> Maybe someone, somewhere, has decided that allowing petty criminals to get away with their crimes is worth maintaining the illusion that Tor is truly private.

This is what I believe. If they do have a way to track people, it wouldn't be worth blowing their cover for small stuff that wasn't a ridiculously huge national security threat that they could afford to throw away 20+ years of work for.

In fact there have been court cases that were thrown out because the government refused to reveal how their information was obtained... I think that usually means they're hiding it on purpose for a bigger cause. I also wouldn't be surprised if multiple SSL CAs are secretly compromised for the same reason.
The story of lottery winners is sometimes an unhappy one. A windfall can ruin relationships, lead to a loss of normalcy, make one a target for crime, and as you say, enable vices.
Thank you for sharing these links. They both worked for me (in the US); both were set to ON when I got there, and I was able to turn both OFF.
There is no law that says /tmp must be on tmpfs, and historically this wasn't done, because tmpfs is limited in size to some faction of the kernel's memory, while /tmp may be used to store much larger files.

For example, GNU sort can sort arbitrarily large input files, which is implemented by splitting the input into sorted chunks that are written to a temporary directory, /tmp by default. But this is based on the assumption that /tmp can store significantly larger files than fit in memory, otherwise the point is moot. So using tmpfs makes /tmp useless for this type of operation.

In the end, it's a trade-off between performance and disk space. I also prefer to mount /tmp on tmpfs for performance reasons, but you should not assume that this is the case on all systems.

Global registration is more about "a way to orchestrate who's allowed to send data to the ff00::1234 group" than "I hope we don't accidentally overlap!". It's the same reason we assign IPv6 unicast space to entities even though random generation could work almost all of the time.
You know what else was funded by the US government? Computers, the Internet and GPS. Also Signal (via OTF funded by Congress).
You're right, we should delve into a comparison more with respect to prolly trees. We actually have a lot of experience with prolly trees, and have found, in practice, that you need to do a lot of the things that folks like dolt have had to do to make them work nicely. Whereas with G-trees, the basic implementation turns out to be quite nice (and extremely easy to reason about).

One of the biggest benefits of G-trees in my mind, is their ease of implementation. Additionally, we did a lot of work to explore their statistical properties, which doesn't exist for prolly trees (though in hindsight, we have done this, so should probably write it up formally).
Thanks.

By taking B6 in the form of P5P you reduce the need to push the Pyridoxal Kinase enzyme (which uses zinc) and you will more than likely not have any neurological side effects. And you will also save your ATP for better things.

Indiscriminate?

I'd say the pager bombing was as /surgical/ as one could possibly be.

A very sophisticated and targeted attack, putting tiny amounts of explosives in devices used by terrorist-linked individuals (ONLY Hezbollah were using the pagers because of their paranoia about Israeli monitoring of cellphones).

An example of an /indiscriminate/ attack is Hezbollah's firing of unguided rockets into Israel's civilian areas. In July, for example, a Hezbollah rocket killed 12 children playing football in the Golan Heights. THAT is indiscriminate killing.
The BFL scam was where they were mining on equipment before sending it out, right? It's too bad they went that way. I bought two BFL Jalapenos with BTC I'd mined, and the hardware was pretty nice.
Financial shenanigans started with Palmisano's predecessor, Lou Gerstner, the first outside IBM CEO.

Reading about IBM CEOs, before and after Gerstner, the CEO was an IBM-lifer who came up through sales/marketing. Though Gina Rometty started in tech-related area at IBM. The current CEO has the deepest tech background of any IBM CEO. The company has pivoted towards cloud, esp. hybrid cloud.

IBM has exited many hardware/software segments to concentrate on consulting and being the goto for outsourced IT departments since the dot-com crash.

They've tried goosing sales by touting AI a couple times before the current wave - Deep Blue and Watson, which didn't have much long term impact revenue-wise.

They've gone after the cloud, esp. hybrid cloud, with recent acquisitions, esp. RedHat.

More context from AP:

The department said it estimated that about 5 million Americans would be able to use this service a year. In 2023, it processed 24 million passports, about 40% of which were renewals.

After staffing shortages caused mainly by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in lengthy passport processing delays, the department ramped up hiring and introduced other technological improvements that have reduced wait times by about one-third over last year. It says most applications are now completed in far less than the advertised six weeks to eight weeks and the online renewal system is expected to further reduce that.

technicly this is the only comment in this chain that is relevant to the featured article, but it's technicly so incomplete that it's almost wrong, I can tell from having read the thread and knowing next to nothing else about how TOR works.

They don't have plausible evidence to subpoena the guard node if a middle node only sees encrypted traffic. They would also need to control the exit nodes which communicate with the target's host or they simply control the host as a honeypot.
> I don’t think the idea for using transparent conductive materials as an antenna existed before

Many slightly older cars (2000-2020) had antennas embedded in glass. The idea is solid. Antennas in glass are protected, so they can be very thin and almost invisible, more aesthetically pleasing than a shark fin or a rod on the roof.

I would consider this an aesthetic choice, not so much engineering. A small antenna sticking out on the roof solves the engineering problem adequately.
Best degree today for high school grad wanting computer science?
Hi all,

My good friend's daughter wants to go into computer science, and she's academically a high achiever (4.0+ GPA, high SAT). She wants to go to college, so this is not a question about whether she should. She's going, and wants to pursue either computer science or math.

Given that, she's seeking advice on what the best degree would be for her that would get her into a CS career and making good money.

I advised AI or cognitive science at a good school, but I admit that the question stumped me a little.

Appreciate your insight. Thanks in advance!

> I don't think you'd have to consider migration all the data from Pivotal...

I do. You might not have demands to migrate all data from all of your potential customers, but far, far more people than you might expect treat their issue tracking system as a system of record and external memory for a HUGE assortment of things.

One hugely (and obviously) useful query chain that such a system answers is "Hey, this customer problem sounds familiar. Did we investigate it before? Did we solve it? If so, how? If not, why not?". For long-running projects, it is impossible to select the correct 10% of data to retain to also retain the ability to reliably -er- service those query chains.
I can't say I've traveled that much out of the US but I'd say in terms of service and cost it seems to be an entirely different probability distribution. Little things about service are a lot better for a normal foreign airline except for the ones like Ryanair which have cheap service but also very cheap tickets.

I have no idea if they've gotten into the "vice signalling" practice of wasting everybody's time with a baroque system of 9 different boarding zones (are you 1st class? a military veteran? have the silver card from one of the airlines that your airline merged with? reached a certain level in the frequent flier program?) that takes several minutes for the poor staff to explain and probably adds 15-20 minutes of ground handling time compared to an efficient system.
(e.g. "vice" because it looks avaricious but must really cost more money than it makes; sadly Southwest replaced its efficient system with another system that will drive up the cost of tickets and increase waiting at the airport.)
I think the technology is already there to hook into a 5g network and repeat it. However, you would need to create a network "Provider" for the mesh. Then you would need to connect all the nodes. In the end you have made one more wireless company. I think the governance model for the mesh provider would be way more important than the tech itself.

However, creating the Wikipedia/Internet Archive of wireless ISPs would be pretty awesome.
Had a similar issue with GCP (for a much larger amount) two years ago. Mistakes happen. In the end it took 3-4 months before the credit showed up in our billing account.

In my experience GCP does not want to bankrupt customers for some out of control API calls.

Keeping paying your invoices while excluding the huge amount you cannot afford. I think your fears of account suspension are overblown as long as you have an active billing dispute and are otherwise current in your billing account.

Also you have to do your part to avoid repeating this mistake. In the absence of better cost-based controls -- make sure your quotas are brought _way_ down to control usage.

Also add alerting including an escalation to something that will wake you up on nights/weekends like PagerDuty.
5G for just internet is somewhat doable, but unlikely reasonable. There is a volunteer-driven LoRaWAN Helium[0] mesh network which added 5G some 2 years back. But it's cryptocurrency-driven and apparently unprofitable for volunteers investing in radios and antennas. At least where I live.

My neighbor still has the Helium antenna and radio on his balcony but it's offline due to costs/profits disproportion. It's the LoRaWAN, pre-5G hardware though, and I don't know anyone running the 5G version, if it's even a real thing. I liked the idea from technical perspective but the project itself was off-putting for me due to being built around a crypto token and having overall web3 smell.

>If it's part of every modem/gateway router, there should be so much bandwidth it doesn't matter.

Why would it be part of every modem/gateway? Since there's no monetary incentive to participate, in all likelihood all nodes would be run by volunteers who are shelling out extra for a compatible modem/router.

Actually come to think of it, you can run a volunteer network providing internet connectivity with off the shelf equipment right now. It's called setting your wifi network to "open". Why don't people do that? How would your mesh network fix those issues?

There's some specs out for 5G on unlicensed bands, but even that uses licensed bands for coordination.

Damn, not much has changed since I last looked at the project nearly 15 years ago when evaluating it against other management packages in an academic computing center. So frustrating to have all of the words words words and not a single shot of it in action, ya know, like you’d see it when in use.
I disagree with you.

Mr Beasts YouTube videos make significant amounts of ad revenue. Some of that money goes to YouTube. But there is nothing wrong with having most of that money go to the creator of the videos.

You can apply this logic to other forms of entertainment too. You can say LeBron James or Michael Jordan just play basketball. But their basketball games generated enormous ad revenue. Shouldn’t a sizable chunk of that go to them and other NBA players that play the game?

Same logic for late night show comedians, all other big entertainment YouTube channels, tv stars, movie stars, movie directors, podcasters like Joe Rogan and so on.

All of these have a thing in common. They release content in some media like traditional tv or newer media like YouTube and they are primarily supported by advertising in their content and through merchandise sales.

I think it’s actually more moral for these people to be making lots of money than otherwise. Because otherwise the money generated by their content just goes to YouTube executives or tv executives or Spotify executives or some other corporate big wigs.

If ANY entertainment makes a ton of money shouldn’t the money go to the ones who create it?

In tv and movies, the Writer’s Guild and the Directors Guild routinely go on strikes for this issue.

Also I think it’s great George Lucas made billions of dollars on Star Wars. Many adults in the 1970’s thought Star Wars was junk for the mind…

Do you know for sure that otel doesn't do this? Most collector pipelines I've seen use the batch processor, which may include exactly what you're describing. Not being obtuse, I've never looked at the source to see what it does.
Somewhat connected to the approach proposed in this article is something I've found that really helps when I've taken a hit:

Reframe the loss as a learning experience that will save you much more in the long term.

Example: You can read and listen to all the advice in the world, say, about being careful who you lend money to, but when you get stung for $100 by a "friend" that is going to register very, very much more strongly and will possibly save you $1000s in the future as your antenna will be much more effective.

It isn't something that can always be used but being able to see seemingly painful hits as cheap lessons can be quite empowering.
Reusing the markdown link syntax is interesting. I wonder if it can be extended to allow for extra attributes, for example srcset. The parenthesis make it look like a function so maybe adding more arguments, something like:

They still do, I believe. Cars usually have several antennas embedded in e.g. the rear glass. Even something like the FM radio often has 3+ antennas in different locations and the receiver switches between them to get the best signal. One shark fin isn't enough.

Interesting example - Complex ERP inventory management and manufacturing experience here:

It seems reasonable to need manual adjustments, but I'm not sure if entries would be needed. Deciding how to make corrections and adjustments seems to be key in any manual journal entries, or not.

If journal entries derive from transactions elsewhere, chaining those together, or something to adjust them them is pretty reasonable.

About split entries like the scenario you've outlined? Cost of Goods Sold, vs manufacturing are all often in different parts of the ERP that may not tie back to journals always. Perhaps there is a pattern to setup that is repeatable. I'm not sure if you have a software background, but source code control of managing the bits of what changed when is important.

Another scenario where manual stuff might not work is if we have a just in time manufacturing process, and don't complete the finished goods until the items are on the truck and signed for by the driver (un damaged) so then you can finalize manufacturing, invoicing, shipping documents, etc. There's ways to reduce having to undo all of those if product is damaged between manufacturing and shipping. Of course this has it's own caveats. Implemented OK in SAP though.

Overall, a real need and goal is: reducing the amount accountants or anyone who works with an accounting data has to dump out data from the accounting system to "manipulate the data" to get a view of what happened/happening/needs to happen.

Unpopular take based on experience: It's been my experience that a good chunk of accounting groups that run around with their hair on fire that the system is somehow not working... calls in someone with database or analysis skills, to discover something wasn't done as needed, or not configured and implemented. In this way, the Technical ERP whisperers out there who are not accountants but handle the "in depth analysis"..

> I see the kind of freedom that I have because of that passport as one of the biggest modern injustices.

I think you're confusing a vague and abstract problem of "injustice" with a very concrete and real difference in ways different countries manage their public services and institutions.

You only listed personal benefits that a country like Germany provides to their citizens and the higher education institutions built up by the UK, and how it contrasts with the ones provided by Egypt.

Quite bluntly, this is a discussion over privileges. Not injustice, but privileges. I assure you that countless people from Germany, UK, the EU, or anywhere in the world, would desperately want to have access to the same opportunities. Depicting this as a matter of being granted a passport is at best survivorship bias, and at worse an affront to those who had it but still weren't lucky enough to benefit from the same opportunities.
