Venew – chatbot platform. We are looking for feedback
Hello, we are startup https://venew.io. We are in the beginning of our way and will be glad for any feedback. We would like to have some opinions from you. Thank you!
Venew is a widget. You can put venew on your website and it will speak to your users. Also you can use venew like a chat with chatbot mod.

> First of all, the restriction on 4K has a lot more to do with technical limitations than anything else.

That argument may have worked in a world without HDCP and EME, but that's not the world we live in. The requirements for becoming part of HDCP cabal explicitly state that you must degrade the quality of non-HDCP streams[1]. This is not a natural limitation of the user's machine, it's an attempt to force users to use HDCP-compliant hardware and software so that they can view their content properly.

This is of course not directly relevant to the discussion of Net Neutrality, but GP's point is entirely valid given that Netflix uses HDCP and was one of the authors of EME.

> Even among type professionals, there’s a growing acceptance that for most people, the terms font and typeface can be used interchangeably. Only experts really need to worry about it.

> “For most people in most situations, those terms can swap around without any trouble,” Tobias Frere-Jones tells Co.Design. “The distinction would matter in type design, obviously, but also contexts which involve engineering, like app development or web design.”

I'd agree with that. To save you reading the entire article, here's the rough definition presented in it:

Typeface refers to the set of all the distinct shapes. It's what most people mean when they say "font" in everyday life.

Font refers to a specific weight at a specific size.

Even as a web developer I find that distinction confusing because a single "font" file will usually support any number of sizes and can be rendered in different weights or even as oblique, although of course the result will be less sophisticated than using the "hand-crafted" weight variants or italics. And of course there are file formats that can actually contain more than one such "font" (even from different typefaces).

So outside of actual type design or technical specifications I would say that the terms should be treated as interchangeable because nobody can be bothered using them correctly.

I'd actually argue even type designers don't care much what you call them. Or at least that seems to go for the kind of type designers that actually design types rather than correcting people on the Internet.

It's kind of cryptic, but the Erlang release notes say:

OTP-14369 Application(s): compiler, dialyzer, stdlib
Related Id(s): PR-1367

The format of debug information that is stored in BEAM
files (when debug_info is used) has been changed. The
purpose of the change is to better support other
BEAM-based languages such as Elixir or LFE.

All tools included in OTP (dialyzer, debugger, cover,
and so on) will handle both the new format and the
previous format. Tools that retrieve the debug
information using beam_lib:chunk(Beam, [abstract_code])
will continue to work with both the new and old format.
Tools that call beam_lib:chunk(Beam, ["Abst"]) will not
work with the new format.

For more information, see the description of debug_info
in the documentation for beam_lib and the description
of the {debug_info,{Backend,Data}} option in the
documentation for compile.

There aren't specific notes in the Elixir 1.5 release notes, but given that it is OTP20 compatible, I assume it would be able to leverage this, perhaps with some work by Dialyxir.

Pakistan holds promise as a country and an emerging economy.

Their biggest problem: the country fails to attract foreign capitals, and the local noveaux riche never keep their money in the country.

To many it is a mystery why a country that holds an incomparably less protectionistic stance than its neighbors, has retained much of British legal system, and is more welcoming to foreign capital policy-wise fails so hard at that.

One explanation that I believe explains more than just saying "it is because of crazy mountain people surrounding the country," is that the perpetual uncertainty over power succession, forces rich people to move their capitals abroad affecting trade balance, and creating an illusion of very low capital appreciation in the country, this in turn tell foreign investors that the country is lost cause for conventional investments.
Sounds reasonably quick to observe. Lawyers work with documents everyday.

On the basic training I've had in spotting fake documentation, "check the font seems right" is near the top of the list e.g. in regarding fake company letter-heads.
Except when for some reason roaming don't work for that certain device during full moon. Or after power outage it will boot but not properly and router will work and AP won't.

I suspect people who commonly look at the older or weirder parts of the Internet will get used to the "not secure" warning. If you don't care enough to fix it, you probably don't care much about growing a mainstream audience anyway.

"Not secure" doesn't mean you have to shut it down, it just means it's not secure.

This is part of a trend of gradually increasing production values for mainstream sites; it makes the less polished stuff look dated, but in a way that's just going back to the old days when the Internet was an obscure place with a small audience.
I don't get why I see arguments like 'Oh, why would it matter, its not neutral anyway' or 'it won't change anything' and no one tries to explain why allowing an end of net neutrality would be bad.
I would say the reason why net neutrality is important is the following:

'On paper' the end of net neutrality will mean that big companies like google or facebook (which, according to the website, do not support net neutrality [why would they, right?]) will pay the ISPs for priority connection to their service, and ISPs will be able to create 2 payment plans for their customers - throttled network and high-speed, super unthrottled network for some premium money.
And some people are fine with that - 'it's their service' or 'i only use email so i don't care' or other things like that.

But we are living in a capitalism world and things aren't that nice. If it is not illegal to slow down connections 'just because', I bet in some (probably short) time companies will start abusing it to protect their markets and their profits. I'd expect under the table payments, so the company F or B will be favored by a given ISP, and you can forget about startups trying to shake up the giants.

Ask HN: How do browsers secure themselves from being compromised?
I may not be 100% right about SSL, but from what I know, if you are using SSL, the data is encrypted at the browser and decrypted at the web server and vice versa. If you are in the same network you can read what's being sent between the browser and webserver (not 100% sure about this), but because it is encrypted you cannot decipher it.

I guess this means that if your browser is compromised though, you can read what's being sent or received.

So then, what are some known attack methods to the browser that modern browsers protect?
Author forgot to add that clients also work only 90% of time (I'm looking at you, expensive Samsung and Apple phones). So in case of Router plus AP you get 0.90.90.9 = 72% reliability. Basically wifi is a mess.

The 'long' 19th century that ended in WWI was rather globalized, and we only surpassed them a few decades ago. But we did surpass them.

We have less armed conflicts and their victims now than during the MAD years of the cold war---perhaps that's a better piece of evidence that something other than nuclear weapons is helping us keep the peace?
Agreed on the repetition. I tried using my Powerbook G3 in class, and there was no way to keep up. I would carry a colored folder for each subject, each with its own yellow note pad, for quickly taking down lectures. I never went digital, but would meticulously transfer the notes into those green, gridded, National 33-209 spiral notebooks :) A few years ago I bought a couple 33-209s on Amazon and was really disappointed to find the quality had taken a nose dive. Those were a darn good spiral notebook!

Last time when I checked, there are 730 million Chinese users who mostly don't use _any_ US Internet services, their switches and servers are made/operated in China mostly by Huawei and ZTE. It is also laughable to believe that US domestic policies are going to affect Chinese decision making.

Policy leader? Not after we Chinese declared independence from the monopoly of your US "lead" on Internet.
Absolutely, and I'm thankful for all the hard work you all put in. I sound more annoyed than I am, and I know it was worse years ago before hex came around. Why can't Hex mind read yet?! :P

I think indexing GH READMEs would go a long way to helping the discovery problem, perhaps utilizing the new GH tags thing in some capacity, even letting authors tag their own packages. That would help in this specific case though this is of course a pathological example I happened to find recently. Maybe also having a "people who have X as a dependency also tend to download Y", though I'm not sure if you have that information outside of direct dependency graphs on Hex packages.

I feel like many newer languages have this problem, but the weird thing about Elixir is the 20-30 years of Erlang libs that are out there that are great that people have issues finding. It's worse if the libs aren't on Hex, and anecdotally I think people have been moving to Hex more lately for Erlang libs.
Even worse, in some countries disassembling proprietary software to analyse its behaviour can be prohibited (at least they write this in EULA).

And modern OS have no protection against backdoors: desktop OS allow apps to do whatever they want, mobile OS like Android have privileges separation but don't allow user to control Internet traffic: you cannot run iptables or ban an app from accessing the network.

Please name just one which works for webapps, beside HTTPS.

> So if vendors are annoyed with browser warnings, it's because /they/ are doing the wrong thing, not the browsers.

Homekit is nice but not available to webapps, apps of course can take advantage of several security mechanisms.

My whole rant is about browsers and HTTPS in non public networks.

For webapps which want to talk to IoT devices there is only HTTPS and there is _no_ sane way to provide robust, local!, access to a LAN device via HTTPS.

Here are some requirements: (actually real, I'm working on a IoT'ish product)

* webapp must be served via HTTPS, either from the IoT device or vendor site

* it just works! if webapp served from IoT device, the user shall not be required to install certificate or set exception (because it then looks like scary as hell malware)

* the webapp must work offline (service worker or appcache) without internet connection
* webapp must be able to talk directly to the device, no cloud or vendor server inbetween

* the IoT device which provides a secured REST API might be in in a LAN which is NOT connected to the internet --
so the '<random-stuff-id>.vendor.com DNS resolves to device IP with an Lets Encrypt CA' approach won't work here (otherwise nice hack)

To my knowledge it's technically not possible to build such a HTTPS secured webapp in a local network today without breaking the mentioned requirements.
Wow, these programs would make excellent screen savers.

Not at all, it means the proxy can be attacked over the Internet. Just like the VPN can be attacked over the Internet. Once you're past that it's the same story.
I'm in Portugal but it's probably common throughout Europe. In urban areas having at least 2 and often 3 providers that can give you a reasonably priced 50 or 100Mb/s connection is common these days. Rural areas are harder but it's actually improving a bit. I've recently been upgraded from a flakey 8Mb/s ADSL with <1Mb/s upload to 100Mb/s symmetrical over fiber in an agricultural area where previously there wasn't much competition between ISPs. I think the combination of LTE offerings and cheaper fiber technology may have tipped the scales making a simple fibre installation on existing telephone poles an attractive proposition for the ISP.
>These big warning windows are for connecting to it from a browser, not a RestClient.

Which in my case is a webapp running in a browser :)
Ah, but .ttf stands for True TypeFace.

Doesn't it?
Also, ISPs could make pay both the companies providing a service and the customers of those companies. Just so that they can get in contact in the first place.

To companies: "You want your customers to have faster access to your services right ? Or we could cut you off."

To customers: "You want to access those services faster don't you ?"

Seems like a classic mafia move.
Streaming DRM'd video to a closed system (XBOX, PS4, set top box) is orders of magnitude less piratable than streaming video to an open system like Linux (DRM'd would be harder to pirate but I'm sure someone could lash up their own Chrome to dump the video after the unDRMing step.)

Your first two points relate to what the government actually did with those payments, and not with the social contract between taxpayer and government.

I'm not sure I follow your third point. The pension system is far from generous - it's ~72% of after-tax minimum wage. Pensioners generally live in the same house they've lived in for decades, if they haven't downsized, and it's only the primary property that's not means tested so it's not like they're hoarding investment properties.

And they didn't get to 'overconsume by not putting sufficient away' - they did put that amount away, as part of their tax payments. What the government did with the enforced payments is a different matter.
Would you prefer them saying something like "This is a battle for our Internet's future."? I think either way would be fine because it was written for Americans anyways.

Something like that. I guess I don't think bias is as responsible or pervasive as we're lead to believe. Frequently when we look at a disparity, I find myself thinking "Why didn't they check if X, Y, or Z were responsible instead of bias?". One example is the gender wage gap; we now know that women make less than men because they elect into different careers, because they have different priorities. Different groups have different distributions of any given behavior, and not all behaviors have the same outcome. This is all just a hunch, so I won't defend it too much; it just seems more plausible to me than the current "everyone is subconsciously biased against one racial group" theory.
> A better architecture for a distributed system has a strong composability property.

Sure, you want a beautiful lover, but is your object of desire within your reach? One needs to be practical when playing engineer.

Let's try this: Composibility is a highly desired property for distributed systems however correctly scaling composible semantics is a hard problem.

This sort of duality props up all over the place in general engineering, and certainly in software systems engineering.
