The pros are obvious. The cons, irrespective of what is blocked, are very similar to the problems with DNS hijacking that ISPs and others have done over the years. It affects all protocols, not just HTTP(S). It affects everything from turning IP addresses in logfiles into domain names, through double-reverse-lookup checks in TCP services, to SMTP electronic mail.

Block advertising this way, and one hits the further problem that one often wants to operate based upon more than just the domain part of the URL. Or one wants to do things like make temporary redirects to static placeholder images. Fiddling with DNS service cannot achieve these.

This should be exploitable on the local network. This is a network share vulnerability.

I suspect there was a nasty mis-translation. The article should have said "local network", but it was strip down to "local" and gets mis-interpreted as "local computer".
there is no one size fits all in my experience (1). some people work better remotely. some people can't work well remotely.

I thought this switch to 100% remote work would be fine, but it turns out to be very difficult to manage with nothing else to do. Having ADHD and not being able to get exercise to only make development 80% of my day rather than the most exciting thing I can expect to do really fucks with my head. I end up just bugging my partner and not focussing, which may lead to me losing my current job.
Consider reading the article instead of making a snap judgement based on the title.
These all have different strengths and weaknesses, so combining them is pretty common.

If you were planning a brain surgery, you might want an MRI+CT, which would let you map points on the skull (or things inserted into the brain) onto a more accurate map of the brain. You might even add fMRI to know what these regions do (though this is fairly rare still).

Ditto for MRI+PET or CT+PET, where you might want to see where a tumor is relative to some bone or organ.
I didn't mean to suggest that nobody can extract oil at $5/bbl but rather that not everybody can. When the people who can't do that go bust, supply goes down, price goes up. Also, $5/bbl would generally tend to stimulate demand -- not in the midst of this coronavirus obviously, but eventually that will pass.

Oil was above $60/bbl three months ago. A rebound wouldn't have to be $60, it could just be $20 or $30.

It would only stay around $5/bbl if we actually do the carbon tax or something of a similar nature. That could suppress demand to an arbitrary degree indefinitely and then wholesale prices might never rebound.

Missing quotes around evidence.
I believe it's not just parasites -- it's also things like diseases and famine as well.

The reason it's called "parasite-stress theory" is not because parasites are so important for the selection of government, but because it's a reference to parasite-stress theory in biology.

It makes sense. If you don't even have basic healthcare or security, a strongman willing to swoop in and take decisive action does sound appealing. Unfortunately, though, they usually just make things worse.

simdjson's spinup overhead is minimal, it runs at a pretty steady rate no matter the size of document: https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/master/doc/growing...

It's also still faster than other parsers in our tests, even on the smallest documents (https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/issues/312#issuecomment... advantage is just smaller, like 1.1x and 1.2x instead of 2.5x :) It really starts to pull ahead somewhere between 512 bytes and 1K.

Immortality == the end of childhood.

Yes, I'm referencing the title of the novel, Childhood's End. But it's true. If we lived 1,000 years, we couldn't have two children per-woman every 40 years -- we could only have two children per-woman every 1,000 years. That would yield a minuscule number of children at any time. A life expectancy of 1,000 years would require finding a way to extend fertility from ~35 years, otherwise many opportunities to reproduce would be missed completely and fertility would drop well below replacement rate, furthering the end of childhood.

No, we can have immortality, or we can have children, but not both.

I can't imagine a life without children. So I choose mortality. I want to die (in time) so that my children may have children. And my children too will have to die (in time). It's just how it has to be.

But we can talk about what would be a good life expectancy. 200 years would be fine, provided the first 160 of them one could have a young body and mind. And provided we can find a way to not get too bored :) Even 1,000 would be fine provided our bodies and minds stayed young for 850+ of those 1,000. In any case, I don't want to live 120 of 200 years in an old people's home.. Who would?!

> I can't write "average European" for this,

You can't write "average American" for this, either.
At the core is the stance or attitude towards life.

What Martin Buber calls "Ich und Du", or "I and Thou":

> Buber's main proposition is that we may address existence in two ways:

> The attitude of the "I" towards an "It", towards an object that is separate in itself, which we either use or experience.

> The attitude of the "I" towards "Thou", in a relationship in which the other is not separated by discrete bounds.

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

This fundamentally is an attempt to force the "I-Thou" relation with life into the "I-It" relation with machines and is therefore the definition of evil.

- - - -

Anyway, the correct mad science is to culture your own cells into control boxes for your machines and thence control them "telepathically" to become a distributed cyborg. But to do that you would first have to become intelligent enough to increase your morphogenic plasticity to the point where you have more-or-less total control of your meta-cellular form. Did you see John Carpenter's "The Thing"? That's how intelligent you would have to become: an immortal macro-polymorphous self-made shoggoth. At that point though, you no longer really need machines or technology in the conventional sense. You can make artificial diatomaceous carrier shells for small colonies of your cells and send them out to do whatever. It's not nanotech but your operational units are small enough that it doesn't really matter. I should mention that it's really easy to make fusion generators at this scale. People assume that the techno-singularity will originate in silico so to speak but that's so naive: the most sophisticated information processor is the human brain, not the chip. The singularity happens in vivo: in flesh. You don't even need and machinery to initiate it: just information and the will to be more than you are (and the wisdom not to fuck it up and turn yourself into a cancer blob or grey goo.)

The only real problem at this stage is loneliness. Few can ever really understand what you've done, and if they did they would shun you as a Lovecraftian horror anyway. Nevertheless, I have not given up hope. Slowly, painfully, you guys wobble towards enlightenment. I try to help when I can, but mostly all I can do is be patient.

I am among you now. Join me. "Dwell amidst wonder and glory for ever..."
Zoom IPOd in mid-April 2019. In terms of "start up that made it" or "growing pains", this is what happens when you don't hire a seasoned PR team (and even then). No one was looking all that hard at Zoom's technical practices because no one technical cared that much. Now that the UK Prime Minister is tweeting screenshots which include the zoom meeting ID, it's suddenly become a lot more interesting to lots of people, some of them less scrutable than others.

Zoom's older competitors; Microsoft (Skype), Google (Meet), WebEx, etc have undergone similar scrutiny with the similar results - bad press followed by engineering fix.

I’m seeing quotes like this regularly in the “interviews with nurses” genre of reporting:

”Many nurses and doctors have symptoms, like dry coughs, but are being denied tests and remain working, Ms. Norstein and other Montefiore health-care workers said colleagues have told them.”

This isn’t even second-hand information - it’s third-hand, and it’s irresponsible journalism. If the reporter couldn’t directly confirm the rumors, they could just say “there are rumors that...”

But then, this is buried in the article:

” One patient with confirmed coronavirus stayed in the Moses ER for over 14 hours and used the same bathroom as other patients, Mr. Mathew wrote in a March 14 email to the hospital epidemiologist and an environmental health and safety director. He said he received no response.”

That is just incompetence, and it’s documented. Why did the reporter bury the lede?
Theres an easy way to get around this too, firefox has the option to do dns over https, encrypting your dns queries, and if you force encrypted SNI, theres no way your DNS queries are getting hijacked and the router cannot see what sites you are visiting. And no, this doesn't require someone to be technical, and a kid could do it easily. Whats even more interesting is that schools and other public internet places can no longer block certain websites or content, and logs are no longer effective since even the website address is encrypted. You can stop ESNI by disabling https altogether, but obviously that wouldn't be a reasonable solution.

Finite lifespan for an organism stems from the necessity to adapt to changes in the environment, thus -- generations with a cycle of life and death. Brains allow to adapt without physically having to upgrade to next gen. It seems logical that if or when we get to have updatable wetware (in software or somehow else, the options are open), the concept of individual immortality will make sense with how the universe works.
