- Many services, from web hosting and video streaming to cloud storage, need to move data to and from storage. They also often require that each per-client I/O flow be guaranteed a non-zero amount of bandwidth and a bounded latency. An expensive way to provide these guarantees is to over-provision storage resources, keeping each resource underutilized, and thus have plenty of bandwidth available for the few I/O flows dispatched to each medium. Alternatively one can use an I/O controller. Linux provides two mechanisms designed to throttle some I/O streams to allow others to meet their bandwidth and latency requirements. These mechanisms work, but they come at a cost: a loss of as much as 80% of total available I/O bandwidth.

- Open .git directories are a bigger cybersecurity problem than many might imagine, at least according to a Czech security researcher who discovered almost 400,000 web pages with an open .git directory possibly exposing a wide variety of data. From a report: Vladimir Smitka began his .git directory odyssey in July when he began looking at Czech websites to find how many were improperly configured and allow access to their .git folders within the file versions repository. Open .git directories are a particularly dangerous issue, he said, because they can contain a great deal of sensitive information. "Information about the website's structure, and sometimes you can get very sensitive data such as database passwords, API keys, development IDE settings, and so on. However, this data shouldn't be stored in the repository, but in previous scans of various security issues, I have found many developers that do not follow these best practices," Smitka wrote. Smitka queried 230 million websites to discover the 390,000 allowing access to their .git directories. The vast majority of the websites with open directories had a .com TLD with .net, .de, .org and uk comprising most of the others.

\r
- pgmrdlm shares a report from The Verge: Best known for coining\r
- the phrase "net neutrality" and his book The Master Switch:\r
- The Rise and Fall of Information Empires, Wu has a new book\r
- coming out in November called The Curse of Bigness: Antitrust\r
- in the New Gilded Age. In it, he argues compellingly for a\r
- return to aggressive antitrust enforcement in the style of\r
- Teddy Roosevelt, saying that Google, Facebook, Amazon, and\r
- other huge tech companies are a threat to democracy as they\r
- get bigger and bigger. "We live in America, which has a strong\r
- and proud tradition of breaking up companies that are too big\r
- for inefficient reasons," Wu told me on this week's Vergecast.\r
- "We need to reverse this idea that it's not an American\r
- tradition. We've broken up dozens of companies." "I think if\r
- you took a hard look at the acquisition of WhatsApp and\r
- Instagram, the argument that the effects of those acquisitions\r
- have been anticompetitive would be easy to prove for a number\r
- of reasons," says Wu. And breaking up the company wouldn't be\r
- hard, he says. "What would be the harm? You'll have three\r
- competitors. It's not 'Oh my god, if you get rid of WhatsApp\r
- and Instagram, well then the whole world's going to fall\r
- apart.' It would be like 'Okay, now you have some companies\r

does little to solve the fundamental security issues of\r

- reaches a blockchain, the immutability of the blockchain fails\r
- to provide the desired integrity, and the voter may never know\r
- of the alteration." The report goes on to say that\r
- "Blockchains do not provide the anonymity often ascribed to\r
- them." It continues: "In the particular context of elections,\r
- voters need to be authorized as eligible to vote and as not\r
- having cast more than one ballot in the particular election.\r
- Blockchains do not offer means for providing the necessary\r
- authorization. [...] If a blockchain is used, then cast\r
- ballots must be encrypted or otherwise anonymized to prevent\r
- coercion and vote-selling." The New York Times summarizes the\r
- findings: The cautiously worded report calls for conducting\r
- all federal, state and local elections on paper ballots by\r
- 2020. Its other top recommendation would require nationwide\r

Among adults, 93 percent report having Facebook accounts and two-thirds are Snapchat users, according to pollster MMR. Many people who live in northwestern Iceland or visit as outdoor enthusiasts want Hornstrandir's 570 square kilometers (220 square miles), which accounts for 0.6 percent of Iceland's land mass, to be declared a "digital-free zone." The idea hasn't coalesced into a petition or formal campaign, so what it would require or prohibit hasn't been fleshed out.
