I wouldn't be surpised if there are over 50k individuals in the US with the electronics/computer knowledge to pull this off. All it takes is one person to develop an obsession with it and spend the time needed to pull it off. If you look at a 10-20 year time frame I'd say there's a high certaintity that someone commits a terror attack via a large number of drone.

The saving grace here is that people who want to terrorise often aren't the same with these skills IMO. If you have the skill/knowledge to make a drone swarm you probably have other valuable skills, have a good job and live comfortably. Lower chances of radicalisation.

For me their greatest similarity is structural, and it is not so much that they are similar to each other; rather, they both differ in similar ways from what we usually think of as the canonical form of composition in classical music - specifically, the sonata form, which prevailed precisely during the period just after Bach and just before Glass.

In the music of Mozart or Beethoven, for example, you have a primary leading melodic voice, and the music is organized by the progression of chords that support the main melody. This is why they wrote such good concertos.

In Glass and in Bach, the music is more "textural" as it were, but for different reasons. In Bach's case, owing to his use of polyphony, the shape of his musical ideas is distributed in the harmonic interactions between independent voices, each with its own melody. In Glass's case, we don't typically find voice leading, but repeating arpeggios.

For what it's worth, in my opinion pretty much everything of value in Glass he took from Steve Reich, and I have yet to meet a single Glass composition that doesn't seem implicit in Reich's "Piano Phase".
Urgh! With SMTP it is even worse, because people talk about “SSL” vs “TLS” in the config dialogs.

But they don't actually mean SSL vs TLS. They mean a TLS connection (like HTTPS uses) vs StartTLS (where you start out SMTP plaintext then negotiate TLS as an extension.

So basically Austin is experiencing today what we San Franciscans have been suffering through since the web 2.0 boom began in 2008. I remember when they built yuppy condos next to the DNA lounge and the new tenants immediately joined the “War on Fun” and began trying to get the DNA shut down.

Before you know it, everyone here on HN will be labeling austinites as “greedy nimby’s”, complaining about being made to feel uncomfortable by acknowledging the homeless problem, and complaining that Austin isn’t exactly like whatever place it is they moved away from to go to Austin while seeking their startup millions.

>With fixed pricing tiers I know that's when I'm at the lower usage end I'm paying over the odds, and when I'm at the upper end I have the problem you describe of not wanting to exceed my usage and move up a large price-step.

True, that can be an issue, as well, but once you're an enterprise at a sufficiently large size and are pretty much always guaranteed to be in the highest tier anyway, the flat monthly price can often be a lot less costly.

For the record, the main product I'm referring to in this case is Splunk. Excellent product that I love using (and still often use the free tier of for personal use), but I know a lot of companies have moved away from it due to the cost.

I think logging doesn't necessarily scale that closely with company size, revenue, how many people are using the product, how many actual machines you have, etc. A competent, motivated, small team at a small company with not that many systems could end up logging a lot more events per day than a much bigger team at a much bigger company with many more systems. Especially if the team is specifically focused on logging for security purposes.

And in this case, the variable pricing is arbitrary rather than a response to an actual increase in cost: the product is hosted on-site and maintained internally, with us also covering costs for the server cluster and resources, so it's not like there's any kind of marginal cost for the company based on how much we log.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad pricing strategy in terms of what can generate the most revenue for their company, or that it's unfair or underhanded or that they don't deserve it or anything like that, but I and some other people who spent most of our day working with it just began to find it frustrating.

Ya, but there are a lot more ways to avoid taxes than just deductions. Sometimes going way out of your way and doing things like renouncing your citizenship or creating shell corporations or never paying dividends and just using corporate profits to buy back your own stock forever.
Fair enough. I just see the pressure mentioned often in a context that makes it seem its a problem for 'life'.
> you need at least n bits of state in order for a program to run for 2^n cycles before halting

Only for a non-embedded system. Prisms are embedded: you have to illuminate them to get them to do anything interesting. So to compare apples and apples you have to consider a case like: connect a microphone to your computer and compute the SHA512 hash of the audio stream. That will require only O(1) space but will never halt as long as the microphone is plugged in.

I helped sail/transport a 32' boat down the coast of Australia years back with a friend and a professional captain/boat-transporter, it took a few weeks and we got to know the captain pretty well. He told us one time he was transporting a boat and was pretty far off the coast when he saw red lights in the distance coming towards him extremely fast. Then all of a sudden there was a car-sized vehicle hovering in front of him over the ocean...it sat there for 30 seconds or so, then accelerated away and was over the horizon in less than 10-15 seconds. The guy was kind of out-there, but I swear he wasn't making it up.
Looks like that's a Netlify competitor for building and hosting purely static sites.
That's also why you get the -O0 and -O3 options.
Unfortunately it's basic Darwinism. At first there were a mix of companies that did upfront licenses and service based. But over time, the service based companies had more consistent revenue, lock in and faster customer turn around. Then, with their competitive advantages, they either ran rings around the competitors that didn't or bought them with the bigger profits.

These days if you go against that grain, unless you are one of those people who are destined to be a household name due to their wild success and domination of anyone doing SaaS right now, you are accepting that a competitor is going to beat you. I don't want to sell a SaaS to my customers. I don't. But my desire to not be eaten by the competition is greater and the game is the game until the meta changes. But boy do I eagerly await for the day the meta changes so we can start making better products for people.

But a system that doesn't rely on VCs and their metrics like CAC, CAGR etc. is a prerequisite which demand consistent quarterly or monthly results that indicate hockey stick trajectories, not instant bounces one month of the year on the back of a flat fee. That is the metrics most are playing to get access to capital. To change this we need a post VC economics. But I don't see where that going to come from.
Do u think your company will consider cloud compiler if this is x5 faster? There issues such as latency, delta synchronizing, and tool versioning. But its doable.

If u build such a service (pun intended!), the issues are probably cost and security.

I believe that ends up with hurting more the people who are already affected by these policies.

> JDBI is my favourite atm

Tried JOOQ? There's generator overhead on db schema changes, and it adds lots of classes to your classpath (but this could be inside a precompiled library). I guess it adds some build time, not sure how much though (for sure more than JDBI). But that sweet typesafety and auto-complete is worth something.
Apart from the conditional compilation problems, you would also have to pre-compile for all different Rust versions. Given the size of a typical `target` directory the artifacts for just a single Rust version will also probably be ~10x as big as the current crate source.
Classic error message as well for the extension page in CWS:

I suspect suspending an extension could be done with slightly more tact, if that was a goal.

Can someone further explain "ClearURLs has made it to its mission to prevent tracking via URLs and that's how Google makes money"?

How exactly does the tracking via URLs work for Google?
My guess? Better supported by many sites, both on the internet and internal company sites. Faster for some things. And of course, inertia.

Studies have shown that people just don't change defaults, as a rule. Only a small minority of people change them.

The planet might be ok after us, but still might not be able to birth another potentially space faring civilization, dooming earth life to extinction.

Look at how:

- no other earth based space faring civilization has evolved before us.

- other intelligent species do not seem well equipped to do so, as it's hard to evolve tools without hands / prehensile organs (cetaceans), or when your lifespan is short or you're not social (octopuses & squids).

- we used up pretty much all easily accessible fossil fuels for our industrial revolution and they may take hundreds of millions of years to reconstitute, and it's unclear if anyone could evolve an industrial civilization without that kickstart of easy energy.

It's far from certain that if we disappear earth will get another good shot at evolving a space faring civilization before it's too late.

Naming what someone did isn't demonizing them. And you're portraying what he said as something different than it was.

He didn't engage in conversation. He declared opposing ideas prejudiced and narrow minded. He invented a story about who disagreed with him and mocked them.

When adolescents can consent legally is arbitrary and varies greatly. The idea children too young for puberty lack the understanding and independence to give consent varies not much at all. Even Stallman seems to understand that now. Prosecuting teenagers for sexting is draconian but a different issue completely.
Is anyone else (who is not using a caching DNS server from their ISP or other publicly available one) having trouble resolving the domain? There is no A record -- in fact there is no domain at all as far as the root servers are concerned: http://www.dollardns.net/cgi-bin/dnscrawler/index.pl?server=...

> Meanwhile the same UN issued more condemnations of the democratic state of Israel than of all other nations combined (2006-2015: 61 against Israel, 54 all others, none against China).

I don't see what democracy has to do with it. Plenty of democratic countries have and still do violate human rights, and Israel is particularly egregious. Maybe the UN considers they have more authority/clout over Israel than Myanmar? Maybe it's due to this usually happening via the General Assembly, where there are quite a lot of Muslim countries who have a bone to pick with Israel by default, so jump at any opportunity ( and there are plenty of them)?
Clearly they could since they somehow got every site on AMP…
It is. I found it hard to wade through the article.

That said, the accusations, which appear to be substantiated and in some cases legally proven, are truly nauseating.

It doesn't even have to be during a write operation. Nand needs to be periodically refreshed after a read, so the controller can be shuffling data even on a read-only mounted card. I've read speculation that most consumer cards store their controller firmware on the same nand that is used as the general storage, and thus are prone to corrupting their own firmware if something goes wrong while shuffling data.

Power loss is definitely a threat to an SD card in a Pi. But I've seen many cards go bad while the system is still running, so it's not the whole story.

Weirdly, I've had a number of cards that entered a state where they would be inaccessible under Linux or Mac OS. But they could easily be recovered by a re-format under Windows. No idea why. Perhaps the manufacturers test a lot more thoroughly with Windows?
It's an interesting idea, and one python has sort of used for a while with wheels (pre-compiled binary packages for specific architecture/OS combinations). For Rust, they could potentially cache the MIR or even a higher level LLVM IR, but perhaps those formats are too unstable or end up extremely complicated.

But that's not true, and I've had a description for each permission in the Chrome Web Store Developer Dashboard for well over a year now.

If you search in Google, the links in the results don't directly link to the result page but through a Google redirect. Really annoying if you want to copy/paste a result without visiting. CleanURL fixes this. So that might be what referred here.
No problem as long as it's available elsewhere, is it? As to popularity - this mere news will probably bring more new users than Google store did in quite a period of time.
Connections can be shared between browser tabs, so two tabs may use the same connection to a single origin.

This obviously has implications for privacy e.g. if that connection is to a third-party so Firefox and Chrome are starting to partition network connections.

If you capture a Netlog in Chrome, you'll a NetworkIsolationKey (?) entry, and consisting of top-level frame origin, frame origin, request origin (or similar) that's used to key the connection an limit it's use
> I guess I'm thinking that for a lot of shops, for alot of features, the tests are doing more harm than good.

Yes. Let me say that the conclusion that reached above about "unit != class" is one that I was forced to reach recently, by team members assuming the opposite.

In a lot of shops, the tests are done by rote, doing the opposite of what I said above: closely-coupled class tests on each public method. "pouring concrete" is a good description of the outcome.
Hm, thanks for your reply. I'm already obsessing over the SSL test in your 2nd link, having set everything to achieve an A+, including DNS CAA and all the recommended technical mitigations.

> This would be very easy to see if it were happening: the brutal expansion of the plasma would create huge stresses and its high temperature would melt the material locally. This is just not happening.

Local melting reported from the beginning for 20+ years.

Quotes:

Occasionally, energy density is sufficient to cause local melting.[87] Melting is possible because many impurities lower the melting point well below that of pure palladium (1554.9°C).[105, 106]

In the course of these experiments, the Japanese researchers verified the existence of other phenomena frequently reported from cold fusion experiments, such as occasional releases of energy in the form of sharp bursts.

In a very fundamental level I think that is exactly what the idea of science is: to predict future. That is the whole point. We want useful models that given an input (observation of current state) produce output that says how/what things are going to be/happen.
