As stated by another person, yeah I'd want it to not overlap with the existing ICANN TLDs. Not too hard to do, and we could fix one of the bigger annoyances of DNS and correct the ordering: bsnes.byuu.org -> #newtld.byuu.bsnes, for example could work, or even just #byuu -> #byuu.bsnes and only have a sole TLD for it.

I don't know how we stop squatters, maybe a one-time registration fee would be reasonable, but that would be discriminatory as $100 would be trivial for developers in the US, and impossible for service workers in Mozambique that just want a personal website.

It's not as though .com/.net/.org (and heck, even a lot of the new gTLDs) aren't absolutely filled to the brim with squatters already.
This is bad ergonomics because to use it the developer has to install Docker which is a monster made by commercial company and run with root privileges. It's privileges are enough to gather "telemetry" including you browser cookies and history, install and uninstall software or delete all files on your hard drive. Why would anyone want to run such dangerous daemon I don't understand.

Also on Windows and Mac Docker user virtual machines with worse performance.

It is OK to install Docker on a throwaway VPS, or in office, but not on your own machine.

Instead of this poor designed technology it is better to use portable programs (which can be downloaded in binary form to avoid compilation) and collection of bash scripts. Then you won't have to install the aforementioned proprietary daemon.
For those in the US, this is what's known as a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter).

These are containers, why on earth would you assume an app needs to run on a privileged port? You just run the app in the container on say 8080 or 8443 inside the container and expose it outside the container as 80 or 443 respectively.

One of the worst things we could have would be an efficient government.

Delay is a feature of government, with a special carve out for emergencies.

People tend to think of and idealize best case scenarios rather than likely scenarios. The likely scenario is China. Mass mobilization and change in policy from one day to the next.
I know of him because of http://code.google.com/p/google-diff-match-patch/ which is best in its class by a longshot. And it's a very awesome class of a library: a powerful text diff tool with implementations in multiple languages. Haven't read TFA yet but I'm expecting I'll be even more impressed by him when I get done reading it.

Edit: read the article. What an amazing contribution to justice! I'm especially glad to hear of Google matching some legal funds. By the way, he's likely to get the bail money back.
$155,000, according to the linked story. Fraser paid $50,000, which he'll get back when the kid makes his court dates. The alternative was paying 10% and not getting it back, which I didn't know was standard policy. (Most of what I know about bail bonds comes from Jackie Brown.)
It's probably worthwhile to have some familiarity with how the arrest/jail/lawyer process works beforehand. While for most people it is a low-frequency event, it's not good to learn about the process for the first time while in jail!

“For my friends anything, for my enemies, the Law”
that's actually a good point. I often visit Chinese websites and I notice that many either copies the design of whatever service they were inspired by (i.e Youku v.s Youtube) or stick to a very simple tons of links with white background style.

Although Chinese characters are significantly more complex when compared to the 26 letters in English, thus web designers had to take different considerations for readability.

Great post until the end, when it was mentioned that everyone should be treated as an ace. I don't agree, because quite simply, not everyone is an ace.
Perhaps they're just not very good lawyers? We programmers wonder all the time how people can store passwords in the database as plain text. The answer is obvious: they're not very good at computer programming. It stands to reason that for every bad programmer there is also a bad lawyer, and they make mistakes.
A big question to answer is if you're social or standalone. That is do you need critical mass to be truly useful or if one person uses it, does that one person still get 99% of the benefit.
hey, i just want to be clear. i wasn't writing that post to you. I've been to demo days from a bunch of accelerators, so i'm drawing on datasets beyond just YC and YC Dday...but in your case, i'm not suggesting that you tell people to quit, but i do think there should be a group who are told "you're not there yet, you shouldn't try to raise capital now" or something like that. Let them work through and get to a point where they are confident in their businesses before they raise, etc...
I find it strange that is for sure.
"He is..."
He’s bringing a lot of stuff together here. Firstly the obvious contradiction in the public forum / private platform treatment of RDT, secondly the utility doctrine for natural monopolies, and thirdly the relationship between equal access law and antitrust.

I’d like to come out on the side against regulation, but, frankly, the regulation is already stacked against open platforms. As soon as anything illegal (and now increasingly only objectionable) is found on a tiny platform, it is easily shut down by threatening their payment processor, while the big platforms harbor illegal activity hundreds of times as large as elsewhere, and avoid liability by asserting best effort. Imagine if ‘Big Social’ disappeared forever the day after a broadcasting a live murder. Yes, this actually happened several times with absolutely no repercussions, while ‘other bbs’ was famously and immediately shut down after some guy wrote a post about what he did.

It seems to me that Jack sees the writing on the wall, and knows that this can’t last, but everybody in government will do everything they can to prevent decentralization. Regulation and protection as a utility may emerge as a preferable alternative to getting wiped out.
Telegrams stupidity was marketing itself as secure. If it never had, then all arguments and sour intent towards it would be hugely misplaced.

As it stands, it’s not E2E by default and it’s E2E scheme is homegrown- which is usually not recommended (though IMO was not a dealbreaker), the big issue there was that there were flaws in the original design of the encryption scheme which makes it harder to look passed the fact it’s homegrown.

Telegram can intercept most messages on the platform, however, ultimately I trust them more than Facebook; so I’m less concerned.

Additionally, since Facebook controls _both_ ends of whatsapp _and_ does not support third party programs, then even though WhatsApp is E2E there’s little preventing Facebook from pushing an update to your phone which backs up all your chats to their cloud.
I don't mean to sound pessimistic but "Security in theory" isn't really secure, is it?

I still have way more trust for Signal than I have for say Messenger or Telegram, but I've been burned too many times to take these things at face value.
> No you don't - no-one's forcing you to use it.

I was phrasing that unclear, I meant that you have to trust Intel if you use Mobilecoin.

Why wouldn't you be able to exercise that choice?
Canada has some of the strictest environmental protection policies in the world. I'd rather see mines open up in Canada than countries with terrible environmental practices and long histories of human rights abuses. Obviously not talking about Greenland here, but let's put it this way: If all of the responsible and ethical countries refuse to extract resources at all anymore, where are resources going to come from?

It's not like demand for metals and oil just goes away because we refuse to dig them up.

Edit - also seriously, you live in one of the safest, most progressive countries in the world and you dismiss it as a collection of mining companies? If that's all Canada was it would be strip mined to bedrock and everyone would live in labour camps. Have some perspective.
why does mars need independence? Why can't mars trade for goods and services, the same way countries trade today?

After all, it used to be that ocean voyages took ages. So space travel is the new ocean voyages. And planets, the new country!
Manufacturing is already leaving china in droves, which is awesome. I only buy Apple devices and they have been putting a lot of effort into getting out. I hope everyone else follows suit. China is a dangerous, insane dictatorship that is a threat to humanity.

But I thought moving from the walled garden owned by Facebook to another walled garden owned by a Non Profit Organisation whose main maintainer controls the entirety of the platform and discourages any forks/federation would solve all our problems. Surely they would never dare to push shady shit in their application since they are the good guys™.

I am shocked.
Here is one good overview:

http://www.cs.nyu.edu/~mohri/pub/bandit.pdf

"[...] ε -greedy is probably the simplest and the most widely used strategy to solve the bandit problem and was first described by Watkins [24]. The ε-greedy strategy consists of choosing a random lever with ε-frequency, and otherwise choosing the lever with the highest estimated mean, the estimation being based on the rewards observed thus far. ε must be in the open interval (0, 1) and its choice is left to the user. Methods that imply a binary distinction between exploitation (the greedy choice) and exploration (uniform probability over a set of levers) are known as semi-uniform methods."

XHTML lost, we decided that we preferred tag-soup, and keeping our past documents readable. Besides that, most XHTML came with a HTML mimetype, which meant it wasn't being read as XHTML. So the best bits, lighter parses, and XML embedding, were never usable.

Does anybody have a good, comprehensive guide to Keycloak? I looked at it a while back and it seemed like a giant web UI with a million poorly documented knobs, but I keep seeing people who claim to be using it. I've used Auth0, Okta, Dex, and ORY and none of them seemed quite as incomprehensible
> especially from those who don’t believe that their identities are “real.”

This article (or maybe its participants) seem pretty defensive over this point, and maybe with good reason; given the slew of labels and terminology in this article:

> heteromantic

> asexual spectrum

> gray asexual or demisexual

> aromantic spectrum

where does this come from? All self-diagnosed identity? It seems to mirror clinical language at least.

In some cases it seems different phrases are invented to describe the same (or similar) thing, just for the sake of it. Or maybe to give the perception of development?

There's even a diagram: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/asexual-spectrum_n_3428710

Yet it's apparently sourced from "AVENwiki", the "Asexual Visibility and Education Network" - it has "Education" right in the name! Yet it's very light on where the objectivity might come from.

To be clear, I have no problem with people self-identifying/diagnosing and coming up new words to describe their experience. What I have a problem with is feigning scientific authority by using clinical-sounding words, and being insulted if people question your ideas (despite their subjective nature) - there are flat earth "networks" too, that doesn't mean they are right.
This is a great idea...unfortunately a company that skips on Django security patches and bug fixes will very likely be doing the same for everything else (frontend libraries, servers, etc). But there's not much you can do when you're stuck on a feature-factory treadmill, and this looks like a cost-effective way to ameliorate the problem.
Luckily for me Gitea has been working without any problems for some time now.
And I would rather fix those issues than switch to bare repos.
I remember being quite interested in zodb for app development in python since it alleviates the need for an orm... it is a bit like a document store, right?
I am in the process of dismissing my private personal gitlab instance, and It's unlikely that I'll install something else. I plan using private repositories on the public gitlab.com.

The thing is, the killer feature for me is gitlab-ci (and private repositories). Using gitlab-ci along with my own runners (tied to a private group) along with git-crypt I should be able to do most things that I do in my small gitlab instance.

The thing is, alternatives are maybe lighter, but they don't pack as many features as gitlab and lack some kind of integrated-everywhere CI.

Leaving git, I'm not even considering that.
I don't know, but the collateral damage is that if you're late to comment under a popular video (even if it's 24h after release) an otherwise valuable comment will not get upvotes and visibility. There's a huge rich-getting-richer bias.

Maybe that was the plan: creators could be more inclined to moderate comments shortly after the upload, and trolls will not try to get their fix if they know nobody will see their comments.
Why is it still simple for other manufacturers, even with added security measures?
When people (especially children) can't abide by social norms they are shut down. Maybe that is a time out in the corner. Maybe it is being asked to leave the party. Reddit, Twitter, etc are no different. You go to their house, you abide by their rules. If you don't, hard to be suprised when they show you the door.
> I don't know how many people need to storm the capitol under the instructions of the loser of a recent election

Not OP, but I will stop thinking people are hysterical if they can provide a single shred of evidence that the people who stormed congress were "under the instructions of [Trump]". A tweet, a video, anything that proves the storming of congress was a pre-meditated move by Trump to stop the electoral count.

Saying "oh, well Trump didn't come out and say it, but he chose dog-whistle terms that activated his sleeper agents" isn't going to cut it.

Also the part that is rich is the implication that a rag tag handful of protestors have the ability to overthrow the government just because they broke into a building for a few hours.
Those are at worst unsubstantiated, and contain truth like how Russia interfered in the election and Trump's campaign accepted their help. Totally different than something like "the election was rigged", which was tested and failed in court, but still gets shouted from the rooftops, leading to dangerous outcomes like what we saw in DC.
Just evidence that some police officers should go to prison for this.
It's happening on pretty much all sides simultaneously. Most people believe that escalation is a means to an end. It's not, resolution is made through mutual understanding and not vilification.

I'm not preaching tolerance here, but the more you understand your opponent the more you approach the inevitable conclusion: people are creatures of convenience, rarely going out of their own way for the sake of concepts like good or evil. If you want to change the way people act, the only way to really do it is to change what is convenient for them. Or to take certain conveniences away.
Not siding which way on the terrorism debate, but have to comment on the:

> the images I've seen don't seem to demonstrate much violence and very little intimidation on the part of the insurrectionists

And say you must not have watched any of the videos then.

Here's one example: https://apple.news/AZER7Cgj_RceFCKp74T_oDw

List,
etc...,
)

would seem more sensible to me. I know you can make isort do that, I guess maybe not black.
I'm personally of the opinion that if a private social platform bills itself as a digital town square and has ambitions of becoming a monopoly (or a part of an oligopoly), then it should be treated exactly as if it was state-owned.

If 20% of your potential audience can be taken away by the flip of a switch (or worse, an automated algorithm with no real oversight), then it really doesn't matter who's doing the taking away. The harm is the same.
Can't agree more.

When a new language is created, its feature set is a product of the times it is created in. i.e. what features are considered useful, popular, best practice etc.
Of course times change and with it what this set of desirable features is. Languages evolve by adding support for some of these new features.
But adding these new features whilst preserving the old becomes increasingly difficult and the new features tend to be somewhat hobbled and don't fit that well with the older features.
For the first 10 years or so this tends to be ok but when languages get to the 10 - 20 year mark they start looking increasingly like frankensteins monster - a mixture of parts from different places / eras, none of which work terribly well and which don't fit that well with others.
At some point IMO it's worth jumping to a new language despite the smaller community and package availability. But it's often only when you do try it for a while when you realise how much better the dev experience is compared to the frankenstein languages which have on paper adopted similar features.
To me this is where Java, JavaScript, Python etc are now. On paper they can claim many of the features now that Dart has but the experience using them is not that of using those features in Dart. ﻿

I can't imagine there are many decent developers who if they really give dart a proper go, wouldn't much prefer to work with it than JavaScript.
I use this alias:

alias http="plackup -MPlack::App::Directory -e 'Plack::App::Directory->new({ root => \$ENV{PWD} })->to_app;'"

Which starts a webserver that serves the current directory over HTTP. You can even pass args like --port 8080 to set the port.

(I most recently used this to git clone some library I wrote while at work. They recently blocked github, so I ssh'd to my home machine from my phone, cd ~/projects, http, and then did "git clone http://snowball2.jrock.us:5000/whatever/.git whatever". Not quite as convenient as github, but better than being stuck with the buggy version at work :)
In China, after paying for the cost of the iphone as downpayment (so around 700$), it costs 10$/month to get 15 hours call and 1.2 Gb/month data plan... That's under a unicom plan.

Compare this to France for example where the plans easily exceeds 40 euros for "unlimited" data plan where you're not allowed to download more than 500Mb...
That's exactly what they are. However, they're an inferior phone. And so my post is a counterpoint to the article's claim that smartphones will extinguish dumb phones. Because people still want to have a phone that does phone things.
Oh my, "DSMOS has arrived" line (and subsequent freeze) is gonna haunt me for years.
The question I have is how many Open Source projects use static analysis tools as part of their development process?

Given that the code is publicly available it seems likely that bad actors would be using such tools (both proprietary and open) to find exploits for each release.

I remember Eric Raymond blogging about using Coverity to analyze gpsd but beyond that I don't recall any wider discussion about the issue.
Indeed. I would like to add that the initial response was most likely automated (looks kinda generic). Kinda makes me want to send a dummy email and see if I get a similar response as fast.

But in all fairness, 7 days is still acceptable. It's far from "best ever", but compared to others it's still great.

As someone genuinely curious (and without a lot of international experience), I was wondering what countries are out there that you feel are better at not over-litigating on those things.

Quoth Musk:

" So the cars in the fleet essentially becoming self-driving via software update, I think, might end up being the biggest increase in asset value of any asset class in history"

This sentence is packed so tightly with irony that I can't believe it was uttered by a self-aware human. Yes, it's a great idea that two ton vehicles capable of 100mph just "update" themselves to be fully self-driving. Because what could go wrong? Forget about terminators, just the strategic risk in the event of a cyberwar. Astonishing lack of awareness. And he complains that AI is "summoning the demon"?

And yes, they are just "an asset class" whose value needs to be increased because STONKS. I can't even.
Without punishment and regulatory framework, all forms of anarchism whether its confined to human morals and beyond, are doomed for failure.

Without rules, without a centralized arbitrator of consequences for breaking rules including the arbitrator, the bad part of human nature will prevail and destroy stability in the long run.

Ultimately, every country will kill you for something.

Whether it's officially the "Death Penalty" is semantics.
I agree, but I think there is a middle ground, which is to use the strengths of multiple languages in the same app. And interestingly, one of the examples you gave is an app that I wrote (MacTelnet), which doesn't just use Python; it also calls C++ and Objective-C. :)

While C was the first language used, I added the others to gain their strengths, which include maintainability and access to powerful libraries.
What he classifies as "lying qualifiers" seem to me often just used to soften what follows the "but", and has become the standard: we are so much used to this that the impression it would make without these "softeners" would be of a rude remark.

Although the message we want to convey, plainly and in all honesty, is "I think X", the standard approach is that we want to avoid giving this impression and say "I don't want to be rude, but I think X", whose effect on the other person is "I think X".
> I don't think people write stuff down b/c it's super obvious to them...

Sure they do, if it's a thought in a chain of thoughts leading to something. People make mind maps all the time full of obvious ideas because it helps the find the non obvious ones. Hell people write down obvious stuff just to organize their thoughts.

Also, I do recall him stating that he hadn't considered publishing some stuff because he didn't realize it was original until someone else got credit for publishing it. I wish I had a reference, but I don't, I've read a ton of his stuff and couldn't pinpoint where I read it if I had to.
The main problem (with real time) here is that you can't move the stick too fast or Kinect will lose the tracking.
