> In good software, disabling those prompts would be a single setting.

There are now several dozen APIs that require prompts to work. And Chrome is busy ramming through several dozen more.

It's not "a single setting to disable these prompts".
Fair enough, I suppose I got a bit carried away. A little good faith goes a long way
> IP, TCP and HTTP are not going away anytime soon. Nobody really knows how would next stage of WWW look like therefore you can't even think about candidate protocols and standards.

IPFS is supposed to also be able to replace HTTP in the stack. Whether that'll succeed or not is a different discussion, but turns out people are thinking about candidate protocols and standards.

People can know what good behaviour is, and not do good; that doesn't mean it isn't helpful to disseminate (widely-agreed-upon!) ideas about what is good. The point is to give the people who want to do good, the information they need in order to do good.

It's all just the Golden Rule in the end; but the Golden Rule needs an accompaniment of knowledge about what struggles people tend to encounter in the world—what invisible problems you might be introducing for others, that you won't notice because they haven't happened to you yet.

"Clicking on links to stuff you needed only to find them broken" is one such struggle; and so "not breaking your own URLs, such that, under the veil of ignorance, you might encounter fewer broken links in the world" is one such corollary to the Golden Rule.
Exactly. Didn't turn out as promised.

There's no need for the FDA to recognize aging itself as a disease to get a therapy through clinical trials. If you have a working aging-prevention or aging-reversal therapy, pick one of many age-associated diseases like arthritis or osteoporosis. Run a trial showing that it successfully and safely treats that specific condition. Once it's approved for any condition it can be approved off-label for other conditions by a willing physician.
Enforceable just not 100%. If they take out main investors, crypto will have a cap that will be way lower than now. Then control gpu where enforce gpu to stop working if it detects crypto usage, a bit like printers unable to print money. Next, stop all exchanges making crypto has no monetary exchange capabilities other than another crypto. Drive all crypto activities to underground and send in the law enforcers as hound to send ordinary citizens to mandatory 10+ years jail term. With math, you just need a pencil and some papers. With crypto you need gpus, electricity and exchange. You do the math how easy to crack down on crypto miners.

I’ll go one better, ADSL doesn’t even need two continuous wires to work, one is good enough as long as the other is just barely electrically coupled. I had a 12 month epic journey to get a performance fault fixed on my line. In the end it took 6 technician visits, three senior technicians and finally one smart experienced technician to check the “not in the textbook” faults for a performance degradation and he discovered that my line had was actually mis-wired! I had one wire connected to the exchange and another was a barely connected lose joint (actually disconnected but still technically in the plastic joint housing) about half way to the exchange. I was still getting a few megabits with intermittent drop outs for months on what amounted to a single wire!

I didn't say appraisals didn't matter. I said the appraised values are usually nonsense.

For example, how a house is oriented wrt the sun is a big deal, but that never factors into an appraisal. Build quality, comps, etc., do not affect this. Around Seattle, susceptibility to water damage depends on a long list of things that never factor into an appraisal, either, but there's no way I'd buy a house that had a driveway that sloped towards the garage.

Capitalizing "Black" is part of the New York Times style guide. I don't think it's reasonable to assume ulterior motive. They could just be following a journalistically-accepted style guide.

According to [1], the NYT style guide capitalizes "Black" because "it refers to a shared cultural identity (like Latino, Asian, and Native American). "Brown" is not capitalized because it refers to a wide range of cultures, and "white" doesn't represent a shared culture and history, and additionally is capitalized by hate groups.

Yeah I see no issue for “installed” PWAs having access to real status, I just don’t want to see any hint of a prompt while I’m in my browser. The web’s lack of intention-gating makes it too ripe for abuse, but once a PWA is installed the user has expressed interest and a higher level of consent.
> I just want the common man to see crypto for what it really is with a balanced debate or interview, not just a blog post that only 'nerds' reads as Diehl states.

I've been following this space for a while and honestly I don't see how a counterpart would actually look like. We had blockchains/crypto for almost 13 years and the only thing that came out of it is a speculative semi-unregulated asset market. Still Forbes, NYT etc... always write articles like "Cryptocurrencies are volatile asset that is doomed to crash, but the underlying blockchain technology is here to say". Without offering any kind of proof for the second part of the statement.

Show me one blockchain application that has nothing to do with virtual assets that not only turns a profit but is provably more efficient than a database based solution.

Whenever I bring this up, the response is usually: "We're just at the beginning, this will take a while". For a space that is claiming the disruption of everything it's moving pretty slow.
loll yea we’ll all get right on that
Historically, US destroy any countries that dares to undermine USD. Given China now is on board, US has no stronger military opponent to crush. Russia is already very muted. That SAmerican country using crypto officially will see something happening soon. May God has mercy on their souls.

>That seems pretty obvious no?

It seems pretty obvious to a lot of people that the cost of schools is not proportional to the number of students who are being educated.

I remember years and years ago someone explaining how, if you have X fewer students, you can't just heat part of or sell part of a building, so costs don't decrease.

>I don't see any racism or discrimination here

I'm sure there is both individual racism and institutional racism.

I'm not certain how the former works, since I have never seen a tax assessor in person. For that matter, I've never seen an insurance assessor, they seem to just drop by when I'm not there.

> A well written PWA will use a lot more battery, network, CPU, and memory than a well written native app. That's not solvable.

What complete nonsense. It's hardly baked into the rules of the universe. Of course Apple could figure this out at a technical level, it just doesn't work for their profit margins. Besides, it should be my choice and not Apple's whether I want to install an app that uses more CPU.

> They are good for developers but bad for users.

There are entirely valid use cases where the expense and hassle of making native apps prevents any app existing at all. Small businesses building apps for their staff, individuals building apps for themselves or families, small groups of friends.
"Black" =/= "black". "Black" refers to a group of people who are lumped together for how they're perceived/treated in (American/western) society. "black" refers to materials which don't reflect visible light.
also, the infra (which ADSL runs on) was build in a time when telephone companies used to be either state-owned or a single monopoly with heavy goverment involvement.

I'm from Québec and GAFAM is the usual media term for the big tech companies here. Amusing how the acronym got (IMO appropriately) corrected in translation, tho I'm not sure if it's just an artifact of it sounding cool (whereas GAFAN would be read out "gafɑ̃")
Multiple questions inside the same packet are quite common in DNS-SD based multicast queries.

The idea there is to save DNS packets so that you only ask for a pointer (PTR) to a service identifier and get as a response all information that you need (address via A/AAAA, hostname and port via SRV, API version and necessary parameters via TXT etc).

My point was exactly about the QDCOUNT field because its intent clearly was to be able to save unnecessary packets, but in practice, nobody uses it and wastes a lot of bandwidth. Note that technically, servers have to support TCP via port 53, too...but they never actually do :)

As a sidenote: 0x0c is only appearing because it's the start of the label identifier of the first question. This can be a byte pointer to anything, and, if labels of records are crafted maliciously, even lead to an infinite loop or buffer overflow on clients/resolvers with naive implementations (see NAMEWRECK vulnerability [1]).

Regarding the ANY problem and why it's disabled: I think this is the wrong point in the architecture to fix DDoS or amplification attacks and the abuse of a public resolver. ISPs or ASNs could simply block UDP traffic which has a different source/target network. That alone would reduce most of the DDoS traffic and probably fix most of the abuse.

I mean, at some point you have to wonder: What happens when hackers start to use TXT queries to DDoS a target because their buffer size is larger, too? Just disable TXT? I hope you understand my point.

A DNS server could also always block via a throttling mechanism or increase the TTL to limit the bandwidth to a specific target, additionally to the comparison of source/target addresses. If someone with a different origin keeps requesting DNS queries, you can likely assume that it's an amplification attack...there are literally dozens of ways to fix this in a better way than disabling ANY completely.

The secret is keeping performance in mind throughout your whole tech stack and in your application code. Do that, and you might not even need to scale beyond a couple machines for redundancy, depending on your SLOs.

I’ve said this a couple times before, but it bears repeating - nginx can easily serve a million 1 kB static files per second over TLS from just one machine with a modern Xeon/EPYC CPU. Serving dynamic content doesn’t have to perform any worse than one or two orders of magnitude below that.
I don't have stats on that, but I'm sure the StarkWare community would love to help

This is certainly not the case in all states. In Texas, the actual sale price is considered the private details of a private transaction (unless, of course, a public entity is party to the transaction). Companies like Zillow and Black Knight make a big part of their business by making educated guesses.

For example, here's an article explaining that "Texas REALTORS® opposes all legislative efforts to require the disclosure of sales-price information":

https://www.texasrealestate.com/members/government-affairs/l...

Still, there's a substantial amount of data out there (such as the last publicly offered price and how long it took to close, so you can get a pretty good idea for how low the seller had to drop the price to close the deal).

In Texas, appraisals (both tax and financing) are based, in part, on the estimates that companies like Zillow, Black Knight, Core Data, etc all provide.

Since it is germaine to the article, it's interesting to note that none of these automated appraisal companies record the race or skin color of the current home owners.
That's highly speculative. Look at other tech revolutions and advancements: It hasn't always gone that way. The smartphones, cars, and PCs of billionaires aren't much better than that of normal people.

It's not a formality. Failing to appraise for purchase price is possible and happens. The formality aspect is the apprised value number itself. Really it only represents 'greater than or equal to whatever the bank needs'. There's no reason for an appraiser to come up with a higher value but they may find a lower value. This is why appraisals for refinancing can lower- the financed amount is usually less than market value.
The reason Google wouldn't have been able to do that has nothing to do with freedom of speech here, though. It's not at all relevant.
Notifications from websites that I don't want to receive are spam. Perhaps it's a webapp where I communicate with friends, and want to be notified.

It violates the entire premise that laws are legitimate if they represent the consent of the governed. People don't even know this exists, but we're already being told the administrative state in the form of the DOT will hash out the details.

I'd be curious to see the figures for city councils, not just mayors. I believe in most municipalities they vote on the tax changes.

Chicago has 50 aldermen (city councilmen) and not a single official Republican. That has been the case for at least a couple decades if I recall correctly.
I think this relies on the particular string being a linear time-invariant channel. There is some limit where the string won't react accordingly (at a certain low or high frequency). What is that later phenomenon called, anyone know?
Until the IPFS devs decide that IPFS protocol v1 might become insecure in the medium term and create an new, secure, better, incompatible IPFS protocol v2 and every link, every search index, every community ever suddenly disappears. Don't laugh. It happened to Tor two months ago. The onion service bandwidth has been reduced by about 2/3 over November as distros and people upgraded to incompatible Tor v3 only software.

We use guacamole as a way to gatekeep access to servers which are explicitly made vulnerable for students to attack.

We give students a Kali Linux box, and a server with dozens of vulnerabilities.. and we don't have to worry about those vulnerable targets being otherwise internet accessible.

This!

With at additional level of abstraction you could say “goto jumps”, but “if and loops” gives an commonly understandable logic for everyone; deeper abstractions increase reading complexities, while higher abstraction is achieved via functions and overall architecture.

Scaling up those “if and loops” is the challenge as a team or a single, with the common goals being to keep the software under control.
48VDC but yes. Sounds like we're agreed that the information is being transmitted via AC or another alternating signal.
Also, sending a singal across fiber is definitely not easy.

ADSL is basically modulating a radio wave over a cable directly to another device.
Fiber requires high quality optics, high quality lasers, tons of active hardware if you want to do it at scale. (not to mention the mind boggling physics and manufacturing required for things like DWDM, optical path switching etc).

Fiber optics have existed since the 80's yes, but prices of high quality fiber solutions have only dropped massively in the last decade or so.

There are some fascinating practices which have all but ensured racial segregation in some major US cities.

In Minneapolis there was some good reporting on how racial covenants split communities and our city's culture.[0]

There was a link to racial covenants in the article that shows how prominent they still are even in more left leaning districts like the bay area.[1]

Well said, this hits home. Also constant refactoring and maintenance of the codebase without adding any new features.
Yeah PKI has been around of course for a long time and is a core facet to how the web functions today. The private key authentication I'm referring to is because wallet extensions allow for users to connect their wallet to applications, as a method of authentication. You don't even have to have funds in your wallet to perform this authentication, you just need a wallet.

If you lose your private key, you're probably out of luck, but there may be some wallets / platforms that have strategies to mitigate risk, but idk to be honest. So yes, for sensitive applications it is a risk vector, however for users that are already familiar with crypto, it's not really a new risk. If you ever lose your private key or it's compromised you can lose whatever money is in that wallet.

The thing that I like about the infra personally as a solo dev is that using this for authentication for small scale applications on whatever chain I chose is really easy to set up and is a great user experience, and I'm not worried about this as an app developer as my target audience already should be vaguely familiar with how this works.

That's a good thing. Having an established governance process would be an attack vector.
The chinese government is not kneecapping them, it's carefully forcing them to fall in line, and doing so in a way that won't hurt its own interests.

Remember that in China, the government is the kingmaker. In the US/EU, the companies are the kingmakers. China is simply reminding some of it's companies that this is the case.

As for the last, good luck. You have a coherent long term strategy that they are willing to sacrifice short term for on one side, and a completely incoherent mess that changes every 4-6 years on the US/EU side.

After they are finished kneecapping the US/EU companies, they will need these chinese companies more than china needs them.
Not exactly a great negotiating position - there will come a point where you say "sell", and they say "nah, that's okay, we're good".
