> Cloudflare was purely acting out of market based fear, there wasn't a hint of moral impetus.

IIRC, the reason DailyStormer pissed off CloudFlare is because the users claimed (lied) about CloudFlare was somehow participating / sponsoring the site/activities. Sports teams have non-disparagement clauses; I don't see this as much different.

The only thing I'm not clear about is if it was just a rando user on DS that said the thing or some moderator/admin who can reasonably be said to represent the organization that runs the site.

Also, Macy's and Starbucks are allowed to deny their business to individuals at their discretion (subject to Equal Rights and Americans with Disabilities laws). Last I checked, being a Nazi is not a protected status (perhaps I'm wrong).

> We were all screaming for Net Neutrality just a couple years ago.

Different concept. This is about who a vendor chooses to allow as a customer. Common Carrier status is perhaps a closer comparison, but I think AT&T is allowed to drop a customer if they violate the AT&T ToS / contract.

Also, the CEO of CloudFlare went out of his way to publicize that this was a problem for the health of the internet and to start a conversation. Society didn't walk away from CloudFlare (eg. "vote with your feet/wallet") and Congress didn't choose to create any laws.

Yeah, and then... a few days later... The problem is reCaptcha, just stop using reCaptcha as Google is tracking all of us.

My personal opinion is that it's better to use hCaptcha. I wasn't aware that they don't support audio. I think a better approach would be requesting hCaptcha to implement the missing bit.

Giving less control to Google is better. Given the widespread tracking they have access to right now.
We don't have hot reloading. We avoided caching certain resources because of this exact reason, its a bit finicky. But we're working on a better way to do it.
I recall an X-Files episode where a woman was affected by the transmission of a ULF or ELF antenna and it was making her crazy. Was a fun episode

I had to stop and think about why the, "can we?" argument annoys me. I feel that it reflects (at its most extreme) a belief that if the system isn't perfect and the candidates beyond question, that there's no benefit in making a choice. However, I feel that there's an opportunity cost to perfectionism. We (in Western democracies) have been able to make some progress in some areas (while clearly acknowledging things are far from perfect, or even completely broken in some areas), while we're "in" an imperfect system. Surely, there's some possible benefit to making a "least worst" choice, while that choice still exists? And if not, what's the alternative?

> On the other hand, it's not as big of a deal to spread the virus if everyone has protection from the symptomatic risks

Assuming everybody got the vaccine in the same instant, which they would not.

We've all seen how people are behaving right now: "Oh I'm young, forget about grandma". How do you think they'd behave knowing that they've been vaccinated? It's important to consider the sociological conditions in which an intervention is deployed. Unfortunately, our present society has a very large number of self-centred individuals.

One book I wish I had known about was "Precious Little Sleep" by Alexis Dubief. You don't have to follow everything, but having some guide to your babies sleep needs and will be helpful.

Honestly, forget the manual. Get help with either taking care of the baby or with household stuff. Get family to come, pay somebody, whatever. If you aren't comfortable with paid help to take care of the baby, pay somebody to clean and cook. Having healthy home meals ready is going to save you a lot of misery.

Babies are actually pretty easy from a task perspective. Sleep, eat, poop, diaper changes, playtime, tummytime, etc. What takes the toll is how many times you have to do this stuff combined with sleep deprivation.

Get help and emotional support. That will do much more for you, your relationship with your partner, and your ability to be a parent than any manual can do.

Also a note on pediatricians. A lot of pediatricians are fairly easy going in that if the baby has no major symptoms (e.g. no fever, no vomiting) is gaining weight, there is nothing to worry about. This is actually a good way to look at things, but it's definitely hard not get frustrated with this easy-going approach when you have this little person in your arms and you're totally overwhelmed.
How do you know what you’ve been reading about how it’s all exaggerated is real? How do you know that what you google about is real? Are you sure it’s not a Russian-Chinese conspiracy? We could look at facts and decide what to do about them or we could argue about what a fact is and what a fact isn’t. If you can’t accept facts and are unable to educate yourself, nobody will do that for you.

This does seem like a genuine problem, and there are already signs of this happening in the Fediverse. Perhaps it needs a name, so that people can notice when it is happening, and discuss potential solutions to it. The name I propose is "Federator's Dilemma", as it seems like a game theoretic problem.

As for a solution, my intuition is that the first step might be to create a Sybil-proof voting system for determining how popular individual services are. If a service is refused federation by other services which collectively contain 90% of user accounts, then that's a sign that the service doesn't do enough to stop its users from posting objectionable content. Similarly, service A could report to service B how many abuse reports it is getting from its users about people on service B, with a clear rule about when service B would be blocked.

This isn't a perfect system, and I admit that a Sybil-proof global anonymous distributed voting system might be harder than just solving the Federator's Dilemma more directly, but I think it's worth considering, not least because such a voting system would be useful for countless other applications online.
> But "identifying which universe something is in"
> is not the definition of "the fifth dimension".

Is there a difference?

Lets say we have a bunch of film strips, laid one on top of another, only each frame represents an entire 3D universe, and each layer of a new film strip, at the same point from the start, becomes less similar* as you move from layer to layer. To identify where something is, you would refer to the delta (ie: of the number of layers). That was what I was getting at.

*Hand-waving to ignore that in real life, each frame probably spawns multiple children, but only has one parent.

Also a travel industry programmer. Same feelings about for how much longer, heh.

> If you book through the airline's systems or on online reservation systems they likely use the airline's systems to track travel instead of GDS since the GDS wants to take a big cut of every ticket sale.

But in my experience, the airline backend and pricing is usually outsourced to Sabre or Amadeus. Frontier and Southwest are the only big players I know of that handle that sort of thing themselves, and Frontier has a teeny-tiny routelist compared to the others.

This sounds like a fantastically complicated way to restore ELF capability, which has already been deprecated.
COVID-19 is that bad - the virus itself is very much in the sweet spot, that is not so vicious it's easily detected and squelched, but not so harmless we can let it run through the population. It's probably close to the worst case, in fact, given our current technology and public health knowledge. Viruses optimized for spread are not optimized for dealing death, and vice versa.
I'd say all were sleep-walking - doing preventative medicine theatre. If you'd quizzed them (and they were quizzed) they wouldn't have said (and didn't say) "It won't happen" they would say "we're prepared." But in their heart of hearts - that is unconsciously - (see my first comment) they obviously didn't think it would happen to them, now. We hate to think unpleasant thoughts, and really hate to be the first one in our crowd to do so.
This is the 3rd DNS related outage I've seen in a week. Frountier Communications lost their DNS. Trying to recall what the 3rd one was.

My Unbound resolver round-robins DNS-over-TLS requests, between Cloudflare & Quad9. Cloudflare's outage never impacted us that I could tell.

Nevertheless, I am reminded that I ought to add a couple of DoT providers (who aren't Google). Not sure who else came online since I setup.
> There is no end to the insanity otherwise; we need basic, smart and clear regulation.

I would argue that people should agree on what the right solution is before we enshrine it in law.

Also, when you think of the US Congress, do you think of "basic, smart and clear" regulations?
The analogy here would be not speed limits as such, but rather cameras that enforce them. And there is a lot of contention around those - in some locations, enough so for voters to use the local initiative process to remove them.

I agree, and I could’ve been clearer. The Privacy Pass workaround shouldn’t be necessary and we should demand Cloudflare do better.

(To avoid any doubt: I’m not affiliated with Cloudflare in any way, other than that I’m a customer on their free plan.)

> No one could think about cars at that time. Correct.

Ford Motor Company was Henry Ford's 3rd car company, and by that time there were probably 15+ car companies in Detroit alone.

As a curious aside, his second car company is still around too. He left after serious disputes with his financial backers; they decided to liquidate the company and brought another experienced Detroit engineer in to do so, but he recognized the value and convinced them to continue, renaming it the Cadillac Automobile Company.

I once had a rep at an airline email me PDF's containing full instructions on how to connect to their developer VPN, connect to their dev and prod databases, a Java code sample, and full credentials for all. It was meant for a new developer but got sent to me (contractor working outside the company).

I haven't ever tried connecting to it, but I'll tell you when I alerted their security team there was no urgency about it, and the password was so simple I bet you could guess it within 10 tries.

Rosa's book "Grande Sertão: Veredas" is the best book I've read in my life. The author almost invents a new language, making it really difficult to read. I've just finished it in my third try. Rosa helped to translate it to German, Italian, French and Spanish, languages that he spoke. For me it is really impossible to translate. I don't know if a English version is worth it.

I've now seen two sata controller failures thanks to zfs. One on my own machine amd one on my parents. Both presented as if a drive failed but it was actually the port on the controller that failed. It'd start up fine but randomly reads (and probably writes) would just be corrupted and the disk would eventually stop talking. Changing disks wouldn't fix it, which is how I kmew it was the controller but replacing the controller made everything happy. It the resilvered with no issues.

>Avoid the 'What to Expect' series at all costs. It's popular, but it's utter bullshit.

I don't really agree with this for the first book. The main issue with the 0 - 12 month book is that it tries to cover a very wide range of things, many of which will not apply to your child. So you have to read it and just find what is useful for you. For example, we never knew that lots of babies get terrible gas in the 3rd(?) month and that's completely normal.

There's so much "normal" stuff that seems like something is seriously wrong (e.g. gas, witching hours) with your child. Reading about it just helps to know you're not failing as a parent.

I'd agree that the other books are not that useful.
What value and at what cost?

The research field chooses you. Who do you have access to that influences your perspective on the world. I had professors in undergrad who focused on cryptography and security. I did several independent studies in cryptography. That led me to work at a company that worked in cryptography, and programming language design. the job I was put on at that company had me working on programming language design for machine learning. My friend started working in physical oceanography, and gained access to large amounts of acoustic ocean monitoring data. at the same time my dad started asking questions about how to measure light pollution from photographs, pushing me into image processing. I decided to go back to school for machine learning in order to sort out that data. I focused on identifying whale songs and measuring light pollution, pushing me into machine learning for signal processing. Now I work in machine learning research for identifying security vulnerabilities in compiled binaries. My side projects research now is in natural language processing and information retrieval on medical texts. This is because the graduate school I chose happened to be a medical University.

People call for this all the time when a major security vulnerability is discovered. The difference is in how the community views it.

Cloudflare should weigh harm of blocking access to the Deaf community warrant the harm of removing a captcha that doesn't support them. They should have done it when they chose a captcha that doesn't support the Deaf community.

As technology comes to mediate every avenue of life, we need to recognize that technology only has value in its positive effects on people's lives. A security vulnerability is bad because owners may lose control, property may be lost, crimes may be committed. Usability vulnerabilities can deny services essential to their users. You're totally correct that there is no magic solution, but to say that we know which imperfect solution is preferable is incorrect.
Eh, eye of the beholder. The stronger type system and more verbose syntax certainly makes the code look different. In a way though, it makes the code much more readable. To pick on Python, the Rust code is a lot more _specific_ in what it is going to do, I like that when I am maintaining a code base, it is easier to work on and understand.
They are also targeting totally different use cases, so I understand differences of opinion depending on what kind of problem you are trying to solve.

They wouldn't be as much of an issue in the first place, because there isn't a single company with a single collection of data to siphon through a single API with a single entity that has to give you access in order to collect whatever you want. A Cambridge Analytica that has to separately try to get data from O365 and GMail and FastMail and ProtonMail is much less dangerous.

A great deal of your non-determinism is in trying to run an End-to-End test while the UI is still trying to settle.

For instance, your negative tests (click something and make sure nothing happens) can fail to detect anything at all because they perform an action and then validate the UI before the action has even processed.

Yes, of course nothing has happened, because you didn't let it.
