> Some people are, however, quite vehemently demanding that all software/hardware be designed by law to give root to a trusted third party.

My point with my analogy was that, in the real world, hardware/software already do give root "by law" to the state. Not explicitly, but rather implicit in the fact that the government can tell you what to do, and so, if they want to control your computer, they can make you do it. (What else do you call a National Security Letter?) That's kind of what "by law" means—the law doesn't need to say that the law supercedes X; the law can supercede X in any specific case, any time it likes. If a court rules you need to open up your computer, there doesn't need to be a law making that request legal. A court said it; it's legal by definition.

And even then, a government only needs (the public conception of the machinery of) the law on their side if they aren't all that motivated to deal with you. If they really care—think "motivated enough to go though the trouble of putting someone into a witness-protection program, but... the opposite of that"—then there are plenty of private places they can disappear you to, and paint over your life with fabrications of criminal behavior they caught you in, including several months of evidence from a parallel running manufactured narrative of your life.

If you think there's a difference between dying by having your heart unplugged, and dying by having a SWAT team show up at your door with munitions you can never hope to have parity with, I don't know what to tell you. Either way, you're going to end up doing what they say, or dying trying to get away. (And if they really really care, you won't even be able to do that. You'll just wake up in a straightjacket in a padded room with all your teeth pulled out, so that you can't even bite your tongue.)

First, by the time of his imprisonment he was not yet the world's greatest rocket engineer. He became one some 20 years after.

Quote from here: https://www.esa.int/About_Us/ESA_history/50_years_of_humans_...

> On 23 March 1938, Valentin Glushko was arrested. To reduce his charges he denounced Korolev, which resulted in his arrest on 7 June and a sentence of ten years forced labour. From that day on, the two men were bitterly opposed to each other.

So as you can see he was not sent to gulag out of spite by Stalin but out of envy and professional competition by his fellow rocket engineer.

While in gulag he was not tortured or sent to gold mines. He and other scientists continued their work in relatively comfortable conditions in so called "sharashka": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharashka

I'm not saying that Stalin was a saint or a winged seraph. But definitely he was anyone but an idiot.

Also Korolev did not died because he was sent to the Gulags. He died from a chronic disease from which he started suffering long before he was imprisoned.
Where are you possibly getting that latency is a problem for 10 minutes in between blocks that miners are deciding? All a node needs to do is basic verification while sending out data. Anyone who has just synced with the chain can see that it takes less than a second per block. Where are your numbers coming from?

There are so many issues with this. I used GCP because I liked the service and was able to build all of my stuff well on it. My personal projects already make me shell out over $250 a month because of running costs and now you want to gouge me for hourly running of a cluster I alraid pay hourly of compute time for?

> Only way to know what is testing with random sampling from the asymptomatic general population.

They did. They tested a lot of people in contact with infected people (so even more likely to be an asymptomatic carrier than the general population) and their findings from the link above is:

> Asymptomatic infection has been reported, but the majority of the relatively rare cases who are asymptomatic on the date of identification/report went on to develop disease. The proportion of truly asymptomatic infections is unclear but appears to be relatively rare and does not appear to be a major driver of transmission.

Given the evidence the onus is proof is now on anyone claiming there are large amounts (of course there will always be some) of undetected cases.
Yeah, that generally applies to content-addressable systems like it (and torrents). An updated version of the page would have a new hash and a separate IPFS link.

To make a URL for content that can change, you would need to use a system that lets you create a mutable URL, and then you can make that point to an IPFS link. DNS works well for that. You can add a "_dnslink" TXT DNS record to a domain, and then when anyone with an IPFS-supporting browser (or browser add-on) accesses the domain, their browser can fetch the content over IPFS from anyone seeding it, and help seed it if the user wants. (Yes, this wouldn't work well at all for domains with dynamic content. Works great for domains that have static content, including sites made by static site generators, etc.)

I personally serve my blog with IPFS by making its files accessible over IPFS, putting a _dnslink TXT record on my domain pointing to the directory's current IPFS link, and then my domain's A record is pointing to a service (cloudflare-ipfs.com) that responds to HTTP requests by serving contents from the IPFS link that my _dnslink record points to. I'm using multiple free IPFS pinning services to keep my blog's files seeded on IPFS. I like that I'm not tied down to any of them, and I could easily replace them with other services or my own server without changing any of the rest of the setup. Additionally, anyone that liked my blog could help seed it themselves, so it could outlast the pinning services and me.

Assuming a world where IPFS was commonly-supported and my content was well-liked enough to get seeded by others, the only point of failure for keeping my site up is the domain name staying staying renewed and the DNS service I'm using staying up. Though if those went down, as long as someone still had the last IPFS link to my site, my site would still be accessible through that as long as people seeded it.

I believe the Ethereum Name Service would also be a good decentralized alternative to using DNS for keeping update-able URLs pointing to IPFS content, but I haven't personally used it and I don't know if there are good integrations that make it usable for that today. IPFS also has a feature called IPNS for creating mutable links to content that can be updated by whoever owns the private key, which sounds perfect on paper, but it doesn't work well in my experience for a few reasons (latency, timeouts, etc), so I wouldn't recommend it.
I tried with an 8 second video on Safari for iOS. Worked well for a somewhat complex video (moving video with animal + human in foreground, carpet and walls in background), with only minor artifacts. Quite impressive.
If you exclude hubei, in China, the fatality rate among confirmed cases is under 1%.

I expect this is due to the confluence of a few factors. Deaths happen faster than recoveries, more acute cases are easier to detect than the mild ones, except in places where they're proactively testing (China, Korea)

This is not the only encryption/communications technology company that has been compromised by national intelligence services.

I’m aware of another(potentially) where an employee credibly alleged it.

From the perspective of a national intelligence service, it is likely a far better return on investment to proactively catalogue compromised communications at root, rather than intercept and brute force it later.

Slow in what way? A computer from 15 years ago or old rasberry pi can run a node. What can't handle verifying one tiny block every 10 minutes while sending out data?

No it's not. Segwit introduced a new concept called block weight that's larger than 1MB, and in practice with normal transactions it gives around 1.4MB.
Part of the problem with RSS feeds is that they have to be found more often than not.

This is one of the few reasons I still use 'View Source' functionality in browsers.

Indeed, it's a difficult question. But we should rather be asking, why isn't there better cooperation to catch cyber-criminals across borders?
For performance context: nginx on a $5 DO droplet does 600 requests per second on static file.

Serving static files with Elixir/Phoenix has a performance of 300 requests per second.

Python+gunicorn serves about 100 requests per second of JSON from postgres data.
I just don't get why you would want to use a quantum computer to generate random numbers. Hardware-RNGs are cheap and have existed for decades. Your CPU probably has one built-in. Some even rely on quantum effects such as shot noise, but where is the advantage over using say thermal noise of a resistor? Both are completely unpredictable.
Yes, I understand that I will not be running Windows desktop, or doing anything remotely familiar on a QC. But factoring very large numbers very fast has been, for quite a while now, the sales pitch of the QC evangelists. One of the strongest use cases put forward, one that has gotten many a grad students a thesis, and many schools and labs a fat grant. But yet, my $1.50 microcontroller can do it in a few milliseconds, while a $10M, liquid nitrogen cooled monster is incapable of doing so. I don't see progress occurring.
I can't upvote this comment enough. The parent comment was so egregious in its misrepresentation of the study.
If there are 111 different mutations, does that mean that a common vaccine is highly improbable/impossible?
I learned by getting into conversations that forced me to speak the language. It's amazing how quickly you remember the basics if you don't want to look foolish or sound like an idiot.

Reading and listening use different types of memories so that's not enough to learn it. You have to actively recall to learn the language.

Also, keep in mind that there is no such thing as permanent fluency. You have to continue to practice it if you want to always be fluent. Even native speakers will lose their fluency in a language if they don't speak it. I've seen that a lot with kids that learned their parent's language at home but decide that the will only speak English once they start school. They eventually lose their fluency. They might understand their original language but will definitely have trouble speakng it.
Except, these companies are made up of a huge range of people. So, you’re not just trusting Intel but Mike, Mary, Bill, Bob, ... etc who don’t really care about you the way these companies in theory should.
Yeah, that's the one. I'd done my own analysis before that came out and figured it was an unacceptable risk, and then that article came out with the actual attack vector in all its glory. The simple fact the k8s/etcd ports are exposed on a public address with no ability to firewall it off is bad enough, as you're relying on the security of the software running on those ports rather than a firewall restricting which source address(es) can even connect to begin with.

The credentials (certificates) being exposed via http://169.254.169.254/metadata/v1/user-data – from within any pod/container, not just from a physical node – was the final straw. I'd forgotten that the DO token wasn't directly listed there, but can be extracted from the etcd instance where it is stored (explained under "DigitalOcean Account Takeover" of that article).

Again, all of this may have been (and hopefully has been) mitigated since the original release. For me, it's too late to reevaluate; the fact that was considered releasable in the first place destroyed any credibility in my eyes.
Yes. Do you have a study that shows that a mask that has not been fit tested either provides no protection or actually increases the overall risk to the wearer?

I have looked at a fair bit of research on masks lately, and everything I've seen is that they are significantly protective, and, for example, reduce your risk of catching SARS by about 70%.

Yes, if a mask doesn't fit properly, some air will come through the sides. Even in that case though, the mask is still filtering some air, and it's protecting you from touching your mouth or nose, and it's protecting you from droplets hitting your mouth or nose from being coughed or sneezed on.

Granted, Java was one of the first programming languages I seriously learned (in university no less). The camelCase syntax became somewhat of a second nature to me, and indeed, I even internalized the idea that it simply looked better that way. I understand that syntax preferences and capitalization are mostly just preference, but are there strong arguments against the use of camelCase, or rather, in favor of something different?
Maybe less frustrating than a site that works, and then doesn't. Like a checkout path with a hard dependency near the end.
The main argument I, and I believe the OP, was making is because the period of these programs are limited, and not even the full period is guaranteed as this shows, it affects how people act. If it's a program I believe I can count on existing for 10-20 years I can make significant life changes around receiving the money, eg move somewhere super cheap and volunteer or something, but at just a few I know I'm going to have to go back to normal at the end so making those big changes is harder.

When It Comes to Exercise, 'All Movement Counts'
Im sorry that sucks, but we should not give up rights because some customers are easily fooled. This is a slippery slope you do not want to start on, because where does it end?
If there's a combination, it's very obvious. To use my personal example again, the domain was autostempest.com, and they had copied our logo directly, and created a car listings site. It would be trivial to see that we were using the name and logo first.

Going to court just wasn't an option. For one thing, we couldn't even identify the people behind these sites without first going to court against namecheap. And after all that effort and expense, it's entirely possible they'd registered the domain with fake info and the effort would have been wasted. Even the UDRP option was not cost effective, because nothing would stop the scammers from opening a new fake domain. What we eventually did that worked was found a "CSIRT" company that would use its private connections to hosting providers to, for a fee, get offending content taken down. So, that's the kind of thing the status quo is incentivizing. Hardly better than if there was a takedown process available through namecheap it seems.

That said, you'd certainly want to avoid the situation with Youtube, where the power is swung all the way in the other direction, so creators have almost no recourse when purported rights holders issue a claim.

Weird, maybe it's a Firefox issue, though I'd hate for that to be the case. Did you try any videos in a portrait aspect ratio?
For me, I feel like it is highly dependent upon what I’m working on at the time. Some projects are motivating and 40 hours a weeks isn’t enough—I want to work more than that. Other times I work ~40 but a lot of it is wasted by by working inefficiently (when the drive to work on the project isn’t high enough to outweigh fatigue)

Firstly - call out to Dave Winer - his work on outliners and RSS have both proven incredible useful, influential and long lasting.

Is RSS dead? No not by a long shot. Is it as visible as it was in bloggings early days nearly 20 years ago when the spec had been written (2002) and the orange logo was displayed on websites - certainly not.

I think the question needs context - Are you aiming to use it to syndicate content and expect an audience boost because your using RSS- then unlikely - but thats more to do with the state of blogging and syndication in general versus alternative publishing platforms such as facebook and medium.

Are you looking to use it for a syndication standard to base an implementation on for an app or tooling? If the later then you will find RSS has proven itself a rather nice spec that is utterly boring and stable - which is exactly what you want. It is not sexy, nor is it fashionable but it can be foundational - you can build on it and it does what the spec says. No one is likely to applaud your choice - its an old format but a goodie and if you coose to build on it for what its designed for then your likely to get the job done. If you dont like XML and prefer JSON - Manton Reece and Brent Simmons' JSONFeed also does a great job.

Many schools of economics teach that the proper place for the government to step in is when something serves the public good but has a low chance for profit. Public transportation, libraries, schools, roads, parks. These wouldn’t be profitable ventures for a commercial operator, but the public needs these things. So the government provides.
As a former hang glider pilot, I agree. One of the downsides to turning parallel the ridge, too soon, is that the wind closer to the ridge is slower, while that away from the ridge is faster. This can lead to a tendency for a glider of 13-15 m wingspans to tend to 'turn into the hill'.
