Hey, indeed it's an example, as you point out. This was the best example I could come up with that demonstrated most of the functionality available, yet remained rather small in size.

The point was to show what this library is capable of, so that people with the imagination of your imaginary co-worker could extrapolate its usefulness to real world applications.

> All in all, there a strong suggestion that he participated in money laundering and was involved in the whole scheme.

I don't see how this proves he had direct involvement in the scheme instead of just running a laundering service for people.

This blog post mentioned he was connected to other thefts as well:

>> The stolen MtGox coins were not the only stolen coins handled by Vinnik; coins stolen from Bitcoinica, Bitfloor and several other thefts from back in 2011 and 2012 were all laundered through the same wallets.

Not much solid evidence here of direct involvement in the hacks despite the bold claims, but it does look like there is some connection to the crime at the post-hack stage...

To be clear, my point is that journalism can be evaluated by how well it predicts outcomes, or how reliably it documents things that are subsequently judged to matter.
> This is quite wrong; it's still considered a crime of stealing from the bank.

The law cares. Like I said, in many jurisdictions this was only recently amended with special clauses -- clarifying the distinction between physical and virtual goods. In some jurisdictions theft requires fraudulently taking a physical tangible good: virtual goods can not be stolen (but you can still be charged with computer intrusion). Remember also the debate about downloading a cam movie vs. stealing property of movie studios.

> If you are using something that is not equally known to both parties, and equally disclosed, then it is fraud.

But the contract is out there for both parties and their lawyers to have a look at it, before agreeing to it. If Google indexes my /admin directory because I made a typo error in our crawling contract (robots.txt), who is ultimately to blame? Judging by my actions and panic, the directory was clearly meant to be excluded. If we end up with the "smell test" in court for smart crypto contracts, we should just go back to "dumb" paper contracts and signatures.

The VAX. There's a bit in the condition codes register that indicates if overflow traps or not.

Then there's the matter if ((char )0) causes a trap or not; on systems without a MMU, it probably won't trap [1]. It's differences like overflow and memory references that cause most of the UB you see in C.

[1] On Linux, you can map a page to address 0. But that you can, doesn't mean you should.

In terms of workflow, faster is always better than patient. Above one second it feels like waiting on the computer, impeding workflow. Below ~200 milliseconds it feels instant.

In most applications, going from 200 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds doesn't accomplish anything, but going from 1 second to 500 milliseconds allows for a better workflow and more exploration (waiting is a huge discouragement to exploration)

In the eyes of who?

To the company and its owners, if my brand allows me to sell an equivalent widget for a higher margin, how is that not value? Just because value can be created or destroyed by a single action doesn't mean that value is somehow less valuable.

To the user, if I derive greater pleasure because I believe I have bought a more valuable product (attributable only to the brand), just because there is an equivalent widget out there, does that somehow discount my pleasure?

What even, is the basis on which, in this hypothetical scenario, we have determined the widgets are equivalent? Surely there is some subjectivity that would be driven by people's opinions, influenced directly or indirectly by brands, in that decision.

My therapist used to say "If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is probably the one you hit."

When criticisms from an oppressed underclass comes in, there is usually some polite and politically correct reason to dismiss them. In many cases, if the oppressed could somehow magically find the right words to say it "appropriately," it still would not be acceptable because the truth in such situations is very often that the real problem is criticizing the status quo, not the manner in which those criticisms were framed.

Or, to use the terminology of this post, it makes people uncomfortable and they play the comfortable card. Because the comfort of privileged peoples matter. The discomfort of the oppressed never does, no matter how much real and genuine suffering is involved for the oppressed compared to the minor annoyances the privileged group can't tolerate for themselves.

i just don't understand it. the idolization of ive as a designer is truly confusing to me. i feel a sense of stubbornness and tunnel vision in his approach, which seems rather amateurish, for all of his designs.

for example, the article suggests ive wants movement to be at the core of the workplace. how does endless seas of rectangles promote movement?! just look at those pictures! there is not a single design element that isn't founded upon a rectangle other than the overall building shape, which has little effect on the internal use. every single picture screams monolith, which is the last word i would associate with movement. the pictures and environment tell me a story of grids, crowded with clusters of people. the design says "this will be a very noisy place, both audibly and visually". nothing in the design promotes movement or separation or any concept really.

and ive always seems to childishly defend his designs, where he basically responds with "you just don't understand". and i like how the article states mastermind in the title yet gives very concrete examples to the contrary in the form of employee complaints and concerns. what was masterminded, exactly?

ive's design aesthetic is based upon gray, white, glass, rectangles. and nothing else. what an artistic snooze fest, even ignoring the actual usefulness of his designs.
I think you are right - they would have to fund the development of popular apps themselves, at least for a while.

As an end-customer in Germany, 30.76% is a lie. Most big ISP don't even have any (public) plans to support at least a double-stack. However, as rumours say, internally it's all v6 now. The best you can hope for (providing you have a custom and not supplied router) is 6to4.
Can you do it safely if you're required to make an HTTPS request to the same hostname with some standardized request (a la CORS preflight) and get an answer back saying "Yes, this origin may connect to me on these UDP ports", and then hang onto that permission indefinitely? The nice thing about having a persistent permission instead of an upgrade on each request is that a service worker that's woken up by a push notification or similar can immediately send UDP traffic instead of doing a TCP (+ HTTPS?) handshake.

Since it's restricted by origin (probably using literally the same mechanism CORS uses) and over HTTPS, a malicious actor can't DDoS anyone but themselves.

If you're really worried, maybe extend it to allow the server to limit the duration of the permission and the maximum bandwidth, but I think you don't need that.

EDIT: Oh, oops, binding to the hostname doesn't help because you can just repoint your hostname in DNS at someone else. You'd ideally need to bind it to the IP, in which case you definitely want it to be a time-limited permission. (But I think that attack is also feasible, though a bit harder, with the handshake-before-each-UDP-connection model. Just have the attacker set up a custom DNS server for their domain, which for any hostname sends you a low-TTL response pointing to the attacker's HTTPS server, and then a higher-TTL response to the victim. Each user gets pointed at a random hostname within that domain.)
The one that isn't abandoned, which in 2020 will be the open source one.

Again, I don't see why if there's interest in Flash and Adobe is abandoning its player, the open source ones can't be made to work as well (or as bad) as Adobe's.

Firefox copied IE's quirks back in the day, I don't see why it can't be done again.

May be the republican party just moved on and it became hard for critical thinkers to follow up.

> His position was that any punishment of false claims was "putting off" victims from making real claims.

Not true. He was replying to a post that said "False accusations should be punished with the same penalty as the accuser tried to put upon the innocent." He said "This has the side-effect..." The referent of "this" is clearly not "any punishment of false claims".

And even if true, that is still not a policy proposal. I've given two alternative interpretations of the original comment. Here's a third: I have no particular policy proposal myself, but I wonder whether you've thought through the implications of yours?

> downvotes

Not that it matters, but right now my comments are all upvoted/neutral.

> Your insistence on taking me at an extreme position

I don't think we disagree on what your position is? We just disagree about whether or not you're correct.

That is, I'm accusing you of accusing peteretep of making a specific policy proposal. You insist that your accusation is correct. So I don't think I'm taking you at a position that you'd call extreme; I think I'm taking you at a position that you actually openly hold. If you disagree then we're wildly talking past each other.
You could also handle the "handshake" elsewhere, like the application layer. This type of identification is already done in other UDP-based protocols, like RADIUS.

UDP is arguably faster in some ways that is handled, provided the application load is managed well.

Dates in Clojure: Making Sense of the Mess
I also watched that video, and was also a bit dismayed. It seemed to me that a lot of projects with the very low Q numbers weren't at the point of going for high Q numbers. The project I follow is Polywell[1], and my understanding is they've been working on confirming the physics of their approach (which involves 'wiffle ball' confinement) and so have not attempted pushing for break even energy production.

The video was eye opening though, I had no idea that high temperature super conductors were set to revolutionize tokomaks. If the potential is there, it seems like the prudent thing to do would be to reset the ITER project, and redesign utilizing the current generation of high temperature super conductors. But I'm just an interested observer, what do I know?

Show HN: Parcels – Package and Deliveries Tracker Built with React Native
No no no no NO. It's time to get rid of Flash. Open-sourcing will make it live forever.

Flash has very little to offer that is not at this point duplicated (or improved upon) by others. It's also woefully insecure. "Many eyes make all bugs shallow" will only work for the most trivial bugs in the most common code paths. Plenty of vulnerabilities will remain. In open source, they'll be even easier for attackers to find and exploit. If you want something open-source and (mostly) Flash compatible, follow nkkollaw's suggestion: support one of the already-open-source alternatives.

You don't necessarily need to fix all the bugs. It just needs to be sandboxed properly. In the extreme case you could compile it to web assembly and run it inside the browsers existing wasm sandbox.

I think all the comments are missing the point. This is about preserving our digital history. A huge amount of content exists only in flash. It would be sad to see it all disappear. It's even being used in important AI research, with openAI making a ton of old flash games available for training AIs.
