Haven't heard of levinboot yet, LGTM, thanks for the hint!
Where do you get your entropy from? Does levinboot provide some (enough?) to the kernel? Right now I delay booting via a sleep in the initramfs so that I have time to randomly press as many keys as possible to get crng initialized before cryptsetup is called. Configuring my U-Boot build to provide entropy to the kernel is still on my to do list, haven't looked into it yet and don't know whether it already does or not. At least last time I checked I observed that KASLR didn't work due to missing entropy (the artificial delay won't work here as KASLR happens way before calling init).

Exceptional edge cases, like flagging inappropriate content, are open to abuse. This is especially true for highly automated systems like those run by Amazon and Google but I think it occurs on community sites like HN as well.

It is unfortunate that these trust based systems are being abused.
Having a choice on when to use the existing string formatting methods is a feature. I tend to use ‘%’ a lot for it’s compactness and f-strings most more rarely (admittedly there doesn’t seem to be much reason to use .format these days).

In general I don’t understand the need to hard-standardize code. Making subtle decisions depending on context is an important part of programming, please let humans decide and don’t use these types of tools in commit hooks...

After watching The Crown (it's fiction I know), being royal seems to me to be incredibly tedious, boring and downright limiting. Sure you can jet off to a nice country, but you are very limited in what you can do, where you can go and who you can talk to. Mess up just once and the tabloid media will be all over you.

Honestly would much rather be poor and free than be "royal".

I do think they serve a purpose, and tradition is important to many people (I know the progressive-types want to pull all that down).

There are so many aspects of adtech that are ethically neutral. Just as advertising itself - there are even ads created by great creators that are works of modern art. It's only when it's abused adtech becomes evil.
My introduction to Haxe was Haxeflixel (https://haxeflixel.com/), an Haxe game development library inspired by flixel (http://flixel.org/), an older AS3-based library which was pretty known in the late 00's in the indie games community.

As the top comment mentioned, I was particularly impressed by the ease of cross-platform development in an age where bigger tools like Unity were still picking up steam. Coming from Game Maker, Haxeflixel felt like the natural step forward. I enjoyed it so much I wrote a book about it: https://discover-haxeflixel.com/

The people behind it launched a fairly successful fundraiser a few years ago so I'm happy the main developer and contributors got something back for their open-source efforts. As far as I know the library is stable - I just about updated the book a few months ago to re-rewrite references to the Flash (RIP) and move people towards the html5 exporter instead.

I still think that in an age of 10GBs+ AAA game development framewords, Haxe and Haxefixel still have a place for your typical 2D / Pixel Art-ish arcade game, although more ambitious and successful games have definitely been made, like Defender's Quest (http://www.defendersquest.com/) from Lars Doucet's, a huge fan of the framework.

But that is exactly jedberg's point: To get them to stop doing this, there needs to be regulation that ensures that if you invent alternative systems like this, you get penalised if you wrongly take content down.
Honestly, it's scary to see how eager people are to uphold the law, completely divorced from morality or ethics. No, the law isn't absolute. The law isn't just. The law isn't moral. It isn't the only thing that matters. It shouldn't even be the main thing that matters. The biggest problem with capitalism is the eagerness of its keepers to bend to authoritarian influence and sustain authoritarian instances as long as there's money in it. It's the whole tolerance of intolerance paradox all over again.

Not quite. Nowhere in those paradigms is the "pretty objects" part implied. But it does put some version of "I'm hungry" as passing the "wanton" threshold for killing something "awesome".

Which in my opinion is the real weakness of this proposal. You won't find me destroying something I consider awesome unless I'm actually starving.

Leasehold is extremely common in UK property. Virtually all properties in multiple-unit buildings (flats/apartments) are leasehold, so “buying a lease” is pretty normal.

If the Monarch’s exemption to the normal leasehold laws was secretive and not known to buyers at the time, then it’s a problem.

I think that, in this specific case, this is pretty clear: If there's a culture that does not allow a dictionary to define rape, there's something wrong with this culture.

I'm certain most Americans agree with me here which makes me assume that this specific problem is not one of culture, but probably scale and an absence of responsiblity at Google.

The more general question is interesting though, because it could go several ways. For example:

You could argue that people should anticipate that the platforms they rely on are not under their control (and should maybe act on that).

Or one could argue that the platforms should anticipate the diversity of cultural standards they are catering to by easing their moral rigidity. (For example through a more diverse/decentral company structure, etc.)

Here in Europe, some approach a somewhat similar question with some form of data nationalism, for better or worse. It plays into the same realization that there is an unresolved cultural difference between global platforms and local standards and intends to politically support local initiatives, corporations, etc. That, I think, doesn't solve the problem, but shifts the level of granularity.

Great problem, many angles.

I looked into OCR a while ago for some hundreds of thousands of pages of PDF. All hosted offerings would end up costing quite a bit.

It converts the PDF to an image for Tesseract and then recreates the PDF with the text copy-able.

By encouraging the use of non-DMCA notices by providing increased ability, above and beyond the DMCA, to take content down, they reduce the legal risk of not properly handling a DMCA notice simply by getting fewer actual DMCA notices.

It's a win-win for Google and the copyright holders, but a loss for everyone else, who loses the (very limited) protection provided by the DMCA process.

I can see you really dislike the whole idea of monarchy, but "grass is always greener on the other side". Republics, including mine, have a lot of corruption woven into their political systems. Many recent presidential elections around the world were very close, with the losing side relentlessly accusing the winners of corruption and conspiracy.

There is no happier afterlife once you get rid of a monarchy. You get a quasi-monarch with an opportunity to change him/her every X years and all the vile, disgusting, hateful polarization that comes with those elections in the era of Twitter.

Cry me a river. Police, when using the powers that the people gave them, should not have any problem being held accountable for what they are doing.

There's a difference between an individual (and that may also be an officer off-duty) being live streamed without consent or an actor acting on behalf of the government like a cop or a politician being live streamed.
The crazy thing is that Google even took this action despite it also being against their interests. Sure, your business specifically is relatively inconsequential to them, but they must've made hundreds of thousands of similar mistakes. That's a fair amount of ad inventory to miss out on, surely?

Google accounts have enough worth & history associated with them that they should be able to create some kind of appeal process whereby if you jump through the right hoops proving identity and such, you could eventually reach a human who can intervene?

It feels like they're religious about the idea of having an algorithm decide everything. Works pretty well for some things, but they sure do burn some customers/clients pretty badly along the way for other things.

I've seen this sort of thing happen many times. What usually happens is the original team that built it leave the company or move on to other teams, and the one engineer left actually has a different job as well now but is stuck supporting it part time as a favour. It's not that you couldn't assign other engineers to help support it, but they wouldn't have any idea how to do so because there's probably no documentation and only that half an engineer around to show them how it works.
Sorry if it seems I'm digging in my heels on the "equivalent" part, I should've worded that differently. If you were trying to find an equivalent Dutch sporting event to the Superbowl it would be the Eredivisie.

But the point of the analogy was not to make a perfect equivalence to the Elfstedentocht, that would be impossible. The point was to convey to an American audience some semblance of the national importance of this particular sporting event.

Hi everyone, this the Creator of ExampleConfig.

I encountered the following problem:
When editing configuration files I sometimes reached a point where I messed up the config file pretty bad. No point in trying to fix things, when clearly a fresh start makes more sense.
Turns out finding the shipped original version of the configuration file is actually pretty hard. If you are lucky you find this original config file on some random GitHub Gist or accidentally indexed FTP server.
You probably know this situation.

Solution:
I went ahead and built an archive of these clean, original configuration files. Now you and me got them all in one place.
They are collected from a fresh installation of the application (Apache, nginx, MariaDB, etc) on various Linux distros (Debian, CentOS, Alpine, etc). This is important because config files differ slightly between Linux distros.

Tech:
Frontend: static site generated with Hugo.

Backend: applications are installed in Docker containers. The shipped configuration files are fetched and the containers are destroyed. This process is repeated for every Linux distro.

The goal of ExampleConfig is to provide a collection of original, unaltered configuration files for multiple applications.

Let me know what you think, what I should improve and what applications/distros you are missing and so on! (especially since this is my first time launching a product)
>Not only are they viable, they are hugely more profitable without the human expenses.

I don't believe this. The reputation loss alone will cost you a lot of potential money. Stadia is basically dead because the Google brand is completely untrustworthy. B2B customers want to avoid Google as much as possible because it's just a liability that threatens to ruin their business.
Our Stack at a $10M Fund
Probably, though with secretary filtering etc, that and it's easy to sweep under the carpet - this is an old school way of going public about a problem in that it peer-pressures the CEO to actually respond and under public scrutiny. More modern day approach would be some epic social media post that goes viral or is from somebody with a lot of followers.

I would also say today that a hand written letter is more likely to get a response from a CEO than any email.

Yes, and so is deciding what context matters across a whole team or team-of-teams.
It took well over a year for them to address it, and only after blocking many of the people who raised the issue and denying it was an issue. The nature of the problem meant that people were being detained because Signal was misrepresenting the degree of protection it could reasonably provide.

Coming from this space, I can tell you that the fear of operators to _maybe_ break 0.1% of their customer's experience is a solid ground to not update.

I have seen these discussions first hand (in Europe, early 2000) where we had to convince super large providers that they should update the crypto (an other issue: the refresh timing of the TIMSIs) and accept that some old (blackberry mainly at that time) devices would not be happy.

Think about the numbers, some of these national providers have 20 million customers and there is nothing more expensive then 200.000 people contacting customer service or even leaving to the other provider since their phone does work there...

Isn't it also due to heightened security measures, which have increased in pretty much every sport over the decades? The non-race of 2012 sounds like it possibly could have happened and I would assume would have happened in the ~40s under similar conditions.
> As ice grows thicker people from all walks of life start to get involved to organize the event.

This is not completely accurate. Sure, koek-en-zopie stuff might be organized by local restaurants or whatever, but the Elfstedentocht itself is prepared (almost) completely every single year. There is a whole foundation with internal hierarchy that oversees the process. The whole parcourse can be constructed on a 48 hour notice. The waterschappen don't stop their pumps out of hospitality or something, it is all pretty well organized.
