By its own definition[1], DOH forbids recursive resolution of queries. The client "MUST NOT use a different [DOH resolver] simply because it was discovered outside of the client's configuration"[2].

The protocol seems to be designed to require clients to send all of their DNS traffic to a single upstream provider. This may be similar to your current DNS configuration, and your network may even be limiting your ability to use the internet with bad policies on broken middleboxen. That's unfortunate for you, but please don't presume everyone has similar limitations.

>> "But we need to overload port 443 to hide our DNS traffic!"

It's unfortunate your ISP or national infrastructure requires such obfuscation. In those situations, the current DOH protocol could be a good workaround.

However, protecting against a malicious upstream server sending bad results is very different than protecting against large institutions being able to eavesdrop on your DNS traffic to build a model of your pattern-of-life. The latter is only stopped by not giving a single entity all of your DNS traffic, which DOH explicitly requires.

If you recursively resolve DNS queries locally - ideally in a future where traffic to authoritative servers is encrypted (DoT?) - only the first request goes to a centralized server. Most traffic goes to the domain's authoritative server, which is probably the same controlled by the same entity you are about to connect to with HTTPS.

> Since the ability to find a place to work is so important for any individual in our society to have a chance at a decent life, companies' social responsibilities must have them potentially sacrifice some efficiency to prevent discrimination of large groups.

I think about this often, so let me try to play the devil’s advocate: (1) why are we (the society) allowed (even encouraged) to discriminate for intelligence at almost every point in our lives (school, job, marriage)? (2) sure, companies are forbidden from discriminating because of certain characteristics, let’s take pregnancy; but why should companies be expected to shoulder that burden all by themselves? It’s more than reasonable for the society to cover the costs, as a sort of insurance policy - it probably doesn’t matter that much for big companies that can just statistically assume that a certain percentage of employees will be sick / pregnant / etc. but for a small company 1 missing employee is a big burden (even if the government covers parental leave salary)

edit: could also include "assholeness" in (1), could even blame it on neurodiversity

It's a little bit more complicated than just the cost of electricity, since that affects miner profitability more than what a Bitcoin costs on the open market.

If you look at the historical prices, Bitcoin was around $3000 in February 2019, so it’s not like the price of Bitcoin and the hardware and electricity costs are highly correlated: https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoins-price-longest-ever-bear-ma...

As I said in another post, Bitcoin is a non-sovereign, hard-capped supply, global, immutable decentralized digital store of value. It’s an insurance policy against monetary and fiscal policy irresponsibility from governments and central banks globally.

In the world that we live, that’s gotta be worth something.

> Today, DNS queries are generally sent unencrypted. This allows any party between the browser and the resolver to discover which website users want to visit. Such parties can already monitor the IP address with which the browser is communicating, but monitoring DNS queries can identify which specific website users seek. As more services move to cloud computing infrastructure, this distinction becomes increasingly important, because multiple websites may be consolidated under a few IP addresses, rather than each having a unique IP address.

This is super misleading. Even with DoH, any party on the network can see which websites you're talking to, because their hostnames are sent in the clear via SNI. ESNI fixes this, but it's not clear to me whether the major cloud providers are going to go for that, and if they don't it's not going anywhere.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21264814 was a good discussion of the actual security benefits of DoH.

The thing is, Amazon in its privileged monopoly position in practice forces you to choose between publishing exclusively on Amazon or self-publishing, at least for new authors.

This is because unless you agree to exclusivity, you will be denied access to essential marketing tools like free promotions (via the KDP program), which are essential for building initial social proof and give the book at chance to take off in rankings.

Unless you have a pre-existent audience that you can point to your Amazon non-exclusive book, there is zero chance that it will take off.

Some context from 2009 at https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/73909 :

> The University of Colorado fired Ward Churchill in 2007 for committing repeated acts of research misconduct, including plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, and self-citing articles he’d ghostwritten under other names. Churchill retaliated with a lawsuit, alleging that CU violated his free speech rights by firing him. The court case culminated last week with the jury finding for Churchill, and awarding him one dollar in damages.

Further details from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Churchill :

> In July 2009, a District Court judge vacated the monetary award and declined Churchill's request to order his reinstatement, deciding the university has "quasi-judicial immunity". In February 2010, Churchill appealed the judge's decision. In November 2010, the Colorado Court of Appeals upheld the lower-court's ruling. On September 10, 2012, the Colorado Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions in favor of the University of Colorado. On April 1, 2013, the United States Supreme Court declined to hear the case.

Also, this specifically concerns "the U.S. Army's alleged distribution of smallpox infested blankets to the Mandan Indians in 1837".

The ignorance and belief everything will turn out alright in Australia is astounding.

That 1964 book [1] really did seem to nail a lot:

"Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise."

Boeing started said consolidation itself by having McDD buy it Boeing with Boeing's money.

Much as I love Altered Carbon, it was a robot hotel.

The biggest problem with the whole thing is that they've been completely on-board with the Government's creeping authoritarianism, as long as they get some exemptions for journalists. But more recently, they found (just as all the tech experts, law groups, civil society groups and human rights groups warned - but mostly ignored in the media's coverage) that these laws can actually be used against them - and they have. Sources are drying up as the Government destroys whistleblowers financially (through endless lawsuits) and now subjects them to harsh jail terms. And the whistleblowers we are talking about are the the ones that bring Government wrongdoing to light.

The other blatant hypocrisy is Labor jumping on the #righttoknow bandwagon. They waved through the draconian TOLA act, warrantless metadata retention, voting for them and all the other over-reaching, flawed legislation despite huge campaigns by experts and the public, when they had almost the numbers to block it in the Senate.
Not an expert here, but after a billion years, what would be the detectable residues of such civilization could realistically be detected?

I’m genuinely curious, why is it a company’s responsibility (in a capitalist society) to hire someone less efficient? I agree that work is fundamentally important, but how is this not the government’s responsibility like any other welfare effort? Also, are you claiming that employment is an undeniable human right like free speech or protection from harm? And if so, what happens if there’s something like another Great Depression? (For the record, I agree that neurodiverse groups should be protected like other disadvantaged groups. I also think that they have less spotlight and protections than other disadvantaged groups despite having what’s arguably more disadvantage)

> Several months ago, Coke came out in support of a bottle deposit program in Australia.

Guess who "co-ordinates" the bottle return scheme in New South Wales (where the linked article references)? It's a joint venture of which Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA - the Australian distributor), is a key stakeholder.

So they basically control what is an acceptable bottle, what the price you must pay for that is, etc. and charge for producer certification, etc. It's put the squeeze on a lot of smaller craft beer and beverage producers, as the costs to implement have been pushed on to them.

Oh and in Australia it's illegal for the brewers to re-use glass bottles, irrespective of their prior use or treatment :-(

I Am Going to Take Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies Mainstream
I am the founder of a very new bootstrapped startup called BitYOLO. BitYOLO is started with a very simple goal of getting people in the habit of using bitcoin. Just like any national currency, once people have bitcoin in their wallets and hands, they are bound to use it. And once they use it and understand how easy it makes their life, they will spread the message, getting more people to use it. And for that, I believe giving people Bitcoin as rewards is the best way to go forward.

BitYOLO is an online service that earns you Bitcoin everytime you shop, search, find, listen, learn, subscribe online. The website is www.bityolo.io We do this by sharing a part of our earnings, usually 40% to 82% with our users.

We earn money through affiliate earnings from our partner online stores. As of right now, we have pre approval from 200+ online stores which will be LIVE on on our service. Right now, we are in testing phase of our product. BitYOLO will go LIVE in november 2019. For expenses, I have spent all of my savings in the development of this project.

I am the sole full-time team member as of now, based out of Singapore & India, Apart from me, I have some friends and previous colleagues who are working with me on Pro-Bono basis and some freelance developers who are creating the platform. My name is Shamik Sharma, you can check my LinkedIn here: https://in.linkedin.com/in/nameshamik.

Our Early Access Program is a multi referral program. In which you earn money in bitcoins for taking part in the program and referring your friends.

All of the amounts in BTC will be transferred to the user’s wallet of choice.

We are also LIVE on product hunt at www.producthunt.com/posts/bityolo

I urge all of you to please ask me questions and any doubts you may have.

Due to 2000 character limit on Hacker News, cannot post more details, please ask below.
> directly holding stocks seems to be overall a losing bet for retail investors

I'm not pulling your leg at all. I've been holding individual stocks for 40 years, started buying since my first job. I spend very little time on it, I just buy and hold, and hold, and hold, and hold. I still have the stock I bought 40 years ago.

It's the constant trading based on emotion that'll eat you alive. Statistically, the most successful investors are dead people (while their estates are in probate) because they aren't trading.

I'll ride a stock all the way to zero (hello Enron), but most of the time it works out well.
I can understand the frustration with the Australian media (by all right they brought this on themselves) but that doesn't make this a topic that requires any less care because of it.

These are fundamental liberties for a functioning democracy and they are finally facing some pushback in the general media. IMO this should be embraced and supported by anyone who's been watching this unfold for the last two decades. This is probably the best chance of public opinion swaying to favour civil liberties and I can't imagine it's worth blowing because of what the media has previously done.

> I did not notice anything that said that the work had to be done during normal businesses hours

It doesn't seem an unreasonable assumption.

Having them work outside of business hours (isolated, no real time communication) on an standalone project (because self-onboard on a large and complicated project isn't reasonable) wouldn't really be a representative test of if they can work in a team and on a real project. At that point you are really just paying to solve a larger coding test.

> It should be possible for most people to fit that in around their current employment.

I highly doubt that most people would be able to fit ~40 hours of work on top of their normal work schedule. I'm single and have no particular obbligations, and I would still struggle. No way a parent of a young child or someone who has a dependant parent/relative would be able to fix that much amount of work in their schedule.

And even if someone manages to do 2 full time jobs for a week, would their output really be representative of their skills? I certainly wouldn't want to be judged on the quality/quantity of my output when working late nights after 8 hours in the office.
Well, for instance, TIOBE has Rust at #34, below such mainstays as ABAP, COBOL

Do you believe that to be incorrect? I think you're probably underestimating how widely used those languages are in massive, "boring" companies around the world. Rust may be the new cool kid, and may even be the future, but the number of companies around the world that have adopted Rust for anything significant today is minuscule.

It has Groovy above Ruby.

Again, Java is everywhere, and many Java shops have added Groovy to their workflow where it makes sense. Ruby is barely used outside a small of number of tech companies.
> I welcome the idea of learning from the past rather than imposing romantic fantasies over it, but that doesn't mean the past is where everything of value resides. If you think religions relate to real things, rather than purely being a human construct, then those things have agency of their own, and exist in the present day. Authenticity, then, becomes about the strength of connection.

I see them as instructive in inducing certain mind states, similar to mindfulness, that allow one to perceive reality through a different lens. You will see angels and demons when ingesting psychedelics, that take on attributes of your own psyche.
As ex-C++ dev, that lives in the Java/.NET worlds since 2005, because they still don't cover all use cases where C++ might be needed.

So while you might not write it as full stack C++, a couple of native libraries might be required as dependency, to access OS features, give some help to the AOT/JIT compilers, or in Java's case implementation of more machine friendly data structures.
And by this time tomorrow they will have found something else to get mad about.
It seems to me that the approach Netflix and Disney et al are taking is accomplishing just that.

DRM in the browser was step one. No Widevine, or whatever crapware is needed, no Netflix. Next came the limit on higher resolutions. You want Full HD? Stop using a free operating system. You want 4k? Get Internet Explorer, or better yet, get our app on one of the approved operating systems.

The next step is probably to diminish the browser experience even further until enough users have switched to the 'app'. The only reason is control.

It won't drive us away from a personal computer running whatever modern OS we want, but it is slowly creating a majority of people for whom computing exclusively means a managed device with a pre-approved operating system running vetted proprietary applications.

> people might be a tad leery of having a large asteroid on a course where if you miss by 100km you kill a billion

Fair point! If unsure, we'd better not play this game too close from home.

> I'll say "10 years after we get cheap ($500/kg class) launches" - which might be within the decade, or might be never. I think asteroid mining might still be profitable at far higher launch costs, but the risk and the startup costs would be far higher to the point that it probably won't happen.

Thank you for sharing that perspective.

One game-changer is to build some sort of structure around or far enough from Earth's gravity (I'm partial to orbital rings); anything that can be built now using earth materials only (at least the basic stages), to kickstart a space industry. Though I suspect there are bigger political and economical challenges than technical ones on the way to cross this upward bound.
