There's concrete predictions laced in there, in the vocabulary of TA, or technical analysis. The self-aware who practice this call it 'horoscopes with funny lines', the premise is drawing trend lines based on different sets of historical data, using that to draw a conclusion about pricing over some time period X, then noting the consequences of the trend line shifting up or down.

So, they're predicting both sides of movement because they're interested in the slope of the trendline dividing those sides and the time-frames they're analyzing, not the sides themselves.

One example that clarified it for me is a purely degenerate case, the stock went from 1 to 0 over all possible timeframes. In that case, all trendlines are purely vertical, all trendlines are the same for all timeframes, so the fact it can only move up is obvious, and contrasting trendliness is uninteresting.

However, in other cases, (say, a small medical research company that has been on the market for a decade but recently produced the singular vaccine for a massive pandemic, but has an expensive and novel manufacturing process that makes it 5x the cost of competitors possible solutions), contrasting trendlines for the last two months versus last decade is very informative for comparing the case in which the vaccine market becomes competitive, versus the monopoly it "is" today.

Noting the signal we'll receive about the 'class' of price movement, based on both directions the price could move, is very helpful and necessary for judging the TA after the time period plays out.
I live here in USA. I'd like to think I and my many fellow pacifists can do something about our behavior. I have zero effect on China, and most of their more recent supposed misdeeds are straight-up propaganda bullshit anyway. Compare their methods in Africa with ours. We send in AFRICOM, flood the zone with weapons and ammunition, undermine and eventually murder any democratically-elected leader who supports socialism on the level of e.g. Germany, etc. The Chinese hire locals to build factories and then they hire and train more locals to work in those factories.

Any time I hear the word "abhorrent" I think of all the Native Americans, enslaved Africans, Filipinos, Guatemalans, Colombians, Indonesians, Vietnamese, Afghans, etc. whose lives were ground up in the gristmill of USA capitalism.
Which experts got it right?

The Swedish epidemiological team? The state of Florida epidemiological team?

Both regions of whom had better outcome per capita with less Covid restrictions than numerous states who followed the mainstream 'experts' advice.

How do you measure 'got it right'?

In more precise mathematical language, RDRAND isn't meant for random numbers, it's for an arbitrary number.

No. See for example 42 USC 5207 at the federal level. The southern states I’m familiar with have similar provisions, unsure of others.
Keep an eye out for Mazzer ones (Super Jolly or Luigi, but other models are also great).
They are indestructible as far as I can tell. While there are better ones out there, there aren’t many that are as inexpensive second hand, whilst also being easy to get parts and instructions for.

> far in the range of diminishing utility.

it probably is because of distortions in the flow of money

> Put it another way, if the number of HFT trades were suddenly cut in half, what 1st order impacts would be felt by people outside those markets?

it would probably result in capital markets taking longer to account for changes in the market/world such as shortages. Then the capital markets that weren't subject to the restriction would be more competitive as a whole. Depending on the specifics, it might open the door to people with relevant information (who weren't hf traders) to begin to make some of those trades.

> The heart of the "but we're providing liquidity" argument is that this is a service provided that has real value outside the market. If that's not true the particular argument falls apart, doesn't it?

I don't use the liquidity form of the argument because I think it focuses on the wrong things. Capital markets affect the rest of the markets by optimizing the creation and maintenance of capital. All consumer goods rely on capital. So policies that make the capital markets less efficient would have broad downstream effect in commodities markets, essentially there would be in aggregate fewer goods.
What are you trying to trade that has a bid of (near) $0 and ask of $5? Most stocks are generally way more liquid. Also you'll find you can get hit at/near the midpoint even when the bid/ask spread is large. (Which makes sense ... as long as you offer a price slightly worse than what the theoretical pricing model dictates ... why wouldn't the market makers want to trade against you?)
Also consider that top athletes can only sustain that level of pay for max 10y while engineers generally can increase their comp for much longer. All in all I don’t think it’s a good comparison bc film/sport industries have constrained supply and demand - there’s only so many teams/films each year and only so many players/credited roles.

I'm really looking forward to an IPv6 future with no NAT. My hope is it will empower people to easily host websites from home, make peer-to-peer connections, and generally own their stack.

Example: you want to access a home camera (or other IOT device) from your phone. Right now I don't see how to build this as FOSS without any third party or privacy concerns. With static IPv6 addresses it should be pretty easy.
Doing anything for the "greater good" doesn't get you anything besides being a folk hero. There are very few if any folk heroes that ever "triumphed" over the state.
The design is also more decentralized than Tor. It's also been a while, but I think the client runs a router node by default. This provides extra anonymity, because your own traffic is hidden in the other traffic you're routing. As I recall, the security/performance tweaks in the Web UI allowed you to set how much traffic you allowed through your node.
> and as an open world city it’s a shallow clone of a GTA game

I have played about 200 hours of the game on Ultra with Ray Tracing and this is the only point I disagree on. The graphics and beautiful design of the city is _the_ major accomplishment of this game. It's significantly more dense in terms of graphical fidelity and polygon count. I found myself often just ignoring the actual gameplay and parkouring around the beautiful city.

I can't speak to the ps4 version really, but I've seen screenshots and as far as I can tell they somehow made it look like a PS3 game. I don't think I could make it look that bad on PC even if I turned everything to low.
...upon request, on a per-customer basis.

Other ISPs already block websites at customer request, for a fee. The news is that they are going to block these websites for customers for free.
I didn’t hear a peep from them about the violence. And silence is complicity right?

I mean Biden kept getting direct questions about the violence and he refused to condemn it until it got so bad it was hurting him in the polls.

Just like the Right is trying to explain away the Capitol Riots the left tried explain away the Antifa riots.
That is her point: this power belongs to government, not to corporations. DW did not include that part, but other outlets did: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-11/merkel-se...

>“The chancellor sees the complete closing down of the account of an elected president as problematic,” Steffen Seibert, her chief spokesman, said at a regular news conference in Berlin. Rights like the freedom of speech “can be interfered with, but by law and within the framework defined by the legislature -- not according to a corporate decision.”
I mean, people did just invade the Capitol for the first time in 200 years, trying to kill Congress. Seems kinda different than your other examples.
The problem is that even newspapers have clickbait titles now a days - e.g. "I talked continuously for 5 hours. This is what happened."

This two sentence headline style is very jarring to me. Almost like it insults my intelligence.
I think TCP keepalives are conceptually the best though. As your problem occurs at the transport level, not the application layer.

This way you solve it where the issue occurs, and with the added benefit that it works for all TCP connections, not just SSH.

However I haven't had this issue. My isp is pretty ok in this regard and I supply my own router. So I don't know if there's issues with this in real life.
Sorry, when I started your comment did not exist yet. And after editing, I forgot my original. Best I could do reasonably is add `EDIT` prefix.
This was a great solution and execution under pressure. You might consider TiDB in the future when you have some breathing room to consider a new operational model. It is MySQL compatible, open source, and can scale writes horizontally as traffic increases by just adding additional nodes. Disclaimer: I work at PingCAP, the creator of TiDB.
I tend to be pretty disdainful of HN's hysteria towards social media, mainly because it's fairly easy to use each platform in healthy ways.

But I fully agree with this analogy. The average person isn't hyper-analytical about the choices they make, from media consumption to diet to the amount and quality of their online time, and the default usage path of social media is fraught with I'll effects for both the user and society. And that's to say nothing of generation being raised on these services, who have far less of an ability to resist specific usage patterns when they start (similar to teen smoking).
A neutron is a wave with particle-like properties, primarily a (near-)singularity which, when interacted with -- i.e., observed -- seems to have a response which hints at a quantization of the available energy in the system.
Thanks for the false flag
I remember a march of millions to protest Trump. And I remember riots all summer. It's unfortunate that those people succeeded in storming the Capitol, but I see it more as a coincidence than specific to Trump fans. BLM tried to take down federal buildings, too.

And what would be the point of taking over more capitols? It's not as if as soon as you occupy the capitols, you magically get to control the country. All that will remain from last week is some people being thrown in jail (or worse).

So no, I don't see it as a credible threat.
It reminds me of how incredibly everyone handled the election fraud claims.

The media's method was apparently to loudly and forcefully deny them as quickly as possible.

So you had Giuliani come out and give his press conference laying out what they were allegedly going to prove. Immediate response is that they have no evidence. But they said explicitly that they were going to provide the evidence soon, once they'd finished preparing to present it.

Then they come out to present all of this witness testimony and the response while it's happening is that they're repeating already debunked claims. Already debunked because they hadn't previously provided anything like witness testimony to support them.

So now even if the claims are bunk, these media outlets have forcefully denied them at a point in time when they clearly couldn't have known that yet. Which destroyed their credibility to deny the claims later, once there had actually been enough time to evaluate them.

Which increased the number of people believing the claims to a degree that tech companies started censoring them. So now you're here:

> "they wouldn't censor us if it wasn't true!"

Impossible for anyone to convincingly deny the claims at this point because you've created the impression among believers that the truth is being suppressed. Because that's what censorship does.

Made a thousand times worse because it was right after notoriously censoring the NY Post over an article that turned out to be true, destroying their ability to claim that they were only censoring things that were false.

Who else thinks this isn't going well?
As I said, feel free to do it yourself. It's enlightening - it removes idealism and makes you formulate strategies that are practical.

If you get the practice right, maybe we can get to the ideals.

I've already been wrongfully censored, life goes on.
'Experts' often disagree.
Which makes you wonder if the whole system is actually invalid.
Experts are merely one data point, at the end of the day you have to look at the entirety of the data yourself to make a decision.

The conspiracy theorist Alex Jones urged Trump supporters not to attack police and to move to the east side of the Capitol. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said Mr. Jones urged rioters attacking the Capitol to move forward. (Corrected on Jan. 8)

It doesn't matter if your feed is filled with mostly animals and math jokes. Facebook/YouTube or any social media provider will still send you one video that is not based on your profile under certain circumstances. Have you ever stumbled upon a video where you have comments like:

1. I don't know how I got here. I was watching some [insert something innocent here]

2. Thanks [service] for recommending me this video after 10 years of it being uploaded

3. Is [service] trying to tell me something? Am I going to die? Why am I being recommended this [horrible/violent/repugnant video]?

4. I am on the wrong side of [service] again.

And many more.

If you have ever come across such comments on any videos you watch it just is the algorithm deciding to show you something completely unconnected to the profile it built about you. Why? Because these services don't like creating silos of information where users with affinity to that silo flock to. They can't make money that way because the number of advertisers for that niche may be very less. The algorithm then decides that you need to be shown other niches too. Keeps trying until you see multiple videos in a particular niche. Then it builds a new profile about you with that niche added in. This is the rabbit hole which is so hard to avoid. Once you fall into it, it is not easy to come out of.

Now if your feed is filled with only animals and math jokes that is because you fall into a big enough bucket that these services don't bother showing you anything else. Even if you occassionally click on something political, violent or clickbaity. There are enough advertisers in your bucket for them to make their moolah. You are just lucky... For now. But if popularity for animal videos tanks tomorrow don't be surprised if these services recommend videos titled "Shocking accident caught on tape! You won't believe what happened next". That's how the downward spiral begins!
Couple things - most options trade a spread of 1-3% depending on how far from the money they are and how near expiration. Option interest also follows interest in the underlying.

In a less traded issue - I guaranty the real price is not $0/$5, it is just nobody has bothered to show interest yet (and sometimes brokers do not provide the true market). Assuming you have a reasonable idea of where the bid should be, low ball it a little and put an order in. Like magic, you'll be joined by a few hundred contracts and in fact, probably out bid. An offer may also appear too.
When my company started, we used tmux in PROD as a process supervisor. We had tons of lines like:

while true; do ./runserver; sleep 10; done

in a shell script that would start a new server with one window per process. It got called from /etc/rc.local on boot IIRC.

Deploys meant pulling the new code on the server (or maybe just editing it in vim right there), then just Ctrl-C in every terminal (or when I got lazier, `killall runserver`).

This was back in 2010 or so... I have professionally come a long way in the intervening decade, and no longer have any PROD services running in tmux panes, but I definitely learned to love that tool.

No, not Orwellian at all.

I want to theoretically be able to read anything anybody has to say and judge for myself.
How so, when at other times, people succeeded in killing the president? And there is no proof yet of anybody trying to kill Congress anyway. Also no proof that leftist rioters would not have wanted to kill anybody if they had succeeded in storming certain buildings.
The Last of Us 2, RDR 2 and many other games run on that same hardware and look significantly better than the PS4 version of the game.

I don't think it's a stretch to say people expected it to at least look better than it does.

Do you literally mean a website? Using a browser? What’s an example website that would go past that?
I think for the ASCII/Latin characters you selected you’re probably right, but the moment you’re matching Unicode explicitly or characters in the Unicode range implicitly (JS strings are always Unicode), those substitutions may become more complex and deoptimize (or just require additional engineering effort).

Rate Limiting and Rate Slowing Down in Express.js in 3 Minutes
The first two points have to do with the fact that if you do the whole process only with symmetric primitives you are only spliting the traditional salted hash into two computations one of which then becomes essentially redundant. If client uses deterministic salt, then whatever you send over the wire is equivalent to password and constant for every authentication. If server sends random challenge which is then hashed by client together with something derived from users password then whatever value that is stored on server in order to check validity of the response is sufficient to fake the response (and also essentially equivalent to plaintext password as it has to be derived from it in some deterministic manner independent of the random salt/challenge). That is to say, the protocol has to be somewhat more complex than that and involve asymetric cryptography to solve both of these issues at once.

There is no technical reason why this could not be implemented in pure JS (and there is lot of things that do something like that with varying complexity and security properties). But there is the question of exactly what is the threat model where the server is trusted to provide implementation of code that defends against compromise of that exact same server.

And as for the UX/UI issue of browser-based security: for security features like this to be truly secure the user has to be sure that he is interacting with the native browser/OS UI and not with something that can be intercepted by JS (or some other untrusted code). This is the reason why various parts of browser UI cannot be hidden, why legitimate permission popups overlap browser toolbar and the idea behind Ctrl-Alt-Del in Windows NT. Such UI by design cannot look as part of your website/application which both confuses even technical users and annoys marketing people because of added friction.

Also what didn't help adoption of any kind of more secure authentication for public facing websites is that in IE the resulting UI was ugly, inconvenient and in some cases downright broken (eg. dialog box used to confirm that you really wanted to use certificate from PKCS#11 token not only didn't say what for, it didn't say anything except “Error! Yes/No”).

The number of people repeating misinformation isn't really relevant. You really seem to leverage many various fallacies, like slippery slope and argument from incredulity. My exact statement was, in context to the facts about white supremacy and far right extremists, both groups having a well documented presence at the attempted coup, that when social networks' legal/liability or moderation teams take action on the precise content that was used to foment a coup, it's not terribly shocking from a legal perspective. You seem to be shocked though, why is that?
1k certainly seems absurdly small considering how much RAM routers likely have, the fact that they can use most of it, and the amount of data needed for a single connection table entry (2 bytes external port, 2 bytes internal port, 4 bytes internal IP adds up to 8 bytes per entry, even being very generous at 16 bytes including overhead, that's still only 16K --- on a device that likely has several MB if not more, and whose primary function is likely NAT.
> As a kernel developer, your code must be robust against all failure modes.

Systemd implemented RDRAND precisely because the kernel was previously not robust against all failure modes regarding to /dev/urandom - early boot may block indefinitely if there's a lack of adequate inputs (the fallback in-kernel jitter entropy collector was introduced many years later, in 2019). Also, the failure of RDRAND was virtually unheard of [0] at that time when that decision was made. It's why I said the decision was reasonable back then [1].

I agree that the context has changed after AMD's first RDRAND incident and that decision has became less reasonable.

[0] At least for non-crypto purposes, like systemd's uses. Compromised RDRAND is always a concern among cryptographers, but totally broken RDRAND was not.

[1] BTW, I bet implementing an entropy gathering code and a randomness algorithm in systemd would probably cause greater amount of criticism.
