Do you know if any streamin service implements user-centric payment model?
There are ways where it can, but it is usually more secure to stack encryption despite what people on HN tell you. The NSA does stacks double for the secure version of the mobile phone that they give to high level diplomats and POTUS and there are cases like during Cloud Bleed where the only sites that were fully secure turned out to be the ones that used client side encryption in addition to HTTPS. I'm not saying that this would necessarily be more secure, just that is tends to be more secure based on all of the research I've done and personal experience on projects as well as conversations with people that actually break encryption for a living. The devil is in the details, though, and it also depends on the nature of your adversary.
> That's why I think that the left digging in is a losing strategy.

I think the meta is that lacking a scientific approach, we have to have some things we are not willing to compromise on. Yes, having almost seventy million people vote for 45 is alarming but we don't have any option but to dig in because it is clear that the right is not digging in. They are stuck in a perpetual tracter control beam right as to speak.

I know what the counter argument will likely be: you have to be in power to be able to do anything at all but this appeal to moderation is what I'd argue has allowed the right to go to the extreme right: the overton window.

The whole premise of "both sides" is flawed here. Of course, it is silly to think 45 is a monster and things will be good once he is no longer in the picture. However, it is just as silly to think that just because seventy million people voted a certain way that their grievances are legitimate. They are not. And as long as we coddle them with "both sides", we can't begin the work we need to do to to undo all the lunacy of the last four years.

The will of the majority is incredibly overrated. Just because a large group of people believes something does not make it true. Often, you need to teach people and help them understand. We have to understand that we can't default to a middle ground approach because there is no end to this spectrum: the right continues on its march right and if we continue reaching for the middle we will be where they were n - 1 time ago.

I can get behind one thing though: we have to be grateful to the 45 administration because he has exposed some serious systemic flaws that we must address if we are to avoid a repeat of the last four years.

> any problem you attribute to graphql, will exist in rest. Every single one and more.

And then you go on to say:

> fine-tune any ad-hoc query

REST doesn't have ad-hoc queries, so no, this problem doesn't exists in REST

> it’s much harder to design good resolvers, queries and limits

So, it's much harder than in REST, but somehow REST has the same problems. Riiiight.

> After all, if you have problems quering complex nested data (and you really objectively need it on a front end) in graphql, it can be only harder to handle correctly in rest, please, please prove me wrong.

Once again: in REST you know exactly what your query will be. And even if it's hard to query and retrieve nested data, you can optimise that retrieval for that specific REST request you provide. With me so far?

GraphQL allows ad-hoc queries of unbounded complexity. This is the one and most significant problem that REST doesn't have. With me so far?

So, given all that, and given that you'r saying "it's much harder to design good resolvers, queries and limits" in GraphQL, how is handling complex data harder to handle correctly in REST?

Quite a lot of American liberals think Trump conned his supporters. Promised them factory jobs, didn't deliver, etc. It should be considered the other way around, that the populists saw him as a narcissist who would bully their enemies for the mere simple favor of adoration. Who was being conned?

The point of the discussion was about gateways to other 3rd party content, which all of my examples fall in line with. But even Netflix, Spotify, Plex and Prime Video all have content produced by 3rd parties available via their apps.

Then what about shopping sites like eBay and Amazon? It’s not multimedia but it’s still an interactive process where you can access adult content.

There comes a point where a company’s position is so nuanced that you have to suspect it’s more to do with financial motivations than a moral stance.

The single biggest contributor to the rise of UPI was demonetization and the significant push from companies & banks by offering discounts and removing transaction charges until recently.

Are you a glass half empty or a glass half full kind of person?

So, it's quite possible to have 2 truths - factually accurate - arise from the same physical reality because the observers are different.

It's also possible that people substitute falsities in exchange for truth based on bad intent or erroneous reasoning (and maybe there are other reasons but these would seem to be the most prevalent of the bad sort).

Since all these are possibilities, would you agree that it's best to apply some charity[1] to those you disagree with before deciding that they are not only wrong, but malign and should be tarred as lunatic?

This seems to be the same technology as Remoteapp, a windows/citrix system for streaming individual app windows over RDP, often from Azure, and which is built into windows.

Yes? Aircon in my car hasn't worked in over a year, why would I stop driving it. And that's beside the fact that RDR2 is a form of entertainment, whereas for a lot of people driving is a necessity. It's pretty easy to find games that run well on Linux.
Reliance Jio gave everyone free internet. Hundreds of millions of Indians came online. More people started using UPI due to it being easy, no lock-ins, and digital. Then demonitisation happened in a week. The rest is history.
You can use openssl rand -base64 n to save a pipe.
> Also, given that India semi-recently blocked some entertainment apps on national security grounds (let's assume the stated intent for the sake of the argument), I wonder if anyone in the Indian government is alarmed that U.S. megacorps hold IMO much more precious keys to the financial security of their 1.4B population?

Most of these payment systems are just a wrapper around GOI's UPI (which is one of the best things to come out of India in the past decade)[1]. The money remains in banks throughout the transaction. Additionally, very little of people's money is stored in digital wallets and that too for a short period of time (anecdotal). However, yes it should be a cause of concern for any country when foreign firms are tightly involved in its economic sector, and we cannot discount interventions on basis of internal security and geopolitical situations.

That paper would need to be put into a current context.

Latencies have changed drastically since 1986. While the basics of TCP haven't, some details have. So unless you are very deep in TCP (I am not) reading this is pretty pointless because you don't know where you learn about historical mistakes and where about current issues. Both are useful, but not without the classification.

That said every time I use Wireshark other than in a small LAN I see horrible retransmission errors. So probably some issues haven't been solved since 1986.
Ironically, while reading it I started to think about other things and fit distracted
Take on responsibility. Be the developer who talks to people in other teams, thinks about what the business needs, how their work fits into the wider picture.

Volunteer for everything you can at work. There are plenty of micro roles at work for example I became the Kubernetes “expert” but that’s a relative term of course I’m pretty much a beginner but I take responsibility for the Kubernetes stuff and am willing to learn as I go. This is some of the quality you need at least in SME or startup land.

The total possible permutations of characters in just an alphanumeric 12 digit random password is 36¹², which is around 400 times larger than the number of permutations possible with 4 words picked out of a pool of 10,000 or 10000⁴.

This might seem reasonable, however, this is only a false economy as people tend to gravitate towards common words that evoke simple concepts, which drastically reduces the search space.

A dictionary attack isn't anything novel and the proliferation of this technique would only make life easier for the baddies.

You could argue that passphrases aren't even competing with randomly generated passwords but rather with the naive passwords that people come up with that has simple character substitution for special characters.

However, this is the same reason why it should only be confined to use in places where a yubikey for active directory windows login or a password manager wouldn't be practical.

If you're going to use a tool to generate your passphrase, why not use a tool to store it and retrieve it at will, while also protecting yourself from shoulder surfing?
>one side has a leader calling out his people to be vigilant and prepared

What's wrong with being vigilant? I remember more than four years of accusations that Russia somehow hacked the last election. Vigilance would be prudent.

>in fact two men father and son have been arrested yesterday in Philadelphia armed of ar-15 with hundreds of rounds

Read up on the story. They weren't even carrying the rifle. The fake ballots were just a publicity stunt to mock the story of Biden's receiving miraculous overnight ballots.

>thanking the volunteers of all sides and talking about reuniting American people

Politicians all over the world say that after they won the election through various means. It's just a platitude and doesn't mean anything.

Nobody was alarmed at Chinese corps holding so much data. The indian govt cannot face china on the battlefield (close ties, less tech and military capabilities) so had to resort to shitty things like banning Tiktok and PUBG. The media praised the move as brilliant, when it was the worst possible thing. Instead of implementing privacy laws, they are banning apps.
One of the big problems I've seen with multi-vendor systems that co-operate is if something didn't work. It was never clear where the problem was because the system incorporated multiple products from multiple vendors. So if your resizer object didn't work for some images after upgrading Photoshop, but it used to in the old version, how do you get that fixed?

In a single-vendor program, it's clearly a bug in the program and you can hand it back to the vendor to fix it. When multiple vendors are involved, it gets way more complicated. Each has a tendency to blame the other, and not take responsibility for the problem. Each will claim that they are coding to the interface specification. And they might be, it's just that the specification isn't tight enough to make all interactions bulletproof.

I don't really have a solution (apart from "write a really, really, tight interface. No, tighter than that"), but I've seen the problem enough to be skeptical that we can have this.

edit: I should add that I wish we could have this.
Why did they have to make this look creepy?
I'd guess that Spotify's model benefits artists that make radio-friendly or ambient music because some people will listen to them 8h a day while at work. Nobody listens to the same amount of intricate and challenging music, which is probably more expensive to produce in the first place.
Business requirements (usually tracing to contracts or law) to have real stewardship over your data.

Not every product domain can operate where they only rent access to the authoritative copy of their records. Or don't have control to acceptance test / rollback the specific versions of the software involved in displaying/modifying those records.

In the past I've worked on safety critical software. As a first order approximation: either the local IT department's disaster recovery plan can ensure continuity of all the quality systems' digital records, artifacts and tools, or you don't actually have a quality system.

Silicon Valley leaders celebrate the Biden win – and send a message to Trump
There’s a valuable segment of car buyers who do change cars every 2, 3, or 4 years to always have the newest features. They often lease and are influenced in their overall decisions by the fact that cars do change. “I can’t have the old-looking tail lights and grill!”

Manufacturers almost surely tailor some of their product plans with this in mind.

Well for Norway that proves the point. Have you saw the coast of Norway? It's heavily punctured by fjords which mean a lot of up and down. Many communities are connected to many of their neighbours by car ferries, not roads.
UPI is something like a framework. All these apps access the UPI payment system. They do nothing on their own.

You can pay with Google Pay/PhonePe/Paytm/Amazon/Whatsapp with the same QR code.

It's like XMPP for payments.

My guess is an in-progress robot that's being designed to do a lot more than just eye movements and head nods and fake breathing. It's probably intended to have facial muscles and speaking at some point, so they're using one of their main development rigs for the demo

Funny, given that I teach in one! The middle school example was just to refute your point. Namely to show, despite the lack of degree-granting/admissions/pecuniary incentives to cheat, students still will cheat for short term perceived gains, with negative effects for everyone in the process.

I'm a-gonna go now, because I feel like you're being willfully obtuse.

On the topic of combatting disinformation, has any government rolled out a plan to educate the public on critical thinking? Did it work?

I'd love it if the names of common logical fallacies were known by everyone and anyone lying to the media or making unsubstantiated claims would be immediately shut down e.g. "that's just a character attack, you're not answering the question".
Here’s a password strategy I began using that allows me to commit every password to memory while keeping them unique (I don’t trust pw managers):

Letters representing the service + Constant text + year + constant ascii

E.g for this site it could be "hackblabla2020__#"

Then for email it could be "emaiblabla2020__#"

Then it also forces me to change it once a year-ish
In fact there is a way or two.

The extra resistance (2 to 10 milliohms probably) of the wire between the two boards, together with the smoothing capacitors on the downstream board, acts as a low pass RC filter.

Also the capacitors on the PS board may be low-inductance types, and filter HF noise more effectively than the caps on the amplifier module.

Having the diode bridge further away from the amp module's inputs means the antenna action of the rectifier's leads is less effective: the RF power of over-the-air rectification transients at the inputs is reduced by the square of the distance.

The layout of the amp as shown is good, except that I'd shorten and cable-tie wires to help prevent hum loops.

When I was making a Kickstarter video, I used Keynote to arrange videos side by side, mask them, and change landscape/portrait orientation. The output is surely not high quality, but if you are already experienced with Keynote and don't need 4k, it's actually a pretty handy tool.

It did the trick for me (my Kickstarter got funded!) and I later wrote a blog post about how to use Keynote to add special effects to video on the cheap.

Fair enough. Wishing you a lot of success!!
I'm totally with you on Trump not starting any wars (which is a low bar for a US president, but one which is rarely hit).

However, his treatment of Israel and Saudi Arabia were perhaps 100 times worse than any previous president.

He moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, which was incredibly inflammatory to both the Palestinians and the wider world, and will make it very, very difficult for any peace deal to be signed there (as the Palestinians want it as their capital).

His support of Saudi Arabia, regardless of their extra-judicial killings was another low point in the US relations in the middle east.

The other "peace" deals he signed were more caving to particular factions rather than bringing them together.

Ask HN: What Happened to WASM?
I looked around to find the state of the art in WASM demos and they’re around 2-3 years old.

There doesn’t seem to be much development activity or obvious well known WASM projects. People don’t seem to be talking much about how they’re building stuff with WASM.

I thought there might be UI/graphics for building applications. Couldn’t see much.

WASM seems to have gone nowhere.

Why?
Yeah I’m not talking about a launch. Sounds like you need help finding your tribe online.

> A debugger can do anything. You can't outthink a debugger

Yes that's what we're saying. So you deoptimise when someone starts debugging.

> and shouldn't try

You'd get extremely slow code with this approach!

> Speculation is when you guess and need to have a guard in case the guess is wrong.

Yes, you're guessing that nobody will attach a debugger and you're guarding that no debugger has been attached. That guard is usually implicit.

> They're describing a situation where it can't be wrong and you wouldn't need to speculate.

It can be wrong... if someone's using a debugger. So you need to speculate that they aren't using a debugger.

I wrote a PhD about using speculation and deoptimisation to solve the problem of people debugging optimised code.
