Using film/TV show cover art?
Is there a way for me to use cover art from famous movies and TV shows in a marketplace app I'm building?

Basically creating a marketplace app for fans, but instead of simply writing "Star Wars" or "Godfather" on the page I'd love to be able to link to some awesome movie posters or album covers. However, I don't want to go through the whole licensing process with Disney and the others because then this will never get off the ground. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can use the art without having to go t?

>Either of these approaches defeats a fundamental gRPC benefit: reusable connections.

Let's say the client reconnects every 50 requests. You have reduced the connection overhead by 98%. Are those last 2% really going to ruin your day?
Odd effect of this is that it would be difficult to distinguish encrypted backups from ransomware encrypted files being backed up.

Cloud documents like Word and Google docs seem less susceptible, as writing a content parser for each file format to encrypt it would be a higher bar. Or am I missing something there?

It also suggests there could be a market for cryptocurrency futures as a form of insurance. This is one extreme situation where you are forced to buy a currecy at market prices, but I suspect it's the first of more.
While the research itself sound promising, the article leaves a lot to be desired.

The use of units and their notation is horrendous, almost as if the author doesn't know even the first thing about SI units and their use:

> 197 mAh g−1

> 10 gigaWatt to 50gW plants

I'm sorry, but nonsense like that detracts from the trustworthiness of the content.

The title is also a bit click-baity - so far they're working with coin cells and statements like

> It charges an iPhone coin cell in less than 10 seconds.

are highly misleading. What does that even mean? An iPhone doesn't contain coin cells.

Another irritating statements follows immediately after:

> The new battery cells are claimed to deliver far more energy density than current lithium-ion batteries, without the cooling, heating or rare-earth problems they face.

According to them, their cells achieve 160 Wh/kg. That doesn't add up at all. A mainstream APN 616-0809 Li-Ion battery pack (iPhone 6) has a capacity of 1810 mAh @ 3.8V and weighs ~45.5 g, e.g. ~150 Wh/kg.

So their current cells are no better than current Li-Ion batteries, but only just match them. I mean, heck, a Tesla Powerwall - a fully integrated, plug-and-play unit - comes in at 114 Wh/kg (13.5 kWh @ 114 kg) [0].

If they have a product with unique selling points (no rare earths required, much faster to charge, safer), why make claims that are demonstrably false? Little things like that make the whole announcement sound fishy and I can't tell whether it's the author or the researchers who messed up there.

I mean, seriously, the COTS Panasonic NCR18650B cell has an energy density of 252 Wh/kg [1] so even with cooling/heating elements a battery pack would have a higher energy density (by mass) than their product.

Something just doesn't add up in this piece.

I think you mean "polarized". And polarization is happening only in some societies, mostly in the anglosphere.

In many other places society was much more polarized 50 or 60 years ago.

Well, except for working on ABC for years, right?

This is ahistorical nonsense in multiple ways.
I really like the large font on the main website. It could be considered a bit extreme, but it made it very easy to quickly understand the product
Can't you do partial hydration by setting certain components to not hydrate inside the <script context="module'>? Thats what it says in the docs but it might not be the same thing in my understanding (which is limited). Also aren't app-wide stores basically the least trivial way of keeping data in sync across an app? Certainly not difficult in SvelteKit as it is - in fact I can't imagine it being any easier.
That, and WKWebView with it's pesky 1GB memory limitation.
I simply don't understand why all this complicated stable coin stuff is even necessary. Why can't exchanges use USD instead of USDT, USDC, BUSD or whatever? There are trading pairs for other currencies like EUR, GBP, AUD, BRL, RUB. Why can't we have USD trading pairs?

The Critical Security Controls [1] are a good place to start. Alas, it's neither free or necessarily straightforward to implement them - which is why breaches persist.

HMart has the most fresh produce and it’s prices are low because it’s not organic. I was trying to eat a lot of greens and found that most stores have “tourist greens” with small servings in big plastic tubs.

Even Whole Foods was hard to buy large amounts of spinach. Their green produce is mostly processed and wrapped in plastic and $5 for what’s $.75 per bunch at HMart.

The idiotic practice of lumping Chinese, Indian, and Indonesian people together as “Asians”, as if the term had any kind of cultural relevance, is mainly a tic of journalists. For the most part, normal people don’t talk or think this way.

> The importance of following the principles for public health is greater than the importance of the advice being unbiasedly perfect at every moment.

You're falsely conflating "principles for public health" with "public health advice". Principles for public health include protecting yourself against airborne diseases, which meant that anybody with some knowledge on the issue and ability to think for themselves should have disregarded "public health advice" when it contradicted "principles for public health". It also means we should be wary when "public health advice" doesn't line up with "principles for public health", and even more so when "public health advice" has been shown to be a deliberate lie when it suits the advice giver.

Following principles of public health is important, but you stretch too far and without basis to equate that to following public health advice. That kind of unthinking obedience to authority is how people commit atrocities by "just following orders"

I tried Zulip a few years ago and found it too "ugly" to recommend to non-technical peers (I also didn't grok the threads model).

I checked the website now to see if I'd like the night mode better, and I can't find any screenshots with it!

If people tend to vastly prefer zulips UI with the settings you mention, your product adoption will probably be much higher if your website screenshots show the dark mode with 110% zoom.

While it'd be nice to improve the defaults, I know that can be disruptive - the quickest quickfix would be to mention those settings in the installation instructions.

Failing the change mentioned above, it would at least be nice to include some screenshots on the help article about turning on night mode (ideally with some good alt text so google images picks it up).

Disclaimer that I only looked at the top two DDG results for "Zulip night mode"

Cloudflare is the professional wall builder you hire to protect your garden.

Tech monopolies have always had a vested interest in locking up user data, dictating the policies, and enforcing their own ownership rights.
It used to be that only the largest and most sophisticated companies had the resources to shield that data, but Cloudflare changed all that. Walls are now trivial to set up, and virtually unbreachable, and that has forever changed the character of the internet by enforcing monopolistic policies with such technical precision that they're virtually impossible to overcome.
There's an interactive exhibit in the lobby of the New York Hall of Science that lets you deform a blob of this shiny goo. It's a lot of fun.
That doesn’t necessarily make it false, it just means the rabbit hole is even deeper.
I don't think grpc even supports http/1.1 on all (any?) languages so it was never a feasible solution for grpc.
There is no perfect solution, but I'm in favor of anything that's a net improvement in accessibility for disabled people, even if it's not ideal in some other way. So I'm disappointed to see this solution being shot down before it even gets deployed on a large scale.
Even if you use pen and paper it can still be subpoenaed.
No, it's huge if its true. Also it means it's much more efficient because you're not losing all that energy to waste heat.
Maybe not directly, but a huge number of companies use tools that involve data selling, even if the company doesn't realize it. Once a marketing guy sent me a LinkedIn tracking tag to put on our website for conversion tracking. It quickly became clear he didn't know anything about what LinkedIn would do with the information. I think that stuff happens all the time.

You can persist end to end encrypted mails on the server just fine. The important thing is that the keys for encrypting/decrypting the mails are not stored on the server too.

> So like it or not I am inclined to only allow Google and Bing in the robots.txt because Google is the only site that sends a significant amount of traffic and because Bing sends some, and Google needs some competition.

This sounds like you're onto a reasonable “legit” factor: does the crawler honor robots.txt? Baidu would be legit because they don't lie about their identity and if you put a rule in your robots.txt file they'll honor it.

That would prevent indenting the messages to the length of the nickname. Irssi performs manual linewrapping to achieve that.
“Go use a banana leaf”

the history of what people have resorted to using over the centuries is pretty interesting. There's even a satirical book named Gargantua & Pantagruel written in the 1500's France where characters debate the most comfortable option. IIRC, they settle on a life goose's neck: the feathers make it quite soft.

In the US, a dried out corn cob was a popular choice during the early days, before the 1900's when toilet paper really hit the mainstream. Likely not for comfort though, just because it was what was available. It's probably not great for the average health of a population if they use discarded food that might be partially rotting to wipe their butts. Actually

I like this. I may have to adapt this somehow. “Where do you stand on....” “I’m on the fence—the Chesterton fence.”

You nailed it. Since the original post is about email, I'll use LiveIntent as an example. Does the New York Times sell my personal data? Maybe, but not egregiously. But they use LiveIntent ad tags in their emails, and those tags leak a ton of data.

Yeah, I think the article misleads that these are close to parity with Li batteries not exceeding, if not slightly trailing in density. Other articles on the same batteries with quotes directly from the researchers are more clear about it.

I hate this new web where you're automatically assumed to be some malicious actor only because you don't accept cookies and strange third party code and then have to jump through hoops to show that you're not some evil bot. To be honest, if a website immediately throws some Cloudflare anti-DDoS thing in my face I don't even bother anymore.
Certainly! "Gut feel" is a shit way to do time estimates. It's a programmer way, not an engineering way. Of course it's harder to get historical data for software than for other engineering fields, because software is so new. But it's not impossible, and if companies don't even collect the data (due to using story points) they'll never manage to get forecasts when they need them.

The whole point of Matrix is you run your own matrix-synapse homeserver, so if the people you know are also connecting to your homeserver, and there's a matrix equivalent of a netsplit, you'll still be talking to those on yours - with the bonus of history backfill when your server reconnects to some other federated server.

Same happening as IRC - but with a different and more resilient protocol.

I also think including Slack along with Matrix is incorrect, as Slack is - like Discord - a centrally controlled walled garden. Matrix is not like those two at all.
Why do you think most people don't know about netdata and stick with the "status quo" of gathering data -> timeseries db -> manually creating dashboards & configure alerts?
Less efficient for the machine, making the program deal with async is less efficient for the programmer. I'm just confused when I see people working on CRUD apps ruling out tools because they lack first-class async support.

>Fifteen years ago people used to ask me "What is an exotic fuel any- way?" and I would answer "It's expensive, it's got boron in it, and it probably doesn't work." I had intended, originally, to entitle this chap- ter "The Billion Buck Boron Booboo," but decided against it on two grounds. The first was that such a title might conceivably be consid- ered tactless by some of the people who authorized the programs con- cerned. The second reason is that it would not be completely accurate. Actually, the boron programs did not cost a billion dollars. It just seemed that way at the time.
I trust that cloudflare will act responsibly in allowing small search engines through, but I really, really would rather not have to trust cloudflare. I don't believe that any organization can or will always act responsibly, which is why it's concerning that cloudflare controls so much of the internet.
It's not really as much of an issue these days as it used to be.

And like I said.. you can get that all in a neatly integrated package where you don't have to worry about any of that anymore.
I have questioned the narrative of rising anti-Asian hate in the US ever since I read an HN-linked editorial on the subject in a major American newspaper by an Asian-American, and he included supposed microaggressions in the count of hateful actions against Asians. For example, noticing that someone has a relatively uncommon surname in North America (like Nguyen) and asking if that someone was related to someone else they knew with the same surname, was, according to him, microaggressive. This felt like such a reach made in order to claim there was an emergency going on.
You don't have to like it. If the government asks for information you cant expect 100% to just say NO.
Hi Nick, just saw your svelte summit presentation you gave and was pretty impressed with Edler.js!

I have a simple site, basically 5 different templates. 2 of those templates will be used for content of ~500 pages each. So Elder was exactly what I was looking for.

However:

I want to re-hydrate my server-side rendered app/dynamic-parts including client-side routing.

Elderguide (and in the YT talk) mentions that for more complex SPA-y stuff I shouldn't use it. I played around with Elder but finally settled on Routify, because it gives me re-hydrated client-site routing out of the box. SvelteKit I haven't looked into at all because they released it just when I was done with my app ;-)

Would you mind elaborate how Elder's feature differ from SvelteKit?

Thank you!

PS.: Even if my use-case might isn't a fit, I think the use-case's where Elder would be my first choice are pretty clear.
I always say to people that say YouTube brings the worst in people that its, just, well.. people. IRC was just like that in the 90s as soon as enough people were sat in a channel it just became factional.
How long before someone comes up with a cryptographic approach to anonymizing bitcoin exchanges?

Perhaps exchange #1 could hold a database with bitcoin addresses and PGP-encrypted information about the bank accounts/mailing addresses of cryptocurrency holders.

Exchange #2 could hold the private keys of those bank/home details while receiving withdrawal requests and reimbursement for distributing bitcoin

The bitcoin holder can then request exchange #1 give a withdrawal request to exchange #2 in such a way that no exchange has enough information to connect a person to a bitcoin wallet.

Maybe I'm overthinking this; is there already a way that tech-savvy people can use Bitcoin in a way that's impossible to be tracked when converting to cash?
