Protect from whom?

The first three questions we have to ask whenever someone mentions
computer security is

- security for who?

- security from who?

- security to what end?

My first encounter with Cloudflare was as a Tor user, maybe 4 or 5
years ago now, There seemed to be this one company blocking dozens of
websites. Over the years this has grown to thousands. Cloudflare is no
friend of mine, and has always seemed to be an anti-privacy firm.

Then I realised something more sinister. Regardless of my Tor issues,
which you could argue are a niche concern, I read an article pointing
out that with so many people's traffic going through Cloudflare they
are in a unique position to correlate and monitor traffic on a scale
grander than any ISP.

Finally, I read about TLS fronting, and people being talked into
basically allowing Cloudflare to MITM attack their customers.

Maybe some of these issues have been sorted out. But as I see it,
Cloudflare seems more of a pronlem than a solution. What am I missing?
I don't understand this sentiment. Rust is the only language ecosystem where I find that anything works at all. Whenever I have to build something not built in rust, I'm praying. With rust made tooling, I just never have problems.
> in service of large distributed teams and long term maintainability.

Except those didn't really manifest. The opposite was actually true, golang is worse for large teams and maintainability compared to languages like Java and C#.

> Go authors avoided complicating the language, runtime, and compiler

Which ended up complicating end users' code. There is no way around it, complexity has to exist in one space or the other. They just made writing the compiler easier, which made writing and reading golang code much harder, and ended up with a weak language.
The problem with machine translation is not the obvious general mediocrity, but the occasional undetected catastrophic failure, especially in medical context. I don't think DeepL (or any other fully automated system) is any more reliable in this sense.
I don't have the sources or exact numbers on hand, but I remember reading that the world's extractive & production processes create something like ~4 billion tons of oil, ~4 billion tons of iron, ~x billion tons of cement, and ~50 billion tons of sand, per year. These industries developed over many years and as you note are distributed globally. With market demand and regulatory pressure, we believe achieving CO2 removal across different modalities at the giga-ton scale is possible in our lifetimes.

That being said, we try to bring a conservative approach to our scaleup plan. The most immediate challenge is demonstrating CO2 removal at the megaton scale (1 million tons per year) to validate the process and meet short-term demand for voluntary offsets.
I’m curious for more details on what your templating system was and how it worked. If you’re up for sharing, I’d love to hear about it.

I know the aforementioned EMR puts a lot of emphasis on their After Visit Summaries, which sounds somewhat similar to what you describe.
Super interesting, thanks. Kind of surprised more people aren't talking about this.
Here are some of the baskets the guy mentioned in the article makes:

https://www.abbemuseum.org/attending-artists-profiles/gabrie...

Pretty cool looking. I've been trying to turn the shoots I get every winter from my apple tree into baskets since they look so nice and straight, shame to just toss. It's been a real struggle, just not an appropriate material for weaving.

I have a lot of sympathy for someone losing the basic material needed for their craft although fighting tree pests often seems like a losing battle.
My understanding as an outsider to chipmaking is that Intel's model involved repurposing old fabs so they could make new ones out of the old. TSMC's model is to keep using the same fab for years and years.

Because the chip shortage is largely for older, cheaper silicon, Intel's model doesn't allow for building the chips that are actually needed right now.
They rate-limited me once after scolding me for comments that were too short, frequent, and unsubstantial, so it might not just happen for rule-breaking.
This is very much like the DICE idl for the l4 kernel [1] .

It's a good point, but a little old in the tooth and not really fair apples-apples comparison Foundry to IDM. Intel's transistor density at "10nm" is closer to industry "7nm". Really, I think it was the desire to continue multi-patterning rather than go with ASML's expensive EUV equipment for a last generation. Bad bet!
wtf Mozilla, why are you making me stop using you?

I think financialization is something you do in the later stages of a company's lifecycle. It is how you extract the most value out of the company as money, rather than potential.

I think companies have pretty clear life cycles. First they start, they grow, then the plateau, and then fall. Sometimes you may get a few bumps in the road, but generally this is the long-term cycle.

Financialization makes the most sense to engage when when you are plateaued and possibly falling. You can still extract value.

I think that the fall of Sears was a great example of the financialization and extraction of value of a dying company.

Financialization is trading off future potential growth or even long-term staying power for $$$.
I don't know what story you're talking about but pretty sure the 'leaked tank manuals' stories all linked to stories with the files.
General purpose languages like being turning complete, not as a main goal per se, but it's hard to be expressive and not be TC. TC means you can't statically determine execution behavior (halting problem). There's not a lot of things in this category. Some that come to mind are Cue and Dhall.

Hashicorp HCL2 might also be, but I don't know if they are turning-complete off the top of my head.
Some blog suggests it actually is TC, but I cannot corroborate.

Starlark/bazel is TC.

You can add Berkeley Packet Filters and BLooP to the list of TI languages: https://www.quora.com/What-is-an-example-of-a-Turing-incompl...

Not on the 'email' list, but I'll add "A .org domain extension should be the sole criteria for whether a customer can be classified as a nonprofit".

I tried to create a nonprofit account at Box.com a few years ago with a .net address. It took almost 3 weeks of back-and-forth with customer support and multiple interactions with higher-ups in their legal dept. to resolve. No one there had ever considered the possibility.

I have used mostly Synology in the past, so I have no hands-on experience with QNAP, but I am also pretty sure they are very similar types of Linux based with tons of features boxes.

QNAS does have a guide:

https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/faq/article/what-is-the-best-...

However, I want to stress the following points:

0. Do not use a NAS as your only backup, and definitely back up data only on the NAS to another location (cloud?).
1. Do you need to access the NAS from elsewhere? Do you REALLY need it? If yes, consider setting up a VPN, but no matter what you do, do not expose the NAS directly to the Internet through your firewall or a cloud service.
2. Enable automatic updates - there are enough vulnerabilities in these boxes that it is worth patching first and asking questions later.
3. Depending on the data you store, consider encryption. For example, if you only use a NAS to do Time Machine backups, encrypt your backups. Most NAS boxes also support encrypting entire drives, which is very practical if someone steals the box away from you physically, but will not add protection to attacks once it is powered on.
im all for standardizing overlapping functionality, but not standardizing just for the sake of it.

node 17 is bringing the fetch api to core which to me makes perfect sense. theres definitely no point in node creating their own version of fetch. and fetch is useful on both the browser and server, given that fetch is an easy way to facilitate a client-server connection over http/s. perhaps the same applies to window.crypto.

i think you start to lose the benefit of standardization when:
1. half the api gets repurposed to try to fit a (in some cases, completely subjective) counterpart
2. functionality isn't 1:1
The cynicism on this forum is overwhelming.
hahaha! I laughed way too hard at this :)
The fab in Corvallis, OR, where a lot of the custom hp circuits were made later turned into a wafer fab for inkjet printheads. Still going on to this day although much smaller than before.

Demand for semiconductors only recently exploded. In 2016, annual growth suddenly tripled for a few years. It's hard to know if this rate of growth is sustainable, or if it will fall back to "normal" again soon.

Mask wearing happens where there are mandates. “If you don’t have a mask, you can’t come in and buy groceries.”

I don’t think anything was going to make optional masking commonplace over a long period of time, so I wouldn’t blame excessive warning labels on it.
Unlike you, I’ve answered your question many times. You are only looking at the benefit for a narrow use case without accounting for its holistic costs. We have a difference of opinion about those costs, and there is no hard science that can prove either of us right. I have acknowledged your point of view, and the possibility that it could be right. You have not reciprocated in any way, or even acknowledge that you understand the point I’m making.
Boeing won't have failed until someone starts a competing company that stands a chance of replacing it. (Airbus is the same thing, very corporate, very closely tied to governments, but in Europe).
Then you don't need to extract water from the air. Just make it potable.
It should be much more cost-effective to float wind turbines to pump surface water to benthic depths. Then, the whole ocean is your CO2 collection surface. You might also pump water from (lesser) depths to the surface to distribute over coral reefs to relieve both heat and pH. (Picture a line of these some miles seaward, all up and down the Great Barrier Reef.)

The wind turbine nacelle could be substantially cheaper than in the typical electrical generating turbine, instead coupling mechanically or hydraulically to the water pump.

Some people worry that this would saturate the deep ocean with CO2. A bit of calculation shows this is an idle concern: the shallow ocean is already being saturated with CO2, with immediately dire consequences, and there is overwhelmingly more deep ocean water than surface water. So long as atmospheric CO2 falls off over the coming century, there would no long-term problem.

Geoengineering that tackles the root problem, CO2, is fundamentally different from schemes that only (e.g.) try to block insolation. Other engineering is going on to tackle upstream CO2 emission, but we have a huge stock of CO2 already built up in the atmosphere that will need to be drawn down.

That's worse for your neck than keep it more center aligned.
> My opinion: When your deliverable is made up of source code(like these open source projects are), the ABI and ABI stability is not that important, it is the API(the source interface) that is critical.

It is absolutely important. ABI instability is the number one reason why packaging software on Linux is difficult. Breaking ABI causes pain even for maintainers of free software projects and packages. The Linux kernel is the only project in a Linux distribution that seems to take it seriously.
Part of the cause is that the people doing this still benefited - if you can cut a bunch of costs and bump profits for the next few years it doesn't matter to you as an executive whether those changes ultimately lead to significantly worse outcomes for the company in the longer term.

Brand loyalty takes a while to fade, there seems to be a cycle with a large number of successful companies that goes

work honestly to build a good product

-> generate brand loyalty

-> people with integrity get replaced by people who would have had no chance of building that successful product/company in the first place

-> cut as many corners as possible while riding the brand loyalty to more short term profits

-> eventually, on the scale of decades sometimes (because people take a /long/ time to realize that 'well known brand' !== quality), get out-competed by a small company building the same thing as you with integrity

-> return to step one with new company.
Android sort of gets a pass in that it's something that's constantly used by the user, so there's some ability to train people into arbitrary and unclear UXes, especially if they're only a few buttons (a good example is game controllers where what buttons do is completely disconnected from the letter or symbol they're assigned).

iOS is pretty similar in that a good number of the navigation gestures aren't super intuitive and not really discoverable until you build some muscle memory.

Season 1 was OK, nothing great just ok. Season 2 I struggled through it. Season 3 I watched the first episode and decided there is better entertainment to spend my time on.

This comes from someone who watched and loved every previous startrek TV.
I wonder if this was the defining event marking the beginning of the internet sucking.
They seem to be trying to gather a lot of telemetry to measure how they can boost popularity of Firefox. I wonder did they tried to measure how the measurement itself influences popularity? Social measurements are like quantum ones, they change reality.

There was a funny story of a Hawthorn Experiment[1], which tried to find ways to boost productivity but at the end managed to state just that the very attempt to conduct an experiment boosts productivity. It seems to me that with Mozilla the effect has a opposite sign and any attempt to measure decreases the target variables of decision making. And therefore they need to find ways to measure "non-invasively", not to measure every little thing they can measure.

My understanding is that both Boeing and Intel have received significant subsidies and bailouts from the federal government when it became apparent the companies had issues. So I'd argue that this an indication of a management success, not a failure. They've been able to externalize some of their costs to the federal government, thus increasing their profits.
> My question was more, how does this help individuals without access to clean water

If the principle of it is sound, which I cannot verify, then by a manufacturer picking up the idea. Developing it into a product and selling it to individuals.

They are basically saying (paraphrasing) "Hey we suck at manufacturing things at scale, so we won't continue with this idea. But we don't want to let our learnings go to waste. Go ahead and learn from our experiments and mistakes. Maybe one of you out there can make it work as a product."
Doesn't this feel like a self-fulfilling prophecy? It's like saying "if things are going bad, then just try and extract value."

But if extracting value makes things go bad, then it pretty much leads to a death spiral.

I feel like a more helpful framework is: if you're giving up on competing, then financialize, while recognizing that a) it's probably gonna kill your company, and b) value extraction from users [especially those who have little choice in using your products!] is no fun for anyone!
It was available a few years ago, and I found it very useful.
You could see this happen in real-time as Intel sold essentially the same processor between 2015 and 2020 stuck on 14nm while increasing prices and lowering quality -- replacing solder with thermal paste, sticking with 4 cores as long as possible to maximize $.

You can see the rather large change under Gelsinger: https://ycharts.com/companies/INTC/stock_buyback
Yes, this is the company in Arizona. They can do about 4-5 liters a day without an external power source.
Just received an email with this:

Thank you, guys.
Considering they said allowing others to build on this progress I would imagine that they have not achieved their stated goal yet:

>The team aimed to build a highly lightweight, portable, cheap (<5% of user’s income) device that an individual could use to produce 5L of drinking water per day.

Okay, first the stupid fucking ‘Turning Red’ advertisement that dared to call itself ‘adorable’, and now this?

Seriously, does FireFox hate itself, or just hates it’s dwindling but loyal user base?

We used to use Firefox because they didn’t do shit like this.

I actually deleted Firefox after about 15 years of loyal use after the ‘Turning Red’ incident. Glad to hear I made the right call.

I’ve been using Safari and have no regrets.

Goodbye, Firefox. Good riddance, if this is how you’ll behave.

It’s sad to watch the dream of a mainstream open-source browser that wasn’t evil vanish.

We will need something else, but I don’t see huge potential adoption for anything.

It was hard enough to get people to swap browsers in the 00’s, it’s gonna be way harder with each platform pushing its own pre-installed browser.
I have always been confused by these issues of corporate governance. All these things seem like they should be owned by real human beings, but it is impossible for me to understand who actually owns and controls these companies. They are simultaneously treated as their own entities that make their own decisions while also being completely controlled by a few big shareholders. And often these shareholders are themselves companies, perhaps owned by other companies. And then you get weird stuff like Porsche's attempt to purchase VW, which wound up with VW purchasing its own largest shareholder. It's all incomprehensibly far removed from what the goods and services that are the real purpose of our economy.

Also, the CPU in the picture is upside down. Maybe this is a shallow criticism (especially since the picture was probably chosen by an editor), but I am reluctant to listen to people who would make such a basic mistake.

I forgot to answer a question you asked, sorry.

I am not saying that he is giving different "moral weights" to anything. I am saying he is invoking an extreme moral context: religious persecution, totalitarian wartime governments. Then he starts talking about how some things (he won't give any example but adverts to some social justice code words as bad) are moral threats like this, insofar as they make us hide our beliefs.

They are not. He is making a bunch of category mistakes. There are in fact numerous specific threats to free speech and human freedom in 2004 and 2022: there are people with specific beliefs, specific identities actually being targeted today. It seems to me that people who want to discuss censorship in the abstract aren't interested in the actual moral challenge this poses.

Taking it at it's word, PG's article should prompt you to explore a thought space you think should be self-censored in many environments. Can YOU give me an example that might convince me? This is a safe space ;)

It says clean, but isn't it only as clean as the surrounding air? For example if you used this next to a manufacturing plant spewing chemicals into the air, won't these contaminants be captured by the condensation and make it into the water?
My question too. I assume Demo downloads one component and then all its nested dependencies. But now every nested dependency can come from a different server, just like the components you refer to can come from anywhere on the internet.

I wonder if this could be a security issue. It's hard to know who has control over all those nested repositories, and who keeps a look on them to ensure they are not maliciously modified? Is anybody checking on cryptographic signatures of them?

Only asking because I don't know much about Demo.
Now this is the most impressive thing i've seen today! Especially because its made out of discrete components. Kudos.
Thank you for sharing this awesome project!

I'm probably stuck using Adobe for now, just because for anything really important you can't rely on anything aside from the official Adobe PDF editor to not screw things up. Up. But I absolutely love your project, I can imagine this would work great for academics.

You can automate much of your research between machine learning and directly reading PDFs. Many older publications don't have searchable text at all, and searchable text is a lifesaver when you're doing research.

Doubt your company is large enough to partner with them.

The issue with discharge templating is that EVERY single client under that company gets customized support from them until you are able to guarantee providing that level of custom support you don't have a shot in partnering with them.
