Great that this old tech is still being shared, examined, and executed. All our current tech has such a rich history that is most often ignored.
Yeah Apple tried to kill the Mac… and then popped out with the biggest jump in laptop chips in a decade. That chip effort, along with everything that supports it in the new M1 machines was many years in the making.
He personally related that to a group of us after a NextWorld keynote when someone asked him where he got a particular idea.
> You blame someone specific, but we don't really know where you caught it. It could just as well have been passed to you by your girlfriend, your neighbor, etc. Yours is a "just-so" story and may be true but likely is not. If you want to publish there are blogs where you can publish and add supporting facts.

I know exactly how and from whom I caught it, I don't need to go into details to gain some kind of "cred" from you to believe me.

On the other hand, you know absolutely nothing about me, my living situation or any aspect of my life to be able to infer anything about if I know or not how this came to be, or to question my anecdote.

Please, don't jump into conclusions because you want to. My living situation is pretty unique and so makes it completely possible to trace back the original infection.
The only thing more tedious and brain-breaking than tracking down client-side JS memory leaks is tracking down server-side JS (Node) memory leaks.

> hooks are the model

Unless you mock a hook at the module import level (which is hacky), you lose the easy testability of your component. That's long been bothering me about hooks, although I use them plenty.
At least it's using some OSS, like osquery, c.f. <https://cdn.drata.com/agent/osquery/queries.json>, so you can easily see quite a bit of what it's going to gather.
It may be that a plurality of people prefer a web where rules may exclude those people lacking a certain civility, leaving web3 to be a haven of the banned and otherwise unhostable. Freenet has been doing that for 20 years now so its unclear that crypto really adds anything to the basic social dilemmas of sharing platforms with people you wouldn’t give the time of day to.

sidebar but onlyfans banning porn may have just been a genius marketing move that made them a household name - a porn site banning porn, what late night host could resist?

That is the official story. Obviously, though, it's really about kneecapping PRC's rapidly growing high-tech industries and "containing China's rise".
> Microsoft has embraced Linux and open source in general to the extent that it helps them expand into larger markets.

Yeah. Basically they're smarter this time and found a way to remove the reason to install a Linux Distro on any desktop by just 'extending' WSL2 and adding optimized NVIDIA drivers that are designed only for WSL2.

Which means Windows is the best Linux distro then. Why bother with the Linux Desktop since that has failed anyway?
> It's not the tail wagging the dog, though. The large contingent of Americans who throw their political weight in an organized way behind gun ownership as a point of principle were rallied by the gun manufacturing industry. It wasn't organic.

Idk exactly what you mean by organic, but if it means what I think you're trying to say, idk what's more organic than creating the Second Amendment which was created long before there were gun lobbyists.

> It didn't happen in Australia or New Zealand or the UK even though gun enthusiasts exist in all of those countries.

America is a different country isn't it?
Nothing new here. I spent a few years working in war zones. I made friends with journalists. They were all (even the "good" ones that I became friends with) full of crap. Even if they wanted to tell the truth they couldn't, because they didn't understand the subject matter well enough.

Edit to refine my point due to presumed misunderstanding: At the end of the day it's about dollars. News is there to sell, not to explain truths.

Always these comparisons to wildly successful products. Airplanes, smartphones, the internet, the computer. A great hype technique.

Any day now, just you wait, once we have PoS or Zkp or Cardano launches X or people adopt Solana, etc... crypto is going to do something amazing and unforseen, indescribable and worldchanging besides trading it for more crypto.
In the same way China would prefer to forget Tiananmen Square?

You are free in America to talk about the Tulsa race massacre as much as you like. You can look it up on the web, you can buy books about it. The government won't threaten you for doing so. It is taught in some schools and universities. In Oklahoma, it is required by law to be taught in schools. Every year at the end of May there are articles published about how no one knows about the Tulsa race massacre.

That is not equivalent to the way China would prefer to forget Tiananmen Square. Those two things are not the same at all. America is not China. Freedom is not slavery.
They just read the file.

You seem to be under the impression that either of those imply end-to-end encryption, which they don't. (And in Drive's case, AFAIK, E2EE is not an offered nor advertised feature.) The data was encrypted during transmission to Google's servers, sure, but it was encrypted to them; similarly, yeah, they store it encrypted … and they have the key.

(This isn't atypical either, sadly. E2EE is the exception…)
Now you are falling victim to a very common cognitive bias known as the "base rate fallacy". Please read the following:

In the case of my numbers, I'm based in the US. I wish we had a high enough vaccination rate to worry about the base rate fallacy. I'm surrounded by rural areas who unfortunately don't believe in vaccines until they show up in the ER. We have an enormous surgical backlog due to antivaxxers having filled up the hospitals for months on end.

While there may be some correlation between some static typing and less bugs, there definitely isn't a linear relationship: stronger type system => fewer bugs.

In particular, strong types past some point start exploding code complexity for any kind of polymorphic code. My favorite example is adding strong typing to linear algebra operations, via units of measure for each element of a matrix. Try to find a library that can multiply matrices where each element can be a different physical quantity (of course, validating first that the two matrices can actually be multiplied) - say, multiplying (1m 2s⁻¹) * (2s⁻¹ 1m)ᵀ = 2m/s + 2m/s = 4m/s; but not allowing (1m 2s⁻¹) * (2m 1s⁻¹)ᵀ, since it would be 2m² + 2s⁻².

Even if you can find such a library, it will be significantly more complex than an equivalent linear algebra library that is less strongly typed (one that only handles matrices of numbers, without units of measure).
Your third source summarizes the common knowledge that has already been stated here: anyone can practice on their own with cheap or free materials to achieve the same benefit of those expensive classes.
You're operating under a binary understanding. Forks are the very obvious proof that what you say is wrong - they are a primitive way of settling disputes but a good starting point none the less.

Token governance is the next step from forking that isn't so arduous. With proper governance, the community around a token can come to a consensus that a mistake led to irrecoverable funds (for example) for one user and if the amount is worth the time issue a proposal and vote on minting replacement tokens for that user. Token holders are the share holders of their protocol, no reason all the normal operations that make a business safer for users can't be implemented in token contracts.

Try not to confuse the current state with what's possible.
Do the thieves re-secure your car after they steal everything of value from it? If not, then aren't you at risk of a "poop trunk" anyway?
I'd say it's pretty broad when so many countries banned it completely.
If you compare how China treats discussion and remembrance of Tiananmen to the how the US treats the Tulsa Race Massacre you will find there is no comparison.

It's true that many in the US don't know about it but many in the US cannot find China on a map so ignorance of the thing might be explainable by something rather more benign than the oppressive and punitive way China handles things.

In recent years information and documentaries on the Tulsa race massacre have been popping up with regularity. The information is easy to find, there are multiple documentaries you have easy access to, the government (in the form of the Tulsa Historical Society) has a very through website exploring what happened, etc. More importantly no one is punished for exploring and discussing this topic. Quite the opposite lately, it is of growing interest to many in the US. Now compare that to China and the Tiananmen Square massacre. As I said at the top, no comparison at all.

I'm not a rah rah "Murican", either. I am very critical of my own country (as I think we all should be.. you can't improve if you don't learn from the bad) and the US has many problems that should be addressed but to compare China and the US on these points is not even a little reasonable, in my opinion. It shows a lack of knowledge of both China (someplace I have lived for years) and the US (where I grew up and currently live). Also, your example of drinking in public is just a generalization and of all the things you could have picked that would be valid arguments, is not a good one. In my community in Ohio you can drink anywhere in the downtown public area, for example and it is several square miles in area.
The World Is Burning the Most Coal Ever to Keep the Lights On
As Russ Roberts details in https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRZf05zFBLXIKLD3blbnn... things are more complicated. A lot of the analysis about things being flat since 1970 makes assumptions about things being the same which aren't true.
In the US, a company cannot mandate that stuff if you are in fact an independent contractor. If they get to monitor your actions, you've got a strong rationale for claiming you are in fact an employee.

Lot of companies like to pull this BS thinking independent contractors are just cheap employees. They are in reality, wholly autonomous individuals that operate within the grounds of a contract. If I have to give them a product in X months, go dark for all X, then give them exactly what they needed in X months, I have fulfilled my obligations. They absolutely cannot monitor or manage you at all.

I would tell them to get renegotiate the contract or get bent. They can demand all the oversight they want, but I'd explicitly state that they are monitoring me like a W-2 employee and not a 1099 independent contractor (like that explicit). This would ruffle some feathers but I'd make that clear so they know I'm not afraid to walk away. Some schmuck isn't going to pretend he cant just walk all over me just cause he has money. Having to screw around and find another vendor that can deliver something for them in the time they need it is just as important as getting it for the price you pay.
iPhone 2G was released when 3G networks were becoming common among better telcos. For critical period in the early 3GPP network stack, it was niche player.

However, Mobile networks are actually biggest users of IPv6, especially if the rumour I heard about licensing being cheaper on IPv6 is true (IPv6 is also in many ways cheaper on backbone implementation).

This is why Apple recommends IPv6 accessible sites, because for many mobile networks IPv6 is faster - it avoids multiple levels of network address translation through possibly limited number of gateways.

The mobile stack itself doesn't really care for IPv4 vs IPv6 except for v6 making it much easier to build the network and having easier IP Mobility (keeping connections across moving addresses). Protocols run perfectly well on both v4 and v6 (SIP, IPsec, various other L4 and higher protocols involved)
>>The last thing we need is an equally impactful response in the opposite direction.

We need a MORE impactful response form this side, but it does not have to be instant.

And you are correct that it has to be carefully investigated, soundly based, and measured for maximum effect.

Ultimately, if you are a "student" here and are participating in state power projection, spying, or abuse of anyone merely participating in protected activities, we need to expel you not only from the school but from the country.

Would China tolerate US "students" on their land spying, attempting to project US power, or abusing others on their land? Not for a second, and we shouldn't either.

Moreover, stronger actions need to be taken to provide consequences to the CCP for attempting this kind of nonsense.

The CCP also needs to stop it from home, because the repeated spy cases of Chinese ppl in academia have already tainted the reputation of ALL Chinese students. I'm sure it is already shutting them out of interesting internships that might also use even CUI (Controlled Unclassified Data) in unrelated parts of the business.
Rust isn't a bizarre comparison at all. Suppose I have before me some programming task. I can choose Rust, Haskell, or something else. Anyone arguing for Haskell in 2021 (2022?) has to justify why it's a better tool for the job than Rust.

The Essential Guide to Kubernetes Service Discovery
I'm not sure I agree with this. One of the elements of a well-designed system (whether we're talking about software libraries or anything else) is that the designer should reward people for doing what they like. If you design something where the correct approach cuts against people's natural inclinations, they'll just use something else. The correct answer is to design paradigms that make the right thing pleasurable.
small world. I posted about this in the Raleigh subreddit and got nothing. Thanks.

We should never yield a political, ideological, or material inch to the barbaric CCP and their brainwashed citizens.
If by 'undemocratic' you mean autocratic, it isn't proponents of democracy that are stripping them of agency. It is their form of government.

However, understanding the pro's and con's of any type of government, including autocracies, is a worthy pursuit. We can learn something from anyone.

I had this same kind of impression writing product/business reports as an engineering manager at Oracle and elsewhere. But my way of solving it was to build a smarter IDE that helps you do this stuff without ETL.

You shouldn't need to waste time every time you build a report figuring out again how to query Postgres/MySQL/Elastic in Python and how to generate graphs and where to host it or how to set up recurring alerts on changes. The only part you should care about is the actual queries to write, the joins to do between datasets, and the fields to graph. The actual integration code (connecting to the database, copying a file from a remote server, etc.) should be handled for you.

The tool I'm building to solve this is open source if you're curious!

That's called an allegation, an assumption. And alleging students said some dumb shit is different than proving collusion with PRC gov unless Purdue can dig up files from PRC MSS. In the meantime, the parsimonious answer is kids playing with PRC cancel culture, because to my knowledge there hasn't been a single proven allegation of PRC kids directly reporting other PRC nationals on western campus. Plenty of yellow journalism alleging collusion from the last few years, but zero expulsions despite China Initiative cracking down on campus harder than ever. That should tell you something. If anything I hope Kong / Purdue hits up the proper authorities and finally get some clarity on the extends of the issue other than non-stop news cycle weasel allegations. IMO the likely outcome is dumb kids trigger cancel culture drama over social media, and again free speech =/= freedom from consequences in other jurisdictions.
Was Silicon Valley a deliberate government led initiative (beyond partnership and funding)? I'm sceptical of these "Silicon X" top-down projects which don't seem to have a great history (cf eg Silicon Roundabout);

I would have thought that while government input and infrastructure help is useful, attempts at driving something at a high level in imitation of something else misses the point of low-level evolutionary growth, invention and originality.
Why risk this even? Surely, he's making much more than 700K as an exec in the first place.
That's a bit of an exaggeration. Those that try to collect as much data as possible data from visitors will of course find it difficult to be compliant, but many do not do this and are therefore in compliance with GDPR.

I do find the propaganda against GDPR annoying though. As an EU citizen (and someone who had to make sure we were compliant on multiple projects) I am happy about it. Is it perfect? No. But it's still waaaay better than nothing.
>I absolutely see it as a ~$140/mo tax on participating in the economy

* for most people they'd be paying for the internet/cell phone regardless of whether it's required for their job or not. I doubt the pandemic pushed up internet adoption rate by much.

* $140/month seems to be on the high side. are you really paying that much for the bare essentials? Or are you paying for gigabit home internet and a 25GB/month cell plan?
It wasn't intentional, the headline was too long to fit.
This is a timely paper. A question for those who are crypto/math experts - I wrote a libsodium-based keygen for ed25519 pairs trying to generate a vanity public key.

Is there a chance that a given byte series will never show up in an ed25519 pub-key due to how this curve intrinsically works? My keygen is looking at the first 5 bytes, which is supposedly a (1 : 256^5) chance per key = (1 : 1,099,511,627,776).

Is my math right and 1:trillion really just could take weeks/months (current rate ~25-30B keys/day) or have I been running this keygen with no hope?
> I wouldn’t say that Rust is easier

Rust is easier than C/C++, but not at first. After you learn the semantics of it, is very smooth sailing (at least until you get into the most exotic needs like build your own async runtime).
>For example as mumble uses a udp protocol it handles dropped frames badly, like on a spotty wireless connection.

WebRTC also uses UDP—as well as virtually every other real-time conferencing platform since the internet existed. TCP is too constraining to use for voice because every single packet retransmission only increases delay further. Dropping packets when they don’t arrive on time is necessary in order to minimize delay, which is one of the principal goals of Mumble.

The real solution to dropped packets is not TCP—it’s a quality jitter buffer, and if you don’t like mumble’s performance in that respect then you need to look at the JB. A good JB will buffer and reorder packets within some statistical measure of network jitter, but the behavior is very explicitly not to retransmit.

https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/rtp/faq.html#reliable

Google cheated with their implementation of WebRTC by purchasing Global IP Solutions, which gave them the most advanced jitter buffer in the world at the time: NetEQ.

apparently OBS devs don't want to share direct evidence yet and resolve it privately probably due to their GPL Cooperation Commitment. while I'm sure we all appreciate that, it would be nice to see the decompiled binaries and the exact violations, just so we can explicitly point them out and argue.

I find it VERY easy to believe that Tiktok are indeed in violation, but right now all we have are statements and a 302 redirect to Microsoft Directx download page.
Sorry to hear that Andrew. If you'd like to point me to issues or PRs where you've contributed and don't feel like you had a good response, I'd be happy to follow up on them.
>3G came AFTER that,

Oh my.

3G predate iPhone by a lot. There were 3G Smartphones ( Symbian ) or 3G Mobile phones years before iPhone. The first 3G network if I remember correctly "launched" before year 2000 in Japan. ( That is why some analyst suggest that iPhone was bringing the Japanese Internet to the world with touch screen. )

The 3G Spec ( Now known as 3GPP ) predate 2000. 4G was the first system moving from circuit switch to packet-based switching. As that was a lot on their plate already. Remember 4G was designed in an era where 3G was considered a flop. Billions were paid to buy spectrum and equipment but MNO for years were losing money. iPhone was the saviour to MNO as Apple managed to push ARPU instead of their death spiral.

There were talks of a completely new network stack for 5G and later 6G. I think that is still an ongoing research. But without Smartphone I am willing to bet ipv6 would have been no where nearly one tenth of today's usage.
> and serve a three term of supervision upon release from prison.

Is there a typo in there, is that just a weird legal term, or is it just me that has a hard time processing what that means?
? I absolutely agree with you. Inequality nowadays is quite bad, overall welfare could be much better if we weren't hamstrung by it.

But I don't see how this means I'm ideologically committed to the absurd thesis that we haven't seen quality of life improvements for the average person in the last half century - going from a time where we had only recently eliminated actual starvation in the US, schools were still basically segregated, inflation rampant, a draft, etc. etc.
