But you just declare that my rainbow is not paradoxical, your argument for the teleporter provides no logic beyond it. Here, I also declare “there is no teleporter paradox”. Are you convinced? A mere contradiction does not imply a paradox.

Other than that, we already have the exact situation you describe: a twin on the crime scene will leave the exact genetic information. Does that mean there is a paradox? No. Does that mean it has to be the same person? No. It’s two different conscious entities that happen to have the same DNA. Just like a copied person. No problem, no contradiction, no paradox.
Why does it use "sudo" in the first place when systemd uses PolicyKit for proper fine-grained/action-specific privilege acquisition out-of-the-box?
I was working on something similar but I found that without interface types[1] you end up with a platform that's kinda primitive and pretty unergonomic. I honestly expect to see an explosion of projects in this vein once interface types are a real thing.

What I find interesting is that these sterile neutrinos do not "badly broke" the Standard Model,

instead they come as a complement and obey all the other principles otherwise held for particle physics (symmetry groups, isospins, etc).

On the contrary, as they are the missing right-handed neutrinos required to explain the mass of left-handed (i.e. "normal") neutrinos through the Higgs mechanism,

it may instead come as a new victory of the explanatory power of the Standard Model.

What would you or others recommend to fellow dinosaurs wanting to come to grips with modern JS?

The first time I learned it was back in the days when it was mainly for mouse rollovers. I want to tackle it as if it were a different language these days (which in many ways it is). But in years past I've been put off by what seemed like high volatility in the current best practices, to the point of flavor-of-the-month syndrome. I'm sure there must be a stable core that's worth learning and using, but as an outsider I have trouble spotting it.
Here's what I do when learning a new language. I've written projects in C#, VB6, C++, Python, Rust, Kotlin, Java, Swift, Objective-C and a tiny bit of typescript.

- First of all, find out what the typical toolchain is. What IDE do people tend to use? What compiler? How is package management done? These can be really complicated or super simple to answer.

- Compile a Hello World and see that it runs. If it's reasonably specific and supported by a bigcorp, there's often extensive downloadable examples. Android and iOS for instance will tell you a lot in their tutorials. If there's a book, get the book and see how the author presents it, just skim it for key concepts, don't get bogged down in the cpp templates SFINAE explanation, it will only make sense once you have done some coding.

- Find out how modules work in your language. Every language has this, and you need to know it before you can get anywhere, both reading and writing.

- Note down keywords from the tutorial code. Recurring things you see, look them up. If you're doing Rust maybe you see `match, await, clone, some, and unwrap` quite often. If it's iOS maybe `controller`, or if it's Android maybe `fragment`. Google all these things.

- Look for the libs that you need. If you need a websocket, look for that. Major frameworks will tend to have good examples in idiomatic style. You can't know all the libs you'll need, so just get the ones that are obvious. This will give you a better histogram of keywords and soon key concepts.

- Start to code your actual thing you want to make. As you run into issues the errors will give you keywords. This will improve your knowledge as you google those as well. After a short time you will run into larger issues than syntax, and those issues will turn out to have been mentioned in the appropriate books.

>The above comment is propaganda. I doubt the person is from Berlin or lives there still.

Haha, what? I should probably be grateful you didn't outright call me a Nazi or something. If you're in fact involved with the campaign feel free to ask around where your fellow people are from originally.

How about you? Real Berliner? Or do you move back if Berlin doesn't pan out for you?

For instance, I haven't met a single signature collector that was native to Berlin and boy have I been engaging them in discussion when I ran into them every day while commuting between Neukölln and Friedrichshain.

>The Deutsche Wohnen Enteignung campaign has broad and diverse support across the population.

This is actual propaganda.

>This was actually proven in an investigation for possible "radical left" influences

>Are you saying that Apple built a system that can detect CSAM, and then chose to build a system for distributing and viewing said illegal material, considering that the acts of distributing and viewing CSAM are both very, very illegal?

I'm saying that I'm pretty sure they will not turn you in to the police for possession of child porn without being damn sure that's what it is. How do you think the other FAANGs do it? I have never heard of anyone falsely reported for CSAM by Facebook for example, have you? Why would it be different for Apple?

I really don't think you are being honest about this.
This is a conspiracy theory that financially illiterate people love to parrot. There is no benefit to keeping a property vacant on purpose. It incurs opportunity cost, which is the cost of rent. The only reasons a property may remain vacant is
either due to regulations, incompetent management or maybe money laundering (an actual crime) in which case collecting rent would impose a burden on the money laundering operation. By no means is this common, it is an extreme exception and bringing it up in these conversations is a goofy platitude by people who know nothing about real estate. It'd be like talking about the supply of automobiles and bringing up "but what about cars destroyed at monster truck rallies or used on movie sets? it's limiting the supply of automobiles!"
There is one other use case that is rare, but the one I needed.

Sue to shitty peering, and some bad connection between me and a service, I was seeing horrific latency and packet loss.

A VPN let me route my packets through Chicago, which had a better connection to the service in question.
It's a bit confusing since you discuss commercial properties between two paragraphs discussing housing rentals. It isn't specifically clear that your comment about low demand only applies to commercial properties.
That's just not true. Many people just want to live. They will rent or buy.

Housing supply is housing supply. There is scarce distinction in real life between rental and occupier owned housing.
Airtags do allow non-owner devices to disable some functionality such as turning off the alarm. I doubt they let you turn off the tracking since that would completely defeat the anti-theft aspect of Airtags.
If these were AR glasses first, would we have accepted the cameras as a necessary evil? If that is the case, then the concern seems superficial.
Why would it be uncomfortable? Those hidden inside the (original) machine were not exploited by the machine owner

I just do not understand it either. When I want some protection I use tor. I would never trust a paid vpn service.
DDOS events typically use distributed botnets. Unless you analyze the CNC you’re probably asking for wide deployment of acls (flow spec or otherwise); and such agreements happen occasionally, as they operationally brutal but are slow (otherwise they would be subject to abuse).

You, right now, may be participating in a DDOS attack without knowing it. Should your ISP cut you off based on information from some Belgian ISP?
Tracking someone like that would be a felony, ideally, with an order to stop operations for the company who's facilitating it. Using my analogy above, that's like dropping a bag with nuclear waste into someone's pocket.
AirTags, like all Apple devices, use randomized Bluetooth addresses, otherwise they allow scanners to follow their users location over time.

> Also I would focus on integrating SSO with their company first, that way they can get it in the door and running on their network so you can get feedback ASAP.

Perhaps off-topic, but could you elaborate on how SSO allows them OP's Saas to run on THEIR network? I imagine SSO would just allow the company to log in to the OP's Saas using company's email address (or something similar)... but the Saas will still run on OP's network (the cloud?)

While we own a full machine shop at our company I still have a very, well, unique, garage. At the moment I have my old manual Bridgeport knee mill and a Haas VF2 right next to it (along with a prototype-scale SMT line and other goodies).

I've been going back and forth with the idea of turning the Bridgeport into a CNC/manual hybrid. I like the idea very much, but I also love full-manual machining. I've used such a hybrid in the past, with both a motorized knee and quill. You could still disengage the quill and simply grab handles and machine manually.

The control they used was the Acu-Rite Milpwr G2:

https://acu-rite.com/controls-readouts/millpwr-g2/

It's really nice, but fairly expensive (I think about $25K by the time you are done).

One of the arguments I read against converting a manual mill this way is that the ball screws create a situation where manual machining can be more difficult due to the low friction and back-drivability. A machine builder told me it would be a better idea to trade it for a Bridgeport Boss, which is actually designed as a CNC machine.

Having the VF2 next to it I don't generally feel the need to make lots of parts on the knee mill. Like it or not, it makes a mess. That's why I keep thinking that the right level of automation might be to only motorize the x and y axis for quick and accurate hole location and simple machining operations and leave the quill and knee fully manual.
That would be a different problem.

In Monty Hall, Monty always opens a door, and you're left to choose between your picked door and one other door.
Airtags are the only devices (that I know of) that can leverage a worldwide network of iPhones to transmit their location rather than a power intensive LTE or GSM link. They also don't require any external antennae for location determination like those GPS trackers stalkers use.

Those features make make AirTags more practical for any use, good or bad. They do rotate Bluetooth MAC addresses so only you and Apple can follow where the tag has been, supposedly.

Furthermore, if your target has an iPhone, you can partially leverage their phone against them. Of course Apple saw this coming and added a warning. If you're on Android you'll have to rely on apps like these (or the theoretical app Apple promised at some point) to prevent AirStalking

Tile has offered a similar mechanism for years but the lack of a worldwide network of automatic data collection points makes their network a lot less useful for good or bad people.
Many, myself included, would gladly take a major hit in battery life if it means having a machine we can actually trust.

Trust means no ME backdoors, no random blobs which can be supply chain attack vectors.

Freedom means I can do anything I want to the software and firmware and repair anything as needed long term without the consent of a corporation that has a financial interest in seeing their hardware go to a landfill in 2 years so people buy the latest.
Free or close to free VPNs? Maybe.

Paid VPNs like Nord, Proton, Express. Seriously doubt it. Their estimated subscribed count * subscription cost is worth a lot more than selling data, specially considering it would kill their business the minute it came out.
I think we have fundamentally different mental models; we disagree and neither is going to budge, at that’s okay. What you call “advocating for labor”, I call “paying people enough to live with dignity, even if distorting the labor market is necessary.” I advocate for labor because labor are fellow humans, and they matter the most imho. Whether capitalists get wealthy is not my concern.

Regarding tactics, I take no issue with your statement. I think these issues are imperatives, even if cribbing off the playbook of less decent folks is a requirement. Regarding these policies benefiting me, I am financially independent. These policies would only cause me to pay more for goods and services (and possibly higher capital gains taxes), which I’m happy to do. If someone does not advocate for the disadvantaged, who will?

Finally, I did not downvote any of your comments. HN is not showing downvote arrows to me for any comments in the thread, I assume because a flame war or similar heuristic has been triggered.
DDoSes come from asymmetries in the difficulty of making a request and providing a response.

For example, a classic is the SYN flood. In this, the attacker makes many requests to open TCP connections (with a SYN packet) but does none of the rest of the handshaking. The server does the initial bookkeeping for setting up TCP connections, before eventually timing out and freeing the resources. The SYN packets are very cheap and easy to form (and the attacker can immediately free all the resources after firing them away), but the connection state information is a little bigger. This asymmetry builds up, making the server overloaded.

I believe that asymmetries in resource consumption are, at some point, unavoidable.

You also asked:

> are there any R&D in the pipeline that may kill this type of attack once and for all?

Note that DDoS attacks are a class of attacks. They're a description for a broad genre. It's kind of like how "bronchitis" actually just means "enflamed bronchial tubes" - it's a symptom, not a cause. Even if we permanently defeat SYN floods, there are a gazillion other DDoS-type attacks (UDP flooding, messing with ARP tables - its an almost endless list).
I hadn't heard of wezterm before. It looks pretty interesting. How mature is it compared to alacritty?

What would he reveal in case 3) if you haven't picked the car, if not a goat? That variant doesn't seem to make sense.

Likewise for 2). If Monty reveals the car, you just pick the car. I also don't think his knowledge really matters. You have 1/3 chance of picking the car. One other door is revealed to not be the car. So odds for the other door to have the car is 2/3 - you don't even need a Monty in the story.
If a func takes a TypedArray, how will the language know which methods can be called on it? Won't you have to type all of the Javascript DOM libraries? You'd have to separate the mutating ones.

That's possibly the most inefficient way anyone can imagine. If they can control Apple, they can just tell them to search Mail.app and Photos.app. What you are proposing is a Rube Goldberg machine.

And I'm 99% certain various agencies are already reading all your emails, with or without Apple's help. They are not hiding that they are spying on Swedish citizens, with the help of our intelligence services. Pretty sure they spy on you as well.
That is being done too for when trust REALLY matters.

See the Precursor.
Well, since Apple isn't owning its own phone production, that would have interesting consequences, wouldn't it?
With DDoS the problem is that botnets come from a bunch of random devices that were compromised (for example, your un-updated smart TV or old router could be contributing to the DDoS without your knowledge.)

With spam calls, ransomware, and most other forms of cybercrime, the problem is that Russia/China and many 3rd world countries don't extradite/cooperate or have the resources to work with international authorities.

I sometimes wonder how much safer the internet would be if China and Russia were cut off. Wouldn't be so great for the already poor state of liberty in either country, but the rest of the world would certainly benefit.
Windows hates slow disks in general. When I've had a dying HDD just plugged in, even when that HDD is never accessed, Windows comes to a crawl. The same system booted into Ubuntu is smooth.
I won’t pretend to understand all the complexities of how modern crypto works, but this article is fascinating. I was especially taken aback at how the policy considerations seem analogous to “real life” policy issues:

> Ethereum is likely just fine at this level of security spending, but it’s not worth fully discounting the service that the miners perform. Their job is to create valid, linear blockspace with no forks. Decrease the wages paid to the mercenary army that defends your terrain, and it can more easily be paid off by an attacker. There’s a point where further decreasing miner revenue would put Ethereum at risk; granted, it’s probably at a much lower threshold.
>And if so, why don’t other companies do this that could better target dumb people?

I see ExpressVPN ads all the time and they're almost always advertised as "protecting yourself from hackers or your ISP".

This is the best description of Coasian Theory of the Firm I have heard in ages
No repeat of the Robert Scoble photo, please!
In my opinion, the relationship between founders and investors has changed with time. The role of “founder” has become much more of a structured profession, whereas it used to simply be a random person who started a tech company. In the modern version, I would argue that the role of the founder is to create high-performing investment vehicles for venture capital. This is explicitly understood by some founders and creates a different relationship with investors than “building a company” founders. Even though the activity is essentially identical, the perspectives and priorities are different because you are optimizing for slightly different things. Building companies is just a means to an end for investors.

The biggest implication is that the primary "customer" of the founder is different in these two versions of the role.

My experience is that founders who internalize that their role is to create and manage investment vehicles for venture capital have a different and higher leverage relationship with investors, including compensation, than founders that think their primary purpose is to build a company.
But it has nothing to do with the Monty Hall problem. It would be a completely different game. The only common thing would be that they are both narrated as game shows.
oh yes Ireland, the great bastion of privacy concern trolling.
Most/all ddos attacks come from unwitting people whose computers or iot devices have been taken over on the order of tens or hundreds of thousands of devices. So there isn't much that can be done beyond filtering or having a large enough pipeline to absorb the traffic.

Even if you had a central authority cutting off access from ip addresses, do you cut off whole university campuses because someone's "smart" coffee machine is participating in a ddos or entire businesses because there is a computer in a closet somewhere that is infected?
Tile will now leverage Amazon sidewalk to have a similar affect - which is all alexa and ring doorbells I think?
Yeah! Let's not fix the software and the bad assumptions some programmers make - let's all just do what's simplest for the bad programmers. What could go wrong? ;)

Seriously, there's zero reason why endianness should matter in code. All good code compiles and runs on whatever endian system you want. If it doesn't, then it's buggy and broken and should be fixed, and whoever wrote it should be ashamed.

First, really this is a philosophical rather than a technical paradox.

Second, how do you know the requirements of a teleporting machine that doesn’t exist? Seems like a cheap way out of the discussion to simply declare that the technical implementation will have certain properties that make the discussion simple.

Maybe the resolution you mention is not necessary. I can obtain all relevant information in a printed text by taking a picture, the exact quantum state is not necessary at all. Also: clones are already created routinely.
People talk about Trump destroying the US's reputation as an ally, but no one sane should have trusted the US to go to war for them after Ukraine. "If you give up your nukes, we'll protect you", we said. Until we decided it wasn't convenient to do so.
One of the examples he mentioned was 200Kb.

It's not that simple. Collecting 250Gbps of uplink is not that simple. The attack vectors are simple in principle, but carrying it out...

Here's next year's fine vector: You write a nice iphone or android app and persuade fifty million people to download it. But unknown to the owners of those mobile phones, it also has a hidden evil feature: If the phone has the screen off, is charging and is on a WLAN, then it can participate in a DDoS if you direct them to. The phone's owner won't notice, but if enough phones are charging and each can contribute 2Mbps of upload, you could collect 250Gbps at the target.

And tracing it back to that app will be very difficult.
but that copy of you would think too, so, what's the difference?
