There are scripts that run constantly to detect any malicious relays or exits (if they are MITMing or http downgrading attacks) and if detected they are quickly removed from the network.

There are also dozens of volunteers who are monitoring for this activity as well and will report it.

You could in theory hack an exit relay and do some dirty work from it and blame it on being a "Tor exit" without much consequences.

I ran a Tor exit for 5 years before shutting it down over legal complaints.

If you spun up an exit and let it run for a month or two and then did illegal stuff from it could be easy to hide and blame it on Tor.
No. Different targets.
Apple-1 Prototype PCB Goes Up for Auction
It's definitely not "every bit the Google tracking device", simply because iPhones do not use Google services for assisted GPS. Unless you fully de-Google an Android phone, it'll keep reporting the nearby networks, cell towers and other wireless beacons to Google in the background. On iOS, this doesn't happen by default, because this data is sent to Apple instead.

I have just one Google app installed: Maps. Its location settings are set to only allow location access when the app is open, so it collects very little data useful to Google. I can probably switch to Apple Maps, but I don't know whether the quality of navigation and public transport data is as good as Google Maps. If it turns out to be similar, I'm likely to switch, because I'm only staying with GMaps thanks to the data quality.
They're this era's Nortel (Canada has a primo bubble stock with each big run; during the housing bubble era it was Blackberry).

There's very little that is special about their business. They have no great competitive moat. It hasn't even demonstrated good margins ala an eBay. The hype started with Amazon's stock liftoff, which was overwhelmingly due to AWS not retail. Investors went looking for the next Amazon in ecommerce and foolishly bought into the premise that Shopify would be that. Now all the bubbly ecommerce valuations are collapsing, as they should. Stocks like Etsy and Fiverr still need cut in half again at a minimum.

Shopify is worth three to four times sales at most. Compress that further as their growth slows. The stock will stagnate for at least a decade vs the highs it hit during this bubble.
Well, that is obvious. But after the downturn, it remains to be seen if there will be yet another boom period that resembles the past decade for tech, or the dot-com bubble before it. Software is here to stay, and it will take more transformations to bring down the demand for software engineers.
>Software is supposed to scale almost for free,

Sure, that may be true, but startups don't suffer for lacking of scaling ability.

Software does not scale with changing requirements for free. Full stop.
Sales compensation is one of the most interesting, difficult and high leverage things a company can get right.

The way I've traditionally thought of "under-selling" is:

- You have multiple teams that could maybe use your product, and you can maybe get their common manager to sign off on many seats
- But you start with the team most likely to be successful, sell just those seats. Once they are firing on all cylinders they'll be very helpful training the other teams
- Negotiate the discounting curve for the extra seats ahead of time and agree on expectations for timelines
- Co-term the new seats, make it very easy to expand
- But of course customer cash is king, and if they want to do procurement exactly once and are ok with seats sitting idle for a while, that's what you'll do

One of the great strengths of the SaaS billing model is how you can map the buying process to the the actual use of the tool.
Problem is if venture capital is valuing companies as a multiple of revenue then management has an incentive to juice revenue right now because every dollar of revenue will increase the value of their stock by that multiple which is (1) often quite high (10-40) and (2) likely a more profitable strategy for management than the incremental cost of annoyed customers.

Not to say this sales structure isn’t good. It sounds good. I’m just not sure it changes one of the biggest incentives to aggressively sell with a shorter term time horizon than some subset of shareholders might have.

> If I sold you my car, and I wanted my stereo but forgot it, the first sale doctrine covers the whole thing as delivered. If I was to go to the car, while in your ownership and possession, and attempt to remove the stereo, you'd call the cops for vehicular theft.

You could just have included the stereo explicitly in the contract. This happens all the time in large purchases like real estate. You would of course need to enforce the contract in a different way than breaking into their car, but it would be enforceable as long as the contract as worded doesn’t run afoul of state and local laws. Not doing that, and forgetting to remove it, well… it seems like consumers are giving up a very large concept of ownership for marginal seller use cases, charitably. Uncharitably it seeks to be a lower grab and cut contract law out of the equation.

Edit: slight rephrasing because I misread your argument, I think we are in agreement
It's sort of the equivalent of when Noam Chomsky says, "sure, JFK and 9/11 may have been carried out by organized conspirators within the U.S. government, but it doesn't matter and there's no point interrogating it because it makes no difference from a policy perspective." In the cases where it's not outright disinfo it's a psychological defense mechanism, a way of ceding the bare minimum of ground to the conspiracy theorists which is demanded by the mountains of evidence, while still hiving it off from the rest of one's worldview.
Windows has a long and unfortunate history of encouraging programs to extend system behavior by injecting libraries into other programs’ address spaces. You can look up Winsock LSPs and Win32 hooks [0] for examples. This means that programs cannot rely on the public APIs actually interacting with the kernel in the way one would natively imagine — the implementation may be partially replaced with a call into user code from another vendor in the same progress. Eww!

So, as I recall, a normal socket is a kernel object, but a third party LSP-provided socket might not be. This also means that any API, e.g. select, that may interact with more than one socket at once has problems. [1]

I lived in shitty apartments that cost a king's ransom before I escaped to the suburbs. Magnasanti reminds me of those.

An extortionate real estate situation can absorb all of the benefits brought by density, and more besides. It's great for the slumlords -- or, more accurately, the real estate investment trusts representing the interests of the Magnasanti quadrillionaires -- but it sure sucks to be a drone stuck in their factorio game. Why should I want that?
If you think G is bad, give Facebook a try. I had a new Fb page permanently blocked from ever running ads. You only get 1 appeal before the permanent block, and they won't tell you what you need to fix. I had a customer service rep confirm, after some direct questioning, that they will not tell you.

The upshot is that I went with organic marketing which has proven far more effective with a much higher ROI. As many have pointed out, bid-based ads have long since been rents and almost always unprofitable.
Pluton is also a geological term, referring to magma domes that have solidified and since eroded to yield granite structures like Half Dome.
Well, you're taking a singular vertical slice. How many plastic widgets and doodads in your house were made by an effective slave in China? What about clothes - from sweatshops in vietnam, bangladesh, etc.? We periodically see sensational stories where workers slip tragic notes into goods, but that's about it. On top of that, what about the animals we've hurt systematically? In the industrial revolution, we rendered millions of penguins into oil (400ml each). Now, industrial farms raise animals in horrific conditions and we are responsible for who knows what else for convenience and abundance?

Realistically the advanced world has been running on outsourced atrocity for decades, and we're all a bit complicit.

All that said, I would welcome additional supply chain scrutiny. I don't see a point in a consumer saving not very much money to enable child labor.

I have no knowledge of the situation and don't work for Shopify, but having worked corporate gigs my whole life, what probably happened is very few people knew this was coming, and that group excluded the part of HR that hires people. So the posting remain up while the news comes out, but the roles don't get filled and the postings eventually removed.
Economic Cost Benefit Analysis has come unhinged from its Utilitarian jus (cont)
The one thing you do learn when in a job that gives you "wrong experience" is that you're in the "wrong job" for what the "right job" would be in the future.

I think you have to be in a "wrong job" before you can understand what a "right job" is.

I do not agree with the premise though as it's assuming that people cannot discern the difference. It's akin to talking about knowledge vs. wisdom and the typical explanation of fruits and vegetables. It makes little sense in this context as people are much smarter than given credit.

I used calories because it’s comparatively easy to find lists of staple crops ranked by calories per hectare, and it gets discussed among homesteaders, smallholders and permaculture people at regular intervals.

Conversion efficiency is going to give you proportional results. If you’re trying to determine how many miles your car or jet can go it’s not accurate enough. But if you’re comparing crops to each other it should be fine.
Nope, I'm helping Americans get universal healthcare in other ways.

But I'm acknowledging that for me personally, working for, selling my talent to and/or profiting from the "healthcare" industry as it exists today without a universal option to provide healthcare to every American, full stop, is a breach of my own ethics.

This situation certainly feels like it should be in a Dilbert comic.
I did the same with Facebook, which I still use because my extended family uses it. It took some trickery to remove FB from a Samsung phone but it can be done. The web version of FB works fine and it is less able to dig out personal info from my phone. (Which is why FB and everybody else prefers that you use their app, but to hell with that.)

Andrew Wakefield's original disputed paper was about the brain-gut-microbiome axis.

Regardless of what you think of Wakefield, and the disservice he (and/or Brian Deer) did with respect to autism and vaccines, an even bigger tragedy to me is that nobody dared to investigate the BGM axis for decades now, for fear of association.

It's good to see it back on the list of acceptable research agendas. Perhaps finally the healing can begin.

There's no reason to think a large, opaque computing base that's been forced into the market by a monopoly power is trustworthy. I'd argue that "boot sector tampering with physical access" is pretty low on the list of computer-related real-world attacks against society; it's certainly lower than zero-days caused by implementation errors in baroque computer software / hardware.

Also, suggesting you can avoid having a computer (or phone) at this point is ludicrous. It's like suggesting you can avoid using credit cards and cash. Some would argue it is actually easier to give up living under a roof than to give up owning a cell phone (and make exactly that tradeoff).
Would love to see your Rust parser
Don't be disingenuous. I'm not talking specifically about the UK. I made that clear in the original post, but just to avoid further tangentials like this I made an edit so it is triple clear now.

It is so tiring when people nitpick one specific word to "refute" you so that the rest of what you said is automatically invalidated.
I think the difference here is that an EV battery fire quickly spreads to the entire length of the bus, because the battery spans the entire length of the bus internally. Whereas the diesel fire is contained to the fuel tank and engine block, which could allow passengers to more easily escape to whatever end of the bus isn't on fire.

New battery chemistries like LFP should solve the thermal runaway issue.
#vegan and #beef is an interesting example which I didn't get.

Either a dish is vegan, or it has beef. So a dish tagged #vegan and #beef is either wrong about the #vegan tag, or has... vegan beef, which ontology aside, exists in the sense that there are foods with this name.

Hierarchies can't fix misclassification, a beef-containing dish doesn't belong in the #Vegan: namespace either.

As for organizing tags, something I'd like to see (pending a reasonable UX) is just being able to tag tags. #physics could be tagged #science, and #science could be tagged #physics, cycles aren't a problem for set union.
Normal people is afraid of think and openly discuss things that are too bad to be considered feasible. Hence a compulsion to silence the messenger downvoting your comment in this case.

What really helped me understand and troubleshoot network communications at the socket level was the book by W. Richard Stevens[0]. I think this is because he starts with an introduction to TCP, and builds from there. Knowing TCP states and transitions is important to reading packet dumps, and in general debugging networking.

Also, no matter what platform you're using, there is probably a socket implementation somewhere at the core. You're best off understanding how sockets work, then understanding how the platform you're working with uses sockets[1].

Once I read the W. Richard Stevens book, I was able to read and understand RFCs for protocols like HTTP to know how things should work. Then you're better prepared to figure out if a behavior is due to your code, or an implementation of the protocol in your device, or the device on the other end of the network connection, or some intermediary device.

Regarding OCS, supply is broken down mainly into ammo and fuel. No ammo = no combat. No fuel = no movement. OCS makes you commit to operations you plan to perform in the future as you have to build up supply in an area (and then have a logistics network to "throw" the supply to units) to launch operations. The opponent is also doing this at the same time.
>>>> Being on the flight log doesn't prove a crime.

>>> What if the crime was violating house arrest? What if you say, while under oath, you weren't at some of the manifests destinations, and the crime was perjury?

>> OK then: being on the flight log doesn't prove the type of crimes alleged here. It can prove other types of crimes that aren't relevant to this discussion.

> Perhaps the types of crimes the that deal with underaged trafficked girls on planes and/or islands?

It's a crime to traffic an underaged girl, it's also a crime to have sex with one, it might even be a crime to knowingly fail to aid one, but it isn't a crime to be on the same plane as one or on a plane that previously transported one.

The manifest only proves the thing that isn't a crime.

It's also weird that you responded to me with crimes like statutory rape, when I already addressed that the manifest wasn't evidence of that, and the comment of yours I was responding to was talking about crimes (e.g. skipping house arrest) that aren't relevant.

Also, in the US at least, crimes have to be "proven beyond a reasonable doubt," and "he was on the plane of guy who was guilty" doesn't even come close to meeting that standard.
HTTP2 solves these problems. HTTP3 (QUIC) solves the head of line blocking problem of TCP. That is, a packet getting corrupted or lost causes TCP to hold up other packets from going out until that packet can be successfully delivered. So you may be multiplexed in your messages, but you end up with a slowdown and backlog of data that could have been successfully received and interpreted but for the lost packet.
I *REALLY* want to love this, but it just honestly all-around doesn't work very well or reliably. The developer is almost impossible to communicate with. They don't have CI setup very well at all. It's also nearly impossible to selfhost. I'll be forced to keep using Anydesk until there's something that can at least match it in stability and features. There is potential for this to be good, but not without a LOT more change. Source for my experience is that I co-maintain this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rustdesk

Indeed. Compare this to Klarna's CEO https://www.klarna.com/uk/blog/company-announcement-from-ceo... who never mentioned the actual firing. 10% is "getting impacted".

How can a potential buyer verify that a used Tesla they are considering purchasing is not subject to some sort of pullback like this?

I feel like there's an information asymmetry between the used car buyer (who has likely never owned a Tesla before, and certainly doesn't know the history of the vehicle he's considering purchasing), the seller (who may specifically be aware that the car appears to have functionality that could be revoked at a later date), and Tesla (who have records of what has been paid for).

What are the right questions for a buyer to ask in order to ensure they're not left in this unfortunate position?

> To be clear, I think getting through peer review is evidence that a paper is good

I think this depends on how you define good. I'm sure there's some variation across fields, but peer review generally seeks to establish that what is presented in the paper is plausible, logically consistent, well-presented, meaningful, and novel. That list is non-exhaustive, but correct is very hard to establish in a peer review process. In my experience, it would be rare for a reviewer to repeat calculations in a paper unless something seems fairly obviously off.

As a computer scientist, it would be even more rare for a peer reviewer to examine the code written for a paper (if it is available) to check for bugs. Point being, there are a lot of reasons a paper that appears good may be completely incorrect. Although this is typically for reasons that I as a casual reader would be even less likely to distinguish than a reviewer who is particularly knowledgeable about that particular field.
QUIC is HTTP/3 more or less and solves the same problems, yes.

If you are indeed correct, surely they think that the average HN user is an idiot that needs to shielded from my 'stupid' post. Either that or I'm adding too much noise to the discussion in which case I suspect that technically it may be challenge to add a feature where an individual reader can have the ability to "mute" comments from people that he/she does not wish to see, but others may continue seeing it.
In a downturn, enterprise SaaS vendors have to cut back on development and hold on to the customers they have. They aren’t winning new big contracts, and losing a few big customers could be fatal.

And when you cut back on roadmap on a product like that, consolidation starts looking sensible. That’s when you get bought out by Oracle or ADP or someone.
