I'm certainly not saying there's no issue here - your example perfectly demonstrates a realistic and dangerous use case - I'm merely pointing out that omitting such an important aspect of the vulnerability in the repo readme is disingenuous and materially changes the severity of the issue. To be honest, the omission actually smacks a little of clickbait.

The post is about using numpy or pypy to get better speed in python since in python for is slow. That is well known, is like the well known fact that you should use vectorized operations in R to get better performance. Anyway there is something interesting: The problem of given a point P0 as input, find the the nearest point to P0 among a fixed billion points (all of them on a sphere) can be solved easily and quickly. You should be surprised the code a mathematician could devise to solve this.
It's not Python, you face the same problems with Matlab, unless you vectorize your code to remove loops it's quite unusable for anything but small arrays

This is pure FUD, coming from a seemingly very targeted throwaway account. Thinking that crime in a city is directly correlated with the political party of the mayor of that is naive at best.

Giuliani likes to tout that he turned NYC around, but his direct role in it is far from a settled matter. TL;DR: crime dropped everywhere in the early 90s, not just in NYC. [1]

Plus, how does your fearmongering about the current mayor jive with the fact that he brought in the same police commissioner that Giuliani did back when he took office?

Depends on your goals. If you want to dominate the market and become a monopoly, then you need enough to outspend all your competitors while surviving. Meanwhile if you're starting a lifestyle business, you need only enough to put a roof over your head and get some food.

> I was watching the How to Start a Startup lecture on how to raise money (http://startupclass.samaltman.com/) and was astonished about how many rounds of funding VC's expect to give out after seed funding (A, B, C, D rounds, the letters seem to keep going).

Because if VCs are funding a company, they want the company to be on the former end of the spectrum I just described. Anything tech with network effects demands a clear winner these days, there is such a huge difference between a Facebook and a [insert 2nd place competitor here].

Think of it like an arm's race: the rounds are necessary because others are raising the rounds. Others are raising the rounds to maximize the resources they can throw towards winning the market exclusively. The underlying principle that creates this dynamic are winner-take-all network effects, as mentioned. People are going to open up only 1 app for a particular function, is it going to be yours?

A lot of people talk about bootstrapping and "lean startup" and lifestyle businesses with great praise. And for a particular set of goals, these are excellent strategies. But there's also a sense of looking down on these huge VC-funded mammoth companies trying to dominate the market ("they don't even build elegant tech, they just throw tons of money at the product").

But see this is where the real War of Business is being fought, that's where Ubers and AirBnBs are being created. Either one of those could've stayed a small niche local lifestyle business.

They might have had issues with various gear, tooling, etc. You'd be surprised how many routing vendors screwed up IPv6 subnetting. Hence, why you need to assign a /126 on PtP links for some gear, instead of a /127. Some vendors still thought IPv6 had a broadcast address (it doesn't). Sure that's just an example and doesn't preclude them from offering it, but maybe they're conservative and wanted to get everything working right before releasing it?

Also, some older gear routed/forwarded IPv6 in software; making it much slower.

Our biggest problem had nothing to do with network hardware. It all came down to developers still writing IP regex's wrong for our app. Maybe I should write an e-book "IPv6 for the node/jquery developer?"

tl;dr it's not in Amazon's market interests to delay IPv6 adoption

Padmapper mined data (apartment locations, prices, number of bedrooms, URL to Craigslist post), not creative presentation. Even if we believe that it's somehow morally reasonable for Craigslist to have copyright over the text of user postings, the data Padmapper required was clearly not copyrightable. This was a CFAA case, not a copyright case.

(Yes, in practice Padmapper also displayed descriptions and photos, but they could have avoided doing so, and the service would still have been useful.)

Seems busted now - clicking the "I think I know" button does nothing. I thought the answer was:

Let the first number be x. If x is 0, then the second number is 1. Otherwise, the second number is two times the absolute value of x. The third number is 2 times the value of the second number.
You're absolutely correct. The optimal end result would be that nobody sees the creator's works online. Which could be useful in a "I hope nobody sees my terrible work" sort of way.
Yes, I'd agree with that. That's why I think it's incorrect to claim that Craigslist had to sue, even if there was some legal obligation (which I don't think exists). They clearly wanted to shut Padmapper down. If they didn't want to shut Padmapper down, they would have given them a license and API, and then any legal obligation would have been irrelevant, because Padmapper would be an authorized user.
This is mostly due to the fact that they use models and materials that are easy to render. It's the things like flesh and plants that often stand out, either because their poly count is too low so they don't look like they should, or because the material rendering isn't there yet.

I recall writing REBOOT.COM myself by using EDIT.COM and writing two bytes (0xCD 0x18 by typing Alt-205 Alt-24, if I recall right) and saving it. That executes interrupt 0x18 which should start the BASIC interpreter in the ROM. But most PCs didn't have one, so instead it rebooted. I discovered this by experimentation :-)

No. Ulbricht was charged in multiple jurisdictions for multiple crimes. Force was not involved in the trial in which Ulbricht was convicted, and the murder-for-hire charges were not brought up during the trial.

The murder-for-hire charges were brought up during the sentencing phase (after guilt was adjudicated). Normally, judges generally use the Federal Sentencing Guidelines to determine the length of a federal prison sentence, so that sentences are "normalized" across crimes and defendants. (The Guidelines are no longer mandatory, after the 2005 Booker case.) Judges will also consider evidence calling for a reduced (or extended) sentence than the Guidelines would impose.

In this case, the Guidelines called for life imprisonment. The murder-for-hire charges were introduced at the sentencing hearings to counter evidence provided of Ulbricht's good character. Even if the murder-for-hire charges had not been brought up at sentencing, Ulbricht still faced life in prison. Bringing them up in sentencing merely sealed his fate.

That's mostly not accurate. Every transit provider offers IPv6 transit. It's not any different or more expensive for them. Routes are routes and datagrams are datagrams to them.

The stuff that doesn't support IPv6 is mostly older CPE gear (your old firewall, a bunk load balancer, an oddball console server, etc). You really just need a router that supports IPv6 to offer an IPv6 capable server. Maybe a firewall and loadbalancer if that's in your setup, but those should all support IPv6 already.

Things like your access switches and console servers don't require IPv6 addresses yet. You can leave them on IPv4 for now. Your customers aren't going to be accessing them, only you.

>Force was involved in only a single criminal case (the alleged murder-for-hires), and that case was dropped when Force and another investigator in that case were arrested.

>>In sentencing, prosecutors submitted a number of comments alluding to Ulbricht's alleged but not proven in trial murder for hire plots. The assumed motive for these alleged murder plots was the actual theft of bitcoins which we now learn was perpetrated by government agents and witnesses against Ulbricht.

Foreign residents by definition are not citizens. They don't get to vote in elections of parliementary regimes either. But assuming foreign residents could vote, then anyone can come en masse and just change the outcome of the vote. As for slaves, they weren't citizens either, but either mostly war captives which were taken into slavery rather then executed or citizens which were stripped of their citizenship for various crimes. War captives or people who commited crimes don't get to vote in elections either in parliamentary regimes.
I think this is also somewhat inaccurate, as Ulbricht was charged for the murder-for-hire scheme in the indictment that ultimately convicted him. There is a very popular misconception that he wasn't convicted for the hit-man scheme, but he was; it just wasn't a murder charge.

Fun story about the history of that paper:

We used to think Rust needed a runtime to be safe, so it had one. There was an attribute, #[no_std], which would not link in the runtime, and also get rid of the standard library. As such, the decision was made for std that it should just panic on OOM, because you'd be clearly writing an application, and generally, you don't even seen OOM in that use-case.

Fast forward a few years, and we remove the runtime, and suddenly, it's not impossible to use std to build things like operating systems. So now, people use it this way, and see that it might not be well-suited to that purpose.

So in some ways, the claims put forth by that paper are historical accidents. Which doesn't mean that they're not interesting, or valid, it's just that an additional possibility came up, which challenged a design assumption.

We absolutely do care about the lowest-level case with Rust, and had a number of discussions at the workweek (Mozilla all-hands, full week of meetings) to talk about how to improve the "I'm writing a kernel" case with Rust.
Funnily enough, I notice confirmation bias quite a bit in a D&D game I am currently DM of. I'm playing with a group of friends who are big into video games, and as a result they consistently seek resolutions to conflicts in D&D by way of what they know from shooters: kill everything in sight. Yes, it's at times a valid answer, but it's not the only one and it's certainly not the most interesting one. The best way that I've seen the confirmation bias dissipate from their thinking is to put them into situations where their bias just doesn't help at all.

No, I don't believe it is of much consequence, since the evidence that convicted Ulbricht was not derived from Force's investigation.

Again: Ulbricht used full-disk encryption and nothing else to protect his data (OPSEC lesson: don't do that), and was captured with his laptop unlocked. There was a glittering dragon hoard treasure trove of evidence on that thing. It's practically the case that everything he was charged for, he confessed --- in detail --- to his journal about. His journal! The case was over as soon as they imaged the laptop.
