Japan invaded the Korean peninsula as well as a sizeable portion of China and enacted horribly cruel war crimes against the citizens of those places. I won't get into details, but this comment would be akin to asking "What's the history between the Germans and Jews? Why don't they like each other?". The primary difference being that Germany had a reckoning with the history of what happened during that time, while the Japanese Government has mostly denied that any of its war crimes even happened which never allowed tensions to drop as much as they may have in Europe.
However, Japan has more than its fair share of far-right fruitcakes who deny everything, and in both Korea and China politicians have found Japan to be a convenient whipping boy whenever they need a distraction from domestic problems.
To be fair, they only elected the conservative party, the LDP; the party elected the prime minister. Granted, they've elected the LDP almost continuously since 1955. Of course, they tried electing the other party in 2009, but their leadership kept resigning. Of course, given the LDP's stranglehold on politics, one has to wonder why they feel a need to pander to the nettouyo.
I stopped paying to attention to politics about 5 years ago and am very surprised to learn that the major opposition party (DPJ?) has essentially fractured into multiple, smaller parties, all using a variation of the same name.
At this point, I'm not even sure who to vote for anymore.
The problem is that Japan has a history of doing things like this:
> In October 2006, Prime Minister Shinzō Abe's apology was followed on the same day by a group of 80 Japanese lawmakers' visit to the Yasukuni Shrine which enshrines more than 1,000 convicted war criminals.[57] Two years after the apology, Shinzo Abe also denied that the Imperial Japanese military had forced comfort women into sexual slavery during World War II .
Germany's the exception, not the rule. Most countries's governments like nothing more than to behave as if their past transgressions never happened. And even then Germany has had no shortage of politicians who say "Germany has apologized enough".
The agreement is about "property and claims" between the two states. Of course, individuals can and have sued various Japanese entities, some successfully.
They do like each other. Koreans love Japanese food and many Japanese also like Korean food. They watch TV shows from each other. Many TV shows are often just translated versions from the other country.
It's actually the politicians who want the people to have enmity to each other and some people are vulnerable to the propaganda. The existence of the North Korea regime and their history of kidnapping Japanese people also don't help. Much of their economic strength also overlaps, so there's competition as well.
If you still don't understand, think about close European countries. They probably get along just fine, but Brexit happened..
Oh yeah, I understand. That's why I brought up the last part. Germany did a relatively good job after the war of apologizing for its warcrimes and rooting out the toxic culture that led to them. I was trying to describe the gravity of the crimes that happened during the war with that comparison, less so the modern day feelings.
Historically, Korea was repeatedly invaded by Japan. More recently, Korea was a Japanese colony between 1910 and 1945, during which the Japanese ruled with an iron fist and did their best to destroy Korean identity by forcing people to take Japanese names etc.
The identity-destroying part only came after 1938. They were trying to do 내선일체 [內鮮一體] (not sure how to translate this in English).
Before that, they actually helped Koreans learn Hangul.
I was also very anti-Japan as a I grew up under typical Korean parents.
But after reading the actual history, there were some good parts during the colonization. Although, I'm not denying the horrific parts caused by war. But that's just war. It's horrible to begin with. Not to mention what Koreans did in the Vietnam War to the locals.
I think part of the hostility from either of the countries is caused by only seeing part of the reality.
I guess the word you are looking for is "cultural assimilation". 内鮮一体 is the specific case of Japan and Korea.
The Japanese were fresh out of their own industrial revolution so had plenty of experience to do the same thing in Korea. The legacy of that is that Korean and Japanese societies have a lot in common eg Chaebol and Keiretsu. Following the war Japan sheltered people persecuted by the ROK dictatorship (eg Kim Dae-jung, Lee Byung-chul)
> I think part of the hostility from either of the countries is caused by only seeing part of the reality.
It's tribal. East Asian People are racist against each other and each other's countries, but East Asian Persons get on just fine.
> The identity-destroying part only came after 1938. They were trying to do 내선일체 [內鮮一體] (not sure how to translate this in English). Before that, they actually helped Koreans learn Hangul.
Banning Hangul and erasing Korea's independent cultural identity intentionally traced the pattern of Japan's nearly identical actions a few decades earlier in conquering Ryukyu, including classifying each suppressed language as a "dialect" of Japanese.
As a contrast to Korea, the former Ryukyu Kingdom is now fully subsumed as the Okinawan islands and its original languages, religions, and culture are, in practice, nearly extinct.
Much of it can be blamed on propaganda driven by economic decline and political scapegoating. While Korean music, drama, and movies are popular in Japan, consumers are mostly women. Among small but growing and very vocal population of Japanese men, Korea-bashing books and manga are popular. Later trend is not unrelated to continuing economic decline of Japan. And Japanese politicians are leveraging and fueling that trend to divert the blame.
One small chapter of the history "The Mimizuka ... is a monument in Kyoto, Japan, dedicated to the sliced noses of killed Korean soldiers and civilians as well as Ming Chinese troops taken as war trophies during the Japanese invasions of Korea from 1592 to 1598."
Besides more recent events several hundred years ago Japan also tried to invade Korea under Tokotomo Hideyoshi. Japanese Imperialism has a bit of history to it that makes Koreans uncomfortable given the peninsula has been under constant conquest by its neighbors for at least a thousand years now.
By definition, DDoS is Distributed. From my experience working on a Layer4 DDoS Protection solution, a typical case often range from 1000 to 100k flows.
I'm a Viet, born and raised. My country is blessed with incredible scenery, diverse and natural. The coast line is as long as the country itself ffs. Now I won't claim that I'm an avid traveler, but from my limited traveling experience (only been to Australia, Korea, Japan and Hongkong on vacation, nothing too fancy), I have never been to a place that I would rank higher in terms of beautiful, natural scenery.
However, the one thing that always caught me off guard from the few oversea trips that I've taken is that _everything is so clean over there_. That's literally the first thing that I always noticed when I get there and when I came back. Makes me feel sad, envious, and shameful.
Yes, it's a pity, I traveled to Quan Lan Island in 2010, my wife and I thought it would be unspoiled and off track. But the boat there was full of people throwing litter over board, I even saw a lady pull a diaper of a child and throw it overboard without even thinking. The beaches were littered with colorful plastic. (I have a picture on my Nextcloud but no idea how to share it and my wife is very prominent in so I won't but the picture still make me feel sad. Edit, uploaded but only downloadable for 7 days or 100 times apparently (and cropped my wife out): [0])
I also got the feeling that small bays that were labelled as nice in our perhaps a bit dated travel guide were filled with large hotels between the time since they were labeled as such and when we arrived.
Overall though I found Vietnam very, very beautiful indeed and the people were very kind as well (outside the tourist industry at least).
I guess it's an education thing, as kid I constantly heard in school: Plastic stays around for 2500 years! Birds choke on your chewing gum! The hole in the ozone layer is our fault! TBH I felt pretty burdened, sad and responsible by/for it, but I guess it has its advantages.
This is the first I've heard of this one. It sounds reasonable, but something tells me your school was using this as an excuse to keep kids from sticking their gum all over the place ;)
Western tourist also immediately notice it when they come to SE Asia. It's a pity that this is such a strong memory.
As a Vietnamese local, why do you think the plastic pollution is so widespread here? Sure, everything is packed in plastics, but so is in Japan. Why do people just not think twice about throwing their waste in a ditch or a river or leave their picnic at the beach? Or is most of it coming from the sea? What could change the mentality?
As a child growing up in 1970s USA, I remember the vast amount of trash along our roads, city streets, parks and beaches. It was fairly common to see people throw trash out of their car windows.
What changed? I have never studied this, but I know we implemented large scale clean up projects, passed new laws and made a cultural shift in attitudes.
>>>> My guess is it will take another generation for people there to appreciate how blessed they are to live in such surroundings but by then it will unfortunately be too late.
This in the parent comment is strange. It wasn't too late everywhere else, and it obviously won't be too late in Vietnam either. A clean environment is a luxury you can afford when you're rich. Poor places are dirty, but it's not like they can't be cleaned.
Yes, I was a kid in the 1970s and the anti-littering campaign was pervasive. I was too young to remember/notice the litter itself, but definitely remember the "Crying Indian" commercial, Woodsy Owl[1], and others. You always saw these in the Saturday morning cartoons, in particular.
Yes, I should have included the rise of the environmental movement. And I came very close to including the crying American Indian ad, it was very impactful on me.
I also remember Sweden being like this until early/mid 90s. The only real change AFAIK was peoples' attitudes, as a result of government campaigns.
Hell, in the 60s you could watch wonderfully informational movies as this on the one and only available TV station https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrcrX9Qaw2o. (skip to 1:15 for the recommended practise of waste removal near the ocean).
Same in Germany. I remember piles of trash at almost every Autobahn stop and people burning piles of trash was normal. I think the willingness to keep the country clean is connected to prosperity. Only when the basic needs are met people care about the environment.
- Convenience & economic: one kg of nylon bag costs around 2$, 20~40 times cheaper than biodegradable plastic, and nylon bag are taxed at more than 100%.
- Local market are full of farmers selling their fresh vegetables, poultry or pork. So when I go buy food for my dinner I come back with 3~5 bags, with each ingredients having their own bag. While a visit to supermarket often result in 1 bag for all of those.
- Average Vietnamese simply wasn't taught how precious nature is. Just 30 years ago we were riding on wood gas truck or cars modded to run on kerosene mixed with gasoline. There is a saying "Prosperity brings respect" (roughly translated) in Vietnam, and we are still poor and too busy to make more money.
- We simply don't have the facility for classifying trash and recycling/burning them.
How do you keep your meat and vegetables in a single bag? It's not impossible to reject bags in the local markets - I do that all the time. But on my travels around SEA but specially Vietnam, I feel tired and hopeless. I saw a lady from a toy shop throw a few batteries away to the curb without giving it a thought.
> Why do people just not think twice about throwing their waste in a ditch or a river or leave their picnic at the beach?
I think there are two main reasons. First, many people don't have environmental awareness. They weren't taught. That's not to blame them, but it's just a fact. However the new generations are indeed educated on that subject. We were taught to not litter, to pick up the trash, etc. But this is where the second issue lies: when we don't follow the rules, nothing happens. No immediate consequences. Whereas in other developed countries, when people break the rules, they get fined, they get other people looking at them funny. That collective awareness helps enforce the simple rules.
> However, the one thing that always caught me off guard from the few oversea trips that I've taken is that _everything is so clean over there_. That's literally the first thing that I always noticed when I get there and when I came back. Makes me feel sad, envious, and shameful.
My wife, who is originally from Indonesia, always notices the same thing in The Netherlands. The contrast couldn't be bigger. She also has these feelings of sadness and shame.
Yet even in the Netherlands the cleanliness might be a recent thing. I lived in NL some years ago and remember it as the dog-shit-on-the-pavement capital of Western Europe. Only after I left, people tell me, things got stricter.
Oh gosh. The two eternal hazards of my childhood (that my parents would yell at me about) were dog shit and broken glass. I distinctly remember going to a school playground when I was about 6, and wanted to crawl through a plastic tunnel, but didn't when I saw a huge pile of shit in the middle.
Now, pooper scooper laws took care of the former, but people still get drunk off their ass and leave bottles everywhere.
I'm certain they'll get there in time, as part of the development process. Indonesia has grown its economy ten fold in 20 years, a mind-boggling rate of improvement. Just as with China, as they rise they'll have far greater resources available for many other considerations such as preservation of nature and general beautification (which is obviously often expensive, close to a luxury depending on what stage of development you're at). That switch from scarcity to plentifulness, rapidly changes a lot of things in a society usually.
> resources available for many other considerations such as preservation of nature and general beautification (which is obviously often expensive, close to a luxury depending on what stage of development you're at)
I am not sure this is true, isn't it that potential for damage to the enviroment (beyond only simple trash) increases with the economic power of the nation and therefore preservation would have to track economic progress?
I would think that preservation efforts would have track economic progress, but the effects lag in time and therefore gets noticed too late and costly renaturation efforts need to happen.
How big is social media there? The #trashtag trend is really awesome, and would be good to get going. It's using people's desire for attention to do some clean up.
Social media, mainly facebook, is absolutely huge over here. I have seen a few popular local #trashtag pictures circling around. We generally catch up with internet trends pretty quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if it made national TV. It's awesome but unfortunately I don't think it would help much in the long run.
As an American-born Vietnamese person, I'll provide context for other Western readers:
There is no real US substitute I can think of for experiencing living in Vietnam.
I grew up in NoVA, and would go on month-long summer trips to Vietnam with my family to visit relatives. My asian friends from China, India, and the Philippines would go on similar trips with their families too, so we would share stories and commiserate with each other. We joked with the Korean kids how they had it easy, and would tell the White kids how it's like the opposite of 'vacation'.
Living outside Hanoi with my relatives and seeing day-to-day life in Vietnam made me thankful for my Western lifestyle. I was used to the typical US suburban cushiness, and this was like bootcamp: no A/C, no American toilets (only squat ones), less reliable internet, widely varying food standards (having diarrhea in Florida-like weather is awful), and commonplace dirtiness and pollution (imagine NYC before the EPA but more widespread).
Even for me, there would be moments of culture shock seeing street food vendors selling field rats or shop owners dumping loose garbage into alleys. Things you would be shocked to see happen in the US without immediate reprimand and regulation are "just a part of life" in Vietnam. There is a huge cultural disconnect to hurdle between practices that are acceptable in Vietnam vs. the US.
Finally, there is the topic of education. For those asians who came from rural lifestyles not very long ago, education was not widely accessible or particularly advanced (e.g. college-level subject study), thus, many people did not grow up receiving the same learnings. This is where folk beliefs come in and fill the void (i.e. the "old wives tale" equivalent). It's information based on tertiary cause-effect understanding, or explanation derived from non-scientific study. For example, a handful of my older relatives believe that rains causes lice (as in lice spontaneously generate from rain), therefore, keeping your head dry in the rain prevents lice. This is something that could be easily discredited if there was effort put into convincing them otherwise or letting them discover it's not true.
It's really an incredible shame that ignorance, unawareness, and fallaciousness have lead to such a tragedy of animals and environments being destroyed. Vietnam needs more figures to go out into the public and address ass-backwards thinking like drinking bile or eating horns will cure ailments. It's certainly as dumb or dumber than anti-vax stories. Modern medicine is already a solution to many of these "folk cures", with greater efficacy and less harm, yet it's ignored in favor of some random concoction because that's the "traditional way". It makes as much sense as hanging herbs in my doorway to ward off the flu over getting a flu shot.
While Wiley`s cybersecurity bundle with 14 books had some great books on Security Engineering and cryptography, Packt`s bundle covers a wide array of topics with their books as well as videos. Besides having coverage on key techniques and strategies being used by security professionals it offers greater depth on Penetration Testing with popular tools such as Kali Linux and Metasploit.
So if you are working in IT security domain or looking to venture into it then Packt`s bundle is a great opportunity to get your hands on some really cool titles. With books and videos on core topics associated with cybersecurity as well as leading platforms involved in pentesting and infrastructure security this bundle is a steal!
Maybe I missed something, but the argument that was stated in that talk, "DPDK is not linux," is not very clear to me. How is "not linux" a bad thing?
I'm not saying DPDK is perfect. As an user, here are some of the most annoying things about DPDK:
- 100% CPU, even in down time. There has been works done recently in power management for DPDK but it still is quite limited.
- Debugging is difficult. Valgrind doesn't even work ootb.
- Very limited tool set compared to linux. For example no tcpdump.
- Setting up is cumbersome. Allocating hugepages must be done soon after reboot, NICs must be bound to uio,...
- Ad-hoc Layer 4-7.
That said, some of the packet processing libraries that come with DPDK is awesome. Once you get through the first few hurdles the dev experience is actually quite nice. I think combining DPDK with XDP is very promising.
And also a recent talk on how AF_XDP can be optimised further to get closer to DPDK speed (http://vger.kernel.org/lpc-networking2018.html#session-11) where it concludes "DPDK still faster for 'notouch', but AF XDP on par when data is touched". And latter is what matters.
I think combining the two definitely has huge potential:
- All the Linux tooling can be used again as drivers in kernel are used.
- No 100% busy polling needed, it's definitely not a must for workloads.
- Easy setup as simply kernel drivers are used as is.
- Vendors only have to maintain their kernel drivers, but not DPDK ones, so less cost
- Users can simply switch from one NIC to another without any hassle
- DPDK library for application development can be fully reused.
My question as someone who doesn't know much about DNS beyond the most basic stuff, how would a DNS resolver know a when query is spoofed? You can maintain a query cache to filter out unsolicited (spoof) responses but what would make a query valid or invalid? I'm talking about DNS/UDP btw.
Maybe some sort of challenges? Authentication? Like DNS cookies or something.
At a level that needs OS cooperation to detect, there are packets with invalid ports or invalid sequence numbers for TCP. On top of that, the requests themselves have a 16-bit ID that acts as a random cookie. If we could extend DNS to make the ID bigger that would solve the problem by itself. There have been attempts to use rAnDOm CAsE to make spoofing harder, but it only works on some DNS servers.
For attacks like this, there are thousands to billions of spoofed responses coming in. It's not subtle at all, or very hard to keep track of the domains under fire.
Edit: Oh wait, the queries themselves? That's a very different problem and there's no good solution. Harass more ISPs into implementing filters that drop spoofed IPs from their users.
Daniel J. Bernstein discussed the collision likelihoods with message ID and port numbers years ago, which he later repeated on his WWW site; distinguishing between various forms of attackers according to how much network access they have (for snooping the query traffic). From the design of his TAICLOCK protocol one could tell that such thinking had been a contributory factor. 236 bytes are available for (say) a client-generated random number.
