"At the time, once you "connected" you got a real IP you could share with anyone in the world."

"What we got were CGNAT, hole punching, rendez-vous servers..."

How was the real IP shared in the 90s. Was it via search engine.

Today, one can use TOR (hidden service) to run a "rendez-vous" server. To be clear, I mean a user-controlled rendezvous server, not the rendezvous servers run by the TOR project. TOR hidden service provides a free, world-reachable IP.

The user-controlled rendezvous server is a daemon running on the user's computer. It does not need to pass traffic. It serves only as a way to share a "real IP" (and a port number).

The peer-to-peer connection can then take place outside of TOR.

Although most elixir code I've worked with was written by guys coming from ruby/java, and they just couldn't resist abusing macros for emulating inheritance, or overusing macros per se, once you switch your mind and clean that shit up, elixir is more maintainable than golang, for example (working for go company now). It has more tools to manage complexity and boilerplate, while nearly all golang code is complex/boilerplate itself.

I was there in 1998. In fact, a year prior, I think I briefly had FreeBSD commit privileges†. I stand by what I wrote: if he hadn't found an audience with CATB, someone else would have found an audience with some other effortpost.

I'm not writing about his politics. I've written at length here about CATB, on its own merits, with none of the surrounding problematic context of what latter-day ESR became. It's not a good post. What's true about it isn't novel, and what's novel about it isn't true. In particular, "Linus's Law" is --- again --- a running industry joke.

It’s interesting. A big reason why Qualcomm got to making CPUs in the first place was that they could sell it as a value add to their modem chips everyone was using: now you can have both in one chip!

We have seen Apple try to make a modem of course, but it seems to have fizzled out again. Wonder why they never looked at WiFi/BT, it’s a lot easier and Intel recently sold theirs iirc.
It’s simply way too easy to get caught nowadays. I don’t think there’s much more to it, honestly. Even if an individual makes a concerted effort to avoid technology (phone, computer, etc), the sprawling surveillance infra only encompasses more each day.
> What’s Facebook’s incentive here

Corporate inertia. There wasn't clear ownership within FB to manage these kinds of political minefields back then. You have to remember that this was the 2010-2015 timeframe and social media was riding high due to the impact it had during the Arab Spring only a couple years prior.

> why is that content so popular with Burmese people

Because society in Myanmar is extremely communalized, with both ethnic strife among the 70 different ethnic groups and also religious strife between the 4 main religions.

Myanmar has been in a state of civil war since independence, and this is further exacerbated by regional powers fueling the flames by supporting militias along with the army.

2PC (or atomic commitment more generally) is needed for sharded/partitioned systems with different data on each node. In these systems, each node gets a vote on whether a transaction should be allowed to commit. Replication, making multiple copies of the same data, doesn't need 2PC. Instead, algorithms like Paxos, Raft, or chain replication are used.

Lots of lawyers have said it's probably incompatible. Is it? Who knows. You're saying it's all nonsense, which seems quite a far-fetched claim. I find it hard to see how anyone could defend any other answer than "it's presently unclear", possibly followed by "but it's probably (in)?compatible".

That distros haven't been sued yet seems meaningless. Granted, Oracle has been a bit better in recent years, but people haven't forgotten Oracle v. Google, SCO v. {everyone}, USL v. BSDi, etc. One of the lessons is that you can never know who will own some piece of copyright or IP in the future and what they will do with it. Oracle could off-load all of the Solaris stuff to some copyright troll tomorrow.

But it doesn't really matter who is right or wrong here or if it is or isn't compatible: there's enough of a dispute for lawsuits, and they're going to be costly and a headache anyway.
I guess I'm not the only kid who was into assembly! Impressive stuff. In 7th grade in 2001 I moved to the US, and got really into the whole TI-83 ecosystem.

In 8th grade I started socializing and lost the gift. Still can't believe I did all that.

I not only read the article (which was great), but I was in the same space at this time: one of the civil society groups constantly trying to raise issues with Facebook.

It all rings very true to me: I think one thing to note is that not only did Facebook lack Burmese speakers internally, but so did the human rights groups with the best access to Facebook. As Kissane notes, Myanmar came online very quickly after the reforms, and -- unlike many countries in the Middle East or even China, because the story there was not one of authoritarian oppression, but a /release/ from authoritarian pressure, it did not fit easily into the template that tech companies were slowly learning to respond to. A few years before this, Facebook and Twitter had been shaken into some kind of recognition of their responsibilities in the Arab Spring and Iranian protests, but the result of that had been a very, shall we say, US-centric view of how repression plays out globally. Bluntly, the violent genocide of muslims by buddhists, in a country led by Nobel Peace Prize winner and defender of democracy Aung Sang Suu Shi, was a story that had to cut across many political and cultural presumptions of the US and Europe before it would be listened to.

I guess that brings me to your comment about "free speech". It seems a little petty to point you to the usual put-downs about how the phrase "shouting fire in a crowded theater" has historically been deployed to /silence/ people trying to /stop/ mass violence (because they are seen to be trouble-makers).

I'll note though that the failures of Facebook and others at this time came about because people claimed to be able to moderate and provide a forum where only civil discussion and "the truth" would be discussed -- and could be swayed to stop it, if you could just get through to the right people. Many of us, both in "free speech" organizations and on-the-ground humanitarian groups, argued that this was a role that Facebook was not, and could not play: and the more it claimed it could take on this responsibility, the more terrible the consequences would be.

Taika's 2nd - the 3rd Thor movie and Gunn's 2nd - the 2nd Guardians movie was quite bad IMO. I think Marvel could do a better job by having directors who direct only one movie and quit. Taika is a good director but he is not a good "serial director". He is great with original ideas.

But Marvel being a serial franchise by the metric of average performance the Russo brothers are the most talented director(s).
It seems to me that while it's foolish to assume we can always improve on something, it's not at all foolish to try to do better (even if the attempts don't succeed). Asking "can we do better than this?" and trying to find a better way is a prerequisite for progress, after all.

That doesn't refute the original point, though. Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts are products that embrace the open podcasting model.

It was happening since before the coup, and has been happening since independence. Kachin, Saigang, Rakhine, Shan, and Chin States have all been facing violence insurgencies since independence.
I'm speaking in very abstract terms as a non-expert, but the critical distinction in this case is that prime factorisation (the basic underpinnings of RSA / similar encryption) is known to be an NP problem (more precisely - sub-exponential) for a classical computer but is polynomial for a quantum computer

To achieve the same computing power on a classical computer, it would need to be exponentially more powerful - this is because (abstracting heavily) the quantum computer can test all possible inputs to a function at once, where a classical computer must test them one at a time

[I know the article is about understanding the cultural level of Latin and Greek understanding in 18 century Britain, but as a Latin teacher I feel obligated to comment about Latin teaching methodologies]

This is a common complaint and is encountered many times in modern contexts.
I contend that this is due to the method of teaching; namely in language courses that lack sufficient amounts of comprehensible input (i.e. simple text that one can read quickly without needing to pause to consult a glossary).

Using a Comprehensible Input method, one can acquire a language much better and faster. For example I was able to read books in the Vulgate comfortably after only 200-300 hours of language learning. There are also people who have learned to speak Latin fluently, for example SaturaLanx or ScorpioMartianus on Youtube.
Far from it. University professor.
Facebook didn't remove posts promoting ethnic violence in a timeous manner. In fact, it did the opposite, its algorithms promoted these types of inflamed posts to increase user engagement. It's not hard to understand why Meta is responsible unless you're being disingenuous; you didn't touch on that aspect. Facebook is not some harmless message transceiver. And not to mention, Facebook didn't have sufficient native speakers to moderate the content. So at worst, they're negligent.

There are responsibilities to allowing people on your platform and having them speak to the internet; free speech is not absolute.

Using a 'master key' like in the DrDuh guide does avoid moving the private key around while also allowing for using the same key on multiple devices.

The DrDuh guide suggests generating the key offline (e.g. a live iso), and having a backup of that private key material somewhere. In DrDuh's guide, the 'master' private key is never accessible on an online machine, only the private subkeys.

An advantage with YubiKeys is that the private key material can't be re-accessed, so putting the 3 private subkeys on the YubiKey is even nicer.

I'd found it hard to visualise, so came up with these diagrams:

I've never liked the accessibility way as I don't want the AssistiveTouch menu triggers either, nor do I want to toggle accessibility on and off to work around that nested problem. I just want my phone to do nothing (except the dual side long press power off fallback since there is no way around that need) when locked, not do a bunch of things to override what it's doing when unlocked.

I feel like they half assed the button implementation though. I like it in that I can at least now turn it off but that really had nothing to do with the physical approach. The great part about it being a switch means it could actually have that option to operate as that "does nothing when locked but is still a useful action button" concept but that's not actually implemented, it still either does something all the time or doesn't do anything. That's probably asking for too much customizability for the way Apple's design mindset works though.

I guess could see it still being just a switch too, where you can configure it to do something on toggle rather than read the raw state all the time, but again - probably asking too much of the way Apple likes to design things for "one size fits all" configuration options.
In my case, we learnt it in high school. Our teachers insisted on it being very useful to look up the pronunciation of unknown words, and we even had exams where we had to transcribe from IPA to the standard spelling.

This was in Spain though, were the national language has a very consistent spelling, and English is taught as a second language. I don't know how it is in other countries.
See my reply to petsfed.

Regarding the Native Hawaiian's say, they do. This is a liberal democracy, and their voice is heard, quite loudly, especially the fraction that support the sovereignty movement. If we start parceling out the use of public land by ethnicity, we go down a dark road. But from an electoral point of view, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs is an elected body, and in recent history those that are either pro or neutral on the TMT have been getting elected.

>The TMT is also a comparatively easy target for activists to push back on colonization compared to large corporations with continents of lawyers, or the tourism economy that provides revenue for the island.

That's true. They are picking on an easy target that is not harming them or their movement. They are delaying progress for an idea (sovereignty) that most of the people in Hawaii do not agree with. It's politics impeding science, yet again. But since it's done from the "right" side of politics, it seems to get a pass from people where it would not be in other instances.

It's unfortunate that this never really took off and was eventually discontinued. Pi Edition was only ever distributed as an ARMv6 executable for Linux on Raspberry Pi, without any source code, so it isn't nearly as moddable as the Java edition of the game. But it had a minimalistic modding API using a TCP protocol, and has libraries for many programming languages.
How is this possible? When do you play, for how long?
Nope. I don’t know if it put itself in some kind of analog mode for composite. I can’t remember if that was a thing around the switch to lightning. But the cool hack has always been how the HDMI adapter worked.
I wouldn't even disagree with a lot of what's you're putting down, but it's not very relevant, no? Even if you believe that we've "outsourced violence" - and honestly I agree, it's all to easy to forget that a lot of our first world material conditions are predicated on cheap third world labor - there's still a difference between global exploitation, and stabbing a man to death over public urination.
Algorithms have been developed for quantum computers that could be potentially effective at breaking public key cryptosystems whose security relies on the difficulty of solving certain math problems on classical computers. In particular, the discrete logarithm problem and integer factorization of very large numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm.

There are no quantum computers large enough to even come close to attempting this, and there's a question about whether it's ever going to be physically possible to build a quantum computer large enough to actually attack something like a TLS key exchange in real time. Classical computers are equally as fast/faster at other tasks.

> In reading the article it is clear that at that the BlackBerry leadership decided that it was important for them strategically to address the rise of the iPhone.

It's my conclusion that RIM made a crucial misstep when it attempted to go head-to-head with the iPhone, as exemplified by the ill-fated Storm. Perhaps with the launch of the iPhone, RIM should of pivoted out of consumer electronics. My family is from Latin America. Circa 2007 BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) was all the rage. Carriers even offered specialized BBM phone plans. I recall seeing ads for plans with unlimited BBM's but low data and limited SMS. Fast forward to today, and WhatsApp has firmly taken the reins from BBM in Latin America. Looking back, I can't help but wonder if RIM had the potential to become the WhatsApp of today. Instead RIM locked BBM away in the confines of the enterprise world, guarded by their BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

European alphabets descend from the short lived alphabet invented in Ugarit. It spread by the Phoenicians to Mycenaean Greece and Carthage and then later to the Latins who would found Rome. It should be noted the Minoans already had an older writing system at that time now referred to as Linear A, but it was syllabic not alphabetic.

“Hopkins University decided to get the best estimates they could by combing through the published literature, they found that in the 11 life cycle analyses they turned up, the average greenhouse gas footprint from plant-based meats was just 7 percent of beef for an equivalent amount of protein. The plant-based products were also more climate-friendly than pork or chicken — although less strikingly so, with greenhouse gas emissions just 57 percent and 37 percent, respectively, of those for the actual meats.”

There is a real question here about whether Facebook's algorithms created the zeitgeist or just reflected it. Since most countries have Facebook and most countries are avoiding Facebook-fueled mass murder sprees, I suspect it is more that their algorithms accurately reflected what a large number of people were thinking.

It is an interesting question, and maybe there will be compelling arguments made in Part II. But that hasn't happened in Part I.
