Love the IA and I am a donor, but kinda agree they stepped over the line here, maybe got a little overexcited when the pandemic hit. Hopefully they can be humble, admit the mistake, clamp down on the book piracy part and get things legal again so it doesn't put the rest of their great stuff in jeopardy.
50k people each donating 1TB in a loss-resistent schema could do it. Miiight? be achievable?
It seems like the last point is sadly becoming less and less true.
I agree, although I have a feeling police unions would be adamantly opposed to this. Similar to their opposition to body cameras.
Mostly related to your line of inquiry, the point on land that is furthest from the center of the Earth is Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador.[1] It is located one degree south of the equator and is very tall to begin with.

Thanks. It's work in progress since I currently implement a transpiler from ST to LuaJIT bytecode which will hopefully result in a substantial speedup. The current interpreter runs decently fast on modern machines though and looks and feels like ST80 in the old days.

Also note that Squeak is not compatible with ST80 in both the bytecode and object memory format. If I succeed with my LuaJIT based implementation (i.e. if it performs better than Cog or the Graal or RPython version) I might try to make it compatible with Squeak or Pharo.
The ssh key vulnerability was as much a fault of the upstream as it was Debian: the Debian maintainer who made the patch explicitly asked the OpenSSL mailing list if it was okay, and they indicated at least acquiescence in the change.

Given that upstream OpenSSL itself would have the Heartbleed bug revealed a decade later, with all the revelations of its source code quality made more notable as a result, I'm willing to place more blame on OpenSSL than Debian here.

Let's look at an unstated major premise here: That it's imperative to achieve the result in question.

Given that the result is, among other things, to escalate the situation and increase civil unrest, it's hard for me to see your argument even that far. This is, at best, a smart way to achieve a stupid result.

That's assuming that that's what the government was looking to achieve in the first place. If they were hoping to calm things down and restore order, then it's just stupid through and through.
I hate Trump but it’s not facebook’s job to censor the president.
Similarly with drinking 3 litres of water a day, or you're dehydrated. How did our ancestors get 3 litres of water a day?
Seems like the first person ever who wasn't dehydrated was born around 1985.

There is not much that a national-ID-based cryptographic contract signature provides over a standard "electronic signature" today, other than the ability to discriminate against undocumented immigrants.
> "I mentioned this in a previous thread, but we absolutely do not want Mark Zuckerberg or his employees to make decisions on what is or isn’t newsworthy. They have far too much power, and not enough internal controls, to be involved in politics."

Absolutely agree. Which is why I also agree with Zuckerberg's decision to let the post stand. I also believe it to be more important to teach people to assess a danger for themselves, instead of trying to protect everyone from danger.

> "And yes, you can have an independent moderator system - but they’ll end up in the same position as Facebook as well, with no accountability to the public."

In its present form, yes. But what if we force social media towards interoperability? As in, you can use Facebook, but you can befriend people from Mastodon and Twitter with it, too, because a law says that this all must be interoperable? In such a case, a neutral, independent, maybe state-enforced moderation would become possible.
Particularly in blue states the public unions have massive power because they can turnout voting blocs in generally low turnout primaries. Since a Democrat is 99 percent likely to win, the primaries is where the power is.
That's an interesting idea, but I think the police are too powerful for that to happen at this point.
Your source provides zero evidence that the US Park Police is lying. It's an important distinction.
This article has zero content. Why were they frustrated? What did they propose? What did Zuckerberg say?

Bad journalism.
People want to talk about anti-trust and monopolies in tech? Exhibit A.

ISPs are vastly more monopolistic than any internet website. In most places, you have the choice of one ISP. Two if you're lucky. Many municipal and local laws even prohibit competitors in the space (by way of cable laying permit denials, exclusive grants to one company for fiber rights, etc.) ISPs absolutely form a critical infrastructure path, and should without a doubt be required to be neutral. This is what a tech company utility looks like, and it was wrong that we undid net neutrality.

If there's any place the government should be stepping in to break up a tech company or require them to be a common/neutral carrier, it's at the ISP level.
> "I disagree strongly with how the President spoke about this, but I believe people should be able to see this for themselves, because ultimately accountability for those in positions of power can only happen when their speech is scrutinized out in the open."

That’s pretty fair. But, will that set a precedence of violent posts?
Can you not bind those to any shortcut?
It would be anything else if it makes more money.
Any idea where I can get data on POSIX utilities ranked by use/importance?
Given the behavior of the police this week, we can no longer afford to tailor our reforms to the whims of the police unions.
I pay about 20usd per year for my server. Domain is about 7usd per year as well. I run my website as a SPA using NUXT.js. I update my articles using markdown (:

My server is 512mb ram (haha) + 5gb SSD. Not too bad for static sites! I tried to run a telegram bot and it holds quite well as well. Check it out! I write about technology mixed with other domains! Do give me feedback! Appreciate them all hehe (:

When considering a use-of-force continuum, I'd sure rather have a family member or myself be tear-gassed than shot. If you take an intermediate level away, sure you get fewer people tear-gassed, but I think you replace some of them with people being shot.
We need to put Internet Archive on IPFS or something similar, finding a single location for 50PB+ archive is going to be difficult but one can easily find 50000 people with 1TB of free space and a stable server+internet connection.
Use police properly trained in de-escalation and vote for politicians that are not actively pouring gas in a fire.

People are angry for a reason, Trevor Noah did a great part on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4amCfVbA_c

Basically the white/rich majority and the police in the US has broken their end of the societal contract for decades and now people are fed up enough.
This doesn't really seem newsworthy.

They should be happy Zuckerberg spoke to them and they got to share their different perspectives with him.

He runs one of the largest companies in the world, and they are just a single NGO with their own view point on racial ideas.

Why don't any companies ever work with non liberal NGO's?

I'd love to see more of Thomas Sowell type thinking.

Haha, tech companies in the Bay Area use open office designs that pack people like sardines. Each employee probably gets closer to 30-50sqft.
I assure you that Facebook is both very powerful and very involved in politics. Just the month it came out that their own research found their recommendation systems were engaging people with the far-right. The execs allowed it.

It is impossible for Facebook to exist and act outside of politics. It’s a nonsensical idea that they could avoid involvement in political issues given the definition of politics.
Well said, but about whom.
And for the rogue dev you have CloudTrail/AuditLogs.

I find it hard to build initial trust in the system, without involving the trust of an administrator + subsequent automation.
it's also specifically very good for respiratory diseases apparently.
The only way to win with them is by being their pawn and completely giving up any independent thought.

People keep recommending Brave, but I keep countering with Firefox. It's getting a lot harder to convince people when Firefox is doubling-down on BS like the expanding address bar, integrating articles/ads, telemetry, etc.

When I see Brave recommendations, they're primarily because of it's built-in ad-blocking. People value sanity. Don't introduce more visual distractions (essentially what the average person gets from an ad; they see it as a visual thing, they don't comprehend tracking and resource management like we do). Make Firefox clean, make it so that it can be easily recommended. When Chrome came out, people were excited because it was simple and sleek. It's okay to learn from competitors, don't let hubris be the downfall!
So are social media companies a platform or are they editorialized?

Let's say we decide to go to war with China. Should Facebook censor anti-Chinese content? Should it censor anti-war content?

I think there are some things that are objectively censor worth (child pornography) and then there is a lot of gray area. My question to Facebook employees who oppose Mark's viewpoint is: "What is your solution and how do you prevent Facebook from censoring anything you don't agree with?"
Well, sort of. Pygame itself is more C than Python.

Everything they build on top of that should be able to be pure Python, though, which is pretty nifty.
I bought the 2015 MBP back when it came out and basically maxed out all the specs, it was very expensive for me at the time but in hindsight it was the best purchase ever...

I think there are 2 versions of the 2015 model, the Mid-2015 one has a trackpad with 'force click/touch' which is a minor plus, so make sure you buy that one if you have the choice :)
I think it is kind of "to each of their own" :)

I.e. sometimes I am really in the mood of having 40+ little colored cuber in neat stack on my table ... other times I just want to sit around the table and insists that I am not the Mordred/Hitler/Werewolf ... the other guy is :-)

I remember meeting Vlaada Chvatil when he was designing the boardgame port of Factorio and some of his friends were kinda dunking on him along the lines of "Nice game, but don't you think it would be better as a strategy on a PC" :-D

Usually use Shut Up and Sit Down as my recommendation engine, because while they can really appreciate a good mechanic, they seem to be most of the time in the theme over complexity camp :-)
It is solely a function of the participating scanners. There is a report a problem link on each feed's page which allows you to let the provider know there is a problem.

There are a lot of times providers simply don't know that there is a quality problem.

Edit: there are also a lot of problem vectors. Poor reception, failing equipment, old equipment, and even the case of some providers that don't care and just rush a feed online just to get the premium subscription.

Crowdsourcing content isn't always easy :)

they want Trump's post to come down, simple as that. The story I linked has more substance but it all comes down to they don't like Trump or anything he says and so they want Facebook along with Twitter to both label or block it.
How does this relate to the original claim I was responding to which was "they have to pay their bills somehow"?
Of all the big tech CEOs Zuckerberg seems like the most removed from reality. Not just on this particular issue, but on every single one, he gives, without exception, the same pre-arranged PR department answer imaginable.

No matter if it's issues with AI, privacy, advertisement or now political or racially charged content, you can be sure you get the "we're trying to connect the world" stump speech
I won't apologise for mentioning Monocypher here and there. I work on it on my free time, I pay for the servers, I make no money from it, and I genuinely believe it fills a legitimate niche.

One way I make sure I perfectly understand the maths I'm messing with, is by not messing with the maths I don't understand. It's a simple rule, which I have broken once. Big mistake[1], won't do it again. Also, I've been at it for over 3 years, I've learned a few things[2,3].

Finally, I do believe I was engaging with the conversation. My first point was that as great as Cryptopals might be, it's not the only way to learn crypto. On the contrary, it would seem the takeway is that nope, you definitely should not roll your own crypto. I get the point about safety, but this feels somewhat counter productive. That and the stark contrast with other domain. I don't hear "don't roll your own compiler", "don't roll your own file format"… even though they're often as safety critical as cryptography itself.

Thomas' reaction is true, but it's not useful. Yet another way of saying "don't roll your own crypto", because well, it can hurt your users if you screw up. No kidding. But he seems to ignore the opportunity cost, so I pointed that out.

Then Thomas subtly suggested that my work is worth nothing. Not what I'd call "engaging with the conversation". That rubbed me the wrong way.

A bit of context may be warranted: the scalarmult error he was referring to I quickly patched and publicly disclosed back in 2018[1]. The reactions[4,5] it elicited where a bit more hostile than is usually tolerated here. It's not just the mockery (I did screw up), it's the willingness to asses something they hardly even looked at.

Someone with a lot more going on asked you a question, and you took 20 minutes to write "InstallGentoo!" Under that metric, the position went to someone who submitted a fabrication design for a MOSFET. Want different input? Just put in another work order at the plant.

Sure you're smart. No one wants to work with you, just like mules are the toughest animal but no one wants them around because they foam sweat all over you. I'm just thinking what it would be like working next to someone like this for the next 20 years. Day one, you're already a problem. High nail gets the hammer.
I really don't agree that it is an either-or proposition. As another person replied below, there are things that a debugger enable that you simply are not afforded via print statements/logs.

From an efficiency standpoint, it would be hard to argue that print based debugging is faster. You can do everything you want via print debugging using a good debugger like in Pycharm or even ipdb, and without having to edit any lines of code (at least with the former). Meanwhile, the converse is not true... you are limited to a lot less with print-based debugging.

Furthermore, having tools like a variable viewer, or your editor window automatically showing variable values while debugging (as is the case with Pycharm) makes it a lot easier to reason about code as you debug and I am always much faster at working through issues when I go that route than if I go with print statements or even pdb without all the extra convenience I get from something like the Pycharm debugger.

And finally, it drives me up the wall to see sloppy code from some colleagues with tons of commented out lines like:

`# import pdb; pdb.set_trace()`

littered all over the place. It's both sloppy, and also really annoying when there are random changes in your git-history that are only because these lines keep popping in and out as they try to debug things.

Yes canny is more portal based whilst Sleekplan is more focused on a widget basis, you can interact with via $sleek SDK (so that it feels more integrated)

I am totally with you when you say that there is a chance that feature voting will backfire for the whole process. It depends on how you use it.

1. You shouldn't rely on up- and downvotes for feature priorisazion for example. Like I did for "impact scoring" at Sleekplan you could use factors like interaction of users, time staying on an item.

2. You shouldn't ask for solutions or features, You should ask for problems, issues missing functionalities and then collaborate (e.g. in the comments) to find a good solution that's satisfying everyone.

I currently writing a best practice (from my point of view) for the Sleekplan docs.

But having been in this orbit for some time I think that's simply a function of how teams want to handle feedback requests since everyone's needs are a little different.
This. Funny last time I wrote about the same large trackpad issue on HN I was heavily downvoted.

And despite how many have said this new magic keyboard is better. I still dont get it. It felt exactly the same as the previous butterfly keyboard, and to me it felt awful. The 2015 scissors keyboard is still million times better. 1.5mm of Key Travel, 60g grams of actuation force was the perfect combination. The newer Keyboard is meshy. I haven't heard anyone that hate the older one, so switching back wouldn't actually cause any issues. And I cant be the only one who dislike the new keyboard.

I wish Apple just make a MacBook Pro Classic. Remake the 2015 MacBook Pro with a faster processor. That's it. Nothing more. Dont touch anything else. Same Screen, MagSafe, No Touch Bar, Perfect Keyboard and TouchPad. While I would love to have the new speaker I could do without it incase Apple mess things up again. And if even a new CPU is too much to ask, just give me the old 2015 MacBook Pro with Maxed out Config for the same price.

At the moment I am worried once I have to replace my 2015 MacBook Pro I would left with no choice.

And for what is worth, Apple stop mentioning their Mac user satisfaction in their Investor meeting.

Is MacKeeper bad for your Mac?
For the past couple of weeks I've been trying to do something like that for DnD. Come up with a system that doesn't have countless intricate rules and tedious arithmetics, but instead focuses on the social/creative aspects of the game, encourages creativity, improvisation, and storytelling. Keeping the rules fun, simple, accessible, yet flexible and powerful. Something you can play with your kids, or introduce to non-gamer friends to have a fun evening or two (but also is capable of supporting longer campaigns if you get into it). You can learn everything you need to play the game by reading a couple of pages, or teach it in 10-15 minutes.

The project is still in the very early stages, basically a draft, but I'd love to know what you think:

Not in any useful sense. "What do I need to turn off this time" presumably just implies "they should never change anything, the product is perfect already". (Which one was the perfect version, out of curiosity?)

I don't know his political views very well, but since Facebook's user base in the US skews towards older demographics, I imagine "old folks conservatism" would be better for business.

Riots have a history of escalating (often by someone with an agenda), my family and town was worried last night that they would come here (several arrests were made), and do real harm. That is they might be less now but from store windows to killing people is not that big a stretch.

I'm not convinced the rioters care about police violence either. From what I ca see the riots are outside groups with riot and anarchy as an agenda. My right wing friends are blaming George Soros, my left wing friends some nameless white supremacist group. I have no idea what the truth is, and don't expect to find out for months if ever.
Ask HN: Have tech companies revoked contracts w police in response to protests
My question is have any tech companies revoked their contracts with police agencies in response to the protests?

I saw this headline[0] "UK government urged to suspend export of tear gas, rubber bullets and riot shields to US" and it made me question if American tech companies have any clauses in their contracts which revoke use when the software/hardware is used to repress civil rights.

There have been a lot of videos of journalists with identifying gear on, beaten by police officers. This alone is a gross violation of rights.

Lots of decent advise here already...be wary of a complicated (fancy product) approach and security theater....frankly when it comes to secret management the KISS principle should apply, with the caveat that it should be secure of course.
Have you read the President's twitter account lately?
In a boneheaded movei I accidentally committed my SendGrid creds to GitHub. Pretty quickly after, GitHub alerted me. However by then my SG account was sending thousands of automated spam messages. Those automated scammer systems are FAST.

Not particularly germane to the discussion, but really disappointed in how SendGrid handled things. I notified them immediately, rotated all API tokens, and tey could not turn it off, so the spammer sent messages for days and eventually my SG account got suspended.
