Good idea. It would be nice to feed these bad requests into the per-IP rate limiter and just count them as being more than one request. Fetch index.html, that counts towards the rate limit as 1 request. Fetch DROP DATABASE users.html, that counts as 1000 requests. If your quota is 120 requests per minute (the arbitrary value I picked for my personal website), you're gone for 8 minutes.

How useful it is to rate limit on known attacks, I don't actually know. I feel like you really only need one request to exploit a 0day, so it probably provides no protection.
Consider that many travelers are using global roaming data rates on their sim card when arriving at their destination. They should be able to just open the app and it 'just works'. Your proposal isn't something a good product manager would even consider as an option for more than a few seconds
I’m generally very skeptical of anything that abstracts away git with UIs. This looks really cool though and I like that you embedded common git workflows into the CLI
Because profits. There is a business model and a lot of profit to be made forcing people to constantly a) pay for new equipment/devices, b) pay for any repairs or upgrades, and c) locking everyone into a single ecosystem.
ERCOT does not produce a single watt hour of electricity. Their sole role is to coordinate the producers to ensure the reliability of the grid. So yes sue ERCOT to bankruptcy. Will not be missed.

Interesting, I always thought that because margin changes the layout it triggers the associated recalculations thus is slower than translate which doesn't
And now that Photoshop/CC have been creeping up in price you have other contenders like Affinity which are decent at much lower price points.
This is said by people in a self congratulatory way, who parrot bad advice as some deep truth, but even the most cursory glance at any long term market data shows with zero doubt that you are dead wrong, not only regarding many markets around the world, but also American markets

Here's the 100 year dow chart: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/stock-market

In July 1929 it peaked around 380. That level would not be reached again in nominal terms until the mid 50s. But there was also a lot of inflation in the 40's, so not only were you losing money, that money was losing value. So you lost in nominal terms and got devastated in real terms over 25 years.

Now let's look at Sep of 65. The dow is at 980. It won't recover that level until 83. Again including the inflation of the 70's. Stocks got destroyed in real terms over that 18 year period.

And many many stock markets around the world have uglier periods than that. Also many forecasters expect the 2020's to have some of the worst equity returns in modern history.

So as I said, unequivocally this is a false idea.
Given that productivity has skyrocketed in the past few decades it should be totally unacceptable to need to accept a 20% pay cut for only working 32 hours.

I'm glad someone has said this. Looking at the West from my corner of the world these days, it feels like all the evil in this world was invented in Europe and propagated throughout the world via imperialism.

I've had heated debates with friends just trying to explain that people are people, and they do mean things to each other. Sometimes. Often, actually.

I don’t know why we need metaphors for situations that are this simple. But, in any case, the „Azure marketplace“, as its name implies, acts as a middleman connecting buyers and sellers. In brick-and-mortar terms, it’s closer to signing a cell phone contract with AT&T at an Apple Store.
...is the only way...

Wait, has this actually worked before? Ever? Do you have examples? For instance, when they denied "radical Islamist groups" access to popular social media, "radical Islamist groups" just started using less popular social media that is harder to keep tabs on. "Radical Islamist groups" certainly haven't disappeared...
> Everyone at Gumroad is paid very well and should be able to afford the same.

I wrote a long and very emotional response to this. In the end I decided to simply say that, if I worked at Gumroad instead of at an employer who pays me about 10% less but pays even just part of the premium on mediocre health insurance, the events of the last six months would have killed my partner, bankrupted me, and left me widowed and homeless in the middle of a pandemic.

At best, I'd be six figures in medical debt.

At worst, I'd be seven figures in medical debt.

You all can go without insurance? Great. That's great _for you_. Congrats _to you_. Good luck _to you_.

Yes, the system is horrendously broken. But just acknowledge — just _acknowledge_! — that it's a massive, massive, massive privilege to be able to afford to work a job that doesn't offer health insurance in the United States as it exists right now.

Consider how many people absolutely cannot fathom working for Gumroad as a result. I don't want to hear you do it. Just think. Think about it. Please!
So he walked inside the capitol building, a building that protesters have walked into without repercussions many times in the past, and got fired for it. Does he have a history of violence, or was he in the wrong place at the wrong time? Cogensia sounds like the kind of company that cares more about skewed-optics than about the truth of the matter. I didn't see news articles about rioting looters getting fired for their participation in "mostly peaceful" protests.

I'm not sure I would hire someone I don't trust.
My story went like this:

I left development to start consulting, and in the beginning I still had no idea of a competitive but profitable price stack. However I was very business minded, a week prior to leaving my field I just finished reading Dale Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends and Influence People".

Before I go further, let's stop and take a pause: this is a book that everyone needs to read, especially freelancers. I say especially these individuals because your livelihood is predicated not on a parent company managing image and taking a considerable chunk of the impact if you mess up. That being said, it is vital that freelancers read this book page for page, front and back to get a firm grasp of how to interact with people beyond "Do you need a website? Here's your website. Here's an invoice, alright have a good one". I read this book four times, and I'm reading it once more because in addition to being incredibly insightful: Dale Carnegie has a very conversational way of writing that makes this book an absolute joy to read.

Alright, ready for part two?

I had no idea of a profitable price stack, but after reading this book I had a good idea of how to approach people, propose ideas, listen to their needs and collaborate on a service that I could provide them. Still, I was stuck on what to charge. An idea came into my head, an old one that I'm sure is all over the web, debated from both sides, but an idea none the less. And this is what I told my first client:

"Before I quote you on this project that we're working on, I want to know what you think of the idea of free".

He was hooked, I had his attention. Free is an incredibly powerful word provided your ulterior motive is just. We worked together for three weeks as I helped him build his business, and as the time grew near for my involvement to end I gave him another incentive.

I offered him 5% on the next sale if he recommended a client that signed a contract to procure my services. By this point, I figured out that working on a retainer after concluding a 'sale' and ending a contract with a very happy client would be easier to secure than a rate structure that was predicated on the idea that I might end up having to bill more hours than was anticipated. The caveat was that he give no indication to whoever he would refer to me that he got free services, that was up to his discretion. I did not give him a line, a pitch or any sort of script. He ended up with $375 in his pocket, and a new customer.

He ended up becoming my personal accountant.
OVH are famous for cheap bittorrent seedboxes.
As a geek I'd like to be able to easily compare specs across a manufacturer's product line, and for some reason only Apple does this. Meanwhile Dell has taken to hiding the resolution of their displays, which is somewhat understandable since they're often the horrible 1366x768 at 15" or 1600x900 at 17". (Apple also gets credit for resisting the 16x9 trend for laptop screens. Note to everyone else: almost all documents are taller than they are wide).
With respect, how sure are you that it was the "same" laptop? I've done that before too, but just because you have the same processor, hard drive, etc. doesn't mean you have the same motherboard, antenna, case, and a variety of other things you can't customize.

If you read their material you'll see that they are expecting the project to "meet the world" in 2022 and are looking to achieve widespread adoption by 2040. As others have mentioned this might seem like forever in tech-startup terms, but they aren't aiming to just make a "AR-projector setup", they have much more ambitious goals, so it seems reasonable to also work on longer timelines, including keeping the "baby" in the crib until it's ready to walk instead of crawl.

No. I'm referring to full-on making out with your significant other in a public setting. Like in a park during the day, in McDonald's next to the kids bouncy ball pen, on the bus, etc.

Okay, that's another way to fix the problem then: break Twitch up into 100 baby Twitches, and don't let anyone have ownership/stake/control of more than one of them. If all 100 decide to ban someone, they probably deserve to be banned, and if they don't, then the person can keep streaming on one that didn't.
It's unacceptable in my view.

Mine too, but it's standard rhetoric among a very, very large part (possibly a near-majority) of the US population. Tech companies are fueling that fire by showing that (from that perspective), yes, they really are the paternalistic coastal elites that the other half of the country suspected they were. Leaving aside the many ways in which this weapon of platform banning can be abused by future shifts in power -- Google, Twitter, AWS, and now Twitch are not helping the causes they claim to be helping with prominent bans, they are just building taller walls around the various echo chambers.

They probably meant something more declarative, along the lines of OpenMP.

Looks like the whole thing was thrown together in a weekend.

FDR once said that nothing "just happens". Twitter looks like it was thrown together over a weekend, bit.ly looks like it was thrown together over a weekend, Hackers News looks like it was thrown together over a weekend. Everything most people ever poured thousands of hours of thought and sweat and dedication into probably looks like it was thrown together over a weekend. 20M Pageviews In 6 Weeks do not "just happen". I guarantee you that there is a team of very talented people working around the clock to make this product what it is. You can question the quality of their work, but there are tens of thousands of people who clearly disagree with you, and they didn't come about over the weekend.

PLEASE let this thing die a quick and painless death.

I never understood why someone would say that. There are people who spent a long time thinking about the product, building it, tweaking it, pouring their work into it, and inevitably someone comes along and says "let this thing die a quick death". Does it detract from your life? Does it detract from anyone's life? It makes people happy, otherwise they wouldn't be using it. Why would you wish failure upon someone else's work?
I can confirm the Czech government did basically nothing to prepare for vaccinations till the very last moment - something resembling a mass vaccination plan was only published on Dezember 22th (!) and only now the system seems to be in somehow working state, likely due to not having that many vaccines to process yet.

I think that's because the initial announced efficacy for ModeRNA/BioNTech was 95ish%, whereas for AZ it was 75%.
Yes, I do agree C# does have many constructs (Parallel For/ForEach/Invoke...) but there's many things to consider that are not designed with thread safety in mind (e.g. generic collections, List<T>, Dictionary<T>, etc... must be replaced by their System.Collections.Concurrent respectives) and many other risks that parallel computing poses.

int x = 0;
Parallel.For(0, 99999, z => {
x++;
});
Console.WriteLine(x);

Something as simple as an integer sum won't produce the expected output unless you're using Interlocked increments.

And that definetely does not match what oblio means with "have the programming language Do The Right Thing with no further hassle".
In France, la Loi littoral guarantees public access to the shoreline, everywhere. Or at least it should since it's often compromised by private interests. But it's still quite good for anyone who likes the sea, ocean and coasts. I'd love France to also have a "right to roam" law like Norway.

Are there such laws in your country? How well is it enforced?

Some of beach front lands were in private ownership before the access law passed. One notable example is Hollister ranch another is Martins beach. This lawsuit means that there's no pre-existing or effective easement for the road because the previous owners charged for access / parking. So as much as we want this land to be open and accessible, it is not. You can also legally access the beach by boat.
Say, if someone posts some text on a website like Pastebin, and another person copies and pastes it in another country, would it be considered as an import?

Onion sites are pretty secondary. Very few people using Tor know how to set them up or are even acutely aware of their existence. In I2P there is no concept of an exit node; that would only be unofficially possible by creating an eepsite that forwards connections from the clearnet. This is why I2P is overall a better model because it is a totally opt-in network but with no formal exit node distinction. I haven't read about I2Ps scaling issues in a while, but I'm pretty sure that the I2P network design is better at handling DDOS.
I’m actually wondering if there are serious doubts here. Especially due to the weaker charges levied, and watching the cringy @realrazzlekhan tiktok page where everyone also has their doubts about these people’s competence.

Darknet markets sell IDs, the DOJ also says the hackers used fake IDs to reintegrate the money. This fairly welloff couple (lives in Manhattan condo, owns bengal cat and jewelry) could easily just be one of the IDs. Both the husband and wife are early crypto proponents but that might just be circumstantial to both the DOJ and the hacker who got their IDs.

Watching this one. Its like they got just enough of data for a charge to get the subpoenas and warrants, but not enough to go for the bigger more damning charges.

>not compromise practical competency.

There's a quote from The Last Sentry[1] regarding this:

"On major combatant vessels, the political officer was third in command, following the captain and his starpom (short for stariy pomoshnik, or senior assistant), who was the equivalent of an executive officer in the U.S. Navy. The zampolit was required to qualify as an underway watch officer like any other officer on the ship and so had to have some operational competence."

I'm pretty sure that training and working with the regular crew would weaken the dedication to "The Party" over time.

> Instead DRM hurts sales, and lack of DRM helps (or at least doesn't hurt) them... and I'd challenge you to find any time-tested evidence to the contrary.

The math on this is very straight forward. Very few of the pirates the DRM stops go out and pay instead, but 100% of the customers who don't buy your product because the DRM sucks are actual lost sales. This is basic supply and demand. Offer free chocolate and everyone will be filling up the back of their trucks with it, but charge $1 and you'll be lucky if each person even buys one bar. Even less when it comes out that you've made it hard to eat. Worse, all but the first pirate are getting the DRM-stripped version from the first pirate but all your paying customers are getting the annoying DRM version.

And to add insult to injury, you have to spend money to build and maintain the DRM system -- unless you outsource it to someone like Apple or Amazon, in which case they become a toll collector that sits between you and your customers.

It's like paying someone to chase away your customers.
Space-X has a large rocket factory. It's in Hawthorne, California. It looks much like an ICBM factory from the 1960s. Boca Chica is a launch and final assembly facility.
Since nobody knows how to reliably ship secure commercial software, liability will mostly have the effect of making it difficult to start new software businesses. Liability would make more sense to me if we could converge on a common understanding of a secure development process, but working on that has taken up most of my career and I don't think it's even on the horizon. The industry is still debating memory safety.
It's really not that useful for Apple to collect analytics because they make physical products, where the potential of analytics is limited. When it comes to a SaaS or a web page, the possibilities of analytics are much greater.

And yet, Macs will still send usage and performance data to Apple so they can incorporate that information into future product versions and find out about system software issues.

First of all I was not at any point challenging the accuracy of the points in the article. I haven't fact checked them or anything but AFAIK they are completely accurate. I was however challenging the importance of them.

Policy decisions should absolutely be based in fact and reality. Yet they rarely are and the unintended consequences of almost every single law in every single country in the world proves it. This is why it's best to avoid policy decisions in the first place or at least minimize them and their impact.

Thirdly, yes it's terrible that people believe wrong things. But here is a surprise. They always have and they always will. Who knows maybe you and I both believe wrong things. As long as these wrong facts can't harm other people it doesn't do a lot of harm.

Should we try to teach them about the truth. Of course we should try. Should we punish them if they don't accept our version of the truth? No.

I for example am frustrated when intelligent people still insist on seeing the world as zero sum. It is a cultural issue more than anything. As that is what we have been brought up with from countless hollywood movies with evil rich guys taking land away from the common folks and what have you. I try whenever I can to teach about this, but I know it is an uphill battle.

Facts are important. But understanding the effects and importance of facts is even more important and is unfortunately not an objective task.

If you're interested Russ Roberts of EconTalk had a very interesting discussion of bias within Economics, where he attempted to look critically at his own and other economists biases in analyzing empirical evidence, which is essentially what our discussion is about:

If companies are buying the shares back based on ROFR then everybody wins. Employees get the liquidity and the company keeps control, but you can't do that without having a place to attract potential buyers.
