I think of web3 in a different way than I see it commonly talked about. I think the idea behind the changes in the Internet that people identified as "Web 2.0" was that the Internet was opening up to more people with the creation of sites that allowed user participation. It was a recognition that although the early public Internet allowed anyone to participate, in reality the cost, effort, and know-how involved in setting up a website was a hurdle most people couldn't overcome. So with Web 2.0 the internet was opening up to more people. We now know that this led to a perverse centralization of power. Yes, more people could now participate, but mostly on a few corporate-controlled platforms.

Web 3.0 is supposed to be a continuation of the trend of making the Internet "of the people". Web 1.0 was open to anyone. Web 2.0 was more open. Web 3.0 will be even more open. (In theory.) Web 3.0 isn't about Reddit or the other sites this person mentions. It's about all the new technologies people are coming up with to enable participation on the Internet free from the control of a few centralized corporate platforms. Blockchain is a big part of that, and cryptocurrencies. But so is tildeverse and Mastodon and Gemini and all that stuff.

Also, it's not the case that ARPANET was designed to stay up "if the Soviets took down important cities or strategic datacenters". Bob Taylor, the man who literally made the decision to authorize and fund the ARPANET, has said so himself. "The creation of the ARPAnet was not motivated by considerations of war."
DHT definitely seems to fit. You can even search the DHT itself without using torrents or magnet links at all.
Tons of people said this. They were all right.

So, what's the alternative here? What can people actually do to improve on things?
When I worked at a bank, they used to send me between offices in a limousine. Not because they have so much money, but because I was still working and therefore insured while in a limo, and not insured if I took a taxi or public transit.

I'm sure this is exactly the same issue at play.

I see lot of great and informed comments from specialists and experts in HN comments on any topic. Is there a way to synthesize this knowledge towards actionable intelligence?

I was working on a project about 15 years ago that could tie a website to a business address. The underlying assumption is that many/most legitimate businesses that sell products have registered trademarks. The main purpose of a mark is to enable traceability back to a legitimate, non-ephemeral source for a product. If the reader disagrees that reputable products would have associated trademarks, then stop reading here. :)

These trademarks can be represented in a domain name or TLD. IP offices that register the marks generally obtain physical mailing addresses for physical correspondence. The crux of the idea is that the domain name and TLD do not have to be issued by ICANN. As such, it does not have to follow any pre-established conventions. Trademark registration systems already have unique identifiers and classifications that can be represented in the domain name/TLD. Thus we can create a new, collision-free naming system that offers more than ICANN, e.g., a direct association to an IP office.^1 This leverages the work of IP offices to collect business addresses (or at least addresses of the registrant's lawyers/agents who would by necessity have the business address of the registrant). Under this system the perceived legitimacy of the business is reliant on the trademark registration, not a "TLS certificate". The legitimacy of the domain name/TLD becomes dependant on the trademark registration, not an unaccountable, known-to-be-corrupt entity such as ICANN. To put it simply, names require an associated trademark. The system favours businesses that want to enable consumers to trace a product back to an original, legitimate source. It is a naming system for real(TM) business. :)

Personally, if I were trying to assess the legitimacy of a business, I would rather rely on the records of a trademark office versus the records of a TLS certificate provider. But that's just me.

1. ICANN of course, to ensure its own profits, chose to allow disputes to occur and create quasi-legal dispute resolution systems instead.
"Stroad" seems to be a recently popularized by strongtowns. I'm curious if anyone has actually managed to measure this sort of thing? My suspicion is that it "stroads" are essentially to-wide streets, and it should be possible to find research indicating that streets should be narrower, because widening them causes people to drive too fast. I was only able to find the following, coverage, though:

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2015/05/27/compelling-evidence-t...

https://thecityfix.com/blog/bigger-isnt-always-better-narrow...

They both seem to fundamentally go back to a single conference paper,
"Narrower Lanes, Safer Streets." I don't know those blogs, and a single conference paper is -- I mean the paper is probably good but, hard to build a case on just one paper.

What is up with this? Computer engineers produce reams and reams of papers. Where are the civ.Es hiding their secrets?

The problem with Halo 5 is that you can't actually play it on a PC so it doesn't matter if it's better if you don't play on a gamepad/console.

I do wonder what the numbers would be like if it was available, then we'd have something to compare and if it turns out the MP in Halo 5 was pretty good and Infinite was mostly a 'side grade' or just marginally different that would have been very interesting.
Right. I really need to finish my move off chrome. I get started, and then...

Sure, that's the not the same thing. Many people reflexively back the police because they perceive themselves as benefitting from the status quo or otherwise have it as part of their socio-political identity. Some people back the police because they think they are "good enough" and don't want to think about how to reshape the system. But that isn't what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about a hypothetical. We have a list of problems such as theft, drunk driving, speeding, people in mental health crisis, domestic violence, crowd control, etc. In the hypothetical situation where we have all of these problems, but we don't have the police and never had, do you honestly think we'd assign all of these duties to one position?

> What do you mean by quality of life problems?

Cat in a tree, unwanted person, taking a report about a stolen bicycle, responding to a traffic collision. Non-life threatening situations that have absolutely no need for someone with a gun to respond.

>How do we plan to staff in that model given police response time already averages 5 minutes (would it then be 15, or would we have 3x the cost to fill 3x the positions)?

The police are unqualified to handle most of the calls they are called out to. You'd have different teams that respond to different types of calls. Non-armed responders are a hell of a lot cheaper and are able to respond to the majority of calls. You'd have a small group of armed LEOs who would respond to violent crimes in progress, and then you'd have hybrid responses to stuff like domestic violence where you need a social worker as the primary response and an armed person as a secondary security.

You'd construct your force around those principles. Remember, most cops never fire their weapon.
> such that most people don't need to drive

I disagree that they'll accomplish this for most people. In particular, what about all of the people who live in suburbs but work in the city?

Some perspective: in 1986 the Internet experienced a congestive collapse that reduced the useful throughput by 3 orders of magnitude. End users noticed, and if it happened today there would be pandemonium.

The Internet has become so robust and reliable that end users take the network for granted. At this point most of the headline-making incidents involve services running on the Internet, not the Internet itself (at least in the US, EU, and other highly-connected regions/countries; there are still countries that can be taken offline by just one cable being severed, and their Internet users cannot take the network for granted yet). In my adult life there have only been a handful of significant, global outages/reductions in service quality on the Internet itself. Regional outages happen from time to time, though few are significant enough to make national or international news.

So yes, network-level improvements mean a lot to end users -- they mean that end users can rely on the network itself, and only have to worry about problems at higher levels of the stack.
I work in games, mostly Unity but also backend services and such. I haven't had a lot of success with gitlab caches. In my experiments, it's usually faster and less error prone to simply not use the gitlab shared cache. Most caching benefits seem to come from proper git ignore usage and to forgo the network and file IO cost of a gitlab's cache system.

What kinds of things should be cached? What kind of success are others seeing?

It's even more striking than that. This FBI program isn't even a federal mandate for the states, but rather a mandate for the DoJ. For the states it's just a request. By definition a request can be declined.

Immigration and marijuana restrictions on the other hand are actual laws that were passed by Congress and signed by the President.

Crazy isn't it?

I actually pitched to the American Society of Quality Assurance a few years ago that we should be going to the various governing jurisdictions with a schema and encourage them to publish regulations in a standard format.

The benefits of treating regulations as data are enormous - not only do you have a standard way of consuming and linking regulatory requirements like in an API, you also get discoverability, the ability to make tools (syntax highlighting in legalese!), compile requirements over multiple jurisdictions, and more!

I had difficulty selling the idea among the non-computer-savvy (but technical) regulatory professionals, but I'm sure a few of you on HN can imagine the benefits of having a tree-sitter for legal code...

I could have pushed it further, taking the lead to pitch to the various regulators I work with in my consulting business, but in the end it was just too much work for a side project without interest from my peers.
The article the author cites as a source literally says "the majority of cities have not refunded the police".

If you look at the graph for the address pool (https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/ipv4-pool) you see that the number of available addresses rose starting from February 2020 and then was rather constant until decreasing again in August/September before running out now. To me the timing looks like it's Covid related, I guess many companies didn't want to change their addresses while the admins couldn't get physical access to the servers...

As an Xbox VIP and Halo veteran, I was too timid to play the game, fearing disappointment.

Played a single game, knew I made the right choice by not playing sooner.

Hopefully this will not follow the same fate of Halo 5 and MCC.

MCC took 5 years to be playable from the "Launch party," - Halo 5 is not considered Halo by anyone who had played at any previous title.

I wonder when the (Halo 2) mantra of "throw em in a room with mountain dew and doritos until they have a banger" stopped working.

I think centralization is just a property of reality. Everything is centralized. Crypto is centralized in certain ways (mining capacity, holdings), capital is centralized to the top 0.1% in every country and so on.

It is better to design systems to handle centralization than with the assumption that they will remain decentralized, which would sort of break them.

If the typical HN reader had their way everyone would roll their own versions of AWS services and rewrite their codebases in Rust.
the argument is that streets and roads serve fundamentally different purposes and thus have different design goals, and stroads do both and thus fail at both. Roads are for transit, getting cars a long distance between interest points, and streets are for navigating within a point of interest like a neighbourhood. Roads want to optimise for higher cruising speed and streets are to optimise for parking, mixed-use with pedestrians and cyclists, etc. You can't combine these things - it's not a measurement divide but a categorical one.

it is a made up word, but all words are made up.

> OC'ing ECC is generally a terrible idea, if that's what you're doing.

How so? For example I can see when the higher summer temperatures becomes an issue and reduce my timings, then tighten them again as it gets colder. No more random crashes where I wonder if it's my RAM or something else.

Currently doing 3333MT/s CL14 on 4x16GB of 2666MT/s ECC. I use CL16 in the summer. Since the memory sticks barely are affected by the heat, and that ECC errors occur on the same slot of the motherboard regardless of which stick is in there, I assume its the memory controller on the CPU in combination with four sticks of memory that's the limiting factor here.

I found it to be very interesting from a statistical perspective. The language used does feel outdated, but I quite liked having a real world (tongue in cheek) example to make the math relatable.
