This has a wonderful retro-science-fiction "what if we dug tunnels badly in the 1950s and drove around in them" feel to it. Like Asimov "caves of steel" but .. smaller. Because who has the time to make giant underground caverns for post-destructionist revolutionaries to meet in as autonomous cars whizz by. (what kind of a name is Elijah anyway? at least his wife had a decent name like Jezabel)

I have nothing in principle against tunnels, or even these tunnels except some things which should be simple like underground stations and passing places and making the thing buttery smooth-as seem to have been lost on the expedited need to do it cheap and fast. its CAP theorem for tunnels: you can have good, or you can have cheap and fast. you can't have all three. and if you want good you can't have two of them.

The boring company is a giant con job. TBM are well understood, as is the systematic processes to make tunnels at scale. LV is one of the cheapest places to dig, London used to be because the London clay was load bearing, waterproof and provided input stock for brick building. LV is at least not stone. London has so many tunnels they have to go deeper now. The clay is warming up too. You can't run trains for 100 years without dumping thermal into the system. If you have never seen the cleaner systems in the London Tube, think about what comes out of your ear and your belly button and then scale it up 1000x and add rats.

The main critique I have echoes things others will say better: It's just wrong to make this kind of thing private. Public transport should be built by the public for the public. Now, I know there's a heap of religion built up in that, but if you want to argue for private roads, go to the outskirts of D.C. and talk to any worker who has to transit over what Macquarie Bank calls the giant american cash machine. It's just wrong to do it this way.

I'm cool with crypto. I just don't think people should be "investing" with it. Look at bitcoin or most other coins....while you can buy stuff with it most value is due to traders and crypto miners.

At least with stuff like monero you have semi stable prices, privacy, low transaction fees, and plenty of places use/accept monero. I'd argue its one of the better coins as its also resistant to asic miners and tries to encourage CPU over GPU mining. That said the key part is crypto should never be treated like an investment like stocks or art. Its supposed to be a digital, hopefully privacy and anonymous, alternative to cash.

Crypto is cool from a technology perspective, and its a cool thing to research. I get why people hate most crypto, and I can agree with some points they might have, but let's not generalize an entire technology based on the most well known failures....however embarrassing they might be.

> One way to resolve this is to use Exact wording to establish this "line between the two" you are talking about.

That doesn't touch the core issue: what if your exact wording goes against the law, the constitution or what the justice system is willing to allow ?

That's part of what we call "reasonable". It's not just personal judgement, it can include for instance punishment for willingly killing someone, to go an extreme.

You can't put in exact word in a contract "However way I die from the moment I jump off the plane until two hours after the I touch the ground, Company X should not be faulted in any way, shape or form". That can't be upheld if the instructor cuts your parachute with a knife during the descent, even if you meant it that way in the contract. It's still an homicide.

So for a perfect match they'd need to have some sort of unique identifier that's present in the first set of data you ask them to remove, as well as being present in any subsequent "acquisitions" or "scrapes" of your data.

If these devs that scrape/dump/collate all this info are anything like the ones I've seen, and they're functioning in countries like the US and UK whereby you don't have individual identifiers that are pretty unique, then I'd say the chance of them being able to get such a "unique" key on you to remove you perpetually, is next to impossible. And if it's even close to being "hard", they'll not even bother. Doubley-so if this service/people/data is anything like the credit-score companies, which are notoriously bad at data de duplication and sanitation.

Likewise, if you want them to do some sort of removal using things other than a unique identifier, then you have to have some sort of function that determines closeness between the two records. From what I've heard, places like Interpol, countries' border-control and police agencies usually use name, surname and dob as a combination to match. Amazingly unique and unchanging combination, that one! /s

I think it's time someone made a crowd-sourced ToS accepting tool which has a random person on the other end is accepting your ToS and companies have to prove that you yourself accepted it (I doubt they'd be able to).

I really hope a precedent is set that abusive ToS are unenforceable since they are changed on the fly against users' will.

I haven't worked on collision detection since the 1990s. But convex hull collisions are very fast with GJK. And the space swept by translating a convex hull is itself a convex hull. So continuous collision detection (no fly-through) is possible that way. But that's usually overkill. Objects that move more than their own dimension in one frame time are usually bullets, and those should get special handling.
Haha OK this has to be part of a bigger practiced rant. Please tell me you’ve gathered your thoughts on the external stomach somewhere I can read.(not being sarcastic, love the term)
Oh yes.. I haven't thought of this. Oh my. Ultrafiltration by/with osmosis and a semi permeable membrane allows to remove water and small molecules. The same process as dialysis-treatment in kidney failure. To get the sugar and water solubles out of milk, you need to pull a bit of the water from the milk and with it all the stuff that is smaller than the holes in the membrane (filter). And then, you readd plain water or take the ultrafiltrate and do a second stage of filtering with even finer membrane. And readd this to the now concentrated, thick milk. If it's not like the principle of dialysis, then maybe be like lipidapheresis which is a bit different in function. Or a Mix of the two systems :)

So it's possible. Thank for pointing out.
A far more direct consequence of the current situation is that these executives just do whatever the hell they want to maximize their profits at everybody else's expense. Without punishment enough to make it unprofitable, dishonesty only has incentives, on both business and personal level.

I just don't see that twice-removed latent effect having worse consequences for society than the base problem. Not by a long shot.

As a kid, I grew up playing in a marsh that turned out to be the illegal, unmarked, non-access-controlled chemical waste dump for a large specialty chemical plant nearby that had operated there since the late 19th century. Those executives knew what they were doing was wrong— it was the 90s, not the 60s— but spent decades telling bald-faced lies to everyone involved, and when the writing was on the wall for regulatory action, they just dumped the company onto a shell company so the large international parent corporation wouldn't be in the news, and retired happily in huge mansions while the parent company dumped probably 2 years profits into the superfund project to remove the most dangerous stuff and cap/fence of the entire area. I could certainly never know for sure how much that exposure affected my cancer, but the chance of it being zero is pretty slim. Nobody even told me or anyone else around there— I only knew about it because I dug up some old EPA document scans. You're goddamned right they deserve to be in jail and not taking 4 month yacht trips. On a moral level, I think they deserve worse. It was not a sparsely populated area.
Ever since the Equifax breach I’ve been a proponent of a new national ID program to replace the SSN, that can be designed for what the SSN has become and tolerant to these never ending data breaches.

> On the other hand, if you can be flexible enough to allow quirks on import while not perpetuating them on export, eventually you and other software built with the same philosophy standardize the field.

How? The only thing I can see happening is perpetuation of sloppy use of standards. "Why, why should I change my |-deliminated CSV dialect that requires a double-semicolon at the end of each row, which is arbitrarily denoted by either \n or \r or \n\r when all those programmers will accomodate me, no matter how little sense it makes to do so?

> I do think there’s a point where things are standardized enough that you can safely stop doing that

I agree. And that point was when someone sat down, and penned RFC-4180

Everything after that point, has to justify why it isn't RFC compliant, not the other way around.
Clickbait headline. Buzzfeed was the worst thing to happen to journalism. Now every publication that once cared to have some semblance of reputability feels the need to emulate its style, reducing every article to something that sounds like an ad or a movie trailer.
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll definitely consider it.
And Musk's actual results were a tunnel that was more expensive and slower to build per km than the channel tunnel. And this one isn't built under the sea straddling two countries with entirely different legal systems, but under a tiny patch of desert in a very permissive legal environment.

And the Channel tunnel probably carried more people through in its first few months than the LVCC will have transported in its first few decades.

It's a monumental flop on every possible level.

Depends. MASQUE implies QUIC and a lot of coporate networks still block QUIC, forcing a fallback to TCP (for web browsers).

Not sure how they want to address this in case of WARP?

Nevertheless, MASQUE is some pretty exciting development in the network space.

Show HN: Open-source Powerful virtual data grid smartsheet with customization
Really weird article. Starting with the whole claim that the tunnel built is the Las Vegas Loop (actually known by LVCC) which is the same as the 93 stop full rollout (actually known as Vegas Loop); they are connected but the terminology was very muddying. This makes it really confusing when they're eg. objecting to calling it a underground system and not really making clear what they're talking about (Vegas Loop is very clearly an underground system, the whole loop is underground).

There's a bunch of stuff where both they complain about LVCC not being very much (which is true, it's their first track, and while it was much more affordable than the competing bid and has exceeded requirements, it's also super short) and also in the same post talk about how the operating room doesn't stack up to other mass transit operating rooms (yes, why would it?).

The fire safety comparisons are reasonable but I would still like to ask when people make comparisons with historic tunnel fires, for said people to actually go look up why said historic tunnel fires were so bad. Vegas Loop isn't going to be carrying trucks full of flour and margarine alongside vehicles that stop working when said goods catch on fire. Ultimately the Loop is safe largely by combination of not including the set of things that make tunnels dangerous combined with having small vehicles with good failure isolation (electric powertrains, air filtration, etc.).

Comments about capacity are also a bit weird. LVCC's capacity is more than it needs. Vegas Loop's capacity is not as large as inordinately expensive subway systems, but also it's not an inordinately expensive subway system, and its claimed capacity compares favourably to many existing rail systems across the US. Maybe it's because they misread the passengers per hour stat as a passengers per day stat? That is a big difference!
Hate the smell of ATF but it was a life saver on some hinges that I wanted to save, but I couldn’t get to move after trying penetrating oil, wd-40, and some other things (not in that order ). ATF after a few hours succeeded.
Of course they work properly once you paste them into a browser. But then you've visited the URL.

One alleged justification for slugs is that they allow people to guess what the URL is about without actually visiting it. This usually happens in forums, comments, text messages, and other places where people can only use plain text. But non-ASCII slugs look undecipherable in exactly such places.
Quick slightly-on-topic questions: I always read local press releases about how a major local rail or road or stormwater tunnel project "has gotten its TBM" and is assembling it in a portal dug for the initial staging.

It seems that a lot of projects decide on a diameter and then order a TBM for the expected materials that will have to be ground up [sic]. Would it be any significant savings (if you were in Great Britain for instance) to deliberately engineer your whole infrastructure design, and funding, and timeline, to use the exact same diameter as England's High Speed 2's TBM and then run that TBM after they are done with it? There must be a lot of single-use TBMs but I don't know what their builders reuse from one machine to the next.
>Even if you are able to categorically claim PMF, it doesn't guarantee business success. There are a fair number of startups that are able to build out their product, raise investor funding, and gain early traction, only to peter out and never reach growth stages.

To me it seems obvious that these startups achieved PMF only in a small subset of their target market. That is, they misidentified the market in which they had achieved fit and/or did not conduct an adequate segment analysis.
I wonder could you combine command line TOTP tools with port knock for a fully time-based unique knock codes? Or even use the TOTP code for the ssh port?

I'm totally gonna do this.
There is such a thing as taking product-market fit too far (and I agree with the thesis here that PMF is not a thing you achieve just once and then have forever). But when you actually work on a product, you will feel PMF when it's present, and you will miss it when it's gone.

I'll give a concrete example. I spent two years running Triplebyte's product near the end of its life. For the first year, working on it was like pulling teeth. It was one of the most frustrating and demoralizing experiences of my life, trying dozens of experiments and having every single one fall flat. Triplebyte had hundreds of company clients, hundreds of jobs, designers, salespeople, an established not-terrible brand, you name it. But none of those things could solve the fact that people did not want what we had.

About a year in, we tried something different. It wasn't particularly polished. It was actually really ugly. It had plenty of problems. But when we showed it to users, they immediately went yes, this is a thing I want. People who were about to leave came back. Sales process close rates jumped by an order of magnitude. We actually had more candidates getting attention in October 2022 than we did in January 2022, despite October being well into the most severe tech crash anyone's seen in a generation. We felt better in the midst of our entire market falling apart than we had when it was riding high, because we at least felt like we had a product that did something.

It wasn't ultimately enough to save us (and I'm not at all sure it would have been even if circumstances had been better; the product wasn't around long enough for many of its problems to play themselves out). But you could feel the difference in every meeting.

Y'all watch the news lately? Look at how Democrats are covering the Presidential race right now versus how they were covering it three months ago, before the previous campaign self-destructed on live TV. On paper, the race isn't that different from the pre-self-destruct campaign. It's maybe a point or two more in their favor than it was before. But the energy, the "vibes", are night and day. There's hope, interest, energy. People are joking about it, having fun with it, making stupid memes rather than gritting their teeth and waiting for the end.

Finding product-market fit is like that. It's palpable in the air when you have it. It greases over tensions because people aren't constantly arguing over why the product is broken. It makes people get excited about ways they can improve it, experiments they can run to make it better. It makes your sales and accounts teams feel like they're not trying to polish a turd. It shows up in your metrics, yes, but startups live or die on people getting really excited about something.
The LVCC so far is more expensive, slower to build, has had more disruptions, needs huge stations, is only one-way, and has terrible privacy (you're stuck with a stranger in the small space of a car instead of a the large space of a subway car).

It's worse than a subway in every possible way. And it will always be worse than a subway in every possible way, because cars are an extremely inefficient way of carrying people around. You can make a train with more private space per passenger than a car and still fit way more people in one than in the equivalent amount of car. There will never be a way to make cars as economical as trains, for very very very basic geometric reasons.
lol, hadn't read all the comments before posting mine.. Have an upvote! Actually who not do both. Vary the knock code and the resulting ssh port using succesive codes.

I just checked knockd man page and it turns out it can use a one_time_sequences file that contains a sequence of port knock combinations. I wonder if this file is dynamically checked, or loaded and parsed during startup? Or could one simply echo the TOTP code straight into that file and hup the knockd service each time (let's say the TOTP interval was set to something like 5 minutes).
