They currently go out of their way to remove microarchitectural side channels. Yes, there's almost certainly others, but it's pretty clear that the end goal is to allow non root creation of bpf programs.
You need to also consider knives, rope, large bodies of water, tall structures, etc. They all can be used for suicide.

If you want perfect safety from suicidal tendencies, consider going under a 24/7 watch and having your hands tied. For some extremely severe cases, this may be warranted.

But there's no reason to subject the rest of the population to the same measures.
Can somebody explain why anyone should use DDG instead of Google when they are both free and ad funded?

I just issued my last Google query (some Mac OS troubleshooting) and the results were not even close. I understand that they try to differentiate by claiming they don't store previous queries and are stateless and not personalized in a sense which is a bug IMHO not a feature. Yet they sell it as privacy.

If one doesn't like their search queries stored remotely the real private solution is for the search engine to run locally which sounds technically hard/infeasible or some differential privacy magic to obscure individual queries (I'm not sure how exactly) but DDG doesn't seem to have any benefit over Google in a meaningful way.

That said, extra competition is always good for consumers
BPF isn't turning complete in very interesting ways that allows it to still be fairly general (but obviously not completely general).
> There's not enough masks for everyone and there won't be any time (very) soon, plain and simple.

Actually, the high prices on eBay should incentivize mask makers to produce more for the general public.

In a pandemic panic scenario the perceived value of an individual mask increases. This is where capitalism should shine
Not sure I'd just paint the US with that brush.

To be precise, the COVID-19 virus is not “viral pneumonia”. Viral pneumonia is a symptom (pneumonia caused by a virus) which results from COVID-19 in the minority of cases.

Studies of the number of known cases which resulted in viral pneumonia find, for example;

“A total of 81% of cases in the JAMA study were classified as mild, meaning they did not result in pneumonia or resulted in only mild pneumonia.”

That is not to say that 20% of all cases are severe, but 20% of the cases in that study were.

There are several cancer (lymphomas) that were literal death sentences a decade or two ago, but how have a very high cure rate.

It's not fair to say we don't develop cancer drugs because some, very difficult to treat cancers, haven't seen as much progress as others.

It is difficult to create a synopsis for this because it’s a lot of things..little little things that mushroomed and eventually caused the group to implode. There are other things that happened and I can’t talk about it.

But I will say this...the biggest cleft occurred after 9/11. It was a very bad time for the group to be cohesive. Looking back, it’s rather remarkable. I actually want to write about it some day because it was a pressurized emotional highly volatile environment where seemingly like minded people couldn’t stand each other’s POV anymore.

The group was around for a decade plus after that..but weaker. The ‘virus’ came from how thoughts are like virii and can infect people. And every member of the congregation can be a vector for rational thought. We’d spend hours discussing (remember BBS and Dalnet/IRC?) how religion was a virus and only rational atheistic thought could vaccinate people against the virus of god. Darwin was our prophet. Evolution explained life. We celebrated his birthday. Man..those were some good times.

Of course, even then no one got along..but we were all still arguing with ‘one of us’. But 911 changed everything.

That’s when it dawned upon many of us..the most dangerous virus is not religion..but politics. What bound us was not as strong as what divides us.

It was just sad after that. Slow agonizing ugly death of something that could have been beautiful.

I was very young then..in the two plus decades since, I have changed too. I stopped calling myself atheist and became agnostic for a while. Then I called myself ignostic and until recently didn’t care. As I get older, I feel I am ready to explore and am willing to test if faith is more nuanced than ‘organised religion’.

I don’t know. I guess we are always looking for answers. And when we are not, we invent questions to look for answers.

To your point, I disagree..congregations need to be large. We were trying to replicate how a virus works by spreading rational thoughts memes and the more people we infected with our thought memes, the more successful we were going to be in promoting the virian ideal and virtue of pure rational thought.
Oops. Sorry for confusion, I'll covey this confusion to our design team.

>If supply is limited masks should not be "randomly" distributed, but distributing based on who can afford them is probably not any better than random in an epidemiological sense.

This appears to be a shifting of the goal posts. Your original comment remarked about how "Increasing prices on preventative medicine/devices is a great way to make sure fewer people use them", however now you seem to advocate for central allocation of medical resources. If the government is in charge of allocating resources, prices would be a moot point.
Indeed. I feel like I read about these micro-structures creating hydrophobic surfaces YEARS ago. Perhaps they just found a way to efficiently create them?
I wasn't using the word "artificial" in a negative sense; I was pointing out that this is a narrow example of socialized healthcare and why it's beneficial.
Actually not mirrored, just duplicated and joined at the concrete face. Mirrored would rotate in the same direction. Then it’ll “create two universe worth of energy” at the center of it.
Perhaps what's "rational" in a purely economic sense isn't whats best for the nation or for society. In an economic sense, you could make an argument that slavery is "rational" as far as profits for slaveholders are concerned, but we don't allow slavery because its wrong and immoral despite the potential economic benefits to certain vested interests. Similarly, perhaps its time that we as a society reevaluated our reliance on health care delivery systems that base their agenda on outcomes that are economically profitable for them, rather than what is desirable for our society as a whole.
I'm absolutely not accusing you of anything whatsoever.

I wrote out this long reply answering all of your questions and felt weird about it and wondered why and didn't post it. Then I decided to try to use this as an example of exactly what I'm talking about.

Thank you for talking with me. I'm running a fever today, so I no doubt could have said something better than I did.

Edit:

In fact, I'm mixing up two discussions, because I talked about the private-public divide to someone else. So I apologize for the disconnect there.

I am an experienced user and avid customer of Netlify. Netlify is amazing for small sites, blogs and what not. But as you go up in traffic, that's when you start to realize how over-priced their charges are, atleast for bandwidth. I'm not saying they're bad, they still need to get back all the money they lose on their free users. But for enterprise customers, it's really bad.

I'll give you an example - My client has a high traffic website with over 300TB of bandwidth which is being served via cloudflare on a $20/mo plan (probably free plan also works well I guess).

Migrating this to Netlify would cost us roughly $6000 per month. (Netlify charges $20/1000GB). To me that's insane if you really want to adopt JAMstack.

For 6 grand, I can host an elaborate GCP setup with load balancers on compute engine. Or I can have a dozen instances on AppEngine all automatically handling my load for me. What am I missing?

This is not to say I don't like static sites - it's a different thing. I am 100% proponent of static sites, maybe just not Netlify.
I thought the "party line" was that private industry doesn't accomplish much if anything, so isn't "big pharma" irrelevant? It makes more sense to demand higher taxes and more basic research.

It comes down to the fact that the US is not testing enough people to make ANY sort of assessment, other than that COVID-19 exists here. In South Korea, they have tested enough of their population to make reasonable, even statistically accurate extrapolations. In the US, we may as well not be testing. It does no good at the rate we are doing it. The CDC done fucked up with their initial testing policy, which was likely chosen because they knew that the number of testing kits would bottleneck them to only testing world travellers. This was likely caused by a lack of funding and infrastructure (staff), which is quite clearly caused by our president deciding to fire the people who know how to handle pandemics.
I agree with that. absolutely. all of it

You're asking us to be better people, which is a good thing to ask, it should be the goal of our civilisation to be even better people that those who got us here and to leave behind better people that we were.

our failure to be
>> kinder to each other

is part individual selfishness, and partly that we're not brave enough to trust each other,
because we know that we do too little collectively to protect each other against the fraction of people who would exploit our kindness.

So we're buying toilet paper, getting ready to hunker down and hide.

We could fix this virus in two months with discipline and cooperation,
and make a start on your list too.

The fear of this virus, in relation to the threat is way off the plot compared to our our response to those other dangers. But I am frightened by it and other people seem to be too. I have a whole bunch of incomplete thoughts about maybe i / we can can use that fear constructively, and treat the next two months as a short course on how to recognise when I am acting in a way that is following patterns and norms, when there are other better choices
One of my early networks was that kind. It is 10T. Roughly a megabyte per second.

What a doofus! I made a few rookie mistakes, but none that basic and painful.

Yeah, some things don't change. I have come to realize that is because people pretty much work the same way. Context changes, but the core doesn't.

I remember a paper decades ago now about a way to reduce RPC call round-tripping by sending something akin to promises back and forth, so you could pass the result of one remote call to another one without transferring it across the network. Kinda think something similar might be useful here.

What typically ends up happening in “services” (or any distributed system) is that you start creating convenience APIs to speed things up that are mostly just combinations of other calls, and you stay with the ones that seem like they might be the most useful, so you don’t slam into combinatorics face first.

Given the amount of talk I’ve heard about system call overhead lately, it sounds like the magnitude of the delays is creeping up again (especially post-Meltdown).

I think it can also be argued that prosthetics will keep on getting better. Although i wonder when they will overtake natural limbs in dexterity or compensate it with other features.
This is why the post is a red-herring. You cannot use storage if you cannot get to it. Talking about the price of disk space/mth is absolutely useless without talking about the bandwidth required to use it, which means, if you want to go big-boys-math, 95% bandwidth and peering agreement pricing. That $1.50 with all the network chatter between hosts for replication/repair/etc., not to mention actually _downloading_ of the data from the Sia network will take that $1.50/TB/mth to $70/TB/mth.

Talking about the disk-space pricing is, IMO, disingenuous. Talk about the math for an all-in use-case of the service. I appreciate what the OP is going for, however, hand-waving around uncomfortable critical items like bandwidth cost for the Sia network is not a good look.

Same for Australia. I use DDG exclusively on all devices for a few years now, and overall it works great for me. I probably use !g once or twice a month, if that.

But..

Even though I have the Australia button turned on, it doesn’t seem to do anything. So every time I need something local, I add “site:.au” to the end of the query then it works great again.

As a venture capitalist, I am mostly with you on the big picture idea of how to view "everybody else's interest in capitalism functioning" here. But I will quibble with the term "profit."

I would say "driving rents to zero." There's a well understood notion of earning an accounting profit, and an economic profit, even under perfect competition.

It's "rents" that perfect competition and market "efficiency" can arb away.

This is the thing, middle class people have been spoiled to spend $$$ in entertainment, useless gadgets and 65" TVs where they could just entertain themselves with frugal means - there are many! Go hike. Play chess and board games.

If you don't have disability, and have good physical and mental health, and are earning a middle class wage - you can become wealthy by saving and investing wisely.

eBPF isn't fundamentally unsafe (and, in particular, it's not Turing-complete, precisely because it's guaranteed that all eBPF programs terminate). It's just very ambitious and it exposes too much attack surface for people to feel comfortable making it available to unprivileged users.

However, we do have a similar system exposed to unprivileged users - classic BPF. You could imagine writing classic BPF programs to chain multiple system calls with just one context switch.
There isn't a reasonable thing to do. Why would you think there has to be?

People want masks, there's not enough of them for everyone.
This viewpoint seems very common among programmers, for some reason. I don't often hear it in other fields. The point of employing someone with a particular skill is that they know that skill, and can demonstrate that they know it. Otherwise, you don't know they'll be able to apply it when needed. Hiring for skills is pointless if you believe any person can pick up any skill sufficiently well on the fly.

In many cases, if you lack a skill (mathematical or otherwise), you won't know it's possible, so you won't know to learn it on demand. It's not a tool in your toolbox, so you won't approach a problem knowing it's a feasible strategy.

This is why it's so hard to talk to non-programmers about programming. They lack the foundation to know what's easy or hard. I've had managers try to assign me unsolved problems in the field, and sat in meetings where I was told we didn't have the time to fix a bug which could have been fixed in less time than holding that meeting.
If end to end encryption became the norm, people would die as a result. Children would be raped, radical groups would spread, etc.

It’s still a good thing. But let’s not pretend there’s no cost.

Freedoms have a price, and that price is often the inability of the state to protect us from malevolent members of society.

That true for guns, and it’s true for encryption.

There’s shared ground between the NRA and EFF.

Because they aren't the same kind of "thing". Data isn't manifested in physical space in the same way as "my house" is.

For one, my home is in one physical place. A bad actor needs to at least get to me, to... you know, get to me. With my data, if it's open to be seen, it's open to people in China, Russia, and on the moon as well. It's not limited to my government.

Second: When the police are given a warrant to my house, I can be there, and I can observe that only actual police officers are entering my home. Data doesn't have any kind of global logging and auditing system like that. Any particular system may or may not log or audit access, but it's not a sure thing. Once it's accessible, once again, I have no way of knowing who actually accessed it.

Third: As WiseWeasel mentioned, I would argue that in the modern world, having access to my data isn't like having access to my home. It's like having access to my mind. My phone knows everything: My intimate conversations with my wife, where I go shopping, what I buy, what my political opinions are, every single photo I've taken in the last 10 years (Which in large part means: Knowing every single place I've been in the last 10 years), my financial transactions, and much more.

If the cops cannot get a search warrant to forcibly read my mind, I don't think it's reasonable they should be able to see my data either.

Fourth: It encroaches on the privacy of others. Generally speaking a warrant for my stuff, is because I am suspected of things. My neighbor isn't also searched because they happen to be near me. But plenty of the data in my life (Especially in the context of conversations) isn't just my data, it's the data of my conversation partner too. Who is now having their data investigated, without knowing it at all (And depending on where they are from, do the local cops in my own even have jurisdiction over the data of my friend in Europe?).

I could go on, but I think I've made my point: Data is not "a thing", it's an entirely different plane of existence. And we need lawmakers that understand that, and are ready to tackle the real challenges that it undoubtedly is, to write reasonable legislature about data.

What we currently have, is a bunch of people trying to fit this new square data peg, into their existing round hole legislature.

Slavery, really? Besides, totally beside the point. The argument for rationality isn't that if we exclude the people who experience downside, maybe it's a net positive (always true by tautology), but rather that maybe even counting the people who experience the downsides it's still rational. The novel coronavirus is likely to end the lives of a lot of elderly people, but the majority of elderly people are going to have their lives ended by cancer or heart disease. Perhaps, even with the threat of pathogens like the novel coronavirus lurking to strike, it still makes sense to put most of our resources toward researching cancer and heart disease.
Testicular cancer is now very treatable, but before Cisplatin, the prognosis was pretty grim. I guess to grandparent's comment, we absolutely do develop chemotherapy drugs, and many don't just buy you six months, they're life-saving.
