Facebook operates a vast global network connecting its datacenters and points of presence (POPs). When you connect to Facebook from, say, Tokyo your HTTPS connection is terminated in a local point of presence (likely in Tokyo or somewhere in Japan) and from there the connection is forwarded on to a datacenter in the US or Europe. This forwarding happens over Facebook's privately operated network backbone, which needs to be substantial enough to handle billions of users' traffic (not to mention internal replication traffic and so on). Renting capacity from commercial providers is expensive so Facebook and the other big tech companies are interested in building their own infrastructure for this purpose.

Of course, it would be possible to have a user in Tokyo connect to Facebook's network somewhere closer to the DC but a) getting onto FB's high quality, low congestion network ASAP will perform yield much better performance than leaving the connection running over the internet where it's subject to congestion and long SSL connection round trips, b) terminating user sessions in POPs allows much finer control over which datacenter users are ultimately sent to. Without this FB would have to rely on DNS changes to steer traffic and they are slow to propagate and crude.
"research has shown that roughly 1% of TLS traffic in 2012 was susceptible".

I don't think this is right. Researchers showed that 1%ish of keys they found on the internet are bad, not that 1% of traffic is susceptible.

From having studied this in a large enterprise setting more recently, there is in fact a really high prevalence of junk keys but much of it is concentrated in self signed certs and other garbage. Voip devices, printers, and management cards. Roca, internet of shit etc. The last big issue that hit the a high proportion of traffic was maybe the debian debacle from 2008.

Now, is this better or worse you decide, but it is a different claim.

The keys that do the vast bulk of traffic generally come from respectable implementations.
This is how democracy works. If you want these 70 million votes, you better address the problem they complain about.

They didn't, and she lost.

You can but unless you use NixOS the experience might not be great.

A few months ago I tried migrating my development environment from Ansible to Nix. My playbooks are basically in alphabetical order and so that meant starting with Alacritty. I immediately hit two issues:

- A conflict between the version of fontconfig the package was compiled with and the version of fontconfig installed on my system.

- Nix's OpenGL problem. [0]

They're easy enough to work around but I wonder how big the list would've gotten if I hadn't stopped there.

As someone else said, it’s tied to how many songs you listen to.

Hypothetical: I mostly listen to Spotify during workouts so I only have about 200 streams a month. My coworker has a top 40 playlist running all day so they have over 2000 streams a month.

If we each pay $11 their artists will get $20 while mine will only get $2.

I.e. even though I never listened to a top 40 song, the artists I listened to will only get $2 from my subscription, the rest will go to the artists my coworker follows
What's exceptionally stupid is that all I have to do is point a camera at the screen. DRM for the fail, yet again.
From my perspective, literally every word of your argument but one supports a progressive "left" policy.

Wealth has been redistributed already. $50 trillion has gone from the poorest 90% to the wealthiest 1%[1].

The one word is "gun". The wealthy don't need firearms to compel the rest of us to work for them. In fact, we beg them for jobs every day.

I want to help my fellow man, but I simply don't have the resources. They have all gone to the hands of 50 billionaires[2].

There is a way we can get them back. It doesn't require the point of a gun. It only requires better tax policy.

Realistically speaking, short of airgapped networks and military-style security, you can't.

It's also much less of a problem than you'd think, since if somebody does walk away with valuable IP and tries to make money with it, they can be sued to oblivion. Employers are also well aware of this, which is why few competitors would want to touch it. See eg. Lewandowski in the Uber v Google case.

Not a mod, but I'll take an educated guess that this is what ires someone:

> What is called far right in USA is the same thing we call neo-fascism anywhere else

The rest of your post is spot on IMO but I hesitate to upvote because of that part, and not because there isn't a point but because it is a whole lot more nuanced:

Yes: a number of wackos exist on the "far right" (I hate that term as it frames conservatives with totalitarian ones.)

But there has also been a tendency by media to abuse the term as a rubber stamp for "anything conservative we don't like". It's either that or a large number of facists are the ones to defend the jews this year, and despite 2020 being odd I don't think that will ever happen.

(I collected a fair number of downvotes myself last election season, seemingly from both sides, which is why I feel somewhat qualified to explain ;-)
The difference is in what you chose to do after you see an error. If you assume that packet loss can only mean congestion, you back off rather than re-transmit, as your re-transmission is likely to make the problem worse, not better.

In the case of wireless comms though, that may just increase lag, as the packet may have been lost just because of physical issues and a swift re-trnasmit could be the best option.

Sending money to others in Whatsapp has the following issues

To send, you have to have a conversation going on in Whatsapp. That means adding that person to your contact list. This is problematic because, you deal with many unknown vendors over time. Using whatsapp to send payments would spam your contact list.

edit:

Also, this is using Unified Payments Interface (UPI). There are a lot of apps that have much better UI/UX & Value adds than WA. I use PayTM, in which, I scan a QR code with the UPI address, do the payment and be done with it. Very simple to use, no issue of confusion / sending money to wrong person, No known privacy issues, etc.

Also, It's not like a lot of people want to send money to their friends. Usually, it's business transactions.

It could work for off bank micro loans, provided there is an app for tracking and charging interest, etc.

Apple already tried this in in mid 90s. It was called OpenDoc. You could embed a drawing document live in your word processing document and if you clicked the embedded document the drawing UI for editing would appear.

It turned out to be absolutely horrible. Maybe it was before it's time with computers having only a few meg of memory and being slower than today but it seemed more of an issue because things like UI, when you click the embedded document, what should happen? How much of the drawing's ui should be shown vs word processor's. It was also a nightmare because unless every user had OpenDoc and the exact same components on the exact same version nothing worked.

> what does it say about those who wish to destroy history elsewhere?

This is a misleading framing: nobody is calling for destroying history. If you follow the discussion at all closely, a very common refrain is that statues should be in museums rather than major civic places and, even more importantly, presented with correct and complete historical context. A large number of these statues were put up for partisan purposes during the Jim Crow era and have little artistic or historical value since their purpose was always propaganda rather than education.

A similar dynamic plays out with plantations: nobody is calling to have them destroyed - what conservatives are objecting to is including the complete history of the slavery and torture which were as integral to their functioning as the luxuries enjoyed by the planter class.

Using the German example: the entire country is aware of the history but they learn that in schools and museums, there aren’t statues of Hitler in parks, and if you visit a concentration camp it shows the horrors suffered there rather than painting a rise-colored view of how comfortably the camp commander lived or talking about how productive the slaves in the forced labor factories were without acknowledging the cruelty of their lives.
> Just don't use aggressive force or the threat of it to do so.

Is there any other way?

I don't know of any. Is it truly moral to reject the only method for equality?

It's not like billionaires are going to have someone pointing a gun in their face. They can afford to pay taxes.

50 people literally hold as much wealth as 165 million[1].

Just because poverty isn't aggressive does not mean it is morally superior to taxation.

Since this article comes up from time to time in a PGP context I generated a PGP FAN article discussing it:

* https://articles.59.ca/doku.php?id=pgpfan:rsabad

A generally relevant excerpt:

The writer ends with a discussion of alternatives to RSA. The writer says this:

> … the math behind ECC is so complicated that very few people feel confident enough to actually implement it. In other words, it intimidates people into using libraries built by cryptographers who know what they’re doing. RSA on the other hand is so simple that it can be (poorly) implemented in an hour.

In other words; the ECC encryption method is superior because it is significantly more complex than RSA. That is at the end of an article that talks about how hard RSA is to get right. This is not a compelling argument.
> There never was a time at which moderately good oil paintings sold more cheaply than now, and there never was a time at which first-rate paintings sold so dearly.

Dude, I really don't get why you're being so gung ho on this. The errors on the individual polls were way out of line with the actual results.

When we regularise these results like 538 or the Economist did, we get slightly better results, but they were still not particularly accurate.

This is a real problem, and not one that we should be ignoring. I gave the polling companies a pass after 2016, but that this happened again is extremely concerning.

> This is why sites like 538 were able to model the various outcomes with some degree of certainty and ONCE AGAIN manage to get results within the range of expected probabilities.

But they were super close to the edges of the intervals. Like the most expected number of electoral votes for Biden was 380-400, which is not what happened.

> You really seem to have a hard time understanding both polling and probability and in particular the relationship between sample size and error. I suggest a bit more research.

Please don't be dismissive of other people. Many people (including people who do stuff like this every day) were very surprised by the results. We definitely shouldn't tar and feather the pollsters, but I think it would be great if we could get an understanding of why the polls appear to have been systematically biased.

2% would make marine fuel about 7% of transport greenhouse gas emissions. BUT marine fuel is insanely dirty. Easily 10X worse than land transport fuels and engines, and with no emissions mitigation.

It might be simpler to require cleaner marine fuel, but marine fuel is currently a polluter at a large multiple of its share of greenhouse gas emissions.

Also, ammonia is a very good candidate for an economically viable energy storage and transport medium for renewable energy generation. Hydrogen is expensive to store and embrittles metal containers and pipelines.
A small correction:

> There, we are installing per-user packages because yes, NixOS supports that, any user can have its own packages that others users can’t access.

Other users can access those packages if they want to. Those packages won't show up in other users' $PATH, so other users will not be affected by them, but they could see what's in /nix/store if they wanted to. This matters when you're thinking of putting private data (such as an encryption key) in a package: it's vital that you don't do that on a multi-user system.

It's great for you that your Twitter feed has managed to avoid the most depraved, violent side of the right. I'll attribute that to the relatively rarefied air of Twitter broadly. Fact is, the Internet skews left; Twitter skews left of that; and the Twitter feed of an educated Hacker News commentator (which I presume you are) skews even lefter. So you might not be getting an accurate reading of the temperature of the country.

It'd be pretty interesting to see a similar curve for software engineers. It's pretty clear that FAANG pays a lot more than most other companies and also that SV and NY companies regularly pay 3-4x as much for medium-level engineers as US heartland and EU companies pay for very senior devs. Then there are the vast offshore body farms in east Asia where a senior dev makes 10x less than that again. Also, if you count stock compensation there must be a few early unicorn employees that made 10x FAANG levels.

It seems like it'd be a pretty steep power law, maybe even more so than the Spotify example from the article.

I think it is much lower on the list for terminal-first users than that, as they use Aerc or Mutt solely for reading and writing mail on the local machine and rely on other programs to sync the incoming and outgoing mail with the external mail server. I use Aerc, but also msmtp for sending and mbsync for receiving mail, for instance. This aligns more with the Unix philosophy of combining multiple small programs that do only one thing well into a personalized workflow.
> several European governments said that masks were not useful for ordinary people,

For the very simple reason that there weren't enough masks for the people that needed them ( medical personnel), and the last thing you wants in such a scenario is for the public to freak out and fight over the already non-existing stocks.

Plenty of governments were too slow to react ( with lockdowns/limitations, or planning), but to say all Western leaders failed is simply wrong.
> maybe it’s that my past right-leaning self was a teenager with half-baked ideas about the world, when I reflect on what drove me that way, I cannot point to any coherent, constructive thought, mostly feelings of entitlement and an unwillingness to put myself in the other’s shoes.

Thank you for saying this. It's hard to admit an error.
Currently, each played song will earn a fraction of a cent/penny to an artist (around 0.4 to 0.8 cent)[1].

If you played a single song during the month. That artist would only get that fractional cent. The remaining of your monthly fee will go to other artists you have never played and may have no interest financing.

Most will be the popular artists du jour pushed by the records labels. They like the current system because -by definition- popular songs will be played a lot, probably in large part by free users (they are the majority anyway at around 55%)[1].

So popular streams always get the lion share of Spotify's revenues, mostly financed by those who don't listen to them.
