Removing safe harbor will increase this sort of thing, because Twitter would be exposed to more law suits for not taking down harmful speech. (And yes, harmful speech is a legal concept in the US). And the internet is not social media - the internet and decentralized digital technologies don’t need Twitter to link people together.
I'm sure nobody saw that coming!
Sections from other statutes that would make obeying this statute punishable:

Sure, you can up the window to a year, or pay the normal rate for B2 on top of your subscription (albeit you don't pay transfer costs).

However, you still need to rotate the data and Backblaze doesn't exactly make that process easy for this use-case. You need to go into the UI and manually select the data you want, wait for it to be packaged up, and then download and restore them to the proper locations. If the files were deleted you also need to mess around with the timeframe in the UI.

This sounds like a poor UI, but for their normal backup/restore users it's fine since you generally want to restore an entire device or you're picking out a particular file you need. This really only breaks down if the size of the device backup exceeds the actual storage capacity of the device, which is probably a rare-ish occurrence. But also, restoring from backup is something that should rarely have to be done anyway.

My point still stands: Backblaze is able to offer "unlimited" storage by making the backup/restore use-case easy, but making the "additional cloud storage" use-case tedious. This generally puts an upper bound on that "unlimited" amount based on how much local storage users actually have.
> it must have been easier, even at the time, to just use a PC (in the wider sense, not just IBM PC and clones).

Agreed.

It was probably a tradition dating back to the fact that HP did the original pocket calculator, but even through to the 48's, HP did literally all of the engineering. Everything from the physical design of the device down to design and fabrication of the custom CPU and other semiconductors. There was just no way that business model was going to stay competitive with PCs over time.

(While I'm reminiscing, however, I would've loved to see the RPL software running on a machine based on the HP100LX chassis and a faster CPU... Much bigger display, a workable clamshell design, and RS232/IRDA/PCMCIA expansion.)
No. "Manipulate" in this context carries the connotation of unscrupulous control. The purpose of a campaign is to demonstrate to voters that you're the best person for the job. There is no need for "manipulation" to accomplish this. Manipulation is used to convince people to vote for you despite the truth.
The issue is that ATC is the one that suggested it could be a jetpack.
I’ve witnessed this behaviour firsthand too. Several months after leaving MedShr I left what I still felt was a very honest review. 4 weeks after submission I got an email that they had taken it down (along with previous positive reviews about earlier employers). After prodding their support they told me it was because of some undisclosed behaviour on my part.

Since then the page has become littered with reviews that are somewhat obviously fake. Most of them are written in a vaguely shielded corporate tone and they simply don’t have enough former employees with a positive opinion of them to have this kind of sudden influx of responses.

Glassdoor has thoroughly outlived its usefulness and I can’t say that I will be basing any of my decisions on who to join on it in the future.
1-2 tabs max? I'm not sure many would consider that very usable

It makes me think of a particular problem that I have fixed for a client quite a few times already that could be automated.

Good luck in your endeavors!
I believe Team Blind does this and tries to deflect the gaming through blind anonymous reviews but where Blind validates the poster possesses a company email.

The problem is that if it gets too successful then it's easy for companies to classify emails from the Team Blind domain as spam. Having said this, if that happens then that might already be a yellow flag on the part of the employee.
Its scary how efficient they were. It felt like it was automated.
The story from an HN point of view is not the campaign claim—that would probably be off topic—but the actions taken by Twitter and Facebook, which are significant new information [1] about an interesting new phenomenon [2].

That is the type of laundering language Twitter itself uses regularly in its 'Trending' tab editorializing: 'People angry at X', 'X accused', etc.

Pre-framing a topic is malpractice.

> Indeed. There's a Chomsky quote that fits here:

>> The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.

That sounds bad, but I wonder how Chomsky would feel if that wasn't the case and the "spectrum of acceptable opinion" included stuff like literal Nazism.
The problem is Best Buy is just a retailer, while Apple is both a retailer, and a hardware builder, and a software developer, as well as a media company. This inevitably creates problematic situations that allows for market position abuse such as:

* Apple is Spotify's biggest competitor.

* Spotify has to pay Apple 30% of it's revenue purchased through iOS to Apple.

* Apple has to pay 0% of it's revenue purchased through iOS to Spotify, and can use Spotify's profits to subsidize their own offering.

* Spotify is explicitly not allowed to suggest alternative payment methods, and will be removed from user devices if this happens.

* Apple owns the payment method, and uses iOS to further cement its market position with Apple Pay.

* Spotify has limited platform control, and can't be pre-installed on the device.

* Apple uses it's market domination of iOS to default to, and encourage users to, sign up for Apple Music during the device installation process.

Is this a fair marketplace?
A startup that waited until they had a high-functioning product doing what it's actually supposed to do, and then launched their PR campaign? unlikely.

If your scenario was accurate they would have registered a domain and put up a bunch of staged photos and doctored video footage, then initiated a media blitz about how they've solved the biggest challenges and are taking investment.
That is what antitrust is supposed to prevent
I'm not buying the premise that there is a need for yet-another-abstraction over a high level tool like Kubernetes. You need to learn your underlying deployment platform anyway, introducing yet another tool feels like a distraction.
Good analogy. Both are dependent on low level sub-atomic physics.
As a data scientist excited about the potential of psychedelic therapies, I like that you are helping bring rigor to the space.

By wording their question like that, they may actually be priming pilots to report ambiguous sightings as jetpack sightings.
Seems like most web based anything sees rapid steps back due to ease of gaming the system.
Glad you're finding it useful! Per your comment, are you saying that Streamlit doesn't respect the aspect ratio of your charts, or are you saying it's weird per our defaults?
But then everyone would know who it was and exactly where it was, is, and is going.

Presumably, the person flying a freaking jet pack around the LA Area has enough money and smarts to know these things... and I doubt they want to be found.

Which is odd, since they've also made definitive claims that they blocked it because it's "hacked" and yet more definitive claims that they blocked it because it's "leaked". They can't even get their story straight; and with their audience who will support their every move, they don't need to.

> If you argue everything is political, then nothing is political.

Yeah, that’s not how it works. Just because you choose to not think about political decisions that shaped your plumber selections, McDonalds trip, or the city ordinance that bans or allows your breed of dog you are walking doesn’t mean they cease to exist. The world doesn’t disappear just because you close your eyes.

What you are really saying is those politics don’t matter to you, so in your mind they don’t exist. Well, they do exist to others. The labor laws and minimum wage laws enacted by a politician or vote are important to those burger flippers. The dismantling of union protections matter to that plumber and effect how much he is able to charge. Your lack of interest, or your lack of knowledge, of how politics shaped those situations does not separate those politics from the situations or make the politics not there. Nor does me speaking about those things bring about the politics, as I am merely highlighting something that was always there. I am not making it political, it always was. I am bringing it to your awareness.

Let’s look at a more extreme example to hopefully illustrate the point. Say you live in the American south during the 60s. You just want to go get a burger and fries. How could that be political? It’s just a succulent meal after all. Well you are not choosing to eat at a “whites only” restaurant. While you might not care, might not think anything about it, and might have not had a political thought in your head, that doesn’t magically separate the action from the underlying politics that shaped the way it happened and the fact that that action is political and is important to some other people. But if someone says you should be supporting Jim Crow laws by only shopping at whites only establishments, to you they are the ones making it political when in reality, it is already intrinsically political and they are merely highlighting the political aspect that always existed.
I just listened to the audio, and maybe, but.... "Too shiny and too far" made me think the response was to the ATC's question about drone and assuming drone would be something in the DJI realm of object size. The pilot was implying that it was too far away to be that visible from reflection to be a consumer drone.
Let's call it clearly, all educational software is badly designed. Moodle is no exception. It's not only different from the teachers mental model, it's also different from the students mental models, and administrators mental models, besides it imposes complex and low productivity workflows.

The newer proprietary educational portals are usually designed after Moodle, so it's not only bad, it's also trend setting. The good news is that this means they are better than the old ones from before people had something to copy.

You are arguing over semantics...we are saying the same thing. The price some investors are willing to buy it at, or you could say, the price some investors perceive to be valuable.
Here's a list of various hoaxes/leaks/etc. that the big tech social media companies allowed and did not censor, even though they took action in this instance: https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/15/11-hacks-leaks-and-hoax...

>To the ReactOS devs: what's the deal with the last couple years of GSOC projects? Why is there little to no work going on to improve compatibilty?

Why are you asking this here in the HN comments section? Maybe communicate directly to them through a means of contact on their page. Why "grill" them on their progress? Maybe go invest in the project yourself.

This just comes off as lazy criticisms. It's not like GSOC is your money, nor does Google "make it rain" with their stipend.
As far as I can tell the original article doesn't actually answer this. It assumes that the breakages are man-made (or restricts itself to only talking about those that are man-made) and then goes on to explain the breakages through that lens. Of course the explanations of those breakages are in turn at least some evidence that those breakages are indeed man-made, but the article doesn't go into explaining what proportion of damage is man-made.

I too am curious to what extent natural breakage plays a role which unfortunately the article doesn't really get into.

I've seen broken noses on a lot of very diverse sculptures from across the world (Mesoamerican sculptures, Easter Island Moai heads, Greco-Roman busts, Chinese Buddhist sculptures, etc.) so I'm inclined to think at least some of the broken noses on Egyptian sculptures can be attributed to natural damage.

I would've appreciated if the article explained the ratio of natural damage to man-made damage on these noses.

As it stands I'm still not sure whether Egyptian sculptures have an outsized number of broken noses or whether it's the same ratio as all other ancient sculptures.
I started feeling better about it after considering that system install for upgrade is my only test for recovery from drive loss under non-emergency conditions. Two root partitions; install to the spare, them populate it from backups (admittedly very fresh). If anything is missing, copy it on from old root, figure out why backups omitted it, and fix the scripts. Non-essential data e.g. read-only git tree clones goes on a third, large "cache" partition.

I thought of this. The serial number of the laptop is included in the grand jury summons docs released by the New York Post. The serial number can be used to lookup the model. It was a mid-2017 macbook pro, the T2 chip started shipping in 2018 models.
It’s not like that doesn’t happen in the private sector as well, though. Literally can’t count the number of top execs you see parachuted into top jobs because they’re friends with the CEO.
Thanks. This makes some sense.

Honestly, I'm sympathetic to Yelp. The money has to come from somewhere. And there's at least superficial evidence that you cannot operate a honest review platform at a reasonable profit rate (e.g., glassdoor, consumer reports).
I don't take anything the three letter agencies say at face value. But if I were Twitter leadership and legal and I got a call from the CIA or NSC saying my platform is being used right now for a massive GRU disinformation campaign, I would panic and attempt to shut it down.
Someone always has and always will have that power though. I would rather the owner of the platform than the government have that power.

Think about this: would you rather have the power to decide what speech you allow in your house, or would you rather the government decide for you? Because those are really your choices.
> In trying to understand Apple's position on App Store policies, it may help to think of them as a retail store. For example, substitute "Best Buy" for App Store

It may help their case to think of it that way, but that's not what the App Store is. So this is, excuse the terminology, irrelevant.

You'd think that after 4 years of intense scrutiny by the media, with a 2-year Special Counsel Investigation, people would finally let this go. If you don't see the parallel between this pipe dream and the QAnons of the world, I can't help you.
this is the second time in a couple months a jetpack has been reported flying at LAX though, and nobody has claimed credit. If it only happened once and then we all learned who it was during the initial press cycle, i could see it being a marketing stunt. but violating restricted airspace multiple times without anybody finding out who you are is a pretty bad marketing stunt.

it might be some startup testing their experimental aircraft, but if it is they're either bad at marketing, bad at navigating, or both.
Harris suspends travel after staffer tests Covid-19 positive
The idea of free journalism sounds great until it's all ad driven and click bait-y. A digital news subscription cost less than $1 daily and it's still a challenge to convince people to commit to one. I'm glad some long form journalists are moving to substack.
The field being taken over by 20 year olds is a consequence of the field's revenue being eaten by tech. There's not enough money to make a decent living on now, so those filling the void will be more ideologically motivated.
I work at Product Mgmt at HashiCorp.

We do hope to have Waypoint as a HashiCorp Cloud offering in the future. Yet we expect the have the core workflows available in open source. There may someday be features in a paid Enterprise edition, similar the approach we've used well with Vault.
Supercollider (and Chuck and others) do not just render to static files. They can all be used to generate real time audio and be manipulated in real time. They have oodles of synthesis and processing models already present.

It is possible to write stuff in these languages that cannot be rendered in realtime by any current computer, but these days you have to work pretty hard to do that. Even on a phone, you'd have a lot of possibilities.
> How would an offline-first Internet look like?

1Password comes to mind. If you sign up for the subscription, you can easily access it offline, sync to the cloud now or later. Enable 2factor, and you can still access the vault offline, want to sync with the cloud? Enter the 2factor ID and you're in business.

I couldn't find a roadmap anywhere. I'd like to know a rough timeline if I am to consider these even for non-prod for the projects that I do.

I understand these are both v0.1. I'm just humbly asking for some transparency in regards to the future.
I'm less interested in what happened 40,000 years ago and more curious why its a dog whistle that brings so many cyberwarriors running if you dare to hint the academic timeline doesn't make any sense which it doesn't.
> an ashtonishing 70% of the exploits are through various forms of Phishing and other attacks in the browser

Credential phishing doesn’t care where your browser is running, as I frequently have to remind IT teams who think their web proxy logs can identify 100% of victims of a phishing attack (there are almost always a few people who clicked on their phone). RBI of this type is specifically to mitigate vulnerabilities in the browser engine, the type of 0-day where you just click on the wrong thing and get owned. While these are a real threat, they are nowhere near 70%, more like less than 1% (and see my other comment about how the 70% number is just made up).

> [2] https://blogs.akamai.com/2018/01/a-death-match-of-domain-gen...

Domain generation algorithms are used for malware command and control, not in the browser/phishing stage of an attack. An actual reason DNS blacklists aren’t perfect for this purpose is that attackers host malware distribution and phishing pages on legitimate services like Google Docs and Sharepoint.
I look at it this way. If I was going to pull this stunt, I know I am going to get into a lot of trouble as is. So with ADS-B, I can at least let other planes see my GPS/Altitude and I can leave all the other data empty. This does not provide who I am, but shows at least some attempt to mitigate risk. The FAA are all about mitigating risk. Also less likely I would get a face full of prop. The person doing this could turn it back off at lower altitude to avoid people seeing where they landed.
Well, it doesn’t help that the “infamous dossier” literally states that a sitting President can’t be charged for the crimes that were investigated. And the author explicitly stated that he did not find Trump or his campaign innocent of the described crimes.
