Update on "RSS is broken"

Update on "RSS is broken" 09/16/2004 01:37 PM

Robert Scoble stirred up plenty of discussion (including in my own blog) when he explained that MSDN's full-text feeds were reduced to excerpts because "RSS is broken". In his post, Scoble states:

"Bandwidth usage was growing faster than MSDN's ability to pay for, or keep up with, the bandwidth. Terrabytes of bandwidth were being used up by RSS."

However, Sara Williams - head of MSDN - posted a clarification in which she says:

"our RSS traffic is neglible compared to all the traffic generated by Windows Update, MSN, downloads, and the rest of microsoft.com. "

In the meantime, full-tex t posts are back. So...perhaps the RSS sky isn't falling after all?

TypeKey still broken

TypeKey still broken 04/16/2005 09:44 PM

I can't tell you how bummed out I am that TypeKey doesn't seem to want to work for me. I've had several folks look at it - oh well.

So I'd like to reach out to Don Park - as the guy I just signed a deal with in Korea is named Park and then there's Troutgirl (who WON'T be my friend on Y 360) and so many other Parks, Kims and Lees. And I won't even get into the Moons.

I heard that the reason why there are so many of these common names - is that as Korea was leaving the fuedal era - these names were the cheapest ones to buy - for theserfs - as they sought out last names.

For many centuries lower caste people were not allowed last names.

So YES - I'll be returning to Korea - YES - I want to meet everyone's friends and hang - and I especially want to meet the OhMyNews folks.

I really dug Korea. The cyber culture is highly evolved in the masses - the whole place is a perculator petrie dish.

No More Broken Links?

Some student interns at IBM have apparently come up with a system for discovering and fixing broken links. While systems that check links and alert you if they've changed have been around for a while (with varying degrees of usefulness), this one also tries to figure out where the existing page moved to or if it can find an equivalent page of information -- and makes the change automatically (sometimes first asking for permission). What might be interesting is if they hooked this system up to the Web Archive. While it looks targeted at intranet usage, it would be great for the rest of the web as well. Imagine that as soon as a page goes down, the system either finds the same version elsewhere on that site, or shifts the link to the Web Archive version.

A "broken" force

A "broken" force 01/05/2005 11:31 AM
At a time when too few are willing or able to speak openly and with candor about the harmful impact of this administration's policies, it is refreshing -- if disturbing -- to hear what Lt. Gen. James R. "Ron" Helmly, chief of the Army Reserve, has to say. The Baltimore Sun reports today on a memo Helmly wrote to senior Army leaders about the health of his command, which "is rapidly degenerating into a 'broken' force," in his view. The draining demands of overseas commitments, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the unwillingness of Army and Pentagon officials to change "dysfunctional" policies are exacerbating the problem, he wrote, and the Reserve is in "grave danger" of being unable to undertake any other missions.

At this years CRYPTO'04, a security conference, it was announced that on variety of popularly used security protocols, security researchers had found collisions. Cryptography Research have published a Q & A on the implications of the collision.

What are the implications of collision attacks for code signing systems?

"Collisions can be a problem for systems that involve signed code. In particular, a collision attack can enable adversaries to construct an innocuous program and a malicious program with the same hash. For example, a trusted compiler/verifier might accept and sign the innocuous program, which could then be substituted for the malicious one."

It's well worth reading to find out all of the implications. Conclusions are that MD5 is down, as is SHA-0; SHA-1 is on the way out. Systems will now need to undertake the mammoth task of upgrading to more secure systems.

Our broken-record president

Our broken-record president 05/12/2004 12:48 PM

It's always seemed as if President Bush had a bizarrely inhuman ability to latch onto a single idea or phrase or message and stick to it regardless of changes in circumstantial reality that discredited the idea. We saw this in action with his tax cuts, which, as Paul Krugman bore witness, began life as a way of disposing of the federal budget surplus and then got repurposed into an antidote to the recession after the economy went south. One policy -- fits all events!

Now Will Saletan of Slate has prepared a remarkable chronological record of presidential quotations that demonstrates this phenomenon at its most damningly, painfully extreme. We've all heard, one time or another, Bush's boilerplate rhetoric about "Saddam's torture chambers and rape rooms." As the other rationales for the Iraq war evaporated, this one, at least, seemed rock-solid: the U.S. invasion had shut down those torture chambers and rape rooms. This sounded great, until we learned to our horror and disgrace that in fact those enterprises had simply undergone a change of ownership.

Go read Saletan's quotes, in which Bush and his men keep parroting the line about torture chambers even as the scandal of American-sponsored torture in Saddam's notorious old prison was grabbing headlines worldwide. No matter -- the old message just kept on trucking.

On April 30 -- two days after CBS had broadcast its photos of Abu Ghraib -- Bush, like some malfunctioning android, was still saying: "And as a result, there are no longer torture chambers or rape rooms or mass graves in Iraq." Again, on May 3, he says essentially the same thing. The images that have much of the globe reeling were apparently unable to dislodge this message-of-the-day formulation from the president's cranium.

In a struggle against a global enemy that demands the utmost of nimble flexibility on our part, we are cursed: our leader has a brain of clay. Once the mold is baked, the mind is set, there's no give.

Broken World Pipeline

Broken World Pipeline 03/13/2003 10:14 AM

I just finished re-reading Soros "Financial Alchemy".  The book was written in 1987 or 1988, ten years before the tech bubble.  And although Soros lost money in the recent bust, he very clearly signaled in this book that the tech industry would be the next (and maybe last) engine of boom and bust to prevent the larger cycle negative trend from accelerating.  Now that the tech bust seems to have hit bottom, and the U.S. economy is showing signs of recovery, it may seem that the worst is over.  Indeed, the financial industry has recently been preoccupied with the "hedge fund bubble", giving us all the comforting feeling that we have moved past the tech bubble and are wobbling back toward equilibrium (because the hedge fund bubble is so much smaller than the tech bubble).

However, taken in the context framed by "Financial Alchemy" more than a decade ago, one could interpet the tech boom as a "last gasp" and futile attempt by the markets to resist the accelerating reversal of the macro trend.  And according to this very recent commentary by Soros, the macro trend is continuing to self-reinforce negatively.  Juxtaposed with the accelerating negative capital flow away from poorer nations, the talk about hedge fund "crisis" seems like a silly vanity designed to lull investors into slumbering pliability.

Time to fix those broken pages

Time to fix those broken pages 05/29/2004 06:11 PM

I have a whole bunch of gripes about Internet Explorer, but my personal favourite is the way it will render a document served with a text/plain Content-Type header if it thinks the file might contain HTML. The direct result of this is that people with misconfigured web servers who are serving their HTML with the wrong Content-Type frequently don't realise, so when users of better behaved browsers such as FireFox visit they get hit in the face with a page of raw source code.

The times they are a-changing. I just spotted this gem in MSDN's article How to Make Your Web Site Work with Windows XP Service Pack 2:

Q: Does your Web site contain files with file types that do not match their Content-Type and/or file extension?

A: You should correct all of these mismatches. Both the Content-Type and the file extension must match the type of the file for a download prompt to appear. Be sure this is true for your Web pages as well. If the Content-Type is plain/text, then they will not render as HTML.

Of course, the rate at which people upgrade to service pack 2 is likely to be pretty poor but at least new machines will have it installed by default. Hopefully sites serving the wrong Content-Type for their HTML documents will be forced to clean up pretty quickly.

The other issue mentioned in that quotation - forcing the file extension to match the Content-Type - is a little odd from a non-Windows OS point of view but I'm sure there's a rational reason behind it. At the end of the day, anything that improves Windows security is a good thing for the health of both the Internet and society in general.
