While the actual videos seem to be ok, the title here is very misleading.

1. As far as I can tell, the author is a professor in the sense "he's good at teaching", but not as in "college/university professor". It matters not because of credentialism (again, quality seems ok), but because it misleads on the intentions of the channel: The channel is very prolific (1+ video per day) and clearly going for maximized views (meme-filled thumbnails with big captions), complete with donations, Patreon, and merch store (you can buy a t-shirt). Nothing wrong with it, but if an institution allows that kind of moonlighting, I'm interested!

2. The course is a playlist with 4 long livestream videos (2h, 3h, 3h, 4h). Still impressive, but it's not what the title is trying to imply.

Overall, it's hard not to call clickbait.
I have used WeAreDevelopers for my job hunts since I prefer curation over quality. On LinkedIn anybody can post a job ad. On WeAreDevelopers you atleast know that there is a selection process behind it.

It's because AT&T does not follow net neutrality. It has fast lanes and slow lanes, which cause a lot of problems for work VPNs even when down the street. This TLS handshake bit flip is just yet another issue AT&T has, including the 1.1.1.1 DNS issues, and everything else.

I'm on Sonic.net fiber over AT&T too. To get the equivalent fiber from Comcast out here it's $270 a month. However, if you're lucky enough Sonic.net fiber that doesn't run over AT&T is amazing.

Agreed, this is fascinating and potentially huge. This comes months after the Pentagon released UFO footage for the first time (not necessarily alien, but unidentified). Wonder if there could be a coordinated effort to slowly disseminate the information to the public slowly instead of all at once.

Contrary to that, local profitable markets like Manhattan have had significant entrants eat away at Uber’s market share with companies like Juno scooping up the best customers and drivers. The same thing happened in many cities in the early 20th century before streetcar operators managed to get jitney cabs (the unlicensed pool taxis of their day) banned because too many teens would borrow the family car after school and drive in front of streetcars on profitable lines and scoop riders for nickels instead of dimes.

Uber and Lyft have a de facto duopoly amongst those hopping off planes because it’s hard to know that there are any other local options available.

Yeah I don't get it when people say SF is "walkable".

No, Toronto is walkable. It's flat, dense, everything is close by, and clean. I'd be content to walk 45-50 mins to get somewhere.

In SF, I dread having to walk, bike or take public transit anywhere. It's unpleasant, unsafe, smells horrible and there's rampant petty crime. And not just one district, it's like that in most of the areas you need to go to

I could be wrong, but I'd worry about earthquakes severing the lines.

This map[0] shows the major faults, but each one of those is a lot of small minor faults that all could snap things and shift. One small fault right by where I grew up is about three blocks long. Last I checked had one earthquake to its name: a magnitude 5.0 aftershock of Loma Prieta

I'll assume by "majority/minority" you mean a network partition where at least half plus one nodes are still able to elect a leader, while the remainder are not.

In vanilla Raft, reads are appended to the Raft log like writes are. This means in order to commit a write, the client and the leader on the "majority" side will update the value as normal. The second client will either be unable to find a leader to contact at all, or if it is connected to an old leader, the leader will not be able to replicate the log entry necessary to service the read from the second client.

There are lease optimizations that rely on bounded clock error that allow for performing reads from the leader without appending entries to the log. Note this relies on the rate at which the clock advances, not the actual time.

There are also optimizations from Paxos research that would allow reading from the followers, but those also require contacting the leader at minimum.

In summary, Client One will succeed and Client Two will fail.
In such a litigious society it's amazing Verizon can't be held to account for this, and at the very least be forced to pay back the money.
Urgh. I wasted an hour or two trying to debug my local network due to this.
The Art of Deception and The Art of Intrusion by Mitnick were interesting to me when I read them a long time ago. They really show how important humans are to a system.

I think greed and hedonic adaptation can also lead to this. There's no monopoly on some of the lesser angels of human nature.

That link is assuming that the ends justify the means, which I tend to believe is the road to evil. In this case, there are more foundational principals that would take precedence.

A caveat on the caveat about cars - I live without a car in the suburbs just fine (Sunnyvale). YMMV, but for me a car would be more of a nice to have. I'll probably get one in a few years anyway after maybe buying a house here, but it's not something I view as an urgent expense.

It's true that Iran has an interest in convincing its people that Israel is using unstoppable weapons, to cover its own security failures.

It's also true that Israel and the US have an interest in denying news reports about secret technology that they may use in order to kill people.
Hair raising. Thoroughly enjoyed reading the article. Now someone needs to make this into a game :)
Sources are publications, so things are proven by what established media says. Difficulty arises when publications are more likely to repeat a narrative than originate it (herd safety). As such the problem becomes: "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one" - only now echoed in an supposedly neutral "pedia".

Notability is the same problem: something is notable if there is published media about it, otherwise not so. My perception is relevance and truth are being outsourced to 3rd parties based on whether or not you blog post has corporate registration.
I also expect AI drivers to be safer than human drivers ... in about 50 - 250 years.

I think humans are really poorly prepared to make accurate "100" year predictions.

Otoh, we're pretty bad at 10 year ones too - the original self driving hype being a prime example. Lots of otherwise intelligent people fell into magical thinking there.
Because you have to start somewhere and by paying $2k today for a few screws inserted in the USA you hopefully prove the demand for full manufacturing to be supplied in the USA. And hopefully not just in the USA, centralising the entire worlds manufacturing capacity in one region is not particularly anti-fragile.
Same reason your comment appears in grey - they'd rather not be censored.
It's pretty clear what you're getting, though. If for no other reason than the fact that the resold ATT service costs 2x what "native" Sonic fiber does.

I'm on the preorder list for Sonic, for the past.. almost 2 years now. In the meantime, I'm using resold ATT through Sonic. $10/mo more than ATT directly, but no MITM and no data caps.

And times have changed. The spread of skill levels has increased with better players getting better, and more and more new players.

As well as more structured games that are not 10v10, but rather smaller 5v5 or 6v6 games, where each player can make a difference.

Cheaters are better at hiding too. Toggling aimbot for a quick kill or two isn't enough to arouse suspicion, and can be passed off as a lucky headshot. Just because you think you've never run into a cheater doesn't mean you haven't.

On the other hand, a really skilled player might be good enough to make you believe he is cheating. Getting vote kicked or banned out for that is not good either.
I would say that, when I think about it occasionally, I am kind of scared by the possibility that someone will hack into all the self-driving machines (from a particular vendor) and make them all do something terrible at once—before anyone has time to deploy countermeasures.

> Running arbitrary code on a distributed network of end user PCs

It's a bit more complicated than that.

I run gitlab and gitlab runners for a living, I can tell.

First thing first, you'd have to register a runner with a specific project. So no "arbitrary code".

Second thing, unless you can push a branch to the project main repository, no pipeline is ran. So for your own personal forks you'd either rely on gitlab.com-provided free minutes or you run your own runner (and tbh, it's fairly easy).

Last thing: you should not think of regular end-users. Think of middle to advanced users, that have a home server or something like that (homelabbers?).
I know people with Palo Alto Fiber running to their house. They were hosting websites out of their garage years ago (I think archive.org for a while.), but today it's just residential, so it's very much possible.
The Xbox Series X (retail price $499) uses a 7nm SOC, where the GPU has 12 TFLOPS of single precision performance. The fastest single GPU Apple sells on the Mac Pro is 14 TFLOPS (with a step-up fee of $2,400!).

There doesn't seem to be any reason why Apple couldn't integrate a 16 TFLOPS GPU on an SOC using a 5nm or better process. The M1 GPU is 2.6 TFLOPS, they can x6 or more it, and obviously change the memory subsystem (HBM?).
@dang only works if Dang happens to read the article comments as part of his work, which isn't always guaranteed. You'll want to email mod requests like this to HN, using the Contact link in the footer, when you think a change needs to be made.
Right now? Probably not a whole lot.

Eventually once the software is more refined, there are definitely some features worth adopting for. The kill-switches are a decent feature, and I would love to have something like that on every phone (especially the cam & mic one, since I don't tend to put tape over my phone cameras!).

For the Pinephone, the hope is that one day you'll be able to buy one (or some successor) and be able to load whatever distro you want on it. It's vastly easier to work with than installing a custom bootloader, and then flashing a new version of Android. So as far as that goes, there's a lot to be desired.
I'm always amazed at how often cops approach every day tasks with weapons drawn. Reading the article (and being aware of the ongoing story) there's no indication (to me) that there would be any hostility facing the officers. Thus it is easy to draw a conclusion of threat escalation from the police towards a citizen (if this is the wrong conclusion to draw then the police need to do a lot more work to justify their actions and explain why they thought there was a threat, because right now no one should buy that). This is unacceptable gun behavior in any environment and goes against conventional training (I'm sure there are gun users here or people who at least shot in the boy scouts or something). I mean officer #2 even appears to have his finger on the trigger (officer #1 doesn't). There's a rule "never point a weapon at something you do not intend to destroy." Pointing a weapon at a person indicates they are willing to destroy (kill) that person. This is unacceptable in non-violent cases where there is not an equal force against them. I just can't imagine the training they get. It makes me feel like Surviving Edged Weapons[0] is, at least in spirit, used. [1]

I've seen a lot of people with bad trigger control and not knowing proper gun safety, but I've seen it far too often from police. The acceptable level of this for police is zero and it isn't even close to that.

[0] This is a cult classic for "Bad" movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4ZpyKSmgdE

[1] From what I've seen, it does still seem like they do similar training that is highly fear based. As in "you could die at any second. It is you or them" and does not reflect the reality that being a cop is relatively safe. At least that narrative is not in the public domain. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-06-23/how-da...
"humanity isn't ready" is classic conspiracy theory. It means "we the (secret) governments are in control of the situation". Especially with the moon base. It's a classic comforting and chaos limiting conspiracy theory giveaway.

To consider it possible implies you think it's possible for our governments to collaborate and keep things secret for our own benefit.

I believe that if there were aliens that mankind will do just fine, no panic, in fact the existence of a real "other" maybe something the species might need.
The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York earned Robert Caro a Pulitzer prize for biography. I'm reading the first of his 5 part (and counting?) biography of Lyndon Johnson which I also highly recommend.

> But even so, what are we supposed to do? Quit our jobs, abandon our livelihoods, and take to the streets

If necessary yes. Your forefathers fought hard to earn you your democratic and associated rights that you have all taken for granted. And that's why its slow erosion has only now made you start to feel a bit uncomfortable. So yes, you too need to start asserting for your rights.

And no, to begin with you don't need to quit your job and take to the streets.

Start by writing letters to the political parties of your country. Start by making your local politicians aware that you feel the government isn't concerned about your rights as a consumer. Escalate and urge others in your network to do the same. And move on from there. Democracy is designed to slow down political changes because abrupt political changes also has a lot of chaos. Initially you will only have to spend maybe an hour or two a week to do the above. As more and more people support you, and you all work together, this may increase to 5-10 hours a week depending on how much you are willing to commit yourself. Once a political party latches on to your issue, it then becomes a lot easier - join it or offer issue-based support to them. (Yes, often it is all quite boring and just takes patience and dedication. That's democracy - it is often boring participating in it, but still worth it).
