I wonder if you could trick people who mistake Monty hall like this.

Create a Casino, let users pick one of 3 doors, and give them 4x the money back if they pick the right one. Seems like bad odds for the casino, right? But the trick is, if they pick the right door you open another and give them the option to choose. Naïve as they are they will think that now they have 2/3 chance to win if they switch. But overall with these rules they have 0% chance to win. It will work as long as you only play the game once per person.
Nobody wants new apartments in their neighborhood because increased density decreases quality of life of those who already live there.

There's no upside _for them_ (remember, they already have apartment, they don't need another), only downsides.

I use a bookmark that my kids frequently remove, so just kind of remember where I am up to in any given book.
So most Berliners know nothing about economics?

The park would not be "given to the rich", presumably the parts open for building would have been sold to "the rich", with the money benefitting every Berlin citizen (ideally - but we know our government her is composed of very good people, right?).

Also what does it matter if the "rich" rent out their old apartment? What is needed is supply of apartments. Per supply and demand, more supply means lower prices.

Do the people expect to live in luxury apartments for little money?

And it is very touching that nobody wanted to live here 40 years ago and the people held on. But then they could have bought their living places for very little money. Also the whole place was subsidized by the USA as a stand against the Soviet Union. The people staying benefitted a lot.

There already is a construct for the place where you live belonging to you: it is called "buying your own place to live". If you choose to rent instead, you signal that you don't necessarily want to stay forever.
This is amazing! Even works with GIF89a (but not with APNG).
> Yes, it's a bummer to see people waste time reinventing something, and, to then have multiple solutions to the same problem. It's clutter, and wastes end user's time to sort through.

It's only that way if you see the main purpose of this blog post to explain someone how to trace a TLS connection. That could indeed be shortened to 10 lines of "use this existing tool". However to me it doesn't seem like this is the main goal of the post. It mostly uses TLS tracing as an example to describe how eBPF based tracing works, and what components are necessary for it. It can be seen as a tutorial on how to add tracing support for any other userspace function, instead of just being an explanation on how to use a predefined tool to use a single problem. I don't think its a bad thing if more of those tutorials show up.
Yeah, the moment they started bundling crapware, the fall was extremely fast. It's a hosting site that's fairly-strongly correlated with technically-adept users: burn them like this and they are never coming back, and they'll loudly tell everyone they know to do likewise.

Yeah, right.
As an outsider to network topology that's fascinating to understand. Thanks for explaining.

If you don't mind going further, how does an ISP (or anti-DDoS services) mitigate something like this without incurring even more overhead to examine the traffic & not route it onwards? Just a flat block against the sources, or something more sophisticated?

It was no secret or last minute change that Australia wanted diesel electric subs.

France submitted a competitive tender to provide a diesel electric sub at a particular price point, with much of the manufacturing being done in Australia, and was chosen over other bids on that basis.

If France couldn’t provide that at the cost they bid then they shouldn’t have bid.

There were other competitive bids from Japan and Germany both of which have proven diesel electric sub designs.

I think you read this wrong, the performance doesn't matter. It matter that the person learned something new even that he was experienced Clojure developer. And he did this by reading closed PR.

Success Open Source project are usually created by very smart and experienced developers. And big projects have a lot of them. Their Code Reviews are much better then anyone your closed source team will have, unless you're junior developer in team of Senior developers.

Right now I'm thinking that at work we also have git (for intranet application) and we have PR, this may be very good idea for newcomers to read the PR that was done to understand how some features were implemented instead of just diving into recent code. This may be best advice I've seen in a while. But maybe it's just my own idea that came from this article, that you've understand differently.

For me this article is about advice read closed PR you will learn a lot, here for Open Source projects, because OSS projects on GitHub are biggest projects you can find.
Nice graphic, but it’s missing the push command…
Kdenlive reached a good enough level of maturity in features and stability. Very nice editor nowadays.
I'm pretty sure they will have to, this AFUKUS thing has forced their hand.
No, the solution is ingress filtering and a lot of ISPs do it these days, see bcp38.
There are often ways around that. For example the state can manipulate the markets, or offer an alternate choice, for example to never raise rents ever.
I fail to understand how DNS reflection attacks are possible. Isn't it in the interest of any ISP to block outgoing spoofed IP packets ? So as not to be accused of letting those attacks originate from them ?
I'd assume it meant 'rewrite in rust.'
You're right. I don't know how old my desktop is, I confused it for my laptop, which I remember I bought in 2016.
One of the last questions literally has all 50 states represented. How is that cherry picking?
ISPs have a very decentralized network, that is, they have routers in a lot of places.

If you sum up the available traffic capacity, you get a number that's far bigger than 250 Gbit/s.

But that's not the right comparison to make. Much of that DDoS traffic goes through multiple of the ISP's routers, and if you're doing just a numbers comparison, you'd have to multiply the attack rate by the (average) number of hops.

But things are even more complicated in reality: many smaller links will have only 10Gbit/s or 20Gbit/s or 40Gbit/s capacity (or maybe even 1G), and saturating them not only causes increased latency, but also routing the traffic around causes more overall load on the network.

Then there are management systems behind firewalls, and if you DDoS them, it's typically the firewalls that give out first.

Finally, customers don't get the full throughput internally available to an ISP; if you DDoS a customer's IP, their link will be saturated, even if the ISP itself has plenty to spare.

I went through a phase of buying Made in US and Canada footwear such as Alden and Viberg, and to be honest, I don't think I could ever buy a cheap pair of shoes again.

Cross site caching is dead. Safari hasn’t supported it in years and Chrome recently dropped it as well. It’s better to hold all assets on your domain to avoid TCP and TLS overhead.

I appreciate the plug for the Framework Laptop in the 2nd half of the article.
Not a lot of details in the article. I'm curious how 'AI' was actually used. Was it used to compensate for wind, distance, etc? Was it used to alert when the target was in range? Was it allowed to automatically recognize the target and deliver a kill shot? Was it used to make sure no innocents were behind him? Why did the apparatus weigh over a ton?

It was only a matter of time before this happened though. With off-the-shelf technology today, even lesser advanced nations, groups and even individuals could put something like this together. Throw in the skills of a more advanced nation, and you get something like this that works from a mile away and effectively destroys all trace of itself before anyone notices. Devices like this could lie in wait for years waiting for the target information to be passed to them. We live in interesting times.
These so-called VPNs are only good to bypass Nexflix’s regional filters, and shouldn’t even be called VPNs. Nobody should assume these services can be used to improve security or privacy.

The answer is to not humor people who have unreasonable complaints about things that are their own fault (making assumptions about the content of an article aka judging a book by its cover). The title is fine.
That's pretty trivial 'AI'. The headline mentioning AI is just for clickbait, in reality it was just a remotely-operated drone gun with a fire control system.

This is a leak like hundred of other leaks.

But, it seems like you are trying to push a certain agenda and paint the info in a certain way.

Here's another way to frame the same info: At least someone tries to prevent a war and prevent bad actors from obtaining nuclear weapons.
The research I've seen (e.g. [0] [1]) consistently shows a modest decrease in rent prices for existing renters when new housing is built. Are there studies showing the opposite that I'm not aware of? I understand that there are two competing effects at play (which [0] calls an amenity effect vs. a supply effect) but my impression is that empirically the latter seems to reliably outweigh the former.

> You are increasing rental supply by diminishing owned housing supply. You're not doing anything for housing supply, which is the only thing that matters.

They're two separate markets. Increasing rental supply does drive down rents.

If in one location, rents are very low but house prices are very high, then landlords would have incentive to take properties off the rental market in that location and sell them, perhaps using the proceeds to buy investments elsewhere.
Gsuite. It's fine, plus google signin reduces the number of passwords I have to use.
I don't think it's good idea, because it will be wasted time. You can use your time to contribute to the project after reading some closed PR, try to use your knowledge to contribute.

For me it's best advice how to start with Open Source, and be sure that your PR will be accepted. And as side effect you will learn a lot, but this is with any practice like with your idea, but you will make project better. Your idea is as worthless as doing LettCode or similar.

The inability of the GIMP developers to work with others to incorporate needed features was the primary reason.

Look at the difference between how different open-source projects operate. Some foster collaboration and encourage outside contributions, e.g. Linux. Others are completely insular and barely tolerate it. The GIMP maintainers fall into the latter category. Unless you're part of the inner clique, you won't get anything merged.

It's kind of sad that the Cinepaint people got several paid staff to lift the GIMP functionality to the point it had very high-profile commercial use with some really useful features, and yet the GIMP developers were too stubborn to acknowledge this effort and work with them to get the functionality into the GIMP core.

Sadly, this is not unique to the GIMP. I, and other commercial developers, had exactly the same experience with GTK+ and GNOME libraries. The developers wanted to hack on their pet thing, ignore outside contributions, and this is simply not compatible with commercial timelines and realities. But it can be, and it can work very well, for projects which are willing to engage with outside work. It can work out to be very mutually beneficial with some give and take on both sides. I was on the GIMP mailing lists at the time and followed this saga for years. It's a crying shame it was deliberately ignored.
Reducing military development costs has some solutions, but it’s difficult to apply in practice.

The most effective things you can do is to not force spreading the work across specific companies and countries, and not change the specs as the program goes.
Google/Apple will catch you in hours/days and all your work goes down the drain. Also its hard to get 50M downloads, not worth the time.

There is already an established economy of botnets. They work like this:

1. There is a hacker group (usually ex-USSR or China) that is actively monitoring 0 day vulnerabilities. They usually target internet connected devices which are from companies that dont give a damn about updating them after they are released. This is the case for most budget routers, "smart" things (lamp, frigde, vacuum, doorbell,..).

2. If they find a nice one (e.g. one that affects millions of shit-tier $40 routers), they set up port scanners and infect as many as they can.

3. Rent the botnet on darknet sites, there is already an established pricing for them, for example $1000 for 1 hour of 1000Gbps DDOS. You just pay them in crypto and tell what to attack.
Though you don't see Iran going around killing the people responsible for Israel's nuclear arsenal.

We used it at DreamWorks Animation, but also had our own various 2D bitmap editing tools.

I can think of a few reasons it fell out of favor in the 3D animated film space. Any process that required artists to come in after a render was complete is bad news for your budget. The more you can accomplish inside of your surfacing and lighting tools, the better.

For surface creation, artists in general would prefer to use tools that they are familiar with, and if your pipeline can support export from Photoshop, then that is they are going to want to use.

While there are still a lot of proprietary tools in use for lighting and rigging, the days of completely proprietary tool chains and pipelines are over. Software suites of no longer running on SGI boxes with a lot of proprietary formats. A lot of work has been done on interchange formats so it is easier to get your data in and out Maya, Photoshop, etc.

A dedicated ticket-churner might be the most efficient way to churn tickets. But why are you so sure that the ticket stream amounts to the best long-term future for the software and its customers?

An owner can see around corners. Identify patterns in customer requests and make platform-level changes to get ahead of the customer needs not yet fully articulated. If he does it right, they never will be. He has his thumb on the pulse of production. Knows, cares, and investigates when something merely seems a little weird, before it becomes a bug report or an outage. Sees the real need behind the “requirement” and negotiates a different way to satisfy the business that doesn’t tie the architecture up in knots.

Without the understanding of the codebase that comes from having written or worked on large parts of it, one cannot hope to do this well.

I get to be an owner at my current company and it is one of the reasons I’m very hesitant to ever leave.

You have a key on a single machine that can only read a single repository with no additional hassle about securing the agent to not give out all your secrets at once, while it does not add any additional risk, as the remote machine already has full copy of the repo, so there is almost nothing to gain with the key if attacker had compromised the machine already.
This is potentially approachable advice for a total noob who can't really code: Just read the pull requests and comments in open source if you want to start learning.

It's thought provoking and not what I expected. I'm used to hearing "If you want to learn, build something." That assumes some basic knowledge I simply don't have, so I haven't yet managed to pull it off.

The crazy amount of tech money has really made some of the other high paying fields less lucrative.

I think the key take away from the article is this line:

>...higher-level innovation? Ironically, factory owners said that's happening where the industry is — overseas.

I don't think there's anything ironic about this. Innovation happens close to the product, where you can get a true understanding of what you're doing and what the process is. We see this in projects gone awry all the time - until you're sitting at your desk working on the project, you don't know what the problem space actually is.

In addition to all the obvious problems with the dismantling of America's manufacturing capacity, I think this is one of the real, critical, and silent issues - for a country that keeps touting innovation, not a lot of that happens here... apart from industries where there still is a strong manufacturing core in the country. The mercantilist rhetoric about buy American is stupid, but so is the blind faith that global capitalism won't destroy the ground it's built on.
> Here's another way to frame the same info: At least someone tries to prevent a war and prevent bad actors from obtaining nuclear weapons.
