This isn't good.

Any number of countries with animosity against each other now can attempt to neutralize their opponent without much effort.

Before there a deterrent was to invade and overcome you had to amass quite a bit of materiel, supply chain as well as have competent leadership.

now all you need is a plan and some drones and you can strategically weaken an opponent.

As these systems become monopolies - or at least defacto standards - these blanket bans without insight into the process, appeal, or even notification is getting ugly.

I think you're confused on nomenclature here.

GCM is both an authentication method and encryption mode. The big benefit is its all specified as one primitive because combining primitives is where people often screw up.

HMAC-SHA1 is an authentication mechanism, there's various ways you can combine it with something like AES-CTR or AES-CBC to make something secure, but also plenty of ways to screw it up. Saying something like AES-SHA1 is meaningless because there's no standard way to combine those two, so you dont know what the person is doing, and you still dont know what the mode is.
I'm somewhat surprised, given that hosting cURL used to be their primary selling point for their OSS offering[citation needed].

But, they haven't replied to my support emails in ~6 months.

For context: Travis announced a migration from travis-ci.org to travis-ci.com[0] and gradually cut off resources from travis-ci.org to encourage people to migrate[1].

Without notice, they changed the pricing scheme (both for free and paid customers) to a level which effectively meant all OSS projects would have to pay significant amounts of money[2], migrate, or request credits on a monthly basis. The terms for registering as a FOSS project excluded a significant amount of projects, and despite offering a free tier, I didn't know of a developer which this was granted for (until now).

I don't expect that Travis hosts any major OSS projects at this point.

This is good. Once war becomes a function of capital, it basically just becomes an exchange between two countries blowing up each other’s drones.
iCloud sucks!

I tell you what I was trying to do just now. Literally minutes ago.

I have photos in "Library" (i.e. the first screen that loads) and I didn't want that. I wanted them in different albums and just stay there. So I added them to different albums. There's no way to "move". They will still show there.

Now you can hide them from "Library" and they will vanish from the Library. Awesome, right? Nope! They vanished from those other albums you had added them into as well. Now those photos are in a special library called "Hidden". Yes, all those photos!

Okay fine. Now you want them back in those albums. So you go to Hidden and select some photos to be added into an album. Everything happens fine it just that the photos still don't show anywhere but only in Hidden. So I guess you will have to first unhide those photos and get them all in Library and then add them all to albums.

And all I wanted was to keep the photos that processed (i.e. moved to diff albums) and the ones not processed separately.

Now I don't even want to start on how my friends exclaim "What kind of service is this? Which company? God such a pathetic download speed!". Those friends are from all over the globe.
If you use macOS, you can use Apple Photos (with its client-side image recognition) without using iCloud for storage. Just put your Photo Library bundle-directory on a NAS instead, and then either sync it to your local machine, or work with it over SMB.

(Or, for optimal performance, the hybrid solution: put the library in a sparsebundle disk image, put that on the NAS, and then mount the disk image over SMB. This is what Time Machine does under the covers, because it vastly improves the overhead of filesystem operations over directly manipulating the files in SMB.)
This isn't a legal Monopoly game at all. When you land on an unowned property you have to buy it or auction it. "No action" is not a legal option.
Just say “I’d buy that for a dollar” and we can all go back to working on coding up the apocalypse.
How doesn’t it? Do you know how slow traditional solutions are? Or prone to error?
Exactly. An excellent recruiter will build up a pool of candidates and clients who want to work with them, and will start their own agency where the compensation is usually a multiple of what they'd get in-house.

In-house recruiters tend to be one of:

* HR professionals who do some recruitment as part of their job

* A surprising number of people who end up taking on some recruitment responsibilities as part of their secretarial or admin work, and then end up doing it full-time

* Agency recruiters who didn't enjoy or could cut it being agency recruiters

I know a small number of excellent internal recruiters, but they're really the exception not the rule.
To extend, I consider buying thermography device like FLIR. There are dedicated device, smartphone camera adapter, and FLIR integrated smartphone.
Those are actually some really good points. Particularly the 2nd and 3rd one. I'm on the fence about incentivizing feedback though since I'm kinda worried that I'll alter the results by rewarding them with something like an Amazon gift card for example.

And as for our target market, we're currently targeting Data Scientists, MLOps Engineers, and full-stack developers :D
> No, technically fiat money has value because it is accepted by a government to settle taxes.

Not true. There are quite a few places in the world where the de facto dominant currency is not the currency the local government requires for taxes, fees, etc.

In fact, the origin of using taxes + coinage goes back to a pragmatic way for ancient kings to not have to organize the logistics of feeding and housing a large army. Pay the soldiers in coin. Require citizens to pay a tax in the same coin. Boom, they self organize.

Money itself came about far earlier, and was independently invented in multiple places. The example most people look at is temple complexes in the Levant, where debt records came first, and currency second. It was an adaptation of earlier gift economy behavior to enable scaling to groups too large to have intrinsic social trust, and allowing for specialization of labor in building and maintaining the temples.

David Graeber's book will educate you about all this.
What fee? Are you talking about a specific currency or all currencies? In Celo currently fees are 0.1 cent per transaction, for example.
Using a surveillance coin for a surveillance mission, a match made in heaven!

It would make more sense to do this privately and anonymously, so Monero or funds obfuscated with Tornado.cash on the Ethereum network would suffice and a computer can still react to payment received and begin operating.

No one is required to purchase during an auction, everyone could pass.

Simply insert in the directions in the appropriate places "...put the property up for auction and everyone passes immediately."
Yes, this is starting to fill out the details. So is the plan:

1. ssh into your server

2. run the program to get a URL

3. close the ssh connection

4. Open a browser SSH connection and use the url?

In which case,

1. hmm, what is the benefit

2. how do you prevent the hosting webserver from seeing the url parameter? Assuming you want the hosting system to not be able to interfere in the session. If you are OK with such interference, you can make an easier key distribution than this.

Or is the idea:

1. Setup your own webserver

2. authenticated to the webserver with some other protocol

3. the webserver grabs the url (it's hosted on the same server as the terminal server?) and then redirects to a page with the URL that you can use for the session

In which case, err, why encourage people to use this third party server if that server can read the url? Also, there are again more secure ways of handling this that don't expose your terminal key as a URL parameter

Remember URL parameters get leaked in referer and it's generally not recommended to store secrets in them if you can avoid it, which I believe in this use case you can, again assuming I have the workflows right.

What this needs is a simple diagram showing the terminal server, the webserver, and the user's browser, defining the trust relationships between these, and explaining the flow of information among these components during key establishment and rotation.

Who gets to decide when to get over it? Imagine telling Africans to get over their resentment for 19th century slavery because it was so long ago. Or from a more positive viewpoint, imagine telling Americans that they should not be proud of the identity they've built up as a result of the Civil War.

That's not how it works. In Chinese history, 150 years is recent. As a Chinese, I'm offended at how you can so casually brush aside an important historic period just to suit your political preferences.

You're brushing it aside and painting it as merely a tool for blaming foreigners. And yet if you actually read Chinese media you will see very little foreign-bashing. Go ahead, read Xinhua with Google Translate, read CGTN. Now compare that with BBC, CNN. Go visit some Chinese schools and learn how they teach history or about the west. Chinese people have much, much more favorable views of foreign countries than westerners tend to have about China. Heck, not few Chinese become disappointed at the west after they've traveled, because the image of the west that they built up in China was too rose-colored.

How does all that possibly fit in the idea that the Chinese government uses opium wars to stir up anti-foreign sentiment? It doesn't. What is taught about the opium wars isn't "foreigners are the cause of our suffering", but "we must not be weak".
I'm sure it's a change from how it worked before, but I don't see the real problem. If you can afford to pay developers, you can probably afford to pay for CI. They don't have to offer a free tier at all.

Surely a distinction can be made between attacking someone's character and attacking their claim to authority. Within every scientific paper there's an implicit claim to authority and here the track record has weight alongside whatever qualifications they may have.

Historians are the only sources you'd accept for evidence?

I guess that's your prerogative, but I'm not going to put in any further effort to help you find the evidence you asked for.

FYI, I don't necessarily agree with Gatto, but he makes the strongest case I've seen for the position you're arguing against. You should start with him if you want to refute it.
This is precisely the goal. However it's sad, you have to drive further from the highways to find something. Then, the last time I stopped to ask someone at a gas station for a good local restaurant - specifically not a chain, the answer I got was "there's a Denny's down the road." Nothing against Denny's - but they missed the point.
My wife’s Uber account (for both rides and food) is banned for life because she had a sleazy driver aggressively come on to her and when she went to get out of the car he said “I know where you live now” and drove off. She complained to Uber, they did nothing other than say “the driver left negative feedback on your ride” and her account got instantly banned. Follow up calls to them just said she “broke terms and conditions and there’s nothing they can do”.

For perspective, she had a similar sleazy taxi driver years ago, who she complained about to the taxi company. He was fired immediately and the taxi company offered to help my wife with going to the police if she wanted to (and offered the in-car video).

Thankfully we still have taxis locally, but the drivers have told me their numbers have dropped and Uber is winning.

Let's see, in order to have a wife, you need to be rich, have a house, a car, and be an exec at a major company. The one-child policy has put these kinds of demands on boyz in china for years. Its even called the 'little king',
But the most glaring problem is that there aren't many 'exec jobs' in china, Just like usa, most USA urbans don't become major league basketball stars, rock stars, or Fortune 100 CEO's; in china, most college grads don't become ceo-execs, there just isn't enough slots for the billion people.

All this causes a lot of demand to get 'rich quick', sure most got a girlfriend in college, but in order to 'marry her', you got to meet approval of the mother. Huge pressure in china for the little kings to carry on the legacy of the family name, they must get the wife and make offspring, or they lose face.

The above said, todays billionaire of course is like yesterdays millionaire, growing up myself a millionaire was a big deal, IMHO today everybody that owns a house is a millionaire, so what?

So today in China, if you want to have a wife you must set sights high.

Then there is the jack-ma problem, so you become a billionaire, and you own the monopoly per sam here or peter theil, then of course you become a target of the CCP and you eventually 'dissapear'

Having lived in China, on&off the past 40+ years, I can say I have seen amazing change, from normal poverty to the worlds first class 'disneyland/tomorrowland' for most citys.

The other thing today, is everybody in ASIA is playing 'crypto' I think that post y2k era, with the exception of the unicorn thingy on this site, its not easy to become a ceo of your own company like it was post 1980's

So the problem is still there, if you want a wife you got to be rich, but the only way people can get rich is crypto, so everybody is in over their head.

Well to summarize this topic, friends probably don't want to lose friends, once the boy is a billionaire, he's got a wife&kids, you never see him again, the others who are still 'poor' can do the misery loves company thingy.

This is all because of the one child policy. Now if you look at the USA, this is not a problem, most people can hookup if they wish. Wealth helps, but its not critical.

Just to make something clear having lived in China, that in the rural area's its common to see 2-3 sons, people need the labor, its only in the City's that the one-child policy was ruthlessly enforced.
I think it is pretty lame to try and say it is a mental health issue to talk to the media after a loss. You get paid millions of dollars to play sports, talking to the media is a part of that. I'm not saying that rich people can never complain about anything, but if the worst part of your job is talking to the media after losing a tennis game, I don't have much sympathy. If you don't want to talk to the media, don't sign up for a job that is based around performing and being a public figure.

Growth of the economy without growth of the money supply leads to deflation, which harms consumption and investment, because hanging on to your money becomes competitive with actively doing something with it.

A small amount of inflation is an incentive to find productive uses for capital. Deflation rewards a kind of rentier class who own capital but don't do anything with it.
US Presidents are the peak of this. Presidential salary is currently $400K, the real money is made as a former President. George W. Bush, Clinton, Obama have made incredibly amounts of money since being President.

Businesses deliberately plan for and rely on people like you making that distinction, even though you shouldn’t. Why should it matter? The consumer is fucked either way.

People paid a lot of money for Enron stock before it exploded. Did that mean it was worth $70B the day before it exploded and suddenly it was worth nothing when people found out it was actually all a fraud?

Enron wasn't actually producing any value. Neither are self-replicating Byzantine fault tolerant systems.

Anything they can do can be done hundreds of orders of magnitude more efficiently. And nothing they are doing /requires/ the inefficiencies.

I mean, obviously people at Enron were doing /something/ in the same way Bitcoin is. And obviously investors were paying a lot of money for that at one point and then stopped paying for it when it became clear that /something/ was mostly fraud.
Wut. Get a mentor instead.
Not even remotely an alternative in terms of usability/reliability, but I can describe my DIY setup.

I have a DIY NAS, based on a Raspberry Pi and an external hard disk enclosure, running in my kitchen. The disks are encrypted with LUKS. A combination of Syncthing and a cron job ensure that photos from my phone are constantly synced to the NAS without any input from me, and old photos are removed from my phone. A nice bonus is that if someone were to search my phone, they would not find many photos on it. I also never run out of space for photos/videos on my phone.

To view photos I use Shotwell. It does a decent if not perfect job of tagging, basic editing etc.

For encrypted, deduplicated offsite backups I use rsync.net and Borg, again together with a cron job.

All this crap is configured with Ansible in an effort to make it a little less fragile and more reproducible. It has been running without maintenance for a year or so but if you take this path, expect to spend many, many hours tearing your hair out over SAMBA Unix permissions and all sorts of other delights...
