On 4, the point might be that thousands of files in a single directory can create performance issues with readdir().

The usual workaround to that is to create subdirectories based on the first few characters of the filename.

Since you're using bash, you could do something like:

$ echo 1df8be33-4392-471a-99af-3df967b87cb6 |sed -e 's/^\(.\)\(.\)/\1\/\2\/\1\2/'
1/d/1df8be33-4392-471a-99af-3df967b87cb6

Edit: You may want more than 2 levels of directories, or directories with 2 character names instead of 1, etc. Apache's mod_cache defaults to 2 levels of 2 character names, but the filenames are base 64, so more possibilities than hex.
Good read, but the title is entirely misleading.
It's not a waste of time, the AU passport is extremely important to be rolled out.

But the current scheme is of course a sham, a mere propaganda piece. And maybe yet another scheme to get paid bribes a 2nd time. Nevertheless, you have to start somewhere to build pressure.
The point is that the other person only turns into an antagonist after some point (hence the "revenge" in revenge porn). It takes a more twisted mind to do a backup just in case you end up splitting and hating your ex.
Does anyone know offhand the architecture of the Mach/BSD hybrid kernel in this case? It sounds suspiciously like a problem with the IBM Microkernel back in about 1992, and with the OSF's mkLinux, which is apparently a predecessor of Mac OS.

Specifically, do the syscalls writing the file go through multiple protection domains?

Uh-oh, nobody wants their face filmed while watching porn.

And again, it is a client app, assume it would be modified by a malicious party.

Just admit the problem is not possible to solve.

While you literally did address the question (and I applaud you for responding), you didn't actually answer it.

There is, of course, no technological way to prevent someone from capturing a video through the analogue hole (i.e., pointing a camera to the video as it is played), even if we assume that is possible that a consumer device can be controlled to such an extent that its owner can't find a way to capture the video output digitally.
PyCon's promises to attendees in case they are denied entry into the USA
So, simple question: why isn't everything electronic shielded inside big lead blocks?

I get why this isn't the prevailing approach in aerospace applications: weight. But for a ground based robot with an external power source, why not heavy shielding cubes with minimal connections to the necessary exposed bits?

And why not just load it down with 5x CotS sacrificial cameras, then expose them as needed when the previous one dies?
Is dealing with the music industry, which cranks licensing costs up every year, a failed business model? Maybe. Spotify is allowed to live but not to thrive.
In principle, what stops one party from simply reverse engineering the client app and permanently retrieving the file? Once the video file is decrypted on the client, even briefly, you've lost control.

Your answer demonstrates that you've thought about this problem, not that you've solved it. I like the idea of this app, but I would argue that the core promise of your app is technically infeasible.

EDIT: I clicked through to read your whitepaper and see that you've explicitly called this concern out and admitted the DRM scheme cannot be foolproof. That's admirable, and I'm glad you did address it. I would gently suggest you place that disclaimer somewhere in your FAQ as well.
It depends. Outside NYC/SanFran, rents are usually what you'd pay for a mortgage plus some nominal upcharge.

I took a gig in Houston in 2011, knew it was a bubble going in, and rented. I probably paid $200 more per month to rent vs. buy. Apres la deluge in 2016, I was in great shape; it cost me roughly $12k as insurance against having to sell into a down market.
Hmmm thinking better still would be some kind of cooperative playback whereby it's not possible to play or record the video without direct cooperation from the other device. One device could store a one time pad for the video and the other could store the XOR with the one time pad. Both have to cooperate to play back. Could be extended to N devices devices using Samir's algo
We must live in different places in the Bay Area, or else you're not factoring in quality.

I have two stores within biking distance (15-20 min or less) and perhaps four in driving distance (same time in city traffic). I'm not counting convenience stores or other similar dives.

With one exception (meat) on a quality basis Whole Foods averages out to be the same price as any other store I have shopped at. Meat is the exception because it averages to be about $1/lb more than other grocers.
> Terrorism as performance art, successfully gaining the sympathies of the population (provided it isn't too extreme) and driving the government to give the terrorists what they want?

While the term 'terrorist' seems a bit connoted to me, there is indeed a sort of bargain/blackmail dynamic in most protests and funnily the french population routinely describes itself 'hostage' when the situation leads to disturbance of public services or infrastructures.

> This is the kind of thing I'd expect in Yemen or Somalia, not western Europe.

Right, peaceful protesting in countries at war is probably not too frequent. Although in the case of Somalia, protests must be kind of interesting since there is essentially no government.

>I suspect in the UK or Netherlands (places I'm more familiar with) attitudes would be a lot closer to US.

Absolutely, for tons of cultural and social reasons. Although I observe that all the countries you listed did at times have violent rioting as well.
This political argument that it's all just a plot by Blockstream is what is causing the division where the technical benefits of segwit are clear to anybody who knows what they are talking about.

Dean Baker places this at around 1980, so more than 25 years. There was the one span of time ( late '90s ) where it was suspended, and wages grew. He has a new book, "Rigged" and flogs the book on BookTv ( my "books for the post literate" source... )
Terrorism as performance art...

Is it ever anything else? Even so, it's stretching a bit to call these protests "terrorism".

I'm incredibly impressed by the design work on this. As someone who has studied design the past few years, the landing page alone is filled with little details and choices that taken together just succinctly and beautifully communicate what this app does. Definitely inspiring to know Nathan just hacked on this on his own -- I hope it is a terrific success!

I'm not a huge fan of the CEO in general, but I get the impression he really does care about the organic-foods part. There are more liberals who fall in that category, yes, but there are definitely libertarians into it as well. What's probably more unusual is that he's a wealthy big business type of libertarian who also likes organic foods, while the libertarians into organic food are more often the off-the-grid type.

How can it be the new design? The title bar should never be the focus of the layout but now it is. It catches our attention before the content which is more important.
fwiw Spotify just offered to bundle HBO Now for a reasonable price, actually, but when I decided to go for it, I was told it was not available in my area. And it was never seen again. Apparently they have been testing responses to these bundles without actually following through, but it's a good indication of future movements.
It was messed up when they got to it, just like for their parents, and their grandparents before. Granted, boomers sort of went nuts with it. Housing is subsidized, and this is what subsidy looks like. It's down to folklore that subsidizing housing looks like redistribution to Progressives and looks like it makes people more conservative to conservatives.
And creating a multiplatform coherent, attractive, and performant UI on top of an infinite catalog of music, with recommendations, shareable playlists, "radio stations", and on and on - is no small feat. Apple shows no capacity for doing this any time soon. Heck even Spotify is barely holding it together, and this is their entire business.
Honestly i dont mind that factor at all. Sometimes wifi is shitty, sometimes not. Usually it works because otherwise people would complain. At home i had a gigibit sync internet connection and honestly i rarely really miss it. If everything else fails 4G is widely available and cheap
Sorry but it's not the same. When you use your own hardware you have to scale it to handle the peak usage times. This is often a small fraction of the day.

I don't like putting databases in the cloud, but there you pay closer to actual usage instead of 24x7 at max capacity.

BTW I was thinking in open-source options. Or commercial ones with a less draconian licensing (if there are any left).
The page for ORDER BY on the Postgres website, seems to indicate that it is made efficient by design for the common cases of ORDER BY ASC and DESC at least - but you have to use B-tree indexing for this.

Further reading seems to indicate that if you have WHERE, ORDER BY or GROUP BY statements they all have to be covered by (the same?) B-tree index.

People are only shocked by death because we live in a creche society that attempts to insulate us from it. How many times do you think the average person has seen a dead human body? Beyond that, how many times has the average person witnessed the death of anything more substantial than an insect?

We fear our own deaths because we've forgotten our true nature, so we've attempted to banish the specter of death from society as a whole. I'm willing to bet people who have this reaction to the death of a chicken are being brought in contact with their own mortality, and that scares them. Given that we are all going to die, we should get comfortable with death rather than hide from it.
Very nice work on the website. It looks great and it's highly informative.
I somewhat agree. But relationship status can be very vague and ambiguous. Let's say that you discover that your partner is unfaithful. You're pissed off, but you hide it until you've had a chance to clone those sextapes. Then you talk it out, and see how things go.

Best bet is avoiding sextapes.
> The "$20 head of lettuce" argument falls apart when you examine it critically.

I'm sorry, what? Your idea of "examine it critically" is to watch a snippet of internet video, assume that it shows the entire picture of produce farming & distibution, and then count people believing that you can use that snippet to calculate costs? You really think this is in any way a meaningful calculation?

I used to work on flight software for a private company. It seemed like inertia from "heritage" always drove lots of decisions. From my memory, I remember quality assurance from NASA getting hung up on the following items during design reviews:

1) an RTOS they weren't familiar with

2) a language they weren't familiar with (the familiar set was Ada, C, C++)

3) dynamic memory allocation

How much push back did you get from quality assurance?
Haha, or the opposite -- "homeopathic" cough drops with significant zinc in them, which is actually therapeutic according to solid research that somehow hasn't registered with the popular consciousness. Maybe zinc's problem is that it got claimed as homeopathic, discrediting it in most people's eyes?
We've more or less switched from WF produce to Pete's, a local commodity grocery chain, and it puts WF to shame. I'm sure similar things are true in other markets.

I think maybe the issue is that grocery stores don't make nearly as much on produce as they do on prepared foods or even on house-brand packaged foods, and it's pretty plain to see that Whole Foods optimized itself over the last 10 years for revenue maximization. Competition is an issue, but so is wedging yourself into a local maxima.

Another thought is that grocery stores might be like drug stores in the sense that they are in significant part a commercial real estate bet; the store is really just a mechanism for extracting value from specific parcels of land. One other major difference between WF and "big box" chains is that WF tends to be smaller; it can't extract dollars from square feet by stocking them with Frito Lay and Coca Cola products the way Krogers can.
Employee #1 Speech Synthesizer
This is a cool idea.

I expressed an upfront concern about reverse engineering in another comment directly to the OP (no DRM is foolproof, etc). After skimming through the whitepaper I'd like ask you a few implementation questions about the feasibility of client trust:

• Can you tell me how the device token/keys are stored locally and accessed by the application? I understand the crypto itself (e.g. libsodium), but I'd like to know how you're protecting data on the client insofar as you can.

• Can you tell me what your methodology is for determining if an application has been manipulated or altered?

• How are you specifically obfuscating sensitive data or otherwise making the DRM bypass difficult (e.g. obfuscating data in .so files, etc).

I'm not trying to grief you here, I just want to talk about technical protection mechanisms in place. To your credit, you explicitly admitted that DRM is fundamentally not a foolproof guarantee (though that's different from saying it's not effective...). I think your app would mitigate most scenarios where an ex would try and expose the other party.

All of the largest corporations in the world run on financial or ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle financials, Microsoft Dynamics etc., which sit on top of relational databases.

While in the SV start-up world it may seem like NoSQL is taking over, the Enterprise database market is massive, and replacing the relational databases behind corporate ERP systems with NoSQL based solutions, (to the extent that is even possible/wise), will be a long time coming.

Oracle has a giant footprint in a huge number of organizations across multiple industries. Love them or hate them, (and right now there is good reason to hate then), they are not going away anytime soon, and calling them "irrelevant in the tech landscape" seems premature/myopic given their massive install base and influence in the corporate/enterprise IT space.
> What can Oracle do that Postgres can't, then?

Provide enterprise level support. That is, they provide 24x7 support with technicians who can troubleshoot problems with the database or provide basic indexing support, etc. They also will write specific patches for specific customers as needed.

It also has more features than PostgreSQL (more indexing options, custom SQL extensions, a better optimizer), is more stable, and has a lot more developers working full time on it.

PostgreSQL is good, no doubt, and GAFA have shown that you can take an open source DB and throw engineers at it to make it handle ridiculous scale. But what if you don't have those engineers to throw at the problem and constantly patch/update the DB? Finding people qualified is going to be both hard and expensive. An average MySQL DBA can easily fetch $200 an hour for routine work, and over $400 an hour for emergencies (my numbers are about 4 years old; it's probably gone up), and never be out of work or job offers. I don't imagine a good PostgreSQL admin is worth any less.
"daemonless" makes the most sense to me, though I doubt that would catch on.
