> There are absolutely devices with exclusively RO media with plenty of processing power to perform meaningful crypto (e.g., embedded devices with 802.11 wifi).

Well, those devices are flawed. Unless they have special hardware to generate random numbers? I mean, the ability to generate random number is such a basic feature. If your communication hardware doesn't have it, your communication hardware is crap, and that's the end of it.

I maintain what I said: if a system is big enough to do crypto, it is big enough to persist 32 bytes. When you can process a 64-byte Chacha20 block in RAM, you can spare 32 bytes of EEPROM or flash. I think this is reasonable enough to be "grounded in reality".

That said, of course many devices out there are so badly designed that even though they're powerful enough to process elliptic curves (and I presume the entire Linux kernel), they don't even have enough persistent memory to store 256 bits of entropy, and they don't have a reliable, fast way to generate 256 bits of entropy. Stupidity is a thing, I know.

Acknowledging such stupidly designed devices is of course very important. We do what we can with what we have. But let's not go the C standard route, and use that stupidity as an excuse to never use persistent state or random generation instructions. Let's use the capabilities of our platforms, dammit.

For instance, that stupid WiFi router is not an excuse to not persist state on a freaking desktop. (Or laptop. Or palmtop. Or R-Pi. Or virtualised server. Etc.)
In my experiments with MIP there was a dramatic performance difference between free and non-free solvers. Did you also experience this?
Yeah, when I first saw the headlines yesterday, I plunged, happy to have more fodder against a guy as consider really nefarious to the whole internet ecosystem.

But the actual quotes are underwhelming. "Warren wants to break our company. Well, we will go to the courts if she tries." is not exactly a shocking reaction. You don't exactly expect him to agree with Warren's position there.

The headline maybe, the actual proposal seems quite reasonable to enforce:

- The right to be informed as to what data will be collected, and how it will be used

- The right to opt out of data collection or sharing

- The right to be told if a website has data on you, and what that data is

- The right to be forgotten; to have all data related to you deleted upon request

- The right to be informed if ownership of your data changes hands

- The right to be informed of any data breaches including your information in a timely manner

- The right to download all data in a standardized format to port to another platform

Speaking as European this just seems to be "let's copy that legislation".

In the mid 90's, I was very surprised to discover that a popular telnet program widely distributed in Linux distros was written in C++, with cruft like abstract base classes with pure virtual functions and whatnot.

(I was looking at the source because the stupid thing would disconnect whenever the PPP connection went donw; it was over-reacting to EHOSTUNREACH errors on the socket, which are recoverable; I fixed that, at least for myself.)

(We all, eventually, end up on the other side of the equation.)

Given that resources are indeed not infinite, there must be a limit to this planet's capacity to sustain human beings. Most governments don't seem to want to limit childbirth and instead _encourage_ it (more babies == more taxpayers).

Once that limit is exceeded, barring technological advances, what other outcome can there be?
We need something like a new bill of rights for the electronic age

- Ensure Fourth Amendment protections apply to all digital communications

- Restrict electronic public surveillance and retention of data by the government obtained by electronic means in public.

- Restrict government access to public electronic surveillance data created by private entities based on Fourth Amendment limits: by warrant only

If the Founders could have anticipated the way we communicate today they would certainly have included electronic data in "papers and effects."

And they also could not have anticipated the ease with which government can now collect data electronically and through public surveillance on millions and millions of people, cost-effectively. While there can be no expectation of privacy in a public space, there is something fundamentally different about your activities in public being recorded, and stored for an indefinite period, without any suspicion of wrongdoing. That should be addressed in law.

I agree completely. If you ignore the subttext that Facebook appears somewhat responsible for sniping elections/referendums with targeted (mis)information campaigns entirely; then this really shouldn’t shock anyone.

In the abstract “Here we examine junior scientists applying for National Institutes of Health R01 grants. By focusing on proposals fell just below and just above the funding threshold, we compare near-miss with narrow-win applicants”

In other words, scientists who just barely missed funding “near miss” versus scientists who just barely were over the threshold to receive it “narrow win”.
I have to say, as someone who's been somewhat critical of Facebook's dealings for the past years, I read the entire thing and I can't pick up on anything that doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to say to your team.

While this is technically true, I am not quite sure that it is the way to manage this kind of relationship.

As European I am pretty pissed off just by this affirmation.
Many seem to think GNAT is the only game in town, when actually there are 6 commercial compilers still available.

Excerpt from the letter sent to Congress.

>Moreover, the centralized control of encrypted DNS threatens to harm consumers by interfering with a wide range of services provided by ISPs (both enterprise and public-facing) and others. Over the last several decades, DNS has been used to build other critical internet features and functionality including: (a) the provision of parental controls and IoT management for end users; (b) connecting end users to the nearest content delivery networks, thus ensuring the delivery of content in the fastest, cheapest, and most reliable manner; and (c) assisting rights holders’ and law enforcement’s efforts in enforcing judicial orders in combatting online piracy, as well as law enforcement’s efforts in enforcing judicial orders in combatting the exploitation of minors. Google’s centralization of DNS would bypass these critical features, undermining important consumer services and protections, and likely resulting in confusion because consumers will not understand why these features are no longer working. This centralization also raises serious cybersecurity risks and creates a single point of failure for global Internet services that is fundamentally at odds with the decentralized architecture of the internet. By limiting the ability to spot network threat indicators, it would also undermine federal government and private sector efforts to use DNS information to mitigate cybersecurity risks.

There have been numerous studies on this, and the results are basically always: people don’t think that it’s faster to stick with the keyboard, but it is. Yes, even for people who are very familiar with the task, the keyboards, and the mice.

There are some interactions where switching to the mouse and back is faster; things like drawing and navigation through irregular shapes (I.e. “not grids or lists”).

Whether that difference is important to you or not is far more about your specific circumstances than anything else. Comfort is important also.
Many years ago I was on a team designing a "smart sensor" box. The heart of it was an integrated precision A/D + 8051-compatible microcontroller chip from Analog Devices:

https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data...

None of us has ever worked with microcontrollers before. It was my first ever job out of school. I don't think we would be able to deliver the product if the chip datasheet was not awesome. It had everything. Memory organization, registers, peripherals, board layout and grounding recommendations, ADC driving, etc.

Thank you, Analog Devices engineers.

Yes, but you should not credit the entropy you added if you're not sure it's never been used before. And you need to credit it to avoid hangs.
Not attacking Google - their approach here is fine.

But Mozilla switching people is a worry for me. Sure people “have a choice” but in reality expecting the average Joe who doesn’t even know what DNS is to make an informed decision about it is unrealistic.

Meanwhile Mozilla has started sending a list of every domain you visit to a US company subject to US law enforcement. Not ideal.
That's actually the first time where Zuck officially acknowledges breaking up Fb and Google is a possibility, placing this onto the agenda for future (or even current) US administration and campaigns apart from Elizabeth Warrens plans.

The idea that Zuckerberg would have ever said anything in a company all hands meetings, that would be shocking if publicly revealed, would suggest a poor lack of planning. Though I suppose he likely speaks rather candidly at these weekly all hands, he has probably always considered this a possibility. That's why he had no issue taking ownership of it, when it leaked. It isn't that damning to say you'll go to bat for the company you founded, if necessary.
If you cannot guarantee that the entropy has never been used before, that's bad.

I never had a coffee from a Costa machine, but purely from the looks of it, and my experience with similar looking machines, I wonder: does this really produce espresso (as in say 16grams of fresh ground beans in, water at proper temperature and pressure of like 6 or more bars, yielding something like 32grams of beverage) or rather something which can best be described as 'strong coffee'?
Hey fellow Circuit Launcher! Appreciate your thoughtful questions.

1. Pretty much everything that we do today is a net positive CO2 emission. The products we buy need to have that carbon capture baked into the cost. Imagine if everything you bought was paying to remove the emissions it created, and even going carbon negative. We want to support the technologies that make this possible, and help other people learn that this technology exists.

2. Direct air capture

3. Yes, captured carbon dioxide is safe, it's in the form of a graphite powder.

Article about Chinese government stealing Airbus property and here we go derailing it towards Boeing.
The outcome was a settlement as a slap on the wrist for a company that size and that arrogant (did you watch Gates’ testimony?). Really no significant business practices were forced to change either.
I’m unsure why this has to be set at the browser level instead of the OS level. What happens to all the DNS calls made by non-browser services on your laptop?
Feh. It was a proverbial slap on the wrist. But you're absolutely right: it wasn't about destruction.

At the start of the trial, Microsoft "only" gave about $10K to political campaigns. By the end, they were giving $1M to BOTH parties each year. This was the real problem. The government extorted them for political cover. And it's not like they were picking on them; they just forced them to start paying into the system in proportion to their success, like everyone else is expected to at that level.

I think the missing piece here is the constant focus on the US.

In Europe ISPs are under much stricter rules about data privacy and generally cannot do things like the above. Having worked for several ISPs here I’ve never found them misusing DNS data (although sometimes it was logged for a time for management / troubleshooting.)

For a European; with reasonable trust in my ISP, I don’t want Mozilla sending all my queries to a US company which can be forced to reveal that to the US govt, or use it for some other nefarious purpose.

FWIW I’ve never used my ISP DNS though have always run my own recursor at home.
I'm sad about this. It appears to me that the original was buried, despite being interesting and extremely relevant for HN, because it doesn't fit the popular narrative of Zuckerberg being an uncaring evil robot.

Ask IH: Can DNS Change Affect SEO?
So on Saturday, I changed from GitHub Pages to Firebase hosting.

I had some issues with GoDaddy's settings panel, but now it should be ok, but still see a lot of browsers not reaching the website, I see this through GA.

I was thinking this because Firebase servers might be located somewhere different than GH pages...and hence appear in different positions on searches.

For example, my organic traffic was higher than referrals until right before I changed the DNS

Some browsers, like Firefox, Safari are not reaching the server, hence the low traffic.

What do you guys think?

thank you and have a great day !
