> but if anything happens to your PRNGs, you risk countless collisions to slip up by you in production before you realize what happened.

UUID generation basically has to use a CSPRNG to avoid collisions (or at least a very large-state insecure PRNG).

Because of the low volume simply using /dev/urandom on each node makes the most sense. If /dev/urandom is broken so is your TLS stack and a host of other security-critical things; at that point worrying about video ID collisions seems silly.
Surely grounds for a full scale invasion!
Interesting. I once wrote/sold a voicemail-reading app that logged in, scraped Vonage's web site, and let you listen to your voicemail. I was careful to not use trademarked image assets, but I did mention that my software was compatible with their service, mentioning them by name in the app store description. They never went after me! Maybe I got very lucky, or I was just small potatoes. The app wasn't popular, so they didn't think they could squeeze any money out of me (they would be right).
Whenever I come across something interesting, I tweet about it, or write about it in my notes.

This is a strange analysis. "Number of acquisitions" seems like a weird metric, without accounting for their significance (in purchase price, impact on the business, or any other real-world metric).

facebook buying Instagram was probably more significant than all the other acquisitions combined.

I checked, and not only did they sue but they reached a settlement, in Delaware of all places, the state least friendly to these kinds of claims.

But the settlement had nothing to do with Yahoo failing to reach an agreement with Microsoft; it was to weaken a poison pill Yahoo had put into place that meant employees would get expensive severances in the event of a takeover. This kind of financial measure is bread-and-butter for corporate fiduciary law, and it doesn't contradict what I said.

Lots of fascinating thoughts and philosophy and experimentation and readings on all this stuff. I was deep into it during college and a lot of my 20s. I got back into it a bit during the pandemic year (I'm 50 now), mostly spurred by reading "Consciousness and the Brain" by Stanislas Dehaene (a fantastic, science-based look into what we have figured out about consciousness). Plus turning 50 makes you realize the 20 year old version of yourself really is a whole different person. Not to mention parenting, and how your 12 year old is absolutely a different human than when he was 5, and seeing them realize it. Life is weird.

Amazing! "If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well. "
A neighbor once moved the pegs marking our block a few meters so that he could move (and claim) the neutral strip. The most irritating thing, is that he more or less got away with it because he was old and persistent. In fact, he gradually built infrastructure on it, despite hundreds of complaints to the local council and authorities. In the end the council couldn't come up with a good way to settle the dispute, so they offered to auction the neutral strip and its contents between us to the highest bidder.

Only illegitimate ships would have any reason to do this, so I don't think the tactic could be very effective. If anything, it would make the illegitimate ships even more visible. Legitimate ships already have their AIS turned on, so they are by default trackable and have no need to nor benefit from evading satellite monitoring.

The first few sentences were okay-ish, but the more I read,the more it sounded just plain absurd,border line controlling behaviour+ lots of silly assumptions.

Going back to the topic itself, the vast majority of parents wouldn't even know where to start, not even mentioning if a kid has really became a haxor of sorts.
Taking away computers, sending them out to the church,or doing others 'let's fix this quickly the adult way' things unlikely to help. I'm not a hacker but by the time I was 16 I was doing things on computer my parents won't ever comprehend or know how to put an end to it. By the time I'm 18,nobody can say anything to me anymore.

The only real solution to this is to build trust in the family in a way that kids would know that no matter how bad they screwed it up, parents won't go after them but will work with them trying to undo it or at least learn from those actions so they won't happen again.
Yes, I fully agree with the "as long as it's not toxic" approach. This involves not telling the kid you're staying in marriage (i.e. feeling bad) because of them, even if you do.
On the other hand (pun not intended) diamonds are primarily used this way in engagement/wedding rings, which is a social signifier, so asking this question in the context of social pressure is arguably a better estimate of how people would behave for a form of conspicuous consumption.

Sorry, but it's patently obvious that you are the one who isn't familiar with how any of this works. A spectrogram isn't corrupted, it's just a representation that chooses to not record some information - and thus it's not surprising that the information it excludes isn't recoverable. Whereas an MP3 is designed to include this information. That's all that is to it. Anything "electromagnetic" is entirely irrelevant at that level.

The result of using shared libraries for absolutely everything is docker/snappy, which are both useful on a utilitarian level but also terrible.

Every docker has its own openssl version. Which means every openssl cve means updating every docker image. Awful.

Well, funnily enough, I have also found existing site builders to be insufficient in various ways.

Firstly, I do not believe that the block-based approach works that well. It sounds great on paper, to be able to drag and drop block-like elements to compose a page, but it falls apart so quickly. You just don't end up with coherent pages, especially once everything starts getting rearranged on mobile.

Speaking of mobile, try using one of those drag and drop based editors on a mobile phone.

Plus, performance is usually terrible and getting your preview can also take a while. Not sure if they do shareable preview pages nowadays.

I build a CMS for static pages (not sure it's considered jamstack?) addressing all of the above, which deploys straight to Cloudflare, handles your forms and is based on modules, not blocks. Everything is a module, basically. This has allowed us to create sites that are properly responsive AND a CMS that works properly on smartphones. The tricky part is competing in a market where everyone thinks Wordpress, Wix and Squarespace are the last word spoken (when that couldn't be further from the truth, there is so much to be improved upon). We're also competing on price, depending on what features users need.

Don't know if anyone here is interested in trying it, but if you hit me up, I'll sort you out with a discount.

> You need to defend your trademarks otherwise courts will render them moot.

Sort of.

You need to prevent your trademark from becoming generic.

You also need to go after infringers in a reasonable amount of time, or you may lose the ability to collect monetary damages from that particular infringer at a later time (laches); however, progressive encroachment mitigates this to some extent (if you ignore a minor infringement, you can still sue if the infringement substantially expands, overriding the laches defense).

There's no requirement that you defend every case of trademark infringement, that's just overzealous lawyers who like to get paid a lot of money for sending threatening letters.

In this case Bose could ignore Boze and it wouldn't cause any issues. If Boze later expanded their business in a way that would increase the threat to the Bose trademark (for example, launching their own branded headphones, or directly competing with a Boze iOS app) then Bose could sue at that time under the progressive encroachment doctrine.

All that said,

> In this case it would be completely normal and legitimate for Bose to sue.

is completely correct.

Ask HN: What is a good free shell-based tool to watch for webpage changes?
Hi

I am looking for a tool that:
+ is free (free as defined in https://www.fsf.org/)
+ preferably shell-based
+ can run as a background process or as a cron job
+ watch for changes on a webpage
+ send a notification on OSX or Linux when a change occurs (not an email)

If you could also add pointers on how you use the tool or how you have configured it, that'd be greatly helpful too.

Thank You!

No, I specifically mean the parents getting divorced and using the argument it will be better for kids this way, because otherwise they would have to endure hearing them arguing etc., so the net result would be negative. I haven't meet even one divorced parent who wouldn't use this argument.

I understand that, and believe me I am sympathetic (nothing wrong with texting, but instagram/tiktok/facebook algorithms are probably very harmful for a developing mind).

Here in Portugal we (and Spain) have landmarks that define the border, and there's a treaty signed in 1846 that states these landmarks should be maintained in cooperation between the two countries.

And now here I am, mid thirties, children, and I wonder if I would let my kid play DOOM when he is 8 or 9.. I think I'll let him play the original ones, but the newer games seem to be much more intense (maybe that's just down to the graphics/music?)..

Or I just let him play everything.. I dunno, grand theft auto (granted, the top down one) did me no harm when I was around puberty heh...
I think that if we maintain height restrictions, FAR restrictions, setbacks, and all the other tricks that city planners use to concentrate wealth in the hands of landowners, we need to also make these restrictions automatically scale based on the neighborhood.

For example, instead of a cap on a neighborhood of three stories, the cap could be 33% more than the tallest structure in the adjacent two blocks. Or 50% more than the median height of the adjacent two blocks. Or maybe the max or min of those two values. The key would be to have it be not subject to delayed political approval, but rather responsive to what's going on in the neighborhood.

The other thing that's necessary is something like the Greek polikatikia model where the owner of a house can easily have a larger structure built and get a new place in the larger structure:

It was the same in the US until very recently. The idea that we would all be tracked from birth to death was a horror to most people, and a sign of the apocalypse to a lot of Christians.

I think the disappearance (and formalization) of home births started the movement in the other direction, along with Social Security cards inevitably being used as identification numbers. Anti-immigration drives during the Clinton administration and after 9/11 (both resulting in the RealID push) were the nails in the coffin.

edit: my grandmother didn't even know her birth name until she was middle-aged. She just got ID with the name she had always gone by, because birth documentation wasn't required.

> the systems and conventions need to change?

I think that in many (most?) countries nowadays, marriage is already no more than just a legal status that offers those practical points, so I am not sure if anything needs to change.

You don't have to get a ceremony/ring/party, go at the church or whatever your culture/religion associates with the act of getting married.

You can just sign the contract privately, which makes you legally married.

Same for divorce, I believe it only gets complicated when you fight about children, money and assets, otherwise you can both just decide to stop the contract.
Can't we? I mean even if it took 5 hours to adjudicate each ban, and Google offshores the adjudication at $10 per hour, you are looking at about $6m in cost.

With a more aggressive speed of 1 review per hour and a USA based review team, you are looking at a team of about 60 reviewers. At $60k per reviewer, you are talking $3.6m.

Hardly a big ask for a company with annual revenue over $180 billion, making $30 billion in revenue from Play Store alone.
I get wanting to keep HN from old-fashioned vulgarity and gossip, but I can't imagine finding it less-than-intellectually-interesting.

It's an improbably clean example of the conflict between modern and traditional religious views of marriage and money, and whether wanting divorce to be less traumatic can actually make it less traumatic. The symbolism is off the charts.

[Churches] all regard divorce as something like cutting up a body, as a kind of surgical operation. Some of them think the operation so violent that it cannot be done at all; others admit it as a desperate remedy in extreme cases. They are all agreed that it is more like having both your legs cut off than it is like dissolving a business partnership or even deserting a regiment.

What they all disagree with is the modern view that it is a simple readjustment of partners, to be made whenever people feel they are no longer in love with one another, or when either of them falls in love with someone else.
