I recently started using the multi-account container addon. And I love it. Just before I also started using Mozilla's Facebook container[1] and it works as intended as well.

I know supercookies and other fingerprinting means I am probably being tracked still, but at least I am minimising it without going full time incognito.

Previously I was using Profiles to separate personal, work and clients, and though about:profiles help switching quicker it was still messy, and confusing which profile a link would open in etc.

Now I can separate Facebook, Google products and Amazon into their own containers. I can keep various client browsing separate from my personal, I can keep more suspect websites in its own container, finance, infrastructure etc. Love it.

"...as America’s ability and willingness to produce and pay for the weapons needed for military supremacy remained undiminished."

I don't think the real objective is to win any war. Instead, it has been to ever-expand the defense budget. Given this, it has been a success.
I suspect you're overcomplicating the attack with all the math and we can ignore most of it.

The only way the attacker can tell the MS Crypto API is via the TLS protocol. You can only do it if it's relevant. The only option for that is to use ECDH, which allows the server to supply EC parameters for the Diffie-Hellmann exchange.

My bet is that the problem is that MS Crypto API took those parameters as correct without checking them against what's in the certificate. I.e.,

ServerKeyExchange - here's the EC spec, we just need the public key
Certificate - ah - here's public key, we have the ECparams - let's run the math

:)

You can just read "requires text when it shouldn't". But I don't recommend this terminology: in most modern computer programs, including Python 3 implementations, "text" and "Unicode" mean the same thing, but outside of this context Unicode is just more precise: sometimes "text" means ASCII and sometimes it means things non-represantable in current version of Unicode.
I always thought that it was console that was just playing catch up on all the PC strategies. Could you please further elaborate?

"Forget this site" seems to work well for me, but selecting thousands of history items manually and then pressing the delete key will lock firefox up for tens of minutes.

There is definitely something profoundly broken with how history is being handled. Probably more than one thing that's broken, from the sounds of it.
That's why you can't be sure that someone else is conscious. If you program the computer to say it's conscious, that doesn't tell you whether it's conscious or not, only whether it claims to be conscious.

However, you do know that you, yourself, are conscious. Consciousness proves its existence every moment by presenting itself to you, by your own pain being something you can notice.

If you were a computer who was simply programmed to act as if you were conscious, there would be no subject to the experience. The rest of the world would think you were conscious, but you would be "dead inside". There would be nothing it would be like to be you.

So the reason why the experience called consciousness can't just be explained by the brain processing inputs like a computer is that that gives no theory for why consciousness feels so immediate to the person who experiences it. It explains why someone would act as if he were conscious, but not why consciousness itself would exist the way it shows itself to exist to you every moment.
Whatever bug you're hitting is unfortunate but it's not really related to telling cable capabilities by sight.

Knowing the data rate of a cable is an utter mess. But for charging, every cable can do 60 watts. For most purposes the difference between 60 and 100 watts is pretty minor.
Ben Thompson talks a lot about networks and platforms in his blog, and it's always from the perspective of the capitalist: here's a great way to capture value and make a profit.

When he does consider the perspective of the user or consumer, it's still indirectly from the perspective of the capitalist: users/consumers will behave in X way, get Y value, etc, which is why [megacorp] should do Z.

I'd really like to see him take a broader view. Could he imagine a set of rules/regulations that would result in a better outcome for the public?

I've long been thinking about this problem:

- we all much prefer a single platform/network

- but if there's a single platform/network, then there aren't good market incentives on the side of the provider

This seems like such a fundamental problem in a space he writes so much about. Ben Thompson, please think and write about this!

The only meaningful difference is probably ease. You setup a VPN once but you have to handle SSH every time you want to connect.

Phones all have VPN settings these days, whereas the SSH tunnel would be harder to accomplish.
The only way to do it (I'm lazy so didn't read any of the documents - my gut feeling of an engineer) ... is to use ECDH, which provides EC params in ServerKeyExchange. CryptoAPI might have used those and just pull the public key from the cert.
Why do you think that "the falling of the American Empire" would actually fix any of these issues?
Right, it is emergent among a group of human beings who may or may not be aware of the actions they are taking as is the case with global warming. Although nowadays more and more people are aware of what causes global warming and how they contribute.

That also doesn't mean that some people aren't trying to keep the status quo or rig a system. Just that if a system is unfair, that could be something that was not necessarily designed or intended, but happened anyway.
I wonder networking has to do with any of it. If you're poor you'd be very lucky to have connections that matter, whereas if you're born into a wealthy family there's likely to be somebody of value either of themselves or somebody they know and can introduce you to.
Google maps automatically factors in "agony" when you ask for transit directions (by design), and the "schedule explorer" gives you a visual layout of all the travel times and transfers you can use. It's very similar to the way Hipmunk displays flight information, so I never understood why Google Flights didn't adopt the schedule explorer from Google Maps...
I hear talk of the end of the American empire often, but I see issues like healthcare and education as superfluous in the face of a few underlying trends that provide the basis for another American century.

Healthcare reform is something we already have the levers to execute through government policy, and I believe it will happen during the next financial crisis along with entitlement reform.

On the other hand, there are certain trends that there are no obvious ways to reverse, namely demographic decline, geographic dominance, and technological innovation.

When you consider the decline of America in the face of China, for example, consider that China faces a far more serious demographic issue, and as Russia teaches us, it is almost impossible to grow economically during such a period. America's birth rate, however, is 1.8 births per woman with immigration putting the country into a healthy range.

Geographically, American is set up between the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic. If global warming does hit the arctic hard, we will have access to the arctic ocean via Alaska, whereas China and other regional super powers will not. In terms of energy, raw resources, and land America is also looking at self sufficiency for the next century to come.

Technologically, America draws on the best universities in the world, with cities that have external economies of scale so large that they will be hard to displace (ie SV, NYC, Boston). Not to mention we have an engrained culture that affirms those who experiment and forgives those who fail. In the technological sense I think America will succeed also.

Instead of looking at this as the end of America, I think people need to recognize that we face extraordinary problems, which we can overcome. In my own opinion, I think the highest order offence against the American people is American business co-opting the government, and as soon as we work this out, we will have a better ability to overcome issues of healthcare, education, etc.
Kind of. Once you've had a blockbuster movie released based on your exploits, starring Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio, I don't think a Google Talk goes very far on the horn tooting scale.

I remember Steve H. announced the launch of the company on the Tornado web server forum (backend was built with tornado). I used them a lot in the past, especially for the hotel heatmaps, which were super useful.
Middle class income is below 37 percent marginal tax in the US, and they're not super high anywhere I'm aware of. "steeply diminishing returns" definitely does not apply.
Land definitely explains some of it, yea. But we definitely have inflated our expectations as well. The average home size in the U.S. today is roughly twice what it was in the 1950s.
Two Types of Random [video]
The problem with this kind of advice is that it's not really actionable. It's only useful in retrospect.

If you are able to recognize these situations/opportunities, then everyone else would be able to recognize them too. It's not like my brain is all that different from those around me, after all.

You might as well tell me that the secret to flying is learning how to throw myself at the ground and miss.

Hard problems are usually hard problems for a reason, and when you spend time on them you often go nowhere.

Maybe better advice (that is actually actionable) would be something like this:

"Try to tackle hard problems that nobody else wants to tackle during 20% of your time, on the odd chance that you might stumble upon an easy solution and get big rewards from it."

Sort of like diversifying your stock portfolio. Keep some of your eggs in the nice stable investments with low returns, but maybe invest some allocated percentage on some riskier long shots too.
There’s a few types of checks you can send as payment to whoever. I kept asking why we needed a few different types and they all act in different ways. Some are “like cash”, some will “attempt to withdraw” the amount.

I had to ask the bank. I don’t see how else I was supposed to go about my payment when I was asked to send a check.

Either way, it depends on your audience to be honest. If your audience is tech savvy, or designers/marketers, or otherwise expect a nice looking product or service, their expectations will be higher than if they're say, in the market for CraigsList or the Drudge Report.

TIL Google can tell when a government-backed entity is hacking your account
It’s funny that the author on one hand acknowledges that the government sucks at everything it does, whether it’s education, infrastructure, or health insurance. He also acknowledges that the federal government has a tendency to constantly engage in costly foreign wars regardless of who happens to be in office. Yet his proposed solution is to give the government even more money and even more power.
Concur's a business travel platform. These differ from consumer platforms in a few ways:

1. Private negotiated rates - medium-large companies have bulk rate discounts individually negotiated with various chains that can be integrated into the search flow.
2. Policy management - rules like C-level staff can fly business class, or regular employees may fly premium economy for flights over X hours, etc.
3. Expense report integration.

These things are important enough that most large companies are willing to subject their employees to a subpar travel search experience to get this. (I work for a Concur competitor but freely admit that our search experience is also subpar compared to consumer sites).
...bookkeeping, reviewing contracts, managing insurance and licensing requirements, networking, the list goes on. You can farm this stuff out when you get big enough, but in the beginning you need to rapidly learn a lot of business skills that you may have only passively come into contact with prior. You will be better for it, even if you decide to go back to corporate at some point - you'll be relieved you don't have to do all the bootstrapping, but you'll appreciate what really goes into a business operation in a way you never did before.
Nearly every major FPS has frequent updates.

It's not a huge deal if automatic updates work as expected. I've have too many times where my Playstation fails to auto-update and I'm stuck waiting an hour+ for an update.

Seems like an apt acronym for Windows... :-)

On a more serious note, Python seems to have done something fairly similar with the pathlib standard library module.
> So the question is, this simulated brain, which is behaving very similarly indeed to a biological brain: does it have consciousness? Does it feel?

I worry we'll never know the answer to this, even if we manage to pull off such a simulation.
Fully agree. My experiences with Chase as a small business and personally have been great for over a decade. Local branch bankers get things done if need be; their email support is great and prompt; the app on iOS is fast and works well; transactions clear quickly; ATMs are modern and do everything I need.

There's a value to in-person banking when you need it, though I think retail banking has become too prevalent in NYC. No complaints otherwise.
X509 as a whole is fine and this isn't so much arbitrary MITM of any web server. It's specific to ECC public keys(not specifically X509 certs) that validate from cryptoAPI which is a fairly limited but devastating scope. EG Code signing.

Firefox uses its own NSS libraries not cryptoAPI to verify certs and is completely unaffected. I assume every major browser uses NSS or their own APIs as well. And of course RSA and AES certificates remain unaffected.

Oh, yes. That’s what I meant and tried to express, poorly.

The UX makes a huge difference here, a feature is available in theory, but realistically speaking, inaccessible and annoying to the point of uselessness.
Good read. America today looks like the crumpling world described by Ayn Rand in `Atlass Shrugged`. Ironically the reason of this downfall is the adoption of naive form of capitalism that Ayn Rand popularized.
Also this way you can't plug two extension cables into each other, because the cable didn't have the notch, only the lug.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’ve terminated this account
There's unfortunately no standard on which date is shown in the UI. I've used banks showing either one of those and also some that show both. You can sometimes also see both when downloading the transaction in some more structured file format.

It's useful to understand which one is being presented by default.

"risk aversion and fraud resistance over other attributes"

It runs much deeper.

Most of these functions are 'middle/back office' for the bank, they were never seen as important. The 'Ops' part was always just operational labour, things done by 'workers' etc.. It's not 'banking' to the banks.

Software at banks often parallels archaic processes, established for some very good reason long ago, but continue to exist only due to incumbency or possibly due to regulatory requirements.

And because it's finance, the security and stability requirements are much higher, giving new meaning to 'break fast and new things'.

When you add in the fact banks are incredibly incumbent and resistant to change, you get a Kafka-esque web of bureaucracy, inefficiency, arbitrary complexity etc..

I don't see any consumer oriented, 'Stripe-like' modern bank taking over either.
Joe Rogan is not a good example, since is unable to discuss complicated stuff (did you see the one with Bostrom? it was painful) and here guests are valuable for their technical knowledge. Do you want for Lex to sit there half-stoned and ask every guest if he tried DMT?

People watch JRE, because it's fun and he has a lot of very influential people as guests nowadays. It doesn't mean that more interviewers should be like him, God forbid...
> Trivago, Kayak, etc would say otherwise.

Trivago is in the hotel business, which has better margins. Some sites like Expedia will actually take a loss on a flight if you book it with a hotel or rental car, which they make a profit on.

Kayak (and the rest of the Priceline/Booking.com group) takes a much more advertising driven model. You'll notice the site has lots of pushes to sign you up for their various mailing lists that yield long term reoccurring revenue on airline credit cards and travel packages.
Scientists at UVM, Tufts create ‘living robots’
I agree if someone goes about this approach and is respectful of everyone along the way it's not necessarily dehumanizing and there's nothing wrong with it, but regardless it may feel dehumanizing to the person to find out about since that's more about recognizing and optimizing patterns, and less about their individual uniqueness.

For most people it's not really that extreme and to some extent this has to be allowed for. That's the tricky part especially with sex, you want someone who is good at it, but that typically comes with experience. That may make some people uncomfortable. Find a good balance and just call it what it is, young people living life. But it's also a good warning to not "over optimize" and spend all your time going down that route because then some people would rightfully question that kind of behavior. I know I don't want a partner with thousands of sexcapades.
IMHO binary logging is case of premature optimization.

The premise is that somehow binary logs buys you something. Either more precise data or faster access or something else.

Truth is, it could all have been done in ascii and it would have been more portable, accessible and resilient to failure.
Oh hell no. More lawyers to find more loopholes. How about addressing the root cause: the lack of competition? The way to do this is lower the barrier to entry, which is made of 100% over-regulation.

You can involve all the antitrust you want, as long as you don't lower the barrier to entry you're just lying to yourself and adding more useless middlemen.
I believe the control is based on which device you plug the cable into first, except it's impossible to remember and confusing.
Banks are subject to banking laws and various oversight authority/agency policies.

Around here the banking authority started development on new ACH features (4 hour transfer, and they are developing "instant" transfer, and hopefully 24/7 transfer too), and the banks have to get on board in 1-2 years. (There's a deadline. Sometimes it gets extended because too many banks fuck up, but they get fined. It works up, progress happens.)

So, it's very, very, very far from impossible. If there's political will, it can happen in about 1-2 years.
can != its easy. Your story reminds me of my girlfriend plugging old PATA Hard drive MOLEX power cable backwards (12V to 5V and vice versa), I noticed, at the last moment, because it 'only' plugged 3/4 the way in. Mind you MOLEX is designed in a way making such connection impossible, at least in theory :).
Why disheartening? There's a comment from a Mozilla developer in December saying they're planning to work on it.
Thus, ironically, the problem for both the right and the left is the same one- that governments today are too weak. The right needs an at least temporarily strong government to effect the dismantling of the state, whereas the left needs a strong government not merely to respond to the grinding conditions of the economic “recovery”, but to overturn previous policies, put in new protections and find some alternative to the current political and economic order. Dark enlightenment types and progressives are confronting the same frustration while having diametrically opposed goals. It is not so much that Washington is too powerful as it is that the power it has is embedded in a system, which, as Mark Leibovich portrays brilliantly, is feckless and corrupt.

I have always used this argument and agree with it. When it becomes obvious that a corporation is large and too powerful bust it up. Don't regulate the industry so much that you price control things (essentially) and add so many regulations that an army of lawyers is necessary to navigate. Industries almost always tend toward monopolies/oligopolies as people tend to try and concentrate power. Our Constitution (as long as we respect it) demands a split of power but the lassez-faire markets do not.

Assuming skiplagged is still doing hidden city ticketing, it's important to recognize the risks involved here (primarily that overuse of it may cause airlines to reject your bookings and/or shut down your frequent flier accounts). It's probably a reasonable tradeoff for someone just looking for the cheapest flight once, but likely isn't for frequent travelers.
