>PeerTube does this using technologies such as WebTorrent and WebRTC. In theory, this can help PeerTube scale without expensive centralized servers.

I wonder if this is actually that useful for reducing server bandwidth for the long-tail type of content that self-hosters are apt to produce.
> why wouldn't he just volunteer

Maybe not as applicable in this case as it's a position where one expects someone to be used to handle lots of money. But expecting someone to do government leading work for peanuts can have the unintended side effect of only having upper class pursue it. Like unpaid internships where only the already well-off can afford to do it.
For all the ire on this site about the likes of Google, Apple, etc. screwing over the small company with their 30% app store fee, why isn't there even more outrage over the founders and startups who screw over their even more deserving-of-help employees?

You know, the employees who get subjected to unregulated dilution, tyrannical bosses, unreasonable hours and unclear compensation for trading off the prime years of their life? The ones who sign papers that look like an official company that has rules and structures, only to find that it's really "whatever the CEO wants to do"?

You would think people would be up in arms about that.
FYI, I thought this was not possible either but if you bought it from Adobe you can log into your account, see your past purchases, and download the v6 installer. I just did this like a week ago when I realized I lost my v6 installer. But you're right in a sense in that unless you have it on your Adobe account history, the installer is no where to be found anywhere else like it used to be.

No that's simply not true all long term resident (in CH for more than 15 years) have the same right to apply to it and their permit cannot be revoked. They represent like 18% of the 25% you mentioned. Of course it will create an issue if they want to become a swiss citizen, but most don't give a heck like my wife born in CH and here for 42 years, or like many friends that didn't want to go the army. The social service will depend on the canton, but they will rent a flat for you, provide 1000.- and take care of your health insurance, something that is just inexistant in the US.
What would you suggest as a replacement?
So I will concede that it is time to bury all the XUL/XPCom misgivings. We now need to rededicate ourselves to the same extensible vision using the new stack.
Darktable is an incredible piece of software. Far exceeds the capabilities of Lightroom.

But the UX is not great. I actually got a lightroom trial a few months ago and edited more photos in that week than I did in Darktable for a year. I hope it continues to grow and succeed but it’s UI and flow really need some work :)
Didn't you ask them "But didn't you say this was uspublishable?" and what was their response?
the one thing I still miss to this day is tamper data. a replacement is ZAP but it's nowhere near as convenient (and also much bigger in scope)
Good to know, at least that warm me up to crossplane further.
The messaging might need update, including within the docs.
I mean - crossplane is the OAM implement - coupled with OAM sprinkled all over docs, gave me very different impression.

This aside, I think crossplane work is interesting.
At least in California, an employer has virtually no say about who you work for in your off hours. If you want to work for McDonald’s 9-5 and Wendy’s 6-midnight, it’s nobody’s business but yours.
On same line, project owners/managers don't mind bugs as long as their directors happy. Directors don't mind bugs as long as Sr Directors are happy and chain goes on...

Truth is nobody cares for customer...

In software industry, cost of bug is mostly nothing compared to other industries like construction. Products are not always life-crucial. One person with laptop can build you product. In this context, engineering itself is secondary. Decisions are made on hype, not on reasoning.

>If Gmail.com had a DMARC policy that required a correct dkim signature, then the attack would have been much harder.

Can you have a policy like that? I was under the impression that DMARC passes if either SPF or DKIM passes.
I definitely think there's more room for this sort of guided / ML analysis, but I'm not quite sure to make traction on extracting the structure of scientific papers...hopefully someone with more experience can chime in.

I think paper discovery has recently suffered a huge boon thanks to ConnectedPapers, though. [https://www.connectedpapers.com/]

>If a student leaves campus without permission

I know the system in US is different from those I have experience with, but do a student at a college really require permission to go off campus? Isn't college students consider adults who can make own decisions?
It's super rare out here in the coast. Though many people do raise chickens, bees, or the occasional goat in their yards.

The top comment already has the term that everyone keeps glossing over: stellar mass density.

The universe has about as much stellar mass density as it will ever have.

This isn't that hard.
I'm a Norwegian and I suspect they don't want to put the compensation higher because of public perception within Norway. If someone was pulling 10 mln USD from the public purse I can guarantee the left leaning press would have something to say about it.

I think it's fair anyway. This guy is already loaded, he doesn't need the extra millions. The prestige and power that comes with the position should be motivation enough.
That would be fine if only the founders were shareholders but there are also other shareholders.
Trouble is not only the complexity of a web browser (and security thereof) but that Google's "living standard" is a constantly shifting target. Even a company like Microsoft couldn't keep up with it and gave up. So long as Google is in charge and has infinite* resources to throw at it, nobody else is ever going to be able to keep pace.

Apple works around that by not really trying to keep up. It implements features in its own time (or else some third party contributes code to WebKit). But iOS gives Apple a captive audience which means it has much more freedom to be "slow" compared to Google. As much as I might philosophically dislike their policy of only allowing their own web engine on iOS, it is the only thing keeping WebKit alive as a major alternative.
No. It's evidence that something was lost, but not a measure of the actual damages you suffered. Whose to say if you lost $100 or $100k? In the absence of the lost material there's most likely no way to demonstrate anything.

In this case some sort of statutory deterrent would probably be a much more effective solution. I honestly doubt that regulation is a good solution here though - bugs like this are so severe from a PR perspective that there's already a huge incentive to avoid them.

Ask HN: NLP strategies to detect clickbait in HN titles?
HN boasts very high S/N ratio, and that's why I'm using it.

However, there are still many nuisance items that can clog /active and front pages.

Some of them are easily filtered out with CSS + XPath rules in uBlock Origin (major paywalled newspapers and top karma users associated with them, frequent blogspammers, posts with keywords from the two programming language proselytizing communities).

There are others that can be spotted with a bit of manual bipartite graph (poster -> site) analysis, yet I'm loath to set up an algorithm to hunt for the long tail of fresh accounts.

It is a low-hanging fruit to catch new blogspammers with account names matching their URLs with regexes. However, regular expressions are generally a slow trainwreck waiting to happen.

I have searched for a deep learning-based NLP solution, tons of clickbaity papers on clickbait on arXiv, yet their definitions aren't necessarily aligned with mine [0]. Most use fine-tuned BERT for classification, are there any other approaches that I've missed?

Not really the same, considering the total annual compensation for all these $1 CEOs is wayyy more in reality.
I have had this exact experience, Taxi's are the worst and there is 0 feedback loop to improve quality. I once had a taxi driver yell at me and ask me why I didn't just take an uber if I live so close to the airport. Good riddance to traditional taxis (in all but a few cities where they are still marginally more convenient in my experience).
Let me google the rule for those of you reading.

I am an IT person, and I put this first, and Auditor for 27001. Wouldn't say that you can't bullshit me, cause who knows all.
I go in and look at the absolute basics. Like is there a person responsible for Security? What are his responsibilities? In the last 12 Months is there anything documented that proofs that he did his job? If so did the management followed through on his findings? If not why?

You can fake all of this. But at some point its easier to do the job than to fake it. Well at least this is what I hope...
I think we need some kind of champion to make that point -- to prove that the extensible vision we did have and lost is still worth pursuing.

But that's not really a useful thing for me to say, because I have no idea where we can go to get that champion, and I'm at least low-key worried about Mozilla's ability and willingness to be that champion.

But agreed. I think it's about more than just XUL vs webExtensions, I think it's a broad tech/cultural issue about making the case that end-user-accessible control and customization is important.
Let's be clear on one thing that seems to be perpetually discussed whenever there is a Firefox thread: what has lead to its declining usage.

It is not removing XUL 'power' extensions and replacing them with 'neutered' WebExtensions mechanism.

It is not choosing to closely align with Chrome in terms of UI/UX and functionality.

It is not the letting go of Brendan Eich and the newer (much criticised) management.

It is not because of Mozilla foundation highlighting a few 'social justice' issues here and there.

The decline of Firefox is because of one thing only - the enormous marketing and engineering clout of Google and their utterly ruthless, relentless, anti-competitive pushing of Chrome across Android and all their web properties and even through ads all over the world.

More specifically, it is their bundling of Chrome as the default, preset browser on the world most popular mobile operating system that really swung the tide decisively in their favour. Once ordinary users got used to Chrome on Android, they would naturally seek out the same browser on their laptops and desktops, to minimise interoperability issues and maximise familiarity.

And while pre-installing Chrome on Android (and by the way, it is pre-installed even on most laptop/desktop purchases by "helpful" OEMs - such is its viral reach) may not be strictly illegal as per anti-monopoly laws (because alternatives are 'freely' available on the default app store), the fact remains that if a program that comes with the OS is "good enough", the very vast majority of users will not bothering changing it, and thus Google managed to cripple all other browsers while still subtly side-stepping any potential lawsuits.

So the decline of Firefox is in my opinion a social/political phenomenon and nothing to do with its technical competence or extendibility vis-a-vis Chrome. It is certainly a more than competent drop-in replacement for Chrome (unlike say w3m or NetSurf), but who will bother to do the replacement in the first place, as long as Chrome continues to be "good enough" (which is does excellently) and it doesn't outrageously hurt the user base by some extraordinarily shocking screw-up (and Facebook shows, even such odious abuse will be condoned by the user base by and large when the network effects are too big).
As a Lightroom alternative, Darktable has quickly become a good replacement for me. I used to be a non-believer but turns out I just wasn’t used to it enough. It now has a healing brush at least as good (probably better^) as Lightroom, advanced perspective correction tool etc besides masking tools and other basics of course.

My card allows me to switch off online purchases. Not very helpful but possibly prevents the complete killing of an otherwise functional card.

It would be good if cards had a white or black list option.
Beyond your fair points, my statement is unfair because it's trivially true. "Transparency into critical vetting" hides the complexity of individual comprehension, single points of failure, etc. I just know I have very little trust into opaque processes that randomly blow up
When your boss of a two pizza team is paid more than $600k they are probably overpaid?

Most and Least Affordable Places to Buy a Home in US
That it's out of the ordinary for someone to be able to just pick up a repo/service/project at your company and just go with maybe only a few sentences in a wiki to bootstrap them.

I'm a big fan of git clone, make setup, make style workflow where there is no other work. That this was a wow factor for your coworkers, again, tells me a lot.
yeah, there are so many amazing houses that I'd love to own, were they not so far from anywhere useful, which is of course why the buildings/land is affordable :D
I think it’s sufficiently esoteric so that there’s not enough people to be up in arms.
Because Startups don't have a virtual monopoly on jobs the issue is much less pressing than with app stores. Of course that doesn't mean that programmers shouldn't form a union.
> also, some of the changes that Firefox needed to remain competitive with Chrome were going to break most add-ons immediately, possibly all add-ons in the longer term;

Sad part is that we lost extensions and Firefox is still slower, glitchier than Chrome.
I'm a huge fan of C1's interface, it feels so intuitive and everything's just where I expect it to be.
Of recent laureates I really loved This Is How you Lose The Time War as well as Binti (this is a trilogy, but combined form something novel-length). Becky Chambers's recent novella To Be Taught, if Fortunate was a major step up imo, and the more utopian view of space exploration (less SpaceX hype machine, more cooperative citizen science) is incredibly welcome for me. (I also liked her previous novels, but level of prose did not match the high-quality world-building - but if you are an sf fan you are probably used to this.) I'd suggest Aliette de Bodard's Xuya universe to anyone who likes The Culture, Immersion is often recommended but the one that's stuck most with me is The Shipmaker. If you like Douglas Adams, Catherynne Valente's Space Opera is in a similar vein but also beautifully extra. If you like your sf humor darker and more muted, try Johanna Sinisalo's The Core of the Sun.

Other than Binti none of these are a multi-novel series, which I agree is way too common. ("Thanks" for that among many other terrible directions in sf literature, Robert Jordan.)
Ruby, Python, and to some extent Node have always had problematic dependencies on system libraries.

I can't count the number of apps in these languages where I've had to fiddle with downloading updating, compiling libraries.

Java and C# are great about this. Download it, run some command, and you're good to go 99% of the time.
I would love to listen to his answer to this.
This is some of the best news I’ve heard in a long time.
I have PTSD just reading this.
The last time I saw DNS throughput or performance issues was around 2003 on a network with 200K desktops and servers. That was 17 years ago, and they don't have a problem any more, despite growing in footprint to nearly half a million client machines.

I struggle to understand how DNS can possibly be a performance issue in 2020. In most corporate environments, the "working set" of a typical DNS servers will fit in the L3 cache of the CPU, or even the L2 cache.

The amount of network traffic involved is similarly miniscule. If all 200K of your client machines sent 100 requests per second, each 100 bytes in size, all of those to just one server, that adds up to a paltry 2 Gbps.

If your DNS servers are struggling with that, get better servers. Or networks. Or IT engineers.
Probably because people already tell you not to work at startups unless it is for ideological reasons.
Citation needed. I guess you’re probably right but companies are way more accountable than random internet person who modified the dll/binary to work without copy protection.
It's an exceptionally poor strategy to drop $25k on a new car that only gets 17mpg when your intention is to be a rideshare driver. A purely internal-combustion Civic or Corolla gets twice that. A Prius more than 3x. So do the ones that are 3-4 years old already. And the Prius will probably last closer to 200k miles.

I would guess that the ridesharing companies will buy fleets before they'll pay Chevy Tahoe rates for compact sedans.
I'm sure anyone here who has set up a PiHole ad-blocking DNS server at home has run into these random domain requests and wondered what was going on. At first I thought one of my devices had a virus on it or something until I did a few searches and discovered it was Chrome being ludicrous. (Next topic: Getting Chrome to actually use the DNS provider that you specify and nothing else...)
Peer-reviewing.

A research that haven't been peer-reviewed is worth nothing in my opinion and it can't be achieved with open archives.
This is not about lying, this is about actively assisting the criminals in concealing their crimes. The charges listed are obstruction of justice and misprision of a felony.

Furthermore, data being derived from something else has no bearing on whether it’s PII or not. ID numbers are personally identifiable information by definition. The whole point of them is to personally identify someone.
Update on the recent DDoS attack on Tutanota
A 24-hr restart plan, sounds like a properly documented quality management process for a large boiler? Disconnecting the "Windows XP box" is removing the control system correct? Not really the same thing is it? There's no reason the XP Embedded hardware platform could not have been engineered with high availability in mind? It's not as if there are no comercial-off-the-shelf options here.

The company who chooses to let the bosses son, who built custom PCs in high school, design the critical process control systems, is I'd say, outside the scope of the argument here.
I love Frozen Synapse. Always interested in the idea of simultaneous turn resolution.
If you tell C1 to ignore JPEGs in the settings they'll be omitted from the import dialog and won't be imported. That's how it works on v11, at least.
There was a point where, at least in the US, this was standard behaviour for virtually every single major ISP and mobile provider. Several used to hijack all port 53 traffic to disallow you from using anything but their resolver.
I can recommend Affinity Designer as an Illustrator replacement.
What you want is something that compiles to conditional moves. A good compiler should compile your proposed version to the same machine code as the max & min method. If for one reason or another it compiles to branches, it’ll end up being slower.

In Javascript in my browser (Safari) when these methods get called enough to get compiled using the most aggressive stage of the JIT, they end up essentially the same speed. On my laptop either one runs about 145 million times per second on one CPU core.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a C compiler ended up making this function significantly faster, but I haven’t tested it.
This is a common logical fallacy promoted by low-wage employers. To turn it around, why should anyone be happy to make LESS per hour for the extra hours in a day they are working?

Fast food restaurants like to argue that they keep their wages low because their workers are young students who just want some pocket money for a car or concert tickets. If you’ve walked into a McDonalds lately, you may have noticed that more of their employees are middle aged folks or even seniors who are trying to supplement their retirement savings.

I often ask my rideshare driver about why they drive, how long they’ve been driving, etc. Very few of them are driving as a hobby or to pick up some side cash. For most of them, it’s their main source of income.
If it's a free download it still might not fly. I suspect they would have to charge a reasonable fee for providing the specific functionality in order for that approach to work (otherwise the only "sale" was that of the original software).
