"Checking that it is signed by a proper CA" isn't relevant, the certificate presented is the real one, like I said they're public documents, there's no reason to use fakes.

But the middlebox can, indeed, verify that when it connects to this same (IP, port) pair that endpoint is able to prove it's the real thing. I have never seen one that does this, and it won't prove anything about other connections, since our "rogue" TLS server can proxy everything to the real whitelisted server and that will pass, but yes you could do that.

You can invent arbitrarily sophisticated schemes and counter-schemes in this space. The 32 bytes of ClientHello random in particular mean you can never tell whether the client is signalling to the server or not if you even sometimes choose not to interpose.
I'd be interested in seeing a source for that less than 3% number.

However most cattle are certainly finished on grain without a doubt. Grain that could possibly put to better uses (or not grown and save the fuel and water).
This does give me some hope that future generations will start to see video-interrupting ads (like traditional commercial breaks) as absurd, unusual, disruptive, and annoying.
One example of the use case, which the article hits on, is open source. Most open source projects are relying on free CI resources, tying them up doing linting is a waste and can be rather annoying when you're doing important core work but find there is a deep queue of CI jobs full of stuff that is likely to fail linting or other basic checks.
Yes, they did that and sales went down because competitors did not stop advertising. I doubt that if all advertising stops tomorrow that globas usage would stop. Who would suffer would be companies that rlie on hype instead of quality.

Advertisement is a zero sum game.
The dry ice itself would be stored in well-insulated containers, and cold generated from these containers would be useful for refrigeration with the CO2 that does sublimate out as the containers heat up being feed-stock to enrich greenhouses, with the rest would being recycled into the pyrolysis exhaust, and thus back into the dry ice production.

One of the things I'm curious about is the efficiency of the dry ice production at various CO2 levels and the physical quantities of material that would be expected from such these kinds of processes.

The general idea is that you would be creating a system for accumulating/concentrating carbon as CO2 solid/gas, as well as in biomass, and at the same time creating two large energy differentials that could also be put to work. The major input to this system (assuming the numbers can work) would be photosynthetics and photovoltaics.
Yes, it was a turkey-based roasted carrot. It was a bit of a cheat, though, because they used actual powdered carrot as one of the ingredients.
The bubble theory on ads is interesting.

Around 2009 I saw it as "unprofitable venture backed companies advertising on unprofitable venture backed platforms" as if it's some kind of matryoshka doll system that works as a baton passing from one generation of bad investments to the next - no revenue is trading hands, just poorly placed investor money:

A kafkaesque anarchy of people siloed at companies named after adjectives spelled without vowels passing pixels for sale among each other hoping that some unicorn will fall out of their back pocket.
If the std lib had functions that mapped to the "Slice Tricks"[0], like virtually every other language, I'd use them constantly. Sure I wouldn't write generic functions all that much, but calling generic code I would do every day and it would be a serious ergonomic, correctness, and readability improvement to have named functions for very common patterns like the slice tricks.

Without ads we wouldn't have a way to incentive free content creation. Simple as that.
Even if self driving vehicles are a reality in the next 20 years there's two inescapable realities we need to contend with: mass transportation will always be more ecologically sustainable than a fleet of self driving cars clogging the streets, and that most people don't want to be driving for an hour to go anywhere, even if a computer does the driving. Density will always be a good thing.
So we split Google, Facebook, etc into two parts - content with no ads, and the "yellow pages" that are ads only, for when you want to go find product info.

2nd option... add a useful/not useful flag to every search result, so users can flag blogspam, content farms, etc and help keep the results useful.
That's a Naturalistic Fallacy. You can justify just about any behavior (theft, murder, rape) by the same reasoning that other animals do it.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but I would have thought go already implements typeclasses and this proposals extension to the interface semantics is a parametric typeclass?

The wikipedia page literally lists them as a sponsor of a team:

"From 2006 until 2018, Oettinger was the official sponsor of Rockets, a professional basketball club based in Gotha. The Rockets played as "Oettinger Rockets" in Germany's first distribution, the Basketball Bundesliga.[5]"
I used to just ignore them. Now I click the shit out of the ones with pretty women modelling skimpy clothing. More and more, those types of ads dominate my targeted ad stream and it's beautiful.

> The simple fact is that it's WAY WAY worse to hire a bad fit than it is to let TEN great devs walk away.

This simple statement sums up so much of what is broken about tech hiring. Everyone prides themselves on how they take smart risks and how entrepreneurial they are, and how they “fail fast” and “explore.” Yet when it comes to hiring, all of a sudden it’s “OMG we have to be super conservative! We can’t fire people and one bad hire could ruin us! We must reject 99% of candidates because Risk.” What happened to being bold and risk-taking?

>> I legit don't understand how this trend keeps going even though vegetarian burgers made with vegetables are delicious and way healthier and there are alternative cuisines like Indian or Mediterranean that gives you loads of options that aren't basically CANOLA OIL.

Upvote for that last bit. I haven't tried a synthetic burger yet so I don't know about your comments on taste etc, but it has to be said that there is a very, very long way you can go to feed yourself on plants before you have to eat a fake burger.
Plastic.
>> But are these plant burgers actually claiming or marketing themselves as healthy?

> Yes.

That's not how I read that at all, look at your own quote again.

> "Imagine your favorite meaty dishes[...]while being better for you [...]"[1]"

Evaluate the context -- they're not claiming that a Beyond Burger is better for you than unprocessed vegetables. They're saying it's better for you than the other places you get "your favorite meaty dishes like burgers and tacos".

Healthy > Unhealthy:
Unprocessed vegetables > Processed vegetable burgers > Processed animal burgers

They are not marketing themselves as "healthy" (what does that even mean?) -- they're marketing them self as better than animal.
All that demonstrates is that mammals can recognize each other’s suffering. It’s entirely possible that when a plant is killed, there is also suffering, but it’s so foreign to us we can’t recognize it.
I live in a small town in southeast Alaska, and we are exposed to much less advertising than people in more densely populated parts of the US. We have no billboards, we don't have any large box stores, and we don't have cable TV in our house. When we travel, my 8yo is fascinated by all the advertising around us. He finds a lot of it funny because he hasn't been overexposed to all the standard tricks that advertisers pull.

But, he is already deeply frustrated by the intrusiveness of online ads. He is old enough and informed enough to be aware that he's being manipulated, but not old enough yet to consistently spot the manipulation that online advertisers use on his own.

A little advertising is a good thing. Inundation is not a good thing, and we are far past the inundation stage.
Empirically, it turns out the answer is yes.
Chiming in as a fervent Go dev that's also a huge fan of generics: Generics are awesome, but always seem to add a ton of complexity. Everyone starts with just "oh, `func Reverse(slice []T)` is so obvious" kind of thing, but that's like saying `fmt.Println("Hello World")` is simple. It's simple cause you are doing a simple thing.

That said, I do want generics to come to Go, just... with an emphasis on what Go is, not just "here, let's replicate X's generics in Go". I am interested in the contracts implementation.
I agree.

In general, circular plots are made by "designers" to have data look cool but they're not what someone actually trying to use the data would choose. I will actively caveat that for things like antenna radiation patterns, they are the natural choice.

But for data that has no relation to circles, it merely confuses the reading of the plot. It is very difficult to make a numeric judgement of a data point where both the radius and angle are changing.

Quoting Tufte probably, they lead to confusion between the areal depiction and the linear relationship of the numbers.

Pie charts, spider diagrams, fitness / health monitor circles, energy usage in your utility bill shown as circles, these plots, etc., they're mostly a graphical gimmick.

Those require processing, and often times the supplement industry isn't exactly that clean. (I'm looking at you cheap fish oil sups)

Also you should consider the efficency of what the equillence of plans would take. (More plants requires more land+water, which requires more infrastructure, more transportation, etc). Also, don't forget about soil quality and erosion. You can't just grow infinitely on the same land. Let's not forget yield loss due to pests and diease.

Cows are huge and they feed a lot of people with very little waste. (Assuming you don't throw out the organs and bones)

Overall, I would be interested in a thorough look at both sides per person. Most of the articles I've seen from vegetarians and vegans have been completely ignoring the logistics involved and overall impact.
Is there a net tax on time? It's unambiguous that I can get from where I live to where I work at least 40 and often 70 minutes faster in my car than I can on public transportation. (Cambridge, MA to Waltham, MA.) My commute would take me longer if I changed jobs to work in Kendall Sq in Cambridge and took the T across town. (DW worked in Kendall; her T commute was 1/3 the distance of mine and took 1.5-2x the time.)

I'll grant you the space and energy inefficiency of private cars, but the time factor seems wildly in favor of point-to-point random route transport.

"Go's runtime by default assumes the presence of an operating system."

It also assumes the existence of several megabytes of runtime and enough RAM to feasibly use GC, which if nothing else is probably a real mess when it comes to drivers.

What you probably need, rather than being a second-class citizen of the main Go language indefinitely, is a separate dialect that is close to Go, but can go its own way if it makes sense, like: https://tinygo.org/

I'm a little surprised the word 'mixin' appears nowhere in that article.

Josh Bloch argued against the interface solution in Java (and in particular, read-only versus read-write interfaces), claiming there would be too many interfaces and it would confuse users, and that didn't sit right with me. To me it's his second-biggest sin against Java, and it's tied to the first.

The only truly unforgiveable one is UnsupportedOperationException. The guy who wrote the collections API for Java didn't know the first thing about the Liskov Substitution Principle, and gave the world an implementation that violates it because the alternative would have been too difficult for people to understand? Rot in hell forever, Josh. And take your Effective Java with you to throw on the pyre. I can't write effective Java and it's partly your fault.

At the time I was experimenting with my own language API design, so I sat down and figured out how many interfaces it would take. I came up with around 20% more than the selected design. You'd think it would be bigger, but the critical observation is that a lot of generic collections vary only on write operations.

Read operations are often identical, and if the surface area for reads is small, then a functional programming style is more reasonable. Which may explain why so many functional programming languages appear to other people to have an anemic collections API. What I'd love to know is if any of them use different implementations under the hood for small sets/lists versus large ones. If they do, I don't hear anybody bragging about it.
The articles I linked expand on this and there are many resources to research this.

I think you misunderstood my comment. The parent was saying:

>Imagine that in the real world. I honestly expect it to become commonplace - by entering our store, you agree to the terms posted in the binder you may ask to view.

My point to this was that it isn't that much of a far-fetched scenario, as it already happens with "no guns on store premises" signs in my state. You consent to the arbitrary rule by entering the store. I bet it is already backed up by state law (not sure 100%, but I believe so), just like it is in Texas (I am in WA), so I agree with you.
haha it's funny but it's a bit more subtle than that, I've become an asian in so many ways that I can now see my people more clearly
An app is better than no app at all. Your "can we do better" scenario means that most of the electron apps we currently have would not exist, especially on an os like Linux. Memory is cheap. CPU is cheap. Disk space is beyond cheap. Developer time and motivation are extremely expensive. Let's see, which one should we optimize for? Yes, for cad, 3d, and games this probably isn't the right tool. But those apps are rare. For most apps, it seems to be. Are you going to pay thousands of dollars for your text editor like people to for cad? Or even $60 for it but buy millions of licenses like videogames sell? No, you're not. You likely expect these tools to be free but insist on criticising the underlying tech. Why not fork these apps yourself and rewrite them natively? Sure is better than the developer deciding not to make the app because cross platform development is too expensive or they don't have the time to learn swift, objective c, c#, and c++ to create "proper" cross platform apps. This argument is frankly tiring and beat to death. If you don't like the apps, don't use them. No one is holding a gun to your head.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays

> Edward Louis Bernays ... was an Austrian-American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his obituary as "the father of public relations".

> Of his many books, Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923) and Propaganda (1928) gained special attention as early efforts to define and theorize the field of public relations. Citing works of writers such as Gustave Le Bon, Wilfred Trotter, Walter Lippmann, and his own double uncle Sigmund Freud, he described the masses as irrational and subject to herd instinct—and outlined how skilled practitioners could use crowd psychology and psychoanalysis to control them in desirable ways.
> not all beef is consumed as hamburgers

I know most of mine is. Not necessarily in the classic sandwich form, but there's spaghetti sauce, moussaka, shepherd's pie, chili, pizza, and throwing it into a big bucket with other foods and spices and mixing it up and eating it with a spoon. Tastes good,man.
The author seems a bit more nuanced. Seems reasonable to point out that "walls were the reason for the downfall of society" != "beginning of the downfall of their society".
I eat beef all day every day. It's good for you.
The main thesis of the article:

Real world advertising is not about informing, it's about convincing. Over time, it became increasingly manipulative and dishonest. It also became more effective. In the process, it grew to consume a significant amount of resources of every company on the planet.

There's a huge difference between informational advertising, which I support, and manipulative advertising, which is reprehensible. Telling people that their custom CRUD app could be ready quicker, cheaper to support, and contain fewer bugs if they used your product is great. Bombarding people who already know about your product and its half dozen competitors with subconscious messages that your competitors are evil and that if they use your product their sex appeal will increase is dishonest and stupid.

I work at an organization that does almost no marketing; we mostly spread by word of mouth. We have no shortage of customers or work, and growth would be harmful to the quality of our product, so we're pretty content with our place in the market.
I’ve got a beef with this article.

I can probably only consider the end of the beef industry getting near when:

a. There are more people I see opting for the plant based food, instead of beef;

b. When there’s really a shortage of cattle that produces or slaughtered as beef.

There’s a moral aspect of eating plant based foods, but I cannot see anyone transitioning easily from animal based meat products to select plant-based foods as their main source of sustenance. It will take a lot of discipline, willpower and of course, the availability (and affordability) of plant based food products for someone considering the shift.
Then just fix this and you don't have to spend millions digging up a bunch of land and building train lines/stations. Market the buses better, make them nicer, enforce rules better on them, get things like charging outlets in them.

A really obvious alternative to this at a similar cost would be a used Nissan Leaf.

Used non-Tesla EVs depreciate like crazy at extremely low miles. The Chevy Volt is another excellent used value (is this available in Europe?) and you still have a gasoline engine to bail you out on long trips.

You're also going to get way better serviceability with a stock OEM solution.

Not my exact area of expertise, but my two cents would be that the model space is sufficiently vast and underconstrained that there are likely an infinitude of equally allowable models that could also explain these features without an LHB. Since the Nice model was specifically developed to explain the LHB [1], using it as evidence for the LHB seems a bit circular.

You're probably not aware of the fact that San Diego is in the process of building a tram system that is very promising.

I wouldn't say they don't count but buses tend to be much slower than driving while trains with dedicated tracks can quite easily be faster than driving if traffic is bad or its hard to find parking at the destination.

Now, high quality bus services with dedicated lanes can be pretty decent but most bus services aren't like that.
Found the ad tech guy.

We do not have to accept the current state of advertising because it may or may not have had good effects in the past (practically by accident). Wanting things to change for the better is the opposite of dogma, and I daresay most advertising is much more childish and immature than this blog post. It is not hypocritical to hate ads and be subjected to them/benefit from them as they are so pervasive as to be unavoidable; they can also still have a net harm even if you think that orgs "depend" on them for income, which is dubious.

And just for the record, I work for a nonprofit who advertises minimally, and definitely not to the public.

What sort of horrible experiences have you actually had with ORMs? Every time I've used one it's been an absolute joy, I hate repeating myself in my DB, in SQL, in mapping code and again in application code. The main thing I see people complaining about is performance edgecases, but for small and mid scale applications these can never take away the massive DRY principle gain good ORMs provide.
There's good advertising and bad advertising. Calling all advertising "cancer" is ludicrous.

My YouTube subscription feed is full of stuff that is some form of advertising - music instrument retailers demonstrating new products, advertorial content from tool manufacturers, tutorials from software companies and so on. It's all paid for out of the marketing budget, it's all intended to sell more product, but it's also a useful service to me as a consumer.

Back in the day, I bought computer and music magazines in large part because of the advertising. It's how I kept up to date with the industry, it's how I learned about new products that weren't necessarily available in my town and it's how I found out the market price for products.

How do consumers find out about new products without some form of advertising? How do manufacturers find a market without some form of advertising?
