Ah, that is an interesting point. I think I see what you mean.

In my mind, L2 addresses are not for routing across organizations, and L3 addresses are. So the L2 address identifies an interface, and a L3 address identifies a routable entity. The weird thing is that there is an almost one-to-one mapping between these.

It might make sense for the same host on e.g. a WiFi and Ethernet interface off the same organization to have the same L3 address. After all, the organization responsible for routing to that host can know those interfaces belong to the same host.

However, once you get into multiple interfaces at disparate organizations things change. Take for example, a phone with LTE from some provider and WiFi from some how ISP. There are two separate organizations who are responsible for routing to those interfaces. Hence, the decisions needed to route to those interfaces differ. This makes routing based on the same address a lot harder.

I think my argument boils down to "topology follows addressing" being highly beneficial in our federated world of routing on the internet. It allows every autonomous network to handle internal routing however they want.
> I never thought of this but it would be surprising if the USPS _didn't_ maintain some sort of chain of custody of mail items, at least at the bag level or whatever unit they use.

Probably so. And in civil contract law we almost presume the USPS works more or less like a black box and always functions correctly. I mean, more specifically here, you might not have to question the USPS but might have to question the lab techs, or some company representative, and open up debates about what safeguards they use to prevent samples from getting mixed up. Lots of openings you could avoid by just testing on site, so that will always be easier. You generally just do whatever you can to remove extraneous witnesses to simplify your argument.

The subtle trick with US criminal law is that it is still a "testimonial" system. You have to have someone vouch for every piece of evidence. If you take photos of the crime scene you technically have to ask someone questions like, "do these represent the scene of the crime?" ("How would you even know? What makes you an expert on what this place looks like?") Some of this stuff can get waived but in contentious cases you dot your is and cross your ts.

Physical evidence is a bit like a hacked on extension of an old oral only court system. You originally just asked a bunch of villagers what happened and hoped they were sufficiently scared of swearing oaths to not lie.
This is pretty accurate. Rent seeking in Canada is at an extreme, monopolies are maintained through excessive government regulation, cartels in real estate as well as many industries are definitely a thing and almost the whole country is under-employed.

Don't have a ton of time ATM but we're in dire need of deregulating a lot of industries and breaking up cartels.

The reason nothing has been done is because the majority are uninformed or just don't care. I'd argue we still get the better end of the deal with free as in beer content.

> Moreover, it is more efficient for businesses to have one consistent set of rules to follow, rather than a patchwork of 28 contradictory rules, and it is harder for large corporations to pressure countries if those countries are acting together as a bloc.

What do you personally think is better? A huge institution with power to regulate the markets of 28 nations, or 28 independent nations?

It's not about money. I think it's too much power concentrated into a single body. Would you prefer a business-first approach for anything else?

Someone else in this equation didn't get to think their life choices, maybe for no fault of their own, because they're dead.

So, how long should you be in for a murder? 30 years? 20? 10? 5? If punishment really got nothing to do with it at all, and the perpetrator is really, really ashamed from just the trial and conviction, why not let them go after that?
The fact that you don't go about killing seems to be a pretty good indicator that society has benefited you in at least one substantial manner.
For older phones it would, though there were maybe other exploits available as well? From the first page of the interview:

> Before Apple introduced the Secure Enclave and Touch ID in 2013, you didn't have advanced security protections. So, for example, the [San Bernardino gun man's] phone that was famously unlocked [by the FBI]—the iPhone 5c— that didn't have Secure Enclave. So in that case, this vulnerability would allow you to very quickly get the PIN and get access to all the data. But for pretty much all current phones, from iPhone 6 to iPhone 8, there is a Secure Enclave that protects your data if you don't have the PIN.
My understanding is that devops are the veteran admin, only now they check-in their code.
In this age of software as a service, the FOSS model is obsolete. Consider the proposed backdooring of WhatsApp - even if I had all of WhatsApp's source code and set up an instance on my own server, would anyone use it? Why? How would I even get a non-backdoored encrypted chat program onto the app stores?

And let's be frank, app stores are a much better model for the non-techie end user than the chaos of Windows 9x.

Stallman's (deserved) fall from grace is leading to some soul-searching in the movement he founded and mismanaged for decades. Better late than never, but I'm afraid it's already too late.

Hi! This sounds like a great idea. I'd like to be a narrator, where can one apply?
You also can't outlaw physics or chemistry. Let me know how non-approved rocketry enterprise goes.
Nucleobase Synthesis in Interstellar Ices
Tangential, but Tyranny of the Rocket Equation [1]. The long and short is that your analogy is much better than you might have thought. Increasing rocket power is definitely (and counter intuitively) not just a matter of scale. The reason is that you're surprisingly constrained in rocketry. You have three primary variables that aren't really all that variable:

---

1) deltaV - the change in velocity you need to reach your destination. this is completely fixed. for instance if you want to get into earth's orbit you need to be able to change your velocity by 8km/s regardless of any other variable.

2) specific impulse of your rocket - again this is mostly fixed. it can be improved by technological breakthroughs, but not by things like increasing scale.

3) fuel to mass ratio - what percent of your rocket is made up of fuel

---

Any two define the third. deltaV constrains absolutely everything we can do, so we can set it as the goal. Specific impulse is not something that can be readily improved for the most part, so all you're left with is a fuel to mass ratio. And suffice to say making things bigger while making them hold an even larger ratio of fuel is not how things work. Also important is that based on our requirements for the first two variables, our effective fuel to mass ratio is already approaching very close to 100%.

We of course take it all for granted now and SpaceX going up and softly autonomously landing back down, sometimes in the middle of the ocean on an autonomous barge, is increasingly starting to look almost mundane. But it's borderline miraculous we can achieve this, and indeed if Earth was just slightly larger (about a 50% greater diameter - just some 4,000 miles) it wouldn't even be possible for us to leave this planet with anything like current technology, regardless of how epic a scale we built upon.

I’ve yet to see an editor that works well with YAML, yet JSON and XML are simple. Add comments and trailing commas to JSON and it would be perfect to write. And XML isn’t that evil, really.
> Is security policy via DNS really a good way to go? There are other, imo more effective, ways of handling this. If your security policy can be defeated by using a DoH resolver, it’s evidently not very hard to bypass.

That's assuming the clients and the network are adversarial to each other. Consider that the local DNS resolver may be blocking domains associated with malware or ads, which the client wants for it to do, and then changing the default DNS from the one configured via DHCP results in clients getting malware and ads they didn't want.

> While this can be true, it’s not actually anything to do with the way DoH works. You could just as easily choose to only upgrade to DoH when the DNS provider of your choosing happens to support it.

The major criticism of DoH is Firefox enabling it by default and overriding the existing system DNS configuration, requiring manual reconfiguration of arbitrarily many client devices to change it back to the way it was. There can obviously be no legitimate objection to it if it is disabled by default and only used when explicitly enabled by the user.

> Home internet is not new or uncommon. 76% of the US has internet access according to a cursory Google search. A vast, vast majority of these users are casual users. The control plane is not under their control necessarily. The control plane is not something that can just absolutely be trusted.

This is a great argument for making DoH/DoT/DNSCurve/etc. the default configuration for the builtin resolver in home internet routers. Which thereby solves the problem without introducing a new one where if you want to change the default it requires reconfiguring arbitrarily many separate applications on every individual client device, because in that case you can still configure the DNS for the local network in one location.
The keeping safe argument from government is indeed preposterous. As if that was their mission to keep us safe. Why are they allowing our nature to be destroyed in favor of money/economy? This years heatwaves killed many thousands of people in Europe only, some estimates are in the tens of thousands. This is real deaths in 1 year, not because of terrorist attacks, no fucking backdoor will stop this. And what are they doing? Measures that won't make any difference. The cars will keep driving, the factories continue to produce poisons. Pesticides will still be allowed for better economy at the cost of entire insect species being wiped from this planet in just a few decades. The list goes on and on. It is so sad that I don't really want to listen to politicians anymore. They are the only ones who can change things by law, not me. And what law are they coming with for my safety? A backdoor for Whatsapp and Facebook.. We better ignore all this shit and try to enjoy our little lives for as long it will last.
Sounds like you want an Android device.
I thought there are backdoors already. This must be a diversion.
I agree, CF allows porn and blocking every Cloudflare site isn't a viable course of action for most people. Governments like UK that mandate restricting access shouldn't be doing it for you by DPI'ing DNS.

Instead, any blocking needs to be done on the device, whether it be MDM for any business-related blocking or via Parental Controls/Restrictions for blocking porn.

IMO, pharmaceuticals aren't the problem either. Most drugs aren't outrageously priced (or have well priced generics). The hysteria over drug prices typically seems to revolve around a small set of outrageous cases.

My opinion is insurance as the primary billing method is almost exclusively responsible driving up costs. It adds a ton of complexity and admin work while discouraging general improvements to care.
> In the end, a society gets what they deserve, and those revengeful reap what they sow. Like those clinging to guns for "protection", and dying from gun crime (or from their own gun-owning family members).

Which way does the causation run, for both?

https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2013/03/homicide-rates-in...

During the 20th century the US homicide rate fluctuated from 5-10 per 100,000. In Germany, France, Sweden, and England, it was below 2.5 the entire century.

Focus on France and the UK (since Germany and Italy were unstable states during part of that time). In France, the first gun laws date to 1938. By that time, France’s homicide rate was about 1 per 100k, about what it is today. The first UK gun laws started in 1920. The UK murder rate has gone up since that time. (Handguns, which are responsible for most US gun homicides, weren’t banned in England until 1997.)

How did gun control cause low homicide rates in those countries when homicide rates were already very low (at current levels or even lower) before gun control? That’s an “umbrellas cause rain” argument.

Likewise, the death penalty wasn’t eliminated in the UK until the 1950s. Criminal justice reform in Europe generally happened in the 1960s and 1970s.

How did criminal justice reform cause European homicide rates to be lower when they were already very low?

The idea that gun control and lenient criminal laws caused lower homicide rates in Europe contradicts all the available data. The only supportable conclusion is the opposite: that Americans remain resistant to lenient criminal justice laws or disarmament because America is a much more violent society.

Don't worry too much about it, there's merit in doing any of the levels anyway. Doing it the way from the article is much closer to the metal than using ws2812 or neopixels. These programmable rgb LEDs are quite complicated, they contain a shift register, three DACs and three LEDs, but they're super convenient if you want to place lights anywhere.

I suggest you look at esp8266 and micropython, if you want to get a quick start. You can get them rather cheaply on aliexpress, along with ws2812 strips. Or you get them from adafruit, which is much quicker but more expensive. Adafruit calls the LEDs neopixel, so Google for that too.

And of course you can message me or anyone here at any time. Doesn't mean we're experts, but we'll help as much as we can.
Politicians are not at all stupid in general. The problem we have is in their selective listening after we elect them.

If a legislator is not technically up to speed, considerable tax payer money goes towards hiring people in government to do the research and the explaining. Some high level advisers may come from organizations with a private agenda and after a few years of working within the goverment these experts pop right back to their industry jobs and we don't hear of them anymore.

Ultimately its the same need in whatever form of government we want – we need people we can trust.

> Executives rarely deal with the fall-out of bad decisions

This is a fantasy. Executives come-and-go at the same cadence as regular employees as a % of staff. Look at any exec on LinkedIn and you'll see the same 18-36 month stints as everyone else.
AWK's primary use case is processing a file line by line. It offers a few well thought out mechanisms to do so, allowing you to script relatively complex operations in just a few lines. At the same time, and acknowledging it's not pretty, it's powerful enough to run an http server (not kidding: https://github.com/kevin-albert/awkserver).

So if you want/need to write a script that requires more sophistication than cat, join and sort offer, but you don't want the hassle of setting up IO, field splitting, pattern matching in a more complex programming language, etc., AWK is your friend.

Some of examples of my own awk scripts: converting csv to json, counting trigrams, splitting text by words or sentences, getting the one line from a complex and long log file that I needed, pre-processing files before compilation, cross-tabulation, rewriting file paths, converting weird file formats and ad-hoc templating.

What types of businesses — perhaps the industries — do the majority of your applicants come from? I'm asking because, from my limited experience, it seems that many small and medium sized businesses that are NOT in the IT field are afraid of testing newer tech.

The justifications I've been given for this stance are:

1. Newer tech introduces new problems, and increases the scope of working knowledge

2. Adopting new practices requires the business to attempt to hire for that skill in the future

3. Present managers, whose experience stemmed from working in a sysadmin role, do not have the working knowledge and capability to understand/learn new practices

With that, do a lot of applicants seem to come with a basic/old background of just Windows (or the like) experience?

It's hard to try and get any of your mentioned requirements running in these businesses. What my friends and I've encountered is a big resistance to the command-line (Powershell or Bash), learning how Linux systems are configured, or anything that doesn't come with a large support contract.

If yourself or anyone on HN has tips or anecdotes on how to introduce changes — gradually and slowly AND given that it could help the business — I would LOVE to read them! My biggest goal is to reduce operating and capital costs for systems that are not accounted for contributing directly to increasing the company's revenue (at least when you don't control that calculation, anyway).
