If linux doesn't normalize unicode at all, can you have two different files that look like they are named `josé`, depending on if the é is decomposed or not?
These arguments are all moot. Even assuming that humans can't be trusted with each of these points, then still you are exchanging hypothetical lives and hypothetical damage to the environment for real lives and real damage to the environment.

Who cares about storing fuel and toxic byproducts perpetually? We are destroying our environment right now. It's ridiculous we're even still having these conversations.

It doesn't matter if fission has a future, we could start to build a hundred power plants today, and the first ones would be finished in 5 years, and it would fucking save our planet.

Didn't use Roblox, nor Second Life, but my understanding is that Roblox is much more oriented towards gaming.

> We sign the webhooks for you to prevent SSRF, we implemented a retry logic, we have monitoring on all of these, and all of the other things I mentioned elsewhere.

Nice. These are very useful feature and I can see myself subscribing for these. May I suggest you highlight these as the main features and demote, remove or re-word "not having to invest significant engineering resources in making a reliable webhook calling system" bit (not exact words). Just a suggestion, don't claim to know more about your business than you but as a possible customer, this claim being at the top would throw me off TBH.

> I mentioned it elsewhere in this thread, I don't see how this can be a library. It's a standalone service that needs to be run and monitored, needs to scale with your usage, and you need to make sure it doesn't hang, the queue doesn't get too long, and etc. I actually say it in the post, webhooks aren't as simple as they seem.

They definitely aren't and I know that from building some quite non-trivial ones and I did build some of those as libraries used across projects in the same company. Also, wouldn't my scale be the same irrespective of whether I call Diahook or anything else directly? I still need to make same amount of calls, have same queue, same retries etc.

> I think the same can be said on every other API company, including Stripe, Sendgrid, Twilio and etc. If this is a concern for you, you need to take care of that, if it's not a concern for you, then Diahook is not any different.

This should definitely be a concern for everyone unless missing outgoing webhooks is fine for a service and I agree Diahook wouldn't be any different which was my original comment. Sorry if I came across as dismissive. I was just pointing out how using something like this cannot be a reason to eschew fault tolerance in outgoing webhook code.
Wealth Inequality Is Even Worse in Reputation Economies (2016)
Hertz agreed to bankruptcy, so that they don't have to pay all of their debts anymore.

That's... literally what's going on. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, shareholders usually get wiped out. They wouldn't have pushed this button unless they believed that their bonds were hopelessly unpayable.
The poorest have tremendous support. US poverty line is at 80th percentile of world incomes, and welfare options ensure nobody has to live under that line. The ultra rich do a great deal (and got there) by making much affordable for lower incomes (Walmart, Amazon for high profile examples).

For that matter, world abject poverty has been largely eradicated. Increasing customer productivity (both individual and aggregate) increases customer buying power - favorable to capitalism.
This is amazing. If they would have added software to the cameras to mine bitcoin, it would’ve been absolute peak cyber punk.

People that sell video cameras attached to the Internet should always have a disclaimer that the user should assume that the system will probably be accessible by anyone at some point in the future.

I believe Samsung started doing this with their TVs in regards to audio.

We are certainly building ourselves an interesting future.
I think so? Law enforcement can't break into something without a warrant, but if someone brings them evidence of wrongdoing (especially a third party who didn't conduct the hack themselves), I believe they can act on it.

> And even keeping each document in its own (OS) thread ain't really that unprecedented; browsers already do this, last I checked (each open tab being a "document" in this context) - in some cases (like Chrome) even doing one "document" per process.

That is not correct. (Source: I am a former Mozilla Distinguished Engineer.)

Chrome (and Firefox, with Fission enabled) do one process "per site", e.g. one process for all documents at google.com. (In some cases they may use finer granularity for various reasons, but that's the default.) In each process, there is one "main thread" that all documents share.

> Would that not also be the case if all those documents used a single shared block of memory?

No. Memory freed when you delete content from one document would be reused when you add content to another document.
My point was more that if you can have a fully free PC except for the cellphone modem, then you can also have a fully free cellphone except for the modem. There's nothing about the rest of the cellphone that's any different from any other computing device.

Nuclear power is only as safe as the people who are involved in it. In this case, the Fukushima power plant wasn't funded like it should have been because people weren't interested in nuclear power. Turns out that's both extremely dangerous and hard to control.

Also, what do you mean by paranoia and unnecessary evacuations? Nobody could even guess what was going to happen. When will explosions happen? How many? What direction will the wind blow? The power plant was out of control. The US government didn't assist with evacuations until AFTER the first release which spread contamination south hitting Tokyo, and east hitting their own USS Ronald Reagan.

Paranoid? Unnecessary? Sorry, that's a cruel thing to say to those who were contaminated.

"That's how safe nuclear is."
Semi-banned from instragram – Rights under GDPR?
I'm mostly out of my depth here and have no knowledge about this. I'll try to make it short and to the point.

I use my instagram account for posting pictures of my vacations and the occasional picture of some delicious food.

Sometime ago, my account was "muted": I can follow account and post new photos but that is it. I can't like photos, comment or even add comments to my own pictures!

I tried reading the FAQ but it was not helpful. I tried to ask for help using the in-app help and got nothing. I tried looking for an email to try and contact someone but never found a single email of contact.

Big corporations (instagram, facebook, twitter, ...) can do what they want and I know that I'm basically powerless in a situation like this, I accept this.

I'd like to open a new account (not sure if I'm really allowed to after having the first one "muted"), but without knowing why this happened, it might happen again. The thing is, I have no idea about what happened and since I can't speak to anyone, I have no way to know. So:

Do you see a way for me to learn more about my situation? I'm not even speaking about saving my account,
Under GDPR, as a European citizen, do I have the right to ask for this info? If so, how?
The Actual Purpose of Software Testing
As you should. Otherwise, you're literally being a racist.
You can reply though, IIRC. A good response to a negative review is a massive plus to me.

Aside: somehow businesses get moved - even major ones like a local McDo got moved to the wrong location. Takes weeks for corrections from when I report them. I really can't understand that one. This too could be a killer for a small business, getting shifted to the wrong location.

In a similar vein, I'm forever having to report our opening hours and things to Facebook as we don't have any (small craft shop, open by arrangement) and people insist on adding some.

It's all really weirdly handled. I suppose it's the presence of untrustworthy parties in such disclosures though Google should have enough trust signals to weight users input.
Cloud enabled cameras that I don't fully control are concerning to me. My guess is we will be seeing more of these types of breaches in the future.
Nice. My understanding is the laboratory machine shops have the same continuity issue.
I dig the name, it reminds me of singletrack mountain biking, which is one of the funnest things I've done.
First off, I consider myself pretty liberal in my views and open to online gaming in general. However, as a parent and grandparent, I think Roblox is HIGHLY dangerous for kids. I've watched my granddaughter play some games that were completely ripe with players looking to exploit her. Music playing with Rated-XXX lyrics - referring to varied sexual acts. Games based on pets (wolves) wanting to "ride" each other and playing what seemed like a pornographic soundtrack in the background. I'm talking about true porn, moaning, foul language, you name it.

She is no longer allowed to play the game at our home. I would have to spend all my time policing her online play and dealing with her disappointment at not being able to play specific games.

I don't see how parents can allow their kids to play Roblox. It is wide open to exploitation - there is no restriction, control or protection offered for children. And to top it off, 99% of gameplay requires purchasing virtual items.

Just bleh, shock and a big nope for my family. Roblox should be ashamed at the platform they have created.
This is the best thing ever.
Back in the day I set up Zoneminder... pretty good. I was able to write a custom perl script to run a loud wave file in my house to tell me a zone was activated :)
To add to this, we use Phoenix in a typical dockerized, stateless Loadbalancer- X Webserver - Postgres/Redis setup and it works great. Deployment is exactly the same as any other dockerized webapp. What OP is using is the "next level" that allows you to really leverage the BEAM but you don't have to.
I think it's a a convenient accident more than an intentional outcome, but one that established homeowners and assetholders benefit from so it's encouraged.

If nothing else, can you actually imagine a politician celebrating houses going down in price? Picture yourself walking up to a podium and announcing that the average 3 bed 2 bath in San Jose is now only $200,000, and what a fantastic achievement this is and how it will help people who have struggled to afford a home. What reaction do you get?

Homeowners would be crying for blood because, whether they care to admit it or not, when it comes time to sell they want 2+ other people working their asses off and saving every penny they can to just _barely_ be able to put in a bid.

I _am_ a homeowner, albeit of a cheap house, but I'd love to see prices fall because I wouldn't mind a second one. A spot on a couple acres near Portland might be nice, and some of them don't look too bad...
The classical three problems.
Great feedback. I completely understand that the price point may not be for everybody. We've done our best to keep the pricing competitive while still being able to pay our coaches fair wages. We've also tried to look at it from both our costs, and value added.

We do offer 20 different classes each and every day. Users who purchase an annual subscription can get an entire year of content, thousands of runs for less than a pair of competition running shoes.

Even for a runner that only uses our application once a week, they pay under $5 a class for a live certified coach, curated playlists (that cost a decent amount for copyright), live streaming data and other costs.

At scale these things may become more economical, and we may be able to offer a lower price.
Ah, that's interesting! I didn't know that was a sufficient insulation of IP.
That's why I said technically and only if the gambler can keep placing bets of increasing size. Obviously this won't work in the real world since the amount a gambler can bet is limited both by how much the other party is willing to wager as well as the amount of money available to the gambler.

If you have an unbounded amount of money to gamble with, why bother gambling?

right - 24:37 friday makes is read as "37 past midnight on friday night" - which is friday night as humans consume time, but saturday morning by the calendar.

Being awake past midnight brings up a few challenges with calendars. My watch wil count a late (late) night walk against tomorrow, not against today. As a human, I consider "tomorrow" as "after I've gone to sleep", not "after midnight". 00:37 is still very much tonight.

Yeah, they were amazing... ten years ago when I started using them.

WIPP exists[0]. This is just for weapons waste (which is a much higher concern btw). But honestly storing waste material on site isn't that big of a deal. The DOE has also invented significantly better storage systems in the last 50 years but simulations and small scale testing do not count as proven enough for large scale testing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But there are other deep geological repositories around the world.[1]

Jupyter started with a chance meeting between two students
The significance of the disengagement plan [from Gaza] is the freezing of the peace process, and when you freeze that process, you prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, and you prevent a discussion on the refugees, the borders and Jerusalem. Effectively, this whole package called the Palestinian state, with all that it entails, has been removed indefinitely from our agenda. And all this with authority and permission. All with a presidential blessing and the ratification of both houses of Congress. That is exactly what happened. You know, the term `peace process' is a bundle of concepts and commitments. The peace process is the establishment of a Palestinian state with all the security risks that entails. The peace process is the evacuation of settlements, it's the return of refugees, it's the partition of Jerusalem. And all that has now been frozen.... what I effectively agreed to with the Americans was that part of the settlements would not be dealt with at all, and the rest will not be dealt with until the Palestinians turn into Finns. That is the significance of what we did.

It's a shame he didn't recommend cli programs like sfeed or newsboat.

I recently also stopped using youtube to be notified about new videos from the channels I follow, and now I use exclusively RSS with some scripts to made my life easier. Because youtube doesn't provide a RSS with all your subscriptions anymore, I had to extract all of them using the browser console[0] and convert all the links to the (hidden) RSS feed. This issue also happens with LBRY but this time I had to use an external service (I don't blame them because by design, you can't have something like a linear RSS feed in a blockchain).

I also used twitter for a while but at one point I felt tired of letting them tell me what I want to read. I was usually distracted by other tweets and feelt like I was wasting my time and didn't find any important or interesting stuff. Because there are still good twitter users in this platform and they don't support RSS feeds anymore, I managed to follow them using nitter[1].

I can tell you that, now, I see those two platforms like they were 10 years ago and I'm enjoying them like never before.

Ah I get what you mean now! Interesting way to ensure they are actually doing the right thing! I think the ping with the bad signature to check they are actually verifying the webhook is much lighter weight, and almost solves the same problem. The one with the signed response is also interesting, but a bit harder to get people to actually implement.
ZFS has a case-insensitive option.
Runnning around does not make a child with ADHD more sedate or perform better in the classroom. "Just go do some exercise" is like telling depressed people to "just cheer up".

Yes, exercise definitely helps. But it doesn't make one's mind less noisy internally. Buddhists talk of monkey minds. ADHD is like having a zoo of minds.

This anti-medication bias is causing a lot of stigma in society for children who actually need them.

>For example, you can't just disclose your way into arbitrary medical experiments on people.

Why not? If the person checks the "medical experiments" box in return for $100k, are we saying they shouldn't get the money? People willingly trade increased risk of death for increased pay all the time. Should it be illegal to be a lumberjack, or to work the overnight shift at a 7/11?
The guy receiving the beating?
This isn't a practical strategy, and I do mean "until". The gambler must also be willing to play an unbounded number of games. This is not nearly as big an assumption as the unbounded money assumption since in practice we rely on probablistic processes that may run forever all the time. There is no guaranteed algorithm for generating a number between 1-7 uniformly random using coin flips; all such algorithms can keep generating bad data which can't be mapped to 1-7 (it's just increasingly unlikely).
I think you are profoundly misinformed on this topic. Britain, in particular, was violently opposed to the formation State of Israel, and the invading armies of Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan were in part led by British forces.

Similarly, although the US now is closely aligned with Israel, it disavowed the partition plan prior to the Arab invasion.

The country that (ironically, given later alliances) gave the most direct military support to Israel in 1948 was the USSR under Stalin.

I linked an article on Wikipedia in response to someone’s question. It’s hardly Chinese propaganda. Really?
In the long run, I wonder how clickbait can be a viable business model for an organization such as BuzzFeed. If you think about it, clickbait is designed to be disappointing.

The goal is to make the subject seem much more interesting than it really is - otherwise you wouldn't need clickbait for people to be interested in it. Faced with the fact that all your content is a letdown in some way, how does that not condition your userbase to be dissatisfied with your brand and it's content?

I know BuzzFeedNews is supposed to be legitimate, but I just can't see it as anything other than an arm of a business that produces chum.
Land you can build on is scarce, but if we made it easier to demolish existing structures and change use from, say, parking to housing, this would be ameliorated.
