You are correct. Due to the nature of how CDNs work the ads don't normally need special treatment. They simply benefit from being 'very popular videos'. Meaning they stay hot in all edge caches because everyone, everywhere i

It's disturbingly creepy to think that stores would even think of doing this Malls and stores have been doing this for years. See e.g. http://retailnext.net . At least in europe a bunch of cities also deploy these trackers

I think you're attacking a very narrow strawman by making it sound like a singularity event is something we'd actively plan or work for. Why do you think "human-like" AI is a requirement for a singularity to occur? Isn&#

Currently the cost of Bitcoin transaction is already at around $50 That's a meaningless soundbite. The figure you cite is a function of the current network difficulty/hash-rate, tx-rate and USD/BTC exchange rate. It's

Actually the first rule of bash programming should be: Don't use bash. If your script is longer than 10 lines then you should probably write it in a less error prone language.

Does HAProxy have a suite of metrics that can serve as benchmarks for all the projects out there that would dare to be less half-assed? The overwhelming metric is "how soon can I use this in my production deployment without worrying

by moe 12y ago
HAProxy is 14 years old, under active development by very competent people, used in thousands of production deployments and many hardware appliances. Pretty much every large site you visit every day has HAProxy in the stack. It's one o

The architecture is sound. But half-assing a loadbalancer impl (vulcand) instead of embedding HAProxy is a terrible idea.

So how do you prevent the inmates from killing each other without separating them physically?

Because it's obvious? Anything to enable social interaction for him would have to happen on top of solitary confinement (or equivalent security) after all...

by moe 12y ago
It's not that difficult to allow some level of social interaction while still preventing violence. I think the question is why society should bother to spend further resources on enabling this for him? And probably far from an insign

Yes I found that after commenting. But that seems to be more of a political principle, not a scientific one. Either way, has it ever been applied in a meaningful way?

Even if we could recruit all the atoms in the known Universe In the past 233 years we have evolved from the first steam machine to the iPhone 5S. I would say we have a pretty good track record at overcoming miniaturization problems.

Anecdotical datapoint: For a great many years I used to consider python a very slow language. Then I switched to Ruby and realized how slow a language can really be and yet still be practical for many use-cases.

You are wrong, again. Passwordless root SSH is perfectly fine, which is why it is enabled by default. By people who have thought a little longer and harder about all this than you. (Sorry for the tone. Maladvice like yours on public forums

You misunderstand. Changing the port does nothing against targeted attacks and it's not about 'hiding' anything. The purpose is to take your host out of the scope of automatic scans which almost exclusively focus on the most

In other words, the inconvenience this brings is not adequate to the infinitesimal increase in security. You are wrong. Please refrain from giving security advice. Changing or filtering the SSH port prevents your host from being compromis

Unfortunately one attempt is enough when there's a pre-auth vulnerability. Your ban-hammer doesn't help you there.

You're missing the point. One attempt is enough when there's a pre-auth exploit.
