We'll, I'd say v.1.99. There is ample law out there that could make gig workers full employees in certain circumstances. What the gig platforms did was not new, it was simply big enough, bold enough, and arguably legally reckless enough that law enforcement either lost the will or ability to enforce existing laws to force gig platforms to act like mature, adult, law-abiding enterprises. California isn't legislating in an absence of law, it's clarifying that no one really likes guttersnipe employment practices, never did, and the fact that they have become prevalent in large, well-funded enterprises is a public policy problem that needs to be solved.
Couldn't agree more.

And I very much hope they aren't contemplating rolling this out in Europe.

Having worked for a major European telco, I get the impression that the amount of regulation they face around data protection and privacy is tremendous and my experience has been that this stuff is by no means taken lightly either.

It would never in a million years occur to me to route my traffic in such a way as to circumvent the legal protections it enjoys as long as it stays within a European ISP's network and instead encrypt it and send it off to a nearly unregulated entity in a foreign country.
because most people don't know they can easily bypass the DNS based filters that is used to block "bad sites". DoH by default uses cloudflare's DNS, and so won't (need to) comply with the UK's filter laws.

Oh do we?
No one asks US to be drug martyr of the World. Economy is a living thing, just stop paying double or triple for drugs, and market will level itself across all customers in no time.
IF, you can stop that is: because IMO whole thing rather smells corruption, not martyrdom.
Good point. I meant there is no reason to dispute the article because it talks about CF monetizing that data. Because it doesn't.
And there are intermediaries between Cloudflare/other DoH providers and the respective authoritative nameservers anyway.
The point is that Cloudflare is a US company. From that perspective, where their servers are located is irrelevant.
> Those who live under free regimes should not deny those of us who live under oppressive governments the right to privacy of our communications

And those who live under oppresive governments should not be an excuse to force those who don't to have their traffic routed through a property of an oppressive government.

Yes, I know it's not about to be a default for non-US users yet. But "The UK people are getting screwed" is not a very good argument for "everyone should be getting screwed by the US".
Rust is not corporate controlled nor owned either.
Ah, yes, then our immortal god-king can enjoy the perpetual beauty of his vast private estates while the rest of us waste away on the land he destroyed in pursuit of economic aims?

But Cloudflare also happen to be the fastest DNS resolver.

I guess I have to sleep on this because at a quick glance I can't really make sense of how it answers my question.

I do find it ironic though that this is so difficult to explain that I apparently have to read a paper to understand it... I would've thought the blog post was trying to explain things in simple terms...
> How many people would like to do a startup but don't because they'd have no health insurance?

How many people would like to do a startup but don't because they have no food or shelter? We don't really care because the costs of those things are manageable.

The problem isn't that the government isn't paying for it. The problem is that it costs way too much.
It makes organic indexing impossible, there is no point making your own website like this. Its even insulting calling hardworked content spam.
Exactly. It's the same as with iPad and Mac. The name "pro" is just a throw-back to an earlier Apple, and it works because customers already understand the term. It doesn't matter if it is for real professionals or not.
The second factor for authentication is best handled by having it under the account holder's control. Either a client side TLS certificate or a Yubi key. The former is better in my opinion since it's compatible with application level protocols other than HTTP.
To be fair to nvidia, the 2014-2018 Android 5-7 support lifecycle for the shield tablet remains the best supported android device I've owned.

I wouldn't hold out for a successor though, Nvidia makes much of the internals of the Switch and I think another Nvidia branded tablet device would be too close to competition for Nintendo to allow.

In hindsight it would have been perhaps better, but I don't think it can be said that having essentially random values in memory is better than having a controlled error handling action being executed. Is there any reference that such a course of action is preferred or beneficial?

Based on using a 10.5" iPad Pro since 2017, I believe what this slide is saying is that all of these things are new to the volume priced iPad, which after all just got an upgrade to the 3 year old A10.

On my Pro, I've had most of the stuff on this slide from the beginning. Not sure about custom fonts as I've never looked into it, and I think native external storage support is new in the upcoming OS (though it was achievable with third-party apps since iOS 11).

But yeah, bottom line of this slide is that these formerly pro-only features are now in the $329 product.
No one wants a proliferation of different applications which all have different settings to access the network, especially when the OS provides centralised functionality to do so.

One goes fishing where the fish is. There are dozens of large and hundreds of medium to small ISPs in the US. There's only one Cloudflare. That's where the resources to get the data would be concentrated. It has been demonstrated with PRISM.

Disclaimer: I cheated by googling, but that's the point - I forgot about these events because they were no longer in the collective consciousness.

Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris - dunno what happened with this. Overshadowed by:
Paris terrorist attack on stadium and club - 130 people died
Charleston Church shooting - Replaced by more shootings that happened afterwards (in that year alone: Roseburg, Lafayette, Chattanooga, Planned Parenthood, San Bernardino). Thoughts, prayers, and calls for gun control even if neither of those fix the underlying issues.
European Refugee crisis - Agreements with Turkey and Libya have turned this 'crisis' around, but, more boats are arriving in Greece lately.

Just a few examples I blatantly copied off of a website. Nobody talks about these things anymore because Trump used a sharpie.
And? Those same people are likely using their ISP or Google for DNS right now. How is this worse?
Your general point is solid, but one quibble with the numbers - even the pricing page has an "enterprise" tier "for very large businesses".

There's no way a company with 5000 Slack users is paying the sticker price per head - they'll call Slack's enterprise sales team and negotiate some volume discount with whatever shiny enterprise-grade features, SLAs, support guarantees, etc. they need.

Could you elaborate on that?

Not the OP, but can share my perspective.

Say, I want to take my 7 yo daughter to the Natural History Museum in London. The process looks like this:

- walk to the train station

- take a train to London Bridge station

- walk to the tube station, take a train, then another one.

By the time we get there she doesn't want anything. She wants her hot chocolate in the cafe and get back home.

The same process in the US outside of big city:

- drive to the museum
<RANT>US expatriates are the only expats in the world that have to file annual taxes (and report foreign bank accounts). It's ridiculous for most of us (99% are not tax exiles or tax evaders, we just left the USA for our own reasons). </RANT>

I wonder if Snowden files taxes?
Really? I'm seeing it more and more.
The range is all over the place. Boomers range from 1960 to 1964 depending on the person doing the definition.

Chinese kWh, Chinese range figures. If you ever bought a 5000mAh 18650 battery from ebay/amazon you know whats going on.
I kinda always wondered how that worked. I wonder if people near the border call 911 and get Canadian dispatchers... Hopefully there is a protocol though for both sides of borders to transfer to the right agency in case of a emergency of some sorts.

I have a prepaid plan so no roaming for me... but some day I’ll get a actual plan but it’s nice to save money, but have to ration data but have WiFi most of the time. But sounds like if lived in a border town I might be stuck getting a better plan if it wants to roam even while still at home. If I went to more places instead of being home on WiFi mostly or traveled a bunch definitely upgrading. Kinda undecided on what carrier yet but much more choices than when I got my first phone in middle school and kept the same number since.
Just wondering, why leak the documents to a select few newspapers that can be silenced instead of the whole world, if the goal is to tell the truth to the people at large? I’d love to see these goons go after every single one of the tens of thousands of seeders in hundreds of different countries if the documents were leaked on a popular torrent website.

Facebook started with PHP - but quickly replaced the standard library, the interpreter, and then eventually the language itself (Hack still looks kind-of-like PHP, but is no longer compatible)

Thanks for the hint on replacing the heatsink on the x220. A quick search lead me to a reddit post claiming the heatsink from the x230 can be fitted to a x220. Is this what you did, or did you do something else entirely?
Who are the 50%? I get your point but I think you might be making some odd assumptions, markedly underestimating how much a person in regional China, India or Indonesia interacts with paperwork. (You might also be forgetting just how cheap printers and paper are.)

Do variation selectors solve this problem? i.e., is there some way for me to include a variation selector in a filename or terminal output or something and have things render right?
Does it matter who the employees are employed by? All rules for an employer apply just as well for the employing company as they would for Amazon if they employed them directly.
There is no universally accepted second factor.

* SMS (and automated voice call) are bad for people who live in areas with poor phone coverage, people with international phone numbers, and people who want good security.

* TOTP is bad for people who don't have smartphones.

* FIDO U2F is bad for people who don't have $20, safari/iOS users, and people whose devices don't have USB.

* Vendor-specific apps are bad for people who don't have smartphones, people with low spec or poorly supported smartphones, blind people, and the privacy-conscious.

* Smart card readers and physical tokens with screens cost $$$, often aren't accessible to blind people, and are too bulky for users to carry more than one or two.

* Paper single-use codes are bad for people who log in regularly, people who don't have printers, and don't scale to multiple services all that well.

* All of the above are bad for people who are forgetful or clumsy enough to regularly lose or break the second factor.

WITH THAT SAID, you can still provide Hacker-News-reader-approved two-factor authentication by basically copying Google: Offer the user TOTP, FIDO, SMS and paper codes, let them choose any two.

Gain bonus points with a setting that stops customer services resetting the password or disabling 2fa, and a week-long warning/waiting period in case account hijackers dial up the security settings to stop the original user getting their account back.

Why shouldn't it be the default? Switzerland has a population 8 million. Why should the default be geared towards a small minority when there are billions of people not just in the UK but in Asia and Africa who would benefit from this feature. If they OP thinks that their country's laws are strong enough to make the feature unnecessary then they can turn it off.
Even worse, corporate intranet addresses get leaked.

Everyone on this article saying it's FUD is either a framework junky, isn't seeing the bigger picture, or just focus on one wrong thing in the article.
…and DNS over HTTPS, using CloudFlare, is only being enabled in the US. A US-centric view for a US-only decision seems fair to me?
I guess that'd be decided in the courts. But Airbnb and Uber have to develop software in order to carry on their business, so I would come down on the other side of the argument.
Yeah I've seen numerous links to that pointed to from HN over time. The problem with all of those proposals is that to an ignorant archeologist from, say, a hundred years ago, any visible sign, warning or construction will only pique the curiosity. I mean Tutankhamun's tomb had plenty of warnings inscribed on it, but they were dismissed as silly curses and there's no such thing as curses. The same will happen with nuclear storage sites that are 'protected' like that.

Better to put it away very deep, where erosion and tectonic shifts won't expose it for a million years and just forget about it. I read something about putting it in deep boreholes the other day.

> People should never have to worry whether they can financially manage to go and see a doctor when they are in need of one. Doesn't care if you've broken your arm, am expecting a child or if you're chronically ill.

I live in Sweden. Sweden has socialised health care so in theory it should be possible to go and see a doctor when [I am] in need of one. That's right, in theory. In practice the waiting times can be so astronomical that many people - my partner included - are on private health care insurances to make sure they actually go and see a doctor when they need one instead of in 4 months time, if you're lucky. This does mean they pay twice for health care, once through provincial ('landsting') taxes, once through the private health care insurance. It is the latter which ends up paying the bill, the question is where the former money goes. When she needed to see a doctor a few months ago she first tried to go the normal route through the public health care system. The response was 'we can book you for this-and-that date in 6 months time'. Right. When she called the private insurance it only took a few days. These waiting times accumulate, e.g. the doctor wants the patient to get a CT scan - wait for 2 months. MRI, wait 3 months, etc. The private insurance has bought (time on the) machines so they can offer a time next week.

For acute problems the public health care system is still the go-to place even if waiting times in emergency rooms are now so long that some hospitals (e.g. Sunderby, between Luleå and Boden in Norrbotten) have called upon visitors to 'make sure to take food and any needed medications with them as the waiting time can exceed 24 hours'.

So where to go from here? Public health care is affordable but often not available. Private health care is available but often not affordable. How can these two goals - affordability and availability - be met in one system?

> DNS requests are routinely intercepted and monitored by ISPs in many countries, with the information available to the security services

Not true. ISPs typically record and store netflow-like data, very rarely DNS-data (I'd say storing DNS data is even unusual). If ISPs are in a position to get more detailed than netflow data on you they resort to things like deep packet inspection (DPI), which doesn't rely on DNS, pretty much all mobile/cellular ISPs do that today.

> DoH is vital to protect users around the world from censorship and worse.

Not true either. DoH can't do anything against censorship and if enabled by default in all browsers can actually give worldwide censorship powers to a single US entity that already has something akin "we will block anything we don't like and do anything our government wants" in their ToS.
As a note on the tool, it is woefully biased towards you being classed as inside IR35.

> That sounds complicated to me, in 2019 with 25 years of C++ experience.

std::cout << X;

is not a generic, but on the project I just tested, if I substitute X with a type that does not implement an appropriate operator<<, I get ~1000 suggestions in the overload set, many of which are generic operator<< that are templated on a `typename OStream`.

I personally find having to do overload resolution first on a 1000 function overload set containing generic and not generic functions, and then often having to actually instantiate a generic (doing template argument deduction, template instantiation, substitution-failure is not an error so the next overload might be picked, etc. etc. etc.) infinitely more complicated than "just" instantiating a generic.
If I had to guess, it's because the newspapers carry some credibility and have the ability to exercise editorial restraint, whereas the leakers are not journalists and so do not have such experience and credibility.
Maybe someone with deeper knowledge of the legal situation can correct me if I'm wrong here, but from what I gather: U.S. privacy laws, to the extent that the U.S. has any, affords protections only to U.S.-based persons. Data pertaining to foreign persons is basically "fair game" to them.
It's worse, because the local ISP is more trustworthy and additionally you enable cloudflare for large scale profiling. And don't claim they won't do it, it's just a matter of time
It's annoying. I've already experienced this with chrome as chrome ignores my hosts file settings.

Example: Say you use hosts file to block porn and other shady sites for your kid, all they have to do is use chrome.
DoH is vital to protect users around the world from censorship and worse.

Like I've asked before, should Mozilla also start including an obfuscating VPN by default, to bypass the Chinese firewall?

This is a political issue, and one that I don't think Mozilla should even get involved in because it could have very ugly consequences --- just focus on making a good browser and leave the politics (and VPN/firewall-busters) to others.
Ada is the one that was considered complicated. Making use of PutLine in the way I demonstrated was, at the time, considered complicated and confusing.

That it's as easy as printf demonstrates the changes in thinking to today fairly well.

I don’t think you understand what a p-value is. The p-value is a percentage output of testing whether a given normal distribution actually has a non-zero mean. It is phrased in terms of the null hypothesis. So a P < 0.05 means that there is less than a 5% chance that the null hypothesis is true. Conversely, this means that there is a 95% chance that what you’re testing is true.

The ISP I run is applying [1] such blocks on our DNS recursors (blocking illegal online gambling domains, as per legal requirements [2]).

I still trust my DNS servers (or those of most ISPs, for that matter) more than I trust Cloudflare. I'd rather have intelligence services go through the effort of infiltrating every single ISP separately to get any useful dragnet intelligence, instead of just one large entity that can illegally collect all traffic from all users of a web browser.
