McAfee

Yeah, this is one of the worst purchases: "Intel recently spent $7.6 billion to buy cyber security company McAfee, hoping to build its security technology directly onto silicon chips"

Another analyst quipped about that purchase: “Intel might as well have bought Whole Foods”

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-dealtalk-intel/intel-mobi...

And yet, the person at Intel who led the Whole Foods (oops I mean McAfee) purchase was promoted, not fired.

When companies get too big they start flailing around. That's what happened to Intel.

Your assumption is wrong. Lots of really useful math has 0 or 1 implementations. A Julia one may well be first. (Saying this as someone who's done several first implementations, but haven't coded a single line of Julia)
I now understand the motivations of people way better than I did as a kid. There are a lot of things that are common knowledge after you've worked a few decades that aren't rocket science, but also aren't obvious.

It's like parenting... you have no idea until you've done it. There is a whole hidden parallel universe that you just don't see until you have a child to raise.

Is the OA Season 3 Happening? Know Here
> 
80% of my traffic is excluded from Google Analytics
 Unique visitor count on Google Analytics is 80% lower than the one on Cloudflare.

FTFY.

Cloudflare’s unique visitor count always felt inflated to me, compared to both GA and non-GA analytics solutions.
Right now we haven't built a functional tutorial yet, if you want to have a thorough walkthrough of all the functions available right now, feel free to email me at alexqiu@airclick.io we can setup a voice call to explain everything.
We know you must be thinking that Netflix made it pretty clear that The OA Part 3 will not see the light of day but why the speculations of a new season have started? Well, that’s because a series of mysterious posts by Zal Batmanglij, co-creator of the show, are creating a buzz over the OA season 3 rumors. These posts do not clearly say that a new season is coming but they signal a possibility.
Since there are quality differences between data providers, it would be good to know where you source the data from. Is it from Yahoo Finance (just for example)? Or is it really directly from Nasdaq (which I presume would be pretty costly, and thus raises the question on how long you'll be able to run this service for free before shutting down or having to raise prices).

This is important since if someone decides to fully build on top of your API, they don't want the service to be gone in a few months and waste all the time integrating with yours.
The first level of interruption rarely bothers me. I can get back to what I was doing almost instantly. The second level, when the interruption gets interrupted, or comes very quickly after the first one, that's the one stresses me and make me slowly forget details of the original task that makes it costly to go back. Not everyone reacts the same, I guess.
It is visible a day or two after, and FINRA provides an API to access the data. We plan on working with FINRA to add dark pool data to our API and visualizer tools.
You can if you track all of the user's online activity and use machine learning to determine if the behavior seems genuine. That's how invisible captcha works, I'd be surprised if google analytics didn't do something similar.

Of course, that does mean you have to track all the user's online activity....

I much prefer DNS unblocking to VPN. It's not foolproof, but when it works, you get your connection's full speed and latency instead of having a VPN all the way to India and back for all your traffic. This is for 1 specific use-case.

For coffee shops and other free wifi places, as the author mentioned, VPN is better.

DNS-only VPN connections are also useful for when you don't want to use the DNS of the connection provider which blocks your DNS of choice but not VPN. E.g. mobile phone.

It all comes down to the right tool for what you need to do. The author is correct when they say that most people don't know what they're getting, but generally, a VPN is not more harmful than their home connection.

Even the free ones.. and you know what.. you can use your own DNS server of choice with the free VPNs instead of theirs if you configure it correctly. So they log that IP address connected to IP address. Have fun with that info, it's really not very useful. Big downside to the free ones is that they are known IPs and already blocked from connecting by the service.
There is a cost associated with misunderstanding.

If everybody spoke the same language wouldn't the world be a better place?

I think everybody agrees on that. But nobody can agree which language should be the chosen one.

VPNs are unnecessary for most "normal people" and scaring them with false claims about security is immoral.

"Quick research" is also not even close to enough to ensure a provider is trustworthy. I work in IT and still I'm not even close to certain I could be sure that a provider is good without quite extensive research. I can't imagine a "normal person" could do much better.
Do you have a cite for that second gloss?

I lived in DC when I first heard about Uber in 2012. Up to that point the DC taxi cartel flat out refused to accept credit cards. It was simply impossible, they claimed, despite the fact that most other major cities had been able to do this for years.

A couple months after Uber started, DC taxis started accepting credit cards.

If taxis can now offer lower prices than Uber, great! That's how competition is supposed to work.
I still play QuakeLive on a regular basis; the problem is mostly fixed by playing on servers with a stable community.

AFAIK no players are actively cheating in that community, although some prefer to play using timenudge, which could be considered an "allowed cheat".
Fortunately it's quite easy to spot those laggards, and it's up to yourself to decide whether you want to opt for fair play or not...
(Also, it feels quote good to beat them even though they have an advantage over you.)

Also, it's rare to have skilled players that cheat, so most cheaters are easily detected.

And to add to unfair advantages: I have very good ping, and also noticed I moved up on ranking after switching from a slow monitor and Bluetooth mouse to a gaming monitor and - mouse. While this is not considered a cheat, it might give you an unfair advantage over the players who use less then average hardware.

I assume it's part of human nature to figure out ways to get an edge over others, and the difference between legal and illegal is mostly about subjective standards. A good example would be doping: as long as it's not on the doping list, it's considered fair play; I recall a trend of asthma along professional road cyclists a couple of years ago.
Once the needed medication was on the doping list, the trend reversed immediately.

In my experience these additional "optimizations" are unavoidable.
The legions could reportedly throw up a fort in 2 hours, so I'm sure there was some overlap ;)

> I'm going to strongly disagree with that, and not sure how you decided that was objectively true.

My argument was to point out a lack of good reason in the first place to have concerns over the age gaps. I agreed life experience can be different, even significantly, I just don't see evidence or reasoning (in any conversation on this topic) it has anything to do with greater potential or likelihood of abuse or any degree of taking advantage of people.

Like, you mentioned your own signals for red flags, where you would draw the line over age gaps, etc. But, to be frank, is there anything more to it than the ick factor? What happens when an undergrad does date someone in their 30s? I'd argue nothing, or nothing should happen, unless one has specific evidence against that relationship itself.

>The only claim here that this asks on society is that if you potentially are in a power imbalanced relationship, just take care and watch the details. I don't see the danger here you speak of.

In the article, the author claims how she was essentially ostracized from here friend group because of her romantic choice. This is the common pattern. I'm just against the casualness of assuming there's any good reason for this concern, because it just leads to non-defensible and damaging gossip for the supposed offender.

I do agree on the point that there isn't anything wrong with self-reflection of this sort, and relationship mistakes can come all sorts of forms and degrees, I just personally don't see the connection to concerns over age gaps.
I am doing the same. I am just pointing out that we use different standards of 'proof'.

The only way I can assign an internal monologue of human emotions to you is (i) pattern match your external behavior with my own behavior in an emotional state (ii) take you on your word when you describe that your feelings, (iii) assume that all humans are roughly going to be the same.

With animals (ii) is not an option. It would not have been an option for Helen Keller too before a common language was established. Regarding (iii) it depends on where we draw the line where similarity ends, one can argue that there is a lot of shared physiology among say dolphins, us, elephants, primates dogs …

So believing that animals do not have internal monologue of emotions when they clearly show similar external manifestation is sourced more from human exceptionalism and having double standards for proofs.

We don't have the technology yet to listen into the internal monologues of anybody other than our own. All we have is evidence of external behavior and some physiological telemetry. What we conclude from these stems from what we want to believe. We have been wrong about our exceptionalism many times in history, so its not a very reliable guide.

By the way when I use the word 'you' its to draw attention to epistemological problem in the line of argument. Not that I disbelieve that you do have emotions.
The irony is there, right at the beginning:

> energy can be systematically expanded and regularly renewed by establishing specific rituals—behaviors that are intentionally practiced and precisely scheduled

Thus time remains the top resource to allocate (after attention perhaps).

Other than that, it is sad to realize the mechanical, repetitive, dead side of people. I hope we don't end up writing articles like "Play: How To Teach Your Kids The Ancient Art of Childhood".
You have a point about oversubscribing, but you can't really run a VPN service on just any cheap server hosting you can find. That will basically ensure you're on every blocklist under the sun and that defeats the main use most people have for VPNs.
A better solution is to a checkout of your build, then you wont have foo.py and you can be sure you haven't missed anything.

The default build of chromedriver is pretty easy to detect client side because it injects js variables with known names. Most bots don't really care if they're detected and excluded from analytics.

Unfortunately a few sites unfairly throttled me to 1 request/hour despite the cost of my requests being fuck-all. So a couple of years ago I had to randomize those variable names, distribute requests over 64 IPs, and screw up all their analytics numbers in the process. I hope it was worth saving $0.01 for them.

Beware governmental efforts to "enliven" dying cultures: In Soviet Russia they tried to promote minority languages with rubles and quickly those organizations were occupied with creeps had nothing to do with minorities. When asked, this minority culture was their "hobby" and they were "busy" studying the language. This was starkly revealed, when in 1990 Finland invited certain Finnic minorities to move in. They were hired by Nokia for example and it was scary to watch, most of those Ivans had nothing to with Finland, they were swarthy Cossacks with no language skills. And now Finland has 30 000 Russian minority, who consider themselves Russians with their own schools and churches and shit.
20-30ms would be noticeable to a trained eye. Speedrunners often hit buttons frame perfect during a 1/30th or 1/60th second window. Many people today are playing on 120-240hz monitors. Additionally, if you're training on gameplay from X game and that game has theoretical ghost frames that the player doesn't see / shoot at, then the hack shouldn't shoot at it either.

It's a bit of a chicken an egg problem.
It does not matter what was the hair color of your ex; as most women are looking for men with a future, most men are looking for women without a past and not take serious one with a past. The hair color is just an excuse. The entire evolution of humankind built that into men, it is in the genes, it is what they are.

Societal pressure to vilify relations between older men and young women comes mostly from women. Studies (please google it) show that man of all ages 18 to 60 are looking for women 18 to 24. It has a perfectly clear biologic explanation: health and fertility, key factors for healthy children and the viability of the species. But that puts women, especially over 30, at a huge disadvantage if they don't have already children and husbands, so they punish the young women in these relations for obvious reasons.
That’d be great.

Frankly, with the inception of modern CMake over a decade ago, the only reason anyone has to stray out of cmake's DSL happy path, comprised of all the tried and true declarative bits, is whether

a) they have to do a very niche/specialized/extremely custom extension to CMake, or

b) they have no idea what they are doing.

More often than not, b) is the case.

Disclaimer: I am not a security professional.

From what I can tell, the issue is 2,or possibly 3,issues in the print spooler.

Suggested mitigations (other than the patch) are to turn off the ability to accept remote (LAN based?) printing support (ie no printing to your printer from other machines) or to turn off the spooler completely on machines with no printer.

It is unclear if this would also suppress things like print-to-pdf but I imagine it would. So if you are not connected to a physical printer then turning off the remote print spooler is probably a good idea.

It is only tangentially referred to, but printing uses ports 137,139 and 445. So sn attacker needs to access one or more of these ports.

These ports are likely to be open by default on the machine itself, but not accessible if you are behind a router or firewall. It's certainly possible for a router to allow access via these ports, but I expect they would be closed by default. YMMV.

Of course the firewall only serves as protection as long as no malicious code is run anywhere on the LAN. So if an attacker could get a human to run code inside the LAN they can then sniff the printer servers, and run code on those servers, which would be a very big deal.

So your question about "Internet connected" is somewhat vague. In one sense most Internet server boxes do not appear to be an issue - most LAN machines are not directly at risk - but any malicious software currently running in the LAN could exploit this.

I came across the same issue recently and found the answer in the Cloudflare help. Unique visitors on CloudFlare are different from unique visitors of Google Analytics. Google Analytics expects the client to execute JS (most bots don’t do that) and Google Analytics excludes known bots from the unique visitor count. The relevant Cloudflare article:
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/36003768411...
I'm sure there was a huge debate about this when CDNs first started doing it. (I think Akamai was already doing it 20 years ago or so, so it wasn't just invented now.)

You could, of course, try to handle it at a higher protocol layer. For example, you could try to dynamically generate HTML like

<img src="https://dallastx.mycdn.com/mysite/someimage.png">

for one visitor, whereas a different visitor would get

<img src="https://seoul.mycdn.com/mysite/someimage.png">

This would mean that latency for an initial HTTPS page load would be higher, but then for subresources and maybe other pages on the site it would be lower. But there are other difficulties, like requiring the web server to generate page content (at least slightly) dynamically instead of statically.

I'm sure that there are many people who felt that there was something seriously improper about intentionally serving different RRs within the same zone at the same point in time. From what I've heard, this practice is so common that most people working on related Internet standards just assume that this practice has to be accommodated because CDNs and their customers will definitely refuse to give it up. (I know this issue came up a ton in ESNI because in the first version there was a risk that you could cache one version of an A record and another version of an ESNI key record, so the two could be out of sync and therefore inconsistent, if they pointed to different CDNs or different CDN instances that had different public keys. A "nice" solution might be to say "well, don't create deliberately inconsistent sets of DNS records in your DNS zone, then" but apparently nobody found that solution at all acceptable for performance, so they created a more complicated workaround where both pieces of information are merged into a single rrtype.)

I disagree, to the point I honestly doubt you are not trolling, specially taking into account how you decided to rank "the IDE" between autotools and handwritten makefiles, which makes absolutely no sense at all either way you look at it.

It's also dumbfounding how Bazel is ranked so high when it doesn't even support integrating system libraries as part of it's happy path.

The main reason why CMake, with all it's flaws, is the undisputed build system for c and C++ projects is the uncomfortable fact that all other alternatives are awful in comparison, even and specially in very basic happy path scenarios such as putting together a lib that any user can pick whether its static of shared and install it in the system folder or anywhere without even bothering with which compiler tool chain you're using. In CMake, anyone can get a complete project up and running with less than a dozen lines of code, and that project will assuredly work on multiple OSes as-is.

You'd be hard pressed to find another C++ build system that comes close to doing the same.
I think it's far more established in the US (assuming the OP found it on the west coast where it's usually called "boba"), and isn't a fad anymore. You can find it anywhere from dedicated fancier boba cafes with their own twists to local restaurants that serve some East Asian cuisine even if bubble tea isn't local to that cuisine.
That section is about threads. This is not a distributed system (running on different machines), it's a concurrent system (running in one machine.)

Anyway there is overlap between the two terms so strictly speaking the author is not wrong. But is anything with threads a distributed system? If so I built many of them, even with Python .

> I am disturbed and concerned by the general trend that the world seems to think all heterosexual relationships are inherently abusive or something. We hear a great deal about the bad, the things gone wrong, the dark side and sometimes it seems like there are no good examples out there, no discourse on "This is what a good relationship look like."

Well said. There seems to be some larger theme going on, not just about relationships but also about society in general - we do spend a huge amount of energy shining light on the darkness, and that is certainly valuable, but very little time imagining how things -should- be - a much harder task.

I'm also disturbed by the idea that all of society, all accomplishment, achievement, and maybe even all relationships are the result of power dynamics. It's a simple and juicy, easy to digest, view of the world. The real "Charles" sounds like a thoughtful and troubled person. Society at large is similar - as the author writes "alone with [the] memories of what really happened".

Is it possible the "steps towards something positive" is more conversations about sadness - or least, about ambiguity? "We are all unreliable narrators". Excellent essay.
