All of those attempts to provide a hosting service on the darknet are doomed to fail, because they are a huge target and have many people constantly berating the servers with requests trying to get in. I know setting up a hidden service is not for the faint hearted, but there's nothing stopping people reading Tor's manpages and diving in, figuring out how to host a .onion. It can't be that hard surely.

Doing mitigations on the server to avoid leaking the true location of the service could be tricky however, and requires you to do defense in depth. Apache is infamous for leaking details about the server.
It'd be even easier, since the decision makers they were attempting to influence wouldn't have any need to worry about the appearance of propriety to secure reelection, and would be less likely to have a pre-existing set of biases.
They didn't "steal" anything. If you mean copyright infringement, say "copyright infringement". There's no scarcity involved-- nobody lost the use or ownership of any physical article-- so nothing was "stolen".

re: your business model being sustainable if the current "industry" goes away - Maybe that ship has sailed. You can't make a living being a buggy whip manufacturer or an elevator operator anymore either.
That’s never part of the thought experiment. The trolley problem isn’t asking whether you should risk one life or risk 100 lives. It’s asking what you would do in a situation that you were placed into.
Ahead-of-time vs Just-in-time is a more accurate description.

In this case, there's no evidence that precompiling is faster in theory -- let alone in practice. In the JS framework benchmark suite, SolidJS and InfernoJS performance is almost identical (with SolidJS having a much larger margin for error in most tests).

This is the BEST possible case for precompiling too. In the real world, JITs take a long time to warm up (a couple hundred executions before all the optimizations kick in). With the vDom, you warm up ONE set of code that then runs forever. With the precompile, it has to warm up for EVERY new component and potentially slightly different codepaths within the same component.

The JS framework benchmark reuses the same components for everything which is a huge advantage to precompiled frameworks while not having much impact on vDom ones (as the actual components in both cases usually won't optimize very much due to being polymorphic).

Gilead's remdesivir shows modest improvement in moderate Covid-19 patients
Or a phone with a removable battery. I am personally disappointed by that one. A lot of phones are skimping on internal batteries these days and it kills the life of the phone fairly quickly.

The previous phone I had, since I had been burned repeatedly by phones I was otherwise happy with but the internal battery didn't last a year, I decided to shop around for the few remaining Android phones with decent performance that had an easily replaceable battery. I had to pick a model from late 2016.
But for copyright to mean something and for the authors to get paid IA's emergency library can't become the norm right? If they don't enforce limits on the number of copies what does it matter that they monitor the number of copies.

Numbers are on par with what Bloomberg is reporting. Maybe comment with source to the millions of layoffs in the tech industry?
This is quite false! The mere fact that someone asks how to be a hacker shows they are curious.

A true hacker asks a lot of questions. Lots and lots of questions. The longer you hack, the more obscure, interesting, and fascinating the questions become.

In fact, a key part of becoming a hacker is figuring out the right questions to ask. You learn to do so by asking the wrong questions. As you gain experience, revisiting old questions can lead to beautiful solutions.

Another important aspect of being a hacker is sharing knowledge! Hacking is about learning. A lot of what I learned is from reading what others have wrote. Also by failing and experimenting.

When I was a kid, I did ask my friends "how do i become a hacker" and "how do I hack". I'm glad I did, because I've been enjoying the journey ever since.
This also might open many landlords eyes to how ugly their situations can get when they want to remove a tenant in Oakland/SF/Berkeley even if a tenant stops paying rent. I have two friends who are currently refusing to leave in-law units and it is quickly getting bad for their landlords ($30k deal to get one of them to leave).
That said I totally welcome this, part of the reason why our communities suck in the bay area is because everyone is renting. Owners have a vested interest in creating a nice place to live while landlords and renters have less reasons to care.
Recent events reminded me of an old McSweeney’s piece [0] on the clever use of grammatical forms to remove any implication of agency or culpability from a description of past events. When I went to search for that, this new article popped up. English is a fascinating language.

I'm only familiar with Python, Javascript and Rust. It seems to me that Rust is the only one that has "solved" this problem.

I dont think there are any real Python devs who thinks dependency management is solved. However, why would you claim Javascript has a good solution? The inconsistencies between node and web dev is odd at best. Babel compilation is annoying and slow. Are we even standardized on webpack yet?

Can anyone say with a straight face that getting a new JS dev caught up on what all these different parts to compile a JS program is a solved problem?

I dont fault either Python or the JS ecosystems. As pioneers in dependency management, there was a lot of trial and error. New languages like Rust benefited from it and that's ok.

The paid/enterprise-only extensions are still immoral though? How do you completely eliminate immorality from your software/service, other than charging only for technical support and prioritized bugfix? (I take it that's you were concerned regarding community edition != paid/enterprise edition)
> It's not obvious that this must happen

It's not obvious, but I think it does follow from the concept of general election.

The problem is that being informed and rational about selecting a suitable candidate is considerably harder than we think it is:

1. Society faces a large number of extremely complex issues. Candidate X says, "we should get rid of regulation Y." Are they right? Are they wrong? To figure that out, you need to know enough about the economy, about why Y exists in the first place, how many experts agree and why, how many experts disagree and why, etc. Just for this one issue, it will take hours. If you want to make an informed choice between two competent candidates, there's no way it will take you less than a week of intensive, full time study. At this point, you should damn well be getting paid for the effort.

2. How do you evaluate the character of a candidate you've never met? What if you don't know anyone who's met them? When you hire someone, it's best if you can meet them, talk to previous employers, run background checks. How can millions of people do this for presidential candidates, each to their own satisfaction? They can't.

3. How do you negotiate with fellow voters? If I want some things and you want some things, and we both need to agree on a candidate, the candidate I would pick in my corner and the candidate you would pick in your corner may very well be different from the candidate we would agree to pick if we could negotiate directly. If Clinton and Trump voters had been able to directly negotiate with each other, is there not a possibility they would have picked neither?

4. How do you get all relevant information? Depending on what is in a candidate's tax returns or on secret recordings, a voter may decide differently. Therefore, it makes sense that the voter would be able to subpoena some of that information, including classified information. After all, if I'm picking someone to run my country, I sure would like to see any classified information that betrays poor judgment on their part. In fact, I dare say that I need this information to do my job. But obviously it is still sensitive, so it cannot be provided to millions of voters.

I don't think general elections, where everyone votes, is a good system. It's not because people are dumb. It's because it scales poorly.

A simple alternative would be to pick a random subset of the electorate (a hundred or so) to act as voters, fly them to a convention center for a week, all expenses paid plus a sizeable wage, and let them interview candidates directly, subpoena relevant classified information, and negotiate with each other. I don't think anything short of that would work. Plus, it'd be much less expensive overall.
Whenever I see articles like this, my BS radar detector goes off. These articles make it seem like huge numbers of employees are up in arms and ready to quit, but really it is almost always a loud vocal minority looking to impose their personal worldview on the company.

The only conditions under which a company should react to activist input is if they have done a company wide anonymous poll (and probably of their customer base as well). Otherwise, they will just hear from those who are committed to the cause (radicals/zealots) or have psychological safety to voice their views. Given that big tech companies are mostly SF-based and secondarily Seattle-based, those internal cultures reflect only one perspective (the far-left progressive). Just remember, those far-left progressives make up just 8% of the population (https://hiddentribes.us/profiles). There are almost certainly moderate and conservative employees that back Zuckerberg's position as well.
Anyone seeing a similar dip in the NYC metropolitan area? I've been casually watching rents and not seeing much of a dip. It seems that there are less units available as well, so perhaps that is counterbalancing a decrease in demand.

Nobody in this thread is discussing IA's massive violation of privacy and the way it entirely ignores GDPR as well. They won't survive any serious privacy protections in the US, it'll destroy their archive top to bottom, as they have no idea what's in it and it opens them up to unlimited liability for privacy violations. First their content knowingly violates copyright in an across the board way (they have no permission to copy and republish most of their content), second it's loaded with privacy violations. There's no scenario where IA continues to exist as-is in the future.

They intentionally make it very difficult to remove content from their archive, even if it contains content that violates your privacy. IA is one of the greatest privacy violators in the tech space. You won't see that discussed very often, the fans of IA go out of their way to dodge that conversation.

It would be a lot of work, that's certain.

Basing this purely on my Kerbal intuition, SpaceX might try something along the lines of: 1- use a falcon heavy to get a tug (Merlin Vacuum rocket, plus big fuel tank plus docking port) into low earth orbit. Very soon afterwards, launch the Dragon to a rendezvous orbit with the tug. Meet, join, head out.

Dragon can land itself with Draco thrusters it already has and likely take off as well- if it has enough fuel. The Dragon might need to be modified for extra fuel.

Then of course it either needs a thicker heat shield or else more fuel to slow down before they hit atmosphere, whichever is lighter/cheaper to develop.

Could be done, but the R&D money for that could instead be put into Starship. Same story as the recovery of falcon second stage.
And it was fun to read!
That's like saying "would you rather get $10 and pay $3 in taxes, or would you rather lose $1?" I think the option investors want is $200 in 5 years, and spending gross margin on growth might get you there faster.
> So let’s not excuse violence, or rationalize it, or participate in it.

Taboos around violence for political are one of the crucial building blocks for a functioning democracy. If those taboos are broken, even for a good cause, you set a precedence that violence works. And the next cause won’t be as good. One only has to look at the lessons of the Roman Revolution that started with the murder of Grachus, and ended with an Emperor who everyone acclaimed as they were so tired of the bloodshed.
As an anecdote, I left the Bay Area (and California (and the USA)) in January.

Amongst my cohorts/closest friends I know in the Bay Area:
- one moved to Colorado a year ago.
- another moved to Berkeley from SF, to buy a house.
- several moved to New York City and Seattle.
- a few moved back to Canada.

In my time in the Bay Area, it always seemed like there was constant migration: some folks leaving, some folks just arriving. Usually more of the latter.

Due to the current pandemic, I'd definitely guess that the rate of folks leaving hasn't changed significantly (compounded with layoffs, etc.) but the rate of folks arriving certainly has! No interns are flying out, no recent grads are moving in.

If things "return to normal" then I'd expect this to revert, but those people aren't just milling about waiting for the gates to open. They're finding other opportunities, and when the dust settles, the opportunities in the Bay Area aren't going to be the highly competitive opportunities they once were.
As long as people conflate the last step's marginal cost with the amortized cost of making a thing that ends up in your hands, we're gonna be stuck arguing about this.
Fwiw I do/have done those things. I have many acquaintances that will greet me in the street or whatever.

There focus here isn't me, and I'm trying to keep it that way: I mean to say that these things may help but shouldn't be viewed as sufficient.

There's something else needed, for sure. IMO only people who you spend time with outside of the original context are really friends - like someone you have as a colleague might become more than an acquaintance when you, say, go to a (non-work directed) event outside work together. There needs to be some sense of choosing to be with one another, not just happening to be in the same location because you both like volleyball, say.
