ISPs charge for peering, they don't pay for it, they get paid for it.

On occasion, if you are an important enough customer, they'll give you peering for free - https://www.xfinity.com/peering . But they'd rather sell you Paid Peering (for obvious reasons)

Generally speaking ISPs don't pay anything for peering. (Unless they are smaller/local ISPs/WISPs or similar, who have to purchase backhaul or upstream to be able to offer service.)

I'm glad you had a good experience. When I was younger I was producing psytrance (I played the guitar) and I would do liveacts with a dj + my guitar. I had some pretty cool gigs and nice songs too.

Unfortunately, what made me quit the scene was the transformation I saw on my friends and acquaintances due to drug abuse. I don't know if it is a cultural thing, but I have witnessed people losing some or all of their mental sanity due to drug abuse; one time I was at a party when someone died - in the end I called it quits because I didn't want to become involved with that in any way.

I still like the music though
Barr seems intelligent despite all the news and politics we have going on right now. I agree with Schneier’s assessment about have a policy discussion.

Let’s pretend the Big Tech companies build something robust and unbreakable (impossible) for the US govt. Now the EU and former English colonies want the same.

Now Syria wants the same access and full history of anyone in Syria. China would like the same for Hong Kong.

It’s slippery slope that goes down hill very fast. The line between criminal investigations and persecution are blurred.

Blight-busting demolitions reduced gun injuries, deaths in Detroit neighborhoods
Yes. Everyone still needs to go to work at the same time so the resources are still going to be used at the same time. It's charging extra for standard expected usage that the ISPs have known exists for years. If this were really an issue there wouldn't be so much dark fiber in the US hooked into copper cable local loops.

What Happens to Startups in the Next Recession? (2018)
One would think that if you have that much invested in engineering business operations that, ya know, your business operations would be profitable. This is the gamble and is based on a volume play, since technology that enables business operations can have tailwind effects.

Yeah, the idea that a 4chan user would either be a first responder or be listening in on first responder channels isn't particularly surprising. I don't know what implication people are reading into this.
My mistake, it just sounded confrontational.

But yes, space is way more enormous than most people (including myself) can wrap their head around. Spacetime warping is also hard to really get, I understand it conceptually but I can't really picture it.

Things moving less than about 15% of the speed of light experience less than 1% time dilation, and for comparison, we're moving around the center of the galaxy at 0.2% of the speed of light.

One of the wildest things to me is that GPS satellites have to compensate for time moving slightly slower because they're moving so fast around the earth, and also time moving slightly faster because they're further from the gravity of earth.
Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough.

I wasn't arguing FOR hashing the password before sending it. My point was this: even if we think it's reasonable to require that a password be hashed before being sent over HTTPS, the corollary is that all web apps must use JS, and can't be server-side-code-only. And this corollary doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to require.

Your point that 'Hashing the password in the client isn't very effective because the hash of the password now is equivalent to a password.' is true if there's no salt, and if the password is never re-used across sites.

If the password is salted before being hashed and sent by the client, then having read-access to the plain text of the exchange only gives the attacker the ability to log in to that one site. Even if the same username/password combo is in use on other sites, the attacker can't use the password on those sites, because she can't hash the unknown password with an arbitrary salt.

Anyway, I'm definitely not an expert on this topic, so take what I wrote above with a pinch of salt (ha!).

My only reason to comment was that I was thinking through 'never send passwords' from first principles, and it struck me that, if everyone were to accept this to be true, they would also never willingly/knowingly log in to any site that works without JS.
Probably not. Normal people have little impact on the bond market, most of them accept market rates through some intermediary such as a bank or broker.

It's the professional investors & monetary policy makers who really matter here, as they are the ones performing economic analysis on what rates should be.
>Thanks, but I didn't need convincing that the Telegraphs article was bullshit. I already knew that and acknowledged them as a "garbage publication" in my first post.

The issue is, that you are showing more discernment than other media, such as the BBC, which have gone on to repeat the claim by the Telegraph, without pointing out that is bullshit. And so lies quickly become 'common knowledge' by a large swathe of the population, especially if they are not called out.

And if you go back through, you can see that I posted the article in response to the lie being presented as common knowledge. I wasn't trying to convince you that the Telegraph's article was bullshit. I was pointing it out to someone else, who had already erred in taking the rag at face value.

You may dislike the source I used to do this, or other things they write, but surely you support the calling out of a lie, especially one that has already made the way into general discourse as an accepted fact?

Doesn't seem like much of a straw man to me. Investigating whether browser security UX helps people understand what they're connecting to logically includes looking at designs other than the current one.

> then perhaps that's where the CAs should start their research.

Yes. And browsers too.
When I was in financial trading, I think that's what we called a "Texas hedge".

(A hedge being where you take some of your money and buy protection against downside risk. For example, since I'm in tech, it's in my interest to sell some of my company stock and buy something that is uncorrelated with tech. That way if my company blows up, I won't be totally broke. The Texas hedge is doing the opposite, so that you're even more screwed if the bet doesn't go your way.)

This could indicate confidence, but it could also indicate a double-or-nothing mentality. You can only be so bankrupt, after all.

From my experience in Switzerland a lot of times holds true for me(in city however I can achieve a lot more then Mbit/s)
But for sure it depends on location, but for now in the remote areas I have been there it worked like a charm.
But recently in a relatively big city in US, i was at measly 5 Mbit/s.
However I am sure there are as always areas with low or maybe even nonexistent coverage in any case in any country. But the percentage of that can cover widely practically speaking.
I was asking because I have been thinking if there are any convincing arguments or incentives for avoiding such tactics, besides moral and integrity. I'm afraid that if's all depend on moral and integrity it is unlikely we are going to win this battle.
"• Google earns more ad revenue as users stick around on Google longer"

This one is actually reverse. Google search doesn't net google any money if people don't actually click the link, since ad revenue for google search is Per Click, not per view (per mille).

The incentives for them are actually reversed - increasing the amount of clicks into external websites, specifically advertised links, increases their revenue. (which is why there are so many advertised links on a search page)
Not knowing exactly how much you want explained; but...

The yield curve is inverting because buyers with serious money are buying medium-term cash instruments in defiance of naive valuation logic that the short-term cash instruments are more competitively priced.

This suggests that they see something in the near future, big enough that they are throwing the easily calculated "Net Present Value with usual assumptions" out the window when they make their purchasing decisions. Since bond buying and selling is usually done on a pure NPV basis this is a big deal and a good signal that it is time to avoid anything that might be risky until we find out what the big thing is.

Hence, buy government bonds as the single most conservative option. NPV might be partially irrelevant.

That's exactly what Tumblr's ex-users don't want, however.

Those Tumblr users want a place to freely exchange what they like, whether that's cute cats or hardcore porn.

That's what made Tumblr so beautiful. I'm sad to see it (apparently permanently) go.

Then again something nice is coming out of it as well: The main competitor is now the non commercial, federated, ActivityPub based Fediverse, frequently referred to as Mastodon.
He'd be considered top income decile if he is in the top income decile by this study, indeed. The article linked about the study does refer to Oberschicht, but explains that it here refers to the top income decile in the very first paragraph.

I wish this discussion could move on from this unfortunate, but minor semantic point to the substance, namely that 5160 EUR/month of net income for a couple take you into the top decile in Germany.
Something can both be a historical pattern and popularized as something we pay attention to. There are also historical patterns that many people don't talk about frequently or pay attention to.

Aside from that, I'm not sure how you're so confident that there is no observer effect. Markets, particularly in the short term, are influenced by human perception and emotion. It is plausible to me that, in particular, the stock market could dip because everyone observes the yield curve inversion, gets nervous about a coming recession, and then moves money out of the market in fear of it. This could happen even if a recession does not, and I don't find it impossible that such a move could help contribute to an actual recession. Again, human perception is an enormous component of markets, and perception is influenced by emotion.

Moving the goalposts isn't helpful; let's skip to the end. I'm no believer in American Exceptionalism. I've read A People's History, I'm pretty familiar with the crisis of mass incarceration and the general failure of our criminal justice system, I'm well-informed about widespread domestic surveillance and espionage programs, and I'm deeply cynical about US foreign policy as a whole.

But even someone like me has to admit that the US is closer to a free state than China. Here's why I think that:

- Our court system is constantly in the throes of "freedom" vs. "tyranny" (lots of judges disagree with Citizens United, for example.

- We have a free press that is constantly critical of our president and government.

- I can be critical of our president and government with absolutely no repercussions from my government.

- We give billions in foreign aid.

- We still accept tons of asylum and immigration applications
- In fact many of our cities are "sanctuary cities" for immigrants

- We celebrate the history of Americans who have fought for fundamental freedoms and civil rights

- We are the most diverse nation on the planet, and many of us are intensely proud of it.

- We have free elections.

- Don't @ me about election problems; they're still nothing like the fraudulent elections in Russia/China/etc.

- We have healthy opposition parties.

- We actually believe the US is a work in progress, not "perfect as it is" (see: "a more perfect union").

Sure there's a lot of work to do. And I'm sympathetic to the fact that China and Russia face different challenges than we do. But I absolutely refuse to accept the assertion that the US is anywhere near the same point on the authoritarian spectrum as they are. Such comparisons are facile, ignorant, and reinforce a nihilistic vision of Western, classically liberal values that is at the root of the rise of nationalism and authoritarianism -- which is itself responsible for the destruction of many millions of lives across the world. These things are not the same, any more than Democrats and Republicans are the same. One is clearly better than the other, and it is literally a matter of life and death that we figure that out.
I just went and fact-checked myself via Google Trends.

It does seem like the term had similar amount of web search traffic in late-2005 across all categories, compared to now. I didn't expect that at all. However, "News Search" only goes back to January 2008, so it's difficult to tell if 2005 also had similar news coverage. But the graph since 2008 definitely shows a massive increase:

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all_2008&geo=U...

So I think I might be mostly wrong. (Of course, this wouldn't mean there's no observer effect... just that it would be at least partially baked-into our current understanding of how it works.)

Edit: Hm. This seems to change a lot depending on the specific term used. "Yield curve inversion" makes it sound like people only started searching for this term in the last few years, and not really back in 2005. But changing it to "Yield curve inverted" shows the 2005 spike again.

So now I'm just discounting Google Trends as a source, either way.
My brother has an Amazon store. He pulled in about $400,000 in sales last year and saw a profit of close to $200,000 doing exactly what you stated (buying wholesale, boxing it up and sending it to Amazon). Huge margins, I know. However he doesn't work a few hours a day, its more like 9 hours a day driving around to different auctions to buy wholesale. Its a lot of work.
4chan is basically a million monkeys on typewriters, so it's unsurprising they've managed to predict the death of Epstein. Let's not forget that every man and his dog on reddit and elsewhere immediately predicted this guy would get suicided. It was as predictable as the tide going in and out.
But us not cooking is a luxury. That was his point. All of us can choose to cook. Its odd that in the usa cooking seems relegated to the rich and the poor, with much of the middle class ending up overfed and malnurshed by prepackaged food.

Can I ask if you have lived or worked overseas (outside of core EU/US countries)

US has issues in its for profit colleges and universities among others as well so it's not accurate that all US institutions are strong. I would have reacted the same way if I recognized a the article as being from a predatory journal (https://beallslist.weebly.com/)

Note, I'm looking at the website as a whole, and the claims it is making. This includes endorsements by the BBC, endorsements by medical doctors, and "scientifically proven" "superfoods" that "dramatically decrease LDL-C, triglycerides, and total cholesterol while raising HDL-C"

In each case I looked into the support was not great. In other words, this issue is about the supposedly unfair treatment of the site relative to other sources of medical and health knowledge. And my point here is that of the quick indicators I looked at, none looked that good.

Can you not be bothered to look at the other points I made when evaluating the sites quality?

Apple's new card comes with forced arbitration
The really interesting dynamic would be if a seller doesn't participate in this program, but its competitor for a similar, essentially non-differentiated product does (or more than one competitor) and Amazon optimizes pricing according to what the non SBA-seller is charging. As sales of the SBA product picks up, network effects kick in for search, detail page carousels, and recommendations to customers with similar profiles to the buyers. The non-SBA seller is forced to manually reduce prices, or lose a huge chunk of market share.

The key here would be product differentiation, reviews, external marketing, or something else to keep sales up. But for sellers competing on price, SBA could be a disaster, regardless of participation.
who cares? Why is this at all surprising or interesting?
This would be a great argument if we didn't have literally all of Europe, Japan, Australia, etc. to conclusively debunk it.

Ask HN: Can anyone recommend good alternatives to Google Trips
As of last week Google Trips has been discontinued.

Link: https://support.google.com/travel/answer/9337634?hl=en

I used Google Trips to efficiently find important travel information such as flights, accomodation, things to do etc. The advantage of Google Trips was how it displayed information from multiple sources in an easy to use way.

I know that there is TripIt (which I used before Google Trips) but it doesn't come close in terms of ease of use and manual editing.

Google's suggested alternatives (Search and Maps) just don't seem like natural choices for me. I would prefer a standalone app where I can find flight information without the noise of search results or maps.

There's one fundamental difference: there's no risk of exceeding that implied "data cap" derived from the speed cap.
The production cost of peak solar is probably a tenth of the cost for a gas peaker. You'd really have thought in a rational market there would be enough value there for people either getting a distinct thermal storage option or good enough insulation to make precooling work.

Pipelines, even with their faults, are cleaner and safer than trucking.
Texas may be somewhat isolated from neighboring grids but it does have some ability to do some solar collection time shifting since the sun take over 50 minutes to traverse the entire state. Texas spans almost the entire central time zone; El Paso is in the Mountain time zone.

Nevertheless, Texas seems to be an ideal location for both wind and solar energy (and ironically, oil and gas too).
There's definitely an opinion in Texas that ERCOT is more reliable than the other two US grid managers, so it's popular to remain independent for that reason as well (besides the political reasons). Both the Eastern [1] and Western [2] Interconnections have had major grid-management incidents that took down large portions of the grid in cascading failures, and some analysts think further incidents are likely [3], while the Texas grid has never gone down.

There is some support for expanding the capacity of the asynchronous DC interconnects, though, which would let Texas import & export more electricity to the other two grids without tying itself to them directly. It already does a modest amount of that, but the current DC links don't have very high capacity.
