I think it is more out of habit than anything else. Office work has always been information based but it wasn't possible to get the information (aka paper) out of the office easily. For this reason, people had to be brought to the information.

I don't think we would have many office buildings if information work and telecommuting would have started at exactly the same time. No serious business person would invest in something that is plainly unnecessary.
On top of that BluRays can be quite a hassle with all the DRM they pack.
You can cellar your own wine. Lots of people do it, but cellar conditions matter and it's an expensive hobby. It's nice to not need to know five years in advance what you will feel like drinking tonight. Optionality is worth something.

But yes, with care a hobbyist can do better than how some retail wine is kept.

Edit: The main points are 1) cool (~55F/13C), 2) dark, 3) not too dry (70% humidity is usually recommended. This is to protect the cork), and 4) store on its side, also to protect the cork from drying out. Five years is a long time.

Most retail wines are made to drink now though. If it's on the shelf it's ready.

Fun things like the Holmdel Horn Antenna too:

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=holmdel+h...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmdel_Horn_Antenna

Used for some of the earliest attempts at transatlantic C-band communications via geostationary satellites.

In the history of geostationary telecom satellite stuff the teleports near Holmdel are fairly important.

One of the other nearby noteworthy facilities is the giant teleport on Staten Island. Now all of the antennas and facilities have been removed and it's a vacant lot.

I can remember when you got paid for being a test subject, not vice versa.
Between this essay and your counter, I'd say the essay has aged a lot beter. Intersectionality is still used primarily, in practice, to promote the interests of higher classes against lower ones. Brand was, as it turned out, dragged down by personal attacks rather than any real refutation of his politics, and identity politics still serves primarily as a stick for the powerful to beat the weak with. "Queer approaches to identities" as described in your link sound like an excellent thing, but one that bears no relation to the approaches to identities that the self-proclaimed spokespeople for the queer community actually employ. And for what it's worth, historical witch hunts actually victimised men more than women.
Most critiques of this article are basically nit-picking. The laws mentioned, well, they're still quite solid. The central metaphor remains. In Vampire: the Masquerade, a vampire can increase their potency through an act of diablerie: draining another, old, stronger vampire of their blood at some moment of weakness. Twitter, as an example, is where people go to gamble their reputation, and get a shot at taking someone else's. A well-timed "call-out" increases the reputation of the caller and decreases that of the one called out. In short, the Vampire Castle is about a zero-sum (perhaps even worse than zero-sum) game of reputation, where people rise by draining those who ought to be their peers. The Vampire Castle has only temporary allies and no friends at all. One keeps the neck rigid and protected via orthodoxy and any lapse is an invite to a bite. No rest, only continual hyper-vigilance, waiting to pounce or be pounced upon.

I've watched this (plus your basic purity spiral) more or less destroy a couple of forums. It's depressing and it solves exactly nothing.
> just because something is rare doesn't mean it's good

That is precisely what I am saying. Rare (and because of that, expensive) doesn’t make a wine good.

> no, if it's less expensive it's because there is work involved in cellaring a wine and that adds value

Yes, for wines that are hundreds of dollars, but that doesn’t necessarily add any quality. For wines that are thousands of dollars, they’re just scarce.
> I'd like to see tailscaled run with far fewer privileges.

Yeah - I have a dislike for services running as root when it's not necessary, and then getting users to escalate to root to interact with them routinely.

One thing I was thinking about was trying to identify the Linux capabilities which let tailscaled run, and then look at if it's feasible to adjust the default systemd unit to run it as a non root user. Closely followed by then trying to harden up the service with as many of the recommendations as possible in "systemd-analyze security".

Despite there being a pretty good range of restrictions available, it seems to be pretty rare that service definitions actually come locked down... Might be something for the tailscale team to look at in future?

Wow, it's really amazing these crappy remastered versions were ever released in these states.

It doesn't have to be this way, as long as you don't assume your audience to be complete idiots (as apparently The Wire's owners do). Go watch the new versions of Star Trek (the original series): it looks beautiful. Luckily, it was all shot with real film, so it looks fantastic in HD, but they didn't do something stupid like changing the aspect ratio, they just left it at the standard 4:3. They did redo all the FX shots since those just weren't going to work in HD, but they look good.

Star Trek: TNG on the other hand has a few problems, though nothing as bad as this other stuff. There's a few places where things that wouldn't have been visible now are, such as one of the early episodes (probably the pilot) where there's an extra piece of carpet under Data's chair. The old rounded screens wouldn't have shown this, so they just left it in on the original TV version, but in HD with rectangular screens it shows up. The other problem is that, with HD resolution, you can see the black cardboard they strategically stuck on the control panels on the bridge to prevent reflections from lights. It would have been nice if they had done a little more digital editing to fix these minor issues.
It's not investment when there is no industry behind it. It's called speculation. Or gambling - for some people.

No, I don't believe so. Such a feature would need to come from a fully decentralized platform, or one that doesn't operate (legally) in the US (or most of the world, for that matter).

It seems to me that good tests enable code to be well tested. Here, "good tests" would be verification of behaviour by using the various expected and unexpected input and output.

Depends on what your location and budget is. Storing wine outside or at room temperature doesn’t age it the same way a wine cellar in France would. In general you want ~53-57 Fahrenheit and 50-80% humidity depending on what exactly you want to happen.

Unfortunately, simply digging a hole in your back yard only gets it to the average temperature of your area which may be quite different to that hypothetical wine cellar in France.

In the end keeping even a fairly large room at whatever temperature and humidity level you desire isn’t that difficult, assuming you have the space and budget.
I use GadgetBridge with my Mi Band. It supports several other brands, is open source, and doesn't noticeably affect battery on the paired phone.

The only annoyance is that a recent update which added support for a device I don't use has caused GadgetBridge to prompt my for a permission that device support needs every time I open the app, and doesn't care that I have no reason to grant that permission. I should make a bug report…

My main battery issue is that the Mi Band's "up to 14 days" (or whatever) is nowhere near enough. I get about 7 days, and I'd prefer "at least 30 days", or...dare I say it?...a few years . (-:

There's a neat small-world feel to some of these places with all the people who scattered around after Lucent.

I guess from the article it's not just collisions, but the (significantly more likely) problem of guessing a UUID that's valid (out of all the issued tokens).

But yeah, even that is very very low risk. The article had to make some outrageously pessimistic assumptions to get it's "38 minutes!" number. Issuing a million tokens a second with two year validity, and getting attacked with the entire hash rate of the bitcoin mining community. And having both enough backend capacity to handle all those requests while at the same time having no observability or rate limiting to mitigate a brute force attack.

If it gets the project done, then it sounds like a great tool!

While you're doing the analog-to digital-conversion, I would suggest sticking with 24-bit 96Khz wav, and focus purely on maximizing the quality of the analog signal. i.e. dialing in levels and stuff. Each time you play a record it degrades a little bit, and it needs to be done at 1x speed, so you don't want to be futzing with compression settings.

Once you have the uncompressed wav files, you can experiment with different codecs and bitrates until you're happy. Figuring out the software to do that isn't difficult.

You could then also keep the uncompressed wav files around on the SD card in your drawer (or losslessly compress with something like flac). If a year later you realize you made poor compression choices, you can easily fix it. Maybe you eventually become an "expert" and decide you want to do some frequency filtering or something. If the SD card dies or gets lost, oh well! :-)

> Something I don't understand: how are UUIDs not safe given that they are probably better than 99.9999% of passwords generated by users?

UUIDs are 128 bits. Which is beat by a 5 character a-z random string.

It's certainly possible that they're better than the median password - especially if there isn't a check against a common password list. But it's pretty easy for user chosen passwords to be much, much better.

I strongly doubt that your 6 9s estimate is accurate.
Many of us lay-people strongly suspect that there was some sort of catastrophe around 12,000 BC. The disappearance of the Clovis people, the disappearance of the North American mega-fauna, the unequal sophistication of culture between the old and new world, point to something drastic that happened in North America. The clock was reset. Whatever happened, it affected Europe and Asia to a degree as well. The flood myths which many cultures seem to incorporate, points to something very profound. I look forward to future developments in this area.

Then you are arguing for allowing fraud and crime.
Accurate delay compensation is necessary to enable redundancy. IF you need multiple GrandMasters at different locations in the facility, using independent RFoF systems and antennas, they will have different GNSS delays, and that difference will propagate down into uncertainty on the hosts. There are other ways to eliminate this uncertainty than to characterize the full delay, but if the racks are on opposite ends of a giant data centre, that might be as or more difficult than just going through those motions.

If you just have one GM, then sure, the delay means you will have a larger fixed offset from TAI/UTC, but that won't be consequential, and you'll still get the benefits of a tightly synchronized monotonic clock. Until that GM fails, and it all goes haywire.
Frequently the wine seems hyper local - what I was there in a restaurant we often just ordered the house wine. If you talked to the waiters or owners it was frequently made locally and including by the owners grown in backyards of the hole in the wall places. I think it cuts out a lot of costs - and there was not a bad wine among them.

> That's near enough to true for anyone not operating at "web scale". FAANG/BAT engineers need to care.

I’d argue even then it’s really not much a concern. You’d need to generate 1 billion UUID v4’s per second for over 75 years to have a 50% chance of there being a single collision.
Not all wines are the same! Some can benefit from aging but not all.

The whole idea of "sealing" wine in a bottle is to keep it and not actually change it. It's a preservation method. However, the bottle is not really completely sealed and the small air gap at the top is not empty either. The cork might allow a tiny amount of air transfer too. The remains of the wine creation process might also leave some reactive components.

When you store wine it seems that a cellar type environment with its stale and earthy air helps - hmmm I wonder why!

Challenge your tastes or whatevs. For example you might find that a really cheap bottle of white chilled to about 5C and fizzed in a Soda Stream makes quite a decent Champagne analogue.

I doubt FAANG engineers need to care either. Ignoring that the author imagines 8k IoT devices per living human for one service, 2^64 requests per second is an absurd number to use. Assuming one server can do 10M RPS, you'd need 1.8 trillion servers to handle that load. You'd also need over 2 billion Tb/s of bandwidth to receive just the UUIDs with no overhead.

It doesn't matter what computing resources your attacker has; the limit is how much your infrastructure can handle, and the author casually overestimates that by about 10 orders of magnitude. So replace 35 minutes with 350 billion minutes, or about 660,000 years.
