone (which both Google Play and the Apple App Store track) is sufficient to make you look suspicious from that point of view.

Really, what you'd need is a very popular app to add a feature like this so that the percentage of users of the app that are potentially undocumented immigrants is the same as their proportion of the population. Then you do all the other crypto and hopefully don't store whether individual users have the feature enabled.
Interestingly enough, Julian Assange (among others) conducted research into encrypted filesystems that relied upon deniable encryption [0]. Depending upon which key you fed it, it would reveal different files.

If you had a robust solution to time-locked encryption, that in itself would be worth a lot! (Anybody keeping up to tabs on that stuff know about whether or not its achievable / what the SOTA is?)

Well try reading some more.
There is definitely a trend among US progressives to use "undocumented" instead of "illegal," even as an adjective, to avoid the connotation of illegal people. I tend to follow that personally (even though in many cases it's not technically accurate—"undocumented" folks often have regular checkins with ICE if there's no deportation order yet, while proceedings are in progress, and that process certainly generates a lot of documentation, and there's also programs like DACA) but I won't fault someone for using the official terminology in good faith.

The issue of verifying citizenship is as old as the existence of citizenship in the first place.

While there’s no doubt these stories are magnified more than ever, I’m wondering if there’s any reason to believe this is actually an issue that is statistically becoming more common over the last 4-, 8-, 12- years, or if in fact, many of these practices are actually becoming less common but they are also becoming more widely discussed?

Two unaccompanied kids walk across the border near Tijuana carrying US passports, one with a picture from many years before which makes her hard to identify and are detained. The brother signs papers (under duress) “admitting” the sister is actually his cousin and not a citizen. The girl is held for 36 hours before being released.

A bad situation all around. Is it more common, or do we just hear about it now?

> The gist of which is, a job can be ‘not good’ from the perspective of the privileged but still ‘much better than the alternatives’ from the perspective of the people who take that job.

If you want to go deeper on this subject I highly recommend reading Factfulness.
To be fair, this is deportations, not deportations + detentions. Detentions seem to be at an all-time high and calculating the amount of deportations becomes trickier when it could possibly take years for a case to go through.

There's also the issue of this data coming from ICE itself (if it's the same dataset I think you're referring to), which is sort of like asking wolves to tell the farmer how many sheep they've ate over the last month. With how little accountability and data ICE. But that's the best data we have, unfortunately.

This is a biased source, but seems to have some decent overview of some of the statistics ICE has released [1]

Some boob at google's QC group overfit 3 data points, two of which were questionable, and called it a "law" named after himself. I look forward to people attempting to justify why this is still a "law" when there is still no quantum supremacy 10 years from now...
I'm sorry, when I said time-locked, I meant an app running in a server releases the key to you after a certain amount of time :)
Poor tenants are not renting new apartments. In general, you could say that new apartments are added to the overall stock so that's good for all renters. ITT however we're specifically talking about the kind of apartments that are rented by the poor being replaced on the same site by the kind of apartments that are rented by wealthier tenants. That is actually good for one group and bad for another group.

Widely anticipated wonderful new laws are usually chock-full of this kind of crap. Lobbyists don't try to step in front of oncoming political trains. They do successfully redirect those trains to their own purposes.

I took some courses on quantum computing in college, and my takeaway at the time was all modern approaches to quantum computing are slower (effectively, and worse in almost every case in terms of algorithmic complexity) than their classical counterparts. Are we any closer to getting a quantum implementation of Shor's algorithm? My understanding is that none of D-wave's systems for instance are anywhere close to implementing Shor, and I treat that as my "are we there yet" test. I really enjoyed the classes, but haven't kept up with advancements in the space in really any way.

Where are persons in the US with smartphones and service being sent to the border detention centers?

Also how are they concentration camps? The whole premise is that you are free not to enter them, by staying where you're welcome. Nobody's dragging central Americans out of Mexico to put them in the extremely expensive detention centers at the border.

They do make mistakes, like any LEO, but you can generally predict whether you'll be detained by whether you have committed an offense.
I also feel like "contact these 5 people in case I get detained" is a more general use case that could dilute the "target pool" more. Journalists, sex workers, hackers, etc.

Well I hoped to be on HN today for my high-effort blog post on generics and metaprogramming (http://thume.ca/2019/07/14/a-tour-of-metaprogramming-models-...) but at least I'm on HN for something :P

Edit: And at least right before I go to bed my post technically made it on the front page in the very last slot :)

I'm also glad people like my ray tracer, it was super satisfying to build, and nice to have a project that I know I put substantial effort into and can really be proud of.
Yeah, assuming by "lose" they mean the city gets pretty much entirely wiped out in a short timespan and never recovers. If it takes too long for the effects to fully set in or if the city recovers then I'd expect people will just carry on.

Canada is a country of contradictions found by two different very different groups of people. Canada is a compromise and only exists because of will and tolerance and compromise.

Everything makes logical sense with details. Native populations through treaties have the right to hunt. Canada wanting to manage populations sets limits. This creates a lotto system. Winners sell them to big game US hunters and the tribe gets the profit.

The asbesto mines are in the French part of Canada which makes shutting them down politically difficult.

Canada is a collectiom of different people who figured out how to get along.

A year ago I thought Conway's law was nonsense, but recent experience has led me to walk some of that back. I would replace "are constrained to" with "grow to", or perhaps just "often".

On my first day of my current job, Mufasa (my boss) took me up on Pride Rock at sunrise, and we cast our eyes over the system diagram of the back-end supporting our product. And he told me, "We work on this box here." Our team's box gets data from that team's box, and we output data to be consumed by this other team's box...

"Any what about that shadowy land?" I asked, pointing to the arrows coming from outside the diagram.

"That is the Front-end. You must never go there."

So yeah, Conway's law through and through. This is a big company, though, and a long-lived product. At my last job, at a startup that was ~3 years old, things were intentionally very different. This month you and a few others worked on feature X. Not on this system or that system, you were implementing something for the customer. Maybe you're a backend engineer, but you still wrote the database migration, the queries, the endpoints, the front-end logic, markup, CSS, whatever. Some of it you sucked at, but a lot of that was handled by good team composition. If another engineer on that feature knew CSS better, they mostly styled the things and you reviewed their work. Maybe you styled the next thing.

I was frustrated in that job, because I didn't like writing CSS, and I wasn't good at it, and I was very good at some other things. Why couldn't I just do those things I was good at? It would have kept me a lot more productive, and saved (and made) the company a lot of money! Why did I have to do things I was bad at? Did they think engineers were interchangeable?

Well, now I know. In my current job, working on five different features in my box in the system diagram, I'm super productive when pointed in the right direction with enough to work on and some autonomy. That just doesn't happen as often. We need to communicate between teams a lot more. We need to align our quarterly deliverables. We duplicate functionality on both sides of an interface, (or in each of N components), with subtly different semantics, because nobody technical is responsible for the feature. Show-stopping bugs before launch are a fact of life, because integration tests between our components suck.

Generously (though for other reasons too), we're 1/3 as productive as my last gig was. Conway's law is strangling us.
There's a chance it could make the US be more willing to go out of its way to help and/or push them change course...
Sounds great to me.
One example that is easy to explain is the runtime permission system.

IIRC this change was introduced in API 23 (marshmallow), now a while ago.

Before that Android version, permissions (such as accessing your contacts or your calendar, using the camera sensor, etc) where requested and given at installation time.

23 introduced runtime permission : now you don't get the permissions at install time but at runtime : while the app run it incrementally asks to access your contacts, camera, or whatever else it needs.

But there is an issue : how to handle all the existing apps ?

What happens is that apps declare which sdk version they are targetting when they are compiled. If that version is 23 or higher, they get the new behavior.

For apps targeting 22 or less though, the system fallbacks to the previous behavior.

This way apps don't suddenly break when you update your phone and apps already published on the play store don't have to handle this change right away.

Most apps, especially popular ones have been pretty quick to follow these new targets.

However, some apps (cough like snapchat cough) have seen a loophole there and have been keeping their target sdk very low so they don't have to follow new behaviors.

So a couple of years ago Google decided to address that : now if you want to publish a new app, you have to target an android version that is at most one year old. App updates have the same rule, although IIRC the period is a little bit longer.

So it is no longer possible to game a system that is only there to gracefully handle old apps.

I have mentioned runtime permission because it is one change that is easy to explain, but each Android version has several behavior/security changes like this one, so enforcing this rule is definitely for the best.
Literally where? Where are persons in the US with smartphones and service being sent to the border detention centers

Nowhere yet. That's what I'm questioning, whether this is legit or just a way to end up on a watch list.

Also they are concentration camps by any reasonable definition of the term: https://www.wordnik.com/words/concentration%20camp
LXC does have a container manager though, which is a single process that stays alive for the life of a single container. Within runc (the runtime Docker uses), we don't have a container manager but the downside is that now the upper level needs to keep alive the descriptors and other kernel objects that allow for safe container management by the runtime.

[I maintain runc, and collaborate with the LXC folks.]
That sharing makes me sad.

It's how Docker doesn't have a good reputation for security.
Out of curiosity, do you feel filtering like this actually prevents anything? I'm not questioning the filters but rather the graveness of the threat in the first place (except for the elderly etc.).
And while we are in the topic of podcasts, "The History of Rome" by Mike Duncan is amazing.
For reference, (with a Windows 10 system with 16GB of RAM) after several hours of light use, task manager reports that 2.7GB of RAM is used with 13GB available (other numbers report that 3.3/16.9GB are committed, and 2.8GB cached).
"The History of Rome" podcast is quite good as well.
Or, even better use nsenter to join all the namespaces of PID 1 on the host (making your process an ordinary root process in the init namespaces).
