I think I kind of wish there were fines for this kind of issue. I know all software has bugs and I certainly wouldn't want to be on the hook for my free software but I don't charge for free software.

IANAL but I seems like for many non-software products there would be legal repercussions of they caused damage or had other issues. Is there any reasonable way to apply or morph those kinds of laws to software? Ideally it seems like it would be nice if the incentives changed so running all these services in the background is too big a legal risk and they stop?
My first thought is this puts way too much stock in the idea that rooms are safe as long as they aren't too packed. To me it seems like this 1.5m rule and person limits aren't actually backed up by real research and are just numbers pulled out of a hat when something had to be done fast.

We shouldn't be finding ways to get people back in to shared buildings as soon as possible because infections don't just give up because the TV on the door said OK.
The US President lies on a daily basis.

And the previous president had already got the Europeans to commit to meeting their obligations over a period of a certain number of years which they were moving towards. Trumps nonsense achieved nothing other than making the Europeans and the rest of the world recognize that the US has become deeply unreliable and move further towards China.
The TDA, biggest art student competition in Europe, was scheduled in Barcelona in April. Because of COVID-19 it was impossible for the few thousands students to meet there. So I made a mobile app to host the competition online, which replicated all the rules of the traditional contest. It got around 2000 signups during the week of the contest and made the competition possible remotely. I decided to keep it live and run new contests for artists everywhere in the world during lockdown. You can check it out and vote for your favorite artists, or join the contest yourself, there : https://greatest.app.link.
I read that in the mid 90s I think and don't remember it very well. But that's not because it isn't memorable. It's just because it was a long time ago.

I had a lot more time for books back then. There was no YouTube.

I wish we didn't have to wait until next year for the Cybertruck.

Question. What genre came after cyberpunk? Are there any innovative science fiction authors in 2020?
I wonder why they left out the single "DNS:*". Is that not valid?
No one else is mentioning Anathem, so I'll plug it here. It's a glacially paced math-fiction book that gets pretty good around page 800 or so. I enjoyed it, but can definitely see why others wouldn't. In any case, I read it years ago, but IIRC it does eventually more or less deliver on the 30,000 foot view.
Making solar panels require massive amount of energy. If built in China, these panels are made with electricity from coal. They don't have a great C02 budget.
Yeap, the opposite of all the IoT solutions. This can be again an optional feature, preferred for security
Ok thanks, one more question, for the curious.. whenever I've seen people use these lamps, they are pointing them to their face (maybe because of winter mood/blues etc.).

Would these lamps be more effective if they pointed the lamps towards exposed arms/legs (greater surface area)?
https://istqb-glossary.page - I got frustrated with the official ISTQB glossary page, so I made my own. Scraped their data via (terrible, terrible) search API, published it all as a hugo page. Nothing spectacular, but it serves a purpose. You can link to a specific term with relative ease, see available translations and synonyms, and if I come around to adding extra content (like youtube videos or articles explaining concept - see https://istqb-glossary.page/boundary-value-analysis/), then the page will morph into place for learning more about testing concepts - the glossary itself might be a little... dry.

All contributions are welcome, however we're working 2 fulltime jobs and care for a 3 yo in lockdown, so time to work on this project is a luxury.
Ah okay that makes sense. I honestly get kind of annoyed when I buy things that aren't labelled as backorders and then get told that even though I paid, they don't have stock. I'm not sure if the OP labels them as such or not

Thanks for pointing out that missed detail on my part.
Reminds me of the time google mined my search data in order to redirect me to their recruiting pages, but instead of abusing my data in unforeseeable ways, these guys only require that you are able to switch to the network tab of your browser. Pretty neat.
Thanks for the kind words! I am in a much better place now and apart from some long term effects such as general trust issues with people, I am mostly fine now.

Thank you!

While that may be true, I'd really like a better source than a channel which otherwise deals with "supplements that lengthen telomeres" or the age-old sauna-detox myth.
We have been WFH for over 2 months so I think it should be somewhat representative. Although "WFH during a pandemic" is never going to be a truly representative time for this survey.
Europe is already using something like 90% of our hydro electricity potential.
So far, countries either:
- added renewable energies on top of existing fossil fuel based power generation (gas, coal)
- added renewable energies and replaced coal with gas (US for instance)

Things are going back to how things were in March 2020 very quickly [1] [2]

As an aside, I’ve stopped being surprised with how out of touch and in a bubble HN posts are. There’s so much understanding of human nature out there that is missing here.

Not OP but I think they are talking about Diamond Age. It's set in futuristic Victorian society.
Counterpoint: If the PRC takes over now, they own the process technology NVIDIA and AMD depend on. They can tell the Americans to go pound sand, good luck on your next supercomputer project, and dedicate all production to Chinese origin designs - with a helping of industrial espionage for a kick start.

This should terrify the US, which is the ideal. The US needs to go to bat for Taiwan, which won't happen when they have less incentive to.

China is willing to take independent countries for lesser and pettier reasons than semiconductors. Look what they've done to Hong Kong. Taiwan's been a thorn in its side for years. Distribute it around, China will still want to take Taiwan, the US has less of a reason to go to bat for it.
Why are you asking unrelated questions then? The goal is not to motivate you to use it, especially not you who seem to be uninterested in both the goals and the ways the team has proposed. On the other hand I like the direction - but I am not going to use it on a daily basis either, maybe in a few years.
You should collaborate with https://skribbl.io/ -- they probably have the largest scribbling dataset in the world, and have it labelled correctly + "how many % people do actually recognize this THING as what it is meant to be, as drawn by another being?" It's hard to think of any better dataset.
I use port knocking as an emergency backup measure on my bastion host (OpenBSD w/pf). The regular sshd runs on a non standard port with key authentication only. The backup sshd needs to be knocked and allows password authentication. I only use it in emergencies when I don't have my key handy.

I have used it in the past and has saved me a few times. This is only on the bastion.
Another study from Switzerland:

Could someone point to a contest where an attacker has managed to bypass port knocking. Surely someone has tested its effectiveness at creating more work for attackers.

How can anyone measure the effectiveness of the advice given by a security consultant? It saved a client from disasters that did not happen? How can anyone prove that such disasters would have happened? Answer: Proof of concept.

To question the effectiveness of port knocking, one needs some real stories of real disasters where port knocking was being relied on. Proof of concept. Otherwise all the discussion is still just speculation.
I've done .example.com and .dev.example.com but I'm not sure if you mean that or .

Enabling security research and hunting with open source IoT attack data
At the phrase “societal coming of age” I balked, but I guess the second half is putting the question “which society”, or rather which kind of society can inherit (that is, accept responsibility for) such knowledge? The grossest contrast is between the secular and mathic societies; but the remarkably well recreated dialectic between the Platonists and Sophists in the dinner conversation between the Incanters and Rhetors in the last Lucub... converging on Husserl and phenomenology...! that was golden (one of a few nuggets).

Still I think the question of which society can “come of age” and inherit the world in its full, weird, complexity, is drawn back to the relationship between Orolo and Raz, because that is where the real spark of inspiration (and sacrifice, and fraternity) flies, and, improbably, catches fire.

The Kong’s conclusion wasn’t causal with any statistical certainty (which is what the above is arguing). It was anecdotal.

Maybe the poison doesn’t work for carriers of certain genes. Maybe it’s temperature reactive. Maybe it’ll take weeks to kill.

Just because the King observes something do not make his causal conclusions from that observation valid. Adequate sample-sized statistics aim to bridge that gap.
Ask HN: Where would the original bitcoin discussion take place in 2020?
While reading the original email thread in which Satoshi introduced Bitcoin [1], I was struck by how few people responded, and how long it took them to respond. It was 2008, and the conversation took place on an email thread. Were this conversation to occur today, where would it take place? The same email list? A subreddit? HN itself?

Trying to recall where I first seen this being done, it was definitely a long time ago, perhaps Google?

Seems slightly less effective nowadays what with the standard browsers tools available, ctrl + shift + K

Not that using telnet, curl or some such was much of a higher barrier, just you had to go out of your way to use them.
This surreal, and this is a bombshell. TSMC is to build a second 5nm plant outside of their strategic roadmap, and has to get money for it out of the blue.

How will it work out with their investors, only god knows.

And this has ultimately to pass by Taiwanese government, if it didn't already.
They have some form of that already as it is, but I'm not 100% sure how it works. Some comment replies have the first few replies and then it shows a 'Show 43 more comments' button to expand that depth level, but some comments go 3,4,5 levels deep.

Maybe if it was more predictable and shallower it would be good, the problem is its annoying to keep clicking show replies to load more levels

Getting enough sun at some places or latitudes is almost impossible during the summer unless you work outside during the breaf period of time there actually is light outside. It's also cold.
It would make a lot more sense than UBI if the US would chip in part of the salary, ie (cost of American worker - cost of Taiwanese worker), so that this sort of factory would no longer be disincentivized just because of the cost of American labor.
Thanks. I will look into it. And let’s just say I’m not too proud of the test coverage :)
This feels a bit like they just took an existing Intel design and tried to adapt it for AMD. Nothing wrong with that per se - by all accounts it's a good solid board - but it leads to weird choices like not using 56 of 64 PCIe lanes on the second CPU.
majority of BMC solutions default to VGA connection, and any good one will have a serial port - either DE-9 or RJ style.

It's much, much easier to standardize on VGA-based iKVMs than otherwise, and this drives the "let's use VGA" movement.

(Only real difference would be switching to DisplayPort, and this doesn't bring any benefits either...)
That's just English. In my language directions are named from where the sun is at given time, so it wouldn't change.

East is "sunrise", south is "midday", west is "sunset" and north is "midnight". Context and grammatical case differentiate between midnight as time vs midnight as direction.

True, although Crimea was pretty much testcase-scale - not many people live there, and its economic value is pretty low. Taiwan is much much more populous, and has a much higher economic value.
yeah, my perception is that there's a lot of companies trying to target the feeling of "outgrowing" your ikea furniture with their marketing, but aren't really selling anything better than ikea. it's just the same cheap crap, but with a different brand so you can say you didn't get it at ikea.

The capital requirements for the creation of a modern high-speed semiconductor fabrication facility, and the corresponding integrated circuit design make ‘open hardware’, or large number of interchangeable competitors unlikely.

How and why should software be decoupled from hardware when there are so few hardware suppliers?

I stumbled across "we hire" messages across Paypal, Techcrunch, and dozen of other websites, even no-name startups. You can find them in headers, CSS, HTML, JS and all over different places.

The thing is: the message neither changes the recruiting process nor company values, so it does not matter if you come from X-Header or company/careers. This cryptic message thing will only get you "oh cool" reply from recruiters. If you are a good engineer you'll be hired no matter of these messages, if you don't fit the company because of who knows why - you'll not get there anyway.

Engineers, thank you for giving me a bit of hope or fun ¯\(°_o)/¯
Microservices: “We solved DLL hell by wrapping every binary with HTTP”
Sure, and my breadth of reading of and connection with Stephenson‘s work, especially considering his popularity, are such that I wouldn’t claim anything like authority on the matter. Just offering another view in case anyone’s in here looking for reading advice or recommendations, for which I think I have just enough experience and perspective to offer something that might help someone, at least so far as defending Cryptonomicon as, to the right reader, a highlight among Stephenson’s books, and maybe not just for crypto nerds (I wouldn’t count myself as one). Lots and lots of people really like the three of his books that struck me as so-so to poor, so plenty of folks surely think I’m wrong there.

Snow Crash could definitely make a good series. Of the three I’ve read but didn’t like much, I’d say it’s the one I’d be most likely to enjoy as a show even if it barely deviated from the book, in fact. Hell, it has a better shot in that format than Cryptonomicon would. And anyway, Cryptonomicon’s more speculative elements are probably not aging very well since I read it—too much of it’s become ordinary and mundane.
I don't know if there is one besides just Wikipedia.
Yeah that's the problem I had too.
It'd be nice if there's an interpreted and a compiled way of running. Preferrably with hotcode swap
By contrast, China is the US' third largest trading partner (after Canada and Mexico) at 10% of US trade. Taiwan is much more intertwined with China economically. Which makes sense given the geographic proximity and linguistic and cultural ties.
A perfect "be sure to drink your Ovaltine" moment! If anyone is unfamiliar, it refers to the movie "A Christmas Story". The moment here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdA__2tKoIU

I first saw that movie a only a couple years ago and quickly realized how many pop culture references come from it. It does such a good job of capturing a period of time in North America. Even before I saw the movie, eating out at a Chinese restaurant was a thing for me and my family. I had no idea it may have been related! Also... one day I'll own that lamp.
> I have read the book: it explicitly and thoroughly debunks the idea that race was a factor in the development of modern societies. It provides a myriad of geographical and climate-based explanations why the course of history would result societies in the northern hemisphere set the direction of clocks for the globe.

Given that ethnic differences develop alongside migrations into new territories, you'd expect them to be formed by those geographical and climate-based explanations. It's a chicken and egg problem, but it doesn't really help if you're dealing with people who believe in racial superiority, they'll just say "yeah, so we became a super great race because we settled in Whatever Region and they didn't because they didn't".

I believe race is blown way out of proportion by believers, but I found Guns, Germs and Steel to be very hand-wavy and starting from the end, working backwards to tell a story that leads where the author wants it to lead.

When Google was working on the first Chromebook, they decided to give away some prototype Chromebooks to developers for free. There was a web form to request one. A small portion of the requests were granted.

But they also took a more targeted approach: If you appeared to be a frequent user of the Dev release channel of Chrome (unstable), an offer would appear on the New Tab page to immediately claim a prototype Chromebook for free.

I only know this because that’s how I got mine. A coworker of mine was interested in developing a ChromeOS app, tried switching to the Chrome Dev channel like me, and received a similar offer in a few days.

It was great targeting. We both ended up making ChromeOS-specific improvements to a popular web app. When you compare this to the cost of paying a company to port their app to your platform, this was a good deal for them.

HTTP Headers are user-input for the recipient. I delivered a few security-related talks where my website sends XSS payloads in its HTTP headers. There are many "HTTP Headers checker" websites that fail to sanitize HTTP headers, and they make a good punchline for the talk about sanitizing user-input.

The same goes for DNS records too.
To be honest the chinese even study its raise up and have a long tv series about it — war is inevitable. Hence the peaceful raise of china is the slogan. They know you do not. Nearly 20 years of sending in students, researchers, 1000 person scheme etc. They win if it is not Xi, you may not even know until too late.
Oh, invasion was absolutely lazy shorthand in that case. Mostly agree with you on the front of "this isn't how we should think about and conceptualize this." And fully agree that US-ROC relations have been really interesting over their history.

Human capital creates a problem for Taiwan, because human capital is easy to obtain, and the US is really good at convincing the best and brightest of other countries to come to the land of the free, by coercion or just offers They Can't Refuse. This creates a kind of perverse incentive for certain pieces of the US government to hope the situation in Taiwan gets stickier, so they can offer a one-way ticket out of it for scientists they're interested in.

What happens when the attacker modifies /etc/resolv.conf, disables or does not use DNS while on the network.

What if the attacker does not use software that automatically loads images, like the "canary token" tracking pixels?

What is the attacker opens the files offline?

Canary tokens still work? How?

Why would anyone advise using canary token instead of port knocking? Makes no sense. Why not use both?
