It is way easier to find a software vulnerability in a backend you have the code for, instead of probing a black-box backend for vulnerabilities. For instance, you can use static analysis tools to discover vulnerabilities.

Isn’t the revenue number kind of misleading ? Essentially it seems like it is the total value of the transaction and their revenue should essentially be the take rate from the transaction.
i think what op might be referring to is what tuning 'A' sounds like. e.g. some orchestras will tune at 415 to play older music

FreeBSD Valuable News – 2021/03/01
This seems like a great move forward for Element, looks like this is angling to replace the New Vector offering they had a while back?

The pricing is certainly odd, though. For 5 bucks a month I run my own server with almost a dozen folks on it, which requires basically zero maintenance (I can count the number of times I've had to go in and restart it over the past two years on one hand). Double that for a limit of 5 users (with another $2/user surcharge) is high for what I'd expect is a logical separation of tenants under the hood.

I know some of the Matrix folks pop in to HN threads from time to time, and I'll readily admit my woeful inexperience in all things business. That said, could someone enlighten me as to how the pricing strategy was determined? It seems like the better route would have been to create an obscenely cheap plan on the low end for groups/families and push for enterprise adoption (perhaps even with increased prices, $75/mo for 25 users seems on the low end at first glance).

Edit: Just re-read the first paragraph and caught this: "You can just enjoy the fact you know you chose someone you trust (us!) with your data." The whole reason I'm using element is because I don't trust anyone else with my data & social connections, and so I'd like to own as much of that scope as possible. I'm sure it's just a poorly worded marketing zinger, but it's unfortunate nonetheless.

Spies that are foreign citizens acting to help their own country are not usually considered traitors. Even if they assume a fake identity. So a Russian citizen spying US on the account of Russia would be a spy, but not a traitor. These spies are indeed usually captured (if discovered) and eventually exchanged.

A traitor would be for instance a US citizen spying on the US to help China, or Russia. Or a Chinese citizen spying on China to help the US. This is a much more perilous situation than just being a spy...
A judgment has already been given, which Frogwares lost.

The judgment, in october 2020, said that frogwares had illicitly tried to end their contract with Nacon. They were condemned to pursue the contract. Hence Nacon has published the game as it was the object of the contract.

Okay. So Chinese government keeps pumping money into Huawei, Xiaomi, Tencent, Alibaba, Tiktok and many other businesses so that they can ..... make money? You have to ask an economist for how this works, I am not intelligent enough to figure it out.
Agreed, people don't, because historically they haven't had to. Who would think that their computer's software update mechanism, streaming music account, calendar sync, and the mechanism that allows them to make phone calls from their computer would all be tied to a credit card account, and if they accidentally missed a payment on that credit card (and not just any payment, but a payment when part of the balance includes a product from the card issuer), they'd lose access to all of those things? It's pretty unprecedented.

It's the same thing that people complain about with Google all the time: do something slightly weird with something related to your Google account, and you lose your email, photos, calendar, documents, chat, mobile payments, etc. all at once. And while this instance with Apple was terrible, at least there was a way -- even if incredibly convoluted -- for an individual to get support and get things fixed. With Google, you have to get enough social media buzz that someone high up enough at Google notices and fixes your problem in order to avoid even more bad PR.

We really need some sort of legislation around indiscriminate account bans and recovery procedures. Too much of people's lives depend on their interactions with Apple's and Google's services. Mistakes can cause so much havoc. It's nearly criminal that this is still happening.

At a high level it's a matter of doing the following:

* Persistence needs to be moved to something that isn't specific to a single dyno/can be shared across dynos (i.e., not local RAM or disk).
* Updating your app code to check that shared store
* Now you can scale up to N dynos, the limit on N usually determined by your budget or when the level of concurrency creates performance issues in some other connected system (e.g., the shared persistence).

For the type of use case you've got, specific to Heroku, what I've normally seen people do is use Redis as the shared bus or just refactor the app to use Pusher Channels (https://elements.heroku.com/addons/pusher) directly.
Correct - for OCD it’s diagnosed when it affects about an hour a day of someone’s life.

My therapist used to host a support group for OCD and always mention at the start that most OCD sufferers would do anything for the disorder to only affect an hour of their day.
'Why Learn Haskell?' is not a very hard question to answer nowadays since it's one of the most 'Perlis Language'.

I hope there's one day we can answer 'Why Use Haskell?', and enjoy all the elegance and preciseness it has to offer. In reality, however, Haskell is the language that continuously and intentionally 'avoiding success'.

Scala was the 'Haskell' in the engineering world a decade ago and still is. There was a trend of hosted languages like Scala and Clojure. It was a way to attract the audience because it was the de-facto platform. Nowadays this trend started to die out, and new generations are more on bare metal, like Rust and Go.

It seems like there's a niche that looks like the new Scala while on bare metal, targeting engineers while without all the historical syntax.
Another possible explanation is this isn't a bug, but intended behavior. If the browser hasn't been used for 90 days, this might be a good indication that the phone has changed hands, and you need to generate a new ID.

Thomas Sowell compared the academic results (or IQ. I'm not sure which) of black children of US soldiers growing up in post-WW2 Germany and black children in the US. The German kids outperformed the US kids. The systems of education were similar. The racial biases were similar. The difference is that Germany did not have a black subculture. The US has various subcultures - redneck whites (self explanatory), redneck blacks (gangster rap) - both of which are, loosely speaking, anti-math. Adapting teaching styles and "systems of education" to such subcultures will not improve outcomes.
That is not a fair assertion, as source confidentiality to limit wide-spread computerized and manual inspection of backend code to find flaws is just one of many tools to mitigate attacks.

For instance, in this case a group with sufficient security research skills politically opposed to some of the gab users seem to have utilized the source-code to find a vulnerability the Gab team had not discovered yet.

> By telling the story the way he did to the teenagers he is not just showing that he sexualised the people he was interviewing at the time but was revealing that he was likely sexualising the women he was travelling with as well.

Wow, this is really going past the far end. It was a story of cultural clash and slightly bewildering situation for a relatively inexperienced reporter at the time, to go from there to essentially accusing him of pedophilia is many steps too far.
I don’t think they have much of a choice. When I’ve gone there after large news events and they have unflaired people able to post it turns in to /r/politics 2.0.

In the case of Gab "many eyes make all bugs shallow", but those eyes in this case had malevolent intent so the value of those extra eyes is dubious for a platform with as many high-skilled tech enemies as Gab has.
You're right; our natural bias would be to distrust the Chinese more, because culturally and politically they are so far removed from us. So actually we should be suspecting the Americans and Japanese more than China to counter our biases.

Could China possibly have infiltrated as much of global communications networks as the NSA & Five Eyes have for the past decade and a half? Not likely! If we didn't have such successful digital espionage programs, would we instead rely on our corporations to spy on our behalf? Very likely, seeing as we've already done that too.

Privacy is dead. Everyday people are not concerned about privacy. They don't care that someone will potentially see their "How do I cook a hotdog" search.
After looking into it more, I see that the instant credit system is the culprit.

1. Apple instantly gave Dustin the credit (because he opted into paying monthly). From Apple's site: "If you pay monthly: We’ll apply the value as an instant credit to lower your monthly payments."

2. Apple failed to send the box

3. Apple tried to get its credit back by charging the value to the Apple Card

4. Dustin didn't update the bank info, so Apple couldn't get its money back as the card denied the charge.

5. Apple's fraud alarm went off.

Apple gives you instant trade in credit if you pay monthly. While that's unique to the Apple Card here in USA, other countries that don't have Apple Card offer financing too. It's not out of the question that instant trade in credit is offered to countries that don't have Apple Card but also offer financing on Macbooks too.

Everyone is at fault it seems (more on Apple than Dustin). Dustin failed to update the bank info, Apple failed to send the box, and Apple failed to communicate properly.

I did the same with the Apple Watch. I bought my last Apple Watch using monthly payments, so I got instant trade in credits. I was sent a trade in box, but my cousin wanted to buy the Watch off of me so I never sent in the trade in. Apple simply charged the trade in credit on my card after not receiving the trade in.

Problem solved.
I've always assumed I had OCD but never sought help so I've never been officially diagnosed. I'm officially 'agitated depressed' which as I understand it is the old name for type II bipolar.

Since I was a kid I had problems with lines when walking. My right foot always had to cross over first, and completely(i.e. not step on the line). I remember in my teenage years starting a counting ritual where I had to turn on an off a lightswitch a certain number of times, usually 3 but not always(always odd though) when I entered or exited a room. I had a praying phase, despite being sort of an atheist, where I had to pray 3 times a day for an extended time just to quiet the thoughts of imminent doom. Lots of other rituals but I've mostly forgotten them by now. I remember having issues with 'doorways' like if there was a support cable from a telephone pole over a sidewalk I would do everything I could to avoid it.

Fast forward to my mid 20s and I became a rather heavy pot smoker. That allowed me to confront my fears since I was basically too lazy to endure all the rituals. I had some relief but over a few years the rituals slowly came back in minor forms. For a while I could only turn one way in bed. I still have to have every knife in the house pointing away from the bedrooms. I don't have checking rituals, I just handle it when I see it. Most of my compulsions have some sort of abstract rule behind them, like spoons facing away from most of the house(because they're taking away), my wallet sits with the money coming towards me on my desk, etc. It sounds absolutely insane and stupid when I verbalize it, but it's a constant fight to keep my brain from making up these sorts of arbitrary rules.

I don't know if 'neat freak' type OCD folks feel the sense of extreme doom that I get when I resist a compulsion. I haven't discussed my experiences much with other people. Apparently OCD 'runs in my family' but I don't think that's backed up by a diagnosis. I know my family and I have essential tremor, tics and depression. My uncle thought we all had Tourettes but he was an odd ball(very likely autistic) and didn't get taken seriously.

I feel like overcoming some of my OCD was a mixed bag. Some of that obsessive, abstract, rules based thinking made me a better engineer. It was also something I could occasionally harness for good, like getting compulsive about brushing my teeth or cleaning.

Absolutely this. One of the first thing that an ISP's NOC will tell a business customer, when they're complaining about ICMP loss or high latency to some intermediate-hop seen in a traceroute, is to test against the ICMP loss and latency/jitter to an endpoint destination.

Preferably to an endpoint destination that is some sort of server which isn't firewalling/rate limiting answering ICMP, and not a firewall or router.

You can see what looks like terrible loss and jitter to intermediate hops in a traceroute, but traffic to your your VoIP server that is 12.3ms away on the far side of those hops and several AS-to-AS adjacencies, might average 0.00% loss over multi week periods, with less than 0.3ms of jitter range.

Customers will also be advised to use other tools that can measure success/failure and RTT answer time of other services and daemons running on the endpoint they're testing against (at OSI layers 4-7), such as the various ways of measuring DNS lookup query time, or time to curl a sample file from an httpd over TLS1.2/1.3, and plot that on a multi day/week chart.

For their own protection routers and other network equipment with packets flowing through them deprioritize answering ICMP.
It's not that we don't know how. We just can't accept the results.
I feel very productive in statically typed languages like Rust and Swift but hard agree on Typescript and I’ve said it here before. It feels like the worst of both worlds, extra code and dependencies for limited type safety. The amount of times it causes some issues with compatibility or a library has missing or incorrect typings has left a bad taste in my mouth. Granted I always work on small teams or alone though.
No, it is simply a joke that plays on the difference in cultural significance of toplessness, and on his clahs of expectations at the time (he was expecting to interview one girl on a delicate subject, but found himself swarmed by 20 girls dressed in a way that is cause for embarrassment in his own culture).

His account does show that he payed little mind to how the teenagers he was there to teach were likely taking his stories. He is guilty of misjudging his audience, and of making them feel uncomfortable. He is not guilty of anything else, at least based on his own account (obviously, reality may be arbitrarily different from his own account).
I believe Xiaomi being Chinese is kind of red herring here.

The thing about big data is you never know in advance what kind of data can turn into a gold mine for your business. So the strategy "collect as much as you can afford and get away with" is economically reasonable if not optimal. Until this changes, nothing will change. And Xiaomi is not an exception here.
How did you regulate your dopamine levels? Stimulants?
When I moved from the US, I spent six hours on the phone with Apple trying to figure out why we couldn’t move our family subscriptions from the US to the new country. I bounced around from one support tech department to the next. Eventually they told me they’d call me back. About ten minutes later I received a call from a support VP, she was able to discover I had a failed payment on OSX, for $12. She wrote it off and transferred the accounts to the new country.

It was pretty entertaining in retrospect.
Historically, sure. But at a realistic modern internet speed of, say, 15 MB/s, 1500 bytes takes 0.1ms to transfer. Even at 1.5 MB/s it takes 1ms. Typical VoIP call latency apparently ranges from 20ms to 200ms, so packet size is not a major contributor.

Over time I got a feel for sites that do this, and as a practical matter I open those in private/incognito, then just click through. Commercial blogs, how-to sites, news, especiallyfrom the US: almost never compliant.

I do judge. It makes me a bit less receptive to Frogwares' message, that they do this on their company blog
I couldn't agree more. Software companies have latched on to the idea that they can sell software but the users can never own the software. This naturally led to worse abuses when the software could be loaded over a network. But the core problem is the assertion of ownership and control.
