Sure, hobby/spare-time projects are one of the cases where it's perfectly reasonable to self-host; often it's fun to learn about the underlying tools by rolling your own db, and doing so can save you some cash (at the expense of your own time).

However, that paradigm is not really applicable to GitLab's OpEx calculation; they have to pay their engineers ;)
I think you're right on with B. As a photo professional I'd say 4K 60fps video is the number one feature a camera can have these days. Enabling every photographer to also be a cinematographer. Canon and Nikon just aren't keeping up, mostly due to their crushingly expensive pro lines.
US federal law [1], per the Department of Justice, disagrees:

> Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor...

No language exists to include depictions of the sort you describe, which are trivially distinguishable from an actual minor.

Perhaps you argue from the law of a specific US state, but you need in that case to name the state on whose laws you base your argument, and explain why they have a stronger bearing on the matter at hand than the laws of the nation entire.

If you're going to continue to accuse me of engaging in hyperbole, authoritarianism, ignorant pseudoscientific wittering, and whatever else you can think of, that is of course your privilege, and I would never dream of suggesting you demur. But will you please leaven it a bit with actual substance, as in your comment full of rich, meaty counter-citations to my hypothesis around reinforcement, a comment which I look forward to perusing? That was an excellent comment, and I appreciate it! Quite aside from the tantalizing possibility of learning something new and thus improving my understanding of reality, one does eventually grow tired of the same thing over and over; a bit of variety appeals.

I really think you overshoot here on almost every point. The ones that stick out for me:
* Not everyone has trained overseas. In the west/east bubble maybe that's common, but nowhere else.

* You seriously try defending reading bomb-making books? To imply that reading a book on how to make bombs, without any background need for it like a job related to pyro, etc., is not suspicios is IMHO rediculous.

* Not "everyone" uses encryption. Actually, the majority of web users do not, and less so knowingly.

* Not "everyone" will suddenly and completly change the overall theme of themselves.

* Not "everyone" has recent loss or has been humiliated.

In general, your other points are getting onto something and i somewhat agree.

However, to be honest I don't think a break down approach is the best to gain incite into the FBI's process. The questions are supposed to be treated as a whole, not singulars. Each question is not designed to give a yes/no answer; but rather the end result, suspicion of terrorism, is a complex, non-analytic function of all the answers

They should at least put a warning when it's opinion and not fact. Programmers with a limited world view may end up following these instructions - putting themselves at risk for taking a stance on sensitive cultural and political issues.
For some things we are, but I don't know how far along open source software is currently. It would take a major incentive to get people to even talk openly about what's possible in this space.

I'm not suggesting so much that it is painful in general (that's neither here nor there): I'm suggesting that existing libraries, specifically libsodium, make this _easier_ for anyone who isn't writing like C or _maybe_ Rust and _maybe_ Go. (So, anything on the JVM, Python, Javascript, Ruby, PHP... You name it.)

For those use cases, the consumed artifact is a .so. Having a .so is easier than having to make it. Furthermore, having repeatedly built libsodium (I built FPM debs when libsodium wasn't yet commonly packaged), for those people building this is just as easy as libsodium if for some reason they need to build at all.
I like how even thought I got windows 10 home with my laptop I can't install it from anywhere because the laptop didn't come with a recovery USB and the recovery partition got corrupted so basically I have to rely on downloading so-called "MSDN" images from torrents and hope for the best, verifying the hashes along the way...
> The alternative is to have a few million people that you're concerned about for some reason and then have no way to exclude the vast majority of them from investigative interest.

If you're concerned about a few million people to spot 10 (a high estimate) per year then you will need better tools than dragnet surveillance and questionnaires like these. Did you really expect to answer any of these questions about a would-be terrorist in such a way that it would help an investigation?

Check the questions, it's positively skewed towards one particular kind of terrorist (young Islamic males even though it does not state that outright it might as well be written there). And then you get your nice, upstanding Christian white-guy who murders 6 people in cold blood and would have murdered a whole lot more if he had the chance.

These questions are meaningless without accurate priors and accurate priors require incidence rates that are distinguishable from noise.

Hey there, thanks a lot for the feedback and questions.

I agree, the most obvious use case is a scanner setup at an entry gate. Another use case is when on patrol, manually scanning cars that are in a parking lot this goes surprisingly fast when you put your phone on a bike mount.

It does require an iPhone as the camera, and works best with folks who have an extra phone. The idea is this would be cheaper than buying and installing an Axis Camera and associated software. Or it is at least a quicker way to find out if bothering with a more advanced system would be worthwhile.

As far as outside a manned entry gate, I believe this could work in a ruggedized case, where the phone is case is physically mounted to a public township 'welcome' sign and powered.

One interesting aspect of this product is that it can cache scans offline until internet is available again. So a spare phone can be left, say in a ruggedized case, and hidden, listening for a wi-fi network you've previously set up access to. (i.e. a hotspot on your normal device.)

Then when you walk up to the capture device, the phone will connect and the scans will process.
Sorry but 99% of startups fail because 99% of founders don’t know waht they’re doing, which is why picking the right founders and team is most important.

The implication of this is that most startups fail because the founders are not capable. That assumes some sort of binary situation where a founder will succeed or not depending on whether they're good enough. That's nonsense. Startups are based on a long series of complex decisions where you fail if you get something wrong (or two or three things wrong if you have decent funding), and often the decisions have to be made based on very little information, very quickly. The suggestion failing even after getting a lot right means you don't know what you're doing is decidedly unfair.

A failure is an event, not a person.
Oh gawd. Not again!

IE on Win XP. Or at least anything using the built in crypto stuff. I think firefox will still use it's own. Not sure about chrome.
> You don't need multiple IPs and you don't even need SNI with its legacy client compatibility problems (now mostly well past). Just get a certificate that covers all the domains you use.

Horrible idea depending on your use case. If you are single-tenant, this might work out well for you.

If you are multi-tenant then the information leak is pretty nuts, and not something I can see any of my customers being alright with. That and the whole idea of giving the public access to my customer list is pretty silly to me.

Additionally in many environments the end-user can potentially access the private key on the server (think managed services environments) which is an obvious security hole. You'd think people would realize this, but in my experience they do not. In such cases you just let the private key walk out the door for every domain ever configured for that SSL certificate.
garbage paywall
"Especially if you have checks to avoid tampering with results (e.g. processing every chunk twice)."

See, that's the problem every time this comes up (and it's come up about as often as micropayments). By the time you get done accounting for the unreliability, hostile end-users, lack of access, customer support, low-grade obsolete inefficient un-fixable infrastructure, increased avenues for attack, duplicate processing, super-high latency, super-low bandwidth etc, you've created something that's several times slower, more expensive, more unreliable, more complex, and harder to upgrade than if you'd just stuck it all in a datacenter where you don't have to propose insane mechanisms like double your computations.
Just because someone is religious doesn't mean they wear it on their sleeve. There's probably more than 1 Christian on this forum - odds are you've interacted with them and you probably have no idea they're Christian.

A lot of it probably has to do with where you live.

Thinking rationally, the United States is a Christian majority country. If zero Christians believed in e.g. climate change or protecting the environment, it probably wouldn't be an issue that either party would pay attention to.

That's the money quote.
In my experience most are, but there is also some work in operations management and optimisation, product design (e.g. financial products, digital products) and other areas.

I think marketing is the obvious first use case, but in large organisations there are often gains to be made looking at operational data.
Interesting, those two are very surprising to have issues. Got anything about the alexa skill one?
If it's a well known application I will go out of my way and buy it outside the store if that's the only way to get it. But for some random app that I just found I have to wonder if it's worth getting it from outside the store (and frequently the answer is no). I need to a) give my credit card to a random website that will probably get hacked in the next 12 months, b) start getting unsolicited email campaigns in about 18 months when someone hires a growth hacker, c) remember how to install the damn thing when I upgrade my laptop, d) deal with the reduced security guarantees of an app that did not go through the Apple review process and is not subject to the sandboxing of the App Store.

For many apps where I wouldn't mind spending $10 to $20 in the App Store, I am probably not going to deal with all of the above to buy it directly from the developer.
And produce a lot more heat, for the same computation!
Singal, nee TextSecure, I'd assume.

Edit: Crap, I mean WhatsApp, which _uses_ Signal's protocol now.
App review takes a day now. Was it really that much of a hassle to you?
>>There's little or no proof I've seen that shows any significant number of people actually believe the stuff on small sketchy sites in question originally

The proof is that the sites get large numbers of repeat visitors and their articles get shared unironically on social media.

I mean creators of these sites make tens of thousands of dollars a month. That may be small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, but put all of them together and they make up a sizable portion of total Internet media readership.

Russia (as per se) exists only since 1991.
I really really really wish amazon would just develop a vendor neutral app store already. Valve seems unwilling to branch into apps outside the sphere of the gaming community. Apple and Microsoft seem to not care about the features that would make their stores more attractive to both buyers and sellers.
You can select the language on the poster page. It'll let you select any/all languages it detects.

Everything is automated so I only look at the poster if someone asks me to checkout an inconsistency (was earlier, not at all now).

Take a look at some of my code (https://github.com/Ortuna) most of it is bad and hacked together. Until I find that one thing that is fun, like commits.io. Then I savor writing each line. I start sweating the little stuff because its fun. But then again some days code isn't as important as going outside.

I Do Not Know C: Short quiz on undefined behavior (2015)
Right but that is my point. I don't think anyone would be averse to buying an app outside the app store just because it doesn't have that feature.

That could explain why someone chooses to buy it in the store if it is available both on and off the app store, but it's unlikely that there is many (any?) people out there who refuse to install an app that isn't in the app store.
smart to use the snapchat logo as well. that way when apple sues, you can argue that you steal all your logos.

you're all idiots.
> the abstractions that are helpful are the ones that significantly reduce complexity

Accepted! (Did I mention anything about complexity?)
Every time I'm thinking of random side projects to work on, "make GPG easier to use" is always one of them. There are good things that can be done there, especially with things like keybase. Even a simple web-based (but completely offline) client would make it very easy for me to share encrypted text with colleagues and family, since they don't need to install something just to talk with me the 1% of the time I want to use encryption.

Each time I realize that Signal/Whatsapp/Wire are already doing much more here, and much better than I could do on my own. Sure, they're not email (sadface), but they've effectively solved this problem, by capitalizing on the paradigm shifts brought by phones -- there finally is a device on which to store keys locally (as opposed to on a server) that everyone has.
One of my children spent the better part of two weeks in such a location. Please thank you sister on my behalf, it's the ones that live that hopefully somehow relieve some of that burden and mine did and I'll be forever grateful to the people that do such work. One day when we came there to feed our child the atmosphere was quite changed and I didn't have to ask anybody what was up. And still, nobody so much as dropped a stitch on that shift or said a bad word. Super impressed.
Interesting never thought about it like that.

To me the icon indicating it's app store is this: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/marketing/guidelines/#...

But now you actually got me wondering if I should change it.
Which data was rescued? Was it the original raw data, or the "corrected" data?
If you are unsure why you were downvoted, I strongly suspect it's because politely giving and receiving due credit are important, knowing that one's interlocutor was involved in specific research is very useful information (to know what questions to ask), and it's probably kind of rude to call someone to account in this manner. Hope this helps :)
Plenty of reason to not use SNI. First off - not everything is a web browser. While browser support for SNI is pretty good these days, other clients are far behind. That random app that connects to your web API has to also support SNI, which means some old PHP library somewhere has to as well. Good luck.

That and a surprising number of "regular" clients still seem to have issues with SNI. My numbers are quite dated, but even as recent as 3 years ago it was something like dropping 10% of traffic for a high traffic site I did A/B testing with. I'm guessing the number was even higher, but the client requested we immediately stop the test once it became apparent it was a major reachability issue affecting revenue.
It ultimately comes down to who makes the rules and who the companies have to answer to in the end, I think. Though I must say that the article had a rather odd way of stating that, with their use of the word 'sovereignty' in this sentence:

> Governments and courts are chipping away at the sovereignty of internet firms, and public opinion is pushing them to police themselves better.
> actually the number one hidden danger in the modern diet.

LLVM does it only for very particular things. Otherwise it is using malloc a lot. The ownership is interesting as well, as some pieces are "leaked" to the LLVMContext, which has some granularity: it owns the module you're working on, so can't be destroyed before you don't need the module anymore.
It often took a week and yes it was a hassle also because of all the restrictions they put on what you are allowed to do.

I know they have improved a little but I frankly don't need them as the Mac appstore market is nothing like the iOS appstore market. There is no benefit really.
Exactly as specified, and immune to timing attacks including cache eviction. I make no claim about other side channels, or the strength of the primitive themselves —though I did pick strong primitives.

>"But people only take exactly what they are ready to take even from a perfect teaching."

I agree that to be prepared for an idea makes someone more receptive to it. I find the same thing with creative thinking as a whole. When I've taken the time to reflect on an puzzle, I'm more receptive to a solution.

Regarding the other points you raised about love, another question... Is sincerity important for true love? Or to put it another way, can illusory actions be conducted in a loving way?
Nah man, you got a nice looking button there. I'd stick with it unless you get a warning from Apple. Keep up the good work!
What about wall-mounted out of the box bitcoin miners? Get around the physical access/security difficulties by making the homeowner own the machine and capture the benefit from its computation (rather than relying on network-based resource sharing). The economics might not really work out in the case of bitcoin but maybe there are other applications where the value of (computation + heat output) would make it worthwhile.
Only if you rely on resistive heating, which most people don't, because it is ridiculously expensive.
I suspect you are a tiny minority though and that the cut the app store takes doesn't make up for losing a few folks like yourself.

However, I have no data to back up that claim, so I could very well be wrong.

I personally don't feel like you do because I use burner cards and emails to solve the hacking and spamming problems, and apps still have to be sandboxed unless you turn off that safeguard explicitly for the app.

I wonder if articles like this will hasten non-app-store-apps' demise. Apple has already appeared to be quite itchy to lock down everything and weld the hood shut, throwing vendor kexts out of the kernel left and right and introducing ChromeOS-like OS verification steps, making users jump through several hoops to run downloaded executables... Apple's going to eventually want to stem the outgoing tide before too many apps flee the walled sandbox and have a voice loud enough that they can't simply ignore. (It's only a matter of "when" really; they made the OS free because they fully intend to get their 30% cut on every app sold, moving the iOS model to the Desktop.)
Wait a sec – consumer benefits absolutely affect the developer, because they affect whether or not the consumer buys the developer's app!

It's not necessarily a dealmaker or breaker; but if someone really cares about that and the market has many substitutes, it could be enough to sway them towards App Store purchase.

I think of someplace like REI with inventory for a wide range of outdoor-ruggedized premium products - many of which are just slightly better fabric/plastic/metal devices, I think there's a good argument that you do want to own various niche needs and have your brand name and reputation prominent.

But relying on a mass market outlook when the product is becoming a niche (or maybe a set of niches), that is going to lead to trouble.
That's simply untrue. You can download a copy of Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft. [0] It's the first search result if you Google Windows 10 ISO.

Plus, most laptops don't come with a recovery USB (neither do Macs) and IMO having a recovery partition is silly when installing it from scratch is cleaner/easier.

Exactly that's the point of the falsehoods article on names. Now if I could just convince management...
Well, with that logic, open-source security-related products are a complete joke, too.

- Microprocessor can look at the binary, recognize the patterns ("oh, this is OpenSSH trying to generate a key... lets give them an easily breakable one") and do whatever it wants with it.

Remediation: build your own compilers, build you own processors, from your own schematics, in your own foundry (cost: $billions), built by yourself.

Good luck?
