It depresses me to no end too, but i am surprised in the least.

There were tiny groups trying to go frugal and solid. Remember suckless ? I forgot other names, there's also alan kay vpri project with ometa.

At this point we should just disband the patent office. Does it even serve a purpose in modern times? China, where most of our goods come from has no respect for the American patent system.
I work in the networking space, on althea.net. Any number of GB is indeed possible on various types of networks.

What gives you high speed is 1. dedicated frequencies, 2. powerful radio with well-aimed reflectors or large antenna arrays, and 3. clear lines of sight.

Networking software can not increase the maximum speed possible, given the above factors. Phones have neither 1, 2, or 3. Radios in military networks often have all 3.

Claiming that an app will magically make your phone into a much more powerful radio is like claiming that a flashlight app will some day make your phone screen put out thousands of lumens.

> "Sure, right now Flashify just turns the screen white to provide a dim glow, but in the future we think Flashify will replace all indoor lighting. Think about that, we're going to disrupt the whole lighting industry."
> This is some “mediocre boy doesn’t get the super hot girl so there’s some conspiracy against all men by women” BS.

In another post you claimed that men don't have to settle, which directly contradicts this claim. If men don't have to settle, shouldn't mediocre boys have equal access to super hot girls? What prevents such access?

I wouldn't call it's a conspiracy but to say nothing is happening would be wrong. Perhaps people should be made aware of certain subreddits.

Actually, Brainfuck has excellent syntax. The language is very limited, but within those limits the syntax is as clear as can be.
TCP is not based on UDP, so that would not make sense at all.

The parent describes it quite accurately: IP makes no guarantee on delivery and allows dropping packets, TCP promises to fix that on a higher level for applications that need it.
This wasn't terrible. Daniel Suarez spend many years as NPR's (National Public Radio in the US) science guy, and so his tech wasn't completely made up.
They use dedicated radios with good lines of sight (mounted very high up), and aimed reflectors. Not phones with tiny battery-powered radios. NYCMesh is basically just a nonprofit ISP.
To be fair, this could also be to generate some fear in the industry for funding work by the lobbyist groups.
If someone's starting a new website project (that has potential to become quite complex), what would you recommend is the best frontend technology to adapt then?
Second the OS > VM > Docker > Kubernetes gripe. Soon no-one will know how to admin a sys. Companies like Hetzner (http://www.hetzner.com) are offering an 8-core VPS with 32Gb RAM for a mere $40 per month but all we hear about is AWS. It's insane. Facebook conqured the world on a fraction of that hardware back in 2004. Docker and Kubernetes were originally designed to solve problems managing massive fleets of servers but now devs at every 2-bit startup with a single server are expected to be hiding their efforts behind these 2 extra layers. "Over-engineering" doesn't even come close.
The response I've gotten to this project has been incredible, it just needs to get in front of enough eyes where the OS community behind it grows a bit and we get several instances up. The code is bomb, it will go viral with some eyeballs, I have no doubt about. Thanks for the warning but I know a deadend project when I see one and this isn't it lol.

NodeTube also has monetization, livestreaming, lots of epic stuff. Enough interest on Github and this thing will go to the moon in my opinion.
The Berne convention means that the US must respect copyrights held by authors in other countries according to the copyright laws in those other countries. If authors in other countries get longer copyright protection, their works can be monetized longer, leading to a trade imbalance in IP. Countries with laws that offer shorter copyright protection will be incentivized to increase the duration of copyright protection as a result.
Yeah it's probably because I've been watching a lot of YouTube lately, but it feels like there's just a lot more real interaction going on there than on other platforms. It sounds like Twitch is the same way.

One example: I learned how to clean my toilet from this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd6pV5lyvG8&t=1s

The comments are hilarious... Tons of people having the same "AHA" moment. (Basically you paper mache your toilet with vinegar and wait a couple hours. Old mineral stains come off like butter!)

Compare a google search for "clean toilet" and it feels like a bunch of SEO-infested crap.

YouTube is more like the "old web" where you can get a real opinion on something.

I have friends who cook and that's a whole other subculture of YouTube. I've been watching a good MMA show. And there are programming streams, and pretty much every programming conference has an archive, which is a rich archive of free information (e.g. PyCon, CppCon, etc.)

I don't know what's going on in Second Life now but to me it feels like it's probably not "real life". I guess people want "life" and not "second life", and video is becoming an increasingly large aspect of the former.
No, bandwidth and codec improvements made it able to compete with cable TV in terms of quality, while destroying cable in terms of user experience.

I remember the 90s video streaming, with Real Player and the like.... it was not a viable platform for watching tv quality video... the quality was awful, and it would take minutes before you could start playing a thirty second video.

Heroku has an ephemeral filesystem I'm not sure how you would really serve content from Heroku. Better is to use a service like BackBlaze to host. 2000 GB -> 20$/month using their service.
My problem with that 8C/32GB machine as opposed to AWS is that that’s literally everything I want my VPC and direct connect.

"Everything that happens with Tesla gets amplified 10 fold"

Well, one reason people do that is because of the ridiculous things everybody has been saying for years - like how electric cars are inherently way more reliable than ICE vehicles.

It's like how certain people get enraged over short sellers influencing stock prices, and somehow it doesn't occur to them that way more information is distorted in favor of public companies.

And sure, there's no reason to think it was a special unit, but that's the best case, and it's not rational to assume the most likely case is the best.
I'd definitely be interested in reading that.
UDP copies IP behavior up the chain.

To be clear: every intermediate router is expected to implement only IP, and completely ignore UDP or TCP. Each discards packets freely.

(Router buyers have taken up violating the design, and meddling with TCP along the route. Yet, the point stands.)

I looked, no one created packages with those 2 names that I could fine, although there are some clis for controlling spotify it seems. Were you referring to specific packages somewhere for github and spotify?
Rebutting my own comment: even if you need heavy computation and storage locally, that still doesn't motivate a decentralized network.

I would think of it as control plane vs. data plane. The data plane can be massively distributed in space, but the control plane can still be centralized.

And of course that's how Tesla works, and how software-defined networking works.

The "powers that be" just need to control software updates and the network's control plane (routing). They can remotely manage distributed resources.

So yeah unfortunately I'm not seeing a big motivator for decentralized networks (which can be very, very slow). You would have to have some need for a lot of local video processing but also a whole way to distribute code and software updates.

And right now that's more centralized than it's ever been. I'm not a fan of the "silent, frequent, and huge updates and pop up new TOS" model but that's the status quo.
The Unity portion of this comment is very out of date. UnityScript ("some JS variant") and Boo ("some weird Python style thing") had support dropped years ago.
Does anyone have 'respect' for that system?
Your evaluation seems to disregard the relative network sizes and in turn exposure one has on a mainstream platform vs a tiny user created one. This difference seems so obvious to me, I suspect you may only have a limited subset of "issues" in mind, such as the 1st amendment.
I've found a hybrid model to be generically useful. Keep the first ~10 calls in a FIFO queue, and if that queue is full put additional calls into an LIFO stack that functions as overflow storage.

You can even reuse the same data structure and just flip the behavior under load, what's important is having FIFO behavior normally and then LIFO behavior when congestion occurs.
If a patent clerk is confused by the patent, then it should be rejected not granted.

The whole premise of the patent process it that you disclose your invention for the good of the population and in return you are granted a temporary monopoly over your invention.

I would never, ever, reference a software patent in order to implement a patented invention. They do not serve as any usable guide for the so called "invention." Therefore they are a perversion of the patent process and should not be granted.
> What is new is that even democratic countries are controlling free speech via speech laws or often the private companies engaging in evaluating what's permissible speech and not above and beyond what laws require.

That's not new at all. Here are a few of the many, many examples from the past century or so:

- The Comstock laws, passed in the 1870s, criminalized the sending of "obscenity", contraceptives and sex toys via USPS [1]

- There was literally a US agency called the "Office of Censorship" during WWII! [2]

- The US entertainment industry denied employment to many people suspected of affiliating with Communism in the 1950s [3]

- Lenny Bruce was arrested multiple times and eventually convicted for obscenity (saying e.g. "cocksucker" onstage) in the 1960s [4]

- During the Jim Crow era, it was a misdemeanor in Mississippi to publish materials advocating social equality or interracial marriage between white and black people [5]

- Laws against child pornography have apparently only existed in the US since 1977 (!) but still exist today [6]

I disagree this is nothing new, it's an unprecedented intrusion into private discourse but I understand why it doesn't seem to be so. After all, previously private forms of communication such as direct speech are still private and written letters are still roughly as hard to intercept en masse than they were. The only change is in access to new forms of communication.

I think that's enough of a change though to constitute a grave new threat even within already oppressive regimes. Public real time messaging systems like twitter and wechat are fundamentally reshaping public discourse. We can't just say that "oh well, just stick to the old ways of communication and you'll be fine". If the fundamental way people communicate changes, then the fact that this change enables unprecedented levels of centralised monitoring and intervention does change things a lot. Even beyond intervention is specific conversations or consequences for individuals, it gives such regimes an unprecedented insight into the opinions and attitudes of their population as a whole and various sub-groups within it and opportunities to shape and act on those.
Don't load balancers have some concept of adaptive load balancing? Maybe this is a good idea to port over to the async world.
Having run into similar problems multiple times, the solution is to clear cache on an app. If, like me, sorting your apps by storage usage never actually completes[1], browsers are a good thing to check first[2]; Unity games are a good second (those analytics pile up, even if the app is firewalled). If you're rooted, check the analytics in Chrome's private data folder, it was taking up 1.5gb on my tablet last time (not sure if this is cleared when you clear cache or not)

If the primary issue is the same as me, that you download too much crap without paying attention to available storage, just use the terminal emulator to create a 25-100mb file you can delete when necessary.

[2] If you use PWAs to cache data and avoid high data bills, keep in mind that clearing browser cache clears PWA cache as well (my most-used PWAs are for hn and xkcd)

You're on a link that's my opinion, so the numbers next to each link are my ratings. Clicking the buttons on top saves your rating to local storage, and makes a 'You' link to your opinion, where you can put pro/con arguments with your own ratings.

Putting your ratings on the site requires a paid account. I'm making this in my spare time and would have a hard time controlling spam if such accounts are free. I still think the free version is useful for exploring your own opinions.
Don't look at the title. At a glance, the claims looks like a very specific implementation of a flashcard application, which does not seem to be relevant to the current flashcard apps. Did I miss something?

If you want to make a flashcard program, pray to gods Google will take pity on you and not enforce their patent. Otherwise, you better had set aside a couple of million dollars for the patent fight with Google. I mean, the patent will eventually get invalidated, but not before a decade in courts and millions of dollars in costs.

As I am not a Unity developer, I thought the differences between US and JS were superficial and I wasn't aware they're incompatible in that degree. UnityJS seems interesting. What is its status? Is it a draft or usable already?
Other sciences have a more varied history, even recently. Economics: Despite Jevons at the turn of the 20th c., Marx's theory of value still wasn't "dead" by 1970 when Samuelson decided it was relevant enough to publish several articles on how bad he felt it was - some economists still uphold it. Computer science doesn't need explanation. Sociology and modern psychology really got going with empirical methods in the last 60 years.

> The first opium wars, at the start of the century of humiliation, began in 1839. Industrialization began in the 1780s.

We can argue about when industrialization began til the cows come home, but the benefits of industrialization weren't materialized until the latter half of the 1800s - after the opium wars when britain used stolen chinese capital and stolen indian resources.

Everything you've written are nonsense repeated over and over again. It does get exhausting correcting them, but I'll give it another shot.

> It was literally heavily armed, iron armored steamships versus middle-ages style sailboats.

That was the case everywhere. Steamships didn't become truly relevant until the latter half of the 1800s because of how much coal was needed for these ships. Think about it. When the british were trying to blockade the US, it wasn't with steamships. It was with sail ships. Hell most of the naval ships decades after the opium war were still powered by sail.

"sail was still the only solution for virtually all trade between China and Western Europe or East Coast America. "

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

> The Chinese were completely fucked at every single level economically compared to Great Britain, and that's why they lost.

Is that why the US beat britain in the american revolution? Because our economy was so much superior to Great Britain? Is that why the mongols were able to conquer china, russia, middle east? Because their economy was so much larger? Is that why the barbarians were able to overrun the roman empire? Because their economy was so much larger? Britain economy had nothing to do with opium wars. Do you know why? Because britain started the opium wars because china produced so much goods britain wanted while britain produced very little that china wanted. So the trade deficit was so skewed in favor of china that capital flowed exclusively from britain to china. The opium wars was britain's attempt to remedy it. Since britain's "amazing economy" produced nothing of value to china, they wanted to peddle drugs to china.

I won't bother with the rest. Figure it out yourself. If britain's economy was so great ( as you implied ) there wouldn't have been any opium wars because britain could cost-effectively produce stuff for china. They couldn't. Hence why they needed to peddle drugs. Why do you think the corner drug dealers are dealing drugs? Because they can't produce or do anything else of value. That was britain.
Sorry, I don't understand the last part of the sentence.
> Is “virtual location” an idiomatic term for VPN users?

It seems so. I just used it because other have. But yes, technically they're PoPs.

Thanks for the clarification about clustering, and saying "delegated" vs "leased". Still, VPNs pay for address delegation, I would guess.

That's a good point about ICMP being unreliable. I'll need to check whether any of the ping services allow TCP or UDP. But yes, ICMP being slow just reduces the chance of finding superluminal signal velocity.

> Many/most NSPs handily include some sort of location identifier (like iata code) in their device names.

I'm not sure what that means. Where would I get that information?

> PeeringDB and/or looking glass portals are another way to deduce network topology and connectivity, possibly narrowing it down to specific facilities.

I'm not familiar with that, either. Although I at least sort of know what looking glass portals are. So hey, something to learn, clearly.

I did find quite a few minrtts under 1 msec. Suggesting that the VPN server and ping probe are very close. Perhaps hosted in the same facility. But I didn't know where to look for relevant information.

> Lastly your ICMP replies are inherently limited in what you see. Its very likely that there are underlying networks (ie MPLS, or GRE tunnels) that you cant see. Itd be very easy to have an interconnect in AMSIX and tunnel it over to belgium or germany. You wouldnt see that in DNS or ICMP replies, but could infer it through latency.

I'm not sure what this means. Wouldn't adding a tunnel just increase latency? Or rather, is there any way that using "underlying networks (ie MPLS, or GRE tunnels)" could obscure the use of PoPs?

Html is a language. CSS is a language. JavaScript is a language. You can build the Dom by loading html, and you can build the Dom by making calls from JS. You can write style rules against a selector using CSS, or you can write some declarative JS that looks almost the same but with more commas and fewer semicolons. Going back to the good-old-days isn't going to save you since the language is incidental.

Anyone who puts up their first Gatsby site is going to be amazed by how fast the performance feels. They certainly won't be wishing they'd burned their JS stickers.

My biggest problem with the article is that it ignores the cost of "putting users before devs". Writing the simplest, most performant iteration of a site that matches the minimum requirements as you perceive them for today's users isn't that expensive. But that approach crumbled quickly as parameters change slightly. You're one bad focus group or new CEO away from needing to completely rebuild from scratch, except you'll probably need to keep maintaining the old site forever. Then the new site when it becomes the new old site. Then the next one. Repeat until your increasingly-expensive business is completely unviable.
if the references don't point to actual data, you don't need this.

- minimum 2 parts. a relay (reference hash) and the cold/true storage portion. you can break the reference hash up and reassemble only for secret holders. which brings us to:

- content-based routing

- there are also deterministic vaults for rolling keys

i'm actually not sure in what high-level situation "crypto-erasure" would work in because being able to re-key a reference means you have complete control. so why would you need to erase the "bad" key when you can just switch the reference?
