There are plenty of videos showing intentionally filmed murder: the Mexican drug cartels and various Middle Eastern terrorist/vigilante/death squad outfits are notorious for this kind of stuff. The "snuff film" hypothesis is just that it's possible to sell this kind of material for a direct profit and/or that they're "made to order" by buyers, which are highly unlikely.

The core benefit of Dropbox is being "a folder that syncs". They've pretty much nailed it at the very start, and all the recent changes seem to be only step backwards. Lack of ability to link directly to files (instead of their heavy and useless web UI with "download" button) is something that makes their product worse, from user's POV.
I don't have SpaceX numbers. But, a constellation like this was supposed to provide ~200 Gbytes per month for 5 billion people, which works out to ~3000 terabytes per second or ~5 terabits per second per satellite at a minimum. (More if they are modeling the ocean.)

To user piker's point, most corporate attorneys are licensed to practice where they are and in Delaware, which has become sort of a default, because of the clarity of their regs and case-law. The deal seems to be: "Let's do business under some rules that both of us understand".

This Central Texas' startup attorney's blog is worth flipping through - and this article speaks to your specific concern:

It's true that a lot of theology that we might think is "ancient" or "traditional" isn't really. However, the Jewish year (currently 5777) is widely at least referred to across Jewish denominations.

This reckoning is called לבריאת העולם‎ or Anno Mundi in European cultures and does officially refer to the creation (בריאת). Wikipedia says that the current consensus about this timescale was fixed by Maimonides in 1178 CE.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_Mundi

I should add that writing dates in the Jewish calendar doesn't necessarily imply that one using the calendar personally believes that it literally refers to the age of the world, but most users would probably agree that "Jewish tradition" in some sense has regarded it that way.

I hate to be that guy, but no one should take legal or accounting advice from a blog post. There are a lot of good reasons for your company to be an LLC or C-corp and there are a lot of good reasons to incorporate outside of Delaware.

Nevada for example also has no corporate income tax. Montana, South Carolina, and New Mexico don't specifically regulate money transmitters.

Delaware is great for share holder rights, but if you don't have a lot of growth or external investors yet, incorporating in Delaware may be overkill as you can always do so later.

Mostly, startups should be focused on product, not things like incorporating until you need to. And by then, spend the lousy 2k on an attorney to advise you and do it properly.
You can host any kind of HTML. Jekyll is just there so you can check in Markdown and config and GitHub will generate the HTML for you whenever you commit. But it doesn't have to work that way. Plenty of static site generators also support GitHub Pages as a hosting method.
This is bullshit. DB's public folder was a HUGE win. I don't even know if Nextcloud has this feature but I'm switching to it.
> Maybe that wasn't a wise choice, but at that time it looked like a good way: The link did not give a clue about my identity, making peer review easier, and DB being a well-funded and known internet company those links were surely meant to work forever, cool URLs don't change is something they had to know. Boy was I wrong.

I also fell into the trap (back when I had an active Dropbox account) of using the Public folder and sharing links from there. At some point along the way, Dropbox started allowing one to share single files from any private folder without exposing the rest of the folder to the audience, and I started using that method instead. Still, even if I had stayed with Dropbox I probably would have some orphaned /Public links out there somewhere, thanks to this change.

I think we both could have avoided that trap by setting up a small storage VPS with a provider like Digital Ocean or Vultr and installing a document management system. It would still be fairly anonymous; a truly determined detective could find the owner but it would likely require a subpoena, which Dropbox would have been vulnerable to as well.
The single truth center is the blockchain. Without that you have nothing.

Git and BitTorrent may not have a single truth center, but they are decentralized and can operate autonomously. Bitcoin cannot. I'd argue it doesn't really solve the generals problem, it just provides a mechanism that can solve it by narrowing the problem down and ignoring some of the ugly edge cases.

A true solution to that problem would work in "offline" mode, that is you don't need a persistent link to some authority to ensure you're working with correct information.
It's more nuanced than that. It's a variation on the Nixon southern strategy as described by Lee Atwater in 1981. There simply aren't enough plutocrats to win elections.

That's why it comes down to the details and the fit and finish. One neat feature is the ability to run Lambdas with a database access token corresponding to a particular user, which can then be passed through to sub-Lambdas (or it can even run with sub-permissions). Here is a blog post with quickstart instructions: https://serverless.com/blog/faunadb-serverless-authenticatio...

For instance, you could have a fire-and-forget self-service self-provisioning online shopping site builder, and bill database costs through to your customers (we give you that information in response headers).

You can also use FaunaDB to do consistent coordination between FaaS execution environments running in different clouds. So if you like a processing feature Azure makes available, but want to run your user facing servers in GCE, you can use FaunaDB to coordinate between the clouds.

I feel bad for folks using Electron. As soon as they try to demonstrate their hard work, the top comments are people vocally decrying Electron's resource usage, not their app that they've spent a lot of effort on. It probably feels very demoralizing when people instantly disregard your app due to Electron's resource usage.

Electron is a very easy way to develop applications, and it's definitely doing something right. I've written Gtk (my preference) and Qt for ages, and developing stuff in Electron was mind-blowingly fast, trivial to debug, and trivial to produce packaged binaries for multiple platforms. It's very difficult to achieve a similar development experience with native toolkits, and I think we'll continue seeing more Electron apps until native toolkits offer a comparable development experience.
If you could turn the whole web into a vibrant, engaged, participatory community and do it all on your platform, then suddenly you're rivaling Facebook. That's a $100B business right there.

It's just that annotations, by themselves, fail to do that. Their VCs must've been betting either on some new killer feature that would come out, or that users would react to the existing annotation product differently than they did. For a VC, though, "could rival Facebook" is often more important than "has a small chance of doing so".
It's not a direct link to file, but a link to their UI which only then offers a "download" option. Besides being incredibly annoying (over a megabyte of useless JS and tracking crap), it kills off many functionalities that were enabled by public links being direct-to-file URLs.
No offense. The widespread of XSS makes it not less harmful. Although attacks with XSS vulnerabilities requires further actions by the attacked users, these are often easily provoked. IMHO a vulnerability shouldn't be rated by its trivialness but by its impact.

Still I think checkpoint is doing clickbaiting, regarding to their description of the vulnerability and Telegrams reply.

Yeah, that happened in 2010, they got sued for agreeing to not try to recruit programmers from rival companies. Right after that we saw these long tortuous white board interviews introduced which serve the same function but without them getting sued over it.

How does this work? Is the Datastore data available locally in every region? Docs don't make this clear.

> Throw a @CompileStatic annotation on your classes

Only if your site has upgraded to version 2.x of Apache Groovy, which many sites haven't. Even then, converting everything to @CompileStatic at once only works wholesale for tiny codebases. You'll face a lot of debugging for anything larger -- it's more like "throw" a @CompileStatic onto one class at a time, and test after each. You'll hit the wall soon enough. Consider why Groovy itself is still written in Java, not in statically compiled Groovy, and there's certainly no mention of converting its codebase anytime soon in the latest roadmap posted on their developers mailing list a day ago.

And of course Groovy, unlike Kotlin, only triggers IntelliJ's (and Android Studio's) code completion perhaps 80% of the time. Kotlin was created by the same people who built IntelliJ and for the explicit purpose of working properly with it 100% of the time.
That's not answer to the parent's question. Tor has very little to do with the ability to host your website by just plopping HTML into the Shared folder you used to have on Dropbox.
It blows my mind why all these smart people write books for such little payoff, but maybe it has to do with man's desire to feel important.

How does the copyright work with a Re-implementation?
As long as the context is what you are watching or searching right here and right now, that seems acceptable. If the context includes what I did a few minutes ago on another site, that is in my opinion no longer acceptable. And personally I would not mind if the entire advertising industry just went out of business, I think ads are simply a bad idea.
Decades plural? You're off by an order of magnitude.

Upfront Investment: $140 billion

Yearly revenue per Subscriber: $70 month * 12 months/year * .97 operating margin = $815

Households in US: 110 million. Households in US w/ broadband: 102 million. So let's say 50 million fiber subscribers

140 billion / 50 million subscribers / $815 revenue per subscriber per year = 3.4 years

Three and a half years to recoup? Not bad! Installing fiber in dense neighborhoods with a high subscriber rate should recoup very quickly. It'd take a little longer in rural areas and poor areas. But there is absolutely no good reason for every metropolitan area in the US to not have gigabit fiber.
I was pretty happy with paying for Dropbox as-was. Turns out they've now broken a bunch of image links in forum posts and websites I've shared using Dropbox since I joined in 2010 (and became a paying customer later). I will not be renewing my subscription - largely because of this change.

Part of my attention since they announced this change late last year has been taken up asking myself "which of those shared photos do I care enough about to go back to the relevant forum/website and update the link - if that's even possible?" And the realisation slowly grew - I probably don't _really_ care enough about broken links to images - especially on sites I not longer actively use - which raises the obvious question, why am I paying Dropbox at all then?

Sure - their product might need to "evolve" but if I'm paying for a pterodactyl and they've pivoted to small warm blooded mammals, they may well out compete all their dinosaur competitors, but I'm one of the customers who'll say "Sorry, I didn't ask for a mammal, where's my pterodactyl that I've been paying you for?"
I think it was supposed to be a platform. I would be curious how to know how royalties work for publishing lyrics though.
This is an interesting read. I published a tech book for a major publisher, received a $7K advance which never earned-out. Of course, the timing of my technical topic couldn't have been worse, as the industry shifted. But if I were to do it all over again, I'd definitely go the self-publishing route. Especially, since I understand a professional editor/writer workfow.

Edit: one other thing that's interesting is that he did this in 2016, about a decade after Ruby on Rails was introduced, and after the market was saturated with Ruby on Rails material .

Great work, and congrats on boosting your consulting business. When I published my book, I definitely got clients and work because of it, that was the real payoff.

I think this is just due to a misunderstanding of how genetic traits and risks work. Insurance companies may be angling for the government to be the insurer of last resort for the most costly genotypes.

If there is anything that it makes sense to utilize a risk pool for, it is the random chance associated with heredity. Aside from a small number of well known, highly hereditary genetically-linked conditions, most people just reproduce without thinking much about the probability that their offspring will end up with an unlucky genotype. This is mainly because there is so much chance involved and a low probability of the child getting a "costly" genome, at least the cost impact of drawing a 99% probability genome is far less than the impact of an additional year of maternal age, etc. Even for the most strongly hereditary diseases, random chance still dominates the impact of heredity on the chance of the offspring getting the disease.

Also, evolution ensures that most "harmful" genes are also helpful in some way... so while there is likely an expected dollar cost of a given allele, I don't think there's enough variation in overall dollar cost to make it worth the hassle for anyone (including insurers), which points again to the notion that they are simply looking for corporate welfare.

For comparison, post 9/11 the insurance industry extracted a big handout when the US Government became the insurer of last resort for terrorism related claims > $1B. My take is that genomes that are highly likely to cost more than a standard deviation greater than average are rare enough that it wouldn't even make sense from a competitive perspective for insurance companies to try to evade issuing policies to such people.
All orthodox Jews ascribe to this.

I'm not sure how you can claim this is a 20th-century interpretation as I'm currently looking at writings from ~2000 years ago (the Mishnah and Talmud) that discuss it.
If you want to do cryptography, it's probably easiest to get into it through an academic career. Please understand it's quite a small field where the amount of talkers largely exceeds contributors.
Alternatively, start learning and contributing to open source crypto libraries and projects, you'll meet people who can help you.

It's funny you can't find application security job postings, most of the bread and butter work these days is web, mobile and penetration testing. Get into security consulting and you'll do this type of gigs till your fingers bleed.

I'd suggest you learn about security, there's plenty of good info and books to be found and try to apply it instead of talk about it.

Good luck.

The best way of knowing someone
I think that the best way of knowing someone is understand perceptions of others. This question is on my mind for a while and in this process some ideas came out and i create a website related with this problem..

Before that, i think we have to know what is the problem of understanding people. Most probably, the problem is that we do not understand perceptions of people.

I think the lawsuits are kinda stupid, but saying they amount to a "proxy war" is ridiculous. Any infrastructure deployment will involve lawsuits to resolve competing rights to physical property. It's not like the incumbents are invoking some secret "we are guaranteed a monopoly in Louisville/Nashville" law. These are boring lawsuits about whether Google can touch/move AT&T/Spectrum's property while deploying its own infrastructure.

Verizon/AT&T/TMO/Sprint somehow manage to build cell networks despite dealing with hundreds of lawsuits in connection with cell tower siting. It's naive to assert that it's these two lawsuits stopping Google from building a service it would otherwise build.

I'd like all formats for both IMG and VIDEO tags.

The gif animations are really video. They play in IMG tags; they are silent and do not have video controls. Put them in VIDEO tags and they ought to get video controls.

Putting a proper video format in an IMG tag should work like an animated gif does: silent, without video controls.

A plain image is a 1-frame video. It should work in a VIDEO tag, just to keep things consistent and orthogonal and all. A 1-frame video is an image; it should work with an IMG tag.
