Would you bet your fortune on an email or a video?

Already the monetary currency of most countries is built on sand and one is well advised not to hold all one's assets in cash. Until someone finds a formula to produce gold cheaply (like diamonds), it will continue to be a useful currency with good inflation protection; of course, you wouldn't invest your entire fortune in gold either. But with Bitcoins, we have more of a situation like we had with investment certificates; they may also protect against inflation if everything works as promised, but they can also vanish into thin air very quickly.
If every news outlet told google to remove their articles or pay them then google would have to weigh up the ad loss from people no longer searching for news on their platform and potentially moving to another search platform. This is what the free market offers. However Google's monopoly position makes this challenging.

There is also the regulatory route where the will of the people demand change.

In France such an agreement was just signed: https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/21/google-inks-agreement-in-f...

I'm not clear on the specifics but it seems clear thst Google is on a PR campaign to avoid impact to their profits worldwide from such moves.

It sounds like you agree with me: the reason Python does not have multiline lambdas is not that it has significant-whitespace, but other decisions including the “expressions may not contain statements” rule.
Surprised that this was released... should be secretive
Yeah your point about it being a fairly low % of average transaction value is valid, the % is highly dependant on the current market price of bitcoin, though.

The $73 is not strictly related to the transfers fees but rather to how much it costs to mine a single bitcoin. If the total numbers of transactions were to decrease by 99% the energy cost per transaction would be $7300 but that wouldn't mean that transfers fees would increase that much or at all (if I understand how btc transfers work correctly it should decrease since there would be less people bidding) as long mining bitcoin remains profitable.

If currently 900 coins are generated per day, the cost to generate 1 bitcoin (234003kWh at $0.1 per kWh and using the yearly energy consumption value) is $23,400 in addition to that miners also received 150 coins from transaction fees in the last 24 hours. So if 150 dropped to ~0 the number of miners should only decrease by 14% to maintain the same profit margins.
I once built a web scraper with GitHub actions and just used gh-pages branch as my datastore

I eventually moved the service to a $5 vps + crontab because I wanted to manually set the cache control headers when serving my scraped data (updated hourly)
I genuinely feel for the people laid off.

With that said, wont Instacart, and other similar business models that rely on grocery stores and human labour to fulfill the orders, simply start becoming obsolete in the coming few years as robotic fulfillment centers[0] start popping up all over the place?

Perhaps these centers will not service the most rural of places, but then again I imagine these services (i.e Instacart) are mostly used in more densely populated areas anyway.

> really, genuinely, truly don't understand why people insist on understanding this only in the context of partisan censorship.

Well the fact that the riots were organized on Facebook for the month leading up to it certainly looks inconsistent.

> If Big Tech really, truly wanted to censor conservative opinions for partisan benefit... why did they wait until months after the presidential election to do it?

You mean until right after the elections that took away all of the Republican power to regulate tech? Seems like a great time to do it.
There should never exist a rubric known as "things you do not discuss" in any society that takes open debate and free expression seriously. Discussion is not violence and it should always be defended as a freedom regardless of how boorish or controversial its subjects. The very idea of such a category is grotesque and cowardly, to start.
> VPS hoster

> so I decided to encrypt my disks

Where is the data encrypted? Local or remote? If its done remotely, whoever owns the hardware and has root on the host OS has your private key. Even with rented servers, where you are root, the KVM is king.
Store things encrypted. (For example I sync my KeePass DB via Seafile.)

Plus as far as I know neither ownCloud nor nextCloud went through a security audit and they are big piles of PHP with a lot more complexity than Seafile. So it's very likely that there are more bugs in phpCloud than in XiFile.

If you want some real security buy a DropBox/GoogleDrive/MSOneDrive subscription, hm?
> ownCloud Infinite Scale neither requires Apache nor any PHP infrastructure

I don't know much about production web services in Go, but is it true that they wouldn't need Apache?

I work on a site using Python/Gunicorn and Node behind Nginx, and Nginx is really doing a lot of critical stuff for us, normalising requests, preventing certain classes of security issues, DoS attacks, etc. I wouldn't expect that sort of protection to be built into Go's standard HTTP server?
Seeking Freelancer PHP, lumen, laravel?
It's a great point. At present there is always the opportunity for another search engine to come along and take search traffic from google. Thinking in the time frame of 50 years I would guess that Google's monopoly will erode eventually. We shouldn't create precedents that could impact future competition.

Go has good support for TLS and HTTP serving, so you can directly expose a Golang service to the Internet without a web server in front.

Many people still choose to put nginx or caddy in front as a load balancer and TLS termination though.

Just curious but why go for gnuplot (and awk) rather than python or R? At some point you run up to some limit where you want a bit more capability. I don't know that the learning curve is that much less for awk + gnuplot?
Same for cars interfaces. My 17-years old BMW has 0 big touchscreens, for everything there is a manual knob/button. I've found out I don't need more. I tweak most of stuff I need like AC and radio while driving without losing contact with the road even for a split of second.

I know from my experience that I took my sight off the road, there could be an atomic blast in front of me and I would hardly notice it. Somebody slamming brakes in front of me might be peripherally noticed but without context could cause a stupid and dangerous reaction.

When Tesla started basically putting tablets instead of knobs some folks cheered. I couldn't be more sad for this trend. Clearly worse direction for those like me.
If something like this would occur, it would be comparable to the burning of the library of Alexandria. That's why digitizing the collection is such an important feat.

Art isn't only something that can be revered. Works of art are basically historical documents that contain a narrative of that period. It's not all self-portraits of people missing an ear or reclining nudes, even though they too contain a lot of information that is telling of the period they were made in.
Up until some two hundred years ago artists like painters and sculptors, were some of the few that could actually immortalize, or at least significantly prolong the normal lifespan of people, things or events.

I encourage anyone to take some time to go through these online collections. It's amazing what you'll learn about history by being inquisitive about the subject matter. I can also recommend the Arts & Culture project by Google, which already indexed a tremendous amount of the Rijksmuseum's catalogue.

I have some contacts that use Signal, and others Telegram, and so I end up using both apps on a day to day basis.

Signal is secure by default yes, but their UX/UI is very lacking outside of "basic" communication, which ends up being the use case for me.

Messaging that's media-heavy or involving stickers, GIFs, multi-accounts, links (Instant View is amazing), or file sharing is better achieved in Telegram, in my experience.

In some ways they both support different security postures, with Telegram being more flexible with opt-in E2E so the user can take advantage of the cloud features, while Signal foregoes these bells and whistles for a most-secure-by-default approach.

It seems to me thats it could be interpreted as a choice vs. opinion, but I wouldn't go that far.

For me, Telegram is akin to org-mode; the Saved Messages personal cloud is where I store all my links and files that I need to share between my desktop and mobile devices, and I make use of private Groups to further aggregate links and ideas, not to mention groups and chats where bots for things like Integromat, IFTTT, UpDown.io, etc. provide me with information. Telegram's native applications really make a difference here, they are a cut above the rest compared to today's messaging offerings, in my opinion.

Hence my messaging and contents to some extent is governed by which app I use, but I don't ask my Signal contacts to use Telegram because if we're both chatting on Signal, we know why. Vice-versa, I don't ask Telegram contacts to use Signal because in general those chats are with my SO and friends who need overall security that's feature-rich but not bulletproof 24/7.

That being said, I appreciate the article clearing up the technical differences for a wider non-technical audience, I do have a feeling however that when users experience both apps they'll make a decision to use them based on UX/UI more than anything else (skewing towards security or features as they personally see fit).
> The lesson I'm taking away from this is just use a license like they're using now from day 1

You’re welcome to license under SSPL (or AGPL) if you wish. But if you want commercial customers (or even users), you’ll have to bear in mind that licenses like SSPL are a “no” (or at least, requires legal review) in many commercial entities, including startups.

Licenses like SSPL won’t give you the growth a new entrant could potentially get with a more commercially friendly FOSS license, because your potential users/customers will see it as a proprietary product and evaluate you as such.

In Elastic’s specific case, iirc a major competitor for them was the proprietary Splunk, so Elastic being FOSS really helped their case. Had they been SSPL from day 1, their growth trajectory would have likely been different.
Forget ownCloud, Nextcloud is orders of magnitude better either as a company and as software: https://nextcloud.com/

It is my favorite self-hosted software of all time. It's really a dream to use!

The AGPL license makes it impossible to disappear or becoming closed source, which is a huge plus!
> a scale significant enough that there are, annually, news cycles about the psychic toll Facebook moderation takes on the army of people Facebook pays to do it.

Funny you should bring those news stories up, because they are often focused on how understaffed these efforts are. On a moderator to 100k user ratio, Facebook and Parler had effectively the same (0).

Just because Facebook pays a few hundred people to suffer ongoing psychological trauma doesn’t mean they are doing anything more than paying lip service to the complaints.

Marketers reveal how they use dynamic video ads that convert
Teslas casting machines are just bought from Idra, are they not? If Toyota thought their self-developed casting processes (they do that for nearly a century and had 2500 ton machines since the 1970s) are not competitive, they could simply order the same machine from Idra.
It's actually quite simple. In a addition to a web call we record a separate high quality tracks for both audio and video locally.

The challenge was doing all of this in browser since the APIs are not really consistent + there are a lot of weird bugs and issues with both MediaRecorder API and IndexedDB.

We spend quite a bit of time setting up logging for client app. Since most of these weird issues are very hard to reproduce. (For example Chrome randomly purging binary blobs after storing them in IndexedDB)
It is also worth noting that Telegram has a much larger marketing budget due to their future plans to monetise groups chats with advertising. The non-expert (as targeted by this article) is much more likely to read positive articles about Telegram than negative ones. They are also more likely to hear about Telegram over Signal so it will be unsurprising if Telegram grows faster than Signal imo. I believe that Signal is advertised primarily by word of mouth.
Except [I believe] it should be called out to help the author become aware of the rigidity in thought of they are unaware of it. Perhaps they truly believe something is the only truth., and then they can defend their authoritative statement if they wish.
having checked some images - they offer 4500x4500 variants at ~4.5MB .. so roughly 3TB of data. Maybe artvee.com will import them into their collection?

2020 – My Year in Review
I am surprised you found their personal number. This used to be commonplace but less and less so over the past decades.
And you nailed it perfectly "Personally, I always clicked to read more if I wanted to know more about a certain topic."

The crux is that all those "information" sites want you to click even if you are totally not interested with the story.

That's why you get all those titles like "prime minister was running around naked", so you think "what the heck is going on with our PM", and then it turns out it was prime minister of some obscure country and it happened 30 years ago.

Today clicks matter, page overlay adds matter, subscription invitations matter, and so on. Google cuts significant number of those if you can see a snippet of the article and it is clear that there comes some cheap click-bait.

That's why I setup my Linux install to work like a live-CD, with a two layer filesystem: a read-only base, and a read-write overlay that lives in the RAM.
The files that I know I want to keep are bound from a read-write partition on the disk to the RAM filesystem, and all the rest gets deleted every time I shutdown my PC.

A lot of pieces of software non-maliciously keep records of everything you do with them through logs or caches that aren't straightforward to delete and it's the only way I found to have control over it.
I think the intent here is that you are escaping into an interpolation context…

As with most builtin language HTTP servers it is advised to run Nginx/Apache/Caddy in front of it.

I think what they mean with PHP infrastructure is the specific configuration required to make Apache work with PHP, in the old days this was with an Apache plugin, or more recently the php-fpm project.
Really well said, this is also my own experience in many projects.
So just because a country is a democracy, Google has to do business there, and if they choose not to, that's dictatorial and an attack on the country's sovereignty? That's a strange argument.

> Plus as far as I know neither ownCloud nor nextCloud went through a security audit

This is inaccurate. Nextcloud does receive security audits and is in fact also used by quite some security-conscious organizations (to name a few: German Government, Siemens, ...)

There's also a bug bounty program that pays pretty decently considering the company size: https://hackerone.com/nextcloud. (Remote Code Execution = 10k, Auth Bypass = 4k - compare that to rewards that the FAANG pays and you'll see it's not that bad)

> and they are big piles of PHP with a lot more complexity than Seafile

I did a small audit of Seafile years ago and I don't think that argument flies.

For example, they copied https://github.com/django/django/blob/23c612199a8aaef52c3c7e... to https://github.com/haiwen/seahub/blob/b6f8935c0f355cc70145f9... and removed some security-critical checks. They removed the check for the password hasht here. (https://github.com/django/django/blob/23c612199a8aaef52c3c7e...)

Furthermore, the Django secret key was generated as shown at https://github.com/haiwen/seahub/blob/b6f8935c0f355cc70145f9....

```
def random_string():
"""
Generate a random string (currently a random number as a string)
"""
return str(random.randint(0,100000))
```

That's not really secure and copy-pasting Django core code and then removing security checks ... is shady at best.

Disclaimer: I wrote a significant part of the ownCloud code (https://github.com/owncloud/core/graphs/contributors), then forked it into Nextcloud. After some years I moved to Facebook to do application security there :-)

I also like and run NextCloud, it is the "cloud" back-end for my entire family. That said, it seems to me that this means that OwnCloud en NextCloud are now truly diverging and OwnCloud is not just a less feature rich version of NextCloud. I think it is very interesting to see what happens to OwnCloud now. I mean, imagine OpenOffice being rewritten with different technologies from LibreOffice... I'd be interested once again!

Google has a right to decide the taxes are too high and withdraw from the market.

Telegram’s group chats are unencrypted. Telegram’s direct messages are not E2E by defaulted, and when secure messaging is enabled, many features stop working (like desktop support). Telegram has plans to monetize metadata just like WhatsApp.

Revenue is meaningless, profitability is the important thing. Amazon was net income 0, but it was always enormously profitable, it immediately spent that money on growth.

RedHat wasn't really that profitable. Sure it also spent billions on growth, but Amazon spent hundreds of billions on growth. (Sure, Amazon is a conglomerate, from books to gadgets to groceries to basically everything and the biggest digital infrastructure platform on top.

Elon Musk Targets Telecom for Next Disruption with Starlink Internet
News made their money through ads. Now no one buys ad real estate on newspapers so they have to serve google adds on their websites which is a fraction of the income they would get.

Google is eating up the lunch of news, so news have to find another way to monetize. Of course, we come slowly but surely to the understanding that News are essential to the society even without generating profit. But who pays the bills??

Government cant without making them depended on them and hence biasing the news. People are not seeing the immediate value since they are spoon fed this clickbait, bigot garbage and they think they are "up to date. Forcing the ads behemoths to share the pie seems like a logical step, although, its ill-executed and ofc the incentive for Google would be to minimize that cost.

This game is now getting started.
