165,954 | null | null | The general argument is that open protocols tend to be stagnant while private ones are not, and that is true.<p>Private protocols can iterate faster, have a vested financial interest to not lose customers, are often not required to be as backwards compatible which further slows updates and they can tightly integrate from backend to user. Open protocols always tend to be disjointed, i.e Email + PGP whereas something like Signal is just integrated because it's all under control of a single entity.<p>In reality, and this is evidenced by user choice, that level of integration is important. It's why 99.9% of users are on Twitter, and not on Mastodon. | null | Barrin92 | null | 1,630,537,703 | "2021-09-01T23:08:23Z" | comment | 28,386,678 | 28,377,204 | null | null | null |

165,960 | null | null | I actually did something similar to this for slightly different use case. I needed to connect to two different VPNs simultaneously that had overlapping cidr ranges. So I created a network namespace for one of them, and used that for any connections that needed that VPN, and used the root network namespace for the other VPN. I did have to create two separate browser profiles though, since both firefox and chrome won't let you run multiple instances of the same profile simultaneously. | null | thayne | null | 1,630,537,650 | "2021-09-01T23:07:30Z" | comment | 28,386,671 | 28,383,742 | null | null | null |

165,970 | null | null | A functioning local economy is a nice perk for the money.<p>The essence of the problems with both the online surveillance state we've created and the burgeoning meatspace one we're sprinting towards is that people (in America, at least) have effectively ignored the knock-on effects of their purchases for the last, I don't know, 50 years or so. The cost of a functioning downtown is a couple bucks more, the cost of a local economy that's worth a damn is a couple bucks more, the cost of knowing where your products came from and that there's not a dead body or slave labor in their past is a couple bucks more.<p>I'm not gonna judge someone who says "I can't afford a couple bucks more," but if you're on this site and working in this industry and you're mad that Rite Aid is stalking you, pay a couple bucks more. | null | roughly | null | 1,595,979,043 | "2020-07-28T23:30:43Z" | comment | 23,981,816 | 23,980,405 | null | null | null |

165,972 | null | null | Alan Kay is a proponent for the notion of pervasive use of objects that work by sending and receiving messages, which leads to things like Smalltalk famously having no "if" statements.

166,012 | null | null | > What happens if I want to switch from MongoDb to.. Postgres.. The default choices with meteor are pretty fixed<p>This is exactly the reason I'm not using meteor - and it's not so much wanting the ability to <i>switch</i> backends as knowing in advance I want to use an SQL database like Postgres, and not Mongo. With meteor, it's Mongo or nothing.<p>I believe SQL integration is on their roadmap, but I think now it's too late.<p>You can in fact use React as the view layer with meteor, so for an app using React, the remaining killer feature of meteor 6 months ago was optimistic updates, with database sync all handled. But, there was still the hard limitation that you must use it with Mongo, which simply made it a no go. I commented about this here, a couple of times, and others did too. I even asked a few months ago if there was a library that just provided the optimistic updates feature. Well, now there is one that looks promising, though it's still early days and I've not used it yet - Facebook's Relay - with complete React integration, caching, request management and optimisation, and yes, optimistic updates and sync. The difference though, is that it talks to a graphql server, which can be written over any database at all - with Relay the frontend is entirely agnostic about the database used, by design, because it talks to it through a middle tier. There's no reason for me to wait for meteor to implement SQL integration any more, because now another solution has come along.<p>I still don't understand why meteor made the choice of a hard dependency on Mongo if they ever wanted to become mainstream. Had they not, it's very likely that many developers, myself included, would have picked up meteor over the past year and would be hooked on it. Now though, that train is rapidly leaving the station, at least for devs on the React stack. I think they missed their window. | null | davnicwil | null | 1,453,299,389 | "2016-01-20T14:16:29Z" | comment | 10,938,162 | 10,937,777 | null | null | null |

166,040 | null | null | Are you kidding me? No, of course you aren't. Of course we're reading TechCrunch playing blog-telephone with a story that <i>started out</i> with a terribly misinformed blog post.<p>Original comments: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6595993" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6595993</a><p>Things to know:<p>No, a judge did not order Thuen's laptop siezed because he was a "hacker".<p>No, the fact that Thuen claimed to be a hacker did not play into whether Thuen's laptop was examined and imaged.<p>No, Thuen did not simply leave Batelle to create an open-source version of his project.<p>There are no similarities between Thuen's case and Swartz's.<p>What happened here is straightforward. Thuen was an employee of Batelle. He was a developer on Batelle's "Sophia" project. While working for Batelle, he commenced work on his own version of "Sophia", called "Visdom". Batelle fired him. He took "Visdom" and created a new company, "Southfork", which sponsored "Visdom" as an open source project. Batelle sued, and Thuen admitted copying at least some components from "Sophia". Batelle prevailed in a preliminary injunction to have "Visdom" taken down, and, in the ongoing suit, made a discovery request for an image Thuen's laptop. The court agreed, as is routine in civil cases, with the proviso that the image be delivered directly to the court for escrow and not examined directly by Batelle.<p>There is an annoying wrinkle to this story: the judge did use Thuen's statements about being a hacker as justification for the idea that Thuen might spoil the evidence on the hard drive <i>once notified about the discovery request</i>; Batelle's outside forensic investigator was therefore not required to give advance notice to Thuen. But that is the only thing that the word "hacker" determined in this case.<p>It is absolutely bog standard for hard drive images to constitute discoverable evidence in civil cases, and it is not at all surprising that an full time software developer might get sued for copying their employer's product (even if it didn't share code, which apparently <i>isn't</i> the case here).<p>Jim Denaro read an earlier stage of this game of telephone in Ars Technica and called it "dangerously wrong about the law"; the facts of this case are even more attenuated in TechCrunch, which <i>does not give a shit if you know what is actually happening</i>, and is running this story solely to generate rageviews. | null | tptacek | null | 1,382,816,724 | "2013-10-26T19:45:24Z" | comment | 6,618,929 | 6,617,286 | null | null | null |

166,043 | null | null | Fewer and fewer people. The art world is similar. Artists should be aware what other artists have done, to not do something unoriginal unintentionally. But that's hard work because it requires so much time/energy to investigate. So the hard work of art criticism falls on the non-artist who can dedicate him/herself to the task full-time. My analogy is the critic is the codebreaker and the artist is the code-maker. Artists make great critics because they have inside knowledge of how the moves (decisions) are made. But artists often lack the historical perspective, awareness of emerging work and (while I can't read anyone's mind) they typically lack the vocabulary to discuss their decisions analytically. But splitting up the work allows for more specialization. They're both specialists with tons of overlap but they have different goals. So maybe the cryptography world will make the same split, if it hasn't already? Crypto-artists dedicated to creating complexity and then historian-critic-codebreakers to determine the value (strength?) of what was created. They need each other. One creates, the determines the value of it.<p>Anyway, as in art, "naiveté" (no formal education) can sometimes lead to a surprising breakthrough. While it's rare for an uneducated artist to do something interesting, I believe education hinders creativity in some instances. Though most unschooled artists, most of the time, tend to produce the same cliché results as predecessors, they do have the advantage of always thinking outside the box because the box is invisible to them. So outsiders can get breathtakingly weird results sometimes and part of that weirdness is due to their lack of education. It seems to me cryptography is like art in that originality is a goal. In non-objective art especially, you don't want anything recognizable. Like cryptography, non-objective art conceals the true meaning behind the intent. Sometimes cryptography and art even conceal the intent.<p>So creativity allows for infinite approaches and therefore infinite ways to conceal information. Anyway, I don't plan to become a cryptographer but I think it's a cool analogy (to compare to art) and would be interested in learning more about the "big picture" of cryptography if there are any good books on the subject, even if it's fiction. | null | pjbrunet | null | 1,382,816,676 | "2013-10-26T19:44:36Z" | comment | 6,618,925 | 6,617,706 | null | null | null |

166,045 | null | null | You start with the premise that you can't host your own email, which is problematic. I don't know why the people who fail at self-hosting email are so adamant about telling others that nobody should self-host, but it seems more like a squeaky wheel problem than a real one.<p>In every scenario, deliverability problems can be solved by smarthosting through a reputable email provider. Period.<p>You get all the benefits of your own filtering, your own logs showing every delivery attempt, you get to store your data on your own systems, access it however you prefer, et cetera - all the reasons to self-host are there except for delivery logs, and those can be arranged through your smarthost provider.<p>Simple, huh? So why are so many people emphatically telling us to NOT self-host email? | null | johnklos | null | 1,662,318,291 | "2022-09-04T19:04:51Z" | comment | 32,716,543 | 32,715,812 | null | null | null |

166,050 | null | null | > Assuming that online dating works magically well for gay/lesbian folks but doesn't for straight people seems like a really large leap to make and also seems really untrue from what I've heard<p>Of course it isn't perfect for all of them, but it's a much less dysfunctional market than the straight one. Which means there's less of a business model in catering to gays and lesbians there (doubly true given that they're rare.)<p>And yes, in theory, straight people can date bi people, but again, by not perfectly serving that bi market you cut off a tiny fraction of your clientele. Screw up the straight market and your site is doomed. Which should he focus on?<p>> What I did say was that the way the site felt it felt like it was designed with a pretty narrow frame of how dating worked<p>Yes, that's called "targeting a particular market." | null | ahh | null | 1,364,608,817 | "2013-03-30T02:00:17Z" | comment | 5,464,050 | 5,463,968 | null | null | null |
