WRT negotiating ease, unions produce mixed results. Polarization + nepotism => potentially worse results.

WRT "fear," the union system of Sweden is underpinned by substantial government subsidies and wealth re-distribution. Comparing American v. Swedish union sentiments without macro context is pointless. For example, healthcare + retirement benefits are generally in play as part of union negotiations in the US.

From The Economist:

"It would be naive to think that [the Swedish model] can simply be copied elsewhere.
Sweden’s citizens are strikingly committed to social cohesion, and willing
to pay for a large state. A revival of America’s union movement would be likely
to lead to growth-destroying rigidities. Equally, it is hard to see Americans
accepting the taxes that would go with government spending of more than 50% of GDP.
Sweden’s remake of the welfare state is most relevant in Europe, where in the
aftermath of the financial crisis many countries are now struggling with
unsustainable public finances, as Sweden did 20 years ago.[1]"

So you want your ISP to MITM-attack your requests? (transparent proxy of your outgoing plaintext HTTP) Outside of unusual local/niche applications, are ISPs even doing this? (with Verizon doing their MITM to add their deplorable X-UIDH head, I suppose this is possible) It would probably be a huge copyright violation for any ISP to cache without some sort of negotiated agreement with the website. If such negotiations did happen, that just moves the anonymity problem from the website to the ISP, ascting as the website's agent.

Local ISP caching in traditional Akamai-style was a DNS trick where your browser makes an explicit reqest to the local cache. You would still make the same requests into the cache no matter the transport.
I think the paraphrase is pretty good itself! Would be interesting to find the origin though.

Larry Leifer from the Stanford Center for Design Research has some good talks and papers around on the more general design process, under the theme "Dancing with Ambiguity" that I quite like. The general theme is the process of going from ideas (or even a problem, before ideas are set) to a product. Coming a bit from a context of hardware/ mechanical design.

Example (1 hour lecture, but really good user-centric design, especially for design teams):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N38_XgoL28k
In that case, you just unexpectedly told a third party about your request, whereas with HTTPS, you only tell the intended party about your request. How does it improve your anonymity to unexpectedly have third parties intercept your request, read it and respond to it?

If you want to choose to use a third party mirror, then you can do so: just explicitly request the mirror, over HTTPS to avoid a MITM attack.

I am surprised that this is even news to people. Fire OS uses Wi-fi to set timezones (which means, by just knowing the BSSIDs, Amazon can pin point your location). Similarly, IP Addresses, if you have tolerance for error, can pretty much help you gauge (coarse) location as well.

There are still many "uncontacted" tribes in the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontacted_peoples). I find the Sentinelese people most fascinating of them all. They violently fight anyone getting near their island. They are probably lucky to be on a place where not many resources can be extracted, so no body bothers them.
Hypothetically that is true, but do any ISPs do these sort of large-scale caching of resources any more?

Also, if the site wants to track you that way, couldn't they (or anyone in the middle of your connection) just send no-cache headers with everything and a well behaved transparent cache will retrieve from origin every time anyway?

In any case, personally I am inclined to trust the operators of the websites I visit more than Comcast, my ISP. I do not want my ISP to do anything to my traffic except to forward it on to the intended recipient.

Taking Over a Remote Apache Spark Cluster
For speedy street routing, the Open Source Routing Machine: http://project-osrm.org/ Like Google's proprietary routing engine, it leverages the scale of local and regional travel (via contraction hierarchies, arterial travel is suited for precomputed cacheing); result: the system can be tuned to give near instantaneous results. OSRM had been led by Dennis Luxen of Mapbox, though he just moved to Apple. The OP (Mapzen's Valhalla) appears to have a similar approach as OSRM. Good libraries for other scenarios exist; e.g., cycling and multimodal planning -- see: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing and OpenTripPlanner https://github.com/opentripplanner/OpenTripPlanner

There's an academic Thesis on the principles of contraction hierarchies that is worth a look if you're in this space. http://algo2.iti.kit.edu/documents/routeplanning/geisberger_... My favorite is actually a Master's thesis that steps through the process of using contraction hierarchies to build a routing engine (MoNav) on OpenStreetMap data. https://code.google.com/p/monav/downloads/detail?name=thesis...

Another factor is that some browsers will automatically retrieve intermediate certificates that aren't supplied by the server. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but it used to be that Firefox would fail on HTTPS connections with a broken chain where IE would succeed.

> If you take a 3500 $ Swedish salary with all the taxes applied, your life level might be equivalent as a 7000 $ salary in US.

That really depends on your lifestyle. I spend a lot of time in both North Western Europe and the states. I find that the cost of housing, car ownership and driving, power, clothing, basic luxuries are far lower in the US. The higher cost is in things like education, health insurance etc. Over a lifetime it might balance out to the same, but as long as you're healthy and working, a $7k income in most of the US will buy you a life style a European with a $3.5k income could barely imagine.

Disclaimer: I'm asian and obtained my Master degree in Germany. I am now working in academia in Germany.

Yes, Graham goes on. With a bunch of what I consider to be odd statements: "There are few Jews left in Germany and most Jews I know would not want to move there. And if you took any great American university and removed the Jews, you'd have some pretty big gaps. So maybe it would be a lost cause trying to create a silicon valley in Germany, because you couldn't establish the level of university you'd need as a seed."

So, basically you need a bunch of Jews in order to create a decent academic landscape? That sounds pretty far-fetched. In turn, I am going to offer some anecdotal evidence as well: the faculty I am working / doing research for is providing an international CS degree (MSc.), taught solely in English. We get a lot of international students, the majority from Asia, with only around 15%-20% of German students each term, but given that we partner with some universities in Canada and the U.S., we also have a share of students from those countries. I have been working here for about 5 years, which equals 10 semesters, i.e. I have witnessed at least 10 different batches of students coming here, and so far, US/Canadian students didn't stand out particularly. There is of course some selection bias at work, in that students studying abroad need a certain financial background, language and social skills etc., but I'd counter Graham's "argument" and say that what the German government tries to do is not to ensure that all universities are of (roughly) equal quality, but that there is a common, minimum baseline as to what to expect from a certain level of education.

Our university is part of an organization that spans several universities, research institutes and for a lack of a better word, "think tanks" that offer both education and research facilities for industry / government partners. Each university has student teams that participate in international competitions in our sub-field of CS and constantly come out among the first three places in those competitions. Again, this is a biased result of course, maybe education is simply quite good w.r.t. that specific field, but I highly doubt it, given personal experience. And yes, I consider my personal experience to be as valuable as Graham's assertions above, who is not personally involved in German academia and is providing some very odd reasons for the perceived success of U.S. universities...

Perhaps not what you're thinking of, but it reminds me of this quote from Kevlin Henney:

"There is an art, craft and science to programming that extends well beyond the program. The act of programming marries the discrete world of computers with the fluid world of human affairs. Programmers mediate between the negotiated and uncertain truths of business and the crisp, uncompromising domain of bits and bytes and higher constructed types."

Well, sport events for instance actually live of that revenue; the streaming of the event is a major part of the reason they actually exist. Apple on the other hand wants devs to code on their platforms and further they want people to buy their stuff. If you are in a room with like minded people watching WWDC (or Google I/O) or ... in my experience there will be some people saying 'oh that's cool, going to try that' which might bring on some 'converts' or at least more open mindedness. What this does is make people, especially thinkers like a lot of people here, angry and saying 'fuck Apple'. Very different from sports events and (most) media events?

"Stealing an idea" is a poorly defined concept. What is one supposed to be stealing exactly? I.e., what is being owned? You can't own a piece of someone's brain (or otherwise privately owned information carrier... which, I repeat, is already OWNED by someone else -- not you), and platonic objects don't exist (or, at least, there is no evidence that they do, and the phenomenon of information can be explained without them, so... Occam's Razor).

So, it's like saying "square triangle" or "later than 3 but earlier than 1". It's an ill-defined concept and a legal fiction, and applying it in practice costs millions of dollars, people's lives, creativity, and violates people's rights to their ACTUAL, not fictional, property.

Actually there are a few people (like myself, my brother and a bunch of our friends) who are waiting to see what the steam machines will be like. We're still using xbox360, wii, laptops etc to game on. Now looking to upgrade sometime this year... we've been waiting for steam machines... but the specs are way too confusing.

I just about understand nvidia cards and the numbering system, but how they interact with i5/i7 and different memory?

(cue 1,000 geeks who will try and educate me)

I just want to buy a box that is better than XBoxOne at the same price. At this rate I think a used XBoxOne off ebay is a better option. Let steam machines bake for a year or so.

The worst thing that can happen for steam machines is when 99 people buy the budget version and 1 person buys the dream machine, the 99 people see the dream machine beat their budget machines and now you've got 99 disappointed customers and 1 happy customer.

This doesn't happen with playstation, wiiU or xbox. Steam machines are going to fail and I'm pretty gutted about that.

Headline is a bit misleading.

By 40 he had already significant experience in the industry, as a menswear buyer for a department store and through his 30s a menswear designer, both employed and freelance. Then he (the creative) and his partner (the business guy) created a startup leading to where he is today.

This isn't too unusual a story in the world of startups (not to minimize the achievement of his or any self-sacrificing startup), and doesn't reflect the title's premise at all.
> So you already have to be in ring 0.

Yes, but the article implies that you can e.g. do bad things in a bootloader and then have the OS run while the exploit stays resident and undetected by the OS.

This definitely has previously undocumented exploit potential if you can force the target to e.g. boot from a malicious USB device.

From a security perspective, this:

"universal if you are root/can insmod/etc."

.. only needs to be true once, and from that point on the hardware no longer belongs to the owner.

So, if you could for example get your secretNSA$hit installed on the Linux box that is used to test hardware at the PC assembly/manufacturing plant, before its sent off to be 'securely configured' by the sysadmin/ops as supposedly fresh equipment.

Lots of ways that can happen, of course its theatrical to consider it, but little in security these days is without drama it seems.

Truly, not being able to trust the microcode in my CPU is a worry, but it always has been. There are no guarantees that there aren't already CPU embeds that are configured to ship data to some quantum-bearing government spy satellite, and thus we're all fools for thinking we have any kind of security on this theatrical stage at all ..
> so the packets can be prioritized depending on the content

No they can't because HTTP/2 frames are unreadable (they're encrypted). An ISP can prioritize whole streams, but not individual frames inside the stream.
This HAS to happen otherwise Steam Machines are useless. Sure, in a few years Steam Machine Two will come out, then games can target that if they want.

There's your problem right there. "No true gamer" would ever take Alienware seriously as there is a massive brand markup. You are paying for the logo on the box. The stuff in the box is obsolete when it hits the shelves. Look at practically any other brand if you want to see competent pricing.

Alienware are good business machines (as they do have unmatched post-sales support). They aren't gaming machines, not even at a basic competency level.

Intel CPUs support Ring0-3. But...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_ring

Multics supported 8+ rings, OpenVMS 3 rings, OS/2 3 rings, Windows NT and Unix only 2 rings. Some hypervisor like XEN use afaik ring 1 (Intel VT-x "Vanderpool").

We need better ring support in modern operating systems and hypervisors (VM hosts).

"The x86-processors have four different modes divided into four different rings. Programs that run in Ring 0 can do anything with the system, and code that runs in Ring 3 should be able to fail at any time without impact to the rest of the computer system. Ring 1 and Ring 2 are rarely used, but could be configured with different levels of access."
Much of the behaviour of the US towards other nations can easily be considered the actions of a rogue state. I can't see how one could deny this when looking at the facts.

Product Ninja – A Smart Hardware Curation Platform
> Binary HTTP/2 headers can be parsed a lot faster than plain text

Any advantage in parsing speed that binary has is going to be so small that it won't matter. On modern out-of-order, speculatively executing hardware, wasted CPU times usually mis-predicted branches and waiting for data to be loaded into the L1 cache. The handful of extra instructions to convert an integer from ASCII to a register-sized-int is minimal, and can be "free" if it fits in the L1 cache.

> (HTTP0.x/1.x)

There's you're problem - HTTP/1.x was not designed to be fast; it was designed to allow simple implementations (most headers can be ignored) and arbitrary ad-hoc extensions. It is entirely possible to make a replacement for HTTP that is much faster to parse than HTTP/1.1. A protocol being "text base" is orthogonal to that protocol allowing annoying-to-parse arbitrary size fields. A binary protocol can be just as slow to parse if it is badly designed.
