> They increase attack surface by supplying a vector to any neighbour

Could you explain what you mean by this? I'm still not getting it.

Here's the example I have in mind: I have one application listening on a TCP port, and another one listening on a different port. I don't want the first application to talk to the second application. If they're just two processes on the same machine, they can both see each other, and an attacker who manages to exploit an RCE vulnerability gets access to the port "for free"; if they're both in containers, then they can only see the ports I specify, and it's really easy for me to specify them.

This literally does seem like an additional shell of defence to me! What sort of attack would it make worse?
> they get virtually no benefit from using grpc because they aren't performance-bound. They are simplicity-bound.

If you're talking latency, to this day gRPC in dynamic languages is still slower than most fast json implementations in _latency_.

It is simply not correct to talk about "performance" this way.

If you care about CPU allocation and not burning 70% of your CPU on JSON parsing, then sure. Most companies don't care about that, and I/O is 3 orders of magnitude a bigger problem than in-process parsing for those problems.
> That article provides nothing about your claim. It's literally less than 2 pages of just historical information of what happened.

I've made no claims. I've presented facts regarding the 90s balsetos exodus from Cuba and requested you to clarify your baseless assertion that even nowadays only these so-called rich and powerful are anything less than stellar to report on Cuba's totalitarian and oppressive regime, even when you're faced with the facts that tens of thousands of people risked their lives to escape Cuba's stranglehold in makeshift barges.

And somehow you preferred to deflect the question. Why is that?
You are both wrong because you're making strongly absolutist claims. Why don't you both get it through your heads that different situations can be different.
TBH, I'd really like to work for the FCC doing this stuff. I know it's grunt work, but it would be such a great end-of-career job to scrutinize hardware to the nth degree, and just have to worry about doing a precise job, not a fast one.
AFAIK "end-to-end encryption encoded at firmware level" is the current official answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/8049u6/starlink_t...
Although for some teams these days, the backend might be finished while the frontend team is still setting up their build pipeline!

They absolutely are if implemented with the right technology and some degree of network engineeeing acumen. One wisp I know in kittitas is selling 50Mbps down x 15Mbps up with no data caps or quotas.

There are also a lot of crappy WISPs out there, so this is by no means definitive. Same as there's lots of crappy frontier copper wireline 5Mbps ADSL2+ still out there on degraded copper lines from 40 years ago.
Harvard teaches a lot more than the average undergrad program.

Yeah I don't disagree, I was mainly pointing out that there isn't a black and white 'grpc = bad' argument.

Especially since I believe grpc does take steps to mitigate some of the RPC issues you'd have with, say, Thrift. For example having the REST gateway so you can support the curl scenario without any extra work. (For example when building my own Thrift-type services I would do extra work to have a mini REST API for status and other operational curling uses)

As to the second part of your argument about there now being a second API, and how that is not necessarily a good thing, I quite agree and can't really speak to the etcd use case, other than that I don't think it's some property of 'Xooglers' to do such a thing to an open source component. I've spent my career using open source components: I've had lone developers who change their APIs willy nilly to fit the pet peeves of their own organization; I've had large companies own an open source component and have it be very disciplined about version migration; I've had lone developers be similarly disciplined; I've had companies make open source projects really complicated.
I didn’t agree that loan sharks are immoral. Even a loan shark makes his borrowers strictly better off by giving them an option they otherwise wouldn’t have.

You can have that with WASM.

But then if that's an option, I think Typescript will be the last language I migrate to, because Typescript development culture, tending as it does towards overcomplicated solutions to simple problems, is unpalatable to me.

I'm drawn to the idea of using Rust over WASM as a frontend language, and I think I'd rather choose that approach to develop any browser UI where type safety is critical, provided there is no discernable difference in performance (when compared to TS over WASM).
I was referring specifically to American companies. They don't do so in China for the simple reason that they're not allowed to operate there.
Honestly, all folks would have to do is get a receipt that shows how much tax you paid.

And even if they do always round up: It won't be that much - up to 4 cents per transaction. 125 transactions would only cost you $5 per month - and besides, businesses have actual costs to using cash. No pennies means less time handing out and counting change and less change to get from the bank. Not to mention the savings at the government level.
Sometimes those details are enough to identify the informant, or for someone with enough sleuthing skills.

For funsies, I once figured out a confidential informant in a DoJ investigation. There was enough info because they were running a business in a niche field in a state not known for it. Didn't act on it in anyway.
The point is that HES is a degree "from Harvard".
Polygon Crest (aka `ysgebl`) designed by developer of freeware flight simulator YSFlight[0] as 3D addons creation utility. It is written in C/C++ with own GUI toolkit build on top of OpenGL (same as YSFlight).

Sources distributed with binary builds, but recent code hosted on GitHub.[1]

This 3D editor support parenting & linking mesh parts (SRF) for creating assembled animation models (DNM).[2]

Additionally to supporting OBJ, STL and OFF mesh formats, Polygon Crest use own file formats (DNM & SRF), which in some way similar to AC3D format.[3]

In 2017, the last year we have data for, 10,230 accidents hit a stationary object, representing 30% of all fatal crashes.

Tesla has had a total of 5 fatal crashes in its history, and only one of them was hitting a stationary object (20%).

So objectively Tesla is doing better than humans.

Coronavirus Hastens the Rise of the Cashless Economy
This story completely misses what the lawsuit is actually about. It isn't just a bunch of employees who are pissed that the stock went down.

Employees' RSU agreements stated that Uber would deliver their shares 6 months post-IPO. A few days before the IPO Uber decided to amend the agreement and accelerate the vesting, so shares would be available on IPO day itself.

Why did they do this? Uber is legally required to withhold taxes during a vesting event. The most common way to do this is to sell a percentage of the shares immediately on vest. This, however, increases the total number of shares in the market and depresses the stock price. To avoid this, Uber decided to pay for the taxes out of their own pocket and claim a percentage of the shares for themselves (basically a private stock buyback).

By moving the vest date up, Uber gambled on the fact that the stock price would be higher in 6 months, and the move would thus benefit both themselves (less out of pocket spend for withholding) and the employees (difference taxed as capital gains rather than regular income). Instead the opposite happened and both parties lost out. More importantly Uber reduced their own risk by locking down their total liability at the IPO date itself and exposed their employees to the whims of market fluctuations.
I didn't finish ready the article because it didn't give a succinct summary of what predictive databases are. But at a glance this seems to be a SQL interface to an AUTOML system.

I grew up with Maarten van Rooijen's silent movie feature, every week, 'silence is golden' it was called. Super interesting era of moviemaking when the medium was so fresh that almost every movie was an experiment in itself. The tricks used to make the movies and lots of excerpts were used to illustrate this bygone era. He was very enthusiastic about it and knew all kinds of details that made it come alive.

All of it was in Dutch though, so for an international audience even though it is about silent film probably not that interesting, and I can't find any of it online so unfortunately no sample episode.
I appreciate sharing of work spaces because it helps people understand what works.

I used to make the same argument, about not using TS for prototyping, but the tooling is so good that at this point, I generally just change the file extension to ".ts" and write no manual types for the mistakes and type-hints + intellisense the compiler and language server provide.
I am not in America so your argument is not valid.

As for your link, most of it is about peace keeping missions. The others involve countries that share a border with China. As I said, China has for the most part never attacked countries it didn't share borders with and I don't live in any of these. Even then, they haven't done carpet bombing, used chemical or nuclear weapons against these countries unlike the US.
Their opaque moderation tactics also killed it.

Generally lowering the interest rate causes inflation only if the economy is already at capacity.

Printing money to keep up with economic growth is also an important function of central banks.

Deficit spending is ultimately simply financed by paying off the debt in the future via taxes. (And the growing economy and the stable but low inflation helps with this.)
What a weird slippery slope argument. There is a world of difference between "so complex that nobody understands it" and "I can telnet to port 80 and fetch a webpage using keyboard and fingers"
It's great to see more people complete the "JPEG decoder challenge" --- and document it too. Have you read the official T.81 spec[1]? It is one of the easier standards to read, and it has flowcharts of all the algorithms which mean you can implement without really understanding the theory.

As you mentioned there are lots of other articles about writing JPEG decoders, as well as for the other popular image formats GIF and PNG. What I haven't seen much of if at all, however, are articles about video decoding; if you're interested to try another challenge, I recommend a decoder for H.261: https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-H.261-199303-I/en

(I've written one --- in C --- and it is actually far simpler than JPEG in many ways, although it shares many similarities. A H.261 decoder in Python, with associated article, would definitely be very interesting to see, and AFAIK also a world-first!)

To add another sleep paralysis anecdote, I used to get it and it was always coupled with an extremely loud pulsating ringing kind of noise in my head which would get progressively louder and faster until the moment I woke up, when it would disappear. It only happened in the late morning or if I had a nap at an odd time. I asked several sleep doctors about it at the time and always got puzzled responses. I discovered that if I wiggled my toes, which took an enormous effort, I could pull out of it and wake up. It stopped happening several years ago on its own.

Competitive hotdog eaters nearing limit of human performance
There are laws and there are regulations. Laws are created by Congress and signed by the President.

Most of the time, laws are very vague and the specifics of the laws - the regulations - are written by government regulatory agencies. The president appoints heads of the regulatory agencies that are approved by the Senate (upper house).

Congress can pass a law that overrides a regulation or it can be struck down by court.

So the President by himself has limited power but he has a lot of influence over regulatory agencies based on who he appoints.

SES has rule sets for receiving email. I have one rule that matches all the blocked recipients (addresses at my domain that receive spam), which bounces with 'mailbox does not exist' (then stops rule processing), then another rule after that that puts all mail into an S3 bucket.

Then I have a script that uses the AWS CLI to move all the mail from the bucket to a local dovecot server.

The whole thing is really hacky/experimental at the moment, and I haven't given out any addresses, so all that I receive is spam. But the spam I do receive is very little and quickly adds to the blocked recipients list.

Sending using SES uses the built-in SMTP server functionality at AWS and has very generous limits for one who is not marketing.

No, that's a complete misstatement of what I said. I acknowledge in that comment that there are people who call themselves "progressives" whose behavior would be considered by many to not be aligned with progressive ideology.

I acknowledge in another comment below that there are people who call themselves "conservatives" whose behaviour and/or beliefs do not align with the general understanding of conservative political ideology.

Neither of these facts about the world changes the difference(s) in the nature of progressive and conservative political ideologies. Among those differences is the general trend for progressivism to be inclusive and tolerant of difference, and for conservatism to be exclusionary and less tolerant of difference. And who knows, conservatives might be right - perhaps stable societies do need a conservative stance (unclear). That doesn't mean that the two philosophies are the same, which in turns makes the behavior of people who attach themselves to those philosophies likely to skew in different directions.
