Shutting down the economy and quarantining whole areas will do more harm than the virus. Tens of thousands of Americans already die of the flu and Coronavirus us just a very virulent form of that.

I realise that its grim to talk about, but there may actually be economic benefits from the very sickest dying from the virus and thus relieving the burden of large pension and healthcare expenses.
This is awesome! I miss MS Paint. So much easier for markup.

One nit though, they should add a few sleep() in there so it feels like my old PC. :)
Very interesting, I did not know that! Although, having flown planes myself, it makes sense. You can afford a few second of inattentiveness. Same with boats. But not in cars.
"This makes no sense. your ISP cannot see that you are visiting facebook"

There are many massive databases of ip to hostname mappings which can be trivially queried by an ISP to see what service you're connecting to.

Or if they see you connecting to 185.60.216.35, they can just:

curl http://185.60.216.35 -v 2>&1|grep Location

Or:

openssl s_client -connect 185.60.216.35:443 2>&1 | openssl x509 -text|grep Subject:

Or one of a miriad of other ways to get a hint about the hostname of the service you're connecting to, at which point they can automatically do forward DNS lookups to confirm what matches.

DoH only adds to the number of organisations that can see your web traffic. It does not reduce it, or shift it to a more trustworthy organisation. It just adds more leaks.

DoH/ESNI don't stop your ISPs knowing exactly what sites you're visiting unless we centralise HTTP behind a handful of benevolant gateways the same way Mozilla is doing with DNS.

Fuck that.

It should be easy to disable Autopilot if two hands are not on the steering wheel and start to slow the car down and play an alert over the speakers. Fixes this almost instantly.

These IoT stacks like AWS greengrass (yes the marketing department smoked that day) or Azure IoT hub are missing something fundamental in my opinion : device management.

No, the goal is to constrain "internal memory corruption" to the WASM sandbox itself and values returned from it.
Macros would need to specify whether any expressions will be evaluated in tail position. However, expressions in macros don't look like they should be subject to TCO, so the default assumption should be that they aren't unless declared otherwise. Do you have any examples of cases that would be likely to cause confusion—in particular where a function call appears to occur in tail position in the code but can't be TCO'd because of a macro?

Google "handoff latency". It is a measure of how long it takes a human suddenly dumped into a situation they were not previously paying much attention to, to become fully aware of it and act accordingly. In aviation this is measured in Tens of seconds. This is ok since in aviation you're far from everything when automation is on and thus have tense of seconds to act.

With cars you may need a response in seconds or less in case of a disconnect. Humans suck at that.

Uh, I might consider selling it for a non-trivial percentage of revenue gained by operating on any model of which my data is a part, with an additional binding clause that anyone they sublet access to the data to must also be bound by but I'm not sure they would be interested in my price, especially since based on the consequences of other people utilizing the same tactic, their business model would likely fall apart, and it would require I be informed any time my data was used, which I'm quite sure if they implemented an automated notification for all of their users that their information was actively used/transacted upon, Facebook would become the mother of all spam generators.

Then again, that opens up an opportunity for making a personal data transaction payment information management system (PDTPIMS) so everyone can enjoy the new income stream they are entitled to merely by existing.

Anyone want to fund it? /s

Just kidding, it's a terrible idea; we shouldn't encourage people to sell their information, or legitimize the collection of it wholesale. There are some things that shouldn't be transacted on the basis of commerce. Pervasive monitoring and surveillance is still an attack, even if you're being "paid" for the trouble. The fact a software package to help people manage the revenue stream would likely be easier to implement doesn't justify going down that path either; as the opportunity cost of not having an accessible near perfect distributed audit trail of your life exceeds the capacity of even all economic activity since man was developed enough to barter in the presence of even the U.S. current incarnation of respect for the sanctity of data in the possession of third-parties.

Congrats you do what is expected [0]. Most people don't and trust Autopilot way too much because it's touted as self driving which implies a level of autonomy that the Tesla system isn't at yet [1] able to achieve. Calling something self driving implies a certain level of capability and inattention that the Tesla system isn't up to yet.

[0] Well think and say you do. Most people overestimate how much attention they're actually paying.

[1] And may never be with their camera system but that's another story entirely. I'm still dubious that cameras alone provide a reliable enough picture of the environment for CV systems to go 100% self driving.
Why not make it opt in then?
That you like Dart and that it's a good fit for UI development doesn't make it less risky.

It still seems incongruous that widespread usage is portrayed as an important criterion for Fuschia PLs, but they bet big on Flutter which forces them to adopt Dart, a language which has very little uptake outside Flutter.

For my money, baseball teams should pursue simple encryption schemes where the sign thrown has to be decoded by the pitcher in his head, using as additional parameters the inning, batter, and a special private key agreed upon by the pitcher and catcher before each game.
The fastest way to get depressed is to read the news. I can't name a single decent leader of a major country/party/region today. Everywhere we look, there are politicians stroking differences. We desperately need good leaders and thoughtful/responsible voters.
It's not black and white.

Any local outbreak is less likely to disrupt your domestic operations to the same degree that foreign dependence would. Primarily because the U.S. is a first world country where any disaster is more likely to be better dealt with and when the event is local, you have you have more reliable information for handling a disaster when you are communicating with local channels. Particularly when you are in a country with free speech and limited government suppression.

In any case, to ideally minimize risk you want both foreign and domestic production, even if that means some degree of subsidy for local operations. There are other downsides to excessive free trade of labor and goods as well - we need a happy medium.
This would be super cool if it was part of a Shopify Theme IDE. The default Shopify code editor is garbage, and the closet thing to a real editor, Motifmate (http://motifmate.com/motifmate), is buggy, slow, and I never had a smooth time editing with it. (Although their new product, Motifmate Toolbox is pretty good for syncing changes to a live environment).
The discussion should be around improved UX/UI and better protocols rather than treating people like idiots and abusing your power to unilaterally force behaviour changes on web content providers and consumers.

The more I think about it the more I realise Microsoft's and AOL's instincts were right. Make the internet a walled garden and insert yourself as the gatekeeper.

Their mistake was to do this too early. ~25 years later and the people are now finally ready and willing to allow billion dollar coporates to overtly "manage" their on-line experience for them. Companies love this too because it removes yet one more unseemly shackle from their ambition (i.e. that of needing to work collaboratively with potential competitors) while at the same time providing them with a nice vector to defend their quasi monopoly.

Sign stealing itself is not against the rules, and has been a part of baseball since forever. It's something that can't really be prevented, like when you've got a runner off 2nd base and he can look right at the catcher when he's giving the signs.

It's using electronics to steal signs that is against the rules. It's because electronics basically allow you to "perfectly" steal signs, and one of the biggest things in baseball is that the batter doesn't know what the pitcher is about to throw.

This and also do not signup for e-delivery of new policies. I had this on with farmers for home insurance and never realized they had increased the premiums every year.

This is kind of a sub-issue but from the infographic in TFA:

>Q. Will DoH lead to a greater centralization of DNS, which will be bad for the Internet as a whole?

>A. We agree that centralization is bad for the Internet. Today in practice, DNS is
>centralized because consumer devices are locked to the DNS service of the ISPs.
>And just five companies control over 80% of the US broadband internet market.

For one thing, 5 independent providers within the same country is not exactly
centralized in my opinion. As far as I understand it Americans don't always
effectively have the choice of which ISP they can use, but that's not a
technological problem. You won't solve monopolistic and anti-competitive
practices with a new layer 7 protocol.

Furthermore what does Mozilla mean by "locked to the DNS service of the ISPs",
do they block DNS queries to other services? Here in Europe I can switch to a
different DNS any time I want. Sure, it's easier to stick with the defaults
and most people will do that but "locked" is a strong word which I suspect is inaccurate in this case.

By that definition of "centralized" you could argue that email is effectively centralized since most people just use the free service provided by a handful of providers.

>The immediate impact of Mozilla enabling DoH in Firefox will be less
>centralization, not more because it shifts traffic away from large ISPs, and
>provides users with more choice, while respecting enterprise DNS
>configurations.

So 5 ISPs meant that the service was effectively centralized, but (at this time)
two competing DoH services with Cloudflare selected by default is "less
centralization"?

You've just described the general mindset of every super early adopter. With virtually every early version of revolutionary technologies, there's just a lot of bugs to work out and polish to add, and yes some of these defects will kill people, but that's the price of progress. Personally, I'm extremely thankful that these people have the long term vision to see what something could be, fund it, and QA it for me.
Oh have a look at Twitter. There is a circle of Tesla Zealots that don't drive their Tesla . . . they go outside to "train the neural net". You see, it's not driving for a purpose or for fun. They're driving because they want their car's data to be uploaded to Tesla and used to train the neural net.

These are the same people who volunteer their time to help a multi-billion dollar company deliver cars. The same people who devote every waking hour to viciously attacking anyone who is merely neutral about Tesla or Elon Musk, instead of excitingly approving and encouraging of Tesla and Musk.

It's an absolute cult and I honestly think this is worst than the Glasshole scenario from a decade ago.
> "I think the idea is that if you aren't operating at "pro league" level in anything, you should focus mostly on getting the basics right and not making mistakes."

still, that's just a matter of definition and perspective. even at a pro level, if you don't win, you made at least one mistake relative to your opponent. so to win, make fewer mistakes, right?

i don't play video games anymore (and never played more than recreationally), but i've played pro-am basketball, and from my observation, being a pro doesn't mean you don't make mistakes. it usually means that, besides having highly honed skills, you have more tricks in the bag to recover from your mistakes (and conversely, to induce mistakes in opponents).

so the contention is that everyone can benefit from a strategy of reducing mistakes (aka active practice), pro or not, and the prior anecdote isn't really super-useful.

I don’t get the hate on the term “Autopilot,” aircraft Autopilot is generally significantly dumber and will fly into aircraft or mountains easily. If anything the term underestimates current self driving tech.
It's not just a restyle though: it's in most cases a complete rewrite. At the very least in almost all cases it is a very new UI framework compared to anything the control panel was previously written in (WinRT/XAML versus organically grown madness across mixtures of MFC/ATL/Win32-by-hand/other forms of macro soup). But if Old New Thing and other Windows blogs make anything clear, it's also a ton of new testing, because Microsoft has no idea ever what sort of changes might domino into some user's beloved fifteen year old application that no one realized instead of using the right API for its job was instead scraping the pixels of the control panel for the right shade of purple.
That's meant to be a throwback to the look and feel of the 90's when you saw so many bare bones Apache index.html listings that were something like that.

How old are these keys?
With the water, there is transpiration, which is the water that flows through the plant, evaporation, which is water that goes from the ground to the air directly, and then when the water goes into the water table.

With drip irrigation, you get less loss to the water table and to evaporation, but it doesn't impact transpiration.

For water that winds up the air, no idea there. I'd guess that irrigation would have no impact to down wind precipitation in a given area.
It does this. First, it tells you to grab the steering wheel. If you don't, it plays a chime and disengages auto pilot. If it does this, you can't use auto pilot for the rest of the drive.
Yes, those beliefs are widespread. Just spend a few minutes in r/teslamotors. Lot of folks there believe self driving will be available not just in a couple of years, but this year and FSD for $7000 is a bargain because Tesla might increase prices.

I can't help but feel like that $7000 is an interest-free loan to Tesla for a feature that's only promised to be delivered in the future.
So FireFox will now not simply query my internal DNS server? Good luck with that, because I've disabled outbound DNS except from that server.

No, but ideally (and especially for live failover datacenters) it should be in a different wide-area synchronous grid segment[1] to prevent issues in the event of large disasters. For datacenters in the EU that means having a backup outside the continental EU, which has meant Ireland or Great Britain if they want to stay within the EU jurisdiction. With the UK leaving that means just Ireland.

Other disaster recovery concerns also mean that having large geographical distance between datacenters is a good idea. This can lead to jurisdictional issues, which need to be addressed when building the system.

yes, building a product to include development tools (compiler, ...) of LispWorks or Allegro CL would be expensive and not really attractive. I think Franz, Inc. has such a licensing agreement for Allegro CL, but their licensing model is different anyway.

In former times there was a market for add-one GUI or IDE tools. Lucid CL made money from licensing their Lisp to other companies, which then resold those with tools added on (like the SUN Common Lisp IDE). The Action! GUI designer was available for MCL. CLIM was an add-on product. The big Expert System development environments were available as add-on products to Lisp systems.

For a commercial customer something like LispWorks or Allegro CL might still be worth it - they are technically very stable platforms.

Yeah, our ISPs are going to be totally in the dark thanks to DoH. /s
This is great news. Every six months I go to the dentist for a checkup and teeth cleaning, and it's always the same: they look at my teeth for a few minutes with the mirror thing, scrape off some plaque with the pointy thing, polish my teeth with the spinning thing, then I do the flouride rinse and leave. It usually takes less than half an hour, and then they bill my insurance $275 for it. It's ridiculous, and there's no way this requires a graduate medical degree, it could be done by someone who took a three-week mail-in training course. Keep dentists' offices with DDS's around for major surgeries or unusual situations, but for routine checkups this is fine.
> do they block DNS queries to other services?

Some providers use MitM attacks on DNS queries, to do things like block content or replace NXDOMAIN with SPAM. (Probably obviously, this is not possible with DoH.)
