The only solution is to vacinate at much, much higher rates than they are doing now. I don't know what is holding it up, but I imagine that setting an agressive deadline, say 2 weeks, for everybody to be offered a vaccine will get things moving, so long as the penalty is sufficiently harsh. Maybe holding politicians individually responsible for each dead as manslaughter?

Basically I am tired of politicans doing jack shit and expect the rest of us to dance to their tunes.

Step 1, get a custom domain so you can migrate providers easily. It costs like 6€ a year, definitely worth it.

Step 2, Fastmail, Protonmail M$, ... will be happy to offer you email for few € a month. If you'd desperately need to save money on that, there is Czech provider Seznam.cz that offers email on custom domain for free. Only issue is that the registration is in Czech, but Google Translate your friend: https://emailprofi.seznam.cz/login It's like a biggest local internet company, not totally random provider, so should not just steal data or disappear right away and works reasonably.
I have a tiny application. Yet it involves 5 containers. Some of the applications are a pain to install unless you go with a specific linux distribution and use their existing package. I don't have the time to manage all that crap through a labor intensive method or manage 5 separate servers when I can do it on one with containers. When I have to do things quick and dirty I just use a shell script with docker run and that's fine for 90% of projects because they don't pan out anyway. I can trivially switch to docker compose and then if I need scaling go to Kubernetes. It's a 100% solution. For the smallest prototype to large scale solutions. If you manage your servers manually you will either have to learn ansible which is just plain awful and difficult to use or you spend a lot of time doing everything yourself. Both cost time at the start of a project and many people don't have that time to waste on useless purism.

Could someone please explain why the article lists OpenSSL license as problematic, while in-explicitly hinting that LibreSSL doesn't have that problem? How could that be the case if LibreSSL is just a fork of OpenSSL? Surely they can't just change the license without rewriting everything from scratch.

Can confirm, I've made some pretty extensive scenarios with JMeter and while not exactly fun to do it works great. We integrated "normal" requests with WebSockets in the scenarios.

Fair points. I don't scrape/spin any content, and I would argue that it's easier to write 500 words than 50, but I can see how my content might run afoul of an automated system. Plenty of the comments on this thread make similar points.

There hasn't been a liberal belief that obesity is some optimal state of being, but it is a polite society belief that crapping on an obese person is rude.

I guess but if it is for cross border communications then you could just run it digitally on twitter or like website.
This is all hand-waving. The reality is no one knows how any of this works, and there are more than twenty different interpretations.

If you can prove conclusively there's no randomness and no collapse and no need for either, a Nobel Prize awaits. If you can't - most likely - one opinion is as (in)valid as any other for now.
No there are big differences. For example in China FAANG could easily be stopped from doing things they shouldn't while in the US it takes years and years of lobbying, talking to the media, making backroom deals, sitting on ones arse, changing the laws so it isn't unlawful anymore, etc.
> Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

BearSSL is still beta-quality, s2n has not reached 1.0 (weekly releases are likely to break things), and BoringSSL has no guarantees of API or ABI stability.
There was such a Russian scientist, biologist - Lyubishchev A.A. 1890-1972 y.
He counted his personal time since the age of 25 years and all the rest life.

it is not possible to install both OpenSSL and LibreSSL on the same system.

Why would this be the case? Do they use the same file names?
It's like the reverse of a boat breaking the ice while navigating the North Pole, I imagine you want to be moving towards entropy and leaving behind the opposite, in the edge between certainty and novelty.

But also in loops, because we have to unlearn time to time, and break the ice, ok now I'm lost in my own metaphor :D
> Making a livelihood by getting paid for the work I do and its value on the market [...]

You're only getting paid because people have to pay you the market rate for your work. If a musician creates and records a song [1], releases it at market rates (say, 2 USD), and everyone can just copy it without repercussions, he won't be able to make a living, no matter how productive he is.

[1] Which entails many hours of work, plus equipment costs.
> color palettes are mostly a thing of the past

> With HDR and wide gamut on the horizon, things are moving even further away to ever requiring any form of dithering.

My impression is that, if anything, the almost total dominance of sRGB (in the consumer space) is coming at an end in the digital mediums, on one side from the generalization of wide gamut and high dynamic range transmissive LCD/LED screens, and on the other end the rising wave of both (higher frequency) black & white and color e-ink. (And I'm still hopeful for the resurrection of transflective LCDs, like in Pebble.)

So I would expect dithering to come back, either to avoid banding on lower bit per color displays, and/or 'add' colors to lower color gamut ones.

For instance, my 2009 LCD is a 8bpc wide gamut one (and fairly high dynamic range too). So if I were to take full advantage of it (leaving sRGB), I would require dithering to avoid banding.
> The problem now is that a lot of cryptocurrencies are prime targets for money laundering, financing organized crime and terrorism networks.

You cannot fight money laundering by demanding something that does not impede launderers as such.

I believe prime majority of laundering happens in 100% legally compliant businesses, and banks.
A Broke YouTuber Set a Scam That Could’ve Made Him Millions – But Didn’t Take It
In the twitter thread "A comparison of colony management games", not here with the city builders, as it's not really a city builder sandbox.
The EA2003 Part 2 applies to territories with which the UK has extradition relations in place but aren’t designated as category 1 territories. Yes, there is a threshold requirement that a relationship should exist. No, that does not mean you automatically import all the language in a treaty into domestic law. It is not strange at all.

Calling it “novel”, “strange”, “contentious”, going against what “commentators” expected (who? why do we care?), etc are all pretty much just your opinion, man. All you’re really saying is that you still don’t understand how you can have two different kinds of law and have them operate in different ways, which is perfectly okay. It’s tricky. I don’t think this HN thread is going to do a better job of figuring out if the judgment is right about the EA2003 being self-contained than the actual UK appellate court system. If we dive any deeper than “there are different kinds of law and here are the ways they usually interact” then even those of us here with law degrees are out of our depth without doing way too much research for HN.

But rather than directing your ire at today’s legal reality at this judge, maybe you should be angry that the EA2003, rushed through Parliament in the wake of 9/11 with very little scrutiny as is SOP for almost all NatSec legislation floated in western democracies since then, appears to cut off the protection against extraditions of political offences for anyone — terrorists or journalists - despite this being a common exception in treaties and I think may have been a significant part of the old scheme. Just skimming old reports I think this problem may have been raised but not addressed before passage. As I said in my first post, this is a deficiency of the EA2003, not a judge making up “novel arguments” (afaik this has never been actually tested since the EA passed, so you can’t really call it novel) and creating a problem. The problem has been there for 17 years.
That sounds remarkably like the Williams-Kilburn tube:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_tube

> The Williams tube works by displaying a grid of dots on a cathode ray tube (CRT). Due to the way CRTs work, this creates a small charge of static electricity over each dot. The charge at the location of each of the dots is read by a thin metal sheet just in front of the display. Since the display faded over time, it was periodically refreshed. It cycles faster than earlier acoustic delay line memory, at the speed of the electrons inside the vacuum tube, rather than at the speed of sound. However, the system was adversely affected by any nearby electrical fields, and required constant alignment to keep operational. Williams–Kilburn tubes were used primarily on high-speed computer designs.
There is some weird sort of logic with 2.

For example, when I worked in Cairns (cape York Australia, which serves a massive area with a large indigenous population), aboriginals have a belief that people going to the hospital go there to die (because people who have been sick enough to go to hospital... die). So yes, hospitals kill covid patients, because patients sick enough to need to go to hospital are sick enough to die. I know you’re kind of writing in jest and looking for sources but the fact remains that admittance to ICU (when I did my ICU term, at least in Australia and at least when I did it - my brother is an ICU trainee and I raised this number with him and he said it’s lower than that now, here) carries an all source mortality risk of 30%. 30% of those who are wheeled through the doors go out in a bag.

To relate this to COVID, generally ventilators don’t cause an increase in mortality just because you are on one. This was a surprising finding during the early days. It is also contrary to what we find in influenza patients, where it is usually life saving when a patient gets too tired to breathe in their own but still has enough good lung function to be able to respire with their lungs (the alternative being ECMO, or artificial blood gas exchange). I’m on mobile and it’s late so am not at liberty to pull up the research but I recall the consensus being that there was a contradiction: patients who were sedated and ventilated were being so done on the basis of a rapid deterioration in o2 sats; but generally we’re still alert and potentially orientated. It was quickly found that prone positioning (putting a patient on their front to get more gas exchange to the apexes of their lungs) could keep then unventilated and they did better - a lesson learned pretty quickly as regions of Italy and the UK ran out of ventilators
I don't know if it's still true in 2021 but it used to be kind of difficult to valgrind C and C++ code that linked with OpenSSL since it did some tricks that confused valgrind. You would usually have to recompile OpenSSL with a special preprocessor flag (-DPURIFY).

This was one of the advantages of just linking with LibreSSL on Linux.

While I don't test my software directly on OpenBSD, I do test it on both Debian stable and VoidLinux and using valgrind on Debian used to cause some pain.
So many dimensions come to play here.

1. There's the obvious legal aspect i.e. how these laws are framed and interpreted.

2. Then there's the geopolitical aspect. Is it fair to impose sanctions on Iran.

3. There's another aspect around GitHub policy that asks if an entire organization be banned for the location of one team member.

4. Finally, there's the aspect of relinquishing control. Your app development is on the cloud. IDEs are on the cloud. Deployments are on the cloud. App stores are on the cloud.

You have relinquished so much control, why be surprised if that stares you back in the face?

Ironically, Git is a decentralized version control system.

Interesting. I've struggled with the balance of explaining my process vs. getting out of the way of the recommendations. And for that matter, how many products is the right amount to feature. The earliest iteration of the site only listed 3-5 products per category, which may have been an inadvertent sweet spot. I had hoped that my awards program would help people to learn more about my selection process: https://www.goodcheapandfast.com/articles/value-award-winner...
Who knows, probably? For the rest of the "Does X block Y if Y is in Iran|Other embargoed country" questions, the answers are either A) Yes, you'll get banned or B) No, they haven't thought of that yet, but they'll add banning as soon as they figure it out, as the law requires it.
Because of the scale at which Facebook operates, and the various antitrust etc investigations constantly surrounding it, they probably have every reason to be circumspect in such cases. As much as I am personally in favor of transparency, I can understand why Facebook thinks it's not in their best interest to communicate any reasons for severing business relationships. Anything they say can and will be used against them, and pretty much nothing they say will benefit them.

I set up my email server for reducing GMail dependency.
It was a bit a pain because Outlook.com banned my address, but Microsoft offer mw a way to resolve the issue and now I am appy with it.

Now I use GMail as secondary email address along with my other emails, and avoid to use google docs.

On my home network I installed PIHole and it works quite well.

I live with no fear of banning and I am free to express my idea on my self hosted wordpress blog, and decide what to advertise in total freedom.

So, I don't have any insider knowledge, but I just googled the license of OpenSSL [1]. Apparently, since 3.0.0 it uses the Apache License v2. So maybe LibreSSL is forked from this? Prior versions of OpenSSL seem to use some different OpenSSL License. So my guess is the article references this special license.

"the law includes declarations that makes companies unable to sell services/goods to certain countries" is not the same as "if GitHub doesn't ban users from Iran, they are breaking the law".

GitHub could comply with the law without completely banning users who access their service from Iran, e.g. by making their website unavailable for Iranian IPs or by making paid features unavailable.
There are many situations where we want infinite recursion. A simple example is a server:

def serve(request):
response = process(request)
socket.send(response)
serve(socket.receive())

The same thing applies to anything which 'handles events', including servers, games, GUIs, CLIs, etc. In general, any time we might write a "main loop" like:

foo = lambda z: ....
bar = lambda x: ....
baz = lambda y: ....

def main():
z = init
while true:
x = foo(z)
y = bar(x)
z = baz(y)

This is equivalent to having each step perform a tail-call to the next one:

foo = lambda z: bar(....)
bar = lambda x: baz(....)
baz = lambda y: foo(....)
main = lambda : foo(init)

The latter form has better encapsulation, requires no mutable state, doesn't have stale/out-of-date variables, etc.

The fact that infinite recursion is seen as a bug, yet "while true:" loops are common, is a symptom of this negative feedback loop which keeps people from learning and using recursive solutions.
Here is a cross-browser compatible workaround, courtesy of Gavin Kistner from phrogz.net:

.pixelated {

image-rendering:crisp-edges; /* CSS4 Proposed */
image-rendering:pixelated; /* CSS4 Proposed */
-ms-interpolation-mode:nearest-neighbor; /* IE8+ */
}

And if you want to do pixelated upscaling while drawing an image on a <canvas> element:

const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// turn off image smoothing when upscaling with ctx.drawImage()
ctx.imageSmoothingEnabled = false;
