How would that work?

You could sign that you trust your next-to-last hops to deliver traffic to you but transitive delivery isn't guaranteed and not every chain of valid hops is actually workable as a route capacity-wise. A completely signature-valid route with near 100% packet loss isn't much better than an undeliverable leak.
Maybe I'm cheap. I want cheap frames and Ikea-like offerings, but I want custom sizes and combinations, and I want it for like $20. It seems ludicrous to me to spend $5 on a cheap thing but $100 if I need it custom-sized.

I fully acknowledge I may be asking too much. Just saying that if you can hit that price point I will probably become a customer. No idea if I'm unique.
This (interference) is how the feature size of semiconductors has gotten so small.

You can't actually parse SIP messages unambiguously these days. Even big open source projects like Asterisk and OpenSIPS have strictly different and incompatible interpretations. I'm purely talking about parsing, not actually interpretation of the content. It's that bad. And yes, this opens up security holes when one system is trusted to read the message correctly.
Curious that bluetooth is not included. That's pretty essential for most car-audio setups these days, no?
> if that's the case perhaps the site could explain that better.

The ambiguity is a concern for me. Also, I was a little wrong on the $200 figure earlier. The number is actually $150 for two matted prints of mine that I have sitting at home waiting for me to frame them.
Dart and Internet Explorer
BGP is one of those things that make the internet fragile yet resilient at the same time.

Fragile in that any person who controls an Autonomous System can advertise routes and if your neighboring AS'es are not configured to filter out stuff it will just keep propagating. Imagine a government deciding to just reroute traffic to their data center maliciously. Obviously a good chunk of the internet will go WTF and blacklist the route but not before you get a deluge of data.

In the same way it is easy to route around traffic. Congestion in the midwest? No problem. Send the traffic down to Texas. All this is built on network admins trusting each other for the most part.
I'm not a lawyer, but AFAIU the defense has an affirmative burden to prove impropriety. Simply casting doubt isn't enough. They're unlikely to ever get this evidence suppressed on 4th Amendment grounds, so at best it's a tactical maneuver for negotiating a plea deal.

In fact, it's probably not even enough if they prove something as shocking as the NSA helping them. The NSA could always say that they stumbled upon Silk Road in the course of their anti-terrorism operations. And then instructed the FBI to hide the origins of the tip. We know for a fact that this happens regularly, and AFAIK nobody has ever been punished.

A court could technically toss the evidence as a way to punish the government for not playing fair, even if the law doesn't require it to be suppressed. That provides leverage for bargaining with the government. But evidence as central as this, in such a high-profile case where the defendant was clearly guilty, means that's unlikely. It's more likely for a smaller case where a court wants to rap the government on the knuckles without letting a really bad guy (from their perspective) go free.

Thats great. Can you share what tech stack you used to build these? I am curious because they don't look like a one man effort. If you have built all of it on your own, can you share how long did it take ?
You've seen rapid progress at 2.4gh and 5ghz because the FCC keeps power limits really low. If I were allowed to blast my signal all over my town, we'd all be interfering with each other left and right.
There's a huge difference between any nuclear power plant and the Hanford Site, which was setup as a wartime production facility. The majority of the river contamination took place in the early years, from 1945 to 1951 when knowledge, technology, and experience was extremely limited at the time compared to today. At the time, they sacrificed environmental concerns for expediency because they had a war to win. Even if they knew exactly what would happen in the years and decades afterwards, I'm fairly certain that the same decision would be made. We're stuck with the cleanup, but there's nothing about the situation that would suggest the possibility of a repeat.
His words speak for themselves. His profile announced his role and place of work.

So, for me, as a person who's got a couple layers of outsider-ness from the typical tech workforce, I would be extremely uncomfortable working with this person. This is a person who made clear they supported public forums being open for bigots to say what they like.

So they can be educated.

Dang. That's awful. It suggests a terrifying lack of empathy. It's something I would want to know about. And certainly not something I'd want in a colleague.

Freedom to speak is not freedom from accountability.
Well I imagine it would only be a portion of traffic. I wouldn't think a router in the UK would capture any US to US traffic through this method, for example. Is that what you mean?
Thanks for the feedback! Price-wise, there is almost no way a wooden frame of that size with a framers-grade acrylic could ever get down to that size. Cost of the wood alone is ~$0.30 per linear inch.

For me, I think it's wonderful that you can get a great print or poster for $40. That problem has been solved. But you can tell a cheap frame from a quality one every time.
Am i correct to assume, most LTE phones will be new phones, and therefore very likely ( or all ) support IPv6.

So its better to have LTE to be completely based on IPv6 rather then relying on carrier NAT?
Yes, hardware forwarding is ~100x faster than optimized software forwarding.
For the most part, yes. If you advertise a route it will be accepted. Weather or not traffic flows over the link depends on on the BGP path selection algorithm.

It's common for one AS to advertise routes for locations not within their network. It's called transit.
Top tier providers "peer" with each other. They share routes via BPG with their routing "peers". When you know an AS only is authoritative for XYZ, you can ACL them to only be authoritative for XYZ.

I'm framing 16x20" silver gelatin prints that I mounted at 20x24". It's not possible to find a 20x24" frame for $10 anywhere (outside, possibly, of a thrift store).

I spend a huge amount of money on picture frames. When I'm putting together a show, my expenses for frames easily break $1000.

At least in the past, welding manhole covers closed for the presidential motorcade was standard procedure in the US.

Yes. Without going very deep into what exactly happened here, the other NOC is the only network with control over the route announcements and so you get on the phone.
It may be cheaper than similar offerings, but it is still expensive. The thing that jumped out at me from his writeup is the initial problem he was trying to solve - framing a piece of art without paying 10x the price of the art or more. It doesn't _feel_ like he accomplished that, even if he technically did by bringing it down to 3 or 5x.

My inner consumer doesn't want to pay more for a frame than I did for what's going in the frame. It makes me angry. It feels wrong. That's the benchmark I'm evaluating against.

There will definitely be a big difference in desires and perception between the pro/semi-pro and consumer markets. What makes a shitty frame to you anyway (this is an earnest question)? I've never had a wooden frame disappoint me.

Personally I'd rather have the cheapest possible wooden frames that don't fall apart so that I can frame as much of the art I have lying around. To me a frame should be a cheap purchase that gets out of the way of the art it's highlighting.
In a standard situation, a transit network would announce your own routes as well as your customer routes, to your peers, transit or other customers. Peer to Transit, Transit to Transit or Peer to Peer should never be done.

It's called "Parallel construction"...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction

Most likely, the NSA got the information around May, tipped off the FBI and the FBI started working on their "PC" story. Unfortunately, Ross was moving his servers and reconfiguring them during this time, making the PC story a bit more difficult to get.
For those watching the video and looking for his discussion of this - it's near the end, around 1:05:30
So framing is mostly subjective, but there a fair amount of science and best practice can be applied. Based on the size of the artwork, there are some "golden ratios" around how thick the mat and the frame should be. The Best Bet button employs a simple algorithm that will give you the recommended configuration. More room to optimize this, but main goal was to have one button that would get you to something good looking if you are not an experienced framer.
It's shocking that everybody talks about legalizing but nobody talks about that. Thanks!

There might be tons of people with knowledge and experience, but they're not in your typical applicant pool. They tend to already have jobs.
How about we just always have Summer in Athens, and Winter in say, Vancouver. There, all good.
Maybe what I need to overcome my cheapness is a new perspective. From my perspective, the frame is utilitarian. It's just there to hold the goods, which are what is mounted. I don't want it to look shitty, any more than I want my door knob to look shitty, but it amounts to basically the same thing. It feels "off" to pay more or as much for a frame as I do for what goes in it.

And, yet, unlike a doorknob, sometimes you want a frame to have a custom size.
Google fiber could kill traditional telco and traditional sip, if the speed and stability rivals that of a sip network, then google could become a utility I'd imagine, as I believe the ability to reliably deliver "tone" and provide access to emergency services are the only things lacking in voip today. The telcos shouldn't just be scared of the application layer, they should be scared of what the application layer has begun to do in the physical.

Traditional telco will die within the next 6 years if they don't innovate, I'd bet my bottom dollar on it. I believe this move from Ericsson is the beginings of them pulling the telco industry forward - knowing fine well how reliant they are on it. If this isn't part of a bigger picture play, then teclo as we know it and their vendors (all of you) are done.

Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet
While I strongly disagree with limiting expressiveness, operators, etc., and the thing about top-level functions is misleading (because a nested, private, module isn't really "top level), this is a fantastic response and helps me understand Rust a lot better. Thank you very much.

I hope things will change (esp. type inference, which while playing around is really annoying, even if I eventually end up wanting to annotate. A REPL could fix a lot of the pain.). But there's nothing out there that competes with Rust, and the C-friendliness means I can fairly easily interop with languages with more expressiveness ;).

As far as async/option, I meant something like Haskell's do notation or F#'s workflows. This allows implementation of async code without callback hell or the huge limitations of promises or whatnot. (But without HKTs, you can't mix multiple monad types within one block.)

Would IPv6 help reducing the impact or even completely avoid this type of incident?

iirc IPv4's "bloated" routing tables are getting harder to maintain.
I added some clarification, but that's the general idea. The routers update their routing tables based on the advertisements they get from/through peers networks (as I understand it).

From the perspective of a router trying to route packets, you basically make choices based on what your peer networks are advertising that they can (directly or indirectly -- e.g. route through) service.

[Disclaimer: This is all stuff that I "know" but I've never worked directly with BGP so I'm open to correction.]

Bolt - San Francisco - https://bolt.co - https://angel.co/bolt - jobs@bolt.co

We need generalists to help us build a full-on replacement for carrier voice and SMS.
We’re a 3-person startup founded by two former Twilio engineers building the next generation of communications services. We aim to deliver a software service that will motivate consumers to switch (port) their phone numbers from the old stodgy telephone networks to us.

There’s a ton of work required behind the scenes to make that happen, which is why we need your help.

Here are some of our current projects that need an owner:

* Hermes, our XMPP server written in Go (golang)
* Android messaging frontend
* Server orchestration/monitoring backend (hopefully based on etcd)

Send a quick intro email to jobs@bolt.co or to me directly (emails in profile) if you’re interested.
Yep. Which also means second-class BGP citizens (customers of top-tier citizens) are one phone call or CSR away from being able to hijack routes.
IANAL, but I'll be pretty surprised if a Canadian citizen gets arrested in South Korea for having made a porn video in Canada. (Unless he/she created a porn site with the explicit purpose of (illegally) selling porn to Korea. Also, assuming he/she is not also a citizen of South Korea.)

About marijuana, yes. Korea is still ass-tight about drug laws. (But again, I'll be really surprised if, say, a US citizen is arrested upon visiting Korea for having smoked marijuana in Denver.)

Edit: Also, the claim of censorship is real but overblown. It's not like they censor CNN, wikipedia, or whatever website that might contain information that doesn't portray the Korean government in a glowing light. The only time I found some website blocked was some rambling twitter account from NK (or maybe NK sympathizer), and I knew about that twitter account only because the fact that it was blocked became viral news. But then again, I'm not interested in porn, gore videos, warez, or North Korean news, so YMMV.
It should mean, you can't get it wrong, but instead it tends you mean, you are always wrong. Ah well.
Ericsson's code base looks like pure C? Should make it a lot easier to interop with other languages like GO.
> I suspect that splitting the events N ways would result in per-host costs of greater than 1/N times the single-host cost

I suspect the opposite. Many cities and nations have the infrastructure to support a 1/N sized event with little to no investment. If events are hosted by cities that already have the facilities then costs consist of things like borrowing extra buses from nearby cities and paying overtime for police which seem negligible compared to current Olympic costs.

> per-host perceived benefits of less than 1/N times the single-host benefits

This rings true for me and I would add that the total esteem of the Olympic games would diminish. I think that it would be in the interest of host nations to split up the games, but against the interest of the International Olympic Committee.

This is probably the only feature that gives hybrid apps an actual upper-hand vs their native counterparts.

So now I could instantly push an update to my apps by hot-swapping the js code, while a native version would be stuck in a a multi-day approval process.

I can imaging there are some scenarios where getting a feature to market before a competitor would make this feature really valuable.

One question, it specifically mentions using the WebKit framework, does that mean that this is not allowed under the old UIWebView class?

I know there is a tiered pricing, but I spend 5X on zone-to-zone data transfer over what data needs to leave AWS to my userbase. So, even with the tiered model, I still pay a lot just to get data around my app becuase I constantly have to swap boxes between zones.
I wasn't suggesting the case where someone explicitly does all the work and opens a PR which implements a feature of the pro version. I was moreso considering someone who had implemented something that was on the roadmap for the pro version. In either case, it's reasonable to say you would reject PRs.

I'm just wondering how governance of the project works. I assume you're already dealing with the same sort of thing with Sidekiq. I just find this sort of business model interesting since the more common approach seems to be providing hosting or priority support.
It may be cheaper than similar offerings,
but it is still expensive.

Fair point. I'm framing hand-made photographs (i.e. made in a wet darkroom) with a retail cost measured in the hundreds of dollars, not posters or prints purchased from art.com. It's totally reasonable that you wouldn't want to pay more for the frame than what's in it.

They then engaged in acts of "parallel construction" to contrive lawful means that they discovered his identity using the foreknowledge of who he was via unlawful means.

Yeah, the comments are an extra layer added by GitHub, and not stored in the repo itself.

You're right that it would be possible to also decentralize the comments, but that's not how GitHub does it, they just store those on their own, and there's no part of Git that is explicitly built for storing code review comments, you would need to add something on top using the "note" system or something similar.

How is this similar to pet microchip implants? If there were a way to robustly put a QR code on my pet instead of using a microchip, I would - you'd be able to identify easily that the pet is tagged, and the readout devices would be more widespread.

I also don't see at all how this is better than a QR code on a physical object, other than that it's invisible - which is itself not great, since unless you allow these things to be intrusive and pop up something on your phone when you get too near to one (no thanks), there's no built-in call to action. You'd basically need a sticker on everything supporting this that says, "I support Physical Web!"... in which case you might as well have a QR code.

Very interesting observation. Perhaps the community's reluctance to change (with some of these large open-source projects) is the same kind of dynamic you get within large multi-national corporations where not only are people within those organizations reluctant to make large changes, but once you've reached a certain scale it's just plain difficult to make changes happen.

My hunch is change at web-scale (when you care about community adoption) can only happen when it's done in a thoughtful, incremental fashion.
Of course, this advantage is more than outweighed by having to use JavaScript in the first place.
You really don't want string functions to be unicode. Strings in php are actually byte arrays. If you take that away, you will break far more than you fix. You are basically killing the baby, so substr() works a tiny bit better.

I don't want to have to flag every string as unicode. It is pointless as they already are all unicode, and it is not that bad to know the very small number times where php's binary functions don't work (e.g. substr, regex in certain cases).
