Hi @adamnemecek! Regarding your question:
You can read more about licensing here - https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/. It's one of the top security standards, and any merchant should consider it to protect his own and his clients' payment data.
I can't recommend you anything regarding a specific license for a product you sell though.
Regardin payment processing: the choice of a provider toally depends on your monthly sales volume. Typically, smaller businesses opt for popular payment service provider options like PayPal or Stripe, while medium and larger businesses either go for a white-label payment gateway or build their own one.
Building your own payment gateway requires initial development fund for the team of paytech experts but in the long run, you'll be able to save a ton with it. I like this piece covering this issue - https://softensy.com/how-to-create-payment-gateway-and-becom....
A white-label payment solution, in its turn, allows to fully brand the payment gateway. So, the merchant will strengthen his image thanks to the state-of-the-art technology developed and maintained by the third-party provider. The fees vary depending on the industry. Here's an example of a white-label gateway - https://get-started.akurateco.com/. You can request test access to the platform to see what it looks like inside.
Can't really help with the delivery tools: don't have much experience with it.
I hope this helped!

yar, maybe it should've been about js size, ideally closer to the 200kb-of-js club
Right, it's not about taking away user control, because users have the same exact level of control that they had before. Firefox/Chrome still offer all of the same customization options, and you can even turn off DoH entirely.

What it is about is that the defaults for pretty much all OSes are bad. Maybe if we lived in a world where DoH was shipping by default enabled in Linux/Mac/Windows and set to something private like Cloudflare, it would make sense not to even provide browser options at all.

But as it stands, the current solution (while a little unintuitive and hacky) give you the best of both worlds. If you're a normal user, you get secure defaults. If you're a power user, you can go into Firefox and point at your own DoH provider, or turn off DoH entirely if that's what you want. And if you're an admin deploying Firefox on a network, you can deploy it with a custom profile that sets its internal DoH/DNS settings to whatever you want.
I have the stupidest nitpick but the report's author (and everyone tbh) should use ISO 8601 formatted dates:

> Any company that wants to survive long-term doesn't do that.

I have a list of at least 6 large corporations who do just that. When I worked at Polaris, they re-developed all of their sites on a six month rotating basis so if some new fangled tech came up, it was easy to take advantage of it. They were one of the first companies I knew who were running full-stack JS apps in prod before most people were even considering it.

Even where I work now, its all about speed to market. Get it working, release it, and then all the execs and upper management types pat themselves on the back about how awesome they are because they got a janky ReactJs app for users to use in less than 6 months. Several months later of fixing all the problems, they start talking about just scrapping the whole thing and starting over.

Its maddening to think these people believe what they are doing is somehow groundbreaking in software development. When in reality, they're just releasing a really poor version of their software, spending more months fixing it than the time it took to get it released and then killing it or transitioning to some new shiny framework they want to use instead.

OP was spot on in what my experience has been the last 10 years of my working in large corporations and small agencies.
Honestly half the reason I argue for rubocop is to avoid having readability discussions with other devs when I don't have strong opinions. I've discovered that I am nonplussed by patterns that leave other devs downright emotional and it's just not worth the effort to discuss, especially when 99% of readability issues (eg naming) are absolutely undetectable to rubocop. Having a consistent style allows splitting styling and, erm, more fruitful readability discussions.

Anyway remember you're writing code, not poetry. The inclination to act as if you're writing the latter without any kind of cost/benefit analysis is a major reason I dislike working with ruby devs. If only I were actually writing for powerpoint slides rather than for concrete business ends!

This is one reason I tend to tell people traditions are stupid if there is no reasoning or thought behind them and the only reason is "because it's always been this way". Humans need to start using pragmatism and logic and forget about those traditions and cultural attributes that no longer serve a purpose in the now.
> This is not possible for any subreddit centering on a topic which is not famous enough to have entire departments of universities about it, such as, for example, Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Nintendo GameCube.

This was a fun thing when Starcraft 2 was new and it seemed like literally everyone on the /r/Starcraft reddit page was "high Diamond" league. (Diamond was still the highest league at the time).

Considering that only 25% of all players are in Diamond league and the game has no way of telling you whether you're low or high within the league, this was clearly bullshit. But everyone on the forum very desperately needed to validate their whining about "balance" by putting a veneer of being "skilled" on it.

You can save data to a path on the filesystem, so one way to do this is with a network mount. Lots of academic departments have their own GPU clusters, and they tend to have a shared network filesystem.

We want to have more ways to do this though. We were close to adding SFTP support, but didn't get round to it. Another method could be to implement our own server, but we're trying to keep it simple for now. I'd be curious to hear your feedback here: https://github.com/replicate/replicate/issues/366

Is there any detail as to whether or not they'll show ads on demonetized videos/accounts and not pay the creator?

If they do that, that seems perverse. Isn't the purpose of demonetization to prevent showing ads on videos where the videos aren't conducive to showing ads? If they show ads on such videos then that seems to defeat their argument.

> Many apps can get away with only using TAI, so they don't necessarily have to track the difference between UTC and TAI

Most systems don't need to keep the difference between UTC and TAI to display the UTC time anyway. TAI matters when you have to manipulate the non-zoned wall clock (as opposed to date and time components) and that's surprisingly rare.

> If your system uses TAI in its distributed coordination mechanisms, you don't need to worry about leap seconds and an error in the UTC-TAI difference won't cause your system to fail

This is a legitimate concern, but TAI is not the solution (you should probably be using PTP or GPS clock if you do care that much) nor an essential part of the solution (any monotonic clock, including "leap smears" and UTC-SLS, will do fine). In fact I think most perceived benefits of TAI are actually of monotonic clocks and not inherent to TAI, and UTC is already monotonic... (Yes, I'm distinguishing the actual UTC and time_t; for the latter there is a relatively simple conversion to monotonic however.)

There comes the time in the life of every professional where he is called upon to be interviewed or provide input to the press.

And when they read the article or see the video that is produced, that is the day they lose faith in the press. True 50 years ago, true today.

This is true even if both sides in good faith are doing the best job they can. The media always has its own agenda, which is never identical to the goals of the profession.

Ten times worse if advocacy is involved.

Shameless plug, but this is something we are working on right now.

Social media is a terrible medium for news. Aside from the ability for anyone to post anything, which can easily lead to misinformation, it also sets up the absolute worst incentives. If news organizations are expected to share their reporting for free, and only be able to monetize when someone clicks through to their page -- you end up with clickbait.

It also means that virtually all local news is silenced. Almost by definition, local news appeals to a narrow audience, which doesn't lead to the scale social algorithms favor.

We're trying to take the convenience and brevity of social news updates, but use them to build a new platform that helps reporters and surface trustworthy, local news. We make tools for newsrooms that then syndicates out to the consumer platform, before an article or video is ever even made. (We are to news what OpenTable is to restaurants.) And through rev-shares, our partners succeed when we do.

https://www.forthapp.com is our consumer side, https://www.nillium.com/newsrooms for the newsroom SaaS.

> but all the journalism/media professors felt it was a bad idea, probably because it is such a threat to their profession.

Why is it a threat to their profession? We'll still need journalists. and they'll still need training. This seems more like a hiring/staffing problem. Media outlets should start hiring more grads with double majors or non-journalism majors who can write.
I do agree your first point about keeping things simple. The problem comes when you grow big enough to then need these complicated things, it becomes hard to "turn the ship" re-engineering everything. I could easily argue that laying down the "main" parts of your intra up front, especially on new projects, might be worth it.
Expert to me implies long experience across a variety of challenges. Long-term editors leaving sounds like another challenge, but it doesn't invalidate the expert status.
Those things are all great and probably far better optimised than your average should-be-static site serving bloat.

This site is listing transfer size, so if you serve it with "Content-Encoding: gzip" (as you should) you should be all set.
Existing search engines should add a query term to filter by page size.
That would be ideal, but many people who major in those topics would likely go into careers doing those things, rather than journalism.

However, journalism might make an excellent choice for when they retire but still want something socially impactful to do that leverages their long experience.
I actually cannot get enough information from doing that. Crucially, I need to be able to recognize whether two file descriptors point to the same open `file_struct`. (To be clear, this isn't the same as whether they're pointing to the same file path. I need to know when the two file descriptors are sharing the same cursor.) There is no way to do this using existing APIs, because there is nothing identifying a `struct file` besides the memory address of the struct. (The "open file IDs" I mention are hashes of the `file_struct` address.)

I did spend a lot of time trying to avoid writing a kernel module, and this was the only way I could find to do it :)

> That’s a feature, not a problem.

It can be both. In the dying days of several community forums I was on, I noticed the conversation got more and more centered around links people were finding on Reddit or Digg. That was my first inkling that the days of bulletin board style forums were numbered. These sites are like genetic algorithms for surfacing content people want to discuss. So even when they want to discuss it with closer people than the firehose of Reddit, they're bringing up the same links and content.

It's only a matter of time, though, before people prefer to just go to the source. And that kills the forum traffic.
I don't know if the solution to silo'ing everything in Discord as opposed to Reddit is any better? The medium is different enough that small sized communities can be far more active than a similar sized one on a forum or subreddit, but on the other hand as a member of a few communities with a few hundred to a few thousand people it's a nightmare to keep track of the conversations and requires far more mental engagement throughout the day.

This is already built into the browser. Your browser sends "Accept-Encoding" listing what decoders it has (ex: "gzip, deflate, br"), and then the server may encode the body with any of them. If it does, it will send "Content-Encoding: gzip" or similar to indicate which it chose.

You don't need compliance from the populace if you close the airports. Preventing them from driving is an entirely different proposition, but most people would not be able to make the drive due to time and distances involved. So closing the airports would probably be pretty effective, if you also shut down trains. The airlines would hate it, but the car rental places would see a boost.
Apple does fractional scaling in all their laptops. And the reason it doesn't always look great is that everyone has decided to do integer scaling and then scale down for fractional scaling instead of just rendering at the destination resolutions. Most things you care about for sharpness are already resolution independent (fonts, images) and would just work. Both Chrome and Firefox already render the whole browser in a resolution independent way but end up being rendered at 2x and scaled down for less sharpness and performance than just asking them directly to render whatever window size and scaling factor is needed. Hopefully Wayland will end up fixing this IMHO bad decision.

To avoid all this right now it's possible to just pick 1x or 2x and tweak font sizes to get a good mid-step. For a single screen this always works, but it makes combining different ones harder.
Generally, I have tip my hat to The Economist Here. Even on the things I think I know something about, they seem to get their facts straight.
