Brave? It would have to be a desperate government pretty much anywhere in the world.

When Arab Spring kicked off, the Egyptian government responded to protests by shutting down the internet under the apparent delusion that lack of coverage and coordination would mean the protests didn't amount to much, and loss of internet definitely wouldn't be taken as a sign something much bigger than usual was going on. It was the moment I thought they were finished.

I don't think the Togo government - a dynasty in power for half a century - will be around for much longer either.

The one advantage that I can think of is this can run on websites that are in development and not accessible to something running in the cloud. A lot of enterprise websites have their dev/stage behind a VPN and being able to run this against those without having to find out how to jump through hoops would be really nice (which is looks like this is capable of doing since you just need to feed it a URL). On top of that you also don't have to worry about what they're doing with the data output by the program on their server.
I don't use it, but I think the most reliable method for the end user is to shoot film and keep the negatives. Short of a fire, a film negative for modern film is pretty robust.

Good luck.
I also use that billing strategy happily. There's another detail that helps with 'training' new clients on good payment behaviour - give them a small % discount on the next milestone if they pay early on the first.

Do any businesses still have the old credit card impression machines? Where you run a pressure roller over the card to make a copy of the numbers on a multi-part carbonless form? Because my most recent card doesn't have the raised info on it to take an impression.
I don't think machines currently have enough contextual information to be able to drive fully automated. Case in point: the limitations mentioned in the article.

I don't think you can compare human cognition and driving abilities to current AI/Hardware, since the roads and all the information to drive are geared towards humans.

This being said: I do believe fully automated cars will come, but the 2 conditions I mentioned are prerequisites (in my opinion).
Ditto on the sitebulb love. It's a well-done product and a welcome challenger to the status-quo of SEO software out there.

I will say the cost gives me hesitation but you've put a lot of work into it so I understand the justification.

nothing is 100% secure. no matter how many audits you do.

However, not having 2fa on email server story.. what happen? Was email server directly on internet? (who has mail gateways right??) or was owa configured without 2fa. Those 2 things should come out in any pentest or external network audit. Seems a bit silly oversight. That being said. i repeat, nothing is 100% secure.

99.8% of people working at this company dont know anything about security is very inaccurate. They do have a big team of hackers (40+) besides all of their security officers, auditors and whatnot. So i think ,as they really push for the cyber side of things also, they will have a little more aware people. And really, i think these companies should practice what they preach. If they miss such a missconfiguration on their own servers, why trust them auditing mine????

I think what I mean is that even non-American brands will adjust their cars for the American market in such a way that to my eyes, it makes the car super ugly - but I guess it must be making them attractive to Americans, and I would love to understand why/how.

Case in point:

2013 Nissan Qashqai, as seen in EU:

https://www.ledperf.co.uk/images/models/W500/qashqai_nissan_...

2013 Nissan Rogue(so Qashqai adjusted for the American market):

https://cars.usnews.com/static/images/Auto/izmo/353341/2013_...

It's the exact same car. Yet the American version gets this attrocious front, the overgrown grille and these lights that don't really go anywhere and that don't look like anything.

Again, this is my European taste speaking - if any Americans read this and they find the Rogue attractive but the Qashqai horrible - please, please tell me why it is so.
Computation power and reliability.

Visual identification algorithms are not fast enough to keep up with driving, let alone distance, direction, and speed inference. Speeding them up is a largely parallel job, but cars don't have the space/power/temperature-controlled/vibration-free environment to support the necessary hardware.

>unemployment is low

Yes, but many people have been designsted as "having stopped looking for work", which means the statistic doesn't count them.

Additionally, those who are employed perhaps are underemployed, working as an Uber driver or bartender or chipotle or etc.

>the economy has improved

For the top 6% of Americans that are millionaires, it absolutely has improved. Most of their income is from capital gains, dividends, and business equity.

The average person with student loans has almost none of these things. They are relying on a wage from a job that requires them usually to pay rent, own a car, buy a monthly transport card, and so on.

When you are only making $1400-2000 per month after tax, and $1,000 of that is out the door on work-related expenses alone (rent, transport, insurance, phone), there isn't much left over for a $300 per month student loan payment.

Thanks for posting this to Hacker News! Very interesting interview covering all aspects of the animal welfare movement. I'm passing on the link to my activist daughters and nieces.
That sounds like

1. your VPN provider is giving you an actual public IP address (??)

2. people are scanning your computer for NTP vulnerabilities or something (this happens if you have a public IP, regardless of network)

3. NTP is using UDP and so connectionless, and so Little Snitch can't distinguish "ntpd wants to reply to someone who contacted it" from "ntpd wants to connect to someone"

An alternative explanation for 1/2 is that your VPN provider is not isolating you from other VPN users (less surprising than giving you your own public IP) and someone else on the VPN is trying to conduct NTP amplification attacks using you: https://blog.cloudflare.com/understanding-and-mitigating-ntp...

In either case, the solution is basically to make your ntpd not listen for requests from other machines and only handle time from your local computer + initiating requests to time.apple.com or whatever your chosen NTP server is. It shouldn't be trying to reply at all to unexpected packets, even to send a refusal message (again, because UDP is connectionless, it's easy for an attacker on your LAN to send spoofed packets and convince you to send replies to some random computer on the internet, and I guess on this VPN, other customers are your LAN). I'm surprised that macOS's default NTP server isn't configured this way out-of-the-box, though.

This looks really good. My only comment I have is that if I am purchasing a piece of desktop software I expect there to be at least the option of an annual license.

Monthly feels more like a service than a product and I think of desktop software as a product.

But I realize Desktop software pricing is evolving so this may just be old school thinking on my part.

Also, if I'm a Mac user (I am) I expect to be able to buy / pay through the app store. I know it sucks because Apple takes a huge cut but there is a level of trust (misplaced or not) and ease of use that comes with the app store. I am much more likely to use an app if it is in there. Just like on Linux I am much more likely to use an app if it is in a package manager.

Speaking of that, I don't know what desktop framework was used but, is there anything preventing a Linux version?

This article is about weak men, men who are too lazy and slothful to shoulder responsibilities like running the household finances. Such men are more like children, doing the minimal amount possible, so lacking in initiative and organization that they are unable to even hire a cleaning service. Saying this is about "understanding" "emotional labor" is wrong because it lets weak, child-like men off the hook too easily for their failings. They are just lazy and ineffectual.
Usually, you can just force a resync instead. Refresh button is needed for the situations when your application doesn't know its state is wrong, but the user does - which does happen whenever your app is displaying the state of a shared resource it doesn't own, like files on disk.
How is this related to the post?
If you're trying to rescue existing code with type annotations, Numba can be a good solution. I think Cython has a better build story for shipping libraries though. I think users need Numba if you use it -- that's not true with Cython.

If you're writing fresh code, I think Cython is much better. Numba doesn't really give you a language to work in. With Cython you can basically write C or C++ --- you can declare structs, manage pointers, even have C++ classes with templates if you want. This hash table does similar work to Google's dense_hash_map, with similar performance: https://github.com/explosion/preshed/tree/master/preshed . I think it's hard to write something like this with Numba.

Inter-vehicle communication is not immune from that also. But it is a necessary condition, in the same way the air traffic control towers help orchestrate flight and access to airspace.
To be fair, the compact/subcompact SUV craze we see here is Europe is a bit of a design fad too - most of these have no significant advantage over the equivalent compact hatchback, and cost more to buy and run.

>They're the finance ministers of members country. For them to be there someone has to vote in the respective governments...

They don't keep records of what is said there, there is no official voting process, the pressures and blackmails inside the room are kept mum, and the decisions are then carried on.

This is not indirect democracy in the sense a parliament of representatives are -- this still has procedures, official records, transparency etc.

This is having your representatives participate in behind-closed-doors deals, and then present decisions taken in them as fait accompli.

The Trouble with Keeping ‘Wikipedia’s Evil Twin’ Online
Price is always a difficult one trying to get the cost/value balance right. We did some pricing sensitivity testing before launch so I'm hopeful we've not got it too wrong.

Regarding Crawl Maps, yeah it does have some limitations on, which I've written about here - https://sitebulb.com/resources/guides/crawl-maps-faqs/

Although from your comment I think you might be thinking it is a link map, rather than a crawl map. So with the Crawl Map it is mapping out how each URL/node was found when the crawler traversed the site. So each node will only ever have one edge/link.

A link map ends up a LOT more messy, although it's on our roadmap to try and build one of these too!
Requiring a warrant seems like an action many cops could not care less about nevertheless.

For one, there are tons of loopholes, from border searches to "evidence of criminal activity" (dead easy to "prove" for a black/latino/poor person and have the court agree), and unless you can afford a good lawyer, good luck trying to prove your rights were violated:

Not to mention that warrants are not that difficult to obtain either -- except in the movies.
That's the reason why they did it. But that doesn't change my point on keeping it simple.
> the latter (ADM) always stays the same, doesn't it?

On spacetimes where it is defined, yes, I believe it does.
> On cloud software that's simply not possible, due to the way that everything is scheduled.

As someone who works in cloud software this makes me cringe a little.

I have no doubt this is how existing cloud SEO crawlers work but with elastic scaling, web sockets, and serverless there is no reason why this has to be true.

It is not a limitation of cloud software. It is a sign of devs and/or product owners deciding making instant results is not a priority for the product.

Edit: I hear that a lot from industries that are not intimately familiar with web apps. "You can't do that on the cloud"... a typical web software engineer will not be able to do it but there are people out there who can. They are more expensive than your typical developer but if depending on your product they are worth it.

Unrelated to the OP, but I think zero-configuration doesn't mean "you cannot configure it", rather "you shouldn't have to configure it". In that sense, yes(1) is "zero configuration".
If it is any indication, I'm the same KGIII that has been online since, well, before it was world wide. Never have I made a comment, or not made one, based on possible votes. At least not that I can recall, I used to drink and post. So, I may have, I just don't remember it.

So, I mean everything I say.

I have moderated my own posts to fit site guidelines, but I say what I have to say, bugger the votes.

So...

I agree, computers are tools to empower individuals in ways they've never been able to achieve in all of prior history, at lest on a mass scale.

To do so, they need to be able to get maximum usage from their devices. They need control of their data and their systems. Sure, they might make a few bucks writing blog posts, but the real power is in creation and, doing so requires skill and options.

This dumbing down of devices is a disincentive to learn. Dumb devices beget dumb users. Dumb users don't create, they consume. Sure, some exceptions exist, but this is generally true.

Dumb users are subservient to dumb devices.

So, along with my selfish goal of wanting to have more control over my devices, I guess there's an altruistic reason.

Maybe it really is time for a Bring Back The Buttons campaign? I could probably write a few essays on the subject.

From the 90s until about the mid 2000s, kids to me, there was a whole generation that actually understood computers, beyond just being able to open Office. They could put them together, understood ECC and RAM, built their own cooling systems, programmed what they needed, and devoured open source like it was a new religion.

Then... Well, then came the smartphone. I don't even regularly use my smartphone. I probably should. Maybe it will help me understand the next generation's viewpoints?

I don't know... We did pretty well for a while. People were even educating themselves. They created new and wonderful things.

I think I'll try formalizing this stuff into an essay and linking to it in a few days. Right now, it's rambling.

It is something I've pondered for a while. There's more to ponder and try to make sense of. This is meandering a bit too far off topic for the thread. Bring back our options and presences. Bring back our documentation. Encourage, no demand, people learn. You have to learn to use every other tool, a computer is no different. And yes, yes it is a tool. Even the network is a tool, a tool to facilitate exchanging information.

Man, I so hate the idea of having to write software. I really hate programming. I'll have to come up with a more practical example than VLC.
First, that article is apparently a re-post, is it an old story? If so what motivation was there to re-post it if not political timing?

Second, nobody with a rational mind, nobody with critical thinking skills, would ever or has ever asked that question. Carrying guns is not about reducing crime.

The right to carry firearms is about empowering an individual to be less helpless in their own life in the case of a crime committed against them.

It is a constant fraud of the anti-gun crowd to suggest that respecting the right to self defense and the right to carry arms is somehow indoctrination into a public defense agency. And it speaks volumes about the way they really think about freedom or an individual's liberty.

It is a proven fact that carrying a gun visibily will reduce the risk of a person being assaulted in various ways by strangers on the street. If you want to fund a proper study we can doubly prove this. The visible presence of a firearm changes the way people behave. People who would behave in anti-social and criminal ways will think twice if they see their victim has a gun on their hip. I promise.

That's not saying there aren't occasional freak exceptions. Some people's lives are so rotten they are aching to throw them away and take a few of us out with them. You can't do anything to stop them. That's what being free is, people are free to turn into monsters. What you can do is remain empowered to put them down if they become so rabid.

Sorry for the lengthy comment. Protecting everyone's right to arm themselves is more important than any other aspect of this subject.
Yep exactly. All crawls are stored locally so there is no data issue to worry about.
Edit: Personally, i find it a bit ridiculous the fact that people always find ways to blame other people for their own problems - in this case, someone is THINKING too much, and that somehow is someone else's fault?

If you want help, ASK FOR HELP. Otherwise, we're being chauvinistic if we even offer. This is what society has devolved to.

Does "Emotional Labor" exist? sure. But people need to manage their own mental stress levels. friends and family should help when they can, but they shouldn't be blamed necessarily be blamed for it.

This is a very good piece that makes a kind of labor visible that often goes unseen.

The article quotes a few sociologists; the concept of "emotional labor" comes from another that isn't cited in the piece, Arlie Russel Hochschild. Hochschild also coined the term "the second shift" to refer to the wildly uneven gendered division of labor.
