Switch to their business class offering if you need the upstream. I'm also in northern NJ and on 200/20 tier. There's no technical limitation on that bandwidth restriction so long as you have a docsis 3 modem or later that can bond multiple upstream channels.

However, there was a technical issue I had some months ago with a faulty Arris modem provisioning file that disabled upstream bonding across most of their models. It took an email to the CEO to sort it out (after a Reddit and DSLReports post on the matter).
There is value in making the game progress client-side without waiting for a response from the server. Having the game logic run on both sides gives you the best of both worlds:
1. One authoritative version of the game state on the server.
2. Lag-free experience on the client.

The causes in this case are myriad and complex. I should have said “By only pointing to the external cause…”. By ignoring the non-external causal factors, you appear to be trying to shift blame from failure of police themselves to some external factor. Which is victim-blaming.

And, yes, nobody cares about any cause of a problem unless it helps coming up with a solution. If a system is complex enough, it is not logical to insist on analyzing it exhaustively to find all the root causes; it is more expedient to fix the problem some other way. And this is not even what you were doing; you pointed out one external factor and highlighted it, implying that the blame and the problem must be fixed there.

Yeah, feels similar to Make concurrency bugs, where the makefile was developed with --jobs=1, and then years down the track someone says “let’s make it faster!” and tries --jobs=8 or similar, but that leads to compilation failures (or worse, succeeding in compiling the wrong thing), and because all the makefile was made years ago, it’s hard to track down exactly where the prerequisites are lacking; whereas if --jobs=8 had been used from the start, it would have been caught early.

This seems to fit with the charge that you are arguing momentum is racist. They were born in a poor household. That household is poorer than it would otherwise be because of racism in prior generations (but which no longer exists today) leading to a lack of inheritance among other things. This is your evidence of systemic racism.

Along those same lines I suppose we also suffer from systemic genocide, systemic famine, systemic war, and every other crappy thing that happened to people in history and were not somehow complete corrected for by a counter redistribution of wealth and status.

Absolute nonsense.

First of all, they are increasingly selling the data. They exfil first, lock second.

Second of all, these wonderful criminals are targeting all manners of institutions, not just large universities.

Proper data hygiene at large enterprise levels is, in fact, exceedingly difficult.
I think most of the sentiments here are regarding the abuses of the H1-B program by the American companies and not targeted towards the recipients of the visas themselves. I don't think it's reasonable for people to draw the conclusion that the normal people that were awarded the visas should be to blame.

> I remember our server was fine because we were on some ancient version of OpenSSL.

It's a side point, but I don't entirely understand the argument here since it's basically guaranteed you were vulnerable to a variety of other bugs due to not updating. It depends how old your OpenSSL version was I suppose, but still, it kinda feels like gloating you survived a hurricane by doing no preparation - I'm happy for you, but that doesn't necessarily make it a great idea ;)

At the time, I think OpenSSL had several trees that were supported, Heartbleed was in the 1.0.1 tree, but not earlier trees, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8 trees were both still supported. OpenSSL versioning isn't very conventional, so one might not realize that 1.0.1 is a major version difference from 1.0.0, and 1.0.0 is a major version different than 0.9.8, but that's how they roll, minor versions within a series get letters after the name, and sometimes break binary compatibility (ugh). There's a reason a lot of people were slow to update to 1.0.1; unfortunately for me, my company had just updated to 1.0.1 about a month before the bug was reported, so we could get TLS 1.2 support. Would have saved a lot of headache if we had waited :(
While I acknowledge this (especially your last observation regarding the shameful state of U.S. prisons), and laugh at the ignorance of the claim that E.E. street gangs not having had easy access to firearms (they very much had, especially post-Yugoslav Wars), I still think that less policing has the potential to improve things.

Harsh policing would not change culture, even if it was done fairly, in the interest of community welfare. But U.S. policing is far from fair: U.S. police instill fear, rather than respect in the public, even in many moderately well-off areas that are free of street gangs. Legal and regulated prostitution, a definitive end to the drug war, would allow us to significantly defund the police, and pour those into efforts that could actually help. Moreover, this would decimate the revenue streams of many street gangs, which immediately reduces their "coolness factor".

There is some concern that most of the money freed up by this could end up poured into efforts that have a track record of not working. Alas, I think this is fairly likely, but it's no big loss: currently, all of that same money is being poured into different efforts that still definitely do not work. And if we get lucky, a fraction of the money may actually go to efforts that actually have a positive impact on cultural problems.

From what i have seen over the years this is an industry standard practice. Don't assume the employees about to be sacked are in the know.

Sometimes this is hidden under the guise of big IT modernization projects. The company transitions or consolidates towards ERP platform X. It is a huge operation that touches almost every part of the business. Armies of analysts are brought in to map the AS-IS business operations, the system is developed, once stable enough, the other shoe drops and the whole IT department is now moved off- or near shore to the company that transitioned the system while other 'non-strategic' parts of the business are 'streamlined' into managed service contracts with other parties in the project consortium.
I mean, if it's "offensively excessive" from the writer's point of view, then I feel like it'd make sense even with the "but"; that's indeed how I took the sentence to mean.
The reality is that US police kill all races at shockingly high rates. Black people are killed at a higher rate, but they are a minority of those killed. The problem of the US police system is excessive use of force against all races, compounded by racism.

Take the UK for example. The UK also has a history of importing slaves, it also has minorities living in poor neighborhoods, it has a similar degree of income inequality as the US, but the rate at which UK police kill civilians is orders of magnitude lower. The UK has as many police killings in a quarter century as the US has in a month, despite having a fifth of the population.

The US police system’s approach seems to be to fight fire with fire, not prevent the fires in the first place. Hence the call to defund the police and invest in prevention. But I think defunding is only part, the police need to be retrained to prevent and deescalate, not to respond to all resistance with deadly force.

Yes, and it should apply to all online systems as they grow into the millions of users, because not surprisingly, network effects are pervasive on the network. So not just communications but commerce such as Amazon should be forced to transition (in stages) or stop growing.

They could do whatever they wanted with their customers (pricing, who and how to serve, terms of service, etc.) when they were small enough that users could in practice leave them for a competitor just as easily as they could cut off service.

But if they allowed themselves to grow to into the millions of users, they would have to gradually transition to purely uninvolved, invisible infrastructure, like an underground water pipe. Their users would deal with smaller middlemen instead of the background infrastructure provider. The infrastructure provider would have no way to impose terms of service or philosophical opinions or pricing controls or whatever, which only the middlemen would be allowed, and if the middlemen all conspire, the infrastructure provider wouldn't be able to deny service to a new middleman who offered an alternative.

Basically, the small players deal freely with small players, and the biggest players, instead of gaining leverage, would have to serve them more and control or compete less (or remain small and retain the full freedom of a small player).
This is a labour issue, not an issue of xenophobia. Though I'm sure these companies would love us to believe it's about xenophobia. The breakdown of western labour protections and the march towards near chinese levels of exploitation will likely be overseen by people who claim that western labour protections are racist.
I would love to see a better solution for handling certs on local networks. One of the major headaches for IT admins is that a lot of server products have security vulnerabilities when running on http. But configuring the certs on local networks is a pain. Especially bad if the local network isn’t connected to the internet.

> I don't know if the kernel is capable of sharing read-only paged memory references or not.

Any pages mapped from disk should be shared, as a consequence of the FreeBSD unified buffer cache; this is why if you write to a binary in-place with cp instead of unlinking first (like install), currently executing copies are changed, and usually crash :). Read-write program sections will be mapped so their changes are private though, so you get copy on write semantics. Trailing parts that aren't page sized will be copied into a full page, I think.

Well if it was illegal to not report it, they'd be putting themselves at a lot of risk. I can't see a university or corporation making a large payment like that illegally.

Also, it may not make the costs to them more. Remember the amount of ransom is based on what the ransomers think the ransomees are willing to pay. Today, the reason it was 1.4 million instead of 2.8 million, is that they didn't think UCSF would pay the latter amount. So if they knew UCSF would have to pay double the amount of the ransom, they'd have to only ask for half as much.
All that existed during the 90s, just on a much smaller scale. There were toxic corners of usenet and BBS echo chambers. It's just much faster and more efficient (for some definitions of efficiency...).
In C a pointer is an object in its own right, so referring to the contents of a pointer, p, means the same thing as referring to the contents of an integer, i; namely, the value held by the object. A pointer value has semantic meaning and usefulness the same as an integer value, completely divorced from the machine representation, which in a pure C program should always be irrelevant for pointer and arithmetic types alike.

I don't think I can articulate well why it's important to keep in mind and appreciate value semantics. Certainly many C programmers, especially the newer ones, are far too concerned with value representation rather than the abstract value itself, often conflating the two. I guess one good example of why it's important to understand pointers as proper objects with abstract values is when working with pointers-to-pointers, pointers-to-pointers-to-pointers, etc. Pointer arithmetic is another case, which doesn't overlap with the former as much as you'd think. In these cases understanding pointers as values is important to understanding the semantics of a program, and more generally how to leverage the language efficiently and safely. Note that these semantics have no analog in references, the construct in, e.g., C++. It doesn't make sense to conceptualize references as independent objects; rather, a reference is a syntactic construct, no more an object than a list initializer.

Yeah, as a C programmer I would find it kind of odd if someone seemed to conceptually elide the character of pointers as proper first-class objects.
Wow! The implications are huge. At least the Xerox bug had the benefit of being reproducible. An AI algo might _occasionally_ spit out an incorrect digit, and other times not. Really, this highlights the need for explicability in AI/ML.
It’s not that obvious. It could be assurance that the data would be deleted and not sold/shared.
This makes sense at scale. The restaurant seats 600. Some form of assembly line is essential.
That much is obvious, but can we get there before a catastrophe wipes us out or sets us back hundreds of years? Colonizing other planets is not going to happen in our lifetimes or in my grandchildren's lifetimes. We don't even have colonies under the oceans yet.

Every new environment (planet) will have different risks, so colonizing is a hedge, not a guarantee. If you look at the history of colonizing the New World, Europeans had many failures, and they weren't even leaving the planet. We can expect similar high failure rates colonizing other planets.
While reading your comment I had this weird sense of Deja Vu - I've been reading a book about the problems brought on by globalized trade, and there's a surprising number of parallels. Local companies shuttering. Transfer pricing. Tax havens. Moral hazards when company owners live across the globe from customers and employees. Shell companies and fraud. Connecting the world globally in communications and trade has created enormous new opportunities - both good and bad. But we're only now starting to understand the enormity of the latter, and we're pretty much still at square one when it comes to dealing with these new global problems.

You can make the game progress without running validations or duplicating game logic on the client.

For example, in the online multiplayer version of Ludo I'm currently building, I trigger the die roll animation on the client but the actual dice are rolled on the server, which then calculates what moves are possible based on the game state and sends that + the value of the roll to the client. The client doesn't know anything about the rules of Ludo, it simply knows how to parse and render the move format as well as send the ID of the picked move to its source of truth (in this case, the server).

The H-1B program is not intended to give employers access to cheaper foreign labor. Its stated purpose is to allow people to immigrate when they can do jobs that US workers can't. When there are already US workers doing those jobs, that's clearly not the case. But that sort of abuse has been all too common.

The recent H-1B suspension probably goes too far the other way -- the program needs more safeguards against abuse rather than to be discontinued -- which requires a legislative solution (auctioning off the slots seems promising). But the legislators are apparently too busy flinging their own scat at each other right now because it's an election year. In the meantime it might not be such a bad thing to fail closed rather than fail open, given the effect of the lockdowns on the unemployment rate.
I don't agree that choosing not to offer a product or service which is popular but which you believe is a terrible idea is "weirdly fascist".

I would suggest instead that demanding other people figure out whatever weird quirks you have and then cater to them under the guise of being "child friendly" is at best weirdly fascist.

And it seems you at least reluctantly agree this that can't work even if you wish A&A would try to do it anyway, since all the systems you listed involve you explicitly configuring what you want blocked, allowing you to take responsibility for the inevitable under/overblocking.
