Yes, I like my privacy.

And in this case it is every server plus every peer which is a much larger number of people having this information.

Not always. IP addresses can be correlated with other data sources. IP Addresses changing depends on the ISP. People using multiple IP addresses isn't always the case. Multiple people using the same IP address is not always the case.

> There is no PII

IP addresses can be PII depending on who you talk to. e.g. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/10/eu-dynamic-stati...

This is just another chink in the armour of online privacy no matter how noble the intentions.

"The above confirmation of bank and tether balances should not be construed as the results of an audit."

Hey, look, another memo misleadingly posted as if it were an actual audit. Completed audit count: still ZERO, despite fraudulent claims on the website claiming "frequent professional audits".

One of the issues the previous Friedman LLP memo (also misleadingly posted as if it were an audit, which many fell for) raised was that Tether might not actually control the funds in their bank accounts - i.e. that Bitfinex might be parking customer deposits in Tether's account to make it look legit. Looks like that is still unresolved here.

I'm a bit surprised this isn't covered in any of the documentation, but it might just be because the semantics are clear once you understand associated types. The `Add` trait has an associated type `Output` that you must define when implementing `Add`. The semantics are then that the type on the left decides the output, but that type can change with the type on the right. It is up to the type author to provide appropriate symmetric implementations to avoid the confusion you describe.
So, concretely: $0.40/secret/month (prorated if < 1m) + $0.05 per 10,000 API calls. KMS: $1/CMK/mo + $0.03 per 10,000 requests.

What are you doing with it that makes it a major expenditure? That seems like a drop in the bucket compared to anyone's compute. Are you dumping 500 secrets in it?

They disproportionally affect US companies because US companies happen to make up the majority of this market of news-aggregators that have no own content but make money off of the content of media companies.
For the record, "Russia" did stick. We still get news about the special counsel's investigation on a regular basis. We have plenty of evidence of people in the Trump campaign meeting with Russians and lying about it. I believe the special counsel's investigation is supposed to finish up some time this summer, so we will probably be hearing more about it in the near future.

The only reason it seems like it didn't stick is because congressional Republicans and the conservative media benefit protecting Trump.
Exactly. So how can you compare the work that's required from Intel to patch the flaw in new designs + mitigate it with microcode vs the work that's required from 'projects developed by handfuls of volunteers'?
This isn't true if you realize what sort of "snippets" they are trying to deal with. Google has been scraping content for Knowledge Graph, and offering up "the answers" so that users don't click through any links. So Google rips off other companies' content, and has basically said "if you don't like it, feel free to block Google with robots.txt and get delisted from search".

So Google has left the option that sites either give Google their content for free, and go out of business, or get delisted from search entirely, and go out of business.

https://theoutline.com/post/1399/how-google-ate-celebritynet... is a pretty good example of why this is happening.

> Pay to send companies actual traffic? Pay to be allowed to use the basic building-block of the world wide web on the world wide web?

It's absolute madness.

Some people say that you can't solve political problems with technology but at this point it seems to me that politicians are ruining the web and there is no stopping them by political means. So it will have to be a technological solution. We need strong anonymization and strong decentralization to become the default.

The rules that are being put in place here are very dangerous to democracy. It limits the dissemination of information. You don't need to believe that there is any "evil" intent (I don't think there is, I think it's just greed on the part of businesses and lack of understanding on the part of the politicians) to see that once these limitations come into effect it becomes easier to lie to people and to control them.

We are setting ourselves up for fascist governments to be able to rise and it seems that most people don't even care :(
The first thing I want to see is a culture where people listen to others and understand where everyone is coming from before pushing their own agendas.

What I find curious here is the staggered shut down of access. Why wasn't it all immediate? Sure it might have taken time for parking access to disappear, since that message would have been sent over to facilities, but email and keycard access should have been shut down instantly at any large employer.

My employer is I suppose mid-size, and the shutdown all happens very quickly once that ticket is filed, even though it's a largely manual process.

(Of course I also find it curious, and alarming, that no one could/would shut down the automated process in his case.)
I see it now (sorry the comment was confusing to me).

To your original comment, Yes, in this case it was a "UX snafu". In the future, how many of those will actually be fixed? Will YouTube look at other instances for smaller ones where there won't be a social media backlash? Or will it be business as usual until YouTube gets enough bas PR again to manually fix it again and still nothing gets fixed?

The reason that the comments in Hacker News are what they are is because of much deeper issues between YouTube and content creators. YouTube and Google have had many customer support issues in the past, it seems that YouTube has burned a lot of good will with a lot of content creators, and the only way to truly get to them is via "social media shaming".
A comment on design: I'd recommend removing the large buttons for "How it Works" and "Queue up" on the landing image and instead using some visual indicator to scroll down. Scrolling down vs. clicking buttons (that just automatically scroll you down) seems redundant to me.
Documentation has some great properties as something to work on in early days (so long as you aren't immediately firefighting).

* Documentation always sucks, no-one wants to do it, and everyone knows it has room for improvement. It shows you're willing to roll your sleeves up and do the less glamorous stuff.

* Working on it prompts you to ask simple questions so is a good way to get to know people on the team, and in the process learn the history of the team, why things are the way they are, and where the dark corners are.

* You're immediately creating value, rather than doing bugfixes no-one cares about or having meetings about things which are months away from fruition, and demonstrates you're here to make things better for everyone.
Trump is not required to enforce it. He could exercise the same discretion that Obama exercised, but he instead chose to implement a zero tolerance policy.

Only after months of Kafkaesque confusion and repeated inquiries were they able to obtain a deviation from what youtube is calling their standard.

>However these sudo-democratic want-be centralized state is totally against the history of European has already caused a endless serious of disaster and mismanagement.

How is the EU particularly undemocratic? I'm Austrian and most of the European branches map relatively well to our own federal structure. (Nationalrat -> European parliament, Government -> Commission, Bundesrat -> Council(although that one has more power))

The reason for stupid laws like this one is that conservative parties are currently dominating the European Parliament and national governments, so a direct result of people voting.

And I don't see how being in Switzerland will save you from any of this since this law will almost certainly also apply to Switzerland if it comes into effect. Only difference being that you don't have any say on the matter.
So, saying this goes into effect, what are the real consequences going to be? If I'm hosting outside the EU, do I have to deal with this Article 13 nonsense?

It's a little funny, we just went through a cycle where people were moving their datacenters off of US territory because of NSA revelations, often to Europe. Are we going to see a backswing now, as EU regulations get more and more onerous (not to mention it keeps coming out that everyone and their brother was doing the same tapping as the NSA did...)?
Yes, that one really caught my eye because if an atomic int increment took 35 microseconds, I have some code that would have exploded a long time ago.

I'm not sure what the idea is there, the benchmark system can accommodate small operations, I've used it before on things like single increments or single interface calls and gotten reasonable answers.

Also benchmarking atomic int increment without any contention is not necessarily "useless", but certainly not a full picture if one is investigating using it in a contended data structure. (My usage of it is mostly just counters, where I expect thousands upon thousands of instructions to be between the increment of any given one of them, meaning there's probably no contention to speak of even on production multi-core servers, so I have no idea how they perform under serious contention. But AFAIK it's just the hardware-supported atomic instructions, so what I don't know about is the hardware, not really Go per se.)
> he told me that he believed the person staying should own everything that was created

That speaks volumes. He had absolutely no skin in the game, and didn't have any actual work to do to make the platform a reality. Why would HE ever leave?

It is pretty much a guarantee that if you got tired of doing the project, he would still own the rights to everything.

IANAL, but I watch a crap ton of Judge Judy... You are, right now, through this post, admitting that you had this discussion and that was the outcome and your continuation of work was "in agreement to his terms".

>Honestly, I think it might be better if these old news companies die off, and clear space for a newer generation that understands the internet better. We have 20 years years of anecdata now.

The internet isn't some hip new technology only the young people understand. You act as if old media companies must still use rotary phones and manual typewriters, but these companies have changed with the decades and have adapted to the internet like everyone else. They understand the internet perfectly well, they just disagree with you about how they should use it.
Not only this, but also having the almost identified horrible stuff right now but still using it and discussing its ups and downs because of the convenience and lower price.

The other 1.5% have questionable sponsors, but X is not yet illegal and costs half the price of X-alternative ... so i'm using it one last time. Anyway, if it was really that bad, the gov't would have banned it by now anyway, so ... and then i take another free plastic bag.

> perhaps there's more room for self-hosting your content

You still need to drive traffic to your content. That's the entire point of places like YouTube: discovery. The fact they host and process your video content as well just makes it that much easier for users. Hosting it yourself won't get you any "eyeballs", so I think you're confusing two different things.
Sounds a bit like chat-roulette.
Replying to new content: it's true that Hashicorp tools in particular are hilariously bad at dealing with expired credentials. Terraform doesn't realize the error and just sits there banging away (retrying) forever.

If this is really a problem (that is, you reliably need more than 1h of role time and you can't get AWS to extend your duration for you), aws-vault knows how to mimic the metadata API. This resolves the issue, since it will transparently get new credentials for you.
Yes. The legislation is a direct attack on sites like HN and Reddit that have no content of their own but get all the traffic (and ad money, if HN had ads).

I've literally never seen one of those knowledge-graph snippets relating to current news? Google News now has stopped showing teaser texts for news for some publishers after a similar German law was passed, but "surprisingly" the majority of publishers preferred to allow Google to show teasers... (Which is why there's now talk of forbidding publishers to grant that permission for free)
>The difference between an honest "influencer" and you posting a comment here talking about a product/service you like is that the influencer is getting paid for their honest opinion while you're doing it for free.

You're describing a reviewer, brainiac.

>you posting a comment here talking about a product/service you like

The only difference between unsolicited, antisocially consumerist behavior and what you do is that you're pay to play. Sure, this is factual.

>As for dishonest influencers who shill for products they don't like... well, probably half the people on this forum work for an advertising company.

Imagine the frailty of a life propped up by shit like transparent tu quoques and $38 in revenue plus like sephora samples and mushroom brand watches with busted dials. Imagine the intense shame and suicidal ideation over the worthlessness of such a life

>Me telling my Instagram followers to buy a product isn't any different from Google showing you an AdWords ad for the same thing.

Google's game is to be large enough that this process can almost be tolerable, while remaining bureaucratically impersonal yet targeted to the ad recipient's consumer profile. It's also eminently avoidable.

Your game is to get access to "exclusive social events" in Area City at the expense of anyone who might've followed you thinking you were an actual person, while failing to get compensated more meaningfully because you just ain't that pretty.

>Being a sellout is only a pejorative to hippies and artists. To anyone else, it's called having a job.

Sellouts are people without professional integrity. That's what the term means.
I once joined a company and found out on day 1 that they had:

1. No source control system

2. No bug/issue tracker (or formal software QA)

3. No build automation

4. No dedicated build system

5. No pre-launch checklists

Basically, the latest release was whatever happened to be on one of the engineer's hard drives whenever someone frantically ran in and said "we needed to release!" You can imagine how fun it was to repro when customers reported bugs. And they did, Gandalf, they DID...

Those were the first things to address because they were obvious gaping wounds and I could implement them myself without really having to convince anyone. The CEO thought they were a waste of my time (I hired you to write codes) but didn't actually stop me from setting them up. The next things lacking would take more effort to fix because they were people/process dependent: like no code reviews, no software development process, no bug triage process, etc.
That's one of the reasons I frequent this site, so I don't have to wade through dozen bad homepages laden with adds to find interesting articles.

And it is also why I used RSS in the past but I wonder how that will be handled.
7) FSS did not actually verify the liabilities:

Based on the numerous downvotes, it seems many people didn't actually read the PDF in question. The quote is directly from the report and at no point does FSS claim they verified the USDT half of the claims, only that bank accounts on a particular day held a specified dollar amount.
I don't know how to fix this title, but it reads at a glance as either: Atul Gawande is going to be the CEO of Amazon, or that "Amazon" is the name of a Berkshire healthcare company.

You're right. It does indeed make it harder. Why add an unpleasant general assertion ('most') about EU critics? Can you say what proportion of the 17.5 million EU critics who voted for their country to leave the EU, are 'straight up racists'? And how are you so sure?

You and others who replied to my comment have rightfully pointed out that America's anti-immigration policies have primarily been rooted in racism. Granted. That said, I think you've responded to a point that is related to but different from mine. My observation is that the rhetoric around immigration has noticeably evolved from "Those people aren't allowed in" to also include "The only people who can rightfully be here are already here." The difference is subtle but real, and it has been accompanied by a lot of historical revisionism around the idea that America isn't a country of or for immigrants at all and never really was. That's simply not true, regardless of the racism issues, and I think it's a somewhat radical perspective.
I saw this trend recently on various websites. Maybe it's born out of (unjustified?) fear that people don't scroll below the fold?
