> I think there is great power in just having a screen that doesn't vibe with the oversaturated video and image based distractions we are so used to

Similarly (easier but less drastic) I’ve seen people turn their phone to grayscale mode to make the device less engaging and remind you that it’s a productivity device, not an entertainment device. On iOS you can do this through the Accessibility settings. (Settings > Display & Text Size > Color Filters > Color Filters on, Grayscale
It's just a difference is scale of risk. For something closer: base jumping is still popular, no-harness climbing of tall buildings is still a thing on YouTube, crazy Russian groups still do pull-ups on construction cranes.
My bank does the same thing and I tel at them every time.

They did stop putting hyperlinks in email communications though. It’s a start.

They could easily conceive of the cost of printing pamphlets.
People do use Signal and Telegram* in settings where anonymity matters. Sure they aren't meant for that, but there's no other widely-understood solution, and most of the time it's good enough for them.

* Funny enough, not vulnerable this time because they use an in-house protocol, which is maybe even worse.
We have been suffering this. It's easy enough to weather high traffic loads for pages, but our issue is targeted applications. Things like website search bars are getting target with functional searches for sub pages and content by labels, etc.
It causes the web server to run out of handles for the pending database lookups.

A real mess. The problem is these searches are valid and the page will return a 200 result with "Nothing in that search found!" types of messages. Why would the crawler ever stop? It's going to work and work until we all die and there's still another epoch of search term combos left to try.

We solve problems like this all the time, but we're hitting another level and really exposing some issues. Ideally our WAF can start to kick the traffic. It's good to see other people having this issue. We first started addressing this last fall -- around November.
Is that a case where a rich person sets up a fund to transfer his wealth to, but still have control over it? Like the founder of Patagonia did.
Ha ha, it turns out that there is affirmative action, for libertarians!
The ones I've seen get scared pretty easily, and when scared will rocket off awfully fast.
This articles seems like it was at least partially written by AI. Lots of fluff and no clear explanation of what PINNs are and how they work (other than the code).
I agree that these are good products but the Chinese version of TikTok (Douyin) is very different - for example it promotes more productive content and has time limits for children. It’s also interesting watching young Americans flock to RedNote and fall for influencer videos painting a misleadingly positive image of China only to get shocked back to reality when they get banned for being gay or mentioning a certain year or saying something else that’s harmless.
TikTok was not required to restrict access to the app from devices in the US. Rather US companies (web hosting and app stores) were required to cease support. This means app stores like Google and Apple had to prevent downloads and installs (Apple still is). But the blanket shutdown of anyone with GPS coordinates within the US was not required. People were even still allowed to side-load the app where possible like in Android. So, the early and overly restrictive limitations from TikTok was for show and messaging to manipulate public opinion.

Edit Reference:

> If not sold within a year, the law would make it illegal for web-hosting services to support TikTok, and it would force Google and Apple to remove TikTok from app stores — rendering the app unusable with time.

That hollow, symbolic win could have been given to them by anyone other than Trump. If nobody else thinks a group's interests are worth listening to, don't be surprised when they start chasing after the tiniest morsels.
I must have read it incorrectly:

https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/200...

> As these opinions confirm, a presidential pardon removes, either conditionally or unconditionally, the punitive legal consequences that would otherwise flow from conviction for the pardoned offense.
A pardon, however, does not erase the conviction as a historical fact or justify the fiction that the pardoned individual did not engage in criminal conduct. A pardon, therefore, does not by its own force expunge judicial or administrative records of the conviction or underlying offense.
> Just because something is currently a function of the public sector, does not mean that it could not be achieved better by the private sector.

The exact opposite is often true. Just because something could be done by the private sector, doesn't mean that it could not be achieved better by the public sector.

This idea that the invisible hand of the market will keep us all clothed, fed, healthy and housed is a false one. None of that happens without the subsidies afforded to the private sector by the public. And that is in search of profit.
Front-page space is limited and a precious resource. There are 10,950 slots in a regular year, 10,980 in a leap year, and ~400k submissions, such that if you're batting average about 2.7% of your submissions stand a chance of making the front page.[1]

Resubmissions are permitted for that reason, and going through the New submissions and flagging and voting appropriately does help keep front-page quality higher.

Nobody needed generic API tokens for PyPI either. Not now, not years ago.

The problem isn't a technical one. The problem is that when a company / government body hears that the "official way to do X is Y", they'll create an internal policy to do Y all the time, regardless of how evil or stupid Y is.

You just destroyed a public good by making a bunch of organizations require the use of GitHub and other MS trash for no technical reason. You are a lot worse than a real estate developer who paved over a community park to build a parking lot for some mega corp. If people saw you doing this in a movie, it would've been so cartoonishly evil, the audience would think the director jumped a shark, yet, real life appears to be worse than the portrayal of evil in art.
We have an inventory of everything running, and where they are supposed to be running. If service X does not respond on resource Y the team responsible get an ticket. Check is on IP and names, and some other services. There are no good ways to do this other than being meticulous IMHO. Getting dumps of what is running where from all services is rather hard but more or less doable.

> Information wants to be free (as in libre) in the same way water wants to flow downhill

Water flows downhill to maximise entropy. The equivalent for information is dissolution into randomness. If anything, by this analogy, the “freedom” that involves information being copied and transmitted is the equivalent of pumping water uphill.

Freedom takes work. You don’t get it for free.

> You're trying to argue against facts with philosophy.

It is a fact that wages have remained stagnant for four decades.

It's also a fact that the wealth gap is growing between rich and poor, and that's what's distorting the figures you're citing. That's the only way, mathematically, you see wages remain flat while seeing wealth rise.

Look deeper at your facts, instead of letting them be tainted by your philosophy.

For me, a person who dramatically prefers democracy to totalitarianism, Socrates' critiques of democracy hold up quite well in our present context.

Why limit this criticism to philosophers? Should we drop Einstein from the theory of relativity (especially given how wrong he was about aspects of quantum mechanics)? Or Newton from mechanics and so on.
I'd consider doing that if I could rely on the browser not losing state after OS restart, browser restart, unexpected forced browser restart because of some autoupdate bullshit, accidental refresh, automatic unloading of tabs, badly thought-out shortcut for closing the browser window, unexpected update of the web page/PWA into which I typed something, accidental cookie wipe, certificate expiry, lack of reliable form of local storage[0], and a bunch of other things that make me consider everything in the browser ephemeral unless stored on a server.

(I'm not a browser fan, but even in my weaker moments, this one thing is what stops me from fully embracing living in browser.)

Pricing and product market fit discovery is a process. Solve the problem, make it maintainable, make it perform. You are on a VC startup accelerator funded forum where a component is encouraging makers and builders to solve problems (sometimes, for money), after all. Encouragement and constructive feedback is both cheap and kind.
I believe a lot of this hype is purely attributable to Karniadakis and how bad a lot of the methods in many areas of engineering are. The methods coming out of CRUNCH (PINNs chief among them) seem, if they are not just actually, more intelligent in comparison, since engineers are happy to take a solution to inverse or model selection problems by pure brute force as "innovative" haha.
No. It's a disaster. The poor pay for the richest to go to public universities. See Brazil.

DNSSEC would have made the typo slightly less problematic.
But [az.]mastercard.com does not do DNSSEC ...

See all issues on: https://internet.nl/site/mastercard.com/3122570

Nameserver is not reachable on advertised IPv6:

$ dig +short +tcp @dns1.mastercard.com dns1.mastercard.com AAAA
2607:3c00:6404:4::53

$ dig +tcp @2607:3c00:6404:4::53 mastercard.com SOA
;; Connection to 2607:3c00:6404:4::53#53(2607:3c00:6404:4::53) for mastercard.com failed: timed out.

Also: no HSTS on apex, while HSTS with "includeSubDomains ; preload" on www, this does not work! And it's worse, they do some geo-redirect, so apperantly for US IP addresses http://www.mastercard.com redirects to https://www.mastercard.us/en-us.html (see https://hstspreload.org/api/v2/preloadable?domain=www.master...)

I also would expect an IPv6 on the apex/www, since there are quite some ISP's with IPv6 where IPv4 is a GCNAT, if there is a noisy user on the IPv4, it's tricky to block those, except if the ISP supports IPv6 and the web server too.

Weirdly enough the SOA serial which is in YYYYMMDDnn (see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1912#section-2.2) was not updated (still indicates 2011):

$ dig +short +tcp @dns1.mastercard.com mastercard.com SOA
dns1.mastercard.com. hostmaster.mastercard.com. 2011127982 14400 3600 2419200 300

Some other SOA record abnormalities:

$ dig +short @a22-65.akam.net. az.mastercard.com SOA
a1-29.akam.net. hostmaster.az.mastercard.com. 2020068768 3600 600 604800 300

Indicates 2020, and hostmaster@az.mastercard.com is not reachable because az.mastercard.com does not have an MX record, nor A/AAAA record.

Sadly nobody recorded this in either DNSViz history (https://dnsviz.net/d/az.mastercard.com/Z5ErUw/dnssec/ is the first) or ZoneMaster history (see https://www.zonemaster.net/en/result/3fa42e8e683db1bf).

No you're right. I'm sure Trump released him as a deeply principled and selfless act.
I don’t think that’s true. Maybe in its infancy law really looks like that, but as societies grow their law books get more complex and can very easily become separated from majority perception of morality. Does morality explain zoning laws, or is it more about the equilibrium point of a pluralist conflict, everyone looking out for their interests, etc.
Anybody have a link to a description of the "Lot system" mentioned near the end?
> they literally said, well, you know, during the Cold War we, we classified entire areas of physics and took them out of the research community and like entire branches of physics basically went dark and didn't proceed

What are the odds that deep within US research labs, we have some crazy breakthrough tech tucked away? Like antigravity drives or force fields or whatever - complete with brand new breakthrough physical theories to support them.

I'd guess suppressing such a breakthrough without raising suspicion wouldn't be hard - probably only a few top guys can make the intellectual jumps to derive such theories and the experimental setup to validate them could very well cost billions.

The US government could just quietly whisk away the top talent into some secret lab, put out some fake papers showing this avenue of research is not noteworthy and not fund further public research in the area.
>It sounds like entrapment

The law is murky and seems to hinge on the court's opinion on whether the person who committed the crime would have had they not been influenced by an officer. The police being the ones to start the conversation doesn't rise to the level of entrapment. The police deceiving you into wanting to commit a crime may rise to the level of entrapment if the courts find you wouldn't have done it otherwise (the example I found that illustrated this best was "Hey there's a warehouse full of valuables let's go rob it" isn't entrapment but "Hey this guy said he's gonna kill your kid you need to kill him first" probably does absent any reason to believe you would have killed him without being deceived first). My guess would be that the grey area, plus the relative ease with which they were able to secure a life sentence for the other charges, is why the murder-for-hire charges never went to trial.
And one of them makes much of his fortune from government contracts and will literally get a personal office inside the white house.

It doesn't get any more kleptocratic than that. This sort of both sides of the buy/sell conflict of interest would get you fired from any properly ran company, but there's nothing that will be properly ran going forward.

And that's not even in the top five problems with him.
Those people that championed Ulbricht's cause are for the most part also the people championing the cause of drug dealers and other victims of New Prohibition. If you genuinely care about this cause, you might ask yourself whether alienating other supporters is the best approach.

I remember reading somewhere that, in times long past, if a company name was of the form “Johnson and Sons” (for example), it would be considered fraud to sell that company outside of the named family.

I personally think you’re on to something with tying companies to the reputation of specific natural persons, but I don’t think that is where we are going anytime soon.

Why the arguments against AI are so confusing
I can't speak to LWN, but from what I've seen this is a bot that crawls the site, generates search terms and "deeper" crawling techniques using AI, and then makes another set of requests.

This would be generating topical queries to add search for, e.g.,

https://lwn.net/Search/DoTextSearch?query=io_uring+Linux+release+syscall

Again -- they don't say specifically what the traffic is doing, and this is just an example, but in this scenario DDOS is probably closer to accurate.
Computer science is currently subservient to an economic climate in which the only viable business is one that scales revenue without scaling labor. That's the bitter lesson.
> only current income is increased

There's actually lots of taxes that aren't income or sales tax

> if everyone has 50% more money, there is very high probability that my business will go up A LOT

No, you'll be getting twice the money, but the money is worth half as much.

> Inflation is not a balance between taxation and spending.

It is for the US federal government.

> All Middle Eastern countries are having huge spending and almost zero taxes.

Those countries peg their currency to the dollar. Their money doesn't come from taxes, but instead from state oil companies. These countries aren't as free to hand out money like the US. If enough people tried to exchange their Saudi Riyals for dollars quick enough, and the Saudi government couldn't gather US dollars quick enough, their currency would very quickly collapse.
Azure has options when you use their DNS that they tie resource, Public IP, Azure WebApp and other to DNS. If resource is deleted, the record will be NXDomain. AWS probably has something for Route53.

Otherwise, good IaC can help but even in larger companies, I see more ClickOps then I should.

Agree regarding water and power, and really anything environmental.

As far as the market goes, I think part of the problem is that most industries are not true free markets, AKA: high competition, low barriers to entry.

Industries that are close to true free markets: restaurants, barbers, spas, handcrafted goods, almost any manner of small business.

These are some of the most ancient industries and have never collapsed or become overrun by corporations.

The issue with something like deregulating banks is that banking is not a true free market. There is no high competition (it's concentrated by a few corporations). So deregulating it can be disastrous because it's basically allowing a corporate monopoly to run wild.

If they deregulated it AND made a massive concerted effort to bring a ton of new, smaller, independent banks to the market, perhaps it could become a self-sustaining free market that truly benefits the people, with little need for government intervention.
I've found that Markmonitor is generally signed up for "public" address like akamai.com but rarely signed up for service domains since "who is going to screw up the service domain?"
Thanks for the elaborate response!

I understand your interpretation, and I agree with the first part of it. (Don't change an existing system without first understanding the implications of that change.') I think that's the core of the metaphore, as taken by most people.

I don't think the point is that you should never make changes to complex systems at all, though. I don't think its means that more primitive, or unaltered, states of a system are necessarily prefential to more altered states, which I infer from your comment.

If unalterated states were better, we would have to tear Chesterton's fence down — right? Fences don't occur naturally.
