This is a very nice sentiment but the truth is that the established forwarders operate in a way that is could be greatly optimized. Established forwarders (and Flexport) have teams of people that "move" shipments by applying an SOP (basically a written algorithm for advancing the shipment to signals that come in from a variety of sources (an origin factory various carriers like truckers, airlines and shipping lines, governments, etc). Paying people to do this work is expensive, and the people, while very good, go home at night, take vacations, make mistakes and are generally human. The technology that enables this process at legacy forwarders is as you say archaic, but it is archaic in _design_ as well as execution. It assumes that human beings will be sitting behind a keyboard pushing buttons and making phone calls based on what it says.

In my opinion, there is nothing about any of these processes that in aggregate be worse if they were automated, and no fundamental issue with automating them. Moving freight is about as complex as any other inter-business process in that the input is some signal (usually an email but potentially a phone call or a fax) and the output is also usually an email or a phone call. The internal logic to that process is not particularly complex either.

So there exists a massive opportunity to provide roughly the same service that existing forwarders do at a much lower cost basis. The requirement to do so is to aggressively automate operations. There's also an secondary opportunity to provide better quality of service (more transparency, more programmatic logic related to movement of goods) to customers (supply chain professionals at F500) but I think that's both harder to do and customers are less sure about how they might take advantage of that better service.

Quite frankly, I don't buy the argument that "grizzled logistics veterans" hold the secret sauce to make this work. I was told probably a dozen times that what I was doing was impossible to automate but when I dug into it, what we were trying to do was a bog-standard business process dressed up in domain-specific jargon and 'tradition' (e.g. we can't do it that way since we've always done it this way). I'm not saying that I'm some logistics savant and there's a vast amount of expertise I don't know. What I am claiming is that I've pulled back the curtain on logistics and the wizard is just a regular guy.

Believe me, I don't have an anti-military bias. I read the stuff compulsively. I hosted an author at Google who wrote about Clausewitz (and if I hadn't, no one else would have and he wouldn't have come).

I was thinking that the causes of the war, the unification of Germany as a result, the Paris Commune, and the lasting enmity in the French as a result of losing Alsace-Lorraine are all more "interesting."
Hi - I'm a cofounder of https://controlplane.com
I played with nullstone and it has some good elements but I didn't love it. It felt heavy, slow and the resulting infra isn't inexpensive.

We built Control Plane to give developers instant cloud-native maturity, allowing them to run their apps/services in a portable way, whether on AWS, Azure, GCP, Linode, Hetzner, Equinix, Oracle, on-premises or anywhere else. In fact you can run on 100 locations on 20 different providers with the same exact ease of use as running on localhost. no kidding!

On Control Plane you get instant multi-region, whether on one cloud, or multiple provider - with a TLS endpoints for your domain(s). You can configure subdomain based routing or path-based routing. You get consolidated (across regions) logs, metrics, tracing, alerting, audit trail, secrets management, service discovery across multiple locations, mutual TLS across services, service mesh, free image repository, all the observability you need and much more. It is the same exact effort to run in one region or a hundred. Geo-routing to the nearest region is baked in and so is automatic failover.

What's more, you can define IAM permissions in one place and move the workload across clouds while still consuming the UNION of ANY of the hundreds of services from AWS, GCP and Azure - without dealing with credentials and with least privilege/zero trust. In other words, you can be running on prem and still consume RDS, S3, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, Big Query, Spanner, CosmosDB or ANY of the hyper-scalers' services from a single workload - regardless of where it runs.

In terms of cost, we don't charge by developer. We charge by MILLICORE of CPU and MB of RAM and your workload can scale based on many scaling strategies you choose from.

A typical node.js, GoLang or Rust app will cost you less than $2.00 per month per region when you enable Capacity AI, a technology built to optimize the consumption in an automated way - if you choose 10 regions, it will cost you $20. You don't pay for load balancers, NAT gateways, Internet gateways, K8s, secrets, certs, logs, metrics, tracing, etc. We are told it is the most cost effective way to run microservices or any other containerized apps. While you can run completely serverless (not as in Lambda, but as in no need to deal with servers or cloud accounts) - you can also bring your own account (or bare metal hardware in your basemet) and Control Plane-fy your account or hardware. When you bring your own account you do pay for NAT gateways, load balancers, internet gateways and K8s worker nodes (you don't pay for brain nodes). The platform optimizes and auto-scales your cluster automatically so you pay the least amount, regardless of hosting infrastructure.

While it is very inexpensive, I am more than happy to give free credits - just email me at doron at controlplane.com
I was a federal contractor for NASA and let me tell you about government email: quota of 250MB of storage (2010-2012).

I spent every morning moving emails with attachments to local folders on my Mac (which had no backups) to keep from going over quota. If I went on a 2 week vacation emails would start to bounce to me.

After that fiasco I understood why Colin Powell told Hillary Clinton to just run her own email server (for non-classified communication).

There are a few fantastic tech videos in this archive. This one was a gem, IIRC...

https://www.nfb.ca/film/data_for_decision/

This short documentary is a portrait of the early era of computing and the process and implications of the digitization of large amounts of information. Examining the arduous work of assessing and documenting the geographical landscape, including sampling and analysis of soil, forestry, timber, wildlife, resources, industrial sites, and many other aspects, we see that human beings alone couldn't handle the vast amount of information that is collected. A new kind of computer (an “instant library”), the Canada Land Inventory Geo-information System, was developed to help manage and develop Canadian land. This film examines the workings of this new and mysterious machine.

If you're writing long jq modules, you probably do want a different (faster, better) language.
It’s on the honor system: if you’re worried about the problems encrypted DNS prevents, your ISP is the most likely threat.

With traditional DNS, your ISP can monitor everything you query passively. They also see every host name you connect to using TLS with SNI. Since that’s passive, you don’t know who they share that with except to the extent that you trust your government’s privacy law’s & enforcement.

They can also spoof DNS replies if they want to send you to a different server. This used to be common for Wi-Fi login systems when most of the web ran on HTTPS but TLS breaks it now. This is an active attack which is usually pretty blatant so you won’t see it commonly on residential ISPs.

DNS over TLS/HTTPS breaks all of the passive DNS monitoring & active spoofing. It does not help with TLS SNI monitoring but there’s an Encrypted Client Hello extension being tested now for that.

AOL pretended but Cloudflare is making actual progress to becoming the gatekeeper for the internet.
The problem is that the legacy applications running on that mainframe are tightly-coupled and thus a bitch to test. They're also hard to automate and hard to scale, because design choices made in the 80s and 90s based on people using them at the speed of manually typing on keyboards fall down when you hook up APIs to them for automated testing and for connections to modern applications.

And most of the people who know how to develop for them are about to retire. When was the last time you heard of a modern CS or IT degree program offering a COBOL elective?

And they're not easy to migrate, because you have 40+ years of business logic locked up in that legacy COBOL application, many of the developers of which are retired or flat-out dead. Did they document it perfectly? LOL! And oh, we're dealing with customs brokerage around the world and also potentially accounting info for a publicly-traded company, which means if you fuck up badly enough, people potentially go to jail.
Ah, but then I would have hated that thing, instead.
It turns out that these are all kind of the same, the Liar's Paradox, Russell's Paradox, the Halting Problem, etc. And indeed the they rely on a "diagonal map" i.e., a map x -> (x, x) in the construction.

If an owner of capital, i.e. a capitalist, makes money from a combination of his own efforts & automated systems (physical or software) he has invested in, by your definition he is no longer a capitalist. Ergo, your definition is either wrong, or at best incomplete.
If you're just pinging the endpoint without providing the necessary header then you are effectively a bot in this case. If you go through the motions to fill out the form and then submit it you're at least not explicitly telling the service you are going against its wishes by pinging the API directly.

As for the challenge, that seems to be within Cloudflare's implementation which then returns the token to submit with the form. HIBP then verifies the token to make sure its a match before checking for the data and sending a response.
There really aren't that many people studying insects. Even fewer studying and cataloging plants.

Everyone assumes there's some large academic cohort of etymologists that are busy indexing and recording all natural insect life, but it's usually just some guy paying attention to one thing at a time. And sometimes there are whole families of animals or plants where there's no guy at all.
This was probably 1999 and before, and in the US. It was maddening, especially when one's parents might pick up the phone and kill the connection.
So you are listing all TMs + inputs and creating a machine which does the opposite (from a halting perspective), which is like when Cantor lists the reals and creates a new one that has the opposite digit from the other reals
There are plenty in the sense that there are many games with morality scales that reward your participation, I think they are sometimes called red/blue morality in a derogatory sense? Superjerk vs jesus, force lightning vs whatever bargain bin replacement the light side gets.

In a lot of other games the reward for roleplaying is getting to roleplay. But thinking about it from another perspective, games where the mechanics reinforce and contextualize that, you might like Caves of Qud for the reputation system, Tyranny because the whole thing is just framing for the kind of role you'd play in this particularly fantastical setting, and Fallout New Vegas because its fun going into it with a character or concept in mind and just going nuts with it.

None of them come close to DE in what I understand you to be looking for, we could only be so lucky.

I'm basically saying neo-liberal capitalism, as in minimum-regulation capitalism, is unfair. You're right that it's about having capital already, not about being fit. Anyway, I think the law of the fittest is awful, so I'm not defending neo-liberal capitalism, quite the contrary.

Anywhere you have money and trade, you will have wealthy people, using their wealth to get unfair advantages over poor people, and get even wealthier. I don't care if it fits your definition of capitalism, even though I think it does. My point is that you can fight it, or embrace it, but it's going to emerge, and you won't eradicate it. So, instead of describing this naturally emerging thing as pure evil, let's try to make it fair, have regulations to protect consumers, taxes to redistribute wealth and prevent too much wealth accumulation. That's what I would like "socialism" to mean.

Being a billionaire is absolutely not my goal in life, not even a desire. Billionaires actually are lonely people, stuck in a very restricted social circle. They can't have normal friends. Ask minecraft's creator.

Please don't assume I'm a brainwashed wannabee-billionaire defending my "Capitalist" overlords. I would be better placed to assume you're the typical anti-system guy that thinks "Capitalism" is the root of all evil, and that sees everything in this light.

So more like recent trends of Apple and iOS specifically then? Where Apple first party apps are the go to option and the very thought of having to install a separate app is enough to keep people using the Apple solution. Sure there's an option to install other apps, but increasingly the trend is to use the stock apps for everything. Sure AOL didn't give you a choice, but maybe we'll see that one day with iOS too.

Unless we are talking about the money to file the paperwork to instantiate such an entity this just isn't true at least in the US.

Lets examine the parameters. In order to start a new business one has to be able to cover startup costs and live on your savings. Lets look at average savings as a starting point.

https://www.zippia.com/advice/american-savings-statistics/ About 33% have 10,000+ and 42% have less than 1000.

Even 10k is really very little in truth just a little runway until you can either acquire additional funding or crash and burn.

Lets inject some reality. Half of America has basically nothing. Another 25% would have to sink the majority of their accumulated wealth eg home equity into such an endeavor with a 50 50 chance of existing in 5 years. They COULD do it but it would be both scary and dangerous and half of them would end up ruined. It's like saying I could climb Everest.

I could scrape up the funds for the plane ticket and its possible I might survive the trip but anyone saying "most people could climb Everest" would be talking nonsense.

As a young adult who grew up with Discord throughout teens, discord has been so detrimental to my health. If it wasn't my group of comp peers in uni and hometown friends' choice of app, let alone the many fan projects with a home base on discord, I'd fuck off.

I've considered setting up my own matrix server for friends, but well I've noticed ppl are unwilling to adopt new tech like matrix, and pc would drain dorm energy limit.

All social media is bad in some way, but I feel that while I had bad experiences on all major platforms, Discord is by far the worst.

There's so many servers run by people who are unfit to run them, whether due to power or greed complex, mental illness, or immature/irresponsible. May just be my experience (I was a real mess and a cunt during my teens), but even when things weren't my fault, it felt so toxic and horrible.

And not to mention Discord's practices and stuff as a company. For instance, getting rid of the reporting system for bad actors, at one point an employee giving a bad actor backdoor to accounts, allowing them to access freely. More than that, but that's all I care to mention.

> I've pulled back the curtain on logistics and the wizard is just a regular guy.

I agree, but land at a different conclusion.

I dabbled in logistics a bit at one startup and the thing I found true is that every warehouse and receiving dock did things a little different and sometimes that thing was computer software and other times it was a person with sticky notes all over the walls of their tiny office by the bay door who was on 2-3 phone calls at a time screaming at/being screamed at by people moving goods around the city/state/country/world.

Logistics has a ton of room to optimize and I’m sure we’ll continue to see billion dollar startups roll out every year solving some part of it, but in the day-to-day operations of supply chain, change is so incredibly hard. The middle layer of management always seemed so risk averse to making any changes that had the slightest risk of disrupting their existing workflow because if one day they goof something up it quickly spiraled down the chain.

I'm convinced that (American) ISPs do passively log unencrypted DNS requests, so replacing their DNS with things like quad9 and not using dot/doh is mostly pointless, but the question was: will the isp hijack the response? I've never heard of one doing that, you?

I live in a developing country right now where jobs are plentiful. Employees jump from employer to employer for more money.
