They could make this opt-in or opt-out

Even if you could solve aging, you could never solve death. Probability and entropy will catch up with you eventually.

I think that most people over a certain age are quite aware of their own mortality, and are looking to bring meaning to the time that they have.

> Use a search engine that suppresses spammy sites and lets you customise what you want it to surface.

Can you give an example of such a search engine? Which one(s) do you use and why?

It depends a lot on the car and the engine.

If you want a high-performance engine that meets modern emissions requirements, you're probably going to be looking at EFI and turbochargers. Changing the fuel injection maps on a modern car requires something akin to rooting/flashing an Android.

That wouldn't test the software, assuming cheating wasn't an issue

Correct, but in this case, it sounds like you didn't need to use the ISP router as your VPN gateway.

If I understand the DNS rebinding attack reference correctly, you could be running the VPN software on your desktop/laptop and still have your IP revealed by your ISP router.

Given HTTP pipelining and fetch() promise semantics, I'm not sure there's a practical benefit to pushing results instead of "blocking" the original request.

Are we about to come full circle to Mt Gox?

What is the advantage of dbus over Unix sockets?

I agree with another commenter. This seems targeted at people who are borrowing someone's account without their knowledge or consent.

> On Wednesday Melvin said it had exited its bet against GameStop and repositioned its portfolio. The firm moved to reduce risk in its investments following a turbulent start to January when it lost 30 percent in the first three weeks. Melvin’s leverage ratio is at the lowest it has been since the firm’s founding in 2014, said a source familiar with the firm. The news of Melvin’s January performance was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Which begs the questions: who are the remaining short-sellers and what do their positions look like? Are they other hedge funds with soon-to-expire positions or are they retail investors betting that GME will be back down to $100 or less by next month?

> There are 100 shares. A owns 90 of them, B owns 10. A lends her 90 shares to C, who shorts them all to D. Now A owns 90 shares, B owns 10 and D owns 90—there are 100 shares outstanding, but190 shares show up on ownership lists. (The accounts balance because C owes 90 shares to A, giving C, in a sense, negative 90 shares.) Short interest is 90 shares out of 100 outstanding. Now D lends her 90 shares to E, who shorts them all to F. Now A owns 90, B 10, D 90 and F 90, for a total of 280 shares. Short interest is 180 shares out of 100 outstanding. No problem! No big deal! You can just keep re-borrowing the shares. F can lend them to G! It's fine.

IANAL but I believe that some clever lawyers have used this to the advantage of the victims by essentially creating a DOS attack on the company, flooding it with binding arbitration claims.

Peculiar on many levels...

Boeing isn’t a remote company, so it’s not a contradiction.

If you read into most of the arguments for remote-friendly workplaces, step one is cultural changes.

You say that having private keys on servers is bad, and you say that using SSH agent forwarding "is the devil."

How, exactly, do you expect people to do things like use git or pivot from Server A to Server B over SSH?

That implies you are going to be running prod in the cloud. Unless you're developing against purely synthetic data, the data transfer costs are potentially astronomical.

> Argo Tunnel offers an easy way to expose web servers securely to the internet, without opening up firewall ports and configuring ACLs. Argo Tunnel also ensures requests route through Cloudflare before reaching the web server, so you can be sure attack traffic is stopped with Cloudflare’s WAF and Unmetered DDoS mitigation, and authenticated with Access if you’ve enabled those features for your account.

Dropbox is in a relatively specific situation wherein their cloud costs would be extremely high (storage, bandwidth) and their in-house technical skills are probably quite good.

> It's only through politics that we can make sure that the gains from trade are evenly split. The math of markets doesn't define it.

That's clearly not the case since my employer could legally pay me $15/hour for my work, but pays significantly more. They do so, because they are competing with other employers for talent.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the way to avoid an explosion: "don't pull the control rods all the way out"

It would take a very specific kind of war or natural disaster to pull out the control rods from a nuclear reactor, methinks.

I don’t disagree with your goal but I think you ought to elaborate on your arguments.

The electoral college balances geographic diversity against raw popularity. This is just one of many ways the US government gives outsized power to vocal political minorities. Perhaps explain why you don’t like things this way?

As opposed to blindly running the precompiled binary you manually downloaded from the site?

That doesn't really make sense, since this guy already did an interview for VinWiki, describing the run, how he did it, and showing pictures of the car: https://youtu.be/EvQFDtJUdHw?t=207

> That wouldn't stop any traffic collision or ATC function from working but would prevent persistent tracking of for example private jets.

I'm not sure how well that would work w/r/t ATC hand-off and their ability to look up flight plans.

Furthermore, there's the problem of getting the random ID to ATC after the plane has "started up."

Ah, I see. That makes sense, thanks!

I'm not familiar with the existing law covering OBD2/CAN bus, but I'm pretty sure even when the OBD2 port gives you the ability to communicate with all networks (D-CAN, K-CAN, etc...), it's currently up to the community to reverse engineer the commands etc...

As for data that was transmitted "last week" I'd rather my car not transmit data continuously, and if I wanted to monitor it continuously I could just plug in a scanner with an embedded computer. There are already a multitude of such devices for OBD, both that pair with your phone and which run as independent devices.

Reading the text of the proposal, I find it bizarre that the requirement would be for a mobile app versus, say, a serial connection that allows access to the same data that is transmitted OTA.

This is better than nothing, but this approach would seem to open the door to issues such as previous owners still having access to the data, OEMs obfuscating the API to access the data, the apps being geo-locked and possibly requiring paid subscriptions, etc...

Agreed. If the people behind these take-down requests actually ended piracy, they'd be out of a job.
