Honestly, because I don’t really have any network equipment (not even a real switch yet), so the dream machine pro actually reduces a lot of the purchasing I’d have to do to get everything working. I could cobble together it’s functionality out of other parts ... if I already owned those parts. But by the time I bought a home server and a real switch, I’d be out more than the Dream Machine Pro costs.

Assuming it does everything it says it will on the tin, of course.
Agreed! But an ISP should be a dumb pipe, so this is wrong.
Seems awfully complicated, slow and error-prone to use full blown RSA for this. Why not send a challenge token and hashing salt and ask the user to reply with the (effectively one type password) crypto_hash(crypto_hash(salt, password) + token)?

On the backend they already have crypto_hash(salt, password), they know the token they sent so they can build the same hash and see if it matches. This way the backend actually never has access to the non-hashed password.

The only inconvenient I can see is that you can't transparently rehash on login on the backend if you decide to migrate to a different, potentially stronger hash algorithm later. But then again if the worry is that passwords could leak in the backend, using hashes makes it effectively impossible by construction.

I guess nobody gets fired for using RSA. But at the same time doing "serious" crypto in JS always feels icky to me.
> There was plenty of evidence, but it's apparently a thought crime to say so.

Can you please share some credible evidence?
A bit unfair considering the exact same could be said for another large bubble with 's/loses/wins/'.

To GP, you could add more than snark. The most strongly proclaimed message is that there's a stolen election to be stopped. This is a very bold claim, and while I'm don't disbelieve that there could be election fraud, (1) it's not a square function: the magnitude of the fraud would need to be considered; and (2) some evidence for such a strong claim is needed.

Trump has had 3 years of actual governing to address things like stale voter registries where dead people, say for example, come out and vote in the order of 50,000 (a claim I have heard but can't comment on it's strength). To use that now is disingenuous. But then we're just here guessing what Stop The Steal even means because noone is explaining it sufficiently.
So reports of pipe bombs that never went off is more terrorizing than 2 billion dollars worth of damage? (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8740609/Rioting-140...)

Which law? The one that says “shall not be infringed?”
Are any of those things unconstitutional?

If so, take it to court. If not, then suck it up.

I'm tired of apologizing for my country to every group with a grievance and a camera. Especially when they all invariably claim to be loyal citizens and patriots.

Now along comes an aggrieved group that wants even more than my apology, they want me to give up my constitutional order. How 'bout NO.

That attack at the Capitol has put me over the top. You want change? Vote like everyone else and accept the outcome. It's time to stop coddling these people.
Back in the good old days of independent dial-up ISPs, the owner of one of our local ISPs (somehow a logging town had more than one local ISP...crazy to imagine now, isn't it?) found Jesus and decided to filter all traffic for objectionable/"adult" content.

They went out of business within the year.

Oathkeepers / Three Percenters
Sorry. I wasn't aware of anything involving Parler's lawyers. The mass harassment of lawyers (leading to withdrawal) that I'm aware of involved Trump's lawyers. Perhaps they were retained by a corporation (idk), but I would find the question of corporate personhood irrelevant because Trump could just have retained them personally if he needed to.

To be clear, I don't think that the Trump lawsuits had any merit or should have been brought in the first place. But they should absolutely have been allowed to go through the normal legal process so they could be convincingly rebutted. Sending hundreds of threats to law firms should not be a political tactic in a democracy. That does nothing but give ammunition and validity to conspiracy theorists.
I believe that happens when HN suspects the account is from a person who was banned previously, based on IP's and/or some other heuristic. I've seen dang say something like "If you create new accounts to break the guidelines, eventually we just start banning your new accounts."
Market entrenchment is an unfortunate side effect. The oligopolistic old guard can weather or ignore such criticism against themselves and lobby for their own Section 230 protections, while using such to eliminate small market entrants.

So what’s the definition of a terrorist then? “Politically motivated violence and has a pipe bomb”?
I 100% agree with you.

I submitted this because after seeing all these alternative social media, messaging, etc links the last few days I remembered the dreams of the aughties and thought OpenSocial deserved some attention.

The other link I submitted today was for WASTE - the Nullsoft anonymous encrypted P2P chat client from the early aughts, but that one didn't seem to gain traction.

Many of these ideas have been around for a long time in a much more rational form and should be re-visited and built upon instead all these fly-by-night knee-jerk response apps.

Sounds like reasonable open internet regulation, like the type that "The Left" has been fighting to get for decades, would have really been something useful for Republicans to not oppose simply because of its popularity among the left.

Instead, we are left with mega corporations being the arbiters of their own platforms, Just like those supporting deregulation wanted.
Israel respects the rights of everyone - and much more than any other country in the Middle East, arguably more than many countries on the planet, where even holding fair elections is not a given and free speech does not exist. Most Middle East countries don't even pretend to be democracies - Israel actually is. And yet it is singled out for hate again and again.

> Israeli law explicitly says that only Jews have the right to national self determination

That's a lie, the law doesn't say that. The law says Jews have the right to national self-determination in their national state - Israel. It doesn't say it is the only case possible of national self-determination, neither could it - how would Israel possibly make law for all other nations in existence?! Just as Japanese have it in Japan, Koreans - in Korea, Swiss - in Switzerland, and Mongolians - in Mongolia, Jews have their national state in Israel. That doesn't mean a Jew in Mongolia or Korean in Switzerland do not have human rights - but it does mean Korea would have Korean and not Mongolian as state language, and that people of Japanese descent may have easier time to get Japanese citizenship than people of French descent. Presenting this completely common occurrence as something exceptional and a proof of "racism" - all the while many other countries around it literally run violent ethnic and religious cleansing, murder their own citizens for "blasphemy" or being gay or wearing wrong dress - with absolutely no complaint from the likes of you, and singling out Israel for exclusion for completely routine and accepted practices among many nations... I can't really decide if it's Antisemitism or plain idiocy, neither do I care. It just another proof that censorious hate for free speech, and willful ignorance often walk hand in hand. You are literally ok to destroy everybody who you think - scratch that, who your feed on twitter, prepared for you by your betters, told you - are "bad", without even trying to understand. And then you pretend you're some kind of enlightened being...

The DailyStormer got "canceled" by vendors for not even trying to moderate content that actively promoted violence (among other horrible things). Now Parlor gets "canceled" by vendors for not doing a good enough job trying to moderate content promoting violence. The bar for getting "canceled" is already moving down...

I fail to see how this is a movement of the bar.

Based on these two examples, the bar seems to be that a site gets canceled if a site is used to promote violence, there is a riot, violence happens, and people return to the site to celebrate and promote future violence. That was the bar in both 2017 and 2021. Doesn't seem to have moved.

Given the fact that the attack on the Capitol was a direct attack on the US government, if anything the bar has been RAISED.
Oh, it's not just the US. Other countries have restrictions as well. Societal norms impose restrictions too. Unless you're an anarchist, there have always been (and probably always will) be restrictions on speech and free speech is typically meant in the domain of political speech.
If they don't agree they don't have to use it. It's dishonest because the characterization suggests that sovereign nations are beholden to tech companies, but they aren't.
That always sounded like nonsense to me. It doesn't seem likely that a medical practitioner would have specifically reached that assessment and publicly released the information so soon after the event.

This kind of behavior by facebook is only going to radicalize people and make them extremely suspicious of anyone that disagrees with them.

I don't see how continually looping back to semantics and pedantry helps advance this conversation.
I don't deny that such people exist. I deny that they are a significant fraction (> 20%, say) of Trump voters. A Nat Geo shot doesn't address that issue at all; it just paints a picture that "they're all like that".

And you seem to be trying to paint the same picture. And I'm pretty sure that you're wrong.
I guess I could have pointed it out more clearly: I'm going "used enterprise" as the route for replacement. As you say, yes, this switch was $2500 new (that's what I saw when I looked), but I bought one for under $100 on ebay.

Similarly for the Ruckus R610 AP I mentioned: Those APs were a grand new, but you can get them for a bit over $100 on ebay. Linus Tech Tips did a comparison of it with other consumer units, doing heavy multi-device streaming, and Ruckus was the clear winner.

Yes, Ubiquiti looks like a good value and they make some very interesting products. I've used some of them to great effect over the years. But my experience with the NVR and cameras and switch and Cloud Key has been relatively bumpy. Enough so that I'm ready to ditch the convenience for up-front loading and hopefully day-to-day more realible.

It’s unfortunate but maybe the tech balkanization has an inverse Conway’s law effect.

IANAL, so I'm curious: would this count as a breach of contract with its customers?

I.e., is an ISP implicitly contracted to route packets between its customers and the entire publicly visible Internet?
1. We don’t know what advice they were getting and when, and it’s the advice not the liability that matters.

There were only two articles of impeachment. How was that "running up the list of charges"
I think that just because a philosophy is misused, or used as an excuse for anti-social behaviour, doesn't make it less of a philosophy.

As a few of the comments on the article already notes, the article is more of an off-the-cuff opinion piece and not really a deep discussion on what is philosophy and why stoicism doesn't qualify.

One could say "Stoicism Is Not a Philosophy" is not a post on whether stoicism is a philosophy.
There was a lot of pearl clutching about chaz and other BLM violence as well. So were they terrorists?

You are fortunate. I've encountered at least two dozen different bugs that were only resolved with a reload (or in some cases reverting to a previous save). And the crashes, my god. I would wager at least one crash per hour or two of play.

That being said, I think it's a fantastic game (though somewhat shallow in terms of choice) that I am still having a great time with.
That's the theory, it's not my point.

My point is that a market maker will not carry an option position that is impossible to hedge due to the underlying liquidity. In other words, he will not carry a gamma position that is not "in line" with the liquidity of the underlying.

I may be wrong, but the article is about buying a lot of short dated (high gamma) call options from a market maker and hoping that he will drive the market up while hedging his position.
Running copper is a hard requirement for me for other reasons, so at that point I might as well go with a non-mesh setup as well.

Most people in the Polish software industry works on B2B contracts, for 30-50% better pay. And we typically don't need employment protection, since there's a line of employers eager to hire us. "Normal employment contracts" are for losers (Ok, they are useful under some very specific circumstances e.g. when you have a newborn baby and need a lot of paid sick leave. Outside of that situation, you're simply leaving money on the table by choosing employment contract).
"You can't censor us, we censor you!" - In all seriousness, this only hurts the ISP's customers. Interesting business tactic. We'll have to see how that plays out.

"A crowd of morons busting into the Capitol building, calmly wandering the hallways, and taking selfies"

Your information is out-of-date. The images that came out on Wednesday gave the false impression that it was all morons in horned helmets taking selfies. The video footage that has come out since then shows that there were also extremely violent participants.

This video segment from MSNBC helped me understand quite how wrong my initial impressions from Wednesday had been: https://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/chris-99178053752
I'm sure this will go well with their customers /s
One of the three was trampled by the crowd, which rarely happens in non-crowd settings.
> calmly wandering the hallways

I strongly disagree with this characterization of a mob that was chanting "hang mike pence", erected a gallows, trampled a woman to death, and killed a cop.

Some of them were calm at times. Then again - so were the 9/11 terrorists, in the airport before they hijacked planes.
I won't. I'm just trying to determine what this has to do with showing the content. Authorities could have benefitted by seeing the stream, so this isn't a clearcut issue. Do you remember live 9/11 coverage? Were you telling people not to watch that?

It's the incitement that we should be concerned about, and balancing restrictions with peaceful freedom of expression.
Ubiquiti has a polished interface that's relatively simple to use for something with enterprise-ish level features. They also have some pretty good docs. For example, their article on the harms of Broadcast/Multicast packet storms [0] is useful even if you're not using their products. Same goes for the RF Antenna patterns docs [1].

That said, my next router/gateway won't be from Ubiquiti. Though I'll keep using UI access points for now.

Poland sadly doesn’t even have an independent judiciary so seeing these fundamental rights experiments in Poland of all places is worrying.

It would be great if things like this could be spearheaded by countries that aren’t in that unfortunate state. I fully expect Hungary to follow if they haven’t already.

I'm glad to see this misinformation downvoted, but in these troubling times it's important to restate the facts.

There is ample and well documented evidence that there was strong Russian influence on our election in ad buys, concentrated highly to spread falsehoods and change the entire election's results. Anybody saying otherwise is trying to snow us. Calling this a "hoax" is telling us that there are five lights when there are four.

OK - I didn't buy into the lofty expectations and I don't think you're understanding my point. My point was that even a platonic ideal of Cyberpunk wouldn't have lived up to expectations - I was surprised by how mediocre the reviews of the plot and quests were - which is a major part of why the blowback about the technical deficiencies has been particularly intense.
Mostly what you need is sensible people that value democracy. That's all that's really required. If you have that the rest tends to work itself out, if you don't have that then nothing else matters.
The issue is the storming of the capitol last week is directly related to online disinformation, propaganda and the lack of removal of violent and lying rhetoric, and finally thanks to some real world violence the online companies are starting to crack down just out of fear of culpability and likely eventual regulation.

> It's interesting that I've heard that in years past but from my friends on the right talking about Democrats and violent protests.

The issue with this is one is rooted in reality and one is not. The biggest danger to US citizens right now is due to right wing violence, not left wing.

> For example we use Vertica and DBA told us that Vertica loves wide tables with many columns, which doesn't look very Kimball to me.

I have heard advice like this from colleagues and frankly I don't buy it. It certainly isn't gospel. I think it's an oversimplification.

Columnar stores love star schemas. You can get away with a single table model too but you still need some kind of dimensional or at least domain-based thinking. Your single table is going to basically be a Kimball model but already joined together.

No database is going to be happy with joining orders and billing. The single table is still just going to be a single fact table, you just degenerate all the dimensions.

Personally I think you can gain a lot of benefit from doing proper stars because you get more sorting options but I'm a Redshift guy so maybe I'm stuck in that headspace.

I'm still waiting for someone to come along and propose something different but honestly Kimball's dimensional mental model still resonates with me. Are there compromises, can you relax the model more? Of course, but you're still going to realize huge benefits from starting with that approach. I don't think there is some "new" way of thinking that really changed the data space. All the innovation is on the compute side.

I have precisely zero Vertica experience so maybe I'm totally missing something. I'd be happy for someone to tell me I'm wrong.
All Democracy's, including the United States, have limits on freedom of speech. Try publishing Harry Potter fanfiction in book stores in America and see what the court system does to you. Try showing female nipples on network television and see what the legal system does to you. Try sticking the Apple logo on your product without Apple's permission and see what the court system does to you.

Free speech= democracy isn't a very nuanced view.
