So here's a simple question:

Why hasn't the maintainer of sci-hub backed up the existing content up in a series of publicly-available torrents-- either by category, or if that's too difficult even arbitrarily with the torrents enumerated?

Especially now, when it's obvious it's only a matter of time before the service gets blocked. E.g.: "Sci-hub is temporarily down until you fools replicated all these things."

Isn't this a prime example of what happens when USPS puts a toe in the water of the identity business? Be careful what you wish for!
It doesn't mean they are safe either. The difference between these situations and vaping are, vaping you are doing intentionally and habitually.
Sure, you can move it, but how much code will you need to rewrite? How much effort to convert the data to a new database format? And how much more development time to migrate your data without taking your service down during the migration?

It's a very expensive move that I don't think people consider when choosing this kind of solution.
But... the article says Asians are the most likely to be hired and least likely to be promoted so then are they more qualified or not?

You know I think this is actually a good thing. I’ve been working as a dev for 12 years but after interviewing with tech companies more recently I’m done. I’m doing my own thing. The ‘technical interviews’ made sure of that, I presumably suck at them but I can’t be sure because no constructive feedback. Start your own thing, it will be more rewarding, I’ve learned more in 9 years of side projects than I ever did at the job and recently it’s really paying off. Oh yeah, there is no engineer shortage and there never has been, pay people decent and don’t be raise the bar to the point it’s in the clouds and you’ll see there are earnest, keen hardworking people eager and ready. Oh and I don’t know, may be invest in people a little instead too, people are life long learners, they have potential.
In fact, I think that the tor version is the main one and that the clearnet version is just a mirror.
How we created a design system for the U.S. government
As the article mentions in its "Loops" section. It also suggests mapping to `Promise.all` instead of `for-of-await`, but they are slightly different:

Promise.all will start all the promises so they run in parallel, while `for-of-await` executes them in series.
What this means is that someone should start a company and become completely racist about who they hire.
Mac OS X did that in version ??? to speed up system booting. See http://osxbook.com/book/bonus/misc/optimizations/#ONE, which claims it halved boot time.

The key will obviously need to be stored in a physical token of some kind that's designed to prevent the key from being extracted. Kinda like how U2F and Smart Cards work.
I second this. I know a lot of elders who are fairly active outdoor and indoor seem to do better, much like plants need sunlight and fresh air. My grandma used to live in China by herself and her parish was only a few doors down. When she finally came to live with us in the U.S., she still go to church every morning, but she has to walk two blocks. After a few months, her walking has improved, and crane is now optional on the good sunny days. She eats well too (compared to what she would eat in China..) She's 88 years old today.

For many years, Chinese elders are recommended to go to senior citizen clubs, play chess games and Mahjong, do TaiChi or something alike, for better physical and mental health. The unfortunate side of the reality is many elders are disabled and have no one to get them where they need to be except getting help from senior assistance. I hope more families can spend more time with their elderly.
Actually, as I already mentioned, there are cases with flavoring additives and other chemicals in the vape causing lung disease and other problems. I don't have it offhand but google should help you.

My sentiment is more about where I think the research will go.

Or you can purchase a VPN subscription that lets you connect through different countries. I have one that lets me connect through dozens of countries and it's faster than the Tor network. It isn't iron clad security, but it gets around any geo-based IP blocking, and would work in this case as well.
So if you could move and change your name, you would be instantly off the shit list?
I can't help but compare the metaverse-y projects coming out of the VR world with Second Life. For more than a decade, it's had:

- an interconnected world of user-built locations, with near-seamless travel between them

- an environment in which every object is user-crafted and scripted, and can interact with each other and with users in a dynamic networked physics simulation

- a client which bundles the development environment, including 3D modeling and scripting tools, fluidly into the main game interface, such that objects can be created and edited on-the-fly and experimentation can happen live alongside other users in a social environment

- its own currency, convertible to real-world money and back via an actual exchange, and tools for conducting commerce both in-world and on the web via an Amazon-like marketplace

- infinitely-customizable avatars which allow for combining components from multiple sources and creators, spawning a micro-niche of virtual "fashion" trends, events, and blogs

What holds SL back is the accumulated cruft of ~1.5 decades of development mistakes [0], legacy technologies, and backwards-compatibility requirements with an ocean of content. But it's always been worlds more ambitious than modern claimants for the title of 3D social environment of the future, which seem content to be multi-user VR YouTube clients.

[0] I could go on and on about the mind-boggling pile of hacks that keeps SL ticking, but that'd probably drag this thread too far off topic :)
I really don't understand what you're saying - legalised theft is OK because people can choose to retire in a different state?

I signed up for a service from UPS a few years ago that notifies me of impending shipments and lets me do a few limited things like 'Hold for pickup'.

The authentication for it was simple and reasonably secure: they physically mailed me a card with a verification number I had to type in. It took a few days of course, but only someone with access to my mailbox can get the card (and my mailbox requires a key to open).

This "knowledge-based authentication" system USPS is using is most definitely less secure, and I can't fathom how it wouldn't be immensely more complex to build and maintain.
It was just a start for beginners actually, trying to explain concept of the editor/site etc. Please do check following sections...
> I bundled the JRE with my app so the users did not need to have Java installed.

Side note here: do you track security vulnerabilities of the shipped JRE and provide updates when it happens?

Too often, I've seen java applications shipping obsolete and vulnerable JRE. And in some cases, I've seen not consistent versions across a product line.

Also wasn't there some unknowns about the right to redistribute the Oracle JRE?
> 99.99% of people on this site will die

I'd say that it's probably closer to 100% of us will die.
There is a lot of wrong in this comment. While I agree with most of your sentiment about vaping being a safer alternative, it is wrong to assume that the chemicals introduced via vaping are not carcinogenic because there is no smoke.
Do you have a more direct link? That one just goes to Noah's home page and for the life of me I couldn't navigate to the ultra-fast math page nor find it via Google.

And somehow you're going to have to accept that fact that people are going to lose their keys. You're going to want to make sure you can properly reissue one to the correct person.
This is wonderful! I had never herd of sci-hub, but now I have bookmarked them. Anyone know where I can contribute money to their legal defence fund?

I'd think IPFS and similar services would be perfect for this kind of thing.

But then one of the horrors is fame, another fortune both of which appear relatively easy to avoid for an author -- use a different name for subsequent works, make the previous works public domain with "anon" as the author.

For a child to be forced in to a position of promoting a book series, in those times, not much to be done; but the rest of it seems like complaining that your wallet is so full it makes the pockets in your silk trousers pull too much.
This part was the most interesting to me;

There is a final precaution that should block anyone from signing up as you: Readers who have taken my advice to freeze their credit files with the four major consumer credit reporting bureaus (Equifax, Experian, Innovis and Trans Union) will find they are not able to sign up for Informed Delivery online. That’s because having a freeze in place should block Equifax from being able to ask you the four KBA questions.

Do people realize that the freeze locks you out of any service using KBA to authenticate? E.g. would this include sites like login.gov?
So, it's like "Crappy Docker".

Yeah, I'll pass.
There is a lot of space. Its hard enough to spot colliding black holes. And they're kinda big.

i did one of these interviews at a bank. I was asked to sit behind curtain and answer questions . It felt totally weird. you are right they should have masked out my voice too.
I don't disagree about their ability to be in the identity business, but the image of them doing home delivery everywhere is a bit dated. There are swaths of the US where you get a PO Box and no delivery of any kind.
If you move, would UPS catch that and automatically turn it off?
Maybe I'm naive but I think a lot of people consider this, but the benefits of development speed outweigh the risk for a number of cases.
AltspaceVR joins Microsoft
This App Helps Users Detect ATM Skimmers
I think it could be done with something like a smart card. Most people are terrible at remembering secrets but pretty good at not losing their keys or wallet.

Combine that with X forms of id to issue a new smart card (like passports today) or pre-delegation to M of N trusted people to vouch for you (ex: you could delegate choose two of mom + data + brother) and you cover the majority of the population.
Maybe not Google specifically, but I'd love it if the industry got involved in this somehow. Maybe a standards group like the Internet Engineering Task Force or the FIDO Alliance to work out the spec.
I think you're a racist.

Am I changing hearts and minds yet?
Mike just removed the price he paid for the wine (25$) and for the meal (250$ per person). Makes me hope that he realised how hypocritic it is to accept to pay that amount of money and complain that 'someone' needs to do something about the situation.

Everyone is in power to change their own behaviour and inspire others to do the same. That's the easiest way to change 'the system'. Refuse to accept and inspire others.
You posted this after two controversial but fair questions has been asked. Please answer them.
It doesn't seem particularly difficult. A discerning judge, a caring social worker, and an honest doctor with adequate time to consider the issue carefully should have little problem seeing the right course of action.

It only becomes difficult when you also have to fight against the incentives.

When the 'guardian' gets to bill the estate when their doctor friend writes something down, and the judges are listening to the letter of the law as argued by the expert lawyers rather than the flabbergasted victims, then it's a hard problem.

>"All of the pain is OK"

If the benefit alleviates more pain than what's being caused by the technology, why not? I don't know if you know this, but the internet also created many classes of problems that had never existed. You can't simply shut down any new technology or way of living because it's associated with problems. It's not utopianism to make an objective comparison of pros and cons. What's utopianism is to assume that it's possible for a new technology to not introduce new problems.

Also, my main point was about how you're assessing the net effect of cryptocurrency. Benefits and drawbacks aren't uniform units that can be weighed by their count. The individual benefits/drawbacks need to be measured in terms of their impact. One giant benefit/drawback can far outweigh numerous small drawbacks/benefits.

Also, no one is forcing anyone to use cryptocurrency, and unless someone is a ward of the state, there is no justification for removing market options from them, let alone through the drastic measure of prosecuting anyone who offers that option to the public at large on the market, in the name of protecting them from their own bad judgment.
Wondering why the VCs are so keen on companies that seem to be re-doing something that's been done many times (almost commodity in the case of this company) and has essentially no proprietary technology and no network effect?
Being able to revoke my SSN would be nice. What would be even better is if the SSA ran as a CA, then my own "SSN" could be my master key, and I could then issue independent sub-(SSN) keys per institution that requests it. Then if a breach were to occure 1) it would be useless to anyone but the agency/company it was issued to, and 2) I could always revoke the key thereby revoking that companies access to it and any damage they may cause to my credit.
CargoMate Technologies | Front-end JavaScript Engineer | London | Onsite, Full-time, £40K-£60K + 0.5-1.25% Equity, www.cargomate.co.uk

CargoMate Technologies brings innovative efficiency to the container shipping industry.
We’re developing a range of applications and technologies to record, monitor and analyse container ship cargo operations (i.e. the process of moving containers on and off a ship in port), to ensure ships depart early and consume less fuel on voyage. Our long-term goal is to bring the widespread adoption of autonomous technologies to merchant ships. Voyages by ship are legally classed as ‘adventures’. We see CargoMate as an adventure too; driven by passionate problem solvers who are resilient when faced with a storm. We reach our destination by working as one crew.

We are backed by one of the UK’s most successful tech accelerators, Entrepreneur First. We care about our craft and it’s important to us that you do as well. We’re looking for someone with a couple of years of coding experience under their belt and who’s willing to learn on the job, as well as teach others. You write code that you’re proud of as you know you and your team members will be the ones maintaining and adding new features to it.

You’ll work on a customer facing React.js website as well as an Android only React Native app. You don’t have to know our whole tech stack but it’s important that you’re willing to learn. You’ll collaborate closely with the CTO as we turn our proof of concept into an MVP ready for production. You’ll build new features, do code reviews, mentor future team members as well as have mentors around you.

We keep up to date with the latest tech but know that bleeding edge usually puts you in an unstable spot. Our projects are written in Javascript, React.js, React Native and all use ES6. For this role, Javascript skills and culture fit are more important than a formal education. We don’t do whiteboard interviews or ask you how many golf balls fit in a 747. You will get to show that you know what you’re doing by coding on your own machine as part of the interview process.

We see coding as a way of communication, it’s therefore important that you have excellent communication skills as well as fluency in written and spoken English. Our intention is to enable remote working and flexible working hours as soon as we can. As this is one of our first hires, we need you full-time on-site in our offices in central Richmond upon Thames.

On the contrary, a sudden power loss is an exceptional case. Not having a button is just Raspberry Pi's (generally poor) hardware design decision, along with countless others relating to the power system and usability. Making your system entirely read-only _for this particular purpose_ is a hack, not a solution.
Yet another useless nosql snake oil.
OT but can be filed under "Falsehoods programmers believe about Social Security Numbers": SSN's are unique per person.

A friend of mine worked on a shareholder database for AT&T back in 70/80's and discovered this when they tried to make their SSN column unique.

> Because private keys are a far greater tool of proving identity than a SSN, I would argue one should have much greater culpability in an "unauthorized" action.

If you have the technical know-how to protect your private key, and you're immune from rubber hose attacks, and there's no mechanism for key recovery outside your control, I'd agree.

However, people.

That is cool! But, if this DApp thing takes off, how will Ethereum nodes be compensated for essentially acting as a free CDN?

It works fine as long as there aren’t a lot of users, but once the user count become substantial, Ethereum nodes will need compensation in order to serve the amount of data needed. Is there a workable solution for this?
My old employer used the same A/B scheme for upgrades, and it did indeed work great.
One clear downside: you've now created an easy low-bandwidth way for anyone to deny you from opening connections there, since others can easily interfere with your port knocking sequence.

There exist people who are good at providing correct answers and code, but are incredibly toxic to a human organization. They're fairly rare, and if you work in a healthy well-run company, you may never have met one. But if you interview a lot, you surely have (they get a lot of interviews, because they look good on paper.) The risk is that you'd end up with a lot of these types.

I'm not saying a pure audition model can't work, just that you should know what the pitfalls are.
For the uninitiated, how does this compare to guile?
There are a couple other options available to a majority in the US:

• Many libraries have free online access to very large journal collections and are open to the public.

• Deepdyve.com. It's kind of like Spotify for journals. Unlimited online access to a very large collection for a fixed monthly or annual fee.
The article says she had some "poor advising" at the community college and she is currently trying to get a degree in music theater.

Liz spent 6 years enrolled at a community college without getting a degree and then transferred to a school to work on bachelors where she thinks she'll need to spend another 2.5 years. It doesn't really give the details of what happened during those 6 years, but if she was able to stay enrolled for 12 semesters without getting an associate degree there seem to be problems that go much deeper than a lack of resources to go to school.

If the advisors were seriously giving her advice that would prevent her from getting a 2-year degree in 6 years (even allowing for her trying to figure out what she wanted to study) the school should be liable.

He was a very nice person who I greatly liked but as an alumni I'm saddened at the architectural missteps that plagued the company such as the Pentium 4 architecture changes that otherwise cost billions of shareholder value.

This is one reason why I advocate giving your kids (if in America, at least) really boring names. Just scratch anything remotely strange off the list, and forget about it.

If you can't imagine a Kennedy or a character on 1950s US TV having the name, don't use it. Having a "special" name is unlikely to bring any benefit, and may well have significant social costs (plus having always to repeat yourself and spell your name, correcting misspellings on forms, et c.)

With my three young kids I already regret the very, very slightly unusual name we used for the first one (ordinary spelling for the name, name has a long history but it's almost homophonic with a 20x more common name, which we should have just used instead). Just don't do it.
Nextdoor takes this approach too to verify that you live in a neighborhood. However, the vulnerability I see in this is that there’s nothing that actually validates I live at an address just because I can receive mail that was sent there. E.g., someone could take it out of my mailbox without living there to verify that they “live” there; or I could send it to a work address.

Yea, this happens every few years with these sites. They get taken down and then someone redoes them. Sites like this are probably going to be redone every few years until things change.
