> Which is basically TOR

Last time I checked Tor's technical paper (probably been 10 or so years), it stated the fact that a relay? node in between can only decrypt the information required to route to next hop and not the actual packet's payload. Is that correct or am I dreaming?

Also, I recall that if someone malicious flooded the tor network with malicious exit nodes, then all traffic details can be `inferred' right? i.e., the assumption was that exit nodes need to route the packet to destination thus it needed to look at every packet but couldn't infer the originating IP address (based on my dated knowledge :))

If a malicious person now floods the tor network with bazillion exit + relay nodes - then essentially all contents (payload + IP src/dst) can be aggregated. Is this still problem in tor network?
Need a bit intro as even state of union seem to need to watch a video. The problem is it said open source then there is here and there Alexa. Do not want to go into Apple and amazon and google ecology sphere as long as I can. It is my home. Not want someone listen to mine. Not to mention we do not know what authorury can get hold of given in a police state here
I was a huge fan of the Seven Up series when I was introduced to it in the mid 2000s and watched the latest 63 Up. However, with the advent of social media, his series seems like a dinosaur. The public can directly follow people on a day to day basis and there really is no place or need for his documentary. The subjects themselves can now reach the public directly if they want to.
Why are you openly spam posting so many threads on the same topic? We only need one.
On the flipside, I was in a Calculus lecture at uni and turned to the girl next to me who was crying. I asked her if she was ok, and she said she didn't understand why she had to sit in the lecture learning Laplace transforms when she "only wanted to be a primary school teacher". From the sounds of it, it was a prerequisite?

Edit: Oh :) I just worked it out - I was taught to fold the subtraction and carry right in one step. I'm an idiot!

Does that suggest to you a conference where they teach the oppressed people of North Korea a mechanism to evade the government?

I disagree completely. I got introduced to the Seven Up series on social media ( digg or reddit? ). The discussions there are far better than an article like this. But even if you think the writing is great, it doesn't excuse supporting a morally bankrupt enterprise like the times. Millions of innocent people lost their lives from wars peddled by the times and no moral human being would support such a company financially or otherwise. Just my opinion.
Like the US.

I've mentioned this previously as a dark pattern that trips most people up.

It's probably fair to assume setting a target location is it, not that you additionally have to exclude the rest of the world. And it's buried in the advanced settings, so anyone looking for a quick default setup just do the minimum required setting presented to them.

I'd give far more credit to Jim Keller, who returned in 2012 and designed Zen. AMD also benefited from Intel stumbling on 10nm and TSMC leapfrogging them. Zen 2 wouldn't be nearly as compelling if it was stuck on Global Foundries 14/12nm process (which is actually licensed from Samsung).

To AMD's credit though, they've executed very well - Jim left in 2015 with more than several Zen generations designed, but there has obviously been significant effort by far more people than just the project lead.
Brand awareness ads. Pretty much it’s irrelevant what you say about brand ‘X’ as long as you bombard gullible observer with ‘X’. Then buying ‘X’ would be more familiar choice for millions than buying ‘Y’ or ‘Z’.
I understand what you mean. However, I said earlier that I have no problem with improving poorly written code. But I also said that I spent enough time on this particular project to know that some problems that existed before (and no longer exist today), prevented us from writing clean code and were not related to the quality of the developers (some of whom are making fun of today). In other words, the problem is not that the old developers didn't know how to produce good quality code, it's that they didn't always have the possibility. Come on, do you all work on projects where everything runs as smooth as you want?

I wish you a long and happy life. I'm sure surgery will go fine and you'll be alright!
A colleague of mine went through some surgery(appendicitis), and he was bedridden for a while. I think he was on paid leave. I believe, one would have more leverage with current employer, where you have established goodwill to cash. I would suggest, stick with the current employer, for now. One may also hire lawyer, if you're concerned about surgical complications. Once you are out of the hospital, well healed, then start a new adventure! One problem at a time.
move you domains off isoc-controlled tlds as soon as you can. It'll probably take some time for them to actually raise prices. Use this time to point your visitors/search engines to your new domain.
Another major area of life. Nice to read.
Some of those were both interesting and new to me.

I am sure that is true for others.
Division is a repeated subtraction operation, and the long division algorithm is just a nice way to lay it out.

Multiplication = repeated addition

Addition = a form of counting
I feel like anyone should be anxious if they don't understand math. How does one get through life without understanding math? Probably by getting had a lot.

No, to "threaten" anyone in a professional context is a noob move, it doesn't work. You (or your boss if you're not a manager) just say something to the effect of: "on this team, if you don't like something, you don't just criticize, you go ahead and fix it". Basically, make empty bitching, moaning, and derision, socially unacceptable, and cultivate the sense of ownership. If nobody owns problems, they don't get fixed.
Yep. Bell, Telus, Videotron, Rogers have preferred to interconnect in the US for a long time (Chicago & NYC). During the mid 2000s the CRTC made bell and Rogers peer domestically over an OC12 (622Mbps) which was congested all the time (they shed some of load into the US). The Canadian IP transit market was a disaster until Cogent came into Toronto at 151 Front which paved the way for several other providers after.

If you look at the history of software development in enterprise, somehow, engineers never seem to be rewarded according to their actual contribution to the bottom line.

Somehow, the managerial class and the investor class insert themselves between the fruits of the labour and the engineers performing said labour. And if you think that's suddenly going to stop because the nature of the labour changes, then I think you're mistaken.

Enterprise structures rewards rent-seekers, because they are built by, and controlled by rent-seekers, utilizing disposable labour. The only way a power structure like that can be flipped, is through revolution. Or by forming your own company, out-competing these enterprises.
It's weird because I was taught long division in primary school that was different to everyone else in class (different maths class). Everyone seems to do some weird subtraction for each digit, whereas I was taught to carry right (i.e almost like how carries work with addition). Way faster, and it works the same all the way to decimal places, no weird remainders. Not sure why that wasn't the standard approach.
I am going to let my .org return to the pool. I will miss having it, but I feel this move is adding zero value. Money grab, violation of net basics.

We are moving to a new, worse time. Have been for a while.

I do not want to reward that investment at all.
I was in Maroochydore, Australia this morning (I don't normally go near the shops there) and the number of big American trucks in the carpark surprised me. In just the section of parking I as in there was a Dodge Ram and two F250s, all hanging a couple of feet into the road being too long for your standard car park. A 4x4 Pajaro next to one of the Fords looked small.

I'm surprised a similar point hasn't been made about those models.
My parents invented a simplified division algorithm so they could teach me the four basic arithmetic operations by third grade, and it was so much easier than long division that I could never remember how to do things the conventional way. I just pretended to follow the teachers' instructions for the next few years.

(All these methods had the same asymptotic complexity. Mine was slower by a small constant factor; on the other hand it actually made sense. It was just repeated subtraction!)
I don't understand why long division would be a mystery. It's just repeated subtraction - you are finding how many times you can subtract the divisor from the dividend, in a systematic way.
That makes sense. And actually I think I could re-derive the algorithm from that explanation.

Maybe they need to explain it in those terms. Or use pictures.
My mom got in trouble with the teacher for doing that kind of thing with me.

That someone possibly had the mistaken belief that this was peak performance for a hand-rolled WebGL codebase..

No one thought that though. This is a demo of good performance using a web framework on top of a WebGL framework. It's showing that a future version of React will make building a solid 60fps web app UI is within the reach of most web developers. Sure, you can hand-roll code to get that performance today if you know how, but this is about putting that performance in the hands of developers who can't (or, more often, aren't given the resources to). To argue that is unnecessary or actually bad is ridiculous. Libraries that make it easier to build better apps are universally good things.
I repeatedly got in trouble for not showing my work in the format they wanted, whether because of intuitive leaps or because of tricks I came up with myself.

The problem is, it also includes anyone who has ever logged into a US VPN. There is no doubt that this will catch some Americans who are abroad, but if you are getting 3-4 non-US clicks to get 1 American abroad click, you are effectively paying 4-5x for that one useful click.
What other TLDs does ISOC control directly? Why sell .org and not another TLD? Is not .org at the heart of the ethos of a free and open internet? This feels like an intentional corruption of ISOC to discredit it's future activity and thereby change the course of future mechanisms for control of TLDs by changing narratives, public opinion, etc. This is so odd I would not be surprised if it one day comes to light that there were State actors at play making sure this deal happened. To me it seems like a point of immediate international security to scrutinize this transaction and invalidate it if required.

Could a trick along the lines of the Apple SMC copyrighted phrase be used to poison a protocol against a cloud provider? Release your client and server under a license like AGPL, with an attached file not under AGPL that both components require.

It's not possible to say the code is non-free because it's explicitly free, but packaging and placement (such as e.g. default pip installs using a trademarked name) could ensure at least some pain is felt to make a typical client talk to a server that does not have that file. Perhaps the file's license allows to be embedded anywhere so long as it is only used to play the role of a client

They have lots of cash but a pretty high burn rate too. Google has lots and lots of fat they could cut. Guess it would really matter how quickly the advertising business died as to whether or not they'd survive long enough to do something monumentally evil.

Seems unlikely, though it may vary from one country to another. Here in the states, you would probably need to take a year of math, but there are levels of math "below" calculus that you can take to get a K-12 general education certificate.

Also in the states, engineering students ask the same question about Laplace transforms. ;-)
The present administration is probably the catalyst for this egregious example of self dealing.
There's only 1 .org TLD - and it's meaning cannot be replicated with another TLD.

It's the same as a TV series - there are great many TV series , but only 1 Game of Thrones on HBO, and it's not substitutable. Therefore, HBO has a monopoly on Game of Thrones.

That’s a good point. You know what, it’s way easier to teach how to solve for x when y + x = 3x + 3 and y = 4 than it is to teach long division. As far as I could tell, that basic algebra is also much more important than long division, so why not teach it at an earlier age? The symbology of algebra is probably great for developing minds.

Just show long division for “proofs” while introducing the concept of division, and let kids use a calculator for division after that (supplemented with calculator-free drills). That way there will be more lesson time for advanced topics. Same thing with long multiplication. Show the proofs using long multiplication, then have kids do progressively harder multiplication drills where all the math is done in their head. In fact, kids might grok first principles better that way.
It's almost never explained with such lucidity. If you find a hundred people who can perform long division, I would be surprised if twenty of them have any idea how it works.
It wasn't until I learned about for-loops that I started thinking of multiplication as repeated addition and division as repeated subtraction. Before then I thought purely in terms of geometry.
Well, that's one way to solve this problem. Replace them with folks who are prepared to own the problems and follow through with the solutions. Simply bitching about something and not doing anything about it has negative value to the team, hence the OP's question.
Routinely we have to explain to users in a crypto related business that 0.00835 Satoshis is the same as 0.008350 Satoshis. Adult humans don't handle decimals.
Because the algorithm is so astronomically complicated that people can’t see any pattern or reason in it anymore and it becomes an opaque mystery.

I have a PhD in computer science but I cannot understand long division.
There's no such thing as "permanently stable", just "it worked the way we expected at release time". As it keeps being used in different environments, with different inputs, different use cases, etc, suddenly it's not working the way someone originally expected, or it doesn't work with newer stuff. Then bugs happen, or it requires new ways to work with newer software. So code changing over time is a sign that it's actually being used and someone is continuing to make it work.

Example: Linux 2.0.39 [1] was released in January 2001, no code changes since then. Some might say it's really stable by now, right? But that doesn't make sense; how could it be more stable than when it was released in 2001? Actually, it's much less stable. Try to download it, compile it, and run it on your modern system today. Will it even compile? Is your hardware fully supported? Will any new software break running under that old of a kernel? Probably all these and more problems will happen; yet we call it "stable". If you want to actually use it today, you would need to maintain the code.

This is why most of the cost of software is in the maintenance. As long as you're running it, you're maintaining it. (The exception is mainframes running the same hardware & software forever)

You should probably read about it as an adult:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

Children are mostly idiots. Education is the process of painfully breaking them out of their idiocy.

Bonus points if you implement a long division algorithm that works on strings in your favorite language.
The author of this article does not understand math :). Learning math is difficult. There're two things you need to learn: fundamental concepts and skills. These two things are related and commingled. Mastering both requires extraordinary effort.

I come from a skill-focused math education. I was pretty good with skills. But I didn't understand fundamental concepts. I still remember my struggle with prime numbers. Those problems were the hardest for me. I didn't understand why prime numbers are popular. In college, I discovered the meaning of prime numbers and their applications. Then, I was reading a lot about prime numbers just for fun.

My kids are now learning in the American education system. I feel like there is a shift to skill-focused math education. I suppose American educators feel like we need to "catch up" with other countries in terms of test scores. I find those objectives silly. Comparing test score is very easy. Gauging concept understanding is much harder. I myself will encourage my kids to understand the fundamental concepts.

What? Twitter's selling point was how simple and intuitive it was.

That's because Twitter changed from a "user" focused to a "celebrity/journalist/CEO/etc" focused platform.

If seems like you got introduced to twitter in the past 2 or 3 years. Twitter was nothing like it is now. You are describing what twitter was 5 or 10 years ago. I don't think

If they simply make something more lean, no real impact to domain name holders, fine. There is some value there.

But, nobody drops numbers that large without very fully exploiting what they see as an opportunity.

Math is taught so badly, that it may seem more complicated than it really is. For instance, many students come away from their math classes, convinced that math is subjective. They believe that, like in English class, the correct answer is the one that the teacher wants to see, and that there is a "trick" for producing this answer.

I saw this, teaching college math for one semester long ago, and also in talking with adults about their experience in high school and college math.

As a consequence, a person may be completely functional at basic math, such as balancing their checkbook, while simultaneously believing that they don't understand math.
