I typically know the names of more of these apache projects than most people I've talked to IRL (though ostensibly I'm not part of the tech elite). Yet pulsar I only came across on HN a week back. And nothing changes due to the knowledge. It's yet another apache product which has great design but needs either a genius or an army of devops to deploy.

> and they can then generate their own valid certs, completely disconnected from CT

Aren't browsers now requiring that certificates from many CAs (if not all of them) are submitted to CT before they are accepted as valid by the browser? That is, a certificate without an attached CT proof, even if it has a valid signature from the CA, will be treated as invalid.

(However, given what's being talked about (MITM of software update servers), this might be enough if the libraries being used by the software updater are not as strict as the browsers, and don't require an attached CT proof.)
Can you all share your workflow/use cases with this and other bookmarking services?

I’m geniounly curious because the way I treat bookmarks is that they are temporary links I wanna go back to, so they all end up being deleted sooner rather than later. When I want to visit a website I just type in the website’s name in my browser and either let autocomplete do its magic, or just let it take me to Google where I tap on the first link. The idea of keeping bookmarks saved and organized/tagged is alien to me.
>All your email is stored in a big sqlite file.

Are you talking about "global-messages-db.sqlite" ? From cursory googling, that's only an index.[1] The default storage for Thunderbird is mbox format not SQLite.

When I experiment with some SQL queries on "global-messages-db.sqlite", I notice that many of my gmail emails are not in that index cache.

So your evidence for the "lasting consequences" of pornography is that there are some studies indicating a correlation to a reduction in condom usage. This indicates to me a need for better sex education.

This doesn't justify the ominous phrase "some long lasting consequences".

Hmmm this article says a lot without really saying anything. It concludes with implication that we should stop shaming people for posting selfies, without tackling the question "why do people publish selfies in the first place?" or managing to refute the idea that it's narcissistic.

This paper https://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/linqiu/publications/selfie.pdf shows...

> " that selfies reflect their owners’ personality traits. We identified a number of personality-related cues. For example, emotional positivity predicts agreeableness and open-ness, duckface indicates neuroticism, and private location in the background indicates less conscientiousness. These cues reflect the characteristics of their corresponding personality traits"

Meanwhile the article focused on the Oxford dictionary definition of selfie. I'd argue it's far more interesting to look at the urbandictionary definitions - there are over 70 definitions here - https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Selfie some of which are over 10 years old like this one from 2009...

> A picture taken of yourself that is planned to be uploaded to Facebook, Myspace or any other sort of social networking website. You can usually see the person's arm holding out the camera in which case you can clearly tell that this person does not have any friends to take pictures of them so they resort to Myspace to find internet friends and post pictures of themselves, taken by themselves. A selfie is usually accompanied by a kissy face or the individual looking in a direction that is not towards the camera.

Duck face was called "kissy face" back then apparently. Anyway it's interesting to see how a definition on urbandictionary has evolved over time and I'd argue the urbandictionary is a better gauge of groupthink on a topic like this than the Oxford Dictionary.
Maybe. I propose that it's a question of context.

If pot were legal, maybe people would be happy to get high on that at stop there. I think there are two issues at play, both going in the same direction.

1. If buying pot is going to carry the same risk as buying meth, and I can get higher for the same quantity of meth (I assume meth is more potent per unit of volume) it would make some sense for me to try to get meth, or at the very least to be interested when someone offers, especially if I'm not 100% sure when I'll be able to buy more pot.

2. There is also a question of trust. If the government says pot is as bad as meth (both schedule 1, I hear about big police operations taking down pot dealers, etc) they I might believe them. After all, what do I know? I just want to get high. So when I get to try some pot, see that I like it, see many people smoking pot without much harm, I figure I might as well try some meth. Especially given point 1 above.

Same here.

AWS EKS: Fine-Grained IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA)
This feels like quibbling. In both cases, the mechanism proposed as an alternative to collective bargaining is wildly unrealistic.

With a corporation, you need to buy a controlling interest of shares. With the "voting as collective bargaining" approach for public sector employees, you have a chance once in a while (depends where you live, but 4-5 years in most places) to try and convince a plurality of the overall population that the concerns of your profession outweigh the many, many other considerations people have in choosing who they vote for.

Either way, both options are not realistically achievable by nearly any union (ironically, I could see police as one exception - "tough on crime" policies, which are usually favourable to police unions, tend to be popular among voters, at least up until June 2020).

Most people also survived driving without a seatbelt before it became illegal.

Just because something is not dangerous or damaging in 100% of cases does not mean it’s not problematic or should not be made slightly less convenient to access. That prevention is not 100% effective also does not mean it will have 0 positive effect.

I’m still against age filters like this though, because they tend to also block access to legitimate sex education and info about HBT issues that can be life saving for teenagers.
that's not the only purpose of the SDK, we're using it for social login (login with Facebook).
I like how “Move fast and break things” still seems to be the mantra at Facebook, undeterred from any breakage in the past.

There has been an escalation of porn compared to the 70s, but so has also every from of consumption and consumerism. What is not clear is if peoples ability to adapt and filter out the extreme aspects has also increased.

Violence in movies are also more extreme. As is violence in music, violence in news flows, and violence in the messages of peoples social communities.

I am also always aware that here in Sweden there was a significant difference in cultural values around both violence and sex compared to the US during the 70s-90s. Casual nudity and minor sexual references were seen as something funny and embarrassing rather than taboo, while violence was seen as twisting the mind of children. In the US it was the opposite, with violence being perfectly fine but anything hinting towards sex was something that would corrupt children. At the later part of the 90s the culture in Sweden copied that of the US, with English became in practice a second language, so I am always a bit weary of claims that images of sex and nudity will corrupt people, teens and even children, while illustrations and reference to violence are given a wide acceptances as innocent to anyone until studies has proven it guilty.

> If society agrees that young people below a certain age should not have access to pornography then it is reasonable, even necessary, to try to implement ways to enforce that restriction online.

I think you're skipping a step here. It was reasonable when everyone involved was in the same jurisdiction and bound by the same laws.

Now that's just fundamentally not true. The question is, is this feasible today? If it is not feasible, I have a hard time calling it reasonable.

Hexfiend (open source hex editor for mac) [0] and synalize it [1] (closed source hex editor for mac) both support a similar feature (hexfiend only in the newest github release) that shows the structure of known file formats similar to what wireshark [2] does for network packages.

But it's all or nothing right?
There are real differences among them. Here is some painful aspects of Kafka:

1. A single partition is stored in one node (replicas on another nodes). With this, introducing new nodes takes very long time to replicate large partitions, because it can replicate one partition from only one node (leader of the partition). On Pulsar each segment of partition is stored in a different bookkeeper node.

2. Because of 1, if two consumers read different parts of a partition that are far from each other, they will compete over disk bandwidth. In Kafka consumer can not read from replica node. If a topic is really popular and many consumers try to read from it (from different parts of the file which makes OS page cache useless), total consumption rate is limited to disk bandwidth of a single node. But in Pulsar each consumer can read from different brokers. Catch up consumers won't trash streaming consumers in Pulsar.

These are not problems that can be fixed easily. Additionally, in the realm of streaming the difference between Flink and Spark is day and night. The low watermark feature that Flink offers makes them behave fundamentally different.

I'm going to disagree here.

Alice is a new user who has never used Word before. Between word 2003 and 2020, I grant she'll pick up 2020 much more quickly - point in favour of the new one.

Bob is an employee who uses Word just short of 4 hours a day, 5 days a week writing and editing reports (the rest of the time he spends in Outlook, excel etc.). If there's a task that Bob does 50 times in a typical week, then it doesn't matter so much to him whether it takes a bit longer to learn the command (after about the 150th time he'll have got used to it), but it matters a lot how fast he can do it once he's learnt it. Bob literally becomes more productive by having an interface which he can operate by muscle memory, in a way that more than pays off the initial training costs.

Think of keyboard shortcuts for example: they're completely unintuitive to a newcomer, but with experience, Control+Z and Control+C, Control+V and the like save time, and time is money. My favourite word trick in this category, incidentally, is Control+Space "remove formatting" for text you've pasted in from elsewhere; it doesn't work all of the time though. You used to be able to do Control+Shift+V for "paste as plain text", I don't know which version removed that again but I consider it a great loss. Paste -> Keep Text Only takes just longer enough to be annoying.
Tolerance traditionally means tolerating people. This has been shifted (some would say cynically) to mean tolerating ideas.

The traditional meaning allows you to have a society. You can live next to someone who you disagree with.

The new meaning is a profoundly negative one. It means that if you are tolerant, then there is something wrong with you, because you are tolerating bad ideas. A society that embraces the second definition doesn't seem like it will last very long.

The traditional definition allows conversations to take place. It gives people space to grow and change their minds. It puts people as more important than ideals.

The new definition makes ideals more important than people. It requires cancelling people if they believe the "wrong" things, or at least unfashionable things.

Think RAID 0 but for RAM done by the CPU.

Nearly every consumer CPU for the last 20 years is dual channel, meaning "2 drive RAID 0". If you've seen things like recommendations to get paired DDR memory sticks, this is why. You only get this RAID-like benefit with multiple RAM sticks (just like RAID 0 of a single drive doesn't do anything). It's also why some consumer products have unexpectedly bad performance for the CPU specs - cheaper laptops may skimp here and just run a single stick of memory instead of 2. Which means half the memory bandwidth.

8 channel then means the CPU can do this up to 8 sticks for 8x the bandwidth instead of the more common 2x.
