> For a while now I had operated under the assumption that CPU-based crypto with AES-GCM was faster than most hardware offload cards. What makes the Mellanox NIC perform better?

> I.e.: Why does memory bandwidth matter to TLS? Aren't you encrypting data "on the fly", while it is still resident in the CPU caches?

It may depend on what you're sending. Netflix's use case is generally sending files. If you're doing software encryption you would load the plain text file into memory (via the filesystem/unified buffer cache), then write the (session specific) encrypted text into separate memory, then tell give that memory to the NIC to send out.

If the NIC can do the encryption, you would load the plain text into memory, then tell the NIC to read from that memory to encrypt and send out. That saves at least a write pass, and probably a read pass. (256 MB of L3 cache on latest EPYC is a lot, but it's not enough to expect cached reads from the filesystem to hit L3 that often, IMHO)

If my guestimate is right, a cold file would go from hitting memory 4 times to hitting it twice. And a file in disk cache would go from 3 times to once; the CPU doesn't need to touch the memory if it's in the disk cache.

Not that this is a totally different case from encrypting dynamic data that's necessarily touched by the CPU.

> You're basically complaining that you're unable to get a mere 10% of the expected throughput. But put in absolute terms, that's 40 Gbps, which is about 10x more than what a typical server in 2020 can put out on the network. (Just because you have 10 Gbps NICs doesn't mean you can get 10 Gbps! Try iperf3 and you'll be shocked that you're lucky if you can crack 5 Gbps in practice)

I had no problem serving 10 Gbps of files on a dual Xeon E5-2690 (v1; a 2012 CPU), although that CPU isn't great at AES, so I think it only did 8 Gbps or so with TLS; the next round of servers for that role had 2x 10G and 2690 v3 or v4 (2014 or 2016; but I can't remember when we got them) and thanks to better AES instructions, they were able to do 20 G (and a lot more handshakes/sec too). If your 2020 servers aren't as good as my circa 2012 servers were, you might need to work on your stack. OTOH, bulk file serving for many clients can be different than a single connection iperf.

> Google reads your e-mails to develop its ads.

Why do I care? That's the implicit bargain, I get a free service in exchange for ads. I don't care about the ads, they don't show up in my actual mail feed, just on the side so they're easy to ignore/block.

> Psychological profiles are collated from every click you take on each of these platforms and pulled into ad brokerships.

Why do I care? We build profiles of every person we meet in our heads. I'm a very open person.

> The people that are hired to do this profiling often have crossovers into government sectors, as this is just another form of surveillance.

Again, why do I care? I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I truly do not care if people know I looked at new Kias, or I use Old Spice deodorant. I don't find any of that information being out there harmful to me.

> I am personally shocked (not necessarily appalled) at anyone feeling OK with this level of scrutiny being applied to themselves at all the times by government bureaucrats, or companies just looking to make a buck off of your behavior without you even knowing. We're past the point where anyone can claim ignorance of these facts.

It's not that I'm ok with it, I simply don't CARE. It doesn't impact me in a negative way. There is no human out there looking at my buying/watching habits and taking notes, passing them on to men in trees with binoculars plotting to abduct me. There are machine learning algorithms using them to suggest things I might buy, or might want to watch on TV. They're right sometimes, so I actually get some value out of it.

I don't make it easy, I opt out of everything I can, but I also don't really care as long as I can not hook my TV to the network to avoid Samsung's built-in ads which is offensive bullshit and SHOULD be regulated, then I'm ok. When I go out into the world, I don't have any rights to who can see me who what they can learn about me, it's the same online. As long as I have the power to control what comes into my home, that's what matters. Outside, or out on the internet at large, I'm on someone else's property, and if I don't like their rules, I can leave.

There's a difference between watching me in public and forcing me to do things. One is your right which doesn't harm me, and the other is NOT your right because it CAN harm me.

There is a good difference between anticompetitive corporate practices (that may feel quasi authoritarian)

The ideology of fascism which divides people into camps of others/enemies and us/victims, portraying the 'other' as keeping "keeping us from returning to our rightful status, like in our glorious past". Fascism is usually used by a singular leader to sow fear and deep resentment that allows for social/political manipulation.

Both situations horrible of course, but in these times, it's good to be clear on their differences.

Time will show. I didn't want to argue about Ukraine, nobody cares about Ukraine, its fate is sealed.

I wanted to leave a prediction about approaching war. There will be an attack by USA. What still puzzles me is what would be the casus belli because after this year not many people outside of US believe in democracy in US. So, the usual argument: "We bomb X to bring democracy!" will hardly work.

Maybe there would be some kind of provocation, similar to 9/11. "Russia did it. We found a Russian passport where it happened!"

I think the situation is probably more interesting than deliberate anticompetitive evil. I bet that there was indeed some policy violation, and some minor bureaucrat is reasonably applying the policy, but in a way that misses the big-picture impact of doing so, for example threads of outrage high on Hacker News. The policies back them into being a monopolistic heavy whether they mean to or not, because they're so big that they basically have to rule the world and there's no mechanism for outsiders to have a say.

The real problem is that the policies are not adapting to rapidly changing conditions (i.e. yet another takedown, howls of outrage, calls for regulation), and the big tech companies have become too sclerotic to cope with that. Worse (for them), they're vulnerable to being gamed. Once people figure out that saying "Jehovah" triggers the policy, some will keep saying "Jehovah Jehovah Jehovah" just to fuck with them and grow the popular outrage.
Erm, do you realize you are talking about ads that are shown only to people who are searching the App Store?

You are absolutely correct, but the ratios of their availability, because they are a byproduct, all go up by the same proportion. It's hard to avoid excesses of the less useful ones with shortages of the more useful ones.

More useful ones being things like neodymium and erbium and cerium.

Once one of them is not being produced in sufficient quantity due to being a byproduct, then it gets really expensive. That's for sure.

(edited for clarity)
Only if it would be on the blockchain.
Good point, but I think the problem is almost always with the parsing of the advice. Receiver's perception and experience uniquely determines the degree of deviation in the interpretation. For eg. "Write short sentences" can be easily perceived as a dichotomy between fixed length vs variable length sentence, especially if you do not see the two categories, long and short, separately. Adding rhythm is merely a byproduct of noticing the recurring pattern and adjusting one's sentences. This is to say that the argument you make towards "short sentences" can also made towards your argument of writing "easy sentences".

We really can't. Smartphones are practically a mandatory part of modern life. My previous job required me to have one for tons of work-related authentication/software.

There is no choice outside Google/Apple when it comes to mobile devices. None which are fully compatible with a normal person's way of life, or which provides access to the same apps.

It may be technically possible to avoid them, but 'technically possible' and 'competitive alternative' are worlds apart.
I'm not tuned in enough to know the exact relationship between RH and DTCC.

I am tuned in enough to know there is a big difference between rolling up and asking for credit saying "Hey I've got X dollars in settled cash to buy Y. Please lend me some money." and saying "Hey I've lent out X dollars to buy Y. Please lend me some money."
A lot of people seem to believe that there’s much more to this than there really is.

Google has hired a bunch of 28 year old kids in HR and PR, that never used Usenet, that never used IRC, that barely remember AIM, that had a smartphone before they had their own laptop, that don’t understand the internet or technology.

And they’re the ones making these decisions. There aren’t rooms full of Google PMs and programmers and engineers debating the implications. It’s 3 or 4 kids in-between the ages of 24 and 34, and that room is increasingly technically illiterate, and increasingly unable to imagine an internet before (or after) FAANG hegemony.

This isn’t Google being evil to protect advertising dollars, or to kill Matrix, etc.

It’s google hiring young, unimaginative, uninteresting social justice warriors. We’ve taken for granted that most of the people working in FAANG have been using computers for longer than these companies existed. That’s no longer really the case, and the attitudes of these companies are going to continue to change further and further from the unique values that the industry used to represent. In ten years it’s going to be worse, and in 30 it’s going to be unrecognizable.

>Is this google starting to test the waters when it comes to arbitrarily kicking out software they personally don't like? (open source, decentralized, privacy oriented etc.)

Absolutely. They've done similar things with similar apps. You just have to pay some attention to see the pattern.

Let's take video for example. They Kicked LBRY client off Play store not so long ago. (It eventually got reinstated.) They permanently banned BitChute app. Not app-related, but currently Rumble is suing Google for manipulating video search results in favor of YouTube. Look up the details, they are quite interesting.

Meanwhile, Google has an agreement with all Android hardware providers that forces them to pre-install YouTube and make it non-removable.

Either (a) this is not true, or (b) this is an opportunity for reform.

From the customer's perspective, the cash is provided up front and is tied up after the trade is made. The type of collateral requirement you are describing -- above and beyond and separate from what the customer has already provided -- seems to serve no purpose, and is being used against the customer.

I know there are a lot of antiquated processes and rules involved in the financial system, like waiting several days for a "wire transfer" to go through, so I'm not too skeptical that things are actually this broken.
The only fix I know for this is joining the computer to a domain, and using your domain account.
One idea I haven’t seen discussed, which I think is interesting although politically intractable:

What if we allocated doses geographically, with a goal of (1) getting some regions fully reopened and back to work immediately, but also (2) establishing a sort of inverse quarantine zone where we’ve stamped out COVID and keep it to zero.

Again I think in the real world this won’t work because we already have shown the western world largely won’t obey quarantines / lockdowns etc.

But if our primary goal was to eliminate the disease - which seems worthwhile if we could pull it off - then a geographic approach might be more effective than a distributed approach.

Specifically, I think you’d have a better chance of getting vaccination rates into the 90% range and subsequently via travel restriction keep these green zones clean so that even those who refuse the vaccination aren’t acting as a reservoir for it.
I think I don't.

Sometimes I get notifications, sometimes it may take hours for me to get the notification.

Well, if food prices go up too much, I will moderate my eating. Or change from meat to oatmeal.

Similar for a bank. If deposits or interbank funds become to hard to come by, they'll curtail lending.

In any case, it seems like we mostly agree on what's actually happening.

(Though just to make sure, do you understand and/or agree on the scenario where there are no legal reserve requirements?)

Our main difference is in whether we treat 'banks lend deposits' as a valid description.

Btw, you are right that strictly speaking banks don't have to have reserves on hand in the logical second when they make the loan. But they do almost immediately need the reserves (eg deposits) when the debtor starts spending.
I don't really want to go to Android, but as was pointed out above, at least side loading is possible. Everyone still can get Element right now, even though Google has banned it from their store. But if Apple banned it, I'd be immediately unable to get it.
Notably absent here is the fact that planes can land themselves. In fact the plane can do everything on its own besides taxi on the runway and takeoff...most of the time.

The properties of Freenet you describe are extremely intriguing.

However, I'm asking about your description of Tor and I2P

>However as they're both communication networks they do not provide censorship-resistance. The endpoints you're connecting to are central servers and can be taken down.

This is technically incoherent, and I'm not sure what you mean by it.

As far as I'm aware, at no point does your TCP traffic from your tor client connect to a 'central server'. I'm not familiar enough with I2P to comment.
Another part of this is that our TVs are getting brighter or have higher contrast ratios. If we don't allocate more bits for the full range of brightness, we get things like banding in dark scenes. Real about eotfs
>Well, it CAN vary quite a lot theoretically, but that’s why there are guidelines on how to measure a cup of flour. So says my baker mom, and so says the internet.

Where baking is done can override volumetric measuring, even with sound, consistent technique. I'm a professional bread baker working at altitude in a low humidity environment. One cup of flour for me will weigh less than a cup for someone in a high humidity area. Parents and grandparents passing down volumetric recipes in the past were unlikely to experience inconsistent baking/cooking outcomes because back in the day succeeding generations were apt to remain in the same geographic area.

I'm sorry, but I really don't know what you're arguing for at this point. The original claim is that God is tantamount to a dictator, as far as I understand it. This is false for the reasons I've stated. Augustus Caesar and Jeff Bezos may have some things in common, but that doesn't make one exchangeable for the other. For that matter, a king, a lord, and a dictator are all very different things, again with historical roots. They are not interchangeable concepts, even if a random uneducated person on the street may think so.

> "the majority of Christians."

There is no such thing, especially for a complex theological issue like free will. The Catholic Church, major Protestant sects, and the Eastern Orthodox church all have different views.

> Basically if you can prove that Christianity reinterprets the word "lord" and "king" to mean something other than the colloquial definition of the term "dictatorship" and that the "majority of Christians" believe that definition then you're right.

Yes, that is not the case, again, for basic theological reasons. For one, the relationship of Christians to secular power has been a complex one.

On the one hand, you have Jesus saying "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." On the other you have the divine right of kings, which argues for the opposite.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Render_unto_Caesar

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_right_of_kings

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God_in_Christianity

I'm sorry, but again, this is a complex theological question that many Christian thinkers have weighed in on over the years. It's really not the kind of issue one can solve in a HN comment and your constant "if you don't prove it now, you're wrong" is exactly the kind of ignorance I'm referring to. It isn't that simple.

I don't have much else to say. Religion is complicated and not easily summarized in "But do X people think Y?"
