This is about more gray areas, like should we ban this Joe Rogan episode? I would personally spend a few minutes each week going through an e-jury if that would help scrub the communities I like on reddit. Now reddit is a sterile ecochamber, it could become a much more engaged platfom, like it used to be.

Thank you. I downloaded this paper a month ago to read it eventually. Your comment made me read it yesterday and i have a question.

By using the type system would we exlude potentially consistent theories? Is it similar to how limitimg ourselves to a decidable language instead of a turing complete one would prevent us from writing potentially never halting programms that could still halt?
I prefer "transistors per square micrometer", it's the same as "million transistors per square millimeter" but shorter to write.

Andrew Lee ≠ Private Internet Access
> It isn't the goal as much as an unavoidable effect.

I don't see the value of this distinction. Creating a system where it is more likely that guilty go free is the practical equivalent of creating a system where more guilty go free.

I wasn't commenting on how well the analogy fits censorship. Though I would note that the criminal justice system doesn't set all people free, just that it adopts a more slanted standard of proof than the laxer standard used in some other judicial situations like civil and immigration courts. The discussion over allowable levels of false positives fits better than a dichotomy comparing a world with traffic laws to anarchy or something.
>You're overcomplicating this.

You're oversimplifying this but even when just sticking to the core of your point i strongly disagree.

>Start here. Less taxes == more money is staying and reinvested in the local economy for the good of everyone.

Not really. Want to stimulate the economy with reinvestments? Dis-incentivise stock buybacks and the like, tax hard.
Companies and people don't like to pay taxes.
How do you avoid taxes as a company or owner?
By having less profits trough reinvestment in R&D, growthprojects and wages.

Tax less and you reduce the incentive to reinvest into the local economy.
Biggest covid mask in the planet
There are two sets of contradictory facts being reported in this whole saga. One of the groups must be lying.

Either Ander Lee and friends are lying, or nearly the entire volunteer freenode staff is lying.

Seeing as I have shared a chat room with one of these freenode staffers for over a decade now. Having talked to them on a near daily basis and them never being a bald faced liar, I've got a pretty good idea who is doing the confabulation in this story.
I'm looking forward to seeing the new GBR company privatised in 20 years, making a small group of people a very large amount of money. Again.
Thank you very much.

What are examples of situations where the other pattern would be preferable?
LOL Switzerland (i.e. extremely punctual society) actually does this with their rail system. There is a time buffer in the rail schedule for each of the stops. If a train is running late, and is /expected/ to be late, according to the estimated time of arrival, the train adjusts its speed, going faster, to arrive at the originally planned scheduled time. Failures on the rail system are of course rare.
That requires culture in which it is expected of kids to support parents in old age. Or at least a culture that does not see that as a bad thing.
Thank you for the long answer. The person I asked made it clear that the "HR failure" was a significant driver in the decision, so it felt like it goes beyond the points 1+2 that you discuss (+)

On 3, no the HR failure is *honestly* completely unclear to me. Having read DHH's actual answer (and not people rephrasing it), do you still believe that "ANYTHING BUT THAT" was the answer? I can respect that, though to be honest I don't understand it, at all. I consider his answer quite good, and the alternative I jokingly presented (acknowledge the employee's message, and fire them on the spot) would be in my mind clearly worse; DHH was trying to be kind AND at the same time teach the person something (don't be such a harsh judge, people evolve and improve, sometimes mistakes of the past don't represent what you are now).

(+) Actually upon further reflection I completely understand point 2, "I don't trust that they'll be in business for long so don't want to tie a critical service to them", but I just didn't consider _that_ was the reason; if that was it, then this answers it for me.
Are you sure? Because to me it read like it was an actual experience. I am confused now, and to be honest I feel a little deceived by it if it turns out to be fiction, because that's not how it's written and comes off (and since many people here seem to take it as a real experience, I don't think I'm being especially dimwitted here).

But again, I'm not sure that it's fiction? It's on the "blog" and most things just seem personal stuff like a typical blog?
Add a switch to enable the previous behaviour. If the software is actually maintained than that switch will be added to the build config. If it isn't it shouldn't be used in production going forward. Whoever adds the option to the build process takes responsibility if the bugs it is deprecated to avoid do in fact affect this code.
I echo this. I was also interested in cybersecurity through CTFs. I also do a bit of bug bounties in my spare time. But i've sort of come to the conclusion that cybersecurity as a career isn't that great in general, most roles are just administrative or compliance types from what I've seen. But then I again I have seen opportunities with sort of smaller boutique security firms that mainly focus on exploit research, but for those it feels like they're looking for more specialist knowledge.
Yep, I've been burned by that. Spent a lot of time going above and beyond because I wanted our product to be the best it could be, but when it came time to downsize, they still laid me off instead of the employees who barely did anything, but went out for beers during lunch with the boss.
How to Read App Name, Version, and Build Number from Info.plist
In my opinion, TikTok is a network of wilful informants and a dataset that can be used to train AI at recognising foreigners so they can be more easily spied on when in China. It can also be used as a basis for race segregation programs and help run concentration camps in China (e.g. spotting "western" behaviour in the population and automatically issuing a ticket to reeducation camp). I think that service should be banned altogether.

>Yes. It's just really hard to do afterwards - having the government expropriate land around the stations and giving it to the railway companies is guaranteed to be wildly expensive and unpopular.

Expropriation of land would be unpopular (it would get the tabloids in a jitter as they fearmonger that the government is going to expropriate your garden next) but introducing a special tax on nonresidential property within 500m of a train station and subsidizing the price of tickets with it - probably not so much.

"Oh look my season ticket got cheaper" while private equity reports lower earnings and google's tax bill shoots up - this is going to be popular.

It could then be extended to residential property. The government could also go into business itself - building a shopping mall or two and funding government budgets.

This is a frog that could be boiled.
Hopefully it'll be released. I miss RSS, not enough to warrant installation of a separate software, but enough to use it if it's built-in.
The majority of work in government is on the defensive side, not the offensive side. But that would still be what you call whack-a-mole most of the time.
Constructive advice:

1. I can’t tell what “fourhere.com” does from your link. Link to a landing page or executive summary of your business. The current link is ineffective and will not impress investors.

2. Investors look for businesses that have already been organized, not a person looking to organize a business. You will need to do that first. If you need money, look to friends and family or grants first.

3. Read the lean startup approach and everything you can find on the web by Steve Blank, Paul Graham and Jason Calacanis.

4. The most important thing to an investor: team. The team (not one person) must have business savvy and domain experience and expertise. In other words, if you want to start a bakery, then investors want to know that you have been working in a bakery for 5-10 years.

5. Investors want to see traction. Even if you are not generating revenue, try to show metrics that are increasing over time: views, downloads, usage time, referrals, comments, click-throughs, etc.
> but it isn't a competitor for high-end performance. It's simply not designed for that.
Is there a public repository somewhere with the in-progress designs? I'm interested to take a look. (Starting with the over-the-air protocol are you are using.)
> Anticheat has to be defense in depth.

I'm pretty sure every layer of defense you can think of, they've tried.

- Machine learning to spot obvious cases? Check.

- Federated moderation? Check.

- Various trust schemes to weigh accounts based on how much they payed, whether they cheated in the past, etc? Check.

The only thing I don't think they've tried too much is sending false/stale game data in cases where they know the client has no way to know otherwise (eg lying about an enemy's position when the player has no way to see the enemy).

It's an arms race and it's hard to stay ahead at scale.

(though I'm not actually sure I trust accounts of how prevalent cheating is; I haven't had that many cheaters in my own games, and a lot of complaints I've seen come from either free users or people who admitted to cheating themselves, which is what I'd expect to see if Trust Factor worked; though it's a crap deal for free users)

Also, if it's going to be a packaged-up version of the Outlook webapp, I'm going to lose the global unread mail folder, which is going to kill me, given the way my inbox folders and rules are set up by customer.
To be fair to Mozilla this firefox bug having the effect of rendering the "whole computer unusable and almost frozen" is 100% a Linux bug/feature. Programs have bugs and memory leaks. The OS has to handle cases where they do. This is what the OS does when it happens here.

> It's definitely not anything to do with being poor. It's a confidence thing and having a will to learn and improve.

Sure, but being poor often means "just do what you're told" in jobs, schools, etc. and definitely can lead to these kind of confidence issues.

You're probably right, but I don't think they'll succeed. Everyone and their dog can see that TFL has worked well compared to the rest of the country.

I don't particularly like our government, but I don't doubt their commitment to populism. This looks like a vote winner to me so I'd put low odds on a u-turn here.
Youtube premium in the UK is 11.99 GBP a month, and is bundled with youtube music service.

* I don't want a music subscription service, and I don't want to pay for it.
* That price is the same as an actual full video streaming service like Netflix, but I get no new video content for my money.
* Premium does remove the user-hostile block on background audio playback on iOS, but does not remove other user-hostile behaviour like blocking the iOS system wide Picture in picture from working.

I am extremely skeptical of the revenue sharing with creators that I like, and would rather give money to them in some direct way than trust google not to give my money to random music artists / their pockets.

The price is a joke, at least 4x what is reasonable. I shall continue using Firefox and uBlock Origin to get 100% of the features I want for free.
RISC-V International's plan to give away 1,000 boards to developers seems like a good idea. I like some of the products I've seen but the cheap ones are just toys and the decent ones are way overpriced.
Measuring potential complexity in popular Open Source projects
It took a little bit of getting used to, but once I did, its been great. I don't always use it, sometimes I'm just not sitting straight at my desk and its seems like effort, but when I'm typing heavily or coding, I typically do. It makes typing very pleasant.

I didn't use it to toggle Fn, but to shift it (just in case it wasn't obvious), since keeping my foot on it is really easy and letting go is the quickest way to switch back.
Ultimately both governments and private entities can run things efficiently. And both governments and private entities can run things badly. The UK government has an excellent recent record of running rail franchises when it has had to step in and bail out franchises (it ran it profitably, and with excellent customer feedback on service), so it's a good bet that it'll do better than the existing providers for the time being.
I really hope Poettering decides to fix PAM too. It's well overdue.

IMO PAM should be replaced with a daemon. This way all the code that deals with authentication can be isolated into its own process, and my screensaver doesn't need root access to check my password against /etc/shadow.

It'll also simplify SELinux settings.
Interestingly enough, there are drastic differences written in law regarding this.
In some countries, you are in fact allowed to keep purchased stolen goods, if they were bought in good faith. While in other countries, you as the buyer can be in serious trouble, even if you couldn't know if it was stolen and at least need to prove that you were misled and did everything you could to prove ownership.

I guess you were arguing morally, just pointing out this isn't legally true everywhere.

Of particular note is just how far (Density isn't everything but to 1* it'll do) behind Intel 14nm is.

Agree, in the UK the service is overpriced (exchange rate?) and bundled with Youtube Music subscription service for an extremely unpalatable 1.99 GBP per month.

Your impressions mirror mine, and is also why I chose to stick to software engineering. You can still apply your security knowledge. OSCP doesn't apply to most of that depending on what language you use (caveat: I haven't seen the new course) - OSWE does however. Generally companies won't pay extra for your security knowledge unless they're specifically looking for it, even if you've really found and fixed things in code proactively.

I also found some interviews in a similar format as developer interviews (hands on, timed), but with salaries that make it not really worth the trouble and stress (that's what OSCP was for!).

Yeah. Well, I guess the idea of Apple asking Draft2Digital not to send them books containing any mentions of competitors is precisely that they "never even see" them! But there's a happy end to the confusing tale: Draft2Digital later manually overruled the block, as they were confused why Leanpub would be blocked, as mentions of Amazon are usually the problem. (But the author had other books mentioning Amazon approved, so didn't think it was that. Particularly as censoring mentions of Leanpub got the book past the test. Weird.) The uncensored book is now on Apple Books.

Show HN: Nyxt Browser 2.0.0
TL;DR: Router-based blocking is fairly effective for now, but not guaranteed.

Host-based adblocking works if advertising delivery comes from servers distinct from content, and is delivered directly to the client (that is, the end-user's web browser) rather than "rendered" on the server side.

There are reasons the independent ad hosting solution's come about, not a few of which revolve around measurement and fraud --- a freestanding ad infrastructure gives metrics independent of the ads venue. In a world in which trustworthy data are hard to come by, this had been strongly embraced.

The rise and success of host-based adblocking creates an evolutionary arms race between advertisers and ads-averse publics. There are several possible countermeasures:

- Advertising can be intermixed with content, either with ads coming from content servers, or content coming from ads servers.

- Ad payload and content bait can be pre-rendered on the content delivery site. The user no longer has a separately-identifiable data stream to discriminate the advertising content.

There are other adblocking methods. Some rely on determining what parts of a web page (the "DOM", or document object model) correspond to advertising. Typically, dimensions (ads are sold in standard sizes), element names (usually HTML attributes including CSS class and ID values), or display attributes (fixed or floating elements especially) are used. The story's complicated. Browser-based adblocking typically includes several of these heuristics, in addition to host-based blocking.

And there are new technologies which will make even those methods less effective. (Look up direct canvas rendering as a leading option.)

Router-based blocking is virtually always to determining the source of a data stream, but not its content (thanks in part to the security and encryption now part of most Web traffic, thanks to HTTPS and SSL/TLS security protocols). PiHole and its equivalents have been largely effective to date, but still leak some ads, and may be less effective in future.
If all the companies doing custom AArch64 microarchitectures had spent the effort building systems around ARM's designs instead, we'd probably have a thriving ARM server ecosystem by now.

Some of their decisions didn't make any sense, even at the time. For example, each champion is coded separately for each team, there isn't just a single champion where they toggle a flag or something. That's led to bugs where champions are stronger depending on what team they're on. Skins work the same way; instead of just changing the appearance, every skin is a seperate hero in the code.
