> I don't see anything damaging about it. Yes, it's weird, but so what?

So you don't, probably not having looked at thousands of video descriptions and thumbnails on hundreds of channels featuring bondage, pregnant children, adults and children impregnated after having been drugged, dolls in bath tubs filled with things, objects and persons under car wheels and feet, drinking urine and eating poop, dominance and submission, binge eating of candy or just objects, objects being removed from a body or lumps removed by getting a syringe, babies faking their death, adults and kids with pacifiers, maggots, people being eaten, limbs being removed, unresolved tension, and dozens of other concepts [you see, that stands for something, there is just no space to expand all placeholders, just like when I said "flood" or "targeted at little kids"] repeated ad nauseam, across live action, claymation, 2D and 3D "art", all underlaid with the same handful of music and audio samples, produced on all continents except Africa maybe. So what?

Like many forms of abuse, e.g. mobbing or sexual harassment, each individual act can be explained away, and people who don't really look into things just see the one-off "weird thing". So what?

Then there's all the stuff that's neither here nor there, like making people jealous by drawing a heart on someone's belly, or a million "finger songs", or "Jony Jony Yes Papa". That's how babies learn colors. It's just copycats that experiment with the medium while not straying from the script that doesn't exist.

And of course, it's just the brains of toddlers, those aren't sponges or anything, and quite obviously, if it's not traumatizing to you, there can be no damage. We know that even "just" too much lack of healthy interaction can stunt development, but what's millions of hours of low-effort, "weird" content gonna do?

Anyways, I'm not here to tell you how you live your life, I'm just stating how I live mine. If you're not at work and not easily grossed out, maybe enjoy this 0.01% slice: https://i.imgur.com/MziRRQw.jpg -- but that's still just images, that's without the deceptive music and channel descriptions that advertise themselves as great entertainment for kids. And you can always find something there or in the ElsaGate subreddit that can serve as lightning rod, to say oh, this is overreacting, let's dismiss it all out of hand.
I think it's safe to assume that obscurity is not the only security feature protecting the secret servers. A good defense-in-depth strategy might include some amount of obscurity, along with other measures.

Wow, took them what, 20 years?

If you compare the West to the USSR, you certainly don't know what you are talking about. Taxation in the East block was really not the problem.
You might very well be correct that it's not worth it, but it doesn't counter my point.
yeah, and we see now how "democratic" is Russia now, so your observations about Soviet Union crypto specialists and this topic about Estonia's E-systems is totally unrelated.
I was probably misinterpreting/mismathing the wikipedia entry, it's been a while since I seriously dived into german tax law.
> So once you add a load balancer and several PHP servers, you need to use a network mount for most of your files, which has a big impact on IO performance.

That depends if you set up cachefilesd correctly. Many people think it's enough to do the NFS mount and that's it, but it's not - NFS's mount parameters have a big impact on performance, and having cachefilesd enabled can make performance go through the roof, especially with big files. Without cachefilesd the only caching is in-kernel memory, which can and will lead to files being evicted from the kernel cache...

Same for MySQL - having configured it correctly (or incorrectly!) can make a life-or-server-death difference.

All without having to touch PHPs configuration... there's a reason why a good operations guy is worth his weight in gold.
If one's necessities are not limited to an ssh client, Cygwin has been available for years, is free software, and has a very good integration with Windows (you have read/write access to the whole filesystem, for example, something presently cannot be done with win10 subsystem for Linux)
So obvious it hurts. Look at that trajectory. I for one...
Yes, when you already have hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank, you can probably afford to duplicate many services that governments provide, if you so choose. Not really an option for >99% of humans.
Women's equality is protected, but not men's? That's not what equality means:

Many people have been conditioned to believe "MRAs" ( men's right's activists ) are in the same category as misogynists. Unfortunately.

MRA's have a handful of very specific grievances against laws, not women.

Their key issue is custody and visitation rights of their children. While much of the world is biased against women, family courts are heavily biased against men.

Just as women deserve to have their equality addressed, men have the right to fight for visitation and custody of their children.

YouTube's policies of supporting women's equality but not men's have had a threatening effect on men's groups trying to communicate to the public the need for equality. Most men don't find out until it's too late.

Specifically a group called "The Honey Badgers", in Canada, has been struggling to communicate their message of equality.

MRA's have several other equality issues such as ending circumcision and addressing high suicide, addiction and homelessness rates of men, but these are not misogynist ideas, merely health and fairness ones.

Stick up for men. It doesn't mean you hate women at all!
Is it technically impossible to have end to end encryption with full history, even synced? As long as you have the decryption key, you could have synced encrypted history, the best of both worlds, right?
Ever since Windows 10 was released, you could download and install the OpenSSH client. It's great that Microsoft has actually built this in now (even if it is beta).
I've noticed this dismissive attitude as well, and I'm a generally healthy adult who goes to the GP very rarely.

People go to the doctor because they don't know what's going on with their body and they are worried. They don't know that it's a minor ailment until an expert tells them. I hate this trend for shaming people just for being worried (which of course can be a sign of a mental health condition in itself).

I think the difficulty here is that doctors do have to deal with hugely ignorant people on a daily basis. The fact that many people apparently haven't grasped that antibiotics don't do anything for viral infections is testament to this. (Seriously - there was recently a national NHS ad campaign about this).
Well automakers have more ability to understand their customers; the same applies to a large number of products; as product and even brand focused sites exist that are privately run. Even reddit is likely to have a sub which ties in either directly or indirectly to a product.

I will say that Chevrolet got it right with the second generation Volt. People wanted more EV range, better gasoline efficiency when using the REX, real climate controls with knobs, and such. They got it all and then some. Packaging took a hit as designers wanted a more racy look so back seat head room too a hit but overall it was much improved in usability.

still it is evident watching various models through the years that roominess tends to force models up tier in the size category which in turn leads to a new model filling the original vehicles size niche.

don't ask directly, just listen
You fail on number one I'm afraid, and go down from there. 1. By that rationale, buying baseball cards is buying a security. Maybe if you were the ISSUER of the cards, you'd have a point. But even then, it's tenuous. Maybe if they were selling pre-release cards? 2. So baseball card buyers are buying securities? 3. Where is this supposed bitcoin enterprise? 4. Where can I buy these coins from satoshi?

Has there been a rise in trichotillomania cases since 2001? I've done several searches but can't find any useful statistics (only pre-2001 numbers).

My experience suggests that 400eur would get you this exact level of treatment in European private practice, although I suspect medical reports by WhatsApp would make most doctors fall foul of relevant data safety laws.

My (extensive) experience of South East Asia is that they’ll run many tests which a European Dr wouldn’t order with a straight face but that you don’t care because it’s generally pretty cheap.
Incidentally, it was at this point in the story I went from "hey, this guy has a good point" to "hey, this is just a sales pitch for his VC firm".

Oh well.
I guess the issue when your potential adversaries are nation states is that if they know where the servers are and that area is within their jurisdiction they can have your servers shutdown/seized. This obviously kills at least parts of the network, however I don't think it's implied that the network can be compromised as a consequence of this, that would truly be security by obscurity.

Outside of a mesh network or some peer to peer solution this doesn't seem like a problem that's solvable.
Ask HN: Is a P2P browser possible?
I'm wondering--if the FCC succeeds in passing their awful law, if Americans will develop some sort of P2P browser (or connection), to get either full speed or better speed than before.

Would something like this be technologically possible?
Some others have speculated that demonitized videos tend to not show up in the recommended videos, which leads to fewer views.
> make you feel guilty for consulting them

While they shouldn’t be making you feel guilty per-se, they’re gatekeepers for the public, finite resource of NHS care, and help stop healthcare spending spiralling out of control.
Thanks! Definitely something to check into then.
Does it include an SSH agent to replace Pageant? And preferably with WSL integration?
> It may seem that way if you are healthy, high-earner, and young.

Interesting tidbit that many people tend to forget about: Health care payments are capped. The maximum monthly income that gets counted is 4425 EUR/month of which about 14% get paid in total. So if you earn 10k a month you effectively pay a lower rate. The effective health care rate drops for high-earners.
the WSL does have full access to the file system... cd /mnt/c/ gets you access to the C drive...
It is not opt-out. Everybody who pays has opted into the system (or in most cases their parents did[0]). Catholic foreigners might be surprised that the Catholic church is considered a single world-wide religious community. If they move to Germany they will be taxed even if they are not religious (because they haven't left – which is in some countries hard or impossible). This is a thing the Catholic church does to their members, not the German state.

[0]: It is not a regular contract but even those can bind you if your parents entered into them in your name.
That already happens, since you can already write compilers that target JS: Google wrote GWT and Dart. Microsoft seems to have gone the other way, pulling JS into native apps.
If you make an assertion contrary to mainstream belief, you need to prove it, plain and simple.

Posting a search engine result page is not sufficient, I can do the same to "prove" 9/11 was a conspiracy to enable GMO chemtrails.
I hear the “Spiders are our friends!” episode travels poorly to other countries, and is banned in Australia.
wouldn't that apply to every trading card and collectible item then?
It's not red tape. It's the millions of (occasionally even aggressive) hypocondriacs, careless people who book appointments and then don't show up, über-entitled tossers who compensate their low status in life by trying to boss around their legally-mandated healthcare providers, and the highly-functioning mentally ill.

These people will hog any system. In some countries they are discouraged by high fees (your 40 euros in Bali are cheap for you but very expensive for locals), but those fees will then become a barrier for a lot of people who really need the service.

I honestly don't know the answer, but there must be ways to create barriers that are porous enough to let the genuinely ill people in and the hoggers out.
Peppa is a spoilt brat
I wish. I don't know how to get this service in Israel, for any amount of money.

Most of the lean startup methodology is all about 'determining requirements'. The leanness is about not bothering to spend too much time creating things without determining requirements. Sometimes, the requirements are your own and the requirement in question is creating things (like art) and so you can't possibly spend too much time on whatever it was you you were creating. Sometimes requirements need a very long study in order to determine them. Nobody is arguing against long study exercises, especially for wicked problems. Sometimes 'long termness' turns out to be big problems that are made up of lots of little requirements. You need long-not-lean studies and while they are being done, you may also want to try quickly evaluating shorter term hypotheses. So yes, we can talk about where the lean startup fits in to long-termness and wicked problems and yes, claiming that lean startup is over is a great stimulus for debate, so thanks, OP.
Too many things to list.

Some examples: eliminated social media, never watch, read or listen to live TV or news, don't own a smartphone, own very few personal possessions, have very few clothes, only own electronic books (with a couple of exceptions). Never read, watch or listen to anything with adverts. Moved from a large, expensive house into a rented cottage in the countryside (which had the side effect of freeing up enough money to live almost indefinitely without work, and absolutely until my pension kicks in), changed from permanent to contract-only work, reduced time worked dramatically, simplified diet, simplified health and fitness, and on and on...

The key turning point really is the understanding, actually the revelation, that debt-fuelled consumerism will never give you happiness and contentment. It's like a curtain was lifted and you say "Oh my God, I wasn't expecting THAT!". The trouble is most people don't believe it. Like the Matrix - you have to see it for yourself - one day it will happen.
What would you consider solid references to learn sane OOP?

I have a vague working model of object orientation but a lot of the finer details go straight over my head.
Wouldn't be like a smart routing version of Tor?
Ok some examples:

1. Daddy pig is portrayed as an idiot. In fact, there are no positive male figures in the whole show. Check sexism.

2. All of the animals are married to animals of the same type: there are no "inter-racial" marriages. It is also full of racial stereotypes. Check racism

3. The only person in the show who seems to work, Mrs Rabbit, has several jobs that she does badly (perhaps due to exhaustion) and speaks with a working class English accent (while all of the other characters have upper/middle class accents). Check classism.

4. It heavily promotes the British royal family, especially in the recent movie. Check elitism.

Unless you want to fill your kids full of prejudice from an early age, avoid.
> How about schools not try to prepare compliant workers and instead try to teach children how to learn and think?

That would upset the policy makers and their paymasters.
> The real problem with these rules is subjectivity. Something you would consider offensive is probably not from my perspective.

I'd be surprised if YouTube didn't account for this, or in other words, if they made the demonetization decision indeed dependent on a single person.

I'd actually expect them to look for this bias, and filter out the reviewer, for example: reviewer X has consistently flagged videos that a number of other reviewers have cleared, etc.

Edit: perhaps a better example:

For any sample of 100 videos, ensure that 5 videos (5%) are from a pool of videos pre-approved by some gremium.

If a reviewer flags more than X (X being 1 to 5, however strict you want to be) of these pre-approved videos, there is a high probability that this reviewer exhibits a strong bias, so you discard that reviewer's selection.
Great stuff, now windows malware can use ssh to infect Linux servers!
Your comment has many subtle implications.
I do not know, but I do know that online support communities have emerged in the last decade due to the internet. Perhaps I could find one and bring it up there. My belief is nothing but a personal observation (although I think the causality is glaringly obvious.)

EDIT: To the downvoter, could you explain the reason?
Ultimately this probably helps increase the overall internet security. Although in recent years it was available from a TLS secured source [0], the putty.org site (which might or might not be operated by the maintainers) is still not https secured. Given that probably tens or hundreds of thousands downloaded it from there (imagine, getting an SSH client from an unknown source!) I'm surprised not more happened.
Other than that, thanks for the great work maintaining this project which helped me and others a great deal throughout my career. Countless times have I been stranded on a Windows server and quickly needed an SSH client.

Getting better obviously, but the feet-on-the-ground experience for MLlib is still far from pleasant: hard to configure, hard to manage, hard to scale, hard to debug.

By way of anecdote, Spark's MLlib used to contain an implementation of word2vec that failed when used on more than 2 billion words (some arcane integer overflow). So much for scale!

As for performance, in 2016, the break-even point where a Spark cluster started being competitive with a single-machine implementation was around 12 Spark machines (a bit of a hindrance to rapid iterative development, which is the corner stone of R&D): https://radimrehurek.com/florence15.pdf
I highly recommend MSYS2 over Cygwin (assuming WSL isn't an option). It's much faster and the package manager (pacman) is friendly.
The one that particularly grates on me is the relentless hounding of Daddy Pig, particularly about his weight. Mummy Pig is often the instigator of this, despite it clearly upsetting her husband and teaching her children that it's ok to shame people about their body. (Also, relative to the other pigs on the program, Daddy Pig isn't even that large).

Miss Rabbit is a prime example of the perils of zero hours contracts, she's constantly having to find new jobs, and often trying to hold down multiple jobs at the same time.
Smalltalk as a language is small ("fits on a postcard"), and anyone can implement this. However, to be usable, smalltalk really needs to live in a full featured IDE. Full featured IDE in the 90's meant expensive software from vendors, and the limited pool of developers made development expensive. Had Pharo come around 30 years earlier, we might have seen a very different result.
Took them? Why should Windows come with an SSH client?
Civics and Ethics (and probably personal financial education) should be mandatory as part of the school curriculum from around 12 years of age and onwards.
Not at all my experience: both my GP and our kid's GP (the infant specialist) are welcoming, and the medical centre staff are pretty efficient at triaging patients so those that clearly don't need to be seen by a GP can be helped by a nurse or redirected to the pharmacy.

It's a valid comparison for his point that Mercurial is much more reliable for his workflows than git.
It can't work with network shares or non-ntfs volumes though.
If SSH connectivity was a major reason why Windows malware couldn't propagate to Linux servers, we'd be in very deep shit already.
I wonder if it has some "convenient" extensions to the ssh protocol that will only be available on Windows...

At least they can't afford intentional incompatibilities in this case.
There is clear direction where MS heads.
Can’t wait the moment when they will replace WSman over SSL to native SSH
"For years, Apple MacBooks have been the go-to choice for many admins partly because getting to a ssh shell is so easy."

I really can't believe somebody ever bought a MacBook because they found installing putty too much of hassle.
I feel silly nitpicking critiques of Peppa Pig, but it's Miss Rabbit who has to work constantly to sustain herself. Mrs Rabbit (her twin sister) lives in a comfortable heteronomative relationship with Mr Rabbit, who works to support both her and their many children.
> I don't think it's as appreciated that git's complexity generally discourages people from trying things out.

The irony here is that the model that git internals use aren't really complex at all; it's the poor porcelain and poor naming that makes it seem complicated.
The MacPorts system is flexible enough that you can use it to install any kind of software.

Honestly I don't know if that's popular, when using Homebrew and MacPorts I was always installing open source stuff...
Moving from PHP to GO and back again
That's a little misleading, as a ton of federal dollars come back to the state governments. It seems inefficient (and it is), but it's a way of applying political pressure, and of redistributing money from states with stronger economies to those with weaker economies.
Why did they include it now?
From the article:

How else are you going to use your Azure server? :)
Except EEVBlog videos aren't completely innocent by these rules. I suspect a good number of Dave's past videos that have been flagged are because of cursing which he avoids today but definitely used to do occasionally.

He can be culturally insensitive at times. I don't know if to the point that I would flag him as violating the rules, but then again these people were instructed that if in doubt flag. As the father of a daughter I'm am very much aware that he can be sexist at times. In fact this is why although I will occasionally watch one of his videos I am no longer subscribed to the channel.
Seems like they're missing support for a lot of algorithms.

It's a good step to be sure, but not a replacement for Putty by any means.
If you download and run Pharo, a Welcome screen appears with a menu that includes “Learn Pharo Smalltalk”. That leads to a simple interactive tutorial called ProfStef that introduces you to Smalltalk syntax. There’s also a link to a free introductory book called “Pharo by Example”.

Open Source, and Free Software paid a lot of attention to foundation, on which their software was being built.

You can think whatever you want about RMS rants about Java, but he and FSF sure did paid attention to the fact, that they must control everything, turtles all the way down, as much as possible. Otherwise, just one proprietary, non-replaceable layer in the stack, and the layer owner can control you.
