When I watch a video-clip of, let's say a press-conference, it would be nice to have a way to verify that the video-clip is indeed the one recorded by whatever journalist was at the press-conference.

> The only approved vaccine as of 2015 is RTS,S, known by the trade name Mosquirix. It requires four injections, and has a relatively low efficacy. Due to this low efficacy, the World Health Organization (WHO) does not recommend the routine use of the RTS,S vaccine in babies between 6 and 12 weeks of age.[1]

> A WHO-led implementation program is piloting the vaccine in three high-malaria countries in Africa in 2019. The first phase of the project, covered by grants from Unitaid, Gavi and the Global Fund, is planned to establish the feasibility, impact and safety of RTS,S, when used as part of a routine immunization program.[2][3] Research continues into recombinant protein and attenuated whole organism vaccines.

So, the "signature solution" doesn't solve every problem, but I would still argue that it solves enough problems, that it would be worth spending resources on trying to implement it.
even considering puppet etc things weren't this simple, the base image depends on the provider so you'd get variants depending on the kernel and glibc version, especially with openvz based host

now, on bare metal server and premium providers where you're able to specify the boot image that wouldn't have been a problem, but there are lot more people dealing with cheap housing giving you whatever image they baked last than people doing bare metal deployments and for the former docker is an order of magnitude easier to deploy
"Linux would require the user to manually save the file [...] explicitly marking the file as executable."

ZIP attachments preserve executable flags.

Also, symlink traversal attacks only require a ZIP attachment to be clicked. Apple patched macOS for this a little while ago, but it's probably still a thing on many systems - since most email providers know to detect ZIP directory traversals, but not ZIP symlink traversals.

There's also a range of other containers for macOS and Linux which will preserve executable flags if you ask them to.

And we have also seen simple character encoding attacks which can crash Apple Mail just on viewing the email.

> there is no such thing as a list or dynamic array in C, at best one can build a leaky abstraction based on structs and pointers with almost zero type safety

First of all, type safety is not necessary to create something fast which is what the original comment was all about and everything i'm writing is in the context of mmoez writing how modern tools enable individuals to do work that decades ago would need entire teams and my reply to that was that this applies to some types of tools and someone who knows C++17 enough to make such a game like those made decades ago wont gain implementation speed from the language itself as opposed using something like C89. I repeat this context because i have a feeling from your replies that you are taking my comments out of it.

Second, you can use the preprocessor to create type safe lists, dynamic arrays, etc. In fact SGLIB does exactly that, this is why you pass a type to the macros that declares your list types and functions. But outside of SGLIB's approach you can also use include files as templates with parameters passed outside of it. Here is an example i wrote some weeks ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19879059

This creates types and functions based on the parameters you give to the header.

> Anything is better than C at providing abstractions for building games, because any language offers more than procedures, crude arrays and structs.

Also a somewhat decent macro system, but so does C++. However i never argued that C is good at providing abstractions (as i show above you can, but it can be a PITA). C++ and some other languages are better than that, sure.

What i argued about is that those abstractions will not cause someone who has enough knowledge to write a game like the one submitted here in C++17 to make it "that would need teams decades ago" faster than if he'd used something like C89. In other words, considering the type of project we're discussing about, even if he gains any speed, it'd be minimal.
Isn't this the way it normally works though, a bunch of investments don't work out - those are wasted - those that do work out, the people who did the investing get more money back.

Or to put it another way: There must have been some few Hadoop investments that worked out, the same will eventually be true of Docker.
It's been a couple years since I've implemented one of these, but I've used this method in various forms on projects for at least a decade. Sometimes I use a hidden "email" field. Sometimes a hidden "subject" field. Hadn't thought of a "url" field, which is a great idea.

It works surprisingly well.

Yes it's still true. Now with stream processing frameworks and infinite cloud storage, you can have a single big machine churn through TBs of data easily.
You can do a low-quality check easily. Read some medium that you suspect will be different from NYT/G for a week and count how many traffic accidents were reported in a particular locale, and how many reports there were for each. Then call the police and ask how many there actually were in that week.

I can guess what you'll find: What's chosen for reporting is news or otherwise noteworthy events. Traffic accidents may be a cause of death, but that doesn't make them either news or noteworthy. Traffic jams and their causes are an everyday occurence, even if the cause involves someone being driven off in an ambulance.
It also seems like a nice idea to me ¹.
It could also be a potential solution to ads and such.

I can only agree with her answer.

When I compare (software) projects amongst different locations I worked at, things vary so so much. Making those comparison somewhat misleading at best.

I wonder is there is the possibility (or if someone came across) of saving (and loading) all the data of a fingerprint state, or to be able to craft one, modify it, or share it. That is, all the metadata (cookies, history, etc.) that supposedly identifies a user-type.

It could be interesting to have a drop-down in the browser to select a "who I want to be today" profile and be able to see the world from that perspective.

Either with smooth curves or dots much smaller than braille.

In essence, this is the spam debate all over again, with some extra seasoning. (The permissions are incidental - other apps exist that are polite in this respect.) So, out comes the canned spam response:

Your post advocates a

( ) technical (X) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) vigilante

approach to fighting spam. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea.)

(X) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money
(X) Requires too much cooperation from spammers
(X) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once

Specifically, your plan fails to account for

(X) Lack of centrally controlling authority for email
(X) Open relays in foreign countries
(X) Ease of searching tiny alphanumeric address space of all email addresses
(X) Asshats
(X) Jurisdictional problems
(X) Extreme profitability of spam
(X) Technically illiterate politicians
(X) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with spammers
(X) Dishonesty on the part of spammers themselves

and the following philosophical objections may also apply:

(X) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever
been shown practical

Furthermore, this is what I think about you:

(X) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.

About 5 years ago I worked at a small, business oriented telco. The biggest ETL was processing external CDRs, applying call tariffs, and creating bills and reports. A previous developer had been adamant about using a Hadoop cluster to process this, storing all of it in Cassandra NoSQL.

The idea was interesting, but it didn't quite work out. At some point he left the company and we had to do something about the pipeline, as it was crashing most of the time. We did some calculations, and figured that with the right approach, a good old MySQL+PHP solution would do the trick. And it did.

Having switched jobs myself in the meantime, I'm happy knowing the system is still running, and finding people to maintain it is relatively easy.

The ML-based AI (or "agent" as the authors referred to it) in the article never achieved perfect aiming, only up to 80% at close range and 0.5% at long range. After artificially delaying reaction time, a team of one strong human plus one delayed agent was only able to win against a team of two delayed agents only 21% of the time. While this only controlled for reaction time and not accuracy, the authors note that the human and delayed agents had similar numbers of hits per game. Meanwhile, the agents had 4-5x more flag captures than humans, leading them to believe that it had developed superior strategy which carried the games even without god-like aim.

That's the key difference with phones - phone numbers and call are (quasi-)centrally controlled - by your network provider. A simple legislative solution is just "user gets $10 discount on their phone bill for each spam call" and watch the problem solve itself...

People do not take issue with doing something against malaria but with the proposed method.

How could it be stopped if something went wrong? It's not like a chemical agent that you just stop applying when you notice adverse effects. This is a living thing. Living things can procreate, mutate, enter new niches and the only deciding factor is the rate of reproduction. Life doesn't optimize for killing malaria-carrying mosquitoes, it optimizes for rate of reproduction and survival. As soon as there is a mutation that can extend the niche to another target, this will happen. And getting such a match doesn't have to be via a mutation on the fungus either, it can also be one of the target, making it susceptible to it.

How do you make sure these things don't happen? I'm worried that the answer is that you can't.
