I'm wary of relying on the response from unknown hosts on a messy, adversarial network like the internet, even if I'm hoping to catalog some as malicious. There really is no reason why I should expect well- and consistently-ordered responses against which I can fingerprint. Adjusting the underlying libraries to generate a randomized list of acceptable ciphers, or to randomize any other data that program is using to build this fingerprint is trivial.

Putting aside the adversarial case, I can imagine even well intentioned networks with, say, anycasted addresses munging this up as well. I can give you one IP address but six, 11, 91 or however many different responses if I so choose. Which response is the 'correct' one? Are you going to ban entire blocks of addresses because one happened to match a known C&C host?
And we don't have enough B2s in Seoul to make a real dent using MOAPs either I take it? Thanks for the links, that is really interesting. Hopefully neither of us see "war with NK" in our lifetimes.
This smells like a settlement to avoid setting a precedent against civil asset forfeiture. If there's $4 billion at stake, they're going to fight tooth and nail to avoid giving it back. That's a number larger than their annual budget [1].

It isn't always a choice: Most child care places simply do not take pre-teens - they stop after elementary school, as do many after-school programs.

I'll also add that it isn't just a couple hours after school: It is holidays that parents don't get off work. It is summers without school. It is 6-8 hours after school while parents work second shift. It, in general, doesn't matter if your child is mature enough to stay home during the summer or late into the evening, the child care isn't for them.
I can't help but think content producers are laughing their asses off on the way to the bank, regardless of whether people think their content is good or bad as long as they get the bag. Netflix convinced a bunch of investors they were a tech company several years ago, got the tech money and valuation, and are now transferring it by the droves to content producers because it really is not a tech company and will not sustain tech company margins unless they can stay on top of any other challengers in the space like Disney, HBO, Prime Video, Hulu and whoever else wants to show up. Is this actually sustainable? What will differentiate them long term from other media conglomerates? Of the other players in that space, Amazon is the most interesting because of the sheer breadth of their entire business.
I would like to offer an alternate opinion, since this has become a Google bashing thread. Google Chrome is one of the products I love the most as a developer. The number of standards/experimental features that are launched in Chrome boggles my mind. Microsoft Edge plays catch up, but Safari doesn't even try. From date field to async/wait to web payments, several HTML5 specifications can't be rolled out easily because of Safari.

I am old enough to remember the last time that happened, IE killed Netscape and left web development in stalemate. Chrome changed that and continues to push it forward till this day. It also gave birth to V8 engine and Node.js. IMO, we owe open web to Google Chrome.

As a part of online banking, being able to spawn temporary pseudo accounts, where I could transfer, say $150 a month over 6 months to cover an upcoming one time payment of an auto premium for example.

You would get the benefit of prepayment discounts and an accurate financial picture when looking at your main account.

I think some semblance of this exists for certain online banks but I have enough momentum with my current bank that I wouldn't switch just for that.

This is a problem with "philosophical" induction, not logical induction. I don't even know what it means "to believe in [philosophical] induction." Does it mean to believe that future things will behave like things similar to them in the past, except when they don't, in which case we made a mistake in thinking they were similar?

They probably don't want the high egress business, anyway. Besides the whole "keep data in". They have a CDN for those businesses that need it and everything else that needs a lot of egress, they probably don't want as business.
It seems that tile hosting is a large business. Apple, Mapbox, Mapzen, Google? all offer free tiers for their tiles that cost big $$$$ once you go over the limit.

I have thought about making a generic API for centering a map, adding a marker, etc that would map (pun intended) the instructions onto the respective JS Api (Mapbox.js, MapKit JS, ...) allowing you to rotate between the services on each page load as to not exhaust the free tier as fast.

You'll get a slightly different UI each time, but I think people generally know how to use a slippy map.

Does this exist? Is anyone interested in something like this?
If they were going to do this I wouldn't have expected them to make Apple TV+ available on the Xbox and Playstation.

If Apple makes real forays into gaming I would expect a sort of cloud gaming service before I expect a full-fledged console. At best I think we can expect more tight integration of Apple Arcade into Apple TV with controller support.

I don't think the distinction being made is "nothing to pay attention to" but more "missing some of it isn't going to mean you lose out on what you do pay attention to."

This is a contrast to the whole super-serialized run of shows over the past 15 years or so, but I'm not convinced it's really that new, or unique to Netflix.

My parents used 60s->90s sitcoms and things like HGTV very similarly as background noise.

They say that the best way to learn something is to teach it, but it doesn't follow that the experience will be optimal for your students. Teaching well is quite hard.
The whole "information obeys the laws of physics" crap is just a fiction invented by modern physics to look cool in absence of any real progress for over a century, and to compete with software engineering.

Well, the Soviet Union really tried implementing all those fair progressive ideas the West is so excited about. So the periphery, where the land was abundant, had constant shortage of food and household items. And in Moscow, that had much larger supply quotas (why wouldn't the bureaucrats think about themselves, huh?) there was a massive shortage of living space. So, to make it fair and square, apartments were allocated based on a bunch of metrics that included "square meters per registered person".

The West is doing it in a more subtle way though. There is no National Bureau of Square Foot Planning, but the educated, financially independent suburban family with savings, that is trying to pass their ways to the kids, is no longer the role model. Instead, if your parents nagged your head inside out to do homework + extracurriculars + do STEM or GTFO, instead of watching TV and eating chips, you are privileged and must be ashamed of yourself. And if you represent a culture where packed multi-generational living is OK, you get visibility and a pat on the back to keep your ways, rather than strong pressure to raise your bar and shoot for the stars.
This post proves parent's point though.

You're not doing anything even remotely close to the features offered by cloud providers or even managed hosting providers.

Disaster recovery? Geographically separate redundant servers with failovers? Automated (and proven to work) backups? One-stop access control for infra maintenance? Audit controls for your database and storage objects? Tape backups?

Even today to support all those things you need a small army of specialists. Granted, a heck of a lot of things can get away with not having any of this. But the use cases are out there and hosting and maintaining all of that in-prem is another different level.

I understand your use case, but your is very, very far from the sheer and absolute complexity and features that enterprise data centers have.
I am sure they do discuss those things. This is why Google has onboarding training around not framing any communication around competition. The optimist in me says this is actually to help infuse a culture of good decision making and trying to combat this kind of monopolistic thinking. I guess there is another side to this that is not so good natured. I guess this is an argument around intent. Are they actually trying to be good, or hide evidence of being bad, by the highest level of these companies?

This is the same with disaster recovery too. The idea that "oh, our main DC went down, we'll just spin it up in another region" is great until you realize that means you need reserved instances in another zone, that just like another physical DC, you won't be using.
> honestly reminds me of a bunch of climate change deniers

What does this have to do with climate change? Ever consider getting help for your climate change addiction? "My daugher was a creative genuis, and then we introduced her to climate change." Apparently for some people, climate change isn't a science, it's a religion.

> So you have someone showing signs of addiction after using a device that was specifically designed to be addictive. Occam's razor really doesn't give a lot of room for alternative hypotheses here.

Could be that. Or maybe it's something else..."My husband and I said she could have a phone when she turned 14..."

It could be that the mother controlled her daughter's life and once she's hit puberty, she got a little bit rebellious. She wasn't so interesting in sewing as when she was 8 and needed her mother's approval. But now her priorities is friends, boys, etc?

It's a tale as old as time. Every child is a genius, angel, perfect until they hit puberty. Then we find "rock 'n roll", "rap music", "radio", "MTV", "television" or other culprits for corrupting our youth. Today it is social media. Tomorrow it will be VR. God knows what comes after that.

Maybe it's climate change. That's what causing these teenagers to become moody and rebellious.
You don’t need to go that far throughout history, children with severe mental or physical disabilities didn’t live long even half a century ago even in most developed nations they would be abandoned and for those that weren’t society didn’t had the facilities to support them.

Down and autism today seems so much more common simply because these individuals get the chance to live to and through adulthood.

These conditions don’t only affect people’s mental abilities they have a plethora of other health issues too.

75% of people with Down syndrome that die die from respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses as they suffer from immune system issues and frequent inflammation, with the current pandemic a lot of them have died because if they do get infected they are severely affected.

https://err.ersjournals.com/content/26/143/160098

Before modern medicine and the flu jab many of them wouldn’t survive a harsh flu season...

Heck before we knew what Down syndrome was most of them probably perished as infants from infections that healthy individuals would just shrug off.

In hacking healthcare I talk about "the incredible bandwidth of paper". That's still true. Without really first world software and hardware in a very modern physical setting it is difficult if not impossible to solve medical problems better than pen and paper can. In the practice of medicine pen and paper are really adequate tools to deliver quality care. It is in the business of medicine where large scale data necessitates and benefits from electronification.

> Additionally, rather than selling this as a mentoring/apprenticeship/internship program, you could consider selling it to employers as a _hiring_ program.

They do: "Add talented software engineers to your team for a 4 week trial at no cost for your company.", "We’ll help you onboard and deploy a talented software engineer or data scientist to your team for 4 weeks at no cost. At the end of the fellowship, you can hire your fellow with no recruiting fees."

Of course, the more convincingly they do this, the more it undermines their argument that it is a legal unpaid internship and not a violation of the primary beneficiary test, constituting wage theft under federal (and, separately, most state) labor law.

unless somebody hates on the business, not for their food or whatever, just hating the owner or a person there or whatever. than he makes a negative review and it's impossible to actually remove it. even if the comment just says "i don't like person XYZ". heck most people don't read reviews so they see this 3-3.5 star business and think it sucks (when it only has like 3 reviews)

basically google review is like the opposite of yelp. if somebody posts trash it will be their forever. even after the business died.

One could argue that it's pro-consumer since curation of apps supposedly protects them from apps with malicious intentions (yes, the execution of this isn't perfect). It also guarantees a level of software quality associated with their devices.

But what's obviously anti-consumer to me is the in app payment system. They take their 30% cut and forbid you from even hinting at alternative means to pay for something to use in an app.
Same experience.

Got a teenage girl an iPhone.

She became a horrible person. She lost it for a month. Became the Sweetest happiest person ever. Gave it back. Exact same mood shift.

Repeat for years.
It caused her such horrific depression. Mostly from social media drama.
As an adult she’s finally realizing how her mood shifts because of it.

Younger kids can get iPhones when they move out.

They are quite happy in life, although Dad is very unfair about phones.

I looked around on the site a bit and perused the source and I couldn't find the answer to my question: what sort of things are in the "advanced" epub version that aren't in the standard?
That is 9 :)

In effect it is yet another CRT and the idea is sound. But many times what I found was you may have one that works on say linux and windows and bsd. All the same 'code' but you dig under the covers a bit and it is a maze of ifdefs so each platform has its own quirks. For example threading between fork and createthread is on the surface not too different and you can wrap createthread with it (several libs did). But you dig into it a bit and you find portions that just do not map at all between the systems (usually with IPC and locks). At best they do not compile, slightly worse they return error codes, at worst they act like they work.

A real good example of what I am talking about is the pthread library. It works up to a point but it is a very linux/bsd orientated library. There are some gaps in there from windows that just do not map and the other way around. What is worse is the docs on some of these do not talk about cross platform issues. Luckily you can see the source code of most of them and can tell what is going on. Annoying but one of the things I learned moving code between platforms is that each one has its own way of doing things. You can try to work against it or sit down and unwind what is going on, which takes time. I have even seen this sort of issue in python and java. Where you get down to some low level thing and it just is different on different platforms.
Sure, but the management overhead from 1 server to 20 racks scales, at best, linearly. I've seen a lot of places just past the point where a single sys-ad person with a thumb drive is viable, yet they choose to not invest here and instead spend 2-5x on going to the cloud.
It's bigger than supporting her hobby. She's addicted to the phone, it's very clear, it drives her every action during the day. If her addiction was painting, and she had meltdowns from not finding her brush, or fighting with mom because she can't stay up late, her mom might have the same reaction.

The author obviously wanted to allow for a balance but it quickly grew out of control to the point where the only thing that mattered was her phone. That's not healthy, and that's not failing to support her hobby.
I tried to make a ML system to detect malware on a network. Kept coming back to what is basically the second and fourth points:

Rules and honeypots work better and more simply. A machine learning system will need to learn from something, continuously because malware will adapt to what the model learned previously. Every time you figure out a way to make it classify some traffic as malicious and other traffic not, you're basically writing the rule, except it's like beating a particularly retarded rat brain into figuring out and writing the rule for you.

For reference, the 2nd and 4th points are

> How do they know their test data is anything like real life data? How do they monitor system performance in the field?

> Ask them why they didn't take a simpler approach than the approach they took.

Making malware trigger rules is simpler and basically the result of #2.

How early is "way early"? Because as long as it's shorter than the two-three weeks it'd take to order boxes, rack them, provision them (which would be automated but might still take a afternoon), deal with any QA hiccups... I'd much rather call my AWS rep and say "can we add 30% by Thursday" and have them figure it out (and at such a large scale you might be able to spread it out across a couple regions anyway unless you only serve a specific part of the world).
The rule in our house is no electronics when the sun is up (on weekdays, we're a little more lax on weekends). So in the summer, that means very little TV time, and in the winter, a lot more.

That won't necessarily make the meters match. The sensors can be perfectly calibrated for CO2, but still read differently because most of the sensors are sensitive to a variety of other carbon-containing gasses.

Most consumer CO2 detectors use a sensor which measures the IR absorption of its surroundings. These sensors have varying cross-sensitivities to a bunch of other gasses including carbon monoxide, propane, alcohol, etc. Calibrating them for CO2 will not compensate for different responses to CO, which is much more IR-absorbent in many of the same frequency bands.
