Thanks for posting that. What I like about slate is that it seems to be searchable via Ctrl+F which makes it an advantage over ReDoc where search is broken IMO.

We are currently reviewing several API doc creators including commercial once. And none of them seems to have the feature that I can perma link to a certain request (or response) parameter. E.g. /api1#some/nested/parameter.
This seems to me very useful as we don't have to copy the description and type of the parameter again.

You see what I mean when you go to the slate example page https://slatedocs.github.io/slate and search e.g. "available" then you click on the result and you will be directed to the "Get All Kittens" instead of the parameter directly which is confusing if you have more than a few parameters and you have to scroll down. I.e. Ctrl+F is better than this Search feature.

The same problem exists for ReDoc. We tried to contribute a change that supports this perma link feature, but it was not even reviewed.

Any recommendations?
Spain has a big issue which OP didn't mention. We built more houses than were needed between 2000-2008. Which sadly means a ton of the emoty homes are owned by Banks, so if they devalue the houses their stock price plummets. So they are incentivized to keep the prices artificially high.
Well I never... very interesting. Thanks!
Aren't they essentially just glorified galvanometers like the Scientology e-meter?
I suspect part of the explanation is: Part of what manifests as brilliance is early development of the mind. Consequently, brilliant people tend to think, "Well, I was mature enough in my early teens, and surely there must be others like me—perhaps some even younger. The law should not restrict those who are mature enough; that is like restricting adults." The train of thought may continue with something like "There are already mechanisms for having a child make an adult-level decision: parental approval, child emancipation", or "The legal age of consent varies enormously around the world and throughout history, and is clearly arbitrary". (The biologically non-arbitrary age points would seem to be "puberty"—probably around age 12-16 depending on which pubertal milestone you choose—and my 7th grade science teacher's favorite, "when the brain's frontal lobe finishes developing", which would be age 25 or so.)

If the person is also resistant to discarding views merely because those views are hated, then, well, it's easy to see how their beliefs might end up where they do.

I've been completely disconnected to Hollywood as I've found better content on YouTube.

I admittedly like non fiction, and my wife likes the occasional comedy. Both of these are often better than anything you can get from Hollywood because it's more niche.

Using a genetic algorithm to compose music
This seems like a pretty adversarial way to look at it, using words like "power play" and "victim." From my understanding the CIA still regularly uses polygraphs. I have to wonder why that is, and it may have nothing to do with the polygraph itself. Maybe it's more just making sure someone has nothing to hide? I'm also not sure what "beating" the polygraph means in the context of them not working in the first place. How do you beat something that doesn't do what it purports to do?
It is a big issue, and it's not surprising some hackers wouldn't understand how big.

A lot of people, most even, have no idea what is happening on about 90% of their screen, about 90% of the time. And they're used to being forever in the dark about what their machine is doing and why. They expect it.

They know they're writing an email and they can see the box they're typing into, but other components, like the status bar, title bar, and attachments field, are outside their sphere of perception. At least or especially when they're not actively thinking about attaching a file intentionally, say.

It's like a serious chess player, who sees the whole board and thinks multiple moves ahead, compared to a novice who learnt the rules yesterday and can only see the horsey piece and the pieces immediately surrounding the horsey piece.

These users have a checklist approach to using their computer:

Step 1: click this

Step 2: that happens

Step 3: Did what I wanted to happen, happen?

Step 4: there is no step 4

The professor who didn't realize there's a "fullscreen" button when showing videos to the class is the same one who can't perceive the attachments field and will send a file called 'passwd'. And if the mail client puts up an alert that says, "Are you sure you want to attach and send a file called passwd to p0wn.me@gmail.com?", they'll click 'Yes' and get on with their day.

Land tax also does not allow you to simply exist - you have to make a profit to pay the tax. You can't just grow your own food and ignore the economy. It also comes with perverse incentives, like opposing anything that might raise property values unless you want to sell.

Perhaps it's a uniquely American view, having no connection to the land you live on, looking at it as just an economic resource to be 'allocated'.
And what would you'r solution be? Take from them the houses they worked their whole lives to acquire and put them in elderly homes? They have paid their share to society by providing the taxes for 65+ years that they have worked and brought us where we are today.
Those homes are not vanished from the market. They will be inherited by their children and so on.
Land taxation is by my opinion inherently bad for that specific reason ( if they have only one piece of land )

The problem is that we are pilling into cities where land is minimal and thus the market works in supply and demand.

Hopefully as years pass, where remote work is more and more accessible you can be owning your own 1 euro or whatever home in any area and not worry about limited land.
The thing I fear most here, is companies getting banned because they employ a developer who worked at another company that gets banned. I've heard that either for Apple or Google (I forgot which), any relationship at all to a banned account can get you banned.

So an unlucky developer could rapidly become even more unlucky, and infect others with that 'bad luck'.

There's a very thick line indeed between not writing any reviews and being 'compulsive' as you put it. Why do you have to phrase it such an extreme way?

I write a few reviews because if something is particularly good or useful, or very bad, I want others to benefit from that.
Its still possible to get working original gameboys. Since the DS was massively popular you will still easily be able to source a working device.

> Delivery costs might go down at the expense of a large number of rural Americans unable to get mail at all

This is conjecture, at best. If there’s a market need for something, it will be met at the fair market value for that thing — provided there are no exogenic barriers like regulation or endogenic barriers like monopolies/cartels.

At best, you can probably make the case that rural areas will no longer receive subsidized mail service, but it’s worth asking ourselves if that’s even a desirable goal. And even if it is, it’s worth considering if nationalization is the best way to achieve subsidized rural delivery, or if direct subsidy or a UBI is the better way to achieve that, or perhaps even regulating the private carriers just like for eg food quality is regulated by the FDA.

I’ll also add that the rural population is overwhelmingly the set of people who are aggressively voting for privatization.
Complaints EU US Transfers Filed
A quick analysis of the HTML source code of major EU webpages shows that many companies still use Google Analytics or Facebook Connect one month after a major judgment by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) - despite both companies clearly falling under US surveillance laws, such as FISA 702. Neither Facebook nor Google seem to have a legal basis for the data transfers. Google still claims to rely on the “Privacy Shield” a month after it was invalidated, while Facebook continues to use the "SCCs", despite the Court finding that US surveillance laws violate the essence of EU fundamental rights.
> Marketers are people too

Sometimes.... :)
That's honestly most of the reason I still go to the store, and all of why I'll go out of my way to buy there even for stuff I could probably get elsewhere for a little less.

Micro Center is the last of the old breed of computer stores, where you could expect to go and find a strong product selection and generally knowledgeable people - I can't remember the last time I've gone anywhere else and found the sales staff able to usefully consult and advise on complex questions; by contrast, I've learned through experience that I can go into my local Micro Center with nothing but a problem description and come out with a solution that will work.

I want that to go on being the case for a long time; after all, I'm not getting any younger nor are days getting any longer, and having kids around who are, by all I can tell, well paid and fairly treated precisely to develop and apply knowledge I don't have the time or honestly the desire to obtain for myself - that's something I'm not just willing, but happy, to support.

Polygraphs are not used in US courts and the results are not admissible at trial, so I'm not sure what you're referring to in the last paragraph.
Partly its that. Partly its about tricking juries, "He failed/refused the polygraph" is a very nice way to discredit someone. At least 5 of the 12 people there will find that concerning and not know its BS.
Actually, most computers today are made in China that hardly favors "free market capitalism". The companies take lots of subsidies, some are state owed, they depend on state infrastructure and policies (even to get workers), and so on.

At best it's a mix, but hardly "free market capitalism".
If I remember correctly, note this is contrary to the advice the antipolygraph sites gives. They state anything the person interviewed admits, no matter how trivial, will be used against them (e.g. "have you ever smoked pot in college?"). That the "good cop" of the interrogation is always a ruse; and that since polygraphs don't actually work, small "admissions" are a big part of the actual information gathering... including the questions that are allegedly for "calibration".

I've designed a storage system for an image storage app for a client, and I had an extensive spreadsheet with the cost and risks of various combinations of erasure coding and data centres, as well as other mitigations.

So yes.

But this data loss highlights that all too often it ends there, with calculating the risk of loss due to hardware or data centre failures.

You need to also do the same in terms assessing how you design your software, and what processes you put in place to mitigate risks.

In this case it was the software system design that failed: They allowed the system access to modify long term stored data, when really the system ought to have been designed to allow "write once unless the user has convinced us that they really, really want the data destroyed, in which case keep a backup for a limited time" type design.

A lot of software fails in that respect. The moment your internal API's allow modification of data, you risk catastrophic loss, as Canon found out, and you really ought to have strategies for mitigation of that.
I for one am glad that they ban all alternative web browsers, so I don't have to deal with issues like using addons I like or not having pages randomly reload because ios thinks they should. Enforced lack of choice is awesome. I wonder what jailbroken app idea Apple will steal next...
Unless humans remain for millions of years, nature has the upper hand. Hence humans should get with nature's program, not the other way around.

None of those are quite as arbitrary as the App Store, though.

It's one thing if an app stops working on newer versions of the system due to fundamental change to that system. It's totally different if you get banned simply because the gatekeeper doesn't like your face.

>So, why break PGP if you can politely ask the victim's mail client to include the private key?

If your PGP private key has a good passphrase then you are still OK. This attack suggests that there is some value in how most PGP implementations attempt to protect the private key locally.

As a counter example, Signal Messenger does not even try to protect the private key or saved messages except with a short pin (and that is a new feature). That is probably based on the idea that any local attack is going to end up being a complete compromise of the end point ... which is not an unreasonable assumption. Then you can sniff any passphrase without any extra trouble.

In the end, message security is endpoint security.

This attack is entirely generic. It seems odd that the authors only mention the possibility of a PGP compromise and ignore all the other messengers out there that could be also compromised by arbitrary remote file access. It would of made things more compelling.
> there was a 10GB/user cap, so it's unlikely someone had been using it as their only copy

I don't understand why a small total size implies people are less likely to use it for their only copy of something?
I think we need to change the definition of "personal data" in GDPR from things like name, phone number etc. to just bits. It takes around 33 bits to identify a person, with some leeway (so maybe like 26 bits).

Sex == 1 bit. Hair color =~ 2 bits. Glasses/no glasses =~ 0.6 bits. Phone number == 33 bits. Location to 1km precision would be many more bits in a rural area (less people / lower density) than in a big city. And so on.

This would take care of the metadata. It would also put the companies on the defensive - if _the company_ thinks they're collecting just 20bits of data, but if I can do some fancy ML on their data (require regular external audits of collected data if more than say 10k people were tracked) and retrieve 27bits, that would put them in breach (& massive penalties).
> Before doing that they see the list of attachments they are including, so this is a very visible attack.

Depends on the client. I use claws-mail and I can't replicate this (not sure if maybe I'm doing it wrong), but I did note that if there were attachments, I wouldn't see them by default without clicking the attachments tab in the compose window.
Pretty much. They also do heart beat and a bunch of other things. Then (like a scientologist) the operator "interprets" that you're lying or not.
Beating the polygraph means passing it when you're lying about the relevant issues. Although polygraphy has no scientific basis, the methodology employed makes effective countermeasures possible.
Ah, I see, I misunderstood! I guess a blockchain kind of thing is what you need then if the text is public? There was an immutable database on here the other week - https://immudb.io - which might have some ideas.

Feudalism (and we still have monarchies to this day cough KSA cough) in tl;dr is the notion that social relations between homo sapiens should be built on the same asymmetric principles as social relations in other large herding domesticated species.

Can we come up with better, more primate, or even more human, systems? I would claim we could, by swapping reflexive antisymmetric transitive relations for reflexive symmetric transitive ones (as those of us with T-V distinguishing languages have largely done), but nearly a half century of people watching has convinced me there exist large numbers of people who are perfectly happy to be servile to some as long as they get to be arrogant to yet others.
> I suppose one way to counteract this is for apple to license app stores and they have to have the same standards as apples store.

Absolutely not - that's the entire point of this action. Apple's "standards" are to block upgrade pricing and force developers down a path of microtransactions. Do we really want that to be carried over to other stores? Do we want other stores to have to live with Apple's decision to block apps to help dissidents in Hong Kong or the Middle East communicate?

A single point of decision-making on code always leads to terrible geopolitical outcomes. Always. That is the important part of what is happening here.
To reiterate the point of my comment above: how big is the difference when using Svelte, really? Is it simpler nicer, or does it let you model the problem more closely?

I don’t have enough experience with it to say (though I do like to see it leveraging compiler tech to optimize rendering flows), but I think that is the question to ask. If it’s basically the same model as React, we really don’t lose much by using React, even if Svelte is nicer. If it’s a new model, it may be worth fighting.

>What would have to happen for you to change your mind ?

It's not about changing minds - it's about evidence. There's ample evidence BTC is simply repeating the flaws of discarded money systems, and they were discarded because they are terrible. Unless BTC addresses these flaws there is little sense in painting a pig.

Mankind has learned that a money system that cannot adjust to shocks is a terrible idea. So first BTC needs this ability, which would make it not BTC. If it cannot at least meet minimum requirements, then it fails. You might as well argue we should trade tulip bulbs as currency if you're going to ignore modern evidence.

The real question is why do you clutch BTC given centuries of evidence and widespread professional opinion that it fails at the things a money system needs to be modern? Why do you insist on repeating flaws that have been conclusively demonstrated to fail?

I gave you ample phrases to google and learn from. If you still claim BTC is somehow immune from all its flaws that is your choice.
Reading their description of the problem, it wasn't that they lost one of their redundant servers, it was that their code that cleans up temporary storage accidentally was also cleaning up long-term storage. Increasing the redundancy of their storage wouldn't have helped.
