In the common case of receiving a compressed tar over the network, it should hopefully be protected by at least a checksum or hash, if not a cryptographic signature.

If I expect I may have to deal with some form of data corruption (such as long-term archival media), I'd rather add a layer such as PAR2 [0]. Rather than content myself with "if the tar file is corrupted, I can probably recover most of the contents", erasure coding gives me confidence that I can definitely recover all of the contents, with confidence they're not corrupted, as long as I have enough parity data.

Instagram Lite – Made in Tel Aviv and New York
Well to start it would eliminate MASSIVE amounts of gov't beuracracy.

The entire disjointed and bloated gov't safety net apparatus of food stamps, WIC, Rental Subsidies, EITC, disability, unemployment, and more. would go away along with the bloated salaries of the people who run all of those programs.

So massive amounts of tax money would be saved at the start.

UBI is actually a small government conservatives dream.

Then there's also the possibility that the jobs it creates from increased demand due to an economy with a much higher flow of money, could have a deflationary aspect which would allow the money printer to go brr a little bit.

Then also, who know what kinds of new innovation would happen from smart people free to pursue their own goals without worrying about financial insecurity.

Taxes would go up on the rich probably moderately.

But it's doable and affordable and the country would be so much better off in my opinion.
I need some good resources on how to make themes for this.
Show HN: Open-source minimalist mobile/web app to find your current neighborhood

I assume it's because to lay people don't distinguish a domain name, an FQDN, eTLD+1, URL, "web address", URI, etc. and I'm sure that it's just as frustrating in any other discipline with a complicated vocabulary.

When your browser tries to display https://www.example.com/some/directory?someParameter=Value#A... ::

#Appendix isn't sent anywhere, your browser only needs that locally

The path /some/directory and the query ?someParameter=Value are encrypted using keys which should be known only to the browser and server, today in most cases the keys are random and will be forgotten soon afterwards

The scheme https is implied by your browser's connection to an HTTPS web server. Modern browsers also explicitly transmit ALPN requesting h2 (HTTP/2) if available in their ClientHello, this will not be encrypted today.

The server name www.example.com is somewhat implied by your browser's connection to an IP address for this server. Any browser that still works in 2021 explicitly transmits the SNI requesting this name, so as to enable Virtual Hosting which offers multiple distinct web servers on a single IP address. SNI is also in the ClientHello and thus not encrypted.

The full server name will also be looked up by the browser in DNS. In many cases this means an unencrypted UDP query for that name, and this may in turn trigger a query for example.com, and in theory at least, com itself because DNS is hierarchical and the hierarchy may need to be discovered.

You can secure some of this last step by using any of the DPRIVE technologies, including DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT) and some day DNS over QUIC (DoQ). Eventually DPRIVE might also secure the recursion, but even today if snoopers can see that Google's DNS service asked about example.com that does not pin down who wanted them to do that, let alone why.

If you've secured DNS, this will pave the way for ECH, a forthcoming standard to Encrypt the ClientHello. It is likely that popular browsers will begin just doing ECH (silently enabling it for at least some users) in the next year or so, but right now it isn't quite finished.

Even with an Encrypted ClientHello, the IP gives away roughly who you connected to. The Internet Archive, the Fox News web site, and Wikipedia have no interest in sharing IP addresses with Porn Hub so as to throw off snoopers who are wondering roughly what you're doing. On the other hand, Encrypted ClientHello would hide whether you're looking at the German Wiktionary or the English Wikipedia page about the Hitler Youth, and it would mean there was no longer a privacy advantage to a site using directory prefixes to categorise things versus using server names.
This needs one of those galactic brain memes.
1. I got this

$ ssh -R 2000:localhost:8080 localhost.run
The authenticity of host 'localhost.run (35.171.254.69)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:FV8IMJ4IYjYUTnd6on7PqbRjaZf4c1EhhEBgeUdE94I.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?

Make it so it prints the url without more input, so it can be called from scripts easily. Like this

ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -R 80:localhost:8080 localhost.run

2. Then I got this

Port 2000 is not allowed. Only port 80 and 443 are allowed.

I didn't see easily that it's the 8080 I should change.

You’ve got it: the core service listens for inbound Upgrade http requests, starts a browser, then funnels the connection into the browser.

This debugger simply sits on top of all that, and puts the code/execution context in the browser versus the server. Cloud flare is simply detecting that our server IP is a known headless chrome instance, and is serving their bot detection check
Lots of new languages that arose in reflex to the "stack complexity" of Java ... eventually achieved the same stack complexity with a totally different set of framework/tool names.

The simple style of writing works when the reading is functional in nature: people read Paul Graham essays because they think it’s an instructional manual for getting rich, so the appropriate style is the same as an instruction manual for assembling a coffee table.

It was more directly in response to:

> Pay-per-view is probably more appropriate for those who only want to watch a couple movies every month, put ppv isn't available.

and

> PPV is available for most movies, you can rent them from iTunes or amazon for $3-5 for a single watch in my experience.

Yes, PPV is available, but it costs the same to watch a couple movies every month as to subscribe to a whole streaming service. That makes it effectively unavailable (at a reasonable price) for many consumers.

Why isn't a la carte video available at a reasonable markup (say, 200% the cost of 2 hours of a streaming service given the average monthly viewing time)?

From what I can see businesses either need OSS to attract / retain developers and put someone to maintain their OSS projects or they just equate OSS with abandonware that has a chance to make us look cool.

Don't get me wrong, having companies do OSS is much better than having unpaid developers ruining their sleep and coding 4 more hours after their daily shift.

Still, I don't think it's a great reason to not do OSS. I can name soo many projects open sourced by companies where nobody bothered to merge my PRs or answer issues.

The reason I wouldn't open source my business is for a later stage, when I actually have a profitable business and AWS/other giants will clone it and sell it instead of me.
At that level what’s the difference?

True, but not instantaneously. The lag there is inflation at work.

Desireable housing near good jobs, high quality education, effective health care, child care in a regulatory environment, convenient transportation. These are not highly elastic. That's a lot of most people's expenses if they can be afforded.

How does paying people not to work increase available labor to apply to productive endeavors?

This one, for instance, I’ll admit I haven’t clicked through to the article. I’ve long been interested in these voids so I didn’t figure the article would relay any information I wasn’t aware of so I clicked through to see what people here had to say.
Sort of. In Vinge's world, the slow zone is just a natural phenomenon, not something artificially created. And in the slow zone you're basically limited to nearly-speed-of-light travel consistent with our contemporary understanding of relativistic physics (which is unbearably slow to anyone who can travel much faster than that outside the slow zone). Whereas in Liu Cixin's books, if I remember correctly, they actually change the speed of light itself to be even slower.

Nice! We built something like this 3 years ago while I was still at Intoli. Instead of Puppeteer we used our own Web Extensions API based framework called Remote Browser [1], the core of which was written by my cofounder.

The tour is still up at [2]. The servers that actually run the Remote Browser have since gone down, but interestingly you can still run the tour. That's because if you don't change the code in the REPL window, you get cached results (except step 7/7 which scrapes Hacker News and won't work). To get those results, we built a little tour "recorder" that would be run on every release. If I remember correctly, we allowed some dynamic ES6 imports through a custom Babel compiler for the code that's input, which also allows first level async stuff, which still works :)

That's true, MVNO and prepaid are often deprioritized from the start, while postpaid gets deprioritized only after consuming say 22 GB/month.

Israel Has Been Launching Clandestine Attacks on Iranian Shipping: Report
Powertoys is pretty powerful and I have offered a few suggestions to them that I hope they will implement with their own remapping solution and last I heard they may very well be working on allowing for groups of applications to share similar key remaps.

I don't think Kinto will be switching over to leveraging PowerToys though because AutoHotKey has been able to accomplish everything it needs to do so far and frankly much more complicated remaps than what Powertoys can currently do. I did have some doubts about whether AutoHotKey would be better in all cases - as I initially ran into issues with RDP sessions, but have since worked those problems out for the most part. The problems that remain appear to be isolated to chromebooks RDPing into Windows & probably wouldn't impact 99% of the people that would use Kinto over RDP still. It's a very specific combo & most of the time it executes normally and I am the author and I dog food this project daily.

Additionally the remaps are non-permanent so there's no need to log off or back on like you would if were to use sharpkeys to do the remapping. Also it is by design - if you want to pair program with a co-worker and they don't share you're affinity for mac style hotkeys then toggling Kinto off is a couple of simple clicks of the mouse.
that guy may be able to make a statistical argument with this sort of data. Number of injuries and percent of time on the bench with the two pools and a simple t-test or something.
Good points about AWS, though I will say that AWS has multiple different document databases and caching engines, so if there was customer demand, I don't doubt that they would run a different identity service. I have not used it, but from what I've seen, Cognito doesn't seem to get much love.

> OSS seems more like a growth driver here than a risk b/c of the competitive market, though I can see that being unsettling to traditional business/VC types who are out of touch with the market.

I hope you weren't talking about me :) . We'll see, I certainly some funded auth startups going the open core/OSS route (SuperTokens, Clerky, WorkOS).

> In our case, quite explicitly, we're evaluating a path where on-prem single-tenant users can bundle & self-serve something (SSO/LDAP/...), while for our saas tier, we can hook into something normal by aws/azure/someone else. Lack of full-featured OSS (w/ no SaaS necessary) for on-prem, or at least a clear way to let us transparently swap something like Keycloak for those folks, is an instant no.

Yeah, we have a number of clients who use us just like this (both SaaS and on-prem, often as an identity broker) and are willing to pay our license fees for the support, the documentation and the functionality. I've also reached out to people who seemed like a fit and they had a hard requirement for OSS.

Different strokes for different folks.
This was disappointing and naive. McKinsey is a private company that markets itself to c-level folks. What possible benefit would they have in becoming more open and transparent as the article suggests. They are going through a brief and unwanted period of public exposure. What they want to do is get out of the spotlight, and go back to a state where they only ones paying attention to them are prospective clients and aspiring consultants. The article acts like they are subject to the same whims as public companies who make their money from advertising. For better or worse, they are (metaphorically) mercenaries, and just like the real ones, are responsible to their clients and staff only, not to twitter, the media, etc. Their best policy is to fade back out of the spotlight.
