Halfway through the article is this extraordinarily helpful information (given that I know nothing at all about aircraft paint):

> When Airbus 15 years ago launched the A350, it chose to follow Boeing's new 787 in using carbon-fibre instead of metal.

> Experts say the lighter jets consume less fuel but are harder to deck out in a way that makes paint stick.

> The new jets also need a layer of metallic mesh to dissipate lightning strikes because carbon-fibre is not conductive.

> Finally, unlike metal, carbon does not expand and shrink as temperatures change. Yet paint does, resulting in a tug of war between plane and paint that can cause peeling over time.

> Problems reported by Qatar Airways and some - though far from all - other A350 operators suggest this is happening earlier than expected, two people familiar with the design said.

> The problem may have been compounded by the paint's especially weak adhesion to titanium rivets, they added.

I wonder how dissimilar the paint and/or painting process is to the 787. Perhaps it will one day suffer the same issues.
> Because you have to physically do it, as opposed to hacking from anywhere else on the planet.

My impression is that the adversarial image attacks in question involve physically placing a sticker on something which will be in the view of self-driving cars -- it's not a remote exploit.

Keep going! It gets funnier as you keep looking. (For those playing the home game, it's just `host -t ds <domain>` to check for DNSSEC; `host -t ds salesforce.com` is what it looks like when you do have DNSSEC enabled.)

To save some trouble: other companies that haven't enabled DNSSEC include Mozilla, Netflix, Stripe, Bank of America, Citigroup, Microsoft, Adobe, Oracle, Amazon, Intel, IBM, Atlassian, Coinbase, Equinix, Datadog, Twilio, Ebay, and Shopify.

Speaking of Salesforce: the chatter is that the real reason Slack enabled DNSSEC briefly is because Salesforce --- their parent company --- already had it enabled, presumably for the same bogus FedRAMP reason.

Cloudflare is probably the most notable DNSSEC user. But then: Cloudflare sells DNSSEC services.

I don't often want to be on-call, but when I do, it goes like this

My team managed to get paid for oncall that we had set up with a number of false positives, click-to-fix alerts, "override if slightly above threshold", rules for not paging outside of work hours, and whatnot that makes it bearable.

That extra compensation is at 1/3 of hourly rate, so effectively it is like paying for working during weekends (1/3 * 24h = 8h) and some smaller bonus for weekdays.

Perhaps it might make up for the pandemic inflation
Wouldn't planned obsolescence actually speed up tech progress?
Old things lasting forever are taking places for new things.
I thought Boeing blamed it on a combination of poor maintenance practices by the relevant airlines, poor handling and response to inflight error messages and maintenance requests on previous flights that left the issue unaddressed, and then weaknesses on the pilot side during the accident flights?

I personally think they went a bit overboard with the revised procedure memory items.
No, they no longer exist. TV manufacturers have correctly determined that data mining is actually far more profitable than just selling panels. It's gone from smart TVs being a value added feature to being something that subsidizes the cost of the display itself to the consumer through advertising. There's a huge race now to win the smart TV OS market that is driving companies like Roku to massive valuations based on that.
That's really insightful. Maybe that's one reason that I like MeWe: it has a feed, but it's so useless that I ignore it completely and use the chats attached to the various groups I joined. I use it like a hub of forums.

Always-on spyware that can brick your TV at any moment due to discontinued services you didn't consent. None of this hardware is useful for 90+% of TV purchasers, they're plugging it into an existing device and never using any self-hosted features, so it is just an added cost that only benefits advertisers and state sponsored actors.
That's interesting, but it doesn't look like you have many choices at the 55" size unless you're willing to pay double what I paid 4 years ago for my Sony.

As much as we see AES-GCM, this particular observation has concerned me:

"The GCM slide provides a list of pros and cons to using GCM, none of which seem like a terribly big deal, but misses out the single biggest, indeed killer failure of the whole mode, the fact that if you for some reason fail to increment the counter, you're sending what's effectively plaintext (it's recoverable with a simple XOR). It's an incredibly brittle mode, the equivalent of the historically frighteningly misuse-prone RC4, and one I won't touch with a barge pole because you're one single machine instruction away from a catastrophic failure of the whole cryptosystem, or one single IV reuse away from the same. This isn't just theoretical, it actually happened to Colin Percival, a very experienced crypto developer, in his backup program tarsnap. You can't even salvage just the authentication from it, that fails as well with a single IV reuse ("Authentication Failures in NIST version of GCM", Antoine Joux)."

The problem is the lack of a coherent framework of rules that correctly apply existing constitutional principles to modern technology. The 4th amendment should have been sufficient to prevent the casual destruction of the concept of privacy, but it's become overwhelmingly apparent that we need an explicit framework protecting individual digital information rights. Make commercial surveillance illegal, or prevent mass harvesting of private data, and you've solved much of what's fundamentally wrong with big tech.

Problems with Facebook, et al, are symptoms of bad legislation. By focusing energy on "fixing" the companies, we risk losing sight of the institutional failures that allowed them to become a problem.
>"But still, a server should rarely ever be your bottleneck. Your application's DB I/O will be."

I have C++ server. Instead of constantly querying DB it holds all business data in RAM in appropriate structures optimized for real time usage, not how they're kept in DB. All read requests are basically limited by network IO except when some request calculates some more or less complex math. No waiting for DB. Writes are batched and a frequency of those is way less than that of reads.

It reverse proxied by Nginx. Putting Caddy instead would be a disaster if Caddy is much slower.
> So - you can eat whatever you like, treat your body how you like, but that doesn't matter?

No, not at all. You can give yourself diabetes, become obese, or increase your risk of cancer. You need certain nutrients, and too much sugar is pretty bad for you. That isn't the same thing as getting the flu, which is a demonstrable infectious disease.

> Why do people believe it is good to say organic food or pure water?

Organic food is nonsense. Tap water in the developed world is safer than bottled water.

> Your view in the opposite then, is that people should eat cheap food/water as it makes better sense. Disease is mainly due to the germs, and not really to do with the decisions you make re foods and lifestyle.

Not at all. I'm stating that things like terrain theory are bullshit. Of course eating like shit will make you sick, but not because of "toxins".

Super cool! I've built something similar and adhoc for an art piece[0] that used cameras. It used a thermal camera which has fixed focal length (due to the optics of heat (technically not accurate, you can do variable focal length for thermal but it's way expensive)), and so knowing exactly what I was going to see was critical before dropping a few grand on the camera. A tool like this would have been super useful!

One small bit of feedback, the installation height doesn't impact the rendered person. I was expecting the rendered person to be a 3D model that was rasterized into the target resolution, but when I put the camera nearly overhead, it doesn't show primarily the top of the model's head, it still shows a mostly frontal view.

What's interesting with the gun "debate" is that all the focus is on legal weapons (and law abiding citizens).

I mean, the system could be using Mesa with the llvmpipe driver. Software rendering but OpenGL 4.5 compliant. That's why I suggested looking at the output of glxinfo.
Yeah, that works for several models. I do it with my slightly older Samsung to make it dumb.

Unfortunately, many manufacturers are now forcing you to stay connected to WiFi to use the TV. “TV phone home!”
I suppose they're going to monetize more aggressively? Sigh...
This depends on your threat model. Here is mine, in order of importance:

1. Compromised local network (such as bad public wifi, tampering by ISP)

2. Compromised registrar (DNS or CA)

3. Compromised backbone internet (possibly because of state-level interference)

4. Compromised infrastructure of the website I am visiting

("4" is all the way at the end of the list because if the website is compromised, they likely can get access to DB/web server directly, and DNS/TLS things don't really matter)

So even without HSTS, you are protected against 1 and 3; and, thanks to Certificate Transparency, have a good way to detect 2 (because Let's Encrypt does DNS queries from multiple regions and writes all certificates to CT Log). This is all live and works right now. And the threat of browser removal really causes CA to pay attention to browser security.

Compared to this, the DNSSEC solves 1 (at least so I've heard, the original spec was vulnerable); does not solve 2 and removes all the pressure for registrars to improve; and just gives up on 3 when the state is involved.

Additionally, your "upload a certificate chain" approach sounds like you want to skip using CT, which means that detection of 2 and 3 is also gone.

In the past there were more reasons to use DNSSEC. But now, when Let's Encrypt exists, and the state-endorsed internet interference happens in multiple countries, it simply makes no sense.

Is it worth the money? When to buy products for your job
The internet is a little different as on tv they cant follow you from channel to channel recommending things for you to watch. Tv shows cost a good deal of money to produce so the range of offerings is limited. On the internet, algorithms track your every click even to the point of noticing that you paused on a headline but did not click it. They are able to build a profile on you that is likely more accurate than anything ever created before including your understanding of yourself. With this profile they also have an almost unlimited supply of videos, articles and social media posts to send your way that your profile says you will likely click on. Each time you click on something their profile is updated and improved. They are able to create a steady stream of offered media that cannot help but reinforce your views on the world as you are quite often not presented with much of an alternative. If you are not a technical person and you are only presented with news that supports your political ideology you may very well think that everyone else is getting the same feed. This would make them think that if you are getting the same news as them and still hold a different viewpoint then you are being willfully ignorant and choosing to be malicious. See the rise of the "liberalism is a disease" meme. For example if all the news you see says Biden is senile and a terrible person, why would you not believe it? In the same way in which someone on the left was presented with a very negative feed of Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his nomination process. A good example of how powerful the ML algorithms are now is NBA player Kyrie Irving and his trip down the youtube rabbit hole that convinced him the earth was flat. He also holds Anti-Vax ideas, which were most likely influenced by his internet browsing habits.
Many/most of the built-in interfaces of smart TVs are slow, buggy, and ad/tracker-ridden and have a limited upgrade path, if any.

Since there are effectively no dumb TVs on the market anymore, I bought a fancy Sony TV with AndroidTV built-in, hoping that'd it'd be decent enough to use out of the box. Nope. Slow, laggy, and some of the big name streaming apps from the app store just plain don't work.

Also when the TV updated itself it broke HDMI-CEC for a good couple months before another update fixed it. Screw that.

Bought an AppleTV and it's been great. Unplugged the SmartTV from the network and treat it as a dumb TV now.

Yes I know AppleTV is tracking me, too, but at least the user experience is great with no ads.

I had to do that. My Samsung couldn’t leave “demo mode” or whatever without going online first and would restart itself every hour.
I just let it register and blocked it from coming out my router. It stays quiet like that. I believe removing the wifi showed some nag when booting that I had to deal with. Real scummy stuff.

Zero smart features, and all modern capabilities. It's also a TV, as opposed to a computer monitor, so it has the expected TV speakers and ports.
Why not just use a centralized system if a human judge is the arbiter for disputes with respect to the operation of the system?
Solana, beyond the extreme hardware requirements to run a node, is deeply economically centralizing. It's more or less a standard delegated proof of stake stake system with one nasty twist - validators have to pay transaction fees to vote. At current sol prices this is about $100,000/year. This has some very big implications in a dpos system. In dpos, a validator gets validation slots proportional to their delegation and staking level, and you earn the transaction fees paid in those slots. More delegation, more slots, more fees earned from users and from other validators voting on the correctness of the chain. The net effect is that if your validator has a delegation level below the average of all the validators, you will bleed out your capital over time to validators that have an above average delegation. To add a nastier twist to this, the Solana foundation in their generosity, contributes delegation out of their Sol allocation to validators that they like. Essentially, the foundation gets to decide who will be a profitable validator and who won't.

Because it's cheap to replace a roku/chromecast as technology evolves, but TVs tend to be longer-term investments. Hating smart TVs is akin to hating cars that have built-in factory navigation systems. Content streaming devices/services (and mapping/navigation/music for cars) regularly evolve/change with the fast pace of technology and the Internet, while TVs and Cars are hardware you hang onto for a long period of years. You don't want outdated tech baked into your hardware forever, especially tech built in by companies that don't specialize in that stuff to begin with.

The usual counterexample to this is the famous Sudoku implementation comparison between Norvig and Jeffries, where Norvig's upfront design seemed to quickly and nicely solve the problem at hand and Jeffries eschewing of design led to blindly iterating into nowhere.

At this point the class of problems to be solved with software is too diverse and messy to ever be cleanly encapsulated by a single batch of "best practices." It would much more useful to me if every neat, clean set of best practices came with case studies of when it succeeded spectacularly and when it absolutely crashed and burned to gain an intuition of when to apply them and when to ignore them.
I just tried it.

Slow, unresponsive, probably Electron based or something similar.

When the app is so unresponsive, no matter how nice it looks or how polished the UX is, it is ruined from the first 10 seconds of using it.
Look, I think it’s a legitimate question, and I’m not thrilled about most “smart” TV operating systems. But why pigeonhole your search like this? You will almost certainly end up with a worse actual display, which is what you’re spending the money on in the first place. Just buy a nice panel and disable as much of the smarts as you can—-it’ll be fine. Android TV is the best option out there, in my opinion; and it’s what Sony’s run (the best panels out there).

If you buy something marketed as a monitor, it will have no (or terrible) audio, and you will struggle to find something in the >=65” class. I think it’s a fine option for a spare TV, but it doesn’t cut it for the living room.

I get why HN hates smart TV’s, but unfortunately the ship has sailed. I’d rather have a nice TV than be an activist, gotta choose your battles.
The southern states were required to ratify the 14th Amendment as a condition of having any federal representation, and it nullified a prior Supreme Court ruling on the Constitution. The 15th Amendment was specifically designed to counter anticipation of tactics to dodge the 14th Amendment.

You were just talking about how the 14th Amendment reflects how the Constitution adapts to the changing values of a nation. Yes, after one side shoots the other side into agreement, and after 750,000 lives ended. Then the victor decided the outcome of history.

One can only imagine how the course of the Constitution would have been "independent" to the course of the Civil War if the northern states had lost.
We have a lot of them where I live. They're always in the stores and restaurants trying to get stuff. I mostly shop online so I don't run into too many of them, which is nice.
You should read about the CIA's study about words of estimative probability : https://waf.cs.illinois.edu/visualizations/Perception-of-Pro...

Basically, when you use a term like "seemingly likely", you do have a number range in mind. Always. Be it 50%-70% or 40%-60%. It's impossible not to.

And it became a problem for CIA agents communicating with each other, because different people have different sense of what numbers fit a given term. It's better to be clear about what you mean by giving explicit numbers. It's understood in this sort of context anyway that your number is not calculated from anything, that it's only the rough middle of a range that sounds right to you.
