HTTPS is a still privacy risk because the hostname is sent in plaintext. Perhaps you get some "URL privacy" but you get no improvment in terms of "hostname privacy". HTTP only leaks the hostname once. HTTPS leaks it twice.

This can be prevented by (a) using TLS1.3 to ensure the server certificate that is sent is encrypted and (b) taking steps to plug the SNI leak; popular browsers send SNI to every website, even when it is not required.

How to Build an App That Supports Wildcard and Custom Domains with SSL on Heroku
The stance was farcical to begin with. You aren't going to get anywhere by trying to walk it out of the fringes.
Do you have proof of this assertion? Otherwise it sounds like the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle greenwashing that corporations put out in the '90s to get us to believe that using plastic overconsumption wasn't really bad at all. All I'm reading is: it needs to be banned if I don't like it, but if I use it and like it then it's useful.

I think that's an unfair comparison: in the first example, you have indentation to tell you what the intent was.

With inexperienced programmers like you bring up, if it was mistyped instead:

if(err) {
console.log('something bad happened')
recover()
continue()

I don't believe that compiler syntax error would help one iota (eg. they might just stick } after the continue() to get the compiler to let the code through).

Significant indentation can throw someone for a loop in a very narrow set of copy-paste mistakes (i.e. where pasted code is still indented in a way to pass the syntax checks, since you can't mix and match number of spaces in Python either).

Though having good editor support is crucial for programming.
I wholeheartedly approve such measures, but can we do this for more diseases, please? HIV/AIDS, for example. 700 thousand deaths and 1.5 million new cases in 2020. there are so many things we could do to prevent most of those, just think about it.

You are right, one can not simply choose a racial identity. A more appropriate analogy would be the Inquisition, or perhaps Christian persecution in pagan Rome. Those generally left the option for heretics to renounce their beliefs.
So you what wish they did it here in the United States as well?

You probably were a fan of FDR locking up US citizens because of their ethnicity too.

Can we stop pretending covid is something that justifies these crazy actions we are taking. Yes it kills people and can spread easily. So what. At this point it is only killing unvaccinated people and vaccinated people can still get and spread it.

So just stop it. Stop with the insanity. Stop pretending that the emperor has clothes. Or at the very least let cities enforce what they want and don’t have a rural place in CA be forced to follow what SF wants, or have Austin do what TX wants.

Hi HN -

I’m the writer for this post and wanted to share it because after building two apps that needed to give users an option for wildcard or custom domains and seeing 0 documentation out there I thought it would be helpful to write down how to get this set up using Heroku.

Hopefully it’s helpful and if you have any questions, let me know!
Totally so. But the lowest class did not see the bigger picture. Swedes and top hats were the masters, so better join our Russian comrades in total revolution.

"Independent Finland" was a concept only few could afford. And those few were planning to establish "Kingdom of Finland". They also selected the King of Finland, some fuckup German Hapsburg Prince.

> I feel that we are the "early 1990's internet" stage of decentralization. There were (apparently) article after article, denouncing the internet as a fad, that it will be dead any day, just for <x>, just for <y>, "The internet is tearing apart the fabric of society"...

It's true that those articles existed but I think there were two key differences: they were written by [generally] old people who weren't at all conversant with the technology and were recognized as such by many people at the time. It was widely recognized that the dotcom stocks were overheated and some of the companies had no chance but at the same time most people were buying PCs and internet connectivity because there were tons of things they _did_ want to do.

That situation is generally reversed today: the people who understand technology are highly skeptical and the people most bullish about cryptocurrency do not show much sign of understanding either the technology or the markets where they're looking for buyers.

The strongest parallel I see now are the cryptocurrency bulls sound exactly like this sales guy I knew 1999-2000 who was convinced that the primary reason to buy a stock was how much the share price was increasing. Sadly, he neglected to cash out before the crash and ended up substantially in the red.

Regarding decentralization, I think it's important to consider how the internet has become less decentralized over time. The situation in the 90s was far more distributed but the centralized solutions have won out in many spaces, and it's not just well-funded rent-seekers but also factors like cost, reliability, support, and often even performance. I'm philosophically inclined towards open standards and distributed protocols but I have to say the experience has generally not lived up to the dream.

i bought a Onewheel-XR+ a few months ago and then found a lot of reddit threads about how the mfg DRM'd the controllers to prevent people from adding longer range batteries and buildig their own apps to do diagnoatics over bluetooth. they sent cease/desists to several prominent modders.

it's super sad. the modding community was very vibrant until they kneecapped it via firmware updates.

their android app is bloated 42MB crap with social features that requires an internet connection and google's framework to connect over bluetooth to the board under your feet to read battery levels, change riding modes, control headlights, etc. previously there were third party apps < 1mb that could be used offline for this, until they crippled everything via firmware updates.

now they released their new GT boards a month ago with extended range (and much heavier). the new Pint GT looks really compelling, so really torn about giving these sh*theads more of my money :(

>I had previously not understood how people could get themselves so deep into conspiracy theories.

To put it simply, it is contrarianism at the core. The more someone pushes the more you push back. The only fix for such a mindset is for the push to stop, but since the push works for the majority of non-contrarians it's worth the pushing. You can apply this to just about anything controversial in society/politics: gun rights, abortion, sexuality, religion, taxation, medication, etc.

The best thing you can do at an individual level is pull -- that is, agree with them as much as you can, be compassionate and empathetic with their views, but be firm in your own beliefs and highlight the overlap, then draw them closer to that overlap.

> Read the terms the data does not get shared with anyone - very clearly stated there.

I did read the terms and it was anything but clear on that, it only says that data generated is owned by the customer but also allows them to create "anonymized" versions of the data that they do own.

Even if the terms didn't give them a free pass to share the data (and that they don't sell it anyway like many do) that data is only a company policy change from being sold... The probability of that happening quickly approaches 1 with data brokers sitting on their doorstep with bags of money.

> Does aws share your data with 3rd parties?

Assuming that you're talking about the data stored on rented servers - and not their customer and usage data which they very likely do share with third parties - they have very obvious incentives to keep that data readable only by the customer.

Not that I would be all that surprised to learn that some cloud provider had been mining their customers disk storage for data...

> Google doesn't have to share your data with outside people directly, they are more than enough of a customer for that data themselves

That's what I meant with that they are somewhat incentivized to keep it to themselves. That's marginally less disgusting than having it being sold in bulk to companies that specialize in aggregating, de-anonymizing and re-selling data.
I appreciate the response and will have to investigate these. My more recent jobs have taken me away from these areas but they are very interesting topics.

I think that there are many valid ways to improve business systems software, but that the current leaders are entrenched to a level that they won’t be replaced, similar to libre office not taking off regardless of its rich set of features.

The neutrons used here have a maxwellian energy distribution associated with fission. A single bit will contain neutrons with energies from nearly thermal up to a few MeV. These neutrons are not relativistic at all. For reference a 1 MeV neutron travels a meter in about 70 ns. This means the spread in the neutron spectrum and the transmission distance will conspire to place a fundamental limit on the data rate. Can't have neutrons from neighboring bits mixing together too much. This doesn't even include intermediate scattering which will make things harder.

> Why do you think the only way forward is thru trust-less systems?

<hand-wave-y weirdo ranting about social trust>

I don't think we _can_ restore trust as you suggested. I think that social media and the "modern internet" has broken humans. Humans, in my opinion, are incompatible with trust outside of a very small circle of people. So, we need to move to a system where no one trusts anyone or anything, data is either strictly controlled by an individual person (the biological person, not a corporation or any other legal funny business) or is freely open for everyone to see.

I think that Fake News is largely only able to propagate because there has been a failure in trust. It's not (entirely) an educational problem, it's a problem that the system is opaque, the participants are opaque and the distributed trust the world was built on no longer works because we are no longer dealing with a disconnected population that only build strong forms of trust within themselves across generations. We are still working on the assumption of trust or using biological signals to determine trustworthiness of a person or fact. That's _really_ bad when people don't know what or who to trust because society assumed implicit trust would work.

We have to move past a web of webs trust-wise where each web has only a few edges to other webs ("I trust this individual to speak for me") and move to a single web of each node (person) having to reach consensus with other nodes using transparent, consensus-reached facts.

I think we _could_ do make our gov't and officials completely transparent but that still relies on trust & honesty to report what's happening without bias (which, imo, isn't possible for humans).

</hand-wave-y weirdo ranting about social trust>

> Why do you think the only way forward is thru trust-less systems?

Trust is easily broken or exploited. We are better off if each node, either biological or not, determines from provable and transparent facts ("this was agreed upon by 51%+ of trusted nodes") rather than being expected to implicitly trust opaque facts ("trust us... the money is definitely there. ;)")
> the assessment itself is useless (adds nothing to the conversation)

doesn't this contradict with "let everyone speak"? In a discussion, there are talking points, and then there are comments that contextualize them, such as pointing out whether something *sounds* like outlier. It can help provide heuristics when parsing large chunks of input.

Again that comment reads completely fine to me, and the person did not say they were offended.
No there’s special methods which turns blocks into objects, and there’s a syntax to do that, but blocks aren’t objects unless you specifically do one of those things. The idea you’re replying to is that they’d be objects always.

What about kids in school? So only the poor kids who don't have access to their own hardware will be subject to these rules that prevent them from viewing source? Sounds pretty insane.

What's truly absurd is the apparent lack of critical thought that went into this decision.

Keep patting yourself on the back though, Eric. You're obviously totally 100% right on this one /s
>If you clear millions of people, that sounds unsafe to the general public

It sounds unsafe once all the information collected on those millions of people is placed in a central location and then hacked by or leaked to a nation-state level adversary.

If you said that 99% of them don't actually have power or access, it could be true, but irrelevant if an adversary has essentially 100% and unlimited resources to review them and double check the work.

>the clearance is only a confirmation that nothing is wrong in your background

In theory. The security clearance investigators are not perfect, and moreover, it's been publicly reported that sometimes contractors have falsified records showing they performed investigations. Statistically, X% are going to be flawed.

If an adversary has ~100% of the records, then think what they can do by reviewing them. Compromising someone doesn't require an earthshattering discovery because the cardinal sin is failure to disclose.

Let's say, for example, a person smoked pot a few times. From what I've read, that's generally not a big deal as long as you aren't doing it currently and don't lie about your history.

(The DOE rule seems to be that if you haven't used illegal drugs for two years, then they're not disqualifying per se, depending on a holistic look at a person)

But if an adversary has the entire investigation and every other piece of information that the federal government has on every employee, and they can determine that a given person did in fact conceal anything, then it is leverage to compromise them. Do X or you will be exposed as having lied. Or even "do X or you will be framed as having lied". It could be just enough to get someone to perform some action that further compromises them, and so on.

The more people this is done to, the more it snowballs. They could say "this higher up person works for us, so if you don't cooperate they will help us frame you for X". And it could be true, so how can a person verify?

If they have everyone's investigation, then all of the people who do have access to important things are at risk, and anyone who is truly spotless cannot be sure who is compromised.

Ancillary information like fingerprints makes it even worse, as all covert agents anywhere can in principle be detected and eliminated. This type of apocalypse being quiet, an absence of reporting on it wouldn't be evidence against.

I deduce that the whole scenario likely happened starting several years ago, based on public information, summarized at:

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

I am not making a categorical statement that seeking a cleared federal position is a mistake, but consider the gravity of the decision to trust the system if you do.
The Vulkan API does not change between Intel, AMD, NVidia and MoltenVK (iOS/macos) GPUs.

What the grandparent is saying though is "that differences between AMD and nVidia GPUs are exposed." Vulkan is so low-level that your application needs to implement workarounds for each GPU's quirks.

OpenGL was high level enough that if you didn't care too much about raw speed, the only place you got into the weeds of GPU quirks was writing your shaders. With Vulkan, the weeds of GPU quirks pop up everywhere.
That's what tab-loving developers are saying the whole time: tab character is that special tooling that can be set by every developer for their own environment. :)
