I was going to say more or less this. The maximum anyone can get in my major US city for any money (other than a few areas that are trialing fiber) is 20 Mbits/sec. You literally can't pay for more.
The same is true for anti-vaxxers tho...

Obviously the truck is going to pass safety tests. Having a soft exterior that gives-in is not all there is to car safety...

Will Australia also be banning semi trucks?

Collision detection is far more important than body construction in terms of risk to pedestrians and other vehicles.

This reads like regulatory overreach to me, and cherry picking.

> It is not my general inclination to believe that the DOJ routinely manufactures simple statements of fact out of whole cloth.

I thought this as well for a while, until I had some (thankfully limited) contact with the federal machine during weev’s trial.

What happens and what is said as truth in federal criminal court has very little to do with objectively measured reality.
Most things you buy literally can’t be bought any other way. Fabric made in the US is not very common, for example — you generally have to buy clothes from defense department suppliers to get clothing made with it. None of them sell cardigans. Lots of flameproof jumpsuits, though.
I work at Pivotal and disagree with a fair amount of the characterisation thereof, but my bias is mostly informed by actually working there for the last 6 years. Let's look at the heart of the argument instead.

> If you squint, open source could be seen as a very generous charitable donation to some of the largest and wealthiest corporations on the planet.

Broadly: yes. Except backwards.

FLOSS can be seen as a public good -- it is non-excludable and non-rivalrous. Excludability is the property that someone can be prevented from using the good (eg, requiring payment to consume a can of soft-drink). Rivalrousness is the property that utility from consumption of a good by one person diminishes utility for another person (if I drink the soft-drink, you get less of it).

Economics predicts that public goods will be underprovided by a pure market. This is because of the free rider problem. Since I can't be excluded from the good, I can consume it without giving something up for it. Since it's non-rivalrous, there's no meaningful back pressure that eventually raises the cost of consumption to an unacceptable level.

A strictly rational agent will always free ride on a public good. And most of the time, most rational agents will not provide a public good, because the cost of paying for everyone else's consumption exceeds the benefits of their own consumption.

This hints at one of the ways that public goods get provided: through subsidy by benefactors, who will capture some but not all of the value created by their benefaction. A wealthy person may so enjoy seeing the opera that they will donate heavily to the local opera house. They don't capture the full benefit -- other folks can watch the same shows -- but they capture enough value that they are satisfied with the arrangement. They might also get value from other factors, such as social approval.

The cloud providers do not sell public goods. Their services are fully excludable. If you refuse to pay, service will end. They are rivalrous at the limit, though, putting them into the category of club goods. These are much more likely to be provisioned in a pure market, since the benefits and costs fall more "correctly" on those who obtain or bear them.

Is there any pressing reason why you need to tell them? Is there any reason you can't wait for them to figure it out themselves?

I'd be interested to know if there's any age differences across countries too. My kid (in England) knew at age 7 that something was up, and had fully worked it out at 8.

> Either way, yes, your data will also be wiretapped by your carrier themselves and sold on the open market [ ... ]

Woah. Hold your bong son! ;)

Any reference to documentation or any information of what you mean by `sold' on the open market?

If you wanted to prove a point by saying that internet is an insecure medium then yes I agree but `tapped' and `sold' is a whole different ball game that I am not aware of. At least in the internet I know of.
Neat, hadn't seen this. I actually work in the research group at Uni of Bath that develops the original OpenFlexure design. If you have access to a 3d-printer and are interested in microscopy then I recommend building one. You don't have to spend $1200. There are different versions of the design you can choose from. Some just use the Raspberry Pi camera optics and are hand-actuated which makes them much cheaper.

Yeah, fundamentally it's just a Python application. I run it in a virtualenv on my Ubuntu desktop.
Traveling somewhere the government doesn’t like and teaching things to people there should not be a crime in any reasonable, civilized society.
Cars are supposed to send people over in the event of collision, not under.
The Ford F-150 is the most popular vehicle in the USA. Despite this, new car sales of the F-150 outside of North America appears to be negligible. This disparity is instructive.

Cybertruck is a product designed squarely for this North American market and isn't going to have mass appeal in any other global markets beyond novelty factor for a small number of people with excessive disposable wealth.

Yes, the Cybertruck looks like a safety nightmare in many respects—especially for pedestrians—but I would dare guess that it'd still be safer across the board compared to its established competitors like the F-150.
I know AMD's resurgence is old news by now, but it's still impressive to look at Amazon's CPU best sellers and see them holding the entire top 10. The first Intel product is the i7-9700K at #12.

> It returns different IPs for every request,

That's the really bizarre thing... I came here to ask about it after getting confused when the article implied this (30 tests, 30 different residential IPs). It seems like this shouldn't work at all if connections to the Disney plus site involve any kind of state.

Is this a content-unblocking exception, and normally everything is routed through the same NordVPN edge server? Assuming that's the case, this seems like a great way to get your account banned at Disney plus the moment they decide to crack down on this. Assuming you have a session ID cookie with the site, no legitimate user is going to be sending that cookie from a different IP address on every page load. This should be very easy for them to catch.
I'm not a legal professional, but doesn't the 'innocent until proven guilty' principle apply in that scenario? See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presumption_of_innocence

4 isn't so much an allegation of a crime, but a fact supporting the notion that the accused knew what he was doing is unlawful.

Also, you're missing some of the allegations.
If I look at the AMD stock price it seems like when Lisa Su took over AMD in 2014 she brought it back from the dead (and made a 10x valuation in 5 years).

Yes so it's a Z-Wave valve which has been connected to a split off of the cold water line to my kitchen sink. Typically this valve could be used to control your mains but I'm just using it to feed some drip lines. Basically one small garden and then a few runs to individual planters with an adjustable dripper on the end.

I have automations to limit watering if it has rained recently, and also to increase watering if the day has been extremely hot. Still looking to make it even smarter but this has already been a great improvement.
Thank you so much for your input! I've been concerned about mine being 'the kids at school', causing a chain effect for other kids and parents to handle the aftermath.
We've had a live sales map for every Black Friday over the last 10 years. Somewhat refined it every year with the web becoming better and better.

The first ones were a bunch of divs over a png of the world, then canvas with SVG arcs, now webgl. It's a ridiculously busy time at Shopify each year and an event we take very seriously to get right.
I don't know what this guy is doing with all this pragma stuff... Once you hook up to a NordVPN server the IP doesn't change... NordVPN has thousands of servers, I assumed that is why the content providers don't block them, because they can't keep up. Except amazon, which seems to be better at blocking than the others.

Is this guy saying that these thousands of servers are not in some data center somewhere, but actually residential malware?I'm doing some tracepath'ing (not a network guy...) and I don't see what this guy is claiming. I'm calling bs.
Protip: put these challenges into a repo on GitHub. You get the fun of going through the challenges with the added benefit of having work to show off.
Their standard socket bulb prices aren't bad (about $15 if you get a 6-pack), and they do produce bulbs for the slightly different European sockets, but shipping to Europe is about $40 (plus I'd then have to deal with picking them up at the customs office, which is always a multi-hour ordeal). But assuming I haven't found something decent before I'm next in the US in March, I'll pick some up then.

It would not just have to prove the facts, but also convince a court of its interpretation of the law, on which the DOJ does not have the final word. Of course, we also know this. In fact, none of us needs to bother to comment, because whatever the courts decide is the law, is the law, and nothing else matters.

Except of course that these are normative arguments; you clearly feel that, fundamentally, someone speaking at Pyongyang blockchain conference deserves to be prosecuted and possibly convicted, and you feel that this would be just regardless of what a court might ultimately decide on the matter (since you ultimately don't know the outcome).

Some people apparently feel that the guy should not be prosecuted or convicted based on the actions he has been accused of; if there is a law that says otherwise, then maybe the law is wrong.

Others might fear that what they feel can be an inhumanely cruel system will come down on a person in a way that will not serve justice. And who can blame them. Frankly, those people are the ones with a functioning moral compass.

This is a ridiculous comparison. I was around for the first dot com bubble as well and they aren’t similar at all.

In the late 90’s all of a sudden you were able to do incredible things for the first time, like search for and buy plane tickets without a travel agent, send messages to friends instantly without long distance charges, research academic subjects, order out of print books, sell and buy collectibles, share music instantly with anyone in the country. It was obvious that the web was solving tons of problems for people and delivering value.

It was obviously amazing. It was also over hyped and a magnet for fraudsters too.

When the dust clears it’s going to be obvious that outside of the nifty and genuinely value-creating use case of e-commerce for illegal drugs, the entire crypto “industry” will have proven to be completely composed of either naive speculators or outright criminals, with the latter having completely consumed the former.

Seriously though, crumple zones in cars and trucks aren't the sheet metal on the body.

I'm sure Tesla thought about safety ratings. My guess is the "cyber truck"'s sheet metal will crumple in an accident. A car wreck has a lot more force than some guy swinging a sledgehammer at medium force.
Jellyfin is an open source fork of Emby. I've been trying it out after the Plex mobile app "forgot" I paid for it, and will be migrating over soon. I haven't used Emby so I can't speak to the differences, but it seems to work very well. In some ways it's even better than Plex- turning on subtitles doesn't seem to hit performance as hard
Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here, such as shallow reactions to titles that don't engage the interesting content of an article.
LDAP and AD aren't equivalent technologies. LDAP provides "directory services" meaning (practically speaking) usernames, passwords and security policies. AD provides that and much more. For example, AD lets you share folders and manage users, something LDAP doesn't support. So you have to combine LDAP with other protocols.

Many many years ago I had the displeasure of being in charge of an AD to OpenLDAP+NFS migration for a mid-sized company. I was put in charge after an intern had spent months trying but failing to come up with a migration plan. I can tell you it wasn't fun. Especially the weird configuration files and stupid Perl scripts I had to use to communicate with OpenLDAP. I don't remember the details, but there was a lot of character encoding problems (åäö) and places where whitespace was significant in command line arguments.

It made me appreciate AD because in comparison configuring that is a breeze. I'm not much a MS fan but AD is imho a solid product.
I'd like to remind HN that a number of US politicians and institutions are currently laying the ground work for making the use of strong cryptography illegal.

I wonder how it's even legal for One.com (77.111.240.88 [One.com Denmark]) to do business with NK in hosting that website. Isn't this exactly the sort of thing we're meant to be preventing them from accessing?

Anyone complicit in, and profiting from, money laundering for North Korea is effectively a murderer and rapist, at least.
With this much fraud in the founders' background surely the benefit of the doubt about the disappearance of $250M and the founder shifts from "gosh what bad luck" to "there's malfeasance involved here".

But the one thing that gives me pause is a Globe & Mail investigative piece confirming Cotten's death. They looked hard, in India, and the story held up. Then again maybe the reporters just got hoodwinked. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-how-did-gerald...
It's also an argument nobody here made.

Maybe you forgot what is discussed in this thread? The argument was about workers sacrificing their life for industrialisation, suffering through lack of safety, work dangers, etc, and then tossed aside as seniors. To quote:

"These people literally put their life into the modernization of the nation. Some of them died young, mostly from poor safety measures in their work environment. A lot of them suffer chronicle diseases that make their life a living torture. Yet even more of them wait to see the grim prospect of a miserable senior life. We are not even starting mentioning the tragic life of these events on their offsprings!*"

-- that is, nothing specific to totalitarianism.

Those things happened every time and for every country that developed from from a mostly agrarian society to an advanced industrial one, so there's nothing "absurd" about considering them as typical stages...
no, the horrors should make my relatives stfu and stop complaining, because they are lucky they aren't on the wrong end of the coin flip.

Better performance [2] with less cores, much better pricing, and the kicker for me is PCI Express 4.0 [1]. Intel doesn't even support the newest generation of NVMe storage. So yeah, AMD is dominating for a good reason- for now anyways.

There are human rights abusers in every country. We don’t arrest conference speakers for speaking simply because bad people may attend and listen.

It is unscientific and inaccurate to paint all north koreans with such a brush. Having been there, I can attest myself that the majority of the people I met there were peaceful, impoverished, and scared. They need all the tools they can get.
I think the only solution for this is to phase out ICE vehicles entirely. No matter how quiet they are when they leave the factory, there is always some idiot who's gonna modify the exhaust because he thinks that making extra loud noises makes him cool.
Looks like from a prior HN discussion, maybe if he published a book and mailed it to the conference, it would be ok?[1]. But export of electronic code is not ok?

I also am under the impression the case is about unlawful export, but perhaps they're concentrating on a different theory.

Companies would never do it because of competition. Only a token company might do it, when it doesn't need to compete as much (e.g. has a niche, sells luxury stuff with a secure market, where the positive work balance they sell as part of the brand). If many did it, then this good-will gesture would lose the marketing value for the company (since it would be common).

Instead, companies need to be forced to do it, by law -- like they were forced to stop child labor, to have safety laws, to 8 hours workday, etc.

I think the main catch would be this new ASN would become known by the very companies/services trying to ban non-consumer IP blocks. Providers like DigitalOcean, AWS, and Azure are non-eyeball networks, so you see more bots and geo-shifting users (nonUS users trying to avoid a geo block by Disney for example). Any IP announced by the ASN would be known by looking at the bgp announcement and listed/blocked.

Hiding bots and other users among the huge Comcast & Spectrum IP blocks makes it harder for media companies to block them. It’s just how do you legitimately buy a bunch of consumer connections, or get users to install software to share their consumer connection, hence the NordVPN clients I assume.
That sounds roughly like how the Catholic Church is treated in China.
Attorney here! (Not legal advice.)

"Innocent until proven guilty" applies to criminal guilt, i.e., to a person accused of a crime. When it comes to property, however, any evidence, or the suspected instruments used or fruits resulting from a crime can be seized solely upon the issuance of a valid warrant, and held almost indefinitely.

In the U.S. it's completely legal in most states to purchase armored vehicles. Most people can't afford them since even used decade old vehicles are $300k+ . This is very similar to why it's 100% legal to purchase soft body armor even level 4 (resistant to armor piercing rifle rounds) plates. Personally, banning items like this seems backwards, since politicians and rich people can afford to hire dozens of people with assault weapons and body armor while common folk can't.

Also, claiming something is "resistant to 9mm" doesn't really mean "bullet proof". A lot of things are inherently impervious to pistol rounds, I can just about grantee 7.62x39 or 5.56x45 would sail right through the cybertruck.
